Brodie Hampson and LET HER LOOSE have formed quite the partnership since her return in June, winning four of her seven starts. She was short of room and lost ground at a crucial stage last time, but the Mukhadram mare is expected to bounce back today. Gift Of Raaj is fairly treated and must enter the reckoning on his first outing since April. Captain Haddock appeals most of the remainder.

CAPTAIN HADDOCK is hard to predict but is capable of defying his current mark on the pick of this season's efforts. The in-form Let Her Loose is the obvious threat.

Brodie Hampson and LET HER LOOSE have combined to win four times this summer and this could be another good opportunity.

MR ZEE made all to record a narrow success at Windsor last month and with a lack of front-runners lining up here, Michael Blake's six-year-old might be afford the same luxury. A subsequent 4lb hike in the ratings doesn't look too harsh and he is fancied to repeat the dose, possibly at the main expense of Bay Of Naples. Others to note include Hot Team and Iconique.

There could be more to come over this trip for HAAF A DIAMOND and she makes plenty of appeal at the foot of the weights. Twilight Guest came clear with an unexposed rival at Chelmsford last time and is second choice, ahead of Iconique.

Refitting cheekpieces is a plus for Nonsuch Lad but HAAF A DIAMOND may well appreciate the step up in trip and is preferred.
Class & Speed Card

Mutual Respect must enter calculations as the only recent winner in this contest, although a 5lb rise for his Uttoxeter success may be enough to prevent the seven-year-old from following up. GONE IN SIXTY displayed enough encouragement on his chasing debut at Market Rasen last month to suggest that a race of this nature is within his compass. Alex Hales' gelding shades the vote, while any market support for stable debutant Methusalar would bring him into the reckoning too.

A trappy opener to dissect and with that in mind it could pay to take a chance on LUSTANIEN. He lost his way for his previous stable but starts out over fences for a yard in red-hot form and it would come as no surprise to see him make an impact from this basement mark. Uttoxeter-winner Mutual Respect and Methusalar are others to consider, whilst Honneur de Sivola can't be discounted either equipped with first-time blinkers.

Provided that he takes to the new blinkers then HONNEUR DE SIVOLA might be the answer to an open-looking handicap.
Class & Speed Card

MUTANAASEQ made it two wins from his last couple of visits here when successful over course and distance last month. Ruth Carr's gelding was raised 4lb in the handicap for that effort, but he still has a bit in hand judged on past exploits and is taken to follow up. Galileo Glass struck at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and is likely to be thereabouts back on turf, along with the class-dropping Saisons D'Or. Hot Scoop and Without Delay are just two others to consider.

LIBERTY BREEZE has an excellent record over C&D and is taken to add to it having returned to form at Southwell 15 days ago. Mutanaaseq arrives in good order and is expected to give another good account, while recent C&D winner Hot Scoop is completely unexposed at the trip.

Mutanaaseq holds solid claims but preference is for SAISONS D'OR who is taken to capitalise on some help from the handicapper.
Class & Speed Card

In a race full of unknown quantities, only a tentative vote can go to SPIRITUAL. The 280,000-euro purchase is likely to be targeted over middle-distances next year, but this could be an ideal starting point, The application of a hood should come as no concern for a stable who have been known to employ similar tactics. Surveyor shaped with promise on her debut last month and is likely to be thereabouts with improvement on the cards. Elegant Friend and Soft Winds make plenty of appeal on paper, but with William Buick aboard the former for Charlie Appleby, she could be the pick. My Desert Queen is also noted.

Some likely types among the newcomers. ELEGANT FRIEND, the mount of William Buick from the Charlie Appleby pair, is the tentative suggestion, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Her stablemate Soft Winds and the Gosdens' Spiritual are other debutantes who make plenty of paper appeal. Surveyor shaped well first time up and looks pick of those with experience.

Saratoga Star, Surveyor and WORD PLAY can all build on promising debuts. The selection's yard has a good record in this race.
Class & Speed Card

SHOT TOWER almost caused an upset when finishing second from out of the weights at Newton Abbot last Saturday and holds leading claims now racing off his actual handicap mark in this contest. Mix Of Clover appeared to benefit from first-time cheekpieces, having been beaten just under two lengths at Stratford in late-August, with Alastair Ralph's nine-year-old likely to be in the mix on the return to 2m4f. Glajou also merits consideration if putting it all together.

