13:50 Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) 12f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (10) (25/1 -39%) The Goat	25/1(-39%)	(10) The Goat 25/1, Cracksman colt who surpassed previous form granted the run of things when third in 5-runner Kempton novice (11f) 21 days ago, headed 2f out and keeping on. Stamina drawn out a little more now handicapping. 1m4f may well help but he needs to build markedly on his maiden/novice efforts.
2 2nd (6) (2.5/1 -11%) Amleto	2.5/1(-11%)	(6) Amleto 2.5/1, Brother to high-class 1¼m-1½m winner Sea of Class who has progressed with each start to date, off the mark on return (gelded in interim) in a Chester maiden (10.3f, heavy) back in May. Did that readily and highly likely there's more to come now handicapping up in trip. Brother to 1m4f Group 1 winner Sea Of Class; won well in Chester maiden (10.3f, soft) May.
3 3rd (5) (5/1 +29%) Fox Journey	5/1(+29%)	(5) Fox Journey 5/1, Showed ability all 3 starts at 2 yrs and boasts 2 wins from 4 starts this campaign, staying on to lead final 100 yds for the latest at Newbury (12f) last month. Attitude looks an asset and unlikely he's finished improving yet. Won at Newbury (1m4f, good; favourite) 12 days ago; raised 5lb but may have more to give.
4 4th (4) (9/1 +25%) Tony Montana	9/1(+25%)	(4) Tony Montana 9/1, 425,000 gns Kingman colt who didn't need to improve when opening his account in a Newbury novice (10f) 3 weeks ago, going clear over 1f out. Plenty of stamina on dam's side to think he's worth a crack at this sort of trip now attentions switch to handicaps. Won comfortably from the front when 8-13 in novice at Newbury (1m2f, good) on latest start.
5th 5th (3) (3.5/1 +36%) Westerton	3.5/1(+36%)	(3) Westerton 3.5/1, Cemented positive start in handicaps when off the mark in a Sandown maiden (10f) on penultimate start in June and he took another step forward when third in a competitive Newmarket handicap (10f) 19 days ago, staying on gradually. Unexposed at this sort of trip and well worth considering. Third from off pace in hot 1m2f handicap at Newmarket, suggesting 1m4f is well worth a go.
6th 6th (2) (10/1 -25%) Struth	10/1(-25%)	(2) Struth 10/1, Kicked off the campaign with success at Chester (12.3f, heavy) in May and made the frame on 3 of his 4 starts since, albeit not entirely convincing off the bridle having travelled best when third at Ascot (12f) last month. Still, easy ground will hold no fears and not out of things. Effective at 1m4f-1m6f, including on soft; needs a bit extra but a serious each-way player.
7th 7th (1) (11/1 -22%) Tagabawa	11/1(-22%)	(1) Tagabawa 11/1, Gelded following promising 2-y-o campaign and duly landed a 4-runner Kempton handicap on return in April. Shaped well when sixth in Royal Ascot handicap next time but not in quite the same form at Newmarket (10f) since. Steps back up in trip now. Sixth and seventh in hot 1m4f/1m2f handicaps at Royal Ascot and Newmarket.
8th 8th (12) (50/1 +24%) Cool Party	50/1(+24%)	(12) Cool Party 50/1, Progressive dual winner at around 1m as a juvenile. Yet to kick on in handful of starts this term, not making himself of any real short-term interest when third in 5-runner Sandown handicap (14f) 6 days ago. Connections opt for a first-time visor now. Pretty disappointing this term; gelded before latest start, in cheekpieces; now visored.
9th 9th (7) (33/1 -18%) Inquiring Minds	33/1(-18%)	(7) Inquiring Minds 33/1, All-weather maiden winner (10f) on debut in May who seemed to find Lingfield Derby Trial too much later that month. However, has shaped as if his opening mark is fair since, midfield in competitive 19-runner Royal Ascot handicap (12f) without being given a hard time. Remains with potential. Well beaten in 1m4f h'cap at Royal Ascot, not having excuse of racing close to strong pace.
10th 10th (8) (12/1 +25%) Clan Chieftain	12/1(+25%)	(8) Clan Chieftain 12/1, Stepped up greatly on his debut effort last year when landing a Chepstow maiden (10f) in June, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Not in same groove at Newmarket later last month but very much the type to do better still in handicaps following wind op for his in-form yard. Grabbed a 1m2f maiden win in June; had wind surgery after a flop last time; 1m4f can suit.
11th 11th (9) (16/1 -33%) French Invasion	16/1(-33%)	(9) French Invasion 16/1, Well-bred colt who was a taking winner on debut at Kempton (12f) in January before following up under a penalty at Lingfield a month later. Possibly not 100% when third on handicap debut at Southwell (11f) thereafter (hung badly left 2f out) but he remains a bright prospect back from a break. This half-brother to smart Raheen House was a work in progress in February when last seen.

LTO Selection:

13:50 Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

AMLETO proved a ready winner of a Chester maiden in May and, with the second subsequently going close in handicap company, William Haggas' gelding could be well treated debuting in this sphere. Westerton has shaped as if he would be suited by this stiffer test and isn't taken lightly. The son of Belardo could emerge as the chief threat to the selection, ahead of Struth and Tagabawa, who have both performed with credit at this level.

A strong staying handicap for 3-y-os with a host arriving with claims including FOX JOURNEY. He showed a likeable attitude as he doubled his career tally over this trip at Newbury 12 days ago and he could be up to taking another step forward from this 5 lb higher mark. Westerton, stepping up in trip, and low-mileage Amleto are others to consider, whilst Clan Chieftain could also get back on track following a wind op now making his handicap debut.

Amleto and Clan Chieftain are unexposed but WESTERTON and Struth, two more experienced candidates, are preferred.

14:00 Redcar Stakes (Class 4) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(3) (0.91/1 +48%) Classy Boy	0.91/1(+48%)	(3) Classy Boy 0.91/1, Promising individual. 17/2, third of 12 in maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. Stable's 2yos are thriving and he's open to improvement, so worth chancing. Finished his Doncaster race on the front foot and he should build on that.
(2) (3.33/1 -67%) Angel Of England	3.33/1(-67%)	(2) Angel Of England 3.33/1, Promising sort. Second of 10 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 2/1) 28 days ago, just failing. Likely to do better still, so should be on the premises. Well backed last time at Thirsk (6f, good/firm) and pushed a penalised winner all the way.
(1) (5.5/1 -83%) Ambushed	5.5/1(-83%)	(1) Ambushed 5.5/1, 15/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, won 8-runner minor event at Newcastle (6f) 34 days ago, battling well. May do better still and merits plenty of respect. Dug deep to beat a subsequent winner at Newcastle; has the penalty.
(4) (14/1 -17%) Cuban Storm	14/1(-17%)	(4) Cuban Storm 14/1, Foaled February 16. 11,000 gns foal, 55,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey colt. Half-brother to 8.6f winner Hot Day and winner up to 7f Sisters In The Sky. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner. Not a forlorn hope on debut. 55,000gns yearling; the dam was quick and he's an interesting newcomer.
(5) (25/1 +11%) Mist Rollin In	25/1(+11%)	(5) Mist Rollin In 25/1, Foaled April 9. €20,000 yearling, 20,000 gns 2-y-o, Ten Sovereigns colt. Half-brother to 6f-1m winner Wild Acclaim. Dam, winner up to 7.4f (2-y-o 6f winner). Worth a market check. 20,000gns 2yo; seventh foal; half-brother to 6f-1m winner Wild Acclaim (inc Italy; RPR 71).
(6) (50/1 -79%) The Man From Loule	50/1(-79%)	(6) The Man From Loule 50/1, Foaled March 13. Twilight Son gelding. Closely related to 5f winner Kinloch Pride and half-brother to 3 winners, including 5f winner Pavers Pride and 7f winner The Name's Paver. Makes some appeal on paper. Ninth foal; closely related to 5f winner Kinloch Pride (RPR 73); has been gelded.
(10) (80/1 -60%) The Hat Lady	80/1(-60%)	(10) The Hat Lady 80/1, Foaled January 21. Mondialiste filly. Half-sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Cohesion and 7f-1¼m winner Marmot. Likely to need more time and distance. Half-sister to winners Cohesion (1m2f-1m4f; RPR 109) and Marmot (7f-1m2f; 83).
(7) (100/1 -257%) This Years Love	100/1(-257%)	(7) This Years Love 100/1, Foaled March 7. 17,000 gns yearling, resold 21,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold gelding. Dam 1m/8.3f winner. Likely to need this initial experience. 21,000gns yearling; second foal; half-brother to 2m1f hurdle winner Black Kraken.
(8) (125/1 -150%) Emilshaan	125/1(-150%)	(8) Emilshaan 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at Haydock (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Hard to fancy. Down the field in both her runs and looks one for nurseries.

LTO Selection:

14:00 Redcar Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ANGEL OF ENGLAND offered much more encouragement when denied by a neck at Thirsk last month and a similar level of performance may be enough for Edward Bethell's colt to shed his maiden tag here. Classy Boy wasn't disgraced on his debut when third at Doncaster and, with improvement forthcoming, he also makes some appeal. Last-time-out novice winner Ambushed can't be overlooked despite carrying a penalty.

CLASSY BOY shaped well on debut and should be able to find enough improvement to become the latest juvenile winner for a stable that's flying. Angel of England also has potential and looks the main danger, while Ambushed is worthy of respect as the only previous winner in the field.

If Ambushed is vulnerable under a penalty then it's CLASSY BOY or Angel Of England who are likely to take advantage.

14:10 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(1) (2.5/1 +69%) Idilico	2.5/1(+69%)	(1) Idilico 2.5/1, Won over C&D from this mark last September and arrives on back of a couple of solid efforts on level at Musselburgh in recent months. Respected.
(11) (5/1 -50%) Champagne Gift	5/1(-50%)	(11) Champagne Gift 5/1, Presenting gelding who showed benefit of reappearance run when fourth dropped back to this sort of trip at Worcester (20f) 4 weeks ago. Tongue tie added to cheekpieces and he's not out of things.
(10) (5/1 -43%) Nastasiya	5/1(-43%)	(10) Nastasiya 5/1, Remains without a win but she has returned from 8 months off in good nick, again filling the frame in handicap at Market Rasen (20.6f) 24 days ago. Has to be worth a second look from unchanged mark.
(3) (5/1 +38%) What Will Be	5/1(+38%)	(3) What Will Be 5/1, Hurdles winner who added to his tally on the Flat at Chelmsford (14f) in April. Has shaped as if still in good form under both codes since, not sustain effort when 9 lengths fourth in 8-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (15.7f) 3 weeks ago. Forecast better ground a plus back up in trip.
(8) (8/1 +0%) Prince Nino	8/1(+0%)	(8) Prince Nino 8/1, Modest hurdler who could only run to a similar level as previously for new yard when third of 7 in maiden hurdle at Cartmel (22f) 33 days ago, struggling between last 2 and plugging on. Returns to handicaps from career-low mark if that run has brought him on.
(6) (8.5/1 -70%) Bergentown	8.5/1(-70%)	(6) Bergentown 8.5/1, Little worthwhile form in 16 starts over hurdles in Ireland but left those efforts well behind on first start for this yard when scoring at Bangor (19.6f, good) in June. Could only manage eighth at Hexham (16.2f) thereafter and steps back up in trip now.
(5) (12/1 -71%) Fathers Advice	12/1(-71%)	(5) Fathers Advice 12/1, Maiden who filled runners-up spot in handicaps at Ayr/Newcastle in March (both at 2m). Subsequent efforts at this venue have been underwhelming but he is effective at this sort of trip and handicapper has relinquished his grip further if he can bounce back.
(4) (20/1 -43%) Female Approach	20/1(-43%)	(4) Female Approach 20/1, Fair handicapper at best on the Flat and similar merit over hurdles in Ireland. Fairly low-key start in 2 hurdle starts for new yard, weakening quickly 4f out when pulled up at Southwell (24.2f) 30 days ago. Tongue tie fitted.
(7) (28/1 -12%) Turkey And Ham	28/1(-12%)	(7) Turkey And Ham 28/1, Has hinted at ability but looks on a stiff mark and finished well beaten on handicap bow at Hexham 2 months ago. Tongue strap back on.

LTO Selection:

14:10 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

In a contest lacking depth, a tentative vote is given to NASTASIYA, who arrives here following a fair third over a similar distance at Market Rasen last month. She kept on well during the closing stages on that occasion and can get the better of Champagne Gift, who sports a first-time tongue-tie following a fair fourth at Worcester most recently. Bergentown is another to take seriously.

NASTASIYA has returned from an 8-month absence in good form, again filling the frame when staying on for third at Market Rasen (20.6f) last month, and a repeat can see Rebecca Menzies' mare make a bold bid to shed the maiden tag. Champagne Gift and Idilico head up the dangers.

This might go to BERGENTOWN (nap), who appeared to have a bit left in the tank when winning under a confident ride on his stable debut.

14:25 Goodwood Group 3 (Class 1) 7f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(2) (4/1 +0%) Fast Response	4/1(+0%)	(2) Fast Response 4/1, Three-time 5f/6f winner on testing ground last autumn. Yet to score this term but she comes here on the back of a very good second of 10 to Holguin in 7f listed race at Chester 18 days ago. Can make her presence felt again. Seems best on soft or heavy going; in the mix of she gets her ground.
(8) (4/1 +47%) Breege	4/1(+47%)	(8) Breege 4/1, Smart filly who took her form up a level when an excellent second of 29 in Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Proven on soft ground too so this low-mileage filly is not taken lightly. Second of 29 from the back in the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm).
(7) (4.5/1 +50%) White Moonlight	4.5/1(+50%)	(7) White Moonlight 4.5/1, Arrives on the up and bidding for a hat-trick following 7f listed wins at Musselburgh and Chelmsford City this summer. This is tougher but she is proven on a soft surface and shouldn't be underestimated. Comfortable 7f Listed wins win at Musselburgh and Chelmsford (made all) on last two starts.
(13) (5.5/1 +45%) Matilda Picotte	5.5/1(+45%)	(13) Matilda Picotte 5.5/1, Useful Irish filly who came in a good third in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in May. Raced in unfavoured centre when fourth to Little Big Bear in Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock (6f, good to firm) last time and not to be underestimated. 6f on good to firm was her first disappointment; interesting on the earlier evidence.
(9) (7.5/1 +6%) Dream Of Love	7.5/1(+6%)	(9) Dream Of Love 7.5/1, Useful filly who backed up a good third in the German 1000 Guineas at Dusseldorf with a solid seventh of 29 under top weight in Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot. Possibilities. Short-headed by Mawj at Meydan (7f, soft) in January; has not built on that.
(6) (10/1 +55%) Sicilian Defense	10/1(+55%)	(6) Sicilian Defense 10/1, Useful French filly who landed Longchamp listed race in May before posting a creditable 3¾ lengths fourth in Prix de la Porte Maillot there month later. Has a turn of foot and needs considering. Free-going, strong-travelling sort who has sometimes looked better than the bare result.
(3) (16/1 +36%) Internationalangel	16/1(+36%)	(3) Internationalangel 16/1, Useful mare. Not disgraced when 3¼ lengths fifth of 7 to White Moonlight in listed race at Chelmsford City (7f) 24 days ago. It's now thirteen runs since her last win in 2022, however. Beaten a head when 66-1 in this race last year but this renewal seems to demand more.
(12) (18/1 +28%) Magical Sunset	18/1(+28%)	(12) Magical Sunset 18/1, Likeable type who comes here in good nick, close seventh of 11 to Mystic Pearl in listed race at Sandown (8f, good) 25 days ago. A winner in the mud so she's much respected. 4th to Olivia Maralda at Epsom; Listed run at Sandown last time was rather underwhelming.
(10) (22/1 +33%) Glenlaurel	22/1(+33%)	(10) Glenlaurel 22/1, Consistent sort who recorded a creditable 2¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Vetiver in listed race at Carlisle (7f, soft) 35 days ago. This demands a clear personal best, though. Listed events this campaign and twice a creditable fourth, but this is a much harder task.
(5) (22/1 +56%) Samedi Rien	22/1(+56%)	(5) Samedi Rien 22/1, Useful Spanish filly who arrives in good nick, second of 9 in minor event at Madrid (8f, good) 46 days ago. She has won on soft ground too and can't be dismissed. Trained in Spain; eight wins; needs form of a different order to trouble the best of these.
(11) (28/1 -27%) Juliet Sierra	28/1(-27%)	(11) Juliet Sierra 28/1, Fairly useful 6f juvenile winner who wasn't disgraced when 3¾ lengths eighth of 10 to Swingalong in Summer Stakes at York (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. This is no easy ask. Put in her place at York this season in a 1m Listed race and 6f Group 3.
(16) (40/1 -60%) Sydneyarms Chelsea	40/1(-60%)	(16) Sydneyarms Chelsea 40/1, Useful juvenile who landed Group 3 Prix Six Perfections at Deauville (7f) before signing off with a good fifth in Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket (7f). Off 10 months and this is no easy return. Hood on for 1st time. Won Deauville Gr 3 (7f, good to soft) as 2yo; hooded for this return; needs improvement.
(1) (66/1 -32%) American Kestrel	66/1(-32%)	(1) American Kestrel 66/1, Fairly useful filly. Off for 7 months since posting a creditable fifth in listed race at Longchamp (7f, heavy) on her sole run for Joseph O'Brien. Back with former yard now and no forlorn hope. Goes well in the mud but none of her form matches up to this task.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Goodwood Group 3 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

This could go the way of the hat-trick seeking WHITE MOONLIGHT, who steps up in grade following a comfortable success in Listed company on the all-weather last month. With the potential of more to come, she is fancied to get the better of Fast Response, who finished seven and a quarter lengths behind the selection at Musselburgh on her penultimate outing. Others of interest include Jumbly and Matilda Picotte, who both drop in grade from their latest runs.

JUMBLY has started out well for Joseph O'Brien and shaped as though this return to 7f would be ideal when a fading fourth over 1m in Royal Ascot's Duke of Cambridge Stakes so edges the vote. Breege heads the list of dangers on the back of her excellent Sandringham runner-up effort at the Royal meeting, with Jersey-fifth Olivia Maralda and hat-trick seeking White Moonlight also in the mix in a very competitive Group 3 event.

With Olivia Maralda having a bit more to prove on softer than good, BREEGE is the tip ahead of Fast Response and Jumbly.

