14:00 Listowel Conditions Hurdle 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	11 1st (11) (2/1 +33%) Zaynab	2 2/1(+33%)	(11) Zaynab 2/1, Fairly useful dual Flat winner this spring. Hooded 1st time. Very interesting recruit to hurdles for a top yard which has won this race 3 times since 2018. Half-sister to smart hurdler Zanahiyr, brings strong credentials from the Flat, hooded.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 -67%) Teriferma	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(1) Teriferma 10/3, Took well to hurdling with wins at Killarney and Down Royal last month, jumping more fluently at the latter track. Likely more to come and every chance he can make it 3-3 in this sphere. Has made a fine start over hurdles, 10lb penalty makes this a tough task against Zaynab.
3	2 3rd (2) (2/1 +11%) Action Plan	2 2/1(+11%)	(2) Action Plan 2/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. 9/1, promising third of 13 in juvenile at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good) on NH debut 9 days ago. Open to progress. 1m Flat winner, made a solid start over hurdles with Ballinrobe third; open to improvement.
4	5 4th (5) (100/1 -203%) My Mate Tony	100 100/1(-203%)	(5) My Mate Tony 100/1, Modest at best on the Flat and pulled up on hurdle debut in July. First run for yard after leaving Joseph O'Brien. Would be a shock winner. Weak form on Flat for Joseph O'Brien, pulled up on hurdling debut at Tipperary in July.
5th	4 5th (4) (150/1 -200%) Bid Up	150 150/1(-200%)	(4) Bid Up 150/1, No form in 3 Flat starts ahead of this switch to hurdles. No sign of winning potential in three starts on the Flat, transformation required.
6th	10 6th (10) (20/1 -150%) Jlow	20 20/1(-150%)	(10) Jlow 20/1, Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Hooded for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, 10½ lengths third of 9 to Teriferma in juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good, 22/1) 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Beaten around 10l in third behind Teriferma at Down Royal, needs to jump better.
7th	9 7th (9) (11/2 +39%) Janes Harbour	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(9) Janes Harbour 11/2, 16/1, promise when fifth of 12 in Flat maiden at Cork (10.4f, good to firm) on debut 37 days ago. Should have more to offer now making a quick switch to hurdles but Teriferma has to be considered the stable first string on this occasion unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Ran a bit green at Cork last month on only Flat start, hurdle winners in her pedigree.
8th	6 8th (6) (20/1 -67%) Slowdownbarney	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) Slowdownbarney 20/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. 18/1 and blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 13 in maiden at Roscommon (12.1f, soft) 20 days ago. Makes hurdle debut. Probably flattered by his 78 official rating on Flat, poor run in blinkers on latest.
9th	3 9th (3) (125/1 -279%) Baron Blake	125 125/1(-279%)	(3) Baron Blake 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in juvenile hurdle (25/1) at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good) 9 days ago. Looks up against it. Fourth at Ballinrobe last month, not as good at same venue last time, held by Action Plan.
10th	7 10th (7) (250/1 -150%) Syosset	250 250/1(-150%)	(7) Syosset 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good, 80/1) 9 days ago. Struggled in Down Royal race won by Teriferma, held by Action Plan on Ballinrobe running.

Capable Flat performer ACTION PLAN ran well on his hurdling debut recently at Ballinrobe, where he finished his race nicely against more experienced rivals and is likely to improve for that experience. Gordon Elliott's Zaynab is an interesting hurdling recruit as the trainer won last year's renewal with Wodhhoh. Joseph O'Brien has won four of this season's six juvenile races, so Teriferma has to be noted.

TERIFERMA looks a useful early-season juvenile and can make it 3-3 over hurdles with further improvement likely, although a strong market move for Gordon Elliott hurdle newcomer Zaynab would put a slightly different slant on things. Action Plan was a promising third on his recent hurdle and should also play a prominent role.

Gordon Elliott's ZAYNAB is noteworthy as a dual Flat winner and half-sister to the talented Zanahiyr. She gets 17lb from Teriferma

1	5 1st (5) (2/1 +27%) Liberatus	2 2/1(+27%)	(5) Liberatus 2/1, 16,000 gns yearling, Iffraaj colt. Half-brother to numerous winners, including very smart 1m-1½m winner Mutual Trust and smart 7.6f-9.5f winner Kryptos. Green when sixth of 9 in novice (22/1) at Ripon (8f, good to firm) on debut 36 days ago, slowly away. May well do better. Half-brother to eight Flat winners; just under 2l behind The Lost Canvas at Ripon.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/11 +60%) The Lost Canvas	0.909091 10/11(+60%)	(6) The Lost Canvas 10/11, Free Eagle gelding. Dam, maiden (stayed 8.5f), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner (stayed 1¼m) Ahlaain. 25/1, showed a bit when fifth of 9 in novice at Ripon (8f, good to firm) on debut 36 days ago. Shaped with promise at Ripon, finishing one place in front of Liberatus; respected.
3	2 3rd (2) (100/1 -150%) Falaise Blanc	100 100/1(-150%)	(2) Falaise Blanc 100/1, Twice-raced gelding. 200/1, sixth of 10 in novice at Newcastle (8f) 10 days ago. Has the worst form claims among the runners with experience.
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 -20%) Gaelic Gladiator	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Gaelic Gladiator 12/1, Circus Maximus gelding. Dam 7f-8.6f winner. Stable not known for first-time-out winners. Debutant by Circus Maximus and first foal of a 7f-8.6f winner; market helpful.
5th	7 5th (7) (12/1 -433%) Miss Lalita	12 12/1(-433%)	(7) Miss Lalita 12/1, 4,000 gns yearling, Zoustar filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Monkmoor Pip. 50/1, fourth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 19 days ago, hands-and-heels ride. Step up in trip should suit and likely to improve. Possibilities, provided the form of her Newcastle AW effort is transferred to turf.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/1 -10%) Batman's Boy	11 11/1(-10%)	(1) Batman's Boy 11/1, Foaled March 28. Land Force gelding. Half-brother to 7f-1½m winner Silver Nightfall.

