Lord Riddiford

8/1(-60%)
(15) Lord Riddiford 8/1, Is struggling for form at present but has won the last 2 renewals of this contest, so can't be dismissed lightly.
Winner of the last 2 runnings of this (soft and good); lower mark now; very interesting.

2nd (4) Existent (12/1 +14%)
Existent

12/1(+14%)
(4) Existent 12/1, Highly tried since winning a pair of AW handicaps in early 2022. Ran respectably in a first-time visor returned to handicap company when fifth at Ascot last month but wasn't in the same form there 3 days ago. Hood on for 1st time/cheekpieces refitted.
Fair 5f Group form; creditable handicap run in July; down the field at Ascot on Saturday.

3rd (9) Alligator Alley (12/1 +25%)
Alligator Alley

12/1(+25%)
(9) Alligator Alley 12/1, Completed a hat-trick on AW last winter and encouragingly ended his sequence of slow starts when third in 8-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm) 44 days ago. Not out of things.
Useful C&D form as 2yo; favourably treated; excuse in the Dash; best on good or quicker.
4
4th (11) Designer (7/1 +50%)
Designer

7/1(+50%)
(11) Designer 7/1, Has yet to fire this season, her response to pressure a weak one in a listed event at Ayr (5f, firm) 38 days ago. On the plus side, she's been given a chance by the handicapper.
Improver over 5f in 2022; below-par efforts on last 2 starts push her down the list.
5th
5th (14) Lihou (20/1 +9%)
Lihou

20/1(+9%)
(14) Lihou 20/1, 4 wins from 11 runs this year, latest at Epsom in April. Not seen to best effect under a 7-lb claimer on most recent outing at Chester, having raced wide.
Added four 5f races this year; needs something special to win this competitive race.
6th
6th (6) Vintage Clarets (8/1 -60%)
Vintage Clarets

8/1(-60%)
(6) Vintage Clarets 8/1, Back on the scoreboard at Chester (5.1f) in June and followed up in ready fashion at Newcastle (5f) 13 days later. Posted another good effort when third at Ascot (5f, soft) last time and ought to go well again.
Useful efforts at 5f this summer; same mark as recent Ascot 3rd; can go well off same mark.
7th
7th (3) Acklam Express (22/1 +33%)
Acklam Express

22/1(+33%)
(3) Acklam Express 22/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2020 and ran below form in a first-time tongue strap returned to handicap company at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 54 days ago, albeit not ideally placed. Needs to better recent efforts.
Won C&D handicap as 2yo; high-class form since; excuses for both British runs in 2023.
8th
8th (5) Dream Composer (7.5/1 +6%)
Dream Composer

7.5/1(+6%)
(5) Dream Composer 7.5/1, Has taken his form up a notch this year, bagging his third handicap when getting up close home at Sandown (5f) last month. Not seen to best effect when down the field at Ascot on most recent outing and better judged on previous form as a result.
Won over 6f and 5f here; looked good at Sandown in July; capable of having a say.
9th
9th (2) Raasel (3.33/1 +17%)
Raasel

3.33/1(+17%)
(2) Raasel 3.33/1, Another big success story for these connections, winning at listed/Group 3 level last year. Hasn't quite hit the same heights this time round but posted another respectable effort in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 15 in handicap at Ascot (5f, soft) 17 days ago. Ought to go well again.
Yet to match the excellence of 5f runs last summer, including C&D, but not far away.
10th
10th (12) Navello (12/1 -100%)
Navello

12/1(-100%)
(12) Navello 12/1, Returned to form with cheekpieces reapplied when landing 20-runner Epsom Dash (5f, good to firm) 59 days ago, leading close home. Remains feasibly treated on the pick of last season's form.
Things never went right here 12 months ago but fine strike-rate at 5f on tricky tracks.
11th
11th (13) Whenthedealinsdone (9/1 +25%)
Whenthedealinsdone

9/1(+25%)
(13) Whenthedealinsdone 9/1, C&D winner who was below form in first-time blinkers at Ascot (5f, soft,) on most recent outing. Needs to bounce back in a first-time tongue strap (also refitted with cheekpieces).
C&D winner at this meeting in 2021; back on latest winning mark but ebbs and flows now.
12th
12th (7) Bedford Flyer (10/1 +44%)
Bedford Flyer

10/1(+44%)
(7) Bedford Flyer 10/1, Ran well first 2 starts for new yard but was below form in handicap won by Vintage Clarets at Newcastle (5f) 32 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
Two prominent shows in 5f York handicaps for new yard; disappointing on AW in June.
LTO Selection:

13:40 Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

LORD RIDDIFORD might not have been at his best recently, but he has won this contest two years on the spin, the latest off 3lb higher, and John Quinn's battle-hardened sprinter is fancied to bounce back at his favoured venue. Navello makes obvious appeal having landed the Dash off 3lb lower in June, while Raasel, who posted an improved effort at Ascot 17 days ago, might not be far away either. Vintage Clarets and Dream Composer are also noted.

RAASEL is still operating a little way below last year's levels but he ran respectably back in handicap company at Ascot on his most recent outing and could be the answer off a 1 lb lower mark, especially now returned to Goodwood where he boasts form figures of 112. Vintage Clarets finished a place ahead of the selection at Ascot and ought to go well again, with Navello and Dream Composer others to consider.

Raasel's C&D form earns him a lot of respect but LORD RIDDIFORD has a special record in this race and can bring up the hat-trick.

