13:40 Chester Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/4 +0%) Kindest Nation	2.25 9/4(+0%)	(1) Kindest Nation 9/4, Visored first time, career best when winning 12-runner handicap (15/2) at Haydock (7f, good) 7 days ago. Should go well again under a penalty. Narrow winner in first-time visor at Haydock last week; 6lb penalty demands more here.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/4 +80%) Takes Time	2.75 11/4(+80%)	(8) Takes Time 11/4, Modest maiden. 11/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 4 days ago. Didn't run badly when dropped to 7f on AW on Monday, and this switch to slow turf can suit.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 -71%) Giselles Izzy	12 12/1(-71%)	(2) Giselles Izzy 12/1, Three wins from 11 runs this year. 12/1, career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 34 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Came from off the pace for 6f win last month; this race may not unfold as favourably.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 +11%) Autumn Rose	8 8/1(+11%)	(5) Autumn Rose 8/1, Winner at Haydock (7f, good to firm) in July. 11/1, eighth of 11 in handicap back there (7f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Didn't fire at Haydock last month but may yet build upon her win there in July.
5th	4 5th (4) (17/2 -70%) American Rose	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(4) American Rose 17/2, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 5/2) 22 days ago. Runner-up on turf prior to that and doesn't look handicapped out of things after a 5 lb rise. Up in grade after 0-55 AW win last month; slow turf also suits, but others look stronger.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/2 +8%) Queens Road Revue	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(7) Queens Road Revue 11/2, Winner around 7f at Leicester (good to soft) and Beverley (good to firm) in August. Needs to bounce back from a below-par run at Musselburgh (7f, good) 17 days ago. Dual winner in blinkers this summer; below form last time but remains of interest.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 -100%) Twilight Jazz	14 14/1(-100%)	(6) Twilight Jazz 14/1, Latest win at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in July. 11/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Made all at Beverley in July and is still in good form; ground a worry today, though.
8th	9 8th (9) (20/1 -100%) Tillybob	20 20/1(-100%)	(9) Tillybob 20/1, 11/2, respectable fourth of 9 in classified event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Worth another crack at 7f, but her latest defeat came in a basement-grade classified race.

Giselles Izzy had a subsequent winner back in second when winning over 6f at Ayr last month and she must be respected off a 2lb higher mark. That said, preference is for the locally-trained KINDEST NATION. Hugo Palmer's charge was sporting a first-time visor (retained) when scoring with more in hand than the winning margin suggests over 7f at Haydock last week, and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to anchor her. American Rose is also respected.

If the visor continues to work then KINDEST NATION might be up to providing her in-form local yard with another winner. Fellow last-time-out scorers Giselles Izzy and American Rose may give her most to think about.

A speculative option to consider is TAKES TIME, who is unexposed over this trip and ought to be suited by today's return to soft turf.

14:00 Sandown Maiden (Class 4) 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (10/1 +9%) Kullazain	10 10/1(+9%)	(5) Kullazain 10/1, 150,000 gns purchase who shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when third of 5 in maiden at Ripon (5f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago, showing good speed before fading from 2f out. Likely to improve but encounters different conditions here. Finished about 5.5l behind Reservardo when making his debut at Ripon.
2	10 2nd (10) (4/1 +38%) Veblen Good	4 4/1(+38%)	(10) Veblen Good 4/1, Foaled April 16. Starspangledbanner colt. Brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Impeachd Alexander and half-brother to useful 5f winner Noche Magica. Dam, 5f winner (stayed 6f), half-sister to very smart winning sprinter Dandy Man. Very appealing newcomer for leading yard. Useful pedigree and from a yard chockfull of smart 2yo talent.
3	8 3rd (8) (8/11 +39%) Reservardo	0.727273 8/11(+39%)	(8) Reservardo 8/11, Profitable colt who has displayed plenty of ability in 2 starts to date, again finding only one too good in 5-runner Ripon maiden (5f) last month. Big shout here on those efforts provided he's as effective on this softer ground. Unraced on slow ground but brings strong form claims after his two seconds.
4	6 4th (6) (6/1 -20%) Lazzar	6 6/1(-20%)	(6) Lazzar 6/1, Mehmas colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Mystery Smiles. Friendless in betting but displayed fair form when fifth of 9 in maiden at Newbury (6f, soft) on debut 8 days ago, never on terms but not knocked about. Entitled to do better. Seemed to handle the soft ground okay at Newbury (6f) but just got tired late on.
5th	4 5th (4) (80/1 -300%) Genghis	80 80/1(-300%)	(4) Genghis 80/1, Foaled April 2. 28,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold gelding. Bred to need time and distance and shaped in kind when fourth of 6 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good) on debut 24 days ago. Passed over here. Take out the long odds-on winner and it was a modest race in which he finished fourth.
6th	2 6th (2) (50/1 -52%) Dannick	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Dannick 50/1, Foaled April 19. 40,000 gns yearling, €20,000 2-y-o (private sale), Havana Grey colt. Dam, runner-up at 6f, half-sister to smart 5f-7f winner Silaah. Winning 2-y-o newcomers are not something with which his yard are synonymous and it may be best to look elsewhere on this occasion. Dam placed and half-sister to 5f 2yo Listed winners On The Brink and Eastern Romance.
7th	7 7th (7) (150/1 +0%) Master Zack	150 150/1(+0%)	(7) Master Zack 150/1, Doesn't make much appeal on pedigree and there has been little encouragement to glean from his exploits at Windsor/Newmarket in recent weeks. Hood goes on now. Well down the field at Windsor (good to firm) and Newmarket (good to soft); now hooded.
8th	1 8th (1) (10/1 +17%) Another Abbot	10 10/1(+17%)	(1) Another Abbot 10/1, Harry Angel colt who is bred to be useful but shaped like he'd come on for his debut run fourth of 5 in maiden at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Represents leading yard and he's open to improvement, particularly longer term. 11-1 at Ripon and didn't show much in finishing behind two of today's rivals.
9th	3 9th (3) (80/1 -220%) Early Release	80 80/1(-220%)	(3) Early Release 80/1, Sergei Prokofiev gelding who offered something to work on when fifth on debut in a Doncaster maiden (5f) in May. Found little when eighth of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (5f) a month later though and nurseries could be more his bag on the back of this. Sent off favourite last time at Lingfield (5f, good) but finished well held, as on debut.
10th	9 10th (9) (125/1 -89%) Skip Happens	125 125/1(-89%)	(9) Skip Happens 125/1, Foaled April 6. Due Diligence gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Rogue Enforcer. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 7f Finjaan Newcomer from a yard that's not had a 2yo winner in recent seasons.

GLAMOUR SHOW has displayed plenty of promise on all four of her previous starts and the daughter of Showcasing just gets the vote following her close third over 6f at Newbury last month. Reservardo has hit the crossbar twice and is likely to pose the biggest threat based on all known form. Veblen Good is a half-brother to a Group 3-placed juvenile and any market support for Karl Burke's colt on debut would have to be noted.

RESERVARDO has showed plenty of ability in finding only one too good on each of his 2 starts to date and, in the hope underfoot conditions don't pose any fears, he looks to hold sound claims with the likelihood of more to come. Lazzar rates a likely improver following his promising debut run at Newbury and is feared along with Glamour Show. Market confidence behind Veblen Good would also need to be viewed positively on debut.

Today's slower ground will be a first for RESERVARDO but he's not alone on that score and the form of both his runs read well.

14:00 Sandown Maiden (Class 4) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:10 Chester Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (2/5 +56%) Qetaifan	0.4 2/5(+56%)	(4) Qetaifan 2/5, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in maiden at Sandown (7f, good, 11/4) 14 days ago, having run of race. Definite claims. Began career with two promising runs last month (6f/7f); major player in this easier race.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/3 +72%) Herb Fennel	3.333333 10/3(+72%)	(8) Herb Fennel 10/3, Promising individual. Fifth of 6 in novice at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 25/1) on debut 27 days ago. Open to improvement, albeit may need further in time. Not disgraced when fifth of sixth in quite valuable 6f Ripon novice on recent debut.
3	5 3rd (5) (18/1 -13%) Calibos	18 18/1(-13%)	(5) Calibos 18/1, Once-raced maiden. 14/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good to firm) on debut 18 days ago. Made low-key debut over 6f at Ripon last month.
4	6 4th (6) (14/1 -17%) Mekhled	14 14/1(-17%)	(6) Mekhled 14/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f, 20/1) on debut 15 days ago. Needs to do more. Displayed only minor promise when never-dangerous fifth at Chelmsford a fortnight ago.
5th	10 5th (10) (66/1 -32%) Ma Fille	66 66/1(-32%)	(10) Ma Fille 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 50/1) on debut 8 days ago. Always behind when 50-1 for 6f Wolverhampton maiden on recent debut.
6th	9 6th (9) (28/1 -40%) Addendum	28 28/1(-40%)	(9) Addendum 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in maiden (150/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 31 days ago, not knocked about. Caught the eye making some late headway on second start; further improvement needed here.

QETAIFAN showed up well for a long way before fading into fifth late on in a warm Sandown maiden over 7f last month and, dropping back to 6f, he gets the vote to land the spoils for a stable which is operating at a 24 percent strike-rate at this venue this year. Sands Of Marra was readily outclassed in the Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood, but he had shown promise prior to that and must enter calculations, along with Mekhled.

SANDS OF MARRA confirmed the positive impression made on debut when opening his account at Windsor next time and he's easily excused his latest effort in the Molecomb at Goodwood. He gets the marginal vote over Qetaifan, with Herb Fennel also considered.

Sands Of Marra may find it tough to concede his penalty to QETAIFAN, who has displayed considerable promise in two good maidens.