14:35 Redcar Stakes (Class 4) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(6) (2/1 +33%) Land Lover	2/1(+33%)	(6) Land Lover 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in minor event at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft, 5/1) 23 days ago. Chance on pick of form. Beaten five times but has the best form; bit of a backward step the last time.
(7) (2.75/1 +21%) Salamanca Lad	2.75/1(+21%)	(7) Salamanca Lad 2.75/1, Once-raced maiden. 14/1, fourth of 9 in minor event at York (6f, good to firm) on debut 67 days ago. Should improve for that initial experience, so not completely dismissed. Gelded since a promising York debut and could easily take a notable step forward.
(2) (5.5/1 -22%) Bay Of Australia	5.5/1(-22%)	(2) Bay Of Australia 5.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. 3/1, fourth of 8 in minor event at Catterick (5f, good) 14 days ago. Shaped well on debut prior to that, so remains with potential. Similar sort of form (RPRs of 66 then 65) in novices at Ripon and Catterick; needs more.
(8) (6.5/1 +19%) Sweet Soul Music	6.5/1(+19%)	(8) Sweet Soul Music 6.5/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, fourth of 10 in maiden at Beverley (5f, soft) on debut 9 days ago, nearest finish. Should have more to offer. Encouraged throughout but stuck to his task at Beverley (5f, heavy); entitled to improve.
(4) (7/1 +42%) Inspiring Speeches	7/1(+42%)	(4) Inspiring Speeches 7/1, Foaled March 7. €47,000 yearling, Churchill colt. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 1m. Interesting newcomer. 47,000euros yearling; first foal; dam 6f 2yo winner (RPR 90); possibilities first time out.
(10) (20/1 -300%) Alice's Impact	20/1(-300%)	(10) Alice's Impact 20/1, Foaled April 30. Massaat filly. Sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Hectic and half-sister to 3 winners, including 1¼m winner Parawell and 7f winner Sophie B. Bred to have plenty of speed. Only filly in the field but interesting to see what the market makes of her.
(1) (28/1 -12%) Adaay With Michael	28/1(-12%)	(1) Adaay With Michael 28/1, Foaled January 17. 12,000 gns foal, Adaay gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner St Barths and 17f winner Havisham. Dam unraced. 12,000gns foal; already gelded and likely best watched.
(5) (33/1 +34%) King Of Cali	33/1(+34%)	(5) King Of Cali 33/1, Foaled April 28. €3,000 yearling, Belardo gelding. Half-brother to 5f-7f winner Sassoferrato and 6f/7f winner Approve The Dream. Dam of little account. 3,000euros yearling; has been gelded and would rather watch on debut.
(9) (50/1 -150%) Uwaittillplaytime	50/1(-150%)	(9) Uwaittillplaytime 50/1, Foaled April 19. £25,000 2-y-o, Kuroshio gelding. Brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Dontspoilasale and half-brother to 7f winner Lecale's Destiny. Dam 7f winner. Worth monitoring in the betting. £25,000 2yo; fifth foal; brother to 5f 2yo winner Dontspoilasale (RPR 86).

LTO Selection:

14:35 Redcar Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Land Lover arguably sets the standard on the pick of his efforts this campaign, although the colt was somewhat underwhelming when finishing fourth at Ayr last month. SALAMANCA LAD may well need to progress in order to capitalise in this contest, but Richard Fahey's gelding made eye-catching progress in the second half of his York debut, suggesting that a race of this nature could be within his grasp. Bay Of Australia and Sweet Soul Music complete the shortlist.

SWEET SOUL MUSIC caught the eye with his finishing effort when fourth at Beverley on debut 9 days ago and, if the race doesn't come too soon, he could improve enough to open his account. Land Lover has the best form on show but is more exposed than the selection.

Preference is for SALAMANCA LAD who has been gelded since showing plenty of promise at York in May.

14:45 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(4) (3/1 +40%) Dalileo	3/1(+40%)	(4) Dalileo 3/1, Sole success came at this track (2½m) in 2021 and he made frame on four of first 5 starts last year. Has found his feet for current yard, finding only one too good over C&D 17 days ago. Has to be of major interest. Ex-Irish; 1-22 over hurdles; good C&D second 17 days ago; one to consider.
(6) (4/1 +20%) Ultra Violet	4/1(+20%)	(6) Ultra Violet 4/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France. Not managed to get near that level over hurdles, although has been performing at a consistent level in this grade at the track of late. Maiden over hurdles; creditable runs over C&D on last four starts; each-way chance.
(7) (5.5/1 +0%) The Longest Day	5.5/1(+0%)	(7) The Longest Day 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who isn't straightforward, following a runner-up at Southwell in June with a reluctant display back there a month ago. 0-12 over hurdles; below par last time but has a chance on his C&D second in April.
(8) (6/1 +8%) Doors Breaker	6/1(+8%)	(8) Doors Breaker 6/1, Winner at Doncaster in February but only one real effort of note since, often failing to impress with his finishing effort. Fair 3rd at Haydock in April; wind op after and not so good since but could bounce back.
(1) (6.5/1 -63%) For Jim	6.5/1(-63%)	(1) For Jim 6.5/1, Uttoxeter winner from 9 lb higher last summer but ended the season badly out of sorts. Bit more like it back from a break when third returned to that venue in June and this represents a slight drop in class. Best run for a while when third at Uttoxeter last time; on a good mark and acts on soft.
(3) (9/1 +44%) Go Bob Go	9/1(+44%)	(3) Go Bob Go 9/1, Finally off the mark in 20.2f course handicap in September. Unseated rider then refused to race here last month so clearly very risky at present despite a confidence-boosting run on the level. 2m4f winner here but refused to race on latest hurdles outing (here); best watched.
(10) (12/1 +25%) Lusitanien	12/1(+25%)	(10) Lusitanien 12/1, Maiden who hasn't offered much encouragement at this venue on his last two starts and looks up against it again from just out of the wights. Not shown much since wind op and a break; 2lb wrong; others have stronger claims.
(2) (14/1 -100%) Petite Rhapsody	14/1(-100%)	(2) Petite Rhapsody 14/1, Seems a less complicated ride than in the past and gained just the second win of his career over 20.2f here in May. Quickly back into his shell since and now back up in trip. Two fair runs over C&D last summer and won over 2m4f here in May; not as good since.
(9) (28/1 -180%) Confelicity	28/1(-180%)	(9) Confelicity 28/1, Unplaced all 3 starts in Irish points and little impact so far over hurdles. Switch to handicaps and marked step up in trip may help her cause. Ex-Irish pointer; modest efforts so far; improvement likely up in trip on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

14:45 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up over C&D on his most recent run, a 2lb raised mark looks unlikely to stop DALILEO being in the mix and he could be the one to beat dropping in class. That performance was a step in the right direction and Lisa Harrison's inmate gets the vote from For Jim, who kept on for third over an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter in June. Ultra Violet completes the shortlist.

DALILEO is well handicapped on his Irish form and he produced his best effort for this yard when runner-up over C&D 17 days ago. He now looks primed to strike, possibly at the chief expense of For Jim and Ultra Violet.

Although not at his best recently DOORS BREAKER is back on a good mark and is taken to beat Dalileo and The Longest Day.

15:00 Goodwood Group 3 (Class 1) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(5) (2.25/1 +0%) Kylian	2.25/1(+0%)	(5) Kylian 2.25/1, Took another step forward to get off the mark in good style switched to all-weather at Newcastle in June and showed much improved form when following up in listed race at Sandown (5f, good) last month, settling matters quickly with a good turn of foot. Looks sure to be in the mix. Most impressive in a Sandown Listed race last time; major player if going on the ground.
(3) (2.25/1 +10%) Big Evs	2.25/1(+10%)	(3) Big Evs 2.25/1, Finished runner-up on debut at Redcar and took a significant step forward when a commanding 3 length winner of the listed Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 6 weeks ago. Has bags of natural speed and could well take plenty of catching. Clearcut winner of the Windsor Castle Stakes and that gives him leading form claims.
(7) (5.5/1 +45%) Purosangue	5.5/1(+45%)	(7) Purosangue 5.5/1, Bred for speed and duly made an impressive racecourse bow when making all in minor event at Haydock (5f, good to firm) in June. Matched rather than advanced that form when fifth in July Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago and he remains with potential. Looked good on 5f debut and racing keenly was no help when upped to 6f for a Group 2.
(8) (9/1 +36%) Shagraan	9/1(+36%)	(8) Shagraan 9/1, Sioux Nation colt who left debut form behind when winning Windsor novice in good style last month. Progressed again upped in grade when runner-up in listed race at Newbury (good) 12 days ago and fancied to keep on improving dropped to the minimum trip for the first time. Latest Listed defeat at Newbury hints at limitations in this company.
(1) (9/1 -100%) Baheer	9/1(-100%)	(1) Baheer 9/1, Mehmas colt who took knew a whole lot more than on debut and looked a useful sprinting 2-y-o when getting off the mark at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month. Yard won the last 2 renewals of this race and he looks the sort to go on improving. Highly regarded colt who impressed when off the mark at Newbury; dark one.
(2) (10/1 -18%) Barnwell Boy	10/1(-18%)	(2) Barnwell Boy 10/1, Early foal who quickened up in the style of a useful juvenile when making a decisive winning debut at this track (6f) in May. Best excused the run when well behind Big Evs in listed Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot next time and remains capable of better. Impressed here on debut (6f) and plenty went wrong in the Windsor Castle; respected.
(4) (16/1 +0%) Hackman	16/1(+0%)	(4) Hackman 16/1, Confirmed the promise of his debut to score at Chester in May and having shaped as if amiss when well held in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot in June, wasted no time getting back to form when placed in listed company for a second time at Sandown last month. Tongue tie on but this a huge ask. Comfortably held by Big Evs and Kylian on his last two runs; tongue-tie new.
(6) (50/1 +0%) Markakol	50/1(+0%)	(6) Markakol 50/1, Starspangledbanner colt who stepped up on his debut effort when winning 5f Newcastle novice in decisive fashion last month. Not up to the task in listed company at Newbury since, so likely to come up short in this company. Minor form claims at this level and probably has the worst of the draw.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Goodwood Group 3 (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Big Evs was an imposing winner of the Windsor Castle in June and it's difficult to envisage him being far away, but preference is for KYLIAN. A beaten favourite on his first two starts, the penny appeared to drop at Newcastle and he took another significant step forward when bolting up in the Dragon Stakes at Sandown. Purosangue weakened late on in the July Stakes at Newmarket but, down in both trip and grade, he's likely to go well. Baheer and Shagraan are far from out of this either.

BIG EVS landed the Windsor Castle with aplomb 6 weeks ago, and with that level of form enough to win most recent renewals of this contest, he's fancied to take this step up to pattern level in his stride and get the better of Kylian, who arrives chasing a hat-trick but may have to settle for silver on this occasion. Shagraan continues to go from strength-to-strength and now down at the minimum trip for the first time he can do battle with Barnwell Boy for third spot.

Royal Ascot winner BIG EVS could take some stopping armed with the rail draw, provided he copes with the ground conditions.

Form	Odds	Runs
(4) (2.25/1 +10%) Nibras Angel	2.25/1(+10%)	(4) Nibras Angel 2.25/1, Promising individual. 9/1, won 6-runner maiden at Lingfield (7f, firm) on debut 21 days ago, drawing right away. Will improve. Created good impression when emphatic winner of Lingfield maiden last month; respected.
(3) (2.75/1 +27%) Mother Mary	2.75/1(+27%)	(3) Mother Mary 2.75/1, Left the form of her debut third well behind when winning 9-runner novice at Salisbury (7f, soft, 4/1) 18 days ago. May do better again. Clearcut winner on soft ground at Salisbury last month; likely contender here.
(16) (6/1 +40%) Vixey	6/1(+40%)	(16) Vixey 6/1, Fair maiden. Has recorded 2 creditable runner-up efforts in 7f handicaps at Carlisle (soft) and Catterick (good to firm) this summer. Ought to be in the shake-up back in a novice. Second in two 7f handicaps this season but not favoured by the weights in this novice.
(2) (6.5/1 +7%) Moonspirit	6.5/1(+7%)	(2) Moonspirit 6.5/1, Promising sort. 9/2, won 10-runner maiden at Bath (1m, good) 21 days ago, bit in hand. Should have more to offer. Pushed-out winner at Bath (1m) last month, her second start; down in trip here; considered.
(12) (10/1 +29%) Streetzoffilly	10/1(+29%)	(12) Streetzoffilly 10/1, Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, second of 5 in novice at Haydock (1m, soft) 11 days ago. Down in trip. First two runs (1m1f/1m) were very respectable but others in this field look stronger.
(1) (12/1 +14%) Angel From Above	12/1(+14%)	(1) Angel From Above 12/1, Built on debut promise when winning 6f novice at Carlisle (soft) in June (final start for Keith Dalgleish). More needed under a penalty here. Improved to win six-runner Carlisle (6f) novice in June; further progress needed here.
(13) (16/1 -14%) Thunder Princess	16/1(-14%)	(13) Thunder Princess 16/1, £75,000 Night of Thunder filly. Dam 7f winner (including at 2 yrs) who stayed 1m out of half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Cheyenne Star. Betting should help guide to expectations. £75,000 yearling; first foal from a useful 7f/7.4f winner; market may guide.
(15) (28/1 +30%) Viscountess Renard	28/1(+30%)	(15) Viscountess Renard 28/1, Modest form in 2 runs this summer. Looks more one for handicaps after this. Made quite promising debut but second run was a backward step; others preferred.
(14) (40/1 +39%) Top Gun Tina	40/1(+39%)	(14) Top Gun Tina 40/1, Mondialiste filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m-1¼m winner Alfred Richardson and 6f winner Highjacked. Bred to have a future but possibly best watched this time. Half-sister to owner's useful handicapper Alfred Richardson; set tough task on debut.
(5) (50/1 -25%) Sky High Girl	50/1(-25%)	(5) Sky High Girl 50/1, 22/1, 5¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Angel From Above in novice at Carlisle (6f, soft) on debut 44 days ago. Up in trip. Respectable fourth of six behind Angel From Above at Carlisle (6f); improvement needed.
(6) (100/1 +0%) Clash Of The Ash	100/1(+0%)	(6) Clash Of The Ash 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in novice at Hamilton (8.3f, good, 50/1) 13 days ago. Shaped with some promise on debut but well beaten since; handicaps beckon.
(7) (100/1 +0%) English Wren	100/1(+0%)	(7) English Wren 100/1, 5,000 gns Cityscape filly. Dam, 5f/6f winner, closely related to useful winner up to 6f Englishman. Best watched on debut unless the betting suggests otherwise. 5,000gns yearling; out of a fair sprint winner; best watched on debut.

LTO Selection:

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

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

A competitive novice in which several warrant consideration, with NIBRAS ANGEL getting the nod. The Ismail Mohammed-trained filly ran out an impressive winner on her Lingfield debut last month and the third that day won a handicap off 77 next time. The selection may be able to defy a 7lb penalty here, while Gotta Show Me and last-time-out winners Mother Mary, Angel From Above and Moonspirit all enter calculations too.

NIBRAS ANGEL won in the style of a potentially useful filly on debut and can make it 2-2. Fellow previous winners Moonspirit and Mother Mary head the dangers along with Maremma and Vixey in an open race of its type.

Nibras Angel impressed on her debut but the likelihood of rain tips the scales in favour of soft-ground winner MOTHER MARY.

Form	Odds	Runs
(2) (3.33/1 +0%) Castletown	3.33/1(+0%)	(2) Castletown 3.33/1, Unreliable sort but he ended a long losing run in a change of headgear in 8-runner handicap chase over C&D (good) 27 days ago by 3½ lengths from So Be It. Needs to back it up now. Consistent; scored for 2nd time over fences in new headgear over C&D last time; claims.
(4) (3.33/1 +26%) Spark Of Madness	3.33/1(+26%)	(4) Spark Of Madness 3.33/1, Course winner who comes here on the back of a good fourth of 8 to Castletown in handicap chase at this C&D (good) 27 days ago. Can give another good account eased 1 lb. Two fair efforts over 3m including 4th to Castletown here last time; place chance.
(8) (4.5/1 +63%) Henry Brown	4.5/1(+63%)	(8) Henry Brown 4.5/1, Unreliable sort who turned in a laboured effort when second of 4 in handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f, good) 71 days ago. More is required from 1 lb out of the handicap. 1-23 over fences; has been in fair form this year; on a career-low mark; not out of this.
(6) (5/1 +0%) So Be It	5/1(+0%)	(6) So Be It 5/1, Still low mileage and he recorded a good second of 8 to Castletown in handicap chase over C&D (good) 27 days ago. Enjoys a 5 lb pull with that rival. Big shout. 0-12; creditable 2nd on last 2 starts, latest over C&D behind Castletown; contender.
(5) (8.5/1 -6%) Get With It	8.5/1(-6%)	(5) Get With It 8.5/1, Let down by her jumping when only sixth of 8 in handicap chase (13/2) at this C&D (good) 52 days ago. Took this event 12 months ago so can't be ruled out though. Two wins in 2022, one over C&D; not run up to his best this year but on last winning mark.
(3) (11/1 -83%) Ecossais	11/1(-83%)	(3) Ecossais 11/1, It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2021 and he came in only fifth of 7 on the back of a wind op in handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f, good) 17 days ago. Others appeal more. Fair form on last three starts including on first run back after wind op; place chance.
(7) (12/1 +14%) Dukehill	12/1(+14%)	(7) Dukehill 12/1, Point winner who offered some encouragement when fourth in hunter chase at Limerick on Rules debut back in December 2021. However, fit from points he offered little in a pair of chases in June. Looks to be up against it. Irish point winner; best run was when 4th in a hunter chase in 2021; not so good since.
(1) (33/1 -200%) Rust To Riches	33/1(-200%)	(1) Rust To Riches 33/1, Poor maiden on balance. Pulled up in novice chase (66/1) at Kilbeggan (25f, soft) 19 days ago. Tongue strap back on with work to do. Irish point winner; has been rather disappointing since fifth in a hunter chase in May.
(9) (50/1 -25%) Placedela Concorde	50/1(-25%)	(9) Placedela Concorde 50/1, It's now 29 runs since his last win in 2018. Remote last of 3 in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f, good, 12/1) 46 days ago. Very hard to make a case for. Last win was in 2018; well-beaten third back over fences last time; others appeal more.

LTO Selection:

15:20 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner over C&D last month, preference is for CASTLETOWN, who could prove tough to pass if anywhere near his recent form. Despite being the veteran in the field here, he should not be dismissed for powerful connections, even though he has gone up 5lb for the aforementioned success. So Be It finished in second behind the selection on that occasion and could get closer to him now 5lb better off, while Henry Brown is another to consider.

A few of these arrive with question marks against them but SO BE IT is knocking on the door and with few miles still on the clock he can gain his breakthrough win at the chief expense of in-form course scorer Spark of Madness. Last year's winner Get With It is another who can have a say.

Following a series of decent efforts, SO BE IT is taken to get off the mark by reversing recent C&D form with Castletown.

