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

Cape Cod left the form of his debut behind to make the frame over a mile at Punchestown latest and is likely to have plenty more in the locker. South Island could only manage sixth in first-time cheekpieces, which are discarded with today, at Tipperary last month, so it might pay to side with KALIR. Dermot Weld's youngster showed ability when third on his introduction at Leopardstown last month and with improvement forecast, he ought to go close.

Having produced a much-improved effort when a close third over 1m at Punchestown last time, CAPE COD(nap) can get off the mark today.

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

Having made light work of the opposition in a Chelmsford maiden last month, Galileo Island merits respect in his follow-up bid. This nursery debut demands more, though, and it might pay to side with CRYSTAL PIER. The daughter of Palace Pier finished third in behind behind a progressive rival over C&D latest and an opening mark of 77 looks workable. Penhallam heads the remainder.

Particularly interesting is CRYSTAL PIER who has a solid piece of C&D form. Galileo Island is second pick.

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

A taking winner on her first start for the Charlie Clover stable at Pontefract recently, SALARIA is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and she can follow up off 5lb higher. The returning First Greyed arrives on a four-timer after a profitable spring on the all-weather, while Fiddlers Green attempts to build upon a determined success over slightly further at Kempton in July.

This can go to SALARIA, who kept on well to make a winning stable debut at Pontefract recenty and has scope to build on that success.

Spangled Sands has occupied the runner-up berth on both of his career starts and holds an obvious chance, but it is WHITE SAND BEACH that shades preference. Second to a useful type at Punchestown on debut recently, improvement looks likely and trainer Aidan O'Brien, who has won four of the previous five renewals, looks to have found her a suitable opportunity. Suspicious Mindz has been gelded since his fifth at Roscommon and is another bear in mind.

With improvement likely from her fine Punchestown second on debut, WHITE SAND BEACH should be difficult to beat today.

Blazing Son recorded a narrow C&D success nine days ago and can go well again, especially given promising apprentice Oliver Carmichael offsets the 3lb rise incurred with his 7lb claim. Fellow course winners Flying Fletcher and Sibyl Charm also merit close inspection, but preference is for the well-treated BLACK STORM, who is effective on Tapeta and has shown stacks of promise to be placed in all three starts since joining Katie Scott.

A competitive race in which CANDONOMORE is marginally preferred to Al Muqdad.

Appeared to win with something left up his sleeve in Lingfield AW race; open to progress.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

Having supplemented his Haydock debut success with a third-placed effort in a Listed event at the same venue next time, SHAYEM looks the one to beat down in class. Karl Burke's colt should enjoy today's marginally longer trip and is taken to confirm his superiority over reopposing fourth Glacius. A bigger threat may emerge from Gizmo, who scythed his way through the field to make a winning start at Lingfield earlier this month.

ASTRAZAR caught the eye with a strong performance for fourth in a valuable sales race at York last month. Ed Walker's colt sets the standard and is likely to be suited by stepping up in trip. He can break the maiden at the main expense of Lavender Gold, who has shown promise on both career outings and may enjoy going back down in distance. Better is expected of Nicely Timed, who was slowly into stride before finishing sixth on debut at Lingfield.

Lavender Gold is respected but ASTRAZAR sets the form standard after last month's fourth in a big-field 6f sales race at York.

Aidan O'Brien's juveniles often improve markedly from run to run and, despite showing plenty of greenness in three career outings, AMELIA EARHART almost landed a strong maiden at Doncaster recently. She will need to step up on that form, but looks capable of doing so and it may be Kensington Lane who gives her most to think about following an impressive success at Gowran. Stepping back up in trip is likely to suit Alibah after a creditable third in Listed company at Fairyhouse, while Pivotal Attack drops in grade after contesting the Moyglare.

