13:30 Sligo Maiden Hurdle 17f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (40/85 +24%) Mordor	0.470588 40/85(+24%)	(6) Mordor 40/85, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 2/1, creditable second of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 37 days ago, no match for winner. Looks to have finished improving but she's a definite player on what she has achieved to date. Placed in four of his seven starts over hurdles, should be too strong for these rivals.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 -21%) Leitzel	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(1) Leitzel 10/3, Fair Flat winner who has made a promising start over hurdles for her new stable over hurdles, third of 15 in juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft, 5/2) 40 days ago. Likely she can play a part again. Won twice for David O'Meara, has made a bright start over hurdles, placed both attempts.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 -20%) Bobbysingindablues	12 12/1(-20%)	(2) Bobbysingindablues 12/1, Affinisea gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler On Cloud Nine. Dam French hurdle winner around 2m. Made frame on first of 2 starts in points, unplaced last time (Mar 31). Not a bad pedigree but did not show much in two runs in points in March.
4	9 4th (9) (40/1 -100%) Serotonin	40 40/1(-100%)	(9) Serotonin 40/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. First run since leaving Alan Richardson when twelfth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Gowran (7f, good) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Has failed to make the frame in eight Flat starts, cheekpieces tried now.
5th	12 5th (12) (125/1 -25%) Tiny Angel	125 125/1(-25%)	(12) Tiny Angel 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Ayr (2m, soft) in December, tailing off before straight. Absent subsequently and she's hard to make a case for here. Tailed off in two Irish starts last November, absent since pulled at Ayr last December.
6th	10 6th (10) (100/1 -52%) Shashado	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Shashado 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, eighth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 53 days ago. Probably one for later on. 66-1 when a remote eighth on his debut at Tipperary in May, likely to need more experience.
7th	7 7th (7) (66/1 -230%) Psycho Sid	66 66/1(-230%)	(7) Psycho Sid 66/1, Casamento gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Athagabhain. Dam ran once in bumper. Third foal half-brother to 2m4f hurdle winner Athagabhain, dam well beaten in a bumper.
8th	3 8th (3) (125/1 -150%) Cois Fharraige	125 125/1(-150%)	(3) Cois Fharraige 125/1, Doyen gelding. Hooded, last of 8 in juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft, 100/1) on NH debut 40 days ago, left behind quickly 2 out. Can only be watched on the back of that. Never in contention when taking on previous winners on debut at Ballinrobe, no appeal.
9th	8 9th (8) (100/1 -300%) Rocket Ruby	100 100/1(-300%)	(8) Rocket Ruby 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, thirteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, good) on NH debut 27 days ago. Jumping was ragged at Roscommon, hampered by a faller after four out, held by Game Eagle.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (20/1 -122%) Game Eagle	20 20/1(-122%)	(5) Game Eagle 20/1, Well held on 6 starts on Flat but achieved more when seventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, good, 40/1) on NH debut 27 days ago. That doesn't appeal as strong form but it remains early days with him in this sphere. Low-grade handicapper on Flat, not a bad effort on hurdle debut though jumping was untidy.
11	11 \|F\| (11) (50/1 -52%) Strandhill Bay	50 50/1(-52%)	(11) Strandhill Bay 50/1, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser The Granson, stayed 19f. Dam 1m winner at 2 yrs. Half-brother to jumps winners The Granson and Kinbara Firstdraft and two Flat winners.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (125/1 -400%) Cowper Hall	125 125/1(-400%)	(4) Cowper Hall 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in novice hurdle (28/1) at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) on NH debut 21 days ago, always behind having not jumped too fluently. Needs to leave that behind if he's to feature. Finished with only one behind him in a maiden at Downpatrick last month, safe to rule out.

LEITZEL won her first two starts as a two-year-old when with David O'Meara and had fair handicap form for him last term. She has shaped well in her first two starts over hurdles and wasn't beaten far when third at Ballinrobe in May. That was an ordinary contest but this looks no stronger and she can score if brushing up her jumping, which was novicey last time. Mordor is the obvious danger and has plenty of experience in this discipline. Placed in four of his six starts over hurdles, he was clear of the remainder when chasing home a smart type at Tramore. Game Eagle ran okay when mid-division on hurdling debut at Roscommon and has place claims.

MORDOR looks to have finished improving but the pick of his exploits over hurdles gives him sound claims here, so he's narrowly preferred to Leitzel in a race lacking depth. Game Eagle may emerge best of the remainder.

The experienced MORDOR should be able to take advantage of this opportunity. Flat winner Leitzel is the only logical alternative

13:40 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (11/2 -10%) The Thames Boatman	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(6) The Thames Boatman 11/2, Latest win at Lingfield in March. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 4/1) 48 days ago. Not taken lightly returned to the minimum trip from steadily easing mark. Four AW wins, the latest in March off 2lb lower; can get it wrong at the start; e-w shout.
2	3 2nd (3) (8/1 -14%) Star Of Lady M	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) Star Of Lady M 8/1, Has proved better than ever this year, recording her third win of the campaign at Thirsk (5f) in May. Comes here on the back of a respectable third of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f) 2 weeks ago and she's not out of things returned to all weather. Had a good year but not at her best here in December; others better handicapped.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/1 -175%) Almaty Star	11 11/1(-175%)	(7) Almaty Star 11/1, Had been displaying more positive signs and gained his reward when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, by nose from stablemate Emperor Spirit. Likely to face competition for the lead but he can't be dismissed in this form. Beat Emperor Spirit over C&D last month; should make another bold bid.
4	2 4th (2) (6/1 +8%) Emperor Spirit	6 6/1(+8%)	(2) Emperor Spirit 6/1, Course winner who confirmed he retains plenty of ability after 13 months off when edged out late on by stablemate Almaty Star in a C&D handicap 17 days ago. Can gain compensation before long on that evidence. Just pipped by reopposing stablemate Almaty Star over C&D last month; set to go well again.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/1 +44%) Night On Earth	5 5/1(+44%)	(5) Night On Earth 5/1, Ended losing run at Lingfield (5f) and having proved consistent thereafter, he resumed winning ways from the front at Epsom (5f) in April. 16/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 2 days ago. Speedy front-runner; conditions to suit & not impossibly treated but others appeal more.
6th	8 6th (8) (25/1 -108%) Rebel Path	25 25/1(-108%)	(8) Rebel Path 25/1, Successful on second of his 2 starts in France. Disappointed initially in handicaps for new yard but eased in weights and turned in easily his best effort of the season when third of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 50 days ago. Needs to keep the slow starts at bay. Welcome signs of a revival at Newmarket last time; C Shepherd replaces an apprentice.
7th	9 7th (9) (9/2 +31%) Shalaa Asker	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(9) Shalaa Asker 9/2, Multiple course winner who added to his tally at Pontefract (6f) last summer. Has essentially run creditably in handful of starts since returning to action at Kempton in April and he returns to AW lurking on a handy mark. Interesting with cheekpieces replacing the visor. On a good mark and returning to AW in his favour; big run on the cards.
8th	4 8th (4) (80/1 -1233%) Cinque Verde	80 80/1(-1233%)	(4) Cinque Verde 80/1, Dual C&D winner who has thrived this year, gaining fifth victory since February (first on turf) at Lingfield (5f) in May. Latest run at Bath (5.7f) easily overlooked and no surprise to see her make a bold bid from the front. Five wins since February; had an excuse last time (struck into herself); mark looks high.
9th	1 9th (1) (100/1 -1329%) Bang On The Bell	100 100/1(-1329%)	(1) Bang On The Bell 100/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (18/1) at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago, weakening final 1f. In fine form when last seen on all-weather but career-high mark to defy on this occasion. Last two AW runs have yielded impressive wins; soared up the weights as a result.

Almaty Star prevailed by only a nose in a fight to the line with stable companion EMPEROR SPIRIT over course and distance last time. However, the latter may well take his revenge on this occasion off 1lb better terms. Cinque Verde won on turf in May and is as equally effective on this surface, while Rebel Path could also go well in an open event.

Having not been disgraced in a handful of starts since returning in April, multiple course winner SHALAA ASKER lines up here lurking on a very handy mark and, with cheekpieces refitted, it would come as no surprise to see him go well from a handy draw. The Thames Boatman, Emperor Spirit and Almaty Star are others to consider.

A trappy sprint in which the well-handicapped SHALAA ASKER can capitalise on this return to AW. Rebel Path is feared most.

13:45 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (10/3 -48%) Ten Ten Twenty	3.333333 10/3(-48%)	(4) Ten Ten Twenty 10/3, Winner on AW in April and ran creditably behind a progressive rival when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 18 days ago, running on. Fancied to make his presence felt with a 10 lb conditional taking over in the plate. Won on the Flat in April and ran well in defeat when back over hurdles last month; player.
2	3 2nd (3) (20/1 -1500%) Asa	20 20/1(-1500%)	(3) Asa 20/1, Had cheekpieces on and got off the mark not before time in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, good) 9 days ago, having too much in hand to allow the runner-up back in after committing arguably sooner than ideal. Up 8 lb for that win but capable of following up in her current form. Came good with clearcut success in first-time cheekpieces at Cartmel last week; respected.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 +13%) Agilulf	14 14/1(+13%)	(2) Agilulf 14/1, Still looking for first success and whilst he dispelled a poor run at Perth when finishing midfield over 2m at Hexham in May, he was labouring from 3 out upped in trip and found to have bled back at latter course (23.3f, good) a fortnight ago. Good third in April, after a layoff, but three lesser efforts have followed.
4	5 4th (5) (40/1 -300%) Princess Unique	40 40/1(-300%)	(5) Princess Unique 40/1, Poor in bumpers/over hurdles. Didn't get very far on handicap debut back from a break at Fontwell (19.1f, good) in May and off a further 2 months since. Could only consider if backed. Unseated rider at first flight on handicap debut but remains unexposed at this level.
5th	8 5th (8) (28/1 -100%) Ideal De Romay	28 28/1(-100%)	(8) Ideal De Romay 28/1, Successful at the third attempt in Irish points but has little form under Rules and was lit up in first-time blinkers back hurdling after only 8 days off at this track (23.1f, good) last month. Cheekpieces quickly reapplied and mark tumbles further. Not beaten far on handicap debut but pulled up twice since; too risky.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 -186%) Mackie Dee	20 20/1(-186%)	(7) Mackie Dee 20/1, Hurdles winner at Uttoxeter in June 2022 but you have to go back to 2020 for when this 12-y-o registered his sole success over fences. Shaped as if back in form and now reverts to the smaller obstacles from a much-reduced mark. Ran quite well over fences in blinkers here last month but this veteran is inconsistent.
7th	9 7th (9) (100/1 -400%) Bean Norty	100 100/1(-400%)	(9) Bean Norty 100/1, Little impact in 4 starts for Tom Lacey and little encouragement to glean from both starts for this yard (tongue tied on latest). Percentage call is to look elsewhere from just out of the weights. Yet to show any significant promise after six hurdling starts.
8th	6 8th (6) (100/1 -400%) Betty's Belle	100 100/1(-400%)	(6) Betty's Belle 100/1, Bumper winner who was runner-up twice in handicaps for Ben Pauling last summer. However, she has largely struggled since joining present yard and is now 0-16 over hurdles following a first flight fall at Uttoxeter recently. Well handicapped on some of last year's placed form but has regressed in the meantime.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (100/1 -300%) Montys Rock	100 100/1(-300%)	(1) Montys Rock 100/1, Reached the frame in maiden hurdles in Ireland for Eoin Doyle but went with no promise on his first outing since leaving Eoin Doyle after 13 months off on handicap debut at Southwell (15.8f, good) recently. Tongue strap back on but can only be watched. Pulled up when 50-1 for last month's stable/handicap debut; moves up from 2f today.

