13:50 Redcar Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (7/1 +42%) Poet's Dawn	7 7/1(+42%)	(3) Poet's Dawn 7/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 7/2) 17 days ago. Struggling to win this season; on a good mark now; ideally suited by softish ground.
2	6 2nd (6) (3.33/1 +5%) Powerful Response	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(6) Powerful Response 3.33/1, Supplemented his Newcastle success at Hamilton in July. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 30 days ago, failing to travel with much fluency. Won over 7f/8.5f earlier in the season; below par latest; may find others better treated.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -41%) Forward Flight	12 12/1(-41%)	(1) Forward Flight 12/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm, 14/1) 68 days ago. Back down in trip and this is an easier contest. Two good runs in the spring but not as good since (didn't stay 1m2f last time); needs rain.
4	4 4th (4) (8/1 +0%) Bird Of Play	8 8/1(+0%)	(4) Bird Of Play 8/1, Winner at Haydock in May. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Newmarket (8f, good) 32 days ago. That was a rare poor effort and he's fancied to bounce back. 7f fast-ground winner in May; some fair runs at up to 1m since; worth considering.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/1 -47%) Loom Large	11 11/1(-47%)	(7) Loom Large 11/1, 40/1, second of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good to firm) 12 days ago. That was a big step up on previous efforts for this yard and task is to now back that up. Ex-Irish; well treated now and ran best race for this yard when 2nd last time; a possible.
6th	12 6th (12) (25/1 -14%) Motarajel	25 25/1(-14%)	(12) Motarajel 25/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 7 in handicap (5/1) at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Usual cheekpieces back on. Last win was in July 2022; now 14lb lower, so well treated, but recent efforts uninspiring.
7th	11 7th (11) (8/1 +0%) Tacitus	8 8/1(+0%)	(11) Tacitus 8/1, C&D winner. Winner here in June. Very good second of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 20 days ago. One to consider. Inconsistent; C&D winner in June and good 2nd last time at Musselburgh; worth considering.
8th	9 8th (9) (40/1 -33%) Starshot	40 40/1(-33%)	(9) Starshot 40/1, Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. That was disappointing given promise of his Ripon run. 0-9; chance on his 66-1 second to prolific winner two runs back; fared less well last time.
9th	8 9th (8) (16/1 -129%) Fifty Sent	16 16/1(-129%)	(8) Fifty Sent 16/1, 9/4, unseated rider in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm) 33 days ago, going quite well at the time. Player assuming he's none the worse for that. AW winner over 1m2f in May; some fair runs since, notable when 2nd over 1m at Ayr; chance.
10th	2 10th (2) (2.25/1 +44%) Copper And Five	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(2) Copper And Five 2.25/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Thirsk in May. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 11/2) 24 days ago. Not taken lightly having been eased 1 lb. Thirsk winner in May; some fair runs since, last 3 with cheekpieces; down in grade; chance.
11th	5 11th (5) (22/1 -83%) Rievaulx Raver	22 22/1(-83%)	(5) Rievaulx Raver 22/1, Latest win at Ripon in June. Last of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Dead-heated at Ripon in June (1m); lesser runs since, two over 1m2f; a bit to prove now.

LTO Selection:

Premiership's stamina appeared stretched by the 1m2f distance at Ripon last time out and the four-year-old shouldn't be underestimated now he is returned to 1m. Preference, however, is for Tim Easterby's POET'S DAWN. The selection has shaped better than the beaten distance suggests in recent appearances, with a drop in the ratings (2lb) and class perhaps enough for him to gain a first success of the season. C&D winner Copper And Five often runs well here and also merits consideration.

PREMIERSHIP has already had a productive season and, now back over his ideal trip, a fourth win may well be forthcoming. Copper And Five and Fifty Sent are potential dangers.

In an open handicap the choice is the consistent COPPER AND FIVE, who is back on a good mark and will appreciate this drop in grade.

13:50 Redcar Handicap (Class 5) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:00 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (4.5/1 +44%) Seefin	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(4) Seefin 4.5/1, Failed to complete in points but signs of ability in trio of starts over hurdles in recent months, not knocked about when second in 6-runner novice here (15.7f) on qualifying run 53 days ago. Longer trip promises to suit now handicapping and highly likely there's better to come.
2	8 2nd (8) (18/1 -50%) Redbridge Rosie	18 18/1(-50%)	(8) Redbridge Rosie 18/1, Maiden who proved disappointing in handful of starts last season but entitled to strip fitter for first start for 6 months when third at Fontwell (25.7f) 18 days ago, close up 2 out and no extra. Task now is to build on that effort.
3	15 3rd (15) (28/1 +44%) Kimberley Eve	28 28/1(+44%)	(15) Kimberley Eve 28/1, Winless in bumpers/over hurdles for Ian Williams and having stepped up on her yard debut effort when third at Southwell (20.4f) in July, she failed to confirm that form when midfield in 11-runner Worcester handicap (23f) later that month. 4 lb out of weights here.
4	10 4th (10) (8/1 +20%) Rumble B	8 8/1(+20%)	(10) Rumble B 8/1, Remains a maiden after 28 starts, although he did largely perform with credit in staying handicap hurdles last season. May of needed first start for 5 months when fifth at Hexham (23.3f) 2 weeks ago and entitled to be sharper now.
5th	6 5th (6) (3.5/1 +30%) Bluebella	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(6) Bluebella 3.5/1, Much improved when getting off the mark at Worcester (2m) in May and consistency hard to knock subsequently, again making the frame despite some indifferent jumping late on when third here (20f) 3 weeks ago. Unexposed at this sort of trip and she's one to consider.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 -100%) Punches Cross	14 14/1(-100%)	(7) Punches Cross 14/1, Useful handicap chaser at best for Joseph Patrick O'Brien and ran up to recent best on these shores when second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.7f) 18 days ago, keeping on without matching the winner. Not discounted.
7th	9 7th (9) (12/1 +45%) Dakota Beat	12 12/1(+45%)	(9) Dakota Beat 12/1, Stepped up on previous efforts this term to land 9-runner Bangor handicap (23f) on penultimate start and backed that up when fourth at Hexham (23.3f) 2 weeks ago. Another with each-way claims in present groove.
8th	11 8th (11) (7/1 +75%) Robbie Dazzler	7 7/1(+75%)	(11) Robbie Dazzler 7/1, Returned to form after a wind-op when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) in June but not in same form at Worcester a month later and he needs to leave that well behind if he's to figure here.
9th	14 9th (14) (11/1 +50%) Meechlands Magic	11 11/1(+50%)	(14) Meechlands Magic 11/1, Poor maiden hurdler who never figured on the back of 10 months off when fourth of 6 in handicap at Fontwell (25.7f) 18 days ago. Others preferred operating from 2 lb out of the weights.
10th	3 10th (3) (8/1 -140%) Alioski	8 8/1(-140%)	(3) Alioski 8/1, Flat/hurdles winner who arrives here in good form, runner-up at Worcester (2m) in July prior to filling the same spot back on the level at Lingfield (15.7f) 3 weeks ago. Steps back up markedly in trip returned to hurdling.
11th	12 11th (12) (28/1 -75%) Black Lightning	28 28/1(-75%)	(12) Black Lightning 28/1, Losing run is mounting up but made the frame on 3 occasions from reduced mark earlier this term. Not at best at Market Rasen (18.6f) when last seen 44 days ago but not out of things for each-way purposes.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (14/1 +13%) Sir Jack West	14 14/1(+13%)	(5) Sir Jack West 14/1, Hurdles winner who added to his tally over fences at Worcester (20f) in May. Not disgraced on 2 of his 3 starts since, likely a stronger gallop would have suited when fifth in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f) 3 weeks ago. However, others appeal more for win purposes.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (20/1 -100%) Came From Nothing	20 20/1(-100%)	(2) Came From Nothing 20/1, Signs of ability in bumpers/over hurdles, albeit not looking entirely straightforward when fifth in 11-runner Newton Abbot maiden (18.5f) 4 weeks ago. However, pedigree certainly offers hope he can do better and switch to handicaps rates a plus. One to monitor in the betting.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (40/1 -122%) Thrifty Scot	40 40/1(-122%)	(13) Thrifty Scot 40/1, Cameron Highland gelding who hasn't offered much short-term encouragement in trio of maiden/novice hurdles at up to 18.5f this summer. Needs to find some improvement for the switch to handicaps/increase in trip.

LTO Selection:

BLAZING COURT proved far more competitive when runner-up on his handicap debut over 2m4f here in July and Martin Keighley's gelding is fancied to find further improvement now he is upped to an extended 2m7f. Punches Cross lost little in defeat when second to a well-treated rival at Fontwell earlier this month and could emerge as the chief threat, ahead of fellow in-form rivals Alioski and Bluebella in what looks an open contest.

Having opened her account at Worcester in May, BLUEBELLA has performed with credit all 4 starts since, third of 9 in handicap at this course 3 weeks ago. Unexposed at this sort of trip, she gets the narrow vote to come out on top in the hope she can prove a little slicker in the jumping department. Seefin looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind and, along with Blazing Court and Alioski, heads up the dangers.

After a very solid start to his handicap career over 2m4f here, BLAZING COURT moves up in trip again today and gets the vote.

14:00 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:05 Listowel Maiden 7f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (2.5/1 -11%) Starliner	2.5 2.5/1(-11%)	(3) Starliner 2.5/1, Thrice-raced colt. Second of 8 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good, 3/1) 13 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Already above average and not discounted. RPRs 80-88 (7f/1m, good), and looks straightforward; should give Master Of The Hunt a race.
2	4 2nd (4) (28/1 -75%) My Princess	28 28/1(-75%)	(4) My Princess 28/1, Foaled February 23. €1,000 yearling, The Last Lion filly. Half-sister to 8.6f-1½m winner Johnny Boom and smart 7f winner New Endeavour. Dam unraced. 150/1, sixth of 16 in maiden at Naas (7f, good to soft) on debut 23 days ago. Should improve, but has a lot to find. Filly needed Naas debut but kept at it and should win races down the line; not hopeless.
3	2 3rd (2) (0.36/1 +32%) Master Of The Hunt	0.36 0.36/1(+32%)	(2) Master Of The Hunt 0.36/1, Foaled April 19. 230,000 gns yearling, No Nay Never colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Drafted. Dam, French/US 1m-1¼m winner, half-sister to useful French 1¼m winner Winter Reprise. Promising third of 9 in maiden (13/2) at the Curragh (7f, soft) on debut 59 days ago. Claims are crystal clear. Really promising third behind two short-odds horses at the Curragh; form boosted since.
4	5 4th (5) (14/1 -27%) Orderofthephoenix	14 14/1(-27%)	(5) Orderofthephoenix 14/1, Foaled March 11. €35,000 yearling, €60,000 2-y-o, Phoenix of Spain filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1¼m War Horse. Dam unraced. Eur35,000 yearling, Eur60,000 2yo half-sister to 7f-1m2f winner War Horse (including 2yo).
5th	1 5th (1) (150/1 -88%) Bofa	150 150/1(-88%)	(1) Bofa 150/1, Twice-raced colt. 80/1, last of 4 in minor event at Naas (5f, soft) 43 days ago, very slowly away. Significantly back up in trip. Tried 5f or 1m, nothing so far (80s or bigger).

