13:40 Musselburgh Maiden (Class 5) 8f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (13/8 +41%) Dain Ma Nut In	1.625 13/8(+41%)	(3) Dain Ma Nut In 13/8, Fair maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap (10/1) at this course (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Won't be far away if back to anywhere near his best. Below par on handicap debut but needs respecting in this modest a maiden.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +0%) Bletchley Pride	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) Bletchley Pride 4/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Third of 5 in maiden (12/1) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Remains capable of better back at 1m. Has finished closer in each of his runs and chased home the market leaders at Redcar.
3	6 3rd (6) (6/5 +52%) Rogue State	1.2 6/5(+52%)	(6) Rogue State 6/5, Lightly-raced filly. 5/2 and hooded first time, first run since leaving Bryan Smart when improved third of 8 in handicap at Ripon (1m, good to firm) 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Likely she has more to give for this stable. Has to settle if she's to fulfil what potential she has but this is a modest race.
4	1 4th (1) (200/1 -100%) Royal Emperor	200 200/1(-100%)	(1) Royal Emperor 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. Last of 7 in maiden (250/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 14 days ago. Has finished a tailed-off last in both his runs and has the weakest form claims here.
5th	4 5th (4) (20/1 -100%) Racing Vicar	20 20/1(-100%)	(4) Racing Vicar 20/1, Modest form. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm, 14/1) 50 days ago. Dain Ma Nut In is the more obvious of the yard's pair. Easily his best run was second time out at Ayr (1m, good) and well held since then.

Placed at Ripon on her handicap debut and first outing for David O'Meara, ROGUE STATE returns to maiden company with strong claims and can open her account. Bletchley Pride finished third at Redcar last time and the runner-up has subsequently boosted that form, while Dain Ma Nut In is not out of this if reproducing his placed effort over course and distance in June and is preferred to stablemate Racing Vicar.

ROGUE STATE made quite a promising start for new trainer David O'Meara at Ripon 3 weeks ago and is preferred to Bletchley Pride and Dain Ma Nut In. Slaney Swagger would also be likely to have a big say if turning out but he is due to run at Ripon on Monday.

Most of these have had a good few chances. ROGUE STATE doesn't make life easy for herself but the ability is there to win.

Makes handicap debut. Respected. Progressive colt; clear second in maiden here latest; player now handicapping up in trip.
2	5 2nd (5) (22/1 -144%) Aye Up Lass	22 22/1(-144%)	(5) Aye Up Lass 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, seventh of 11 in nursery at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. First-time blinkers need to give her something extra. Seventh on his nursery debut at Thirsk 18 days ago; blinkers go on with more required..
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 +0%) Caledonian Dream	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Caledonian Dream 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 11 in nursery (8/1) at Beverley (7.5f, good) 12 days ago. Solid fourth of 11 in Beverley nursery 12 days ago; he needs considering eased 1lb.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +33%) Corpus Juris	4 4/1(+33%)	(3) Corpus Juris 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 8 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good) 11 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Not disgraced when fifth in Newmarket novice 11 days ago; possibilities on nursery debut.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/4 +0%) Law Degree	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(2) Law Degree 11/4, Winner at Beverley in July. 4/1, creditable third of 9 in nursery at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Has good chance on form. Good third in Leicester nursery 16 days ago; he's firmly in the picture off the same mark.
5th	8 5th (8) (25/1 -150%) Capturethemoment	25 25/1(-150%)	(8) Capturethemoment 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable sixth of 11 in nursery at Thirsk (7f, good to firm, 66/1) 18 days ago. Her stable won this race 12 months ago. Failed to improve on her first go in nurseries when sixth at Thirsk; more is required.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 +0%) Himself	9 9/1(+0%)	(4) Himself 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, fifth of 9 in novice at Newcastle (6f) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Has been brought along steadily; can take a step forward back up in trip for nursery debut.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -456%) Max The Tiger	50 50/1(-456%)	(9) Max The Tiger 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 5 in maiden at Ayr (5.5f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Would need to see market support to consider. Finished last in three runs; no forlorn hope over this much longer trip though.

This can go the way of MAYOR OF MAGHERA, who has finished strongly over 7f on the last two occasions and stepping up to 1m could be the making of him as he aims to get off the mark on handicap debut. Another to consider is Leicester third Law Degree, who is still 6lb above his last winning mark, while Caledonian Dream looks to build upon a creditable effort over slightly shorter at Beverley last time out.

LAW DEGREE is in good form and weighted to go close again. Mayor of Maghera, who has built a solid platform for nurseries in maidens, is next best..

Phillip Makin's MAYOR OF MAGHERA has improved with each start and can build on his clear second here now handicapping up in trip.

14:25 Ripon Handicap (Class 5) 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (18/1 -227%) Woodstock City	18 18/1(-227%)	(2) Woodstock City 18/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Chester (10.3f, good to soft) 23 days ago, very slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter. Good third at Chester in May but three lesser performances have followed.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 -9%) Ey Up Its The Boss	3 3/1(-9%)	(1) Ey Up Its The Boss 3/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. 25/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 2 days ago. This is tougher. Two C&D wins this season and good third at Beverley on Sunday; can play a leading role.
3	7 3rd (7) (3/1 +0%) Mr Jetman	3 3/1(+0%)	(7) Mr Jetman 3/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who comes here on the back of a very good second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 10/3) 10 days ago. Big shout. Lightly raced 4yo who has twice gone close this month, following a long layoff; key player.
4	3 4th (3) (9/1 -20%) Eeetee	9 9/1(-20%)	(3) Eeetee 9/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Only sixth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm, 10/1) 10 days ago but claims on old form. Has had substandard campaign but he's dropped down the weights and is not ruled out.
5th	8 5th (8) (25/1 -56%) Arranmore	25 25/1(-56%)	(8) Arranmore 25/1, Course winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 18/1) 10 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Thirty one runs since last win in 2021. Course winner who is on a reduced mark, but patchy campaign and on long losing run.
6th	4 6th (4) (3/1 +54%) Bearwith	3 3/1(+54%)	(4) Bearwith 3/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm, 13/2) 3 days ago. Has good chance if shrugging off latest effort. Went close off this mark at Doncaster in June but below par on his three runs since.
7th	5 7th (5) (11/2 -10%) Poet's Dawn	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(5) Poet's Dawn 11/2, C&D winner. 10/3, creditable 1¼ lengths third of 6 to Ey Up Its The Boss in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago. Can give a good account. Has run well to make the frame on last four starts; every chance he'll be thereabouts.
8th	6 8th (6) (10/1 -67%) Leap Year Lad	10 10/1(-67%)	(6) Leap Year Lad 10/1, 9/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) 38 days ago. Merits consideration if back on song. Very close third at Nottingham in June but disappointing at Ayr and Haydock since.

MR JETMAN boasts the most convincing profile based on recent form figurers and, with the promise of more to come on just his second start over this trip, there are solid foundations for the gelding to build on after a near miss over C&D 10 days ago. Poet's Dawn also has some respectable C&D efforts to his name and is noted, while Bearwith is weighted to go well if staging a revival.

Grant Tuer's MR JETMAN is less exposed than these and signalled he is ready to strike again when a C&D runner-up last time so gets the vote. C&D scorer Poet's Dawn is next on the list with handily-weighted Bearwith another to consider.

The lightly raced 4yo MR JETMAN has been in fine form this month following a long absence and can gain a deserved win.

