Denis Hogan's THECOMPANYSERGEANT should be good enough to record a first win over fences. Runner-up in a Grade 3 at Thurles in March, the seven-year-old was fourth in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse on his next start. Although a beaten favourite at Kilbeggan on his return last month, the gelding may just have needed that run. Genois has yet to win from 12 attempts over fences but the Enda Bolger-trained eight-year-old has plenty of valuable experience. Implicit was beaten with over a circuit to run on her chasing debut at Tramore last month. Sent off odds-on for that contest, the Willie Mullins-trained mare clearly didn't give her true running.

Useful hurdler THE BIG DOYEN made an encouraging start over fences at Kilbeggan and, with this drop back in trip and the fitting of a hood both potentially good moves, he is taken to strike. Thecompanysergeant has found just one too good on two of his three completed starts over fences and he is feared most. That said, Implicit didnt appear to be anywhere near 100% on her chase debut and she remains of interest, while Jet Setting Jim could also have a part to play if his jumping passes the test.

With four fine chasing runs in defeat, including in a Grade 1, it will be disappointing if THECOMPANYSERGEANT(nap) can't win
Class & Speed Card

GREAT BEAR has been a consistent sort since switching his attention to chasing and the eight-year-old ran his best race to date when going down by just a short head last time. Raised 3lb subsequently, the son of Dansili should have more to offer. Bythesametoken may have needed his reappearance at Aintree in April but shaped much better when third at Ballinrobe last time. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained Fame And Glory gelding is a former course winner who is suited to a flat track such as this. Time Marches On won over course and distance on his penultimate start. Pulled up last time, he needs to recapture that earlier form if he is to be a contender.

If GREAT BEAR puts in a good round of jumping it could be a case of fifth time lucky over fences for this 8-y-o, who posted his best effort yet in this sphere when just failing at Punchestown last month. The Greek shaped well over hurdles on the back of an 11-month absence at Wexford and he looks dangerous back over fences. Marvel Fan is third choice ahead of Bythesametoken.

With just a little improvement from his second placing at Punchestown last month GREAT BEAR can record a first chase success.
Class & Speed Card

Runner-up in a more competitive novice event at Leicester at the end of May, SIMPLY BLUE is very hard to oppose given that run sets a high standard as the winner was thought good enough to subsequently contest the Norfolk at Royal Ascot. Heading the list of dangers is Cape Sovereign and Kevn Ryan's representative should be seriously considered if supported in the betting. Stablemates Urban Sky and Sealine are others to monitor closely too.

SIMPLY BLUE stepped up on his debut when just failing at Leicester and sets a decent standard. Cape Sovereign makes the most appeal of the newcomers before market clues.

The standard is set by SIMPLY BLUE who could well have more to offer. Corpus Juris can chase him home.
Class & Speed Card

ALFRED COVE has been consistent of late and, as his only previous win came over an extended 5f here, the five-year-old has a lot going for him in his bid to gain a belated second career success. Battleofbaltimore hinted at a revival last time out and can go close again with another step forward, while Rebel Redemption ran well for a long way over 7f here last week and is also a key player dropping back down in trip.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and this looks a good opportunity for BATTLEOFBALTIMORE to gain his breakthrough success now he returns to 6f following a solid fourth over the minimum trip at Bath. Rebel Redemption could emerge as the main danger if building on his recent third here, with the handily-weighted Alfred Covr also in the mix if back on song.

This looks a good opportunity for ALFRED COVE to double his winning tally. He is favoured by these terms and his sole win came here.
Class & Speed Card

ERNIE FROM NURNEY looks very well treated here off a chase mark which is 14lb below his hurdle rating. The seven-year-old reverts to fences here having won his latest two starts over flights. Prior to that, he had run very well when third over the larger obstacles at Thurles. The Tramore winner Prince Of Air should again be competitive despite having been hit with a 7lb rise for that success. Likeable Chancer, a point-to-point and chase winner, has been running well over hurdles in recent months. Back over fences for the first time since October, the gelding enters calculations.

ERNIE FROM NURNEY has shown improved form to win his last two hurdles starts and there's good reason to believe that he'll be able to continue the good work now returned to fences. Indeed, he resumes in this sphere off a mark 5 lb below that off which he scored at Limerick last time and appeared to be getting the hang of things when third on his latest chase start. Likable Chancer and Prince of Air rate the main dangers but also look out for May Call You Back on her chase/yard debut.