LTO Selection:

MASTER OF THE HUNT is entitled to step forward from his debut run at the Curragh and looks the one to beat now. The No Nay Never colt was third to stablemate Henry Longfellow on his debut in July and that obviously looks very strong form now with the winner an impressive winner of the National Stakes recently. The runner-up and fourth have also scored since. Starliner has been knocking on the door and may have the misfortune of bumping into another useful sort here. My Princess showed promise when sixth in a strong Naas maiden, won by Kitty Rose, on her debut and it will be interesting to see how she fares.

MASTER OFF THE HUNT is hard to oppose given his promisig debut, pedigree and connections. O'Brien junior's Starliner has the form to compete but has less scope for improvement.

MASTER OF THE HUNT should win, though he's been off for a little bit so a big market move for Starliner would be a worry

14:15 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (4.5/1 +44%) Alfred	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(7) Alfred 4.5/1, Fair maiden who wasn't disgraced when 5½ lengths third of 7 to Rosenzoo in nursery at Kempton (8f, 9/2) 6 days ago. Arrives in good nick, third at Kempton six days ago; shortlisted off an unchanged mark.
2	3 2nd (3) (7.5/1 +25%) Zariela	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(3) Zariela 7.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, bounced back to debut form when sixth of 15 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Into nurseries now and remains open to improvement. Has been brought along steadily; open to progress on nursery debut so needs considering.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 -9%) Anonymous Guest	12 12/1(-9%)	(6) Anonymous Guest 12/1, Fair maiden who got back on track when 3¼ lengths third of 5 to Line Sheet in nursery at Leicester (7f, soft) 7 days ago. Returned to form when third in Leicester nursery a week ago; bit more is needed though.
4	5 4th (5) (4.5/1 +47%) John Steed	4.5 4.5/1(+47%)	(5) John Steed 4.5/1, Fair maiden who posted his best effort since his debut when third of 7 in nursery (33/1) at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Ought to be competitive again. Best effort since debut when third in Haydock nursery 12 days ago; he needs to back it up.
5th	4 5th (4) (5/1 -33%) The Bitter Moose	5 5/1(-33%)	(4) The Bitter Moose 5/1, Fair maiden who ran respectably when fifth of 7 in nursery at Haydock (7f, good to firm, 4/1) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not dismissed. Solid fifth in 7f Haydock nursery 12 days ago; possibilities eased 1lb here.
6th	1 6th (1) (1.75/1 -17%) Rosenzoo	1.75 1.75/1(-17%)	(1) Rosenzoo 1.75/1, Showed improved form when off the mark in 7-runner nursery at Kempton (8f, 8/1) 6 days ago, well on top finish. Looks well-in under 5-lb penalty. Off the mark in convincing style at Kempton (1m) 6 days ago; big shout under 6lb penalty.
7th	8 7th (8) (28/1 +15%) Cogsworth	28 28/1(+15%)	(8) Cogsworth 28/1, 33/1, last of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago. Others more appealing. Poorly drawn when last in 6f Wolverhampton nursery 12 days ago; he's no forlorn hope.

LTO Selection:

ROSENZOO got off the mark in impressive fashion at Kempton last week and a 6lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up here. That said, Line Sheet also won for the first time recently and could give the selection plenty to think about, while Zariela has to be of interest on her nursery debut following some encouraging efforts.

It wasn't a strong race ROSENZOO won at Kempton last week, but he did take a sizable step forward in brushing the well-backed favourite aside and looks capable of following up under a penalty. John Steed and handicap-debutant Zariela head the opposition.

Charlie Johnston's ROSENZOO hasn't looked back since going into nurseries and can follow up his stylish Kempton win under a 6lb penalty

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (3/1 -9%) Townsend Manor	3 3/1(-9%)	(9) Townsend Manor 3/1, Fair maiden. 6/1, respectable second of 9 at Ripon (6f, good) 22 days ago. Unlikely to be Placed in last two 6f races while shaping as if this drop to 5f will suit; leading player.
2	1 2nd (1) (6.5/1 +0%) Circus Lion	6.5 6.5/1(+0%)	(1) Circus Lion 6.5/1, Promising sort. Third of 7 in novice at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) on debut 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should improve. Solid debut effort at Hamilton; possibilities granted normal progress.
3	6 3rd (6) (18/1 -13%) Pals Battalion	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Pals Battalion 18/1, 14/1, sixth of 11 in maiden (14/1) at Thirsk (5f, heavy) on debut 45 days ago, not knocked about. Hinted at ability in 5f race at Thirsk but may ideally need longer trips.
4	7 4th (7) (2.5/1 -43%) Salvuccio	2.5 2.5/1(-43%)	(7) Salvuccio 2.5/1, Promising individual. 2/1, second of 10 in novice at Bath (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Potential for better again and leading claims. Creditable second at Bath dropped to 5f; remains open to progress; respected.
5th	10 5th (10) (150/1 -127%) Elegant Call	150 150/1(-127%)	(10) Elegant Call 150/1, 33/1, sixth of 7 in novice at Hamilton (5f, good to firm, 33/1) on debut 14 days ago. Comfortably held by Circus Lion on Hamilton running.
6th	5 6th (5) (2.75/1 +17%) Havana Rose	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(5) Havana Rose 2.75/1, Promising type. Built on debut third when winning 8-runner novice at Carlisle (6f, good, 9/4) 18 days ago, keeping on well. Open to improvement. 6f winner at Carlisle last time; one of the main form contenders.
7th	3 7th (3) (150/1 -50%) Emerald Army	150 150/1(-50%)	(3) Emerald Army 150/1, 5/1, achieved little when 10 lengths fourth of 5 in novice at Pontefract (5f, good) on debut 30 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Modest fourth of five in 5f event at Pontefract.
8th	2 8th (2) (7/1 +65%) Cuban Storm	7 7/1(+65%)	(2) Cuban Storm 7/1, 9/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) on debut 32 days ago, slowly away. Should have more to offer. Never landed a blow in 6f contest at Thirsk.
9th	4 9th (4) (14/1 +13%) Hardman	14 14/1(+13%)	(4) Hardman 14/1, 57,000 gns Havana Grey colt. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner), closely related to smart winner up to 1m Oasis Dancer and half-sister to smart 1m/9f winner Smart Enough. Newcomer to note in the betting. 57,000gns yearling; by Havana Grey; sole newcomer in the field; market helpful.
10th	11 10th (11) (150/1 -127%) Clionia	150 150/1(-127%)	(11) Clionia 150/1, 66/1, eighth of 11 in novice at this course (6f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago, slowly away. Down the field in 6f contest here last month.

12th	8 12th (8) (40/1 -122%) Si Si Senor	40 40/1(-122%)	(8) Si Si Senor 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. 17/2, seventh of 8 in novice at Chester (5f, heavy) 66 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Debut promise came on fast ground; well held on soft next time.
13th	13 13th (13) (200/1 -400%) Spin Off	200 200/1(-400%)	(13) Spin Off 200/1, 80/1, tenth of 11 in novice at this course (6f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago. Showed speed here on debut but achieved little in the end.

LTO Selection:

TOWNSEND MANOR has displayed enough speed in his appearances over 6f to suggest that a breakthrough success could be on the cards now dropping to 5f. Havana Rose built on her third-placed finish on debut at Carlisle when coming home in first place at that venue nine days later and Edward Bethell's filly is likely to be involved at the business end once more. Salvuccio wasn't disgraced when runner-up at Bath last time out and completes the shortlist.

SALVUCCIO still didn't look the finished article when second at Bath last month and is selected to take another step forward and come good at the third time of asking. There should be more to come from Ed Bethell's Carlisle winner Havana Rose and she's second choice ahead of Townsend Manor.

The drop in distance is likely to suit TOWNSEND MANOR, who holds leading form claims to boot. Salvuccio is feared most.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (0.5/1 +38%) Williethebuilder	0.5 0.5/1(+38%)	(11) Williethebuilder 0.5/1, Third sole outing in points and showed fairly useful form both bumper outings for Declan Queally in April. Subsequently sold for €110,00 and makes obvious appeal now going hurdling for a top stable.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.5/1 +9%) Olivers Travels	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(1) Olivers Travels 2.5/1, Runner-up in an Irish point before landing a brace of bumpers this summer. Failed to meet expectations on his Perth hurdles debut but made no mistake up markedly in trip at Worcester (23f) next time. Open to further progress but isn't sure to be ideally suited by the return to 2m.
3	2 3rd (2) (6.5/1 -136%) Jeudidee	6.5 6.5/1(-136%)	(2) Jeudidee 6.5/1, Strong in the betting and made a winning debut with a bit to spare in a Warwick bumper in May. Too free under a penalty at Stratford 8 weeks later but ceated a good impression in making a successful start over hurdles in a first-time tongue strap at Worcester (2m) 3 weeks ago. Open to improvement.
4	9 4th (9) (20/1 -25%) Hopeforthebest	20 20/1(-25%)	(9) Hopeforthebest 20/1, Modest handicapper on Flat who ran to a similar level sent hurdling when third of 7 in a C&D novice in August. More required.
5th	8 5th (8) (33/1 +18%) Footloose Man	33 33/1(+18%)	(8) Footloose Man 33/1, Hit the frame all 3 starts in bumpers but achieved very little with a hood fitted on his C&D hurdling debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (150/1 +25%) Twp Stori	150 150/1(+25%)	(7) Twp Stori 150/1, No impact in bumper/completed starts over hurdles. Hooded for 1st time.
7th	5 7th (5) (66/1 -100%) Point Of Honour	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Point Of Honour 66/1, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), won at Catterick in July. Regular rider retained and showed some aptitude for hurdling starting out at Market Rasen but was held in a remote fourth when brought down 2 out at Southwell since.
8th	4 8th (4) (80/1 +20%) Night Bear	80 80/1(+20%)	(4) Night Bear 80/1, Fair winner on Flat but well held on most recent outing in that sphere and he offered little both starts over hurdles back in 2020/21.
9th	12 9th (12) (66/1 +0%) Petit Bijou	66 66/1(+0%)	(12) Petit Bijou 66/1, Down the field in bumpers and on Stratford hurdling debut in July. Most likely one for handicaps further down the line.
10th	3 10th (3) (150/1 +25%) Kingson	150 150/1(+25%)	(3) Kingson 150/1, Modest handicapper on Flat who reportedly had a breathing problem when well held on last month's C&D hurdling debut.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (80/1 -60%) Thorpeness	80 80/1(-60%)	(6) Thorpeness 80/1, Fair start over hurdles when placed in maidens at Huntingdon and Fakenham earlier this year but his final run for Dan Skelton in July resulted in poor handicap debut display over C&D. Opposable starting out for new yard in a first-time hood.

LTO Selection:

Olivers Travels appeared to relish the step up in trip when gaining a breakthrough success over 2m7f at Worcester recently, which is why the return to 2m in this contest may leave the five-year-old vulnerable. WILLIETHEBUILDER had some smart bumper form when racing in Ireland and could take all the stopping if transferring that to this sphere on his hurdling/stable debut for Dan Skelton. Last-time-out winner Jeudidee likely has more to offer and completes the shortlist.

