Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (15/2 +53%) Photosynthesis	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(6) Photosynthesis 15/2, 100/1, twelfth of 23 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) on debut 45 days ago. May well do better. Showed speed before weakening on debut over 6f; should be better suited to this trip.
2	15 2nd (15) (13/8 +14%) Annie Edson Taylor	1.625 13/8(+14%)	(15) Annie Edson Taylor 13/8, Promising sort. 11/1, third of 8 in maiden at this C&D (good to soft) on debut 32 days ago, missing break. Open to lots of progress so she looks the one to beat. Cracking effort on debut over C&D a month ago; should be much sharper today, so a player.
3	17 3rd (17) (17/2 +58%) Madame Plaintiff	8.5 17/2(+58%)	(17) Madame Plaintiff 17/2, Twice-raced filly. 28/1, seventh of 13 in maiden at Tipperary (7.5f, good to soft) 31 days ago, met some trouble. Down in trip. Showed speed before weakening over 7f both starts; could do better dropped to this trip.
4	7 4th (7) (9/1 +25%) Limoncello Lady	9 9/1(+25%)	(7) Limoncello Lady 9/1, 25/1, eleventh of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) on debut 69 days ago. Should have more to offer. Soundly beaten on debut over 7f in July; can improve from that and get closer down in trip.
5th	13 5th (13) (15/2 +46%) More Profit	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(13) More Profit 15/2, Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 10 in maiden at Punchestown (7f, good to soft, 50/1) 21 days ago. Similar efforts in defeat in maidens over 6f and 7f; this trip could suit better.
6th	4 6th (4) (200/1 -100%) Highland Bells	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Highland Bells 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. 200/1, seventh of 9 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good) 48 days ago. Down in trip. Soundly beaten in two starts over 1m; will likely be better suited to handicaps.

Sister to 1¼m winner Any Other News and half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Pat Mustard and 2-y-o 6f winner Rock Inthefog. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 1m. Cost only 5,000euros as a foal; second runner for yard; worth a market check.
8th	18 8th (18) (150/1 -50%) Zippy Rocket	150 150/1(-50%)	(18) Zippy Rocket 150/1, Thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (6f, 80/1) on debut 12 days ago. Never involved on Dundalk debut and looks the stable third-string.
9th	1 9th (1) (15/2 -173%) Southbank	7.5 15/2(-173%)	(1) Southbank 15/2, Foaled March 11. 100,000 gns foal, €190,000 yearling, Acclamation colt. Dam 6f-1m (Park Express Stakes) winner from a very good family. Interesting newcomer. Wears tongue strap. Fifth in a Dundalk Barrier Trial a month ago; tongue-tie for debut; follow market vibes.
10th	14 10th (14) (66/1 -371%) Poppy Pimento	66 66/1(-371%)	(14) Poppy Pimento 66/1, Foaled May 4. Dandy Man filly. Dam 6f/7f winner. Trainer going well. Homebred was retained by vendor for 9,000euros as a yearling; worth a market check.
11th	11 11th (11) (150/1 -50%) Our Dagger	150 150/1(-50%)	(11) Our Dagger 150/1, 150/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft) on debut 11 days ago, missing break. Beaten 16l on recent debut and loads of improvement needed.
12th	16 12th (16) (200/1 -33%) Are You In Or Out	200 200/1(-33%)	(16) Are You In Or Out 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 125/1, last of 10 in maiden at Down Royal (7f, soft) 9 days ago. Beaten a long way in two starts and can't be fancied.
13th	19 13th (19) (14/1 -75%) Ally Pally	14 14/1(-75%)	(19) Ally Pally 14/1, Fifth of 6 in maiden (9/2) at Dundalk (5f) on debut, slowly away. Off 176 days. Should improve. Some speed on debut over this trip at Dundalk in April; concern has been off for so long.
14th	5 14th (5) (6/1 +40%) Jacks Inn	6 6/1(+40%)	(5) Jacks Inn 6/1, Sixth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (6f, 13/2) on debut 12 days ago, doing too much too soon. Open to improvement. Won a Barrier Trial at Dundalk and showed some ability there on debut; ground a question.
15th	9 15th (9) (18/1 -13%) Babyface	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) Babyface 18/1, Foaled February 20. Kuroshio colt. Dam 5f/6f winner. Homebred by a decent sire is worth a market check for leading local yard.
16th	2 16th (2) (66/1 -100%) Pomham Rocks	66 66/1(-100%)	(2) Pomham Rocks 66/1, Foaled March 8. €25,000 foal, Profitable gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Supaspecialawesome. Dam ran once in France. Unsold for only 4,500euros as a yearling; probably best watched.
17th	3 17th (3) (66/1 -100%) Rappell	66 66/1(-100%)	(3) Rappell 66/1, Foaled May 4. €23,000 foal, Soldier's Call gelding. Half-brother to 1m-1½m winner Villette and 7.5f winner Rozanne. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to useful 6f winner Midris. Is by a sire who has done with this first crop; worth a market check.
18th	12 18th (12) (150/1 -275%) Green Valentine	150 150/1(-275%)	(12) Green Valentine 150/1, Foaled April 27. Profitable filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m-1½m winner Gee Rex and 1¼m winner Carpendale. Dam 1m/8.5f winner. Retained by vendor for 3,000euros as a yearling; probably best watched.

LTO Selection:

ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR showed enough on her initial outing over course and distance last month to suggest she can go two places better. The Mayson filly was slowly away and held up in rear during the early stages, before making significant late ground once the penny dropped. Well drawn on her second racecourse appearance, the Kevin Coleman-trained juvenile looks the one to be with. Bruce Lightning hasn't progressed from a very pleasing introduction at Cork back in May but perhaps dropping down in trip will play to his strengths. A rating of 78 should be good enough to at least see him fight out the finish. Southbank, a debutant representing leading connections is the potential unknown quantity in the race. It will be interesting to see if any market support arrives for the Acclamation colt.

ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR clearly possesses her share of ability given she finished third on debut over C&D despite fluffing her lines at the start and on that evidence, she's capable of winning a maiden such as this. Newcomers are feared most, notably Southbank and Tiffany Mae.

ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR shaped like the best horse in the maiden she finished third in over C&D a month ago and can score.

14:05 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (11/2 +0%) Heritier	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(2) Heritier 11/2, Registered third chase win in 3-runner contest at Market Rasen in November. Ended season in tame fashion but a break will doubtless have done him some good. On a winning mark but absent since March and has yet to tackle this trip.
1	6 1st (6) (5/2 +55%) Sinister Minister	2.5 5/2(+55%)	(6) Sinister Minister 5/2, Has made a positive if slightly frustrating start to his chase career, placed for the fifth time at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago. Same mark here and he's likely to give it a good shot. Consistently placed over fences but career record is 0-17.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/3 +5%) Imac Wood	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(3) Imac Wood 10/3, Dual chase winner in France early last year. Not at that level for this yard though dropped a long way in the weights and he cashed in returned to fences at Worcester last month. Expected to give it another good go. Perked up by wind surgery and won at Worcester latest; 4lb rise might not stop him.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 -40%) Joly Maker	7 7/1(-40%)	(4) Joly Maker 7/1, Added to tally when a surprise winner back from 8 months off at Stratford in April. Into his shell since so others more persuasive despite falling mark. Unpredictable and hasn't been in top form but always liable to pop up.
4	1 4th (1) (5/2 -43%) Creative Control	2.5 5/2(-43%)	(1) Creative Control 5/2, Fit from a spin over hurdles and back to winning ways in 7-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago. Fortunate on that occasion given leader unseated late but he's up just 1 lb for that. Major player. Fortunate to win last month but only gone up 1lb; likely to make a bold bid.
5th	7 5th (7) (40/1 +39%) Dynali	40 40/1(+39%)	(7) Dynali 40/1, Modest maiden who has shaped with limited encouragement for current stable. Out of the weights returned to fences. Hasn't been in form over hurdles and unplaced in three chases a year ago.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (6/1 +29%) Bitasweetsymphony	6 6/1(+29%)	(5) Bitasweetsymphony 6/1, Now 3 lb below his last winning mark and easy to forgive heavy defeat at Huntingdon when last seen in March having all but come down at the first. Market may guide on reappearance. Absent since being pulled up in March; only win came over C&D.

LTO Selection:

Creative Control was possibly a fortuitous winner when being left in the lead two fences from home at Uttoxeter last month, but Donald McCain's gelding still merits respect now only 1lb higher. IMAC WOOD, however, makes slightly more appeal after finding some improvement when triumphing over 2m4f at Worcester in August. A 4lb rise looks more than fair and the five-year-old is fancied to enhance his fine strike-rate over fences (3-5). Sinister Minister may chase them home.

CREATIVE CONTROL was a fortunate winner at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago but the assessor has raised him just 1 lb as a result, so the follow-up may well be on the cards. Imac Wood also tasted success last time and is a danger, while Heritier is dangerous if fully tuned up for this return to action.

The 4lb rise for his Worcester win might well not stop IMAC WOOD (nap).

14:12 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (4/1 -33%) Our Golden One	4 4/1(-33%)	(5) Our Golden One 4/1, Half-sister to several winners, including smart 1m-1¼m winner Dark Orchid and useful 7f-1m winner Orchid Star, and made a highly promising start when third at Goodwood. Matched that form when second at Sandown, a neck ahead of Frankelian. Narrowly the form pick after twice finishing ahead of Frankelian over 1m on good ground.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 -35%) Beeley	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(1) Beeley 9/2, Foaled January 24. Camelot filly. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class 1¼m-15.5f winner Ask. Obvious appeal on paper given yard she represents. By Camelot; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to high-class middle-distance stayer Ask.
3	6 3rd (6) (3/1 +14%) Rolica	3 3/1(+14%)	(6) Rolica 3/1, Foaled February 11. 320,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega filly. Dam, 1m winner who stayed 1¾m, half-sister to useful 6f-7f winner Revolutionise (by Lope de Vega). Appealing newcomer. 320,000gns yearling with useful pedigree; stable had a 2yo newcomer win recently.
4	3 4th (3) (10/3 +52%) Eleftheria	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(3) Eleftheria 10/3, 40/1 and still looked a work-in-progress when fourth of 13 in maiden at Goodwood (7f, soft) 62 days ago, not knocked about. Should improve for 1m. Fair form over 6f (good) and 7f (soft) on last two starts; needs to build on that.
5th	2 5th (2) (50/1 +24%) Born A Rebel	50 50/1(+24%)	(2) Born A Rebel 50/1, Foaled April 2. Outstrip filly. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 7f De Bruyne Horse. By Outstrip; first foal; dam 1m AW winner (RPR 76), half-sister to useful 6f/7f winner.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/3 -33%) Frankelian	3.333333 10/3(-33%)	(4) Frankelian 10/3, Promising individual. Third of 7 in maiden (7/4) at Sandown (8f, good) 19 days ago, better placed than most. Likely to improve. Only just behind Our Golden One over 1m on good at Goodwood and Sandown.

