12:55 Gowran Park Maiden 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	8 2nd (8) (7/1 +30%) Glamora	7 7/1(+30%)	(8) Glamora 7/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 11 in maiden (15/2) at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Beaten 6l on debut; similar level of form at Roscommon latest behind Basilah Bear.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +38%) Basilah Bear	5 5/1(+38%)	(7) Basilah Bear 5/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 11 in maiden at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft, 25/1) 25 days ago, not clear run. Low key debut but built on that run when 4th at Roscommon earlier this month; more needed.
4	17 4th (17) (4/1 +71%) Au Lait	4 4/1(+71%)	(17) Au Lait 4/1, Once-raced filly. 50/1, eighth of 11 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, good) on debut 21 days ago, running on. May well do better. RESERVE. Beaten 7l on debut but stuck to her task well and shaped like 7f would suit; reserve.
6th	10 6th (10) (33/1 +34%) Newfire	33 33/1(+34%)	(10) Newfire 33/1, Once-raced filly. Tenth of 11 in maiden (22/1) at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft) on debut 25 days ago. Well held 22-1 shot behind some of these at Roscommon on debut; others preferred.
7th	6 7th (6) (8/1 +20%) Pomeriggio	8 8/1(+20%)	(6) Pomeriggio 8/1, Once-raced filly. 10/1, seventh of 13 in maiden at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft) on debut 68 days ago. Only very minor promise on debut when beaten 7l; off since May and others preferred.
11th	5 11th (5) (14/1 +44%) Oiche Chiuin	14 14/1(+44%)	(5) Oiche Chiuin 14/1, Once-raced filly. Eleventh of 14 in maiden (28/1) at Leopardstown (7.3f, good) on debut 71 days ago, met some trouble. Trainer going well. Blinkers on 1st time. Looked in need of the experience when 28-1 for her debut at Leoaprdstown; blinkers on.
13th	16 13th (16) (4.5/1 -139%) Tartaraghan	4.5 4.5/1(-139%)	(16) Tartaraghan 4.5/1, Twice-raced filly. Second of 11 in maiden (12/1) at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Form pick. Beaten 1l latest and may have won without a mishap in closing stages; sets the standard.

LTO Selection:

TARTARAGHAN must hold strong claims of striking at the third time of asking provided her wide draw doesn't scupper her chances. The John McConnell-trained filly made a promising debut when sixth at Down Royal on her debut last month before showing considerable improvement when runner-up at Bellewstown recently. Like most of these, the daughter of Kessaar is unproven on ground this testing so that much has to be taken on trust. Basilah Bear finished in front of a couple of these when a staying on fourth at Roscommon earlier this month. David Marnane's Kodi Bear filly should be a serious contender on that form alone. Miss Alaska catches the eye amongst the unraced fillies in the line up. The Joseph O'Brien-trained juvenile has a couple of entries that suggest connections think a bit of her.

A weak maiden that can go to TARTARAGHAN, who clearly learnt a lot from her debut when runner-up at Bellewstown 23 days ago. Miss Alaska and Uluru are a couple of newcomers to note.

TARTARAGHAN improved plenty from her debut to finish 2nd latest and she may have won that without a stumble late on

12:55 Gowran Park Maiden 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:15 Ascot Maiden (Class 2) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (7.5/1 +17%) Indian Run	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(5) Indian Run 7.5/1, 75,000 gns yearling, Sioux Nation colt. Half-brother to 1½m winner Imaginative. 10/1, ran to a fair level first time up when third of 8 at Newbury (6f) 3 weeks ago, knowing what was required. Others here possibly open to more improvement. Nice debut at Newbury (third) and stable's winner of this last year was 8th first time out.
3	9 3rd (9) (10/1 -67%) North View	10 10/1(-67%)	(9) North View 10/1, Foaled May 13. 9,500 gns yearling, Expert Eye colt. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Fallen For You out of smart 7f-1m winner Fallen Star. Champagne Stakes entry. Twice withdrawn from intended engagements and was 28-1 on the first occasion (got loose).
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 +0%) Aljezur	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Aljezur 10/1, €68,000 2-y-o, Galileo Gold colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Khabib and 7f winner Threebars. Dam, 5f and (at 2 yrs) 6f winner, out of half-sister to very smart sprinter Snaefell. 22/1, promising start when second of 8 at Newbury (6f) on debut 3 weeks ago. Should improve. Defied market weakness and a slow start to chase home a decent prospect at Newbury.
5th	7 5th (7) (3/1 +0%) Kodiac Thriller	3 3/1(+0%)	(7) Kodiac Thriller 3/1, 85,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Dam, 8.6f winner who stayed 10.5f, half-sister to useful 6f/7f winner Abolish. 7/1, good start when second of 13 at Windsor (6f) a fortnight ago, finishing well under hand riding. Sure to improve and leading claims. Slowly away and green before making eyecatching late headway at Windsor; promising.
6th	11 6th (11) (3.5/1 +61%) Welcome Dream	3.5 3.5/1(+61%)	(11) Welcome Dream 3.5/1, Night of Thunder colt. Half-brother to winner up to 6.3f Amirat Alward, from a highly successful family for owners. Fared best of the newcomers and made a promising start when third of 12 in 6f Doncaster maiden 16 days ago, no extra only late on. Should improve. Positives to take from Doncaster third (6f, good), especially as he was weak in the market.
7th	8 7th (8) (16/1 +0%) Miami Heat	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Miami Heat 16/1, £125,000 2-y-o, Havana Grey colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to useful winner up to 9.4f Duchess of Foxland. Faced a stiff task against rivals with experience and proved green on debut at Pontefract (12/1) earlier this month. Open to improvement. Weak in the market at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) and finished last of the five runners.
8th	10 8th (10) (16/1 -33%) Timebar	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) Timebar 16/1, Foaled March 4. Time Test colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Rajar and 2-y-o 6f winner Ajrar. Dam 5f winner. Yard can ready one and he's certainly bred to come to hand this year. Time Test half-brother to seven winners and from a yard that has farmed this maiden.
9th	2 9th (2) (10/1 -54%) Appellant	10 10/1(-54%)	(2) Appellant 10/1, 70,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Dam, 6f winner, sister to very smart 7f-8.3f winner Penitent and useful 2-y-o 5f-6f winner Supplicant. Easy to back but made an encouraging start when second of 6 in 6f Ayr maiden 3 weeks ago, looking green behind experienced winner. Sure to progress. Shaped with considerable promise at Ayr and a Gimcrack entry heightens interest.

LTO Selection:

Eve Johnson Houghton landed this corresponding event 12 months ago with Buccabay and her INDIAN RUN is fancied to repeat the dose today. The Sioux Nation colt shaped with promise to make the frame on his debut at Newbury and natural improvement should bring him firmly into the reckoning. Welcome Dream is worth considering with Ryan Moore booked to ride, while Kodiac Thriller looks to be among the leading contenders too. Any market support for Fire Demon would have to make him of interest.

Some appealing newcomers on paper but KODIAC THRILLER made a promising start at Windsor a fortnight ago and can put his experience to good use with improvement on the cards. Appellant and Aljezur should both progress from encouraging debuts also, while Kingdom of Riches, a 220,000 gns Breeze-Up buy, is a debutant to keep an eye on.

This is often a strong maiden. KODIAC THRILLER has a Champagne entry and his Windsor debut was highly promising.

13:15 Ascot Maiden (Class 2) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:25 Gowran Park Handicap 7f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (5.5/1 +31%) Gosford	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(5) Gosford 5.5/1, Good seventh of 17 in handicap (12/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 17 days . wide entering the straight. Has a bigger performance in him. 0-6; career best came on h'cap debut over C&D and not beaten far last time.
2	11 2nd (11) (6/1 +8%) Designer Cailin	6 6/1(+8%)	(11) Designer Cailin 6/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fourth of 17 in handicap (8/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 17 days ago, never nearer. Not taken lightly. Both wins on AW; running well in defeat of late and best turf run came on testing ground.
3	15 3rd (15) (66/1 -32%) Engines On	66 66/1(-32%)	(15) Engines On 66/1, First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when eleventh of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft, 66/1) 23 days ago. Four-race maiden; well held 66-1 on yard/handicap debut earlier this month; best watched.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 -7%) Super Cub	8 8/1(-7%)	(3) Super Cub 8/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. 5/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Fancied to bounce back minus headgear. Losing run since a Ripon maiden win in 2021 for Roger Varian; best form on better ground.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 +38%) At Long Last	10 10/1(+38%)	(4) At Long Last 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 19 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 10/1) 21 days ago. Promise in 2 maidens on soft; not as effective on good twice since; return to 7f may help.
6th	16 6th (16) (66/1 -32%) Lightupthesky	66 66/1(-32%)	(16) Lightupthesky 66/1, First run since leaving Kevin Prendergast when ninth of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft, 33/1) 23 days ago. Poor form so far and no progress on yard debut last time; 1lb wrong.
7th	10 7th (10) (14/1 +0%) Kinda Tiny	14 14/1(+0%)	(10) Kinda Tiny 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good sixth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 40/1) 11 days ago. Beaten 6l here in a maiden but lesser efforts in three runs since incl' h'caps last twice.
8th	14 8th (14) (8/1 +20%) Redshore City	8 8/1(+20%)	(14) Redshore City 8/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 17/2) 11 days ago. 0-11; best form on AW but handles these conditions; revival needed.
9th	12 9th (12) (8.5/1 +47%) Hell Left Loose	8.5 8.5/1(+47%)	(12) Hell Left Loose 8.5/1, 7/1, below form eighth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft) 25 days though he may have needed that return to action. Last win came at Laytown but at least as effective on AW and on a good mark.
10th	7 10th (7) (20/1 +60%) He Knows When	20 20/1(+60%)	(7) He Knows When 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for first time, ninth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 22/1) 44 days ago. Can give a good account. Showed promise in an AW maiden back in February; well held twice since on turf though.
11th	13 11th (13) (50/1 -52%) Salt Whistle Bay	50 50/1(-52%)	(13) Salt Whistle Bay 50/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, last of 15 in handicap at Limerick (8f, good) 35 days ago. Only win since 2018 came in a claimer; struggling for form this season.
12th	6 12th (6) (7.5/1 -67%) The Fog Horn	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(6) The Fog Horn 7.5/1, Winner here in June. Bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f, 9/1) 17 days ago. Left previous form behind with 3l C&D success 2 starts ago; not as good on AW latest.
13th	9 13th (9) (4.5/1 +10%) Corballis Flyer	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(9) Corballis Flyer 4.5/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/3, good fifth of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 17 days ago. Course winner; long losing run but not beaten far in 3 runs this season; soft not ideal.
14th	1 14th (1) (10/1 -82%) Gegenpressing	10 10/1(-82%)	(1) Gegenpressing 10/1, Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Limerick (7f, good, 3/1) 35 days ago. Drops in class. Gained first win over this trip in September; running okay in defeat of late; tough draw.
15th	8 15th (8) (125/1 -213%) Jim's Cracker	125 125/1(-213%)	(8) Jim's Cracker 125/1, Thirteenth of 15 in handicap (40/1) at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Tough to assess at present. Promise for Karl Burke but has been well below that form in two runs for this yard.

LTO Selection:

THE FOG HORN, who had looked a progressive filly on turf either side of disappointing at Dundalk, can resume winning ways now returned to her favoured surface. The Seamus O'Donnell-trained three-year-old remains unexposed on grass after just six starts and the booking of Colin Keane catches the eye. Corballis Flyer has been running well of late, jumping smartly and making the running. The son of War Command was just touched off over a mile here on his penultimate start, so should appreciate stepping down a furlong now. Gegenpressing and Designer Cailin are a couple more to consider.

CORBALLIS FLYER failed to land a gamble at Fairyhouse last time but it was still a sound effort and he could be the answer to what is an open-looking handicap. Gegenpressing drops in class and is feared, along with Designer Cailin.

Preference is for AT LONG LAST who should appreciate the recent rain that arrived and may get back on track

13:25 Gowran Park Handicap 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:50 Ascot Group 3 (Class 1) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (16/1 -14%) Sacred Angel	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Sacred Angel 16/1, Foaled March 24. £52,000 yearling, Dark Angel filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Anotherfortheroad. Dam, 2-y-o 5f/6f winner, half-sister to useful 1m-11f winner Super Say. Shaped quite well from a wide stall at Pontefract and built on that when landing 10-runner maiden at Newmarket a fortnight ago. The workmanlike winner of a fillies' maiden at the July meeting; bred to stay well.
2	8 2nd (8) (4.5/1 -13%) Pretty Crystal	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(8) Pretty Crystal 4.5/1, Dubawi filly who made a winning start in 10-runner novice event at Ripon (6f) last month, despite not everything going her way (forced to switch 2f out). Shaped quite well when fifth in the Albany over this C&D and she has the scope to rate higher. Ripon winner who kept on for fifth in the Albany; her dam won a Group race on soft.
3	11 3rd (11) (3.5/1 +22%) Symbology	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(11) Symbology 3.5/1, £230,000 yearling, Havana Grey filly. Sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Katey Kontent, closely related to smart winner up to 7f El Caballo and half-sister to 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Avengers Queen. Bred to come to hand early and she looked good when landing 8-runner novice at York on debut 15 days ago. Only 2-1 when a comfortable winner at York; hard to know how good she might be.
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 +67%) Dazzling Star	3 3/1(+67%)	(2) Dazzling Star 3/1, Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Wakening and smart winner up to 1m Bold Act. Dam 1m winner. Too green to show much from a wide draw on debut at Kempton but clearly derived plenty from that when a smooth winner at Newmarket a month ago. Form is nothing special but there's more to come. Bolted up at Newmarket and a Lowther entry would suggest there's more to come from her.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 -87%) Komat	14 14/1(-87%)	(5) Komat 14/1, Made a winning debut at Redcar in April and has advanced her form in defeat since, sticking to her task well when sixth in the Albany over C&D last month. Lacks the scope of a few of these. Coped well with soft initially and came from well behind to be 6th here in the Albany.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/1 +31%) Cry Fiction	11 11/1(+31%)	(1) Cry Fiction 11/1, Made a winning debut over 6f at Windsor in May, knuckling down well to see off a more experienced rival. Pitched in deep and excelled herself when runner-up at Newmarket, no match for a smart rival. May yet have more to offer. No match for an easy winner at Newmarket but that's fairly strong form; not ruled out.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -25%) Gladly Ever After	25 25/1(-25%)	(4) Gladly Ever After 25/1, €32,000 2-y-o, Kodiac filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Cream of The Crop. Bred to be sharp and displayed plenty of zip when landing 5-runner maiden at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. Looked to be learning on the job and this a tough environment at this stage of her career. Won comfortably at Chepstow but beat nothing of note and this looks a tall order.
8th	7 8th (7) (7/1 +13%) Lunar Shine	7 7/1(+13%)	(7) Lunar Shine 7/1, 300,000 gns yearling, Kodiac filly. Half-sister to several winners, including high-class 1m-10.4f winner Anmaat and smart 7f-9f winner Syntax. Finished with a flourish when making a successful start at Thirsk (6f) last month. Sure to progress with stick test at this trip in her favour. Came from near last to first at Thirsk, looking decidedly useful; respected.
9th	6 9th (6) (33/1 +18%) La Guarida	33 33/1(+18%)	(6) La Guarida 33/1, Looked a good prospect when chasing home Jabaara in a traditionally-warm Newmarket contest on debut, then easily landed 6f Goodwood fillies' maiden a week later. Limitations rather exposed in better company since, however. Essentially disappointing given how smart she looked at Goodwood in May.
10th	3 10th (3) (10/1 +60%) Elinor Dashwood	10 10/1(+60%)	(3) Elinor Dashwood 10/1, 210,000 gns yearling who left her debut form trailing in her wake back at Haydock when landing 11-runner maiden over 6f 3 weeks ago. Needs to find another jolt of progress in this field. Just a narrow winner at Haydock and difficult to know how she'll cope with a rise in class.

LTO Selection:

SYMBOLOGY overcame her lack of experience when winning with something in hand on debut at York recently and the Clive Cox-trained filly may have enough improvement in her to succeed here at Group level. Pretty Crystal was far from disgraced when staying on into fifth in the Albany over C&D last month and also warrants consideration if a bit closer to the pace. Lunar Shine was another who triumphed on her opening bid with a victory at Thirsk in June and the daughter of Kodiac shouldn't be underestimated, despite this representing a steep rise in class.

With Soprano most unlikely to run having failed to justify favouritism at Sandown on Thursday, PRETTY CRYSTAL, who finished fifth in the Albany over C&D last month, is offered as the selection given she possesses plenty of scope. York novice winner Symbology is open to any amount of improvement so has to be feared, with Lunar Shine expected to relish this pretty stiff 6f.

A chance is taken on LUNAR SHINE, who made up a lot of ground to win as she liked at Thirsk and is bred to compete at this level.

13:55 Gowran Park Handicap 7f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (10/1 -82%) Golden Days	10 10/1(-82%)	(8) Golden Days 10/1, Returned to form when taking 17-runner handicap (13/2) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) earlier this month. 4 lb rise fair and should go well again. Winner at Fairyhouse earlier this month; best form on good but not ruled out.
2	5 2nd (5) (8/1 +33%) Trueba	8 8/1(+33%)	(5) Trueba 8/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 7/1, pulled up in handicap at Killarney (8.2f, good) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more appealing. Best run for this yard when beaten 2l at start of the month; on a good mark.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +67%) Zephron	4 4/1(+67%)	(3) Zephron 4/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Booking of Lee a plus. Chance if rediscovering old form. Losing run since 2021 and shown very little in three starts this year.
4	11 4th (11) (22/1 -10%) Lisabetta	22 22/1(-10%)	(11) Lisabetta 22/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.2f, good, 25/1) 10 days ago, not clear run. Needs a couple of these to falter. Sole turf win came over C&D back in 2021 on good; tends to struggle on softer ground.
5th	7 5th (7) (8/1 +6%) Manhattan Dandy	8 8/1(+6%)	(7) Manhattan Dandy 8/1, Finally off the mark when taking 15-runner handicap (12/1) at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago, always holding on. 5 lb higher now and remains to be seen if he can build on that. Won at 43rd attempt earlier this month and goes well with an ease; 5lb higher now.
6th	12 6th (12) (6.5/1 +46%) Rock Dandy	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(12) Rock Dandy 6.5/1, 2½ lengths fourth of 15 to Manhattan Dandy in handicap (8/1) at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Overall profile is off-putting, though. 0-9; best run for this yard when 4th earlier in the month; unproven on this ground.
7th	1 7th (1) (6/1 +14%) The Bog Bank	6 6/1(+14%)	(1) The Bog Bank 6/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (8f, 13/2) 17 days ago, suited by way race developed. 4 lb higher now but another bold bid anticipated. Has run well here before; won on AW last time; 4lb above highest winning mark now though.
8th	13 8th (13) (11/1 -22%) Snowdonia Song	11 11/1(-22%)	(13) Snowdonia Song 11/1, 4/1, 6¾ lengths tenth of 15 to Manhattan Dandy in handicap at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Trainer going well. Others more persuasive. Promising run on handicap debut here but hasn't built on that in 3 runs since; tough draw.
9th	4 9th (4) (7/1 -17%) Hope And Innocence	7 7/1(-17%)	(4) Hope And Innocence 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft, 6/1) 23 days ago. Stable in good form. Respected. Promise in maidens and only beaten 3l on h'cap bow latest; left on same mark; handles soft.
10th	2 10th (2) (18/1 +28%) Storm Eric	18 18/1(+28%)	(2) Storm Eric 18/1, Winner at Dundalk in April. Below form ninth of 15 in handicap (66/1) at Navan (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others preferred. Sole win came on AW; well below form in recent turf starts; has poor record on soft/heavy.
11th	14 11th (14) (25/1 -39%) Static Charge	25 25/1(-39%)	(14) Static Charge 25/1, 28/1, first run since leaving Joseph G. Murphy when fourteenth of 17 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes limited appeal. 0-14; looked in need of his return; handles conditions and not on a bad mark.
12th	16 12th (16) (125/1 -25%) Dreamingofdelaney	125 125/1(-25%)	(16) Dreamingofdelaney 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 13 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.1f, good to soft, 100/1) 22 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Poor form in maidens and tailed off on h'cap bow earlier in month; 7f may not suit.
13th	15 13th (15) (9/1 -64%) Miss Slovakia	9 9/1(-64%)	(15) Miss Slovakia 9/1, Promising individual who found improvement when second of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 17 days ago, running on. May have more to offer yet. Poor form in maidens but better form in good ground h'caps; can go well if handling soft.
14th	6 14th (6) (50/1 -317%) Flaming O'hara	50 50/1(-317%)	(6) Flaming O'hara 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in maiden (125/1) at Naas (8f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Yard having good spell. Visor on 1st time. May do better now sent handicapping. Minor promise on debut at Navan last term; nothing in 2 runs this season; tough mark.
15th	9 15th (9) (80/1 -142%) Will Be King	80 80/1(-142%)	(9) Will Be King 80/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f, 22/1). Off 9 months. Badly out of form in five runs last year and will probably need this after 281 days off.
16th	10 16th (10) (18/1 +28%) Theriverrunsdeep	18 18/1(+28%)	(10) Theriverrunsdeep 18/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, twelfth of 19 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 21 days ago. Chance on old form. Best form is on AW and possibly doesn't stay quite this far; best watched.

