There were 61 Races on Saturday 16th August 2025 across 9 meetings. There was 7 races at Ripon, 8 races at Curragh, 7 races at Newbury, 7 races at Doncaster, 6 races at Newmarket, 7 races at Perth, 7 races at Tramore, 6 races at Market Rasen, 6 races at Bath, no doubt Tomform helped you find a winner.

Class & Speed Card

OHARA's third over 7f at Ascot has a solid look and stepping up in distance could be an ideal move given his pedigree suggests the additional yardage should be highly suitable. Zooter, who was thrown in at the deep end when debuting in the Chesham at Royal Ascot, also looks ready for a mile after finding 7f too sharp at York. Mayaada and Karl Burke's newcomer Urchin are others to consider.

The step up to 1m should suit OHARA, who had the reopposing Suspended Sentence (second choice) behind him when third at Ascot.
Class & Speed Card

WILLOFTHEPEOPLE shaped nicely on his debut at Down Royal back in June and that form has worked out well. The A'Ali colt stayed on to finish fourth to stablemate Sir Alfie and was only a neck off another Ger Lyons-trained runner, Howd'yadoit, at the line. That horse has won twice since, including taking the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas. Coincidental Glory showed a nice bit of improvement when third on his second outing at Sligo and is another to consider. Of the newcomers, the Joseph O'Brien-trained Mushaffar is one to note in the market. He was a 125,000-euro purchase at the breeze-ups in May.

This looks like a good opportunity for WILLOFTHEPEOPLE to build on a debut fourth in an event well-advertised by stablemate Howd'yadoit
Class & Speed Card

Epic Poet has solid claims if reproducing his second in a Group 2 at York in May. Candleford landed a Listed contest over 1m4f at Beverley last month and could also feature representing last year's winning yard, but it could pay to stick with the progressive PINHOLE. The son of Frankel built on a respectable effort in the Queen's Vase at Ascot with a facile victory back at the same track on his handicap debut and has plenty of scope for further improvement at this higher level.

All of them bring interest but this Geoffrey Freer may be decided by further improvement from the 3yos PINHOLE and Nightime Dancer.
Class & Speed Card

Not beaten far into third over 1m3f at Southwell last time out, LIBERTY BIRD should appreciate the small drop in trip and this appeals as an ideal opportunity for her to regain the winning thread with jockey Archie Young taking off a valuable 3lb. Echo Of Glory has run with credit since scoring at Bath in June and he is expected to be thereabouts, along with Pay Attention.

This is a tight call between Echo Of Glory and LIBERTY BIRD but the vote goes to Charlie Johnston's filly who drops back in trip.
Class & Speed Card

BINHAREER impressed when scoring comfortably at Ayr last month and this might have been the aim since, with an 8lb rise to manage for that second career success. William Haggas' charge gets the vote ahead of Wolverhampton second Cayman Tai and Addison Grey, who ran with credit on his handicap debut at Chepstow after bolting up at Salisbury. The last two winners of this unique contest, Archduke Ferdinand and Silver Samurai, cannot be ruled out either.

This could be between two of the 3yos. ADDISON GREY was a close third at Chepstow last week and is preferred ahead of Binhareer.
Class & Speed Card

AL SHAHAM impressed when he was successfully introduced over C&D last month and the experience of this venue can only stand him in good stead. Gharma Sutra, who made all in a Ffos Las maiden on debut, was highly tried in the Vintage Stakes at Glorious Goodwood on his next start. This is more attainable and he is a strong contender. Gold Queen Kindly can shade Sword Maker for third place.

An interesting race. GHARMA SUTRA led for a long way in a 7f Group 2 last time and, back at 6f, is preferred to Al Shaham.
Class & Speed Card

SIR ALFIE doesn't look badly treated off his mark of 85 and Nicola Burns taking 7lb off the top-weight is a big help. The Dark Angel colt won his maiden at Down Royal back in June and that form has worked out well. He has run two solid races since, most recently when third off this figure in a rated contest at Cork. Raphello lost out narrowly in a Sligo maiden 10 days ago and he could be the danger now trying handicap company for the first time. Believe In Glory, third in a maiden over in Beverley last time, is another to consider further down the weights.