This affords a good opportunity to ERNIE FORM NURNEY who is now 14lb higher over hurdles after wins at Roscommon and Limerick
Class & Speed Card

INDIVIDUALISM has contested deeper races than this and, with the trip and forecast ground ideal, he looks worth chancing on his first start back after being gelded. Untried over this trip but a potential improver, Jonny Concrete also drops back down in class and is feared after a respectable third-placed finish over 7f at Haydock last month. Miaswell won over a mile at that same venue when last seen and enters calculations off 6lb higher. Recent C&D winner Rose Branch has the same burden but looks vulnerable this time.

MIASWELL was much improved when making a successful handicap debut at Haydock and there is probably more to come from him now, so he can defy a 6 lb rise. Rose Branch, a winner here on her return a fortnight ago, could progress further also and is feared most ahead of Mysteryofthesands.

A trappy race can fall to MIASWELL, unexposed and a game winner on his handicap debut. Rose Branch is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

A dual winner over 7f here in June, SHAW PARK has been in the form of his life and, with the return to a mile not expected to be an issue, the Scott Dixon-trained gelding is a strong fancy to round out a three-timer under a 5lb penalty. Course specialist Uncle Dick is feared most, although Otago lurks on a competitive mark and also warrants consideration.

SHAW PARK comes here on a roll so is fancied to bag a quick course hat-trick at the chief expense of fellow course specialist Uncle Dick who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fifth over C&D last time. Dequinto appeals as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

This may be best left to SHAW PARK who can complete a course hat-trick, with the return to this trip not expected to be an issue.
Class & Speed Card

FARROKH was a winner here over hurdles in May and the Barry Connell-trained gelding has subsequently run well in beginners chases over further. With the five-year-old giving the impression that he is better suited to two miles, he has to be of interest here. Recent Clonmel winner Druim Samhraidh could have more to offer on his first start for trainer Paul Flynn. The veteran won with something in hand that day, so a 6lb rise may not inconvenience him. Limerick winner Crowsatedappletart can still race off a mark which is 4lb below his hurdle rating and should be capable of making his presence felt.

FARROKH tied up late over further last time and has more to offer having his first go in a handicap chase, so he gets the nod over last-time-out winner Robin de Roost, who is likely to put up another solid showing. Crowsatedappletart is another one to consider.

A hopeful vote goes to ITSALLABOUTEVE who ran well over hurdles last time and is relatively unexposed as a chaser
Class & Speed Card

Pisanello returned to form in a competitive handicap at York last month and could go well despite being burdened with a 4lb higher mark, while Repertoire and Aragon Castle both score highly for reliability and have to enter calculations. However, preference is for JAMES MCHENRY, whose best form has arguably been posted when encountering a stiff finish and the topweight can cement his authority in this company.

There is a bigger performance coming from LONDONER from his much-reduced mark and he's worth chancing for his local trainer, who cleaned up here on Thursday. York-winner Pisanello and Aragon Castle are a couple of the other likely players.

The class-dropping Dutch Decoy can revive but PISANELLO, a dual C&D winner last year, is preferred after his York win last month.
Class & Speed Card

After a successful weekend, this could be a good time to stick with Cieren Fallon as the rider is reunited with C&D winner BLENHEIM STAR. Fallon was in the saddle aboard William Knight's filly for that victory last month and the partnership has a solid chance back at this venue. Blacklion looks the chief danger, with Interestnpenalties suggested as the pick of the remainder.

BLENHEIM STAR wasn't at her best when seventh at Bath last time after a busy spell but she remains on a workable mark and is fancied to bounce back in style. George Baker's new recruit Blacklion could emerge as the chief threat to William Knight's C&D scorer ahead of Make A Scene.

A trappy handicap in which BLENHEIM STAR is tentatively selected to bounce back from a quiet run at Bath last month.
Class & Speed Card

A winner of his latest two starts over fences, KILMURRY JJ can complete the hat-trick. A promising horse over hurdles for his previous connections, the seven-year-old has really blossomed since switching to fences. Although this represents a tougher ask, especially without his regular jockey on board, the gelding could be up to the job. Tullyveery Lad improved on previous efforts when a good winner at Downpatrick last time. While this track presents a very different test, the eight-year-old arrives here at the top of his game. All Walks Of Life disappointed at Listowel last time but had run well on her previous start at Clonmel.

