1	3 1st (3) (9/4 +25%) Musical Slave		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(3) Musical Slave 9/4, Useful sort at his best but not scored since February 2023. Continues to plummet in the weights and got closer than for a while when fourth of 10 at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good) a fortnight ago and any cut in the ground would enhance his chance. Ran okay at Newton Abbot last month but this veteran is regressive and inconsistent.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/8 +27%) Galloping Pride		1.375 11/8(+27%)																															(4) Galloping Pride 11/8, Has reacted well to a visor when runner-up in 23f handicap chases at Worcester in recent months. Nudged up another 3 lb but it shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. Tongue tie added. Unexposed over fences and comes here after two creditable Worcester runs this summer.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 +58%) Wick Green		5 5/1(+58%)																															(1) Wick Green 5/1, Arrives with something to prove, finishing well held for a second successive start at Worcester (23f, good) in August. Mark eases 3 lb but needs to show more. In very good form last autumn but has lost his way this year.
4	5 4th (5) (33/1 -633%) Marettimo		33 33/1(-633%)																															(5) Marettimo 33/1, Back to winning ways in 3m handicap chase at Ludlow in April (2023) and posted solid placed efforts the last twice, latest when second at Warwick the following May. Off 16 months and others look better treated, though. Four-time chase winner; in good form when last in action, but that was spring 2023.
2	2 |PU| (2) (11/2 -100%) Sublime Heights		5.5 11/2(-100%)																															(2) Sublime Heights 11/2, Back on track back following a string of tame efforts when runner-up at his regular haunt, Plumpton (all 3 chase wins gained there), at the end of January. Offered little back there the following month but resumed winning ways when last seen at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) 6 months ago. Ended last season with small-field win but has a tendency to raze lazily; hard to predict.

MARETTIMO lost little in defeat when finishing a gallant second over an extended 3m1f at Warwick in May 2023, and he looks potentially well treated off a 2lb lower mark. Now returning from a lengthy break off his last winning mark, he looks the one to side with. Galloping Pride showed up well for a long way under a bold front-running ride before being worn down in the closing stages over 2m7f at Worcester in August, and he merits respect upped 3lb. Sublime Heights is also respected.

GALLOPING PRIDE has reacted well to the fitting of a visor in finishing runner-up on his last couple of starts so Emma Lavelle's 7-y-o is fancied to go a place better with a tongue tie added at the expense of Sublime Heights, who was last seen in winning action at Chepstow 6 months ago. Musical Slave isn't the force of old, but he got closer than for a while at Newton Abbot a fortnight ago so rounds off the shortlist.

The most obvious answer is GALLOPING PRIDE, who ran well in defeat in two Worcester chases this summer.

1	7 1st (7) (13/2 +7%) Mercian Warrior		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(7) Mercian Warrior 13/2, Still a maiden but has been threatening to break the duck recently, shaping well when runner-up at Bath last month. Worthy of respect under a promising young rider. Went close at Bath latest; unraced on testing ground; in the mix if backing up last time.
2	5 2nd (5) (17/2 -70%) Warning Sign		8.5 17/2(-70%)																															(5) Warning Sign 17/2, On a handy mark and has returned to form lately, finding one too good on each of his last three outings. Deserves plenty of respect. Versatile sort who has been runner-up under David Dunsdon over 1m-1m4f in last three races.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/2 +30%) Shaladar		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(1) Shaladar 7/2, On a long losing run but he posted another creditable effort when second at this course a month ago. Feasibly treated and expected to put up another solid showing. On 19-race losing sequence but fine second here last time and strong claims on that form.
4	12 4th (12) (9/2 +68%) Beau Jardine		4.5 9/2(+68%)																															(12) Beau Jardine 9/2, 4/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Epsom (7f, soft) 22 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Dropped to a handy mark but doesn't appear in the form to capitalise. Well beaten last time but soft ground suits and the first-time visor may give him a boost.
5th	9 5th (9) (33/1 -106%) Diffident Spirit		33 33/1(-106%)																															(9) Diffident Spirit 33/1, In good form early last year, successful at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) in April and finished runner-up on 2 of his 3 starts thereafter. Off 13 months ahead of low-key return at Wolverhampton and it's hard to know how much ability he retains. Remains to be seen how much ability he retains but he's suited by testing conditions.
6th	11 6th (11) (20/1 -25%) Willy Campbell		20 20/1(-25%)																															(11) Willy Campbell 20/1, Yet to get his head in front (0-8) and added to a sketchy turf record with a poor display at Newbury 14 days ago. Hard to fancy on this surface. Two good AW runs last month but well beaten at Newbury since; something to prove on turf.
7th	6 7th (6) (4/1 +33%) Dakota Power		4 4/1(+33%)																															(6) Dakota Power 4/1, Resumed winning ways in 4-runner handicap at Ffos Las in August and backed it up with a solid showing at this course last time. Likely to be on the premises again for all that others look better treated. Won at Ffos Las then fair third here; can give another good account.
8th	8 8th (8) (16/1 -33%) Jackson Street		16 16/1(-33%)																															(8) Jackson Street 16/1, Fairly useful maiden who ran well at Newcastle prior to an excusable run at Chelmsford last time. Not dismissed from fair mark. Made it 0-11 when disappointing last time but in good form previously and not written off.
9th	10 9th (10) (25/1 -56%) Crazy Luck		25 25/1(-56%)																															(10) Crazy Luck 25/1, Arrives on the back of a poor showing at Bath recently but he'd been in good order previously and has one of the more experienced riders on board. Patchy form since winning at Nottingham in May but she's now 6lb lower.
10th	4 10th (4) (12/1 -50%) Whenthedealinsdone		12 12/1(-50%)																															(4) Whenthedealinsdone 12/1, Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Not disgraced when third of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 30 days ago. Should strip fitter for that and could be on the premises. Unraced beyond 6f but kept on well over that trip last time (AW) and is not discounted.
11th	3 11th (3) (18/1 +10%) King Cabo		18 18/1(+10%)																															(3) King Cabo 18/1, Capitalised on a falling mark to give his rider a first winner at Lingfield in August. Not in the same form in more competitive events since, though. In good form on good going in August but below par on soft/heavy ground the last twice.
12th	13 12th (13) (25/1 +0%) Al Shabab		25 25/1(+0%)																															(13) Al Shabab 25/1, Placed 3 times from 5 starts for Andrew Balding at 2 yrs but nearer last than first all 5 outings in handicaps for present connections. Enduring tough 3yo campaign but glimmer of encouragement latest; could have part to play.
13th	14 13th (14) (25/1 -213%) Rabinal		25 25/1(-213%)																															(14) Rabinal 25/1, Tricky customer who likely benefited from the return to AW when scoring at Lingfield despite a poor position (stuck wide) last time. Probably more effective on that surface than turf and this is more competitive. Won on Lingfield AW last time but Polytrack seems to bring out the best in him.

Previous course winner WHENTHEDEALINSDONE was on the back of a short break when he finished a respectable third at Southwell last month. The six-year-old could be a surprise package upped in trip from a highly competitive mark, especially with cut in the ground not expected to be an issue. King Cabo should also appreciate the forecast going and commands respect given he has won on the all-weather from 3lb higher. Shaladar and Dakota Power are others for consideration.

BE FRANK has edged to a handy mark and has made a positive start for this yard so, following his strong-finishing fourth at Newmarket last time, he's worth taking a chance on. Warning Sign and Shaladar both make plenty of appeal as alternatives.

Topweight SHALADAR came clear with a progressive winner when runner-up on soft ground here last time and can go one better.

1	7 1st (7) (85/40 +23%) Magical Arthur		2.125 85/40(+23%)																															(7) Magical Arthur 85/40, Shaped well in first-time cheekpieces when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f, good, 5/1) 33 days ago. Remains unexposed as a stayer. 0-10 but he's unexposed as a stayer and was runner-up at Worcester latest; respected.
2	12 2nd (12) (14/1 +30%) Dequall		14 14/1(+30%)																															(12) Dequall 14/1, Lazy sort who made it clear he wasn't on a going day at Perth (23.9f, good to firm) 92 days ago, early reminders and tailing off before 3 out. Near-miss over C&D in May but disappointing in both runs since and last win was in 2021.
3	8 3rd (8) (17/2 +6%) Ange Endormi		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(8) Ange Endormi 17/2, Shaped as if retaining the bulk of his ability when third in 7-runner handicap hurdle (4/1) at Cartmel (25.4f, heavy) 39 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Missed 2023 but he ran well at Cartmel in August and is respected back in trip.
4	1 4th (1) (15/2 -15%) Jeteye		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(1) Jeteye 15/2, C&D winner in June who wasn't disgraced in a first-time visor when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f, good, 9/1) 46 days ago. One to consider. Won over C&D in June but he's finished down the field in both subsequent runs.
5th	11 5th (11) (22/1 +12%) Iturgeon Du Breuil		22 22/1(+12%)																															(11) Iturgeon Du Breuil 22/1, Showed improved form when placed at Ayr and Hexham on first 2 handicap starts but finished well held at Perth (23.9f, good, 28/1) 48 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Still lightly raced but form has slumped in last two runs and needs to get back on track.
6th	5 6th (5) (3/1 -9%) Santa Clarita		3 3/1(-9%)																															(5) Santa Clarita 3/1, Gained a first win in Britain in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester in September, albeit in fortunate circumstances (left in front last). Seemingly undone by a 7-lb rise in the weights when third in a similar event back there since but should remain competitive. Looked fortunate when winning at Worcester and was held under penalty there next time.
7th	3 7th (3) (50/1 -100%) Twoplacesatonetime		50 50/1(-100%)																															(3) Twoplacesatonetime 50/1, Went with no encouragement making his handicap debut after 5 months off when pulled up at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Enough to prove. Unexposed under rules but was pulled up on his handicap debut at Perth (2m4f) last month.
8th	9 8th (9) (9/2 +44%) Wotyoudunnow Buddy		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(9) Wotyoudunnow Buddy 9/2, Winner of a selling event here in May and returned to a similar level when 3 lengths second of 14 to Jeteye in C&D handicap in June. Runner-up behind Jeteye over C&D when last seen in June; dangerous on his return.
9th	2 9th (2) (22/1 -120%) Balkotic		22 22/1(-120%)																															(2) Balkotic 22/1, C&D winner who ran poorly after 12 weeks off at Sedgefield (27f, good) 11 days ago. Blinkers back on. C&D winner but he's hard to predict and was tailed off 11 days ago; risks attached.
10th	10 10th (10) (40/1 -21%) Famous Response		40 40/1(-21%)																															(10) Famous Response 40/1, Ran no better than on his return in a first-time visor when last of 9 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (25.4f, good to soft, 22/1) 96 days ago. Others preferred. Won a point in May but he's struggled in both runs back over hurdles since; opposable.
4	4 |PU| (4) (25/1 -285%) Pop The Question		25 25/1(-285%)																															(4) Pop The Question 25/1, Winning pointer who caused something of a surprise when making a successful debut under Rules in 2m4f Hexham maiden in June. However, that was a weak race and she's had her limitations exposed on both starts since. Upped in trip for handicap bow. Course winner and she needs watching in market now upped to 3m on handicap debut.
6	6 |PU| (6) (100/1 -300%) Colonel Manderson		100 100/1(-300%)																															(6) Colonel Manderson 100/1, Revived in first-time blinkers to cause a surprise over C&D in September 2023. Pulled up next 2 starts, however, and offered little in a brace of points in March. C&D win last September but pulled up in three of his four runs since; needs big turnaround.

Pop The Question won on his only start here over 2m4f in June, and although beaten twice since, the step up in trip may see improvement as a point-to-point winner over three miles. Jeteye drops in class and warrants plenty of respect as a course and distance winner, but SANTA CLARITA may be the one. A beaten favourite at Worcester over this trip last month, connections persevere and clearly think her stamina is not the issue.

MAGICAL ARTHUR shaped well in a first-time visor when second at Worcester last month and remains unexposed as a stayer, so he's an appealing candidate. Santa Clarita and Jeteye head up the opposition.

Last month's Worcester runner-up MAGICAL ARTHUR is still unexposed as a stayer and he gets the vote ahead of Ange Endormi.

1	16 1st (16) (7/1 -40%) Hollow Spark		7 7/1(-40%)																															(16) Hollow Spark 7/1, 80/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at this course (14f, good to soft) on flat debut 31 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles and enters calculations if back on her A-game. Fine effort at Bellewstown on latest start over hurdles, leading claims off 1lb higher.
2	5 2nd (5) (16/1 -100%) Ballycommon Chapel		16 16/1(-100%)																															(5) Ballycommon Chapel 16/1, 6/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 58 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Standout effort at Wexford in July, hasn't backed that up since, others preferred.
3	10 3rd (10) (4/1 +60%) Dream Escape		4 4/1(+60%)																															(10) Dream Escape 4/1, 40/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, soft) 62 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles with work to do. Dual-purpose; 0-6 over hurdles, hasn't shown much in handicaps, hard to make a case for.
4	1 4th (1) (15/2 +6%) Morepowertoya		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(1) Morepowertoya 15/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, below form eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Tramore (16.6f, good) 16 days ago. Has a good chance on pick of form. Winner off 91 in April, struggled on last three starts, may be in the handicapper's grip.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 -20%) Sandyman		9 9/1(-20%)																															(3) Sandyman 9/1, Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft, 7/2) 14 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Can make presence felt. Flat winner, 0-6 over hurdles, beaten favourite last twice, tongue tied, can't discount.
6th	15 6th (15) (11/2 +45%) Great Rainbow		5.5 11/2(+45%)																															(15) Great Rainbow 11/2, Below form fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Ballinrobe (22.4f, soft) 39 days ago. Down in trip with more needed. Promise at Punchestown in May off 1lb higher, new trip and ground could suit, outrun odds.
7th	11 7th (11) (17/2 +15%) Grizabella		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(11) Grizabella 17/2, Winner in hurdle at Wexford in July. 10/1, good sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Booking of Jordan Gainford a plus so she's a player. Winner off 80 at Wexford in July, ran okay over C&D in a maiden hurdle, each-way chance.
8th	6 8th (6) (9/1 -29%) Knocknagoran Lady		9 9/1(-29%)																															(6) Knocknagoran Lady 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good, 66/1) 21 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to progress. Mild promise in maiden hurdles; handicap debutante is worth a market check.
9th	14 9th (14) (80/1 -142%) Quarry Lady		80 80/1(-142%)																															(14) Quarry Lady 80/1, 100/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.6f, good) 16 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Huge odds and well beaten in six maiden hurdles, needs to improve for handicaps, watch.
10th	2 10th (2) (66/1 -725%) Redcliff Glen		66 66/1(-725%)																															(2) Redcliff Glen 66/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 66/1) 145 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve. Makes handicap debut for shrewd yard, check the market.
11th	4 11th (4) (16/1 +60%) Esticky End		16 16/1(+60%)																															(4) Esticky End 16/1, Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 66/1) 7 days ago, slowly away. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Unreliable individual. Flat winner, not much promise on handicap hurdle debut at Tramore, needs more.
12th	13 12th (13) (12/1 +76%) Sovereign Duke		12 12/1(+76%)																															(13) Sovereign Duke 12/1, Tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Cork (18.4f, good to soft) 60 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Joseph Hanlon. Dual-purpose, lost form since good effort in May 2023, new yard, needs a revival.
13th	12 13th (12) (50/1 -100%) Storm Steps		50 50/1(-100%)																															(12) Storm Steps 50/1, Unreliable sort. Nineteenth of 20 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Galway (16.7f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Four-time flat winner, blinkers replace hood for handicap bow, could improve, check market.
14th	9 14th (9) (9/1 -80%) Cailin Aibrean		9 9/1(-80%)																															(9) Cailin Aibrean 9/1, 22/1, very good third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Ought to be thereabouts. Improved for handicaps, third off this mark on latest, claims in first-time cheekpieces.

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

---

CAILIN AIBREAN has shown more promise of late and, with first-time cheekpieces added, she has the potential to find enough improvement to take command of a race of this nature. Grizabella, the winner of a similar event at Wexford in June, appeals as the chief danger from just 5lb higher. Sandyman also holds scope to improve on just his seventh start over hurdles and is a must for consideration on that basis. Ballycommon Chapel and Hollow Spark complete the shortlist.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and GRIZABELLA is fancied to resume winning ways on the back of her good Kilbeggan sixth with Jordan Gainfod now in the saddle. Sandyman is also weighted to have a say and rates next best ahead of Redcliff Glen and Morepowertoya.

Preference is for CAILIN AIBREAN who has shaped nicely on her last two starts and the first-time cheekpieces could make the difference.

