1	1 1st (1) (5/2 +17%) Invincible Molly		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(1) Invincible Molly 5/2, Invincible Army who improved on opening pair of exploits when landing 6-runner York novice (6f, soft) 16 days ago, leading entering final 1f. One to consider making handicap debut for yard enjoying a fine season. Off the mark in a York novice last time; well drawn; should be competitive on h'cap debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (17/2 +29%) Havana Rose		8.5 17/2(+29%)																															(5) Havana Rose 17/2, Built on debut third at Carlisle when opening her account back at that venue (5.8f) early last month. Looked unsuited by the drop to 5f when midfield in 13-runner Redcar novice since and whilst this is more suitable, her opening mark demands further progress. 6f novice winner last month; missed the break last time (5f); chance on h'cap debut.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/2 +9%) Catton Lady		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(4) Catton Lady 5/2, Made a winning debut at Carlisle (5f) in June and dispelled a lesser display back from 3 months off when second in a C&D novice 18 days ago, forced to switch 2f out and noted keeping on well. Of definite interest now handicapping on the back of that. Best form since Carlisle debut win when 2nd in C&D novice last time; quite interesting.
4	10 4th (10) (14/1 -17%) Inspiring Speeches		14 14/1(-17%)																															(10) Inspiring Speeches 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in minor event at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft, 28/1) 18 days ago, the longer trip appearing to stretch him. This rates more suitable but progress required on nursery debut. Has shown some promise but doesn't look particularly well treated on handicap debut.
5th	8 5th (8) (22/1 -83%) Chumbaa		22 22/1(-83%)																															(8) Chumbaa 22/1, Deservedly off the mark in a Hamilton maiden (6f) in August and followed up on nursery debut at Ripon (5f) 2 weeks later. Below form since but handy draw to operate from and she's an each-way player for all she's vulnerable to less exposed sorts. Two nursery wins in August, but not running as well now; well drawn but others stronger.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 +0%) Count Palatine		14 14/1(+0%)																															(2) Count Palatine 14/1, Fair gelding. Returned to form when giving best only late on at Newbury (6f) in August. Not matched that level since, latterly in valuable sales race at the Curragh but drying ground will help his cause returned to calmer waters. Chance on his Newbury h'cap 2nd in August (6f, good to soft) but not run as well since.
7th	6 7th (6) (28/1 -12%) Beechwood Star		28 28/1(-12%)																															(6) Beechwood Star 28/1, Placed on first 3 starts in novice company prior to a disappointing effort on nursery debut at Newcastle (7f) in August. Probably best not judged too harshly on latest run in valuable minor event at Naas (6f) 25 days ago but he may be drawn a little wider than ideal here. Two decent novice runs in the summer; well beaten after being hampered latest; h'cap debut.
8th	7 8th (7) (10/1 +0%) Willolarupi		10 10/1(+0%)																															(7) Willolarupi 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden who, on the back of being gelded, matched previous best when third of 13 in a Beverley maiden (5f, heavy) 3 weeks ago, not quicken only last ½f. Feasible to think this step up to 6f could bring about improvement on nursery bow. Promise in all four runs over 5f; good 2nd on soft latest; chance on first run at 6f.
9th	3 9th (3) (11/2 -10%) Validated		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(3) Validated 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 2/1, fifth of 8 in maiden at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft) 25 days ago, proving too free to last out over the longest trip he's faced. Remains with potential now handicapping and well worth a crack at this shorter trip. Visored 1st time. Promise on three runs over 7f; can pull hard so drop in trip with headgear might suit.
10th	9 10th (9) (12/1 -33%) Salamanca Lad		12 12/1(-33%)																															(9) Salamanca Lad 12/1, Profitable gelding who readily surpassed his form in novice company when winning 7-runner nursery at Thirsk (6f, soft, 7/2) 21 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Merits consideration now he's up and running. Won Thirsk nursery latest (2nd well beaten next time); up 4lb; other preferred.
11th	11 11th (11) (100/1 -203%) Oceanic Wonder		100 100/1(-203%)																															(11) Oceanic Wonder 100/1, Posted best effort to date when second on nursery debut at Beverley (7.4f) in July but not in anything like the same form either outing subsequently, seventh of 9 in nursery at Catterick (7f, soft) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive. Second on nursery debut (7.5f) three runs back but lesser runs since; bit to prove.

LTO Selection:

Handicap debutant Validated hasn't really gone forward from his encouraging debut at Kempton in August, but is a possible improver with a visor now tried as he drops back to 6f for the first time. Invincible Molly is progressive and is feared on the back of a breakthrough triumph at York. However, this can go the way of CATTON LADY, whose recent second here is working out well and her previous C&D experience might be advantageous.

CATTON LADY got firmly back on track returning from 3 months off and caught the eye to boot when staying on well for second in a C&D novice 18 days ago. That marked her down as one to be interested in now handicapping and she earns the vote, with York-scorer Invincible Molly and Validated, who looks worthy of a try at this shorter trip, heading the dangers. Salamanca Lad is another in the mix.

Having got off the mark at York last time INVINCIBLE MOLLY is selected to follow up on her handicap debut by beating Willolarupi.

1	2 1st (2) (15/8 +16%) Kartoon And Co		1.875 15/8(+16%)																															(2) Kartoon And Co 15/8, Half-brother to French chaser Hurry Up (2¼m-21f winner, by Nom de D'La), out of a half-sister to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser (winner around 2m) Made In Montot. Tongue tied on debut and a likely type on paper. Out of a French chase winner; represents a top stable.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 -33%) Billytherealbigred		8 8/1(-33%)																															(1) Billytherealbigred 8/1, From the family of useful chaser (stays 3¼m) Storm Control. Starts out with yard among the winners. Out of a half-sister to two useful jumpers; makes appeal on paper.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/8 +39%) Summer Night City		1.375 11/8(+39%)																															(3) Summer Night City 11/8, Brother to 4 winners, including fair hurdler Lady Reset and bumper winner Luckinthecity. Wears hood. Yard in top form (had 2 first-time-out hurdles winners in the last fortnight). Lots to like. Out of a fairly useful Flat-racer who has produced four winners (one over hurdles).
4	4 |PU| (4) (4/1 -78%) Lecce Lady		4 4/1(-78%)																															(4) Lecce Lady 4/1, Half-sister to bumper winner Audacity (by Pivotal). Dam 11.5f/1½m winner who stayed 1¾m. Hooded for debut and she's an interesting newcomer. Half-sister to a Listed bumper winner; nice pedigree; hooded on debut.

LTO Selection:

---

KARTOON AND CO represents top connections and the son of Balko, who is related to several winners in France, gets the vote to make a successful start. Ben Brookhouse has his string in fine fettle and his Summer Night City commands plenty of respect, even though he sports a hood on debut. Similar comments apply to Lecce Lady, whose half-brother was a Listed bumper winner as a juvenile.

Four likeable 3-y-os for hurdling on paper and the betting may help sort them out, with SUMMER NIGHT CITY chanced for a red-hot yard that sent out a winning juvenile hurdler at Plumpton recently.

Guesswork is needed to pick the winner from this field of four newcomers but Dan Skelton's KARTOON AND CO might be the answer.

1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +0%) High Point		4 4/1(+0%)																															(1) High Point 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/4, fair fourth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (8f) 12 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Considered. May well start to progress now handicapping and upped to 1m2f; still of interest.
2	2 2nd (2) (13/2 +46%) Spaceport		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(2) Spaceport 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in maiden (10/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Needs more. Could well improve now upped in trip on handicap debut; similar type to High Point.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 +13%) Monterosa		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(4) Monterosa 7/2, Thrice-raced maiden who posted a creditable fourth of 9 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Hood on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Possibilities. Out of her connections' Oaks winner Anapurna; very interesting off an opening mark of 73.
4	5 4th (5) (2/1 +11%) Phoenix Passion		2 2/1(+11%)																															(5) Phoenix Passion 2/1, Promising sort who posted a career best when winning 6-runner nursery at Yarmouth (8f, soft) 18 days ago. Showed a good attitude there and he's weighted to go in again. Yarmouth success came in a lower grade but he may improve further.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 +29%) Beauty Generation		5 5/1(+29%)																															(3) Beauty Generation 5/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Won 6-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (8f, 3/1) 62 days ago. Up in trip for his handicap debut and firmly in the picture. Opened his account at Chelmsford two months ago and may progress again.
6th	6 6th (6) (22/1 -340%) Makuri		22 22/1(-340%)																															(6) Makuri 22/1, Modest maiden. 125/1, sixth of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 86 days ago. Significantly up in trip with more required now going into handicaps. Holds weak claims on her Newmarket efforts; handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

---

PHOENIX PASSION displayed a fine attitude to get off the mark on his nursery debut at Yarmouth and a 4lb rise is unlikely to stop Ed Walker's colt from taking another step forward. The extra couple of furlongs may also be in his favour. High Point has been competitive on all three starts to date and he is respected, while others for the shortlist include Beauty Generation and Monterosa.

PHOENIX PASSION took his form up a notch when going in at Yarmouth on his nursery debut last time and a 4 lb rise looks insufficient to prevent him from following up. Beauty Generation is feared most on the back of his Chelmsford City maiden succes with fellow handicap debutants High Point and Monterosa also in the mix.

1	8 1st (8) (9/1 +10%) Mount King		9 9/1(+10%)																															(8) Mount King 9/1, Belatedly off the mark under an enterprising ride at Thirsk (1m) 2 starts back and again ran well whilst seemingly being undone by rise in weights/step up in grade when fifth in a C&D handicap 18 days ago.
2	9 2nd (9) (33/1 +0%) Tasever		33 33/1(+0%)																															(9) Tasever 33/1, In good heart in the spring but has found run of good form stalling in recent starts, weakening over 1f out when seventh of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, soft) 26 days ago. Others make greater appeal.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 +23%) Metahorse		5 5/1(+23%)																															(1) Metahorse 5/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (3/1) at Beverley (7.4f, heavy) 13 days ago, not quicken only final 100 yds. Balance of his form suggests he'll give another good account returned to 1m.
4	2 4th (2) (4/1 +33%) Indiana Be		4 4/1(+33%)																															(2) Indiana Be 4/1, Latest win at Hamilton (8.3f) in July. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 16/1) 18 days ago, possibly doing a bit too much too soon. Handy draw to adopt his customary front-running tactics and likely to give another good account.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/1 +13%) Create		7 7/1(+13%)																															(6) Create 7/1, Is something of a mix on pedigree but she got off the mark in good style on debut at Southwell (1m) in February and matched that back from 7 months off when second at that venue 33 days ago (despite being badly hampered). More to come now handicapping on turf.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/1 -125%) Eastern Charm		9 9/1(-125%)																															(4) Eastern Charm 9/1, Kodiac filly who has enjoyed a fine campaign, bagging fifth victory on trot (sixth in total) at Ripon (1m) last month. Hard to knock her latest Sandown third from career-high mark and she ought to remain competitive.
7th	5 7th (5) (9/2 -29%) Tobetso		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(5) Tobetso 9/2, Winner at Brighton on final start for William Haggas and made a positive start for new connections, resuming winning ways at Ripon (1m) prior to a good fourth over that trip at Ayr 18 days ago, steady headway final 1f and keeping on. Claims again from handy draw.
8th	3 8th (3) (7/2 +46%) In These Shoes		3.5 7/2(+46%)																															(3) In These Shoes 7/2, Back to form when fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on penultimate start and she backed that up when third of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (9f) 10 days ago. Drop in grade here rates a likely plus and she's operating from last winning mark.
9th	7 9th (7) (14/1 -17%) My Honey B		14 14/1(-17%)																															(7) My Honey B 14/1, Has steadily gone the right way this term, completing hat-trick at Nottingham (8.3f) in August. Creditable fourth from this mark behind Mount King at Thirsk (1m) early on last month and whilst she's a likeable sort, this does rate tougher.

LTO Selection:

---

Several hold good chances in a competitive event, not least Metahorse, who is a battle-hardened campaigner and has been cut some slack by the handicapper. Darryll Holland's gelding is back on his last winning mark and rates as a big player from a handy draw. However, the vote goes to the less exposed TOBETSO, who has done nothing but improve since joining Declan Carroll and another big run is expected now he is proven over the trip. Mount King and My Honey B complete the shortlist.

