1	6 1st (6) (8/1 +27%) Prime Art		8 8/1(+27%)																															(6) Prime Art 8/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 16 in maiden at this course (7f, good to soft, 17/2) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Comes from a good family but it may be in handicaps/over further we see the best of her. Beaten 7l and 8l in maidens at the Curragh and here; needs to find improvement.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 -33%) Emerald Banner		4 4/1(-33%)																															(4) Emerald Banner 4/1, Promising type. 5/1, stepped up on debut form when second of 8 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago, keeping on. Open to further improvement and this step back up in trip rates a plus. Sound claims. Second over 5f at Navan to a smart type; looks a leading player back up to this trip.
3	10 3rd (10) (1.25/1 +38%) Sweetest		1.25 1.25/1(+38%)																															(10) Sweetest 1.25/1, Promising type. Second of 11 in maiden at this C&D (good, 4/5) 18 days ago, leading inside final 1f and headed close home. Big Player. Was 1.75l ahead of Vivienda over C&D last time but it could be closer betwen them today.
4	12 4th (12) (4/1 -20%) Vivienda		4 4/1(-20%)																															(12) Vivienda 4/1, Once-raced filly. 11/2, third of 11 in maiden at this C&D (good) on debut 18 days ago, keeping on when short of room inside final 1f. Looks sure to build on that initial effort and she's one to note. Not far behind today's rival Sweetest over C&D on debut; should have improved and go close.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 -65%) Four Blondes		33 33/1(-65%)																															(5) Four Blondes 33/1, Twice-raced filly. 16/1, ninth of 16 in maiden at this course (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago, pushed along over 2f out and making no impression. Debut effort contained promise however, and likely she can do better still. Promise on debut at the Curragh, though beaten 10l; didn't improve upon that over 7f here.
6th	13 6th (13) (28/1 +60%) Zarra Ellis		28 28/1(+60%)																															(13) Zarra Ellis 28/1, Foaled April 2. 55,000 gns foal, Eqtidaar filly. Closely related to 6f winner Catwalk Model and half-sister to several winners, including smart 5f winner Fashion Queen. Dam sprint maiden. By a first-season sire who has got some winners; check market.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 -14%) Ringabella		16 16/1(-14%)																															(7) Ringabella 16/1, Foaled April 30. Acclamation filly. Closely related to high-class 7f-9f winner Waikuku and half-sister to 3 winners, including smart 1¼m winner Waipiro. Dam lightly raced. By a leading sire and comes from a strong damline; worth a market check.
8th	2 8th (2) (50/1 -52%) Blue Soul		50 50/1(-52%)																															(2) Blue Soul 50/1, Foaled May 2. Blue Point filly. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner (stayed 7f) out of useful winner up to 1¾m (2-y-o 7f winner) Right Key. Betting should provide a useful guide ahead of debut. By an exciting first-season sire and could go well but seems stable second-string.
9th	3 9th (3) (8.5/1 +6%) Do Si Do		8.5 8.5/1(+6%)																															(3) Do Si Do 8.5/1, Foaled April 24. 120,000 gns 2-y-o, Kodiac filly. Half-sister to 7f/1m winner Kimnkate. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Makes appeal on paper and she's another worth noting if the market spoke in her favour on racecourse bow. By a leading sire of 2yos and from a yard that does very well with breeze-up horses.
10th	8 10th (8) (100/1 -100%) Rosato		100 100/1(-100%)																															(8) Rosato 100/1, Foaled March 24. €8,000 foal, Raven's Pass filly. Dam unraced out of winning half-sister to dam of very smart 1m (including Hong Kong Mile) winner Admire Mars. Cost 8,000euros as a foal; finished 4th in a Dundalk barrier trial; could run well.
11th	1 11th (1) (125/1 -25%) Avanti Avana		125 125/1(-25%)																															(1) Avanti Avana 125/1, Twice-raced filly. 80/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at this C&D (good) 18 days ago, not knocked about. That was an effort not devoid of encouragement but nurseries likely to be more her bag. Showed no improvement from Dundalk debut when beaten 8l over C&D last time.
12th	11 12th (11) (200/1 -33%) Victor's Choice		200 200/1(-33%)																															(11) Victor's Choice 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, last of 6 in minor event at Roscommon (7.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Huge improvement needed on the form of her two starts.
13th	9 13th (9) (28/1 +58%) Spicy Water		28 28/1(+58%)																															(9) Spicy Water 28/1, Thrice-raced filly. 12/1, ninth of 16 in maiden at Cork (6f, good) 48 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Cheekpieces reached for now but handicaps likely to be more her bag. Best of three runs came over 7f at Limerick on second start (hung left); cheekpieces now.

LTO Selection:

While Sweetest is sure to prove all the rage, it might be worth taking her on. Returned an odds-on chance on her two starts to date, she had to settle for minor honours on both occasions. For a selection, EMERALD BANNER gets the nod. A sister to Group 1 winner Millisle, she improved from start one to two, going down by just three-parts-of-a-length on her latest outing at Navan. Vivienda ran a fine race to finish third on debut over the course and distance last month and with that experience under her belt, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a few places better now. Ringabella is perhaps the most interesting of the five newcomers in the line-up. She holds an entry in the Cheveley Park Stakes and is a half-sister to Waikuku and Waipiro, with the former a three-time winner at the highest level in Hong Kong.

SWEETEST again failed to justify cramped odds in a C&D maiden 18 days ago, yet that shouldn't detract from what was another promising effort from Aidan O'Brien's filly and, with further progress on the cards, she can make it third time lucky. Emerald Banner, back up in trip, and Vivienda, who was a place behind the selection on her debut, head up the dangers.

Having gone close against what looks a smart colt over 5f at Navan last time, EMERALD BANNER can go one better today.

1	5 1st (5) (6.5/1 -371%) Heartrate		6.5 6.5/1(-371%)																															(5) Heartrate 6.5/1, 7/2, career best when winning 6-runner maiden at Tipperary (5f, good), keeping on well. Off 107 days. Sold from Kieran Patrick Cotter 22,000 gns in July. Opening mark looks a good one. 5f maiden winner in Ireland in May; seemingly on a good mark for British debut.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/1 -43%) Unlimited Data		10 10/1(-43%)																															(6) Unlimited Data 10/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Ninth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (7f) 8 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Gained both wins over 5f on Tapeta at Wolverhampton; recent form is underwhelming.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.25/1 +62%) The Cruising Lord		1.25 1.25/1(+62%)																															(1) The Cruising Lord 1.25/1, Latest win at Newbury in July. 50/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 38 days ago. Player back down in class. Not the force of old but was a good winner in July and last month's defeat is excusable.
4	4 4th (4) (2.5/1 +25%) Lord P		2.5 2.5/1(+25%)																															(4) Lord P 2.5/1, Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft, 14/1) 35 days ago, slowly away. Both runs this season were respectable but his tendency to start slowly is always a worry.
5th	3 5th (3) (6/1 +14%) Vape		6 6/1(+14%)																															(3) Vape 6/1, Latest win at Chepstow in May. 28/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good) 27 days ago. Back on last winning mark. Won off this mark in May but has gone right off the boil lately.

LTO Selection:

---

HEARTRATE shed his maiden tag at the eighth time of asking at Tipperary in May and that form is working out very well, with three subsequent winners coming out of the race. The three-year-old now makes his first start for the Mark Loughnane stable and he could be well up to defying his opening mark of 68. Zoukster scored when he was last seen over this trip at Salisbury, and he is three wins from his last five starts. Lord P is best of the rest.

HEARTRATE beat a subsequent winner when off the mark at the eighth attempt in a maiden at Tipperary and his opening mark looks a good one starting out for a new stable. Vape is now back on his last winning mark so is feared along with The Cruising Lord, who's dropping back down in class.

The oldest runner THE CRUISING LORD is still on a workable mark after his Newbury win in July and will find this easier than last time.

1	2 1st (2) (12/1 -9%) Change For Good		12 12/1(-9%)																															(2) Change For Good 12/1, Foaled February 21. Blue Point colt. Half-brother to 7f winner White Umbrella. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Market check advised on debut. Has fair target to aim at on debut and yard is 0-11 with 2yos this season.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 -40%) Noo Point		3.5 3.5/1(-40%)																															(1) Noo Point 3.5/1, Fairly useful colt. Winner at Chepstow in June. 52/10, 5¾ lengths sixth of 10 to Zorken in listed race at La Teste (6f, good) 53 days ago. Respected back in lower grade here. Held in French Listed race latest but he's respected back in calmer waters at new trip.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.5/1 +25%) Juantorena		2.5 2.5/1(+25%)																															(4) Juantorena 2.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who posted another fair effort when fourth of 8 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 17 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Enters calculations. Has leading claims on his best form and he could find more with a visor added.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 +64%) Pick Your Battles		10 10/1(+64%)																															(5) Pick Your Battles 10/1, Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, ninth of 12 in minor event at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Work to do. Still very early days but he needs a transformation back in trip.
5th	6 5th (6) (20/1 -25%) Royal Tapestry		20 20/1(-25%)																															(6) Royal Tapestry 20/1, Twice-raced maiden. 15/2, eighth of 10 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. Up against it. Some promise at Kempton on debut but he was tailed off there last time.
6th	8 6th (8) (8/1 -167%) Queen's Music		8 8/1(-167%)																															(8) Queen's Music 8/1, Posted promising second of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW, 3/1) on debut 15 days ago. Entitled to do better and holds strong claims. Made a good start when going close at Lingfield (7f) 15 days ago and she's a key player.
7th	3 7th (3) (10/1 -11%) Clyde Bay		10 10/1(-11%)																															(3) Clyde Bay 10/1, Foaled May 6. 65,000 gns foal, 40,000 gns yearling, Cable Bay colt. Brother to useful winner up to 6f Jouska and half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 7f Wasim and 2-y-o 6f winner Object. Interesting newcomer. Yard won this with a well-backed newcomer in 2021 and he needs watching in market.
8th	7 8th (7) (3.5/1 +86%) Timebar		3.5 3.5/1(+86%)																															(7) Timebar 3.5/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Ascot (6f, good to soft) on debut 47 days ago. Improvement required. Made a low-key key start at Ascot (6f) and he needs to leave that form a long way behind.

LTO Selection:

---

QUEEN'S MUSIC shaped with considerable promise when a neck second on debut at Lingfield late last month and she is taken to come out on top switching to the turf for the first time. Noo Point ran well enough in a French Listed race last time and is a major player dropping back into novice company. Newcomers Change For Good and Clyde Bay both need market checks.

Preference is for QUEEN'S MUSIC, who should have learnt plenty from her recent encouraging Lingfield debut. Juantorena and Noo Point look the likeliest dangers.

The vote goes to QUEEN'S MUSIC, who is a half-sister to six winners and made a good start when going close at Lingfield 15 days ago.

1	8 1st (8) (10/1 +29%) Room Service		10 10/1(+29%)																															(8) Room Service 10/1, Made a successful start at Wetherby in May. Just similar form when third over 5f at Beverley next time but he improved back from a short break when 2 lengths third of 16 in a 6f York nursery last month, nearest finish. May benefit from this slightly longer trip. Sound effort in nursery at the York Ebor festival; could go well again.
2	17 2nd (17) (1.75/1 +22%) Dragon Leader		1.75 1.75/1(+22%)																															(17) Dragon Leader 1.75/1, Unbeaten in 3 starts, looking a smart sprinter in the making when a wide-margin winner of the 22-runner Harry Beeby Premier Yearling Stakes at York (6f, good to firm) last month. Very much the one to beat. Impressive in similar event at York, taking record to 3-3; leading contender.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +11%) Johannes Brahms		2 2/1(+11%)																															(3) Johannes Brahms 2/1, Siyouni colt who won a novice event at Naas on his debut and has shown very useful form when second in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) and Gimcrack at York (6f, good to firm) since. Sure to go well but he does have to concede 10 lb to Dragon Leader. Ballydoyle colt who ran well in the Gimcrack last time; big player on form.
4	10 4th (10) (14/1 -17%) Soldier's Gold		14 14/1(-17%)																															(10) Soldier's Gold 14/1, Soldier's Call colt who won Carlisle novice and Ascot nursery (both 6f) in midsummer. Good fifth of 20 in nursery at York (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Looks the pick of his stable's 4 contenders. Largely progressive; ran well in York nursery last time; frame possibilities.
5th	15 5th (15) (33/1 -106%) Flaccianello		33 33/1(-106%)																															(15) Flaccianello 33/1, Improved when taking her career record to 2-4 in a 6f Newmarket nursery (soft) last month. The slightly longer trip here should suit and she's an each-way contender for a stable no stranger to success in this race. Something to find on form but chance would improve granted slow ground.
6th	13 6th (13) (12/1 +14%) Lambert		12 12/1(+14%)																															(13) Lambert 12/1, Has won all 3 starts since his debut, namely a 7f Newmarket seller and novices at Yarmouth (7f) and Kempton (1m). Shorter trip now a slight concern but he appeals as the type to keep on improving. Improving sort who is bidding for a four-timer; possibilities.
7th	12 7th (12) (50/1 -100%) We Never Stop		50 50/1(-100%)																															(12) We Never Stop 50/1, Improved to win a 6f Pontefract novice in July but finished well behind Dragon Leader at York last month. Comfortably held in similar event at York but may bounce back.
8th	2 8th (2) (28/1 +15%) Grey Cuban		28 28/1(+15%)																															(2) Grey Cuban 28/1, Runner-up in 6f novice events on his first 2 outings but well behind Dragon Leader at York last time. Came up well short in the York contest won by Dragon Leader.
9th	16 9th (16) (66/1 +18%) Imperial Express		66 66/1(+18%)																															(16) Imperial Express 66/1, Better effort in 2 runs last month when 5 lengths third in 6f Newmarket maiden latterly. Yard has a good recent record in this but she'll need considerable improvement to get heavily involved. Has some ability but this looks a stiff task.
10th	1 10th (1) (40/1 -21%) Balon D'Or		40 40/1(-21%)																															(1) Balon D'Or 40/1, Fairly useful performer who was a creditable sixth of 20 in a 7f York nursery 3 weeks ago. This slightly shorter trip could be ideal but he'll need to raise his game to even reach the frame here. 0-6 since debut win and limitations look exposed; tough task on these terms.
11th	14 11th (14) (22/1 -10%) Run Boy Run		22 22/1(-10%)																															(14) Run Boy Run 22/1, Fairly useful form when runner-up over 7f at Newmarket and Chelmsford last month. Slightly shorter trip here unlikely to inconvenience and he won't need to raise his game too much to reach the frame. Looks a winner waiting to happen; interesting despite the rise in class.
12th	11 12th (11) (33/1 +34%) Watcha Matey		33 33/1(+34%)																															(11) Watcha Matey 33/1, Placed 4 times prior to finally coming good in a 7f Newmarket novice last month. Unlikely he'll be up to the task here, though. Ratings suggest he's unlikely to follow up his Newmarket win.
13th	6 13th (6) (80/1 +0%) Al Shabab		80 80/1(+0%)																															(6) Al Shabab 80/1, Fair form when third in maiden/novice events on his last 2 outings but he'll require a good deal more here. Possesses ability but has a lot to find on ratings.
14th	9 14th (9) (28/1 +0%) Vantheman		28 28/1(+0%)																															(9) Vantheman 28/1, All the better for his debut when successful in 6-runner maiden at Ayr in July. Travelled well for a long way when 5¾ lengths fifth of 22 to Dragon Leader in a similar race at York 3 weeks ago. Has the potential for better but it's hard to see him turning the tables on Clive Cox's charge. Finished 6l behind Dragon Leader at York; now worse off with that rival.
15th	18 15th (18) (18/1 -80%) Komat		18 18/1(-80%)																															(18) Komat 18/1, Made a winning debut at Redcar (5f) in April and better form in defeat at listed/Group level since, finishing fifth of 10 in the Princess Margaret at Ascot on latest start in July. Unlikely to be too far away in receipt of weight from all her rivals. Ran well in the Albany two starts ago; place possibilities on ratings.
16th	7 16th (7) (50/1 +0%) Celtic Warrior		50 50/1(+0%)																															(7) Celtic Warrior 50/1, Stepped up on debut when third of 16 in novice at Chelmsford (7f) 14 days ago but a big chunk of improvement will be needed to get heavily involved here. Looks held by Run Boy Run on latest effort.
17th	5 17th (5) (28/1 -27%) Kodiac Thriller		28 28/1(-27%)																															(5) Kodiac Thriller 28/1, Shaped well when second on 6f Windsor debut in July. Perhaps found the outing coming a bit soon when only fifth at Ascot (6f again) 12 days later. This looks a big ask but he does retain potential. Form of latest effort is working out well but this is no easy task.