MIX OF CLOVER responded well to this headgear when a close third at Stratford on his return to fences recently and gets the vote off the same mark with all his rivals arriving with something to prove. Shot Tower might have been flattered from well out of the handicap when second of 3 at Newton Abbot but still rates the main threat now racing off his correct mark.

As most of these come with risks it's worth giving SHOT TOWER the benefit of the doubt for his much-improved run last week.
Class & Speed Card

O G BEACHWEAR has shown good early speed on each of her runs over further. She was turned over at prohibitive odds last time, but the drop in trip might be just what she needs to shed her maiden tag. Della's all-weather form makes her the biggest threat to the selection on this switch to turf, while both Chattel Village and The Spinmeister arrive with something to prove.

There's little to choose between O G BEACHWEAR and Della on form, but the former has been supported in the market recently as though more is expected and she gets the nod.

Having run well to finish in the first three in the spring on her last two starts, DELLA earns the vote ahead of O G Beachwear.
Class & Speed Card

An interesting contest on paper in which a chance can be taken on LINE SHEET. Soft ground might have gone against her at Chester last month, but she ran well for a long way and might be able to build on that back on a sounder surface. Autumn Rose and Mad Punter will both need to improve, but a switch to nurseries might hold the key.

The vote goes to MULLINS BEACH who was a good second in similar company at Wolverhampton last week. Tom Marquand takes the ride on Tony Carroll nursery newcomer Autumn Rose who could be the one for the forecast spot on the back of her Chester second.

Mullins Beach is more exposed than his rivals but should go well. He may have to give best to the interesting MAD PUNTER, though.
Class & Speed Card

POLICE ACADEMY has proved a perfect graduate since making a winning stable debut for the Fergal O'Brien team in July and a hat-trick looks in the offing now only 5lb higher than her Bangor triumph last month. The trip looks on the edge of Izayte's stamina if judged on his third-placed finish over C&D in late-August. Nevertheless, the five-year-old may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Ben Lilly, who returns to action off a dangerous mark.

POLICE ACADEMY has made an excellent start for Fergal O'Brien and the hat-trick looks firmly on the cards. Izayte and Painless Potter appear to be the main dangers.

Police Academy is feared but PAINLESS POTTER is a consistent 5yo who could enjoy this longer trip.
Class & Speed Card

One More Dream took advantage of a declining mark when getting up to lead in the dying strides over C&D recently, with a 3lb rise in the ratings unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, HAVANA RUM finished third in what looked a slightly stronger contest at Carlisle earlier this month and is fancied to score a first success of the season now 1lb lower in the handicap. Fellow in-form rivals Wade's Magic and Langholm also enter calculations.

WADE'S MAGIC is going through a good spell at the moment, which includes a win over C&D, and shades the vote over One More Dream, who was a narrow winner over this C&D under this rider 2 weeks ago. Langholm should also be in the mix again.

After doing pretty well to finish third from stall 12 at Carlisle recently, HAVANA RUM might be the answer off a 1lb lower mark.
Class & Speed Card

COOL DIVIDEND sets a strong standard on his C&D second last month and a similar performance may be good enough to see the Profitable colt go one place better. Liveandletlive looks a likely improver after running with plenty of promise on his fifth-placed debut at Sandown in August and could give the selection most to think about, although any market support for newcomer Ciro Di Marzio, a half-brother to the Canadian Grade 1-winning Fog Of War, may prove significant.

COOL DIVIDEND produced another promising effort when again finishing runner-up behind a useful prospect over C&D 4 weeks ago and with the prospect of more to come, he earns the vote to go one place better. Speeding Bullet, another with an experience edge over plenty, can also figure, with Ciro di Marzio and Placo a couple of newcomers to note.

Ralph Beckett's Justify newcomer CIRO DE MARZIO is bred to be useful so can go in at the first time of asking from Cool Dividend.
Class & Speed Card

MARVEL STAR kept on to finish a solid third over 2m2f at Sligo on her final start for Margaret Mullins last month. Now in the care of Alastair Ralph and sent over an extra two furlongs, she could shed the maiden tag. Come On Du Berlais sets the standard with an official rating of 105 and is unlikely to be far away. Fountainspinklady was unable to justify strong market support on her hurdling bow, but she can take a step forward with that run under her belt.