14:35 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (10/3 -33%) Four Adaay	3.333333 10/3(-33%)	(6) Four Adaay 10/3, On a long losing run but comes here on the back of a very good second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. Big player with that form working out well. Hold-up performer; won six times and only narrowly missed out over C&D two weeks ago.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 +27%) Danger Alert	8 8/1(+27%)	(1) Danger Alert 8/1, It's now 12 runs since last win in 2023. and he came in only fifth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Windsor (6f, soft) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time now. 0-11 for current yard and cheekpieces are tried after some uninspiring runs.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 -170%) Tiger Tulip	9 9/1(-170%)	(5) Tiger Tulip 9/1, Off 4 months before a very good second of 5 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Must enter calculations off the same mark. 5f might be the way to go as she only folded late on at Windsor after making the running.
4	3 4th (3) (3/1 +10%) Nogo's Dream	3 3/1(+10%)	(3) Nogo's Dream 3/1, Frustrating individual tried in eyeshields when a creditable second of 6 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 12 days ago, travelling through the race by far the best but found wanting in the heat of battle. Risky. Continues to run well without winning and he's tested the patience.
5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 -125%) Spirit Of Breeze	18 18/1(-125%)	(7) Spirit Of Breeze 18/1, Got off the mark in 6f handicap at Leicester last summer. Looked rusty after 13 months off when tenth over C&D two weeks ago. Can take a step forward with tongue strap back on. Badly drawn and had been off for 401 days when behind Four Adaay here two weeks ago.
6th	4 6th (4) (17/2 -42%) Capo Vaticano	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(4) Capo Vaticano 17/2, Got off the mark at Chelmsford City in April and she posted a respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Possibilities. Beaten 4l and 3l in her two handicaps (5f, good) and slow starts didn't help.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 +10%) Harry Brown	9 9/1(+10%)	(2) Harry Brown 9/1, Has struggled for consistency this season and beat just one on his first run since leaving David Simcock for 32,000 gns in 5f Ascot handicap 48 days ago. Others are preferred. Three-time winner (5f-6f) on a dangerous mark and seems to handle most ground.

TIGER TULIP bounced back to form when a head second over 6f at Windsor 11 days ago and Heather Main's filly is hard to oppose given that she is 2lb well-in here. Four Adaay was also narrowly denied on her most recent outing, over C&D, and should not be underestimated, while the consistent Nogo's Dream is the pick of the remainder.

FOUR ADAAY signalled she's ready to strike again when runner-up over C&D last time and gets a confident vote with that form reading well. Tiger Tulip rates the main threat on the back of her good Windsor second, with Capo Vaticano and Spirit of Breeze appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

If she can handle the ground then TIGER TULIP could take some reeling in as there's a good chance of her getting a softish lead.

14:45 Chester Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/4 +9%) Bob Mali	1.25 5/4(+9%)	(1) Bob Mali 5/4, Promising debut when landing the odds in 7-runner maiden at Ayr (6f, good) 34 days ago. Has more to offer so holds leading claims. Defied inexperience to justify favouritism on debut; this is harder but he's unexposed.
2	8 2nd (8) (16/1 -220%) Dark Rosa	16 16/1(-220%)	(8) Dark Rosa 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 7 in maiden at Lingfield (6f, AW, 3/1) 8 days ago. Should improve. In the picture. Similar form in two 6f maidens in recent weeks; can do better but she needs to.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/4 +31%) Top Bins	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(3) Top Bins 11/4, 54,000F, 60,000Y. Half-brother to 1m winner Perisher and 6f (including at 2 yrs) winner Gnat Alley. Dam once-raced half-sister to very smart winner up to 9f Glen Shiel. Not ruled out. 60,000gns half-brother to two winners; yard's 2yos at this track always worth a 2nd look.
4	2 4th (2) (4/1 +20%) Dothan	4 4/1(+20%)	(2) Dothan 4/1, Foaled February 25. 32,000 gns foal, 52,000 gns yearling, Territories colt. Dam maiden sprinter, closely related to smart sprinter Dutch Masterpiece. Considered newcomer. 52,000gns yearling; dam a maiden from a fast family; betting to guide.
5th	4 5th (4) (66/1 -65%) Andalprofit	66 66/1(-65%)	(4) Andalprofit 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, tenth of 13 in novice at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 44 days ago. Modest form in three runs on good or faster; his brother handles soft well; can do better.
6th	6 6th (6) (22/1 -38%) King Of Lir	22 22/1(-38%)	(6) King Of Lir 22/1, Twice-raced maiden, good third of 10 in novice (20/1) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Possibilities. Second run was better than his debut but he has different ground to contend with this time.
7th	7 7th (7) (10/1 -43%) Sir Geoff Morgan	10 10/1(-43%)	(7) Sir Geoff Morgan 10/1, Fair maiden. Ninth of 15 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 9/2), slowly away. Off 116 days. Cheekpieces on 1st time and not discounted if back on song. 3 runs in May, showing ability on each occasion; back from a break in headgear; ground ?.
8th	5 8th (5) (40/1 -21%) Invincible Love	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Invincible Love 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 40/1) 18 days ago. Needs to build on it. No better than midfield in two 6f runs this summer; nurseries over further more suitable.

There is lots to like about the Hugo Palmer-trained Top Bins on paper and any support in the market for the son of Soldier's Call should be heeded. That said, BOB MALI gets the vote to hit all the right notes here. Ollie Sangster's charge justified strong market support on his debut when running out a game winner over 6f at Ayr last month and, with that experience under his belt, he shades preference. Sir Geoff Morgan is respected now sporting cheekpieces for the first time.

BOB MALI looked a good prospect when getting off to a winning start at Ayr and can successfully concede weight all round here. George Boughey's Dark Rosa could emerge as the main danger to Ollie Sangster's colt ahead of newcomers Dothan and Top Bins.

There may be more to come from Bob Mali but TOP BINS looks a likely newcomer on paper and he could be worth chancing.

14:45 Chester Stakes (Class 5) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:10 Sandown Maiden (Class 4) 8f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (9/2 +40%) Waardah	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(4) Waardah 9/2, Foaled March 23. Postponed filly. Dam ran once, closely related to useful winner up to 1m Red Mist out of useful 7f/1m winner Red Dune. Noteworthy newcomer. Second foal; dam once-raced (RPR 55) close relative of useful 7f/1m winner Red Mist.
2	2 2nd (2) (2/5 +40%) Glistening	0.4 2/5(+40%)	(2) Glistening 2/5, romising Frankel filly who built on debut when second of 7 in maiden (8/15) at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 43 days ago. Open to further progress, especially over this longer trip, so can put her experience to good use. Frankel filly whose latest effort now looks particularly strong form; in the Fillies' Mile.
3	3 3rd (3) (15/2 -67%) Requisite	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(3) Requisite 15/2, Foaled March 4. 400,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett filly. Dam, French 1m winner, closely related to useful 10.5f-1½m winner Galipad out of useful winner around 9f Never Green. Another debutante with strong claims on paper. 400,000gns yearling; dam French 1m winner, sister to 7f 2yo/2m hurdle winner Mojo Ego.
4	1 4th (1) (14/1 -211%) Gigi Bliss	14 14/1(-211%)	(1) Gigi Bliss 14/1, Foaled April 8. Galileo filly. Sister to 1½m winner Sam Hawkens and half-sister to useful 6f winner Minnetonka. Certainly of interest. Half-sister to 6f 2yo/AW winner Minnetonka (95); she's in the Fillies' Mile.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

GLISTENING confirmed the promise she displayed on debut when a solid second over 7f at Newbury. That form was boosted when the winner scored impressively under a penalty at Leicester earlier this week and the daughter of Frankel is clearly the one to beat. Requisite cost 400,000gns as a yearling and is arguably the pick of the newcomers, although Gigi Bliss and Waardah cannot be discounted.

GLISTENING has made a positive start and should improve further over this distance, so she's fancied to put her experience to good use. All three of the newcomers in opposition are of interest but Requisite may pose the main threat.

It did come on fast ground but GLISTENING's latest run at Newbury now looks hot form and none of her rivals have experience.

15:15 Salisbury Stakes (Class 4) 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +11%) Square D'alboni	4 4/1(+11%)	(2) Square D'alboni 4/1, €40,000 Zarak gelding. Had excuses on debut (strong in betting) and duly left that form well behind when scoring unchallenged in 10-runner maiden at Epsom (7f, good) 18 days ago, running on. Represents leading yard and respected with prospect of more to come. Excuses on debut but made all at Epsom next time; extra furlong should suit.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/1 -75%) Archie's Angel	7 7/1(-75%)	(1) Archie's Angel 7/1, Promising sort. 10/1, won 6-runner novice at Haydock (7f, good) on debut 55 days ago, well on top at the line. Open to progress stepping up to 1m. Nice turn of foot when winning on debut at Haydock; respected under penalty.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 -110%) Celeborn	7 7/1(-110%)	(3) Celeborn 7/1, Overcame inexperience to justify short-priced favouritism on 7f Leicester debut in June. Nicely on top at the finish and could have plenty more to come after 3 months off/having been gelded. Green when making a successful debut at Leicester; has been gelded since; respected.
4	12 4th (12) (5/1 -50%) Way Of Stars	5 5/1(-50%)	(12) Way Of Stars 5/1, Sea The Moon colt who was strong in the betting and was denied only late on by another promising debutant in 7-runner Goodwood maiden (1m) 19 days ago. Looks sure to progress and he's well worth considering. Beaten a neck on Goodwood debut; wouldn't need to improve much to play a major roll.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/4 +65%) Half Moon Bay	2.25 9/4(+65%)	(7) Half Moon Bay 9/4, Already gelded and, despite proving uneasy in the market, he showed some ability when fifth of 7 in novice (20/1) at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 21 days ago. Should improve. Gave the impression he would come on from his Newmarket debut; shortlisted.
6th	11 6th (11) (200/1 -100%) Orchard	200 200/1(-100%)	(11) Orchard 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 28/1, last of 13 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good to firm) on debut 27 days ago. Will need to leave that effort well behind if he's to make an impact here. Ran green when last of 13 on last month's Newbury debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (50/1 -150%) Opening Bat	50 50/1(-150%)	(8) Opening Bat 50/1, Foaled February 15. 80,000 gns yearling, Bated Breath colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Gale Force Ten and useful 9f-1½m winner Eynhallow and useful winner up to 1¼m Rousay. Appeals on paper so one to note in the betting for clues. Nicely bred, but stable's 2yo newcomers are usually better for a run.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 -20%) Crackeagle	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Crackeagle 12/1, Foaled March 3. Cracksman gelding. Dam maiden (stayed 1½m), sister to useful winner up to 1½m Galactic Prince out of useful 1¼m-11.6f winner Opera Gal. Betting should unearth some clues on debut. Yard also responsible for Square D'alboni. Already gelded but stable's record with 2yo newcomers makes him well worth a market check.
9th	4 9th (4) (35/1 -119%) Arth's Gold	35 35/1(-119%)	(4) Arth's Gold 35/1, 100,000 gns Havana Gold colt. 33/1, shaped as if better for the run when seventh of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 9 days ago. Entitled to improve but this looks a warm enough race. Midfield on his Kempton debut nine days ago; improvement required.
10th	10 10th (10) (28/1 -40%) Night Step	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) Night Step 28/1, Foaled April 29. 57,000 gns foal, £60,000 2-y-o, Showcasing colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 11f-1½m winner Cribbs Causeway and 1m winner Voyager Blue, both useful. Yard no stranger to success with their juveniles. Tongue strap applied for debut. Stable has its share of 2yo winners first time out so worth a market check; tongue-tie on.
11th	5 11th (5) (33/1 -32%) Battle Stride	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Battle Stride 33/1, Foaled March 20. $50,000 foal, €100,000 2-y-o, War of Will colt. Dam ran twice in USA. Interesting to see what the market has to say. Stable has the occasion winning 2yo newcomer, but only of interest if attracting support.

Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 7f Desert Gulf and 1m winner Red Hat Eagle. Stable 1-18 with 2yo newcomers this year; other make greater appeal.

There was a good word for CELEBORN prior to his Leicester introduction and he duly obliged. He was withdrawn at the start at Doncaster on his next intended appearance and has since been gelded in an attempt to hopefully harness his true potential. Archie's Angel made a successful debut of his own at Haydock, while Square D'alboni took a big step forward to break through at Epsom and Way Of Stars was only just denied at Goodwood.

Several interesting types in opposition with WAY OF STARS narrowly selected to come out on top. Having been strong in the betting, he showed plenty to work on and was beaten only by a fellow promising newcomer who was delivered later at Goodwood 19 days ago, and he looks sure to build on that effort. Square D'alboni, Celeborn and Archie's Angel all tasted success on their latest outings respectively and head up the dangers.

Preference is for CELEBORN who was all over the place on his Leicester debut in June, but still proved good enough to win.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (18/1 -13%) Hallowed Time	18 18/1(-13%)	(8) Hallowed Time 18/1, Long-standing maiden who wasn't seen to best effect when tenth of 12 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to soft) 3 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces back on. Not dismissed. Hit and miss this year; well short of his best at Leicester on Tues; risky despite stall 1.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +60%) Run This Way	4 4/1(+60%)	(4) Run This Way 4/1, Completed a hat-trick in determined fashion at Ripon in June and returned to a similar level when fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 18 days ago. Shortlist material. Conditions to suit and she's back to her last winning mark; should make a bold bid.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -33%) Showhound	12 12/1(-33%)	(5) Showhound 12/1, Ayr maiden winner in 2023 but has made little impact in handicaps this season. Cheekpieces on for the first time. Promising 2yo but he's struggled in handicaps this year; headgear now; ground a query.
4	1 4th (1) (15/2 -88%) B Associates	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(1) B Associates 15/2, Didn't need to improve to make it 2 wins from 3 starts for current yard in 6-runner claimer at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 4 days ago. Respected under a penalty back in handicap company. 2-3 for this yard but not obviously well in under a penalty; soft ground a query too.
5th	7 5th (7) (5/2 +44%) Thornaby Pearl	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(7) Thornaby Pearl 5/2, Showed plenty of speed for a second successive start when fourth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Should remain competitive. On a good mark and the return to slow ground in his favour; one to take seriously.
6th	12 6th (12) (22/1 -10%) White Umbrella	22 22/1(-10%)	(12) White Umbrella 22/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in April and not disgraced when sixth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, soft) 9 days ago. Conditions shouldn't be an issue but stall 11 might be.
7th	3 7th (3) (13/2 -8%) Oso Rapido	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(3) Oso Rapido 13/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023 but ran respectably when fifth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm, 11/1) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly. One near miss at Pontefract this season but generally disappointing; headgear returns.
8th	9 8th (9) (28/1 -75%) First Company	28 28/1(-75%)	(9) First Company 28/1, Ran below form after 5 months off when fifth of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm, 16/1) 29 days ago. Needs to leave that behind. Did well on AW over the winter but he's drawn wide and could do with the ground drying out.
9th	11 9th (11) (14/1 -100%) Bibendum	14 14/1(-100%)	(11) Bibendum 14/1, Stepped up on recent stable debut when fifth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at this course (5.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago, nearest finish. 5f around here was too sharp last time; not fully exposed but widest stall to overcome.
10th	2 10th (2) (20/1 +20%) Maharajas Express	20 20/1(+20%)	(2) Maharajas Express 20/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 18/1) 6 days ago, slowly away. Needs to settle better. Yet to shine in two runs for current stable; may need more weight off his back.
11th	6 11th (6) (7/1 +7%) Glendown	7 7/1(+7%)	(6) Glendown 7/1, C&D winner who ran below form back down in trip at Beverley (5f, good) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Not well drawn in either run since his Pontefract win; fared better in that regard today.

Turned out again quickly after a taking success in a claimer at Wolverhampton on Monday, B ASSOCIATES should be able to handle a 5lb penalty in this company. Thornaby Pearl has been running well at Ripon of late without getting his head in front and he could be set for another bold bid. Others to note include Bibendum, First Company and Oso Rapido.

An open-looking sprint handicap with the tentative vote going to RUN THIS WAY, who is having a fine season and got back on track with a good effort at Southwell 18 days ago. Oso Rapido ran well at Thirsk on his most recent outing despite not looking particularly well suited by the return to 7f, so he's a player back down in trip, with Hallowed Time and B Associates others to consider.

Run This Way and Glendown can feature but THORNABY PEARL (nap) may well be the answer now back on a slower surface.

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (9/2 +25%) Solar Drive	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(8) Solar Drive 9/2, Fair Flat winner. Promising sort. 6/1, fourth of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft) on NH debut 22 days ago. Should improve and merits respect. Won twice over 1m4f on Flat at Cork and encouraging 4th when beaten 6l last month.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/4 +13%) Kaptain Bay	1.75 7/4(+13%)	(5) Kaptain Bay 7/4, Fair maiden on the Flat. Promising individual. Tongue strap on for 1st time, third of 13 in juvenile hurdle (15/8) at this course (16.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 32 days ago. Open to improvement and boasts solid claims. Just behind Ceol Draiochta over C&D on hurdle bow having shown Flat promise previously.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/1 +0%) Action Plan	9 9/1(+0%)	(1) Action Plan 9/1, Fairly useful Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Last of 6 in minor event at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 12/1) 21 days ago. Could feature if he takes to hurdling. 1m Flat winner earlier this year; not bred for this sort of test.
4	13 4th (13) (80/1 -220%) Set The Tone	80 80/1(-220%)	(13) Set The Tone 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, eighth of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft) 22 days ago. Well held in two maiden hurdles so far behind several of these and probably best watched.
5th	3 5th (3) (4/1 -33%) Ceol Draiochta	4 4/1(-33%)	(3) Ceol Draiochta 4/1, Twice-raced maiden. Unseated rider in juvenile hurdle (11/4) at Killarney (17f, soft) 22 days ago. Runner-up on debut prior to that and can make his presence felt. Narrowly denied when 14s for debut over C&D and unseated early; worth another chance.
6th	12 6th (12) (9/2 +10%) Turn And Finish	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(12) Turn And Finish 9/2, Fair maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Fourth of 9 in maiden at Tramore (12f, good to soft, 11/1) on debut 27 days ago, not knocked about. Notable hurdling newcomer for top yard. Green when 4th on debut last month; pedigree offers hope for this game.
7th	4 7th (4) (150/1 -200%) Gona Be Alright	150 150/1(-200%)	(4) Gona Be Alright 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in juvenile hurdle (66/1) at this course (16.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 32 days ago. Tailed off when 66s for debut over C&D behind some of these; probably best watched for now.
8th	9 8th (9) (25/1 +0%) Solar Falcon	25 25/1(+0%)	(9) Solar Falcon 25/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft, 80/1) 22 days ago. Shown little on Flat and low-key start to hurdle career; of interest when handicapping.
9th	2 9th (2) (25/1 -79%) Baron Blake	25 25/1(-79%)	(2) Baron Blake 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 13 in juvenile hurdle (18/1) at this course (16.8f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Green 5th on debut and minor progress with a C&D 4th last month, 15l behind two of these.
10th	11 10th (11) (18/1 -100%) T Or Coffey	18 18/1(-100%)	(11) T Or Coffey 18/1, Showed something when third at Killarney on hurdling debut before an underwhelming display on the Flat at Navan. Not one to write off back in this sphere. Modest Flat performer but showed his future may be in this sphere when 3rd on hurdle bow.
11th	10 11th (10) (80/1 -142%) Syosset	80 80/1(-142%)	(10) Syosset 80/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, seventh of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good) on NH debut 14 days ago. Tailed off when 16s for debut; should do better this time with experience under his belt.
12th	6 12th (6) (33/1 +0%) Rhythm And Moves	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Rhythm And Moves 33/1, Once-raced maiden. First run since leaving G. M. Lyons when fourth of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good, 33/1) on NH debut 14 days ago. Well held on Flat debut; signs of ability on hurdle bow and entitled to come on for that.
13th	7 13th (7) (100/1 -100%) Saxon Kingdom	100 100/1(-100%)	(7) Saxon Kingdom 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Clonmel (9.6f, good, 50/1) 8 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Blinkers on for 1st time in this code. Poor on last hurdle outing. Nine-race maiden on the Flat and was tailed off on his only hurdle start.

KAPTAIN BAY could build upon an opening third over flights at Ballinrobe in August. He had snippets of form on the Flat and went off favourite for that jumping assignment, but gave best on the run-in after a slight mistake at the last. Ceol Draiochta finished a place in front of Kaptain Bay in that aforementioned race, but unseated in the early stages when next seen in Killarney. Solar Drive has won twice on the Flat, including at Cork in July, and made a satisfactory start to his jumping career when fourth in Kilbeggan. Joseph O'Brien's Turn And Finish kept on for fourth behind an easy winner on the level at Tramore and is swiftly sent jumping.

