14:10 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (1.75/1 +42%) Libra Tiger	1.75 1.75/1(+42%)	(4) Libra Tiger 1.75/1, Arrives in good nick, second of 11 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Can go well again nudged up 1 lb. Won over 6f on AW in January; vulnerable since but worth a go over a stiff 5f.
2	3 2nd (3) (20/1 +20%) Cabeza De Llave	20 20/1(+20%)	(3) Cabeza De Llave 20/1, Won 3 times at 5f in 2022 but off 5 months before coming in last of 11 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good) 85 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Handles a stiff track; looks to have more to come at 5f; could go well after break.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 +25%) Sera Dawn	3 3/1(+25%)	(2) Sera Dawn 3/1, On the up this term and followed up Nottingham novice success with 5f handicap win at Catterick in April. Posted another solid effort when fourth of 8 at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Shortlisted. Two 5f wins in April (soft/good to soft); held since; stiff 5f could suit; rain a help.
4	1 4th (1) (5.5/1 -83%) Just Glamorous	5.5 5.5/1(-83%)	(1) Just Glamorous 5.5/1, Back from 10 months off with win in 6-runner handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) 29 days ago. This C&D scorer merits serious consideration despite a 3 lb rise. C&D winner; successful return; still fair mark off 4lb lower than close C&D 2nd last June.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 +0%) Mary Of Modena	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Mary Of Modena 14/1, Resumed winning ways at Windsor in May but below-form third of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 51 days ago. Sort to bounce back after a break. Often leads; C&D form as 2yo but best handicap form on sharp tracks; won on good and soft.
6th	5 6th (5) (5/1 +9%) Symbol Of Hope	5 5/1(+9%)	(5) Symbol Of Hope 5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Respectable third of 11 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Can give another good account. All wins on stiff tracks, the latest two at Bath in May (good and good to soft); involved.
7th	7 7th (7) (8/1 +6%) Dalby Forest	8 8/1(+6%)	(7) Dalby Forest 8/1, Got off the mark at Chelmsford City in February. Off 4 months and shaped as if the run was needed when fading fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, firm) 15 days ago. Can build on it now. Mostly races on AW, 5f winner in February; stamina to prove with this stiff test.

LTO Selection:

Just Glamorous returned from a long break to make all at Salisbury and the veteran is only asked to compete off a 3lb higher mark for that display, but he could give way to the younger legs of LIBRA TIGER. The son of Territories has shaped like his time is near when filling the runner-up spot on each of his last three starts, with the latest of those coming at Newbury when he had Symbol of Hope (third) just over a length behind him, so he may be ready to strike off just 1lb higher.

None of these can be ruled out but C&D scorer JUST GLAMOROUS returned from an absence in style at Salisbury and can defy a 3 lb rise in the weights. Libra Tiger is knocking on the door and seems sure to be in the mix once more, with Sera Dawn another who can have a say in her bid for a third success of 2023.

An open race but hardy veteran JUST GLAMOROUS may well follow up his Salisbury win on a track where he's won and gone well in the past.

14:20 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2/1 -150%) Judge Earle	2 2/1(-150%)	(1) Judge Earle 2/1, Prolific over fences last summer, winning 5 times. Heavy defeats previous 5 starts prior to taking advantage of reduced mark in emphatic fashion at Uttoxeter 8 days ago. Hard to beat under a penalty if in similar form. Back to form when thrashing rivals last week; obvious claims under penalty.
2	2 2nd (2) (14/1 -115%) Sermando	14 14/1(-115%)	(2) Sermando 14/1, Positive start for this yard when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good to firm) and backed that up when third here last month. However, bit to prove back over fences (novicey mistakes when well held on sole chase start over a year ago). Hurdle win on stable debut and fair run next time; pulled up only previous chase.
3	5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 +50%) No Worries	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(5) No Worries 4.5/1, Won 3 times over hurdles in 2021/22 season and struck on Ludlow chase debut in November. Failed to complete next 2 runs but hinted at a revival when fourth over C&D 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on. Won on chasing debut but not so good since; fourth over C&D latest; cheekpieces on.
4	4 4th (4) (11/1 +21%) Barely Famous	11 11/1(+21%)	(4) Barely Famous 11/1, Dual hurdles winner in the autumn but has looked a little short of fitness in 3 starts for this yard, again found wanting in the latter stages when fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good to soft) on debut over fences 29 days ago. Well beaten on C&D chasing debut last month and plenty to prove for now.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (1.62/1 +60%) Jet Smart	1.62 1.62/1(+60%)	(3) Jet Smart 1.62/1, Runner-up only outing in Irish points and got back on track switched to fences when second of 6 in handicap chase at this course (23f, good to soft) 29 days ago, clear of rest. Remains low mileage. Second on chasing debut here last month; could improve on that.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (11/1 +0%) Talkingthetalk	11 11/1(+0%)	(6) Talkingthetalk 11/1, Third in a Wexford maiden hurdle for Leonard Whitmore last summer but showed little for this yard the remainder of the season. However, off the mark on second start over fences at Uttoxeter (20f) last month before shaping like a non-stayer here (23f) since. 1 lb out of handicap. Won two starts ago but long way behind Jet Smart latest.

LTO Selection:

With his stable and jockey riding the crest of a wave, it's hard to escape the claims held by the veteran JUDGE EARLE, who bounded to a wide-margin success at Uttoxeter eight days ago. Under a 7lb penalty, he has a live chance of following up. He is already a dual course winner and can give the Bowens another day to remember. Jet Smart and Talkingthetalk both have scope to improve over fences and head the list of dangers.

JUDGE EARLE took advantage of his reduced mark in emphatic fashion at Uttoxeter last week so has obvious claims under a penalty. No Worries hinted at a revival when fourth over C&D 3 weeks ago so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Jet Smart.

A repeat of last week's Uttoxeter win would make JUDGE EARLE hard to beat.

14:30 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (3.5/1 -17%) Be Proud	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(4) Be Proud 3.5/1, Took advantage of much-reduced mark when winning 15-runner handicap at this course (5.6f, good to firm, 11/1) 2 weeks ago, leading final strides. Remains well treated on old form and can follow up. 3lb higher than for latest success, but is 0-43 over 6f-plus and has never backed up a win.
2	7 2nd (7) (5.5/1 -10%) Impeller	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(7) Impeller 5.5/1, C&D winner who backed up his previous effort when winning 10-runner handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 10/1) 2 weeks ago. Going through a good spell at present, but any rain might not be in his favour. 4lb higher than for latest win but 1lb higher than for C&D win last summer; major player.
3	2 3rd (2) (7.5/1 +6%) Emperor Caradoc	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(2) Emperor Caradoc 7.5/1, Below form this season, eighth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good, 17/2) 75 days ago. However, back down to last winning mark, so he's an interesting contender on first run for yard after leaving Bryan Smart. Goes well on a soft surface; drops in trip on stable debut and market may be informative.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 +0%) After John	10 10/1(+0%)	(5) After John 10/1, Step back in right direction when fourth of 7 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm, 11/1) 48 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort. Handles most ground and latest Haydock fourth was a fair effort; each-way claims.
5th	1 5th (1) (5/1 +0%) Beauty Choice	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Beauty Choice 5/1, Has returned to form in a visor on his last 2 starts, third of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 13/2) 19 days ago. Can make his present felt. Has improved for the visor; sole turf success came on soft; respected..
6th	9 6th (9) (18/1 +28%) Rich Waters	18 18/1(+28%)	(9) Rich Waters 18/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Yet to fire this season for his current yard, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm, 40/1) 40 days ago. Back down in grade but other still make more appeal. 1-15; hint of promise on his second start for this yard, but heavy defeats either side.
7th	12 7th (12) (16/1 +0%) Peachey Carnehan	16 16/1(+0%)	(12) Peachey Carnehan 16/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Off just 3 days, not discredited when fifth of 11 in handicap at Chester (7f, soft, 9/1) 13 days ago. Without a win this year but can give his running. Has won 15 of his 135 starts, but this sort of level may be a bit warm for him these days.
8th	11 8th (11) (5/1 +50%) Madame Fenella	5 5/1(+50%)	(11) Madame Fenella 5/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in June. 15/2, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Can give another good account. 0-8 on turf; can miss the break and get herself behind, so needs a good pace to aim at.
9th	3 9th (3) (10/1 +29%) Touchwood	10 10/1(+29%)	(3) Touchwood 10/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. In-and-out form of late, fifth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft, 12/1) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he's capable if on a going day. Has dropped to a favourable mark, but he could probably so with the ground drying out.
10th	8 10th (8) (12/1 -20%) Lezardrieux	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) Lezardrieux 12/1, Successful at Catterick in May but below form both starts since, eighth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 17/2) 35 days ago. Others more persuasive. Ten-time winner who acts on any ground; capable of making an impact if back to his best.
11th	10 11th (10) (40/1 -60%) Redrosezorro	40 40/1(-60%)	(10) Redrosezorro 40/1, Won at Catterick in May but not in the same form when 11½ lengths last of 10 to Impeller in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 33/1) 2 weeks ago. Looks to be up against it. Nine of ten wins have come at Catterick; well behind Impeller last time; opposable.
12th	6 12th (6) (50/1 +24%) Gunmetal	50 50/1(+24%)	(6) Gunmetal 50/1, C&D winner. Looked rusty after 7 months off when last of 9 in handicap (150/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in April last year. Best watched after further 15-month absence. First run for yard after leaving Frank Bishop. C&D winner who makes his stable debut after another 474 days off; market useful.

LTO Selection:

BEAUTY CHOICE has improved with each start since joining new connections and recent efforts suggest that he is capable of regaining the winning thread today. The six-year-old has dropped back to his last winning mark and could have too much for recent course winner Be Proud and Impeller, who scored comfortably at Carlisle recently. Others to note include Emperor Caradoc, Madame Fenella and Peachey Carnehan.

Having dropped a long way in the weights, BE PROUD got back to winning ways at this course a fortnight ago and he can follow up with the return to this slightly longer trip a plus. The main danger could be Beauty Choice, who has returned to form with a visor applied on his last 2 starts, while Madame Fenella also enters calculations.

Preference is for IMPELLER (nap), 4lb higher than for his latest success but just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D last summer.

14:40 Sandown Maiden (Class 4) 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.57/1 +37%) Arabian Crown	0.57 0.57/1(+37%)	(1) Arabian Crown 0.57/1, €600,000 yearling, Dubawi colt. Brother to useful winner up to 1m Everest Rose and half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1½m The Juliet Rose. Failed to justify short-price favouritism but it was still an encouraging debut when third over C&D 3 weeks ago. Lots more to come. 600,000euros yearling; 5-4 favourite for C&D novice (good) and grabbed 3rd of ten late on.
2	9 2nd (9) (18/1 +0%) Navy Jack	18 18/1(+0%)	(9) Navy Jack 18/1, Green early but looked to be getting the hang of things when fifth of 8 in novice event at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 14/1) on debut 21 days ago. Sure to progress. 14-1, about 4l fifth of eight in novice at Newbury (6f, good) three weeks ago.
3	7 3rd (7) (8/1 +71%) Kings Valley	8 8/1(+71%)	(7) Kings Valley 8/1, Foaled March 29. 65,000 gns yearling, Territories colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 1¼m-13f winner Crystal Pegasus and useful 1¼m winner Crystal Estrella. 65,000gns yearling; sixth foal; half-brother to four winners with peak RPRs 92-101.
4	5 4th (5) (20/1 -186%) Highland Spring	20 20/1(-186%)	(5) Highland Spring 20/1, Foaled March 21. Dubawi colt. Dam winner up to 10.5f (2-y-o 1m/9f winner). Of obvious interest on debut. 2nd foal; dam 1m-10.5f winner (including 2yo/Gr 3; RPR 109); Dubawi colt from a top yard.
5th	3 5th (3) (33/1 -175%) City Burglar	33 33/1(-175%)	(3) City Burglar 33/1, Foaled March 29. Cracksman colt. Closely related to useful winner up to 7f Frankness. Likely-looking newcomer. 2nd foal; closely related to 6f/7f winner Frankness (inc 2yo; RPR 99); dam 7f winner (84).
6th	2 6th (2) (33/1 -175%) Atlantic Convoy	33 33/1(-175%)	(2) Atlantic Convoy 33/1, Foaled May 1. €310,000 yearling, Galileo colt. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. One of 2 interesting-looking newcomers for Ralph Beckett. 310,000euros yearling; second foal; dam Group-placed 6f 2yo winner (RPR 96).
7th	11 7th (11) (10/1 -25%) Reliant	10 10/1(-25%)	(11) Reliant 10/1, Foaled March 31. Frankel colt. Half-brother to 3 at least smart winners, including top-class winner up to 1½m Mishriff and winner up to 1m Momkin. Dam 1¼m winner. Frankel half-brother to Mishriff (RPR 128), Momkin (111) and Orbaan (110); one to note.
8th	6 8th (6) (6/1 -20%) Juantorena	6 6/1(-20%)	(6) Juantorena 6/1, Promising individual. Stepped up on debut run when third of 8 in novice event at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Likely to improve again. Stuck to his task well last time (7f, good) and still open to improvement; leading player.
9th	4 9th (4) (100/1 -100%) Dr Foster	100 100/1(-100%)	(4) Dr Foster 100/1, Foaled April 10. 14,000 gns yearling, 18,000 gns 2-y-o, Advertise colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 6f winner Projection and useful 1m/8.3f winner Up In Lights. Dam winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f/1m winner) 18,000gns 2yo; the yard's two 2yo runners this term have made a splash.
10th	10 10th (10) (40/1 -21%) Never Sell	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Never Sell 40/1, Breeze-Up acquisition who showed ability when fourth at Goodwood a month ago despite being very slowly away. More professional at Ascot last time upped to 7f but he didn't really advance his form. Some improvement at Ascot (7f, good to soft) but this race should demand plenty more.

LTO Selection:

Arabian Crown was a massive eye-catcher over C&D on his debut when narrowly failing to justify favouritism and, with normal progression, he is likely to be bang there. However, a chance can be taken on newcomer CITY BURGLAR, who is bred to get better over time but she could have enough class to score over this distance first time out. She has a fantastic pedigree as a daughter of Cracksman and a full-sister to Arabian Queen. Reliant warrants a market check as a half-brother to Mishriff.

ARABIAN CROWN's superb pedigree is an ongoing recommendation and, sure to have derived plenty from his opening third over C&D 3 weeks ago, he could be the way to go. Juantorena is an obvious danger of form while there's a plethora of interesting newcomers to consider, notably Reliant and Highland Spring.

The late gains made by ARABIAN CROWN over C&D earn the vote. Juantorena has a similar RPR. Reliant is half-brother to Mishriff.

14:50 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (6/1 +33%) Tiger Orchid	6 6/1(+33%)	(3) Tiger Orchid 6/1, Won twice over hurdles last season and produced a career best when making a winning start over fences over C&D last month. Held back by errors back here 17 days ago and he needs to cut that habit out. C&D winner on chase debut and mistake cost him next time; ground a concern.
2	9 2nd (9) (5/1 +58%) Fairlawn Flyer	5 5/1(+58%)	(9) Fairlawn Flyer 5/1, Made it 4-4 over fences at Ffos Las when landing a 23.8f handicap (heavy) in first-time cheekpieces in December. Form has gone the wrong way since then, merely plugging on for third of 5 at Market Rasen 18 days ago. Not at best in recent starts; something to prove but now on a very good mark.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.33/1 -33%) Bagheera Ginge	3.33 3.33/1(-33%)	(2) Bagheera Ginge 3.33/1, Steadily progressive over hurdles last term, scoring at Stratford and Newton Abbot. Shaped as if amiss sent chasing at Kempton and fell next start but much more like it when second to a well-treated rival over 20f here last month. Up in trip. Second over 2m4f here last month and that form has worked out very well.
4	4 4th (4) (18/1 -80%) Pottlerath	18 18/1(-80%)	(4) Pottlerath 18/1, Successful 3 times over hurdles during 2022 and sprouted wings over fences in recent months, completing the hat-trick at Bangor (3m, good). Rare laboured display over C&D 17 days ago but he's fancied to bounce back. Winning run ended with heavy defeat over C&D this month; could bounce back.
5th	8 5th (8) (4.5/1 +18%) Biowavego	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(8) Biowavego 4.5/1, Bounced back following a couple of tame efforts when landing a Warwick handicap (25f, good to firm) over hurdles in May. Fair start to chase career when third at Uttoxeter a month ago and no surprise were he to build on that. Behind Gats And Co on chasing debut but could do a lot better.
6th	6 6th (6) (7/1 -56%) Captain Tommy	7 7/1(-56%)	(6) Captain Tommy 7/1, Capitalised on a freefalling mark in no uncertain terms when running away with a 3m handicap chase at Bangor (good) in May. Similar form when second at Stratford a fortnight later and fared about as well as could be expected from out of the weights latest. Back to form three starts ago and two fair efforts since; realistic claims in this.
7th	5 7th (5) (4/1 +11%) Gats And Co	4 4/1(+11%)	(5) Gats And Co 4/1, Really got his act together in 2022, winning 4 staying handicap chases on the bounce. Patchy form since, but he's below his last successful mark and a couple of runner-up efforts confirm he's back on good nick. Hasn't really recovered last year's form; probably needs better than recent second.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (33/1 -10%) Fraternel	33 33/1(-10%)	(7) Fraternel 33/1, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles but extremely lightly raced over fences in recent times and he has an awful lot to prove. Well beaten in both starts this year after a long absence.

