14:20 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.2/1 +31%) Uncle Dick	1.2 1.2/1(+31%)	(1) Uncle Dick 1.2/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. 10/3, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 4 days ago, running on. Claims. Won over C&D last month and was a clear third at Salisbury last week; key player.
2	5 2nd (5) (2.5/1 -11%) Buy The Dip	2.5 2.5/1(-11%)	(5) Buy The Dip 2.5/1, Winner at Lingfield in June. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (3/1) at this C&D (good) 8 days ago. Can go well again. Placed in his last three runs including a rallying third over C&D last time; respected.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 +14%) Free Step	6 6/1(+14%)	(2) Free Step 6/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in May. Creditable 2 lengths fifth of 9 to Uncle Dick in handicap at this C&D (good, 5/1) 21 days ago, running on. In the mix. Won on her seasonal/stable debut in May but has not gone on from that; needs to find more.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +11%) Coloane	4 4/1(+11%)	(3) Coloane 4/1, Still a maiden but not disgraced when fourth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 24 days ago. Player off a 2 lb lower mark. 0-13 but she's a consistent type who has possibilities back in a Class 6 event.

LTO Selection:

UNCLE DICK did well to finish third at Salisbury on Thursday. The winner, who made all, kicked clear from an early stage and, having been anchored in rear, it was to his credit that Eve Johnson Houghton's gelding was able to get to within a length and a half. He was successful over C&D prior to that and the return can help him regain the winning thread. Coloane drops in class and ought to be capable of playing a leading role, along with the consistent Buy The Dip.

None of these can be ruled out but COLOANE can capitalise on a handy mark now and gain a deserved first success. In-form pair Free Step and Uncle Dick both bring solid credentials to the table and can chase home William Jarvis' filly in that order.

This looks a bit trappy but last month's C&D winner UNCLE DICK gets the vote ahead of Buy The Dip and Coloane.

14:30 Perth Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (5.5/1 +0%) Lord Sam's Castle	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(3) Lord Sam's Castle 5.5/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 8.5f). Showed an aptitude for hurdling when third of 8 at Aintree in June but faded in the closing stages and stamina could always be an issue for him in this sphere. Dual 7f winner on the Flat; creditable third on jumps debut but that form nothing special.
1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +50%) Kyogo	5 5/1(+50%)	(2) Kyogo 5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Ran to a similar leve when third on Killarney hurdle debut in July and possibly unsuited by softer ground when well held back there since. Cheekpieces added now. Likely to go well. Runner-up in 2 Flat maidens; fair 3rd on jumps debut; headgear tried; stable second string.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.3/1 +55%) Doctor Nightingale	0.3 0.3/1(+55%)	(4) Doctor Nightingale 0.3/1, Fair maiden on the Flat and has made a sound start to her hurdling career, placing on all 3 starts, the latest at Down Royal 10 days ago. The one to beat for top Irish stable. Flat maiden; placed on all three starts over hurdles and looks the one to beat.
3	1 3rd (1) (7.5/1 -67%) Ironopolis	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(1) Ironopolis 7.5/1, Fair on Flat (stays 1½m), although his best efforts have been achieved on AW. Brian Hughes booked for hurdle debut. Fair on the Flat, winner over 1m4f on the AW; quite interesting on jumps debut.

LTO Selection:

DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE has produced a string of consistent efforts over timber and she is likely to put that experience to good use, especially with this appearing to be a solid opportunity for her to gain a first career success. Lord Sam's Castle is expected to build on his Aintree third, while any market support for Ironopolis on his first attempt in this sphere would make him of interest.

As usual, Gordon Elliott has been knocking in the winners on a regular basis here this summer and he might be good for a 1-2 in this opener, with DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE, the mount of the season's leading jockey Sean Bowen, preferred to Kyogo.

14:40 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (1.62/1 -8%) Ya Know Yaseff	1.62 1.62/1(-8%)	(3) Ya Know Yaseff 1.62/1, Improved in blinkers (retained) when getting off the mark in 23f Worcester handicap chase (good to soft) 8 days ago. The one to beat under a 7 lb penalty if showing up in similar form. First-time blinkers presumably helped when coming clear at Worcester last week.
2	4 2nd (4) (2.5/1 +58%) Janeslittlevoice	2.5 2.5/1(+58%)	(4) Janeslittlevoice 2.5/1, Poor maiden hurdler but has shown she can be competitive from her basement mark over fences when runner-up in handicaps at Fontwell in recent weeks. Didn't entirely convince with her stamina over this longer trip the last time.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 -9%) Sharp Note	3 3/1(-9%)	(1) Sharp Note 3/1, Different proposition on second chase start when winning 5-runner C&D handicap in June. Not in quite the same form at Southwell and Stratford since but perhaps a return to this venue will help her bounce back to her best. Won comfortably over C&D in June on just her second run over fences; excuses last time.
4	2 4th (2) (5.5/1 -83%) Prince Cleni	5.5 5.5/1(-83%)	(2) Prince Cleni 5.5/1, Little form over hurdles but did well over fences at the start of the summer, second at Uttoxeter then winning at Southwell (both 3m). His 2 runs since then have been disappointing, though. Bounce back needed. Player on his Southwell win in June and all headgear left off after two lesser shows.

LTO Selection:

YA KNOW YASEFF was able to record a comfortable success on her return to the larger obstacles at Worcester having been fitted with blinkers for the first time (retained), and she will be a tough nut to crack if arriving in the same form under a penalty. Sharp Note won over C&D from 5lb lower in June and is capable if putting her best foot forward. Prince Cleni is fancied to beat Janeslittlevoice to third spot.

If the blinkers work a second time YA KNOW YASEFF stands a good chance of defying a 7 lb penalty for Worcester. Sharp Note is feared most back at the scene of her win in June.

If YA KNOW YASEFF can repeat last week's Worcester form then that may be sufficient.

14:55 Brighton Maiden (Class 5) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (0.5/1 +25%) Miguel	0.5 0.5/1(+25%)	(3) Miguel 0.5/1, Twice-raced colt. Third of 13 in maiden at Chepstow (7.1f, good, 10/3) 14 days ago. Presented with a good opportunity to make it third time lucky. Sets clear standard on his third at Chepstow last time and he's open to more progress.
2	6 2nd (6) (4.5/1 +31%) Happy Place	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(6) Happy Place 4.5/1, Once-raced filly. 11/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Epsom (7f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago, not knocked about. It would be no surprise to see her step up on that effort here. Never involved at Epsom last month and she needs major improvement on her second start.
3	2 3rd (2) (18/1 -50%) Compton Bay	18 18/1(-50%)	(2) Compton Bay 18/1, Twice-raced colt. Hooded for 1st time, tenth of 13 in maiden (6/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 14 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Some promise at Epsom but he was disappointing at Chepstow last time; headgear removed.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 -67%) Gregorina	10 10/1(-67%)	(5) Gregorina 10/1, Foaled May 6. 19,000 gns 2-y-o. Sister to 6f winner Loch Carron and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m/9f winner Glenall and 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Glenkitt. Slight concern that she's hooded for this debut but one to note in the betting nonetheless with Oisin Murphy booked. Sister to a fair 6f winner; wears hood on debut and market should guide.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/1 -64%) Medician Star	9 9/1(-64%)	(1) Medician Star 9/1, Foaled January 12. 28,000 gns yearling, Galileo Gold colt. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run but he needs a close look in the betting all the same. Quite a lot to like on paper and he needs watching in market on debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (125/1 -400%) Majolica	125 125/1(-400%)	(7) Majolica 125/1, Twice-raced filly. 16/1, last of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 12 days ago, slowly away. In good hands but she's another who may be seen in a better light when going down the handicap route. Has struggled in both her runs and needs a transformation on this switch to turf.
7th	4 7th (4) (125/1 -150%) Something To Do	125 125/1(-150%)	(4) Something To Do 125/1, Twice-raced colt. 100/1, last of 11 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good) 28 days ago. Big step forward needed. Has good pedigree but he finished a tailed-off last in two sprint events last month.

LTO Selection:

Having hit the frame on both of his starts, Jack Channon would appear to have found MIGUEL the ideal opportunity to open his account. The Phoenix Of Spain colt is preferred to Happy Place, whose Epsom debut was not without promise. Peter Chapple-Hyam has been ticking along nicely this campaign, and any market support for his newcomer Gregorina would make her of interest.

Having shaped well in a couple of Chepstow maidens, MIGUEL is very much the one to beat. Newcomers Medician Star and Gregorina both make some appeal on paper and it will be interesting to see how they shape up in the betting, while Happy Place's debut effort at Epsom was not devoid of promise and she shouldn't be far away.

This looks a good opportunity for MIGUEL, who sets a clear standard on his latest third at Chepstow and is open to more progress.

15:05 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.29/1 +28%) A Different Kind	0.29 0.29/1(+28%)	(1) A Different Kind 0.29/1, Multiple winner over hurdles and better with each start over fences, completing a hat-trick of novice handicaps when scoring at this C&D (good) just over 3 weeks ago. Has been found another opportunity to extend that run. Won his last three chases, last time scoring by 12l over C&D; the one to beat.
2	3 2nd (3) (14/1 +0%) Haribo Collonges	14 14/1(+0%)	(3) Haribo Collonges 14/1, Off the mark at this track in April and far from disgraced (off 7 lb higher) when third in handicap hurdle here in May. Proved to be a disappointment on the back of a wind operation when tailed off here a couple of months ago and needs to up his game from well out of the weights sent chasing. Won novice h'cap hurdle here in April; 18lb out of the handicap; stiff task on chase debut.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.5/1 -40%) Clondaw Hollow	3.5 3.5/1(-40%)	(2) Clondaw Hollow 3.5/1, Proved to be a disappointment when sent off a short-priced favourite in 4-runner in novice chase at Clonmel (20f) in June and fared no better returned to hurdling/down in grade when fourth at Bellewstown (20.4f, good) 12 days ago. Back over fences and cheekpieces go on for handicap bow. Two fair runs over fences; 19l fourth in a claiming hurdle latest; headgear now tried.

LTO Selection:

A DIFFERENT KIND made it three victories in a row when scoring in comfortable fashion over C&D last month and despite giving away 17lb and upwards to both his rivals, the six-year-old is expected to be a cut above the opposition. Clondaw Hollow may benefit from first-time cheekpieces following a below-par effort in a claiming hurdle at Bellewstown. Haribo Collonges is 18lb out of the handicap and has plenty to find on his chasing bow.

A DIFFERENT KIND is getting better with each start over fences and this looks an excellent opportunity for Donald McCain's 6-y-o to extend his winning sequence to 4. Clondaw Hollow can chase him home.