Having made a solid start for Declan Carroll, there's a good chance TOBETSO will be suited by this stiffer track given how he shaped when fourth at Ayr 18 days ago and he could just be worth chancing to come out on top from a handy draw. Create is less exposed than most and she's feared on turf/handicap debut, with prolific-winner Eastern Charm another to consider in a wide-open affair.

The progressive EASTERN CHARM is taken to bounce back to form after a lesser run last time by beating Indiana Be and Tobetso.

1	10 1st (10) (3.5/1 +68%) Shetland Tony		3.5 3.5/1(+68%)																															(10) Shetland Tony 3.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Gordon Elliott. Returns from 11 months off now but new yard is going well so he can't be discounted. Disappointed on handicap debut for Gordon Elliott last year but showed promise beforehand.
2	11 2nd (11) (4/1 -14%) Shinji		4 4/1(-14%)																															(11) Shinji 4/1, Proved a class apart in Fakenham bumper for Roger Varian (subsequently sold £60,000) in November. Good third in listed bumper at Newbury after but well held in a hood in Aintree Grade 2 bumper in April. Very much one to consider now going hurdling. Placed in Listed Newbury bumper in February and a good hurdling prospect this season.
3	9 3rd (9) (3.5/1 -75%) Schmilsson		3.5 3.5/1(-75%)																															(9) Schmilsson 3.5/1, Fairly useful 10f winner on Flat in 2022. Gelded and bought from Andrew Balding 40,000 gns so he's an interesting hurdling debutant despite his long absence for a yard among the winners. Useful Flat-racer for Andrew Balding; makes stable/hurdle debut after 389-day absence.
4	6 4th (6) (18/1 +28%) Footloose Man		18 18/1(+28%)																															(6) Footloose Man 18/1, Modest maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 20 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time with more needed if he's to get off the mark. Has shown some ability but low-grade handicaps are probably on the agenda after this.
5th	4 5th (4) (5/1 +38%) Kenzai Warrior		5 5/1(+38%)																															(4) Kenzai Warrior 5/1, Fairly useful winner on Flat. Good second in 2m Worcester novice in June but only ninth in handicap there 48 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Useful Flat-racer but nothing special over hurdles, and has mixed record in this sphere.
6th	1 6th (1) (22/1 -83%) Captain Attridge		22 22/1(-83%)																															(1) Captain Attridge 22/1, Fair maiden on the Flat (stays 1¼m) who looks a work-in-progress over hurdles, third of 10 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good) in May. Should progress further on his return. Improved with experience over hurdles in the spring and probably still has more to offer.
7th	8 7th (8) (200/1 -100%) Mountain Bay		200 200/1(-100%)																															(8) Mountain Bay 200/1, Has offered little in bumpers at Fontwell and Plumpton this winter. Off 6 months ahead of his hurdles debut with lots to prove. Well beaten in both bumpers last season and can only be watched on today's hurdling debut.
8th	5 8th (5) (125/1 -279%) Blackacre		125 125/1(-279%)																															(5) Blackacre 125/1, Back in trip when only ninth of 11 in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, soft) 7 days ago. Sort to do better once qualified for handicaps. Placed in a bumper in April but soundly beaten on both hurdling starts for new stable.
9th	3 9th (3) (10/1 -67%) Global Esteem		10 10/1(-67%)																															(3) Global Esteem 10/1, Fairly useful 1m handicapper on Flat for John Gallagher, ninth in 1m Ascot handicap last month. Much respected on his hurdles/yard debut. Fairly useful Flat-racer at up to 1m, with 5-42 strike-rate; makes stable/hurdle debut.
10th	7 10th (7) (200/1 -506%) Jormungandr		200 200/1(-506%)																															(7) Jormungandr 200/1, Nathaniel gelding who showed a bit when fifth on Southwell bumper debut but he beat only one on his hurdles debut at Fontwell last time. Lots more is required. Tailed off after racing too freely on hurdling debut a Fontwell (2m1f) in August.
11th	2 11th (2) (9/2 +36%) Dixie Flyer		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(2) Dixie Flyer 9/2, Fair ex-Irish hurdler. Came in a below-par eighth of 11 in handicap at Tramore (16f, good) on his final run for Henry De Bromhead.but holds leading form claims if back on song for his new yard here. 0-9 over hurdles in Ireland but showed some fair form; big player on today's stable debut.

LTO Selection:

SHINJI was placed in a Listed bumper at Newbury on his second start before finding the Grade 2 event at Aintree too hot to handle. Connections have acquired the services of Brian Hughes in the saddle and the four-year-old has been found a fine starting point for his hurdling career. Schmilsson had looked promising on the level before his form tailed off, but a change of code might rekindle the enthusiasm. Kenzai Warrior and Shetland Tony are others capable of being in the mix.

The market should reveal plenty here but Olly Murphy has his string in excellent nick so his SCHMILSSON, a fairly useful Flat winner for Andrew Balding, is taken to defy a long absence and go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Shinji brings fairly useful bumper form to the table and is greatly respected on his hurdles bow, while the ex-Irish pair Dixie Flyer and Shetland Tony have the form to play a part too if at their best on their respective debuts for new handlers.

Preference is for Sean Curran's new recruit DIXIE FLYER, in the hope he can replicate his fair Irish form. Shinji is feared most.

1	3 1st (3) (10/1 +0%) Repertoire		10 10/1(+0%)																															(3) Repertoire 10/1, Latest win at Newmarket in May. 15/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 52 days ago. Enters calculations if shrugging off latest effort. On a fair mark and it was rare for him to run so moderately as he did last time.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 +33%) Cabinet Of Clowns		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(1) Cabinet Of Clowns 10/3, Latest win at Chepstow in August. Good second of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 12/1) 26 days ago. Well in the mix. Better for blinkers and only went down narrowly last time on the AW off 1lb lower.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 +25%) King Of Scotia		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(5) King Of Scotia 9/2, Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Needs considering. First run over 1m when fourth at Newmarket and racing wide wouldn't have helped.
4	10 4th (10) (4/1 +56%) My Ambition		4 4/1(+56%)																															(10) My Ambition 4/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Bath in June. Not disgraced when seventh of 11 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm, 17/2) 26 days ago. Possibilities. Below par latest but this summer's peak form makes him a player off this mark.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/1 -13%) Sea Eagle		9 9/1(-13%)																															(4) Sea Eagle 9/1, Lightly-raced winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm, 13/2) 41 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Can give a good account if back on his A-game. Has the ability to make a mark should new headgear help in any way.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/4 +45%) Azahara Palace		2.75 11/4(+45%)																															(7) Azahara Palace 11/4, 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Chepstow in September. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 16 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Holding her form well as Newmarket last time wasn't that bad a run.
8th	2 8th (2) (80/1 -220%) Cash Out		80 80/1(-220%)																															(2) Cash Out 80/1, Lightly-raced winner. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good, 22/1). Off 135 days. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Must improve. AW winner for Joseph O'Brien; quiet handicap debut and then sold on for 55,000gns.
9th	6 9th (6) (11/1 -10%) Night Arc		11 11/1(-10%)																															(6) Night Arc 11/1, Latest win at Sandown in July. Fair seventh of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 32 days ago so not totally dismissed. Only 3lb higher than for his last win and a strong pace up front would aid his cause.

LTO Selection:

Blinkers have squeezed some extra improvement out of CABINET OF CLOWNS lately and the four-year-old is fancied to build on his close-up second at Southwell. Repertoire has dropped to his last winning mark and merits respect on the return to class 4 company. David Simcock's gelding may give the selection most to do, ahead of Dream Of Mischief, who won over C&D in July off a 2lb lower rating.

A few with chances but DREAM OF MISCHIEF scored over C&D in July and signalled he's ready to go in again when a promising Lingfield third last time out. Three-time 2023 scorer Azahara Palace appeals as the one to give Amanda Perrett's 3-y-o most to do, although in-form duo Cabinet of Clowns and King of Scotia warrant plenty of respect too.

1	2 1st (2) (7/2 +68%) Black Kalanisi		3.5 7/2(+68%)																															(2) Black Kalanisi 7/2, Versatile veteran who has confirmed he still has plenty to offer upon returning this term, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Haydock (14f, soft) 10 days ago, outpaced from 2f out and plugging on. Return to further likely in his favour here. 3lb lower than for last win and creditable third on soft ground last time; each-way chance.
2	9 2nd (9) (18/1 +28%) Bonne Vitesse		18 18/1(+28%)																															(9) Bonne Vitesse 18/1, Course winner. Latest win at Ripon in May. 12/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good to firm) 89 days ago, left behind early in the straight. Break needs to have perked her up. 2m soft-ground winner at Catterick in May but well beaten both starts since; hard to fancy.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +0%) Cinnodin		4 4/1(+0%)																															(3) Cinnodin 4/1, Has had a good year, winning 4 handicaps at up to 2m, prior to a pair of solid in-the-frame efforts on turf/AW. Latest York fifth was a rather lacklustre display 16 days ago but he's not out of things dropping back down in grade. Two good runs on soft/heavy in the summer; well beaten last time but could bounce back.
4	6 4th (6) (15/8 +37%) Cold Henry		1.875 15/8(+37%)																															(6) Cold Henry 15/8, Ended last term with back-to-back victories at Catterick (2m) and largely consistent this season, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (14f) despite finding the test inadequate. This rates much more suitable and worth considering from steadily easing mark. Won on soft in 2022; good second on faster ground over C&D in June; quite interesting.
5th	10 5th (10) (11/2 +27%) Dragonball Prince		5.5 11/2(+27%)																															(10) Dragonball Prince 11/2, Creditable second of 5 in handicap at this course (17.1f, good to soft, 9/2) 18 days ago, having run of race. Still, no reason why he won't go well again now upped further in trip. 0-12 but in good form with cheekpieces, last time finished 2nd over 2m1f here; contender.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 -50%) Spritzin'		12 12/1(-50%)																															(8) Spritzin' 12/1, Maiden who has improved in line with the longer trip in handicaps, not seen to best effect allowing for the sedate gallop when fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (14f) 18 days ago. Can't be ruled out now stamina is drawn out further. 0-7; second over 1m4f here in July but not progressed; first run at further than 1m6f.
7th	7 7th (7) (33/1 -65%) Dereham		33 33/1(-65%)																															(7) Dereham 33/1, Course winner. 25/1, last of 5 in handicap at this course (17.1f, good to soft) 18 days ago, left behind final 1f. Bounce back not ruled out but worth noting she's yet to defy a mark this high. Patchy form this term but has a chance on his Newmarket win in June; not so good latest.
8th	5 8th (5) (11/1 +45%) Kalamity Kitty		11 11/1(+45%)																															(5) Kalamity Kitty 11/1, Successful all 3 starts at up to 2m early last year but not kicked on from an encouraging reappearance run this term and would need to see more before becoming of interest. 3-3 in 2022, but disappointing on last three starts; others make more appeal.
9th	1 9th (1) (66/1 -164%) Mukha Magic		66 66/1(-164%)																															(1) Mukha Magic 66/1, Latest win at Chelmsford (2M) in June. 18/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Ripon (16f, soft) 9 days ago, left behind under 2f out. Usual blinkers replace visor here but others make more appeal. Won for 11th time when scoring on AW last month; lesser runs since; soft ground a concern.

LTO Selection:

HEDONISTA gained a second success of the season when appearing to win with something in hand at Kempton last month and Ed Walker's filly could shrug off a 4lb rise on the switch to turf. Fellow three-year-old Dragonball Prince has posted some creditable efforts in defeat of late and could give the selection most to think about, ahead of the veteran Black Kalanisi, who has dropped to an attractive mark.

COLD HENRY quickly got back on track despite finding the test inadequate when fifth at Nottingham (14f) on his latest outing 2 weeks ago and, back at this more suitable trip, he shades the vote to come out on top. Kempton-scorer Hedonista and Dragonball Prince head up the dangers, with Spritzin' another worth keeping an eye on.

Despite a poor run last time the choice is CINNODIN, who stays well and is suited by soft ground. Dragonball Prince is next best.