LTO Selection:

Pottlerath is a dual track winner and is high on the shortlist, while Tiger Orchid won over C&D last month and is considered, despite being held off this mark back here 17 days ago. However, preference is for BIOWAVEGO, who is unexposed as a chaser and is well treated in comparison to his rating over timber. The son of Presenting is likely to be a lot wiser after last month's debut over fences and improvement can be expected.

BAGHEERA GINGE split next-time-out winners when runner-up over this C&D a month ago, and with this trip not expected to be a problem, he looks the most persuasive option. Captain Tommy and Gats And Co head the opposition.

The form of last month's course second makes BAGHEERA GINGE (nap) of great interest.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (7.5/1 -50%) Hello Queen	7.5 7.5/1(-50%)	(2) Hello Queen 7.5/1, 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 12/1, eighth of 9 at Newcastle (6f) on Good Friday. Off 111 days. Makes handicap debut. Could have more to offer switched to turf. Dual AW winner who makes her handicap/turf debut after 111 days off; market may be helpful.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.75/1 +22%) Harry's Halo	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(3) Harry's Halo 1.75/1, C&D winner. 11/2, very good second of 10 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, heavy) 12 days ago. Good shout. Second start back when a close second at Chester last time and possibly unlucky not to win.
3	5 3rd (5) (8/1 +20%) William Dewhirst	8 8/1(+20%)	(5) William Dewhirst 8/1, Winner at Thirsk in May. Sixth of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Thirsk (6f, soft) 37 days ago. Well held in both handicaps and particularly poor last time; has something to prove now.
4	7 4th (7) (12/1 +0%) Georgiava	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Georgiava 12/1, Dual winner at 2 yrs. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 14/1) on return 14 days ago, slowly away. Well held in all three handicaps including on her Carlisle return; enough to prove.
5th	4 5th (4) (3.33/1 +33%) Braveheart Boy	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(4) Braveheart Boy 3.33/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, heavy, 14/1) 12 days ago, never nearer. A head behind Harry's Halo when third at Chester last time; a player with a cleaner break.
6th	1 6th (1) (6/1 -33%) Mile End	6 6/1(-33%)	(1) Mile End 6/1, Good fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 20/1) 18 days ago, hampered. Heading back in the right direction and one to consider. Had little go right in last two starts; interesting back on turf especially on soft ground.
7th	6 7th (6) (9/1 -80%) Raven's Applause	9 9/1(-80%)	(6) Raven's Applause 9/1, Reacted well to cheekpieces when winning at Windsor (6f) in June. Visored for 1st time, good second of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft, 9/1) 17 days ago. Respected. Holds form claims, but a suspicion that he may prefer the extra furlong now.

LTO Selection:

A progressive sort towards the end of last season, HARRY'S HALO looked to be finding his way back to that form when runner-up at Chester last time out and he is taken to go one better now. Braveheart Boy (third), who finished a head behind him on that occasion, can give him the most to think about, along with the relatively consistent Raven's Applause.

MILE END seems to be building up to something and could be set to strike. C&D winner Harry's Halo and Hello Queen are respected also.

Granted a smoother passage than in her last two starts on the AW, MILE END is given another chance to show what she is capable of.

Dam winner up to 1¼m. Looked a good prospect when making a winning start in 5-runner novice at Newbury, well on top finish. Sure to progress and win more races. 11-2, overcame slow start and debut inexperience to win Newbury novice (7f, good to firm).
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +20%) Fallen Angel	4 4/1(+20%)	(4) Fallen Angel 4/1, Too Darn Hot filly. Half-sister to useful 1½m winner Divine Jewel. Dam useful 2-y-o 7f/1m (May Hill Stakes) winner. Looked every inch the useful prospect that she's bred to be when winning 7-runner novice at Haydock on debut 62 days ago, impressing with a sharp turn of foot. Needs considering. Favourite, won novice at Haydock (7f, good to firm) two months ago, stretching out nicely.
3	9 3rd (9) (1.38/1 -53%) Soprano	1.38 1.38/1(-53%)	(9) Soprano 1.38/1, Justified market confidence when making a winning debut at Newmarket and showed useful form when 2 lengths third of 17 to Porta Fortuna in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) 34 days ago. The one to beat. Looks ready for 7f and very much the one to beat after Newmarket win and Royal Ascot third.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 +25%) Gray's Inn	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) Gray's Inn 12/1, Getting better with each run, adding to her tally when landing the odds on nursery bow at Chester 2 weeks ago. Much more needed here, however. Seller and nursery winner; moving the right way but this poses much more of a challenge.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 -40%) Expensive Queen	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) Expensive Queen 14/1, €260,000 yearling, Lope De Vega filly. Sister to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Antonia de Vega and useful 2-y-o 1m winner Luckin Brew. Had a bit in hand when making a winning debut at Haydock 3 weeks ago. Bare form looks ordinary but this well-bred filly is sure to improve. Gradually got on top from over 1f out in novice at Haydock (7f, good) three weeks ago.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 +12%) Eminny	22 22/1(+12%)	(2) Eminny 22/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning novice at Beverley (7.4f, good) and didn't have to improve much when following up on nursery bow at Leicester last week. This represents a big step up in class, however. Won 7.4f novice at Beverley and 7f nursery at Leicester but this race demands a lot more.
7th	7 7th (7) (80/1 -14%) Romanova	80 80/1(-14%)	(7) Romanova 80/1, Foaled February 7. 45,000 gns yearling, Golden Horn filly. Half-sister to winner up to 6f Shanghai Rock. Dam, 5f/6f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart winner up to 10.4f Lateen Sails. Stiff task on debut. Golden Horn filly who is hooded on debut, from a yard also responsible for Shuwari.
8th	6 8th (6) (66/1 -65%) Lava Stream	66 66/1(-65%)	(6) Lava Stream 66/1, Too Darn Hot filly. Dam, winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 1m winner), half-sister to very smart 1¼m winner Journey out of smart winner up to 15.5f (2-y-o 1¼m winner) Montare. 12/1, 3¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Expensive Queen in novice at Haydock (7f, firm) on debut 20 days ago, slowly away. Plenty to find. 4th in Haydock novice (7f, good) was promising but fellow newcomer Expensive Queen won it.
9th	10 9th (10) (80/1 -264%) The African Queen	80 80/1(-264%)	(10) The African Queen 80/1, The Last Lion filly. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner. Overcame inexperience to justify strong support in 4-runner maiden (11/8) at Brighton (7f, good) on debut 16 days ago, comfortably. That looked a weak event, however, and plenty more on her plate here. 11-8 favourite for 4-runner maiden at Brighton (7f, good to firm) and comfortably made all.

LTO Selection:

SOPRANO sets a pretty lofty standard in this contest after her third in the Albany at Royal Ascot and that race is working out extremely well, with the second and fourth subsequently winning Group 2 contests. The daughter of Starspangledbanner could also improve for the step up in distance and she is very hard to oppose. Fallen Angel scored on debut at Haydock and is likely to progress to fight it out for the places, along with Expensive Queen.

SOPRANO backed up her impressive winning debut at Newmarket with a useful third in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot and sets a high standard down in class. Shuwari and Fallen Angel both looked good prospects when scoring first-time out at Newbury and Haydock respectively so are feared most.

The standard set by SOPRANO is high thanks to her Group 3 third at Royal Ascot and that performance also suggests she will stay 7f.

1	3 1st (3) (6.5/1 -95%) Fanfaron Dino	6.5 6.5/1(-95%)	(3) Fanfaron Dino 6.5/1, Weak in the betting but produced his best effort to date when successful at Fontwell (17.7f, good to firm) in May. However, not the most consistent and he ran well below that level back at that venue in June, finding little. Return to softer ground should hold no fears on back of 6 weeks off. Tailed off latest; previous form, including on soft, gives him a solid chance.
2	7 2nd (7) (1.38/1 +69%) Alioski	1.38 1.38/1(+69%)	(7) Alioski 1.38/1, C&D maiden winner 13 months ago who matched that level when third of 8 in novices' handicap hurdle at Sandown (2m, soft) in December. Fit from couple of spins on Flat in recent months and good showing not ruled out back over timber. Fair AW efforts since a break and ran well on soft ground when last seen over hurdles.
3	5 3rd (5) (7.5/1 -67%) Fandabidozi	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(5) Fandabidozi 7.5/1, Modest stayer on the Flat who matched previous best over hurdles when third in a Stratford maiden (16.3f) 23 days ago, upsides briefly 2 out and no extra run-in. Claims of making the frame again partnered by Harry Cobden. Consistent but not really improving and 1-31 in career; stable in fine form.
4	2 4th (2) (12/1 -243%) Mix Of Clover	12 12/1(-243%)	(2) Mix Of Clover 12/1, Dual hurdles/chase winner who disappointed in 3 starts last year but arrives here having shaped encouragingly on back of 8 months off when fourth of in C&D handicap hurdle 5 weeks ago. Could well be worth chancing to build on that now. Ran well over C&D last month; claims on that but ground a concern.
5th	4 5th (4) (3.33/1 +17%) State Of Bliss	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(4) State Of Bliss 3.33/1, Fairly useful on Flat for the Johnston stable and made most of good opportunity to open hurdles account in 4-runner Fakenham maiden (2m) in June. Below best returned to the level at Goodwood (14f) but no surprise to see a better showing now handicapping in this sphere. Handicap debut; won Fakenham maiden last month; beaten on Flat since; in the mix.
6th	1 6th (1) (6/1 +50%) Peace Of Rome	6 6/1(+50%)	(1) Peace Of Rome 6/1, Fair in bumpers and similar form over hurdles for Nicky Henderson, fourth in a 23f handicap here when last seen in May. Changed hands for £31,000 thereafter but marked drop back in trip may not suit ideally here. Disappointed in two handicaps; down in trip for stable debut; enough to prove.
7th	6 7th (6) (40/1 +20%) Chasamax	40 40/1(+20%)	(6) Chasamax 40/1, Three-time winner in this sphere for Nicky Henderson (including over C&D) but ended time with that yard below par and has continued in the same vein for current stable. Others make more appeal. Three wins for Nicky Henderson but little for this yard.

LTO Selection:

The versatile STATE OF BLISS has more to offer over hurdles and, as he had plenty in hand when landing a maiden at Fakenham last month, he rates a key player on his handicap hurdle debut. Admittedly, the runner-up from that race didn't do much for the form on his next start, which creates hope for the likes of Fanfaron Dino and Mix Of Clover, who are both capable of giving the selection plenty to think about despite being more exposed.

MIX OF CLOVER shaped encouragingly on the back of an 8-month absence when fourth in a C&D handicap 5 weeks ago from his much-reduced mark and he could be worth siding with to build on that here. Fanfaron Dino, back from a short break, and Alioski are others to consider. State of Bliss is another in the mix on handicap hurdle debut.

This might be the chance for ALIOSKI to gain a second success over hurdles.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 7f Royal Pleasure and 5f winner Companion. Newcomer to note.

Closely related to 7f winner Comedian Leader. 25/1, second of 8 at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 27 days ago. Entitled to improve.

Down the field in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot 8 weeks later (final start for Dominic Ffrench Davis). Steps up 2f in trip on first run for new yard with cheekpieces also added. Up 2f for stable debut and this looks tough under his penalty; cheekpieces on.

LTO Selection:

STORMY WAVES may have been half a length behind Novello Lad (second) on debut over C&D last month, but Charlie Appleby's charge may be open to more improvement now having raced very green that day and he could overturn that form. The son of Dubawi gets the vote ahead of his stablemate and newcomer Musical Act, as well as Sir Bolton, who drops in grade after being well beaten in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot.

MUSICAL ACT has been gelded already but has a fantastic pedigree and is selected to make a successful debut before market clues. Approval is another newcomer to note, while User Amistoso made a bright start at Newmarket and could be the pick of those with experience.

This can go to USER AMISTROSO, who made an eyecatching debut when fourth at the Newmarket July meeting.

Upped further in trip for handicap debut and highly likely he can do better again for his very good yard. Comfortably made all in maiden at Newbury (1m2f, good; clear lead long way) ten weeks ago.

Never figured at Leicester next time but better effort when fifth in 12-runner Newbury handicap (12f) 6 days ago. Likely he'll stay 1¾m provided he settles better. Creditable, rallying 5th of 12 at Newbury (1m4f, good) last Saturday; extra 2f could suit.

Has been gelded since however, and cheekpieces now go on. One to note if strong in betting. Heading the wrong way this term; gelded, headgear and a new trip; stamina in his pedigree.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 -17%) Another Run	7 7/1(-17%)	(4) Another Run 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was progressive in 3 starts on AW and returned to pick of that form when just touched off in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f) 2 starts back, despite hanging badly right. Shade underwhelming back in maiden company at Goodwood since, however. Fair maiden; not so good trying 1m6f latest; trainer won last three runnings of this race.
5th	2 5th (2) (3/1 -50%) Hidden Story	3 3/1(-50%)	(2) Hidden Story 3/1, Dubawi gelding who confirmed debut promise when opening his account at the third attempt in a Newcastle novice (10.2f) in June. Similar form when close-up fourth on handicap debut at Newmarket (12f) earlier this month Respected on latest form (1m4f at Newmarket) and he shaped as if he'd stay 1m6f.

LTO Selection:

NOTHING TO SEA has a likeable, progressive profile and he had a subsequent easy winner toiling back in third when winning his maiden over 1m2f at Newbury in May. The See The Moon gelding could improve again now upped half a mile in trip and an opening handicap mark of 91 looks workable. He can see off the likes of Hidden Story, who was a shade disappointing when sent off favourite at Newmarket recently, and Sir Mark Prescott's Brave Knight.

Off the mark in novice company at Newcastle 2 starts back, HIDDEN STORY ran to a similar level when finishing a close-up fourth on handicap debut at Newmarket (12f) earlier this month and, with this even longer trip expected to be within range, he shades the vote to come out on top. Nothing To Sea, on handicap bow, and Brave Knight head the dangers.

Hidden Story looks a solid option but it's also possible to be swayed by NOTHING TO SEA's front-running win in May.

Off mark in points at the third attempt (May 7) so not ruled out now going hurdling. Won modest maiden point in May; hurdle/stable debut; probably best watched.

LTO Selection:

Runner-up on each of his three starts in bumpers, SIX AND OUT has shown more than enough ability to suggest that he can go well in this sphere. This looks like a winnable opportunity on his hurdles debut, with the capable yet inconsistent Tip Top Tonto and Warwick runner-up Democritus looking best placed to chase him home. En Avant and Shengai Enki can also have a say in proceedings.

A few with chances but Jo Davis' DEMOCRITUS holds the clear edge on the form of his Warwick second so can go one better now after a break. Came From Nothing shaped well when a debut Bangor fourth and could emerge as the chief threat, with hurdling-newcomer Six And Out not discounted given his fair bumper form.

In the hope that a hood has the right effect, STAR LEGEND is taken to build on his recent debut effort.

Will improve. Encouraging third on Carlisle debut but the winner had previously finished behind Shagpyle.
7th	3 7th (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Alrashaka	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(3) Alrashaka 4.5/1, Frankel filly. Sister to smart 1m winner Wadilsafa and half-sister to 3 winners, including very smart winner up to 1m Muntazah and smart 7f winner Talaayeb. Lots to recommend her on paper. Pedigree makes her one to be interested in on debut, especially if market positive.

LTO Selection:

Cherry hasn't run a bad race so far in her career, but she did fail to justify her very short odds when third at Windsor last time and may be vulnerable once more. Preference is for LUNAR BIRD, who hit the line very well over 1m2f to shed her maiden tag in comfortable fashion and, considering the manner of that victory, she could be up to defying her 6lb penalty now stepped up in trip. Any market support for Alrashaka, who is related to a few winners, should be noted.

This has the makings of a good novice, with CHERRY taken to build on some promising efforts and open her account over a longer trip that is sure to suit. Shagpyle has more to offer, while newcomers Alrashaka and Franberri are both appealing on paper.

A few of these have shown ability, but the two newcomers are bred to be smart and ALRASHAKA is just given the edge.

