13:35 Navan Maiden 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (3.33/1 -48%) Pop Star	3.33 3.33/1(-48%)	(3) Pop Star 3.33/1, Promising type. 10/3, second of 10 in maiden at this course (5f, good to firm). Off 12 months. Blinkers on 1st time. Likely to improve. Looked a possible future winner in two starts last August, blinkered for belated return.
2	6 2nd (6) (0.33/1 +60%) Yosemite Valley	0.33 0.33/1(+60%)	(6) Yosemite Valley 0.33/1, Promising sort. 9/1, built on debut promise when 4¾ lengths second of 6 to Little Big Bear in Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh (6.3f, good to soft). Off 13 months. Very much the one to beat provided he's ready to roll. Second in Group 3 Anglesey Stakes, appeals on form, trip and length of absence concerning.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 +18%) Rathbranchurch	7 7/1(+18%)	(4) Rathbranchurch 7/1, Remains a maiden after 12 Flat runs. Wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 13 in handicap at Cork (5f, heavy, 15/2) 13 days ago, caught out on the far wing for much of the race. 12-race maiden, best form has been over 5f, unplaced in a handicap latest, stiff task.
4	1 4th (1) (250/1 -67%) Grey Daze	250 250/1(-67%)	(1) Grey Daze 250/1, Well held in minor event/maidens at Dundalk earlier in the year and makes turf debut after 6 months off. Makes no appeal on the basis of three outings at Dundalk in January/February.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/1 -60%) Keke	16 16/1(-60%)	(2) Keke 16/1, Looked badly in need of the experience when eighth of 15 in maiden (5/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) on debut 12 days ago. Seems sure to do better with that under his belt. Did not have much luck in running the first time out at the Curragh, improvement likely.
6th	7 6th (7) (80/1 +20%) Calamint	80 80/1(+20%)	(7) Calamint 80/1, Modest filly. 150/1, first run since leaving Joseph G. Murphy when good fifth of 15 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Down in trip. Modest run in five starts for Joe Murphy, made debut for stable at Bellewstown yesterday.
7th	5 7th (5) (40/1 -150%) Tortured Soul	40 40/1(-150%)	(5) Tortured Soul 40/1, 7/1, didn't show a great deal first time up when tenth of 12 in claimer at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 2 weeks ago. Entitled to come on for the experience. Slowly away and never in serious contention on debut in a 7f claiming race at Leopardstown.
8th	9 8th (9) (200/1 -150%) Tarfeh	200 200/1(-150%)	(9) Tarfeh 200/1, Has failed to beat a rival on both starts a year apart, latest in first-time blinkers. Easy to ignore. Eased when chance had gone at Deauville on only start at two, last of 14 on Irish debut.

LTO Selection:

YOSEMITE VALLEY returns from over a year out and, as a Group 3 runner-up, he should prove hard to beat. An eyecatching fourth on debut, with a whole host of subsequent winners in behind, he proved no match for Little Big Bear on his only other start in the Anglesey Stakes. An expensive yearling purchase, Pop Star is the danger. Second over the course and distance when last seen just over a year ago, the Sioux Nation colt is fitted with blinkers for the first time now. Keke came in for plenty of market support on debut at the Curragh recently and while he finished eighth, he had a far from smooth passage. With that experience under his belt, the Eddie Lynam-trained bay should be able to make an impact here.

YOSEMITE VALLEY hasn't been seen since finishing runner-up to Little Big Bear in the Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh 13 months ago and if anywhere near that level on return, Donnacha O'Brien's colt is likely to take some stopping. He can get the better of Pop Star, who took a step forward from his debut but is also returning from a lengthy absence. Rathbranchurch and the once-raced Keke can do battle for third spot.

This stiff track may help last year's Anglesey Stakes second YOSEMITE VALLEY see off a likely challenge by Pop Star

13:35 Navan Maiden 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:05 Navan Handicap 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (3.5/1 +46%) Bid For Chester	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(7) Bid For Chester 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, fifth of 8 in nursery at the Curragh (7f, good) 5 days ago. Others preferred. Not disgraced tried over 7f in a Curragh nursery on Saturday; stiff five likely to suit.
2	6 2nd (6) (6.5/1 -18%) Glamorously	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(6) Glamorously 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, nineteenth of 20 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, soft) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time now pitched into a nursery and she's not ruled out. Ran okay in sprint maidens at Bellewstown and Naas on ground with an ease; could go close.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/1 -100%) Veracidad	10 10/1(-100%)	(8) Veracidad 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form third of 9 in nursery at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft, 9/2) 22 days ago, met some trouble. Yard in good form and possibilities if responding well to the fitting of a visor. Two runs in sprint nurseries last twice probably her best efforts; tried in a visor here.
4	3 4th (3) (18/1 -29%) Promo Queen	18 18/1(-29%)	(3) Promo Queen 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in maiden (250/1) at Dundalk (6f) 16 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time for this nursery debut and needs to raise her game. Good run at Dundalk; going the right way and cheekpieces added here; contender.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 -33%) Mr Saturday	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Mr Saturday 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good, 7/2) 19 days ago, finding little. Worth another chance given previous promise now pitched into a nursery. Feasibly handicapped on his best form and won't be far away if he can rediscover it.
6th	5 6th (5) (3.33/1 +39%) Sanshiro	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(5) Sanshiro 3.33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, bit below form sixth of 11 in nursery at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Blinkers back on and he shouldn't be far away. Headgear is back on today which should help and certainly not without a chance.
7th	2 7th (2) (3.33/1 +45%) Si Senior	3.33 3.33/1(+45%)	(2) Si Senior 3.33/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 11-runner maiden (16/1) at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft) 22 days ago, always holding on. More on her plate now switched to a nursery. Came good at the third time of asking when landing a Sligo maiden; could be more to come.
8th	4 8th (4) (33/1 -65%) Excel In Space	33 33/1(-65%)	(4) Excel In Space 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in nursery (40/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive on balance. Beaten a long way last twice since being gelded, latest a Curragh nursery; hard to fancy.

LTO Selection:

It might be worth taking a chance on VERACIDAD in this open contest. With Wayne Hassett claiming 7lb, the Ken Condon-trained selection will carry a featherweight and is fitted with a visor for the first time. Third on her most recent start at Sligo after being hampered over a furlong out, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a few places better now. Top-weight Mr Saturday is given second preference. While he disappointed on his most recent start at the Curragh, he makes his debut in handicap company now and with Jack Kearney claiming a valuable 7lb, he should go close. Si Senior is the only winner in the line-up and she'll be well fancied to follow up on her recent Sligo success, while Sanshiro is another capable of making his presence felt.

Though he went out like a light at the Curragh recently, MR SATURDAY shaped well when runner-up on his first two starts and is well worth another chance now moving into nursery company. Veracidad is next on the list, though Glamorously needs a second look and Sanshiro is also worthy of consideration.

Preference is for SI SENIOR, winner of a Sligo maiden which is working out well with probably more improvement to come

14:05 Navan Handicap 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:25 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 4) 7f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (0.62/1 +50%) Emperor's Star	0.62 0.62/1(+50%)	(7) Emperor's Star 0.62/1, Sea The Stars colt who failed to build on his promising debut second when odds-on fifth of 10 in minor event at Sandown (7f) in the mud 29 days ago. Well worth another chance. Ran well behind a useful sort on debut; beaten at odds-on on heavy latest; contender.
2	13 2nd (13) (6.5/1 +0%) Run Boy Run	6.5 6.5/1(+0%)	(13) Run Boy Run 6.5/1, Promising individual. Second of 10 in maiden (22/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. Likely to improve. In the picture. Second in a newcomers' maiden at Newmarket three weeks ago; clearly has some ability.
3	5 3rd (5) (8.5/1 +6%) Celtic Warrior	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(5) Celtic Warrior 8.5/1, Sixth of 8 in minor event at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 15/2) on debut 18 days ago, not knocked about. May well do better. Green when a never-dangerous sixth on his Leicester debut 18 days ago; can do better.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 +0%) Annafel	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Annafel 8/1, Foaled April 14. 220,000 gns 2-y-o, Blame colt. Dam unraced sister to US Grade 3 6.5f winner Bombard out of US Grade 3 7f winner Witty, herself half-sister to Dubai World Cup winner Well Armed. Interesting newcomer. 220,000gns 2yo; dam from a good US family; top yard just 2-23 with 2yos this summer.
5th	8 5th (8) (100/1 -25%) Keady Town	100 100/1(-25%)	(8) Keady Town 100/1, Eighth of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, good, 33/1) on debut 21 days ago. 33-1, green and well beaten in a Salisbury novice (6f, good) three weeks ago.
6th	12 6th (12) (33/1 -136%) Papagei	33 33/1(-136%)	(12) Papagei 33/1, Seventh of 11 in minor event at Haydock (7f, good to firm, 16/1) on debut 20 days ago. Can build on it now. Much better than he could show on debut (green & met trouble); tricky draw to deal with.
7th	14 7th (14) (150/1 -50%) Upper Hand	150 150/1(-50%)	(14) Upper Hand 150/1, Fourth of 5 in maiden (80/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 14 days ago. Plenty more is required. Needs to take a big step forward with his 6f debut behind him.
8th	2 8th (2) (80/1 -142%) Beach Point	80 80/1(-142%)	(2) Beach Point 80/1, 45,000gns yearling. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Finest Leader (by Churchill). Dam, 2-y-o 5f-7f winner who stayed easy 9.5f, half-sister to useful winner up to 11f Cosmic Horizon. Hooded. Market can guide for this son of Blue Point. 45,000gns half-brother to a fair 1m2f winner; hooded for debut; longer-term prospect.
9th	3 9th (3) (250/1 -150%) Blow Me Away	250 250/1(-150%)	(3) Blow Me Away 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 11 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. Yet to beat a rival in four starts; can't be recommended.
10th	6 10th (6) (25/1 -178%) Desert Rhapsody	25 25/1(-178%)	(6) Desert Rhapsody 25/1, Foaled April 8. Blue Point gelding. Closely related to smart 7f-1m winner Positive Impact and half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m-1¼m winner Turntable and 7f/1m winner Far Hope. Wears hood. Considered debutant. Looks the part on paper; hooded for debut; betting should be revealing.
11th	9 11th (9) (200/1 -100%) Knight Templar	200 200/1(-100%)	(9) Knight Templar 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, ninth of 10 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Lots to find on form. Ran to just a modest level in three starts this summer; others have stronger claims.
12th	15 12th (15) (50/1 -52%) Orbital	50 50/1(-52%)	(15) Orbital 50/1, Foaled February 15. Pivotal filly. Dam, 9.5f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Inspiral out of smart/temperamental 2-y-o 7f winner (stayed 10.5f) Starscope. Betting may prove an accurate indicator. Dam a well-related AW winner; yard's 2yos yet to hit the target this season.
13th	11 13th (11) (6.5/1 -30%) Nukanan	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(11) Nukanan 6.5/1, Promising Magna Grecia colt. Hooded, third of 9 in minor event (12/1) at Salisbury (6f, good) on debut 21 days ago. Open to progress. Salisbury debut was full of promise; form franked since and 7f should suit; major player.
14th	10 14th (10) (40/1 -150%) Mad Punter	40 40/1(-150%)	(10) Mad Punter 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. 9/2, eighth of 9 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 64 days ago. Needs a big step forward. Attracted support in two runs in June but failed to fire; still has to time to come good.
15th	4 15th (4) (33/1 +34%) By Default	33 33/1(+34%)	(4) By Default 33/1, 50/1, last of 5 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 68 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. 50-1 when a remote last of five at Newmarket in June (7f); headgear quickly reached for.
16th	16 16th (16) (150/1 -50%) Spirit La Adelita	150 150/1(-50%)	(16) Spirit La Adelita 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm, 250/1) 19 days ago. Needs to step up. Second run was better than her debut but she'll need another jolt of improvement to win.

LTO Selection:

Emperor's Star rates highly after a couple of respectable performances and needs taking seriously. However, his costly Sandown defeat has taken a few subsequent knocks and he might be worth taking on with fellow Royal Lodge entrant ANNAFEL, who is from the family of a Dubai World Cup winner in Well Armed. The Gosdens' newcomer cost 220,000gns and is bred to be effective on synthetics so can make an immediate impact. Desert Rhapsody is another notable debutant.

A fair bit of potential on show and the market should reveal plenty but Charlie Appleby's EMPEROR'S STAR is worth siding with to bounce back from an odds-on reverse in the mud at Sandown and belatedly confirm the promise of his debut Newmarket second. Run Boy Run is feared most on the back of his own encouraging initial Newmarket second, although newcomers Annafel and Desert Rhapsody could have a say too.

Emperor's Star is greatly respected but NUKANAN is taken to build on the considerable promise of his Salisbury debut.

14:25 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 4) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:30 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 12f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (5/1 +17%) Mrembo	5 5/1(+17%)	(7) Mrembo 5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Newbury in June. Sixth of 7 in handicap at that course (10f, good, 11/2) 13 days ago. Not without each-way hope. Running creditably under Olivia Tubb until a poor show (good to soft) 13 days ago.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/1 -13%) Black Smoke	9 9/1(-13%)	(6) Black Smoke 9/1, 16/1, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, heavy) on debut for Brian Barr 26 days ago. Starts out for another new yard here and possibilities up just 2 lb, provided he proves equally effective on this faster surface. Off the mark on sole run for Brian Barr, getting up close home at Lingfield (1m2f, soft).
3	2 3rd (2) (3.33/1 +5%) Charlie Arthur	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(2) Charlie Arthur 3.33/1, Respectable second of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 4/1) 18 days ago, no match for winner. Very much of interest off the same mark here. Below best this year but placed nevertheless at Newbury and Windsor on last two outings.
4	1 4th (1) (3.5/1 -17%) This Ones For Fred	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(1) This Ones For Fred 3.5/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap (9/2) at Catterick (12.1f, good) 23 days ago, just holding on. More needed in order to complete the hat-trick but, nudged up just 1 lb, he has to enter calculations. On a hat-trick; latest win was by a short head but he is respected as an in-form candidate.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 -43%) Defence Treaty	20 20/1(-43%)	(3) Defence Treaty 20/1, Latest win at Southwell in February. 5/1, last of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good) 22 days ago. Opposable on the back of that low-key display. Ended losing sequence in February (1m3f, AW); tailed off latest start, after 102 days off.
6th	8 6th (8) (7.5/1 -7%) Hot Team	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(8) Hot Team 7.5/1, Latest win at Hamilton in May. 4/1, respectable second of 5 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Solid form chance but not certain to be suited by this step back up in trip. Beaten under 2l on last four starts, all 1m1f/1m2f; this trip could be a problem, though.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 -27%) Uther Pendragon	14 14/1(-27%)	(9) Uther Pendragon 14/1, C&D winner in July, which was his third success at this venue. Good fourth of 13 in handicap, again here (good, 12/1), 27 days ago and he shouldn't be far away. None too consistent but his last three C&D appearances included a win and close fourth.
8th	10 8th (10) (4/1 +67%) Princess T	4 4/1(+67%)	(10) Princess T 4/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D (good to soft) 36 days ago. Bit to prove on the back of that poor showing but she's on a competitive mark and could have a say if responding well to the first-time visor. No Flat win in Britain; wore cheekpieces since October 2020 but now tries a visor.
9th	4 9th (4) (66/1 +0%) Alghazaal	66 66/1(+0%)	(4) Alghazaal 66/1, 66/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good) 21 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Beaten more than 30l in his two starts back on Flat for new yard.

LTO Selection:

THIS ONES FOR FRED battled on gamely at Catterick to record his second success in as many starts and David Evans' in-form five-year-old can land the hat-trick from just 1lb higher. Black Smoke, who won on soft ground at Lingfield last time, ought to be thereabouts if handling forecast conditions. Hot Team continues to run well in defeat and is considered along with Charlie Arthur, who is edging back towards the winner's enclosure.

The vote goes to CHARLIE ARTHUR, who produced his best effort of the season so far when hitting the crossbar at Windsor recently and he remains 1 lb below his last winning mark. If Black Smoke is able to back up his heavy-ground Lingfield success under contrasting conditions here he will be a threat, while the hat-trick seeking This Ones For Fred, Princess T and Uther Pendragon all make some appeal in this open-looking affair. Hot Team has been in good form of late but appears to be best at 1¼m.