WILLILETHEBUILDER shaped with plenty of promise in a brace of bumpers for Declan Queally back in the spring and is selected to make a successful hurdling debut after 5 months off. Penalised-pair Jeudidee and Olivers Travels are feared most in that order.

Dan Skelton's new recruit WILLIETHEBUILDER changed hands for a six-figure sum after running well in two competitive Irish bumpers.

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (5.5/1 +39%) Racing Royalty	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(4) Racing Royalty 5.5/1, 12/1, good fourth of 17 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to soft) 20 days ago. That was his best effort of the season. Bang there last twice and Lee (finished second last time he rode) back on board.
2	9 2nd (9) (4/1 +0%) Zephron	4 4/1(+0%)	(9) Zephron 4/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 4/1, third of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft) 52 days ago. Dropped to a very appealing mark. Remarkably short in market at Gowran after several nondescript runs and duly improved.
3	12 3rd (12) (11/1 -10%) Lisieux	11 11/1(-10%)	(12) Lisieux 11/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Roscommon (7.2f, good to soft, 14/1) 15 days ago. Wasn't ideally drawn that day so she merits consideration. Sole win was on soft in October; had lots of chances since, though latest was better.
4	7 4th (7) (50/1 -25%) Nibras Rainbow	50 50/1(-25%)	(7) Nibras Rainbow 50/1, 50/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Best form (in Britain) on quick ground; Irish form poor, though stable respected.
5th	14 5th (14) (125/1 -25%) Almost An Angel	125 125/1(-25%)	(14) Almost An Angel 125/1, Unreliable individual. Fourteenth of 16 in handicap (100/1) at Naas (10.5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Seems badly regressive and nearly impossible to make a case.
6th	10 6th (10) (4.5/1 +36%) Von Krolock	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(10) Von Krolock 4.5/1, 5/1, creditable third of 25 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago, clear of rest. Stable having good spell. Should go well again. Stable probably never been in better form and fine runs lately (7f Cork, good) so noted.
7th	8 7th (8) (6/1 -20%) Purring Along	6 6/1(-20%)	(8) Purring Along 6/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (7/2) at Galway (7.1f, good to soft) 7 days ago, going clear. Hit with a 10 lb rise. Dramatic improvement to score off 47 by 5l at Galway (stablemate Talking Tough third).
8th	15 8th (15) (28/1 -12%) Talking Tough	28 28/1(-12%)	(15) Talking Tough 28/1, Two wins from 61 Flat runs. Forty four runs since last win in 2020. 5¼ lengths third of 9 to Purring Along in handicap (18/1) at Galway (7.1f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Stable of Purring Along; third to her at Galway was encouraging; still pretty well held.
9th	3 9th (3) (4.5/1 +68%) Lucky Queen	4.5 4.5/1(+68%)	(3) Lucky Queen 4.5/1, 7/1, sixteenth of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Back down in trip and needs to leave that effort well behind. Seemed to have an excuse, Navan; form unreliable but every chance at her best; rain a help.
10th	5 10th (5) (6.5/1 -8%) Rock Dandy	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(5) Rock Dandy 6.5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 10/3, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Roscommon (7.2f, good to soft) 15 days ago, responding well. Clearly in excellent heart but up 9 lb in hat-trick bid. Getting there before narrow Cork, Roscommon wins; draw not favourable now.
11th	1 11th (1) (9/1 +0%) Little Keilee	9 9/1(+0%)	(1) Little Keilee 9/1, Winner at Sligo in April. Creditable third of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, soft, 14/1) 45 days ago. Dropped 3 lb and eases in class. Likes an ease and blessed to be in this grade after narrow Galway third; likes soft ground.

LTO Selection:

ZEPHRON was well backed at Gowran Park on his last run, in late July, and it was a better effort to finish third then behind Golden Days. He has been dropped a few pounds since that run and Oisin Murphy is obviously an eye-catching booking now. Tim Doyle has his string in fine form and Von Krolock has run well to be placed on his last couple of outings. He looks a big player again here. Rock Dandy comes into this seeking a hat-trick after two quick wins at Cork and Roscommon. Conor Stone-Walsh takes a valuable 7lb off his back now and he is another for the shortlist.

LISIEUX is on a lengthy losing run but she took a big step back in the right direction when fourth from a tough draw at Roscommon so she's selected to build on that from this career-low mark. Jazz Dreamers, Purring Along and Rock Dandy arrive on the back of career-best efforts and they head the opposition.

Lucky Queen, Von Krolock, Singe Anglais, Jazz Dreamers and Zephron were considered; the pin landed on ABOVE IT ALL

Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 1¼m You Don't Own Me and 9f winner Histeric Witch. Yard can ready one, so market check required.

3	1 3rd (1) (0.62/1 -41%) Witness Stand	0.62 0.62/1(-41%)	(1) Witness Stand 0.62/1, Created a favourable impression when making a winning start at Chester in June and bult on that up in grade when sixth of 9 in the Vintage Stakes (14/1) at Goodwood (7f, good to soft) 49 days ago, despite racing freely. Gelded since and sets a good standard under a penalty. Won at Chester then good 6th in Goodwood's Vintage Stakes; since gelded; leading claims.
4	6 4th (6) (5/1 +9%) Sala Da Ballo	5 5/1(+9%)	(6) Sala Da Ballo 5/1, Kingman colt. Brother to useful 1m winner Miami Thunder and half-brother to 1¼m-1½m winner Sausalito. Given a considerate introduction when seventh of 13 at Windsor (6f) last month and ought to improve. Encouraging start when seventh at Windsor; Kingman colt seems sure to take a step forward.

Failed to build on debut when seventh in Haydock novice 12 days ago; plenty more required.
6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 -39%) Zaltalla	25 25/1(-39%)	(9) Zaltalla 25/1, Foaled April 29. €8,500 yearling, £28,000 2-y-o, Zelzal colt. Half-brother to French 2-y-o 7.5f winner Prime Eliot. Dam, French 1m-11.5f winner, half-sister to useful Australian/French 8.2f-1¼m winner Gabella. Zelzal gelding; in good hands and not discounted on his debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (11/1 +39%) True Blue Gent	11 11/1(+39%)	(8) True Blue Gent 11/1, Foaled February 8. €36,000 foal, £70,000 yearling, Zoffany colt. Brother to winner up to 10.5f Jaayiz and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 7f Stardevote and 2-y-o 6f winner Hoof It Hoof It. Wears tongue strap. Zoffany colt; tongue tied for his debut; market can prove an accurate indicator.
8th	3 8th (3) (20/1 -25%) Cloud King	20 20/1(-25%)	(3) Cloud King 20/1, Showed only a little more than first time up when sixth of 10 in minor event (15/2) at Bath (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Cut little ice in Goodwood maiden/Bath novice; he needs to take a big step forward.
9th	10 9th (10) (50/1 +0%) Notre Dame	50 50/1(+0%)	(10) Notre Dame 50/1, 80/1, showed a bit when fifth of 7 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 25 days ago. Encouraging debut fifth at Newmarket; this daughter of Kingman can build on it now.
10th	2 10th (2) (66/1 -65%) Berry Clever	66 66/1(-65%)	(2) Berry Clever 66/1, Foaled April 1. Expert Eye gelding. Dam, winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner), half-sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Desert Crown. Expert Eye gelding; appeals on paper but the market can prove a good guide.

LTO Selection:

WITNESS STAND was far from disgraced when sixth in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood last time and that followed an impressive success on his debut at Chester in June. With that in mind, it is hard to oppose the recently gelded son of Expert Eye now dropped in grade. Fine Interview is a noteworthy newcomer for a yard who can ready one first time, while Son Of Man and True Blue Gent complete the shortlist.

There's a good chance WITNESS STAND will have benefited from a gelding operation having raced freely in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood last month and, if that's the case, he'll prove hard to beat under a penalty. That said, Son of Man and True Blue Gent are a couple of interesting newcomers to keep an eye in the betting.

Tom Clover's WITNESS STAND, who has been gelded since his sixth in the Vintage Stakes, sets a very high standard and is hard to oppose.

1	2 1st (2) (8/1 +6%) Emeralds Pride	8 8/1(+6%)	(2) Emeralds Pride 8/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after 5f wins at Ayr and Beverley in refitted cheekpieces last month. 3 lb rise unlikely to prevent her making another bold bid. Bids for hat-trick, having scored twice in reapplied cheekpieces last month; solid claims.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 +33%) Pepsi Cat	4 4/1(+33%)	(3) Pepsi Cat 4/1, Latest win at Bath in August. 4/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Bath (5f, firm) 13 days ago, closing all way to line. Respected. Back in top form at Bath the last twice and remains unexposed over 5f; highly respected.

Creditable 1½ lengths third of 10 to Opal Storm in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to firm, 13/2) 12 days ago. Ties in with Opal Storm on Carlisle form; 0-11 this term but is on a favourable mark.

Should remain competitive up 3 lb. Likely player provided she backs up the form of her 66-1 win at Carlisle; low mileage.
5th	8 5th (8) (20/1 -67%) Sixcor	20 20/1(-67%)	(8) Sixcor 20/1, Won 10-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) last month. Met trouble at Carlisle since and treated as if still in form. Best to forgive latest effort but he's yet to win outside Scotland.

7th	14 7th (14) (33/1 -200%) The Grey Lass	33 33/1(-200%)	(14) The Grey Lass 33/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Good head second of 10 to Sixcor in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 15/2) 21 days ago. Won off a similar mark in 2022; went close at Musselburgh last time; not ruled out.
8th	12 8th (12) (12/1 +0%) He's An Angel	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) He's An Angel 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Better effort since returning from absence when 3 lengths fifth of 10 to Opal Storm in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to firm) in cheekpieces (retained) 12 days ago, late headway. Shaped with promise in first-time cheekpieces at Carlisle (race won by Opal Storm).
9th	9 9th (9) (6/1 +57%) Spanish Angel	6 6/1(+57%)	(9) Spanish Angel 6/1, Three wins from 17 runs this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in July. Sixth of 9 in handicap (14/1) back at Wolverhampton (5f) 10 days ago. Most wins on AW but has been placed several times on turf this season; could go well.
10th	4 10th (4) (9/1 +18%) Good Luck Fox	9 9/1(+18%)	(4) Good Luck Fox 9/1, Second at Catterick in June but has largely struggled since. More than capable off this sort of mark if back in the mood but he's hard to be confident about at present. Inconsistent this term but has become well treated; won off 11lb higher last September.
11th	1 11th (1) (4/1 +33%) Birkenhead	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) Birkenhead 4/1, Latest win at Southwell in May. Good second of 14 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (5f) 22 days ago. Shortlist material. Close second on AW the last twice; effective on turf in the past and is on a winning mark.
12th	7 12th (7) (6.5/1 +19%) Field Of View	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(7) Field Of View 6.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in novice at Wolverhampton (7f, 11/1) 85 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Cheekpieces on first time. Makes handicap debut. Not obviously well treated but much less exposed than a lot of these. Possible improver now handicapping and dropped to 5f in first-time headgear.
13th	6 13th (6) (18/1 -100%) Elzaal	18 18/1(-100%)	(6) Elzaal 18/1, Four AW wins earlier in the year. Good third of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Beverley (5f, good) 23 days ago, faring best of those held up. One the shortlist. Ran well off this mark at Beverley last time and holds place claims granted a repeat.
14th	5 14th (5) (14/1 +36%) Golden Rainbow	14 14/1(+36%)	(5) Golden Rainbow 14/1, Hooded first time, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. One of 4 runners for his stable. Enters calculations. 0-6 for current yard and 0-10 on turf but wasn't beaten far at Beverley most recently.