1	10 1st (10) (4/1 +60%) Sayf Al Dawla	4 4/1(+60%)	(10) Sayf Al Dawla 4/1, Progressive in 2021, winning 1 of his 5 starts and ending year with creditable third of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 4/1). Not seen for 21 months, however, and market may prove best guide to claims on return. Unraced since 2021 but has a competitive mark if returning on song.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/1 +50%) Wind Your Neck In	10 10/1(+50%)	(6) Wind Your Neck In 10/1, Struggled in all 3 starts last year and while his reappearance second at Bath represented a step back in the right direction, he hasn't threatened in either start since. Won twice on soft as 2yo; only once (2023 return) in the shake-up from six starts since.
3	12 3rd (12) (25/1 -79%) Stately Home	25 25/1(-79%)	(12) Stately Home 25/1, Made a winning reappearance at Kempton (8f) in March but hasn't really kicked on from that and arrives on back of below-par effort at Chester. Close fifth of 15 in May came over 1m2f; failed to back that up when next seen 12 days ago.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 -20%) Croeso Cymraeg	6 6/1(-20%)	(5) Croeso Cymraeg 6/1, C&D winner who got back on the scoreboard when taking 7-runner handicap at Salisbury (12f, soft, 13/2) 12 days ago, kept up to work. Remains fairly treated and must enter calculations. Last three wins were over 1m4f (latest 12 days ago) but he's in each-way calculations.
5th	14 5th (14) (22/1 -57%) Solanna	22 22/1(-57%)	(14) Solanna 22/1, Likeable type who scored at Yarmouth and Lingfield over this trip before running a cracker in far deeper race at Newbury in May. Found run of good form coming to a halt at York latest but could well bounce back here. Failed to fire on latest outing but perhaps good to firm ground played a part.
6th	3 6th (3) (4.5/1 +25%) Tuxedo Junction	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(3) Tuxedo Junction 4.5/1, Yet to score outside maiden company but has largely acquitted himself in defeat this term, latest when third of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, good, 8/1) 23 days ago, hampered. Cheekpieces now added and likely to give another good account. Ran creditably at 1m2f for minor honours in three of four starts this term; first headgear.
7th	1 7th (1) (6/1 -71%) Sweet Reward	6 6/1(-71%)	(1) Sweet Reward 6/1, C&D winner who returned to form when taking 7-runner handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good) 22 days ago, having run of race. 3 lb rise fair and is a likely contender. Good course record has been dented, including penultimate start; 2nd and 1st either side.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 -65%) Cap Francais	33 33/1(-65%)	(2) Cap Francais 33/1, Scored on the Rowley Mile on return last season but ended campaign poorly and hasn't fared any better in a trio of outings this term. Hard to fancy. Out of form this season; wore first headgear (cheekpieces) last time, now sports a visor.
9th	11 9th (11) (7.5/1 +0%) Botas	7.5 7.5/1(+0%)	(11) Botas 7.5/1, Multiple winner in France who had made an encouraging start for current yard, latest when second of 12 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good, 20/1) 13 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and merits consideration. Solid start to British career with two places at 1m; needs to prove himself over this far.
10th	7 10th (7) (6/1 +57%) Prophet's Dream	6 6/1(+57%)	(7) Prophet's Dream 6/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o but progressive in handicaps, displaying a very willing attitude when supplementing his Bath success at Leicester (10f) in May. However, found things tougher in deeper contest at Pontefract since and this doesn't look any easier. Won twice from the front over 1m2f in May; disappointing show last month; now tongue tied.
11th	4 11th (4) (9/1 -80%) Paris Lights	9 9/1(-80%)	(4) Paris Lights 9/1, Sole success to date came on AW last winter but has only had 4 starts for current yard and posted solid second over this trip at Lingfield last time. Running well at 1m2f on Lingfield AW, with a lesser show on turf (1m4f) penultimate start.

LTO Selection:

Some fairly in-and-out performers, including last-time-out winners Sweet Reward and Croeso Cymraeg, make this a tricky puzzle to try and solve. BOTAS has hit the frame on both of his starts since joining the Jim Boyle yard, each over 1m. The Footstepsinthesand gelding kept on well at Ascot last time, taking second late on, so this longer trip could unlock some improvement. Others to note include Paris Lights and Tuxedo Junction, who sports cheekpieces for the first time.

FLYAWAYDREAM is a consistent performer and looks worth siding with now upped in trip. Sweet Reward and Croeso Cymraeg head the list of dangers.

This looks a tough puzzle but SWEET REWARD's two big runs at other tracks among his last three starts require plenty of respect.

1	3 1st (3) (0.4/1 +84%) Nadim	0.4 0.4/1(+84%)	(3) Nadim 0.4/1, Has shown improved form with cheekpieces on last 2 starts, winning at Stratford (18.7f) before following up at Market Rasen (16.6f) 5 days ago. Did well under circumstances last time having been shuffled back after 3 out, so he's respected under a penalty. Recent wins at Stratford and Market Rasen and every chance in hat-trick bid; up in trip.
2	9 2nd (9) (5.5/1 +78%) Jolie Baie	5.5 5.5/1(+78%)	(9) Jolie Baie 5.5/1, Down the field in a Huntingdon bumper on debut and only mild encouragement so far over hurdles. In first-time hood, couldn't justify support (9/1) when finishing fourth of 9 at this course (2m) on handicap debut 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Fourth over 2m here on this month's handicap debut; 9lb out of the weights.
3	1 3rd (1) (8.5/1 +39%) Shandancer	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(1) Shandancer 8.5/1, Fair bumper performer in Ireland and he's reached a similar level over hurdles, producing best effort when second at Fontwell (21.7f) in May. Runner-up again at Stratford next time, but not in the same form in first-time blinkers at Southwell last month. Bounce back called for. Plenty of form in maidens and handicaps but disappointing effort latest.
4	8 4th (8) (8.5/1 +66%) Citizen Jane	8.5 8.5/1(+66%)	(8) Citizen Jane 8.5/1, Little form over hurdles for Tom Symonds and, despite winning a point in between, failed to offer much encouragement on Rules debut for this yard at Uttoxeter (23.2f) in June. Shaped better when mid-field at this course (2m) last time, but further improvement required. Shaped well over 2m here latest; could do better at this trip if handling soft ground.
5th	7 5th (7) (50/1 +0%) Secret Moss	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Secret Moss 50/1, Has shown little in bumpers/over hurdles so far, finishing well held after 16 months off when fifth of 8 on handicap debut at Stratford 23 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Well beaten all starts, including on handicap debut this month.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (66/1 +34%) Barnay	66 66/1(+34%)	(6) Barnay 66/1, Hurdles winner for Jennie Candlish but form has gone the wrong way over fences for his current yard this year, pulled up last 2 starts (reportedly bled on his latest outing). Cheekpieces back on, but has enough to prove returned to hurdling. Out of form in chases in the spring; lot to prove on return from a break.

LTO Selection:

Similar to his stable, NADIM can do little wrong at present and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards for the four-year-old, with the step up in trip expected to bring about further improvement. A comfortable winner over C&D in June, Best Mate Dave looks to be his main danger, ahead of Painless Potter, who has been second here on two of his last three starts.

In a first-time tongue tie, MY GIFT TO YOU proved a different proposition on his stable/handicap debut when getting off the mark in good style at Southwell 2 days ago, so he can score again if making the quick turnaround. Nadim arrives bidding for a hat-trick and is the main danger, with Painless Potter completing the shortlist.

After an easy win on Tuesday, it is hard to oppose MY GIFT TO YOU.

16:37 Leopardstown Maiden 7f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (2/1 -23%) Brilliant	2 2/1(-23%)	(7) Brilliant 2/1, Promising Gleneagles filly who shaped well when third of 10 in maiden at this course (7.3f, good, 4/1) 14 days ago. Has more to offer. Leading form claims. Good run here two weeks ago; sets the standard of those with a run and a likely player.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 -27%) Sakti	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(1) Sakti 3.5/1, Foaled April 10. €52,000 foal, Caravaggio filly. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner from family of Dewhurst Stakes/National Stakes winner Teofilo. Much respected. Well-bred newcomer; stable's juveniles in fine form and the choice of the champion jockey.
3	4 3rd (4) (22/1 -83%) National Lady	22 22/1(-83%)	(4) National Lady 22/1, Foaled April 18. €130,000 yearling, Magna Grecia filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 7f Dark Vader and 1m winner Jaafel. Dam 1¼m-13f winner (including US Grade 3 11f event). Not ruled out. E130,000 as a yearling; could be a longer term prospect and looks the stable second-string.
4	10 4th (10) (20/1 +39%) Asian Daze	20 20/1(+39%)	(10) Asian Daze 20/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 11 in maiden (7/2) at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Trainer going well. Should progress. This track could well suit better than Bellewstown; a candidate to get into the shake-up.
5th	6 5th (6) (2/1 +50%) Ten Deep	2 2/1(+50%)	(6) Ten Deep 2/1, Promising sort. 7/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good) on debut 27 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Likely to improve. Well in the mix. Tongue-tie added today and could be capable of above-average improvement from Curragh bow.
6th	9 6th (9) (66/1 -313%) Many Thanks	66 66/1(-313%)	(9) Many Thanks 66/1, Foaled April 9. Camacho filly. Sister to smart 7f winner With Thanks and half-sister to 7f winner Bells On Her Toes and useful winner up to 1m Surely Not. Dam unraced. Missed an engagement at Cork last month so ready to run but others more likely.
7th	13 7th (13) (12/1 +52%) Sli Na Ghealai	12 12/1(+52%)	(13) Sli Na Ghealai 12/1, Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 18 in maiden at this course (7f, good to soft, 10/3) 7 days ago. Stable having good spell. No forlorn hope. Stable second string on jockey bookings but no guarantee it will play out that way.
8th	12 8th (12) (12/1 +25%) Neo Smart	12 12/1(+25%)	(12) Neo Smart 12/1, Lightly-raced filly. Respectable fourth of 9 in nursery at the Curragh (6f, soft, 16/1) 5 days ago, running on. Trainer going well. Considered. Better effort in a Curragh nursery on Saturday but much more needed here.
9th	2 9th (2) (40/1 +0%) Hannah Buckle	40 40/1(+0%)	(2) Hannah Buckle 40/1, Foaled April 25. Bated Breath filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 7f/1m winner Sparkle Factor and 1¼m-12.5f winner Bid Adieu. Dam 7f/1m winner. Market can guide. Related to plenty of winners; worth a market check but likely best watched.
10th	8 10th (8) (66/1 -164%) Madame Plaintiff	66 66/1(-164%)	(8) Madame Plaintiff 66/1, Foaled April 21. €40,000 yearling, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 5f/5.5f winner Samskara and 6f-1m winner Tommy Rock. Stable juveniles have been on fire this season and a market check is advisable.
11th	3 11th (3) (25/1 -79%) Limoncello Lady	25 25/1(-79%)	(3) Limoncello Lady 25/1, Foaled February 8. Magna Grecia filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 6f Encrypted and useful 2-y-o 6f winner Gisburn. Dam French 1m winner. Noteworthy newcomer. Quite speedily-bred newcomer with a nice draw; not to be underestimated.
12th	5 12th (5) (250/1 -150%) Promo Queen	250 250/1(-150%)	(5) Promo Queen 250/1, Once-raced filly. Eleventh of 12 in minor event at this course (7.2f, good, 33/1) on debut 35 days ago, very slowly away. Not a factor after a slow start on debut here last month; unlikely to play a hand here.
13th	11 13th (11) (150/1 -127%) Foxtrot J	150 150/1(-127%)	(11) Foxtrot J 150/1, Foaled March 5. €7,000 yearling, Bungle Inthejungle filly. Closely related to 2-y-o 1m winner Power Down and half-sister to winners abroad by Arcano and El Kabeir. Stable among the winners recently but this one is best watched.

LTO Selection:

With seven debutants in the line-up, all coming from respected sources, the market should be informative. The shrewd Barry Fitzgerald introduces Hannah Buckle, who is closely related to a whole host of winners, while Ger Lyons is double-handed with Sakti and National Lady, the latter a 130,000-euro yearling purchase. For a selection, the Paddy Twomey-trained TEN DEEP gets the nod. Fifth on debut at the Curragh behind the impressive Ylang Ylang, she finished ahead of subsequent winners Caught U Looking and Opera Singer. The Ten Sovereigns bay can be expected to come on plenty for that experience and is fitted with a tongue strap now. A half-sister to four-time Group 1 winner Alcohol Free, the twice-raced Brilliant should be able to make her presence felt with Ryan Moore aboard, while it will be interesting to see how Sli Na Ghealai fares off a light weight, with Kyanna Van Buuren claiming 10lb.

BRILLIANT shaped well when third here last time and with further progress on the cards she looks the way to go in an intriguing juvenile maiden. Curragh-fifth Ten Deep appeals as the one to give Aidan O'Brien's Gleneagles filly most to do ahead of Neo Smart and newcomers Limoncello Lady and Sakti.

The preferred one is TEN DEEP who shaped with lots of promise on debut at the Curragh and could improve considerably

1	1 1st (1) (1.2/1 +4%) Golden Maverick	1.2 1.2/1(+4%)	(1) Golden Maverick 1.2/1, 5/6, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) 7 days ago, well on top finish. Back against his own age group but good chance of the hat-trick under penalty.
2	4 2nd (4) (16/1 -33%) Bosc Girl	16 16/1(-33%)	(4) Bosc Girl 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 on handicap debut at York (7.9f, good, 10/1) 13 days ago, dropped away over 1f out, not persevered with once held. Back up in trip.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 -33%) Leap Year Lad	6 6/1(-33%)	(5) Leap Year Lad 6/1, 7/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Haydock (10.2f, firm) 20 days ago, well ridden. More needed up 3 lb.
4	3 4th (3) (9/1 -29%) Hondo	9 9/1(-29%)	(3) Hondo 9/1, Sixth of 7 in maiden (7/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Makes handicap debut and longer trip will suit.
5th	6 5th (6) (2.75/1 +45%) Mathematician	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(6) Mathematician 2.75/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, sixth of 10 at Salisbury (7f, firm) 44 days ago. Makes handicap debut up in trip and could have more to offer. 11/2 third-favourite when running in void race Jul 11.
6th	2 6th (2) (28/1 +15%) Mandega	28 28/1(+15%)	(2) Mandega 28/1, Latest win at Fontainebleau in March. 33/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 10 days ago. More needed.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 -60%) Lunacy	12 12/1(-60%)	(7) Lunacy 12/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, soft, 14/1) 12 days ago, showing a tenacious attitude with front-running tactics employed for the first time. Could go well again back up in class.

LTO Selection:

Leap Year Lad relished the step up to this distance for the first time on his latest outing when scoring by just under two lengths at Haydock and has only been raised 3lb for that display, but preference is for the in-form GOLDEN MAVERICK. The son of Zarak has already won four times this year and his most impressive victory was arguably his latest effort at Epsom, which suggests he could defy a 6lb penalty today. Hondo warrants a market check on his handicap bow.

GOLDEN MAVERICK can get the hat-trick up under a penalty. Mathematician and Hondo are potential improvers now going handicapping up in trip.

Preference is for GOLDEN MAVERICK who won so convincingly at Epsom a week ago. He has a 6lb penalty to carry, but is still 1lb well in.

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +33%) Prosecco	4 4/1(+33%)	(2) Prosecco 4/1, Signs of ability prior to a rather underwhelming handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month. In good hands and can't be written off. Handicap debut (1m4f, AW) last time was her best show since debut, but in only 6th of 9.
2	5 2nd (5) (6.5/1 +28%) Loughville	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(5) Loughville 6.5/1, Brought along gradually last year but showed clear signs of ability on second/third outings. Stable's runners often do better in handicaps, so worth a market check back from 7 months off. Shaped on AW as 2yo as if 1m2f can help and her dam was a 1m2f winner; holds some appeal.
3	9 3rd (9) (2.75/1 +0%) Surrey Belle	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(9) Surrey Belle 2.75/1, Settled better and produced comfortably her best effort to date when runner-up in a handicap at Ffos Las earlier this month, staying on after conceding first run. More to come and looks the one to beat. Didn't get the best of runs over 1f out when second of six at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) latest.
4	8 4th (8) (2/1 +27%) Kamanika	2 2/1(+27%)	(8) Kamanika 2/1, Has held her form well so far this term and gained another deserved success at Leicester 28 days ago. Should give another good account. More exposed than the rest but has also shown she can win, including last time out.
5th	4 5th (4) (5.5/1 +31%) Showy	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(4) Showy 5.5/1, Best effort to date when fourth in a maiden at Windsor 3 weeks ago and didn't have a hard time. Enters handicaps with potential and can't be ruled out. Fourth in 1m2f maiden at Windsor; handicap debut and could be open to further progress.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 -12%) Lowick	28 28/1(-12%)	(6) Lowick 28/1, Has only hinted at ability to date and opening mark demands a lot more. Promise on debut; something amiss both runs since, the bit slipping on first occasion.

LTO Selection:

KAMANIKA edged out a subsequent dual winner at Leicester four weeks ago and a 2lb rise for that effort looks lenient. With plenty of question marks surrounding the others, this experienced, and in-form, filly looks the most solid option. Cutting back in distance looks set to suit Prosecco, who interestingly has William Buick aboard, while Showy and Loughville are both interesting handicap newcomers.

SURREY BELLE looked ahead of her opening mark when runner-up at Ffos Las 23 days ago and she's taken to prove the point. Kamanika is an obvious danger on the back of her success at Leicester and both Loughville and Showy appeal as interesting handicap debutantes.

Seasonal and handicap debutante LOUGHVILLE (nap) gets the vote. Surrey Belle and Kamanika look most solid among the rest.