LTO Selection:

HOPE AND INNOCENCE was a creditable fourth on rain-softened ground over C&D in May and didn't run badly at all when last seen, finishing fourth in Bellewstown. That race was over further and she led until the closing stages. Golden Days has to be respected as she races off 1lb lower than when winning at Fairyhouse, due to the booking of 5lb claimer Cian MacRedmond. The Bog Bank is a solid operator at this level and arrives on the back of a Dundalk success. She has form with cut in the ground, although wouldn't want it too deep. Manhattan Dandy struck in an apprentice handicap at Roscommon and although up 8lb, Robert Whearty is able to use his full 7lb claim now. Miss Slovakia ran well in second at Fairyhouse and has a chance if handling slower ground.

Preference is for GOLDEN DAYS, who got back on the winning trail at Fairyhouse last time and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that victory. Miss Slovakia and The Bog Bank head the list of dangers.

HOPE AND INNOCENCE wasn't beaten far on h'cap debut last time and she is far less exposed than most of these

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (1/1 +39%) Tiffany	1 1/1(+39%)	(8) Tiffany 1/1, Upped in trip, made a winning handicap debut in 10-runner event at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 9/4) 12 days ago. Will go on improving and she can land the hat-trick. Won on her handicap debut at Windsor (1m2f) and she's open to more progress; interesting.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 +20%) Kingori	8 8/1(+20%)	(2) Kingori 8/1, Won first 2 starts, including at this course on debut. After 9 months off, below form when eighth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 23 days ago, though left poorly placed. Remains early days as he goes up in trip. Won first two starts but has been disappointing in last two runs; now steps up to 1m2f.
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 -9%) Broctune Red	12 12/1(-9%)	(7) Broctune Red 12/1, Seven-time course winner, with his latest success here in April. 4/1, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Can give his running again back at this venue. Seven-time course winner who ran well on turf last time; dangerous back on Tapeta.
4	10 4th (10) (7/1 +65%) Maid In London	7 7/1(+65%)	(10) Maid In London 7/1, Opened account at Wolverhampton in April. However, hasn't gone on from that effort since, never on terms when sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (1m, 10/1) 31 days ago. Up in trip with cheekpieces on 1st time. Still lightly raced but she needs cheekpieces to make a difference at this new trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (10/1 -25%) Strawman	10 10/1(-25%)	(3) Strawman 10/1, Ran well when second of 6 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 9/2) 32 days ago, despite having not been ideally positioned. On a workable mark as he makes his tapeta debut. Makes his belated AW debut but he went close at Beverley (1m2f) last time and is respected.
6th	9 6th (9) (22/1 -10%) The Dancing Poet	22 22/1(-10%)	(9) The Dancing Poet 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. With cheekpieces reapplied, not disgraced when fifth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good to firm, 16/1) 17 days ago. Others preferrred back down in trip. Has not won since last August and has been disappointing in his last two runs.
7th	11 7th (11) (33/1 -50%) Purple Ice	33 33/1(-50%)	(11) Purple Ice 33/1, Sole win came at this C&D in May. Below form both starts since, though, sixth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft, 22/1) 19 days ago. Return to this course should suit, but he still has work to do. His win came over C&D but that was in a Class 6 event and he's now 1-16.
8th	1 8th (1) (4.5/1 +10%) Heathen	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(1) Heathen 4.5/1, Won here on final start last year and followed up at Wolverhampton in March. Below form when twelfth of 18 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm, 12/1) 73 days ago, but he's interesting with hood back on returned to all-weather. Has struggled on turf last twice but he's 2-3 on Tapeta and could revive back on AW.
9th	6 9th (6) (33/1 -18%) Busby	33 33/1(-18%)	(6) Busby 33/1, Not discredited when third of 5 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D in February. However, faces a tough task on his return from 5 months off. Ten-time AW winner but he needs to rediscover his spark after a break.
10th	5 10th (5) (40/1 +20%) Khilwafy	40 40/1(+20%)	(5) Khilwafy 40/1, Won twice here (both at 16.2f) in early-2022. However, down the field both subsequent starts, eleventh of 13 in handicap at York (16.2f, good to firm, 40/1) when last seen a year ago. Looks to be up against it. Triple AW winner but has something to prove after 385 days off and others are preferred.

LTO Selection:

BASHFUL appeared to win with something in hand when recording a hat-trick at Hamilton last Thursday and a 1lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Tiffany likely has more wins in her this season too and is an obvious threat in her quest to land a three-timer. Strawman arrives in good heart from turf and makes most appeal of the remainder on his all-weather debut.

Upped in trip for her handicap debut, TIFFANY made it back-to-back wins when scoring at Windsor 12 days ago and she can continue her progress to land the hat-trick. Bashful also arrives in fine form and he's respected in his bid for a 4-timer, while Heathen could get back on track returned to all-weather with the hood reapplied.

Bashful has won three in a row and he's strongly respected but the vote goes to Sir Mark Prescott's progressive 3yo TIFFANY.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	16 1st (16) (22/1 -38%) Soul Seeker	22 22/1(-38%)	(16) Soul Seeker 22/1, C&D winner who has been holding his form well lately and has cheekpieces refitted today, so could get involved if things go his way. Won this in 2021; not the same force nowadays but edging down weights and not ruled out.
2	17 2nd (17) (6/1 +33%) Ecclesiastical	6 6/1(+33%)	(17) Ecclesiastical 6/1, Scored at Chester in June and has remained in form since, third at Catterick (didn't find much) 10 days ago. Not a forlorn hope. Two convincing wins last month; beaten the next twice but could still be on a good mark.
3	11 3rd (11) (9/1 +25%) Sugar Baby	9 9/1(+25%)	(11) Sugar Baby 9/1, Bounced back to score in a race that panned out nicely at Thirsk in June. Has remained in form since without threatening to add to that success. In good form of late & could be in the mix if conditions are okay (unproven on slow going).
4	6 4th (6) (20/1 -25%) Treacherous	20 20/1(-25%)	(6) Treacherous 20/1, Scored at Newbury in June and has generally held his form since, travelling smoothly when runner-up at Windsor last time. Big-field, well-run races suit him, so he could take a hand. Some good performances over 6f this season but drops back down to 5f here.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 +20%) Ey Up It's Maggie	6 6/1(+20%)	(5) Ey Up It's Maggie 6/1, Gambled on to make a winning return at Doncaster but hasn't been firing lately, so hard to make a solid case for despite being partnered by a top Jumps jockey. Disappointing the last twice but returns from a break and Paul Townend takes the ride.
6th	10 6th (10) (7/1 +42%) Strong Johnson	7 7/1(+42%)	(10) Strong Johnson 7/1, Hasn't won for almost two years but better signs lately for current yard, not disgraced when fifth at Nottingham 11 days ago. Too well handicapped to rule out completely. Very well handicapped on last year's Irish form and things may click again at some point.
7th	7 7th (7) (7.5/1 -7%) Speedacus	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(7) Speedacus 7.5/1, Showed benefit of comeback run when bouncing back to form to score in a first-time visor at Chepstow (5f) in June and decisively resumed winning ways at Doncaster last time. 4 lb rise for that seems fair but he's not the most consistent. Two wins from his last four starts and can be thereabouts if again on a going day.
8th	13 8th (13) (40/1 -60%) Strong Power	40 40/1(-60%)	(13) Strong Power 40/1, Well treated and got back on track to some extent when fifth at Nottingham 3 weeks ago. Has left Alice Haynes and consistency isn't his strong suit, so others make more appeal. Very well handicapped on AW form but he's not the same force on turf; stable debut.
9th	15 9th (15) (33/1 -32%) Prospect	33 33/1(-32%)	(15) Prospect 33/1, Scored at Catterick in June but hasn't really been in top form since, so others make more appeal. Won at Catterick last month but needs to better his three subsequent performances.
10th	4 10th (4) (14/1 -56%) Sound Reason	14 14/1(-56%)	(4) Sound Reason 14/1, Has benefited from the return to positive tactics lately, building on the encouragement of his previous outing when scoring (with little to spare) at Beverley last time. Should go well again if they don't go too hard up front. Won at Beverley three weeks ago and solid claims under champion jumps jockey Brian Hughes.
11th	2 11th (2) (8/1 +33%) Count D'orsay	8 8/1(+33%)	(2) Count D'orsay 8/1, Right back on song of late to score at Hamilton and Chester. Lesser showing at Yarmouth a couple of days ago but no great surprise if he bounces back. Two wins this summer but disappointing in hat-trick bid at Yarmouth on Thursday.
12th	14 12th (14) (18/1 +0%) Showalong	18 18/1(+0%)	(14) Showalong 18/1, Overcame a troubled start to record his first win in over 2 years at Nottingham in May. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests in his follow-up bid at Ayr but poor twice since, including at Catterick 10 days ago. Won at Nottingham in May but three lesser performances have followed.
13th	8 13th (8) (18/1 +64%) Majeski Man	18 18/1(+64%)	(8) Majeski Man 18/1, Two-time 5f winner at Nottingham and Beverley in May but hasn't been firing since, so others make more appeal. Won two in a row in May but hasn't shone on his last three outings.
14th	1 14th (1) (8/1 -14%) Sampers Seven	8 8/1(-14%)	(1) Sampers Seven 8/1, Becoming well treated and has shown a liking for this track in the past. Creditable third at Salisbury last time and, while slow starts have been a hindrance of late, first-time blinkers should perk him up, so he's worth chancing. On a long losing sequence but running pretty well this year and has edged down the weights.
15th	18 15th (18) (33/1 -32%) Dream Deal	33 33/1(-32%)	(18) Dream Deal 33/1, Best effort this term when second at Pontefract last time but this is a more competitive event and he's wrong at the weights, so others are more persuasive. 0-10 but ran well at Pontefract latest & could have more to offer in the retained headgear.
16th	19 16th (19) (80/1 -100%) Van Gerwen	80 80/1(-100%)	(19) Van Gerwen 80/1, Took a step back in right direction when fourth at Nottingham a month ago but still some way below the pick of last year's efforts and looks up against it from out of the weights. 10yo who has a patchy profile nowadays and is 5lb out of the handicap here.
17th	12 17th (12) (25/1 +24%) Leodis Dream	25 25/1(+24%)	(12) Leodis Dream 25/1, Winless this term and he has plenty to prove after another tame display here a fortnight ago. 2nd in this last year but hasn't shone this season and might not want slow ground nowadays.
18th	3 18th (3) (22/1 -10%) Glory Fighter	22 22/1(-10%)	(3) Glory Fighter 22/1, Back to winning ways in first-time cheekpieces in 5f Catterick handicap last month and ran well after 8 lb rise at Musselburgh next time. Drawn poorly over C&D on latest outing and he's not one to write off completely. Won at Catterick last month but failed to threaten over this C&D most recently.
19th	9 19th (9) (28/1 -12%) Resilience	28 28/1(-12%)	(9) Resilience 28/1, Has tumbled down the weights this year and offered a lot more encouragement when runner-up at Musselburgh last time. Looks a player if he can build on that. Back to form when runner-up at Musselburgh and each-way claims if backing up that effort.

LTO Selection:

Paul Midgley arrives with a strong team as he bids to emulate last year's success, and STRONG JOHNSON could be the pick of them. The seven-year-old has dropped 19lb in the handicap since the turn of the year and, with recent performances leaving the suggestion a return to form is near, he could cash in on a reduced mark. Beverley scorer Sound Reason merits the utmost respect, while Sampers Seven, Treacherous and Leodis Dream are just a few others to consider.

SAMPERS SEVEN has been bubbling under so far this term but, down in grade with blinkers on at a track that suits him, everything might fall into place today. Sound Reason looks a threat on the back of success at Beverley and Treacherous is likely to get involved if the leaders go too quickly.

Top Irish jumps jockey Paul Townend rides EY UP IT'S MAGGIE, who has a handy mark and possesses plenty of good course form.

4	5 4th (5) (33/1 -106%) Rosenzoo	33 33/1(-106%)	(5) Rosenzoo 33/1, Better effort in maidens when 6 lengths fourth over 7f at Epsom last week but it's likely a fair bit more will be needed to take this. Epsom fourth last time is fair form but he surely needs another step forward.
6th	6 6th (6) (80/1 -142%) Speed Court	80 80/1(-142%)	(6) Speed Court 80/1, €21,000 2-y-o by Acclamation. Dam once-raced half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Drumfad Bay. Likely outsider on debut. 21,000euros 2yo; first foal; dam once-raced half-sister to 6f 2yo/1m Listed winner.
7th	4 7th (4) (200/1 -33%) Octet	200 200/1(-33%)	(4) Octet 200/1, Down the field both starts and more one for handicaps after this. Behind in novices at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) and Doncaster (7f, soft).

LTO Selection:

Charlie Appleby boasts an outstanding record with his juveniles on the July Course and Dubawi colt AABLAN could enhance that further. His dam Promising Run was versatile regarding ground, which would offer plenty of hope for this racecourse bow. Magsood sets the form standard following his debut third at Kempton and is likely to play a leading role switched to turf, while others to note include Whiskey Pete and Bellum Justum.

Charlie Appleby has won the last 3 runnings of this maiden (two of them with newcomers) so the eye is drawn to Dubawi-colt AABLAN, whose entry in the Group 2 Champagne at Doncaster later in the season suggests he's been giving the right signals at home. Magsood ought to build on his promising debut third at Kempton, while Whiskey Pete and Bellum Justum are other newcomers who look the part on breeding.

Magsood made a promising debut at Kempton but it's not hard to suspect that the Appleby newcomer AABLAN will prove a match for him.

1	2 1st (2) (3.33/1 +17%) Random Harvest	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(2) Random Harvest 3.33/1, Progressive last season, culminating in Group 3 victory at Milan, and has shown even better form in defeat this term, most notably when neck second in Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot. Below her best in Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket last time but big player back at this level. Won Group 3 on soft; 2nd at Royal meeting and big shout if forgiven recent Newmarket run.
2	3 2nd (3) (8.5/1 -6%) Roman Mist	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(3) Roman Mist 8.5/1, Likeable mare who proved as good as ever when making winning return/yard debut in listed company at Goodwood (1m, heavy) in May. Flopped at Epsom but put that quickly behind her when respectable eight of 19 in Kensington Palace Stakes (Handicap) at Royal Ascot last time. Worthy of respect. Won Listed race on heavy on return; below best twice since but this ground more suitable.
3	9 3rd (9) (7/1 -8%) Thornbrook	7 7/1(-8%)	(9) Thornbrook 7/1, Came on a lot for her reappearance as he gained a first success since her debut when landing 10-runner listed race at Chantilly (8f, good) 28 days ago, keeping on well. Strong contender on that form but wouldn't want too much rain (below form both times on heavy). Bounced straight back from poor reappearance to win 1m French Listed contest; respected.
4	1 4th (1) (5.5/1 -22%) Ameynah	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(1) Ameynah 5.5/1, Confirmed the promise of her sole 2-y-o start when a good winner of a 7f maiden on the Rowley Mile. Thrown into the deep end in 1000 Guineas next time but ran really well to finish sixth, still green before doing good late work. Not seen for 15 months but remains likely to progress further. Just third start when sixth in last year's 1,000 Guineas; off since but retains potential.
5th	6 5th (6) (40/1 -21%) Mysterious Love	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Mysterious Love 40/1, Came good with emphatic Nottingham maiden win (1m, heavy) in a first-time hood in May. Not disgraced in Chantilly listed event subsequently but this is tougher and others appeal more. Easy winner of maiden in mud in May but held by Thornbrook on subsequent French form.
6th	8 6th (8) (20/1 +20%) Sea Of Thieves	20 20/1(+20%)	(8) Sea Of Thieves 20/1, Rangy filly who left last year's debut behind when springing a 66/1 surprise in a 7f Haydock novice on reappearance and progressed again when runner-up under a penalty at Newbury (1m, firm). Likely has more to offer but this is a big step up and she's unraced on ground no softer than good. Going the right way but faces a stiff task stepped up markedly in class.
7th	7 7th (7) (25/1 +24%) Rose Prick	25 25/1(+24%)	(7) Rose Prick 25/1, Made a winning handicap debut last August and ran well back in listed company when fifth at Chantilly 4 weeks ago but looks vulnerable at this level. 3l behind Thornbrook in French Listed race latest; something to find.
8th	4 8th (4) (12/1 +14%) Zenga	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Zenga 12/1, Useful sort who again shaped well when fourth of 9 in 1m listed event at Pontefract (good to soft) 18 days ago, short of room approaching final 1f and running on late. More required at this level, though. Has something to find on form but better than result on both outings this year.
9th	5 9th (5) (1.88/1 +32%) Cadeau Belle	1.88 1.88/1(+32%)	(5) Cadeau Belle 1.88/1, Cosy winner of 12-runner maiden at Gowran (7f, soft) on debut and followed up in impressive fashion in 1m Navan listed event (good to soft) a month later. Surely more to come after only 2 starts. 2-2, the latter a 1m Listed race; surely more to come and much respected.

LTO Selection:

RANDOM HARVEST boasts two very strong efforts this season, including when just denied by a neck in the Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot. The five-year-old, who found Group 1 company too hot to handle in the Falmouth last time, can take advantage of a drop in class. Cadeau Belle arrives here seeking to maintain her unbeaten record, having stepped forward from her maiden to win a Listed contest at Navan, and she commands the utmost respect. Thornbrook is another capable of further improvement.

The one who makes most appeal is CADEAU BELLE, who followed up her debut success in the manner of a most progressive filly in a listed event at Navan last month. She can extend her unbeaten record to 3, perhaps at the expense of Random Harvest, who ought to find life easier back down in grade. Ameynah hasn't been seen for well over a year, but her yard's runners rarely lack for fitness and she is clearly well regarded given her Group 1 entries.