Form	Odds	Runs
(6) (0.44/1 +6%) Paddington	0.44/1(+6%)	(6) Paddington 0.44/1, Superbly campaigned and has developed into the leading 3-y-o, running out a decisive winner of the St James's Palace Stakes before edging out a high-class mare in Emily Upjohn taking on his elders for the first time in the Eclipse Stakes. Return to 1m no issue and he holds outstanding claims. Group 1 wins on last three starts and very tough to beat if his superstar form continues.
(4) (5/1 -25%) Inspiral	5/1(-25%)	(4) Inspiral 5/1, Very smart filly who cast aside a shock reversal in the Falmouth with a ready success in Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville last summer. Cracking reappearance when second in the Queen Anne, outpointed close home and this previous Goup 1 winner against the males is the obvious threat to Paddington. Highly creditable second in the Queen Anne and she's the obvious danger to Paddington.
(1) (7.5/1 +38%) Aldaary	7.5/1(+38%)	(1) Aldaary 7.5/1, Very smart handicapper in 2021, winning brace of big-field contests at Ascot. Listed winner sole start in 2022 but not in the same form both outings upon return in July and this no easy race to bounce back in. Group 2 runner-up recently on second start back from long absence; career best is needed.
(3) (11/1 +31%) Facteur Cheval	11/1(+31%)	(3) Facteur Cheval 11/1, Progressive 3-y-o, culminating with Group 3 Prix Perth success at Saint-Cloud. Ran right up to form all 3 starts this spring, third of 6 in a bunched finish tackling Group 1 company for the first time at Longchamp in May (9.2f). This asks another question. Solid Group-race form in France but looks vulnerable in this hot Group 1.
(5) (40/1 +39%) Charyn	40/1(+39%)	(5) Charyn 40/1, Smart colt who excelled himself when hitting the frame in the Irish Guineas and the St James's Palace Stakes, both won by Paddington. Made no impression dropped to 7f in the Prix Jean Prat at Deauville 3 weeks ago and while the return to 1m will suit, he's very likely to come up short. Has twice made the frame behind Paddington in Group 1s but without really threatening.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Goodwood Group 1 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

PADDINGTON has improved markedly this year as he started off in a Naas handicap off 97. A couple of starts later he was winning the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh and the Group 1 wins have just kept on coming, as he was awesome in the St James's Palace Stakes before showing his versatility to beat Emily Upjohn over 10 furlongs in the Coral-Eclipse. It is very difficult to get away from Aidan O'Brien's son of Siyouni and he's taken to have too much class for Queen Anne Stakes second Inspiral lining up in receipt of 4lb from the daughter of Frankel. Chindit might have a squeak if he can come back to his Lockinge form.

It's slightly surprising that Aidan O'Brien hasn't won this race since 2016 but in PADDINGTON he saddles a top-notch 3-y-o who is strongly fancied to complete a superb 6-timer in 2023. Inspiral is very smart in her own right and following an excellent reappearance run at Ascot she will hopefully ensure the selection is made to work for it.

Having won the Irish Guineas, St James's Palace Stakes and Eclipse, this seaon's Group 1-winning machine PADDINGTON is the one to beat.

Evens, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 4 days ago, well on top finish. Form choice. 7f AW novice winner in June and 2-2 in 1m2f handicaps since; well in here; obvious claims.
(2) (4.5/1 +44%) Freak Out	4.5/1(+44%)	(2) Freak Out 4.5/1, C&D winner. 7/1, won 7-runner handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 25 days ago, keeping on well. Hat-trick may prove beyond him. Bids for hat-trick after pair of Beverley wins this summer; this C&D also suits.
(4) (12/1 +45%) Beautifulasalways	12/1(+45%)	(4) Beautifulasalways 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. Plenty to find on form. Slightly disappointing on last month's handicap debut but still unexposed; back up in trip.

LTO Selection:

15:45 Redcar Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

It can be a dangerous policy taking on one of Sir Mark Prescott's three-year-olds when they find their stride in handicaps and the progressive TIFFANY is well fancied in her quest for a four-timer. The daughter of Farhh has shown versatility regarding surface and switching back to turf isn't expected to pose any issues on the back of Saturday's cosy Newcastle success. The hat-trick seeking Freak Out is an obvious danger, while the class-dropping Highwaygrey is also noted.

TIFFANY is an archetypal Sir Mark Prescott 3-y-o, improving again to complete the hat-trick at Newcastle on Saturday. and she'll take an awful lot of stopping off the same mark. Highwaygrey can place again along with the hat-trick seeking Freak Out.

The forecast rain is an imponderable for TIFFANY but she escapes a penalty for her fairly comfortable AW win on Saturday.

Remains unexposed over fences so he can't be ruled out. Back to form recently, winning on the Flat before good 2nd over fences at Cartmel; chance.
(7) (3.5/1 +36%) Check My Pulse	3.5/1(+36%)	(7) Check My Pulse 3.5/1, Got off the mark over fences at Carlisle (2m) in October. Caught the eye when fourth in 2m Hexham handicap chase last time, finishing strongly having been hampered on the home turn. Tongue tied. Big shout off an easing mark. Back on a good mark but not been in top form recently and further rain a negative.
(10) (4/1 +60%) Pittsburg	4/1(+60%)	(10) Pittsburg 4/1, Arrives on back of a creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Not discounted returned to this sphere. Fair 5th at Fakenham on last chase run; quite interesting unless the going turns soft..
(1) (6/1 -33%) Restandbethankful	6/1(-33%)	(1) Restandbethankful 6/1, Unreliable individual who finally got off the mark over fences at Market Rasen in June only to come in sixth of 9 there (19.2f, good) 24 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Won over 2m3f at Market Rasen in June; not so good next time; return to 2m could suit.
(8) (9/1 -80%) Konik King	9/1(-80%)	(8) Konik King 9/1, Went backwards from his chasing debut when seventh of 8 in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f, good) 46 days ago. Still low mileage so he's worth another chance. Ex-Irish; good third after wind op on stable debut in May; below par latest.
(5) (11/1 +21%) Ardera Cross	11/1(+21%)	(5) Ardera Cross 11/1, In good form until pulled up in handicap chase at Cartmel in the mud 11 days ago. Can bounce back. Two wins at Ayr in February; not quite as good since but back on a fair mark; acts on soft.

Can give a good account. 0-26 over jumps; fourth over 2m5f at Cartmel in June; significant rain a negative.

LTO Selection:

15:55 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

JACKHAMMER only found one too good in a similar event at Cartmel 11 days ago and a reproduction of that level of form would give him a big chance here, despite a 2lb rise. Restandbethankful disappointed last time but is a player based on his previous victory at Market Rasen, while Check My Pulse and Monoxide are others who make the shortlist.

A few with chances but CHECK MY PULSE really caught the eye when a fast-finishing fourth at Hexham last time and can capitalise on an easing mark. Irish-challenger Monoxide could emerge as the main danger, with Jackhammer and Pittsburg appealing as the pick of the rest in the fight for minor honours.

Having come back to form recently JACKHAMMER, who acts on any ground, is taken to beat Pittsburg.

Disappointed in listed company at York but resumed progress when sixth of 20 in Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury, second home in her group (behind the winner). Not taken lightly. Sixth of 20 in the Super Sprint at Newbury 11 days ago; needs marked improvement.

Justified market confidence in Ripon maiden 11 days ago, doing well to overcome both greenness and a troubled passage. Hard to know what that form is worth but she's sure to progress. £135,000 buy this April; overcame slow start to win debut at Ripon (5f, soft) 11 days ago.
(4) (5/1 -43%) Flora Of Bermuda	5/1(-43%)	(4) Flora Of Bermuda 5/1, Improved on debut when 1¼ lengths second in class 2 event at Beverley, her rider opting to weave way through the pack while the winner made her ground down the outside. First home on the far side when sixth of 26 in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot since and obvious claims down in class. First of eight in the far-side group when sixth of 26 overall in the Group 2 Queen Mary.
(7) (5.5/1 +27%) Juniper Berries	5.5/1(+27%)	(7) Juniper Berries 5.5/1, Impressive when making a winning start at Bath and posted a couple of positive efforts since, notably when fourth in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Bit disappointing in Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury since but big player if back to her best. First three starts read well but she cut out in the closing stages of the Super Sprint.
(6) (7.5/1 -7%) Indispensable	7.5/1(-7%)	(6) Indispensable 7.5/1, Put experience to good use when winning at Ripon in June. Pulled too hard in listed race at Newmarket but firmly back on track when close third in similar event at Naas last week, settling much better under a change of tactics (held up). Merits consideration. Narrowly beaten third of seven in Listed race at Naas (5f, soft) last Wednesday; player.
(3) (9/1 +10%) Dapperling	9/1(+10%)	(3) Dapperling 9/1, Gradually progressive and off the mark in straightforward fashion at Lingfield. Excellent second of 20 in Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury since, showing plenty of dash. Must be respected. Made most when 2nd of 20 at 33-1 in the Super Sprint at Newbury; needs further improvement.
(9) (10/1 +17%) Make It Easy	10/1(+17%)	(9) Make It Easy 10/1, Progressing well, off the mark at the third attempt in Catterick maiden 3 weeks ago, pulling clear of a subsequent winner. This much harder but she has more potential than most. Windsor 2nd was a serious step forward and winning smoothly at Catterick was another.
(13) (14/1 +13%) Ziggy's Dream	14/1(+13%)	(13) Ziggy's Dream 14/1, Knew her job when justifying support at Doncaster in April. Mixed record since but latest 3 lengths fifth of 8 in listed race at Tipperary was a decent effort. Bit to find here, however. Needs improvement; a return to soft ground is seemingly needed to boost hopes.
(10) (16/1 +0%) Princess Chizara	16/1(+0%)	(10) Princess Chizara 16/1, Defied big odds to win 4-runner maiden at Brighton (5.3f, firm) on debut, blitzing her rivals. Struggled in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot since but should make more of an impact here. Won Brighton debut; made the running on the far side when well beaten in the Queen Mary.
(11) (28/1 +0%) Thanksbutnothanks	28/1(+0%)	(11) Thanksbutnothanks 28/1, Promising first effort when runner-up in a Ascot maiden and didn't need to improve when going one better at Lingfield. However, found it tough upped in class since and she looks to be up against it once more. Fair 5f form on first three of four starts, including on soft on debut, but limitations.
(8) (33/1 +34%) Looby	33/1(+34%)	(8) Looby 33/1, Shaped quite a lot better than the bare result when fifth of 11 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to soft) on debut but went backwards at Newmarket since. Easy to look elsewhere. Might be improved by this drop to 5f but has modest form.

16:10 Goodwood Stakes (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

TROPICAL ISLAND justified strong market support when making a winning debut at Ripon and, open to any amount of improvement, she could take this step up in class in her stride. Dapperling must enter calculations following her massive effort when second in the Weatherbys Super Sprint, while Flora Of Bermuda also drops in grade following an honourable sixth in the Queen Mary. Juniper Berries was a fine fourth in that contest but could then only manage seventh in the Super Sprint.

An excellent race of its type with 11 previous winners in the field. FLORA OF BERMUDA emerged with plenty of credit to finish first home on the far side when sixth of 26 in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot so earns the vote. Dapperling had a few of these in behind when an excellent second in the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury so must be respected, while Make It Easy and Tropical Island both have potential for better.

The prospect of testing ground sways the vote in favour of INDISPENSABLE who raised her game in an Irish Listed race on soft.

Form	Odds	Runs
(4) (1.88/1 +44%) Liberty Lane	1.88/1(+44%)	(4) Liberty Lane 1.88/1, Impressive winner of sole start at 2. Useful efforts in defeat this year, proving suited by the drop back to 1m when fourth of 12 in Newmarket handicap 11 days ago. Tends to race freely but there could still be a bigger performance in him. Good fourth at Newmarket last month, his second handicap, and may still have potential.
(5) (4.5/1 -13%) Pisanello	4.5/1(-13%)	(5) Pisanello 4.5/1, Second Hamilton win of the year when edging ahead in the dying strides on soft ground 18 days ago. A 3 lb nudge is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing. Up to career-high mark after recent Hamilton win but the forecast rain is in his favour.
(7) (5/1 +9%) Titian	5/1(+9%)	(7) Titian 5/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, good to firm, 9/1) 20 days ago. Consistent and likely to be competitive again. Well suited by a straight mile and versatile regarding ground; can make his presence felt.
(1) (6/1 +8%) Positive Impact	6/1(+8%)	(1) Positive Impact 6/1, Smart performance when a comfortable winner of a 1m Kempton handicap on his final 3-y-o start. Failed to fire in 2 outings in Dubai at the beginning of 2023 but contender if bouncing back to form after a break. Useful claimer takes a handy 5 lb off. Not seen since two underwhelming runs in UAE at start of year; others have less to prove.
(8) (7/1 +0%) Another Batt	7/1(+0%)	(8) Another Batt 7/1, Left his previous efforts this year behind when successful in a Class 4 at Ripon (1m, soft) 11 days ago. 4 lb rise isn't too severe but this is a better race. Won off reduced mark at Ripon recently but probably vulnerable to younger rivals here.
(3) (9/1 -13%) Koy Koy	9/1(-13%)	(3) Koy Koy 9/1, Useful and consistent last year. Easy to ignore his reappearance run in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (raced on unfavoured part of the track) and he merits respect back in calmer waters now. Well beaten at Royal Ascot on only start this year but current mark is workable.
(2) (28/1 -180%) Azano	28/1(-180%)	(2) Azano 28/1, This usual front-runner won a 7f listed race here in 2021 and also bagged a C&D handicap last year. Still useful on his day but he does need to shrug off a lesser run here last time. C&D winner off 2lb higher last summer but too inconsistent to rely upon.

LTO Selection:

16:20 Redcar Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

POSITIVE IMPACT has been given plenty of time to acclimatise after his short stint in Dubai earlier in the year, and is interesting introduced back into the fray at this time of year. He seems ideally suited by a mile and, with Connor Planas claiming 5lb, he has a live chance of making a winning return. Hamilton winner Pisanello is high on the shortlist off just 3lb higher, while Liberty Lane also enters calculations.

A useful handicap. LIBERTY LANE could do with learning to race more efficiently but there's still a feeling he could have a bigger performance in him and he's taken to see off his older rivals. Positive Impact struggled in Dubai at the start of the year but did well in Britain in 2022 and is second choice with Connor Planas taking 5 lb off his back. The likeable Pisanello should give it another good shot, while Koy Koy is fresh for this time of year and should find this easier than the Hunt Cup.

The one with most potential is the 3yo, LIBERTY LANE (nap), who kept on well for a creditable fourth at Newmarket recently.

Form	Odds	Runs
(2) (1.38/1 +31%) Garde Des Champs	1.38/1(+31%)	(2) Garde Des Champs 1.38/1, Knocking on the door and showed improved form to get off the mark in convincing fashion at this C&D (good) just under 6 weeks ago. Hiked up 10 lb for that success but conditional negates half that rise and this his first outing since leaving Keith Dalgleish. Wide-margin C&D winner on final start for Keith Dalgleish; 10lb rise asks a lot of him.
(5) (3.33/1 -11%) Well Planted	3.33/1(-11%)	(5) Well Planted 3.33/1, C&D winner last June and having trailed in last of 6 on the Flat at Musselburgh in June, ran creditably back over hurdles when runner-up over C&D last month (upsides last and held only late on). Can get involved nudged up 1 lb. Placed over C&D on last two hurdle starts; player if ground is no worse than good to soft.
(6) (5/1 -43%) Mcgowan's Pass	5/1(-43%)	(6) Mcgowan's Pass 5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2020 but arrives in good heart, not beaten far when third at Market Rasen (16.6f, soft) 11 days ago. Not getting any younger but could be ready to strike, so he needs considering. No win since 2020 but consistent since the winter and rain will aid his cause.
(1) (5/1 +44%) Cirque Royal	5/1(+44%)	(1) Cirque Royal 5/1, Irish raider who scored in a maiden hurdle over C&D in May 2022. Well beaten on his last 3 starts (including on the Flat), though possibly needed the outing after 9 months off at Downpatrick in June. Sent off favourite for last year's Summer Hurdle, so he's not discounted. Made low-key seasonal debut in June but has claims on last year's novice form.
(3) (12/1 -33%) Willyouwalkwithme	12/1(-33%)	(3) Willyouwalkwithme 12/1, In good form prior to below-par sixth at Sligo last month. Has since left Harry Smyth and market support should be noted on his first start across the Irish Sea. Not at best last time but was in good form in the spring and has a fighting chance here.
(4) (14/1 -100%) Harel Du Marais	14/1(-100%)	(4) Harel Du Marais 14/1, Has had several chances but remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs. Dropped back to 2m for this handicap debut but others look stronger on the face of it. Didn't run badly in Downpatrick maiden in June but will need to up his game here.
(7) (50/1 -25%) Frightened Rabbit	50/1(-25%)	(7) Frightened Rabbit 50/1, Capitalised on a falling mark in re-fitted cheekpieces at Hexham in May 2022 but well beaten on all 3 subsequent outings. Returns after 11 months off for a new yard and percentage call is to look elsewhere. Six-time winner over hurdles but out of form when last seen last summer; stable debut.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

GARDE DES CHAMPS was an impressive 11-length winner over C&D when last seen in June and the seven-year-old is hard to oppose on the back of that performance. Well Planted also ran well over this track and trip on his most recent outing, finishing second a month ago, and he could prove to be the main threat. That said, Mcgowan's Pass and Harel Du Marais could also go well.

Garde des Champs is sure to be popular after his recent breakthrough success over C&D but he may have to play second fiddle to veteran MCGOWAN'S PASS, who hasn't won for a long time but deserves plenty of credit for consistency and signalled he could be ready to strike when going close at Market Rasen 11 days ago. Well Planted and Cirque Royal can battle out third spot.

Confidence in WELL PLANTED will waver if there is significant rain but he ran well over C&D last month and is still on a workable mark.

