13:15 Sligo Maiden Chase 18f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (11/8 +39%) Judicieuse Allen	1.375 11/8(+39%)	(4) Judicieuse Allen 11/8, Winning hurdler who made a promising start over fences at Tipperary (19.4f, good to soft) in July, looking set to go close till falling at last. Tongue strap back on. Likely more to come in this sphere yet. Disputing the lead when last-fence faller on chase debut at Tipperary in July; given time.
2	5 2nd (5) (25/1 +0%) Miss Gherkin	25 25/1(+0%)	(5) Miss Gherkin 25/1, Fair hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Tramore in April. Ninth of 14 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (20.2f, good to soft, 9/1) on debut over fences 26 days ago. Should progress. Fair hurdler made bad mistake three out when tailed off on chase debut at Kilbeggan.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 -211%) Mount Sinai	14 14/1(-211%)	(6) Mount Sinai 14/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) 35 days ago. Makes chase debut. Yard in good form. Not taken lightly. Not far behind stablemate Judicieuse Allen as a hurdler; smart chasers in her pedigree.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 -10%) Faux Fur	11 11/1(-10%)	(2) Faux Fur 11/1, Fair chaser. 8/1, respectable third of 8 in novice chase at Ballinrobe (23.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Back down in trip. Warrants respect. Has run well behind some useful types over fences; back down markedly in trip ..
5th	7 5th (7) (66/1 -100%) Pebble Bleu	66 66/1(-100%)	(7) Pebble Bleu 66/1, Fair chaser. 12/1, creditable fourth of 13 in novice chase at Clonmel (20f, good) 117 days ago. Up against it here. Second on chase bow at Thurles in March and some fair efforts after; back from lay-off.
8	8 \|F\| (8) (1/1 +64%) Nara	1 1/1(+64%)	(8) Nara 1/1, Fairly useful hurdler who posted best effort for current yard when third of 24 in handicap at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 153 days ago. Enters calculations on chase debut. Decent hurdler and very interesting on chase debut getting 9lb from her elders.
3	3 \|U\| (3) (80/1 -100%) Howya Luveen	80 80/1(-100%)	(3) Howya Luveen 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 8 in novice chase (40/1) at Ballinrobe (23.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Down in trip. Hard to recommend. Tailed off on chase debut and well behind Faux Fur when out the back at Ballinrobe.

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

Judicieuse Allen, tongue-tied for the first time and Paul Townend's choice of two runners for Willie Mullins, was a decent hurdler and was running a big race when a last-fence faller on her chase debut at Tipperary in July. The selection, though, is NARA who gets a handy weight-for-age allowance. Henry de Bromhead's youngster was just about the best of these over hurdles and ran well in a Punchestown festival handicap when last seen. She is likely to jump well coming from these quarters and can make a winning start over fences. Others to note are Faux Fur and Pebble Bleu.

JUDICIEUSE ALLEN may well have made a winning chase debut but for falling at the last at Tipperary in July and remains with potential. She can land the spoils. A Law Of Her Own ran a cracker at Roscommon on Monday and will be dangerous if turned out quickly here, whilst Nara looks the pick of the new recruits to this discipline.

The 4yo allowance makes NARA tempting; just about the best of these over hurdles, chances are she'll jump well on chase debut

13:15 Sligo Maiden Chase 18f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:30 Bellewstown Maiden 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
10	10 (10) (80/1 +20%) Man Is King	80 80/1(+20%)	(10) Man Is King 80/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Offered little when thirteenth of 15 in handicap (80/1) at Leopardstown (9f, heavy) 6 months ago. 0-21; tailed off on heavy when last seen; hard to recommend on back of 175-day absence.
1	3 1st (3) (13/8 +19%) Gandolfo	1.625 13/8(+19%)	(3) Gandolfo 13/8, Unreliable sort. Wasn't seen to best effect when ninth of 14 in handicap (15/2) at Punchestown (8.1f, good) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers back on. Folly to ignore back in maiden company. 0-11; some promising efforts in maidens last season; went close in h'cap 2 starts ago.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 -40%) Dark Viper	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(1) Dark Viper 7/2, Fair gelding. 6/1, better than result when sixth of 14 in handicap at Listowel (7.1f, good to soft) 8 days ago, losing place when hampered approaching straight. 0-13; hit crossbar twice before lesser run last week; tough ask at the weights.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/4 -29%) Red Special	2.25 9/4(-29%)	(7) Red Special 9/4, Fair gelding. 25/1, wasn't seen to best effect but stepped up on reappearance when fourth of 10 in maiden at Laytown (7f) 16 days ago, not clear run from 3f out. Visor back on. Enters calculations returned to turf. Encouraging 4th when beaten 1l at Laytown; may build on that back up in trip.
4	5 4th (5) (9/2 -35%) Goldrush Kid	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(5) Goldrush Kid 9/2, Probably needed the run after 4 months off when ninth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good, 9/1) 39 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Expected to be bang there in this grade. Progressed with each run before low-key h'cap debut; not sure to appreciate new trip.
5th	9 5th (9) (20/1 +0%) Lost Soul	20 20/1(+0%)	(9) Lost Soul 20/1, Went with little encouragement when thirteenth of 14 in maiden (50/1) at Punchestown (9.2f, good) on debut 15 days ago. Well held 50-1 shot in a Punchestown maiden last month and needs to leave that behind.
6th	8 6th (8) (100/1 -100%) Rene Artois	100 100/1(-100%)	(8) Rene Artois 100/1, 50/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) when last seen 12 months ago. Significantly down in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Well beaten on Flat for current connections so looks an easy swerve. 0-14; showed plenty of promise in 2021 but lost his way last year and off a year.
7th	6 7th (6) (100/1 +0%) Purrrfect Timing	100 100/1(+0%)	(6) Purrrfect Timing 100/1, Visored for 1st time, again showed little when twelfth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good to soft, 200/1) back in June. Barely beaten a rival in two runs so far and hard to make a case for.
8th	11 8th (11) (150/1 -50%) Begleys Forge	150 150/1(-50%)	(11) Begleys Forge 150/1, Yet to show any ability, tailed off on return from 12 months off when eleventh of 13 in maiden (200/1) at Cork (8f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Shown very little at huge prices in four starts so far.
9th	2 9th (2) (150/1 -50%) Easyshineadiamond	150 150/1(-50%)	(2) Easyshineadiamond 150/1, 150/1, offered little when last of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft) on debut 12 months ago. Significantly up in trip. Tailed off 150-1 shot on debut 375 days ago; up in trip.
10th	4 10th (4) (80/1 -21%) Zoffany Gold	80 80/1(-21%)	(4) Zoffany Gold 80/1, Tongue strap on, very green and reportedly made a respiratory noise when thirteenth of 14 in maiden (40/1) at Gowran (8f, good) on debut back in June. Tailed off when only beating one home at Gowran in June; off 107 days.

DARK VIPER is the suggestion in this weak affair. Placed five times in eight starts for current connections, he didn't get the run of the race when sixth at Listowel last week. Beaten by just half a length on his penultimate start, he had two subsequent winners in behind. The highest rated of those with a mark, Gandolfo is the obvious danger. After some excellent efforts as a juvenile, the Churchill chestnut hasn't been the most consistent in recent times. Beaten by just a short head at Gowran last month, he since failed to make an impact after a slow start at Punchestown. Placed twice from four outings, Goldrush Kid is of definite interest, while Laytown fourth Red Special is another to consider.

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal, RED SPECIAL getting the vote to open his account in refitted headgear having not been seen to best effect at Laytown last month. Second choice is Goldrush Kid, who probably needed the run after 4 months off making his handicap debut at the Curragh last time, while Gandolfo and Dark Viper have both shown enough to be involved too so round off the shortlist.

GANDOLFO wasn't seen to best effect in a Punchestown h'cap last week but he went close on his penultimate start and should go well here

13:30 Bellewstown Maiden 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:38 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (10/1 +50%) Foreseeable Future	10 10/1(+50%)	(9) Foreseeable Future 10/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap (16/1) at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 17 days ago, weakening final 1f. Has knocked on the door on several occasions previously this term and he's not dismissed lightly here. Consistent in summer but yet to win this year and form has dipped lately.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/1 -180%) Alafdhal	7 7/1(-180%)	(2) Alafdhal 7/1, Successful 3 times this year, latterly at Pontefract (5f, heavy) in April, and confirmed he's back in good heart of late, runner-up back at that venue 6 days ago. Operating from a handy mark and he's one to be interested in. Not the force of old but comes here after two recent seconds and will be favoured by rain.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/2 +61%) Fortunate Star	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(6) Fortunate Star 11/2, C&D winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, good to soft, 9/1) 22 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind. Handicapper has given him a chance. C&D winner off 10lb higher in spring but has been out of form for a while now.
4	1 4th (1) (6/4 +63%) Object	1.5 6/4(+63%)	(1) Object 6/4, Cashed in on a career-low mark on reappearance over C&D in April. Largely respectable efforts since, fifth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. This rates more suitable returned to class 6 company. Now only 1lb higher than for C&D win in April and returns here in fairly good form.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/2 +13%) King Of The Jungle	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(4) King Of The Jungle 7/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Proved as good as ever when winning 11-runner handicap (11/2) at Thirsk (6f, good) 16 days ago. Shortlisted from 3 lb higher mark with forecast conditions very much in his favour. Back on career-high mark after recent win but has conditions to suit; probably in the mix.
6th	10 6th (10) (14/1 +0%) Redshore City	14 14/1(+0%)	(10) Redshore City 14/1, One win from 29 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fourth of 15 in handicap (12/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 18 days ago, nearest finish. Needs to build on that run now. Finished well for fourth at Bath last month and today's slower ground will suit; respected.
7th	11 7th (11) (50/1 -213%) Tommytwohoots	50 50/1(-213%)	(11) Tommytwohoots 50/1, Two wins from 43 Flat runs. 15/2, last of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, heavy) in May, struggling from 2f out. Switched yards ahead of return from 5 months off and others appear stronger. Went close over C&D in the spring but makes stable debut after 141-day break.
8th	3 8th (3) (6/1 -9%) Papa Don't Preach	6 6/1(-9%)	(3) Papa Don't Preach 6/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Not disgraced when fifth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 6/1) 6 days ago. Has fallen a long way in the weights but losing run does temper enthusiasm. Behind Alafdhal when fifth at Pontefract last week and now 0-22 on turf.
9th	5 9th (5) (50/1 -257%) Mr Trick	50 50/1(-257%)	(5) Mr Trick 50/1, Both victories for this yard have come on all weather, the latest at Chelmsford (10f) in December. Running respectably when last seen earlier this year and whilst he's significantly down in trip on return, he has won over 6f previously. Market should guide. Gained latest win over 1m2f; looks opposable over this trip, after a seven-month break.

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

KING OF THE JUNGLE impressed when running out a comfortable winner over 6f at Thirsk recently and, dropping back to 5f off a 3lb higher mark, he gets a tentative vote to bring up a double in what looks a trappy affair. Alafdhal was last seen finishing a gallant second over this trip at Pontefract and another bold bid looks likely, while the class-dropping Object, who was victorious over C&D in April, completes the shortlist.

ALAFDHAL confirmed his return to form when again finding only one too good at Pontefract 6 days ago and he looks a big player once more having fallen to a handy mark. King of The Jungle following his Thirsk victory rates the chief threat, ahead of Object and Foreseeable Future.

This can go to class-dropper OBJECT, who was a soft-ground C&D winner in the spring. Redshore City is second choice.