1	3 1st (3) (7/2 -56%) Reach For The Moon		3.5 7/2(-56%)																															(3) Reach For The Moon 7/2, Smart Flat winner who struck at the fourth attempt in this sphere with a decisive display at Worcester (2m, good) in July. Probably has more to offer as a hurdler and he needs considering. Came good over hurdles with unchallenged win at Worcester in July; likely contender here.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/8 +61%) King William Rufus		1.375 11/8(+61%)																															(2) King William Rufus 11/8, Opened hurdles account at the sixth attempt when making all in a Plumpton maiden (2m, good to soft) in March. Subsequent second in a big-field conditionals' handicap under Freddie Gordon was no backward step and he will be a danger to all if tuned-up following a break. In good form in the spring and has strong claims here if ready to roll after break.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/2 -75%) Hell Hound		3.5 7/2(-75%)																															(1) Hell Hound 7/2, Runner-up in an Irish point and left his bumper debut form well behind when taking a 16-runner event at Ludlow in April. Followed that with a winning hurdles debut upped to 20.4f at Southwell (soft) and this 5-y-o is open to improvement. Won on hurdle debut in June but the form is nothing special; more will be needed here.
4	10 4th (10) (33/1 -175%) Luna Effect		33 33/1(-175%)																															(10) Luna Effect 33/1, Some fair efforts on the Flat when in the care of Roger Varian but he hasn't fired in 3 starts for this yard and is probably worth taking on starting out over hurdles here. Below best on the Flat for new stable this summer and now 0-14 in that sphere.
5th	7 5th (7) (80/1 -471%) Tarbaan		80 80/1(-471%)																															(7) Tarbaan 80/1, Four-time winner on the Flat but hasn't shown much spark this year and he's probably best watched on hurdles debut. Fairly useful on the Flat at his best but out of form when last seen in June.
6th	5 6th (5) (80/1 -220%) Getoverthathill		80 80/1(-220%)																															(5) Getoverthathill 80/1, No show on sole start in Ireland in 2021 and while he landed a maiden point the following year, there were no positives to glean from his comeback run starting out for this yard in a 19f maiden here last month. Wide-margin Irish point winner in 2022 but returned with poor hurdle run here last month.
7th	6 7th (6) (13/2 +54%) Summer In Milan		6.5 13/2(+54%)																															(6) Summer In Milan 13/2, Third sole start between the flags and showed ability on Rules debut when fourth of 10 in a 19f Cork bumper (heavy) in April. Should have a future in this sphere and it'll be interesting to see how he fares in the betting in relation to his stablemates, particularly King William Rufus. Placed in Irish point and fourth in Irish bumpers; bought for 30,000euros in the spring.
8th	11 8th (11) (100/1 -300%) Mutley Crew		100 100/1(-300%)																															(11) Mutley Crew 100/1, Twice-raced maiden and much better effort when third of 14 in novice hurdle here (18.5f, good) in August. Needs to raise her game. Kept on for modest third in Newton Abbot maiden in August; needs to improve again here.
9th	9 9th (9) (50/1 -317%) Cher Monsieur		50 50/1(-317%)																															(9) Cher Monsieur 50/1, Out of a dual French hurdles winner in France and placed both completed starts in points. Needs a second look in the betting on Rules debut, albeit Hell Hound is presumably the stable No 1. Placed in two Irish points in the spring and was bought for £25,000 in the spring.
4	4 |F| (4) (10/1 +70%) Dish Of The Day		10 10/1(+70%)																															(4) Dish Of The Day 10/1, Hinted at ability sole outing in bumpers but he hasn't pulled up any trees in 2 starts over hurdles so far and is probably more one for handicaps in due course. Ran well to a point on hurdling debut but absent since pulled up at Ludlow in January.
10th	8 10th (8) (40/1 +20%) The Brickey Ranger		40 40/1(+20%)																															(8) The Brickey Ranger 40/1, Winning pointer who made a sound start to Rules career when runner-up in a hunter at Tramore in April. However, he was safely held on hurdles debut for Ryan Potter at Uttoxeter in June and has since changed yards again. Promising in points/hunter chase in Ireland in the spring but made low-key hurdle debut.

REACH FOR THE MOON had a subsequent winner back in third when running out a comfortable winner over 2m at Worcester in July, and he gets the vote to bring up the double. Hell Hound looked a smart prospect when winning well over an extended 2m4f at Southwell when last seen, and he should remain competitive, while King William Rufus doubtless has the ability to play a hand in a race like this if on a going day.

It's probably best to concentrate on the three previous winners, headed by HELL HOUND, who did the job well when scoring on his hurdling bow at Southwell and he should have more to offer. That remark also applies to Reach For The Moon and he is feared most ahead of King William Rufus.

Reach For The Moon dominated a Worcester maiden in July but KING WILLIAM RUFUS brings some robest handicap form into this race.

1	5 1st (5) (5/2 -43%) Hutchence		2.5 5/2(-43%)																															(5) Hutchence 5/2, Has reacted well to headgear, winning twice over 1½m in blinkers before a good third in a warm 3-y-o handicap at Haydock (1¾m) in a visor last time. Shapes as if this step up to 2m will be in his favour. Leading claims. 3yo who stayed on for third over 1m6f last time; open to further improvement now at 2m.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 +13%) True Legend		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(1) True Legend 7/2, Useful staying handicapper who has largely run well with defeat this year, including third over C&D in July. Not beaten far when ninth at Glorious Goodwood last time and big player back in slightly calmer waters. Running well in defeat this term; in the mix if handling the going (unraced on soft/heavy).
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 -20%) Wonderful Eagle		4 4/1(-20%)																															(3) Wonderful Eagle 4/1, Prolific since joining this yard, including a 2m Goodwood win in August. Followed that with a Newton Abbot hurdle success a fortnight ago and respected in his bid for a cross-code hat-trick. Bang-in-form 5yo who handles testing ground and could play another leading role.
4	6 4th (6) (5/2 +62%) Maxident		2.5 5/2(+62%)																															(6) Maxident 5/2, Heavy-ground novice winner in spring 2023 and placed in staying handicaps on soft/heavy this spring. A little below his best when beaten 10 lengths into second at Ripon last Saturday but still has to enter the reckoning if ground conditions remain testing. Twice went close in the spring on testing ground and he could make a bold bid.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 -43%) Wind Your Neck In		10 10/1(-43%)																															(4) Wind Your Neck In 10/1, Best effort this year when neck second at Chester (2m, heavy) in June. Respectable fourth on a much quicker surface there last time and considered with ground conditions likely to be more in his favour this time. Not at his best on good going the last twice but his 3 wins have come on soft/heavy ground.
6th	2 6th (2) (33/1 -136%) Officer Of State		33 33/1(-136%)																															(2) Officer Of State 33/1, Useful 15f winner on the Flat in France for Andre Fabre. Failed to make an impact in 3 hurdle outings for current yard last winter and off for 7 months ahead of this return to the Flat. Would need to see market support to consider. Hasn't shone over hurdles for this yard but won on the Flat in France last October.
7th	7 7th (7) (80/1 -186%) Monsieur Lambrays		80 80/1(-186%)																															(7) Monsieur Lambrays 80/1, Temperamental sort. Twenty runs since last win in 2020. 33/1, last of 6 in handicap at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) on reappearance in June. Off again since. Plenty to prove from 3 lb out of the weights. Well treated on C&D near-miss in May 2023 but has struggled to get competitive since.

TRUE LEGEND is unexposed over 2m and, having finished a commendable third in a deeper race on his only previous try over C&D, the Sir Mark Prescott-trained four-year-old could be up to giving weight and a beating to the opposition. Maxident can make this tough for the selection if he is allowed an easy time on the front end, while Hutchence also rates a player with the longer trip a potential source of further progression.

Sole 3-y-o HUTCHENCE tends to come off the bridle early but it's hard to knock his record since headgear has gone on and he shapes as if this step up to 2m will suit. Wind Your Neck In saves his best efforts for the mud and is second choice ahead of True Legend.

The step up to 2m could be ideal for the progressive 3yo HUTCHENCE and he earns the vote ahead of Wind Your Neck In.

1	4 1st (4) (5/6 +58%) Kingston James		0.833333 5/6(+58%)																															(4) Kingston James 5/6, Successful on his completed start in points and made a winning start under Rules in straightforward fashion at Ayr (2m, good) in March, making all. By no means disgraced when fourth of 10 at Kelso next time and he could be a factor if his jumping passes the test now switched to hurdles. Point winner; sold for £30,000gns; won an Ayr bumper in March; chance on hurdles debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 +17%) Rock On Jet		5 5/1(+17%)																															(5) Rock On Jet 5/1, Runner-up both starts in points and shaped better than distance beaten suggests in a Cork bumper on sole start for Ms M. M. Gannon. Again showed ability when third in a 12-runner C&D novice (soft) on hurdles debut in May and he should have a future in this sphere. Runner-up in two Irish points; fair third over C&D on hurdles debut; one to consider.
3	6 3rd (6) (15/2 -50%) Shadow Chaser		7.5 15/2(-50%)																															(6) Shadow Chaser 15/2, Successful on the most recent of his half-a-dozen starts in points and shaped well when third of 12 on Rules debut/sole start for John Gleeson in a Cork bumper (19f, heavy) during the spring. Interesting to see how he gets on now switched to hurdles for new yard. Irish point winner; good third in a bumper at Cork last time (2m3f); hurdles debut.
4	7 4th (7) (14/1 +30%) Some Bro		14 14/1(+30%)																															(7) Some Bro 14/1, Placed a couple of times between the flags but his sole run under Rules in a Punchestown bumper resulted in a heavy defeat. Beaten 62l on previous hurdles run; fair form in points since; 13,000euros buy in April.
5th	3 5th (3) (80/1 +20%) Forest Blaze		80 80/1(+20%)																															(3) Forest Blaze 80/1, Bumper debut fourth at Newcastle wasn't completely devoid of promise but he was beaten a long way switched to hurdles later that month. Modest efforts in a bumper and over hurdles and others look stronger.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 -233%) Ankud		4 4/1(-233%)																															(1) Ankud 4/1, Cosy winner on handicap debut for Gordon Elliott at Sligo (17.4f, good) in July and while he failed to build on that at Ballinrobe next time, he will have every chance if able to get back on track starting out for new connections here. 10,000gns buy (ex-Gordon Elliott); Sligo h'cap hurdle winner; chance back in a novice.
7th	2 7th (2) (125/1 -150%) Danno's Dollar		125 125/1(-150%)																															(2) Danno's Dollar 125/1, Little impact both starts in bumpers for Sandy Thomson and offered little on hurdles/yard debut at Newcastle in March. One of 3 representing this yard. Ex-Sandy Thomson; fair bumper run on debut but not as good since (last time over hurdles).

Mark Walford seems keen to win this contest, with three of the seven declared in his care, and Irish point-to-point second Some Bro seems the most interesting of them if he is ready to go after seven months off. He might prove the biggest danger to KINGSTON JAMES, with the point-to-point and bumper winner looking for a successful debut over hurdles after a good fourth in a Kelso bumper when last seen in May. Rock On Jet may prove best of the rest in an interesting race.

KINGSTON JAMES showed plenty in a couple of bumpers earlier this year and he is an appealing alternative to likely favourite Ankud now switched to hurdles. The latter is the one to beat on the strength of his breakthrough success in a Sligo handicap in the summer and is a much-respected main danger ahead of fellow Irish recruit Shadow Chaser.

The choice is ROCK ON JET, who ran well for a long way when third here on his hurdles debut. Kingston James also has sound claims.

1	12 1st (12) (10/1 +29%) Good Bye Milan		10 10/1(+29%)																															(12) Good Bye Milan 10/1, One win from 21 NH runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, bit below form ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.4f, good) 16 days ago. Back down in trip and others make more appeal. 1-18 over hurdles; not disgraced in last two runs, drop in trip a plus, could go well.
2	2 2nd (2) (20/1 +0%) Queenofthelodge		20 20/1(+0%)																															(2) Queenofthelodge 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Galway (22.4f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Back down in trip and she's hard to warm to. Well-beaten in trio of maiden hurdles, no impact on handicap bow, may need more time.

Cheekpieces back on and this 6-y-o is high on the shortlist. In form, placed at Downpatrick the last twice, drop back in trip could suit, big chance.
4	7 4th (7) (11/1 -38%) Vairue		11 11/1(-38%)																															(7) Vairue 11/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Down Royal (16.9f, good) 35 days ago and others make more appeal from a win point of view. Off 680 days after Thurles win, 1lb higher now, strip fitter for latest, can't discount.
5th	14 5th (14) (25/1 +38%) Rene Artois		25 25/1(+38%)																															(14) Rene Artois 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 10 in maiden claimer at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft, 100/1) 2 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles (pulled up on latest start in this sphere). 0-5 over hurdles, beaten 9.25l in a 1m Flat claimer on Wednesday, hard to fancy.
6th	10 6th (10) (15/2 -50%) Mayos Vendangeur		7.5 15/2(-50%)																															(10) Mayos Vendangeur 15/2, Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 12/1) 30 days ago. Place possibilities. Maiden getting the hang of things over hurdles, promise last two runs, each-way claims.
7th	3 7th (3) (15/2 +0%) Mr Macphisto		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(3) Mr Macphisto 15/2, Only twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.9f, good to soft, 22/1) 35 days ago but merits consideration with that run under his belt. Won off 86 at Navan last September, may need another run or two to hit top form.
8th	6 8th (6) (15/2 +46%) Onebrightbluerose		7.5 15/2(+46%)																															(6) Onebrightbluerose 15/2, Winner at Wexford in July. 33/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (18f, good) 12 days ago. Needs to ger back on track. Wexford winner off 83 in July, poor last three runs, may need more help from the assessor.
9th	8 9th (8) (15/2 -88%) Lilian Bland		7.5 15/2(-88%)																															(8) Lilian Bland 15/2, Fair winner over fences. 8/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap chase at Clonmel (20f, good) 119 days ago. Enters calculations back hurdling off an attractive mark. Chase winner is 0-11 over hurdles, well beaten last start in this sphere, may need rain.
11	11 |F| (11) (80/1 -100%) Mrs Wemyss		80 80/1(-100%)																															(11) Mrs Wemyss 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Hooded for 1st time, twelfth of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (21.4f, good, 150/1) 16 days ago. Down in trip for this handicap debut. Handicap debutante, hood worn last time discarded, related to winners, check market.
10th	4 10th (4) (11/2 +8%) Royal Time		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(4) Royal Time 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, good eighth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) 151 days ago. Each-way chance if able to build on that here. Best effort on latest when encountering good ground for the first time, check the market.
11th	1 11th (1) (40/1 -300%) A Year Older		40 40/1(-300%)																															(1) A Year Older 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 14 in novice hurdle (125/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good) 42 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and significant step forward needed. Handicap debutant, no show in two maidens and a novice, check the market.
12th	5 12th (5) (50/1 +0%) Youghalvalley		50 50/1(+0%)																															(5) Youghalvalley 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 18 in novice hurdle at Listowel (22f, good, 150/1) 12 days ago. Down in trip and first-time cheekpieces enlisted for this handicap debut. No impact in maidens, cheekpieces on and down in trip for handicap bow, hard to fancy.

A tentative vote goes to MAYOS VENDANGEUR, who was unlucky at Kilbeggan when slightly hampered after the last on her most recent outing. The current form of her stable is a big plus, and the five-year-old gets the vote ahead of Init Together, who has run with plenty of credit on each of his last two starts over further at Downpatrick. A winner over fences at Thurles in March, Lilian Bland looks as though she may be suited by dropping back in trip, while Vairue has strong claims on the form of his success at the same track two starts ago.

LILIAN BLAND is 0-11 over hurdles but she is of interest back in this sphere on the strength of her form over fences earlier this year, particularly her Thurles success off a 3 lb higher mark in March. Init Together has to be feared on the back of solid placed efforts at Downpatrick the last twice, while Mr Macphisto is entitled to come on for his recent reappearance spin and he is also shortlisted.

INIT TOGETHER is one of the few that comes into this in any sort of form and this could be his day with the drop back in trip a plus.

1	1 1st (1) (2/9 +84%) Rogue King		0.222222 2/9(+84%)																															(1) Rogue King 2/9, Fair winner on the Flat at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in June. Has made a positive start to hurdling, building a promising debut to readily open his account at Plumpton last time, and he could have enough to defy the penalty. Won easily by 11l at Plumpton last month and commands respect under penalty.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/2 -17%) Golden Path		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(4) Golden Path 7/2, Made the frame in a couple of Flat maidens for Kevin Phillippart de Foy and created a good impression when making a winning hurdling/stable debut at Newton Abbot in June. Stopped quickly where next time but has had a break since and can't be written off. Newton Abbot winner in June; disappointing odds-on favourite there the following month.
3	7 3rd (7) (40/1 -60%) Path Of Stars		40 40/1(-60%)																															(7) Path Of Stars 40/1, Well beaten in a AW Flat maiden for the Crisford stable in May and no show so far over hurdles. Looked a handful on Flat debut and has not shown much on first two hurdling attempts.
4	5 4th (5) (40/1 +20%) Surfer Dude		40 40/1(+20%)																															(5) Surfer Dude 40/1, Modest maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 11.5f), mid-division last time. Up against it on hurdling bow. Modest maiden on the Flat; will be fine stamina-wise but still makes only limited appeal.
5th	6 5th (6) (50/1 +24%) Dont Blame Tequila		50 50/1(+24%)																															(6) Dont Blame Tequila 50/1, Looks limited on the Flat and makes little appeal starting out in this sphere. Came last when 250-1 for 9.4f AW novice on debut in December.
2	2 |PU| (2) (33/1 +0%) Bajan New Moon		33 33/1(+0%)																															(2) Bajan New Moon 33/1, Offered little in 3 Flat runs for David Evans last year. Took to hurdling when third at Hexham (2m, soft) in June but hasn't reproduced that form since. Tried in cheekpieces. Close third of five in weak race on hurdling debut; soundly beaten three times since.

GIVE IT TO ME OJ has shown a fair level of ability on the Flat this summer and, on his hurdles debut for a yard who are no strangers to success with horses of a similar profile, the son of Time Test gets the vote. Rogue King impressed when running out an easy winner over an extended 2m1f at Plumpton recently and it would be no surprise if he were to emerge as the main danger to the selection. Already a winner over hurdles, the unexposed Golden Path is also considered.

ROGUE KING had loads to spare when scoring at Plumpton 12 days ago and he's worth a chance to overcome the penalty for all that Give It To Me Oj is a notable recruit to this sphere based on both his Flat form and connections. Golden Path can also feature if she gets back on track.

Give It To Me Oj was quite useful on the Flat but preference is for the proven hurdling ability of easy Plumpton winner ROGUE KING.