16:45 Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) 10f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(6) (1.75/1 +47%) La Isla Mujeres	1.75/1(+47%)	(6) La Isla Mujeres 1.75/1, Off the mark at Kempton (11f) in June and improved further when following up in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f) 18 days ago, leading again over 2f out and forging clear. Not taken lightly with any rain in her favour. Huge improver over her four races; on hat-trick after dominating at Salisbury (1m2f, soft).
(10) (6/1 +0%) Decoration	6/1(+0%)	(10) Decoration 6/1, Has improved with each start, getting off the mark at the third atttempt in a Windsor maiden (10f) with Value Added in second. Beaten only by another progessive type at the same C&D on handicap debut 9 days ago, so she can resume winning ways with more still to offer. Ridden prominently and tenacious when pipped on handicap debut; may well have more to give.
(4) (6/1 +29%) There's The Door	6/1(+29%)	(4) There's The Door 6/1, Stepped up on her juvenile form when readily landing a Doncaster handicap (10.2f) in April and confirmed her effectiveness on testing ground when second in Cheshire Oaks (11.3f) next time. Ran creditably back in handicap company 19 day ago, but will need to find more again. Running well on soft and good to soft; each-way chance if the ground is similarly testing.
(3) (9/1 +25%) Persist	9/1(+25%)	(3) Persist 9/1, Won twice last season, with her second success in handicap at Haydock (10.2f) in September. Form of her sixth at Newmarket next time working out well, but after 9 months off she was typically slowly away when below form at Newcastle a month ago. Needs to step forward from her return. Tends to be slowly away and overdid it both on final start last term and first this season.
(8) (9/1 +36%) Value Added	9/1(+36%)	(8) Value Added 9/1, Runner-up to Decoration at Windsor before going one better in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 22 days ago, having the run of the race when seeing off the challenge of Queen Regent. May do better still, but has the widest draw to overcome. Held on from the promising Queen Regent in novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last time.
(11) (10/1 +0%) Therapist	10/1(+0%)	(11) Therapist 10/1, Switched to handicap company, showed improved form when gaining a first success at Newmarket (10f) in July. Shaped well upped in grade when third at the same C&D 12 days ago, edged out only late on by a pair ridden more patiently. Can give another good account. Travelled up best but edged out close home in a four-way finish at Newmarket off same mark.
(12) (10/1 +29%) Never Ending	10/1(+29%)	(12) Never Ending 10/1, Built on the promise of her first 2 starts when winning minor event at this course (1m) in June, despite still looking green under pressure. However, unable to find any further progress when fifth of 7 on handicap debut at Newmarket (10f) later the same month. Best form on handicap debut but 5th of 7 helps to illustrate that improvement is needed.
(7) (10/1 +44%) Chips And Rice	10/1(+44%)	(7) Chips And Rice 10/1, Having made a winning seasonal/stable debut at Lingfield (10f) in April, got back on the up when scoring readily at Brighton 22 days ago. However, this is a much tougher task as she goes up in grade. Improved a notch to score comfortably at Brighton three weeks ago on good to firm; up 6lb.
(9) (20/1 -11%) In These Shoes	20/1(-11%)	(9) In These Shoes 20/1, After 6 months off, gained a first handicap success at Beverley (7.4f) in April and ran at least as well when runner-up at Newmarket (7f) in July. Produced a rare below-par effort 9 days ago, but no surprise to see her bounce back as she goes up in trip. Never attempted even 1m but she came from the back over 7f; dam useful 10.6f/1m4f winner.
(1) (28/1 -27%) Rousay	28/1(-27%)	(1) Rousay 28/1, Listed winner at Salisbury last summer and ran well when fourth at that level at Kempton final 3-y-o start. However, failed to come on for her reappearance when down the field in Group 3 at Newcastle in June. Second in this race a year ago, but has work to do this time around. Heavy defeats on both starts this season but 2nd in this race last year and Listed winner.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

In a wide-open event marginal preference is for the highly-progressive LA ISLA MUJERES, who created a big impression when accounting for a decent field by seven lengths at Salisbury last time. An 11lb rise for that success will make her life tougher here, but the daughter of Lope De Vega may well defy that on her way to stakes company. Decoration and Therapist also merit plenty of respect following some encouraging placed efforts on their most recent starts. Others to note are Sirona, Queen Regent and Value Added.

DECORATION has been going the right way in each of her 4 starts so far, only narrowly beaten by another improver at Windsor 9 days ago, so she can continue her progress to gain a first handicap success. Heading the list of dangers is La Isla Mujeres, whose trainer Ralph Beckett has won this race twice in the last 3 years, while Queen Regent also merits consideration.

The pick is QUEEN REGENT (nap). She's unraced on turf but her latest run behind Value Added over 9.4f was brimful of promise.

Form	Odds	Runs
(4) (4/1 +0%) Rainbow Rain	4/1(+0%)	(4) Rainbow Rain 4/1, C&D winner. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 9/2) 28 days ago. 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid. Has a bit to prove on slow ground but he made the most of a reduced mark to win at Thirsk.
(1) (4.5/1 -50%) Mutanaaseq	4.5/1(-50%)	(1) Mutanaaseq 4.5/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap (3/1) at Catterick (7f, good) 7 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Carries penalty. Has to be taken seriously for all he's back at 6f. Has been holding his form for a while and did it nicely over 7f at Catterick last week.
(5) (6/1 +25%) Wade's Magic	6/1(+25%)	(5) Wade's Magic 6/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good, 7/1) 7 days ago. Can give another good account. Decent third last week; rain welcomed as he goes well on soft ground.
(6) (7.5/1 +12%) Bryce	7.5/1(+12%)	(6) Bryce 7.5/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Hamilton (6f, good) 13 days ago. Doesn't look an easy ride. Running well but now 0-12 and didn't find much for pressure at Hamilton most recently.
(11) (8/1 +60%) Indian Outlaw	8/1(+60%)	(11) Indian Outlaw 8/1, Cheekpieces on for first time, fifth of 8 in claimer at Gowran (8f, soft, 4/1) 84 days ago. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Andrew McNamara. Beaten in a claimer latest and best watched on stable debut after three months off.
(9) (11/1 +8%) Birdie Bowers	11/1(+8%)	(9) Birdie Bowers 11/1, Back on track after a quiet spell when second of 10 in minor event (13/2) at Musselburgh (5f, good) 28 days ago. Back to form latest (second); won't mind returning to 6f or getting back on slower ground.
(13) (12/1 -20%) Lancashire Life	12/1(-20%)	(13) Lancashire Life 12/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 5/1) 8 days ago. Merits consideration given he's in better heart than most. Bang there at Wolverhampton (6f/5f) the last twice but that's more her scene.
(2) (12/1 +0%) Spartan Fighter	12/1(+0%)	(2) Spartan Fighter 12/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Shaped quite well fifth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, firm, 17/2) 49 days ago. Lower in the weights on turf. Not running badly, beaten in the region of 5l in last three starts; saves his best for AW.
(3) (12/1 -33%) Miss Willows	12/1(-33%)	(3) Miss Willows 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. That was a backward step but she's unexposed and is capable of bouncing back. Lightly raced; beaten about 5l and 7l in her two handicaps, over 6f on the AW and soft.
(10) (20/1 +20%) Lucky Lucky Lucky	20/1(+20%)	(10) Lucky Lucky Lucky 20/1, One win from 29 Flat runs. Winner at Newcastle in February. 22/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f). Off 110 days. Back down in trip with cheekpieces back on. Won a 7f classified event at Newcastle in February; opposable on subsequent form.
(14) (20/1 +29%) Point Of Woods	20/1(+29%)	(14) Point Of Woods 20/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, well-beaten last of 12 to Rainbow Rain in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Has slipped to a good mark but a 10yo now and he's been struggling for form.
(16) (33/1 +18%) Amazing Arthur	33/1(+18%)	(16) Amazing Arthur 33/1, 8/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 22 days ago. Eight-race maiden whose best effort came when runner-up over Carlisle's stiff 6f in June.

Having struck the woodwork at Nottingham on his penultimate outing, MUTANAASEQ made no mistake when winning at Catterick five days later. Ruth Carr's eight-year-old remains feasibly treated judged on past exploits, too, and he appeals as the one to beat under a penalty. Recent Thirsk scorer Rainbow Rain looks set to go well, while Point Of Woods, who landed this contest two years ago, should not be underestimated.

RAINBOW RAIN was better than ever when doubling his career tally at Thirsk a month ago and in a race featuring mainly out-of-form rivals he looks to have plenty in his favour. Mutanaaseq is the other recent winner but the drop back in trip isn't bound to suit, with Lancashire Life another to consider.

Tim Easterby's WADE'S MAGIC is running well enough to believe his turn is near, and rain will aid his chance.

(6) (1/1 -75%) Wrecking Ballbilly	1/1(-75%)	(6) Wrecking Ballbilly 1/1, Showed plenty when runner-up at Killarney on debut 80 days ago. This doesn't look as strong a race and he has an experience edge over most, so leading claims. Creditable second of 14 at Killarney in May and probably sets a fairly good standard here.
(4) (1.88/1 +37%) Al Kalila	1.88/1(+37%)	(4) Al Kalila 1.88/1, €85,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam (h94), maiden hurdler (stayed 2¾m), half-sister to French hurdler/chase winner up to 2¼m Nikoline. Highly respected on debut. Out of a half-sister to a French Grade 3 winner; stable does very well in British bumpers.
(1) (6/1 +50%) Aughafatten	6/1(+50%)	(1) Aughafatten 6/1, Mahler gelding. Brother to useful hurdler/chaser Delusionofgrandeur, stayed 29f. Dam 7f-1¼m winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Led close home to win Irish point in May; considered each-way on rules debut.
(3) (12/1 +70%) We Got Your Back	12/1(+70%)	(3) We Got Your Back 12/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Smarty Wild, stays 3m. Unplaced completed start in points (Mar 12). Displayed clear promise in both Irish points; makes rules debut today.
(7) (28/1 -133%) Balfour Girl	28/1(-133%)	(7) Balfour Girl 28/1, Jack Hobbs filly. Dam no impact sole start in bumpers/over hurdles. Others are more appealing unless the market speaks in her favour. First foal from close relative of fair 3m hurdle winner Blairgowrie; stable 8% in bumpers.

WRECKING BALLBILLY hit the crossbar on his debut at Killarney in May and the son of Youmzain could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience under his belt. Al Kalila represents powerful connections and this 85,000-euro purchase has to be of some interest on his racecourse bow, while Balfour Girl and Sing My Story are other debutants who merit a market inspection.

WRECKING BALLBILLY offered plenty to work on when second at Killarney first time out and, while he's been off 80 days subsequently, he's worth a chance to go one better. Al Kalila is an interesting newcomer for a stable that does well in this sphere and Aughafatten is one to note if strong in the betting.

The most obvious answer is WRECKING BALLBILLY, who made a very promising debut at Killarney in May.

Claiming 7lb off GENUINE ARTICLE leaves him nicely treated here and there looks potential for further improvement from the Muhaarar gelding on just his third career outing. He was a big eye catcher on soft ground on his debut at Killarney last October and was value for a bit more than his winning margin on his return a fortnight ago at the same track. Jockey Conor Stone-Walsh has impressed this year and is good value for his allowance. Emmet Mullins also takes 7lb off the back of Malbay Madness and he could be a danger. The Wings Of Eagles gelding makes his third outing for the yard and drops in trip having faded late on in the Ulster Derby last time. Sea Gardens is fitted with cheekpieces now having been beaten favourite on his return in a Listowel maiden in early June. He is another to consider on his handicap debut.

There should be more to come from recent Killarney maiden winner GENUINE ARTICLE and he can give the weight away on handicap debut. Sea Gardens is another who appeals as a likely improver now handicapping and he's second choice ahead of Lan Cinnte.

Preference is for LAN CINNTE whose form looks strong and is proven on soft ground

17:20 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(5) (2/1 +43%) Rhoscolyn	2/1(+43%)	(5) Rhoscolyn 2/1, C&D winner. Has had 25 runs since his last win but there have been plenty of good efforts in defeat since then and he shaped as if he might be ready to take advantage of his falling mark when second at Beverley 9 days ago. Has run well at this meeting before. Player under Oisin Murphy. Back to form when runner-up at Beverley recently and has a fine record at Goodwood.
(9) (4/1 +67%) Physique	4/1(+67%)	(9) Physique 4/1, Newmarket novice winner at 2. Placed twice over C&D (good to firm/heavy) and not disgraced when tenth of 29 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot. Freshened up since. Twice third over C&D this season; improvement needed but this 3yo is lightly raced.
(3) (5/1 +58%) Isla Kai	5/1(+58%)	(3) Isla Kai 5/1, Capitalised on drop in weights/class to end losing run at Ripon (1m, heavy) in April. Has found life tougher since but the fact he's dropped back to that last successful mark makes him a dangerous one to discount. Won off this mark at Ripon in April but subsequent form has been patchy.
(8) (6.5/1 +28%) Dark Thirty	6.5/1(+28%)	(8) Dark Thirty 6.5/1, Back to winning ways at York (7f) in May. Good fourth over C&D next time and bounced straight back from a lesser run in the Britannia when third of 16 at Newmarket's July meeting. Stable has good record in this. 3yo; some strong form this year and trainer has won three of the last five runnings.
(14) (8/1 +6%) Love De Vega	8/1(+6%)	(14) Love De Vega 8/1, Lost his way in the second half of last year but has dropped to a favourable mark and shaped as if retaining plenty of ability when sixth of 12 on his 7f Newmarket reappearance 19 days ago. Frankie Dettori has won on him before. Interesting contender. Fair reappearance run on good to soft and could build on that when back on a sound surface.
(13) (8.5/1 +39%) Farasi Lane	8.5/1(+39%)	(13) Farasi Lane 8.5/1, Second success of the year when edging ahead close home at Ascot (7f, soft) 18 days ago. The second and third boosted than form when winning last week. Wide draw has the potential to make like tricky but he could still be well treated. Form of recent win at Ascot has been franked and slow ground would aid his cause.
(10) (10/1 +55%) Wobwobwob	10/1(+55%)	(10) Wobwobwob 10/1, Couple of good in-frame efforts on heavy ground in the spring. Excuses on his next 2 outings and unseated at the start at Ripon last time. Soundly beaten on last two completed starts and needs to get back on track.
(12) (40/1 -21%) Larado	40/1(-21%)	(12) Larado 40/1, Dual 7f winner last year but fourth was the best he could manage in 5 outings on AW at the beginning of 2023. Off for 5 months ahead of this return to turf. Mixed form after winning on AW last December and this is his first run since March.
(17) (40/1 -21%) Secret Strength	40/1(-21%)	(17) Secret Strength 40/1, Back to winning ways at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June but slow starts are an issue for him and he completely blew his chance with a very slow one at Epsom since. Risk attached after blowing the start at Epsom, but won at Newbury previously.
(7) (40/1 +39%) Baileysgutfeeling	40/1(+39%)	(7) Baileysgutfeeling 40/1, Won a 7f handicap at Leicester and a 6f seller at Leicester (final start for Kevin Philippart De Foy) at the start of the summer. Good third on Ffos Las yard debut but not in the same form when sixth at Haydock since. Only sixth of nine at Haydock last time and others are preferred.
(2) (66/1 -32%) Haziym	66/1(-32%)	(2) Haziym 66/1, Capable of useful form on turf in France last year. Down the field in 3 AW handicaps for current yard over the winter. Could only consider if backed on this first outing for 168 days. Well treated on French form but well beaten at big odds on first three British starts.

LTO Selection:

17:20 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

THUNDER BALL ran a blinder to finish fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, having been raised a 16lb for his Newbury novice success. The Night Of Thunder gelding has gone up a further 3lb for that latest effort, but he is still improving and could have further progress in his locker. Paul & Oliver Cole's charge receives a tentative vote in a wide-open contest, while Rhoscolyn, who bounced back to form with a fair second at Beverley nine days ago, can give him plenty to think about. Isla Kai, Darkness, Urban Sprawl and Classic are just a few others to consider.

RHOSCOLYN's runner-up effort in the 2021 Golden Mile shows he can cope with the demands of big-field handicaps here and he's worth siding with after showing signs that he may be ready to capitalise on his reduced mark at Beverley last week. Charlie Johnston's Love de Vega should be spot on for this after his recent comeback outing and is of interest with Frankie Dettori getting the call-up. Richard Hannon has won this 3 times since 2018 so his pair Classic and Dark Thirty also merit respect.

Richard Hannon has won three of the last five runnings and the stable's lightly raced 3yo CLASSIC earns the vote after his Sandown win.

17:30 Redcar Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(4) (3/1 -71%) Ey Up Its Jazz	3/1(-71%)	(4) Ey Up Its Jazz 3/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Thirsk in May. 6/4, good second of 8 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 9 days ago. Enters calculations. Disappointed at Ayr (7f, good to soft) two runs back but running well otherwise.
(3) (3.5/1 +0%) War Defender	3.5/1(+0%)	(3) War Defender 3.5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, soft, 7/1) 11 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Back to form the last twice and entitled to be winning races off this low a mark.
(2) (3.5/1 +13%) Makalu	3.5/1(+13%)	(2) Makalu 3.5/1, Latest win here in May. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Ripon (8f, good) 23 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again. 4th of ten at Ripon (1m, good) was in a higher grade and this softer ground won't faze him.
(5) (10/1 -25%) Motarajel	10/1(-25%)	(5) Motarajel 10/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, soft) 9 days ago. Worthy of consideration. Disappointed at Ayr (7f, good to soft) two runs back but running well otherwise.
(1) (14/1 -40%) Zumurud	14/1(-40%)	(1) Zumurud 14/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good, 10/1) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not discounted. On a good mark and rain won't bother him but he's made a quiet start to this season.
(10) (14/1 +30%) Skedaddled	14/1(+30%)	(10) Skedaddled 14/1, 12/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Could bounce back. 18-race maiden who has never finished better than third.
(6) (16/1 +0%) Royal Prospect	16/1(+0%)	(6) Royal Prospect 16/1, Course winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 16/1) 33 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark. Running okay since returning from a lengthy break but no more than that.
(11) (20/1 +0%) Barrister Blaster	20/1(+0%)	(11) Barrister Blaster 20/1, 14/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Others more persuasive. Latest 4l defeat was one of his better efforts but he's an inconsistent maiden.
(7) (22/1 +12%) Thomas Cranmer	22/1(+12%)	(7) Thomas Cranmer 22/1, Twenty nine runs since last win in 2018. 12/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f). Off 92 days. Down in trip. Has work to do. Absent nearly ten months before reappearance four weeks ago and was not beaten far.
(8) (25/1 +50%) Peroni	25/1(+50%)	(8) Peroni 25/1, Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 12/1). Off 7 months. Significantly back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Gay Kelleway. Hard to make a strong case for. Well down the field in all three handicaps for Gay Kelleway from 1m to 1m4f.
(9) (28/1 +15%) Galton	28/1(+15%)	(9) Galton 28/1, 12/1, last of 10 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 43 days ago. Plenty to prove at present. Had been running well in 1m handicaps until finishing tailed off the last twice.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Redcar Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

EY UP ITS JAZZ has been steadily progressive this season, winning at Leicester in April before striking at Thirsk the following month. He still looks capable off this mark having finished a creditable second at Beverley nine days ago, and Tony Coyle's gelding shades preference. War Defender appeals as a likely player eased 1lb after his recent Doncaster third, with Motarajel expected to go well too.

EY UP ITS JAZZ has already won twice this year and got back on the up when runner-up at Beverley 9 days ago. so he's worth a chance to resume winning ways against more exposed types. War Defender and Makalu also arrive in good order and could well be involved in the finish.

Tim Easterby looks to have a strong hand with WAR DEFENDER and Motarajel. The selection has dropped to a very good mark.