LTO Selection:

JOHANNES BRAHMS sets a lofty standard in this, with a rating of 106 after his second in the Gimcrack at York, and he still has bundles of improvement in him. The son of Siyouni could prove very difficult to beat against this level of competition. The main danger is Dragon Leader, who was an impressive winner by over four lengths at York and is unbeaten in three starts, so he could have a say. Komat wasn't disgraced in fifth in the Princess Margaret at Ascot and she holds solid each-way claims.

A big field as usual for this valuable prize but it's still hard to ignore the claims of DRAGON LEADER, who romped home in a similar race at York last month and can make the most of the 10 lb he receives from likely main danger Johannes Brahms. Amo Racing pair Komat and Flaccianello should be involved in the battle for minor honours along with Room Service and Run Boy Run.

Slow ground would complicate matters to an extent but otherwise this looks a toss up between DRAGON LEADER and Johannes Brahms.

Dam, winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Garcia. Plenty of appeal on paper for top yard and has some good entries. Cost 375,000gns as a yearling and is by the sire of Paddington and Tahiyra; respected.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/1 +13%) Laugier Night		7 7/1(+13%)																															(2) Laugier Night 7/1, Foaled March 28. €160,000 yearling, Night of Thunder colt. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 6f-1m winner La Pelosa and 2-y-o 5f winner Melayu Kingdom. Dam unraced. Likely type on paper but a while since yard last had a winning 2-y-o newcomer. A 160,000euros yearling is by a quality sire and yard remains in good form; market check.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/1 -100%) Mr Saturday		5 5/1(-100%)																															(5) Mr Saturday 5/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 4/1, fifth of 8 in nursery at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Sets the standard and big run expected. Beaten 5l in a Navan nursery last time and will have to improve on that back to a maiden.
4	7 4th (7) (28/1 -12%) Valentino Express		28 28/1(-12%)																															(7) Valentino Express 28/1, Tongue strap on, 6¾ lengths sixth of 11 to Mctenett in C&D maiden (25/1) on debut 18 days ago, slowly away. Should improve but has plenty to find. Ran with promise over C&D on recent debut after being slowly away; should improve plenty.
5th	3 5th (3) (66/1 +34%) Livin It Up		66 66/1(+34%)																															(3) Livin It Up 66/1, €45,000 yearling, Showcasing gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 9.5f winner Hayyan and 6f winner Pokhara. Tenth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 100/1) on debut 26 days ago. Lots more needed. Beaten 14l at the Curragh when a big price on debut; needs to find loads of improvement.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 -56%) Tsunami Speed		28 28/1(-56%)																															(6) Tsunami Speed 28/1, Foaled March 10. 42,000 gns foal, €105,000 yearling, U S Navy Flag colt. Half-brother to 6f-1m winner Mostallim and useful 9.5f winner Technique. Dam 1½m winner. Wears tongue strap. Cost 42,000gns as a foal and 105,000euros as a yearling; worth a market check; tongue-tie.
7th	1 7th (1) (50/1 +0%) Amerigo Vespucci		50 50/1(+0%)																															(1) Amerigo Vespucci 50/1, Twice-raced colt. 50/1, eighth of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good) 33 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Little appeal. Regressed from first to second start and looks more one for handicaps.

Out of American Grade 3 winner Hostess, MILITARY won't have to be a star to take this on debut. Bought for 375,000 guineas as a yearling, the Siyouni colt holds a whole host of big race entries. The 84-rated Mr Saturday is the obvious danger. He filled the runner-up spot on his first two starts, but has been disappointing since. Ger Lyons looks to have found a nice opportunity for the Blue Point gelding and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to make the breakthrough. Darren Bunyan has his horses in fine form of late and his Valentino Express warrants respect after finishing a solid sixth on debut over the course and distance. Laugier Night is a half-brother to La Pelosa, a winner at the highest level in America, and the Noel Meade-trained colt is another for the shortlist.

MILITARY makes plenty of appeal on paper starting out for Aidan O'Brien and boasts some tasty entries, so it would be no surprise to see him make a winning start in a pretty thin maiden. Mr Saturday sets the standard and is the clear danger.

The expensively-bought Ballydoyle colt MILITARY is by the same sire as current stars Paddington and Tahiyra, so could well win on debut

1	3 1st (3) (3.33/1 -90%) Hedge Fund		3.33 3.33/1(-90%)																															(3) Hedge Fund 3.33/1, 10/3, showed improved form to get off the mark despite still showing signs of inexperience in 6-runner nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 13 days ago, making all and always holding on. Appeals as the type to do better still. 6f AW winner on recent nursery debut; races freely, so this drop in trip might suit.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.5/1 +29%) Whoop Whoop		2.5 2.5/1(+29%)																															(2) Whoop Whoop 2.5/1, 12/1, possibly unsuited by conditions when well held on nursery debut at Goodwood (6f, soft) just under 6 weeks ago. Can get back on track in this lesser contest. Found valuable nursery far too hot last time but has claims if judged on earlier promise.
3	4 3rd (4) (5.5/1 +8%) Crooked Crown		5.5 5.5/1(+8%)																															(4) Crooked Crown 5.5/1, Winner at Chepstow in June. Ran poorly when ninth of 10 in nursery (13/2) at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and better anticipated with her sights lowered somewhat. Has underwhelmed since comfortable maiden win in June; blinkers added today.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 -11%) Outer Edge		10 10/1(-11%)																															(5) Outer Edge 10/1, Showed more than previously dropped to 5f when fourth of 10 in minor event (200/1) at Bath (good to firm) 22 days ago, running on. Makes handicap debut. Belied 200-1 odds when fourth at Bath last month; now makes his nursery debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (2/1 +27%) Notta Nother		2 2/1(+27%)																															(1) Notta Nother 2/1, Winner at Goodwood in June. 14/1, shaped well with the drop back in trip firmly against him when fourth of 10 in nursery at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Surprising to see him kept to this distance, but could get away with it in this lesser contest. Recovered from sluggish start to take fourth at Sandown last month; this race looks easier.

LTO Selection:

---

Hedge Fund made all to go in by just under a length at Wolverhampton on his nursery bow, which was a pleasing display, but he will find it tough off a 4lb higher mark. For that reason, the vote goes to NOTTA NOTHER, who was an encouraging fourth at Sandown in a class 4 event and the handicapper has been kind enough to drop him 2lb for that effort. Crooked Crown sports first-time blinkers and completes the shortlist.

HEDGE FUND showed improved form despite still showing signs of inexperience when scoring on nursery debut at Wolverhampton just under a fortnight ago and with even better to come he's fancied to follow up at the expense of Notta Nother, who looked unsuited by the drop to 5f last time but should be in the mix dropped into Class 5 company. Crooked Crown can fill out third spot.

This is a drop in grade for NOTTA NOTHER, who put in good late work late time and now looks well handicapped on his maiden win.

1	4 1st (4) (2.75/1 +45%) Marlay Park		2.75 2.75/1(+45%)																															(4) Marlay Park 2.75/1, Three-time C&D winner, including this race in 2021. After 8 weeks off, not discredited when fourth of 6 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D (good) 17 days ago. Merits consideration having dropped below his last winning mark. Triple C&D winner but he's not made an impact here in last two runs; needs to find more.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/1 +8%) Secret Strength		11 11/1(+8%)																															(8) Secret Strength 11/1, Latest win at Newbury in June. Not in the same form as previous outing when fifth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D (good) 17 days ago, reverting to his slow-starting ways. Capable of getting involved off his current mark. Won at Newbury in June but he's been generally disappointing since; others preferred.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 +38%) Magical Merlin		4 4/1(+38%)																															(6) Magical Merlin 4/1, Succcessful at Lingfield in June. Runner-up at this course (6f) in July before below-form eleventh of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 28 days ago. Could bounce back with cheekpieces on 1st time. 3yo who is not easy to predict and has something to prove back up in trip; new headgear.
4	1 4th (1) (3/1 +25%) Larado		3 3/1(+25%)																															(1) Larado 3/1, Goes well at this track and returned to form when second of 7 in handicap (6/1) back at this C&D (good) 17 days ago. Not taken lightly from 2 lb below his last winning mark. 2-5 at Epsom and he returned to form with a good second over C&D last time; respected.
5th	9 5th (9) (20/1 +20%) Peace Of Mine		20 20/1(+20%)																															(9) Peace Of Mine 20/1, Made a winning return at Nottingham in April but hasn't gone on from that effort since, faring no better in first-time tongue strap when sixth of 8 in handicap (20/1) at Newbury (7f, good) 27 days ago. Only 1lb higher than for last win but she's lost her way and needs to turn things around.
6th	5 6th (5) (4/1 +11%) Redredrobin		4 4/1(+11%)																															(5) Redredrobin 4/1, Five wins from 10 runs this year, recording back-to-back C&D victories this summer. 3/1, again ran well when third of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 17 days ago, nearest finish. Respected. Likeable mare who has won five times this season and she should give it another good shot.
7th	3 7th (3) (18/1 -29%) Bowman		18 18/1(-29%)																															(3) Bowman 18/1, C&D winner. Again below form when last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 25/1) on his latest outing in November. Cheekpieces left off on his return from 9-month absence. His last win came off 1lb higher over C&D and he needs watching in market on comeback.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 +0%) Baileysgutfeeling		33 33/1(+0%)																															(2) Baileysgutfeeling 33/1, Form has gone the wrong way, last of 12 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm, 80/1) 5 days ago. Others preferred. On dangerous mark but he's hard to predict and was tailed off last time; risks attached.

LTO Selection:

---

The presence of both Bowman and Larado suggests that this could be run at a solid tempo and as a result it may set up nicely for MAGICAL MERLIN. The selection has cheekpieces on for the first time and has often shaped as though this trip would be within his reach, so the three-year-old is taken to add to his tally. Marlay Park hasn't been firing of late but is dangerous here.

RESTRICT showed the benefit of a recent run when edged out only on the line at Newbury on his turf debut 16 days ago, so he is taken to build on that to resume winning ways. The 3-y-o can get the better of Larado, who bounced back to form at this C&D last time, while Redredrobin continues in good heart and can be thereabouts once more.

Preference is for the lightly raced 3yo RESTRICT, who resumed his progress with a near-miss on his turf debut at Newbury last time.

1	1 1st (1) (1.1/1 +20%) Darnation		1.1 1.1/1(+20%)																															(1) Darnation 1.1/1, Faced with softer ground, left debut form behind when a wide-margin winner of a Thirsk novice (7f) in July. Progressed again under more testing conditions when landing Prestige Stakes at Goodwood and there could be more to come over this extra furlong. Leading contender. Two wins on ground, latest in the Prestige at Goodwood; holds leading claims on form.
2	8 2nd (8) (4/1 +20%) See The Fire		4 4/1(+20%)																															(8) See The Fire 4/1, Bred to be useful and knew what was required when making a winning start in 12-runner maiden at Newmarket (7f) last month, scoring with authority. Will be suited by this longer distance and she's an interesting contender quickly upped in class. Made a successful debut at Newmarket last month; appears well regarded; interesting.
3	5 3rd (5) (14/1 -40%) Les Bleus		14 14/1(-40%)																															(5) Les Bleus 14/1, Left her 5f Sandown debut in May well behind when seeing off 13 rivals in a 6f novice at Newmarket in July. Better form since, fourth in the Prix du Calvados at Deauville last time, but others look to have more potential. Brings Group form and has progressive RPRs; could go well again.
4	4 4th (4) (5.5/1 +8%) Hard To Resist		5.5 5.5/1(+8%)																															(4) Hard To Resist 5.5/1, Proved a different proposition to on debut when opening account in minor event at Newmarket (7f) in August, showing a good attitude. Much improved again when 2 lengths third of 6 to Darnation in Prestige Stakes at Goodwood 19 days ago and could do better still upped in trip. Ties in with Darnation on Prestige running (her effort can be marked up); big player.
5th	2 5th (2) (33/1 -32%) Francophone		33 33/1(-32%)																															(2) Francophone 33/1, Made a winning debut in minor event at Ayr (7.2f) in August, despite showing signs of greenness, and unlucky not to follow up in similar event at Goodwood (1m) 18 days later, carried left in the final 1f. This is a tougher task but she's open to further progress. Solid novice performances, winning at Ayr then going close at Goodwood.
6th	3 6th (3) (66/1 -32%) Hala Abrar		66 66/1(-32%)																															(3) Hala Abrar 66/1, Overcame inexperience when winning 11-runner maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut last month, staying on to lead last ½f and well on top at the finish. Open to improvement but plenty more required in this company. Made a winning debut a Kempton but we've not rated that form highly.
7th	7 7th (7) (4.5/1 +10%) Romanova		4.5 4.5/1(+10%)																															(7) Romanova 4.5/1, Highly tried in listed race on debut and took a big step forward from that first experience when making all in maiden at Salisbury (7f) last month, drawing clear in the final 1f. Will go on improving so she can make her presence felt in this higher grade. Impressive at Salisbury last time; very useful prospect for her first-season trainer.

