13:35 Goodwood Handicap (Class 5) 11f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (4/1 +11%) Mount Olympus	4 4/1(+11%)	(6) Mount Olympus 4/1, Made it 2-3 for his new yard this year with a career best in 12-runner handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good) 47 days ago. Up 7 lb but weighted to close again. 2-3 for new stable this term; goes back up in grade but may improve further; respected.
2	1 2nd (1) (6.5/1 +7%) Dundory	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(1) Dundory 6.5/1, C&D winner but he came in only eighth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good) 26 days ago. Others more persuasive. Sole start at Goodwood resulted in a success off this mark in this race 12 months ago.
3	14 3rd (14) (5.5/1 +8%) Lhebayeb	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(14) Lhebayeb 5.5/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after back-to-back 11.5f wins at Bath last month. Up 4 lb but had more left in the tank on latter occasion so she's a player. Couple of wins at Bath last month; consistent this year and currently in top form.
4	8 4th (8) (5.5/1 +8%) Meleri	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(8) Meleri 5.5/1, Good second of 7 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) 18 days ago, sticking to his task well. Very much one to consider off just a 1 lb higher mark. Steadily back to form this season, close second at Newbury most recently; turn seems near.
5th	10 5th (10) (6.5/1 -73%) Fascinating Lips	6.5 6.5/1(-73%)	(10) Fascinating Lips 6.5/1, Dual winner in 2022 but only twice raced this summer and eighth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 41 days ago. More is required now back up in trip. Good third off 5lb higher in this race last year; has a fighting chance.
6th	3 6th (3) (18/1 +28%) Carp Kid	18 18/1(+28%)	(3) Carp Kid 18/1, Scored at Windsor and Chepstow in July but only fifth of 7 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) 18 days ago. Sort to bounce back. All wins on good/firmer; chance partly depends on how the surface is riding.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 +36%) Party Island	9 9/1(+36%)	(2) Party Island 9/1, Arrives in decent nick, sixth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good) 26 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Solid effort on penultimate outing; sole turf win came on soft ground; possibilities.
8th	12 8th (12) (11/1 +67%) Lawn Ranger	11 11/1(+67%)	(12) Lawn Ranger 11/1, Course winner who also scored at Windsor in August. Below-form third of 7 in handicap here (9.9f, heavy) 10 days ago so more is needed. Front-runner who is in form but looks vulnerable back in a bigger field.
9th	7 9th (7) (25/1 -194%) On The Right Track	25 25/1(-194%)	(7) On The Right Track 25/1, C&D winner who posted a good ¾-length second of 8 to Lhebayeb in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Merits consideration. Sole run at Goodwood resulted in a success in this contest in 2021; enters calculations.
10th	5 10th (5) (14/1 -17%) Eagle One	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Eagle One 14/1, Fair 1m4f winner for Ronald Harris. Tongue tied and not discredited when second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 92 days ago. One to consider. Went close in AW event on sole outing this year; consistent sort; place claims.
11th	11 11th (11) (80/1 +20%) Capstan	80 80/1(+20%)	(11) Capstan 80/1, Fair maiden but he comes here on the back of modest efforts at Goodwood and Salisbury in May. Needs to bounce back after his 101-day break. Still a maiden and has been absent since May; others preferred.
12th	9 12th (9) (8.5/1 +29%) Glen Again	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(9) Glen Again 8.5/1, Yet to hit top form this term, tongue strap on for 1st time when ninth of 14 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 41 days ago. Others appeal more. Defied a stone higher mark on soft ground in 2021; quite interesting.

LTO Selection:

Not many can confidently be ruled out and the likes of Dundory, who won the corresponding race last season off the same mark, and the in-form Lhebayeb, who chases a hat-trick of wins, have to enter calculations from opposite ends of the handicap. Nevertheless, MOUNT OLYMPUS could be the way to go now he has found his stride for Alan King and a third success for his new yard could be on the cards.

MOUNT OLYMPUS has thrived since joining Alan King and a 7 lb rise for his latest Leicester victory doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from going 3-4 for his new stable. Hat-trick seeking Lhebayeb rates the obvious danger, although in-form pair Meleri and Eagle One need factoring in too.

Provided the ground is on the slow side, DUNDORY could well follow up last year's win. Mount Olympus is second choice.

13:35 Goodwood Handicap (Class 5) 11f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:50 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (5/1 +50%) Halifax	5 5/1(+50%)	(5) Halifax 5/1, Gained a deserved first success in handicap at Exeter (2m7f) in February and confirmed return to form when doubling his tally in a small-field contest at Ffos Las in June. Arrives on back of solid third at Newton Abbot (21.6f) and is one of the likelier contenders. A winner in June and latest third was okay given the trip of 2m5f (wants further).
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 -82%) Finisk River	5 5/1(-82%)	(2) Finisk River 5/1, Scored 4 times (at up to 20f) in 2022 but has struggled to recapture that form in 3 outings this year. Tries longer trip now but has something to prove at present. Most of his form is over shorter but has won over 2m6f and this far is worth a go.
3	6 3rd (6) (18/1 -50%) Blakeney Point	18 18/1(-50%)	(6) Blakeney Point 18/1, Unreliable type who scored over C&D last summer but has rarely threatened since. Blinkers now reapplied but makes limited appeal. Won this last year when confined to conditional jockeys; out of form of late.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +0%) One Touch	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) One Touch 4/1, Scored twice over shorter trips last summer, including over this course, and shaped as if better for the run at Newton Abbot (on return from 11 months off) in July. May well get back on the up now fully up to speed. Won on this card last year; may have needed his return; chance if getting the trip.
5th	7 5th (7) (2.25/1 +36%) Umndeni	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(7) Umndeni 2.25/1, Scored 3 times in this sphere for Philip Hobbs, latest at Newton Abbot (21.6f) 2 years ago. Disappointed more recently but has plunged down the handicap and is worth monitoring in the market on debut for new connections. Kicks off for Irish yard on a dangerous mark; watch the betting.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (7/1 +36%) Ballintubber Boy	7 7/1(+36%)	(4) Ballintubber Boy 7/1, Won twice over this sort of trip last season but ran poorly on sole outing this term at Market Rasen in May, labouring from circuit out. Others looks more solid. Four-time winner, two of them handicaps; not the easiest to predict, however.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (8.5/1 -70%) Butler's Brief	8.5 8.5/1(-70%)	(1) Butler's Brief 8.5/1, C&D winner who got back on scoreboard at Uttoxeter in July. Proved conclusively that fences aren't for him when pulled up at Worcester 2 days ago and likely to do better back over smaller obstacles here. Below best since winning three starts ago and ran a laboured race on Sunday.

LTO Selection:

ONE TOUCH, who scored over an extended 2m3f here last summer, made a pleasing return to action at Newton Abbot 36 days ago. The handicapper has given the nine-year-old a chance by dropping him 2lb for that effort and, with scope for improvement over this new trip, there is a lot to like about his chances. Halifax appears to be on a workable mark, while Finisk River is feared most from the remainder.

It could be worth chancing Irish raider UMNDENI, who is 16 lb below his last winning mark and his new yard have secured the services of Jordan Gainford. One Touch and Halifax look the likeliest dangers.

One Touch is feared but UMNDENI could be worth risking off a vastly reduced mark on his first run for an Irish stable.