1
1st (3) Dogged (5/1 +17%)
Dogged

5/1(+17%)
(3) Dogged 5/1, Ended a long losing run at Ripon (1m) in April and having disappointed next 2 starts, he duly bounced back to form under positive tactics when landing 9-runner Nottingham handicap (10.2f) last month. Not taken lightly.
Made all last time but may face competition for the lead and consistency not strong point.
2
2nd (1) Just Hiss (6.5/1 +28%)
Just Hiss

6.5/1(+28%)
(1) Just Hiss 6.5/1, Veteran who arrives in good form, back to winning ways at Newcastle (10.2f) in June prior to a good third behind Dogged at Nottingham (10.2f) 24 days ago, shaken up under 3f out and staying on. Runner-up in this race 12 months ago and he should go well again.
Less than 2l behind Dogged last time and 1lb better off; shouldn't be far away again.
3
3rd (8) She's Got Bottle (9/1 +18%)
She's Got Bottle

9/1(+18%)
(8) She's Got Bottle 9/1, C&D winner. 16/1, below best on the back of 10 weeks off when ninth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 15 days ago. May well be sharper for that run now but she's yet to defy a mark this high.
Dual course winner last autumn; could make them all go if allowed her own way in front.
4
4th (4) Isle Of Wolves (4/1 +27%)
Isle Of Wolves

4/1(+27%)
(4) Isle Of Wolves 4/1, Losing run is mounting up but he again ran well despite another slow stride when second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 3 weeks ago. Visor replaces the blinkers now and he's well capable of playing a part.
Consistent, but record of 2-36 sounds a note of caution and does seem better over further.
5th
5th (11) La Forza (11/1 -120%)
La Forza

11/1(-120%)
(11) La Forza 11/1, Proved at least as good as ever on the back of a lengthy lay off when headed late on at Bath (10f) in May. Not seen to best effect when fifth at Catterick (12f) last month, staying on final 1f and not out of things in a competitive contest.
Has twice run well since returning from a mammoth absence and should go well again.
6th
6th (7) Sameem (6/1 +57%)
Sameem

6/1(+57%)
(7) Sameem 6/1, Stepped up on his reappearance when ending long losing run in Ripon Ladies Derby in June. Good second at Hamilton next start but didn't look so well served by drop back to this trip when sixth of 10 in amateur riders' event at Pontefract 4 weeks ago.
Rider knows him well, but this trip looked inadequate at Pontefract last time.
7th
7th (5) Contrast (5/1 +29%)
Contrast

5/1(+29%)
(5) Contrast 5/1, C&D winner who bounced back to form following 10 weeks off to score at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 24 days ago, leading entering final 1f. Another in the mix with a repeat from 2 lb higher mark.
Won narrowly at Carlisle last month; only 2lb higher but not certain to repeat that effort.
8th
8th (2) Viva Voce (12/1 -33%)
Viva Voce

12/1(-33%)
(2) Viva Voce 12/1, Bounced back to form and overcame a pace bias in the process to score at Musselburgh (1m) in June. Ran to a similar level without troubling the principals when sixth of 11 in handicap back at that venue 4 weeks ago and he's unexposed at this trip.
Back off last winning mark and pedigree offers encouragement for the step up in trip.
9th
9th (12) Straitouttacompton (150/1 -50%)
Straitouttacompton

150/1(-50%)
(12) Straitouttacompton 150/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 12 in handicap (125/1) at Catterick (12.1f, good) 13 days ago. Hard to fancy.
0-18 for current yard and badly out of form at present.
10th
10th (6) Barney's Angel (6/1 +40%)
Barney's Angel

6/1(+40%)
(6) Barney's Angel 6/1, Maiden who is proving consistent, fourth of 9 to Dogged in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f) last month.
Behind two of these at Nottingham last time; more needed if he is to break his duck.
11th
11th (13) L'es Fremantle (200/1 -33%)
L'es Fremantle

200/1(-33%)
(13) L'es Fremantle 200/1, Unreliable type. Remains a maiden after 37 Flat runs. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good, 125/1) 13 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.
Sole success in 103 starts came over fences in 2018; no apeal.
LTO Selection:

14:00 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

ISLE OF WOLVES appeals for a race of this nature and, with blinkers swapped for a first-time visor, the seven-year-old can expand on the mainly resurgent form he has posted since the turn of the year. The son of Nathaniel finished second at Lingfield when last seen and, with Hannah Dring pitching in with her 5lb claim, another bold effort is expected. Dogged and Just Hiss are closely matched based on last month's Nottingham encounter and are others fancied to be on the premises.

ISLE OF WOLVES needs to cut out the slow starts but he's proved largely consistent from similar marks in recent months and, with a visor replacing the blinkers, he could just be worth chancing to put it all together. Carlisle-scorer Contrast, La Forza and Dogged head up the dangers in what rates a competitive opener.

It may be worth siding with QUOTELINE DIRECT who likes tracks with a stiff finish and the stable won a division of this last year.

Third of 13 in novice event (15/2) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Goodwood Maiden (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

An intriguing maiden in which ARRAY gets the vote in following a pleasing second on his racecourse debut at Newbury last month, beating subsequent winner Indian Run into third. His pedigree needs no introduction to any racing fan and, given his dam is a half-sister to the world-class Frankel, there is likely much more to come from Andrew Balding's inmate. Alaskan Gold finished third over this distance at Nottingham on his racecourse debut and is feared most, while the unraced A La Noche appeals most of the newcomers.

ARRAY came with a reputation and duly shaped encouragingly first time up at Newbury, going down only to a useful one with experience and pulling clear from a subsequent winner. He looks useful and can go one better. A La Noche and Dorney Lake are a couple of newcomers to note.

Andrew Balding's ARRAY, who has a Gimcrack entry, was strong in the market when second at Newbury and the third impressed on Saturday.

Lost her way in the winter and Streaky Bay is clearly her yard's best shot.
LTO Selection:

14:25 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

A first-time tongue-tie needs to aid Weydaad's cause, given she arrives here following a disappointing run at Newmarket last month. Although she secured a decent third at Kempton on her penultimate outing, a tentative vote is given to STREAKY BAY, who won over this C&D last month. She ran well enough in defeat off her revised mark when second at Haydock 11 days ago and should appreciate a return to this venue. Fayasel is another to consider off a sliding handicap mark.

STREAKY BAY has made a positive start this summer after a year off and is the obvious selection, with the reliable Fayasel best of the others.

The suspicion is that there's more to come from the lightly raced WEYDAAD and she's preferred to Streaky Bay.

(8) Grand Duchess Olga 7.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1 and blinkered for first time, very good second of 6 in handicap at Bath (14f, firm) 53 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Rae Guest and more interesting than most at this level.
Improved for blinkers when second at Bath last time; could go well on stable debut.

3.33/1(+33%)
(1) Ask Peter 3.33/1, Fourth of 6 in handicap at Wetherby (13f, good to firm, 7/2) 56 days ago, having run of race. Doesn't look straightforward but this is a pretty big drop in class.
Drops in class and trip, but is 0-12 and looks a hard ride.