14:40 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (50/1 -100%) Hard Nut	50 50/1(-100%)	(9) Hard Nut 50/1, Twenty seven runs since last win in 2019. 8 lengths last of 12 to Jamie's Choice in minor event at Redcar (5f, good to firm, 50/1) 17 days ago, missing break. Last of 12 in 5f Redcar classified event 17 days ago; he's very hard to make a case for.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 +56%) Inanna	2 2/1(+56%)	(3) Inanna 2/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2022, which was gained on debut. First run since leaving Brian Toomey when respectable third of 7 in handicap (9/4) at Ayr (6f, good) 15 days ago. Well weighted if she can build on that. Encouraging start for new yard when third at Ayr 15 days ago; merits serious consideration.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/1 -175%) Cuban Rock	11 11/1(-175%)	(5) Cuban Rock 11/1, Course winner. Latest win at Hamilton in July. 4/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good) 17 days ago. Has been kept on the go and now just 1 lb above last successful mark. Run of good form ended when fifth at Ayr 17 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back.
4	1 4th (1) (28/1 -211%) Henery Hawk	28 28/1(-211%)	(1) Henery Hawk 28/1, 7/2, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 31 days ago, slowly away. That was a step back in the right direction and a 2 lb ease means that he drops in grade back on turf. Got back on track when sixth there 31 days ago; one to consider off a falling mark.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/2 -17%) Jamie's Choice	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(2) Jamie's Choice 7/2, C&D winner. 5/2, career best when winning 12-runner minor event at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago by ½ length from Northern Prince, suited by drop in trip. Could be more to come over the minimum trip. Landed classified event at Redcar (5f) 17 days ago; this C&D winner can't be discounted.
6th	10 6th (10) (200/1 -300%) Royal Duke	200 200/1(-300%)	(10) Royal Duke 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, last of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good) 17 days ago. Yet to show any worthwhile form, last of eight in 5f Ayr handicap 17 days ago.
7th	7 7th (7) (7/1 -8%) Showboated	7 7/1(-8%)	(7) Showboated 7/1, Ran a cracker when second in maiden company over C&D and excuses when sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 25 days ago given he was bumped at the start. Shortlist material. Good second here but never threatened (bumped start) at Newcastle since; not written off.
8th	6 8th (6) (11/2 -57%) Northern Prince	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(6) Northern Prince 11/2, 4/1, good ½-length second of 12 to Jamie's Choice in minor event at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Shouldn't be much between them again. In good nick, second at Redcar latest; ought to be thereabouts in his bid for first win.
9th	4 9th (4) (22/1 -57%) Grandad Bob	22 22/1(-57%)	(4) Grandad Bob 22/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 8/1) 31 days ago. Lots to prove at present. Remains without a victory and he beat only one in 5f Newcastle handicap 31 days ago.

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

Jamie's Choice beat Northern Prince to win a classified event at Redcar earlier in the month, but faces tougher opposition back in handicap company and INANNA is preferred. The Acclamation filly finished a creditable third at Ayr on her first outing for Jim Goldie's yard and looks capable of ending a long losing run off her current mark on that evidence. Showboated found only one too good when last seen over course and distance in July and is also noted.

Having excelled himself in a C&D maiden, SHOWBOATED can be forgiven a subsequent defeat in handicap company having been badly bumped and can prove his basement mark to be a lenient one this time. Jamie's Choice and Northern Prince occupied the first 2 spots at Redcar last time and both should be involved again.

Jim Goldie's new recruit INANNA (nap) shaped well when third at Ayr and is taken to build on it and capitalise on a reduced mark.

1	5 1st (5) (4/5 +47%) Zayer	0.8 4/5(+47%)	(5) Zayer 4/5, Promising type. Second of 12 in maiden (4/1) at Haydock (6f, firm) 23 days ago. Open to improvement so he's well in the mix. Shown plenty of pace in first two races over 6f and this sharper test looks worth a try.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/4 +14%) Reservardo	1.5 6/4(+14%)	(3) Reservardo 6/4, 8/15, promising second of 10 in maiden at Windsor (5.1f, firm) on debut 24 days ago, slowly away and raced wide. More to offer. Player. 270,000euros breeze-up buy; narrowly denied when all the rage for his Windsor debut.
3	2 3rd (2) (16/1 -256%) Kullazain	16 16/1(-256%)	(2) Kullazain 16/1, Foaled March 19. 35,000 gns yearling, 150,000 gns 2-y-o, Hello Youmzain colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 6f Swayze. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to smart 1m winner Dan. Not ruled out. Price shot up from 35,000gns as a yearling to 150,000gns at a breeze-up sale.
4	1 4th (1) (11/1 -230%) Another Abbot	11 11/1(-230%)	(1) Another Abbot 11/1, Foaled February 6. 155,000 gns yearling, Harry Angel colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 6f winner Les Bleus and 1m winner Feathery. Wears tongue strap. Interesting. 155,000gns yearling; 8th foal; half-brother to 3 winners; in a top yard and market useful.
5th	4 5th (4) (250/1 -279%) Spaceage Love Song	250 250/1(-279%)	(4) Spaceage Love Song 250/1, Twice-raced colt. Last of 10 in maiden at Windsor (5.1f, firm, 80/1) 24 days ago. Has finished last in both his races, well behind Reservardo in the latest at Windsor.

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

RESERVARDO, whose 6,000 euros price tag as a yearling shot up to 270,000 euros as a two-year-old breeze-up buy, impressed when just touched off in a maiden at Windsor 24 days ago. Runner-up on both previous starts, Zayer is the most obvious threat to the selection, although Kullazain and Another Abbot are interesting newcomers to bear in mind if either attract market support.

The Crisfords' RESERVARDO was unable to land the odds on his recent Windsor debut but still shaped well when runner-up and can take a sizeable step forward to go one better at the chief expense of Archie Watson's Zayer, who might have to settle for runner-up spot once more. Newcomer Another Abbot can't be ruled out either, especially if the market vibes are positive for William Haggas' Harry Angel colt.

An interesting race but ZAYER could be hard to beat with his latest Haydock form franked in a big way last week at York.

Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 5/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 3 days ago. It's now 15 starts since her last success but she comes here in decent nick; shortlisted.
2	6 2nd (6) (12/1 +25%) Stoneacre Girl	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Stoneacre Girl 12/1, 22/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 25 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces. Has failed to make the frame on her seven runs; blinkers are reached for now.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 -122%) Mrs Bagerran	10 10/1(-122%)	(2) Mrs Bagerran 10/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (7/2) at this C&D (good to soft). Off 10 months so much depends on whether she's fully tuned for this. Signed off for 2023 with C&D win; has gone well fresh so can't be discounted.
4	3 4th (3) (28/1 -75%) Ski Angel	28 28/1(-75%)	(3) Ski Angel 28/1, C&D winner. 20/1, last of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces need to sharpen her up. C&D scorer but she came in last of seven over C&D 25 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/1 -43%) Sixcor	5 5/1(-43%)	(5) Sixcor 5/1, C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap (4/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 15 days ago, just holding on having gone with plenty of enthusiasm. Clearly in good nick. Won at Ayr 15 days ago; took this 12 months ago (off 4lb higher) so well in the mix again.
6th	1 6th (1) (3/1 -60%) Dunnington Lad	3 3/1(-60%)	(1) Dunnington Lad 3/1, 4/1, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago, rallying. Has good chance on form from just 2 lb higher. Resumed winning ways in 5f Ripon handicap 16 days ago; merits serious consideration.
7th	8 7th (8) (28/1 -40%) Mews House	28 28/1(-40%)	(8) Mews House 28/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 18/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Arrives well below par, seventh of ten in 5f Catterick handicap three weeks ago.

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

After winning more comfortably than the length and a half distance may suggest over C&D last time, MRS BAGERRAN is fancied to follow up despite the lengthy layoff. Tracy Waggott's charge barely saw another rival on that occasion, and a 5lb rise doesn't appear to be out of her reach. Sixcor is fancied to pose the most significant challenge to the selection after bouncing back to form when scoring over 6f at Ayr earlier this month, while Sound Of Iona isn't easily discounted.