17:40 Galway Maiden 12f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(17) (0.44/1 +40%) Up And Under	0.44/1(+40%)	(17) Up And Under 0.44/1, Useful 3-y-o colt. 28/1, respectable 10¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Auguste Rodin in Irish Derby at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) 31 days ago, not ideally placed. Serious claims returned to calmer waters. Sticks out a mile here on the basis of two Group 3 seconds and fifth in Irish Derby.
(11) (5/1 -11%) Winter Fog	5/1(-11%)	(11) Winter Fog 5/1, Smart jumps winner, making GB/IRE Flat debut. Won 6-runner minor event hurdle (1/2) at Cork (24f, good to soft) 19 days ago, asserting final 50 yds. Could well be up to making his mark on that evidence making Flat debut. 148-rated hurdler, trainer has won this in five of the last six years, belated Flat debut.
(3) (7/1 +50%) Ninth Loch	7/1(+50%)	(3) Ninth Loch 7/1, Footstepsinthesand gelding who built on bumper debut effort in April when winning 7-runner Kilbeggan bumper (2m) in June. In excellent hands and no surprise to see him make an impact on Flat debut. Flat-bred gelding had to work hard to land a Kilbeggan bumper, stable's number-two here.
(7) (7.5/1 +25%) The Last Mardi	7.5/1(+25%)	(7) The Last Mardi 7.5/1, Fairly useful jumps winner. Promising sort. 4/5, won 15-runner novice hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 13 days ago, comfortably. Open to improvement in this sphere. Dual bumper winner, also a winner over hurdles, finished third in this race 12 months ago.
(8) (7.5/1 +46%) This Songisforyou	7.5/1(+46%)	(8) This Songisforyou 7.5/1, Winner on bumper debut at this meeting 12 months ago prior to good second at Ballinrobe in September. Well held in Grade 2 final start but showed ability when fifth in a Roscommon novice hurdle (15.5f) 23 days ago. Not out of things on Flat debut. Course bumper winner a year ago on debut, should be better for a recent run over hurdles.
(6) (9/1 +55%) The Banger Doyle	9/1(+55%)	(6) The Banger Doyle 9/1, Fairly useful jumps winner. Once-raced gelding on Flat. Second of 14 in maiden at Killarney (14.1f, good to soft, 6/1) on flat debut 15 days ago, nearest finish. Bumper and chase winner, faces stiffer task than when second on Flat debut at Killarney.
(18) (25/1 -56%) Votre Homme	25/1(-56%)	(18) Votre Homme 25/1, Lightly-raced colt. Creditable tenth of 18 in minor event (20/1) at the Curragh (12f, good) 33 days ago. Yard in good form. Best of four runs when second over 1m5f at Sligo, 78-rated colt needs to raise his game.
(5) (40/1 -100%) Plains Indian	40/1(-100%)	(5) Plains Indian 40/1, Useful jumps winner. Twice-raced gelding on Flat. 5/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at Killarney (14.1f, good to soft) 15 days ago, outpaced 3f out and plugging on. Handicaps more his bag moving forward in this sphere. 135-rated hurdler who landed a good Limerick prize last year, placed on Flat last season.
(20) (66/1 -313%) Minella Mate	66/1(-313%)	(20) Minella Mate 66/1, Fairly useful bumper winner, off the mark at Kilbeggan (2m) in June. Fifth of 16 in novice hurdle (11/10) at Roscommon (20f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 23 days ago. Makes Flat debut. Reserve 2. Second reserve, won a bumper at Kilbeggan in June, unplaced favourite over hurdles since.
(10) (66/1 -100%) Weather Alert	66/1(-100%)	(10) Weather Alert 66/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 16/1, good second of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (16f, heavy). Off over 2 years. Down in trip. Relatively experienced but absent since second in a 2m handicap at the Curragh in May 2021.
(4) (66/1 -65%) Penny Jar	66/1(-65%)	(4) Penny Jar 66/1, Once-raced gelding on Flat. Fair winner at 22f over hurdles. Third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good, 11/2) 13 days ago, running on. Fair on the Flat, 4/10 on last Flat run. Three-time handicap hurdle winner, probably needed the race on Flat debut at Tramore.
(14) (66/1 -65%) Young Lucy	66/1(-65%)	(14) Young Lucy 66/1, Lauro filly. Improved on previous efforts when running out an easy winner of a Cork bumper (2m) in May, well served by switch to a positive ride. Makes Flat debut. Made all to win a bumper at Cork in May, dam from a family associated with Willie Mullins.
(13) (100/1 -150%) Dubeyeracingcraic	100/1(-150%)	(13) Dubeyeracingcraic 100/1, Twice-raced filly. 17/2, tenth of 14 in maiden at Bellewstown (12.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago, weakening over 2f out. Handicaps entitled to be more her bag for shrewd yard. Half-sister to Irish St Leger winner Sonnyboyliston, has made a low-key start to career.
(2) (100/1 -150%) Killeemore Lad	100/1(-150%)	(2) Killeemore Lad 100/1, Fairly useful jumps winner, making GB/IRE Flat debut. 5/1, fifth of 8 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 8 days ago. Winner of hurdle races at Kilbeggan and Hexham in recent months, no Flat experience.
(15) (125/1 -89%) Palo Duro	125/1(-89%)	(15) Palo Duro 125/1, Fascinating Rock gelding. Dam unraced. Market should guide as one of 3 runners from this yard. Gelded son of Fascinating Rock out of an unraced daughter of Galileo, tough task on debut.
(9) (150/1 -50%) Tom The Plasterer	150/1(-50%)	(9) Tom The Plasterer 150/1, Once-raced gelding on Flat. 125/1 and blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 12 in maiden at Bellewstown (12f, heavy) on flat debut. Off 118 days. Not disgraced when fifth in a Bellewstown maiden in April but this looks very demanding.
(16) (200/1 -100%) Rushour Rains	200/1(-100%)	(16) Rushour Rains 200/1, Court Cave gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 1¾m Roar. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner. Likely best watched on debut unless betting indicates otherwise. Half-brother to versatile seven-time winner Roar, lack of experience a drawback.

LTO Selection:

17:40 Galway Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

UP AND UNDER should prove hard to beat in this as he takes a drop in class back into maiden company. The Lope De Vega colt was last seen finishing fifth in the Irish Derby and had been runner-up in a couple of the leading classic trials prior to his run at the Curragh. He has a lofty enough mark of 106 and it would be disappointing if he couldn't collect now. Willie Mullins runs smart jumper Winter Fog and he could be the one to give the selection most to do. The Papal Bull gelding bounced back to winning ways in a conditions hurdle at Cork last month. The Banger Doyle ran well when second in a Killarney maiden just over two weeks ago and could be one for a place.

UP AND UNDER has placed form at Group level, including with plenty of give underfoot, and this represents a good opportunity for Joseph O'Brien's colt to open his account. Winter Fog, The Last Mardi and Ninth Loch are a trio of others to consider.

This is a perfect opportunity for UP AND UNDER, whose two Group 3 seconds put him in a different league to the bumper/hurdles winners

17:52 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(6) (1.5/1 -36%) Battista	1.5/1(-36%)	(6) Battista 1.5/1, Cemented positive start to his career when landing the odds in an AW novice, a fortnight ago, hard held. In top hands and opening mark could be lenient. Won a weak Wolverhampton novice last time; open to further progress now handicapping.
(3) (1.88/1 -7%) Monte Linas	1.88/1(-7%)	(3) Monte Linas 1.88/1, Made a winning debut at Chelmsford in April and cast aside a couple of heavy defeats in handicap company when landing 12-runner contest at York 3 weeks ago. 4 lb rise perfectly fair. Appreciated step up to this trip when winning at York last month; major player up 4lb.
(4) (4.5/1 +50%) Crystal Casque	4.5/1(+50%)	(4) Crystal Casque 4.5/1, Back to winning ways in 1m Newmarket handicap under this apprentice in June. On the back foot early after a tardy start at Ascot so that effort can probably be excused. Won at Newmarket in June; had excuses last time; jockey knows her well; could bounce back.
(1) (11/1 +67%) Mr Professor	11/1(+67%)	(1) Mr Professor 11/1, Disappointing spell in Bahrain and fared no better when last of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f), albeit ridden too aggressively. Off 144 days and has since left Alice Haynes. Listed winner as a 2yo but tailed off in March latest; enough to prove on stable debut.
(5) (14/1 +44%) Mindthegap	14/1(+44%)	(5) Mindthegap 14/1, Different proposition on second start when successful at Chelmsford in November. Shaped as though in need of the run on reappearance in June but didn't step forward switched to turf/handicap company latest, hanging left. Won easily at Chelmsford last autumn but twice well held since returning; enough to prove.
(7) (20/1 +20%) Amaysmont	20/1(+20%)	(7) Amaysmont 20/1, Arrives on a lengthy losing run and nothing to get excited about for current yard. 1-21 on turf; continues to slide down the weights, but hard to fancy.
(2) (50/1 -100%) Maplewood	50/1(-100%)	(2) Maplewood 50/1, Off the mark at Windsor in May last year. Heavy defeat at Sandown a month later and let go by Godolphin for £27,000 in March. Entitled to need this. 1-5 for Charlie Appleby; makes stable debut after 417 days off; watch the market.

LTO Selection:

17:52 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner in novice company on the all-weather last month, BATTISTA looks the one to beat on his handicap debut. An opening mark of 77 looks workable for John and Thady Gosden's three-year-old and, given his dam is a half-sister to Group 1-placed El Drama, he could have more to offer. Monte Linas seems his most serious danger following a success, albeit off a 4lb lower mark, over this distance at York. Crystal Casque also warrants a second look.

On profile, BATTISTA rather stands out as a 3-y-o on the up with the potential to rate quite a bit higher than his current rating. Monte Linas is the obvious danger on the back of his York win.

Preference is for MONTE LINAS (nap) who appeared to relish the step up to 1m and galloping track when winning at York last time.

18:02 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(4) (2/1 -33%) Look Back Smiling	2/1(-33%)	(4) Look Back Smiling 2/1, Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap (4/5) at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 15 days ago, very slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter. Things didn't go his way last time and that was after a near-miss at Hamilton; respected.
(1) (3.33/1 +63%) Roach Power	3.33/1(+63%)	(1) Roach Power 3.33/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Chester (7.6f, soft) 19 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Can't be ruled out. Inconsistent type with a record of 1-13 and was well below form last time.
(2) (3.5/1 +0%) Cold Stare	3.5/1(+0%)	(2) Cold Stare 3.5/1, In good form until only sixth of 8 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Handily weighted but it's now twenty three runs since last win in 2021. On long losing run and was disappointing latest but he's not ruled out off dangerous mark.
(5) (5/1 -25%) Media Guest	5/1(-25%)	(5) Media Guest 5/1, 22/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 24 days ago, just holding on (first past the post but edged right and subsequently disqualified). Player nudged up 1 lb. Has record of 1-22 but was first past the post at Chelmsford last time; now steps up to 1m.
(3) (6/1 +0%) Gone	6/1(+0%)	(3) Gone 6/1, Already posted 4 wins from 9 runs this year, latest at Bath in June. Respectable fourth of 7 in handicap (13/2) at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) 8 days ago so she's in the mix once more. Four wins this season and wasn't beaten far at Musselburgh last time; in the mix.
(6) (25/1 +24%) Marayel	25/1(+24%)	(6) Marayel 25/1, 33/1 and hooded for 1st time, only fifth of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 47 days ago. Something to find on form. 11-race maiden who has been beaten 5l or more in his four runs (7f-9.4f) for current yard.

LTO Selection:

18:02 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MEDIA GUEST finished first past the post at Chelmsford last month but for subsequently losing the race in the stewards' room. He's only 1lb higher on this switch to turf and compensation could await for George Margarson's gelding. Look Back Smiling didn't appear the easiest of rides when hanging right at Beverley last time, but the three-year-old is capable on a going day and is feared most. Cold Stare is another to consider on his best form this season.

MEDIA GUEST looked to have ended a long losing run at Chelmsford City last time only to lose the race in the stewards' room and can gain compensation nudged up just 1 lb here. Gone is enjoying an excellent season and rates the chief threat, with Roach Power and Cold Stare not ruled out either in a trappy-looking handicap.

This looks a bit trappy but LOOK BACK SMILING gets the vote ahead of Media Guest.

Form	Odds	Runs
(4) (2.5/1 +38%) Immelmann	2.5/1(+38%)	(4) Immelmann 2.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Simon & Ed Crisford when respectable sixth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (16f, good, 9/2) 32 days ago, not ideally placed. Enters calculations. Lightly raced for the Crisfords, lengthy layoff before stable debut, should be sharper now.
(3) (4/1 +11%) Mr Escobar	4/1(+11%)	(3) Mr Escobar 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. 5/4, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Merits consideration. 1m4f Dundalk maiden winner, unplaced favourite in two handicap starts for this stable.
(1) (5/1 +23%) En Or	5/1(+23%)	(1) En Or 5/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Won 6-runner rated event (11/10) at Fairyhouse (14.2f, good) 21 days ago. Looks on a good mark and his stabler is no stranger to success in this race. Three wins in France, emphatic winner of a Fairyhouse rated race last month, respected.
(2) (8/1 +43%) Mon Coeur	8/1(+43%)	(2) Mon Coeur 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. 9/2, second of 17 in maiden at Leopardstown (15f, good) 41 days ago. Yard having good spell. Makes handicap debut. Bumper winner, second on all three starts in Flat maidens, fair chance on handicap debut.
(15) (10/1 +9%) Crassus	10/1(+9%)	(15) Crassus 10/1, 12/1, third of 18 in minor event at the Curragh (12f, good) 33 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Yard in good form. Useful dual-purpose sort in 2021, good run after a long absence when third at the Curragh.
(6) (10/1 +38%) Hallowed Star	10/1(+38%)	(6) Hallowed Star 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Useful winner at 23f over hurdles. Last of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, good to soft, 12/1) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Twice placed in Flat maidens, merits respect as three-time course winner over jumps.
(14) (18/1 +28%) No Thanks	18/1(+28%)	(14) No Thanks 18/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 13 in handicap hurdle (5/2) at Ballinrobe (21.6f, good) 8 days ago. Hood back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Second over hurdles last week, may have needed his Flat run at Killarney, won this in 2021.
(16) (18/1 +28%) Takarengo	18/1(+28%)	(16) Takarengo 18/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 4/1, creditable 4½ lengths third of 6 to En Or in minor event at Fairyhouse (14.2f, good) 21 days ago, slowly away. Needs to step up on the form of this season's Flat outings at Killarney and Fairyhouse.
(10) (20/1 -25%) Seattle Sound	20/1(-25%)	(10) Seattle Sound 20/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap (20/1) at Limerick (12.3f, good) 39 days ago by ½ length from En Or, well ridden. Significantly up in trip. Can make presence felt. Exploited reduced mark when 20-1 winner at Limerick on second run after a long absence.
(9) (22/1 -38%) Queen Of Seduction	22/1(-38%)	(9) Queen Of Seduction 22/1, Winner at Roscommon in June. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Form of her Tramore second was boosted when winner Vischio followed up at Ballinrobe.
(11) (22/1 -10%) Barnacullia	22/1(-10%)	(11) Barnacullia 22/1, Useful jumps winner. Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Useful winner at 18f in chases. 7/1, third of 10 in maiden at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Winning hurdler/chaser, fair recent form in Flat maidens, potentially interesting.
(19) (22/1 +12%) Walking On Glass	22/1(+12%)	(19) Walking On Glass 22/1, C&D winner. Ninth of 11 in handicap chase at Roscommon (24.2f, good, 16/1) 51 days ago, going in snatches. Fair on the Flat, bit below form on last Flat outing. Won this event in 2020, unplaced last year, out of form over fences lately.
(18) (33/1 -32%) Bal De Rio	33/1(-32%)	(18) Bal De Rio 33/1, 7/2, didn't need to be at best when winning 12-runner claiming hurdle at Roscommon (20f, good to soft) 23 days ago, readily. Fair on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Winner of four hurdle races since March, no Flat run since 2020, ground-versatile.
(7) (40/1 -186%) Last Ammo	40/1(-186%)	(7) Last Ammo 40/1, 8/1, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft) 9 days ago, needing stiffer test. Significantly back up in trip. Looks competitive on form. AW winner in Britain, best Irish run when second at Ballinrobe last time, more needed now.
(12) (50/1 -25%) The Jam Man	50/1(-25%)	(12) The Jam Man 50/1, Visored for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Limerick (17f, good) 40 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Blinkers back on. Much better known for jumping exploits, only Flat win at York in 2020, others preferred.
(5) (66/1 -32%) Chase The Dollar	66/1(-32%)	(5) Chase The Dollar 66/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap (33/1) at Chester (14.4f, heavy) 18 days ago, doing too much too soon. Potentially well enough treated on his best British form, may have needed run at Chester.
(13) (66/1 +0%) Dark Voyager	66/1(+0%)	(13) Dark Voyager 66/1, Course winner. 100/1, pulled up in minor event hurdle at Wexford (17.4f, good to soft) 63 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Useful type for Willie Mullins, has looked out of sorts in two hurdle races for this yard.
(8) (80/1 -60%) Never Do Nothing	80/1(-60%)	(8) Never Do Nothing 80/1, 33/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f). Off 17 months. Probably best watched after such a long layoff. Four-time winner, three on the Flat and a juvenile hurdle, long absence to overcome.
(17) (80/1 -21%) Three Comets	80/1(-21%)	(17) Three Comets 80/1, Twelfth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Killarney (16.8f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Something to find on form. Won a Thurles handicap over 2m on soft ground last October, has struggled since then.

LTO Selection:

18:10 Galway Handicap 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NO THANKS won this race a couple of years ago and could run well again after a decent effort over hurdles on his most recent outing. The Matthew Smith-trained gelding chased home Father Jed at Ballinrobe eight days ago and the fact that he has winning form here in soft ground looks a big plus. En Or was a cosy enough winner at Fairyhouse last time and has to be respected after just a 4lb rise for that win. He does have plenty of weight to carry on this ground though. Hallowed Star is fitted with cheekpieces after a poor run over in Cartmel last time. He is a three-time winner over jumps at the track and could be each-way material if the headgear reignites his spark.

The step up to 2m should play to the strengths of EN OR who can provide Tony Martin with a third win in this race since 2013. Luke Comer's Seattle Sound beat the selection at Limerick last month and is second choice ahead of Willie Mullins pair Immelmann and Mr Escobar.

Noel Meade's runner CRASSUS made encouraging return to action at the Curragh and is interesting on the form he showed in 2021

Form	Odds	Runs
(2) (1.25/1 +23%) Scoops Ahoy	1.25/1(+23%)	(2) Scoops Ahoy 1.25/1, Winner of 5f Hamilton maiden in June but well held at Royal Ascot a week later and ran no sort of race on last month's 6f York nursery debut. This weaker and could bounce back. Hamilton winner in June but well beaten twice since; could bounce back, but risky.
(1) (2/1 +11%) Trevor	2/1(+11%)	(1) Trevor 2/1, Fair maiden. Raced at 6f but shapes as he has the speed for the drop to 5f. Handicap debut. Has shown early speed the last twice, so drop in trip may suit on nursery debut; respected.
(3) (4/1 -78%) Fifty Grand Slater	4/1(-78%)	(3) Fifty Grand Slater 4/1, Ran poorly at Nottingham last time but his runner-up effort at Wolverhampton prior to that suggests this mark may not be beyond him. Has first-time cheekpieces combined with a refitted tongue tie. Twice second and twice well beaten in four starts; not sure what to expect; cheekpieces on.
(4) (8/1 +68%) Land Of Magic	8/1(+68%)	(4) Land Of Magic 8/1, Showed ability when fifth in a 6f Goodwood maiden on second start but proved virtually unrideable on his Lingfield nursery debut since, bronking continuously soon after leaving the stalls and quickly tailed off. Has a hood added for the first time. Some ability on third start but proved almost uncontrollable last time; hard to recommend.

LTO Selection:

18:22 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A tentative vote is given to TREVOR, who finished two and a half lengths behind the winner at Windsor last month. He makes his nursery debut here and, with further progression likely, Pat Phelan's gelding can get the better of Scoops Ahoy, who may find this to be easier than his most recent start at York. Fifty Grand Slater completes the shortlist in first-time cheekpieces.

