13:50 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 16f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (1/2 +85%) Fascile Mode	0.5 1/2(+85%)	(6) Fascile Mode 1/2, Made a winning debut at Leopardstown in December. Failed to build on that when behind the reopposing A Dream To Share in Graded events in the spring but remains a decent hurdle prospect. Beat a smart type on his bumper debut, ran in two of the races won by A Dream To Share.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 +82%) Barometer	4.5 9/2(+82%)	(2) Barometer 9/2, Fair Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Thurles (16f, soft, 11/1) 6 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Bit below form on last hurdle outing. One win and nine places from 21 Flat starts, has some hurdling experience, place chance.
3	5 3rd (5) (14/1 +13%) Dorans Law	14 14/1(+13%)	(5) Dorans Law 14/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 5/2, eleventh of 17 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 21 days ago but his strength in the betting on that occasion suggests he's thought capable of better. Mid-field in a course bumper, tame effort when favourite on hurdling debut at Listowel.
4	16 4th (16) (33/1 +34%) Idol	33 33/1(+34%)	(16) Idol 33/1, Bumper winner for Willie Mullins in August 2022 but not seen again until well held on his hurdle debut 16 days ago. Should strip fitter for the run. Roscommon bumper winner for Willie Mullins last year, made a low-key yard/hurdling debut.
5th	10 5th (10) (25/1 -56%) Qatar Spirit	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) Qatar Spirit 25/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 50/1, third of 11 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 12 days ago. More than six years since AW win in France, good effort when third at Gowran 12 days ago.
6th	12 6th (12) (100/1 +33%) Schiehallion	100 100/1(+33%)	(12) Schiehallion 100/1, Court Cave gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Vinabell. Closely related to 2m4f hurdle winner Vinabell, dam won seven races over jumps.
7th	14 7th (14) (9/1 +55%) Solo Flight	9 9/1(+55%)	(14) Solo Flight 9/1, Placed in points. 11/1 and tongue strap on, showed a bit when fifth of 16 in bumper at this course (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 165 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Placed on both starts in points, shaped quite well when fifth in a course bumper in April.
8th	9 8th (9) (15/2 +77%) Lookondebrightside	7.5 15/2(+77%)	(9) Lookondebrightside 15/2, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 8/1, ninth of 14 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 23 days ago. Second in a maiden hurdle at last year's Listowel festival, below that form since.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 +67%) Forever Frankie	33 33/1(+67%)	(7) Forever Frankie 33/1, Modest hurdler. 80/1, fifth of 17 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 21 days ago. Showed some ability at Listowel on his second hurdle start, one for handicaps perhaps.
10th	8 10th (8) (40/1 +60%) Kalaroun	40 40/1(+60%)	(8) Kalaroun 40/1, Modest Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Modest winner at 11f on flat. Tenth of 15 in novice hurdle (16/1) at Galway (16.6f, soft) 30 days ago. AW winner with modest overall Flat form, mild promise on the first of two hurdle outings.
11th	4 11th (4) (250/1 -67%) Divilabother	250 250/1(-67%)	(4) Divilabother 250/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 18 in novice hurdle at Navan (15.6f, good to soft, 200/1) on NH debut 25 days ago. Showed a tendency to jump to the right when down the field at Navan, changes direction now.
12th	13 12th (13) (250/1 -25%) Shining Flame	250 250/1(-25%)	(13) Shining Flame 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 18 in bumper at this course (18f, good to soft) 166 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Completely tailed off in bumper outings at Fairyhouse and this venue last season.
13th	3 13th (3) (125/1 -25%) Blackcastle Storm	125 125/1(-25%)	(3) Blackcastle Storm 125/1, Fair Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fair winner at 10f on flat. 80/1, eighth of 12 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 9 days ago. Won a 1m2f handicap at Down Royal last year; has made mistakes on both hurdling attempts.
14th	17 14th (17) (80/1 +20%) Smile Again	80 80/1(+20%)	(17) Smile Again 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 22/1, sixth of 14 in bumper at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) 153 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Unplaced in two bumper runs, nothing to suggest she can feature on her hurdling debut.
15th	11 15th (11) (200/1 +0%) Restless Son	200 200/1(+0%)	(11) Restless Son 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in novice hurdle (28/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 12 days ago. Struggled on debut in a Gowran maiden hurdle in which Qatar Spirit was a long-priced third.