LIBERATUS was green when he finished sixth on his debut over a mile at Ripon last month, but he should have learned a lot from that outing and it would be no surprise if he found the necessary improvement to land the spoils. The Lost Canvas finished one place ahead of the selection in the aforementioned contest and he should be thereabouts once more, while Miss Lalita completes the shortlist having caught the eye when staying on into fourth over 7f at Newcastle first time out.

MISS LALITA showed enough at Newcastle on debut to suggest she can take this weak maiden. Liberatus and The Lost Canvas also showed a bit first-time out so rate the main threats.

Slight preference is for THE LOST CANVAS, who finished nearly 2l in front of Liberatus when they made their debuts at Ripon.

14:20 Plumpton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (4/9 +28%) Dameofthecotswolds	0.444444 4/9(+28%)	(6) Dameofthecotswolds 4/9, Bumper winner. Fair maiden hurdler. Made a good return from 4 months off when second at Worcester (2½m) 11 days ago. The one to beat. 0-9 over hurdles but ran well in two valuable handicaps in the spring; good chance here.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/1 -25%) Brave Jen	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Brave Jen 10/1, A fair hurdler for Nicky Henderson. Respectable start for new yard when fourth of 12 at Market Rasen (18.5f) in June but went backwards from that when seventh at Cartmel 6 weeks later. Has first-time cheekpieces added to her tongue tie. Went close in Listed novice last December but has lost her way since; cheekpieces added.
3	4 3rd (4) (18/1 -29%) The Dream Goes On	18 18/1(-29%)	(4) The Dream Goes On 18/1, Modest form when fourth in maiden hurdles at Worcester (2m/2½m) in recent weeks. The reopposing Dameofthecotswolds was just under 11 lengths ahead of her last time so she has work on to turn the tables. Not beaten far when fourth in two Worcester maidens but improvement is needed here.
4	2 4th (2) (80/1 -142%) Call Her Clever	80 80/1(-142%)	(2) Call Her Clever 80/1, Little promise in 2 bumpers for David Pipe last summer. Won a point in April but pulled up in a Market Rasen novice hurdle back under Rules in June, although she did gallop loose beforehand. Hood back on. Easy maiden point winner in April but pulled up on hurdle debut in June.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (3/1 +63%) Cherry Cola	3 3/1(+63%)	(3) Cherry Cola 3/1, Bagged 1¾m handicaps on the Flat at Yarmouth and Bath last year. Arrives fit from the Flat (creditable fourth at Bath in first-time cheekpieces last Sunday) but her 0-11 record in this sphere suggests she could prove vulnerable for win purposes again. Second in two C&D handicap hurdles in 2022-23 season and ran well on the Flat last week.

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

DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS continues to find a few too strong, but Nigel Twiston-Davies' filly will not get a better opportunity to get off the mark. It was one of her better efforts when second at Worcester earlier this month and while a few of these have a bit to prove, a similar level of performance might suffice. Zarhanya and Brave Jen are others to consider.

A reproduction of the form DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS showed when second at Worcester recently will probably be good enough to see her get off the mark. The chief threat may come from hurdle newcomer Zarhanya, who stayed on late for seventh in a big-field Cheltenham bumper in the spring and this longer trip should suit her now jumping.

Nigel Twiston-Davies' DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS was unable to justify favouritism at Worcester last week but can be given another chance.

14:30 Listowel Conditions Hurdle 20f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (5/2 -11%) World Of Fortunes	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(5) World Of Fortunes 5/2, Bumper winner who made a successful start to her hurdle career in a maiden at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 23 days ago, soon clear. Should progress. Beat a smart mare in a bumper last year, stayed 3m when winning on hurdling debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/10 +27%) Paggane	1.1 11/10(+27%)	(2) Paggane 11/10, Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable second of 7 in novice hurdle (15/8) at Killarney (22.8f, soft) 31 days ago. Trainer going well. Cheekpieces back on. Big player. Beaten by a longer-priced stablemate at Killarney, holds leading chance on overall form.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -25%) Disco Dancer	5 5/1(-25%)	(4) Disco Dancer 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Cork in July. Respectable third of 8 in minor event hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good, 6/1) 25 days ago. Holding her form quite well since Cork maiden win in July but needs to raise her game now.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 -23%) Ballycashin	8 8/1(-23%)	(3) Ballycashin 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Clonmel in May. Last of 13 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Killarney (22.4f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Bonce back needed. Experienced mare, took a long time to win over hurdles, had an excuse at Killarney latest.
5th	1 5th (1) (22/1 -144%) Lady Rita	22 22/1(-144%)	(1) Lady Rita 22/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 2/1, last of 4 in minor event hurdle at Killarney (20.4f, good) 66 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Experienced mare, below her best last twice, not well treated by the race conditions.
6th	6 6th (6) (250/1 -400%) Wayside Lady	250 250/1(-400%)	(6) Wayside Lady 250/1, Modest maiden on the Flat for 3 different stables. Has switched yard again ahead of hurdle debut. Outsider. Never placed in ten Flat starts for her three previous trainers, no hurdling experience.