If a recent below-par effort in the Falmouth can be forgiven, last month's Duke Of Cambridge second RANDOM HARVEST is the one to beat.

Stable in good form. Not written off. Listed placed before Irish 1,000 5th and worth forgiving latest run; should go well.

6th	5 6th (5) (80/1 -21%) Pale Iris	80 80/1(-21%)	(5) Pale Iris 80/1, Fairly useful mare. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 11/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Naas (7f, soft) 3 days ago. Up in trip. Yard in good form. Difficult ask, however. Losing run is mounting up; struggling in handicaps and hard to make a case for here.
7th	2 7th (2) (14/1 +0%) Angels Wrath	14 14/1(+0%)	(2) Angels Wrath 14/1, Useful filly. 12/1, 3¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Espionage in listed race at Roscommon (11.7f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Yard in good form. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs more here though. 2nd at Listed level twice this year; too keen latest and unproven on testing ground.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 -22%) Sunset Shiraz	22 22/1(-22%)	(6) Sunset Shiraz 22/1, Useful filly. Below-form fifth of 6 in minor event (4/1) at this course (9.4f, good to soft) 41 days ago. This course winner needs more. Placed at Group level and a course winner but out of form at present.
9th	7 9th (7) (50/1 -100%) Venice Biennale	50 50/1(-100%)	(7) Venice Biennale 50/1, Useful mare. 12/1, 8¼ lengths seventh of 11 to Layfayette in listed race at Limerick (12.5f, good) 36 days ago. Back down in trip. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Unplaced in her five attempts at Listed level this term and this is tougher.
10th	4 10th (4) (2.75/1 +31%) Moon De Vega	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(4) Moon De Vega 2.75/1, Useful filly. 2 wins from 2 runs this year. 15/8, career best when winning 7-runner listed race at Leopardstown (9f, good) 51 days ago by neck from Salt Lake City. This C&D winner is well in the mix. Course winner on yard debut; followed up in Listed race since; respected for yard in form.
11th	8 11th (8) (50/1 -213%) Dower House	50 50/1(-213%)	(8) Dower House 50/1, Fairly useful filly. 9 lengths last of 8 to Zarinsk in Brownstown Stakes (12/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Yard in good form. Very hard to make a case for. Listed placed earlier in campaign but lesser runs since and last in Gr 3 latest.

LTO Selection:

JACKIE OH has the chance of revenge on Village Voice over this shorter trip. Aidan O'Brien's filly lost out by three-quarters of a length to Village Voice in Listed class over 1m2f at Navan in May and, since then, was good enough to take fifth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas. She disappointed at Royal Ascot but gets slower ground here, which she relishes. Village Voice is rated 2lb superior to Jackie Oh and is a big player. She also wasn't at her best at Royal Ascot, but will welcome this ground. Moon De Vega is in excellent form and is chasing a hat-trick. She is up in class after a Listed success at Leopardstown and is well worth her place in this company. Goldana is the highest rated on a mark of 105 and has to give weight away. She wasn't outclassed in sixth in a Group 1 at the Curragh and should be well involved. Giladah should perform creditably for Dermot Weld.

GOLDANA hails from a stable going well and has less on her plate than when a good sixth in the Pretty Polly at the Curragh last time so edges the vote in an open Group 3. C&D scorer Moon de Vega rates a big threat however in her hat-trick bid, while Jackie Oh shouldn't be discounted despite failing to show her best at Royal Ascot.

This can go the way of GOLDANA who was a Group 3 winner earlier in the campaign and a reproduction of that form should be enough

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +70%) American Glory	3 3/1(+70%)	(1) American Glory 3/1, Displayed abilirt when fifth of 6 in novice event at Leicester (7f, good) on debut 30 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement. Made a low-key start at Leicester (7f) and he looks one for longer trips later on.
3	6 3rd (6) (3.5/1 +65%) Kodi Lion	3.5 3.5/1(+65%)	(6) Kodi Lion 3.5/1, Foaled April 14. €32,000 foal, 32,000 gns yearling, Kodi Bear colt. Dam unraced out of useful 2-y-o 7f winner Takrice. Yard 5-18 with 2yos here in recent years and he needs a close look on debut.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -71%) Alpen Power	12 12/1(-71%)	(5) Alpen Power 12/1, Found wanting for know-how when fourth of 7 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) on debut 26 days ago. Should improve with that under his belt. Half-brother to a 1m4f winner and was well held on 7f Musselburgh debut; others preferred.
5th	8 5th (8) (33/1 +0%) Havana Sky	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Havana Sky 33/1, Foaled March 29. 12,000 gns foal, 16,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m Data Protection and winner abroad by Acclamation. Half-brother to six winners but yard is 1-30 with 2yos this season.
7th	7 7th (7) (6.5/1 +13%) Terrorise	6.5 6.5/1(+13%)	(7) Terrorise 6.5/1, Failed to repeat debut form when last of 5 in novice event at Ayr (6f, good) 12 days ago. Up in trip. Disappointing at Ayr last time but he looks interesting on his debut third here last month.

LTO Selection:

Alpen Power arguably sets the standard of those who have raced and he's entitled to build on his debut fourth at Musselburgh earlier in the month. However, Charlie Johnston's inmate is up against some interesting newcomers, with TUNEFUL making most appeal. The daughter of Blue Point is a half-sister to the highly-rated Jack Darcy, who won on his opening bid as a juvenile. Clear Endeavour and Shin Jidai are other debutants that warrant market checks.

Those with experience don't set the bar too high so newcomers may come to the fore. Without the benefit of market clues, SHIN JIDAI makes the most appeal on paper, followed by Tuneful and Kodi Lion.

This looks tricky but it might be worth siding with Roger Varian's debutante SHIN JIDAI who has speed and stamina in her good pedigree.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (7/1 -40%) Aberama Gold	7 7/1(-40%)	(11) Aberama Gold 7/1, C&D winner who shaped promisingly, on debut for new yard, when fifth of 16 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 12 days ago, doing too much too soon. 1 lb lower now and is one for shortlist. Two wins last month and another big run on recent stable debut; firmly in calculations.
2	15 2nd (15) (6/1 +76%) Manila Scouse	6 6/1(+76%)	(15) Manila Scouse 6/1, Low mileage for a 4-y-o sprinter and not for the first time this year he shaped well when second at Ayr (6f, good to soft) on penultimate start. Raced closer to the pace than ideal back at that venue since and better showing not ruled out here. Engaged 6.40 York Friday. Had an excuse at Ayr 12 days ago; running well previously; fourth 6.40 here yesterday.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -9%) The Green Man	12 12/1(-9%)	(5) The Green Man 12/1, Thriving at present and forged clear to score again over C&D last month. Shaped as if still in good form when third at Newmarket since and must enter calculations. Only third at Newmarket latest but commanding win in big field over this C&D previously.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 +0%) Summerghand	10 10/1(+0%)	(2) Summerghand 10/1, Smart gelding who was a three-time winner last year, including in Ayr Gold Cup. Not at his best so far this term but is becoming well handicapped (5 lb below last winning mark). Has dropped to a dangerous mark but it's been a below-par campaign for this 9yo.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/1 +14%) Lethal Levi	6 6/1(+14%)	(1) Lethal Levi 6/1, Six wins from 22 Flat runs. Yet to score this term but back on track when respectable third of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 28 days ago. Likely contender Went close in big-field C&D handicap in May and he's capable of a bold show.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 -65%) Magical Spirit	14 14/1(-65%)	(4) Magical Spirit 14/1, Below par on AW latest but had posted good third in C&D handicap previously and goes well with cut in the ground. Respected. Below par at Newcastle last time but in good form on turf previously (including C&D).
7th	10 7th (10) (11/1 -10%) Barefoot Angel	11 11/1(-10%)	(10) Barefoot Angel 11/1, Dual winner as juvenile, including listed race over this trip at Ayr. Didn't see test out when well beaten in Nell Gwyn Stakes on return at Newmarket (7f) in April and doesn't look particularly well treated sent handicapping here. Had wind operation. Well beaten on sole 3yo run but wind op since; 2yo Group 3 winner last September.
8th	13 8th (13) (14/1 +22%) International Girl	14 14/1(+22%)	(13) International Girl 14/1, Dual winner last season who has acquitted herself well in both starts this term, latest when fourth of 8 in handicap over C&D (good to firm) 43 days ago. Soft ground is a concern, though. C&D winner who arrives in good form; unproven on slow ground.
9th	8 9th (8) (8/1 +33%) It Just Takes Time	8 8/1(+33%)	(8) It Just Takes Time 8/1, Winner of 6f handicaps at Thirsk and Ripon this term and back on track when creditable second of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Ought to go well again. Has improved this year, with two wins, and he's a possible player.
10th	14 10th (14) (14/1 -17%) Music Society	14 14/1(-17%)	(14) Music Society 14/1, Arrives in good form, making the frame again when creditable second of 16 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 12 days ago. Effective on slow ground and can make presence felt. Went close in this race in 2021 and did likewise at Ayr recently; could be bang there.
11th	3 11th (3) (22/1 -83%) Mondammej	22 22/1(-83%)	(3) Mondammej 22/1, Useful gelding but on a lengthy losing run and has been below par the last twice. Bit to prove at present. Has often run well over 5f here but that appears to be his optimum trip.
12th	12 12th (12) (25/1 +11%) Abduction	25 25/1(+11%)	(12) Abduction 25/1, Excuses at Ayr latest but is yet to score this term and hasn't done enough in recent starts to suggest his time is near. A strongly run 6f in big field could be right up his street; should finish to good effect.
13th	9 13th (9) (16/1 -14%) Zarzyni	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Zarzyni 16/1, Ran a cracker when fourth of 20 in 5f handicap at Epsom last month but below form at Ascot since and returns to longer trip now. Percentage call is to look elsewhere. Well beaten a fortnight ago but some strong finishes over 5f previously; returns to 6f.
14th	6 14th (6) (18/1 -50%) Hyperfocus	18 18/1(-50%)	(6) Hyperfocus 18/1, Veteran who resumed winning ways in style in 5f handicap at Ripon (heavy) in April and posted creditable third at Chester over this trip next time. Needs to bounce back from below-par effort at Hamilton latest, though. Not at best at Hamilton recently but in good form previously and he's effective over C&D.
15th	7 15th (7) (9/1 +18%) Lucky Man	9 9/1(+18%)	(7) Lucky Man 9/1, C&D winner who took a step back in right direction when respectable third of 6 in handicap (11/1) at Ascot (6f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Claims if building on that. Fair run at Ascot latest and ran really well in C&D handicaps last term; one to consider.

LTO Selection:

A case can be made for many of these but marginal preference is for LETHAL LEVI, who was not disgraced when third off this mark at Newcastle last time. The four-year-old is only 3lb higher than when a neck second over course and distance in May and he is likely to go very well once again. Magical Spirit is closely matched with the selection having finished third in the aforementioned contest at this venue, while Lucky Man and Mondammej are others with valid form claims.

Preference is for ABERAMA GOLD, who left the impression there are more races to be won with him off this sort of mark when fifth on debut for David O'Meara at Ayr last time. Music Society and The Green Man head the list of dangers.

Having fared best of the prominent racers at Ayr recently, when overhauled by four rivals close home, ABERAMA GOLD (nap) is the pick.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (6/1 +50%) Sisyphus Strength	6 6/1(+50%)	(3) Sisyphus Strength 6/1, Nottingham 2-y-o maiden winner who went off too hard in the King George V handicap at Royal Ascot but suspect her mark remains too high. Unfair to judge on latest run (set off too fast at Royal Ascot); needs overall improvement.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/1 -43%) Lion Kingdom	5 5/1(-43%)	(6) Lion Kingdom 5/1, Improved with each of his 3 starts as a juvenile and shaped well when fourth in a 15-runner 1m handicap on the Rowley Mile on return. Poor 12 weeks on at Ascot over this trip, but remains with potential and top apprentice up. Failed to prove his stamina 15 days ago but that was after nearly three months off.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +27%) James Mchenry	4 4/1(+27%)	(1) James Mchenry 4/1, Drew a blank in 4 starts at 2 but very much hit the ground running on return, winning 1m handicaps at Ripon and Haydock. Possible excuses in strong 3-y-o handicaps since (ran into back of one ultimately fatally injured at Royal Ascot latest). This is easier and he's one to consider. Badly hampered when upped to 1m2f but did nothing to show he might have the stamina.
4	7 4th (7) (3/1 +0%) Order Of Malta	3 3/1(+0%)	(7) Order Of Malta 3/1, Much improved having been gelded when landing 4-runner Nottingham event under this rider 3 weeks ago. Looks to have plenty about him physically and could be capable of better again now handicapping. One to consider. Won classified at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in clearcut style despite blowing the start.
5th	4 5th (4) (33/1 -371%) Sir Laurence Graff	33 33/1(-371%)	(4) Sir Laurence Graff 33/1, Didn't need to be at best to belatedly get off the mark in workmanlike fashion in Chelmsford novice over this trip in November, just holding on from Kingsley Pride. Has since left the Gosden yard and been gelded. Very well bred but will probably need to improve to defy this mark on return. Even best 2yo form (1m2f, good) for the the Gosdens requires improvement.
6th	8 6th (8) (10/1 -67%) Kingsley Pride	10 10/1(-67%)	(8) Kingsley Pride 10/1, Very well-bred but unreliable maiden, not beaten far in a change of headgear at Beverley over this trip on Monday, not seeming to fancy it. This is tougher and he's risky but a big run wouldn't be a total surprise under good claimer. Easily his most positive display of 2023 at Beverley (1m2f, heavy; visored) five days ago.
7th	5 7th (5) (3.33/1 +26%) Obsidian Knight	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(5) Obsidian Knight 3.33/1, Notched a third success at Lingfield in January and has remained in good order, well placed when third at York last time. This is tougher against the 3-y-os. Has done all his winning on Polytrack at Lingfield but placed on turf on last two outings.

LTO Selection:

PROMOTER (fifth) kept on well to finish within six lengths of the leaders in a warm handicap at Epsom in June and the unexposed son of Showcasing might be worth taking a chance on in these calmer waters. Fellow class-dropper James Mchenry, who failed to make an impact in the Golden Gates Stakes, should make his presence felt, while handicap debutant Order Of Malta is also noted.

There is more to come from PROMOTER over this sort of trip, his form in a couple of good 3-y-o handicaps reading well, and he makes plenty of appeal for a hot yard. Order of Malta and James McHenry are feared.

Order Of Malta is respected on his handicap debut but PROMOTER (nap) showed plenty of promise at Epsom on Derby day.

1	14 1st (14) (16/1 -129%) Baradar	16 16/1(-129%)	(14) Baradar 16/1, Never figured in the Buckingham Palace at the Royal meeting on good to firm but he shaped well under much softer conditions in Lincoln at Doncaster and Victoria Cup over C&D prior to that. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue tie. Big player with the ground likely to be in his favour. Suited by soft/heavy; looks a major player granted ideal conditions; cheekpieces added.
2	23 2nd (23) (50/1 +0%) Hickory	50 50/1(+0%)	(23) Hickory 50/1, Back on the up when second at Redcar (7f, good to firm) last month but he needs to shrug off a disappointing run on soft ground at Doncaster last weekend. Visored first time. Ran poorly on soft ground last Saturday; now goes in first-time headgear.
3	17 3rd (17) (12/1 +52%) Star Of Orion	12 12/1(+52%)	(17) Star Of Orion 12/1, Went close in this race in 2021. That came on the back of a win at Newmarket just 7 days before and he landed that same Newmarket handicap last weekend. No surprise were he to follow that with another good run in this. Went close in this race in 2021; won at Newmarket last Saturday; future mark 2lb higher.
4	8 4th (8) (12/1 +25%) Northern Express	12 12/1(+25%)	(8) Northern Express 12/1, Consistent sort who won the Thirsk Hunt Cup in May. Excellent placed efforts at York and in the Buckingham Palace over C&D before resuming winning ways back at York (edged out Vafortino) 15 days ago. Likely to give another good account. Progressing well this season; close fourth in this contest last year; should go well again.
5th	21 5th (21) (50/1 +0%) Fools Rush In	50 50/1(+0%)	(21) Fools Rush In 50/1, Has yet to really fire this year, finishing sixth of 13 in Scottish Stewards' Cup at Hamilton 8 days ago. Others are much more obvious. Present mark reflects a largely unconvincing record for current stable.
6th	2 6th (2) (28/1 -75%) Tacarib Bay	28 28/1(-75%)	(2) Tacarib Bay 28/1, Developed into a smart sort last year, including third in Balmoral Handicap over 1m here last October. Ran right up to form on Wolverhampton reappearance in March but not at best on turf later in the spring. A subsequent 102-day break needs to have revitalised him. Gelded since last run; placed twice at this course in 2022; interesting each-way claims.
7th	15 7th (15) (33/1 +0%) Orbaan	33 33/1(+0%)	(15) Orbaan 33/1, Came good at this time last year with wins in Golden Mile at Goodwood and classified stakes over this C&D (both good to firm). In-and-out form this year, though, and will need to be back on his A-game to play a leading role. Far from solid on 2023 form which includes two heavy defeats here.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 +45%) Montassib	12 12/1(+45%)	(6) Montassib 12/1, Back to winning ways at Newmarket (7f, good) in May but has found life tougher in the Buckingham Palace here and Bunbury Cup at Newmarket since. Buick takes the ride again but others are more obvious. Had a solid record over this trip until disappointing in major handicaps the last twice.
9th	22 9th (22) (9/1 +36%) Ramazan	9 9/1(+36%)	(22) Ramazan 9/1, Third best on his side in the Britannia at the Royal meeting (1m, good to firm) and resumed winning ways in calmer waters over 7f at Haydock since. 3-y-o who could have more to offer and respected under his 3 lb penalty. Justified favouritism at Haydock three weeks ago; this 3yo is open to further progress.
10th	4 10th (4) (40/1 +20%) Rhythm Master	40 40/1(+20%)	(4) Rhythm Master 40/1, Smart on his day and reappeared with a good second at Kempton in March but not seen again until finishing last of 29 in the Buckingham Palace at the Royal meeting. Hard to fancy after that. Finished last of 29 at Royal Ascot and is hard to support after that poor effort.
11th	9 11th (9) (10/1 -18%) Fresh	10 10/1(-18%)	(9) Fresh 10/1, Holds a very good record here, including a win in this race last year. Started 2023 with a couple of below-par efforts but back to his best when fifth of 27 in the Wokingham at the Royal meeting (6f, good to firm). Soft ground no problem. Yet another who can't be discounted. Completed a notable C&D double last term, the first leg in this race; respected.
12th	19 12th (19) (18/1 +28%) Popmaster	18 18/1(+28%)	(19) Popmaster 18/1, Went without a win in 2022 but back in top form this year, building on his 7f Newbury second when scoring over 6f here 15 days ago. Easy to forgive his run in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket just 24 hrs later. Well treated under a 3 lb penalty. The only runner who has never won at this distance; all wins over 6f.
13th	18 13th (18) (22/1 -57%) Spangled Mac	22 22/1(-57%)	(18) Spangled Mac 22/1, Made tremendous strides in his first season racing and his 2 efforts in the space of 48 hours at Royal Ascot last month suggest there could be a big handicap in him this time round. Going softer than good an unknown. Ran respectably twice at Royal Ascot last month; 4-4 last July; interesting contender.
14th	5 14th (5) (14/1 -27%) Bless Him	14 14/1(-27%)	(5) Bless Him 14/1, Had a hot spell last July, winning Bunbury Cup at Newmarket then second in this. Good fourth of 15 in this year's Bunbury Cup and should be in the shake-up in this race again. Useful hold-up performer; went very close off this mark in this race 12 months ago.
15th	16 15th (16) (25/1 -14%) Ropey Guest	25 25/1(-14%)	(16) Ropey Guest 25/1, Capitalised on a reduced mark when seeing of Nizaaka at Goodwood (7f) in May. Well held in the Buckingham Palace at Royal meeting but bounced right back to form when chasing home Biggles in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket a fortnight ago. Races off the same mark here. Second to Biggles in the Bunbury Cup; has underperformed twice in this contest.
16th	10 16th (10) (12/1 +40%) Bopedro	12 12/1(+40%)	(10) Bopedro 12/1, Irish Cambridgeshire winner in 2021 who struck for this yard at Newmarket (1m) in April. Creditable sixth in the Buckingham Palace over C&D last month and bounced back from a lesser run at York when third at Newmarket last weekend. Creditable sixth of 29 in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot three starts ago.
17th	24 17th (24) (50/1 +24%) Mitrosonfire	50 50/1(+24%)	(24) Mitrosonfire 50/1, Former course scorer but drawn a blank in 9 starts since his 7f Newmarket win last summer and unlikely he'll be resuming winning ways in a race of this nature. Held by Star Of Orion on Newmarket running last week; due to drop 2lb in future.
18th	12 18th (12) (33/1 -32%) Safe Voyage	33 33/1(-32%)	(12) Safe Voyage 33/1, Not getting any younger and drew a blank in 2022 but still capable of useful form, finishing third in the Thirsk Hunt Cup and fifth of 22 in the Victoria Cup over C&D in May. Each-way shout. Absent since a respectable fifth in the Victoria Cup; on a two-year losing spell.
19th	3 19th (3) (4/1 +20%) Biggles	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Biggles 4/1, Second in the Victoria Cup over C&D on soft in May. First home on his side in the Buckingham Palace at the Royal meeting and back on the up with a 2-length defeat of Ropey Guest in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket a fortnight ago. 2 lb well-in under his 3 lb penalty. Should go well. Strong record in 7f handicaps, most recently winning the Bunbury Cup; leading contender.
20th	1 20th (1) (18/1 +0%) Escobar	18 18/1(+0%)	(1) Escobar 18/1, Plenty of good runs on the straight course here over the years, including a win in the Challenge Cup off this mark last autumn. Has yet to scale the same heights this year but no shock were a return to this venue to spark a revival. Frankie Dettori rides. Defied this mark in similar event over C&D last October; good chance if back to that form.
21st	25 21st (25) (66/1 -32%) Mister Bluebird	66 66/1(-32%)	(25) Mister Bluebird 66/1, Latest win at Goodwood in June. Creditable efforts in defeat at Newbury and Newmarket since but the handicapper looks to have him about right. Has something to prove in this grade and with usual cheekpieces removed.
22nd	7 22nd (7) (7.5/1 +17%) Vafortino	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(7) Vafortino 7.5/1, Landed Victoria Cup over C&D in 2022. Placed in this year's renewal of that race and better than the result (met trouble) when tenth in Buckingham Palace at the Royal meeting. Wasted no time showing he's still in top form when edged out by Northern Express at York a couple of weeks ago. Player. Won the 2022 Victoria Cup over C&D; largely consistent this term; likely player.
23rd	11 23rd (11) (40/1 -21%) Spirit Of Light	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Spirit Of Light 40/1, Not seen to best effect in the Buckingham Palace and the Wokingham at the Royal meeting but still to score in this country and bit of a surprise if a first success were to arrive here. Came up well short in two handicaps at Royal Ascot last month; opposed.
24th	27 24th (27) (66/1 -32%) Zu Run	66 66/1(-32%)	(27) Zu Run 66/1, Progressed with each outing as a juvenile, winning over 7f at Chelmsford. Best effort in handicaps this year when fourth of 9 over C&D (soft) a fortnight ago but will need to step up a good deal on that form to get seriously competitive in this from 2 lb out of the weights. Ran respectably over C&D two weeks ago but this is harder; future mark 6lb lower.
25th	13 25th (13) (40/1 -21%) Lir Speciale	40 40/1(-21%)	(13) Lir Speciale 40/1, Progressive at 3 and picked up where he left off when a ready winner of 6-runner handicap at Kempton in May. Never a threat in the Buckingham Palace at the Royal meeting but he did race away from where the main action unfolded. Generally progressive until seemingly having his limitations exposed at Royal Ascot.