LTO Selection:

---

Karl Burke, who won the 2017 renewal of this race with the high-class Laurens, has another live chance with DARNATION, who impressed with the manner of her victory in the Group 3 Prestige Stakes last month. That piece of form sets the bar high and recent maiden winners Romanova and See The Fire both need to take significant steps forward if they are going to trouble the selection. Therefore, Newmarket novice winner Meribella, a half-sister to the dual Group 1 winner Poet's Voice, rates as a bigger threat.

DARNATION is improving well, having no problem with testing conditions when landing the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood last time, and she can continue her progress with the step up in trip to suit. Karl Burke's filly is taken to see off the challenge of Romanova, who won in good style at the second attempt, with See The Fire completing the shortlist.

Darnation and Hard To Resist are big players on form, while ROMANOVA and See The Fire look very promising.

Won 7-runner auction event (1/2) at Cork (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago, impressively. Should progress. Lading claims. Unlucky behind Nemonte on debut and won a Cork maiden easily after a break; big player.
2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 +33%) Jakajaro		4 4/1(+33%)																															(6) Jakajaro 4/1, Fairly useful colt. Winner at the Curragh in July. Good 1¼ lengths fourth of 11 to Duplantis in nursery at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 10/3) 25 days ago. Easy Curragh nursery winner and solid in defeat in similar company since; can run well.
3	7 3rd (7) (4/1 -14%) James's Delight		4 4/1(-14%)																															(7) James's Delight 4/1, Promising sort. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Fourth of 13 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 10/11) 19 days ago. Should have more to offer. Respected British runner. Newbury maiden winner in July was a bit below that form at Windsor since; needs more.

Career best when winning 9-runner nursery (5/1) at Down Royal (7f, good to firm) 6 days ago, pushed out. Won a Down Royal nursery over 7f last time; has plenty to find down in trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +0%) Bid For Chester		12 12/1(+0%)																															(3) Bid For Chester 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 7/2) 14 days ago, driven clear. Showed improved form to win a Navan nursery in fine style last time; more needed again.
6th	10 6th (10) (22/1 -38%) Ocean Baroque		22 22/1(-38%)																															(10) Ocean Baroque 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Navan in July. 9/4, 8 lengths sixth of 9 to Jakajaro in nursery at the Curragh (6f, soft) 54 days ago, finding little. Navan maiden winner was well behind Jakajaro in a Curragh nursery last time.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -39%) Duplantis		25 25/1(-39%)																															(4) Duplantis 25/1, Lightly-raced winner. 14/1, career best when winning 11-runner nursery at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 25 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Improved form to win a Curragh nursery last time but needs plenty more today.
8th	9 8th (9) (80/1 +0%) Martinelli		80 80/1(+0%)																															(9) Martinelli 80/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 18 in maiden (33/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut 76 days ago, slowly away. Open to improvement. Beaten 11l in a Curragh maiden in June and has to find lots of improvement.
9th	11 9th (11) (66/1 +18%) Truly Kodi		66 66/1(+18%)																															(11) Truly Kodi 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good, 66/1) on debut 75 days ago. Debut run behind City Of Troy not devoid of promise but this looks tough too.
10th	2 10th (2) (28/1 -27%) Beechwood Star		28 28/1(-27%)																															(2) Beechwood Star 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in nursery at Newcastle (7.1f, 12/1) 14 days ago. Trainer going well. Visored for 1st time. Has run well in defeat in three maidens but was poor in a nursery last time.
11th	13 11th (13) (100/1 -25%) Copie Conforme		100 100/1(-25%)																															(13) Copie Conforme 100/1, Foaled April 29. €18,000 yearling, Make Believe filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 1m winner Akwaan and 11.5f/12.5f winner Pidoyne. Half-sister to several winners over further and is likely to find this a bit sharp.

LTO Selection:

---

KING CUAN didn't live up to market expectations when fourth to Nemonte at the Curragh in May when both horses were making their debuts. Given plenty of time to mature by Paddy Twomey, the Tasleet colt bolted up in a maiden on quick ground at Cork last week and can reverse form with his Curragh conqueror. Nemonte, who recorded a second win at Roscommon last month, hasn't been able to land a blow in Group company including at Leopardstown last weekend and may be better suited by an extra furlong. James's Delight made a winning start at Newbury in July and wasn't beaten far when fourth in another novice contest at Windsor. Jakajaro has shown smart form in nurseries and was giving away lumps of weight when fourth to Duplantis at the Curragh last month.

A valuable contest. KING CUAN looked highly promising when effortlessly drawing clear of his rivals in a Cork auction event last week and could take a bit of stopping assuming he can cope with 2 outings in fairly quick succession. The Clive Cox-trained British raider James's Delight is another who is likely capable of better after only 2 starts and is second choice ahead of Jakajaro and Nemonte.

Given a break after being an unlucky loser behind Nemonte on debut, KING CUAN bolted up at Cork recently and will take stopping.

1	2 1st (2) (7/1 -40%) Navarre Express		7 7/1(-40%)																															(2) Navarre Express 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 6 in novice event at Windsor (10f, good, 11/1) 38 days ago. Opening mark seems high enough. Showed clear promise in all three qualifying races; moves up in trip for handicap debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/1 -22%) Byzantine Empire		11 11/1(-22%)																															(1) Byzantine Empire 11/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 50/1) 20 days ago. Useful over jumps but was just a modest fourth of seven in C&D handicap last month.

On the upgrade and can strike again. Clearcut AW winner when upped to 1m4f last month; should be fine back on turf.
4	3 4th (3) (2.5/1 +0%) Major Major		2.5 2.5/1(+0%)																															(3) Major Major 2.5/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (13/8) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Should give another good account in his bid for the hat-trick. Progressive 3yo who bids to complete a hat-trick after two wins last month; major player.
5th	5 5th (5) (3.33/1 +52%) Ancient Capital		3.33 3.33/1(+52%)																															(5) Ancient Capital 3.33/1, C&D winner. 9/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, soft) 43 days ago. Faster ground here a plus. C&D winner last year and ran big race on seasonal debut; ground the excuse last time.

LTO Selection:

---

MAJOR MAJOR is two from his last two since stepping up in trip, and he did it well when justifying favouritism at Windsor. The three-year-old now has to compete off a 4lb higher rating, which is unlikely to halt his progression. Last-time-out victor Different Tone is unexposed over this distance and has to be considered off a 4lb higher mark, while any market support for Navarre Express on her handicap bow should be noted.

DIFFERENT TONE improved for the longer trip when scoring at Lingfield and he looks capable of defying a 4 lb rise. Hat-trick seeking Major Major is a professional sort and looks the obvious threat.

Stoutly bred 3yo DIFFERENT TONE (nap) looked very well suited by the step up to 1m4f when finishing strongly to win readily last month.

1	3 1st (3) (5.5/1 +27%) Cardano		5.5 5.5/1(+27%)																															(3) Cardano 5.5/1, Useful handicapper for Ian Williams who stripped fitter for his return when runner-up at Windsor. Stamina stretched next time and remains potentially well handicapped back from a breathing op. 7yo who is hard to predict and has not won on turf since 2019; has had wind surgery.
2	5 2nd (5) (14/1 +36%) Red Flyer		14 14/1(+36%)																															(5) Red Flyer 14/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022 campaign but just respectable efforts at best this time around, running poorly in re-fitted headgear latest. On dangerous mark but last win was 16 months ago and he's finished in rear last twice.
3	8 3rd (8) (20/1 -67%) Western Stars		20 20/1(-67%)																															(8) Western Stars 20/1, 17/2, first run since leaving Ed Dunlop when second of 7 in seller at Goodwood (11.2f, soft) 18 days ago.

4	7 4th (7) (6/1 +76%) Sophosc		6 6/1(+76%)																															(7) Sophosc 6/1, Hasn't been operating at his best on the Flat so far this year and opposable. Five wins under both codes last year but he's been generally disappointing in 2023.
5th	4 5th (4) (2.75/1 +45%) Fulfilled		2.75 2.75/1(+45%)																															(4) Fulfilled 2.75/1, Progressive son of Ulysses who made it 2 wins for the campaign under a confident hands-and-heels ride at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) in June. Close third at Windsor next time before excuses at Beverley. Player. Two wins in June and he ran into a major improver in a Class 2 event latest; in the mix.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/1 +10%) Premiere Ligne		9 9/1(+10%)																															(6) Premiere Ligne 9/1, Dual winner in France and stepped up on first 2 starts for current yard when runner-up at Lingfield in June. Put in another good shift when fourth at Brighton (11.9f, good) but found short run of good form coming to a halt in first-time headgear here. Ex-French; looks interesting on his best form this season but he flopped over C&D latest.
7th	9 7th (9) (4.5/1 +18%) Meleri		4.5 4.5/1(+18%)																															(9) Meleri 4.5/1, Went close in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) and decent fourth at Goodwood since. This tougher, however. Went close at Newbury on penultimate run and was fair fourth at Goodwood latest; respected.
8th	1 8th (1) (4.5/1 -80%) The Whipmaster		4.5 4.5/1(-80%)																															(1) The Whipmaster 4.5/1, Improved last season, completing 4-timer in the first half of the year. Took advantage of a falling mark when resuming winning ways at Windsor in June and put a couple of underwhelming runs behind him when going close there 4 weeks ago. Merits consideration. Six-time turf winner who went close in a Racing League event at Windsor latest; key player.

LTO Selection:

---

A wide-open renewal but slight preference is for PRINCE ALEX, who has not been with Dominic Ffrench Davis very long and shaped like a win could be imminent when third last time. Fulfilled remains firmly on the improve and is likely to be in the thick of things once more. The Whipmaster was a touch unlucky not to win at Windsor a month ago and shouldn't be far away.

CARDANO has made a positive start for this stable and is worth another chance off a tempting mark having been stretched by the longer trip at Yarmouth last time. The Whipmaster went close at Windsor 4 weeks ago so is shortlisted, with Fulfilled and Prince Alex others to consider.

This can go to THE WHIPMASTER, who went close in a Racing League event at Windsor last time and is a big player if he can back that up.

1	6 1st (6) (4/1 -14%) Sumo Sam		4 4/1(-14%)																															(6) Sumo Sam 4/1, Nathaniel filly who seemed to excel herself when all-the-way winner of Lillie Langtry Stakes at Goodwood (14f, heavy) 6 weeks ago. That is the best form on offer and further rain will be in her favour. Has 3 lb penalty. Recorded a wide-margin success in the Lillie Langtry; big player if that form is repeated.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -41%) One Evening		12 12/1(-41%)																															(5) One Evening 12/1, Low-mileage filly who took another step forward when only just edged out in a listed race at York 3 weeks ago. Worth another go at this sort of trip and yard has excellent record in this (won 3 of the last 4 renewals). Went close in the Galtres; down this pack on ratings but may improve further.
3	9 3rd (9) (22/1 +12%) Lmay		22 22/1(+12%)																															(9) Lmay 22/1, Off the mark at the third attempt in a Newbury maiden in June. Better form in defeat when highly tried after, though at the same time her limitations were exposed. Her limitations, at least over 1m4f, are starting to look exposed.
4	1 4th (1) (7.5/1 -25%) Ching Shih		7.5 7.5/1(-25%)																															(1) Ching Shih 7.5/1, Useful filly who seemed to excel herself when second (clear of rest) to Arrest in the Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury (13.3f, good, 20/1) 26 days ago, the emphasis on stamina serving her well. Big shout if backing that up. Appeared to run well in the Geoffrey Freer; still unexposed beyond 1m4f; possibilities.
5th	7 5th (7) (8/1 -23%) Boogie Woogie		8 8/1(-23%)																															(7) Boogie Woogie 8/1, Useful filly who confirmed improvement when second in Group 3 at Chantilly. Heavy ground an obvious excuse at Cork since and better expected now. Bidding to give top yard first win in this race. Ballydoyle filly; disappointing last time but steadily progressive otherwise.
6th	8 6th (8) (8.5/1 +29%) Crack Of Light		8.5 8.5/1(+29%)																															(8) Crack Of Light 8.5/1, Kingman filly who has made steady progress since making a winning debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February, winning a listed race at France before good second in Group 2 there. Went close in Group 3 at Deauville since, shaping as if worth a try at this trip. Player. Solid record on home and French soil; close third in Deauville Group 3 last time.
7th	10 7th (10) (16/1 -45%) Shamwari		16 16/1(-45%)																															(10) Shamwari 16/1, Useful filly who was off the mark at the fourth attempt at Dundalk in July. Looked sure to be involved in the finish until coming up against a wall of horses in Prix Minerve at Deauville (12.4f, good) 30 days ago. Headgear on 1st time. May do better still. Gives the impression she'll be suited by this new trip and first-time headgear.
8th	4 8th (4) (4/1 +56%) Night Sparkle		4 4/1(+56%)																															(4) Night Sparkle 4/1, Progressive for previous yard, winning all 3 starts on the Flat, including class 3 handicap at Newmarket (14f, good) 26 days ago. This not a strong race for the grade so no surprise if she made a big impact starting out for Andrew Balding. Progressive this year for Michael O'Callaghan; not dismissed on stable debut.
9th	2 9th (2) (14/1 -17%) Divine Jewel		14 14/1(-17%)																															(2) Divine Jewel 14/1, Good third in a strong York listed event on return before going down narrowly to an unexposed 3-y-o in Leopardstown Group 3. Quickly back on track when runner-up in listed race at Chester and in the mix back against own sex. Largely consistent but faces a harder task upped to Group 2 level.
10th	3 10th (3) (5/1 +9%) Golden Lyra		5 5/1(+9%)																															(3) Golden Lyra 5/1, Useful filly who ended last term with emphatic success in listed race (9.9f, heavy) at Saint-Cloud. Back to that level when 1½ lengths fourth of 10 in Prix de Pomone (Group 2) at Deauville (12.4f, soft) 26 days ago, staying on well. Considered up in trip. Major player on peak RPRs, which have been achieved on French soil.