TURN AND FINISH showed plenty when fourth in a maiden at Tramore on his only Flat outing and he's bred to take to this sphere, so he's preferred to Kaptain Bay, who made a promising hurdling debut here a month ago. Ceol Draioch is another one to consider.

CEOL DRAIOCHTA is taken to confirm course and distance form with Kaptain Bay having only gone down by half a length here on debut

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (13/8 +28%) Corriamo	1.625 13/8(+28%)	(4) Corriamo 13/8, Improving son of Mohaather who opened his account on nursery debut at Leicester (7f) and further progress when following up over 7f here 13 days ago, overcoming a pace bias. Step up to 1m promises to suit and lots to like in hat-trick bid. Strong late on to win two 7f nurseries and good chance of a hat-trick.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 +6%) Laplander	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(5) Laplander 15/2, Son of Territories who looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind, posting best effort yet on qualifying run without threatening when seventh of 13 in maiden at this course (7f, good to soft) in July. Gelded subsequently and better expected on nursery bow. Has contested races won by good horses; gelded ahead of h'cap debut; possible improver.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/2 -17%) Chelsea Embankment	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(3) Chelsea Embankment 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden who confirmed improvement showed on nursery debut at Yarmouth when runner-up at Kempton (1m) 23 days ago, staying on again final 1f. One to consider back on turf. Continues to run well but lacks a change of gear when it matters.
4	6 4th (6) (8/1 -45%) Jack Andrea	8 8/1(-45%)	(6) Jack Andrea 8/1, Showed ability in trio of 7f maidens and took a step forward from what looked a stiff opening mark when good second of 9 in nursery at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) 14 days ago, running on. Respected with his rider taking off valuable 3 lb. Improved second on nursery debut but that was a Class 6 and this is stronger.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/1 -100%) Bintabuha	10 10/1(-100%)	(1) Bintabuha 10/1, Stoutly bred filly who built on debut form when third in a Newmarket maiden (7f) in July. Proved a bit keen on first crack at 1m and failed to see her race out when fourth of 6 in a Salisbury novice (1m) 4 weeks ago but not one to write off now handicapping. Has been bumping into decent horses; useful claimer booked for this handicap debut.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/2 +10%) New Bombay	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(2) New Bombay 9/2, New Bay colt who landed 8-runner nursery at Chester (7f) early on last month. Creditable efforts from inflated marks in pair of starts since, latterly when fourth of 9 to Corriamo in nursery (3/1) at this course (7f, good) 13 days ago. Steps back up in trip now. Fourth to Corriamo here recently and the latter could be the improver over this far.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

CORRIAMO gave the impression that he was a colt to keep firmly on side when scoring cosily on his nursery debut over 7f at Leicester, and he confirmed that promise when running out a game winner over the same trip here. Upped 4lb for that latest performance, this upwardly-mobile son of impressive first-season sire Mohaather gets the vote to land the hat-trick on his first try at a mile. Bintabuha has been far from disgraced in three qualifying runs and warrants the utmost respect on her handicap bow. Chelsea Embankment completes the shortlist for the in-form Ralph Beckett team.

CORRIAMO progressed on the form showed when successful at Leicester when following up in a stronger affair over 7f here 2 weeks ago, overcoming a pace bias in the process. His strength at the finish suggested this step up to 1m will suit and he makes plenty of appeal in his hat-trick bid. Chelsea Embankment and Jack Andrea may well emerge as the chief threats.

Bintabuha is interesting but CORRIAMO (nap) has managed to win both his nurseries despite still showing signs of inexperience.

1	5 1st (5) (11/2 +54%) Corsican Caper	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(5) Corsican Caper 11/2, 22/1, first run since leaving Kevin Frost when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 22 days ago, slowly away. Rejoined yard after leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy. Others preferred. Three wins on soft this spring; layoff before latest start; more interesting back on turf.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/2 -75%) Judgementofsolomon	3.5 7/2(-75%)	(7) Judgementofsolomon 7/2, Winner at Wolverhampton in April. 5/6, fourth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 18 days ago. Longer trip is bound to suit and he's fancied to get back on the up. Needs to find extra but he shapes like a stayer and could have more to give.
3	9 3rd (9) (13/2 -18%) Trojan Sun	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(9) Trojan Sun 13/2, 7/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Musselburgh (18.1f, good) 16 days ago, all out. Should give another good account for all that this is a better race. Not proven on softer than good; breakthrough win over 2m2f at Musselburgh 16 days ago.
4	12 4th (12) (6/1 +57%) Bamboo Bay	6 6/1(+57%)	(12) Bamboo Bay 6/1, Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Ripon (16f, good to firm, 17/2) 17 days ago. Not dismissed. Placed over 2m last two starts; below form on softer than good; 4lb out of the handicap.

Not completely dismissed. Won three of his seven races this term, all 2m on AW; much more to prove on turf.
9th	8 9th (8) (33/1 -136%) Tazaman	33 33/1(-136%)	(8) Tazaman 33/1, 8/1, bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 79 days ago, left with lot to do. Will need everything to drop right. Twice fifth on the Kempton AW (2m) since returning from a 636-day absence.

Can get involved if he's tuned up for this return. Appeared to have potential at 2m+ on AW when last seen last September.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

A tentative vote goes to JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON, who has done well since being upped in trip this year and, despite his most recent effort at Southwell being a tad disappointing, he looks capable of bouncing back over further. This stamina test is likely to suit recent Musselburgh scorer Trojan Sun, who must prove himself on soft ground, while Berkshire Sundance returns after almost a year off the track for his in-form connections.

JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON stands out as the one who could produce a dominant display. He's less exposed than the remainder and promises to be well suited by the step up in trip, particuarly with the emphasis on stamina on soft ground. Berkshire Sundance can get involved if tuned up and Dereham should be thereabouts.

Dereham finished strongly last time. Soft ground would give him more to prove, though, so a chance is taken on JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON.

1	8 1st (8) (11/4 -22%) Tabiti	2.75 11/4(-22%)	(8) Tabiti 11/4, Kingman filly created a good impression when going in at the first time of asking in 9-runner maiden at Newmarket (7f, good), making all. Very much one to consider with more to come as long as she copes with the drop in distance. Well backed when making a successful debut at Newmarket; should cope with the shorter trip.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/1 +8%) Miss Fascinator	11 11/1(+8%)	(6) Miss Fascinator 11/1, Resumed her progress when scoring for the second time in 7f nursery at Newmarket last month, forging clear last 1f. Possibly lacks the scope of a few of these but she certainly warrants a crack at this sort of level. Won an Ascot novice and a Newmarket nursery, but has twice finished behind Magic Mild.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/1 +0%) Magic Mild	7 7/1(+0%)	(5) Magic Mild 7/1, Given a bit of time after finishing down the field in a York listed race in May and returned to win a 6f maiden and nursery on Newmarket's July Course, making all on both occasions. That form just about the best on offer and is clearly a threat if getting into a rhythm. Has won her last two starts at Newmarket and the form of both has worked out well.
4	1 4th (1) (16/1 -14%) Betty Clover	16 16/1(-14%)	(1) Betty Clover 16/1, Useful filly who doubled her tally in 15-runner listed race at York in May. Better form when second in Group 3 company at Ascot on first crack at 6f but must bounce back from a lesser effort in the Lowther. Has gone close at Group 3 level; has a similar profile to last year's winner.
5th	2 5th (2) (4/1 +27%) Greydreambeliever	4 4/1(+27%)	(2) Greydreambeliever 4/1, €40,000 Dark Angel filly. Good type physically and created a really favourable impression when winning on debut at York (6f) 7 weeks ago. That form is solid enough and there is more to come. Made a winning debut at York despite market weakness; holds a Group 1 entry; respected.
6th	7 6th (7) (80/1 -21%) Santa Savana	80 80/1(-21%)	(7) Santa Savana 80/1, Made a winning start to her career over 6f at Leicester in May but that form is only ordinary and she's found the going tougher in listed company both starts since. Hood removed now. Twice out of the frame in Listed races since making a successful debut; plenty to find.
7th	3 7th (3) (20/1 -67%) Handcuffed	20 20/1(-67%)	(3) Handcuffed 20/1, Readily justified market confidence on her Newbury debut in July and stepped up on that bare form when 3 lengths seventh of 8 to Simmering in Princess Margaret at Ascot 23 days later. Improved again when fourth in a big-field nursery at York and that puts her in the mix. Made a winning debut and ran well last time, but has ground to make up on Betty Clover.
8th	4 8th (4) (15/8 +38%) Jewelry	1.875 15/8(+38%)	(4) Jewelry 15/8, 280,000 gns Wootton Bassett filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner A New Dawn and smart 1¼m/10.7f winner Sir Lamorak. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to a couple of smart sorts. Ignored in the betting but won a 6f Newbury novice with a bit up her sleeve on debut last month. Sure to improve. Defied market weakness when winning on Newbury debut; one for the shortlist.

Betty Clover's Listed triumph and narrow defeat at the hands of Simmering in the Princess Margaret help her set a fine standard, but she comes up against some exciting once-raced winners. TABITI never looked like letting favourite-backers down on debut, showing plenty of pace over 7f, and she is just preferred to Jewelry, who was almost as impressive at Newbury. There was no fluke about Greydreambeliever's York victory, while Magic Mild deserves a crack at this sort of prize.

GREYDREAMBELIEVER looked a good prospect when scoring on debut at York and could be the way to go over fellow unbeaten fillies Tabiti and Jewelry.

Preference is for TABITI who was impressive when winning at Newmarket last month. She can defy the drop in trip.