1	5 1st (5) (11/2 +21%) Martalmix'jac		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(5) Martalmix'jac 11/2, Patchy record without victory over jumps. Tongue tie now added to cheekpieces and he's down another 5 lb in the weights (second in the novice handicap hurdle on this card last year off 91). Stayed on to snatch third here in June but two lesser efforts have followed.
2	4 2nd (4) (13/2 -30%) Famoso		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(4) Famoso 13/2, Finally opened his account (at the 17th time of asking under Rules) in 17f handicap chase here in August (rallied well). Not so good at Warwick since but this is easier and he could go well if staying. Course winner over 2m1f in August and didn't run badly at Warwick last month; big player.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/2 -65%) Time To Bite		5.5 11/2(-65%)																															(3) Time To Bite 11/2, 0-22 in all codes over jumps, though running well (including over C&D) when last seen. Worth chancing in a thin race first time back after a year off. Second in this race a year ago; big player if ready to roll after 359-day layoff.
4	7 4th (7) (11/4 +50%) Ideallko		2.75 11/4(+50%)																															(7) Ideallko 11/4, Poor maiden hurdler who hasn't been disgraced in handicaps in that sphere the last twice. Makes chase debut down in trip on return and not dismissed. Started off in handicap hurdles with two encouraging runs in the spring; chase debut today.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 -118%) Bari Breeze		12 12/1(-118%)																															(2) Bari Breeze 12/1, Bumper winner with a mixed record over hurdles and has shown very little over fences (never going/jumping well pretty early on at Worcester 4 weeks ago). Cheekpieces tried. Yard hitting their straps again. Second off 6lb higher over hurdles in August but ran poorly in chase last month.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/4 +31%) Testflight		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(6) Testflight 11/4, Poor maiden hurdler, well backed and went as if still in good form but failed to get home at Newton Abbot (26.5f) 7 weeks ago. Drops markedly in trip for chase debut. Ran well to a point in 3m2f hurdle here in July but soundly beaten over that trip since.
7th	1 7th (1) (12/1 -9%) Claras Soldier		12 12/1(-9%)																															(1) Claras Soldier 12/1, Down the field in bumpers/over hurdles when completing last term. May do better chasing at a low level this season and returns in a thin contest. One to note. Unplaced all five hurdling starts; improvement needed on this seasonal/chase debut.

LTO Selection:

---

Famoso was a bit disappointing at Warwick when attempting to supplement his determined win over 2m1f here. He could bounce back but a chance is taken on the fitness of TIME TO BITE, who has achieved a spot on the podium on all four starts since joining Chris Honour. Cheekpieces could help Bari Breeze put a Worcester no-show behind him, with Testflight and Claras Soldier worth a look on their first crack at the bigger obstacles.

A low-grade event that can see TIME TO BITE make a successful return. He was second in this last year and has shown more than enough to take a race like this with a decent round of jumping. Famoso is a winner already over these fences and could figure back here if he stays. An improved showing from Bari Breeze fitted with cheekpieces for his in-form yard wouldn't be a total surprise.

After running well in a big-field handicap hurdle in May, IDEALLKO is taken to make a winning chase debut.

1	11 1st (11) (2/1 +20%) Midream		2 2/1(+20%)																															(11) Midream 2/1, Promising type. 11/2, second of 6 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, soft) on debut 21 days ago, clear of rest. Will be more street-wise this time and should make her presence felt. Promising debut in soft-ground maiden at Thirsk; major player if backing up that effort.
2	12 2nd (12) (4/6 +33%) Silvretta		0.666667 4/6(+33%)																															(12) Silvretta 4/6, Promising individual. Second of 9 in minor event (10/3) at Kempton (6f) 21 days ago. There's substance to her form and she probably wouldn't need to improve on that in order to go one better here. Strong piece of form last October; ran creditably on belated reappearance; respected.
3	7 3rd (7) (16/1 -100%) Pride Of Spain		16 16/1(-100%)																															(7) Pride Of Spain 16/1, Promising sort. 10/1, third of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) 10 days ago. Likely capable of better but he appeals as the type to come into his own in handicaps in due course. Placed at Newcastle on latest AW start; nicely bred filly who should improve further.
4	13 4th (13) (50/1 -178%) Sixties Chic		50 50/1(-178%)																															(13) Sixties Chic 50/1, Thrice-raced winner. Seventh of 8 in minor event at Nottingham (5f, good to soft, 8/1). Off 15 months and sizeable step forward now upped in trip. Market can guide on return from 16-month absence.
5th	4 5th (4) (200/1 -100%) Indie Skies		200 200/1(-100%)																															(4) Indie Skies 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. 300/1, last of 5 in minor event at Beverley (5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Back up in trip and he's hard to make a case for. Drops back in class but his bare form isn't compelling.
6th	5 6th (5) (15/2 +17%) Invincible Pass		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(5) Invincible Pass 15/2, Invincible Spirit colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Dubawi Legend and useful 1¼m-1½m winner Golden Pass. Wears tongue strap. Likely type on paper and needs a close look in the betting. Half-brother to four winners for his connections, notably a Group 3 scorer; interesting.
7th	2 7th (2) (25/1 -108%) Advantage		25 25/1(-108%)																															(2) Advantage 25/1, £60,000 yearling, Profitable gelding. Half-brother to useful winner up to 6f Sunsprite. Dam 6f/7f winner. Interesting to see what the market has to say. £60,000 yearling; by Profitable; one of three newcomers in the field; market helpful.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -127%) Hallrose		50 50/1(-127%)																															(9) Hallrose 50/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 8 in minor event at this course (5.1f, good, 100/1) 56 days ago, nearest finish. Another who will be of greater interest when going down the handicap route. Ran well over 5f here last time while shaping as if this extra furlong will suit.
9th	3 9th (3) (150/1 -200%) Chico Dulce		150 150/1(-200%)																															(3) Chico Dulce 150/1, Twice-raced gelding. 22/1, last of 5 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) 76 days ago, slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Phillip Makin and needs to raise his game. Needs to improve on the form he showed in two outings over 7f for Phillip Makin.
10th	6 10th (6) (150/1 -50%) Jesse Luc		150 150/1(-50%)																															(6) Jesse Luc 150/1, Once-raced gelding. 28/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Brighton (8f, heavy) on debut 21 days ago. Down in trip and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Drop to sprinting may help but has a poor chance on Brighton debut form.
11th	10 11th (10) (300/1 -200%) Hedenham		300 300/1(-200%)																															(10) Hedenham 300/1, Once-raced filly. Last of 7 in maiden at Brighton (8f, heavy, 66/1) on debut 21 days ago, very slowly away. Down in trip. Like stablemate Jesse Luc, she is hard to warm to. Inauspicious debut at Brighton.
12th	8 12th (8) (66/1 -32%) Wee Geordie		66 66/1(-32%)																															(8) Wee Geordie 66/1, 48,000 gns yearling, Muhaarar gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner Love Love. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to useful 1m/9f winner Polygreen. One to note in the betting. 48,000gns yearling; by Muhaarar out of 6f winner; follow the market signals.

SILVRETTA sets a strong standard on her comeback second at Kempton, having given the classy Sumo Sam a fright last year, and this looks a suitable opportunity for the daughter of Invincible Spirit to shed her maiden tag. Midream is the only conceivable threat of those who have raced and shouldn't be far away if building on her debut second at Kempton. Invincible Pass and Advantage are two interesting newcomers and any market support is worth noting.

SILVRETTA was just touched off by dual subsequent Group 2 winner Sumo Sam on the second of her two starts as a 2-y-o, and she shaped well dropped to this trip on her belated seasonal reappearance at Kempton 3 weeks ago. She is bred to be useful and is presented with a golden opportunity to open her account here. Midream's recent debut at Thirsk was encouraging and she gets the nod ahead of newcomers Invincible Pass and Advantage (in that order of preference) for forecast purposes.

1	2 1st (2) (9/2 +63%) Hiromichi		4.5 9/2(+63%)																															(2) Hiromichi 9/2, Latest win at Bath in May. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 13 days ago. Rider had a treble at the last meeting here and has won on him before. Bit of a mixed bag since winning at Bath in May; more needed.
2	9 2nd (9) (6/1 +33%) Global Spirit		6 6/1(+33%)																															(9) Global Spirit 6/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft) 14 days ago. 3-6 over C&D and possible to forgive latest effort; much respected back here.
3	11 3rd (11) (5/1 +29%) Golden Melody		5 5/1(+29%)																															(11) Golden Melody 5/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 4/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Losing run mounting up, but running well since the summer and is fairly treated.
4	5 4th (5) (15/2 +38%) Phoenix Fire		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(5) Phoenix Fire 15/2, Novice winner on the mud on final 2-y-o start. Good fourth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good) 16 days ago. Could go well. Running well in handicaps this year and each-way claims down another 1lb.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 -10%) Cosmos Raj		11 11/1(-10%)																															(1) Cosmos Raj 11/1, Latest win at Ripon in July. Creditable second of 13 in handicap (9/2) at Ayr (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago, just failing. In fine form and still well weighted after 2 lb rise. 2lb higher then when just beaten at Ayr last month, but still a player.
6th	17 6th (17) (33/1 -32%) Do I Dream		33 33/1(-32%)																															(17) Do I Dream 33/1, C&D winner. 5/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft) 26 days ago. Bit to find in this company. Dual C&D winner; frame possibilities if back to her best, but is dawn wide..
7th	4 7th (4) (20/1 -67%) Casilli		20 20/1(-67%)																															(4) Casilli 20/1, Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm, 5/1) 12 days ago. Could make presence felt. Beverley specialist who may find this trip too sharp for her now and is drawn wide.
8th	13 8th (13) (16/1 +36%) Loddon		16 16/1(+36%)																															(13) Loddon 16/1, Fair maiden. 16/1, first run since leaving Ed Walker when creditable second of 7 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, heavy) 19 days ago. Others more persuasive. 0-7 but has shown ability; shouldn't have an issue with return to 1m and could go well.
9th	16 9th (16) (25/1 +11%) No Barrier		25 25/1(+11%)																															(16) No Barrier 25/1, Fair maiden. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Ayr (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago, not clear run. Must improve. Twice runner-up in the summer but well held last two starts and now 0-13; others preferred.
10th	3 10th (3) (8/1 -14%) Ey Up Its The Boss		8 8/1(-14%)																															(3) Ey Up Its The Boss 8/1, Latest win at Thirsk in August. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 10/1) 11 days ago, not clear run over 2f out, keeping on and much better than the result. Down 2 lb in easier race and can go well. Unfortunate last time; handles soft ground, but best form has come on good/good to firm.
11th	7 11th (7) (10/1 +38%) Albegrey		10 10/1(+38%)																															(7) Albegrey 10/1, Latest win at Carlisle in June. 15/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Not taken lightly. Edging back down the weights and not beaten far last time, but still more needed.
12th	12 12th (12) (7/1 +13%) Powerful Response		7 7/1(+13%)																															(12) Powerful Response 7/1, Supplemented his Newcastle success at Hamilton in July. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good, 10/3) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time which could help (has looked quirky). Won twice in the summer and has run well since; stiff finish should suit; cheekpieces on.
13th	8 13th (8) (50/1 -79%) Khathak		50 50/1(-79%)																															(8) Khathak 50/1, Temperamental sort. 11/1, creditable third of 7 in seller at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 94 days ago. Work to do. Become disappointing; plenty to prove after another three months off; has outside stall.
14th	15 14th (15) (28/1 +0%) Sezaam		28 28/1(+0%)																															(15) Sezaam 28/1, Good third of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft, 12/1) 26 days ago, bit laboured and nearest finish. Cheekpieces back on. Close third on return from an absence at Carlisle last month; each-way claims.
15th	14 15th (14) (20/1 -43%) Operation Gimcrack		20 20/1(-43%)																															(14) Operation Gimcrack 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, second of 7 in minor event at Thirsk (8f, heavy) 65 days ago, no match for winner who ran to a rating of 105. Can take a big leap forward now handicapping. Makes handicap debut after two months off and open to improvement, but it will be needed.
16th	10 16th (10) (80/1 -100%) Sycamore		80 80/1(-100%)																															(10) Sycamore 80/1, 66/1, good second of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7f) in December but he hasn't been seen since. A watching brief is the percentage call after the lay-off. Off ten months and best watched unless market suggests otherwise.

LTO Selection:

Dual winner POWERFUL RESPONSE has displayed enough promise of late to suggest that he can land another contest before the season ends, with first-time cheekpieces likely to eke out some extra improvement. Cosmos Raj posted one of his better performances when just touched off at Ayr and also merits consideration off only 2lb higher. Loddon and Golden Melody are a couple of others to note in an open event.

Plenty to consider in this big-field handicap, with EY UP ITS THE BOSS getting the vote after an eye-catching effort at Newmarket. He was keeping on all the time there and would've made the frame at least with a clear passage. Down 2 lb/in grade, he could be set for a big run. Romilda and Operation Gimcrack are a couple of unexposed 3-y-os who make plenty of appeal now handicapping. Hiromichi and Cosmos Raj also make the shortlist.