13:50 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:10 Goodwood Maiden (Class 2) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (0.67/1 +55%) Caviar Heights	0.67 0.67/1(+55%)	(2) Caviar Heights 0.67/1, 300,000 gns Sea The Stars colt from excellent family and looks useful himself, edged out final strides by a promising newcomer at Sandown (1m) last month. Good type physically with more to offer and leading claims. Clear promise in two maidens at Sandown, beaten narrowly latest; leading contender on form.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/1 -8%) Midair	7 7/1(-8%)	(6) Midair 7/1, Bred to be smart but was held back by inexperience in 7f Newmarket novice (9/1) on recent debut. Should improve. Frankel colt; modest fifth of six at Newmarket but may improve for that experience.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -67%) Louis Quatorze	5 5/1(-67%)	(4) Louis Quatorze 5/1, Made a satisfactory debut in valuable 7f newcomers race at Deauville recently. 1m should suit and he has some tasty entries, so one to keep on side. Showed some promise at Deauville on debut; holds Group entries; open to improvement.
4	8 4th (8) (20/1 +20%) Show Biz Kid	20 20/1(+20%)	(8) Show Biz Kid 20/1, Foaled April 9. 55,000 gns yearling, Acclamation colt. Dam, 8.4f-11f winner, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 6f/7f winner (stays 1½m) Masekela out of useful 10.5f-1½m winner Lady's Purse. 55,000gns yearling; by Acclamation out of 8.4f-1m3f winner; check the betting.
5th	3 5th (3) (5.5/1 -57%) Honest Desire	5.5 5.5/1(-57%)	(3) Honest Desire 5.5/1, Foaled April 20. 150,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt. Half-brother to 2 winners, including 7f winner Dark Desire. Of obvious interest on debut for top yard. 150,000gns yearling; by Frankel; yard won this race in 2018 and 2022; respected debutant.
6th	9 6th (9) (40/1 -100%) Too Bossy For Us	40 40/1(-100%)	(9) Too Bossy For Us 40/1, Foaled March 16. €52,000 yearling, Golden Horn colt. Half-brother to 12.2f winner Activist and useful 1½m winner Angel Guidance. Bred for further in time. 52,000euros yearling; bred to require time and distance but needs a market check.
7th	7 7th (7) (50/1 -52%) Midnight Rumble	50 50/1(-52%)	(7) Midnight Rumble 50/1, Foaled March 14. 55,000 gns foal, 50,000 gns 2-y-o, Oasis Dream colt. Dam 1½m winner out of smart 9.5f-1½m winner Flowers of Spring. 50,000gns 2yo; by Oasis Dream out of a 1m4f winner; market can guide.
8th	5 8th (5) (50/1 -52%) Maxim De Winter	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Maxim De Winter 50/1, Dam won the Super Sprint for this yard, but, starting off at 7f, he made little impact at Newbury 7 weeks ago. Looks one for the longer term. Always behind at Newbury on first start, having been friendless in the betting.
9th	1 9th (1) (33/1 -136%) Arch Legend	33 33/1(-136%)	(1) Arch Legend 33/1, Foaled February 23. 82,000 gns yearling, Camelot colt. Half-brother to smart winner up to 1m Heredia and 7f winner Vasilissa. Dam, 7f-1m winner who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to smart 11f-17f winner Amade. Interesting newcomer. 82,000gns yearling; by Camelot; one of several newcomers in the field; market informative.

LTO Selection:

Honest Desire looks the part on paper as a son of Frankel representing a powerful yard, but there is no substitute for experience and CAVIAR HEIGHTS is preferred. Only beaten a short head on his second start at Sandown after making the running, he can go one better here with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle. Newcomers Arch Legend and Show Biz Kid are others to watch out for.

Quite a valuable maiden, designed for potential stayers, and the promising CAVIAR HEIGHTS can build on a cracking run at Sandown and open his account. Honest Desire and Arch Legend are interesting newcomers, while Louis Quatorze made an encouraging start at Deauville and could kick on now.

The pick of the runners with experience is CAVIAR HEIGHTS. Interesting newcomer Honest Desire is feared most.

14:10 Goodwood Maiden (Class 2) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:25 Bangor Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (3/1 -50%) Come On Du Berlais	3 3/1(-50%)	(3) Come On Du Berlais 3/1, Bumper winner for Gordon Elliott. Placed both starts over hurdles in the UK without fully matching the picking of her Irish form (tongue tied latest) but a big contender on these terms after a wind op. Bumper winner for Gordon Elliott; placed in last two hurdles and thereabouts.
1	4 1st (4) (2.5/1 -108%) Littel Flour	2.5 2.5/1(-108%)	(4) Littel Flour 2.5/1, Surely has a race in her over hurdles, looking sure to collect until a promising newcomer got his act together in similar event at Newton Abbot 14 days ago. Not long with this yard and this looks a good opening. Two good runs for this yard and probably bumped into a decent prospect last time.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.25/1 +62%) Arctic Fox	1.25 1.25/1(+62%)	(1) Arctic Fox 1.25/1, Fairly useful stayer on the Flat who has failed to complete in her 2 tries over hurdles but remains with potential in this sphere and ran well on the level when last seen. Useful on the Flat (five wins) and running well when falling on final hurdle start.
3	5 3rd (5) (25/1 +0%) Luckie Money	25 25/1(+0%)	(5) Luckie Money 25/1, Achieved little but might have needed the run on hurdles debut at Stratford 9 weeks ago. July's belated debut at Stratford wasn't without hope but she'll need plenty more here.
4	7 4th (7) (125/1 -56%) Cellar Club	125 125/1(-56%)	(7) Cellar Club 125/1, Well held in bumper/novice hurdle. Tailed off in a bumper and one novice hurdle; no appeal for now.
8	8 \|U\| (8) (9/1 +50%) Livalot	9 9/1(+50%)	(8) Livalot 9/1, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), lost all chance at start last time (looked reluctant). Work to do now hurdling for new yard. No wins in eight on the Flat (1m2f-2m) despite contesting some ropey handicaps.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (200/1 -33%) Champagne Kiss	200 200/1(-33%)	(2) Champagne Kiss 200/1, Out of a point winner but she showed nothing on recent hurdles debut at Worcester. Never remotely dangerous in a 2m7f Worcester maiden when sent off at 150-1.

LTO Selection:

LITTEL FLOUR has done well in two previous starts for Jennie Candlish and she can make it third time lucky for her new yard here. Come On Du Berlais is another that has to be taken seriously on her first start after a wind operation, while the once-raced Luckie Money has scope for improvement and can be expected to be wiser after her debut experience at Stratford in July.

LITTEL FLOUR seemed sure to collect until a promising newcomer got his act together late in the day at Newton Abbot a fortnight ago and this looks easier. She can open her account, at the chief expense of Come On du Berlais.

There's no depth to this and LITTEL FLOUR probably has less on her plate than when succumbing to a promising one at Newton Abbot.

14:25 Bangor Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:45 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 6f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (10/1 +38%) Liv My Life	10 10/1(+38%)	(6) Liv My Life 10/1, Put experience to good use when landing 7-runner 5f maiden at Chester in July. Set a stiff task and was brushed aside in the Super Sprint but this a much more realistic assignment and she's one to note with Buick booked. Not obviously thrown in for nursery debut but step up to 6f could unlock something new.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +20%) Je Ne Sais Quoi	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) Je Ne Sais Quoi 4/1, Won 6f Thirsk maiden in June and while her form has been patchy since she wasn't disgraced in the York sales race last month, first home of the 3 fillies in the line-up, not having the best of runs through. Thirsk maiden winner in June (6f, good to firm); in and out since but chance on best form.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 +22%) Snafiya	7 7/1(+22%)	(4) Snafiya 7/1, Has done well for new yard, winning 6f Doncaster and Thirsk novices' in the space of a week in July, although she was well beaten in a good Newmarket nursery last time. Cheekpieces go on. Two 6f novice wins on soft for this yard in July; well behind Say Hello latest; opposable.
4	2 4th (2) (1.38/1 +31%) Pink Satin	1.38 1.38/1(+31%)	(2) Pink Satin 1.38/1, Closely related to connections' smart winner up to 1½m Highland Chief and she's made a good start, winning 6f Windsor novice on debut and finding only the impressive Zoulu Chief (won valuable York nursery next time) too good back there last time. More to come and big shout under 5 lb claimer. Windsor winner on debut; bumped into one back there when 2nd on h'cap debut; more to come.
5th	1 5th (1) (2.5/1 -43%) Say Hello	2.5 2.5/1(-43%)	(1) Say Hello 2.5/1, Left previous efforts well behind in first-time blinkers when easily landing 11-runner 6f Newmarket nursery in July and cracking effort in defeat in fillies' event over that C&D next time. That form looks solid and she can go well again despite a 2 lb nudge. Improved for blinkers/nurseries the last twice; should give it another good go.

LTO Selection:

The form of PINK SATIN's recent Windsor second has worked out well, with the winner going on to land a valuable nursery at the Ebor meeting, and she is fancied to strike from an unchanged mark. Say Hello struck at Newmarket in July and lost little in defeat when second off 13lb higher at the same venue last time. She appeals as the most likely danger nudged up a further 2lb in the ratings, while Liv My Life heads the remainder.

PINK SATIN looks the class act here, her form stacking up well having chased home Zoulu Chief at Windsor last time, and she's hard to get away from. Say Hello is feared most ahead of Je Ne Sais Quoi.

Unexposed Pink Satin bumped into a well-treated rival last time but she may have to give best to the progressive SAY HELLO here.