DUNNINGTON LAD displayed a really willing attitude when doubling his tally for the season at Ripon a fortnight ago and with this an easier band of handicap, his follow-up claims appear to be bright. Sixcor and Sound of Iona head the opposition.

Last year's winner Sixcor can go well but DUNNINGTON LAD showed a good attitude when scoring at Ripon last time and can follow up.

Bold showing is on the cards eased 1 lb. Denied clear run when creditable fourth on nursery debut at Musselburgh; contender.
3	6 3rd (6) (8/1 -191%) Tees Aggregates	8 8/1(-191%)	(6) Tees Aggregates 8/1, Lightly-raced winner. 4/1, career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Leicester (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago, always holding on. Not taken lightly despite a 4 lb rise. Won on nursery debut at Leicester last month; could continue to progress; respected up 4lb.

5th	4 5th (4) (9/2 -13%) John's Dragon	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(4) John's Dragon 9/2, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Windsor in June. 7/2, good second of 7 in nursery at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and firmly in the picture. Went close in recent Chepstow nursery and can be in the mix once more.
6th	7 6th (7) (12/1 -20%) Focus On Zaam	12 12/1(-20%)	(7) Focus On Zaam 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden, best effort when third of 7 in novice (250/1) at this course (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut. More required. Improved form when 250-1 third here on third start and trainer is in flying form.
7th	1 7th (1) (18/1 -157%) Foro Romano	18 18/1(-157%)	(1) Foro Romano 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in maiden (13/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 68 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on 1st time. More needed on his handicap debut. Promise on the second of his three starts and he could go well on nursery debut.

TEES AGGREGATES was successful on his nursery debut at Leicester 27 days ago and is competitively weighted in his bid to follow up off just 4lb higher. Fellow previous winner John's Dragon can also continue to pay her way in handicaps and is suggested as the chief threat to the selection with first-time cheekpieces a potential source of improvement. Nursery debutants Foro Romano and Brandywine Falls also enter calculations.

INVINCIBLE ANNICE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Musselburgh last time and can capitalise on a 1 lb lower mark here. Recent Leicester scorer Tees Aggregates heads the list of dangers with in-form pair John's Dragon and Invincible Song also in the picture.

Ivan Furtado is in excellent form and FOCUS ON ZAAM gets the nod on his nursery debut. Invincible Annice is second choice.

Has good chance on form up 3 lb with return to 1m expected to suit. Won at Ayr 15 days ago despite ending up with a lot to do; bold showing is on cards.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/2 +44%) Rebecca's Girl	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(3) Rebecca's Girl 5/2, 9/4 and blinkered for first time, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 6 days ago, readily. Carries penalty but has made an excellent start for this yard. Cosy scorer for new yard at Carlisle six days ago; not taken lightly under a 5lb penalty.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 -33%) Believe Me Now	4 4/1(-33%)	(6) Believe Me Now 4/1, First run since leaving A. Slattery and tongue strap on for first time, didn't need to improve to win 7-runner minor event (10/1) at Ayr (8f, good) 15 days ago by neck from Rebecca's Girl, always holding on. Should be a factor back in a handicap. Off 11 months before opening account for new yard at Ayr; player back in handicap company.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 +0%) Concert Boy	10 10/1(+0%)	(5) Concert Boy 10/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. Twenty two runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (9f, good to firm) 18 days ago, hampered. Others more persuasive. On a long losing sequence but he comes here in decent form; possibilities.
5th	8 5th (8) (12/1 +14%) Paco's Pride	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Paco's Pride 12/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. 9/2, ninth of 12 in minor event at Ayr (10f, good) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Still to win and her form has nosedived of late; cheekpieces are reached for now.
6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 -25%) Chinese Spirit	25 25/1(-25%)	(9) Chinese Spirit 25/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, 3½ lengths sixth of 7 to Believe Me Now in minor event at Ayr (8f, good) 15 days ago. Arrives in decent nick; took this prize a year ago so this veteran must enter calculations.
7th	10 7th (10) (125/1 -279%) Onthebunny	125 125/1(-279%)	(10) Onthebunny 125/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Last of 7 in handicap (22/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Not easy to make a case for. Failed to beat a rival in 6f Ayr handicap 15 days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere.
8th	4 8th (4) (25/1 +0%) Masterpainter	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Masterpainter 25/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 28/1) 39 days ago. Hard to enthuse over at present. It's now 14 starts since his last success and he beat only one at Pontefract 39 days ago.
9th	1 9th (1) (6/1 -9%) Scarriff	6 6/1(-9%)	(1) Scarriff 6/1, Gained breakthrough win over this C&D in June. 7/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (9f, good to firm) 18 days ago, beaten when hampered. Eases in grade. Run of good form ended when seventh here 18 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back.

Believe Me Now arrives here on the back of a narrow success over 1m at Ayr earlier this month and she is fancied to be involved once more, but the reopposing REBECCA'S GIRL (second) can reverse that form. Gary Rutherford's filly has since shed her maiden tag, justifying strong market support over 7f at Carlisle, and a 5lb penalty may not halt her progression. Braes Of Doune has seldom run a bad race this term and is also worthy of consideration.

BRAES OF DOUNE doubled his career tally at Ayr a fortnight ago and with the return to 1m expected to suit, he can go in again. There shouldn't be much between Believe Me Now and Rebecca's Girl again and they can make their presence felt.

A few with chances but the vote goes to BRAES OF DOUNE who did well to score at Ayr last time out and can defy a 3lb weights rise here.

1	1 1st (1) (5/6 +24%) Huelgoat	0.833333 5/6(+24%)	(1) Huelgoat 5/6, Fair hurdler who ran well over C&D before resuming winning ways in first-time cheekpieces in 9-runner novice at around this trip at Newton Abbot in June. Fell fourth there next time but key player here if none the worse. Useful chaser who won a hurdle in June; not always reliable but a big player nevertheless.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/4 -20%) Yellow Car	1.5 6/4(-20%)	(2) Yellow Car 6/4, Won a maiden point in May and overcame lingering greenness to make a successful start over hurdles at Newton Abbot (21.6f) 7 weeks ago. Second and third won next time and he can improve with experience. Leading claims. Readily beat two next-time-out winners on rules debut at Newton Abbot last month.
3	3 3rd (3) (8/1 -14%) Ballydesmond	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) Ballydesmond 8/1, Winner of a hunter chase in Ireland in May 2023 but poor efforts for new yard last season, with a breathing operation in between (bled when pulled up on latest). Probably a long-distance staying chaser in the making and bit to prove on hurdles debut back from 7 months off in any case. Winning pointer/hunter chaser; makes hurdle debut after a break but could have a say.
4	5 4th (5) (50/1 -257%) Upthereforthinking	50 50/1(-257%)	(5) Upthereforthinking 50/1, Modest maiden over hurdles in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Considerately handled on first start for new yard at Uttoxeter 30 days ago. Would make more appeal in a handicap. Showed some fair form in Ireland but was soundly beaten on last month's stable debut.
5th	4 5th (4) (200/1 -203%) Jtadore De Forgan	200 200/1(-203%)	(4) Jtadore De Forgan 200/1, Little promise in points or over hurdles. Upped in trip with tongue tie on now. Well beaten at triple-digit odds on all three hurdling starts; tongue-tie added here.

After falling when favourite at Newton Abbot in June, HUELGOAT makes most appeal. Rated 116, Paul Nicholls' charge is clear of these on official ratings and he should be difficult to beat with a more polished round of jumping. Yellow Car is feared most after getting off the mark at the first time of asking under Rules at the same venue and he can continue his progression, while Ballydesmond heads the remainder.