2yo AW winner; well held when returning from absence here last time; plenty to prove.

Well beaten all four starts but was very well backed last time; cheekpieces on.
LTO Selection:

14:35 Beverley Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

The first-time blinkers might prompt some improvement from Buford, while the lightly-raced Time In Motion was well supported in the betting on her handicap debut at Yarmouth last time out and could make some progress now she is tried with cheekpieces applied. However, ASK PETER has competed in some deeper races before now and his proven stamina could give him a vital edge today. Gerrots is another with a reasonable chance at this level.

GRAND DUCHESS OLGA made much more of an impact fitted with blinkers when runner-up in Bath in June and she can make her first start for hew new yard a winning one. Ask Peter isn't straightforward but this is a drop in grade. while it will be interesting to see whether the money comes for Time In Motion again.

This can go to GRAND DUCHESS OLGA who appeared to improve for the fitting of blinkers when second at Bath last time.

No real show in two previous runnings but 7lb lower than last July; 3rd run for new yard.
LTO Selection:

14:50 Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

PRIDE OF AMERICA (winner), Haunted Dream (third) and Millebosc (seventh) were heavily involved in a good quality renewal of the John Smith's Cup at York last month and, while they all boast solid claims, the former shades preference and is fancied to come out on top again off just a 4lb higher mark. The ground has come up in his favour and, with Frederick Larson able to claim 3lb, there is a lot to like about his chance. Sandown winner Lord Protector is another who commands attention.

EAGLE'S WAY failed in his bid for a five-timer when runner-up at Yarmouth last week but still posted a promising effort after ten months off the track so Sir Mark Prescott's improver is taken to resume winning ways. William Haggas' Millebosc caught the eye when seventh in the John Smith's Cup last time and heads the list of dangers, although the quartet of Soto Sizzler, Outbreak, Haunted Dream and Paradias all have plenty to recommend them too in this ultra-competitive handicap.

There has been enough promise in MILLEBOSC's two runs for William Haggas to think he has a big handicap in him off his current mark.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Yarmouth Stakes (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

A case can be made for several of these, but LOADED QUIVER looks the one to side with following a decent second over this trip at Chepstow on his racecourse bow. He is related to a few smart types, including Group 3 winner Mighty Gurkha, and he is taken to improve further with this in mind. Spanish Blaze stepped forward considerably from his debut to score over 6f at Newbury most recently and is feared under a 6lb penalty, while Magnificent Match completes the shortlist.

Preference is for THIS TIME MAYBE, who was doing all his best work at the finish on debut at Lingfield in June and will have learnt plenty from that experience. Spanish Blaze and Loaded Quiver head the list of dangers.

Judged on breeding, LOADED QUIVER looks poised to build on his Chepstow effort and go one better. This Time Maybe is second choice.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Beverley Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

EXPERT CHOICE paid the price for a slow start in a deeper-looking race over C&D last month, but the manner in which he stayed on to go second near the finish created a very favourable impression. With progression expected, he appears the one to be with. Galactic Charm should also be wiser after making a pleasing start when third in a novice at Ascot 17 days ago, while Tribal Rhythm can figure with a step forward from last month's debut in a similar event at Haydock.

EXPERT CHOICE was left with a lot to do when runner-up to a subsequent winner over C&D last time so shades the vote over Tribal Rhythm, who showed plenty to work on when fourth at Haydock. Galactic Charm is another who made an encouraging start at Ascot so needs considering, too.

The vote goes to GALACTIC CHARM who appeared to exceed market expectations when third on his Ascot debut having been sent off at 25-1.

Twice beaten by Haatem and needs to find a surge of improvement from somewhere.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Goodwood Group 2 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

HAATEM has progressed well since catching the eye here on his racecourse debut in May. Fifth in the Coventry at Royal Ascot, he filled the runner-up spot in the Superlative at Newmarket behind City Of Troy, when seeing out this distance well, and, without a rival of that calibre in this line-up, Richard Hannon's colt has the ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways. Iberian made a bright start to his career at Newbury and should go well along with Chesham third Golden Mind.

On the face of it, IBERIAN has quite a bit to find graduating from novice company, but he created a very favourable impression when winning at Newbury and, given his pedigree, there should be lots more to come. Haatem had little chance with a top prospect in the Superlative Stakes but he beat the rest easily enough and he's the form pick, with Soldier's Gold another to consider up in trip.

Iberian is promising and Haatem is solid, but GOLDEN MIND is better than the bare form of his Chesham third.

(14) Baileys Khelstar 5/1, Winner at Beverley in July. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (1½m, soft, 9/1) 10 days ago. Represents a leading yard and is less exposed than a lot of these. Considered.
Soft ground may have been behind latest run; threatens to be suited by the stiffer test.

(1) True Courage 11/1, C&D winner. 9/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f, firm) 30 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Up in trip. Visor back on. Enters calculations.
Visor sported for all five wins returns; is a previous C&D winner, so there are positives.
LTO Selection:

15:35 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

SPIT SPOT recorded a staying-on fourth over an extended 1m3f at Haydock last month and shaped as though she can improve stepping up in trip, especially given she was disputing third inside the final furlong on that occasion. Others of interest include Sharp Distinction, who finished a fairly distant third over an extended 2m at York most recently, and the fellow distance-dropping Mukha Magic.

BUXTED REEL has dropped to 3 lb lower than when successful last August and there was enough in a recent run at Chester to think he might be ready to strike again. Baileys Khelstar, Sharp Distinction and Spit Spot are others to consider in an open affair.

Plenty to consider, headed by TRUE COURAGE, who ought to get this run to suit. Last year's winner Myboymax should go well too.

Finished behind a couple of today's rivals on his Catterick debut; needs more time.
LTO Selection:

15:45 Beverley Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

BAND OF JOY has scored in two from three career starts and she looks the one to beat here. Connor Planas negates most of her 7lb penalty for her latest success with his 5lb claim and she is fancied to get the better of Indication Spirit, who was a game winner at Musselburgh last month. Petra Celera is another last-time-out winner to bear in mind, albeit dropping in distance.