TULLYVEERY LAD looks to have been handed a lenient opening mark based on his Downpatrick success and he's fancied to get the better of Garde La Peche, who also switches to handicaps with more to come. Kilmurry JJ is also worthy of consideration.

There should be much more to come from GARDE LA PECHE, who made a winning start to chasing at Clonmel last time, and she can win again.
Class & Speed Card

The key to this race looks to be last month's clash over C&D between Jordan Electrics (first) and WINTER CROWN (second), with preference for the latter on this occasion. Julie Camacho's charge is 7lb better off for a half-length defeat and can gain a first success since this time last year. Narrowly denied at Ayr last time out, Sacred Falls is another to consider, as well as Catterick scorer Animate.

SACRED FALLS was beaten narrowly after finding herself on the back foot right away at Ayr and is worth chancing to go one better. Jordan Electrics and old rival Winter Crown can go well again,

Competitive fare but a 2lb rise for a recent Catterick win may underestimate ANIMATE (nap). Sacred Falls can chase him home.
Class & Speed Card

CORPORATE RAIDER (second) was narrowly denied by the reopposing Chourmo (first) when the pair met in a classified event over C&D two starts ago and, despite the former being 3lb worse off this time around, he showed a likeable attitude when making all over 1m4f here most recently and would be dangerous to overlook in his current mood. Fellow last-time-out winner Bhubezi completes the shortlist upped 4lb for winning over a mile at Chepstow, even though this step back up in trip asks a question of him.

Silvestre De Sousa is an eye-catching booking for LUCKY QUESTION, who acquitted himself well on several occasions in competitive handicaps in Ireland and looks on a decent mark on debut for his new yard here. Corporate Raider and Chourmo can also make their presence felt.

The vote goes to CHOURMO whose record over C&D reads 131 and who is weighted to confirm last month's running with Corporate Raider.
Class & Speed Card

The Willie Mullins-trained JUDICIEUSE ALLEN has strong claims of making a winning debut over fences. The daughter of Great Pretender has been highly tried in graded company and this represents an easier opportunity for her to record a second career success. Listed winner Space Tourist has been absent since December but that is seldom a concern with runners from the Mullins yard. Media Naranja looks the pick of two Gordon Elliott mares.

SPACE TOURIST was below form when last seen but should be freshened up now and she's the best of these over hurdles, so she's the straightforward choice. Media Naranja isn't far behind her in terms of ability, so she's a danger. Judicieuse Allen, a stablemate of the selection, could also provide stern opposition.

Though below form over hurdles when last seen at Punchestown, POPOVA could bounce back making her chasing debut.
Class & Speed Card

Runner-up on both starts here this season, VICTORY SHOUT is much better than what he showed at Thirsk last time out, and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways. Dunstan was ahead of the selection when last seen and can improve on that first run for the Tom Dascombe team, while Percy Shelley should find this grade much easier for his shrewd connections.

PERCY SHELLEY didn't seem to take to Epsom again last time and had previously shaped well at York so could be worth chancing dropped in class here. Quantum Leap could be the danger first time back if breaking on terms.

This looks tight, but in part due to none of the runners presenting a convincing case. WICKYWICKYWHEELS is selected.
Class & Speed Card

LADY WINGALONG was the subject of significant market support when going down narrowly in a Lingfield handicap over 7f last month, travelling well for a long way before finding one rival too good. Off just 2lb higher, her supporters can reap the rewards for keeping the faith. A 4lb penalty for a recent victory over a mile here doesn't discount Kondratiev Wave, while Porterinthejungle benefitted from the reapplication of a hood (retained) when scoring over 7f at Chepstow last time and she also enters calculations.

PORTERINTHEJUNGLE has dropped to a handy mark and bounced back to form when scoring at Chepstow last week. She may be able to follow up. Kondratiev Wave and Lady Wingalong rate the principal dangers.