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +23%) Ah Fuhgeddaboudit	5 5/1(+23%)	(6) Ah Fuhgeddaboudit 5/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs. Good second of 13 in novice hurdle (15/2) at this course (22.4f, soft) 18 days ago, closing all way to line. Best run yet when 2nd in maiden hurdle here last month but may find this too sharp.
2	10 2nd (10) (22/1 -214%) Mexican Moonshine	22 22/1(-214%)	(10) Mexican Moonshine 22/1, Mount Nelson mare. Sister to fair hurdler Flidais. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for top stable. Mount Nelson mare; this is probably a tough ask and she may want further.
3	14 3rd (14) (15/2 +46%) Spick And Span	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(14) Spick And Span 15/2, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 15 hurdle runs. Bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 15/2) 34 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. 0-15 and below form in a Kilbeggan h'cap last month; tongue-tie needs to spark a revival.
4	8 4th (8) (13/8 +51%) Joueuse Royale	1.625 13/8(+51%)	(8) Joueuse Royale 13/8, Promising individual. 5/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, third of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.6f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 26 days ago. Should have more to offer. Went close in points and likeable form under rules but probably needs big step up in trip.
5th	12 5th (12) (20/1 -25%) Pampar Lady	20 20/1(-25%)	(12) Pampar Lady 20/1, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 9 hurdle runs. Sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good, 10/1) 16 days ago. 0-13; back to best with C&D 3rd last month but not as good since; exposed.

Very good fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Tramore (16.4f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Place claims. 0-4 over timber and beaten 9l on handicap debut last month; much more required.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/2 -200%) Caman Eileen	4.5 9/2(-200%)	(2) Caman Eileen 9/2, Bumper winner. Promising second on hurdle in July. Bit disappointing when turned over at short odds at Roscommon last month but can probably be given another chance. Bumper winner and Roscommon 2nd on return; stopped quickly latest but can bounce back.
8th	9 8th (9) (66/1 -100%) Knocknagoran Lady	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Knocknagoran Lady 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, soft, 22/1) 36 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Hasn't shown enough in two maiden hurdles so far, despite showing some ability.
9th	7 9th (7) (8/1 +27%) Arctic Piper	8 8/1(+27%)	(7) Arctic Piper 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1 and hooded for 1st time, respectable fifth of 19 in bumper at Galway (16f, soft) 41 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Consistent in bumpers and settled better at Galway latest but tough ask on hurdle bow.

11th	4 11th (4) (33/1 0%) Lizzy's Filly	33 33/1(0%)	(4) Lizzy's Filly 33/1, Fair Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. 40/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, good) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Won 1m1f Flat maiden here last year but not bred for this.
12th	15 12th (15) (200/1 -300%) Youghalvalley	200 200/1(-300%)	(15) Youghalvalley 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at this course (22.4f, soft) on NH debut 18 days ago. Modest form in points and tailed off on rules bow.
13th	1 13th (1) (18/1 +18%) Beauforts Storm	18 18/1(+18%)	(1) Beauforts Storm 18/1, Fair winner at 17f in bumpers. Creditable eighth of 13 in handicap (11/4) at Clonmel (16.6f, good) 8 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Respectable on last bumper run. Bumper winner; modest efforts on Flat this summer and may need career best in this sphere.

Fair winner at 16f in bumpers. 50/1, 37¾ lengths eighth of 9 to Aurora Vega in listed bumper at Gowran (16f, heavy). Off 11 months. Makes hurdles debut. Won bumper last year before finding Listed level tough; more required after 350 days off.
15th	13 15th (13) (200/1 -100%) Shuil Senna	200 200/1(-100%)	(13) Shuil Senna 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 11/1, sixth of 9 in bumper at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) on NH debut. Off over 3 years. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving Michael Winters. Tailed off when 11-1 for her debut in 2021 and hasn't been seen since; best watched.

JOUEUSE ROYALE is a significant player after her third place on hurdle debut at Tramore. The form of last month's race has been emphatically endorsed with the winner, runner-up and the fourth home all obliging since then. The selection was beaten less than two lengths into third and there was plenty of promise in that effort. Caman Eileen was odds-on favourite for a Roscommon maiden hurdle, but was beaten a fair way into fourth. She is better than that, but needs to bounce back. The 102-rated Ah Fuhgeddaboudit and Gordon Elliott's newcomer Mexican Moonshine, who is a sister to a double winner over flights, are others with claims.

Another chance is given to the Willie Mullins-trained CAMAN EILEEN, who will be tough to beat if recapturing the form she showed when second on her Roscommon hurdle debut. Joueuse Royale made a promising start to her hurdle career when third at Tramore last month and is second choice ahead of Pachmena.

This can go the way of CAMAN EILEEN (nap) who wasn't right at Roscommon last month but there was plenty to like about her previous run

1	4 1st (4) (7/1 +0%) Darkness	7 7/1(+0%)	(4) Darkness 7/1, Back to his best when landing a 10-runner Newmarket (7f) in June. Run with credit on his next 3 starts and is the type to bounce back from a rare below-par run last time. His stable won the race last year. Has just looked a shade high in the weights since winning for a fifth time in June.
2	10 2nd (10) (6/1 +0%) Hat Toss	6 6/1(+0%)	(10) Hat Toss 6/1, Both wins over this track (including this trip). Only just held on over 1m here 5 weeks ago but it was a competitive race and he shouldn't be handicapped out of things after a 4 lb rise. Second course win here last time; 4lb higher in a race likely to take more winning.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -33%) Star Of Orion	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Star Of Orion 4/1, Back to his best for his new yard when placed at Newmarket (1m) and over C&D in recent weeks. The first-time cheekpieces he wore here a fortnight ago are retained. Likely to be in the mix again. Good runs the last twice but, now 3-31, he's looking a hard horse to catch right.
4	6 4th (6) (7/1 -56%) Leadman	7 7/1(-56%)	(6) Leadman 7/1, Fairy useful form but still a maiden and beaten at odds on for the fourth start in succession when fourth of 9 in 7f Kempton novice 16 days ago. Does head into handicaps with a less-exposed profile than the majority of these, though. Beaten at odds-on in his last four races; goes handicapping off a high enough mark.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 +10%) Koy Koy	9 9/1(+10%)	(3) Koy Koy 9/1, Shaped up quite well on a couple of occasions at the start of the summer but needs to shrug off poor runs on her last 2 outings. Won't mind returning to a slower surface but he's very hit and miss; well treated though.
6th	2 6th (2) (5/1 +50%) Back See Daa	5 5/1(+50%)	(2) Back See Daa 5/1, Lope De Vega filly who has only a novice win to her name but produced a useful effort when touched off in a 7f Haydock handicap last month. Well held in a big field at the York Ebor meeting since but this is a touch easier. Likes to lead and had no freedom at York last time; up and down but very capable.
7th	5 7th (5) (11/2 +61%) Lowton	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(5) Lowton 11/2, Developed into a useful performer over 7f last year. Made a respectable return from 11 months off in a Southwell Racing League handicap 15 days ago and is entitled to strip fitter now. Worth chancing. Back-to-back wins in minor races last term but handicaps are providing a tougher challenge.
8th	7 8th (7) (12/1 -50%) Billy Mill	12 12/1(-50%)	(7) Billy Mill 12/1, Enjoyed a productive AW campaign and showed he's equally as good on turf when landing a 7f Ascot handicap in July. Found out in a Class 2 at Goodwood since but this is slightly easier. Back at a better level than last time and remains on a competitive mark.
9th	9 9th (9) (25/1 -14%) Sandy Paradise	25 25/1(-14%)	(9) Sandy Paradise 25/1, Latest win at Chelmsford (7f) in April. Good third of 12 at Brighton (7f, good to firm) in June but disappointed over 1m there since. Bounce back needed now quickly returned to 7f. Five-time AW winner but made it 0-12 on turf when finishing last at Brighton.

STAR OF ORION lost little in defeat when finishing a close-up third here last month and, off an unchanged mark with forecast underfoot conditions to suit, he gets the nod to go two places better. Leadman has shown enough in his qualifying runs to suggest that he can be competitive in a race of this nature on his handicap debut. Darkness has gone well in some big handicaps and his mark is starting to fall so his turn in the winner's enclosure may be imminent again.

Low mileage 4-y-o LOWTON looks nicely treated on the form he showed at York last autumn so it might be worth siding with him to leave a recent comeback run at Southwell well behind. Star of Orion was a solid third over C&D off the same mark on Solario day and should give another good account. Hat Toss's 2-2 Sandown record also earns him a place on the shortlist.

A chance is taken on KOY KOY, who won't have conditions as fast as the last twice and he can pounce late off a strong gallop.

Much respected for her new handler. Ran well on her final start for Andrew Balding; watch market on stable debut.

Richard Hannon has won two of the last three renewals and can enjoy further success courtesy of KAIYA, who showed more signs of life at Newbury and steps back up to a potentially more suitable distance for her nursery bow. Wathbah is best judged on her first three efforts rather than her struggle in a good Newmarket nursery. Gold Medallist has experience on his side and cheekpieces go on, with headgear also applied to Tiempo Alegre for the first time.

UP THE PACE caught the eye when a tenderly-handled Kempton fifth last time out so is fancied to take a sizeable step forward now going handicapping and get off the mark. Both Tiempo Alegre and Kaiya also appeal as likely improvers on their respective nursery debuts and can chase home the selection in that order.

The choice is KAIYA who revealed her first signs of ability at Newbury last time and could step up again on nursery debut.

Trainer Andrew Balding won this contest last year and looks to have another ideal candidate in the shape of WHO'S GLEN, who was runner-up in a deep race at Southwell last time out. The son of Gleneagles looked in need of further on that occasion and he gets that opportunity now, with taking Ripon scorer Oosterpark looking best placed to chase him home. Consistent performer The Crafty Mole is another to bear in mind.

THE CRAFTY MOLE has thrived this season, recording a fifth win of the campaign when promoted to first at Thirsk (beaten by a head but suffered interference in the final 1f) on his latest outing, so he looks to hold leading claims. Who's Glen has also been going the right way this year and could be the main danger, ahead of Oosterpark.

Interesting turf debutant WHO'S GLEN is taken to defy top weight and open his account. Oosterpark is second choice.

LINDEN ARDEN relished a staying trip when easily winning a beginners' chase here just under three weeks ago. He reverts back to flights and takes a drop in class, so appeals with his confidence boosted. Littlefoot won his maiden hurdle at this track last month. He won by the minimum margin of a nose when upped in trip with cheekpieces fitted. He races off a mark of 104 with Liam McKenna's claim factored in and is a contender. Tell Me This took the honours by five lengths when last seen over a shorter trip at this venue and is respected. Tullyveery Lad, Coastal World and Kilkee Bay are more than capable of landing a blow.