7	7 (7) (2/1 +64%) Lady Chauntee		2 2/1(+64%)																															(7) Lady Chauntee 2/1, Cracksman filly. Dam 11.5f-1¾m winner who stayed 2½m. Plenty of stamina in the pedigree and yard's debutantes certainly warrant a second look on debut. Useful standard needed on debut but yard in good form & there's plenty of appeal on paper.
1	3 1st (3) (3/1 -71%) Russian Crescendo		3 3/1(-71%)																															(3) Russian Crescendo 3/1, Knew more than on her debut and got off the mark after 2 months off in 8-runner novice at Kempton (12f) last month, scoring with a bit in hand. In top hands and she's open to further improvement now switched to turf. Won at Kempton last month on second start and could have plenty more to offer.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/4 +25%) Fireblade		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(4) Fireblade 9/4, Frankel gelding who offered something to work on amidst greenness when fifth of 7 in novice at Kempton (12f) on debut 18 days ago, needing the emphasis more on stamina. Entitled to progress. Half-brother to Cracksman; could be considerably sharper for last month's debut experience.
3	5 3rd (5) (14/1 -300%) Wendrock		14 14/1(-300%)																															(5) Wendrock 14/1, Manduro gelding who has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and offered something to work on at unflattering odds when third of 8 in novice at Hamilton (11.1f, heavy) on debut 6 weeks ago. Should do better in time. No match for first two on Hamilton debut; hindsight reveals he faced a very tough task.
4	1 4th (1) (66/1 -450%) Kansas Du Berlais		66 66/1(-450%)																															(1) Kansas Du Berlais 66/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler who found the test inadequate under speed-favouring conditions when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, good) 5 months ago. Makes Flat debut and this presumably a pipe opener before a return to obstacles. Fairly talented two-time hurdle winner; suspicion he'll be vulnerable on first Flat start.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/1 +30%) Stavvy		7 7/1(+30%)																															(2) Stavvy 7/1, Fair bumper performer who won maiden event at Southwell in February. Out of depth and possibly amiss when pulled up in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f, heavy) when last seen 6 months ago and now makes Flat debut (has had a wind op). Heavy-ground bumper winner who is not ruled out on his Flat debut.
6th	6 6th (6) (150/1 -200%) Blonde Arrow		150 150/1(-200%)																															(6) Blonde Arrow 150/1, Tailed off in maiden/novice 11 weeks apart. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line. Well beaten at sizeable odds on both starts (1m3f/1m4f, AW).

RUSSIAN CRESCENDO looked an interesting work in progress when she scored decisively at Kempton last month, which was a marked improvement from her racecourse bow and created the impression she has plenty more to offer. As both Wendrock and Fireblade need to find improvement from their respective debut runs, the well-bred newcomer Lady Chauntee, whose dam was a Listed winner in France, could be the one to give the selection the most to think about.

RUSSIAN CRESCENDO derived plenty from her debut to score with a bit in hand at Kempton last month and with further progress on the cards, William Haggas' filly can follow up at the expense of Fireblade, who offered something to work on amidst greenness at that same track last month and should take a step forward here. Wendrock can edge out debutante Lady Chauntee for third.

The filly RUSSIAN CRESCENDO did it nicely at Kempton last month on her second start and is taken to defy a penalty and follow up.

1	4 1st (4) (17/2 -6%) The Churchill Lad		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(4) The Churchill Lad 17/2, Haydock winner over hurdles in December and has been shaping up quite nicely over timber despite typically pulling hard. Lot depends on how he takes to chasing. Not bred for fences but has been back in good form over hurdles lately.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +20%) Caithness		4 4/1(+20%)																															(2) Caithness 4/1, Comfortable all-the-way winner of maiden/handicap over hurdles at Kelso this time last year. Bit hit-or-miss over timber since but looks the type to make up into a better chaser, Third in competitive handicap hurdle on latest start in May; makes chasing debut here.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/2 +44%) Dream Jet		2.5 5/2(+44%)																															(5) Dream Jet 5/2, Fair hurdler who opened his chase account at Market Rasen in July, overcoming a slipping saddle. Good efforts since, most recently when third of 5 at Sedgefield on Tuesday. In the frame all three starts since breakthrough chase win in July; won't be far away.
4	3 4th (3) (6/4 -88%) Beat Box		1.5 6/4(-88%)																															(3) Beat Box 6/4, Improved out of all recognition for Dan Skelton, completing the 4-timer in 5-runner handicap at Worcester 18 days ago, finding extra. No surprise were he to shrug off latest 6 lb rise. 4-4 and in superb form for Dan Skelton this season; makes obvious appeal in current mood.
5th	1 5th (1) (15/2 +6%) Ip Up		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(1) Ip Up 15/2, Fair hurdler/chaser in France who won 2m handicap hurdles at Fakenham and Newcastle upon joining this yard. Looked in the grip of the handicapper to end the campaign and he may just need this after 6 months off returned to the larger obstacles. Did well over hurdles last season (3 wins) and has French chasing experience to call upon.

BEAT BOX appears to have scared off some of the early entries and faces just the four rivals here. A revelation since switching yards and being sent back over fences, the eight-year-old has won all four starts including an easy success at Worcester last month. Upped 6lb for that win, he has been dropped in class and remains difficult to oppose. Caithness looks interesting ahead of his chasing debut, as does Dream Jet, who has experience on his side after nine starts over fences.

BEAT BOX has been the latest inmate to have been transformed by Dan Skelton and there's no real desire to oppose him in his quest for the 5-timer. Dream Jet is likely to give his running again but a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of chase-debutant Caithness.

There is no strong temptation to oppose BEAT BOX, who has been in superb form for his new yard and can extend his winning spree.

1	2 1st (2) (5/6 +49%) Lot Of Joy		0.833333 5/6(+49%)																															(2) Lot Of Joy 5/6, Useful hurdler. 12/1, respectable twelfth of 22 in handicap at Leopardstown (13f, good) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Leading claims. Consistent in premier handicaps; looks to have a good opportunity here back over flights.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/10 +12%) Royal Hollow		1.1 11/10(+12%)																															(4) Royal Hollow 11/10, Promising sort who is on a hat-trick after easy all-the-way wins at Ballinrobe and Bellewstown this summer. Should go well again. Won Ballinrobe maiden hurdle and a Bellewstown mares hurdle in impressive fashion; claims.
3	5 3rd (5) (28/1 -40%) Amanha		28 28/1(-40%)																															(5) Amanha 28/1, Fair hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Roscommon in August. 8/1, 37¾ lengths seventh of 8 to Royal Hollow in minor event hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) 37 days ago. Well held behind Royal Hollow at Bellewstown and looks up against it here.
4	1 4th (1) (16/1 -220%) Calico		16 16/1(-220%)																															(1) Calico 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser. Well-beaten fifth of 7 to Brides Hill in Gr 2 chase at Punchestown (20.2f, soft, 22/1) 154 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Down in trip. Consistent sort; back over hurdles here in a winnable race if she was close to her best.
5th	3 5th (3) (80/1 -60%) Maggie Walsh		80 80/1(-60%)																															(3) Maggie Walsh 80/1, Modest hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Tramore in June 2023. Sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft, 9/4). Off 13 months. Plenty to find on form. Dual hurdles winner; not seen since August last year and best watched on her return.

Lot of Joy has been busy on the Flat this summer without success for Willie Mullins and has a single win from six starts over hurdles. Gordon Elliott's Calico may have her measure, assuming she is at her best on her first start since a Punchestown fifth in May. Both can go well, but ROYAL HOLLOW has easily won her last two starts over hurdles and may surprise them both for trainer Andrew Slattery.

Quite a useful mares' event. LOT OF JOY arrives fit from the Flat and can deny Andrew Slattery's improving 6-y-o Royal Hollow a hat-trick.

Preference is for ROYAL HOLLOW, frustrating in bumpers but has turned it around over hurdles and can complete the hat-trick

1	5 1st (5) (4/6 +67%) Stream Of Stars		0.666667 4/6(+67%)																															(5) Stream Of Stars 4/6, Quickly matched his fairly useful Flat form over hurdles and all the more encouraging he made light of a huge absence (33 months) to assert late on to land 5-runner handicap hurdle here (19.1f) 26 days ago. Of interest provided this doesn't come too quick. 2m3f course winner last month, after a mammoth absence; could still be well handicapped.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/3 +33%) Trolley Boy		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(4) Trolley Boy 10/3, 6-y-o who was steadily progressive when last seen, winning at Ludlow (15.7f) in spring of last year before good placed efforts at Worcester/Cartmel in summer 2023. Remains less exposed than most but the betting could well prove the best guide after 15 months off. Absent since close third in valuable Cartmel handicap last summer; watch the market.
3	1 3rd (1) (33/1 -633%) West To The Bridge		33 33/1(-633%)																															(1) West To The Bridge 33/1, Exploits mixed during a light 2023/24 campaign but very much caught the eye when fourth on his final outing in 8-runner handicap at Bangor (19.5f, heavy) in March, finishing with running left. Returns with his yard in good form and he's respected. Good servant to connections over the years but would appeal much more on soft/heavy ground.
4	2 4th (2) (11/2 -144%) Enthused		5.5 11/2(-144%)																															(2) Enthused 11/2, Most likeable sort who resumed progress to record a sixth win in this sphere in 8-runner handicap at Plumpton (2m) 12 days ago, leading final 100 yds. Looks sure to go well again under a penalty. Career-best form when winning at Plumpton recently; 3lb wrong under penalty here, though.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 -38%) Feel The Pinch		9 9/1(-38%)																															(3) Feel The Pinch 9/1, Prolific since joining present stable, producing an effort right up there with his best when adding to his tally at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in July. Seemed to find the rise in class too much when tenth in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen later that month and this more suitable. Not at best last time but has generally done very well for this stable; one to consider.

STREAM OF STARS returned from 986 days off the track to reward his patient connections with a smooth success over 2m3f here last month. Nigel Twiston-Davies' nine-year-old might have been let off lightly with only a 6lb rise for that victory and he could prove tough to beat. Enthused struck in commanding style in this grade at Plumpton last time and has to be respected, despite his 7lb penalty. Of the remainder, West To The Bridge makes the most appeal.

STREAM OF STARS represents a stable in fine form and made light of a huge absence (33 months) to make a winning return over further here 26 days ago. He's narrowly selected to come out on top from his revised mark, in the hope this doesn't come too soon. West To The Bridge very much caught the eye on his final start of last season and he, along with the highly admirable Enthused head up the dangers.

Bottomweight STREAM OF STARS (nap) travelled smoothly before fending off a spirited challenge from the runner-up here last month.

1	3 1st (3) (13/8 +59%) Subsequent		1.625 13/8(+59%)																															(3) Subsequent 13/8, Progressive sort who proved well suited by the step up to 1¾m when seeing off 4 rivals at Newmarket last month. Continued the good work when close second in the Mallard at Doncaster and he looks worth a shot at this level. Progressive in handicaps at about 1m6f and he's respected now up in grade.
2	5 2nd (5) (13/2 +19%) Allonsy		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(5) Allonsy 13/2, Has thrived since the application of cheekpieces and switch to front-running tactics, completing the 4-timer at Salisbury last month. This is a different ask but dam excelled over this trip and her limit hasn't yet been reached. 4-4 in the cheekpieces (in h'caps); something to find but may well have more in the tank.
3	2 3rd (2) (22/1 -120%) Pappano		22 22/1(-120%)																															(2) Pappano 22/1, Wolverhampton novice winner on second start in April and back on the up when doubling his tally returned to the AW at Southwell, well ridden. In top hands but this demands a lot more out of handicap company. Won AW handicap last month and every chance he'll continue to progress for top yard.
4	1 4th (1) (11/4 -47%) Go Daddy		2.75 11/4(-47%)																															(1) Go Daddy 11/4, Has progressed into a very useful performer this year, finishing placed in the King George Handicap at Royal Ascot (firm) before going down by only ¾ length in French listed race in July. Placed in Group 3 company the last twice and that puts him right in the mix. Third in Group 3 German St Leger last time and holds leading form claims today.
5th	4 5th (4) (3/1 -71%) Tabletalk		3 3/1(-71%)																															(4) Tabletalk 3/1, Found the Derby all too much but back on track with his sights lowered, relishing the increase in trip when landing the valuable Melrose Handicap at York. That is just about the best form on offer here and there should be more to come from him. Won the Melrose Handicap at York and he's a strong contender if handling conditions.

Having finished third on his last two starts in Group company, including the Geoffrey Freer on his penultimate start, GO DADDY can take advantage of a drop in class on this occasion. The son of Scat Daddy has run creditably on heavy ground before, and he can regain the winning thread at the main expense of the progressive Subsequent, who was narrowly denied in the Mallard Handicap at Doncaster last time out. A comfortable winner of the Melrose on just his fifth career outing, Tabletalk is another key player if handling conditions.

TABLETALK cranked it up a notch when landing the Melrose Handicap, and smart after just 5 career starts, there should be plenty more to come from him. Go Daddy can call upon placed form at a slightly higher level than this so he demands respect, while Allonsy's ceiling has yet to be ascertained.

This could go to the highly progressive filly ALLONSY, whose pedigree provides optimism she'll be up to today's tougher assignment.

1	11 1st (11) (6/5 +47%) Instant Gambler		1.2 6/5(+47%)																															(11) Instant Gambler 6/5, Made a very good start to his chase career last month, scoring twice at Fontwell. Cruised 10 lengths clear last week and a 7 lb penalty shouldn't stop him if in similar form. Two out of two over fences, both at Fontwell, latest by 9l; penalised 7lb; contender.
2	1 2nd (1) (14/1 -40%) Sean Og		14 14/1(-40%)																															(1) Sean Og 14/1, Successful twice over fences at Cartmel (21f) this summer but unable to continue the good work when down the field at Kelso 16 days ago. Below-par latest (made bad mistake); won two chases at Cartmel this summer; chance.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 -150%) Steps Match		10 10/1(-150%)																															(2) Steps Match 10/1, Came good at the first time of asking for new trainer Daragh Bourke when a convincing all-the-way winner of a 3m Perth handicap hurdle last month. Placed over fences in Ireland earlier in his career. Ex-Irish; won 3m h'cap hurdle on stable debut last time; experienced chaser; contender.
4	12 4th (12) (40/1 -150%) No Promises		40 40/1(-150%)																															(12) No Promises 40/1, Point winner. Tried in cheekpieces/tongue tie and showed his first form under Rules from 9 lb out of the weights when taking third in 27.5f Stratford handicap chase in August. Needs to back that up. Decent third with headgear in handicap chase last time; same headgear; each-way chance.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 +36%) Macavity		9 9/1(+36%)																															(6) Macavity 9/1, Bumper winner. Yet to score over jumps but placed in staying handicap chases at Uttoxeter and Perth this summer. Held back by mistakes when well held at Worcester last time. Point/bumper winner; placed twice in h'cap chases this summer; below-par latest; exposed.
6th	3 6th (3) (3/1 +57%) Defence Witness		3 3/1(+57%)																															(3) Defence Witness 3/1, Fair bumper winner was placed on first 2 outings over hurdles. A little disappointing that he hasn't made more of an impact in handicap hurdles since but this point winner could fare better now chasing. Winning pointer; won a bumper and placed in 3 hurdles; a possible on chase debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -450%) So Be It		66 66/1(-450%)																															(8) So Be It 66/1, Long-standing maiden (including in points) but he did run one of his better races when 14 lengths second over C&D when last seen in June. Place claims if resuming in similar form. Maiden; fair second in C&D handicap chase last time; each-way chance.
8th	5 8th (5) (9/1 -13%) Lady Mendoza		9 9/1(-13%)																															(5) Lady Mendoza 9/1, Modest hurdler but was competitive in handicaps from this sort of mark and a point win at the start of her career provides hope she'll be at least as effective over fences. Respected for a yard with recent winning form in this race. Point winner; maiden over hurdles (9l fourth to Steps Match latest); chase debut.
10	10 |PU| (10) (12/1 0%) Somebody's Fortune		12 12/1(0%)																															(10) Somebody's Fortune 12/1, Made a winning handicap hurdle debut at Kelso in May. Not in anything like the same form at Perth in July but a point background provides hope she'll take to chasing after 3 months off. Visor off, cheekpieces back on. Won mares h'cap hurdle in May; not so good next time; chase debut; others stronger.
9	9 |PU| (9) (25/1 -178%) Grand Du Nord		25 25/1(-178%)																															(9) Grand Du Nord 25/1, Placed twice over hurdles in spring 2023 but lightly raced and little impact since, including a course chase when last seen in June. Good jockey booking but his claims still aren't obvious. Won bumper here in 2021; well beaten two starts over fences this summer; others preferred.
7	7 |PU| (7) (40/1 +0%) Toucan Sam		40 40/1(+0%)																															(7) Toucan Sam 40/1, Modest maiden chaser who was placed twice 3 times in May (including C&D) but has lost his form since. Bounce back needed. Placed in 2 hunter chases and a h'cap chase in May; not so good since; others stronger.
4	4 |PU| (4) (100/1 -614%) Hey Brother		100 100/1(-614%)																															(4) Hey Brother 100/1, Modest form in varied events under Rules but did end his time with Jedd O'Keeffe with a creditable second in a Uttoxeter handicap chase in June. First run for Barry Murtagh after a £5,500 sale in July. Bought £5,500 in July; good 2nd in h'cap chase last time; could go well on stable debut.

INSTANT GAMBLER landed a double over fences at Fontwell with plenty left in the tank. He carries a 7lb penalty for that success, but is due to be raised by a further 7lb in the future and the hat-trick beckons for Alexandra Dunn's progressive chaser. Sean Og had been steadily improving over the larger obstacles before failing to recover from an early blunder at Kelso and isn't out of this with a clear round, while Hey Brother is going the right way over fences based on his second at Uttoxeter last time.

A race which to some degree revolves around INSTANT GAMBLER who is 7 lb well-in under a penalty for last week's comfortable Fontwell success. The chief threat may come from chase newcomers Lady Mendoza, whose stable landed this race in 2022, and Defence Witness, both of whom won in the pointing field at the start of their career.

Although Instant Gambler is the one to beat it could pay to take him on with STEPS MATCH who won over hurdles at Perth last time.

Switches from Flat to hurdles and he will need to raise his game in order to take this. Mid-division in a Flat handicap at Down Royal on Monday; could get into the frame.

Solid chance. Up 2lb for Ballinrobe run but has an each-way chance if she can repeat.
4	7 4th (7) (20/1 +0%) Sequoiaspirit		20 20/1(+0%)																															(7) Sequoiaspirit 20/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. Respectable ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good, 12/1) 37 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good once more. Soundly beaten since runner-up in a Listowel handicap hurdle in June; others preferred.