13:38 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:45 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 3) 5f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/11 +41%) Stormy Impact	0.363636 4/11(+41%)	(2) Stormy Impact 4/11, Runner-up in novices on first 3 starts and useful effort when fifth in a 6f Group 3 at the recent Ayr Western meeting. Sets a good standard. Three narrow defeats in novice races before good fifth of 13 in Group 3 at Ayr; big shout.
2	3 2nd (3) (14/1 -75%) Timescape	14 14/1(-75%)	(3) Timescape 14/1, 15/8, well-held fifth of 7 in novice at Beverley (5f, good to soft) on debut 78 days ago. The fact she was so short in the betting suggests a good deal better was anticipated. Second favourite for a novice at Beverley (5f, soft) in July but faded to be well beaten.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/2 -33%) Amestris	2.5 5/2(-33%)	(1) Amestris 5/2, Fairly useful performer. Won 5f Lingfield maiden (turf) in June. Ran up to her best when narrowly denied in 5f Windsor novice (good) 16 days ago. Likely to go well but may struggle to concede weight to Stormy Impact. Ran in Group/Listed races before neck 2nd at Windsor (at 4-6) in a novice race last time.

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

Timescape will need to improve on her fifth over 5f at Beverley in July but it wouldn't be a surprise if the daughter of Havana Grey left that performance behind. That said, preference is for STORMY IMPACT. Richard Fahey's charge was far from disgraced when fifth in a Group 3 at Ayr last month, and this looks a good opportunity for her to gain a breakthrough victory with her sights lowered. Recent Windsor runner-up Amestris has shown flashes of useful form and is likely to serve it up to the selection.

STORMY IMPACT has good form and can see off Amestris and open her account at the fifth time of asking.

This is where STORMY IMPACT can get off the mark. All her form suggests she can be more than a match for the penalised Amestris.

13:45 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 3) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:50 Sligo Beginners Chase 18f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (2/1 +56%) Cossack Chach	2 2/1(+56%)	(7) Cossack Chach 2/1, Fairly useful winner at 17f over hurdles. Yet to get near his hurdles form in a couple of attempts in this sphere but it's too soon to write him off just yet. Maiden hurdle winner well-beaten both chases, drops in trip, chance if on a going day.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +0%) Hypotenus	3 3/1(+0%)	(2) Hypotenus 3/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles who shaped better than distance beaten when fourth of 7 in novice at Ballinrobe (17.2f, good, 7/2) on debut over fences in May. Likely more to come in this sphere yet. Mistakes on chase debut, can race keenly, in good hands but not one for maximum faith.
3	6 3rd (6) (22/1 -38%) Wandering Rocks	22 22/1(-38%)	(6) Wandering Rocks 22/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Ballinrobe in May. 10/1, last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Plenty on plate on chase debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Disappointing over hurdles since winning at Ballinrobe, best watched on chasing debut.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +0%) Valsorpresa	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Valsorpresa 5/1, Matched best of his hurdles form when second of 6 in handicap at Perth (20.1f, good to soft) on debut over fences 23 days ago, running on. Entitled to build on that. Maiden hurdle winner in April, pleasing chasing debut at Perth, chance if rain stays away.
5th	3 5th (3) (15/2 -67%) If You Let Me	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(3) If You Let Me 15/2, Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Kilbeggan in May. Offered something to work on when third in novice at Roscommon (16.5f) on chase debut in August. Not out of things. Rated 119 over timber, Donoghue prefers Hypotenus but he can't be discounted.
6th	4 6th (4) (80/1 -100%) Perfect Pupil	80 80/1(-100%)	(4) Perfect Pupil 80/1, Modest hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Down Royal in March. Modest winner at 20f over hurdles. Eleventh of 14 in novice chase (50/1) at Kilbeggan (20.4f, good) 138 days ago. Best watched. Beaten 44l in latest chase at Kilbeggan, down in trip but up against it in this company.
7th	1 7th (1) (4/1 -78%) Brazil	4 4/1(-78%)	(1) Brazil 4/1, Useful hurdler at best, winning 2022 Fred Winter at Cheltenham Festival. Not been easiest to catch right since but wasn't knocked about on chase debut at Wexford in July and must be respected. Well-beaten on chase debut and last time on Flat, classy but current form a major worry.

Gavin Cromwell runs two and both have claims but stable jockey Keith Donoghue is on HYPOTENUS and he gets the vote. The Lope De Vega gelding has some strong form over hurdles and can improve from his chase debut fourth at Ballinrobe where his jumping let him down in the closing stages. Stablemate If You Let Me is a point-to-point winner and was placed on chase debut in August. He's had a couple of creditable runs on the level since. Valsorpresa split a couple of useful types when runner-up in a Perth handicap on his first start in this discipline. Brazil is the most talented performer in the field but hasn't shown much this year including on chase debut at Wexford.

HYPOTENUS is in good hands and offered something to work on when fourth on debut in this discipline at Ballinrobe in May. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking contest. Valsorpresa and Brazil may provide the chief threat.

VALSORPRESA is a tentative selection; he at least comes into this race on the back of a good run at Perth and should be thereabouts

14:00 Nottingham Maiden (Class 4) 8f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (13/8 -95%) Jowddah	1.625 13/8(-95%)	(2) Jowddah 13/8, Promising individual. 7/4, second of 7 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) 19 days ago, running on. Sets a good standard. Useful pedigree; second at Newmarket (7f, good) and Salisbury (7f, good to soft).
4	4 (4) (2/1 +20%) Tattycoram	2 2/1(+20%)	(4) Tattycoram 2/1, Camelot filly who showed ability when third of 6 in 1m novice at Ascot (good to soft, 13/2) on debut 26 days ago. Should improve. Third of six at Ascot (1m, soft) with Koko Blue closing to just over 1l; should improve.
1	1 (1) (4/1 +11%) Blue Laced	4 4/1(+11%)	(1) Blue Laced 4/1, Foaled March 7. Farhh filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 9.5f Cinderella's Dream. Farhh half-sister to 7f-9.5f winner Cinderella's Dream (including 2yo/US Gr 1; RPR 112);.
3	3 (3) (5/1 +50%) Koko Blue	5 5/1(+50%)	(3) Koko Blue 5/1, Twice-raced filly. Unseated rider on debut then fourth of 6 in novice at Ascot (8f, good to soft, 80/1) 26 days ago, hanging right from 2f out. 80-1, rallying fourth of six at Ascot (1m, soft) and finished on the heels of Tattycoram.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

JOWDDAH did little wrong when finding only a smart newcomer too strong in a class 2 maiden at Salisbury last month. A similar performance may prove good enough for Roger Varian's filly and she edges the vote over Tattycoram. The daughter of Camelot posted a solid third on her debut at Ascot 26 days ago and she's unlikely to be far away. Market support for the well-bred Blue Laced on her introduction would be interesting.

JOWDDAH bumped into a potentially smart one at Salisbury last month and, with the step up to 1m promising to suit, she's taken to make it third time lucky. Tattycoram showed promise on her debut at Ascot and is feared most with improvement on the cards.

Newcomer Blue Laced needs a close look and there's not much between the other three on ratings. TATTYCORAM is narrowly preferred.

3	3 (3) (7/1 +13%) Little Keilee	7 7/1(+13%)	(3) Little Keilee 7/1, 10/1, run best excused when fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, good) 22 days ago, caught wider than ideal. Better judged on previous form. Best turf form on testing ground; well held latest but generally a consistent sort.

After winning at Dundalk on Friday, Rampage is sure to have plenty of supporters, carrying a 7lb winner's penalty. No worse than fifth in five visits to Bellewstown, another bold bid looks likely from the locally trained five-year-old. However, it is SKONTONOVSKI who gets the nod if turned out quickly following his Cork engagement on Tuesday. A brilliant servant to connections, the nine-time winner has been knocking on the door of late, keeping on well to finish fourth at Listowel last week. Successful over this course and distance in July, Amanirenas might be able to bounce back from some below par recent efforts. A five time winner for Paul Flynn, Feature This is of definite interest on his first start for Ian Donoghue, while others for the shortlist in this competitive affair are Breezy Zoff, Pimstrel and Fastman.

SKONTONOVSKI is on a good mark and has been running well lately, so he's put forward as the answer. Breezy Zoff and Little Keilee head up the opposition.

It might be worth chancing PIMSTREL who hit the frame over this course and distance when last seen and softer ground should suit

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (7/4 +56%) Brazilian Belle	1.75 7/4(+56%)	(5) Brazilian Belle 7/4, Won second of 3 starts in maidens and ran best race despite a tardy start when staying on third of 8 on nursery debut at Thirsk (5f) 25 days ago. On a workable mark on that evidence and she's one for the shortlist. Soft-ground C&D winner who was placed off this mark on last month's nursery debut.
4	4 (4) (9/4 +59%) Rogue Bullet	2.25 9/4(+59%)	(4) Rogue Bullet 9/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Looked unlucky not to finish closer when fifth of 12 in nursery at Bath (5f, good, 10/3) 18 days ago, twice short of room before finishing well. One to be interested in on the back of that. Did well to finish fifth of 12 on nursery debut at Bath, having been denied a clear run.
3	3 (3) (13/2 -63%) Lovat Scout	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(3) Lovat Scout 13/2, Made a winning debut at Thirsk (6f) in July but not built on that in 2 subsequent outings, looking less than straightforward when eighth of 9 in nursery at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Eased 2 lb ahead of this and it's probably too soon to be writing him off for excellent stable. Won over 6f on debut; drops in trip after two disappointing efforts.
8	8 (8) (12/1 -9%) Tees Aggregates	12 12/1(-9%)	(8) Tees Aggregates 12/1, Showed improved form when opening his account from the front on nursery debut at Leicester (5f) in July. Found things tougher from inflated marks since, however. Won on nursery debut in the summer; needs to bounce back from a tame effort last month.
10	10 (10) (12/1 -167%) Solar Biricz	12 12/1(-167%)	(10) Solar Biricz 12/1, Winner at Musselburgh in August. 4/7, creditable second of 6 in nursery at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 25 days ago, no match for winner. Revised mark understandably demands that bit more. Comfortably opened account two starts ago and placed off today's 10lb higher mark since.
1	1 (1) (16/1 -45%) Al Hussar	16 16/1(-45%)	(1) Al Hussar 16/1, Winner of 10-runner Doncaster maiden (5f, firm) in May but disappointing since, albeit stiff task in 19-runner Super Sprint at Newbury in July. Gelded since and switch to handicaps now rates a plus. Could bounce back. Made all in Doncaster maiden in May but returns from break with a point to prove.
7	7 (7) (16/1 -14%) Azuinthejungle	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Azuinthejungle 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 33/1) 14 days ago, never on terms but not knocked about. Makes handicap debut and could yet have more to offer. Well beaten in debut in May but returned from break with two promising fourths last month.
6	6 (6) (22/1 -57%) Commander Atkinson	22 22/1(-57%)	(6) Commander Atkinson 22/1, Kodiac colt who showed definite promise amidst greenness on debut at Nottingham (5f) in June. Unable to match that either start thereafter. Given a break ahead of nursery debut and interesting if the market spoke in his favour. Made quite encouraging debut over 5f but well beaten over 6f twice since.
2	2 (2) (25/1 -79%) Station X	25 25/1(-79%)	(2) Station X 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, last of 8 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good) 38 days ago, weakening when short of room final 1f. Eases in class here and yard amongst the winners so no surprise to see a better showing. Good second on nursery debut but finished last after racing too freely on latest outing.
11	11 (11) (50/1 -150%) Barmyblade	50 50/1(-150%)	(11) Barmyblade 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden who failed to improve for fitting of blinkers when fifth of 10 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good, 33/1) 48 days ago. Gelded subsequently and progress required if he's to play a lead role here. Didn't run badly on latest outing but needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Punters will need to be in a forgiving mood to side with LOVAT SCOUT, but it may pay to do so. Karl Burke's charge finished down the field over 6f on his nursery debut at Ayr recently, but he was far too keen in the early stages on that occasion and, dropping to the minimum trip with his sights lowered, he can return to winning ways. Al Hussar was outclassed in the Super Sprint at Newbury but can go well on his nursery debut, while Solar Biricz is another to consider.