PIVOTAL ATTACK put a couple of these rivals to the sword at Galway and if she settles better than she did in the Moyglare, she can win

A bold showing from Black Storm in the first division of this race would be a boost for KING'S SCHOOL, who accounted for that rival when on target over C&D last month. A 4lb rise for that success looks fair and he has less to prove than a few of these. Twilight Diamond, a good second in a first-time visor (retained) at Southwell last time, merits consideration, as does the class-dropping Giant.

King's School has his ideal conditions but this represents a drop in class for LIR SPECIALE and he can take full advantage.

Stepped up in trip to score on his return from a 270-day absence at Windsor last month, Gamrai is likely capable of better. He might need further improvement to defy a 7lb penalty though and ALCARATH shades preference with that in mind. Alan King's gelding lost little in defeat when second at Salisbury latest and a similar level of performance could suffice. Suitcase Smith is another to consider.

Gosden colt GAMRAI is taken to defy a penalty for his reappearance success. Alcarath is the biggest danger on form.

FOREVER GLAMOROUS showed plenty of pace when narrowly denied on his nursery debut here. A 2lb rise for that effort could prove lenient and the son of Cable Bay can strike on the drop in trip, with Bath winner Supreme Diamond looking best placed to chase him home on her handicap bow. Andrew Balding has a fine record at the Welsh track and his Storm Flag may be capable of better.

Forever Glamorous is feared back at 5f but SUPREME DIAMOND took well to slower ground last time and can follow up her Bath win.

MY MATE ALFIE may not be in quite the same form as he was 12 months ago when landing this contest from Big Gossey, but last month's second over C&D is strong form and he can notch up a fourth course success. Art Power loves it at the Curragh too, with victories in the 2021 and 2022 renewals among four track triumphs. He is likely to be thereabouts, as is fellow British raider Crestofdistinction, who steps up in grade after a narrow defeat in Listed company at York. Completing the shortlist are Ides Of March, Spycatcher and Vespertilio.

The forecast rain is a plus for a few of these, including last year's winner MY MATE ALFIE, and he may be able to defend his crown

BOTH OF US has won his last two starts in a ready manner. On target at Brighton before following up even more impressively under a penalty at Southwell on Tuesday, the son of Magna Grecia is penalised again but must hold every chance of completing his hat-trick. Storm Asset and Tiberio Force both arrive in good heart though and neither are likely to go down without a fight.

The chances are that BOTH OF US remains ahead of the game despite another penalty and he can bring up his hat-trick.

The in-form TEAM PLAYER could give his rider Tommie Jakes another day to remember. A winner of two of his five starts over 1m4f, the progressive three-year-old makes considerable appeal having been raised 4lb for his latest triumph. Odin Legacy holds place claims, but recent C&D scorer Give It To Me Oj looks a bigger threat. Naasma arrives in search of a hat-trick but he could be vulnerable off a career-high mark.

There are sound reasons to believe that GIVE IT TO ME OJ (nap) is well capable of following up his C&D win.

FIFTY SENT landed a classified event over C&D in cosy fashion last month and despite having more on his plate now back in a handicap, he is taken to go in again. Change Of Fortune has proven more consistent than most and is likely to give another good account of himself, while others to note include Blue Point Express and Unforgetable Belle.

Preference is for FIFTY SENT (nap) who made it two wins from his last four starts when coming clear over C&D on soft ground in August.

BRAGBOR did it well when scoring on his handicap debut over C&D last month and the lightly-raced four-year-old should have plenty to come off 6lb higher. Not beaten too far on each of his previous two starts since joining the James Owen stable, Crack Shot must enter calculations, as well as Per Contra, who has strong claims on his penultimate runner-up effort at York. Glistening Nights and North View may also have a say in proceedings.

Bragbor is intriguing but a chance is taken on NORTH VIEW who might just raise his game over this longer trip.

(7) Whathappensinvegas 13/2, Well backed when scoring by 2l off 75 at Windsor three starts back. A bit too free when eighth, beaten 7l off 79 last time. Effective 10-12f and suited by a sound surface. Current rating may flatter slightly.
Return to turf is a plus but he possibly has little in hand off current mark.