John and Thady Gosden have been involved with four of the last eight winners of this race and the yard boasts a strong hand again, as the improving One Evening tackles the next stage of her development. However, this is a step up in class and trip for the daughter of Galileo and it may pay to stick with proven stayer SUMO SAM, whose surprise Group 2 Lillie Langtry romp at Goodwood was a highly impressive display. Ching Shih and Boogie Woogie are also considered.

Not a strong renewal but very much a wide-open one. CHING SHIH looked suited by the step up in trip when runner-up to a smart 3-y-o colt in the Geoffrey Freer at Newbury and shades the vote back against her own sex. Sumo Sam is another who seemingly showed much-improved form when a wide-margin winner (in the mud) of the Lillie Langtry at Goodwood and further rain will enhance her claims, while One Evening his high on the shortlist given her yard's excellent record in this.

An open-looking Park Hill may go to CHING SHIH. Second choice is Sumo Sam, ahead of Golden Lyra.

1	10 1st (10) (4/1 +53%) Kendall Roy		4 4/1(+53%)																															(10) Kendall Roy 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at Cork (5f, heavy) 27 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Chance is not obvious but the switch to handicaps and addition of a tongue-tie could help.
2	6 2nd (6) (8.5/1 +74%) Milliethemollie		8.5 8.5/1(+74%)																															(6) Milliethemollie 8.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1, fourth of 5 in maiden at Ayr (5.5f, soft) 45 days ago. Hood on 1st time, tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Struggled on soft ground at Ayr last time, previous C&D run was quite encouraging.
3	11 3rd (11) (9/1 +64%) Oak Allye		9 9/1(+64%)																															(11) Oak Allye 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in nursery at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft, 17/2) 36 days ago. Risky proposition at present. First two nursery attempts at Cork and Sligo offer no encouragement, 3lb out of handicap.
4	3 4th (3) (4.5/1 +55%) Si Senior		4.5 4.5/1(+55%)																															(3) Si Senior 4.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Sligo in August. Seventh of 8 in nursery at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 10/3) 14 days ago. Ruined her chance at Navan by hanging left, looked useful when winning a maiden at Slgo.
5th	1 5th (1) (2.5/1 +17%) Buddy Batt		2.5 2.5/1(+17%)																															(1) Buddy Batt 2.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 11/2, career best when winning 8-runner maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Has to be taken seriously. Beat a shorter-priced stablemate in a maiden at Bellewstown, opening mark looks reasonable.
6th	8 6th (8) (5.5/1 +0%) Veracidad		5.5 5.5/1(+0%)																															(8) Veracidad 5.5/1, Visored for 1st time, creditable third of 8 in nursery (10/1) at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Placed in two of her three nursery outings, 3/4l behind Glamorously when third at Navan.
7th	5 7th (5) (22/1 +33%) Romford		22 22/1(+33%)																															(5) Romford 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in minor event at Cork (6f, good to firm, 66/1) 8 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Debut at Navan in May the best of his four runs, may benefit from return to shorter trip.
8th	7 8th (7) (14/1 -100%) Little Miss Peppi		14 14/1(-100%)																															(7) Little Miss Peppi 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 4½ lengths fifth of 8 to Buddy Batt in maiden (11/1) at Bellewstown (5f, good) 16 days ago. Booking of Keane a plus. Makes handicap debut. Colin Keane is a noteworthy booking but not easy to detect winning potential.
9th	9 9th (9) (33/1 +0%) Go On Go On Uhavit		33 33/1(+0%)																															(9) Go On Go On Uhavit 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Has competed over three different trips, 6f run at Dundalk arguably her best display.
10th	2 10th (2) (18/1 -13%) Wrestling Revenue		18 18/1(-13%)																															(2) Wrestling Revenue 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in maiden at Cork (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 8 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Two ordinary runs but worth considering on the basis of a good run over 6f at this venue.

LTO Selection:

BUDDY BATT, from a useful sprinting family, led home a 1-2-4 for the Bunyan stable in a Bellewstown maiden over this trip last month. He goes well for 7lb claimer Dean Curran and can make a successful transition to handicap company. Glamorously ran well in a C&D maiden in July and had Veracidad back in third when runner-up in a nursery over a bit further at Navan. She was no match for the winner who lines up in the preceding sales race but may be suited by the return to the minimum distance. Si Senior didn't give her running last time when well behind Glamorously but if returning to the form of her maiden win at Sligo would be a major player while Milliethemollie ran well over C&D on her second start and may be able to make an impact with headgear fitted for her handicap bow.

BUDDY BATT showed big improvement when off the mark in a Bellewstown maiden and he's taken to follow up off what looks a handy opening mark. Glamorously and Veracidad can place again.

With Dean Curran taking off 7lb BUDDY BATT has good prospects of adding to his Bellewstown maiden win.

2	5 2nd (5) (1.25/1 +23%) Chequers Court		1.25 1.25/1(+23%)																															(5) Chequers Court 1.25/1, Promising individual. Fourth of 13 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good, 10/1) on debut 26 days ago, nearest finish. Likely to improve. Leading claims. Kept on for fourth of 13 in good Newbury maiden (7f) last month; leading contender here.
3	9 3rd (9) (9/1 -13%) Tamfana		9 9/1(-13%)																															(9) Tamfana 9/1, €20,000 Soldier Hollow filly. Dam made frame in sole start at 1m in France. Most from the stable are better for a run but the betting should provide more clues. 20,000 yearling; dam fourth 1m 2yo in France only start; yard not prolific with newcomers.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 +42%) Sir Gabrial		7 7/1(+42%)																															(2) Sir Gabrial 7/1, Changed hands for only 3,200 gns earlier this year but this Havana Grey colt is in good hands and needs a betting check. Half-brother to an Italian 1m winner; stable's 2yos always respected.
5th	4 5th (4) (2/1 +20%) Validated		2 2/1(+20%)																															(4) Validated 2/1, Promising sort. 11/4, second of 11 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good) 18 days ago. Open to further progress and bold bid looks assured. Placed over 7f on both starts last month and looks good enough to win a race like this.
6th	6 6th (6) (40/1 +0%) Daylight Ransom		40 40/1(+0%)																															(6) Daylight Ransom 40/1, 80/1, fifth of 13 in maiden at Chepstow (7f, good) on debut 17 days ago. Made reasonably encouraging debut at Chepstow but needs a good step forward here.
7th	3 7th (3) (100/1 -100%) Sunny Corner		100 100/1(-100%)																															(3) Sunny Corner 100/1, 80/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Salisbury (6f, good, 80/1) on debut 47 days ago. Up in trip. Always behind when 80-1 for Salisbury debut in July (6f).
8th	7 8th (7) (14/1 +44%) Devious Devan		14 14/1(+44%)																															(7) Devious Devan 14/1, €17,000 2-y-o. Profitable half-brother to 3 winners, including 6f-1m winner Mighty Power and 1m winner Seven Hills. Dam untrustworthy 7f winner. Bought for 17,000euros at a breeze-up in May; half-brother to a fairly useful 6f/1m winner.

LTO Selection:

CHEQUERS COURT made a pleasing start to his career when running into a modest fourth over 7f at Newbury, and he looks primed to offer a bold bid. Richard Hannon's charge is fancied to make his presence felt in these calmer waters and this looks a good chance to shed the maiden tag. Validated is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection after successive placed efforts, while Green Sigma is respected on debut.

CHEQUERS COURT made an encouraging start to his career at Newbury last month and is narrowly preferred to Sir Mark Prescott's Validated in what may develop into a straight fight between the pair unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding one or more of the newcomers.

Richard Hannon's CHEQUERS COURT kept on nicely for fourth in a good Newbury maiden last month and ought to build on that performance.

Expected to be bang there. Won eased down over C&D last time and was as good as ever with that success; big player.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 +0%) Arenas Del Tiempo		5 5/1(+0%)																															(2) Arenas Del Tiempo 5/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (9f, good to soft, 7/2). Off 121 days. Free-going sort. On long losing run and she's been disappointing in last two runs; others preferred.

Won off reduced mark at Yarmouth in July but he's not gone on from that; others preferred.
4	4 4th (4) (4.5/1 -64%) Mrembo		4.5 4.5/1(-64%)																															(4) Mrembo 4.5/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Won 12-runner handicap (7/4) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Carries penalty. Respected in hat-trick bid. 10lb higher under a penalty for her latest win but she's respected in her hat-trick bid.
5th	7 5th (7) (7/1 +30%) Dotties Star		7 7/1(+30%)																															(7) Dotties Star 7/1, Produced a laboured effort when fourth of 5 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 42 days ago. Nine-race maiden who flashed his tail when fourth here last time; needs to find more.
6th	8 6th (8) (14/1 +36%) The Conqueror		14 14/1(+36%)																															(8) The Conqueror 14/1, Continues out of sorts, sixth of 8 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 14 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Three wins in Germany but he's yet to be placed after seven runs in Britain; opposable.
7th	3 7th (3) (40/1 -186%) Millions Memories		40 40/1(-186%)																															(3) Millions Memories 40/1, Latest win at Salisbury in June. Last of 7 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good to firm, 14/1) 79 days ago. Triple turf winner but he's not easy to predict and needs to bounce back after a break.
8th	1 8th (1) (9/1 +10%) Semser		9 9/1(+10%)																															(1) Semser 9/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in May. 12/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 51 days ago, slowly away. Temperament now under suspicion. Four-time AW winner but he's 0-8 on turf and has been well below form in last two runs.

LTO Selection:

---

MREMBO arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Bath and Windsor recently and she can add to her winning sequence here. Jonathan Portman's charge is 10lb higher than last time but the in-form filly should not be underestimated. Lethal Touch is the biggest danger after a good win over C&D last month and she appears likely to be thereabouts once again, while Lost In Time also deserves a closer look.

LETHAL TOUCH looked better than ever when scoring over C&D last month and should make another bold bid. Mrembo is the obvious threat as she goes for the hat-trick, with C&D winner Arenas del Tiempo best of the others.

Hat-trick seeker Mrembo is respected but preference is for LETHAL TOUCH, who was as good as ever with her win over C&D last time.

1	7 1st (7) (9/1 +10%) Maximilian Caesar		9 9/1(+10%)																															(7) Maximilian Caesar 9/1, Wide-margin winner over 1m here on return and has produced creditable second-placed efforts on his last 2 outings, very much bumping into one tackling this trip for the first time at Newbury (10f, good) 26 days ago. Place claims again. Won here in May; creditable second the last twice; could go well again.
2	5 2nd (5) (4.5/1 +50%) Westerton		4.5 4.5/1(+50%)																															(5) Westerton 4.5/1, Cemented positive start in handicaps when off the mark in a Sandown maiden (10f) in June and shaped as if still in good heart when fifth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (12f, heavy, 7/2) 43 days ago, just finding the test too much in stamina-sapping conditions. Not ruled out. Has form figures of 2213 over 1m2f; solid claims back down in distance.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 +14%) Kingfisher King		3 3/1(+14%)																															(2) Kingfisher King 3/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 11-runner minor event at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm, 11/8) in May and having been gelded, took a big step forward when runner-up to a useful rival at Hamilton last month. Enters handicaps from fair-looking mark and should have more to offer. Solid record at novice level; looks the type to improve further and do well in handicaps.
4	8 4th (8) (4/1 +33%) Iron Lion		4 4/1(+33%)																															(8) Iron Lion 4/1, Off the mark at the fifth attempt when winning 9-runner novice at this C&D (heavy) 40 days ago, doing better ridden with more restraint. Change of tactics unlocked some improvement then and it's not out of the question that he has more to offer. Recorded a smooth 3l success in C&D novice event last month; more to come; appealing.
5th	3 5th (3) (6/1 -33%) Sisyphus Strength		6 6/1(-33%)																															(3) Sisyphus Strength 6/1, Proved to have far too many gears for her rivals when scoring in comfortable fashion at Newmarket in July and progressed again when beaten only a neck at York's Ebor Festival last month. Looks sure to go well again. Close second at York Ebor festival last time; open to further progress over 1m2f.
6th	4 6th (4) (12/1 +0%) Obelix		12 12/1(+0%)																															(4) Obelix 12/1, Winner at Newcastle on final start at 2 yrs and produced his best effort when runner-up in a 3-y-o heritage handicap at Newmarket (1¼m, good) in July. Ran respectably when fifth at York last time and holds place claims with blinkers now applied. Chance partly depends on how he responds to change of headgear.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 -100%) Wildfell		14 14/1(-100%)																															(9) Wildfell 14/1, Highly progressive since joining this stable from Kevin Ryan, completing the 4-timer over 1m here in June. Improved further when a close second in 17-runner event at Goodwood (8f, soft, 28/1) 42 days ago and he's not discounted if coping with the longer trip. Great record in 7f/1m handicaps for current yard; new trip is the question mark.
8th	1 8th (1) (6/1 -71%) If Not Now		6 6/1(-71%)																															(1) If Not Now 6/1, Successful sole start at 2 yrs and stepped up on reappearance effort when landing a 3-runner Salisbury handicap (1¼m, good to soft) with minimum fuss. Creditable fifth in the German Derby upped to 1½m at Hamburg last time and he's respected back down in trip here. 2-3 on home soil; respectable fifth in the German Derby; should have more to offer.