A case can be made for a few of these but LINDEN ARDEN rates the pick of these weights on the back of his impressive chasing success here so gets the vote. Course-scorer Littlefoot heads the list of dangers with Emily In Paris, Tullyveery Lad and Coastal World all in the mix too.

TELL ME THIS has been given a fair mark for handicap debut after her recent course win and this new trip is likely to suit

3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 +11%) Tronido	4 4/1(+11%)	(4) Tronido 4/1, Much improved in handicaps, scoring comfortably over 7f on AW at Lingfield and Kempton in June. Creditable both starts on turf since, overdoing things a little in front when third over 1m here 2 weeks ago. Should go well again back at 7f. Front-runner for whom dropping back to 7f has to be a good thing.
4	3 4th (3) (9/4 +0%) Faro Di Notte	2.25 9/4(+0%)	(3) Faro Di Notte 9/4, Placed all 3 starts for current yard having left Roger Varian after debut, taking a step forward on her handicap bow when runner-up at Goodwood (8f, good) 13 days ago, despite seeming unsuited by the track. Potential of better still to come. Backed when third on handicap debut over 1m; returns to 7f on a stiff course.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 -200%) Smouldering	10 10/1(-200%)	(2) Smouldering 10/1, Solid start to career in the spring, successful at Kempton (7f) in May and big effort when third on handicap debut at Haydock (7f) in July. Below best on firmer ground than previously when eighth of 9 in handicap at Newbury (7f) later that month and likely type to bounce back. Novice winner who went close on handicap debut; fast ground an excuse latest.

FARO DI NOTTE found only a much more experienced rival too strong on her handicap bow at Goodwood and another prominent showing looks assured. A 1lb nudge up the ratings is unlikely to be the ceiling of her ability and Marcus Tregoning's filly edges the verdict over Come On You Spurs, who shouldn't mind a return to 7f. Tronido rates as best of the remainder.

FARO DI NOTTE leaves the impression she has a bigger effort in her locker so, with fewer miles on the clock than most, she's given the narrow vote dropping back to 7f. Tronido and Smouldering head up the dangers.

Tronido will go off fast. Clive Cox's SMOULDERING was coming along nicely until finding fast ground against her last time.

Sister to multiple US Graded race winner at 1m/9f Carl Spackler and half-sister to 9.5f/1¼m winner Tribal Wisdom. Very interesting newcomer. 450,000gns yearling; sister to a US 1m Grade winner; could be anything.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/4 -92%) Jowddah	1.75 7/4(-92%)	(5) Jowddah 7/4, Promising individual. 100/30, second of 8 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good, 10/3) on debut 21 days ago. Two winners have emerged from that race since. The one to beat. Creditable second on debut at Newmarket and sets a clear form standard here.
3	1 3rd (1) (40/1 -150%) Art Patron	40 40/1(-150%)	(1) Art Patron 40/1, Twice-raced filly. Stepped up on debut when fifth of 7 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 12/1) 50 days ago. More will be needed again. Has a nice pedigree but her first two runs were underwhelming; improvement required.
4	7 4th (7) (11/1 -144%) Take A Breath	11 11/1(-144%)	(7) Take A Breath 11/1, Bated Breath filly. Sister to smart winner up to 1m Simply Breathless, useful 1m winner Breath Away and half-sister to 9f-11f winner Fruit Spirit. One to note on debut for top stable. Sister to two smart US milers; no surprise if she features on debut.
5th	4 5th (4) (200/1 -100%) Calaxy	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Calaxy 200/1, 33/1, last of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) on debut. Off 106 days. Well beaten when 33-1 for debut at Lingfield in May and not seen again since.

7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 -100%) Bowerchalke	12 12/1(-100%)	(3) Bowerchalke 12/1, 15/2, fourth of 11 in maiden at Nottingham (6f, good) on debut 31 days ago. Open to progress. Encouraging debut when fourth over 6f at Nottingham; needs to improve but has potential.

Jowddah made a promising start when runner-up at Newmarket having shown signs of inexperience and Roger Varian's filly is expected to go well. That said, she faces a very interesting newcomer in the shape of SANDTRAP, a 450,000gns purchase whose full-brother recently became a Grade 1 winner in the US. The daughter of Lope De Vega gets the vote, while the extra furlong may bring about improvement from Bowerchalke on her second outing.

Roger Varian's JOWDDAH made an encouraging start to her career at Newmarket and should prove a tough nut to crack unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding newcomers Sandtrap and/or Take A Breath.

Newmarket runner-up JOWDDAH is unlikely to remain a maiden for much longer and is taken to put her experience to good use.

5th	11 5th (11) (5/1 -82%) Mercurial	5 5/1(-82%)	(11) Mercurial 5/1, Course winner. Scored at the Curragh in April. 9/1, very good second of 12 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, soft) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. The one to beat off an unchanged mark. Clear second at Roscommon last week; due to go up 6lb in future; great chance.

8th	13 8th (13) (11/1 -100%) Berkshire Nugget	11 11/1(-100%)	(13) Berkshire Nugget 11/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, landed 5-runner maiden (1/9) at Brighton (7f, good) 24 days ago. Can make his presence felt. Won a weak maiden last time; has frame possibilities on best handicap form.

Love Billy Boy took the silver medal home at Ascot last week and is aided by his plum draw in stall one here, so he ought to go close off an unchanged mark. However, the vote goes to PAWS FOR THOUGHT, who is a four-time course winner and finished a close-up fourth over 6f here on his latest outing. Donald McCain's six-year-old can continue his fine form and return to winning ways. Mudamer and Mercurial are just two others to consider.

Irish-challenger MERCURIAL can race off the same mark as when a very good Roscommon runner-up last time out so looks the way to go here. Mudamer shaped well when a recent third at Beverley and is next on the list ahead of Brighton-scorer Berkshire Nugget and course-winner Love Billy Boy.

Mercurial has an unfavourable draw but otherwise holds major claims, while PHOENIX OF DREAMS and Quest For Fun are interesting.

Info	Form	Odds
3	3 (3) (14/1 -17%) Paidi's Passion	14 14/1(-17%)	(3) Paidi's Passion 14/1, Hurdles/chase scorer for David Christie who proved better than ever when landing Connacht National (25.2f) on debut for new yard in June. Not disgraced next 2 starts but she backed out of things quickly at Kilbeggan on latest start 21 days ago. Returns to timber now. Went off too hard when pulled up at Kilbeggan; could be well treated back over hurdles.
1	5 1st (5) (7/2 +13%) Cobra Queen	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) Cobra Queen 7/2, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Much-improved when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft, 17/2) in July and further progress when runner-up at Downpatrick (21.8f) 33 days ago. Again showed tendency to flash her tail but there could be more to come at this sort of trip. Stayed on when second at Downpatrick; the choice of Blackmore but temperament concerns.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 -33%) Ring O Roses	12 12/1(-33%)	(4) Ring O Roses 12/1, Winner of a course maiden (16.2f) early last year and largely performed with credit in defeat in handicaps thereafter. Hasn't come up to expectations in a couple of chase starts in recent months but she appeals as a likely bounce back candidate returned to hurdling. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Unseated rider at the first fence here last month; return to hurdling could suit.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/3 +0%) Natural Look	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(1) Natural Look 10/3, Successful with a bit to spare in claimer at Clonmel in May (final start for Declan Queally) and improved on debut for new yard when good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19.3f, good to soft) 63 days ago, clear of rest. Big player. Runner-up to The Wallpark (form boosted) on stable debut at Kilbeggan; big form chance.
4	7 4th (7) (12/1 -140%) Folly Beach	12 12/1(-140%)	(7) Folly Beach 12/1, Fair Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Second of 17 in novice hurdle (9/2) at Cork (17f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Not taken lightly. No match for Aurora Vega at Cork last month but she was clear of the rest.
5th	6 5th (6) (13/2 +35%) Jolie Jewel	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(6) Jolie Jewel 13/2, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. Hooded for 1st time, produced another solid effort when fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good to soft, 28/1) 44 days ago. Feasible to think there's more to come and she's comfortably one of the least exposed. Needed a stiffer test when fifth at the Galway festival; step up in trip will suit.
6th	11 6th (11) (18/1 -13%) Game And Glory	18 18/1(-13%)	(11) Game And Glory 18/1, C&D winner. Latest win in hurdle here in April. Fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Kilbeggan (24.4f, soft) 9 days ago, plugging on. Another holding each-way claims. C&D winner but will have a trickier passage, will need every yard and is still 7lb higher.
7th	12 7th (12) (25/1 -150%) Love Like This	25 25/1(-150%)	(12) Love Like This 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourth of 16 in novice hurdle (9/4) at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 9 days ago, going off too hard. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Solid performer; more needed on handicap debut but she should see out the trip.
8th	2 8th (2) (8/1 +33%) Theflyingbee	8 8/1(+33%)	(2) Theflyingbee 8/1, Off the mark at second attempt over hurdles at Bellewstown (20.5f) in April and, despite making errors, she improved when fifth of 17 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (19.3f, good to soft) 135 days ago. Could have more to offer now sights set on handicaps. Tough task when a good fifth at Punchestown in May; this looks easier.
9th	8 9th (8) (11/1 +21%) Ginnets Girl	11 11/1(+21%)	(8) Ginnets Girl 11/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner but not truly threatening of late, eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24.3f, soft) 40 days ago, merely closing up late. Others appeal more. This season's form has been poor and she was beaten out of sight around here twice.
10th	9 10th (9) (9/1 +55%) Influential Lady	9 9/1(+55%)	(9) Influential Lady 9/1, Course winner. Latest win in hurdle at Navan in March. Seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 10/1) 7 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. She has good form around here and the step up in trip won't be an issue.
11th	10 11th (10) (12/1 -50%) Andyourbirdcansing	12 12/1(-50%)	(10) Andyourbirdcansing 12/1, Winner in hurdle at Sligo in June. 10/1, bounced back to form when second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 9 days ago. Claims of making the frame again turned out quickly. Bounced back in 2nd at Kilbeggan last week; up 2lb in a tougher race and stamina doubts.