LTO Selection:

PEPSI CAT has found her stride of late and looks capable of defying a 2lb rise in the ratings for her short-head defeat at Bath earlier this month. Emeralds Pride completed a double at Beverley last month and cannot be ruled out in her current vain of form, despite a further 3lb rise. Michael Dods' charge may give the selection most to think about, ahead of in-form trio Birkenhead and The Grey Lass in an open-looking contest.

BIRKENHEAD went down only narrowly to an improving 3-y-o at Southwell last time and might prove the answer to this open sprint handicap. The hat-trick seeking Emeralds Pride heads the many dangers along with Elzaal, a stablemate of the selection, and The Grey Lass.

2	5 2nd (5) (2.5/1 +17%) Justshortofabubble	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(5) Justshortofabubble 2.5/1, Finally got off the mark in 9-runner handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f, good to soft) last month and good placed efforts at Worcester since, 5¾ lengths third to Ya Know Yaseff latest. Respected off unchanged mark. Placed twice since last month's breakthrough win at Stratford; on the premises again.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +69%) R Bernard	5 5/1(+69%)	(7) R Bernard 5/1, Poor maiden hurdler and little impact in pair of novice handicap chases 3 months apart (had breathing operation in between). Has fallen in the weights. Struggled on first two chasing attempts; back from break today; not the obvious answer.
4	4 4th (4) (2/1 -14%) Ya Know Yaseff	2 2/1(-14%)	(4) Ya Know Yaseff 2/1, Improved in blinkers the last twice, winning handicap chases at Worcester and Newton Abbot (25.8f). All out last week but suspect she remains ahead of her mark and good chance in hat-trick bid. 2-2 since fitted with blinkers this month and effectively 1lb lower than for latter win.

3	3 \|PU\| (3) (22/1 +0%) Rebel Leader	22 22/1(+0%)	(3) Rebel Leader 22/1, Pair of chase wins in autumn 2021. Well held the last twice (blinkers tried latest). Bit to prove. Ran okay in June, after a layoff, but two disappointing efforts have followed.

LTO Selection:

YA KNOW YASEFF escapes a penalty after winning a conditional jockeys' event at Newton Abbot last Monday and looks the one to beat if coping with the quick turnaround. Justshortofabubble finishing behind the selection in third at Worcester eight days earlier and must enter calculations now 6lb better off at the weights. The returning Dragonfruit has won off a break in the past and is another to note off an 8lb lower mark than his last success.

YA KNOW YASEFF had to work quite hard when scoring at Newton Abbot last week but there is a good chance she remains ahead of her mark and is fancied to get the hat-trick up for David Pipe. Justshortofabubble remains in form and can chase her home again. Dragonfruit is interesting off a career-low mark back from 6 months off.

It's worth chancing DRAGONFRUIT, who has a good record when fresh and returns from his latest break on a very good mark.

The well-bred daughter of Kingman, and star mare Finsceal Beo, has hit the crossbar a few times and there looks a race in her off this kind of mark if things drop right. She seems to be well suited by making the running and from a low draw might be able to bowl along on a track that can suit front-runners. Sirjack Thomas has been running consistently enough and having been eased another couple of pounds for his recent run at the Curragh he could be a big player in this company. Mercurial ran well when runner-up at Galway recently and is another that has to come into calculations.

SIRJACK THOMAS has bene running with real credit in much better handicaps than this so is a very appealing candidate at this level. Mercurial is interesting with cheekpieces back on, while Dragon of Malta is dangerous on his Galway win.

Plenty of these need to bounce back from a quiet run. It is hard to rule out any of them. BRAVE TROOP makes plenty of appeal

LTO Selection:

MANHATTAN MIRAGE displayed plenty of promise when filling third place on his debut at Ffos Las at the beginning of the month and the son of Inns Of Court could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. Mukaafah is closely related to plenty of winners and is a newcomer to note, while similar comments apply to Warsong. Infinity Blue also has valid form claims but could be vulnerable.

MANHATTAN MIRAGE showed a lot of promise on debut and should be winning sooner rather than later. Warsong and Mukaafah are interesting newcomers to note in the betting.

Alice Haynes's MANHATTAN MIRAGE shaped really well when a debut third at Ffos Las and looks very much the way to go.

Up just 2 lb and can go well again. Just held on in tight finish at Pontefract in June and now 3-9; further progress possible.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +27%) Ron O	4 4/1(+27%)	(1) Ron O 4/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (22/1) at this course (8f, good to firm) 24 days ago, soon clear. Back up in trip which isn't sure to suit. Looked in excellent nick over 1m here last month but 7lb rise asks quite a lot of him.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 +10%) Bringbackmemories	9 9/1(+10%)	(5) Bringbackmemories 9/1, Winner at Haydock in June. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, good, 4/1) 18 days ago. Not quite at best lately but his June/July form makes him of significant interest.
4	4 4th (4) (8/1 -33%) Stressfree	8 8/1(-33%)	(4) Stressfree 8/1, Latest win at Longchamp in April. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Chantilly (9.9f, good to firm, 8/1) 83 days ago. First run for yard after leaving C. Laffon-Parias. Good pedigree and could have more to offer for new connections now handicapping. Won Longchamp maiden in April; looks interesting on British/handicap debut.

Seven-time winner but not firing on all cylinders this year; rain a likely negative.
6th	7 6th (7) (4/1 +0%) Flight Of Angels	4 4/1(+0%)	(7) Flight Of Angels 4/1, Good second of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good to firm, evens) 15 days ago. Back up in grade but consistent and she can go well again. Largely consistent since her front-running win in June and ought to give this a good shot.

LTO Selection:

Ron O was an impressive four-length winner over a mile here last month but the 7lb rise and step up in trip will make life tougher for him now. With that in mind, preference is for STRESSFREE, who showed plenty of promise when trained in France and a mark of 82 may underestimate him on his debut for these connections. Others to note are Forceful Speed and Flight Of Angels.

FORCEFUL SPEED resumed winning ways fitted with a tongue strap at Pontefract 3 months ago and could have more to offer if all is well. He can go in again. Stressfree is a likely improver now handicapping for David O'Meara having arrived from France and is of firm interest. Flight of Angels can also feature again.

Preference is for BRINGBACKMEMORIES, who is interesting if judged on the form he showed in June/July.

2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 +9%) Polish	5 5/1(+9%)	(7) Polish 5/1, Little impact in 4 starts on the Flat for John Gallagher in 2022 but, having re-joined former yard, has shown plenty of ability remains when runner-up all 4 starts this season, beaten by Any News back over fences at Worcester on latest. Not ruled out. In good form over hurdles this summer; just a modest second on belated chasing debut.
3	4 3rd (4) (1.88/1 +46%) Jesuitique	1.88 1.88/1(+46%)	(4) Jesuitique 1.88/1, Multiple hurdles winner in 2021 and made a positive start over fences when runner-up at Bangor last month. Claims if he's able to build on that. No match for easy winner when second on chasing debut; bit more needed here.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -60%) Judge Earle	12 12/1(-60%)	(5) Judge Earle 12/1, Back in the groove when landing handicap chases at Uttoxeter and Worcester (both over 2½m) in July. Just touched off over 23.8f at Perth on penultimate start and can be forgiven a flop over hurdles since. One to consider. Flopped over hurdles last month but was in good form over fences beforehand.
5th	2 5th (2) (2.5/1 +44%) Any News	2.5 2.5/1(+44%)	(2) Any News 2.5/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who opened his account over fences when beating Polish readily by 10 lengths at Worcester recently. Needs to improve if he's to defy a rise. Belatedly off the mark over fences in four-runner race this month; this is a bit tougher.
6th	1 6th (1) (8/1 -78%) Dieu Vivant	8 8/1(-78%)	(1) Dieu Vivant 8/1, Back to form after a five-month break when scoring in good style at Bangor a fortnight ago and likely to make his presence felt again if in the same mood. Career-best form when winning easily at Bangor a fortnight ago; respected.

LTO Selection:

DO NO WRONG has won in emphatic fashion over course and distance the last twice and, despite an 11lb rise for his latest victory, he is hard to oppose in his bid to land the hat-trick. John Kingston, who partnered the selection to victory at Cartmel earlier in the campaign, is back in the saddle and another bold bid is expected. Jesuitique is feared most, with recent Bangor winner Dieu Vivant also respected off an 8lb higher mark.

DO NO WRONG is thriving all of a sudden and, having scored with a good deal in hand over C&D last time, he's well worth a chance to complete the hat-trick at the possible expense of Judge Earle who was in good form over fences prior to a blip over hurdles last time. Dieu Vivant is also considered.

He didn't fire last time but RISK AND ROLL was very competitive in stronger races than this last season and can go well when fresh.

Off 12 months. Plenty to find on form. Won 1m Limerick maiden but failed to beat a rival in two subsequent starts; year off.

LTO Selection:

One of three Joseph O'Brien-trained contenders in the line-up, MIRAMIS gets the nod in this competitive affair. Successful in a Listed contest at Galway last month, the chestnut five-year-old showed that was no fluke by since finishing a close-up third in Group 3 company at Tipperary. Matilda Picotte was just half a length in front of the selection at the Limerick Junction venue, and she since gave the form a significant boost by winning a Group 3 at Doncaster on Sunday. Jessica Harrington also saddles three, with her Snowcapped given second preference. From the family of Snow Fairy, the Churchill three-year-old has been a model of consistency this season and should go close. As the highest rated runner in the field, Kingswood is sure to have plenty of supporters, while other leading hopes are Blues Emperor, Fleetfoot and Keep In Touch.

KINGSWOOD produced a smart effort when second in a big-field handicap at the Curragh last time and looks capable of winning at this level. Joseph O'Brien is seeking a hat-trick of wins in this contest and his Miramis, already a winner in similar company this year, is second choice ahead of recent Curragh Group 3 Fourth Snowcapped.

He has a fair bit to find on ratings but FLEETFOOT is likeable, will handle soft terrain and there should be more to come from him

7th	8 7th (8) (20/1 -25%) Sharona	20 20/1(-25%)	(8) Sharona 20/1, 12/1, showed only greenness when last of 7 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 25 days ago. Up in trip. Too green to do herself justice on debut (7f); may do better.
8th	6 8th (6) (8/1 -14%) Dancing Eyes	8 8/1(-14%)	(6) Dancing Eyes 8/1, Twice-raced filly who ran to a similar level as on debut when fourth of 7 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 28/1) 18 days ago. Similar efforts in AW maidens; one of the main form contenders on turf debut.

LTO Selection:

Given PROMETEO's proximity to a now 86-rated rival on his debut at Kempton 20 days ago, this could be a good time to side with the Marco Botti-trained colt. The son of Postponed stayed on well on that occasion and could be a different proposition with that experience to draw on. Tipsy Tiger was just a half-length back in fourth that day and is respected accordingly, while Masterly is a half-brother to four winners and is noteworthy on debut.