ROGUE BULLET shaped well and looked unlucky not to finish closer having been denied a run when fifth on nursery debut at Bath 18 days ago. He's one to be interested in on that evidence and earns the vote. Brazilian Belle and Lovat Scout are others to consider, as is Roysdelight if taking up this engagement.

The pick is ROGUE BULLET, who did not enjoy the run of the race at Bath last month and, in the circumstances, did well to finish fifth.

6	6 (6) (14/1 -133%) Storm The Dug	14 14/1(-133%)	(6) Storm The Dug 14/1, Posted best effort yet when third of 9 in maiden over C&D (good) 35 days ago and remains open to further improvement on switch to handicapping. Best run when third in a C&D maiden last time (form sound); chance on handicap debut.
10	10 (10) (22/1 -120%) Gold Black	22 22/1(-120%)	(10) Gold Black 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 11 in nursery at Southwell (6.1f) 29 days ago, never nearer. May do better over this longer trip. Gelded since last run. Modest form; beaten less than 3l on h'cap debut latest; gelded since; first run at 7f.
9	9 (9) (33/1 -106%) Tower Of Africa	33 33/1(-106%)	(9) Tower Of Africa 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, eighth of 11 in nursery at Southwell (6.1f) 45 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Best run so far when third in 6f Doncaster nursery in August; stamina to prove.

CASHLYN CAVALIER shaped with more promise than the bare result suggests when finishing seventh over 6f at Haydock in August, looking tapped for toe at a crucial stage before keeping on well inside the final furlong. Now stepping up to 7f for the first time, he gets the vote to score on his nursery debut. Herb Fennel has shown a fair level of ability and must enter calculations, while better can be expected from Storm The Dug.

Preference is for STORM THE DUG, who found improvement when third here last time and looks to have been brought along with nurseries in mind. Herb Fennel and Cashlyn Cavalier head the list of dangers.

Having shown improved form when third in a C&D maiden last time STORM THE DUG looks to have a sound chance on his handicap debut.

7	7 (7) (10/3 +39%) Baltinglass Hill	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(7) Baltinglass Hill 10/3, Latest win in hurdle at Roscommon in June. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Listowel (16f, soft) 6 days ago, pulled up before 2 out. Switches from hurdles to chase and he's lower in the weights over these obstacles. Was in good form over hurdles until latest; placed in Thurles handicap on only chase start.
5	5 (5) (7/2 +65%) Rightfolksplease	3.5 7/2(+65%)	(5) Rightfolksplease 7/2, Winner in hurdle at Downpatrick in June. Modest winner at 18f over hurdles. 5/1, fell in handicap chase at Wexford (16f, good to soft) 56 days ago, might have been placed. Likely to improve if he can brush up his jumping.

STILL CIEL, fitted with a tongue-tie since being sent over fences, has acquitted herself well with two runner-up berths from three starts over the larger obstacles. Narrowly denied by an improver at Tramore last time, she will benefit from Ethan O'Sullivan's 7lb claim but wouldn't want the ground to deteriorate too much. Ceanndana hasn't been out of the first two in four chase starts this year and looks sure to give a good account but he is down in trip by almost a mile compared to his last two runs in Kilbeggan. Runner-up at Tramore last time, Natural Breeze gets a big pull at the weights with Ceanndana from a clash at that track in May but is another who would prefer further.

Like many from his stable, CEANNDANA has been in top form for a while over both sets of obstacles and this mark looks well within range. Inthenickfotime goes chasing for leading connections and is very dangerous in receipt of a handy 4-y-o allowance, with Baltinglass Hill another to consider.

Ethan O'Sullivan's claim could be significant on handicap debutant STILL CIEL and she was just denied by an improver last time

There were plenty of positives to be gleaned from VEBLEN GOOD's debut second at Sandown last month and any improvement would make him tough to beat. The softer ground holds no fears for the Starspangledbanner colt and a breakthrough victory looks imminent. Nad Alshiba Snow arrives on the back of a respectable runner-up effort at Lingfield and she rates as the biggest danger, ahead of Think Of A Name.

VEBLEN GOOD is bred to be sharp and having showed up very nicely on debut at Sandown 3 weeks ago, he can improve beyond the standard set by the more-exposed filly Nad Alshiba Snow. Think of A Name can also make his presence felt.

Nad Alshiba Snow and Think Of A Name are considered but preference is for VEBLEN GOOD whose debut second was on soft ground.

Manhattan Dandy won this contest 12 months ago, while Mogwli was successful on the same card. Both have failed to trouble the judge in recent starts, but are capable of making an impact. Sneddy Eddie is another course and distance winner in the line-up and after finishing third at Roscommon early last month, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a few places better now. With Colin Keane aboard, IVASECRET looks the one to beat. Claimed by current connection after an easy success for Ian Williams at Laytown, the six-time winner will be well fancied to follow-up. Second over this course and distance in July, Perfect Curves warrants respect with Keithen Kennedy claiming a valuable 7lb, while Zero Fighter is another for the shortlist.

SNEDDY EDDIE arrives in form and won his previous visit here so he gets the nod. Manhattan Dandy won this 12 months ago so don't be surprised to see him bounce back to form and make a bold bid in this race again. Gordon Elliott's Perfect Curve is another with C&D form and completes the shortlist.

SNEDDY EDDIE gave it a good go from the front when placed at Roscommon last month and he can confirm the form with Manhattan Dandy

4	4 (4) (14/1 +22%) Genbu	14 14/1(+22%)	(4) Genbu 14/1, Foaled March 25. 20,000 gns foal, €35,000 yearling, Kameko colt. Half-brother to useful 7f winner Castle Harbour and winner up to 1m Carnival Rose. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 8.3f Mabait. Predominant jumps stable 0-7 with their 2-y-os on turf this season. Kameko colt appeals on paper but the market can guide on his debut.
5	5 (5) (50/1 -100%) Say What You See	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) Say What You See 50/1, Belardo gelding who is bred for longer trips and he shaped in kind when fourth of 7 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm) on debut 61 days ago, racing off the pace/in snatches before making steady headway. Entitled to know more this time. Encouraging debut fourth at Musselburgh; this Belardo colt can take a step forward now.
8	8 (8) (125/1 -150%) Eye On The Prize	125 125/1(-150%)	(8) Eye On The Prize 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in novice at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 200/1) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Handicaps promise to be more her bag moving forward. Well held in novices at Thirsk/Beverley (7f) last month; she looks one for the longer term.
6	6 (6) (200/1 -400%) Laurens Dream	200 200/1(-400%)	(6) Laurens Dream 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Again showed little when eighth of 9 in maiden (80/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip but she looks a longer-term project. Has beaten just one rival in novice at Hamilton and maiden at Beverley; lots more needed.

HOT TO DOT was doing her best work in the closing stages when scoring comfortably over 5f at Pontefract on her debut in April and, with the step up in trip promising to suit, she gets the vote to make it two wins from as many starts. Troy Story was far from disgraced when fourth in a hot Sandown maiden latest and is the main danger to the selection with his sights lowered. Kirkdale is another to consider.

TROY STORY improved on his debut form when finishing an encouraging fourth in a Sandown maiden (7f) 4 weeks ago and, with the prospect of more to come, he earns the vote. Kirkdale ran well when runner-up on his latest start and is next best ahead of Hot To Dot who has been absent since making a winning debut at Pontefract back in the spring.

Alan King's Ulysses colt TROY STORY looked open to further improvement when fourth at Sandown last time out so he edges the vote.

WITHOUT DELAY showed a likeable attitude when winning over a mile here last month and, upped 2lb, she gets the vote to bring up the double here. The step back up in trip should see Ramon Di Loria to better effect, while Keep Me Stable can bounce back having struggled when turned out under a 5lb penalty at Newcastle last month.

RWENEARLYTHEREDAD has a career-low mark to work with and the application of a visor could be just what he needs to allow him to travel with a bit more purpose. He therefore gets the tentative nod in favour of The Gay Blade and Keep Me Stable.

An open race in which the vote goes to WITHOUT DELAY, who is only 2lb higher than for her brave win here 18 days ago.

Four-times a winner over hurdles at trips up to 3m, KILLINURE LASS came forward nicely from her first start over fences when runner-up at Tramore in August. The daughter of Morozov is adaptable as regards ground conditions and in-form Daniel King's presence in the saddle for the first time is another positive. Keith Donoghue was on the selection last time but now rides recent Listowel hurdles winner One Night Standard for Gavin Cromwell. From the family of Nick Dundee and a half-sister to winning chasers, she merits plenty of respect on her first start in this discipline. Atacanter returns from a break and would prefer further but his solid handicap form puts him in the mix.

ONE NGHT STANDARD has already enjoyed a productive spell over hurdles and is fancied to continue the good work switched to the larger obstacles. Killinure Lass and Atacanter are probably the main threats.

Preference is for \bKILLINURE LASS\ who knew how to win over hurdles and showed improvement on second chase start at Tramore in August.

Struggled in his first 3 nurseries but back on the up returned to Hamilton when narrowly denied over 6f on soft last month.

Having finished a fine second at Ayr 12 days ago, Stirrup Cup is likely to prove popular in his current mood. A 2lb higher rating shouldn't prevent another prominent showing from Tim Easterby's colt, but it may be worth taking a punt on the distance-dropping BLEWBURTON. The son of Saxon Warrior found the 7f trip too far on his nursery bow at Sandown last time out and better is expected on this return to 6f. Shazani could also bounce back on this softer ground.

BLEWBURTON coped really well with deep ground at Leicester in the spring and might prove the answer to this nursery. Stirrup Cup arrives in form and rates an obvious threat, while Shazani could also have a say if bouncing back to the level of his penultimate Hamilton second.

An open contest in which Eve Johnson Houghton has two chances and the answer could be provided by one of them in EIGHTEENCARATGOLD.

Already twice successful over the course and distance this season, both COPIE CONFORME and The Bog Bank are sure to prove popular with punters. The Kevin Prendergast-trained former is marginally preferred. A consistent sort, she'll be ridden by the experienced Jack Cleary, who is enjoying his best campaign to date. From the nearby village of Kentstown, Alyse Clarke has been aboard The Bog Bank for his two most recent successes. The young apprentice again takes the ride and claims a valuable 4lb. Polar Bear and Rhythm King are other course winners in the line-up, with the former upped in trip after a disappointing effort at Laytown. The progressive Proleek Prince made the breakthrough at Punchestown recently and is another obvious contender.

PROLEEK PRINCE has been steadily progressive since being switched to handicaps and he's fancied to follow up his breakthrough success at Punchestown last month at the chief expense of Copie Conforme, who is 2-2 at this course but may have to settle for silver this time. The Bog Bank, who boasts 4 C&D wins and was successful here again just over 5 weeks ago, completes the shortlist.

Preference is for PROLEEK PRINCE. He has run ok on soft before and his jockey's claim offsets most of his 6lb rise for his recent win.

Lunacy had Perfect Arch (eighth) behind when making the frame in this grade at Newcastle last time and he is expected to confirm that form and go close. However, the vote goes to CAN CAN GIRL, who finished third over 1m4f at Thirsk on her latest outing and goes off an unchanged mark. Craig Lidster's six-year-old should have no issues with the step back up in trip and can return to winning ways. Captain Potter completes the shortlist.