While a few of these arrive with something to prove, the same can't be said for ASA, a decisive winner over 2m6f at Cartmel last month. First-time cheekpieces (retained) were worn that day and should she progress further in them, a subsequent 8lb hike in the ratings might prove lenient. Ten Ten Twenty kept on into second over 2m at Worcester last time out and he is of interest upped in distance, while veteran 12-year-old Mackie Dee is no forlorn hope.

This could well develop into a match between ASA and Ten Ten Twenty, with preference for the former having belatedly opened her account in good style at Cartmel last week. Ten Ten Twenty found only a progressive rival too good at Worcester recently and David Jeffreys' 6-y-o may have to settle for silver again, with Ideal de Romay rounding off the shortlist from a basement mark in reapplied cheekpieces.

Preference is for TEN TEN TWENTY, who ran well in defeat behind a progressive rival last month.

13:45 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:50 Limerick Stakes 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (8/1 +0%) Orandi	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Orandi 8/1, Capitalised on his falling mark when winning at the Curragh in May. Found it tougher back up in the weights when fifth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft, 5/1) 55 days ago, but he can give his running again. Recent winner at the Curragh; these terms aren't easy but needs respecting.
6	6 (6) (11/2 +45%) Polar Bear	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(6) Polar Bear 11/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Not in the same form as previous outing when sixth of 13 in handicap at Listowel (6.3f, good, 5/1) 35 days ago. Needs to step up on what he's shown so far this season. Rain welcomed; bit disappointing last time at Listowel and peak efforts were last season.
9	9 (9) (22/1 -38%) Gustavus Weston	22 22/1(-38%)	(9) Gustavus Weston 22/1, In first-time eyeshields, step back in the right direction when fourth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Tipperary (5f, heavy) 40 days ago. Headgear needs to have the same effect this time around as he goes back up in trip. Regressive and these terms ask a bit of him in his current vein of form.
1	10 1st (10) (10/1 +0%) Linger For Longer	10 10/1(+0%)	(10) Linger For Longer 10/1, With headgear left off, bounced back to her best when winning 14-runner handicap (16/1) at Tipperary (7.1f, soft) 39 days ago. Task is now to be able to build on that effort. Recent Tipperary winner off 67; this race demands more from her.
2	7 2nd (7) (8/1 +33%) Imperial Dream	8 8/1(+33%)	(7) Imperial Dream 8/1, Followed a good run with a below-par one when sixth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Not long with current yard but he needs to get back on the up. Useful in Britain and penultimate effort brings him into this; may need goodish ground.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/2 +25%) Volatile Analyst	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(3) Volatile Analyst 9/2, With visor applied, hinted at a revival on first run since leaving Adrian McGuinness when fifth of 8 in handicap at Down Royal (7f, good, 11/4) 16 days ago. One to note with cheekpieces back on. Slow start ended all hope on stable debut at Down Royal (7f) and he was only 11-4.
4	11 4th (11) (13/2 +54%) Velvet Skies	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(11) Velvet Skies 13/2, Fair gelding. Run best excused when sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft, 7/1) 38 days ago, hampered 2f out. Still looks to have something to find in this contest. Rare poor run at Fairyhouse last time having been in good form from 5f to 7f.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/1 -67%) Salah Belle	10 10/1(-67%)	(5) Salah Belle 10/1, Doubled her tally with a comfortable success at the Curragh in June. Failed to repeat that effort when last of 7 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 9/4) 11 days ago, but it still remains early days for her. Won two of her first three and unlikely that she gave her true running last time.
6th	8 6th (8) (5/1 -43%) Blanc De Noir	5 5/1(-43%)	(8) Blanc De Noir 5/1, Shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Navan (5f, good, 5/2) 29 days ago. Return to this longer trip should suit and he looks a major player with cheekpieces reapplied. Running on over the minimum last time; consistent 4yo who shouldn't be far away.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 -60%) Genesis	16 16/1(-60%)	(4) Genesis 16/1, Off the mark at Dundalk in March. Upped in grade when 7½ lengths last of 5 to Mutasarref in listed race at Naas (7f, good to firm, 33/1) 49 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Barry Fitzgerald. Useful form over Dundalk's 6f before being outclassed in a 7f Listed race at Naas.
8th	2 8th (2) (9/2 +55%) Miss Black Jack	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(2) Miss Black Jack 9/2, Opened her account Dundalk in April. Again ran respectably when 4 lengths eighth of 11 to Zerostress in listed race at Dortmund (6f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago. Can make her presence felt back down in grade. Posted RPR of 90 on the AW in April and a big player if returning to that level.
9th	12 9th (12) (28/1 -180%) The Poacher Daly	28 28/1(-180%)	(12) The Poacher Daly 28/1, Hooded for 1st time, below form fifth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Dundalk (7f) in March, racing freely. Others more persuasive as he makes turf debut with tongue strap applied (has been gelded). Threatened once on the AW; gelded and now tongue-tied for turf debut.

Having caught the eye on a couple of occasions of late, BLANC DE NOIR can record a second career success. A consistent gelding since joining trainer Johnny Murtagh, the four-year-old has been plying his trade in a slightly higher grade of late. With Ben Coen returning to the saddle, the son of Showcasing holds leading claims. Recent Tipperary scorer Linger For Longer has been an infrequent visitor to the winners' enclosure but as a mare in form, she commands respect, while Imperial Dream has run well enough on three starts since joining Pat Flynn to suggest that he will get his turn in the coming weeks.

BLANC DE NOIR has been shaping up well for his current yard this year, coming from further back than the others who made the frame at Navan last time, so he could be ready to return to winning ways as he drops back in grade. Miss Black Jack has contested listed races on 2 of her last 3 starts and is respected, with Volatile Analyst also in the mix.

An open rated race with a few holding chances on these terms. BLANC DE NOIR has a bit to find at the weights but he's consistent.

14:00 Sligo Maiden Hurdle 17f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (5/1 -67%) Torquay Road	5 5/1(-67%)	(4) Torquay Road 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in bumper at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 11/1) 55 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving Peter John Flood. Place chance on the form of Ballinrobe sixth on the second of three bumper runs, new yard.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/2 -11%) Bobbi Gin Tree	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(6) Bobbi Gin Tree 5/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 7/1, sixth of 13 in maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) 22 days ago. Obvious claims. Fair fifth at Thurles last November, should be better for her recent run at Downpatrick.
3	1 3rd (1) (17/2 -113%) Aine's Lad	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(1) Aine's Lad 17/2, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 5/1, fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) on hurdles bow 21 days ago, faring best of those held up. Has shown some promise in bumpers and on hurdling debut at Downpatrick, could feature.
4	5 4th (5) (7/2 +50%) Upthereforthinking	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(5) Upthereforthinking 7/2, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20.4f, good) 36 days ago. Trainer going well. Well below his best in two runs this year, reasonable prospects if restored to best form.
5th	9 5th (9) (20/1 +39%) Thunder Rose	20 20/1(+39%)	(9) Thunder Rose 20/1, 50/1, sixth of 9 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Has been unable to build on her well-beaten fifth at Gowran last November.
6th	2 6th (2) (80/1 -60%) Kilbride Hill	80 80/1(-60%)	(2) Kilbride Hill 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.6f, heavy) 168 days ago. Three-figure odds on all four starts, others are better treated by the race conditions.
7th	8 7th (8) (16/1 -113%) Pallas Athene	16 16/1(-113%)	(8) Pallas Athene 16/1, Remains a maiden after 9 hurdle runs. 33/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Frustrating sort, beaten favourite four times, another poor run at Cork on Friday.
8th	7 8th (7) (6/1 -33%) Kimjoy	6 6/1(-33%)	(7) Kimjoy 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, unseated rider in novice hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Every chance when falling 2 out at Bellewstown prior to that. Merits consideration. Running well up the point of her fall at Bellewstown, unseated four out at Perth, risky.
9th	10 9th (10) (33/1 +50%) You Make Me Smile	33 33/1(+50%)	(10) You Make Me Smile 33/1, Poor maiden on the Flat and over hurdles. Weak hurdles form, soundly beaten in two Flat handicap runs in May, up against it.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (150/1 -200%) Texas King	150 150/1(-200%)	(3) Texas King 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Nothing in his three outings in recent months to suggest he can play a leading part.

TORQUAY ROAD showed potential in bumpers and may be able to take this on hurdling and stable debut. His best effort in three starts for Peter Flood was when sixth in a useful contest at Ballinrobe and he may have made his move too soon at Killarney last time. The bar is not set high for his first foray over hurdles. Bobbi Gin Tree had a nice run when fifth in a decent maiden at Thurles in November and might have needed his first run since at Downpatrick last month. He should be sharper here and can contend. Upthereforthinking is hard to fancy on recent form but a repeat of his Navan handicap run before Christmas would see him involved.

Henry de Bromhead's BOBBI GIN TREE has shown a fair level of ability and might prove up to the task in what isn't a strong maiden. Kimjoy has failed to complete the last twice but did hold every chance when coming down 2 out at Bellewstown on her penultimate outing and is second choice ahead of Aine's Lad.

Not much worthwhile hurdles form on view here. TORQUAY ROAD has shown just enough to suggest he could score on hurdling debut.