15:00 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (14/1 -75%) Dieu Vivant	14 14/1(-75%)	(3) Dieu Vivant 14/1, In good form without winning until only tenth of 27 in hunter chase at Aintree (21.1f, good) 145 days ago. Sort to bounce back off a lenient mark. Better known as a hunter chaser but has been competitive in handicaps.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.83/1 +59%) Quid Pro Quo	0.83 0.83/1(+59%)	(4) Quid Pro Quo 0.83/1, Opened his account over fences at Southwell (2m4f) in April and has improved on that form since, latest when third of six in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (2m4f) 37 days ago. Player. In good form and this belated first run over 3m might well suit him.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/1 -50%) Fidux	6 6/1(-50%)	(1) Fidux 6/1, It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2021 and tried in cheekpieces when last of 5 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good) 37 days ago. Others appeal more. Below par behind Court Master last time but he's a lot better than that.
4	5 4th (5) (50/1 -52%) The Vollan	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) The Vollan 50/1, Registered fourth victory of 2022 in a 4-runner Kelso handicap in October. Ended the year out of sorts, though, and pulled up in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Seems to have lost his way and was pulled up at Worcester after a lengthy break.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 -133%) Ultimate Getaway	14 14/1(-133%)	(6) Ultimate Getaway 14/1, Scored at Ludlow in May 2022 but he returns from 15 months off now. Has his fitness to prove on his comeback. Returns from a long absence off a reduced mark and trainer gets them fit.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (2.5/1 +0%) Court Master	2.5 2.5/1(+0%)	(2) Court Master 2.5/1, One-time useful chaser for Michael Scudamore. Not discredited back chasing for his new yard when second of 5 in handicap at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good) 37 days ago. Can go well again here with that form having been franked. Back to approaching his best on the return to fences when second at Uttoxeter.

LTO Selection:

COURT MASTER is a prime candidate to make the running here and he may well be able to make his dominance count. The veteran has a consistent profile over fences and, off 4lb lower than when last successful, he has a live chance at the weights. Quid Pro Quo is another reliable type to consider, while Fidux is not ruled out despite not having won for over two years.

QUID PRO QUO arrives at the top of his game so is fancied to get back to winning ways at the chief expense of Court Master who took a big step back in the right direction when runner-up at Uttoxeter last time out. Dieu Vivant figures on an attractive mark if back on his A-game and needs considering too.

This step up in trip is well worth exploring with QUID PRO QUO (nap) who has been hard to fault for a while now.

15:20 Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (2.75/1 -10%) Novel Legend	2.75 2.75/1(-10%)	(2) Novel Legend 2.75/1, Improving 4-y-o who followed up his AW reappearance success when forging clear to land a 16.5f Newbury handicap in April. Solid efforts in defeat since, most recently chasing home subsequent Ebor second Sweet William back at Newbury, and he's a major player. Solid record in handicaps, most recently second at Newbury behind a notable rival.
2	9 2nd (9) (2.25/1 +55%) Grand Providence	2.25 2.25/1(+55%)	(9) Grand Providence 2.25/1, Nathaniel filly who is going the right way, winning 11f Kempton novice and 2m Doncaster handicap this summer (narrowly beat Temporize in the latter) and nothing wrong with subsequent efforts over 1¾m at Sandown and Newmarket. Likely to give another good account. Unexposed stayer; 1-1 over 2m and she beat Temporize on that occasion; interesting.
3	7 3rd (7) (4.5/1 +50%) Aggagio	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(7) Aggagio 4.5/1, Recorded fourth win here when seeing off Earlofthecotswolds in this race 12 months ago. Has won twice over hurdles since and runner-up twice from 4 visits here this season, including off this mark over C&D (good) last time, and shouldn't be far away. Respectable record at Goodwood includes four wins, notably this contest in 2022.
4	3 4th (3) (5.5/1 +31%) Vino Victrix	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(3) Vino Victrix 5.5/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022 campaign, most notably finshing second in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket. Has yet to hit top form this season, though, finishing well adrift of Temporize at the big meeting here last month, and now has a bit to prove. Soft ground may explain his substandard turf form this year; won over C&D in 2022.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 -25%) Rhythmic Intent	10 10/1(-25%)	(4) Rhythmic Intent 10/1, Useful handicapper who doesn't look quite the force of old but his mark reflects that and he arrives here on the back of creditable efforts in defeat in 1¾m handicaps at Yarmouth and Sandown. Shapes as though this step up in trip will be no bad thing and he's one to consider. Remains 6lb lower than last winning mark; possibilities if he stays new trip.
6th	1 6th (1) (28/1 +0%) Earlofthecotswolds	28 28/1(+0%)	(1) Earlofthecotswolds 28/1, Useful hurdler who notched fourth success on the Flat at Wolverhampton in March. Good second to Aggagio in this race last year off a 2 lb higher mark but needs to bounce back following a couple of poor efforts (the latest over hurdles). Second off 2lb higher in this race last year; fighting chance if back to that form.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 -7%) Pons Aelius	8 8/1(-7%)	(8) Pons Aelius 8/1, Successful 4 times during a busy 2022 and resumed winning ways over C&D (good to firm) in June. Shaped better than the bare result dropped to 1¾m at Sandown recently and he's high on the shortlist now back up in trip with William Buick aboard. Won over C&D in June and can't be dismissed back here.
8th	6 8th (6) (80/1 -300%) Merveillo	80 80/1(-300%)	(6) Merveillo 80/1, Useful performer for Christophe Ferland in France, including a Toulouse listed win in 2021. Respectable efforts both starts for this yard on the Flat last spring but more miss than hit over hurdles since and others look safer. Listed winner in France; 0-12 in Britain, mostly over hurdles; bit to prove.

LTO Selection:

NOVEL LEGEND has been progressive this season and he is fancied to regain the winning thread having bumped into the subsequent Ebor-second Sweet William at Newbury last time. Temporize is now 7lb higher for last month's course success but must be respected, along with Grand Providence, who is a key player in receipt of weight. Last year's first two home Aggagio and Earlofthecotswolds square off once more and have to be of some interest.

The Johnston's have saddled the winner of this handicap 3 times since 2018 and PONS AELIUS is taken to enhance that record. The drop back to 1¾m counted against him at Sandown last time and he is appealing back at the scene/over the trip of his latest success in June off just a 2 lb lower mark. The form of Novel Legend's latest effort at Newbury has been well and truly boosted since, and he is a much-respected main danger. Temporize is third choice ahead of Grand Providence and Rhythmic Intent.

Unexposed 3yo GRAND PROVIDENCE is interesting off a very low weight returned to 2m. Temporize is second choice.

1	3 1st (3) (6.5/1 -30%) Vintage Fizz	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(3) Vintage Fizz 6.5/1, Progressed over hurdles last spring, winning a pair of handicaps at around 2½m on good to soft. Successful start over fences at Hexham in May and by no means disgraced when third at Cartmel next time, but needs to raise his game a touch here. Made a good start over fences; close up off this mark at Cartmel last time.
2	2 2nd (2) (3.5/1 -5%) Go On Chez	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(2) Go On Chez 3.5/1, Resumed winning ways in emphatic fashion in a first-time tongue strap at Southwell in November. Solid efforts in defeat all 3 starts since returning from a 6-month break and should make his presence felt. Cheekpieces refitted. 3m is probably more his trip and the handicapper may have his measure.
3	4 3rd (4) (0.73/1 +55%) The Big Jetaway	0.73 0.73/1(+55%)	(4) The Big Jetaway 0.73/1, Winner of 3 of his 4 starts over fences and recently opened hurdles account upped to 19.6f here (good), landing the odds with minimum fuss. Remains open to improvement in this sphere and very much the one to beat. 5lb higher than for his final chase win but looks sure to go well again in current form.
4	1 4th (1) (5.5/1 -83%) Northern Bound	5.5 5.5/1(-83%)	(1) Northern Bound 5.5/1, Won 3 times over fences last year, including this race, and latest success was gained off a 3 lb higher mark at Newbury (2½m, good to firm) in November. Out of luck in 4 starts since returning from a break in April but yard in good form and he merits respect. Impressive winner of this last year and can deal with this mark; hurdling last time.

LTO Selection:

Runner-up on his last three starts, Go On Chez should be thereabouts once more, though he might have to play second-fiddle to THE BIG JETAWAY. Having secured back-to-back victories over fences, Donald McCain's charge recorded a facile hurdling success 15 days ago. 5lb higher back over the larger obstacles, the seven-year-old can land the four-timer. Vintage Fizz can chase the pair home ahead of Northern Bound.

The best is surely yet to come from the THE BIG JETAWAY, who has just the one blot on his chasing copybook and further advanced his reputation with a bloodless win over hurdles here 15 days ago. He remains unexposed over fences and this trip. Last year's winner Northern Bound gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Go On Chez and Vintage Fizz.

All four should go well. THE BIG JETAWAY has dominated his last three races from the front and he can continue the good work.