BOLLIN NEIL has been working his way back to full fitness after a long absence and this is a much weaker race than the two he's contested so far this term, so he's worth taking a chance on from a much-reduced mark. Lord Torranaga and Captain Potter are also definite players.

It could be worth siding with CALEVADE, who arrives in good form from the other code and goes well here and on the forecast ground.

Back down in trip, which may suit given how free he was last time. Only win was in C&D maiden; not so good over 6f/7f since; quite interesting back at 5f.

KYBER CRYSTAL had Royal Duke (third) and Sixcor (sixth) behind when regaining the winning thread in this grade at Hamilton. Rebecca Menzies' five-year-old is a previous C&D winner and has lots in her favour to go in again, despite carrying a 5lb penalty. Mrs Bagerran has had the selection behind her over track and trip the last twice and could prove to be the main threat as she remains in good heart.

KYBER CRYSTAL confirmed her resurgence post-breathing operation when successful at Hamilton 10 days ago and this in-form mare is taken to go in again under a 5 lb penalty. Mrs Bagerran and Sixcor can emerge as the main threats.

Although Mrs Beagerran has strong claims a chance is taken with ROYAL DUKE who is well drawn and still progressing.

He's an infrequent winner but ROOM TO ROAM landed this prize last year and may be able to do so again. The 10-year-old ran well in a higher grade when fourth at Kilbeggan in July and a few underwhelming efforts since have seen his mark drop enough to render him eligible for this repeat bid. A long-standing maiden over hurdles, C'est Rien got off the mark at the first time of asking over the larger obstacles at Tramore and is obviously open to further progress. Joe's Turn, let down by his jumping last time, was a snug winner at Kilbeggan two starts back while British import General Hubble has a chance on his stable debut third at Killarney.

C'EST RIEN looked rejuvenated by the switch to chasing when successful at Tramore a fortnight ago and with that in mind, she can follow up. Joe's Turn and General Hubble head the opposition.

Last year's winner ROOM TO ROAM has been in reasonable form this summer and can land this again off the same mark as 12 months ago

2	2 (2) (5/1 +23%) Fantasy Master	5 5/1(+23%)	(2) Fantasy Master 5/1, Tends to go well at this time of year and bounce back to capitalise on a handy mark at Doncaster last time. Solid record over this C&D and is likely to go close. A win and a second in the last two renewals; strong form when winning latest; good claims.
3	3 (3) (13/2 -18%) Hierarchy	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(3) Hierarchy 13/2, Having eased further in the weights, has returned to form lately, again shaping well when runner-up at Hamilton 10 days ago. Slow starts are an ongoing cause for concern, but he can make his presence felt if they go quick. On a dangerous mark and last two runs have been promising; each-way shout again.
6	6 (6) (13/2 +0%) Four Adaay	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(6) Four Adaay 13/2, 10/3, ended long losing run in 7-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, soft) 19 days ago, staying on to lead last ½f. Remains feasibly treated on old form. 5f win at Sandown 19 days ago; up 5lb against stronger rivals; 6f on soft a worry too.
5	5 (5) (7/1 -17%) The Ridler	7 7/1(-17%)	(5) The Ridler 7/1, Hasn't won for a while but has found his level lately and has put a string of reasonable performances together, fifth in the Bronze Cup at Ayr last time. Could be on the premises. On a dangerous mark and there has been promise this year; might prefer quicker ground.
10	10 (10) (8/1 +27%) So Grateful	8 8/1(+27%)	(10) So Grateful 8/1, On a fair mark and has run well to be placed on his last couple of starts, third at Hamilton 2 days ago. Hasn't won for a while, though, and it's a tough ask in the face of such a quick turnaround. Handicapped to win but this is a stronger race than he's been contesting.
7	7 (7) (8/1 +0%) Music Society	8 8/1(+0%)	(7) Music Society 8/1, Long time since his last win but he's fairly treated and has bounced back to form lately, again running well when second at Ripon 4 days ago. Could get involved if the race doesn't come too soon. On a losing run but comes here in form and conditions no problem; should run his race.
9	9 (9) (12/1 +0%) Havana Pursuit	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Havana Pursuit 12/1, Bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 5/2) 4 days ago. Hard to make a strong case for after another quick turnaround. Ran well on penultimate start but less good on Saturday; vulnerable in this field.
4	4 (4) (12/1 -33%) Minnesota Lad	12 12/1(-33%)	(4) Minnesota Lad 12/1, Ended a long losing sequence with success in 9-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June and backed it up with a respectable sixth behind Northern Spirit at York last time. Not without hope. Doncaster win in June off 2lb lower; handles soft, perhaps not heavy; others look stronger.
8	8 (8) (20/1 +9%) Maharajas Express	20 20/1(+9%)	(8) Maharajas Express 20/1, Scored on heavy ground for Jack Jones at Bath earlier in the season but hasn't really fired since joining current stable, and others make more appeal. Conditions suit but needs to return to his spring best; going back over 6f is a plus.

Northern Spirit is in brilliant form after completing a double at York on his most recent start, and he should give a good account off a 5lb higher rating. However, it may pay to side with THE RIDLER. The son of Brazen Beau dead-heated for fifth in the Bronze Cup at Ayr last time and that looks the best form on offer. Four Adaay struck at Sandown last month and she completes the shortlist.

NORTHERN SPIRIT is clearly better than ever and this isn't as competitive as the 18-runner event he landed at York last time, so he's fancied to complete the hat-trick at the possible expense of fellow last-time-out winner Fantasy Master, who goes well here. Four Adaay also makes the shortlist.

Last year's second and third, FANTASY MASTER (nap) and Northern Spirit, should feature prominently once again.

PANSY POE is unlikely to get a better opportunity to open her account. An 80,000-euro yearling purchase, the 73-rated bay has been placed four times from eight starts. Versatile with regards to ground, she was third when last seen at the Curragh, with subsequent winner Just For One Day a place behind. Rated just 1lb inferior, The Poacher Daly is the obvious danger. Without a win in nine starts, he has been placed twice and finished third when last seen at Down Royal. Limoncello Lady (first time visor) ran her best race to date when beaten by just a head at Navan recently and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a place better now. Third in a weak contest at Tipperary in May, Times In Oz warrants respect in first-time cheekpieces.

PANSY POE arrives with comfortably the best form to her name and this seems like an excellent opportunity for her to get off the mark. The Poacher Daly and Limoncello Lady are both respected for all that they'll need to find improvement.

It might be worth taking a chance on TIMES IN OZ. She ran well on soft at Tipperary and the booking of Keane looks significant.

ALTMORE took a pleasing step forward from his debut effort to score by a short head over 6f at Chepstow on his latest outing. The son of Showcasing beat a 75-rated rival in second that day, so his opening mark gives hope of a big run considering the possible improvement that might come for stepping up in trip. Homer Stokes justified favouritism over track and trip last time and he should mount a bold bid off 5lb higher, while Shelbourne is another to consider.

ALTMORE created a good impression when opening his account back from an absence at Chepstow last month and he's much the least exposed of these, so he's the one to side with over Bill's Baar, who should be back on his game after a break. Monsieur Kodi is another one to consider after shaping well in the Bronze Cup at Ayr.

Handily weighted MONSIEUR KODI may now have the right opportunity, although Homer Stokes and Shelbourne have winning form here.

Something possibly amiss when gambled on and a well-held fourth at Carlisle at the start of July as she hasn't been seen since. Capable of bouncing back. Sets the standard on peak effort but was disappointing at Carlisle latest; mixed messages.
11	11 (11) (3/1 -33%) Sea Journey	3 3/1(-33%)	(11) Sea Journey 3/1, Sea The Stars filly who stepped up on last autumn's Newmarket debut when narrowly denied over 1¼m at Lingfield (AW) on last month's reappearance. Should have more to offer and part of a strong hand in this for her top stable. Went close at Lingfield on return and is open to more progress upped to 1m3f; shortlisted.

The Gosdens boast a strong hand with their trio, and Sea Journey, a narrow second at Doncaster on her reappearance last month is perhaps the best of those. Kitty Furnival has been given some time off following a below-par run at Catterick. She sets the standard on official ratings though and must be respected, but preference is afforded to SHADY BAY. Tom Ward's filly kept on well over 1m2f at Nottingham in July and, with a step up in trip likely to suit, she can find the necessary improvement.

The Gosden stable looks to hold the key to this race, with FAIFA, the mount of Oisin Murphy, narrowly preferred to Lingfield runner-up Sea Journey. Kitty Furnival should also figure if recapturing the form she showed when placed over C&D in June. The third Gosden runner Jane Temple, a well-bred newcomer, also needs a betting check.

The Gosdens have three interesting contenders and their recent Lingfield runner-up SEA JOURNEY gets the vote on her step up to 1m3f.

3	3 (3) (7/2 +36%) Million Thanks	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(3) Million Thanks 7/2, Fairly useful gelding. Course winner. Latest win at Pontefract in May. Followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when eleventh of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Pontefract (8f, good) 45 days ago. Has to be taken seriously in this grade for the first time. Not much has gone to plan since his winning seasonal debut in May; leap of faith needed.
4	4 (4) (7/2 +46%) Autumn Festival	3.5 7/2(+46%)	(4) Autumn Festival 7/2, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Tailed off since reappearance this year, last of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Epsom (7f, heavy) 3 days ago. Back up in trip. Struggling for form at present so percentage call to look elsewhere. Placed in Thirsk Hunt Cup on seasonal debut but has looked badly out of sorts since.

First run for yard after leaving Andreas Wohler (sold for just 1,000 gns). Market should be a good indicator as to what is expected. Placed on the Flat in Germany in the spring; makes her British debut here.
2	2 (2) (11/1 +31%) Midnight Lion	11 11/1(+31%)	(2) Midnight Lion 11/1, Fair gelding. Latest win at Newcastle in April. 15/2, last of 6 in seller at Hamilton (11.1f, good) 10 days ago, again proving keen. Back down in trip. Keen-going front-runner; won on AW in April but recently came last in a seller.

AL MARMAR finished midfield in a class 4 handicap at Thirsk last time and possibly brings the best most recent form into this contest. Gemma Tutty's five-year-old has his first attempt at this distance and he could be the one to beat. Bint Al Karama is an interesting contender on her first start for the Iain Jardine stable and it will be interesting if the market speaks in her favour. Of the remainder, Autumn Festival makes the most appeal.

Rebecca Menzies and Kaiya Fraser have enjoyed plenty of success in recent weeks and MILLION THANKS can add another to their tally dropping into this grade for the first time at the expense of Noble Anthem, who is declared to run over fences at Sedgefield on Tuesday but would be a big danger if rocking up here. Stable-switcher Bint Al Karama can fill out third.

This is probably a good opportunity for AL MARMAR, who has been quite consistent in fairly good handicaps since the spring.

SPACE TOURIST looks to have been found a perfect opportunity to gain a second win over fences. The Willie Mullins-trained mare, who opened her account at Tramore last time, was Listed class over hurdles. Winner of his maiden hurdle at this venue, Digby has to be respected for trainer Dermot McLoughlin. Runner-up on his first two starts over fences, the nine-year-old will need to recapture his best form having disappointed of late. Jazzy Matty, who had excuses when pulled up at Listowel recently, is better judged on his earlier success at Wexford. A former Cheltenham festival winner, the five-year-old remains open to improvement on what is just his fifth start over fences.

