13:50 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 6f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5.5/1 +8%) Betties Bay	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(2) Betties Bay 5.5/1, Cable Bay filly who could never land a blow when fifteenth of 26 to Crimson Advocate in Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Not discounted back in these calmer waters. Found Royal Ascot too hot but was a promising second of 15 over C&D on debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/1 -29%) Bourgeoisie	9 9/1(-29%)	(3) Bourgeoisie 9/1, 14/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on debut 8 days ago. This Siyouni filly can take a step forward. Out of a useful 6f 2yo winner; shaped with clear promise when fifth on Newmarket debut.
3	8 3rd (8) (1.1/1 +45%) Gushing Gold	1.1 1.1/1(+45%)	(8) Gushing Gold 1.1/1, Blue Point filly who has shown plenty on both her starts, ninth of 17 to Porta Fortuna in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. She sets a good standard. Clear second on debut and not discredited at Royal Ascot since; leading contender.
6th	6 6th (6) (22/1 -57%) Eleftheria	22 22/1(-57%)	(6) Eleftheria 22/1, 10/1, encouraging debut fifth of 7 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 55 days ago. Open to progress so she's in the mix. Showed her inexperience but also some ability when fifth of seven at Goodwood.
7th	1 7th (1) (16/1 +11%) Ahlain	16 16/1(+11%)	(1) Ahlain 16/1, Foaled March 3. Too Darn Hot filly. Dam 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m out of useful 1¼m/10.3f winner Queen of Pentacles. Yard capable of readying a newcomer. Possibilities. Third foal of a fair 1m2f winner; may not be seen to best effect until upped in trip.
9th	9 9th (9) (66/1 -100%) Jakima	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Jakima 66/1, Twice-raced filly. 10/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Not disgraced on either start but improvement required here.
11th	7 11th (7) (200/1 -150%) Flemish	200 200/1(-150%)	(7) Flemish 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 18/1, last of 8 in minor event at this C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago. Lots more is required. Made reasonably encouraging debut on AW in June; came home in own time here two weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

Gushing Gold was not disgraced in the Albany at Royal Ascot last time and Andrew Balding's filly merits the utmost respect back down in grade here. That said, a chance can be taken with BOURGEOISIE, who caught the eye when fifth on debut in a valuable maiden at Newmarket last week. The daughter of Siyouni may improve significantly for that experience and she should not be underestimated. Betties Bay and Eleftheria are others with valid form claims, while Pannonica and Raqiya look to be best of the newcomers.

GUSHING GOLD has a lot less on her plate than when in midfield in the Albany so looks the way to go unless one of the newcomers proves well above average. Raqiya and Pannonica appeal most of those starting out here and could emerge as the main threats to Andrew Balding's fairly useful filly in that order.

After a perfectly respectable ninth at Royal Ascot last month, GUSHING GOLD can now deliver on her debut promise.

13:55 Killarney Maiden Hurdle 17f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +47%) Cossack Chach	4 4/1(+47%)	(3) Cossack Chach 4/1, Finished down the field in maiden sole start on Flat. In top hands and no surprise should he leave that effort behind sent hurdling. Minor promise on only Flat start; not an obvious type for hurdles.
2	6 2nd (6) (5.5/1 +45%) Show No Fear	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(6) Show No Fear 5.5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. 3/1, below that level when sixth of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good) on NH debut 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Finished 2nd in a Flat h'cap prior to promising hurdle bow; cheekpieces on; e/w claims.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -43%) Kyogo	5 5/1(-43%)	(4) Kyogo 5/1, Modest form on Flat, stays 1¼m, possibly needed run after 9 months off in handicap on stable debut last time. Yard won this last year and he's an interesting hurdling debutant. Minor promise in Flat maidens in Britain; low-key yard/h'cap bow latest; hurdle debut.
4	9 4th (9) (3/1 +40%) Thats Jet	3 3/1(+40%)	(9) Thats Jet 3/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. 9/2, took to hurdling well enough when fifth of 11 in juvenile at Tipperary (16f, good) on NH debut 15 days ago, sticking to task. One to consider. Didn't show much on Flat but promising hurdle bow when 1l behind Sparkit, should improve.
5th	10 5th (10) (150/1 +40%) Northern Rose	150 150/1(+40%)	(10) Northern Rose 150/1, Well held in minor event/maidens on Flat, latest for Miss Natalia Lupini. Has moved yards again and best watched on hurdles bow after 9 months off. Shown nothing in three Flat starts in 2022 and not bred to stay this far; new yard.
7th	7 7th (7) (4/1 -78%) Sparkit	4 4/1(-78%)	(7) Sparkit 4/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Took well to hurdling when third of 11 in juvenile at Tipperary (16f, good, 8/1) on NH debut 15 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Entitled to improve and leading claims. Beaten 1l when sticking to his task well on hurdle bow and looks a likely improver now.
8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 +0%) Let's Avit	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Let's Avit 33/1, Anodin gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart French hurdle winner around 2m Jigme. Anoding gelding; 16,000Eur yearling; dam half-sister to 2m winner; tough ask on debut.
9th	1 9th (1) (14/1 +65%) Allesnick	14 14/1(+65%)	(1) Allesnick 14/1, Modest maiden on Flat, stays 10.5f. 50/1, again ran poorly when twelfth of 16 in handicap at Bellewstown (14.4f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Unplaced in nine starts at a modest level on the Flat and not bred for this game.
10th	2 10th (2) (16/1 +68%) Charlie Darling	16 16/1(+68%)	(2) Charlie Darling 16/1, Modest maiden on Flat, stays 1½m.18/1, seventh of 15 in handicap at this course (11.2f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Cheekpieces retained for his hurdling debut. Shown little on the Flat; some hope in pedigree but likely best watched.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (125/1 +0%) Teejaydee	125 125/1(+0%)	(8) Teejaydee 125/1, Well held in maidens/handicap on Flat for K. J. Condon. Cheekpieces applied for stable/hurdling debut. Shown very little in four Flat starts and can only be watched on hurdle bow for new yard.

LTO Selection:

Those with previous form don't make that much appeal and it may be worth taking a chance on REEL HER IN making a successful debut. The Highland Reel filly is out of Jer's Girl who won two Grade 1 hurdles for the same connections and it will be interesting to see how strong she is the market. There isn't much to choose between Sparkit and Thats Jet on running behind Spinning Web in the opening juvenile hurdle of the season at Tipperary, where Show No Fear dropped away in the straight to finish eight lengths back in sixth. Kyogo was runner-up twice in maidens last year for Michael Bell.

SPARKIT took well to hurdling at the first attempt when third at Tipperary just over a fortnight ago so he's fancied to put that experience to good use with first-time headgear enlisted. Kyogo represents top trainer Gordon Elliott, so he has to be feared on hurdling debut, with Thats Jet and Reel Her In another couple to consider in a tricky opener to solve.

Having only been caught close to home at Tipperary earlier in the month, SPARKIT is the one to beat with improvement likely

14:05 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (3/1 +40%) Tele Red	3 3/1(+40%)	(3) Tele Red 3/1, Ran poorly at Newbury last time but had been in decent form prior to that. Has done his winning over 1¼m but is fully effective at 1m. In good form until beating only one in Newbury handicap last month; sort to bounce back.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 -20%) He's A Gentleman	3 3/1(-20%)	(2) He's A Gentleman 3/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 15 days ago, better placed than most. Back on track when fourth at Kempton 15 days ago; shortlisted off a falling mark.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 +0%) Southwold	2 2/1(+0%)	(1) Southwold 2/1, Solid start to his career on AW over the winter, winning a novice and handicap. Returns from a 136-day break as an unexposed sort and sure to have a big say if as effective on turf. Good fourth at Southwell in March; form franked so a player for his turf debut.
4	6 4th (6) (22/1 -22%) Extinction	22 22/1(-22%)	(6) Extinction 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in maiden (33/1) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut. One to note in the betting. Been brought along steadily, 10th in Doncaster maiden latest; no forlorn hope in handicaps.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 +43%) Moai	4 4/1(+43%)	(4) Moai 4/1, Useful in France earlier in career but has yet to show much for current yard. Has a first-time tongue tie added to refitted cheekpieces. Mark in freefall but could only consider if backed. A useful 1m winner in France but he's yet to fire for his current yard; plenty to prove.
6th	5 6th (5) (14/1 -75%) Balqaa	14 14/1(-75%)	(5) Balqaa 14/1, 9/2, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) in February. Is as effective on turf and claims if showing up from a break in similar form. Back to form when 2nd at Newcastle in Feb; she needs to hit the ground running after break.

LTO Selection:

SOUTHWOLD sets the form standard, having won two of his four outings to date, and the son of Gleneagles is entitled to improve making his debut on turf. Tele Red is likely to bounce back from his latest effort at Newbury, when only beating one rival home, while Balqaa, who was runner-up at Newcastle when last seen, and He's A Gentleman appear best of the remainder.

SOUTHWOLD did well on AW over the winter and this looks a decent opportunity for him to make a winning start to his turf career. The front-running Tele Red can bounce back from a lesser run at Newbury and give him most to do.

This looks a good opportunity for SOUTHWOLD to make a winning start on turf and go 3-5 in his career with his AW form reading well.

14:15 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	8 2nd (8) (2/1 +20%) Never So Brave	2 2/1(+20%)	(8) Never So Brave 2/1, Promising sort. Second of 5 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good, 10/1) on debut 27 days ago, not knocked about. Obvious claims with improvement on the cards. Sets a good standard on his debut second at Newmarket; strong contender dropped in trip.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 +25%) Jubilee Walk	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) Jubilee Walk 12/1, Once-raced colt. Fifth of 9 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 9/2) on debut 23 days ago. May well do better. Ran well for a long way at Salisbury and he's open to improvement on this drop in trip.
7th	11 7th (11) (40/1 -60%) The Bitter Moose	40 40/1(-60%)	(11) The Bitter Moose 40/1, Twice-raced colt. Fifth of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 10/1) 8 days ago, hampered. Others preferred. Has finished fifth in two 6f maidens and he needs improvement.
8th	7 8th (7) (11/1 -100%) Mitwaa	11 11/1(-100%)	(7) Mitwaa 11/1, Once-raced colt. 11/2, fifth of 8 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago, slowly away. Should improve. Ran green at Newbury and he should be more streetwise this time; likely improver.
9th	9 9th (9) (200/1 -33%) Palazzo Persico	200 200/1(-33%)	(9) Palazzo Persico 200/1, Twice-raced colt. 80/1, eighth of 9 in minor event at Beverley (7.4f, good) 13 days ago. Has finished tailed off in both his runs and he needs a transformation on this drop to 6f.
10th	3 10th (3) (250/1 -67%) Havana Mojito	250 250/1(-67%)	(3) Havana Mojito 250/1, Once-raced colt. 80/1, last of 11 in minor event at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) on debut 56 days ago. Struggled on his Goodwood debut in May before being withdrawn at Sandown last month.

LTO Selection:

NEVER SO BRAVE made a promising start to his racing career when finishing in second over 7f at Newmarket last month. A half-brother to Group 2 (6f) winner Barraquero, he could take advantage of a shorter stamina test and looks capable of breaking his maiden at the second time of asking. Vandeek's price increased from 42,000 guineas as a yearling to 625,000 guineas as a two-year-old and the newcomer must warrant a market check based on that, while Mitwaa is another to consider after a respectable introduction at Newbury.

VANDEEK fetched 625,000 guineas at the Breeze-Ups and his trainer has done well in the past with similar types, particularly first time out, so he's worth chancing to get the better of Never So Brave, who arrives on the back of an encouraging start. Alaskan Gold is another one to consider in what could prove to be a strong maiden.

The vote goes to Sir Michael Stoute's NEVER SO BRAVE, who sets a good standard on his debut second behind a smart rival at Newmarket.

3	7 3rd (7) (1.88/1 -50%) Maximum Dividend		1.88 1.88/1(-50%)																															(7) Maximum Dividend 1.88/1, Sent off at 33/1 but shaped very well when narrowly denied on his 7f Sandown debut 14 days ago. Hard to beat if making the anticipated improvement. Made a very promising debut at Sandown; the pick of the runners with experience.
8th	9 8th (9) (66/1 +0%) Standbackandlook		66 66/1(+0%)																															(9) Standbackandlook 66/1, 66/1, finished 10 lengths behind Maximum Dividend when last of 10 on his Sandown debut (7f, good) 14 days ago. Finished about 10l behind Maximum Dividend at Sandown; best watched.

LTO Selection:

MAXIMUM DIVIDEND was only denied by a nose when a fast-finishing second on his racecourse debut at Sandown a couple of weeks ago. Richard Hannon's colt should only improve for that experience and he could prove tough to beat if doing so. There are plenty of well-bred newcomers in this field, but Trafalgar Square is arguably the most noteworthy being a 600,000gns half-brother to the recent Jersey winner Age Of Kings. Boiling Point and King Of Luck, who was also an expensive purchase at 325,000gns, are others who make the shortlist.

MAXIMUM DIVIDEND has to be the call on the back of his promising debut second at Sandown a couple of weeks ago but there are a number of likely types among the newcomers. Trafalgar Square, King of Luck and Boiling Point are perhaps the most interesting of those debutants but the betting will provide more clues.

Maximum Dividend is the form horse, while BOILING POINT and Trafalgar Square are particularly interesting among the newcomers.

2	10 2nd (10) (3/1 +10%) Jumping Susie	3 3/1(+10%)	(10) Jumping Susie 3/1, Fair hurdler. 12/1, very good second of 9 in novice hurdle at Bellewstown (20f, good) 13 days ago, running on. Seems sure to go well again. Promise last summer; produced career best on seasonal debut 13 days ago; 2m6f may help.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/1 -144%) Artemis Angel	11 11/1(-144%)	(5) Artemis Angel 11/1, Modest hurdler. 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Sligo (16.9f, good) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Career best when 4th on return; not as good twice since but 2m6f+ may help; blinkers on.

5th	6 5th (6) (10/1 +60%) Cloudy Fountain	10 10/1(+60%)	(6) Cloudy Fountain 10/1, Modest chaser. Fourth of 17 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Limerick (19f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Up in trip. Point winner but her form under rules leaves her with plenty to find; up in trip.
6th	13 6th (13) (7/1 +30%) Rebel Treaty	7 7/1(+30%)	(13) Rebel Treaty 7/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 18 in novice hurdle (20/1) at Punchestown (22f, good) on NH debut 41 days ago. Point winner in May but was tailed off on rules debut at Punchestown (2m6f) last month.
7th	3 7th (3) (18/1 +55%) Amazing Amy	18 18/1(+55%)	(3) Amazing Amy 18/1, Poor hurdler. Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs. 25/1, seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, soft) 21 days ago. Others make more appeal. Minor promise a few seasons ago but struggled of late and has plenty to find here.
9th	12 9th (12) (150/1 -50%) Mourne Mist	150 150/1(-50%)	(12) Mourne Mist 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (20.9f, soft, 150/1). Off over 2 years. Showed little back in 2021 and now has a 745-day absence to defy.

Makes hurdles debut. Significantly up in trip. Hard to fancy. Runner-up in a point in May but well held on rules debut in a bumper; further should suit.
11th	7 11th (7) (40/1 -21%) Dalgan Park	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) Dalgan Park 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 33/1, twelfth of 17 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (20f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Well held in 3 starts last year; tailed off on reappearance; yard's second-string.

LTO Selection:

EMILY IN PARIS has filled the runner-up spot on her latest three starts and can gain a deserved winning turn. The daughter of Champs Elysees has shown stamina is her strong suit and was again putting in her best work at the finish last time when beating all bar Walk In Time over three miles at Tipperary. Bumper winner Brianna Lily was no match for the long odds-on The Big Doyen at Tipperary earlier this month but she won't face anything of that calibre here, while Jumping Susie showed promise last year and shaped well after a lengthy break when runner-up to Miss Fourie over 2m4f at Bellewstown. Artemis Angel and What An Ocean are others to consider.

EMILY IN PARIS is going the right way and, having found only one too good in a 17-runner handicap at Tipperary recently, she's taken to go one better in this slightly less competitive scenario. Jumping Susie is a big player, while Brianna Lily has scope for further improvement based on her bumper exploits, so she's also considered.

BRIANNA LILY gave the impression a return to form was imminent last time out and further ought ot suit

14:40 Haydock Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	2 3rd (2) (1.75/1 +50%) Cool Run	1.75 1.75/1(+50%)	(2) Cool Run 1.75/1, Half-sister to several winners and shaped well when fifth at Thirsk on debut. Failed to progress at York next time but was still green. Mid-60s RPRs for both runs so far, albeit over 5f trip that's possibly already inadequate.
4	1 4th (1) (2.5/1 -108%) Bint Havana Grey	2.5 2.5/1(-108%)	(1) Bint Havana Grey 2.5/1, Havana Grey filly who produced a promising first effort when third of 12 in 6f novice event at Newbury (good to firm, 9/2) 24 days ago. Sure to improve. Near-3l third on last month's Newbury debut (6f, good to firm) sets a clear form standard.
5th	5 5th (5) (66/1 +34%) Kinetic	66 66/1(+34%)	(5) Kinetic 66/1, Shaped as if in need of the experience when well held in C&D maiden (good to firm, 80/1) on debut 15 days ago, slowly away. 80-1, slowly away and beaten 12l on her recent C&D debut (good); could need more time.
6th	3 6th (3) (80/1 -142%) Emilshaan	80 80/1(-142%)	(3) Emilshaan 80/1, Made appeal on paper but was below expectations when last of 6 in maiden at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) on debut last week. Wouldn't settle and beaten a long way out on last week's debut (7f); rather more needed.
7th	6 7th (6) (10/1 -43%) Princess Alex	10 10/1(-43%)	(6) Princess Alex 10/1, Dark Angel filly who shaped as if better for the run when fourth of 5 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good, 11/4) on debut 22 days ago, slowly away. Open to improvement. Didn't see out 5f on recent debut; will have learned plenty, but others persuade more.