1	1 1st (1) (2/1 +27%) Glamorous Breeze	2 2/1(+27%)	(1) Glamorous Breeze 2/1, Has been in top form this season, winning twice at Windsor (5f). Good third at Ascot (5f) latest and likely to go well again. Strong traveller who is still improving; two good course runs; drying ground a plus.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 -45%) Cover Up	4 4/1(-45%)	(5) Cover Up 4/1, Improved when off the mark at the third time of asking in 5f Windsor novice 22 days ago, just clinging on. Likely to be popular as an unexposed type from a top yard but his opening mark does demand more. Off the mark dropped to 5f last month but form looks ordinary; more needed to follow up.
3	6 3rd (6) (4.5/1 +0%) Four Adaay	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(6) Four Adaay 4.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newmarket in June. Creditable third of 7 over C&D (heavy) 10 days ago. Respected under Murphy. C&D winner; two sprint wins this season and has held her form well; involved once again.
4	4 4th (4) (7.5/1 +46%) Some Nightmare	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(4) Some Nightmare 7.5/1, Down the field in a competitive Racing League handicap 6 weeks ago but had been running with credit in smaller fields prior to that and no surprise if he bounces faced with that scenario again. Course winner; below par last time but he'd been threatening beforehand; others stronger.
5th	3 5th (3) (8/1 -14%) Coup De Force	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) Coup De Force 8/1, Successful 3 times in 2022 and back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) 18 days ago. Should remain competitive after a 2 lb rise. Career-best RPR when winning on AW last month; 2lb rise manageable; up in class.
6th	2 6th (2) (4.5/1 -13%) Whenthedealinsdone	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(2) Whenthedealinsdone 4.5/1, This former C&D winner is on a good mark if staging a revival but need to see a bit more before lending support. Blinkers back on. Not hit top gear this year but this is a drop in class and conditions fine; can't ignore.

LTO Selection:

Cover Up is hard to overlook ahead of his handicap debut with the possibility of more improvement to come, but the going may not be ideal for the son of Exceed And Excel and a chance is taken on FOUR ADAAY. A close-up third here last month, she runs off the same mark and will appreciate any further rain getting into the ground. Glamorous Breeze and Whenthedealinsdone may be the ones to battle it out for third spot.

GLAMOROUS BREEZE has enjoyed a productive summer and might be up to going in again, perhaps at the main expense of Some Nightmare, who can shrug off a lesser run in a Racing League handicap last time now back in a less competitive scenario.

This is a drop in class for Whenthedealinsdone but drying ground will help GLAMOROUS BREEZE and she can come out on top.

1	6 1st (6) (33/1 -32%) Swift Tuttle	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) Swift Tuttle 33/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat for Brian Meehan. Also went close on the level for this yard at Haydock in the spring but pulled up in C&D handicap back hurdling 15 days ago. Flat maiden and 33-1 when pulled up on his recent handicap hurdle debut at this track.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/1 -40%) Theonlywayiswessex	7 7/1(-40%)	(5) Theonlywayiswessex 7/1, Dual AW Flat winner for this yard earlier in the year. Possible he needed the run after a short break (had wind surgery) when only seventh of 9 in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in July and being eased another 3 lb can only help. Dual AW winner; only 7th last time hurdling but not sure good to soft ground was ideal.
3	3 3rd (3) (1.88/1 +6%) Choirmaster	1.88 1.88/1(+6%)	(3) Choirmaster 1.88/1, Fairly useful on Flat and in good nick in this sphere since undergoing a wind op, winning a C&D handicap 15 days ago. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue tie now. Much respected up 4 lb. Dug deep to beat an in-form rival with the pair clear over C&D two weeks ago; up 6lb.
4	4 4th (4) (3.5/1 +46%) Cumhacht	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(4) Cumhacht 3.5/1, Modest maiden. Mostly creditable efforts in handicaps this season but his mark hasn't budged much as a result and he'll need to pull out a little more to get off the mark. Has run some decent races and Stratford last time (2m) was one of them.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/1 -100%) Ve Day	7 7/1(-100%)	(1) Ve Day 7/1, Fair maiden on the level for Andrew Balding. Landed 4-runner juvenile at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) on hurdle debut in March. Has only matched rather than bettered that since and his opening handicap mark in this sphere isn't obviously generous. Consistent; does look on a high mark but Peter Kavanagh's claim will help.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (2.75/1 +17%) Governor Green	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(2) Governor Green 2.75/1, Got off the mark over C&D in April and posted a solid third off a 7 lb higher mark in 2m handicap at Uttoxeter 4 weeks later. Contender if returning from a 108-day break in similar form. Landed a gamble here in April and posted the same RPR in defeat next time.

LTO Selection:

CHOIRMASTER struck over course and distance from 6lb lower last month and the four-year-old could find further improvement with the addition of first-time cheekpieces, and he is taken to follow up. Ve Day continues to knock on the door and must firmly enter the reckoning, along with Governor Green, who hit the frame at Uttoxeter from a 1lb higher mark last time out.

If CHOIRMASTER pulls out only a little more for cheekpieces he might be able to add to last month's C&D success. Governor Green was in fine form when last seen in the spring and is second choice ahead of Cumhacht.

A chance is taken on THEONLYWAYISWESSEX. He was in good form on the Flat before finding conditions too soft back jumping at Uttoxeter.

1	2 1st (2) (9/1 -20%) Karmology		9 9/1(-20%)																															(2) Karmology 9/1, Golden Horn filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 1m winner Muveran. Trainer’s newcomers always command respect and it will be interesting to see if there's support for her in the betting. Would need to be better than her dam or winning sibling to take this on debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (0.04/1 +43%) Doom		0.04 0.04/1(+43%)																															(1) Doom 0.04/1, Lightly-raced filly. 6/4, respectable second of 10 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Entitled to come on for that belated seasonal reappearance and newcomer Karmology will need to be pretty decent to lower her colours. Comeback effort boosted by the third winning since; big shock to see her turned over.

LTO Selection:

A match to open the card and while the unraced Karmology may have a decent future as a daughter of Golden Horn out of a Shamardal mare, she is an unknown quantity and DOOM is preferred. The daughter of Dubawi was second to the subsequent Oaks winner Soul Sister on her final start as a two-year-old and filled the same position on her return to action at Newmarket last month.

DOOM was just touched off by none other than subsequent Oaks heroine Soul Sister on her final 2-y-o start, and she was again narrowly outpointed when returning from a 10-month absence at Newmarket. Unless newcomer Karmology turns out to be well above-average, Doom should deservedly open her account in this match.

This should be straightforward for DOOM, a decent 2yo who's entitled to have come on for last month's comeback.

8th	6 8th (6) (150/1 +0%) Larkhill	150 150/1(+0%)	(6) Larkhill 150/1, Offered little in a couple of starts on AW this summer.

LTO Selection:

Lope De Light performed well when third on debut at Chelmsford and normal improvement gives him a shout here, but it might be worth focussing on the two previous winners. Believe In Stars looked a smart type when victorious at Lingfield, but that was almost a year ago and perhaps recent scorer KING LEAR is the safer play with race-fitness on his side. He was super impressive at Nottingham and this step up in trip will likely suit.

Preference is for KING LEAR, who built on the considerable promise of his racecourse bow when scoring at Nottingham last month and should have more to offer yet. Believe In Stars and Lope de Light are feared most.

Attractively bred KING LEAR sets the form standard even with a 7lb penalty for his Nottingham win. Lope De Light is second choice.

Failed to reproduce that at Beverley 18 days later but her stable's good recent record in this contest means it would be no surprise to see her bounce back with a bang. One good run (5f, good to soft) and three lesser efforts; not easy to assess.

Most from stable better for a run but still worth a precautionary betting check. Dam a 6f winner (RPR 87) from a useful family; yard's newcomers rarely fully wound up.
7th	6 7th (6) (250/1 -150%) Haildor	250 250/1(-150%)	(6) Haildor 250/1, 200/1, last of 14 to Almarada Prince in maiden at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) on debut 18 days ago, slowly away. Can only watch after that. 200-1 when tailed off at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago.

LTO Selection:

Trainer Karl Burke has won two of the last three renewals of this race including with a 66/1 shot last season, and that suggests Beverley fifth Princess Alex may go well. Curious Rover made all to win at Catterick, but he will not get his own way at the head of affairs here if GLADLY EVER AFTER is allowed to bowl along. Third when swallowed up at Windsor last time out, the drop in trip could be key.

A tight novice featuring 4 previous winners. CURIOUS ROVER was well suited by the drop to 5f at Catterick last week and might be able to follow up turned out again quickly. Karl Burke has a good recent record in this race so Princess Alex could be the one to give Katie Scott's charge most to do ahead of Gladly Ever After.

Pick of the previous winners may be CURIOUS ROVER and he is marginally preferred to Almarada Prince.

Longer trip might help too. Positives to take from both starts under rules and trainer keen to go handicapping.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (11/1 +31%) Balranald	11 11/1(+31%)	(7) Balranald 11/1, Successful over fences at Sedgefield in winter 2021 and finally opened his account over hurdles in a C&D handicap in May. Backed that up when third here in June and freshened up since a lesser run at Perth later that month. Perth was disappointing last time but first and third on last two visits here.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (28/1 +58%) Luminaries	28 28/1(+58%)	(11) Luminaries 28/1, Offered very little in 6 starts thus far, pulling up at Fontwell when last seen in June. Ragamuffin has to be considered the yard's main hope. Very minor form so far including three handicaps; 4lb out of the weights.

