13:40 Roscommon Maiden Hurdle 16f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	12 1st (12) (15/2 +53%) Wonleg	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(12) Wonleg 15/2, €30,000 3-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Dam, modest maiden hurdler (stayed 21f), closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Arthur's Quay. Failed to land a blow when fifth of 14 sole start between the flags in May but he's of interest on Rules debut nonetheless. Not a bad run in a point-to-point, nicely bred, in good hands and can't be discounted.
2	9 2nd (9) (9/4 +10%) Saint Le Fort	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(9) Saint Le Fort 9/4, Promising individual. 8/1, 9¾ lengths third of 10 to Shuttle Diplomacy in listed bumper at Limerick (16.2f, heavy) on bumper debut when last seen in March. Showed promise on hurdling bow at Punchestown 2 months earlier and he's open to improvement. Ability both starts, placed in a Listed bumper when last seen, may need this after break.
3	5 3rd (5) (13/8 +13%) In The Trenches	1.625 13/8(+13%)	(5) In The Trenches 13/8, Fair hurdler. Evens and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 13 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.9f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Now 0-10 over hurdles and beaten favourite on 4 of his last 6 starts but he's a strong contender all the same. Dual-purpose, 0-10 over hurdles and rated 109, second six times, obvious claims.
4	2 4th (2) (18/1 -50%) Biggerthanbigtime	18 18/1(-50%)	(2) Biggerthanbigtime 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 15 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Tongue strap on 1st time. Poor on last hurdle outing and looks vulnerable. Rated 110 over hurdles; out of form on the Flat on most recent outings; others preferred.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 +44%) Empire Succes	9 9/1(+44%)	(3) Empire Succes 9/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in novice hurdle (10/1) at Wexford (16.9f, good to soft) on NH debut 31 days ago. Each-way chance if able to build on that. Had a future maiden winner behind at Stradbally, promise at Wexford, could go well.
6th	4 6th (4) (33/1 +50%) Gimme A Buzz	33 33/1(+50%)	(4) Gimme A Buzz 33/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to fair 2m hurdle winner Dreamsrmadeofthis, stays 2¼m. Dam smart winning hurdler up to 2½m. One to note in the betting. Soldier Of Fortune gelding has a nice pedigree and is worth checking in the market.
7th	11 7th (11) (18/1 -177%) Spinola Bay	18 18/1(-177%)	(11) Spinola Bay 18/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 12 in bumper (4/1) at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 141 days ago. Will need to leave that effort well behind now sent hurdling but he's in good hands and is worth a second look. Beaten 21l when 4-1 for his hurdling debut, off since, may need the ground to dry out.
8th	6 8th (6) (50/1 -150%) Kobalt St Georges	50 50/1(-150%)	(6) Kobalt St Georges 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. Sixteenth of 25 in bumper (16/1) at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft) on bumper debut 153 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles and improvement needed. Hasn't shown enough in his two hurdles and a bumper, qualifies for a mark after this.
9th	10 9th (10) (80/1 -21%) Silent Selector	80 80/1(-21%)	(10) Silent Selector 80/1, €5,000 3-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Up For Review and fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Oscar Thyne, stays 23f. Little impact both starts in maiden points. Promise in second point-to-point, off 135 days, probably best watched on rules debut.
10th	14 10th (14) (50/1 -257%) Ladies Well	50 50/1(-257%)	(14) Ladies Well 50/1, €22,000 3-y-o, Mahler filly. Dam 2m-2½m hurdle winner (stayed 2¾m), also 1½m winner on Flat. Interesting to see what the market makes of this filly. Mahler filly, out of a hurdle and Flat winner, nicely bred debutante, check the betting.
11th	13 11th (13) (200/1 +0%) Keyser Smokesy	200 200/1(+0%)	(13) Keyser Smokesy 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, good to soft) 158 days ago. Back down in trip. Well-beaten in both starts and hard to make a case for, may be a longer term project.
12th	15 12th (15) (9/1 -170%) Native Sparkle	9 9/1(-170%)	(15) Native Sparkle 9/1, Getaway filly. Dam, dual bumper winner, closely related to very smart hurdler (stayed 3m) Fire Dragon. Appealing on paper and she needs close attention in the betting. Nicely bred Getaway debutante from respected source, not dismissed if strong in market.
13th	8 13th (8) (40/1 -100%) Notimelikedpresent	40 40/1(-100%)	(8) Notimelikedpresent 40/1, Ocovango gelding. Half-brother to fair 19f hurdle winner Crecora Hills and fair hurdler/chase winner Search For A Myth. Pulled up sole start between the flags but Mark Walsh prefers him to Gimme A Buzz and it'll be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting. The choice of Mark Walsh, pulled up in a point-to-point 211 days ago, market check advised.
14th	16 14th (16) (150/1 -127%) Wishes And Dreams	150 150/1(-127%)	(16) Wishes And Dreams 150/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 10 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code. Dual-purpose maiden; 0-2 over hurdles, modest Flat form, may be one for handicaps.
15th	7 15th (7) (20/1 -82%) Lord Raven	20 20/1(-82%)	(7) Lord Raven 20/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Fourth of 16 in handicap (15/2) at Galway (7f, good) 20 days ago. It remains to be seen if he will have the required stamina for this game. Flat recruit rated 67, positive jockey booking for hurdles bow, check the market.
16th	1 16th (1) (100/1 +0%) Ardskeagh Nia	100 100/1(+0%)	(1) Ardskeagh Nia 100/1, Sageburg gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Brownstone. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 29f) Sugar Baron. Entitled to come on for the run. Sageburg gelding, related to a winner over hurdles, probably best watched on debut.

Runner-up six times in his last seven starts, IN THE TRENCHES is given another chance to get off the mark. He had Empire Succes eight lengths back in fifth when doing little wrong in first-time cheekpieces at Wexford last time and the filly who beat him has scored on the Flat since. Saint Le Fort showed promise in a winter maiden at Punchestown before being placed in a bumper when last seen in March. Lord Raven, from a predominantly jumping yard, has shown plenty of ability on the Flat and is one to consider on his hurdling debut. Native Sparkle, whose dam was a dual bumper winner for her trainer Barry Connell, is a newcomer to note.

This represents a good opportunity for SAINT LE FORT, who confirmed the promise of his Punchestown hurdles debut when third in a listed bumper at Limerick during the spring. He is likely to improve now returned to this sphere and can consign In The Trenches to another defeat. The latter is not short of ability but patience is starting to wear thin given that he was turned over at odds of 6/4 or less for the fourth time at Wexford last month. Newcomer Native Sparkle is one to note in the betting.