This can go to ROMILDA who is taken to make a successful handicap debut. Her latest effort is working out well.

1	1 1st (1) (13/8 +19%) Myristica		1.625 13/8(+19%)																															(1) Myristica 13/8, Fairly useful Flat performer who has taken very well to hurdles this summer, completing a maiden/novice hat-trick. Has shaped well in defeat in handicap company on her last 2 outings and should give another good account. No match for winner when second at Warwick last month but evidently still in good form.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/4 +22%) Hourless		1.75 7/4(+22%)																															(6) Hourless 7/4, Modest Flat winner who made a successful start over hurdles at Hexham in June. Good second under a penalty at Newton Abbot in July and has run with credit in defeat on the Flat since. Very interesting now handicapping for the first time in this sphere. Nothing special on the Flat but has made promising start to hurdling career.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 -33%) Lipa K		10 10/1(-33%)																															(2) Lipa K 10/1, Doubled up at Warwick and Ludlow in the spring (both 2m) but his run of good form came to a halt when last of 5 at Fakenham at the beginning of June. Given a break since. Won two 2m handicaps in the spring; back from break today; further progress possible.
4	3 4th (3) (33/1 +0%) Gms Prince		33 33/1(+0%)																															(3) Gms Prince 33/1, Fair form over hurdles in autumn 2021 but absent since finishing a well-held fourth of 5 at Bangor in spring 2022. Watching brief has to be the percentage call. Has had wind surgery. Made promising start to hurdling career in 2021 but absent since April 2022.
5th	4 5th (4) (15/2 -25%) Jack Sprat		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(4) Jack Sprat 15/2, Out of a winning hurdler and showed some promise when placed in a pair of 2m maiden hurdles in the spring. Appeals as a potential improver now handicapping on his return to action. Kept on quite strongly for second in Wincanton maiden in April; handicap debut today.
6th	7 6th (7) (8/1 +33%) Whenitrainsitpours		8 8/1(+33%)																															(7) Whenitrainsitpours 8/1, Still looking for a first success and well held in handicaps of late. Mark has come down as a result but he needs a 115-day break to help spark a revival. Beaten 40l+ in two handcaps in the spring and is now 0-8 over hurdles.
7th	5 7th (5) (18/1 -140%) Bizzy Moon		18 18/1(-140%)																															(5) Bizzy Moon 18/1, Half-sister to connections useful hurdler Molly Ollys Wishes. Well held in sole bumper but made a successful start to her hurdle career at Market Rasen in April. Well-held third of 4 under a penalty 5 weeks later but retains potential for top yard now handicapping after 5 months off. Won modest mares' maiden in April; makes handicap debut after five-month break.

LTO Selection:

Myristica was well placed to record a hat-trick in novice company and has held his own off this mark since going handicapping. He has to give so much weight to HOURLESS, though, and Alan King's juvenile has taken well to jumping, winning at Hexham before finding only a subsequent dual winner too strong at Newton Abbot. He has performed with credit on the level since. Jack Sprat has got a handy initial rating that he could capitalise on, with similar sentiments applying to Bizzy Moon.

HOURLESS looks feasibly treated now making a quick switch to handicaps in this sphere and can strike for Alan King. Myristica has enjoyed a cracking spell since switching to hurdles and is second choice. Jack Sprat and Bizzy Moon are other potential improvers now moving into handicap company for good stables.

Alan King's 3yo HOURLESS (nap) has made a good start to his hurdling career and could be on a good mark for this handicap debut.

1	1 1st (1) (11/2 -38%) Western Stars		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(1) Western Stars 11/2, 9/2, won 5-runner handicap at Haydock (10.2f, soft) 10 days ago. Nudged up just 2 lb and going back back up in trip won't be a problem, so he has to enter calculations. Good-ground winner; checked in run but led close home latest (1m2f, soft); well treated.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/4 +55%) Stage Show		2.25 9/4(+55%)																															(8) Stage Show 9/4, 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 26 days ago and should be in the mix off the same mark here. Maiden; consistent rather than progressive, including over this trip; extra needed.
3	6 3rd (6) (15/2 +6%) Mrembo		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(6) Mrembo 15/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year, the latest here in September. 9/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Place possibilities. Won latest 3 attempts at about 1m3f; current mark shouldn't be beyond her.
4	2 4th (2) (16/1 -78%) Mrs Meader		16 16/1(-78%)																															(2) Mrs Meader 16/1, Creditable second of 8 in handicap (20/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 28 days ago, no match for winner. 1 lb lower now and she's not without each-way hope. Progressive at 1m2f-1m4f in 2022; signalled revival in July; below par only turf run since.
5th	9 5th (9) (12/1 -71%) Feyha		12 12/1(-71%)																															(9) Feyha 12/1, 5/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Epsom (12f, good to firm) 25 days ago, suited by way race developed. 4 lb rise could leave her vulnerable. Middling form for new yard until finding plenty over 1m4f at Epsom; could go on from that.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/2 +50%) Greased Lightning		5.5 11/2(+50%)																															(7) Greased Lightning 11/2, C&D winner in July. 5/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Bath (14f, good) 23 days ago. Good run of form came to a halt at Bath last time but wouldn't be without a chance if able to bounce back. Raced over further since C&D win in July; down the field latest; needs revival.
7th	10 7th (10) (16/1 -33%) Charlie Arthur		16 16/1(-33%)																															(10) Charlie Arthur 16/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form 7¼ lengths sixth of 12 to Mrembo in handicap (9/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 35 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Placed in 3 of his last 4 starts but below 2022 best; has in-form rivals to worry about.
8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 +18%) Pride Of Hawridge		33 33/1(+18%)																															(5) Pride Of Hawridge 33/1, 10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (16f, good to soft) 161 days ago. Off 161 days and he's entitled to come on for the run. Flat winner at 1m/1m2f; hurdle career took a dark turn in the spring; off since May.
9th	12 9th (12) (8/1 -45%) Decisive Call		8 8/1(-45%)																															(12) Decisive Call 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Roger Teal when very good second of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Brighton (9.9f, heavy) 21 days ago. Just 4 runs under his belt and this stiffer test may help unlock a bit more. Quite promising handicap/yard debut upped to 1m2f; unexposed; worth a go over further.
10th	4 10th (4) (9/1 +25%) Hurtle		9 9/1(+25%)																															(4) Hurtle 9/1, Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 5/1) 54 days ago. Placed over this C&D twice prior to that and could have a part to play if on-song back here following a wind op. Capable of a good show on C&D form in early summer; wind op since AW defeat in August.

WESTERN STARS came good at the third time of asking for current connections when triumphing at Haydock. A 2lb rise looks more than manageable for the four-year-old and a quick double could be in the offing. Stage Show may have gone for home too soon when weakening into third at Kempton and is a viable alternative now reverting to turf, while last month's C&D winner Mrembo cannot be ruled out either.

It wasn't a particularly strong race that WESTERN STARS landed at Haydock recently, but he remains on a competitive mark up just 2 lb and is taken to strike again. Though still a maiden following nine attempts, Stage Show has shown enough to suggest that he has a race in him off this sort of mark and he is feared most. Decisive Call took a step forward at Brighton and is also accorded respect, along with C&D winner Greased Lightning.

1	1 1st (1) (10/1 +60%) Glory Nights		10 10/1(+60%)																															(1) Glory Nights 10/1, Fair maiden who has struggled to make an impact in handicaps on his last 3 outings. This is a bit easier but still hard to be confident. Drops 2lb after a better effort latest and a repeat would probably see him involved..
2	6 2nd (6) (8.5/1 +29%) Blue Yonder		8.5 8.5/1(+29%)																															(6) Blue Yonder 8.5/1, Successful twice in May, the latter over C&D, but he's lost his way in recent starts. Handy mark but arrives after a couple of below par efforts; bit to prove..
3	5 3rd (5) (5/1 +50%) Rose Light		5 5/1(+50%)																															(5) Rose Light 5/1, Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 26 days ago but claims on her runner-up effort there prior to that. Drops in trip on this stiffer track and will need to improve on turf form to score..
4	7 4th (7) (5.5/1 -57%) Marmara Star		5.5 5.5/1(-57%)																															(7) Marmara Star 5.5/1, Won on C&D handicap debut in January and creditable second of 6 back here 3 months later. Off a further 6 months since but still one to consider as an unexposed sort from a good stable. C&D winner and second on her last two starts; freshened up; big player..
5th	4 5th (4) (5/2 +0%) Uncle Dick		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(4) Uncle Dick 5/2, Course winner who has been successful 3 times over 1m at Brighton this year, the latest success coming 3 weeks ago. 6 lb higher now back on AW but still much respected as an in-form sort. Has won three times at Brighton recently; better race here but another win not ruled out..
6th	3 6th (3) (66/1 -450%) Strawberry Jack		66 66/1(-450%)																															(3) Strawberry Jack 66/1, Won twice over 1m on turf in 2022 but well held in 2 outings in the first half of 2022 and not seen since. Has been given a chance by the handicapper but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations. Well beaten in a Chester claimer in June; drops 6lb; plenty to prove..
7th	8 7th (8) (80/1 -60%) Flame Of Kodiac		80 80/1(-60%)																															(8) Flame Of Kodiac 80/1, Course winner in March but lost his way since, including on last month's Chepstow stable debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained). 8.5f course winner in March but below par since; plenty to prove..
8th	9 8th (9) (20/1 +20%) Dark Company		20 20/1(+20%)																															(9) Dark Company 20/1, Won at Lingfield in July (final start for Mark Johnston) but not one to rely on and below that level in his 3 outings for new yard. Won a selling handicap for in July; needs to be much better than on his last two starts..
9th	10 9th (10) (33/1 -106%) Caracristi		33 33/1(-106%)																															(10) Caracristi 33/1, C&D winner in March. Also recorded some creditable placed efforts later in the spring but off since a lesser run here in June. Dual C&D winner; recent form suggests she might find a few too good..
10th	2 10th (2) (5/2 +0%) Lunanera		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(2) Lunanera 5/2, Winner at Chepstow (1m) in August on only his second handicap start. Perhaps found third outing in a fortnight too much when well held at Thirsk at the beginning of September. Freshened up since and this looks a good opportunity for him to bounce back. 1m winner (good to firm); has to get back on track and is a likely player if he can..

LTO Selection:

UNCLE DICK has won three of his last four starts and is a solid candidate to expand on the profitable run. A previous course winner, switching to synthetics holds no fears and with Jack Nicholls taking over from Georgina Dobie in the saddle, and able to claim 5lb, he runs off a highly competitive mark. Previous C&D winner Marmara Star is feared most, with Strawberry Jack and Dark Company also considered.

LUNANERA has been freshened up since a lesser run at Thirsk early last month and is taken to resume his progression and strike under Brodie Hampson. Uncle Dick has been prolific at Brighton recently and rates an obvious threat along with unexposed George Boughey runner Marmara Star.

1	5 1st (5) (7/4 -40%) Safety Catch		1.75 7/4(-40%)																															(5) Safety Catch 7/4, Made no impression at Newmarket sole start at 2 yrs but proved a different proposition when second of 7 in a Leicester maiden (10f) on return to action 2 weeks ago. That experience ought to bring her on further and this longer trip promises to be within range. Highly respected.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/4 -13%) Lord Melbourne		2.25 9/4(-13%)																															(4) Lord Melbourne 9/4, €270,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett gelding. Dam, French 1¼m-1½m winner, half-sister to useful 1m winner (stayed 1¼m) Lamu. 11/2, promising third of 8 at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago. Player with progress anticipated.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/4 +44%) Lope De Light		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(3) Lope De Light 9/4, Thrice-raced colt. 13/8, matched previous form when second of 5 in minor event at Beverley (9.9f, heavy) 19 days ago, headed under 2f out and rallying. This longer trip worth exploring on that evidence.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 +27%) Cahersiveen		8 8/1(+27%)																															(1) Cahersiveen 8/1, Twice-raced gelding. 80/1, stepped up on debut form when fifth of 12 in maiden at Cork (12f, good to soft) 40 days ago, pushed along 4f out and keeping on. Likely he can do better again for new yard, including when tackling 1¾m.

LTO Selection:

SAFETY CATCH found plenty of improvement for the step up in trip when runner-up over 1m2f at Leicester a fortnight ago and the extra two furlongs here may be enough for William Haggas' filly to gain a breakthrough success. Lord Melbourne likely has more to offer having posted a respectable third-placed finish on his debut at Salisbury. The son of Wootton Bassett may emerge as the chief threat, although Lope De Light shouldn't be far behind.