LTO Selection:

MY POEM bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot at Uttoxeter last time and she is fancied to go one better raised a further 3lb in the handicap. First-time cheekpieces could eke out more progression from the largely consistent Taragrace, while similar comments apply to Never No Trouble, who is fitted with a visor for the first time. Last month's Market Rasen second Calvic is also noted.

RAGAMUFFIN won off higher marks than this over fences last summer and is taken to build on last week's back-to-form second at Worcester. Donald McCain pair Taragrace and Never No Trouble are pretty consistent and are likely to figure prominently again, while My Poem should also have a say if lasting out over this longer trip.

If RAGAMUFFIN can follow one good run with another then he might be the answer on this drop down to a Class 5.

LTO Selection:

ROGUE ENFORCER was third on his only start to date, when coming home four lengths adrift of the odds-on Array at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago. Slowly away and outpaced on that occasion, the son of Profitable can only improve for the experience. Glory Hyde was well held on her debut at Thirsk but does represent an in-form stable, although the recent course-fourth Bill's Baar may be the bigger danger.

ROGUE ENFORCER made a promising start when third at Newmarket and looks the way to go with improvement very much on the cards here. Bill's Baar appeals as the one to give Peter Chapple-Hyam's son of Profitable most to do now back at 6f, ahead of Want Want.

Peter Chapple-Hyam is 4-8 with 2yos here down the years and ROGUE ENFORCER can boost those numbers at the expense of Bill's Baar.

2	11 2nd (11) (5.5/1 +39%) Amazonian Dream	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(11) Amazonian Dream 5.5/1, Acquitted himself well in recent starts, latest when creditable third of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Remains on a workable mark but slow ground would be a slight concern. String of good runs this year, including strong-finishing 3rd at Windsor latest; contender.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 -64%) Aplomb	9 9/1(-64%)	(6) Aplomb 9/1, Lightly raced this term but posted creditable second of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last month and can race off same mark here. Likely contender. Came from well back to snatch 2nd at Redcar latest (met trouble); chance if in same form.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 -170%) Royal Parade	9 9/1(-170%)	(1) Royal Parade 9/1, Resumed winning ways in emphatic style over C&D in June and back to that sort of form when creditable eighth over minimum trip at Sandown latest. Wouldn't want ground too slow, though. Impressive over C&D in June; quiet since but return to 6f a plus; drying ground would help.
5th	4 5th (4) (3.5/1 -5%) Cairn Gorm	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(4) Cairn Gorm 3.5/1, Bagged first win for almost 3 years when taking 16-runner handicap (12/1) at York (6f, good) 22 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and merits consideration. Finally exploited reduced mark in a big field at York in July; big run on the cards.
6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 +0%) Mokaatil	25 25/1(+0%)	(9) Mokaatil 25/1, Yet to score this season and has been well below best in recent starts, Easy enough to look elsewhere. Not found his best form this year and it's been some time since his last 6f win.
7th	10 7th (10) (22/1 -22%) Holkham Bay	22 22/1(-22%)	(10) Holkham Bay 22/1, Lightly-raced gelding who won on second outing as a juvenile on AW at Lingfield and returned with encouraging second at Doncaster over this trip in July. However, not been in same form since and hood reached for now. Yet to shine in handicaps but yard turning a corner and he still has untapped potential.
8th	12 8th (12) (9/1 +44%) Lady Dreamer	9 9/1(+44%)	(12) Lady Dreamer 9/1, Opened account at Windsor (6.1f) in July and ran to similar level when third over same C&D next time. Needs to bounce back from a disappointing run at Newmarket last month, though. Won Windsor novice in July; not beaten far in h'caps since but others look better treated.
9th	8 9th (8) (18/1 -29%) Count Otto	18 18/1(-29%)	(8) Count Otto 18/1, Won back-to back handicaps over this trip last month and far from disgraced when second in hat-trick bid at Epsom (6f, good to firm, 5/2) latest. Not out of things. Two wins and a second from his last three starts; this looks a deeper event though.
10th	5 10th (5) (28/1 -12%) Punchbowl Flyer	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Punchbowl Flyer 28/1, Useful handicapper at his best but failed to fire last season and shaped as if needing outing when seventh at Newbury on yard debut last month. This run should reveal more. Classy in his pomp; on losing run but made an encouraging start for new yard last month.
11th	2 11th (2) (3.33/1 +58%) Mister Bluebird	3.33 3.33/1(+58%)	(2) Mister Bluebird 3.33/1, Course winner who returned to form when third of 15 in handicap (10/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) 17 days ago. Remains fairly treated and is one for shortlist. 7f winner here in June for this rider; good 3rd at Newmarket latest; one to consider.

LTO Selection:

In a wide-open event marginal preference is for LIVE IN THE MOMENT, who failed to fire at Ripon last time but was fourth in a valuable event over this course and distance prior to that off a 2lb higher mark. Cairn Gorm is an obvious threat to the selection following his win over 6f at York in July, while Mister Bluebird and Aplomb are the pick of the remainder.

APLOMB has had a light campaign and caught the eye when runner-up at Redcar last month. He can go one better here. Mister Bluebird and Coco Bear head the list of dangers.

This should be well run and CAIRN GORM (nap) can stalk the pace and pounce late. He's still welll treated on the back of his York win.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (0.14/1 +22%) Spectacular Style	0.14 0.14/1(+22%)	(3) Spectacular Style 0.14/1, Expensive well-bred Frankel colt who again left the impression there could be a better effort in him at Leicester (10f) 7 weeks ago, sticking at it having been found wanting for a change of gear when asked. Longer trip sure to suit and this looks his for the taking. Fair form in all three runs and he looks a class above his three rivals here.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 -13%) Weigh Anchor	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(4) Weigh Anchor 4.5/1, 5/1, second of 4 in maiden at this course (11.1f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Looks the one for the forecast again. Runner-up the last twice but Spectacular Style is better than her latest conqueror.
3	1 3rd (1) (80/1 -60%) Fly Awhile Johnny	80 80/1(-60%)	(1) Fly Awhile Johnny 80/1, Mid-field in bumper only start for Jack Teal and never a threat in minor event/maiden 7 days apart. Beaten in six points before sent under rules; well held in 1m2f/1m4f novices.
4	2 4th (2) (125/1 -25%) Be Rural	125 125/1(-25%)	(2) Be Rural 125/1, Decent pedigree but well beaten in a couple of novices this summer. Upped markedly in trip. Tailed off in novices at about 1m and low-grade handicaps probably beckon.

LTO Selection:

In a very small field, Roger Varian's SPECTACULAR STYLE may be able to dictate things from the off with little guaranteed pace anywhere else in the line-up. Weigh Anchor looks like she needs a fast early pace to aim at and she may not get that here to bring her stamina into play, while Fly Awhile Johnny may get the better of Be Rural in the race for third spot.

A weak novice and it will be disappointing if SPECTACULAR STYLE can't get the job done up in trip. Weigh Anchor is the obvious forecast option.

Roger Varian's Frankel colt SPECTACULAR STYLE has been performing to a level that sets him apart in this company.