1	5 1st (5) (40/1 -186%) Cardano	40 40/1(-186%)	(5) Cardano 40/1, Ran better than on his return while possibly still needing the run when sixth of 18 in handicap (50/1) at York (11.8f, soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Has dropped back to his last winning mark so worth a second look back up in distance. Back to his last winning mark but he's struggled since that Epsom win last September.
2	6 2nd (6) (14/1 -40%) Isle Of Sark	14 14/1(-40%)	(6) Isle Of Sark 14/1, Hasn't won since his debut. 9/2, ran a rather odd race under a change of tactics when 8¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Raintown in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 27 days ago, staying on late. Folly to discount. Beaten 22 times since his winning debut; running well but likely to find a few stronger.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 -43%) Eyetrap	10 10/1(-43%)	(7) Eyetrap 10/1, 9/2, looked at least as good as ever when winning 7-runner handicap at Chester (12.3f, heavy) just over 3 weeks ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Nudged up 4 lb for that success and every chance he will be in the shake-up returned to all-weather. Comes here on the back of a heavy-ground Chester win; unexposed over this sort of trip.
4	12 4th (12) (3/1 +25%) Road To Wembley	3 3/1(+25%)	(12) Road To Wembley 3/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year, latest at Lingfield in April. 4/6, third of 5 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 3 months ago, possibly finding race coming too soon. Still looks well treated returning from 3 months off the track. Unexposed 3yo who was on the up in the spring; still of interest despite ascending mark.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 -25%) Dream Harder	10 10/1(-25%)	(2) Dream Harder 10/1, Ran respectably back up in trip when sixth of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Epsom (12f, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago. Merits consideration now just 1 lb above his last winning mark. Up in trip and needs improvement for it if he's to get off the mark for the season.
6th	10 6th (10) (100/1 -2122%) Inner Peace	100 100/1(-2122%)	(10) Inner Peace 100/1, 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, showed something like his debut form at the second attempt when third of 12 in minor event at Doncaster (11.9f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut and has to be respected given connections. Unexposed handicap debutant from a major yard; improvement required but it's possible.
7th	9 7th (9) (100/1 -900%) Raintown	100 100/1(-900%)	(9) Raintown 100/1, Latest win at Lingfield in June. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good to firm, 11/1) 12 days ago. Looks as though he's more effective on the all-weather, so not taken lightly. Happiest on AW and penultimate Lingfield win was comprehensive; stamina not assured.
8th	11 8th (11) (80/1 -220%) Peace Walk	80 80/1(-220%)	(11) Peace Walk 80/1, Has disappointed in a couple of handicaps this year, last of 8 at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) just over 5 weeks ago. Makes polytrack debut. Visored for 1st time. Has plenty to prove at present. Promising 2yo; not beaten a rival in either handicap run this year; now tries headgear.
9th	4 9th (4) (100/1 -614%) Prince Maxi	100 100/1(-614%)	(4) Prince Maxi 100/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in February. 10/1 and gelded, ran poorly when ninth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Unexposed 4yo but below par last time and now tackles a 3f longer trip.
10th	3 10th (3) (50/1 -52%) Alright Sunshine	50 50/1(-52%)	(3) Alright Sunshine 50/1, Thoroughly unreliable type who has refused to race. Ran better than for a while from a tumbling mark though still didn't look to be putting it all in under pressure when fourth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, good to firm, 40/1) 4 weeks ago and is easily avoided for win purposes. On a good mark but has refused to race and comes with too much risk attached.
11th	1 11th (1) (100/1 -2122%) Cannon Rock	100 100/1(-2122%)	(1) Cannon Rock 100/1, Made a winning return for his new yard (sold for 16,000 gns) after 17 months off at Southwell in March. 10/3, ran well back on all-weather when second of 6 in handicap at Kempton (12f) just under 7 weeks ago, needing stiffer test. Fancied to go well again. Made winning stable debut after long absence in March; good 2nd latest; still low mileage.
12th	8 12th (8) (80/1 -1043%) Damascus Steel	80 80/1(-1043%)	(8) Damascus Steel 80/1, Latest win at Kempton in May. Ran up to best when second of 8 in handicap at same course (16f, 9/2) 25 days ago, leading briefly inside final 1f. Back down in trip but holds solid each-way claims. 1m4f win (for this rider) in May; good placed efforts since; should be in the thick of it.

Charlie Appleby's yard have been in fine form of late and INNER PEACE will likely prove a popular choice. There looks to be plenty more to come from the son of Dubawi as he steps up in trip for his handicap debut, and he's preferred to Kempton runner-up Cannon Rock. Damascus Steel will likely be thereabouts once again, but it was heavy ground when Eyetrap won at Chester last month and he's been raised 4lb for that success.

An open-looking staying contest in which the suggestion is ROAD TO WEMBLEY, who probably found a third run within a fortnight too much when last seen in April but still looks well treated returning from a 3-month break. He can get the better of Dream Harder, who lurks just 1 lb above his last winning mark, while Cannon Rock and handicap-debutant Inner Peace are another couple worth considering, too.

Damascus Steel should go well again but the progressive 3yo ROAD TO WEMBLEY can improve again for another step up in trip.

1	3 1st (3) (5/2 -25%) Bullion Boss	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(3) Bullion Boss 5/2, Sole success came over 3m at Musselburgh in January 2021 and having offered little in 3 starts since returning from a lengthy absence, he produced comfortably his best effort for a while equipped with a visor when second over 23f here 16 days ago. Claims with a repeat. On the downgrade now but went close in new headgear here (2m7f) last month.
2	4 2nd (4) (6/1 -33%) Lenebane	6 6/1(-33%)	(4) Lenebane 6/1, Maiden hurdler who ran her best race for some time in a refitted visor when runner-up over C&D 16 days ago, staying on without troubling the winner. Handicapper has afforded her a chance but she wouldn't be sure to be in same form here. Finished well from poor position fo second over C&D last month but others appeal more.
3	5 3rd (5) (80/1 -967%) Fox's Socks	80 80/1(-967%)	(5) Fox's Socks 80/1, Recorded a creditable third place finish at Huntingdon in April and dispelled a pair of lesser efforts when fifth of 10 in a C&D handicap in June, outpaced after 2 out before keeping on again run-in. Comes here operating from a basement mark and not discounted for all he's not scored since 2021. Not beaten far when fifth over C&D last month but is not one to rely upon.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 -170%) Kopa Kilana	9 9/1(-170%)	(1) Kopa Kilana 9/1, Bumper winner who has yet to get his head in front over hurdles but he has gone close to bucking that trend in recent weeks, finding one too good on each of his last 2 starts at Hexham (16.2f). Likely he'll be thereabouts again back up in trip. 0-15 over hurdles but returned from layoff with two good Hexham seconds this season.
5th	6 5th (6) (20/1 -186%) Hope Hill	20 20/1(-186%)	(6) Hope Hill 20/1, Well beaten in bumpers/novice hurdles but did at least show more making handicap debut when 10 lengths fifth of 9 in a C&D handicap 16 days ago. Has fewer miles on the clock than most here and he may be up to building on that. Weakened into fifth over C&D on last month's handicap debut but may still have potential.
6th	2 6th (2) (100/1 -525%) Western Glen	100 100/1(-525%)	(2) Western Glen 100/1, Limited impact so far and having offered more encouraging signs when fourth in a C&D handicap in May, she's been most disappointing both starts since. Return to this venue needs to have a positive effect now. 0-8 over hurdles; fair fourth over C&D in May but two heavy defeats have followed.
7th	7 7th (7) (100/1 -1150%) High Yield	100 100/1(-1150%)	(7) High Yield 100/1, Ran with credit in a couple of starts here last summer and shaped as if he'd come on for his first start for 8 months when seventh of 13 in handicap back here (16.6f) 4 weeks ago. No forlorn hope with that run under his belt stepping back up in trip following wind surgery. 0-9 over hurdles but ran okay last month, after a break, and should be on a workable mark.
8th	9 8th (9) (100/1 -100%) Mawlood	100 100/1(-100%)	(9) Mawlood 100/1, t's now 19 runs since his last win in 2021 and he was again well held when last of 11 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f) 5 days ago. Can only be watched with blinkers now enlisted for the 1st time. Has struggled to get competitive off lowly marks this season; headgear switched today.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (11/1 +45%) Misscarlett	11 11/1(+45%)	(8) Misscarlett 11/1, Losing run stretches back to 2021 and she ran some way below her best with a spin on the Flat under her belt when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Safely held at Hexham in May and remains without a win since 2021.

Given that Bullion Boss kept on well over 2m7f here last month, a drop in trip might not be ideal, but he must be respected in what looks a moderate affair. Preference, however, is for LENEBANE, who bounced back to form when filling the runner-up spot over C&D last month. A similar performance could see the mare strike at the 16th time of asking. Kopa Kilana is also noted.

BULLION BOSS produced easily his best performance since returning from his lengthy absence when runner-up over 23f here 16 days ago and, in the hope the headgear has the desired effect once more, he gets a tentative vote to end a losing run. Kopa Kilana steps back up in trip following a pair of good placed efforts and is feared, with low-mileage Hope Hill possibly capable of better still for Sue Smith.

Still well handicapped after going close in new headgear here last month, BULLION BOSS gets the vote.

Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful North American winner around 1m Turf King and 7f winner Doux Esprit. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner and placed in several group/graded events) out of unraced daughter of Coronation Stakes/Prix Marcel Boussac winner Gold Splash. Is by a top sire and comes from a classy damline, so is of strong interest on debut.
4	4 (4) (25/1 +0%) Daniels Dream	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Daniels Dream 25/1, €10,000 yearling, Estidhkaar gelding. Closely related to winner abroad by Gutaifan and half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Irish Cat and in France. Dam 1m winner.

Likely type. Cost 300,000gns as a yearling; classy pedigree; respected, more so if strong in the market.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/6 +72%) Vadali	0.833333 5/6(+72%)	(7) Vadali 5/6, Promising type. Third of 14 in maiden at Gowran (8f, good, 12/1) 20 days ago. Should progress again. Third in a maiden over this trip at Gowran last time; needs to find more but be involved.

Dam, useful French/US 1m-1¼m winner, closely related to useful winner up to 1m Cloudy Dawn. Cost 18,000gns as a foal but only 11,000gns as a 2yo; best watched unless market strength.
4	11 4th (11) (8/1 +0%) Mapa	8 8/1(+0%)	(11) Mapa 8/1, Lightly-raced filly. 50/1, very good fourth of 13 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago, taking time to get going. Should improve. Best of four maiden runs came when fourth over C&D last time; has a bit to find to score.
5th	5 5th (5) (150/1 -355%) Point Duty	150 150/1(-355%)	(5) Point Duty 150/1, Once-raced gelding. Tongue strap on, tenth of 14 in maiden (80/1) at Naas (5.9f, good) on debut 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Beaten 13l in a 6f Naas maiden; this longer trip will suit but difficult to see scoring.
6th	9 6th (9) (6/1 +0%) Cathedral Peak	6 6/1(+0%)	(9) Cathedral Peak 6/1, Promising sort. 7/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, soft) on debut 42 days ago, very slowly away. Open to improvement. Should have improved from 1m2f debut and interesting that she is dropped in trip.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 -50%) Aratayvo	9 9/1(-50%)	(2) Aratayvo 9/1, Lightly-raced colt. 6/1, twelfth of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good) 51 days ago. Stable having good spell. One to bear in mind on pick of form. One good run last year but well below that twice since and needs a return to his best.
8th	8 8th (8) (250/1 -150%) Ali's Court	250 250/1(-150%)	(8) Ali's Court 250/1, Twice-raced filly. Twelfth of 15 in maiden (200/1) at this course (7f, good) 15 days ago, very slowly away. Soundly beaten in two maidens recently, including over 7f here; best wait for handicaps.
9th	1 9th (1) (66/1 -100%) No Smoke	66 66/1(-100%)	(1) No Smoke 66/1, Second Thought gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 1m winner Epica and 2-y-o 6f winner Terror Spirit. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful 6f-1m winner Film Maker. Not a bad pedigree but late-starter is best watched for future reference.

Trainers Michael Halford and Tracey Collins can continue their fine recent spell with VADALI. Fourth behind a subsequent winner at Gowran Park in May, the Aga Khan-owned colt returned to that same track to finish third last time. Slowly away on that latter occasion, the son of Churchill kept on strongly from over a furlong out. The Dermot Weld-trained Aratayvo sets the standard with an official rating of 81. However, having disappointed on his final start as a juvenile, there was little encouragement to be taken from his three-year-old's return in May. Final Curtain is an interesting debutant from the Johnny Murtagh yard. It would be no surprise to see the daughter of Lope De Vega play a part in the finish.

VADALI took another step forward when third at Gowran and looks the one to beat. Well-bred newcomer Bomberg is a likely threat for Aidan O'Brien, while Cathedral Peak offered plenty to work on at the Curragh.

It could be worth taking a chance on the well bred Ballydoyle newcomer BOMBERG making a winning debut.