A tentative vote goes to MONTE VISTA who is bred to be suited by the step up to 6f in her first handicap.
Class & Speed Card

RHYTHM N HOOVES bounced back to something like his best when caught close home at Ascot last time. This looks less competitive and Robert Cowell's charge is taken to confirm running with King Of Stars (third). That was the latter's seasonal reappearance, so he could prove a more potent force on this occasion, while it would be no surprise if Getreadytorumble has more to offer off his current mark off the back of finishing a creditable second at Goodwood.

The 3yos Getreadytorumble and STAR CHORUS could be the pair to focus on, although last year's winner Faustus is respected.
Class & Speed Card

The Karl Burke stable is in excellent form and newcomer NEW KINGMAN may be primed to strike in an intriguing novice stakes. A well-bred son of New Bay, he is narrowly preferred to 450,000gns purchase Avicenna, who represents leading connections but might just come into his own over further in time. A promising second on debut over 6f at Salisbury, Akho Mezzna is capable of being in the shake-up as well.

The vote goes to AKHO MEZZNA who sets a good standard on his second at Salisbury and is open to progress on this step up in trip.
Class & Speed Card

This can go the way of PACIFICA PIER under a 7lb penalty for a comfortable defeat of an exciting subsequent winner on his Sandown introduction. Cieren Fallon takes over in the saddle and Charlie Appleby's Palace Pier colt is preferred to stablemate Del Maro, who cost 850,000 euros at the sales and may have a big say on debut, despite seemingly wanting further on breeding. A promising third first time out at Sandown, The Joker is open to improvement.

850,000euros newcomer Del Maro may be a big player for Godolphin but this could go to stablemate PACIFICA PIER, who won at Sandown.
Class & Speed Card

Fortamour loves Ripon but has been well held in the two previous editions of this race, while It Just Takes Time boasts a C&D win off 10lb higher but only managed seventh in last year's renewal. Of more interest is WRECK IT RYLEY, who had It Just Takes Time back in second when he won over track and trip just under a year ago and appeals with a favoured visor replacing cheekpieces. Novello Lad, Hectic and Dicko The Legend are others with solid credentials.

Plenty of possibles but the best pace may be low and BAY BREEZE is preferred to Showtime Mahomes.
Class & Speed Card

KANSAS can gain revenge on Jack The Bachelor after chasing him home in Cork just over three weeks ago. The Wootton Bassett colt finished a length-and-a-quarter second then, but he was giving his rival 5lb and they race off levels now. Jack The Bachelor kicked from the front that day and maintained his advantage to the line. He has to be respected again. Ipanema Queen was no match for Havana Anna at Naas but it was a solid run in second and she also has to be on the shortlist, getting a few pounds from the boys.

The consistent Kansas should go close but may not cope with Listed runner-up IPANEMA QUEEN (nap), whose yard is in top form
Class & Speed Card

CLASSIC arrives at the top of his game, having landed a tough contest at Sandown before just missing out in the International at Ascot. Beaten only a neck by the subsequent Stewards' Cup winner Two Tribes last time, a similar effort from Richard Hannon's charge may well prove good enough in this company. Jumby will be winning soon based on his recent placed efforts and looks more favourably handicapped than the likes of Cracking Gold and Havana Pusey.

While most come with reasonable each-way claims, the two most persuasive candidates are CRACKING GOLD (nap) and Classic.
Class & Speed Card

A creditable fifth at Kempton when last seen in a race that has worked out well, KING DAVID can reward those who keep the faith after going off favourite on his last three appearances. A taking winner over C&D on his penultimate outing before a close-up third at Southwell, Lumenbourg can follow the selection home, while Twilight Diamond is beginning to get the hang of things in handicap company for an in-form stable.

The vote goes to the progressive LUMENBOURG who is 2-4 at Doncaster and was close third in his bid for a double at Southwell last time
Class & Speed Card

Forceful tactics often pay dividends here and that should suit HALF SOVEREIGN, who arrives on a hat-trick after comfortable victories at Ayr and Yarmouth. A mark of 80 on her nursery debut could prove lenient and she is preferred to Chepstow winner Dubai Time and Awaafi, who is likely to be suited by stepping up in trip after a strong effort when running on for second over 6f here recently.