Some in-form contenders on show and LADY WINGALONG appeals as the type to carry on improving for her new stable.
Class & Speed Card

Three-time winner THEONEWEDREAMOF made a promising introduction to chasing when staying on late to finish third at Kilbeggan last time. Given that she was having her first start since December, the daughter of French Navy should be all the better for that outing. Our Bobby, a winner over hurdles at Listowel last time, arrives here in great form. The gelding shaped well on two previous runs over fences so should be capable of getting involved. Arabian King also commands respect on his first start over fences.

THEONEWEDREAMOF's third at Kilbeggan on chasing debut is the best piece of form on offer and she's the type to do better, so she's preferred to Winding River, who also remains with potential as a chaser. Woodstream Lad also makes the shortlist on his first go over the larger obstacles.

A promising first run over fences at Kilbeggan gives THEONEWEDREAMOF a leading chance in a race in which several have fair claims
Class & Speed Card

GREEN TRIANGLE could make it third-time lucky from a decent draw. He has posted two placed efforts over a similar trip at this track and in a valuable auction series race at Leopardstown. Paddy Twomey's juveniles are often primed to perform on debut, so Churchill filly J'adore Chris is respected. Tomarlo has the best draw in stall one and James Ryan takes 5lb off his back. He can improve on his third start for David Marnane. The 74-rated Boyne Valley, newcomer Let It Linger and Runninsonofagun (a place behind Green Triangle in fourth at Leopardstown) are others that could get in the mix.

GREEN TRIANGLE has made a good start with placed efforts at Roscommon and Leopardstown and can open his account. J'Adore Chris is an interesting newcomer, while Boyne Valley is also in with a shout.

Third time lucky looks likely for GREEN TRIANGLE. He has already beaten Runninsonofagun and Boyne Valley and can do so again
Class & Speed Card

LADY BOUQUET scored in dominant fashion at Beverley in an apprentice handicap a week ago and the booking of William Buick is a major plus on this occasion. John Kirkup can give her the most to think about on the drop in trip, having run with credit of late over further, while Tees Douge shaped with encouragement when fourth at Doncaster last month.

Not a strong-looking race and LADY BOUQUET can follow up last week's Beverley success. John Kirkup is the danger.

Hardy Angel should go well but this is a drop in grade for SOUND OF IONA and she can exploit her lowly mark.
Class & Speed Card

COGSWORTH readily dispatched a subsequent winner when scoring over C&D last time and, upped 6lb, he is hard to oppose in a bid to bring up a hat-trick. The unexposed Wedgewood Sapphire is a must for the shortlist after running out a decisive winner over an extended 7f at Lingfield recently. Havana Mojito hit the target over C&D when last seen and also commands respect.

COGSWORTH is on the up and won a shade cosily here last time. He can complete the hat-trick in the finale. Recent C&D winner Havana Mojito is feared most.

Preference is for COGSWORTH (nap) who did it well over C&D last time and is taken to complete the hat-trick.
Class & Speed Card

POLLING DAY shaped with more promise than the bare form suggests on his hurdling debut at Fakenham earlier this month, racing keenly up with the pace before coming to grief two from home. With that outing under his belt, he gets the vote to open his account. The unexposed Green Machine may prove a shrewd acquisition for the Fergal O'Brien team and he warrants respect on his hurdling bow, while Cusano is also considered.

CUSANO has been a little underwhelming so far over hurdles, but it shouldn't be assumed he's shown all he can based on his fairly useful Flat form, so he's worth another chance in a weak maiden. Polling Day exited just as things were taking shape on his hurdling bow at Fakenham and retains potential, with Calshot Spit and Green Machine others to consider.

Cusano should be involved but BALTIC VOYAGE has potential as he ran in a better race last time and has had wind surgery since.
Class & Speed Card

Although finding one too good on each of his last four starts over fences, DUTCH SCHULTZ can reward supporters patience. A three-time winner, the son of Golden Horn is nicely treated by these race conditions, while the small field is unlikely to trouble him. Point-to-point winner Mayor's Walk made a winning start to her chasing career at Limerick in May. The Henry De Bromhead-trained mare has to concede weight to a trio of rivals but could prove up to the task. Slip Of The Tongue is undoubtedly well in at these weights but the seven-year-old has been below his best in recent times. However, given the excellent form of trainer Padraig Roche, a revival wouldn't be out of the question.

