1	12 1st (12) (4/1 +67%) Mac Ailey		4 4/1(+67%)																															(12) Mac Ailey 4/1, Bounced back from his previous effort when fourth of 9 in minor event at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm, 10/1) 19 days ago. Blinkers back on. Engaged 3.40 here Sunday. 3lb lower than when last successful, but isn't easy to win with (3-57); 5th here yesterday.
2	7 2nd (7) (6.5/1 +64%) Golden Valour		6.5 6.5/1(+64%)																															(7) Golden Valour 6.5/1, Twenty-three runs since last win in 2020. Failed to repeat his previous effort when seventh of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Others preferred. 2-35; fair effort on second start back but well held either side; others more convincing.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +11%) Broctune Red		4 4/1(+11%)																															(3) Broctune Red 4/1, Latest win at Newcastle in April. 4/1, below-par effort when eighth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 30 days ago. However, had been in good form previously. Can bounce back. Seven-time winner on the Newcastle AW, but just 1-23 on turf; others preferred.
4	9 4th (9) (4.5/1 +55%) Flying Moon		4.5 4.5/1(+55%)																															(9) Flying Moon 4.5/1, Completed a C&D hat-trick last year. 8/1, fared better than of late when fourth of 9 in handicap again at this C&D (firm) 27 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort. Five-time course winner including this race last year from 4lb higher; interesting.
5th	1 5th (1) (2.75/1 +17%) Berry Edge		2.75 2.75/1(+17%)																															(1) Berry Edge 2.75/1, Blinkered for 1st time, again ran well when second of 9 in handicap (16/5) at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Can go one better this time around. 1-18 but placed in seven of his last eight starts; should be right there once again.
6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 +21%) Purple Ice		22 22/1(+21%)																															(4) Purple Ice 22/1, Winner at Newcastle in May, but not in the same form when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good, 10/1) 35 days ago. Capable if on a going day. 0-10 on turf and 1-15 overall; plenty to prove after a poor effort at Thirsk last month.
7th	6 7th (6) (28/1 +20%) Rampant		28 28/1(+20%)																															(6) Rampant 28/1, Hasn't built on his encouraging debut in 2 starts since, eighth of 11 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to firm, 40/1) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time as he now goes handicapping. Back up in trip for handicap debut, but some guesswork is involved; cheekpieces on.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 -67%) Artisan Dancer		20 20/1(-67%)																															(8) Artisan Dancer 20/1, Has gone the wrong way from a promising reappearance, last of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good, 4/1) 7 days ago. Back down in trip with visor on 1st time. Went close at Southwell in March, but poor in both starts back on turf since; visor on.
9th	5 9th (5) (20/1 +43%) Rogue Force		20 20/1(+43%)																															(5) Rogue Force 20/1, Back up in trip, again below form when eighth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm, 33/1) 32 days ago. Dropping in the weights but more needed to be able to take advantage. Not shown much in three starts since joining this yard; enough to prove, not least stamina.
10th	11 10th (11) (150/1 -200%) Imenso		150 150/1(-200%)																															(11) Imenso 150/1, Again finished well held when last of 6 in nursery at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 40/1) on his final outing last year. Significantly up in trip on his return from 12 months off. Best watched. Returns from a year off and has lots to prove stepping up 4f in trip.

LTO Selection:

Berry Edge followed his half-length second over course and distance with a near-miss at Beverley off this mark and another bold bid is expected. However, the top-weight may have to play second fiddle again, this time to HAVANA PARTY, who scored over this track and trip in style before going close to defying a 5lb rise over 1m1f at Hamilton last time. He likes it here and should appreciate the return to 1m2f. Broctune Red is feasibly treated on his early-season form, while Cosa Sara is interesting now upped in distance.

With blinkers applied, BERRY EDGE continued in good heart when runner-up at Beverley last month and he could be ready to return to winning ways. Broctune Red had also been running well prior to a below-par effort last time, so it would be no surprise to see him bounce back given his previous form, while Cosa Sara also merits consideration.

It may be worth taking a chance with FLYING MOON who is 4lb lower than when winning this race last year.

1	5 1st (5) (0.73/1 +34%) Ike Sport		0.73 0.73/1(+34%)																															(5) Ike Sport 0.73/1, Raised his game considerably back from 4 months off when seeing off a subsequent winner in handicap at Taunton (19f) in March. Good runner-up efforts in handicap company on 3 of his 4 starts since and leading form claims back in a novice. Second in another three handicaps since his win in March; has good chance at the weights.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +14%) Soldat Forte		3 3/1(+14%)																															(1) Soldat Forte 3/1, Fair form in bumpers and well prepared to make a successful hurdles debut at Southwell in April. Similar form when runner-up at Ludlow and Uttoxeter since. Likely to be in the thick of things again. Second on both starts since winning hurdle debut; up in trip here; likely contender.
4	10 4th (10) (18/1 +36%) Sforza Castle		18 18/1(+36%)																															(10) Sforza Castle 18/1, Has hinted at ability in a bumper and maiden hurdle in recent months. May do better. Shaped with some promise on last month's hurdle debut but probably one for another day.
5th	9 5th (9) (33/1 -32%) Seefin		33 33/1(-32%)																															(9) Seefin 33/1, Failed to complete in points. 10/1, barely modest form when fourth of 8 in maiden at Southwell (20.5f, good to soft) on hurdle debut 34 days ago. From a top yard but he will need a decent chunk of improvement to go close here. With a good stable but was 0-4 in Irish points in 2022 and made underwhelming rules debut.
6th	2 6th (2) (28/1 -180%) Baikal		28 28/1(-180%)																															(2) Baikal 28/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Left hurdle debut behind when springing a 25/1 surprise in 2m course maiden in May, despite doing plenty wrong (hung left). Well held back on Flat since. Stamina not assured now stepping up in trip. Caused 25-1 surprise in modest 2m maiden here in May; has stamina to prove today.
7th	12 7th (12) (11/1 +21%) Our Friend Mo		11 11/1(+21%)																															(12) Our Friend Mo 11/1, Third in her sole Irish point. Has shown ability in 2 hurdles this spring but possibly more one for handicaps after this. Third on Irish point debut and has shown promise under rules; others look stronger, though.
8th	3 8th (3) (66/1 -313%) Ballylinch		66 66/1(-313%)																															(3) Ballylinch 66/1, Winning pointer but ran to only a modest level when fourth of 6 on 23f Market Rasen hurdle debut 17 days ago. Down in trip. Irish point winner; ran okay on rules debut but this race is a fair bit stronger.
9th	6 9th (6) (150/1 -200%) Ipso Falco		150 150/1(-200%)																															(6) Ipso Falco 150/1, Well held in bumpers 7 months apart. Longer trip should suit now hurdling but still hard to fancy. Well beaten in both bumpers; makes hurdling debut today.
10th	11 10th (11) (200/1 -100%) Ykikahobbsie		200 200/1(-100%)																															(11) Ykikahobbsie 200/1, Poor form in 2 outings on the Flat early last year ahead of this switch to hurdles. Struggled on his two Flat starts last year and makes hurdling debut after 481-day absence.
11th	8 11th (8) (7/1 +7%) Roll With It		7 7/1(+7%)																															(8) Roll With It 7/1, Fair form when placed twice in bumpers at the start of 2022. Off for 16 months ahead of this switch to hurdles but this race lacks depth and he needs a betting check. Live claims if judged on bumper form, but makes hurdle debut after 491-day absence.

LTO Selection:

---

SOLDAT FORTE has been hugely consistent since beginning his career in this sphere and recent efforts have suggested that a step up in trip may eke out further improvement. If so, the six-year-old may have too much for the slightly unlucky Ike Sport, who has been runner-up on three of his last four outings. A winner here over shorter in May, Baikal can also have a say in proceedings.

IKE SPORT escapes a penalty for his win in a conditional jockeys' handicap and that just tips things in his favour ahead of fellow previous hurdle winner Soldat Forte. Roll With It hasn't been seen for 16 months but did achieve enough in bumpers at the beginning of 2022 to think he could make his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.

This looks a good opportunity for IKE SPORT, who has been running to a fair level in handicaps and avoids a penalty for his win.

1	3 1st (3) (2.25/1 +36%) Geremia		2.25 2.25/1(+36%)																															(3) Geremia 2.25/1, Unreliable individual (habitual slow starter). Latest win at Hamilton in May. Shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good, 8/1) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Step back up in trip in his favour. Has the form to feature and won't mind good to soft ground providing he breaks on terms.
2	4 2nd (4) (2.5/1 +38%) Ravenscraig Castle		2.5 2.5/1(+38%)																															(4) Ravenscraig Castle 2.5/1, C&D winner. 7/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, shaped really well back down in trip when second of 14 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, soft) 12 days ago, caught further back than ideal. One to be interested in with a first-time visor applied. Nearly snapped his losing run at Carlisle; thereabouts if taking to the visor.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/1 +22%) Charging Thunder		7 7/1(+22%)																															(1) Charging Thunder 7/1, C&D winner. 80/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, possibly needed run on first run back from Dubai after 4 months off when thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Royal Ascot (14.2f, good) 20 days ago. Back in much calmer waters but others appeal more. Has form claims but ground on the soft side of good is worrying.
4	6 4th (6) (4.5/1 +0%) Alpine Stroll		4.5 4.5/1(+0%)																															(6) Alpine Stroll 4.5/1, Confirmed himself back at the top of his game when second of 8 in handicap (15/8) at Sandown (14f, good to firm) 23 days ago, staying on well. 2 lb higher here but has to be taken seriously in his current mood. In good form after beating all bar an unexposed 4yo at Sandown; acts on good to soft.
5th	2 5th (2) (8.5/1 -240%) La Pulga		8.5 8.5/1(-240%)																															(2) La Pulga 8.5/1, Latest win at Hamilton in June. Typically gave his running when third of 7 in handicap (2/1) at Goodwood (12f, good) 17 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. He's won both starts beyond 1½m and looks sure to go well once again back up in distance. 6lb higher than for his Hamilton win in June but has continued to run well.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 +9%) Zimmerman		10 10/1(+9%)																															(5) Zimmerman 10/1, 3/1, turned in a rare poor effort when sixth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good) 19 days ago, weakening when hampered under 2f out. He's the type to bounce back quickly. Knows how to win and could bounce back from last time at Ripon under ideal conditions.

LTO Selection:

---

Not beaten far on his last two starts over further, ALPINE STROLL should be well suited by the slight drop in trip and he can gain a first win since last August. Ed De Giles' charge is narrowly preferred to C&D winner Ravenscraig Castle and La Pulga, who won on his only go at this trip in June. Geremia is another consistent sort at this level and he must enter calculations.

A tricky contest to unravel despite the small field but preference is for RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE, who hasn't won for almost 2 years but signalled his turn could be imminent when runner-up at Carlisle 12 days ago. A first-time visor goes on and he can get the better of Alpine Stroll, who is at the top of his game but may have to settle for a third consecutive silver medal placing. La Pulga is another certainly not out of things.

Tim Easterby's ZIMMERMAN edges preference as he looked in good order prior to his excusable defeat at Ripon.