Having kept on well for a close second over 6f here on her nursery debut, AWAAFI can go one better now tackling 7f for the first time.
Class & Speed Card

Richard Fahey lifted this prize 12 months ago and is taken to repeat the dose courtesy of ROCK OPERA. Following a series of creditable runs in defeat, including when a close-up third at York latest, he appears to be coming to the boil and, from a handy draw, looks to have an excellent chance. Rousing Encore finished fourth in that York contest and must be respected given the manner in which he travelled that day. Others to note include First Folio and Mister Sox.

This renewal can fall to SUPREME KING (nap), who is in better form than his figures might indicate. Grant Wood is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

LOS ANGELES is the class act and it would be a surprise if he got turned over on his return from a little break. The Camelot colt started the season in great form with victories in the Mooresbridge Stakes and Tattersalls Gold Cup. He faded tamely, though, off a strong pace in the Prince Of Wales's at Royal Ascot and bids to bounce back now in lesser company. Zahrann ran really well at Ascot when a staying-on second in the King Edward VII Stakes. This drop in trip probably isn't ideal, but the progressive three-year-old may be the one to give the selection most to do. The consistent Galen should run his race and get in the money.

Three from three at this venue, 2024 Irish Derby winner LOS ANGELES can get his season back on track after a Royal Ascot failure
Class & Speed Card

William Haggas can enhance his good record in this race with the recent Bunbury Cup winner MORE THUNDER. That was the progressive colt's third win from just four starts since moving yards and he looks ready for a crack at this level. The class-dropping Spy Chief is also open to improvement regarding the distance and merits serious thought, while Lennox Stakes winner Witness Stand also rates a key player. The first two home in the Hackwood over 6f here, Rage Of Bamby and King's Gamble, add further spice to a strong renewal.

Lightly raced KING'S GAMBLE may emerge on top in the host of strong contenders which also includes Spy Chief and More Thunder.
Class & Speed Card

COEUR JAUNE is a filly on the upgrade and secured her second victory in good style when returning the ready winner at Leicester last weekend. The daughter of Mehmas could well defy a penalty on that evidence and is worth sticking with. Lightning Galaxy appears on a workable mark based on last month's second at Thirsk and could prove a bigger threat than Keats House, who has been thereabouts in both outings since scoring at Beverley.

This can go to the progressive COEUR JAUNE (nap) who scored over C&D last month before a clearcut win at Leicester last Sunday.
Class & Speed Card

The winner of four of her last five starts, SPIRIT OF JURA has made good progress since her stamina has been tested and there is little to suggest the handicapper has her in his snare just yet. A 6lb rise for winning over 1m5f at Hamilton a fortnight ago looks fair and the daughter of Masar is too upwardly mobile to ignore. Tattycoram boasts some solid form and poses a big danger to the selection. Umbria is another appealing contender.

The progressive 3yo SPIRIT OF JURA has won four of her last five starts and can continue her rise through the ranks.
Class & Speed Card

Carron had struggled in two previous handicap starts prior to scoring in comfortable fashion at Leicester and the three-year-old should be a real force. However, the veteran GARDEN OASIS is already proven around here with seven Ripon successes on his CV. Tim Easterby's charge arrives following a narrow Pontefract triumph and, from just 1lb higher, can enhance his impressive track record. Havana Prince is also noted.

Sole 3yo CARRON rather stands out as a progressive sort in this line-up and can deny Garden Oasis a third win in this race.
Class & Speed Card

BREAK POINT was making his debut for Olly Murphy's yard when narrowly beaten at Uttoxeter. There should be more to come now he's got his act together and Sean Bowen's presence is another positive. The Irish challengers could prove the main dangers, with Chantilly Wings (third) and Oh Janey (fourth) closely matched on their recent running at Roscommon, while No More Silver is preferred of Gordon Elliott's duo.