MAYOR'S WALK made an excellent start to her chase career when scoring at Limerick in May and, with improvement on the cards, she's fancied to defy a penalty at the possible expense of Dutch Schultz, who is closely matched on form at the weights. Purse Price isn't one to rule out.

Having put some poor hurdle runs behind her when winning a Limerick beginners' chase last time, MAYOR'S WALK can take this.
Class & Speed Card

Ger Lyons saddled three winners over Irish Derby weekend at the Curragh and SERIOUS NOTIONS could be another for him. She had some notable placed form during her juvenile campaign and is entitled to come on from her sixth on seasonal reappearance at Gowran Park. Dermot Weld's Blue Poppy was due to run in an Oaks trial at Naas, but was found to be in season. She is highly likely to improve upon unplaced runs at Listowel and Fairyhouse. Kailasa is rated 8lb inferior to Serious Notions, however, she hasn't been beaten overly far in all three appearances to date. She could have fared better with the draw, though. Castanets is a newcomer to monitor in the market.

SERIOUS NOTIONS has become expensive to follow but it's possible she'll strip fitter for her reappearance run 15 days ago and the pick of her 2-y-o form gives her sound claims in a maiden lacking depth. She earns the vote ahead of Kailasa and Joseph O'Brien's newcomer Castanets.

Serious Notions hasn't delivered on her juvenile promise and KAILASA looks a more solid option on recent form at this trip
Class & Speed Card

PADDYS ISLAND showed up well for a long way before fading into fourth late on over an extended 2m2f here recently but, stepping back in trip, Robbie Llewellyn's unexposed five-year-old gets the nod to show his rivals the way home. A Day To Dream was last seen finishing an excellent second over 2m at Fakenham, and a repeat of that effort should see him there or thereabouts once again. Reach For The Moon also enters calculations.

REACH FOR THE MOON shaped as if needing the run for both fitness and experience when fourth at Worcester last month and there's surely better still to come given his high achievements on the Flat, so he makes most appeal. A Day To Dream and Hot Fizzy Lizzy are feared most.

The pick is PADDYS ISLAND, who shaped with considerable promise when fourth over 2m2f here on his recent rules debut.
Class & Speed Card

The last time PASCALIA encountered 7f she obliged in Dundalk which gives her prospects here. She has been placed over further since and although she disappointed in Leopardstown, that may have been down to the first-time blinkers which are now discarded. Trueba was a solid third in Limerick and isn't on a bad mark with Wesley Joyce's 5lb claim factored in. Scarlet Dancer is a long-standing maiden in Ireland, but performed well in second in a quickly-run race at Gowran Park. Colin Keane is an eye-catching booking for Kami, while Leviosa and Mark's One are far from out of contention. Reserve Baalbec Beauty would have claims if getting a run.

GOLDEN DAYS shaped better than the bare result when midfield in a big-field Limerick handicap 3 weeks ago, denied a run over 1f out and noted finishing with running left. That marked her down as one to be interested in and she looks a live player. Trueba, Pascalia and Lauroline are others to consider in a competitive affair.

Preference is for LEVIOSA, a fine second at Limerick recently and who went close over C&D this time last year
Class & Speed Card

ELLERTON responded well to the application of a visor when finishing second behind an in-form rival over 2m1f at Newton Abbot latest, and a repeat of that effort might be enough to see him go one place better this time. Ned Cash made a promising start to life in handicaps when finishing third over shorter here last month, and another prominent showing is expected off an unchanged mark. Amalfi Bay is noted too.

A tightly-knit handicap in which ELLERTON is taken to build on his very good Newton Abbot second and get back to winning ways. Ned Cash heads the list of dangers on the back of his good recent third here with Bob O Rhino, Amalfi Bay and Fashionelle also in the picture.

Preference is for NED CASH (nap), who made up considerable ground on the final circuit when third over 2m here on his handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card

ALEX BELARDO is less exposed than most and showed up well in second over a shorter trip at Fairyhouse. He didn't enjoy the clearest route, but it was a promising second foray into handicap company. The veteran Swiss Army Officer has to enter calculations. He held every chance approaching the final furlong in Tipperary before being beaten just under a length into third and remains on the same lowly mark of 49. Manhattan Dandy put in a below-par effort at Gowran Park, but was in the money on his last three visits to this track. Sneddy Eddie and Saffredi will have their supporters, while reserve Fastman would have decent claims if getting in.

