13:15 Ayr Handicap (Class 4) 7f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (11/8 +31%) Miss Roberts	1.375 11/8(+31%)	(1) Miss Roberts 11/8, Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, bit below form second of 7 in minor event at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Should be on the premises, provided she goes on the ground (all starts to date on good/good to firm). Has gone close in both nurseries; bang there if conditions suit (unraced on slow ground).
2	6 2nd (6) (7/2 +50%) Buttercross Flyer	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(6) Buttercross Flyer 7/2, Winner at Newcastle in August. 15/2, creditable fourth of 12 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f) 9 days ago. Unraced on ground slower than good but will be a threat if conditions don't pose a problem. Has to transfer AW improvement back to turf but there has been promise on grass; respected.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 -129%) Lunar Streets	4 4/1(-129%)	(3) Lunar Streets 4/1, Promising type. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 9/4, second of 8 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 21 days ago, running on. Likely she has more to offer now stepping up in trip and into handicap company. Promise over 6f on first two starts & open to improvement now up in trip on nursery debut.
4	5 4th (5) (14/1 -40%) Roman Secret	14 14/1(-40%)	(5) Roman Secret 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 20/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 25 days ago. Needs to take a sizeable step forward now handicapping. Flopped on AW latest but promise on turf previously; could bounce back on nursery debut.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/1 +8%) Never Fear	11 11/1(+8%)	(4) Never Fear 11/1, Thrice-raced winner. Successful at Wolverhampton in May. 5/1, fifth of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) 85 days ago. Needs to get back on track now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Underwhelming on both starts since her winning debut but the break may have helped.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/1 -8%) Elinor Dashwood	7 7/1(-8%)	(2) Elinor Dashwood 7/1, Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Haydock in July. Fourth of 5 in minor event (15/2) at Chester (6.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Improvement needed now pitched into a handicap. Haydock 6f maiden winner who is worth a go at this trip and is not ruled out.

LTO Selection:

ELINOR DASHWOOD ran as well as expected when finishing fourth in a race full of progressive types at Chester earlier this month and may be able to regain the winning thread on her nursery debut. The twice-raced Lunar Streets also enters handicaps off what looks a workable mark and Ed Dunlop's filly may give the selection most to think about, although Miss Roberts arrives in good heart.

This is probably best left to LUNAR STREETS, who landed a soft-ground Leicester maiden on debut last month prior to finishing second under a penalty at Carlisle where she didn't enjoy the best of runs. She is likely to benefit from this step up in trip and has been handed what looks a very fair opening mark. Buttercross Flyer and Miss Roberts can fill the places.

The step up in trip looks to be the right move for LUNAR STREETS and she is taken to make a winning nursery debut.

13:35 Listowel Maiden Hurdle 20f - 18 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	12 1st (12) (4/6 +19%) Tag Man	0.666667 4/6(+19%)	(12) Tag Man 4/6, Fairly useful hurdler who again ran well in a first-time tongue strap when second in 6-runner novice at Killarney (22.8f, soft, 15/8) 28 days ago. Leading claims. Bumper winner who is 0-6 over hurdles but has some flashes of very smart form.
2	17 2nd (17) (3/1 -71%) River Tara	3 3/1(-71%)	(17) River Tara 3/1, Bumper winner who was let down by her jumping when third in 11-runner maiden at Wexford (16.7f, soft) on hurdles bow 42 days ago. Should improve. Bumper winner but a tired third when favourite for hurdling debut at Wexford.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 +52%) Secrecies Of Stone	12 12/1(+52%)	(8) Secrecies Of Stone 12/1, Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Whatsavailable, stays 3m, and fair hurdler Dympnas Well. Failed to complete both starts in points, every chance when fell last latest (Dec 2022). Held every chance when falling late on in his second point.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 -23%) Just Three	8 8/1(-23%)	(5) Just Three 8/1, 66/1, shaped well when second of 12 in maiden hurdle at this course (24f, good to soft) on NH debut 5 days ago, staying on having travelled fluently. Open to improvement. Encouraging second here on Sunday but looks to have more on his plate this time.
5th	11 5th (11) (200/1 +0%) Sonny Fella	200 200/1(+0%)	(11) Sonny Fella 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in bumper at Galway (16.7f, soft, 50/1). Off 11 months. Makes hurdles debut. His first bumper run when beaten 15l was better than the second when tailed off at Galway.
6th	18 6th (18) (150/1 -88%) Shindilla	150 150/1(-88%)	(18) Shindilla 150/1, Looks one for handicaps later on. Beaten 26l and 21l in her first two maiden hurdles and doesn't look up to this.
7th	15 7th (15) (66/1 -100%) Ballerina Boxer	66 66/1(-100%)	(15) Ballerina Boxer 66/1, Steadily progressive in bumpers but more required now hurdling. Has ability, having finished third in a point and fourth in a bumper at Kilbeggan.
8th	14 8th (14) (125/1 -89%) The Dooner Citizen	125 125/1(-89%)	(14) The Dooner Citizen 125/1, Dansant gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including modest hurdler Citizen's Army and Frontline Citizen. Dam ran once in point. Has a useful jumping pedigree but would need to be smart to win this on debut.
9th	6 9th (6) (25/1 -56%) Now Is The Hour	25 25/1(-56%)	(6) Now Is The Hour 25/1, Winning pointer who was well held in maiden hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good, 7/1) on Rules debut 71 days ago. Did well in points and seemed to run below expectations at Downpatrick.
7	7 \|B\| (7) (66/1 +34%) Padraigs Boy	66 66/1(+34%)	(7) Padraigs Boy 66/1, Produced best effort to date in first-time cheekpieces when third in 11-runner maiden (33/1) at Wexford (20f, good to soft). Not seen for 16 months, though. Cheekpieces he wore for the first time when a 17l third at Wexford are now dispensed with.
13	13 \|F\| (13) (7/1 +50%) Talk In The Park	7 7/1(+50%)	(13) Talk In The Park 7/1, Hasn't gone on from a promising bumper debut and now tries hurdling. No threat to the winners of the bumpers in which he finished second.
10th	10 10th (10) (200/1 +0%) Soldat Flamboyant	200 200/1(+0%)	(10) Soldat Flamboyant 200/1, Runner-up on second of 2 starts in points but was well held in a Tipperary maiden hurdle on Rules debut 20 days ago. Finished tailed off on his hurdling debut at Tipperary nearly a year ago.
11th	1 11th (1) (150/1 -88%) Applicationofcash	150 150/1(-88%)	(1) Applicationofcash 150/1, Well held completed start over hurdles. Ran okay at Kilbeggan but is likely to remain vulnerable whilst confined to maidens.
12th	4 12th (4) (100/1 +0%) Due Course	100 100/1(+0%)	(4) Due Course 100/1, Pulled up in 2 points and just mid-division both starts over hurdles. There have been positives to take from his two maiden efforts at Ballinrobe.
13th	3 13th (3) (250/1 -100%) Clyde The Glide	250 250/1(-100%)	(3) Clyde The Glide 250/1, Little show in hunter chase (bled) and maiden hurdles. Modest pointer and also tailed off in a hunter chase; suffered the same fate over hurdles.
14th	2 14th (2) (250/1 -25%) Bright Lad	250 250/1(-25%)	(2) Bright Lad 250/1, No form in bumpers/maiden hurdles. Up in trip. Very minor form in bumpers/maidens at huge odds; no appeal.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (33/1 +0%) So Original	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) So Original 33/1, Showed a bit more than on hurdling when fifth in 10-runner maiden at Downpatrick (21.8f, soft). Off 16 months. Hooded on for 1st time. Tailed off in last year's two maiden hurdles and Rachael Blackmore has jumped ship.
16	16 \|PU\| (16) (66/1 -100%) Colline Fleurie	66 66/1(-100%)	(16) Colline Fleurie 66/1, €9,000 3-y-o, Hillstar mare. Dam unraced. Off mark in points at second attempt (Apr 16). Made a bright start in her points but questionable whether she'll be up to this.

LTO Selection:

TAG MAN appears to have been found an excellent opportunity to finally shed his maiden status over flights. A bumper winner at the Punchestown festival last year, the Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding has shaped well on six runs over hurdles. A handicap mark of 128 is a fair standard in a race of this nature, so it will certainly take a smart performance if one is to beat him here. Just Three belied odds of 66-1 when runner-up at this meeting on his racecourse debut earlier in the week. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding should be sharper for that experience if the race doesn't come too soon. River Tara was a beaten favourite on her hurdling debut at Wexford last month but the former bumper winner has to be respected given her connections.

This looks a good opportunity for TAG MAN, who's run to a fairly useful level on all but 1 of his 6 starts over hurdles. River Tara was let down by her jumping on her debut in this sphere at Wexford but should prove capable of better, while Just Three also enters calculations having shaped well at this venue last week.

Bumper winner TAG MAN may be 0-6 over hurdles but he brings by far and away the strongest form to this table.

13:45 Ayr Handicap (Class 2) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/2 +25%) Flaccianello	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(4) Flaccianello 5/2, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 33/1, respectable fifth of 17 in minor event at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Not dismissed. 1-1 in nurseries and ran well in sales race last week; could be better than current mark.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +50%) Two Tribes	4 4/1(+50%)	(2) Two Tribes 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Sandown in August. Good second of 5 in nursery at Chelmsford City (5f, 6/4) 20 days ago. Boasts a progressive profile. Solid 5f nursery form and every chance he'll be fine now back up in trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +33%) Love Billy Boy	4 4/1(+33%)	(3) Love Billy Boy 4/1, Winner at Musselburgh in April. Creditable third of 9 in minor event (4/5) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 16 days ago. Makes nursery debut. Worthy of respect. Third in sales race at York last month and firmly in calculations on nursery debut.
4	5 4th (5) (20/1 +39%) Sergeant Wilko	20 20/1(+39%)	(5) Sergeant Wilko 20/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Thirsk in April. 11/1, 15½ lengths last of 7 to Kylian in listed race at Sandown (5f, good) 77 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs to bounce back. Early promise; back down in grade here but has to leave summer Listed defeats well behind.
5th	10 5th (10) (13/2 +19%) Bill's Baar	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(10) Bill's Baar 13/2, Won 6-runner maiden (11/4) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Makes handicap debut. One to consider. Slow-starter but won Ripon maiden recently and could continue to progress; not discounted.
6th	8 6th (8) (10/3 +17%) Media Shooter	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(8) Media Shooter 10/3, Thrice-raced winner. Sixth of 22 in minor event (40/1) at York (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Makes nursery debut. Sixth of 22 in sales race at York last month and has potential off his opening mark.

LTO Selection:

In what looks a closely-matched contest, a chance is taken on MEDIA SHOOTER, who was sixth in a valuable sales race at York but is 4lb better off with the reopposing third, Love Billy Boy, for just over a length. Two Tribes narrowly failed to follow up his victory in a decent Sandown handicap when second at Chelmsford latest and a further 4lb rise may not prevent this progressive colt mounting another bold challenge. Master Of My Fate steps up a furlong, which is expected to suit.

ALMARADA showed a good response to pressure when doubling his tally at Hamilton 17 days ago and he appears to have been handed a lenient opening mark for his nursery debut, so he takes preference over Sayidh Kingman who was impressive when opening his account at Kempton last month. Love Billy also makes appeal in a race where the majority can be given some sort of a chance.

The return to 6f should be ideal for LOVE BILLY BOY, whose sales race third at York last month suggests he could be a big player.

13:45 Ayr Handicap (Class 2) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:50 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (9/4 +36%) Movie Maker	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(7) Movie Maker 9/4, Invincible Spirit colt from a useful family and offered something to work on amidst greenness when fifth in 9-runner maiden at Lingfield (6f) on debut 32 days ago, not knocked about. Will improve. Found himself isolated from the main players when beaten just over 3l at Lingfield.
2	11 2nd (11) (10/3 +56%) Von Baer	3.333333 10/3(+56%)	(11) Von Baer 10/3, No Nay Never colt who showed a bit when fifth of 9 in a 7f novice at Ascot (7f, firm) on debut 13 days ago. Entitled to do better. Promising debut and stable's 2yos are renowned for improving with experience.
3	2 3rd (2) (200/1 -100%) Call Time	200 200/1(-100%)	(2) Call Time 200/1, Went with no promise on debut at Ascot 2 weeks ago. Ended up tailed off at Ascot when 66-1 for a 6f novice on good ground.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 +25%) Great Acclaim	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) Great Acclaim 12/1, Aclaim colt. Dam unraced, half-sister to high-class 5f performer Sole Power. Looked badly in need of the experience when eight of 13 on last month's debut at Windsor but was beginning to get the message late on and can be expected to improve. Only midfield at Windsor but stable's youngsters can improve on their debut efforts.
5th	10 5th (10) (16/1 +0%) Timebar	16 16/1(+0%)	(10) Timebar 16/1, Went backwards from debut when last of 8 in minor event at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last week, possibly unsuited by track. Positives to take from debut in a warm race; didn't look at home at Epsom latest.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/2 +31%) Assembly Call	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(1) Assembly Call 11/2, Showed ability under a sympathetic ride when fifth of 11 on debut at Salisbury and was still in need of the experience when running to a similar level at York. Reasonable efforts at Salisbury and York; doubt that he has a great deal to find.
7th	9 7th (9) (9/1 +55%) Romanee	9 9/1(+55%)	(9) Romanee 9/1, Foaled February 12. £45,000 yearling, 77,000 gns 2-y-o, Starspangledbanner colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Jungle Time. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful 6f winner Cairn Gorm. Market for clues. 77,000gns 2yo; bred to have a future but likely best watched first time out.
8th	8 8th (8) (10/3 -11%) Rebaatt	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(8) Rebaatt 10/3, Foaled January 16. €185,000 yearling, Dark Angel colt. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to useful 1m/8.3f winner Terwada out of smart 7f/1m winner (would have stayed 1¼m) Bethrah. Newcomer from top yard who needs taking seriously. 185,000euros yearling from a leading yard; market should point in the right direction.
9th	14 9th (14) (125/1 -25%) Lady Twilight	125 125/1(-25%)	(14) Lady Twilight 125/1, Showed nothing on last month's debut at Kempton. 50-1 and was always out the back over 7f at Kempton; not hard to go elsewhere.
10th	12 10th (12) (200/1 +0%) Clear Aim	200 200/1(+0%)	(12) Clear Aim 200/1, Aclaim filly. Half-sister to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Bad Company and 5f winner Sparked. Offered little on her recent debut at Windsor. Finished last at odds of 200-1 at Windsor and some tail flashing didn't go unnoticed.
11th	13 11th (13) (200/1 +20%) Gator Girl	200 200/1(+20%)	(13) Gator Girl 200/1, Ulysses filly who was very green when well held in 6f maiden at Windsor on debut 18 days ago. Sent off 200-1 at Windsor (6f) and ran accordingly, finishing well behind Hurricane Power.

LTO Selection:

HURRICANE POWER sets the standard after putting up a couple of solid displays to make the frame at Windsor. The son of Exceed And Excel looks well placed to shed his maiden tag at the fifth time of asking. The main danger might be newcomer Rebaatt, who goes for powerful connections and was a 185,000-euro purchase, and any market confidence behind him would be of huge interest. Movie Maker should take a step forward from his debut fifth and he completes the shortlist.

HURRICANE POWER sets the standard having run to a borderline fairly level the last twice, so he has to be considered the one to beat. Movie Maker is from a useful family and seems likely to build on an encouraging debut at Lingfield, with Rebaatt a newcomer to note.

Rebaatt needs a market check but bHURRICANE POWER\p appeals as the most likely winner provided he can hold his form on softer ground.

1	2 1st (2) (1/4 +53%) Outlaw Peter		0.25 1/4(+53%)																															(2) Outlaw Peter 1/4, Enjoyed an excellent last season over hurdles and scored over 21f at Wincanton and Kempton in March. Signed off with a good ninth of 22 in 3m Aintree handicap hurdle and rates an interesting recruit to chasing. Useful novice hurdler last season; should win this if he jumps adequately.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/4 -38%) Walk In Clover		2.75 11/4(-38%)																															(1) Walk In Clover 11/4, Successful this spring in handicap chases at Cheltenham (Grade 2) and Southwell. Followed it up with a good fourth at Uttoxeter (20f, good to soft) and holds solid claims atfer a break. In good form over fences in the spring (two wins) but is vulnerable on these terms.

LTO Selection:

A progressive sort over hurdles last season, OUTLAW PETER looks to have plenty of potential on his first outing over the larger obstacles. He won a valuable event at Kempton in March and should have enough to see off Walk In Clover, who won a Grade 2 contest for mares at Cheltenham in April but has a bit to find on ratings.

Narrow preference is for OUTLAW PETER who progressed well over hurdles last term and appeals as the sort to make an even better chaser for the Paul Nicholls yard. Walk In Cover has experience on her side though so seems sure to go well in what promises to be a close-run match.

This ought to be straightforward for chasing debutant OUTLAW PETER, who did very well as a novice hurdler last season.