This looks open for a maiden and there's a strong Irish presence which BREAK POINT may repel if repeating his Uttoxeter form.
Class & Speed Card

CHARASSON doesn't look harshly treated trying handicap company for the first time. The Kodiac filly won her maiden over C&D before diving into a Listed affair at Naas. She was far from disgraced when finishing fifth to Sky Majesty and is still open to improvement on just her fourth career outing. Queen Of Mougins was stakes-placed twice for Ralph Beckett last year and is interesting on her first start for Adrian Murray. Heavenly Power was well beaten on his last visit here, but his three track-and-trip triumphs include this race 12 months ago and he could be each-way value.

CHARASSON looked a promising prospect when winning her maiden over C&D and she is bred to be better than her opening mark of 90
Class & Speed Card

As a half-brother to five winners, including Fillies' Mile winner Quadrilateral, there is a lot like about the pedigree of SLIGHT OF FOOT, who debuts for high-profile connections and could make a big impact on his racecourse debut. Richard Hannon also introduces a notable type in the form of Law Court, while betting market support for Edwin Hubble, a half-brother to an Australian Group 1 winner, would also be highly noteworthy. Nova Centauri is another with a captivating profile to bear in mind.

The well-bred VENETIAN PRINCE showed promise in a hot maiden at Newmarket's July meeting and can put that experience to good use.
Class & Speed Card

Grandlad made most of the running when scoring at Hamilton a fortnight ago, while the potentially well-treated Hiya Maite is another who likes to race prominently. That pair are likely to set a fast pace, which could play into the hands of MUKER. Nigel Tinkler's sprinter produced his usual late surge when successful over C&D last month and another bold bid looks on the cards, despite carrying top weight.

Several have possibilities but the vote goes to the well-handicapped HIYA MAITE, who could make a bold bid on this drop back in grade.
Class & Speed Card

ALIVE AGAIN displayed a game attitude when he made a winning handicap debut at Yarmouth at the start of this month and has a live chance of following up off just 2lb higher, with Saffie Osborne notably retaining the ride. Showyoutheropes has shown improved form of late and also looks a key player with progression possible over this trip. Opera Wave and Nanny Park both try new headgear and each merits a betting check.

Saffie Osborne made all on ALIVE AGAIN at Yarmouth a fortnight ago and he is taken to make it 2-2 in handicaps. Opera Wave is feared
Class & Speed Card

SPRING CHORUS won at Beverley in May and finished a resolute second back at the same venue last time. The daughter of New Approach should be refreshed by a short break and Michael Herrington's inmate looks to have a fighting chance off her current mark. Phaedra could land a blow back on her favoured ground, while Shielas Well is worth noting having won over 1m2f here in June.

Spring Chorus and PHAEDRA were in very good form in the spring and have been off since. Richard Hannon's 3yo is narrowly preferred.
Class & Speed Card

GALE MAHLER failed to fire in Grade 3 company in Ireland last month, but has strong claims back in handicap company. A bad blunder may have cost Adrian Keatley's charge the race when second at Uttoxeter in June, but she looks capable of winning off her current mark with a clear round. Lightkeeper could bounce back and get involved, while King Roly returns to this shorter trip with a shout and is preferred over Garde Des Champs in this grade.

The mare GALE MAHLER is only 3lb higher than when perhaps an unfortunate loser at Uttoxeter and her Galway failure is readily forgiven.
Class & Speed Card

PUPPET MASTER is worth another chance, despite only beating one home in the Irish Derby. In rear throughout, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt could never get competitive but, having looked like a stayer when finding plenty to win the Lingfield Derby Trial, the son of Camelot gives the impression he should be suited to this longer trip. Versatile seven-year-old Absurde looks his main threat. A former Ebor and County Hurdle winner, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding has twice run respectably in the Melbourne Cup. Dallas Star should be suited to dropping back in trip having raced over further of late.

ABSURDE is proven at this trip and the form of his runner-up effort at York has since been well advertised by the winner and the third
Class & Speed Card

Three-year-old's have won both renewals of this contest and that trend could continue courtesy of AL WASL STORM. Outclassed in both the Derby and the Queen's Vase, Owen Burrows' colt now goes handicapping from what looks a workable mark. Renato bumped into an improver at Southwell latest so must be of real interest, as is the case with Byblos, who didn't need to come out of first gear to break his maiden tag recently.