SPACE TOURIST confirmed chase debut promise in no uncertain terms when successful in a Tramore maiden 45 days ago, her jumping assured and proving game to edge ahead in the finish. Open to further progress in this sphere judged on her useful hurdles form, she makes plenty of appeal. Digby and The Friday Man may emerge as the chief threats.

This can go the way of SPACE TOURIST who is a Listed winner over timber and has made a bright start to life over fences

KNIGHT TEMPLAR is unbeaten in two starts for the Robert Stephens stable and he could have plenty more to offer over this distance. The son of Haafhd is only 6lb higher for his latest triumph at Haydock and might be able to take this step up in class in his stride. Clever Relation was successful in a seller at Goodwood last time and he is an interesting contender back over this trip with William Buick booked. Alpine Stroll is another to note.

IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU arrives in top form and will have no problem with the likely testing conditions. He can complete the hat-trick. Expressionless and Clever Relation may provide the chief threat.

Most have realistic each-way claims but hat-trick seeking pair IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU and Knight Templar may be the ones to focus on.

A case can be made for all seven. Successful in this very contest 12 months ago and rated 1lb lower now, MICKEY THE STEEL is the selection. Not seen since April, the four-time winner has been given a chance by the handicapper and will be ridden by young apprentice Sam Coen who claims a valuable 10lb. Inishmot Prince finished with a flourish when registering his first win on turf at Navan recently, and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up. A close fifth in that Proudstown Park contest, Rathbranchurch will have his supporters, while Escaping Thejungle, who hinted at a return to form when fourth at Laytown, is another leading hope.

Last year's winner MICKEY THE STEEL could be geared up for a big run back from a break and 1 lb lower than for that success. Navan winner Inishmot Prince and Distillate are feared.

Preference is for ESCAPING THEJUNGLE. The C&D winner is 13lb lower than when beat a head at Cork last year and she ran well at Laytown.

Having completed a double when landing a 14-runner sprint at Redcar in late July, a hat-trick could be on the cards for GARIFULLINA. A 2lb rise in the ratings looks more than workable for the filly and she gets the nod ahead of Mintana. The daughter of Havana Grey has proved a model of consistency in recent months and another good account can be expected. Too Much Too Young is another to note reverting to turf in first-time blinkers.

SHARK TWO ONE shaped well at Thirsk last time and a wide draw may be beneficial in these conditions, so he's marginally preferred to the hat-trick seeking Garifullina, with Mintana also considered.

Having looked as though she could eke out more in her latest win, GARIFULLINA (nap) is taken to complete a hat-trick.

Nahi contested a useful maiden at Nottingham on his debut in June and the son of Blue Point looks set to go well following an absence, while Newcastle scorer West Acre should not be underestimated despite the 7lb penalty. However, the vote goes to GALLANT. Andrew Balding's charge made a pleasing racecourse debut, a race which has since worked out well. This surface should hold no fears and he can go in at the second time of asking. Others to note include Kosometsuke and Manara.

WEST ACRE looked good on his Newcastle debut and is up to defying a penalty for George Scott. Nahi and Gallant both displayed promise on debut and can give the selection most to think about.

West Acre can go well despite his penalty but Gallant and NAHI appeal as potential big improvers.

ZUMAATY escapes a penalty having defeated Temper Trap (second) when bouncing back to form in an apprentice handicap at Hamilton last Monday. Jim Goldie's gelding is fancied to confirm his superiority over that rival en route to further success. Angel Of The Bay arrives on the back of two creditable performances, including at Redcar in first-time blinkers, and he appeals most of the remainder.

ANGEL OF THE BAY would have finished closer than fourth with a clear run in a better handicap than this at Redcar last week and on that evidence, he looks ready to open his account. Zumaaty and Temper Trap filled the first 2 positions at Hamilton 9 days ago and from identical terms, they should be involved again.

The Hamilton rivals ZUMAATY and Temper Trap top the list. Jim Goldie's 6yo escapes a penalty for last week's apprentices' win.

16:45 Sligo Handicap Chase 26f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
6	6 (6) (7/2 +75%) Bondi Boy Blue	3.5 7/2(+75%)	(6) Bondi Boy Blue 7/2, 10/1, produced best effort to date without being seen to best effect when fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, good to soft) 47 days ago, finishing with running left. Up in trip for chase debut and likely he has a bigger effort in his locker. Flat-bred been running respectably over hurdles this summer; up in trip for chase debut.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +18%) Ballagh Star	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(4) Ballagh Star 9/2, 5/1, respectable fourth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago, possibly overdoing forcing tactics. Interesting if the market spoke in his favour now chasing from career-low mark. Some fair efforts in staying hurdles; chase debutant has chance if he improves for fences.
2	2 (2) (5/1 +38%) Le Grand Vert	5 5/1(+38%)	(2) Le Grand Vert 5/1, Cosy winner on return/stable debut over fences at Roscommon (25f) in August. Respectable effort next time but found his run of good form coming to a halt when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.4f, soft, 3/1) 37 days ago. Returns to chasing now. Winning start in Ireland at Roscommon in August; freshened up since poor hurdles run.
8	8 (8) (6/1 +0%) Ocodango Boy	6 6/1(+0%)	(8) Ocodango Boy 6/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap chase (7/1) at Tramore (22.8f, good) 14 days ago, staying on latter stages. Step back up in trip in his favour on evidence of that run. Some fair runs in handicap chases on decent ground and should get the this longer trip.
1	1 (1) (7/1 +13%) Tullyhogue Fort	7 7/1(+13%)	(1) Tullyhogue Fort 7/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Respectable 7½ lengths fifth of 16 to Le Grand Vert in handicap chase at Roscommon (25f, soft, 9/1) 57 days ago. Can make presence felt. Fifth to Le Grand Vert over similar trip at Roscommon; 7lb better off here and stays well.
10	10 (10) (15/2 -25%) Repeat That	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(10) Repeat That 15/2, Veteran who stepped up markedly on his comeback run when winning over hurdles at Kilbeggan (24.5f) last month. Not in same form after 3 days off when twelfth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.4f) 23 days ago but bounce back not ruled out returning to larger obstacles. Rated much lower over fences but can make mistakes; first chase start in over a year.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +14%) Bearwithmenow	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Bearwithmenow 12/1, One win from 22 NH runs. Below best when 17½ lengths eighth of 15 to Stormy Master in handicap chase at Wexford (25f, good to soft, 11/1) 33 days ago. Others more persuasive. Omission of many fences counted against him at Wexford, second there the time before.
11	11 (11) (12/1 -50%) Fr Gilligansvoyge	12 12/1(-50%)	(11) Fr Gilligansvoyge 12/1, One win from 56 NH runs. Second of 15 in handicap chase (50/1) at Ballinrobe (23.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago, well positioned. Overall record suggests he's no sure thing to be in same form here. Returned to form at Ballinrobe (2m7f) when just in front of Agirlcalledchloe; place shout.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -357%) Stormy Master	16 16/1(-357%)	(3) Stormy Master 16/1, 22/1, returned to form from out of the blue when winning 15-runner handicap chase at Wexford (25f, good to soft) 33 days ago, just needing to be shaken up to assert. Overall record suggests he's not sure to be in same form here. Not the most reliable but was a on a going day when winning over similar trip at Wexford.
7	7 (7) (100/1 -52%) Deal Again	100 100/1(-52%)	(7) Deal Again 100/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft, 200/1) 28 days ago. That was his first start for 2 years but his overall record is anything but inspiring. Significantly up in trip for chase debut. 10yo has shown next to nothing; up in trip for chase debut and dam won over fences.

A winner at Wexford last month, STORMY MASTER can double up for trainer Ray Hackett. The 10-year-old, who is at his best on a quick surface, should get his ground here. Repeat That, who scored over hurdles at Kilbeggan on his penultimate start, is much better handicapped over fences. Although yet to trouble the judge in eight starts, the David Harry Kelly-trained veteran has to be competitive if putting in a clear round. Recent Galway fourth Ballagh Star is interesting on this chasing debut. The six-year-old remains open to improvement after just 12 career starts. Having shaped with definite promise last time, it would be no surprise to see the Ask gelding play a leading role in this modest contest.

Not a strong handicap by any means and with that in mind it could be worth siding with chase debutant BONDI BOY BLUE. Noted finishing with running left when fifth over hurdles at Tramore (21f) 7 weeks ago, he wouldn't have to step up a great deal to make his mark here. Repeat That is a danger judged on his penultimate hurdles victory last month, with Wexford scorer Stormy Master and Ballagh Star others to note.

A test of stamina is what TULLYHOGUE FORT requires and he can turn around Roscommon form with Le Grand Vert

Consistency hard to knock subsequently, second of 9 in handicap at Sandown (10f, soft) 19 days ago. Looks sure to go well again. Close second at Sandown (soft; unraced on heavy) on latest outing; should have a big shout.
2	2 (2) (7/2 -17%) Prometeo	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(2) Prometeo 7/2, Progressive sort who has scored twice on turf this season and added to his tally over longest trip he's faced at Kempton (11f) 6 weeks ago, edging ahead close home. Up 4 lb ahead of this but unlikely he's finished improving just yet. Reached new heights winning last two; unraced on soft or heavy, which poses a big question.
1	1 (1) (7/2 +0%) Elladonna	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(1) Elladonna 7/2, Displayed improved form back up in trip fitted with a hood, scoring over C&D in May before comfortably following up at Salisbury (9.9f, good) in July. Not seen to best effect with hood left off when sixth of 10 in handicap at Haydock 4 weeks ago and she remains of interest with headgear back on. Unraced on worse than good to soft; headgear left off in her hat-trick bid but now returns.
4	4 (4) (5/1 +33%) Ardbraccan	5 5/1(+33%)	(4) Ardbraccan 5/1, Won on return to action here (8.3f, heavy) in April and plenty of creditable efforts have followed, again finding only one too good in 6-runner Sandown handicap (1m) 33 days ago. Effective at this trip and respected for all her mark looks about right. In good form in the main this year; runner-up last two starts; prominent in calculations.
3	3 (3) (8/1 +0%) Giselles Defence	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Giselles Defence 8/1, Three-time winner for this yard this season, the latest coming at Newbury (10f) in July. Hasn't been scaling same heights in pair of starts since, only fifth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good) 37 days ago. Conditions will hold no fears at least. Three 1m2f wins (the first on soft) before last at Windsor and below-form fifth at Epsom.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +0%) Tribal Wisdom	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Tribal Wisdom 12/1, Back-to-back winner of all-weather handicaps earlier this year. Essentially held form well on turf in recent months, fourth of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Newmarket (10f, good) 47 days ago. Hood back on and his mark has eased a little. 2nd twice this summer; however, below form both runs on soft (2023) and unraced on heavy.
8	8 (8) (14/1 -17%) Chilled Out	14 14/1(-17%)	(8) Chilled Out 14/1, Won first 2 starts for this yard at Yarmouth/Ripon back in May but hasn't been able to land a telling blow since, struggling some way out in refitted tongue tie when fifth of 8 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, soft) 18 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Won on good to soft and soft in May but the mostly lesser displays since are a concern.
6	6 (6) (16/1 +11%) Obsidian Knight	16 16/1(+11%)	(6) Obsidian Knight 16/1, All 4 career victories gained on all weather, the latest at Chelmsford (10f) in April. Efforts have been mixed on AW/turf since, seventh of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good, 22/1) 16 days ago. Others stronger for win purposes. 0-11 in turf and unraced on worse than good to soft; little impact since his win in April.

Elladonna and Prometeo have both been in good form recently and, if handling conditions, it is hard to envisage either being too far away. However, AMANCIO is already proven in the mud and the Sixties Icon gelding is preferred. Raised 1lb having finished a valiant second at Sandown last time, Rose Dawes takes 5lb off his back and compensation could await.