The penalised winners YELLOW CAR and Huelgoat look to have this between them, and boasting more potential it's Yellow Car who has to get the vote to make it 2-2 in this sphere.

After a very pleasing rules debut at Newton Abbot last month, YELLOW CAR is selected ahead of Huelgoat.

Seventh of 16 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 18/1) 10 days ago. Others have achieved more. C&D winner who has tumbled down the weights but needs to raise his game.
3	8 3rd (8) (7/2 +30%) Another Baar	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(8) Another Baar 7/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in August. Good second of 16 in handicap (15/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 10 days ago. Enters calculations. Two-time C&D winner who arrives in fine form and holds very solid claims.
4	11 4th (11) (17/2 -42%) Thornaby Pearl	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(11) Thornaby Pearl 17/2, C&D winner. 20/1, good third of 16 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 10 days ago. Needs considering. Two-time C&D winner who was third of 16 over C&D latest; slow ground would boost claims.
5th	3 5th (3) (6/1 +0%) Origintrail	6 6/1(+0%)	(3) Origintrail 6/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 8 in handicap at this course (5f, firm, 4/1) 22 days ago, slowly away. One to consider.

Latest win at Nottingham in July. 4/1, respectable eighth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Has good chance on form. Won in good style at Nottingham in July; didn't back it up at York but retains potential.
7th	12 7th (12) (66/1 -65%) Drafted	66 66/1(-65%)	(12) Drafted 66/1, 50/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Sent off at big prices on all three starts this year and has finished no better than sixth.
8th	6 8th (6) (40/1 -21%) Quintus Arrius	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Quintus Arrius 40/1, 18/1, last of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Inconsistent but ran well two starts ago and slow ground would aid his cause.
9th	1 9th (1) (7/1 -17%) Twelfth Knight	7 7/1(-17%)	(1) Twelfth Knight 7/1, Took this 12 months ago and posted a good third of 6 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D (firm) 22 days ago. Player off a reduced mark. Won this last year and close third over C&D three weeks ago; on the shortlist.
10th	4 10th (4) (66/1 -450%) South Shore	66 66/1(-450%)	(4) South Shore 66/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Windsor in April. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 14/1).

TWELFTH KNIGHT won this contest off a 6lb higher mark last term and hinted at a return to form when third over C&D last time. Paul Midgley's sprinter can edge this ahead of Another Baar, who scored at Doncaster before finishing second in a competitive handicap here. The veteran Muscika went agonisingly close at Epsom on his latest start and merits consideration, while Origintrail and Act Of Violence are others worthy of second glance.

Plenty are in with a shout. TWELFTH KNIGHT captured this prize 12 months ago and could be the way to go on the back of his good recent C&D third off a reduced mark. David O'Meara's Muscika arrives in excellent nick though and rates a big danger, while the likes of Another Barr, Rayat and Origintrail also command lots of respect.

Last year's runner-up Origintrail is respected but ANOTHER BAAR (nap) arrives in rude health and can post his third C&D win.

2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +20%) Keep Me Stable	4 4/1(+20%)	(1) Keep Me Stable 4/1, 17/2, much improved when winning 9-runner minor event at Ayr (8f, good) 15 days ago, easily.

8th	8 8th (8) (3/1 +60%) Fanzone	3 3/1(+60%)	(8) Fanzone 3/1, Twenty nine runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 7 in minor event (3/1) at this course (7.1f, good to firm) 25 days ago, nearest finish. Cleary in good order but more of a place only proposition. Placed on his last four visits here, he looks sure to be in the firing line once more..

MR STRUTTER caught the eye late when running on to take second over 1m1f at this venue last time and he is capable of going one better. The 10-year-old arrives here on the same mark and that can be exploited. Little Ted won off just 1lb lower over 1m1f here last month and isn't discounted, while Keep Me Stable is also noted.

It's very late in the day for 10-y-o MR STRUTTER to be fitted with cheekpieces but he figures on a very handy mark and, versatile with regards ground conditions, he gets the tentative vote. Keep Me Stable and Fanzone are others to consider.

The most reliable option is LITTLE TED who won here last month and holds his form remarkably well. Mr Strutter is next best.

COUL DREAMER was a market springer ahead of his debut at Gowran Park and ran creditably in a staying-on third. On breeding, he should handle this slower ground. Lucky Melody contested decent maidens at Leopardstown and the Curragh with a best finish of fourth at the former. It is not hard to see her involved in this contest. The 78-rated Miss Tapley regressed when unplaced on her third appearance in Gowran Park, but she has her chance on previous placed efforts at Galway and Gowran Park. My Little Lady showed significant improvement on her second start when chasing home the winner at Cork last month, while Genoah and Kelbelle cannot be ruled out.

COUL DREAMER made a promising start at Gowran and could be the way to go ahead of barrier trial winner Kelbelle, who shaped well at Naas, and My Little Lady, who wasn't beaten far in a useful contest at Cork.

If the forecast is right then COUL DREAMER will encounter slower conditions than at Gowran but that was a very likeable start.

Bred to stay well so this trip could unlock more. Best of the rest behind runaway winner last month; upped from 2m1f here; still unexposed.
2	9 2nd (9) (6/1 +0%) Gone In Sixty	6 6/1(+0%)	(9) Gone In Sixty 6/1, Long-standing maiden but hard to knock a trio of placed efforts over both sets of obstacles this summer. Tries this trip for the first time. Placed in two handicap chases this season and also ran well in maiden hurdle last month.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/2 +39%) Bahtiyar	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(1) Bahtiyar 11/2, Maiden who can be a bit headstrong for his own good but he hasn't been with this top stable for that long and was left poorly placed as the race unfolded under different tactics at Worcester last month. Tongue tie back on down in class but this trip is a major worry. 0-14 over hurdles and needs to up his game on this first venture beyond about 2m2f.
4	16 4th (16) (11/1 +45%) Milanese Rose	11 11/1(+45%)	(16) Milanese Rose 11/1, Winless following 17 attempts over hurdles and failed to come on for reappearance when a never-dangerous fourth at this venue a month ago. Well held when fourth over 3m2f here last month and now 0-17 over hurdles.
5th	10 5th (10) (17/2 -42%) Nastasiya	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(10) Nastasiya 17/2, Remains without a win but she was knocking on the door for Rebecca Menzies and shaped like a stayer when third for new yard over 20.6f in May. Soundly beaten on the AW since. Finished well for third on stable debut in May and has travelled from Scotland for this.
6th	4 6th (4) (12/1 +64%) Hedera Park	12 12/1(+64%)	(4) Hedera Park 12/1, Reached the frame 3 times in maiden/novice hurdles before improving to make a winning handicap debut over 2½m in September. However, a o of heavy defeats have followed and she now finds herself with a bit to prove. Out of form at regular haunt Worcester this season and arrives here with a lot to prove.
7th	2 7th (2) (12/1 -140%) Emanate	12 12/1(-140%)	(2) Emanate 12/1, Winner of back-to-back 2m handicaps at Worcester last summer and back in good order this term, improving his position by one each start having finished fourth at Fontwell. Should stay this far and he's one to consider. Placed twice over 2m4f at favourite track Worcester this term; more needed here; new trip.
8th	15 8th (15) (20/1 -122%) Coilrock	20 20/1(-122%)	(15) Coilrock 20/1, Lightly raced 7-y-o who offered more than previously when runner-up at Ludlow (23.8f) in May (heavily backed). Similar form despite finding less than looked likely when fifth at Market Rasen a month later before tame effort at this venue. Better expected back from a break fitted with a tongue tie. Improved form when second in May (well backed) but two lesser efforts have followed.
9th	11 9th (11) (14/1 -27%) Pooch	14 14/1(-27%)	(11) Pooch 14/1, Minor promise only so far but he's made the switch to the Donald McCain yard and he's not yet exposed trying a new distance. Both handicap runs this spring were respectable; had wind op before this stable debut.
10th	6 10th (6) (25/1 +24%) Guguss Collonges	25 25/1(+24%)	(6) Guguss Collonges 25/1, Successful twice over fences during the autumn, including this venue but went off the boil as the season progressed and was soon beaten no June's return. Lots to prove back over timber. Dual chase winner in November but seems badly to have lost his way this year.
11th	7 11th (7) (15/2 -50%) Fenney Brook	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(7) Fenney Brook 15/2, Has slipped in the weights and confirmed she's back on good order with another third-place finish at Newton Abbot last month. Same mark here and she's very likely to be on the premises. Placed on both starts since her wind op in May and can make her presence felt again here.
12th	14 12th (14) (16/1 +0%) Fixed Wing	16 16/1(+0%)	(14) Fixed Wing 16/1, No better than mid-field in a pair of bumpers and yet to make a serious impact over hurdles. Others are more appealing. Took backward step when tailed off over C&D last month and now 0-6 over hurdles.
13th	12 13th (12) (66/1 -164%) Newton	66 66/1(-164%)	(12) Newton 66/1, Well held in 2 bumpers for Olly Murphy and it's been a similar story over hurdles for new yard so far. Handicap debut upped in trip. Not beaten far on first of three hurdling starts but improvement needed on handicap debut.
14th	5 14th (5) (16/1 +0%) Summer Night City	16 16/1(+0%)	(5) Summer Night City 16/1, Landed 4-runner juvenile hurdle at Hereford last October. Restricted to just 2 runs since but he should strip fitter with last month's handicap debut/reappearance under his belt. This his first try beyond 2m. Won uncompetitive 3yo hurdle last season but soundly beaten on handicap debut; up from 2m.