MARVEL STAR made an encouraging hurdling debut at Sligo last month and rates a likely improver now faced with a stiffer test of stamina, so she's taken to make a successful start for her new stable. Presenting Nelly will be suited by a return to this trip and can go on progressing, with Come On du Berlais also feared.

Alastair Ralph's new recruit MARVEL STAR showed enough in Ireland to believe she might be the answer.
Class & Speed Card

Four-time C&D winner JAMIL rarely runs a bad race at this venue and has showed enough on his last two appearances to suggest that he can defy his current rating of 59. This Ones For Fred finished ahead of the selection by a head when triumphant over track and trip in early August and may give the eight-year-old most to think about, ahead of The Dancing Poet, who could appreciate the return to 1m4f.

Cases can be made for several of these and, at the likely prices, HAVEN LADY gets the nod. She failed to fire when returning to action recently but that run will have blown away the cobwebs (first start for four months) and her reduced mark and record here are positive factors. Prince Achille was in good form prior to a below-par run on the all-weather and should go well back on turf, while Propagation, though 0-20 in this sphere, also has claims but Jamih appears to have gone off the boil.

Four-time C&D winner JAMIL (nap) continues in good form and is the selection ahead of Prince Achille.
Class & Speed Card

Aidan O'Brien has won nine of the last 12 renewals, including with Kyprios in 2020, and his GROSVENOR SQUARE is a half-brother to Irish Derby winner Santiago. By Galileo, and with Beresford and Royal Lodge Stakes entries later this month, he could be smart. Stablemate Brave And Bold provides company and while he is by Frankel and is a brother to a Listed winner, holds no big-race entries and is, potentially, second-string. Gandolfo has form and and should run to a useful level but was probably flattered by his finishing position, racing against newcomers, at Leopardstown. Naturally Nimble was a E140,000 breeze-up purchase last May and is a half-brother to a Group 3 winner and while he holds a Beresford entry, is already gelded. Norwalk Havoc has been gelded since a disappointing debut.

Tricky, and the market should offer vital clues. GROSVENOR SQUARE, Brave And Bold and Naturally Nimble are all bred for big things and are preferred in that order as things stand.

Experience is often a big help to a juvenile at this venue and perhaps GANDOLFO can master Grosvenor Square
Class & Speed Card

HAARAR returned to form with a solid runner-up effort at Epsom last month and compensation could await on this occasion. Tarraff ran as well as expected on her third-placed finish in a novice event at Windsor in August, with the three-year-old filly expected to remain competitive now entering handicaps off a fair opening mark. Waterloo Sunset has posted several creditable efforts in defeat this season and also merits consideration.

HAARAR goes off the same mark as when runner-up at Epsom last time and is taken to go one better now. The reliable Waterloo Sunset is likely to be in the shake-up again, while Tarraff brings unexposed potential to her handicap debut and is one to note in the market.

Michael Bell's HAARAR can race off the same mark as when an excellent Epsom second last time so gets the vote from Waterloo Sunset.
Class & Speed Card

KARAVOMYLOS got the better of a subsequent winner when successful over C&D three weeks ago, so a 4lb rise not be enough to prevent the unexposed son of Milan from following up. Nickelsonthedime arrives in terrific form having scored on two of his last three starts. Kayley Woollacott's charge is the main danger, while Hardy Boy and Pottlerath should not be far away either.

KARAVOMYLOS has had the form of last month's C&D win franked and a 4 lb rise may not prevent him going in again. Nickelsonthedime is another who arrives at the very top of his game and is second choice ahead of the reappearing Chives.

A chance is taken on CHIVES, who has a lot in his favour if he returns from a break in top order.
Class & Speed Card

Turned out again quickly after being narrowly denied at Wolverhampton on Saturday, MURBIH can gain compensation on this occasion, while upholding form with Albegone (fifth) from his penultimate second over C&D. Runner-up on his last two outings, Birkenhead must also enter calculations, along with Castan, who won over C&D this time last year and remains on a mark that he should be able to win off again.

