LEWIS BARNES returned to form when a close third over 5f at Chelmsford last month and the five-year-old is arguably the one to beat off the same mark here. A slow start didn't help So Sleepy when she was third over C&D recently and she should not be discounted. Battle Point has plenty to prove right now, so Zeno is best of the rest.

LEWIS BARNES wasted no time getting back on track when third at Chelmsford 20 days ago and he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. He is taken to get the better of So Sleepy, who is now 1 lb below her last winning mark but could do with brushing up her starts.

Ready preference is for LEWIS BARNES. He put in a good shift either side of seemingly not handling the Brighton track two runs ago.
Class & Speed Card

Champion apprentice title contenders Sean D Bowen and Jack Doughty pick up plum rides and while the former is noted back aboard Soldiers Design for the first time since the filly broke her maiden at Brighton in April, this can go the way of the progressive WRESTLING REVENUE. With a very similar profile, there is very little to choose between the joint top-weights on form. However, Doughty claiming 2lb more than his title rival could be the decisive factor. Smooth Silesie completes the shortlist.

WRESTLING REVENUE was quickly back on track when second in a better race than this at Brighton 4 weeks ago and is preferred to Smooth Silesie, who arrives on the back of a career-best win at Chelmsford.

Wrestling Revenue is high on the list but SOLDIERS DESIGN (nap) could yet have more to offer for her new stable.
Class & Speed Card

RED CLOUD has filled second place on both starts since winning over 1m2f at Chepstow in June and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the gelding to go one better. Miss Dubai has been running consistently well of late and could make the frame once again, while the unexposed Sea La Venus merits consideration in a first-time hood.

A final chance is given to SEA LA VENUS, who disappointed for a second successive start at Ripon last month but she's back on a more conventional track and a first-time hood could well eke out that bit extra. Red Cloud heads up the dangers on just his second all-weather outing, with Miss Dubai another fancied to go well, too.

Tom Queally's mount RED CLOUD (nap) is the form pick and has the tactical speed to cope with what is likely to be a messy race.
Class & Speed Card

This ground is drying out all the time and ELUSIVE PRINCE will handle it. He won his point-to-point on good ground, and his track career has seen him placed in two of his last three races over flights. The Mediator rallied for third over further in Downpatrick and that form has been franked, so he should be a threat. Clonshire River has the same rating of 112 as Elusive Prince and has plenty of experience in this discipline, while Has Me Dreaming stayed on for a somewhat remote third on hurdling debut at Roscommon and should be better for that experience. Cork bumper winner Nowwhatdoyouthink is one for a market check on hurdling bow.

This can go to ELUSIVE PRINCE, who acquitted himself well at Tramore last time and remains low mileage. Clonshire River and The Mediator rate the principal dangers.

An ordinary enough maiden hurdle with a chance taken on hurdles debutant NOTWHATDOYOUTHINK from an in-form yard
Class & Speed Card

Just the two go to post now and Secret Of Love encountered some well-bred fillies when sixth on her introduction at Newmarket. She is noted now dropped in class. CARDINAL POINT, whose dam is a half-sister to Melbourne Cup winner Cross Counter, is more interesting on debut for the powerful Charlie Appleby yard and is taken to get her career off to the best possible start.

Godolphin newcomer CARDINAL POINT makes obvious appeal on paper and with her yard boasting a 33% strike rate with their juveniles on all-weather this year, she could be the way to go. Secret of Love, ought to have derived a good deal from her debut run, so market confidence behind her would look significant in what is now a match.

Charlie Appleby has a fine record here and CARDINAL POINT is taken to make a winning debut.
Class & Speed Card

A C&D winner on her penultimate start, MISS GITANA's hat-trick bid was foiled when she finished third on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton last month. However, back on the turf for this assignment, Sir Mark Prescott's filly has a live chance of getting straight back to winning ways. A Gift Of Love and Maritime Lady also have scope to improve over the trip and look to be the main dangers.

PERCY JONES has been acquitting himself well in stronger handicaps than this and, with the step back up in trip promising to suit, he's fancied to bounce back from a rare-below par effort and make the most of the drop in grade. Miss Gitana has proven to be steadily progressive and ought to remain competitive at this sort of level, with Rockit Tommy also worth a second look following a good effort at Kempton 3 weeks ago.