Al Wasl Storm and Byblos are fascinating but RESPIRO SOLITARIO might just have enough improvement in him still.
Class & Speed Card

RELEASE THE STORM did just what was required when he made a winning introduction at Leicester and tops the shortlist, despite picking up a 7lb penalty. With the likes of The Northern Lord, Kath's Tipple and Way Of The Will all well held on debut, it seems safe to assume that Roman Fortress - a half-brother to three winners - won't need to be anything special to make his presence known.

It might be worth sticking with the penalised RELEASE THE STORM, who made a bright start when winning at Leicester two weeks ago.
Class & Speed Card

WONDERBOLT was a cosy winner over 7f here last week and is hard to oppose given that display suggested stepping up to a mile won't be much of an issue. Castro Aurum has winning form over the trip and is another key player off a workable mark, but the main danger is Montrachet Girl if she can come back to her Southwell form earlier in the year.

The well-bred WONDERBOLT (nap) powered clear over 7f here recently on her handicap debut and can defy a 7lb rise now upped to 1m.
Class & Speed Card

BAY DREAM BELIEVER was winning for the first time since landing this contest last year when scoring at Doncaster a fortnight ago. She looked to have plenty left in the tank and is one to keep on the right side of raised only 2lb. 2023 winner Little Ted was no match for the selection last term, so Scarriff may prove a bigger danger having won at Musselburgh in July.

2023 victor Little Ted should go well again but BAY DREAM BELIEVER is tipped to follow up last season's victory off the same mark.
Class & Speed Card

LEDECKY looks sure to come on from her debut fifth at Galway, especially as she finished that race out well in the closing stages. There is plenty to like about her on paper, being by Wootton Bassett out of a Group 3-placed mare. Marazion sets the standard with a rating of 83 and hasn't been running badly in rated races, so has to be respected. Frankel filly Matrice is trip-versatile and likes to race prominently, while Monntie didn't build upon an opening fourth at Navan when finishing last in Limerick but there is still time for her to show more.

Ledecky could easily step up on her Galway effort but MARAZION and Matrice bring the best form.
Class & Speed Card

BROUGHSHANE makes most appeal of the recent winners. He made a winning debut for Mickey Bowen's yard when scoring at Market Rasen in first-time blinkers and he may well have more to offer in the headgear. Roscommon winner Power Of Words travels over from Ireland and can feature again with his jockey's 5lb allowance helping his cause, while Invictus World is another to consider off the back of a decisive victory over C&D.

Summergrounds is dangerous fresh but SPIT SPOT appeals as a mare who might well find something for today's step up in trip.
Class & Speed Card

York runner-up WITHOUTFURTHERADO can go one better back on home soil. Somewhat unlucky in running when staying on late to finish fifth at Gowran on his previous start, the Arthur Moore-trained gelding looked to appreciate stepping up to a mile on the Knavesmire. Kept at that distance now, the three-year-old seems to be fairly handicapped off just 2lb higher. Auburn Avenue, who took minor honours in a Dundalk maiden last month, should be competitive back in handicap company. Third over C&D earlier in the season, the Phoenix Of Spain filly has every chance for trainer Chris Timmons. Justenzia is worth a market check on her first start for Denis Hogan.

After a good C&D run early in the season, AUBURN AVENUE flopped at Leopardstown but could now be poised to win after a Dundalk second
Class & Speed Card

A confident vote goes to JOUEUSE ROYALE, who struck the woodwork over 2m at Uttoxeter on her UK/stable debut last month. Stepping up in trip looks certain to have a positive effect given the way she finished that day and this represents a fine opportunity. Taktique Gagnante, second on her last couple of starts, must feature prominently in calculations. That being said, Kottayam was only a place behind the selection latest and could prove to be a bigger threat.

This looks a good opportunity for JOUEUSE ROYALE to get off the mark after her pleasing second last time. Voodoo Angel is next best.
Class & Speed Card

It is impossible to rule out any of these, so only a tentative vote can go to SKIMMER. Now two from two having after winning at Kempton last month, Harry Charlton's colt could be a cut above in time and this lofty opening mark might not stop him. Organ completed a hat-trick at Goodwood in June so remains of interest, despite a further 5lb rise, while Night Step seeks a hat-trick of his own having won at Lingfield and Newmarket recently. The unbeaten Hopewell Rock hasn't been seen since last October and the market can guide.