6th	3 6th (3) (28/1 +44%) Cougar		28 28/1(+44%)																															(3) Cougar 28/1, Course winner. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good, 9/1) 37 days ago. Opposable. Beaten 52l on latest hurdle start at Bellewstown in August; needs a revival.
7th	14 7th (14) (7/1 +13%) Tullyveery Lad		7 7/1(+13%)																															(14) Tullyveery Lad 7/1, C&D winner. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Downpatrick (23.5f, good to soft, 7/2) 14 days ago, holding on gamely. Switches from chase to hurdles and he has to enter calculations. Reverts back to flights after scoring over 2m7f over fences at Downpatrick; should go well.
8th	16 8th (16) (20/1 -43%) Only One Plan		20 20/1(-43%)																															(16) Only One Plan 20/1, 7/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago, pushed out. 5 lb rise could be enough to find him out here. Should be okay over the extra trip here and be competitive off a 5lb higher mark.
9th	8 9th (8) (4/1 +27%) Walk Away Harry		4 4/1(+27%)																															(8) Walk Away Harry 4/1, 8/1, sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20.6f, soft) 44 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time visor sparking improvement. Surely much better than last run at Sligo so an improved run is expected; visor tried here.
10th	11 10th (11) (16/1 -146%) Elusive Prince		16 16/1(-146%)																															(11) Elusive Prince 16/1, Bit below form fourth of 14 in novice hurdle (2/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Back up in trip and while he could have a part to play, one or two of these could prove too strong. Disappointed in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last time but can run well if he can bounce back.

A winner of his maiden hurdle at Tipperary in May, TOOR KHOV could be well handicapped off 116. The runner-up, who has won twice subsequently and is now rated 126, gives the form a particularly strong look. Although dropping back half-a-mile is an obvious concern, the Margaret Flynn-trained gelding is of obvious interest. Twice successful over fences, The Big Chap reverts to hurdling off a 13lb lower mark. Having finished third in a Listed handicap chase at Killarney recently, the Paul Flynn-trained seven-year-old will find this easier. Walk Away Harry has to be considered if the ground remains on the quick side. Wearing a first-time visor, the Charles Byrnes-trained gelding is undoubtedly well handicapped over hurdles.

This looks very competitive indeed. The vote goes to the 4-y-o SPINNING WEB, who shaped well on his first start over hurdles for the best part of a year at Tipperary where he would've gone close but for a bad mistake at the second-last. Toor Khov landed a maiden at that course on his latest start in May and, similarly unexposed in this sphere, he is second choice ahead of Park of Kings and recent chase winner Tullyveery Lad. Missus Beeton completes the shortlist.

It might just pay to side with PARK OF KINGS, a dual winner last year coming here after a decent run at Galway in July

Well beaten both starts in handicaps in Ireland this year but has made a very interesting yard switch ahead of his return and he could be worth chancing up significantly in trip. Regressive in five starts in Ireland; longer trip a big doubt on stable/AW debut.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Sandown (10f, good) 16 days ago, laboured headway final 1f and never on terms. Step back up in trip needs to have positive effect now eased back down in class. Unplaced in five starts, but has shown ability; trip may suit; worth a second look.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 +14%) Love Safari		6 6/1(+14%)																															(4) Love Safari 6/1, Shaped much better than he had been doing for Charlie Johnston tried in a visor after 7 weeks off when seventh of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago, faring best of those held up. Up in trip. Fancied to go close on just his second all-weather start. 0-8 but has twice only just been beaten including over C&D; may yet be capable of better.
4	8 4th (8) (40/1 -300%) Jamih		40 40/1(-300%)																															(8) Jamih 40/1, Back-to-back winner of handicaps at Catterick/Thirsk in August and having edged back up the weights, he ran respectably when sixth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good) 18 days ago. Others rate stronger back on all weather, however. Well held in both starts since winning twice on turf in August; best watched for now.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/2 -25%) Kinetic		2.5 5/2(-25%)																															(3) Kinetic 5/2, Thrived upon joining this yard, making it 4 wins from last 5 starts when landing 9-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 4/1) 8 days ago, readily. Big shout turned out quickly under a penalty. Record since joining this yard is 211141; no telling how much progress she still has left.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 +20%) Polar Princess		8 8/1(+20%)																															(6) Polar Princess 8/1, C&D winner. 16/1, not disgraced behind a pair of 3-y-os when third of 4 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 35 days ago. Now operating 5 lb below her last winning mark but she could well be vulnerable again for win purposes. Sole win in 19 starts came over C&D from 5lb higher; can't be completely dismissed.
7th	2 7th (2) (10/1 -67%) Southern Voyage		10 10/1(-67%)																															(2) Southern Voyage 10/1, C&D winner. 17/2, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago, losing place before rallying gradually. No forlorn hope. C&D winner back off last winning mark; could go well back at this trip.
8th	5 8th (5) (40/1 -700%) Royal College		40 40/1(-700%)																															(5) Royal College 40/1, Fair form when third in maidens at Hamilton (9f) and Windsor (1¼m) prior to a lesser effort when sixth of 7 in novice at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Bounce back not ruled out now handicapping over this longer trip. Placed in two of three starts on turf; open to progress up in trip on handicap/AW debut.

Kinetic made it four wins from six starts since joining the James Owen yard at Southwell on her latest outing and she holds an obvious chance again. However, it may pay to side with ROYAL COLLEGE, who showed promise on his first two starts at Hamilton and Windsor before disappointing at Beverley last time. Charlie Johnston's three-year-old now takes a step up in trip and might be able to defy his opening mark of 70. Polar Princess completes the shortlist.

Having displayed fairly useful form as a 3-y-o, SECTARIUS was below his best in a pair of handicaps in Ireland earlier this year. However, he's made a very interesting yard switch ahead of his return and could just be worth chancing to bounce back before the benefit of market clues. Thriving mare Kinetic and Love Safari are other likely players.

It's hard to oppose the rapidly improving KINETIC in her current mood and she is taken to make it 5-7 since joining James Owen.

1	2 1st (2) (85/40 +23%) Lord Of Cheshire		2.125 85/40(+23%)																															(2) Lord Of Cheshire 85/40, Lightly-raced hurdler who bagged his third win in 19f handicap at Warwick in November. Has followed that with a couple of solid efforts in defeat (fell at the final flight at Sandown) but not so good when last of 10 at Kempton (21f, soft) in February. Sure to be well prepared for this chase bow. 3-9 over hurdles; off since below-par run in February but still of interest on chase debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 -90%) Jupiter Du Gite		3.333333 10/3(-90%)																															(1) Jupiter Du Gite 10/3, Not straightforward but proved more tractable switched to fences, runner-up on debut in this sphere at Hereford prior to going one better in good style at Uttoxeter in March. Brushed aside back there 3 weeks later and off since but he's in the right hands. Headstrong front-runner; hard to catch on his good days but has very mixed record.
3	4 3rd (4) (2/1 +43%) Duhallow Tommy		2 2/1(+43%)																															(4) Duhallow Tommy 2/1, Proved to be a different proposition switched to fences following a wind op last term, winning 3 times (at up to 19.8f) at Plumpton and finding further improvement when second of 7 at Newbury. Tame effort at Kempton in April but he can get back on track this season. Took well to chasing in early part of this year; further progress is possible this season.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 -45%) Midnight Jewel		4 4/1(-45%)																															(3) Midnight Jewel 4/1, Enhanced his superb strike rate returned to the larger obstacles when making all in 5-runner handicap over C&D 4 weeks ago. Seen to good effect that day but 4 lb rise won't prevent another very bold bid. Gamely made all over C&D last month and now 4-8 over fences.

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

Midnight Jewel made every yard of the running to score by a neck over C&D last month and he is expected to mount a bold bid off 4lb higher. However, he might come out second best to LORD OF CHESHIRE, who ran too bad to be true when finishing last at Kempton most recently. If the son of Diamond Boy can reproduce the level of form that he produced in his two starts at the back end of last year at Warwick and Haydock, he could be the one to beat. Duhallow Tommy can beat Jupiter Du Gite in the battle for third.

DUHALLOW TOMMY ended last season with a disappointing effort but he'd progressed very nicely over fences prior to that so he's taken to regain the winning thread on reappearance. Midnight Jewel will attempt to make his fitness edge on the field count and is very dangerous if allowed to get into a rhythm.

In a tricky race the safest option is probably match-fit 8yo MIDNIGHT JEWEL, who held on well when making all over C&D last month.

1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +47%) Holkham Bay		4 4/1(+47%)																															(3) Holkham Bay 4/1, Is enjoying a very good year and scored at York and here in June. Posted a solid seventh of 22 in Portland at Doncaster last time so can't be ruled out. Close seventh in the Portland; needs bigger run today but he excelled here in August.
2	8 2nd (8) (17/2 -31%) Garfield Shadow		8.5 17/2(-31%)																															(8) Garfield Shadow 17/2, Enhanced his good strike rate from the front at Chester (6f) in July and ran a cracker when third of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good) 20 days ago. Can go well again nudged up 1 lb. Won at Chester in July and close 3rd the next twice; this 3yo may still have more to offer.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 -100%) Ferrous		14 14/1(-100%)																															(6) Ferrous 14/1, Has taken his form up a level this term, going in at Wolverhampton and Kempton. Fair fifth of 12 back at Kempton (6f) 27 days ago so he can't be discounted. Back to form with AW fifth last month (denied a clear run) and might not be far away.
4	7 4th (7) (66/1 -65%) Wodao		66 66/1(-65%)																															(7) Wodao 66/1, Listed winner in Ireland for Donnacha O'Brien but he failed to build on a good Goodwood third for his new yard in the Portland at Doncaster, no impression and well held. Needs to take a big step forward. Well beaten in the Portland but showed spark previously; well served by testing ground.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 -83%) Commanche Falls		11 11/1(-83%)																															(1) Commanche Falls 11/1, Has yet to score in 2024 but comes here in decent nick, first home in his group when sixth of 25 in Ayr Gold Cup 13 days ago. Cheekpieces replace blinkers and in the mix once more. Creditable sixth of 25 in the Ayr Gold Cup a fortnight ago and could be in the mix.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 -67%) Baradar		10 10/1(-67%)																															(5) Baradar 10/1, Course winner who got back on track in first-time blinkers when fourth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Must enter calculations. Close fourth in these blinkers at Ripon last Saturday and may be able to build on that.
7th	10 7th (10) (14/1 -40%) Palmar Bay		14 14/1(-40%)																															(10) Palmar Bay 14/1, Back to winning ways at Windsor in July but he came in last of 16 in handicap there (6f, good to firm) 53 days ago. Has a bit to prove now. Flopped in August last time but won prior to that and this 3yo retains potential.
8th	4 8th (4) (4/1 -20%) Rohaan		4 4/1(-20%)																															(4) Rohaan 4/1, Smart sprinter and a 5-time C&D winner, including in this 12 months ago. Failed to confirm earlier promise when nineteenth of 25 in Ayr Gold Cup last time out but he's worth another chance back here. Inconsistent this year but has a good record here and won this race last season.
9th	9 9th (9) (14/1 +0%) Wobwobwob		14 14/1(+0%)																															(9) Wobwobwob 14/1, Scored at Thirsk in May and comes here in good nick, seventh of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Haydock (6f, heavy) 6 days ago when doing too much too soon. Needs considering. Soundly beaten at Haydock last Saturday but on a competitive mark and not discounted.
10th	2 10th (2) (11/4 +45%) Never So Brave		2.75 11/4(+45%)																															(2) Never So Brave 11/4, Dual 7f winner in early summer and took his form up a notch when second of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 10/11) 43 days ago. Firmly in the picture with this return to 6f likely to suit. 3yo with two wins this year (7f/7.5f); could be suited by sprinting.

ROHAAN may have disappointed in the Ayr Gold Cup last time out, but he is better judged on his penultimate effort when a fast-finishing third over C&D. The son of Mayson is now 8lb lower than his success in the race last year and is on a dangerous mark. Garfield Shadow, who came from off the pace when a promising third in a valuable handicap over 7f on Irish Champions weekend, is likely to enter calculations, while Never So Brave and Baradar cannot be ruled out either.

This is wide open but Richard Fahey's GARFIELD SHADOW signalled he's ready to go in again when a fine third at Leopardstown last time so edges the vote. Never So Brave promises to be suited by this drop back to 6f and could emerge as the main danger, although handily-weighted duo Rohaan and Baradar can also have a say. Top-weight Commanche Falls completes the shortlist.

Last year's winner ROHAAN has a good record here and, having dropped to an attractive mark, can land back-to-back runnings.

1	2 1st (2) (2/1 +71%) Florida Dreams		2 2/1(+71%)																															(2) Florida Dreams 2/1, Grade 2 bumper winner who made up into a fairly useful novice hurdler, successful at Ayr in December. Fair run in the Scottish Champion Hurdle when last seen and remains with potential. Smart in bumpers; quite useful over hurdles, but held by Cracking Rhapsody on Ayr form.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/1 +21%) Salsada		11 11/1(+21%)																															(6) Salsada 11/1, Useful Flat winner placed twice in 2m handicap hurdles in March but little to write home about since, soon beaten back on the level in 3-runner affair 3 weeks ago. Well treated if bouncing back. Useful hurdler 2 seasons ago; not as good last term; on a good mark; could bounce back.
3	4 3rd (4) (14/1 +13%) Well Educated		14 14/1(+13%)																															(4) Well Educated 14/1, Plenty of winning course form and ran well behind Ashington at Kelso (21f) last time, not seen to best effect caught wide throughout. This is tougher. Suited by good ground but has finished behind Ashington on two of his last three starts.
4	1 4th (1) (15/2 -200%) Cracking Rhapsody		7.5 15/2(-200%)																															(1) Cracking Rhapsody 15/2, Enjoyed a fine novice campaign, winning 3 times, including a C&D event and a cracking renewal of the Morebattle handicap at Kelso. Splendid run when third in the Scottish Champion Hurdle handicap when last seen and looks one to follow this term. Progressive last season, winning 3 and finishing 3rd in Scottish Champion Hurdle; chance.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 -118%) Coastguard Station		12 12/1(-118%)																															(5) Coastguard Station 12/1, Thriving earlier this year and produced another career-best effort to resume winning ways in 2m Uttoxeter handicap chase in June. Lightly raced over hurdles in recent years and figures off lower mark reverted to that sphere here. Has won two of last 3 races over fences and gone up 11lb; hurdle mark unchanged; contender.
6th	7 6th (7) (15/8 +25%) Got Grey		1.875 15/8(+25%)																															(7) Got Grey 15/8, Big improver for new yard in recent weeks, winning 2m handicaps at Stratford and Bangor and underlining just how far he's come in no time at all despite finishing second in valuable Market Rasen contest on Saturday. Good chance he's still ahead of his mark. In good form for Dan Skelton this term (two wins and a good second); 4lb well in; chance.
7th	3 7th (3) (8/1 -100%) Ashington		8 8/1(-100%)																															(3) Ashington 8/1, Capitalised on a falling mark at Cartmel in July, seeing off Well Educated, and back to winning ways with a game display at Kelso (21f) a fortnight ago. Still well treated on peak form after 3 lb rise. Has won two of last three over hurdles, suited by good ground and one with a chance.

Placed in the Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr in April, Cracking Rhapsody returns to action with a shout on that form. Coastguard Station reverts to hurdling 5lb lower than when winning over fences at Uttoxeter in June and can also feature, but GOT GREY has the more recent form. The five-year-old found only the progressive Saint Riquier too good when upped in class at Market Rasen last week and another bold bid is anticipated off his current mark.

The 5-y-os bookending the weights are the interesting ones, with the promising CRACKING RHAPSODY taken to start his second campaign over hurdles with a bang with victory. Dan Skelton's Got Grey ran a screamer in a valuable contest at Market Rasen on Saturday and is probably still ahead of his mark. Florida Dreams is another to consider.

As he is 4lb well in after being put up for his good second at Market Rasen last Saturday, GOT GREY (nap) should prove hard to beat.

Switches from Flat to hurdles (ran poorly on last hurdling outing). Others make more appeal. Ran okay in a handicap hurdle at Cork in May but well beaten twice since.

Type to bounce back quickly. Mid-division in a mares handicap hurdle at Listowel last week; others preferred.

First run since leaving Anthony McCann when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft, 66/1) 14 days ago, going in snatches.

Tongue strap on for 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Little to recommend from three maiden hurdle runs; tongue-tie tried for his handicap debut.
10th	8 10th (8) (7/1 +22%) Duty Bound		7 7/1(+22%)																															(8) Duty Bound 7/1, Fairly useful winner at 14f on flat. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Listowel (14.2f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Scored over fences when last seen in this code and is on the same mark over hurdles. Some form over flights before winning a handicap chase at Wexford a couple of weeks ago.

Galway runner-up IN FOR THE NIGHT can go one place better. The six-year-old, who had finished third on his previous start at Ballinrobe in August, looks to be running into form. Stepping back up to this trip for the first time since his third outing in maiden company should also suit. A winner over fences at Wexford on his penultimate start, Duty Bound is 7lb lower over hurdles. Having run a solid race on the Flat at Listowel recently, the Kingman gelding should have every chance. Happy Dreams is a definite contender if fit enough on his first start since March. The Michael McDonagh-trained seven-year-old, who is a four-time winner over fences, is nicely treated off an 18lb lower mark over flights.

IN FOR THE NIGHT ran a cracker at Galway last time and the longer trip is unlikely to be an issue, so he's fancied to go one better. Ah Remy Martin is another big player and Duty Bound makes some appeal returning to hurdling from a potentially lenient mark.