LTO Selection:

Bint Havana Grey shaped well on her first start when finishing third at Newbury and appears open to improvement following that display. However, a chance is taken on a newcomer in the shape of WELSH HARBOUR. A full-sister to Temple Stakes winner King's Lynn, she represents a yard who have done well with their juveniles so far this season and gets the vote to make a winning start to her career. Cool Run and Princess Alex complete the shortlist.

WELSH HARBOUR makes plenty of appeal on paper being a sister to a smart sort, so she's taken to make a winning start. Bint Havana Grey shaped promisingly on her debut at Newbury last month and seems sure to improve, while Princess Alex should have learnt from her opening effort at Hamilton and may prove best of the rest.

The clear pick of the debutantes on paper, Royal runner WELSH HARBOUR gets the nod over recent Newbury third Bint Havana Grey.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +20%) Northern Spirit	4 4/1(+20%)	(4) Northern Spirit 4/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 15/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Likely to be thereabouts. Dual AW winner who has been held back on turf in his last two runs; needs to find more.
2	6 2nd (6) (5.5/1 +27%) Mutanaaseq	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(6) Mutanaaseq 5.5/1, Latest win at Catterick in May. 10/3, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Can get involved if they go a solid pace. His last win came over 7f in May and he will need a strong pace back at this trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 -13%) Cubanista	9 9/1(-13%)	(3) Cubanista 9/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Newmarket (7f, good) 27 days ago. Others more persuasive. Mercurial type who was tailed off last time and needs to bounce again on this drop to 6f.
4	5 4th (5) (2.25/1 +10%) Wadi Bani	2.25 2.25/1(+10%)	(5) Wadi Bani 2.25/1, Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 11/4) 24 days ago. Arrives in form and this is a weaker race, so could well resume winning ways. 0-11 but he's run some good races this season and has claims back at this trip.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.33/1 -21%) Shallow Hal	3.33 3.33/1(-21%)	(1) Shallow Hal 3.33/1, Won 12-runner handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 11/1) 13 days ago, driven out. Likely to go well again. Scored off a reduced mark at Carlisle and he's only 2lb higher here; big player again.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 +0%) Tiger Trap	14 14/1(+0%)	(7) Tiger Trap 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable eighth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 21 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Needs to improve. Lightly raced 3yo but he was never involved on the drop to 6f last time; needs improvement.
7th	2 7th (2) (12/1 -71%) Glamorous Express	12 12/1(-71%)	(2) Glamorous Express 12/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap (25/1) at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) 74 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ronald Harris. Worth a market check. Has struggled in last four runs and has plenty to prove back up in trip for new yard.

LTO Selection:

A game winner over this distance at Carlisle on his latest run, SHALLOW HAL looks the one to beat off a 2lb raised mark in an otherwise weak contest. He left the impression that there would be more to come from him this season and gets a tentative vote from Northern Spirit, who sports first-time cheekpieces following a fair fourth over 7f at Doncaster off 1lb higher most recently. Cubanista looks the best of the rest.

WADI BANI was strong in the betting prior to finishing a creditable sixth (not beaten far) at Newbury last time, so he's worth a chance to capitalise on a drop in grade. Shallow Hal arrives on the back of success at Carlisle and remains well treated on old form, so he's regarded as the main danger ahead of Northern Spirit.

Preference is for SHALLOW HAL (nap), who finished well when scoring off a reduced mark at Carlisle and is only 2lb higher here.

1	10 1st (10) (0.73/1 +20%) Warm Spell	0.73 0.73/1(+20%)	(10) Warm Spell 0.73/1, Mehmas colt who is from an excellent family and made a positive start when runner-up at Goodwood last month. Plenty of improvement expected, so should be able to open his account at the second attempt. Promising second at Goodwood and should progress; the pick of the runners with experience.
6th	3 6th (3) (7.5/1 +32%) Blue Collar	7.5 7.5/1(+32%)	(3) Blue Collar 7.5/1, From a good family and didn't have a hard race when seventh in a novice at Sandown a fortnight ago. Might ultimately need further, though. May do better with Sandown debut experience under his belt.
9th	4 9th (4) (12/1 -9%) Double Jump	12 12/1(-9%)	(4) Double Jump 12/1, Bettered debut form when fifth at this course last time and another step forward would give him half a chance. Handicaps may prove his ideal scene shortly but this step up to 7f looks beneficial.
10th	2 10th (2) (7.5/1 -50%) Bjorn Ironside	7.5 7.5/1(-50%)	(2) Bjorn Ironside 7.5/1, Too Darn Hot colt with speed on the dam's side of his pedigree. Offered a bit to work on when sixth in maiden at Haydock a couple of months ago but has something to find. Hindered by a tardy start at Haydock two months ago; form boosted since; may well improve.

LTO Selection:

WARM SPELL clearly sets the standard having chased home an above-average rival on his debut over 6f at Goodwood last month. The son of Mehmas should have no problem seeing out the extra furlong here and he looks to have a bright future. Thyer shares his page with some top-class performers and it would be no surprise to see him go well, despite his lack of race experience. Mai Dubai was a 200,000-pound purchase last year and has to be of some interest as a result, while Grand Karat and Maxim De Winter both require market inspections.

WARM SPELL is in good hands and made a pleasing start at Goodwood, so he's the obvious answer to what should be an informative novice. Allegorical makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and Thyer strikes as another interesting newcomer for a top stable.

The second division of a traditionally smart novice event. WARM SPELL is first choice ahead of newcomer Thyer.

Latest win in hurdle here in May. 7/1, creditable fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.4f, good) 53 days ago, running on late. Tongue strap back on. Respected. Gained 2 wins at 2m4f this year; not at his best latest though and needs career best here.

Fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good to soft, 9/2). Off 12 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Back to his best last year but has missed a year and may be vulnerable at this trip.
7th	1 7th (1) (3.33/1 -11%) Dartan	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(1) Dartan 3.33/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (24f, good, 4/1) 13 days ago, pushed out. Still low mileage and there's a good chance he can step up again. Followed Flat win with career best hurdle win; unexposed; big player despite 8lb rise.

Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap chase at Thurles (20.5f, soft, 7/1) 125 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Switches from chase to hurdles. Running well in defeat when last seen but has a poor record fresh and he's 2lb wrong here.
9th	10 9th (10) (16/1 +0%) Ballybaun Star	16 16/1(+0%)	(10) Ballybaun Star 16/1, Unreliable type. 5/1, creditable fourth of 16 in handicap at Bellewstown (14.4f, good to soft) 15 days ago, never nearer. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Not seen in this sphere since September but he's become well handicapped. Has run okay at a modest level in 2 Flat runs this summer; hurdle mark looks tough.

Seventh of 8 in minor event at Leopardstown (15f, good, 200/1) 8 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Returns to this sphere with a bit to prove. Poor form in 2 recent Flat runs and on a tough mark back in this sphere.
5	5 \|RO\| (5) (12/1 +0%) Ceroc	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Ceroc 12/1, Latest win in hurdle at Wexford in May. Below form sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Down Royal (20.4f, good) 49 days ago. Step back up in trip and first-time blinkers should help. Failed in hat-trick bid latest and h'capper may have caught up; wears first-time blinkers.

LTO Selection:

There should be plenty of pace on here with a number of confirmed front-runners and perhaps the race will set up well for PRINCE ZALTAR who has progressed well this year. He won a 26-runner 2m4f handicap at Navan and was again successful over that trip here in May. The tongue strap fitted on that occasion is reapplied. Dartan has appreciated a change of tactics to score at the Curragh on Derby weekend and again set the pace in a three-mile handicap hurdle at Bellewstown. Miss Tempo also likes to dictate and is on a hat-trick following wins at Naas and when upped in trip at Tipperary, although a cumulative rise of 19lb will make life more difficult.

MISS TEMPO boasts a progressive profile and had something to spare when scoring at Tipperary 78 days ago. With further improvement on the cards she's fancied to complete the hat-trick at the likely expense of Dartan, who scored at Bellewstown recently. Uhtred is also considered on debut for Gordon Elliott.

Two unexposed last time out winners Dartan and MISS TEMPO may dominate with preference for the latter in her hat-trick bid

1	7 1st (7) (5/1 -25%) Knebworth	5 5/1(-25%)	(7) Knebworth 5/1, Bagged 3 AW wins last year. Has found life tougher in handicaps this time round but wasn't well placed on his most recent outing at Newmarket and isn't one to write off from an easing mark. Still more convincing on Polytrack, but this is the lowest grade handicap he's ever run in.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.33/1 +17%) Asadjumeirah	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(4) Asadjumeirah 3.33/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2022 but has been shaping up well of late, finding only a progressive one too good at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 4 days ago. Must enter calculations. Needs the breaks and risks attached, but two good seconds of late and still well treated.
3	3 3rd (3) (16/1 +20%) Bellagio Man	16 16/1(+20%)	(3) Bellagio Man 16/1, Latest win at Southwell in February. Not at his best since but has been given a chance by the assessor. Tapeta 6f/soft turf 7f winner; below par last twice, but given a chance by the assessor.
4	8 4th (8) (4/1 +27%) Hour By Hour	4 4/1(+27%)	(8) Hour By Hour 4/1, 2-y-o winner who returned with good placed efforts this spring. Below form at Hamilton last time but may bounce back after a break. Given time since Hamilton flop, and a player on April's Pontefract near-miss (6f, soft).
5th	1 5th (1) (40/1 -82%) Desert Doctor	40 40/1(-82%)	(1) Desert Doctor 40/1, Well treated on old form but hasn't been seen since finishing down the field here last August. Others preferred. In a class 5 handicap for the first time, but only 1-18 on turf; sizeable absence to defy.
6th	2 6th (2) (3/1 -9%) Cold Stare	3 3/1(-9%)	(2) Cold Stare 3/1, C&D winner who again ran well when second of 11 in 7.2f handicap (13/2) at Ayr (good to soft) 11 days ago, running on. Should remain competitive back down in trip. Trip and slow ground perfect; lost last 22 starts, but another rock-solid second latest.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 +11%) Mighty Power	25 25/1(+11%)	(5) Mighty Power 25/1, Again notably travelled well when adding to his tally at Newcastle (6f) in March. Shaped as if still in good form on AW next 2 starts but below best on turf last 2 outings. Never really a factor when seventh over C&D latest (good) and others persuade more.
8th	6 8th (6) (4.5/1 -13%) Danzart	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(6) Danzart 4.5/1, Has done well since refitted with a hood, completing a hat-trick in 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton in June. Good efforts subsequently, including when left with too much to do at this course (7f) last time and remains one to be interested in. Stamina to spare at trip; refusal to settle was more the issue than current mark last time.

LTO Selection:

HOUR BY HOUR didn't quite kick on as expected from his return display when runner-up at Pontefract in April, having not appeared to get home over 7f at Leicester before disappointing at Hamilton. That said, he returns from two months off the track and is capable of bouncing back on this occasion. Cold Stare has been running consistently well this season and is likely to enter calculations, while Asadjumeirah and Danzart are others who are capable of a decent showing.

DANZART has had an excellent time of things since being refitted with a hood and would have been right in the mix but for ending up with so much to do here 2 weeks ago, so he remains one to be interested in. Asadjumeirah is proving a bit expensive to follow but should take advantage of his reduced mark before long, with Cold Stare also feared.

If over his Hamilton disappointment, HOUR BY HOUR can account for comparative veterans Cold Stare and Asadjumeirah.

3	1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Nine Elms	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(1) Nine Elms 4.5/1, 4-time course winner. 7/2, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Can give a good account. Last four wins have come at this track but he didn't fire over C&D last time; new headgear.

Makes handicap debut. Open to progress. Very lightly raced 3yo and she needs watching in market on handicap debut.
5th	4 5th (4) (5.5/1 +50%) Macho Sun	5.5 5.5/1(+50%)	(4) Macho Sun 5.5/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 11/1) 28 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Seven-race maiden who has been well below form last twice and others are more convincing.
6th	9 6th (9) (9/1 +68%) Havechatma	9 9/1(+68%)	(9) Havechatma 9/1, Eighth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 43 days ago. Mark is tumbling but she's 0-9 and has plenty to prove at this new trip.
7th	8 7th (8) (16/1 +20%) Papal Music	16 16/1(+20%)	(8) Papal Music 16/1, Respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good, 40/1) 22 days ago. May have had stamina issues at 1m2f last time but he needs to kick on again back in trip.

LTO Selection:

Lucidity kept on for second over 1m2f at Brighton on her most recent outing and, given Billy Loughnane more than negates her 1lb rise for that run with his 3lb claim, she must enter calculations down in trip. However, a shorter stamina test looks set to suit OBAMA ARMY, who was headed inside the final furlong over 1m2f at Epsom earlier this month. Now rated 4lb above his last winning mark, which came over a similar distance at Bath in May, he can bounce back to winning ways. The unexposed Sea Of Elegance is another to bear in mind on her handicap bow.

SEA OF ELEGANCE looks the type who'll do better in handicaps so this Sea The Stars filly can defy an opening mark of 65. Lucidity and Obama Army can place again.

The vote goes to LUCIDITY, who has finished placed behind major improvers in both her handicaps and is still unexposed.

Subsequent efforts at Epsom and most recently over this trip at Pontefract were creditable, and he has to enter calculations. Won on handicap debut and both runs since were very respectable; still has potential.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/1 -10%) Sovereign Spirit	11 11/1(-10%)	(7) Sovereign Spirit 11/1, Three 1½m handicap wins this year, the latest at Beverley where he narrowly prevailed last month. By no means disgraced at Goodwood next time but he's probably a shade too high in the weights for now. Three wins this year; only fourth on latest outing but further progress remains possible.
3	9 3rd (9) (4.5/1 -50%) Dasho Lennie	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(9) Dasho Lennie 4.5/1, Built on promise of sole 2-y-o start when getting on top close home in a 1¼m AW novice in March. No backward steps switched to handicaps the last twice, latterly chasing home an improver upped to this trip at Leicester, and he remains with potential. Creditable fourth on handicap debut; bumped into a progressive rival when second latest.
4	10 4th (10) (7.5/1 +38%) Cavern Club	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(10) Cavern Club 7.5/1, Winner of an 11f Kempton nursery in December and reappearance third at Newmarket was a decent effort. However, plenty to find with Dasho Lennie judged on latest effort at Leicester (tried in blinkers/hood) where he again didn't look at all straightforward. Cheekpieces refitted. AW nursery winner in December; ran okay on both turf starts this year; could have a say.
5th	11 5th (11) (4.5/1 +25%) Brave Knight	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(11) Brave Knight 4.5/1, As expected, he stepped up 2-y-o exploits when making a winning return/handicap debut upped to 11.4f at Windsor. Ridden with greater restraint when behind Dasho Lennie off this 5 lb higher mark at Leicester next time but may resume progress granted a return to more positive tactics here. Won when upped in trip for handicap debut; below that form since but remains of interest.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 -40%) Temporize	14 14/1(-40%)	(2) Temporize 14/1, Winner of first 2 starts last season and has returned from a break with creditable placed efforts in handicaps at Newmarket (1¾m) and Doncaster (16.5f) for Charlie Johnston. Drop back in trip unlikely to be an issue and merits respect on debut for new yard. Comes here after two good runs from the front this summer; recently bought for 32,000gns.
7th	3 7th (3) (40/1 -150%) Isle Of Sark	40 40/1(-150%)	(3) Isle Of Sark 40/1, Failed to add to 2-y-o debut success for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland. Stepped up on his debut for this yard when third at Nottingham (1¾m) last month but subsequently failed to fire when well adrift of Temporize at Doncaster. Now tried in a hood and tongue strap refitted, too. Safely held over 2m recently but has claims if judged on last month's 1m6f third.
8th	13 8th (13) (50/1 -52%) Ithaca's Arrow	50 50/1(-52%)	(13) Ithaca's Arrow 50/1, Improved form when scoring on the AW at Lingfield in May but subsequent efforts have not been at all inspiring (gelded since latest start). Began season with 1m4f AW novice win but soundly beaten in two turf handicaps since.
9th	12 9th (12) (16/1 +52%) Enochdhu	16 16/1(+52%)	(12) Enochdhu 16/1, Won in ready fashion at Windsor in May and ran at least as well upped to 1¾m when second of 4 in handicap at Sandown next time. Latest effort at Salisbury was too bad to be true but it nevertheless leaves him with a bit to prove. Has 3-9 strike-rate but didn't fire last time and may find others better handicapped.
10th	1 10th (1) (50/1 -100%) Red Flyer	50 50/1(-100%)	(1) Red Flyer 50/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022 campaign but was put in his place back from a break at Newmarket and remains 5 lb above last winning mark. Didn't run badly at Newmarket last month but less-exposed rivals appeal much more.
11th	5 11th (5) (22/1 -10%) Open Champion	22 22/1(-10%)	(5) Open Champion 22/1, Winner of an AW maiden Roger Varian last year and caught the eye on first start on the Flat for this yard at Kempton (11f) in April. Well below par both starts since but the handicapper has reacted accordingly and he's certainly not one to write off just yet. Ran okay when back on the Flat in April but two down-the-field finishes have followed.
12th	8 12th (8) (125/1 -89%) Caraghann	125 125/1(-89%)	(8) Caraghann 125/1, Fair form in France but he has failed to beat a rival home in 3 starts for present connections. Placed in France last year but has struggled on all three British starts.

LTO Selection:

Fox Journey finished a decent fourth in deeper waters at Pontefract on his most recent outing and must enter calculations if building on that run, even though he loses Harry Davies' 3lb claim here. However, it could be worth taking a chance on the fellow class-dropping ENOCHDHU. Jonathan Portman's three-year-old has dropped to 4lb above his last winning mark, which came over an extended 1m3f at Windsor in May, and is fancied to bounce back from a disappointing showing at Salisbury last month. The unexposed Brave Knight is another to consider.

There is probably better to come from DASHO LENNIE over this trip and he gets the nod ahead of Fox Journey. The selection chased home a rapid-improver in Fairbanks (winner again since) off this mark on his first attempt at 1½m at Leicester where he had a few of these rivals behind. Fox Journey also acquitted himself well upped to this trip for the first time at Pontefract and is likely to offer stern resistance, while Open Champion and Temporize both make each-way appeal.