A chance is taken on EMPIRE SUCCESS. He was behind \bIn The Trenches\ on latest but will strip fitter now and may turn that around.

13:50 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (2/1 +11%) Hour By Hour	2 2/1(+11%)	(4) Hour By Hour 2/1, 11/8, improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at this C&D (soft) 26 days ago. 5 lb rise manageable and he has to be taken seriously. Second win when scoring over C&D last time; conditions suit; up 5lb; contender.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/8 +38%) Inanna	1.875 15/8(+38%)	(5) Inanna 15/8, Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap (9/2) at this C&D (good) 8 days ago. Shade more will be needed under a penalty but she's one to consider nonetheless. In fine form; 7lb higher than when winning over C&D last time but a leading contender..
3	6 3rd (6) (17/2 -143%) So Grateful	8.5 17/2(-143%)	(6) So Grateful 17/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 11/4) 35 days ago, well positioned. Just 1-28 on turf and others make more appeal for win purposes, for all that he has the assistance of Serena Brotherton. Last won in July 2023; well treated and creditable efforts on last two starts; interesting.
4	8 4th (8) (22/1 +12%) Endowed	22 22/1(+12%)	(8) Endowed 22/1, Fifth of 9 in handicap (20/1) at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 31 days ago and this 7-y-o again looks vulnerable. Ex-Tony Carroll; mainly modest form for present connections; better is needed.
5th	7 5th (7) (28/1 -100%) Ballyare	28 28/1(-100%)	(7) Ballyare 28/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 17/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 63 days ago. Blinkers back on. Opposable. 2-26 on turf; not in the best of form recently and others look more convincing.
6th	1 6th (1) (15/2 -15%) Lady Celia	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(1) Lady Celia 15/2, Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at this course in July. 13/2, sixth of 7 in handicap back here (5f, good) 7 days ago. That wasn't one of her better efforts but she's 1-1 under Amy Collier and will have a chance if on-song. Two wins (one C&D) earlier this year; below par latest start (hampered); each-way chance.
7th	2 7th (2) (6/1 +8%) Bay Breeze	6 6/1(+8%)	(2) Bay Breeze 6/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Creditable 3 lengths third of 9 to Inanna in handicap at this C&D (good, 10/1) 8 days ago. Each-way shout if able to back that effort up but one or two of these appeal more from a win point of view. Conditions suit and he's on a good mark, but 3l behind Inanna over C&D last week..

Trainer Tim Easterby won this with a five-year-old in 2022 and will attempt to repeat the feat with recent C&D third Bay Breeze, who has won off higher marks but not since 2023. He can go well under Emily Roberts, but preference remains with INANNA, who won going away here last time out and reappears carrying a 5lb penalty. She will need a career best off this mark but she seems to be improving and there may be more to come, leaving So Grateful to follow them home.

Though below par over 5f here last week, LADY CELIA is of strong interest reunited with Amy Collier, who partnered the mare to success on their sole previous collaboration at Carlisle in May, and with the recent rain in her favour (the 7-y-o has a good record on good to soft/soft). She will face stern resistance, though, with last-time-out C&D winners Hour By Hour and Inanna both feared greatly.

The in-form INANNA (nap), who is 7lb higher than when winning here last time, is taken to win from another C&D winner Hour By Hour.

2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 +13%) Moonhall Lass	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(1) Moonhall Lass 13/2 Improvement at Dundalk; cheekpieces worn then now left off; drop in trip to suit.
3	2 3rd (2) (15/2 +17%) Barton Key	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(2) Barton Key 15/2 Didn't stay 7f on soft latest; drops in trip here off 3lb lower mark so don't rule out.
4	8 4th (8) (11/2 -22%) Eric Lock	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(8) Eric Lock 11/2 Behind three of these rivals at Naas; no obvious reason why he should reverse the form.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +9%) Weegeebear	5 5/1(+9%)	(6) Weegeebear 5/1 Changed yards since recent Naas third; rider's claim could prove crucial here.
6th	12 6th (12) (28/1 +30%) Ink Sketch	28 28/1(+30%)	(12) Ink Sketch 28/1 Well held at Naas recently behind several of these; 4lb wrong and hard to make a case for.
7th	7 7th (7) (40/1 -150%) Rumba Bay	40 40/1(-150%)	(7) Rumba Bay 40/1 Lots to find on recent Naas running behind several of these; cheekpieces tried now.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/1 +25%) No Straight Swaps	9 9/1(+25%)	(4) No Straight Swaps 9/1 Good bit to find with Billie Be Quick on recent Naas handicap run though; blinkers tried.
9th	9 9th (9) (18/1 +10%) Sovereign Affair	18 18/1(+10%)	(9) Sovereign Affair 18/1 Relatively unexposed on handicap debut but opening mark looks on the high side.
10th	11 10th (11) (12/1 +14%) Alcedo Atthis	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) Alcedo Atthis 12/1 Keen at Naas recently; blinkers now fitted and down 5lb so don't rule out.

Runner-up in a similar race at Naas 11 days ago, EL FONTENARO had a few of these trailing in behind her that day and she can go one better here with that appearing to be a key piece of nursery form. Weegeebear was just a head behind in third that day and is a must for the shortlist now facing his old rival off the same terms. The class-dropping Barton Key is respected having dropped 3lb from her nursery debut, while Moonhall Lass completes the shortlist.

ERIC LOCK took a step back in the right direction at Naas and gets the vote down another 3 lb in a race that doesn't look as strong. El Fontenaro and Weegeebear are a couple of the others to consider.

FIELD A THISTLES has run well against geldings on her last two starts at Galway and Ballinrobe and looks a leading contender back in mares-only company. Mags Mullins' ground-versatile charge landed a bumper over this trip in July and has a nice bit of hurdling experience after four starts over flights. The 5lb claim of Conor Stone-Walsh is another point in her favour. Grooveykindoflove represents a top yard and showed plenty of promise last term. She went close at Wexford when last seen and a five-month absence is not a major concern. Downpatrick bumper winner Blacksmiths Forge made a pleasing start over hurdles at Sligo and stepping up in trip should help her cause.

Provided she is fully tuned-up following a break, GROOVEYKINDOFLOVE may well go one better than when second to Kiltealy Park (winner again since) on her latest start at Wexford in April. She remains open to improvement, a remark which also applies to several of her rivals, not least Mexican Moonshine, who was beaten by an experienced rival on her recent introduction at Ballinrobe. Lady Nightingale is third choice ahead of Blacksmiths Forge, Diamonds Diva and Field A Thistles.