A dual winner earlier this term (including over C&D) ELLADONNA wasn't seen to anything like best effect in her hat-trick bid having not been ideally placed at Haydock 4 weeks ago. Well worth another chance to get back on the up with a hood refitted, James Fanshawe's filly looks to have plenty going for her again partnered by William Buick. Prometeo is going the right way and feared, along with Amancio and Ardbraccan.

With Prometeo not having proved himself on soft ground, it may prove best to concentrate on Ardbraccan and AMANCIO.

The Joseph O'Brien-trained RADAR AHEAD can strike at the third time of asking. A strong finishing third having missed the break on her debut at Ballinrobe in June, the daughter of Postponed ran a big race when runner-up in stronger company at Galway last time. With the benefit of those experiences, the three-year-old should be able to make the breakthrough. Mythical Rock, who has finished second on his latest two outings, is unlikely to be far away. Trainer Alan McIntyre has his string in excellent form at present. Emma Calve should appreciate stepping up in trip here having caught the eye with her finishing effort at Navan on debut. Although a more galloping track may suit better, the well-bred filly has to be of interest.

RADAR AHEAD stepped up on her debut when second at Galway last time, doing some good late work. She's likely to do better again and makes most appeal for all that the likes of Young Churchill and Mythical Rock are closely matched with her at the weights.

The most obvious one is RADAR AHEAD; the form of her Galway second was boosted by the winner at Listowel and she should be thereabouts

Seven-time Catterick scorer THE DANCING POET looked better than ever when scoring over 1m6f here last month and this return to 1m4f holds no fear. Brian Ellison's charge scored with something in hand and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Fellow last-time-out winner Bulldog Spirit isn't taken lightly in his current mood and is noted along with Croeso Cymraeg, who won't mind any rainfall.

BITTALEMON upped her game in first-time blinkers at Epsom and handled the soft ground well, so she makes most appeal in the hope that she can do better still. The Dancing Poet enhanced an excellent track record when scoring last month, so he's a big danger, while Bulldog Spirit is worthy of respect.

The most glaring candidate has to be The Dancing Poet with his superior course record but SOLAR BENTLEY is also interesting.

That leaves her with a bit to prove for the time being. Low-key seasonal return at Newmarket six weeks ago; best watched after that.
6	6 (6) (33/1 -32%) Respectful	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) Respectful 33/1, Big prices and down the field on both outings for this stable but the booking of Oisin Murphy takes the eye. Also wears first-time cheekpieces. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Struggled so far this year but there are grounds for expecting better this time.
9	9 (9) (40/1 -300%) Dion Baker	40 40/1(-300%)	(9) Dion Baker 40/1, Three wins from 20 runs this year. 7/2, good second of 7 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Stall 13 could be tricky for one who tends to race prominently. Having a good year but form needs to move to a new level for him to win this from stall 13.
8	8 (8) (50/1 -52%) Expert Agent	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) Expert Agent 50/1, Course winner. Latest win at Windsor in July but down the field on all 3 outings since. Drawn widest. 6f win at Windsor in July; struggled since and now tries a new trip.
14	14 (14) (80/1 -60%) Blue Yonder	80 80/1(-60%)	(14) Blue Yonder 80/1, Latest win at Newbury in June. Blinkered first time, last of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good, 28/1) 11 days ago. Back down in trip. Not beaten a rival in last three starts; drops in trip with no headgear; opposable.

CHALK MOUNTAIN was a slightly unfortunate second to State Flag at Newbury in July, but Stuart Kittow's gelding gained his reward last month. On target at Southwell before going on to complete a double at Wolverhampton six days later, taking his all-weather record to four from 11, he can continue his progress from a favourable draw. Nine-year-old Crystal Casque has shown more positive signs of late and he can get into the shake-up, along with Dion Baker, who was narrowly denied at Brighton last time out.

CHALK MOUNTAIN is in the form of his life and might be able to defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Mick Appleby pair Bell Shot and Ayr Harbour have solid claims from handy draws, while State Flag is a 3-y-o who could have more to offer.

The lightly raced SEDGEMOOR (nap) is given another chance to confirm the impression he created at Haydock. Chalk Mountain is feared.

Unsuited by slowly-run race when seventh of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Newcastle (16.2f) 20 days ago. Visor back on but needs things to drop right. Scored at Ayr in June and largely in good form since; possibilities with visor now fitted.

Still to register a victory but he arrives in good nick; shortlisted off the same mark.

RORY THE CAT didn't appear to see out 2m2f here in the Portobello Cup last time but Lucinda Russell's charge, a C&D winner on his penultimate outing, can bounce back over this shorter trip. Bamboo Bay was on target at Redcar last month and is of obvious interest raised 3lb in the handicap. Reel Her In made a promising start for Ben Haslam at Newcastle and it would come as no surprise were she to take a step forward.

REEL HER IN showed promise on her stable debut when a staying-on fifth at Newcastle 20 days ago and, with more still to offer in handicaps on the Flat, she could be ready to get off the mark. Bamboo Bay has been going through a good spell and is feared most after his Redcar win, with Rory The Cat also considered.

Ben Haslam's ex-Irish recruit REEL HER IN (nap) shaped well when fifth at Newcastle last time out and can build on and get off the mark.

Matched previous best when winning 15-runner novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (25f, good, 6/4) 40 days ago. Successful sole start in points earlier in his career and appeals as the type who will make his mark now switched to larger obstacles. Won a maiden hurdle last time, makes chase debut, stamina assured, leading contender.

Wasn't disgraced but turned in rather a lacklustre display when fourth of 8 in beginners chase at Killarney (23.4f, soft, 3/1) 6 weeks ago. Refitting of blinkers may put an extra edge on him. This test could really suit, may reverse Killarney form with Nt Field Minnesota, chance.
2	2 (2) (9/2 -50%) El Champo	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(2) El Champo 9/2, Fairly useful chaser. Continued run of good form when second of 14 in novice chase (15/8) at Kilbeggan (20.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago.

Pulled up in novice chase (20/1) at Listowel (19.4f, soft) 7 days ago, losing touch back straight. Needs to leave that in her wake turned out quickly. Had Stuzzikini behind when winning at Killarney, trip-ground excuses latest, chance.

Point-to-point winner NATIVE SPEAKER can make a winning debut over regulation fences. A strong stayer over hurdles, the Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding opened his account when making all at Kilbeggan in August. As the only confirmed front-runner of the quartet, the Court Cave gelding will be dangerous if afforded an easy lead. Nt Field Minnesota has failed to complete on two of her last three runs. However, the Willie Mullins-trained mare had looked smart when winning at Killarney in between. A reproduction of that effort would give her a chance here under Paul Townend. Stuzzikini, who was the best of these over hurdles, has to enter calculations. Although behind Nt Field Minnesota at Killarney, he is better off at the weights now.

Recent hurdles winner NATIVE SPEAKER has the hallmarks of one who'll make his mark in this sphere (previous point winner) and Henry de Bromhead's charge could be the way to go before the benefit of market clues. Stuzzikini may emerge as the chief threat ahead of El Champo.

Preference is for STUZZIKINI. This test could really suit him and he can turn his Killarney form with Nt Field Minnesota around.

5	5 (5) (11/4 -10%) Terries Royale	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(5) Terries Royale 11/4, Off the mark in amateur riders' handicap at Ascot last month and having comfortably gone like best horse at the weights when second in Leger Legends race at Doncaster (1m) next time, he resumed winning ways at Newmarket (8f, heavy) last week. Taking his racing well so considered under a penalty. 6lb higher than latest but this progressive 4yo (1m on soft recently) should go well again.
10	10 (10) (6/1 +8%) Questionable	6 6/1(+8%)	(10) Questionable 6/1, Had been knocking on the door and finally off the mark in 9-runner handicap at Sandown (10f, good) a fortnight ago, leading over 1f out having settled better under a more restrained ride than usual. 7 lb rise to contend with but booking of Buick certainly catches the eye. New waiting tactics and improved form to break duck two weeks ago at Sandown (1m2f, good).
3	3 (3) (7/1 -17%) Hat Toss	7 7/1(-17%)	(3) Hat Toss 7/1, Both wins have come at Sandown and ran at least as well in defeat from 4 lb higher when runner-up back there (7f, soft) 19 days ago, doing well under the circumstances given he came from even further back than the winner. Looks sure to go close again back up to 1m. Two good runs over 7f on soft this term, notably on latest start; also a 1m win on good.
9	9 (9) (10/1 +0%) Kynsa	10 10/1(+0%)	(9) Kynsa 10/1, Two 1m Kempton wins this summer and even better form when narrowly denied at Sandown (1m again) in August. Run of good form halted at Southwell last month (8.1f) so percentage call is probably to look elsewhere. Has done well with cheekpieces; close up on soft and heavy last term; each-way contender.
14	14 (14) (12/1 -9%) Adelabella	12 12/1(-9%)	(14) Adelabella 12/1, Opened her account over C&D in August before following up 16 days later at Newmarket. Unable to find further progress on both subsequent outings but she's worth a second look with a talented apprentice taking off a valuable 3 lb. Unraced on worse than good to soft; won twice in August but may need to resume improvement.
1	1 (1) (12/1 +14%) Valkyrian	12 12/1(+14%)	(1) Valkyrian 12/1, Has taken her form up a notch this year, registering a third victory of the campaign at Chepstow in August. Good second at Southwell early last month and ran respectably 3 days later in a deeper race when fourth at Kempton (1m) 25 days ago, albeit better placed than most. Excellent sequence before brought out quickly for her respectable fourth on latest outing.
6	6 (6) (14/1 -27%) Ziggy's Phoenix	14 14/1(-27%)	(6) Ziggy's Phoenix 14/1, Caused a 66/1 shock at Newmarket in May and arguably surpassed that performance when accounting for 7 rivals in a Goodwood handicap in August. Ran about as well in defeat from 4 lb higher when third of 6 at Ascot (1m, good to soft) last month but this much tougher. Acts on soft; two 1m wins this term; ran well latest outing but needs to find extra again.
7	7 (7) (14/1 +13%) Powdering	14 14/1(+13%)	(7) Powdering 14/1, Won 4 times in the spring and having rather lost her way since, returned to form when third of 9 at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) last week. That was a class 4 event, however, so a career-best would be needed if she's to add to her tally. Hat-trick in May, peak form on soft (unraced on heavy); near that form last Tuesday.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +13%) Law Supreme	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) Law Supreme 14/1, Opened his account for current connections at Bath in April and returned to form when second of 8 at Windsor (8.1f, soft) in August. Not so good at Ascot (8f, good to soft) since though, so needs to get back on track. Unraced on heavy but won on soft in April and good 2nd on it (again 1m) penultimate outing.
11	11 (11) (16/1 -14%) Mysteryofthesands	16 16/1(-14%)	(11) Mysteryofthesands 16/1, Opened his account at Hamilton in July and similar form when third of 13 i at Haydock (8.2f, good) last month, clear of rest. Did enough to suggest he probably remained in form when seventh at Ayr (8f, good to firm) just under 2 weeks ago and not without each-way hope. Won in June but mostly below form since; placed on soft and heavy in the spring.
4	4 (4) (16/1 +0%) Baltimore Boy	16 16/1(+0%)	(4) Baltimore Boy 16/1, Shaped well (had to make his move away from the main action) when close fifth at Ascot in July and best not judged on his Kempton (1m) effort 7 weeks ago, left poorly placed. Visor back on and makes each-way appeal from a career-low mark. No win since last August and inconsistent form this term; return of visor might help.
12	12 (12) (16/1 +0%) Fools Rush In	16 16/1(+0%)	(12) Fools Rush In 16/1, Perked up by a change of headgear and ended long losing run in 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month. Shaped as if still in good form back on turf when sixth of 8 at Newmarket (9f, good) 11 days ago and remains with plenty of handicapping scope on old form. Way down weights to break a two-year losing run last month (8.6f, AW) on penultimate start.
2	2 (2) (16/1 +20%) Barley	16 16/1(+20%)	(2) Barley 16/1, Previous C&D winner who ended a long losing sequence at Carlisle in June. In mostly good order since, though unable to get competitive back up in trip at Ayr (10f, good to firm) just under 2 weeks ago. Others preferred for win purposes. Ran respectably in May on soft; good sequence on good and good to firm this summer.
13	13 (13) (25/1 -56%) Dream Pirate	25 25/1(-56%)	(13) Dream Pirate 25/1, Has held his form well over the summer but needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Kempton (1m) 7 weeks ago. Handicapper given him a squeak back on turf (now 1 lb below last winning mark). Won twice over 1m on soft last autumn; plenty of respectable shows this season.
15	15 (15) (25/1 +0%) Love Your Work	25 25/1(+0%)	(15) Love Your Work 25/1, Won twice in the space of 24 hours back in June but found out in better races subsequently. Latest effort easy to put a line through (probably found race coming too soon) but not one to be going overboard about in such a competitive race. Encouraging penultimate start; acts on heavy; needs to put his latest start way behind him.