Having given easily his most competitive display to win on his British debut, BLACK SMOKE may be able to find more improvement.

14:35 Navan Maiden 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (8/1 +0%) Francis Meynell	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Francis Meynell 8/1, 70,000gns foal, 125,000gns 2-y-o. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 6f/7f winner Donnerschlag (by Bahamian Bounty) and 5f-7f (including at 2 yrs) winner Izzy Bizu (by Kodiac) and useful 2-y-o 6f winner De Boss Man (by Dandy Man). Dam 1m-9.7f winner. Respected debutant. Breeze-up purchase with plenty of speed in his pedigree; watch the market.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +17%) Emerald Banner	5 5/1(+17%)	(4) Emerald Banner 5/1, Once-raced filly. Fifth of 11 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, good, 12/1) on debut 54 days ago. Stable in good form so not ruled out if building on initial effort. Green on last month's Naas debut but showed some promise; more expected of now.
3	2 3rd (2) (0.62/1 +15%) Tourist	0.62 0.62/1(+15%)	(2) Tourist 0.62/1, Promising Zoustar colt who showed fairly useful form when second of 5 in minor event (11/2) at Naas (5f, good to firm). Off 102 days. Leading claims. May well have been waiting for better ground and likely to take the beating here.
4	8 4th (8) (3.5/1 -5%) Vanity Pays	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(8) Vanity Pays 3.5/1, Lightly-raced filly. Creditable second of 12 in maiden (5/2) at Cork (5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Well in the mix. Runner-up three times; will get her turn but no surprise if she finds one too good again.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 +60%) Awesome Spirit Gal	20 20/1(+60%)	(3) Awesome Spirit Gal 20/1, Once-raced filly. Tenth of 16 in maiden (40/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut 18 days ago. Open to improvement. Moyglare entry fanciful but no surprise if she was capable of better than her debut effort.
6th	5 6th (5) (80/1 -21%) Go On Go On Uhavit	80 80/1(-21%)	(5) Go On Go On Uhavit 80/1, Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (6f, 50/1) 16 days ago. Lots more is needed. Well beaten in two maidens but not beaten far at Dundalk latest; needs this for a mark.
7th	6 7th (6) (150/1 +25%) Our Queen Bee	150 150/1(+25%)	(6) Our Queen Bee 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 11 in maiden at Tipperary (7.4f, soft, 150/1) 20 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Has not beaten a single rival in two maidens; makes no appeal here.
8th	7 8th (7) (80/1 -60%) Sophia Klimt	80 80/1(-60%)	(7) Sophia Klimt 80/1, Foaled April 30. Gustav Klimt filly. Dam unraced. Wears tongue strap. Market can guide. Tongue-tied for her debut; likely to improve with time and a longer trip.

LTO Selection:

The Ger Lyons-trained TOURIST gets the nod over Vanity Pays. Out of dual Group 3 winner Ainippe, who Lyons also trained, the bay selection has filled the runner-up spot on his two starts to date. Beaten by high-class individuals on both occasions, he should have an easier time of things now. The 85-rated Vanity Pays has some solid efforts to her name and certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Getting a weight allowance and with Jamie Powell claiming 5lb, she will carry nearly a stone less than the selection. A solid fifth on debut, Emerald Banner should come on plenty for that effort and looks capable of making her presence felt. Newcomer Francis Meynell is closely related to a whole host of winners and is the most interesting of the remainder.

TOURIST has shaped well when runner-up on both his starts, most recently at Naas, and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better now. Vanity Pays also has some fairly useful form to her name and appeals as the one to chase home Ger Lyons' Zoustar colt ahead of Naas fifth Emerald Banner and newcomer Francis Meynell.

The selection is TOURIST, runner-up to two useful Ballydoyle colts in the Spring and well capable of winning a maiden of this standard

14:45 Carlisle Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +17%) Retirement Beckons	5 5/1(+17%)	(6) Retirement Beckons 5/1, Latest win at Ayr in August. 13/2, run best excused when fifth of 6 in handicap back at that venue (1m) 14 days ago (reportedly lame). Yard have been amongst the winners and no surprise to see a better showing. Dual 1m winner at Ayr this year but his record is very mixed; hard to predict.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +33%) Shahnaz	4 4/1(+33%)	(2) Shahnaz 4/1, Successful 3 times last term, latterly from an 11 lb higher mark over C&D 12 months ago. Exploits have been rather mixed this time around (shaped as if amiss latest) but she can't be ruled out if bouncing back down in class. Below form this season but won over C&D last year and has dropped to a tempting mark.
3	1 3rd (1) (5.5/1 +0%) Bulls Aye	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(1) Bulls Aye 5.5/1, Ended long losing run over 9f here in June and turned in best effort for some time in change of headgear when third at Musselburgh (9f) last month. Not seen to best effect back at that venue 3 weeks ago although he's not one to be making excuses for in general. Course winner in June and has quickly slipped back to a workable mark; one to consider.
4	3 4th (3) (10/1 -11%) Balqaa	10 10/1(-11%)	(3) Balqaa 10/1, Dual winner on AW last year but struggling for form upon returning to action in recent weeks, ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 16 days ago. Others make greater appeal returned to turf. Back from break with three disappointing runs this summer; much more to prove than some.
5th	9 5th (9) (33/1 -10%) Miss Connaisseur	33 33/1(-10%)	(9) Miss Connaisseur 33/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Fourth of 12 in handicap (80/1) at Salisbury (8f, good) 21 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Expected to come up short again. 25-race maiden who makes very limited appeal here.
6th	7 6th (7) (3.5/1 +0%) Precedent	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(7) Precedent 3.5/1, Maiden who produced best effort yet for this yard when second behind a progressive sort at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 2 starts back. Subsequent Beverley fifth a shade disappointing but return to this shorter trip rates a plus and he's one to consider. Second on two of five starts for this stable; a possible.
7th	8 7th (8) (5/1 +0%) Turbo Command	5 5/1(+0%)	(8) Turbo Command 5/1, Dual winner at Southwell (7f) earlier this year and creditable efforts on each of his last 3 starts on turf, third of 6 in handicap at Ayr (1m) earlier this month. Each-way possibilities again. Made the frame three consecutive times at Ayr this summer; probably in the mix again.
8th	5 8th (5) (7/1 +13%) Josiebond	7 7/1(+13%)	(5) Josiebond 7/1, Resumed winning ways at Beverley (8.5f, soft) in June and respectable efforts from revised mark next 2 starts. Rare below-par display at Doncaster (1m) 5 weeks ago but she's not the type to stay down for long. Beverley winner in June but didn't fire last time and would appeal more on slow ground.

LTO Selection:

TURBO COMMAND finished a respectable third when appearing to go for home too soon at Ayr a fortnight ago and the six-year-old may regain the winning thread if delaying his challenge in this contest. Bulls Aye drops into 0-60 company and better is expected from Iain Jardine's charge now returned to the scene of his last victory. The Intello gelding may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Retirement Beckons, who also has the form to get involved.

PRECEDENT may have found the return to 1¼m catching him out when disappointing on his latest start at Beverley in July but he'd previously shaped well when runner-up to a progressive sort at Hamilton and he could be worth chancing. Shahnaz would be a danger to all if bouncing back from her much-reduced mark. Turbo Command is also considered.

This return to good ground may prompt a revival from SHAHNAZ, who won off an 11lb higher mark over C&D last summer.

1	2 1st (2) (18/1 -64%) Dire La Verite	18 18/1(-64%)	(2) Dire La Verite 18/1, €60,000 yearling, Muhaarar colt. Brother to French 10.5f/11f winner Cap San Roman. Dam useful French 1½m/12.5f winner. Worth a market check. Enough to like on pedigree and market should be revealing.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/1 -11%) Marching Band	5 5/1(-11%)	(6) Marching Band 5/1, Once-raced gelding. Sixth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 66/1) on debut 22 days ago, well positioned. Should build on that. Green on his Kempton debut, but may fare better with the experience under his belt.
3	5 3rd (5) (2.25/1 +18%) Lohengrin	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(5) Lohengrin 2.25/1, Promising sort. 4/1 and tongue strap on, fifth of 15 in minor event at Leicester (7f, soft) on debut 29 days ago. Should improve for that initial experience, so can't be discounted. Caught the eye when fifth on Leicester debut; extra furlong should suit.
4	7 4th (7) (4.5/1 +44%) Raqeebb	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(7) Raqeebb 4.5/1, €310,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett gelding. Dam unraced sister to winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Lesstalk In Paris and half-sister to 1m winner Dastarhon, both Group 3 winners in France who stayed 1¼m. Merits respect. Plenty to like on pedigree and stable won this with a newcomer last year; interesting.
5th	9 5th (9) (2/1 -67%) Velvet Crush	2 2/1(-67%)	(9) Velvet Crush 2/1, Highly promising individual. 10/3, third of 10 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 15 days ago, missing break. Should significantly improve. Did well to reach third on her Kempton debut having blown the start; high on the list.
6th	3 6th (3) (8/1 +71%) Fictional	8 8/1(+71%)	(3) Fictional 8/1, Once-raced gelding. Sixth of 10 in minor event at this course (10f, 33/1) on debut 53 days ago. Likely to need more time. Well-held sixth on his debut here (1m2f) last month; improvement needed.
7th	8 7th (8) (300/1 -200%) Lesleyanne	300 300/1(-200%)	(8) Lesleyanne 300/1, Once-raced filly. Last of 7 in minor event (28/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) on debut 41 days ago. Down in trip. Beaten a long way into last of seven on her Nottingham debut last month; look elsewhere.
8th	1 8th (1) (250/1 -150%) Silver Atom	250 250/1(-150%)	(1) Silver Atom 250/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat. 80/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Modest hurdler for Ben Pauling and well beaten in two Flat starts for this yard.
9th	4 9th (4) (150/1 -275%) Fletcher's Flight	150 150/1(-275%)	(4) Fletcher's Flight 150/1, €47,000 foal, 27,000 gns yearling, Profitable gelding. Half-brother to winner in Italy by Prince of Lir. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to useful 7f-11f winner Autumn Blades. Not an obvious sort on paper. Bred more for speed and stable not known for winning newcomers.

LTO Selection:

As those with previous experience need to improve, well-bred newcomers Dire La Verite, a brother to a middle-distance winner in France, and RAQEEBB, whose dam is an unraced sister to a French Group 3-winning miler, appeal most on paper. The latter is preferred as he debuts for a yard that has hit a sweet spot over the last fortnight. Lohengrin can progress upped in trip, and the same can be said for Velvet Crush.

VELVET CRUSH did very well to get a place considering she completely missed the break at Kempton on debut and, with significant improvement anticipated, she gets the nod over Raqeebb, who is the clear pick of the newcomers. Lohengrin also has potential.

It may be worth siding with the nicely bred debutant RAQEEBB whose stable won this with a newcomer last year.

2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 +0%) Guest Star	6 6/1(+0%)	(6) Guest Star 6/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Eighth of 11 in nursery at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 18/1) 11 days ago. Yard having good spell. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs to get back on track. Well beaten in orthodox maidens, found 6f inadequate on handicap debut, may do better now.

4	4 4th (4) (7.5/1 -36%) Tartaraghan	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(4) Tartaraghan 7.5/1, Thrice-raced filly. 9/2 and hooded for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Gowran (7f, soft) 33 days ago. Ran with credit on penultimate outing and shouldn't be ruled out. Chance on her 3/4l second at Bellewstown, Gowran run was far too bad to be true.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 -45%) Admiral Mae	4 4/1(-45%)	(1) Admiral Mae 4/1, Foaled April 13. €37,000 yearling, U S Navy Flag gelding. Dam, 1½m winner who stayed 1¾m, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 8.3f winner (stayed 2m) Landofhopeandglory. Stable in good form. Wears blinkers. No surprise to see him go well first time up. Gelded son of U S Navy Flag out of a 1m4f handicap winner by Australia blinkered.
6th	8 6th (8) (66/1 +0%) Redondo	66 66/1(+0%)	(8) Redondo 66/1, Twice-raced gelding. 100/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft) 55 days ago. Has raced keenly in races at Down Royal and this venue ending up in rear, makes no appeal.
7th	5 7th (5) (3.33/1 +70%) Answer Me Nay	3.33 3.33/1(+70%)	(5) Answer Me Nay 3.33/1, Twice-raced filly. 33/1, eighth of 16 in maiden at Cork (6f, good) 34 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

8th	2 8th (2) (4/1 -33%) Courageous Strike	4 4/1(-33%)	(2) Courageous Strike 4/1, Lightly-raced colt. 21 lengths last of 5 to Henry Longfellow in Futurity Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 125/1) 12 days ago. Chance to make more impact dropped back in grade. Runner-up in a Roscommon maiden in May on debut, last two run have been very ambitious.
9th	10 9th (10) (40/1 -60%) Stall The Ball	40 40/1(-60%)	(10) Stall The Ball 40/1, Foaled April 22. €4,000 yearling, Gustav Klimt gelding. Half-brother to winners abroad by Rock of Gibraltar and Belardo. Half-brother to winners in Spain, dam a French-trained maiden, unlikely to feature.
10th	9 10th (9) (40/1 +20%) Soiree Dansante	40 40/1(+20%)	(9) Soiree Dansante 40/1, Twice-raced filly. 80/1, last of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (6f) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Has finished at the back in outings at Leopardstown and Dundalk, safe out to rule out.

LTO Selection:

One of two newcomers in the line-up, ADMIRAL MAE won't have to be a star to take this. Out of a half-sister to seven-time winner Landofhopeandglory, who won over a mile on debut, he is in for the maximum claiming price of 30,000 euros. Joseph O'Brien trains the selection and is also represented by Answer Me Nay. The Ten Sovereigns bay has two solid efforts to her name and it'll be interesting to see how she fares going out in trip. Second on debut at Roscommon in May, Courageous Strike takes a significant drop in class after finishing last of five in the Futurity Stakes. The chestnut colt is given second preference and it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end. Tartaraghan flopped on soft ground at Gowran last month and a much improved performance can be expected from her now, while Nika Pika, Guest Star (first-time blinkers) and Not Far To Fall are others who warrant respect.

ADMIRAL MAE makes some appeal on pedigree and represents a top stable, so he's worth a chance to make a winning start in first-time blinkers in a race where the bar isn't set very high by those with experience. A return to form from either Courageous Strike or Tartaraghan would put them in the mix.