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

WORLD OF FORTUNES has good bumper form and should progress from her recent winning hurdling debut. A jumping error at halfway slowed her momentum, but she eventually scooted clear to win well. Paggane has ability but is open to less progression than the selection and would also prefer a stiffer stamina test. Disco Dancer needs to improve to win in this company.

PAGGANE has the best form and can provide Wille Mullins with a third success in the last 4 runnings of this mares' event. Disco Dancer can give the selection most to think about ahead of last month's hurdle debut scorer World of Fortunes.

Bumper winner WORLD OF FORTUNES made a winning introduction to hurdles over 3m at Wexford and may cope with this rise in class

14:42 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (4/1 -45%) Kyber Crystal	4 4/1(-45%)	(4) Kyber Crystal 4/1, Consistent performer. Latest win at Musselburgh in August. 2/1, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Needs considering once more. Won at Musselburgh last month and made the frame in both runs since; in-form contender.
2	2 2nd (2) (18/5 -3%) Jack Of Clubs	3.6 18/5(-3%)	(2) Jack Of Clubs 18/5, Latest win at Beverley in July. Encouraging fourth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to soft, 11/2) 11 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Player eased 1 lb. Registered his sole turf success on soft going; drying ground may prove a negative.
3	11 3rd (11) (10/1 -122%) Royal Duke	10 10/1(-122%)	(11) Royal Duke 10/1, 66/1, much improved when second of 6 in novice at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Weighted to go well if backing it up. Close second in Musselburgh novice race last Sunday; possibilities if repeating the form.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 +0%) Lady Bouquet	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Lady Bouquet 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Last of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Newcastle (5f) 19 days ago so needs to bounce back. Last two attempts in 5f turf events resulted in wins off 3lb lower, including over C&D.
5th	8 5th (8) (13/2 +68%) Earn Your Stripes	6.5 13/2(+68%)	(8) Earn Your Stripes 13/2, C&D winner. Two wins from 41 Flat runs. 80/1, last of 9 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. Has made the frame several times this year but her long losing run is a negative.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/2 +55%) Sixcor	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(5) Sixcor 9/2, Latest win at Ayr in August. 25/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Can give a good account. Turned out quickly; not sure to back up Ayr effort, having proved inconsistent of late.
7th	3 7th (3) (28/1 -409%) Carmarthen	28 28/1(-409%)	(3) Carmarthen 28/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in July. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 5/1) 27 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Jack Channon and not ruled out. Record of 1-10 for Jack Channon, the win gained off this mark at Wolverhampton (AW).
8th	6 8th (6) (9/1 +55%) Back Tomorrow	9 9/1(+55%)	(6) Back Tomorrow 9/1, Below form ninth of 16 in handicap (25/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Southwell wins for previous yard; not particularly solid on her form for current stable.
9th	10 9th (10) (33/1 0%) Chris's Mate	33 33/1(0%)	(10) Chris's Mate 33/1, 40/1, below-form fourth of 6 in novice at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 7 days ago. More is needed. Maiden; holds poor claims on 2024 form.
10th	7 10th (7) (13/2 +19%) Cuban Rock	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(7) Cuban Rock 13/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 12/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Can make his presence felt if shrugging off latest effort. Successful off 1lb higher in July on last Hamilton appearance; interesting back here.
11th	9 11th (9) (100/1 -257%) Mews House	100 100/1(-257%)	(9) Mews House 100/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 9¾ lengths last of 7 to Kyber Crystal in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 28/1) 26 days ago. Others appeal more. 0-13 and sharply on the decline for current yard; big revival is required.

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

ROYAL DUKE hasn't cut much ice in handicaps recently, but his recent runner-up effort in a Musselburgh novice over 5f was an eye-catching display. Though this mark has proved beyond him in the past, he looks to have turned a corner and gets the vote to score now returning to handicap company. Kyber Crystal has been busy lately and, after shaping like she was still in form when third at Musselburgh last week, she can emerge as the main danger to the selection. Jack Of Clubs is also respected off 2lb higher than his last winning mark.

JACK OF CLUBS signalled he is ready to go in again when fourth at Carlisle last time so gets the vote off a 1 lb lower mark here. The reliable Kyber Crystal seems sure to be on the premises once more, while Royal Duke can have a big say if able to back up his improved recent Mussielburgh second.

Judged on current form and other factors, KYBER CRYSTAL looks more solid than most of her rivals. Cuban Rock is second choice.