The trio of previous winners are partnered by apprentice riders with BAND OF JOY marginally preferred in favour of Petra Celera and Indication Spirit.

Two of these are bidding for a hat-trick, but the form shown by BAND OF JOY looks superior to that of Indication Spirit.

2-2 since being gelded and fitted with hood; made all in the Criterion last time.
LTO Selection:

16:00 Goodwood Group 2 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

KINROSS looks solid in here given he finished a neck second in the race 12 months ago and won it the year before that. A dual Group 1 winner last year and last seen finishing a close-up third in the July Cup at Newmarket, Ralph Beckett's charge ticks plenty of boxes and is expected to prove tough to beat. Isaac Shelby is another dropping down from Group 1 company, though, and he can put up a good fight getting 6lb from the selection following his fourth to Paddington in the St James's Palace Stakes. Criterion Stakes winner Audience adds further spice to the race.

KINROSS escapes a penalty for his Group 1 wins last time and should be a tough nut to crack under Frankie Dettori. Greenham-winner Isaac Shelby might be helped by the return to 7f and is second choice ahead of Audience, who had Pogo behind him when landing a Newmarket Group 3 last month.

Kinross holds strong claims but there are plausible alternatives at bigger odds, most notably ISAAC SHELBY and Indestructible.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

FILLYFUDGE recorded a comfortable success over course and distance 20 days ago, appearing to relish the return to further, and the lightly-raced four-year-old can continue her progression from this 5lb raised mark. Mc'ted returned to form when second over this trip at Pontefract last time and must be considered as a previous track-and-trip winner, while others to note include Corporate Raider and Flower Of Thunder.

FILLYFUDGE produced a career best when off the mark over C&D 3 weeks ago and looks the way to go again, Mc'ted is next best ahead of Corporate Raider.

Three-time late-summer C&D winner FLOWER OF THUNDER (nap) showed more latest and is preferred to recent C&D winner Fillyfudge.

Unexposed as a sprinter; latest C&D win not working out but she's still of some interest.
LTO Selection:

16:20 Beverley Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

IMPRESSOR has been progressive of late and kept on well to score over C&D last month. He defied a 7lb rise from his penultimate to last success, so a 5lb penalty may not be enough to stop him landing a hat-trick here. Hey Mr was only narrowly denied over this distance at Nottingham most recently and is feared most off 2lb higher, while fellow C&D winner Bella Kopella completes the shortlist, despite a 5lb raised mark for her last success.

This looks wide open and it may pay to take a chance on KING OF TONGA. He showed more encouraging signs from his easing mark at Catterick in June and, with blinkers back on following a wind op, it would come as no surprise to see him go well. Impressor is thriving and feared along with Hey Mr. 3-y-o Bella Kopella who scored herself over C&D last time is another in the mix.

Show Me Show Me and KING OF TONGA carry risks but both are well handicapped and a recent wind op could benefit the selection.

(6) Giavellotto 14/1, In receipt of 5 lb when proving ½ length too strong for Eldar Eldarov (Broome back in third) in the Yorkshire Cup at York (1¾m) in May. A bit more will be needed now stepping back up in trip.
Won the Yorkshire Cup when last seen; open to further progress; appealing type.

(3) Courage Mon Ami 2/1, Produced a remarkable performance for one so inexperienced when making it 4-4 in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot (2½m, good to firm) in June by ¾ length from the reopposing Coltrane. Could be capable of even better and can confirm his superiority over Andrew Balding's charge.

9th
9th (7) Lone Eagle (11/1 +8%)
Lone Eagle

(7) Lone Eagle 11/1, Irish Derby runner-up in 2021. His career has been a little disappointing since but he was second in a 1¾m Chester Group 3 for his new yard in May and it's likely that 2½m stretched his stamina in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. Should be fine at 2m.
Non-stayer (and shaped better than bare result) over 2m4f in Gold Cup; 2-3 at Goodwood.
10th
10th (8) Ocean Wind (66/1 -32%)

Signs of retaining ability at Sandown on return from long absence; this is harder.
11th

Faces a tough task on second Goodwood Cup attempt (down the field last year).
LTO Selection:

16:35 Goodwood Group 1 (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

COURAGE MON AMI maintained his unbeaten record when taking a massive step forward from a handicap success here to land the Gold Cup. That was only his fourth career start and, with the prospect of more improvement to come, it would be no surprise to see the son of Frankel prove too strong for the opposition. Coltrane gave the selection plenty to think about at Royal Ascot and arrives at the peak of his powers, while any rain will suit the fourth from that contest Emily Dickinson.

COURAGE MON AMI has the potential to be one of the best stayers of recent years after winning the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot on only his fourth career start. He had Coltrane and Emily Dickinson behind in second and fourth on that occasion and can confirm his superiority over that pair and stretch his unbeaten record to 5.

Gold Cup winner COURAGE MON AMI (nap) promises to dominate the staying scene for a long time. Coltrane is feared most.

More on the AW lately for the visor going on; this trip is an absolute minimum though.
LTO Selection:

16:45 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

The fitting of a visor has appeared to help the Adam West-trained CODSWALLOP, who arrives following two decent performances on the all-weather. He's now 8lb lower than his sole success, which came at Nottingham last June, and he wouldn't need much more to regain the winning sequence today. Calleveryoneuknow is relatively unexposed and she merits consideration from 2lb lower than when finishing a fair fourth over C&D last month. Habanero Star might not be far away either.

CODSWALLOP can race off the same mark as when a good recent Wolverhampton third so is taken to open his account for 2023. In-form maiden Shabs and C&D scorer Habanero Star both bring solid credentials to the table and can chase home Adam West's 4-y-o in that order.

Maybe CALLEVERYONEUKNOW, who has fewer convictions than most, will be up to the job dropped back in trip. Codswallop is next best.

LTO Selection:

16:55 Beverley Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Although POWDERING finished five lengths back in third over an extended mile at this track last month, she can take advantage of a a drop back in trip. She remains 2lb above her last winning mark, but still gets the vote from First Greyed, who kept on well for second over C&D most recently. Purple Martini and Clotherholme are others to consider.

Already twice a winner this season, PURPLE MARTINI quickly returned to form and was noted doing good late work when third at Chester 18 days ago. Operating from a 1 lb lower mark, she earns the vote to come out on top, with First Greyed and Powdering heading up the dangers. Girl From Italy is another to note having run her best race to date over this C&D.