1	9 1st (9) (8.5/1 -21%) My Poem		8.5 8.5/1(-21%)																															(9) My Poem 8.5/1, Poor handicap hurdler who ran well at Stratford when last seen 8 months ago but is likely to strip fitter for this. Just missed out in a good-ground Stratford handicap when last seen in October.
2	4 2nd (4) (2.5/1 -25%) Vision Of Hope		2.5 2.5/1(-25%)																															(4) Vision Of Hope 2.5/1, AW Flat winner who is on the up and doubled her tally in this sphere when just holding on at Market Rasen last time. Only up 3 lb and makes most appeal. Flat winner who has taken really well to hurdling; 3lb rise for latest win is manageable.
3	11 3rd (11) (7.5/1 +53%) Saddlers Quest		7.5 7.5/1(+53%)																															(11) Saddlers Quest 7.5/1, Poor maiden hurdler who looks set for another struggle. Never seriously involved at Hereford last time and she's now 0-12 over hurdles.
4	12 4th (12) (9/1 +55%) Jolie Baie		9 9/1(+55%)																															(12) Jolie Baie 9/1, Offered little in a Huntingdon bumper on Rules debut and only mild encouragement so far over hurdles. May do better now handicapping in a first-time hood. Handicaps are now the way to go and she's first-time hooded.
5th	10 5th (10) (33/1 -18%) Citizen Jane		33 33/1(-18%)																															(10) Citizen Jane 33/1, Showed little over hurdles for Tom Symonds and, despite winning a point in between, failed to offer much encouragement on Rules debut for this yard at Uttoxeter last time. Others preferred. Only 7th on her return to rules and not sure about this drop back to 2m.
6th	1 6th (1) (28/1 -180%) On Cloud Nine		28 28/1(-180%)																															(1) On Cloud Nine 28/1, Runner-up on the second of 2 starts in points and best effort to date under Rules when third in a novice at Bangor last time. Appeals as the type to up her game now handicapping for the first time. Goes handicapping on the back of showing a bit more in a 2m maiden at Bangor.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 +20%) Coastal Sun		8 8/1(+20%)																															(8) Coastal Sun 8/1, Sole success from 11 hurdles starts was gained in a Ludlow claimer for Alastair Ralph in November. Yet to make an impact in handicaps for this yard but there was a glimmer of promise at Stratford last time. Beaten 10l at Stratford the last time in a race that never went to plan.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 +45%) Bella Madonna		12 12/1(+45%)																															(6) Bella Madonna 12/1, Poor form in bumpers/hurdles. Switch to handicaps needs to bring about plenty of improvement. Not done enough over hurdles to believe she'll make an immediate splash in handicaps.
9th	7 9th (7) (20/1 +9%) Joyful Kit		20 20/1(+9%)																															(7) Joyful Kit 20/1, Modest maiden hurdler who arrives out of sorts and is hard to make a case for. Below best for current stable, including when a 15l fourth at Ffos Las.
10th	5 10th (5) (5/1 +23%) Energy Two		5 5/1(+23%)																															(5) Energy Two 5/1, Lightly-raced hurdler who made a positive step when fourth in a C&D handicap hurdle last month, doing her best work at the finish. Can improve further, so merits respect. Still early days and closed to within 5l of the principals over C&D (good) 19 days ago.
11th	3 11th (3) (7/1 -40%) Three Macks		7 7/1(-40%)																															(3) Three Macks 7/1, Fair maiden on the Flat up to 7f for Andrew Oliver. Best effort to date over hurdles when second in a C&D handicap hurdle last time and seems likely to feature once more. 0-15 but having her first handicap when runner-up over C&D 19 days ago.
12th	2 12th (2) (40/1 -21%) Pepsiwithacap		40 40/1(-21%)																															(2) Pepsiwithacap 40/1, Just modest form over hurdles in Ireland. Performed respectably on Flat upon joining present yard but easy to back and disappointing when pulled up over hurdles at Plumpton (15.9f) in May. Brought down at Newton Abbot since. Pulled up on return to hurdling and then brought down early (18-1) off this mark.

LTO Selection:

---

Not beaten far over C&D on her handicap debut last month, there is a possibility that THREE MACKS may get her way out in front this time around as she looks to break the maiden at the seventh time of asking. A winner of two of her last three starts, Vision Of Hope can give her the most to think about, along with My Poem, who has run well fresh in the past.

VISION OF HOPE held off another improving sort when scoring at Market Rasen last time and, with further improvement to come, she's fancied to defy a small rise. Three Macks and Energy Two both stepped forward when hitting the frame in the same C&D handicap 19 days ago and they're likely to be involved again.

If ridden a little handier this time then the unexposed ENERGY TWO could reverse recent course placings with Three Macks.

1	5 1st (5) (14/1 +44%) Thunder Roar		14 14/1(+44%)																															(5) Thunder Roar 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, raced too freely when only eighth of 9 on handicap debut at Hamilton (11.1f, good) 57 days ago. Significantly down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Ryan. Something to find on form. Only had three starts since his debut in September 2021; watch market on stable debut.
2	4 2nd (4) (6.5/1 +28%) Cold Stare		6.5 6.5/1(+28%)																															(4) Cold Stare 6.5/1, Course winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. 15/2, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, firm) 16 days ago, running on after meeting some trouble. Back up in trip. Well treated at present but tends to need plenty to drop right. Return to 7f no problem and a major player provided the ground remains on the soft side.
3	12 3rd (12) (20/1 -150%) Bay Of Hope		20 20/1(-150%)																															(12) Bay Of Hope 20/1, Good fifth in a hot Southwell event in January and opened account after 6 months off at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 10/3) 17 days ago, holding on gamely. Plenty to like again from 6 lb higher mark. 6lb higher than when off the mark at Redcar last month; form hasn't worked out.
4	10 4th (10) (18/1 +0%) Pol Roger		18 18/1(+0%)																															(10) Pol Roger 18/1, Won novice events at Ayr and Thirsk last summer but ended 2022 poorly and hasn't yet fired in 4 outings this season, shaping as if amiss at Haydock last time. Cheekpieces go on. Not got going this year and stable has stronger candidates elsewhere; cheekpieces on.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +14%) Touchwood		12 12/1(+14%)																															(3) Touchwood 12/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Wasted no time getting back to form when fourth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Thirsk (7f, soft) 20 days ago. Looks competitive on form. 1lb below last winning mark, but best form has come on good/good to firm ground.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 +21%) Golden Apollo		11 11/1(+21%)																															(6) Golden Apollo 11/1, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at this course (6f, firm) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Looks on the way back to best and is respected from below last winning mark. Best known as a sprinter, but has won over 7f; 1lb below last winning mark; could go well.
7th	1 7th (1) (5/1 -25%) Deputy		5 5/1(-25%)																															(1) Deputy 5/1, Built on promising reappearance effort when second of 7 in handicap (9/4) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 65 days ago. Quicker ground here shouldn't be an issue and has to be taken seriously. Suited by soft ground and only found a subsequent winner too good last time; considered.
8th	2 8th (2) (3.5/1 +22%) Judgment Call		3.5 3.5/1(+22%)																															(2) Judgment Call 3.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in May. 14/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm) 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort after making progress from rear. Can make presence felt. Dual C&D winner and all three wins have come from the front; could go well if able to lead.
9th	11 9th (11) (100/1 -150%) Flash Bulb		100 100/1(-150%)																															(11) Flash Bulb 100/1, Fair form in a trio of starts for Joseph O'Brien but hasn't shown too much to be positive about for this yard, including over hurdles. Others make more appeal. Some promise in three starts for Joseph O'Brien, but shown little since joining this yard.
10th	7 10th (7) (8/1 +33%) Devilwala		8 8/1(+33%)																															(7) Devilwala 8/1, Another respectable effort when third of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, soft, 16/1) 20 days ago. Remains on workable mark, so holds sound frame claims. Has run well the last twice back off his last winning mark; should go well again.
11th	8 11th (8) (3.33/1 +39%) Classy Al		3.33 3.33/1(+39%)																															(8) Classy Al 3.33/1, C&D winner. Outbattled and should have won when second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (firm, 10/3) 27 days ago. Clearly capable of going well but comes with risks attached. All three wins have come here; just beaten over C&D last time, but form not worked out.

LTO Selection:

---

There could be more to come from Bay Of Hope after he got off the mark over this trip at Redcar, but he has no margin for error off a 6lb higher mark and preference is for JUDGMENT CALL. A winner over course and distance in May, he ran well in defeat at York last month after a slow start and should relish a return to a venue he likes. Deputy contends on the form of his one-length second off 1lb lower at Doncaster last time, while Cold Stare continues to run well in defeat and a return to 7f may help.

DEPUTY was progressive towards the end of last season and is fancied to build on a really encouraging effort at Doncaster when last seen in May. Judgment Call was forced to adopt different tactics after a slow start at York last time but shaped well on balance and has winning C&D form so makes the shortlist, alongside the potentially well-treated Golden Apollo and unexposed Redcar winner Bay of Hope.

The choice is COLD STARE who has been consistent since returning and the return to 7f looks to be a plus.

1	11 1st (11) (9/1 -29%) Rubys Reward		9 9/1(-29%)																															(11) Rubys Reward 9/1, Sole win came for Anthony Honeyball in 2021/22 but her form has been going the right way since joining her current yard, going down narrowly to a less-exposed sort when second of 3 at Newton Abbot (26.5f) last time. Shortlisted. Just 1-13 over hurdles but comes here after two good efforts; no surprise if she features.
2	2 2nd (2) (16/1 -14%) Classic Concorde		16 16/1(-14%)																															(2) Classic Concorde 16/1, Having won 4 times in points since last seen under Rules, attracted support (9/2) but disappointing when pulled up in handicap chase at this course (23f) 19 days ago. Has been given a chance by the handicapper as he returns to hurdling with cheekpieces back on. Ran poorly over fences here last month but reverts to hurdling on workable mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (1.1/1 +8%) Karavomylos		1.1 1.1/1(+8%)																															(4) Karavomylos 1.1/1, Has shown improved form upped in trip switched to handicaps this season, in first-time tongue tie when getting off the mark at Uttoxeter (23.3f) last month. Can follow up with further progress to come as a stayer. Rallied well for narrow Uttoxeter win last month and might still be improving; big player.
4	5 4th (5) (7.5/1 +38%) Fantomas		7.5 7.5/1(+38%)																															(5) Fantomas 7.5/1, Fortunate to score over fences at Uttoxeter (3m) in September and hasn't really threatened back over hurdles since his next outing, going backwards from his reappearance when sixth of 11 at Newton Abbot (18.5f) 13 days ago. Needs to find more back up in trip. Not firing on all cylinder this year and needs to up his game.
5th	10 5th (10) (66/1 -65%) Trickalight		66 66/1(-65%)																															(10) Trickalight 66/1, Irish point winner but remains with little form over hurdles, faring no better in first-time cheekpieces when down the field at this course (20f) in May. Placed in 2m4f maiden here in summer 2021 but lightly raced and very disappointing since.
6th	8 6th (8) (14/1 -87%) Racing Spirit		14 14/1(-87%)																															(8) Racing Spirit 14/1, Only one win from 28 starts over hurdles, which came back in July 2020. However, placed twice at this C&D last summer and, after 9 months off, ran well when finishing second at Southwell (24.3f) in June. Can give another good account. No win since summer 2020 but ran well last month, after a break and has each-way claims.
7th	7 7th (7) (25/1 +0%) King Otis		25 25/1(+0%)																															(7) King Otis 25/1, Modest ex-Irish maiden hurdler who hasn't shown much in 4 starts for current connections, pulled up on his chase debut at Southwell (24.3f) on his latest outing. Back over hurdles with cheekpieces now applied. Ex-Irish maiden who hasn't shown a great deal for his new stable this year.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 +0%) Stripe Of Honour		22 22/1(+0%)																															(6) Stripe Of Honour 22/1, Bagged his second course success when landing 12-runner handicap (20f) in May and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when fifth of 11 at Southwell (24.3f) next time. However, wasn't on a going day when pulled up back here 19 days ago. Shock winner here in May but flopped badly last time and can't be relied upon.
9th	1 9th (1) (12/1 +14%) Twilight Girl		12 12/1(+14%)																															(1) Twilight Girl 12/1, Fair hurdler/chaser in Ireland. Multiple point winner since but let down by her jumping on yard debut in hunter chase at Fakenham (3m) in April. Back over hurdles, inadequate test when sixth of 9 at Newton Abbot (16.8f) last time. Others still more persuasive. 3-6 in points this year; found 2m1f too sharp on hurdling return; can do better here.
10th	12 10th (12) (33/1 +0%) Kayf Baha		33 33/1(+0%)																															(12) Kayf Baha 33/1, Little sign of encouragement over hurdles in 2021/22 and pulled up on his chase debut at Taunton on his sole outing last season. Best watched reverted to hurdling after a further 6 months off. Remains unexposed and worth a glance in the betting but others have more obvious claims.
9	9 |PU| (9) (6/1 +25%) Ya Know Yaseff		6 6/1(+25%)																															(9) Ya Know Yaseff 6/1, Having unseated on her first 2 starts over fences, wasn't disgraced under a forcing ride when fourth at Exeter (24.2f) in March. Had finished runner-up at Fakenham (23.4f) when last seen over hurdles in February, so she could get involved as she returns after a wind op. Made unconvincing start to chasing career in Feb/Mar but latest hurdle run provides hope.
3	3 |PU| (3) (25/1 -79%) Wildfire Warrior		25 25/1(-79%)																															(3) Wildfire Warrior 25/1, Winning hurdler but form went the wrong way over fences, offering little in only 2 starts last season and pulled up after 13 weeks off at Newton Abbot last month. Needs to get back on track reverted to hurdling with blinkers now reached for. Chasing has not gone to plan but he switches back to hurdling on a very tempting mark.