LTO Selection:

A fiercely competitive renewal with several appealing contenders lining up, including last year's winner Fresh, who finished a far-from-disgraced fifth at Royal Ascot last month. However, BLESS HIM was only beaten a head by the aforementioned 12 months ago and, now 3lb better off with that rival, he can turn the tables. Bunbury Cup hero Biggles finished two and a half lengths in front of the selection earlier this month but is another reopposing on worse terms, courtesy of his 3lb penalty. Vafortino, Ropey Guest and Northern Express are just three others with claims.

BARADAR can easily be forgiven his run in the Buckingham Palace on account of the ground. His efforts in the Lincoln and Victoria Cup prior to that suggest he can win one of these top-end handicaps and he gets the nod with the recent rain very much in his favour. Vafortino has already landed one big pot over this C&D and looks sets for a bold bid on the back of his recent York near miss. Bunbury Cup hero Biggles and last year's second Bless Him complete the shortlist.

Following a similar preparation, FRESH (nap) could well follow up last year's success in this race. Tacarib Bay is second choice.

4	3 4th (3) (2.75/1 +8%) Dumb Love	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(3) Dumb Love 2.75/1, Promising individual. Sixth of 14 in maiden (15/2) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) on debut 11 days ago, not knocked about. May well do better. Can be expected to show the benefit of a debut run at Killarney, could go close.
5th	2 5th (2) (3.33/1 -33%) Beauty Bella	3.33 3.33/1(-33%)	(2) Beauty Bella 3.33/1, Fair filly. Respectable fourth of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, soft, 11/4) 7 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not dismissed. Fairly consistent, perhaps blinkers will help and the going should not present a problem.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/1 -57%) Eloxi	11 11/1(-57%)	(4) Eloxi 11/1, Once-raced filly. Seventh of 14 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 80/1) on debut 11 days ago, keeping on well. Should progress. Stayed on in closing stages to finish 3l behind sixth-placed Dumb Love at Killarney.

8th	6 8th (6) (150/1 -50%) Jessi	150 150/1(-50%)	(6) Jessi 150/1, Thrice-raced filly. 200/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Huge price in her first three races and has run accordingly, can be ruled out.
9th	1 9th (1) (300/1 -50%) Helens Delight	300 300/1(-50%)	(1) Helens Delight 300/1, Thrice-raced filly on Flat. 200/1 and hooded for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Down in trip. Has failed to reach the first ten in any of her four races, safe to rule out.
10th	7 10th (7) (150/1 -50%) Just Another Eagle	150 150/1(-50%)	(7) Just Another Eagle 150/1, Thrice-raced filly. 125/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Limerick (7f, good) 35 days ago. Set for another struggle. Big price on all three outings, has shown little but possibly one for handicaps later.

LTO Selection:

LADY LUNETTE could go one better after losing out by a nose over this trip in Limerick. On her penultimate start, she ran well over further at this track before dropping to fourth. She looks to be going the right way now. Beauty Bella keeps attracting support on the back of placed efforts in fillies' maidens at Cork and Limerick in April. She hasn't quite replicated those runs, but gets first-time blinkers and the ground will hold no fears for her. Jeaniemacaroney ran keenly when unplaced in Naas, but would have claims if settling better as she did land a barrier trial in Dundalk last summer. Dumb Love didn't go unbacked on debut at Killarney before finishing sixth and is entitled to come on from the run, while Eloxi was over three lengths behind Dumb Love in seventh in that aforementioned race.

DUMB LOVE shaped well when sixth at Killarney 11 days ago and, with plenty of improvement on the cards, she can get the better of Lady Lunette, who sets the standard. Beauty Bella is another one to consider.

It was in a stronger maiden than this one that DUMB LOVE made her debut at Killarney and she may be good enough to win in this company

Ought to be a factor at this level. Won at Wolverhampton (2m) in May but was down the field there last time; mixed messages.
2	8 2nd (8) (6/1 -20%) Steel Helmet	6 6/1(-20%)	(8) Steel Helmet 6/1, C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 9/2) 33 days ago. Can make presence felt. Has won at Wolverhampton in two of his last three runs and he's respected back up in trip.

4	1 4th (1) (2.25/1 +10%) Mirrie Dancers	2.25 2.25/1(+10%)	(1) Mirrie Dancers 2.25/1, Won first 2 starts back in June. Continued good work when second of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 3/1) 10 days ago, just failing. and he's unexposed over 2m. Two wins and a close second for his new yard this season and he's open to more progress.

Lurks on a dangerous mark. 0-7 for current yard and was a well-held seventh at Nottingham last time; others preferred.
6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 -56%) Toutatis	25 25/1(-56%)	(9) Toutatis 25/1, 12/1, good fourth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (16.5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, suited by way race developed. 0-21 under both codes but he went very close at Doncaster (2m) on his penultimate run.
7th	10 7th (10) (10/1 +50%) Knight Of Kings	10 10/1(+50%)	(10) Knight Of Kings 10/1, Blinkers/tongue for the first time, eighth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW, 15/2) 53 days ago. Significantly up in trip and one to monitor in the market. 5yo who has plenty to prove and he's untried beyond 1m5f.
8th	7 8th (7) (22/1 +21%) Kitten's Dream	22 22/1(+21%)	(7) Kitten's Dream 22/1, Unreliable individual. Last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 16/1) 10 days ago, racing freely. Has not been firing on all cylinders since May and was beaten 18l at Wolverhampton latest.
9th	4 9th (4) (12/1 -50%) Tiger Spirit	12 12/1(-50%)	(4) Tiger Spirit 12/1, Step back in the right direction when seventh of 10 to Mirrie Dancers in handicap (10/1) at Redcar (14f, good to firm) 35 days ago, albeit better placed than most. No real reason why she'll reverse the form, though. Won off this mark at Southwell in January and he's not ruled out back on Tapeta.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (12/1 +40%) Gold Arch	12 12/1(+40%)	(2) Gold Arch 12/1, Temperamental sort. Twelve runs since last win in 2020. 18/1, last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 40 days ago. Lot to prove at present. On reduced mark but he missed last year and has been well held for new yard this season.

LTO Selection:

MIRRIE DANCERS posted a good effort in defeat when headed in the closing stages at Wolverhampton recently and the five-year-old is fancied to regain the winning thread off only 1lb higher. Last-time-out winner Steel Helmet arrives in fine form and a 3lb rise is unlikely to halt Harriet Bethell's charge from going close once again. The son of Helmet could give the selection most to do, while Lord Torranaga also enters calculations now reverting back to the all-weather.

MIRRIE DANCERS responded well when runner-up attempting to complete a hat-trick at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and, unexposed over 2m, he rates the percentage call. Steel Helmet and Victoriano are a couple of potential threats.

Top of the list is progressive MIRRIE DANCERS (nap), who went close when upped to 2m in his hat-trick bid at Wolverhampton last week.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/1 -25%) Alflaila	5 5/1(-25%)	(1) Alflaila 5/1, Ended 2022 firmly on the up, supplementing his Group 3 Strensall Stakes win at this venue at that level in the Darley Stakes at Newmarket (9f). Has an absence to overcome but a big form player if he returns in peak condition. Highly progressive last year; returns from absence but he's a major player nevertheless.
2	4 2nd (4) (1/1 -10%) My Prospero	1 1/1(-10%)	(4) My Prospero 1/1, Very progressive 3-y-o, landing odds in the Prix Eugene Adam at Saint-Cloud and cranked it up another notch when third in Champion Stakes at Ascot (½ length behind Bay Bridge) final start that year. Failed to come on for reappearance when fourth in Prince of Wales's Stakes but he's a massive player. Didn't totally fire at Royal Ascot but leading claims if back to his best.
3	5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 +31%) Royal Champion	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(5) Royal Champion 4.5/1, Shaped as though amiss in the Champion Stakes final start in 2022 but stepped up markedly on his comeback run when landing the Wolferton Stakes at Ascot last month. That was a deep race of its type so he has to be taken seriously. Listed win at Royal Ascot last month; tougher opposition here but could be up to the task.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 +36%) Checkandchallenge	9 9/1(+36%)	(2) Checkandchallenge 9/1, Three-time winner (including a 1m Group 3) who is often highly tried, not beaten far in the Lockinge at Newbury in May. Left with plenty to do how the race unfolded at Ascot last month but he's well worth another crack at this trip. Visor reached for. French 1m Group 3 winner last August and not ruled out on his second attempt at 1m2f.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 -17%) Mashhoor	7 7/1(-17%)	(3) Mashhoor 7/1, At the very top of his game, taking the rise in class in his stride when completing the hat-trick in Group 3 company at the Curragh a month ago. Uncomplicated sort but this asks another question of him. Highly progressive in Ireland and won Group 3 last time; could make another bold bid.

LTO Selection:

Alflaila was progressive as a three-year-old last year, winning his last three starts of the campaign in Listed/Group 3 company. As a course winner, Owen Burrows' charge must be taken seriously on his return to action, but the safe play is MY PROSPERO, who gets the class drop following his fourth in the Group 1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot last month. Royal Champion won the Wolferton Stakes at the same meeting and comes here in good heart, while Mashhoor is on a roll and he beat a good yardstick in Al Riffa at the Curragh latest.

MY PROSPERO's placed effort in the Champion Stakes at Ascot last autumn is the best piece of form on offer, and while he hasn't yet matched that in 2023, this looks a good opening for him eased slightly in class. Royal Champion arrives on the back of a career-best effort and is feared most, though Alflaila is dangerous if returning in top form.

My Prospero holds strong claims but ALFLAILA looked a top-notch prospect when winning his final three starts last year.

2	10 2nd (10) (7/1 +0%) Dream For Gold	7 7/1(+0%)	(10) Dream For Gold 7/1, Chelmsford City winner in February who found improvement when good second of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Epsom (6f, good) 24 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and will appreciate return to more conventional track (hung badly right last time).
3	4 3rd (4) (7.5/1 -25%) Divine Libra	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(4) Divine Libra 7.5/1, Scored for second time when taking 10-runner handicap at Chester (6.1f, heavy) 14 days ago, running on. 3 lb rise fair and any further rain will aid his cause,

5th	7 5th (7) (8.5/1 -6%) Spirit Of Applause	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(7) Spirit Of Applause 8.5/1, Back to winning ways at Haydock over this trip in May and acquitted himself well in defeat since, latest when second of 9 in handicap (13/2) at same course (5f, firm) 21 days ago. Not out of things.
6th	3 6th (3) (8/1 -78%) Tawalla	8 8/1(-78%)	(3) Tawalla 8/1, Improving in leaps and bounds, stepping up from his return when winning at Ripon before following up on handicap debut at Kempton (6f) last month, having the run of things but impressing with the way he knuckled down under pressure. 5 lb higher now but remains with potential.
7th	1 7th (1) (10/1 +0%) Alpha Capture	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Alpha Capture 10/1, Useful gelding who posted good second in conditions event at Southwell earlier this year. However, rather gone backwards since and has plenty to prove at present. Cheekpieces back on.
8th	2 8th (2) (20/1 -43%) Animate	20 20/1(-43%)	(2) Animate 20/1, Dual AW winner over 7f and went close behind smart prospect at Newcastle over this trip earlier this month. Yet to prove as effective on turf, though, and was well beaten here last time.
9th	5 9th (5) (25/1 -25%) Kuwait City	25 25/1(-25%)	(5) Kuwait City 25/1, Landed 5f York handicap in May before posting a good third of 8 at Ayr (5f) last month when left with too much to do. Not seen to best effect at Haydock latest but debatable whether this stiffer test will suit,
10th	8 10th (8) (33/1 +0%) Misty Blues	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Misty Blues 33/1, Fairly useful performer as a juvenile, ending campaign with solid fifth in 2-y-o Trophy at Redcar. However, offered little on belated return at Chester 4 weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

TAWALLA kicked on from the front when making a successful handicap debut at Kempton in June, his second win in as many starts. He is 5lb higher returning to turf, but the proven ability to handle easing ground conditions means the son of Invincible Spirit makes plenty of appeal. Bondi Bay made it 2-3 in her fledgling career when winning at Nottingham three weeks ago and she's an obvious candidate once again, while Divine Libra is taken to chase the pair home. Alpha Capture should not be underestimated either.

BONDI BAY looks to be a sprinter going places and she is taken to complete the hat-trick. Tawalla and Dream For Gold rate the principal dangers.

This is a rise in class for BONDI BAY but she's looked a sprinter with a big future in her brief career to date.

Open to progress for leading stable. Ballinrobe maiden winner, unexposed filly, should be able to make an impact in handicaps.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/1 +8%) Arthur's Victory	11 11/1(+8%)	(4) Arthur's Victory 11/1, Latest win at Southwell in January. 25/1, creditable eighth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (9f, good) 29 days ago, not ideally placed. Colin Keane does the steering. Three-time winner in Britain, shaped quite well at the Curragh on her second Irish outing.
7th	9 7th (9) (4.5/1 +36%) Cnodian	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(9) Cnodian 4.5/1, Latest win at Limerick in June. 6/1, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (7.4f, good) 24 days ago. Handles soft ground well enough to have a fair chance, solid form before lesser run latest.
8th	7 8th (7) (11/1 -22%) Mere Accountant	11 11/1(-22%)	(7) Mere Accountant 11/1, Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Tipperary (7.4f, good) 24 days ago. Stable in good form. Bold bid expected. Dundalk winner, three respectable runs in turf handicaps and one poor effort, more needed.

LTO Selection:

The locally-trained FOOLS GLORY handles testing ground well and comes here in form. The Cotai Glory filly has a good record over C&D as well, winning last autumn and going down by just a head in May. Machnamh has been gradually progressive in maidens and got off the mark over a furlong shorter at the Curragh last weekend when handling soft ground well. Her previous start at Limerick showed that she stays this trip and she's open to improvement stepping into handicap company for the first time. Green Sky's Ballinrobe maiden win came over further on good ground so she has a couple of questions to answer but is unexposed on just her third start while Mere Accountant was placed on testing ground earlier in the season and has been beaten less than three lengths in two of her three starts since.

MERE ACCOUNTANT has a pretty solid overall record and might prove the answer to this fillies' handicap. There should be more to come Green Sky on the back of her Ballinrobe maiden win on her just her second outing and she can fill the forecast spot ahead of Jim Bolger's Machnamh.

FOOLS GLORY (nap) is suited by soft ground and was able to bounce back from a moderate run to finish second at Killarney

First outing since when claiming the scalp of last year's Derby winner Desert Crown in the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown (1¼m) in May. Sure to go well again. High-class horse; 2-3 over this C&D and 3-4 on ground softer than good; strong contender.

At least as good this season, unsuited by emphasis on speed when second to Emily Upjohn in Coronation Cup at Epsom before landing odds in Group 1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud 3 weeks ago. Not taken lightly. Yet to win a Group 1 on home soil and seems held by Emily Upjohn on Coronation Cup form.
3	11 3rd (11) (4.5/1 +0%) King Of Steel	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(11) King Of Steel 4.5/1, Impressive debut winner at Nottingham who found the Futurity all too much just 10 days later but massive improvement on return for a new yard when finding only Auguste Rodin too good in the Derby, going clear briefly but collared late. Easy winner of Group 2 at Royal Ascot since and more to come. Close second to Auguste Rodin in the Derby, then went one better at Royal Ascot; respected.
4	5 4th (5) (14/1 +13%) Luxembourg	14 14/1(+13%)	(5) Luxembourg 14/1, Left reappearance run behind when recording a third success at the top level (one in each season to date) in Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh, seen to good effect from the front. However, was beaten 4 lengths when runner-up in Prince of Wales's Stakes here since. Top-flight 1m2f performer; better than bare result on sole 1m4f attempt; interesting.
5th	7 5th (7) (8.5/1 -13%) Pyledriver	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(7) Pyledriver 8.5/1, Career best when winning this race last year. First run since when recording his third C&D win in Hardwicke Stakes at the Royal Meeting 5 weeks ago despite taking a while to settle. Must be respected. Bids to defend his King George crown in a red-hot renewal but should give it his best shot.