LORD MELBOURNE produced a promising debut effort despite displaying signs of greenness when third in a Salisbury novice (9.9f) 24 days ago and he shades the vote to build on that now stepping up in trip. Safety Catch, a good second at Leicester on her reappearance 2 weeks ago, and Lope de Light head up the dangers, in that order.

The Crisfords' LORD MELBOURNE, who was green on debut but performed encouragingly, just gets the vote over Safety Catch.

1	7 1st (7) (2/1 +33%) Jigginstown King		2 2/1(+33%)																															(7) Jigginstown King 2/1, Quiet start over fences last season but improved when going close at Fontwell in April before winning twice the following month, latterly back at Fontwell (21.6f, good to firm). 4 lb rise fair enough and will be a threat if ready to roll. Has undergone a wind op. Came good with two chase wins in May; returns in stronger race but may progress again.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +25%) Minella Buster		3 3/1(+25%)																															(4) Minella Buster 3/1, Hurdles winner who improved when sent chasing last season, scoring on his return at Kempton (3m, good) prior to making the frame in handicaps at Exeter and Taunton. However, he resumes here with something to prove having performed poorly on his last 2 starts. Well handicapped on last autumn's form but returns from break with a point to prove.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 +18%) Aviewtosea		9 9/1(+18%)																															(6) Aviewtosea 9/1, Three chase wins for Fergal O'Brien in 2022 and performed well, despite some sloppy jumping, when second in a 4-runner affair at Worcester (23f, good) in June. Little impact both starts over hurdles for present yard and now tried in more severe headgear on first run following a wind op. Triple chase winner in 2022; not in same form this year; had wind op last month.
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 -20%) Steel Wave		9 9/1(-20%)																															(5) Steel Wave 9/1, Has never been one for maximum faith but has hit the target at this course 3 times this year, the latest gained over C&D last month. However, 4 lb rise could leave this veteran vulnerable in what looks a stronger race, for all that he clearly likes it round here. 13yo who has won three times over C&D this season; this race is more competitive, though.
3	3 |PU| (3) (3/1 -9%) Allo Allo		3 3/1(-9%)																															(3) Allo Allo 3/1, Won 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles (both at Fakenham) last term prior to switching to fences. Successful on second of his two completed starts in this sphere, landing a 9-runner Bangor handicap (20.3f, good to firm) when last seen in April, and it's likely that he has more to offer as a chaser. Signed off with clearcut win at Bangor in April and could still have potential over fences.
1	1 |PU| (1) (17/2 -31%) Sublime Heights		8.5 17/2(-31%)																															(1) Sublime Heights 17/2, Winner of 3 Plumpton handicap chases in cheekpieces/visor at up to to 25.7f last term, the latest off 7 lb lower in February. Made hard work of things when second in a 4-runner race there the following month, though, and blinkers now given another try. Well held both previous starts here. 3-7 during first season over fences, with all the wins gained at Plumpton; back from break.

LTO Selection:

---

Jigginstown King signed off his first campaign under Rules with a Fakenham/Fontwell double and has undergone wind surgery during his summer break. Sublime Heights is a bit of a Plumpton specialist but still warrants attention, while Steel Wave has an edge in match practice after winning over C&D for the fourth time. ALLO ALLO has the more scope for improvement, though, and after breaking his chasing duck at Bangor in April, Stuart Edmunds' gelding can pick up where he left off.

Easily the most appealing of these is ALLO ALLO, who possesses the potential to develop into a useful chaser judged on what he showed in 3 starts in this sphere last term. The 7-y-o did the job well when opening his account over fences at Bangor in April, for which a 6 lb rise is fair. The hat-trick seeking Jigginstown King is likely to emerge as the main threat given that Sublime Heights, though talented, now looks a shade too high in the weights and hasn't won away from Plumpton under Rules.

There might still be more improvement to come from ALLO ALLO, who ended last season with a convincing win at Bangor.

1	6 1st (6) (4/1 +0%) Geelong		4 4/1(+0%)																															(6) Geelong 4/1, Back to winning ways at Kempton in September before good second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 13 days ago. Player despite taking another 2 lb rise. Wide-margin winner on Kempton AW (1m4f) last month; now 7lb higher and 0-9 on turf.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +71%) On The Right Track		4 4/1(+71%)																															(2) On The Right Track 4/1, Latest win at Bath in June. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 18/1) 4 days ago. Not taken lightly. Two wins at about 1m4f earlier in 2023; not weighted out of it on best turf form since.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/1 +0%) Arenas Del Tiempo		6 6/1(+0%)																															(1) Arenas Del Tiempo 6/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (12f, heavy, 22/1) 17 days ago, going off too hard. Enters calculations. All 3 wins at 1m2f in 2021; still has a question mark against her stamina for this far.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +11%) Major Major		4 4/1(+11%)																															(3) Major Major 4/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in August. Only fourth of 5 in handicap (5/2) at Ffos Las (12f, good to soft) 25 days ago but the sort to bounce back. Improved form when winning twice at this trip in August (soft/good); ran moderately since.
5th	7 5th (7) (7/2 +13%) Showy		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(7) Showy 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Bath (10.2f, good) 39 days ago. Can give a good account. Promising in 1m2f maiden here; solid handicap run latest and should stay this longer trip.
6th	10 6th (10) (10/1 +17%) Fair Dinkum		10 10/1(+17%)																															(10) Fair Dinkum 10/1, 20/1, good eighth of 14 in handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm) 47 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Can go well eased 2 lb. Two fair 1m6f runs earlier in year; below best for both yards on last 3 starts.
7th	9 7th (9) (25/1 +0%) Vitalline		25 25/1(+0%)																															(9) Vitalline 25/1, 40/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm), doing too much too soon. Off 140 days but he's no forlorn hope. All wins at up to 7f; below best in 4 starts since last October; back from another break.
8th	8 8th (8) (11/1 -47%) Change Of Fortune		11 11/1(-47%)																															(8) Change Of Fortune 11/1, 12/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, heavy) 38 days ago. One for the shortlist. Dropped down weights but still doesn't look well treated and stamina to prove as well.
9th	11 9th (11) (100/1 -150%) For Real		100 100/1(-150%)																															(11) For Real 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in minor event (150/1) at Kempton (8f) 33 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut with plenty more needed. Well beaten in qualifying runs at 1m/7f; may well do better up in trip on handicap debut.
10th	12 10th (12) (200/1 -300%) Lesleyanne		200 200/1(-300%)																															(12) Lesleyanne 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in maiden (250/1) at Kempton (12f) 26 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for 1st time. Has work to do on her handicap debut. Modest form at up to 1m4f; goes handicapping in first-time aids; out of the weights.

GEELONG has been in consistent form of late and dropping back in trip can see him at his best, having gone well for a long way over further at Newcastle last month. The four-year-old remains on a workable mark and he gets the vote ahead of C&D winner Major Major and Arenas Del Tiempo, who has strong claims on her penultimate effort at Epsom. Others to note include Between The Covers, Change Of Fortune and Showy.

A tight-knit handicap but GEELONG arrives at the top of his game so edges the vote off a still handy-looking mark following his good Newcastle second. In-form pair On The Right Track and Change of Fortune bring solid credentials to the table too and can chase home Paul & Oliver Cole's 4-y-o in that oder. Major Major completes the shortlist.

Hat-trick seeking C&D winner who is up 3lb but could still have a bit more up his sleeve..
4	4 4th (4) (11/8 +66%) Prince Ali		1.375 11/8(+66%)																															(4) Prince Ali 11/8, In good form here lately, runner-up twice (including this trip) before getting his head back in front in 8.6f handicap last month.

7th	3 7th (3) (15/2 +12%) Masque Of Anarchy		7.5 15/2(+12%)																															(3) Masque Of Anarchy 15/2, Latest win at Pontefract in May. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm, 10/1) 54 days ago, not clear run. Back on a competitive mark; no surprise if he gets closer than on his last four starts..

Third over C&D on sole AW start; drops 2lb; needs to step up on latest effort to score..
9th	1 9th (1) (16/1 -78%) Cavalluccio		16 16/1(-78%)																															(1) Cavalluccio 16/1, Largely consistent in the first half of 2023, including 2 wins on AW. Has had winf surgery since last seen in June. Claims if fully primed after his break. Dual AW winner who is mostly consistent; possible excuse latest and could bounce back..

PRINCE ALI has held his form and fully deserved last month's course success in an apprentice handicap. Zoe Lewis being back in the saddle more than offsets the 3lb higher mark and, assuming stepping back up in trip doesn't raise any issues, further success is likely. Luna Magic is another with a live chance based on her peak efforts, while the hat-tick seeking City Escape is a previous C&D winner who cannot be ignored on these terms.

CITY ESCAPE faces a different test than she's encountered when ploughing through the mud to win twice at Ffos Las recently but she's equally as effective at this place and a further 3 lb rise may not prevent her completing a hat-trick. Last month's course scorer Prince Ali is feared most ahead of Luna Magic.

1	8 1st (8) (13/2 -44%) Beauty Choice		6.5 13/2(-44%)																															(8) Beauty Choice 13/2, Turned in his best effort of the season from easing mark when second in 14-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) on penultimate start. Not far off that level when third at Chester (7f, soft) latest and he's worth a second look with the drop back to 6f holding no fears. Needs to improve on his last two turf starts either side of a good AW run to be involved.
2	10 2nd (10) (5/1 +33%) Onemorenomore		5 5/1(+33%)																															(10) Onemorenomore 5/1, More encouraging signs equipped with blinkers in recent weeks and well served by drop to sprinting when off the mark at Doncaster (5.6f) 3 weeks ago, staying on to lead line. This stiff finish will suit on that evidence and possibilities again. Up 3lb for Doncaster win but stamina could prove useful over this track and trip.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 +18%) King Of Tonga		9 9/1(+18%)																															(6) King Of Tonga 9/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Chester (7f, heavy) 9 days ago. Others more persuasive. Went close again here in August but below par since; not written off but revival needed.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 +0%) King's Crown		8 8/1(+0%)																															(3) King's Crown 8/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago, keeping on. Has come down plenty in the weights if he can build on that here. Tried to make all when third over C&D (good to soft) latest; drops 1lb; not ruled out.
5th	4 5th (4) (14/1 +36%) Impeller		14 14/1(+36%)																															(4) Impeller 14/1, Good second over C&D in July and confirmed return to form when going one place better at Carlisle (5.8f) later that month. Latest Redcar effort was a disappointing one 20 days ago but no surprise to see a better showing here. Drops 1lb and if forgiven his latest effort he has the ability to get involved.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 -33%) Havana Pursuit		6 6/1(-33%)																															(5) Havana Pursuit 6/1, Havana Grey gelding who got back on the up to record a second career success in 10-runner C&D handicap 18 days ago, by neck from Derwent Boy. Remains lightly raced and 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent him going well again. Won a 0-70 over C&D (good to soft) latest; up 3lb and slightly in grade; contender.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/1 +30%) Little Muddy		7 7/1(+30%)																															(1) Little Muddy 7/1, Successful on 2 of first 3 starts this season and ran right up to best when runner-up at Nottingham (6f) on penultimate start. Latest run in Ayr Bronze Cup best overlooked (raced alone near side) and better showing anticipated here from handy draw. Competitive mark and could be involved if she can shake off her latest run.
8th	2 8th (2) (13/2 +0%) Tellus		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(2) Tellus 13/2, Landed a C&D novice on return in April and stepped up further to follow up on handicap bow at Ayr (7.2f) in May. Not scaled same heights since though, albeit not seen to best effect when eighth of 12 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, soft) 24 days ago. Unable to get close to winning form in four starts but she's not written off back here.
9th	11 9th (11) (20/1 -25%) Round The Island		20 20/1(-25%)																															(11) Round The Island 20/1, 7-time C&D winner who went close to ending losing run at Catterick (7f) in July. However, below that form all 3 starts since, no extra inside final 1f when 3¼ lengths sixth of 10 to Havana Pursuit over C&D 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Bit to find with a couple of today's opponents based on their running here last time.
10th	7 10th (7) (6/1 -9%) Derwent Boy		6 6/1(-9%)																															(7) Derwent Boy 6/1, 11/2 and visored for 1st time, good neck second of 10 to Havana Pursuit in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago, headed close home. 1 lb better off with that rival now and claims given he's less exposed than most he meets here. 1lb better off for a neck with Havana Pursuit and has the scope to do better; player.