LTO Selection:

---

RUBYS REWARD has shown an improved level of form on her last couple of starts and the booking of Harry Cobden might help to make the difference required for her to gain a second career victory. Karavomylos got off the mark at Uttoxeter on his most recent outing and has to enter calculations off a 3lb higher mark. Racing Spirit and Ya Know Yaseff appeal most of the remainder.

KARAVOMYLOS has proved a different proposition stepped up in trip in handicaps this season, staying on well to open his account at Uttoxeter last time, and he can continue his progress to score again. Racing Spirit placed twice at this C&D last summer and could be the main danger, with Rubys Reward completing the shortlist.

If reinvigorated by the combination of first-time blinkers and a switch back to hurdling, WILDFIRE WARRIOR is on a very dangerous mark.

Tongue strap on for 1st time, below form sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good, 12/1) 21 days ago.

Switches from chase to hurdles. Plenty to find on form. Modest sort; bit better chasing latest but no real appeal.

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 28 lengths last of 4 to Cilaos Emery in listed chase at Thurles (22f, good to soft, 40/1). Off 19 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Old boy 3-35; absence and entry here both concerning, not in great nick when last seen.

Difficult ask. Ran vaguely to her mark twice this season but that not saying much; blinkers off..

COVENTRY, the highest-rated in the field, hasn't been at his best in recent outings but should have a good chance now dropped into a claimer. He was twice placed in staying handicaps in the autumn and ran well enough in mid-division in a competitive three-mile contest at Punchestown in February. He probably needed the run when not disgraced in a Flat handicap on Derby weekend and that should have teed him up nicely for this. Bal De Rio is a regular in this type of contest and his victory over Fancy A Cosmo at Punchestown reads well after that horse bolted up at Wexford on Friday. Denis Hogan's charge then ran well in a good handicap at Listowel before being placed in a claimer at Sligo. At the ripe old age of 14, My Manekineko won't be attracting many claims but he came home well to be a place behind Bal De Rio at Sligo and that was a good effort after seven months off. The veteran is more likely to give his running than many of these and has place claims.

The in-form BAL DE RIO looks the most reliable option. Gordon Elliott's pair Benz and Coventry have become disappointing but are feared on these terms.

BAL DE RIO managed recent claiming wins either side of a totally unexpected gamble in a competitive handicap at Ballinrobe. He can score

1	9 1st (9) (5/1 +75%) See My Baby Jive		5 5/1(+75%)																															(9) See My Baby Jive 5/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Below form sixth of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Needs first-time blinkers to perk her up. Held in two starts since returning and now 0-17; blinkers on.
2	10 2nd (10) (22/1 +21%) Earn Your Stripes		22 22/1(+21%)																															(10) Earn Your Stripes 22/1, C&D winner. 12/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 6 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Out of sorts this year and not easy to make a case for. 4lb lower than when winning over C&D last summer, but poor the last twice; visor on.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +33%) Caribbean Sunset		4 4/1(+33%)																															(2) Caribbean Sunset 4/1, Respectable effort despite not being seen to best effect when third of 15 in handicap (13/2) at Hamilton (6f, good) 11 days ago. Holding form well lately and seems likely to be on the premises once more. Has run well since switching to turf as when third at Hamilton last time; each-way claims.
4	4 4th (4) (3.5/1 +46%) Wrecked It Ralph		3.5 3.5/1(+46%)																															(4) Wrecked It Ralph 3.5/1, Course winner. 40/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 57 days ago, out of the weights and shaping as if better for the run. More realistic claims in this grade. Did well when dropped to 5f here last summer; may prefer the minimum trip now.
5th	3 5th (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Kraken Power		4.5 4.5/1(+0%)																															(3) Kraken Power 4.5/1, Respectable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good, 5/1) 47 days ago. Has been in good form for a while and can make his mark if things drop right. Consistent; looks the pick of the stable's trio, though others are still preferred.
6th	13 6th (13) (100/1 -100%) Genevieve		100 100/1(-100%)																															(13) Genevieve 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good, 50/1) 6 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Not finished within 11l of the winner in her first four starts; visor on.
7th	8 7th (8) (18/1 +64%) Roman Blaze		18 18/1(+64%)																															(8) Roman Blaze 18/1, Twelfth of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Newcastle (6f) 19 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. 0-7 with one piece of worthwhile form over this C&D, but little else; tongue-tie on.
8th	12 8th (12) (8.5/1 +53%) Oriental Lilly		8.5 8.5/1(+53%)																															(12) Oriental Lilly 8.5/1, C&D winner. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2021. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm, 40/1) 7 days ago. Doesn't make much appeal. 6lb lower than when winning a division of this race in 2021, but on a losing run of 27.
9th	11 9th (11) (6.5/1 +64%) Zegos Surprise		6.5 6.5/1(+64%)																															(11) Zegos Surprise 6.5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, firm, 22/1) 26 days ago, merely closing up late. Others more persuasive. Losing run up to 16 and not proving particularly consistent; look elsewhere.

Well treated in theory but hard to be sure that he'll build on that. 2lb lower than when winning last September but that his only success in his last 29 starts.

THE CALTONIAN improved beyond all recognition when runner-up over C&D on his handicap debut last month and this appeals as an ideal opportunity for him to go one better. Joe Fanning taking over in the saddle can only aid his cause and he may have too much for the relatively consistent Caribbean Sunset and Kraken Power, who wasn't beaten far over C&D in May. Flavius Titus and Wrecked It Ralph are also capable of being in the shake-up.

THE CALTONIAN is lightly raced and took a step forward despite displaying signs of lingering greenness when second over C&D last time, so he takes preference over the in-form Kraken Power, who was also placed here last time. Caribbean Sunset can't be discounted.

This can go to THE CALTONIAN (nap) following his narrow defeat by an in-form rival on handicap debut over C&D 16 days ago.

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +33%) Macs Dilemma		4 4/1(+33%)																															(2) Macs Dilemma 4/1, Two C&D wins last year, including this race. 5/2, respectable third of 6 over C&D (good to firm) 24 days ago. One to consider under Hollie Doyle. Won this race last year and he's only 1lb higher than for last success; dangerous.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/1 +10%) Raven's Applause		9 9/1(+10%)																															(8) Raven's Applause 9/1, Reacted well to cheekpieces when winning at Windsor (6f) in June but the headgear didn't work as well a second time when last of 7 at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 12 days later. Visor tried now. Won at Windsor (6f) but he flopped in his follow-up bid at Leicester; visor is now tried.

Potentially well handicapped and not discounted with Billy Loughnane taking a further 3 lb off. His last win was 18 months ago and he's finished down the field in his six runs this year.
3	10 3rd (10) (11/1 -10%) Local Bay		11 11/1(-10%)																															(10) Local Bay 11/1, Dual 7f winner at Southwell in February. 6/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Four-time AW winner but he's 0-10 on turf and others are more convincing.
5th	11 5th (11) (14/1 +58%) Voltaic		14 14/1(+58%)																															(11) Voltaic 14/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Off 4 months, ran poorly when ninth of 10 in handicap at Chester (7f, good) 10 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Has not won on turf since September 2021 and was tailed off at Chester ten days ago.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 +18%) Lunar Space		33 33/1(+18%)																															(7) Lunar Space 33/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 50/1) 13 days ago. Mark is tumbling but he's struggled for current yard and has a lot to prove.
7th	6 7th (6) (22/1 -83%) Iconic Knight		22 22/1(-83%)																															(6) Iconic Knight 22/1, Three-time C&D winner. Yet to fire this year but is starting to look well treated if staging a revival. Four-time course winner but he needs to turn things around back at this track.
8th	5 8th (5) (5.5/1 -22%) King Of The Dance		5.5 5.5/1(-22%)																															(5) King Of The Dance 5.5/1, Fair maiden. Stepped up on reappearance when good third of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Considered. Lightly raced 4yo who was third at Newbury last time and has claims if he can back that up.
9th	1 9th (1) (5.5/1 +45%) Liangel Hope		5.5 5.5/1(+45%)																															(1) Liangel Hope 5.5/1, Won on 7f Brighton reappearance in May. 9/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good) 58 days ago. Can make presence felt. Ran into trouble at Haydock and he could resume his progress on this drop back in grade.
3	3 |F| (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Bastogne		4.5 4.5/1(+0%)																															(3) Bastogne 4.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Two good runs in 7f handicaps for new yard this season and he should be in the mix again.
10th	9 10th (9) (12/1 -20%) Boxing Alex		12 12/1(-20%)																															(9) Boxing Alex 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in novice at Wolverhampton (7f) 14 days ago. Blinkers on first time now handicapping. Less exposed than most of these. Unexposed 3yo and he needs watching in the market on his handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

King of The Dance finished a creditable third over this distance at Newbury on his most recent outing and the gelded son of Havana Gold must hold every chance of being in the mix off the same mark. However, a tentative vote is given to the class-dropping ICONIC KNIGHT, who could bounce back following a disappointing run at Chester last month. Now rated 1lb lower than when only beaten a neck over C&D last August, he could be worth chancing. Macs Dilemma is another worthy of consideration.