Preference is for IN FOR THE NIGHT(nap), possibly unlucky in defeat at Galway last month and should take the beating if he stays

Dual winner but was well held on nursery debut at Sandown last time; others preferred.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/2 +21%) Chuti Manika		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(5) Chuti Manika 11/2, Confirmed debut promise when winning at Catterick in July. That race worked out quite well but he was disappointing when seventh of 9 in nursery at Haydock (7f, good) 29 days ago. In rear on nursery debut latest but the slow ground may have been an issue; not ruled out.
6th	6 6th (6) (4/1 -45%) Tiete		4 4/1(-45%)																															(6) Tiete 4/1, Yet to win a race but going the right way, showing improved form when second of 10 in nursery at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago despite meeting some trouble. Makes tapeta debut and looks a major player with cheekpieces on. Runner-up in both nurseries including behind a subsequent winner last time; respected.
7th	7 7th (7) (18/1 -50%) Eighteen Fourteen		18 18/1(-50%)																															(7) Eighteen Fourteen 18/1, Showed improved form when off the mark at Redcar in June. Didn't get much of a run when ninth of 13 in nursery at York (6f, good to soft) 83 days ago and now up in trip switched to the AW. Had traffic issues in a York nursery; now steps up to 7f and he's one to keep an eye on.

LESLEY'S BOY failed to fire when only managing ninth at Newmarket in August, but he may have blown his chance away before the start that day after giving his rider problems on the way to the post. If the son of Kodi Bear builds on his success at Ripon two starts ago, he could prove tough to beat. Tiete has hit the crossbar on both of her nursery starts and she now sports first-time cheekpieces, so it will be no surprise to see her get involved. Del Ray is pick of the remainder.

This looks open for the field size with TIETE, the only maiden in the field, taken to gain a deserved success fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Lesley's Boy and Del Ray head the opposition.

This looks tricky but LESLEY'S BOY had a tough task last time and he could resume his progress back in calmer waters at this new trip.

1	4 1st (4) (7/1 -40%) Batwomen		7 7/1(-40%)																															(4) Batwomen 7/1, Runner-up in C&D maiden hurdles 9 months apart. Neil Mulholland has his team in good nick and she appeals as one who can go on to better things in handicaps. Second over C&D on both hurdling starts but probably needs improvement on handicap debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +14%) Ted's Friend		12 12/1(+14%)																															(3) Ted's Friend 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler at best who has been lightly raced since a 23f Worcester success in September 2022 but his latest fourth back at Worcester suggests he retains a good chunk of his ability. Well below best this year but last month's run was a big step back in the right direction.
3	2 3rd (2) (7/2 -56%) Greatness Awaits		3.5 7/2(-56%)																															(2) Greatness Awaits 7/2, Been in good form back over hurdles, scoring at Newton Abbot in June and runner-up on all 3 outings since. Should go well again. Second three times since his win in June and may still be on the upgrade; big player.
4	9 4th (9) (10/3 +72%) Footloose Man		3.333333 10/3(+72%)																															(9) Footloose Man 10/3, Placed in bumpers and left previous hurdling efforts behind when opening his account in a 9-runner conditional jockeys event over slightly shorter here in August. Not in quite the same form when fourth at Bangor a week later. 2m1f course winner in August but held since; needs to kick on again.
5th	10 5th (10) (13/2 +80%) Ipsos Pierji		6.5 13/2(+80%)																															(10) Ipsos Pierji 13/2, Little to get excited about in 5 outings in 2022/23, including 2 handicaps. Too soon to write off but a watching brief is the percentage call after a long absence unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Unexposed over hurdles but absent since never-dangerous eighth at Exeter in April 2023.
6th	1 6th (1) (20/1 -344%) Baddesley		20 20/1(-344%)																															(1) Baddesley 20/1, Temperamental sort but did win over hurdles and fences at Plumpton last season. Not easy to predict what mood he'll be in on his return from 6 months off. Inconsistent in recent years but won when fresh last autumn and resumes on a workable mark.
7th	6 7th (6) (9/1 -100%) Sir Rock		9 9/1(-100%)																															(6) Sir Rock 9/1, Course hurdle winner who added chase wins at Plumpton and this venue last winter. Close second back at Plumpton (again) when last seen in March. Contender if resuming in similar form back hurdling. Took well to chasing last season; needs to transfer that improvement back to hurdles.
8th	7 8th (7) (20/1 -67%) Gata Ban		20 20/1(-67%)																															(7) Gata Ban 20/1, Made a winning handicap debut at Taunton (19f) in December 2022. Absent since but returns with her stable in form and it'll be interesting to see how she compares in the betting to stablemate Batwomen. Not seen since clearcut Taunton win in 2022 but remains unexposed; market may guide.
9th	8 9th (8) (17/2 +47%) Pennsylvanie		8.5 17/2(+47%)																															(8) Pennsylvanie 17/2, Fair form over hurdles in France. Largely struggled for Alexandra Dunn subsequently but she was second at this course last September. One to keep an eye in the betting having switched to the Moore yard ahead of this first outing for 11 months. Makes stable debut after one-year absence but good market support will need to be heeded.

Although GREATNESS AWAITS has crept up in the handicap after three runner-up efforts since his victory at Newton Abbot in June, he still looks capable of scoring off his current rating. The reappearing Baddesley capped off last season with a victory over fences at Plumpton and he's not discounted reverting to the smaller obstacles, while Ted's Friend lurks on an attractive mark.

GREATNESS AWAITS arrives at the top of his game and is preferred to Neil Mulholland handicap newcomer Batwomen. Ted's Friend showed last time he's down to a mark he can be competitive from and completes the shortlist.

This might go to GREATNESS AWAITS, who has remained in good form since his win in June and is slightly ahead of the handicapper.

1	8 1st (8) (6/1 -20%) Ebt's Guard		6 6/1(-20%)																															(8) Ebt's Guard 6/1, Sole success from 16 starts was gained in a Thirsk maiden in June but he has posted any number of a creditable efforts in defeat either side of that. Shaped better than the distance beaten in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket last weekend and, with conditions here no problem, he's a big player. Creditable sixth in the Cambridgeshire and leading claims if this doesn't come too soon.
2	11 2nd (11) (4/1 -100%) Tareefa		4 4/1(-100%)																															(11) Tareefa 4/1, Well-bred filly who confirmed debut promise when scoring in comfortable fashion at Newmarket in June. Followed up in a Haydock novice (1m, soft) the following month and while that form is nothing special, she is in good hands and further progress seems likely. 3yo; novice wins the last twice; could be significantly better than today's grade.
3	10 3rd (10) (7/2 +68%) Monkey Island		3.5 7/2(+68%)																															(10) Monkey Island 7/2, Caused an 80/1 upset in Newbury novice on return and, following a lesser effort at the Royal meeting in June, he has since acquitted himself well in a trio of 7f/1m handicaps on good/good to firm. Conditions here will be unlike anything he's previously encountered, which is a concern. Solid efforts when third at Newmarket the last twice; unraced on slow ground.
4	6 4th (6) (15/2 +6%) Thunder Roar		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(6) Thunder Roar 15/2, Successful 3 times from 16 starts and went close to adding another to his tally last week in a Haydock handicap (7.2f, heavy). By no means the pick of these at the weights but, on the upside, he's consistent and clearly relishes testing conditions. Would be better off if this was a h'cap but he went very close on heavy at Haydock latest.
5th	12 5th (12) (8/1 -23%) Thyer		8 8/1(-23%)																															(12) Thyer 8/1, Showed plenty in 2 starts for Andrew Balding at 2 yrs and, having been gelded, he narrowly prevailed on his belated reappearance/debut for new yard under a penalty at Windsor (1m, good) 18 days ago. May well have more to offer but this is a much tougher assignment. Two novice wins from his three starts; could have plenty more to offer; one to consider.
6th	4 6th (4) (12/1 -85%) Pearl Eye		12 12/1(-85%)																															(4) Pearl Eye 12/1, Made a winning reappearance over a mile at Pontefract in May and returned to form following a brief lull when going close at Chester (7.6f, soft) last month, a race he almost certainly would've won but for traffic problems around a furlong out. Strongly considered. Returned to form on soft ground at Chester three weeks ago; could be in the shake-up.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/1 -10%) Aquacell		11 11/1(-10%)																															(7) Aquacell 11/1, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Chelmsford (7f) in Apri and she hasn't done much wrong in 5 subsequent appearances, most recently finding just one too good in a 1m Newmarket handicap (good). Unraced on ground slower than good to soft. Lightly raced 3yo; runner-up at Newmarket latest; something to find today but progressive.
8th	3 8th (3) (40/1 -43%) Imperial Fighter		40 40/1(-43%)																															(3) Imperial Fighter 40/1, Third in the Irish 2000 Guineas in 2022 but hasn't come close to matching that form since, particularly in his 3 runs for new connections this year. Third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 2022 but has struggled this season.
9th	1 9th (1) (18/1 +28%) Accidental Agent		18 18/1(+28%)																															(1) Accidental Agent 18/1, Smart performer in his pomp (winner of the Queen Anne at the 2018 Royal meeting) but it's been over 2 years since he last got his head in front, and he failed to build on his fairly encouraging belated reappearance effort when down the field at Sandown last time. 10yo; merely 8th on both runs this year but showed spark on first occasion; not discounted.
10th	2 10th (2) (28/1 -27%) Dashing Roger		28 28/1(-27%)																															(2) Dashing Roger 28/1, Signed off last season with a pair of wins in the mud but his efforts during the spring lacked spark and it's easy enough to look elsewhere on this occasion. Patchy form in the spring and absent since, but two heavy-ground wins last autumn.
11th	5 11th (5) (150/1 +25%) Taskheer		150 150/1(+25%)																															(5) Taskheer 150/1, Winner of 3 of his 4 starts (all low-grade handicaps) in what turned out to be a truncated 2023 campaign. Faces a very tall order on these terms, particularly on the back of a 17-month absence. Progressive in spring 2023 but absent since and faces a tough task at today's weights.

Closely related to Group 1 winner Nezwaah, TAREEFA has progressed nicely by scoring on her last two starts. As long as she handles the ground, William Haggas' charge is taken to see off the likes of Thyer, who was a determined winner at Windsor on his first start for new connections, and Ebt's Guard. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Aquacell, Dashing Roger and Monkey Island.

PEARL EYE pulled clear of the rest when an unlucky loser at Chester recently and, granted better luck-in-running, the 4-y-o may well gain compensation here with conditions no problem. Next on the list is Ebt's Guard, who is just about the pick at the weights and he ran well for a long way in the Cambridgeshire on Saturday. The unexposed Tareefa has to be feared, too, while Monkey Island could have a part to play if handling the ground and Thunder Road is not without each-way hope.

The well-bred TAREEFA (nap) could prove to be quite a bit better than this grade and gets the nod ahead of fellow 3yo Ebt's Guard.

1	1 1st (1) (11/4 +45%) Hero Of The Hour		2.75 11/4(+45%)																															(1) Hero Of The Hour 11/4, Course winner. Latest win at Naas in August. 10/1, bit below form seventh of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 11 days ago. Has good chance on form. 3-time course winner at 6f; slightly more effective at 6f than 5f; others on better marks.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/2 +27%) Senado Square		5.5 11/2(+27%)																															(2) Senado Square 11/2, C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 22 in handicap (22/1) at Naas (5f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Higher mark to contend with back on all weather C&D winner; out of form on turf this year; return to AW needs to spark revival.
3	9 3rd (9) (5/1 +23%) Hezahunk		5 5/1(+23%)																															(9) Hezahunk 5/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner maiden claimer at this course (6f, 11/2) 7 days ago, leading dying strides. Possibilities if replicating that back in handicap company from his basement mark. Won at 26th attempt in maiden claimer here last week at 6f; not sure to follow up at 5f.
4	4 4th (4) (11/2 +0%) Realtin Fantasy		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(4) Realtin Fantasy 11/2, C&D winner. Two wins from 42 Flat runs. Creditable third of 15 in handicap at Navan (5f, good, 10/1) 27 days ago. Clearly doesn't find winning easy but her consistency is hard to knock of late. C&D winner; yet to win off mark this high but gone close several times this year.
5th	12 5th (12) (25/1 +0%) Jackie Brown		25 25/1(+0%)																															(12) Jackie Brown 25/1, 25/1, fourteenth of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 11 days ago, soon behind and making no impression. Needs to get back on track. Looked regressive over last 18 months; no signs of revival last week; best form 6f+.
6th	11 6th (11) (18/1 -29%) Tai Sing Yeh		18 18/1(-29%)																															(11) Tai Sing Yeh 18/1, 5-time course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2023. Eleventh of 17 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 33/1) 11 days ago. Hasn't looked the force of old in recent months. Five-time course winner but yet to show much for this yard and probably needs further.
7th	10 7th (10) (10/1 -100%) Stopitnowjulia		10 10/1(-100%)																															(10) Stopitnowjulia 10/1, 20/1, bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Navan (5f, good) 27 days ago, racing off the pace and never a threat. Not one to write off judged on promise of her previous run at Naas and booking of Keane an obvious plus. One of her better runs over this C&D when 3rd last November; generally struggled since.
8th	14 8th (14) (80/1 -142%) Veracidad		80 80/1(-142%)																															(14) Veracidad 80/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 3 lengths fifth of 9 to Hezahunk in maiden claimer at this course (6f, 125/1) 7 days ago, headed before final 1f and weakening. Others make greater appeal. 0-17; minor signs of revival here last week in a maiden claimer but needs to build on that.
9th	5 9th (5) (13/2 +7%) Eruption		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(5) Eruption 13/2, Latest win at Bellewstown in July. Below form fourth of 13 in handicap (25/1) at this course (6f) 7 days ago. Can give a good account again. All 3 wins on turf; unplaced in 8 AW starts; 4h over 6f here last week; drops in trip.
10th	3 10th (3) (28/1 +15%) Speedwood		28 28/1(+15%)																															(3) Speedwood 28/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (6f, 20/1) 7 days ago, weakening final 1f. Visor on 1st time. 2nd in Naas maiden but struggled in h'caps since; beaten 7l here (6f) last week; visor on.
11th	13 11th (13) (40/1 -60%) Rhasidat		40 40/1(-60%)																															(13) Rhasidat 40/1, Course winner. 40/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 11 days ago. Back down in trip. Hard to warm to at present. Dual AW winner but both those wins have come at 7f; hasn't shown enough in 3 starts at 5f.
12th	8 12th (8) (11/2 -10%) Phil's Dream		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(8) Phil's Dream 11/2, C&D winner. 9/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Laytown (6f) 18 days ago. Visor back on. Not taken lightly returned to this track/trip. Sole win came over C&D; might have needed Laytown return; one to consider.

A C&D winner last November, REALTIN FANTASY has shaped up well with two placed effort on turf of late and is an attractive proposition back on Polytrack in this company. Eruption is closely matched with the selection based on their encounter at Down Royal in June and looks a key player on the revised terms, despite having yet to win on a synthetic surface. No Speed Limit and Hero Of The Hour are previous course winners with some each-way appeal.

A run-of-the-mill sprint handicap with the narrow vote in favour of PHIL'S DREAM. Back on his last winning mark, he's entitled to be sharper for his recent return at Laytown and, with the visor back on, it would come as no surprise to see him firmly in the mix. No Speed Limit, Hero of The Hour and Hezahunk are others to consider.

This could go the way of REALTIN FANTASY who is a C&D winner in good form and she's well drawn for her preferred tactics

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +27%) Shadows In The Sky		4 4/1(+27%)																															(2) Shadows In The Sky 4/1, Point winner who opened his Rules account when accounting for 7 rivals over C&D in May. First respectable effort since when fourth to Jimli's Island last time and has visor on now. C&D winner who was a fair fourth at Perth latest and could be dangerous back in trip.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/4 -29%) Jimli's Island		2.25 9/4(-29%)																															(4) Jimli's Island 9/4, Made a successful start for new trainer in a 3m handicap chase at Perth in August, then backed it up with a ready success over hurdles there. Still very much of interest returning to this sphere and worth a chance to land the hat-trick. 2-2 for current yard with the wins gained over fences and hurdles at Perth; big player.
3	8 3rd (8) (18/1 -100%) Ring Pretender		18 18/1(-100%)																															(8) Ring Pretender 18/1, Couple of fair efforts over hurdles in 2022. Best effort over fences when third (despite meeting trouble) to Shadows In The Sky over C&D 4 months ago, so claims if she can build on that. Placed over C&D in her final run in the spring; needs watching in market on return.
4	9 4th (9) (5/1 +44%) Kingofthegame		5 5/1(+44%)																															(9) Kingofthegame 5/1, Finished third on the second of his 2 starts in Irish points and showed something to work on over hurdles. Notable that he makes quick switch to chasing for handicap debut after 7 months off, and he's not without hope. Unexposed 6y but he needs improvement on this handicap/chase debut.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 +64%) The King Of May		5 5/1(+64%)																															(3) The King Of May 5/1, Finally capitalised on a falling mark at Cartmel but this veteran chaser failed to back it up at Kelso last time. Others look more appealing. Ended long losing streak at Cartmel in July but was well held at Kelso last month.
6th	6 6th (6) (15/2 -36%) Croagh Patrick		7.5 15/2(-36%)																															(6) Croagh Patrick 15/2, On a long losing run but well treated and back on track when fourth at Cartmel 76 days ago. Has won here in the past and, with cheekpieces refitted, he merits respect. Last win was in 2022 and he's been beaten 14l or more in last five runs; down the list.
7th	10 7th (10) (17/2 +15%) Sputnik		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(10) Sputnik 17/2, C&D winner who was well below form on his final outing for Jackie Stephen and was sold cheaply since, so hard to make a strong case for unless the market speaks in his favour after three months off. Both wins in 2022 and he's been hard to predict; risks attached on return for new yard.
1	1 |PU| (1) (12/1 -85%) Coniston Clouds		12 12/1(-85%)																															(1) Coniston Clouds 12/1, Hurdles winner last spring and struck at first time of asking over fences at Catterick (19.2f) in November. Mixed results since (including a nasty fall) but appeals as the type to get back on the up after four months off. Still unexposed over fences but he has something to prove after another break.
7	7 |PU| (7) (16/1 -14%) Follow Your Arrow		16 16/1(-14%)																															(7) Follow Your Arrow 16/1, Has a poor strike rate and, while he's edged down to a lenient mark, he hasn't been threatening to capitalise lately. Has generally struggled in last eight runs and looks opposable back from a break.
5	5 |PU| (5) (80/1 -142%) Animore		80 80/1(-142%)																															(5) Animore 80/1, Hasn't fired over fences for current stable and looks firmly up against it again. Has struggled since returning from a lengthy absence and was pulled up at Perth last week.