14:50 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (13/8 -8%) Belgarum	1.625 13/8(-8%)	(2) Belgarum 13/8, Dual winner at Fontwell this summer, producing a career best when emphatically landing a 10-runner handicap chase there 23 days ago. 10 lb rise asks for bit more but he's very much on the shortlist. Comfortably drew clear at Fontwell last month, his second chase success there this season.
2	8 2nd (8) (18/1 -29%) Noah's Light	18 18/1(-29%)	(8) Noah's Light 18/1, Surprise winner under a change of tactics when opening his account over fences at Newton Abbot (21f, good to soft) in July but couldn't back that up when eighth of 11 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to firm, 12/1) 36 days ago. Opposable on balance of form. Made all at Newton Abbot two starts ago but held since; overall profile not convincing.
3	9 3rd (9) (8/1 +0%) Herecomeshogan	8 8/1(+0%)	(9) Herecomeshogan 8/1, Runner-up at Hereford in January but yet to make much of an impact since, only sixth of 13 in handicap chase at Worcester (16.5f, good) 11 days ago. Others are preferred. Prominent for a long way at Worcester (2m) recently and will be fine over this longer trip.
4	3 4th (3) (11/2 +39%) Lunar Contact	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(3) Lunar Contact 11/2, Fair form over hurdles for Alan King in 2022/23 but offered little back under Rules when last of 6 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Fontwell (21.8f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Has won a point, so may have more say making his chase debut. Winning pointer who is well handicapped on best hurdling form; of interest on chase debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/1 +14%) Almost Gotaway	6 6/1(+14%)	(1) Almost Gotaway 6/1, A three-time hurdle winner early in 2023. Off for over a year before making a satisfactory chase debut at Stratford in July but wasn't in same form when sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good) 34 days ago. Still not fully discounted in this company. Didn't fire last month but returned from long absence with pleasing chase debut in July.
6th	5 6th (5) (20/1 +20%) Ray's The One	20 20/1(+20%)	(5) Ray's The One 20/1, Little recent show over hurdles and came off the bridle some way out when fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, good) on debut over fences 63 days ago. Difficult to fancy. Out of form on Flat/over hurdles for a while, and made no impact on chase debut in July.
7	7 \|F\| (7) (7/2 +42%) Invictus De Brion	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(7) Invictus De Brion 7/2, Poor maiden hurdler but did show aptitude for chasing when 17 lengths third of 10 to Belgarum in handicap chase (9/2) at Fontwell (21.6f, good to firm) fences 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. 17l behind Belgarum when third on recent chase debut but that was still a good effort.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (50/1 -400%) Definite	50 50/1(-400%)	(4) Definite 50/1, Fairly useful performer at best on Flat (stays 1¼m) but failed to better poor form in 5 starts over hurdles last summer. Doesn't strike as an obvious winner switched to chasing after 14 months off. 0-5 over hurdles; makes stable/chase debut after long absence and has stamina to prove.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (125/1 -89%) Churchtown Glen	125 125/1(-89%)	(11) Churchtown Glen 125/1, Fair hurdler/chaser at his best but it's been several years since he's shown anything worthwhile and there's no reason to think he'll fare any better on return from 16 months off. 0-21 over fences; absent since pulled up over hurdles here in May 2023 and is 10lb wrong.

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

BELGARUM could hardly have been more impressive when bolting up over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell last month. Joe Tizzard's gelding isn't fully exposed over the larger obstacles, so a 10lb hike looks manageable. Invictus De Brion finished well behind in third that day, but is 11lb better off now and first-time cheekpieces could spark some improvement. Almost Gotaway is also noted.

BELGARUM is an obvious selection in this field after his facile success at Fontwell last time. Invictus de Brion was third in that contest and can make the placings again with chase experience now under his belt, with Almost Gotaway a modest pick for third.

The pick is winning pointer LUNAR CONTACT, who might have needed his recent hurdle run and now makes his chase debut from a good mark.

1	7 1st (7) (12/1 +40%) One Night Standard	12 12/1(+40%)	(7) One Night Standard 12/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Winner in hurdle at Wexford in May. Respectable seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20.4f, good, 12/1) 66 days ago, needing stiffer test. Open to improvement. Remote third on handicap debut at Downpatrick, posed no threat at Killarney in July.
2	15 2nd (15) (6/4 +67%) Straight Home	1.5 6/4(+67%)	(15) Straight Home 6/4, 5/6 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Timothy Townend and gambled on when good 6¾ lengths third of 11 to Stormalong in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.4f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Step back up in trip will suit and remains of interest. Third behind Stormalong at Tramore when strongly fancied on stable debut, may do better.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/1 -83%) Stormalong	11 11/1(-83%)	(2) Stormalong 11/1, 28/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, third of 11 in maiden at Gowran (14f, good to soft) on flat debut 19 days ago, slowly away. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Respected. Won at Tramore with Straight Home back in third, decent effort on the Flat last time.

STRAIGHT HOME was well enough held on her first run for new connections last month but shaped as though she might improve stepping up in distance. Today's extra yardage should help and she is 7lb better off with the winner that day Stormalong. La Hacienda hasn't fully transferred her Flat form to hurdling but nonetheless was a Sligo winner in July and should again compete from her manageable rating.

STRAIGHT HOME was unable to land a gamble starting out for this yard when third at Tramore but it was still an improved effort and she can make amends over this longer trip. Katherine arrives on the back of an emphatic win at Kilbeggan so is feared most ahead of Ask Cillian, who showed improved form when off the mark at Killarney.

There was strong market support for STRAIGHT HOME at Tramore. She may reverse form with Stormalong on altered terms

Best to forgive latest effort; fighting chance on peak form.

KINGSLEY PRIDE showed a likeable attitude when winning readily under this rider over an extended 1m4f at Musselburgh last week and, easing slightly in trip, he looks the one to side with. Bay Dream Believer was thwarted in her hat-trick bid when third over 1m2f at Beverley last month, but she shaped like she was still in form on that occasion and must enter calculations in a race of this nature. Though his recent form leaves something to be desired, Dr Foster is also respected with cheekpieces reapplied.