Preference is for FIELD A THISTLES. The drop back in trip will suit and her Galway fourth looks solid form in the context of this race.

Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at this course (9.2f, good) 8 days ago. In good form until below-par fifth here latest; three-time C&D scorer can bounce back.

7th	3 7th (3) (9/1 -80%) Makalu	9 9/1(-80%)	(3) Makalu 9/1, 4 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Ayr in July. 4/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good to soft) 19 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Just failed behind Likleman here before that and got to enter calculations. Didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eighth at Carlisle latest; likely to be in the mix.
8th	9 8th (9) (10/1 -122%) Tilsitt	10 10/1(-122%)	(9) Tilsitt 10/1, Awkward sort. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2022. Gambled-on 7/2, good second of 9 in handicap at this course (9.2f, good) 8 days ago, keeping on, his tongue lolling out all the while. Tudhope takes over from 7 lb claimer. Interesting to see if the money comes again. In decent nick, runner-up here eight days ago; he can make his presence felt once more.

Came good at this time last year and it's looking that way again. Back on track with Ayr third latest; scored twice at 1m last autumn; weighted to go well.

Gainsbourg has two C&D wins to his name and he races off just 1lb higher than his last success making him one to consider here. Top-weight Contrast would have every chance with Lewis Chalkley taking 7lb off his back, but he has missed the break on a few occasions this season and that may hand this to BAY DREAM BELIEVER. Second in a class 4 seller last time out and only beaten a length, she is a consistent sort who may bowl along on the front end dropping back to this trip.

MAKALU wasn't seen to best effect at Carlisle and is better judged on previous form, not least his close call behind Likleman here before that. He gets the vote over Mount King and Tilsitt.

Tim Easterby's MOUNT KING struck twice over 1m last autumn so looks the way to go on the back of a resurgent Ayr third last time out

WONDERFULWONDERFUL possibly has the best form on offer after being beaten less than a length into third at Naas, but that was a maiden claimer and she will need to improve again to take this. Fairhaven is an obvious danger after she came home third at Roscommon last month and she can go well if her visor helps, but the once-raced State Of Joy may be the bigger danger. Only eighth here over C&D earlier this month, she looked the sort to learn plenty for that experience.

WONDERFULWONDERFUL took a big step forward when third at Naas and looks the way to go. Fairhaven has a race in her, while Arctic Steps is 1 of 2 interesting newcomers for Jessica Harrington.

Recent Naas third WONDERFULWONDERFUL (nap) looks the one to beat off her low weight

Former bumper winner LISPENDENSE can gain a belated first success over hurdles. The Denis Cullen-trained gelding missed a year and a half through injury before returning for a Flat campaign last April. Having shown he retained ability, the nine-year-old was subsequently sent hurdling, finished a close-up second on his handicap debut at Cork last month. A reproduction of that effort would almost certainly suffice in this company. Warmer Days Ahead has been gradually getting closer in recent starts. The Oliver McKiernan-trained five-year-old shouldn't be too long in getting his head in front. Sligo runner-up Glenmorefiftyfour also enters calculations on the back of that encouraging recent effort.

Despite his advancing years, LISPENDENSE is lightly-raced in this sphere and is appealing on the back of an improved second on his handicap debut in this sphere at Cork. This step back up in trip will be no bad thing and he gets the nod ahead of Warmer Days Ahead, who has also raised his game since going down the handicap route. Johnny Cakes is also shortlisted.

A chance is taken on IVANE who was a fine second over 3m earlier in the season and gets back on soft ground over his ideal trip.

Form in-and-out this season but recent exploits have been solid, fourth of 9 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, soft, 14/1) 16 days ago, well positioned. Can give another good account on that evidence. Course winner who comes here in good form; she ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/4 +50%) Austrian Theory	2.75 11/4(+50%)	(8) Austrian Theory 11/4, Course winner. Yet to get his head in front for this yard but he comes here on the back of an encouraging fourth of 14 in handicap (11/1) at Ayr (8f, good to firm) 9 days ago, despite not being ideally placed. Worth considering from this career-low mark. Didn't enjoy rub of the green when fourth at Ayr nine days ago; on a good mark; player.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 -11%) Beraz	10 10/1(-11%)	(2) Beraz 10/1, Successful on 2 of his 5 starts last year (including here) and was in good form when last seen on all-weather, a stronger gallop likely to have suited better when seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) in February. Drops back in trip for return and respected for in-form stable. Not seen to best effect when seventh at Newcastle in February; needs to hit ground running.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 -64%) Faylaq	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(3) Faylaq 9/2, Snapped a lengthy losing run over 1¼m at Ayr in August and following a good second here next time, he duly proved willing when edging ahead late on to take Mallard handicap at Doncaster (14.5f) 17 days ago. Versatile as regards trip/ground and likely he'll be thereabouts again. Made it two wins in last three starts at Doncaster latest; not taken lightly back in trip.
5th	5 5th (5) (15/2 +0%) Benacre	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(5) Benacre 15/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 18/1) 39 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Best effort this term came at this track but he does need to step up on recent efforts to figure. It's now 16 outings since his last win and beat only two in Newcastle handicap last month.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 -33%) Pisanello	16 16/1(-33%)	(7) Pisanello 16/1, Course winner who capitalised on his reduced mark when scoring at York in June. However, has found his run of good form coming to a halt in recent starts, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good) 23 days ago. One of 3 runners from this yard. Course scorer but he arrives out of sorts; visor is reached for now.
8th	6 8th (6) (5/1 +0%) Chaturanga	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Chaturanga 5/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm, 4/1) 63 days ago, well positioned. More on his plate up 4 lb in this higher grade but he's building up a good strike rate and fancied to be in the shake up. Won at Ayr in July; off since but not discounted off a 4lb higher mark (form franked).
9th	9 9th (9) (125/1 -89%) Cavallo Pazzo	125 125/1(-89%)	(9) Cavallo Pazzo 125/1, Dual winner at up to 7f in Ireland but has failed to beat a rival without his customary tongue strap in pair of starts for new yard in recent months. Best watched until displaying more positive signs. Has failed to beat a rival in two runs for current yard; needs to take big step forward.

Having bounced back to his best when scoring over 1m2f at Ayr in late July, Chaturanga warrants consideration on his follow-up bid. However, the combination of a 4lb higher mark and drop in distance by a furlong may prove the three-year-old's undoing, with ZARABANDA edging the vote. The David O'Meara-trained mare arrives on the back of a solid fourth at Chester and she is racing off the same mark as her victory at this course in October 2023. Faylaq is also noted, despite this trip looking on the sharp side for him.