Cheekpieces may help him travel with a bit more purpose. Hit a flat spot before staying on for fourth over C&D last month; cheekpieces now added.

Yet to show any significant promise but has lowly mark for handicap debut.

Emanate ran with credit when second over 2m4f at Worcester last month and he can give another good account, but a 3lb rise in the ratings may leave him susceptible to some better treated rivals. Therefore, a chance is taken on NASTASIYA, who shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when running on well to take third over an extended 2m4f at Market Rasen on her latest start over timber. Fenney Brook could also hit the frame.

FENNEY BROOK is below her last winning mark, stays this trip well and a brace of placed efforts in recent weeks confirm she's back in good order. She therefore rates the percentage play, for all Coilrock could easily get back on track following a break fitted with a tongue tie. Gone In Sixty is another to consider.

Preference is for NASTASIYA, who ended up with too much to do before staying on well for third on her stable debut in May.

CODE PURPLE arrives in the best form having won two of his last three outings. He remains on a winning mark despite a 2lb rise for winning at Musselburgh on his latest start and looks worth sticking with. Makalu may well have finished closer than fourth here last time with clear run and rates a threat, while Lokana remains relatively unexposed and could go well off her current mark.

SUNNY ORANGE has slipped to a lenient mark and could be ready to take advantage on the back of his encouraging Beverley third last time out. Musselburgh scorer Code Purple rates the obvious danger with in-form duo Lokana and Mount King likely to be on the premises too.

Preference is for MAKALU, who has won four times this year so certainly knows how to get the job done.

TRIGGERMAN arrives on the back of a solid third in a slightly higher grade than this over 7f at Haydock earlier this month and, off an unchanged mark, the son of Ribchester looks the one to side with. Queens Road Revue scored over an extended 7f at Beverley recently and she merits a second look, despite a 4lb rise, while Inspiring Speeches is also considered stepping back down to 7f with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

WAR MEMORIAL failed to justify market support over 1m at Ripon 3 weeks ago but this track/trip should be more suitable so he's taken to get it right this time. Queens Road Revue is a solid proposition at this level and is second choice, ahead of Triggerman eased in grade.

It could be worth siding with maiden WAR MEMORIAL, who looked on the up until fluffing his lines at Redcar last time out.

Rory Mulligan's 7lb claim came to the fore on PASCALIA who showed up well in a dead-heat for fourth in a massive field at the Curragh. The horse that got up to share fourth with her came out and won a handicap at Killarney last Friday. The Bog Bank absolutely loves Bellewstown and has to be feared with Alyse Jane Clarke taking 10lb off her back. The pair combined to win over C&D in July. Selective Power cruised home at Naas which didn't go unnoticed by the handicapper who has hit him with a stone. If he is in the same mood, though, he would be hard to contain. Roman Harry and Comfort Line are others with chances.

VIVA VOCE has done better with his sights lowered of late and could be set to get off the mark on these shores. The Bog Bank goes well here and looks ready for another big run. Pascalia and Roman Harry are also on the shortlist.

A standing dish here, THE BOG BANK (nap) has twice run well on the AW since winning over C&D and is well drawn so can score again.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

GLYNN was an impressive winner over 2m5f at Newton Abbot last Thursday and a repeat of that effort could see him take this slight step up in class in his stride. That was a fine performance and he shaped as if a 7lb penalty can be within reach. Ajp Kingdom is feared most, while An Tailliur has been off the track for 500 days but he is a useful operator worthy of respect.

GLYNN is clearly getting the hang of chasing now and can follow up Thursday's Newton Abbot win. The returning useful hurdler An Tailliur is an intriguing runner and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting. Ajp Kingdom and Jet of Magic haven't convinced over fences but may get away with mistakes in this small field if it becomes messy.

As all his rivals come with an element of risk, the chances are that last week's Newton Abbot winner GLYNN will defy a penalty.

Last year's winner Spantik was eased down at Beverley on his belated seasonal debut behind the runner-up Bamboo Bay. The latter is one to consider, along with Catterick winner Myboymax, but the vote goes to TAILORMAN. Ian Williams' four-year-old came up against the progressive Godsend when second at Pontefract latest and can go one better returning to this lower grade. The lightly-raced Greenlightforgo steps up in distance and there might be more to come from him.

GREENLIGHTFORGO won't need to improve much for the step up to 2m to come out on top here. It's interesting that Danny Tudhope is back on board last year's winner Spantik and he can leave his recent reappearance well behind and provide the chief threat ahead of Tailorman.

The in-form MYBOYMAX returned to winning ways at Catterick three weeks ago and is taken to follow up. Tailorman is a danger.

In what looks a trappy opening contest, LONGUERUE gets the tentative vote. Robert Eddery's charge put on a stamina-laden performance when scoring over 1m6f at Yarmouth earlier this month and the suspicion is that a 3lb rise may not be enough to anchor her back up to 2m. Dangers are aplenty, though, and are headed by last-time-out winner Scylla, though a 4lb rise for that performance demands more. Smart over obstacles, Teqany is a fascinating contender reverting to the level.

SCYLLA found improvement when comfortably drawing clear here a month ago and, with a talented amateur on board, she's fancied to go in again. Solid Silver is an obvious threat and Fictonal could take a hand under Simon Walker.

The unexposed SCYLLA is taken to build on her clearcut success on turf here last month.

Creditable 2 lengths fifth of 12 to Glasses Up in handicap at Ayr (10f, good, 5/1) 15 days ago. Back up in trip.

Freddy Robinson found only one rival too good over C&D earlier this month and is sure to be popular off an unchanged mark. That said, KINETIC scored with plenty in hand over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last week and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to anchor her in this company. Glasses Up bounced back to form when scoring over 1m2f at Ayr recently and completes the shortlist off 3lb higher.

Plenty in with a shout for a 0-60, with the well-treated KINETIC fancied to land a quickfire hat-trick. Spring Chorus and Tilsitt are chief among the dangers.