BAY DREAM BELIEVER comes here in top form and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of her excellent Beverley handicap third. Midnight Lion should strip fitter for his recent Musselburgh fourth so could emerge as the main danger to Mark Walford's mare, with Dr Foster and Kingsley Pride also in the picture if bringing their respective A-games.

Assuming he's back to form, this looks a good opportunity for DR FOSTER to double his tally. Kingsley Pride is second choice.

Second back on the level last time and he looks to hold leading claims. Won on the Flat in June and was clear second on hurdle debut in July; the one to beat.

Character Testing was the highest rated of these on the Flat and finished a respectable third on his hurdles/stable bow at Fontwell last month. He can progress now, but it is ROGUE KING that shades preference. In decent form on the level, he filled the runner-up spot over timber at Stratford in July and is the one to beat on that evidence. Gary and Josh Moore often do well around here, so Our Papa Smurf warrants a market check.

ROGUE KING has been in good form since the application of a visor, showing promise when runner-up at Stratford on his hurdling debut in July, so he is taken to go one better this time around. Character Testing also has the benefit of hurdling experience and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Little Venice.

After running a big race in defeat on his hurdling debut, ROGUE KING appears to have been found a very good opportunity here.

JASKO DES DAMES disappointed twice in April but ran nicely behind some smart types at the Galway Festival, where he finished ahead of subsequent winners. Keen-going Uncle Pat also ran satisfactorily at Galway and more recently at Kilbeggan. Will Wilde was reported to have made a noise in running at Cork in January but had previously won at Sligo. Bumper winner Ballysax Hank has plenty of size for hurdling.

UNCLE PAT holds the edge on form and with this drop back in trip also rating a plus he is fancied to gain a first win in this sphere. Jasko Des Dames rates much the biggest threat on the back of his good Galway fifth last time out, with Fast Felix appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

The one to beat is JASKO DES DAMES, whose maiden hurdle form is the best on display but has to prove himself over this trip

Powerdress bounced back to form when accounting for her nearest rival by half a length at Kempton last time and provided she can transfer that form to turf, she ought to go close. However, MIDNIGHT AFFAIR looks the way to go. Richard Fahey's three-year-old made the frame in a deeper event than this at Thirsk earlier in the month and she was kindly dropped 1lb for that display. If she can run to a similar level, she could prove very hard to beat. Last-time-out winner Nariko is another to note.

There could be more to come from lightly-raced 3-y-o NARIKO, who can make light of a 7 lb rise for her win a very competitive race at Haydock in the spring and deny Iris Dancer a third successive win in this race. Recent Kempton scorer Powerdress completes the shortlist.

Hamilton specialist IRIS DANCER is taken to complete a hat-trick of wins in this race. Powerdress is second choice.

4	8 4th (8) (4/1 +67%) Addosh	4 4/1(+67%)	(8) Addosh 4/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 2 days ago, running on. Others have achieved more. Went close at Newton Abbot on Friday but will be 7lb wrong if she turns up here..
5th	5 5th (5) (7/1 +0%) Junkanoo	7 7/1(+0%)	(5) Junkanoo 7/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat and too well hurdles last winter, finishing runner-up 3 times before taking a C&D novice. Shaped better than result when eighth of 15 in Kempton handicap hurdle in April. Should be sharper for a recent outing on the Flat. Considered. C&D novice winner in January and reverts to hurdling on a workable mark; shortlisted.
6th	7 6th (7) (5/2 -11%) King's Castle	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(7) King's Castle 5/2, Has very much gone the right way over hurdles this summer, completing a 4-timer between May and July. Improved again when only narrowly failing to make it 5 in a row at Perth last month and a further 2 lb nudge is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing. Very progressive this season, winning four in a row, and may yet have a bigger run in him.
7th	6 7th (6) (18/1 -80%) Donnie Azoff	18 18/1(-80%)	(6) Donnie Azoff 18/1, Got back on track when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m, good to firm) in July but not in the same form when fifth at Worcester since. Good second to Enthused two runs ago but not so good last time, and remains on tough mark.
8th	2 8th (2) (13/2 +19%) Rewired	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(2) Rewired 13/2, Won 2m handicaps at Doncaster and Taunton over the winter and ended last season with a respectable sixth of 19 at the Aintree Grand National meeting in April. Below form in the strong Summer Handicap at Market Rasen on reappearance in July but can do better back in slightly calmer waters. Took form to new level during the winter but well held last time and needs new PB here.

KING'S CASTLE's sparkling run of form was halted possibly momentarily when taking the silver medal home at Perth on his latest outing. Prior to that display, he recorded four victories in a row and the seven-year-old may not have finished his progression just yet. Rewired failed to land a blow in a warmer event last time, but he could get closer off a 1lb lower mark. Of the remainder, Donnie Azoff makes the most appeal after his fifth at Worcester.

The thriving KING'S CASTLE has had the form of his latest Perth second boosted by the winner since and can gain a fifth success of the season. Junkanoo took well to hurdling last season and should be all the sharper for a recent spin on the Flat. Enthused is another likely to have a say.

A C&D novice winner last season, JUNKANOO gets the vote in this hope his recent Flat run has brought him on.