Preference is for PURPLE MARTINI (nap) who won twice in the spring and whose latest third at Chester has been franked by the first two.

Fifth in this race last year; lacks recent match practice (absent for 347 days).
LTO Selection:

17:05 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

In a wide-open heat, only a tentative vote can go to GOOD GRACIOUS. The daughter of Kingman took a significant step forward when fitted with first-time blinkers, winning in good style at Ascot 18 days ago, and a subsequent 8lb rise might not halt further progress. The hat-trick seeking Rowayeh appeals as a likely player from 5lb higher than her handicap debut success at Sandown, while Bridestones and Royal Dress can also figure. Back See Daa and Novus are just two others to consider.

STORMY SEA proved a little disappointing in a York listed race when last seen in May but the manner of her Haydock victory previously is well worth remembering and, from a handy draw, she could well be up to bouncing back for the yard that took this race 12 months ago. The upwardly mobile Rowayeh rates a big threat in pursuit of the hat-trick for all her draw in 18 makes things tricky. Rajindri, Royal Dress and Novus complete the shortlist.

The vote goes to RAJINDRI, with Rowayeh second choice. Plenty of the others also have possibilities in a wide-open handicap.

LTO Selection:

17:10 Galway Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

An embarrassment of riches for Willie Mullins, saddling no less than four strong contenders in this quality affair. Paul Townend will be aboard French import Absurde, who won on his hurdling debut at Killarney before finishing second at Royal Ascot. He was behind a stable companion there and might have to settle for a similar faith now, with SPACE TOURIST the selection. Three from four since joining Mullins, she has impressed in recent starts and bids to complete a hat-trick, with Rachael Blackmore booked for the ride. Williamstowndancer and Arctic Fly are the other Closutton representatives, with the former also aiming for her third win in-a-row. Enfranchise was a fine seventh in Grade 3 company at Tipperary earlier this month and while yet to win over flights, she should give a good account of herself. Calico and Castra Vetera also warrant respect.

Smart Flat performer ABSURDE shaped well behind his thrown-in stablemate Vauban at Royal Ascot in June and is very much of interest now returned to hurdles. He can make it 2 from 2 in this sphere, with Williamstowndancer and Space Tourist fancied to fill the places and bring up 1-2-3 for Willie Mullins.

ABSURDE(nap) is a classy Flat type who won well on hurdling debut at Killarney and is the selected of Willie Mullins' four

LTO Selection:

17:20 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Twilight Jazz (winner) and Stintino Sunset (second) are closely matched based on their encounter at Leicester 12 days ago and are likely to be heavily involved. The first-named had a little in hand that day and appeals most from that duo. However, he has an additional furlong and another 4lb to shoulder today, so may be worth taking on with the well-handicapped COMPERE, whose proven stamina, combined with a competitive rating, earns him the vote in a weak race.

TWILIGHT JAZZ comes here on the up and a 4 lb rise for her recent all-the-way Leicester success doesn't look sufficient to prevent her from following up. Stintino Sunset chased home Mick Appleby's filly that day and again looks next best ahead of in-form maiden Imprint.

Up 4lb for her recent win, TWILIGHT JAZZ can confirm placings with Stintino Sunset. Available Angel is a player too.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

HEROS DE MOUTIERS made a promising start to his chasing career when filling the runner-up spot over 2m1f at Market Rasen last month. He has gone up 1lb for that run, which may not be enough to halt his progression here. King Of Quinta took a big step forward when second at Southwell most recently and he can give the selection plenty to think about, while Famoso is another to bear in mind.

HEROS DE MOUTIERS made an encouraging start to his chasing career after 5 months off when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Market Rasen and looks the one to beat off a similar mark. Jet of Dreams is worth another chance to confirm chase debut promise so is feared most ahead of King of Quinta.

This is wide open. JET OF DREAMS dropped out after a mistake last time at Stratford but the ability is there to win off this mark.

Easy winner of her last two starts; up in weights but dangerous to ignore in current form.
LTO Selection:

17:35 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

This could go the way of the hat-trick seeking KITAI, who kept on well to score by two and a half lengths over this distance at Pontefract last month. A 7lb rise may not be enough to hold her back here and she is taken to get the better of the grade-dropping Funny Story, who wasn't disgraced in Listed company at Ayr in June. Candle Of Hope also warrants consideration following a creditable run at Royal Ascot last time out.

KITAI arrives in a rich vein of form, and with conditions to suit is fancied to complete her hat-trick in the finale. The drop back to sprinting could suit Candle of Hope and she is feared most, whilst Executive Decision can also make her presence felt.

The thriving KITAI looks to have been found a good opportunity to complete her hat-trick. Candle Of Hope is next best.

LTO Selection:

17:40 Galway Maiden Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

At the age of 10, top-class hurdler SHARJAH is undoubtedly a late recruit to fences, but he still stands out a mile here and will prove hard to beat. The great Faugheen, for the same connections, had a similar profile when tackling racecourse fences for the first time at the age of 11, a move that ultimately proved very successful. A six-time winner at the highest level, the selection has reportedly 'schooled fantastically' and could yet add to his Grade 1 tally before the season is out. With a rating of 131, Mars Harper also stands out as the clear danger. He is without a win from seven starts over fences but has put in some fine efforts in defeat, finishing second in a Grade 2 at Punchestown in November. Walnut Beach has been running well of late and can challenge for minor honours.

A tremendous campaigner for connections, SHARJAH comes here on the back of a good second in a Grade 3 hurdle at Tipperary 26 days ago and this looks a good opportunity for Willie Mullins' veteran now his attentions switch to chasing. Mars Harper and Walnut Beach can do battle for minor honours.

It would be nonsensical to oppose the six-time Grade 1-winning hurdler SHARJAH, even though he is making his chasing debut.

LTO Selection:

17:55 Yarmouth Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

It took ENCHANTED NIGHT 32 starts to get off the mark but she finally secured a handicap with a commanding performance at Yarmouth last month. The mare then had a legitimate excuse (reared at the start) back at the same venue before she went close again at Nottingham 11 days ago. If anything, this is a weaker contest and she may hold too much fire-power for Tilsworth Ony Ta and Reckon I'm Hot, who appeal most from the rest.