1	9 1st (9) (12/1 +14%) Eldeyaar	12 12/1(+14%)	(9) Eldeyaar 12/1, Good second of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 8 days ago, no match for winner. Shouldn't be far away if able to reproduce that level of form back on turf. Has run exclusively on Tapeta for the past year; can miss the break; others stronger.
2	7 2nd (7) (4.5/1 +31%) Wade's Magic	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(7) Wade's Magic 4.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Catterick in August. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Catterick (6f, good) 6 days ago, nearest finish. One for the shortlist. Again didn't get much luck last time and is one of the more interesting runners drawn low.
3	3 3rd (3) (3.5/1 -40%) Chester Le Streak	3.5 3.5/1(-40%)	(3) Chester Le Streak 3.5/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (11/2) at Beverley (5f, good) 9 days ago, well on top finish. Obvious claims under a penalty with similar conditions forecast. Had a light season; easy 6f is fine and he holds obvious claims under a penalty.
4	5 4th (5) (6.5/1 +28%) Flavius Titus	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(5) Flavius Titus 6.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Thirsk in August. 7/2, creditable second of 10 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f) 16 days ago, slowly away. Likely to be in the mix off the same mark here, provided he breaks alertly. Readily saw off Chester Le Streak at Thirsk last month and arrives at the top of his game.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/1 +29%) Rich Waters	10 10/1(+29%)	(1) Rich Waters 10/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. 33/1, tenth of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form but no real reason to anticipate a revival here. Went backwards last year and has regressed further for his current yard this time.
6th	12 6th (12) (22/1 +12%) Canaria Prince	22 22/1(+12%)	(12) Canaria Prince 22/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Last of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces working the oracle. Wins come at 5f; doesn't arrive in form and Wade's Magic is perhaps his yard's best shot.
7th	15 7th (15) (125/1 -25%) Fighting Chance	125 125/1(-25%)	(15) Fighting Chance 125/1, 80/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Readily passed over. Poor performer who's gone nowhere near making the frame after 14 starts (5f-1m).
8th	2 8th (2) (5/1 +17%) Dream Together	5 5/1(+17%)	(2) Dream Together 5/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 33 days ago. Remains on a handy mark up 1 lb and can make his presence felt. Consistent this season and the handicapper's giving him every chance; shortlisted.
9th	14 9th (14) (40/1 +39%) Pink Sky At Night	40 40/1(+39%)	(14) Pink Sky At Night 40/1, 10/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Catterick (7f, good) 6 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Down in trip again; fared slightly better on tough terms last week but others are stronger.
10th	11 10th (11) (14/1 +30%) Golden Prosperity	14 14/1(+30%)	(11) Golden Prosperity 14/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Winner at Musselburgh in July. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 16/1) 16 days ago. Back up in trip and, chances are, he'll find a few of these too strong. Generally struggled when going 6f; only had Marwari behind when beaten a long way latest.
11th	8 11th (8) (12/1 -50%) One For The Ladies	12 12/1(-50%)	(8) One For The Ladies 12/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. Good third of 18 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 10/1) 10 days ago. Visor back on and improvement needed if she's to open her turf account. Yard also represented by Marwari. Lacks consistency and is still to win on turf; holds claims on her latest big-field third.
12th	13 12th (13) (40/1 -82%) Point Of Woods	40 40/1(-82%)	(13) Point Of Woods 40/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 18 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 66/1) 10 days ago. Others preferred. Veteran who's looked on the downgrade this year; another ordinary effort last time.
13th	4 13th (4) (7/1 +30%) Glory Hallelujah	7 7/1(+30%)	(4) Glory Hallelujah 7/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Beverley (5f, good) 9 days ago. Not without an each-way chance. Showing more since the headgear came off, including here; is one of the likelier winners.
14th	10 14th (10) (50/1 -52%) Marwari	50 50/1(-52%)	(10) Marwari 50/1, Last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 11/1) 16 days ago. Back up in trip and he looks set for another struggle. His four wins have all come on Tapeta and he's run poorly in two starts back this summer.

LTO Selection:

Chester Le Streak arrives here having made all at Beverley last time and, although he has to carry a 5lb penalty, he is a tenacious sort at the top of his game. The four-year-old can go well again, but FLAVIUS TITUS may have his measure after he came out on top when the pair met at Thirsk last month. Canaria Prince is another to consider as the first-time cheekpieces may bring him back to form.

CHESTER LE STREAK was beaten by Flavius Titus on his penultimate start at Thirsk but appeared to take a step forward when striking at Beverley recently. The 4-y-o may well have more to offer and is taken to follow up under a penalty. Flavius Titus should again be on the premises having found one too good on the all-weather last time, while Wade's Magic is also accorded respect, along with Dream Together.

Chester Le Streak won well last time but he's a good bit worse off with FLAVIUS TITUS than when second to him at Thirsk.

Tough filly who comes here after winning at Carlisle on Friday; penalty makes life harder.
2	1 2nd (1) (8.5/1 -31%) Swordplay	8.5 8.5/1(-31%)	(1) Swordplay 8.5/1, C&D novice winner in June but has finished down the field on both nursery starts in recent weeks. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Beat Chumbaa in C&D novice in June; not quite so good recently but not out of it.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 -50%) Indication Call	6 6/1(-50%)	(4) Indication Call 6/1, Put experience to good use when winning in a first-time visor at Ayr in May. Hasn't advanced her form in nurseries since but she was a little better than the result when fourth of 6 at Beverley last time, caught further back than ideal after a sluggish start. 5f Ayr maiden winner; some fair form since; 6f a slight concern; new headgear; a possible.
4	5 4th (5) (2.75/1 +21%) Dc Flyer	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(5) Dc Flyer 2.75/1, Improved when off the mark in a 4-runner C&D nursery in July, making all. Raised 6 lb for that but she's unexposed at this trip and may do better again. Won C&D novice last time (first run at 6f, good to soft); further progress likely; chance.
5th	3 5th (3) (3.5/1 -27%) Chumbaa	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(3) Chumbaa 3.5/1, Took an age to get off the mark but it's clicked lately, coming good in C&D maiden before following up on 5f Ripon nursery debut last Tuesday. The quick turnaround is unlikely to be an issue for one taking her racing really well. In good form having won over 6f here and over 5f at Ripon on last two starts; a contender.
6th	6 6th (6) (125/1 -89%) Nana's Ancestors	125 125/1(-89%)	(6) Nana's Ancestors 125/1, Poor form at best. 80/1, last of 12 on 7.5f Beverley nursery debut 19 days ago. 9 lb out of the handicap and easy to look elsewhere again. Has finished last on all 4 starts and is 9lb out of the handicap; hard to fancy.

LTO Selection:

The hat-trick seeking pair of Bellarchi and Chumbaa both run carrying a 6lb penalty for their latest successes, but neither put daylight between themselves and their opponents and they may end up fighting it out for the places. DC FLYER gets the nod after he won over C&D in July when making most of the running and, although 6lb higher now, he has been given over a month off to recover so comes in fresh.

Nick Bradley owns half the field and this might develop into a straight fight between his durable pair CHUMBAA and Bellarchi, with narrow preference for the former as both go in search of quick-fire hat-tricks.

The in-form CHUMBAA, successful at Ripon a week ago, is taken to follow up by beating Swordplay and Dc Flyer.

Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, respectable seventh of 17 in handicap at this C&D (good) 17 days ago. Can give a good account. Has three wins and a couple of seconds to his name from 12 starts over C&D; shortlisted.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 +25%) Strong Johnson	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(2) Strong Johnson 2.25/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap (5/2) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Up 5 lb but another bold showing is on the cards. Best of the far-side group in the Silver Trophy last month; decent claims again upped 5lb.
3	11 3rd (11) (11/1 -57%) Hurstwood	11 11/1(-57%)	(11) Hurstwood 11/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 11/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) 15 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Three wins and a third to his name from seven runs over C&D but arrives out of form.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 +0%) Asadjumeirah	9 9/1(+0%)	(6) Asadjumeirah 9/1, Twenty six runs since last win in 2022. Respectable sixth of 17 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good) 17 days ago, nearest finish. Visor back on. Can go well. Perhaps the return to a visor will help, but he's been handicapped to win for a good while.
5th	1 5th (1) (7.5/1 -15%) Oso Rapido	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(1) Oso Rapido 7.5/1, Won 11-runner handicap (9/2) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago, responding well. Not taken lightly despite a 4 lb rise. Boosted a good record at Redcar when winning there last time off a 4lb lower mark; player.
6th	5 6th (5) (8/1 +20%) Golden Duke	8 8/1(+20%)	(5) Golden Duke 8/1, Latest win at Doncaster in June. 10/1, creditable fourth of 11 to Oso Rapido in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago, slowly away. Can go well again. Wins have all come in high summer and he's back up around a career-high mark.
7th	7 7th (7) (25/1 +11%) Motawaazy	25 25/1(+11%)	(7) Motawaazy 25/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 16/1) 16 days ago. Has work to do. Has the rail draw and the pace to utilise it, so a better effort wouldn't shock.
8th	10 8th (10) (10/1 +9%) Havana Pursuit	10 10/1(+9%)	(10) Havana Pursuit 10/1, Course winner. Very good 2¾ lengths sixth of 12 to Strong Johnson in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 6/1) 10 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Lightly raced and did better again last time behind Strong Johnson; is one to consider.
9th	8 9th (8) (16/1 -14%) Lily In The Jungle	16 16/1(-14%)	(8) Lily In The Jungle 16/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 16/1) 22 days ago so needs to get back on track. Has three wins and two fourths to her name from six runs over C&D; return here will help.
10th	9 10th (9) (50/1 -52%) Object	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Object 50/1, 66/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time with lots more required. Sharp regression since joining this yard, coming 15lb down the weights this year; outsider.
11th	4 11th (4) (11/1 -38%) Starproof	11 11/1(-38%)	(4) Starproof 11/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 3-runner handicap at Ffos Las (6f, soft, 6/5) 20 days ago. Needs considering. This is somewhat deeper upped 4lb but further improvement is quite possible.

LTO Selection:

Motawaazy has failed to fire on his last couple of starts but is a player based on the pick of his form. The seven-year-old can go well, as can STARPROOF, who has won two of her last three starts. The daughter of Camacho is only 4lb higher than when winning at Ffos Las on her most recent outing and merits plenty of respect. The unexposed Havana Pursuit is another to consider.

STRONG JOHNSON got right back on track when scoring at Redcar and remains on a handy-looking mark despite going up 5 lb. Oso Rapido looks the main danger on the back of his own recent Redcar victory, with Asadjumeirah and Havana Pursuit also in the mix in an open sprint.