LTO Selection:

Our Golden One had the measure of Frankelian when the pair met on their debuts. The former was able to confirm those placings at Sandown last time and she can do so once again, but preference is for ELEFTHERIA. The Mehmas filly should appreciate this step up in trip having kept on for fourth over 7f at Goodwood in August, and she looks versatile regarding the ground. The Gosden's juveniles have been coming to the boil in recent weeks, so Beeley is worth a market check.

ROLICA boasts a striking pedigree and has a sales price to match, so a winning debut would come as no surprise. Beeley is another very likely sort on paper, while Our Golden One and Frankelian are closely matched on their Sandown clash.

Frankelian has been beaten twice by OUR GOLDEN ONE and may be again today but the issue is not clearcut.

14:20 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 -50%) Woobay	3 3/1(-50%)	(1) Woobay 3/1, Good second of 12 in handicap (3/1) at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Has been knocking on the door and she's a big player at this level. Consistent; pleasing run at Hamilton (6f) last time; should be thereabouts if replicating..
2	3 2nd (3) (5/2 +50%) John Kirkup	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(3) John Kirkup 5/2, Twenty eight runs since last win in 2022. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 6/1) 5 days ago. Cut down late over C&D (good) in August; soft ground suits, so could feasibly have a say..
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -71%) Triple Jaye	12 12/1(-71%)	(5) Triple Jaye 12/1, Only really given her running once this term, tenth of 20 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago. This does represent a drop in grade, at least. Downhill since scoring at Ayr (5f; from 9lb higher) in September 2022; soft ground?.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 +44%) Rajmeister	9 9/1(+44%)	(4) Rajmeister 9/1, Latest win at Redcar in May. Visored for first time, bit below form ninth of 20 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to soft, 33/1) 13 days ago, slowly away. Back in his grade here. Ayr effort (ninth of 20; first-time visor) more encouraging; 2lb above last winning mark..
5th	9 5th (9) (11/1 -22%) Lola's Moment	11 11/1(-22%)	(9) Lola's Moment 11/1, Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 22/1) 9 days ago, faring best of those held up. Can give a good account. 15-race maiden; no further progress since finishing runner-up over C&D in August.
6th	8 6th (8) (6/1 +45%) Monsieur Fantaisie	6 6/1(+45%)	(8) Monsieur Fantaisie 6/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, firm). Off 112 days but he's in excellent hands. 1-25; sole win at Chelmsford (6f); caught close home in this last year; market can guide..
7th	2 7th (2) (12/1 -33%) Gatwick Kitten	12 12/1(-33%)	(2) Gatwick Kitten 12/1, Three wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Yarmouth in August. 11/2, last of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Needs to cast that run aside. Somewhat underwhelming since scoring at Yarmouth (6f Cl6; from a 4lb lower mark) in August.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 +14%) Golden Gal	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Golden Gal 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Beverley in July. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good, 8/1) 38 days ago. Patchy profile; no issue with track, trip or ground though & remains on a competitive mark.
9th	7 9th (7) (10/1 -100%) Noble Captain	10 10/1(-100%)	(7) Noble Captain 10/1, 11/2, good third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces added to tongue tie tackling 5f for the first time. Placed on three occasions on the AW in recent weeks, incl at Newcastle (6f); turf prowess?.

LTO Selection:

NOBLE CAPTAIN has been running to a consistent level on the all-weather in recent starts. Katie Scott's unexposed three-year-old is fitted with first-time cheekpieces today and, should they bring about any further improvement, he might be the answer now back on the grass. Rajmeister is only 2lb higher than for May's Redcar success and must enter calculations, along with Woobay, who hit the woodwork at Hamilton nine days ago.

WOOBAY has been threatening to come good for a while and a repeat of her runner-up effort at Hamilton last week may enable her to go one place better. Lola's Moment shaped quite well on the AW last time and is a threat, with Noble Captain another to consider trying 5f for the first time.

The vote goes to WOOBAY who was arguably a shade unlucky at Hamilton last time, so could make amends.

14:25 Navan Handicap 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (25/1 -150%) Glamorously	25 25/1(-150%)	(6) Glamorously 25/1, Fifth of 6 in nursery at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft, 7/1) 16 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Best run when 2nd over C&D on nursery debut; not as good over 6f last time but chance.
2	5 2nd (5) (7.5/1 +17%) Dramatic Entrance	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(5) Dramatic Entrance 7.5/1, 25/1, followed a good run with a below-par one when twelfth of 13 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good) 7 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut. Showed some ability in maidens over further; one to consider on handicap bow.
3	4 3rd (4) (22/1 -57%) Barley Cove	22 22/1(-57%)	(4) Barley Cove 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Proved to be a disappointment when seventh of 8 on nursery (13/2) at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 10 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Can make presence felt. Showed some ability in maidens but well beaten over 7f on nursery debut; blinkers.
4	2 4th (2) (2.5/1 -67%) Uncle Albert	2.5 2.5/1(-67%)	(2) Uncle Albert 2.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2, good third of 8 in nursery at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 10 days ago, clear of rest. In top form so no surprise should he be in the mix. Fine runs in defeat last twice incl' over this trip; just denied over 7f last time.
5th	8 5th (8) (10/1 +64%) Avanti Avana	10 10/1(+64%)	(8) Avanti Avana 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in maiden (125/1) at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Not a lot of promise in three maiden runs and will have to improve on nursery debut.
6th	10 6th (10) (14/1 +0%) Hasshoffman	14 14/1(+0%)	(10) Hasshoffman 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 9 on nursery debut (11/2) at Down Royal (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Will have to improve from modest nursery debut over 7f; blinkers now.
7th	3 7th (3) (50/1 -79%) Wrestling Revenue	50 50/1(-79%)	(3) Wrestling Revenue 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in nursery at Naas (5f, good to soft, 18/1) 20 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Remains with one standout effort so others preferred. Soundly beaten on nursery debut but a chance if repeating earlier Naas maiden 4th place.
8th	11 8th (11) (9/1 -13%) Amerigo Vespucci	9 9/1(-13%)	(11) Amerigo Vespucci 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in maiden (50/1) at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Makes handicap debut. A hint of ability in maidens; top yard in fine form and hood added for nursery debut.
9th	7 9th (7) (11/2 -10%) Sanshiro	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(7) Sanshiro 11/2, 9/2, fourth of 6 in nursery at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Several decent runs in defeat, incl' here; should go well again with cheekpieces tried.
10th	1 10th (1) (3/1 +40%) West Of Wichita	3 3/1(+40%)	(1) West Of Wichita 3/1, Found run of good form coming to a halt when seventh of 11 on nursery debut (16/5) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 45 days ago, not given an easy time on the lead. Expected to be bang there. Placed four times incl' over 5f here on soft; below form last time but could bounce back.
11th	9 11th (9) (50/1 -25%) Stopitnowjulia	50 50/1(-25%)	(9) Stopitnowjulia 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 13 in maiden at Cork (6f, good to soft) back in June. Makes handicap debut. Some ability on debut but poor twice since; makes nursery bow after a break; check market.

LTO Selection:

WEST OF WICHITA is worth another chance despite running well below par on handicap debut at the Curragh last time. Sent off favourite on that occasion, the Kevin Coleman-trained filly weakened inside the final furlong having hung left throughout. Back on a track where she ran one of her better races, when runner-up to a subsequent winner in a maiden, she can get off the mark. Calum Hogan has enough experience at this stage to be value taking off 10lb. Sanshiro, who finished a place ahead of the Coleman filly at the Curragh, could be capable of better in first-time cheekpieces. The Dandy Man gelding has shaped with a degree of promise in his maidens. Uncle Albert should be suited to dropping back to sprinting having only weakened late on over 7f at the Curragh on his most recent start.

Plenty in with a squeak but preference is for WEST OF WICHITA, who found things tougher when pestered for the lead at the Curragh last time, but Kevin Coleman's filly can leave that effort behind and open her account. Uncle Albert has been narrowly beaten on both starts in nurseries, so he's put forward as the main danger, with Barley Cove and Amerigo Vespucci another couple fancied to go well.

Though WEST OF WICHITA was well below form on last start, that was her seventh run and she could bounce back to form.

9	9 \|PU\| (9) (150/1 -50%) Tika Moon	150 150/1(-50%)	(9) Tika Moon 150/1, Last of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good, 150/1) 35 days ago. Makes chase debut with cheekpieces on for 1st time and a bit to prove. 0-10 and has shown very little over obstacles; blinkers now swapped for cheekpieces..

LTO Selection:

Uncle Arthur failed to land a blow in handicap company when under the tutelage of Nigel Twiston-Davies, but the five-year-old is worth a second look in the market on his stable debut for Fergal O'Brien. HEROS DE MOUTIERS rates as a more solid proposition after finishing runner-up off his current mark at Hexham last month. The in-form Pittsburg and Gambie Tiep are others likely to go well.

GAMBIE TIEP is already a three-time winner this season and was still going well in front when coming down four out at Plumpton last time so is fancied to bag another victory off an unchanged mark here. Heros de Moutiers rates the chief threat on the back of his good Hexham second, with Pittsburg and Uncle Arthur two more who need considering.

Dual chase winner PITTSBURG may still have more to come in this discipline and arguably has fewer doubts to satisfy.

7th	1 7th (1) (25/1 +50%) Godsend	25 25/1(+50%)	(1) Godsend 25/1, Once-raced colt. Fifth of 8 in maiden (22/1) at Leicester (7f, good) on debut 9 days ago. Lots more needed. 22-1, beaten about 17l in maiden at Leicester (7f, good to soft) nine days ago.

LTO Selection:

Ralph Beckett landed this prize with a debutant 12 months ago and he could do so once more with PONITOS. The son of Golden Horn ought to appreciate this initial test of stamina and, with a far from daunting standard set by those with experience, he might not need to be anything special to make a winning start. William Haggas' Victoria Legend could play a leading role, along with Risk On, who shaped with promise on his first start.

The market should reveal plenty here but SALAMANCA makes lots of appeal on paper and fetched 335,000 gns as a yearling so is taken to make a winning start for Jane Chapple-Hyam. Fellow newcomers Victoria Legend (second choice) and Poniros are both in very good hands and warrant plenty of respect too.

Risk On does not set a high standard, so newcomers SALAMANCA (a Grpup 1 entry), Poniros and Victoria Legend top the list.

Merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort. 5f winner (good to soft); weakened out of it latest; up 4lb; more needed..