O'Callaghan when sixth of 7 in minor event hurdle at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) on NH debut 19 days ago. Jumped poorly on hurdling debut at Bellewstown and is best watched.
1	11 1st (11) (0.18/1 +55%) Shajak	0.18 0.18/1(+55%)	(11) Shajak 0.18/1, Useful Flat winner. Promising individual. Useful winner at 12f on flat. 4/7, second of 10 in novice hurdle at Sligo (16.9f, good) 18 days ago. Open to progress and clear pick on form. Just denied at Sligo; this track should suit him better and he can get the job done.
2	14 2nd (14) (40/1 -21%) All Ways And Ever	40 40/1(-21%)	(14) All Ways And Ever 40/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Once-raced maiden. 28/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) on NH debut 14 days ago, going in snatches. Poor Flat maiden but ran respectably in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle; needs lots more.
3	16 3rd (16) (6/1 +20%) Lady Masquerade	6 6/1(+20%)	(16) Lady Masquerade 6/1, €6,500 3-y-o, Masked Marvel filly. Dam (h112), placed over hurdles in France, half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stays 25f) Lifetime Ambition out of 15f French hurdle winner Jeanquiri. Newcomer to note.

Dam, fell sole start in points, half-sister to Irish Grand National winner General Principle and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Saints And Sinners. Nicely-bred but made only 1,000euros as a 3yo; best watched on debut.
5th	15 5th (15) (66/1 -65%) Dolly Watkins	66 66/1(-65%)	(15) Dolly Watkins 66/1, Lucky Speed filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser Minx Tiara. Dam (h93), lightly raced over hurdles, 1½m winner on Flat. Has a decent pedigree but is best watched unless market strength.
6th	13 6th (13) (20/1 +39%) Aegirine	20 20/1(+39%)	(13) Aegirine 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 17 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (20f, good to soft, 200/1) 21 days ago. Fifth in a Tipperary maiden hurdle last time but plenty more is still needed.
7th	18 7th (18) (80/1 -60%) Yorkshire Escape	80 80/1(-60%)	(18) Yorkshire Escape 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, unseated rider in novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 13 days ago. Unable to get past the first obstacle on hurdling debut; not much appeal.
8th	12 8th (12) (11/1 +0%) Verbal Sparring	11 11/1(+0%)	(12) Verbal Sparring 11/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. Might have been placed when unseated rider in juvenile hurdle (9/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft) 169 days ago, pulling hard. Has shown some ability over hurdles but will be of more interest in handicaps.
9th	1 9th (1) (125/1 -213%) Black Vega	125 125/1(-213%)	(1) Black Vega 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, tenth of 14 in bumper at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Weakened after taking a keen hold and clipping a heel on bumper debut; seems best watched.
10th	4 10th (4) (150/1 -127%) Container Madness	150 150/1(-127%)	(4) Container Madness 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 18 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Tailed-off on debut in a Cork maiden hurdle recently and can't be fancied.
11th	7 11th (7) (25/1 +50%) Man Oh Man	25 25/1(+50%)	(7) Man Oh Man 25/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 18 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft, 50/1) on NH debut 13 days ago. Made some late progress on hurdles bow but looks like will need more time.
12th	8 12th (8) (18/1 +55%) No Mean Feat	18 18/1(+55%)	(8) No Mean Feat 18/1, €72,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Corran Cross, stays 23f, and half-brother to fair 2½m hurdle winner Get Up Mush. Pulled up sole start in points (Apr 16). Pulled-up in a point' sole start; best watched for future reference.
13th	6 13th (6) (66/1 -164%) Junot	66 66/1(-164%)	(6) Junot 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, last of 14 in maiden (150/1) at Cork (10.1f, good to soft), missing break. Switches from Flat to hurdles. 7/13 on last hurdle outing. A glimpse of ability in sole hurdle start but will be of more interest in handicaps.
14th	5 14th (5) (100/1 -150%) Cramers Valley	100 100/1(-150%)	(5) Cramers Valley 100/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Seventh of 10 in novice hurdle at Sligo (16.9f, good, 40/1) on hurdles bow 18 days ago. Was 30l behind Shajak at Sligo and is very unlikely to make up that ground.
15th	2 15th (2) (150/1 -88%) Boston Bobby	150 150/1(-88%)	(2) Boston Bobby 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 11 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good) on NH debut 36 days ago. Tailed-off in a Wexford maiden hurdle on debut at can't be fancied.
16th	3 16th (3) (125/1 -150%) Can't Think	125 125/1(-150%)	(3) Can't Think 125/1, Shirocco gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful French hurdler (2¼m-19f winner) Brighter Later. A 3,500euros 3yo and doesn't make much appeal despite being by a decent sire.

LTO Selection:

SHAJAK is a standout on form and might get through the likely soft ground. Listed-placed and rated 95 on the flat last year, he ran a nice race on jumps debut and while slightly disappointing when narrowly beaten at Sligo, conceded 7lb to the winner, who subsequently won on the flat, with the pair pulling well clear. Verbal Sparring is an eight-race maiden but was rated 75 on the flat. He was staying on when unseating his rider at Fairyhouse in February but hasn't run since although has proven ability to handle testing ground. Lady Masquerade is out of a half-sister to three capable jumpers, Can't Think is out of an unraced half-sister to a French Listed hurdle winner while R S Ambush is out of a half-sister to Irish National winner General Principle. Dolly Watkins is a half-sister to five-time winner Minx Tiara while No Mean Feat was pulled up when tailed off on point-to-point debut last April but is surely capable of better.

Useful Flat-winner SHAJAK left his hurdles debut well behind when just denied at Sligo and has been found an excellent opportunity. Verbal Sparring might have been placed had he completed at Fairyhouse when last seen in February and can make the frame this time.

It is difficult to oppose SHAJAK, who should be able to go one better than when outbattled at Sligo last time.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (4.5/1 +25%) Champ Royal	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(5) Champ Royal 4.5/1, Several creditable efforts in Ireland for Colm Murphy. Yet to match that form for current stable but there was a bit more encouragement in his latest effort at this course. Too well handicapped to ignore. Best of four runs for yard when fifth over 2m4f here this month; could figure.
2	6 2nd (6) (4.5/1 +25%) Kapitaliste	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(6) Kapitaliste 4.5/1, Made the frame first 2 starts this term but needs to bounce back from a tame display (pulled up) at this course last month. Runner-up on first three visits here but was pulled up on latest start on the track.
3	7 3rd (7) (50/1 +24%) Off The Planet	50 50/1(+24%)	(7) Off The Planet 50/1, Record became distinctly patchy for Philip Hobbs, tailed off when falling 3 out at Warwick in spring 2022. Unsuccessful in points subsequently and debut for current stable was uninspiring. Not totally disgraced on stable debut but no great appeal back up in trip for this maiden.
4	8 4th (8) (4/1 +43%) Alberic	4 4/1(+43%)	(8) Alberic 4/1, Scored over hurdles and fences in early 2022 and signs of a return to form when fourth in a handicap chaser at Fontwell 78 days ago. Claims if he can build on that back over timber. Ran well enough twice in the spring to have chances if he stays this trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 +17%) Twilight Girl	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Twilight Girl 10/1, Fair hurdler/chaser in Ireland at her peak. Dropping in the weights and, while not firing lately, she represents an in-form stable and has cheekpieces applied for the first time. Three point wins this year but unplaced in two recent hurdle starts, the latest over C&D.
6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 -38%) Fierami	22 22/1(-38%)	(3) Fierami 22/1, Fair winner at 21f over hurdles but failed to match that level sent chasing last year and not a great deal of encouragement on both starts for current stable. Return to hurdling might help. Well beaten in two chases; only win (on heavy ground) came in February 2021.
7th	10 7th (10) (12/1 +52%) Stripe Of Honour	12 12/1(+52%)	(10) Stripe Of Honour 12/1, Sagged his second course success when landing 12-runner handicap (20f) in May but hasn't been in the same form since. Inconsistent but has won twice around here at huge odds.
8th	11 8th (11) (22/1 +12%) Phoebus Lescribaa	22 22/1(+12%)	(11) Phoebus Lescribaa 22/1, Veteran who struggled over hurdles last season and fell in a handicap at Stratford on chasing debut a couple of months ago. Plenty to prove. Not in great form earlier this year and both hurdle wins gained on good ground.
9th	9 9th (9) (16/1 -45%) Punches Cross	16 16/1(-45%)	(9) Punches Cross 16/1, Useful handicap chaser at best for Joseph Patrick O'Brien but form has gone the wrong way for his current trainer. Best watched returning to hurdling. Unplaced in ten British chases; first hurdle start for five years.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (5/1 -43%) Sylvies Dance	5 5/1(-43%)	(1) Sylvies Dance 5/1, Winner in points who was well prepared to make a successful return to the track at Newton Abbot last month. Creditable third at Southwell since and seems likely to be on the premises. Newton Abbot novice winner but beaten 20l+ in a handicap since; may still figure.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (8/1 -7%) Blackjacktennessee	8 8/1(-7%)	(12) Blackjacktennessee 8/1, Long-standing maiden who was pulled up in a handicap chase at this course last time and makes little appeal returning to the smaller obstacles. 0-30 in career and hasn't run over hurdles for more than five years.

LTO Selection:

KAPITALISTE may have been a major disappointment when pulling up here last time, but he had been in good form before that and stepping back up in trip could work the oracle. Similar comments apply to the unexposed Sylvies Dance, who is better than showing at Southwell most recently, while Blackjacktennessee is another capable of bouncing back to his best. Alberic and Punches Cross are on the shortlist also.

CHAMP ROYAL is well treated on his Irish form and his latest fifth at this course was the best form he's shown for his current stable, so he gets the tentative vote in a race that lacks depth. In-form Sylvies Dance is a threat and Alberic is of interest back over hurdles.

Dual C&D winner SHEILA NASH showed enough on her latest start to earn the vote.

1	6 1st (6) (0.25/1 +0%) Ylang Ylang	0.25 0.25/1(+0%)	(6) Ylang Ylang 0.25/1, Highly promising individual. Won 12-runner maiden at the Curragh (7f, good, 8/13) on debut 27 days ago, keeping on well. Excellent prospect who should take this before going on to bigger things. Impressive Curragh maiden winner likely the one to beat.
2	5 2nd (5) (18/1 +28%) Vespertilio	18 18/1(+28%)	(5) Vespertilio 18/1, Once-raced maiden. Third of 14 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 14/1) on debut 15 days ago, best work finish. Very hard to make a case for. Looked to be crying out for this step up in trip at Fairyhouse; certain improver.
3	2 3rd (2) (4.5/1 +18%) Mysteries	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(2) Mysteries 4.5/1, 8/11, won 13-runner maiden at Cork (6f, good to soft) 41 days ago, driven out. In good hands and likely to progress further, so not out of place in this company. Won going away at Cork and longer trip should see her in an even better light.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 +0%) Nemonte	14 14/1(+0%)	(3) Nemonte 14/1, Winner at the Curragh in May. 2¼ lengths seventh of 16 to Snellen in Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm, 20/1) 33 days ago. Remains with potential. Chesham seventh holds place claims.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 -25%) Rush Queen	50 50/1(-25%)	(4) Rush Queen 50/1, Winner at Listowel in June. 6/1, third of 11 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, good) 19 days ago. Up in trip. going the right way but this represents a tricky assignment. Steadily progressive but doesn't appear an obvious candidate for this step up in trip.
6th	1 6th (1) (50/1 -52%) Lady Craftsman	50 50/1(-52%)	(1) Lady Craftsman 50/1, Won 11-runner maiden at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft, 8/1) 21 days ago, always holding on. Open to progress but this is a much stiffer test. Bellewstown winner going the right way but much more on her plate here.

LTO Selection:

The O'Brien clan have dominated this race in recent seasons and that trend looks set to continue. Bought for 1.5 million guineas as a yearling, YLANG YLANG impressed when making all on debut at the Curragh, with subsequent winners Caught U Looking and Opera Singer in behind. An early favourite for next year's 1000 Guineas, the daughter of Frankel should prove hard to beat. Joseph and Donnacha O'Brien saddle Nemonte and Mysteries respectively, with the former also successful on debut at the Curragh. She since finished a respectable seventh in the Chesham at Royal Ascot and should be able to make an impact here. A close third on debut, Mysteries was a good winner on her second start at Cork and it will come as no real surprise if she manages to follow up. Bellewstown winner Lady Craftsman looks the best of the remainder.

YLANG YLANG looked a talented filly when making a winning start at the Curragh 27 days ago and she's fancied to make a seamless transition into Group company. Mysteries and Nemonte are the likeliest duo to capitalise if the selection fluffs her lines.

Impressive at the Curragh YLANG YLANG can follow up here on the well-established path for Ballydoyle's top juvenile fillies

Others more persuasive. 13lb below last winning mark and goes on most ground, but not quite sure what to expect.
2	7 2nd (7) (16/1 -33%) Victoria Falls	16 16/1(-33%)	(7) Victoria Falls 16/1, Rare below-par effort when fifth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm, 4/1) 19 days ago. No surprise to see her leave her latest run behind. Return to a softer surface may help and is back off her sole winning mark; interesting.
3	10 3rd (10) (1.75/1 +42%) Lockdown Lass	1.75 1.75/1(+42%)	(10) Lockdown Lass 1.75/1, Back up in trip, recorded her second win of the month when landing 11-runner handicap (9/2) at this C&D (soft) 5 days ago. Carries penalty but she can complete the hat-trick with conditions to suit. 5lb penalty in bid for a hat-trick, but respected especially if the ground remains soft.
4	9 4th (9) (7.5/1 +25%) Hostelry	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(9) Hostelry 7.5/1, Successful at Ayr in May and has been holding her form well since, in first-time cheekpieces when third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (firm) 20 days ago. Can be thereabouts once more. Consistent but hard to win with; third over C&D last time but others preferred for the win.
5th	1 5th (1) (14/1 -27%) Rory	14 14/1(-27%)	(1) Rory 14/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Not discredited when fifth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good, 5/1) 10 days ago, though very slowly away and went in snatches. Blinkers/hood now reached for. Losing run up to 16 and faster ground seems to suit him best; new headgear combination.
6th	2 6th (2) (6/1 -33%) Dougies Dream	6 6/1(-33%)	(2) Dougies Dream 6/1, With cheekpieces reapplied, back to near his best when winning 10-runner handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 27 days ago. Merits consideration in his current form. 2lb higher than when winning over C&D last time, but soft ground could be a problem.
7th	14 7th (14) (10/1 +9%) Distinction	10 10/1(+9%)	(14) Distinction 10/1, Twenty-eight runs since his sole success back in 2021. However, he's been proving consistent this year, third of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good to soft, 9/2) 2 weeks ago. Running consistently well in defeat since returning, but record of 1-41 is hard to ignore.
8th	11 8th (11) (18/1 -50%) Josiebond	18 18/1(-50%)	(11) Josiebond 18/1, Won at Beverley in June and has made the frame both starts since, fourth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good, 5/1) 10 days ago. Can give her running again. Won on her favoured soft ground at Beverley last month, but may find one or two too good.
9th	6 9th (6) (80/1 -100%) Blame The Farrier	80 80/1(-100%)	(6) Blame The Farrier 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 18/1, not in the same form as previous outing when sixth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago. Has work to do. 0-12 under both codes; fair handicap debut but a step backwards last time; look elsewhere.
10th	5 10th (5) (9/1 +10%) Lunar Space	9 9/1(+10%)	(5) Lunar Space 9/1, Sixteen runs since his only win back in 2021. 33/1, ran better than for a while when sixth of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Needs to be able to back up his latest effort. A bit more last time; interesting to see if he can step up again; has stamina to prove.
11th	4 11th (4) (7.5/1 -7%) Le Reveur	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(4) Le Reveur 7.5/1, C&D winner. 11/2, failed to confirm his previous effort when fourth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, good) 27 days ago. However, he's capable of getting involved as he drops in grade. Remains 8lb below last winning mark and a player if settling better than of late.
12th	3 12th (3) (100/1 -52%) Panama City	100 100/1(-52%)	(3) Panama City 100/1, Has finished well held both starts this season, last of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm, 33/1) 22 days ago. Best watched on first run for yard after leaving Tim Easterby. Regressed since winning a Beverley maiden and makes his debut for new yard; best watched.

LTO Selection:

Recent C&D victor Lockdown Lass is likely to have her supports after she completed a double by a neck over this C&D on Saturday and her 5lb penalty is partly negated by the booking for 3lb claimer Laura Pearson. However, this does represent a quick turnaround for her and the vote goes to LE REVEUR, who has put in solid displays in class 5 events at Newmarket the last twice and he could take advantage of the drop in class, despite a 2lb rise for his last run. Hostelry and Rory are others to consider.

LOCKDOWN LASS made it back-to-back wins when scoring over C&D 5 days ago and, with conditions to suit, she can defy a penalty in her current mood. Hostelry also arrives in good form and is a likely contender, while Dougies Dream won here on his latest outing and completes the shortlist.

A chance is taken with VICTORIA FALLS who would appreciate the return to a soft surface and has dropped back to her winning mark.