This is a huge drop in class for COURAGEOUS STRIKE and he may be able to take advantage. Blinkered newcomer Admiral Mae may feature

1	2 1st (2) (0.44/1 +65%) Alaskan Gold	0.44 0.44/1(+65%)	(2) Alaskan Gold 0.44/1, £200,000 2-y-o, Kodiac colt. Improved on debut form when third in a 13-runner Goodwood maiden (6f) 30 days ago. A repeat should see him tough to beat in this less demanding affair. Third in strong races on his two starts and he holds leading form claims.
2	8 2nd (8) (3/1 +25%) Welcome Dream	3 3/1(+25%)	(8) Welcome Dream 3/1, Night of Thunder colt who has displayed promise both starts to date, shaping more like a stayer than may be expected on pedigree when plugging on for sixth in Ascot maiden (6f) 33 days ago. May yet to do better, including when tackling 7f. Again displayed promise when sixth in hot maiden at Ascot and he's one to consider.
3	4 3rd (4) (33/1 -136%) Inspiring Speeches	33 33/1(-136%)	(4) Inspiring Speeches 33/1, €47,000 yearling, Churchill colt. Not without promise when fifth of 14 in maiden at Thirsk (6f) 2 weeks ago, outpaced 2f out and keeping on final 1f. This stiffer track will suit on that evidence. Fair fifth at Thirsk on recent debut and can improve, but well down pecking order on form.
4	10 4th (10) (10/1 -100%) Go Big Or Go Home	10 10/1(-100%)	(10) Go Big Or Go Home 10/1, Half-sister to top-class sprinter Battaash who showed some ability amidst greenness when 5 lengths fourth of 7 in a Beverley novice (5f) 2 weeks ago, running green before taking fourth late on. Should improve. Inexperience evident on debut; this half-sister to Battaash is open to lots of improvement.
5th	1 5th (1) (16/1 -129%) Empire Of Light	16 16/1(-129%)	(1) Empire Of Light 16/1, Came on plenty for debut and showed a determined attitude when landing 9-runner Newmarket novice (6f) in June. Clearly not 100% when tailed off last of 10 at Windsor since but should bounce back. Tailed off at Windsor last month but won at Newmarket previously and is not written off.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 -106%) Sweet Soul Music	33 33/1(-106%)	(7) Sweet Soul Music 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good, 6/1) 22 days ago, beaten when hanging left over 1f out. Nurseries entitled to be more his bag. Kept on for eyecatching 4th at Beverley on debut but failed to build on it at Pontefract.
7th	3 7th (3) (100/1 -186%) Infinite Honour	100 100/1(-186%)	(3) Infinite Honour 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) on debut 27 days ago, travelling into contention before running green under pressure. Entitled to progress. His debut fifth at Musselburgh wasn't devoid of promise but he needs a big step forward.
8th	6 8th (6) (33/1 -32%) State Of Chaos	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) State Of Chaos 33/1, Dark Angel colt who was sent off at long odds but showed ability nevertheless when seventh of 13 in a Wolverhampton novice (6f) 17 days ago. In good hands and he's entitled to progress. In good hands and could be much sharper for debut experience, but has plenty to find.
9th	9 9th (9) (80/1 +0%) Flow So Gently	80 80/1(+0%)	(9) Flow So Gently 80/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, last of 7 in minor event at Ayr (7.2f, good) on debut 24 days ago, looking green and weakening over 1f out. This promises to reveal more but others make much more appeal. Finished down the field at Ayr (7f, good to soft) on debut and a watching brief is advised.
10th	5 10th (5) (100/1 -52%) Papagrey	100 100/1(-52%)	(5) Papagrey 100/1, Foaled April 20. Ardad colt. Brother to 7f winner Platinum Girl and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 1¼m winner Highwaygrey and 1m winner Delgrey Boy. Yard know this family well but likelihood is he'll be better for this initial experience. Trainer has done well with this family but he may be one for further down the line.
11th	11 11th (11) (100/1 -52%) Somekindawonderful	100 100/1(-52%)	(11) Somekindawonderful 100/1, Foaled April 16. Lightning Spear filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Dream Revival. Dam maiden (likely to have stayed 1¼m). Probably best watched on debut. Half-sister to 5f AW winner Dream Revival (RPR 61); makes debut and probably best watched.

LTO Selection:

It is hard to oppose ALASKAN GOLD, who has made the frame in both previous starts and the strength of his form suggests that the son of Kodiac is more than capable of getting off the mark here. Welcome Dream is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection, although Empire Of Light and Go Big Or Go Home should not be discounted.

ALASKAN GOLD improved on his debut form when finishing a good third in a Goodwood maiden (6f) 4 weeks ago and, back in calmer waters, he looks the one to beat. Welcome Dream has showed promise himself in 2 starts to date and is feared, with the very well related Go Big Or Go Home and Empire of Light completing the shortlist.

The Karl Burke-trained ALASKAN GOLD has finished third in hot races on his first two starts and is taken to get off the mark.

First run for yard after leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Difficult ask. 2-3 on the AW, but shown little since returning in April; enough to prove.

LTO Selection:

Brian Ellison fields a a couple with solid chances and while Ramiro has already enjoyed some success this campaign, the in-form NORTHERN SPIRIT could be the trainer's best hope. The three-year-old is two from six on the all-weather so far and, assuming he handles the switch to Polytrack, he has a lot going for him, despite creeping up the handicap. Zaman Jemil and Knebworth are also considered.

LULWORTH COVE is well treated and left the impression that a return to form may be imminent when sixth (met trouble) at Windsor a fortnight ago, so she's worth chancing despite a wide draw. Recent Wolverhampton winner Hello Me is an obvious danger and Northern Spirit merits respect.

It may be worth giving BEAR PROFIT another chance. He likes it here (record 1134) and has dropped 6lb lower than when last successful.

7th	15 7th (15) (16/1 -14%) Toriangel	16 16/1(-14%)	(15) Toriangel 16/1, Eleventh of 15 in handicap (5/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 14 days ago. Can make presence felt if shrugging off latest effort. Third to Eastern Wind at Leopardstown and not beaten far there last time; could run well.
8th	11 8th (11) (18/1 -29%) Exquisite Acclaim	18 18/1(-29%)	(11) Exquisite Acclaim 18/1, Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good, 28/1) 15 days ago. Stable in good form. Cheekpieces back on. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Third to a stablemate in a 7f Gowran handicap two weeks ago; chance if he can step forward.
9th	13 9th (13) (14/1 +58%) Solar Breeze	14 14/1(+58%)	(13) Solar Breeze 14/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Eleventh of 15 in handicap (12/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 44 days ago, slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter. Needs to raise her game following Killarney run; that came after a good break.
10th	4 10th (4) (4.5/1 +31%) Eastern Wind	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(4) Eastern Wind 4.5/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in July. 15/2, good third of 11 in handicap there (7f, good) 7 days ago. Player eased 1 lb. Close third in a better Leopardstown handicap last week; likely to be thereabouts.
11th	19 11th (19) (33/1 +18%) Might And Mercy	33 33/1(+18%)	(19) Might And Mercy 33/1, Creditable sixth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good, 20/1) 14 days ago. Shortlisted. RESERVE. First reserve; had a couple of these behind at Leopardstown; each-way claims.
12th	8 12th (8) (8/1 +0%) Is That Love	8 8/1(+0%)	(8) Is That Love 8/1, Sole run for John J. Nallen when winning 12-runner claimer (2/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 14 days ago. Not ruled out for another new stable now. Leopardstown claimer winner; first start for a new yard here and comes into calculations.
13th	5 13th (5) (66/1 -100%) Mulgrave	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Mulgrave 66/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in February. 20/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 49 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Needs to come down a few more pounds before heading back to Dundalk for the winter.
14th	1 14th (1) (12/1 +57%) Brogue	12 12/1(+57%)	(1) Brogue 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. Below form fifth of 10 in minor event at Leopardstown (15f, good, 5/2). Off over 2 years. Significantly down in trip. Stable having good spell. More needed on his handicap debut. Has never run over a trip this short; not dismissed with the stable in such good form.
15th	17 15th (17) (14/1 +13%) Rochester Mike	14 14/1(+13%)	(17) Rochester Mike 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 13/2) 77 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Gelded since June and cheekpieces tried; unexposed and could prove very well handicapped.
16th	9 16th (9) (7.5/1 -7%) Punk Poet	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(9) Punk Poet 7.5/1, 4/1, improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (8f) 16 days ago, keeping on well. Player off turf mark. Up 11lb for Dundalk but still treated well enough on his best form; not one to rule out.
17th	12 17th (12) (33/1 +0%) Zahee	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Zahee 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Eleventh of 17 in handicap (16/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 84 days ago. Unreliable type. Down 3lb from last week but probably needs to come down a bit more.

LTO Selection:

PERFECT POISE is drawn wide and faces seasoned campaigners, but met trouble on her handicap debut. By Kodiac and out of a Listed winner, she was drawn similarly wide in 18 at Leopardstown when meeting significant traffic and having been beaten just six lengths (with reserve Might And Mercy finishing sixth and Toriangel 11th), can win from her rating. Punk Poet is drawn wider in 20 but is ideally suited by a mile. He has been hit with a 14lb rise for winning at Dundalk but was rated 87 just last year. Is That Love has hopped from yard to yard having run in consecutive recent claimers, but faces a tougher test. Eastern Wind is ground-versatile and in form, while Royal Pippen would prefer easy ground and was well held at Ayr. Five-time winner Imposing Supreme is able at this level, Exquisite Acclaim's rating has fallen, and Signora Bellissima runs in first-time blinkers.

Lots with chances but EASTERN WIND looks the way to go eased 1 lb on the back of his good Leopardstown third last time out. Handicap debutante Miss McHenry appeals as a likely improver so merits plenty of respect along with Dundalk scorer Punk Poet.

There could be more to come from ROCHESTER MIKE(nap), yet to fire this season but gelded since his last run and with cheekpieces tried

15:45 Carlisle Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (2.75/1 -10%) Rock Of England	2.75 2.75/1(-10%)	(5) Rock Of England 2.75/1, Much improved equipped with first-time blinkers when doubling career tally at Hamilton (6f) in June and creditable efforts all 3 starts since, sixth in 11-runner Redcar handicap (6f) 3 weeks ago. No surprise to see him go well again with visor the headgear of choice. In fine form prior to lesser run at Redcar, but had an excuse; could play leading role.
2	2 2nd (2) (5.5/1 +31%) Glorious Angel	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(2) Glorious Angel 5.5/1, Rattled off a quick-fire hat-trick on AW around the turn of the year and she ran right up to the pick of her form on turf when fifth at Redcar (6f) 3 weeks ago. Went off too hard in listed company at Pontefract since but this rates more suitable back in a handicap. Close fifth in Redcar handicap two starts ago and Listed company was too much last time.
3	6 3rd (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Secret Guest	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(6) Secret Guest 4.5/1, Latest win at Doncaster (6f) in May. Respectable eighth of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 14/1) 12 days ago, likely he'd have finished closer without being hampered. Remains relatively low mileage and he's not out of things. Unlucky at Newmarket 12 days ago and he's one to consider having been dropped 2lb.
4	7 4th (7) (25/1 +24%) Sparkling Red	25 25/1(+24%)	(7) Sparkling Red 25/1, Latest win at Redcar (5f) in May. 25/1, bit below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago, never nearer. Others more persuasive. All starts at 5f; in good form in May/June but hasn't threatened the last twice.
5th	9 5th (9) (3/1 +54%) Thankuappreciate	3 3/1(+54%)	(9) Thankuappreciate 3/1, 6f novice winner as a juvenile who has made the frame on 5 of his 7 starts in 3-y-o handicaps this term. Slow starts have proven his Achilles' heel as a rule but present mark looks workable and no surprise to see a good showing starting out for new yard. Positive performances in defeat in the main this season; very interesting on stable debut.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/1 +31%) Utilis	11 11/1(+31%)	(8) Utilis 11/1, Fifth of 6 in maiden (6/5) at Haydock (7f, good to soft) 41 days ago, headed over 1f out and weakening. Cheekpieces on 1st time ahead of return to handicaps but he does arrive with something to prove. Has had wind surgery. Disappointing this year but perhaps wind surgery (and first-time cheekpieces) will help.
7th	4 7th (4) (12/1 +0%) Shandy Star	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Shandy Star 12/1, Cotai Glory filly who was kept busy as a juvenile, gaining third career success in a Pontefract nursery (6f) in October. Struggled up in grade/trip on final start later that month and she's been absent since. First run of the year but won three times last season; one to watch in the betting.
8th	12 8th (12) (14/1 +30%) Sunny Orange	14 14/1(+30%)	(12) Sunny Orange 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 15 days ago, well positioned. Down in trip. Below par last time and questionable whether he wants today's drop back to a sprint trip.
9th	13 9th (13) (16/1 -78%) Canaria Queen	16 16/1(-78%)	(13) Canaria Queen 16/1, Pastoral Pursuits filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Canaria Prince. Gradual progress in trio of maiden/novice events to date, edged out late by a promising newcomer at Leicester (5f) 5 weeks ago. That unlikely to prove her limit now switched to handicaps. Brings potential to handicap debut and her useful dam improved with time for this yard.
10th	3 10th (3) (33/1 -65%) Flag Flying	33 33/1(-65%)	(3) Flag Flying 33/1, Looked well-above average when making a winning debut at Goodwood (6f) last summer but disappointing in trio of starts after, always behind when last of 8 on yard debut at Wolverhampton (6f) in December. Absent since and the betting may guide. Impressive on debut last June but disappointing subsequently; makes belated reappearance.
11th	10 11th (10) (80/1 -100%) Save The World	80 80/1(-100%)	(10) Save The World 80/1, Successful on third start in novice company at Nottingham (6f) for Jane Chapple-Hyam back in October. Switched yards/gelded thereafter but he's offered very little in pair of sprint handicaps in recent months. Had wind op/tongue tie now reached for. Tailed off on both starts this term; hopes pinned on wind op sparking a transformation.

LTO Selection:

CANARIA QUEEN has improved with every start to date and she was last seen finishing a head second at Leicester last month. Tim Easterby's filly may have more progression left to come and a mark of 66 could underestimate her on handicap debut. Glorious Angel has to be respected now eased significantly in grade, while William Dewhirst edges out Rock Of England to be best of the rest.

THANKUAPPRECIATE needs to cut out the slow starts but he appeals as being on a workable mark on the pick of this season's form and, having eased further in the weights, he could be worth siding with to make a winning debut for the Declan Carroll yard. Rock of England is going through a good spell and is feared most, with Secret Guest also expected to feature.

The consistent THANKUAPPRECIATE earns the vote on his first run for Declan Carroll, while Rock Of England is feared most.

1	1 1st (1) (5/1 +9%) Boom The Groom	5 5/1(+9%)	(1) Boom The Groom 5/1, 22/1, won 13-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Much respected under a 4 lb penalty. 4lb penalty for recent win but has the plum draw against the inside rail.
2	11 2nd (11) (9/1 +10%) Darlo Pride	9 9/1(+10%)	(11) Darlo Pride 9/1, Very good fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 16 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Not ruled out. 0-10; not far behind a couple of these here last time but needs to step up again.
3	7 3rd (7) (25/1 -14%) Storm Melody	25 25/1(-14%)	(7) Storm Melody 25/1, C&D winner. Below form fourth of 9 in minor event at this course (6f, 12/1) 16 days ago. Blinkers back on with more needed. C&D winner who is 5lb below his last winning mark but not sure he can take advantage.
4	8 4th (8) (5.5/1 +27%) Universal Grace	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(8) Universal Grace 5.5/1, 18/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, good second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago. In the picture. 0-10, but only found one too good over C&D 16 days ago; shouldn't be far away.
5th	4 5th (4) (1.62/1 +60%) Laertes	1.62 1.62/1(+60%)	(4) Laertes 1.62/1, Good third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 10/3) 37 days ago on his final run for Michael & David Easterby. Still low mileage so he's very much one to consider for his new stable off a 3 lb lower mark. Oisin Murphy up now too. 0-10; down another 3lb on stable debut and interesting to see how he fares in the market.
6th	10 6th (10) (25/1 +0%) Reversion	25 25/1(+0%)	(10) Reversion 25/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 36 days ago. Can give a good account. Losing run up to 22 but went close off this mark at Wolverhampton in May.
7th	5 7th (5) (16/1 +43%) Toplight	16 16/1(+43%)	(5) Toplight 16/1, C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/1) 87 days ago. Rejoined yard after leaving Tony Carroll. Blinkers back on. Ought to be in the shake-up. C&D winner back with his former trainer; 1lb below last winning mark.
8th	9 8th (9) (20/1 -11%) Next Second	20 20/1(-11%)	(9) Next Second 20/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, below form fifth of 10 in minor event at this course (6f) 23 days ago. Not taken lightly at these weights if shrugging off latest effort. Again found 6f too far here last time but she is up against it from the widest stall.
9th	6 9th (6) (10/1 -18%) Mintana	10 10/1(-18%)	(6) Mintana 10/1, C&D winner. 9/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, good) 50 days ago. Needs considering. Back off the same mark as when winning over C&D in February; worth a second look.
10th	2 10th (2) (9/1 -29%) Profitable Dawn	9 9/1(-29%)	(2) Profitable Dawn 9/1, 5/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago. One for the shortlist. 0-11; third over C&D last time, but hold-up tactics aren't easy to execute over 5f here.

LTO Selection:

Under Curfew was beaten just a neck into second at Chepstow last week and arrives 3lb well-in. The seven-year-old, who has been running consistently well of late, is likely to be competitive once again. Universal Grace (second) and Profitable Dawn (third) were closely matched here earlier in the month and command respect, but a chance is taken with LAERTES. He has joined Mick Appleby since his latest start, when making the frame at Wolverhampton, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him improve.