Another chance can be given to FOX JOURNEY, who was shuffled back to a poor position before staying on well for fourth at Pontefract.

5	5 \|PU\| (5) (7/1 -40%) The Dara Man	7 7/1(-40%)	(5) The Dara Man 7/1, Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Pulled up in handicap chase (3/1) at Tipperary (16.3f, soft) 17 days ago, beaten before straight. Only narrowly denied in two of his last 3 starts; type to bounce back from poor run latest.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (12/1 -60%) Sil Ver Klass	12 12/1(-60%)	(4) Sil Ver Klass 12/1, Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in December. 25/1, running below form when unseated rider in handicap chase at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) 85 days ago. Tough to assess at present. Unseated when beaten latest and out of form previously; only 1lb above last winning mark.

Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 40/1, ninth of 12 in claiming hurdle at Roscommon (20f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Plenty to find on form. Low-key return from a lengthy absence last week and 16lb wrong.

LTO Selection:

John Ryan is well represented with three runners and THE DARA MAN may repeat his win of 12 months ago. The Stowaway gelding needs to bounce back after a disappointing display at Tipperary but was previously in good form when going close twice last month at Punchestown and Kilbeggan. The Dasher Conway won twice over hurdles and made most of the running when scoring in fine style on his first completed start in a handicap chase at Tramore last month. Sole Pretender uncharacteristically refused to race last time but has been a good money spinner for connections both over hurdles and fences, while Pats Choice was a fortunate winner at Wexford last month.

THE DASHER CONWAY showed improved form to open his account over fences at Tramore 7 weeks ago, relishing the return to front-running tactics, and can make another bold bid. Pats Choice was fortunate to win at Wexford when left clear at the last but he still beat the rest easily so rates the main threat.

THE DARA MAN had been shaping like his turn may be near prior to a below-par run latest but he's the type to bounce back

1	4 1st (4) (9/1 -50%) Quantum Leap	9 9/1(-50%)	(4) Quantum Leap 9/1, In first-time hood/tongue strap, possibly needed the run after 8 months off when seventh of 10 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) 30 days ago. Interesting contender upped in trip for his handicap debut. Didn't consolidate winning debut effort latest; mark looks tough, but yard still in form.
2	2 2nd (2) (2/1 +20%) Ravenscraig Castle	2 2/1(+20%)	(2) Ravenscraig Castle 2/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Visored for 1st time, confirmed return to form when second of 6 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to soft, 5/2) 11 days ago. Can give another good account. Almost held on over 1m5f at Ayr latest (soft); down in class and 1lb well in here.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 -9%) Mothill	6 6/1(-9%)	(3) Mothill 6/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 9/4, won 6-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft, 9/2) 29 days ago. Arrives in good form as he makes his first start on the level for current yard (handicap debut in this sphere). Productive last 12 months over hurdles; unseen on the Flat since early 2021 in France.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 +50%) De Vega's Warrior	10 10/1(+50%)	(7) De Vega's Warrior 10/1, Remains a maiden after 13 runs. Again ran creditably when seventh of 11 in handicap (25/1 at Kempton (2m) 44 days ago, but he looks to be vulnerable once more. Drop back to 1m6f makes sense; 0-13, however, and mixed results on soft ground this year.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +44%) Carrigillihy	5 5/1(+44%)	(6) Carrigillihy 5/1, Dropped in grade, recorded his fifth win at Pontefract when successful in 9-runner handicap (12f, good to soft, 10/3) 10 days ago. Carries a penalty and he faces a tougher task back up in class. Another Pontefract win (1m4f) latest; penalised mark concerns more than the softer ground.
6th	1 6th (1) (3.33/1 -33%) Prince Alex	3.33 3.33/1(-33%)	(1) Prince Alex 3.33/1, Six wins from 18 Flat runs, including at this C&D. Stepped up on seasonal/stable debut when fourth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (14f, good, 10/1) 63 days ago. Can return to winning ways back down in grade. Dropping mark and class, and returning to a trip/going combination he enjoys; player.
7th	5 7th (5) (11/1 +45%) Natchez Trace	11 11/1(+45%)	(5) Natchez Trace 11/1, Latest win at Southwell in June. 10/1, rare poor effort when eighth of 10 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to soft) 7 days ago, despite having run of race. Needs to find more as he steps up in trip. Southwell 1m4f win in June; compromised by frequent refusal to settle otherwise recently.

LTO Selection:

RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE was denied by a neck once again when runner-up at Ayr recently and compensation could await now turned out quickly off the same mark. Carrigillihy gained a second success of the season at Pontefract last Tuesday and is feared most off a 5lb penalty here, while Mothill is another to note on this return to the Flat, having recorded a career-best performance over hurdles at Uttoxeter last month.

PRINCE ALEX has been lightly raced in recent years, but he showed that he retains his ability when fourth at Newmarket on his second run for his current yard in May. The 6-y-o is now 4 lb below his last winning mark and can get the better of Ravenscraig Castle, who has returned to form on his last 2 starts. Quantum Leap also merits consideration.

The top two make the most appeal. PRINCE ALEX has the winning form over 1m6f with cut, and is preferred to Ravenscraig Castle.

Winner of that race has gone in again since and she will prove tough to beat if coping with conditions. Runner-up four of her five runs, beaten neck at Bath on latest; very good form claims.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.5/1 +0%) Pourquoi	1.5 1.5/1(+0%)	(3) Pourquoi 1.5/1, Promising sort. 18/5, fifth of 11 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f) 29 days ago, hampered. Remains open to improvement and she's a leading contender. Shaped encouragingly both runs, fifth at Chelmsford latest; open to progress; considered.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 +13%) Sonnet Star	7 7/1(+13%)	(4) Sonnet Star 7/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1 and hooded, second of 6 in minor event at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) on debut 25 days ago, no match for winner. Will need to step up on that if she's to trouble Miss Dolly Rocker and Pourquoi. Hooded when debut second in novice at Chepstow; she can build on it here.
4	6 4th (6) (200/1 -203%) Lady Of Nepal	200 200/1(-203%)	(6) Lady Of Nepal 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, last of 5 in maiden at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) on debut 25 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip now and big step forward needed. Green when last of fiive in maiden at Chepstow on her debut; needs to show plenty more.
5th	1 5th (1) (150/1 +0%) Cheers Babe	150 150/1(+0%)	(1) Cheers Babe 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in minor event (200/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 10 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Has offered little in novices around 1m2f at Windsor and Wolverhampton this summer.

LTO Selection:

MISS DOLLY ROCKER has been a model of consistency in her career to date and this looks a nice opportunity to get her head in front. Roger Teal's runner was just touched off over 1m2f at Bath on her previous outing, beaten just a neck, and a repeat of that effort could see her shed her maiden tag today. Pourquoi appears to be the biggest danger after making a pleasing start to her career and her connections will be hoping that things fall right for her today after being hampered late on at Chelmsford last time, while Sonnet Star heads the remainder.

This looks between MISS DOLLY ROCKER and Pourquoi. If the ground remains on the slow side Roger Teal's charge will be taking a step into the unknown, as her reappearance/turf debut near-miss at Bath was on fast ground, whereas Pourquoi's debut second at Windsor was on heavy, so the forecast conditions won't be a problem where she's concerned. Still, the form of Miss Dolly Rocker's Bath effort looks solid and she will take some stopping if handling conditions. Sonnet Star is best of the rest.

Roger Teal's filly MISS DOLLY ROCKER has been knocking on the door and looks to have been found a good opportunity to gain her first win

3	7 3rd (7) (5.5/1 +50%) Divina Grace	5.5 5.5/1(+50%)	(7) Divina Grace 5.5/1, Resumed with 10f success at Chepstow before posting a good second of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (12f, good) 28 days ago.

4	6 4th (6) (3.6/1 -3%) Flower Of Dubai	3.6 3.6/1(-3%)	(6) Flower Of Dubai 3.6/1, Winner of 11f Kempton maiden on debut and progressed nicely since, latest when very good second of 11 in Haydock handicap (14f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Likely contender. Progressive filly who ran well (clear second) in valuable contest at Haydock last time.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 +25%) Secret Shadow	12 12/1(+25%)	(2) Secret Shadow 12/1, Four-time winner for Andrew Balding, the latest a 1¾m Goodwood handicap last August. However, failed to land a blow both subsequent starts in 2022 and finished well held on debut for new yard here in April. Has won over C&D but is ground dependent (needs softer than good); second run for new yard.
6th	5 6th (5) (1.88/1 +16%) Spring Fever	1.88 1.88/1(+16%)	(5) Spring Fever 1.88/1, Progressive filly who scored for second time when taking 6-runner handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 20 days ago, plenty in hand. 10 lb higher now but more improvement is on the way. Improving filly who scored emphatically at Newmarket most recently; major contender.
7th	4 7th (4) (28/1 +44%) Tashi	28 28/1(+44%)	(4) Tashi 28/1, Just the 1 win from 21 starts for Sheila Lavery in Ireland but shaped encouragingly, on back of 6 months off, when third for new yard at Epsom (12f) in April. However, wasn't in same form at Kempton latest and now tried in hood. Well exposed; chance depends on how she responds to first-time hood.

LTO Selection:

NIGHT SPARKLE made a pleasing return to the Flat when bolting up over a similar trip at Fairyhouse last month. The fact she was eased towards the finish suggests the daughter of Postponed has much more to offer, despite a 10lb hike for that success. The four-year-old is taken to get the better of the lightly-campaigned Flower Of Dubai, who was headed towards the finish in tougher company over 1m6f at Haydock most recently. Spring Fever and Secret Shadow are others to consider.

SPRING FEVER is going the right way and can defy a 10 lb rise for her comfortable Newmarket victory. Flower of Dubai and Alba Longa head the list of dangers.

This looks between the most progressive contenders in the field, namely FLOWER OF DUBAI, Spring Fever and Night Sparkle.

1	3 1st (3) (0.57/1 +15%) Hercule Du Seuil	0.57 0.57/1(+15%)	(3) Hercule Du Seuil 0.57/1, Smart over hurdles and showed similar form when winning 8-runner maiden chase at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 53 days ago, hard held. The one to beat, especially with further progress on the cards. Trounced Ballyadam and Lieutenant Highway at Ballinrobe and looks a fine prospect.
2	1 2nd (1) (5.5/1 +0%) Solness	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(1) Solness 5.5/1, Useful chaser who completed a simple task in 4-runner novice chase at Tipperary (20.2f, soft) 94 days ago, making all. Remains open to improvement. Carries a 10lb penalty for two wins; needs more but should give a good account.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.5/1 +17%) Watch House Cross	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(2) Watch House Cross 2.5/1, Useful chaser. Career best when winning 4-runner minor event chase (10/11) at Wexford (19.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Yard having good spell and may do better still. Two impressive novice chase wins at Wexford; 10lb penalty but isn't underestimated.
4	5 4th (5) (50/1 +0%) Western Comandor	50 50/1(+0%)	(5) Western Comandor 50/1, Fairly useful hurdler but was in the process of running below that level sent chasing when falling at the last in maiden event at Kilbeggan 47 days ago. Faces a stiff task. Fell late on making chasing debut at Kilbeggan; this looks a tough task.

LTO Selection:

HERCULE DU SEUIL was a useful novice over hurdles winning three times last season including a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding is a keen running sort and opened his account over fences at Ballinrobe when taking command in the straight to beat Ballyadam. The latter's trainer is now represented by Watch House Cross, who has won his latest two starts over fences both at Wexford and readily accounted for Saldier over 2m4f last time. Solness has taken really well to fences, although he did jump a shade right when again making all at Tipperary last time.

HERCULE DU SEUIL matched his smart hurdles form on just his second start over fences when winning in effortless fashion at Ballinrobe in May and, with that form proving strong, he's difficult to oppose. Watch House Cross is getting the hang of chasing now and is feared most on the back of an improved performance at Wexford.

It isn't easy to oppose HERCULE DU SEUIL(nap) after an impressive win on his second chase start at Ballinrobe.

1	5 1st (5) (1.88/1 +37%) Dark Desire	1.88 1.88/1(+37%)	(5) Dark Desire 1.88/1, Pulled up in 6f course novice on debut last June. It's taken a long time to get her back but she went off at only 7/2 for that debut so was presumably quite well regarded at the time. Interesting to see whether there's any strength behind her in the betting now. Pulled up in novice here on her debut 13 months ago; worth monitoring in the betting.
3	3 3rd (3) (18/1 -64%) Operation Gimcrack	18 18/1(-64%)	(3) Operation Gimcrack 18/1, 11/2, ninth of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. Should progress but big chunk of improvement needed to go close. Hinted at promise when ninth in maiden at Doncaster on his debut; can take a step forward.
4	8 4th (8) (28/1 -40%) Sacred Falls	28 28/1(-40%)	(8) Sacred Falls 28/1, 125/1, modest form when 7 lengths fourth of 9 on debut at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Debut 4th in 6f novice at Doncaster; this daughter of Dark Angel can do better now.
5th	4 5th (4) (1.2/1 +0%) Utilis	1.2 1.2/1(+0%)	(4) Utilis 1.2/1, Fairly useful form at 2 but didn't make his reappearance this year until 3 weeks ago (had been gelded) and ran well below his best. Very much the one to beat if back to his peak form but there have to be a few doubts. Fair maiden at 2yrs; beat only one at Newcastle on return but good claims if back to best.

LTO Selection:

Although UTILIS has something to prove after an underwhelming reappearance on the all-weather earlier in the month, Brian Ellison's charge holds strong claims on last season's turf efforts and may bounce back to form in what looks a weak affair. Dark Desire was pulled up on her debut here last year but better can be expected, while newcomer Inca Queen is a potential fly in the ointment and is worth a second look in the betting.

This could go to one of the two newcomers, with INCA QUEEN chanced over Crown Dreams before market clues. Dark Desire needs keeping an eye on in the market as she was prominent in the betting when pulling up lame on her course debut last summer. Utilis sets the standard and this is easier than the 0-105 Newcastle handicap he ran poorly in on his return.

Utilis is respected but INCA QUEEN looks the part on paper and is an interesting alternative.

Makes hurdles debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time. RESERVE Tailed off last of 15 on bumper debut in April; tongue tied now for hurdles debut; reserve.

LTO Selection:

A weak affair, with VALSOPRESA the stand-out name. A brother to Presenting Percy, he was a beaten favourite at Down Royal last month but can be forgiven for that performance after his saddle slipped early on. Third on debut in a stronger contest at Naas in February, a reproduction of that effort should see him hard to beat. Third on recent outings at Wexford and Listowel respectively, Johnny M is capable of making his presence felt, while it'll be interesting to see how Kiss My Lucky Egg fares on his first start for Peter McCreery. Successful on debut in a bumper at Newton Abbot, he since proved disappointing in four starts for Emmet Mullins. A dual winner on the level, Blackcastle Storm has definite claims with Keith Donoghue aboard, while others of interest are Qatar Spirit, Edge Of My Seat and Il Silenzio.

VALSORPRESA has some fairly useful form to his name and didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Down Royal last time so can open his account here. Edge Of My Seat appeals as the one to chase home Gordon Elliott's 5-y-o ahead of hurdling newcomer Blackcastle Storm who was fairly useful on the level.

This looks a very weak maiden and VALSORPRESA won't get a better opportunity

3	6 3rd (6) (6.5/1 -63%) Lincoln Rockstar	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(6) Lincoln Rockstar 6.5/1, 7/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 5 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Back up in trip and would be a player if able to reproduce the form of her reappearance second at Beverley. Has mixed record but she went close at Beverley (1m2f) on penultimate run; not ruled out.
4	8 4th (8) (11/1 -83%) El Royale	11 11/1(-83%)	(8) El Royale 11/1, 18/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 21 days ago. Up in trip and again looks vulnerable for win purposes. Has form figures of 460575 in handicaps and he needs to find more at this new trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 +14%) Alhabor	12 12/1(+14%)	(2) Alhabor 12/1, 13/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (firm) 44 days ago, badly hampered. Likely to come up short once more. Nine-race maiden with an unconvincing record and was down the field over C&D last time.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/1 +56%) Eltham Palace	11 11/1(+56%)	(4) Eltham Palace 11/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. 28/1, first run since leaving David Simcock when sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 36 days ago, well positioned. Others preferred. Her win came off this mark but she's not easy to predict and comes with risks attached.
7th	10 7th (10) (1.25/1 +34%) Brabusach	1.25 1.25/1(+34%)	(10) Brabusach 1.25/1, Visored for 1st time, respectable second of 8 in handicap (2/1) at Salisbury (9.9f, soft) 6 days ago, no match for winner. Expected to be bang there. Runner-up in his last four starts and latest was behind a handicap blot; key player.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 -52%) Volenti	50 50/1(-52%)	(7) Volenti 50/1, 40/1, first run since leaving Seamus Durack when eighth of 10 in minor event at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Inconsistent 4yo who was beaten 15l on his recent stable debut at Bath (1m2f); risky.
9th	5 9th (5) (22/1 -38%) Coriano Ridge	22 22/1(-38%)	(5) Coriano Ridge 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Good fourth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good, 22/1) 22 days ago. Needs to raise his game a touch. Shaped with promise at Leicester (1m4f) last time and he could be dangerous back in trip.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (28/1 +15%) Clement Danes	28 28/1(+15%)	(11) Clement Danes 28/1, 16/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 11 months and significantly up in trip on this debut for new yard. Returns for new yard after almost a year off and has something to prove at this new trip.

LTO Selection:

BRABUSACH bumped into a very well handicapped horse when a well-beaten second over 1m2f at Salisbury last time but no such issues appear likely to arise today. Ivan Furtado's runner races off the same mark here and he can go one better than his last four efforts to land this contest. Lincoln Rockstar should also be thereabouts based on her penultimate effort when she was a good second over 1m2f at Beverley, while Alhabor is another to consider.

BRABUSACH is taken to deservedly get his head in front having found just one too good on each of his last four starts. He didn't appear to have any problems with the slow surface at Salisbury last time and deserves a change of luck. Ice Shadow and Lincoln Rockstar can do battle for minor honours.