14:05 Listowel Handicap Hurdle 16f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	14 1st (14) (11/1 +61%) Man O Work	11 11/1(+61%)	(14) Man O Work 11/1, Excellent 3 lengths second of 13 to Filey Bay in maiden (14/1) at Tramore (16f, good) 36 days ago, no match for winner. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Looks competitive on form. Case can be made on his best hurdle form and latest Flat effort was encouraging.
2	8 2nd (8) (13/2 +35%) Horantzau D'airy	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(8) Horantzau D'airy 13/2, 1 win from 2 runs this season. 4/1, below form fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Galway (20.7f, good to soft) 50 days ago, not ideally placed. Back down in trip. Below par in a novice at Galway; no margin for error off this mark back in a handicap.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/1 +0%) Shecouldbeanything	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Shecouldbeanything 5/1, 2 wins from 3 runs this season. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle (2/1) at Killarney (17f, soft) 28 days ago, comfortably. Much respected under Kennedy. Up 10lb for winning at Killarney but she's likeable and probably has more to offer.
4	9 4th (9) (6/1 +45%) Thecompanysergeant	6 6/1(+45%)	(9) Thecompanysergeant 6/1, Career best when winning 7-runner novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft, 2/1) 28 days ago. Pulled up in his previous handicap at Galway but his mark is workable on his novice form. Failed to give his true running in previous handicap; looked good last time.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 -17%) Icare Allen	7 7/1(-17%)	(3) Icare Allen 7/1, Creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.6f, soft, 4/1) 48 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Back down in trip. Can make presence felt. Unlucky 4th in the Galway Hurdle before 2m6f stretched him two days later; back in form.
6th	13 6th (13) (6/1 +25%) Volantis	6 6/1(+25%)	(13) Volantis 6/1, Winner in hurdle at Fairyhouse in February. Good ½-length second of 20 to Ifiwerearichman in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Galway (16f, good) 49 days ago. Likely capable of even better and high on the shortlist. Came from well off the pace to push Ifiwerearichman to within a length at Galway.
7th	6 7th (6) (25/1 -39%) Cash Back	25 25/1(-39%)	(6) Cash Back 25/1, Bit below form second of 6 in minor event hurdle (10/11) at Cork (18.7f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Only a return to his very best will suffice. Reliable front-runner but at his best in dominating smaller fields and can be taken on.
8th	4 8th (4) (28/1 -133%) Magic Tricks	28 28/1(-133%)	(4) Magic Tricks 28/1, 66/1, 15 lengths ninth of 13 to Fils D'oudairies in Grimes Hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good) 78 days ago. Peak form brings him into it and was entitled to need his run in a Grade 3 last time.
9th	18 9th (18) (16/1 +27%) My Gaffer	16 16/1(+27%)	(18) My Gaffer 16/1, 8/11, didn't need to be at best when winning 18-runner novice hurdle at Limerick (16.4f, good to soft) 119 days ago, pushed out. Unexposed but this a tough ask on handicap debut. Lacks a recent run and thrown into the deep end here for handicap debut; 5lb wrong.
10th	2 10th (2) (14/1 -211%) Filey Bay	14 14/1(-211%)	(2) Filey Bay 14/1, Another very good advert for his shrewd yard, placing in Betfair and County hurdles in the spring and shaping well from too far back when fifth in a big field at Galway in August. Also won over 2m on the Flat later in August and latest effort over 7.5f can be ignored. Big player back hurdling. Knows what these big field handicaps are all about and should be involved.
11th	1 11th (1) (16/1 -60%) Fils D'oudairies	16 16/1(-60%)	(1) Fils D'oudairies 16/1, 2 wins from 3 runs this season. 18/1, career best when winning 13-runner Grimes Hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good) 78 days ago by 2¾ lengths from Sharjah, kept up to work. A very smart effort will be needed under clear top weight. Last year's runner-up and returns in better form after winning a Grade 3 at Tipperary.
12th	17 12th (17) (25/1 +24%) Captains Nephew	25 25/1(+24%)	(17) Captains Nephew 25/1, Winner in hurdle at Clonmel in February. Creditable sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft, 16/1) 150 days ago. Something to find on form. Has only won a maiden and has managed no better than sixth in his three handicaps.

Needs the ground to dry out and yet even then he looks vulnerable in this company.
16th	15 16th (15) (20/1 -67%) The Big Chap	20 20/1(-67%)	(15) The Big Chap 20/1, 9/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Sligo (16.9f, good) 75 days ago, kept up to work. Reportedly better for patient tactics when winning with something in hand at Sligo.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (16/1 +52%) Ifiwerearichman	16 16/1(+52%)	(11) Ifiwerearichman 16/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Career best when winning 20-runner handicap hurdle (28/1) at Galway (16f, good) 49 days ago by ½ length from Volantis, always holding on. More on his plate off 7 lb higher now. Had the run of things up front when winning a big-field 2m handicap at Galway; up 7lb.

LTO Selection:

The lightly-raced VOLANTIS should be capable of making his presence felt from the foot of the handicap. An impressive maiden winner at Fairyhouse back in February, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained five-year-old travelled well throughout when runner-up on just his second start in handicap company at Galway last month. Indeed, if the gaps had appeared at the right time, he may well have got out in time to land the main prize. Filey Bay disappointed on the flat at Tipperary last time but can readily be forgiven that run over a totally inadequate trip. The Galway Hurdle fifth should be a serious contender now that he has his optimum conditions. Icare Allen was a place in front of the latter at Ballybrit but is worse off at the revised weights as he was claimer ridden at the festival.

It's surely only a matter of time before FILEY BAY lands a valuable handicap hurdle and perhaps this will be the day. Ross O'Sullivan's Volantis is another who likely has his name on a nice prize before long after shaping well in a couple of handicaps this summer and he's second choice ahead of Icare Allen, who looks the pick of the Willie Mullins quartet, and Shecouldbeanything.

As competitive as ever. ICARE ALLEN knows what these big-field handicaps are all about and he looks back in top order.

Bit to find but still relatively unexposed. Looks all about speed; behind Purosangue last time and softer ground here is a worry.
5th	5 5th (5) (150/1 -67%) Alfa Moonstone	150 150/1(-67%)	(5) Alfa Moonstone 150/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Catterick in May. Last of 6 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good, 17/2) 26 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Last on her nursery debut 26 days ago and has a lot to find in this company.

LTO Selection:

PUROSANGUE was only beaten a neck by Big Evs in the Molecomb at Goodwood and then confirmed that promise when second at this level in the Roses Stakes at York. A reproduction of either of those efforts would give the son of Aclaim a big chance. Beautiful Diamond is an obvious threat having been placed in the Queen Mary and not beaten far at all in the Lowther last time. Queen's Guard rates best of the rest.

PUROSANGE was going the right way prior to a slight blip when only second in a listed contest at York last time and, with the ground likely to come in his favour, he takes preference over Beautiful Diamond, who is closely matched with the selection on form. Queen's Guard is the type to do better still and looks an interesting outsider.

Beautiful Diamond is not opposed lightly but PUROSANGUE's proven ability on soft ground swings the pendulum in his favour.

3	6 3rd (6) (11/2 +61%) Machiavellian Lady	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(6) Machiavellian Lady 11/2, Foaled March 14. 40,000 gns yearling, Too Darn Hot filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 5f winner Saaheq and winner up to 1m Saxon King, both useful. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 1m. Yard capable of readying a newcomer. Half-sister to five winners and from a yard that houses some smart 2yos.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 +33%) Snafiya	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) Snafiya 4/1, Made a bright start for current yard, winning minor events at Doncaster and Thirsk (both 6f) in the space of a week in July. Ran poorly on nursery debut, but soon back on track when third at Goodwood last time. Can give another good account upped in trip. Has to concede weight to opposition with greater scope for improvement.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/1 -56%) Lokana	7 7/1(-56%)	(5) Lokana 7/1, Showed improved form upped in trip when third of 14 in minor event at Leicester (7f) 10 days ago, leading until final 1f having travelled fluently. Has progressed with each run so far and can make her presence felt. Unlikely to be far away but vulnerable to something with proper potential.

LTO Selection:

Serene Seraph was over five lengths clear of the third when runner-up at Salisbury and she could progress once again. However, INVERSION is related to a few high-class winners, including a filly who formed the final leg of a treble in this race for this stable in 2020, and the daughter of Frankel could be primed for a bold showing on debut. Snafiya was a fair third in a nursery at Goodwood on her latest outing and she also enters the reckoning.

SERENE SERAPH has shaped well when placed both starts so far, beaten only by a good prospect at Salisbury 15 days ago, so she looks ready to open her account this time around. The biggest threat could be Lokana, who continued her progress upped to 7f on her latest outing, while Snafiya bounced back to form last time and can give her running again.

Inversion is an intriguing newcomer but SERENE SERAPH has hinted at Group-race potential in her two defeats.

LTO Selection:

HONEY I'M GOOD has only won over fences to date, including here in July, and reverting to hurdles looks an intriguing move. She may have had only two starts over timber, but this looks like an ideal opportunity to score. The capable Astroman can give her the most to think about, while Ben Lilly returned from a long absence with a respectable effort at Worcester recently and he is open to improvement.

BEN LILLY showed plenty of ability remains after a year off the track when third at Worcester recently and with that outing sure to have blown away any cobwebs, David Pipe's 6-y-o gets the vote to open his account in this sphere. Presenting Yeats is not the most reliable of customers, but he can give the selection most to think about, with Honey I'm Good rounding off the shortlist back over the smaller obstacles.

Last year's third BEN LILLY returns after a good recent effort and stable conditional Gearoid Harney claims a very useful 8lb.

Booking of O'Keeffe a plus so she's no forlorn hope. Modest form in maidens, no impression when 50-1 at Tramore in her first handicap.

LTO Selection:

PUNK ROCK GIRL who ran her best race to date when third at Bangor earlier this month is sure to have been laid out for this meeting. Given her local connections, which include Kerry senior footballer Paudie Clifford, the five-year-old mare will almost certainly be peaking at this time of year. A first-time tongue tie may have contributed to the improvement last time, so it's encouraging that that aid is retained now. Heart of Rome is a lightly raced gelding who should be capable of playing a leading role in a moderate affair such as this. The Paul Nolan-trained representative was third at Down Royal on his latest start. Dunleer Phoenix, another to reach the frame on his most recent outing, is one who should also be involved.

HEART OF ROME posted an improved effort when third at Down Royal and remains with few miles on the clock so gets the nod in an open-looking handicap. Punk Rock Girl rates the chief threat on the back of her excellent Bangor third, although both Meehall and Glorious Singer need factoring in too.

A switch to Terence O'Brien's yard seems to have done the trick for STELLAR SYMPHONY who gets the vote to follow up her Kilbeggan win

LTO Selection:

QUEEN ME has only competed at the highest level this year, with her best effort possibly coming in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, where she was not beaten far into sixth. The daughter of Dubawi steps into much calmer waters and she can gain a well-deserved second career success. Funny Story (second) had Gale Force Maya (fourth) behind when only denied by a neck at Pontefract and can go well once more. Sophia's Starlight has had a cracking season and could also mount a bold bid.

A few with chances. MARINE WAVE shaped really well when third in a York handicap last time so at the likely odds is worth siding with to take this step up in class in her stride. Funny Story also arrives at the top of her game and is feared greatly along with form-choice Queen Me, who acquitted hersel well in York's Nunthorpe Stakes last time out.

The 3yo MARINE WAVE was runner-up in a warm Listed race here in June and is the selection on the back of her unlucky third at York.

Makes handicap debut over 7f and that could do the trick. Has been shaping well in novices and one to bear in mind now into handicaps.
2	8 2nd (8) (16/5 +47%) Ebt's Guard	3.2 16/5(+47%)	(8) Ebt's Guard 16/5, Improved again on nursery debut when third at Newcastle (7.1f) just over 3 weeks ago, nearest at the finish. Can continue his good work returned to turf. Not seen to best effect on nursery debut and that form has been boosted.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/2 +0%) Fusterlandia	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(3) Fusterlandia 9/2, Matched the pick of his efforts for Richard Hannon on handicap debut when runner-up at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago, no match for winner. Makes plenty of appeal upped in trip. Engaged 3.20 Yarmouth Thursday. Off the same mark as when second to an improver at Hamilton.
4	7 4th (7) (9/2 +31%) Commander Crouch	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(7) Commander Crouch 9/2, Has been improving for racing lately and took another step forward to get off the mark on all-weather debut at Southwell (7.1f) 9 days ago, edging ahead close home. 5-lb claimer offsets most of a 6 lb penalty and there's every chance he will be in the mix again back on turf. Well handicapped on his Southwell win but he's bred to be very effective on synthetics.
5th	5 5th (5) (3/1 +63%) Innvincible Friend	3 3/1(+63%)	(5) Innvincible Friend 3/1, Opened his account at Chester in June and best effort since was runner-up back there a month later. Finished mid-field at York last month and this return to softer conditions should be in his having a first go at 7f. Exposed but it was a very strong handicap at York in which he finished seventh.

LTO Selection:

JUBILEE WALK had Boyfriend back in fourth when scoring over 6f at Salisbury and the son of Study Of Man should have plenty more to come on only his fourth start. He makes his nursery debut off a rating of 85, which could underestimate his ability. Fusterlandia started life with Dominic Ffrench Davis by finishing runner-up to a progressive filly at Hamilton and he can go well off the same mark. Commander Crouch was successful at Southwell last week and he could have a say again, despite his penalty.

Richard Hannon saddles a third of the field and his BOYFRIEND could be the one worth siding with having again left the impression that there may be better to come when fourth at Salisbury (1m) recently. Now heading into nurseries, this first try at 7f could well do the trick. Stablemate Liv My Life can give him most to think about, while last year's winning trainer Dominic Ffrench Davis saddles Fusterlandia and he's also fancied to be in the mix.

A good nursery and an open one. The suggestion is EBT'S GUARD who was not seen to best effect when third in his first nursery.

1	2 1st (2) (1.75/1 -7%) Presenting Nelly	1.75 1.75/1(-7%)	(2) Presenting Nelly 1.75/1, Fair bumper winner who has got better with each start over hurdles, getting off the mark in decisive fashion at Worcester (2½m) 10 days ago. Shorter trip asks a different question but still looks sure to go well. Makes quick reappearance after 10l win at Worcester (2m4f) this month; obvious contender.
2	1 2nd (1) (0.62/1 +32%) Manimole	0.62 0.62/1(+32%)	(1) Manimole 0.62/1, Hasn't finished out of the first 2 in 6 outings in similar events this season, winning over 2m at Worcester in June and Southwell 15 days ago. Did it easily at latter and can defy the double penalty. Consistent mare who doubled her hurdling tally with huge-margin success this month.
3	4 3rd (4) (66/1 +34%) Nathan Walker	66 66/1(+34%)	(4) Nathan Walker 66/1, Modest form at best in 4 bumpers in 2022 so hardly strikes as a likely one to make a winning start over hurdles. Down the field in all three completed bumpers last year; best watched on hurdling debut.
4	3 4th (3) (10/1 -25%) Chantilly Rose	10 10/1(-25%)	(3) Chantilly Rose 10/1, Showed some promise when third in a Southwell bumper for Peter Niven in spring 2022 but hasn't been seen since. Has had wind surgery ahead of this switch to hurdles for leading new yard. Harry Skelton on Presenting Nelly but still interesting to see what the betting makes of her. Promising third on bumper debut in spring 2022 but not seen again since.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (66/1 -164%) Upbeat Betty	66 66/1(-164%)	(6) Upbeat Betty 66/1, 11/1, fifth of 6 in bumper at Southwell (2m, good to firm) on debut 88 days ago. Watching brief is advised switched to hurdles unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Not beaten far when fifth of six on bumper debut but much more will be needed here.

LTO Selection:

A model of consistency, having not been outside the first two in her last six starts, MANIMOLE sets the standard on the back of an easy success at Southwell earlier in the month. Presenting Nelly arrives with similar claims following her own victory at Worcester, though that was over further and dropping back in trip may not be ideal. A promising third on her debut, Chantilly Rose has since moved to the Dan Skelton yard and is one to monitor for market support.

It's likely this will develop into a straight fight between previous hurdle winners MANIMOLE and Presenting Nelly, with the fact the former has gained her victories around this trip earning her the vote.

Presenting Nelly is not opposed lightly but MANIMOLE ran her rivals ragged from the front a fortnight ago and might dominate again.

1	4 1st (4) (40/1 +20%) Another Nightmare	40 40/1(+20%)	(4) Another Nightmare 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Good seventh of 12 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Wexford (24f, soft) 21 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Uphill task at these weights, though. Twice placed in points, does not appear particularly well treated for her first handicap.

Creditable second of 13 in handicap hurdle (3/1) at Killarney (20.2f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Not taken lightly. Progressing from a low base of late, Tramore winner before beaten 13l at Killarney.

Significantly back up in trip. Made some late headway at Downpatrick and may have needed that outing after a break.
5th	12 5th (12) (25/1 +0%) Father Jed	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Father Jed 25/1, Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in July. Sixth of 14 in handicap chase (13/2) at Ballinrobe (23f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and one to consider. Winner of seven of his 36 hurdling starts, retains ability but others have stronger claims.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (13/2 -86%) Spring Street	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(1) Spring Street 13/2, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Career best when winning 17-runner handicap hurdle (20/1) at Down Royal (24f, good to soft) 21 days ago, driven out. Needs considering. Proved his stamina when winning over this trip at Down Royal, rider's claim is an asset.
17	17 \|F\| (17) (17/2 +58%) Gigantamax Eevee	8.5 17/2(+58%)	(17) Gigantamax Eevee 17/2, Ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) 40 days ago. Lots to find on form. Never better than fourth so far, has time on her side but needs to show improvement.
6	6 \|U\| (6) (22/1 +67%) Jeriko De Baune	22 22/1(+67%)	(6) Jeriko De Baune 22/1, 22/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.8f, good) 39 days ago. Others appeal more. Made a bad mistake at the first when tried over a staying trip at Ballinrobe, stiff task.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (4/1 -45%) Ballagh Star	4 4/1(-45%)	(5) Ballagh Star 4/1, 13/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, excellent second of 17 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.2f, soft) 11 days ago. Improving all the time recently so he's a player. Has slotted into handicaps quite effectively, holds leading chance after second at Galway.
15	15 \|PU\| (15) (7/1 -17%) Miss Laura	7 7/1(-17%)	(15) Miss Laura 7/1, 16/1, very good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Merits consideration. Showed notable improvement when second over 2m6f at Ballinrobe last month, each-way chance.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (7/1 +0%) Jesina	7 7/1(+0%)	(2) Jesina 7/1, Winner in hurdle at Ballinrobe in July. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Sligo (25.4f, good to soft) 30 days ago. In the mix. Has shown a fair degree of consistency since joining this stable, each-way prospects.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (14/1 -17%) Roman Parish	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Roman Parish 14/1, Respectable eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.2f, soft, 15/2) 11 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. 0-13 hurdling, has failed to build on his second at Downpatrick in three subsequent runs.
18	18 \|PU\| (18) (14/1 +13%) Red Finch	14 14/1(+13%)	(18) Red Finch 14/1, Creditable eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.2f, soft, 17/2) 11 days ago. Trainer going well but remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. 0-17, mid-field both starts this season, hard to fancy despite stable's good current form.
19	19 \|PU\| (19) (20/1 -100%) Millies Dream	20 20/1(-100%)	(19) Millies Dream 20/1, Thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. RESERVE First reserve, fourth at Sligo in July was mildly promising, overall form is weak.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (40/1 +0%) Hees Dynamite	40 40/1(+0%)	(3) Hees Dynamite 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (150/1) at Ballinrobe (22.8f, good) 39 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Ordinary form in maidens, huge price when in rear in his first handicap, tongue-tie now.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (66/1 -164%) Masterstonemason	66 66/1(-164%)	(13) Masterstonemason 66/1, 200/1, last of 6 in minor event hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Up in trip. Two wins over 2m, the latest early last year at Limerick, generally modest form since then.
16	16 \|PU\| (16) (66/1 +0%) Coppercoast Paudie	66 66/1(+0%)	(16) Coppercoast Paudie 66/1, Well-beaten thirteenth of 17 to Close Enough in handicap hurdle at Limerick (22f, soft, 125/1) 57 days ago. Very lightly raced since showing some ability in 2020, no worthwhile form of late..