LTO Selection:

---

The key to this looks to be the recent clash over C&D between Havana Pursuit (first) and DERWENT BOY (second), with the latter taken to come out on top this time around. The son of Harry Angel has been raised 2lb, but he looks primed to break the maiden at the seventh time of asking. Tellus has dropped down to 1lb below her last winning mark and must enter calculations, along with Beauty Choice.

ONEMORENOMORE relished the drop to sprinting when opening his account at Doncaster (5.6f) 3 weeks ago and, with the slightly longer trip here entitled to suit on that evidence, he gets the narrow vote to follow up with Tom Marquand an eye-catching booking. Beauty Choice is lurking on a handy mark and feared, with Derwent Boy and Havana Pursuit just another couple to consider.

The well-drawn RUSSCO is on a very handy mark, won't mind the conditions and is a sporting suggestion in a first-time hood.

1	1 1st (1) (5/1 -25%) Moon Chime		5 5/1(-25%)																															(1) Moon Chime 5/1, Trained by Fergal O'Brien when overcoming inexperience to make a winning start to his career at Worcester in May. Should have more to offer and much respected despite his penalty. Created pretty good impression when winning from off the pace at Worcester in May.
2	9 2nd (9) (4/1 +38%) Yalla Habibi		4 4/1(+38%)																															(9) Yalla Habibi 4/1, This son of Soldier of Fortune was picked up for £42,000 after finishing third in an Irish point in April. Stable has a good bumper record. Respected, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Cost £42,000 after promising Irish point debut in April; new stable does well in bumpers.
3	2 3rd (2) (28/1 -460%) Cloughroe		28 28/1(-460%)																															(2) Cloughroe 28/1, Sans Frontieres gelding who showed ability amidst inexperience when fourth of 8 at Worcester (good to soft) on debut 3 weeks ago. May do better. Made quite promising debut last month but the form isn't anything out of the ordinary.
4	8 4th (8) (5/1 -33%) Wilful		5 5/1(-33%)																															(8) Wilful 5/1, €105,000 Westerner gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Bold Enough. Likely type on paper. Market informative. Half-brother to useful jumper Bold Enough; bought for 105,000euros as a 3yo; interesting.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/4 +69%) Boy From Brazil		2.75 11/4(+69%)																															(5) Boy From Brazil 11/4, Blue Bresil gelding. Dam (h96) bumper winner. Interesting newcomer for yard no stranger to bumper success (2-8 so far this season). First foal; dam won a bumper and was subsequently placed over hurdles for this stable.
6th	3 6th (3) (125/1 -89%) Hector's Hope		125 125/1(-89%)																															(3) Hector's Hope 125/1, Down the field in bumpers at Chepstow and Wincanton at the end of 2022. Well beaten on his two starts towards the end of last year and can't be recommended here.
7th	10 7th (10) (17/2 +66%) Jiggaway		8.5 17/2(+66%)																															(10) Jiggaway 17/2, Telescope filly. Dam modest 1½m winner on Flat. Stable has an 11-95 record in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. One to note in the betting. First foal; dam 1m4f AW winner (RPR 62); others make more appeal on paper.
8th	4 8th (4) (15/2 -88%) Bahio Boum		7.5 15/2(-88%)																															(4) Bahio Boum 15/2, 7/2, shaped with encouragement when third of 8 on his Worcester debut 3 weeks ago. Big player here with improvement on the cards. Shaped with significant promise when third on recent debut at Worcester.
9th	6 9th (6) (80/1 -142%) Johnnie River		80 80/1(-142%)																															(6) Johnnie River 80/1, Telescope gelding. Dam 1½m-1¾m winner who stayed 16.5f. His stable is 1-48 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Second foal from a Flat winner in Jersey; stable has very modest bumper strike-rate.
10th	7 10th (7) (9/1 +25%) Pottersjetamay		9 9/1(+25%)																															(7) Pottersjetamay 9/1, 11/2, badly in need of experience when sixth of 10 on his Huntingdon debut (soft) in April. Fitted with a tongue strap on his return. May do better. Made just a mildly encouraging debut at Huntingdon in April.

LTO Selection:

---

Moon Chime is the obvious starting point after winning at the first time of asking at Worcester in May. He has switched stables since, while Bahio Boum will have given the Skeltons encouragement with his debut third. Pottersjetamay and Cloughroe have also shown enough to warrant an interest, but a chance is still taken on the newcomer WILFUL. Jonjo O'Neill's four-year-old is related to winners and cost 105,000 euros last year.

An interesting bumper to conclude. MOON CHIME ran to quite a useful level when successful on his debut in the spring and might be up to defying a penalty with improvement on the cards. Bahio Boum is respected on the back of a promising first run, while Boy From Brazil, Wilful and Yalla Habibi are bumper newcomers from stables with good records in these events.

Irish point third YALLA HABIBI is selected to enhance Milton Harris' excellent bumper record.

1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +38%) On Edge		4 4/1(+38%)																															(3) On Edge 4/1, Three wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 5/2) 24 days ago. Shade more needed up 3 lb if he's to complete the hat-trick but he's clearly in good nick and merits respect. Justified favouritism at Salisbury last month, taking record this term to 3-6; respected.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +43%) Corinthia Knight		4 4/1(+43%)																															(4) Corinthia Knight 4/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, soft, 13/2) 7 days ago. Can make presence felt off the same mark. 0-9 this season but is in decent form, having been placed in last three races.
3	13 3rd (13) (6/1 +33%) The Cola Kid		6 6/1(+33%)																															(13) The Cola Kid 6/1, Good fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 7/1) 5 days ago, nearest finish. One to consider off the same mark returned to turf. Close third over C&D last month and close fourth on AW last week; frame possibilities.
4	11 4th (11) (7/1 +36%) Porterinthejungle		7 7/1(+36%)																															(11) Porterinthejungle 7/1, Course winner. 5 lengths fifth of 8 to On Edge in handicap (7/2) at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 35 days ago. That represented a backward step compared to her encouraging reappearance second but she's worth another chance. Comparatively fresh having raced just twice this term; 1-1 at Windsor; one to consider.
5th	15 5th (15) (28/1 -12%) Milvus		28 28/1(-12%)																															(15) Milvus 28/1, 14/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 40 days ago. Record stands at 0-9 and will need to find improvement from somewhere if he's to open his account here. Maiden who can be opposed on the balance of his form.
6th	7 6th (7) (50/1 -52%) Once Adaay		50 50/1(-52%)																															(7) Once Adaay 50/1, 11/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Bit to prove on the back of that low-key display. Sole win came on AW; still has a bit to prove on turf.
7th	1 7th (1) (5/1 +0%) Big Bard		5 5/1(+0%)																															(1) Big Bard 5/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Nottingham in July. Seventh of 9 in handicap (11/4) at Bath (5.7f, good) 66 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on and should be on the premises, provided he breaks more swiftly. Spoiled chance with messy start last time; generally in good form otherwise this season.
8th	10 8th (10) (10/1 +0%) Sparked		10 10/1(+0%)																															(10) Sparked 10/1, Latest win at Bath in September. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 5/1) 4 days ago. Back up in trip and she's another with an each-way chance. Has C&D form but she's ideally suited by shorter; all wins at 5f.
9th	8 9th (8) (14/1 -100%) Phoenix Glow		14 14/1(-100%)																															(8) Phoenix Glow 14/1, Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm, 12/1) 33 days ago, suited by way race developed. Each-way shout. In-form 3yo who finished well over 5.7f last time; solid claims back up slightly in trip.
10th	6 10th (6) (18/1 -177%) Lahina Bay		18 18/1(-177%)																															(6) Lahina Bay 18/1, Course winner. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (4/1) at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago, running on. 3 lb rise could be enough to find her out here. Productive filly this year; won at Salisbury most recently; difficult to dismiss.
11th	9 11th (9) (25/1 +24%) Many Rivers		25 25/1(+24%)																															(9) Many Rivers 25/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm, 33/1) 81 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Has been unable to progress since handicapping.
12th	5 12th (5) (100/1 -52%) Berkshire Cruz		100 100/1(-52%)																															(5) Berkshire Cruz 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Andrew Balding when ninth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm, 28/1). Off 105 days and others preferred. Five-race maiden who has failed to progress; gelded since last run.
13th	2 13th (2) (10/1 +9%) Lord P		10 10/1(+9%)																															(2) Lord P 10/1, Fourth of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, good to soft, 5/2) 25 days ago, very slowly away. Has fallen to a workable mark and dangerous to discount. Habitual slow-starter but is interesting dropped back in class (3-4 in this grade).
14th	16 14th (16) (125/1 -150%) Rhodium		125 125/1(-150%)																															(16) Rhodium 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 7 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, heavy) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Hard to fancy. First-time headgear needs to have major effect.
15th	14 15th (14) (28/1 -12%) Haveagobeau		28 28/1(-12%)																															(14) Haveagobeau 28/1, 5/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, heavy) 21 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces sparking some improvement. 0-7 but this combination of return to Windsor and first-time headgear may help.

LTO Selection:

---

PHOENIX GLOW wasn't beaten far at Bath last month and the small step back up in trip looks a good move as she aims to make it two wins from her last four starts. The form of her stable is another plus and she is preferred to the hat-trick-seeking On Edge, as well as Lahina Bay, who did it well at Salisbury last time out. Corinthia Knight and Sparked are capable of being in the shake-up also.

The vote goes to BIG BARD, who was just touched off in this race last year and the first of his three wins this season was gained over C&D in April (sole previous occasion that he has been partnered by Alec Voikhansky). The 5-y-o wasn't seen to best effect at Bath when last seen in August, so shouldn't be judged too harshly on that display. Porterinthejungle can also be forgiven for a below par effort last time and she is next on the list ahead of Corinthia Knight and hat-trick seeker On Edge.

Half-brother to several winners, including French 2-y-o 6.5f/7f winner Devant and winner up to 1½m Tabaretta, both useful. Won 12-runner maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft, 7/2) on debut 19 days ago. More to come. Entitled to have come on for his debut (third a winner since); been found the right race.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 -33%) Firing Squad		4 4/1(-33%)																															(5) Firing Squad 4/1, Promising type. Third of 10 in minor event at Thirsk (7f, good to soft, evens) 30 days ago, nearest finish. Visor on 1st time. This 210,000 gns yearling is open to improvement. Beaten at a short price latest and now goes in a first-time visor; headgear needs to help.
3	7 3rd (7) (18/1 +64%) Heater		18 18/1(+64%)																															(7) Heater 18/1, 145,000 gns yearling, No Nay Never colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 9.4f/9.5f winner Paris Peacock and useful 7f/7.5f winner Craftsman and 7f/1m winner Sleeping Single. 50/1, twelfth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 31 days ago. 50-1 when always in rear on his Kempton debut a month ago; needs a big step forward.
4	6 4th (6) (25/1 -25%) Hand Jive		25 25/1(-25%)																															(6) Hand Jive 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in minor event at Thirsk (7f, good to soft, 8/1) 30 days ago. Well below market expectations on his debut and didn't fare much better latest.
5th	9 5th (9) (50/1 +50%) Pop Noodle		50 50/1(+50%)																															(9) Pop Noodle 50/1, Tenth of 13 in minor event (150/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 17 days ago, very slowly away. Could be one for 2024. Went off 150-1 for his debut, from a wide draw, and never featured after a slow start.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/1 -82%) All Is Fair		10 10/1(-82%)																															(2) All Is Fair 10/1, Twice-raced maiden. Evens, fifth of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 103 days ago. Gelded after. Debut run was more promising (winner now rated 102) and he's significantly up in trip here. One to note. Well below debut level at a short price next time and has since been gelded.
7th	4 7th (4) (150/1 +25%) Falmouth Boy		150 150/1(+25%)																															(4) Falmouth Boy 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in maiden (250/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Huge prices and well beaten in two runs to date; low-grade handicaps likely next up.
8th	10 8th (10) (100/1 +0%) Sunny Corner		100 100/1(+0%)																															(10) Sunny Corner 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in maiden at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft, 100/1) 25 days ago. Well beaten in two runs at huge prices; likely he'll find things easier once handicapping.
9th	11 9th (11) (12/1 +0%) True Blue Gent		12 12/1(+0%)																															(11) True Blue Gent 12/1, €36,000 foal, £70,000 yearling, Zoffany colt. Brother to winner up to 10.5f Jaayiz and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 7f Stardevote and 2-y-o 6f winner Hoof It Hoof It. 11/1 and tongue tied, seventh of 10 at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) on debut 20 days ago. Satisfactory debut; is entitled to improve and is one of a handful with realistic claims.
10th	3 10th (3) (150/1 -50%) Cut To The Chase		150 150/1(-50%)																															(3) Cut To The Chase 150/1, Muhaarar colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Frank Cool. Dam lightly raced out of useful 1m winner (stayed 1½m) Be My Queen. 200/1, last of 8 in Newbury novice (6f, good to firm) on debut 95 days ago. Started 200-1 for his debut three months ago, when finishing a remote last.