The vote goes to BRABUSACH, who has finished second in his last four starts, including behind a handicap blot at Salisbury last week.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
10	10 (10) (12/1 -200%) Palmar Bay	12 12/1(-200%)	(10) Palmar Bay 12/1, Showed ability amidst obvious signs of inexperience when second on debut at Windsor (5f, heavy) in May and duly proved much sharper when going one place better in a Salisbury novice (5f) later that month. Step up in trip a likely plus and there's better to come. Salisbury success is strong form, as he beat the subsequent July Stakes winner; respected.
1	1 1st (1) (14/1 +22%) Action Point	14 14/1(+22%)	(1) Action Point 14/1, Athletic sort who clearly knew his job when scoring decisively on debut at Kempton (5f) in April. Similar form when second in class 2 at Ascot and had excuses in the Windsor Castle since. Drawn on the wrong side in the Windsor Castle but was only fifth of six in his group.
2	12 2nd (12) (4/1 +27%) Shagraan	4 4/1(+27%)	(12) Shagraan 4/1, €35,000 foal, £80,000 yearling, Sioux Nation colt. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Better for debut when winning 6f Windsor novice in good style 3 weeks ago. Could be useful. Won well at Windsor on second outing and looks another promising 2yo for his connections.
3	2 3rd (2) (1.25/1 +23%) Asadna	1.25 1.25/1(+23%)	(2) Asadna 1.25/1, 160,000 gns 2-y-o colt by Mehmas who produced an excellent timefigure when making a winning debut at Ripon. Failed to repeat that form in a much deeper line-up when mid-field in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but worth another chance in this lesser contest for new yard. Very impressive at Ripon; Coventry flop can be excused; still of major interest; new yard.
4	9 4th (9) (66/1 -32%) Odonnell's Orchard	66 66/1(-32%)	(9) Odonnell's Orchard 66/1, €32,000 foal, 65,000 gns yearling, Invincible Army colt. Closely related to French 9.5f winner City of Women and half-brother to several winners, including useful 5f/6f winner From Me To Me. Showed ability when fourth of 8 in C&D novice (good to firm, 33/1) 15 days ago but this is a big ask. Clear signs of ability in C&D novice event but this looks a stiff task on second run.
5th	6 5th (6) (28/1 -12%) Inishfallen	28 28/1(-12%)	(6) Inishfallen 28/1, All the better for debut when winning 11-runner maiden (11/2) at Kempton (6f) 23 days ago. Should improve again but this looks very competitive. Won at Kempton (AW) last time; well down this pack on form but may improve further.
6th	3 6th (3) (6.5/1 +28%) Balon D'Or	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(3) Balon D'Or 6.5/1, Bred to be sharp and certainly knew what was required when landing 8-runner novice at Musselburgh on debut. Best effort since when runner-up in class 2 event at Epsom penultimate start. Others have more potential. Proving useful and consistent; fourth in Group 3 last time; again has frame possibilities.
7th	4 7th (4) (12/1 -20%) Dapper Valley	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Dapper Valley 12/1, Bred to be an early type and knew his job when making a winning debut at Newbury (5f, heavy) in April. Easy to forgive subsequent run in Sandown listed event a month later (rider reported rein broke) and he remains with good deal of potential. Won readily at this course then had an excuse in the National Stakes; retains potential.
8th	8 8th (8) (14/1 -17%) Markakol	14 14/1(-17%)	(8) Markakol 14/1, 350,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner colt. Dam, winner up to 5.5f (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart 5f-6f winner Tone The Barone. Better for debut when winning 5f Newcastle novice in decisive fashion. Highly likely to progress again. Took well to the hood at Newcastle (AW) where he won going away; more to come.
9th	7 9th (7) (16/1 -14%) Kinnigoli Kid	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Kinnigoli Kid 16/1, 85,000 gns yearling, €120,000 2-y-o, No Nay Never colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Duke of Mantua and half-brother to several winners, including 7f-1¼m winner Turning Top. Won 9-runner maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 13/2) on debut 25 days ago. This much tougher but he has potential. 120,000euros 2yo; driven out to make a winning debut at Windsor; open to progress.

LTO Selection:

ASADNA was a very taking winner on his racecourse debut when scoring by 12 lengths over 6f at Ripon before running with credit in the Coventry at Royal Ascot, following an interrupted preparation, and he looks the one to beat. That race at the Royal meeting is working out well with multiple winners coming out of the contest and Alice Haynes' runner could easily follow suit. Balon D'or is likely to ask the most questions after a decent fourth in a Group 3 at Chantilly, while Markakol should also be thereabouts.

ASADNA failed to meet expectations in the Coventry at Royal Ascot but is worth another chance to confirm debut promise down in class. Shagraan looked good when winning at Windsor so rates the main threat ahead of Markakol, who should continue to progress.

The vote goes to PALMAR BAY (nap), who should have plenty more to offer. Shagraan and Asadna are respected.

8th	6 8th (6) (11/1 +31%) Punters Poet	11 11/1(+31%)	(6) Punters Poet 11/1, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. 50/1, faced a stiff task when fifth of 7 in maiden chase at Kilbeggan (19.4f, good) 32 days ago. Tongue strap back on for handicap chase debut. Has run respectably in three novice chases and has a squeak on handicap debut.
9th	12 9th (12) (8/1 -33%) Shantou Sisu	8 8/1(-33%)	(12) Shantou Sisu 8/1, 14/1, fared better than of late when third of 17 in handicap chase at Tipperary (23.1f, soft) 17 days ago.

4	4 \|PU\| (4) (16/1 -78%) Chainofconsequence	16 16/1(-78%)	(4) Chainofconsequence 16/1, 16/1, creditable third of 16 in handicap chase at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 17 days ago. Should remain competitive off current mark now back on track. Decent third at Tipperary (2m4f) last time; a player if staying this trip.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (25/1 +11%) Westernerona	25 25/1(+11%)	(13) Westernerona 25/1, Struggling for form over hurdles recently and fared no better sent chasing when sixth of 16 in handicap chase at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 17 days ago. Never involved on chasing debut at Tipperary last time and needs to improve plenty on that.

LTO Selection:

SHANTOU SISU won over fences at Downpatrick last summer and finished strongly when placed over staying trips on his latest two starts including when narrowly denied by the progressive King Ferdinand at Tipperary earlier this month. Gondor filled the runner-up spot three times over hurdles last year including over 2m6f at Navan and, following a six-month break, made a bright return over fences when third to Glen Ava over this trip at Limerick. Agirlcalledchloe and Chainofconsequence filled the places behind Search For A Myth at Tipperary, while Kingston Kid and Early Arrival are others to consider.

GONDOR matched his hurdles form in this sphere when third at Limerick in May and could be the answer with further improvement possible. Norwigi isn't one to write off from a slipping mark, while Chainofconsequence and Shantou Sisu are others with claims.

After making a decent start in handicap chase company when third at Limerick on return, GONDOR can improve enough to score.

Still green but shaped well when third of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 5/1) 25 days ago, nearest finish after meeting trouble. May well do better now handicapping.

Found her run of good form coming to halt at Salisbury last time but she's the type to bounce back quickly. Won at Bath and in good form until only seventh at Salisbury latest; sort to bounce back.
6th	2 6th (2) (80/1 -100%) Glory And Gold	80 80/1(-100%)	(2) Glory And Gold 80/1, On the up for William Haggas last year but stable/seasonal debut at Beverley contained no encouragement. Something to prove after more than 2 months off. Fair 7f winner for William Haggas; last on yard debut at Beverley in May; needs more.

LTO Selection:

Plenty went wrong for NIGIRI when finishing third behind subsequent winner Tiffany at Wolverhampton last month and she holds leading claims now entering handicaps off what looks a lenient opening mark. Streaky Bay defied market expectation when holding on to triumph at Yarmouth recently and a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent Jane Chapple-Hyam's filly from going close once more. Princess Naomi was too bad to be true at Salisbury in mid-June and the three-year-old could also have a say.

NIGIRI shaped really well in unfavourable circumstances at Wolverhampton last time and Ralph Beckett's filly is taken to make a successful handicap debut. Streaky Bay returned from a year-long layoff with a win at Yarmouth earlier in the month and can go well again from only a 2 lb higher mark, whilst Princess Naomi is also respected if able to shrug off a rare poor effort.

Handicap debutante NIGIRI (nap) looks very much the way to go here on the back of her recent eye-catching Wolverhampton third

14th	10 14th (10) (50/1 -100%) No Show	50 50/1(-100%)	(10) No Show 50/1, Modest Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut. No show in three maidens; hard to make a case for on handicap debut.
15th	9 15th (9) (50/1 -178%) Enchanted One	50 50/1(-178%)	(9) Enchanted One 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.6f, good to soft, 100/1) 38 days ago. Ran okay in a maiden hurdle here last summer but hasn't progressed.

LTO Selection:

A case can be made for many of these, with THE VIRGINIAN the suggestion. Not beaten far on his most recent starts at Punchestown and Roscommon respectively, it will be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end here, with Peter Smithers claiming a valuable 7lb. On My Bike is given second preference. The Gavin Cromwell-trained five-year-old ran a fine race on just his second start in handicap company at Bellewstown recently and he is open to further improvement. Maggie Walsh is out of Akatara, who was a bit of a course specialist, winning three times at Kilbeggan. A dual winner in her own right, the Dylan Thomas bay is capable of making her presence felt. Cathys Quest is a half-sister to Sole Pretender and it'll be interesting to see how she fares in first time cheekpieces, while others for the shortlist are Jinxs Link, the Philip Rothwell-trained Prince Of Air and UK import Black Tonic, who makes his debut for Richard O'Brien.

Gavin Cromwell's ON MY BIKE was an encouraging fourth at Bellewstown on his return from a break 13 days ago and a lightly-raced profile gives him the potential to build on that. The Virginian is second choice on the back of his good fourth at Roscommon last month. Jinxs Link and Maggie Walsh also make the shortlist.

Having not looked to stay 2m4f at Bellewstown ON MY BIKE should appreciate this drop in trip

4	4 (4) (33/1 -18%) Animist	33 33/1(-18%)	(4) Animist 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, last of 5 in handicap at Brighton (6f, soft) 31 days ago. Lightly raced 4yo who has failed to beat a rival in his three runs this season.
1	1 1st (1) (2.75/1 -22%) Lady Celia	2.75 2.75/1(-22%)	(1) Lady Celia 2.75/1, First run since leaving Richard Fahey when respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good, 18/1) 13 days ago. Respected. Returned from an absence with a creditable fourth on stable debut at Carlisle; in the mix.
2	6 2nd (6) (2/1 +27%) Enchanted Night	2 2/1(+27%)	(6) Enchanted Night 2/1, First success in 32 races in 8-runner handicap (2/1) at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) 15 days ago. Easy to back and well held back there on Wednesday. Finally off the mark at Yarmouth two weeks ago but was never involved there on Wednesday.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.5/1 +36%) Kyber Crystal	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(2) Kyber Crystal 3.5/1, Winner at Chepstow in June. 6/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to soft) 11 days ago. No impact at 6f last time but she won over 5f on penultimate run; dangerous back in trip.
4	7 4th (7) (16/1 -14%) Ellie Piper	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Ellie Piper 16/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Fifth of 7 in minor event at Brighton (5.3f, good, 9/1) 10 days ago. Losing run is up to 13 and has been below par this year; needs to raise her game.
5th	5 5th (5) (3.33/1 +17%) Aclaim To Fame	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(5) Aclaim To Fame 3.33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 15 in handicap (16/1) at Hamilton (6f, good) 22 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. On a good mark on Redcar form. Still unexposed but she has something to prove on this drop back to 5f.
6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 -57%) Breath Catcher	22 22/1(-57%)	(3) Breath Catcher 22/1, 20/1, last of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good) 22 days ago. Generally regressive nine-race maiden who finished last over C&D on her return last month.
7th	8 7th (8) (150/1 -275%) L'sarafina	150 150/1(-275%)	(8) L'sarafina 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f). Off 11 months. Makes handicap debut. Returns from 338 days off and she needs a transformation on her handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

ENCHANTED NIGHT looked as if she was on an upward trajectory when scoring by one and a half lengths over 5f at Yarmouth 15 days ago and she appears to be the one to beat once again. Christine Dunnett's charge wasn't as effective off her new mark when slowly away over 6f at that same venue on Wednesday, but the return 5f will suit and she is fancied to bounce back to form. Lady Celia is feared most off a plummeting handicap mark, while Kyber Crystal could also get involved.

It could be worth chancing ACLAIM TO FAME, who's on a good mark if able to reproduce the form of her Redcar second. Lady Celia could be the danger.

This looks trappy but LADY CELIA gets the vote ahead of Kyber Crystal.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
14	14 (14) (25/1 +62%) Tea Sea	25 25/1(+62%)	(14) Tea Sea 25/1, Hinted at ability in 3 runs at Kempton last year and not disgraced when seventh over C&D on handicap debut. Could do with his mark dropping, though. Only seventh over C&D on seasonal/handicap debut but might come on for the run.
1	3 1st (3) (5.5/1 -65%) Isle Of Jura	5.5 5.5/1(-65%)	(3) Isle Of Jura 5.5/1, Unexposed and didn't have a hard time when a promising fourth in a novice at Wolverhampton last month. Bred to be much better than a BHA mark of 71, so merits respect with progress on the cards. Ran on well for fourth in 7f AW novice last month; back up in trip for handicap debut.
2	12 2nd (12) (12/1 +0%) Al Hargah	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) Al Hargah 12/1, 16/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago, responding well. Hasn't been the most reliable to date, so not certain to back that up. Came good in 0-60 at Leicester this month, her eighth run; more will be needed here.
3	9 3rd (9) (6/1 +14%) Vegas Jack	6 6/1(+14%)	(9) Vegas Jack 6/1, Good neck second of 8 to Racing Demon in handicap (85/40) at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 23 days ago, conceding first run. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Went close at Salisbury last month; has big role to play if aided by new cheekpieces.
4	10 4th (10) (8.5/1 -21%) Outgun	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(10) Outgun 8.5/1, Positives to glean from his 3 starts on the AW last year and duly upped his game with a highly-encouraging third over C&D on reappearance, the first home in his group. Could get off the mark with further progress on the cards. Good third over C&D on seasonal/handicap debut and likely to build on that effort.
5th	1 5th (1) (7.5/1 +66%) Zabbie	7.5 7.5/1(+66%)	(1) Zabbie 7.5/1, Juvenile winner over 7f but starting to look pretty exposed, fifth in handicap at Leicester 13 days ago. Vulnerable to better-handicapped rivals. Yet to win this season but went close off 3lb higher in May and is unexposed over 1m.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/1 +31%) Playupskyblues	11 11/1(+31%)	(8) Playupskyblues 11/1, Opened his account at the third attempt in novice at Redcar last year but down the field off what looked a stiff mark on handicap debut at Newmarket 3 months. Tried in tongue strap but needs to improve. 2yo winner in October but ran poorly on seasonal/handicap debut in April; had wind op.
7th	15 7th (15) (9/1 -29%) Racing Demon	9 9/1(-29%)	(15) Racing Demon 9/1, Going the right way lately, scoring at Chepstow then digging deep to supplement it at Salisbury last time, This is much tougher but he deserves respect. More exposed than most of these but won twice last month and can't be ignored.
8th	2 8th (2) (50/1 +0%) City Cyclone	50 50/1(+0%)	(2) City Cyclone 50/1, Fair maiden who is beginning to look quite well established and wasn't really on his game when fifth at Windsor last time. Drops back in trip on first run for new yard. Safely held on handicap debut in May (11.4f); drops back in trip for this stable debut.
9th	4 9th (4) (7.5/1 +17%) Ashmore	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(4) Ashmore 7.5/1, Excellent second on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m) and back on track when fourth at Newmarket last time. Unproven over this far but can't be ruled out with few miles on the clock. Quickly back on track with close fourth at Newmarket last month and enters calculations.
10th	7 10th (7) (28/1 +30%) Roar Emotion	28 28/1(+30%)	(7) Roar Emotion 28/1, Improved markedly after 8 months off to make a winning handicap debut in 12-runner event at Kempton in April but failed to back it up when last at this track a couple of months ago. Needs to bounce back after a break. Well beaten after refusing to settle in May but may yet build upon winning h'cap debut.
11th	17 11th (17) (16/1 +27%) Golden Phase	16 16/1(+27%)	(17) Golden Phase 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden who shaped well when 4½ lengths fourth of 12 to Clarko's Back in handicap at Kempton on penultimate start. Disappointed here last time and likely to struggle again from just out of the weights. Stayed on for fourth on handicap debut (AW) but recent C&D run was a backward step.
12th	6 12th (6) (12/1 -20%) Intricate Pillar	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Intricate Pillar 12/1, Off the mark at the second attempt last autumn and took another step in the right direction (despite not being seen to best effect) when fourth at Kempton 23 days ago. Could get involved with another improved effort. 7f AW winner; fourth on handicap debut; upped in trip for today's turf debut.
13th	13 13th (13) (22/1 +56%) Gwendolina	22 22/1(+56%)	(13) Gwendolina 22/1, Made successful handicap debut at Lingfield in January. However, below form switched to turf lately and others are more persuasive. Won on handicap debut in January but yet to make any further progress; others preferred.
14th	5 14th (5) (20/1 +9%) Chindwin	20 20/1(+9%)	(5) Chindwin 20/1, Cost plenty as a yearling but failed to pull up any trees in a handful of appearances in 2022 and hasn't fared much better so far this term. Only eighth of ten here (7f) last month and has now been unplaced all five starts.
15th	11 15th (11) (9/1 -125%) Decipher	9 9/1(-125%)	(11) Decipher 9/1, Signs of ability in maidens, particularly on debut, and she's bred to be much better than a BHA mark of 65, so worth monitoring in the betting on first go in handicaps. Out of a well-connected mare and has displayed promise in three maidens; handicap debut.
16th	16 16th (16) (80/1 -60%) Fantastic Artist	80 80/1(-60%)	(16) Fantastic Artist 80/1, Yet to offer much encouragement and failed to beat a rival on handicap debut at Chepstow last time. Tongue strap tried now but he's hard to make a case for. Last of eight on handicap debut; drops back from 1m2f with tongue-tie added.