LTO Selection:

SPRING STREET can make it back-to-back wins having registered a first career success at Down Royal earlier this month. The five-year-old was subsequently raised 6lbs for that victory but the hike is largely offset by the excellent Danny Gilligan taking 5lb off now. In a race where very few come into it in any sort of meaningful recent form, the Champs Elysses gelding holds strong claims. Local trainer Eoin McCarthy always targets this particular meeting so his Jesina is an obvious contender. A winner at Ballinrobe in July, the former Jessica Harrington-trained mare was brought down on her next start, before running creditably at Sligo last time. Mr Social has been running consistently of late but needs to prove his stamina for this distance.

This looks wide open but the improving BALLAGH STAR looks the way to go on the back of his excellent Galway second last time out. Roman Parish is weighted to have a big say and next on the list ahead of in-form pair Miss Laura and Mr Social.

This looks like a good opportunity for BALLAGH STAR (nap) who made most of the running when losing out narrowly over 2m6f at Galway

4	4 (4) (10/1 +17%) Yaaser	10 10/1(+17%)	(4) Yaaser 10/1, Course winner. Career best when readily landing 12-runner handicap at Southwell (7f) 9 days ago. Deserted by Paul Mulrennan this time but still respected under a 5 lb penalty. Wins at 7f-plus but a fast-run race in a big field over 6f could play to his strengths.
6	6 (6) (16/1 -14%) Harry's Halo	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) Harry's Halo 16/1, Runner-up twice in 6f handicaps in the mud in July. Not seen to best effect when fifth of 9 at Pontefract last month and treated as if still in form. This 3-y-o is one of the least exposed in the line-up. Lightly raced 3yo who could resume his progressive ways when back on a slow surface.
1	3 1st (3) (15/2 +38%) Ascot Adventure	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(3) Ascot Adventure 15/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022 but that doesn't tell the full story as there have been plenty of good placed efforts since joining this yard. Capable of having a say. Races over 7f in the main but a strong pace in this big field can see him to good effect.
2	11 2nd (11) (13/2 +28%) Cold Stare	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(11) Cold Stare 13/2, Has drawn a blank in 25 starts since scoring over C&D (soft) in autumn 2021 but his latest close third at Doncaster (6f, heavy) was creditable. Could have a big say if the ground goes soft. Winless since October 2021 but went very close at Doncaster latest and he likes it here.
3	7 3rd (7) (22/1 -57%) Jordan Electrics	22 22/1(-57%)	(7) Jordan Electrics 22/1, C&D winner. Bounced back to form when winning 11-runner handicap at Carlisle (5f, good) at the start of this month and backed that up when a creditable third of 14 at Southwell (6f) since. 5 lb penalty. Creditable fifth last season and has won three times this year; might not be far away.
4	24 4th (24) (14/1 +30%) Sir Maxi	14 14/1(+30%)	(24) Sir Maxi 14/1, Has done well over 6f in recent months, including a win at Pontefract in July. Placed at York and Pontefract since then and simply found things happening too quickly down at 5f for the first time here on Thursday. Should find this more suitable if turned out quickly. Outpaced when mid-division over 5f here yesterday; not written off now back up in trip.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 +36%) Ghathanfar	14 14/1(+36%)	(9) Ghathanfar 14/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to soft, 5/1) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Continues to drop down weights but has to produce more than he's managed on last few runs.
6th	12 6th (12) (33/1 +0%) Catch Cunningham	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Catch Cunningham 33/1, Turned in best effort of the campaign from a tumbling mark when fourth at Ripon last month but he failed to build on it at Doncaster last Sunday. Well handicapped but back to having something to prove following Doncaster last Sunday.
7th	13 7th (13) (40/1 +20%) Borough	40 40/1(+20%)	(13) Borough 40/1, Pair of 5f wins this summer, the first one here. Another solid run when second at Catterick (5f) last month but his run of good form came to a halt at Carlisle 3 weeks ago and he was also well held here on Thursday. Won twice this summer but below par the last twice, most recently here yesterday.
8th	14 8th (14) (40/1 -82%) B Associates	40 40/1(-82%)	(14) B Associates 40/1, Has proved a real money-spinner this year, producing a career best to notch his fifth win of the campaign in 7f Carlisle handicap last month. Creditable third back there (7f again) since. Just as effective at 6f. His penalty puts him on a career-high mark. 3yo who has won five times this year, mainly at 7f but once over 6f; has a chance.
9th	1 9th (1) (11/2 +21%) Rock Melody	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(1) Rock Melody 11/2, Hold up performer who scored twice over 5f at Musselburgh this summer and arrives on the back of a creditable runner-up effort there last weekend. Just as effective over 6f (third of 16 over C&D in July) and the mount of Paul Mulrennan from the Goldie contingent. Two wins this year and has also posted an eyecatching 3rd of 16 over C&D; respected.
10th	15 10th (15) (25/1 -14%) Trabajo Detecho	25 25/1(-14%)	(15) Trabajo Detecho 25/1, Two AW wins at Newcastle at the start of the year and went in again Hamilton (6f) in July. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (7f, soft) 9 days ago. This is more competitive than he's used to but not ruled out each-way now back down to 6f.
11th	22 11th (22) (25/1 -25%) After John	25 25/1(-25%)	(22) After John 25/1, Racked up an AW hat-trick at Newcastle at the end of 2022. Went close to another win there in February but it's hard to get too excited by his recent turf efforts. A couple of fair efforts on turf this summer but now 2-31 on grass; others more compelling.
12th	18 12th (18) (18/1 -13%) Asadjumeirah	18 18/1(-13%)	(18) Asadjumeirah 18/1, Twenty seven runs since last win in 2022 but most recent efforts have been creditable, including his fourth of 11 at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago, never nearer. Can make presence felt. On a long losing run and will need everything to drop right, but often runs well in defeat.
13th	21 13th (21) (12/1 +25%) Kats Bob	12 12/1(+25%)	(21) Kats Bob 12/1, C&D winner on soft in July. Ran well enough to think he's still in good form when fourth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, soft) on Monday. Two big runs over C&D in the summer and could give a good account now back here.
14th	2 14th (2) (15/2 +6%) Music Society	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(2) Music Society 15/2, Won this race in 2019 and a respectable sixth in it last year. Another good run over C&D when second of 16 in July and he's capable of bouncing back from a below-par effort at Newmarket last month. 2 lb below his last winning mark. Won this in 2019 and he's one to consider judged on his close second over C&D this July.
15th	23 15th (23) (50/1 -52%) Shallow Hal	50 50/1(-52%)	(23) Shallow Hal 50/1, C&D winner. Got his head back in front at Carlisle in July but his 3 runs since have been disappointing. Due to run in the 5.17 here on Thursday. Won at Carlisle in July but well beaten on next four starts, the latest here yesterday.
16th	5 16th (5) (22/1 -22%) Novak	22 22/1(-22%)	(5) Novak 22/1, Final leg of a hat-trick in May/June came over C&D but the handicapper has been winning the argument since. Won three in a row in May/June but unplaced on last three starts.
17th	10 17th (10) (33/1 +0%) Show Me Show Me	33 33/1(+0%)	(10) Show Me Show Me 33/1, Reacted well to the fitting of a visor when winning over 5f at Beverley and Windsor in August but his 2 runs since suggest the effects of the headgear have worn off. Won two in a row last month but has finished down the field the last twice.
18th	20 18th (20) (40/1 -21%) Bellagio Man	40 40/1(-21%)	(20) Bellagio Man 40/1, Visored first time, ran poorly when eighth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 48 days ago. Regular cheekpieces back on now. On a reduced mark but needs something extra to return to winning ways in this warm contest.
19th	25 19th (25) (33/1 +34%) Claim The Stars	33 33/1(+34%)	(25) Claim The Stars 33/1, Finally got off the mark in a 15-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) in June but hasn't reproduced that form in 3 outings since, including last of 13 at Redcar on Tuesday. Off the mark at the 20th attempt at Thirsk in June but has failed to kick on from that.
20th	8 20th (8) (17/2 +39%) Little Muddy	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(8) Little Muddy 17/2, Started the season with wins at Doncaster (5f, heavy) and over C&D (good) and showed he's still in form when second of 11 at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) last month. Any easing of the ground would increase his chance. Two wins this spring & some good form this summer, also; every chance she'll be in the mix.

LTO Selection:

A typically wide-open renewal in which chances can be made for plenty. Jordan Electrics was fifth in this 12 months ago and looks to be peaking at the right time in order to mount another stern challenge. Ascot Adventure has been in consistent form and could go well coming off a strong pace, along with stablemate Cold Stare. ASADJUMEIRAH finished sixth in the Silver Trophy at Ripon last month and is 13lb lower than when finishing a creditable 10th in last year's Silver Cup. He shades preference, while Kats Bob and Little Muddy are just two others to consider.

2019 winner MUSIC SOCIETY underlined he's well suited to this C&D when second in another big-field race in July and looks handicapped to strike having dropped 3 lb in the meantime. Jim Goldie pair American Affair, who shaped very well when third over 5f here on Thursday, and Rock Melody head the many dangers. Cold Stare could also have a big run in him if the ground goes soft.

The filly ROCK MELODY (nap) returned to form at Musselburgh last Sunday and caught the eye in the Gold Cup Trial over C&D in July.

Closely related to 9f winner Gitane and half-brother to several winners, including useful 11f winner Gone By.

LTO Selection:

Richard Hannon is represented by two useful types in surprise Leicester scorer Blue Lemons and the improving HOUSTONN, with the latter marginally preferred in receipt of 6lb. The son of Expert Eye may have a lot more in the locker and can make it third-time lucky. Royal Supremacy, who also looks to have a bright future on the evidence of his Sandown win, is another to be interested in.

A novice with a rich history and this looks another decent renewal with 3 previous winners, but the one who makes the most appeal is HOUSTONN, who pulled clear of the rest when only just failing to reel in the hot favourite at Salisbury. C&D winner King's Gambit, has plenty of scope and is next best ahead of Blue Lemons.

This will take some winning but there was lots to like about how KING'S GAMBIT went about his business here a month ago.

1	3 1st (3) (5/6 +49%) Janeslittlevoice	0.833333 5/6(+49%)	(3) Janeslittlevoice 5/6, Poor maiden hurdler but has shown she can be competitive from her basement mark over fences when runner-up in handicaps at Fontwell (twice) and this C&D in recent weeks. Ran big race in defeat over C&D 11 days ago and gets another chance off the same mark.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 -150%) Frankie Faulkner	2.5 5/2(-150%)	(1) Frankie Faulkner 5/2, Dual winner in points who confirmed the promise of his hurdles debut when landing 11-runner maiden at this track in July. Better effort over fences/handicaps when good third of 4 here (21f) 11 days ago and this is a much weaker race. Course winner over hurdles; sound effort when third over fences here 11 days ago; a player.
3	2 3rd (2) (15/2 +0%) Faitque De L'Isle	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(2) Faitque De L'Isle 15/2, Fair form over fences in France in 2020 and got off the mark for current yard at Ffos Las (23.8f) in October. Disappointing since, though. Game winner off 4lb higher last autumn but generally very disappointing since.
4	4 4th (4) (11/2 +45%) Dont Be Robin	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(4) Dont Be Robin 11/2, Scored at Plumpton in 2021 but well held on all 4 outings so far in 2023. Tongue strap on 1st time. Has lots to find from 4 lb out of the handicap. Out of form this year and needs first-time tongue-tie to aid his finishing effort.

LTO Selection:

Frankie Faulkner has offered enough in two appearances over fences to suggest that he can play a leading role in this modest contest, although Evan Williams' gelding does need to prove his stamina now beyond 3m for the first time. With that in mind, JANESLITTLEVOICE looks a more solid proposition. The nine-year-old found only a last-time-out winner too strong over C&D last week and a similar level of performance may suffice. Faitque De L'Isle can chase the duo home.

FRANKIE FAULKNER ran well when third here 11 days ago despite a mixed round of jumping and this longer trip/weaker opposition will help in that regard, so can defy top weight at the main expense of Janeslittlevoice, who can fill the runner-up spot for the fourth successive start.

Evan Williams' 6yo FRANKIE FAULKNER (nap) drops in grade after a good recent effort over 2m5f here and probably still has potential.

1	11 1st (11) (6/1 -118%) Cave Court	6 6/1(-118%)	(11) Cave Court 6/1, Ready winner of handicap hurdles on his last 2 outings. Never involved on his Downpatrick chase debut in May but he's very well treated judged on the recent hurdle efforts. Struggled in only previous chase but well handicapped on recent hurdle wins.
2	16 2nd (16) (10/1 +9%) Likable Chancer	10 10/1(+9%)	(16) Likable Chancer 10/1, One win from 36 NH runs. Winner in chase at Tramore in April. 5/2, pulled up in handicap chase at Tramore (15.7f, soft) 33 days ago, losing touch after 3 out. Bounce back needed. Followed his good run at Tipperary with a poor one at Tramore; now 1-36 overall.

4	8 4th (8) (5/1 +64%) Leish Oscars Son	5 5/1(+64%)	(8) Leish Oscars Son 5/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20.6f, good to soft, 5/2) 30 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Makes handicap chase debut. First handicap over fences; placed in his latest hurdle off 6lb lower.
5th	14 5th (14) (9/1 +18%) Kilashee	9 9/1(+18%)	(14) Kilashee 9/1, Unreliable individual. Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. Second of 14 in handicap chase (12/1) at Ballinrobe (23f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Course winner over hurdles; returned to form when 2nd in a recent handicap chase.
6th	9 6th (9) (10/1 +9%) Rebel Waltz	10 10/1(+9%)	(9) Rebel Waltz 10/1, 6/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.6f, soft) 21 days ago. Behind two of these at Wexford but can jump better than he did that day.
7th	6 7th (6) (7/2 +53%) Midnight It Is	3.5 7/2(+53%)	(6) Midnight It Is 7/2, Creditable third of 12 in handicap chase (9/2) at Wexford (19.6f, soft) 21 days ago, looking unlucky not to finish closer. Big player. Again hinted that he can win races off this chase mark when third at Wexford.
8th	5 8th (5) (28/1 -12%) Clonmeen	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Clonmeen 28/1, Pulled up in novice chase at Tipperary (23.8f, soft, 16/1) 141 days ago, tailed off when pulled up straight. Makes handicap chase debut. Flattered by his fourth in a Grade 3 last season; burst blood vessel the last time.
9th	12 9th (12) (16/1 +36%) Chainofconsequence	16 16/1(+36%)	(12) Chainofconsequence 16/1, Unreliable sort. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, below form eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Roscommon (21.3f, soft) 45 days ago. Some promise over fences but has performed poorly the last twice with and without headgear.
13	13 \|F\| (13) (50/1 +0%) Punters Poet	50 50/1(+0%)	(13) Punters Poet 50/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Clonmel (16.6f, good, 40/1) 15 days ago. Switches from Flat to chase. Poor on last hurdle run. Dual hurdle winner but lacks chasing experience (0-4) and doesn't arrive here in much form.
3	3 \|U\| (3) (6/1 -33%) Dancing Jeremy	6 6/1(-33%)	(3) Dancing Jeremy 6/1, Good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, soft, 10/3) 57 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Makes handicap chase debut. Steered clear of fences since his beginners' win in early 2022 but can be given a chance.
10th	1 10th (1) (25/1 -178%) Filon D'oudairies	25 25/1(-178%)	(1) Filon D'oudairies 25/1, Sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.8f, heavy, 11/1) 42 days ago. Has the form to feature but hard to be confident on the back of his recent efforts.
11th	2 11th (2) (22/1 +0%) Le Malin	22 22/1(+0%)	(2) Le Malin 22/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap chase (7/1) at Wexford (19.8f, heavy) 42 days ago. Needed to run better at Wexford last time (first handicap) to be a strong fancy for this.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (28/1 +44%) I Am Rocco	28 28/1(+44%)	(10) I Am Rocco 28/1, Seventh of 9 in novice chase (40/1) at Ballinrobe (23f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Tailed off in two beginners' chases for this yard and goes handicapping with much to prove.

LTO Selection:

CAVE COURT catches the eye reverting to fences off a mark which is 14lb lower than his hurdling rating. The Noel Kelly-trained six-year-old has won his last two starts in the latter discipline but remains totally unexposed as a chaser after just the sole run. Stepping up in distance could well bring about further improvement as he bids for a quick hat-trick. Dancing Jeremy also has the potential to progress over fences, given that he has only had the three starts. A winner at Cork last year for Tom Cooper, the grey has raced mainly over hurdles of late. Cahirdown Boy ran very well at Killarney last time given that the late change to soft ground was against him. The more it dries out the better the chance of the locally owned eight-year-old.

MIDNIGHT IT IS has a chase in him off this sort of mark judged on his latest Wexford third and is perhaps a more solid option than Cave Court, who is well treated judged on his recent hurdle exploits but does need to prove he's as good over fences. Pepperocco, who was a place in front of the selection at Wexford, and last week's Ballinrobe second Kilashee are others to consider.

Gavin Cromwell's LEISH OSCARS SON contests his first handicap over fences after a pleasing run at Sligo and he retains potential.