The suggestion is MISS GITANA, who has both C&D winning form and an age allowance on her side and looks the best option.
Class & Speed Card

CATHEDRAL's price tag increased from 110,000gns as a yearling to 800,000 euros at a breeze-up sale earlier this year. With that in mind, this half-sister to the Group 3-placed Firebird merits plenty of respect. Sarteano is from the family of Group 1 winner Havana Gold and she should not be discounted, while Warm Summer and Best Of All also make the shortlist.

The market is often a good guide to these newcomer events but CATHEDRAL is the standout given her Group 1 entry and how much she fetched at the Arqana May Breeze-Up. Best of All and Warm Summer are other likely types.

800,000euros breeze-up buy CATHEDRAL, who holds a Group 1 entry in Ireland the weekend after next, could be the answer.
Class & Speed Card

HEY WHATEVER could be up to defying top-weight. Gordon Elliott's filly made the breakthrough at a similar undulating track at Downpatrick in July, when proving determined over a further trip, and she clearly enjoyed the better ground that day. Arthur's Victory has won three times on the Flat and put in her best display over hurdles when third over C&D in August which gives her claims. Similar sentiments apply to Thebeautifulgame, who was much better in third at Downpatrick. Sayitfirst is certainly another to consider, while there is likely to be more to come from Walk In The Park filly Cornamona Park in handicaps.

DESTIVELLE shaped as if needing the run at Ballinrobe on return and is potentially on a nice mark if building on that. Hey Whatever and Arthur's Victory head the dangers.

Improved in cheekpieces at Downpatrick, it's surprising the headgear is left off here but nonetheless THEBEAUTIFULGAME gets the nod
Class & Speed Card

Valkyrian got back to winning ways with a solid effort at Chepstow last week and is respected turned out under a 5lb penalty, while returning hat-trick seeker Beautiful Dawn is noteworthy having switched from Joseph O'Brien's yard in Ireland to join Derek Shaw. However, RAHEENA impressed when winning a novice event at Kempton three weeks ago and, open to any amount of improvement now handicapping, the Crisfords' filly looks the way to go.

RAHEENA appeared to improve for a switch to AW when comfortably off the mark at Kempton last time and, with more to come, she's narrowly preferred to Valkyrian, who made it three wins for the season at Chepstow recently. Eleftheria is another one to consider.

Valkyrian is thriving but Raheena and PLACEHOLDER both leave the impression there is more in the tank.
Class & Speed Card

DISTANT RUMBLE sets the standard and, having finished a respectable second over C&D most recently, the son of Rumble Inthejungle has a solid chance of going one better in this company. Atherstone Beau has shown promise on both her previous starts and is a notable contender with the promise of more to come. Dark Sorceress found only one too good at Nottingham in a nursery last time and rates another key player.

A weak maiden but at least ATHERSTONE BEAU has some potential so she gets the vote. Distant Rumble ran his best race to date when second over C&D last time and is the obvious threat.

The suggestion is SOFIAN, who improved markedly on his debut effort when fourth at Ffos Las last time out.
Class & Speed Card

Having previously chased home the useful Ombudsman at Leicester in July, it was a touch disappointing that WINSTON'S TIPPLE was unable to justify prohibitive odds at Doncaster next time. A return to the all-weather should play to his strengths, though, and the son of Churchill is expected to repel the likely challenge of Northern Ruler. Sea Journey contested a decent Newmarket novice when last seen in November and she warrants a market check ahead of her return.

NORTHERN RULER has shown plenty to finish second on both his starts so far and this looks a good opportunity for him to go one better. Winston's Tipple also looks capable of winning one of these, while the regally-bred Sea Journey must be respected on her belated return to the track.

Winston's Tipple has a big chance on his Leicester form but NORTHERN RULER is two good runs from two attempts and is preferred.
Class & Speed Card

ZEFANIA's second at Wexford and fourth in Tramore give her prospects of grabbing a first success over flights. Winners have come out of those races and it is worth noting that she was tried in Grade 3 class at Fairyhouse on Irish debut last year. Willie Mullins' Where's Nanny created a good impression when winning a bumper at Tramore last October, but wasn't seen again until reappearing over flights at the same track in August where she weakened and was pulled up. She should come on plenty from that run. Love Like This has taken the runner-up spot on her last couple of visits to Sligo which brings her into contention, while Speranza Wilde is one that could outrun her odds.