Not for the first time this season, AUSTRIAN THEORY shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when fourth at Ayr 9 days ago, running on late having not been ideally placed. Now on a career-low mark, he could be worth chancing to come out on top. Faylaq comes here in fine fettle and is feared. Beraz, on return, and another last-time-out winner, Chaturanga, complete the shortlist.

Tim Easterby's AUSTRIAN THEORY wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Ayr last time and figures on a good mark so edges the verdict

It may pay to persevere with the improving FUTURE CUTLET, who posted his best effort to date when runner-up over this distance at Galway in late July. The Buratino gelding is fancied to open his account at the fourth time of asking, for all that there are some intriguing newcomers on show. 485,000gns recruit Winsome tops the list under the tutelage of Joseph O'Brien, ahead of Sweet Thing, who is a sister to the precocious Golden Dragon.

Not a strong maiden and FUTURE CUTLET could be hard to beat with a repeat of his Galway second. Winsome cost a fortune as a yearling and might have found a good opening.

Future Cutlet is perfectly solid and should go well again but the standard is not especially hot and WINSOME could well be prevail

MAX TIME, who landed a gamble when winning at Galway earlier this month, can register a second career success. The runner-up franked that form when running a big race in a similar grade at Listowel subsequently. Although the Iggy Madden-trained gelding was only fifth in his follow up attempt at Tramore last time, he should be more at home on this galloping track. In a race where few appear to have any sort of worthwhile recent form, the seven-year-old stands out. Kilbeggan second Rossies Tara has shown promise on occasions but has yet to get her head in front in 20 starts. The Mark McNiff-trained mare will get few easier opportunities than this one. Stowaway Lass, who is lightly raced at the age of 10, is an unexposed mare who should be noted.

The vote goes to MAX TIME, who raised his game when belatedly getting off the mark in a big-field Galway handicap earlier this month. He was a respectable fifth off this 7 lb higher mark at Tramore next time. Rossies Tara looks dangerous on the back of a solid effort at Kilbeggan, while Vintage Gold makes some each-way appeal on the back of his decent display at Killarney last time. But What About Me would also have a chance if at her best.

Now back on soft ground folowing two solid efforts on a faster surface, VINTAGE GOLD is a tentative pick in a weak affair.

1	6 1st (6) (11/4 +45%) Never Dark	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(6) Never Dark 11/4, Made all at Nottingham in July and whilst he's found life tougher since, he did hint at a revival when midfield in Ayr Silver Cup on penultimate start. Will find this less demanding than when seventh of 10 in handicap at Haydock (5f, soft) on Saturday and he's no forlorn hope. Not disgraced the last twice, including in Ayr Silver Cup; weighted to go close here.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 +33%) Good Earth	5 5/1(+33%)	(3) Good Earth 5/1, Bagged handicaps at Newmarket/Sandown in August and not disgraced when fifth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Likely to give another good account. Scored at Newmarket/Sandown then good Doncaster fifth latest (form been franked); player.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 -33%) Moonstone Boy	4 4/1(-33%)	(4) Moonstone Boy 4/1, Very much back to best of late, escaping a penalty for his previous victory here when following up over C&D in August. Handicapper has had his say ahead of this but respected nevertheless in hat-trick bid. Arrives on a hat-trick after back-to-back C&D victories; up 6lb but not taken lightly.
4	7 4th (7) (15/2 +38%) Origintrail	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(7) Origintrail 15/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 6/1) 34 days ago. Mark has eased a little more ahead of this but slow starts often don't help her cause. It's now 16 outings since her last victory but she comes here in decent order; shortlisted.
5th	9 5th (9) (12/1 +52%) Monks Dream	12 12/1(+52%)	(9) Monks Dream 12/1, Successful on 2 of his 4 starts as a juvenile (both on all-weather) but he's not matched that level in pair of starts on turf this term, twelfth of 13 in handicap at York (5f, soft, 50/1) 22 days ago. Good bit to prove at present. A dual 5f AW scorer at two but he's cut little ice in two turf runs this summer.
6th	1 6th (1) (14/1 -87%) Ventura Express	14 14/1(-87%)	(1) Ventura Express 14/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Beverley (5f) in July. Underwhelming display when seventh of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago but he's a likely candidate to bounce back. A dual 5f scorer this term but only seventh of nine in 6f Thirsk handicap last month.
7th	8 7th (8) (17/2 -31%) Rock Melody	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(8) Rock Melody 17/2, Struck fast and late and ultimately won a shade cosily over 6f here in August. Kept busy subsequently, below best turned out quickly when ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 7/2) 8 days ago. Mark by no means prohibitive if she can bounce back. Course winner in August but she beat only one back here (6f) eight days ago.
8th	2 8th (2) (6/1 -50%) Mon Na Slieve	6 6/1(-50%)	(2) Mon Na Slieve 6/1, Landed a York novice (5f) on debut at 2 yrs. Pretty highly tried since and far from disgraced in stronger contests on each of his last 2 starts, fifth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 87 days ago. Ease in class rates a plus now following wind surgery. Winless since debut but has encouraging form in 2024; had wind op and needs considering.

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

Having undergone a wind procedure since his fifth-placed effort at Doncaster in July, the downgraded MON NA SLIEVE catches the eye. A 2lb drop in the ratings could prove lenient for Kevin Ryan's three-year-old and a second career triumph could be on the horizon. The hat-trick seeking Moonstone Boy is likely to have his supporters given last month's C&D double and he isn't taken lightly, despite a 6lb higher mark demanding more of him. Origintrail could also feature if breaking better.

Claims can be made for plenty here but MOONSTONE BOY arrives on a roll having landed back-to-back C&D handicaps last month and he's selected to complete the hat-trick. Good Earth and Ventura Express are others to consider.

Michael Herrington's Good Earth is enjoying an excellent season and taken to bag a third win, on the back of his good Doncaster fifth.

