A mile might stretch RIGHT AND TRUE's stamina but good ground should help him and his form is good. A consistent performer, the horses who defeated him in a heavy-ground 7f Galway maiden last month have won afterwards, while the winner of his Naas race similarly scored subsequently and his recent Champions Festival-placing reads well. Nobler, drawn wide in 14, ran promisingly on Galway debut where he finished his race quite well. He looks sure to improve and should be suited by a mile, but that Galway race wasn't overly strong and he now steps up meeting the selection. J M's Joy was a Navan eye-catcher last month and again has place claims, under a light weight.

A repeat of the form RIGHT AND TRUE has shown on his last 2 outings might be good enough here. Nobler rates an obvious danger after his promising debut third at Galway last month. Fivefortwo showed definite ability when sixth in a big field at Leopardstown on his debut and looks best of the rest.

It was notable how well backed FIVEFORTWO was at Leopardstown and his yard's juveniles usually sharpen up a lot for a run
Class & Speed Card

Despite filling the runner-up spot over slightly further here last month, Temper Trap was somewhat underwhelming. Tim Easterby's gelding is likely to feature, but REBECCA'S GIRL is more compelling. The four-year-old only gave way in the closing stages when a close-up third over C&D earlier this month and a 2lb higher rating might not be enough to prevent another bold showing. Four-time track-and-trip winner Retirement Beckons also warrants a second look.

TEMPER TRAP rates the pick at these weights so is taken to end a long losing run and bag a sixth success here. Top-weight Rebecca's Girl looks the one to give Tim Easterby's gelding most to do ahead of another course specialist Retirement Beckons.

This looks a good opportunity for the in-form REBECCA'S GIRL (nap), who has continued to run well since winning at Carlisle last month.
Class & Speed Card

Four-year-old DROP THE DIP is already a dual course-and-distance winner and her rating has recently fallen to a manageable level. Ground-versatile, she has failed to place this year but ran satisfactorily twice at the Galway Festival. While well held at that venue recently, she is 2lb lower today, has a nice draw and should compete. Three-year-old Dancing Steve seemed to benefit from dropping in distance recently and while 4lb higher than when winning at Tipperary, his same jockey was unable to utilise his 3lb claim then, and the third-placed horse has subsequently won. Nibras Rainbow defeated Shoot To Kill to score at Killarney and while he is 4lb higher and was beaten subsequently at Roscommon, today's rider claims 7lb.

Last year's winner DROP THE DIP is back on a good mark and might prove the answer to this race again. Nibras Rainbow arrives in form and is second choice ahead of recent Tipperary winner Dancing Steve and Wrist Art, who chased home the selection in this last year.

Wayne Hassett won twice on WRIST ART last term and Tim Doyle's 7yo, second in this year ago, seems to be running into a bit of form
Class & Speed Card

Having gone close on her debut at Nottingham in June, the attractively bred KOULIKORO is taken to go one better on this first run since.
Class & Speed Card

Beny Nahar Road is respected on his stable debut but DUMB LOVE ran well in two Irish maiden hurdles last month and is preferred.
Class & Speed Card

The obvious one is Irish 1,000 Guineas also-ran Finsceal Luas but she is taken on with FINAL CURTAIN who shaped well on debut
Class & Speed Card

C&D winner INVINCIBLE ANNICE brings a solid profile and is the selection ahead of grade-dropper The Dragon King.
Class & Speed Card

Irish raider SADIES DIAMOND is threatening her breakthrough success and today might be the day.
Class & Speed Card

Preference is for veteran SIRJACK THOMAS, who is fine over this trip and underlined his return to form by winning a rated race at Galway
Class & Speed Card

MOONHALL CHURCH steps up to seven furlongs for the first time and has the champion jockey on board. She has run creditably in all three starts and was on a slower part of the track when a couple of places behind Kurrawa at Navan earlier in the month. She may be able to turn around the form with that rival who showed much improved form when staying on well for third place on the favoured stands' side after being off the bridle from an early stage. The daughter of Tamayuz should be suited by a return to this trip. Kitty Bear finished well when placed in a nursery over this distance at Down Royal and is another to consider.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and KITTY BEAR is taken to build on her good Down Royal third and get off the mark Dundalk debut fourth Muine Mor is next on the list ahead of Moonhall Church and Sassy Sox.