LTO Selection:

LOUELLA was no match for a progressive rival over 7f at Thirsk in August. Her pedigree would suggest she ought to have no problem with a drop in trip and, from just 3lb higher, the Invincible Army filly could open her account. Recent Chelmsford scorer Scoops Ahoy can mount another serious challenge, while market support for handicap debutant Jungle Jean should be noted.

A tight-knit nursery but John Quinn's filly LOTTING'S LASS looks the way to go under a 6 lb penalty for her convincing breakthrough success at Southwell only six days ago. Scoops Ahoy is feared most on the back of his Chelmsford victory, ahead of handicap debutant Blufferonthebus.

Kevin Ryan's gelding CRACK THE KODE won here on good to soft before finding it too testing at Thirsk. He is taken to get back on track.

LTO Selection:

The John McConnell-trained STANHOPE could represent some value back at a track where he has excelled in the past. Now a nine-year-old, the gelding has won three times at this venue and finished runner-up on his most recent visit here in June. Testing ground should prove no hindrance to the Equiano colt who also has a potentially favourable high draw. Merisi Diamond has little to recommend him in terms of form but it interesting that the locally trained gelding has remained in training late into his four-year-old career, with connections securing the services of in-form apprentice Conor Stone-Walsh. Art Of Unity has been running consistently well of late so has to enter calculations on the back of another solid effort when runner-up at Bellewstown last week.

DISTILLATE proved better than ever when scoring at Bellewstown last week and is taken to follow up. Mogwli and Step Back In Time head the list of dangers.

A maximum field but it is probably best to keep things simple and stick with DISTILLATE(nap) to follow up her career-best win last week

1	1 \|PU\| (1) (25/1 -233%) Head On	25 25/1(-233%)	(1) Head On 25/1, Creditable third of 6 in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft, 10/3). Off 18 months. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Handicapper has given him a chance and he's worth a market check. Absent since March 2022 but would have live claims if ready.

LTO Selection:

JUSTSHORTOFABUBBLE has posted a string of creditable efforts in defeat since his first success at Stratford in August and looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to regain the winning thread. The dropped-in-class Easkey Lad is feared most, with first-time blinkers looking a positive move. William Ewart has been given a break since his eighth-placed effort on chase debut at Uttoxeter in May and it's too early to be writing him off.

JUSTSHORTOFABUBBLE arrives at the top of his game and is fancied to resume winning ways at the possible expense of Easkey Lad, who has blinkers on for the first time. William Ewart has potential despite an underwhelming start in this sphere.

In the hope that blinkers give him a boost, EASKEY LAD is given the vote.

CONCIERGE was able to exploit a sliding handicap mark when successful at Bath in August. A 4lb higher mark wasn't enough to stop him from romping home at Brighton last time, and he is expected to complete his hat-trick despite a further 6lb rise. Ange De L'Amour shaped with promise on her return from a 340-day absence at Bath and she could step forward. Selby's Pride and Evasive Power are just two others to consider.

Lots with chances. CONCIERGE rates just the pick at these weights on the back of his impressive Brighton victory so edges the vote at the chief expense of Evasive Power, who also comes here fresh from a ready success at the same track. A solid case can also be made for Ray Vonn, Dors Toyboy and Primrose Maid in a competitive handicap.

Plenty have possibilities but the resurgent hat-trick seeker CONCIERGE gets the vote ahead of recent Brighton winner Evasive Power.

Could do better and should get competitive again. Commendable third on Newcastle debut (6f, 66-1) a fortnight ago; extra yardage should suit.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/4 +69%) Nominal Event	2.75 11/4(+69%)	(8) Nominal Event 11/4, Twice-raced maiden. 6/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Debut was promising and it's much too soon to be writing her off. Failed to replicate Chester effort when in action at Hamilton last week; first go at 7f..
3	2 3rd (2) (2/1 -82%) Ribble Radiant	2 2/1(-82%)	(2) Ribble Radiant 2/1, Won 9-runner maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 14/1) on debut. Off 115 days. Likely to improve and can make it 2-2 on her return. Picked up nicely to score on Beverley debut (7.5f) in June; off since but is respected..

7th	1 7th (1) (125/1 -25%) Factorforfurniture	125 125/1(-25%)	(1) Factorforfurniture 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in minor event (150/1) at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 13 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ronald Thompson. Well beaten on both starts to date; best watched on first start for Ollie Pears..

LTO Selection:

Ribble Radiant struck on her debut at Beverley in June and, though respected, she has an absence to overcome and will need more under the penalty. With that in mind, the vote goes to LAST APPLAUSE. The daughter of Acclamation hit the frame over 6f at Newcastle first time out, but she can be more potent over this longer trip. Kevin Ryan often does well in these types of contests and his charge, One More Bottle, must enter calculations on his racecourse bow.

RIBBLE RADIANT finished to good effect when making a successful debut at Beverley 115 days ago and the form has proved solid, so she's worth a chance to maintain her unbeaten record for all that the absence is a slight concern. Last Applause looks a big threat after a promising start and newcomer One More Bottle is one to note on pedigree.

The returning Beverley scorer RIBBLE RADIANT could prove capable of defying the penalty. Last Applause is next best.

3	8 3rd (8) (11/2 -10%) Collective Power	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(8) Collective Power 11/2, Course winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (11/4) at Cork (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago, pushed out. Has been showing useful form at 6f since 5f course win in June, seems best on good ground.
4	6 4th (6) (11/1 +31%) Gustavus Weston	11 11/1(+31%)	(6) Gustavus Weston 11/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Cork (5f, good) 68 days ago. Has won three Group races at the Curragh but no success since 2021, has been in decline.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/4 +42%) Jon Riggens	1.75 7/4(+42%)	(4) Jon Riggens 7/4, Course winner. Latest win at the Curragh in August. 13/2, creditable fourth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, soft) 11 days ago, nearest finish. Has been holding his form well and may prove best of three runners here for his trainer.
6th	7 6th (7) (18/1 -13%) Volatile Analyst	18 18/1(-13%)	(7) Volatile Analyst 18/1, 25/1, seventeenth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Stable in good form and tumbling in the weights but has lots to prove. Six-time winner in Britain, once rated 105, needs to improve on his first two Irish runs.
7th	12 7th (12) (12/1 +52%) Sioux Spirit	12 12/1(+52%)	(12) Sioux Spirit 12/1, Course winner. 28/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, soft) 11 days ago. Uneven form since 6f Naas win in June, behind a few of these at the Curragh 11 days ago.

9th	1 9th (1) (6/1 +20%) Real Force	6 6/1(+20%)	(1) Real Force 6/1, Reappearance winner at Cork. Below form eighth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, soft, 12/1) 11 days ago.

10th	2 10th (2) (33/1 -32%) Apache Outlaw	33 33/1(-32%)	(2) Apache Outlaw 33/1, First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when eighteenth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 66/1) 24 days ago. Trainer going well. Has work to do. Often highly tried when with Joseph O'Brien, towards rear on stable debut at the Curragh.
11th	13 11th (13) (40/1 -21%) Clear Quartz	40 40/1(-21%)	(13) Clear Quartz 40/1, Fourteenth of 17 in handicap (10/1) at Galway (8.3f, heavy). Off 11 months. Significantly down in trip. Off the course for almost a year, last season's Galway win came over an extended 1m.

LTO Selection:

HEAVENLY POWER is a speculative suggestion in a tight knit handicap where any number of contenders are capable of winning if at their best. The Eddie Lynam-trained gelding was slightly unlucky in running when fifth in the Scurry Handicap earlier in the season, form that stands out in the context of this race. Just denied back at the Curragh on his next outing, the five-year-old has been slightly disappointing on his two most recent starts. If back to his best, he has a class edge here. Real Force finished mid-division in a premier handicap last time, having won at Cork on his previous start. The six-year-old should make a bold bid under Conor Stone-Walsh. Wave Machine returned to form when successful at Down Royal last month. The visor she wore on that occasion is replaced by blinkers here.

The step up to 7f was a plausible excuse for HEAVENLY POWER at the Curragh 11 days ago and quickly back sprinting, he could be the way to go. Last-time-out winners Mickey The Steel and Collective Power (a stablemate of the selection) are feared most.

Last week's Bellewstown winner MICKEY THE STEEL will have suitable ground conditions again and may cope with a 7lb rise.

Presumably had her issues to not have been seen since, so she's probably best watched on hurdles debut. Absent for well over two years; would want to see her strong in the market.
2	3 2nd (3) (15/8 +25%) Drumlee Spud	1.875 15/8(+25%)	(3) Drumlee Spud 15/8, Successful on sole outing in points and produced a promising first effort under Rules when runner-up in a Worcester bumper last month. Likely sort upped in trip for her hurdles debut. Picked up for £45,000 after winning an Irish point in the spring; shortlisted now hurdling.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 -14%) Omaha Wish	4 4/1(-14%)	(4) Omaha Wish 4/1, Point winner who made a solid start under Rules when third in a bumper at Warwick in February. Proved a let-down 7 weeks on at Fakenham when last seen 6 months ago but has had a wind operation ahead of her hurdling debut. Needs a market check. Bought for £100,000 after winning an Irish point last autumn; has undergone wind surgerey.
4	1 4th (1) (6/5 +40%) Eve Moneypenny	1.2 6/5(+40%)	(1) Eve Moneypenny 6/5, Maiden pointer who made a successful start to life under Rules despite having proved friendless in the betting in maiden hurdle at Punchestown in June. Failed to kick on from that on both subsequent starts and has since switched yards. Can put her hurdling experience to good use. Ex-Irish mare who has a bit to prove for her new yard under a penalty.
5th	2 5th (2) (28/1 -75%) Caught A Vibe	28 28/1(-75%)	(2) Caught A Vibe 28/1, £40,000 5-y-o, Dylan Thomas mare. Half-sister to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Boss Man Fred and fairly useful hurdler Wild Romance, stays 29f. Dam point winner. Placed last 2 of 3 starts in Irish points, beaten a head last time (Jan 22). Half-sister to four winners, including two on hurdling debut; the market will guide.

LTO Selection:

Former point-to-point winner DRUMLEE SPUD, a half-sister to the useful Monbeg Stream, was the subject of strong support on her debut in a Worcester bumper last month. A clear second that day, it was a respectable effort and she is fancied to be a different proposition with hurdles to negotiate. Eve Moneypenny tasted success over timber for her previous stable in Ireland and is noted on debut for Donald McCain. Omaha Wish is also considered.

Tough to rule out any of the sextet but preference is for EVE MONEYPENNY, who has failed to kick on since making a successful start to life under Rules at Punchestown in June but can put her hurdling experience to good use on first outing for Donald McCain. Drumlee Spud finished runner-up in a Worcester bumper last month and she's expected to be in the mix now hurdling, with Omaha Wish rounding off the shortlist.