Mark has eased a little more. Exposed sort; 0-9 since debut win but she is on an attractive mark.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/4 +39%) Dubai Magic	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(1) Dubai Magic 11/4, Showcasing filly who showed some promise on second of her 3 starts in maidens when sixth of 13 at Windsor (6f) in July. Well held on qualifying run at Ripon (6f) 5 weeks ago but switch to nurseries in her favour now and better showing anticipated. Looks open to improvement now handicapping on AW; interesting.
3	5 3rd (5) (15/2 +25%) Love Rock	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(5) Love Rock 15/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in novice at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 150/1) 12 days ago, weakening 1f out. Makes handicap debut. One of several runners who may do better now handicapping.
4	7 4th (7) (11/5 +60%) Causin A Commotion	2.2 11/5(+60%)	(7) Causin A Commotion 11/5, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, sixteenth of 17 in novice at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut and another worth monitoring in the betting for a positive move. New scenario may enable him to improve, with Jamie Spencer booked.
5th	9 5th (9) (10/1 -150%) Pure Liberty	10 10/1(-150%)	(9) Pure Liberty 10/1, 11/1, creditable 1¾ lengths third of 8 to Startling in nursery at this C&D 9 days ago. Has more miles on the clock than most here but a repeat gives her claims of being in the mix again. Ties in with Startling on C&D running nine days ago.
6th	10 6th (10) (40/1 +0%) East Lea	40 40/1(+0%)	(10) East Lea 40/1, Remains with little form, in first-time blinkers when seventh of 8 in nursery (28/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good) 33 days ago. Looks to be up against it on his all-weather bow. Poor claims on his turf form.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/2 -80%) Startling	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(4) Startling 9/2, Hails from a talented sprint family and she proved a different proposition in a first-time hood when winning 8-runner nursery at this C&D (7/1) 9 days ago. Stable continue in fine form and likely she can progress further. Shortlisted. Took well to first-time hood for C&D win nine days ago; respected.
8th	3 8th (3) (28/1 -180%) Lady Lovebug	28 28/1(-180%)	(3) Lady Lovebug 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in novice (80/1) at Newcastle (5f) 27 days ago. Tackles nurseries now for the first time with blinkers enlisted so interesting if the market spoke in her favour. May improve now switched to nursery level and wearing headgear.
9th	8 9th (8) (14/1 +13%) Roc D'azur	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) Roc D'azur 14/1, Land Force filly who has offered little in trio of 6f turf novice events in recent months. Needs to find some improvement for switch to handicaps/drop to the minimum trip. May be more interesting when switched to Bath (dam best there).
10th	11 10th (11) (150/1 -355%) Forget The Past	150 150/1(-355%)	(11) Forget The Past 150/1, Well held in her 3 qualifying runs, seventh of 8 in maiden (200/1) at this C&D when last seen in May. Needs to leave her previous efforts well behind. Holds dismal claims on form.

The application of a hood seemed to work the oracle for STARTLING last time, as she won a shade cosily over this course and distance on her nursery debut. This doesn't look a strong handicap and the daughter of Zoustar is taken to go in again despite a 5lb rise. Pure Liberty finished third behind the selection and can have a say in proceedings once more, while it would be no surprise to see better efforts from both Dubai Magic and Lady Lovebug now handicapping.

STARTLING proved a different proposition when making a winning nursery debut over C&D 9 days ago and, appealing as the type who can go on improving, all looks set fair for another bold showing from David O'Meara's filly. Nursery-debutante Dubai Magic and Pure Liberty are others to consider, whilst Bank On Kent isn't entirely dismissed despite being drawn widest of all.

Recent C&D scorer STARTLING is open to further improvement at this level and gets the vote ahead of Dubai Magic.

A highly-encouraging third when not beaten far over this distance at Cork last time out, DEAR DAPHNE is taken to build upon that performance as she looks to gain a first success for her new connections. I Bid You Ajou (fourth) has just under a length to make up with the selection from that contest and he is likely to be thereabouts, along with the consistent Alex Belardo, who has been placed on three of his last four starts. Elliott and Inflection Point are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

ALEX BELARDO didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Musselburgh last time out so is fancied to gain a deserved first success off a 1 lb lower mark here. Elliott heads the list of dangers on the back of his good Fairyhouse fourth, with in-form duo I Bid You Ajou and Dear Daphne also well in the mix.

A trappy contest. ALEX BELARDO is knocking on the door and is a tentative choice. Glamorously, is an obvious danger

A winner over fences at Wexford last time, OUTSIDE THE DOOR should be able to exploit a more favourable rating over hurdles. Raised to a mark of 123 on the back of that recent success, the Milan gelding can race off just 107 in this discipline. Given that he had finished a close-up third over flights at Sligo on his penultimate start, the eight-year-old looks well treated here. Hypersonic Missile, who had valid excuses when a beaten favourite over course and distance in August, made amends at Ballinrobe last time. A consistent sort of late, the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding holds leading claims. Vaureal, a surprise winner of his maiden hurdle at this track last time, has to be of interest on handicap debut.

VAUREAL stepped up on his debut when comfortably landing a novice here 55 days ago and, with the longer trip likely to suit, he's worth a chance to make a successful switch to handicaps. Last-time-out winners Shuil Na Tra and Hypersonic Missile also come into the reckoning.

A winner over a bit further on soft ground at Sligo, SHUIL NA TRA faces stronger opposition here but may be able to progress again

Impressed with how he travelled then and worth considering turned out under a penalty. Second win of the season when making all over C&D last time; should go well with a penalty.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/1 +0%) Wee Fat Mac	5 5/1(+0%)	(8) Wee Fat Mac 5/1, Respectable 2¼ lengths third of 7 to Stash The Cash in handicap (8/1) at this C&D (good) 7 days ago, plugging on final 1f. Losing run is beginning to mount up but he's now operating 1 lb below last winning mark. 1-23 on turf; beaten just over 2l when 3rd to Stash The Cash over C&D latest; interesting.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/1 -120%) Delagate This Lord	11 11/1(-120%)	(3) Delagate This Lord 11/1, Veteran who won 3 of his 5 starts for Robyn Brisland last season and posted easily his best effort for present stable when second of 16 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Has tended to save his very best for that track but possibilities nevertheless. Veteran; three wins at Bath last term (5.5f); close 2nd over same C&D latest; a possible.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 -11%) Maharajas Express	10 10/1(-11%)	(7) Maharajas Express 10/1, Now 4 lb lower than for his heavy-ground Bath win for Jack Jones during the spring and he turned in his best effort for current yard when fifth of 12 in handicap at Chester (5.5f, soft, 80/1) 9 days ago. Capable of playing a part but he does need to settle better. Suited by testing ground; best run for present yard when fifth at Chester last time.

Return to 5f more suitable but she's hard to warm to at present. Two C&D wins this term, the latest in August; out of form since; could bounce back here.
6th	4 6th (4) (33/1 -175%) Rodborough	33 33/1(-175%)	(4) Rodborough 33/1, Largely campaigned on all-weather (all 3 career victories gained at Southwell) but probably needed the run after 5 months off when ninth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago, hampered early and never involved. Given a chance by the assessor. All three wins have been over 5f on AW; well beaten after a break on turf latest.
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 -113%) Show Me Show Me	16 16/1(-113%)	(6) Show Me Show Me 16/1, Won back-to-back 5f handicaps last summer and more encouraging signs than previously this term when fourth of 9 in handicap (28/1) at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Come down to a handy mark if building on that. Two 5f wins with a visor in August 2023; fair fourth latest; each-way contender.