Based on an improved display on her third start KURRAWA looks good enough to win a race of this nature.
Class & Speed Card

This may be between the two progressive 3yos. PAPAGEI has won his last two and is preferred over Minstrel Knight.
Class & Speed Card

A few with chances but assured stamina ticks a big box for MR YEATS and Lord Accord, who both arrive in form.
Class & Speed Card

Such was the authority with which ROBBIES ROCK won over 1m6f at Navan on Saturday, he is very hard to oppose under a mandatory penalty
Class & Speed Card

Narrow preference is for RODEEVE who ran a lovely race at Gowran on her return from a break and she should improve plenty for that.
Class & Speed Card

The mare LADY CELIA has continued in good form since winning over C&D in July, which was her third victory here.
Class & Speed Card

Although still a maiden over hurdles, KOPA KILANA scores highly on consistency and he bumped into one last time.
Class & Speed Card

The one to beat could well be NO NIKI NO(nap), who has kept her form well and the form of her win at Sligo last time was well advertised
Class & Speed Card

Several have claims but the vote goes to HAILEY YA MAL who was runner-up over C&D last time and is a big player if he can back that up.
Class & Speed Card

The most solid option looks to be FIVECROMWELLPLACE. He is in good form, he has won at this trip and quick ground will suit.
Class & Speed Card

Showhound responded well to the application of cheekpieces (retained) when finishing an excellent third over 6f at Chester recently, and he must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. However, GUNDOGAN is narrowly preferred . Ed Bethell's charge fairly bolted up in first-time blinkers (retained) on his penultimate start over 6f at Carlisle, before shaping like he was still in good nick when faring best of those held up off the pace in a Leicester handicap most recently. A 3lb rise for a recent C&D success doesn't discount Game Breaker either.

SHOWHOUND showed the benefit of cheekpieces when a resurgent third at Chester last time and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now with the heagear retained. Game Breaker is feared most on the back of a recent C&D success, with in-form duo Gundogan and Wichahpi also in the picture.

The consistent filly WICHAHPI can notch her third win of the season. Gundogan may still be capable of better in the blinkers.
Class & Speed Card

EIGHTYTWO TEAM made eye-catching late headway when finishing runner-up over an extended 2m5f at Market Rasen last month and, with the step back up in trip promising to suit, she gets the vote to land the spoils off an unchanged mark. Whataboutyeh has been expensive to follow on his last couple of starts but has slipped to an attractive mark and looks the main danger to the selection. Ingennio shaped like this return to further will suit when finishing second over an extended 2m6f at Stratford latest and he completes the shortlist.

WHATABOUTYEH hasn't been seen for 14 months but should have more to offer in low-grade staying handicap chases if all is well and is worth chancing. Debacle would be very interesting if the subject of market support starting out for Fergal O'Brien. Getaway Glory and Ingennio also make the shortlist.

David Pipe's CHEMICAL WARFARE (nap) arrives here in a good run of form and he's not yet fully exposed as a thorough stayer.
Class & Speed Card

With the form of his recent Curragh third having worked out exceptionally well, the Noel Meade-trained YOUNG CHURCHILL can open his account at the fifth time of asking. The winner of that aforementioned contest went on to land a premier handicap on Champions Weekend, while the second won her maiden next time out. Despite taking on a couple of unexposed potential improvers here, the gelding has crucial experience which should stand to him. Trapalanda ran a huge race on debut when runner-up at the Curragh in June. He subsequently backed up that performance when occupying a similar position at Roscommon. Strolling sets the standard off a mark of 82 but on collateral form she has something to find with Young Churchill.

It could be a case of third time lucky for TRAPALANDA, who has shown plenty of ability in finishing runner-up in maidens at the Curragh and Roscommon. Strolling will be a big threat if she puts her best foot forward, while Timurshah is third choice. Il Sovrano should pick up a race in due course and If You Let Me can be expected to leave last week's belated Flat debut form well behind in time.

the twice-placed TRAPALANDA has achieved plenty in defeat both times and will not need to improve to win this
Class & Speed Card

Target Man was only beaten by half a length by an 83-rated rival over track and trip on his latest outing and that display gives him a leading chance. However, GOOD BANTER may have more scope for improvement after a highly-encouraging runner-up effort on his debut at Salisbury. With normal progression, he could be the one to beat. Any market support for Oceans Charm should not be ignored.