This looks wide open but LAERTES is taken to make a winning start for Mick Appleby having slipped in the weights and gain his breakthrough success, with Oisin Murphy in the saddle for the first time. Under Curfew is handily weighted and rates a big threat with recent Lingfield scorer Boom the Groom also highly respected along with C&D second Universal Grace.

The veteran BOOM THE GROOM can record career win number 12. He has the necessary early pace to make full use of the inside stall.

Info	Form	Odds
1	11 1st (11) (33/1 -65%) Charlie Darling	33 33/1(-65%)	(11) Charlie Darling 33/1, Good fourth of 12 in claimer at Sligo (10.5f, good to soft, 33/1) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Morte on his plate back in a handicap. Raised 9lb for finishing fourth in a claimer, previous handicap form makes him vulnerable.
2	10 2nd (10) (3.33/1 +39%) Macinamillion	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(10) Macinamillion 3.33/1, Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good to soft, 7/1) 34 days ago. Can make presence felt. Improved effort when third over 1m3f at Killarney, not beaten far in 1m5f Down Royal race.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 -17%) Kermiya	7 7/1(-17%)	(3) Kermiya 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft, 40/1) 45 days ago. Up in trip. Stable in good form. Makes handicap debut. Potential improver. One place in front of Alluring, appeals as a more likely staying type than that opponent.
4	8 4th (8) (16/1 +36%) Laudable	16 16/1(+36%)	(8) Laudable 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 15 in handicap at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Up in trip. Stable in good form. Soundly beaten in his first two handicaps, main positive is trainer's good current form.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 +52%) Blenheim Lad	12 12/1(+52%)	(5) Blenheim Lad 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good, 14/1) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Well beaten on handicap debut over 1m4f at Roscommon, same latest over 1m1f.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 -83%) Alluring	22 22/1(-83%)	(2) Alluring 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 13 in maiden (50/1) at Killarney (11.2f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Up in trip. Stable having good spell. Makes handicap debut. Well bred and potential improver in this sphere. Has shown some promise in maidens, but pedigree does not guarantee she will stay this far.
7th	6 7th (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Glyde Ranger	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(6) Glyde Ranger 4.5/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (16/1) at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago, having benefit of enterprising ride. Recorded wide-margin win over 1m5f at Sligo, up 9lb for that and stamina not an issue.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 -100%) Sparkit	28 28/1(-100%)	(7) Sparkit 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. 4/1 and visored for 1st time, seventh of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Killarney (17f, good) 41 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Third on the first of two juvenile hurdle outings, Flat form has been modest, cheekpieces.
9th	4 9th (4) (8/1 +50%) Rauzan	8 8/1(+50%)	(4) Rauzan 8/1, 20/1, bit below form twelfth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. May struggle to reverse Down Royal form with Macinamillion, down the field at the Curragh.
10th	12 10th (12) (14/1 +30%) Real History	14 14/1(+30%)	(12) Real History 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft). Off 133 days. Visor on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Finished with only one behind him on handicap debut over 1m1f at this venue, hard to fancy.
11th	1 11th (1) (18/1 -140%) Navajo River	18 18/1(-140%)	(1) Navajo River 18/1, Lightly-raced winner. 200/1, career best when winning 12-runner maiden at Roscommon (12f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Has good chance on form. Into handicap company after 1m4f Roscommon win at 200-1, plenty of weight, useful claim.
12th	9 12th (9) (3.33/1 +17%) Navy Beach	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(9) Navy Beach 3.33/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable ninth of 17 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft, 9/4) 27 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Remains unexposed and Colin Keane takes the ride again. First two handicap runs were quite promising, disappointing Galway display, new trip now.
13th	13 13th (13) (33/1 +18%) Annalough	33 33/1(+18%)	(13) Annalough 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 12 lengths eighth of 12 to Navajo River in maiden at Roscommon (12f, good to soft, 100/1) 9 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Finished last on both starts in maidens at two, better over 1m4f on return, 1m6f may suit.

LTO Selection:

KERMIYA should be suited by this staying distance and runs in her first handicap. Aga Khan-bred, she contested a hot maiden on debut and while disappointing in June, ran nicely to the line at Killarney, suggesting she is progressive. Alluring was a length and a half behind the selection and has a similar profile. She, too, is well bred, ran nicely at Killarney and is also likely to be suited by this distance on handicap debut. Galileo-sired Navy Beach has the pedigree to nuke his 59-rating but was disappointing in a first-time tongue-tie at Galway. He has caught the eye on occasions and it is very notable he almost doubles in distance today. Navajo River won an ordinary Roscommon maiden at 200/1 and races on drier ground. Glyde Ranger, by a sprinting sire, won well over a similar distance at Sligo but would prefer soft ground.

There didn't look to be any fluke about NAVAJO RIVER's shock maiden win last week and an opening mark of 70 could prove lenient. Kermiya and Alluring appeal as possible improvers in handicaps and head the dangers along with Sligo scorer Glyde Ranger.

The Aga Khan's KERMIYA has run in good maidens and may be better suited by this trip than Alluring, 1 1/2l behind her at Killarney

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (4/1 +43%) Up The Jazz	4 4/1(+43%)	(7) Up The Jazz 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, last of 4 in nursery at Hamilton (6f, good) 41 days ago but the return to 7f may see him in a better light. Ran well in two relatively warm sellers; didn't look happy on the track in Hamilton h'cap.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 +46%) Action Plan	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(1) Action Plan 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in nursery (13/2) at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect. Only seventh of eight on nursery debut but perhaps the cheekpieces will unlock improvement.
3	4 3rd (4) (5.5/1 +8%) Vice Captain	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(4) Vice Captain 5.5/1, Fair form. Not seen to best effect when fourth of 6 in maiden at Chelmsford (1m) 23 days ago. Hood worn on that occasion retained. Makes handicap debut. Mark looks workable. 0-6 in maidens/novices but looks to be on a fair mark for his nursery debut.
4	5 4th (5) (7/1 -100%) Star Of Lazise	7 7/1(-100%)	(5) Star Of Lazise 7/1, Career best when winning 8-runner nursery (11/1) at Newcastle (7f) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly up 4 lb. Inconsistent but won AW nursery last time and bang there if on another going day.
5th	3 5th (3) (6.5/1 +46%) Krysdanjord	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(3) Krysdanjord 6.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 13 in maiden at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm, 100/1) 15 days ago, not clear run. Makes handicap debut. Mark demands improvement. Soundly beaten on all three runs but has made the journey from Newmarket for nursery debut.
6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 +40%) Peaceful Protest	12 12/1(+40%)	(11) Peaceful Protest 12/1, Modest form. 14/1 and cheekpieces on first time, bit below form seventh of 12 in nursery at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 14 days ago, worst of draw. Things didn't go her way on nursery debut at Beverley; could be more competitive here.
7th	6 7th (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Quintus Maximus	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(6) Quintus Maximus 4.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Best effort when third of 8 in novice at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago, having run of race. Makes handicap debut. From a good yard so could have more to offer. 3rd of eight on latest novice start and could continue to progress now moving into h'caps.
8th	8 8th (8) (16/1 -45%) Smooth Silesie	16 16/1(-45%)	(8) Smooth Silesie 16/1, Modest form. 40/1, seventh of 10 in nursery at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Placed on first two starts but two lesser runs since, most recently on nursery debut.

LTO Selection:

QUINTUS MAXIMUS (third) had Happy Helen (fourth) a neck behind him at Thirsk on his latest start, which was by far the best effort of his career so far and he could have plenty more to come on his nursery bow of what appears a fair opening mark of 66. Star Of Lazise looks like the main threat after he showed much improved form to score over this trip at Newcastle last time and he could have a say off a 4lb higher mark. Action Plan is another to consider.

STAR OF LAZISE might be able to overcome a 4 lb rise for Newcastle. Vice Captain hasn't been at the top of his game in recent starts but there were excuses last time and his opening mark looks fair if recapturing his best form. Quintus Maximus and Happy Helen are closely matched on recent Thirsk novice form and could have more to come now handicapping.

Having been on the wrong end of both a draw and pace bias when mid-division at Beverley, PEACEFUL PROTEST gets the nod.

16:25 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Frankfreya	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(6) Frankfreya 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 15/2) 17 days ago, left poorly placed. Significantly up in trip for this polytrack debut. Lost his race at the start on handicap debut; may appreciate this longer trip on breeding.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 +20%) Twilight Guest	8 8/1(+20%)	(1) Twilight Guest 8/1, Eighth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and this 12-race maiden will probably come up short once more. 0-12; drop to this level for the first time, but widest stall not ideal over this trip.
3	5 3rd (5) (3/1 -9%) Daisy Roots	3 3/1(-9%)	(5) Daisy Roots 3/1, Winner at Ffos Las in July. Very good third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 15/2) 8 days ago. Back up in trip and one to take seriously with Oisin Murphy in the saddle. Twice run well since winning at Ffos Las; due another 1lb rise; one to be interested in.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 -25%) Fully Deployed	10 10/1(-25%)	(2) Fully Deployed 10/1, 28/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 13 days ago. Up in trip here and hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces sparking improvement. Out of the frame in all seven starts; up in trip with cheekpieces on.
5th	10 5th (10) (7.5/1 +63%) James Bradley	7.5 7.5/1(+63%)	(10) James Bradley 7.5/1, Course winner. 28/1, fourth of 10 in minor event at this course (8f) 7 days ago. Back up in trip and he's likely to find a few too good. Beat three rivals here in January, but modest since; place claims at best.
6th	12 6th (12) (7.5/1 -15%) Seraphia	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(12) Seraphia 7.5/1, Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 21 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. 0-8; return to this trip may suit but well beaten in one start on AW; others more solid.
7th	11 7th (11) (40/1 +0%) Capla Quest	40 40/1(+0%)	(11) Capla Quest 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, seventh of 10 in nursery at Redcar (8f, heavy). Off 10 months. Up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Plenty more needed. Well beaten in four starts on turf last year; bred to appreciate the longer trip.
8th	4 8th (4) (6/1 +8%) Native Melody	6 6/1(+8%)	(4) Native Melody 6/1, Winner at Lingfield in August. 5/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Probably best to overlook that run (slipped entering straight) and she's not discounted. Won at Lingfield this month and had excuses last time; ran well here on debut; shortlisted.
9th	8 9th (8) (11/1 +39%) Lady Clemmie	11 11/1(+39%)	(8) Lady Clemmie 11/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap (20/1) at Lingfield (9f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and needs to raise her game a touch. Out of the frame in all seven starts on turf; is a half-sister to an AW winner.
10th	3 10th (3) (80/1 -100%) Certain Style	80 80/1(-100%)	(3) Certain Style 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in handicap (66/1) at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Readily passed over. Some ability on second start but twice well held since; more needed.
11th	9 11th (9) (33/1 +18%) Balmy Breese	33 33/1(+18%)	(9) Balmy Breese 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 66/1) 17 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Huge prices and well beaten in four starts; much more required.
12th	7 12th (7) (14/1 -87%) Twilight Jazz	14 14/1(-87%)	(7) Twilight Jazz 14/1, Winner at Leicester in July. 11/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 30 days ago, going off too hard. Stamina didn't appear to be a problem when second over 9.5f at Wolverhampton in January and she's high on the shortlist. 1-14; has run well over a similar trip; holds claims despite a wider draw than ideal.

LTO Selection:

DAISY ROOTS backed up her classified efforts when placed in handicap company at Kempton last week and Adam West's filly is unexposed over this distance, having finished third on her only attempt at Brighton. Native Melody can be forgiven her latest run at Doncaster, when slipping on the home turn, and is better judged on her Lingfield success prior. Frankfreya was outpaced on his handicap bow at Wolverhampton, but the step up in trip is likely to aid his cause.

DAISY ROOTS has improved of late, opening her account at Ffos Las late last month prior to posting solid efforts in defeat at Brighton and Kempton. She is unexposed at this trip and looks the way to go with Oisin Murphy doing the steering. Next on the list is Twilight Jazz, who shouldn't be judged too harshly on her latest effort and was in good form prior to that. Native Melody is best of the rest.

Preference is for DAISY ROOTS (nap) who has won relatively recently and is due a 1lb rise for her near miss at Kempton eight days ago.

2	16 2nd (16) (8/1 +43%) Appian Way	8 8/1(+43%)	(16) Appian Way 8/1, 12/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.4f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time on the Flat (on when winning over jumps). Needs a couple of these to falter. Won twice over hurdles last autumn for Charles O'Brien, fair Flat run at Tramore in June.
3	19 3rd (19) (28/1 -27%) Tenth Amendment	28 28/1(-27%)	(19) Tenth Amendment 28/1, One win from 44 Flat runs. Thirty one runs since last win in 2018. 40/1, bit below form eleventh of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good) 18 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. 1-44 on Flat, best run this season was on penultimate start, hard to make a strong case.
4	13 4th (13) (4/1 +50%) Fond Farewell	4 4/1(+50%)	(13) Fond Farewell 4/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Limerick in April. Bit below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (11.3f, good, 5/2) 69 days ago. Up in trip. Yard in good form. Started the season well with 1m3f Limerick win on soft, beaten favourite on follow-up bid.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/1 -50%) Celtic Revival	9 9/1(-50%)	(1) Celtic Revival 9/1, 9/2, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 16 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and each-way chance. Three-time 1m4f Dundalk winner early in the year, good run over extended 1m2f last time.
6th	11 6th (11) (14/1 -17%) Indignation	14 14/1(-17%)	(11) Indignation 14/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Roscommon (12f, good to soft, 9/1) 9 days ago, not clear run. Others more persuasive. 15-race maiden, solid display on only run last season, held by Franno on Roscommon run.
7th	10 7th (10) (12/1 +57%) Virtual Hug	12 12/1(+57%)	(10) Virtual Hug 12/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft, 8/1) 22 days ago. Something to find on form. Juvenile hurdle winner is a maiden on the Flat after 18 starts, others preferred.
8th	6 8th (6) (7/1 +50%) Pale Moonlight	7 7/1(+50%)	(6) Pale Moonlight 7/1, 7/1, bit below form sixth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (12.8f, good to soft) 42 days ago, slowly away. Stable in good form. Folly to ignore on pick of form. Won over 1m at two, no further success but has each-way prospects at this trip.
9th	2 9th (2) (8.5/1 +58%) Oranmore	8.5 8.5/1(+58%)	(2) Oranmore 8.5/1, Winner at Bellewstown in July. Respectable ninth of 16 in handicap (11/1) at Galway (14.1f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won at Bellewstown three starts ago, fair fifth at Leopardstown, not as good at Galway.
10th	9 10th (9) (18/1 -29%) Prince Of Abington	18 18/1(-29%)	(9) Prince Of Abington 18/1, Twenty-eight runs since last win in 2020. Bit below form eighth of 18 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft, 9/2) 36 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Navan third offered some hope that he can end a losing sequence, beaten favourite since.
11th	14 11th (14) (10/1 +75%) Scalor	10 10/1(+75%)	(14) Scalor 10/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Winning hurdler/chaser, 0-13 on Flat, others have stronger credentials.

13th	7 13th (7) (20/1 +20%) Jomont	20 20/1(+20%)	(7) Jomont 20/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 20/1, bit below form seventh of 16 in handicap at Naas (10.5f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Won two AW handicaps for Michael Dods in 2021, good run at Sligo on penultimate start.
14th	3 14th (3) (12/1 -71%) Elzaamsan	12 12/1(-71%)	(3) Elzaamsan 12/1, Blinkered for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable seventh of 14 in handicap (11/1) at Leopardstown (15f, good to soft) 35 days ago, not clear run. Shortlist material. 15-race maiden has gone close a few times; needs to improve on this year's turf form.
15th	17 15th (17) (80/1 -21%) Ben Alexander	80 80/1(-21%)	(17) Ben Alexander 80/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 80/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 20 days ago. Uphill task. Placed over 1m here three seasons ago, struggled at Tipperary on first run after a layoff.
16th	15 16th (15) (100/1 +0%) Hague Convention	100 100/1(+0%)	(15) Hague Convention 100/1, Sixteenth of 18 in handicap (66/1) at Galway (11.8f, heavy). Off 10 months. Six years since he was second at Bellewstown, struggled on only 2022 run after long layoff.
17th	8 17th (8) (7/1 -8%) Franno	7 7/1(-8%)	(8) Franno 7/1, Unreliable sort. Latest win at Bellewstown in July. 5/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Roscommon (12f, good to soft) 9 days ago, not clear run. Needs a couple of these to falter. Holding her form well since Bellewstown win, ran on late over 1m4f at Roscommon.