1	11 1st (11) (9/2 +47%) Yorkstone	4.5 9/2(+47%)	(11) Yorkstone 9/2, Showed improved form to get off the mark in 14-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 13/2) 48 days ago. 5 lb rise perfectly fair. Won at Doncaster last month and this 3yo may have more to offer.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 +31%) Cosmos Raj	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(1) Cosmos Raj 9/2, C&D winner who looked unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 12 in 1m handicap at Ripon (good) 24 days ago, finishing with running left. One to be interested in from same mark. C&D winner who was an unlucky fourth at Ripon last time and is respected.
3	12 3rd (12) (11/2 +78%) Time To Rumble	5.5 11/2(+78%)	(12) Time To Rumble 11/2, C&D winner in July but found less than seemed likely at Nottingham subsequently. Engaged 4.45 here Thursday. Won over C&D in July but not at the same level the next twice (including here yesterday).
4	10 4th (10) (6/1 +82%) Gracelands Girl	6 6/1(+82%)	(10) Gracelands Girl 6/1, Fair maiden who ran respectably when third of 11 in 1m handicap at Thirsk (8f, soft) 4 days ago. Ought to remain competitive if this doesn't come too soon. Fair 3rd at Thirsk on Monday but 0-13 & hard to be overly confident today will be the day.
5th	9 5th (9) (11/1 +45%) Arkenstaar	11 11/1(+45%)	(9) Arkenstaar 11/1, Landed back-to-back Hamilton handicaps in May and wasn't seen to best effect at Carlisle (9f, good) on most recent outing. Down to last winning mark but has to perform better than has been the case the last twice.
6th	13 6th (13) (14/1 +65%) Retirement Beckons	14 14/1(+65%)	(13) Retirement Beckons 14/1, 4-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year, latest at Carlisle in August. 7/1, not seen to best effect when fourth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago, meeting trouble over 2f out. Four-time C&D winner who was denied clear run at Hamilton last time; he's a possible.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/1 +21%) Soames Forsyte	11 11/1(+21%)	(3) Soames Forsyte 11/1, Fair maiden who followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when eighth of 15 in minor event (12/1) at Doncaster (8f, good) 5 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Close third at Beverley last month but below par the last twice and is now 0-14.
8th	4 8th (4) (15/2 +38%) Pol Roger	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(4) Pol Roger 15/2, Benefited from the application of headgear when hitting the frame in a trio of handicaps in July/August. Well held at Ripon on most recent outing but was reported to be coughing post-race. Running well in defeat prior to lesser effort at Ripon, where found to be coughing after.
9th	14 9th (14) (18/1 +45%) Zebra Star	18 18/1(+45%)	(14) Zebra Star 18/1, Ran below form on first run since leaving Amy Murphy when sixth in 7-runner handicap at this course (10f, good, 28/1) 41 days ago, going off too hard. Hood back on. Could benefit from the return to 1m and reapplication of a hood on second stable start.
10th	7 10th (7) (28/1 -40%) Kelpie Grey	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) Kelpie Grey 28/1, Fair maiden handicapper who has been below his best the last twice. Needs to have benefited from a break. Runner-up here in May but has failed to shine on his three starts since and is now 0-8.
11th	2 11th (2) (12/1 -71%) Bicep	12 12/1(-71%)	(2) Bicep 12/1, Successful at Musselburgh in May and returned to form from out of the blue when second of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, soft) 9 days ago. His task is to now back that up. Went close over 7f at Carlisle recently; possible player if seeing out this new trip.
12th	5 12th (5) (33/1 -106%) Big Bad Wolf	33 33/1(-106%)	(5) Big Bad Wolf 33/1, Shaped promisingly on Beverley debut a year ago but down the field all 3 starts this year. Not well treated on last two runs but promise previously; check betting on handicap debut.
13th	8 13th (8) (28/1 -100%) Pembrokeshire	28 28/1(-100%)	(8) Pembrokeshire 28/1, 28/1, shaped encouragingly on first run since leaving William Jarvis when fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago, travelling best until finding his stamina running dry. Eased 2 lb and must enter the reckoning. Ran okay when fourth on stable debut (7f, AW) but needs to prove his stamina for 1m.

LTO Selection:

YORKSTONE took a little while to get on the scoresheet but he showed his appreciation for testing conditions when successful over 7f at Doncaster. The way he powered to the line suggested that he won't have a problem with the extra furlong, and he can double up. Ayr regular Retirement Beckons must be considered closely, while Gracelands Girl produced a better effort at Thirsk on Monday. Cosmos Raj has to enter the equation too.

A competitive event with the vote going to COSMOS RAJ, who left the firm impression he'd have been right in the mix with more luck in running at Thirsk last time. Pembrokeshire shaped encouragingly on his recent yard debut at Newcastle and should tighten up for the outing, with Doncaster-scorer Yorkstone another to take seriously.

Having been in good form prior to Ripon last time, when he had an excuse (found to be coughing), POL ROGER can exploit a reduced mark.

1	4 1st (4) (12/1 +25%) Popmaster	12 12/1(+25%)	(4) Popmaster 12/1, Back in top form this year, scoring over 6f at Ascot in July and excellent second in 7f handicap there 13 days ago. Enters calculations once more. Something to find but arrives in excellent heart and is not ruled out.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/11 +20%) Aldaary	0.727273 8/11(+20%)	(1) Aldaary 8/11, Very smart handicapper in 2021, winning brace of big-field contests at Ascot. Listed winner sole start in 2022 but not in the same form so far this term. Has the class if he can put it all together for last year's winning yard. Group 2 runner-up in July and holds leading claims now back down in trip.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 -13%) Al Mubhir	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(2) Al Mubhir 9/2, Progressive last year and improved again to win 1m Leicester handicap in April. Has posted 3 sound efforts since, latest when faring best of those held up (eighth of 20) in Golden Mile at Goodwood. Goes really well on a soft surface and is a player for yard with a very good record in this event. Endured trouble in running in Golden Mile H'cap; could be involved now back in Listed race.
4	5 4th (5) (22/1 +21%) Rodaballo	22 22/1(+21%)	(5) Rodaballo 22/1, Useful in Spain with seven of his 8 career victories at Madrid (including on soft ground). Not discredited in three runs at Meydan earlier this year but well below par in Hungerford over C&D last time. Others appeal more. Spanish-trained 6yo who may be a shade vulnerable judged on this year's evidence.
5th	3 5th (3) (4/1 +27%) Biggles	4 4/1(+27%)	(3) Biggles 4/1, Second in the Victoria Cup at Ascot in the spring and took his form up another when landing Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f) in July. Not at his best in the International at Ascot and Park Stake at Doncaster since so has a bit to prove. Bunbury Cup winner; fair fourth of five in recent Group 2; respected now in Listed race.
6th	8 6th (8) (50/1 -79%) American Kestrel	50 50/1(-79%)	(8) American Kestrel 50/1, C&D winner. Back with former yard now and not disgraced in the face of a stiff task when fourth of 6 in Prix de Meautry at Deauville (6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. No forlorn hope. Improved form when fourth of six in French Group 3 latest but needs another step forward.
7th	6 7th (6) (22/1 -22%) The Wizard Of Eye	22 22/1(-22%)	(6) The Wizard Of Eye 22/1, Signed off 2022 with a listed success at Kempton and back on song of late, fifth of 10 in 1m Ascot handicap last month. Couldn't rule out here. AW Listed win last year; respectable runs in h'caps this summer but needs something extra.

LTO Selection:

ALDAARY has posted some creditable efforts in Group company, most recently when fourth in the Sussex Stakes, and looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to gain a first success of the season now dropped to Listed level. Streets Of Gold shouldn't be far away if judged strictly on the ratings, with the three-year-old likely to appreciate the return to 7f. Biggles ran as well as expected when finishing fourth in the Park Stakes at Doncaster last weekend and he completes the shortlist.

William Haggas took this event 12 months ago and looks to have a strong hand once more with preference for his reliable and mud-loving 4-y-o AL MUBHIR over form-pick Aldaary, who has yet to show his best so far this term. Biggles and Streets of Gold appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Having been second in the Group 2 Summer Mile at Ascot in July, this could be a good opportunity for ALDAARY to return to winning ways.

Back up in trip and will go on improving as his jumping sharpens up with experience. Back up in trip after easy 2m win at Galway 11 days ago; ought to be very hard to beat.

Dam, 17f hurdle winner in France, half-sister to useful hurdler (stays 2¼m) Gin Coco. Maiden Irish pointer, fell last time (Mar 5). 0-5 in Irish points and seemingly up against it on this rules debut.

LTO Selection:

Willie Mullins sends his first runner to this venue in ALVANIY and the five-year-old is hard to oppose given the level that he achieved on his recent Galway success. Wonderful Eagle was useful on the Flat in Germany and displayed a good attitude when getting up to win over an extended 2m2f here last month. The Adlerflug gelding will need to improve to complete a double but merits respect, with Thirtyfour Thirty one to note on his hurdling debut.

ALVANIY proved a class apart in a Galway maiden 11 days ago and could take a bit of stopping under a penalty, especially with further progress on the cards. Wonderful Eagle overcame mistakes to make a successful debut in this sphere here last month and is potentially above average, too.

LTO Selection:

BARNACULLIA can turn the tables on his Galway conqueror Fighting Fit at these revised weights. The Michael Mulvaney-trained gelding has been busy on the flat subsequently, finishing second at Bellewstown before running fifth in the Ulster Cesarewitch. While he has had a long season, if on song, the six-year-old looks the most likely winner. Fighting Fit had been out of form prior to his festival success last month but will be a serious threat if repeating that Galway effort. Punters are sure to pile in on the gelding ridden by local jockey Gavin Brouder. Roseys Hollow is well handicapped over fences relative to her hurdles form but has yet to exploit what is almost certainly a lenient mark.

The vote goes to BARNACULLIA, who pulled well clear of the rest when beaten ½-length by the re-opposing Fighting Fit on his latest start in this sphere at Galway last month. He meets that rival on better terms here and has been in good heart on the Flat in recent weeks. Fighting Fit should again take a hand in the finish if able to back up his Galway effort, while Irish Blaze is also shortlisted.

Kept busy with three runs on the Flat since finishing second to Fighting Fit at Galway, BARNACULLIA is tipped to reverse that form.

1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +60%) Ayr Poet	4 4/1(+60%)	(4) Ayr Poet 4/1, 4-time course winner. Latest win here in August. Good second of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good, 8/1) 22 days ago. In the picture once more. Dual course winner this summer and ran right up to best when second at Carlisle last time.
2	11 2nd (11) (13/2 +7%) Zumaaty	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(11) Zumaaty 13/2, C&D winner. 8/1, good third of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago, nearest finish. Can go well again. Back in good form on latest outing and testing ground will make him of strong interest.
3	1 3rd (1) (17/2 +47%) Dandy Maestro	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(1) Dandy Maestro 17/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time/cheekpieces back on. Every chance if back to best. Second on soft ground in May but generally disappointing this season; new headgear tried.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 +55%) Tuscan	9 9/1(+55%)	(2) Tuscan 9/1, Last of 9 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 12/1) 20 days ago. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Unplaced all eight starts for new stable this year and needs to turn a corner.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/2 +63%) Alpine Sierra	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(3) Alpine Sierra 9/2, C&D winner who got back on track when third of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 21 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off an easing mark. C&D winner on seasonal debut in June and seemingly back on the groove on latest outing.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/1 +39%) Little Ted	11 11/1(+39%)	(7) Little Ted 11/1, Unreliable sort. Latest win at Ripon in August. Fair third of 5 in handicap at Ripon (10.9f, good, 11/4) 25 days ago. Back down in trip. Others appeal more. Engaged Ayr 4.10 Thursday. Two wins this summer; on fairly tough mark now; dropped out here yesterday.
7th	12 7th (12) (10/1 +17%) Chinese Spirit	10 10/1(+17%)	(12) Chinese Spirit 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in August. Good third of 6 in handicap (9/2) at Musselburgh (8f, good to soft) 6 days ago, left poorly placed. Ought to be in the shake-up. Arrives in decent form but will probably find younger rivals better handicapped.
8th	10 8th (10) (16/1 +0%) Carlton	16 16/1(+0%)	(10) Carlton 16/1, Posted his best effort since joining current yard when fourth of 8 in handicap (50/1) at Carlisle (7.8f, soft) 9 days ago. Not dismissed if building on it. Initially very disappointing for new stable this summer but latest run was much better.
9th	13 9th (13) (28/1 +15%) Rogue Force	28 28/1(+15%)	(13) Rogue Force 28/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Below-par third of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, soft, 11/2) 5 days ago. Has work to do. Didn't run badly at Musselburgh on Sunday, but that was just a 0-55 contest.
10th	8 10th (8) (16/1 -14%) Tremendous Times	16 16/1(-14%)	(8) Tremendous Times 16/1, 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive. Ran big race in defeat at Carlisle in July but two lesser efforts have followed.
11th	5 11th (5) (8/1 +56%) Destined	8 8/1(+56%)	(5) Destined 8/1, Winner at Redcar in May. 6/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 21 days ago. Needs considering. Yet to run a bad race after seven starts and this step up in trip is well worth a go.
12th	6 12th (6) (12/1 +25%) No Barrier	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) No Barrier 12/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good, 17/2) 41 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Disappointed last time and now 0-12 but went close off this mark on penultimate start.
13th	14 13th (14) (20/1 +39%) Two Rivers	20 20/1(+39%)	(14) Two Rivers 20/1, Unreliable type. Good fifth of 14 in handicap (11/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 11 days ago, not clear run. Back down in trip. Others have still achieved more. 11-race maiden; recent efforts offer come hope but he's not the percentage call here.

LTO Selection:

Jim Goldie holds a leading hand, with his two C&D winners Ayr Poet and ALPINE SIERRA likely to be at the forefront of the market. The latter edges the vote having returned to form when finishing a close-up third at Carlisle and he races off 1lb lower here. His stablemate has already won twice at this venue this season and should go well again, while No Barrier shouldn't be far away if freshened up by a short break.

ALPINE SIERRA signalled he's ready to go in again when third at Carlisle last time and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark here at the chief expense of C&D winner Chinese Spirit. In-form duo Zumaaty and Ayr Poet appeal as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

The recent rain is a big positive for ZUMAATY, who recently signalled a return to form at Hamilton.

Dam unraced, out of useful 2-y-o 6f winner Cherokee. 16/1, fifth of 9 in novice at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 16 days ago.

7th	14 7th (14) (22/1 -10%) Garden View	22 22/1(-10%)	(14) Garden View 22/1, Foaled March 5. Invincible Army filly.

Dam, French 7f winner, closely related to smart winner up to 6.5f Arecibo. Fourth of 14 in novice at this C&D (40/1) on debut 14 days ago. Should have more to offer. Some way off the front three on his C&D debut; is entitled to improve but does need to.

May well do better. Long way below market expectations on his 6f debut and needs huge improvement on that.

LTO Selection:

GRAND KARAT took a step forward when third at Haydock last time and the first two home from that contest have both earned black-type subsequently. With that in mind, the son of Gleneagles merits the utmost respect here. That said, Military Leader has to be of interest on his racecourse bow given that he is a half-brother to the Group 1-placed Sounds Of Heaven and connections parted with 1,500,000gns to purchase him as a yearling. Orne and Imperial Guard are other interesting newcomers, while Dark Viper completes the shortlist.

GRAND KARAT stepped up on debut when third behind a couple of now useful sorts at Haydock 6 week ago and can put his experience to good use from stall 1. Orne holds an entry for the Futurity Trophy at Doncaster so is a newcomer to note while Dubawi-colt Military Leader is another likely type having fetched 1,500,000 guineas as a yearling.

1,500,000gns yearling Military Leader could be up to the job but GRAND KARAT, whose Haydock third is rock solid, sets the standard.

1	8 1st (8) (5/1 +50%) Flash Bardot	5 5/1(+50%)	(8) Flash Bardot 5/1, Successful over this trip at Epsom in July. Creditable placed efforts on her next 3 outings but she needs to shrug off a lesser run at Bath last time. Form dipped on latest start, but for which she'd have reasonable each-way claims.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 +21%) Shagpyle	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(4) Shagpyle 11/2, Half-sister to connections' King George winner Pyledriver who made a winning start to her career at Ascot (1¼m, soft; Rocha Do Leao behind in third) in May. Similar form in novices around this trip since and brings unexposed potential to this handicap debut after 8 weeks off. Half-sister to high-class Pyledriver; needs better on this handicap debut but early days.
3	6 3rd (6) (6/4 -20%) Esmeray	1.5 6/4(-20%)	(6) Esmeray 6/4, Promising Sea The Moon filly who has improved with each start, placed on first 2 before making it third time lucky in 1¼m Ffos Las maiden (soft) last month. Likely more to come now handicapping over further. Maiden win latest; shapes as if 1m4f will help with further improvement, so should go well.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 -13%) Market Value	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(3) Market Value 9/2, Landed 9-runner maiden at Ripon (1¼m, good to firm) in May. No disgrace in finding the thriving Sparks Fly too strong on her Chester handicap debut 6 weeks later and the step up to listed company at York since asked too much of her. Much respected with her sights lowered. Just 9-1 when eighth of 11 for 1m4f Listed race at York (good to firm) four weeks ago.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 +14%) Rocha Do Leao	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Rocha Do Leao 12/1, Footstepsinthesand filly who was third to Shagpyle in 1¼m Ascot maiden on soft and actually stepped up on that bare form when down the field in the Group 2 Ribblesdale at the Royal meeting there. Back at a much more realistic level after a break. Interesting to see what the betting makes of her. Off since very stiff Royal Ascot task; interesting to see if there's confidence behind her.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 -144%) Arenas Del Tiempo	22 22/1(-144%)	(7) Arenas Del Tiempo 22/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 5/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Epsom (1¼m, good to firm) 8 days ago. Should be competitive from the same mark but probably vulnerable to improvers in the 3yo ranks. Seen more often at 1m2f (2nd latest); well held in her only two starts on softer than good.
7th	2 7th (2) (12/1 +14%) Sid's Annie	12 12/1(+14%)	(2) Sid's Annie 12/1, Has her quirks but she's well capable when in the mood, winning for the fourth time this year when seeing off 7 rivals in a 1½m Newmarket handicap in August. Creditable fourth back there since but probably vulnerable to the 3-y-os here. Soft/heavy ground (unraced on good to soft) is a worry; otherwise firmly in the mix.
8th	1 8th (1) (18/1 -13%) Tashi	18 18/1(-13%)	(1) Tashi 18/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. in 2021. Beaten 7 lengths when second at Newmarket last month and ran poorly at Salisbury since. Not hard to look elsewhere. Placed in two (both 1m4f on soft) of five runs for new yard but the others were poor.

LTO Selection:

Shagpyle was beaten 10 lengths into fourth at Doncaster in late July, but that was a class 2 event and she drops a couple of grades on her handicap debut. She may prove the biggest danger to maiden winner ESMERAY, who impressed at Ffos Las and represents a yard among the winners in recent weeks. Market Value's earlier form would give her a chance, though she is held by Shagpyle on a line through Sea Theme at these weights.

It's likely best to focus on the 3-y-os. It'll be a surprise if there isn't more to come from ESMERAY on the back of her comfortable Ffos Las maiden success and she's preferred to Market Value, who should find this easier than the York listed event she contested last time. Shagpyle may prove best of the remainder.