Irish point winner DRUMLEE SPUD is taken to leave her odds-on bumper defeat behind in a race in which the market should tell a story.

1	1 1st (1) (9/4 +18%) Spoof	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(1) Spoof 9/4, 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in August. Good second of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, soft, 12/1) 4 days ago, clear of rest. Not taken lightly. As good as ever this year & pulled clear with winner at Haydock on Saturday; big chance.
2	3 2nd (3) (13/2 +28%) Sir Titus	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(3) Sir Titus 13/2, Latest win at Ayr in June. Last of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft, 7/2) 69 days ago. Seemed amiss last time and too soon to write him off. Conditions should suit and he can go well fresh; one to consider in an open sprint.
3	5 3rd (5) (15/2 -50%) Elegant Erin	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(5) Elegant Erin 15/2, 3 lengths last of 6 to Kerdos in listed race (22/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Mark is unchanged after that creditable showing and she faces a more realistic assignment back in handicap company. Winless in 2023 but looked better than ever; one to take seriously back in calmer waters.
4	8 4th (8) (5/2 +0%) Fantasy Master	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(8) Fantasy Master 5/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in July. 8/1, good second of 10 in handicap at this course (6.1f, heavy) 8 days ago. Has an excellent record at this track and makes most appeal. Three-time course winner; fine 2nd over 6f here last week; major player back at 5f.
5th	2 5th (2) (15/2 +38%) Hiya Maite	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(2) Hiya Maite 15/2, Latest win at Beverley in June. 15/2, fourth of 5 in minor event at Beverley (5f, heavy) 8 days ago. Might strip fitter for that outing. Progressive sprinter who should be sharper for his recent return (stiff task); interesting.
6th	7 6th (7) (12/1 -41%) Angle Land	12 12/1(-41%)	(7) Angle Land 12/1, 3 wins from 14 runs this year. 4/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 21 days ago, going off too hard. Best not judged on latest effort and scored from a higher mark earlier in the campaign. Had a good year and conditions won't be an issue; other front-runners on show.
7th	6 7th (6) (9/1 -38%) Desert Games	9 9/1(-38%)	(6) Desert Games 9/1, 16/1 and blinkered for 1st time, first run since leaving Richard Fahey when respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, soft) 62 days ago, nearest finish. Likeable type who leaves the impression that there's a bigger effort in him when things fall right. Has ability but also some quirks; finished strongly at Goodwood on stable debut (5f, soft).

LTO Selection:

SPOOF finished a close-up second in a competitive class 2 event at Haydock on Saturday and must hold every chance if producing a similar level of performance. Similar sentiments apply to Fantasy Master, but the five-year-old would make slightly more appeal over 6f. The Sepoy gelding still rates as a live threat, with Desert Games and Hiya Maite making most appeal of the remainder.

FANTASY MASTER tends to save his best for this track and, following a good second over 6f here, he's worth a chance to go one better. Spoof and Desert Games are also of plenty of interest.

Elegant Erin and SPOOF are dropping in class and may fight out the finish. Fantasy Master is also greatly respected.

Stiff task when 4½ lengths eighth of 9 to Prime Art in Firth of Clyde Stakes at Ayr (6f, good, 40/1) 11 days ago. Respected.

Ran creditably when third of 11 in nursery (3/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, every chance when bumped over 1f out. In the mix. Marginal career best over 1m at Thirsk latest; drops 1lb and back in trip; not ruled out..
5th	5 5th (5) (22/1 +12%) Empire Of Light	22 22/1(+12%)	(5) Empire Of Light 22/1, Winner at Newmarket in June. Seventh of 10 on nursery debut at Yarmouth (6f, soft, 33/1) 13 days ago. Seems to be going the wrong way and hopes pinned on a first-time visor and/or a step up in trip working the oracle. 6f winner; well beaten on last three starts but first-time visor may help.

LTO Selection:

ICE MAX shed his maiden tag over C&D on his penultimate start before being well held in the Flying Scotsman at Doncaster last month, but this is a much easier assignment and he can defy an opening mark of 80. Noo Point filled the runner-up spot in a novice event at Epsom last time and has to be considered on his nursery bow, while Empire Of Light could improve for the application of a visor for the first time.

Karl Burke is having an outstanding season with his juveniles and ICE MAX is fancied to get back to winning ways on handicap debut having been found out in listed company at Doncaster last month. Bellarchi is another taking a drop in grade so she could well emerge as the main danger, ahead of Charged Up.

The suggestion is ICE MAX (nap), who returns to the scene of his win and drops back to realistic company. He could have more to come.

Significantly up in trip. Slowly away and never involved over 5f at Bellewstown on debut, safe to rule out.

LTO Selection:

A difficult contest to assess, with very little form to go on. Aidan O'Brien introduces two expensive yearling purchases, with Euphoric bought for 1.9 million guineas, while South Pole was knocked down for 650,000 guineas. Whatever happens here, they will both come on plenty for this initial experience. Ger Lyons is also double-handed, with Colin Keane opting to partner ROCKING TREE. The Teme Valley-owned bay improved from his debut effort at the Curragh to finish fourth at Punchestown on his most recent start and he can put his experience to good use now. Gavin Cromwell has done well with his juveniles this season and the County Meath handler is represented by Moutarde, who is an interesting contender on debut. Benvoy and Volto Di Medusa were fifth and sixth in their respective barrier trials at Dundalk last month, with the latter since down the field on his racecourse debut at Down Royal.

EUPHORIC cost a fortune as a yearling and is the choice of Seamie Heffernan, so he's taken to make a winning start at the expense of stablemate South Pole without the benefit of market clues. Best Law also makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Not much to go on here so the 1.9m guineas purchase price boasted by EUPHORIC is the most significant factor

3	6 3rd (6) (9/2 +36%) Ballycamus	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(6) Ballycamus 9/2, Doubled his career tally when scoring at Newbury (24.2f, soft) in March, seeming to relish the emphasis on stamina back up in trip. Beaten only by a progressive rival at Ludlow on next start and possibly found busy spell catching up with him on final outing of the season, so isn't discounted. Pulled up when last seen in May but had been in good form before; possible.
4	3 4th (3) (5/1 +38%) King's Threshold	5 5/1(+38%)	(3) King's Threshold 5/1, Showed improved form switched to handicaps when winning 12-runner event at Exeter (21.6f, soft) in April. Failed to get home on worsening ground when stepped up to this kind of trip at Kempton on next start but certainly worth another go to test his stamina and is respected. Exeter winner in April and ought to be capable of further progress.
5th	9 5th (9) (6/1 -71%) Morricone	6 6/1(-71%)	(9) Morricone 6/1, Showed further improvement to run out a comprehensive winner of an 11-runner handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft, 5/2) 19 days ago. Very much appeals as the type to progress again but this markedly longer trip is an unknown. Won in good style in Ireland last month; huge rise to overcome but still plenty to like.
6th	7 6th (7) (3/1 +14%) Olivers Travels	3 3/1(+14%)	(7) Olivers Travels 3/1, Runner-up in an Irish point before landing a brace of bumpers this summer. Opened hurdles account at the second attempt at Worcester (23f) last month and looked blatantly unsuited by the return to 2m when second at Uttoxeter last time, so should have more to offer now handicapping over further. Handicap debut; maiden winner two starts ago; well worth considering.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (12/1 -20%) Punxsutawney Phil	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Punxsutawney Phil 12/1, Winless on Flat since December 2022 and ran just respectably on return to hurdling when sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, good, 11/2) 28 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter having since left Brian Ellison. Sold for 10,000gns since last month's Hexham effort; back up in trip.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (33/1 -106%) Dee Star	33 33/1(-106%)	(8) Dee Star 33/1, Won veterans' chase at Cartmel in May and got back on track when second in 8-runner event there towards the end of August, Unraced over hurdles for almost 5 years, though, so looks far from well treated returning to this sphere. Goes well in chases at Cartmel; first hurdle outing for five years.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (40/1 -233%) Burbank	40 40/1(-233%)	(2) Burbank 40/1, Back to form out of the blue when springing a 33/1 surprise in 26.5f Perth handicap hurdle in April, benefiting from an enterprising ride. Remains to be seen whether he's allowed quite so much rope again. Reverted to hurdles with 33-1 Perth win in April; off since; best when able to lead.

LTO Selection:

A comfortable winner of a maiden hurdle at Worcester on his penultimate start, OLIVERS TRAVELS has already shown a lot of promise in this sphere and is an appealing option starting out in handicaps off a workable mark. Recent Downpatrick winner Morricone commands respect in receipt of 8lb from the selection. Halifax, a C&D winner off 3lb lower last month, is also respected, while Dee Star is another notable contender.

Dual bumper winner OLIVERS TRAVELS ran well despite seeming unsuited by the drop in trip at Uttoxeter last time and Peter Bowen's gelding looks just the type to do better handicapping over this kind of trip. Irish raider Morricone is most progressive and appeals as particularly interesting taking a marked step up in trip, whilst Classic Concorde is also respected in search of the hat-trick.

A competitive race can go to KING'S THRESHOLD on his return from a break.

6	6 (6) (100/1 -203%) The Spinmeister	100 100/1(-203%)	(6) The Spinmeister 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1 and hooded for first time, third of 4 in minor event at Catterick (6f, soft) 22 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Seemed to show more on his reappearance but that form may be misleading; hood left off now.
1	5 1st (5) (14/1 -17%) Rhubarb	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Rhubarb 14/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Back down in trip and more consistent than some of these. In better heart than her form figures suggest; each-way claims at least in this field.
2	10 2nd (10) (5/1 +58%) Enchanted Night	5 5/1(+58%)	(10) Enchanted Night 5/1, Unreliable individual. One win from 38 Flat runs. 11/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 20 days ago. Hard to win with but effective over C&D and handles soft ground; others safer.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 +0%) Yazaman	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Yazaman 5/1, Temperamental sort. One win from 35 Flat runs. 6/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 6 days ago, not knocked about. Cheekpieces back on and he clearly needs everything to fall right. Frustrating sort but capable at this level and holds each-way claims again.
4	9 4th (9) (9/1 -20%) Tilsworth Ony Ta	9 9/1(-20%)	(9) Tilsworth Ony Ta 9/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap (5/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 18 days ago. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Ready winner at Bath latest; handles good to soft but any slower would be a concern.
5th	4 5th (4) (17/2 +23%) Areille	8.5 17/2(+23%)	(4) Areille 17/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 7 in handicap (3/1) at Brighton (5.3f, heavy) 16 days ago. Isn't totally straightforward but a player on that run. 0-10 for current yard but she has been threatening; drops to 5f and needs more for it.
6th	8 6th (8) (4/1 +20%) Smooch	4 4/1(+20%)	(8) Smooch 4/1, Very good fourth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 14/1) 6 days ago. Shortlist material eased 3 lb given she's unexposed over 5f. Ran well back at 5f last week; 3lb lower and J Hart replaces an apprentice; contender.
7th	3 7th (3) (9/1 +10%) Gustav Graves	9 9/1(+10%)	(3) Gustav Graves 9/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, tenth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good) 9 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Flopped at Leicester last time but earlier efforts give him solid claims at this level.
8th	11 8th (11) (11/1 -83%) Captain Corcoran	11 11/1(-83%)	(11) Captain Corcoran 11/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, very good second of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Can make presence felt. Hard to win with but comes here on the back of two good placed efforts; each-way claims.
9th	7 9th (7) (9/1 +0%) Ali Jewels	9 9/1(+0%)	(7) Ali Jewels 9/1, Well backed and better than ever when winning 8-runner handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft) 15 days ago, making all. Another bold bid looks on the cards. Made most at Yarmouth two weeks ago; 4lb rise demands more; soft ground a query.
10th	2 10th (2) (18/1 -260%) Grey Daze	18 18/1(-260%)	(2) Grey Daze 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 8 in maiden (250/1) at Navan (5.8f, good to soft) 34 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Adrian Murray. Blinkers on first time for handicap debut. Poor form in four runs in Ireland; gelded/blinkered for this stable/handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