A four-time winner in France, JORDANS catches the eye on his debut for Joseph O'Brien. Runner-up over fences at Pau in January, the five-year-old has the potential to make up into a decent novice in the coming months. It is surely significant that JJ Slevin has elected to ride the son of Coastal Path rather than stablemate San Salvador. The latter, who won his maiden hurdle at this venue, would have been just about the best of these over flights. Although yet to reach those heights in four starts over fences, he has shaped well on a couple of occasions. Gua Du Large, a novice chase winner at Tramore on his penultimate start, has plenty of experience over fences. It would be no surprise to see the eight-year-old play a leading role.

JET SETTING JIM possesses much the best form on view so looks the way to go. San Salvador is feared most on the back of his resurgent Galway fourth, with in-form pair Gua du Large and Jazzy Matty also worthy of consideration.

French import JORDANS has chasing experience and may be equal to the task on his Irish debut. Jet Setting Jim rates a danger

2	8 2nd (8) (7/2 +65%) Tilsitt	3.5 7/2(+65%)	(8) Tilsitt 7/2, Twenty six runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good, 14/1) 2 days ago, finding little. Significantly down in trip. Last won in July 2022 but often thereabouts and can't be ruled out from place calculations.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/1 -29%) Shahnaz	9 9/1(-29%)	(7) Shahnaz 9/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Carlisle in July. Fifth of 7 in handicap (11/4) at this course (8.3f, good to firm) 50 days ago. Others more persuasive. All five wins have been at either Hamilton or Carlisle, including two this summer.
4	9 4th (9) (14/1 -40%) Wadacre Tivoli	14 14/1(-40%)	(9) Wadacre Tivoli 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (6/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 54 days ago, having run of race. More needed. Needs to improve but she's 3yo, far less exposed than most of these, so it may be possible.

First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when sixth of 8 in novice at this course (11.1f, heavy, 33/1) 30 days ago. Makes handicap debut and could do better. Sold out of Joseph O'Brien's after second start; needs improvement on this handicap debut.

One to consider back down in trip. Won at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in May; runner-up on next two starts and hampered on latest.

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

Epidavros beat She's Got Bottle (second) by just over a length at Carlisle earlier in the month and she can confirm that form to mount a bold bid off 4lb higher. However, the vote goes to four-time course winner SHINE ON BRENDAN, who finished a close-up fourth over 1m2f at Redcar last month and is off an unchanged rating. Jim Goldie's seven-year-old remains on an appealing mark and looks well placed to regain the winning thread.

EPIDAVROS was well placed when opening her account at Carlisle but she did it readily and looks capable of following up. 4-time course winner Shine On Brendan is feared most ahead of Naturalia.

Slight preference is for the 3yo EPIDAVROS ahead of Naturalia and She's Got Bottle.

2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 +25%) Nevendon	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) Nevendon 12/1, A fair 2m hurdle winner but not the most consistent and went backwards from chasing debut when pulled up at Bangor. Others appeal more. Not disgraced on chasing debut in June but struggled at Bangor recently; too unreliable.

Dug deep to hang on at Newton Abbot (2m5f) last month and can cope with this shorter trip.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 -56%) Stormin Crossgales	3.5 7/2(-56%)	(1) Stormin Crossgales 7/2, Headstrong sort who doubled his tally in this sphere when hanging on to score at Huntingdon in May. Backed that up when excellent second at Market Rasen following month and can go well fresh. Big player. Returned to form with two very good runs in the spring and remains on a workable mark.

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

Stormin Crossgales was denied by two lengths into second in this grade at Market Rasen in June and he should go well off a 6lb higher rating. However, it may pay to side with ALIEN STORM, who has run well off higher marks over hurdles and the son of Getaway might prove a different proposition over fences. Last-time-out winner Kauto The King is another to consider.

STORMIN CROSSGALES can go well fresh and may get the run of things in this small field. The in-form Kauto The King is the obvious threat.

This return to Plumpton is a big plus for chasing debutant ALIEN STORM, who is selected to exploit a favourable mark.

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

On a tight track such as this, JE T'AI PORTE could prove a hard mare to pass. The Gavin Cromwell-trained six-year-old gave an exhibition of jumping for the most part when runner-up at Ballinrobe last time. Only for an uncharacteristic mistake four out, she would have really made a much higher rated rival pull out all the stops. Back in handicap company here, she appears to hold strong claims. A maiden hurdle winner here earlier in his career, I A Connect should appreciate returning to this course. The nine-year-old is quite lightly raced over fences, so still has scope for improvement despite his age. Presenting Lad runs off a career high mark but having won his last three starts the Mark McNiff-trained gelding has to be respected.

I A CONNECT should be all the better for his recent Killarney fifth and is fancied to capitalise on an attractive mark now at the chief expense of Je T'Ai Porte who comes here on the back of a good Ballinrobe second. Handicap debutant Magic Tricks, a stablemate of the selection, is another who can have a say along with Kilbeggan-scorer Good As Hell.

The one to be on though is MAGIC TRICKS(nap) off a mark 11lb lower than over hurdles in first-time blinkers. He will be hard to beat

Slow start when winning at Carlisle in June with first cheekpieces; two poor runs since.
6th	2 6th (2) (5/1 +0%) Rough Diamond	5 5/1(+0%)	(2) Rough Diamond 5/1, Back to winning ways at Dundalk in July on final start for Edward Lynam. Returned to a similar level when second of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (6f) 12 days ago and he can give another good account. Close second at Newcastle (AW) 12 days ago but has more to do on this summer's turf form.