VADAMIAH has followed her encouraging reappearance spin with a couple of low-key efforts, but she's 3-5 at this course and this represents a significant drop in class compared to the valuable handicap she contested at the York Ebor meeting last month. Paul Midgley's charge is taken to bounce back and enhance her good record here. Birkenhead is next on the list, though a back-to-form Havagomecca would be a live danger and Murbih also enters calculations.

Catterick brings out the best in VADAMIAH and she earns the vote after a fair run in a higher grade at York. Jojo Rabbit is feared.
Class & Speed Card

Connections of LAUGHIFUWANT will be doing a rain dance ahead of the forecast precipitation. Once rated 106, he returned to form recently, ran well in the Cesarewitch last month and is a three-time course winner. Adelaise has run well in big handicaps this summer and was recently second in a similar race at Leopardstown. Fourth at Royal Ascot in June, she has held her form and is again ridden by a 7lb claimer but softening ground would be concerning. Duke Of Leggagh will be suited by softening ground but has been well enough held recently while Trachonitis also likes soft but was behind Duke Of Leggagh in March. Shigar has plenty to find with the selection on course form last month.

ADELAISE remains winless this term but turned in another solid effort when runner-up at Leopardstown (1m) 3 weeks ago and in a race where a host have something to prove, she looks to hold sound claims. Laughifuwant is fancied to emerge as the chief threat.

This is a tight little contest but LAUGHIFUWANT has a good record at this venue and should have ground conditions to suit
Class & Speed Card

CZECH HER OUT appeared sweetened up by a change of scenery when winning with plenty in hand at Perth last month. A 5lb rise looks more than fair for that victory and the nine-year-old should take all of the beating if in a similar mood. Captain Tommy regained the winning thread over fences at Worcester a fortnight ago and may give the selection most to think about switching to hurdles, ahead of the in-form Judicial Law.

CZECH HER OUT was better than ever when making a winning stable debut at Perth last month and this strong-travelling mare may have even more to offer. Ashington is below his last winning mark so is feared, along with Judicial Law, who has cheekpieces on for the first time.

He tired on heavy ground last time but DIDTHEYLEAVEUOUTTO remains well handicapped after his last-gasp win two starts ago.
Class & Speed Card

A taking winner at Bath last time out, MISS BLUEBELLE must hold every chance of following up off a 6lb higher mark. The four-year-old remains relatively unexposed and she gets the vote ahead of the likes of Epsom runner-up Oh So Grand and Zarabanda, who arrives on a hat-trick, but both those wins were on soft ground. Newbury winner Al Hargah and Love You Grandpa are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

A low-mileage daughter of Postponed, OH SO GRAND got the better of a prolonged battle with the eventual third only to find herself mugged late on by one very much on a going day at Epsom 2 weeks ago and, remaining low-mileage, she gets the narrow vote to come out on top. Facile Bath scorer Miss Bluebelle and low-mileage Love You Grandpa head the dangers, with Zarabanda another in the mix in what rates a highly competitive fillies' handicap.

A few of these come here in peak form but LOVE YOU GRANDPA deserves at least one chance to confirm her 3yo promise.
Class & Speed Card

Emanate sprung a massive shock when winning at odds of 100-1 over track and trip in July and he warrants consideration off just 3lb higher. However, a chance is taken on ONNAROLL. The five-year-old hasn't been the most consistent, but there was plenty to like about his recent Fontwell second. Having travelled strongly into contention, he found just one too strong and a similar effort could see him go one better. Diana Prince is another to consider.

ONNAROLL left his previous form well behind when a clear second from 12 lb out of the handicap at Fontwell and, if able to back that effort up here, he will surely go very close off his correct mark here. Coastal Sun was left with too much to do last time and, better judged on her creditable effort at Stratford in July, she is feared most. Though absent for over two years, Foxey is of interest on debut for Olly Murphy and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting.