Three-time C&D winner FORTAMOUR didn't get the breaks here last time and gets the nod. Starproof is second choice.

Creditable second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 5/1) 22 days ago. In the mix once more. Three C&D wins and drops into a Class 5 for the first time since an easy win in June.

Unexposed as a sprinter so big shout despite taking a 5 lb rise. Career-best when staying on well to win a 6f handicap at Pontefract last month; respected.
5th	3 5th (3) (16/1 -33%) Sound Of Iona	16 16/1(-33%)	(3) Sound Of Iona 16/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (5f, good to soft, 25/1) 11 days ago so needs to bounce back. Dangerous mark but mixed messages this year; down in class; revival not impossible.
6th	5 6th (5) (4.5/1 +0%) Happier	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(5) Happier 4.5/1, Winner at Redcar in May. Good second of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm, 4/1) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Can give another good account. Generally progressed well in her first season; good 2nd at Carlisle latest; new headgear.

LTO Selection:

The first-time blinkers can provide the missing ingredient for HAPPIER, who has finished an admirable second in three of her four starts since she broke her maiden at Redcar in May. Creative Style can get closer to the selection after finishing a length and a half behind her in fourth at Carlisle last month. Iris Dancer, already a three-time winner over C&D, is also taken seriously.

EMILY POST bounced back in some style when going in at Pontefract last time and looks weighted to follow up despite a 5 lb rise given she remains unexposed at this trip. Iris Dancer has an excellent record here so rates the chief threat to Michael Dods's filly with Happier and Sacred Falls in the picture too.

Happier is still improving but three-time C&D winner IRIS DANCER (nap) may be the answer now back down in class.

Cheekpieces on 1st time and should have a part to play. Another who'll want a proper test over this trip on to fast ground in first-time headgear.
5th	2 5th (2) (4.5/1 +55%) Casilli	4.5 4.5/1(+55%)	(2) Casilli 4.5/1, Course winner. Fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (9.8f, soft, 13/2) 29 days ago, would have benefited from stronger handling. Will get that here and she's a player off a 2 lb lower mark. Usually ridden patiently and will want a good test down in trip on to faster ground.
6th	4 6th (4) (18/1 +36%) Just Janet	18 18/1(+36%)	(4) Just Janet 18/1, Latest win at Catterick in July. 10/1, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Below par on her last two runs; has to prove her stamina over this trip for the first time.
7th	3 7th (3) (3.5/1 +22%) Urban Decay	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(3) Urban Decay 3.5/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Southwell in April. Fifth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/4) 18 days ago. Improvement needed on this handicap debut. May not have stayed 9.5f last time but she'll need to improve on her turf/handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

URBAN DECAY looks to be the one with the most potential as she makes her handicap debut after a Southwell success and a Wolverhampton fifth on her last two starts, failing to get home over further on the most recent of those occasions. The daughter of Frankel could prove too good for Eastern Charm, who has won her last four starts, as well as the recent Hamilton second Golden Melody.

EASTERN CHARM left the impression she wasn't doing all that much in front when winning her fourth race on the bounce over C&D last month and, up just 3 lb, her winning spree looks set to continue with further progress very much on the cards. Casilli continues to edge down the weights and she could be the one to follow the selection home, though Golden Melody and Gone are also likely to be on the premises.

There's every chance EASTERN CHARM will be able to defy a further 3lb rise into a stronger race and make it five on the spin.

1	1 1st (1) (2/1 +43%) Havana Party	2 2/1(+43%)	(1) Havana Party 2/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in June. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 10 days ago. One to consider down in class. Improved with blinkers (won over 1m2f, third over C&D); met trouble latest; could go well.
2	3 2nd (3) (2.75/1 +50%) We Still Believe	2.75 2.75/1(+50%)	(3) We Still Believe 2.75/1, C&D winner. 9/1, didn't need to improve to win 13-runner handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good) 8 days ago, suited by way race developed. Still fairly weighted on his best form under a penalty. Back to form to win over 1m2f at Ripon last week (good); penalised; should be thereabouts.
3	5 3rd (5) (7.5/1 -36%) Chinese Spirit	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(5) Chinese Spirit 7.5/1, C&D winner. 11/2, didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Claims under penalty if in the same form. Off the mark for 2023 over 1m last week; return to 1m1f will suit; chance with his penalty.
4	2 4th (2) (25/1 -25%) Heatherdown Hero	25 25/1(-25%)	(2) Heatherdown Hero 25/1, Hooded for 1st time, last of 5 in handicap (12/1) at Catterick (13.9f, good to firm) 95 days ago. Chance on old form but he clearly needs to bounce back dropped significantly in trip. Not in top form for new yard this year; only win was over 1m6f, not sure 1m1f is ideal.
5th	7 5th (7) (5/1 +29%) Mac Ailey	5 5/1(+29%)	(7) Mac Ailey 5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Ayr in July. Creditable 2¼ lengths third of 13 to We Still Believe in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good, 5/1) 8 days ago, taking the eye with how he went through it before being picked off by a pair from much further back in a strongly. Blinkers back on. Firmly of interest. 1m2f Ayr winner on soft in July; fair runs on last three starts; each-way chance.
6th	9 6th (9) (12/1 -118%) Jaminoz	12 12/1(-118%)	(9) Jaminoz 12/1, Visored for 1st time, creditable second of 9 in minor event (9/4) at Ayr (10f, good) 24 days ago, no match for winner. Bit more needed. Won over 7f last term; runner-up on last three starts; a possible but not straightforward.
7th	8 7th (8) (8/1 +11%) Precedent	8 8/1(+11%)	(8) Precedent 8/1, Modest maiden. 7/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 5 days ago. Claims on his second here a couple of runs back. Good 2nd over 8.5f here in July; disappointing since, including at Carlisle last week.
8th	10 8th (10) (28/1 -75%) Royal Countess	28 28/1(-75%)	(10) Royal Countess 28/1, 11/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 9 in minor event at Ayr (10f, good) 24 days ago. Others preferred. Not in best of form since Ayr win on reappearance; second-time headgear; others preferred.

LTO Selection:

Chinese Spirit is high on the shortlist after coming good at Musselburgh last week, and is taken seriously turned out quickly under a 4lb penalty. However, this is a slightly deeper race and it could pay to side with MAC AILEY, who has shown signs of a revival on his last few starts and, having won off this mark before, he now has a live chance on these terms. Jaminoz and We Still Believe are other in-form contenders to consider.

MAC AILEY shaped well behind We Still Believe at Ripon last week and is fancied to come out on top this time. His old rival, Havana Party and Blazer Two are dangerous.

It could pay to side with the in-form WE STILL BELIEVE, who scored at Ripon last week.

1	1 1st (1) (1.62/1 +46%) Edwina Sheeran	1.62 1.62/1(+46%)	(1) Edwina Sheeran 1.62/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win here in July. Creditable third of 15 in handicap (10/3) at Thirsk (12f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Merits consideration. Dual C&D winner early in the summer who's continued in form since; leading claims.
2	4 2nd (4) (2/1 +0%) Blue Antares	2 2/1(+0%)	(4) Blue Antares 2/1, C&D winner. Winner here in August. 9/4, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to firm) 7 days ago, slowly away. Solid claims off the same mark. Visor has helped; player but could maybe have done without the recent dry spell.
3	7 3rd (7) (4/1 +47%) Lincoln Rockstar	4 4/1(+47%)	(7) Lincoln Rockstar 4/1, Visored for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, soft, 5/2) 9 days ago. Back up in trip and others are more persuasive on this occasion. String of costly defeats this summer; lame effort in a visor (off) latest needs forgiving.
4	5 4th (5) (6.5/1 +46%) Optician	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(5) Optician 6.5/1, 9/1, respectable sixth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Down another 2 lb and he could make his presence felt. 4lb swing entitles him to close the gap on Edwina Sheeran but he's looking exposed now.
5th	2 5th (2) (22/1 -159%) Night Life	22 22/1(-159%)	(2) Night Life 22/1, 10/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 33 days ago. Has work to do if she's to play a leading role in this contest. Competitive since returned to handicap company but has still to prove her stamina.
6th	8 6th (8) (50/1 -150%) Queenmambo	50 50/1(-150%)	(8) Queenmambo 50/1, Well-beaten seventh of 8 to Blue Antares in handicap (16/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 17 days ago. It would be a surprise were she to reverse placings with that rival this time. Long way behind Blue Antares and Lincoln Rockstar, back from summer break, over C&D latest.
7th	6 7th (6) (80/1 -142%) Vale Dolobo Dancer	80 80/1(-142%)	(6) Vale Dolobo Dancer 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to firm, 40/1) 13 days ago. Needs to raise his game now faced with a stiffer test. Lincoln Rockstar appears to be the stable No 1. Goes up in trip again tonight; Lincoln Rockstar looks his trainer's best chance.