Market Value could prove a fair bit better than today's mark but ESMERAY (nap), who should progress further, gets the vote.

Makes all-weather debut and should prove tough to beat. Has run well in stakes events on his last four starts and should win if repeating that.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 -14%) Emerald Banner	4 4/1(-14%)	(7) Emerald Banner 4/1, Matched previous form when second of 13 in maiden (4/1) at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Should be in the mix again. Solid efforts in defeat last twice; a repeat of those runs will see her closely involved.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 -9%) Jakku	12 12/1(-9%)	(8) Jakku 12/1, 12/1, faced a stiff task on debut but showed a bit when 9¾ lengths eleventh of 13 to Porta Fortuna in Fillies' Sprint Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good to firm) on debut 4 months ago. Clearly thought capable of better and should progress. Never involved in a Group 3 on debut; the stable jockey rides Alabama instead.
4	3 4th (3) (33/1 -18%) Clonmacash	33 33/1(-18%)	(3) Clonmacash 33/1, Below form sixth of 10 in maiden at Down Royal (5f, good to firm, 10/3) 2 weeks ago. Makes all-weather debut. Seems to be going the wrong way so need first-time blinkers to have a positive effect. Best run came over this trip at Down Royal in June but has been below that level since.
5th	6 5th (6) (200/1 -100%) Tarsus	200 200/1(-100%)	(6) Tarsus 200/1, Offered little when eighth of 9 in maiden at Down Royal (5f, good, 20/1) on debut 3 months ago. Gelded since. Weakened late on over this trip on debut in June and gelded since; has to improve plenty.
6th	9 6th (9) (13/2 -18%) Vanity Pays	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(9) Vanity Pays 13/2, Turned in her first below-par effort when fourth of 8 in maiden (7/2) at Navan (5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Below-par when 4l behind Emerald Banner at Navan last time; needs to return to top form.
7th	5 7th (5) (20/1 -43%) Janzoor	20 20/1(-43%)	(5) Janzoor 20/1, 15/2, ran up to best when fourth of 10 in maiden at Down Royal (5f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. Makes all-weather debut. Progressing gradually and first-time blinkers could eke out that little bit extra. Just behind Comein Comein at Down Royal; blinkers need to eke out improvement.
8th	4 8th (4) (40/1 -82%) Comein Comein	40 40/1(-82%)	(4) Comein Comein 40/1, Showed more than previously when third of 10 in maiden at Down Royal (5f, good to firm, 33/1) 2 weeks ago. Solid 3rd over this trip at Down Royal last time; needs to do more but can run well.
9th	2 9th (2) (150/1 -127%) Bobbys Glory	150 150/1(-127%)	(2) Bobbys Glory 150/1, 12/1, too green to show anything when eighth of 10 in maiden at Down Royal (5f, good to firm) on debut 2 weeks ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Beaten 13l over this trip on Down Royal debut and has to improve enormously.

LTO Selection:

ALABAMA sets a high standard with an official rating of 99. Aidan O'Brien's charge has been mixing in good company and has a pair of runner-up finishes in Listed class to call upon. The progeny of his sire, No Nay Never, have a decent record on all-weather surfaces so the Polytrack shouldn't be an issue. Vanity Pays showed an aptitude for this surface when pipped by a head on debut at Dundalk in April. She has been competitive since then behind some useful sorts so is well in the mix. Emerald Banner was a solid second in her last couple of outings at Navan and Naas and should be a factor. Expensive-purchase Jakku was unplaced on debut at Naas, however, that was in a Group 3 so she is clearly well thought of. She should be much closer here.

It's tough to get away from ALABAMA, who again ran creditably kept to listed level when fourth at York last month and, provided he takes to this all-weather surface, Aidan O'Brien's colt should prove tough to beat. Emerald Banner has been runner-up on her last couple of starts and she may have to settle for silver once again, with Vanity Pays rounding off the shortlist.

Having run with credit in stakes races on his last four starts, this is a major drop in class for ALABAMA and he should win.

1	5 1st (5) (1.62/1 +19%) Imperial Measure	1.62 1.62/1(+19%)	(5) Imperial Measure 1.62/1, Better signs since switched to handicaps and his latest fourth of 13 here (18.5f, good) at the end of May represents decent form in the context of this race. Proven on slow ground and this low-mileage 5-y-o is high on the shortlist. Although 0-8 he has been threatening in handicaps, beaten under 5l in his last two runs.
2	4 2nd (4) (2.5/1 -25%) Good Impression	2.5 2.5/1(-25%)	(4) Good Impression 2.5/1, Back on the scoresheet over C&D in June and made it 2-3 at this course/4-9 under Ben Jones when going in again at the beginning of this month. 4 lb rise fair enough and bold show likely provided he handles the ground (has won on soft but well held both previous starts on heavy going). In-form course winner who is still on a good mark but testing ground is a concern.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/1 +38%) Ascot Day	10 10/1(+38%)	(6) Ascot Day 10/1, Runner-up twice in handicap hurdles during spring 2022, including over this C&D, but hasn't shown much in 3 starts since returning from a 13-month absence in July. Pretty much tailed off in his two jumps runs since returning from an absence.
4	1 4th (1) (3/1 +0%) Star Legend	3 3/1(+0%)	(1) Star Legend 3/1, Fair on the Flat for William Haggas and stepped up on low-key handicap debut in this sphere when third of 9 at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm) recently. Conditions here won't be an issue (placed on soft/heavy in novice events a couple of months ago) and he's one to consider. 3lb rise annoying for latest defeat but has more going for him than most.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (12/1 +14%) Reams Of Love	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) Reams Of Love 12/1, Cheekpieces on for first time when last of 12 to Vin Rouge over this C&D in June (sixth past post but disqualified for weighing in light). Remains with one standout effort to his name over hurdles and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Mixed bag and recent withdrawals would suggest that soft ground is feared.

LTO Selection:

GOOD IMPRESSION recorded a sixth success over hurdles when appearing to win with something in hand over C&D earlier this month and the eight-year-old should take all the beating off only 4lb higher. The in-form Star Legend has performed with credit on soft in the past and is likely to be in the thick of the action once more. The returning Imperial Measure could also have a say if resuming in the same heart as his fourth-placed finish here in May.

IMPERIAL MEASURE and Star Legend both showed enough on their latest appearances to suggest that they can take high rank in a race of this nature. The former wasn't beaten far in a more competitive race than this here on his latest start in May and gets the nod off the same mark with conditions no problem. Good Impression registered his second C&D success here last time and he has to be taken seriously, too.

The recent rain has scuppered a few of these. IMPERIAL MEASURE looks a good bet to give his running.

4	5 4th (5) (100/1 -52%) Derby De Thaix	100 100/1(-52%)	(5) Derby De Thaix 100/1, Poor maiden over hurdles who could hardly have shown any less on sole Flat outing. Easily opposed after 16 months off. Only success came in a French bumper in 2017, since when he's gone 0-35.
5th	3 5th (3) (100/1 +0%) Carslake	100 100/1(+0%)	(3) Carslake 100/1, Just modest on Flat and disappointing of late over hurdles. Exposed as limited on the Flat and over hurdles; makes no appeal.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 -193%) Mister Fogpatches	22 22/1(-193%)	(7) Mister Fogpatches 22/1, Useful handicap chaser making Flat debut. Needs considering. Best known as a staying chaser and he's unlikely to have the gears for this.
7th	6 7th (6) (33/1 -32%) Final Endeavour	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) Final Endeavour 33/1, Fair gelding who ran poorly after 10 months off at Bellewstown (17f, good, 50/1) 24 days ago. Three Flat wins but at a modest level and he's outclassed in this company.
8th	1 8th (1) (15/2 +32%) Mr Rango	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(1) Mr Rango 15/2, Fairly useful gelding who ran respectably after an 8-week break when third in a handicap at Ballinrobe in July. Not in anything like the same form at Killarney since, so bounced back called for. Dual 1m2f handicap winner; 1m6f stretches him but still looks a key player.
9th	9 9th (9) (50/1 +24%) Zebos Beanos	50 50/1(+24%)	(9) Zebos Beanos 50/1, Well held in a trio of maiden hurdles. Off 155 days. Modest maiden on the Flat, bit below form on last Flat outing. Low-grade Flat maiden and has been doing nothing over hurdles this year.

LTO Selection:

Killarney runner-up MINELLA MATE can register his second success on the flat. The former bumper winner won a decent renewal of the Q.R. Maiden at the Galway festival last month, before just failing to follow up at the County Kerry venue last time. Having travelled like the best horse in the race, the John Nallen-trained gelding was just out-battled inside the last half a furlong. Dropping back in trip should be very much in his favour now and it would be something of a surprise if he were beaten. Mr Rango has the next best official rating of those to attain a mark, although it is 10lb below the Nallen representative. With a slight doubt about his stamina over this distance, the five-year-old could be vulnerable. Coeur Sublime hasn't run on the flat since making a winning racecourse debut in 2018 but has progressed into a high-class National Hunt horse in the interim.

MINELLA MATE has made a promising start to his Flat career and is preferred to Coeur Sublime, who has a bit to prove having underperformed on his final 2 outings over jumps. Useful handicap chaser Mister Fogpatches is worthy of consideration, also.

Bumper winner MINELLA MATE has done surprisingly well since his attention was turned to the Flat and this looks very winnable.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (15/2 +46%) Fairmac	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(1) Fairmac 15/2, Course winner who turned in a rare poor effort in a first-time visor at Redcar (14f, good to firm, 7/2) 27 days ago. Blinkers back on. Downhill since his Musselburgh win this April and he's 4lb below that last winning mark.
1	10 1st (10) (9/2 +72%) Valley Of Flowers	4.5 9/2(+72%)	(10) Valley Of Flowers 9/2, Free-going type who got off the mark for the season at Beverley in June and has held her form very well since. Won this race from 4 lb lower 12 months ago. Shortlisted. Broke her duck in this race last year and bang there every time (one win) this season.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 +17%) Clansman	10 10/1(+17%)	(5) Clansman 10/1, C&D winner who produced a career best when scoring on his return at Doncaster in April. Has run below form on his last 2 starts, though. C&D winner; also won reappearance; well handicapped if the ground has softened.
3	7 3rd (7) (16/1 -14%) Golden Valour	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Golden Valour 16/1, Temperamental sort. Thirty runs since last win in 2020 and ran his customary race when fourth of 5 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, soft) 5 days ago, carrying head high before consenting to run on late. Others preferred for win purposes. Fair fourth when back up to 1m4f for last two outings but he carries his head high.
4	12 4th (12) (9/1 +25%) Optician	9 9/1(+25%)	(12) Optician 9/1, Ran well despite not been seen to best effect when fourth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to firm, 13/2) 17 days ago, not clear run last ½f. Not discounted. 0-10; on a competitive mark and first run beyond 1m4f looks worth a go.
5th	6 5th (6) (17/2 +47%) Bobby Shaftoe	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(6) Bobby Shaftoe 17/2, 3 wins from 10 runs this year. 5/2, respectable second of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (16f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Can give another good account. Placed at Carlisle (1m6f) and Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) on his two outings this month.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 +78%) Glasses Up	4 4/1(+78%)	(2) Glasses Up 4/1, Ended long losing run back in cheekpieces here in August and has run at least as well in defeat both outings since. Should go well again back down in trip. August's win was his first for more than two years; this may be a bit too competitive.
7th	11 7th (11) (20/1 -122%) Crystal Guard	20 20/1(-122%)	(11) Crystal Guard 20/1, 4/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 14 days ago. Can be argued he's returning to form, but long time since he made a serious impact on turf.
8th	3 8th (3) (6/1 +20%) Annandale	6 6/1(+20%)	(3) Annandale 6/1, C&D winner who ran well from a career-low mark when second of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Redcar (14f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Every chance with a repeat. No win since a C&D race two years ago; way down the weights and runner-up on latest start.
9th	4 9th (4) (13/2 -18%) Belle Of Annandale	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(4) Belle Of Annandale 13/2, Matched his fair Flat form in getting off the mark immediately switched to hurdles for new yard at Perth in August. Well below that level at Hexham 16 days ago but he's generally consistent so a good run likely now returned to this code. Second or third in half of her 18 Flat starts, without winning; 5lb claimer is enlisted.
10th	9 10th (9) (33/1 -136%) Lochnaver	33 33/1(-136%)	(9) Lochnaver 33/1, Latest win at Hamilton in June and returned to a similar level when third in 5-runner handicap at Catterick (13.9f, soft) 10 days ago. All three wins at Hamilton; even her best turf form may not be quite good enough.

LTO Selection:

Valley Of Flowers won this race last year from a 4lb lower mark and recent performances have proven that she can compete from her current mark. The five-year-old merits respect, as does Annandale, who struck the woodwork at Redcar last month, though a chance is taken on GLASSES UP. The son of English Channel was unable to land a blow at Musselburgh 23 days ago, but he is proven at a higher level and might be able to strike down in class.

VALLEY OF FLOWERS has been holding her form very well and is selected to land this race for a second year running. There are plenty of dangers however, with Belle of Annandale, a recent winner over hurdles, and Annandale, who ran well from a career-low mark at Redcar last month, to name just a couple.

She might not the best handicapped but VALLEY OF FLOWERS won this last year and looks by some way the most likely to give her running.

Should progress. Outpaced when the tempo hotted up 2f out on Ascot debut (backed); can do better.
2	6 2nd (6) (125/1 -150%) Flag Carrier	125 125/1(-150%)	(6) Flag Carrier 125/1, 20/1 and blinkered, looked badly in need of the experience when tenth of 12 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good) on debut 62 days ago. Gelded since and better showing anticipated. Blinkered when well beaten on debut nine weeks ago; gelded since; no headgear; risky.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/4 -125%) Age Of Baroque	2.25 9/4(-125%)	(1) Age Of Baroque 9/4, Foaled February 28. €575,000 yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Dam unraced sister to very smart winner up to 10.5f Golden Lilac out of very smart 1m-1¼m winner Grey Lilas. Yard had a couple of winning 2-y-os at Yarmouth on Wednesday and he ticks plenty of boxes. 575,000euros yearling; dam unraced sister to top-class French filly; of obvious interest.
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 +38%) Fox Legacy	5 5/1(+38%)	(7) Fox Legacy 5/1, 14/1, green when seventh of 13 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good) on debut 34 days ago. Should do better somewhere down the line. Green when 7th in a strong Newbury maiden five weeks ago; open to plenty of improvement.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/1 -82%) Eulace Peacock	5 5/1(-82%)	(5) Eulace Peacock 5/1, 13/2, had clearly learnt plenty from debut and left that form well behind despite being easy to back when second of 11 in minor event at this C&D 44 days ago. In top hands and open to further progress. Second over C&D last month on his 2nd start; drawn widest but still high on the list.
6th	4 6th (4) (50/1 -52%) Desert Rhapsody	50 50/1(-52%)	(4) Desert Rhapsody 50/1, Hooded and showed clear signs of ability when tenth of 16 in minor event (25/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut just over 3 weeks ago. Open to improvement. Well held at Chelmsford on debut; should do better but perhaps a longer-term prospect.
7th	2 7th (2) (33/1 -50%) Christian David	33 33/1(-50%)	(2) Christian David 33/1, Foaled February 11. £52,000 yearling, Profitable colt. Half-brother to 11f winner Liberty of Devil. Dam, 9f winner, half-sister to US Grade 2 1m winner (2-y-o 6f winner in Britain) Missit. Market check advised. £52,000 half-brother to a winner in Hungary; dam a minor 1m1f winner; others look stronger.
8th	8 8th (8) (11/1 +8%) Liveandletlive	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Liveandletlive 11/1, Went backwards from debut when seventh of 11 in minor event (4/1) at Leicester (7f, soft) 10 days ago. Makes all-weather debut. Didn't build on debut promise last time but the ground was soft; retains potential.
9th	12 9th (12) (150/1 -88%) Orbital	150 150/1(-88%)	(12) Orbital 150/1, Shaped better than first time up when sixth of 14 in maiden at this C&D (50/1) 9 days ago. Clearly still learning and looks one for handicaps after this. Hinted at ability; the extent is unlikely to be fully revealed until tackling longer trips.
10th	11 10th (11) (150/1 -200%) Pop Noodle	150 150/1(-200%)	(11) Pop Noodle 150/1, Foaled April 30. Adaay colt. Dam 7f winner. Market will guide expectations. Dam a 7f winner (including AW) from good family; looks to face tough task on debut.
11th	3 11th (3) (33/1 -50%) City Of Delight	33 33/1(-50%)	(3) City Of Delight 33/1, Showed ability amidst greenness when fifth of 14 in minor event (80/1) at this C&D on debut 2 weeks ago, considerately handled. May well do better. Stayed on strongly over C&D two weeks ago; should know more but 1m+ will suit better.
12th	13 12th (13) (250/1 -67%) Tres Chic	250 250/1(-67%)	(13) Tres Chic 250/1, 250/1, did little better than first time out when fifteenth of 16 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Makes all-weather debut. Poor form in two 6f runs last month; makes no appeal.
13th	10 13th (10) (300/1 -100%) Pagan King	300 300/1(-100%)	(10) Pagan King 300/1, Well held in pair of minor events so impossible to fancy. Offered little in two 7f novices last month and makes no appeal.

LTO Selection:

Eulace Peacock sets the standard having filled second place in a competitive event over C&D last month, but a chance can be taken on AGE OF BAROQUE. Charlie Appleby's colt is out of an unraced full-sister to the three-time Group 1 winner Golden Lilac and he was a 575,000-euro purchase last year. Fox Legacy showed signs of ability when seventh in a decent maiden at Newbury a month ago and it would be no surprise to see him take a big step forward with the benefit of that experience.

A few in with a squeak but €575,000 yearling AGE OF BAROQUE ticks plenty of boxes and, representing powerful connections, Charlie Appleby's colt is fancied to make a winning debut at the expense of Eulace Peacock, who ran a cracker when runner-up over C&D last month but has the widest stall to contend with this time. Military Artist and City of Delight are a couple of once-raced colts who should take a step forward.