Nudged up only 2 lb so possibilities again. Prevailed narrowly here two weeks ago; can remain competitive back up just 2lb.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/1 -67%) Woobay	10 10/1(-67%)	(4) Woobay 10/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Catterick (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Has good chance on pick of form. Form under Pippa Brown includes a close second in this race last year; shortlisted.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/2 -5%) Huddle Up	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(3) Huddle Up 7/2, Unreliable individual. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm, 3/1) 31 days ago. Capable of playing a part from this sort of mark if he can put it all together. Went close under Alice Keighley at Carlisle in May; respected on that effort.

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 32 days ago, not ideally placed. Looks competitive on form. Veteran; ran encouragingly last time but it's three years since last turf win.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 +27%) Rory	4 4/1(+27%)	(5) Rory 4/1, Quirky sort who ran well when runner-up in pair of starts at up to 7f here and shaped as if still in good form when seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 11/2) 9 days ago, finishing with running left. Another capable of going close if things drop right. Placed at Ayr in both turf attempts this term; ties in with Pop Star.
6th	1 6th (1) (28/1 -300%) Count D'orsay	28 28/1(-300%)	(1) Count D'orsay 28/1, Losing run is mounting up but he ran best race of the season when second at Hamilton (5f) on his penultimate start. Latest Chester run easily overlooked (trapped wide) and bounce back likely dropped back down in class. On a 17-race losing sequence but has possibilities off current mark.
7th	8 7th (8) (100/1 -203%) Henery Hawk	100 100/1(-203%)	(8) Henery Hawk 100/1, 8½ lengths eighth of 9 to Pop Star in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm, 66/1) 15 days ago. Needs to show more before becoming of interest. Four-time AW scorer; 0-14 on turf; not the percentage call.
8th	6 8th (6) (28/1 -75%) Borough	28 28/1(-75%)	(6) Borough 28/1, Registered pair of 5f victories last summer. However, he failed to beat a rival in pair of starts in June since returning from 9 months off. Big doubt over current form, having finished last in both runs this term.

This can go the way of RORY, who was unlucky when not getting the clearest of runs inside the final furlong when looking to challenge over this distance at Newcastle recently. Jim Goldie's charge is taken to overturn form with Pop Star (first) from their meeting here the time before, with the six-year-old 2lb better off for finishing half-a-length behind in third. Huddle Up and Woobay are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

A tricky amateur riders' handicap to assess with the narrow vote in favour of RORY. He's been shaping as though ready to strike in recent weeks, and having not been seen to best effect at Newcastle on his latest outing, he could well provide his stable with a third consecutive success in this race. Huddle Up, Count d'Orsay and recent C&D winner Pop Star are others to consider.

A chance is taken on HUDDLE UP with Alice Keighley back on board. Second choice is Woobay.

INSTANT TENDANCE had a simple task at Kilbeggan last month and her mark has been left alone. Gordon Elliott's charge, a maiden winner at Navan in March, was a creditable fourth on her most recent handicap start at Bellewstown the following month and Kevin Sexton now knows her after being on board for her latest outing. She has a fair chunk of weight to shoulder but should take a bit of beating. Red Ball Of Fire is a regular at her local track and landed this contest off the same mark a year ago. She didn't land a blow over fences last time but her previous couple of runs on the Flat here were respectable. Flidais has been running consistently since the spring and is likely to be thereabouts again.

INSTANT TENDANCE is a reliable sort who might be up to notching another win back in handicap company. Red Balls of Fire has dipped to the same mark as when winning this last year and is feared most ahead of last-time-out Tramore scorer Jumping Susie.

An open race but INSTANT TENDANCE could be hard to beat having been left off on the same mark after an unchallenged Kilbeggan win

REMOJI took a step forward to land a maiden at Beverley a month ago. She still showed signs of inexperience on that occasion, but the runner-up has subsequently boosted that form by winning, and Roger Varian's filly can defy a penalty with further progress likely. Gaiety Musical will appreciate the return to this level having faced a tough task in Listed company at Carlisle, while Dazitoo showed promise at Haydock on her debut and can also figure.

REMOJI confirmed debut promise when scoring with a bit in hand at Beverley and can defy a penalty with the prospect of more to come. Gaiety Musical wasn't disgraced in a listed event at Carlisle and is the obvious threat back down in class, while Dazitoo offered something to work on at Haydock.

With further progress a clear possibility, REMOJI is taken to follow up her Beverley win. Questionable is second choice.

Point-to-point winner O'GRADY'S HILL was sent off favourite for a bumper at Uttoxeter on her Rules debut last month, finishing second, and she is taken to progress for the switch to obstacles. Hamartia sets the standard with an official rating of 101 and she is unlikely to be far away, while others to note include Beau Della and the Fergal O'Brien-trained Gentle Life.

Fergal O'Brien's GENTLE LIFE shaped well after a long absence when runner-up on her hurdling bow here and can build on it and go one better now. Hamartia also has the form to play a part and is next on the list ahead of Bangor-second Beau Della and hurdling-newcomer O'Grady's Hill.

Hamartia just about has the least to prove but preference is for GENTLE LIFE who has lower mileage on the clock.

Irish Oaks entrant FLIGHT OF FANCY sets a strong standard off a mark of 94. Runner-up in a well contested fillies handicap at the Curragh on her penultimate start, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly had earlier run in a Group 3 race. Although failing to fire at Royal Ascot last month, this represents a major ease in class. Thequietman made a promising racecourse debut when staying on to fill the runner-up position at Leopardstown back in April. The form of that race has been advertised in subsequent months by a few of those that finished behind him. Monasterboice, who was second here in a similar contest last month, has to hold claims under Colin Keane. His experience should also stand to him at this stage of the season.

FLIGHT OF FANCY was well beaten at Royal Ascot but sets the bar pretty high back in a maiden and is preferred to Joseph O'Brien's Leopardstown runner-up Thequietman. Last week's Curragh second Tango Five may prove best of the remainder.

Forgiven a poor run at Royal Ascot last time, FLIGHT OF FANCY is the clear form pick on her best runs and isn't easy to oppose.

STRATUSNINE couldn't get the job done when a short-priced favourite at Salisbury last month, but he still ran with plenty of credit in defeat and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. Not beaten far when travelling well over 7f at Haydock, Intrusively should appreciate the drop back in trip, while Helaali looks to be the pick of the newcomers for the in-form Alice Haynes stable.

STRATUSNINE has found just one too good on both starts in big-field novices so far and, with further improvement on the cards, Hugo Palmer's colt is fancied to make it third time lucky at the expense of Intrusively, who should also have plenty more to offer for his in-form yard. Ann Terry makes most appeal of the newcomers so she completes the shortlist.

Having been a close second on both starts, STRATUSNINE is taken to get off the mark. Debutant Helaali could be the chief threat.

FULL NOISE bumped into an improver in Aodhan May when last seen at Navan in February and may be able to strike off this mark now. The Carlotamix gelding was well backed then but was no match for his rival in the closing stages and that form looks strong with Aodhan May going on to win three times since. Win Some Lose Some came good in a weak maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan in mid-May and is still unexposed. He looks a danger on his handicap debut off a mark of 105. Ankud had a couple of decent runs in winter maiden hurdles and is another to note on his handicap debut.

WIN SOME LOSE SOME got up in remarkable fashion to open his account at the third attempt at Kilbeggan and should have more to offer still now handicapping. Full Noise and Herculaneum look best of the others.

The form of the race in which FULL NOISE was second at Navan in February has been well advertised by the winner Aodhan May.

PINAFORE travelled with more ease on her first attempt over 7f when runner-up at Musselburgh last month. William Haggas' filly could have more to offer over this distance and a first Listed triumph may be on the horizon. Stenton Glider was behind the selection in fourth on that occasion and her overall profile suggests that she should be in the mix once more. The progressive Cloud Cover also warrants a second look.

CLOUD COVER took her record on all-weather to 5 wins from 9 starts when scoring at Newcastle in March, value for extra having been delivered late, so she can continue her progress to add to her tally upped to listed level. Pinafore remains unexposed at this distance and could be the main danger, ahead of Julia Augusta.

Julia Augusta and Pinafore are high on the list but CLOUD COVER was impressive at Newcastle on Good Friday and can win again.

4	5 4th (5) (33/1 -32%) Bannister	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Bannister 33/1, Multiple winner for Tom George but too keen after 11 months off when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) 73 days ago. Something to prove at present. Four-time winner; raced freely and ended up tailed off on April's return from an absence.
5th	7 5th (7) (100/1 -7146%) River Robe	100 100/1(-7146%)	(7) River Robe 100/1, Rewarded strong support when making winning debut for new yard in 10-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good to firm, 11/10) 16 days ago. 11 lb higher now but a bold follow-up bid seems assured. Cruised home here recently on stable debut; up 11lb but could be a sharp improver.
6th	6 6th (6) (100/1 -1150%) Ambassador	100 100/1(-1150%)	(6) Ambassador 100/1, Added to his fine Uttoxeter record when scoring for third time there in May and arrives on back of creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at same course (15.8f, good) 31 days ago. Blinkers on first time. Not out of things. Has a change of headgear but solid chance on his recent visored form at Uttoxeter.

However, has been cut some slack by the handicapper and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye. Has shown he can be competitive over hurdles and Sean Bowen taking over is no bad thing.

Easy enough to look elsewhere. Two hurdle wins in 2021 but well below that level this year following a lengthy break.
9th	9 9th (9) (100/1 -614%) Mister Moodles	100 100/1(-614%)	(9) Mister Moodles 100/1, Winner of a Doncaster novice in December and stepped up on previous handicap outing when fifth of 10 at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Others look better treated, though. Cheekpieces on first time. Has to find something on his efforts in handicaps and this looks stronger than last time.

Switches to hurdling, back from 10-month absence, and is worth monitoring in market. Career-low mark and was running respectably over fences when last seen late last summer.
11th	4 11th (4) (150/1 -200%) Logan Rocks	150 150/1(-200%)	(4) Logan Rocks 150/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Amy Murphy during 2019/20 season but offered little either start since returning from 4-year absence. Recently returned from a mammoth absence and has shown pretty much nothing.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (80/1 -100%) Very Excellent	80 80/1(-100%)	(8) Very Excellent 80/1, Posted respectable effort on Flat last month but performed poorly the last twice in this discipline and makes limited appeal. Competitive mark and his recent Flat effort when close up at Ripon (1m2f) bodes well.

Having scored comfortably over 2m at Uttoxeter last month, Baskerville brings plenty of potential into handicaps and he merits serious consideration on his first start in this sphere. That said, preference is for RIVER ROBE. Dan Skelton's charge was last seen running out a ready winner of a C&D handicap on her stable debut and, for a yard which tends to excel with these types, the suspicion is that an 11lb hike may not be enough to anchor her. Noble Anthem has an interesting profile and completes the shortlist.

RIVER ROBE won with plenty in hand on her debut for Dan Skelton last month and can go in again. Noble Anthem and GMS Prince may give her most to think about.

Dan Skelton's RIVER ROBE looked way ahead of her mark here two weeks ago and an 11lb hit could be manageable.

Tongue strap on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. No wins in seven but hasn't been disgraced in 7f-1m handicaps and gelded since last seen.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (8f, good, 5/1) 3 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Stable in good form but others preferred racing over 1m again. Lacked the gears to land a blow over 1m the other day; previous run was over 1m1f.