7th	9 7th (9) (3.5/1 +22%) Emily Upjohn	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(9) Emily Upjohn 3.5/1, Most unlucky in the Oaks last summer, stumbling at start and forced wide. Signed off 2022 with an emphatic success in Fillies and Mares over C&D. Took form to another level when making impressive winning return in Coronation Cup at Epsom and lost nothing in defeat in Eclipse 3 weeks ago. Big shout. Talented; leading player provided she settles; pulled too hard in this contest last year.
8th	6 8th (6) (80/1 +20%) Point Lonsdale	80 80/1(+20%)	(6) Point Lonsdale 80/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who has resumed better than ever this spring with successes in 10f Alleged Stakes at the Curragh and Huxley Stakes at Chester. However, limitations exposed back at this level when 9¼ lengths third of 5 to Emily Upjohn in Coronation Cup at Epsom (12f, good to firm) 57 days ago. Bare form of Coronation Cup defeat gives him plenty to find in this similar event.
9th	2 9th (2) (33/1 +0%) Deauville Legend	33 33/1(+0%)	(2) Deauville Legend 33/1, Most progressive last year, winning twice at Group level (including Great Voltigeur at York) before excellent fourth of 22 in Melbourne Cup on final outing. Respectable 2¾ lengths fourth to Pyledriver in Hardwicke Stakes at this C&D on return 5 weeks ago but big step forward required here. Respectable fourth to Pyledriver in the Hardwicke but this is his stiffest-ever assignment.
10th	10 10th (10) (2.25/1 +25%) Auguste Rodin	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(10) Auguste Rodin 2.25/1, Comfortable winner of Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (heavy) final start at 2 yrs. Ran no sort of race when favourite for 2000 Guineas but back with a bang when winning the Derby at Epsom by ½ length from King of Steel. Landed odds in Irish Derby since, albeit made heavy weather of it. Strong claims. Leading 3yo who collared King Of Steel in the Derby then followed up in the Irish version.

LTO Selection:

As ever, this much anticipated battle of the ages serves up a mouth-watering clash, with dual Derby winner AUGUSTE RODIN the one to be on. The son of Deep Impact showed tenacity when he wore down the gallant King Of Steel in a thriller at Epsom and he is taken to uphold that form having shown deeper resolve when taking the Irish equivalent last time out. The older brigade is strongly represented, with Hukum rated as a serious threat after his Brigadier Gerard success on his return. Last year's winner Pyledriver and Coronation Cup heroine Emily Upjohn complete the shortlist.

An excellent renewal with 7 of the runners already a winner at the highest level. KING OF STEEL isn't one of them but he arguably has the most potential in the field and can reverse Derby placings with Auguste Rodin, who made heavy weather of following up his Epsom victory at the Curragh. Strong claims can also be made for high-class older horses Emily Upjohn and Hukum.

The Classic generation may gain the upper hand and KING OF STEEL is taken to reverse Derby placings with Auguste Rodin.

2	1 2nd (1) (7/1 -56%) Savvy Knight	7 7/1(-56%)	(1) Savvy Knight 7/1, Won at Kempton in June before finding life a bit tougher from higher mark when fourth of 7 in handicap at same course (12f, 13/8) 23 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Place claims here nonetheless. Won on Kempton AW two starts ago and could be in the mix on this first run on Tapeta.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/1 -50%) Alumnus	9 9/1(-50%)	(7) Alumnus 9/1, Much improved in first-time visor when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D 30 days ago, kept up to work. Still didn't look the most straightforward despite the headgear, so interesting to see whether he can back that performance up from 6 lb higher mark. Won with something to spare over C&D in first-time visor; a 6lb rise may not stop him.
4	6 4th (6) (2/1 +56%) Chillhi	2 2/1(+56%)	(6) Chillhi 2/1, Course winner. 10/1, respectable effort despite not really being seen to best effect when fifth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (14f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Can give a good account. Mixed form on turf this season but 2-2 here and very interesting now back at Newcastle.
5th	4 5th (4) (1.5/1 -9%) Flying Frontier	1.5 1.5/1(-9%)	(4) Flying Frontier 1.5/1, Progressive sort who arrives on a hat-trick after comfortable wins in 9f Carlisle maiden and 10f Redcar novice. Has more to offer upped further in trip now going into handicaps. Appeals as the one to beat. Has won his last two & this unexposed 3yo has the potential to be better than opening mark.
6th	2 6th (2) (28/1 -100%) Lucky's Dream	28 28/1(-100%)	(2) Lucky's Dream 28/1, Missed all of 2022 but all ability seeming remains, a good second at Newbury on his penultimate outing before running respectably enough when fourth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good) 24 days ago. Will likely need to build on those efforts racing from higher AW mark. Went very close two starts ago and won here in 2020 on sole course visit.
7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 +57%) Think First	12 12/1(+57%)	(3) Think First 12/1, Has struggled in Group events on his last 2 outings and looked fairly well summed up his mark on his other try in handicaps, so will likely need to show a bit more switched to tapeta. Handed a more realistic assignment than the last twice but not obviously well treated.

LTO Selection:

FLYING FRONTIER has progressed nicely with each start to date and made it two on the bounce with a comfortable display at Redcar under a penalty. The son of Farhh makes plenty of appeal on his handicap debut, especially with the extra couple of furlongs to aid his cause. He gets the vote at the main expense of Lucky's Dream, who can be forgiven his latest effort when not appearing to handle Epsom, and recent C&D winner Alumnus.

FLYING FRONTIER remains open to improvement now switched to handicaps and is a confident selection to complete the hat-trick. Savvy Knight won at Kempton last month and wasn't disgraced from a similar mark there on his latest outing, so he's fancied to make the frame alongside Chillhi.

16:00 York Handicap (Class 3) 6f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (3/1 -9%) Blue Prince	3 3/1(-9%)	(5) Blue Prince 3/1, Built on earlier promise when going close at Doncaster (6f) a fortnight ago, definitely suited by the longer trip. His mark doesn't look stiff and he's a fair prospect for nurseries now. Went close at Doncaster recently and he's firmly in calculations on nursery debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 -64%) Ganesha	4.5 4.5/1(-64%)	(1) Ganesha 4.5/1, Second victory at Hamilton (5f) when landing a gamble with a bit in hand on nursery debut (just 4 runners) last week. This is tougher up 6 lb but longer trip fine and he's a player. Ready win on nursery debut at Hamilton and holds strong claims up 6lb.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/1 +10%) There's No Limit	9 9/1(+10%)	(4) There's No Limit 9/1, Excuses at Chester last time (seemed unsuited by track, also had worst of draw) and previous Newbury third looks solid. Can go well now tackling nursery. Third on first two starts before lesser run last time; not written off on nursery debut.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 +17%) Packard	5 5/1(+17%)	(2) Packard 5/1, Off the mark in 6f Lingfield AW novice second start before finding the Coventry too hot. Blinkers on for handicap debut and remains with potential. Won at Lingfield on second start; down the field at Royal Ascot but retains potential.
5th	3 5th (3) (1.75/1 +36%) The Good Biscuit	1.75 1.75/1(+36%)	(3) The Good Biscuit 1.75/1, Seller winner who improved plenty again when easily taking 6f Lingfield novice 4 days later. Looks to have scope and can go higher still (Champagne Stakes entry). Leading claims. Has won the last twice (seller/novice) and he's one to consider on his nursery debut.

LTO Selection:

PACKARD had shown a fair amount of promise on his first couple of starts, finishing second on debut at Goodwood before going one better at Lingfield, and the son of Mehmas, who was outclassed in the Coventry at Royal Ascot, is expected to bounce back with the addition of first-time blinkers. Ganesha went up 6lb for his nursery success at Hamilton and is likely to have more to offer, while others to note include There's No Limit and Blue Prince.

None of these can be ruled out but BLUE PRINCE looks the type to do better now contesting nurseries for Richard Fahey and gets the vote over the hat-trick seeking The Good Biscuit and There's No Limit.

The Richard Fahey-trained BLUE PRINCE went close at Doncaster recently and is taken to go one better on this nursery debut.

11	11 (11) (11/1 +78%) Molly Hall	11 11/1(+78%)	(11) Molly Hall 11/1, Down the field in bumper and Flat maidens. Makes handicap debut after 11 months off. Lack an outing this season and does not appeal as a strong contender on 2022 maiden form.
1	3 1st (3) (10/1 +9%) Red Trail	10 10/1(+9%)	(3) Red Trail 10/1, 17/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Back down in trip. Won back-to-back 1m2f soft-ground handicaps last autumn, yet to find best form this season.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/1 +65%) Not Just Any Eagle	7 7/1(+65%)	(8) Not Just Any Eagle 7/1, Seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft, 17/2) 41 days ago. Yet to fire this season. Three ordinary runs this term including when favourite for 1m4f Fairyhouse handciap.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.33/1 +0%) Mr Mills	3.33 3.33/1(+0%)	(2) Mr Mills 3.33/1, Career best when winning 17-runner handicap (9/1) at Navan (10f, soft) 14 days ago. Hit with 8 lb rise but may do better still. Up 8lb for winning a 17-runner contest at Navan, leading chance for talented rider.
4	9 4th (9) (12/1 +76%) Party Moon	12 12/1(+76%)	(9) Party Moon 12/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2019 and offered little on first run since leaving David Peter Dunne after 10 months off when down the field at Dundalk (12f, 50/1) 17 days ago. Down in trip. Won twice in Germany in 2019, no encouragement from overall Irish form in recent seasons.
5th	10 5th (10) (8/1 +50%) Magic Charm	8 8/1(+50%)	(10) Magic Charm 8/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Bit below form tenth of 16 in handicap (20/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 16 days ago. Claims on the pick of his form. Placed handicaps at the Curragh and Tipperaery in the spring, well held last three starts.
6th	15 6th (15) (14/1 +44%) Enquire Within	14 14/1(+44%)	(15) Enquire Within 14/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Down Royal (12.8f, good) 35 days ago. Down in trip. 0-18 but has shown some promise in three runs for this stable over longer distances.
7th	14 7th (14) (22/1 -83%) Berliet Express	22 22/1(-83%)	(14) Berliet Express 22/1, Modest maiden handicap chaser, another good effort when runner-up last time. Not dismissed back on the level. Second in a handicap chase at Wexford recently, limited Flat experience and none on turf.
8th	4 8th (4) (12/1 -20%) Bardo Contiguo	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Bardo Contiguo 12/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Fourth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Down in trip. Last win was in 2020, fourth of eight over 1m4f at Tramore recently, needs to find more.
9th	17 9th (17) (14/1 +30%) Two Metres Apart	14 14/1(+30%)	(17) Two Metres Apart 14/1, Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft, 8/1) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. 15-race maiden, third over 1m at this venue on penultimate start, tackles new trip now.
10th	7 10th (7) (5.5/1 -10%) Game Nation	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(7) Game Nation 5.5/1, 8/1, creditable second of 15 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft) 14 days ago, no match for winner. Needs considering. Maiden gave encouraging performance when second to a well-fancied rival over 1m2f at Navan.
11th	18 11th (18) (8/1 +68%) Atlas	8 8/1(+68%)	(18) Atlas 8/1, Thirty two runs since last win in 2020 and ran badly in a change of headgear when seventh of 17 to Mr Mills in handicap (28/1) at Navan (10f, soft) 14 days ago. RESERVE. First reserve, three years since last win, unlikely to reverse Navan form with Mr Mills.
12th	6 12th (6) (16/1 -45%) Hurricane Helen	16 16/1(-45%)	(6) Hurricane Helen 16/1, Unreliable individual. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 7 in claimer (7/1) at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Back down in trip. Four-time winner in Britain, some fair Irish form but others make more appeal.
13th	12 13th (12) (20/1 -43%) Miss Cunning	20 20/1(-43%)	(12) Miss Cunning 20/1, Latest win at Cork in April. 10/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Limerick (8f, good) 35 days ago. Bounce back needed. Has notched a win and a place this term, other three runs have been poor, hard to predict.
14th	13 14th (13) (80/1 -21%) Riqaaby	80 80/1(-21%)	(13) Riqaaby 80/1, Little impact in 4 Flat outings and would've finished well held if completing on hurdling debut at Bellewstown (16.8f, good, 150/1) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Placed in a bumper at this venue on debut in 2020, nothing of note in his form since then.
15th	5 15th (5) (33/1 -32%) Danesfort	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Danesfort 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was well held on handicap debut at this course (9.4f, soft) 80 days ago. Needs to improve. Soft ground is possibly a concern based on C&D run on handicap debut, eased when beaten.
16th	16 16th (16) (40/1 -60%) Gatsby Cap	40 40/1(-60%)	(16) Gatsby Cap 40/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft) 67 days ago, merely closing up late. Entitled to be sharper for that. Dual course 1m winner, also two wins at Dundalk, this season's form is unconvincing.

LTO Selection:

An 8lb rise for his three-parts of a length win at Navan is probably fair for MR MILLS who idled in front after getting there easily and then pulled out more when required to seal victory. He wants soft ground and the presence of Adam Caffrey, whose claim will be in demand at Galway next week, enhances his chance. Lucky Queen returned to form under an unorthodox ride at Killarney and the locally-trained filly ran well on testing ground in the autumn including when second in a big field over 1m2f at the Curragh. Bardo Contiguo caught the eye on his second run back from a break at Tramore but this trip looks too sharp while Game Nation showed that he handles a soft surface when runner-up in the other division of the handicap won by the selection at Navan.

LUCKY QUEEN bounced back to her best when runner-up at Killarney 10 days ago and is worth siding with to go one better from the same mark. Game Nation and Mr Mills head the dangers.

On the receiving end of unstylish riding at Killarney last week LUCKY QUEEN nonetheless managed to show a significant return to form

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (12/1 +25%) Tiger Crusade	12 12/1(+25%)	(4) Tiger Crusade 12/1, Dual 7f AW winner this winter but he came in last of 12 in handicap here back on turf 15 days ago. Has something to prove. Lower turf mark to exploit but ran poorly here last time and soft ground would be a worry.
2	7 2nd (7) (5.5/1 -10%) Justcallmepete	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(7) Justcallmepete 5.5/1, Two-time 6f Southwell scorer in January and in good form since until a below-par fourth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Disappointing at Windsor 12 days ago; blinkers off today; soft ground is a concern.
3	2 3rd (2) (1.62/1 +41%) Chairmanoftheboard	1.62 1.62/1(+41%)	(2) Chairmanoftheboard 1.62/1, C&D winner who got back on track when second of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 8 days ago. Visor replacas cheekpieces. Expected to be bang there nudged up 1 lb. On a losing run but ran well last week and has a good record at both Newmarket tracks.
4	6 4th (6) (20/1 -67%) Spring Bloom	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) Spring Bloom 20/1, Resumed winning ways on the Rowley course here in May but he's been well below par at Epsom and Windsor since. Others are more persuasive. His wins have come over 5f on fast ground but does stay 6f; drying surface would help.
5th	1 5th (1) (5.5/1 +31%) Silver Samurai	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(1) Silver Samurai 5.5/1, Is yet to fire this season and tongue tied when only sixth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Has not found his best form this year and opposable despite a reduced mark.
6th	9 6th (9) (4.5/1 -35%) Coco Bear	4.5 4.5/1(-35%)	(9) Coco Bear 4.5/1, Has taken her form up a notch this spring on soft ground, completing her hat-trick in 6f Ascot handicap. Back from a break now on a career-high mark but he still merits consideration. 3-3 this year, all over 6f on soft; drying ground wouldn't be ideal now up in class.
7th	8 7th (8) (8.5/1 +58%) Priscilla's Wish	8.5 8.5/1(+58%)	(8) Priscilla's Wish 8.5/1, Back on the up to gain her seventh course success at Yarmouth in June but she turned in a rare poor effort when only seventh of 8 over C&D 29 days ago. Highly likeable mare who can bounce back. Prolific winner who shouldn't mind conditions; could go well at a price.
8th	3 8th (3) (33/1 -32%) Hierarchy	33 33/1(-32%)	(3) Hierarchy 33/1, Useful 6f winner for Hugo Palmer but yet to reach same heights in four starts for his current connections. Falling in the weights but still needs to show more. Poor form for current yard and hard to warm to despite a reduced mark.
9th	10 9th (10) (33/1 -65%) Sir Oliver	33 33/1(-65%)	(10) Sir Oliver 33/1, Arrives below form, only tenth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 20 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. On his last winning mark but recent efforts don't suggest he's the one to be on.

LTO Selection:

This represents a drop in class for Chairmanoftheboard, who lost little in defeat when filling the runner-up spot over this trip at Hamilton earlier this month. However, the four-time seeking COCO BEAR gets the vote. A game winner of his last two wins, the five-year-old looks capable of defying a further 3lb rise as he steps into deeper waters here. The consistent Justcallmepete is another to bear in mind.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and C&D scorer CHAIRMANOFTHEBOARD, who can race off just a 1 lb higher mark than when a good recent Hamilton second, looks the way to go. Coco Bear returns from a break but still can't be taken lightly in his bid for a four-time, while Bernardo O'Reilly and Justcallmepete need factoring in too.

He's on a losing run but CHAIRMANOFTHEBOARD ran well at Hamilton last week and looks far more convincing than most here.

Should be more to come and merits consideration. Justified strong market support on debut at Newbury and needs taking seriously.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/1 -22%) Al Musmak	11 11/1(-22%)	(1) Al Musmak 11/1, Promising type who made a winning start in 11-runner minor event (9/1) over C&D (soft) 14 days ago. Looks sure to progress and must enter calculations. Looked useful prospect when making winning debut over C&D; open to improvement.
3	3 3rd (3) (1.75/1 +22%) Ancient Wisdom	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(3) Ancient Wisdom 1.75/1, €2,000,000 yearling who made an impressive winning debut at Haydock (7f) last month and followed up at Newmarket (7f, good) 15 days later. Sets the standard on form and remains open to further improvement. Convincing winner at Haydock/Newmarket; yard has won this race in three of last four years.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 -25%) Alyanaabi	5 5/1(-25%)	(2) Alyanaabi 5/1, Off the mark at the first time of asking in 5-runner minor event at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Faces a tougher test now but likely has more to offer. Well bred; overcame greenness to win at Salisbury; this step up to 7f should suit.
5th	7 5th (7) (33/1 -32%) Dancing Gemini	33 33/1(-32%)	(7) Dancing Gemini 33/1, Offered plenty to work on when second of 9 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 7/2) on debut 31 days ago. BIg leap forward required to play a part here, however. Best work late on when second at Salisbury (well backed) on debut; impossible to discount.
6th	10 6th (10) (2.5/1 +17%) Sunway	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(10) Sunway 2.5/1, Promising sort who had plenty in hand when making a winning racecourse bow at Sandown (7f, good) 43 days ago. Looks sure to progress and is a big player. Well bred and 300,000euros yearling; stormed clear to win at Sandown; could be the answer.
7th	6 7th (6) (18/1 -13%) Chaturanga	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Chaturanga 18/1, Justified strong support when decisive winner on debut at Redcar (6f) in May and ran to similar level when following up in Haydock minor event (7f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces now added and he remains open to progress. 2-2, the second win coming over this trip at Haydock; unexposed; cheekpieces fitted.
8th	4 8th (4) (50/1 +0%) Barg	50 50/1(+0%)	(4) Barg 50/1, Easy winner at Ripon (6f) last month but limitations seemingly exposed at Pontefract since and faces a tough task here. Put firmly in his place at Pontefract last time and this is a much sterner assignment.
9th	5 9th (5) (40/1 -21%) Bigbertiebassett	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Bigbertiebassett 40/1, Built on encouraging debut effort when landing 8-runner minor event at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 29 days ago, kept up to work. Improvement required to take a hand here, though. Doncaster winner last month; this Listed race requires another sizeable step up the ladder.
10th	8 10th (8) (16/1 +0%) How's The Guvnor	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) How's The Guvnor 16/1, Put experience to good use when opening account at third attempt in 12-runner maiden (10/3) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago, forging clear. Should stay this longer trip and can't be discounted. Significant progress with each run, clearcut scorer at Doncaster; experienced; very solid.