ALI JEWELS reaped the rewards under a more aggressive ride when recently making all at Yarmouth. William Jarvis' filly should take all of the beating if adopting similar tactics off only 4lb higher. Last-time-out winner Tilsworth Ony Ta cannot be discounted in his current mood, while Areille's mark continues to fall and the four-year-old has performed well enough in recent appearances to suggest that she can go well.

On just her second start over 5f, SMOOCH produced a career best when fourth in a deeper handicap than this at Pontefract last week and having been eased 3 lb since, she looks ready to open her account. Ali Jewels and Tilsworth Ony Ta are a couple of potential threats.

Smooch looks a solid contender after last week's good fourth but RHUBARB could bounce back to her best under today's conditions.

The booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye and she makes more appeal than most back at this venue. Dual C&D winner (good to firm); sits on last winning mark, so she'd have to merit respect..

Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. No joy in three starts for this trainer and beaten 28l at Hamilton latest; handicap debut..

LTO Selection:

YASMIN FROM YORK had Tarbat Ness (fourth) over a length behind when third over 2m1f at Pontefract last month and the seven-year-old has been left on the same rating. She has proven to be more than capable at this level and could be the one to beat today. The is in solid form at present and he should go well once again, while Milltown Lily makes the most appeal of the remainder after her second at Carlisle and she goes off the same mark.

YASMIN FROM YORK scored twice over C&D last year and having dropped to her last winning mark, she gets the vote to regain the winning thread with the booking of Hollie Doyle catching the eye. The main danger could emerge from Easter Icon, who needs to leave a rare below-par effort behind at Ffos Las last month, with Toscan Genius and A Day To Dream rounding off the shortlist.

A chance is taken that easy ground won't prove a barrier to success to the Catterick specialist YASMIN FROM YORK.

Looks competitive on form. Won her second race when winning over C&D last time; blinkers worn then retained.

LTO Selection:

A case can be made for all 13 runners in this fiercely competitive affair. Bidding for a fourth win in a row and her fifth of the season, FRATAS gets the nod. The admirable chestnut battled gamely to beat Royal Eagle at Tramore on her latest start, with that rival successful over flights at Tipperary on Sunday. The selection will be ridden by the talented Wesley Joyce, who claims a valuable 7lb. Drop The Dip and Dumb Love were both successful at Bellewstown last week, with the hat-trick seeking former given second preference. He beat Perfect Poise by a neck at the County Meath venue and that reopposing Kodiac bay is likely to have plenty of supporters as she bids to reverse the form. Timeless Soul is the highest rated runner in the line-up and it'll be interesting to see how she fares, turned out again quickly after finishing an eye-catching third on Sunday. With four wins between them this season, Plume Noire and You Owe Me Money are other leading hopes.

PERFECT POISE arrives on the up yet can race off the same mark as when a very good Bellewstown second last time so gets the vote. Signora Bellissima heads the list of dangers on the back of her C&D success from the selection, with in-form duo Dance Night Andday and You Owe Me Money also in the mix in a competitive handicap.

An eyecatcher on return from a break at Punchestown last time, YOU OWE ME MONEY could get back on the scoresheet again.

3	9 3rd (9) (33/1 +0%) Quietness	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Quietness 33/1, Found only a useful rival too good on debut. Failed to build on that when third of 6 in maiden (9/1) at Ffos Las (10f, soft) 40 days ago. Hood on first time.

8th	7 8th (7) (7/2 +13%) Love Story	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(7) Love Story 7/2, Frankel filly. Closely related to 1¼m winner Homeric and half-sister to several winners, including very smart US Grade 1 1¼m winner Max Player. Obvious appeal on paper. Bred to be smart (half-sis to G1 & G2 winners); represents leading yard; betting to guide.
9th	5 9th (5) (250/1 -150%) Credit Note	250 250/1(-150%)	(5) Credit Note 250/1, Sea The Moon filly. Half-sister to 7f winner in UAE Davy Lamp and another winner abroad by Poet's Voice. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1¼m-15f winner Fergus McIver. Some appeal on paper but unraced for the Crisfords and best watched on belated debut.

LTO Selection:

Ayyab sets the standard based on her third in handicap company off a mark of 75, but that level is not too high and preference is for LOVE STORY. The daughter of Frankel is a half-sister to US Grade 1 winner Max Player, as well as Group 2 scorer Seahenge. The fact that she makes her debut this late into her three-year-old year suggests that connections believe that she can pick up a race and this looks like an ideal opportunity. Elladonna edges out Another Beautiful and Quietness to be the pick of the remainder.

Leading connections have had to be patient with LOVE STORY but she's bred to be very good so she may well be talented enough to get the job done on debut. Ayyab sets a pretty good standard and is the obvious alternative, with Elladonna a likely improver.

Ayyab is unexposed over middle distances and can go well but ELLADONNA is taken to confirm the promise of her Salisbury debut.

5th	3 5th (3) (66/1 -32%) Fat Harry	66 66/1(-32%)	(3) Fat Harry 66/1, Multiplex gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Silva Eclipse, and half-brother to poor chaser Catlin. Dam unraced. Others make more appeal. Brother to a multiple winner; worth a market glance on racecourse debut.
6th	8 6th (8) (10/1 +70%) Tune In A Box	10 10/1(+70%)	(8) Tune In A Box 10/1, Prominent in the betting on both outings but looked badly in need the experience when mid-field in a bumper and ran to just poor level when fifth of 9 in novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good) on hurdles bow 178 days ago. Well held in a bumper and on hurdle debut in the spring.
7th	5 7th (5) (100/1 -150%) Specialagent Mcgee	100 100/1(-150%)	(5) Specialagent Mcgee 100/1, Backed at long odds but showed nothing when last of 9 in bumper at Ffos Las (15.8f, soft) on debut in January. Gelded/had breathing op since. Tailed off in a bumper; gelded since and also had wind surgery; hurdle debut.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (9/4 +44%) Easter Junction	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(2) Easter Junction 9/4, Point runner-up made the frame in 2 bumpers last season, shaping encouragingly when third in a good Musselburgh contest on debut before going off too hard when fourth at Doncaster. Respected hurdles newcomer. Hurdle debut; should have a future based on ability shown in a point and in bumpers.

LTO Selection:

It is hard to ignore the potential held by WORDSWORTH, who reached a mark of 111 on the Flat during his time with Aidan O'Brien. Having impressed with a close second in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe on his sole start for Josh Halley, he looks a prime candidate to improve. Now under David Pipe's tutelage, this could be the start of an intriguing campaign for the five-year-old. Easter Junction, Black Occ and Book Of Verse head the list of dangers.

WORDSWORTH would be hard to oppose on the form of his hurdling debut second even without acknowledging the quality he showed on the Flat, so is a strong fancy to get the better of hurdles debutant Easter Junction and Black Occ, who made an encouraging start at Worcester last month.

It will be disappointing if WORDSWORTH cannot land this.

1	10 1st (10) (11/4 -22%) Club Manager	2.75 11/4(-22%)	(10) Club Manager 11/4, Winner at Kempton in August. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (9/4) at Bath (14f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Good second over 1m6f on latest outing and had shown promise on soft on reappearance.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +14%) Medieval Gold	3 3/1(+14%)	(4) Medieval Gold 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/8, last of 6 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 26 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Probably best not judged too harshly on latest effort and he remains unexposed. Disappointing on AW last time; now has blinkers and an extra 4f, the latter making appeal.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/1 +29%) Spiced Rum	10 10/1(+29%)	(8) Spiced Rum 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, good third of 9 in handicap at Beverley (16.2f, good to firm) 48 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Rebecca Menzies. Not dismissed. Clear best when third at Beverley (2m, good to firm) last time; has left Rebecca Menzies.
4	1 4th (1) (17/2 +29%) Russian Rumour	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(1) Russian Rumour 17/2, Latest win at Bath in June. 16/1, below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Bath (14f, good) 18 days ago, inadequate test. Should be suited by a return to this trip. Acts on soft but she was beaten 27l on it when runner-up at Ffos Las in August.
5th	9 5th (9) (17/2 -31%) Buxlow Boy	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(9) Buxlow Boy 17/2, Unreliable type. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 4 in handicap (3/1) at Ffos Las (12f, soft) 49 days ago. Longer trip could suit but he's looked a tricky customer up to press. Close second of four at Ffos Las (soft) in his second handicap; shapes like a stayer.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 +67%) Scotch Mist	11 11/1(+67%)	(6) Scotch Mist 11/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 12/1) 28 days ago. Not in top form at present. Lightly raced; remote finish on AW debut last time, when she was upped to 2m from 1m4f.
7th	5 7th (5) (11/1 +8%) Idilico	11 11/1(+8%)	(5) Idilico 11/1, Course winner. Good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, soft, 5/1) 2 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Interesting contender back on the level for all that the race might come too soon. Two runs for new yard, the latest when second in a soft-ground hurdle race.
8th	7 8th (7) (5/1 -25%) Greek Giant	5 5/1(-25%)	(7) Greek Giant 5/1, Latest win at Brighton in June. 10/3, good second of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 13 days ago. Should give another good account. Beaten a head over 1m6f on AW; worth a go at 2m; major player if he goes on the ground.

LTO Selection:

GREEK GIANT appeared to be improving rapidly on the turf before having a short stint on the all-weather last month, and he may return to winning ways now upped to 2m. Club Manager arrives in good heart and is another potential improver on the rise in trip, although the son of Nathaniel will need to settle better. It's too early to be writing Medieval Gold off.