LTO Selection:

CELTIC REVIVAL is drawn wide in 19 and is a maiden on turf but has been running well. By Sea The Stars, he improved when upped to middle-distances this year, likes good ground and competes at this 47-65 grade under a 7lb claimer. Fond Farewell's yard was out of form when he disappointed in June but is flying now. He returns from a mini-break and is just 3lb higher than when winning at Limerick, and also steps up in distance. Make Good is well handicapped in this sphere but is lightly raced. A Cheltenham Grade 2-winning hurdler, he returned from 683 days off when a fine third at the Curragh last October, but will benefit from today's latest reappearance. Three-time winner Franno has been running well, while Curious Bride ran well on recent reappearance and has proven stamina. Pale Moonlight has been running reasonably well but hasn't won since October 2021.

ELZAAMSAN remains a maiden following 15 attempts but he caught the eye in this headgear combination at Leopardstown last time and, granted better luck-in-running here, he could be the answer. Make Good was returning from a lengthy absence when a close third in a big-field handicap at the Curragh in October and will be a big threat if able to build on that back from a 10-month break. Celtic Revival and Curious Bride are others to consider.

With his stable in excellent form lately, FOND FAREWELL may recover losses incurred when a beaten favourite at Limerick in June.

1	7 1st (7) (14/1 -17%) B Associates	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) B Associates 14/1, In very good form at the start of the summer, including a C&D win. Not at best lately but the drop back to 6f may not have suited here last week. Four wins this season but his progress has stalled on his last three starts.
2	5 2nd (5) (1.75/1 +13%) Vixey	1.75 1.75/1(+13%)	(5) Vixey 1.75/1, Came good in 12-runner maiden (5/4) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, always holding on. Runner-up twice in handicaps prior to that, including C&D. Likely to go well. Two h'cap seconds before Redcar maiden win; lightly raced & could still have more to offer.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 -71%) Patontheback	6 6/1(-71%)	(2) Patontheback 6/1, Latest win at Newcastle in August. Good second of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good, 3/1) 20 days ago. Big shout. Comfortable AW win two starts ago; 0-13 on turf but went close at Musselburgh last time.
4	1 4th (1) (6.5/1 +13%) Surprise Picture	6.5 6.5/1(+13%)	(1) Surprise Picture 6.5/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in June. 28/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 11 days ago. June 7f winner; returned to form with good recent 3rd at Pontefract (6f); one to consider.
5th	4 5th (4) (7.5/1 +32%) Carlton And Co	7.5 7.5/1(+32%)	(4) Carlton And Co 7.5/1, Winner at Newcastle in August. Shaped as if still in good form when seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 17 days ago. Not taken lightly. AW win two starts ago and widest draw excuses subsequent run; also effective on turf.
6th	11 6th (11) (7.5/1 +38%) Northbound	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(11) Northbound 7.5/1, Latest win at Southwell in April. Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap (15/2) at Newcastle (7f) 16 days ago. Runner-up over C&D in June and may improve for his recent outing at Newcastle.
7th	9 7th (9) (11/1 +56%) Atomise	11 11/1(+56%)	(9) Atomise 11/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Tailed-off last of 14 to Yorkstone in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 13/2) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Bounce back needed. Good third at Pontefract three starts ago but this season's form has been patchy.
8th	6 8th (6) (9/1 -50%) Powdering	9 9/1(-50%)	(6) Powdering 9/1, Winner at Hamilton in June. 18/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 17 days ago, running on late. Kept on for close third last time (7f AW) and should be suited by this stiff course.
9th	8 9th (8) (25/1 -25%) Reginald Charles	25 25/1(-25%)	(8) Reginald Charles 25/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at this course (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Visor back on. Has work to do. Good third at York three starts ago but not up to scratch on his other runs this season.

LTO Selection:

VIXEY managed to shed her maiden tag at the sixth time of asking on her latest outing at Redcar and she now steps back into the handicap ranks, where she has finished runner-up twice over C&D this year. The three-year-old filly has held her form well and she can make it a double today. Patontheback went close to a 7f double when a half-length second at Musselburgh latest and a further 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Powdering completes the shortlist after her Wolverhampton third.

PATONTHEBACK is in a good vein of form and might be up to notching a second win of the month. The likeable Vixey is second choice ahead of Carlton And Co.

Latest win here in May. 9/1, good third of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 16 days ago. Bold show is on the cards. Won a 0-60 over C&D in May and has run well in his last two starts; leading role likely.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -20%) Eltham Palace	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) Eltham Palace 12/1, Modest mare. C&D winner. One win from 24 Flat runs. 11/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 41 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs to bounce back but will be a threat if able to do so. Successful once and placed three times from six starts over C&D; can make presence felt.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 +20%) Crazy Spin	6 6/1(+20%)	(3) Crazy Spin 6/1, Modest mare. Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. 13/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to firm) 18 days ago.

5th	4 5th (4) (3/1 +45%) El Royale	3 3/1(+45%)	(4) El Royale 3/1, Modest gelding. Eighth of 9 in minor event at Ayr (10f, good, 9/2) 19 days ago. Remains a maiden following 13 attempts but possibilities judged on Ffos Las near miss on penultimate start. 0-13, but in the frame in two of his three visits here; just denied at Ffos Las last month.
6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 +0%) Six Strings	12 12/1(+0%)	(11) Six Strings 12/1, Modest gelding. 14/1, creditable fifth of 14 in minor event at Bath (8f, good) 36 days ago, very slowly away. Back up in trip and he's in with an each-way shout. All of his wins have come over shorter, but he stays this far; each-way claims.
7th	2 7th (2) (18/1 +55%) College Wizard	18 18/1(+55%)	(2) College Wizard 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 50/1) 21 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Some encouragement on handicap debut but didn't back it up next time; enough to prove.
8th	9 8th (9) (25/1 +11%) Joli's Legacy	25 25/1(+11%)	(9) Joli's Legacy 25/1, Poor mare. One win from 23 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 33/1) 10 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Back up in trip. 1-23 and shown little in a light campaign so far this year; look elsewhere.
9th	1 9th (1) (14/1 +13%) Blairlogie	14 14/1(+13%)	(1) Blairlogie 14/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. One win from 37 Flat runs. Last of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW, 25/1). Off 6 months and cheekpieces back on. Looks vulnerable. Sole win came in this race last year; not sure what to expect after six months off.
10th	13 10th (13) (14/1 +65%) Opportunity Knocks	14 14/1(+65%)	(13) Opportunity Knocks 14/1, Poor gelding. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft, 40/1) 21 days ago. Readily passed over. Best effort when second over C&D in February but twice well beaten since.
11th	6 11th (6) (100/1 -25%) Floats On Air	100 100/1(-25%)	(6) Floats On Air 100/1, Poor gelding. 66/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Visor back on, tongue strap back on. Easy to look elsewhere. Third at Wolverhampton in January but has shown little otherwise and now 0-14.
14	14 \|PU\| (14) (80/1 -21%) Ray The Hay	80 80/1(-21%)	(14) Ray The Hay 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, heavy, 200/1). Off 125 days. Significantly up in trip and cheekpieces on for 1st time. Poor in three starts; cheekpieces go on now.

LTO Selection:

GLOBAL STYLE has been a model of consistency of late, going down by less than a length on both starts since tasting success at Brighton, and the eight-year-old is expected to get back to winning ways. Oscar Doodle has been knocking on the door at Newcastle and should be competitive at this level. El Royale was reported to have lost a shoe at Ayr last time and he is capable of bouncing back.

OSCAR DOODLE looks ready to strike again. Global Style has been knocking on the door at Brighton in recent weeks and is likely to emerge as the main danger ahead of Crazy Spin and El Royale.

This can go to CRAZY SPIN who may be able to boss things from the front. She has the form to go close at this level in any case.

1	2 1st (2) (3.5/1 +30%) Dream Jet	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(2) Dream Jet 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving C. W. J. Farrell when twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) 40 days ago, gambled on but had little go right. Can make more impact this time. Flopped when favourite for stable/handicap debut but remains unexposed; can't be ignored.
2	6 2nd (6) (2.5/1 -11%) The Geordie Ginge	2.5 2.5/1(-11%)	(6) The Geordie Ginge 2.5/1, Fair hurdler who has been on his game when placed the last twice, third in a maiden at Newton Abbot despite losing 3 shoes 9 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Back from break with two good efforts this summer and ought to make presence felt here.
3	5 3rd (5) (14/1 +50%) Six And Out	14 14/1(+50%)	(5) Six And Out 14/1, Runner-up on all his three bumper runs. Let down by jumping on hurdling debut at Worcester 35 days ago but may come on for that. Second in three run-of-the-mill bumpers but well beaten when switched to hurdling.

5th	8 5th (8) (9/1 -13%) A Tickatickatiming	9 9/1(-13%)	(8) A Tickatickatiming 9/1, Off the mark at the fourth attempt in bumpers. Has disappointed on the Flat since but bred to make a hurdler, so no forlorn hope. Bumper winner in May but subsequent Flat form very underwhelming; hurdle debut today.
6th	4 6th (4) (2.5/1 +9%) Redbridge Rambler	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(4) Redbridge Rambler 2.5/1, Promise in bumpers and sound start to hurdles career when third of 11 at Uttoxeter in May. Race probably came too soon at Market Rasen next time and he remains with potential after a break. Flopped badly over 2m7f in May but his 2m hurdling debut was quite promising.
7th	7 7th (7) (66/1 -32%) Go On Ya Goodthing	66 66/1(-32%)	(7) Go On Ya Goodthing 66/1, Third in an Irish point and wasn't disgraced when fourth of 5 at Worcester on Rules debut. Disappointed at Newton Abbot next time and likely to be brought along slowly in this sphere. Not disgraced in a bumper on rules debut but well beaten since; hurdle debut today.
8th	9 8th (9) (150/1 -127%) Bollywollywotsit	150 150/1(-127%)	(9) Bollywollywotsit 150/1, Doesn't make much appeal on pedigree and lost her action when pulled up at Newton Abbot 92 days ago. Cheekpieces tried but hard to imagine she'll feature. Lacked fluency and was pulled up when 66-1 for debut at Newton Abbot in May.

LTO Selection:

REDBRIDGE RAMBLER has been given time to recover from his latest outing, when a disappointing fourth at Market Rasen in May. The drop back in trip appears to hold the key to him improving and the five-year-old can show his appreciation for it. Fandabidozi has been running creditably in handicaps of late and is capable of being in the mix again, while The Geordie Ginge completes the shortlist.

REDBRIDGE RAMBLER shaped well on hurdling debut in the spring and is best excused his next run, so he's well worth another chance. The Geordie Ginge and Fandabidozi should both give another good account.

17:10 Navan Handicap 14f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	16 1st (16) (3.33/1 +33%) Tory Reel	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(16) Tory Reel 3.33/1, Won 15-runner handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good, 16/1) 42 days ago. Back up in trip. Modest on the Flat, respectable on last Flat outing. Respected. Got off the mark over hurdles latest over 2m4f at Killarney; could make his presence felt.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +63%) Beautiful Chaos	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(1) Beautiful Chaos 4.5/1, Respectable seventh of 18 in handicap (18/1) at Galway (12f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Should give another good account but others look better treated. Not disgraced in a big field handicap at Galway last time; stable in decent form.
3	11 3rd (11) (3/1 +10%) Building Bridges	3 3/1(+10%)	(11) Building Bridges 3/1, Course winner. Won 20-runner handicap hurdle at Galway (22f, good to soft, 40/1) 29 days ago, joining leader line. Fair on the Flat, creditable on last Flat outing. Makes plenty of appeal. Two recent hurdle wins; should be well capable of winning a Flat handicap off this mark.
4	7 4th (7) (33/1 -32%) Annecherie	33 33/1(-32%)	(7) Annecherie 33/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Sixteenth of 21 in handicap (80/1) at the Curragh (14f, good) 18 days ago, very slowly away. Others make more appeal. Both wins have come on AW and turf form this season has been poor; makes little appeal.
5th	15 5th (15) (50/1 +0%) Jazzy Rock	50 50/1(+0%)	(15) Jazzy Rock 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (15f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Looks limited on early evidence. Down the field in handicaps at Bellewstown and Leopardstown; up against it here.
6th	5 6th (5) (50/1 -25%) Sand Castle	50 50/1(-25%)	(5) Sand Castle 50/1, Last of 21 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, good, 33/1). Off 104 days. Up against it. In good form over 1m4f at Dundalk last winter, winner off 47 and second off 55, off 59 now.
7th	10 7th (10) (80/1 -21%) Honketonk Angel	80 80/1(-21%)	(10) Honketonk Angel 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Tramore (16f, good to soft, 125/1) 51 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Plenty to prove. Well beaten at Tramore; cheekpieces tried here but others look much more likely.
8th	17 8th (17) (16/1 +0%) Contrapposto	16 16/1(+0%)	(17) Contrapposto 16/1, One win from 44 Flat runs. 10/3, ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, good) 14 days ago. Modest on the Flat, creditable on last Flat run. Respected. Sligo runner-up disappointed in a Tramore handicap hurdle since; needs to bounce back.
9th	9 9th (9) (9/1 +44%) Maura's Gift	9 9/1(+44%)	(9) Maura's Gift 9/1, Below form ninth of 17 in handicap at this course (10f, soft, 12/1) 47 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Should strip fitter for that run, so could get back on his game. Will come on for latest and the booking of the champion jockey significant; big player.
10th	3 10th (3) (100/1 -25%) Sea The Sunset	100 100/1(-25%)	(3) Sea The Sunset 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16f, good, 200/1) 14 days ago. Poor on last Flat run. Mostly campaigned over hurdles this year to no effect and last in a Tipperary handicap.
11th	8 11th (8) (50/1 +24%) Dreams Fled Away	50 50/1(+24%)	(8) Dreams Fled Away 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (50/1) at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Others preferred. Poor performer on all known evidence; easy to pass over.
12th	18 12th (18) (12/1 +70%) Molly Hall	12 12/1(+70%)	(18) Molly Hall 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 12/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others make more appeal. Decent effort at Gowran; could well be more to come off a 2lb lower mark.
13th	4 13th (4) (28/1 -12%) Beer With The Boys	28 28/1(-12%)	(4) Beer With The Boys 28/1, Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft, 11/1) 22 days ago. Visor back on. Disappointing at Sligo last time but a case can be made at his best.
14th	13 14th (13) (9/1 +44%) Bolero	9 9/1(+44%)	(13) Bolero 9/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. 12/1, bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Claims on his early season form but needs to step up on his two most recent efforts.
15th	6 15th (6) (7/1 -40%) Ellaat	7 7/1(-40%)	(6) Ellaat 7/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, good fourth of 15 in handicap (3/1) at Gowran (14f, soft), never nearer. Off 113 days. Stable going well and he's likely to be on the premises. First run since being hit with a 90-day ban at Gowran in May; watch the market.
16th	12 16th (12) (12/1 +52%) Chilean	12 12/1(+52%)	(12) Chilean 12/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2018. 33/1, hinted at a revival when seventh of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Not discounted from sliding mark. Best recent effort when staying on in a 1m6f Curragh handicap last time; each-way chance.

LTO Selection:

TORY REEL recently won over hurdles and reverts to Flat handicaps over a suitable distance. A half-brother to a Group 3 winner, he likes good ground and is nicely drawn. Vintage Gold was well held on his last Flat run - just two days before winning an ordinary recent Killarney hurdle. He, too, is a well-bred four-year-old who should continue to progress. Stablemate Barometer has been running well in similar handicaps, while stayer Building Bridges has done very well over hurdles recently but had previously been well held on the level.

BUILDING BRIDGES is well handicapped in this sphere and has looked better than ever over hurdles lately, so he's a confident choice. Barometer arrives on the back of a solid showing and should be on the premises, while Ellaat needs considering for a stable that has been amongst the winners this week.