LTO Selection:

Ancient Wisdom is unbeaten in two starts to date having justifying cramped odds on his latest outing at Newmarket to defy a 6lb penalty and the son of Dubawi sets the standard. However, there are many unknowns in this contest, so SUNWAY gets the tentative vote after his mighty effort at Sandown to score by over three lengths. The son of Galiway is a full-brother to Champion Stakes winner Sealiway and he could improve further to go close. Rosallion also makes plenty of appeal after his victory at Newbury.

SUNWAY overcame considerable signs of inexperience when making an impressive winning debut at Sandown last month and ought to have learnt plenty from that. He can follow up. Ancient Wisdom has done little wrong so far and rates the principal danger, whilst Rosallion may be the pick of the remainder, several of whom remain with potential.

Plenty can be fancied but the verdict goes to the well-bred SUNWAY, hugely impressive at Sandown once getting the hang of things.

Likely to bounce back returned to tapeta, so he's no forlorn hope. Won a slowly-run C&D handicap in April but well beaten in two turf runs since; risky.
12th	9 12th (9) (28/1 -250%) Berkshire Phantom	28 28/1(-250%)	(9) Berkshire Phantom 28/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Chester (7.6f, good) 42 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Not discounted. Two 7f wins on AW for A Balding; sold for 28,000gns recently; up in trip for stable debut.

LTO Selection:

MIAMI THUNDER made the perfect start to life with Darryll Holland when running out an empathic winner over C&D at the end of last month. Despite a 10lb rise from the handicapper, it would be no surprise to see him back that performance up. Tajawal is expected to leave behind a disappointing effort at Chester when clearly not himself, while Power Of Gold and Starshiba appear best of the remainder.

MIAMI THUNDER improved to score easily over C&D on his first outing for this stable and he's a confident choice to follow up, acknowledging that Tajawal is likely to bounce back returning to tapeta. Power of Gold is a reliable sort who should go well again.

10	10 (10) (11/1 +8%) Kalamity Kitty	11 11/1(+8%)	(10) Kalamity Kitty 11/1, Winner of all 3 starts of a truncated 2022 campaign and proved that her ability remains intact following 13 months off when fifth in 2m Kempton handicap in June. Should be sharper now and she has to enter calculations. Off 13 months before reappearance and big shout if she can build on that promising display.
1	11 1st (11) (5/1 +38%) Baez	5 5/1(+38%)	(11) Baez 5/1, Positive start for the Jim Goldie yard, getting off the mark in clearcut fashion at Catterick (2m, good to firm) 17 days ago. Raised 6 lb for that but she is unexposed as a stayer. Up 6lb and markedly in class but needs respect after scoring with authority at Catterick.
2	7 2nd (7) (0.73/1 +42%) Golden Shot	0.73 0.73/1(+42%)	(7) Golden Shot 0.73/1, Typical improver from his yard who made it 3-4 in handicaps on his 13f Ayr reappearance on Monday. Escapes a penalty as that was an apprentice race. Proven at 2m. Hard to beat if coping with quick turnaround. Won at Ayr (1m5f, good to soft) on reappearance this Monday and can race off the same mark.
3	5 3rd (5) (16/1 -33%) Sea Grey	16 16/1(-33%)	(5) Sea Grey 16/1, Winner of sole start at 2 yrs for Andrew Balding. Has drawn a blank since but recent efforts respectable and his mark continues to edge down. Steps up significantly in trip. Debut in November 2021 was his only win; major unease about his prospects over 2m today.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 +0%) Zimmerman	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Zimmerman 12/1, Largely consistent, bouncing back from a couple of lesser runs when third over 14.5f at Chester a fortnight ago. Each-way claims if stamina holds stepping up to 2m for the first time. Best on softer than good; has a big question to answer, though, with this move up in trip.
5th	12 5th (12) (66/1 +0%) Yakhabar	66 66/1(+0%)	(12) Yakhabar 66/1, Fair maiden. Respectable fifth of 8 at Hamilton (1½m) last month. 4 lb out of the handicap now stepping back up in trip. It's likely that wait for a first win will go on. Ten-race maiden; 4lb out of the handicap today and seems up against it.
6th	4 6th (4) (18/1 -50%) Caldwell	18 18/1(-50%)	(4) Caldwell 18/1, Hurdles winner who opened his account on the Flat at Kempton (2m) a year ago and followed that with a trio of in-frame efforts. Respectable fifth of 11 in 2m handicap at Nottingham on reappearance but not at best over hurdles since. Career-best form on Flat last April-June; his few starts since raise doubts.
7th	8 7th (8) (9/1 +36%) Yorkindness	9 9/1(+36%)	(8) Yorkindness 9/1, Career best when winning easily over 17f at Pontefract but that was a weak 4-runner race and she's been held from marks in the low-70s twice since. Stays well but has a 2-17 strike-rate with too many modest shows for comfort.
8th	6 8th (6) (8/1 +20%) Mister Camacho	8 8/1(+20%)	(6) Mister Camacho 8/1, Belatedly got off the mark in impressive fashion when scoring by 7½ lengths in 6-runner event (6/4) at Catterick (1¾m, heavy) in April. Respectable sixth of 12 at Hamilton (13f) the following month. Been off 11 weeks. Stays 2m; form claims rest on his wide-margin win at Catterick (1m6f, soft) in April.
9th	2 9th (2) (33/1 -65%) Red Force One	33 33/1(-65%)	(2) Red Force One 33/1, Three Flat wins last summer included one over C&D. Also successful over hurdles at Huntingdon in May but pulled up at Stratford earlier this month (found to have an irregular heartbeat). Impressive in this last year (up 8lb today); irregular heartbeat over hurdles 25 days ago.
10th	9 10th (9) (28/1 -40%) Clansman	28 28/1(-40%)	(9) Clansman 28/1, Won on reappearance at Doncaster in April. Respectable in-frame efforts at Hamilton on 2 of his 3 starts since. Steps up 3f in trip here. Won over 1m5f on heavy going last October but has not proved himself beyond that.

LTO Selection:

KALAMITY KITTY was denied a fifth consecutive win when switching to the all-weather for her latest outing and she is fancied to bounce back here. Even though she remains 5lb above her last winning mark, which came over this distance at Nottingham in May, she can get the better of last-time-out winner Baez, who races off 6lb higher. Golden Shot scored on his return to action at Ayr on Monday and cannot be taken lightly off the same mark, while Captain Kane also warrants consideration.

A race which to some degree revolves around GOLDEN SHOT, who will be tough to beat off the same mark as when scoring at Ayr on Monday if this doesn't come too quickly on him. Captain Kane got back to winning ways when stepped up to 2m at Lingfield last time and is second choice ahead of Kalamity Kitty and Baez.

Golden Shot has a great deal going for him but faces a very interesting rival in KALAMITY KITTY. Third on the list is Baez.

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +50%) Navagio	5 5/1(+50%)	(2) Navagio 5/1, Useful gelding. Latest win at Limerick in June. 8/1, respectable eighth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) 29 days ago. Not sure longer trip will be ideal but this is very winnable if everything falls right. 1m Limerick handicap winner on soft on penultimate run, not suited by the race conditions.
2	5 2nd (5) (1.38/1 -73%) Didn'thavemuchtodo	1.38 1.38/1(-73%)	(5) Didn'thavemuchtodo 1.38/1, Useful filly. 9/2, respectable 3¼ lengths third of 10 to Cadeau Belle in listed race at Navan (8f, good to soft) om return 48 days ago, not clear run. Plenty in her favour on these terms. Enjoyed a productive campaign at three and made a pleasing return, ground a big concern.
3	3 3rd (3) (3.33/1 +26%) Londoner	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(3) Londoner 3.33/1, Useful colt. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good, 7/1) 16 days ago, not seen to best effect. Very interesting with sights lowered. Dundalk maiden winner at two, has not trained on as well as might have been expected.
4	1 4th (1) (2.5/1 +0%) Helvic Dream	2.5 2.5/1(+0%)	(1) Helvic Dream 2.5/1, Smart performer at best (won Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh in 2021). Lightly raced in 2022 and hasn't shown much for a while. Plenty to prove although this isn't a great race. Group 1 winner, suited by heavy ground, failed to prosper last year, questions to answer.
5th	4 5th (4) (200/1 +0%) Prince Of Glamour	200 200/1(+0%)	(4) Prince Of Glamour 200/1, Poor maiden. Hooded for 1st time, ninth of 10 in maiden (80/1) at Limerick (7f, good) 35 days ago. Significantly up in trip. No appeal. Has shown nothing in three maidens and looks completely out of his depth in this company.

LTO Selection:

HELVIC DREAM had his big day when landing the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh over two years ago, just getting the better of Broome who had finished in front of Noel Meade's charge in three previous clashes in early 2021. The selection hasn't really made any impression in five starts since, four of them last year and the other when never a factor on his reappearance at Leopardstown in April. Trip and ground will suit here, though, and it's a good opportunity for him to get back on track. Didn'thavemuchtodo is best in at the weights and went close in a Listed contest over course and distance last term before running creditably in a strong Group 2 on easy ground at the Curragh. She'll be all the better for her comeback third at Navan but very testing ground would be a concern. Londoner ran okay on soft to heavy ground when fourth in a Derby trial in May but has been well held in good class handicaps since.

DIDN'THAVEMUCHTODO has plenty in her favour after a good comeback run and could be hard to beat. 3-y-o Londoner is put up as the danger although the betting will be revealing.

In giving the vote to the 2021 Tattersalls Gold Cup winner HELVIC DREAM one has to overcome reservations based on subsequent form

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.62/1 -103%) Isle Of Jura	1.62 1.62/1(-103%)	(1) Isle Of Jura 1.62/1, Showed much improved form to make a mockery of his opening mark in 16-runner handicap at Newbury (8f, good) last week, quickened around 4/5 lengths before being heavily eased close home. Will go on improving and promises to follow up. Easy winner in big field at Newbury last week; up 12lb but may well follow up.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +33%) Hey Lyla	12 12/1(+33%)	(3) Hey Lyla 12/1, Made most of good opportunity when shedding maiden tag in an Ayr maiden (7.2f) in May. Hasn't scaled same heights in handicaps subsequently but the assessor continues to relinquish his grip. Won Ayr maiden in May but has cut little ice in three handicaps since.
3	5 3rd (5) (2.75/1 +17%) Sherood	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(5) Sherood 2.75/1, Shaped with some promise in 7f novices, finishing with running left at Haydock on most recent outing, and appeals as the sort to do better now handicapping. Retains potential on handicap debut after three runs over 7f; interesting contender.
4	2 4th (2) (8/1 +6%) Oh Herberts Reign	8 8/1(+6%)	(2) Oh Herberts Reign 8/1, Having fallen a long way in the weights, took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 9 at Goodwood (9f) in June, despite needing a stronger gallop. Ran to a similar level when third at Epsom 6 weeks later, albeit well placed. Sliding in the weights and may build on third of ten at Epsom nine days ago.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 +60%) Onemorenomore	16 16/1(+60%)	(8) Onemorenomore 16/1, Fair maiden who ran creditably when second in a Brighton maiden in June. Folded tamely on York handicap debut since. Back down in trip. Possibly didn't stay 1m2f+ last time; still lightly raced but needs to hit a new high.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 +30%) Hotspur Harry	14 14/1(+30%)	(4) Hotspur Harry 14/1, In better heart than recent form figures suggests, doing best of those held up when fourth of 10 in 8.3f handicap at Nottingham (good to firm) 30 days ago. This looks a warmer race, though. Has run creditably on all three starts here; each-way hopes especially if the ground dries.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 +30%) Lexington Hero	14 14/1(+30%)	(9) Lexington Hero 14/1, Successful on second start at Wolverhampton in February but has been consistent rather than progressive since. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has finished in the second half of the field in three turf runs; now wears headgear.
8th	7 8th (7) (8.5/1 +15%) Juryman	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(7) Juryman 8.5/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark at Doncaster in April. Below form next 2 outings but shaped as if back in form when fourth of 10 in 7f handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 23 days ago, faring best of those held up after typically slow start. Can make presence felt with a repeat. Hasn't built on a winning handicap debut; needs to improve for today's longer trip.
9th	6 9th (6) (50/1 +0%) Universi Dominici	50 50/1(+0%)	(6) Universi Dominici 50/1, Fair maiden who was well held after 9 months off in 7f handicap at Leicester 30 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind on first run for yard after leaving John Butler. Hard to fancy on form but pedigree suggests this longer trip could suit; new trainer.

LTO Selection:

The unexposed ISLE OF JURA showed plenty of encouragement when scoring on his handicap bow at Newbury last Friday and a reproduction of that effort can see him firmly in the picture. Even though he is rated 12lb higher for that success, the fact he was eased down inside the final furlong left the impression there is much more in his locker. Sherood makes his handicap debut following a fair third at Haydock most recently and is feared, while Oh Herberts Reign completes the shortlist.

ISLE OF JURA was value for considerably more than the winning margin at Newbury last week and is very hard to oppose on the back of that impressive display. Of the opposition, Sherood is in good hands and looks the sort to take his form up a notch now handicapping, while Juryman may prove best of the rest.

Easy Newbury winner Isle Of Jura may follow up but he faces an unexposed type in SHEROOD who can improve for today's longer trip.

1	2 1st (2) (2.25/1 +36%) Ghaly	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(2) Ghaly 2.25/1, Proved better than ever in light campaign last year, landing two of his 3 starts with the form of his Newmarket success in October working out well. Shaped better than result in Royal Hunt Cup at this C&D on return, doing too much too soon, so he's not one to take lightly. Only midfield in C&D Royal Hunt Cup but previous win worked out well; high on the list.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +25%) Major Partnership	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Major Partnership 12/1, After 3 months off, recorded a first success in over 3 year when scoring cosily at Nottingham (8.3f) in June. Ran creditably in a stronger race when sixth of 15 at Sandown 3 weeks ago, so he can give another good account but more needed to resume winning ways. Only sixth of 15 at Sandown last time; yard has more obvious claims with Ghaly.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/1 +25%) Storm Catcher	9 9/1(+25%)	(7) Storm Catcher 9/1, Completed a hat-trick at Chelmsford (all at 10f) during the winter, with his latest success in February. Holding his form well since, running creditably when second back at Chelmsford last time, albeit no match for the impressive winner. Faces stiffer task now upped in grade. Running well on AW but probably better at 1m2f and turf record stands at 0-4.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 +14%) Akhu Najla	6 6/1(+14%)	(5) Akhu Najla 6/1, Very-expensive yearling and was an impressive winner of a Yarmouth maiden (1m) in April last year on his second outing. Didn't go on from that effort in his two remaining starts of the season, but he could yet do better on his return from 10 months off. Well-bred colt; promising last spring; returns from layoff and could still be unexposed.
5th	4 5th (4) (7.5/1 +53%) Empirestateofmind	7.5 7.5/1(+53%)	(4) Empirestateofmind 7.5/1, Improved in the second half of 2022, following success at Thirsk (1m) with a trio of good runner-up efforts. Also finished second at Newmarket in April and could get back to form this time around, having possibly needed the run after 8 weeks off on his latest outing. Beaten narrowly at Newmarket in April but hasn't repeated form; needs to get back on track.
7th	10 7th (10) (6.5/1 -8%) Lowton	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(10) Lowton 6.5/1, Shaped well on debut and didn't need to improve to land the odds in maiden at Leicester (7f) next time. Only narrowly followed up in minor event at Newcastle last month, though showed good attitude to lead close home in a slowly-run race. Remains with potential now handicapping. 2-3; improved to score at Newcastle last month; retains potential but this is much tougher.
8th	8 8th (8) (8/1 +33%) Spirit Catcher	8 8/1(+33%)	(8) Spirit Catcher 8/1, Twelve runs since his last win in 2022, but ran well when second at Redcar and Newcastle (both at 1m) on his first 2 starts this season. Run best excused when well held at Ripon last week having been carried wide by loose horse, so no surprise to see him get back on track. Latest run can be ignored (badly hampered); would be dangerous if getting an easy lead.
9th	9 9th (9) (12/1 +45%) Mr Mistoffelees	12 12/1(+45%)	(9) Mr Mistoffelees 12/1, Progressive at 2 yrs, getting off the mark at Kempton (1m) in December. Ran well in defeat on first 2 starts this term, not beaten far when mid-field in London Gold Cup at Newbury (10f). Didn't get home upped in trip at Royal Ascot last time, but needs to resume progress back at 1m. Needs a personal best but had an excuse last time and this drop in trip may suit.

LTO Selection:

GHALY gave weight and a beating to subsequent Listed winner King Of Conquest at Newmarket in October, and he was from disgraced off this mark in the Royal Hunt Cup 38 days ago. The lightly-raced seven-year-old could have more in the locker and he is preferred to the progressive Lattam, while handicap debutant Lowton should not be underestimated at the foot of the weights. Spanish raider Rodaballo is also noted.

LATTAM has shown improved form in handicaps over 1m this year, overcoming the run of the race when scoring at Newcastle a month ago, and he can land his third success of the season. The main danger could be Ghaly, who shaped well in the Royal Hunt Cup here on his return, while Lowton also merits consideration upped in trip for his handicap debut.

The two to concentrate on are Ghaly and LATTAM, the latter having a fine opportunity to enhance an already impressive strike-rate.