LTO Selection:

VEGAS JACK has been running consistently well this season and he can go close in this wide-open contest. Adam West's charge was second over 1m at Salisbury last time, beaten just a neck by Racing Demon, who reopposes on this occasion. Ed de Giles' runner is 2lb worse off with that rival which may leave him vulnerable after that meagre success. Isle Of Jura heads the remainder.

OUTGUN was the best of those that came up the centre when third in a C&D handicap last month and, if more goes his way, this progressive gelding might well be able to open his account. Vegas Jack shaped well behind Racing Demon (who re-opposes) at Salisbury last time, so he's a danger, while Isle of Jura is a notable handicap debutant.

Top of the list is OUTGUN, who posted a good effort when placed over C&D on his seasonal/handicap debut and may well improve further.

Sets a good standard. Very easy winner at Downpatrick on comeback and looks the one to beat with more to come.
2	3 2nd (3) (2.5/1 +17%) Roedora	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(3) Roedora 2.5/1, Promising sort. Won 14-runner bumper at Down Royal (16.8f, good, 5/2) on NH debut 49 days ago. Likely to improve. Made a winning debut in a Down Royal 4yo fillies' bumper last month; strong contender.
3	7 3rd (7) (14/1 -17%) Jazzwing	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Jazzwing 14/1, Red Jazz mare. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Not bred for this game but respected connections, so worth a market check.

5th	2 5th (2) (18/1 -29%) Dark Image	18 18/1(-29%)	(2) Dark Image 18/1, Lightly-raced winner in bumpers. One win from 3 runs last season. Tongue strap on for 1st time, good fourth of 10 in bumper at Punchestown (16f, good, 12/1) 40 days ago. Decent efforts in defeat in winners' races; be involved but is vulnerable to a smart sort.
7th	8 7th (8) (200/1 +0%) Light Lady	200 200/1(+0%)	(8) Light Lady 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1 and hooded for 1st time, tenth of 12 in bumper at Sligo (18f, good) 12 days ago. Tailed-off both bumper starts and safe to pass her over.
9th	4 9th (4) (18/1 -29%) Dorset Lady	18 18/1(-29%)	(4) Dorset Lady 18/1, Creditable third of 10 in bumper (25/1) at Punchestown (16f, good) 40 days ago. Maiden was a fine third on return at Punchestown but needs to build upon that.
10th	6 10th (6) (80/1 -60%) Haley Grove Bonnie	80 80/1(-60%)	(6) Haley Grove Bonnie 80/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in bumper at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft, 66/1) on NH debut 11 days ago. Beaten 21l on recent debut in a Roscommon bumper, so lots of improvement is needed.
11th	9 11th (9) (200/1 +0%) Magical Lass	200 200/1(+0%)	(9) Magical Lass 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, first run since leaving John J. Walsh when seventeenth of 18 in bumper at Limerick (16.4f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Tailed-off both bumper starts and safe to pass her over.

LTO Selection:

ABI'S CHAMP filled the runner-up spot on debut at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and made no mistake when readily landing the odds at Downpatrick last month. That probably wasn't the strongest of races but the Willie Mullins-trained mare could not have won any easier. Roedara justified favouritism on debut at Down Royal last month but it's hard to gauge the merit of that performance as the first seven home were all newcomers who haven't raced since. Dark Image also won on debut at Limerick last summer but hasn't added to that success in four outings since, while Derek O'Connor is an interesting booking on the well-bred Feron Lake.

ABI'S CHAMP looked a good prospect when landing the odds in fine style at Downpatrick and can defy a penalty. Fellow-penalised winner Roedora is the obvious threat with Dorset Lady best of the others.

It is difficult to oppose ABI'S CHAMP after her impressive win against some useful geldings at Downpatrick.

1	3 1st (3) (2.5/1 +44%) Kellie's Dream	2.5 2.5/1(+44%)	(3) Kellie's Dream 2.5/1, One win from 3 runs last season. Back from 10 months off when creditable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) 8 days ago. Entitled to build on that and holds solid claims. Encouraging Downpatrick comeback run 8 days ago, entitled to come on for it.
2	16 2nd (16) (8/1 +11%) Silverstrand	8 8/1(+11%)	(16) Silverstrand 8/1, Respectable seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good, 11/1) 8 days ago. Figures off a handy mark. Best form over further, not sure this drop in trip will suit.

Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.1f, good to soft, 16/1) 14 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Hasn't looked a natural jumper; recent flat form okay so potential improver.
8th	15 8th (15) (11/1 +31%) Katzoff	11 11/1(+31%)	(15) Katzoff 11/1, Eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Wexford (17.4f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Others preferred. Poor under both codes, fair bit to find on recent Wexford run.

Hood on 1st time. Improvement required on handicap hurdle debut. Unexposed entering handicaps; hooded first-time and a potential improver.

LTO Selection:

A wide-open affair, with CRACKLINROSE the suggestion. Placed three times last summer, the Yeats six-year-old disappointed on her return to action at Tramore but is entitled to come on for that effort. She looks nicely treated off a mark of 80 and with Liam Quinlan claiming 5lb, it'll be disappointing if she is not involved towards the business end. A dual course and distance winner, Beat Of The Sea is given second preference. While it's approaching three years since her most recent success, she did run well to finish fifth on her latest start. Corkbeg has been disappointing since winning at Wexford in May but still warrants respect here as the highest rated runner in the line-up. Kellie's Dream also has a Wexford win to her name and has solid claims after running well to finish fourth on her recent return. Silverstrand is another leading contender, while market support for any of the handicap debutants would be of definite interest.

KELLIE'S DREAM is still relatively low mileage and made a pleasing return to action at Downpatrick last week. She gets the nod. Breagagh and Corkbeg also make the shortlist.

Quite open but perhaps KELLIE'S DREAM can come on enough from a promising comeback run to score for a second time over hurdles

Could improve markedly, especially now upped to 7f. Fourth at Haydock despite losing lengths at the start; stepped up to 7f this time.

Fared best of the newcomers when third in 11-runner maiden at Haydock (6f) on debut 15 days ago and seems sure to progress over this 1f longer trip. Promising third when 3-1 at Haydock and improvement looks on the cards.
4	6 4th (6) (3.5/1 +13%) Point Of Attack	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(6) Point Of Attack 3.5/1, Blue Point filly who went backwards from a promising debut in a more demanding environment when 12½ lengths fifth of 9 in listed race at this course (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Remains capable of better now returned to calmer waters. Well held in a Listed race latest; strong claims on strength of her debut effort (AW).

Should have more to offer back up in trip, but faces a much stiffer task now returned to novice company. 0-4 and beaten in a low-grade 6f handicap at Lingfield last week; no appeal.
9th	2 9th (2) (100/1 +33%) Damia	100 100/1(+33%)	(2) Damia 100/1, Showed only a bit more than on debut when seventh of 10 in 6f minor event at Kempton 9 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy. Couple of sevenths thus far, over 5f at Bath and 6f at Kempton; vulnerable in this company.

LTO Selection:

There was only a short-head to separate Summit (third) and WILD GODDESS (fourth) on their debuts at Haydock a fortnight ago. There was plenty to like about both performances but the eye was just drawn slightly more to the latter, who finished off well and is fancied to overturn the placings. Point Of Attack shaped with loads of promise when second at Lingfield on debut and, having been pitched into Listed company here at the start of the month, she cannot be discounted back at this level.

WILD GODDESS finished narrowly behind the reopposing Summit on her debut at Haydock, but was arguably greener and, with significant improvement forecast, is selected to reverse the form and come out on top over this 1f longer trip. Point of Attack remains with potential back in calmer waters, while Poutchek and Faithful Springs are a pair of interesting newcomers.

Summit shaded WILD GODDESS on their debut runs at Haydock but the selection did well to finish so close after blowing the start.

Much better for debut when third at Doncaster last month, still green but clear of rest. Can improve again. Ran a better race upped to 7f last time but he'll need another surge of progress to win.

LTO Selection:

Despite just five runners lining up here, this still appears to be a very difficult puzzle to solve, with the tentative selection being JONNY CONCRETE. Iain Jardine's charge was just touched off by the narrowest of margins over C&D on his racecourse debut here last month and a repeat of that effort could see him take all the beating. Ballymount Boy rates as the biggest danger after he made a pleasing start to his career when second of eight over 6f at Newmarket and he shouldn't be ruled out, while Gamraan could also be thereabouts.

JONNY CONCRETE split a pair of subsequent winners when just failing to make a successful debut over C&D last month so gets the vote. Greenness prevented Ballymount Boy from scoring first-time up at Newcastle so he's the obvious threat.

Jonny Concrete' debut second has been well franked since but BALLYMOUNT BOY may be open to greater improvement.

2	5 2nd (5) (2.5/1 +17%) Sleven	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(5) Sleven 2.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 16/1) 8 days ago, not knocked about. Can progress further so he's in the mix. Promising 5th at Doncaster last week on second start; open to further improvement; player.
8th	1 8th (1) (4/1 +33%) Action Plan	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) Action Plan 4/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 15/2) 13 days ago. Needs to step forward. Failed to take a step forward on his second start but might not be far away.
9th	9 9th (9) (33/1 +0%) Peaceful Protest	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Peaceful Protest 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. 25/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. More is required. Debut wasn't devoid of promise but well beaten since and others are preferred.
10th	7 10th (7) (6.5/1 -8%) Alfie Boy	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(7) Alfie Boy 6.5/1, Promising individual. 40/1, sixth of 10 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good) on debut 13 days ago. Should have more to offer. Fair sixth on recent debut at Carlisle and yard's 2yos tend to improve for initial outings.

LTO Selection:

Plenty of unraced colts and fillies so the market may provide the best guide to solving this puzzle. However, the form standard appears to be Sleven, who took a big step forward to finish fifth at Doncaster recently. Of the unraced runners, Richard Fahey is double handed with the speedily-bred ZIGGY'S CONDOR appearing the more fancied runner, ahead of Sailthisshipalone, and any market confidence behind him should be noted. Another to note is Royal Zabeel, who is a son of Mastercraftsman and could be ready to roll first time out.

The market should reveal plenty but the vote goes to Richard Fahey's well-related newcomer ZIGGY'S CONDOR. He can edge out the more experienced duo of Alfie Boy and Sleven who have both shown some fair form and look open to further progress. Kevin Ryan's debutant Royal Zabeel is another who needs considering in an open-looking novice.

Kevin Ryan is enjoying a productive season with his 2yos and ROYAL ZABEEL is taken to make a winning debut. Sleven is feared most.

LTO Selection:

With a mark of 118, SUNDIAL is the standout name. A son of Galileo and successful on the level when trained by Aidan O'Brien, he has yet to make the breakthrough in five starts over flights. A close-up fourth in the Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival in March, he takes a significant drop-in class now and is difficult to oppose. Padraig Roche trains the selection for JP McManus and the pair are also represented by newcomer Can't Buy Time. Out of a sister to 2016 Irish National winner Rogue Angel, the Getaway bay was purchased for E60,000 as a three-year-old. Placed six times from 17 career starts, Ta Na La is the biggest danger to Sundial, given significant weight differential. Mr Globalist, Mr Dibbs and Sidiriya are likely to be fighting it out for minor honours.

TA NA LA has made a promising start over hurdles and is fancied to build on her Tramore second and go one better at the chief expense of Fred Winter-fourth Sundial who rates much the biggest threat. Mr Globalist appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

In receipt of 20lb, Ta Na La, can make a race of it with SUNDIAL but the Fred Winter fourth should be able to deal with her

1	2 1st (2) (3.5/1 +13%) Outrun The Storm	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(2) Outrun The Storm 3.5/1, Won twice last season but finished down the field on his first 2 starts of the current campaign. However, he fared better when third of 6 at Doncaster (7f) 20 days ago, albeit having the run of things. Task is now to build on his latest effort. Well handicapped and the signs were more encouraging last time at Doncaster.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 -9%) Strike	6 6/1(-9%)	(6) Strike 6/1, Won at this course (6f) last August and has been working his way back to form this season, running creditably back down in grade when third at Salisbury (6f) last month. Capable of getting involved having dropped to his last winning mark. Returning to this far is worth a go after a keeping-on third over shorter at Salisbury.
3	1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 +36%) Royal Musketeer	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(1) Royal Musketeer 4.5/1, Eleven runs since his last win in 2022 but he produced another creditable effort when sixth of 15 at Doncaster (7f) last time, denied a clear run over 1f out. Can give another good account. It hasn't been too shoddy a start to this season, beaten 3.5l or less.
4	7 4th (7) (8/1 +27%) The Spotlight Kid	8 8/1(+27%)	(7) The Spotlight Kid 8/1, Won at Yarmouth (7f) on his final two starts last year. Yet to fire so far this season, finishing mid-field at Kempton (1m) last time, but he remains lightly raced on turf so he's not one to write off back down in trip. Dual 7f winner but risks are attached after a quiet start to this campaign.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 +11%) Jack Sparowe	16 16/1(+11%)	(4) Jack Sparowe 16/1, Showed promise switched to handicaps on his final two starts last year, conceding first run when only narrowly denied at Kempton (1m) on the second occasion. Has been off 8 months since but he could still have more to offer. Has races in him off this mark but perhaps best watched first time back.
6th	8 6th (8) (7/1 -133%) Weydaad	7 7/1(-133%)	(8) Weydaad 7/1, After 6 months off, shaped well on her handicap debut when third of 11 at Kempton (7f) 23 days ago, nearest at the finish having not been ideally placed. Can build on that and make her first start on turf a winning one. Third on handicap debut; unraced on turf but Buick is booked and she looks interesting.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/1 -47%) Nikki's Girl	11 11/1(-47%)	(3) Nikki's Girl 11/1, Without her usual headgear, shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when third at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago, finishing with running left having been hampered in the straight. Enters calculations from below her last winning mark. Triple winner who would surely have won with any luck last time at Wolverhampton.
8th	9 8th (9) (40/1 -150%) Got No Dollars	40 40/1(-150%)	(9) Got No Dollars 40/1, Eleven runs since his last win in 2022 (all four victories on the all-weather). After a couple of respectable efforts early this year, ran well below form at Chelmsford when last seen in February. Others preferred back on turf with visor now applied. Best form on the AW but up and down on those surfaces this year; new headgear tried.
9th	5 9th (5) (3.33/1 +58%) My Mate Ted	3.33 3.33/1(+58%)	(5) My Mate Ted 3.33/1, Back on his lower turf mark, fared no better after a 6-week break when eighth of 14 at Windsor (8.1f) 4 days ago. Needs to step up on what he's shown so far this season with visor now reached for. On a good mark but much depends on what effect the visor has.

LTO Selection:

An open handicap where a case can be made for most, however, the unexposed WEYDAAD narrowly edges the vote having finished third on her first start in similar company at Kempton last month. Jack Sparowe makes his belated seasonal debut following a close second on his final start last year and enters calculations. The Ed Dunlop-trained Nikki's Girl showed a return to form when third at Wolverhampton last time and a repeat effort would put her bang there.

WEYDAAD shaped well on her seasonal/handicap debut when third at Kempton last month, doing good late work from an unpromising position, so she's taken to open her account as she makes her first start on turf. Nikki's Girl returned to form on her latest outing and is feared most ahead of Strike, who won at this course last summer.

It was a promising first run in handicaps by WEYDAAD and the booking of William Buick heightens interest further.

1	4 1st (4) (12/1 -33%) Dc Flyer	12 12/1(-33%)	(4) Dc Flyer 12/1, Gelded on back of debut in May and showed a little more when fifth in an 8-runner novice here (5f) in June despite still looking green. Finished well held in a Carlisle maiden (5f) since though and more needed now sent handicapping. Only modest form in three 5f runs on good ground; new trip needs to give him a lift.
2	1 2nd (1) (0.73/1 +27%) Beyond Borders	0.73 0.73/1(+27%)	(1) Beyond Borders 0.73/1, Offered something to work on amidst inexperience when fifth on debut at Ayr (6f) in June but far from flashy when off the mark at second attempt in a Thirsk novice (6f) 16 days ago (well drawn). Still, yard do well with their juveniles and switch to nurseries a plus. Still green when winning at Thirsk on 2nd start; opening mark fair; leading contender.
3	2 3rd (2) (4.5/1 -29%) Swift Salian	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(2) Swift Salian 4.5/1, Holy Roman Emperor colt who has been brought along gradually in trio of maidens, running best race ridden more prominently when runner-up at Musselburgh (7.2f) 18 days ago. Not out of things on nursery bow. Behind Beyond Borders on 2nd start; ran well over 7f last time; needs more to win.
4	3 4th (3) (3/1 +0%) Up The Jazz	3 3/1(+0%)	(3) Up The Jazz 3/1, Lightly-raced colt who ran well when just touched off in Rous Seller at York 2 starts back, just failing. Well backed, not seen to best effect when third in a Chester seller (7f) since and he's one to be interested in now handicapping. Beaten in sellers the last twice but his opening mark looks fair enough.

LTO Selection:

BEYOND BORDERS won more cosily than the half-length winning distance would suggest over 6f at Thirsk earlier this month and he looks the one to beat here. Karl Burke's runner is having his first run in handicap company and his opening mark of 70 doesn't appear out of his reach. Similar comments apply to Swift Salian, who also makes his handicap bow after a decent second over 7f at Musselburgh last time and this drop in trip could suit, while Dc Flyer completes the shortlist.

BEYOND BORDERS was only workmanlike when off the mark at the second attempt in a Thirsk novice 16 days ago but he represents a yard that do particularly well with their juveniles, and it would come as no surprise to see him improve more now handicapping. Up The Jazz is feared most over Swift Salian.

Having still looked green when winning at Thirsk this could be a good opportunity for BEYOND BORDERS to win again.

6th	6 6th (6) (40/1 -100%) Missutoo	40 40/1(-100%)	(6) Missutoo 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, twelfth of 14 in seller at York (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Needs to step forward on her handicap debut. Hasn't shown much across first four starts and improvement required on her nursery debut.