MASTERLEY makes plenty of appeal on paper and the booking of William Buck suggests a big run is expected, so he gets the nod to strike at the first time of asking. Prometeo caught the eye finishing well on his recent debut at Kempton and is an obvious threat with improvement on the cards over this longer trip, while Tipsy Tiger may prove best of the rest.

An ordinary-looking maiden in which the most appealing contender is PROMETEO. Dancing Eyes is feared most on form.

Thirsk winner in June but not so good twice since; others have stronger claims.

LTO Selection:

JOJO RABBIT was only beaten half a length over 5f at Catterick a week ago and the step up in trip could see him go one better off the same mark here. The unexposed Mereside Diva is an obvious threat following her success at Nottingham in May, while Impeller edges out Crow's Nest and Dream Deal to be the pick of the remainder.

JOJO RABBIT ran well for second off an identical mark at Catterick last week and might be able to go one better now. Hurstwood, Dream Deal, Impeller and the unexposed Mereside Diva head the many possible dangers.

Captain Vallo can go well back at this track but SECRET GUEST may still have a bigger effort in him.

3	4 3rd (4) (16/1 -100%) On Cloud Nine	16 16/1(-100%)	(4) On Cloud Nine 16/1, Runner-up completed starts in points and got off the mark at the fifth time of asking over hurdles when seeing off 8 rivals in a 19.5f Bangor maiden last month. Folded tamely in a handicap over that same trip there since and now drops back to 2m. Made all in modest Bangor maiden last month but tailed off in handicap there since.
4	3 4th (3) (5.5/1 -10%) Pop The Champagne	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(3) Pop The Champagne 5.5/1, Bumper winner who was well placed to land 4-timer in novice hurdles at around 2m last for Fergal O'Brien last summer. Creditable second in a Stratford handicap hurdle under Bryony Frost last autumn and best to ignore her subsequent Flat run over an inadequate trip. Good second at Stratford last month and subsequent Flat defeat excusable; likely contender.
5th	1 5th (1) (22/1 -120%) Ip Up	22 22/1(-120%)	(1) Ip Up 22/1, Fair hurdler/chaser winner in France for David Cottin. Her opening British mark looks workable but betting perhaps the best guide to expectations after 7 months off. Placed over fences and hurdles in France in February; makes British debut after a layoff.

LTO Selection:

This is a bit tougher than the conditional riders' race won by Isabella Bee over course and distance last week and, although highly respected, she could be vulnerable in this tougher company. POP THE CHAMPAGNE stands out as one who is very capable of holding her own at this level and, off what looks a fair mark, she shades preference today. Ip Up showed some ability during her time in France and is another to monitor closely on her debut run on these shores.

ISABELLA BEE won readily over C&D last Wednesday and should take a bit of stopping off the same mark if coping with 2 outings inside a week. Karannelle went close off a similar mark last week and gets the nod for the forecast spot under Sean Bowen.

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (2.25/1 +25%) Nor Time Nor Tide	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(3) Nor Time Nor Tide 2.25/1, Promising type. 6/4, won 8-runner nursery at Killarney (8.1f, good) 26 days ago, soon clear. Stable having good spell. Can go well again. Soon sent into a handicap at Killarney and duly made light work of his initial mark of 77.
2	5 2nd (5) (1.75/1 +22%) Old Faithful	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(5) Old Faithful 1.75/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in maiden (8/15) at Gowran (7f, good) 13 days ago, keeping on when hanging left last ½f. Likely he can do better still, particularly now stepping up in trip. Promising debut at the Curragh and trouble in running when 8-15 fav at Gowran; runs off 84.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/1 -38%) Asian Daze	9 9/1(-38%)	(4) Asian Daze 9/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 9/4, career best when winning 8-runner nursery at the Curragh (7f, good) 24 days ago, driven out. Thriving on her racing but this rates more demanding in hat-trick bid. On a hat-trick after two wins over 7f, Gowran maiden and Curragh nursery off 80.
4	1 4th (1) (6.5/1 -30%) Spanish Flame	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(1) Spanish Flame 6.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 9/1, 10 lengths fourth of 5 to Henry Longfellow in Futurity Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 31 days ago, finding little. No surprise to see him quickly back on track. Looked promising in pair of good ground wins over 7f/7.5f; outclassed in Curragh Group 2.
5th	2 5th (2) (4/1 -20%) Tamrat	4 4/1(-20%)	(2) Tamrat 4/1, Invincible Spirit colt who made perfect start to career when landing 12-runner Curragh maiden (1m) on debut 24 days ago, just holding on. Looks sure to improve and he's one to consider in this stronger affair. 12s, won 12-runner Curragh maiden over 1m on good ground last month; effective mark of 91.
6th	6 6th (6) (22/1 -120%) Bid For Chester	22 22/1(-120%)	(6) Bid For Chester 22/1, Fair colt. Winner at Navan in August. 12/1, below form fifth of 14 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Up significantly in trip now but he may be vulnerable to less exposed sorts here. Won 5.5f Navan nursery readily and respectable fifth in sales race at Naas last week.

LTO Selection:

Ger Lyons saddles two strong contenders, with his SPANISH FLAME getting the nod. On a mark of 94, the chestnut colt sets the standard and after finishing fourth of five in the Futurity Stakes most recently, he should appreciate this drop in class. Jack Kearney will be aboard the Vincent Gaul-owned selection and he claims a valuable 7lb. Tamrat is the other Lyons representative, with the Invincible Spirit bay successful on debut at the Curragh. Out of a half-sister to Youmzain, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up. Old Faithful may appreciate this step-up in trip to a mile and with Oisin Murphy in the plate, he is sure to have plenty of supporters. Nor Time Nor Tide looks capable of making his presence felt, while the hat-trick seeking Asian Daze is another that warrants respect.

NOR TIME NOR TIDE posted a career-best display and made a mockery of his opening mark in the process when readily landing a Killarney nursery 26 days ago and whilst this rates tougher, he could be the way to go with the prospect of more to come. Old Faithful and Tamrat head up the dangers in what is an intriguing affair.

He faces some likeable rivals but OLD FAITHFUL (nap) could easily be lobbed in here off an effective mark of 84

2	2 2nd (2) (7/1 -27%) Demi Pointe	7 7/1(-27%)	(2) Demi Pointe 7/1, AW maiden winner in December. 10/1 and hooded for first time, 15½ lengths ninth of 11 to Believing in listed race at Pontefract (6f, good) 30 days ago. Makes handicap debut for top yard but mark asks more plenty more. Off eight months before ninth in Pontefract Listed event; others look better treated.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +20%) Katey Kontent	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Katey Kontent 4/1, Won first 2 starts last year but unable to add to tally since. Good fourth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago, running on. Unexposed over 6f. Yet to add to her two juvenile wins but arrives in good nick; one to consider.
4	1 4th (1) (7/1 -40%) Noor Bano	7 7/1(-40%)	(1) Noor Bano 7/1, Took form to a whole new level when winning 7-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 39 days ago, albeit helped by being held up in strongly-run race. 2 lb rise perfectly fair. Won at Haydock latest, when held up in a strongly run race but she's not taken lightly.
5th	10 5th (10) (6/1 +0%) Catwalk Model	6 6/1(+0%)	(10) Catwalk Model 6/1, Hood discarded and finished with a flourish when winning 6-runner handicap (6/1) at this C&D (good) 23 days ago. Good test kept to 6f would help her cause. Second C&D success 23 days ago; not ruled out despite taking a 3lb rise in the weights.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/1 +44%) Cuban Breeze	9 9/1(+44%)	(4) Cuban Breeze 9/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 12 days ago. Visor back on. It's now 21 starts since her last success and she comes here below par too.
7th	7 7th (7) (6.5/1 +59%) Premiere Beauty	6.5 6.5/1(+59%)	(7) Premiere Beauty 6.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in August. Last of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. C&D winner but she's not the easiest to catch right; others are more persuasive.
8th	8 8th (8) (10/1 -82%) Miss Mai Tai	10 10/1(-82%)	(8) Miss Mai Tai 10/1, Three wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in July. 9/4, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) trying to complete the 4-timer last month. Thriving. Completed hat-trick at Lingfield; edged out late at Leicester since; player nudged up 1lb.
9th	5 9th (5) (6/1 -50%) Musical Tribute	6 6/1(-50%)	(5) Musical Tribute 6/1, Blinkered for first time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap (13/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 17 days ago, kept up to work. 9 lb higher mark may well be within reach given unexposed profile. Blinkered when wide-margin winner at Chelmsford; up 9lb but merits serious consideration.
10th	6 10th (6) (11/1 +45%) Miss Bella Brand	11 11/1(+45%)	(6) Miss Bella Brand 11/1, Latest win at Windsor in May. Last of 16 in handicap at York (6f, good, 11/2) 66 days ago. Given a short break. Dual 6f scorer in the spring but well below form since; needs to get back on track.

LTO Selection:

A winner over C&D last month, Catwalk Model is a notable contender, while Miss Mai Tai and Musical Tribute are closely matched based on their encounter in a similar contest at Leicester in May, so also merit serious consideration. However, KATEY KONTENT, who was sixth in last season's Queen Mary at Royal Ascot, has dropped to a highly-competitive mark and looks worth chancing now her sights have been lowered.

MUSICAL TRIBUTE looked transformed by blinkers and the return to 6f when a decisive winner on the AW 17 days ago and, given the manner of that success, her revised mark may well be within her compass. Noor Band also arrives on the back of a personal best, with the thriving Miss Mai Tai completing the shortlist.

James Fanshawe's progressive filly MISS MAI TAI was edged out only late on at Leicester and can garner a fourth success of the season.

Not an obvious sort on paper but this isn't a deep novice and she could feature. Bought for 15,000gns as a yearling; stable's newcomers usually need the experience.

LTO Selection:

Although respected for a race of this nature, Greenwich and Fletcher's Flight have hardly set the world alight and appear more likely to have an impact when they qualify for handicaps based on what they have shown so far. With that in mind, this could be another good bit of placement by William Haggas, who introduces PLINK at a very realistic level. The selection is a half-brother to 1m all-weather winner Pop Favourite and offers strong appeal on paper.

PLINK starts out in a very winnable novice and makes the most appeal before market clues. Greenwich and Shotley Royale both retain potential and could be in the mix.

In what looks a weakish novice event PLINK won't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a winning debut.

6th	4 6th (4) (8.5/1 -6%) Indication Rocket	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(4) Indication Rocket 8.5/1, Course winner. Winner here in May. 5/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (8f) 35 days ago.

10th	3 10th (3) (66/1 -100%) J C International	66 66/1(-100%)	(3) J C International 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 66/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, soft) 7 days ago, missing break. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Difficult ask. Just a hint of ability so far; switches to AW in first-time cheekpieces; plenty to prove.

LTO Selection:

TOSCAN GENIUS appeared to win with something in hand over C&D last Friday and looks more than capable of defying a 5lb rise in the ratings if running to a similar level. Dame Sarra caught the eye when finishing a never-nearer second over this distance at Wolverhampton earlier in September and isn't taken lightly racing off only 1lb higher here. The Ed Dunlop filly is feared most, ahead of Ebony Maw, who is now 5lb lower than his solid second over track and trip in November.