Looks competitive on form. Two 5f wins last term; some fair efforts this term including last time; each-way chance..

Tim Easterby has trained two of the previous four winners of this sprint and STASH THE CASH looks to have solid claims of adding to that tally. The three-year-old relishes any give in the ground and having returned a cosy winner over course and distance a week ago, he may well defy a 6lb penalty. Majeski Man is looking to make the most of his slide down the handicap and a recent second at Redcar was a step in the right direction, while Show Me Show Me is another to consider.

STASH THE CASH has benefitted from the drop back to the minimum trip of late, impressing with how he went through the race when landing a C&D handicap 7 days ago. He looks the most solid option turned out quickly under a penalty. Majeski Man and Delagate This Lord can also feature.

As STASH THE CASH won with a bit in hand here last week he is selected to confirm the form with Wee Fat Mac on these revised terms.

Offered something to work on when fourth of 11 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 25/1) on debut in June. Open to improvement but longer trips may well suit ideally moving forward. Showed promise in a better race at Windsor in June; open to improvement.
2	5 2nd (5) (13/2 -117%) Glowchester	6.5 13/2(-117%)	(5) Glowchester 13/2, Massaat filly who improved again without looking the finished article when second of 7 in novice at Catterick (6f, good to soft, 11/2) 20 days ago, running green but keeping on. Not dismissed with further progress not out of the question. Form figures of 432 reflect her steady progress on turf; major contender.
3	2 3rd (2) (13/8 +46%) Mockirr	1.625 13/8(+46%)	(2) Mockirr 13/8, €110,000 yearling, Tasleet gelding. Makes some appeal on paper and he showed ability when fifth of 12 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) on debut 31 days ago. Likely to improve for top stable. Modest form when fifth at Southwell but may do better with the outing under his belt.
4	1 4th (1) (11/4 -69%) All Ways Glamorous	2.75 11/4(-69%)	(1) All Ways Glamorous 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden who has improved with each outing to date, showing bags of speed when good second of 5 in maiden at Bath (5f, good to firm, 3/1) 15 days ago. Can make his presence felt with a repeat on tapeta debut. Knocking at the door, finishing second in his last three turf races; leading claims.

ALL WAYS GLAMOROUS is edging closer to opening his account, having gone agonisingly close when beaten only a neck at Bath, and he gets another chance now debuting on the all-weather. Glowchester is steadily improving and returns to the minimum trip after going close on soft ground over 6f at Catterick, while Mockirr failed to make an impact over 6f at Southwell on his debut, but should settle better today and the application of a tongue-tie may bring about some improvement.

ALL WAYS GLAMOROUS showed bags of speed and produced his best effort yet when run down late at Bath (5f) 2 weeks ago and a repeat may well be enough to see him get off the mark here. Mockirr is likely to build on his debut effort at Southwell and is feared along with Glowchester, who is steadily going the right way.

Triple silver medallist ALL WAYS GLAMOROUS is taken to go one better. Glowchester and Maid In Chelsea look the main dangers.

TATUM placed on all three starts in nursery company and the daughter of Postponed is a most attractive proposition on her belated seasonal debut from a potentially very lenient mark. Having won over 1m2f at Cork on his penultimate start, Barretstown appears to be the chief danger to the selection off just 3lb higher, while Redemptive Power and Darkened are a couple of other appealing options to monitor closely in the betting.

Gavin Cromwell's REDEMPTIVE POWER advanced his form when runner-up at Dundalk last time and with few miles still on the clock he looks the way to go. So Messi is weighted to have a say and could emerge as the main danger, although Little Lady Lucy, Cannes Do and Barretstown are also in the picture in this very open handicap.

An interesting betting heat with the unexposed \LITTLE LADY LUCY\p a hopeful pick. Tatum is feared as isRedemptive Power

Useful hurdler made winning chase debut at Killarney, needing every yard of 2m1f trip.

The Willie Mullins-trained ARCTIC FLY can make it two wins from two starts over fences. A smart hurdler at her best, the six-year-old made a winning chase debut when just doing enough at Killarney last month. Although improvement will be required stepping up to Graded company here, the daughter of Walk In The Park could well be up to the task. Bowmore was very impressive on his first start over fences at Tipperary in July but disappointed at Killarney subsequently. If able to reproduce that initial effort, the Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding would be a serious contender. Thecompanysergeant, who finished behind Bowmore at Tipperary, has plenty of experience over fences so should be able to make his presence felt.

THECOMPANYSERGEANT showed a good attitude when scoring at Galway and can strike again. Killarney winner Arctic Fly is the obvious danger for Willie Mullins. Jesse Evans has more to offer in this sphere but finished well held in Sunday's Irish Cesarewitch.

An open Grade 3 and BOWMORE is a hopeful selection. He'll need to jump better than at Killarney but was good in that department on debut

Jaminoz won last year's renewal and scored here again earlier this month with DANDY'S ANGEL back in third. The latter is taken to reverse running on today's more favourable terms, having escaped a penalty for winning an apprentices' race at Haydock just three days ago, and another bold bid is anticipated from John Wainwright's inmate. Mon Etoile finally opened her account with a victory at Newcastle and could go well again raised only 3lb.

Likeable mare DANDY'S ANGEL goes unpenalized for her victory at Haydock 3 days ago and, with her rider able to take off a valuable 7 lb here, she makes obvious appeal in her follow up bid. Fellow last-time-out winner Mon Etoile rates the chief danger ahead of Hot Team who is easing steadily in the weights.

It could be worth siding with MON ETOILE, who has improved since being stepped up in trip with a visor on.

Eleventh of 15 in handicap (10/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 16 days ago, merely closing up late. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

Lingfield winner SHAMARDIA made another bold bid when beaten less than a length at the same track last time, and the Shamardal filly looks worth another chance off her current mark on that evidence. Banana ran into plenty of trouble over 5f here a week ago but has a shout on her placed efforts over today's distance before that, while Araifjan may improve on his second outing after a wind operation having slid down the weights since he was last successful on the all-weather.

SHAMARDIA is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of her very good Lingfield second. Course-winner Coconut Bay appeals as the one to give Ismail Mohammed's filly most to do, with Lochaber and Banana also worthy of consideration too.