LOVE LIKE THIS gets the vote on the back of a pair of runner-up efforts at Sligo last month. Where's Nanny has a question mark against her after a tame capitulation on her hurdles debut last month but it still wouldn't be any surprise were this Willie Mullins-trained bumper winner to provide the chief threat to the selection. Zefania looks best of the rest in a race where it's hard to make a compelling case for many.

The proven form claims of LOVE LIKE THIS can't be underestimated in a race like this and John Ryan's mare gets the vote
Class & Speed Card

MINSTREL KNIGHT seems to be getting better with each run and is an attractive proposition after a very comfortable triumph at Carlisle in June. Likely to have been freshened up by a break since, Ed Bethell's gelding is open to further progress, with this first try at 1m4f unlikely to be much of an issue. The reliable but hard-to-win-with Aulis is an obvious threat with a first-time visor added, while Freds Mate could be a surprise package now he drops back in trip.

MINSTREL KNIGHT took a step forward when scoring at Carlisle 86 days ago and, although not seen since, he makes most appeal in a tightly-knit contest. Aulis is a big danger on form but appeared to shirk the issue at Newmarket last time. Old Saxony and Freds Mate can both have a case made for them, too.

Aulis should give his running again but he's a tricky customer and MINSTREL KNIGHT could prove the safer option.
Class & Speed Card

Although thwarted in her bid to record a hat-trick at Nottingham last time out, SNOW BERRY lost little in defeat when finding only a subsequent winner too strong. A 1lb rise in the ratings looks on the lenient side for Mick Appleby's mare and she can get back in the winning groove. Impeach was somewhat disappointing when only fifth in a class 5 event at Lingfield last month, but better is expected returning to class 6 company. The six-year-old is feared most, ahead of Media Guest.

VAUNTED came home in front having unseated her rider at the start at Chepstow on Monday so Adrian Wintle's 5-y-o can make amends at the expense of Media Guest, who scored over C&D in July and can get back on track returned to this venue. Some Nightmare looks to be building up to something so rounds off the shortlist.

Given his previous form here, MEDIA GUEST is taken to shrug off a couple of lesser efforts and come good again.
Class & Speed Card

Hul Ah Bah Loo landed a classified event over 7f here on Saturday and he is likely to prove popular under the penalty, but it is PRINCESS JASTAR that gets the vote. Tom Clover's filly has shown promise since switching to handicaps in June and, with cheekpieces applied for the first time, she could find the required improvement to get off the mark. Thoughtful Gift continues to run well in defeat and she should not be underestimated.

PRINCESS JASTAR looks the type who could benefit from first-time headgear so she could be the answer dropped in class. Hul Ah Bah Loo did well to score here on Saturday and rates the main threat under a penalty, with Thoughtful Gift best of the others.

3yo PRINCESS JASTAR may need stepping up in trip before long but first-time headgear could sharpen her up.
Class & Speed Card

ARCLAND has run solidly in third and fourth on his last two outings at this track, and being patiently ridden could serve him well in this field. Several of these like to race prominently and those tactics worked for Leading Lion in Bellewstown last week. He was a shade keen there, but was well on top at the business end and has to be respected. Churchwarden was just pipped by a short head over a similar trip at this track on his penultimate outing, so is another contender. Desert Cave won comprehensively in a lesser grade over a staying trip here in June. He received a major hike in the weights and was pulled up when last seen in Galway, though, so there are questions to answer.

LEADING LION impressed when running out a clear-cut winner of a big-field handicap at Bellewstown last week and promises to follow up with further improvement on the cards. Arcland and Churchwarden head the opposition in that order.

Last week's Bellewstown scorer LEADING LION is tipped to defy an 10lb rise in the ratings
Class & Speed Card

BEARAWAY was beaten less than a length when third over 1m2f at Ayr last time and the six-year-old merits plenty of respect off just a 1lb higher mark here. Sonning has also been running well in defeat of late and is capable of giving the selection plenty to think about, while The Bay Warrior is the pick of the remainder.