A very weak nursery. FIFTY GRAND SLATER ran poorly last time but his AW second prior to that reads well in the context of this race and he can bounce back to form in a headgear combination. Scoops Ahoy, another who needs to shrug off a tame effort last time, could be the one to give him most to do.

This can go to TREVOR who has shown plenty of early speed over 6f in his last two starts, so the drop to 5f looks a good move.

Dam, 1m winner who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to smart 1¼m-11f winner Almodovar (by Sea The Stars) out of useful 8.3f winner Melodramatic. Interesting newcomer. 100,000gns yearling; plenty to like on paper and she needs a close look on debut.

Dam, maiden (stayed 8.5f), sister to winner up to 13f Banksters Bonus and winner up to 11f Backbench Blues (both smart). 80,000gns half-sister to some useful winners; needs watching in market on debut.
(7) (6.5/1 +7%) Lunar Streets	6.5/1(+7%)	(7) Lunar Streets 6.5/1, Foaled February 14. €20,000 yearling, Ten Sovereigns filly. Half-sister to 1m-1¼m winner Pocketeer. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Nebo out of useful winner up to 2m (2-y-o 9f winner) Kindling. Yard 1-31 with 2yos this season and this newcomer looks a longer-term prospect.

In rear in sole run in Ireland; best watched for new yard (changed hands for 1,500gns).

LTO Selection:

18:32 Leicester Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Those with racecourse experience haven't set much of a standard and warrant closer attention once receiving a handicap mark. The betting market is likely to prove informative for the remaining newcomers, with a tentative vote going to MARIE ELLEN. Marco Botti's charge is a half-sister to the highly-rated Rainbow Fire and she may take some beating if anywhere near the same ability. Wren Officer and Showmethewayhome are other interesting players.

The 2 with experience have shown next to nothing so far so an excellent opportunity for one of the newcomers to make a winning start, WREN OFFICER making the most appeal before market clues. Marie Ellen is next on the list.

The market should be informative but at this stage the vote goes to MARIE ELLEN, who is a half-sister to two useful 2yo winners.

18:40 Galway Handicap Chase 22f - 22 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(2) (5.5/1 +8%) Kilcruit	5.5/1(+8%)	(2) Kilcruit 5.5/1, Posted a borderline high-class effort when making a winning handicap debut on only his fourth chase start in valuable event at the Punchestown Festival in April. Failed to stay back over hurdles in Group 1 at Auteuil (25f) following month. Big run expected. Made all for an emphatic win on handicap debut at Punchestown, up 12lb but stable selected.
(14) (6.5/1 +41%) Ash Tree Meadow	6.5/1(+41%)	(14) Ash Tree Meadow 6.5/1, Developed into a useful chaser last season, winning 3 times before good fourth in this off a similar mark (rider dropped whip early in straight). Couple of recent spins (over hurdles/on the Flat) should put him spot on for this. Only one pound higher than when fourth to Hewick 12 months ago, pleasing recent Flat run.
(8) (7/1 +36%) Enniskerry	7/1(+36%)	(8) Enniskerry 7/1, Smart chaser. Career best when winning 7-runner Gr 3 chase at Roscommon (16.1f, good, 5/2) in September. Failed to give his running in Grade 1 at Fairyhouse in December but confirmed well-being when making a winning Flat debut 6 weeks ago, creating a very good impression. Remains unexposed. Winner of both completed races over fences, should be in prime shape after Flat maiden win.
(18) (9/1 +0%) Hollow Games	9/1(+0%)	(18) Hollow Games 9/1, Useful hurdler who looked a natural when making a winning chase bow at Navan in November. Highly tried next 2 starts before back on track when fourth in handicap at the Punchestown Festival. Surely more to come from him in this sphere back up in trip. All four runs over fences have been over shorter, hurdles form implies he should stay.
(3) (11/1 +39%) Easy Game	11/1(+39%)	(3) Easy Game 11/1, Superbly placed to win 8 of his last 9 starts. Badly hampered when tenth in this last year. Shortlisted. Unbeaten in four races since tenth behind Hewick a year ago, may find a few too good.
(12) (14/1 -40%) Authorized Art	14/1(-40%)	(12) Authorized Art 14/1, Completed hat-trick over fences in Grade 3 at Tipperary in October. Just the one decent effort since, however, Headgear refitted. Three-time chase winner, appears held by stablemate Kilcruit on Punchestown festival form.
(1) (14/1 -17%) Hewick	14/1(-17%)	(1) Hewick 14/1, Top-class chaser who won the bet365 Gold Cup in 2022. Even better form last season, winning this race (off 12 lb lower), Grade 1 hurdle in the US and Grade 2 chase at Sandown. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth in Group 1 hurdle at Auteuil in May. Must be respected. Last year's winner, 12lb higher, prospect of testing ground for repeat bid is a concern.
(7) (14/1 -56%) Final Orders	14/1(-56%)	(7) Final Orders 14/1, Has been nothing short of a revelation for these connections and completed a 5-timer over fences in valuable 2m handicap at Leopardstown. Shaped as if still in form in the Grand Annual before taking a heavy fall in the Topham at Aintree. Proved his well-being when scoring back on Flat last month. Won five in a row before fifth in the Grand Annual, fell in Topham, Flat winner last month.
(4) (16/1 -45%) Fury Road	16/1(-45%)	(4) Fury Road 16/1, Grade 2 winner at Down Royal last season and also placed in a couple of Grade 1s. On a good mark on those efforts back in a handicap. Grade 1 novice winner who has done much of his racing at top level, Jack Kennedy aboard.
(13) (16/1 -45%) The Goffer	16/1(-45%)	(13) The Goffer 16/1, Much improved switched to fences last term, winning valuable event at Leopardstown in February and excellent fourth in the Ultima at Cheltenham. Pulled up in Irish National at Fairyhouse but back on track when fourth in bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown. Still only a 6-y-o so may have more to offer still. Last season's Leopardstown Chase winner, fourth in big handicaps at Cheltenham and Sandown.
(5) (16/1 +0%) Lifetime Ambition	16/1(+0%)	(5) Lifetime Ambition 16/1, Grade 3 winner as a novice. Failed to win last season but was third in the John Durkin and was jumping superbly up with the pace in the Grand National only for luck to desert him (loose horse veered right into his path approaching first Valentine's). Shortlisted. Best run last season was over 3m when second in the Troytown, unseated in Grand National.
(11) (16/1 +52%) Foxy Jacks	16/1(+52%)	(11) Foxy Jacks 16/1, Patchy record over fences and has plenty of miles on the clock but at least arrives on the back of a career-best win at Kilbeggan (25f, soft) 19 days ago. Game front-running winner of the Midlands National at Kilbeggan, extra 8lb may anchor him.
(15) (16/1 +60%) A Wave Of The Sea	16/1(+60%)	(15) A Wave Of The Sea 16/1, Useful chaser. Failed to win last season but finished an honourable ninth in the Grand National. Shaped encouragingly back over hurdles last month. Early faller in this race last year, ninth in Grand National, fair recent run over hurdles.
(9) (18/1 -13%) Visionarian	18/1(-13%)	(9) Visionarian 18/1, Excellent first season over fences, winning a Grade 3 and placed in a couple of Grade 1s. Probably needed the run back over hurdles last month and opening mark in this sphere looks a fair one. Grade 1-placed as a novice last season, has had a recent spin over hurdles, handicap debut.
(16) (20/1 -25%) Gabbys Cross	20/1(-25%)	(16) Gabbys Cross 20/1, Won handicap over C&D at this meeting last summer off 6 lb lower and shaped up well in good races later in the season. Had little go right in the Grand National final start. Won the Galway Blazers here last year, has tended to make the odd mistake in big handicaps.
(10) (22/1 +0%) Ciel De Neige	22/1(+0%)	(10) Ciel De Neige 22/1, Progressive as a novice chaser, winning 3 on the spin. Failed to hit the target last season but hinted at a revival before unseated rider 2 out in Topham Chase at Aintree when last seen. Not taken lightly. Won his first three chase starts, has failed to make a significant impact in handicaps.
(17) (33/1 +0%) Fighter Allen	33/1(+0%)	(17) Fighter Allen 33/1, Winning hurdler, one-time useful chaser. Out of sorts. No sign of his best in three runs last season, has had a run over hurdles this term.
(22) (33/1 +0%) Born By The Sea	33/1(+0%)	(22) Born By The Sea 33/1, Useful handicap chaser who seemed to excel himself from out of the weights when sixth in the Grand National at Aintree. Had a pipe opener back on the Flat last month. Grand National sixth, warmed up for this with a Flat run, 3lb out of the handicap.
(21) (33/1 +18%) Upping The Anti	33/1(+18%)	(21) Upping The Anti 33/1, Useful chaser who ran creditably up in grade when 13 lengths second in Gr 3 chase (14/1) at Thurles (18f, soft) in March but jumping once again let him down when falling heavily in the Topham at Aintree the following month. Two wins in novice races last season were achieved in weak races, absent since Topham fall.
(6) (40/1 -60%) Andy Dufresne	40/1(-60%)	(6) Andy Dufresne 40/1, Potentially on a good mark but arrives on the back of a disappointing campaign. Leap of faith required. Second in the 2022 Grand Annual, never found his best form last season, up against it now.
(19) (50/1 +0%) Hurricane Georgie	50/1(+0%)	(19) Hurricane Georgie 50/1, Three wins from 9 runs last season but just going through the motions of late, 19½ lengths fourth of 13 to Foxy Jacks in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (25f, soft) 19 days ago. Looks held by Foxy Jacks on running in the Midlands National at Kilbeggan.
(20) (50/1 +24%) Lieutenant Command	50/1(+24%)	(20) Lieutenant Command 50/1, Won 9-runner handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.4f, good) in March but struggled off revised mark at Punchestown following month. Won valuable Leopardstown handicap in March, well beaten off revised mark at Punchestown.

LTO Selection:

18:40 Galway Handicap Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FINAL ORDERS was a revelation when sent over fences last season, completing a five-timer in a valuable contest at Leopardstown in February before finishing fifth in the Grand Annual. He warmed up for this with a win on the level at Bellewstown, won't mind the soft ground, and has a nice racing weight. Fury Road is one of a strong team of contenders for Gordon Elliott and did most of his racing in Grade 1s last term, including when third in a pair of Leopardstown contests. He goes well on right-handed tracks. Born By The Sea won the Galway Blazers over C&D in 2021 and was fifth to Gabbys Cross in it last year. He's a few pounds out of the handicap but was a very creditable sixth in the Grand National and can go well at a price. Kilcruit is up 12lb for a front-running success on his most recent chase start at Punchestown, and Hewick carries 12lb more than when winning this last year.

Ultra-competitive but KILCRUIT looked an ideal type for this when scoring at the Punchestown Festival in impressive fashion, so earns the vote. Enniskerry and Hollow Games are unexposed chasers who surely have more to offer, while Fury Road is on a good mark on the pick of his form in Grade 1s.

Perhaps Danny Gilligan's 7lb claim will prove crucial on ASH TREE MEADOW, fourth to Hewick in this event 12 months ago

Shaped with plenty of encouragement when second of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Sure to improve and sets a high standard. Clear of the third when second on his Newmarket debut; should be hard to beat.

Half-brother to several winners, including French 15f winner Gran Geste and German 1½m winner Glyzinie. Shaped most promisingly when fourth of 10 in novice (25/1) at this C&D on debut 26 days ago, finishing with running left. Will improve. Promising fourth on debut over C&D last month; should go well again.

Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1¼m Bourree and 1½m-1¾m winner Beamish, both smart. Dam unraced. Attractive pedigree and stable gets plenty of 2yo winners first time; interesting.
(2) (18/1 -50%) Dark Encounter	18/1(-50%)	(2) Dark Encounter 18/1, Promising effort when second of 13 in novice event at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on debut, no match for winner. Pulled too hard upped to this trip at Ayr since. Disappointed on second start after a promising debut; faces some interesting types here.
(9) (25/1 -213%) Teraabb	25/1(-213%)	(9) Teraabb 25/1, Foaled February 11. €105,000 yearling, Masar colt. Dam, useful French 7f/1m winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Daarik. Entered for Champagne Stakes. Stable has few 2yos go in first time, but he holds a Champagne Stakes entry; watch market.
(8) (33/1 +34%) Sun God	33/1(+34%)	(8) Sun God 33/1, Foaled April 9. Fastnet Rock colt. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Sumo Sam. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 1½m winner Stay Alert (by Fastnet Rock) out of useful 1½m winner (should have stayed 2m) Starfala. May be one for further later on and stable doesn't have many go in first time.
(6) (40/1 -21%) Golden Deeds	40/1(-21%)	(6) Golden Deeds 40/1, Foaled April 8. Golden Horn colt. Brother to 2-y-o 8.6f winner Band of Steel. Dam, 8.3f winner, half-sister to very smart 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 1½m) Walk In The Park out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 5f winner) Classic Park. Wears hood. Hooded for debut but stable can get one ready first time and he's worth a market check.

(1) (80/1 -100%) Continuance	80/1(-100%)	(1) Continuance 80/1, Foaled February 17. Postponed colt. Dam 1m-1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Apprentice ridden on debut and may be one for later on.

Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1m winner Kitty Kitana and 9f winner Angels Tread. Dam lightly raced. Probably best watched on debut unless market suggests otherwise.

LTO Selection:

18:52 Sandown Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

EMPEROR'S STAR made a pleasing start to his racing career when finishing second over this distance at Newmarket last month. Charlie Appleby's 300,000-euro purchase boasts an appealing pedigree, being out a half-sister to the Group 1 winner Cloth Of Stars, and he likely has more to offer. Others to consider include C&D fourth Wild Waves and the unraced Golden Deeds.

EMPEROR'S STAR shaped with plenty of encouragement despite being beaten at short odds on debut at Newmarket and he could be useful. Wild Waves also showed plenty to work on when fourth over C&D so is respected, while Teraabb is a newcomer to note (holds a Group 2 entry).

Preference is for EMPEROR'S STAR who pulled clear of the rest when runner-up on last month's Newmarket debut.

(5) (4/1 +78%) Rust E Boy	4/1(+78%)	(5) Rust E Boy 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, eighth of 10 in novice (80/1) at Bath (5f, firm) 68 days ago. Makes handicap debut.
(2) (5/1 +17%) Cuban Secret	5/1(+17%)	(2) Cuban Secret 5/1, Off the mark at the third attempt in 8-runner novice event at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm, 12/1). Creditable third of 6 in nursery (7/1) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Respected.
(6) (9/1 +36%) Damia	9/1(+36%)	(6) Damia 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, first run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when last of 9 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good) 12 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Not easy to make a case for.

LTO Selection:

19:02 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

GAME BREAKER overcame a troubled passage when justifying favouritism on her nursery bow on Friday and the daughter of Soldier's Call is fancied to lift the flag once again. Cuban Secret may prove more competitive now dropped in class and could give the selection most to think about. Angel Shared's opening mark looks workable on her penultimate second at York and she could also have a say.

Penalised winners GAME BREAKER and Indication Spirit look the pair to focus on. The former showed much-improved form when justifying market confidence on her nursery bow at Thirsk so shades the vote.

This is a tight call between the two penalised runners in Indication Spirit and GAME BREAKER but the vote goes to the latter.

19:15 Galway Handicap Hurdle 16f - 18 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(19) (2.75/1 +50%) Aurora Princess	2.75/1(+50%)	(19) Aurora Princess 2.75/1, Fairly useful winner at 10f on Flat for Jessica Harrington. Has been brought along steadily over hurdles for current yard, badly hampered when sixth of 10 in handicap at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Headgear back on. Big shout with more to offer. 5-time flat winner on good ground but hurdles career pretty uneventful; hard to fancy.
(8) (6.5/1 +41%) Royal Eagle	6.5/1(+41%)	(8) Royal Eagle 6.5/1, C&D winner who posted a good second of 14 to Cottie in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good, 13/2) 45 days ago. Expected to be bang there off the same mark. Probably has a bit to find but only a 5yo so could do so.
(14) (7/1 +30%) Feet Of A Dancer	7/1(+30%)	(14) Feet Of A Dancer 7/1, Promising sort. One win from 3 runs last season. 13/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good) 42 days ago, going clear. Not taken lightly despite dropping back in trip. Improving 4yo unproven on soft but good prospects if handling it.
(4) (7/1 +56%) Calico	7/1(+56%)	(4) Calico 7/1, Career best when winning 8-runner novice hurdle (9/4) at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 8 days ago, driven clear. Much respected back in handicap company. Engaged 5.10 Galway Tuesday. Likes sharp tracks, decent third in C&D novice on Tuesday; plenty to do on handicap debut.
(11) (8/1 +27%) Vischio	8/1(+27%)	(11) Vischio 8/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Ballinrobe (12.6f, good to soft, 10/3) 9 days ago, having run of race. Switches from Flat to hurdles. On the upgrade recently so she's in the mix. In the form of her life on flat of late; likes tight tracks, would prefer better ground.
(3) (12/1 +25%) De Lady In Red	12/1(+25%)	(3) De Lady In Red 12/1, Respectable 14½ lengths eighth of 22 to Ballybawn Belter in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (17.7f, good to soft, 16/1) 178 days ago. Possibilities. Absent since midfield behind Ballybawn Belter at Leopardstown in February.
(6) (12/1 -60%) Banntown Girl	12/1(-60%)	(6) Banntown Girl 12/1, Landed the odds in 15-runner novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good to soft) 92 days ago, always holding on. Looks competitive on form back in handicap company. Ballinrobe maiden winner nicely in on her Leopardstown third to Ballybawn Belter.
(1) (14/1 +13%) Broomfield Hall	14/1(+13%)	(1) Broomfield Hall 14/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f in chases. Fell 9th in handicap chase (11/2) at Punchestown (21.2f, good to soft) 97 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and not ruled out. Absent since faller over fences at the Punchestown festival in April; has run well fresh.
(2) (14/1 -75%) Ballybawn Belter	14/1(-75%)	(2) Ballybawn Belter 14/1, 17/2, career best when winning 25-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft) 98 days ago, always holding on. Must enter calculations. Bagged two competitive handicaps last season; progressive but soft ground a concern.
(10) (16/1 -100%) Cottie	16/1(-100%)	(10) Cottie 16/1, 14/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) 45 days ago by 9 lengths from Royal Eagle, going with enthusiasm. Enters calculations despite 8 lb hike in the weights. Hammered Royal Eagle at Downpatrick; 8lb rise okay, not sure she is effective on soft.
(7) (18/1 -13%) A Law Of Her Own	18/1(-13%)	(7) A Law Of Her Own 18/1, 11/4, respectable third of 20 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (18.5f, heavy). Off 6 months. Visor on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Shortlisted. Long absence a concern but likely has more to offer entering handicaps.
(12) (22/1 -10%) Delante	22/1(-10%)	(12) Delante 22/1, 11/1, very good ¾-length second of 8 to Red Ball of Fire in handicap hurdle at Sligo (16.9f, good) 24 days ago. Can go well again. Sligo second to Red Ball Of Fire first effort of note for yard; French winner on soft.
(9) (28/1 -100%) Red Ball Of Fire	28/1(-100%)	(9) Red Ball Of Fire 28/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Sligo (16.9f, good, 3/1) 24 days ago by ¾ length from Delante. Needs considering despite 5 lb rise. Sligo specialist whose form is on better ground so others preferred.
(17) (28/1 -40%) Influential Lady	28/1(-40%)	(17) Influential Lady 28/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle (13/2) at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 8 days ago, kept up to work. One for the shortlist. Back to form for recent Ballinrobe win but ground may have gone against her.
(13) (28/1 -27%) Katherine	28/1(-27%)	(13) Katherine 28/1, Winner in hurdle at Tipperary in July. Bit below form 17½ lengths third of 8 to Calico in novice hurdle (15/2) at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 8 days ago so needs to bounce back. Plenty to find with Calico on Ballinrobe form now back in handicap company.
(18) (33/1 +18%) Hope Des Blins	33/1(+18%)	(18) Hope Des Blins 33/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, in second when fell 4 out in handicap chase at Killarney (17f, good) 12 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and not dismissed. Back hurdling after a fall over fences at Killarney; of limited appeal.
(15) (40/1 -21%) Bynx	40/1(-21%)	(15) Bynx 40/1, Winner in hurdle at Tramore in June. 6/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft) 19 days ago. More is needed. Tame Cork effort raises questions; back in trip here, soft ground no problem.
(20) (66/1 +0%) Frazel Express	66/1(+0%)	(20) Frazel Express 66/1, 50/1, fared better than of late when fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.6f, good) 8 days ago. Down in trip. Needs to build on it now. Wants further and 3lb out of handicap.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Galway Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BANNTOWN GIRL was placed for the second year running in a valuable mares' handicap at Leopardstown in February and has a sizeable pull at the weights with the winner Ballybawn Belter. Sonny Carey's charge got her head in front in a Ballinrobe maiden in May and will enjoy the soft ground. Delante, a half-sister to the dam of Douvan and Jonbon, won her only start in France on soft and showed her first bit of worthwhile Irish form when second to Red Ball Of Fire at Sligo. There should be more to come from her. The selection's Leopardstown conqueror Ballybawn Belter also hit the target at the Punchestown Festival in April. She's up another 7lb for that, and dropping back from 2m4f may not be ideal, but she is still a big player. Ready Downpatrick winner Cottie and Vischio, who has been in good form on the Flat, may both find underfoot conditions softer than ideal.