This is a field to be highly enthusiastic about from top to bottom but SKIMMER left a striking impression with his two wins.
Class & Speed Card

Project Geofin bounced back to form at Pontefract last month and given the stiff nature of the course was suggested as a prompt for the improved effort, there is a doubt about him following up on this more galloping track. Last-start course winner ABSOLUTE STAR has no doubts on that level and, open to progression, she shades preference stepping up from a mile off 5lb higher. Pol Roger and Giselles Defence complete the shortlist.

This can go to the lightly raced 4yo ABSOLUTE STAR who won here on her return last month and is open to more progress at this new trip.
Class & Speed Card

KINGSTONIAN was very easy to back over this trip in a Curragh maiden, but kept on for fourth and the form was franked when the fifth came out and won at the Galway Festival. Dream On Baby is making her debut on the Flat but has some eyecatching hurdling form, notably when runner-up in a Grade 3 mares' novices' hurdle at Fairyhouse in January. A staying maiden on the Flat ought to be within her compass this season. So Golden is a nicely-bred sort who showed up well when beaten a length into second on debut at Ballinrobe. Sea The Stars gelding Kasgani is a potential improver in this company.

Dream On Baby is a useful hurdler but those with Flat form are preferred and KINGSTONIAN (nap) can see off Kasgani.
Class & Speed Card

Soft ground appeared to scupper LARKFIELD LUSIVE's hat-trick bid at Carlisle but conditions ought to favour him this time around and an immediate return to form looks likely. Happy Index has largely held her form since scoring over an extended 3m2f here in May, so must enter calculations along with Burgundy Man, whose consistent efforts would be deserving of success. Green Bonnet is completely unexposed and should be monitored in the betting ahead of her handicap bow.

A very open handicap but LARKFIELD LUSIVE is taken to shrug off his no-show at Cartmel on ground that was too soft.
Class & Speed Card

TROJAN TRUTH has flourished of late and after completing a hat-trick with a canny display at Chepstow last month, a 3lb rise might not be enough to prevent the Ed de Giles-trained six-year-old from extending his winning sequence. Having won his last two starts in this discipline, Man Of The Sea is a notable danger back on the Flat, while Sneaky Blinder and Bohemian Breeze are others with reasonable chances.

Bohemian Breeze has claims but TROJAN TRUTH is fancied to complete the four-timer and make it six from ten in blinkers.
Class & Speed Card

AMERICAN IN PARIS has strong claims of providing her young apprentice with a second success. A winner on her penultimate appearance at Naas, the Paul Flynn-trained mare is weighted to confirm that form with runner-up Annie Lavinia. Having run a solid race when mid-division at Cork subsequently, the five-year-old might benefit from having 10lb off her back here. Nicely drawn towards the stands rail, the daughter of Starspangledbanner should be a leading player. Annie Lavinia is bidding to follow up a breakthrough win at Naas and, despite having a bit to find with the selection, she should be competitive. Send Harry is an improving three-year-old worth considering.

VON KROLOCK was only beaten 1.25l when third in this last year and he may be able to go two places better off 8lb lower
Class & Speed Card

NAP HAND was useful on the Flat so it would have been no great surprise that he proved too strong for a similar field when back over hurdles at Stratford last month. The penalty incurred for that success is unlikely to stop Alan King's gelding from going in again, although Squeezebox could be a threat if taking to this new discipline. Quintus Arrius heads the remainder.

This looks a match between Stratford winner NAP HAND and hurdles newcomer Squeezebox and the former's experience gives him the edge.
Class & Speed Card

Galaxy Wonder availed of a good front-running ride from Nicola Burns to make the breakthrough over an extended 1m1f at Ballinrobe. The concern is that any time he has raced over further, he hasn't troubled the judge. Several of these have yet to prove their stamina over this distance so it may be best to side with ENZIYA, who was placed in Roscommon before delivering over an extended 1m3f at Limerick in June. Boyne Valley finished second behind Galaxy Wonder in Ballinrobe and she is in the running for another cheque.