The hat-trick seeking Jimli's Island hasn't looked back since racing under the tutelage of Susan Corbett in August, as evidenced when completing a double over hurdles at Perth last month, and another bold bid is forecast reverting to chasing. However, the combination of a 9lb higher rating and a very different course may leave the eight-year-old vulnerable. With that in mind, it may be worth taking a punt on stable debutant SPUTNIK, a C&D winner here in April 2022 who lurks on an attractive mark. Shadows In The Sky is another that should appreciate a return to this venue.

JIMILI'S ISLAND has taken off since joining this stable and it's unlikely the handicapper has caught up with him, so he's fancied to land the hat-trick at the possible expense of Croagh Patrick, who is lingering on a dangerous mark. Coniston Clouds is a definite player if back on track after a break.

Top of the list is JIMLI'S ISLAND, who has proved something a revelation for his new yard, with wins over fences and hurdles at Perth.

1	1 1st (1) (25/1 -25%) Aruntothequeen		25 25/1(-25%)																															(1) Aruntothequeen 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 12 in bumper (3/1) at Killarney (17f, soft) 43 days ago. More needed. Solid form in bumpers, runner-up in bumpers at Tipperary and Killarney, but more is needed.
2	6 2nd (6) (1/1 +60%) Mozzies Sister		1 1/1(+60%)																															(6) Mozzies Sister 1/1, Off the mark at third attempt in 11-runner bumper (15/8) at Down Royal (16.9f, good) 35 days ago by 3¾ lengths from Dippedinmoonlight. Sets the standard. Did well to land a winners contest at Down Royal and looks sure to come on for that.

Worth a go at this level for all that she has something to find. No reason to believe she can turn around that Down Royal form with Mozzies Sister.
4	14 4th (14) (8/1 -33%) Seo Linn		8 8/1(-33%)																															(14) Seo Linn 8/1, 4/5, Built on promising debut when won 8-runner bumper at Ballinrobe (16.4f, soft) 39 days ago. Should be on the premises. Ballinrobe winner; more needed but likely to improve again and dangerous to underestimate.
5th	11 5th (11) (11/1 -57%) Keep Up		11 11/1(-57%)																															(11) Keep Up 11/1, Won 13-runner bumper (4/1) at Roscommon (15.4f, soft) on NH debut 59 days ago. Should progress and is of definite interest. Roscommon winner stable second string by the looks of it but certainly no forlorn hope.
6th	4 6th (4) (28/1 -40%) Ma Bess		28 28/1(-40%)																															(4) Ma Bess 28/1, Fair hurdler. 2/1, fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 35 days ago. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Getting better with each recent run. Back to bumper after finishing fourth in a 3m mares maiden at Wexford two weeks ago.
7th	3 7th (3) (10/3 -78%) Cameletta Vega		3.333333 10/3(-78%)																															(3) Cameletta Vega 10/3, Closely related to very smart hurdler/smart chase winner Facile Vega and dual bumper winner Aurora Vega. Dam (h164) prolific hurdle winner up to 3m. Eased to debut win at Galway and is fancied to defend the unbeaten record. More to come from her and the choice of Patrick Mullins; will need to improve though.
8th	12 8th (12) (125/1 -89%) Kilbarry Ace		125 125/1(-89%)																															(12) Kilbarry Ace 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in bumper (9/1) at Naas (16.5f, soft) 171 days ago. Likely to struggle at this level. Showed some ability on her second bumper start at Naas in April but much more needed here.
9th	13 9th (13) (25/1 -25%) Not Now Darling		25 25/1(-25%)																															(13) Not Now Darling 25/1, 5/1, won 11-runner bumper at Killarney (17f, good) on NH debut 78 days ago. May do better but others have more class. The form of her Killarney win is just ordinary but she won well and can improve.
10th	2 10th (2) (50/1 -52%) Cailin Deas		50 50/1(-52%)																															(2) Cailin Deas 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 15 in bumper (20/1) at Galway (16.7f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Ran to a similar level when placed in bumpers at Kilbeggan and Galway last twice.
11th	8 11th (8) (125/1 -89%) Backwithyourown		125 125/1(-89%)																															(8) Backwithyourown 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 13 in bumper (25/1) at Wexford (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 58 days ago. Up against it. Home-bred filly caught the eye when not beaten far in a Wexford bumper in August.
12th	7 12th (7) (40/1 -21%) Parga Diamond		40 40/1(-21%)																															(7) Parga Diamond 40/1, Career best when winning 13-runner bumper at Tramore (16.6f, good to soft, 7/1) 47 days ago, easing clear. Likely to be outclassed here. Got off the mark in a bumper at Tramore in August; lots more needed here.
13th	10 13th (10) (125/1 -25%) Katie's World		125 125/1(-25%)																															(10) Katie's World 125/1, Elusive Pimpernel filly. Half-sister to modest 23f hurdle winner Red Hugh. Stiff task on debut. Home-bred filly will need to be above average to be competitive here on debut.

A dual bumper winner, who finished second in a Grade 3 at Punchestown, MOZZIES SISTER sets a high standard. The Declan Queally-trained five-year-old has plenty of experience, having won her only point-to-point start prior to racing under Rules. In a race full of unexposed types with plenty of potential, the Arctic Cosmos mare will be hard to beat. The well-bred Cameletta Vega couldn't have done it any easier when making a winning racecourse debut at Galway in August. Trainer Willie Mullins has an embarrassment of riches in this division, so the fact Patrick Mullins takes the ride is significant. Stablemate Keep Up was expected to improve from the run when winning at Roscommon first time up. That form received a huge boost when the runner-up beat a subsequent winner on his next start.

CAMALETTA VEGA has a most compelling pedigree and wasn't hard pressed to make a winning start at Galway a couple of months ago, so she's fancied to maintain that unbeaten record for all that Mozzies Sister has actually achieved more than her in form terms. Keep Up, a stablemate of the selection, is also considered.

A confident selection goes to MOZZIES SISTER, whose form in the spring sets a very good standard here and should come on for Down Royal

1	1 1st (1) (7/1 -110%) Jacks My Boy		7 7/1(-110%)																															(1) Jacks My Boy 7/1, Left debut form behind when 33/1-winner of 7-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) 15 days ago. Much respected despite conceding weight all round. Both starts at 1m on Polytrack, big step forward when winning the latest; more to come.

3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 -35%) Countess Candy		4.5 9/2(-35%)																															(2) Countess Candy 9/2, Twice-raced Toronado filly who bagged 4-runner novice at this course (10.2f) 22 days ago with plenty in hand. Down in trip but well in the mix with more to come. Relished this surface when 1m2f winner here latest; slight query about drop to 1m.

Off 7 months but remains likely to improve. Promising C&D debut in February; can improve but he might need this after a layoff.
5th	3 5th (3) (200/1 -150%) Matt Cool		200 200/1(-150%)																															(3) Matt Cool 200/1, 100/1, seventh of 8 in novice at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) on debut 44 days ago, very slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Good family; tailed off on belated 6f debut; 1m will suit better but very early days.

Jacks My Boy and Countess Candy both come into this contest on the back of victories, but the latter is the pick of the pair after her impressive triumph over 1m2f here last month. However, a chance can be taken on newcomer SPETSES, who is related to plenty of winners and represents powerful connections. The son of Get Stormy might be able to make an instant impression on his racecourse debut.

Most of these enter calculations but Conrad Allen's filly COUNTESS CANDY looks the way to go on the back of her impressive recent victory here. Roger Varian's newcomer Spetses could emerge as the chief threat ahead of the returning King of Lightning and Chelmsford City scorer Jacks My Boy.

Spetses needs watching in the market but both JACKS MY BOY and Countess Candy are good candidates for further improvement.

1	7 1st (7) (4/1 -14%) Broughshane		4 4/1(-14%)																															(7) Broughshane 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Well-held fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, soft) 6 months ago. This winning Irish pointer remains with potential now going into handicaps though. Impresive Irish point winner who displayed promise in two Chepstow maidens last winter.
2	8 2nd (8) (6/4 +81%) Golden Ambition		1.5 6/4(+81%)																															(8) Golden Ambition 6/4, Modest maiden hurdler. Tailed off when unseated rider 2 out in handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f, good) 71 days ago. Blinkers back on with something to prove. Ran well two starts ago but tailed off when losing rider last time; now 0-8 over hurdles.
3	2 3rd (2) (16/1 +0%) Red Windsor		16 16/1(+0%)																															(2) Red Windsor 16/1, Fairly useful winner over hurdles at his best but just one effort of note last season and became increasingly temperamental. Others preferred. Out of sorts at end of last season but will be dangerous if 162-day break has refeshed him.
4	5 4th (5) (18/1 -29%) Ede'iffs Rock		18 18/1(-29%)																															(5) Ede'iffs Rock 18/1, Consistent sort who opened her account after a frustrating run of placed efforts in 13-runner handicap at Leicester in January. Stamina stretched over 3m at Wincanton next time and needs to hit the ground running after 7 months off. Held on gamely for heavy-ground win in January; absent since lesser effort in February.
5th	9 5th (9) (9/1 -100%) Miss Fedora		9 9/1(-100%)																															(9) Miss Fedora 9/1, Got back on track reverted to this sphere when landing 8-runner handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) 41 days ago. This C&D winner.is firmly in the picture despite a 5 lb rise. Won when back over hurdles at Cartmel in August and remains on a good mark.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 +0%) Beat The Heat		16 16/1(+0%)																															(3) Beat The Heat 16/1, 4-time course winner, latest in June, and running creditably when fell 2 out in handicap hurdle here (17.7f, good) 10 days ago. Also took this in 2022 so he's In the mix with visor back on. C&D winner in first-time visor in June but not in the same form again since.
7th	6 7th (6) (3/1 -33%) Kalif D'airy		3 3/1(-33%)																															(6) Kalif D'airy 3/1, Ninth in Cheltenham listed bumper on debut and built on that when third in a pair of juvenile hurdles at Newbury and Hereford in the winter. Open to improvement on his return/handicap debut. Interesting. Placed in two juvenile hurdles last season; moves into handicaps with potential.
8th	10 8th (10) (14/1 +13%) What's My Line		14 14/1(+13%)																															(10) What's My Line 14/1, Course winner and in good form last term until only tenth of 15 in handicap here (17.7f, good to firm) 168 days ago, going in snatches. Needs to bounce back. Won off similar mark when fresh last autumn but others appeal more all the same.
4	4 |PU| (4) (12/1 +14%) Kelce		12 12/1(+14%)																															(4) Kelce 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden for Colm Miurphy. Off 16 months since eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20.4f, good) but should sill have more to offer. Worth a market check. 0-5 over hurdles in Ireland; makes stable debut after long absence; market may guide.
1	1 |PU| (1) (28/1 -300%) Presenting Nelly		28 28/1(-300%)																															(1) Presenting Nelly 28/1, Scored three times last year and shaped well on her reappearance. Disappointing favourite at Worcester last time but cheekpieces are applied now and she's worth another chance. Ran well two starts ago but flopped badly last time; now tried in cheekpieces.

Having hit the frame on both hurdle outings to date, Kalif D'airy warrants consideration on his handicap/seasonal bow. An opening mark of 102 looks workable for the four-year-old and he isn't taken lightly. However, C&D winner MISS FEDORA outbattled a subsequent winner when regaining the winning thread at Cartmel in August and the Seamus Mullins-trained mare is the one to beat off a 5lb higher rating. Broughshane is also worth a glance in the betting on his entry into handicap company.

Plenty with chances but KALIF D'AIRY appeals as a likely improver for Gary and Josh Moore now going into handicaps so edges the vote from Broughshane, who fluffed his lines when fourth at Huntingdon last time but remains capable of better on his first venture into handicap company. Recent Cartmel scorer Miss Fedora and top-weight Presenting Nelly can also have a say.

Not much has gone to plan for BROUGHSHANE since his easy Irish point win in February 2022 but he looks very interesting in this grade.

1	5 1st (5) (11/4 +0%) Valiant Force		2.75 11/4(+0%)																															(5) Valiant Force 11/4, Caused a huge shock at Royal Ascot last season but seems to have completely lost form, 8¼ lengths last of 11 to Givemethebeatboys in Phoenix Sprint Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good to firm, 50/1) just under 8 weeks ago. Makes polytrack debut and this is a significant drop in grade. Top-class as a juvenile, struggling this year, drops in class but hard to be confident.
2	3 2nd (3) (15/8 +16%) Harry's Bar		1.875 15/8(+16%)																															(3) Harry's Bar 15/8, 4-time C&D winner. Came on significantly from his stable debut when second of 10 in handicap at Laytown (7f, 4/1) 18 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Has to be taken seriously. Won this race in 2021 and last year, 15 AW wins in all, heps to give trainer a strong hand.
3	1 3rd (1) (15/2 -36%) Arnhem		7.5 15/2(-36%)																															(1) Arnhem 15/2, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Merely hinted at a revival after just 2 days off when fourth of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Down Royal (5f, soft) 4 days ago. Modest strike-rate (2-35) but placed 14 times, three of these are better off at weights.
4	2 4th (2) (13/8 +28%) Betsen		1.625 13/8(+28%)																															(2) Betsen 13/8, Useful gelding. 80/1, seemingly flattered when 3¼ lengths tenth of 11 to My Mate Alfie in Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Makes all-weather debut. One to consider. Useful sort but took a while to win a race, sights lowered after a Group 3 bid last Sunday.
5th	6 5th (6) (150/1 -355%) Tamazu		150 150/1(-355%)																															(6) Tamazu 150/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, again finished well held in minor event at Laytown (7f) 18 days ago. Back down in trip. Very hard to make a case for. Turf winner; has made little impact on this surface; no apparent chance at these weights.

HARRY'S BAR showed much improved form when making his second start for the Jack W Davison yard and hitting the crossbar over 7f at Laytown last time. The nine-year-old is a four-time C&D winner and it would be no surprise to see him gain a 16th career victory. Valiant Force sets the standard with a rating of 101 but has failed to fire in his three starts for the Adrian Murray stable, while Betsen is another to keep an eye on.

A trappy sprint but HARRY'S BAR came on significantly from his stable debut when runner-up at Laytown last month, so he's fancied to notch C&D victory number 5 refitted in cheekpieces at the expense of Betsen, who was seemingly flattered in a Group 3 at the Curragh last Sunday and makes his all-weather debut. Valiant Force should find this much easier than recent assignments, so he rounds off the shortlist.

Jack Davison holds the aces. Betsen has youth on his side but the experience of 15-time AW winner HARRY'S BAR may prove crucial

Failed to back it up when a well-held fifth at Perth later in the spring though so she needs to hit the ground running on her return. 0-7 over hurdles and she flopped in final run last season; something to prove on return.

Fair third at Cartmel but is out of the weights here after another break; has work to do.
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 -80%) Vanilla Dancer		9 9/1(-80%)																															(5) Vanilla Dancer 9/1, Progressive in bumpers, scoring at Sedgefield last November. Hasn't yet replicated that over hurdles and just a fair fourth when hooded in C&D novice in June. More is needed now going into handicaps. Some promise over hurdles but she needs improvement now switched to a handicap on return.
5th	2 5th (2) (5/1 -11%) Moonlight Glory		5 5/1(-11%)																															(2) Moonlight Glory 5/1, Bagged three wins during a productive 2023/24 campaign, including over C&D, and she hinted at a revival when fifth of 12 in handicap at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) 11 days ago. Weighted to go close. On dangerous mark and ran better than the bare facts at Sedgefield latest; not ruled out.

Tongue tied with work to do. Has struggled in all four runs including a Cartmel handicap in June; lots to prove.

Having travelled with more verve on her fifth-placed finish at Sedgefield last month, MOONLIGHT GLORY looks primed for a big run. Mark Walford's mare scored over track and trip in May 2023 and she makes most appeal. Although Similar Story hasn't proved the most consistent over hurdles, a 163-day layoff may have freshened her up. The six-year-old is feared most, ahead of You Some Girl.

C&D winner MOONLIGHT GLORY signalled she is ready to strike again when a recent fifth at Sedgfield so looks the way to go here. Police Academy could emerge as the main danger now reverted to this sphere after a brief stint chasing, with You Some Girl also in the picture with Brian Hughes up for the first time.

Preference is for triple hurdle winner POLICE ACADEMY, who returns to this sphere off only 1lb higher than for her last success.