LTO Selection:

---

EDGE OF BLUE impressed with his attitude when he made a winning debut over C&D last month and looks progressive enough to cope with a penalty at this early stage of his career. A half-brother to French Group 3 winner Devant, he can use this as a stepping stone towards better things. All Is Fair is open to improvement now he has been gelded, while Firing Squad could also be a different proposition with a visor now tried.

Not a novice that will take much winning and it's easy to see EDGE OF BLUE making it 2-2 for Charlie Appleby with the prospect of improvement on the cards. There is probably more to come from Firing Squad also and he's feared most in a first-time visor.

This looks a good chance for EDGE OF BLUE to defy a penalty and follow up his Yarmouth win. True Blue Gent is second choice.

1	8 1st (8) (4/1 +33%) Sir Maxi		4 4/1(+33%)																															(8) Sir Maxi 4/1, C&D winner in July. 14/1, bit below form fourth of 20 in Bronze Cup at Ayr (6f, good to soft) 17 days ago, rallying. Goes well here and couldn't be dismissed. C&D winner this summer; returns after good run at Ayr last month; likely contender.
2	9 2nd (9) (22/1 -38%) Trilby		22 22/1(-38%)																															(9) Trilby 22/1, Modest maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap (66/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago. Not beaten far on either stable start; market support will bring him into the equation.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 -56%) The Dunkirk Lads		7 7/1(-56%)																															(4) The Dunkirk Lads 7/1, 17/2, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago. Slow starter and others make more appeal. Fourth over C&D recently; player if this race is run to suit usual patient tactics.

5th	2 5th (2) (11/2 +15%) Ghathanfar		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(2) Ghathanfar 11/2, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Below form fifth of 20 in Bronze Cup at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 17 days ago. Big drop in class after last 2 starts and weighted to strike. Generally disappointing this season but ran quite well in Ayr Bronze Cup last month.
6th	5 6th (5) (17/2 +58%) Happier		8.5 17/2(+58%)																															(5) Happier 17/2, Winner at Redcar in May. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 9/2) 34 days ago, slowly away. No significant progress since maiden win in May but a stiff 6f seems to suit her well.
7th	1 7th (1) (10/3 -33%) Heartrate		3.333333 10/3(-33%)																															(1) Heartrate 10/3, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Ffos Las (6f, good to soft, 13/2) on first run for yard 25 days ago. Prominent racer who seems sure to go well again up 6 lb. Convincing winner at Ffos Las on last month's stable debut and has the inside draw here.
8th	10 8th (10) (6/1 +45%) Run This Way		6 6/1(+45%)																															(10) Run This Way 6/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Off 8 weeks, bit below form fifth of 15 in handicap (11/1) at Thirsk (7f, soft) 21 days ago. Ran well when heavily-gambled on and third behind Sir Maxi over C&D in the summer. One to note. Not at best lately but was placed off 3lb higher over C&D in the summer; can't rule out.
9th	6 9th (6) (12/1 -100%) Thornaby Pearl		12 12/1(-100%)																															(6) Thornaby Pearl 12/1, Career-best effort when making all at Ripon in July. Not so good since, although has fallen in the weights and it's easy to see him make a bold bid from the front under 7 lb claimer who has had a good year. Easy winner on soft ground in July; outside draw and drying ground both negatives here.
10th	7 10th (7) (50/1 -52%) Jill Rose		50 50/1(-52%)																															(7) Jill Rose 50/1, 28/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 33 days ago. Not easy to make a case for at present. Ran poorly on AW last month and the ground may not be soft enough for her here.

LTO Selection:

---

This can go the way of SIR MAXI, who ran a highly creditable race for fourth in the Ayr Bronze Cup and should appreciate a return to this track, having won on two of his four starts here. Richard Fahey's charge is preferred to Ghathanfar and Heartrate, who arrives on a hat-trick as he makes just his second start for new connections. Catch Cunningham and Thornaby Pearl can also have a say in proceedings.

THORNABY PEARL has slipped in the weights and could be worth backing under Mia Nicholls. Heartrate has every chance in his hat-trick bid, while very well-handicapped C&D-winner Ghathanfar is also of firm interest down in class.

With this stiffer track likely to suit, HEARTRATE (nap) can follow up last month's emphatic Ffos Las win.

1	9 1st (9) (4/1 +56%) Tiger Tulip		4 4/1(+56%)																															(9) Tiger Tulip 4/1, Thrice-raced filly. Well-backed 9/1, third of 10 at Kempton (6f) 12 days ago. Could have races in her, but probably wants further. Some way off the front pair latest; needs to settle better and improve again to win this.
2	12 2nd (12) (3/1 -9%) Imola		3 3/1(-9%)																															(12) Imola 3/1, Promising sort. 14/1, third of 12 in maiden at Kempton (6f) on debut 26 days ago. Winner there has gone in again since and she's open to improvement. Solid Kempton debut, especially having played up at the start and pulled hard; can improve.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/4 -51%) Cervaro Della Sala		1.25 5/4(-51%)																															(3) Cervaro Della Sala 5/4, Promising type. Second of 9 in minor event at Kempton (6f, 7/1) on debut 12 days ago, showing plenty of dash. Open to improvement and this could be a good opening for her under Buick. Pleasing debut despite pulling hard in front; holds obvious claims under William Buick.
4	5 4th (5) (7/1 +0%) Emu War		7 7/1(+0%)																															(5) Emu War 7/1, Thrice-raced filly. Third of 7 in maiden (7/2) at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Could have a race in her. Drawn wide tonight; it wouldn't say much for the others were she up to taking this.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 +0%) Keep My Secret		25 25/1(+0%)																															(6) Keep My Secret 25/1, Foaled January 28. Cable Bay filly. Dam, placed at 1m-1¼m in Italy, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Sweet Gentle Kiss. May want further in due course; drawn wide on debut and the market will be the best guide.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 +39%) Nasneen		20 20/1(+39%)																															(7) Nasneen 20/1, Twice-raced filly. Ninth of 11 at Newcastle (6f, 7/1) 20 days ago. Debut run over 5f was more promising. Went backwards on Tapeta after a fair debut; Cervaro Della Sala her yard's best chance.
7th	1 7th (1) (50/1 -52%) After Time		50 50/1(-52%)																															(1) After Time 50/1, Twice-raced filly. 20/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) 13 days ago. Hard to fancy. Easy to back and comfortably held in two runs (7f); needs to brush things up at the stalls.
8th	4 8th (4) (22/1 +56%) Cremone		22 22/1(+56%)																															(4) Cremone 22/1, Foaled April 18. Harry Angel filly. Half-sister to 1¼m-1¾m winner Koshi and 6f winner Cockney Hill. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m So Beloved. Half-sister to a fair 6f Kempton AW winner; yard going well but isn't noted for 2yos.
9th	10 9th (10) (150/1 -127%) Bella Grazia		150 150/1(-127%)																															(10) Bella Grazia 150/1, Thrice-raced filly. 50/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Catterick (6f, soft) 16 days ago. Longer trips/handicaps will be her bag. Dam stayed middle distances and she's likely one for handicaps over further next year.
10th	2 10th (2) (40/1 -43%) Bespoke		40 40/1(-43%)																															(2) Bespoke 40/1, 11/1, tenth of 12 in maiden at Catterick (5f, good to firm) on debut 89 days ago. Withdrawn after being unruly in stall latest intended start (Aug 15). Up in trip. Better drawn than for 5f Catterick debut, when in need of the experience; can fare better.
11th	11 11th (11) (80/1 -60%) Hagaawy		80 80/1(-60%)																															(11) Hagaawy 80/1, Foaled May 10. €9,000 2-y-o, resold 1,000 gns 2-y-o, Territories filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 1m winner Tambora Queen and winner up to 1¼m Poet's Dawn. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1m winner Harvest Queen. Newcomer to note. Yard had none placed from 13 juvenile runners this season; hard to fancy.

LTO Selection:

CERVARO DELLA SALA showed plenty of promise on her debut at Kempton when going down fighting, and with normal improvement expected, she can go one better with William Buick taking over in the saddle. Similar comments apply to Imola, who also ran well at Kempton, behind a winner who has gone in again since. Emu War and Tiger Tulip are entitled to be thereabouts, while Keep My Secret looks the pick of the newcomers.

CERVARO DELLA SALA made a promising start at Kempton and could be hard to beat if improving with William Buick now up. Imola, an encouraging third at the same track first time up, is a big player, while Emu War could have a race in her also.

Imola is entitled to improve, but preference is for CERVARO DELLA SALA, who finished a pleasing second at Kempton 12 days ago.

1	1 1st (1) (11/4 +50%) Peripeteia		2.75 11/4(+50%)																															(1) Peripeteia 11/4, Dual course scorer last autumn, including this trip. Recent turf efforts nothing to get too excited about but she's well handicapped and a return to AW may spark a revival. Dual winner here, latterly over C&D last November off an 8lb higher mark; expect better.
2	6 2nd (6) (17/2 +23%) Gerrots		8.5 17/2(+23%)																															(6) Gerrots 17/2, 8/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (1½m soft) 69 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Wainwright. Others are more obvious. Tapeta record would be patchy at best; only holds each-way claims back from ten weeks off.
3	2 3rd (2) (15/8 +37%) Bear Claws		1.875 15/8(+37%)																															(2) Bear Claws 15/8, Latest win at Limerick in June. 3/1, first run since leaving Eric McNamara when creditable 4 lengths fourth of 12 to Sexy Rexy in handicap at this course (12.2f) 2 days ago. Can make presence felt. Ex-Irish gelding who was all the rage here on Saturday; evidently felt capable.
4	10 4th (10) (9/4 +55%) Mellow Mood		2.25 9/4(+55%)																															(10) Mellow Mood 9/4, Yet to win but placed on a regular basis this year, running creditably for third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 23 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Exposed maiden who's gone close a few times; no obvious reason why she won't get involved.
5th	8 5th (8) (40/1 +0%) Eaux De Vie		40 40/1(+0%)																															(8) Eaux De Vie 40/1, Poor form. 40/1, last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (2m, AW) 40 days ago. Best to look elsewhere again. String of modest runs at big prices since handicapping; Mellow Mood her yard's best chance.
6th	11 6th (11) (80/1 -21%) Wilpena Pound		80 80/1(-21%)																															(11) Wilpena Pound 80/1, Poor maiden. Last of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13f, 125/1) 37 days ago. Outsider again. Achieved little for Sir Mark Prescott and it's been more of the same for this yard.
7th	9 7th (9) (100/1 -203%) O' Dells Star		100 100/1(-203%)																															(9) O' Dells Star 100/1, Modest form. Visored first time, last of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, soft, 40/1) 86 days ago. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Karl Burke. Regressive for Karl Burke before being sold for £1,000; goes up in trip again.
8th	3 8th (3) (22/1 +0%) Abstract		22 22/1(+0%)																															(3) Abstract 22/1, One win from 29 Flat runs. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm, 66/1) 35 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Well held back from a summer break early last month and needs to do much better than that.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 +0%) Third Avenue		33 33/1(+0%)																															(7) Third Avenue 33/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 125/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Catterick (2m, good) 62 days ago. Generally struggled since a couple of absences and would be a surprise winner.
10th	12 10th (12) (33/1 -175%) Rock Goddess		33 33/1(-175%)																															(12) Rock Goddess 33/1, Well held in 3 outings this summer but has a basement opening mark as a result and needs a betting check with first-time cheekpieces added to the tongue tie he's worn the last twice. Tailed off all three runs (1m2f-1m4f) but connections entitle her to a bit of respect.

LTO Selection:

MELLOW MOOD has been a model of consistency this season and recent efforts here and at Lingfield suggest that a maiden victory may be just around the corner. Today may be that day with Shariq Mohd taking off a valuable 7lb, and she is narrowly preferred to unexposed handicap debutant King Of The Pride and Peripeteia, a C&D winner who has dropped down to a very handy mark.