ENCHANTED NIGHT scored here last month and was back on track when second at Nottingham 11 days ago, so she's worth a chance to go one better. Reckon I'm hot and Tilsworth Ony Ta also arrive on the back of creditable efforts.

Enchanted Night and Suanni are high on the list but SNOW BERRY might be worth chancing dropped to this level.

(9) My Gift To You 0.5/1, On first outing since leaving Paul Webber with tongue strap applied, he left previous form well behind when making a winning handicap debut at Southwell (20.4f) last week. Switches to fences and major player, even from out of the weights.
Impressive yard debut over hurdles (2m4f, good); just 4lb higher on chase debut.

Sinister Minister

7.5/1(-15%)
(6) Sinister Minister 7.5/1, Positive start to chase career when runner-up in a brace of C&D handicaps in June. Disappointing effort upped to 23f last time but expected to bounce back dropped in trip in a change of headgear.
Placed over hurdles and fences at 2m4f but beaten a long way out on latest.

Mixes hurdles/chases; taken healthy weights drop; worth a go with this lesser stamina test.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

My Gift To You remains unexposed and makes his chasing debut following a facile win over hurdles. The retained booking of Harry Cobden must make James Owen's inmate of significant interest, but LAMANVER STORM shades the vote.The eight-year-old kept on for second over a similar distance at Southwell last time out and shaped as though he would improve, given that was his first run off a break. Lonimoss Bareliere completes the shortlist.

MY GIFT TO YOU made a mockery of his lowly opening mark starting out for a new yard at Southwell a week ago and, assuming he takes to fences, the follow up looks firmly on the cards. Sinister Minister is fancied to get back on track returned to this C&D, with Lonimoss Bareliere a threat if seeing this trip out.

This can go to MY GIFT TO YOU who was impressive on his debut for this yard over hurdles and has a lowly mark to exploit over fences.

LTO Selection:

18:10 Galway Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

With three efforts to her name, GLOR TIRE is the most experienced filly in the line-up, a fact which should stand to her in this eight-runner affair. The Teofilo-bay appears to be improving with each start and ran her best race to date when second at Leopardstown on her most recent outing. She finished half a length ahead of Brilliant at the Foxrock venue and that one since gave the form a boost by winning on her next start. Mayfair and Tannola are the most interesting of the newcomers, with the Aidan O'Brien-trained former given second preference. Out of Group 1 winner Clemmie, she holds many big race entries. Tannola represents Dermot Weld, who won this race 12 months ago with the brilliant Tahiyra. The Awtaad is closely-related to a whole host of winners and it'll come as no surprise if she proves good enough to win this. Kalispera can build on a solid debut effort, while the Paddy Twomey-trained Purple Lily is another that warrants respect.

Lots of potential on show but Jim Bolder's progressive Teofilo filly GLOR TIRE sets a good standard on the form of her recent Leopardstown second so gets the vote. Aidan O'Brien's Justify newcomer Mayfair rates a big threat though while fellow debutantes Tannola and Purple Lily also need considering in an intriguing juvenile maiden.

Preference is for the well-bred newcomer MAYFAIR, representing a yard that does well in this race.

LTO Selection:

18:20 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

PARK ANNONCIADE shaped with promise over an extended 2m1f on his hurdling bow in June, where he weakened late on to fill the runner-up spot. Simon Crawford's charge ought to have learned plenty from that experience, though, and this looks a good opportunity to go one better down in trip. Ve Day appeals as his main danger, while market support for newcomer Gold Terms would be interesting.

PARK ANNONCIADE got his career firmly back on track sent hurdling when nabbed by a stronger stayer right at the death at Sligo in June and this is an excellent opportunity for him to go one better. Ve Day is the obvious one to follow him home.

VE Day ought to make a race of this but PARK ANNONCIADE is the one to beat, having run a big race in defeat on his hurdling debut.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

In a contest lacking depth, marginal preference is given to recent C&D runner-up ZORAN. Emma Lavelle's inmate has gone up 2lb for the aforementioned outing and is taken to get the better of Copper Fox, who was pulled up over an extended 2m1f at Cartmel last month. If I Say also warrants a market check following a distant third at Stratford.

ZORAN made a solid start to his chasing career when second over C&D last time and he's taken to go one better at the likely expense of If I Say, who was better than the result at Stratford last time. Oval Street is also worthy of consideration.

It could be that COPPER FOX didn't fancy the twists and turns of Cartmel last time having previously started well over fences.

LTO Selection:

18:40 Galway Handicap 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Unsurprisingly, Adrian McGuinness saddles a strong team as he bids to claim this valuable prize for the fourth time in five years. Just denied by half a length 12 months ago, Casanova is one of seven representatives for McGuinness and the Frankel gelding is sure to have plenty of supporters, with Cian MacRedmond claiming a valuable 5lb. The Co Dublin handler also saddles leading hopes in the shape of three-time course winner Current Option, recent Leopardstown victor Celtic Crown and top-weight Saltonstall, who is bidding to win this race for a third time. For a selection, it might be worth siding with DUNUM, despite the fact his excellent run of form came to an end at Royal Ascot. His previous seven starts yielded five wins and he might be able to bounce back to his best now. Alanya is of definite interest after her comfortable Ladies Derby success, while others for the shortlist in this extremely competitive affair are Blues Emperor, Salt Lake City, Rahmi, Joe Masseria and Soaring Monarch.

ALANYA belied unflattering odds when making a taking winning Irish debut at the Curragh a month ago and if there's a runner with the potential to be a lot better than their current mark, it's probably her. Blues Emperor also has a likeable profile and is a big threat, with Current Option perhaps the pick of the Adrian McGuinness septet.

This has been won by a horse with a double-digit draw six years in a row. SOARING MONARCH may continue this trend

LTO Selection:

18:50 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CHAMP DE GANE has yet to open his account after 15 starts, but the Kapgarde gelding has been running well over the larger obstacles recently. He sets the standard on official ratings and he could be hard to pass if running to form. Having been narrowly denied at Downpatrick last month, Bayonetta ought to be on the premises, along with dual point-to-point winner Dripsey Moon.