LTO Selection:

KEEP WARM is hard to get away from having won in cosy style over C&D 10 days ago and although a 6lb penalty is sure make life tougher for him, the manner of his victory suggested there may be more to come. Doubletalk was a shade disappointing having failed to beat a rival home at Haydock a fortnight ago but could be worth another chance now making her nursery bow. Amy Murphy applies blinkers to Brooklyn Express for the first time and he could be a threat to all if having the desired effect.

KEEP WARM still looks ahead of his mark despite saddling a 6 lb penalty for his recent C&D success so looks the way to go in a nursery where most arrive with a question mark against them. Patasola appeals as the one to chase home the favourite ahead of Crack The Kode.

This race looks weaker than the C&D contest in which KEEP WARM made a winning nursery debut last week and he can defy a 6lb penalty.

LTO Selection:

NATURAL LOOK was a convincing winner at Cork a week ago and should be able to follow up with Ray Barron claiming a valuable 7lb. A model of consistency last season, the Ocovango seven-year-old disappointed on her first two starts this term, before comfortably dismissing 14-rivals at Cork. Upped 10lb for that success, she might still be ahead of the handicapper on a career high mark of 110. Thornleigh Frank was also successful last week, landing a gamble on his handicap debut at Downpatrick. An 11lb hike from the handicapper duly followed and it'll be interesting to see how he copes with that rise. Goodie Girl is another last time out winner in the line-up and she is sure to have plenty of supporters after her surprise Downpatrick win. Twice-raced since winning at Roscommon in July of 2021, Spoiled Rotten warrants respect, while other leading contenders here are Betty Dutton, Hot As Pepper and Bold Emperor, with the latter rated 12lb higher over fences.

THORNLEIGH FRANK was so impressive at Downpatrick last week that even an 11 lb rise may not stop him. Natural Look also had plenty in hand when winning on his latest start and is second choice ahead of Dermot McLoughlin's Goodie Girl.

Two shrewd yards clash with easy last-time-out winners and NATURAL LOOK is given preference over the less-exposed Thornleigh Frank

Shaped as if better for the run after 8 months off when third at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 7 weeks ago and he remains with potential. York winner; pleasing return behind a good horse at Doncaster; considered.
6th	3 6th (3) (7/1 +7%) Kiaraad	7 7/1(+7%)	(3) Kiaraad 7/1, Havana Grey gelding who produced a promising first effort when runner-up at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) last month and went one better a fortnight on at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm), albeit not left with much to beat on the day. He's open to further improvement. Easy to pick holes in his Beverley form but it looked good.
7th	8 7th (8) (200/1 -60%) Kalamunda	200 200/1(-60%)	(8) Kalamunda 200/1, Finished down the field in pair of novice events 9 weeks apart and shouldn't be good enough to feature in this. Beaten about 10l in both runs and was well behind Elnajmm in the latest.
8th	5 8th (5) (150/1 -127%) Connected	150 150/1(-127%)	(5) Connected 150/1, Twilight Son gelding who made some appeal on paper but ran to only a modest level when seventh in Windsor novice (8.1f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. Entitled to do better with that under his belt. Never dangerous after a slow start at Windsor and has plenty to find with Elnajmm.
9th	10 9th (10) (150/1 -127%) Port Erin	150 150/1(-127%)	(10) Port Erin 150/1, Down the field at Wolverhampton on sole 2-y-o start and shaped as if needing the run after 9 months off when well held in maiden at Windsor (10f, good to firm) recently. In good hands but he'll probably be seen in a better light in handicaps after this. Comfortably held at 8.6f and 1m2f; handicaps beckon after this.
10th	11 10th (11) (150/1 -20%) Expert Bear	150 150/1(-20%)	(11) Expert Bear 150/1, Expert Eye filly who showed ability when mid-field in a Wolverhampton novice (7.2f) on debut 25 days ago. She looks one for the longer term. Also hooded at Wolverhampton (7f) and never counted after a slow start; opposable.
11th	4 11th (4) (150/1 +0%) Andarax	150 150/1(+0%)	(4) Andarax 150/1, New Bay colt who looked badly in need of the experience when finishing well held on debut at Kempton (7f) 10 months ago. Has since left John & Thady Gosden (7,000 gns and gelded) and headgear is reached for. Down the field in just one run for the Gosdens and was sold on for 7,000gns.

LTO Selection:

This looks like an ideal opportunity for ELNAJMM to open his account having filled the runner-up spot on both starts to date. The son of Sea The Stars went agonisingly close over this trip at Windsor earlier this month and is hard to oppose. Kiaraad was an impressive winner of a maiden at Beverley but a 5lb penalty makes life tougher, while Jeff Koons failed to live up to market expectations when second at Kempton on debut in April but has been given plenty of time to mature since.

ELNAJMM has hit the crossbar on both outings so far and, having looked an unlucky loser on return at Windsor just under 3 weeks ago, William Haggas' colt is fancied to make it third time lucky. The main danger may emerge from Modesty, who remains with potential having shaped as if better for the run after 8 months off at Doncaster 7 weeks ago. English Oak and Kiaraad are another couple to consider.

A good novice. ELNAJMM is evidently a winner waiting to happen having been held back by his inexperience thus far.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (5.5/1 +31%) Paws For Thought	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(5) Paws For Thought 5.5/1, Thrived with 7f wins at Chester and Haydock in recent weeks. Back up in the weights as a result but he has won over 6f before and has to enter the reckoning in his current mood. 2-2 since wind surgery, both over 7f on good ground; can't discount in current form.
2	2 2nd (2) (12/1 -50%) Chairmanoftheboard	12 12/1(-50%)	(2) Chairmanoftheboard 12/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Placed twice at Newmarket in the spring but needs to shrug off a couple of lesser runs since. Big chance on this season's best form but last two runs have been below par.
3	12 3rd (12) (5/1 +29%) Rock Melody	5 5/1(+29%)	(12) Rock Melody 5/1, Pair of 5f Musselburgh wins in recent weeks. Couldn't land the hat-trick but showed she's at least as good over 6f when running on for third in a competitive race at Ayr on Monday. Big player. Back on the up since reinvented as a sprinter; good 3rd at Ayr on Monday; each-way claims.
4	10 4th (10) (4/1 +11%) Khunan	4 4/1(+11%)	(10) Khunan 4/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021 but he did shape as if he might be able to put that right soon when second of 10 in at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, pulling clear of the rest. Respected. Up 4lb for latest Haydock 2nd but that's strong form & he's still well treated; big chance.
5th	1 5th (1) (16/1 -33%) Hyperfocus	16 16/1(-33%)	(1) Hyperfocus 16/1, Veteran who resumed winning ways in style in 5f handicap at Ripon (heavy) in April. Creditable third of 8 at Chester (6f, good) since. Conditions to suit and he comes here in top form; others perhaps better treated though.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 +8%) Fools Rush In	11 11/1(+8%)	(6) Fools Rush In 11/1, Has yet to fire this year, well held at Ayr on Monday. Is starting to look well handicapped but has too much to prove. Yet to really fire for current yard and Monday's Ayr run was lacklustre.
7th	13 7th (13) (12/1 +52%) Ramon Di Loria	12 12/1(+52%)	(13) Ramon Di Loria 12/1, Latest win at Carlisle in May. Ran well for second over C&D earlier this month but he found his run of good form coming to a halt when behind some of these at Ayr on Monday. Not seen to best effect at Ayr on Monday but this looks a shade too competitive.
8th	7 8th (7) (5/1 +0%) Illusionist	5 5/1(+0%)	(7) Illusionist 5/1, Now 2 lb lower than when successful at York last year and he ran his most encouraging race since his reappearance when fourth of 16 at Ayr (6f, good) on Monday. Claims if he can build on that. C&D winner; on a good mark and Monday's Ayr fourth was promising; interesting.
9th	11 9th (11) (10/1 +0%) Another Baar	10 10/1(+0%)	(11) Another Baar 10/1, Notched a third success of the campaign at Beverley (5f) last month. Creditable third at Ripon (6f) and Newmarket (5f) since but they suggest the handicapper may have him about right for now. Progressive 3yo; another sound run at Newmarket latest; further progress required to win.
10th	8 10th (8) (18/1 +10%) Bay Breeze	18 18/1(+10%)	(8) Bay Breeze 18/1, Won over 6f at Ripon in April and Thirsk in May. Good third back at Ripon last month but not at his best twice since. Two 6f wins this season but the handicapper may have his measure now.
11th	9 11th (9) (16/1 -60%) Gis A Sub	16 16/1(-60%)	(9) Gis A Sub 16/1, Winless during his 3-y-o campaign. Shaped quite encouragingly on his Newmarket reappearance in May but hasn't built on it since, finishing 6 lengths behind the reopposing Khunan when fourth at Haydock last time. Blinkers refitted. Mark continues to fall but need to see more. Two of three runs this year have offered promise; down in weights; revival not impossible.
12th	3 12th (3) (50/1 -178%) Jump The Gun	50 50/1(-178%)	(3) Jump The Gun 50/1, Course winner but down the field all 4 starts this season. Needs a recent wind operation and the fitting of a tongue tie to have a positive effect. Well treated now if a recent wind operation has the desired effect; cheekpieces absent.
13th	4 13th (4) (20/1 -67%) Autumn Festival	20 20/1(-67%)	(4) Autumn Festival 20/1, Won 7 times over 7f/1m last season. Bit mixed this time round but latest second at Musselburgh (7f) was a step back in the right direction. Tries his luck over a sprint trip now for only the second time in his career. On a winning mark and ran well last time; not sure to benefit from the drop to 6f though.

LTO Selection:

ROCK MELODY wasn't beaten far when seeking a hat-trick over 6f at Ayr last time and she appears primed to make another bold bid this evening. Jim Goldie's charge was beaten just half a length into third that day and she has a good chance off the same mark today. Paws For Thought is likely to be the biggest danger after successive wins over 7f at Chester and Haydock, but he will have to overcome a 3lb rise in the ratings for his latest success, while Hyperfocus is another to consider.

The way ROCK MELODY finished off for third in a big field at Ayr on Monday suggests she still has some mileage in her mark and she can resume winning ways. Khunan took a big step back in the right direction at Haydock recently and is second choice ahead of the thriving Paws For Thought and Illusionist, who was close up in fourth in behind the selection at Ayr on Monday.

A 4lb rise for KHUNAN (nap)'s latest second looks generous and he can prove too strong for Illusionist.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/1 +17%) Vaccine	5 5/1(+17%)	(4) Vaccine 5/1, Winless since his 2-y-o days but he did run right up to best when second in 16-runner C&D handicap in April. Shaped as if he'd strip fitter for the run when midfield in last month's Carlisle Bell and he's been eased 1 lb in weights ahead of this. Merely mid-division in the Carlisle Bell but two good runs over this C&D previously.
2	9 2nd (9) (22/1 -38%) Perfect Swiss	22 22/1(-38%)	(9) Perfect Swiss 22/1, C&D winner who proved a model of consistency during a pretty busy AW campaign over the winter. Below best at Wetherby (1m) in April and this run may well just bring him on following an 82-day lay off. Returns from a break having not been at his best in the spring on his last few starts.
3	3 3rd (3) (12/1 -20%) Mahanakhon	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Mahanakhon 12/1, Stepped up on comeback run and benefited from a patient ride when opening his account in novice company at Wetherby (7f) in April. Every chance when third on handicap debut at Leicester (8.2f) next time but needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Redcar latest. Disappointing at Redcar last time but in good form previously and not ruled out.
4	1 4th (1) (6.5/1 +13%) Hartswood	6.5 6.5/1(+13%)	(1) Hartswood 6.5/1, Endured a disappointing 2022 but mark tumbled as a result and he capitalised on the back of 7 months to score at Thirsk (1m) in May, suited by the way the race developed. This rates tougher but he remains with handicapping scope. Capitalised on reduced mark on reappearance at Thirsk and could play another leading role.
5th	6 5th (6) (3.5/1 -27%) Kentucky Bluegrass	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(6) Kentucky Bluegrass 3.5/1, Much-improved upon returning this term (gelded over the winter), landing back-to-back novice events at Redcar/Lingfield (at up to 7.6f). Goes handicapping with yard firmly amongst the winners and respected as sole 3-y-o in the line-up. Two novice wins this year and this unexposed 3yo has potential off his opening mark.
6th	2 6th (2) (2.25/1 +44%) Beltane	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(2) Beltane 2.25/1, Returned an improved model on turf this term, gaining second success from 4 starts (first for this yard) at Beverley (8.5f, soft) in June, doing well to hold off one played late in a strongly-run race. Of interest again from 2 lb higher mark. In top form this season and can be bang there once more.
7th	10 7th (10) (25/1 +38%) Fiftyshadesaresdev	25 25/1(+38%)	(10) Fiftyshadesaresdev 25/1, Fair maiden handicapper who didn't kick on from a big run when second at York last spring. Modest form at best in trio of juvenile/novice hurdles during the winter and probably best watched on return to action. Well treated on C&D form up to last June but failed to shine after; may be best watched.
8th	8 8th (8) (18/1 -64%) Tiger Beetle	18 18/1(-64%)	(8) Tiger Beetle 18/1, Boasts just the one win from 20 starts (gained on AW) but undoubtedly capable from this sort of mark, again running respectably when midfield in 10-runner Doncaster handicap (1m) 3 weeks ago. Others appeal a little more for win purposes, however. Has dropped to a tempting mark but needs something extra and has a modest strike-rate.
9th	5 9th (5) (8/1 +33%) Ventura Rascal	8 8/1(+33%)	(5) Ventura Rascal 8/1, Resumed winning ways in a C&D claiming handicap 12 months ago. Lightly raced subsequently, but confirmed he retains his ability in 2 outings this campaign, close-up fourth of 9 at Ayr (1m) in May. Absent since but he has edged back down to last winning mark. Two-time C&D winner who has run well on both starts this season and could be in the mix.

LTO Selection:

KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS remains unbeaten since being gelded last year and, having won at Lingfield in impressive fashion last month, he is likely to prove a tough nut to crack in his search for a hat-trick of victories. Beltane is arguably unlucky not to have won all three starts since moving to Mick Appleby. However, he did manage to get his head in front at Beverley last time and remains open to improvement. Hartswood justified market support to score at Thirsk in May and he is likely to enter the reckoning.

BELTANE has proven a much more reliable proposition this campaign, gaining his second victory this term and his first for Mick Appleby at Beverley 31 days ago, doing well to fend off one who was played later. Only 2 lb higher now, he gets the nod to continue the good work. 3-y-o Kentucky Bluegrass arrives in search of the hat-trick for a stable in very good form and is feared. Vaccine and Devasboy complete the shortlist.

The admirably consistent BELTANE (nap) won at Beverley last month and is taken to follow up. Kentucky Bluegrass is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (0.36/1 +70%) Choice Of Words	0.36 0.36/1(+70%)	(1) Choice Of Words 0.36/1, Fairly useful chaser. Excellent second of 14 in novice chase at this course (19.1f, good to soft, 5/1) 70 days ago, clear of rest. Outstanding claims. Best chase run when a clear second in C&D beginners' in May; major player.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 -122%) Jungle Prose	5 5/1(-122%)	(4) Jungle Prose 5/1, Useful hurdler. Four wins from 8 runs last season. 11/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good) 19 days ago, losing place before 4 out. Makes chase debut. One to consider. Ideally wants further but the best of these over hurdles and the one to beat on chase bow.
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 +25%) Will You Win	12 12/1(+25%)	(7) Will You Win 12/1, Fair chaser. One win from 29 NH runs. Winner in hurdle at Clonmel in April. Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Cork (20f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Has been running creditably in handicap hurdles but unlikely player on second chase start.
4	5 4th (5) (7.5/1 -50%) Mousey Brown	7.5 7.5/1(-50%)	(5) Mousey Brown 7.5/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. Career best when winning 13-runner novice hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good, 13/2) 30 days ago, driven out. Makes chase debut. One to note. Recent bumper/maiden hurdle winner at Wexford; straight over fences now.
5th	2 5th (2) (250/1 -400%) Glen Ali	250 250/1(-400%)	(2) Glen Ali 250/1, Tenth of 15 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Tramore (21.1f, good) 49 days ago. Makes chase debut. Poor hurdles form and makes no appeal here on chasing debut.
6th	6 6th (6) (100/1 -52%) Theblazen Queen	100 100/1(-52%)	(6) Theblazen Queen 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in novice chase (100/1) at Tipperary (16.8f, soft) on NH debut 17 days ago. None too fluent when last of 4 finishers on chase bow early this month; may need more time.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (22/1 -10%) Intersky Sunset	22 22/1(-10%)	(3) Intersky Sunset 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Tenth of 12 in novice chase at Tramore (21.4f, soft, 40/1) on debut over fences. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Paul Traynor. Beaten a long way on chasing debut at Tramore in December when last seen for Paul Traynor.

LTO Selection:

CHOICE OF WORDS gets the nod over Jungle Prose and Mousey Brown. The selection went down by just half a length here in May and was fancied by some shrewd judges for the Midlands National last week. As second reserve, she ultimately didn't get a run. Given a mark of 121, the eight-year-old should prove hard to beat, representing Punchestown Gold Cup winning connections. Jungle Prose was a revelation over flights late last year, rattling off four wins in a row. Second on her penultimate outing at Wexford, she makes her debut over fences now and should be able to make her presence felt. Mousey Brown has won her last two at Wexford and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to complete the hat-trick. Successful in a point-to-point on debut, the Califet six-year-old is clearly a talented individual. The remaining four contenders look up against it, with Will You Win the best of them.

CHOICE OF WORDS pulled clear of the rest when collared in the dying strides over this C&D when last seen in May and she is taken to go one better this time. Jungle Prose ran no sort of a race in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter recently but she will be a serious threat if she puts her best foot forward now switched to fences. Best of the rest is Mousey Brown, who appears to be going the right way judged on her victories over hurdles the last twice and she was a point winner earlier this year.