15:15 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 18f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.62/1 +14%) Way Out	1.62 1.62/1(+14%)	(1) Way Out 1.62/1, Irish point winner who opened his hurdles account from the front in a 2½m Fakenham maiden in May. Duly followed up with another sound front-running display in a Warwick handicap (21f, good to firm) later that month and, though absent since, he could be dangerous granted another soft lead. Doubly penalised returned to novice company but he's heading in the right direction.
2	3 2nd (3) (2.12/1 +34%) All The Glory	2.12 2.12/1(+34%)	(3) All The Glory 2.12/1, Gained breakthrough in this sphere with first-time cheekpieces enlisted at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) in May. Followed up in a Market Rasen novice last month, but disappointing to see her turned over when bidding for the hat-trick in a 3-runner affair at Stratford on Saturday. Improving mare who wasn't seen to best effect behind an all-the-way winner on Saturday.
3	2 3rd (2) (2/1 -23%) The Galahad Kid	2 2/1(-23%)	(2) The Galahad Kid 2/1, Unbeaten in 2 bumpers last summer and off the mark at the second attempt in this sphere at Stratford (16.3f, good). Left trailing by a progressive type upped to 19.6f at Bangor since, but should make his presence felt if responding well to the first-time tongue strap. Well beaten into second last time but actually posted best RPR yet; now tongue tied.
4	4 4th (4) (18/1 -100%) Six And Out	18 18/1(-100%)	(4) Six And Out 18/1, Runner-up all 3 starts in bumper and jumped with greater fluency than on his hurdles debut when third in of 8 in a Stratford novice (18.7f, soft) recently. If able to build on that he should pick up a race before long, but he'll probably find this a shade too competitive. Likely to need more than when third at Stratford 11 days ago.
5th	5 5th (5) (100/1 -100%) Buck Of Maine	100 100/1(-100%)	(5) Buck Of Maine 100/1, From a good French family and showed promise when third of 6 in a Plumpton bumper on debut. However, he has failed to build on that since, offering little in 2 starts since switched to hurdles. Return to drier ground may suit but still looks up against it in this company.

LTO Selection:

THE GALAHAD KID was no match for an improving rival at Bangor three weeks ago, but he had been on a steep upward curve previously. A first-time tongue-tie is applied and Fergal O'Brien's seven-year-old can resume his progression. Way Out arrives in search of a hat-trick having struck at Fakenham and Warwick in May. He merits respect on his return from a break, while All The Glory would firmly enter the reckoning if turned out quickly following her costly defeat at Stratford on Saturday.

Provided he's ready to roll following a break, WAY OUT may well complete the hat-trick. The 6-y-o raised his game when landing a Warwick handicap in decisive fashion on his latest start in May and, likely to be allowed to do his own thing out in front, he could take some pegging back round here. The Galahad Kid is likely to pose the biggest threat given that Six And Out needs to improve a chunk and, moreover, All The Glory isn't certain to go to post following her odds-on defeat on Saturday.

If ALL THE GLORY goes again after running on Saturday she might well provide the answer, as Stratford's race didn't see the best of her.

15:20 Galway Maiden Hurdle 17f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (1.25/1 +38%) Alvaniy	1.25 1.25/1(+38%)	(1) Alvaniy 1.25/1, Promising sort. First run since leaving Paul Gammell when fifth of 16 in maiden at this course (21f, good to soft, 8/1) on hurdles bow 40 days ago. Down in trip. Likely to improve for top yard. Placed in two bumpers for a small yard, dropped in trip after satisfactory hurdling debut.
2	19 2nd (19) (40/1 -21%) Whimsy	40 40/1(-21%)	(19) Whimsy 40/1, Making GB/IRE jumps debut. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (12f, good to firm, 15/2), doing too much too soon. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Flat wins for Andrew Balding came in small-field events on fast ground, Irish debut.
3	11 3rd (11) (20/1 +39%) Team Of Firsts	20 20/1(+39%)	(11) Team Of Firsts 20/1, Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 10f on flat. 50/1, fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Killarney (16.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago, not knocked about. Should improve. Two Flat wins for Ger Lyons, will be more interesting when qualified for handicaps.
4	13 4th (13) (2.25/1 -50%) Harley Street	2.25 2.25/1(-50%)	(13) Harley Street 2.25/1, Promising sort. Fairly useful winner at 12f on flat. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 9 in novice hurdle (evens) at Down Royal (20f, good to soft) 10 days ago, going with enthusiasm. More to come and leading claims. Ran in a good race on only start last season, drops in trip after recent Down Royal defeat.
5th	18 5th (18) (33/1 +0%) Late Vocation	33 33/1(+0%)	(18) Late Vocation 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Bit below form seventh of 12 in bumper at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 28/1) 10 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Third in a bumper at Tramore, needs to step up on form of two previous hurdle starts.
6th	12 6th (12) (3/1 +60%) Walmix	3 3/1(+60%)	(12) Walmix 3/1, Promising individual. Winner in bumper at Wexford in June. 28/1, good fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Tramore (21.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Back down in trip. Open to progress. Bumper winner at Wexford in June, Tramore fourth marked an improvement from hurdling debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (33/1 +34%) Champagne Dawn	33 33/1(+34%)	(4) Champagne Dawn 33/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Seventh of 11 in novice hurdle at Bellewstown (20.4f, good, 14/1) on hurdles bow 12 days ago. Mild promise when fifth of 11 in a Limerick bumper, moderate seventh on hurdling debut.
8th	6 8th (6) (50/1 +24%) Delta Melody	50 50/1(+24%)	(6) Delta Melody 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16f, heavy) 24 days ago. Placed three times in points, Tramore fifth was big step forward from his hurdling debut.
9th	10 9th (10) (80/1 +47%) Road To The Weir	80 80/1(+47%)	(10) Road To The Weir 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, thirteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (19.8f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Runner-up in a point-to-point, has struggled in his two runs over hurdles.
10th	9 10th (9) (16/1 +0%) Kalaroun	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Kalaroun 16/1, Promising sort. Modest winner at 11f on flat. First run since leaving Miss Tara Lee Cogan when fifth of 14 in novice hurdle (18/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 17 days ago. AW winner, modest turf form, showed mild promise on hurdles/yard debut at Killarney.
11th	7 11th (7) (40/1 -21%) Forever Frankie	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) Forever Frankie 40/1, Very good sixth of 10 in bumper (16/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, soft) 17 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Placed in a bumper on debut in 2021, unable to build on that in five subsequent outings.
12th	15 12th (15) (66/1 +56%) Saynothinatall	66 66/1(+56%)	(15) Saynothinatall 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in bumper at this course (16.6f, soft, 100/1) on NH debut 42 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. 100-1 when towards the rear on debut in a bumper at the festival meeting at this venue.
13th	17 13th (17) (150/1 +0%) Frisco Babe	150 150/1(+0%)	(17) Frisco Babe 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, thirteenth of 17 in bumper at Cork (18.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 35 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. 50-1 when tailed off first time out in a bumper at Cork five weeks ago.
14th	5 14th (5) (150/1 +0%) Clyde The Glide	150 150/1(+0%)	(5) Clyde The Glide 150/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Sligo (20.6f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. Huge price when tailed off on hurdling debut at Sligo, safe to rule out.
15th	3 15th (3) (150/1 +0%) Bright Lad	150 150/1(+0%)	(3) Bright Lad 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 13 in bumper (150/1) at Listowel (16f, good). Off 11 months. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Little sign of ability in five starts and has been off for 12 months.

LTO Selection:

ALVANIY could be the answer to a tricky race. He was a market mover in Galway last month, but came in fifth. That was his first run since switching to Willie Mullins, though, who drops him back in trip now. Notably, he was runner-up in a Ballinrobe bumper over a similar trip to this one for his former trainer. Harley Street is a former Curragh maiden winner who must have been showing up well at home as he made his debut in a Grade 3 juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse in February where he finished last of five. He was off for a long time before reappearing with a second-place finish in a Down Royal maiden hurdle at the start of the month and will strip fitter for that run. Hashtag Pretender showed plenty of promise when second in a maiden hurdle at Killarney last month. He wasn't at his best in subsequent placed runs at Roscommon and Tramore, but a return to better ground should aid his cause. Walmix and Smokey Putnum are others to consider.

The way HARLEY STREET loomed up over 2½m at Down Royal last time suggests this return to around 2m should suit and he's taken to strike at the third time of asking over hurdles. Alvaniy is another who may benefit from being dropped in trip and is second choice ahead of Barry Connell's Hashtag Pretender.

the vote goes to HASHTAG PRETENDER, no match for a Mullins-trained odds-on shot at Tramore but better judged on a Roscommon third

15:30 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (0.91/1 +9%) Line Of Fire	0.91 0.91/1(+9%)	(3) Line Of Fire 0.91/1, 5/2, very good second of 6 in nursery at this C&D (good) 8 days ago. Big chance if able to at least repeat that effort now equipped with blinkers. Ran best race so far when runner-up in C&D nursery last time; big player with hood added.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/1 -9%) Birkie Boy	6 6/1(-9%)	(7) Birkie Boy 6/1, 17/2, good third of 6 in nursery at this C&D (good) 8 days ago. Starting to look pretty exposed but reproduction of that should see him on the premises. 0-8 and he was behind Line Of Fire over C&D last time; needs to find more.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 +45%) Dadas Boy	6 6/1(+45%)	(4) Dadas Boy 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, eleventh of 13 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 28 days ago. Hard to warm to on this handicap debut. Struggled in maiden/novice events and he needs to do much better on this nursery debut.
4	2 4th (2) (16/1 +0%) Tenyatta	16 16/1(+0%)	(2) Tenyatta 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, last of 10 in nursery at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 42 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Has struggled in her last three runs including a Ffos Las nursery; plenty to prove.
5th	6 5th (6) (4.5/1 -29%) Mist Of Lir	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(6) Mist Of Lir 4.5/1, 9/1, good fifth of 10 in nursery at Chelmsford City (7f) 9 days ago. Blinkers back on and likely to be involved in the finish. 0-10 but wasn't beaten far at Chelmsford last time and could make a bold bid back in trip.
6th	1 6th (1) (18/1 -29%) Someone Like You	18 18/1(-29%)	(1) Someone Like You 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) 9 days ago. Makes handicap debut and needs to raise her game considerably. Well held at big prices in her three runs and needs a transformation on nursery debut.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 -108%) Forest Guest	25 25/1(-108%)	(5) Forest Guest 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in maiden (125/1) at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 10 days ago, slowly away. Another who needs to take a sizeable step forward now pitched into a handicap. Out the back in three 6f events and he needs major improvement on his nursery debut.