The vote goes to TERRIES ROYALE, whose performances have taken off since getting some cut in the ground. Mick Appleby's four-year-old was a comfortable victor at Newmarket last Thursday and, though the penalty will make life tougher, he's unlikely to have reached the ceiling of his ability yet. Ziggy's Phoenix finished a creditable third at Ascot last time out and she ought to be thereabouts, while others to note include Hat Toss, Fools Rush In and Adelabella.

Plenty in with a squeak but the suggestion is HAT TOSS, who arrives at the top of his game and can have his latest effort marked up given he came from even further back than the winner. Back up in trip, he can notch career victory number 3 at the expense of Terries Royale, who made it 2 wins from his last 3 starts at Newmarket last week and carries a penalty here. Questionable, Mysteryofthesands and Adelabella can fight out minor honours.

On a roll and having demonstrated his proficiency over 1m on soft, TERRIES ROYALE may win again, from Kynsa and Questionable.

A consistent filly since joining the Willie McCreery stable, KEILAH can gain a second career win. Held up off the pace when opening her account at Punchestown last month, the four-year-old just failed to double up under similar tactics at Navan last time. From a wide draw, Billy Lee is likely to drop the daughter of Harzand out before coming with a late run. Stepping back up to this trip should suit. Arch Enemy, who has gone close on a couple of occasions this season, has to be of interest with her capable apprentice taking off 10lb here. Patrick Street finished a creditable third at Galway last month and a similar level of performance would bring him into the reckoning.

KEILAH is in top form and can resume winning ways if getting the longer trip. Arch Enemy and Black Soul are a couple of others to consider.

WISDOMOFHINDSIGHT didn't see out 2m2f at Down Royal last time but he previously went close and he can resume progress down in trip

Enhanced his excellent AW record when defying a mark of 106 at Wolverhampton (6f) at the beginning of August and he's the one to beat under Oisin Murphy. Smart sprinter on AW and getting better all the time; bold bid likely despite a penalty.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +0%) Night Raider	4 4/1(+0%)	(6) Night Raider 4/1, Impressive winner over 7f at Southwell on first 2 starts. Has come up short in good company on turf since but he did show up well for a long way back from wind surgery at Newmarket (6f) at the end of August and no shock were he to resume his progression back on AW. Two wide-margin AW wins in December/March; struggled in good races since; unexposed on AW.
8	8 (8) (11/2 +61%) Gutsy Girl	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(8) Gutsy Girl 11/2, Useful effort when winning a C&D handicap in July. Runner-up at the York Ebor meeting next time but a step up to listed company too much at Ayr 12 days ago. Has a bit to find on these terms. Impressed over C&D in July; two solid runs have followed; could outrun her weights chance.
7	7 (7) (17/2 -113%) Kinta	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(7) Kinta 17/2, Useful C&D winner. 17/2 and tongue strap on first time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) in March. Should go well if ready to roll after 7 months off. Yet to run a poor race on AW but she's back from seven months off.
5	5 (5) (11/1 +45%) Zero Carbon	11 11/1(+45%)	(5) Zero Carbon 11/1, Useful sort who operates very well around here, taking his course record to 4-8 when making all in 7f handicap last time. Looks to be biting off more than he can chew against these smart rivals, though. Four course wins but all at 7f; still improving but he's in deeper today.

Smart in his youth but current ability not easy to gauge; opposable on AW debut.

Equilateral has failed to reach the heights of previous years this season, but he could have a say if running to the level of his third at Sandown on his penultimate start. However, WILLEM TWEE looks the way to go. James Fanshawe's five-year-old struck by the smallest of margins at Wolverhampton in August and he sets a high standard with a rating of 108. Juan Les Pins is the pick of the remainder.

A smart conditions race in which WILLEM TWEE can land another AW win. In receipt of 9 lb Kinta could give the selection a run for his money if fully primed after 7 months off. Another interesting contender is Karl Burke 3-y-o Night Raider, who took a step back in the right direction at Newmarket last time and looked really promising when winning twice on AW by a combined 14 lengths at the start of his career.

Most have some sort of question mark lingering over them but not so for WILLEM TWEE and he can give the weight away.

5	5 (5) (11/4 +45%) Eben Zaabeel	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(5) Eben Zaabeel 11/4, Fairly useful maiden. 5/2, respectable second of 14 in novice at Southwell (1½m) 29 days ago. Makes polytrack debut.

4	4 (4) (7/2 +13%) Heat Of Passion	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(4) Heat Of Passion 7/2, Made a winning handicap debut over 11f at Southwell in July. Might have found the run coming too soon when only fifth of 6 at Chelmsford 8 days later. Freshened up since and remains unexposed.

7	7 (7) (4/1 +0%) Expected Arrival	4 4/1(+0%)	(7) Expected Arrival 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (11/2) at Haydock (1¼m, good to firm) 53 days ago, kept up to work. Respected as an unexposed 3-y-o.

1	1 (1) (6/1 -33%) Liseo	6 6/1(-33%)	(1) Liseo 6/1, C&D winner. 18/1, creditable fourth of 13 in C&D handicap last Wednesday. One to consider at a venue which suits. Last two wins have been over C&D and he was a creditable fourth here latest; dangerous.
13	13 (13) (9/1 +0%) Rockit Tommy	9 9/1(+0%)	(13) Rockit Tommy 9/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Bath 28 days ago. Back down in trip. Another who could have a say. Reached the frame in his last two handicaps but he needs to find more back at this trip.

Even longer trip now isn't certain to help. Well held in all five runs this season and has plenty to prove at this new trip.
11	11 (11) (33/1 -230%) Orchestra	33 33/1(-230%)	(11) Orchestra 33/1, Fair maiden hurdler for this yard in the first half of the year.

9	9 (9) (100/1 -203%) Sixfiveseven	100 100/1(-203%)	(9) Sixfiveseven 100/1, Placed twice in France but well held in completed start over hurdles in Britain and beaten 13 lengths back on the Flat at Salisbury last month, albeit it was a useful novice. Makes handicap and AW debut with a tongue tie added. Five-race maiden who needs a transformation with tongue-tie tried on handicap debut.
12	12 (12) (100/1 -100%) Cresta Cat	100 100/1(-100%)	(12) Cresta Cat 100/1, 66/1, first run since leaving Andy Irvine when last of 13 in handicap at this course (7f) 16 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Worth a second look in the betting. Seven-race maiden and he needs a major turnaround back up in trip.

Best watched on comeback unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Returns to the Flat after a long absence and has something to prove on Polytrack debut.

PARRAMOUNT had Rockit Tommy (fourth) behind when being denied by a length into second over 1m4f here two starts ago and produced another good effort to make the frame in this grade at Epsom last time. Charlie Longsdon's eight-year-old ought to go close if he can back those efforts up with Hollie Doyle back on board. Eben Zaabeel finished a length and a quarter in front of King's Reign (third) at Southwell last time, who went on to defy an opening mark of 77 at Pontefract next time. That effort gives him a big chance back in handicap company.

A competitive handicap in which another chance is given to Sir Mark Prescott's HEAT OF PASSION back from a short break. Fellow 3-y-o filly Expected Arrival is respected on the back of her Haydock success. Liseo's solid Kempton record has to bring him into the reckoning, while Fergal O'Brien's Orchestra is also of some interest back on the Flat with Tom Marquand booked.

A competitive race in which the vote goes to the unexposed EXPECTED ARRIVAL, who won at Haydock in August and is open to more progress.

11	11 (11) (5/1 -11%) Highland Spring	5 5/1(-11%)	(11) Highland Spring 5/1, Blinkered for first time, career best when winning 11-runner handicap (14/1) at this C&D 49 days ago, overcoming positional bias. Has to be taken seriously with 3 lb rise almost certainly underestimating him. Off the mark (seventh attempt) over C&D last time and that form has worked out; respected.
3	3 (3) (6/1 +33%) Al Rufaa	6 6/1(+33%)	(3) Al Rufaa 6/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Shaped better than the result when eighth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good, 12/1) 25 days ago, denied a clear run on more than one occasion. Disappointing at Haydock latest but was knocking on the door on AW before that; in the mix.
1	1 (1) (15/2 +6%) Hickory	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(1) Hickory 15/2, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 17/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 41 days ago, having hopeless task from position. That run is therefore easy to excuse and he's down in class here Looks worth a try at this new trip and he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade.
9	9 (9) (8/1 +27%) Native King	8 8/1(+27%)	(9) Native King 8/1, Successful handicap/stable debut at Chester in June. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (2/1) at Haydock (8.2f, good) 25 days ago, running on. Makes polytrack debut and he's in better heart than his form figures suggest. Hasn't gone on since his Chester win in June and has bit to prove on Polytrack debut.
12	12 (12) (8/1 -45%) Classic Encounter	8 8/1(-45%)	(12) Classic Encounter 8/1, First run since leaving Charlie Appleby and shaped with a good deal of promise when good fifth of 10 in novice at Newcastle (8f) 22 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Makes handicap debut from a very fair mark so he's shortlisted. Unexposed 3yo who has shown clear promise and he needs a close look on handicap debut.
8	8 (8) (17/2 -42%) Kalamunda	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(8) Kalamunda 17/2, C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 8/13, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 22 days ago, always holding on. Up 5 lb and stall 14 isn't ideal but he's unbeaten on the AW. Made it 4-4 on AW when winning at Lingfield last time; big player again in hat-trick bid.
6	6 (6) (9/1 +36%) Jungle Mac	9 9/1(+36%)	(6) Jungle Mac 9/1, Breakthrough handicap win on first start against his elders at Newmarket in July. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (8/1) at Goodwood (8f, good to firm) 62 days ago, going off too hard and weakening when badly hampered late on. Had a blip at Glorious Goodwood latest but he's generally reliable and could rebound.
4	4 (4) (11/1 +67%) Endless Power	11 11/1(+67%)	(4) Endless Power 11/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in March. 28/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D 42 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Won two in a row on Tapeta in the spring but he's finished in rear in last three runs.
5	5 (5) (11/1 -38%) The Ice Phoenix	11 11/1(-38%)	(5) The Ice Phoenix 11/1, 11/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 29 days ago, driven clear. Didn't look totally straightforward in the process and positive tactics are going to be hard to execute from stall 13. Made it 2-4 on AW when scoring at Southwell last time; big player again up 3lb.
7	7 (7) (16/1 +27%) Newsreader	16 16/1(+27%)	(7) Newsreader 16/1, Back-to-back novice winner over 7f this winter. 25/1, last of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Up in trip and return to the AW will help. 2-3 at this track but he's been disappointing in both handicaps and has something to prove.
2	2 (2) (16/1 -167%) Rowayeh	16 16/1(-167%)	(2) Rowayeh 16/1, Sent off 5/2 but wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 6 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, left poorly placed as the race unfolded. Eased 1 lb but stall 12 may present a problem. Should get a decent tow into the race and has claims if she gets some luck.
13	13 (13) (22/1 +0%) Island Bandit	22 22/1(+0%)	(13) Island Bandit 22/1, Back down to last winning mark and best effort this term when seventh of 14 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm) 34 days ago.