Ismail Mohammed has placed the improving SHAMARDIA well in recent weeks, and this appears to be another suitable opportunity.

1	14 1st (14) (11/2 +50%) Londonofficecallin	5.5 11/2(+50%)	(14) Londonofficecallin 11/2, C&D winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.4f, soft, 13/2) 54 days ago, slowly away. Enters calculations if shrugging off latest effort. Really thrived last year and little doubt he is still well-treated with yard in form.

11th	9 11th (9) (28/1 -300%) Redwood Queen	28 28/1(-300%)	(9) Redwood Queen 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Eighth of 11 in maiden (20/1) at Gowran (14f, good to soft) 27 days ago, left poorly placed. Much respected on her handicap debut. Highly progressive hurdler this year for shrewd yard; market hard to call; noted.

A few with chances but preference is for SCATCHWAH, who recorded a comfortable success at Roscommon earlier this month. Sheila Lavery's charge is 6lb higher on this occasion, but, with further improvement likely, that could prove lenient. Sceptred Isle brought up a double at Leopardstown in July and must be respected following a short absence, while others to note include Gangster Granny, Ard Na Mara and Sixpack.

Lots with chances but SCATCHWAH still looks ahead of his mark despite being raised 6 lb for his recent Roscommon victory so gets the vote. Redwood Queen appeals as a likely improver now going handicapping so heads the list of dangers with Sceptred Isle, Ard Na Mara, Gangster Granny and Party Dress all in the mix too.

PARTY DRESS makes plenty of appeal dropping back in trip. That said, Scatchwah is progressing nicely and could have a big say again

The lightly-raced KUDASHEVA can follow up her recent win at Wexford. Having just her second start over fences, the Henry De Bromhead-trained mare easily beat a solid yardstick by 11 lengths. A former point-to-point winner with proven stamina, the daughter of Pour Moi should relish stepping back up in trip against her own sex. Paidi's Passion, who made a winning stable debut at this track in June, has shaped with promise on a couple of occasions since. The Paul Flynn-trained eight-year-old should appreciate this slightly easier assignment. Bella Bliss has been running well enough of late to suggest that she can shortly add to her five previous career wins.

KUDASHEVA looks to have been handed a lenient mark based on her win at Wexford last time and she's clearly the one to beat for all that Bella Bliss and Blenheim Belle represent formidable opponents.

Easy Wexford winner Kudasheva could be well treated but MENINDEE is only 3lb higher than when taking this last year and is preferred

Master Of Combat is back for more having won a division of this race last year, but he hasn't been at his best lately and his stable could be in better form. War Chant carries a 5lb penalty for winning over C&D last time out and could prove popular, but a chance is taken on TASMANIAN LEGEND. Boasting two wins from four starts over C&D with one off a higher mark last March, he drops in class here after finishing fifth last time out and may take full advantage.

CAVALRY CALL arrives better than ever so is fancied to make light of a career-high mark and follow up his taking Yarmouth success. Winterfair is feared most on the back of his good Beverley third, although the likes of Hartswood, War Chant, Master of Combat and Tasmanian Legend all need factoring in too.

An open contest but the lightly raced WINTERFAIR may have more scope for improvement back on AW. War Chant is second choice.

Six runnings of this have seen five winning three-year-olds, so Buttercross Flyer could go close after finishing a good third last time out. Nights Over Egypt runs with a 5lb penalty after winning by a head over shorter here and he can go well, although KRISTAL KLEAR may prove too good for both of them. Only beaten a head in a better race at Haydock over this trip earlier in the month, a repeat of that performance may be enough for victory here.

KRISTAL KLEAR found only one too good at Haydock last time out and with that form having been really well advertised since she gets the vote. Recent course scorer Nights Over Egypt appeals as the one to give Stella Barclay's filly most to do ahead of Buttercross Flyer and Top Button.

The choice is KRISTAL KLEAR (nap), a Southwell winner who has since finished runner-up in a strong fillies' handicap at Haydock.

In the picture once more. Easy 1m1f turf win in August; fair fourth on AW latest (1m); quite interesting down to 7f.
6th	6 6th (6) (14/1 -17%) Whiteley Way	14 14/1(-17%)	(6) Whiteley Way 14/1, 17/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Others more persuasive. 0-10; placed on four occasions including twice over 6f on AW this term; stamina to prove.
7th	12 7th (12) (80/1 -100%) Independent Beauty	80 80/1(-100%)	(12) Independent Beauty 80/1, Remains a maiden after 41 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 100/1) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Plenty to find on form. Longstanding maiden; not in best of form; hard to fancy.
8th	7 8th (7) (25/1 -56%) Sluzewiec	25 25/1(-56%)	(7) Sluzewiec 25/1, Last of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 31 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. Ex-French; mainly disappointing for new yard and has plenty to prove at present.
9th	1 9th (1) (9/1 -350%) Swinging Eddie	9 9/1(-350%)	(1) Swinging Eddie 9/1, 3-time C&D winner. Landed 12-runner handicap (16/1) at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 68 days ago. Can give a good account. Back to form to win at Catterick last time; C&D winner last December; one with a chance.

SWINGING EDDIE has a good record here with three wins and five places, and after a Catterick win on the turf when last seen in July, he could be set for a winning return to the all-weather for a stable in good form. Lady Wingalong returns from a break and she can go well if she is back to her best, while both Frankie Valliance and Amaysmont will have their supporters, with Kevin Frost's gelding the suggestion for third place.

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for course-winner AMAYSMONT who should strip fitter for his recent Southwell fourth after a break and edges the vote. Swinging Eddie is always to be feared round here and is next on the list ahead of Carvalhal and Lady Wingalong.

This can go to AMAYSMONT who won twice at Chelmsford earlier in the season and shaped with plenty of promise after a break last time.