Latest win at Dundalk in February. 12/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Yet to prove himself effective on turf. Dual AW winner; down the field at Gowran latest and has questions to answer on the grass.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/4 +0%) Saffredi	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(4) Saffredi 11/4, Respectable third of 12 in handicap (3/1) at Bellewstown (8f, good) 3 days ago, conceding first run. Yard having good spell.

Significantly back down in trip. Open to improvement now handicapping. Found it a struggle in maidens from 1m to 1m5f, beaten 14l+; handicap debutante.
10th	12 10th (12) (12/1 +0%) Star Sailor	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) Star Sailor 12/1, Second at Down Royal (7f, good) in May and ran to similar level when seventh of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good, 22/1) 21 days ago. Perhaps still not the easiest ride but holds place claims. 0-6; not ideal being 3lb wrong and Alan Persse has been claiming.
11th	11 11th (11) (40/1 -21%) Dreamline Amelia	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Dreamline Amelia 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good, 40/1) 13 days ago. Yet to offer anything. 40-1 for handicap debut at Ballinrobe (1m1f, good) and ran accordingly; enough to prove.
12th	7 12th (7) (10/1 -25%) Poppadom	10 10/1(-25%)	(7) Poppadom 10/1, Creditable second here in May but below form sixth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Down Royal (7f, good) 37 days ago. Place claims if able to bounce back. 11-race maiden but did go close in a 7f handicap here in May so hard to entirely dismiss.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

With the form of his recent second over course and distance having been really well advertised by the winner, POPPADOM has to hold strong claims. The Andrew Slattery trained gelding pulled well clear of the remainder with a horse that has gone on to win his next two starts. As a son of a Cape Cross mare, stepping up to a mile for the first time in his career should also be a major positive. Newfire proved a bitter disappointment when well supported at Gowran Park last time but the Ray Cody-trained filly didn't enjoy the clearest of passages. She is better judged on her previous fourth placed effort at Sligo. Saffredi, who finished third at Bellewstown in mid-week, should be involved once again.

SAFFREDI has been knocking on the door of late and Gavin Cromwell's gelding can gain reward for several solid efforts. Dolce Far Niente wasn't at her best behind the selection at Bellewstown earlier in the week but remains of interest on the form her Ballinrobe second, with Gordon Elliott's Lightning Legs appealing as the type to improve now handicapping.

Gavin Cromwell's SAFFREDI is earning his keep with this his third start of the week and he has run well in all of them.

None can match the recent consistency of COCONUT BAY entering this contest, and he may have travelled too strongly for his own good when third over 7f here last month. Going back up to a mile should help him settle, and the five-year-old gets the vote ahead of Big Blue Boy (fifth), who has half-a-length to find from that contest, as well as Haalim, who has strong claims on his penultimate second at Wolverhampton.

COCONUT BAY did well under the circumstances returned to turf when third in a similar event here 2 weeks ago and should go well again. Big Blue Boy and Amazing Winnie are others to consider.

AW winner COCONUT BAY was a good third here a fortnight ago and is taken to break her duck on turf. Big Blue Boy is feared most.

FALCON PARK is interesting here on his first outing for Emmet Mullins. The Arcadio gelding ran well when last seen at Clonmel in April, finishing fourth to Tingarran Express, and if Mullins can extract any improvement he should be able to win a race off the basement mark. Steps In The Sand has been knocking on the door and is an obvious contender. He only went down by three-parts-of-a-length at Roscommon last time and is just 2lb higher. Barbaha Queen has been in good form over fences and is another for the shortlist on her return to the smaller obstacles.

STEPS IN THE SAND arrives in fine form and looks worth a crack at this longer trip. She gets the nod. Barbaha Queen and Hollow Spark head the list of dangers.

The one with by far the most solid recent form is STEPS IN THE SAND and this step back up in trip shouldn't be an issue

4	8 4th (8) (20/1 -43%) Bizarre Law	20 20/1(-43%)	(8) Bizarre Law 20/1, Shaped as if better for run after 9-month break when sixth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Sandown (10f, good) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. On a two-year losing spell but is competitively handicapped.
5th	9 5th (9) (100/1 -733%) Chilled Out	100 100/1(-733%)	(9) Chilled Out 100/1, Won first 2 starts for current yard at Yarmouth and Ripon but came up short in his hat-trick bid when fifth of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Bounce back required. 2-3 for new yard but has something to prove in this better grade back on AW.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 +0%) No Surrender	20 20/1(+0%)	(7) No Surrender 20/1, Step back in the right direction in first-time blinkers when seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 27 days ago, travelling well before failing to see race out. Interesting dropped back to a shorter trip. Had possible trip/ground excuses since handicapping; may do better.
7th	2 7th (2) (25/1 -614%) Rowayeh	25 25/1(-614%)	(2) Rowayeh 25/1, Did well to get so close after meeting trouble in running when fourth of 24 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, firm) 18 days ago. Leading player stepped back up in trip Ran well in Royal Ascot handicap last time; respected back in calmer waters.
8th	6 8th (6) (40/1 -186%) Forca Timao	40 40/1(-186%)	(6) Forca Timao 40/1, Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 18/1) 8 days ago. Should strip fitter for that comeback run and he's not completely discounted. Turf winner; 0-6 since switched to AW but is well treated on peak effort.
9th	4 9th (4) (40/1 -1233%) Hosanna Power	40 40/1(-1233%)	(4) Hosanna Power 40/1, Made a winning handicap debut at Newbury in May and went through the race as if still on a handy mark when third of 8 (6/4) at Chester (10.3f, soft) 22 days ago. Should be in the mix. May still have more to offer, being a lightly raced 4yo from the Stoute yard.

Having endured a rough passage when finishing in fourth in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot last month, compensation could be headed in ROWAYEH's direction. The four-year-old has plenty in her favour in these calmer waters and a third career victory looks likely. The biggest threat may emerge from Hosanna Power, who arrives on the back of a third at Chester, while quadruple C&D winner Wadacre Gomez also warrants respect.

ROWAYEH shaped particularly well at Royal Ascot, overcoming a troubled passage to reach the frame, and tops the shortlist having another try beyond 1m. Hosanna Power is lightly raced in handicaps and shaped well until testing conditions seemed to tell at Chester last time, so rates the main danger, with Zealot lurking on a fair mark if able to build further on a more encouraging C&D effort last time.

Back up in distance and down in class, ROWAYEH looks particularly interesting. Mighty Nebula is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (6/1 -118%) Clean Getaway	6 6/1(-118%)	(6) Clean Getaway 6/1, Long-standing maiden over hurdles but much improved when making a winning start to his chase career over 17f at Market Rasen. Respectable third at Stratford later that month and remains unexposed in this sphere. Readily beat Don Occhetti here on chase debut; ran respectably at Stratford since.
2	2 2nd (2) (12/1 -20%) Tessy Lad	12 12/1(-20%)	(2) Tessy Lad 12/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Richard Hughes in 2022/23. Has essentially disappointed so far for this yard and not an obvious chasing type. Step in right direction on latest hurdles start; well treated based on Flat form.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/1 -300%) Don Occhetti	9 9/1(-300%)	(1) Don Occhetti 9/1, Little solid form in handful of hurdle starts but made much more of an impact sent chasing and fitted with headgear when 13 lengths second of 8 to Clean Getaway over C&D last month. 12 lb better off with that rival here so needs considering. Clear signs of improvement in C&D event last month on chase debut; respected.
4	4 4th (4) (15/2 -15%) Gallow Ford	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(4) Gallow Ford 15/2, Seen only sparingly since winning over hurdles at Exeter in April 2021 and shaped as if amiss after 6 months off (breathing operation in interim) at Worcester 11 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time/tongue strap back on. Good chance if taking well to first-time blinkers and drop in trip; on a very handy mark.
5th	5 5th (5) (100/1 -400%) Lone Soldier	100 100/1(-400%)	(5) Lone Soldier 100/1, Free-going sort produced his best effort over hurdles when third in the mud at Wetherby (2m) in March. No show on chase debut subsequently, though (let go cheaply by Dan Skelton after), and well held back over timber on debut for this yard. Maiden; pulled up in both runs this term; best watched.
6th	9 6th (9) (80/1 -900%) Invincible Wish	80 80/1(-900%)	(9) Invincible Wish 80/1, Veteran who is a long-standing maiden over jumps but made first impact for a while when runner-up at Stratford last month. Far from sure to be in same form here, though. Respectable second last time but remains a maiden over jumps.
7th	3 7th (3) (40/1 -789%) Honneur De Sivola	40 40/1(-789%)	(3) Honneur De Sivola 40/1, Point winner who has finished second 4 times over fences. Shaped as if better for the run both starts in recent months so not taken lightly off a career-low mark. The return to chasing and booking of Sean Bowen are positives; interesting.
8th	10 8th (10) (100/1 -203%) Beannaigh Do	100 100/1(-203%)	(10) Beannaigh Do 100/1, Has gone the wrong way since chase debut and others preferred. 3 lb out of weights. Still a maiden and holds weak claims on overall form.
9th	7 9th (7) (100/1 -525%) Miss Fedora	100 100/1(-525%)	(7) Miss Fedora 100/1, Opened her account over hurdles Fontwell in November mostly disappointing since, including over fences this season. Regressive results switched to chasing this season.
10th	8 10th (8) (100/1 -300%) Let It Shine	100 100/1(-300%)	(8) Let It Shine 100/1, Made the frame a few times after venturing down the handicap route last year. Well backed but ran poorly starting out for this yard at Warwick on return and fared no better fitted with headgear on chase bow at Worcester. Well beaten in both outings for new yard this term.

Clean Getaway (first) got the better of DON OCCHETTI (second) when the pair met over this track and trip last month but, with the latter much better off at the weights here, it would be no surprise if Dan Skelton's charge was able to reverse the form. Gallow Ford was the subject of market support when disappointing over 2m7f at Worcester latest, but his mark continues to fall and, sporting first-time blinkers on his second start after wind surgery, he cannot be overlooked.

HONNEUR DE SIVOLA has shaped as if needing the run on both his starts this season so could be worth chancing off a career-low mark. Don Occhetti made a promising start to his chase career when 13 lengths second to Clean Getaway over C&D last month and is 12 lb better off with that rival here. so Dan Skelton's charge rates the main threat.

Don Occhetti and Clean Getaway are obvious players, while GALLOW FORD and Honneur De Sivola are interesting types.

4	4 (4) (10/1 -25%) Dark Oak	10 10/1(-25%)	(4) Dark Oak 10/1, Thrice-raced filly. Second of 5 in maiden at Down Royal (12.8f, good, 4/1) 15 days ago. Progressed steadily to date and she should have even more to offer moving forward. Has improved her RPRs with each run and probably bumped into one at Down Royal.
1	1 (1) (15/2 -25%) Alfheim	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(1) Alfheim 15/2, Twice-raced filly. 25/1, showed more than on debut when fourth of 8 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, soft) 42 days ago, no extra last ½f. In good hands and she may do better still. Curragh fourth is working out well and can take another step forward over this longer trip.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -52%) Ms Messi	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Ms Messi 50/1, Make Believe filly. 125/1 and hooded, seventh of 16 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good) on debut 21 days ago, running on. May do better. Positives to take from mid-division finish at Gowran when fitted in a hood (now absent).