LTO Selection:

A little over a length separated Line Of Fire (second) and Birkie Boy (third) when the pair met over C&D eight days ago and the former, who could find more for the addition of first-time blinkers, is taken to uphold the form. However, a chance is taken on DADAS BOY. David Loughnane's youngster showed precious little across his three qualifying runs, but the son of Invincible Army is related to a trio of winners and could improve for the switch to nurseries.

LINE OF FIRE finished strongly when runner-up over C&D recently and, if able to get into a better position in the early stages this time, she could easily go one better off the same mark with first-time blinkers enlisted. Mist of Lir and Birkie Boy both look rather exposed but showed enough on their latest starts to suggest that they should have parts to play.

It is hard to get away from LINE OF FIRE (nap), who was runner-up over C&D last time and did clear best of the closers in that race.

2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 -27%) Beauty To Behold	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(1) Beauty To Behold 3.5/1, Still a maiden in this sphere but ran well on yard debut (formerly with Patrick Neville) when third of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D 23 days ago. Not taken lightly. Irish point winner; several decent runs over hurdles (3rd over C&D last time); a possible.
3	7 3rd (7) (4.5/1 +50%) Ultra Violet	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(7) Ultra Violet 4.5/1, Remains a maiden after 17 runs but in good form until only sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle here (23.9f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Cheekpieces refitted and sort to bounce back. Flat winner in France; fair form in 2m4f/3m handicaps here this summer and has a chance.
4	4 4th (4) (5.5/1 +8%) Dot Cotton	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(4) Dot Cotton 5.5/1, Still to register a win but she comes here in good nick, strong-travelling fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, soft) 73 days ago. Player back in trip off a 3 lb lower mark. Not shown enough this year to suggest she can take this on her return from a 73-day break..
5th	6 5th (6) (4.5/1 +55%) Solway Molly	4.5 4.5/1(+55%)	(6) Solway Molly 4.5/1, Yet to add to her bumper success and shaped as though a return to further would suit when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) 16 days ago, best work finish. Can give a good account now. Runner-up in handicaps over 2m/2m1f on her last two starts; place chance up in trip.
6th	5 6th (5) (20/1 -122%) Monoxide	20 20/1(-122%)	(5) Monoxide 20/1, Remains a maiden after 30 runs. 8/1, unseated rider 6th in handicap chase at Downpatrick (19.2f, good) 14 days ago. Switches to hurdles and needs more. 30-race maiden over jumps; fair 5th over 3m here on latest hurdles run; others appeal more.
7th	9 7th (9) (33/1 +0%) Solway Staree	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Solway Staree 33/1, Poor form shown thus far over hurdles and she offered little on her handicap hurdle debut at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) 16 days ago. Lots more is required. Modest in bumpers and over hurdles (2m); may improve for step up to 2m4f and good ground.
8th	2 8th (2) (10/1 -33%) Morandi Second	10 10/1(-33%)	(2) Morandi Second 10/1, Fair French maiden on the Flat. More polished on third hurdles start switched to a handicap when second at Doncaster but below par when last of 4 in juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running. Ex-French; fair form over hurdles, notably when 2nd in January; interesting now up in trip.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (40/1 -60%) Abouttimeyoutoldme	40 40/1(-60%)	(10) Abouttimeyoutoldme 40/1, Poor maiden hurdler who offered little on chase debut (sole start for Paul Robson) in May and when back in this sphere on yard bow at Hexham last time. Hard to fancy. Exposed maiden over hurdles who makes no particular appeal from 3lb out of the handicap.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (150/1 -500%) Ile De Memoires	150 150/1(-500%)	(11) Ile De Memoires 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Off 11 months before well-held eighth of 10 in novice hurdle here (16.2f, good) 23 days ago. Up in trip for her handicap debut with lots to prove. Unexposed; may improve on her handicap debut, but has shown only modest form; 10lb wrong.

LTO Selection:

BEAUTY TO BEHOLD has been running consistently well from the spring onwards and went close to getting off the mark when third over C&D last time. This doesn't appear to be a contest filled with much depth and the six-year-old may be able to take advantage. Morandi Second is open to improvement on just his fifth start over hurdles, and placed in a novice handicap at Doncaster in January. Others to note are Prince Nino and Solway Molly.

DOT COTTON has yet to get her head in front but went strongly for a long way when fifth at Cartmel last time and can capitalise on a 3 lb lower mark back in trip now. Fellow maiden Beauty To Behold is feared most on the back of her good recent C&D third, with Solway Molly and Ultra Violet appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

1	2 1st (2) (4.5/1 -29%) Opening Bid	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(2) Opening Bid 4.5/1, With the usual headgear left off, opened his account over fences at Worcester in May and hasn't looked back since, also scoring at this track before forging clear to complete the hat-trick at Stratford in July. Proved to be a disappointment bidding for a 4-timer last time but he can bounce back. His 3 good-ground chase wins since May came at a cost ratings-wise; could still go well.
2	1 2nd (1) (1/1 +20%) Investment Manager	1 1/1(+20%)	(1) Investment Manager 1/1, Opened chase account at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) in April and added to that when seeing off 7 rivals over 25.8f here (good) in July. Took his record of 3 wins from his last 6 starts when following up over C&D just under 3 weeks ago and every chance he can bring up the hat-trick. Up-and-down profile but not of late after back-to-back wins in handicaps here.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.5/1 +9%) Frankie Faulkner	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(4) Frankie Faulkner 2.5/1, Dual winner in points who confirmed the promise of his hurdles debut when landing 11-runner maiden at this track in July. Could only match rather than improve on his hurdles form on chasing/handicap debut at Fontwell and it remains early days for this point winner. Beaten 13l into third on recent chase debut and this does look stronger.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 -14%) Astroman	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) Astroman 8/1, Belatedly off the mark (fortunate winner) in 8-runner maiden hurdle at Stratford in May and followed up under a penalty back in a handicap a week later at Fontwell. Creditable third at latter course when last seen 3 months ago and now attentions are turned to the larger obstacles. Possibly on a tough mark and remains to be seen what he'll make of fences.

LTO Selection:

INVESTMENT MANAGER powered clear of his rivals over C&D to record back-to-back victories and a further 5lb hike in the handicap might not be enough to stop the progressive Joe Tizzard-trained gelding from rounding out his hat-trick. Frankie Faulkner wasn't disgraced on his fencing bow at Fontwell and is entitled to improve for that experience, while Opening Bid is most appealing of the remainder.

Although INVESTMENT MANAGER has had consistency issues in the past, Joe Tizzard's 7-y-o has won 3 of his last 6 starts and this represents a good opportunity to enhance that record further and bring up a quick-fire course hat-trick. He can get the better of Opening Bid, who rattled off a hat-trick this summer and can put a lesser effort behind him. Frankie Faulkner can fill out third spot.

Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Sligo (17.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Stable having good spell. Should continue to give a good account.

First run for yard after leaving John J. Walsh. Won three in a row two seasons ago, absent for ten months but back on reasonable mark.

LTO Selection:

Handicap debutant Tomas O Maille would have a major chance on slower ground, after giving best in third in the closing stages of a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle, but there is precious little rain in the forecast. COZONE is taken to cope with the drop in trip that he encounters here. He wasn't beaten far into second at Downpatrick and into third in Sligo which gives him stronger claims than most. As he is well versed over further, he ought to be finishing well up the stiff hill in Galway now that he has hit form. Realism was third in a Group 3 on good ground on the Flat. He hasn't been placed in five outings over hurdles, but did perform better in fifth in Down Royal at the start of the month.

REALISM caught the eye when an improved fifth on his Down Royal reappearance 10 days ago and can build on that promise now, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Listentillitellyea could pose the chief threat if bouncing back to the level of his penultimate Ballinrobe second. Tomas O Maille and Makfils are others to consider, while Kitsilano is a possible improver in handicaps.

Some useful bumper and maiden hurdle form gives TOMAS O MAILLE a solid each-way chance in his first handicap

6th	8 6th (8) (50/1 +0%) Sundowner	50 50/1(+0%)	(8) Sundowner 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Only fifth of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 77 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Eve Johnson Houghton. Not easy to make a case for. Still lightly raced but she needs a transformation at new trip for new yard.
7th	5 7th (5) (20/1 +0%) La Espanola	20 20/1(+0%)	(5) La Espanola 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, last of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 61 days ago so needs to get back on track. Still lightly raced but she was tailed off last time and comes with risks attached.
8th	7 8th (7) (125/1 -56%) Last Roar	125 125/1(-56%)	(7) Last Roar 125/1, Ninth of 10 in minor event at this course (9.9f, good, 66/1) 33 days ago. Others appeal more. Unplaced at big prices in all nine starts and was tailed off here last time.

LTO Selection:

The key to this race could be last week's clash here between CONTROL (second) and No Diggity (third), and John Butler's filly is taken to come out on top again, especially with the step up from 1m2f expected to suit. She can get off the mark at the 18th time of asking, with the unexposed Storm Valley looking best placed to chase them home.

CONTROL just failed here a week ago but can gain compensation off an unchanged mark and finally shed her maiden tag. Storm Valley wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Windsor last time and rates the chief threat ahead of C&D scorer No Diggity and Yarmouth-third Dee's Dream.

John Butler's CONTROL had a near-miss over 1m2f here last Monday and has strong claims if she can repeat that form back up in trip.

However, showed promise when fifth at Aintree (20f) in May, before possibly needing the run after 11 weeks off (following a wind op) last time. Lurks on a dangerous mark. Headstrong sort who may be suited by the drop back to 2m and he's a possible.

Going through a good spell at present and he's not taken lightly. In really good form over C&D this summer and he's a strong candidate.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/1 +10%) Just Dottie	9 9/1(+10%)	(7) Just Dottie 9/1, Offered little in bumper/on Flat but has found her feet over hurdles for current stable, overcoming a slipping saddle when scoring over C&D in May. Sent off favourite (2/1) back here on her latest outing but ran one of her lesser races. Bounce back called for. Only 8th over C&D latest but some good form this term (including C&D win); not written off.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 -150%) John The Baptist	20 20/1(-150%)	(8) John The Baptist 20/1, Fairly useful at best on the Flat but looks to have been brought along gradually in a trio of starts over hurdles for his current yard, making mistakes when fourth of 7 in novice at Huntingdon in April. Improvement required now handicapping (has had a wind op). 4yo who makes his handicap hurdle debut after a wind op, for a trainer who does well here.

LTO Selection:

WELL PLANTED struck the woodwork in a warm class 2 event over C&D last month and Mike Smith's charge is fancied to go one better, despite a subsequent 3lb hike in the ratings. Rakhine State reverts to timber following a commanding win over the larger obstacles here. He's 6lb lower than for his last hurdles success and could prove to be the main danger, although the consistent Lisa Harrison pair Malangen and Dalileo are also worth noting.