CLUB MANAGER is going the right way and seems likely to pull out more now upped to 2m, so he takes preference over the in-form Greek Giant. Buxlow Boy is another lightly-raced sort who should benefit from the longer trip, but he's shown the odd sign of temperament.

Most have possibilities. GREEK GIANT and Buxlow Boy may be the ones to benefit most from this slog.

Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Poor form except her second start, when showing minor promise at Yarmouth; more needed..

LTO Selection:

Compensation could await WADE'S MAGIC, who has been knocking on the door over C&D of late. Tim Easterby's gelding races off the same mark as his recent second here and holds the most compelling claims. Autumn Flight posted one of his better efforts when finishing a close-up third at Pontefract last week and is feared most on this quick turnaround off a 2lb lower rating. White Umbrella has been in fair form on the all-weather and completes the shortlist.

GARIFULLINA has few miles on the clock and caught the eye back from a 4-month break at Redcar last month. She makes fair appeal. Autumn Flight and Wade's Magic can also make their presence felt.

A weak contest where the suggestion is WADE'S MAGIC, who has conditions to suit, a handy draw and goes well at this track.

Had been in good order prior to latest effort, so no surprise if she bounces back. Dundalk winner, 0-12 on turf, has never run beyond 1m, others have stronger credentials.

LTO Selection:

Aengus King has his horses in fine form of late, saddling two winners within the last fortnight. The County Clare handler is represented by TASMANIAN GIRL in this wide-open affair and the daughter of Australia looks capable of making an impact. A solid fifth on her penultimate start at Roscommon, she came in for some market support at Cork on Tuesday of last week, finishing a never nearer fourth of 18 behind Zephron. Upped in trip now to 10 furlongs, it'll be disappointing if she is not involved towards the business end. Secret Rock has won two of his last four and would be a worthy favourite, while Grann's Boy and Not Just Any Eagle are other obvious contenders, with the latter beaten by a nose at Gowran in July. Second and third respectively in this race 12 months ago, Gudrun Genberg and Noble Crusade both warrant respect, while Leabaland, Pollanassa and Game Notion are others for the shortlist.

SOLAR BREEZE wasn't seen to best effect at Punchestown last time but she'd been in good form previously and the step up in trip could suit her, so she gets the nod over Grann's Boy and Secret Rock.

A race of this standard looks within the range of NOT JUST ANY EAGLE who went very close for today's rider at Gowran in July.

Big shout despite a 4 lb rise. Improver since switched to the AW/handicapping; leading claims for a yard in decent nick.
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 +0%) Savrola	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Savrola 12/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 8 days ago, very much having run of race. Considered. Allowed his own way in front at a steady pace last week and this is a deeper race.

8th	5 8th (5) (80/1 -142%) Aristobulus	80 80/1(-142%)	(5) Aristobulus 80/1, Running creditably when fell last in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft, 6/1) 159 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat (won at Wolverhampton in January), so not discounted. Needs to settle from the outside stall after a break; is some way down the pecking order.

10th	9 10th (9) (22/1 -144%) Natchez Trace	22 22/1(-144%)	(9) Natchez Trace 22/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (16.5f) 21 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Been inclined to pull hard since a Tapeta win in June and has rather lost his way.
11th	6 11th (6) (100/1 -203%) Sir Laurence Graff	100 100/1(-203%)	(6) Sir Laurence Graff 100/1, Hooded for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap (40/1) at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) 39 days ago. Others have achieved more. Switch from turf may help, but he's achieved little in two runs back for his current yard.

LTO Selection:

In an open event, marginal preference is for FLEUR DE MER, who has won two of her last three starts and is only 4lb higher than for the most recent of those victories at Newcastle. Mordor found just one too good on his handicap bow here three weeks ago and the son of Roaring Lion remains open to further improvement. Others to note are Perseus Way, Tessy Lad and Mayfair Gold.

A case can be made for a few of these but FLEUR DE MER looks the way to go on the back of his ready Newcastle success. Good Salisbury third Alice Knyvet is next on the list ahead of Yarmouth scorer Tarbaan and Perseus Way.

Plenty to consider in an open handicap, headed by FLEUR DE MER. Alice Knyvet and Mordor head the list of dangers.

However, appears to be yard's second string judged on jockey bookings. Looks stable second string but well worth keeping an eye on.
6th	2 6th (2) (80/1 -471%) Exclusive Getaway	80 80/1(-471%)	(2) Exclusive Getaway 80/1, Acquitted himself well when second of 4 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good) on NH debut in May and needs monitoring in market on hurdles bow. Hooded for first time. Modest Irish point form and second of four in a Warwick bumper on British debut.
7th	9 7th (9) (50/1 -213%) Shiroccosmagicbaby	50 50/1(-213%)	(9) Shiroccosmagicbaby 50/1, Winning Irish pointer who offered plenty to work on when second of 11 in novice hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 8 months ago. Would likely appreciate a stiffer test of stamina, though. Irish point winner; second at Hereford on hurdle debut; this looks tougher.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (7/2 -40%) Dino Bellagio	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(7) Dino Bellagio 7/2, Found company too hot at Aintree in April but had won 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers prior to that and looks a big player on hurdles debut here. Two bumper wins last season; interesting on hurdle debut.

LTO Selection:

ACT OF AUTHORITY displayed plenty of promise when filling second place in both bumper starts earlier in the year and it would be no surprise to see the son of Authorized make a winning debut over hurdles here. Dino Bellagio also showed ability in bumpers and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Shiroccosmagicbaby and Mahler Moon also merit consideration.

Winning pointer ACT OF AUTHORITY ran with plenty of promise in both his bumpers and is taken to make a successful switch to hurdling. Dino Bellagio also makes plenty of appeal on his first start over timber, whilst Iron D'ex acquitted himself well here last autumn and is not taken lightly.

Useful prospect ACT OF AUTHORITY can make a winning start over hurdles.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/2 +29%) Dubai Souq	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(1) Dubai Souq 5/2, C&D winner. Ran creditably against a pair of 3-y-os when third of 7 in handicap at Newbury (10f, heavy, 4/1) 12 days ago. Has plenty of form on testing ground and is respected. Best 2023 efforts came on soft; edging down weights but may be vulnerable to an improver.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/4 +18%) I Still Have Faith	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(2) I Still Have Faith 9/4, C&D winner. 4 wins from 11 runs this year. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap (7/2) at Newmarket (9f, good) 11 days ago. Ground represents an unknown but he's clearly thriving and can't be discounted. Going great guns but he has a lot more to prove on soft or heavy ground.
3	7 3rd (7) (25/1 +0%) Star Of Mayo	25 25/1(+0%)	(7) Star Of Mayo 25/1, Won at Lingfield in January. Last of 11 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm, 50/1) 36 days ago, hanging badly left and eased. Blinkers now applied but hard to have much faith in at present. Below form last four starts and two of those saw him tailed off; now tries headgear.
4	6 4th (6) (11/2 +61%) Palio	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(6) Palio 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, not at his best when fourth of 6 on handicap debut at Kempton (11f) 28 days ago. Will probably require a step forward to threaten here. Four runs; needs better than he showed on handicap/AW debut last time but is dropped 3lb.
5th	4 5th (4) (2/1 +0%) Navarre Express	2 2/1(+0%)	(4) Navarre Express 2/1, Much improved when winning 5-runner event on handicap debut (7/1) at Ffos Las (12f, good to soft) 20 days ago, staying on well. 6 lb rise may not be enough to stop her from following up. Won well in a five-runner race at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft) on handicap debut latest; up 6lb.

LTO Selection:

The hat-trick seeking I Still Have Faith looks to have more in the locker and a further 5lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Slight preference, however, is for NAVARRE EXPRESS, who was quite a taking winner when romping clear on her handicap debut at Ffos Las last month. The daughter of Roaring Lion could defy a 6lb hike, while Dubai Souq is worth a second look.

NAVARRE EXPRESS seemed particularly well suited by both the soft ground and increased test of stamina when making a successful switch to handicaps at Ffos Las last time and she looks capable of following up. Dubai Souq is proven on the going and ran well behind a pair of improvers last time, so gets the nod for second over the in-form I Still Have Faith, who would be a major player if coping with testing conditions.

The 3yos make plenty of appeal, with NAVARRE EXPRESS (nap) looking well equipped for a slog in the mud and bringing potential.

1	10 1st (10) (5/1 +17%) Valley Of Flowers	5 5/1(+17%)	(10) Valley Of Flowers 5/1, Extremely reliable for one operating at this sort of level and gained a deserved second success of the season in 10-runner handicap (9/2) at Ayr (13.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago, well on top finish. Good record here and she can go well again. Acts here; up 5lb for Ayr win, so will probably need a bit of improvement to follow up..
2	1 2nd (1) (11/2 +21%) Richard P Smith	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(1) Richard P Smith 11/2, Very much had the run of the race when getting off the mark for the season at Lingfield in May. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good, 7/1) 17 days ago. No match for 3-y-o there and can go well again from the front. Thereabouts on last two starts and nudged up 1lb after a career best; each-way player..
3	7 3rd (7) (14/1 -56%) The Dancing Poet	14 14/1(-56%)	(7) The Dancing Poet 14/1, 4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D (heavy) 11 days ago. Multiple C&D winner who was found out back up at this level latest; more needed..
4	6 4th (6) (11/1 -47%) Don't Look Back	11 11/1(-47%)	(6) Don't Look Back 11/1, 11/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 11 days ago, faring best of those held up. Looks to be coming to the boil. Conditions suit but he needs improvement based on his 4l third over C&D (soft) latest..
5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 +30%) Ring Of Beara	7 7/1(+30%)	(3) Ring Of Beara 7/1, 22/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good to soft) 25 days ago, finishing with running left. One to note down in class. Took a step back in the right direction at Thirsk latest; drops 2lb and not written off..
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 -67%) Sutue Alshams	10 10/1(-67%)	(5) Sutue Alshams 10/1, 10/3, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to firm) 36 days ago, rallying to regain lead final 1f and well on top finish. More needed again up 5 lb. Made most to win going away at Musselburgh; up 5lb and in grade but much respected..
7th	11 7th (11) (13/2 +28%) Portoro	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(11) Portoro 13/2, Winner at Salisbury in July. 5/2, ninth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 30 days ago, finding little. Up in trip. 1m2f winner; beaten favourite latest; could be more to come back up in trip..
8th	9 8th (9) (18/1 -13%) Edwina Sheeran	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) Edwina Sheeran 18/1, Has had a fine season, notching her fourth success of the year (and third at Ripon) last month. 9/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, soft) 18 days ago. Something to find here. Multiple 1m4f winner; not ruled out back down in trip and with a slight drop in grade..
9th	2 9th (2) (5/2 -25%) Tarraff	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(2) Tarraff 5/2, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (2/1) at Leicester (11.8f, soft) 22 days ago, soon leading and well ridden. This is tougher up 6 lb. Won comfortably latest; up 6lb; stable is in cracking form and she looks a major player..
10th	8 10th (8) (80/1 -60%) Scots Gold	80 80/1(-60%)	(8) Scots Gold 80/1, 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Dan Skelton when eighth of 12 in novice hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) 39 days ago. Fair form on the Flat (tongue strap on for 1st time in this code here). Well beaten over hurdles on first run for this trainer; plenty to prove back in this code..