AURORA PRINCESS has been brought along steadily over hurdles since joining Emmet Mullins and this fairly useful winner on the level can take a big step forward on just her second handicap start now the headgear goes back on. Cottie and Royal Eagle came home 1-2 at Downpatrick last time and can fight it out for minor honours this time. Feet of A Dancer and Banntown Girl complete the shortlist in a very competitive handicap.

Very open with an each-way vote going to the improving 4yo FEET OF A DANCER

19:27 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 14f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(7) (0.67/1 +16%) Alhambra Palace	0.67/1(+16%)	(7) Alhambra Palace 0.67/1, Progressive sort who confirmed previous encouragement when off the mark in ready fashion at Ascot last time. Type to go on improving and looks well capable of defying a penalty. Off the mark in emphatic fashion at Ascot five days ago; 6lb penalty unlikely to stop him.
(5) (5/1 +17%) Kyle Of Lochalsh	5/1(+17%)	(5) Kyle Of Lochalsh 5/1, Promising sort who upped his game to open his account with something to spare at Newbury last time. Bred to do better still and looks a big player. Did it well when off the mark at Newbury last time; looks the type to carry on improving.
(1) (7/1 -40%) Grand Providence	7/1(-40%)	(1) Grand Providence 7/1, Nathaniel filly who is going the right way and supplemented her Kempton novice win with another improvement effort to score at Doncaster 26 days ago. Well respected in hat-trick bid. Bids for hat-trick off 3lb higher; no reason to believe progress has halted; sure to stay.
(3) (12/1 +25%) Roost	12/1(+25%)	(3) Roost 12/1, :Took a step forward making handicap debut upped to 12f at Doncaster recently, doing little wrong and beaten only by a probable stronger stayer. Didn't really back that up in first-time blinkers over C&D 78 days ago and headgear is quickly discarded. 0-5 but twice runner-up; latest effort can be excused; gelded since and could play a part.
(8) (12/1 +64%) Balboa	12/1(+64%)	(8) Balboa 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden who stepped forward from his handicap debut when fifth of 11 over C&D on final outing for Jamie Osborne. Needs improvement if he's to feature though. 0-5 and makes his debut for his new yard after 36,000gns sale; probably best watched.
(2) (18/1 -157%) Cavern Club	18/1(-157%)	(2) Cavern Club 18/1, Winner of an 11f Kempton nursery in December and creditable efforts so far this term, fourth at Newbury last time. Others look better treated, though. Hasn't always looked the easiest and others are more convincing.
(4) (20/1 +29%) Enochdhu	20/1(+29%)	(4) Enochdhu 20/1, Latest win at Windsor in May. 16/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive. Well held in last two starts; more exposed than his rivals and needs to bounce back.
(6) (40/1 -21%) Royal Deeside	40/1(-21%)	(6) Royal Deeside 40/1, Fair form in a minor event and 2 maidens last season, very much looking a stayer when fourth at Newmarket (10f) on his final outing at 2 yrs. Better for return when third at Doncaster last time and it's still early days, so he's not a forlorn hope. Well behind the runner-up when 3rd at Doncaster last time; 2lb drop is not enough to tempt.

LTO Selection:

19:27 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Grand Providence has won her last two starts and, as she remains unexposed, the three-year-old enters calculations. As does Roost, who has been gelded since he was last seen and he retains scope for progression. However, ALHAMBRA PALACE showed no signs of stopping when romping home over 1m4f at Ascot last Friday and a 6lb penalty might not be enough to prevent a follow-up success over this longer trip.

ALHAMBRA PALACE cleared away in taking fashion to open his account at Ascot 5 days ago and he's likely to go in again if the race doesn't come too soon. Kyle of Lochalsh fits a similar mould having improved to score at Newbury last time, so he's the main dagner ahead of Grand Providence.

The choice is ALHAMBRA PALACE who was so impressive when winning at Ascot five days ago. His 6lb penalty shouldn't stop him.

19:37 Leicester Stakes (Class 4) 7f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(9) (1.38/1 +61%) Welleef	1.38/1(+61%)	(9) Welleef 1.38/1, Lope De Vega colt. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 8.3f (stayed 1½m) Dowayla out of useful 7f winner Baheeja. Interesting newcomer for yard enjoying a fine spell. Has a good pedigree and he needs watching in market on debut.
(4) (3.33/1 -21%) Dubai Dreamer	3.33/1(-21%)	(4) Dubai Dreamer 3.33/1, Still in need of experience but again showed promise when third of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, soft, 7/4) 18 days ago. Should have more to offer. Showed promise when well-backed at Salisbury and he's open to more progress; respected.
(6) (4/1 +11%) Lohengrin	4/1(+11%)	(6) Lohengrin 4/1, 50,000 gns foal, Ulysses gelding. Brother to Australian 7f winner Wrathful. Yard's newcomers always command respect and the betting should prove a useful guide. Wears tongue strap. 50,000gns foal; has plenty of stamina on dam's side but he needs a close look on debut.
(3) (5/1 -67%) Crown Dreams	5/1(-67%)	(3) Crown Dreams 5/1, Oasis Dream gelding. Fair form when second of 6 in maiden at Haydock (7f) on debut 12 days ago, pushed along over 2f out and plugging on. May build on that in a novice lacking depth. Clear second at Haydock (7f, good to soft) on his debut last month and he's a key player.
(2) (20/1 -25%) Charencey	20/1(-25%)	(2) Charencey 20/1, €350,000 yearling, £32,000 3-y-o, Lope De Vega gelding. Dam, winner up to 1¼m (including Park Express Stakes and 7f winner at 2 yrs), half-sister to Grand Prix de Paris winner Mont Ormel. Market should guide on debut. Has a striking pedigree but his price dropped to £32,000 in March; market should guide.
(5) (20/1 -25%) King Of Fury	20/1(-25%)	(5) King Of Fury 20/1, 37,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner gelding. Brother to winner abroad. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Rajasinghe. Another to note in the betting for clues on debut. Yard 2-35 in novice events and he's probably one for further down the line.
(10) (28/1 -180%) Glencalvie	28/1(-180%)	(10) Glencalvie 28/1, Displayed plenty of ability when runner-up to a fairly useful sort on debut at Lingfield (1m) in November. Disappointed back from 6 months off at Windsor (1m) in May and has since switched yards. Needs to bounce back. Promising second on debut but disappointing in final run for Ralph Beckett; bit to prove.
(13) (50/1 -213%) Kinky Boots	50/1(-213%)	(13) Kinky Boots 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford (6f) in February, no extra final 1f. Placed in two AW maidens but this is much tougher switched to turf after 181 days off.
(15) (50/1 -150%) Polar Rock	50/1(-150%)	(15) Polar Rock 50/1, Fascinating Rock filly. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class 7f winner (would have stayed 1m) Fast Company. Worth a precautionary market check on debut for clues. Has fair target to aim at on debut and yard is 0-37 in novice events this year.
(8) (100/1 -52%) Time Patrol	100/1(-52%)	(8) Time Patrol 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1, last of 6 in minor event at Kempton (6f) on debut 13 months ago. Gelded ahead of return/yard debut but he can only be watched. Showed very little in his sole 2yo run for another yard; gelded last October.
(11) (100/1 -52%) Gracious Grace	100/1(-52%)	(11) Gracious Grace 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Again in process of showing little when brought down in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 150/1) 53 days ago. Can only be watched. Has not shown much in her three runs and remains best watched for now.
(1) (125/1 -25%) Andarax	125/1(-25%)	(1) Andarax 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time and gelded, first run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when last of 11 in minor event (150/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 12 days ago, always behind. Tailed off in both his runs, most recently on his stable debut at Newmarket 12 days ago.
(7) (125/1 -25%) Moon Friend	125/1(-25%)	(7) Moon Friend 125/1, Well held both starts last year, thirteenth of 15 in minor event at this course (6f, good to soft, 200/1) when last seen in October. Needs to show much more as he returns from 9 months off. Has stacks to find on his return and minor handicaps look the way forward after this.
(14) (150/1 -50%) Madge McSplash	150/1(-50%)	(14) Madge McSplash 150/1, Offered little in 2 starts in May, thirteenth of 14 in minor event at Haydock (1m, good to firm) 68 days ago, ridden over 3f out and left behind. Low-grade handicaps entitled to be more her bag. Big prices and she finished out the back in her two runs (7f/1m) in May; passed over.
(12) (200/1 -300%) Grainne O Maille	200/1(-300%)	(12) Grainne O Maille 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 7 in maiden (66/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) on debut 48 days ago, weakening over 1f out. 66-1 and was a remote last of seven at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) on her debut in June.

LTO Selection:

19:37 Leicester Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CROWN DREAMS posted an eye-catching effort on his debut at Haydock 12 days ago and while he was no match for the winner that day, he created the impression that he will have plenty of success moving forward. His experience over the trip, with similar ground forecast, should set him up nicely for tonight's task. Dubai Dreamer and well-bred newcomer Welleef also merit consideration.

DUBAI DREAMER again looked a work-in-progress but showed definite promise when third in a Salisbury novice (7f) 18 days ago, and with potential for better still, he could be worth chancing to take another step forward. Welleef and Lohengrin are a couple of interesting newcomers and both need monitoring for their respective yards. Crown Dreams, runner-up on debut at Haydock, is another to note.

Preference is for CROWN DREAMS, who made a promising start when runner-up behind a useful rival at Haydock two weeks ago.

19:50 Galway Maiden Hurdle 21f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(9) (0.8/1 +54%) High Class Hero	0.8/1(+54%)	(9) High Class Hero 0.8/1, 11/10, won 11-runner bumper at Listowel (20f, good) on NH debut 58 days ago, readily. Excellent prospect who is worth chancing to make a successful start over hurdles. Listowel bumper win reads well; potentially smart novice hurdler and Townend's pick.
(3) (3.5/1 -5%) Arabian Diamond	3.5/1(-5%)	(3) Arabian Diamond 3.5/1, Promising sort. 2/1, improved when winning 12-runner bumper at Sligo (18f, good) 24 days ago. Considerately handled on sole previous run over hurdles and should improve markedly returned to this sphere. Sligo bumper winner will surely improve on one previous hurdles run.
(14) (4/1 -60%) Tag Man	4/1(-60%)	(14) Tag Man 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Good fourth of 9 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft, 3/1) 98 days ago. Solid claims. Form to be closely involved but needs to settle to see out this trip.
(2) (8/1 +43%) Alvaniy	8/1(+43%)	(2) Alvaniy 8/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 8 in bumper (15/2) at Ballinrobe (17.4f, soft) 110 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Paul Gammell. Strength in the betting would be significant. Bit surprising he starts out hurdling over such a trip but respected all the same.
(5) (9/1 -20%) Black Bamboo	9/1(-20%)	(5) Black Bamboo 9/1, Promising individual. Creditable second of 15 in novice hurdle at Killarney (20f, good, 7/2) 13 days ago. Open to improvement and can't be ruled out. Recent Killarney comeback second augurs well; more likely needed though.
(10) (50/1 -52%) Josies Dylan	50/1(-52%)	(10) Josies Dylan 50/1, Dylan Thomas gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Wilde About Oscar, stays 23f, and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Asockastar, stayed 3½m. Maiden pointer, runner-up last time (May 2022). Second in a point'; worth a market check but is likely to find easier maiden opportunities.
(11) (66/1 -100%) Phoenix Cowboy	66/1(-100%)	(11) Phoenix Cowboy 66/1, Useful Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving G. M. Lyons when fifteenth of 20 in handicap (80/1) at this course (16.8f, heavy) 2 days ago. Quite smart on flat for Ger Lyons but well beaten here on Monday; wants better ground.
(21) (80/1 +20%) Mogo Man	80/1(+20%)	(21) Mogo Man 80/1, Champs Elysees gelding. Closely related to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Thorpe and half-brother to a winner on Flat. Flat-bred newcomer best watched if getting a run; reserve.
(8) (80/1 -21%) Get It Right	80/1(-21%)	(8) Get It Right 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 15 in novice hurdle (7/1) at Sligo (16.9f, good) on hurdles bow 24 days ago. Up in trip. Others preferred. Tailed off on recent hurdles debut; best watched.
(6) (100/1 +0%) Farewellchancer	100/1(+0%)	(6) Farewellchancer 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Twelfth of 14 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) on NH debut 20 days ago. Never sighted on last month's Ballinrobe debut; best watched for now.
(19) (100/1 -203%) Meyo	100/1(-203%)	(19) Meyo 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 14/1, fifth of 15 in novice hurdle at Cork (24f, good to soft) on NH debut 19 days ago. Unlikely to get involved. Encouraging enough Cork debut last month but lots of improvement likely needed to feature.
(7) (125/1 +17%) Free Parking	125/1(+17%)	(7) Free Parking 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle (11/1) at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Runner-up in a point but has shown pretty much nothing so far under rules.
(4) (125/1 +38%) Athgaine Monarch	125/1(+38%)	(4) Athgaine Monarch 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 18/1, eleventh of 15 in bumper at Listowel (20f, soft) on NH debut. Off over 2 years. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving Padraig Roche. Tailed off in Listowel bumper nearly 3 years ago for Padraig Roche; can only be watched.
(16) (150/1 -127%) Truckers Fame	150/1(-127%)	(16) Truckers Fame 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Hooded, tenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (18f, soft, 12/1) on NH debut 12 days ago. Beaten a long way on hurdles debut at Kilbeggan recently; will need more time.
(12) (200/1 -33%) Righteous Ruane	200/1(-33%)	(12) Righteous Ruane 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 200/1, fell in novice hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 13 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Poor form in bumpers ans maiden hurdles.
(17) (200/1 +0%) Hollymount Dream	200/1(+0%)	(17) Hollymount Dream 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Tongue strap on, ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good, 150/1) on NH debut 8 days ago. Up in trip. Hooded for 1st time. Didn't show a whole lot on recent hurdles debut; hooded here but easily passed over.

LTO Selection:

19:50 Galway Maiden Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A winning point-to-pointer in late 2021, HIGH CLASS HERO overcame a long absence to score on his Rules debut in a Listowel bumper last month. He beat a useful type who has subsequently won his first two starts over hurdles very easily and seems sure to stay this trip, with that bumper win having come over 2m4f. Paul Townend's mount is clearly Wille Mullins' main hope, although stablemates All The Others and Alvaniy have both shown enough in bumpers to be contenders if they take to hurdles. Tag Man's Leopardstown second to subsequent Grade 1 winner Good Land is an eyecatching line of form and a mark of 130 sets a very good standard. There was little wrong with his latest run in a winners' contest at Punchestown, but he will need to settle better to see out this trip. Arabian Diamond was around a dozen lengths behind Tag Man when sixth in a Fairyhouse maiden on debut and shaped like a strong stayer when routing his rivals in a Sligo bumper last time.

HIGH CLASS HERO has already won a point and made a big impression when readily going clear to score in a bumper at Listowel a couple of months ago, so he's worth a chance to make a successful transition to hurdling. Arabian Diamond has plenty of potential returning to hurdling and he's considered a big threat, while Tag Man has the best hurdling form on show, so he's another big player.

A ready winner over a decent sort in his bumper win HIGH CLASS HERO (nap) looks the one here on hurdles debut

20:02 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 9f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(6) (1.38/1 +83%) Hakuna Babe	1.38/1(+83%)	(6) Hakuna Babe 1.38/1, Fair maiden. Creditable fourth of 11 to Measured Moments in handicap at Leicester (10f, good) 13 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up again. 4th to Measured Moments at Leicester last time and is 5lb better off; needs to find more.
(5) (2.5/1 +62%) Measured Moments	2.5/1(+62%)	(5) Measured Moments 2.5/1, Got off the mark for the season in 11-runner handicap at Leicester (10f, good) 13 days ago. Reliable sort who can go well again. Showed she could act on turf when winning at Leicester last time; respected off 5lb higher.
(1) (5/1 +9%) Prenup	5/1(+9%)	(1) Prenup 5/1, In excellent form for his current yard this term, scoring at Wolverhampton and Newbury. Posted another solid effort when fourth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (8f, soft) 18 days ago so needs considering. Two wins for this yard since returning in March but she may prefer the ground to dry out.
(3) (5/1 +23%) Ellade	5/1(+23%)	(3) Ellade 5/1, It's now eleven runs since her last win but she posted a good second of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago, despite conceding first run. Expected to be bang there off an unchanged mark. Back to form when second at Chepstow last time and one for the shortlist from same mark.
(9) (18/1 +45%) Aurora Charm	18/1(+45%)	(9) Aurora Charm 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden, best effort when fourth of 11 in minor event at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 37 days ago on her final run for Roger Varian. Hood back on and not discounted on her yard/handicap debut. Makes stable/handicap debut; can't be dismissed with the possibility of further progress.
(7) (33/1 +34%) Bijjlee	33/1(+34%)	(7) Bijjlee 33/1, Fair maiden at her best in UAE. Hooded on yard debut when only tenth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 50 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward now stepping up in trip. 0-6 in the UAE and well beaten on stable debut at Southwell in June; others preferred.