7th	1 7th (1) (6/1 -33%) Callianassa	6 6/1(-33%)	(1) Callianassa 6/1, Found the Queen Mary all too much but more much like it when second on nursery bow at York (6f), keeping on and beaten only 2 lengths. Raised 4 lb dropped back in trip (headgear also removed) and probably has races in her. Solid 6f handicap debut at York; up 4lb now back at 5f with regular hood left off.
8th	8 8th (8) (12/1 -33%) Zola Power	12 12/1(-33%)	(8) Zola Power 12/1, Showed a fair bit more from the front in 6f Newbury novice a fortnight ago and could do better still now handicapping. Shaped quite well when 6th at Newbury latest; return to 5f can suit on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

I'm So Dizzy improved to score at Nottingham last time, when showing a lot of pace to go in by a length, so she warrants respect on her first time in handicap company. However, preference is still for CALLIANASSA, who was second at York over 6f off a 4lb lower mark but she was nicely clear of the third and boasts leading claims of going one better. Chinese Knot is also considered after her Windsor second.

MIDNIGHT LIR is worth a chance to bounce back from his disappointing Hamilton run as handicaps can see him in a better light. Lieutenant Rascal can also do better now going into nurseries, while Chinese Knot ran well at Windsor last week and could be in the mix again.

Zola Power is respected back at 5f but I'M SO DIZZY is taken to improve on her recent Nottingham win.

Off 20 months. Market check advised on return. Maiden has shown some decent hurdle form but can only be watched after a long absence.

LTO Selection:

SHEER BRAVADO landed a gamble on debut for his trainer at Cork and should comfortably defy an 8lb hike. Once rated 91 on the flat, he won easily on his reappearance run and a reproduction would see him hard to beat, and he has previous form on soft ground. Crowsatedappletart has won just once from 15 starts but that win came over a similar distance on today's course in March and didn't seem quite as effective over fences on his most recent runs. Jack Holiday is dependable and able at this distance but prefers a sound surface while Hard Rain is a 17-race maiden who ran well enough over fences recently and has been placed in similar hurdles in the past. Charlies Pride and Future Proof are held by the selection on Cork form. Florey Spud, a 17-race maiden but with useful recent form, and race-fit Leroy Leroy are declared to run at Ballinrobe on Tuesday.

These slower conditions will suit course winner CROWSATEDAPPLETART and he gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Sheer Bravado and Jack Holiday can also make their presence felt.

Having landed a gamble at Cork off the back of a huge lay-off, SHEER BRAVADO could be up to defying an 8lb rise.

1	3 1st (3) (1/1 +67%) Henry Adams	1 1/1(+67%)	(3) Henry Adams 1/1, Won 5-runner maiden (3/1) at Naas (7f, good) on debut 19 days ago, always holding on. Trainer going well. Blinkers on 1st time. Should improve and well worthy of respect. Ran green when winning debut at Naas; blinkers fitted and could well improve plenty.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.75/1 +78%) Devious	1.75 1.75/1(+78%)	(2) Devious 1.75/1, Winner at Naas in May. 9 lengths eighth of 9 to Bucanero Fuerte in Railway Stakes (17/2) at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Not discounted back down in grade. Never really competitive over 6f in Group 2 contests since maiden win; upped in trip now.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +60%) Chicago Fireball	4 4/1(+60%)	(1) Chicago Fireball 4/1, Twice-raced maiden. 14/1, third of 5 in minor event at Tipperary (7.4f, good) 22 days ago. Yard in good form. Remains with potential and looks well worth his place in this grade. No stamina doubts after Tipperary third but this likely a tougher task again.
4	6 4th (6) (40/1 +50%) Saxon Kingdom	40 40/1(+50%)	(6) Saxon Kingdom 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, last of 5 in minor event at Tipperary (7.4f, good) on debut 22 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Plenty to find with Chicago Fireball on Tipperary debut and this looks very ambitious.

LTO Selection:

The O'Brien clan again dominate here, but they might have to settle for minor honours behind the Johnny Murtagh-trained CHICAGO FIREBALL. One of two maidens in the line-up, the Acclamation colt had a far from clear passage on debut, finishing fourth behind Islandsinthestream. He since went down by just a neck and a head behind two smart prospects at Tipperary and a reproduction of that performance should see him go close. The aforementioned Islandsinthestream impressed when coming from last to first on debut and it would be no surprise if he managed to follow up. Henry Adams and Mountain Bear are the Ballydoyle representatives and both warrant respect, with Ryan Moore aboard the latter. Successful at the Curragh on his second start, he since failed to make an impact in a Group 2 at Newmarket. Devious has been highly tried since winning on debut at Naas and he should appreciate this drop in class.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained pair are hard to split but Ryan Moore appears to prefer MOUNTAIN BEAR, so he gets the vote ahead of Henry Adams, who was a comfortable winner of a Naas maiden on debut. Islandsinthestream is another to consider.

Preference is for Joseph O'Brien's ISLANDSINTHESTREAM, who looked a smart prospect when winning over this trip at the Curragh

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
10	10 (10) (5/1 +0%) Crow's Nest	5 5/1(+0%)	(10) Crow's Nest 5/1, Won 2 sprint novice events last month and continues to progress, unlucky not to finish closer in 3-y-o Newmarket handicap 4 weeks ago that has worked out well. Leading claims. Won 6f/5f novices; one-paced 3rd on handicap debut; needs more but still early days.
1	8 1st (8) (12/1 +33%) Dark Trooper	12 12/1(+33%)	(8) Dark Trooper 12/1, Dual AW winner in January and returned to form back on turf at Newmarket (7f) last time. Interesting now back sprinting against the older horses. Both wins at 7f on AW in January; acts on turf but high in the weights on return to 6f.
2	11 2nd (11) (3/1 +54%) Northern Spirit	3 3/1(+54%)	(11) Northern Spirit 3/1, Proved better than ever to get back to winning ways in 6f Nottingham handicap last week, the first-time cheekpieces clearly enabling him to eke out some improvement although he typically hung. Respected under a penalty. 3-6 in 6f handicaps, off the mark in some style last week; more to do under penalty.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 -18%) Monsieur Kodi	10 10/1(-18%)	(3) Monsieur Kodi 10/1, In good form this year, winning handicaps at Musselburgh (5f) and Thirsk (6f). Ran well at Ayr latest and one to consider. Won at 5f and 6f this year; up 3lb for latest win and this is competitive.
4	2 4th (2) (7.5/1 +25%) Bernardo O'Reilly	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(2) Bernardo O'Reilly 7.5/1, Won strong 6f Newbury handicap in the mud in April, seen to maximum effect under a waiting ride. Wasn't disgraced having found himself caught away from where the action developed behind Shobiz there latest, though is the sort that needs everything to fall right (prone to missing the break). Solid chance on 6f form in April; found little when last seen in May but can go well fresh.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/1 +42%) Hectic	7 7/1(+42%)	(5) Hectic 7/1, Close second on 7f Newbury reappearance but hasn't gone on from that, held again fitted with blinkers at Haydock last time. Returns to sprinting. Winning 2yo debut (6f); good 7f handicap debut on return; below par on last two starts.
6th	12 6th (12) (20/1 -150%) Hiatus	20 20/1(-150%)	(12) Hiatus 20/1, Sluiced through the mud to score at Windsor (6f) in May although is proving inconsistent, running one of his lesser races at Kempton 6 weeks ago. First run on soft when clear winner over 6f in May; not ruled out if ground deteriorates.
7th	4 7th (4) (3.5/1 -17%) Shobiz	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(4) Shobiz 3.5/1, Displayed a willing attitude as he landed good 18-runner 6f Newbury handicap in May. Went close there 6 weeks ago and probably still on the upgrade. Leading claims. In good form at 6f since latest absence; solid chance under K Shoemark, who is 2-3 on him.
8th	1 8th (1) (6/1 +45%) Faro De San Juan	6 6/1(+45%)	(1) Faro De San Juan 6/1, 25/1-winner at Chester last month, his first victory for this yard. Poor off this mark at Pontefract next time though and needs to bounce back. Useful form when 3rd at Doncaster in April; Chester winner in June; good run on the cards.
9th	7 9th (7) (12/1 -9%) Rathbone	12 12/1(-9%)	(7) Rathbone 12/1, Yet to score this term but he arrives in good nick, never nearer from wide draw at Beverley (5f) last time. One to note back over 6f. Has won on soft; went close at Pontefract in June; return to 6f will suit.
10th	6 10th (6) (33/1 -65%) Bear Profit	33 33/1(-65%)	(6) Bear Profit 33/1, Shaped a bit better than his previous starts this season in spite of the drop back to 5f at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago and a contender if building on that returned to 6f. Both wins on AW; never gone on from close 3rd of 6 on turf at Newmarket last summer.
11th	9 11th (9) (33/1 -65%) Some Nightmare	33 33/1(-65%)	(9) Some Nightmare 33/1, Been running respectably at Chepstow but this is tougher. In good form at 5f and 6f but others look to have better marks to exploit.

LTO Selection:

A chance can be taken on BERNARDO O'REILLY, who could only manage seventh behind Shobiz when seen in May. However, that was on good ground and his form this year on a softer surface has been of a much higher standard and he ought to go close. Crow's Nest is less exposed than most of these and needs to be considered off the same rating as his Newmarket third.

SHOBIZ is probably still on the up despite his short-priced reverse at Newbury 6 weeks ago and he can resume winning ways. Lightly-raced 3-y-o Crow's Nest looked unlucky not to finish closer in a Newmarket race that has worked out well 4 weeks ago and he's a big player. Nottingham-winner Northern Spirit is respected also.

A case can be made for several but on his best form in France and Britain FARO DE SAN JUAN would have a good stab.

Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, last of 12 in maiden at this course (12.3f, good, 125/1) on flat debut 33 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Up against it. Well beaten in three hurdle starts and can't be fancied.

7	7 \|RR\| (7) (50/1 +0%) Inchidaly Robin	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Inchidaly Robin 50/1, Robin Des Pres gelding. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (2m-2½m winner) Back To Bracka. Wears cheekpieces. Winning pointer, third last time (May 20). Will have to improve plenty to take this on rules debut; cheekpieces tried.

LTO Selection:

GORGEOUS SUSPECT has clearly had setbacks but should improve from a recent chase run and could be suited by this distance. His May 2021 debut, behind Banbridge, was very encouraging and while lightly-raced since, showed a glimpse of his old ability at Wexford, should improve fitness-wise and seems ground-versatile. Misty's Gift has failed in 11 previous maidens but is a stayer with form. Out of a sister to Rock On Ruby, he won two bumpers in 2021 and while he has subsequently failed to concede a winners' penalty in maiden hurdles, is dependable and was giving vain chase to Kinvara, which subsequently won at Cartmel by 18 lengths, at Wexford recently. He holds consistent Down Around on that form but might struggle against an on-song selection. Keeffelee was beaten by an easy winner at Tipperary while Sixhandsinmypocket has bits of useful form. Forest Breeze, in a hood, and Inchidaly Robin, wearing cheekpieces, step up from point-to-points while Gino Drummer Boy is declared to run on Tuesday.

MISTY'S GIFT has been in good form lately and would have been second in a novice at Wexford but for departing late. In a thin race, he's found a good opportunity to open his account for all that Gorgeous Suspect is quite closely matched on form. Point winner Forest Breeze is worth monitoring in the betting.

With the experience of 11 hurdle starts under his girth, MISTY'S GIFT can finally make the breakthrough.

1	4 1st (4) (7.5/1 -114%) Lenny's Spirit	7.5 7.5/1(-114%)	(4) Lenny's Spirit 7.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 11/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good) 24 days ago. One for the shortlist. Good performances under Sophie Smith the last twice and he's a key player.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 +50%) Warning Sign	2.25 2.25/1(+50%)	(2) Warning Sign 2.25/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at Kempton (8f) 64 days ago. Up in trip with work to do. Return to form needed but that could happen when he's back on slow ground.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/1 -71%) Alazwar	6 6/1(-71%)	(1) Alazwar 6/1, 15/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Significantly up in trip and in the mix. Creditable efforts over 1m/7f the last twice and this step back up in trip is worth a go.
4	6 4th (6) (18/1 -64%) Change Of Fortune	18 18/1(-64%)	(6) Change Of Fortune 18/1, Creditable third of 6 in maiden at Ffos Las (8f, good, 6/1) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Possibilities. Close third in Ffos Las maiden last time but now 0-11 and needs a bigger run here.
5th	5 5th (5) (2.25/1 +32%) Mrs Meader	2.25 2.25/1(+32%)	(5) Mrs Meader 2.25/1, C&D winner. 13/2, very good third of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Player off an unchanged mark. Won twice here last season under Ross Birkett and there's plenty to like.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/1 +0%) At Liberty	5 5/1(+0%)	(3) At Liberty 5/1, Latest win at Haydock in June. Creditable fourth of 7 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good, 9/2) 22 days ago. Needs considering. Won at Haydock last month before a fair fourth at Epsom and he could be involved.

LTO Selection:

Alazwar wasn't beaten far in a 0-82 handicap last week and he warrants plenty of respect in this lesser event, while Mrs Meader and At Liberty also hold solid claims. The vote, however, goes to LENNY'S SPIRIT, who is just 3lb higher than when winning over C&D two starts ago. He wasn't far behind a subsequent dual winner at Pontefract when last seen and another bold bid beckons under Sophie Smith, who knows him well having been on board the last twice.

Little between the principals on form but MRS MEADER is on a handy-looking mark and fancied to open her account for the season on the back of her very good Doncaster third. Alazwar and At Liberty both bring solid credentials to the table too and can chase home Julia Feilden's mare in that order.

The mare MRS MEADER won twice at Newbury last year and earns the vote on her first run here since. Lenny's Spirit is a danger.

C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 85/40, career best when winning 8-runner Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 15 days ago by 2½ lengths from Cigamia, driven out. In the picture. Convincingly landed a 7f Group 3 at Fairyhouse; good chance of stepping up in grade here.
2	5 2nd (5) (5.5/1 -10%) Honey Girl	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(5) Honey Girl 5.5/1, Useful filly. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at the Curragh in May. 7/1, 6¾ lengths ninth of 10 to Rogue Millennium in Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Not ruled out. Not effective last twice at the Curragh and Ascot but prevailing ground gives her a chance.
3	10 3rd (10) (3/1 +33%) Tarawa	3 3/1(+33%)	(10) Tarawa 3/1, Lightly-raced winner. 13/8, creditable ½-length second of 9 to Bold Discovery in listed race at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 25 days ago, well positioned. Should continue to give a good account. Had a couple of these behind when a close second in a Curragh Listed; leading contender.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 -69%) Power Under Me	11 11/1(-69%)	(2) Power Under Me 11/1, Smart gelding. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Won 6-runner Amethyst Stakes at this course (8f, heavy, 9/1) 81 days ago by ½ length from You Send Me. Expected to be bang there. Group 3 winner here; stable second string this time but could easily get involved.
5th	1 5th (1) (20/1 -150%) Cosmic Vega	20 20/1(-150%)	(1) Cosmic Vega 20/1, Useful gelding. Career best when winning 11-runner listed race (14/1) at Naas (7f, good to firm) 67 days ago by short head from Sharlouk, just holding on. Yard in good form. Ought to be in the shake-up. Ground versatile but needs to find an extra bit to make a serious impact at this level.
6th	9 6th (9) (5.5/1 +31%) Salt Lake City	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(9) Salt Lake City 5.5/1, Useful colt. Respectable 4½ lengths fifth of 9 to Bold Discovery in listed race at the Curragh (8f, good to firm, 7/4) 25 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Stable in good form so can't be totally dismissed. Behind Tarawa and Lord Massusus here last time; has a bit to find; trip probably not ideal.
7th	7 7th (7) (7/1 +22%) Lord Massusus	7 7/1(+22%)	(7) Lord Massusus 7/1, Useful gelding. 15/2, respectable 3¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Bold Discovery in listed race at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 25 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Yard having good spell. Not discounted. Came from too far off the pace in a Curragh Listed last time but that was promising.
8th	4 8th (4) (66/1 -100%) Snapraeterea	66 66/1(-100%)	(4) Snapraeterea 66/1, Useful gelding. 18/1, eighth of 19 in handicap at Cork (7f, soft) 83 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Difficult ask. Cheekpieces tried here; stable has a stronger contender in Honey Girl.
9th	3 9th (3) (40/1 -122%) Real Appeal	40 40/1(-122%)	(3) Real Appeal 40/1, Useful gelding. C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 20/1, creditable 1¼ lengths second of 6 to Ocean Jewel in Ballycorus Stakes at this course (7.2f, good) 42 days ago. Considered. Below his best behind Power Under Me in May but much better on good ground here last time.
10th	6 10th (6) (200/1 -60%) Alexander John	200 200/1(-60%)	(6) Alexander John 200/1, Useful colt. 8½ lengths tenth of 15 to Age of Kings in Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm, 100/1) 33 days ago. Much more is required. Good reason to believe he can win a race but no apparent chance at this level.