Perhaps this can be the day that CHAMP DE GANE, who returns to hurdles after a spell chasing. finally gets off the mark. John McConnell point recruit Dripsey Moon could be a dangerous opponent if the betting speaks in his favour. Downpatrick runner-up Bayonetta should also be on the premises.

Dripsey Moon won his last two points but CHAMP DE GANE sets a pretty good standard of rules form and gets the vote.

LTO Selection:

19:05 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Northern Bound has been running with credit over fences recently and could play a leading role from a reduced hurdles mark, but preference is for THE HEIGHT OF FAME. She bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot at Newton Abbot last month, so the daughter of Fame And Glory might be worth chancing from an unchanged mark. Astromachia is also noted.

A case can be made for a few of these but THE HEIGHT OF FAME made a promising return when runner-up at Newton Abbot and is taken to go one better off an unchanged mark. In-form top-weight Astromachia heads the list of dangers, with Jamie Snowden's pair College Oak and Sea The Clouds also in the mix.

Ben Pauling's NORTHERN BOUND is a much better chaser than hurdler but is rated accordingly and this isn't a strong handicap.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Galway Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

The well-bred NELDA is taken to reverse Naas form with Pier Pressure. There was just a short head between them at the Tipper Road venue, with the selection since finishing a respectable sixth in a Group 3 at Fairyhouse. Bought for E230,000 as a yearling, she might be able to take advantage of her favourable draw in four. The aforementioned Pier Pressure is drawn out in 10 and steps up in trip to 7f after being placed on his first two starts. There was plenty of market confidence behind the Kingman bay on both occasions and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to make the breakthrough now. Livio Milo is the other standout name in the line-up. A runner-up no less than four times, he would be a deserving winner, however he has a wide draw to overcome and is rated 8lb inferior to the selection. Caulaincourt and Brave Thought are others capable of making an impact.

PIER PRESSURE shaped well on his Naas reappearance 5 weeks ago and can build on that promise and get off the mark at the third attempt. Nelda wasn't beaten that far in a Group 3 last time and is second choice ahead of Dermot Weld's Livio Milo.

The well-related NELDA now has another run under her belt and may reverse Naas form with Pier Pressure

LTO Selection:

19:25 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Presentandcounting will be a threat to all if able to dominate from the front, but with Hidden Commander likely to press the pace it might be worth siding with GOLDEN TAIPAN. The largely consistent nine-year-old ought to get a good tow into the race and his recent C&D second would suggest he might be ready to record a fourth chase success.

GOLDEN TAIPAN returned to form here last time and is below his last winning mark. He can get back on the scoreboard. C&D winner Presentandcounting looks the obvious danger.

After looking stretched by a truly run 3m here last time, PRESENTANDCOUNTING can get back to winning ways over this shorter trip.

LTO Selection:

19:40 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

MILITARY TWO STEP won off a mark of 82 on the Flat last month, having achieved a peak rating of 90 previously. Recruited by the James Owen team later that month, she ought to mount a serious challenge if taking to this new discipline. She shades preference over Hard As Nails, who made a pleasing start when third, albeit well beaten, at Cartmel on her hurdling bow. Others to note include Our Nel and Come On Du Berlais.

HARD AS NAILS made an encouraging start in this sphere when third at Cartmel so is fancied to build on it and add to her two bumper successes. Hurdling newcomers Our Nel and Military Two Step both bring potential so appeal as the duo to give Fergal O'Brien's mare most to do and can chase her home in that order.

Hard As Nails may be the pick of those with hurdling experience but MILITARY TWO STEP is useful on the Flat and she gets the vote.

Solid runs in defeat in premier handicaps over 1m lately; this stiff 7f should suit.
LTO Selection:

19:50 Galway Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

IMPOSING SUPREME has a fine record at Ballybrit and is one of the safer options in this competitive affair. A three-time course winner, he caught the eye on his penultimate start at the Curragh, before registering a fifth career success at Bellewstown. Clearly in good spirits, the seven-year-old should be able to make his presence felt. Adrian McGuinness is again well represented, saddling four of the 16 set to take part. His Sirjack Thomas is given second preference, with this one successful in the feature race on the card back in 2021. He ended a long losing streak by winning at the Curragh in May and was a never nearer sixth in the Nasrullah Handicap on his most recent start. Laughifuwant is a dual course and distance winner and warrants respect with Colin Keane aboard, all of 20lb lower than his most recent winning mark. Gambe Veloci is of definite interest on what will be just his third start in handicap company, while others of note are Pinar Del Rio and Kodiac Prince, along with recent winners Bells On Her Toes and Eastern Wind.

Multiple course winner IMPOSING SUPREME bounced back to form when scoring at Bellewstown last month and remains feasibly treated. He can follow up. Plunkett and Eastern Wind head the list of dangers.

Runner-up at this meeting last year, BELLS ON HER TOES has been in fine form lately and can follow up her Naas win.

Five-time winner over C&D but has a bit to prove at present.
LTO Selection:

20:00 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Basford is respected given he arrives on the back of winning three of his last four starts. However, he has a 7lb penalty to contend with and may meet his match in the shape of ANIGHTINLAMBOURN, who won over fences at Cheltenham off 7lb higher last November. Ben Pauling's mare is well treated back over timber and may find more with the cheekpieces retained. C&D winner Dinoland completes the shortlist.

If DOUNE CASTLE is in the same form as when successful over C&D last time he might be able to defy a rise in the weights. The race Basford won at Southwell last week fell apart somewhat but he did it very easily and has to be respected under a 7 lb penalty. John McConnell's Dinoland may prove best of the rest.

Competitive in a marathon Flat handicap at Royal Ascot, THRONE HALL now attempts a staying trip for the first time over hurdles.

Placed in three handicaps this summer, latterly behind an improver over C&D; in the mix.
LTO Selection:

20:10 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

IZAYTE wasn't beaten far over this trip at Uttoxeter last time and, while this is a slight step up in class, he can gain compensation as the competition doesn't look much deeper. Neil King's gelding possibly paid the price for cutting out the running on that occasion, yet still deserves credit for a very game effort. Forget The Way is feared most on his third start after returning from wind surgery, although Choirmaster is another fancied to go well.