LIANGEL HOPE shaped as if still in form when fifth at Haydock last time and might be up to giving the weight away. C&D specialist Macs Dilemma rates an obvious threat with Hollie Doyle doing the steering. King of The Dance is also respected on the back of his good third at Newbury, while Shoot To Kill has dropped to a favourable mark and has Billy Loughnane taking 3 lb off.

An open race in which the lightly raced 4yo KING OF THE DANCE gets the vote ahead of last year's winner Macs Dilemma.

1	5 1st (5) (3/1 -9%) Jack The Farmer		3 3/1(-9%)																															(5) Jack The Farmer 3/1, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs but has made the frame in all 5 starts for Nigel Hawke, again running well when second of 8 in handicap hurdle (10/3) at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Placed all five stable starts, most recent when clear second behind a next-time-out winner.
2	3 2nd (3) (18/1 -13%) Gastara		18 18/1(-13%)																															(3) Gastara 18/1, Encouraging start to chasing last season but ran no sort of race over fences here last month and has lots to prove reverting back to the smaller obstacles. Ran poorly in a chase here last time but is on a good mark and Brian Hughes is booked.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 -17%) Sheila Nash		14 14/1(-17%)																															(1) Sheila Nash 14/1, Won twice over C&D last summer for Harry Whittington but offered little on return for new yard in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, good) 19 days ago, dropping away before sixth. Bit to prove after that. Dual C&D winner last summer but ran no race here on recent stable debut.
4	10 4th (10) (80/1 -60%) Begoodtoyourself		80 80/1(-60%)																															(10) Begoodtoyourself 80/1, Lightly-raced over hurdles but seems to have gone sour as a chaser, tailed off before halfway at Southwell last time. Hard to fancy. Badly out of form over fences this season and stamina a possible issue on hurdling return.
5th	6 5th (6) (7.5/1 +25%) Walk In The Storm		7.5 7.5/1(+25%)																															(6) Walk In The Storm 7.5/1, Bumper winner made a promising start in handicaps when second at Ffos Las in March. Poor efforts both starts since, though, and others are preferred. Creditable second of 16 on handicap debut but two disappointing efforts have followed.
6th	12 6th (12) (10/1 +38%) Kimberley Eve		10 10/1(+38%)																															(12) Kimberley Eve 10/1, Showed her first form over hurdles when third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Well positioned on that occasion and now needs to back that up from 2 lb out the handicap. Needs to build upon her recent Southwell third but still has fairly low mileage.
7th	7 7th (7) (6/1 -71%) Hollow Ron		6 6/1(-71%)																															(7) Hollow Ron 6/1, Justified support when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) 32 days ago, kept up to work. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Unexposed over this trip and merits consideration. Came good when upped to 2m7f at Uttoxeter last month; might have more to offer.
8th	9 8th (9) (7.5/1 +6%) Robbie Dazzler		7.5 7.5/1(+6%)																															(9) Robbie Dazzler 7.5/1, Returned to form after a wind-op when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft, 5/1) 34 days ago. Solid place claims again from same mark. Comes here after very respectable fourth at Southwell last month; considered each-way.
9th	11 9th (11) (25/1 -39%) Ulysses		25 25/1(-39%)																															(11) Ulysses 25/1, Unreliable type. Course winner. 33/1, showed his first form for some time when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Others are still more persuasive. Didn't run badly here 12 days ago but overall profile remains unappealing.
10th	2 10th (2) (8/1 -60%) Top Man		8 8/1(-60%)																															(2) Top Man 8/1, Three-time winner who looked rusty on recent return at Warwick having been off 17 months. This should reveal more. Made low-key return from long layoff in May but might come on for the run.
4	4 |PU| (4) (4.5/1 +72%) Barnards Green		4.5 4.5/1(+72%)																															(4) Barnards Green 4.5/1, Showed fair form in bumpers but has struggled over hurdles, faring no better when thirteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) 65 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Placed in bumpers but has struggled over hurdles; had wind op; tongue-tie added today.

LTO Selection:

HOLLOW RON benefited from stepping up in trip when scoring for the first time at Uttoxeter last month and the application of cheekpieces for the first time may yield further progression. Jack The Farmer has been knocking on the door recently and he is likely to enter calculations once again, while Robbie Dazzler is capable of building on his recent fourth at Southwell.

JACK THE FARMER is a long-standing maiden but has posted a series of good efforts in defeat since joining Nigel Hawke and looks to have found a reasonable opportunity to get off the mark here. Hollow Ron produced an improved performance to score at Uttoxeter last time and rates as the most serious threat, with Robbie Dazzler making most appeal of the remainder.

Nigel Hawke's JACK THE FARMER (nap) drew clear of the others when second to a next-time-out winner in June and is only 1lb higher here.

1	5 1st (5) (33/1 +0%) Hazelhatch Lady		33 33/1(+0%)																															(5) Hazelhatch Lady 33/1, Bumper winner last summer but low-key start over hurdles, 16/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good) 19 days ago. Her surprise win in a Wexford bumper (2m4f, soft) is very much a standout.
2	11 2nd (11) (3/1 +40%) Skradin		3 3/1(+40%)																															(11) Skradin 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 4/1, creditable fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, soft) 60 days ago. Sets a solid standard. Has ability but official mark of 104 hints at limitations whilst kept to maiden company.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +11%) Onlyamatteroftime		2 2/1(+11%)																															(3) Onlyamatteroftime 2/1, Shaped with promise both starts over hurdles and won 15-runner bumper (25/1) at Punchestown (16.2f, good) on bumper debut 30 days ago, running on (second past the post but subsequently promoted).

Fourteenth of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft, 22/1) 29 days ago, slowly away. Switches from Flat to hurdles and not out of it on best form. Three-time Flat winner but well beaten at Navan (1m2f) last month and 0-9 as a hurdler.
5th	2 5th (2) (1.1/1 +63%) Minella Mate		1.1 1.1/1(+63%)																															(2) Minella Mate 1.1/1, Career best when winning 12-runner bumper (4/5) at Kilbeggan (16f, good) 21 days ago. Makes hurdles debut up in trip and has to be taken seriously. Made it fourth-time lucky in bumpers on good ground at Kilbeggan, justifying short odds.

Pulled up in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, soft, 40/1) on hurdles bow 60 days ago, pulled up second. Up in trip.

9th	15 9th (15) (80/1 -60%) Late Vocation		80 80/1(-60%)																															(15) Late Vocation 80/1, Eighth of 16 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16f, good, 150/1) on NH debut 29 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Finished midfield in a 2m maiden at Punchestown when 150-1.

Below form sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (23.6f, good, 100/1) 29 days ago. No more than minor promise thus far and handicaps are going to be more like it.
11th	8 11th (8) (25/1 -14%) Maple Meadow		25 25/1(-14%)																															(8) Maple Meadow 25/1, Dam, 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 29f) Lie Forrit and useful hurdler/chase winner (stayed 3m) Oscar Rose. 9,000euros foal; fourth foal; dam 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner.

LTO Selection:

ONLYAMATTEROFTIME had a couple of nice runs over hurdles, including behind the top-class Marine Nationale, before running in a Punchestown bumper last month. After coming out second best following a great scrap with a Willie Mullins-trained hotpot, the Getaway gelding was rightly promoted to first after suffering serious interference. There was talk of selling him afterwards but that obviously hasn't materialised and he should take a bit of beating here, with Aidan Kelly's valuable allowance only adding to his claims. With the exception of his last run, Scott Lang has been in good form on the level this year, including when finishing fourth at this venue in May, after which he was placed over hurdles at Punchestown. He was third over 2m3f at Clonmel last year on his only other hurdles outing. Minella Mate goes jumping for the first time after winning a Kilbeggan bumper and is from a French family full of winning hurdlers.

ONLYAMATTEROFTIME ran to a high figure when winning a Punchestown bumper a month ago and having shaped quite well over hurdles prior to that, he's fancied to follow up. Minella Mate also won a bumper last time and is a threat, with Skradin also likely to be involved.

There's very little depth to this and it's hard to get away from ONLYAMATTEROFTIME, who showed useful form in his latest bumper.

3	2 3rd (2) (3.5/1 -40%) Hadrian's Wall		3.5 3.5/1(-40%)																															(2) Hadrian's Wall 3.5/1, Once-raced colt. Second of 7 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 14/1) on debut 21 days ago, no match for winner. Sets a good standard. Promising debut second at Wolverhampton and he just about sets the standard on that form.
4	9 4th (9) (28/1 -133%) Another Gift		28 28/1(-133%)																															(9) Another Gift 28/1, Thrice-raced filly. 33/1, sixth of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) 21 days ago. Unlikely to feature. Well held at big prices in all three runs and remains best watched for now.
5th	1 5th (1) (5/1 -25%) Big Brown Bear		5 5/1(-25%)																															(1) Big Brown Bear 5/1, Twice-raced gelding. 9/2, second of 5 in maiden at Brighton (6f, soft) 20 days ago.

Looks more of a handicap type. Has plenty to find and he will be more interesting when switched to nurseries.
7th	5 7th (5) (33/1 +0%) Pinpoint		33 33/1(+0%)																															(5) Pinpoint 33/1, Twice-raced colt. 5/1, last of 9 in maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to struggle again. In good hands and still early days but he needs a transformation on this step up to 7f.
8th	6 8th (6) (25/1 +24%) Takeover Target		25 25/1(+24%)																															(6) Takeover Target 25/1, Once-raced colt. 17/2, sixth of 7 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 21 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Always in rear at Wolverhampton last month and he was 8l behind Hadrian's Wall.
10th	10 10th (10) (125/1 -25%) Aquifolia		125 125/1(-25%)																															(10) Aquifolia 125/1, Twice-raced filly. 80/1, sixth of 7 in maiden at this course (5.1f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hard to fancy. Has struggled in two runs at this track and she needs stacks of improvement upped to 7f.

LTO Selection:

Only narrowly denied over 6f at Brighton most recently, a stiffer stamina test can seal the deal for BIG BROWN BEAR. Eve Johnson Houghton's inmate shaped as though he can progress further here and he is fancied to get the better of Hadrian's Wall, who switches to turf following a promising showing on Tapeta on his racecourse debut last month. The unraced Per Contra completes the shortlist.

LOADED QUIVER makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and, if strong in the betting, he might be able to get the better of stablemate Hadrian's Wall, who sets the standard. Big Brown Bear is also considered.

The vote goes to BIG BROWN BEAR, who went very close at Brighton 20 days ago and is open to more progress on this step up to 7f.

9	9 (9) (1.25/1 +38%) Don'tstopthemusic		1.25 1.25/1(+38%)																															(9) Don'tstopthemusic 1.25/1, Promising sort. Eighth of 21 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft, 33/1) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Should improve. Eighth of 21 behind the very smart Dark Raven at Leopardstown over Christmas.
1	5 1st (5) (2.75/1 +83%) Timourid		2.75 2.75/1(+83%)																															(5) Timourid 2.75/1, Fairly useful winner at 10f on Flat. 12/1, last of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Unseated early on his hurdling debut nearly two years ago; Flat form needs respecting.