Not many of these ran that well last time. ONNAROLL (nap) wasn't obviously flattered by his improved second at Fontwell.
Class & Speed Card

This is a drop in class that DREAM TODAY can take advantage of. It is worth noting that he travelled notably well on the beach last year before winning by more than two lengths. He landed that race off a mark of 80 and effectively returns to Laytown off 69 with Cian MacRedmond's claim factored in. He is the only Laytown winner in the field which is a big advantage. Transcendental is dropping down the weights and looks to be on a decent mark as just four runs back she won a quality handicap in the Curragh off 1lb higher. Aloysius Lilius won on his penultimate start in Tipperary and is capable of going well. James McAuley fields Sunday Sovereign and Jaafel, and neither can be ruled out. The former would be particularly dangerous if given rope off the front.

Having won at this meeting last year, the assessor has given DREAM TODAY a major chance of repeating the trick. Transcendental and Jaafel are a couple of potential threats.

A winner here last year, Dream Today is feared but TAMAZU should be able to find a nice rhythm on this surface and is taken to score
Class & Speed Card

VORTIGAN (third) may have half a length to make up with Wreck It Ryley (first) from their most recent clash at Ayr, but the former is 2lb better off now and may be able to finally get off the mark at the 11th time of asking. Highfield Viking has run with credit the lat twice, but has yet to rediscover the form he showed when scoring at Doncaster in April.

Though VINCE LE PRINCE has yet to add to his 2-y-o debut success, he wasn't beaten far in a higher-grade handicap at Haydock last time and could be worth siding with off a 3 lb lower mark here with cheekpieces enlisted. Highfield Viking was ahead of the selection in that Haydock race and should be in the mix, while Cuban Rock could also play a part if able to shake-off his poor effort at Musselburgh a fortnight ago.

A tight-knit handicap but Grant Tuer's WRECK IT RYLEY arrives in excellent form so edges the vote from the reliable maiden Vortigan
Class & Speed Card

IMPOSING SUPREME is a three-time course winner who continues to hold form. Nicely drawn in 6 and a winner last July, his rating has dropped a little recently and is ground-versatile. Facethepuckout carries a bucket of weight more today than in the recent Cesarewitch but met significant traffic then and wasn't beaten a million miles. A ground-versatile four-time winner, he seems suited by this slightly longer distance nowadays and is dependable. Colin Keane is booked for stablemate Rockbury Lad, who disappointed at Killarney and is a 17-race maiden, but had previously met trouble in-running at Leopardstown. Dual course-and-distance winner Out On Friday has his Galway 10th run and won the 2020 renewal. He might prefer slightly further nowadays and was reported to have hung right at Naas last month. Rampage continues in form under his 7lb claimer and should compete from his career high rating. Veteran On Cool Poet won three times at the 2019 Galway festival but hasn't won on the flat since September 2019.

ROCKBURY LAD needs to shrug off a lesser effort in blinkers at Killarney but he'd previously been shaping up well and, with cheekpieces refitted, it would come as no surprise to see a better showing. The selection's stablemate Facethepuckout and Rampage are a couple of likely threats, with Pierre Lapin another worth keeping an eye on.

Both Michael O'Callaghan runners are of major interest, with narrow preference for FACETHEPUCKOUT over Rockbury Lad.
Class & Speed Card

Little separates those likely to be at the forefront of the market, with a tentative vote going to Charles Byrnes' THE MASS PATH. The six-year-old's stamina appeared stretched by the extended 2m4f distance at Wexford recently and a first success could be on the cards now dropping in distance. The returning Caithness offered enough earlier in the year to suggest that he can play a part in the finish too, with Noble Anthem making most appeal of the remainder.

THE MASS PATH failed to improve any further switched to a handicap last time, but there's a strong feeling he still has a bigger performance in his locker and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Caithness rates the main danger.

This is a good chance for THE MASS PATH, who will be a tough nut to crack if somewhere near the form he showed at Sligo two runs ago.
Class & Speed Card

Turned out again quickly under a 6lb penalty after scoring readily at Bath last week, MOULIN BOOJ sets the standard on the back of that and conditions should be in his favour once more. Leodis Dream bounced back to winning ways at Beverley earlier in the month and looks to be a key contender, along with the prolific Hurt You Never, who could be suited by dropping back in distance.

MOULIN BOOJ looks a 5f natural and a penalty for last week's smooth Bath win may not prevent further success. Leodis Dream and Hurt You Never are a couple of viable threats.