LTO Selection:

Transferred from the cancelled Curragh card on Sunday, Zarinsk is a significant inclusion and with a rating of 108, the Ger Lyons-trained filly is the highest rated runner in the line-up. A proven soft-ground performer and already twice successful at Leopardstown, she has plenty going for her. Lyons saddles another leading contender in the shape of Power Under Me. Also a dual course victor, he is rated just 2lb below his stable companion. For a selection, though, HONEY GIRL gets the nod. One of three Joseph O'Brien-trained representatives in the field, she is sure to relish the soft ground. Fourth in the 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh, Tarawa will have plenty of supporters, while the likeable Lord Massusus is another leading hope.

A case can be made for lots of these but POWER UNDER ME goes well fresh and just holds the edge on form so is taken to follow up his Amethyst success here in May. Zarinsk is feared most on the back of her Brownstown win at Fairyhouse, with Honey Girl and Tarawa both in the picture too.

The likeliest scorer is ZARINSK (nap) who was convincing in the Brownstown Stakes two weeks ago and for whom soft ground holds no fears

8th	3 8th (3) (7.5/1 -88%) Repertoire	7.5 7.5/1(-88%)	(3) Repertoire 7.5/1, Latest win at Newmarket in May and shaped well when second at Hamilton 3 weeks ago. Stronger gallop will see him in an even better light. 1m winner in May; good second at Hamilton latest; thereabouts from unchanged mark.
9th	6 9th (6) (20/1 -100%) Tahitian Prince	20 20/1(-100%)	(6) Tahitian Prince 20/1, Good third of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Kempton (8f) 29 days ago, not ideally placed. Lurks on a dangerous mark if he can build on that. Four wins in 2021; not seen too often since but latest 1m AW third was creditable.

LTO Selection:

REPERTOIRE did well to finish second off a slow pace at Hamilton last time and he has been left on the same mark, so with the drop in grade, he could prove very hard to beat. Shahbaz sports a first-time visor after his third at Ayr and he should go well once more, along with last-time-out scorer Alexander James and United Front.

The return to 1m is sure to suit the 3-y-o ACHILLEA and with the prospect of more to come on this her third handicap start. she's awarded the vote. Shahbaz and Repertoire are just a couple of potential threats.

The Charlie Fellowes-trained SHAHBAZ won in first-time cheekpieces last autumn and can repeat the feat in a first-time visor.

1	5 1st (5) (1.75/1 +22%) Walking The Walk	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(5) Walking The Walk 1.75/1, Latest win in chase at Perth in June. 7/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Expected to be bang there. In a competitive run of form over hurdles and fences; rated lower in this discipline.

Can make presence felt. Recent winner but seemingly anchored by an 8lb rise when only fifth last time.
3	13 3rd (13) (50/1 +0%) Golden Symphony	50 50/1(+0%)	(13) Golden Symphony 50/1, 40/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16f, heavy). Off 17 months. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Alan Donoghue. Plenty to prove. Maiden; absences are a feature in her profile and now returns from another.

Something to prove. Ran surprisingly well in a beginners' chase latest and that effort heightens interest.

8	8 \|B\| (8) (50/1 -25%) Petite Mike	50 50/1(-25%)	(8) Petite Mike 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good to soft) 53 days ago. Hard to fancy. Minor maiden promise but 40-1 when pulled up on his handicap debut; too much to prove.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (2.25/1 +63%) Tuff Days	2.25 2.25/1(+63%)	(2) Tuff Days 2.25/1, Good second of 14 in handicap hurdle (11/4) at Kilbeggan (24.4f, soft) 13 days ago. Should go well again. Running well but his apparent preference for quicker ground is a concern.
12	12 \|F\| (12) (100/1 -52%) Cottage Artist	100 100/1(-52%)	(12) Cottage Artist 100/1, Unreliable sort. 33/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Galway (19.1f, soft). Off 9 months. Remains a maiden and has been off since a quiet run at Galway last October.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (16/1 +0%) Portland Row	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Portland Row 16/1, Creditable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good, 22/1) 58 days ago. Worth a market check. Seven-race maiden who hasn't progressed since sent into handicaps.
16	16 \|PU\| (16) (18/1 +10%) Porky Rush	18 18/1(+10%)	(16) Porky Rush 18/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. Seventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good to soft, 22/1) 21 days ago. Three times he's finished runner-up in handicaps and he stays this far; ran okay latest.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (25/1 +11%) Well Joey	25 25/1(+11%)	(10) Well Joey 25/1, Twenty six runs since last win in 2020. 22/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap chase at Clonmel (22.8f, good) 48 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others preferred. Longstanding maiden over hurdles and is a much better chaser (four wins).
18	18 \|PU\| (18) (28/1 +15%) Share The Joy	28 28/1(+15%)	(18) Share The Joy 28/1, 80/1, seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good) 38 days ago. Needs to improve markedly. Beaten nearly 18l into seventh at Kilbeggan (3m) but that was her best run yet; needs more.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (50/1 -100%) No Logic	50 50/1(-100%)	(6) No Logic 50/1, Unreliable type. Slipped up in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.3f, good to soft, 10/1). Off 14 months. First run for yard after leaving John McConnell. 12-race maiden with ability but a long-time absent and has changed stables.

LTO Selection:

HOW DECC is largely unproven on today's likely soft ground but is well handicapped on his best form. He caught the eye when finishing well in a hot summer maiden at Killarney last August, finishing between capable hurdlers, and while inconsistent, returned to form against higher-rated hurdlers in a recent Tipperary chase. He competes from a low mark of 88 today, upped slightly in distance and under a 5lb claimer. In-form Tuff Days is dependable, likes this distance but all his form is on a sound surface while Walking The Walk is a useful staying chaser who has some hurdlers form but nonetheless is an 11-race maiden in this sphere. Ranger Billy is similarly able in this grade but finished behind Tuff Days at Kilbeggan recently.

WALKING THE WALK has been in excellent form lately and, although not as good in this sphere as over fences, he should be capable of defying this much lower mark. Ranger Billy looks a danger and Tuff Days seems likely to give another good account.

Preference is for WALKING THE WALK (nap), whose consistency counts for a lot at this level.

Closely related to 11f-16.5f winner Grand Providence and half-sister to 7f winner Allaroundtheworld. Dam 6f-1m winner. Stable second-string on jockey bookings and likely to need further.

Closely related to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 10.4f Arabian Queen and useful 2-y-o 1m winner Stormbuster. Dam 1m-1½m winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Bred to have a bright future and she's one to be interested in on debut.
3	9 3rd (9) (22/1 -57%) Quorate	22 22/1(-57%)	(9) Quorate 22/1, Once-raced filly. 7/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) on debut 41 days ago, very slowly away. Others make more appeal. Could be sharper for last month's debut at Goodwood but considerable improvement needed.
4	10 4th (10) (1.38/1 -10%) Royal Elysian	1.38 1.38/1(-10%)	(10) Royal Elysian 1.38/1, Promising type. Second of 11 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good to firm, 6/1) 21 days ago, running on. More to come and should take and is likely to be on the premises. Runner-up over 6f at Haydock on both starts and she sets a good form standard.

Dam, runner-up 1m (stayed 1¼m), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 12.4f) Shahah. 40,000gns yearling; check betting but she will need to be useful to make a winning start.
6th	7 6th (7) (28/1 -40%) I Dare You	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) I Dare You 28/1, Foaled March 26. Showcasing filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 5f winner Show Yourself and 6f winner Yabrave. Half-sister to four winners but she may be one for further down the line.
7th	2 7th (2) (66/1 -65%) Bramble Jelly	66 66/1(-65%)	(2) Bramble Jelly 66/1, Foaled February 16. €18,000 yearling, Soldier's Call filly. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 1¾m, also won over hurdles, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m I'm So Fancy. Trainer is having a good season with 2yos and the betting could guide on debut.
8th	11 8th (11) (6.5/1 -30%) Wren House	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(11) Wren House 6.5/1, Foaled March 5. Kingman filly. Sister to 1¼m winner Symbolic Power and half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Game And Set. Of obvious interest on debut. Has a useful pedigree; one of two newcomers for good yard; could go well.
9th	3 9th (3) (66/1 -65%) Call Me The Breeze	66 66/1(-65%)	(3) Call Me The Breeze 66/1, Once-raced filly. 12/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at Kempton (6f) on debut 15 days ago. Plenty to prove. May have needed her recent debut run at Kempton but a major step forward is needed.
10th	1 10th (1) (4/1 +56%) Blue Eyed Kate	4 4/1(+56%)	(1) Blue Eyed Kate 4/1, Once-raced filly. 16/1, fifth of 11 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good to firm) on debut 21 days ago. Likely to improve and shouldn't be completely ruled out. Promising fifth on debut at Haydock; open to improvement and could be involved.

LTO Selection:

Royal Elysian sets a decent standard and has an obvious chance stepping up a furlong in trip. However, she has looked far from straightforward in both starts to date and might be worth taking on with newcomer HOT FASHION. Closely related to the high-class Arabian Queen, she is certainly bred to have plenty of ability and her stable have been amongst the winners of late. Jockey bookings would suggest that Wren House is Andrew Balding's leading hope and any market support for her could well be worth noting.

HOT FASHION is in good hands and bred to be well above average, so a chance is taken on her to make a successful start at the expense of Royal Elysian who sets the standard of those with expereince. Wren House is another interesting newcomer.

Royal Elysian sets the standard having been second at Haydock on both runs but preference is for the well-bred newcomer HOT FASHION

Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 6f Fighter Pilot and 6f winner Jameerah, both useful. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 8.5f. Newcomer for successful yard. Churchill colt likely to improve for this but certainly respected from these quarters.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 +33%) Chief Little Rock	6 6/1(+33%)	(3) Chief Little Rock 6/1, Fourth foal, brother to smart 10.7f-2m winner Okita Soushi.

LTO Selection:

A good showing from Henry Adams in the Tyros Stakes would increase confidence behind SHIHOKU. Half a length separated the pair at Naas earlier this month and while the Michael O'Callaghan-trained selection ultimately had to settle for second, he did finish out his race well. Well fancied at the Tipper Road venue, the French-bred bay is upped in trip, which should help his cause. Aidan O'Brien, who trains Henry Adams, is represented by debutants Chief Little Rock and The Equator. Ryan Moore will be aboard the latter, who is out of dual Group 1 winner Quiet Reflection. An 85,000-euro yearling purchase, Juxtaposition is of definite interest on debut for Paddy Twomey, while the Joseph O'Brien-trained Alonzo is another newcomer who warrants respect. Instant Appeal and Gandolfo make some appeal too, with the latter catching the eye when a fast-finishing third at Killarney last week.

Lots of depth to this maiden with SHIHOKU just about the most persuasive option given he seems sure to build on the promise of his Naas run 3 weeks ago. Instant Appeal is expected to give it another good go, with The Equator just about the pick of a good-looking bunch of newcomers on paper.

Preference is for for SHIHOKU, narrowly beaten on his Naas debut at odds-on but with scope for improvement and the mile in his favour

Has shaped as if still in top form both outings since, running out of steam late on back at that venue 12 days ago. Return to 7f could be just the ticket from what clearly remains a handy mark. Won over 1m on soft at Ascot in May but arguably even better at 7f; considered.
2	1 2nd (1) (14/1 -17%) Able Kane	14 14/1(-17%)	(1) Able Kane 14/1, Bounced back to his best from an easing mark in a refitted tongue strap/blinkers when winning 6-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) in June, dictating. Nudged up 5 lb and not in quite the same form at York (7f) since and he's yet to defy a mark this high. Made all over 7f on good to soft in June; only fourth since but capable of bouncing back.
3	10 3rd (10) (3.33/1 -11%) Ramiro	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(10) Ramiro 3.33/1, 7-y-o who has been back in the groove from reduced mark of late, twice filling the runner-up spot prior to scoring from out of the weights at Ayr (6f) 10 days ago, quickening up well and having bit in hand. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and shortlisted. Out of weights when scoring over 6f last week and effectively 1lb lower under penalty.
4	7 4th (7) (14/1 -17%) Yantarni	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Yantarni 14/1, Off the mark for Charlie Appleby in 1m Newmarket handicap last summer but has yet to scale same heights for present connections, well held tackling 10f for the first time at Sandown 19 days ago. Mark is easing all the time but others make much more appeal. Cheekpieces back on. Not shaping like winner in waiting for new yard but mark coming down; win came on soft.
5th	5 5th (5) (5.5/1 +15%) Persuasion	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(5) Persuasion 5.5/1, Is a long time without a win but comes here in good order, needing no excuses when third of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (7f) 2 weeks ago, no extra only late on. No reason why he won't give another good account. Good in-frame efforts lately but it's 18 starts since his last win in April 2021.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/1 +0%) Helm Rock	7 7/1(+0%)	(2) Helm Rock 7/1, Registered 3 victories during second half of last year, the latest at Haydock (1m) in September. Has been holding his form well since his return, possibly doing a bit too much too soon when fourth of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (1m) 24 days ago. Not out of things from easing mark. Did too much too soon over 1m last month and treated as if still in form.
7th	8 7th (8) (5.5/1 +0%) Waiting All Night	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(8) Waiting All Night 5.5/1, Has drawn a blank since his debut win last May but he did post his best effort this season when running on for second at Newmarket (7f) 13 days ago (Persuasion placed third). Of interest as sole 3-y-o in this line up. Two very good placed efforts over 7f in recent weeks; bold show likely.
8th	6 8th (6) (20/1 -25%) Zero Carbon	20 20/1(-25%)	(6) Zero Carbon 20/1, Returned to more prominent tactics/eased in class, turned in best effort of the season when successful at Kempton (7f) last month, staying on to lead close home. Latest run at Epsom has to go down as disappointing however and bounce back called for. Back to best to win on AW in June and perhaps Epsom didn't suit since as he acts on turf.
9th	3 9th (3) (28/1 -155%) Adeb	28 28/1(-155%)	(3) Adeb 28/1, Missed whole of last year but making up for lost time, gaining third success of 2023 at Newcastle (7f) 26 days ago, leading close home. Only 3 lb higher now if he can replicate that form back on turf. Needs to prove he can translate good Tapeta form to turf but he did win on grass in 2021.
10th	9 10th (9) (16/1 +36%) Alpine Sierra	16 16/1(+36%)	(9) Alpine Sierra 16/1, Successful on return/yard debut (following wind op) at Ayr (1m) in June. Respectable efforts next 2 starts but not at very best when fifth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f) from the front 12 days ago. This looks tougher again. Front-runs; second at Ayr this month but only fifth at Hamilton since; down in trip.

LTO Selection:

Ramiro delivered on a couple of promising efforts when he landed a 6f handicap at Ayr 10 days ago and can go well. However, a chance is taken on ADEB, whose recent Newcastle success reads well and he may be progressive enough to cope with a 3lb higher mark back on turf. Helm Rock completes the shortlist, along with Persuasion and Waiting All Night.

RAMIRO has got firmly back on track of late, confirming the promise of a pair of runner-up efforts when striking fast and late to score at Ayr (6f) 10 days ago. The return to this trip will hold no fears and he gets the nod to come out on top again. Waiting All Night, Farhh To Shy and Helm Rock head up the dangers.

Ramiro has an obvious chance but last week's 6f Ayr race fell just right and he's opposed with WAITING ALL NIGHT.

Three chase wins; armed with lower hurdle mark and twice placed in this discipline.

LTO Selection:

C'EST QUELQU'UN ran well behind a subsequent easy winner on debut for Gordon Elliott recently and is suited by soft ground. Ex-French, he was beaten 25 lengths by subsequent Kerry National winner Busselton on career debut in 2020 - with one State Man finishing second, and while his form is in-and-out, his debut for Elliott was encouraging with the Downpatrick winner now being rated 120. Winnie Woodnutt is in-form and herself finished third to a subsequent winner at Downpatrick recently. A three-time point-to-point winner, she is holding her consistent form in chases and hurdles but would prefer a sound surface. Inchidaly Copper is another three-time points winner who is suited by this distance but would prefer good ground and is absent for 411 days. Tango Theatre is a 16-race maiden but has been running well while 11-race maiden Galmar is also in-form.

Gordon Elliott's C'EST QUELQU'UN looks the way to go here on the back of his excellent Downpatrick second on his yard debut with the promise of more to come now. In-form Tango Theatre is still to get her head in front but is second on the list with Galmar and Winnie Woodnutt two more to consider in an open handicap.