2	2 2nd (2) (17/2 -113%) Cancelled	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(2) Cancelled 17/2, Thrice-raced filly. Fourth of 5 in minor event at Gowran (9.4f, good, 3/1) 20 days ago. Previous exploits at Cork/Navan suggested she's up to winning a race of this nature and she's respected returned to this longer trip. 1m1f too sharp last time; had some of these behind the run before over 1m2f at Navan.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 +13%) Declaree	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) Declaree 7/2, Thrice-raced filly. 11/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 11 in maiden at Navan (10.2f, good) 29 days ago.

Betting should guide on debut. Fourth foal; half-sister to useful winner Messidor (Graded stakes-placed 6f-1m; RPR 105).

This should reveal more. Ninth of 12 when hooded at Ballinrobe (1m1f, good) and needed to show a lot more.
6th	3 6th (3) (13/8 +59%) Daboya	1.625 13/8(+59%)	(3) Daboya 13/8, Gleneagles filly. Improved on debut form when second of 16 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good) 21 days ago, every chance final 1f and no extra late on. Type to do better now stamina is drawn out further. Chased home a promising winner at Gowran and has the potential to improve some more.
7th	10 7th (10) (20/1 -100%) Opaque	20 20/1(-100%)	(10) Opaque 20/1, Thrice-raced filly. 10/1, tenth of 15 in maiden at Gowran (8f, good) 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Returning to further may help but she looks up against it on what she's achieved.
8th	13 8th (13) (33/1 -65%) Preparations	33 33/1(-65%)	(13) Preparations 33/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 9 in maiden (80/1) at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 75 days ago, fading final 100 yds. Ran better second time at Gowran (1m1f, soft) but others in here have achieved a lot more.
9th	12 9th (12) (10/1 +29%) Prairie Angel	10 10/1(+29%)	(12) Prairie Angel 10/1, Territories filly who ran to a similar level as on debut when seventh of 12 in maiden at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good) 13 days ago, running on late. Type to do better, particularly when tackling handicaps. Beaten in the region of 5l in 1m maidens at Dundalk and Ballinrobe; in good hands.

The Willie McCreery trained CANCELLED can gain a deserved first career success. Runner-up on her racecourse debut at Cork in May, the filly occupied a similar position at Navan on her next outing. Only fourth of five at Gowran Park last time, dropping back in trip may well have been a factor. On the balance of her form, the daughter of Almanzor should take beating here. La Vita Nova, a staying on fourth in that aforementioned Navan maiden could get much closer now. Making her debut on that occasion, the Jessica Harrington-trained filly is entitled to be much sharper on this second run. Declaree, who was third in that same contest, also holds every chance in what has the makings of a competitive affair.

CANCELLED wasn't at her best on her most recent outing at Gowran yet her previous exploits suggested a race of this nature was well within reach, so she's given the narrow vote to get back on track returned to this long er trip. Daboya and Declaree head up the dangers with La Vita Nova and Dark Oak others who can get involved.

This looks open but it's interesting. The suggestion is ALFHEIM who held her own in a Curragh maiden that is working out well.

A fair 7f winner but he needs to hit the ground running for his new handler. Two-time winner in Ireland but may be best watched making stable debut after some time off.
1	1 1st (1) (11/2 +8%) Regheeb	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(1) Regheeb 11/2, Below form eighteenth of 29 in handicap (33/1) at Royal Ascot (8f, firm) 18 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Well beaten in Royal Hunt Cup but back down in grade here; placed twice in a row in spring.
2	10 2nd (10) (16/1 -78%) Little Empire	16 16/1(-78%)	(10) Little Empire 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, evens) 33 days ago, nearest finish. Can make his presence felt despite being 2 lb "wrong" in the weights. 11lb higher than when winning over C&D last month but unexposed; could have more in tank.
3	4 3rd (4) (80/1 -1131%) Diamondonthehill	80 80/1(-1131%)	(4) Diamondonthehill 80/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 10/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 50 days ago. Enters calculations. Dead-heated at Thirsk in May last time and that form has been franked by his fellow winner.
4	3 4th (3) (40/1 -400%) Benacre	40 40/1(-400%)	(3) Benacre 40/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. No forlorn hope. Inconsistent and disappointing last time, but close third previously and could bounce back.
5th	9 5th (9) (80/1 -567%) Dawn Of Liberation	80 80/1(-567%)	(9) Dawn Of Liberation 80/1, It's now 15 runs since his last win in 2022 and he came in a below-form ninth of 17 in handicap (18/1) at Carlisle (7.8f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Others appeal more. On long losing run but not without spark this year and has dropped to a dangerous mark.
6th	2 6th (2) (100/1 -2122%) Nikovo	100 100/1(-2122%)	(2) Nikovo 100/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win here in May. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good, 3/1) 37 days ago. In the mix. Prolific for new yard; merely fourth at Doncaster last time but he remains of interest.
7th	5 7th (5) (12/1 +0%) Abduction	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Abduction 12/1, Course winner. Ninth of 14 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm, 18/1) 29 days ago. Significantly up in trip with more required. Kept to shorter trips in the main but this three-time 7f course winner is not ruled out.
8th	6 8th (6) (80/1 -627%) Titan Rock	80 80/1(-627%)	(6) Titan Rock 80/1, Course winner. Latest win at Thirsk in May. 7/1, last of 14 in handicap at York (8.8f, soft) 22 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Won the Thirsk Hunt Cup in May but flopped at York last time and needs to bounce back.

DIAMONDONTHEHILL was back to winning ways at Thirsk last time when dead-heating with Yorkshire, and another bold showing looks assured here off just 2lb higher. That is not to underestimate any of the opposition in this competitive handicap, where the top two on the racecard, Regheeb and Nikovo, help set a decent standard. Titan Rock is also surely better than his latest run at York last time out and can figure with a revival.

ELIM didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth in a big-field Royal Ascot handicap last time and can confirm herself handily weighted by resuming winning ways. Thirsk-scorer Diamondonthehill could emerge as the chief threat to Ed Bethell's low-mileage 4-y-o, with C&D scorer Nikovo appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

The progressive 4yo LITTLE EMPIRE was sufficiently dominant over C&D last month to suggest this 11lb higher mark may not be beyond him.

LA HACIENDA will appreciate going a little bit further here and should be up to winning a race off this mark over timber. She's a better mare on the Flat but it was a solid effort to finish third over timber at Downpatrick last time and she is only a couple of pounds higher now. Del Girl showed improvement when losing out narrowly at Punchestown and is still relatively unexposed. She went up 3lb for that effort and looks like an obvious danger. Pettigo was also second last time out, at Downpatrick, and is another with potential upside. She also has to be on the shortlist.

DEL GIRL is going the right way and is fancied to get off the mark. La Hacienda and Divilabother also appeal in what looks a competitive affair.

On just her third start in h'caps, DEL GIRL appreciated stepping up to this trip when just denied at Punchestown and can go one better

8	8 (8) (22/1 +12%) Blow Your Horn	22 22/1(+12%)	(8) Blow Your Horn 22/1, Respectable third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.1f) 25 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Tongue strap on and not ruled out back in this sphere. Back off his last winning mark and has won here; could go well.
1	2 1st (2) (5/2 -11%) Mountain Road	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(2) Mountain Road 5/2, C&D winner who posted a career best when landing 7-runner handicap at Newmarket (14f, good to firm, 11/2) 15 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so merits serious consideration despite a 4 lb rise. Dual winner here (1m6f/2m) and won well at Newmarket last time; big chance off 4lb higher.
2	9 2nd (9) (10/1 -43%) Abraaj	10 10/1(-43%)	(9) Abraaj 10/1, Gained his third AW win this year in 8-runner handicap at Kempton (16f) 25 days ago. Up 3 lb but he can make his presence felt once more. 3-6 on the AW this year; now in a much stronger race, but folly to dismiss in current mood.
3	5 3rd (5) (100/1 -1150%) Cinnodin	100 100/1(-1150%)	(5) Cinnodin 100/1, Five wins from 17 Flat runs. Latest win at Kempton in April. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Sandown (14f, soft) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces back on with work to do. Record in AW handicaps reads 1141; needs the return to this surface to spark a resurgence.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 -14%) Charging Thunder	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) Charging Thunder 8/1, Course winner. Last of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good) 27 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Losing run up to 15 but two runs on the AW include a win over 1m6f here; could go well.
5th	1 5th (1) (16/1 -14%) Fleurman	16 16/1(-14%)	(1) Fleurman 16/1, Yet to add to his two 2023 AW successes this term and only ninth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (16f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Needs a subsequent wind op to spark improvement. Smart form on Tapeta early last year, but not in the same form since; has had a wind op.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -780%) Roost	66 66/1(-780%)	(6) Roost 66/1, 13/2, last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good) 32 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Needs a couple of these to falter. Moderate in three starts since winning at Ffos Las; enough to prove for now.
7th	4 7th (4) (20/1 -122%) Hope You Can Run	20 20/1(-122%)	(4) Hope You Can Run 20/1, Latest win at Newmarket in May. 16/1, creditable eighth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, good) 21 days ago. Much respected on his polytrack debut. Possibilities on his best form if seeing out the longer trip on AW debut.
8th	7 8th (7) (100/1 -2400%) Hedonista	100 100/1(-2400%)	(7) Hedonista 100/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Goodwood (16f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Not taken lightly at these weights though if back on her A-game with headgear quickly dispensed with. 2-4 on the AW; may not have taken to the tongue-tie last time; shortlisted.

The switch to more forceful tactics saw MOUNTAIN ROAD make all with some ease at Newmarket just over a fortnight ago. A 4lb rise in the ratings looks on the lenient side for David Simcock's gelding and a brace could be on the cards. Although underwhelming when seventh at Goodwood last month, it's too soon to write Hedonista off and she isn't taken lightly on this return to Polytrack. Abraaj completes the shortlist.

C&D scorer MOUNTAIN ROAD looked better than ever when going in at Newmarket last time so is fancied to defy a 4 lb weights rise here. Charlie Johnston's Hope You Can Run has his first go on polytrack but must enter calculations along with the handily-weighted duo Blow Your Horn and Hedonista.

The vote goes to MOUNTAIN ROAD (nap) whose record here reads 211. He showed his wellbeing with an emphatic win at Newmarket last time.