Has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf and looks harshly treated.

KIMEKO GLORY has won three of her five starts this season and wasn't showing any signs of reaching the limit when she romped home by four lengths at Sandown most recently. That was her first run for Brian Toomey and it's notable she has been given a break since July. Having previously won when fresh, there are good reasons to expect another bold showing. Lord Melbourne and Fantasy Believer are others to bear in mind.

Consistent maiden CRIMINAL is taken to open his account. Fellow 3yo Kimeko Glory is second choice.

(4) Guiteau 3/1, Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces and tongue tie, landing a handicap by 5l off 57 over 6f here last time; effective at 7f; remains on a fair mark.
Impressive in these accessories over 6f here 19 days ago; 5lb rise could prove lenient.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

It's hard to rule any of these out with great confidence, but the vote goes to GUITEAU. Faye Bramley's charge powered through the mud to record a comprehensive success here and although a drop to the minimum trip is a slight worry, there is enough early pace to make this a relative test of stamina. Roach Power was a close-up sixth in a blanket finish at Doncaster and is respected now eased in class. Diamondsinthesand heads the remainder.

Roach Power should go well once again but a 5lb rise for GUITEAU's easy 6f win here last time could prove lenient.

HAPPY PHAROAH survived a stewards' enquiry to land a premier handicap at Leopardstown recently and those battling qualities ought to serve him well in a race of this nature. He must now shoulder a 7lb penalty but it looks manageable given his progressive profile, and whilst this longer trip will place a further emphasis on stamina, it would come as no surprise were he to find the necessary improvement. Filey Bay, Ascending and Nurburgring each make considerable appeal, while Shoda and fellow last-time-out winner Tounsivator arrive with each-way credentials.

COMFORT ZONE is interesting based on his Ascot Stakes third behind Nurburgring and Ascending and might represent a bit of value

Back to winning ways with a determined performance in a valuable handicap at York last month, ASGARD'S CAPTAIN is likely to appreciate a return to this track, where he has won three times. Prince Of The Seas seems to be getting the hang of things of late and a 2lb rise could prove lenient on the back of his narrow success at Goodwood. The hat-trick seeking Siempre Arturo and the unexposed Gran Descans complete the shortlist.

It could pay to chance the progressive GRAN DESCANS who was a blatant non-stayer over 1m6f last time.

Falmouth Lad completed a double at Kempton on his most recent start and is progressing at a rapid rate of knots, so he has to be taken seriously. Hyperchromatic finished a fair fifth in a class 3 handicap at Southwell latest and needs considering, but JIFF'S ARMY gets the nod. Stuart Williams' charge struck over track and trip last month and the assessor only put him up 3lb. With lots in his favour, he can record a third C&D success.

In the retained cheekpieces and kept to this C&D, JIFF'S ARMY holds particularly strong claims. Falmouth Lad is feared most.

Jedhi Knight failed to add to the C&D prize he got in the stewards' room when only fourth at Newcastle but he can't be written off, especially in first-time blinkers on the return to this venue. However, RUSSIAN RUMOUR got up for third in a class 2 handicap at Bath and goes off the same rating. This represents a fair drop in grade and it would be no surprise to see her take full advantage. Beggarman is a two-time course winner to consider.

Russian Rumour looks dangerous in this lower grade but she has to concede lots of weight to C&D winner JEDHI KNIGHT.

Having posted a series of creditable efforts in defeat this season, WASHINGTON STREET can finally get his head in front. Ger Lyons' charge was narrowly denied in a handicap at Gowran latest but returning to a maiden, coupled with a drop in trip, might be just what he needs. Lunigiana boasts some decent two-year-old form as a juvenile and market support would be noteworthy ahead of her return, while Glory To Be and Spodo Komodo are others to consider.