DAME SARRA is going through a good spell at present and shaped well from a poor position at Wolverhampton last time, so she's marginally preferred to Toscan Genius, who scored over C&D recently. Marcello Si is another one to consider.

This may be best left to DAME SARRA, who is better than the bare form of her last run suggests and this track should suit.

Hasn't gone on from that, however, albeit he probably needed the run on last month's return from a break. Cheekpieces back on.

Turned things around with good effort in defeat last month; still on a workable mark.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 -33%) Ibbenburen	12 12/1(-33%)	(3) Ibbenburen 12/1, Successful twice from 4 starts in his novice campaign in 2021.

8th	8 8th (8) (8/1 +50%) Howling Milan	8 8/1(+50%)	(8) Howling Milan 8/1, Sole win gained in novice company in 2019. Not in top form when last seen in September 2021 but handicapper has given him a chance if all is well with him. Not seen since September 2021 but resumes on a very tempting mark.

LTO Selection:

Presenting Pete gained a first success of the season when landing the spoils over C&D last month and a 5lb rise in the ratings is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, SACCHOANDVANZETTI was five lengths behind in second that day and, if taking Daire Davis' 7lb claim into account, he is now effectively 12lb better off with the winner. That may be enough for the seven-year-old to reverse the placings, while Ragamuffin returned to form with a solid runner-up effort at Worcester last month and shouldn't be far away if in a similar mood.

RAGAMUFFIN found only one too good at Worcester 3 weeks ago and on that evidence he looks ready to cash in on this reduced hurdles mark. Presenting Pete and Sacchoandvanzetti occupied the first couple of positions in a C&D handicap recently and they look very competitive again.

9th	4 9th (4) (6/1 +63%) Casanova	6 6/1(+63%)	(4) Casanova 6/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2021. Sixteenth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good to soft, 50/1) 9 days ago. No surprise to see a better showing. Placed in pair of premier handicaps this year but well held on latest two outings.
10th	7 10th (7) (7.5/1 +6%) Small Oasis	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(7) Small Oasis 7.5/1, 22/1, bit below form 10 lengths fifth of 11 to Jackie Oh in Gr 3 at Gowran (9f, soft) 52 days ago, headed over 2f out and fading. Switch to handicaps rates a definite plus and booking of Oisin Murphy rates an eye-catching one. Beaten 3l in pair of stakes races in June; well held latest but noted on handicap bow.

LTO Selection:

EARLS won this race 12 months ago and rated just 4lb higher now, he might be able to strike again. A nine-time winner, he ran a fine race to finish fourth in the Ahonoora at Galway last month, with Snapraeterea two places ahead in second. That Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding reopposes now and is given second preference. A dual Listed winner in 2021 and once rated 111, the Buratino five-year-old should go close. Bidding for his fourth win in-a-row, Cristal Clere is a leading contender with Sean Bowen again claiming a valuable 7lb. Adrian McGuinness saddles a quarter of the field and with 20 wins between them, they all warrant respect. Successful at Galway last week, Laughifuwant is another to consider, along with the Joseph O'Brien trained Just An Hour, who is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time.

LUST remains pretty low mileage for a 5-y-o and stepped up on his comeback run when finishing a good second in a Tipperary minor event 16 days ago, finding only a less exposed sort too strong. This return to 1m will hold no fears and it would come as no surprise to see him go well again. Cristal Clere in search of the 4-timer and last year's winner, Earls head up the dangers, with Snapraeterea another not out of things.

Any rain that arrives will enhance the prospects of CRISTAL CLERE and he can complete a four-timer.

1	4 1st (4) (6.5/1 +41%) Tarbaan	6.5 6.5/1(+41%)	(4) Tarbaan 6.5/1, 10/3, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good) 21 days ago, nearest finish. Building up a pretty solid profile. Consistent type; solid Ripon third latest, so he's in the mix once more.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/1 +25%) Tuxedo Junction	6 6/1(+25%)	(1) Tuxedo Junction 6/1, 9/2, last of 11 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 33 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. This distance more suitable and this represents a pretty big drop in class. Fairly useful winner but form has dipped of late; no surprise though if he bounced back.
3	6 3rd (6) (1.75/1 +30%) Battista	1.75 1.75/1(+30%)	(6) Battista 1.75/1, Promising type. Winner at Wolverhampton in July. Good second of 7 in handicap at Sandown (8f, heavy, 6/4) 48 days ago given he slowly away. Up in trip, which will suit and he looks well weighted. Progressive sort, second at Sandown on handicap debut; gelded since; big player up in trip.
4	10 4th (10) (20/1 +0%) Absolute Queen	20 20/1(+0%)	(10) Absolute Queen 20/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Windsor in July. Ninth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 64 days ago. Has work to do from this mark. Beat only one in hat-trick bid at Windsor in July; can get back on track after a break.
5th	11 5th (11) (10/1 +55%) Wintercrack	10 10/1(+55%)	(11) Wintercrack 10/1, Winner at Leicester in April. 8 lengths sixth of 8 to Forest Demon in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 8/1) 32 days ago. Others more persuasive. Landed 1m2f Leicester maiden in April but she's not been the easiest to catch right since.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 -65%) Bold Ribb	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Bold Ribb 33/1, First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when sixth of 9 in handicap (25/1) at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 38 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Off 7 months (gelded) before creditable Lingfield 6th on yard debut; can take step forward.

8th	9 8th (9) (8.5/1 -6%) Queen's Company	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(9) Queen's Company 8.5/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 10/3) 34 days ago, well on top finish. Can boast an excellent Yarmouth record. Second C&D win latest; has career-high mark but is firmly in the picture.
9th	3 9th (3) (11/1 -10%) Band Of Steel	11 11/1(-10%)	(3) Band Of Steel 11/1, 4/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 20 days ago. Could do with settling down. Very free when good Kempton fifth latest; can go well again off a 1lb lower mark.
10th	5 10th (5) (8/1 -23%) Forest Demon	8 8/1(-23%)	(5) Forest Demon 8/1, Latest win at Newmarket in August. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm, 17/2) 21 days ago, reportedly losing tongue strap in the stalls. That equipment is back on. Won at Newmarket; lost tongue-tie in the stalls when fair seventh at Newbury latest start.

LTO Selection:

Panning For Gold has won four of his last five starts and is open to further progression now he steps up in trip, while Battista and Bold Ribb may also do better now they face a sterner test of stamina. Nevertheless, preference is for the proven stayer FOREST DEMON, who can be forgiven his latest start (lost his tongue-tie in the stalls) and a repeat of his Newmarket success two starts ago would give him a big chance.

BATTISTA is bred to excel over this sort of trip and, having caught the eye when second at Sandown last month, he may well be ahead of his mark. Panning For Gold's record in handicaps is excellent and he's feared most, ahead of Tuxedo Junction.

The progressive BATTISTA (nap) appeals as very much one to keep on the right side of in handicaps and gets the vote.

10th	10 10th (10) (66/1 -32%) Coeur De Coeurs	66 66/1(-32%)	(10) Coeur De Coeurs 66/1, Poor form. Absent since finishing a well-held sixth in a Thirsk handicap over this trip 14 months ago (final start for Jedd O'Keeffe). Can't make a case for. Well beaten so far including in 2 handicaps; hard to fancy on yard debut after long break.

LTO Selection:

The form MERRIJIG's latest neck second at Carlisle was emphatically boosted by the winner going in again at Musselburgh on Saturday and this low-mileage five-year-old appears the most solid option in a weak-looking finale. Lincoln Rockstar and Assembled are others with reasonable chances at this level, although Carlisle fifth Bamboo Bay is slightly better off at the weights with the selection and can feasibly get closer this time.

MERRIJIG has had the form of his latest Carlisle near miss boosted and ought to make a bold bid in this finale. Lincoln Rockstar might pull out a bit more for this trip and is second choice ahead of fellow 3-y-o filly Lady Bracken, who has yet to show much but has fewer convictions than the majority of these and her leading stable is in good form.

LTO Selection:

There were plenty of positives to be gleaned from THE HUN's debut second at Ripon last month and, with improvement expected, Karl Burke's colt is fancied to come good at the second time of asking. Lightning Leo wasn't at his best when finishing last in a Listed event at Salisbury last month, but The Night Of Thunder juvenile can't be discounted on previous performances. He may give the selection most to think about, although strong market support for debutant Sir Geoff Hurst could change that opinion.

THE HUN showed enough on debut to suggest a race of this nature should be his for the taking, and he's the one to beat. Curran also shaped well on debut and he's preferred to stablemate and newcomer Sir Geoff Hurst for the forecast spot.

Ripon runner-up THE HUN is taken to show progress and go one better. Lightning Leo is respected on the figures.

6th	2 6th (2) (11/1 +56%) Ikigai Star	11 11/1(+56%)	(2) Ikigai Star 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Galway (12.4f, heavy) 50 days ago. Yard in good form. Blinkers on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for. Well held in first two handicaps and now goes up in trip with blinkers tried.

LTO Selection:

Another competitive affair to round off proceedings, with the majority of these stepping up in trip to a 1m6f for the first time. One of two hat-trick seekers in the line-up, AMEERAT JUMAIRA is the selection. The progressive Australia chestnut impressed on her handicap debut at Killarney and followed-up in style at Cork. Now on a mark of 78, she might still be ahead of the assessor. Pinto Gris is also bidding for his third win in a row. The grey gelding comfortably accounted for 15 rivals on his most recent start at Leopardstown and he is sure to prove popular with punters. Van Demon and Night Glow are interesting handicap debutants in the line-up. The latter made the breakthrough at Bellewstown last month and had two subsequent winners in behind. Top-weight Esquiline is another leading hope, after going down by just a neck at the Curragh last month.

EASTERN LEGEND's latest Curragh third appeals as solid form so he might be the answer to this tricky finale. The hat-trick seeking Pinot Gris hasn't looked back since fitted with cheekpieces and is second choice ahead of Willie McCreery's Night Glow, who should have more to come now handicapping on the back of last month's Bellewstown maiden success.

The handicapper had his say after PINOT GRIS romped home at Leopardstown but Gavin Cromwell's gelding can defy his revised mark

Ninth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at York (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago though that was a stiff task from out of the weights.

9th	6 9th (6) (8.5/1 -21%) Stone Circle	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(6) Stone Circle 8.5/1, Three-time C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good, 7/1) 40 days ago, typically doing his best work late. Garnered his third C&D win in July; solid Chepstow third latest and one for the shortlist.
10th	4 10th (4) (4/1 -33%) Fair Wind	4 4/1(-33%)	(4) Fair Wind 4/1, Very good second of 11 in handicap (10/3) at Chester (5.1f, good to soft) 17 days ago. That was encouraging and he's not yet exposed. Excellent second at Chester latest; remains with few miles on the clock; player up 1lb.

LTO Selection:

FAIR WIND finished a creditable second at Chester in a competitive three-year-old contest earlier in the month and is fancied to regain the winning thread off only 1lb higher here. Cover Up found only a progressive rival too strong on his handicap debut at Goodwood a fortnight go and may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of last month's C&D winner Razzam. The Showcasing gelding has run well in defeat since but is now 4lb higher than his third-placed finish at Wolverhampton last time out.