Little strength in depth here with JUNGLE PROSE expected to make a winning chasing debut at the expense of Choice Of Words

1	4 1st (4) (22/1 +0%) Fantasy Believer	22 22/1(+0%)	(4) Fantasy Believer 22/1, Yet to score in 2023 but he arrives in decent nick, fifth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago. Up in trip and can go well again. Ran well on last two turf attempts but there are questions to answer over this far.
2	2 2nd (2) (14/1 +36%) Gloucestershire	14 14/1(+36%)	(2) Gloucestershire 14/1, Off 4 months before posting a respectable fourth of 10 in handicap over C&D 21 days ago. Needs considering with that run under his belt. Had a spell in the USA; hasn't looked well handicapped since returning to Britain.
3	11 3rd (11) (4.5/1 +50%) Therapist	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(11) Therapist 4.5/1, Took a step forward on her handicap debut to get off the mark over C&D (good to firm) 20 days ago. Up 4 lb but she's still not taken lightly. Raised in class with a 4lb higher mark to deal with but may have more to offer.
4	1 4th (1) (3.5/1 -56%) Royal Symbol	3.5 3.5/1(-56%)	(1) Royal Symbol 3.5/1, Debut Kempton winner and off 17 months/had wind op before fair fourth of 6 in minor event at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 66 days ago. Tongue strap on for handicap debut. Not ruled out. Sandown return was a bit underwhelming having been easy to back; handicap debut.
5th	8 5th (8) (28/1 -75%) First Officer	28 28/1(-75%)	(8) First Officer 28/1, Took a step back in the right direction when third of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 43 days ago. Back up in trip and no forlorn hope off an easing mark. Back to form at Yarmouth but others are still preferred in this warmer handicap.
6th	7 6th (7) (2/1 +20%) Ziryab	2 2/1(+20%)	(7) Ziryab 2/1, Got off the mark at Leicester in June but not seen to best effect when fifth of 15 in handicap at Royal Ascot (10f, good to firm) 27 days ago, making his effort earlier than ideal. Remains with potential so this Kingman colt is very much one to consider. Fifth in a Royal Ascot handicap and did well to finish that close after racing freely.
7th	6 7th (6) (50/1 +60%) Wilkie	50 50/1(+60%)	(6) Wilkie 50/1, Failed to come on for his reappearance when last of 19 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 63 days ago. Hooded for 1st time now. Has a win to his name but the wheels have come off big time and he's now hooded.
8th	10 8th (10) (14/1 -17%) Pjanoo	14 14/1(-17%)	(10) Pjanoo 14/1, Fair maiden who resumed from 9 months off with a very good second of 4 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) 42 days ago. In the picture nudged up just 1 lb. The time wasn't great when second at Haydock and this is much deeper.
9th	5 9th (5) (10/1 +29%) Coco Jack	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) Coco Jack 10/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time when respectable fifth of 9 in handicap here (8f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Headgear dispensed with now but he can give another good account. Now exposed and had no excuses from a good position when fifth here last week.
10th	12 10th (12) (8.5/1 +53%) Moonlit Cloud	8.5 8.5/1(+53%)	(12) Moonlit Cloud 8.5/1, Dual 1m2f winner this term who has continued on the up, second of 10 in handicap over C&D 21 days ago. Can make her presence felt again despite taking a 3 lb rise. Consistent mare and in form, but looks vulnerable promoted to Class 3 level.
11th	9 11th (9) (20/1 -43%) Defence Of Fort	20 20/1(-43%)	(9) Defence Of Fort 20/1, Debut 7f Ascot winner who wasn't discredited after 7 months off when seventh of 11 on his handicap debut at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm) 55 days ago. Needs considering now stepping up in trip. Hasn't gone on from his promising debut win at Ascot and has a bit to prove now.

LTO Selection:

ROYAL SYMBOL shaped better than the beaten distance suggests when fourth on his belated return to action at Sandown in May, and Charlie Appleby's gelding looks fairly treated on his handicap debut. Like A Tiger was perhaps a little disappointing in a Listed event last time, nevertheless, a 77-day break and return to handicap company may see the three-year-old prove more competitive. Ziryab and Therapist are just but two others to note in a competitive contest.

Kingman colt ZIRYAB had looked firmly on the up until not seen to best effect when fifth at Royal Ascot so is worth another chance to confirm himself a useful colt in the making. Moonlit Cloud is more exposed but arrives at the top of her game and seems sure to have a say, while the handily-weighted Like A Tiger and C&D scorer Therapist need factoring into a highly competitive handicap too.

The 3yo ZIRYAB will need to settle better than he did at Royal Ascot but the potential is there to be the best handicapped of these.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1/1 -10%) Chesspiece	1 1/1(-10%)	(1) Chesspiece 1/1, Made a winning handicap debut upped to 1½m at the York Dante meeting and coped with the step up to 14.2f in Group company when third at Royal Ascot next time (Circle of Fire 1¼ lengths adrift in fourth). Drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue and this unexposed colt is just about the one to beat. Won 2 of his 4 starts; good run at Royal Ascot; return to a shorter trip in his favour.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/1 +14%) Sea Of Roses	6 6/1(+14%)	(5) Sea Of Roses 6/1, Useful filly who returned to action with a good second in Group 3 at Saint Cloud. No threat in the Musidora/Oaks next 2 starts but back on track when fifth of 17 in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot last month and a repeat of that form would give her a fighting chance. Ran well at Royal Ascot and shorter trip/slower ground bring her right into the picture.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.75/1 +21%) Circle Of Fire	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(2) Circle Of Fire 2.75/1, Reappearance second to Castle Way in a listed race at Newmarket in May represents solid form. Hasn't kicked on from that in 2 subsequent starts, albeit he wasn't far behind Chesspiece when fourth in the Queen's Vase last time and should again make his presence felt. Three solid runs this year but something to find with Chesspiece on Royal Ascot form.
4	3 4th (3) (5.5/1 -22%) Salt Bay	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(3) Salt Bay 5.5/1, Winner of 1m Haydock maiden on debut last September before taking a big step forward when third in a French Group 1 the following month. Disappointing when behind Circle of Fire on return at Newmarket but he remains of strong interest in view of his 2-y-o promise. Group 1-placed in the mud as a 2yo; low-key return in May but better than that; chance.
5th	4 5th (4) (25/1 +38%) Crackovia	25 25/1(+38%)	(4) Crackovia 25/1, Fairly useful juvenile who scored twice around 1m last summer. Not disgraced in pattern company on first 2 starts of this season safely held in a Royal Ascot handicap last time and she has plenty to find with each of her 4 rivals here. Listed-placed in Germany as a 2yo; looks to face a stiff task in this field.

LTO Selection:

A small but select field for the feature race, in which SALT BAY is taken to open his account for the season. The Ralph Beckett-trained colt failed to handle the undulations of Newmarket on his seasonal debut but has been given plenty of time since and edges the vote. Chesspiece looks the obvious threat having finished a creditable third behind Gregory in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot, while Circle of Fire was just over a length back in fourth in that same race and he can't be discounted now dropping in trip.

The Crisfords saddled the winner of this in 2022 and can repeat the dose with CHESSPIECE, who was acquired by Godolphin after winning a York handicap and his subsequent third to a potential star future stayer at Royal Ascot was no backward step. Salt Bay is greatly respected on account of his 2-y-o promise and will be a big threat if putting his disappointing Newmarket reappearance behind him. Circle of Fire wasn't far behind Chesspiece at Royal Ascot and has claims, along with Sea of Roses.

Sea Of Roses can go well back on slower ground but CHESSPIECE is progressing well and can capitalise on this drop in grade.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +0%) Copper Knight	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Copper Knight 5/1, Bounced back to form when taking 18-runner handicap at York (5f, good, 11/1) 7 days ago. Remains fairly treated under a 4 lb penalty and must enter calculations. 9yo who won in a big field at York last Friday and can make another bold bid.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.5/1 +13%) Elegant Erin	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(5) Elegant Erin 3.5/1, Four-time winner last season who has shaped well in both starts this term, latest when 1¾ lengths fifth of 18 to Copper Knight in handicap at York (5f, good) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Shortlisted. Four wins last year and ran well at York last Friday; in calculations.
3	3 3rd (3) (4.5/1 +63%) Pillow Talk	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(3) Pillow Talk 4.5/1, Below form thirteenth of 26 in handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm, 22/1) 28 days ago, not ideally placed. Others preferred. Raced on unfavoured far side when midfield in 3yo h'cap at Royal Ascot and not ruled out.
4	7 4th (7) (4.5/1 +50%) Mattice	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(7) Mattice 4.5/1, Dual winner last season who has acquitted himself well in recent starts, latest when ¾-length third of 18 to stablemate Copper Knight in handicap at York (5f, good) 7 days ago. Likely to make presence felt. Close third of 18 to Copper Knight at York last Friday and a win could be imminent.
5th	4 5th (4) (4.5/1 -50%) Russet Gold	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(4) Russet Gold 4.5/1, Made it third time lucky at 2 yrs and stepped up on his comeback run to double his tally at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last month, seen to maximum effect in grabbing the far rail. Only has few miles on the clock so no surprise if he's in the mix again. Won Redcar handicap last month and this well-bred 3yo is open to further improvement.
6th	2 6th (2) (4.5/1 +0%) Rocket Rodney	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(2) Rocket Rodney 4.5/1, Dual winner at 2 yrs and back on track when second of 8 in handicap (10/3) at Doncaster (5f, firm) 14 days ago. Warrants respect. 2yo Listed winner who got back on track when runner-up in recent Doncaster handicap.

LTO Selection:

Russet Gold justified favouritism getting up to triumph at Redcar last month, but Roger Varian's gelding will find life tougher off 5lb more at this higher level. ALLIGATOR ALLEY returned to form when beaten just over one length at Doncaster in mid-June and the six-year-old may snap up a 1lb drop in the ratings. Rocket Rodney posted his best effort of the season when second over the same C&D as the selection a fortnight ago and also enters calculations running off the same mark.

ELEGANT ERIN has caught the eye in both starts this term and will appreciate this stiffer course. She can resume winning ways. Copper Knight and Mattice are feared most in what looks a competitive contest.

Copper Knight beat Mattice and ELEGANT ERIN in a big field at York last week but the mare gets the nod at this stiffer course.

Did well to win over slightly farther here in spite of some indifferent jumping; up 5lb.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/1 +73%) Junior Rattler	6 6/1(+73%)	(7) Junior Rattler 6/1, Bit below form ninth of 19 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Tipperary (24.3f, good to soft) 78 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Down in trip. Noteworthy that he was made favourite for h'cap debut at Thurles in February (beaten 40l).
3	9 3rd (9) (4.5/1 +55%) Wrong Direction	4.5 4.5/1(+55%)	(9) Wrong Direction 4.5/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Seamus Spillane when respectable second of 16 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.8f, good to soft, 7/1) 31 days ago. Warrants respect. After two years off, excellent second of 16 to subsequent winner at Wexford (2m4f).
4	1 4th (1) (1.38/1 +8%) Changing The Rules	1.38 1.38/1(+8%)	(1) Changing The Rules 1.38/1, Posted career best, in first-time cheekpieces, when winning 14-runner novice chase at Wexford (19.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago, well on top finish. Looks nicely treated on handicap chase debut and is the one to beat. Jumped better in first-time headgear when off the mark at Wexford; handicap debut.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +14%) Hamundarson	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) Hamundarson 12/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 7 in novice chase (13/2) at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 17 days ago, racing lazily. May do better on handicap chase debut. First two chase efforts were creditable but well held last twice; handicap debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (20/1 -11%) Golden Sandbanks	20 20/1(-11%)	(5) Golden Sandbanks 20/1, Three wins from 10 runs last season. Eighth of 9 in handicap chase at Ballinrobe (17f, good to soft, 9/1) 80 days ago. Others preferred. Nice comeback on the Flat in March but two very poor efforts over jumps since.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (10/1 +50%) A Mere Bagatelle	10 10/1(+50%)	(6) A Mere Bagatelle 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win in chase here in June. Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Cartmel (17.3f, good to soft, 11/4) 19 days ago. Booking of McKenna a plus. Off the mark over fences when making all over C&D last month; well held at Cartmel since.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (12/1 +45%) Where's Bunny	12 12/1(+45%)	(8) Where's Bunny 12/1, Three wins from 13 runs last season. Posted best effort this term when fourth of 17 in handicap chase at Tipperary (23.1f, soft, 22/1) 17 days ago. Claims if building on that. Not beaten far when never-nearer fourth of 17 at Tipperary but that was over 2m7f.

LTO Selection:

A case can be made for all nine runners, with TOP LINE TOMMY the suggestion. He belatedly made the breakthrough over fences at Tramore early last month, coming home 16 lengths clear of subsequent dual Wexford winner Clairmc. Not suited by the drop in trip to two miles on his next start at Clonmel, he since finished fifth over flights at Bellewstown. Back over the larger obstacles now and with this trip likely to suit, he should give a good account of himself. Recent course-and-distance winner Pakens Rock is given second preference. The 10-year-old has seven wins to his name and has been consistent in recent starts. Handicap debutants Changing The Rules and Hamundarson are of definite interest, with the former bidding to follow up on a Wexford win. The Walk In The Park bay will have to defy top-weight under Mark Walsh and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to do so. Paul Flynn has his horses in fine form of late and Golden Sandbanks is another leading hope.

There should be more to come from CHANGING THE RULES, who found improvement when scoring at Wexford last month and is still unexposed over fences. He can follow up. Pakens Rock and Where's Bunny can also make their presence felt.

The veteran WRONG DIRECTION ran a blinder for his new yard at Wexford and is taken to make the most of a handy weight

Impressive here 21 days ago and could easily have what it takes to deal with the 10lb hike.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 +0%) Cuban Breeze	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Cuban Breeze 12/1, Consistent sort who made the frame again when third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 12 days ago, staying on well. Blinkers back on. Should give another good account. Five wins last year came at an inevitable cost and her losing run is beginning to mount up.
3	8 3rd (8) (6.5/1 +28%) Jumbeau	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(8) Jumbeau 6.5/1, Acquitted herself well all 3 starts this term, latest when 3½ lengths second of 8 to Star Guest in handicap over C&D (good) 21 days ago. Likely to go well again. Little margin for error off her current mark after three handicap defeats this season.
4	2 4th (2) (28/1 -75%) Mottisfont	28 28/1(-75%)	(2) Mottisfont 28/1, Group placed at 2. Well held in Fred Darling on return but better than the result both outings this season, caught on the flank in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot latest. Others look better treated, though. Not disgraced at Royal Ascot and possibilities if she takes well to first-time headgear.
5th	9 5th (9) (3/1 +14%) Sophia's Starlight	3 3/1(+14%)	(9) Sophia's Starlight 3/1, Really thriving at present, following up her Newmarket victory with convincing win at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Looks well in under 6 lb penalty and holds leading claims. Has won three of her five handicaps; up in class with a penalty but strong contender.
6th	5 6th (5) (14/1 -40%) Minnetonka	14 14/1(-40%)	(5) Minnetonka 14/1, Made encouraging return in Lingfield listed race in March but below that level both starts since and has a bit to prove now sent handicapping. Now exposed but entitled to make her presence felt on handicap debut.
7th	3 7th (3) (50/1 -213%) Noor Bano	50 50/1(-213%)	(3) Noor Bano 50/1, Off the mark in 14-runner maiden at Meydan (7f, good) in February. However, not seen since and looks on a stiff mark for her first crack at handicapping. Meydan maiden winner; could be on a toughish mark for her handicap debut.
8th	1 8th (1) (33/1 -50%) Dora Penny	33 33/1(-50%)	(1) Dora Penny 33/1, Back to winning ways at Kempton in April but well below that level more recently and makes limited appeal. Prolific winner but now has to bounce back from two below-par runs.
9th	10 9th (10) (7/1 -27%) Peony	7 7/1(-27%)	(10) Peony 7/1, Backed up her Wolverhampton maiden success with victory in 6-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 42 days ago by ½ length from Cuban Breeze. This is tougher but she must enter calculations. Tapeta maiden winner who followed up in a 6f handicap at Haydock; 4lb higher for this.
10th	11 10th (11) (33/1 -50%) Premiere Beauty	33 33/1(-50%)	(11) Premiere Beauty 33/1, Made an encouraging return at Haydock in May but proved disappointing at Chelmsford City since and has something to prove now. Third on handicap debut; unwise to be too critical for a lesser effort on AW debut.
11th	6 11th (6) (14/1 +50%) Sweet Harmony	14 14/1(+50%)	(6) Sweet Harmony 14/1, Opened account in Yarmouth maiden last summer but highly tried and not really threatened since. In calmer waters now but percentage call is to look elsewhere, With cheekpieces tried, she made no impression in a 5f handicap at Royal Ascot.

LTO Selection:

Star Guest made all over C&D last month and merits respect in her bid to complete a double. However, the daughter of Dubawi does have a 10lb rise in the ratings to contend with, and may find this contest tougher to dominate with fellow front-runner Sophia's Starlight in opposition. With that in mind, the race may be set up for PEONY, who is only 4lb higher than last month's Haydock success.

SOPHIA'S STARLIGHT is going from strength to strength and can register her fifth victory of the season. Star Guest and Peony rate the principal dangers.

A few improving fillies locking horns. Star Guest makes obvious appeal but PEONY won well at Haydock and edges preference.

Sure to be thereabouts with a repeat. Ran well in a visor on Monday and looks handicapped to go well; drop to 5f may help too.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 -13%) Betweenthesticks	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(1) Betweenthesticks 4.5/1, Successful 3 times in 2022 and turned in his best effort of the season when going down only narrowly to a well-handicapped veteran at Lingfield (5f, firm) last week. Has to be taken seriously off same mark. Near miss at Lingfield last week; effective on slower ground and he's a key player.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.5/1 +9%) Huddle Up	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(2) Huddle Up 2.5/1, Has proven a model of consistency this season, no extra only late on when third in 8-runner handicap at Chester (5.5f, soft) last week. Seems sure to go well again. Yet to win for this yard but continues to run with credit, including at Chester last week.
4	7 4th (7) (8/1 -14%) One Last Hug	8 8/1(-14%)	(7) One Last Hug 8/1, Has been transformed this year and produced a career best to resume winning ways at Ayr (5f) earlier in the month. Just as good when third under a penalty back there 4 days ago and likely to give another good account. Three Ayr wins this year; finished just behind Honour Your Dreams on Monday; e-w claims.
5th	5 5th (5) (6.5/1 -8%) Iris Dancer	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(5) Iris Dancer 6.5/1, Opened her account for the season under a no-nonsense ride here in June. Below par both starts since, so bounce back needed. Multiple course winner; below par last time though and has a rare 5f run today.
6th	4 6th (4) (6/1 +0%) Show Me Show Me	6 6/1(+0%)	(4) Show Me Show Me 6/1, C&D winner who has yet to fire this season but, on the plus side, his mark continues to ease. Stiff 5f suits well and he lurks on a dangerous mark; too well handicapped to ignore.