1	6 1st (6) (2/1 +20%) Jerrash	2 2/1(+20%)	(6) Jerrash 2/1, Had gone the wrong way latterly for previous connections but has been transformed by a change of scenery, taking advantage of his much-reduced mark when cruising clear to land an 8-runner handicap at Bangor (20.3f, good) 9 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Easy Bangor winner off reduced mark; back up 8lb but might have turned a corner.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/1 -170%) The Big Lense	9 9/1(-170%)	(5) The Big Lense 9/1, Has returned to form over hurdles of late, building on a fine second at Southwell to win a 6-runner handicap there (20.4f, soft) 33 days ago. Has to be respected back chasing. Recently scored over hurdles; runs off last winning chase mark which was only a year ago.
3	3 3rd (3) (100/1 -900%) Saint Arvans	100 100/1(-900%)	(3) Saint Arvans 100/1, Typically made hard work of things when keeping-on fourth over C&D (good to firm) 16 days ago. Frame claims again but others make more appeal for win purposes. Has little margin for error off this mark and he'd prefer further in an ideal world.
4	4 4th (4) (100/1 -1438%) Itso Fury	100 100/1(-1438%)	(4) Itso Fury 100/1, Useful handicap hurdler shaped as if in need of the run for both in terms of fitness and experience sent chasing when fourth of 6 at Southwell (20.4f, good) last month. Could do better with that under his belt. Three hurdle wins; jumping lacked fluency when well held on last month's chase debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (66/1 -1550%) Presentandcounting	66 66/1(-1550%)	(1) Presentandcounting 66/1, Won 2 small-field chases at Ffos Las and Perth in the summer and turned in his most encouraging effort for a while when fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Perth (20.1f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Respected. Excellent strike-rate over fences and ran a solid race in defeat last time at Perth.
6th	2 6th (2) (100/1 -1567%) Before Midnight	100 100/1(-1567%)	(2) Before Midnight 100/1, Shaped best when second of 5 in hunter chase at Ludlow (20f, soft) 96 days ago, collared only close home after quickening clear in the straight. On an interesting mark back in a handicap but needs to prove he fully stays this far. Not as good as he was but can live with this mark; latest effort not frowned upon.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (100/1 -900%) Flic Ou Voyou	100 100/1(-900%)	(7) Flic Ou Voyou 100/1, Somewhat hinted at a revival when third of 5 in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f, good to soft) 43 days ago, seeming stretched by the longer trip after making a bad mistake at 3 out. Others still preferred on balance. Prolific for Paul Nicholls; yet to fire for current yard but latest run was promising.

SAINT ARVANS shaped better than the bare result suggests when staying on well to finish fourth in a warm handicap over C&D last time out and, eased 1lb, a bold showing looks assured. Jerrash clearly relished dropping in trip when running out an easy winner over an extended 2m4f at Bangor recently, and he is respected despite an 8lb rise, while The Big Lense was last seen winning gamely over hurdles at Southwell and is also noted.

JERRASH went with much more zest when scoring at Bangor last time out and can defy an 8 lb higher mark to follow up. The Big Lense has been in good heart hurdling recently and should be in the mix if able to translate that form to chasing, with Presentandcounting taken to round out the placings.

The Bowen yard won this last year with one in form and JERRASH (nap) got his career firmly back on track at Bangor nine days ago.

1	1 (1) (12/1 -33%) Forlio	12 12/1(-33%)	(1) Forlio 12/1, C&D winner in May. Below form tenth of 17 in handicap (7/1) at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 39 days ago, slowly away. Not taken lightly. Won a C&D handicap but below form at Tipperary next time; questions on faster ground today.

Pulled up in novice chase at Fairyhouse (16.2f, heavy, 125/1) on debut over fences 165 days ago. Off 165 days. Poor on last Flat outing. Maiden on the Flat after 21 starts; poor over fences when last seen and others preferred.

Improvement required on handicap debut. Well beaten in four maidens; needs to improve for this faster surface now in a handicap.

5th	2 5th (2) (7/2 -27%) Mayo For Sam	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(2) Mayo For Sam 7/2, Winner at Navan (10.2f) last month and only narrowly failed to add to that success in Ballinrobe handicap (13f, good) 13 days ago. Leading contender. In great form lately; this trip will suit and a big player even though up another 4lb.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 +45%) Thatboathassailed	18 18/1(+45%)	(8) Thatboathassailed 18/1, Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 28/1). Off 15 months. Worth monitoring in market on return. Not a bad effort at Dundalk when last seen but is likely to be rusty after long lay-off.

Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Poor dual-purpose maiden is officially rated only 35 and can't be fancied; blinkers added.

A winner at Navan last month, MAYO FOR SAM was clear of the third when just denied over 1m5f at Ballinrobe on her most recent outing. The handicapper gave her another 4lb for that but coming back in trip may help and she likes to race handily which can be an advantage at this venue. Forlio returned from a lengthy absence to win over C&D in May on his first start in Ireland. Disappointing later that month at Tipperary, he should be capable of bouncing back to form. Just Another Eagle was placed for the first time at Gowran last month and shaped like he would appreciate this trip when making late headway at Leopardstown.

MAYO FOR SAM arrives at the top of her game and can return to winning ways. Struck By Churchil and Albatala rate the principal dangers.

Up another 4lb for her Ballinrobe second, MAYO FOR SAM (nap) stands out on current form and can win if repeating that effort.

This unexposed filly has the potential for better again now stepping up to 1¼m. Leading claims. Two wins from her three starts and she could still be ahead of the handicapper.

Reappeared with comfortable win at Pontefract but well beaten at Carlisle since.

BORN RULER was conceding 9lb when he was a half-length second to Pol Roger over this course and distance in May and is an attractive proposition to turn that form around with a 5lb pull this time. The hat-trick seeking Own Accord also commands respect despite this being her first attempt beyond a mile, whereas Alpine Sierra boast plenty of course experience and appeals for a place with a first-time hood added.

OWN ACCORD is a filly going the right way and can make light of a 5 lb rise for Wetherby now stepping up to 1¼m. Pol Roger has made an excellent start to the season and is second choice ahead of Born Ruler.

3yos have won the last six runnings but the unexposed 4yo OWN ACCORD can buck that trend. Pol Roger is a big danger.

The progressive FLICKER OF HOPE may be able to land his hat-trick. The Buck's Boum gelding won nicely at Clonmel in mid-May before following up with a bit to spare at Wexford later that month. He probably wants a bit of a cut in the ground so any showers would be welcome. I Am Spider Man takes a step up in trip after a convincing success here last month. He went up 10lb for that six-length success and is a leading contender again despite the hike. Early Arrival is another who scored by a wide margin last time and has to be respected. He went up 9lb for his easy 12-length Tramore success.

This looks very competitive but FLICKER OF HOPE arrives on an upward curve so is fancied to defy an 8 lb rise in the weights and follow up his stylish Wexford victory. Course winner I Am Spider Man heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Mr Dibbs, Glendine Billy, Early Arrival and Sphagnum.

An interesting clash between FLICKER OF HOPE and I Am Spider Man; the former is the more proven stayer and can complete a hat-trick

4	1 4th (1) (16/1 +36%) Ayr Harbour	16 16/1(+36%)	(1) Ayr Harbour 16/1, C&D winner but has gone 21 runs since his last win in 2021. 11/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. C&D winner but modest in two starts since returning from a 467-day absence in May.
5th	4 5th (4) (66/1 -560%) Restrict	66 66/1(-560%)	(4) Restrict 66/1, Off 5 months, respectable fifth of 12 in C&D handicap 17 days ago. Needs to build on that now. Won twice on AW early last year; fair fifth over C&D last month but needs to step up again.
6th	2 6th (2) (80/1 -1355%) Zozimus	80 80/1(-1355%)	(2) Zozimus 80/1, Just the one win from 37 runs but arrives in form, reaching the frame yet again at York (9f) last time. Deserves credit for his consistency. Won over 1m on Polytrack at Dundalk as a 2yo, but that his only success in 37 starts.
7th	7 7th (7) (20/1 -122%) Yeoman	20 20/1(-122%)	(7) Yeoman 20/1, 8/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 25 days ago. Now below the mark he defied at Kempton last autumn. All three wins have come at Wolverhampton, the latest from 1lb higher; each-way claims.
8th	10 8th (10) (66/1 -164%) Onemorenomore	66 66/1(-164%)	(10) Onemorenomore 66/1, Latest win at Doncaster in April. Bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Others more persuasive. Back off last winning mark, but well held in three starts since; 0-5 on AW.
9th	6 9th (6) (66/1 -371%) Running Star	66 66/1(-371%)	(6) Running Star 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sound start to handicap career when third on 1m Pontefract reappearance in May but down the field over C&D in first-time cheekpieces since. Blinkers go on now. Placed in his first four starts, but ran poorly over C&D 17 days ago; blinkers on.
10th	5 10th (5) (40/1 -300%) Rascallion	40 40/1(-300%)	(5) Rascallion 40/1, Three-time winner in France. Just second outing for curret yard when fourth of 12 in C&D handicap 17 days ago, left poorly placed. Ran well when fourth over C&D on second start for yard last month; cannot be dismissed.

Local Music is versatile regarding the surface and, as a previous C&D winner, another bold showing is expected despite her going up 8lb for winning over 7f at Lingfield last month. Yeoman is also shortlisted after three solid recent efforts on the all-weather. However, preference is for previous Polytrack winner, RED HAT EAGLE, whose Newmarket success can be upgraded and that eye-catching effort suggests a 6lb higher mark is well within his compass.

LOCAL MUSIC had plenty to spare on turf at Lingfield last time and may be able to defy the handicapper. Zozimus finds winning difficult but can usually be relied upon to give his running and is second choice ahead of recent Newmarket scorer Red Hat Eagle. though Beylebieyi comes into it under a penalty for Friday's Doncaster win.

Preference is for RED HAT EAGLE who won twice on Polytrack last October and who scored in convincing style at Newmarket 15 days ago.

1	3 1st (3) (11/4 -22%) Hall Lane	2.75 11/4(-22%)	(3) Hall Lane 11/4, Back to form when runner-up at Southwell (20.4f) in April and shaped as if still in decent heart when fourth of 7 at this course (21.4f, good) last time, forcing the pace before weakening. Can give another good account. 0-6 over fences but remains interesting on peak effort and this new trip may help.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 -889%) Phil De Pail	9 9/1(-889%)	(4) Phil De Pail 9/1, Lengthy absence prior to his return over hurdles in February and had dropped to a handy mark ahead of going chasing in May. Opened his account over fences at the second attempt at Uttoxeter (24f, good) a month ago, so he looks to hold leading claims. Scored comfortably at Uttoxeter and may be capable of further progress over fences.
3	1 3rd (1) (66/1 -725%) Morning Spirit	66 66/1(-725%)	(1) Morning Spirit 66/1, It's been a while since his last win but he returned to form from out of the blue when second at Southwell (24.3f) in May. However, he failed to back that up when well beaten at Worcester last month. Others more persuasive. Best recent effort when second off top weight at Southwell on penultimate start.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (100/1 -1900%) Giovanni Change	100 100/1(-1900%)	(2) Giovanni Change 100/1, All 4 wins over hurdles at this course and runner-up in handicap chase here (21.4f) on Boxing Day. Ran poorly at Perth on his latest outing, but he could fare better back at this venue from his 5 lb lower mark in this sphere. All hurdles wins at this venue; best chase effort when second here last December.

Now that the penny has dropped for PHIL DE PAIL after a commanding success at Uttoxeter last time out, the seven-year-old is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming as he looks to overcome a 7lb rise. Hall Lane has been relatively disappointing since a strong runner-up effort at Southwell in April, but stepping up in trip could be the making of him, while Morning Spirit is noted too.

PHIL DE PAIL stepped forward from his chasing debut when winning in impressive style at Uttoxeter last time and, with further progress to come over fences, he can go on to score again. Hall Lane made the frame once more at this course 23 days ago and could be the biggest theat, while Giovanni Change is a 4-time winner here over hurdles.

Uttoxeter winner PHIL DE PAIL is preferred. Hall Lane is second choice.