A potential match between GOOD BANTER and Target Man, with the former getting the vote having narrowly found one too strong on debut at Salisbury last month. George Boughey's colt improved from his debut 5 months earlier when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago and he may have to settle for a hat-trick of silver medals, with Peter The Wolf and debutante Oceans Charm taken to fight out third.

Target Man has the highest RPR coming in here but both Peter The Wolf and GOOD BANTER may progress past him.
Class & Speed Card

NELDA was a promising type for Jessica Harrington and made short work of inferior rivals when fitted with cheekpieces on stable debut at Killarney in July. Paddy Twomey has given her plenty of time and the daughter of Dark Angel could be on a nice mark for this handicap debut. Nightcliff, a Curragh maiden winner at two, had respectable form at stakes level last year and should have come on from her stable debut at Tipperary which was her first run in over a year. She is another entering handicap company for the first time. Vivienda is fitted with blinkers after narrowly defeating C&D maiden winner Four Blondes at Gowran and the latter is preferred in their rematch.

A group to view positively on the whole with BELLAPHINA just about the most persuasive option having shaped well from her handy mark at Roscommon 3 weeks ago. Four Blondes and Byzantine Express are just a couple of potential threats.

The well-related NELDA got off the mark when slamming weak opposition on her stable debut and is potentially well handicapped.
Class & Speed Card

In what looks a trappy finale, GENTLE ELLEN gets a tentative vote. She showed up well for a long way before fading into sixth, having raced keenly in the early stages, over 7f at Haydock recently and, dropping back to 6f off 2lb lower, this could be the time to catch her. Many A Year wasn't seen to best effect when finishing fourth over 6f at Wolverhampton latest but is considered eased 2lb, while Rain Cap is noted too.

MANY A YEAR hinted at a revival when a recent fourth at Wolverhampton so gets the vote off a reduced mark. C&D scorer Gentle Ellen is another who figures on an attractive mark so she could emerge as the chief threat if back on song. Rosenpur should prove suited by dropping back in trip and also commands respect in this very open sprint.

The lightly raced 5yo MANY A YEAR produced a positive performance at Wolverhampton recently and gets the nod.
Class & Speed Card

CLOUDY VIEW (first) belied his inexperience to got the better of Fiskardo (third) when the pair met in a Uttoxeter bumper in July and, having been subsequently been snapped up by his astute connections, the former can confirm his superiority over that rival en route to victory once more. Lowlands made a pleasing start when finishing fourth over that same C&D on her debut in July and she also merits consideration with the promise of more to come.

LOWLANDS displayed plenty of ability when fourth starting out at Uttoxeter in July and with a couple of winning hurdlers coming from that race, the form looks pretty solid. She therefore gets the vote, with Fiskardo and Cloudy View (starting out for new connections) feared most.

Nicky Richards' mare LOWLANDS made a very encouraging debut against her own sex at Uttoxeter in July and might be the answer.
Class & Speed Card

The James Barcoe-trained RAIN can register a first Irish success under the in-form Nathan Crosse. A winner in France earlier in her career, the daughter of Sea The Moon has run well in higher grades than this throughout the summer months. Although somewhat disappointing at Clonmel last time, she is given the benefit of the doubt as she was forced to make the running in a small field. Redwood Queen, a six-time winner over hurdles including at this track, rates a live threat. Charles Byrnes saddled the runner-up in this race last year and in the shape of the seven-year-old, he looks to have a well handicapped mare. The Truant has been done no favours from a wide draw but is entitled to be competitive on his most recent form.

DUTY BOUND was success over fences last time and is appealing back in this sphere off an attractive mark. If Bold Approach puts his best foot forward he will be a big threat, while Red Secret should be in the thick of things once again. Desert Friend could have a part to play, too, and six-time hurdles winner Redwood Queen is interesting on her handicap bow in this sphere.

Dual-purpose performer THE TRUANT has been in good heart this summer and his last two pieces of Flat form give him good claims
Class & Speed Card

GEORGINIO has failed to fire in each of his three starts to date, but he has been gelded since his latest effort at Newcastle and Archie Watson's juvenile makes his nursery debut off what looks a fair mark of 67. The booking of Luke Morris catches the eye and he gets a tentative vote. One Road ran a lot better than his odds suggested he would when fifth at Kempton last time and he might get into contention on his first start in a nursery. Yehudi completes the shortllist.