It's hard to go against the upwardly mobile KINETIC who has thrived under the expert tutelage of James Owen and can complete a hat-trick

Second-reserve Arch Enemy would be threatening if getting a run as she stayed on for second in a much higher grade at Leopardstown last Thursday. Jamie Powell has a good record aboard prominent-racer SMAOINEAMH SILE as he has steered her to her last couple of victories. The pair couldn't quite hold on over further in Leopardstown, but that runner-up berth was still a decent effort. Blue Wood is capable off his mark and first-time cheekpieces might eke out a bit more from him, while Cousin Shay is unexposed on turf having been extensively campaigned on the Polytrack at Dundalk. Pimstrel made a promising start to life with George Kingston when second behind an easy winner in Naas.

SMAOINEAMH SILE was just about better than ever when second at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago and eased 1 lb, a very bold bid looks on the cards. Blue Wood also arrives in good order, while Cherry Pink is a potential improver having not been with his yard long.

Winner of a division of this race last year, SMAOINEAMH SILE has been in mostly good form this year and can score again.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (6/5 +66%) Got Grey	1.2 6/5(+66%)	(4) Got Grey 6/5, Modest maiden hurdler but has been cut some slack by the handicapper ahead of this first outing for Dan Skelton. Interesting runner, particularly if backed. 0-11 over hurdles but makes debut for Dan Skelton today; feared if strong in the betting.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/2 -38%) Calshot Spit	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(2) Calshot Spit 11/2, Largely consistent on Flat, including a win at Lingfield 17 days ago. Reached the frame in a couple of C&D maiden hurdles prior to that and interesting now making a quick switch to handicaps in this sphere. Made the frame over C&D on first two hurdling starts and was a recent Flat winner.
3	3 3rd (3) (18/1 -50%) Buxted Too	18 18/1(-50%)	(3) Buxted Too 18/1, Modest form in a handful of starts over hurdles, including a handicap. Arrives fit from the Flat (won in June) and it is still relatively early days with him in this discipline. Respectable fifth on last year's handicap hurdle debut but has regressed on Flat since.
4	10 4th (10) (5/1 +58%) Greenways	5 5/1(+58%)	(10) Greenways 5/1, Modest form in bumpers/maiden hurdles but may do better now handicapping. Just a glimmer or promise in C&D maiden on stable debut; improvement needed today.
5th	11 5th (11) (25/1 -213%) Cofficionado	25 25/1(-213%)	(11) Cofficionado 25/1, On the back of a breathing operation he found only one too good on handicap debut at Market Rasen in May. Had an excuse (hampered) there next time and can probably ignore latest AW Flat run. Went close on handicap debut and can be excused his subsequent hurdling defeat.
6th	1 6th (1) (33/1 -175%) Shuil Donn	33 33/1(-175%)	(1) Shuil Donn 33/1, Returned from a year off to make a winning yard debut at Southwell (2m) under Brian Hughes last September. Excuses for his 2 defeats since and worth keeping an eye on in the betting. Won by 6l on stable debut in September and has excuses for both subsequent lesser efforts.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 +0%) Pub Crawl	14 14/1(+0%)	(9) Pub Crawl 14/1, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m). Well held in 3 maiden/novice hurdles at the start of the summer but more chance now handicapping. Has had wind surgery. One to note in the betting. Has regressed on the Flat and was soundly beaten on first three hurdling attempts.
8th	15 8th (15) (33/1 -32%) Deal Em High	33 33/1(-32%)	(15) Deal Em High 33/1, Bumper winner who was runner-up in 2m Ffos Las maiden at the start of last summer but has largely struggled since, including back from 7 months off in May. Absent again since. 0-9 over hurdles; ran quite well in this last year but still makes only limited appeal.
9th	16 9th (16) (125/1 -89%) Gladys Eva Jane	125 125/1(-89%)	(16) Gladys Eva Jane 125/1, Placed in bumpers for the Bowen stable but has shown nothing over hurdles for this stable. Pulled-up 50-1 shot over C&D on latest outing and effectively 1lb higher today.
10th	12 10th (12) (14/1 +44%) Far Away West	14 14/1(+44%)	(12) Far Away West 14/1, Can pull hard but placed twice in handicaps this summer (including here). Does need to shrug off a poor run over 18.5f at this course last time, though. Good second here (2m2f) last month but tailed off since; hard to predict.
11th	6 11th (6) (12/1 -118%) Malina Ocarina	12 12/1(-118%)	(6) Malina Ocarina 12/1, Capitalised on a falling mark over 18.5f here in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last month. Should remain competitive up 4 lb. Kept on gamely for narrow course win in first-time cheekpieces last month; up 4lb.
12th	7 12th (7) (22/1 -83%) A Shining Moon	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) A Shining Moon 22/1, Went close at Kelso last autumn and also a creditable fourth at Market Rasen in May. Has run poorly on the Flat since but may so better back hurdling. Made frame in four of five handicap hurdles; recent Flat form worryingly poor, though.
13th	14 13th (14) (22/1 +0%) Cellar Club	22 22/1(+0%)	(14) Cellar Club 22/1, Modest maiden hurdler who hasn't been showing enough to suggest a first success is on the cards here. Very promising third on handicap debut in May but yet to build on that performance.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (125/1 -468%) Katstar	125 125/1(-468%)	(8) Katstar 125/1, Modest maiden on the Flat and only minor promise at best in 3 maiden/novice hurdles this summer. Handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance but he's still hard to make a good case for. Blinkers go on for the first time over hurdles. Ran well to a point on hurdling debut but two heavy defeats followed; blinkers refitted.

CALSHOT SPIT lost little in defeat when finishing fourth in a warm novice event over C&D in July and, on the back of a comfortable victory on the Flat earlier this month, he gets the vote to make his handicap hurdling debut a winning one. Malina Ocarina scored in cheekpieces (retained) over an extended 2m2f here last month and a 4lb rise for that performance doesn't discount her, while better can be expected from Greenways on his handicap bow.

In a race where few arrive with compelling claims a chance is taken that Dan Skelton has worked his magic on GOT GREY. Calshot Spit won the Flat earlier this month and should be up to making an impact on handicap hurdle debut for Sheena West. Like the selection, Go On Ya Goodthing has also been the subject of an interesting trainer change and also makes the shortlist along with last month's course scorer Malina Ocarina.

There could still be more to come from SHUIL DONN, who was a ready winner on his stable/handicap debut in September.

Dam unraced half-sister to Canadian 2-y-o Grade 1 1m winner (stayed 1¼m) Capla Temptress. Stable has only the occasional 2yo winner first time out; probably best watched.
7th	3 7th (3) (15/2 +0%) Dragonfly In Amber	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(3) Dragonfly In Amber 15/2, Once-raced filly. Fifth of 13 in maiden (50/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 29 days ago. Should have more to offer and worth a chance to open her account. Showed ability when fifth on last month's Windsor debut; considered.
8th	6 8th (6) (7/1 +56%) Lockwood	7 7/1(+56%)	(6) Lockwood 7/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 6 in novice (14/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 67 days ago. More required. Well held in both starts; nurseries may see her in a better light.

Creative Lady was sent off a warm order when finishing runner-up over 7f at Epsom on just her second start earlier this month, and she should be on the premises once more with a reproduction of that effort. That said, she might have to play second fiddle to the more experienced LILLY'S BET. William Knight's charge shaped with more credit than the bare result suggests when finishing a staying-on fifth in a Kempton handicap over 6f latest and, stepping back up to 7f with a hood reapplied, she gets the vote. Lockwood is also noted.

DRAGONFLY IN AMBER showed promise when fifth despite some greenness at Windsor on debut and, with average improvement from first to second run, she could have enough to land this relatively weak maiden. Creative Lady and Lilly's Bet are likely to be on the premises and Hock Eye The Noo is an interesting newcomer.