Gavin Cromwell's SAFFREDI wasn't seen to anything like best effect when fourth at Down Royal last time and can prove his current mark to be a lenient one by opening his account here. Fairyhouse runner-up Alex Belardo should proved suited by this step up in distance so rates the main danger, although Swiss Army Officer, Sneddy Eddie and Gosford also enter calculations.

Plenty with chances with preference for the 3yo ALEX BELARDO who could be open to more improvement than most now upped in trip
Class & Speed Card

Now that the penny has dropped for FICTIONAL after a comfortable success at Kempton last month, the four-year-old should have plenty more to come as he steps up in distance on this occasion. The booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye, and he may have too much for Smart Charger, who has strong claims on his penultimate victory at Yarmouth, while Asense is another with the potential to improve on the step up to 2m.

In a change of headgear, FICTIONAL did better under a switch to positive tactics when opening his account over shorter at Kempton 3 weeks ago. Seen to good effect that day, he's comfortably one of the least exposed in this field and gets the nod to follow up over this much longer trip. Anisoptera back on AW/partnered by Tom Marquand and Smart Charger are others to consider, with Vin Rouge another not out of things.

This may rest between FICTIONAL, Smart Charger and Vin Rouge, who are preferred in that order.
Class & Speed Card

A maiden hurdle winner last autumn, ON SE CALME returned to action with decent fourth at Uttoxeter on only her second start handicapping. Alan King's mare has plenty of scope for further progress and gets the vote on this occasion. Sarsen ran well for a long way when third at Fontwell in first-time blinkers and looks likely to be thereabouts at the finish, while the veteran Admiral's Sunset could also go well.

ON SE CALME was far from disgraced but ultimately shaped as if she'd come on for the run after 7 months off when fourth at Uttoxeter 26 days ago and Alan King's mare could well be the answer here. Sarsen, Coilrock, stepping back in trip, and Platenium are others to consider.

Alan King's mare ON SE CALME returned from a break with a good effort last month and is not yet fully exposed.
Class & Speed Card

LEINSTER was a ready winner over an extended 1m2f at Down Royal and appeals on handicap debut. He holds a Group 2 entry later this month which shows the regard he is held in. Sumptuary Law is going the right way after victories in Dundalk and Leopardstown, and has to be respected up in trip. Sli Na Ghealai found a Group 3 too hot in the Curragh but, prior to that, enjoyed clear-cut victories at Down Royal and Leopardstown. She is another up in trip. Gesture is well versed over a similar trip on the Polytrack at Dundalk, but giving weight away to this field isn't going to be easy. Alabama Calling is another to consider.

The form of MASOUN's Cork second 18 days ago has been well-advertised since by the progressive winner since and, with this step back up in trip a good move, he is taken to go one better here. Gibbs Island's latest effort wasn't one of his better ones but he is pretty consistent and should give another good account, while unexposed pair Leinster and It'sonlyjustbegun are interesting. Slurricane is also on the shortlist,

A chance is taken on LEINSTER adding to his Dundalk maiden win. He left a good impression that day and can hopefully build on it here
Class & Speed Card

Turned out again quickly after breaking the maiden with a comfortable success at Chepstow recently, RED CLOUD is entitled to improve for going up in trip, and he can strike again for his in-form connections. That may be at the main expense of Dillydingdillydong, who has done well since joining new connections and ran well over shorter here last month. Piranheer and Top Flight Century are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

RED CLOUD won in the style of a progressive sort in a Chepstow handicap last week and should take the beating. Velvet Vulcan and Piranheer both have eye-catching jockey bookings and are feared most.

There's a bit for him to prove but, as a 3yo with form figures of 221 since he went handicapping, RED CLOUD (nap) has to catch the eye.
Class & Speed Card

MATTERHORN has won both starts over the larger obstacles in good style, and Paul Nicholls' gelding is difficult to oppose raised only 4lb. He had Parc d'Amour back in third when successful at Worcester last time and finished well clear of the runner-up Gower Prince when scoring at Ludlow before that. The latter pair will do well to reverse the placings, despite the more favourable terms, with Kim Bailey's charge looking the most likely danger.