Preference is for MAURA'S GIFT, who looks likely to come on plenty for her recent effort here last month with Colin Keane booked

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (4.5/1 +59%) Can't Stop Now	4.5 4.5/1(+59%)	(7) Can't Stop Now 4.5/1, 18/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 20 days ago. Back down in trip. Fifth in blanket finish over 1m4f last time; versatile trip-wise and could be involved.
2	4 2nd (4) (8/1 -23%) Ayr Poet	8 8/1(-23%)	(4) Ayr Poet 8/1, Latest win at Ayr in August. 2/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Ayr (1¼m, good) 19 days ago. Not discounted. Slightly below par in hat-trick bid but perhaps a busy spell had caught up with him.
3	1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 -13%) Highwaygrey	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(1) Highwaygrey 4.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 17/2, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (1¼m, good to firm) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. This represents a drop in grade. Fair sixth at Doncaster recently and down to lowest mark since 2020; not ruled out.
4	3 4th (3) (6.5/1 +19%) Where's Jeff	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(3) Where's Jeff 6.5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Hamilton in May. Good second of 10 in handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm, 7/2) 15 days ago. Can give another good account. Runner-up at Beverley the last twice and this course winner could be thereabouts once more.
5th	9 5th (9) (28/1 -40%) Lunacy	28 28/1(-40%)	(9) Lunacy 28/1, Winner at Hamilton in July. Last of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (1¼m, soft, 12/1) 35 days ago, folding tamely. Made all at Hamilton (1m3f) three starts ago but rest of this season's form not up scratch.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -200%) Check My Pulse	66 66/1(-200%)	(6) Check My Pulse 66/1, Seemingly no better than a modest hurdler/chaser these days so doesn't necessarily strike as an obvious type to make a successful return to the Flat. In first 4 over fences the last twice, but form pretty modest; first Flat run since 2020.
7th	8 7th (8) (5.5/1 +54%) Arkenstaar	5.5 5.5/1(+54%)	(8) Arkenstaar 5.5/1, Back-to-back winner at Hamilton in May but his form has levelled off since. Needs to get back on the up. Below par last time but was headstrong; two 1m1f wins earlier in the season.
8th	2 8th (2) (5/1 +38%) Arranmore	5 5/1(+38%)	(2) Arranmore 5/1, Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, good to soft, 9/2) 13 days ago. Flopped a fortnight ago but has run some big races this term; in the mix if bouncing back.
9th	5 9th (5) (5/1 -82%) Run Simba	5 5/1(-82%)	(5) Run Simba 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Visored first time, very good second of 8 in handicap at Ayr (1¼m, good to firm, 15/2) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Less exposed than most of these. Went close in first-time visor at Ayr and this lightly raced 3yo could have more to offer.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 -150%) Carouselle	50 50/1(-150%)	(10) Carouselle 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Well held on 1m Chelmsford handicap debut in January and absent since. Low mileage and from a good yard but would need to see market support to consider back from 7 months off. Well beaten on handicap debut in January but very lightly raced and has useful pedigree.

LTO Selection:

Highwaygrey wasn't disgraced in sixth at Doncaster last time and he will appreciate this drop in grade after he was kindly dropped 2lb from the handicapper for that effort. However, preference is for course winner WHERE'S JEFF, who has hit the crossbar the last twice over 1m2f at Beverley and he should have no issue with the slight step back in trip here. Ayr Poet has won two out of his last three and should also be considered.

RUN SIMBA reacted well to the visor when second at Ayr a couple of weeks ago and is worth a chance to build on that promise. This is a drop in grade for Highwaygrey and he's second choice ahead of Where's Jeff.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (8/1 -100%) Latino Fling	8 8/1(-100%)	(2) Latino Fling 8/1, Good strike rate over hurdles for this yard, winning over 2½m at Aintree and Worcester in May/June. Shade disappointing at Cartmel (2¾m, good to soft) last time but this former point winner will be a threat if her jumping passes the test now tackling fences. 7-22 over hurdles and a winning Irish pointer too; looks interesting on chase debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.38/1 +15%) Gold Link	1.38 1.38/1(+15%)	(1) Gold Link 1.38/1, Much improved when opening account in 19.4f novice handicap chase last month. Third to a progressive type off this 7 lb higher mark at Bangor (17.4f, good) since and further progress possible now that he moves back up in trip. 8l winner here (2m3f) last month, and subsequent Bangor third was also a good effort.
3	4 3rd (4) (18/1 -100%) Glengeever	18 18/1(-100%)	(4) Glengeever 18/1, Point winner/dual winner over hurdles who was runner-up on first 2 starts in handicap chases. However, needs to bounce back following a couple of dismal displays in recent weeks. New headgear. Collared after idling on run-in at Hexham in June; well beaten twice since; others safer.
4	3 4th (3) (1/1 +39%) Bagheera Ginge	1 1/1(+39%)	(3) Bagheera Ginge 1/1, Winner of 2 of his 5 starts over hurdles last year and has performed with credit all 3 completed starts in this sphere. Runner-up in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) at Newton Abbot (21f, good) last time and solid claims off the same mark. Clear second in first-time cheekpieces nine days ago; obvious chance on that evidence.

LTO Selection:

After departing early at Worcester three starts ago, GOLD LINK registered a comfortable victory here and then might have felt the effects of two quick turnarounds when third at Bangor. A return to this track may see Emma Lavelle's gelding prove too strong for the opposition. Bagheera Ginge has been running well enough of late and is expected to give another solid account, while chasing debutant Latino Fling has to be of interest too.

There could be more to come from low-mileage 7-y-o GOLD LINK, who looked a big threat to the progressive winner before making a hash of the second-last at Bangor. He wasn't knocked about following that blunder and is very appealing back up in trip off the same mark, returned to the scene of last month's comfortable breakthrough success. Bagheera Ginge has been knocking on the door and should get his head in front soon enough. He rates the main danger ahead of chase debutant Latino Fling.

Course winner GOLD LINK was not discredited when third at Bangor last time and should be fine over today's new trip.

1	9 1st (9) (10/1 -82%) Glenister	10 10/1(-82%)	(9) Glenister 10/1, 3 wins from 4 runs this year, latest at Brighton. Proved disappointing bidding for his fourth win in June when second of 3 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, firm, 1/4) 75 days ago, flattered by proximity. Can get back on track after a break. Off since June; peak turf form (penultimate start) makes this look an attractive mark.
2	10 2nd (10) (7.5/1 +12%) Chase The Dollar	7.5 7.5/1(+12%)	(10) Chase The Dollar 7.5/1, Ran much better than at Galway when third of 6 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm, 14/1) 18 days ago. Top claimer takes a handy 3 lb off and he's not without each-way hope. 413 days off before this term; signs of return to form behind Isle Of Sark on latest start.
3	8 3rd (8) (4.5/1 +47%) Imaginary World	4.5 4.5/1(+47%)	(8) Imaginary World 4.5/1, Improved a chunk when making a winning return/handicap debut at Chelmsford (1¼m) in March prior to a good second at Beverley (12.1f) in June. Didn't convince with his stamina upped to 14f at Haydock latest and back in trip now. Forgiven his failure in a hot race last time but needs to resume improvement.
4	3 4th (3) (20/1 +9%) Lucky's Dream	20 20/1(+9%)	(3) Lucky's Dream 20/1, Missed all of 2022 but all ability seemingly remains, not seen to best effect back off his much higher all-weather mark when 2¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Wynter Wildes at this C&D 33 days ago. Mark eases 3 lb and not without place claims. 7-17 on AW; absent for 627 days before this season; needs to raise his game somewhat.
5th	11 5th (11) (4.5/1 +63%) Muzaffar	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(11) Muzaffar 4.5/1, Winner at Southwell in February. Ran poorly back down in trip when eighth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good, 22/1) 3 weeks ago. Back up in trip and with the headgear left off, he's worth chancing from this much-reduced mark returned to the all-weather. Fall in the weights (after turf runs) makes him look well handicapped on this return to AW.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 -43%) Isle Of Sark	10 10/1(-43%)	(5) Isle Of Sark 10/1, Blinkered for 1st time, creditable second of 6 in handicap (6/1) at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm) 18 days ago, having run of race. Makes tapeta debut. Every chance if back to best. Front-running second of six at Leicester when first equipped with blinkers on latest start.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 +0%) Natchez Trace	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Natchez Trace 12/1, Latest win at Southwell in June. 11/1, failed to last home when last of 7 in handicap at Haydock (14f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Others more persuasive. His only AW run this year was a win (Southwell 1m4f) and he's had excuses recently.
8th	4 8th (4) (12/1 -33%) True Courage	12 12/1(-33%)	(4) True Courage 12/1, C&D winner. Ran even worse than on his return when tailed-off last of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Yarmouth (14.1f, good) 30 days ago. Back on all-weather but still tough to support. Tailed off on latest start; two wins last September included a C&D Racing League race.
9th	6 9th (6) (7/1 -27%) Wynter Wildes	7 7/1(-27%)	(6) Wynter Wildes 7/1, Supplemented June's Haydock success with a career-best victory in 7-runner handicap (14/1) over C&D last month. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) since and should continue to give a good account. 2-4 at Newcastle, the wins in this race last year and by a nose over C&D in July.
10th	1 10th (1) (7/1 -27%) Lizzie Jean	7 7/1(-27%)	(1) Lizzie Jean 7/1, Did well on AW last year, gaining second career victory at Southwell (11.1f) in July and has finished runner-up on last 2 starts on turf, latest at York (11.8f, good) last month. Fancied to be bang there. Dual 1m3f AW winner elsewhere last summer; 1m4f second on latest two outings.
11th	12 11th (12) (80/1 -400%) Red Royalist	80 80/1(-400%)	(12) Red Royalist 80/1, Latest win at Chester in July. 9/2, below form when seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 15 days ago. Is now just 1 lb above his last winning mark so can't be discounted. Chester win in July came off just 1lb lower but backward steps on last two outings.
12th	13 12th (13) (9/1 -20%) Tafsir	9 9/1(-20%)	(13) Tafsir 9/1, 3 wins from last 4 starts, latest in 13-runner handicap (10/3) at Musselburgh (14f, good) 20 days ago, quickening to lead final 100 yds and soon clear. Upped significantly in grade but impossible to dismiss in her current mood. 1m4f, 1m5f and 1m6f wins on last three turf starts; 0-5 here but 2nd on penultimate outing.
13th	2 13th (2) (66/1 -136%) Nuits St Georges	66 66/1(-136%)	(2) Nuits St Georges 66/1, 40/1, shaped as if needing the run on first outing since leaving Henry De Bromhead and rejoining former yard after 10 months off when last of 7 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 8 weeks ago. This should reveal plenty. Useful in 2021 but has plenty to prove judged on what he's done since.

LTO Selection:

An open event could go the way of WYNTER WILDES, who landed this prize 12 months ago from 2lb lower. Charlie Fellowes' filly has yet to run a poor race at this venue and should be aided by a likely strong pace. Tafsir has been very progressive this season and must not be underestimated from the foot of the handicap. Glenister, who was turned over in a tactical affair when on a four-timer at Bath, is another to consider.

An ultra-competitive opener to week 4 of the Racing League and at forecast longer odds, MUZAFFAR gets the verdict to double his tally back up in trip having been given a chance by the handicapper. The main threat may emerge from Lizzie Jean, who has hit the crossbar on her last couple of starts and may have to settle for silver once again. The in-form Tafsir and recent C&D winner Wynter Wildes can do battle for third spot.

There is more to prove at this level but TAFSIR is on a roll and keeps looking capable of better, including over C&D two starts back.

1	4 1st (4) (7.5/1 -50%) Chess Player	7.5 7.5/1(-50%)	(4) Chess Player 7.5/1, Showed improved form when scoring on chase debut at Worcester last summer and added to his tally after 8 months off at Huntingdon (16.5f) in May. Found only an improving type too strong at Market Rasen (17.2f) last time and he can give another good account. Backed up 2m win in May with two very respectable efforts; back up in trip today.
2	3 2nd (3) (5.5/1 -65%) Blaze A Trail	5.5 5.5/1(-65%)	(3) Blaze A Trail 5.5/1, Thrived with a hood applied last year, winning 3 times at this course as he went on to land a 5-timer. Bounced back from a lesser effort this season when runner-up here (17f) in July and he's not taken lightly at this venue. Won five chases (two over C&D) in 2022 and ran well in defeat here last month; a player.
3	2 3rd (2) (0.8/1 +42%) Arcade Attraction	0.8 0.8/1(+42%)	(2) Arcade Attraction 0.8/1, Has returned to his best since joining Sophie Leech, making it 2 wins from 2 starts (both at this C&D) for his current yard with an emphatic success last month. Rise in the weights might not be enough to prevent him from scoring again. 2-2 over C&D for new stable this summer and commands respect in current mood.
4	6 4th (6) (7.5/1 +38%) Ben Buie	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(6) Ben Buie 7.5/1, Enjoyed a productive spell towards the end of his 2022/23 campaign, making it 3 wins from 4 starts when successful at Fakenham (16.3f) in February. However, pulled up on his last 2 outings, the latest after 6 months off at Market Rasen 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Triple chase winner last season but has a point to prove after two poor performances.
5th	5 5th (5) (5.5/1 +27%) Admiral's Sunset	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(5) Admiral's Sunset 5.5/1, Having had a second breathing operation, made a winning return at this C&D in May and went close to following up here (17f) on her next start. However, bounce back now called for having found it tougher over that trip last month. Didn't fire last time but runs this track well and is on a workable mark.

LTO Selection:

ARCADE ATTRACTION has seemingly been rejuvenated by the switch to the Sophie Leech stable, with a brace of C&D successes resulting in him going up 17lb in the handicap, and it may be difficult for the nine-year-old's rivals to stop him from landing the hat-trick. Blaze A Trail took a step back in the right direction when runner-up here last month and is capable of being in the mix again. Chess Player and Admiral's Sunset appear best of the remainder.

ARCADE ATTRACTION has been rejuvenated having joined Sophie Leech, winning again for his current yard in good style here last month, and he can go on to complete the C&D hat-trick. Blaze A Trail has also won twice at this C&D and is respected, with Chess Player the pick of the remainder.

Preference is for BLAZE A TRAIL, who runs this track very well and moves back up in trip after a good second over 2m1f here last month.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (14/1 -17%) Buttercross Flyer	14 14/1(-17%)	(8) Buttercross Flyer 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, sixth of 7 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good) 12 days ago, leading until around 2f out. Makes all-weather debut and likely to find a few too strong. Two 2nds at Catterick this summer; no progress in Class 3 nursery latest; needs better.
2	7 2nd (7) (4.5/1 -13%) Dan Dee Prince	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(7) Dan Dee Prince 4.5/1, Showed much improved form to get off the mark at the sixth time of asking in 10-runner nursery (25/1) at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago, well positioned. Makes all-weather debut and provided he takes to the surface, he's fancied to be bang there under a penalty. Stayed on well to win at Leicester last week; unexposed at 7f; solid contender.
3	2 3rd (2) (7/1 -40%) Ebt's Guard	7 7/1(-40%)	(2) Ebt's Guard 7/1, 9/1, showed improved form after 8 weeks off when second of 11 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. Every chance if building on that now handicapping. Appeared to show improvement when 2nd at Kempton 3 weeks ago; that form not yet franked.
4	4 4th (4) (2/1 +56%) I'm Puzzled	2 2/1(+56%)	(4) I'm Puzzled 2/1, Ran to just a similar level as previously when fourth of 8 in minor event at Epsom (7f, good to soft, 9/2) 4 weeks ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes handicap debut and should have more to offer. Looks a likely improver now handicapping at a realistic level; one to take seriously.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 -60%) Tactical Control	8 8/1(-60%)	(5) Tactical Control 8/1, 80/1, showed more than previously upped in trip when fourth of 8 in minor event at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut and he could well have more to offer. Improved for the step up to 7f last time; more to come from him now handicapping.
6th	6 6th (6) (4/1 -14%) Classy Clarets	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Classy Clarets 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 8 in nursery at this C&D (4/1) 16 days ago, picked off only late on by one from the rear. Remains of plenty of interest. Improved when second over C&D 16 days ago; needs to find more but that's quite possible.
7th	3 7th (3) (33/1 -65%) Sarakana	33 33/1(-65%)	(3) Sarakana 33/1, Made a winning debut at Haydock in May but has finished well held in the face of stiff tasks on both subsequent starts, latest on handicap debut at Goodwood (7f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Others more persuasive. Won debut before struggling twice since (Group 3 and then bad ground); risky.
8th	1 8th (1) (12/1 -71%) Beechwood Star	12 12/1(-71%)	(1) Beechwood Star 12/1, Failed to meet expectations tackling all-weather for the first time when close third of 9 in minor event (5/6) at this course (6f) 4 weeks ago, headed near line. Cheekpieces applied for his handicap debut. Placed in three 6f novices, including here; needs more for 7f and/or cheekpieces.