Age Of Baroque is a newcomer of serious interest but Eulace Peacock and FOX LEGACY can put their experience to good use.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (3/1 -9%) Concorde	3 3/1(-9%)	(6) Concorde 3/1, Highly progressive earlier in the campaign and, while his latest run at Pontefract was sub-par, he's liable to bounce back returned to softer ground after a break, so he's worth taking a chance on. Off since June when good to firm may have been against him; one to note.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 +78%) Entrancement	4 4/1(+78%)	(7) Entrancement 4/1, Scored at Goodwood in May but has run poorly the last twice and others make more appeal. Has sometimes gone well in the mud; probably needs not just a revival but a career best.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +27%) Dubai Souq	4 4/1(+27%)	(2) Dubai Souq 4/1, Fairly useful sort who returned with a solid showing at Windsor but failed to back it up at Pontefract. Could get back on track after a short break. 317 days off before 2nd at Windsor in May; upset in stalls in July and below form latest.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 +43%) Fantasy Believer	8 8/1(+43%)	(3) Fantasy Believer 8/1, Latest win at Newmarket (10f) in July. Has remained in form since but slow-starting tendency means that he needs everything to drop right. 1m2f win at Newmarket in July; needs better than last two outings; slowly away on latest.
5th	1 5th (1) (25/1 -108%) Civil Law	25 25/1(-108%)	(1) Civil Law 25/1, Six wins from 23 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 15 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Has found the AW more fruitful; first turf run since making no impact twice last summer.
6th	5 6th (5) (5/2 -25%) Sayf Al Dawla	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(5) Sayf Al Dawla 5/2, Progressive in 2021 and, having attracted support, returned from a long absence as good as ever to land an 11-runner event at Sandown a couple of months ago. Another bold showing is on the cards. Off 632 days before Sandown (1m2f, soft) this July but was backed into favouritism and won.
7th	9 7th (9) (20/1 -11%) City Cyclone	20 20/1(-11%)	(9) City Cyclone 20/1, Shaped as if still in form last time and sliding in the weights, so not ruled out with the step back up in trip in his favour. Maiden, with fair form on his day; back up in trip but others preferred.

LTO Selection:

CONCORDE started the season with three victories from his first four starts before a seventh at Pontefract where he failed to act on much faster ground. Back on a softer surface, he may be able to get back to winning ways. Sayf Al Dawla returned from 21 months off and a gelding operation to win at Sandown at the end of July and if he has fully recovered from those efforts, he can go well off just 5lb higher. Dubai Souq is another of interest, especially if allowed an uncontested lead.

CONCORDE may have been unsuited by the quicker ground when last seen at Pontefract and there's every chance he can resume progress after a break, so he takes preference over Sayf Al Dawla, who had something to spare when making a winning return at Sandown. Civil Law should also give a good account.

Sayf Al Dawla and Concorde catch the eye but watch out also for AMOR VINCIT OMNIA.

Half-sister to 3 winners, one of them on AW, and to dam of 1m2f Gr 1 winner Helvic Dream.

LTO Selection:

Tricky fare for punters. JACKS INN is a newcomer to note as he is related to several multiple winners. Stall 17 isn't easy on debut, however, he did win a barrier trial here this month so should relish another go on this surface. Love Ya clearly has ability and is proven on the Polytrack. She was a close third on her debut in Dundalk and wasn't outclassed in Listed company at the Curragh. She is returning off a break, but has a low draw to work from and could grab the rail. Perfect Judgement has shown speed on all three starts and ought to be heavily involved. Ger Lyons introduces Holy Roman Emperor filly Sumptuary Law who is well worth a market check. Similar sentiments apply to Jessica Harrington's Holy Roman Emperor filly Gangster Granny. Byzantine Empress is another to consider.

NIKKI SWANGO was far from disgraced in a valuable sales event at the Curragh 12 days ago and this looks a good opportunity on these terms back in a maiden. Perfect Judgement is another to consider, while Sumptuary Law looks the pick of the newcomers.

Both PERFECT JUDGEMENT and Nikki Swango have lots of solid form in the book and slight preference is for Ado McGuinness' colt

6th	3 6th (3) (11/2 +61%) Imperial Fox	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(3) Imperial Fox 11/2, Imperial Monarch mare. Won last 2 of 5 starts in points (latest May 21) and appeals as an interesting Rules newcomer. Looked a useful prospect for the track in winning twice in points in the spring.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/1 +0%) Baiser Inedit	7 7/1(+0%)	(1) Baiser Inedit 7/1, Diamond Boy mare. Dam little impact over hurdles in France. Third sole start in points (Mar 20). Wears tongue strap. Worth monitoring in the betting. Showed ability in two point-to-point runs the season before last, long absence to overcome.
8th	10 8th (10) (100/1 +50%) Ceis Charraigin	100 100/1(+50%)	(10) Ceis Charraigin 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in bumper at Tramore (16f, good to soft, 100/1) 33 days ago. Well exposed filly, towards the rear in outings for this stable at Galway and Tramore.
9th	9 9th (9) (66/1 +34%) Baunmore Lady	66 66/1(+34%)	(9) Baunmore Lady 66/1, Red Jazz filly. Half-sister to 3 winners on Flat, including 7f winner Glanely. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed easy 1¼m). Not an obvious sort on paper. Half-sister to three Flat winners, more speed than stamina in the pedigree, up against it.

LTO Selection:

It may be worth taking a chance on racecourse debutant SPRINGS A GIRL in this finale. Trainer Richard O'Brien, who does exceptionally well with the few horses he runs in this sphere, is almost certain to have one lined up for a track that is relatively local to him. A half-sister to a dual winner for Gordon Elliott, the four-year-old will be worth monitoring in the market. Mount Sinai will have plenty of supporters too hailing from the Willie Mullins yard. A beaten favourite on her debut at Sligo, the daughter of Mount Nelson is surely capable of better. Point-to-point winner Miss Oreo has arguably the best form of those to have run under rules to date and Shark Hanlon is another trainer that loves to target this festival meeting.

MOUNT SINAI couldn't justify prohibitive odds on debut but she still showed a fair level of ability and, with improvement likely, she should take all the beating. Dual-point winner Imperial Fox looks the danger and Baiser Inedit is another interesting recruit having finished third between the flags.

The Mullins-trained Mount Sinai is likely to do better than at Sligo but may not cope with Westerhope who showed promise at Galway

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (2.25/1 +0%) Venus Rosewater	2.25 2.25/1(+0%)	(10) Venus Rosewater 2.25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/2, second of 9 in maiden at this C&D 14 days ago. Form pick. Not beaten far in any of her three runs, the latest a close second over C&D this month.
2	1 2nd (1) (1/1 +28%) Whispering Words	1 1/1(+28%)	(1) Whispering Words 1/1, Promising individual. 1 win from 1 run this year. Won 10-runner minor event (11/10) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 49 days ago. Shade more needed here under a penalty but this well-bred filly remains open to improvement. Won Newmarket novice on last month's belated reappearance; a very obvious contender here.
3	6 3rd (6) (80/1 -60%) Mountain Flower	80 80/1(-60%)	(6) Mountain Flower 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 20/1, eleventh of 12 in minor event at this C&D 16 days ago. Can be given another chance to build on the promise of her debut display at Doncaster. Ran on well for fourth on debut (7f, turf) and had excuse when down the field over C&D.
4	8 4th (8) (3/1 -33%) Summer Of Love	3 3/1(-33%)	(8) Summer Of Love 3/1, Dark Angel filly. Half-sister to smart 1m winner Al Nefud and useful 1¼m winner Aldous Huxley. Dam, 1¼m/10.3f winner, half-sister to smart 6f-1m winner White Moonstone. Not short of appeal on paper and she's very much one to note in the betting. Well-bred Godolphin newcomer; no surprise if she features.
5th	9 5th (9) (10/1 +17%) Velvet Crush	10 10/1(+17%)	(9) Velvet Crush 10/1, Twice-raced maiden. 2/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Yard saddles a stronger candidate in Venus Rosewater. Promising third over 7f here on debut; shade disappointing since and headgear now added.
6th	2 6th (2) (150/1 -88%) Frieze Frame	150 150/1(-88%)	(2) Frieze Frame 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 80/1) 13 days ago, having run of race. Will be of greater interest in handicaps later on. Bettered debut effort when 80-1 third at Wolverhampton last month; more needed again here.
7th	4 7th (4) (200/1 -150%) Cathaya	200 200/1(-150%)	(4) Cathaya 200/1, 4,000 gns 2-y-o, Ulysses filly. Dam, 2-y-o 6f-7f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Lahaleeb. Hooded for this debut and probably best watched this time, unless the market suggests otherwise. Out of a well-connected mare but wears a hood on debut and is probably best watched.
8th	7 8th (7) (250/1 -67%) Optimal Sinn	250 250/1(-67%)	(7) Optimal Sinn 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, sixth of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) 53 days ago, slowly away. Readily passed over. Not disgraced on debut and soft ground may not have suited last time; still overlooked.
9th	5 9th (5) (150/1 -88%) Ice Cream Castles	150 150/1(-88%)	(5) Ice Cream Castles 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, soft, 14/1) 69 days ago. Another who may find better opportunities when venturing down the handicap route. Ran well to a point on her debut but is not the obvious answer here.
10th	3 10th (3) (200/1 -150%) Carat Gold	200 200/1(-150%)	(3) Carat Gold 200/1, €40,000 yearling, Galileo Gold filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 1m-1¼m winner Sefri and 9f winner Nawarat. Dam unraced. Not devoid of appeal pedigree-wise but yard rarely strikes with newcomers. Half-sister to a Group 3 winner but would be a rare debut winner for the stable.

LTO Selection:

Whispering Words returned from a lengthy absence to get off the mark over a mile at Newmarket last month. The daughter of Dubawi has to be respected on the back of that performance but she may struggle to give 7lb to VENUS ROSEWATER. John and Thady Gosden's filly put in a career best when a close second here two weeks ago and she may have more improvement left to come. Velvet Crush, a stablemate of the selection, is also of interest, while Summer Of Love is noteworthy on her belated racecourse debut.

VENUS ROSEWATER was sixth in the Newmarket novice won by the re-opposing Whispering Words last month, but she has evidently improved since and is taken to open her account at the fourth time of asking. That said, Whispering Words still has potential and is greatly respected, despite the penalty, while Summer of Love, also owned by Godolphin, ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and needs close attention in the betting.

Charlie Appleby's WHISPERING WORDS bagged a Newmarket novice on last month's seasonal debut and is selected to overcome her penalty.

12	12 (12) (50/1 -25%) Lockdown	50 50/1(-25%)	(12) Lockdown 50/1, Fourth of 7 in minor event at Laytown (7.2f, 20/1) 10 days ago. AW winner over 6f in Britain; Laytown spin a tonic, better signs from yard but opposable.
1	1 1st (1) (33/1 +18%) Charlisse	33 33/1(+18%)	(1) Charlisse 33/1, Twice-raced winner. C&D winner. Last of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good, 22/1) 36 days ago. 80s when debut C&D maiden winner; failed to beat a rival on handicap bow at Leopardstown.
2	11 2nd (11) (9/4 +68%) Talia	2.25 9/4(+68%)	(11) Talia 9/4, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Cork in June. Third of 5 in handicap (15/8) at Naas (5.9f, good) 76 days ago. Respected. 7f winner at Cork on stable debut and form of third at Naas not shabby at all; has AW form.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/2 +44%) Exquisite Acclaim	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(6) Exquisite Acclaim 9/2, Course winner. One win from 22 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (8f, good to soft, 14/1) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Beaten less than 3l off 87 over C&D last year; well treated if he ever gets it together.
4	2 4th (2) (4/1 -78%) Giuseppe Cassioli	4 4/1(-78%)	(2) Giuseppe Cassioli 4/1, C&D winner. 12/1, good second of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 66 days ago. Expected to be bang there. All three wins have come on AW tracks including C&D success; good turf runs in midsummer.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 +0%) Jaafel	9 9/1(+0%)	(3) Jaafel 9/1, Course winner. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Laytown (6f, 14/1) 10 days ago, inadequate test. Player back up in trip. Three course wins over 1m; staying-on fourth over 6f on the beach sets him up nicely.
6th	9 6th (9) (9/1 +36%) Dromantine	9 9/1(+36%)	(9) Dromantine 9/1, C&D winner. 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (8f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Seems best here and at this trip; never-nearer second on first run back in July.
7th	13 7th (13) (5/1 +55%) Emorcee	5 5/1(+55%)	(13) Emorcee 5/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft, 15/2) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Pipped over this trip at Roscommon; fine second at Galway where stiff 1m stretched him.
8th	14 8th (14) (100/1 -150%) Play It Again Zaam	100 100/1(-150%)	(14) Play It Again Zaam 100/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, eleventh of 12 in juvenile hurdle (80/1) at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good) on NH debut 39 days ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Ran well in soft-ground maidens; modest form since returning to original trainer.
9th	5 9th (5) (20/1 -82%) Inishmot Prince	20 20/1(-82%)	(5) Inishmot Prince 20/1, 5-time course winner. Twentieth of 24 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 16/1) 26 days ago. Five wins in sprints here; out of form on turf lately, one good placed effort over 7f.
10th	10 10th (10) (20/1 -122%) Plezantlysurprised	20 20/1(-122%)	(10) Plezantlysurprised 20/1, Course winner. 17/2, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this course (6f). Off 10 months. Enters calculations. Winner and placed over 6f here last year; seventh furlong probably too far after absence.
11th	7 11th (7) (40/1 +0%) Zahee	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Zahee 40/1, Unreliable type. Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 14 in handicap (50/1) at Punchestown (8f, good to soft) 9 days ago, not clear run. Plenty to find on form. All three wins over 1m, 2 of them here in 2021; placed form over C&D, out of form on turf.
12th	4 12th (4) (66/1 -313%) Ghumama	66 66/1(-313%)	(4) Ghumama 66/1, Course winner. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (40/1) at Down Royal (10.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago. 10lb higher now. Significantly back down in trip. Blinkers back on. Dual winner here over 10.5f but placed form over 7f/1m; fitter for latest after lay-off.
13th	8 13th (8) (66/1 -230%) Adams Barbour	66 66/1(-230%)	(8) Adams Barbour 66/1, 7-time course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, thirteenth of 19 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft). Off 103 days. Significantly up in trip. Prolific winner over sprint trips here but hasn't run over 7f for a couple of years.

LTO Selection:

TALIA could be another winner for Natalia Lupini. She put a big field to the sword over this trip at Cork in June and was third in a much higher grade than this at Naas the following month. Colin Keane is a notable booking for Giuseppe Cassioli who was placed in two handicaps at the Curragh and Killarney over the summer. This son of Bated Breath is a former C&D winner who competes off a very handy mark. There could be more to come from Emorcee on the Polytrack and he gets first-time cheekpieces. Jaafel certainly knows his way around Dundalk while second-reserve Bellick would be a threat if getting a run. Plezantlysurprised is capable here, but has a long absence to overcome.

GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI built on the promise of his previous run when runner-up at Killarney and looks ready to strike having been eased another 2 lb. Plezantlysurprised is a threat off his reduced mark if ready to go, with Jaafel and Talia making up the shortlist.

It's best to ignore DROMANTINE's turf form and she has a good record over C&D; Talia is drawn wide but has a lot of upside

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.4/1 +60%) Olympic Candle	0.4 0.4/1(+60%)	(1) Olympic Candle 0.4/1, Improved from debut when winning 11-runner maiden at Ascot (7f, good to firm, 5/2) 2 weeks ago, scoring in clearcut fashion. Looks a useful colt in the making and could be up to defying his penalty. Promising debut in warm maiden before winning well at Ascot; down in trip; strong claims.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/1 -13%) Jungle Mac	9 9/1(-13%)	(6) Jungle Mac 9/1, Still green but stepped forward from his first start when third of 7 in minor event (11/2) at Salisbury (6f, firm) in June. Capable of better again as he returns from 3 months off. Has shown promise in his two runs; absent since June but capable of better.
3	5 3rd (5) (16/1 +0%) Engineer	16 16/1(+0%)	(5) Engineer 16/1, Foaled April 9. 60,000 gns yearling, Showcasing colt. Brother to winner up to 7.5f Identified and half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner She Can Dance and 5f winner Match Play. Interesting newcomer (has had a wind op). 60,000gns yearling from a good sprinting family; had wind op prior to debut; check market.
4	10 4th (10) (14/1 -56%) Tsunami Spirit	14 14/1(-56%)	(10) Tsunami Spirit 14/1, Fared best of the newcomers when fourth of 13 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 14/1) 18 days ago. Likely improver with that first experience behind him. Yard in form and he shaped well at Windsor on debut; drawn wider than ideal though.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 -100%) Debora's Dream	5 5/1(-100%)	(3) Debora's Dream 5/1, Built on debut promise when second of 11 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, soft, 11/10) 3 weeks ago. Enters calculations with the step up in trip to suit. Two promising efforts on turf and his half-brother relishes Polytrack; contender.
6th	4 6th (4) (20/1 -82%) Eighth Army	20 20/1(-82%)	(4) Eighth Army 20/1, Very green when seventh of 11 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, soft, 5/2) on debut 3 weeks ago. Clearly thought capable of better. Couldn't live up to market billing on debut (behind Debora's Dream); may do better.
7th	2 7th (2) (100/1 -52%) Briery Boy	100 100/1(-52%)	(2) Briery Boy 100/1, Fared no better than on debut when seventh of 12 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 16/1) 27 days ago. Looks to be up against it. No better than midfield in two Newmarket runs last month; improvement required.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 -12%) Rogue Fighter	28 28/1(-12%)	(7) Rogue Fighter 28/1, Foaled March 7. £40,000 yearling, Dark Angel gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 7f winner Sylvestris. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on debut. £40,000 yearling; some appeal on paper but he has a useful standard to aim at on debut.
9th	8 9th (8) (125/1 -213%) Split The Profit	125 125/1(-213%)	(8) Split The Profit 125/1, Foaled February 26. 27,000 gns yearling, Profitable colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 7f-1½m winner Yonkers and 7f winner Euqranian. Dam 5f/6f winner. 27,000gns half-brother to Australian Group 2 winner Yonkers; likely a longer-term prospect.
10th	11 10th (11) (125/1 -400%) Ruling Sovereign	125 125/1(-400%)	(11) Ruling Sovereign 125/1, Failed to progress from debut when last of 7 in minor event at Goodwood (6f, heavy, 13/2) 27 days ago, though possibly unsuited by conditions. Remains with potential. Promise on debut before finding soft ground too much last time; can do better.
11th	12 11th (12) (250/1 -400%) Priscilla's Joy	250 250/1(-400%)	(12) Priscilla's Joy 250/1, Made some appeal on paper but held back by inexperience when tenth of 12 in maiden (8/1) at this C&D on debut 9 days ago. Should do better in time. Slowly away and never featured in a weaker race here nine days ago; best watched.