RAKHINE STATE gained a first success over fences at this course last time and he remains on a workable mark as he reverts to hurdling. He is taken to enhance his trainer's excellent strike rate at this course, with Well Planted feared most having been in good form at this C&D of late. Inca Prince is also interesting off his current mark.

Only tenth of 11 on yard debut in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 20 days ago so needs to take a big step forward.

1	1 \|PU\| (1) (14/1 -75%) Go Chique	14 14/1(-75%)	(1) Go Chique 14/1, Resumed winning ways in 5-runner handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Can go well again. Had the run of things when back on song at Market Rasen but still considered.

LTO Selection:

SLATE LANE has been well placed by Emmet Mullins to justify short prices at Cartmel and on his handicap debut at Bangor, and he can improve for this further step up in distance to defy a 10lb higher mark. Go Chique bounced back to form at Market Rasen and she should go well off only 3lb higher. Mr Yeats has been unlucky to finish second on each of his last four outings and he could get into contention again in a first-time visor.

SLATE LANE arrives firmly on the up for Emmet Mullins and a 10 lb hike in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from completing a hat-trick judged on his easy Bangor success. Mr Yeats is feared most in his bid to follow up last year's victory, with Go Chique and Valentino also in the picture.

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (4/1 -14%) Winter Fog	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Winter Fog 4/1, Smart hurdler. 14½ lengths fourth of 7 to Macgiloney in minor event hurdle at Kilbeggan (25f, good to soft, 10/11) 30 days ago. Needs to get back to his best.
2	6 2nd (6) (1.25/1 +29%) Seddon	1.25 1.25/1(+29%)	(6) Seddon 1.25/1, In excellent form for new yard last season, winning at the Cheltenham (chase) and Punchestown (hurdle) Festivals in the spring. Sharper for a recent spin on the Flat. Leading claims.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 +50%) Macgiloney	14 14/1(+50%)	(2) Macgiloney 14/1, Reliable sort. Won hurdle at Kilbeggan last month. 7/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap chase there (25f, soft) 17 days ago, going in snatches. Switches from chase to hurdles. Has a bit to find.
4	4 4th (4) (5/1 -11%) Happy Jacky	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) Happy Jacky 5/1, Useful hurdler. Second of 7 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Killarney (22.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Likely to go well if in similar form.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.2/1 +20%) An Mhi	3.2 3.2/1(+20%)	(1) An Mhi 3.2/1, Developed into a useful hurdler this season, winning all 4 starts, latest a conditions event at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) 29 days ago. Back up in trip. Has more on his plate giving weight away here but he's likely capable of even better.

LTO Selection:

SEDDON can take advantage of being best in at the weights. He ran up a four-timer between October and April and among those victories was the Plate at the Cheltenham Festival and a Grade B handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival. A recent run in a qualified riders' race at Killarney should have blown away the cobwebs. An Mhi sealed a four-timer over flights when obliging in Downpatrick last month. He faces a tough task at the weights, but is more than adept on decent ground. Winter Fog has the highest rating on 147 which entitles him to plenty of respect, however, he is more vulnerable on better ground. He was a beaten favourite in fourth at Kilbeggan in August. Happy Jacky was much improved in second in a quality handicap hurdle at Killarney which gives him a shot at prize money.

SEDDON should be spot on for this after a recent spin on the Flat and can enhance his excellent strike-rate since joining John McConnell. If Happy Jacky is in the same form as when second at Killarney last time he may give the selection most to do ahead of the progressive An Mhi.

Having run a fine race on Flat bow last time at Killarney after a break, SEDDON(nap) is well-treated at these weights and can score.

1	4 1st (4) (10/1 -11%) Shalfa	10 10/1(-11%)	(4) Shalfa 10/1, Course winner. 11/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 7 days ago but sort to bounce back. Just one win from 17 starts and has mixed record since that success; others preferred.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.88/1 +37%) Swing To The Stars	1.88 1.88/1(+37%)	(3) Swing To The Stars 1.88/1, Good third of 11 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm, 5/2) 24 days ago, left poorly placed. One to consider. 0-7 but she was an eyecatching third against a pace bias at Epsom last time; in the mix.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.5/1 -5%) Kodiman	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(2) Kodiman 3.5/1, 7/1, unlucky third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 9 days ago, running on having been denied a clear passage on the home turn. Expected to be bang there off the same mark. Eight-race maiden but he didn't get much luck when third at Chelmsford latest; dangerous.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 +9%) Mogwai	5 5/1(+9%)	(1) Mogwai 5/1, Good second of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Leicester (10f, good) 53 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. 0-8 but she's finished runner-up in 1m2f handicaps (good) in last two starts; respected.
5th	5 5th (5) (4.5/1 +10%) Lucidity	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(5) Lucidity 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/8, respectable second of 5 in handicap at this C&D (good) 69 days ago, needing stiffer test. Not ruled out. Placed behind major improvers in her two handicaps this summer and she still has potential.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 -100%) Reflex	8 8/1(-100%)	(6) Reflex 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 27 days ago. Back up in trip and in the mix. Rallied well when third at Newcastle last time and he's respected back up in trip.

LTO Selection:

The Charlie Fellowes stable can do little wrong at present and this looks like an ideal opportunity for REFLEX to get off the mark, having been placed on his last two starts over shorter. The step up in trip is a major plus and he can see off the likes of recent Chelmsford third Kodiman and Mogwai, who has been runner-up on her last two outings.

A case can be made for all of these but the most persuasive one is for KODIMAN who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Chelmsford City and can gain compensation off an unchanged mark. Swing To The Stars also wasn't seen to best effect when third at Epsom last time and can have a say too, with Mogwai and Shalfa also considered.

This looks a tight contest but Ed Dunlop's lightly raced filly LUCIDITY gets the vote ahead of Swing To The Stars.

1	5 1st (5) (3.2/1 +9%) Wasdell Dundalk	3.2 3.2/1(+9%)	(5) Wasdell Dundalk 3.2/1, Took advantage of a much-reduced mark back in this sphere when narrowly prevailing over C&D last month. Remains nicely treated up 6 lb and he has to be taken seriously. Got back on the scoresheet over C&D latest and he remains well treated on his old form.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +25%) Saint Arvans	3 3/1(+25%)	(1) Saint Arvans 3/1, Enhanced good strike-rate over fences when seeing off 4 rivals over C&D in June. Has performed with credit all 3 starts since and, having made hard work of things at Worcester last time, the refitted cheekpieces could prove beneficial. Has held his form since his last win in June and he's respected on this drop back in grade.
3	4 3rd (4) (6.5/1 -44%) Petrastar	6.5 6.5/1(-44%)	(4) Petrastar 6.5/1, Multiple hurdles winner earlier in career who was bang there when unseating rider at the last on chase debut in May. Duly atoned for that mishap over this C&D in June and, though he flopped back hurdling last time, he is unexposed in this sphere and needs considering. Won over C&D in June but he's a headstrong sort who flopped back over hurdles here latest.
4	3 4th (3) (1.38/1 +15%) Themanintheboots	1.38 1.38/1(+15%)	(3) Themanintheboots 1.38/1, Irish raider who hasn't shown much in 3 starts over fences (maiden chases) to date but resumes in this sphere on a high following back-to-back hurdles victories. May well complete the hat-trick if able to get it together jumping-wise. Two hurdle wins here this summer; big player if he can transfer progress back to fences.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (20/1 -67%) Stylish Moment	20 20/1(-67%)	(2) Stylish Moment 20/1, Improved when notching third success over fences at Haydock in April. Creditable second of 7 at Cartmel next time, but shaped as if amiss in C&D race won by Saint Arvans last time and has a bit to prove on the back of that effort. Veteran who is not easy to predict and was pulled up behind Saint Arvans over C&D latest.

LTO Selection:

Sean Bowen retains the partnership with Gordon Elliott's THEMANINTHEBOOTS having recorded back-to-back course successes over hurdles on him recently, and the progressive five-year-old can land his hat-trick provided forecast ground conditions are no issue. Wasdell Dundalk and Saint Arvans are at contrasting ends of the handicap, but both are more than capable of making their presence felt. Petrastar and Stylish Moment arrive with a bit to prove.

This race revolves around THEMANINTHEBOOTS, who has struggled in a handful of maiden chases in Ireland but makes his handicap debut in this sphere on the back of a couple of pretty decisive performances over hurdles here. He's clearly going the right way and, if the drying ground doesn't pose a problem and his jumping holds up, he will surely prove hard to beat. Wasdell Dundalk, Petrastar and Saint Arvans, all C&D winners, are feared most in that order of preference.

5yo THEMANINTHEBOOTS has won over hurdles here the last twice and is a big player if he can transfer his progress back to this sphere.

Latest win at Lingfield in July. 9/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 21 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Player, Only 2l away over this far at Lingfield last time and likely to be involved.
2	5 2nd (5) (20/1 -186%) Mrs Meader	20 20/1(-186%)	(5) Mrs Meader 20/1, Fifth of 6 in handicap (9/4) at Newbury (10f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Back up in trip. Had been in good order prior to latest effort, so every chance she can bounce back. Won three last year; has never defied this high a mark and 0-7 on the AW.

5th	4 5th (4) (5.5/1 +0%) Golden Delite	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(4) Golden Delite 5.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 4/1, first run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when fourth of 6 in maiden at Ffos Las (10f, soft) 17 days ago. Up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. One good run; still early days and tongue-tie fitted for handicap debut.
6th	9 6th (9) (66/1 -100%) Tigerten	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Tigerten 66/1, Twelfth of 14 in handicap (100/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 14 days ago, missing break. Doesn't make much appeal. Defied a higher mark for former stable but doesn't look in much form at the minute.
7th	1 7th (1) (20/1 -43%) Sense Of Worth	20 20/1(-43%)	(1) Sense Of Worth 20/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, first run since leaving Lee Carter when last of 10 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 15 days ago. Something to prove but return to AW should help. Joined current connections for only 2,200gns and at 40-1 he was last at Beverley.
8th	6 8th (6) (1.88/1 +32%) Krona	1.88 1.88/1(+32%)	(6) Krona 1.88/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 3/1) 9 days ago. One to consider. Dual winner and Wolverhampton last week never went to plan.

LTO Selection:

GOLDEN DELITE didn't make the impact expected on his first start for Mick Appleby at Ffos Las having been purchased for 130,000gns at Tattersalls July after his second at Newmarket. A repeat of that effort on the July Course would make him a tough nut to crack on his handicap debut here, though. Robusto produced a solid effort to finish third at Lingfield and is respected along with Krona.