LTO Selection:

Beechwood Star would be a deserved winner having been narrowly denied on his last two starts. Upped in trip and with cheekpieces applied ahead of this handicap bow, he is unlikely to be far away, but marginal preference is for I'M PUZZLED. The son of Sea The Moon showed a fair level of ability without troubling the judge across his qualifying runs and an opening mark of 75 looks workable. Ebt's Guard is another to consider.

DAN DEE PRINCE showed much improved form to get off the mark at the sixth time of asking at Leicester last week and provided he takes to a synthetic surface, Tom Dascombe's gelding can follow up under a penalty. Classy Clarets was picked off only late on by one from the rear over C&D recently, so he's fancied to give the selection most to think about, ahead of I'm Puzzled, who remains with potential now sent down the nursery route.

The switch to nurseries can see I'M PUZZLED step forward from his previous efforts and gain a breakthrough success.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (2/1 +33%) Bucko's Boy	2 2/1(+33%)	(4) Bucko's Boy 2/1, Looked as good as ever following a wind op when getting back to winning ways in convincing fashion at Bangor (19.6f, good, 11/2) 27 days ago. 7 lb rise looks manageable and he should be in the mix again. Took form to new level with 2m3f win four weeks ago; tries a new trip today; considered.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 -9%) Thirtyfourstitches	3 3/1(-9%)	(1) Thirtyfourstitches 3/1, Won twice at Plumpton last season before scoring on his seasonal return at Newton Abbot (21.6f, good to soft) last month. Ran at least as well when runner-up there a fortnight later and can be hard to pass when in the mood, though has often struggled for consistency. Not easy to predict but has won three times since December and last month's run was a PB.
3	2 3rd (2) (7.5/1 +6%) Glinger Flame	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(2) Glinger Flame 7.5/1, Looked as good as ever when winning at Hexham (20.1f) in May and backed up that effort when runner-up at the same course in June, albeit in laboured fashion. Never better than mid-field at Cartmel last time, though, so needs to bounce back. Safely held on heavy ground last month but in good form on sound surfaces beforehand.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 -20%) Isthebaropen	4 4/1(-20%)	(3) Isthebaropen 4/1, Won this race last year and shaped encouragingly on return from 9-month absence when 5¼ lengths third of 6 to Hunting Percival in handicap hurdle at this course (26.4f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Shortlist material. Five-time hurdle winner; ran well for a long way here this month, after a layoff.
5th	6 5th (6) (6/1 -20%) Hunting Percival	6 6/1(-20%)	(6) Hunting Percival 6/1, Seemed to relish the step back up to this trip when winning over C&D in July before doubling his tally for the season when scoring in 6-runner event at this course (26.4f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Not certain to be in same mood this time but merits respect all the same. Throws in some moody runs but is a dual course winner this summer (2m6f/3m2f).
6th	5 6th (5) (12/1 +33%) Throne Hall	12 12/1(+33%)	(5) Throne Hall 12/1, Useful sort at his best on Flat but hasn't quite yet hit those heights over hurdles, not yet looking a natural jumper, and recent efforts in both codes have been underwhelming, so others are preferred. Began hurdling career with two wins last year but seems to have lost his way since.

LTO Selection:

HUNTING PERCIVAL accounted for last year's winner of this race Isthebaropen (third) by more than five lengths over further here last time and he can confirm his superiority to go in again. Bucko's Boy is a real threat after his success at Bangor and he could find improvement for the step up in trip. Glinger Flame is capable at this level and could also get in the mix.

Last year's winner ISTHEBAROPEN shaped encouragingly without being unduly punished on her return here earlier this month and should be primed now in her bid to win back-to-back runnings. Bucko's Boy ran as well as he ever has when scoring at Bangor earlier in the month and also merits plenty of respect, whilst Hunting Percival finished ahead of the selection last time and is also tricky to rule out.

1	4 1st (4) (7.5/1 +6%) Billy Mill	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(4) Billy Mill 7.5/1, Exploits have proved mixed on AW/turf in recent months but eased in weights and firmly back on track when just touched off at Kempton (1m) 15 days ago. Last success came under today's rider and not out of things if arriving in same groove. C&D winner in Racing League last year off 4lb higher; good 2nd latest; leading contender.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 +20%) Mobashr	8 8/1(+20%)	(1) Mobashr 8/1, Back on track equipped with a refitted hood, back to winning ways at Doncaster (7f) in July and made frame on 3 of his 4 starts since. Unsuited by the way the race developed when tenth at Windsor (8.1f) 2 weeks ago and better expected here. Not at his best in 1m Racing League h'cap two weeks ago; return to AW fine; not ruled out.
3	10 3rd (10) (25/1 -194%) Le Reveur	25 25/1(-194%)	(10) Le Reveur 25/1, Quirky but very capable performer on his day and proved far too good for his rivals when winning 12-runner Newmarket handicap (1m) earlier this month, hanging badly left but ultimately scoring with ease. 8 lb higher mark demands more in this deeper affair, though. Easy win at Newmarket (1m) 13 days ago but 8lb higher mark might find him out.
4	7 4th (7) (4.5/1 +10%) Yaaser	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(7) Yaaser 4.5/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in July. 10/3, good second of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago, going well when not clear run from 3f out and finishing with running left. Shortlist material. Comes here in form and he shaped well in one run here last year; leading contender.
5th	5 5th (5) (3.5/1 +56%) Dionysian	3.5 3.5/1(+56%)	(5) Dionysian 3.5/1, Won a pair of 1m novice events at 2 yrs and firmly back on track returned to AW (also gelded) when fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 2 weeks ago, carrying head a little high but keeping on. May tighten up for that run and he remains pretty low mileage. Shaped nicely back on AW last time and a 1lb drop seems kind; still has potential.
6th	2 6th (2) (25/1 -108%) Mahanakhon	25 25/1(-108%)	(2) Mahanakhon 25/1, Opened account in novice company at Wetherby (7f) in April and similar form when close-up third in handicap at Pontefract (1m) on penultimate start in July. Not clear run under 2f out and unable to figure when seventh of 9 in handicap at Leicester since and he's unexposed on AW. 7f novice winner in April; fair runs in 1m h'caps since; encouragement for AW on breeding.
7th	6 7th (6) (5.5/1 +15%) Half Nutz	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(6) Half Nutz 5.5/1, Winless for present yard but gone close to bucking that trend of late, again finding only one too good when just failing to get up at Leopardstown (7f) 7 days ago. Worth a second look with Billy Loughnane taking off a handy 3 lb. Banging at the door in Ireland and he's of some interest at this level.
8th	3 8th (3) (7/1 +13%) Chola Empire	7 7/1(+13%)	(3) Chola Empire 7/1, Doubled career tally at Southwell (7f) back in January and consistency hard to knock since, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 7 days ago. Remains 3 lb above last winning mark, however. Conditions should suit and he ran well at Chelmsford last week; each-way contender.
9th	9 9th (9) (40/1 -150%) Vindobala	40 40/1(-150%)	(9) Vindobala 40/1, 3-time C&D winner but not for the first time she blotted her copybook by refusing to race at Musselburgh (7f) 37 days ago. Clearly comes with risks attached. Conditions ideal but she refused to race in 2 of last 7 appearances; reservations.
10th	8 10th (8) (18/1 -157%) Craven	18 18/1(-157%)	(8) Craven 18/1, Off the mark in refitted visor at Leicester (7f) in July and filled runners-up spot on 2 of his 3 starts since, encouragingly travelling with more fluency when just touched off at Thirsk (7f) a couple of weeks back. Not out of things if proving as effective on AW. Improving 3yo who bumped into one at Thirsk last time; solid claims switched to AW.
11th	12 11th (12) (11/1 -22%) Akmaam	11 11/1(-22%)	(12) Akmaam 11/1, Opened account for this yard at Dundalk (1m) and remained in good heart since, creditable fourth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (1m) 11 days ago. Not out of things for all this drop back to 7f may not suit ideally. 1m AW win in March; good 4th at Curragh latest; usually apprentice ridden but not today.
12th	13 12th (13) (12/1 -20%) Ray Vonn	12 12/1(-20%)	(13) Ray Vonn 12/1, After 4 months off (had wind op), produced his best effort when third of 12 on handicap debut at Newmarket (6f, good, 33/1) 13 days ago. More on his plate back up in trip having been raised 2 lb since, though. Ran well dropped to 6f last time (after a wind op); 7f efforts need bettering though.
13th	11 13th (11) (50/1 -100%) Unsung Hero	50 50/1(-100%)	(11) Unsung Hero 50/1, Back-to-back winner over this trip at Kempton last summer but well held final 2 starts of 2022 and he again ran well below his best when last of 11 back from 6 months off at Newbury (7f) back in June. Eased 3 lb since and this should reveal more. Two front-running wins at Kempton last September; struggled since; gelded since latest.

LTO Selection:

BILLY MILL bounced back to form with a fast-finishing second at Kempton, and a similar effort might be enough to see Rod Millman's charge gain compensation for that agonising defeat. Yaaser is consistent and should not be far away, while similar comments apply to Craven, who is of definite interest on this all-weather debut. Others to note include Le Reveur and Dionysian.

A winner at Musselburgh in July, YAASER has shaped as if still in top form subsequently, having little go right when runner-up over this trip at Doncaster 12 days ago (nicely on top of remainder). He can make amends back on AW, with Half Nutz and Mobashr heading up the dangers. Dionysian is one of the 3-y-os to note.

A strong handicap in which CRAVEN is marginally preferred to Half Nutzp, Dionysian and Akmaam.

2	4 2nd (4) (7/1 -87%) Tikkinthebox	7 7/1(-87%)	(4) Tikkinthebox 7/1, Winless since April 2021 but he got back on track when second of 5 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (16.3f, good to soft) 45 days ago. In the mix. On the downgrade now but last month's second proved some ability remains.
3	1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 +59%) Mix Of Clover	4.5 4.5/1(+59%)	(1) Mix Of Clover 4.5/1, Dual hurdles/chase winner in 2021 but who has largely disappointed since. Cheekpieces on for 1st time with something to prove now. Below form over hurdles lately; back over fences with cheekpieces tried here.
4	2 4th (2) (3.5/1 -27%) Bempton Cliffs	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(2) Bempton Cliffs 3.5/1, Boasts an excellent strike rate over fences and posted a good third of six at Aintree (2m) after 7 months off in June. Much respected after another break here. Free-going front-runner with 3-7 record over fences; could be hard to catch.
5th	6 5th (6) (3.5/1 +30%) Atlantic Storm	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(6) Atlantic Storm 3.5/1, 3-time C&D winner who comes here on the back of a very good second of 6 in handicap here (19.4f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Expected to be bang there off an unchanged mark. Course regular; not the force of old but probably won't be far away.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (3/1 +0%) Jet Of Dreams	3 3/1(+0%)	(5) Jet Of Dreams 3/1, Point winner who returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when second of 12 in handicap chase at Worcester (16.5f, good) 30 days ago, left with lot to do. Considered with headgear retained. Clear second in first-time cheekpieces last month; Harry Cobden booked again here.

LTO Selection:

BEMPTON CLIFFS made a very pleasing return to action at Aintree, beaten less than three lengths into third in a class 3 event. The eight-year-old takes a drop in grade and that could help him record his fourth career success. Tikkinthebox was a long way clear of the third when second at Newton Abbot and should go well off the same rating. Jet Of Dreams responded well to cheekpieces to fill the runner-up berth at Worcester and can get involved off 4lb higher.

ATLANTIC STORM holds an excellent course record and another bold showing looks on the cards after his very good recent second here. Bempton Cliffs has started well in this sphere so should ensure the veteran doesn't have things all his own way though, with Worcester runner-up Jet of Dreams also in the mix.

1	13 1st (13) (8/1 -33%) Nordic Passage	8 8/1(-33%)	(13) Nordic Passage 8/1, Twenty-six runs since last win in 2020. Good second of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 5/1) 11 days ago. Will be a big threat off the same mark if taking to this surface (has won twice on polytrack but untried on tapeta). Beaten a nose in his last two starts (6f); effective on AW; ahead of his mark; good chance.
2	11 2nd (11) (9/1 -38%) Razzam	9 9/1(-38%)	(11) Razzam 9/1, 13/8, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) on debut for new yard 22 days ago. This is a tougher assignment. Form of winning stable debut is nothing special; more on his plate up 4lb in a better race.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/1 +18%) Expert Agent	7 7/1(+18%)	(1) Expert Agent 7/1, Three wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Lingfield in April. Good third of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 14 days ago, slowly away. Place possibilities off the same mark. Three-time AW winner; good 3rd on turf latest; should be involved once again.
4	9 4th (9) (12/1 +45%) Streak Lightning	12 12/1(+45%)	(9) Streak Lightning 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 20/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 33 days ago, never nearer. Back down in trip and likely to find a few too good. On last winning mark, conditions will suit and he looks a lively outsider.
5th	5 5th (5) (40/1 -233%) Tyger Bay	40 40/1(-233%)	(5) Tyger Bay 40/1, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good, 13/2) 57 days ago. Others make more appeal for win purposes. Return to AW is in his favour but a few others have more compelling claims.
6th	3 6th (3) (3.5/1 +46%) Hydration	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(3) Hydration 3.5/1, Two wins from 4 runs this year. 6/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 26 days ago by ¾ length from Minnesota Lad. Makes tapeta debut. Won 2 of his last 3 and looked willing at Doncaster last time; capable of another bold bid.
7th	10 7th (10) (8/1 +33%) Snash	8 8/1(+33%)	(10) Snash 8/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, respectable fifth of 17 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others preferred. Signs of a revival at Ripon last time and he's 2-2 on AW; interesting off his lowly mark.
8th	2 8th (2) (5/1 +38%) Conquistador	5 5/1(+38%)	(2) Conquistador 5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. 5/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and couldn't rule out. Return to AW should be beneficial and a tongue-tie could help too; not discounted.

10th	12 10th (12) (12/1 -33%) Minnesota Lad	12 12/1(-33%)	(12) Minnesota Lad 12/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap at Haydock (6f, heavy, 6/4) 25 days ago, very slowly away. Safely held sole previous AW start and others make more appeal. Chased home Hydration before lesser effort one day later; below best in one AW run (C&D).

Latest win at Yarmouth in June. 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago, conceding first run. Big player. Course winner at two; comes here on the up and could have more to give in cheekpieces.
12th	8 12th (8) (14/1 -17%) Ataser	14 14/1(-17%)	(8) Ataser 14/1, 7/1, respectable third of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago. A career-best will be needed if he's to make a winning AW debut in this competitive contest. Running creditably of late but he'll need a strong pace to win back at 6f.
13th	6 13th (6) (33/1 -230%) Pockley	33 33/1(-230%)	(6) Pockley 33/1, Five-time course winner, the latest in March. Sixth of 8 in handicap (7/1) back here (7.1f) when last seen in April, unable to sustain effort. Drop back in trip should help but looks vulnerable all the same. Five-time course winner; on a good mark but he has a five-month absence to overcome.

LTO Selection:

NORDIC PASSAGE has been very unlucky to be beaten just a nose on each of his last two outings, with the latest display coming in a competitive sprint at the Curragh. Johnny Levins' eight-year-old can gain compensation on this occasion. Hydration is two out of three since switching to handicaps and he did it nicely at Doncaster last time, so is a live threat off 4lb higher. Ataser takes a step back in trip and is also worth a second look.