LTO Selection:

OLYMPIC CANDLE may have a 6lb penalty to overcome for getting off the mark in commanding fashion at Ascot earlier in the month, but the drop in trip should not inconvenience him as he looks to follow up. The son of Profitable may have too much for the likes of Salisbury second Debora's Dream and Tsunami Spirit, who shaped with promise when finishing a two-length fourth at Windsor on his debut.

OLYMPIC CANDLE showed the benefit of his initial experience when scoring in good style at Ascot a fortnight ago and he can continue his progress to follow up. The Godolphin colt is taken to see of the challenge of Debora's Dream, who is also open to further improvement upped in trip, with Tsunami Spirit completing the shortlist.

This can go to OLYMPIC CANDLE who was a decisive winner last time and dropping in trip should be no bother.

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (9/2 -13%) Rockbury Lad	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(2) Rockbury Lad 9/2, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Blinkered for 1st time, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good, 11/2) 29 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Maiden made the frame six times this year; often doesn't find much off it but well drawn.
2	3 2nd (3) (20/1 -167%) Yester	20 20/1(-167%)	(3) Yester 20/1, Remains a maiden after 30 Flat runs. First run since leaving John McConnell when respectable second of 10 in claimer at Laytown (7f, 3/1) 10 days ago. Blinkers back on. Long-standing maiden spurned another chance on the beach last week and not one to trust.
3	12 3rd (12) (14/1 -65%) Qaabil	14 14/1(-65%)	(12) Qaabil 14/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 13 in handicap at Punchestown (9f, good to soft, 18/1) 9 days ago, no match for winner. Likely to find one or two too good. Landed a touch at Gowran last year; showed little here over winter, back to form latest.
4	13 4th (13) (33/1 +34%) Saoirses Lulaby	33 33/1(+34%)	(13) Saoirses Lulaby 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, fifteenth of 25 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Early days but little to recommend on what she's shown so far albeit yard/jockey respected.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 +43%) Lasting Peace	8 8/1(+43%)	(5) Lasting Peace 8/1, Last of 18 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to soft, 12/1) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive. Second at Bellewstown and third to subsequent winner over 1m here; excuse last time.
6th	10 6th (10) (10/1 +44%) Designer Cailin	10 10/1(+44%)	(10) Designer Cailin 10/1, Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2021. Fifteenth of 18 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to soft, 6/1) 23 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Dual 7f winner here and twice narrowly beaten over that trip on turf this year.
7th	8 7th (8) (12/1 +14%) Sunset Nova	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Sunset Nova 12/1, Five-time course winner. Latest win at Down Royal in June. 14/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good) 24 days ago. Enters calculations back here. Stalwart never ruled out here where he's won five, including over this trip last year.
8th	6 8th (6) (17/2 -89%) James Henry	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(6) James Henry 17/2, Creditable third of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good, 15/2) 24 days ago, running on late. Visor on 1st time and he has each-way claims. Maiden was second in division of this last year and back to form at Bellewstown.
9th	1 9th (1) (9/2 +36%) Jazz Dreamers	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(1) Jazz Dreamers 9/2, Career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good, 5/1) 24 days ago, all out. One to consider. Been in fine form on turf and rerouted from Listowel; placed over C&D in February.
10th	14 10th (14) (100/1 -100%) Static Charge	100 100/1(-100%)	(14) Static Charge 100/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Ninth of 11 in maiden (80/1) at Down Royal (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Heavily raced at two for previous yard, placed in pair of nurseries; nothing this year.
11th	4 11th (4) (6/1 +40%) My Little Tip	6 6/1(+40%)	(4) My Little Tip 6/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Thirteenth of 18 in handicap (12/1) at Naas (8f, soft) 58 days ago. Every chance if back to best. Three wins over 7f on turf in Britain; some fair runs here in the spring, on a good mark.
12th	9 12th (9) (9/1 -29%) Above It All	9 9/1(-29%)	(9) Above It All 9/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Roscommon (7.2f, good to soft) 18 days ago, not clear run. Has to be taken seriously. Continues to slide in ratings; fair fourth to Jazz Dreamers at Bellewstown two runs back.
13th	7 13th (7) (33/1 -65%) Flotus Radiance	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Flotus Radiance 33/1, 14/1, below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good) 79 days ago. Others preferred. Showed promise on handicap debut when sixth over 7f at Cork in May; little since.
14th	11 14th (11) (16/1 +36%) Miltonia	16 16/1(+36%)	(11) Miltonia 16/1, 13¼ lengths thirteenth of 15 to Jazz Dreamers in handicap (25/1) at Bellewstown (7.8f, good) 24 days ago. Maiden is tricky sort of filly, best run when beaten less than 3l over C&D in July.

LTO Selection:

JAZZ DREAMERS bounced back to winning ways in Bellewstown and could follow up. He wasn't winning out of turn and the runner-up franked the form by going in Galway. Robert Whearty's 5lb claim should keep him competitive. The handicapper has definitely given Sunset Nova a chance. He has nine career victories and will enjoy racing off a mark of 50. Peter Fahey has been among the winners recently and his Qaabil arrives on the back of a runner-up berth at Punchestown last week. A first-time visor could eke out a bit more improvement from James Henry who kept on for third when last seen in Bellewstown, while second-reserve Skontonovski won over C&D in August and usually comes home stronger than most.

Though ABOVE IT ALL has been rather going through the motions this year, there have been more encouraging signs of late and he is worth chancing off this career-low mark. Next on the list is Sunset Nova, who may well bounce back with a bold show now returned to this venue. Jazz Dreamers hit the target at Bellewstown last time and is also shortlisted, along with James Henry and Yester.

He's not the most consistent but JAMES HENRY has a fair shout on the pick of his form and the visor might help

18:45 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 7f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (6/1 +14%) Cloud Cover	6 6/1(+14%)	(7) Cloud Cover 6/1, Made a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton in August. Not seen to best effect when sixth of 12 at Lingfield (7f, AW, 15/2) 6 days ago, short of room approaching final 1f. Could still have more to offer. Wolverhampton win on h'cap debut was followed by a luckless run at Lingfield; up in grade.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 -11%) Rajindri	5 5/1(-11%)	(5) Rajindri 5/1, Recorded second win from her last 3 starts when landing 9-runner handicap (16/5) at this C&D 30 days ago, quickening to lead over 1f out. Can go well once more raised only 2 lb for her latest success. Improved effort when winning a C&D handicap last month; 2lb rise fair but this looks warm.
3	2 3rd (2) (7/1 +0%) Vermilion	7 7/1(+0%)	(2) Vermilion 7/1, In first-time hood, improved again when making all in 12-runner maiden at Newmarket (7f, good, 3/1) when last seen a year ago. Could yet do better sent handicapping, so she's respected despite a lengthy absence. Newmarket maiden winner (7f) when last seen one year ago; retains potential on h'cap debut.
4	6 4th (6) (4/5 +36%) Primeval	0.8 4/5(+36%)	(6) Primeval 4/5, Made it 2 wins from 2 when landing odds in 4-runner minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 1/3) 40 days ago, overcoming the run of the race. Open to further improvement and she can score again on handicap debut. 2-2 over 6f; unimpressive last time but her opening mark looks generous; good prospect.
5th	4 5th (4) (28/1 -56%) Algheed	28 28/1(-56%)	(4) Algheed 28/1, Won twice at Wolverhampton in January. 17/2, step back in right direction when sixth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April. Needs to pick up where she left off after 168-day absence. Did well on AW over the winter but absent since a fair run at Lingfield on Good Friday.
6th	3 6th (3) (10/1 +17%) Mottisfont	10 10/1(+17%)	(3) Mottisfont 10/1, Below form last 2 starts, finishing well held when twelfth of 18 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm, 28/1) 29 days ago. Drops in grade but needs to get back on track as she makes polytrack debut. Disappointing this year; hopes pinned on the switch to AW/drop in class reviving fortunes.

LTO Selection:

PRIMEVAL has made a perfect start to her career and the step up in trip is likely to bring out further improvement, being a half-sister to multiple Group 2 winner Time Test. A mark of 80 on her handicap debut could also prove lenient, and she gets the vote ahead of last month's C&D winner Rajindri, who has been in very consistent form this season. Newmarket maiden winner Vermilion can also have a say in proceedings.

PRIMEVAL has looked a useful prospect when winning both starts so far, defying a penalty at Windsor with a lot more in hand than the bare margin, and she can complete the hat-trick with the extra furlong likely to suit on handicap debut. Rajindri made it 2 wins from her last 3 races when successful at this C&D last time and is feared most, ahead of Vermilion.

An opening mark of 80 could greatly underestimate PRIMEVAL's potential and she can maintain her unbeaten record.

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (17/2 +23%) Hale Bopp	8.5 17/2(+23%)	(4) Hale Bopp 17/2, C&D winner. Fifth of 15 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good, 22/1) 16 days ago. Not discounted. Dual winner here shown little for current yard but better signs lately off reduced mark.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +50%) Allo Arry	3 3/1(+50%)	(1) Allo Arry 3/1, Career best when winning 10-runner maiden (3/1) at Laytown (7.2f) 10 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and more needed off what is now a stiff-looking mark. Beat much higher-rated foe over 7f on the beach last week; mark bumped back up as a result.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 -9%) Indiana Grey	12 12/1(-9%)	(2) Indiana Grey 12/1, Four-time course winner. 22/1, excellent second of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good) 24 days ago, running on. Each-way chance. C&D winner from gate 13 in February under Kearney; fine return last month after lay-off.
4	9 4th (9) (25/1 -108%) Harbanaker	25 25/1(-108%)	(9) Harbanaker 25/1, C&D winner. 33/1, first run since leaving Leanne Breen when bit below form seventh of 18 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft) 58 days ago. Others more persuasive. C&D wins in January of this year and last, little since latest victory; Keane rides.
5th	12 5th (12) (14/1 -27%) Tynamite	14 14/1(-27%)	(12) Tynamite 14/1, Five-time course winner. Twenty-one runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, twelfth of 18 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Claims if able to bounce back. Engaged 2.15 Listowel Thursday. Lots of good efforts in defeat since last win in 2021 and yard/jockey going well.
6th	10 6th (10) (16/1 -33%) Pulse Of Shanghai	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) Pulse Of Shanghai 16/1, Four-time course winner. Second of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Laytown (6f) 10 days ago, clear of rest. Significantly back up in trip and blinkers back on. Merits consideration. Long time winless but placed twice over 6f here in March and good beach run; trip a worry.
7th	3 7th (3) (17/2 +58%) General Idea	8.5 17/2(+58%)	(3) General Idea 17/2, Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner claimer on debut for Adrian Brendan Joyce at Laytown (7f, 9/2) 10 days ago. Has switched yards again since and more on his plate back in handicap company. Held in turf handicaps before easy win in 7f Laytown claimer; pep in his step after that.
8th	8 8th (8) (9/2 +36%) Ferrybank	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(8) Ferrybank 9/2, Course winner. Below form seventh of 25 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to firm, 8/1) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and capable of playing a part in the finish. Course winner and in good form under Hayes this summer; held lately and cheekpieces added.
9th	6 9th (6) (6/1 -71%) Feature This	6 6/1(-71%)	(6) Feature This 6/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in April. 18/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (9f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Two wins, two seconds over C&D earlier this year; fit and ready from turf and well drawn.
10th	7 10th (7) (15/2 -7%) Monzoon	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(7) Monzoon 15/2, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable third of 15 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good, 16/1) 16 days ago. Has come down over a stone in the ratings this term and better signs at Gowran last time.
11th	5 11th (5) (12/1 +14%) Circles	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Circles 12/1, Course winner. Last of 13 in handicap at this C&D (17/2) 72 days ago. Definite chance if able to bounce back. Back-to-back wins over this trip here in February; mark fine and yard starting to pick up.
12th	11 12th (11) (40/1 +39%) Flag High	40 40/1(+39%)	(11) Flag High 40/1, 33/1, last of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 72 days ago, slowly away. Best to look elsewhere. Never involved on turf return and you'd rather see him in the hood than without..
13th	14 13th (14) (150/1 -88%) Nancy Angel	150 150/1(-88%)	(14) Nancy Angel 150/1, 125/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Poor form in maidens and has struggled in handicaps in Britain and Ireland; headgear.
14th	15 14th (15) (80/1 -142%) Madame Peltier	80 80/1(-142%)	(15) Madame Peltier 80/1, 28/1, 9 lengths sixth of 10 to General Idea in claimer at Laytown (7f) 10 days ago. RESERVE. Dual AW winner in Britain; well held all three starts for current yard; reserve.

LTO Selection:

The consistent INDIANA GREY could get another turn. Pat Martin's mare signalled that a victory may not be far away when beaten half a length into second at Bellewstown last month. She has won four times in Dundalk and jockey Jack Kearney knows her well. Allo Arry made the breakthrough on the beach at Laytown last week and has to rate a danger on his first visit to Dundalk. It is a long time since Pulse Of Shanghai tasted success, but he enjoys this surface. General Idea grabbed his first victory in a Laytown claimer and, although previous visits here have been unconvincing, he returns with his confidence boosted. Third-reserve Fleetfootsoldier would be a major player if managing to get a run.

Though FEATURE THIS has failed to trouble the judge on turf of late, she's clearly more of a force on the all-weather and is appealing having slipped to a mark 3 lb below that off which she scored over C&D on her latest visit here in April. Hale Bopp took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Gowran recently and he is feared most ahead of Ferrybank and Indiana Grey.

Having made a fine return from a lay-off at Bellewstown, INDIANA GREY gets the nod; Feature This will enjoy returning to Poytrack

19:15 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 11f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (9/2 +68%) Jack Sparowe	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(5) Jack Sparowe 9/2, Improved to win 1m Bath handicap in August. Respectable fifth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (1¼m, good) 35 days ago. Placed over shorter trips here last year. 1m winner at Bath last month but failed to fire over 1m2f latest; surely better than that.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/2 -43%) Wadacre Gomez	2.5 5/2(-43%)	(6) Wadacre Gomez 5/2, 11/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 45 days ago. Building up a fine AW record and a 3 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making another bold bid. Good AW record and form of latest win has been boosted left, right & centre; big chance.
3	1 3rd (1) (17/2 +6%) Masqool	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(1) Masqool 17/2, Course winner last autumn. Successful at Lingfield (AW) and Nottingham this spring. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Chelmsford (1¼m) 20 days ago. Six-time AW winner; shaped encouragingly three weeks ago; one to consider back up in trip.
4	12 4th (12) (8/1 +33%) Fravanco	8 8/1(+33%)	(12) Fravanco 8/1, Winner at Lingfield in July. 17/2, good fifth of 10 in handicap at Bath (13f, good to soft) 34 days ago and would have finished a bit closer had he not been denied a clear run towards the finish. Progressing at a low level but he's got more on his plate in this competitive Class 5.
5th	2 5th (2) (6/4 +20%) Born Ruler	1.5 6/4(+20%)	(2) Born Ruler 6/4, Wolverhampton maiden winner doubled his tally when readily landing 8-runner 1¼m Sandown handicap last Friday. Much respected under the 6 lb penalty. Ready winner (1m2f, good) at Sandown last week; should make a bold bid under a penalty.
6th	10 6th (10) (150/1 -200%) Socially Shady	150 150/1(-200%)	(10) Socially Shady 150/1, Unreliable sort. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1½m, AW, 100/1) 32 days ago. Others are preferred. Yet to fire for current yard and this looks an inadequate trip in any case.
7th	4 7th (4) (18/1 +28%) Down To The Kid	18 18/1(+28%)	(4) Down To The Kid 18/1, Won over 1½m at Southwell in March. Placed back at Southwell and over this C&D in June but ran poorly at Southwell last month. First run for yard after leaving Ivan Furtado Flopped at Southwell last time and has moved yard since; claims on this year's best.
8th	9 8th (9) (22/1 -38%) Pablo Prince	22 22/1(-38%)	(9) Pablo Prince 22/1, Won over 1½m at Lingfield in January. Recorded creditable fourths back there in February/March but has a 6-month absence to overcome so might be best watched this time. Three-time winner at Lingfield; he'll need to be at his best on return from six months off.
9th	3 9th (3) (25/1 +0%) Zain Farhh	25 25/1(+0%)	(3) Zain Farhh 25/1, Fair form in maiden/novices. Too free on 1½m Newmarket handicap debut last month and now drops slightly in trip with a hood added tackling AW for the first time. Too free when tailed off on h'cap debut four weeks ago; new hood could help but opposable.
10th	8 10th (8) (200/1 -300%) Mhajim	200 200/1(-300%)	(8) Mhajim 200/1, AW novice winner for the Gosdens but has beaten only a couple home in 3 handicaps for new yard this summer. Three heavy defeats for current yard after an absence; too much to prove.
11th	11 11th (11) (66/1 -450%) Pink Jazz	66 66/1(-450%)	(11) Pink Jazz 66/1, Left previous efforts for this yard behind when winning 1m handicap here in February but hasn't been seen since. Tackles a significantly longer trip on return (has won over as far as 9.5f) and betting perhaps the best guide to what is expected. Bolted up over 1m here when last seen in Feb; 11lb rise and longer trip both raise doubts.

LTO Selection:

WADACRE GOMEZ had subsequent Sandown winner Born Ruler (third) behind when scoring comfortably at Chelmsford last time out, and the extra furlong in distance may only be a plus as he looks to follow up. Pink Jazz could not have done it any easier here when last seen in February, and he must enter calculations on his return, along with fellow course winner Masqool and Pablo Prince.

WADACRE GOMEZ has a steadily progressive record on AW and is narrowly preferred to fellow 3-y-o Born Ruler, who won nicely at Sandown last Friday. Masqool may prove best of the remainder.

With the form of his Chelmsford win receiving numerous boosts since, WADACRE GOMEZ (nap) can follow up off just a 3lb higher mark.