This looks good for the progressive MOULIN BOOJ (nap) to follow up last week's Bath win. Stone Of Destiny is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

SAMROGUE won this race last year and warmed up for another big run when beaten half a length into second at Cork in July. She is undoubtedly well handicapped as she competes off 10lb lower than when taking the honours 12 months ago. Interestingly, she has had the same preparation as last year when she was put away after winning at Cork in July. Jered Maddox ran a stormer in second at 33/1 in a big-field handicap at Cork earlier this month. This is his first visit to the beach, but he has extensive experience on the sand in Dundalk to call upon. Zig Zag Zyggy is on a very handy mark and Adam Caffrey takes 5lb off his back. This is a new trip for Barnhill Rose, but she arrives in winning form over an extended 7f at Roscommon. Teddy Boy, Rocky Dreams and Markievicz cannot be ruled out while reserve Eriskay would have a chance if getting a run.

SAMROGUE beat Teddy Boy in this last year and they might be the pair to focus on again with Ross O'Sullivan's mare taken to come out on top again. Recent Dundalk claiming winner Rocky Dreams also makes the shortlist.

Having returned to form when touched off at Cork, SAMROGUE is handicapped to repeat last year's success in this sprint
Class & Speed Card

TANNOLA bumped into the Ingabelle Stakes winner at Naas last month and unless she bumps into another high-class newcomer, should win. Unrelated to her trainer's Tahiyra, she nonetheless has an excellent pedigree and has shown a high level of form in two runs. She has already comfortably beaten the previously-raced runners. Newcomer Vassula Ryden also has a good pedigree, being out of a Listed winner which has already produced a triple-Group 3 winner. She could be smart but concedes 2lb to the selection and debuts at a difficult course for newcomers. Fellow debutante Miss Tapley, the 14th foal, is a half-sister to eight winners and could also be useful. The Crafty Girl showed some improvement at Cork.

TANNOLA sets a tall standard, and should be a tough nut to crack, though Miss Tapley, in particular, and Vassula Ryden are newcomers with some appeal on paper, and market support for either must be noted.

This should be straightforward for TANNOLA, whose Naas run was strongly endorsed by the winner Kitty Rose at Leopardstown on Saturday
Class & Speed Card

BELLA BLISS impressed with her jumping when winning on her chasing debut at Ballinrobe and likely has more to come in this sphere. The six-year-old looks the one to be on now likely favourite Pull Again Green has been declared a non-runner, although Johnson's Blue was a progressive hurdler last season and shouldn't be underestimated now tackling larger obstacles for the first time.

BELLA BLISS jumped well when making a winning start over fences at Ballinrobe and that experience should prove key in this match as she takes on chasing newcomer Johnson's Blue.

Recent Ballinrobe winner BELLA BLISS can put her experience over fences to good use.
Class & Speed Card

YESTER ran more than creditably on the beach last year when pipped by a head in a a maiden over this trip and can go one better. Trainer James McAuley has a good handle on this grade of race and claimed Yester after he was beaten just over two lengths into fourth at Dundalk in July. Rachael Blackmore is a notable booking for Clarinbridge who won on penultimate start over an extended 7f at Ayr. General Idea's eighth place in Cork can be marked up as he was beaten just over two lengths at the finish, and the handicapper has dropped him a further 1lb.

YESTER is hardly one for maximum faith but he ran a bit better in a Dundalk claimer last time and was second in a maiden at this meeting last year so perhaps he can finally get off the mark. The Rachael Blackmore-ridden Clarinbridge is second choice ahead of General Idea.

His C&D second to a horse now rated 100 really stands out and this is a big chance for YESTER (nap) to finally get a win on the board
Class & Speed Card

GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI is winless since March 2022 and has been running over a mile recently but runs in a winnable race. His previous win came at this distance and being a keen-goer, is likely to race with the pace, although softening ground would be a concern. Mercurial's only win, from 21 runs, was in 2021 but ran well over six furlongs at the Curragh. He should be suited by reverting to this distance and competes from a career-low rating, under his usual 7lb claimer. Storm Eric's only win, and his best form, is on the all-weather but his rating has fallen recently and will also be suited by reverting to this distance. Purring Along has been running well and was a distance winner in May while Inablink showed minor promise on recent handicap debut. Dance Emperor, who returned from 683 days off recently, will be unsuited by this distance.

GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI produced his best effort yet for his present yard when runner-up at Killarney in July and, operating from a handy mark/partnered by Colin Keane, he could be worth siding with to build on that now. Purring Along rates a threat, with last year's winner Pimstrel another worth keeping an eye on. Mercurial can't be ruled out either.

Best on a sound surface, GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI won't want much rain to fall but if it stays dry he has the speed to break his turf duck.
Class & Speed Card

FIRST REVOLUTION could easily be arriving on a hat-trick but for being narrowly denied at Market Rasen, and the conditions of this race should suit as he looks to notch a fifth career success. That may be at the main expense of Fusain, who makes some appeal returning from a summer break. Sword Of Fate arrives in good nick and is another to be interested in.

FUSAIN can resume winning ways back down in class after a break. The in-form First Revolution only just failed at Market Rasen last time and is next best ahead of likely front runner Sword of Fate.

Nine-time chase winner SWORD OF FATE gave a really good account of himself under a very positive ride at Cartmel a fortnight ago.
Class & Speed Card

BAALBEC BEAUTY left a trio of unplaced runs well behind when pipped by a neck in Gowran Park. The horse that beat her endorsed the form when following up in Killarney. Allo Arry has been placed in two of his last three outings and should be a factor under 5lb-claimer Adam Caffrey. Expound takes a marked drop in trip in a bid to snap a string of five placed runs in a row. His consistency is likely to stand to him in this company. Knight Sleeper is far from exposed and tries a new trip while Ta Na La reverts back to the Flat after hurdling, and has placed form at Dundalk in the book.

EXPOUND's limitations are pretty well established but he probably won't get a better chance to win a maiden if handling the track. Baalbec Beauty and Ta Na La head the opposition.

This looks a good opportunity for EXPOUND to finally get off the mark and see his consistency rewarded.
Class & Speed Card

ECHOES IN RAIN won the amateur handicap at this course in 2022 and drops in grade having been well held in the Ascot Gold Cup in June. A smart middle-distance hurdler, she could well be better suited by dropping to this type of flat middle-distance, given she is such a keen-goer. Azazat has smart recent form, is ground-versatile and should compete, despite running in first-time cheekpieces. She holds maiden Thunder Roll (by 1.75 lengths) and Final Gesture (11 lengths) on Cork form in June. In-form Amusement is ground-versatile and should get involved but also runs in first-time cheekpieces. Lot Of Joy has run three times at this course without winning and drops in distance.

The drop back in trip shouldn't hinder ECHOES IN RAIN at this level and she can resume winning ways. Her stablemate Lot of Joy is a potential threat, while Amusement looks the pick of the 3-y-os.

Older runners have tended to do better than the Classic crop in this race in recent years but AZAZAT has strong prospects nonetheless
Class & Speed Card

This can go the way of Irish raider JUMPING SUSIE, who may have disappointed on her latest start at Cartmel but is better judged on her two starts previous to that when second. The five-year-old gets the vote ahead of the likes of Here Comes Georgie and Imperial Data, who has shown more than enough in his career so far to suggest that he can score in this company.

John McConnell does very well with his runners in Britain and this looks a good opportunity for JUMPING SUSIE to get off the mark. The reappearing Jem In Em might be the one to follow her home.

John McConnell's JUMPING SUSIE (nap) has solid claims on these terms if judged on her second to a next-time-out winner at Killarney.

Adrian McGuinness and Patrick Mullins teamed up to win this race last year and could repeat the feat with HIGHTIMEYOUWON. This seven-year-old gelding just shaded a handicap at Leopardstown by a short head last month and goes to war off the same mark of 80. This is a competitive race and Barbapapa brings plenty to it as he was another winner at Leopardstown in August. Jockey John Gleeson's 5lb claim is a bonus. Set Point has been keeping good company over flights and was runner-up in a valuable contest at Bellewstown in July. He should be competitive here. Royal Pippen and Punk Poet are both in contention for prize money.