12	12 (12) (9/1 -29%) Sceptred Isle	9 9/1(-29%)	(12) Sceptred Isle 9/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 28/1, improved on recent efforts to win 17-runner handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 39 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Very much one to consider. Tipperary winner; an 11lb rise seems a bit heavy-handed for beating a 15-race maiden.
4	4 (4) (22/1 -10%) Rocky Blue	22 22/1(-10%)	(4) Rocky Blue 22/1, 50/1, unseated rider 4 out over hurdles at Punchestown (19.2f, good) 28 days ago. Career best when winning on last Flat run so not ruled out. Useful under both codes but there are questions about his current wellbeing.
1	8 1st (8) (6/1 +0%) Curious Bride	6 6/1(+0%)	(8) Curious Bride 6/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Ballinrobe (13f, good) 13 days ago. Enters calculations. Was 2nd over C&D before outpaced over shorter at Ballinrobe; this race looks a better fit.
2	11 2nd (11) (17/2 -21%) Believe In Science	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(11) Believe In Science 17/2, Remains a maiden after 22 runs but posted a good fifth of 11 to Influential Lady in handicap at Gowran (14f, good) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Expected to be bang there now stepping up in trip. Is 0-22 but wasn't far off over 1m6f at Gowran latest and this longer trip is worth a go.
3	13 3rd (13) (8/1 +43%) Firm Belief	8 8/1(+43%)	(13) Firm Belief 8/1, Creditable 6 lengths fifth of 16 to Killeemore Lad in handicap (15/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago. One for the shortlist. Going through the motions of late and others are more likely winners.

5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 +36%) The Tide Turns	16 16/1(+36%)	(5) The Tide Turns 16/1, Twelfth of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Listowel (16.2f, good) 35 days ago. Others appeal more. Useful hurdler; has offered little in two staying handicaps back on the Flat.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/2 +31%) Barrier	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(3) Barrier 11/2, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Gowran in May. 16/1, creditable eighth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (16f, good) 9 days ago, missing break. Needs considering. Can be slow to break and that cost her last time at the Curragh; has a big run in her.
7th	10 7th (10) (28/1 +44%) The Vegas Raider	28 28/1(+44%)	(10) The Vegas Raider 28/1, 25/1, creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.3f, good to soft) 40 days ago. No forlorn hope back in this sphere. Last of three Flat wins for Michael Bell in 2021; low-grade handicap hurdler these days.
8th	1 8th (1) (3/1 +0%) Killeemore Lad	3 3/1(+0%)	(1) Killeemore Lad 3/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 9/4, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago by length from Curious Bride, eased down. Ought to be in the shake-up. Running well under both codes; hit with a 9lb rise for last win here but beat 15 rivals.
9th	2 9th (2) (18/1 -157%) Caradoc	18 18/1(-157%)	(2) Caradoc 18/1, 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (12.5f, good) 15 days ago, running on. Significantly back up in trip. Not taken lightly. Stayed on over 1m4f here last time but has yet to convince over staying distances.
10th	6 10th (6) (16/1 +20%) Cerberus	16 16/1(+20%)	(6) Cerberus 16/1, 16/1, first run since leaving Augustine Leahy when 10¼ lengths seventh of 16 to Killeemore Lad in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago. More is needed. Stuck on a losing run and has regressed; never been the strongest of finishers.
11th	14 11th (14) (28/1 +15%) Honketonk Angel	28 28/1(+15%)	(14) Honketonk Angel 28/1, Respectable 11 lengths tenth of 16 to Killeemore Lad in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 20/1) 25 days ago. Can't be discounted. A 2m winner on the AW late last year but doesn't look as effective on turf.
12th	7 12th (7) (100/1 -100%) Travel On	100 100/1(-100%)	(7) Travel On 100/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (80/1) at Dundalk (16f). Off 16 months. Sole win in 2019; was in no form on the AW when last seen well over a year ago.

KILLEEMORE LAD has been in good form under both codes this year and recorded his first Flat win over C&D last month. He was value for more than the winning margin of a length and can follow up off a 9lb higher mark. Curious Bride chased home the selection in the aforementioned contest at this venue and has since run another solid race over 1m5f at ballinrobe. She'll appreciate the return to this trip and has the champion jockey's assistance this time. Influential Lady stays well over jumps and gained a first Flat win over 1m6f at Gowran two starts back. This stiff test of stamina will suit her.

Lots with chances. BELIEVE IN SCIENCE is taken to gain an overdue first success on the back of his good running-on Gowran fifth with the promise of more to come over this marathon distance. Curious Bride also arrives on a losing sequence but is weighted to have a say, while in-form pair Caradoc and Killeemore Lad command plenty of respect too.

Killeemore Lad has obvious claims but CURIOUS BRIDE is not without hope of reversing last month's C&D placings.

Needs a couple of these to falter. 1 lb out of the weights. 0-7 and yet to finish better than fifth, but perhaps the first-time blinkers will help.

3	2 3rd (2) (7/2 -86%) Braes Of Doune	3.5 7/2(-86%)	(2) Braes Of Doune 7/2, C&D winner who was returning from 5 months off when solid second of 8 in handicap at this course (8f, good) 46 days ago.

Fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good, 33/1) 34 days ago, doing too much too soon. 1 lb out of the weights. Others more appealing. Three-time C&D winner, including this in 2021, but merely fifth over C&D on both 2024 runs.

BRAES OF DOUNE tends to go well at this venue and, having breezed to success in this race last year, the Jim Goldie-trained gelding is a strong contender for back-to-back wins off just 5lb higher. Fellow C&D winner Visitant is well handicapped on old form and the admirable veteran, who posted a near miss over 1m6f at Redcar last month, also rates a key player back at this trip. Carvalhal completes the shortlist.

The step back up in trip looks sure to suit BRAES OF DOUNE and he makes plenty of appeal here. Carvalhal and Mr Boson can also make their prsence felt.

Most of these have something to prove whereas last year's winner BRAES OF DOUNE (nap) was a good second over 1m here in May last time.

APPLE'S OF BRESIL is a nice horse and should be hard to beat in a summer bumper. The Blue Bresil gelding has kept good company on his three runs to date and was most recently seen finishing third, albeit well-beaten, behind Ballyburn in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown in December. He had lost out by a couple of heads in a strong Navan bumper previously and on that form he's hard to oppose. Obviously Willie Mullins has to be respected with his runner Chart Topper. The Walk In The Park gelding was a decent third in a Punchestown bumper last month. Iamagetaway also showed ability in some strong winter bumpers and is another for the shortlist.

A case can be made for a few of these but Willie Mullins' son of Walk In The Park CHART TOPPER shaped as though this longer trip would be to his benefit when a staying-on third in a big field at Punchestown last time so edges the vote. Ocean Brew should also be suited by this trip so could build on her Tramore fourth and emerge as the main danger. Recent course second Wild Mandate, the returning Apple's of Bresil and newcomer Our June command plenty of respect too.

Beaten two heads on his latest start in bumpers, this looks a good opportunity for APPLE'S OF BRESIL and the tongue-tie might help

9th	5 9th (5) (50/1 -400%) Law Supreme	50 50/1(-400%)	(5) Law Supreme 50/1, Winner at Bath in April. 6/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Others look better treated, though. Won at Bath in April, but needs a bit more off this mark returned to Polytrack.
10th	6 10th (6) (66/1 -1367%) Island Native	66 66/1(-1367%)	(6) Island Native 66/1, In top form and arrives on back of victory in Beverley handicap (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago. 3 lb higher now but another bold bid is on the cards. Front-runner and C&D winner who has a bit to do from the outside draw.

ROYAL PARADE bounced back to form when beaten a length into second over course and distance last month and he has to be of interest off a 2lb higher mark as a result. Eagle Day and Island Native are others who arrive here with strong form claims, while Lough Leane edges out Dream Pirate and Siam Fox to be the pick of the remainder.

Preference is for ROYAL PARADE, who has been given a chance by the handicapper and posted his best effort for some time here last month. Eagle Day and Island Native head the list of dangers.

The choice is DREAM PIRATE who remains unexposed on the AW and who ran well to finish a close fourth of 13 at Kempton 11 days ago.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (17/2 -31%) I'd Go Maniac	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(1) I'd Go Maniac 17/2, 13/2, showed a bit when making late headway into sixth in an AW bumper at Lingfield last November. Potential improver switched to turf on return. Made just a mildly encouraging debut at Lingfield in November; improvement needed here.
2	5 2nd (5) (66/1 -560%) Warfleet	66 66/1(-560%)	(5) Warfleet 66/1, Held back by inexperience when seventh of 11 on Worcester debut 18 days ago. Should be wiser this time. Stuck to task fairly well when seventh on recent debut but others have more obvious claims.
3	7 3rd (7) (28/1 -100%) Getaway Frankie	28 28/1(-100%)	(7) Getaway Frankie 28/1, 4/1, ninth of 11 in bumper at Hexham (2m, good to soft) on debut 57 days ago. Can only really watch after that. Unable to justify market prominence when tailed off at Hexham in May.
4	8 4th (8) (100/1 -900%) Blackwater Lilly	100 100/1(-900%)	(8) Blackwater Lilly 100/1, Casamento filly. Dam bumper winner/placed over hurdles. Worth a precautionary betting check on debut. First foal from a bumper winner; stable has the odd winner in this sphere.
5th	2 5th (2) (25/1 -1434%) Montana Golden	25 25/1(-1434%)	(2) Montana Golden 25/1, 4/1, promising second of 12 in bumper at Worcester (2m, good to soft, 4/1) on debut 36 days ago. The one to beat. Second of 12 on recent debut at Worcester; probably sets a fair standard of rules form.
6th	4 6th (4) (100/1 -900%) Washpool	100 100/1(-900%)	(4) Washpool 100/1, Runner-up sole start in points (May 12). Betting should guide to expectations on bumper debut. Runner-up on point debut in May and new stable has healthy bumper strike-rate.
7th	6 7th (6) (40/1 -900%) You Moved On	40 40/1(-900%)	(6) You Moved On 40/1, Outstrip gelding. Half-brother to 7f/1m winner Remember Me. Dam unraced. Stable does well in bumpers so this newcomer has to enter the reckoning, particularly if the betting vibes are positive. Half-brother to a fair Flat winner; stable has very good strike-rate.
8th	9 8th (9) (100/1 -1718%) Ellie Blue	100 100/1(-1718%)	(9) Ellie Blue 100/1, Blue Bresil filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Nells Son and fair hurdler Amberose. Makes some paper appeal for a stable which operates at a healthy 17% strike-rate in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Half-sister to connections' useful jumper Nells Son; stable does well in bumpers.
9th	3 9th (3) (80/1 -60%) Threeandahalf	80 80/1(-60%)	(3) Threeandahalf 80/1, Down the field in bumpers 6 months apart. Brian Hughes takes the ride again but still hard to recommend. Unable to land any sort of blow on his first two outings; can't be recommended..

MONTANA GOLDEN came from off the pace to finish an encouraging second on debut at Worcester last month and the extra yardage here should be in his favour as he looks to go one better. The son of Mount Nelson sets the standard on form and it may be newcomer You Moved On who follows him home for a stable with an excellent record at this track. I'd Go Maniac got the hang of things late in the day when sixth on debut at Lingfield and could step forward.

MONTANA GOLDEN made an encouraging start to his career when second at Worcester last month and is taken to go one better now. The others with racecourse experience haven't achieved a great deal so the main threat may come from newcomers You Moved On and Ellie Blue.

Runner-up on last month's debut at Worcester, MONTANA GOLDEN is taken to go one better here.

About U.K Horse Racing

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. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

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.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