NATURAL LOOK made a bright start to life with Ross O'Sullivan when second in Kilbeggan, and the form looked better when the horse that beat her followed up in a valuable handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival. Natural Look won two of her last four races for her former trainer. Henry de Bromhead's Cobra Queen has a Cork handicap hurdle in the book and was second over a similar trip at Downpatrick. This is a new trip for Theflyingbee, but she acquitted herself well in fifth in an auction hurdle final at Punchestown and scored at Bellewstown on her penultimate start. Cobra Queen's stablemate, Ring O Roses, switches back to hurdles with cheekpieces applied and has a chance.

Successful in claiming company at Clonmel in May, NATURAL LOOK shaped well starting out for her new yard when runner-up (12 lengths clear of the third) back in handicap company at Kilbeggan in July. Given another break ahead of this, she looks up to making her mark again. Cobra Queen and Folly Beach are feared most, whilst a return to hurdling may see Ring O Roses in a better light.

Runner-up to the progressive The Wallpark on stable debut at Kilbeggan, NATURAL LOOK looks well treated off her current mark

1	9 1st (9) (11/8 +45%) Tipsy Tiger	1.375 11/8(+45%)	(9) Tipsy Tiger 11/8, Worked his way back to full fitness this term and was right on his game when narrowly denied at Newbury a couple of months ago. Connections have presumably waited for some cut in the ground, and cheekpieces go back on, so everything is in his favour. Good form claims on last two 1m2f runs on heavy/good to soft; not want ground to dry out.
2	10 2nd (10) (7/2 +46%) Amancio	3.5 7/2(+46%)	(10) Amancio 7/2, Settled better than usual when opening his account in the mud at Haydock (1m) in April and has generally held his form since, albeit his latest effort at Epsom wasn't his best. Not ruled out. Front-running 1m win in April; perhaps has his share of weight on 1m2f form since.
3	5 3rd (5) (18/1 -350%) Odin Legacy	18 18/1(-350%)	(5) Odin Legacy 18/1, Unexposed colt who again shaped with encouragement when third at Chelmsford last time. Handicapper hasn't been lenient with opening mark but could get involved if the longer trip brings more out of him. Promising belated return over 1m on AW; this mark is no gift but can improve for 1m2f.
4	7 4th (7) (16/1 -33%) Nini Star	16 16/1(-33%)	(7) Nini Star 16/1, Fair form, first run for David Menuisier when third of 10 in 1¼m course handicap on penultimate start but failed to back it up at Goodwood 84 days ago. Good 3rd on yard debut at Goodwood (1m2f); way back on latest; return to 1m2f should suit.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 +60%) Monteria	16 16/1(+60%)	(8) Monteria 16/1, Not firing at present and is hard to make a case for. Dual 1m2f winner on soft in 2023 but he hasn't approached that form this season.
6th	2 6th (2) (17/2 +29%) Maso Bastie	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(2) Maso Bastie 17/2, Becoming well treated and, although not quite at the top of his game, he wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Doncaster last time. Could get involved if the race is run to suit. Two good runs over 1m2f for this yard; return to stiff finish will suit; has every chance.
7th	1 7th (1) (50/1 -213%) Forca Timao	50 50/1(-213%)	(1) Forca Timao 50/1, Had been in good form prior to being scuppered by a tardy start at Chelmsford last time. Down to a handy mark and has left Richard Hannon, so not a forlorn hope after a couple of months off. Well treated on best turf form at 1m2f in 2023; lost his way on AW for R Hannon since.
8th	6 8th (6) (13/2 -63%) John Chard Vc	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(6) John Chard Vc 13/2, 9/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, soft) 15 days ago. On a handy mark and should go well again. Lightly raced; nearly took advantage of reduced mark latest; likely to go well again.
9th	3 9th (3) (14/1 -40%) Junkanoo	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) Junkanoo 14/1, Fairly useful sort on the Flat who goes well in the mud. Didn't fire when last seen over hurdles 4 months ago and might strip fitter for this, but he's worth monitoring in the betting. Quite promising hurdler since latest Flat run; has won after a layoff; could go well.

Having posted creditable seconds at Leicester and Newbury, Tipsy Tiger warrants consideration. However, a 3lb rise for his narrow defeat at the Berkshire track will require a career-best performance and handicap debutant ODIN LEGACY is open to more improvement. Richard Hannon's three-year-old has made the frame on his last two efforts over a mile in novice/maiden company and this first attempt at 1m2f could do the trick. John Chard Vc and Amancio are also noted.

TIPSY TIGER arrives in top form and goes well in the conditions, so he gets the nod over John Chard VC, who was also runner-up last time. Odin Legacy is also a player if he can improve for the longer trip.

Although MASO BASTIE rarely makes life easy for himself he put up a good show in July and should be suited by this stiff track

From an excellent family and, having been well backed, got the better of a subsequent winner in ready fashion at Hamilton 3 weeks ago. Looks an excellent prospect.

Closely related to smart 7f winner Bravais (by Frankel): dam, 6f winner (including Duchess of Cambridge/Lowther Stakes at 2 yrs), half-sister to 1000 Guineas/Oaks winner Love. Interesting newcomer on paper. By Galileo, as is her dam's half-sister, the five-time Group 1 winner Love; one to note.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/6 +62%) Valvano	0.666667 4/6(+62%)	(2) Valvano 4/6, Made a highly promising start to his career when a 6-length winner in the mud at Nottingham last year and left that form behind when runner-up to the talented Notable Speech at Kempton 5 months ago. Upped in trip and boasts solid claims. Heavy-ground win as a 2yo and second to the 2,000 Guineas winner on AW in April; form pick.
4	4 4th (4) (80/1 -142%) Wiltshire Wonder	80 80/1(-142%)	(4) Wiltshire Wonder 80/1, Bumper winner who was sent off a big price and didn't make much impression in a novice at Southwell on Flat debut. Probably more of a handicap type. Won a bumper in June but, following an AW run ten days ago, he can't be fancied in this.
5th	3 5th (3) (150/1 -200%) Sixfiveseven	150 150/1(-200%)	(3) Sixfiveseven 150/1, Showed fairly useful form when placed in maidens at Compiegne and Cholet in France in late 2022. No encouragement for Syd Hosie and Richard Hawker over hurdles, though, so something to prove. Placed twice on Flat in French provinces in 2022; did not show much in two hurdle races.
6th	7 6th (7) (150/1 -50%) Fire And Rain	150 150/1(-50%)	(7) Fire And Rain 150/1, Little show on debut and looks firmly up against it. 80-1 for maiden at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) two weeks ago and beaten 15l, with low-level form.

VALVANO has been gelded since chasing home 2000 Guineas hero Notable Speech at Kempton in April and the step up to 1m2f, combined with some cut in the ground, is likely to see him prove too good for these rivals. Military Academy's debut success at Hamilton was boosted with the runner-up landing a valuable handicap at Ascot last weekend and he remains a colt with plenty of potential. Others to note include King Chaos and At No Time.

MILITARY ACADEMY was impressive when making a winning debut at Hamilton three weeks ago and the runner-up (who was giving him weight) that day has since bolted up in a handicap off 86, so he's well worth a chance to follow up for all that Valvano also looks potentially smart. At No Time is a notable newcomer.

Military Academy left a big impression on his recent debut but VALVANO, absent since April, may be good enough to thwart him.

Ran at least as well when second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 9/2) 8 days ago, so he can build on his latest effort to resume winning ways.

Below form last 2 outings, though left poorly placed when seventh of 11 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good, 11/2) 60 days ago. Up in trip on first run for yard after leaving Hugo Palmer.

Bounced back from a lesser run when fourth of 12 in novice (9/2) at Southwell (12.1f) 42 days ago, but more required as he takes on his elders with cheekpieces added. Peak effort when solid third off this mark here in May; interesting back here.

Up in trip for his handicap bow. Down the field at Kempton on British debut; best watched.

Celtic Warrior was just touched off by a neck when second in this grade at Epsom last month and should remain competitive off a 2lb higher rating. However, AVIEMORE ran a big race when runner-up over 1m4f on Lingfield's Polytrack off this mark last week and he is taken to go one better now returned to the trip and surface of his sole victory. User Amistoso is another to note in first-time cheekpieces.

AVIEMORE has benefited from going up in trip on his last 3 starts, producing a good effort when runner-up to a well-treated rival at Lingfield 8 days ago, so he is taken to double his tally this time around. Celtic Warrior ran well trying this distance for the first time on his latest outing and is respected.

The return to Chester, combined with first-time headgear, may enable USER AMISTOSO to get off the mark. Aviemore is second choice.

Promising start over fences when second of 8 in maiden at Tramore (22f, good to soft) 26 days ago. The one to beat with improvement likely. Gave stablemate Space Tourist a proper race when second at Tramore on chasing debut.

Fourth of 10 in maiden at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 7/2) on debut over fences 20 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Likely to improve.

A PENNY A HUNDRED is the one to beat here after a fine run to finish second on her chase debut at Tramore last month. The Jukebox Jury mare showed a good level of ability over timber, finishing runner-up in a Grade 3. She was edged out by stablemate Space Tourist late on on her first outing over the larger obstacles and doesn't have to improve much to score. She's A Fine Wine also ran well on her chase debut when fourth to Arctic Fly and looks like an obvious danger. Ballybawn Belter needs to improve on her two showings over fences but, in against mares now, she could get closer.

This looks a decent chance for A PENNY A HUNDRED to build on her promising chase debut second at Tramore last month. Henry de Bromhead's She's A Fine Wine looks the obvious danger after also making quite an encouraging start over fences at Killarney recently.

They might all struggle to beat A PENNY A HUNDRED, who hails from the powerful Willie Mullins yard

Not the force of old this season but faces an easier assignment now. Four Group wins include Group 1 Goodwood Cup in 2023; disappointing since; down in class.

3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 +73%) Salsada	9 9/1(+73%)	(3) Salsada 9/1, Useful mare who was below form over hurdles on latest outing 82 days ago. Probably set for a struggle in this company. Pretty useful on Flat and at her best over hurdles; this looks a tough return to the Flat.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

This appears to represent a fine opportunity for QUICKTHORN to record his first victory since the 2023 Goodwood Cup. The seven-year-old is expected to revert to his old front-running tactics and take advantage of an ideal confidence booster. Drawn To Dream should appreciate underfoot conditions based on her German form which includes a Listed success over 2m4f. Salsada rates best of the remainder on her first Flat appearance in over two years.