LTO Selection:

---

Having finished a respectable fifth in the German Derby when last seen, If Not Now commands respect, while Obelix makes plenty of appeal for John and Thady Gosden and, given that yard's stellar recent strike-rate in this race, the son of Sea The Stars goes on the shortlist. However, SISYPHUS STRENGTH, a game second in a heritage handicap at York's Ebor meeting, arguably arrives on the back of her best effort yet and her proven effectiveness over this trip earns her the vote.

Handicap newcomer KINGFISHER KING travelled like the best horse in the contest when a close second at Hamilton last time, pulling well clear with a useful rival, and he's fancied to confirm that potential in a particularly interesting contest. Sisyphus Strength came close to supplementing her Newmarket win at York and the filly perhaps rates as the main danger, with Burglar also a leading player having seemingly reacted positively to the fitting of a hood last time.

Off a low weight, IRON LION (nap) could well follow up his C&D novice success. Kingfisher King is second choice.

Third behind the same horse in a Gowran maiden and Curragh nursery, should go close.

Cheekpieces tried now after Killarney third, a bit to find with runner-up Basilah Bear.
8th	4 8th (4) (7/1 -27%) Guest Star		7 7/1(-27%)																															(4) Guest Star 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1 and blinkered for 1st time, good neck second of 10 to Nika Pika in maiden at Navan (8f, good to soft) 14 days ago, slowly away. Enters calculations. Made little impact over 6f on his nursery debut, second over 1m last time but in a claimer.
9th	10 9th (10) (66/1 -32%) Francoise Ardy		66 66/1(-32%)																															(10) Francoise Ardy 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, sixth of 8 in nursery at Killarney (8.1f, good) 21 days ago. Has work to do. Remote sixth in a nursery at Killarney last time, well held by runner-up Basilah Bear.
10th	8 10th (8) (22/1 +12%) Kathaniel		22 22/1(+12%)																															(8) Kathaniel 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good) 8 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Makes handicap debut. Beaten in excess of 10l in all three runs in maidens, others have more obvious claims.
11th	5 11th (5) (11/1 -175%) Thia		11 11/1(-175%)																															(5) Thia 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 11 in maiden (12/1) at Roscommon (7.2f, good), unable to sustain effort. Off 105 days. Makes handicap debut. Third of five in a maiden at the Curragh in April, gelded since well beaten at Roscommon.
12th	13 12th (13) (40/1 +39%) Rogerwaswrong		40 40/1(+39%)																															(13) Rogerwaswrong 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in nursery (28/1) at Down Royal (7f, good to firm) 6 days ago, slowly away. Visored for 1st time. Looked in need of further when running over 7f in his first nursery, 4lb out of handicap.
13th	2 13th (2) (9/1 -29%) Nika Pika		9 9/1(-29%)																															(2) Nika Pika 9/1, Career best when winning 10-runner maiden (10/1) at Navan (8f, good to soft) 14 days ago by neck from Guest Star, just holding on. Overcame trouble in running to beat Guest Star in a claimer, may uphold that form now.

Most of these are open to plenty of improvement on just their first or second starts in handicap company and a chance is taken with TATUM. Noel Meade's daughter of Postponed will probably be one for middle distances next term and will appreciate stepping up to this stiff mile having kept on steadily into fifth in a Galway festival maiden. In-form Jamie Powell's claim leaves her with a nice light weight. Shane Foley sticks with Navan runner-up Guest Star who renews rivalry with Nika Pika but Jessica Harrington's other runner, Pomeriggio, is also of interest in first-time headgear. She stayed on for third at Roscommon and is stoutly bred on the damside so may improve for this longer distance. Sun Never Sets, also fitted with cheekpieces, is another that looks ready for a mile having finished well over 7f when third in a Curragh nursery.

The return to this trip looks a good thing where SUN NEVER SETS is concerned after she kept on into third behind the progressive Asian Daze at the Curragh recently. The addition of cheekpieces may also help eke out a bit more and she gets the nod ahead of Guest Star, who was just touched off by Nika Pika at Navan a fortnight ago and enjoys a healthy pull at the weights with that rival here. Basilah Bear and Enthralling are others with claims in what looks a competitive nursery.

This looks very open. SUN NEVER SETS gets a hopeful vote to step up after a couple of third placings

1	6 1st (6) (12/1 -71%) Silver Leaf		12 12/1(-71%)																															(6) Silver Leaf 12/1, Ribchester filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 5f winner Seneca Chief and 8.6f winner Mandria. Worth a second look in the betting. Out of a Listed-placed 6f 2yo winner; stable not prolific with newcomers.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 +56%) Minka		2 2/1(+56%)																															(3) Minka 2/1, 13/2, fifth of 10 in maiden (13/2) at Ayr (6f, good to firm) on debut 28 days ago, nearest finish. Up in trip. Should have more to offer. Sister to a Group 3 sprint winner; made just a mildly encouraging debut but can improve.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.5/1 -100%) Marirah		2.5 2.5/1(-100%)																															(2) Marirah 2.5/1, Kingman filly. Closely related to 1m winner Morrooj and half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Bayroot. Of obvious interest on debut for her leading stable. Nicely bred filly who represents a top Newmarket stable; needs to be taken very seriously.
4	1 4th (1) (300/1 -500%) Withy Rock		300 300/1(-500%)																															(1) Withy Rock 300/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on first time. Well beaten on 2yo debut and when returning from long absence last month; headgear on.
5th	5 5th (5) (2/1 +20%) Naturelle		2 2/1(+20%)																															(5) Naturelle 2/1, Promising type. Hooded, second of 10 in maiden at Chepstow (7f, good to firm, 10/1) on debut 21 days ago. Likely to improve. No match for short odds winner when second at Chepstow but that was still a promising run.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 -56%) Teddy's Dawn		14 14/1(-56%)																															(7) Teddy's Dawn 14/1, Twice-raced filly. Modest form when fifth of 10 in novice at Southwell (7f, 18/1) 8 days ago. Plenty more will be needed. Bettered debut run when fifth at Southwell recently but much more needed again here.

LTO Selection:

This race seems to revolve around the performance of debutant MARIRAH, who arrives here for the in-form Roger Varian stable and is taken to get off the mark at the first time of asking. This well-bred daughter of Kingman is related to plenty of winners who have succeeded at this trip and she is likely to offer a bold bid. Naturelle rates as the biggest danger after a very pleasing start to her career when second over 7f at Chepstow, while Minka completes the shortlist.

MUBHIJAH has had a few chances but the form she's achieved when runner-up on her last 3 outings should be good enough to win a race like this and she can make a successful start for new trainer Ed Walker. A strong market move for her debuting former stablemate Marirah would make her a potential big threat. Chepstow second Naturelle should also get involved.

Roger Varian could provide the answer with his well-bred newcomer MARIRAH. Chepstow runner-up Naturelle is next on the list.

1	3 1st (3) (5/1 +44%) Feyha		5 5/1(+44%)																															(3) Feyha 5/1, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Back up in trip. Something to find on form. No impact in five runs for this yard and was well held off this mark last time.
2	4 2nd (4) (2.5/1 +25%) Ectocross		2.5 2.5/1(+25%)																															(4) Ectocross 2.5/1, Winner over 10f here in July and produced another sound effort at this track when second of 5 over that same trip 56 days ago, running on. Not taken lightly. Win and good second over 1m2f here last twice and he's respected back up in trip.
3	9 3rd (9) (2.5/1 +64%) Chinthurst		2.5 2.5/1(+64%)																															(9) Chinthurst 2.5/1, In frame at Windsor and Brighton on his first 2 outings this season and shaped as if stripping fitter for the run after a 4-month break when eighth of 13 in handicap at the former course (10f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Up in trip. Inconsistent seven-race maiden who was well held at Windsor last week; others preferred.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 +9%) Corporate Raider		10 10/1(+9%)																															(6) Corporate Raider 10/1, Winner at Yarmouth in June. 9/1, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to firm) 22 days ago, well positioned. Up in trip. Capable of giving another good account but may prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. Only 1lb higher than for his win but he's now 1-15 and is untried at this trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (4/1 -45%) Sapristi		4 4/1(-45%)																															(2) Sapristi 4/1, Winner at Fairyhouse in June. 6/1, first run since leaving John S. O'Donoghue when good second of 6 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Shortlist material. Good second at Windsor on recent stable debut and has claims if she can back that up.
6th	7 6th (7) (40/1 -21%) Carouselle		40 40/1(-21%)																															(7) Carouselle 40/1, Has gone backwards from a mildly promising debut at Brighton last year and has failed to beat a rival in 2 starts in handicaps, so looks very tricky to fancy. Regressive maiden who has finished tailed off in both her handicaps; lots to prove.
7th	1 7th (1) (10/1 -11%) Aurora Charm		10 10/1(-11%)																															(1) Aurora Charm 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Roger Varian when fourth of 6 in handicap at Sandown (9f, heavy, 18/1) 43 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Needs a couple of these to falter. Well held in four runs for two yards and she needs improvement at this new trip.
8th	8 8th (8) (80/1 -21%) Estehwadh		80 80/1(-21%)																															(8) Estehwadh 80/1, Arrives on the back of heavy defeats (finished last) at Brighton and Chepstow, so makes little appeal stepping up significantly in trip. Out of sorts in last two runs and has plenty to prove in an experiment at this trip.

LTO Selection:

---

ANTICIPATING made a pleasing start to her handicap career when running on well into fourth over an extended 1m3f at Windsor on her latest outing and she gets the nod. Ectocross is feared most after finishing second over 1m2f at this venue last time, although he was wayward in the closing stages that day, while Sapristi could also have a say.

ANTICIPATING showed improved form despite looking in need of a stronger gallop when fourth at Windsor last month, and with several rivals who can go forward in opposition here, she should get a more favourable set-up and is worth chancing to make her second handicap start a winning one. Sapristi ran well on her first outing for Tom Clover last time and also makes plenty of appeal, as does Ectocross, who has ran well over shorter trips here on his last 2 outings.

The ex-Irish SAPRISTI (nap) made a good start for her new yard when runner-up at Windsor and is a big player if she can back that up.

1	5 1st (5) (7.5/1 -15%) In The Breeze		7.5 7.5/1(-15%)																															(5) In The Breeze 7.5/1, Posted best effort thus far when winning 11-runner handicap at Haydock (10.2f, heavy) 39 days ago, going clear. 6 lb higher now but another bold bid anticipated. Arrives on the up, stylish Haydock winner latest; not taken lightly despite a 6lb rise.
2	10 2nd (10) (7/1 +13%) Cavern Club		7 7/1(+13%)																															(10) Cavern Club 7/1, Returned to winning ways when taking 8-runner handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm, 3/1) 20 days ago. Finds himself in a stronger event now but can't be ruled out. Bounced back to winning ways in Newmarket handicap 20 days ago; up 4lb; not ruled out.
3	4 3rd (4) (18/1 -50%) Matchless		18 18/1(-50%)																															(4) Matchless 18/1, C&D winner on return in May but been disappointing in more recent starts and makes limited appeal. Cheekpieces back on. C&D winner in May but his more recent form is far less encouraging; more is needed.
4	6 4th (6) (5.5/1 +8%) Vaguely Royal		5.5 5.5/1(+8%)																															(6) Vaguely Royal 5.5/1, Lightly-raced gelding who got off the mark over C&D in June. Shaped better than distance beaten when seventh in Melrose (13.9f, good to firm) at York latest and return to shorter trip looks a good move. C&D winner; gelded before creditable York seventh last time; considered.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 +50%) Crystal Delight		9 9/1(+50%)																															(3) Crystal Delight 9/1, Confirmed returned to form when solid sixth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good, 18/1) 18 days ago but is still to add to his success on AW last December. Winless this term but he arrives in decent nick; in the mix eased 1lb.
6th	9 6th (9) (2.75/1 +39%) El Jasor		2.75 2.75/1(+39%)																															(9) El Jasor 2.75/1, Put disappointing York run behind him when landing 13-runner handicap at Newbury (12f, good) last month. 6 lb higher now but remains low mileage. Cheekpieces on first time. Won Newbury handicap latest; sort to do better still so merits serious consideration.
7th	7 7th (7) (7/1 -8%) Rogue Sea		7 7/1(-8%)																															(7) Rogue Sea 7/1, Upped form a notch when taking Ripon minor event in June but not progressed in handicaps since and has something to prove at present. Dual 1m2f novice winner but he's failed to kick on since sent handicapping; more required.
8th	1 8th (1) (33/1 -65%) Turntable		33 33/1(-65%)																															(1) Turntable 33/1, Ended time with Chris Wall with 2 wins at Newmarket (9f/1¼m) but hasn't been able to get competitive in a trio of outings for this yard, blowing the start the last twice. Best watched for now. Course scorer but yet to fire in three runs for his current yard; lots more is required.
9th	2 9th (2) (4.5/1 +25%) City Streak		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(2) City Streak 4.5/1, Two wins from 5 runs this season, posting career best when taking 7-runner handicap at Ascot (12f, good to soft, 6/1) latest. More needed up 4 lb here but couldn't rule out all the same. Gained his second success of 2023 at Ascot 48 days ago; up 4lb but not discounted.

LTO Selection:

---

EL JASOR improved for the step up to this distance when scoring narrowly at Newbury last month and, with more improvement expected, he can follow up off a 6lb higher mark. Similar comments apply to City Streak, who did it well at Ascot last time out, while In The Breeze is another to consider on the back of scoring in two of his last three starts.

HARAPPAN has looked a good prospect in a couple of outings for Iain Jardine and makes plenty of appeal on his switch to handicapping. El Jasor and In The Breeze rate the principal dangers.

The vote goes to HARAPPAN who looks open to a fair bit more progress now going into handicaps and can complete a quick hat-trick here

Eighth of 16 in maiden (22/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut 32 days ago, slowly away. Should do better in time. Form of the 6f Curragh maiden in which he finished in mid-field appears quite solid.