2	5 2nd (5) (5.5/1 +21%) Non Mollare	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(5) Non Mollare 5.5/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 7/2, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f). Off 95 days. Not dismissed. Two Tapeta wins this year but she's not easy to predict and didn't really fire last time.
3	7 3rd (7) (6/1 +50%) Pop Favorite	6 6/1(+50%)	(7) Pop Favorite 6/1, Latest win here in June. Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 12/1) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Can get involved if things drop right. Won over C&D last month but he's not made an impact in two runs at Wolverhampton since.
4	9 4th (9) (10/1 +50%) Darker	10 10/1(+50%)	(9) Darker 10/1, 14/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in minor event at Ayr (8f, good) 20 days ago. Hard to make a solid case for. Maiden who has not finished closer than fifth and has missed the break in last two runs.
5th	8 5th (8) (12/1 -9%) Love Destiny	12 12/1(-9%)	(8) Love Destiny 12/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 17/2) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not discounted. His last win was in 2021 and has finished down the field in all of his runs this year.
6th	2 6th (2) (28/1 -40%) Shifter	28 28/1(-40%)	(2) Shifter 28/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, soft, 8/1). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Stuart Williams. Likely to need the run. On dangerous mark for new yard but she comes with risks attached after 289 days off.
7th	1 7th (1) (4.5/1 -29%) Addie Boo Boo	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(1) Addie Boo Boo 4.5/1, First run since leaving Darryll Holland when respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Well treated and likely to strip fitter for latest effort, so worth taking a chance on. Made a promising start for Mick Appleby last month and looks interesting back up in trip.
8th	4 8th (4) (16/1 -129%) Amourie	16 16/1(-129%)	(4) Amourie 16/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap (15/8) at Southwell (11.1f). Off 102 days. Down in trip. Type to bounce back quickly. Three 1m4f wins but she was disappointing last time and looks opposable back at this trip.
9th	10 9th (10) (150/1 -127%) Fighting Chance	150 150/1(-127%)	(10) Fighting Chance 150/1, 150/1, last of 10 in handicap at this course (5f). Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Others preferred. Poor form in his 11 starts; has had wind surgery and cheekpieces are added on his return.
10th	3 10th (3) (3/1 -20%) Streetscape	3 3/1(-20%)	(3) Streetscape 3/1, Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (15/2) at Ayr (10f, good) 20 days ago. Can make presence felt. 0-9 but he's been consistent in handicaps and is respected back at this trip.

LTO Selection:

Runner-up in two of her last three starts, this represents a good opportunity for AMOURIE to resume winning ways, even though she hasn't been seen since April. The seven-year-old remains 3lb above her last winning mark but is taken to get the better of Streetscape, who finished a fair fourth over 1m2f at Ayr earlier this month. Non Mollare completes the shortlist marginally down in distance.

ADDIE BOO BOO is handicapped to win and shaped as if retaining plenty of ability when fourth at Lingfield on debut for this stable, so she's worth chancing. Streetscape arrives in form and looks a major threat, while Amourie is expected to be back on her game after a break.

Better for return when second at Chester in May but soft ground would be a slight concern. Creditable second of ten at Chester (1m4f, good) on latest outing; usual hood is removed.
3	7 3rd (7) (2.75/1 +45%) Gibside	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(7) Gibside 2.75/1, Pair of 1½m Ripon wins last summer and added to his tally when a smooth winner at Carlisle in June. Caught too far back in the Cumberland Plate back there next time but quickly resuming winning ways over C&D 2 weeks ago despite a slow start. Remains of interest. Both wins this summer came in quite taking style and the latest was over C&D.
4	4 4th (4) (8/1 +50%) Cormier	8 8/1(+50%)	(4) Cormier 8/1, Dual purpose performer who added to his tally at Chester (1¼m) last July. Has struggled in varied events since but did at least halt the slide (following wind op) when fourth in 8-runner handicap back at that venue (11.3f, soft) 15 days ago. Task now is to build on that. Made an encouraging return to the Flat 15 days ago after wind surgery and 132-day absence.
5th	3 5th (3) (4/1 +67%) Two Brothers	4 4/1(+67%)	(3) Two Brothers 4/1, Career best when winning 14-runner Cumberland Plate at Carlisle (11f, soft) and shaped as if still in good form at Chester since, the step up in trip on testing ground stretching him.

7th	5 7th (5) (50/1 +0%) Grand Scheme	50 50/1(+0%)	(5) Grand Scheme 50/1, Twice a winner on the Flat last summer for Richard Hannon.

8th	8 8th (8) (8/1 +60%) Feel The Need	8 8/1(+60%)	(8) Feel The Need 8/1, Fairly useful 7f juvenile winner who resumed after 7 months off/gelded with an excellent second of six in 7.5f Beverley handicap. Efforts since have been a bit underwhelming, however (high head carriage). Carries his head high; shaped last time as if worth a go at 1m4f; others are preferred.
9th	9 9th (9) (20/1 -122%) Gastronomy	20 20/1(-122%)	(9) Gastronomy 20/1, Good second in Ripon handicap over this trip on yard debut at the beginning of June but unable to build on that both starts since, 4½ lengths fourth of 10 to Gibside in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 15 days ago. 6 lb better off with winner here. Not that far away in his 1m4f handicaps; fourth to Gibside over C&D (good to soft) latest.

LTO Selection:

Enthrallment and recent C&D winner Gibside have a lot going for them and, along with the reliable Two Brothers, they warrant serious consideration. However, both Bulldog Spirit and DUBAI CRYSTAL get weight from their elder rivals and that could be a crucial factor. The last-named appeals as the stronger of the two on these terms and, given that her dam was third in the Oaks, this longer trip is likely to suit the Karl Burke-trained filly.

This looks competitive but improving 3-y-o WHATACRACKER could be the answer given the manner of his success at Carlisle last time. Enthrallment and Gibside also arrive on the back of career-best runs so they head the dangers.

This month's clearcut C&D winner GIBSIDE is the most persuasive option, ahead of Two Brothers.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.75/1 -27%) May Blossom	1.75 1.75/1(-27%)	(1) May Blossom 1.75/1, 3-time winner last term and was back on the up at Nottingham last time, finishing strongly to lead late. Small rise might not be enough to stop her following up. 6-36, latest win at Nottingham 11 days ago; should be thereabouts again.
2	3 2nd (3) (6.5/1 -117%) Han Solo Berger	6.5 6.5/1(-117%)	(3) Han Solo Berger 6.5/1, C&D winner who has generally held is form since scoring at Southwell in April but looks vulnerable to less-exposed rivals. 8yo who retains plenty of enthusiasm; in form and goes well here; could be the answer.
3	6 3rd (6) (4.5/1 +18%) Harry With Style	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(6) Harry With Style 4.5/1, Sprang a surprise to score at Bath in April and stepped up markedly from his return after a short break to score at Yarmouth earlier this month. Good third there since, so another solid showing is on the cards. 3yo; two wins from last four starts; ran creditably here last weekend; shortlisted.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 -64%) Lilkian	18 18/1(-64%)	(7) Lilkian 18/1, Scored at Kempton earlier this month but followed it with a tame effort at Yarmouth and, based on his overall turf record, he's best watched. 0-7 on turf and ran poorly last time but has claims on narrow defeat at Yarmouth in June.
5th	8 5th (8) (3.5/1 +42%) Gustav Graves	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(8) Gustav Graves 3.5/1, 4/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Gives his running more often than not and this is a thin race, so he's likely to be on the premises. Knocking at the door and Adam Farragher is a strong booking; could have a say.
6th	4 6th (4) (8/1 +60%) Triple Jaye	8 8/1(+60%)	(4) Triple Jaye 8/1, Landed a big-field Ayr handicap with a bit up her sleeve in September but below form since, including both starts this term. Hard to make a case for. Won in a big field at Ayr last autumn but not in the same form since.
7th	5 7th (5) (28/1 -40%) Man On A Mission	28 28/1(-40%)	(5) Man On A Mission 28/1, Had a productive winter on AW but there was little encouragement to be gleaned from his return from a break at Yarmouth recently. Others make more appeal. Major contender on AW form but unplaced all five turf outings.
8th	2 8th (2) (25/1 -56%) Afterlife	25 25/1(-56%)	(2) Afterlife 25/1, Winner for John Gosden but hasn't offered much for current yard, so has a bit to prove. Well held in two runs since joining this stable; cheekpieces on.

LTO Selection:

May Blossom kept on gamely to score at Nottingham on her latest outing, but she has gone up 3lb for that success, so a chance is taken on the class-dropping AFTERLIFE. Connections reach for first-time cheekpieces in an attempt to see their gelded son of Kodiac bounce back and he is taken to get the better of the first-mentioned dropping in class. Han Solo Berger heads the remainder.

MAY BLOSSOM rattled home to get up at Nottingham last time and, provided the pace is solid again, she's capable of following up. Gustav Graves is a consistent type who should pose a threat and Harry With Style is worth noting given he arrives on the up.

It's hard to make a watertight case for any of these but HAN SOLO BERGER runs the track well and may regain the winning thread.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (16/1 +20%) Intrinsic Bond	16 16/1(+20%)	(10) Intrinsic Bond 16/1, Won the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last year ut has only fired once from 5 starts this season. More needed having left Tracy Waggott since his latest outing. Not a solid option on recent evidence; needs to be revived by a recent stable switch.
2	7 2nd (7) (5.5/1 -22%) Significantly	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(7) Significantly 5.5/1, C&D winner ar Royal Ascot in 2021 and with cheekpieces applied, he improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm, 4/1) 23 days ago by ½ length from Khunan. Still not long with this yard and there's plenty to like about his chances. Goes well here; revitalised since joining current yard; leading contender.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 +0%) Bond Chairman	10 10/1(+0%)	(3) Bond Chairman 10/1, Proved better than ever, on return from 9 months off, when narrowly taking 8-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm) 41 days ago. 3 lb rise fair but this looks a much deeper contest. Fourth last year; up only 3lb for Doncaster win but this race is more competitive.
4	12 4th (12) (11/1 -10%) Call Me Ginger	11 11/1(-10%)	(12) Call Me Ginger 11/1, Scored 3 times last year (including over this C&D). Becoming well treated and wasn't really seen to best effect at Ayr earlier in the month, though others still look more persuasive despite his tempting mark. Last year's winner; under the radar this year but shaped last time as if about to peak.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 +20%) Kimngrace	16 16/1(+20%)	(5) Kimngrace 16/1, Successful in listed company at Lingfield in February. Yet to build on that performance, though again had excuses on softer ground when down the field at Newmarket last time, finding herself isolated from the main group. In better heart than form figures suggest and she's respected. Unplaced since Lingfield win in February; needs to rediscover her spark after a break.
6th	15 6th (15) (10/1 +29%) Rock Melody	10 10/1(+29%)	(15) Rock Melody 10/1, Has won twice over 5f at Musselburgh this summer and has held her form well in defeat both starts since, again running with credit when- third of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Hamilton (6f, good) 8 days ago. In good heart but this is a stronger contest than she usually contests. Two wins at Musselburgh and has remained in form; return to 5f should be ideal.
7th	8 7th (8) (2.25/1 +63%) Rhythm N Hooves	2.25 2.25/1(+63%)	(8) Rhythm N Hooves 2.25/1, Very progressive on AW early this year, winning at Newcastle in March and Chelmsford in April. Translated that progress to turf, producing a career best to land a 26-runner C&D handicap at Royal Ascot (good to firm, 12/1) 36 days ago. 9 lb rise makes things tougher but he can't be ruled out. Won in big field over C&D at Royal meeting; may not have reached his ceiling just yet.
8th	4 8th (4) (28/1 -12%) Arecibo	28 28/1(-12%)	(4) Arecibo 28/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2021, albeit having kept some good company in that time. 25/1, 4¼ lengths tenth of 15 to The Big Board in handicap at this C&D (soft) 14 days ago. Others are more persuasive at present. Very well handicapped on pick of 2021 form but 0-20 since and carries obvious risks.
9th	11 9th (11) (18/1 -29%) Isle Of Lismore	18 18/1(-29%)	(11) Isle Of Lismore 18/1, Consistent this season, gaining deserved first success of the year in 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f, good) 8 days ago. That effort represented a career-best but has work to do to overcome 7 lb higher mark now. Clearcut winner at Newmarket but this is much stronger and he's up 7lb in the weights..
10th	1 10th (1) (18/1 -80%) Existent	18 18/1(-80%)	(1) Existent 18/1, Highly tried since winning a pair of AW handicaps early last year but shaped with some promise switched back to handicaps when 2½ lengths fifth of 15 to The Big Board at this C&D (soft) 14 days ago, faring best of those held up. Not fully ruled out. Often runs in Group races; close fifth here two weeks ago; unlikely to be far away.
11th	2 11th (2) (66/1 -450%) Dusky Lord	66 66/1(-450%)	(2) Dusky Lord 66/1, Proved a revelation with cheekpieces refitted when landing the Ayr Silver Cup (6f) in fine style. Has since left Roger Varian but 9 lb rise may not be enough to stop him if able to back that performance up here after 10-month absence. Tongue strap applied. Last seen winning Ayr Silver Cup last autumn for Roger Varian; first-time tongue-tie.
12th	6 12th (6) (20/1 +20%) Bergerac	20 20/1(+20%)	(6) Bergerac 20/1, Reacted well to blinkers when winning back-to-back handicaps at Newmarket and York last summer. Sparingly seen and hasn't made much impact this season, and though headgear is reapplied here, he's probably better over further and needs to up his game to make a serious impression. Well held for inexperienced riders this year but may benefit from return of Neil Callan.
13th	9 13th (9) (5/1 -11%) The Big Board	5 5/1(-11%)	(9) The Big Board 5/1, Most progressive this season, notching her third win of season in a 15-runner handicap (22/1) at this C&D (soft) 14 days ago. That effort represented a career best and she can give another good account. 3yo; further improvement when beating her 14 rivals over C&D two weeks ago; major player.
14th	13 14th (13) (50/1 -79%) Night On Earth	50 50/1(-79%)	(13) Night On Earth 50/1, Won on final start for Michael Appleby last summer but hasn't particularly recaptured that form for his current connections, only sixth of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Windsor (5.1f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Yet to shine for current stable and unplaced all five starts this year; tongue-strap on.

LTO Selection:

Having recorded a narrow success in the Palace of Holyroodhouse Stakes here in June, RHYTHM N HOOVES confirmed himself as a sprinter on the improve. He's 9lb higher and faces some battle-hardened speedsters today, but it's unlikely he has reached his ceiling just yet and further progress could be on the cards. The Big Board has been similarly progressive in recent starts and must go on the shortlist, along with Doncaster scorer Bond Chairman. Call Me Ginger is now rated 1lb lower than for last year's triumph in this and can't be ruled out.

Plenty here hold strong claims, though former Royal Ascot winner SIGNIFICANTLY perhaps makes most appeal. The five-year-old appears to have been freshened by a recent stable switch to the fine Julie Camacho yard and has the benefit of useful claimer Ryan Sexton offsetting some of the weight added for his recent Haydock win. Recent C&D winners The Big Board and Rhythm N Hooves could well prove capable of improving further, whilst Kimngrace, Khunan and the returning Dusky Lord also merit respect.

Improving 3yo The Big Board is feared but SIGNIFICANTLY is taken to enhance a good C&D record by following up a recent Haydock win.

1	3 1st (3) (4/1 -14%) Little Ted	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Little Ted 4/1, Unreliable individual. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good) 19 days ago, slowly away. Chance if rediscovering old form. Has claims on his best form this season and he's still unexposed on AW; in the mix.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 +25%) Mr Strutter	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(2) Mr Strutter 2.25/1, 16/1, improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at this C&D 30 days ago by 1½ lengths from Reclaim Victory, driven out. Should take the beating again. Recorded his 13th career win when scoring over C&D last month; big player again up 4lb.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.33/1 -11%) Reclaim Victory	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(1) Reclaim Victory 3.33/1, C&D winner. 6/1, good 1½ lengths second of 14 to Mr Strutter in handicap at this C&D 30 days ago, no match for winner. Enters calculations. Won this race last year and was runner-up back over C&D last time; key player.
4	10 4th (10) (80/1 -60%) Tarnhelm	80 80/1(-60%)	(10) Tarnhelm 80/1, Three wins from 75 Flat runs. Forty one runs since last win in 2020. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good to soft, 22/1) 21 days ago, very slowly away. Hard to make a case for. Her last win was in 2020 and has been out of sorts in her last nine runs; opposable.
5th	8 5th (8) (22/1 -38%) The Writer	22 22/1(-38%)	(8) The Writer 22/1, Unreliable sort. Last of 7 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm, 16/1) 32 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Visor back on. Something to prove. Nine-race maiden who has struggled in last three runs and has plenty to prove back at 1m.
6th	5 6th (5) (6.5/1 -8%) Mekbat	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(5) Mekbat 6.5/1, Creditable 4½ lengths seventh of 14 to Mr Strutter in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 30 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not dismissed in a weak race. On reduced mark but he's 0-9 and needs to find more with blinkers added.
7th	4 7th (4) (28/1 +30%) Wheal Kitty	28 28/1(+30%)	(4) Wheal Kitty 28/1, 40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 13 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 29 days ago. Back down in trip. Others preferred. Has finished a tailed-off last in her last three runs and needs to turn things around.
8th	6 8th (6) (6.5/1 -8%) Beast Of Burden	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(6) Beast Of Burden 6.5/1, Course winner. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, firm, 9/2) 45 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip and hard to know if she'll get home. Lightly raced 4yo who won here in May and had an excuse latest; not ruled out upped to 1m.
9th	7 9th (7) (66/1 +0%) Zandora	66 66/1(+0%)	(7) Zandora 66/1, Eighth of 14 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good, 100/1) 20 days ago. Plenty to prove at present. Eight-race maiden who has yet to finish better than sixth; makes no appeal.
10th	9 10th (9) (16/1 -60%) Mr Coco Bean	16 16/1(-60%)	(9) Mr Coco Bean 16/1, Thirty runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 8 in handicap (10/1) at this course (7.1f) 81 days ago. Makes little appeal. Plenty of good efforts here this year but losing run is now up to 30.

LTO Selection:

A comfortable winner over C&D last month, MR STRUTTER is taken to defy a 4lb rise and can confirm form with the reopposing Reclaim Victory, even though Brian Ellison's inmate is now 3lb better off with the selection. Beast Of Burden reverts to the all-weather following a disappointing run at Hamilton most recently and should also be considered, despite being rated 5lb above her last winning mark.

MR STRUTTER got the better of Reclaim Victory over C&D last time and, with few others in form, they're likely to fight out the finish again with the first-named taken to uphold those placings. The remainder have questions to answer.

May do better still so he merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark. Arrives on back of two good runs at Haydock; thereabouts if handling the softer ground.
2	8 2nd (8) (6.5/1 -18%) Craven	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(8) Craven 6.5/1, Refitted with a visor when opening his account in 8-runner handicap at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Can't be discounted despite taking a 3 lb rise with headgear retained. Bit in and out but came good in 7f Leicester handicap latest; faces softer ground here.
3	17 3rd (17) (28/1 +58%) Reginald Charles	28 28/1(+58%)	(17) Reginald Charles 28/1, Is yet to fire this season, too free in a first-time visor when seventh of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Beaten upwards of 7l when seventh on all three outings this season; best to look elsewhere.

Off 5 months/had wind op before fading ninth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago. Can take a step forward now so he's no forlorn hope off an easing mark. Handicapper in charge since 7f AW win in January.
15th	4 15th (4) (11/1 +31%) Maharajas Express	11 11/1(+31%)	(4) Maharajas Express 11/1, Debut 6f Kempton winner but yet to hit top form this spring, looking ill at ease on the track when eighth of 12 at Lingfield (6f, AW) 113 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for his turf bow and no forlorn hope. Engaged Ascot 3.00 Friday. Hampered on AW handicap debut in April; off since (gelded); turf debut.
16th	3 16th (3) (8.5/1 -55%) Chelsea Square	8.5 8.5/1(-55%)	(3) Chelsea Square 8.5/1, Runner-up in 7f Newbury novice on his debut but below that form since, third of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) 29 days ago. More is needed now going into handicaps. Yet to build on debut second but heads into handicaps as an unexposed sort; yard in form.

LTO Selection:

Sunny Orange put in a much more encouraging display last time over a mile at this track, when beaten just over two lengths into fourth, and it would be no surprise to see him play a role off the same rating. However, the one with the more appealing profile is handicap-debutant CHELSEA SQUARE, who could be up to defying his opening mark if able to reproduce the form of his first career start when second at Newbury. Bajan Bandit and Indian Falcon are others to watch out for.