Gordon Elliott has live chances in both divisions as C'EST QUELQU'UN has to be of strong interest after his good first run for the yard

1	6 1st (6) (2.5/1 +17%) Zoukster	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(6) Zoukster 2.5/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Goodwood in June. 10/3, respectable second of 9 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good) 41 days ago. Not taken lightly despite 6 lb rise. Has climbed the weights but this progressive 3yo could still have more to offer.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.75/1 +42%) Be Prepared	1.75 1.75/1(+42%)	(1) Be Prepared 1.75/1, 12/1, improved on recent efforts to cosily win 9-runner handicap at Epsom (7f, good) 22 days ago. Up 4 lb but runner-up has gone in since so he holds leading claims. Made virtually all to win at Epsom three weeks ago and holds strong claims.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +43%) The Spotlight Kid	4 4/1(+43%)	(3) The Spotlight Kid 4/1, 8/1, below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 6 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Won two in a row at Yarmouth last autumn but not at the same level this year.
4	9 4th (9) (12/1 -60%) Ticket To Alaska	12 12/1(-60%)	(9) Ticket To Alaska 12/1, 4/1, sixth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. Cheekpieces on 1st time and needs considering. No threat this summer but in good form in the spring and cheekpieces may give him a boost.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/1 -29%) Wadi Bani	9 9/1(-29%)	(7) Wadi Bani 9/1, 9/4, below-par fourth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, soft) 6 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Made it 0-12 when below par at Nottingham last Friday but was running well previously.
6th	8 6th (8) (33/1 -175%) Native Beach	33 33/1(-175%)	(8) Native Beach 33/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in April. 9/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 28 days ago, slowly away. Has work to do. Won AW maiden in April but hasn't shone on his first two turf outings the last twice.
7th	4 7th (4) (12/1 -33%) Wizarding	12 12/1(-33%)	(4) Wizarding 12/1, 85/40 and tongue strap on for 1st time, below-par sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time now. Lightly raced 4yo who is on a handy mark but hasn't really shone on his last two starts.
8th	5 8th (5) (50/1 -52%) Revisit	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Revisit 50/1, Lightly-raced winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) 33 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time with more needed. Very lightly raced 3yo but twice well beaten last month following an absence.

LTO Selection:

BE PREPARED arrives in great form, backing up a narrow Brighton defeat with a comfortable success at Epsom, and a further 4lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to anchor him. Given he was once rated 20lb higher than his current mark, he still looks very dangerous now that he has got his form back. Zoukster is less exposed and merits respect, although the handicapper may be catching up with him. Wizarding may get involved if first-time cheekpieces work some magic.

BE PREPARED scored in good style at Epsom and with that form working out well he is taken to follow up off a 4 lb higher mark. Zoukster is enjoying a good season and feared most ahead of Ticket To Alaska, who wasn't seen to best effect when sixth at Lingfield.

The progressive 3yo ZOUKSTER could still have more to offer and he gets the nod ahead of the in-form Be Prepared.

Ought to go close. Flew home at the Curragh over this trip when unlucky in running; big chance now.

4	4 4th (4) (3.33/1 +33%) Fort Vega	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(4) Fort Vega 3.33/1, Maiden/handicap winner in May. Twenty-first of 29 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm, 14/1) 35 days ago, though was left poorly placed given how the race unfolded. Player down in class. Ascot ground possibly too quick; back from a break and could have more to offer.
5th	6 5th (6) (33/1 -136%) Pandora Lovegood	33 33/1(-136%)	(6) Pandora Lovegood 33/1, 10½ lengths last of 10 to Basil Martini in Weld Park Stakes (11/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft), too free. Up in trip for reappearance. Belated seasonal return here with ground now in her favour.
6th	2 6th (2) (16/1 +43%) Drummin Life	16 16/1(+43%)	(2) Drummin Life 16/1, 12/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, good) 33 days ago. Looks too high in the weights. Well held in Ulster Oaks; headgear now left off and ground in her favour.

LTO Selection:

Another competitive affair, with SAVE YOUR LOVE the suggestion. Out of dual Listed victor My Renee, she is a half-sister to prolific winner Banimpire, who went down by just a short head in the 2011 Irish Oaks. Successful at Gowran in May, the selection had no luck in running at the Curragh on Derby weekend, finishing fourth in the race won by The Franchise. The tongue strap which was fitted for the first time at the Curragh remains in place now, and it will be disappointing if she is not involved towards the business end. Carracci was beaten just a length in the Nasrullah over C&D, and it will come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better. Fort Vega disappointed at Royal Ascot but is capable of making his presence felt, while it will be interesting to see how Tough Talk fares, stepping up in trip. Encosta is sure to have plenty of supporters with Colin Keane aboard, while Pandora Lovegood, who won twice last season, can't be ruled out on her return.

Not all of these are certain to stay this far, but CARRACCI Has no fears in that department and he seems sure to give a very bold showing on the back of an excellent runner-up effort over C&D. Save Your Love and Fort Vega were both better than the result last time and are feared most.

Preference is for SAVE YOUR LOVE, who got into all sorts of trouble before flying home at the Curragh over this trip

Up 3 lb but that form has been franked so needs considering. Good start for Michael Dods, winning at Ayr last time; that form boosted; bold show likely.

LTO Selection:

Good Earth is in flying form but another 5lb after his Newmarket success puts him on a career-high mark. With that in mind, COUNT D'ORSAY looks the way to go, given that he has won each of his last two outings with something in hand and, off just 4lb higher than at Chester last time, he looks a live contender. Sir Titus and Mokaatil are others with place claims.

COUNT D'ORSAY comes here on a roll so is fancied to defy a 4 lb rise and complete a quick hat-trick at the chief expense of recent Newmarket scorer Good Earth who rates a big danger. In-form pair Sir Titus and Stone Circle are both weighted to have a say too in a competitive sprint.

Having gone nearly three years without a win it's possible the revitalised COUNT D'ORSAY will now gain a third inside a month.

LTO Selection:

DANCING JEREMY likes today's likely soft ground and reverts to handicaps company having run ok in a recent smart race at Cork. His best form is over slightly shorter distances but ran well over this distance against higher-rated horses at Cork and had also run well in May. In-form Meehall is ground-versatile, stays well and should get involved reverting to hurdles. The Abbey is well handicapped on his good recent chase form and is rated 17lb lower in this sphere but soft ground would be concerning. Similarly Hand Over Fist's good recent efforts have been on good ground although her French-bred dam's side has soft-ground form. Sean Og's form is also on good ground while Smallcraftwarning, by Gale Force Ten, could also be scuppered by rain. Movie King is declared to run on Tuesday.

THE ABBEY is into the veteran stage of his career but a very good case can be made for him from this hurdles mark given his chase form during the spring so he looks the way to go. Hand Over Fist took a big step forward when successful at Bellewstown and is an obvious threat, along with Sean Og.

This looks very open. A chance is taken on MEEHALL, who has been running well over fences and he'll love the ground.

Others more persuasive from 2 lb out of the weights. Made it 0-12 when below par at Wetherby latest but running really well previously.

LTO Selection:

A C&D winner last October when holding off the reopposing Russian Rumour (second), TIN FANDANGO has been running into form of late and his most recent effort at Chepstow, when narrowly denied, was very encouraging. Tarbat Ness had been running consistently well before a disappointing effort at Wetherby and he must be one of the chief threats, as well as Cinnodin, who could easily improve for the rise in distance.

CINNODIN has progressed nicely in 3-y-o handicaps this year, winning 3 times in all, and now taking on his elders for the first time up in trip, he has a lot in his favour. Tin Fandango and Russian Rumour are just a couple of potential threats.

The 3yo CINNODIN (nap) has done very well over 1m4f and 1m6f this year and this first crack at 2m can prompt further improvement.

19:52 Leopardstown Stakes 13f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (1/1 +60%) Waltham	1 1/1(+60%)	(1) Waltham 1/1, Bred to be useful and justified position at the head of the market when making winning debut in 12-runner C&D maiden 5 weeks ago, produced to lead entering final 1f and keeping on well. One to follow on that evidence. Impressive C&D maiden winner last month looks a stakes performer in the making; big shout.
2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 +38%) Picture Of A City	4 4/1(+38%)	(6) Picture Of A City 4/1, Fairly useful colt. Winner at Down Royal in June. Very good second of 7 in handicap at Roscommon (10f, good to soft, 11/8) 23 days ago, pulling clear with a similarly progressive sort. Not out of things back up in trip. Nicely progressive; yet to prove himself over this far but definite player if staying.
3	8 3rd (8) (7/1 -100%) Rapparee Champ	7 7/1(-100%)	(8) Rapparee Champ 7/1, Highly promising sort. Confirmed promise of his Sligo debut effort when winning 12-runner maiden (4/5) at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 41 days ago, finding plenty to lead close home. Very much the type to do better still and he's one to keep onside. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Shaped like a stayer at Fairyhouse; cheekpieces fitted and likely more to come.
4	3 4th (3) (5/1 +38%) Esquiline	5 5/1(+38%)	(3) Esquiline 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Evens and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 14-runner maiden at Bellewstown (12.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago, leading 2f out and driven clear. Building up a solid record but this demands more. Bellewstown maiden deserved after two narrow defeats; good chance she has more to offer.
5th	4 5th (4) (22/1 -38%) Mr Lincoln	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Mr Lincoln 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Cork (1m) in April. Third of 5 in minor event (15/2) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Yard in good form. Others more persuasive. Ran to format Killarney but not sure this extended trip is what he wants.
6th	2 6th (2) (8/1 +0%) Dutch Gold	8 8/1(+0%)	(2) Dutch Gold 8/1, Fairly useful colt. Winner at Down Royal in June. 15/8, fifth of 7 in minor event at Navan (10f, soft) 12 days ago, heavily eased down when reins snapped early. Better showing anticipated and he's unexposed at this sort of trip. Reins broke latest so best ignored; steps up in trip.
7th	7 7th (7) (80/1 -300%) Duke Of Leggagh	80 80/1(-300%)	(7) Duke Of Leggagh 80/1, Fairly useful gelding. Latest win at Navan in March. Fifth of 6 in minor event at Naas (10f, good, 6/1) 82 days ago. Up in trip. Back from a break with ground to suit but stamina concerns on first try at this trip.

LTO Selection:

An interesting contest, with Waltham the standout name after his impressive win over C&D last month. He is highly regarded by connections, but it's hardly ideal that he has to give weight away to all of his rivals. Dutch Gold impressed on his penultimate start and can be forgiven his most recent effort at Navan after his reins snapped early on. Rapparee Champ snatched victory from the jaws of defeat at Fairyhouse and is open to further progress in first-time cheekpieces. It might still be worth siding with CAPE BRIDGEWATER, who clearly appreciated the step up in trip when making virtually all at Tipperary in May and it will come as no surprise if he manages to follow up. Esquiline appears the best of the remainder but it looks a tough ask for her as the only filly in the field.

Despite still looking a work-in-progress, RAPPAREE CHAMP marked himself down as one to follow when reeling in one boasting much greater experience in a Fairyhouse maiden (12f) 6 weeks ago and he can follow up in receipt of weight all round. Waltham, an impressive winner himself on debut, and Picture of A City are others fancied to be thereabouts.

Having looked a classy sort when making an impressive C&D debut last month WALTHAM can confirm that promise here

1	12 1st (12) (2.25/1 +44%) Alnilam	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(12) Alnilam 2.25/1, Lightly raced for Charlie Appleby and has started positively for current yard, improving to score with a bit in hand at Sandown last time. Open to further improvement and boasts leading claims. Won 1m6f Sandown handicap on good to firm last time; very much the unexposed one.
2	8 2nd (8) (14/1 +30%) Haliphon	14 14/1(+30%)	(8) Haliphon 14/1, Edging down the weights and hasn't been seen to best effect the last twice, poorly positioned at Ayr on latest. Could get involved if he's able to bounce back. Can't be dismissed having dropped to a good mark but others are more obvious.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 +17%) Rhythmic Intent	10 10/1(+17%)	(3) Rhythmic Intent 10/1, Useful handicapper who doesn't look the force of old and others make more appeal for all that he performed respectably at Ascot 12 days ago. On lowest mark for a while but recent efforts far from compelling.
4	7 4th (7) (9/1 -125%) The Thunderer	9 9/1(-125%)	(7) The Thunderer 9/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (7/2) at Chester (12.3f, good) 40 days ago, suited by way race developed. First run for yard after leaving Ollie Sangster. Makes plenty of appeal. Better than ever for Ollie Sangster lately; player if continuing good work for new yard.
5th	9 5th (9) (16/1 -88%) Furzig	16 16/1(-88%)	(9) Furzig 16/1, Capitalised on drop in weights when landing back-to-back Catterick handicaps (12f) last autumn. Back to form on return at York and looks a player. Won two on turf in October; still rated lower than on AW; encouraging reappearace at York.
6th	11 6th (11) (11/1 -22%) Kendancer	11 11/1(-22%)	(11) Kendancer 11/1, Fair dual-purpose performer who turned in best effort of the season when ninth at the Curragh last time. Worthy of respect with cheekpieces back on. Hard to get too excited by recent runs but anything from this yard needs a betting check.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 -13%) Onesmoothoperator	9 9/1(-13%)	(2) Onesmoothoperator 9/1, Hasn't won since 2021 but bit more encouragement recently, not seen to best effect when ninth of 13 at Haydock last time. Becoming well treated and can't be ignored. No win since December 2021; well held in Old Newton Cup latest and others more obvious.
8th	10 8th (10) (10/1 -25%) Cardano	10 10/1(-25%)	(10) Cardano 10/1, Useful handicapper for Ian Williams who stripped fitter for his return when runner-up at Windsor last time. Well handicapped and solid claims if he gets the longer trip. Not seen too often in recent years but latest second shows he retains ability for new yard.
9th	4 9th (4) (4.5/1 +55%) Matchless	4.5 4.5/1(+55%)	(4) Matchless 4.5/1, Won at Doncaster in May. Third at Pontefract on next Flat start but held in a stronger race at Newcastle since 1m4f winner in May; third next time and worth forgiving latest in Northumberland Plate.
10th	5 10th (5) (16/1 +0%) Sir Chauvelin	16 16/1(+0%)	(5) Sir Chauvelin 16/1, Ran well at Newcastle on penultimate run and effort best excused at Hamilton 12 days ago. On a fair mark and can't be completely discounted. Veteran who still retains plenty of ability and won off 2lb higher last year.
11th	1 11th (1) (16/1 +0%) Alright Sunshine	16 16/1(+0%)	(1) Alright Sunshine 16/1, Useful handicapper who wasn't disgraced when eight of 13 at Haydock on his final outing for Keith Dalgleish. Others look better treated, though. Well held in two strong handicaps this summer but this is easier on first run for new yard.

LTO Selection:

Slight preference is for ALNILAM, who has been a shrewd recruit to the in-form Milton Harris stable, and he must hold every chance of following up on a comfortable success at Sandown last month. Recently placed at York over shorter, Furzig looks the type to relish going up in trip, while The Thunderer arrives in excellent form as he makes his first start for new connections. Onesmoothoperator and Rhythmic Intent cannot be ruled out either.

ALNILAM benefited from the step up to this trip when scoring at Sandown last time and he's open to further progress, so he gets the nod over The Thunderer who was successful on the same day at Chester on his final outing for Ollie Sangster. Cardano is one of several others who make appeal.

There could be more to come from lightly raced Sandown winner ALNILAM so he's the suggestion.

1	12 1st (12) (0.62/1 +7%) Polly's Fortune	0.62 0.62/1(+7%)	(12) Polly's Fortune 0.62/1, Plenty of promise when runner-up on bumper debut here (2m) in October. Not at same level when fourth at Fairyhouse over Christmas but she represents top yard and no surprise to see a better showing back from 7 months off. Ran well here before disappointing at Fairyhouse; might be a stronger mare now.
2	5 2nd (5) (14/1 +58%) Rocco Boyo	14 14/1(+58%)	(5) Rocco Boyo 14/1, Shirocco gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (25f winner) Gritti Palace. Ninth of 15 in bumper (16/1) at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) on NH debut 58 days ago, weakening 2f out. This ought to reveal more. Prominent to a point before weakening right out of contention at Ballinrobe (good).
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +33%) Huntsgrove	5 5/1(+33%)	(4) Huntsgrove 5/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in bumper at the Curragh (16f, good, 25/1) on NH debut 50 days ago. Fourth of six at the Curragh but very mixed messages as to the strength of that form.
4	6 4th (6) (40/1 -21%) The Shantou King	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) The Shantou King 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourth of 12 in bumper at Killarney (17f, good, 150/1) 7 days ago, outpaced approaching straight and staying on again final 1f. Found improvement from somewhere to finish a close fourth at Killarney (good) last week.
5th	2 5th (2) (33/1 +18%) Champagne Dawn	33 33/1(+18%)	(2) Champagne Dawn 33/1, €18,000 3-y-o, Shantou gelding. Brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Scipion and fair hurdler Shantou Warrior, stays 2¾m. Pulled up sole start in points (Dec 2022). Sent off one of the favourites for his point debut but dropped out and was pulled up.
6th	10 6th (10) (33/1 +34%) Mount Shenshan	33 33/1(+34%)	(10) Mount Shenshan 33/1, Shantou mare. Sister to dual bumper winner up to 2½m Eilise's A Lady and bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Sporting Ace. Wears tongue strap. Unplaced completed start in points, pulled up last time (Mar 5). Showed a bit in her first point but was pulled up in the second.
7th	3 7th (3) (4.5/1 -50%) Fathom Two	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(3) Fathom Two 4.5/1, Court Cave gelding who ran best race to date when second of 9 in bumper at Downpatrick (18.8f) 2 weeks ago, keeping on and headed on line. Should be thereabouts again with a repeat. Edged out by a 150-1 chance at Downpatrick and doubt it was that strong a race.
8th	7 8th (7) (11/1 +61%) Wolfhill	11 11/1(+61%)	(7) Wolfhill 11/1, Jet Away gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Rock Road and fairly useful hurdler Sweet Sting. May be one for longer trips further down the line. Related to plenty of winners but will probably want a trip in time.
9th	1 9th (1) (80/1 -21%) Bebbinberg	80 80/1(-21%)	(1) Bebbinberg 80/1, Sageburg gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Paddys Planet, stays 3m. Dam (c131/h109) hurdle/chase winner around 2m. Refused to race on point debut, pulled up next time (Dec 2022). Refused to race in his first point and was always out the back in his second; no appeal.
10th	11 10th (11) (100/1 -52%) Mountain Fame	100 100/1(-52%)	(11) Mountain Fame 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1, eighth of 15 in bumper at Punchestown (16.2f, good) on NH debut 47 days ago. Passed over here. Tailed off at odds of 100-1 at Punchestown in June; best watched for now.
11th	8 11th (8) (40/1 -60%) French Milan	40 40/1(-60%)	(8) French Milan 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, sixth of 11 in bumper at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 17 days ago. Step up in trip should suit on that evidence. 22-1 and finished midfield on yielding ground at Roscommon, showing some ability.