LTO Selection:

ONE LAST HUG wasn't beaten far when third at Ayr four days ago and with a return to this sharper trip likely to suit, he's fancied to make it win number four so far this season. Honour Your Dreams was a head in front of the selection in that same race but he may have to settle for minor honours again as his best form has come over further. Huddle Up didn't look the easiest of rides at Chester, when he was a respectable third despite the circumstances, and he looks sure to be thereabouts.

A tightly-knit handicap with HUDDLE UP taken to gain reward for his consistency this season. Betweenthesticks and One Last Hug head the opposition.

Huddle Up looks set to go well once again but HONOUR YOUR DREAM could be worth chancing on this drop to 5f.

LTO Selection:

INTERGALACTICAT appeared to travel with more verve when gaining a breakthrough success in first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster last month and he may have more to offer on this return to handicap company off 2lb higher. Mildyjama came good at the third time of asking in this sphere at Ffos Las earlier in July and is feared most after receiving a 2lb rise in the ratings too. Damascus Steel and Dancing Gypsy are others to note in what appears an open affair.

Preference is for MILDYJAMA, who upped her game when scoring at Ffos Las earlier this month and remains fairly treated. Damascus Steel and Intergalacticat look the likeliest dangers.

A chance is taken on FOREVER PROUD, who threatens to be well suited by tonight's stiffer test. Intergalacticat is second choice.

Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces back on. Twice runner-up in 1m7f handicap chases at Tramore last year; not much since.

LTO Selection:

Returned at 200/1, DAICHEADACUIG ran a huge race to finish third over the course and distance last month, and a reproduction of that effort would see him hard to beat. Not the most consistent, the Arcadio eight-year-old took minor honours behind Uncle Phil and was just two and three-parts of a length behind subsequent Cork victor Winter Fog. I A Connect was sixth and he also gave the form a boost, winning on his next start at Tipperary. Like the selection, Caridadi has a course win to his name and the 12-year-old is given second preference. A fast-finishing third on his most recent outing at Wexford in March, he should be able to make his presence felt in a contest of this quality. Royal Juniper is a point-to-point winner and would be of definite interest if market support arrives. A case can be made for many others in this weak affair, with Fly De Megaudais, Seskin Flyer and Tick Along all sure to have their supporters.

This looks wide open and it could be worth siding with DAICHEADACUIG, who exceeded market expectations when third in a maiden chase here last month and he returns to handicap company on a potentially workable mark. Tick Along got the better of the re-opposing Hockworthy Flyer at Downpatrick in May and is next on the list ahead of Caridadi, who was a good third off this mark when last seen at Wexford during the spring. Lesssaidthebetter is also worth a second look.

Keith Donoghue's presence for the first time on TICK ALONG is a big plus and maybe he can guide her to a first win over fences

20:40 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +20%) Isle Of Lismore	4 4/1(+20%)	(4) Isle Of Lismore 4/1, C&D winner last summer who shaped as if still in good form and produced one of this season's better efforts when second in a 7-runner C&D event (good to soft) last week. Should go well again from unchanged mark. Largely consistent 5yo who has dropped another 1lb since last week's C&D second.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 +29%) Skallywag Bay	5 5/1(+29%)	(7) Skallywag Bay 5/1, Won at Lingfield last month and has ran well in defeat both starts since, doing good work late at that same course after finding herself hampered at the start last time. Has benefit of a good-value claimer aboard and she should go well. Has twice gone close on turf since last month's AW win; good 5lb claimer enlisted today.
3	9 3rd (9) (22/1 +21%) Harry With Style	22 22/1(+21%)	(9) Harry With Style 22/1, Sprang a surprise to score at Bath in April and stepped up markedly from his return after a short break to score at Yarmouth on Wednesday. Interesting if turned out again quickly in this tougher contest. Hiked up the weights for Bath win in April; hung on for dead-heat over 5f on Wednesday.
4	6 4th (6) (18/1 -50%) Eeh Bah Gum	18 18/1(-50%)	(6) Eeh Bah Gum 18/1, Bounced back to form to make his stable debut a winning one in a 6-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm, 13/2) 20 days ago, just holding on. 3 lb higher this time but holds sound claims again. Nine-time 5f winner, most recently on stable debut; contests a stronger race today.
5th	2 5th (2) (8.5/1 +15%) Twilight Madness	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(2) Twilight Madness 8.5/1, Good effort at Epsom on return and shaped better than the bare result over 6f at Newbury on his next start, weakening only late. Again seemed stretched by that trip when down the field at Wolverhampton last month and he's interesting dropped back to 5f. Ran well on seasonal debut but two lesser efforts have followed; others preferred.
6th	1 6th (1) (22/1 -10%) Venturous	22 22/1(-10%)	(1) Venturous 22/1, Veteran clearly retains plenty of ability, not beaten too far when fourth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 8/1) 16 days ago. Booking of Marquand rates as a plus but lack of pace in the contest is a concern for this hold-up type. Still useful as a 10yo and has each-way claims at least if he gets a strong pace to aim at.
7th	3 7th (3) (1.1/1 -10%) Conquistador	1.1 1.1/1(-10%)	(3) Conquistador 1.1/1, Off the mark on first run for new yard in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on Boxing Day before following up on handicap debut at Lingfield 12 weeks later. Fine third at Royal Ascot last time and there's plenty to like about his chances. Very creditable third of 26 at Royal Ascot; good chance off same mark here.
8th	5 8th (5) (11/1 -10%) Tolstoy	11 11/1(-10%)	(5) Tolstoy 11/1, Comes with risks attached but is going through a good spell at present, travelling well but lacking room at a crucial stage when second of 8 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 7/1) 24 days ago. Still relatively unexposed at 5f and isn't discounted. Placed on last two outings (5f/7f) but often loses ground at the start and has his quirks.
9th	8 9th (8) (100/1 +0%) Jack Ryan	100 100/1(+0%)	(8) Jack Ryan 100/1, Won at Yarmouth late last year but is more than a stone out of the weights in this contest and has been off since February, so is easy to overlook. Can't be recommended from 16lb out of the weights on this first start for five months..

LTO Selection:

CONQUISTADOR finished a fine third in the Palace of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot last month and the son of U S Navy Flag could take some stopping off the same mark in this contest. Eeh Bah Gum made the perfect start for Ivan Furtado at Lingfield earlier in the month and a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent the eight-year-old from being involved once again. Skallywag Bay also arrives in good heart and is likely to be involved in some capacity too.

SKALLYWAG BAY has performed creditably both starts since winning at Lingfield and would've gone closer still last time granted more luck, so with Alec Voikhansky taking a valuable 5 lb off, she's fancied to get the better of last week's C&D second Isle of Lismore. Royal Ascot third Conquistador and Ivan Furtado's new recruit Eeh Bah Gum are also considered in a competitive heat.

This is a marked drop in grade for CONQUISTADOR (nap), who was an excellent third at Royal Ascot, and he can continue his progress.

20:50 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 13f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (3/1 +10%) Tafsir	3 3/1(+10%)	(3) Tafsir 3/1, Went close on several occasions prior to opening her account in cosy fashion at Musselburgh (12.5f) 16 days ago. 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent her going well again in an ordinary affair. Off the mark at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) this month; up 4lb but more appealing than most.
2	9 2nd (9) (3/1 -20%) Blue Antares	3 3/1(-20%)	(9) Blue Antares 3/1, Frankel colt who had eased further in weights and ran best race sporting a first-time visor when second at Ripon (12f) 11 days ago, staying on from 2f out. Definitely one of the more interesting ones if building on that now. Improved for a visor when 2nd at Ripon 11 days ago; extra furlong should be beneficial.
3	5 3rd (5) (14/1 +58%) Zephlyn	14 14/1(+58%)	(5) Zephlyn 14/1, Maiden following 11 attempts but made more impact than previously up in trip when second at Newcastle (16.2f) in March. However, not built on that since, always behind at Southwell (14f) last month. Good 2nd on AW in March (2m) but he hasn't beaten many rivals home in four runs since.
4	8 4th (8) (3.33/1 +5%) A Day To Dream	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(8) A Day To Dream 3.33/1, Winner on return at Thirsk (12f, soft) in April and largely creditable efforts in defeat subsequently, taking third late on back at that venue (14f) 16 days ago. This stiffer track should help the way he shapes. One to consider. Consistent enough since his breakthrough win in April; return to slower ground may help.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/1 +25%) Lechro	9 9/1(+25%)	(2) Lechro 9/1, Made a bright enough start on Flat/over hurdles for this yard last autumn but gone the wrong way since, again well held when fourth in 6-runner Nottingham handicap (14f) back in May. 52-day break needs to have perked her up ahead of this. Best run came at this track last September; now 10lb lower; worth a market check.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/1 +10%) Paddy's Fancy	9 9/1(+10%)	(4) Paddy's Fancy 9/1, Juvenile hurdle winner who made the frame in a couple of handicaps in that sphere for former yard in February. Not threatened in pair of Flat starts for present stable but her mark is easing all the time. Unplaced in all 7 Flat starts but she's a winning hurdler who is dropping down the weights.
7th	7 7th (7) (20/1 +39%) Two Rivers	20 20/1(+39%)	(7) Two Rivers 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden who hinted at temperament at Ayr on his penultimate start and again looked a hard ride when eleventh of 14 in handicap back at that venue 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Not matched 2yo form so far this year; up in trip and down in weights; others safer.
8th	1 8th (1) (16/1 -100%) Crystal Guard	16 16/1(-100%)	(1) Crystal Guard 16/1, Successful twice at around 12f over the winter and not beaten far when fifth in 8-runner Wolverhampton handicap (14f) in March. Returns with yard amongst the winners and each-way possibilities. Two AW wins over 1m4f this winter; absent since March but returns in a weak race.
9th	6 9th (6) (80/1 -21%) Pammi	80 80/1(-21%)	(6) Pammi 80/1, Course winner who added another pair of handicap hurdle victories to her tally at Perth last year but returned with trio of low-key efforts on the Flat this spring and no upturn back over hurdles more recently. Blinkers go back on returned to the level now. Out of sorts Flat and hurdles this summer; plenty to prove.
10th	11 10th (11) (40/1 +0%) The Darien Scheme	40 40/1(+0%)	(11) The Darien Scheme 40/1, War Command gelding. Brother to connections' 11f-13f winner Clan Jock. Offered little in handful of maidens at up to 9f to date but should at least hold more chance now handicapping from a basement mark. Worth a precautionary market check. Poor form in four maiden runs at up to 1m1f; this more suitable but not easily recommended.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (20/1 +0%) Gottaifan	20 20/1(+0%)	(10) Gottaifan 20/1, Maiden who didn't pull up any trees for Tom Dascombe and finished only midfield both starts to date for new yard, merely plugging on when sixth in 11-runner Thirsk handicap (14f) earlier this month. No improvement for the step up to middle distances on his last two runs; opposable.

LTO Selection:

Jim Goldie landed this race last year and although he's made it harder for punters by running three this time around, it looks like TAFSIR is his main challenger. It looked like she wasn't going to get a clear run at Musselburgh earlier this month but once Paul Mulrennan edged her out to see daylight, she quickened up smartly to score and may still be well treated despite a 4lb rise. The likely dangers appear to be recent Ripon runner-up Blue Antares, who should relish this extra yardage, and Crystal Guard, who hasn't been seen since early March but has gone well when fresh before.

BLUE ANTARES clearly isn't going to live up to his pedigree (half-brother to King's Stand/Diamond Jubilee winner Blue Point) but he comes here having run his best race yet sporting a first-time visor when second at Ripon (12f) 11 days ago and he could be worth siding with to build on that now. Tafsir, a comfortable winner at Musselburgh, is a big threat, along with A Day To Dream.

The fitting of a visor saw BLUE ANTARES take a step forward at Ripon 11 days ago and he can get off the mark at the eighth attempt.

21:00 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (6/1 +25%) Sir Maxi	6 6/1(+25%)	(10) Sir Maxi 6/1, Ended a long losing run at Beverley this time last year and, having eased in the weights, he turned in his best effort of the present campaign when second at Haydock (7f) 2 weeks ago, sticking to task. Has a rare try back sprinting here. Long time since he ran in a sprint; back in form last time off tonight's career-low mark.
2	11 2nd (11) (7/1 -27%) El Montejean	7 7/1(-27%)	(11) El Montejean 7/1, Maiden following 8 attempts who returned to form from out of the blue when fourth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (7f) 16 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Handy draw to work from and one to be interested in. Looked to start handicap life on an unrealistic mark and struggled; first try at sprinting.
3	8 3rd (8) (3.33/1 +72%) Run This Way	3.33 3.33/1(+72%)	(8) Run This Way 3.33/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 8 days ago, holding every chance. Regressed in recent times; better in cheekpieces latest (removed) but others are stronger.
4	12 4th (12) (14/1 -17%) Rwenearlytheredad	14 14/1(-17%)	(12) Rwenearlytheredad 14/1, Found some improvement in handicaps, shedding maiden tag at Beverley (5f) in June prior to following up gamely at Doncaster (6f) 3 days later. Found run of good form coming to a halt at first-named venue latest and this looks tougher. Turned over as favourite off his revised mark last time (rain-softened ground); needs more.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 +40%) Corinthia Knight	6 6/1(+40%)	(5) Corinthia Knight 6/1, 5-time C&D winner who made a fine return from 4-months off when fourth in a C&D handicap in June. Raced on unfavoured inside and unable to get competitive back here latest and no surprise to see a better showing for in-form yard. Five-time C&D winner whose record in July in recent seasons reads: 11811210; player.
6th	2 6th (2) (5.5/1 -38%) Lord Abama	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(2) Lord Abama 5.5/1, Maiden who went close to bucking that trend when second in trio of 6f handicaps. May not have been ideally positioned on the far rail at Beverley latest and better showing anticipated from a handy draw. Visor again the headgear of choice. Ex-Irish maiden who's been beaten at 7-2 or shorter on nine occasions; risky at best.
7th	14 7th (14) (16/1 -60%) Round The Island	16 16/1(-60%)	(14) Round The Island 16/1, Veteran 7-time C&D winner who dispelled a lesser effort when beaten just under a length into third at Catterick (7f) 9 days ago. Capable of playing a part if arriving in same form. Cheekpieces back on. Seven-time C&D winner who's fine on any ground and arrives in form; should go well.
8th	3 8th (3) (16/1 -33%) Rhythm	16 16/1(-33%)	(3) Rhythm 16/1, Dual winner towards backend of last year (latterly over C&D) and picked up where she left off to complete the hat-trick at Newcastle (6f) in April. Recent efforts have been below par though, including back at this venue 39 days ago. Had wind op since. Usually races with the pace, so stall 12 may not be ideal, and she's weighted to her best.
9th	1 9th (1) (20/1 -25%) Emily Post	20 20/1(-25%)	(1) Emily Post 20/1, Dual winner at around 7f for Ed Bethell last year and bright start for new yard when second on return at Wetherby (7f) in May. Went backwards from that (reportedly lost a shoe) when last of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f) last month but more needed here in any case. Wins came off lower marks and she's drawn wide on this first ever try at sprinting.
10th	6 10th (6) (10/1 +0%) Patontheback	10 10/1(+0%)	(6) Patontheback 10/1, Losing run mounting up and handicapper slow to relent but dropped a big hint he's ready to strike when fourth in a C&D handicap 18 days ago, best of those held up. One to keep an eye on. Did well to get as close as he did over C&D last time but the losing run continues to grow.
11th	4 11th (4) (20/1 +0%) Blackjack	20 20/1(+0%)	(4) Blackjack 20/1, Dual winner at Southwell (6f) earlier this year and remained in form since, not seen to best effect when eighth in 14-runner Thirsk handicap (7f) 16 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Not out of things. Didn't see out 7f last time, having made most from a wide stall; should give his running.
12th	7 12th (7) (16/1 +52%) Fiddlers Green	16 16/1(+52%)	(7) Fiddlers Green 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 6 in maiden at Listowel (7.1f, good, 9/1) in September, keeping on. Changed hands for 18,000 gns thereafter and market may prove the best guide on belated return. First crack at sprinting back from ten months off and would want to see some support.
13th	13 13th (13) (66/1 -100%) Shine's Ambition	66 66/1(-100%)	(13) Shine's Ambition 66/1, Bettered this season's efforts when respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (6f) 2 starts back but proved disappointing when 10½ lengths last of 13 to Rwenearlytheredad in handicap (16/1) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now. Ran badly last time and followers and largely pinning their hopes on first-time headgear.

LTO Selection:

Sir Maxi, a winner over C&D as a juvenile, is likely to prove popular after his latest second over 7f at Haydock. However, 6f these days may prove on the sharp side, with a wide draw unlikely to help too. With that in mind, a chance is taken on LORD ABAMA, who should appreciate a return to this distance having found a drop to 5f against him at Beverley recently. The in-form Patontheback is another viable alternative.

Claims can be made for most, including 3-y-o EL MONTEJEAN who returned to form from out of the blue and fared best of those ridden prominently when fourth at Thirsk 16 days ago and he could just be worth siding with to back that up from a handy draw with his yard amongst the winners. Lord Abama, veteran Round The Island and Corinthia Knight head up the dangers.

Patontheback and Sir Maxi (second choice) are players, but veteran ROUND THE ISLAND is fancied to notch an eighth C&D win.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

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

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

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

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