FORGET THE WAY improved when second at Southwell last time and, with few miles on the clock, he's fancied to open his account. The in-form Izayte is a clear threat and Cumhacht is likely to be on the premises.

Several frustrating possibles but IZAYTE (nap) has managed to put his head in front in a handicap and he can do so again.

LTO Selection:

20:20 Galway Handicap 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Dropped 6lb for his latest effort at Roscommon, SAFARI QUEST is an interesting contender off a revised mark of 70. Previously trained by Ger Lyons and successful at Gowran in September of 2021, he returned to action in March, making his debut for Tony Martin after a lengthy layoff. While he has shown very little in recent starts, he is capable of making his presence felt if returning to his best, with Ben Coen a positive jockey booking. Khafaaq has been in fine form of late and is sure to have plenty of supporters, as he bids to win for a third time this season. A nine-time winner in the UK, Gometra Ginty starts off for Denis Hogan and with Kyle McHugh claiming a valuable 10lb, she should give a good account of herself. A case can be made for many others in this wide-open contest, with Complete Fiction, Dabana, Arch Enemy and Desert Wind all leading contenders.

STARTING MONDAY was quickly back to form when sixth at Killarney last time and would have finished closer with a clear run, so he's worth a chance to land this for all that he'll need a bit of luck from a wide draw. Khafaaq and Complete Fiction look the main dangers.

A handicap only in name with just 3lb separating top from bottom. DABANA should be spot-on for this after a recent run at Leopardstown

LTO Selection:

20:30 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

SWORD OF FATE sets the standard on the back of his C&D second to subsequent Summer Plate winner Born Famous last month and, while he was well held by that rival, he faces nothing of that calibre in here and could be hard to beat. Sea Prince goes well at this course and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Lough Carra is open to improvement over fences.

SWORD OF FATE is back in a lower grade than in recent starts and can record another course victory. Lough Carra may provide the chief threat, whilst the consistent Izzy's Champion is likely to be in the mix once more.

He's not very consistent but SWORD OF FATE often runs well in stronger races than this and has a good opportunity here.

Safely held over 2m4f here 12 days ago; tries a new trip today; 5lb out of the weights.
LTO Selection:

20:45 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

RUBYS REWARD had plenty in hand when she won over C&D last month and is fancied to be hard to beat, despite a 7lb higher mark. If anything, this looks an easier assignment for Debra Hamer's mare and it would come as no surprise to see her take the challenge in her stride. Valentine Getaway and Cluain Aodha are others with the ability to make the frame at least.

RUBYS REWARD found improvement to score in ready fashion over C&D 22 days ago and she makes most appeal in the follow-up bid. Cluain Aodha is a danger back from a short break and Dynamic Kate can't be ruled out.

Dual C&D winner SHEILA NASH returned to form with a good effort here last month and remains on a good mark.

Cave Court

4.5/1(+68%)
(1) Cave Court 4.5/1, Still looking for first success and was never involved over a longer trip on chase debut at Downpatrick when last seen in May. Returns to hurdling now.
Good second on handicap debut in December but disappointing since.
2
2nd (6) Pateen (4.5/1 +31%)
Pateen

4.5/1(+31%)
(6) Pateen 4.5/1, Resumed winning ways at Hexham (16.2f) in May and far from disgraced when fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good, 12/1) last month. 1lb lower now and not discounted.
Not getting any younger but ran okay last month and has each-way claims here.

3rd (2) Littel Flour (12/1 -100%)
Littel Flour

12/1(-100%)
(2) Littel Flour 12/1, Unable to score in 14 attempts in Ireland but posted respectable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) last time and is worth a second look in market on debut for new yard.
0-11 over hurdles in Ireland but her Tipperary third in May gives her claims.

4th (4) Love Mystery (12/1 -433%)
Love Mystery

12/1(-433%)
(4) Love Mystery 12/1, Fair maiden on Flat who offered more in this sphere when third of 8 in novice at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft, 66/1) 28 days ago, not knocked about. Merits consideration on switch to handicapping.
Improved form when third in Stratford maiden last month; handicap debut today.
5th
5th (8) Jack Yeats (8/1 +11%)
Jack Yeats

8/1(+11%)
(8) Jack Yeats 8/1, Modest strike rate on the Flat and winless following 16 attempts over hurdles. Continues to drop down the weights without threatening to take advantage.
Ran okay behind Pateen at Hexham in May but only win was gained on the Flat in 2019.
6th
6th (3) Wasdell Dundalk (25/1 -56%)
Wasdell Dundalk

25/1(-56%)
(3) Wasdell Dundalk 25/1, Landed 2m handicap chase for Jonjo O'Neill at Ffos Las last June but well below par since, including in 3 starts for new yard of late. Best watched at present.
Hasn't fired on any of three starts for new stable this year; needs to turn a corner.
7th
7th (7) Prospect House (6/1 +25%)
Prospect House

6/1(+25%)
(7) Prospect House 6/1, Bettered previous form when second in Market Rasen handicap hurdle (16.6f, good, 7/1) in May but failed to repeat that over same C&D last time. Others more appealing.
0-6 over hurdles but has claims if judged on Market Rasen second two starts ago.
8th
8th (5) Just Dottie (2/1 +43%)
Just Dottie

2/1(+43%)
(5) Just Dottie 2/1, Offered little in bumper/on Flat but has found her feet over hurdles for current stable, overcoming a slipping saddle when scoring over C&D in May. Back on track when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good, 9/2) latest and likely to make presence felt again.
Won in pretty good style over C&D in May and has remained in good form; respected.
LTO Selection:

21:00 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

JUST DOTTIE, who won a handicap hurdle against her own sex off 5lb lower here in May, has a lot going for her in this company and her proven liking for this circuit could be a crucial factor. A good tempo will ideally suit the selection but, with no obvious pace angle, she is versatile enough to make the running. Love Mystery has scope to improve in this discipline and is feared most, while recent Hexham winner Pateen also commands respect.

There should be more to come from LOVE MYSTERY over hurdles and he is fancied to make a successful handicap debut. Just Dottie and Pateen rate the principal dangers.

C&D winner JUST DOTTIE (nap) returns here after a good third at Market Rasen in June and is probably still on a workable mark.

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.