ROBUSTO has been in good order and this doesn't look as competitive as the race he finished third in at Lingfield last time, so he's worth chancing on tapeta debut. Fellow 3yo Krona looks the main threat and Mrs Meader is expected to be back on her game.

Dual winner KRONA had a wide trip throughout before staying on too late in the day at Wolverhampton last week.

1	5 1st (5) (2.25/1 -38%) Saddlers Quest	2.25 2.25/1(-38%)	(5) Saddlers Quest 2.25/1, It took her a while to get off the mark but arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Uttoxeter and over C&D in recent months. 6 lb rise demands more but she could find it in her current mood. Up 6lb for narrow win here last time but still major player in what's not a strong contest.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +33%) Karannelle	4 4/1(+33%)	(2) Karannelle 4/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 9 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Often goes well here and her recent completions were by no means shoddy efforts.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/1 -10%) Pepsiwithacap	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Pepsiwithacap 11/1, Still a maiden and he ran one of his lesser races when eighth of 9 over C&D only 9 days ago. Hard to be too positive after that. Infrequent winner who goes well now and again but was tailed off here last week.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 -33%) Princess Midnight	6 6/1(-33%)	(3) Princess Midnight 6/1, Sound-jumping front runner who won 3 times over fences in 2022. Just as good when runner-up on first 2 outings this summer but ran poorly at Worcester in July (reportedly bled). Now reverts to hurdles after a 53-day break. Chasing is more her game but lower mark over hurdles heightens interest.
5th	6 5th (6) (2/1 +43%) Wilderness	2 2/1(+43%)	(6) Wilderness 2/1, Struggled over fences when last seen over jumps last summer but plenty of good efforts on the Flat since and she's dangerously well handicapped back over hurdles. Hasn't been hurdling for a while but was second on the Flat earlier this year.
6th	7 6th (7) (50/1 -213%) Time To Burn	50 50/1(-213%)	(7) Time To Burn 50/1, Modest maiden on Flat who ran her best race over hurdles when third of 8 on handicap debut in this sphere at Wincanton (2m, good) in March. Not in anything like the same form in a C&D novice on her reappearance 9 days but she stands a more realistic chance back in a handicap. Each-way claims despite being 5lb wrong but may struggle to win.
7th	1 7th (1) (50/1 -213%) Saywhatyouwant	50 50/1(-213%)	(1) Saywhatyouwant 50/1, Won twice for Donald McCain in the first half of last season but little impact in 2 runs on the Flat for Fergal O'Brien this summer and pulled up back hurdling for this training partnership last month. Hooded first time. Something to prove at present. Her return to hurdling 12 days ago (for new yard) was forgettable; hood added.

LTO Selection:

Saddlers Quest is in fine fettle at present, backing up her Uttoxeter success when digging deep to justify favouritism over this C&D, and another 6lb hike may not be enough to stop her from making her presence felt again. However, a chance is taken on WILDERNESS, who is rated 75 on the Flat and she now returns to this sphere on a comparatively lenient figure. Karannelle wasn't disgraced in fourth over C&D recently and she isn't out of it.

It's worth taking a chance on WILDERNESS back over hurdles as she's potentially very well treated off a basement mark in this sphere judged on the form she's capable of on the Flat. The hat-trick seeking Saddlers Quest is second choice ahead of Karannelle.

LTO Selection:

BLACK TONIC unseated his rider when disputing the lead at the penultimate flight in Killarney. He is clearly on a dangerous mark of 93 and is sure to be popular. Dunleer Phoenix was beaten a fair way into third at Bellewstown, but that was in a higher grade so he is another threat. Father Jed and Tullyhogue Fort are two of the more likely contenders among the remainder.

ROSSIES TARA can race off the same mark as when a good sixth in a big field at Tramore last time and with that form working out well she gets the vote. Getabelle is feared most on the back of her very good Cork second, with Black Tonic, Tullyhogue Fort and Onefortheditch all in the picture too.

BLACK TONIC could be up to getting off the mark if none the worse for his Killarney fall last time when looking sure to go close.

LTO Selection:

CORELLIAN STAR was demoted a place to third on her handicap debut at Chepstow having wandered around in the closing stages and the application of blinkers for the first time might help the daughter of Cotai Glory. Imperiousity finally got his head in front on turf at Salisbury and enters calculations, while last week's C&D runner-up Secret Handsheikh is another with claims.

SECRET HANDSHEIKH looked a shade unlucky when narrowly outpointed over C&D last week and, granted better luck this time, he could be the answer. The 5-y-o may have most to fear from Imperiousity, who hit the target at Salisbury recently and has finished second on two of his three previous visits here. Lightly-raced maiden Corellian Star found just one too good on her handicap debut at Chepstow and should be thereabouts once again in a change of headgear.

An open race in which the vote goes to SECRET HANDSHEIKH, who didn't get any luck when a close second over C&D last Monday.

1	2 1st (2) (3.33/1 +17%) Pammi	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(2) Pammi 3.33/1, Five-time C&D winner took a step back in the right direction after a brace of poor efforts when fourth in another C&D event (good) 23 days ago. Has edged further down weights and wouldn't be discounted. Course specialist; best run for a while here last time; well treated; worth considering.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.75/1 +0%) Headscarf Lil	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(1) Headscarf Lil 2.75/1, Returned to form on the back of a breathing op when winning 6-runner handicap here at Market Rasen in May. Respectabl efforts both starts since, not beaten too far when fourth in a 5-runner event at that same course (23.1f, good to firm, 5/1) 23 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Market Rasen winner in May; not so good last time; these conditions suit; should go well.
3	7 3rd (7) (2.75/1 +77%) Confelicity	2.75 2.75/1(+77%)	(7) Confelicity 2.75/1, Just a glimmer of promise since switching to handicaps over hurdles and ran no sort of race when pulled up in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f, good) on debut over fences 5 days ago. Others preferred. Lesser efforts the last twice but has a chance on her C&D third three runs ago.
4	5 4th (5) (22/1 -144%) Solway Primrose	22 22/1(-144%)	(5) Solway Primrose 22/1, Offered little sole start in bumpers and fared no better in a couple of runs over hurdles thus far. Improvement required making her handicap debut after a 10-month absence. Well beaten at long odds so far; up in trip for handicap debut after a break; more needed.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 +43%) Miss Wachit	4 4/1(+43%)	(4) Miss Wachit 4/1, Winless since last summer and never really threatened on her first outing after a wind-op when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (18.6f, good) 36 days ago. Temperament is still under suspicion and others are preferred. Has refused to race; fair run over 2m2f last time and should fare even better back over 3m.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (9/1 -80%) Thorsda	9 9/1(-80%)	(6) Thorsda 9/1, No show in bumpers and hasn't made any impression in 3 novice hurdles. Cheekpieces go on for handicap debut. Modest form; up in trip with headgear tried on handicap debut; interesting with Hughes up.

LTO Selection:

PAMMI showed a bit more when finishing fourth, albeit well held, over C&D last month. Jim Goldie's Perth specialist has been eased 2lb in the handicap, leaving her 4lb below her last winning mark, and it would be no surprise were she to bounce back. Headscarf Lil is capable of going well and looks the pick of the Nicky Richards pair, while Miss Wachit could show more on her second start following wind surgery.

HEADSCARF LIL has remained in decent heart since winning at Market Rase and NIcky Richards' mare makes most appeal in a contest where solid recent form is thin on the ground. Pammi has a good C&D record and ran better than for a while last time, with Millie of Mayo a very modest pick for third.

1	7 1st (7) (5.5/1 +15%) Spirit Of Ash	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(7) Spirit Of Ash 5.5/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. 15/2, again looked hard ride when fourth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Capable of going well but comes with risks attached. Sole attempt at Newcastle resulted in June success; remains unexposed on this surface.
2	2 2nd (2) (6.5/1 +13%) Balqaa	6.5 6.5/1(+13%)	(2) Balqaa 6.5/1, C&D winner. 10/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly back up in trip. Chance if able to scale a further revival. Both wins at Newcastle, the latest off this mark last September; interesting back here.
3	8 3rd (8) (14/1 +30%) Chinese Whisperer	14 14/1(+30%)	(8) Chinese Whisperer 14/1, Little show in 2 outings this year after returning from near 2-year absence. Can't be fancied. Has achieved little in two runs since returning from lengthy absence.
4	10 4th (10) (33/1 -230%) Dome Of Stars	33 33/1(-230%)	(10) Dome Of Stars 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 3 in minor event at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 26 days ago. With leading yard, so could do better on handicap debut, for all there's been no promise so far. Holds weak claims on form but may do better now handicapping.
5th	11 5th (11) (11/1 +31%) Two Rivers	11 11/1(+31%)	(11) Two Rivers 11/1, Unreliable individual. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm, 6/1) 25 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Difficult ask. 3yo maiden who has possibilities if this switch to AW prompts improvement.
6th	13 6th (13) (5/1 +33%) Ana Emaraaty	5 5/1(+33%)	(13) Ana Emaraaty 5/1, Step back in right direction when sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 27 days ago but others are more persuasive in balance. 3yo maiden; ran respectably in two C&D events last month; still unexposed on AW.
7th	5 7th (5) (22/1 +12%) Casa Luna	22 22/1(+12%)	(5) Casa Luna 22/1, Remains a maiden after 11 Flat runs. 16/1 seventh of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Still a maiden but sole start under Hollie Doyle resulted in peak RPR; one to consider.
8th	1 8th (1) (5.5/1 +0%) Ice Shadow	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(1) Ice Shadow 5.5/1, Winner at Nottingham in July. 11/2, went off too hard when fifth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, soft) 15 days ago. Worth treating as if still in form and isn't ruled out. Front-runner of late; chance would improve granted an easy lead and suitable fractions.
9th	6 9th (6) (22/1 -38%) Coconut Bay	22 22/1(-38%)	(6) Coconut Bay 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Last of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Ripon (9.8f, good) 14 days ago, going off too hard. Hood back on. Place claims if able to get back to best. 0-9 for current stable; chance partly depends on whether the reapplied hood works.
10th	3 10th (3) (20/1 -300%) Irv	20 20/1(-300%)	(3) Irv 20/1, Close second at Nottingham in July. 9/2, below form sixth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Player if able to bounce back from career-low mark. Rarely wins (just one success since 2019) and was below par here on last AW attempt.
11th	12 11th (12) (12/1 -71%) Zakram	12 12/1(-71%)	(12) Zakram 12/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Shaped as if back in form when seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 7/1) 10 days ago, left poorly placed. Not taken lightly. Well treated on 2yo form; current mark reflects his lesser achievements in 2023.
12th	4 12th (4) (3.5/1 +71%) Calcutta Dream	3.5 3.5/1(+71%)	(4) Calcutta Dream 3.5/1, C&D winner. Best effort this season when second at Yarmouth in July. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good, 22/1) 14 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Combination of new headgear and return to Newcastle may prompt a good run.
13th	9 13th (9) (50/1 -150%) Tarnhelm	50 50/1(-150%)	(9) Tarnhelm 50/1, Three wins from 79 Flat runs. 33/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 12 days ago, very slowly away. Back up in trip. Plenty to find on form. Far from consistent in recent times and losing spell goes back over three years.
14th	14 14th (14) (40/1 -21%) Stelios	40 40/1(-21%)	(14) Stelios 40/1, Placed at Beverley in June but has shown little in 4 outings since. Makes limited appeal. Maiden who needs a big revival back on AW.