Fifth of 15 in maiden (66/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut 33 days ago, not knocked about. Beaten 14l when fifth on debut over 6f at the Curragh so will have to raise his game.
6th	14 6th (14) (80/1 +0%) Suilleabhain		80 80/1(+0%)																															(14) Suilleabhain 80/1, Once-raced colt. Eleventh of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 50/1) on debut 26 days ago. 50-1, never in contention first time out at the Curragh last month, safe to rule out.
7th	10 7th (10) (16/1 -78%) Take Me To Church		16 16/1(-78%)																															(10) Take Me To Church 16/1, Promising sort.

8th	3 8th (3) (40/1 +20%) Edvard Grieg		40 40/1(+20%)																															(3) Edvard Grieg 40/1, Once-raced gelding. Twelfth of 18 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft, 16/1) on debut 56 days ago. Needs to find plenty of improvement from an initial outing at Leopardstown in July.

BRIGHT STRIPES ran a cracker in the valuable Ballyhane Stakes here last month and could prove hard to beat now back in maiden company. The Starsspangledbanner colt ran on strongly close home when third to Golden Trick in the E300,000 contest and a repeat of that performance should be enough to collect now. Byzantine Empress has been knocking on the door but has a mark of 68 and it would be disappointing if Bright Stripes couldn't account for her despite giving away half a stone. Ocean Odyssey could be a potential improver in the field. He went to post favourite on his debut at Leopardstown but after running freely early found trouble in running down the straight before finishing fifth to Making Time. He's capable of stepping forward from that.

While several of these are open to improvement, BRIGHT STRIPES nevertheless stands out on the back his fine effort in a valuable 6f sales race here last month. This step up in trip will be in his favour and he will surely prove hard to beat. Take Me To Church and Ocean Odyssey, both of whom shaped well on their respective debuts at Cork and Leopardstown, are feared most in that order of preference, while Special Angel may also build on the promise she showed at Dundalk.

Best of the home team when third in a valuable sales race here last month, BRIGHT STRIPES will be hard to beat in this company

6th	13 6th (13) (11/1 +56%) Centerstage		11 11/1(+56%)																															(13) Centerstage 11/1, Poor form. Below form seventh of 12 in classified event at Wolverhampton (7f) 31 days ago. 11-race maiden; promise at up to 1m2f this summer; drop to 6f asks a different question.
7th	11 7th (11) (11/1 +78%) Enchanted Night		11 11/1(+78%)																															(11) Enchanted Night 11/1, Unreliable sort. One win from 37 Flat runs. Winner at Yarmouth in July. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6f, 50/1) 17 days ago. Reliable at a low level but she's got a poor strike-rate and is drawn widest.
8th	8 8th (8) (40/1 -21%) Poseidon Prince		40 40/1(-21%)																															(8) Poseidon Prince 40/1, Runner-up at 2 but yet to threaten for new yard in 2022. 28/1, fifth of 8 in maiden at Lingfield (5f, AW) 15 days ago. Struggled for new yard this season but his handicap mark is in freefall.
9th	10 9th (10) (4/1 +60%) Starjik		4 4/1(+60%)																															(10) Starjik 4/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 10 in C&D handicap (22/1) 21 days ago. Claims if in similar form. Placed in 2 of his 3 runs for this yard, over C&D latest; same mark today and holds claims.

MOSTALLIM has won over this course and distance before and it would be no surprise to see him go well in a race of this nature. There may be more to come from Rhythmic Acclaim, who was sent off favourite here last time but she was slowly away on that occasion and could bounce back. However, Brilliant Blue has been running well enough in defeat of late and may prove to be the biggest danger.

MOSTALLIM wasn't at his best when racing without his usual headgear here last time but blinkers are back on now and he's selected to land a second C&D win of the year. Northern raider Starjik has a first, second and third to show from his 3 visits here so he's a must for the shortlist. Big Time Maybe could also have a say if a lesser run last time is forgiven.

There are surely races to be won with RHYHTMIC ACCLAIM off this mark and she's given another chance at this modest level.

1	5 1st (5) (1.5/1 +40%) Honeymooner		1.5 1.5/1(+40%)																															(5) Honeymooner 1.5/1, Made all at Windsor (1m) in July and relished the step up to this trip when back to winning ways at Bath a fortnight ago. Did that very easily so a 6 lb rise looks more than fair. Won very stylishly when upped to 1m2f last time; 6lb rise could arguably have been harsher.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +67%) Croeso Cymraeg		4 4/1(+67%)																															(2) Croeso Cymraeg 4/1, Latest win at Salisbury in July. 16/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Newbury (1½m, good) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Veteran who looked as good as ever when winning in July; disappointed last time, though.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.25/1 +75%) Monteria		2.25 2.25/1(+75%)																															(4) Monteria 2.25/1, Winner at Windsor in May. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Bath (1¼m, good to firm) 22 days ago, very slowly away. Stayed on from poor position for third last month but others here are more persuasive.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 +44%) Heat Of The Moment		5 5/1(+44%)																															(1) Heat Of The Moment 5/1, Last of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Thirsk (7f, heavy) 40 days ago. Remains to be seen whether this significant step up in trip helps her to stage a revival. Disappointing filly; struggled over 7f last month; goes beyond 1m for first time here.

LTO Selection:

FINEST LEADER remains on a large upward curve having been narrowly beaten by another progressive rival at Kempton last week. He's due to go up another 4lb so this looks a solid opportunity to gain a fourth win of the season. Honeymooner is another youngster on the improve and is likely to ask plenty of questions of the selection. The step up in trip may see Heat Of The Moment in a better light too.

Two well-handicapped 3-y-os clash here. FINEST LEADER improved again when only narrowly denied by a fellow improver (pair 7 lengths clear) at Kempton last week and is preferred to Honeymooner, who looks to have got off lightly with just a 6lb rise for her comfortable Bath success.

It's hard to oppose FINEST LEADER, who has made rapid progress in recent months and is 4lb well in after a big run in defeat last week.

1	4 1st (4) (5.5/1 -10%) New Heights		5.5 5.5/1(-10%)																															(4) New Heights 5.5/1, 4/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 56 days ago. Player if headgear has same positive effect. Made it 2-2 here when landing a C&D handicap in July; big player again after a short break.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 +18%) Chips And Rice		9 9/1(+18%)																															(2) Chips And Rice 9/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Brighton in July. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (9f, good, 9/1) 25 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Won at Brighton in July but has taken two backward steps since; needs to get back on track.

4	1 4th (1) (6/1 -9%) Bowland Park		6 6/1(-9%)																															(1) Bowland Park 6/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 11/4, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. On long losing run and he didn't shine when favourite over C&D latest; headgear now added.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 +9%) Shoot To Kill		20 20/1(+9%)																															(3) Shoot To Kill 20/1, Latest win at Brighton in August. Fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (7f, good, 7/1) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Sprung a 40-1 surprise at Brighton last month but he didn't match that form here last time.
6th	10 6th (10) (22/1 -120%) Bobby Dassler		22 22/1(-120%)																															(10) Bobby Dassler 22/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, good fourth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D (good) 17 days ago, going off too hard. First run for yard after leaving Tom Ward. Not taken lightly. On winning mark and has claims if he's allowed to dictate on his stable dictate.
7th	8 7th (8) (18/1 +18%) Trais Fluors		18 18/1(+18%)																															(8) Trais Fluors 18/1, Latest win at Goodwood in June. Seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good, 16/1) 17 days ago. Won at Goodwood in June but he's not hit the same level since; down the list.

Dual course winner who finished well for a close third over C&D last time; respected.

Back up in trip. On dangerous mark and was an eyecatcher over 7f here last time; in the mix back up in trip.
10th	7 10th (7) (8/1 +20%) Grey Fox		8 8/1(+20%)																															(7) Grey Fox 8/1, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 15/2) 19 days ago, not ideally placed. Has to be taken seriously. Creditable efforts last twice and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style.
11th	6 11th (6) (6.5/1 -18%) Dion Baker		6.5 6.5/1(-18%)																															(6) Dion Baker 6.5/1, Winner at Yarmouth in July. 4/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 18 days ago, clear of rest. Enters calculations. Has been knocking on the door in his last two starts and another bold bid is expected.
12th	9 12th (9) (40/1 +0%) Whirlwind		40 40/1(+0%)																															(9) Whirlwind 40/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm, 16/1), slowly away. Off 91 days. Still lightly raced but he needs a transformation back in trip after wind surgery.

The ability to handle this unique track often counts for plenty, and that could see NEW HEIGHTS record back-to-back course and distance victories. The daughter of Intello bounced back to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 56 days ago and a subsequent 3lb rise looks more than fair. Dion Baker can follow the selection home ahead of the Daniel and Claire Kubler-trained Bowland Park.

DION BAKER arrives on the back of a couple of narrow defeats at Brighton/Yarmouth and this track should suit his style. Grey Fox has been shaping well of late so is another to consider along with New Heights, who is 2 from 2 over this C&D.

This looks wide open but OTAGO gets the vote ahead of New Heights and Dion Baker.

1	7 1st (7) (11/1 +39%) Double Jump		11 11/1(+39%)																															(7) Double Jump 11/1, Dark Angel colt who hasn't gone without promise on 2 of her 3 starts in novice company at up to 7f in recent months, albeit never a threat on qualifying run at Newbury in July. Goes handicapping now with yard in good form but others appeal more on balance. Nursery debutant who isn't entirely solid on novice form.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 -20%) Mafnood		3 3/1(-20%)																															(3) Mafnood 3/1, Fair form when reaching the frame in novice events at Newbury/Salisbury and took his form up a notch to open his account at Haydock (1m) 5 weeks ago, impressing with how he travelled. That form has substance and he's high on the shortlist making nursery debut. Form figures of 431 reflect his steady progress at novice level; respected.
3	4 3rd (4) (3/1 +10%) Spanish Blaze		3 3/1(+10%)																															(4) Spanish Blaze 3/1, Hasn't looked entirely straightforward but he clearly possesses plenty of ability, taking his record to 2-4 when landing 7f Sandown nursery 12 days ago, impressing in how he picked up to score convincingly. Good chance he's capable of even better still. Sandown nursery success took his record to 2-4; open to further improvement.
4	1 4th (1) (2.25/1 +0%) Nellie Leylax		2.25 2.25/1(+0%)																															(1) Nellie Leylax 2.25/1, Calyx colt who is clearly very effective with give underfoot, gaining his third victory from 5 starts when landing 7-runner Haydock nursery (7f, heavy) early last month. Very much ging the right way and any further easing of the ground will likely aid his cause. Respected. 3-3 on soft/heavy, including C&D win; big player granted similar ground.
5th	2 5th (2) (25/1 -150%) The Camden Colt		25 25/1(-150%)																															(2) The Camden Colt 25/1, Displayed fairly useful form when off the mark at second attempt in a Haydock maiden (6f) in May and back to that level when third in class 2 minor event at Pontefract (6f) in July. Never figured in Super Sprint later that month but switch to handicaps more suitable now stepping up to 7f. More exposed than most of these rivals; goes beyond 6f for first time.
6th	5 6th (5) (8.5/1 -6%) Politico		8.5 8.5/1(-6%)																															(5) Politico 8.5/1, Chester maiden winner (6f) who struggled from marks in the 80's in nurseries but well served by return to forcing tactics when making all back at that venue (7f) 12 days ago. May well just lack the potential of one or two back in handicap company now. Has gained both wins at Chester; bit to prove back away from that course.
7th	6 7th (6) (10/1 +44%) Cuban Slide		10 10/1(+44%)																															(6) Cuban Slide 10/1, Wide-margin winner at Musselburgh on debut in May but hasn't kicked on since, midfield in valuable sales race at Newmarket (6f) on his latest outing 3 weeks ago. Steps up in trip for nursery debut with cheekpieces now left off. Limitations have been somewhat exposed since debut win.

LTO Selection:

NELLIE LEYLAX is really progressive and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards on the back of another smooth success at Haydock last time out. Conditions should be in his favour once more, and the son of Calyx is preferred to stylish Sandown winner Spanish Blaze and Mafnood, who should have enough pace for dropping back in trip having scored at Haydock over a mile.

MAFNOOD impressed with the way he travelled and showed improved form in the process when making his third start a winning one at Haydock (1m) 5 weeks ago. It was an effort backed up by the clock, and this drop back in trip will hold no fears, so he holds sound claims on nursery bow. Spanish Blaze impressed with his finishing effort when successful at Sandown at the start of the month and is feared, along with another going the right way, Nellie Leylax

Granted suitable ground, NELLIE LEYLAX could well show further progress and win again. Mafnood is second choice.

Half-sister to several minor US winners, including winner up to 1m Monshun. Sixth foal, half-sister to four winners in the US, plenty of speed in the pedigree.

LTO Selection:

All eyes will be on GALLANTLY here with the Frankel colt rumoured to be the horse that Seamie Heffernan was referring to when he said that the best Ballydoyle two-year-old had yet to hit the track. The Frankel colt is the first foal of French Guineas winner Precieuse and holds an entry in next month's Dewhurst. No form to go in this and the market may prove the best guide. Jessica Harrington's newcomer Bluedrum is by Blue Point and she is out of Drumfad Bay, a listed winner for the yard a few years ago. Donnacha O'Brien's charge At Dawn is another nicely bred debutante. She is by the legendary Galileo out of Group 3 winner Coral Beach.

Aidan O'Brien and Jessica Harrington have dominated this newcomers' maiden and GALLANTLY and Bluedrum might be the pair to focus on before market clues. Keeper's Heart is another to note.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained GALLANTLY sticks out here as a colt by Frankel out of a French Guineas winner. He is rumoured to be smart.