1	7 1st (7) (7/2 +13%) Baraq		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(7) Baraq 7/2, 4/1, career best when winning 8-runner novice at Southwell (8.1f) 8 days ago, well on top at the finish. Sole previous run in handicap company didn't go too well but that was over 11f and he has to be feared given the yard he represents. Won a Southwell novice easily and 2lb well in under penalty, but last in only handicap run.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 +35%) Nikovo		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(1) Nikovo 13/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year, the latest at Ayr in May. 16/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 43 days ago, hampered. Daniel Tudhope prefers Great Max. Three wins earlier this year including over C&D, but still 8lb above his last winning mark.
3	10 3rd (10) (33/1 -65%) Gincident		33 33/1(-65%)																															(10) Gincident 33/1, C&D winner. Below form ninth of 16 in handicap (11/2) at York (7f, good to soft) on latest appearance in June. Needs to get back on track now equipped with a hood. Yard also saddles Master Zoffany. C&D winner, but has become inconsistent and may need the run; hood on.
4	5 4th (5) (7/1 +36%) Master Richard		7 7/1(+36%)																															(5) Master Richard 7/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 36 days ago. Down another 1 lb and he's one to consider. 4lb lower than for his last win over 7f here; other wins have come over 1m; could go well.
5th	9 5th (9) (9/1 -50%) Sniper's Eye		9 9/1(-50%)																															(9) Sniper's Eye 9/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 2/1) 17 days ago, slowly away. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he should be on the premises, provided that this drop back in trip doesn't count against him. Southwell winner a year ago and won on turf last time, but may need further than this now.
6th	4 6th (4) (16/1 -78%) Great Max		16 16/1(-78%)																															(4) Great Max 16/1, Latest win at Doncaster in August. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 36 days ago. In good form prior to that but a question mark remains in terms of his effectiveness on the AW. Won twice on turf in August but modest in three starts on AW; still has stamina to prove.
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 +11%) Yokohama		16 16/1(+11%)																															(6) Yokohama 16/1, Lightly-raced course winner. 11/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) when last seen in June. Others make more appeal. Won here as a 2yo; some stiff task this year and remains unexposed; watch market.
8th	11 8th (11) (8/1 +33%) Light Speed		8 8/1(+33%)																															(11) Light Speed 8/1, Course winner. Latest win at Chester in July. 3¾ lengths ninth of 12 to Theme Park in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to firm, 14/1) 15 days ago, not much room. Good strike rate on the AW (3-7) and he's one to be interested in. Won three times on the AW late last year; met plenty of trouble last time; each-way claims.
9th	3 9th (3) (14/1 -180%) Theme Park		14 14/1(-180%)																															(3) Theme Park 14/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to firm, 5/1) 15 days ago. This 4 lb higher mark should be manageable and he'll be a threat if able to reproduce that form back on the AW. Has won two of his last four starts on turf, but well beaten in one previous visit here.
10th	2 10th (2) (6/1 +25%) Greatgadian		6 6/1(+25%)																															(2) Greatgadian 6/1, C&D winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (8f) 27 days ago. Would be a serious player off this reduced mark if able to get back on track but now finds himself with a fair bit to prove. Winner once and runner-up three times in five visits here; dangerous off this mark.

That wasn't one of his better efforts but he'll be a major player if on-song. 9lb higher than when winning over C&D in January so will need to have improved generally.
12th	12 12th (12) (40/1 -100%) Master Zoffany		40 40/1(-100%)																															(12) Master Zoffany 40/1, Course winner. Visored for 1st time, below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Chester (7f, heavy, 12/1) 21 days ago. Others have achieved more. 8lb lower than his win here last December but doubts over whether he can take advantage.

Now that THEME PARK has regained the winning thread after a taking success at Pontefract last time out, there is likely to be plenty more improvement forthcoming from the four-year-old and he can land the double. Sniper's Eye got up late to score over further at Yarmouth last month and he must enter calculations, along with recent Southwell winner Baraq.

Cases can be made for several of these, with LIGHT SPEED topping the shortlist. He finished nearer last than first in the Pontefract handicap won by Theme Park recently but that only tells half the story (shaped better than the result) and his strike rate on the all-weather is another strong selling point. Hale End was also down the field in that Pontefract race but is much better than he showed there and is second choice ahead of Master Richard. Baraq and Sniper's Eye are others to consider.

This can go to GREATGADIAN (nap) who has become particularly attractively weighted on his best form at this track.

1	11 1st (11) (66/1 -267%) Lady With The Lamp		66 66/1(-267%)																															(11) Lady With The Lamp 66/1, Winner at Bath in June. Very good 1½ lengths third of 8 to Powerful Nation in minor event at this C&D (12/1) 14 days ago, driven over 1f out and keeping on. That may not prove her limit but a step back up in trip may suit on that evidence. Won Bath maiden and best run when C&D 3rd latest but needs more up in class.
2	13 2nd (13) (5/2 -25%) Revoke		2.5 5/2(-25%)																															(13) Revoke 5/2, Blue Point filly who justified strong market support to make a winning debut in 12-runner maiden at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 40 days ago, impressively. Shortlisted with progress anticipated. Well backed facile success at Naas on debut and that form has worked out very nicely.
3	5 3rd (5) (3/1 +33%) Powerful Nation		3 3/1(+33%)																															(5) Powerful Nation 3/1, Promising individual. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 11/4, won 8-runner minor event at this C&D 14 days ago by 1½ lengths from Amazing Athena, cosily. Looks competitive on form. Improving sort who has 2 wins over 5f, including over C&D latest; may improve again.
4	1 4th (1) (11/2 +0%) Arizona Blaze		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(1) Arizona Blaze 11/2, Dual 5f/6f winner at the Curragh in the spring and he has continued in good form, travelling strongly long way when second of 20 in conditions event at York (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Can go well again back at 5f. Group 3 winner earlier in year; held form well since; Group penalty a little off-putting.
5th	4 5th (4) (25/1 +11%) Morning Vietnam		25 25/1(+11%)																															(4) Morning Vietnam 25/1, C&D maiden winner. Latest win at Cork in July. 5½ lengths fifth of 7 to Ides of March in Round Tower Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good, 18/1) 34 days ago, seeming stretched by the step up in trip. Not out of things. C&D winner on debut; followed up career best Cork win with Gr 3 5th; needs more.
6th	14 6th (14) (10/3 +33%) Sayidah Dariyan		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(14) Sayidah Dariyan 10/3, Promising type. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 1/6, won 12-runner maiden at Lingfield (6f, AW) 24 days ago, impressively accelerating clear through the final 2f. That effort was backed up by the clock and well worth her place at this higher level. Off the mark at 2nd attempt in Lingfield maiden; couldn't have won any easier.
7th	10 7th (10) (100/1 -52%) Flash The Cash		100 100/1(-52%)																															(10) Flash The Cash 100/1, Fair filly. Good second of 14 in maiden at this course (6f, 7/2) 14 days ago. Looks to have her work cut out upped markedly in grade. 0-6; best run came when beaten 6l in Queen Mary; back to form when 2nd in 6f maiden here.
8th	12 8th (12) (40/1 -43%) Oxford Rock		40 40/1(-43%)																															(12) Oxford Rock 40/1, Fairly useful filly. Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner maiden at Navan (5f, good, 4/9) 13 days ago, kept up to work. Makes polytrack debut. Needs to pull out more. Beaten 5l in Queen Mary; off the mark at 6th attempt last month; much more needed.
9th	8 9th (8) (28/1 -12%) Snapdragon		28 28/1(-12%)																															(8) Snapdragon 28/1, Fairly useful colt. Last of 4 in minor event (evens) at Navan (5.8f, good) 27 days ago, finding little. Blinkers go back on and no surprise to see him bounce back. 0-7; went close in h'caps off 83 twice; disappointing evens fav latest; needs career best.
10th	7 10th (7) (8/1 +11%) Sir Yoshi		8 8/1(+11%)																															(7) Sir Yoshi 8/1, Useful colt. Winner at Tipperary in May. Very good 1½ lengths third of 16 to Tropical Storm in listed race at York (5f, good to firm, 28/1) 41 days ago, that despite making his move out wide. Claims of getting involved again on that evidence. Maiden winner in May and solid form since, including York Listed 3rd latest; shortlisted.
11th	2 11th (2) (125/1 -150%) Lethimfly		125 125/1(-150%)																															(2) Lethimfly 125/1, Fairly useful colt. Winner at Bellewstown in July. Respectable sixth of 22 in minor event at the Curragh (6.3f, good, 25/1) 19 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Bellewstown maiden winner; ran well in sales race latest but has a lot to find at weights.
12th	9 12th (9) (50/1 -178%) Amazing Athena		50 50/1(-178%)																															(9) Amazing Athena 50/1, Fairly useful filly. Winner at Naas in July. 13/2, good 1½ lengths second of 8 to Powerful Nation in minor event at this C&D 14 days ago. Trainer going well. Won fillies' maiden in July and back to form with C&D 2nd latest; more needed up in class.
13th	6 13th (6) (28/1 +15%) Red Evolution		28 28/1(+15%)																															(6) Red Evolution 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fifth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 3/1) 6 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers on 1st time. Progress required. Shown there's ability there in 4 starts so far; yet to get head in front; blinkers on.

Only worn down late on in a highly valuable sales contest at York's Ebor meeting, ARIZONA BLAZE is likely to be well suited to dropping back to 5f for the first time since finishing third in the Norfolk. Adrian Murray's charge can overcome a 5lb penalty for winning a Group 3 in May, with Revoke looking best placed to chase him home after an impressive debut success at Naas in August. British raider Sayidah Dariyan looked good when bounding clear at Lingfield last time out and is another to consider, along with recent C&D winner Powerful Nation.

Several progressive types in opposition with Richard Hughes' filly SAYIDAH DARIYAN getting the nod to come out on top. She marked herself down as a pattern-class performer in the making when bolting up at Lingfield 24 days ago and she's well worth her place at this higher level. Revoke and Powerful Nation are similarly upwardly mobile types and are feared along with Arizona Blaze.

It's difficult to get away from REVOKE (nap) who made easy work of her debut when well backed and that form is working out nicely

1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +11%) Drakeholes		4 4/1(+11%)																															(3) Drakeholes 4/1, C&D winner in March. 7/1, good second of 13 over C&D 10 days ago, keeping on after not enjoying the clearest of runs. Player. Dual C&D winner; runner-up here ten days ago and 1lb well in; shouldn't be far away.
2	10 2nd (10) (7/1 +13%) Filey Beach		7 7/1(+13%)																															(10) Filey Beach 7/1, 18/1, creditable second of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop back to 7f. 0-7 but has shown some ability off this mark the last twice; relatively unexposed.
3	9 3rd (9) (11/2 +73%) Mr Stanley		5.5 11/2(+73%)																															(9) Mr Stanley 11/2, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat starts. 8/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 31 days ago. Fair effort penultimate start, but didn't back it up last time and now 0-21.

5th	6 5th (6) (4/1 +0%) Barossa		4 4/1(+0%)																															(6) Barossa 4/1, C&D winner in July and good second back here on both outings since. Leading claims. Form here since April reads 22122; already due a 2lb rise; high on the list.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/1 -10%) Asadjumeirah		11 11/1(-10%)																															(7) Asadjumeirah 11/1, Course winner. Forty three runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 13 over C&D 10 days ago. All wins at sprint trips and unplaced in seven starts over 7f; losing run up to 43.
7th	1 7th (1) (9/1 +10%) Smalleytime		9 9/1(+10%)																															(1) Smalleytime 9/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 13 over C&D 10 days ago. Each-way claims. Beat Barossa by a head over C&D in April but wouldn't be certain to confirm the form.
8th	2 8th (2) (17/2 +47%) Urban Dandy		8.5 17/2(+47%)																															(2) Urban Dandy 17/2, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to firm, 50/1) 15 days ago. 1lb lower than when twice going close over this trip at Southwell in March; interesting.
9th	5 9th (5) (18/1 -125%) Polly The Rocket		18 18/1(-125%)																															(5) Polly The Rocket 18/1, C&D winner. 8/1, creditable fourth of 11 here 10 days ago. Sole win in 18 starts came over C&D, but held by Barossa on latest running.
10th	8 10th (8) (50/1 -100%) Cage Rattler		50 50/1(-100%)																															(8) Cage Rattler 50/1, Unreliable individual. 10/1, twelfth of 13 over C&D 10 days ago. Hard to fancy after that. Little in four starts for this yard; well behind three of these over C&D ten days ago.

Having not been outside the first two on her last five starts here, BAROSSA looks the one to beat on the back of a narrow reversal over C&D last month. Runner-up over the same track and trip on his most recent outing, Drakeholes is taken to uphold form with Asadjumeirah (fourth). Polly The Rocket and Portoro are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

BAROSSA and Drakeholes boast solid C&D form this year and might be the pair to focus on, with the former taken to gain compensation for last week's near miss. Portoro and Filey Beach are others who should have a say.

The vote goes to URBAN DANDY, 1lb lower than when twice going close over 7f at Southwell in March. He remains unexposed over this far.

1	11 1st (11) (4/1 +38%) Midnight Stagger		4 4/1(+38%)																															(11) Midnight Stagger 4/1, Good second of 11 in nursery at Down Royal (7.1f, good to firm, 20/1) 28 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Merits serious consideration from a good draw. Took major step forward when 2nd over this trip last month; Joyce good value for his 5lb.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/1 -43%) Admirador		10 10/1(-43%)																															(1) Admirador 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1, sixth of 12 in maidenclaimer at Naas (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Switch to handicaps should see him in a better light. Not beaten far in Naas maiden on second start but low key efforts either side; tough mark.
3	14 3rd (14) (16/1 -78%) Senior Montecristo		16 16/1(-78%)																															(14) Senior Montecristo 16/1, 14/1, ninth of 14 in nursery at Naas (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces need to sharpen him up. Engaged 1.35 Bellewstown Thursday. Failed to improve on h'cap debut last time and cheekpieces need to have dramatic effect.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 +38%) Brigid's Cloak		10 10/1(+38%)																															(2) Brigid's Cloak 10/1, 25/1, below form sixth of 10 in maiden at Roscommon (7.5f, heavy) 45 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Stable in good form but has a lot to prove at present. Low-key efforts in maidens before 9l defeat on h'cap debut; struggled latest; tough mark.
5th	9 5th (9) (11/2 +39%) Katie Ross		5.5 11/2(+39%)																															(9) Katie Ross 11/2, Good fourth of 11 in nursery (12/1) at Down Royal (7.1f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Enters calculations. Only faded late when 4th on first try at 7f last month; eased 1lb; potential pace angle.
6th	12 6th (12) (10/1 +50%) Movin And Groovin		10 10/1(+50%)																															(12) Movin And Groovin 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 12 in nursery (33/1) at Galway (7f, soft) 62 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Modest form in maidens and didn't beat a rival on handicap debut last time.
7th	8 7th (8) (15/2 -15%) Annie Lavinia		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(8) Annie Lavinia 15/2, Ninth of 14 in maiden at this course (6f, 16/1) 14 days ago. Booking of Lee a plus. Makes handicap debut and there should be a bigger performance in her. Minor promise in 3 maidens and shaped like 7f may be okay here last time.
8th	6 8th (6) (40/1 -100%) Admiral Halsey		40 40/1(-100%)																															(6) Admiral Halsey 40/1, Twelfth of 16 in claimer (14/1) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 11 days ago. Makes polytrack/handicap debut. Needs to bounce back. Couldn't get competitive in maidens and struggled in a claimer last week; harsh mark.
9th	13 9th (13) (12/1 +14%) Therussiancomposer		12 12/1(+14%)																															(13) Therussiancomposer 12/1, Seventh of 9 in maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft, 33/1) 38 days ago, badly hampered. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut from a stiff mark on the face of it. Shown little in 3 sprint maidens so far; up in trip, widest draw for h'cap debut; gelded.
10th	3 10th (3) (25/1 -178%) Sassy Sox		25 25/1(-178%)																															(3) Sassy Sox 25/1, Eighth of 16 in claimer at Fairyhouse (7f, good, 14/1) 11 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Not disgraced on debut here (6f) but has gone backwards in 2 7f turf runs since.
11th	5 11th (5) (10/1 +38%) Boutella		10 10/1(+38%)																															(5) Boutella 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 12 in nursery at Down Royal (7.1f, good to firm, 9/1) 28 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Unplaced in 5; one of her better runs when 4th last month; h'capper slow to relent.
12th	10 12th (10) (14/1 -100%) Zaraahmando		14 14/1(-100%)																															(10) Zaraahmando 14/1, 20/1, creditable second of 12 in nursery at Down Royal (7.1f, good to firm) 28 days ago, despite being slowly away/racing freely. Makes polytrack debut. Best run when 2nd of 12 at Down Royal last month; tough draw this time; needs step forward.
13th	7 13th (7) (5/1 -67%) Eric Lock		5 5/1(-67%)																															(7) Eric Lock 5/1, 11/2, respectable fourth of 10 in nursery at Down Royal (5f, soft) 4 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Has good chance on pick of form. Respectable 4th over 5f on Monday but may not appreciate return to 7f.
14th	4 14th (4) (28/1 -211%) Bamako		28 28/1(-211%)																															(4) Bamako 28/1, 22/1, last of 12 in nursery at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) 48 days ago. Not taken lightly on best form but clearly a big bounce back is required. Minor promise in maidens; failed to get competitive in h'caps; return to 7f should suit.

The penny seemed to drop with MIDNIGHT STAGGER at Down Royal last time. Beaten less than a length when caught by the winner in the closing stages, he will likely launch another serious challenge with an apprentice's 5lb claim further helping his cause. Katie Ross could only manage fourth behind the selection, though she wasn't beaten that far, and looks worthy of another try over today's distance. Zaraahmando was no match for the winner when runner-up at the same Down Royal fixture, but Bamako may prove more of a threat representing last year's winning trainer.

MIDNIGHT STAGGER displayed improved form when runner-up at Down Royal a month ago and with that up there with the most persuasive form on offer, he looks the way to go from a handy draw. Eric Lock ought to be a factor from his current mark, with Annie Lavinia a potential improver now tackling a nursery.

This can go the way of MIDNIGHT STAGGER who was only just touched off last month and Wesley Joyce takes 5lb off this time.

1	4 1st (4) (10/1 -300%) Yaahobby		10 10/1(-300%)																															(4) Yaahobby 10/1, Improved on recent efforts when snapping a losing run over C&D 10 days ago. Carries a 5 lb penalty. Thereabouts but his record doesn't mark him down as an obvious one to follow up. Won over C&D ten days ago; 3lb wrong under penalty but unxposed over 7f.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 -40%) Concert Boy		7 7/1(-40%)																															(3) Concert Boy 7/1, Has a 1-30 record but the win did come over C&D. Shaped as if still in form when 5 lengths sixth of 11 to Yaahobby here last week. Visor back on. Can make presence felt. Behind a couple of these over C&D ten days ago and a record of 1-30 is a worry.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/2 +31%) Elettaria		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(7) Elettaria 11/2, C&D winner. Creditable third of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 22/1) 16 days ago, not ideally placed. 2lb lower than when winning over C&D a year ago; running well on turf lately; interesting.