None of this quintet arrive in form but QUICKTHORN wasn't disgraced last time and should be hard to pass if he can build up a lead. Sumo Sam may contest the pace and is closely matched with the selection at the weights, while Drawn To Dream is no forlorn hope if able to bounce back.

They have not been able to show it this year but the class acts in this field are QUICKTHORN and Sumo Sam. The latter ran yesterday.

Sixth of 12 in handicap chase at Killarney (23.4f, soft, 16/1) 22 days ago, dropping away early in the straight. Bulk of recent chase exploits hardly inspire confidence ahead of this.

JOE'S TURN was a cosy winner at Kilbeggan on his last outing and may be able to follow up, despite a 10lb hike for that success. The Jet Away gelding was making his first start for Mark McNiff then, having run well when placed at the same track previously. He won a couple of point-to-points and is still unexposed over fences. Kadys Dirha chased him home last time and is entitled to be a big player on revised terms. My Friend The Wind has been running well over hurdles and switches back to fences now off a lower mark. He's another who has to come into calculations.

JOE'S TURN confirmed the promise of his chase debut equipped with a tongue strap/stepping back up in trip when running out a comfortable winner at Kilbeggan 21 days ago and a 10 lb hike in the weights is unlikely to prevent another bold showing from this low-mileage 8-y-o. Kadys Dirha was one place behind the selection on that occasion and, along with My Friend The Wind, may well provide chief resistance again.

JOE'S TURN appeals most. He's entirely unexposed and was well-backed ahead of his first chase success last time out

A winner of two of his last three starts, and runner-up in a contest at Newmarket last time which has worked out well, STRIKE sets the standard on form and he can notch up a fifth career success for his in-form connections. A progressive sort earlier this year, Tiriac remains on a workable mark and is likely to figure, along with Newbury second Capote's Dream and Bishop's Crown.

CAPOTE'S DREAM looks primed for a bold showing on the back of his eye-catching Newbury second so edges the verdict in this very open handicap. Tiriac didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Goodwood last time and could emerge as the chief rival to Tom Ward's 7-y-o ahead of in-form duo Strike and Bishop's Crown. Ray Vonn completes the shortlist.

Tiriac will be hard to beat on slow ground but the drying forecast tips the scales in favour of CAPOTE'S DREAM (nap).

JUST JACOB may just have been getting a bit lonely in front at Tramore last time and was good value for his two-and-a-quarter-length win after making all the running. He went up 9lb but if he gets an easy lead again around here, he could take a bit of pegging back. Erigmoor chased him home and is now half a stone better off. He has been knocking on the door and looks like an obvious contender again. Red Ball Of Fire ran a solid race in a beginners chase at Downpatrick last time. He tries handicaps for the first time over the larger obstacles and is on the same mark as his hurdles rating.

ERIGMOOR allowed re-opposing Just Jacob plenty of the rope on the front end when the pair finished 2-1 respectively in a Tramore handicap 26 days ago. Gordon Elliott's charge is 7 lb better off with the latter on this occasion, and with the return to this longer trip in his favour, he earns the vote to reverse the placings here. Itsalonglongroad and Cahirdown Boy are others worth a look.

An easy winner of this race last year, a close market watch is advised for THE EYE OF TULLA who might be targeted at the contest again

3	5 3rd (5) (18/1 -227%) Unico	18 18/1(-227%)	(5) Unico 18/1, Won a 6f Yarmouth handicap in April for Marco Botti. Best effort for this yard when second of 4 over 6f at Lingfield (AW) 13 days ago. Claims if she can build on that. Back in form on turf and AW of late; competitive off 1lb lower than latest win in April.
4	2 4th (2) (15/2 +6%) Sub Thirteen	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(2) Sub Thirteen 15/2, Three wins from 7 runs this year, including over 5f here on heavy in May. Given a break since a below-par run at Chepstow in July. Won 3 of 4 sprints for new yard; ran flat in July but could resume progress back at 6f.
5th	11 5th (11) (14/1 +13%) Thunderous Love	14 14/1(+13%)	(11) Thunderous Love 14/1, C&D winner in the mud in May. 5/1, last of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.5f, heavy) 21 days ago. C&D winner on soft in May; not as good since but today's conditions might see a revival.
6th	1 6th (1) (5/1 -67%) Glitterella	5 5/1(-67%)	(1) Glitterella 5/1, Still maiden but that should change soon, going down by only a short head at Bath (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Leading claims. Runner-up over 6f and 5f on last two starts; a first win edges closer.
7th	9 7th (9) (8/1 -7%) Art Fantastique	8 8/1(-7%)	(9) Art Fantastique 8/1, Won first 2 nurseries at the end of last summer. Ended his 2-y-o campaign with a good third of 11 at Southwell (6f) in November. His absence since has to be a slight concern but Tom Marquand is a good booking. Won first two handicaps, over 6f on good ground; off since November; may do better yet.
8th	3 8th (3) (33/1 -65%) Clyde Bay	33 33/1(-65%)	(3) Clyde Bay 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up on Bath handicap debut and reappearance in April. Absent since. Can only really watch this time. Likely type for handicaps; pulled up lame in April; yard has won this twice since 2014.
9th	8 9th (8) (17/2 +39%) Intertwined	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(8) Intertwined 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1 and blinkered first time, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (1m, good to firm) 56 days ago. Down in trip. Billy Loughnane does well for the yard. Big prices and a weak finisher in 1m handicaps; deserves a go over 6f.
10th	4 10th (4) (40/1 -21%) Twisted Tiara	40 40/1(-21%)	(4) Twisted Tiara 40/1, Won a novice at Bath in April. Last of 5 in handicap (14/1) at this course (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Others are more obvious. Not gone on from novice win at about 5f (soft) in April; softish ground should suit better.
11th	6 11th (6) (7/2 +0%) Port Hedland	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(6) Port Hedland 7/2, Fair maiden. 15/8, third of 4 in handicap at Bat h (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Enters calculations. Strong finisher over 5f at Bath last week; ready for another go at 6f; improve.

GLITTERELLA may still be a maiden through seven starts, but she ran arguably a career best when narrowly denied at Bath over 5f last month, and stepping back up in trip should suit with Rossa Ryan taking over in the saddle. A progressive sort last year, Art Fantastique is of interest on his return from a long absence, while Unico looks capable of building on a solid effort at Lingfield latest.

GLITTERELLA seems to be getting her act together now and can gain compensation for last month's Bath near miss. The way that Port Hedland finished off last time suggest that he'll be suited by this return to 6f and he's second choice ahead of Chris Gordon's Unico.

Unico is weighted to win again but PORT HEDLAND can fulfil his earlier promise and get off the mark.

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (6/4 -162%) Jerry From Kerry	1.5 6/4(-162%)	(5) Jerry From Kerry 6/4, Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser The Butcher Said and dual bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Carrarea. 4/6, second of 13 in bumper at Roscommon (15.4f, soft) on debut 38 days ago, green. Sure to progress and win races. Hails from a shrewd yard and is entitled to come on plenty for debut second at Roscommon.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 +30%) Windbeneathmywings	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(1) Windbeneathmywings 7/2, Half-brother to 4 winners, including Sopran Mistery and bumper winner/fairly useful 19f hurdle winner Cascova. 22/1, won 14-runner bumper at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) on debut 70 days ago, all out. Must be respected. Travelled strongly but idled once he hit the front and just held on at Cork; has a penalty.
3	10 3rd (10) (11/1 +8%) Liss Eile	11 11/1(+8%)	(10) Liss Eile 11/1, Order of St George filly out of an unraced half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Gusty Rocky and useful hurdler (stays 21f) Goodbye Someday. Stable 3-23 in bumpers and John Kiely trained 110 Irish bumper winners; watch the market.
4	9 4th (9) (100/1 -52%) Fortuna Lora	100 100/1(-52%)	(9) Fortuna Lora 100/1, Fifth of 8 in bumper at this course (16.4f, soft, 20/1) on debut 18 days ago. Posed no threat to her rivals over C&D on debut last month and hung badly to the left.
5th	2 5th (2) (8/1 +0%) At The Wings	8 8/1(+0%)	(2) At The Wings 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, improved when second of 7 in bumper at Sligo (18.5f, soft, 18/1) 23 days ago, no match for winner. Could go well. Clear 2nd at Sligo last month in first-time tongue-tie; on that evidence would need soft.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 +50%) Eaglewood	10 10/1(+50%)	(4) Eaglewood 10/1, 150/1 winner in bumper at Tipperary in July. 20/1, fifth of 8 in bumper at Galway (16f, soft) 40 days ago. Failed to back up shock win at Galway and has to prove it wasn't a flash in the pan.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/4 +77%) Do Brazil	2.75 11/4(+77%)	(3) Do Brazil 11/4, €23,000 3-y-o, Beaumec De Houelle gelding. Dam (c101/h105), French hurdler (2m winner), half-sister to smart maiden hurdler in France (runner-up 3 times in Graded company) Blue Bresil. 23,000euros 3yo; yard 4-27 in bumpers and 3-9 at the track so market watch advised.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 +50%) King Conor	50 50/1(+50%)	(7) King Conor 50/1, €50,000 brother to dual bumper winner/fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Vegas Blue and fairly useful hurdler Rathhill (2m winner). Last of 6 finishers completed start in points (Mar 2). Poor in a pair of points early in the year; looks impossible to recommend on rules debut.

WINDBENEATHMYWINGS won despite being very free on his debut at Cork back in early July. The Free Eagle gelding travelled well to assert two furlongs from home that day, but got a bit tired late on and held on by a short head from The Last Line. He looks to have a good level of ability if he settles a bit better now. Jerry From Kerry was beaten at a short price on his debut at Roscommon, but was a touch green late on and is open to improvement. He looks like the danger. Richard O'Brien has a good record in bumpers and Spare Chips is a noteworthy newcomer with Finny Maguire booked.

JERRY FROM KERRY was backed into odds on first time up at Roscommon but inexperience got the better of him in the latter stages. That was still a very promising start and he could be hard to beat with improvement on the way. Waiting in the wings will be Cork-winner Windbeneathmywings and At The Wings.

The vote goes to the debutant SPARE CHIPS, who has a likeable pedigree and his yard has a good record in bumpers and at the track

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.