14	14 (14) (22/1 -144%) Appeal To Glory	22 22/1(-144%)	(14) Appeal To Glory 22/1, Left qualifying form behind when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D 16 days ago. Open to further improvement so he demands respect. Won on handicap debut over C&D 16 days ago; up 3lb but he should have more to offer.
10	10 (10) (50/1 -127%) Double Time	50 50/1(-127%)	(10) Double Time 50/1, Quirky sort. C&D winner. Latest win at Goodwood in June. Below form fourth of 13 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to soft, 9/1) 26 days ago. Well held in last three starts and needs to rediscover his spark back on AW.

Kalamunda boasts an unbeaten record on the all-weather and he would be dangerous to dismiss off 5lb higher than his latest victory at Lingfield. However, this represents a step up in grade and, with that in mind, the vote goes to THE ICE PHOENIX. Charles Hills' three-year-old struck in commanding fashion at this level at Southwell on his most recent outing and he might be capable of defying a 3lb rise. Highland Spring completes the shortlist.

Blinkers clearly did plenty for HGHLAND SPRING given he took his form to a new level when successful over C&D a month ago, value for extra in the process. From a handy stall, he's taken to follow up, for all there's plenty of depth to this, with fellow 3-y-os Appeal To Glory and Classic Encounter feared most.

Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to KALAMUNDA, who made it 4-4 on AW when completing a double at Lingfield last time.

Of interest up 3 lb back on this surface. Taking performance at Haydock last month and a 3lb rise isn't excessive; contender.
11	11 (11) (9/2 +0%) Devoirs Choice	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(11) Devoirs Choice 9/2, Resumed progress when off the mark at Redcar (1m) and took another sizeable step forward when following up in 14-runner handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm, 6/1) 34 days ago. Displayed a good attitude then and respected nudged up just 2 lb. 2-2 since returning to a mile; still feasibly weighted; effective on AW; one to consider.
4	4 (4) (11/2 -10%) Havanagreattime	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(4) Havanagreattime 11/2, Lightly-raced 3-y-o who posted his best effort yet when making a winning return from the front over 7f here in March, quickening over 1f out and always holding on. Absent again since but he's unexposed on all-weather/at 1m and he could yet have more to offer. Game 7f win here in March; a mile should suit but he has another absence to contend with.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +46%) Rhythm N Rock	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(2) Rhythm N Rock 13/2, Losing run stretches back to 2022 but he returned from an absence in good order earlier this year, second of 12 in a C&D handicap in May. Not disgraced when midfield in London Mile Final on return 25 days ago and capable of playing his part from this mark. Conditions to suit and he comes here a fresh horse; shouldn't be far away.
10	10 (10) (15/2 +46%) Bluelight Bay	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(10) Bluelight Bay 15/2, Successful over 1m last summer but he's essentially been operating below his best this term, tenth of 14 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good, 12/1) 69 days ago. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Down in the weights but this season has been a struggle; others have less to prove.
5	5 (5) (11/1 +31%) King's Code	11 11/1(+31%)	(5) King's Code 11/1, Real success story for his yard, adding more wins at Southwell and over C&D at the start of the year. Has found things tougher in competitive handicaps on turf in recent months but he's eased in the weights as a result and he's one to keep an eye on returned to this surface. Gone quiet in recent starts but he's down in the weights and class as a result.
3	3 (3) (11/1 +45%) Helm Rock	11 11/1(+45%)	(3) Helm Rock 11/1, Useful performances when winning twice at this time last year, including over C&D. Proved more miss than hit in handful of starts since returning from a break in June though, never on terms when eighth in London Mile Final here last month.

Seen to advantage in dictating the pace then but well drawn to attack from the front again here. Mark unchanged. Conditions in his favour and he ran well in a stronger C&D handicap last time; chance.
9	9 (9) (20/1 -122%) Monte Linas	20 20/1(-122%)	(9) Monte Linas 20/1, Stepped up on his reappearance run when second at Beverley last month and easy to ignore his latest Pontefract effort, coming with a run when badly hampered on inner final 1f. Not surprise to see him give a good account. Wasn't out of it when badly hampered in the final furlong latest; dropped 1lb; chance.
13	13 (13) (22/1 -57%) Lessay	22 22/1(-57%)	(13) Lessay 22/1, Winner on debut here (7f) in December and lines up here having largely run respectably whilst looking summed up by his mark in handicaps in recent months. Disappointing effort in refitted hood when sixth of 7 in handicap at Ascot (7f) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for. Struggled on turf this summer; hopes pinned on cheekpieces/return to AW sparking a revival.
6	6 (6) (25/1 -257%) Love Billy Boy	25 25/1(-257%)	(6) Love Billy Boy 25/1, Doubled career tally at Chester (7.6f) in June and left a couple of lesser efforts in his wake when making the frame on each of his last 2 starts in refitted blinkers, latterly when third back at Chester (7f, heavy) 19 days ago. Another who is unexposed on all weather. Several good runs, including 7.5f Chester win, this year; others appeal more all the same.
14	14 (14) (28/1 -40%) Aljezur	28 28/1(-40%)	(14) Aljezur 28/1, Still a maiden but he ran respectably with cheekpieces enlisted in pair of 7f handicaps here prior to a lesser run when seventh of 8 in handicap at Newbury (1m, soft) 11 days ago, the ground a plausible excuse. However, he still needs to prove himself at this trip. Hasn't lived up to his billing in handicaps this season; ground excuse latest; opposable.
12	12 (12) (33/1 -32%) Golden Sands	33 33/1(-32%)	(12) Golden Sands 33/1, C&D winner who proved too free and never figured first 2 starts back this summer (reportedly bled latterly). May of needed first start for 2 months when seventh of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (1m) 13 days ago but others come here with stronger claims in any case. Well drawn for a front-runner and there were more encouraging signs last month.

Having scored a shade cosily on his handicap bow over 7f here in March, the returning HAVANAGREATTIME makes plenty of appeal off just 4lb higher. This step up to a mile is likely to suit Richard Hughes' colt and he's taken to make a winning reappearance. Better is expected from the downgraded Rhythm N Rock, who wasn't disgraced when finishing seventh in a competitive class 2 event over C&D last month. The six-year-old is feared most, ahead of the hat-trick seeking Devoirs Choice.

NAP HAND confirmed the promise of his previous effort here in no uncertain terms when resuming winning ways at Haydock 25 days ago, seeing off a pair of progressive 3-y-os in the process. He makes plenty of appeal nudged up 3 lb and earns the vote ahead of the hat-trick seeking Devoirs Choice, who comes here firmly on the up himself. King's Code, from a very attractive mark and low-mileage Havanagreattime complete the shortlist.

Devoirs Choice is thriving back at a mile but NAP HAND won well at Haydock and may have his measure today.

Stable debutant Imola returned to form in first-time blinkers when a respectable second at Chepstow last month and a return to this track and trip shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. However, a wide draw and lack of headgear may prove her undoing and preference is for CUBAN HARRY. Ed Dunlop's gelding showed that he is still in good heart when posting a solid fourth at Wolverhampton nine days ago and today's plum draw could see him back in the winner's enclosure. Windsor Pass and Marchetti are also worth a second look.

WINDSOR PASS has been shaping up well from her falling mark, again making the frame at Newcastle last time despite having been left poorly placed, so she is taken to open her account as she drops in grade. Cuban Harry also arrives in good heart and could be the main danger, ahead of Marchetti.

The mare MARCHETTI appeals most, at the foot of the handicap, after finishing second on her last three starts. Imola is second best.

7	7 (7) (7/1 +22%) Willowbank	7 7/1(+22%)	(7) Willowbank 7/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 5/1) 45 days ago. Latest effort best excused but a wide draw is far from ideal. Inconsistent ten-race maiden who was in rear at Southwell latest; others preferred.
2	2 (2) (17/2 -21%) Queen Jean	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(2) Queen Jean 17/2, Last of 5 in handicap (2/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Perhaps unsuited by the track there and she'd shaped well at Lingfield on her previous outing. Six-race maiden who has not progressed so far and she needs improvement back in trip.
10	10 (10) (11/1 +45%) Flagman	11 11/1(+45%)	(10) Flagman 11/1, C&D winner. 25/1 and visored for 1st time, tenth of 15 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 18 days ago. C&D winner but he's been well held in his three runs this season; needs to raise his game.
1	1 (1) (16/1 -60%) Apple A Dey	16 16/1(-60%)	(1) Apple A Dey 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should strip fitter for that and could benefit from return to polytrack. Lightly raced 4yo but she made a low-key start in handicaps at Windsor last month.
6	6 (6) (18/1 -260%) Midnight Flame	18 18/1(-260%)	(6) Midnight Flame 18/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good second of 15 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 22/1) 18 days ago. Should remain competitive. 0-25 but she went close in first-time cheekpieces at Bath latest; respected back on AW.
9	9 (9) (25/1 -108%) Family Matters	25 25/1(-108%)	(9) Family Matters 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, sixth of 11 in novice at this C&D 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Unexposed 3yo and she's a possible improver on handicap debut; watch the market.
11	11 (11) (33/1 -175%) Don't Fight It	33 33/1(-175%)	(11) Don't Fight It 33/1, 11/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. 40-1 second at Lingfield but she failed to back that up at Chelmsford; blinkers now tried.
5	5 (5) (33/1 -136%) Marinakis	33 33/1(-136%)	(5) Marinakis 33/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW), slowly away. Off 180 days. Hard to make a case for. Well held in all seven runs and has plenty to prove after another break.
12	12 (12) (33/1 -32%) Classy Hopes	33 33/1(-32%)	(12) Classy Hopes 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in minor event (66/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Makes handicap debut. In rear in all five runs and needs a transformation on handicap debut; new headgear.

Although LEWIS BARNES was a little underwhelming when only fifth at Chelmsford four days ago, he still looks capable of landing a race of this nature judged on his penultimate close-up second at that same venue. The five-year-old will need to break out better in today's contest, but he's worth persevering with. The application of first-time cheekpieces appeared to unlock some hidden potential in recent Bath runner-up Midnight Flame and the Joe Ponting-trained filly is feared most, ahead of C&D winner Oriental Spirit.

APPLE A DEY ran well in a maiden here in February and shaped as if in need of the run in a handicap at Windsor on her only subsequent outing 16 days ago. Likely to be better for that, she's worth taking a chance on returning to AW with few miles on the clock. Queen Jean and Lewis Barnes can both make their presence felt if able to bounce back from lesser efforts.

Preference is for LEWIS BARNES, who had a near-miss at Chemsford on his penultimate run. Midnight Flame is feared most.

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.