Without a success so far this season but good efforts on his last 2 starts, second of 15 in handicap at this C&D (good, 17/2) 40 days ago. Respected from 1 lb below his last winning mark. Win record dominated by soft or heavy, but two of his close calls lately were good to soft.

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

IMPRESSOR has been knocking on the door at class 4 level of late and he holds leading claims on this drop in grade. The seven-year-old is only 1lb higher than last month's close-up second over C&D and a first victory in 2024 looks imminent. Fellow in-form rival Rough Diamond, a three-time turf winner, will have no issue with a return to this surface. Tristan Davidson's gelding is feared most, ahead of Ramon Di Loria.

HIERARCHY shaped well in a change of headgear when third at Salisbury 9 days ago, coming from much further back than the front pair, so he could be ready to take advantage of his career-low mark. He can see off the challenge of Impressor, who has returrned to form when runner-up on his last 2 starts, while Inanna is also one to note.

Impressor would need good to soft or preferably softer. The vote goes to INANNA who has been climbing the ladder again recently.

3	3 \|PU\| (3) (100/1 -203%) Quickbuck	100 100/1(-203%)	(3) Quickbuck 100/1, Fair hurdler at best, had lost his way when last seen 10 months ago. Can only be watched for new yard back from absence. Out of sorts in Ireland last year; makes stable debut with a lot to prove.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (200/1 -100%) No Guarantee	200 200/1(-100%)	(9) No Guarantee 200/1, Little show in bumpers/over hurdles (including in handicap). Struggled when 125-1 for handicap debut in May and is effectively 8lb higher here.

Greatness Awaits has filled the top two places on his last three outings and is expected to give a good account off 2lb higher than his most recent second at Market Rasen. However, the step up in trip might be a negative and, with that in mind, THE DARK EDGE gets the nod. The five-year-old took a step in the right direction to fill the runner-up spot on handicap debut at Huntingdon in April and he could be the one to beat off only a 1lb higher mark. Sami Bear completes the shortlist.

GREATNESS AWAITS continues in good form and can notch up another victory if his stamina holds out. R S Ambush and Sami Bear are a couple of the other likely players.

This looks good for GREATNESS AWAITS (nap), who has remained in good form since his 2m hurdle win in June and should be suited by 2m4f.

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (7/2 +50%) Cappucino	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(3) Cappucino 7/2, Fair hurdler. 7/2, below form sixth of 12 in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.6f, soft) 7 months ago, possibly amiss. Placed 3 times in bumpers. Back in a bumper here after six months off but no surprise should he improve for the run.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/2 +22%) Prove Yourself	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(9) Prove Yourself 7/2, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 8 in bumper (9/2) at Roscommon (15.9f, soft) 12 months ago. Good chance if ready to go. Stable still going well and this one already has shown he can run well fresh; contender.
3	13 3rd (13) (7/4 +42%) Supreme Ruler	1.75 7/4(+42%)	(13) Supreme Ruler 7/4, Once-raced maiden. Promising third of 13 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, soft, 15/2) 7 months ago. Makes bumpers debut and a big player. Off seven months from hurdles debut but looks a leading contender here on his bumper debut.
4	2 4th (2) (18/1 -300%) Bayrann	18 18/1(-300%)	(2) Bayrann 18/1, Third of 12 in bumper (22/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 30 days ago. Entitled to improve. Good third in a Kilbeggan bumper last month; should improve but faces a stiffer task.
5th	1 5th (1) (50/1 +0%) Amron Diamond	50 50/1(+0%)	(1) Amron Diamond 50/1, Sixth of 12 in bumper at Killarney (17f, soft, 25/1) 31 days ago. Showed some ability when mid-division in a Killarney bumper last month; much more needed.
6th	5 6th (5) (50/1 -25%) Disco Boy	50 50/1(-25%)	(5) Disco Boy 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 15 in bumper (40/1) at Tramore (16.4f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Should appreciated going left-handed and one that could potentially outrun his likely odds.
7th	11 7th (11) (7/2 -115%) Steppingstone	3.5 7/2(-115%)	(11) Steppingstone 7/2, 5/2, third of 12 in bumper at Killarney (17f, soft) 31 days ago. Good chance for top yard. No luck in running at Killarney last month; more needed but he should not be far away.
8th	7 8th (7) (150/1 -50%) Lord Lackendarra	150 150/1(-50%)	(7) Lord Lackendarra 150/1, 150/1, tenth of 15 in bumper at Cork (18.4f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Sixth in a Killarney bumper on rules debut in July but no better at Cork last month.
9th	12 9th (12) (100/1 -203%) Stonecarthy	100 100/1(-203%)	(12) Stonecarthy 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 15 in bumper (12/1) at Tramore (16.4f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Poor run at Tramore last month but that was coming off a reasonable effort at Wexford.
10th	6 10th (6) (150/1 -127%) Golden Regal	150 150/1(-127%)	(6) Golden Regal 150/1, Fifth of 7 in bumper at Killarney (16.4f, good to soft, 66/1) on bumper debut 29 days ago. Weakened late when reverting to bumper at Killarney last month; others much more likely.
11th	4 11th (4) (14/1 +30%) Champagne Mal	14 14/1(+30%)	(4) Champagne Mal 14/1, Once-raced maiden. 13/2, sixth of 15 in bumper at Cork (18.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 48 days ago. Ran quite well on his debut in a Cork bumper last month; much more needed but will improve.
12th	10 12th (10) (40/1 -21%) Rusty Finure	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Rusty Finure 40/1, Ascalon gelding. Dam unraced. Newcomer with a good jumping pedigree but probably best watched this time.
13th	8 13th (8) (125/1 -279%) Moment Of Prayer	125 125/1(-279%)	(8) Moment Of Prayer 125/1, Barely A Moment gelding. Dam ran twice over hurdles. Quite speedily bred newcomer and best watched today.