LTO Selection:

Lincoln Rockstar looks to be the pick of David O'Meara's pair with Danny Tudhope riding and she could challenge C&D winner Blue Antares in the race for second, but top-weight EDWINA SHEERAN ticks a lot more boxes. Three wins this year, two of which came at this venue, have been followed by solid placed efforts elsewhere and she was beaten less than two lengths at Thirsk last month. The three-year-old appears to have plenty in her favour once again, although she does need a career best to win off her new mark.

BLUE ANTARES readily outpointed the re-opposing Lincoln Rockstar over C&D last month and subsequently didn't do much wrong off this 7 lb higher mark at Musselburgh where he came from further back than the two that finished in front of him. Charlie Johnston's charge is taken to resume winning ways, perhaps at the chief expense of the consistent Edwina Sheeran. Optician is best of the rest.

Lincoln Rockstar is becoming hard to trust and EDWINA SHEERAN (nap), who's done nothing but progress in cheekpieces, is preferred.

1	3 1st (3) (6/1 +14%) Absolute Dream	6 6/1(+14%)	(3) Absolute Dream 6/1, Course winner. 7/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Out of sorts but on a good mark. Disappointing since a fair third in June; 11lb lower mark than for last win; not out of it.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/1 -33%) Purple Gown	6 6/1(-33%)	(1) Purple Gown 6/1, Winner at Leopardstown in April. 66/1, off 3 months and first run since leaving J. S. Bolger when fifth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago, finding herself a long way back but passing a good few and not knocked about. Interesting. Ex-Irish; heavy-ground winner in April (1m); not done as well since; plenty to prove.
3	5 3rd (5) (8/1 +33%) Zumaaty	8 8/1(+33%)	(5) Zumaaty 8/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Last of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Musselburgh (9f, good) 25 days ago. Something to find on form. AW winner in February; mainly poor efforts since, last three on turf; hard to fancy.
4	6 4th (6) (7/1 -27%) Retirement Beckons	7 7/1(-27%)	(6) Retirement Beckons 7/1, 4-time C&D winner. 5/1, won 8-runner handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 5 days ago. Carries penalty. Got to be feared. Triple C&D winner; has also won three times in 2023, the latest last week; chance.
5th	2 5th (2) (3.33/1 +58%) Nefyn Dawn	3.33 3.33/1(+58%)	(2) Nefyn Dawn 3.33/1, Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good, 18/1) 25 days ago, needing stiffer test. Improved since going handicapping; two fair runs (at 7f and 7.5f) last month; a possible.
6th	4 6th (4) (3.33/1 -21%) Banner Road	3.33 3.33/1(-21%)	(4) Banner Road 3.33/1, Winner at Ayr in July. Hooded for 1st time, good second of 6 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D (soft) 31 days ago. That was a stronger race (third won next time) and she's expected to be bang there again. Placed on her three starts since Ayr win off 8lb lower in July (1m, good to soft); chance.
7th	7 7th (7) (5/1 +44%) Motarajel	5 5/1(+44%)	(7) Motarajel 5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good, 12/1) 7 days ago. Blinkers back on. Not taken lightly. 11lb lower than last winning mark but not been in top form this season; change of headgear.

LTO Selection:

RETIREMENT BECKONS refuses to live up to his name, winning last week for the 10th time with four of those here at Hamilton all over this distance. He got up late last time at Carlisle and a 4lb penalty may not be enough to stop him. C&D second Banner Road and the dropped-in-class Purple Gown are also of interest and may give the selection the most to think about.

PURPLE GOWN made an encouraging start for her new trainer at Ripon and looks interesting down in class. Banner Road remains in top form and seems sure to go well. Retirement Beckons has to be feared again.

In a trappy race NEFYN DAWN, who is less exposed than most, is taken to break his duck with Banner Road another likely to run well.

1	2 1st (2) (3/1 -50%) All Dunn	3 3/1(-50%)	(2) All Dunn 3/1, 3 wins from 13 runs this winter. 2/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago so he's in the mix once more. Continued in form for this yard; invariably pulled hard over shorter and needs to settle.
2	6 2nd (6) (16/1 +36%) Ribkana	16 16/1(+36%)	(6) Ribkana 16/1, 25/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (9.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Fully exposed and arrives off the back of two poor efforts; has it to prove now.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.25/1 +38%) Paco's Pride	1.25 1.25/1(+38%)	(1) Paco's Pride 1.25/1, Reliable maiden who posted a good third of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good, 7/2) 20 days ago. Has to be taken seriously eased 1 lb now. Consistent maiden; again gave her running from the front latest; this is less competitive.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 +18%) Lukla	9 9/1(+18%)	(4) Lukla 9/1, Good third of 6 in maiden (25/1) at this course (9.8f, good) 8 days ago. Can go well again in his bid for a maiden success. Bit better since upped in trip and has every chance back to handicap company.
5th	3 5th (3) (5.5/1 -57%) Fortuitous Star	5.5 5.5/1(-57%)	(3) Fortuitous Star 5.5/1, Below-form fifth of 10 in handicap (9/4) at Carlisle (6.9f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Turned over at 9-2 or shorter on seven occasions and is running out of excuses.
6th	7 6th (7) (150/1 -50%) Missmimi	150 150/1(-50%)	(7) Missmimi 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 9 in minor event at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip with more required on her handicap debut. Huge prices and beaten a long way in four sprints thus far.
7th	5 7th (5) (7.5/1 +32%) Secret Joy	7.5 7.5/1(+32%)	(5) Secret Joy 7.5/1, 17/2 and visored for 1st time, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Shortlisted with the headgear retained. Again looked as though worth a try over this longer trip last week; found a winnable race.

LTO Selection:

All Dunn is yet to prove that he can repeat his winning all-weather form on turf but could still make the frame in a race of this nature. Fortuitous Star was only beaten a neck off 1lb lower two starts ago before a fifth at Carlisle last time. However, PACO'S PRIDE has been third on her last two starts off 1lb higher and it would be no surprise to see her go a couple of places better here.

PACO'S PRIDE can race off a 1 lb lower mark than when a good recent Salisbury third so is fancied to gain a deserved first success at the chief expense of Lukla who also bids for a breakthrough success. Wolverhampton third All Dunn can have a say too in a tight-knit handicap.

Paco's Pride should go well again, but LUKLA hasn't had many chances at beyond sprint distances and is preferred.

2	7 2nd (7) (5.5/1 +8%) The Gay Blade	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(7) The Gay Blade 5.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Musselburgh (7f) in August. 6/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good) 25 days ago. Ran well over C&D before winning over 7f last month; not so good latest; not ruled out.

4	6 4th (6) (20/1 -150%) See My Baby Jive	20 20/1(-150%)	(6) See My Baby Jive 20/1, Racked up a 6f Ayr hat-trick in July but latest Redcar run suggests she may have gone off the boil. Reeled off an Ayr hat-trick in July; less good twice since and others look more appealing.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 +0%) Earn Your Stripes	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Earn Your Stripes 16/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Below form 6 lengths eighth of 13 to See My Baby Jive in handicap (9/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 43 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Course winner; fair efforts when behind See My Baby Jive twice in July; below par latest.

Return to 6f a possible help but she needs to pull out more. Unplaced in all ten starts but has hinted at ability and the return to 6f can help.
7th	10 7th (10) (33/1 -230%) Burtonlodge Beauty	33 33/1(-230%)	(10) Burtonlodge Beauty 33/1, Course winner. One win from 32 Flat runs. 28/1, best effort this season when second of 7 in handicap at this course (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago. No good thing to back it up. Infrequent winner but ran well for 2nd over 5f here 11 days ago; in the mix with a repeat.
8th	1 8th (1) (8/1 -78%) Dandy Spirit	8 8/1(-78%)	(1) Dandy Spirit 8/1, Dual winner this spring. Can have a line put through latest run at Beverley as he stumbled at the start. Back on a good mark and the blinkers he's worn on all wins in Britain return. Two sprint wins in spring; had an excuse last time; capable if on a good day.

LTO Selection:

Global Humor has to enter calculations with his two course wins coming off higher marks, but he was beaten 25 lengths at Catterick last month. Burtonlodge Beauty was a solid second here over five furlongs and should be better suited by this trip, but a chance is taken on DANDY SPIRIT. Better treated in this company after coming home last at Beverley, his last win was off this mark in May and we know he is capable in this grade.

It might be worth taking a chance on DANDY SPIRIT who won a couple of Class 6 events in the spring and is back on a good mark if refitted blinkers help him to stage a revival. Elladora is second choice returned to a venue where she has a good record. Giselles Izzy can also feature.

Global Humor is greatly respected but GISELLES IZZY is fancied to gain her second C&D win of the year.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