LTO Selection:

TARRAFF won with plenty to spare when gaining a breakthrough success on her handicap debut at Leicester last month and the three-year-old filly is fancied to shrug off a 6lb rise in the ratings to strike again. Valley Of Flowers travelled with more verve on her recent Ayr triumph and isn't taken lightly off 5lb higher in this contest, while Richard P Smith could unlock some untapped potential now upped to 1m4f and the son of Belardo is another to consider.

This is tougher than the race VALLEY OF FLOWERS won at Ayr but she has a host of good C&D efforts to her name and is chanced to go in again raised 5 lb. Don't Look Back, Ring of Beara and Richard P Smith are all dangers.

The filly TARRAFF has the potential to do better and, with the stable's runners in good form, she can back up her Leicester success.

First run for yard after leaving P. J. F. Murphy. Merits consideration. In good form on soft ground at the end of last season, uneven form this year, yard debut.

LTO Selection:

Even more competitive than the opening divide. Successful in first time blinkers at the Curragh recently, Magic Charm should go close in his attempt to follow up, while course and distance winner Stay Local, top-weight Hello Power and Tim Doyle's Special Protector are other leading hopes. For a selection, it might be worth siding with LITTLE JO. A nine-time winner in the UK, he had no luck in running when a never nearer fourth at Galway last month. The Major Cadeaux nine-year-old has been given a chance by the handicapper and is down 10lb since making his debut here in July. John McConnell trains the selection and is also represented by Dinamine, who is not without his chance. Init Together, Lucky Question and Flier are a few more for the shortlist, with the latter beaten by just three-parts of a length over this course and distance on her penultimate start.

LITTLE JO is running well and could be the way to go. Stay Local is respected back here under Conor Stone-Walsh, with old rival Flier another to note.

The ground will suit LITTLE JO who recorded the most recent of nine British wins on heavy going in the spring and is now on a fair mark

LTO Selection:

Hurricane Power and Honest Desire are the pick of those with experience but they could be vulnerable in a race of this nature. With that in mind, preference is for URESHII, who is a Too Darn Hot half-brother to Group 3-winning sprinter Sense Of Duty, and he represents a yard that can get one ready first time. Exceed Now also catches the eye as the first foal out of a mare who won a Group 3 over 6f as a juvenile. More Light and Mesaafi merit consideration too.

NEAPOLITAN's mid-field effort in a good Newmarket novice a month ago was a sound start and expected to build on that, he could be the answer. Hurricane Power's level is established but he warrants respect, with Exceed Now perhaps the pick of a reasonable bunch of newcomers.

Clearly the best form belongs to HONEST DESIRE and Hurricane Power but there is stacks of interest among the newcomers.

7th	2 7th (2) (66/1 +0%) Hope Hill	66 66/1(+0%)	(2) Hope Hill 66/1, £2,500 3-y-o, Sageburg gelding. Half-brother to high-class hurdler/chaser Yorkhill. Offered something to work on in Newcastle bumper in May. Some promise when sixth at Newcastle in May; may need more time.
8th	3 8th (3) (12/1 +25%) Wexford Park	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Wexford Park 12/1, £36,000 buy after finished placed on both starts in Irish points this spring. Third in two Irish points; bought for £36,000; may need jumps to be seen at his best.
9th	11 9th (11) (9/1 -38%) Macmolly	9 9/1(-38%)	(11) Macmolly 9/1, £27,000 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy filly. Closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Pique Rock and fair hurdler Blue Beach. Stable does well in this sphere and she makes plenty of appeal on paper. Some appeal on pedigree and good stable has decent bumper record.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 -100%) Ronster Monster	50 50/1(-100%)	(10) Ronster Monster 50/1, Peace Envoy gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including winner around 1¼m Destiny of Dreams. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Newcomer; stamina a cause for concern on breeding.

LTO Selection:

CANNOCK PARK only found one too good on his Rules debut in a similar event at Carlisle earlier in the year and the five-year-old could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. That said, Ridge Hill also went well on his racecourse bow in August and should not be underestimated, while Professor Higgins edges out Macmolly and Panhandle Slim to be best of the rest.

CANNOCK PARK ran well on his first go in this sphere at Catterick when last seen in March and gets the vote. Newcomer Macmolly is interesting, as is King of Answers.

The form and experience of CANNOCK PARK could make him hard to catch.

Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 5f winner), half-sister to useful winner up to 9.5f Ghaaly. One to consider. Enough to like on breeding and stable can get them ready first time, but drawn wide.

5th	9 5th (9) (125/1 -89%) Port Hedland	125 125/1(-89%)	(9) Port Hedland 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 7 in maiden at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 33/1) 19 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Still needs to take a step forward. Second start was a bit better than the first, but looks one for nurseries after this.
6th	12 6th (12) (11/4 -57%) Warsong	2.75 11/4(-57%)	(12) Warsong 11/4, Highly promising Night Of Thunder colt. Very green when fourth of 8 in minor event (11/8) at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago, missing break. Should do much better with that run under his belt. Interesting. Green when fourth on his Yarmouth debut; should have learned from the experience.
7th	3 7th (3) (7/1 +13%) Durham Castle	7 7/1(+13%)	(3) Durham Castle 7/1, Foaled March 9. 220,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey colt. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to useful 7f (minor US stakes) winner Cuvee Uncorked (third in US Grade 2 7f/1m events. Wears tongue strap. Considered debutant. Nice pedigree and stable has a fine record with 2yos first time out; tongue-tie on.
8th	11 8th (11) (8/1 +0%) The Line	8 8/1(+0%)	(11) The Line 8/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in minor event at Sandown (7f, soft, 10/3) 14 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Promising debut at Ascot in May, but well held at Sandown last month; needs to bounce back.
9th	4 9th (4) (200/1 -33%) Ginormous	200 200/1(-33%)	(4) Ginormous 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in maiden (18/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good) on debut 37 days ago. Beaten a long way on his Chepstow debut in August.
10th	2 10th (2) (33/1 -50%) Crafty Spirit	33 33/1(-50%)	(2) Crafty Spirit 33/1, Foaled February 16. Invincible Spirit colt. Dam, 6f/7f winner, half-sister to high-class sprinter Profitable (by Invincible Spirit). Noteworthy newcomer. Nice pedigree and stable often gets them ready first time but draw could have been kinder.
11th	10 11th (10) (125/1 -150%) Rothay Park	125 125/1(-150%)	(10) Rothay Park 125/1, Foaled March 21. 44,000 gns yearling, Showcasing colt. Brother to useful winner up to 6f Show Stealer and half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 7.4f Sir Maxi. Dam maiden. Worth a market check. Pedigree suggests he has a future, but stable not renowned for 2yo debut winners.
12th	7 12th (7) (15/2 +25%) Let's Get Em	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(7) Let's Get Em 15/2, Twice-raced maiden. 5/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Doncaster (8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Back down in trip with more needed. Promising second over 6f on debut but held over 1m next time; return to this trip may suit.

LTO Selection:

GIORGIO M showed plenty of ability to finish fourth at Wolverhampton on debut last week and the son of Profitable should have learned a great deal from that experience. The booking of William Buick hints he is fancied take a big step forward. Durham Castle, who has a tongue-tie fitted for his introduction, was a 220,000gns purchase as a yearling so any market support for him would be of interest. Fellow newcomer Jarraaf is another to keep an eye on.

WARSONG failed to live up to market expectations when fourth at Yarmouth on his debut but looked very green there and should have learned plenty. He can take a big step forward now and win a very open-looking novice. Giorgio M could emerge as the chief threat if, as expected, building on his encouraging debut Wolverhampton fourth, although there are clutch of newcomers with the potential to have a say too, including Moswaat, Jarraaf and Crafty Spirit.

The vote goes to GIORGIO M who performed better than the market suggested he would when fourth on his Wolverhampton debut.

1	6 1st (6) (4/5 +33%) Mischief Magic	0.8 4/5(+33%)	(6) Mischief Magic 4/5, Smart performer. Tongue strap on for first time, below form 7¼ lengths eighth of 13 to Shaquille in Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm, 33/1). Off 103 days (gelded) but in top hands and he's fancied to bounce back eased markedly in class. Group 3 winner over C&D as a 2yo; respected if back to anything like his best.
2	5 2nd (5) (28/1 -75%) Aramis Grey	28 28/1(-75%)	(5) Aramis Grey 28/1, Useful mare. C&D winner. Creditable third of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/1) 27 days ago, running on. Likely to give it a good go but wouldn't want to it to become tactical. 8-32 on the AW including two wins over C&D, but more will be needed in this company.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +9%) Misty Grey	5 5/1(+9%)	(4) Misty Grey 5/1, Smart gelding. 5/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 13 days ago. AW record is a positive one back over 6f. Better on AW than turf but not built on a promising return; this trip may be too sharp now.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 -133%) Brad The Brief	14 14/1(-133%)	(3) Brad The Brief 14/1, Smart gelding. 12 lengths eighth of 10 to King Gold in Prix Maurice de Gheest (30/1) at Deauville (6.5f, soft) 59 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on first time down markedly in grade. Dual Group-race winning sprinter; down in grade and could play a part; cheekpieces on.
5th	7 5th (7) (4/1 -14%) Never Just A Dream	4 4/1(-14%)	(7) Never Just A Dream 4/1, Useful colt. Tongue strap on for first time, below form 10 lengths fifth of 12 to Tuz in Al Shindagha Sprint at Meydan (6f, 28/1). Off 8 months. Makes polytrack debut. Booking of Doyle a plus. Useful Tapeta form as a 2yo, but needs to be at his best after eight months off.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/1 +0%) Desert Cop	11 11/1(+0%)	(1) Desert Cop 11/1, Useful gelding. C&D winner. Twenty-second of 24 in handicap (40/1) at Ayr (6f, good) 11 days ago. No easy task on these terms on the balance of his form but his AW record is a positive one. Two AW wins earlier in year; return to the AW may help and respected despite the penalty.