BEARAWAY took a big step back in the right direction with a recent third at Ayr and can build on it here to regain winning ways. Sonning could emerge as the chief threat off an eased mark, although The Bay Warrior and The Pug are also weighted to have a say and need factoring in.

Preference is for THE PUG who won twice here at around this time last year and has dropped 3lb lower than for his latest success.
Class & Speed Card

Having finished a never-nearer third at Sandown five days ago, GLAMOROUS EXPRESS is one to persevere with on this quick turnaround. The five-year-old found himself with too much to do on that occasion and he looks ready to strike racing off an unchanged mark. Honour Your Dreams makes his first appearance under the tutelage of Mick Appleby and he must enter calculations off a career-low mark. Sovereign Slipper is also noted.

This can go to GLAMOROUS EXPRESS, who figures off a handy mark and ran well at Sandown last week. Honour Your Dreams and So Smart are feared most.

Glamorous Express should feature again but a well-run race over a stiff 5f could spark further progress from SOVEREIGN SLIPPER.
Class & Speed Card

There was plenty of encouragement to be drawn from JOOLIANOSS' recent handicap bow here, where he finished a close-up third over 1m. James Evans' charge is just 1lb higher today and any further improvement could see him break the maiden tag. Cherry King led for most of the way at Epsom before wilting late on and he's berthed ideally to adopt similar tactics, while Valadero, runner-up at Chelmsford last month, can also have a say.

JOOLIANOSS proved a different proposition on handicap bow when third here 2 weeks ago and he won't need to find much more to take advantage of what is clearly a workable mark. Valadero is next best ahead of Whoop Whoop.

Marco Botti's MIZUUMI, who showed up well in a better race at Wolverhampton 15 days ago, is the pick.
Class & Speed Card

Beechroad Winnie has filled the runner-up spot on her latest two starts, including over 2m4f at Tramore last month, with FIRE CORAL about seven lengths behind. However, the latter was hampered after halfway before coming home to good effect and previously finished strongly over an inadequate 2m at Wexford. Evans Secret won't fail for stamina having been placed twice over longer trips, and was probably unsuited by soft ground on the Flat at Sligo last time. Angelsworknovrtime won over C&D on her penultimate start, while A Mere Bagatelle and Ardfert Mary are others to consider.

Lots with chances but A MERE BAGATELLE rates the pick at these weights so looks the way to go. Beechroad Winnie is next on the list on the back of her good Tramore second, although Angelsworknovrtime, Evans Secret and Oogum Boogum are others to consider too.

C&D winner ANGELSWORKNOVRTIME wasn't at all disgraced in a better-class handicap back here last time. Back in grade she gets the vote
Class & Speed Card

PAPPANO has been highly tried throughout his career to date and he was not disgraced when fifth in a very competitive three-year-old handicap at Haydock. This ease in grade, as well as a subsequent gelding operation, could help the son of Nathaniel return to winning ways. The unexposed Pagan Sun should not be underestimated on his handicap bow following a career best over 1m4f here. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but Fleurman is arguably the pick of them.

This is wide open but COCK AND BULL, already a three-time scorer in 2024, rates just the pick of these weights so edges the vote at the chief expense of the reliable Story Horse. In-form pair Pappano and Charging Thunder can both have a say too.

Preference is for PAPPANO who returns to the AW for the first time since winning a Wolverhampton novice in April.
Class & Speed Card

Milford made quite the impression when winning over C&D on his debut, before being far from disgraced in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot. He has disappointed at Windsor subsequently but the application of a first-time visor could sharpen him up, although it is LARCHILL LASS who shades preference. The daughter of Territories will relish forecast conditions and given that only 3lb separates the stablemates on official ratings, she might prove too strong in receipt of weight. Up The Clarets can chase them home.

INVINCIBLE ANNICE was a good second in a nursery at Ripon last week. She ran well on soft surface on her debut back in the spring and can prove too strong for stablemate Milford, who should appreciate the return to the minimum trip.