More than capable at this Class 6 level if on a going day. 8lb below last winning mark, but 1m may suit him better on the AW now.
5th	8 5th (8) (13/2 +46%) Pop Favorite		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(8) Pop Favorite 13/2, Five-time course winner. 18/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (1m) 10 days ago. Five-time C&D winner, the latest off 4lb higher; shortlisted if coping with shorter trip.
6th	10 6th (10) (80/1 -471%) Sacree Fleur		80 80/1(-471%)																															(10) Sacree Fleur 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 5 in maiden at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 50/1) 73 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Could only consider if backed. Little in three starts on turf, but is a half-sister to a winner here; worth a second look.
7th	5 7th (5) (7/1 +42%) Scarfo		7 7/1(+42%)																															(5) Scarfo 7/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in July but not in the same form down the field on last 2 outings. A bounce back is needed. Regressive since winning at Wolverhampton in July; needs to halt the slide.
8th	2 8th (2) (9/2 +10%) Gordonstoun		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(2) Gordonstoun 9/2, Very good length third of 11 to Yaahobby in C&D handicap 10 days ago. Same mark this evening. Should figure again. Just over a length behind Yaahobby when third here ten days ago; 5lb better off; chance.
9th	6 9th (6) (18/1 -80%) Dawn Success		18 18/1(-80%)																															(6) Dawn Success 18/1, No form of worth, including well held on recent Wolverhampton handicap debut. Still early days for top stable but cheekpieces will need to spark improvement. Little to get excited about in four starts including three on Tapeta; cheekpieces on.
10th	9 10th (9) (16/1 -14%) Curious Mrs Fox		16 16/1(-14%)																															(9) Curious Mrs Fox 16/1, Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (10.2f, 14/1) 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Significantly back down in trip. Others more persuasive. 0-10; twice placed on turf this year, but well held in both visits here.

GORDONSTOUN (third) may have a length to make up with Yaahobby (first) from their most recent clash over C&D, but Liam Bailey's charge is 5lb better off on this occasion and was carried left late in that contest. He can regain the winning thread, with Concert Boy (sixth) another to note from that event. Elettaria, whose last win came at this track a year ago, completes the shortlist.

A chance is taken on END ZONE back down in a Class 6. Concert Boy wasn't seen to best effect behind Yaahobby here last week and can bounce back to form and provide the chief threat ahead of Gordonstoun.

The choice is ELETTARIA who has dropped 2lb lower than when winning over C&D a year ago.

1	5 1st (5) (13/2 +54%) Right And True		6.5 13/2(+54%)																															(5) Right And True 13/2, Career best when winning 15-runner maiden (11/4) at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 11 days ago, driven clear. Makes polytrack debut and others possess more scope to improve. Won over 1m at Listowel, would get 15lb from stablemate Bernard Shaw in a handicap.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 -11%) Comanche Brave		5 5/1(-11%)																															(3) Comanche Brave 5/1, Debut worked out well and he did his bit for the form when winning 11-runner maiden at Cork (6f, good to firm, 8/13) 23 days ago, pushed out. Open to improvement. Built on promising debut with smooth 6f Cork maiden win, likely to be progressive.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/11 -14%) Bernard Shaw		0.909091 10/11(-14%)																															(2) Bernard Shaw 10/11, Promising sort. 11/2, 1¼ lengths third of 4 to Green Impact in Champions Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, good) 20 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers may sharpen him up and this is a slight drop back in class. One to beat. Wide-margin course winner before Group 2 run, might prefer further but has obvious chance.
4	1 4th (1) (15/2 -15%) Beckman		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(1) Beckman 15/2, Promising individual. 9/1, 4 lengths second of 6 to January in listed race at Tipperary (7.4f, good to firm) 56 days ago. Trainer going well and limit not yet reached. Second to a smart filly at Tipperary, meets Bernard Shaw on 11lb worse than handicap terms.
5th	9 5th (9) (13/2 +54%) Va Va Vroom		6.5 13/2(+54%)																															(9) Va Va Vroom 13/2, Fairly useful filly who made second start a winning one at Leopardstown in July. 7¼ lengths fifth of 7 to Simmering in Prix du Calvados (53/10) at Deauville (7f, good to soft) 48 days ago and this is a bit easier than that. Won a maiden in good style, not a bad effort when highly tried at Deauville in August.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 -122%) Minaun View		20 20/1(-122%)																															(7) Minaun View 20/1, Foaled April 22. €20,000 yearling, Bated Breath filly. Half-sister to 14.5f winner Recoup. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) who stayed 1¼m, sister to Prix Marcel Boussac winner Proportional. In top hands but this no easy introduction. Dam was a 1m Group 3 winner for Dermot Weld, newcomer is thrown in at the deep end.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -164%) Queens Fury		66 66/1(-164%)																															(8) Queens Fury 66/1, Fairly useful filly. 13 lengths fifth of 7 to Bernard Shaw in maiden at this course (8f, 10/3) 50 days ago. Failed to stay 1m in the race won by Bernard Shaw, held by Va Va Vroom on Gowran running.
8th	4 8th (4) (66/1 -32%) Kahu		66 66/1(-32%)																															(4) Kahu 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. 14/1, third of 9 in maiden at Listowel (7.1f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Tough ask. Has made the frame in 7f maidens at Gowran and Listowel, unlikely to be good enough here.
9th	6 9th (6) (200/1 -100%) Actin Like A Diva		200 200/1(-100%)																															(6) Actin Like A Diva 200/1, Winner at Navan in September. First run since leaving David Marnane when 6¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Rebel Diamond in listed race at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 125/1) 11 days ago. Sixth of seven in a 6f Listed race at Fairyhouse, trainer continues to set the bar high.

Having posted a solid third over a mile in the Group 2 Champions Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown last month, BERNARD SHAW makes plenty of appeal dropping into Listed company. The son of Into Mischief showed plenty of early speed on that occasion and a return to 7f holds no fear. The biggest threat may emerge from Comanche Brave, who justified strong support in the market when coasting home at Cork 23 days ago. Va Va Vroom and Beckman are unlikely to be far behind.

Having won a 1m maiden here on second start, BERNARD SHAW still looked a work-in-progress when third in Group 2 company 3 weeks ago. The application of blinkers will help in that regard and he's the one to beat at listed level, with Beckman and Comanche Brace fancied to offer most resistance.

Having been the trainer's second-string in a four-runner Group 2 event at Leopardstown, BERNARD SHAW gets the chance to shine here

Enters calculations. Back to form when second last time and still below her last winning mark; shortlisted.
2	7 2nd (7) (13/2 +28%) Little Ted		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(7) Little Ted 13/2, Unreliable individual. C&D winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in August. Fifth of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 20 days ago, not ideally placed. Others more persuasive. Record over C&D reads 144542442; only beaten a head on his last visit in July; a player.

Creditable second of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 22/1) 22 days ago, running on. Likely to give another good account.

5th	2 5th (2) (6/1 -71%) Bicep		6 6/1(-71%)																															(2) Bicep 6/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Good second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 17/2) 8 days ago, having run of race. Has to be taken seriously. 3lb well in after recent narrow defeat at Southwell, but this stiff 1m may not be ideal.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/2 +36%) Strangerontheshore		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(6) Strangerontheshore 9/2, C&D winner. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (15/2) at this C&D 10 days ago. Should be on the premises. Record over C&D reads 2182; 5lb below last winning mark and 1lb well in.
7th	9 7th (9) (28/1 -40%) Coligone Kate		28 28/1(-40%)																															(9) Coligone Kate 28/1, Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 14/1) 16 days ago. Hood back on. Has work to do. 0-24 and new headgear combination needs to make a difference.
8th	8 8th (8) (11/1 +8%) Dougies Dream		11 11/1(+8%)																															(8) Dougies Dream 11/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D 31 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Two of this four wins have come over C&D, but well held back here last month; best watched.
9th	1 9th (1) (17/2 -113%) Pallas Lord		8.5 17/2(-113%)																															(1) Pallas Lord 17/2, 4-time C&D winner. 5 wins from 10 runs this year. 11/1, creditable second of 14 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to soft). Off 166 days. Always warrants respect at this track. Won five times over 7f/1m here at the start of the year, but is likely to need the run.

Pallas Lord is hard to ignore with seven career wins at this venue, but he hasn't been seen since April and lacks race fitness. Strangerontheshore has to be considered as a C&D winner, but BERNADINE is still preferred. Only beaten a length at Southwell last month, she was put up 1lb for that, but Kaiya Fraser now claims 3lb from the saddle and she looks attractively handicapped.

BERNADINE is well treated on her best form and seemed to be perked up by blinkers last time, so she's preferred to Bicep, who was also back on track recently. Turbo Command is expected to give another good account of himself.

The vote goes to LITTLE TED who has proved consistent over C&D since the summer of last year. He was beaten a head on his last visit.

Second of 13 in maiden at Cork (8f, good to firm, 9/1) on debut 23 days ago, slowly away. May well do better. Encouraging belated debut when 2nd last month behind well backed favourite; should improve.
2	8 2nd (8) (16/5 +60%) Mags		3.2 16/5(+60%)																															(8) Mags 16/5, Fair filly. Good second of 13 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 14 days ago. Needs considering. Best run yet with C&D 2nd in h'cap latest but suspicion a return to maidens could be tough.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 +31%) An Mhi Abu		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(2) An Mhi Abu 9/2, Lightly-raced gelding. Tongue strap on for 1st time, good eighth of 18 in handicap (22/1) at Leopardstown (7.1f, good) 43 days ago, never nearer. Makes polytrack debut. Ought to be in the shake-up. Promising debut over 7f but hasn't matched that since inc' h'cap bow most recently.

Looks competitive on form if shrugging off latest effort. Not beaten far on debut back to form with 3l C&D defeat latest; tough ask in maiden now.
5th	11 5th (11) (13/2 -63%) Princess Aurea		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(11) Princess Aurea 13/2, Fair filly. Didn't enjoy a clear run when good sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Merits serious consideration. Showed ability in maidens before C&D 6th on h'cap bow; tougher task here and drawn widest.
6th	14 6th (14) (12/1 -167%) Tiffany Twisted		12 12/1(-167%)																															(14) Tiffany Twisted 12/1, Twice-raced filly. 7/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 11 days ago, slowly away.

7th	12 7th (12) (33/1 -106%) Profit Surge		33 33/1(-106%)																															(12) Profit Surge 33/1, Thrice-raced filly. 28/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 11 days ago so needs to get back on track. Low-key debut before Gowran 6th; didn't build on that at Fairyhouse since.
8th	10 8th (10) (33/1 +0%) Overdue Revival		33 33/1(+0%)																															(10) Overdue Revival 33/1, Twice-raced filly. 66/1, good fourth of 11 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 11 days ago. Can give a good account. Stepped forward from low-key debut with maiden 4th last week; needs another step forward.
9th	9 9th (9) (50/1 -100%) Our Katie Girl		50 50/1(-100%)																															(9) Our Katie Girl 50/1, Twice-raced filly. 28/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Navan (10.2f, good) 13 days ago. Significantly down in trip. 7th on debut wasn't devoid of promise but struggled 1m2f since.
10th	4 10th (4) (10/1 +38%) Louiescall		10 10/1(+38%)																															(4) Louiescall 10/1, Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. 15/2, last of 12 in handicap at Listowel (7.1f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Needs to bounce back. Now 0-8 and didn't beat a rival at Listowel last week; AW debut.
11th	5 11th (5) (150/1 -329%) Silk Degrees		150 150/1(-329%)																															(5) Silk Degrees 150/1, Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 7 in maiden at Down Royal (7.1f, soft, 125/1) 4 days ago. Shown very little in two runs at huge odds so far, including at Down Royal on Monday.

Having shaped with promise on both previous visits to this track, PRINCESS AUREA can get her head in front here. A staying-on third over a mile in July, she subsequently ran well in two turf maidens, before finishing mid-division on handicap debut back on the Polytrack last time. Although drawn widest, the Andrew Slattery-trained filly can come stands side into the straight to deliver her challenge. An Mhi Abu has yet to tackle this surface but has shown enough on five starts to suggest he can win races. Ordinarily a maiden might have been too steep for the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding but this looks a weak contest. Recent course and distance runner-up Mags has work to do at these weights but has proven her ability to act around here.

Plenty with chances but PRINCESS AUREA didn't enjoy the rub of the green when a good C&D sixth last time out so edges the vote. Gavin Cromwell's in-form An Mhi Abu could emerge as the main danger on his first go on polytrack, with Yaxchilan, Black Storm and Louiescall all in the mix too.

It was a promising debut from BLACK STORM last month and with a less exposed profile than the remainder, he may progress past these

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 25/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Something to prove. Little to shout about in two starts since returning from wind surgery last month.

Carries penalty. Expected to be bang there. Has won twice on turf in recent months and looked unlucky on Wednesday; major player.

Not taken lightly. 0-15 since winning twice on January; edging back down the weights; shouldn't be far away.
7th	8 7th (8) (5/1 -25%) Street Life		5 5/1(-25%)																															(8) Street Life 5/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 5/2) 5 days ago. Visor back on. Worthy of respect in a thin race. Dual C&D winner who has been placed in four of his last five starts; each-way claims again.

Paul Midgley won this in 2022 and has two chances here, with Beverley fourth Silky Robin seemingly the best of them on his return from a wind operation. He can go well despite top-weight, but he may have to give way to MUSICAL DIVA. A beaten joint-favourite last time out at Beverley, she deserves a third win after numerous placed efforts. Southwell second Street Life is another to consider, with Rhys Elliott's 7lb claim a major bonus.

KYBER CRYSTAL is thriving and still looked well treated when runner-up at Musselburgh a couple of days ago so, despite the quick turnaround, she's worth another chance. Street Life is shaping up well and has a promising apprentice on board, so he's the main threat ahead of Musical Diva.

Preference is for dual C&D winner STREET LIFE who has been running well in defeat lately as when runner-up at Southwell last Sunday.

Yard having good spell. Another bold show likely back in a handicap. Has run well in defeat on turf this year, runaway winner at Laytown, should be in the mix.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 -167%) I Am Superman		8 8/1(-167%)																															(2) I Am Superman 8/1, Course winner. 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good) 20 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Vastly experienced, retains plenty of ability, went close at Gowran on penultimate start.
3	3 3rd (3) (33/1 -106%) Hightimeyouwon		33 33/1(-106%)																															(3) Hightimeyouwon 33/1, C&D winner.

Eight-time turf winner, has rarely competed at this track, placed twice from three visits.

Useful AW form last winter, including a course 6f win, ran in a premier handicap last time.

Latest win at Gowran in July. 17/2, respectable sixth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 43 days ago. Back down in trip. Stable in good form. Shortlist material as he's on his last winning mark. Fair run over 1m1f at Leopardstown last time, this trip is probably more suitable.
8th	6 8th (6) (14/1 -155%) Bellaphina		14 14/1(-155%)																															(6) Bellaphina 14/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good, 8/1) 11 days ago, driven out. Makes polytrack debut and 6 lb rise asks for more but she's clearly in good order. Added to last year's two wins with recent Fairyhouse success, raised 6lb, no AW experience.

I AM SUPERMAN, who is one-from-one at this track, can maintain his unbeaten record. A winner here in December, the Michael O'Callaghan-trained eight-year-old followed up back on turf next time. Having run with credit in Group races and premier handicaps subsequently, the eight-year-old should find this easier. Malex was well supported when making a winning reappearance after a long absence at Tipperary last month. While there has to be a slight concern about him replicating that effort on his second run back, he would be a serious threat if doing so. Impressive Laytown winner Tough Talk is hard to assess on his first start on the Polytrack. Provided he acts on the surface, the Ger Lyons-trained four-year-old can play a leading role.

This has an open feel to it but the return to the AW should suit DAAMBERDIPLOMAT so he gets the tentative nod. Pier Pressure is back on his last winning mark so he enters the reckoning, with Tough Talk also dangerous if building on his Laytown win.

This looks open and it may be worth taking a chance with DAAMBERDIPLOMAT who ran in a premier handicap at Leopardstown last time

1	2 1st (2) (11/8 +77%) Kitaab		1.375 11/8(+77%)																															(2) Kitaab 11/8, Unreliable individual. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap (5/1) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 41 days ago, nearest finish. Capable of a bold show off this mark but he comes with risks attached. In fair form for new yard and has claims if he can find some extra spark back on AW.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/1 -67%) Carlton And Co		10 10/1(-67%)																															(3) Carlton And Co 10/1, Course winner. Latest win at Leicester in July. 9/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 37 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Likely to find one or two too good. Won at Leicester in July and had an excuse at 7f latest; could be dangerous back in trip.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/3 +33%) Flash The Dash		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(5) Flash The Dash 10/3, C&D winner. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to firm, 5/1) 15 days ago, needing stiffer test. Could have a part to play, granted a strong pace to aim at. Dual C&D winner who is generally reliable and he's respected back on AW.

5th	7 5th (7) (16/1 +20%) Warminster		16 16/1(+20%)																															(7) Warminster 16/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 23 days ago and this 4-y-o is likely to come up short once more. Won at Ayr in May but well held in last six runs and he's 1-22 on AW; down the list.

Couldn't rule out. Two wins at Catterick in August and has claims if she can transfer her form back to AW.
7th	4 7th (4) (5/1 -150%) Spartan Fighter		5 5/1(-150%)																															(4) Spartan Fighter 5/1, Five-time C&D winner. 28/1, good second of 13 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago and can be expected to make a bold bid to go one better off the same mark.

SPARTAN FIGHTER clearly loves it here with six victories and plenty of places to his name, and he returned to form when a short-head second here last time out. He looks all set for another big run in this field, having won off higher marks in the past. One Of Our Own has won three times this year at Catterick and if she can transfer her best form to the all-weather, she could go well. Flash The Dash is the pick of the remainder.

This looks ripe for SPARTAN FIGHTER, who has returned to form with solid efforts here the last twice and a sixth C&D success beckons for the 7-y-o. One of Our Own came up short when bidding for the hat-trick at Catterick but that was a respectable effort nonetheless and she earns the vote ahead of Flash The Dash for forecast purposes.

This can go to SPARTAN FIGHTER, who is a Tapeta specialist and was only just caught off this mark over C&D ten days ago.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