With so many of these tackling handicap company for the first time the betting promises to be informative. YEHUDI is one who has shown definite promise in his 3 qualifying runs and gets the vote under Billy Loughnane. Georginio and Dandy G Boy are others with similar profiles to selection.

A raft of potential improvers on show in a trappy race. Zoulu Warrior and ONE ROAD may prove the pair with most potential.
Class & Speed Card

It's possible that nursery winner RUDI'S APPLE may be slightly flattered by his three-figure mark but his Group 3 third at the Curragh behind improving sprinter Ides Of March is good form in the context of this Listed heat. That came on fast ground and the son of No Nay Never should take a bit of beating with underfoot conditions likely to be similar. Itsatenfromlen beat a subsequent Listed winner when scoring for the second time at Chantilly and is fitted with a tongue-tie after an absence of three months. Easy Mover and Vingegaard both made the running when finishing fourth at stakes level last time and the former may be suited by cutting back to this trip from 7f.

DUDI'S APPLE's decisive nursery win is just about the best form on offer and having found the going tough in Group company twice since, is selected to make the most of a slight ease back on class. Easy Mover and Revel Diamond are the main threats on achievement so far, but there are some potential big improvers lurking, notably One Smack Mac.

The experience gained at a higher level than this may help RUDI'S APPLE to account for One Smack Mac and Itsatenfromlen
Class & Speed Card

Surprise Picture bids to repeat last year's victory in this and has to come into calculations, having won again here earlier in the month. FOREVER A DIAMOND also won over C&D in April and, having shown signs of a resurgence when going close in first-time blinkers at Kempton a week ago, she may prove the one to side with. Sonmarg has yet to win a handicap but is usually in the mix at this level, while Pinball Wizard is another to note.

PINBALL WIZARD seems to be finding his feet for James Owen and is taken to deny Surprise Picture a second successive win in this race. Forever A Lady and Sonmarg complete the shortlist.

Surprise Picture and FOREVER A DIAMOND may be the pair to focus on. The latter is marginally preferred.
Class & Speed Card

The Emmet Mullins-trained RED CHARLIE is a somewhat speculative suggestion on handicap debut. Having raced too free on his first couple of runs, the War Of Will gelding was held up in order to help him settle at the Curragh last time. With that objective achieved, he could be a different proposition back over 6f here. Curragh nursery winner King Thistle is 7lb higher now but travelled nicely throughout that latter race so might have a little more to offer even off this revised mark. South Shore Island, who was sent off favourite on his racecourse debut over course and distance back in June, could be capable of better in first-time cheekpieces. James Ryan takes a valuable 3lb off the Michael O'Callaghan-trained colt.

SOUTH SHORE ISLAND stuck to his task in pleasing fashion when third at the Curragh a month ago and he may well have a nursery such as this within his compass. King Thistle must concede plenty of weight all round but he did it nicely last time, with Zambales another to consider if allowed to take his chance.

Preference is for SOUTH SHORE ISLAND. His yard is hitting form, he shaped well on handicap debut and cheekpieces could eke out more.
Class & Speed Card

Battle Point made a bold bid from the front at Lingfield recently, only to be caught in the shadow of the post by ZENO. A similar outcome is expected today, given the latter travelled well throughout the race and there looks more to come from the son of Iffraaj off only 2lb higher. Marcus is edging closer to opening his account and found only one too good again on the Polytrack last time, while Battleofbaltimore is preferred of the remainder.

MARCUS has gone close in similar races in recent weeks and perhaps this will be his day. The fact Next Second knows where the winning post is over C&D makes her a possible threat having dipped to her last winning mark. Banana arrives in form and is another likely to be on the premises.

This looks a bit trappy but recent Lingfield winner ZENO gets the vote ahead of Marcus and Banana.
Class & Speed Card

Back in the bottom grade for the first time since winning over course and distance in May, the Michael Grassick-trained AMANIRENAS can register a sixth career success. Having raced over a mile on her latest two starts, the five-year-old should appreciate returning to sprinting. The cheekpieces which were left off on her most recent outing have also been reapplied here. Gegenpressing, who suffered a nightmare passage when fourth behind the selection here in May, should also be better over 6f having raced over the minimum trip in recent outings. Blue Wood is interesting with champion jockey Colin Keane a significant booking and he could go well if turned out quickly following his Gowran Park second on Saturday.