Karl Burke runs three and narrow preference is for his filly INVINCIBLE ANNICE who arrives in form and has run well in the mud.
Class & Speed Card

Narrowly denied by a progressive sort of Ralph Beckett's at Newbury, having travelled like the winner throughout, BAS BLEU is well worth another chance and can break the maiden at the ninth time of asking. A somewhat unlucky second when not getting the clearest of runs at Salisbury last time out, Ciara Pearl is a key player, along with Divine Presence, who has strong claims on her success at Wolverhampton two starts ago.

BAS BLEU pulled clear of the remainder when caught close home at Newbury last month and still looks feasibly treated off her new mark. Ciara Pearl and Divine Presence are feared most in what looks a competitive contest.

The suggestion is DIVINE PRESENCE, who can make this drop in class tell over a new trip.
Class & Speed Card

Having resumed winning ways a shade cosily over track and trip last month, Split Elevens is likely to prove a warm order off just 3lb higher in the ratings. However, John Butler's charge is likely to be priced accordingly and it may be worth taking a chance on NO NEWS. The four-year-old is now 2lb below his last winning mark and the application of first-time cheekpieces could prove crucial. Stable debutant Blue Collar Lad is also noted.

SPLIT ELEVENS is going through a good spell and is taken to go in again having only been nudged up 3 lb for last month's C&D win. You Are Everything shaped as if better for the run on her recent comeback at Bath and is second choice.

John Butler's SPLIT ELEVENS wouldn't have been regarded as a safe option at one time but his recent form is hard to crab.
Class & Speed Card

FOR FEAR OF FROST made a promising debut when beating all bar the top-class Impaire Et Passe in a 24-runner maiden hurdle at Naas back in December 2022, but hasn't progressed since. The Mouse Morris-trained gelding has given some encouragement on his latest two starts when staying on in 2m4f handicaps and now steps up in trip. Isle Of Sark and the frustrating-to-follow Coole Cherry are closely matched on running behind Marv Michael over 2m5f at Tramore last month, while Charlie's Dilemma also enters calculations after a number of placed efforts, including when second to Talk In The Park at Downpatrick.

FOR FEAR OF FROST caught the eye in no uncertain terms when a staying-on fourth in a handicap hurdle at Tipperary a couple of months ago and this looks like a good opportunity for him to get off the mark over hurdles. Isle of Sark should be on the premises and Coole Cherry may yet have more to offer.

Mouse Morris appears to have found a race that FOR FEAR OF FROST can win after a couple of respectable handicap performances
Class & Speed Card

MIAKODA may have been a well-held third on his most recent outing at Newmarket, but that was still a step in the right direction and an opening mark of 58 should be workable on his nursery debut. Kensington Hope has a similar profile to the selection and may have more to offer in an open event. Others to consider are Liberty Bird, Theatrically and Tutu Star.

KENSINGTON HOPE left previous efforts behind and caught the eye when fifth in a Goodwood novice last time and she's fancied to step up enough to defy a mark of 63 switched to nurseries. Miakoda is an obvious danger and Harvesting is another one who leaves the impression that there's a bigger performance in her.

The vote goes to MIAKODA (nap) who faced a stiff task when third in a Newmarket novice last time. His sire has a fine record here.
Class & Speed Card

CROWN'S LADY has relatively few miles on the clock and sprung something of a surprise when winning at odds of 20/1 at Southwell. She had been below par on good ground prior to that, but pedigree suggests she will appreciate some cut so a 6lb penalty might not stop the Showcasing filly from going in again. Rebecca's Girl remains in good form and should give her plenty to think about, along with Hostelry.

CROWN'S LADY remains with relatively few miles on the clock so is taken to defy a 6 lb penalty for her Southwell success, with this return to 1m also a positive for Craig Lidster's filly. Rebecca's Girl can race off the same mark as when a good recent Musselburgh second and rates an obvious danger with Makalu, Carvalhal and Hostelry all in the picture too.

If this doesn't come too soon after last week's emphatic AW win, CROWN'S LADY ought to go very well under a penalty.
Class & Speed Card

A comfortable winner over C&D on her penultimate start, LADYPACKSAPUNCH is likely to appreciate dropping back in trip after a respectable effort over further here last time. The five-year-old remains on a workable mark and she gets the vote ahead of the improving Imprint, and Galactic Glow, who bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort at Salisbury last time out. Others to note include Highland Lil, Letmebetheboss and Lost In Time.