Switches from Flat to hurdles and displayed ability previous outing over timber. Fourth in a Gowran maiden last March but it's been low-grade stuff on the Flat since then.
3	7 3rd (7) (4/1 +78%) Stormy Jenn		4 4/1(+78%)																															(7) Stormy Jenn 4/1, Fairly useful Flat winner, making jumps debut. Second of 14 in handicap (11/2) at Down Royal (10.3f, good) 16 days ago. Only narrowly failed to register a third Flat win at Down Royal (1m2f, good) two weeks ago.

First run for yard after leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam. Hood on for hurdles debut and he possesses the raw ability to be a threat. Dual Flat winner (7f/1m) for Peter Chapple-Hyam and ran to a fair level.
5th	10 5th (10) (11/1 +67%) Electric Eddy		11 11/1(+67%)																															(10) Electric Eddy 11/1, 80/1, seventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 48 days ago. 80-1 when beaten just under 40l in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown in May.
6th	6 6th (6) (33/1 +67%) Rushford		33 33/1(+67%)																															(6) Rushford 33/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. 125/1, twelfth of 17 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good) 35 days ago. Flat ability catches the eye but it's been a very quiet start over hurdles.
7th	13 7th (13) (18/1 +64%) Longagoanfarbehind		18 18/1(+64%)																															(13) Longagoanfarbehind 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, soft, 66/1) 60 days ago. Questionable what he achieved when third in a Sedgefield bumper; poor since.
8th	3 8th (3) (10/1 +80%) Pretty Soldier		10 10/1(+80%)																															(3) Pretty Soldier 10/1, Fair Flat winner, making jumps debut. 16/1, first run since leaving C. Von Der Recke when seventh of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, good) on IRE debut 16 days ago. Showed enough on the Flat (inc stable debut) to believe he could make a hurdler.
9th	16 9th (16) (6/1 +82%) No Risk No Story		6 6/1(+82%)																															(16) No Risk No Story 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (21.7f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Brian M. McMahon. The switch to Charles Byrnes heightens interest but has a lot to prove.
10th	12 10th (12) (100/1 +0%) Jimmy Mcgill		100 100/1(+0%)																															(12) Jimmy Mcgill 100/1, 100/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Limerick (11.2f, soft) 79 days ago.

DON'TSTOPTHEMUSIC will be carrying the colours of Roscommon native Sean Mulryan and his wife Bernardine, and Martin Brassil has probably had this race in mind for some time. The Kayf Tara gelding was eighth of 21 in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle won by Supreme sixth Dark Raven at Christmas and the second, fourth, fifth and sixth have all won maidens since. Now fitted with a tongue-tie, fitness is no concern coming from this yard and the half-brother to Champion Chase winner Dodging Bullets will be hard to beat. Sherodan, a smooth winner of a bumper at Tipperary two years ago, is the other one to focus on. He clearly hasn't been straightforward to train but made an encouraging return from a 21-month absence when second to a useful type on hurdling debut at Ballinrobe. A premier handicap winner at the Curragh on Guineas weekend, Timourid has just a second run over hurdles here and may be better for the experience having departed early on his first try over flights at Ballinrobe two years ago.

SHERODAN has wisely been given time to recover on the back of a promising hurdles debut following a lengthy absence and he will take plenty of stopping. Don'tstopthemusic has a bigger performance in him and is feared, while Fast Medicine's Flat ability makes him dangerous.

Sherodan is the solid option but DON'TSTOPTHEMUSIC was not disgraced in a hot maiden during Leopardstown's Christmas meeting.

Fared as well as could be expected when 8¼ lengths twelfth of 26 to Crimson Advocate in Queen Mary Stakes (40/1) at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Leading claims down in class.

5th	7 5th (7) (14/1 +44%) Carnaby Princess		14 14/1(+44%)																															(7) Carnaby Princess 14/1, Showed a bit more than on debut when seventh of 10 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 28/1) 9 days ago, met some trouble when making a forward move. Made promising late progress over C&D on debut; possible non-stayer over 7f since.

Does not have a solid chance on form; first run beyond 5f.
7th	9 7th (9) (100/1 -150%) Roswood		100 100/1(-150%)																															(9) Roswood 100/1, Little in the way of promise when eleventh of 13 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) on debut 21 days ago. Needs to improve markedly on her Carlisle debut effort.

Narrowly denied on her racecourse debut at Redcar in May, GEOLOGIST wasn't disgraced when finishing 12th in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and she gets the vote on the drop in grade. The step back up in trip is another plus and she can see off the likes of Bellarchi, and Arizona Desert, who ran a highly-encouraging race on debut at Wetherby last month.

Having found only one too good on debut, GEOLOGIST fared about as well as could be expected when mid-field in the Queen Mary. Eased markedly in class and returned to 6f, she looks the answer, with Bellarchi and Arizona Desert feared most.

Back down in class GEOLOGIST holds a leading chance on the figures. Arizona Desert is second choice ahead of Bellarchi.

2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 -100%) She Is A Keeper		9 9/1(-100%)																															(4) She Is A Keeper 9/1, Twice-raced filly. 5/1, failed to improve from debut third of 7 in minor event at Bath (5.7f, firm) 12 days ago. Others preferred. Two promising efforts last month but she needs improvement on this step back up in trip.
3	5 3rd (5) (28/1 -27%) Moe's Legacy		28 28/1(-27%)																															(5) Moe's Legacy 28/1, Twice-raced filly. 100/1, still very green but showed more than debut when fourth of 7 in minor event at Bath (5.7f, firm) 12 days ago.

Below that level meeting firmer ground when sixth of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 42 days ago. The one to beat if able to bounce back.

Green when second of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW, 14/1) on debut 21 days ago, not knocked about. Should improve. Made a promising start when runner-up from a wide draw at Lingfield last month; respected.

LTO Selection:

A fairly open contest in which preference lies with PRESSURE'S ON. A half-brother to Listed-placed Crackovia, the son of Land Force is fancied to score on his turf bow following a promising second at Lingfield last month. Ethandun may bounce back from a mid-division finish at Windsor on his most recent outing, having finished runner-up at Goodwood on debut, while She Is A Keeper is another to bear in mind up in distance.

ETHANDUN failed to immediately progress from a promising debut at Windsor last time but his Goodwood effort still sets a clear standard in form terms and he's worth another chance. Pressure's On did well despite obvious inexperience on his debut at Lingfield and can pose a threat, with Gladly Ever After also much respected for Archie Watson.

This race revolves around ETHANDUN, who didn't fire at Windsor last time but is a major player if he can recapture his initial form.

1	7 1st (7) (1/1 +0%) Williamstowndancer		1 1/1(+0%)																															(7) Williamstowndancer 1/1, Promising type. 8/11, career best when winning 13-runner maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 52 days ago, edging ahead before last. Seems sure to go well with improvement on the cards. Bumper winner placed in Grade 2 at Aintree; RPR of 130 on hurdling debut at Downpatrick.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +18%) Lucid Dreams		4.5 4.5/1(+18%)																															(1) Lucid Dreams 4.5/1, Off the mark at Ballinrobe in May and took a big step forward upped in trip when following up in 4-runner novice hurdle readily at this course (20.7f, good to soft, 11/8) 4 weeks ago, leading 2 out. Back down in distance and may well do better. Promising before RPRs 130 in Ballinrobe, course wins, suggesting he is trip-versatile.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 +33%) Bowmore		3 3/1(+33%)																															(2) Bowmore 3/1, 5/6, improved further after 6 months off to get off the mark in 11-runner maiden hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good) 19 days ago, leading on bridle 2 out and easing clear. Should have more to offer. Progressive sort entitled to win at Wexford latest; in top hands; this much more demanding.
4	3 4th (3) (33/1 +0%) Walhaan		33 33/1(+0%)																															(3) Walhaan 33/1, Ran respectably back up in trip after 10 weeks off when sixth of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Naas (8f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Fairly useful hurdler, poor on last run. Beaten about 41l both runs hurdling since Leopardstown maiden win in March; risky so.
5th	5 5th (5) (18/1 -157%) This Songisforyou		18 18/1(-157%)																															(5) This Songisforyou 18/1, Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. Out of depth when sixth of 8 in bumper (40/1) at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 5 months ago. Makes hurdles debut and worth a market check for a trainer who certainly knows the time of day. Galway bumper winner; chances are he is Galway-bound and this tough hurdling introduction.
6th	4 6th (4) (18/1 -29%) Extrapolation		18 18/1(-29%)																															(4) Extrapolation 18/1, Winner in bumper at Downpatrick in May. Last of 6 in bumper at the Curragh (16f, good, 15/8) 33 days ago. Made a promising hurdling debut when runner-up at Punchestown in May and not taken lightly back in this sphere. RPR of 127 on hurdling debut in Punchestown second; flopped at Curragh but better likely.
7th	6 7th (6) (6/1 +29%) Katou		6 6/1(+29%)																															(6) Katou 6/1, Shaped with promise in a bumper 6 months earlier and made a successful debut over hurdles in 13-runner maiden at Tramore (16.8f, good) 37 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Open to progress. Beat stablemate of Bowmore, Tramore; can jump better; stable jockey on Williamstowndancer.
8th	8 8th (8) (250/1 +0%) Fanta Magic		250 250/1(+0%)																															(8) Fanta Magic 250/1, Never a threat after 14 months off when eleventh of 18 in maiden hurdle at Listowel (16f, good, 200/1) 5 weeks ago. Can only be watched. No realistic chance here.

LTO Selection:

WILLIAMSTOWNDANCER should continue her upward curve by making it two from two over flights. A smart bumper mare, who finished third in Grade 2 company at Aintree on her penultimate start, she didn't have to be at her best to easily land the odds on her hurdling debut at Downpatrick recently. Although faced with a much stiffer assignment now, it will be a surprise if the Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old isn't up to the task. Lucid Dreams has won two of his three runs over hurdles, including at this track last time. Despite dropping back in distance, he looks sure to make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick. Extrapolation ran well below expectations at the Curragh last time but that is unlikely to have been his true running. The Mahler gelding is capable of much better if back on song.

Cases can be made for several but WILLIAMSTOWNDANCER made a successful transition to hurdling at Downpatrick in May and with further progress on the cards, she can remain unbeaten in this sphere. Lucid Dreams arrives chasing a hat-trick so he may well emerge as the main danger, ahead of the selection's stablemate Katou and hurdling debutant This Songisforyou.

A classy race. WILLIAMSTOWNDANCER gets 11lbs off Lucid Dreams and seems preferred at home to Katou. Extrapolation is noted

1	1 1st (1) (0.12/1 +14%) Kathab		0.12 0.12/1(+14%)																															(1) Kathab 0.12/1, Shaped encouragingly at Newmarket and York on first 2 starts. Upped in distance, not ideally placed when fifth of 7 in maiden at Sandown (10f, good to firm, 11/2) 23 days ago. The one to beat down markedly in class. Hasn't made the expected progress but he's well clear on the figures in this weak race.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 +33%) Sanction		6 6/1(+33%)																															(4) Sanction 6/1, Hasn't offered much in a pair of minor events this year, seventh of 10 at Newmarket (1m, good, 14/1) 10 days ago. However, she's bred to be better than what she's shown so far. May improve in this weaker field but has a lot to find with stablemate Kathab.
4	3 4th (3) (66/1 +34%) On Sabbatical		66 66/1(+34%)																															(3) On Sabbatical 66/1, Showed little in 2 starts last summer, ninth of 11 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 100/1) on the second occasion. Up against it after 11 months off. Has the worst chance on form and lacks recent match practice.