Several to consider in this competitive handicap, headed by CHAMPAGNE SARAH. She has proved consistent this season and was unlucky not to notch a third success of the campaign when going close at Newmarket where she was denied a clear run at a crucial stage. Irish raider Nordic Passage's turn is surely near and is a much-respected main danger ahead of the unexposed Hydration. Each-way cases can be made for Expert Agent and Treacherous.

Yorkshire hold a strong hand, with SNASH taken to maintain an unbeaten AW record at the main expense of Streak Lightning.

Closely related to a winner and half-brother to 7 winners on Flat, including smart 5f-7f winner Final Song. Wears tongue strap. Stable has had a very good summer and a market move for this one would look significant with Harry Cobden up. Very good Flat pedigree; first bumper runner for up-and-coming trainer; appeals on paper.
9th	4 9th (4) (50/1 +38%) Helpful	50 50/1(+38%)	(4) Helpful 50/1, Last of 10 on his Warwick debut in May for Paul Webber. New stable equips him with a tongue-tie. Raced too freely and was well-beaten 50-1 shot on debut at Warwick in May.
10	10 \|U\| (10) (28/1 +15%) Jukebox Annie	28 28/1(+15%)	(10) Jukebox Annie 28/1, €2,500 Jukebox Jury filly. Dam 9.5f-11f winner on Flat in France. The stable did have a bumper winner a couple of years ago so she's worth a precautionary betting check. First foal from a French middle-distance Flat winner; other newcomers are more enticing.

LTO Selection:

With not much form to go on, a tentative vote is given to BETTY'S TIARA, who goes for a yard that can ready one first time out. Her half-sister went in at the first time of asking for this stable, and any market confidence behind her would make her case even stronger. Hutcheson has Harry Cobden on board for his first start and he is related to plenty of winners on the Flat, while any money for Baskerville would also be of interest.

In a race where the betting is sure to provide more clues the tentative suggestion is HUTCHESON with the James Owen stable continuing in good form. Baskerville, Betty's Tiara and Atacama Sky are other newcomers with something to recommend them on paper, while the fact that Cairo King was sent off favourite for his Fontwell debut in February suggests he's thought capable of a lot better than he showed on that occasion.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4.5/1 +36%) Storm Catcher	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(2) Storm Catcher 4.5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Good third of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Ascot (8f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Ought to be in the shake-up again. Has done well over 1m2f on AW this season, notably at Chelmsford (Polytrack).
2	1 2nd (1) (7.5/1 +38%) Onesmoothoperator	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(1) Onesmoothoperator 7.5/1, C&D winner. 9/1, fair seventh of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Down in trip. Can give a good account. On a losing run; all his races from August 2021 onwards have been over 1m4f-2m1f.
3	11 3rd (11) (10/1 -67%) Moonspirit	10 10/1(-67%)	(11) Moonspirit 10/1, Thrice-raced winner. Winner at Bath in July before encouraging fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 9/2) 16 days ago. Should have more to offer. Not ruled out. AW/handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m2f) when dropping back to last before running on well.
4	4 4th (4) (5.5/1 +31%) Painters Palette	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(4) Painters Palette 5.5/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year, posting a career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 6/1) 19 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so he can go well again despite a 5 lb rise. Two Wolverhampton AW wins in March/April (8.6f/9.4f); better over 1m on turf since.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 -40%) Carolus Magnus	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) Carolus Magnus 14/1, Fairly useful winner for Andrew Balding. Only twice raced for current yard and he caught the eye when ninth of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 16 days ago, keeping on when suffering a poor run inside last 1f. Makes tapeta debut. Weighted to go close. Shaped well when trying to come from last at Chelmsford (1m2f, second AW run) 16 days ago.
6th	5 6th (5) (4.5/1 +55%) Roaring Gallagher	4.5 4.5/1(+55%)	(5) Roaring Gallagher 4.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 22/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with more needed at these weights. Improved form in sixth of 14 on handicap debut at the Curragh (1m2f) and met interference.
7th	12 7th (12) (12/1 -20%) Bint Al Daar	12 12/1(-20%)	(12) Bint Al Daar 12/1, Winner at Newmarket in August. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Sandown (10f, good) 11 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Shortlisted. Got up late on at Newmarket (1m) and rallied strongly when third of nine at Sandown (1m2f).
8th	13 8th (13) (66/1 -313%) Blue Yonder	66 66/1(-313%)	(13) Blue Yonder 66/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Last of 8 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 8/1) 54 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Gelded after poor latest start; needs to resume improvement but is 2lb out of the handicap.
9th	10 9th (10) (28/1 -229%) New Dayrell	28 28/1(-229%)	(10) New Dayrell 28/1, 7/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 21 days ago, having benefit of enterprising ride. Much respected on his tapeta debut. Won comfortably in amateurs' race at Sandown (1m2f) when allowed plenty of rope up front.
10th	8 10th (8) (5.5/1 +8%) Miami Thunder	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(8) Miami Thunder 5.5/1, Course winner in June. 11/5, good second of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 33 days ago, just failing. Up in trip. Well in the mix once more. Made all in June and short-headed in July on his two runs for yard, both over 1m here.
11th	9 11th (9) (16/1 -100%) Bashful	16 16/1(-100%)	(9) Bashful 16/1, 3 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in July. 11/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, soft) 29 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. This C&D winner needs considering. Second leg of his hat-trick came over C&D; close 3rd over 1m at Leicester on latest start.
12th	6 12th (6) (14/1 -17%) Wind Your Neck In	14 14/1(-17%)	(6) Wind Your Neck In 14/1, 6/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, heavy) 25 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Looks competitive on form. Generally below form in the last two seasons but runner-up twice this term; makes AW debut.
13th	7 13th (7) (33/1 -230%) Cap Francais	33 33/1(-230%)	(7) Cap Francais 33/1, 22/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 20 days ago, no match for winner. Claims. 2nd at Newmarket (1m2f) on latest start, first time he's been competitive since last May.

LTO Selection:

NEW DAYRELL struck in taking fashion when making all at Sandown and he appeared to have plenty left in the tank so could be well up to defying his 6lb higher rating. The main danger might be Storm Catcher, who made the frame in a class 2 event at Ascot last month and should go well off the same mark now back up in trip. Miami Thunder was just a short head away from completing a 1m brace here after arriving from Ireland and is another to consider.

Lots with chances so at the likely odds it is worth siding with CAROLUS MAGNUS to build on his eye-catching Chelmsford effort and capitalise on a good mark for his new handler. Painters Palette is feared most on the back of his emphatic Redcar success, with the unexposed Moonspirit and course winner Miami Thunder also firmly in the picture.

In a competitive race, STORM CATCHER receives the vote ahead of Moonspirit, Roaring Gallagher and Bint Al Daar.

20:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 8f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (5/1 +44%) Helm Rock	5 5/1(+44%)	(3) Helm Rock 5/1, 7/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Well handicapped but a bounce back is needed. Back to his last winning mark and the form of his yard catches the eye; could revive.
2	7 2nd (7) (3/1 +60%) Tosen Wish	3 3/1(+60%)	(7) Tosen Wish 3/1, Started his career promisingly but has struggled more recently. 10/1, fifteenth of 18 in handicap at Galway (8.6f, soft) 30 days ago, merely closing up late. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on first time. Bounce back needed. Handicapper on top for this yard; cheekpieces and return to AW could revive his fortunes.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/1 -122%) Parlando	10 10/1(-122%)	(4) Parlando 10/1, Very lightly-raced winner. 12/1, first run since leaving Charlie Appleby when promising third of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Open to improvement and on the shortlist here. Good stable debut after big absence but he did hang badly right from 1f out; unexposed.
4	5 4th (5) (18/1 -29%) Mostawaa	18 18/1(-29%)	(5) Mostawaa 18/1, C&D winner. Completed a turf hat-trick in May/June but found life tougher when only seventh of 12 in Race 21 of this series at Windsor a fortnight ago. Came up shy over 1m2f last time but he'd been thriving beforehand; easy lead unlikely.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/1 -113%) Arthur's Realm	16 16/1(-113%)	(2) Arthur's Realm 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 47 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up. Back to form in cheekpieces the last twice; has the ability to feature once again.
6th	11 6th (11) (7/1 -40%) Hartswood	7 7/1(-40%)	(11) Hartswood 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Thirsk in May. 6/1, respectable third of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (1m, good) 21 days ago. Can make presence felt. Enjoying a good season and this C&D winner should give it another good go.
7th	1 7th (1) (5/1 +55%) Master Richard	5 5/1(+55%)	(1) Master Richard 5/1, Generally likeable and progressive (scored over 7f here in May) and he was simply too keen in first-time cheekpieces, which are quickly discarded, at York last week. Not the type to stay down for long. Well suited by AW but he needs to bounce back from last week's low-key York run.
8th	10 8th (10) (18/1 -100%) Wyvern	18 18/1(-100%)	(10) Wyvern 18/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap (9/4) at Chelmsford (7f) 7 days ago but did go close at the same venue prior to that. Can blow hot and cold but the return of the accessories should be in his favour.
9th	8 9th (8) (50/1 -257%) Alexander James	50 50/1(-257%)	(8) Alexander James 50/1, Capitalised on drop in grade when landing a Beverley seller (7.5f) on final start for Mick Appleby in July. Fair start for this yard when close sixth at Yarmouth (1m) last month and being caught wide provides an excuse for his below-par run since. Won a seller in July but beaten in lesser handicaps in two runs for current stable.
10th	6 10th (6) (10/1 +9%) Elzaam Blue	10 10/1(+9%)	(6) Elzaam Blue 10/1, Won at Dundalk in February and followed up on 1m Doncaster stable debut 5 months later. Well beaten on the first night of this series at Yarmouth since, though. Flopped at Yarmouth last month but ready winner beforehand and return to AW should suit.
11th	12 11th (12) (10/1 +44%) Star Zinc	10 10/1(+44%)	(12) Star Zinc 10/1, Winner on AW at Southwell in June. Cheekpieces on first time, sixth of 7 in handicap (22/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 44 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero. One Tapeta run this year resulted in an easy win; still carries risk on stable debut.
12th	13 12th (13) (33/1 -230%) Shine On Brendan	33 33/1(-230%)	(13) Shine On Brendan 33/1, Latest win at Hamilton in August. 7/1, creditable third of 8 back there (9f, good to soft) 17 days ago. In good form on turf and although he's 0-14 on AW, he's fully effective on Tapeta.
13th	9 13th (9) (25/1 -178%) Loingseoir	25 25/1(-178%)	(9) Loingseoir 25/1, Good second of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft, 7/1) 9 days ago, clear of rest. Major player. Runner-up the last twice and should make another bold bid in his current form.

LTO Selection:

The unexposed PARLANDO will have given connections plenty of encouragement when third on his seasonal/stable debut at Newmarket earlier in the month and he could be hard to stop with the benefit of that outing behind him. Loingseoir has been knocking hard on the door of late and is likely to go well once again, while Shine On Brendan and Arthur's Realm are others who make the shortlist.

LOINGSEOIR chased home an improving 3-y-o in race 14 of this series at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. He followed that with a fine second at Roscommon last Tuesday and can deservedly get his head back in front now. Richard Fahey and Oisin Orr have tasted plenty of Racing League success together in August and Hartswood should go well for that in-form pairing. The low-mileage Parlando and Ed Dunlop's Arthur's Realm also make the shortlist.

A trappy race in which HARTSWOOD should get a good pace to aim at and may come out on top. Helm Rock heads the long list of dangers.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (4.5/1 +0%) Alligator Alley	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(9) Alligator Alley 4.5/1, Good second of 20 in handicap (9/1) at York (5.4f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Three Tapeta wins over the winter; fine 2nd at York last week & now races off a lower mark.
2	5 2nd (5) (6.5/1 +54%) Badri	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(5) Badri 6.5/1, C&D winner. Eight wins from 31 Flat runs. 4 wins from 10 runs this year. Twenty third of 27 in handicap (28/1) at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 26 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ruth Carr. Not completely dismissed. Made fine progress for Ruth Carr but he'll need another career best on his stable debut.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 +25%) Arecibo	12 12/1(+25%)	(8) Arecibo 12/1, Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 12/1) 11 days ago. Not discounted. Hard to win with but this year's AW best gives him claims off a reduced handicap mark.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 -23%) Silky Wilkie	8 8/1(-23%)	(1) Silky Wilkie 8/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in April. 16/1, 7½ lengths ninth of 11 to Highfield Princess in King George Stakes at Goodwood (5f, soft) 27 days ago. Worthy of respect in more realistic scenario. Developed into smart sprinter this year; 5f on Tapeta fine; chance if back to Epsom best.
5th	11 5th (11) (14/1 -17%) Swayze	14 14/1(-17%)	(11) Swayze 14/1, Course winner. Latest win at Haydock in May. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 8/1) 11 days ago. Has work to do. Impressive over this trip at Haydock in May but costly to follow since; tough task here.
6th	2 6th (2) (3.33/1 +49%) Rohaan	3.33 3.33/1(+49%)	(2) Rohaan 3.33/1, Course winner. 7½ lengths seventh of 10 to King Gold in Prix Maurice de Gheest (20/1) at Deauville (6.5f, soft) 25 days ago. Back down in trip. Every chance if back to best in this handicap. High-class, come-from-behind sprinter; patchy in 2023 but goes well on AW; on reduced mark.
7th	10 7th (10) (5.5/1 +21%) Batal Dubai	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(10) Batal Dubai 5.5/1, Last of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Ascot (6f, good) 19 days ago. Unbeaten in 2 visits here, so can't be written off. 2-2 on AW, both over 6f here (looked good in July); flopped latest & untried at 5f.
8th	4 8th (4) (11/1 -47%) Fine Wine	11 11/1(-47%)	(4) Fine Wine 11/1, C&D winner. 12/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 62 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Likeable sort who can't be ruled out. Speedy front-runner, well suited by C&D; won't be an easy horse to pass.
9th	13 9th (13) (28/1 -180%) Antiphon	28 28/1(-180%)	(13) Antiphon 28/1, 10/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Solid claims. In good form over 6f but he'll need a clear personal best to win in this field.
10th	7 10th (7) (18/1 -29%) Acklam Express	18 18/1(-29%)	(7) Acklam Express 18/1, Unreliable sort. Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive. No win since 2020 but he's dropping down the weights; not seeing out his races this summer.
11th	3 11th (3) (25/1 -213%) Dakota Gold	25 25/1(-213%)	(3) Dakota Gold 25/1, Fifteen wins from 57 Flat runs. Respectable seventh of 21 in handicap (12/1) at York (6f, firm). Off 106 days. Dropped 2 lb since last run, so capable of featuring after a short break. Classy veteran who shaped well in two runs in the spring; has C&D form; not discounted.
12th	12 12th (12) (33/1 -267%) Be Proud	33 33/1(-267%)	(12) Be Proud 33/1, 5-time C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in July. 7/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago, finishing with running left. Can get involved if the race is run to suit. Conditions to suit and comes here in good form; not much wiggle room off this mark though.
13th	6 13th (6) (25/1 -56%) Dusky Lord	25 25/1(-56%)	(6) Dusky Lord 25/1, C&D winner. 50/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Still finding his feet for this stable, so others make more appeal. Impressed in 2022 Ayr Silver Cup; latest start was a step forward from his stable debut.

LTO Selection:

The return to handicap company gives Silky Wilkie a big chance after struggling in the Group 2 King George Stakes won by Highfield Princess at Glorious Goodwood, although slight preference is for ALLIGATOR ALLEY. David O'Meara's gelding was only beaten a neck by a classy sprinter at York last week and he can race off a 1lb lower mark here. Dakota Gold should not be underestimated, nor should Arecibo and Rohaan.

ROHAAN is the class act in this field and, while his win at this track came from a much lower mark earlier in his career, it was a quite remarkable performance, so he's worth chancing. Alligator Alley arrives on the back of an excellent effort in a hot race at York and he's of obvious interest along with Batal Dubai, who defends an unbeaten course record.

Fine Wine won't be easy to peg back but ALLIGATOR ALLEY (nap) may well be able to do so now that he's returned to Tapeta.

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.