This is trappy and some have stamina to prove. ENZIYA can't be knocked in that respect and he'll enjoy this return to good ground.
Class & Speed Card

FIVEONEFIVE landed a similar event in comfortable fashion at Cartmel in June, before having to be pulled up after losing his action at Roscommon latest. That effort came over fences though and should returning to the smaller obstacles be of benefit, he is likely to go close. Recent Uttoxeter scorer Vocito must compete from 6lb higher today but is of considerable interest, along with Rock On Pedro, who made the perfect start to life with Olly Murphy when on target at Worcester last month.

It's hard to rule out any of these. EVALUATION has yet to transfer his smart Flat form to hurdles but there's time yet.
Class & Speed Card

Princess Mia is a good starting point after she made a winning handicap debut at Yarmouth and she can surely go well off just 3lb higher. However, a chance is taken on STAR OF ATLANTIS building on a second-placed finish over C&D last month. That was her most encouraging effort on turf so far and there may be more to come. Timeless Spirit and Oasis Sunrise complete the shortlist.

Timeless Spirit is up to winning off this mark but PRINCESS MIA remains open to improvement and can make it 2-2 on turf upped 3lb.
Class & Speed Card

Despite being 7lb out of the handicap, it might pay to side with PROSPECT HOUSE. Peter Niven's charge seldom runs poorly here, emphasised by two victories and two recent seconds this campaign, and this could be a good opportunity to go one place better. Dream Jet was no match for an impressive winner at Perth but is respected down in class, while others to note include Harel Du Marais and Mix Of Clover.

Despite him being 7lb wrong, this can go to course specialist PROSPECT HOUSE. Mix Of Clover holds claims and is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

STEPDANCE is hard to get away from in her bid for a hat-trick. She began her winning spree over C&D last month and followed up four days later under the mandatory 7lb penalty at Limerick. She has been freshened up since then and, despite the handicapper having his say, is very much the one to beat. Captain Hanley stepped up to an extended 1m4f on his first start for Eamonn O'Connell in Tipperary and finished a never-nearer fifth. He should improve upon that performance as it was in a higher grade. Highway Sixty One competes off bottom weight and has form over this sort of trip to give him a chance.

This might not take a lot of winning and STEPDANCE is the one horse heading in the right direction.
Class & Speed Card

Narrowly denied over shorter here on his penultimate start, RABY MERE should appreciate a return to this track and stepping up in trip may bring about improvement as he looks to land a third career success. Placed on each of his last five outings, Am Still Here is entitled on the premises again, as well as McGregors Charge, who may be winless in twelve starts, but has run with plenty of credit recently.

Preference is for AM STILL HERE (nap) who has yet to run a bad race over fences and looks ready for this longer trip.
Class & Speed Card

CALAFIORI has shown a good level of consistency and could prove to be too wily for his less-experienced rivals, despite having finished second on four of his last five outings. Zipwire is open to improvement based on the form he has achieved on both starts here, while Justcallmesergio is an appealing newcomer to consider for a yard with a strong record with juveniles at this venue.

A bit unlucky in nurseries the past twice, CALAFIORI sets the standard. Justcallmesergio looks the most interesting newcomer.
Class & Speed Card

A highly creditable second in his bid for a double over 3m here, RIBEYE narrowly sets the standard on recent form and dropping back in trip should not inconvenience him too much as he looks to land a sixth career success. That may come at the main expense of I Am Rocco, who caught the eye on his first run for new connections when third at Worcester last month. Runner-up on each of his last four starts, Getthepot is expected to be thereabouts again.

The vote goes to COULDBEAWEAPON, who has been a bit frustrating over fences but is interesting back up in trip with new headgear.
Class & Speed Card

This revolves around TOUNSIVATOR, who is having just his second race on the Flat in Ireland. He has been very solid for Willie Mullins in the NH sphere in winning three times, including the Royal Bond. He was last seen finishing fourth in the Galway Hurdle at the end of last month and is a fascinating runner off a mark of 78 in this handicap. Expound was prominent for a long way over hurdles in Tramore on Thursday before dropping to third and has plenty of form on the Flat to call upon. Gracesolution generally runs her race and won over this trip at Dundalk in March.