LTO Selection:

MISCHIEF MAGIC looks the class act in this field and he has been gelded since finishing eighth in the Commonwealth Cup. Last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint hero is rated 4lb clear of nearest rival Brad The Brief and should prove too good. Never Just A Dream returns from a break after finishing a respectable fifth at Meydan in February and he could fight it out for a place with Misty Grey.

A very useful conditions event with MISCHIEF MAGIC and Brad The Brief expected to fight it out given they drop down from Group 1 company. Marginal preference is for the Godolphin 3-y-o back from a break/gelding operation.

A few of these have something to prove, not least MISCHIEF MAGIC but he is favoured by the conditions and has won a Group 3 over C&D.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +25%) Elzaam Blue	3 3/1(+25%)	(1) Elzaam Blue 3/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Doncaster in July. Very good second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 7 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Solid second here last week; 1m perhaps optimal but a strongly run race over 7f is fine.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/3 +45%) Dionysian	3.333333 10/3(+45%)	(6) Dionysian 10/3, Course winner. Good third of 13 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 21 days ago. One to consider. Solid record here; this mark should be within range if things fall his way from stall 10.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 -60%) Deceiver	12 12/1(-60%)	(8) Deceiver 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner in March. 11/2, last of 9 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 158 days ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his return. Off for five months after Haydock flop; would want to see market strength from wide stall.
4	13 4th (13) (9/2 +0%) Surrey Noir	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(13) Surrey Noir 9/2, Firmly on the up since sent handicapping and he comfortably landed 10-runner event over C&D (11/10) 28 days ago. Up 7 lb but he's a big player. Clicked since gelded and fitted with cheekpieces over C&D; lightly raced and shortlisted.
5th	14 5th (14) (10/1 +38%) Starlight Nation	10 10/1(+38%)	(14) Starlight Nation 10/1, Winner at Leicester in June. 18/1, good third of 11 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Strong traveller; back in the groove latest; one to consider for a yard in decent form.
6th	12 6th (12) (18/1 -13%) Satin Snake	18 18/1(-13%)	(12) Satin Snake 18/1, 3-time C&D winner. 4/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 25 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Visor back on and can't be ruled out. Good record over C&D but was below market expectations here last time and this is stronger.
7th	9 7th (9) (8/1 +11%) Saturnalia	8 8/1(+11%)	(9) Saturnalia 8/1, Latest win at Lingfield in August. 9/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 18 days ago. Progressing recently so very much in the picture. Happier on the AW than turf; solid second last time and a fair chance he defies a 3lb rise.
8th	3 8th (3) (15/2 -15%) Dirtyoldtown	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(3) Dirtyoldtown 15/2, Twelfth of 16 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm, 20/1). Off 110 days. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Grant Tuer with more needed. Off for four months since three poor runs in the spring for Grant Tuer; watch the market.

11th	4 11th (4) (33/1 -65%) Sayifyouwill	33 33/1(-65%)	(4) Sayifyouwill 33/1, 4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 28 days ago so needs to get back on track. Four-time C&D winner, latterly off this mark in the spring; was in better form then though.
12th	2 12th (2) (80/1 -220%) See You Boy	80 80/1(-220%)	(2) See You Boy 80/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 13 in claimer (3/1) at Deauville (7.4f) 50 days ago. Has rejoined former yard with work to do. Been in France; has it to prove now from a wide stall and would want to see support.
13th	10 13th (10) (33/1 -65%) Magical Max	33 33/1(-65%)	(10) Magical Max 33/1, Latest win at Newmarket in June. 11/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Can go well again. Often misses the break and will again likely be reliant on some luck from stall 13.

LTO Selection:

Dionysian finished a close-up third in the Racing League at Southwell and he has to be respected off the same mark, but the vote goes to last week's C&D second ELZAAM BLUE. The Jamie Osborne-trained five-year-old appreciated the drop to this level when just failing to get up and he could go one better off the same rating. Surrey Noir and Crow's Nest are a couple of others to watch out for in an open contest.

SURREY NOIR's form is on an upward curve so he is fancied to make light of a 7 lb rise for his stylish C&D success and go in again. Elzaam Blue is weighted to have a big say and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Saturnalia, Satin Snake and Dionysian in a very competitive handicap.

A cracking handicap can go to SURREY NOIR, who's got it together over C&D since cheekpieces went on. Saturnalia is second choice.

2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 +17%) Behind The Scenes	5 5/1(+17%)	(1) Behind The Scenes 5/1, Course winner. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 13/2) 48 days ago. Firmly on the up and should put up another bold showing.

8th	9 8th (9) (6/1 -33%) Power Of Gold	6 6/1(-33%)	(9) Power Of Gold 6/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at York (7.9f, good to firm, 12/1) 40 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Drops back in grade with a visor fitted, so he's no forlorn hope.
9th	11 9th (11) (50/1 -213%) Lion Tamer	50 50/1(-213%)	(11) Lion Tamer 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fourth of 10 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, firm, 5/2). Off 113 days. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. Hood back on. Makes handicap debut. Hard to weigh up.
10th	5 10th (5) (28/1 +15%) Royal Pleasure	28 28/1(+15%)	(5) Royal Pleasure 28/1, Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (8f) 67 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Becoming well treated but not threatening to capitalise.

LTO Selection:

None of these look particularly well handicapped and while the likes of Behind The Scenes and Tiempo Star help to set a good standard, THEME PARK strikes as one with more to offer. Nigel Tinkler's three-year-old was just denied at York on his first start after being gelded, and he broke his maiden over 7f here last year so is proven on the surface. Tyndrum Gold is already a dual C&D winner and is feared most, while Gulmarg is another capable of going close.

BEHIND THE SCENES is progressive and still didn't look the finished article when landing a 7-runner event at Wolverhampton 48 days ago, so she's capable of going in again. Theme Park arrives on the back of a solid showing at York and looks a danger along with Tiempo Star, who is expected to return to form after a break.

The lightly raced BEHIND THE SCENES (nap) remains open to improvement having made it 2-2 on the AW last time and gets the vote.

Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 11/2) 15 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Operating below best at present and has the worst of the draw to contend with. Danger she'll race keenly once more in first-time headgear from the outside stall; risky.

LTO Selection:

A winner off 4lb lower on his first attempt over a mile, My Opinion appear likely to go well. However, that Chelmsford success came in a 0-52 band and this represents a sterner test, with RECUERDAME suggested as the preferred option. Having returned from a break to win over C&D, Simon Dow's gelding is still on a handy mark and a 4lb rise might not be enough to prevent back-to-back successes. Weloof and Wizarding complete the shortlist.

IBIZA ROCKS is on a career-low mark and took a step back in the right direction when third at Newcastle recently, so he's worth taking a chance on in an open race. Last-time-out winner My Opinion could progress again, so he's feared most, while course winner Wizarding is hard to rule out.

Maybe MY OPINION, who's clicked lately and found this longer trip fine at Chelmsford, will be able to defy a 4lb rise and follow up.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (11/1 +21%) Bankrupt	11 11/1(+21%)	(5) Bankrupt 11/1, 7¾ lengths eighth of 12 to Mintana in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Should be back on his game. Well short of his best when only 8th behind Mintana at Wolverhampton 11 days ago.
2	7 2nd (7) (10/1 +29%) Magicinthemaking	10 10/1(+29%)	(7) Magicinthemaking 10/1, 4-time course winner. 12/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D. Off 154 days. Dropped to a handy mark. Four-time course winner; has gone well fresh so not discounted from the inside stall.
3	3 3rd (3) (25/1 -56%) Reve De Magritte	25 25/1(-56%)	(3) Reve De Magritte 25/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 28/1) 11 days ago. Has work to do. Ex-French; promise at Haydock iast month but couldn't build on it last time.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 +30%) The Cola Kid	7 7/1(+30%)	(2) The Cola Kid 7/1, Bit below form seventh of 16 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 20/1) 18 days ago. Others make more appeal. Running well for much of the summer; could do with a good pace to aim at back on AW.
5th	8 5th (8) (7/1 +13%) No News	7 7/1(+13%)	(8) No News 7/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm, 16/1) 47 days ago. Others make more appeal. Exposed maiden but has shown winning potential, including here; one to consider.
6th	4 6th (4) (5/1 +0%) Gherkin	5 5/1(+0%)	(4) Gherkin 5/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, tenth of 11 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm) 28 days ago, slowly away. Others make more appeal. Dual C&D winner; chance on 2023 best but others preferred; widest stall to deal with.
7th	10 7th (10) (22/1 -120%) Bama Lama	22 22/1(-120%)	(10) Bama Lama 22/1, Latest win at Windsor in August. 5/1, last of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 30 days ago, very slowly away (rider was late to remove blindfold). Latest run is easily overlooked, so solid claims if she can get over from stall 11. Lower AW mark to exploit and she's been in good form this summer; tricky draw though.
8th	11 8th (11) (9/2 +18%) Suanni	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(11) Suanni 9/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 10/3) 9 days ago. Can go well. Went desperately close over 5f at Wolverhampton last week; chance if seeing out 6f so well.
9th	12 9th (12) (28/1 -12%) Global Acclamation	28 28/1(-12%)	(12) Global Acclamation 28/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Off 9 months, good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 10/3) 9 days ago. Needs to step forward from that faced with a quick turnaround. Infrequent winner; fair run on seasonal return but others stronger for win purposes.
10th	6 10th (6) (17/2 -6%) Mintana	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(6) Mintana 17/2, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 28/1) 11 days ago, pushed out. Worth considering. Won quite tidily at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and a 3lb rise might be manageable.
11th	1 11th (1) (20/1 -82%) Lethal Angel	20 20/1(-82%)	(1) Lethal Angel 20/1, Fourth of 6 in handicap (9/2) at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Should be suited by step back up in trip. Not found her very best form this year; others are more appealing.
12th	9 12th (9) (5/1 -11%) Lion Ring	5 5/1(-11%)	(9) Lion Ring 5/1, Remains a maiden after 33 Flat runs. Good second of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 8 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Enters calculations. Narrowly failed to land a gamble over 5f last week; change of headgear today; considered.

LTO Selection:

Suanni is a likely pace angle and, from a handy draw, he is a threat to all if his stamina holds out back over 6f for the first time this year. Mintana is also shortlisted after a surprise success over this trip off 3lb lower at Wolverhampton. However, a strong tempo would ideally suit Kempton regular MAGICINTHEMAKING, who is currently dangerously well handicapped in comparison to her peak form and a big run can be expected on her return.

SUANNI hasn't won for a while but came in for good support when touched off at Wolverhampton recently, so he's taken to go one better in a race he could dominate from a relatively low draw. Lion Ring is an obvious danger and Bama Lama is expected to put an excusable run behind her.

The Cola Kid should be arriving on the scene late but MINTANA is fancied to follow up her recent Wolverhampton success.