LADYPACKSAPUNCH has benefited from the application of a visor on her last 3 starts, winning at this C&D before running well when fourth here 18 days ago, so she is taken to double her tally in her current form. Three-time course winner Galactic Glow could be the main danger after returning to form on his latest outing, with Imprint also considered.

Returning to the scene of his C&D win, BOND SPIRIT may be capable of shrugging off a below-par latest effort to come good again.
Class & Speed Card

Although thwarted in his brace bid when a close-up second on the turf track here last month, NEWFANGLED lost little in defeat. A 1lb higher mark looks on the lenient side for Jonathan Portman's charge and this represents a suitable opportunity for him to regain the winning thread. Drouthy Neebor offered something to work with on his fifth-placed handicap bow at Chelmsford in August. The son of Stimulation is feared most, ahead of fellow lightly-raced rival Teatime.

NEWFANGLED has shown improved form on his last 2 starts, producing a good effort when runner-up at this venue 22 days ago, so he looks to hold leading claims of resuming winning ways. Teatime took a step forward on her handicap debut and could be the main danger with cheekpieces on first time, ahead of Compton Bay.

The chances are that NEWFANGLED will start a hot favourite, and deservedly so, if handicap debutante Lucky Gold isn't fancied.
Class & Speed Card

CRUISIN SUSAN won twice for the Berry family last month and has decent prospects of adding to her tally. The daughter of Walk In The Park won over this trip at Wexford and, having also scored over 2m4f at Tramore, was found to be in season when disappointing last time. Smitty Bacall has belied his veteran status this year, recording a fifth career win over a similar trip at Roscommon in July, and has been mainly campaigned over fences since, including when a creditable third to Joe's Turn at this venue. Game And Glory won over 2m6f at Ballinrobe this spring and now reverts to hurdles having been placed a couple of times over fences.

CRUISIN SUSAN proved to be a disappointment when bidding for a hat-trick at Wexford last week but with that effort too bad to be true, she's fancied to quickly regain the winning thread at the expense of Game And Glory, who wasted no time getting back on track in a change of headgear over fences here last month and should continue her good work reverted to timber. Ginnets Girl can edge out handicap-debutante Royal Cave for third.

It could pay to take a chance on ROYAL CAVE, an unexposed mare over hurdles who showed some ability in bumpers
Class & Speed Card

AL KHAWSSAA (third) may have half a length to make up with The Eyes Have It (second) from their clash at Kempton last month, but Roger Varian's filly was making her debut and the fact she was hampered during that race suggests she's capable of turning the form around. Slightly disappointing on her most recent start at Doncaster in June, Jiwin is better judged on her debut effort at Yarmouth.

THE EYES HAVE IT powered clear in good style at Yarmouth first time up, then bumped into a big improver at Kempton, so she's worth a chance to double her tally at the likely expense of Al Khawssaa, who shaped well on debut behind the selection.

With the run under her belt AL KHAWSSAA is taken to reverse last month's Kempton running with The Eyes Have It.
Class & Speed Card

Airspeed has occupied the runner-up spot twice since breaking through here and looks a real threat with Brandon Wilkie removing a valuable 5lb, but a chance can be taken on stablemate OUR MIGHTY MO. The son of Kodiac has shown ability in novice/maiden events and was far from disgraced in a big sales race at York last month. A mark of 73 might prove lenient, although he will need to prove he can handle potentially testing conditions. Ziggy's Ariel is another to consider.

AIRSPEED showed he's effective on a soft surface at Carlisle last week and might prove the answer to this nursery. Kevin Ryan's East Tyrone may appreciate the return to easier ground and is second choice ahead of last week's Ffos Las scorer Herecomesthebear.

Several of these still have potential but the most solid candidate is the bang-in-form AIRSPEED who handles soft ground well.
Class & Speed Card

GOBLET OF FIRE remains in cracking form, despite just failing to complete the hat-trick at Newbury last time, and returning to a venue where he won in June, he looks the one to beat. Oslo reverts to the Flat following a string of solid efforts over timber and he must enter calculations, while Blueflagflyinghigh shouldn't be too far away either.