1	8 1st (8) (5/1 -43%) Ecclesiastical	5 5/1(-43%)	(8) Ecclesiastical 5/1, Course winner. Good third of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Major claims off the same mark here. Currently in a consistent vein of form; won off 1lb higher here last November.
2	11 2nd (11) (25/1 -25%) Smooth Silesie	25 25/1(-25%)	(11) Smooth Silesie 25/1, Five wins from 19 runs this year, the latest at Bath in September. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Chester (5.5f, soft) 9 days ago. Others preferred. Productive this year; returns to suitable level following a Class 4 defeat.
3	3 3rd (3) (25/1 -150%) Pop Dancer	25 25/1(-150%)	(3) Pop Dancer 25/1, C&D winner. 13/2, second of 4 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft) 28 days ago. That was his best effort since going close on the AW in January but he looks vulnerable here all the same. Returns to a deeper field but remains well handicapped on best form.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 -25%) Jojo Rabbit	10 10/1(-25%)	(2) Jojo Rabbit 10/1, Four-time C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in July. Seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 23 days ago, never nearer. Back down to last winning mark and could have a say if he puts his best foot forward. Has lost his form since winning off this mark at Doncaster in July.
5th	5 5th (5) (3/1 +25%) Aces Wild	3 3/1(+25%)	(5) Aces Wild 3/1, Three-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Good second of 11 in handicap (16/5) at this C&D 23 days ago. Clearly in good nick and it will be no surprise at all to see this 5-y-o play another leading role. Has a predominantly solid record over C&D (all this year); close second last time.
6th	7 6th (7) (7/1 -17%) High Velocity	7 7/1(-17%)	(7) High Velocity 7/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 11/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago, just failing. His turn is seemingly near judged on that but this 7 lb AW higher mark could be a stumbling block. Did well to go close at Redcar two weeks ago; still well treated on peak form.
7th	9 7th (9) (4/1 +60%) Darlo Pride	4 4/1(+60%)	(9) Darlo Pride 4/1, C&D winner. Respectable third of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm, 22/1). Off 102 days ahead of this debut for new yard but each-way chance if fully tuned-up. Consistent for Tony Carson; usual headgear is removed on debut for new yard.
8th	1 8th (1) (9/2 +44%) Cluedo	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(1) Cluedo 9/2, C&D winner. 12/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good) 17 days ago. Edging back down the weights but one or two of these look stronger. C&D winner (off 2lb lower) last October; drops back in grade; possibilities.
9th	6 9th (6) (33/1 -267%) Gustav Graves	33 33/1(-267%)	(6) Gustav Graves 33/1, Four-time C&D winner. 4 wins from 12 runs this year. 15/2, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D. Off 140 days. Given a chance by the handicapper (now 1 lb below last winning mark) and he's one to consider. Lacks recent match practice; market may prove best guide.
10th	10 10th (10) (40/1 -100%) Mary The Priest	40 40/1(-100%)	(10) Mary The Priest 40/1, 66/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago and this filly is likely to struggle once more. Ex-Irish filly; down the field in both runs for new stable.

Having finished a close-up second over track and trip earlier this month, ACES WILD looks ready to regain the winning thread. Adrian Wintle's charge is only 2lb higher in the ratings and he shades the verdict over fellow in-form rival Ecclesiastical. The latter arrives on the back of a solid third at Ayr and, reverting to the all-weather, he's unlikely to be far away racing off an unchanged mark. Gustav Graves is also worth a second look on his return to action.

ECCLESIASTICAL was successful here off a 1 lb higher mark last November and his turn appears to be again near judged on a recent near miss at Ayr where he was beaten just ½-length into third, despite failing to fully settle. Gustav Graves has slipped to an attractive mark, too, and he is feared most ahead of the in-form Aces Wild. The Michael Dods-trained duo Darlo Pride and Nelson Gay are also worthy of consideration.

Off an attractive mark back here, NELSON GAY is preferred. Aces Wild, who has solid claims, is second choice.

First run for yard after leaving Tom Dascombe and he needs to get back on track. 0-19 on the Flat but placed eight times; something to prove down in trip on stable debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (13/2 -160%) Pysanka	6.5 13/2(-160%)	(3) Pysanka 13/2, Four-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (10/3) at this C&D 9 days ago, driven out. 3 lb rise fair enough and he needs considering. Record over C&D reads 172218131, his latest win coming nine days ago; solid chance.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/1 -83%) Beat The Clock	11 11/1(-83%)	(4) Beat The Clock 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable third of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Yarmouth (8f, good) 53 days ago, possibly helped by way race developed. Significantly up in trip and likely to find one or two too good. 0-5 with his best effort coming here; stamina in his pedigree and remains unexposed.
4	5 4th (5) (9/4 +32%) Dubawi Time	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(5) Dubawi Time 9/4, 5/2, below form third of 7 in handicap at Epsom (12f, soft) 18 days ago. Eased 2 lb and he's a big player returned to the AW in a race of this nature. Won over this trip at Kempton in February; stable won this with a 3yo two years ago.
5th	7 5th (7) (8/1 +0%) Samoon Star	8 8/1(+0%)	(7) Samoon Star 8/1, Winner at Leicester in June. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to firm, 11/2) 31 days ago, needing stiffer test. Significantly up in trip for this tapeta debut. Won on handicap debut at Leicester in June but not built on it; needs to get back on track.
6th	6 6th (6) (6/1 +63%) Paradoxical	6 6/1(+63%)	(6) Paradoxical 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 8/1) when last seen 98 days ago. Makes tapeta debut on first run for new yard and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Makes stable/AW debut after three months off having been gelded; watch market.
7th	2 7th (2) (12/1 -243%) Arenas Del Tiempo	12 12/1(-243%)	(2) Arenas Del Tiempo 12/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 8/1) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and will have a chance if taking to this surface. Losing run up to 21 but went close on recent return; could play a part on Tapeta debut.

PYSANKA supplemented his creditable reappearance second at Windsor earlier in September with a ready victory over today's C&D nine days ago. A 3lb rise looks on the lenient side for Mark Loughnane's gelding and a double rates a strong possibility. Dubawi Time should appreciate a return to the all-weather and he may leave his distant third at Epsom last time out behind. The three-year-old is feared most, ahead of Arenas Del Tiempo.

The testing conditions were against DUBAWI TIME at Epsom last time and he could prove a tough nut to crack back on the all-weather off a 2 lb lower mark. Arenas del Tiempo's first run on turf for 10 months was a good one at Lingfield where he found just one too good. He remains on a workable mark and is next on the list ahead of Pysanka.

Four-time C&D winner PYSANKA looks the safest option with a 3lb rise for his latest success looking far from excessive.

HARBOUR VISION found only a progressive rival too strong when headed in the closing stages over this track and trip recently. Although the veteran hasn't proved the most consistent of late, he could be worth chancing in his current mood, particularly off the same rating. Inspiring Speeches did little wrong when a close-up second at Beverley six days ago and, despite having something to prove on the all-weather, another good account is forecast. Bungle Bay looks best of the remainder.

INSPIRING SPEECHES was clear of the remainder when runner-up here at Beverley last time and, with a performance of similar merit, he should have enough to go one better in a thin race. Harbour Vision is a likely player and Nancy Rose is respected.

Provided the widest draw proves no hindrance, INSPIRING SPEECHES appears capable of opening his account.

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.