LTO Selection:

SPIRIT OF ASH's only career victory to date came over C&D in June and the drop back in trip following her recent effort at Hamilton, combined with the tongue-tie being reapplied, may help her bounce back to form. Ice Shadow is better than his latest performance at Beverley suggests and the four-year-old is capable of a decent showing, while Calcutta Dream and Irv appeal most of the remainder.

Top-weight ICE SHADOW was given an overly aggressive ride at Beverley last month but had been in good form prior, including when scoring at Nottingham, so Alan Brown's gelding makes most appeal. Irv appeals as being potentially well treated and also merits respect, with the lightly-weighted Zakram another to consider.

Preference is for SPIRIT OF ASH, who won a similar event here on her sole Tapeta start. Balqaa is second choice.

1	1 (1) (1.75/1 -75%) Johnnie River	1.75 1.75/1(-75%)	(1) Johnnie River 1.75/1, Telescope gelding. Dam 1½m-1¾m winner who stayed 16.5f. Worth chancing making his debut in a very weak contest. Newcomer from a yard that's 1-48 in bumpers the last five seasons.
1	4 1st (4) (3.33/1 +58%) Jukebox Annie	3.33 3.33/1(+58%)	(4) Jukebox Annie 3.33/1, Unseated rider in bumper (28/1) at Stratford (16.3f, soft) on NH debut 11 days ago. Cheap purchase who doesn't make that much appeal. Looking a right handful at Stratford; the start wasn't the only time she unseated.
2	3 2nd (3) (0.33/1 +85%) Bradford Lady	0.33 0.33/1(+85%)	(3) Bradford Lady 0.33/1, No encouragement both starts to date but could make an impact in this if she's able to take a step forward. Beaten about 25l on soft and good going; this is weaker for sure; probably the one to beat.
3	2 3rd (2) (8.5/1 -42%) Who's Sorry Now	8.5 8.5/1(-42%)	(2) Who's Sorry Now 8.5/1, Out of a maiden hurdler and didn't offer any encouragement when last at Wincanton 10 months ago. Worth monitoring in the betting. Completely tailed off on fast ground at Wincanton last November when 66-1.

LTO Selection:

Any market support for newcomer Johnnie River should be noted, but JUKEBOX ANNIE makes the most appeal, in the anticipation that she is likely to be much better behaved on her second outing. This is a really weak bumper and she's not going to get many better opportunities than this to score. Bradford Lady and Who's Sorry Now can follow that pair home.

JOHNNIE RIVER is out of a Flat winner and makes his debut in a decidedly weak contest, so he's worth taking a chance on. The other trio are yet to show anything but Bradford Lady might do a bit better than her first couple of outings.

It's difficult to envisage a weaker bumper. BRADFORD LADY has shown enough in her two runs to believe she can take care of these.

LTO Selection:

MILFORDFOURTHREE reverted from fences when a promising fourth to Emily In Paris in a mares maiden hurdle over a similar trip at Killarney last time, and a reproduction of that form would see her go close. Nuttorridge has put together a trio of consistent efforts at Downpatrick this summer and now replaces cheekpieces with blinkers, while Amazing Amy, Delias Pet, Ballagh Star, Roman Parish and recent Sligo winner Sittingonthefence are others to consider.

The vote goes to NUTTORRIDGE, who has been knocking on the door of late and perhaps the first-time blinkers will help eke out a little more. Delias Pet caught the eye when fourth at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago (unlucky not to finish closer) and she is next on the list ahead of Amazing Amy, who has found just one too good on each of her last two starts. Jacks Fancy and Great Rainbow are both open to improvement now handicapping.

BLUE IN THE WEST is worth chancing with improvement likely from his handicap debut at Tramore.

The return to 7f should help. 0-9 since his 2yo win and he has a mixed record this season; others are more solid.
1	2 1st (2) (1.25/1 +0%) Turquoise Diamond	1.25 1.25/1(+0%)	(2) Turquoise Diamond 1.25/1, Improved in her 3 qualifying runs and shaped better than the result when 1¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Moondial on her Epsom handicap debut (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago, caught too far back after a slowish start. Remains capable of better. Wasn't beaten far on her handicap debut at Epsom and she still has potential; in the mix.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.5/1 -56%) Moondial	3.5 3.5/1(-56%)	(5) Moondial 3.5/1, In good form this summer, winning over 7f on fast ground at Salisbury in June and Epsom (Turquoise Diamond behind) in August.

3	3 3rd (3) (4.5/1 +10%) Major Gatsby	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(3) Major Gatsby 4.5/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (6f, good, 11/1) 14 days ago. Last win was over C&D and he's on a dangerous mark back in trip; possibilities.
4	4 4th (4) (6.5/1 +41%) Native Beach	6.5 6.5/1(+41%)	(4) Native Beach 6.5/1, Winner of a maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) in April. Third on 8.6f handicap debut there next time but well below par in 4 outings since. Needs to stage a revival. 0-5 in handicaps and he's been well below form in last three runs; needs major turnaround.
5th	7 5th (7) (22/1 +56%) Mayz	22 22/1(+56%)	(7) Mayz 22/1, Poor form. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 10 days ago. Others have achieved more. Has not finished closer than 8l to a winner in her seven starts; can only be watched.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 +44%) Hobson Point	10 10/1(+44%)	(1) Hobson Point 10/1, Fair maiden handicapper who ran well on first run since leaving Marco Botti when runner-up at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in June. Not in the same form faced with much softer ground at Lingfield 8 weeks later and virtually refused to race at Thirsk since. Comes with risks after that. 13-race maiden and he virtually refused to race at Thirsk last time; opposable.

LTO Selection:

Turquoise Diamond missed the break on her handicap bow at Epsom before finishing fifth and the William Haggas-trained filly appears capable of taking a step forward from that display. However, despite meeting the reopposing winner MOONDIAL on 2lb better terms, it would be no surprise to see that rival confirm the form as she seeks a third win from her last four starts. The return to 7f may benefit Major Gatsby and he completes the shortlist.

Although TURQUOISE DIAMOND was behind Moondial at Epsom last time there were excuses and she's given another chance to show she can do better in handicaps for her leading stable. The Kublers' filly can follow her home.

Moondial beat TURQUOISE DIAMOND at Epsom but the latter is still unexposed and may be able to turn the tables here.

MIASWELL ran with a fair amount of promise when filling the runner-up spot at Thirsk and the son of Gleneagles has been found a suitable opportunity to go one better. Chiefman was no match for a potentially smart type at Ffos Las and the step up in trip is likely to aid his cause, while Speed Court and newcomer Amasar can fight it out for the minor honours.

MIASWELL shaped nicely on debut and should have enough progress in him to account for this opposition. That said, Speed Court is quite closely matched with the selection in form terms and Placeholder looks a notable newcomer for a shrewd yard, so it's by no means a formality.

Experience may count here. SPEED COURT, Miaswell and Chiefman were all beaten by good prospects on their latest starts.

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (0.91/1 +55%) Calico	0.91 0.91/1(+55%)	(10) Calico 0.91/1, Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in July. 8/1, very good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (18f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Makes chase debut and will be a big player if her jumping passes the test. Rated 128 over hurdles, weight allowance gives her a big chance if she takes to chasing.
2	5 2nd (5) (2.25/1 +32%) Rexem	2.25 2.25/1(+32%)	(5) Rexem 2.25/1, Promising sort. Fairly useful winner at 23f over hurdles. Creditable fourth of 8 in novice chase (6/5) at Downpatrick (19.2f, good) 14 days ago, doing too much too soon. Leading claims. Fair 123-rated hurdler, promising chase debut at Wexford, beaten favourite at Downpatrick.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 +10%) Kiki Badger	9 9/1(+10%)	(3) Kiki Badger 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, 25/1) 154 days ago. Makes chase debut. Failed to build on bumper and maiden hurdle wins last autumn, hard to have much faith.
4	8 4th (8) (100/1 -100%) Ally Cay	100 100/1(-100%)	(8) Ally Cay 100/1, Fairly useful hurdler but hasn't shown much in 2 starts for this yard, including on chase debut last time. Flat/hurdles winner, has struggled in two outings since returning from a long absence.
5th	1 5th (1) (4.5/1 -80%) Annexation	4.5 4.5/1(-80%)	(1) Annexation 4.5/1, Useful hurdler. Creditable second of 6 in minor event hurdle (8/1) at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) 29 days ago, needing stronger gallop. One to consider on chase debut. Flat winner, rated 130 over hurdles winning twice, should be well primed for chase debut.
6th	4 6th (4) (100/1 -150%) Out The Gap	100 100/1(-150%)	(4) Out The Gap 100/1, Modest chaser. Fifth of 12 in novice chase (80/1) at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) on debut over fences 69 days ago. Looks vulnerable. 91-rated hurdler, fair chasing debut at Tipperary but will need to gain further experience.
7th	2 7th (2) (16/1 -60%) Bravo Team	16 16/1(-60%)	(2) Bravo Team 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (20.7f, good to soft, 13/2) 91 days ago, losing touch early final circuit. Makes chase debut. Yard also saddles Calico. Lost his way over hurdles after Down Royal win 15 months ago, needs to provide reassurance.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 +0%) Tony's Pet	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Tony's Pet 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Ninth of 11 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (19f, soft, 33/1) on debut over fences 59 days ago. Soundly beaten in four hurdle starts, 33-1 when last of nine finishers on chasing debut.
9th	6 9th (6) (250/1 -67%) Shackleton Island	250 250/1(-67%)	(6) Shackleton Island 250/1, Pulled up in handicap chase at Roscommon (21.3f, soft, 100/1) 34 days ago. Either pulled-up or tailed off in seven starts since 2020, can be left out of calculations.