The handicapper has been quick to relent regarding TAI SING YEH and given his AW record, hopes are high on this surface. Barbapapa is a low-mileage 4-y-o going the right way so he's a threat, along with Hightimeyouwon.

A few with chances. BARBAPAPA benefited from an enterprising ride last time but could still follow up off what remains a good mark.

The well-bred EVANS SECRET ran well on handicap debut over course-and-distance last month. A 45,000gns yearling and out of a winning half-sister to Group 1 winner Mukhadram, he stayed on well from off the pace in August, is suited by easy ground and is open to plenty progression. Kermiya also ran well on handicap debut recently, finishing ahead of Glyde Ranger. Aga-Khan owned-and-bred, she finished well at Navan and while she drops in distance, has proven form on easy ground and should benefit from that handicap-debut. Chatterbox also ran well over this distance at Killarney. She should again compete from her rating but is vulnerable to unexposed types, being a 10-race maiden. Elsa's Pride won on handicap debut at Cork and while softening ground could be a concern, is open to more progression.

KERMIYA showed much-improved form when a length third on her handicap bow at Navan 12 days ago and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark with further progress on the cards. Chatterbox was only just denied off this mark at Killarney last time and is next best ahead of the versatile Golden Sandbanks.

Having been chinned on the line at Killarney last time, CHATTERBOX(nap) should be able to go one better off the same mark.

A taking winner on his latest start in the UK, I AM SPIDER MAN looks to have been found another ideal opportunity. The form of his penultimate second at Tramore should be strong enough to land this contest, with the consistent veteran Jimmy Rabbitte looking best placed to chase him home. Call Me Harry is interesting on his handicap debut and could be off a workable mark.

JIMMY RABBITTE is taken to deservedly bring the curtain down on a long losing run. The 10-y-o returned to form when going close over this C&D in May and has remained in good form since, leaving the strong impression that a belated return to the winner's enclosure is near. There could be better to come from Call Me Harry now switched to handicap company and he is second choice ahead of I Am Spider Man and Darkest Day.

If all goes well today, dual bumper winner CALL ME HARRY is open to significant improvement on this handicap debut.

Joseph O'Brien holds a very strong hand with VEGA MAGNIFICO and Arniemac. The former is comfortably the highest rated in the field with a mark of 98 and should relish this marked drop in class. He wasn't a factor in the Irish Cambridgeshire at the Curragh or in a Listed race at Roscommon, however, just three runs back he finished a close third in Listed class at Leopardstown. Arniemac was last seen decisively winning a maiden at Killarney in May. Winners have come out of that race and he ought to go well in this company. Herculaneum is rated 1lb inferior to Arniemac on a mark of 82 and was a comprehensive winner of a staying handicap at Down Royal in July. This trip is sharp for him, but he is well ahead of the remainder on official ratings.

On the face of it, ARNIEMAC faces a stiff task against stablemate Vega Magnifico, given that he would be meeting that rival on 15 lb better terms if this were a handicap. Conversely, the son of Fascinating Rock looked good when winning a Killarney maiden on his latest start and, with just three starts under his belt, he is armed with potential. The Joseph O'Brien-trained duo look set to fight out the finish, with Herculaneum expected to claim minor place money.

DEADLY NIGHTSHADE put in plenty of good late work to finish third at Bellewstown. The stiff finish in Galway should suit her well based on that performance. She looks to be going the right way and holds Erato (sixth) and Diyaba (eighth) on that run. Dermot Weld's Azmaniya has to rate a danger on debut. This Deep Impact filly out of a Galileo mare catches the eye on paper and wouldn't need to be a star to be heavily involved here. New Phenomenon is up in trip and gets first-time cheekpieces. She posted a runner-up berth over an extended 1m1f at Gowran Park in June. Spring Wind ran well in third in a qualified riders' maiden at Killarney and won't be anywhere near 125/1 this time.

DEADLY NIGHTSHADE stepped up on debut when a never-nearer third in a maiden at Bellewstown 2 weeks ago and can put her experience to good use up against well-connected newcomer Azmaniya. New Phenomenon is another to consider.

With further progression likely from DEADLY NIGHTSHADE, she can uphold the last time out Bellewstown form with Erato and Diyaba