LTO Selection:

---

KATHAB has been a shade disappointing since a promising runner-up effort in the Wood Ditton on debut, but he should find this to be easier as he looks to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. The son of Kingman sets a lofty standard on ratings and is readily preferred to stablemate Sanction, while newcomer Knights Affair may need further in time.

Having shown encouragement on his first 2 starts, KATHAB wasn't ideally placed when only fifth at Sandown on his latest outing, so he can get back on track as he returns to 1m. This looks a good opportunity for the son of Kingman to open his account, with stablemate Sanction the one who could give him most to think about.

This looks a straightforward task for KATHAB who sets a clear standard on all three efforts. Stablemate Sanction is next best.

1	8 1st (8) (3/1 +25%) Bama Lama		3 3/1(+25%)																															(8) Bama Lama 3/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable 2¼ lengths third of 8 to The Cola Kid in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, good, 5/1) 6 days ago. Hard to fancy for win purposes. In-form 5yo who was placed behind The Cola Kid at Ffos Las last week; in the mix again.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 +23%) Hagia Sophia		5 5/1(+23%)																															(3) Hagia Sophia 5/1, C&D winner. 17/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 30 days ago, very slowly away. Likely to be thereabouts. C&D winner who was an eyecatching fourth back at this track last month; dangerous.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 -20%) Malham Tarn Cove		9 9/1(-20%)																															(6) Malham Tarn Cove 9/1, 3/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, shaped as if still in form when third of 8 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good) 11 days ago. Back up in trip. Merits consideration. Third in sprint handicaps at Leicester last twice and he still has potential; dangerous.
4	7 4th (7) (2/1 +27%) The Cola Kid		2 2/1(+27%)																															(7) The Cola Kid 2/1, Won 8-runner handicap (6/4) at Ffos Las (6f, good) 6 days ago. Should go in again if the race doesn't come too soon. Comfortable win at Ffos Las last week and he's only 2lb higher here; strong contender.
5th	2 5th (2) (6/1 -9%) Kyber Crystal		6 6/1(-9%)																															(2) Kyber Crystal 6/1, Won 10-runner handicap (16/1) at this course (5.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Hard to know if she'll be in the same mood but remains well treated on her best form. Off the mark with a last-gasp win over 5f here last month; respected back up in trip.
6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 -83%) Lynwood Lad		22 22/1(-83%)																															(4) Lynwood Lad 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, last of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, heavy) 63 days ago. Something to prove at present. Still unexposed but he needs a transformation after a short break.
7th	9 7th (9) (33/1 +0%) Dillydingdillydong		33 33/1(+0%)																															(9) Dillydingdillydong 33/1, Fifth of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f, 28/1). Off 130 days. Must improve. Regressive 13-race maiden and his mark has bottomed out; others preferred.
8th	5 8th (5) (14/1 -17%) Pull The Lever		14 14/1(-17%)																															(5) Pull The Lever 14/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 14/1) 13 days ago, slowly away. Well treated and latest effort was a small step back in the right direction, so not discounted. 11-race maiden with a record of 07579804 in handicaps at up to 1m; others preferred.
9th	1 9th (1) (20/1 -67%) Neptune Legend		20 20/1(-67%)																															(1) Neptune Legend 20/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. 14/1, last of 7 in handicap at Bath (5f, firm) 12 days ago. Back up in trip. Struggling for form of late. On much-reduced mark but sole win was in August 2021 and others are more convincing.

LTO Selection:

---

THE COLA KID made amends for his short-head defeat at Ffos Las when dropped back in trip at the same venue and the six-year-old, who is 2lb higher for the runner-up effort, escapes a penalty for that success, having won an apprentice contest. Bama Lama finished third to the selection on Tuesday and is expected to be in the mix, while recent course winner Kyber Crystal is feared most of the remainder.

THE COLA KID had something to spare when landing an 8-runner event at Ffos Las a week ago and is the obvious choice. Fellow last-time-out winner Kyber Crystal looks the main danger, although Hagia Sophia is expected to put up another solid showing.

This can go to THE COLA KID (nap), who is only 2lb higher than for his easy win in an apprentice handicap at Ffos Las last week.

Off 9 months. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. RESERVE. Reserve; Wexford winner last September off 4lb lower, showing improved form.
1	8 1st (8) (3.5/1 +22%) Presenting Lad		3.5 3.5/1(+22%)																															(8) Presenting Lad 3.5/1, Course winner. One win from 27 NH runs. Good ¾-length second of 15 to Only One Plan in handicap hurdle (5/2) at this course (16.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Expected to be bang there. C&D winner who was second in this 12 months ago off a similar mark; positive latest run.

Significantly down in trip. She ran poorly most recently and this trip is on the sharp side.
3	13 3rd (13) (20/1 +39%) Benefit Run		20 20/1(+39%)																															(13) Benefit Run 20/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2020. 11/1, last of 4 in handicap chase at Ayr (16.5f, good to soft) 146 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. 11yo who lacks a recent run and hasn't won since 2020; others safer.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 +29%) Downtherefordancin		10 10/1(+29%)																															(2) Downtherefordancin 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 84 days ago. Showed a bit more on his switch to handicaps at Tramore; may have more to offer.
5th	12 5th (12) (5/1 -43%) Only One Plan		5 5/1(-43%)																															(12) Only One Plan 5/1, Career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at this course (16.2f, good to soft, 9/2) 28 days ago by ¾ length from the reopposing Presenting Lad. Tongue strap on 1st time. Should go well. Had his consistency rewarded when edging out Presenting Lad over C&D four weeks ago.
6th	14 6th (14) (14/1 +0%) Inchiquin Star		14 14/1(+0%)																															(14) Inchiquin Star 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Listowel (16f, good) 35 days ago. Plenty of placed form but remains a maiden and she ran no race last time out.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 +60%) Dontdooddson		16 16/1(+60%)																															(7) Dontdooddson 16/1, First run since leaving Eoin Christopher McCarthy when seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Clonmel (20f, good, 25/1) 31 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Down in trip. Infrequent winner and better known as a chaser these days; quiet after an absence.
8th	3 8th (3) (11/1 +0%) Hi Ski		11 11/1(+0%)																															(3) Hi Ski 11/1, Winner in hurdle at Tipperary in May. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, good, 6/1) 35 days ago. Probably ran her race when fourth at Listowel and might be high in the weights.
9th	11 9th (11) (33/1 -106%) Jeriko De Baune		33 33/1(-106%)																															(11) Jeriko De Baune 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.6f, good, 50/1) 38 days ago. Should have more to offer in handicaps. Handicap debutant but not an obvious contender on the strength of his maiden form.
10th	16 10th (16) (50/1 -100%) Cornmarket		50 50/1(-100%)																															(16) Cornmarket 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 12 in maiden at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good, 150/1) 14 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Tailed off in Flat maiden 2 weeks ago; maiden efforts over hurdles nothing to shout about.
11th	5 11th (5) (9/1 +64%) Downthecellar		9 9/1(+64%)																															(5) Downthecellar 9/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good to soft, 18/1) 23 days ago. Four chase wins; well treated on that; ground too soft on recent return to hurdling.
12th	4 12th (4) (18/1 +10%) Malbas		18 18/1(+10%)																															(4) Malbas 18/1, Bit below form seventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.3f, good, 40/1), not knocked about. Off 9 months. Needs a couple of these to falter. 0-14 hurdling; final run last year was satisfactory but no more than that.
13th	9 13th (9) (12/1 -20%) Princess Sophia		12 12/1(-20%)																															(9) Princess Sophia 12/1, Winner in hurdle at Punchestown in May but ran no sort of race at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) since. Bounce back needed. Hood helped when winning at Punchestown but she then ran no race at Kilbeggan.
14th	10 14th (10) (12/1 -20%) Blackberry Jack		12 12/1(-20%)																															(10) Blackberry Jack 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fourth of 14 in maiden at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good to soft, 7/2). Off 12 months. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Not taken lightly. Hinted at winning potential over hurdles; ran well in two Flat maidens last summer.
15th	1 15th (1) (9/1 +10%) Know The Game		9 9/1(+10%)																															(1) Know The Game 9/1, Winner in chase at Naas in December. 5/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap chase at Tipperary (17f, good to soft) 67 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Looks competitive on form. Running with distinction over fences and has to be considered off this lower hurdle mark.

LTO Selection:

---

Just three-parts of a length separated ONLY ONE PLAN and Presenting Lad when they clashed here last month, with the Philip Rothwell-trained former coming out on top. With James O'Sullivan claiming a valuable 5lb, the selection is slightly better off at the weights now and can confirm the form, fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time. Ross O'Sullivan saddles Hi Ski and Benefit Run and they both have solid claims. Owned and bred by Patrick Molloy, the former is given second preference. She was successful at Tipperary on her penultimate start and since finished a close fourth at Listowel. Princess Sophia showed signs of coming into season after disappointing at Kilbeggan last month and she might be able to redeem herself now. A case can be made for many others in this competitive affair, with Downtherefordancin, Up And Out, Blackberry Jack and Know The Game a few for the shortlist.

PRESENTING LAD bounced back to his best when chasing home Only One Plan here 4 weeks ago and a 3 lb swing in the weights might be enough for him to turn the tables on his old rival. Hi Ski and Know The Game are a couple of others for the shortlist, while Steps In The Sand would also enter the reckoning if getting a run.

The 7yo PRESENTING LAD was runner-up in this 12 months ago and could well reverse recent course placings with Only One Plan.

One to consider. Most wins at 7f; ran respectably back over 1m last time; each-way hopes.

6th	2 6th (2) (5.5/1 +35%) Global Spirit		5.5 5.5/1(+35%)																															(2) Global Spirit 5.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago. Well treated granted a return to best; 6lb below last winning mark.
7th	10 7th (10) (10/1 -11%) Little Ted		10 10/1(-11%)																															(10) Little Ted 10/1, Unreliable type. Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good, 7/2) 17 days ago but he typically looked a little awkward under pressure. Placed twice last month; dual winner at this course; possibilities back here.
8th	8 8th (8) (10/1 +17%) Zumurud		10 10/1(+17%)																															(8) Zumurud 10/1, Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 55 days ago. Back on last winning mark and the booking of Tom Marquand catches the eye. Last win came off this mark at Nottingham 12 months ago; one to consider.
9th	5 9th (5) (8/1 -33%) Diamond Haze		8 8/1(-33%)																															(5) Diamond Haze 8/1, 6/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, good) 35 days ago. Ought to be competitive again. Has gained both wins at Thirsk; placed off 3lb higher on sole attempt here.
10th	6 10th (6) (22/1 -120%) Asdaa		22 22/1(-120%)																															(6) Asdaa 22/1, 17/2, fifth of 6 in handicap at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) 27 days ago. Others more persuasive. Balance of recent form suggests he can be opposed.

LTO Selection:

---

This can go the way of SAISONS D'OR, who has run very well the last twice without getting his head in front. The eight-year-old may not have won on turf since May last year, but he is now 5lb lower than that mark and gets the vote ahead of the recent course second Cosmos Raj. Copper And Five is another to note, while completing the shortlist are the likes of Diamond Haze, Ey Up Its The Boss and Little Ted.