The vote goes to CREATIVE LADY who looks the one to beat having finished runner-up in both starts on turf.

Winner here in July. 11/2, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Merits consideration. C&D winner and has continued to run well, not beaten that far into sixth at Leopardstown.

A tricky race. Willie McCreery runs two horses with Billy Lee on BELLA COLOMBIA. This filly has competed at higher levels and it may have been the heavy ground that caught her out when fourth in this grade at Roscommon. Nans View caught the eye with a runner-up finish posted on handicap debut at Galway. She made sustained headway in the straight and could build upon that. Nakasero delivered in Killarney and wasn't beaten far into third in a valuable Racing League contest in Wolverhampton at the start of the month, while Vierson tries a new trip on her first venture into handicaps and could outrun her odds.

NANS VIEW has few miles on the clock and took a step forward when runner-up at Galway last time, so she's fancied to produce another improved performance to go one better. Nakasero is an obvious threat and Bella Colombia can get involved with the visor refitted.

Again the draw could have been kinder, but NANS VIEW ran a big race on her handicap debut at Galway given the wide trip she endured.

One to consider off an easing mark. 0-11; first run in a tongue-tie when giving it a good go from the front at Worcester.
2	7 2nd (7) (22/1 -144%) Call Blue	22 22/1(-144%)	(7) Call Blue 22/1, In good nick without winning when last seen out 22 months ago, third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f) final run. Needs to hit the ground running on her comeback. In competitive form when last seen in October 2022 and her mark has dropped.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/4 +39%) Ocean Heights	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(4) Ocean Heights 11/4, Fair bumper winner for Lucy Wadham and a dual AW Flat winner for this yard over the winter. Has yet to scale same heights over hurdles but posted a solid third in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f) when last seen in this sphre. Possibilities. Well treated given level of Flat form and likely to come good sooner or later.
4	5 4th (5) (7/2 -17%) Jo's Rainbow	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(5) Jo's Rainbow 7/2, Fair 10f winner on Flat for Karl Burke. Joined another leading stable for her hurdle career and posted best effort when third of 12 in novice over C&D (good) 37 days ago. Player now going into handicaps. Brings momentum into handicaps after running better to be third here last time.
5th	10 5th (10) (22/1 -83%) Razzo Italiano	22 22/1(-83%)	(10) Razzo Italiano 22/1, Scored at Southwell in November 2022 but has largely struggled since. Others appeal more. 1-18 under NH rules and the ground was soft when gaining his sole success in 2022.
6th	9 6th (9) (20/1 -43%) Night Fever	20 20/1(-43%)	(9) Night Fever 20/1, One-time fairly useful performer on the level when trained in Germany but just modest form so far over hurdles when last seen out 16 months ago. Has her fitness to prove. Positive signs in six defeats over hurdles but hasn't raced since April 2023.
7th	12 7th (12) (7/1 +65%) Miss Applejack	7 7/1(+65%)	(12) Miss Applejack 7/1, A fair bumper winner who came in only sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Southwell (20.4f, good) 77 days ago. Needs a subsequent wind op to spark a resurgence. Not much of a threat in either handicap and one to watch after wind surgery.
8th	1 8th (1) (16/1 -100%) Right Now	16 16/1(-100%)	(1) Right Now 16/1, Scored at Market Rasen in June but a below-form seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces back on so can't be discounted. Might be in the handicapper's grip since his winning debut for this yard at Market Rasen.
9th	13 9th (13) (40/1 -100%) Rhyme Scheme	40 40/1(-100%)	(13) Rhyme Scheme 40/1, Regressive on the Flat and poor form over hurdles. Needs to take a step forward. Good fourth of ten in 2m Hexham handicap and was 10lb out of the weights at Cartmel.
10th	6 10th (6) (11/1 +31%) Baltic Voyage	11 11/1(+31%)	(6) Baltic Voyage 11/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Had breathing surgery before an encouraging fifth over C&D but failed to build on it when only sixth at Newton Abbot on his handicap hurdle debut. Needs to bounce back. Flat winner; hasn't got a lot going in four runs over hurdles for current yard.
11th	15 11th (15) (125/1 -400%) Habibi	125 125/1(-400%)	(15) Habibi 125/1, Limited in bumpers and over hurdles. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark major improvement. Goes handicapping from 1lb out of the weights and with lots to prove.
12th	8 12th (8) (11/1 +21%) Cawthorne Cracker	11 11/1(+21%)	(8) Cawthorne Cracker 11/1, Course winner in June but he came in last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 40 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Course winner tough to predict; couldn't back with confidence but nor rule him out.
13th	11 13th (11) (11/1 -57%) Harry Gulliver	11 11/1(-57%)	(11) Harry Gulliver 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was running her best race when fell last (in share of second) in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good) 112 days ago. Considered after a break. Lightly raced and in contention on handicap debut in May when taking a late fall.
14th	14 14th (14) (125/1 -213%) Strip Light	125 125/1(-213%)	(14) Strip Light 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden who came in only ninth of 13 to Right Now in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) 81 days ago. Difficult ask. Placed on the Flat but a longstanding maiden and very opposable on hurdle form.
15th	3 15th (3) (12/1 +0%) Phoenix Aquilus	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Phoenix Aquilus 12/1, Off 6 months/first run since leaving Seamus Durack when ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) 32 days ago. More is required. Still a maiden over jumps and ended up long way behind when back from a break at Uttoxeter.

JO'S RAINBOW belied lengthy odds to finish third in a novice event over C&D last month and it would be no surprise if she were able to land the spoils now making her handicap debut. The last time Ocean Heights raced over hurdles he finished third off this mark over 2m at Ffos Las in May and he should be thereabouts with a repeat of that effort. Mary's rating continues to fall and she merits a second look in a bid to arrest the slide.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and JO'S RAINBOW, a fair winner on the Flat, is fancied to take a step forward now stepping into handicaps and gain a first success in this sphere. Mary took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Worcester and could emerge as the main danger off a falling mark, although the lightly-raced Harry Gulliver is another who needs considering along with the returning Call Blue.

The suggestion is OCEAN HEIGHTS who should be capable of winning races off this mark given his Flat ability.

TIME TESTED readily pulled clear with the runner-up when scoring over 7f at Yarmouth on his penultimate start and, after shaping like he was still in good form when finishing second over 1m2f at Brighton earlier this month, he gets the nod to make his handicap debut a winning one. Recent C&D winner Snooker McCrew may emerge as the main danger to the selection under a 6lb penalty, while Forever Noah also warrants respect.

COME ON YOU SPURS was too free at Newmarket last time but she'd been firmly on the up prior to that and she's worth a chance to resume progress. Time Tested has more to come and Forever Noah is unlikely to have reached his limit.

There should be more to come from TIME TESTED on his handicap debut, while \bForever Noah\b has run well in both starts since returning.

FIONA MACCOUL was beaten six and a half lengths on debut recently but met in-running trouble. Speedily-bred, she was slowly away at the Curragh and having met traffic, finished well to finish a never nearer fifth behind the easy winner. She should benefit from that run, dropping a furlong in distance and again has a light weight. Keen-going Bobbi Rosa finished second at Cork recently, with the smart winner finishing second at Listed level at York this week. Gazelle D'or is thoroughly dependable and reverts to maiden company having run well enough in the Ballyhane Stakes. Rated 74, she again carries a light weight and has a big advantage from the plum draw here in stall one.

FIONA MACCOUL caught the eye with her finishing effort at the Curragh recently and she can probably improve enough to get the better of Bobbi Rosa, who took a marked step forward at Cork last time out. Gazelle D'Or is the other obvious player.

Jessica Harrington's FIONA MACCOUL was quite an eyecatcher at the Curragh and hopefully she can deal with this sharper test.