Exploits have been rather mixed since, fourth of 6 in nursery at Carlisle (5f) 13 days ago but entitled to be thereabouts on the pick of his form. Scored at Hamilton (5f) in June but he's been rather in and out since; not ruled out.
2	2 2nd (2) (0.8/1 +4%) Looby		0.8 0.8/1(+4%)																															(2) Looby 0.8/1, Not without promise in novice/maidens and well backed, she duly took a marked step forward to make winning nursery debut at Brighton (5.2f) 10 days ago, notably travelling well and in command last ½f. The one to beat under a penalty. Emphatic winner at Brighton ten days ago; leading claims under 6lb penalty.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -85%) Super Schwartz		12 12/1(-85%)																															(5) Super Schwartz 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in maiden at Ffos Las (6f, heavy, 125/1) 13 days ago, collared 2f out and weakening having gone off too hard. Good deal of improvement required if he's to figure on nursery debut. Yet to offer much in his three outings to date; lots more is required now in handicaps.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 -38%) Nouveaux		9 9/1(-38%)																															(4) Nouveaux 9/1, Tasleet filly. Modest form at best in trio of novice/maiden events on turf/AW in recent months and opening mark demands improvement if she's to figure. Good AW third but only eighth at Beverley since; may do better on nursery debut.
5th	3 5th (3) (4/1 +33%) Krysdanjord		4 4/1(+33%)																															(3) Krysdanjord 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in nursery at Carlisle (6.9f, good, 13/2) 14 days ago, pulling hard and weakening final 1f. Down in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Fading fifth in 7f Carlisle nursery latest; needs to take a big step forward.

LOOBY bolted up on her nursery debut over an extended 5f at Brighton last week and the daughter of Havana Grey looks to be well ahead of her mark under a 6lb penalty here. Scoops Ahoy is an obvious danger based on the pick of his form and he may give the selection most to do. There could be more to come from Nouveaux now that she moves into handicap company and Hollie Doyle is an eye-catching booking.

LOOBY justified good support when readily off the mark in a Brighton nursery 10 days ago and wisely turned out under a penalty, she looks the one to beat switched to the all-weather. Scoops Ahoy can give her most to think about.

Seventh of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Bath (5.7f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Others more persuasive. Won three 5f nurseries last season but has become disappointing this year; new trip today.

10th	4 10th (4) (6/1 -9%) Lady Gazelle		6 6/1(-9%)																															(4) Lady Gazelle 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fourth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Southwell (6f) 17 days ago. Up in trip. Less exposed than most of these. Denied clear run when fourth of 13 on handicap debut (6f); has more to offer over 7f.
11th	7 11th (7) (28/1 +15%) Gonzaga		28 28/1(+15%)																															(7) Gonzaga 28/1, Remains a maiden after 47 Flat runs. Good third of 10 in classified event at Lingfield (7f, good to firm, 50/1) 24 days ago, keeping on after a typically slow start. 50-1 third in Lingfield classified last month but career strike-rate now 0-47.
12th	8 12th (8) (125/1 -279%) The Tiger Tank		125 125/1(-279%)																															(8) The Tiger Tank 125/1, No show in bumpers/over hurdles and similar story in 3 outings on the Flat. More chance now handicapping in a first-time headgear combination but still hard to make a case for. Makes handicap debut off basement mark and with headgear added; improvement possible.

CEILIDH has been knocking on the door for a while and ran a cracker at Brighton last time. The winner of that race has bolted up again since and he can gain a deserved success. The Cola Kid is another consistent sort and is highly likely to be involved in the finish. Lady Gazelle and Gonzaga have both hinted that there should be more to come and can't be dismissed.

THE COLA KID is by far the most solid proposition in this line-up and can notch a second course win of the summer. Lady Gazelle has fewer convictions than the majority and is second choice on the back of her recent Southwell handicap debut fourth. Ceilidh and White Mist also make the shortlist.

One with some potential is 3yo filly LADY GAZELLE, who moves up in trip after a very encouraging fourth on her handicap debut.

1	6 1st (6) (6/1 -9%) Shot Of Love		6 6/1(-9%)																															(6) Shot Of Love 6/1, Winner at Wetherby in June. 22/1 and hooded for 1st time, got back on track after a couple of below-par efforts when third of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to soft) 13 days ago. In the mix. Won over 7f at Wetherby in June; stayed 1m well enough on latest; solid contender.
2	2 2nd (2) (3.33/1 -11%) Overnight Oats		3.33 3.33/1(-11%)																															(2) Overnight Oats 3.33/1, Off the mark at Carlisle (6.9f) in July and displayed a brilliant attitude when following up at Sandown (7f) later that month. Shaped better than the bare result after making his move right away from the main action when eighth at Newbury recently and fancied to be bang there upped in trip. Won 2 of first 3 starts after hood fitted; below best latest and unproven over new trip.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 +14%) Storymaker		6 6/1(+14%)																															(5) Storymaker 6/1, 17/2, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 24 days ago. Back up in trip. Still looking for first success. Maiden; onepaced in handicaps at about 1m and 7f; cheekpieces discarded.
4	1 4th (1) (2.75/1 +39%) Kentucky Bluegrass		2.75 2.75/1(+39%)																															(1) Kentucky Bluegrass 2.75/1, Left form of sole 2-y-o start well behind when landing novice events at Redcar and Lingfield on first 2 starts of this season. Has failed to threaten in a trio of handicaps, though. Won two 7f novices early in season; quite encouraging handicap runs before eased latest.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 -50%) Canadiansmokeshow		9 9/1(-50%)																															(3) Canadiansmokeshow 9/1, Winner at Brighton in June. Fifth of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Back up in trip. Others preferred. Won 1m Brighton maiden in June; held over 7f since but part to play over longer trip.
6th	4 6th (4) (3.5/1 +0%) Rose Bolt		3.5 3.5/1(+0%)																															(4) Rose Bolt 3.5/1, Winner at Bath in July. 12/1, failed to improve when seventh of 14 on handicap debut at Kempton (8f) 31 days ago, racing wide from poor draw. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Made hard work of winning 1m Bath maiden; no real impression on handicap debut since.

LTO Selection:

CANADIANSMOKESHOW struck in a first-time hood over the mile at Brighton two starts ago, before looking outpaced over 7f at Newmarket last month. Eased 1lb in the ratings and back up in trip, Sean Woods' filly might be worth taking a chance on. Rose Bolt wasn't disgraced on her handicap debut at Kempton but she could be more effective now back on turf, while Kentucky Bluegrass heads the remainder.

Impossible to rule out any of the sextet but preference is for OVERNIGHT OATS, who shaped better than the bare result when down the field at Newbury just over a fortnight ago and can resume his progress now upped in trip. Rose Bolt wasn't helped by the way things unfolded on her handicap debut at Kempton last month, so she may emerge as the main threat now fitted with first-time headgear, with Shot of Love rounding off the shortlist.

Shot Of Love comes here following a good run at Thirsk but it may pay to give KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS another chance.

1	3 1st (3) (1.5/1 +33%) Blown Away		1.5 1.5/1(+33%)																															(3) Blown Away 1.5/1, Promising sort who was still very much in need of the experience but he took a step forward from his debut run nevertheless when third of 6 in minor event (13/2) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago, keeping on. Step up to 1m looks sure to suit and big shout with more to come. Two promising runs in 7f events at Newmarket; 1m should suit; sets standard & more to come.
2	10 2nd (10) (1.1/1 +45%) Stormy Waves		1.1 1.1/1(+45%)																															(10) Stormy Waves 1.1/1, 525,000 gns Dubawi colt. Offered plenty to work on both starts to date, again travelling with plenty of purpose when third of 12 in novice company at Doncaster (7f, soft) in July. Gelded subsequently and in excellent hands, so highly likely there's more to come. Player. Third in two 7f events at Doncaster this summer; gelded since latest; can do better.
3	9 3rd (9) (28/1 -40%) Odin Legacy		28 28/1(-40%)																															(9) Odin Legacy 28/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at Haydock (8f, good to firm) on debut 7 days ago, looking green and never involved. Does make appeal on paper though, and this ought to reveal more. Last week's Haydock debut should have taught him something but needs progress to feature.
4	6 4th (6) (33/1 -83%) Fihrayn		33 33/1(-83%)																															(6) Fihrayn 33/1, Foaled April 29. €50,000 yearling, resold 55,000 gns yearling, Waldgeist colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Burnt Sugar and useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Brown Sugar. Makes appeal on paper and interesting what the market makes of him. 55,000gns half-brother to seven winners; sire a stamina influence but dam's side speedy.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 -125%) Chelsea Harbour		18 18/1(-125%)																															(4) Chelsea Harbour 18/1, Foaled April 14. 90,000 gns yearling, American Pharoah colt. Dam, lightly raced in US, half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Nuno Tristan out of useful 2-y-o 6f winner Saintly Speech. Betting should unearth some clues ahead of debut. 90,000gns yearling; dam a maiden in the US; market to guide on debut.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/1 +56%) Baraq		7 7/1(+56%)																															(2) Baraq 7/1, Foaled March 29. 300,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m and Nyaleti and useful winner up to 1m Stellar Path. Dam 2-y-o 1m winner. Bred to be smart and he's a newcomer of some interest.
7th	5 7th (5) (14/1 -87%) Dubai Venture		14 14/1(-87%)																															(5) Dubai Venture 14/1, Masar gelding. Dam, winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f/6f winner). Has plenty of size about him but was ultimately held back by inexperience when seventh of 8 in novice event at Leicester (7f) 32 days ago, very slowly away and soon off bridle. This promises to reveal more. Too green to do himself justice on last month's Leicester debut; bred to do better.
8th	11 8th (11) (150/1 -50%) War Zone		150 150/1(-50%)																															(11) War Zone 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 22 days ago, slowly into stride and soon detached. Can only be watched. 200-1 and little short-term promise on last month's Kempton debut (7f).

LTO Selection:

On both starts to date, BLOWN AWAY has shaped as if this step up to a mile would bring about some improvement and he can get off the mark at the third attempt. The unexposed Stormy Waves is likely to be in the mix once again and he may improve for a recent gelding operation. Baraq, a son of Frankel, is a fascinating newcomer and requires a market check, while similar comments apply to Chelsea Harbour.

There was definite promise to glean from both of STORMY WAVES exploits in novice company on turf earlier this term and, having been gelded subsequently, it would come as no surprise to see him make a bold bid from a handy draw upped to 1m for the first time. That said, Blown Away has displayed plenty of promise himself and he's a major danger for the John & Thady Gosden yard. Al Mootamarid and Let's Dream are others expected to be thereabouts.

1	1 1st (1) (5.5/1 -38%) My Opinion		5.5 5.5/1(-38%)																															(1) My Opinion 5.5/1, 9/2, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago, never nearer. This step up in trip looks a good move and he's of strong interest on the back of that eye-catching effort. Excellent 7f fifth latest; merits serious consideration off the same mark up to 1m now.
2	9 2nd (9) (8.5/1 -21%) Intoxicata		8.5 8.5/1(-21%)																															(9) Intoxicata 8.5/1, Winner at Lingfield in June. 17/2, below form sixth of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Hopes pinned on the addition of a visor sparking some improvement. Got off the mark at Lingfield (7f) in June but she's been below par since; visor on now.
3	3 3rd (3) (5.5/1 -38%) Doves Of Peace		5.5 5.5/1(-38%)																															(3) Doves Of Peace 5.5/1, 5/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 8 days ago, slowly away. Return to this trip looks a good move and he's one of the more appealing candidates. Solid third in 7f Lingfield handicap eight days ago; one to consider back at 1m.
4	2 4th (2) (4.5/1 +68%) Starry Eyes		4.5 4.5/1(+68%)																															(2) Starry Eyes 4.5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Chepstow in July. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Windsor (8.1f, good) 31 days ago. Place possibilities. Not disgraced when fifth of 12 in 1m Windsor handicap 31 days ago; shortlisted.
5th	4 5th (4) (4.5/1 +0%) Elusive Tiger		4.5 4.5/1(+0%)																															(4) Elusive Tiger 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, very good fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago. That represented a step forward compared to his efforts in maiden company and he's one to consider. Gelded/off six months before good Wolver fourth 13 days ago; firmly in the picture.
6th	6 6th (6) (14/1 +30%) Laurentia		14 14/1(+30%)																															(6) Laurentia 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap (33/1) at Brighton (8f, good) 10 days ago. Back down to the mark off which she landed this race last year, so dangerous to discount. Dual winner of this event; only 8th at Brighton latest but could bounce back returned here.
7th	7 7th (7) (33/1 +59%) Fast Flo		33 33/1(+59%)																															(7) Fast Flo 33/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (80/1) at Kempton (8f) 8 days ago. Likely to come up short once more. Yet to register a victory and she beat only one in 1m Kempton handicap eight days ago.
8th	10 8th (10) (40/1 -43%) Opportunity Knocks		40 40/1(-43%)																															(10) Opportunity Knocks 40/1, Tenth of 12 in minor event at this course (10f, 14/1) 14 days ago. Visor on 1st time and, unless the headgear has a positive effect, he'll probably find a few too good once again. Poor maiden handicapper who arrives out of sorts; visor goes on but he's hard to warm to.
9th	8 9th (8) (11/1 +61%) Miss Connaisseur		11 11/1(+61%)																															(8) Miss Connaisseur 11/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. 33/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive from a win perspective. Longstanding maiden but good fourth in Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago; not ruled out.
10th	5 10th (5) (5/1 -100%) Fully Deployed		5 5/1(-100%)																															(5) Fully Deployed 5/1, 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (10f) 14 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Connections now roll the dice with blinkers and he needs to raise his game a touch. Still to get his head in front but not discredited when fourth here latest; in the mix.

LTO Selection:

DOVES OF PEACE was a good third over 7f at Lingfield last time and he did not get a clear passage on that occasion. The three-year-old could take plenty of beating here with better luck and this extra yardage is unlikely to be an issue. Starry Eyes appears primed to offer the sternest resistance to the selection based on her win at Chepstow two starts ago, while Elusive Tiger and My Opinion head the remainder.

It's still relatively early days where MY OPINION is concerned and he is appealing now upped to a mile on the back of a promising effort at Wolverhampton. Doves of Peace and Elusive Tiger are other low-mileage types with decent claims, while last year's winner Laurentia needs considering, for all that she's yet to fire since joining the Laura Mongan yard.