PERIPETEIA is now on a lower mark than when scoring twice here last autumn so might be worth chancing now back here for the first time this year. A market move for James Ferguson handicap newcomer King of The Pride would make him a potential big threat. The reliable Mellow Mood also makes the shortlist.

2	4 2nd (4) (6/1 +0%) Way Of Life		6 6/1(+0%)																															(4) Way Of Life 6/1, C&D winner. 12/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Chester (1½m, soft) 23 days ago. Not ruled out each-way but others look a little better handicapped at present.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/2 -57%) Genesius		5.5 11/2(-57%)																															(7) Genesius 11/2, C&D winner. Back to winning ways at Thirsk in June. 17/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 10 days ago. Can make presence felt. Handicapper in charge, but as he showed at Newcastle last time he's an each-way player.
4	6 4th (6) (7/1 +13%) Chase The Dollar		7 7/1(+13%)																															(6) Chase The Dollar 7/1, Well-held fifth of 8 in handicap at Chester (1½m, soft, 17/2) 23 days ago but claims on his AW second at Newcastle prior to that. Respected back on AW. Never seriously involved at Chester latest but not ruled out not back on this surface.
5th	5 5th (5) (28/1 -100%) Daheer		28 28/1(-100%)																															(5) Daheer 28/1, 5-time course winner but the latest was in April 2022.

6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 -20%) God Of Fire		12 12/1(-20%)																															(8) God Of Fire 12/1, Course winner. Ninth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (1¼m, AW) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Could again be an each-way player if shrugging off a lesser effort at Lingfield latest.
7th	1 7th (1) (13/2 +41%) Protected Guest		6.5 13/2(+41%)																															(1) Protected Guest 13/2, Unreliable individual. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (1½m, 40/1) 26 days ago. On a good mark but isn't one to trust. Inconsistent this year but drops in grade and can be given a chance from this mark.
8th	9 8th (9) (11/2 -10%) Bulldog Spirit		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(9) Bulldog Spirit 11/2, Latest win at Doncaster in June. 9/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (1½m, good to soft) 18 days ago. Thereabouts. Tapeta (1m) and turf (1m4f) winner; unexposed on AW surfaces and not ruled out.
9th	2 9th (2) (15/2 -7%) Study The Stars		7.5 15/2(-7%)																															(2) Study The Stars 15/2, Returned from 11 months off at the top of his game when winning 6-runner handicap at Kempton (1½m) last month. Creditable third there since. Likely to be on the premises. Has returned in good form and may still have more to come over this trip; contender.

LTO Selection:

GENESIUS returned from a short break to run an excellent race when second at Newcastle last time out, and this looks like an ideal opportunity to gain a fifth career victory. That may be at the main expense of the relatively consistent Fulfilled and Study The Stars, who is looking to make it three wins in his last four starts.

GENESIUS split a couple of 3-y-os when second at Newcastle recently and may be able to go one better off the same mark. Chase The Dollar hasn't finished out of the first 2 in his last 5 AW starts and is feared most ahead of George Baker's Study The Stars.

Makes tapeta debut and this is much easier. Could go well. Found out in better company latest but this is more realistic and she could have a say..
2	7 2nd (7) (10/3 +72%) Phoenix Beach		3.333333 10/3(+72%)																															(7) Phoenix Beach 10/3, Fairly useful form in 2022 but operating below his best in 3 starts this year, off 4 months before latest run at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 37 days ago. His claims aren't obvious. Below par recently, including after wind surgery latest; handy mark if he can be revived..
3	5 3rd (5) (10/3 +33%) Murbih		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(5) Murbih 10/3, C&D winner. 8/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 6 days ago. If you forgive his latest lacklustre effort here, he has each-way claims from this mark..
4	4 4th (4) (22/1 -83%) The Defiant		22 22/1(-83%)																															(4) The Defiant 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in June. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 33/1) 24 days ago. Took a step back in the right direction latest and another 2lb drop opens the door..
5th	1 5th (1) (10/1 -33%) Cinque Verde		10 10/1(-33%)																															(1) Cinque Verde 10/1, C&D winner. Ninth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Leicester (5f, good) 14 days ago. Enters calculations back here. C&D winner; posted a lesser effort on turf latest but big player back here..

Not stood much racing this year. Hood goes on. Well beaten in all three starts since C&D success; hood goes on; plenty to prove..
8th	2 8th (2) (11/4 -83%) Tallulah Myla		2.75 11/4(-83%)																															(2) Tallulah Myla 11/4, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (11/8) at this C&D 37 days ago by ½ length from Cinque Verde. Expected to be bang there again. C&D winner latest; up 4lb but still going the right way and she's a contender again..

LTO Selection:

---

TALLULAH MYLA capitalised on a declining mark when landing the spoils over C&D last time out and won with enough in hand to suggest that she can overcome a 4lb rise in the ratings. Cluedo is another to consider on the pick of her efforts and Henry Candy's filly merits respect now dropped into class 5 company. Track-and-trip winner The Defiant may also have a say now returned to this venue.

TALLULAH MYLA landed a gamble in good style over C&D last month and looks good for the follow up after a 4 lb rise. Old-rival Cinque Verde could be a danger back on AW, while Cluedo is a player back in calmer waters.

Cheekpieces back on. One to consider. Two previous efforts in cheekpieces weren't great but he's one to consider back on Tapeta.

3	9 3rd (9) (16/1 -45%) Ticket To Alaska		16 16/1(-45%)																															(9) Ticket To Alaska 16/1, Blinkered for 1st time, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap (17/2) at this course (8.6f) 14 days ago. Didn't see out 8.7f here from a wide stall last time; he's landed stall 12 again though.
4	12 4th (12) (5/2 +50%) Bernie The Bear		2.5 5/2(+50%)																															(12) Bernie The Bear 5/2, C&D winner. Winner here in August. Good second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 11/8) 10 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Not taken lightly. Better since returned to Tapeta, minus the headgear, and has good claims at this level.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/3 +17%) Coloane		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(4) Coloane 10/3, 4/1, last of 4 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 28 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Good chance back on AW (form figures here of 222). Regressive maiden; been beaten at 4-1 or shorter six times in her last eight starts; risky.
6th	1 6th (1) (14/1 -40%) Stryder		14 14/1(-40%)																															(1) Stryder 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 49 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Ed Walker. More needed. Steady progress for Ed Walker before being sold for 8,000gns; needs to improve on AW debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (20/1 +9%) Fitzroy River		20 20/1(+9%)																															(8) Fitzroy River 20/1, 33/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 93 days ago. Others more persuasive. Yet to get involved in a finish, including in three 6f handicaps; up against it back at 7f.
8th	5 8th (5) (7/2 +13%) Another Dimension		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(5) Another Dimension 7/2, 9/2, good sixth of 13 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 14 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Regressive maiden who's often pulled hard; comes down in trip in first-time headgear.
9th	10 9th (10) (50/1 -127%) Burrows Dream		50 50/1(-127%)																															(10) Burrows Dream 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, eleventh of 13 in minor event at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 59 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Could do better at this low base. Triple-figure prices for three runs; would want to see good support before considering her.
10th	11 10th (11) (100/1 -100%) Wood Farm Wag		100 100/1(-100%)																															(11) Wood Farm Wag 100/1, Fourth of 8 in minor event at this course (8.6f, 125/1) 30 days ago, having run of race. Easy to look elsewhere. Ran well above herself in a novice here last time but was clearly flattered from the front.
11th	3 11th (3) (33/1 -106%) Miss Sarajevo		33 33/1(-106%)																															(3) Miss Sarajevo 33/1, Last of 7 in handicap at Brighton (7f, heavy, 11/1) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Possible to make a case on her two Tapeta runs for Richard Spencer, back in headgear.
12th	6 12th (6) (80/1 +20%) Princess Savannah		80 80/1(+20%)																															(6) Princess Savannah 80/1, Winner at Thirsk in June. 66/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good) 42 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Three poor efforts for this yard since winning a 6f Thirsk seller for Kevin Ryan.

LTO Selection:

---

With solid recent form thin on the ground, this looks a suitable opportunity for BERNIE THE BEAR to record a second success in his last three appearances. The Elzaam gelding arrives in good heart and is hard to oppose. Fayasel finished a respectable fourth at Chelmsford on Thursday and shouldn't be far away with a similar performance. Another Dimension is a potential improver with first-time blinkers applied and completes the shortlist.

COLOANE has some solid efforts on the AW to her name and could finally open her account here. Bernie The Bear and Fayasel are a couple of the dangers.

Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft, 9/2) 28 days ago. Visor back on. Merits consideration. Currently 3-4 over C&D; running well enough on turf to suggest he's up to taking this.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 -38%) Liberty Breeze		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(4) Liberty Breeze 11/2, 10/3, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy) 16 days ago. In the mix. Generally consistent but is best suited by Catterick and is currently 0-10 on Tapeta.
3	6 3rd (6) (8/1 +20%) Alyara		8 8/1(+20%)																															(6) Alyara 8/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 4/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 23 days ago. Can give a good account. Has regressed this year; will likely need a strong pace and some luck from stall 9.
4	5 4th (5) (20/1 +9%) Swiss Rowe		20 20/1(+9%)																															(5) Swiss Rowe 20/1, C&D winner. Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm, 50/1) 75 days ago. Visor back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Absent since a poor run on turf in July; others have more obvious claims.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/2 -38%) Crystal Dawn		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(3) Crystal Dawn 11/2, C&D winner. 4/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 90 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ronald Thompson and looks competitive on form. Does well at this time of year; new yard has been in good form, so she's considered.
6th	7 6th (7) (12/1 +33%) Aviary		12 12/1(+33%)																															(7) Aviary 12/1, C&D winner. 20/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago. Hood back on. Has work to do. Should do better at this level but stall 12 isn't good for one happiest on the sharp end.
7th	12 7th (12) (33/1 +18%) Buachaill		33 33/1(+18%)																															(12) Buachaill 33/1, Unreliable type. Course winner. One win from 25 Flat runs. Tenth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at this course (9.5f) 2 days ago. Down in trip. Hood had a positive effect in the spring but he's reverted to type since.
8th	2 8th (2) (5/1 +29%) Mutanaaseq		5 5/1(+29%)																															(2) Mutanaaseq 5/1, 4 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win at Catterick in September. Ninth of 15 in handicap (11/2) at Thirsk (7f, soft) 21 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Can bounce back in style. Better treated on AW than turf; patchy on Tapeta but this course ought to suit better.
9th	9 9th (9) (28/1 -155%) Madrinho		28 28/1(-155%)																															(9) Madrinho 28/1, Unreliable individual. C&D winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Brighton (8f, good) 35 days ago. Blinkers back on. Something to find on form. Knocking on now but he remains pretty consistent for his age; remains capable.
10th	11 10th (11) (33/1 +18%) Macon Belle		33 33/1(+18%)																															(11) Macon Belle 33/1, 25/1, only seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 6 days ago. Remains a maiden after 30 Flat runs. Longstanding, regressive maiden who's drawn wide; has become wildly inconsistent this year.
11th	8 11th (8) (12/1 +64%) Fai Fai		12 12/1(+64%)																															(8) Fai Fai 12/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 66/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy) 16 days ago so others are preferred. Pulled hard on his first run at beyond sprint trips last time; can't be recommended.
12th	10 12th (10) (12/1 -20%) Merry Secret		12 12/1(-20%)																															(10) Merry Secret 12/1, Unreliable type. First run since leaving Lawrence Mullaney when sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 9/2) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. Hard to win with now but went close over C&D in August and should fare better.

LTO Selection:

MUTANAASEQ has been rolling back the years on turf of late and although the eight-year-old will need to put a below-par effort at Thirsk behind him, he makes plenty of appeal on his return to the all-weather off a lower mark. Liberty Breeze has posted several creditable efforts in defeat in recent appearances and the mare should be in the mix once more, with similar sentiments applicable for Major Gatsby.

MUTANAASEQ didn't enjoy the rub of the green when ninth at Thirsk last time and is fancied to bounce back in style and bag a fifth success of 2023. Three-time C&D winner Major Gatsby is feared most, although Crystal Dawn and Liberty Breeze need factoring into this open-looking handicap too.

Currently 3-4 over C&D, MAJOR GATSBY gets the nod on his return to Tapeta. Crystal Dawn goes well in the autumn and is next best.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

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

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