LTO Selection:

HUNTSGROVE has a nice pedigree and showed promise on debut in a Curragh winners' bumper. The runner-up and sixth-placed horses have both won subsequently and while he runs over a longer distance and is likely to encounter more testing conditions, today's race is a lesser contest. Polly's Fortune ran well here last October and while she hung left when a disappointing favourite on testing ground at Fairyhouse in December, her form is nothing special and might possibly prefer a sound surface. Fathom Two has winning point-to-point form on soft and runner-up in an ordinary Downpatrick bumper, is race-fit and reliable. Wolfhill is a notable newcomer being out of a Grade 2-winning mare who has already produced three winners. The Shantou King showed improved form at Killarney while Isolde's Voice has a fine flat pedigree but debuts aged seven.

POLLY'S FORTUNE offered definite signs of promise on the first of 2 starts in bumpers during the second half of last year and, back from an absence, she's fancied to come out on top for her leading yard. Fathom Two rates the chief threat on the back of his good second at Downpatrick. Huntsgrove and The Shantou King can do battle for a minor role.

This doesn't look a strong bumper at all and POLLY'S FORTUNE is the most likely winner in the hope there's more to come from her.

2	4 2nd (4) (3.2/1 -16%) Ranger Thunderbolt	3.2 3.2/1(-16%)	(4) Ranger Thunderbolt 3.2/1, Left his 2-y-o form on the AW well behind when winning 12-runner handicap at this course (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago, keeping on well. Back up in trip and 2 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Won over 1m here on handicap debut and he's respected now back up in trip.
3	9 3rd (9) (3.33/1 +33%) Lunar Landscape	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(9) Lunar Landscape 3.33/1, Finished with running left when 1¾ lengths fourth of 12 to Ranger Thunderbolt in handicap (5/1) at this course (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago.

Up in trip and she's not yet exposed for a successful yard. Down the field on handicap debut but this step up in trip may suit if she can bounce back.
7th	6 7th (6) (33/1 +0%) Mirabello Bay	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Mirabello Bay 33/1, Added to AW tally at Wolverhampton in March. Confirmed he's as effective on turf last month but took a backward step at Windsor last month. Won two in a row on AW in March but hasn't been in the same form on turf since.
8th	10 8th (10) (3.5/1 +53%) Chester Tonik	3.5 3.5/1(+53%)	(10) Chester Tonik 3.5/1, Quirky but got it right at the third attempt for this yard in 12-runner handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to soft, 11/2) 84 days ago. Overall profile more of an issue than revised mark. Won at Salisbury in May last time out and could be thereabouts if in same form after break.
9th	1 9th (1) (18/1 +36%) Finn Russell	18 18/1(+36%)	(1) Finn Russell 18/1, Low-key start for this yard, again too free when eighth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive. Showed promise last year but well beaten at big odds this summer on both runs for new yard.

LTO Selection:

RANGER THUNDERBOLT was a revelation on his handicap debut here earlier in the month and the step back up in trip could eke out further improvement as he looks to follow up off a 2lb higher mark. Expert Witness improved for going up in trip when not beaten far at Leicester a month ago and she must enter calculations, along with Chester Tonik and Lunar Landscape.

EXPERT WITNESS stuck to her task really well when third at Leicester a month ago and, unexposed over this trip, she seems sure to give it a good go. There's depth to this race though, with Ranger Thunderbolt and Lunar Landscape, first and fourth respectively in a 1m handicap here recently, a couple of potential threats.

Having finished powerfully for fourth over 1m here three weeks ago, LUNAR LANDSCAPE could be the one to be on now up in trip.

Creditable sixth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (11.2f, good, 10/3) 8 days ago, finishing with running left. Significantly back up in trip and she could be worth chancing. Maiden in good form lately; unproven over this trip but likely to go close if she can stay.
2	11 2nd (11) (5.5/1 +50%) Red Vermillion	5.5 5.5/1(+50%)	(11) Red Vermillion 5.5/1, Comfortable winner at Navan (13f, soft) in May. Creditable seventh of 15 in handicap (12/1) at Killarney (14.1f, good) 8 days ago, plugging on. Present mark demands more on balance. Up 7lb for winning at Navan in May and not beaten far last thrice; each-way chance.

7th	4 7th (4) (11/1 -57%) Elzaamsan	11 11/1(-57%)	(4) Elzaamsan 11/1, Eleventh of 17 in maiden (40/1) at this C&D (good) 35 days ago, pushed along over 2f out and making no impression. Blinkers/tongue tie now the headgear of choice and the betting could well prove a useful guide. Tongue-tie and blinkers tried here and not dismissed with the stable in form.
8th	12 8th (12) (10/1 +70%) Portville	10 10/1(+70%)	(12) Portville 10/1, Modest maiden on Flat for Kieran Patrick Cotter and similar form in trio of juvenile maiden hurdles for present yard around the turn of the year. Unexposed granted this sort of test back on the level so worth noting if the market speaks in her favour back from 6 months off.

9th	6 9th (6) (12/1 +40%) Firm Belief	12 12/1(+40%)	(6) Firm Belief 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (12.6f, good, 22/1) 22 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Booking of McMonagle a plus. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Step up in trip is likely to suit and cheekpieces added; could get into the shake-up.

Moore when ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, heavy) in April, hampered early and always behind. This ought to reveal more back from 4 months off. Tailed off in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle on her stable debut in April.
11th	14 11th (14) (33/1 +50%) Jazzy Rock	33 33/1(+50%)	(14) Jazzy Rock 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Well-beaten thirteenth of 16 to Oranmore in handicap (28/1) at Bellewstown (14.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago. No show in maidens and soundly beaten behind Oranmore at Bellewstown; makes little appeal.
12th	7 12th (7) (10/1 +9%) Annecherie	10 10/1(+9%)	(7) Annecherie 10/1, Dual 2m winner on AW who was strictly operating below best in trio of starts at Dundalk earlier this year. Has slipped to a potentially lenient mark back from 4 months off but she's yet to get her head in front on turf. Not seen since down the field behind Mephisto at Dundalk in March; others preferred.
13th	10 13th (10) (33/1 -18%) Jukebox Jive	33 33/1(-18%)	(10) Jukebox Jive 33/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2019. 12/1, sixth of 14 in claiming hurdle at Clonmel (18.5f, heavy) 128 days ago. Returns to the level with a good deal to prove. Well below that level now on the Flat and over hurdles and others far more likely.
14th	2 14th (2) (28/1 -180%) Moon Over Claddagh	28 28/1(-180%)	(2) Moon Over Claddagh 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 16 days ago, never better than midfield but again noted keeping on gradually. Increase in trip could well help now attentions switch to handicaps and he's one to note. Looks fairly handicapped on what he has done to date and not without a chance.

LTO Selection:

A never-nearer third behind Sea Oscar over C&D last month, ORANMORE since made the breakthrough at Bellewstown and the Luke Comer-trained seven-year-old might be able to follow up. He went up 10lb for that success, but still looks relatively well treated on a mark of 66. A beaten favourite on two of his last three starts, Barometer is given second preference. Third behind the progressive Londonofficecallin at Killarney last week, it will come as no surprise if he manages to go two places better. A three-time winner, Red Vermillion was seventh in that Killarney contest and is capable of making her presence felt. The Henry de Bromhead-trained Moon Over Claddagh is of definite interest on his handicap debut, with Abraham, Mephisto, Elzaamsan and Folly Beach other leading hopes.

FOLLY BEACH remains a maiden but she very much caught the eye without being seen to best effect at Killarney 8 days ago and, with the step back up in trip rating a likely plus, she could be worth chancing with her rider taking off a handy 7 lb. Bellewstown winner Oranmore, Barometer and handicap debutant Moon Over Claddagh are a trio of others to consider.

20:30 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 2) 10f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (5.5/1 +8%) Cumulonimbus	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(3) Cumulonimbus 5.5/1, C&D winner last term and has won 2 of his 4 starts this season, latest at Haydock (11.8f) last month. Ran just as well when third of 13 over same C&D latest and ought to give another good account here, Progressive, winning four since last autumn; good third in Old Newton Cup latest; player.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 +17%) Eagle's Way	5 5/1(+17%)	(2) Eagle's Way 5/1, Progressed well last term, winning all of his 4 starts, culminating with decisive success in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good) in September. Not seen since, but is in good hands and it's likely we haven't seen the best of him yet. 4-4 in handicaps over this trip last year and it's likely there's more to come.
3	9 3rd (9) (8/1 +20%) Regal Empire	8 8/1(+20%)	(9) Regal Empire 8/1, Dual winner (at up to 11.1f) at Southwell last winter and acquitted himself well on turf more recently, latest when third of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good) 27 days ago. Not out of things, Useful 3yo but beaten 4l by Like A Tiger when they clashed at Newmarket in the spring.
4	4 4th (4) (11/1 +0%) Andaleep	11 11/1(+0%)	(4) Andaleep 11/1, Winner of 5 handicaps last season and took form up a further notch when a decisive winner at York (10.2f, good) earlier this month. 8 lb higher now but not taken lightly. Sixth win since joining this yard last summer when storming clear at York latest; up 8lb.
5th	8 5th (8) (2.25/1 +36%) Like A Tiger	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(8) Like A Tiger 2.25/1, Looked on the up when resuming with Newmarket handicap win over this trip in April. Beat only one in Listed race there next time but remains low mileage and better expected back in grade here. Not up to Listed company latest but striking winner of handicap prior to that; big player.
6th	1 6th (1) (14/1 +13%) Certain Lad	14 14/1(+13%)	(1) Certain Lad 14/1, Just about a career best when landing the Group 3 Strensall Stakes at York in 2020. Missed all of the following year and pretty lightly raced since, failing to add to his tally. Looks up against it off top weight. Smart at peak; well held last twice but was placed off 4lb higher at Chester prior to that.
7th	7 7th (7) (25/1 -108%) Baryshnikov	25 25/1(-108%)	(7) Baryshnikov 25/1, Not scored since spring of last year and has been given a chance by the handicapper (2 lb below last winning mark) but no real encouragement taken from recent efforts. Useful and consistent but often starts slowly and needs things to drop right.
8th	5 8th (5) (10/1 -25%) Old Port	10 10/1(-25%)	(5) Old Port 10/1, Six wins from 18 Flat runs. Stepped up on yard debut effort when creditable sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) 25 days ago, badly hampered. Warrants respect. Not at best in two runs for Charles Byrnes but a market move could still prove significant.
9th	6 9th (6) (50/1 -79%) Dark Pine	50 50/1(-79%)	(6) Dark Pine 50/1, Turned in his best effort of the season at Chester in May but hasn't really built on that and makes limited appeal. Went close at Chester in May but below best twice since; bounce back needed.
10th	12 10th (12) (11/1 +8%) Aqwaam	11 11/1(+8%)	(12) Aqwaam 11/1, Won a heavy-ground handicap at Galway last summer and back to that sort of form when second of 10 to Bringbackmemories at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm, 3/1) 33 days ago. However, 3 lb out of the weights in a much deeper contest now. Consistent in defeat this year but 3lb out of weights; will likely find a few too strong.
11th	11 11th (11) (7.5/1 +6%) Elzaam Blue	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(11) Elzaam Blue 7.5/1, Matched pick of his Irish form, on debut for Jamie Osborne, when winning 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (8f, firm) 20 days ago, keeping on well. This is tougher but he must enter calculations. 1 lb out of the weights. Won a 1m Doncaster Class 5 on yard debut but more needed to follow up in a higher grade.

LTO Selection:

CUMULONIMBUS went well for a long way in the Old Newton Cup before being worn down and dropping to third late on, but it could be that dropping back in trip may see him at his very best on this occasion. The four-year-old is narrowly preferred to comfortable York winner Andaleep and Eagle's Way, who arrives on a five-timer. Like A Tiger is another to consider based on the form of an impressive success at Newmarket on his penultimate outing.

LIKE A TIGER disappointed when upped to listed grade last time but remains with potential and gets the nod in a highly competitive finale. Eagle's Way is much respected, despite his 10-month absence, whilst York-winner Andaleep is also a big player.

A good finale. LIKE A TIGER (nap) should get his ground and this Group-entered colt can show he's a 3yo still very much on the up.

20:45 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +56%) Stonking	4 4/1(+56%)	(3) Stonking 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at this course (13.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago, losing place 2f out and not quicken. Drops back in trip now and it remains early days with him. Lightly raced 4yo; second on handicap debut last month but only fifth here last time.
2	7 2nd (7) (2.5/1 +44%) Daphne May	2.5 2.5/1(+44%)	(7) Daphne May 2.5/1, Successful on AW earlier this year and scored twice on turf subsequently, coming from a long way back for the latest of them at Epsom (12f) 3 weeks ago. Had little racing at this trip but 5 lb higher mark demands more up in class. Won over 1m4f at Epsom three weeks ago and could have more to offer at this trip.
3	8 3rd (8) (3.5/1 +61%) Imperial Cult	3.5 3.5/1(+61%)	(8) Imperial Cult 3.5/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Sandown (8f, good) 20 days ago, leading until 3f out and not quicken over 1f out. Already proven her effectiveness over this sort of trip and no surprise to see a better showing. Two good runs over 1m4f/1m3f and the drop back to 1m may not have suited at Sandown.
4	11 4th (11) (6.5/1 +64%) Das Kapital	6.5 6.5/1(+64%)	(11) Das Kapital 6.5/1, Unreliable type. 10/3, last of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (14f) 49 days ago, struggling when hanging left over 1f out. Return to this shorter trip will help back on turf. Form has dipped the last twice but he could leave those behind when back on slow turf.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 -10%) Silverscape	11 11/1(-10%)	(5) Silverscape 11/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 7 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 15 days ago (following wind op), pushed along 3f out and plugging on. Eased further in weights ahead of this but he's hard to catch right. Step back in right direction at Kempton last time and he might not be far away.
6th	1 6th (1) (7/1 +22%) Sagauteur	7 7/1(+22%)	(1) Sagauteur 7/1, Solid return for new yard when third at Newcastle (10.2f) in June and similar form despite taking a strong hold when midfield in 13-runner York handicap (10.2f) 2 weeks ago. On a workable mark on balance and he's not had many tries at this sort of trip. Interesting. Two fair efforts for new yard this summer and drops back in grade here; not ruled out.
7th	10 7th (10) (8/1 +11%) Alchemystique	8 8/1(+11%)	(10) Alchemystique 8/1, Flat/hurdles winner who needed a little cajoling at times but ran up to best when second of 8 in handicap at Chester (12.3f) 12 days ago, steady headway from 2f out and nearest at the finish. Each-way claims if replicating that here. Went close at Chester recently & slow ground would probably aid this strong stayer's cause.
8th	4 8th (4) (66/1 -100%) Alghazaal	66 66/1(-100%)	(4) Alghazaal 66/1, Pretty useful at best on Flat earlier in career but established as modest over hurdles/fences more recently for Charlie Longsdon. Not the easiest to weigh up returning to the level for new yard. Chase winner in May but well beaten over jumps on next three starts; makes stable debut.

LTO Selection:

This can go the way of TYPICAL WOMAN, who deservedly got back to winning ways when scoring comfortably over an extended 1m3f at Haydock last time out. The four-year-old ran well over course and distance in May as well and she should have too much for the recent Epsom winner Daphne May. Alchemystique and Silverscape are also entitled to be thereabouts.

A dual winner from higher marks last term, SAGAUTEUR has made a solid start for Rebecca Menzies, keeping on for fifth in a stronger affair at York (10.2f) 2 weeks ago. Still lightly raced at this sort of trip, he could just be worth chancing to come out on top. Haydock scorer Typical Woman and Charlie Arthur are others to consider. Bookmark isn't out of things either.

The in-form filly TYPICAL WOMAN gained a deserved win at Haydock last time and is taken to follow up. Daphne May is feared.

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.