BAJAN BANDIT has returned an improved model for Grant Tuer in 2023 and can bag a second success for the yard on the back of his very good Haydock fourth. Just Janet failed to build on her stylish Catterick victory when fourth at Wolverhampton last time out but shouldn't be discounted off a still handy-looking mark so is next on the list. Leicester-scorer Craven and the consistent Sunny Orange complete the shortlist in a very open handicap.

1	3 1st (3) (1.38/1 +54%) Abate	1.38 1.38/1(+54%)	(3) Abate 1.38/1, Front-runner who completed a quick double at Hamilton (5f) and Haydock (6f) at the start of the summer. Creditable placed efforts in defeat since and should give another good account. Having another good year and last week's Newmarket 2nd was a sound performance; contender.
2	2 2nd (2) (4.5/1 -64%) Spoof	4.5 4.5/1(-64%)	(2) Spoof 4.5/1, In very good form in the spring, winning over C&D (heavy) and at Ascot. Respectable ninth of 15 back at Ascot last time and he's a big player back in a less competitive scenario. Two wins this spring; creditable run in a much better race at Ascot latest; big chance.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 -20%) Blind Beggar	4 4/1(-20%)	(4) Blind Beggar 4/1, Latest win at Chelmsford in February. 9/4, below-form third of 5 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 60 days ago. Blinkers back on. Poor strike-rate on turf but handles slow ground; would appeal more over further.
4	1 4th (1) (14/1 -211%) May Sonic	14 14/1(-211%)	(1) May Sonic 14/1, Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. Bit below form third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (5f, 13/2) 20 days ago. Has a slightly lower mark to work with on turf. Course winner; mixed record in the last year but he's capable if on a good day.
5th	6 5th (6) (6.5/1 +7%) Lipsink	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(6) Lipsink 6.5/1, Down in the weights but not showing enough to think he's ready to take advantage, beaten 4 lengths when fifth of 7 at Newmarket (5f, good to soft) last time. Conditions to suit; 14lb better off with Spoof on a run here in April (beaten under 3l).
6th	5 6th (5) (8/1 +43%) So Smart	8 8/1(+43%)	(5) So Smart 8/1, Won in the mud at Leicester last autumn but form rather up and down so far this term, running below par when sixth of 11 at Nottingham last time. Not at his best the last twice and minor money perhaps his best hope.

LTO Selection:

ABATE has posted several creditable efforts in defeat of late and Adrian Nicholls' gelding shouldn't mind this return to 5f. The seven-year-old looks the one to beat, with Blind Beggar feared most. The son of Equiano has plenty of form in underfoot conditions and any further rain could increase his chance of success. So Smart has been given some respite by the handicapper and could also have a say in the finish too.

SPOOF should find this easier than trying to dominate a big field at Ascot last time and might be good for C&D win number four. Abate has had a cracking spell this summer and may provide the chief threat ahead of the selection's former stablemate May Sonic.

This is a drop in grade for SPOOF and he can register his fourth C&D success.

First run since leaving Keith Dalgleish when respectable sixth of 13 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 4 days ago. Can take a step forward now.

Latest win at Southwell in January. 20/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 10 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Three AW wins at start of this year but safely held when back on turf last week.

9th	10 9th (10) (50/1 +0%) Raphel Jake	50 50/1(+0%)	(10) Raphel Jake 50/1, 50/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Others appeal more. In rear throughout when 50-1 for selling handicap at Lingfield on Wednesday.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (40/1 +20%) Sir Plato	40 40/1(+20%)	(2) Sir Plato 40/1, Last of 11 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good, 50/1) 22 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Out of sorts for new stable this year (four runs); has a lot to prove.

LTO Selection:

Breguet Boy didn't make the cleanest of starts on the all-weather earlier in the week and is arguably a lot better than the bare form suggests. The quick turnaround suggests more can be expected and, along with the consistent Villalobos, he rates as a serious player. However, the ground conditions have come right for VOLTAIC and, off 11lb lower than his last winning mark, Tony Carroll's gelding is too well handicapped to ignore.

VILLALOBOS wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Bath last time and is fancied to capitialise on a 1 lb lower mark here and resume winning ways at the chief expense of C&D winner Magical Dancer. Breguet Boy can also have a say if as expected building on his debut run for Archie Watson.

The most appealing option in this rather uncompetitive opener is VILLALOBOS, who has been very consistent since his AW win in March.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (4.5/1 -29%) Tan Rapido	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(8) Tan Rapido 4.5/1, Bred to be speedy and shaped accordingly when second of 7 in minor event (16/1) at Newcastle (5f) on debut 28 days ago. Open to progress. The form of his Newcastle second (5f AW) has taken some knocks but he shaped very nicely.
2	5 2nd (5) (0.57/1 +48%) Nazron	0.57 0.57/1(+48%)	(5) Nazron 0.57/1, Well backed and shaped well when third of 9 in minor event (5/4) at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) on debut 21 days ago, trading as low as 1.34 in-running. Sure to improve, possibly by quite a lot. Slowly away and unfavoured by his track position when third at Nottingham; went off 5-4.
3	9 3rd (9) (4/1 +20%) Hot Front	4 4/1(+20%)	(9) Hot Front 4/1, Soldier's Call filly who produced a promising first effort when second of 9 in maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm). Outclassed in Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot subsequently but player back in calmer waters. Drawn 1 when nowhere in the Queen Mary; debut effort brings her into it.
4	3 4th (3) (28/1 -40%) Dark Fandango	28 28/1(-40%)	(3) Dark Fandango 28/1, Twice-raced colt. 14/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 48 days ago, not knocked about. Likely more a nursery type. Still a work in progress and perhaps nurseries will see him in a better light.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -14%) Meet Me In Meraki	16 16/1(-14%)	(4) Meet Me In Meraki 16/1, Showed a bit under a considerate ride when seventh of 10 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good) on debut 7 days ago. Open to improvement. Always out the back and never dangerous at Newbury (6f, good; 80-1).
6th	2 6th (2) (66/1 -100%) Dadas Boy	66 66/1(-100%)	(2) Dadas Boy 66/1, Very green when well held in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good, 8/1) on debut 10 days ago. Virtually unrideable on exiting the stalls at Bath and finished completely tailed off.
7th	1 7th (1) (18/1 -13%) Chapman	18 18/1(-13%)	(1) Chapman 18/1, Eighth of 10 in minor event (14/1) at Leicester (5f, good) on debut 60 days ago. Hooded/tongue strap on for 1st time. Should do better. Out of a useful 6f winner but he made a low-key start when eighth of ten at Leicester.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 -38%) Piper's Fort	22 22/1(-38%)	(6) Piper's Fort 22/1, Kodiac colt who shaped as if better for the run when sixth of 9 in minor event at Nottingham (5f, good to soft, 15/2) on debut 21 days ago. Should improve. Seemed to know his job at Nottingham but still finished well behind Nazron.

LTO Selection:

NAZRON should have learned plenty from his debut third at Nottingham three weeks ago and this appears a suitable opportunity for the colt to gain a breakthrough success. Hot Front shouldn't be underestimated having found the Queen Mary beyond her at Royal Ascot in June and better is expected in these calmer waters. Tan Rapido offered something to work with when second on his opening bid at Newcastle earlier this month and completes the shortlist.

NAZRON impressed with the way he travelled for all he couldn't justify strong market support on his Nottingham debut and, with plenty of improvement anticipated, he's selected to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Tan Rapido fared best of the newcomers when runner-up at Newcastle 4 weeks ago and must enter the reckoning, along with Hot Front, who should appreciate this drop back in grade.

Not a lot went right at Nottingham for hot favourite NAZRON and he can show his true colours this time.

2	6 2nd (6) (4.5/1 -29%) Kingswood Flyer	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(6) Kingswood Flyer 4.5/1, Twice-raced colt. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fourth of 7 in minor event at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 3/1) 43 days ago. May do better still. One to consider. Came from off the pace to make the frame on both 5f starts; 6f seems likely to suit.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 +7%) First Encore	7 7/1(+7%)	(4) First Encore 7/1, Sixth of 8 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 9/1) on debut 23 days ago. Should progress so he needs considering. Newbury debut not devoid of promise and today's race looks a bit easier.
4	5 4th (5) (22/1 -10%) Hedge Fund	22 22/1(-10%)	(5) Hedge Fund 22/1, Ninth of 13 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 33/1) on debut 12 days ago, slowly away. May well do better. Never really looked dangerous on recent Windsor debut but wasn't beaten far.
6th	10 6th (10) (16/1 +36%) The Smiling Wolf	16 16/1(+36%)	(10) The Smiling Wolf 16/1, Twice-raced colt. Seventh of 13 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 11/1) 12 days ago. More is needed. Very respectable seventh at Windsor recently; in the mix with any further improvement.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 -25%) Tactical Control	50 50/1(-25%)	(8) Tactical Control 50/1, 20/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW) on debut 37 days ago. Needs a big step forwward. Has nice pedigree but was in rear throughout when 20-1 for last month's Lingfield debut.
9th	3 9th (3) (7/1 -40%) Enpassant	7 7/1(-40%)	(3) Enpassant 7/1, Twice-raced colt. 13/2, good third of 7 in maiden at Ffos Las (6f, good) 25 days ago. Not ruled out. Weakened on debut but looked more streetwise when third at Ffos Las this month.
11th	2 11th (2) (80/1 -21%) Dash Power	80 80/1(-21%)	(2) Dash Power 80/1, Twice-raced colt. 50/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Lots more is needed. Showed some speed before weakening last time but others have much stronger claims.

LTO Selection:

Those with previous experience have all shaped as if they will do better when they contest handicaps and, with that in mind, the Juddmonte-owned TASK FORCE may have been found an ideal starting point. The son of Frankel has a cross of speed and stamina in his pedigree and, given his Champagne Stakes entry, he could be anything. Cajetan is another noteworthy debutant to consider, while Enpassant appeals most of those boasting experience.

Ralph Beckett's TASK FORCE catches the eye on paper and holds an entry in Doncaster's Group 2 Champagne Stakes so is taken to go in at the first time of asking. First Encore looks to have more to offer so rates the pick of those with experience ahead of Kingswood Flyer and Enpassant who can fight it out for minor honours.

Not the finished article when making the frame over 5f on his first two starts, KINGSWOOD FLYER may come good on this first 6f attempt.

Out of his depth both starts since but in calmer waters now and must enter calculations. Gelded since last seen. Sets the standard on first two runs (including soft); highly tried since; has been gelded.

8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 -57%) Red Chatan	22 22/1(-57%)	(6) Red Chatan 22/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in minor event (22/1) at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 12 days ago. Improvement required. Promise when 5th of 13 over C&D on debut (good); open to improvement.
9th	3 9th (3) (200/1 -100%) Head's Gone Pal	200 200/1(-100%)	(3) Head's Gone Pal 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 8 in minor event (125/1) at Salisbury (7f, soft) 14 days ago. Offered little in two runs this summer and can't be recommended.
10th	1 10th (1) (2.5/1 -25%) Empire Of Light	2.5 2.5/1(-25%)	(1) Empire Of Light 2.5/1, Promising type. Much improved from debut when winning 9-runner minor event at Newmarket (6f, good) 30 days ago, battling well. May well do better yet. Made most to win at Newmarket last month; penalised but still open to improvement.

LTO Selection:

EMPIRE OF LIGHT posted a polished performance when recording an opening victory at Newmarket last month and a 4lb penalty may not prevent Charlie Johnston's colt from completing a brace. Shayekh has undergone a gelding operation since flying too high in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot in June and is another to consider in these calmer waters, with Townsend Manor making most appeal of the remainder.

EMPIRE OF LIGHT showed a good attitude when opening his account at Newmarket last month and likely has more to give yet. He can score again. Shayekh and Townsend Manor rate the principal dangers.

Leaves Of Grass could take a big step forward but the well-bred newcomer INSIGNIA gets the tentative vote.

LTO Selection:

The handicapper hasn't taken much of a chance with Ishani and the lightly-raced four-year-old is considered on her handicap debut. However, the form of ALPINE GIRL's last start is working out and, assuming she can continue to progress now switched back to turf, there could be a lot more to come from this daughter of Acclamation. Bath winner Thank The Lord rates as another to place high on the shortlist, with Firenze Rosa not ruled out either.

THANK THE LORD captured this contest a year ago and amother bold showing is on the cards on the back of his recent career-best Bath success. Firenze Rosa is feared most now the handicapper is showing some respite while Destiny's Spirit is also weighted to go well if shrugging off a below-par Haydock run last time out.

Ground conditions are a query for 2022 winner Thank The Lord but they shouldn't hold back ALPINE GIRL who still has potential.

LTO Selection:

There was a lot to like about MONTAUK POINT's first triumph for new connections at Salisbury a fortnight ago and she is fancied to make light work of her opening mark on this first foray in handicaps. Parisiac is a versatile performer with regards to ground and Alice Haynes' inmate also enters the reckoning if conditions were to deteriorate. Society Lion takes a drop in class and can't be discounted either.

The Meade stable won this last year and might be able to repeat the feat courtesy of MONTAUK POINT, who won quite nicely in novice company on her recent first outing for the yard and looks speedy enough to cope with the drop to sprinting for her handicap debut. Fellow 3-y-o Nogo's Dream is second choice ahead of the likeable Airshow.

Montauk Point is the unknown quantity but NOGO'S DREAM (nap) looks more than capable of winning handicaps off this mark.

LTO Selection:

PRIMEVAL is a beautifully-bred filly who comfortably accounted for her rivals on debut at Doncaster. With normal improvement, she could prove very hard to beat. More was expected from Many A Year on debut at this track over 7f, but he could improve plenty from that first outing to get involved over a furlong shorter. 62,000gns purchase Love Lies warrants a market check too.

A thin novice and hard to oppose the well-bred PRIMEVAL, who looked a good prospect when making a winning debut at Doncaster. Many A Year showed something to work on here 2 weeks ago. while Love Lies is a newcomer to note.

This has the look of a very weak novice and a golden opportunity for the promising PRIMEVAL to follow up her debut win.

3	6 3rd (6) (10/1 -100%) Outrace	10 10/1(-100%)	(6) Outrace 10/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Bath (8f, good, 20/1) under this pilot 17 days ago, well ridden. Remains fairly treated and should give another good account. Two close calls and a win from latest 3 runs at 1m; needs to prove he acts on soft ground.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 -113%) Silver Nightfall	16 16/1(-113%)	(3) Silver Nightfall 16/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Newcastle in March.

5th	7 5th (7) (4/1 +33%) Garrick Street	4 4/1(+33%)	(7) Garrick Street 4/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, soft, 22/1) 15 days ago, hampered. Warrants respect. Promising on AW; best turf form when a hampered 4th at Chester (soft); can have a big say.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/1 +7%) Ibiza Love	7 7/1(+7%)	(2) Ibiza Love 7/1, 40/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Others look better treated. Won at about 6f as 2yo; no progress in handicaps since; new trip; ground worry.
7th	4 7th (4) (14/1 -40%) Classic Speed	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) Classic Speed 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Ascot (8f, soft, 33/1) 78 days ago. Others have achieved more.

9th	8 9th (8) (8/1 +20%) Shot Of Love	8 8/1(+20%)	(8) Shot Of Love 8/1, Winner at Wetherby in June. Seventh of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive. Led late when 7f winner in June; not the easiest of rides; new trip to contend with.

LTO Selection:

OUTRACE appeared to relish the return to 1m when holding on to triumph at Bath recently and a 2lb nudge in the ratings could prove lenient for Richard Hannon's colt. Flying Spirit also looks capable of landing a race in this company and may give the selection most to think about. Ibiza Love is a potential improver now tackling this stiffer test for the first time, although the three-year-old will need to settle better.

FLYING SPIRIT proved himself on turf when runner-up at Newbury earlier this month and remains on a workable mark. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking contest. Outrace and Silver Nightfall can also make their presence felt.

The return to turf should suit LARRSEN and he can confirm that he had something to spare when winning at Bath on his latest grass run.

LTO Selection:

BEAU JARDINE took a liking to blinkers last time over C&D when he bolted up by over five lengths, and he is asked to compete off an 8lb higher mark which might not be enough to prevent another bold display. Brazen Idol returned to action to finish an encouraging fourth at Doncaster and he is one to consider off the same mark, while Fiscal Policy remains in good heart and won't mind the return to turf after his Kempton second.

BEAU JARDINE landed a significant gamble in impressive fashion on his second start for this yard over C&D 2 weeks ago so he could defy an 8 lb rise. Oriental Spirit shaped as if back in top form when almost brought down at Kempton so must be feared, while Brazen Idol made a positive start for this yard when fourth at Doncaster.

A strong pace will benefit ORIENTAL SPIRIT. He's on a dangerous mark and was an unlucky loser on the AW last time.

9th	9 9th (9) (80/1 -21%) Proud Warrior	80 80/1(-21%)	(9) Proud Warrior 80/1, Poor maiden. Fourth of 5 in handicap (40/1) at Chepstow (12f, good to firm) 49 days ago. Hard to fancy. 11-race maiden whose best run was over 2m on AW in March; no form claims otherwise.

LTO Selection:

Solution offered plenty of encouragement when staying on into second place on his handicap debut at Ffos Las last month and must enter the reckoning off only 1lb more. However, FRAVANCO makes slightly more appeal, having proved his opening mark to be fruitful on the Polytrack at Lingfield at the start of the month. Michael Madgwick's four-year-old has only a 3lb rise to contend with and could complete a double, while How Hard Can It Be may chase the duo home.

SOLUTION is on the up and can open his account. Fravanco is a big player after his Lingfield success, while It's How We Roll always has to be respected at Windsor.

The prospect of further improvement from SOLUTION, who was runner-up over 1m4f on his handicap, earns him the vote.

Improved further when following up over C&D 10 days later but has been a bit disappointing the last twice. Needs to get back on track in first-time cheekpieces. Won first two handicaps but safely held twice since; bit risky, with cheekpieces now tried.

Highly likely to go well again. Runner-up twice since last month's small-field C&D win; should go well from the front.
5th	8 5th (8) (10/1 -33%) Twoforthegutter	10 10/1(-33%)	(8) Twoforthegutter 10/1, Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to soft, 9/1) 7 days ago. Step up to 1½m worth exploring. Twice in the frame over 1m2f this month and looks ready for a crack at 1m4f.

7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 -33%) Latin Verse	12 12/1(-33%)	(3) Latin Verse 12/1, Improved further to get off the mark in good style at Lingfield in February but more miss than hit since switched to turf. Blinkers back on. AW maiden winner in February but subsequent form in turf handicaps is underwhelming.
8th	2 8th (2) (16/1 -146%) Ramensky	16 16/1(-146%)	(2) Ramensky 16/1, Gelded/blinkered for 1st time, looked a better model when opening his account in an AW novice in February. Reportedly lost action next start but has been held back by his attitude subsequently. Blinkers refitted. Placed in Sandown handicap two runs ago but below form there last time; tends to hang.

LTO Selection:

GRAHAM was seven lengths clear of the third when second at Doncaster on his latest outing, which showed he continues to be in great heart and could still be well treated off just 3lb higher. Twoforthegutter is still a maiden, but he finished a solid fourth at Newmarket last time and could get involved. True Legend could show improvement in first-time cheekpieces and is another to consider.

GRAHAM confirmed he's still improving when pulling clear with a handicap debutant at Doncaster last week, so he's an appealing candidate having gone up just 3 lb in the weights. Twoforthegutter is well worth a try at this longer trip, while it's too soon to be writing off Seahouses given his earlier promise.

This step up in trip may unlock improvement from TWOFORTHEGUTTER (nap), who has been shaping as though his turn might be near.

About U.K Horse Racing

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

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

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

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

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

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