A chance is taken on BLANC DE NOIR, who hasn't threated of late but he's plummeted down the weights (now 13 lb below the mark off which he was a close fifth in a big-field handicap at the Curragh in June) and this drop back in trip looks a good move. I'm Spartacus was starting to knock on the door prior to a low-key effort tried in a visor last time (headgear swiftly dispensed with) and he is second choice ahead of Hero of The Hour and Jazzy Dancer.

A speculative vote goes to JACKIE BROWN, a C&D winner for Tony Martin last year and now running off 7lb lower for a good 3lb claimer
Class & Speed Card

The application of cheekpieces appeared to work the oracle for QUICKFIRE at Yarmouth last month. Mark Loughnane's inmate stayed on well to score over a mile and gave the impression this extra distance would suit in the process. Blacklion also steps up in trip after scoring over 7f here and can make his presence felt if lasting home, while Northstead Gardens and Harlington are both worthy of a second glance.

The one who appeals most is BLACKLION on the back of his recent success over 7.2f at this course. He did well under the circumstances on that occasion and this stiffer test could be right up his street. Lightning Bay and Northstead Gardens are taken to fill the places.

An open race in which NORTHSTEAD GARDENS gets the vote ahead of the last-time-out winners Quickfire and Blacklion.
Class & Speed Card

Although she hasn't always looked the easiest of rides, BAILEYS WARRIOR possesses the ability to land a race of this nature. Thomas Faulkner's mare is now 1lb below her last winning mark and a return to the all-weather holds no fears. Humaniste arrives on the back of some creditable efforts in defeat on turf and is feared most, ahead of stable debutant Bigz Belief, who posted a respectable fourth at Tipperary at the start of the month.

Irish-import BIGZ BELIEF took a step back in the right direction when fourth off this mark on his final start for Matthew Smith at Tipperary earlier this month and he could be the answer. He is unproven on this surface but his credentials are otherwise appealing. Baileys Warrior wasn't at her best at Ffos Las last time but she can be expected to bounce back with a bold show returned to the all-weather, while Breccia and Humaniste are live each-way contenders.

Preference is for the reliable BAILEYS WARRIOR, who has won at 2m and was a good second over 1m6f here on her penultimate run.
Class & Speed Card

Waleyfa has been revitalised by a change of scenery, as evidenced when making a winning stable debut at Brighton last month. A subsequent runner-up effort and another victory on the south coast shows she's in really good nick and another bold bid is expected from the penalised six-year-old. LADY AVA makes slightly more appeal up in distance, though. The New Bay filly was a never-nearer second over 7f at Southwell last time out and this trip looks worth exploring. Shaka is also noted.

WALEYFA made it 2-3 for this yard at Brighton recently and she looks more than capable of enhancing that record under a penalty here. She may have most to fear from We'renotreallyhere, who failed to fire at Epsom but was in good heart prior to that. Lady Ava and Shaka are others to consider.

Top of the list is WALEYFA (nap), who made it 2-3 for her current yard when scoring with something in hand at Brighton last Tuesday.
Class & Speed Card

Having scored over 1m2f at Lingfield earlier this month, the progressive Newfangled warrants respect. However, the combination of a 5lb higher rating and drop in distance may prove his undoing, with last-time-out C&D winner CUBAN HARRY taken to complete a double. Ed Dunlop's gelding capitalised off a career-low mark that day and a 4lb rise looks workable. Bay Of Australia and Offiah's Boy have the form to feature as well.

This slight drop back in trip should prove ideal for BAY OF AUSTRALIA, who was collared in the closing stages when a clear second over 9.5f here a fortnight ago. He is taken to open his account at the twelfth time of asking. Newfangled did the job well at Lingfield recently and, still unexposed on the all-weather, he is a much-respected main danger. Cuban Harry and Offiah's Boy, first and third respectively over C&D earlier this month, should both be on the premises once again.

Cariad should go well at this level but there are several reasons to expect an improved showing from KING OF SPEED this evening.

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.