MATTERHORN might have beaten just 4 rivals in total to win both his starts over fences but he's looked a natural in this sphere and this looks another good opportunity. Parc d'Amour has also made a positive start over fences and is the obvious threat.

Parc d'Amour has more to offer over fences but is not straightforward and MATTERHORN may dominate from the front again.
Class & Speed Card

SLIEVE BINNIAN was unplaced in a much higher grade at the Curragh in May, but was beaten less than five lengths and the form of that race is working out very well. He enjoys an extended 1m2f and looks set for a big run. There is surely more to come from First Snow Moon on her second start in Ireland as she has some smart French form to her name. Bear Profit is markedly up in class, but his victory in Leopardstown can be upgraded as he had to overcome several issues throughout the race. Theophilos and Annexation are others chasing prize money.

Lots with chances but Charles Byrnes' SPY has slipped to an attractive mark and could prove the answer with the likely strong pace sure to see him in a good light. Leopardstown scorer Bear Profit heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of Out On Friday, Annexation and Loingseoir in this very open handicap.

Bear Profit will be hard to contain on recent evidence but GOLDEN ASH caught the eye when last seen out and is preferred
Class & Speed Card

This can go the way of SERAPH GABRIEL, who shaped with plenty of promise on debut at Newbury when outpaced mid-race before rallying late in the piece for fourth. The slight rise in distance is a plus and the son of Saxon Warrior is preferred to Hot Property, who ran a similar sort of race first time out at Hamilton over 6f. A well-bred son of Dubawi, newcomer Archivist must be monitored for market support.

Though the three with experience all look promising, the vote goes to newcomer ARCHIVIST, who looks the part on paper. It goes without saying that confidence behind him in the betting would look significant. Seraph Gabriel shaped well on his introduction at Newbury and he is feared most ahead of Hot Property.

Three showed significant ability and promise first time out but there may well be a viable alternative in the Stoute newcomer ARCHIVIST.
Class & Speed Card

HICONIC wasn't beaten far in second when upped to 2m4f at Worcester on her latest start. This extra test of stamina should play to her strengths, and she can go one better. Westbrook Lad also found only one too good at Uttoxeter in novice company, but a hike in the weights makes life more difficult, while Ballyvaughan Bay has been raised 6lb for winning a lower grade contest at Southwell. Art Approval is preferred of the remainder.

ROYAL PRETENDER's losing run is admittedly mounting up but there were positives to glean from his latest effort at Uttoxeter and he could be worth chancing in this open-looking contest. If able to build on last month's breakthrough success at Southwell, Ballyvaughan Bay will be a serious threat, while Art Approval also offered signs of encouragement last time and Obsessedwithyou is interesting now faced with a stiffer test.

Last-time-out winner Ballyvaughan Bay is not passed over lightly but HICONIC ran a big race in defeat last time and gets the vote.
Class & Speed Card

Joseph O'Brien's RAISE YOU showed he still retains plenty of ability when keeping on for fourth in a Group 3 at the Curragh in April. That was his first run in more than 19 months and it is worth remembering that he was a stayer who beat a former Irish St Leger winner in the Curragh a couple of years ago. Serious Challenge was a notable fourth behind the classy Kyprios in a Group 3 at Leopardstown in March. He doesn't lack stamina and is a major contender. Raise You's stablemate, Deakin, still has scope for improvement, while Chally Chute and Taipan have plenty of ability but have lengthy absences to overcome.

RAISE YOU confirmed he retains all his ability after a lengthy absence and shaped better than the bare result in the process when fourth in Group 3 company in April and he looks a serious player back at listed level. Stablemate Deakin was better than the bare result in a big-field Royal Ascot handicap 11 days ago and he's feared, as is Serious Challenge, who arrives in good form.

Raise You sets the standard but the second run back after a break is always a concern and TAIPAN is given the nod on his return
Class & Speed Card

ALASHOS showed a big improvement when going agonisingly close at Brighton a fortnight ago. That looks the strongest form on offer, and he's taken to overcome a wide draw and come out best. Twilight Ballet placed over the minimum trip here on debut only to disappoint at Newmarket last week. It's too soon to write him off just yet, while Bluesy Moon is making steady progress without yet threatening to open her account. Silca Bay is related to a couple of winning sprinters and is a newcomer to keep an eye on.