LTO Selection:

ANNEXATION has five career wins having scored three times on the Flat and twice over hurdles and is an interesting recruit to fences. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding is well suited by a sound surface and is sure to be well schooled. Riding arrangements suggest Calico is preferred of Gordon Elliott's pair. The four-year-old filly has won three times over hurdles this year and receives 17lb from the selection. Kiki Badger and point-to-point winner Rexem are others to consider. The latter gained both hurdle wins when making all over staying trips last year and switched to fences last month when runner-up at Wexford before headed after the last at Downpatrick.

Armed with a significant 4-y-o allowance, CALICO will take some stopping if she makes a good shape over fences at the first attempt. She has won three times over hurdles this year and went close in a Ballinrobe handicap a fortnight ago. Annexation is another starting out in this sphere on the back of a solid hurdles effort and is feared most ahead of Rexem, who is the clear pick of the handful of those with chase experience.

The weight allowance for four-year-olds gives CALICO good prospects if she can jump well enough on her first attempt over fences

Ran no sort of race over a longer trip when eighth of 9 in nursery at Chester (7f, heavy, 11/1) 36 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut. Can bounce back.

Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has to be shortlisted. First-time headgear and switch to AW are possible sources of improvement.
5th	10 5th (10) (12/1 +40%) Balmanzor	12 12/1(+40%)	(10) Balmanzor 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in minor event at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 300/1) 29 days ago.

7th	12 7th (12) (25/1 -213%) Lyndsanda	25 25/1(-213%)	(12) Lyndsanda 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in nursery (25/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 22 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Shapes as if a bigger effort may be forthcoming; not without hope.
8th	8 8th (8) (16/1 -100%) Lady Of The Garr	16 16/1(-100%)	(8) Lady Of The Garr 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, failed to improve making handicap debut when fourth of 11 at Catterick (6f, good) 3 weeks ago. Remains early days. The only contestant who has Newcastle form (ran well over C&D two starts ago).
9th	11 9th (11) (18/1 -13%) Miss Rainstorm	18 18/1(-13%)	(11) Miss Rainstorm 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Showed little again when eighth of 10 in nursery (18/1) at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 37 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not entirely disgraced on penultimate run; the rest of her form is unconvincing.
10th	3 10th (3) (3/1 +54%) Desert Raider	3 3/1(+54%)	(3) Desert Raider 3/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Chester (6.1f, soft) 59 days ago. Makes handicap debut and certainly worth a second look in the betting. Bred to do better; may start to progress now qualified for a mark; possibilities.
11th	5 11th (5) (7.5/1 +6%) Tees Warrior	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(5) Tees Warrior 7.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 26 days ago. May do better now handicapping. Open to improvement now handicapping and back down in trip; one to consider.
12th	9 12th (9) (12/1 +25%) Wichahpi	12 12/1(+25%)	(9) Wichahpi 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Related to several winners for her stable; may improve markedly on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

LADY OF THE GARR has shown a bit of promise since joining the Tracy Waggott team and she must hold every chance if building upon decent efforts over C&D and at Catterick. The daughter of Mehmas remains open to improvement and she gets the vote ahead of Hooray For Hazel and Polly The Rocket, who could be dangerous for an in-form yard.

The market will no doubt prove informative with the majority making their handicap bow, but the tentative vote goes to HOORAY FOR HAZEL, who promised more than she delivered on her first start in a nursery at Catterick 3 weeks ago but now has first-time cheekpieces applied for her all-weather debut. Polly The Rocket, My Lady Samantha and Havana Prince are just a handful of others worth considering.

In a tricky nursery, the suggestion is POLLY THE ROCKET ahead of Tees Warrior.

2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +0%) Iridescent	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) Iridescent 4/1, Promising individual. 3 wins from 4 runs this season. Career best when overcoming drop in trip to win 11-runner handicap chase (7/1) at Wexford (19.8f, heavy) 31 days ago. Up 9 lb but big shout back over further now. Notched a hurdle and two chase wins recently; 9lb higher but form of last win was franked.
3	11 3rd (11) (2.75/1 +45%) Takarengo	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(11) Takarengo 2.75/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Clonmel (16.6f, good) 4 days ago. Switches from Flat to chase. Merits consideration on his handicap chase debut. Modest record over hurdles but placed few times over fences; has to rebound from last time.

7th	1 7th (1) (4.5/1 +25%) Carrig Sam	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(1) Carrig Sam 4.5/1, Pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (21f, good to soft, 12/1) 136 days ago, beaten long way out. First run for yard after leaving A. L. T. Moore. Others more persuasive. Dual hurdle winner has run well at times over fences for former yard but inconsistent.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 -67%) Rebel Early	20 20/1(-67%)	(8) Rebel Early 20/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Very good third of 7 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (19.4f, good to soft, 22/1) 143 days ago. Claims. Four-time hurdle winner ran her best race over fences last time; can go well after a break.

LTO Selection:

IRIDESCENT has returned in good form this summer winning over hurdles at Ballinrobe before scoring over fences at Downpatrick and again last time at Wexford when beating Downtown Queen (won since). He's gone up a combined total of 17lb for those two chase victories but on the plus side is in a rich vein of form and well suited by this trip. Norwigi has similar claims having won at both Roscommon and Killarney last month and any rain will help his cause. Slige Dala is without a win in three years since completing a hat-trick (2 bumpers/maiden hurdle) but has dropped down to an attractive mark and was placed last time when fitted with cheek pieces at Ballinrobe. Carrig Sam has joined Gavin Cromwell and would be a danger to all if putting in a clear round.

IRIDESCENT did well to score at Wexford last time given he was dropped back in trip and can defy a 9 lb hike in the weights now his stamina is drawn out more. Takarengo is weighted to have a big say and next on the list ahead of Slige Dala and Glenquin Castle.

The runner-up from the race that IRIDESCENT won last time at Wexford won nicely since at the same course, so he can notch another win

3	3 3rd (3) (0.5/1 +50%) Dream Final	0.5 0.5/1(+50%)	(3) Dream Final 0.5/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 40/1, showed improved form when third of 7 in minor event at this course (7.1f), well positioned. Off 8 months. Blinkers on 1st time. Lots to like for an in-form yard. Solid third at this course when last seen; leading contender on return from absence.

5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 -200%) Aurora Glory	12 12/1(-200%)	(5) Aurora Glory 12/1, Ran poorly after a 7-week break when eleventh of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Catterick (6f, good) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Not dismissed if back somewhere near her Redcar third in June. Comparatively exposed but the new trip may have positive effect.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 -100%) Jamie's Choice	28 28/1(-100%)	(6) Jamie's Choice 28/1, Peace Envoy filly. Half-sister to winner abroad by Footstepsinthesand. Dam, 1m winner, sister to useful 9.4f-1½m winner Curly out of unraced dam of National Stakes/Phoenix Stakes winner Danehill Dancer. Market check advised. Starts off at an ordinary level but her yard isn't associated with winning newcomers.

LTO Selection:

The step up in trip can work the oracle for DREAM FINAL as he tries to improve upon a pair of creditable efforts here over shorter. The form of his stable is another plus and, in first-time blinkers, he might have too much for Aurora Glory, who may be a maiden after 11 starts but surely has a race in her. Hidden Code has the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

In a contest that is unlikely to take much winning, DREAM FINAL gets the verdict to make a winning return after 8 months off with first-time blinkers applied for his in-form yard. Aurora Glory and Hidden Code can chase the selection home in that order.

Hidden Code and Aurora Glory are two of the main form contenders but the much less exposed DREAM FINAL is more appealing.

Half-sister to useful bumper/hurdles winners Jimmy Breekie and to three other winners.

LTO Selection:

THEFLYINGBEE ran a cracker on debut when finishing strongly to beat all bar the gambled-on Fortunate Lighting over C&D at the Festival meeting this summer with Shannon Bank, also having her first run, close up in fourth. The Finbarr Hand-trained mare should have learned from that experience while the same remark may also apply to Jack Martin who was having his first ride on that occasion. Just For Love is an obvious threat from the powerful Mullins yard and she's out of an unraced sister to a list of smart types including Outlander and Western Leader. Final Escape is a half-sister to five winners including Final Assault, while Westerhope and Highland Dew are other newcomers to note in the market.

JUST FOR LOVE is from a good family and represents a top stable, so there's every chance she can open her account at the first time of asking in a thin race. Theflyingbee and Shannon Bank should pose the biggest threats.

The Willie Mullins-trained newcomer Just For Love could be hard to beat but THEFLYINGBEE shaped with promise at the festival

Enters calculations. Likely player provided she transfers her Wolverhampton form back to Newcastle.
6th	11 6th (11) (16/1 +36%) Sharrabang	16 16/1(+36%)	(11) Sharrabang 16/1, C&D winner. Twenty nine runs since last win in 2021. 25/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 14 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Going through the motions at present. On a lengthy losing sequence and has lost his form recently.
7th	8 7th (8) (3.5/1 +0%) Laertes	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(8) Laertes 3.5/1, Well backed on first run since leaving Michael & David Easterby when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 11 days ago, finishing well having been left poorly placed. Has good chance on pick of form and yard does well with new recruits. Interesting off a reduced mark on second run for new yard; step back up to 6f is a plus.
8th	12 8th (12) (125/1 -150%) Henery Hawk	125 125/1(-150%)	(12) Henery Hawk 125/1, Modest performer for David & Nicola Barron but has shown nothing for current yard. Maiden; form for current yard is far from compelling.
9th	3 9th (3) (40/1 -150%) Fircombe Hall	40 40/1(-150%)	(3) Fircombe Hall 40/1, Three-time C&D winner but hasn't been seen since July 2022 and market check advised on return from lengthy absence. Three-time C&D scorer off this sort of mark; absent for 14 months.
10th	10 10th (10) (66/1 -100%) Mutabaahy	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Mutabaahy 66/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in May but hasn't made much impact in 3 outings since, so others make more appeal. Easily his best strike-rate is at Wolverhampton; only 1-26 here.
11th	14 11th (14) (10/1 +17%) Dresden Green	10 10/1(+17%)	(14) Dresden Green 10/1, Best effort this season when sixth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago but likely needs a couple of these to falter if he's to build on that. Maiden; record suggests he's not certain to back up latest effort.
12th	7 12th (7) (7.5/1 -7%) Mai Alward	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(7) Mai Alward 7.5/1, Looked hesistant when third here on penultimate outing and raced too freely when sixth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Ran well over 7f here two starts ago; sole win came at 6f; shortlisted.
13th	13 13th (13) (80/1 -60%) Holly Blackmore	80 80/1(-60%)	(13) Holly Blackmore 80/1, First run since leaving David O'Meara when sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 125/1) 16 days ago, slowly away. Hard to fancy. Made the frame in first two handicap attempts; not in same form since.