COSMAJ RAJ added to his good course record when second over slightly further here last month and is taken to build on that and go one better this evening. Saisons D'or is respected on the back of 2 placed efforts last month, while Zumurud is back on a winning mark and the booking of Tom Marquand suggests that a bold run might be on the cards.

Well-handicapped COSMOS RAJ is taken to record a third course success. Little Ted is second choice.

Return to this distance should help. 33-1 win here (5f) on his seasonal return but he's not matched that in two runs since.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/1 -20%) Barleybrown		9 9/1(-20%)																															(7) Barleybrown 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 22 days ago, slowly away. Lightly raced and may do better yet. Still unexposed but he needs improvement on this drop to 6f.
4	9 4th (9) (50/1 -25%) Glamorous Star		50 50/1(-25%)																															(9) Glamorous Star 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, first run since leaving Ronald Harris when fifth of 6 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive. Well held in all four runs and she needs to do much better on this step back up to 6f.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 -167%) Arlecchino's Gift		12 12/1(-167%)																															(6) Arlecchino's Gift 12/1, 22/1, won 12-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Remains well treated but hard to know if he'll back that up. Got back in the groove with a strong-finishing win at Windsor last time; respected up 4lb.
6th	2 6th (2) (28/1 +0%) De Vegas Kid		28 28/1(+0%)																															(2) De Vegas Kid 28/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Last of 10 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. Looks out of form. His last win was at 1m and he's failed to beat a rival in two 6f handicaps this season.
7th	4 7th (4) (3.6/1 +10%) Autumnal Breeze		3.6 3.6/1(+10%)																															(4) Autumnal Breeze 3.6/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (5f, good, 6/1) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan. Has a bit to prove starting out for new yard but this is a drop in grade. Well held in final two runs in Ireland and has bit to prove at new trip for new yard.
8th	1 8th (1) (6.5/1 +0%) The Daley Express		6.5 6.5/1(+0%)																															(1) The Daley Express 6.5/1, Third of 13 in handicap (20/1) at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 54 days ago. Every chance if he can build on that in this lesser grade. 9yo who was placed at Bath last time and has claims if he can build on that.

LTO Selection:

---

ON EDGE shaped with promise on his first run of the year when third at Windsor in April and appears to be open to improvement following that performance. He is lightly raced for his age, having only had 10 outings to date, and his sole career victory came over C&D last August. Barleybrown was fancied to give a solid account on his handicap bow at Salisbury and is worth another chance dropped in trip. The Daley Express and Arlecchino's Gift complete the shortlist.

THE DALEY EXPRESS looked back in form when third at Bath last time and, in a weaker contest, he's fancied to capitalise on a reduced mark at the possible expense of Arlecchino's Gift, who arrives on the back of a success at Windsor but isn't the most reliable.

Preference is for THE DALEY EXPRESS, who is on a dangerous mark and showed signs of a revival with his third at Bath last time.

1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +11%) Steps Match		4 4/1(+11%)																															(4) Steps Match 4/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Fifth of 16 in handicap chase at Wexford (25.3f, good to soft, 8/1) 20 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers back on. Not completely dismissed. Engaged 4.55 Sligo Sunday.

Pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (24f, good, 6/1) 30 days ago, not fluent tenth. Switches from chase to hurdles. Potentially well treated in this sphere. Had legitimate excuse for Punchestown flop latest and won two of previous three chasing.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 +20%) Rebel Ruler		16 16/1(+20%)																															(9) Rebel Ruler 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel. Off 14 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving David Kenneth Budds. Plenty to prove. Modest; new yard 6pc strike-rate last five seasons, 1-3 this term; her stamina looks iffy.
6th	10 6th (10) (25/1 +62%) Church Lane		25 25/1(+62%)																															(10) Church Lane 25/1, 33/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy) 102 days ago. Hard to fancy. Mare has shown next to nothing; break will need to have transformed.

Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers back on. Little sign of ability; notably only 17-2 in handicap chase latest, pulled up.
8th	11 8th (11) (100/1 -25%) Coppercoast Paudie		100 100/1(-25%)																															(11) Coppercoast Paudie 100/1, 50/1, fifteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cork (19f, heavy).

9th	1 9th (1) (9/1 +64%) Fill The Tank		9 9/1(+64%)																															(1) Fill The Tank 9/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Seventeenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft, 50/1) 65 days ago. Doesn't seem the force of old. C&D winner; long time since he showed anything of note; great chance if restored to best.
10th	12 10th (12) (9/1 +89%) He Ain't Heavy		9 9/1(+89%)																															(12) He Ain't Heavy 9/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Punchestown (19.4f, good to soft) 48 days ago, losing place when bad mistake 2 out. Back up in trip. Series of handicap flops suggest another; back up to 3m.
11th	5 11th (5) (20/1 -82%) Asatisfiedmind		20 20/1(-82%)																															(5) Asatisfiedmind 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1, unseated rider in novice chase at Punchestown (24f, good) on debut over fences 29 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut and needs to improve. Hard weigh up 7yo who raced little; handicap debut, blinkers; yard 8-159 last five seasons.
12th	6 12th (6) (66/1 -65%) Mrs Macker		66 66/1(-65%)																															(6) Mrs Macker 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, broke blood vessel when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.4f, good to soft) 138 days ago.

Off 10 months. Blinkered for 1st time. Little or nothing to take from previous efforts; layoff and new headgear to consider too.

LTO Selection:

A wide-open contest with no standout name in the line-up. OCEAN LEGACY couldn't be described as consistent, but she has won two of her last four and reverts to flights now for the first time since February of last year. Rated 11lb higher over fences, the six-year-old should be able to make an impact in a contest of this quality. Kilmurry Jj is sure to prove popular with punters and is given second preference. Trained in Co Cork by Michael 'Trixie' Barry, he went down by just a neck at Tramore last month and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. It's interesting that connections are persisting with Stowaway Lass, who has a lengthy layoff to overcome. Trained by the shrewd Sam Curling, she makes her debut in handicap company and is probably best watched on what will be her first start in exactly three years. With Rachael Blackmore aboard, Mastermind warrants respect, while others for the shortlist are Mine Me Will He and C&D winner Fill The Tank.

This is an incredibly thin race and KILMURRY JJ comfortably makes the most appeal on account of the fact that he's the only one that arrives on the back of a good effort. Ocean Legacy and Steps Match could also feature.

Poor stuff. KILMURRY JJ (nap) has a great chance if getting home but Ocean Legacy has to have her backers also

1	5 1st (5) (1.88/1 +46%) Coverdale		1.88 1.88/1(+46%)																															(5) Coverdale 1.88/1, Promising type who improved another chunk when completing hat-trick in 5-runner handicap (10/11) at Haydock (10.2f, firm) 26 days ago. Takes on his elders for first time but has to enter calculations. 3-3 since being gelded and upped to 1m2f; improving 3yo who commands respect.
2	6 2nd (6) (4.5/1 +50%) Perfect Play		4.5 4.5/1(+50%)																															(6) Perfect Play 4.5/1, Latest win at Chester in May and just about better than ever when second of 7 in handicap (13/8) at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 17 days ago, having run of race but nicely clear of the remainder. Mostly progressive this term; clear second last time; should go well again.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/1 +9%) My Little Queens		10 10/1(+9%)																															(4) My Little Queens 10/1, Doubled tally for the season at Hamilton in May. 7/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time and she's likely to give her running. Has possibilities if first-time headgear ekes out more progress from her.
4	1 4th (1) (5.5/1 -38%) Baryshnikov		5.5 5.5/1(-38%)																															(1) Baryshnikov 5.5/1, C&D winner. Caught the eye several times this season, third of 8 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 11/4) 17 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Back up in trip. Expected to be bang there if getting a pace to aim at. Solid record at Ripon; unlucky on most recent course visit; enters calculations.
5th	2 5th (2) (8.5/1 +29%) Piecederesistance		8.5 8.5/1(+29%)																															(2) Piecederesistance 8.5/1, Free goer who turned in another respectable sixth of 15 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Drop back in trip looks a good move. This drop back in distance looks ideal; won off 2lb higher over 1m2f last July.
6th	8 6th (8) (4.5/1 -13%) Merry Minister		4.5 4.5/1(-13%)																															(8) Merry Minister 4.5/1, Continued theme of race-by-race progress when landing 9-runner novice event at Thirsk (7f, soft) 20 days ago, driven out. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Should have more to offer. 7f winner last time; open to further progress; siblings include a 1m2f winner.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 +30%) Oh So Charming		14 14/1(+30%)																															(9) Oh So Charming 14/1, Redcar novice winner on second juvenile start in October. 13/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 11 days ago. Down in trip, which may help but he needs more from this mark. Has a promising record on turf; one to consider back in this sphere.

LTO Selection:

---

COVERDALE arrives having made it three on the bounce at Haydock on his latest start and the manner of that victory suggested he could have more to offer, despite a 4lb rise from the handicapper. Merry Minister got off the mark at the third attempt at Thirsk last month and an opening mark of 80 appears to be workable. Coco Jack ran with credit at Royal Ascot and is respected along with My Little Queens.

Conceding plenty of weight to the 3-y-os won't be easy, but BARYSHNIKOV has been shaping up well all season and in the hope he gets a good pace to aim at, he can gain a deserved success. Coverdale and Perfect Play take on their elders for the first time and are just a couple of potential threats.

All of the 3yos can be viewed positively but, back at Ripon, the 7yo BARYSHNIKOV may be able to beat those younger rivals.

1	4 1st (4) (1.88/1 +32%) Zillion		1.88 1.88/1(+32%)																															(4) Zillion 1.88/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton 21 days ago. Eased another 2 lb and Hollie Doyle takes the ride again. Returning here can only be a good thing and he ran okay on the AW three weeks ago.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.25/1 +10%) Tin Fandango		2.25 2.25/1(+10%)																															(1) Tin Fandango 2.25/1, Good third of 6 in handicap at Ffos Las (2m, good) 6 days ago. Back on a winning mark and respected. Decent run last week at Ffos Las in a race that wasn't run to suit.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 -9%) Winklevi		6 6/1(-9%)																															(2) Winklevi 6/1, Course winner. Below par back on turf in May but fared better when fourth in Jersey last month. More than capable off this mark. Below his best of late (Jersey last time) but he's a multiple winner on a good mark.
4	8 4th (8) (10/1 +38%) Guilty Party		10 10/1(+38%)																															(8) Guilty Party 10/1, Poor maiden. 66/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (1¾m, good to soft) 67 days ago. Others are more obvious. Stays 2m and has some ability, but at 66-1 she dropped right away at Salisbury last time.
5th	7 5th (7) (5.5/1 +0%) Ocean Reach		5.5 5.5/1(+0%)																															(7) Ocean Reach 5.5/1, Won at Ffos Las in August 2021. Best run since returning from an absence when fourth of 6 in 2m Ffos Las handicap last week. Claims if she can build on that. 1-36; found wanting last week at Ffos Las despite having the run of things up front.
6th	5 6th (5) (22/1 +0%) Duchess		22 22/1(+0%)																															(5) Duchess 22/1, No impact since coming over from France. Can only be watched until showing more. Seven defeats in France and hasn't shown all that much for her current yard.
7th	6 7th (6) (18/1 -50%) Alramz		18 18/1(-50%)																															(6) Alramz 18/1, Placed over hurdles last summer but out of sorts in that sphere when last seen at the end of 2022. One of 2 runners from the stable. Best watched unless the betting vibes are strong. Sole win in 32 was over hurdles two years ago; ended 2022 tamely.