VESPASIAN was disappointing when last seen at Windsor in July but he's been freshened up since and this represents a slight drop in class. He's marginally preferred to unexposed 3-y-os Fair Wind and Cover Up.

This could rest between a pair of progressive 3yos in the shape of Cover Up and FAIR WIND with preference for Owen Burrows' gelding.

First run for yard after leaving Suzzanne France. Likely to need the run. Dual winner here and, although out of sorts when last seen, is interesting for new yard.
10th	5 10th (5) (8/1 -60%) Child Of Lir	8 8/1(-60%)	(5) Child Of Lir 8/1, Lightly-raced winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 6-runner maiden at this course (8f, 10/1) 8 days ago, driven out. Should be suited by the return to this trip and he's worth a chance to follow up. Won on AW debut over a mile here last week; more to do back in handicap under penalty.

LTO Selection:

Oscar Doodle made the most of a switch into classified stakes company when winning with authority at Chelmsford last month. However, the four-year-old may find life tougher on the return to handicap company off a 5lb higher mark than his penultimate third-placed finish over this C&D earlier that month. With that in mind, it could pay to take a chance on BALQAA, who races off the same mark as her nose second here last week. The in-form We Still Believe is another viable alternative.

CHILD OF LIR opened his account in a maiden at this track 8 days ago and a return to this trip looks sure to suit, so he gets the nod to follow up back in handicap company. We Still Believe and Oscar Doodle are feared.

A few to consider but this can go to BALQAA who ran well over this C&D last week and he can race from the same mark once again.

2	7 2nd (7) (5.5/1 -10%) Darlo Pride	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(7) Darlo Pride 5.5/1, Very good second of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 19 days ago. Merits consideration. Going the right way now and a repeat of his latest AW second would see him go close.
3	10 3rd (10) (18/1 +10%) Rewilding	18 18/1(+10%)	(10) Rewilding 18/1, 20/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 35 days ago. Visor on first time. Uphill task. One placed effort at Windsor that offered hope but no progress since; new headgear today.

5th	2 5th (2) (3.33/1 +49%) Frisky	3.33 3.33/1(+49%)	(2) Frisky 3.33/1, First run since leaving Simon Pearce when last of 4 in handicap (6/1) at Leicester (5f, soft) 7 days ago. Likely he needed that and this will reveal more. Not beaten all that far on last week's stable debut but finished last of four.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 -11%) Nautical Dream	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Nautical Dream 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in handicap (66/1) at Beverley (5f, good) 23 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement. Suspicion he's better than we've seen and he's one to note for market confidence.
7th	1 7th (1) (11/1 +0%) Once Adaay	11 11/1(+0%)	(1) Once Adaay 11/1, AW winner in December. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 7/1). Off 6 months. AW maiden winner; didn't look ahead of the assessor in the spring; gelded since; unexposed.
8th	4 8th (4) (5/1 +9%) Bernard Spierpoint	5 5/1(+9%)	(4) Bernard Spierpoint 5/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win here in June. 9/2, good second of 6 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 15 days ago. Expected to be bang there from the same mark. Two 6f wins in June and he ran well at Brighton last time; dropping to 5f not sure to suit.

LTO Selection:

SNOW BERRY was unable to complete a double on her return to handicap company when third at Nottingham in August, but the five-year-old ran well enough to suggest that a race of this nature should be within her compass. Darlo Pride posted his best effort to date when denied by a neck at Chelmsford recently and enters calculations off 3lb more in the ratings, while Bernard Spierpoint cannot be discounted off the same mark as his Brighton second earlier in September.

BERNARD SPIERPOINT is far more reliable than most at this level and, having won 3 times already in 2023, he looks the way to go. Nautical Dream is a potential improver, with Darlo Pride another one to take seriously.

A modest event can fall to SNOW BERRY who is suited by this track, represents an in-form yard and won't be scuppered by recent rain.

Step up in trip rates a likely plus and he's a likely improver now handicapping. In good hands and may do better now qualified for a mark; not written off.

5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 +0%) Havana Prince	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Havana Prince 4/1, 9/1, career best when winning 12-runner nursery at this course (6f) 8 days ago, digging deep under pressure. Remains unexposed on AW and he's one to consider under a penalty. Perhaps a fortunate winner here (6f) last week but took well to the surface; likely player.
6th	10 6th (10) (7.5/1 -25%) Balmanzor	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(10) Balmanzor 7.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 3¼ lengths fifth of 12 to Havana Prince in nursery (12/1) at this course (6f) 8 days ago, needing stiffer test. This step back up in trip rates a likely plus and it remains early days with him. Ties in with two of these rivals on course running last week; not dismissed.
7th	6 7th (6) (10/1 +9%) Likleman	10 10/1(+9%)	(6) Likleman 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/4, fifth of 7 in nursery at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others have achieved more. Seemed a non-stayer over 1m on nursery debut; still open to improvement in handicaps.
8th	8 8th (8) (5.5/1 +54%) Likeashadow	5.5 5.5/1(+54%)	(8) Likeashadow 5.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 10 in minor event at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others more persuasive. Not particularly solid on turf novice form but this new scenario may help.
9th	7 9th (7) (10/1 -33%) Hooray For Hazel	10 10/1(-33%)	(7) Hooray For Hazel 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable 3 lengths fourth of 12 to Havana Prince in nursery at this course (6f) 8 days ago, keeping on. Step up to 7f may unlock a little more progress. Fourth to Havana Prince here last week; should be suited by this extra furlong.
10th	5 10th (5) (14/1 -65%) Whatwouldiknow	14 14/1(-65%)	(5) Whatwouldiknow 14/1, 9/4, below form fifth of 10 in nursery at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago, not ideally placed. Makes tapeta debut. Not taken lightly. Ran well on penultimate turf start; dam gained only win on Tapeta; one to consider.
11th	11 11th (11) (66/1 -164%) The Man From Loule	66 66/1(-164%)	(11) The Man From Loule 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good) 22 days ago, never travelling well and always behind. Makes handicap debut. Holds very weak claims on his turf maiden form.

LTO Selection:

Havana Prince was a gutsy winner of a nursery over 6f here eight days ago and is respected under a 6lb penalty. However, this longer trip demands more and he is taken on with ARIZONA DESERT, who has already shown some promise over 7f and debuts in a handicap with a live chance at the weights given that Owen Lewis eases the burden with his 7lb claim. Korroor has a similar profile and is also considered.

KORROOR hasn't gone without promise in a trio of maiden/novice events and, with the step up in trip expected to suit now handicapping, he could be worth siding with to take a step forward in what rates an open-looking nursery. Recent course winner Havana Prince and Whatwouldiknow head up the dangers, whilst Arizona Desert demands a check on the betting on her yard/handicap debut.

In an open contest, ARIZONA DESERT gets the narrow vote. Korroor, another handicap newcomer, is second choice.

Return to 6f rates a plus on that evidence and no surprise to see her in the mix. Should be suited by the return to this trip on AW debut and respected.
2	5 2nd (5) (33/1 -136%) Leveret	33 33/1(-136%)	(5) Leveret 33/1, Foaled March 26. Invincible Army filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1¼m Fev Rover and useful winner up to 1m Bill The Butcher. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 1¼m. Plenty to like on breeding and interesting to see how she fares in the market.
3	4 3rd (4) (66/1 -100%) Last Applause	66 66/1(-100%)	(4) Last Applause 66/1, Foaled April 11. €38,000 yearling, Acclamation filly.

4	2 4th (2) (3.33/1 -33%) Dianara	3.33 3.33/1(-33%)	(2) Dianara 3.33/1, Made appeal on paper and showed encouragement when fourth of 11 in valuable newcomer's race at Deauville (7f, good, 85/10) 33 days ago. Expected to build on that and she rates a live player. Fourth on Deauville debut last month; drop in trip may suit; related to AW winners.
5th	6 5th (6) (150/1 -127%) Lincoln's Inn	150 150/1(-127%)	(6) Lincoln's Inn 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 28/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good) on debut 18 days ago, slowly into stride and never involved. Likely longer-term project. Well behind Jungle Jean on her Carlisle debut; plenty of improvement required.
6th	9 6th (9) (125/1 -25%) Please Please Me	125 125/1(-25%)	(9) Please Please Me 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at this C&D on debut 11 days ago, missing break. Ran green when ninth of 11 on her debut over C&D 11 days ago.
7th	1 7th (1) (11/1 -38%) Alibi Warning	11 11/1(-38%)	(1) Alibi Warning 11/1, Foaled April 12. Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Attagirl and 5f/5.7f winner Symbol of Hope. Bred to be sharp and interesting what the market makes of her. Enough to like on pedigree and stable often gets them ready first time; market informative.
8th	8 8th (8) (1.25/1 +29%) Our Melody	1.25 1.25/1(+29%)	(8) Our Melody 1.25/1, Foaled April 3. Blue Point filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart 6f-1m winner Excel Power and useful winner up to 7f Caspian Queen. Makes appeal on paper for yard adept at readying a newcomer, so one to note in the betting for clues. Attractive pedigree and stable has such a fine record with 2yo newcomers; watch market.
9th	7 9th (7) (7/1 -40%) Nasneen	7 7/1(-40%)	(7) Nasneen 7/1, Promising individual. 4/1, second of 8 in maiden at Catterick (5f, good) on debut 20 days ago. Was getting the hang of things during the race and progress expected with the step up to 6f expected to suit. Shaped as though 6f would suit when second on debut; half-sister to a Tapeta winner.
10th	3 10th (3) (40/1 -100%) Jungle Jean	40 40/1(-100%)	(3) Jungle Jean 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. Showed more than first time up when fourth of 8 in minor event (11/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 18 days ago. That ought not to prove her limit but nurseries may be more her bag. Not without a bit of promise in first two starts, but may be one for nurseries after this.
11th	10 11th (10) (50/1 +24%) Royal City	50 50/1(+24%)	(10) Royal City 50/1, Foaled April 29. €12,000 yearling, Belardo filly. Half-sister to French 9.5f winner Rihama. Dam unraced half-sister to Athasi Stakes winner Rehana. Apprentice ridden and wouldn't be an obvious winner on debut.

LTO Selection:

This appears a lot easier than the race in which DIANARA finished fourth when making her debut at Deauville last month and, given she is related to a couple of winners on the all-weather, the switch to a synthetic surface is expected to suit. Jungle Jean is feared most after a respectable fourth-placed finish in a novice at Carlisle 18 days ago, while Alibi Warning has a lot going for her on paper and she is an interesting newcomer to monitor in the betting.

DIANARA produced a promising first effort when fourth in a newcomer's race at Deauville last month and with progress anticipated, she earns the narrow vote to come out on top. Royal Elysian rates the type to be suited by the drop back to 6f and is feared along with Nasneen who caught the eye on debut at Catterick. Alibi Warning and Our Melody are a couple of newcomers to note also.

This can go to NASNEEN, who shaped as though this extra furlong would suit when runner-up on her Catterick debut.

2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 -50%) Love Your Work	9 9/1(-50%)	(2) Love Your Work 9/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 7 in handicap (5/1) at this course (1m) in June, weakening over 1f out. No surprise to see a better showing returning from a break. Conditions no problem and returning to 7f in his favour; one to consider.
3	1 3rd (1) (8/1 -60%) Yoshimi	8 8/1(-60%)	(1) Yoshimi 8/1, Latest win at Leicester in August. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to firm, 5/1) 27 days ago. Claims once more in present groove. In good form this summer; second off this mark latest; handles Tapeta; contender.