LTO Selection:

LAERTES showed enough on his stable debut at Chelmsford to suggest that he has slipped to a reasonable mark, and going back up in distance could be the key to him breaking his maiden at the 12th attempt. A winner at Wolverhampton in July, Show Compassion is a key player, along with Blackcurrent, who has placed at Southwell on his last two starts. Others to note include Magic Gem and Mumcat.

LAERTES had little go right when well backed on his stable debut last time and Mick Appleby's gelding is very much worth another chance, now 8 lb lower than when second at Chelmsford in the spring. Show Compassion chased home a prominently-ridden pair at Wolverhampton on her latest outing and rates as the main danger, with Blackcurrent and Mumcat others to consider.

Off a reduced mark back over 6f, LAERTES may be able to open his account. Mai Alward is second choice.

10	10 (10) (22/1 -57%) Lancashire Life	22 22/1(-57%)	(10) Lancashire Life 22/1, Sole success came at this C&D back in 2021. 10/1, below form when fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago, rearing leaving stalls. Had made the frame on her previous 3 starts, though. Course winner; place possibilities but has a poor 1-33 strike-rate.
1	1 1st (1) (4.5/1 -35%) Nazca	4.5 4.5/1(-35%)	(1) Nazca 4.5/1, Dropped in trip, opened his account at Chelmsford in August and followed up under a penalty in 10-runner handicap (13/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days later. Respected in his current form. 2-2 over sprint trips, both last month, and this bang-in-form 4yo has to be respected.
2	5 2nd (5) (20/1 -67%) Congress	20 20/1(-67%)	(5) Congress 20/1, Off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (6.1f) in August. Found it tougher under a penalty back in a handicap next time, though, eighth of 12 at the same C&D (10/1) 2 weeks ago. Won at Southwell two starts ago; lesser run there last time but was trapped wide.
3	7 3rd (7) (5.5/1 +45%) Noble Captain	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(7) Noble Captain 5.5/1, Has shown improved form since dropped to 6f, running well when third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11/1) 2 weeks ago. Still looking for his first win but can give another good account. 3yo; running well in defeat in 6f Tapeta handicaps and every chance he'll be thereabouts.
4	9 4th (9) (9/1 +0%) Eyes	9 9/1(+0%)	(9) Eyes 9/1, Course winner. 13/2, not discredited when fifth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Can give her running again with blinkers back on. Poor strike-rate but has run some bright races this term (including here); each-way claims.
5th	6 5th (6) (6/1 -50%) Lupset Flossy Pop	6 6/1(-50%)	(6) Lupset Flossy Pop 6/1, C&D winner. Best effort this season when third of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 10/3) 2 weeks ago, nearest finish. Leading contender off her reduced mark back at this venue. C&D winner who has posted promising performances the last twice and could be in the mix.
6th	8 6th (8) (5.5/1 +21%) Captain Dandy	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(8) Captain Dandy 5.5/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in March. Never a threat when sixth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 56 days ago, typically slowly away. Has been gelded since. Needs everything to drop right. Gelded since last run in July and a case can be made on this year's best efforts.
7th	13 7th (13) (7.5/1 +63%) Doon The Glen	7.5 7.5/1(+63%)	(13) Doon The Glen 7.5/1, Hasn't made much impact in varied events, eleventh of 14 in handicap (11/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with visor on 1st time. Half-brother to two winners for the yard but hard to fancy on what he's shown so far.
8th	3 8th (3) (20/1 -43%) Tathmeen	20 20/1(-43%)	(3) Tathmeen 20/1, Seven-time course winner, successful twice here in February. However, has been struggling for form of late, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 12/1) 2 weeks ago. Not at top of his game on last few starts but this 7-time course winner is on a handy mark.
9th	2 9th (2) (20/1 +20%) Churchill Bay	20 20/1(+20%)	(2) Churchill Bay 20/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Form has gone the wrong way this year, tenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 39 days ago. Has enough to prove at present. Close third over C&D in March when fully 16lb higher; however, he's struggled since.
10th	4 10th (4) (7/1 +30%) Deputise	7 7/1(+30%)	(4) Deputise 7/1, Course winner. Ended long losing run at Southwell in August. Not in the same form when seventh of 9 in minor event at Bath (5f, good, 5/1) 11 days ago, but could bounce back returned to tapeta. Won at Southwell last month and may not have been suited by the return to turf last time.
11th	11 11th (11) (16/1 -14%) Zegos Surprise	16 16/1(-14%)	(11) Zegos Surprise 16/1, Well below form when sixth of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Ayr (6f, soft) 6 weeks ago. However, runner-up twice here earlier this year, so she's capable if on a going day. First run for yard after leaving Iain Jardine. Patchy turf form this summer but return to this course for stable debut could be a plus.
12th	14 12th (14) (100/1 -100%) The White Elephant	100 100/1(-100%)	(14) The White Elephant 100/1, Little solid form, eleventh of 13 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, heavy) when last seen in April. Makes handicap debut on first run for yard after leaving Ronald Thompson. Makes stable debut after time off; not a forlorn hope judged on penultimate effort.

LTO Selection:

NAZCA is two out of two since returning to the all-weather, with the latest of those victories coming at Wolverhampton by a neck, for which he has been raised 4lb. The four-year-old could continue his recent progression to record a treble. The main threat might be Noble Captain, who made the frame at Southwell and looks sure to go well once more off 1lb lower. Of the remainder, Eyes makes the most appeal after her fifth at Yarmouth.

LUPSET FLOSSY POP produced her best effort of the season when third at Southwell a fortnight ago and, having won off an 11 lb higher mark at this C&D last year, she could be ready to return to winning ways. Nazca arrives bidding for a hat-trick and isn't taken lightly, with Deputise completing the shortlist.

The drop to sprinting has worked a treat for NAZCA (nap), who can make it 3-3 over 6f. Zegos Surprise is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
12	12 (12) (28/1 -12%) Dalglish	28 28/1(-12%)	(12) Dalglish 28/1, Always behind after 16 months off when thirteenth of 14 in handicap (66/1) at Southwell (5f) 2 weeks ago. Looks to be up against it. Well beaten a fortnight ago but after long absence; handy mark judged on old C&D form.
1	11 1st (11) (20/1 -100%) Phoenix Star	20 20/1(-100%)	(11) Phoenix Star 20/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. After 4 months off, never involved when eleventh of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 2 weeks ago. Mark continues to fall but others more persuasive. Form has gone wrong way this year but his mark has tumbled; second in this last season.
2	8 2nd (8) (8.5/1 -55%) Latin Five	8.5 8.5/1(-55%)	(8) Latin Five 8.5/1, Gained reward for consistency when winning at Ripon in August and produced another creditable effort when fourth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at Beverley (5f, good) 15 days ago. Can be thereabouts once more. Return to AW poses a question but major player if transferring good recent turf form.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +33%) Lady Celia	4 4/1(+33%)	(3) Lady Celia 4/1, Course winner who scored on second outing for current connections at Nottingham in July. Not discredited when sixth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good, 10/1) 3 weeks ago, denied clear run over 1f out. Shortlisted. Course winner who has been in good form in the main since joining this yard; a possible.
4	7 4th (7) (5.5/1 +31%) Aconcagua Mountain	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(7) Aconcagua Mountain 5.5/1, Below-par effort when seventh of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 9/4) 13 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Had been in good form previously, though, so could leave his latest run behind. Unplaced favourite last time but in good form previously and he's a two-time Tapeta winner.
5th	6 5th (6) (6/1 +33%) Urban Dandy	6 6/1(+33%)	(6) Urban Dandy 6/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year, latest success at this C&D in March. After 5 months off, tenth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good, 40/1) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces reapplied and could fare better back on tapeta. Down the field at Beverley recently but Tapeta seems to be his thing; one to consider.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 -14%) Glorious Rio	4 4/1(-14%)	(1) Glorious Rio 4/1, Three-time C&D winner. Placed on his last 2 starts, third of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft, 5/2) 17 days ago. Well handicapped on old form and he's a major player returned to this track. Three-time C&D winner who is in good form, and his turn may be getting near.
7th	13 7th (13) (5/1 +29%) Howyadoin	5 5/1(+29%)	(13) Howyadoin 5/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Visored for 1st time, not seen to best effect when fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 10/3) 10 days ago, hampered early. Still early days for current yard. This is just his third start for Mick Appleby, but he's 0-17 and needs to raise his game.
8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 -32%) Annie Maher	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Annie Maher 33/1, Below form on both starts for her current trainer, sixth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 27 days ago. Others preferred. Mark continues to fall but she's been soundly beaten the last twice.
9th	9 9th (9) (16/1 +60%) Fai Fai	16 16/1(+60%)	(9) Fai Fai 16/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Again finished down the field when eleventh of 14 in handicap (50/1) at this course (6f) 39 days ago. Fair run over C&D in May and he's now 10lb lower, but he has a regressive profile.
10th	10 10th (10) (40/1 -186%) Jailhouse Rock	40 40/1(-186%)	(10) Jailhouse Rock 40/1, Never a threat in 3 starts so far, last of 6 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good, 50/1) 82 days ago. Much more required as he makes handicap debut. Has shown some ability and he's one to watch in the betting off lowly mark on h'cap debut.
11th	2 11th (2) (28/1 -40%) Doctor Mozart	28 28/1(-40%)	(2) Doctor Mozart 28/1, First run since leaving David Evans when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 25/1) 2 weeks ago. Needs to get back on track making his first start at this course. In fair form on final few runs for David Evans but disappointing on recent stable debut.
12th	4 12th (4) (25/1 +24%) So Sleepy	25 25/1(+24%)	(4) So Sleepy 25/1, With blinkers and tongue strap on for 1st time, fared no better than of late when last of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm, 33/1) 19 days ago. Has failed to beat a rival since her debut success. Lightly raced 3yo who won on debut in August 2022 but has achieved very little since.

LTO Selection:

This looks like an open contest and a tentative vote goes to LATIN FIVE, who ran well from an awkward draw for fourth at Beverley. If the son of Camacho can transfer that level of form to the all-weather, he should have a big shout. Glorious Rio (second) had Aconcagua Mountain (third) just behind on his penultimate start at Ayr and he is fancied to confirm those placings, even on 1lb worse terms.

GLORIOUS RIO has been heading back in the right direction of late and he can build on his recent placed efforts to land a fourth C&D success. He is taken to get the better of the consistent Latin Five, while Lady Celia has been in good heart for her current yard and is another to consider.

The return to Tapeta is a likely positive for URBAN DANDY and he earns the vote ahead of the in-form Glorious Rio.

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.