Nicky Henderson's GOBLET OF FIRE is taken to resume winning ways back on AW. This is a slight drop in class for Way of Life who is feared most ahead of Oslo, who has been running well over hurdles and is on a workable mark back on the Flat.

A chance is taken on DIAMOND RANGER, who isn't solid on 2024 form but looks interesting over this new trip. Oslo is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

A winner of two of his three starts over C&D, including just last week, BLAZING SON loves it here and a 5lb penalty for that recent success may not be enough to stop him from going in again. The relatively unexposed Stanley Spencer has performed with plenty of credit since scoring at Kempton in July and he must enter calculations, along with Blackjack and recent Newmarket second Above.

BLAZING SON was in control through the closing stages when landing a C&D event 9 days ago and he can usually be relied upon to give his running, so he's the one to side with under a penalty. Stanley Spencer probably hasn't reached his limit yet, so he's regarded as the main threat, with a solid showing also expected from Above.

Despite a 5lb penalty BLAZING SON must have a good chance of following up his all-the-way success over C&D nine days ago.
Class & Speed Card

LADY CELIA shades the verdict in what looks a wide-open contest. She certainly wasn't disgraced in a 0-80 handicap over 5f at Newcastle and won impressively over the same trip at this venue the time before. This extra furlong shouldn't pose any problems on that evidence and another bold bid is expected. Conservationist drops into class 5 company for the first time in her career and she's interesting, particularly as her mark continues to fall. Rock Melody, Slainte Mhath and Mostar Dreams are others to keep an eye on.

ROCK MELODY found a big-field Class 2 too much for her at the recent York Ebor meeting but won quite cosily over C&D prior to that and can show she's still on a good mark back in calmer waters. Last year's winner Iris Dancer is next on the list ahead of Conservationist and Iain Jardine's Mostar Dreams.

The vote goes to GAME BREAKER (nap) who looks to be coming to the boil and is well treated on soft-ground form from last season.
Class & Speed Card

PERRINE stepped up on her debut performance when fourth over C&D last month and, with further improvement on the cards, she could make it third-time lucky. Any market support for her stablemate Maenad would be interesting, although Kieran Shoemark presumably had the choice, while William Haggas looks to have a couple of solid chances with Russian Crescendo and Dramatic Quest. Nowhere also has claims on the form of her debut effort.

RUSSIAN CRESCENDO stayed on late under a hands-and-heels ride on her debut here in July and will have learnt plenty from that experience. She can get off the mark. Perrine and Dramatic Quest rate the principal dangers.

With improvement on the cards, the Haggas runners RUSSIAN CRESCENDO and Dramatic Quest look particularly interesting.
Class & Speed Card

ELFORLEATHER is on a roll at present, winning his last couple of starts at Ffos Las and Windsor, and he also boasts solid course form - missing out by a short head on his only previous visit here. He makes slightly more appeal than Ebony Maw, who was unlucky to bump into the progressive My Noble Lord over C&D last time, while Newmarket raider Starshine Legend also merits consideration with first-time blinkers fitted.

Possibly best to focus on the 3-y-os here, with the thriving ELFORLEATHER taken to complete a quick hat-trick at the expense of Something, who has the potential for significant improvement in handicaps, and James Ferguson's Starshine Legend. Ebony Maw may prove best of the older brigade.

The top three on the card are highly respected, as is Elforleather, but may prove vulnerable to the unexposed 3yo SOMETHING.
Class & Speed Card

I MAXIMUS was well supported ahead of his racecourse debut at Newbury and he shaped with tons of promise, staying on nicely into third after a slow start. With that experience now under his belt, he could prove a tough nut to crack. Macedonian rates the biggest threat following his pleasing introduction at Newmarket, while Pontefract third Dash Dizzy also warrants respect. Borcano and Belgrave are a couple of interesting newcomers.

Preference is for I MAXIMUS, who is bred to be useful and ran with plenty of promise on his debut at Newbury in July. Macedonian and Dash Dizzy are also open to improvement and make up the shortlist.