Hard to get away from TOUNSIVATOR, a 139-rated hurdler now reverting to the Flat
Class & Speed Card

The John McConnell yard has hit a rich vein of form recently and with a good record at this track, the well-bred VALENCIAGA may be primed to strike on debut in an open-looking bumper. Other debutantes to note include Gijima and Tenthousandreasons for last year's winning connections, while Coutach looks the pick of those with experience despite putting in a disappointing effort when well fancied at Galway last month.

The hood could be a notable addition for COUTACH who raced too freely when again strong in the market at Galway.
Class & Speed Card

It looks best to side with SAFARI DREAM. Having completed his hat-trick at Salisbury in June, the five-year-old hasn't made much impact in two starts since. However, he is afforded an ease in class today and from what is still a workable mark, further success could be on the cards. Moe's Legacy has improved tenfold this season and is respected, while the lightly-raced Sundiata Keita sports cheekpieces for the first time and is another to note.

Em Four's latest blowout is best ignored, but this mark should be fine for MOE'S LEGACY (nap) as she looks for a third C&D win.

A comfortable winner over this distance on his first run back from wind surgery at Worcester, ERNEST GRAY is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and he can follow up off 4lb higher. Olivers Travels has run with credit in handicap chases over further the last twice and is comparatively well treated in this sphere. Donnie Azoff aims to rediscover the form that saw him score at Uttoxeter in May.

Although he hasn't run to his best on his last few starts, GALATA BRIDGE has his ideal conditions and is now tried in cheekpieces.

Runner-up when sent off market leader for a handicap at Galway, SHODA can recover those losses. A maiden winner at the corresponding Festival 12 months prior, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly has been lightly raced in the interim. Given her proven ability to stay two miles with an ease in the ground, the four-year-old looks the one to beat. A Flat winner in France as a three-year-old, Highwind struck over hurdles on his debut for Willie Mullins. Although yet to replicate that success, the gelding shouldn't be written off by any means. The in-foal Curious Bride is worth another chance having been hampered early on when disappointing at Leopardstown recently.

Compensation awaits for SHODA after a narrow defeat at Galway, where she had several of these behind

Banana undoubtedly arrives in the best form and is likely to play a leading role, but it might pay to side with VAUNTED. Adrian Wintle's gelding finished a couple of places behind the former over C&D latest, but the dual course winner now lurks on an attractive handicap mark and might be able to take a step forward. Secret Handsheikh should not be overlooked either.

Secret Handsheikh is back on a workable mark but BANANA has been running well all summer, mainly from the front, and looks the one.

A hefty 20lb rise will make life tougher for SIXTY PLUS after scoring at Worcester last month, but he could not have done it any easier the last twice and a slight drop in trip may suit as he attempts to complete the hat-trick. A revelation on the back of wind surgery, Game Beaaa arrives with claims after successive wins here, while Play Pretend looks to build upon a narrow victory at Worcester, for which he has a 2lb rise to deal with.

This contest may be dominated by the three who won last time out, with preference for GAME BEAAA (nap). Sixty Plus is second choice.

An impressive winner over hurdles at Killarney recently, SWELLTIME looks well treated back on the Flat. Following another solid effort when third at Kilbeggan subsequently, the nine-year-old is now rated 105 over flights. From a mark of just 42 on the level, the two-time Flat winner should be capable of adding to that tally. Making much of the running to score at the Kerry venue, he should be ideally suited to this tight track, which favours those racing up with the pace. Tramore Derby runner-up Spinning Web is another with every chance. Sent off favourite on that occasion, the Mags Mullins-trained gelding ran very well behind a subsequent winner. Duke Otto could improve for first-time cheekpieces.

A weak race, even for the grade, with the percentage call being DUMB LOVE, second over C&D two starts back

There has been no stopping AZUINTHEJUNGLE of late. Nigel Tinkler's improving three-year-old completed his hat-trick in comfortable fashion at Ayr last month and a subsequent 9lb rise might not be enough to halt further progress. Cindy Lou Who finished a creditable third in the Brighton Bullet recently so must be of interest now eased in class, along with Solar Edge, who arrives having struck the woodwork at Windsor last time out.

Preference is for SOLAR EDGE, a keen-going front-runner whose last two efforts from wide stalls show this mark is within range.

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.