Conditions to suit and she's on a good mark; has refused to race twice this season though.
5th	10 5th (10) (9/1 -50%) Saisons D'Or	9 9/1(-50%)	(10) Saisons D'Or 9/1, 3-time C&D winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Ripon (8f, good) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive. 3lb lower than for his Tapeta win in March; in and out since and easy lead looks unlikely.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 -43%) Raven's Applause	10 10/1(-43%)	(4) Raven's Applause 10/1, Reacted well to cheekpieces when winning at Windsor (6f) in June. However, turned in lacklustre displays on 2 of his 3 starts since, latterly when last of 7 at Doncaster (6f) in July. Visor worn then are now replaced by blinkers. 6f turf winner; stays 7f; good record in new headgear so switch to blinkers could help.
7th	8 7th (8) (14/1 +30%) Harbour Vision	14 14/1(+30%)	(8) Harbour Vision 14/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 18/1) 10 days ago, headed final 1f and no extra. May be sharper with that under his belt. Promising return from a three-month absence ten days ago; drop to 7f no problem; chance.
8th	12 8th (12) (28/1 -27%) Lily In The Jungle	28 28/1(-27%)	(12) Lily In The Jungle 28/1, Winner at Ripon (6f) in May and returned to form to confirm herself at the trip when runner-up at Lingfield (7f) in July. Not in same form either outing since though, albeit racing alone and beaten final 1f when ninth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (6f) 2 weeks ago. Not at her best the last twice and set to face competition up front in this field.
9th	7 9th (7) (7.5/1 +38%) Candy Warhol	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(7) Candy Warhol 7.5/1, Fair maiden who again made the frame when third at Wolverhampton (7f) in March but absent since finishing down the field in 12-runner Southwell handicap (1m) back in April. However, booking of Hollie Doyle very much catches the eye and interesting if the market spoke in his favour. Below par when last seen in April; dropped 4lb ahead of return though & has shown promise.
10th	5 10th (5) (33/1 -106%) Naaser	33 33/1(-106%)	(5) Naaser 33/1, Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving George Boughey when last of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 14/1) 11 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Has work to do. Low-key stable debut at Kempton 11 days ago (6f); something to prove after that.
11th	9 11th (9) (33/1 -175%) Cephalus	33 33/1(-175%)	(9) Cephalus 33/1, Course winner. Last of 6 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford (1m) 17 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Dropped a long way in the weights but he's not easily recommended despite new headgear.

LTO Selection:

Perseverance is the name of the game with SUN POWER, who has a decent opportunity to make the most of a potentially lenient current mark. The gelding, who was rated 102 in his prime when with Richard Hannon, was denied by only a neck off 73 in a similar race here 11 days ago and can go one place better if he settles earlier this time off 1lb lower. Yoshimi and Harbour Vision are others to consider, while course specialist Saisons D'Or is also dangerous to rule out.

LOVE YOUR WORK ran below his best when last seen in June, yet he'd previously been shaping up well from his easing mark, and having gone well fresh on the back of a break, he could just be worth chancing to come out on top. Sun Power and Yoshimi head up the dangers.

Several possibles in an open race but \bLOVE YOUR WORKp should find this being run to suit and can gain a ninth career win.

Out of form on turf this summer; had wind surgery last month; revival needed.
2	9 2nd (9) (3.5/1 +22%) Slippin Jimmy	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(9) Slippin Jimmy 3.5/1, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on first time, respectable fourth of 11 over C&D (9/2) 11 days ago. Consistent sort who is likely to figure again. C&D winner last season and pretty consistent this year; likely to be on the premises.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 +0%) Verona Star	6 6/1(+0%)	(5) Verona Star 6/1, C&D winner on debut. No significant impact since switched to handicaps, although he likely went off too hard at Kempton (7f) latest. Made very promising start to his career but subsequent handicap form is very underwhelming.

6th	10 6th (10) (18/1 -100%) Bobby Joe Leg	18 18/1(-100%)	(10) Bobby Joe Leg 18/1, Five-time C&D winner. In good nick when last seen in May and can play a part if ready to roll after 4 months off. Consistent on Tapeta since last autumn's hat-trick; back from break on fairly tough mark.
7th	11 7th (11) (14/1 +50%) Reginald Charles	14 14/1(+50%)	(11) Reginald Charles 14/1, 25/1, last of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (7f, good) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive. Big player judged on York third in July but that was very much his standout run this year.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 -178%) Invested	50 50/1(-178%)	(7) Invested 50/1, Dual winner for Michael Bell in the spring, including a 7f Yarmouth handicap off 1 lb lower than today. One to keep an eye on in the betting on first outing for a new yard after a break. 2-5 for Michael Bell; sold for 18,000gns after below-par run in June; makes stable debut.
9th	3 9th (3) (7.5/1 -50%) Ramiro	7.5 7.5/1(-50%)	(3) Ramiro 7.5/1, Latest win at Ayr in July. 66/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford(6f) 19 days ago. Ought to be competitive. Landed good prize off this mark on turf in July; drops in grade after respectable AW run.
10th	6 10th (6) (2.5/1 +33%) Patontheback	2.5 2.5/1(+33%)	(6) Patontheback 2.5/1, C&D winner in August. Respectable third of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (7f, good, 6/1) 19 days ago, running on. Likely to be on the premises again. Placed twice on turf since emphatic C&D win last month; at the top of his game; respected.

LTO Selection:

PATONTHEBACK has made the frame in both starts since winning over C&D last month and it would be no surprise to see the five-year-old return to winning ways here. That said, Bobby Joe Leg has been running well in defeat of late and could give the selection plenty to think about, while Slippin Jimmy and Ramiro also merit places on the shortlist.

It might be worth taking a chance on ELDRICKJONES back from a break as he potentially has plenty of class for this grade if a wind operation has had a positive effect. Patontheback and Slippin Jimmy arrive in form and should figure again, while C&D specialist Bobby Joe Leg should also have a say if primed after a break.

The one in prime form is PATONTHEBACK (nap), who has been placed twice on turf since last month's emphatic C&D win.

1	2 1st (2) (16/1 -14%) Cusack	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Cusack 16/1, Course winner. Latest win here in March. Last of 7 in handicap (10/1) at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 73 days ago, reportedly finishing lame. Likely type to bounce back. Last two wins have come over 1m2f here, though ran well over C&D in June; each-way claims.
2	14 2nd (14) (14/1 +0%) Girl From Italy	14 14/1(+0%)	(14) Girl From Italy 14/1, Maiden who proved friendless in the betting but ran up to her best when finishing good third of 10 in handicap from this career-low mark at Southwell (7f) 3 weeks ago. Remains lightly raced on AW and she's not out of things with Hollie Doyle an eye-catching booking. 0-9, but went close at Beverley in June and a close third at Southwell last month.
3	1 3rd (1) (5.5/1 +54%) Ibiza Rocks	5.5 5.5/1(+54%)	(1) Ibiza Rocks 5.5/1, 14/1 and blinkered for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 22 days ago, not ideally placed. Tongue strap on 1st time. Losing run up to 16 and stamina to prove; blinkers/tongue-tie on.
4	10 4th (10) (16/1 -45%) Pop Favorite	16 16/1(-45%)	(10) Pop Favorite 16/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good, 40/1) 23 days ago. Bounce back rates likely returned to AW. Last three wins have come over C&D, the latest last month; frame material at least.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/1 +18%) Atlantic Heart	9 9/1(+18%)	(5) Atlantic Heart 9/1, Creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good, 18/1) 21 days ago, having to weave through around 1f out and unable to land a blow. Best effort for present yard came at this venue last month and drop back into class 6 company rates a plus. 4lb below sole winning mark and ran well here last month but still has stamina to prove.
6th	9 6th (9) (4.5/1 +50%) Masham Moor	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(9) Masham Moor 4.5/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Good length second of 10 to Pop Favorite in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 35 days ago. Not taken lightly. C&D winner who has made the frame in last seven starts on Tapeta; unlikely to be far away.
7th	4 7th (4) (7/1 -56%) Spirit Of Bowland	7 7/1(-56%)	(4) Spirit Of Bowland 7/1, Much improved this year, making it 3 wins from 4 starts when landing 8-runner C&D handicap back in May, quickening to lead final 100 yds and driven clear. Absent since but he may not have reached his limit yet and rider takes off handy 5 lb here. Bids for a Tapeta four-timer from 7lb higher after 140 days off; has fitness to prove.
8th	6 8th (6) (16/1 +20%) Martin's Brig	16 16/1(+20%)	(6) Martin's Brig 16/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 14/1) 33 days ago, always behind. May be sharper with that run under his belt. Dual winner over 7f at Southwell and does stay this far but below form the last twice.
9th	11 9th (11) (5/1 +0%) Explorers Way	5 5/1(+0%)	(11) Explorers Way 5/1, 6/1, improved on recent efforts to win 13-runner handicap at this C&D 11 days ago by length from Mr Strutter, keeping on well. Expected to be bang there. 17th-time lucky over C&D 11 days ago; should make an impact if building on that.
10th	8 10th (8) (7/1 +13%) Mr Strutter	7 7/1(+13%)	(8) Mr Strutter 7/1, Latest win over C&D in June. Good length second of 13 to Explorers Way in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 11 days ago, headway out wide 3f out and keeping on. Fancied to give another good account. One win and two runner-up finishes in his last three starts over C&D; thereabouts again.
11th	3 11th (3) (14/1 -65%) Absolute Dream	14 14/1(-65%)	(3) Absolute Dream 14/1, Course winner. Won 7-runner handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm, 6/1) 14 days ago, doing better under change of tactics. Remains with handicapping scope if he can back that up returned to AW. 2lb higher than when winning at Hamilton last time and remains well treated on old form.
12th	7 12th (7) (16/1 -33%) Stormy Denise	16 16/1(-33%)	(7) Stormy Denise 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 36 days ago, weakening over 1f out. That was her first start for 4 months and fitting of blinkers may have positive effect now. Two heavy defeats since a promising third at Southwell; blinkers on.
13th	13 13th (13) (80/1 -186%) Red Shield	80 80/1(-186%)	(13) Red Shield 80/1, 66/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 38 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Hard to fancy. Not finished within 11l of the winner in seven starts; tongue-tie on.

LTO Selection:

EXPLORERS WAY got off the mark over C&D 11 days ago and a 2lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop the son of Australia. Masham Moor is an obvious threat to the selection following his narrow defeat here last month and he can race off the same mark here. Others to note are Mr Strutter, Spirit Of Bowland and Girl From Italy.

EXPLORERS WAY has fallen a long way in the weights and belatedly capitalised when opening his account over C&D 11 days ago, leading 1f out and keeping on well. He gets the narrow vote to follow up from a 2 lb higher mark, with the progressive Spirit of Bowland on return to action and Rockin Rosa heading up the dangers. Mr Strutter is another fancied to be thereabouts.

Preference is for ABSOLUTE DREAM who returned to winning form at Hamilton last time. A 2lb rise still leaves him well treated.

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.