Though ratings say Washington Street should beat GLORY TO BE, the filly finished in front of him over C&D last time and can again

A tad green and short of room at a crucial stage, LEADING DANCER very much caught eye on debut at Doncaster in what looked like a strong maiden, and this daughter of Starman could be set to strike with improvement expected. Not beaten far on debut herself at Wolverhampton last month, Yy Spirit rates a leading contender, while Light The Night Up looks to be the second string from the Karl Burke yard.

There was significant promise in the Doncaster debut of LEADING DANCER and she can take this en route to better things.

Kisskodi accounted for Marlay Park (third) over C&D earlier in the month and it's hard to envisage that form being overturned. Even so, MUSICAL ANGEL looks the way to go. The daughter of Dark Angel finished four lengths clear of the third when hitting the woodwork at Chester latest and now has Oisin Murphy back on board. She is unexposed over this trip and could have more to offer. Eminency completes the shortlist.

Being unexposed at this trip and possibly capable of further progress, MUSICAL ANGEL gets the vote. Kisskodi is second pick.

King of The Dance has rarely run a bad race this year, most recently filling the runner-up spot at Chepstow, and he should remain competitive. Autumn Festival made the frame at Bath earlier in the month and, with a tidier start, can get closer but it may pay to side with UP THE ANTI. Tony Carroll's filly occupied the runner-up berth over a mile at the same venue and is just 1lb higher, with this drop back in trip appearing the right move.

Preference is for ROSEMARY'S ROSE, who gave it a good shot from the front in 0-65 company at Windsor last time and drops in trip here.

Soundly beaten in three runs over the summer but can do better now from a falling mark.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Having shared the spoils when dead-heating at Galway in July, Castleheath must enter calculations off a 1lb higher mark. However, Ciaran Murphy's inmate will need to put a below-par fifth over hurdles at Ballinrobe behind him and WERTPOL looks open to more improvement. The three-year-old found only a progressive rival too strong at Navan 31 days ago and a 2lb rise in the ratings looks workable. Last-time-out winner Rain, Tilani and Gotta Catch'em All are just a few others to consider.

GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL is a tentative selection. Though he is a maiden has run well several times including over C&D.

Kept on for third in a Redcar seller (6f, good) 12 days ago; needs more back in a novice.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

Having been narrowly denied at Lingfield earlier this month, Augustus Gloop sets a good standard for his rivals to aim at. James Fanshawe's colt is likely to get his head in front at some stage but he may have to play second fiddle once more, with MAJOR NEIGH SAYER edging the vote. The son of No Nay Never didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages on his opening third at Ripon and he should have better luck in this small-field affair. Market support for newcomer Foxtrot Flyer would be interesting.

Major Neigh Sayer is open to significant improvement but FOXTROT FLYER is a well-related newcomer from a yard rich in 2yo talent.

Running well until not having the kindest of draws at Chester two weeks ago.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Although thwarted in his hat-trick bid when runner-up at Newbury, War Howl must enter the reckoning in his current vein of form. However, a further 3lb rise does demand more of the three-year-old and he could be worth taking on with ZRYAN. The David O'Meara-trained gelding arrives on the back of a close-up third at Southwell and, racing off an unchanged mark, he ticks plenty of the right boxes. The down-in-class Rogue Encore is worth a second look.

A tentative vote goes to STANAGE whose figures can be attributed to contesting some strong handicaps. Zryan is second choice.

WITCH HUNTER posted a respectable sixth in a 17-runner affair at Ascot and a 2lb ease in the ratings could prove lenient. Tyrese Cameron claims a handy 7lb off the six-year-old's back and he may find this switch to Tapeta more to his liking. C&D winner Oliver Show looked near his best when finishing a close-up fourth at Doncaster a fortnight ago and is feared most, ahead of the progressive Grand Traverse.

A competitive race but SUPERPOSITION (nap) looks ahead of his mark on AW and can prove that point back down at 7f.

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.