1	3 1st (3) (7.5/1 +32%) Longclaw	7.5 7.5/1(+32%)	(3) Longclaw 7.5/1, Winner at Ballinrobe in June. Good second of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Roscommon (11.6f, good to soft) 18 days ago, having run of race. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. Has been in fine form on turf this year and was just denied last time; placed on AW.
2	5 2nd (5) (8/1 +6%) S'all Good Man	8 8/1(+6%)	(5) S'all Good Man 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 7/1, good third of 13 in handicap at this C&D 72 days ago. Each-way shout. Dual C&D winner again ran well here in July; can go well after a break, so a player.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 -43%) Luke Short	5 5/1(-43%)	(6) Luke Short 5/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (11.6f, good to soft, 10/3) 18 days ago, finishing with running left. Makes polytrack debut and he has to be taken seriously. Last win was over 3 years ago at 1m; two fine runs last month but below that last time.
4	7 4th (7) (3/1 +40%) Palace Rock	3 3/1(+40%)	(7) Palace Rock 3/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft, 9/1). Off 8 months. Fairly useful on the Flat, good on last Flat run. Enters calculations. Has won a 1m4f maiden here and useful hurdler since; first run since December.
5th	14 5th (14) (17/2 -70%) Elzaamsan	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(14) Elzaamsan 17/2, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Fourteenth of 17 in handicap (12/1) at Navan (14f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Down to an attractive mark and not totally discounted. Maiden after 17 starts and has become disappointing so others preferred.
6th	9 6th (9) (9/2 +63%) Liberated Light	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(9) Liberated Light 9/2, Winner at Killarney in July. 11/4, bit below form second of 11 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good) 25 days ago. Safely held both previous starts on this surface. Won a Killarney maiden over 1m6f; distant 2nd in 1m4f Epsom amateur event since; player.
7th	2 7th (2) (16/1 +27%) Dalvey	16 16/1(+27%)	(2) Dalvey 16/1, Four-time course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Below form sixth of 12 in claimer (4/1) at Sligo (10.5f, good to soft) 44 days ago, left poorly placed. Four-time winner here has been poor on turf lately but can't be ruled out at this track.
8th	4 8th (4) (50/1 -100%) In Favour	50 50/1(-100%)	(4) In Favour 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, soft, 66/1) 48 days ago. Opposable. Dual winner in France years ago; has a chance on his Leopardstown 5th in May.
9th	1 9th (1) (17/2 -89%) Cold Steel	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(1) Cold Steel 17/2, C&D winner. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good, 40/1). Off 118 days. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Won twice here last winter but not as good in two turf runs in spring; not discounted.
10th	11 10th (11) (18/1 +10%) Killeemore Lad	18 18/1(+10%)	(11) Killeemore Lad 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fair winner at 19f over hurdles. 11/1, good third of 14 in handicap at Clonmel (16.6f, good) 15 days ago. Back down in trip and couldn't rule out. Dual purpose sort ran well over 2m at Clonmel last time and might find this a bit sharp.
11th	10 11th (10) (66/1 -65%) Rushford	66 66/1(-65%)	(10) Rushford 66/1, 66/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (18f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Significantly back down in trip for this polytrack debut. Dual winner in UK has been well beaten on the Flat for this yard lately.
12th	12 12th (12) (66/1 -65%) Patience Patience	66 66/1(-65%)	(12) Patience Patience 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Last of 8 in minor event hurdle (125/1) at Cork (16f, good to soft) 166 days ago. Off 166 days. Poor on last Flat run. Maiden hurdle winner in 2020 hasn't run on the Flat in a while and probably best watched.
8	8 \|RR\| (8) (16/1 +43%) Khadaash	16 16/1(+43%)	(8) Khadaash 16/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Course winner. Tenth of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Bellewstown (17f, good) 24 days ago. Back down in trip and he has something to find on form. Won over 2m here in March but was poor on return at Bellewstown last time.

LTO Selection:

KHADAASH will welcome a return to Dundalk. After a couple of third places here, he delivered over further in March which earned him a crack at a valuable handicap at Lingfield in April where he ran on for fifth. A run at Bellewstown towards the end of last month should have him primed for this assignment. Longclaw has had a productive time since switching back to Ireland and looks well worth another crack at the Polytrack. He finished out the back on his sole previous visit here, but showed an aptitude for all-weather tracks when finishing second at Newcastle, Wolverhampton and Kempton last year. With a win and three places accrued on Irish turf this year, he switches back to the sand in fine fettle. S'all Good Man has won two of his last four at this track and has an experienced apprentice on his back. Liberated Light and Killeemore Lad are also in the running for a cheque.

Provided he takes to this surface LUKE SHORT could well be the answer. The 6-y-o went close twice in big-field handicaps last month and it's probably best to draw a line through his latest effort at Roscommon where the refitted cheekpieces (discarded here) may not have aided his cause. Palace Rock was runner-up over this C&D on his latest start in this sphere (also second over hurdles during that month) and he will be a threat if fully tuned-up. Longclaw is third choice ahead of Cold Steel.

In tremendous form over the summer, LONGCLAW (nap) might be able to win again, having been agonisingly denied at Roscommon last time.

11th	10 11th (10) (22/1 -38%) Larkhill	22 22/1(-38%)	(10) Larkhill 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 8 in novice at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm, 150/1) 17 days ago. Back up in trip.

14th	5 14th (5) (28/1 -273%) Hill Station	28 28/1(-273%)	(5) Hill Station 28/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 21 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Modest on the Flat, creditable on last Flat outing. Below market expectations over hurdles last time and goes in first-time headgear here.

LTO Selection:

Although Nivelle's Magic is looking for her hat-trick here, she has been put up another 6lb by the handicapper for her Ffos Las success, which may force her to settle for a place. DEE'S DREAM also won last time out, with something in hand, and, although she has a 6lb penalty to carry, connections have decided to strike quickly while she is at the top of her game. Trusty Scout is noted too.

TRUSTY SCOUT continues to shape well and is more than capable off his reduced mark if things drop right for him. Last-time-out winners Nivelle's Magic and Dee's Dream are others to consider.

After a career-best effort on her first crack at 1m4f last time, NIVELLE'S MAGIC can defy a 6lb rise and complete the hat-trick.

17	17 (17) (14/1 +13%) Maura's Gift	14 14/1(+13%)	(17) Maura's Gift 14/1, Course winner. 7/1, last of 9 in handicap at Tramore (12f, good) 9 days ago. RESERVE. Won over 1m4f here last winter but has to rebound from a poor Tramore run; reserve.
1	8 1st (8) (4/1 +43%) Fairytale Princess	4 4/1(+43%)	(8) Fairytale Princess 4/1, 11/1, respectable ninth of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft) 20 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Makes polytrack debut. Maiden hasn't been beaten far in handicaps lately on turf and can get involved.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 +25%) Barretstown	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(4) Barretstown 9/2, Course winner. Ninth of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (9f, good to soft, 15/2) 9 days ago. Others make more appeal. Won over C&D in February; some decent runs since but has to rebound from a lesser effort.

5th	12 5th (12) (16/1 +0%) Tara Power	16 16/1(+0%)	(12) Tara Power 16/1, Course winner. 12/1, fourteenth of 18 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Others make more appeal. Sole win came over 1m here in 2021; has a chance on his Leopardstown 2nd in June.

Makes polytrack debut. RESERVE. Showed a glimpse of ability in maidens but has to improve on h'cap debut; reserve.
7th	1 7th (1) (9/2 +0%) Draco Pulchrac	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(1) Draco Pulchrac 9/2, Course winner. Creditable third of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Down Royal (10.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Well treated and return to this track will suit, so she makes plenty of appeal. Won twice here last year and back to form with a fine turf run last time; should go well.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 -133%) Hinemoa	28 28/1(-133%)	(7) Hinemoa 28/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Creditable eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (12f, 12/1). Off 6 months. Could feature if she's tuned up. Won twice over 1m4f here earlier in year; might need this first run since March.
9th	5 9th (5) (33/1 -65%) He Knows When	33 33/1(-65%)	(5) He Knows When 33/1, Fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good, 22/1) 29 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Ran his best race in a 1m maiden here in spring; up in trip after a poor 7f run last time.
10th	14 10th (14) (16/1 +20%) Lilac Lady	16 16/1(+20%)	(14) Lilac Lady 16/1, Bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap (15/2) at Roscommon (11.6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Difficult ask. Maiden has run well in some handicaps lately and shouldn't be far away if repeating best.
11th	6 11th (6) (20/1 +0%) Taxiing	20 20/1(+0%)	(6) Taxiing 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago, running on. Plenty to find on form. Maiden ran respectably on handicap debut at Down Royal last time and can do so again.
12th	15 12th (15) (16/1 -14%) Barrys Rock	16 16/1(-14%)	(15) Barrys Rock 16/1, Visored for 1st time, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Down Royal (10.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago, never nearer. Significantly up in trip. Chance on old form. RESERVE. Maiden after 21 starts under all rules but has a chance on his better runs; reserve.
13th	9 13th (9) (20/1 +50%) Ballycommon Chapel	20 20/1(+50%)	(9) Ballycommon Chapel 20/1, 300/1, twelfth of 18 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.8f, soft) 48 days ago. Modest on the all weather. Maiden hasn't delivered on her early promise and poor over hurdles lately.
14th	10 14th (10) (25/1 +0%) Double Martini	25 25/1(+0%)	(10) Double Martini 25/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2020. 14/1, below form seventh of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good) 24 days ago. Hard to know if he'll get the markedly longer trip. Just touched off over 1m here in April but is unproven over this far.

LTO Selection:

It was just three runs back that UNION FLAG came home second in a much better grade at Fairyhouse. His fifth in a big field at Leopardstown last month wasn't without merit. The handicapper has eased him by 2lb and 5lb-claimer Robert Whearty has been booked, so he's on an attractive mark for his Polytrack debut. Nevada Brave was a C&D winner in January and warmed up for another winter campaign with a close third over C&D last month. He has a solid chance. Top-weight Draco Pulchrac has banked two Dundalk successes, including this race last year, and should be a player in this company. Lucky Question could have plenty to offer on his first start on the Polytrack after a third place in Naas and a fifth in Cork.

DRACO PULCHRAC is handicapped to win and the return to this trip could see her get back to her best, so she's preferred to Nevada Brave who ran with credit over C&D last time. Fairytale Princess is another one to consider.

Stepping back up in trip after finding 1m1f too sharp at Leopardstown last time, UNION FLAG could be able to get off the mark.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	12 1st (12) (11/4 +50%) El Hibri	2.75 11/4(+50%)	(12) El Hibri 11/4, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 6/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Tony Carroll. Narrowly failed to land a gamble at Windsor last time; 1lb rise fair; new yard today.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/1 -25%) First Company	10 10/1(-25%)	(4) First Company 10/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm, 9/2) 16 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Hard to win with but he's capable at this level; others are more appealing.
3	11 3rd (11) (11/1 -10%) Diamond Dreamer	11 11/1(-10%)	(11) Diamond Dreamer 11/1, Blinkered first time, career best when winning 10-runner C&D handicap 23 days ago, always holding on. Only 3 lb higher and claims if the headgear works as well a second time. Blinkers sparked improvement when winning over C&D last month; contender up 3lb.
4	8 4th (8) (11/2 +8%) Oriental Spirit	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(8) Oriental Spirit 11/2, C&D winner. 6/4, ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 23 days ago but had been a creditable third at Bath prior to that. Well-handicapped C&D winner; strong pace would suit and he's one to take seriously.
5th	10 5th (10) (17/2 +6%) Bungle Bay	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(10) Bungle Bay 17/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 7/1) 49 days ago. Others more persuasive. Six solid runs since May, winning over this trip in July; should be in the shake up again.
6th	6 6th (6) (25/1 -39%) No Speed Limit	25 25/1(-39%)	(6) No Speed Limit 25/1, Three wins from 67 Flat runs. 11/2 and cheekpieces on first time, last of 9 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good) 19 days ago. Return to the AW can help and he should be well treated; still not easily recommended.
7th	7 7th (7) (7/2 +36%) Muy Muy Guapo	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(7) Muy Muy Guapo 7/2, 13/2, good second of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Enters calculations. 0-11 but went close at Salisbury last week and can race off the same mark; leading claims.
8th	1 8th (1) (5/1 +29%) Sympathise	5 5/1(+29%)	(1) Sympathise 5/1, Racked up a hat-trick in the first half of the year. Did too much too soon when sixth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (7f, good to soft, 11/10) in July and that probably shouldn't be taken to suggest the handicapper has got her. Tongue strap on first time. Expected to be bang there. Three wins this year; not at best last time but returns from break with a tongue-tie added.
9th	3 9th (3) (22/1 -193%) Guiteau	22 22/1(-193%)	(3) Guiteau 22/1, 15/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (1m, good) 19 days ago but had gone close at Epsom prior to that. Back down in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Free-going front-runner who hangs to his right; drop in trip may help but others preferred.
10th	9 10th (9) (25/1 -79%) Las Cuatro	25 25/1(-79%)	(9) Las Cuatro 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (5f, good). Off 91 days. First run for yard after leaving Ger Lyons. Worth a look in the betting from a handy draw. Didn't progress for G Lyons but starts out for new yard in a weak race; check betting.
11th	2 11th (2) (50/1 -79%) Marsh Lock	50 50/1(-79%)	(2) Marsh Lock 50/1, Cheekpieces on first time, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f, 25/1) 21 days ago. Blinkers tried now. Relatively unexposed and no shock were she to fare better in this lower grade but she's a hard one to be confident about. Well beaten in two runs for new yard; down in grade and new headgear tried; risky.

LTO Selection:

Diamond Dreamer kept on well to win over course and distance last month and warrants serious consideration despite an added 3lb from the handicapper, but preference is for SYMPATHISE. The winner of three in a row from April to June, she was beaten a little over seven lengths at Chepstow in July after pulling too hard but drops back a furlong here which may allow her to dominate. Bungle Bay is admirably consistent and is another likely to get involved.

SYMPATHISE had an excuse when her winning run was ended at Chepstow in July and is worth another chance to show she's still on a favourable mark. Muy Muy Guapo is unlikely to be far away if reproducing the form he showed when second at Salisbury last Friday, while Guiteau showed he can go close off this mark at Epsom 2 starts back.

He failed to reward good support last time but ORIENTAL SPIRIT is handicapped to win and he can get the better of El Hibri.

Booking of Hayes a plus. Merits consideration. Best form has been over this C&D, winning once and placed a number of times; a chance.
2	12 2nd (12) (5/1 -43%) Numidia	5 5/1(-43%)	(12) Numidia 5/1, Course winner. One win from 24 Flat runs. Respectable third of 13 in handicap at Punchestown (9f, good to soft, 10/1) 9 days ago. Likely to be on the premises. In good form here earlier in the year; solid at Punchestown last time; should go well.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/1 +30%) Deluca Chop	7 7/1(+30%)	(5) Deluca Chop 7/1, Course winner. Respectable sixth of 17 in handicap at Cork (12f, good to soft, 17/2) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. The last of his four wins came over C&D in February off 1lb higher; solid chance.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 +50%) Doctor Grace	10 10/1(+50%)	(7) Doctor Grace 10/1, Course winner. Below form eighth of 15 in handicap (40/1) at Gowran (8f, good) 16 days ago. Bit to prove at present. Got off the mark over 7f here in February but hasn't been as effective on turf recently.
5th	11 5th (11) (22/1 +0%) Gatsby Cap	22 22/1(+0%)	(11) Gatsby Cap 22/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 18 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft, 40/1) 20 days ago, not clear run. Tongue strap back on. Dropping down the handicap and not a bad Navan run over this trip last time; needs more.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 +11%) Mads Black Eights	4 4/1(+11%)	(2) Mads Black Eights 4/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (11/2) at Punchestown (9f, good to soft) 9 days ago, never nearer. Very much one to consider down in grade. Dual winner including over C&D last October off this mark; not the best of draws.
7th	4 7th (4) (12/1 +45%) Say You're Sorry	12 12/1(+45%)	(4) Say You're Sorry 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 8 in maiden at Leopardstown (9f, good) 36 days ago. Makes handicap debut. The best of four maiden runs was over this trip on debut in January; has to repeat that.
8th	14 8th (14) (33/1 +34%) Curzon Queen	33 33/1(+34%)	(14) Curzon Queen 33/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Tipperary (9f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Others make more appeal. Well beaten in three handicaps and has to find more from somewhere.
9th	8 9th (8) (9/2 +10%) Blackstone Cliff	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(8) Blackstone Cliff 9/2, Course winner. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Roscommon (12f, good to soft, 9/1) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Can make presence felt. Three C&D wins; below form lately over further; can do better back at this track.
10th	13 10th (13) (6/1 -71%) Romann	6 6/1(-71%)	(13) Romann 6/1, Course winner. Respectable fifth of 17 in handicap at Cork (12f, good to soft, 13/2) 23 days ago. Should be thereabouts. Dual C&D winner returned from a long absence this year and has run well at times on turf.
11th	1 11th (1) (25/1 +0%) Emperor Of Silk	25 25/1(+0%)	(1) Emperor Of Silk 25/1, 33/1, twenty first of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (9f, good) 84 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Anthony Mullins. Maiden after 9 starts for Tony Mullins but showed his best form at this track.
12th	6 12th (6) (50/1 +0%) Ten To Ten	50 50/1(+0%)	(6) Ten To Ten 50/1, Last of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good, 50/1). Off 99 days. Out of sorts when last seen and very hard to make a case for. The best of 6 runs came over 1m here in February; poor on turf since.
13th	10 13th (10) (40/1 +20%) Destined To Rock	40 40/1(+20%)	(10) Destined To Rock 40/1, Last of 14 in handicap (100/1) at this course (10.7f). Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving Garry Bernard Caldwell. Others more persuasive. Maiden has been well beaten at this venue when last seen and seems best watched.
14th	3 14th (3) (100/1 -52%) Landue	100 100/1(-52%)	(3) Landue 100/1, Hooded for 1st time, seventeenth of 18 in handicap (125/1) at Galway (12f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Rejoined yard after leaving Eamon Courtney. Four-time AW winner has been well beaten under all codes lately so isn't easy to fancy.

LTO Selection:

ROMANN should give Jamie Powell a good spin. This six-year-old gelding has won twice before in Dundalk and a reproduction of his run in a close third on penultimate start in Killarney would have him on the premises. Deluca Chop won over C&D in February and has a shot at doubling his career total. He hasn't been running badly on the turf, but a return to this surface offers a decent chance of another success as this isn't a strong contest. Mads Black Eights is capable of a big run as she enjoys this trip around Dundalk. A recent fourth in Punchestown indicates that she could go well.

MADS BLACK EIGHTS was nearest at the finish when fourth at Punchestown last time and this is a lesser contest, so he gets the nod over Romann, who should benefit from the return to this track. Numidia also merits respect.

It might be worth taking a chance on BLACKSTONE CLIFF, who is a triple C&D winner and has run well enough at times on turf this term.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