Judged on his market position at Newbury, I MAXIMUS is evidently held in some regard. Interesting Belgrave is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

FISCAL POLICY bounced back to form when scoring over this trip at Catterick a week ago and Ruth Carr's gelding sets the standard on the back of that performance, despite carrying a 5lb penalty. Ramon Di Loria is an obvious threat to the selection having won at Ayr two starts ago and he was only narrowly denied when last seen at Musselburgh. Others to note are Hour By Hour and Earn Your Stripes.

FISCAL POLICY had plenty in hand at Catterick last week and, if in the same mood, he can defy the penalty in a race where the majority of his rivals are out of sorts. Ramon Di Loria arrives on the back of a solid effort at Musselburgh and looks the main threat ahead of Lord Abama.

Slow ground is a slight concern for FISCAL POLICY, but he was impressive at Catterick last week and may well follow up.

Sheikh Raj might be the one to beat after a promising second-placed debut over C&D last month and Tom Clover's colt is likely to put that experience to good use. However, it's possible that BYBLOS, a half-brother to Phoenix/Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Siskin, may have too much class. Market support for the son of Frankel would increase confidence, while fellow newcomer One More must also be watched in the betting.

Siskin's half-brother BYBLOS gets the nod to make a winning debut, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Sheikh Raj rates an obvious danger after his promising C&D debut second 4 weeks ago. The fact Andrew Balding's Havana Whisper went off second favourite on his Newbury debut suggests he's thought capable of better than he showed on that occasion and he also makes the shortlist.

The most appealing contenders are C&D runner-up SHEIKH RAJ and very interesting debutant Byblos.

SYCAMORE GAP, who was second over C&D in July, made the frame over an extended 1m4f at Musselburgh last week and the four-year-old has to be of interest off the same mark here. Dandy's Angel was less than a length behind the winner when fourth at Carlisle recently and she edges out Lunacy and Twoforthegutter to be best of the rest.

DANDY'S ANGEL has dropped to a handy mark and shaped encouragingly when fourth at Carlisle last week. She can land the finale. Sycamore Gap and Lunacy are feared most.

This looks open but slight preference is for JAMINOZ ahead of Hot Team.

Dual all-weather winner CRIMSON ANGEL arrives on the back of a solid fourth at Windsor and a return to Polytrack may prove fruitful. Clive Cox's filly lurks on an attractive mark and she may be able to overcome an awkward draw. Shallow was too bad to be true when a well-beaten fifth at Chelmsford in April and an improved bid is forecast on her reappearance. She may give the selection most to think about, ahead of the downgraded Princess Shabnam.

CUBAN MELODY was below form at Goodwood last time but has her sights lowered here and gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Princess Shabnam and Incrimination can also make their presence felt.

She hasn't won for a while but the recent signs have been encouraging from PRINCESS SHABNAM and she could be the answer.
Class & Speed Card

Narrowly denied by Ashariba at Chelmsford on his penultimate start, for which he is 1lb better off, HISTORIC CITY improved since to score comfortably at Hamilton and a mark of 79 on his return to a handicap could prove workable. A promising fourth on his most recent outing over 1m2f at Windsor, Al Ameed is of interest on his handicap bow, while New Kings Road went close at Newmarket when trying to supplement a Windsor triumph and has to be considered closely.

ASHARIBA looks to have more to offer stepping up in trip so is fancied to defy a 6 lb rise for her recent Chelmsford success and garner a third victory of 2024. Al Ameed appeals as a likely improver now going handicapping so rates the main threat ahead of in-form pair Historic City and New Kings Road.

The rematch between Historic City and Ashariba could go either way. AL AMEED and High Point are other interesting runners.
Class & Speed Card

Runner-up on each of her last two starts, including a narrow reversal when worn down late on at Newmarket last time out, STAR MIND deserves a change in luck and this looks like a decent opportunity with Hector Crouch getting back in the saddle. C&D winner Flag Carrier can give her the most to think about, with Aljezur and Havana Touch dangerous too. The latter went close to scoring over track and trip, for which he has been raised 4lb.

None of these can be dismissed but HAVANA TOUCH signalled he's ready to go in again when an excellent second over C&D last time out so gets the vote. Star Mind is feared most on the back of her good Newmarket second, with Flag Carrier, Aljezur and Sustained also in the picture.

Sustained is unexposed and can go well but HAVANA TOUCH (nap) can build on his promising C&D run last month.
Ths is the racecard key.