Low-mileage 4yo MY OPINION shaped well when a running-on fifth at Wolverhampton last time and can gain a deserved breakthrough success

1	1 1st (1) (4.5/1 -50%) Bo Taifan		4.5 4.5/1(-50%)																															(1) Bo Taifan 4.5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in June. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 13/2) 28 days ago. Wasn't seen to best effect on that occasion and it wouldn't be much of a surprise to see him bounce back with a bold show. Two AW wins this summer; return to 1m in a well-run race can suit; key player.
2	3 2nd (3) (6.5/1 +19%) El Royale		6.5 6.5/1(+19%)																															(3) El Royale 6.5/1, Creditable fifth of 12 in minor event at this course (10f, 3/1) 14 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Blinkers on 1st time and possibilities if responding well to the headgear. Big chance on his Ffos Las 2nd in July (1m, soft) but he hasn't built on it; new headgear.
3	6 3rd (6) (8/1 +27%) Darker		8 8/1(+27%)																															(6) Darker 8/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 30 days ago. Back down in trip for this polytrack debut and others make more appeal on balance. Regressive 12-race maiden; needs to raise his game to win.
4	8 4th (8) (20/1 -100%) Clandestinely		20 20/1(-100%)																															(8) Clandestinely 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 14 in minor event at Bath (8f, good, 20/1) 50 days ago, nearest finish. Improvement needed now pitched into a handicap. Modest form in her four starts but did offer hope of better at Bath seven weeks ago.
5th	5 5th (5) (3.33/1 +26%) Golden Moon		3.33 3.33/1(+26%)																															(5) Golden Moon 3.33/1, 12/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 22 days ago. Will need to better that if he's to make a serious impact here but, with just 6 starts under his belt, his best days may well be ahead of him. Modest form in six runs but yard going much better now and he's down in the weights.
6th	7 6th (7) (18/1 +36%) He Can Dance		18 18/1(+36%)																															(7) He Can Dance 18/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 12/1, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not at best in two runs back from a 13-month break; new headgear now given a go.
7th	2 7th (2) (2.75/1 +17%) Shabs		2.75 2.75/1(+17%)																															(2) Shabs 2.75/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner minor event (4/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, keeping on gamely. More needed returned to handicap company but he showed a good attitude that day and is certainly not ruled out. 25th time lucky when winning over C&D 3 weeks ago; should remain competitive at this level.
8th	9 8th (9) (10/1 -82%) James Bradley		10 10/1(-82%)																															(9) James Bradley 10/1, C&D winner. Good fifth of 12 in handicap (15/2) at this course (10f) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and he's not without each-way hope. C&D winner in January; not at the same level this summer; tongue-tie needs to help.
9th	4 9th (4) (20/1 +20%) Ju Ju Gabor		20 20/1(+20%)																															(4) Ju Ju Gabor 20/1, Respectable ninth of 15 in handicap (33/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft). Off 121 days. First run for yard after leaving Richard Anthony Foley and she's probably worth taking on. Ex-Irish maiden; not easily recommended on stable debut but this is a drop in grade.

LTO Selection:

Bo Taifan shaped as if this step back up in trip would suit when sixth over 7f at Wolverhampton last month and he is likely to be thereabouts, but preference is for SHABS. Joseph Parr's charge showed a willing attitude when scoring in classified company over course and distance last time and he can follow up that win here. El Royale edges out Clandestinely to be best of the rest.

The vote goes to BO TAIFAN, who wasn't seen to best effect back from a break at Wolverhampton but was in good form prior to that, landing a 7f handicap here and a 1m minor event at Lingfield earlier in the summer. On the latter occasion he cosily beat the re-opposing Shabs and a 3 lb swing is unlikely to be enough for that rival to turn the tables. Still, Shabs, who finally got his head in front over C&D 3 weeks ago, is clear second choice ahead of El Royale and Golden Moon.

1	5 1st (5) (8.5/1 +39%) Wiltshire		8.5 8.5/1(+39%)																															(5) Wiltshire 8.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Last of 11 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 10/1) when last seen in June. Makes polytrack debut (winner of sole previous AW start on tapeta) and he's not written off just yet. Unexposed but off since stopping quickly at Windsor in June; others look safer.
2	3 2nd (3) (2.25/1 +44%) Justcallmepete		2.25 2.25/1(+44%)																															(3) Justcallmepete 2.25/1, Three wins from 12 runs this year. 11/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. 5 lb rise tolerable and he's likely to be in the thick of things. Progressive sprinter; turned in a career best when winning readily over C&D latest; chance.
3	6 3rd (6) (3.5/1 +30%) Batal Dubai		3.5 3.5/1(+30%)																															(6) Batal Dubai 3.5/1, Latest win at Newcastle in July. 11/2, below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 14 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Makes polytrack debut and one to consider back at 6f. Looked good at Newcastle in July (6f); 5f too sharp latest; still has potential at 6f.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 -13%) Princess Shabnam		9 9/1(-13%)																															(2) Princess Shabnam 9/1, C&D winner. 18/1, 10½ lengths seventh of 11 to Believing in listed race at Pontefract (6f, good) 25 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Tongue strap on 1st time. Ran well at Chester in July but heavy defeats in Listed races since; C&D winner; chance.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.33/1 +26%) Open Mind		3.33 3.33/1(+26%)																															(1) Open Mind 3.33/1, C&D winner. 9/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good) 26 days ago. Drop back to 6f will be in his favour and he has to enter calculations. Yet to run badly at this track, winning twice over C&D; solid on turf latest; contender.
6th	7 6th (7) (7/1 +18%) Clipsham La Habana		7 7/1(+18%)																															(7) Clipsham La Habana 7/1, 7/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good) 12 days ago. 2-5 on the AW and he's worth considering. Not at his best over 5f at Sandown latest; yet to run a bad race on AW; one to consider.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 -78%) River Pride		16 16/1(-78%)																															(4) River Pride 16/1, Course winner. 9¼ lengths thirteenth of 16 to Happy Romance in listed race at Bath (5f, good to soft, 33/1), unsuited by drop in trip. Off 146 days and will probably find one or two too good. Only 2lb higher than for a 7f AW win in March; would make more appeal over a bit further.

LTO Selection:

JUSTCALLMEPETE was a good winner over course and distance last time and this looks like a good opportunity to follow up that success. James Evans' gelding enjoyed the return to the all weather that day and a 5lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to halt his progression. Open Mind is on a workable mark based on the pick of his form and the four-year-old should not be underestimated, while Batal Dubai can also hit the frame.

BATAL DUBAI tasted defeat for the first time on the all-weather at Newcastle a fortnight ago but that was a stronger race than this and, moreover, the drop to 5f counted against him. He still looks fairly treated and is taken to resume winning ways now returned to his optimum trip. Justcallmepete did the job well over C&D last time and is feared most ahead of Open Mind and Clipsham La Habana.

3	1 3rd (1) (8/1 +0%) Onemorenomore		8 8/1(+0%)																															(1) Onemorenomore 8/1, Blinkered for 1st time, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good, 13/2) 18 days ago. Not out of things. Still fairly untried at 7f but does need to finish stronger; first time down in a 0-60..
4	14 4th (14) (50/1 +38%) Nemorum		50 50/1(+38%)																															(14) Nemorum 50/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 80/1, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Blinkers back on. Makes limited appeal. Outpaced over a galloping turf 1m2f latest, which doesn't augur well for drop back in trip.
5th	8 5th (8) (5.5/1 -38%) Fayasel		5.5 5.5/1(-38%)																															(8) Fayasel 5.5/1, 9/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Consistent until latest three outings, but back to within 2lb of winning mark as a result.
6th	5 6th (5) (3.6/1 +10%) Sprezzatura		3.6 3.6/1(+10%)																															(5) Sprezzatura 3.6/1, Still looking for first success but pulled clear of remainder when third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 8 days ago and can race off same mark here. Visor on first time. Big player. Ahead of Coral Reef at Ffos Las last month; fine third on Polytrack since; among likeliest.
7th	4 7th (4) (18/1 -200%) Gustav Ucicky		18 18/1(-200%)																															(4) Gustav Ucicky 18/1, Bath winner (5.7f) in June who posted good second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) on debut for new yard 15 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and is one for shortlist. Neck second on return to Polytrack latest (6f); not always seen out this longer trip.
8th	9 8th (9) (4.5/1 +25%) Last Date		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(9) Last Date 4.5/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at this course (6f) 21 days ago. Not taken lightly. Back to lowest ever winning mark; may have a better idea of his present level after this.
9th	13 9th (13) (16/1 +52%) Cloud Queen		16 16/1(+52%)																															(13) Cloud Queen 16/1, Hooded for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more appealing. Not quite at best latest; return to apparent best trip/surface combination rates a plus.
10th	3 10th (3) (7.5/1 -7%) Dulcet Spirit		7.5 7.5/1(-7%)																															(3) Dulcet Spirit 7.5/1, Back to winning ways at Chepstow (7.1f) in July and acquitted herself well in defeat since, latest when second of 5 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 10 days ago, clear of rest. Respected. Can refuse to settle and faces rivalry for the lead, but on a winning mark and best at 7f.
11th	10 11th (10) (11/1 -57%) Coral Reef		11 11/1(-57%)																															(10) Coral Reef 11/1, Below par latest but had posted creditable second in Chepstow handicap (7.1f, good to soft, 9/4) previously and must enter calculations. First Polytrack outing since career-best run at Kempton in the winter (7f) off 6lb higher.
12th	7 12th (7) (125/1 -25%) Grainne O Maille		125 125/1(-25%)																															(7) Grainne O Maille 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 15 days ago. Improvement required. Raced wide and didn't settle in debuted hood (discarded) on recent handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

---

It might pay to side with GUSTAV UCICKY, who was narrowly denied on his debut for the Gay Kelleway team recently. He's 2lb higher now, but the three-year-old still looks well handicapped at this level. Dulcet Spirit continues to run well and is likely to be in the thick of things once more, while multiple C&D winner Monaadhil is only 1lb higher than his last winning mark and cannot be ruled out.

SPREZZATURA was beaten only by a couple of well-treated sorts at Lingfield last week and can get off the mark at the third attempt for his new yard. Dulcet Spirit and Gustav Ucicky head the list of dangers.

Granted 7f on Polytrack for the first time since January's Kempton second, CORAL REEF can reverse Ffos Las form with Sprezzatura.

1	3 1st (3) (1.88/1 +53%) Sun Festival		1.88 1.88/1(+53%)																															(3) Sun Festival 1.88/1, Latest win at Brighton in July. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Now 2 lb lower and he has to be taken seriously. Shaping as if still in form since second of two 2023 Brighton 1m2f wins; respected.
2	11 2nd (11) (7.5/1 +25%) Sunset In Paris		7.5 7.5/1(+25%)																															(11) Sunset In Paris 7.5/1, 14/1, good fourth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good) 29 days ago. Repeat of that effort would give him an each-way chance. Two recent fourths offer hope, but further out of the weights now than for either of those.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +29%) Hot Team		5 5/1(+29%)																															(4) Hot Team 5/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Leicester (10f, good to soft) 2 days ago, nearest finish. Can make his presence felt if turned out again quickly. Trip perfect but have to go back to March 2021 for most recent of just two Polytrack runs.
4	1 4th (1) (16/1 +0%) Velvet Vulcan		16 16/1(+0%)																															(1) Velvet Vulcan 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (8f) 30 days ago. Up in trip and hood on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Refused to settle when 8l seventh here on recent return (1m); maybe best watched for now.
5th	2 5th (2) (8/1 -100%) Lawmans Blis		8 8/1(-100%)																															(2) Lawmans Blis 8/1, 7/2, won 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 13 days ago, always holding on. Needs to pull out more up 2 lb here. Had run of things for recent Tapeta win (1m4f); tonight's trip at lower end of his range.
6th	10 6th (10) (22/1 +33%) Vertical		22 22/1(+33%)																															(10) Vertical 22/1, 22/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Hopes pinned on the new headgear (first-time cheekpieces) sparking improvement. First three efforts last autumn still her best form; work for the cheekpieces to do.
7th	7 7th (7) (5/1 +0%) She's A Mirage		5 5/1(+0%)																															(7) She's A Mirage 5/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 17/2) 31 days ago, suited by way race developed. That wasn't much of a race and she looks vulnerable off this 5 lb higher mark. 1m2f turf (firm) and Tapeta winner this summer; effectiveness on Polytrack in the past.
8th	12 8th (12) (80/1 -21%) Lilla Cross		80 80/1(-21%)																															(12) Lilla Cross 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 200/1). Off 117 days and back up in trip. Best to look elsewhere. No show since okay debut, including at up to 1m2f; much more needed on first run since May.
9th	5 9th (5) (12/1 -33%) Wallaroo		12 12/1(-33%)																															(5) Wallaroo 12/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in July. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (8f, 10/1) 30 days ago. Back up in trip and others are more persuasive from a win perspective. Mixed record of staying 1m-plus, but held on to score at Wolverhampton (8.6f) two runs ago.
10th	8 10th (8) (18/1 -80%) Scramble		18 18/1(-80%)																															(8) Scramble 18/1, Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 25/1) 22 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap on 1st time. Couldn't be sure that this step up in trip is what she wants. Revived to a point with Kempton 1m fourth latest; respected with tongue-tie now added.
11th	6 11th (6) (33/1 -32%) Streetstorm		33 33/1(-32%)																															(6) Streetstorm 33/1, Visored for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 12/1) 30 days ago. Back up in trip on debut for new yard and sports first-time cheekpieces. Nose away from a Lingfield win in June (1m); lesser form since and has left Ed Dunlop.
12th	9 12th (9) (28/1 +15%) College Wizard		28 28/1(+15%)																															(9) College Wizard 28/1, Seventh of 12 in minor event (18/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Better than the bare form more than once last month, including in a C&D classified event.

LTO Selection:

---

SHE'S A MIRAGE defeated a subsequent winner when successful over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last month and the daughter of Kodiac is fancied to follow up from 5lb higher. Lawmans Blis was victorious at the same venue last time and could prove to be the main danger to the selection. Sun Festival edges out Sunset In Paris and Wallaroo to be the pick of the remainder.

The one who appeals most is SUN FESTIVAL, who has come up short both starts subsequent to his Brighton romp in July but he remains feasibly treated and this race won't take a great deal of winning. Hot Team performed with credit at Leicester on Tuesday and has already shown this year that he can handle races in quick succession. He's feared most, while Sunset In Paris is worth considering from an each-way point of view.

An interesting alternative to She's A Mirage could be COLLEGE WIZARD, better than the bare form in a C&D classified latest.

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.