Rotten Row impressed when bolting up over 2m5f here on his penultimate start and, after shaping like he was still in good heart when fourth over the same trip at Cartmel most recently, he must enter calculations. That said, GREY SKIES showed up well for a long way before fading late on when second over 2m5f at Cartmel on his penultimate start. Easing in trip on his first outing since undergoing wind surgery, this might be the day to catch him off what looks a workable mark. El Borracho is also noteworthy.

ROTTEN ROW still looked in top form at Cartmel last time and, returning to the scene of his latest success, he's fancied to get the better of Grey Skies, who should be back on his game after a two-month break. Al Zaraqaan is also a player for all that he needs to get back on track.

Front-runner ONEMOREFORTHEROAD (nap) had too much use made of him on his last two outings but is well handicapped now and gets the nod.

Could do better back on AW (runner-up twice) with good 5 lb claimer back on board. 0-7; runner-up in first two handicaps on the AW this summer; worth a second look.

ULTRAMARINE hinted at a revival with a couple of third-placed finishes over 6f earlier this month and may be able to swing this one his way with an additional furlong sure to suit. Already a three-time winner over this trip, the selection notably competes off 9lb below his last winning mark. Lady Dreamer rates a solid alternative with Oisin Murphy an eye-catching jockey booking, while Scarboroughwarning is interesting upped in trip.

ULTRAMARINE shaped well again at Windsor last week and given he's done all his winning on AW he could be worth chancing. That said, The Bitter Moose is 2-2 on AW and has dipped to a tempting mark so is very interesting. Scarboroughwarning might have more to offer over this longer trip and completes the shortlist.

It may be worth taking a chance with TADREEB who has dropped 17lb lower than for the latest of two C&D wins at the start of 2022.

Tongue strap on for 1st time, very good ½-length second of 8 to Rathbranchurch in handicap at this C&D (good, 7/2) 54 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

11th	9 11th (9) (10/1 +29%) Rathbranchurch	10 10/1(+29%)	(9) Rathbranchurch 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Eighth of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good to firm, 17/2) 17 days ago. Course winner in July but now has to rebound after a couple of lesser efforts.
12th	7 12th (7) (16/1 +0%) Escaping Thejungle	16 16/1(+0%)	(7) Escaping Thejungle 16/1, C&D winner. 9/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Down Royal (5f, good). Off 14 months. Well handicapped but can't afford to be rusty after her long absence.

RATHBRANCHURCH is a busy sprinter who is badly drawn in 14 but won over today's course-and-distance in July, narrowly defeating two of today's rivals. The selection was well held on recent runs but has an excellent course record, his rating has recently slipped and is now 1lb better off, each respectively, with July's placed-horses Air Force One and Only Spoofing. Air Force One also has a wide draw in 12 but is open to more progression being a lightly enough raced three-year-old. Hero Of The Hour has a good draw in 3 and while raised 4lb for winning at Naas recently, his same rider is able to claim 3lb today, so has hat-trick prospects.

AIR FORCE ONE looked an unlucky loser here last time and can gain compensation now. Hero of The Hour is an improved performer since returning to turf and rates an obvious danger. Transcendental and the selection's stablemate Heart of Darkness complete the shortlist.

Heart Of Darkness is interesting but Billy Lee seemingly prefers the chance of stablemate AIR FORCE ONE who is progressing.

GREAT D'ANGE had the race sewn up a long way from home when winning over 3m2f at Newton Abbot last week and appeals strongly turned out under a 7lb penalty. This slightly longer trip can play to the strengths of Invictus Allen, who also impressed landing a novices' handicap at Uttoxeter last month and he can give the selection the most to think about. Sammylou and the first-time visored Honey I'm Good complete the shortlist.

In a race where most have plenty to prove INVICTUS ALLEN is taken to follow up last month's Uttoxeter success and provide the Christian Williams stable with a hat-trick of wins in this staying handicap chase. Great d'Ange's recent record raises doubts about him backing up last week's Newton Abbot success but he's still the obvious danger.

With most of these badly out of form, this could be a good opportunity for GREAT D'ANGE to complete a quick double.

On the back of a C&D win and respectable second-placed finish on the turf course here 22 days ago, BIG BARD is holding his form well and is worth another chance back on the all-weather. Add to that Joe Bradnam's 7lb claim is a very handy asset and a bold showing can be expected. Sir Rodneyredblood also rates a key player at this level, while Porfin tends to go well here and is not one to dismiss.

BIG BARD is back in good form and could be the answer. Sir Rodneyredblood is a player under Oisin Murphy, while a market move for the returning Repartee for a new yard might be interesting.

There is a chance that SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD (nap) will enjoy an uncontested lead and he could take some catching.

MARKET TIMING should benefit from last month's promising debut here. Bred for middle-to-long distances, she was outpaced four furlongs out but finished nicely, with the winner subsequently finishing fourth at Group 3 level and the runner-up scoring at Galway. Regally bred Rubies Are Red notably narrowly failed to catch subsequent Irish Oaks winner You Got To Me in a Lingfield Listed race in May but has disappointed in three top races since. Rated 97, she was nonetheless well held in the English Oaks and Ribblesdale and weakened very tamely having led in the Irish Oaks, and now runs in first-time blinkers. Sissi finished second to a subsequently Group-placed winner at Killarney, where the third horse won subsequently, and should compete.

RUBIES ARE RED has far less on her plate here so Aidan O'Brien's filly is fancied to get off the mark at the chief expense of the improving Realt Na Ri. Market Timing and Ob La Di appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Rated 97, RUBIES ARE RED should be winning this but she will need to be close to her best.

RONNIES RULES has already comfortably won two similar races over this C&D and is hard to oppose in a bid to round out the hat-trick. Fiskardo is another must for consideration after his close third on debut in a bumper at Uttoxeter last month. Of the newcomers, Presenting Milan has a solid pedigree and on that basis, is nominated as the pick of the rest.

RONNIES RULES is two from two in bumpers over C&D and it's hard to see him losing his unbeaten record under Rules here, despite the double penalty. Fiskardo looks the main threat and Remus is an interesting newcomer.

Something was a amiss on his second start but RETETI might be too good for Ronnies Rules if able to replicate his debut form.

DIAMOND DREAMER had something in hand when he asserted over runner-up Chiedozie on the turf course here 22 days ago and is strongly fancied to conform the form, despite a 5lb higher mark. The Defiant and So Sleepy are other previous course winners to consider, with the former rated the more potent threat to the selection on this occasion given he runs off 2lb below his last winning mark.

DIAMOND DREAMER won well over this trip on turf here 3 weeks ago and can defy a 5 lb rise back on AW. Chiedozie chased him home on that occasion and may give him most to do again.

The vote goes to THE DEFIANT who has three C&D wins to his name and is 2lb below his last winning mark.

Frankel gelding BALTIC BIRD is forgiven his recent Galway hurdling disappointment as he had previously run very well in a prestigious race at that festival five days earlier. He finished fourth to one Extensio at Fairyhouse in July and being a strong stayer, is well suited by this distance. Royal Eagle finished third over hurdles at the Galway festival and again ran well on the flat at Tramore recently. She also stays well and today's different rider again claims 7lb but doesn't appear ahead of the handicapper. Reina Del Mar could be suited by trying this extreme flat distance for the first time and today's rider claims 5lb.

Lots with chances but Gordon Elliott looks to have a strong hand and his ROYAL EAGLE gets the vote on the back of a good Tramore third. In-form stablemate Barrier could emerge as the main threat with handily-weighted duo Peckham Springs and Walking On Glass also worthy of respect.

Though disappointing over hurdles at Galway after a cracking runner-up effort in a valuable 2m handicap there, BALTIC BIRD can rebound.