LTO Selection:

20:02 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Prenup has run with credit since joining Jane Chapple-Hyam and, having been nudged down 1lb after another respectable effort at Ascot last month, she remains of interest, despite the burden of top weight. However, BERNADINE has a live chance on these terms and, with her weight-for-age allowance boosting the appeal, the three-year-old is taken to confirm Ascot form with the aforementioned filly. Leicester-scorer Measured Moments also makes the shortlist.

ELLADE comes here on a lengthy losing run but shaped well when runner-up at Chepstow last time and can race off the same mark so edges the vote. Bernadine is feared most on the back of her good Ascot second, although D Day Odette, Measured Moments and Hakuna Babe all need factoring into a competitive handicap too.

This can go to BERNADINE, a three-time winner this year who probably put up her best effort when second at Ascot last time.

20:12 Leicester Handicap (Class 4) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(5) (4.5/1 +68%) Super Den	4.5/1(+68%)	(5) Super Den 4.5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year, latest at Chelmsford City in February. Run best excused when eighth of 13 in handicap at York (7.9f, good, 14/1) 5 days ago, denied a run over 2f out. Triple AW winner but he's 0-12 on turf and has been well held in both runs this season.
(7) (4.5/1 +31%) Mahanakhon	4.5/1(+31%)	(7) Mahanakhon 4.5/1, Winner at Wetherby in April. 12/1, wasted no time getting back to form when third of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. Bounced back with a close third at Pontefract and he's on same mark here; respected.
(4) (5.5/1 -144%) Bashful	5.5/1(-144%)	(4) Bashful 5.5/1, Has thrived with cheekpieces back on (also had wind op prior to his penultimate start), completing his hat-trick in 5-runner handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good, 11/4) 13 days ago. Just 1 lb higher here so he's not taken lightly in his bid for a 4-timer. Hat-trick seeker who is only 1lb higher than for his last win and is a major player again.
(8) (5.5/1 +31%) Grand Libya	5.5/1(+31%)	(8) Grand Libya 5.5/1, Consistent performer who posted another solid effort when third of 10 at Windsor in June, well placed in a steadily-run affair. A rare blip on his part at Newmarket last time but can get back on track after a month off. Has claims on his best form but he was disappointing last time and is now 0-10.
(1) (6.5/1 -95%) Pillar Of Hope	6.5/1(-95%)	(1) Pillar Of Hope 6.5/1, Low-mileage 5-y-o who stepped up on his reappearance run when getting on top close home at Beverley (8.5f) in April. Similar form when fourth from 2 lb higher mark in Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (10f) in May and not seen to best effect at Carlisle since. Record of 3-11 but he's not easy to predict and was disappointing latest; risks attached.
(2) (7.5/1 -25%) Young Fire	7.5/1(-25%)	(2) Young Fire 7.5/1, 3 wins from 12 runs this year, latest at Haydock in June. Ran poorly when eighth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (8f, soft, 9/1) 11 days ago. Needs to bounce back quickly. Three wins this year but he's gone off the boil in last two runs and others are preferred.
(3) (8/1 +0%) Shaladar	8/1(+0%)	(3) Shaladar 8/1, Blinkered for 1st time, below form when seventh of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft, 8/1) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and is edging back down to his last winning mark. Generally consistent type and he had an excuse in new headgear last time; in the mix.
(6) (10/1 +9%) Verona Star	10/1(+9%)	(6) Verona Star 10/1, Made a winning debut in late-2021 and ran well returning from 20 months off at Wolverhampton in June. 11/1, seventh of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago. Remains early days so not ruled out. Still unexposed but was well held last time and he needs to kick on again at this new trip.
(9) (33/1 +18%) Jenson Benson	33/1(+18%)	(9) Jenson Benson 33/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Again ran poorly after 12 weeks off when tailed-off last there (10f, 50/1) 8 days ago. This a rare outing on turf these days so he's probably best watched. All four wins have been at Chelmsford but he's finished last there in his last two runs.

LTO Selection:

20:12 Leicester Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

BASHFUL, who has won his last three starts in a progressive manner, retains a competitive mark based on his peak efforts and looks the one to be with here. The five-year-old showed resilience when challenged near the finish at Hamilton last time and, off just 1lb higher, he is hard to ignore in his bid to extend the winning sequence. Mahanakhon rates a big threat now tried with cheekpieces, while Grand Libya is dangerous to underestimate.

A few in with a squeak but BASHFUL is in the form of his life at present so Iain Jardine's 5-y-o gets the vote to bring up an impressive 4-timer having been nudged up just 1 lb for his recent Hamilton success. Mahanakhon wasted no time getting back to form when a close third under this rider at Pontefract 12 days ago so he may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Pillar of Hope and Shaladar.

The vote goes to BASHFUL (nap), who has won his last three starts and is only 1lb higher than when scoring at Hamilton last time.

20:20 Galway Handicap Hurdle 22f - 20 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(10) (1.62/1 +49%) We'llhavewan	1.62/1(+49%)	(10) We'llhavewan 1.62/1, 11/4, career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) 64 days ago, forging clear. Significantly up in trip and more to come for leading yard. Ballinrobe comeback win in May couldn't have worked out better; 12lb higher but respected.
(3) (7/1 +22%) Thornleigh Frank	7/1(+22%)	(3) Thornleigh Frank 7/1, Promising sort. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle (11/4) at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 12 days ago. Handicapper reacted with 15 lb rise but he's improving fast and this trip may unlock even more. Hat-trick seeker could have more to offer now upped in trip; handles soft.
(5) (8/1 +11%) Shanwalla	8/1(+11%)	(5) Shanwalla 8/1, Course winner. Second of 15 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Tipperary (20f, good to soft) 27 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. That was a positive run and a tongue tie goes on for the first time. Won at this meeting in 2021 and he looks a big player. 2021 winner off 4lb higher; Tipperary comeback second augurs well.
(16) (9/1 -50%) Something Abouther	9/1(-50%)	(16) Something Abouther 9/1, 5/4, career best when winning 18-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (22f, good) 53 days ago, forging clear. Makes handicap hurdle debut and she's unexposed over this distance. Improved for this trip at Punchestown; interesting contender now switched to handicaps.
(20) (10/1 +0%) Fancy A Cosmo	10/1(+0%)	(20) Fancy A Cosmo 10/1, 15/2, won 14-runner novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, good to soft) 26 days ago, well on top finish. Not taken lightly back in handicap company. Wexford maiden winner faces tough enough back in handicap company off 7lb higher.
(22) (11/1 +0%) Ardhill	11/1(+0%)	(22) Ardhill 11/1, 5/2, second of 7 in handicap chase at Downpatrick (23.5f, good to soft) 46 days ago, clear of rest. Switches from chase to hurdles. Looks competitive on form. RESERVE. Promising comeback run in June; retains ability and interesting if he gets a run; reserve.
(19) (14/1 +50%) Coventry	14/1(+50%)	(19) Coventry 14/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fifth of 12 in claiming hurdle at Roscommon (20f, good to soft, 7/2) 23 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Has work to do. Regressive sort remains opposable unless new surroundings have invigorated him.
(17) (16/1 -45%) Moonovercloon	16/1(-45%)	(17) Moonovercloon 16/1, Latest win in hurdle at Downpatrick in June. Backed that effort up when third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft, 9/4) 19 days ago. Too keen at Kilbeggan last time and only previous effort at this inconclusive.
(4) (18/1 -80%) Miss Tempo	18/1(-80%)	(4) Miss Tempo 18/1, Career best when winning 19-runner handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24.3f, good to soft, 8/1) 90 days ago, kept up to work. Up 12 lb in his quest for the hat-trick but she's in top hands. Hat-trick seeker has been waiting for the softer ground; respected.
(6) (18/1 +10%) Zoffany Bay	18/1(+10%)	(6) Zoffany Bay 18/1, Won 8-runner handicap at Tramore (12f, good to soft, 11/8) 22 days ago, always holding on. that confirms he's in good heart having pulled up twice over hurdles in the spring. Recent flat winner goes well on soft; could go well if staying this longer trip.
(14) (22/1 +12%) Bella Bliss	22/1(+12%)	(14) Bella Bliss 22/1, Latest win in hurdle at Down Royal in May. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) 45 days ago. Never travelled at Downpatrick; trip okay, ideally wants better ground.
(9) (25/1 -56%) Ossifer Hops	25/1(-56%)	(9) Ossifer Hops 25/1, Winner in hurdle at Downpatrick in May. 10/3, respectable third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (20f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Looked pretty hard work on that occasions so cheekpieces may help. Step up in trip could suit and cheekpieces fitted so 5yo a potential improver.
(13) (28/1 -12%) A Great View	28/1(-12%)	(13) A Great View 28/1, Below form eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (20f, good to soft, 8/1) 27 days ago, needing stiffer test of stamina. Gets the here and blinkers replace cheekpieces. Trip inadequate last time, prospects on best form but veteran opposable.
(8) (33/1 -50%) Hartur D'arc	33/1(-50%)	(8) Hartur D'arc 33/1, Latest win in hurdle at Wexford in May. Respectable seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Tipperary (20f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Tongue strap on first time and he looks a shade too high in the weights. Plenty of improvement needed from recent handicap debut effort; tongue tie fitted.
(1) (40/1 -150%) Building Bridges	40/1(-150%)	(1) Building Bridges 40/1, 12/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20.4f, good) 61 days ago by 2½ lengths from Ossifer Hops, kept up to work. 9 lb rise asks for more. Down Royal comeback win over Ossifer Hops; more needed again.
(11) (40/1 -150%) Big Debates	40/1(-150%)	(11) Big Debates 40/1, Two wins from 6 runs last season. Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in December. Creditable fifth of 25 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft) 98 days ago. Lower in the weights over timber compared to chase mark. Better chaser but Punchestown festival hurdle run puts him in the mix; soft ground suits.
(7) (50/1 -25%) Another Choice	50/1(-25%)	(7) Another Choice 50/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good, 4/1) 44 days ago. Hood on first time and this isn't an easy race to bounce back in. Too keen and didn't get home when pulled up on comeback run; hooded and chance if settling.
(12) (66/1 -100%) Glenquin Castle	66/1(-100%)	(12) Glenquin Castle 66/1, Course winner. Seven wins in a prolific 2021. 25/1, sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Down Royal (24f, soft). Off 6 months. Switches from chase to hurdles and market may guide. Progressive in 2021 but largely well held last term; others preferred.
(21) (66/1 -65%) Snugsborough Benny	66/1(-65%)	(21) Snugsborough Benny 66/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2019. Respectable sixth of 15 in handicap chase (20/1) at Ballinrobe (23f, good) 65 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. RESERVE.

(2) (66/1 +0%) Purple Mountain	66/1(+0%)	(2) Purple Mountain 66/1, Course winner. Ninth of 17 in maiden (50/1) at Leopardstown (15f, good) on Flat debut 41 days ago.

20:20 Galway Handicap Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Another devilishly competitive handicap, but SOMETHING ABOUTHER is interesting from an initial mark of 114. Padraig Roche's mare won her only bumper start on soft ground and relished the step up in trip to 2m6f when landing a Punchestown maiden last month. She'll come up the hill well if in the same form and is open to plenty of improvement. Fancy A Cosmo represents a stable in form and was placed on soft ground at this venue in the autumn. He put his handicap experience to good use when easily landing a Wexford maiden in early July. We'llhavewan beat a pair of subsequent winners at Ballinrobe in May and has won over 2m5f in the past. He's up 12lb for that latest win but there could well be more to come. Thornleigh Frank and Miss Tempo are both on a hat-trick but have risen sharply in the ratings.

Any number to consider but THORNLEIGH FRANK is improving at a rate of knots and with this trip expected to be within range, he is taken to shrug off another hefty rise in the weights. Something Abouther and We'llhavewan head the list of dangers, though Shanwalla, a winner at the meeting in 2021, also demands respect.

Preference is for WE'LLHAVEWAN, whose Ballinrobe win couldn't have worked out better and is proven over this trip and on soft

20:32 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(7) (1.5/1 -20%) Eastern Charm	1.5/1(-20%)	(7) Eastern Charm 1.5/1, Progressive from a low base this term, gaining third success from last 4 starts back on AW at Chelmsford (1m) last month. This undoubtedly tougher back on turf but she's in excellent hands and further progress distinctly possible. Has won three from four since returning; progressing steadily but takes on better company.
(1) (3.33/1 +52%) Palamon	3.33/1(+52%)	(1) Palamon 3.33/1, Promise on first of 3 starts in novice/maiden company and, having been gelded, shaped better than bare result when fifth on handicap debut at Bath (1m) in June (reportedly finished lame). Remains with potential to do better and market support behind him would look significant. Hasn't built on a promising debut and finished lame last time; enough to prove.
(5) (6.5/1 +28%) Loddon	6.5/1(+28%)	(5) Loddon 6.5/1, Fair form on 2 of his 3 starts in maiden/novice events at up to 10f since the spring and she had soft ground as a plausible excuse on handicap debut at Salisbury (9.9f) 18 days ago. Yard enjoying a good spell and she's not one to write off. May have found 1m2f in soft ground too much last time and had shown ability before that.
(2) (7.5/1 +25%) City Cyclone	7.5/1(+25%)	(2) City Cyclone 7.5/1, Fair maiden who is beginning to look exposed and he faded out of things back from a short break on yard debut at Newbury (1m) 12 days ago. Eased 2 lb ahead of this but others make greater appeal. Placed three times in novices for the Kublers but held in both handicaps; more needed.
(8) (9/1 +44%) Italian Magic	9/1(+44%)	(8) Italian Magic 9/1, Offered something to work on in trio of 1m novice events but easy to back and ultimately finished well held on handicap debut at Newbury (1m, firm) back in June. Return to this forecast easier ground may help with cheekpieces now enlisted. Hasn't built on a fairly promising debut at Nottingham in April; cheekpieces on.
(4) (11/1 +8%) Dicko The Legend	11/1(+8%)	(4) Dicko The Legend 11/1, Displayed promise on first of 3 novice outings for Joseph Parr as a juvenile. Gelded/switched yard, possibly needed the run on handicap debut at Leicester (7f) 5 weeks ago, weakening gradually. Needs to leave that behind if he's to figure. Regressed in three starts for another yard last year and little on stable/handicap debut.
(6) (14/1 +0%) H Key Lails	14/1(+0%)	(6) H Key Lails 14/1, Dual winner on AW for Craig Lidster and solid start for new yard (acquired for £16,000) when second at Brighton (7f) on penultimate run last month. Not in same form at Epsom (7f) 13 days ago, however. Two AW wins this year but ran well on turf on stable debut; latest effort can be forgiven.

20:32 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

EASTERN CHARM's narrow winning margin at Chelmsford last time doesn't tell the whole story as she was running on strongly at the finish, creating the impression that there is plenty more to come from the William Haggas-trained filly. With Adam Farragher's claim effectively cancelling out her 2lb rise, she has a live chance of following up this evening. H Key Lails, who steps back up in trip, and the unexposed handicapper Playupskyblues appeal most from the opposition.

EASTERN CHARM has made a bright start to her 3-y-o campaign from a low base, making it 3 wins from 4 starts at Chelmsford (1m) 24 days ago, and, with her rider's claim off-setting her latest weight rise, she earns the vote to enhance her already impressive strike rate. Playupskyblues and Palamon, who remains the type to do better, are others to consider.

The vote goes to PLAYUPSKYBLUES who ran better on his first start since wind surgery when sixth in a big field at Newbury last time.

Form	Odds	Runs
(5) (0.67/1 -8%) Selenachorus	0.67/1(-8%)	(5) Selenachorus 0.67/1, Took another step forward when getting off the mark in 7-runner handicap (5/2) at this C&D (soft) a week ago, leading 3f out and cruising clear. Can follow up under a penalty. Won eased down by 11l over C&D last week and looks very well treated under a penalty.
(2) (4.5/1 +44%) Ancient Capital	4.5/1(+44%)	(2) Ancient Capital 4.5/1, After 11 months off, ran well when third of 10 in handicap at Newbury (13.3f, good to firm, 18/1) 20 days ago, albeit having run of race. Could do better with his reappearance run behind him. Back from a lengthy absence with a bid bid at Newbury; respected on this drop back in trip.
(9) (7.5/1 -25%) Pfingstberg	7.5/1(-25%)	(9) Pfingstberg 7.5/1, Still green and ran to a similar level as previously when third of 12 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good, 3/1) 2 weeks ago. Remains capable of better. Good third at Bath (11.6f, good) last time and he's respected off an unchanged mark.
(1) (8.5/1 +29%) Scotch Mist	8.5/1(+29%)	(1) Scotch Mist 8.5/1, Ran creditably on handicap debut when fifth of 11 at this course (10f, good, 15/2) 13 days ago. Can give another good account as she goes up in trip. Still lightly raced but she needs improvement at this new trip.
(4) (10/1 +0%) Rose Camira	10/1(+0%)	(4) Rose Camira 10/1, Opened her account at Nottingham in June and ran at least as well when third of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good to soft, 6/1) 25 days ago. Merits consideration. Held in her bid for a Nottingham double last time and she needs more back at this trip.
(3) (28/1 +0%) Liberated Lad	28/1(+0%)	(3) Liberated Lad 28/1, Run best excused when seventh of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good to firm, 6/1) 13 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Others still preferred. Just 1-17 in Flat turf events and well held in three runs for his current yard.
(6) (40/1 -60%) Papa Ricco	40/1(-60%)	(6) Papa Ricco 40/1, Winner at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) in April. However, he hasn't gone on from that effort since, fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW,12/1) 32 days ago. Hood/cheekpieces now reached for. Won at Nottingham in April but has been well held after slow starts in three runs since.
(7) (100/1 -150%) Show Me The Wire	100/1(-150%)	(7) Show Me The Wire 100/1, Down the field in a trio of starts so far, ninth of 11 in minor event (250/1) at Chelmsford City (1m) 69 days ago (gelded since). Needs to leave previous efforts behind as he goes up in trip for handicap debut. Still early days but he needs a transformation on his handicap debut; been gelded.
(8) (125/1 -150%) Leazy Lindsay	125/1(-150%)	(8) Leazy Lindsay 125/1, Little impact in 3 outings this year, fifth of 6 in maiden at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm, 150/1) 35 days ago. Much more required as she goes handicapping. Has not shown much so far and this looks a tough assignment on her handicap debut.

20:42 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

It's difficult to get away from SELENACHORUS, whose 11-length success over course and distance last week is the strongest piece of form on offer. The daughter of Sea The Moon has bags of scope for progression in handicaps and a 6lb penalty is unlikely to stop the forward momentum. Rose Camira is interesting dropping back in trip and, along with the lightly-weighted Pfingstberg, can give the selection something to think about.

On her second handicap start, SELENACHORUS improved again when a wide-margin winner at this C&D a week ago and a penalty might not be enough to prevent her from following up. Ancient Capital made an encouraging reappearance and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Rose Camira.

This can go to SELENACHORUS, who trounced her rivals in a C&D handicap last week and looks very well treated under a penalty.

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.