LTO Selection:

This is a tricky puzzle to solve and only a tentative vote goes to TIN FANDANGO (third), who had Ocean Reach (fourth) behind him when he was beaten over three lengths on his latest outing at Ffos Las. He remains on his last winning mark and that could help notch up his fourth career success. The main threat might be Zillion, who wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth at Wolverhampton last time on his return from a 59-day break and could get closer now down in grade.

TIN FANDANGO is down to the same mark as when scoring at Newbury last autumn and gets the nod on the back of a better run at Ffos Las last week. Zillion has gained both career wins here and is respected with Hollie Doyle doing the steering. Winklevi didn't run too badly on a recent trip to Jersey and is another who could have a say.

All of these find winning opportunities hard to come by. TIN FANDANGO edges preference as last week's Ffos Las effort can be upgraded.

Beaten in the region of 20l in Punchestown maiden hurdle and Sligo bumper; has to step up.
4	11 4th (11) (40/1 -60%) Pampar Lady		40 40/1(-60%)																															(11) Pampar Lady 40/1, 16/1, tenth of 13 in bumper at Kilbeggan (15.1f, good to soft) on NH debut 81 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Hooded for 1st time. Outpaced when it mattered but showed something at Kilbeggan, beaten 14l at the finish.
5th	9 5th (9) (50/1 +0%) Zoomtime		50 50/1(+0%)																															(9) Zoomtime 50/1, 40/1, seventh of 10 in bumper at Punchestown (16f, good) on NH debut 29 days ago, doing too much too soon. Signs of ability when a 15l seventh at Punchestown but probably one for down the line.

LTO Selection:

It's difficult to oppose COOLE CHERRY, who has filled the runner-up spot on her three starts to date. She went down by just half a length and a neck on her first two outings, with subsequent winners behind on both occasions. Her most recent effort at Limerick over Christmas was a bit disappointing but she can be forgiven for that performance, with the testing conditions probably not to her liking. Out of an unraced half-sister to Jezki, Jekiki ran a fine race on debut in May and is given second preference with Aine O'Connor aboard. Third of 18 on debut at Greenmount Park, she should come on plenty for that effort. Not without support when fifth at Punchestown on debut, Avakate is another to consider with teenager Emily Costello aboard. Newcomers Jazzwing and French Milan both warrant respect, while River Robe and Deons Diamond are others for the shortlist.

COOLE CHERRY was doing little wrong in defeat at the end of last year and looks up to taking this on her return. Jekiki, from a top family for the stable, shaped well on debut at Limerick and should improve. Deons Diamond is worth a look having finished second in a point in the spring.

This looks good for COOLE CHERRY who pushed the classy Halka Du Tabert close at Naas in November.

Ran no sort of race when last of 9 in handicap at Ayr (10f, firm) 27 days ago but she's in the right hands to bounce back up in trip. Something was possibly amiss on latest outing; solid second at Leicester the time before.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -85%) Future Times		12 12/1(-85%)																															(5) Future Times 12/1, Maiden but another fair effort when fifth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Up in trip and visor replaces cheekpieces. Likely to make presence felt. 0-11; chance of winning depends on how well he responds to new trip/headgear.
5th	8 5th (8) (66/1 -32%) Rajawail		66 66/1(-32%)																															(8) Rajawail 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Up in trip. Seemed to show improvement on Saturday but needs another step forward.
6th	4 6th (4) (40/1 -43%) Deshi Girl		40 40/1(-43%)																															(4) Deshi Girl 40/1, No impact both starts upon transfer to Britain, cheekpieces on for first time when last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 28/1) 18 days ago. Not solid on form; third start for new yard.
7th	3 7th (3) (2/1 +0%) Alex The Great		2 2/1(+0%)																															(3) Alex The Great 2/1, Well backed but held up in a steadily-run race when fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 18 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Should have more to offer. Close fifth upped to 1m4f at Lingfield (AW) on handicap debut; open to more progress.

LTO Selection:

---

ALEX THE GREAT is bred to stay well and the son of Camelot is expected to benefit from a more galloping track than he encountered when making his handicap debut at Lingfield last month. Edwina Sheeran went up 4lb for her recent C&D success and she is likely to pose the main threat to the selection. Churchella is best judged on her second at Leicester in May, while both Future Times and Blue Antares could benefit from first-time visors.

Granted a proper tempo, there's surely more to come from ALEX THE GREAT as a middle-distance handicapper so he looks the way to go. Edwina Sheeran confirmed her ability to handle the track when successful here 18 days ago and that may count for a lot, with Future Times another to consider.

The change of tactics has been a boon for EDWINA SHEERAN (nap), who could well progress further. Alex The Great is second choice.

1	4 1st (4) (2.5/1 +17%) Miss Sligo		2.5 2.5/1(+17%)																															(4) Miss Sligo 2.5/1, Modest mare. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 12/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Leading claims. Made a bold bid at Bath last week and is a big player if she can back that up.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 -9%) Manyana		6 6/1(-9%)																															(3) Manyana 6/1, Modest filly. Fifth of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Could bounce back quickly, so not ruled out. Inconsistent 11-race maiden who was disappointing at Yarmouth last time; risks attached.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 -243%) Mellow Mood		12 12/1(-243%)																															(8) Mellow Mood 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Second of 8 in handicap (50/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 18 days ago, well positioned. Should give another good account. Improved second at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) on her return and she's respected back on turf.
4	1 4th (1) (20/1 -82%) Good Impression		20 20/1(-82%)																															(1) Good Impression 20/1, Modest gelding. 12/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Hard to fancy in current mood. His last Flat win was in 2020 and he struggled back in this sphere at Ripon 18 days ago.
5th	2 5th (2) (3.33/1 +45%) Magical Dragon		3.33 3.33/1(+45%)																															(2) Magical Dragon 3.33/1, Modest gelding. One win from 25 Flat runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 10/1) 37 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form but he's looked temperamental of late. Just one win from 25 starts and he needs to raise his game at this new trip.
6th	9 6th (9) (4/1 +60%) Queen Of Steel		4 4/1(+60%)																															(9) Queen Of Steel 4/1, Modest filly. 12/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) 16 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Not discounted. Six-race maiden and she needs to kick on again to make a serious impact here.
7th	10 7th (10) (6.5/1 +19%) Seraphia		6.5 6.5/1(+19%)																															(10) Seraphia 6.5/1, Modest filly. Fifth of 7 in handicap (5/2) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Others more persuasive. Lightly raced filly who still has potential and looks interesting on this step up to 1m4f.
8th	6 8th (6) (66/1 -100%) Sous Surveillance		66 66/1(-100%)																															(6) Sous Surveillance 66/1, Poor gelding. Last of 6 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good, 50/1) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Uphill task. 11-race maiden who has struggled under both codes for new yard this year; tongue-tie on.
9th	5 9th (5) (66/1 -100%) My Sand Boy		66 66/1(-100%)																															(5) My Sand Boy 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to soft, 25/1). Off 13 months. Makes little appeal. Still lightly raced but has plenty to prove upped to 1m4f after 13 months off.
10th	7 10th (7) (33/1 -136%) Aussie Mystic		33 33/1(-136%)																															(7) Aussie Mystic 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, ninth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, soft) 79 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes. Down the field in all four runs and has a lot to prove now upped to 1m4f for new yard.

LTO Selection:

Seraphia ran well on her penultimate start at Leicester over 1m2f in a first-time visor when hitting the line well and if he can reproduce that effort with Luke Morris back on board, then he can have a big say, but he could be up against facing MISS SLIGO. The daughter of New Approach was only touched off by half a length in this grade at Bath last week and that piece of form could prove to be the best on offer. Magical Dragon lurks on an appealing mark and shouldn't be ruled out either.

MISS SLIGO made a thriving rival work hard when second at Bath 5 days ago and, if she can produce a performance of similar merit, she's capable of going one better. Mellow Mood ran well at Lingfield last time and looks the main danger, although Manyana can't be taken lightly.

This looks a bit trappy but MELLOW MOOD gets the vote ahead of Seraphia and Miss Sligo.

1	1 1st (1) (2.75/1 +21%) Glendown		2.75 2.75/1(+21%)																															(1) Glendown 2.75/1, Fair maiden. Bit below form fourth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good, 5/1) 7 days ago but big player if back in the form he showed when runner-up twice last month. Yard won this last year. Went close at Redcar on most recent 6f attempt; remains of interest.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/1 -9%) Bryce		6 6/1(-9%)																															(5) Bryce 6/1, Modest maiden. 12/1, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Ties in with Glendown and Aurora Glory on penultimate effort; headgear on.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 +27%) Fortuitous Star		4 4/1(+27%)																															(4) Fortuitous Star 4/1, Good third of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (7f) on reappearance 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort. That suggests this drop back to 6f might help. Claims if in the same form. Consistent maiden; has form figures of 223343 in handicaps; solid chance.
4	2 4th (2) (3.33/1 -11%) Mrs Trump		3.33 3.33/1(-11%)																															(2) Mrs Trump 3.33/1, Still a maiden but latest second of 8 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 7/2) suggests a first win may not be too far away. Enters calculations. Ran well over 5f last time while shaping as if this return to 6f will suit.
5th	6 5th (6) (6/1 +25%) Made Of Lir		6 6/1(+25%)																															(6) Made Of Lir 6/1, C&D winner last month. Not in the same form when eighth of 12 at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last week but might do better back here. Won classified event here last month; never figured in handicap last week.
6th	3 6th (3) (7/1 -27%) Aurora Glory		7 7/1(-27%)																															(3) Aurora Glory 7/1, Best effort yet when third of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Ties in with Glendown and Bryce on latest effort; has a fighting chance.
7th	7 7th (7) (50/1 -79%) The Camacho Kid		50 50/1(-79%)																															(7) The Camacho Kid 50/1, Poor form. 33/1, ninth of 11 in classified event at Ayr (7f, firm) 16 days ago. Holds very weak claims on form.
8th	8 8th (8) (33/1 -32%) Spurn Point		33 33/1(-32%)																															(8) Spurn Point 33/1, Poor maiden. 28/1 and blinkered first time, eighth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. More will be needed. Not far behind three of these rivals at Redcar but more is needed.

LTO Selection:

---

FORTUITOUS STAR drops back to 6f after a promising return when third at Newcastle, having pulled hard in the early stages, and Grant Tuer's filly appears to have been found a solid opportunity to shed the maiden tag. Glendown has been in consistent form on his latest starts and commands plenty of respect, while Mrs Trump, who filled the runner-up spot at Beverley last time, and Aurora Glory can fight it out for the minor honours.

Tim Easterby might be able to take this race for the second year running courtesy of GLENDOWN, who has been knocking on the door in recent starts. Mrs Trump is another who likely has a low-grade sprint in her before long and is second choice ahead of Grant Tuer's Fortuitous Star.

Off an unaltered mark back over 6f, MRS TRUMP may be capable of opening her account. Fortuitous Star is second choice.

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.