ALASHOS took a marked step forward with his debut run under his belt when runner-up in a Brighton maiden (6f) 2 weeks ago and a repeat may well be enough to see him go one place better here. Twilight Ballet is a threat if shrugging off a lesser effort at Newmarket. Newcomer Silca Bay and Lexington Jet are another couple to monitor.

A few of these will be of more interest later on but ALASHOS showed plenty of dash at Brighton and should make a very bold bid.

NIBRAS GOLD was returning from a break when a close runner-up on his chase debut at Ffos Las at the end of May and has a major chance of going one better, espcially over this suitable longer trip. Previous C&D winner Chess Player has a lot going for on these terms and may pick up the pieces if the selection underperforms, although support in the betting for chasing debutant Walkingoneggshells would also be noteworthy.

NIBRAS GOLD made an encouraging start over fences at Ffos Las in May and looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark in this sphere. Chess Player and Cheltenam de Vaige look the likeliest dangers.

The most solid option looks to be NIBRAS GOLD after his close second on chase debut when back from a seven-month absence.

There should be a race on the Flat in TELECON. He has won twice over flights and was fourth in a Grade B handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival. His fourth in a maiden at Down Royal last month wasn't devoid of ability. Neptunes Staircase hasn't kicked on from three placed performances between October and April. He is back to a trip that he enjoys, though, and has to be respected. This trip is probably short enough for The Mediator, but he is in the hunt for a cheque. Consistent hurdler Cast A Spell switches to the level and is interesting, while Taymura could perform well on her first start since switching to Ken Condon.

ENDLESS PURSUIT didn't show much in a pair of bumpers but she shaped with some promise at Leopardstown on Flat debut so could be the answer in a very ordinary maiden. The Mediator is next best ahead of Neptunes Staircase.

Little strength in depth, NEPTUNES STAIRCASE sets the standard but will want some rain

WARRIORS DREAM found his way blocked when launching a bid at Newbury on his handicap debut. He would likely have finished a lot closer than fifth with a clear passage and this looks a less competitive contest. Yellow Pages recorded his best effort in a handicap so far when narrowly beaten over the extended 7f at Ffos Las. He can figure again if proving as effective on this faster ground, while Ten Club, a winner over 6f in April, may prove best of the remainder returning to this longer trip.

WARRIORS DREAM was clearly unlucky not to finish closer and possibly even win on his handicap bow at Newbury and is fancied to make amends. Yellow Pages is the obvious threat having gone close off this mark at Ffos Las 9 days ago.

Yellow Pages is respected but WARRIORS DREAM did not get much luck at Newbury last time and can gain compensation.

Ronnies Rules, Kingston Bresil and Peace In The Park are interesting recruits from the point-to-point scene, while Shadowfax Of Rohan can improve after a fourth-placed finish in a Worcester bumper last month. However, it is very possible that the Flat-bred DESERT GUEST will be too speedy for his rivals and the son of Teofilo is suggested as the first to consider in race where the betting market will be a good source of clues.

RONNIES RULES has been picked up by a top yard since landing an Irish point and he makes most appeal bidding to follow up on bumper debut. Desert Guest's pedigree makes him one to note and Shadowfax of Rohan can probably step forward from his first effort.

The most interesting runner is arguably RONNIES RULES, who has joined Dan Skelton since his good-ground Irish point win in May.

Wrestling Revenue was partnered by a 7lb claimer when scoring at Brighton last month. He's effectively racing off a 9lb higher mark, with a 2lb rise also taken into account, and that may well give the edge to BIRKENHEAD. The latter has gone close again since winning on soft going at Catterick in May, but he also has winning form on a fast surface, and Oisin Murphy's presence is another positive. The remainder make little appeal with Nordic Glory perhaps proving best of them.

WRESTLING REVENUE arrives on the back of a career-best win at Brighton 2 weeks ago and is preferred to the in-form but more exposed Birkenhead.

Wrestling Revenue and BIRKENHEAD are the two with the strongest claims and these conditions may favour the selection more.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