The Willie Mullins-trained STEPPINGSTONE has shown enough on his last two starts to suggest he can take this finale. Having had a valid excuse when pulled up on his racecourse debut last August, the gelding has reached the frame on both runs this season. Despite being somewhat vulnerable to a more unexposed horse, the Masterstroke gelding sets a fair standard. Bayrann kept on well for third on his recent debut at Kilbeggan. The Tim Doyle-trained five-year-old is entitled to be very competitive if coming on from that initial effort. Supreme Ruler is hard to assess having had just the one start over flights. Although a well beaten third at Punchestown in February, the first two have franked that form subsequently.

SUPREME RULER made a bright start in a Punchestown novice hurdle in February and makes plenty of appeal returning in a bumper. Steppingstone is feared for Willie Mullins, while the returning Prove Yourself is a player.

The selection is SUPREME RULER, who did quite well on his hurdles debut at Punchestown in February despite some very poor jumping

Still unexposed at this trip and has to be respected from 5 lb higher mark. Off the mark with strong finish at Carlisle (1m3f) on latest start, encouraging for 1m4f.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/4 +44%) Susiesparkle	1.25 5/4(+44%)	(7) Susiesparkle 5/4, First run since leaving D. Broad when 7/2, improved on recent efforts to win 15-runner handicap at Thirsk (12f, good) 6 days ago, suited by way race developed. Escapes penalty for that success and has to be shortlisted again. Made the breakthrough in smooth style at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) on Monday; same mark.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/1 +8%) V Twelve	6 6/1(+8%)	(1) V Twelve 6/1, Course winner. Latest win here in July. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good, 9/2) 46 days ago. Back up in trip. Respected. 1m3f win here and creditable third over 1m2f; return to 1m4f is likely to suit; player.
4	2 4th (2) (28/1 -100%) Val Bassett	28 28/1(-100%)	(2) Val Bassett 28/1, Increasingly temperamental on Flat for David O'Meara but showed some aptitude when third of 6 in novice hurdle (28/1) at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) on NH debut 29 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Others preferred. Way down weights after disappointing 2023 and 2024; second run for yard; first tongue-tie.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 +7%) Thats My Boy Luke	7 7/1(+7%)	(3) Thats My Boy Luke 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 4/1, second of 5 in maiden at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 27 days ago, no match for winner. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Will find this tougher. Ripon 2nd (1m2f); 1m4f is highly plausible, as is more improvement on this handicap debut.
6th	8 6th (8) (8/1 -23%) Roman Secret	8 8/1(-23%)	(8) Roman Secret 8/1, Creditable third of 5 in handicap (11/8) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. Place claims. This campaign has been a struggle and she needs better than her third of five on AW latest.
7th	4 7th (4) (10/1 -122%) Jaminoz	10 10/1(-122%)	(4) Jaminoz 10/1, Added to good record here when won 7-runner handicap at this course (11.1f, soft, 10/3) 18 days ago, having run of race. Not taken lightly from 3 lb higher mark. Regular here, narrow winner 18 days ago; ground softer than good looks important to him.
8th	10 8th (10) (20/1 -67%) Epona Pas	20 20/1(-67%)	(10) Epona Pas 20/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 3¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Jaminoz in handicap (5/1) at this course (11.1f, soft) 18 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Others preferred. 16-race maiden; pretty consistent this summer but needs to find extra.
9th	9 9th (9) (50/1 -52%) Bristol Hill	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Bristol Hill 50/1, Unreliable type. Course winner. Latest win here in July. 40/1, below form seventh of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good) 40 days ago. Others make greater appeal. Latest win at Hamilton in July on final start for Kevin Frost; not the percentage call.
10th	5 10th (5) (50/1 -52%) Amasar	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Amasar 50/1, Last of 6 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm, 16/1), finding nothing. Off 106 days. Easy to look elsewhere. Tailed off latest; wind surgery later in June and off since; mixed messages but unexposed.

Having relished the heavy ground when scoring over 1m3f here earlier in the month, another prominent showing is forecast from Jaminoz. However, the combination of a 3lb higher rating and a quicker surface may leave him vulnerable, with fellow last-time-out winner SUSIESPARKLE fancied to follow up. Iain Jardine's filly escapes a penalty for her recent victory in an apprentice event at Thirsk and she should take all the beating if coping with a quick turnaround. The progressive Ribble River could also feature.

SUSIESPARKLE made a successful stable debut at Thirsk earlier in the week and is able to race without a penalty, so looks the clear pick at the weights here. Ribble River was better than ever when scoring at Carlisle last month and remains unexposed at the trip, with Jaminoz also respected after his win here earlier in the month.

Off the same mark as when winning smoothly at Thirsk on Monday, SUSIESPARKLE (nap) should score again if she's in the same form.

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.