LTO Selection:

Racegoers are in for a treat as the unbeaten A DREAM TO SHARE makes his debut over flights. This son of Muhaarar was a perfect five from five in bumpers including in the Grade 2 at Leopardstown during the Dublin Racing Festival, before landing Grade 1 bumpers at Cheltenham and Punchestown which was mightily impressive. He is very hard to oppose on his first crack at hurdles. Fascile Mode made a good impression when winning on debut in a bumper at Leopardstown over Christmas. He was well behind A Dream To Share in two subsequent contests, but could have a future over hurdles. Qatar Spirit showed more in third at Gowran Park and has the opportunity to pick up more prize money.

This should be a straightforward introduction to hurdles for top-class bumper performer A DREAM TO SHARE. Fellow bumper winner Fascile Mode can chase him home ahead of John McConnell's Solo Flight.

FASCILE MODE, who took on the unbeaten A Dream To Share twice after a debut win at Leopardstown, looks the clear pick

13:50 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:02 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (7/2 +0%) World Of Darcy	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(2) World Of Darcy 7/2, Fairly useful colt, twice placed in listed company this season. Out of depth on first outing since leaving K. R. Burke when 9¾ lengths tenth of 12 to Alyanaabi in Somerville Tattersall Stakes at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago but merits respect back in this grade. Second run for yard; some doubts but peak RPR is best in this and he's dropped in class.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 +29%) Global Skies	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(1) Global Skies 5/2, Mondialiste gelding. 40,000 gns Breeze-Up purchase improved when winning 8-runner maiden at Haydock (6f, soft, 3/1) 12 days ago, suited by well-run race. Respected again. Won a maiden at Haydock (6f, soft) 12 days ago, slowly away and coming from last.
3	8 3rd (8) (17/2 +29%) Nukanan	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(8) Nukanan 17/2, Magna Grecia colt. Promise when third at Salisbury on debut but took a backwards step when thirteenth of 16 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 41 days ago. Bounce back called for. Green off the bridle both starts, hanging left when disappointing at Chelmsford on latest.
4	14 4th (14) (20/1 +39%) Thunderette	20 20/1(+39%)	(14) Thunderette 20/1, Foaled February 15. 50,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder filly. Closely related to smart winner up to 7f Culturati and 2-y-o 6f winner Endless Charm. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Makes some appeal on paper. 50,000gns yearling buy by Night Of Thunder, with useful pedigree.
5th	9 5th (9) (7/1 -100%) Pedro Valentino	7 7/1(-100%)	(9) Pedro Valentino 7/1, Foaled February 14. 50,000 gns yearling, Phoenix of Spain colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 7.4f/1m winner Blu Boy and 2-y-o 6f winner Misty Blues. Plenty to like on paper. 50,000gns yearling by Phoenix Of Spain; pretty useful pedigree; from a strong yard.
6th	3 6th (3) (33/1 +34%) Cuban Fiesta	33 33/1(+34%)	(3) Cuban Fiesta 33/1, Havana Grey colt. Improved from debut when fourth of 12 in maiden (66/1) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 90 days ago but will probably be of more interest in nurseries. Doncaster fourth (6f, good) three months ago was much better than debut; gelded.
7th	13 7th (13) (9/1 +0%) King's Ginger	9 9/1(+0%)	(13) King's Ginger 9/1, Foaled April 5. Kingman filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 1m winner Companionship. Noteworthy newcomer. By Kingman; market should be revealing on this first run from her leading yard.
8th	5 8th (5) (10/3 +52%) Gundogan	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(5) Gundogan 10/3, Territories gelding. Fared best of newcomers when fourth of 11 in minor event (28/1) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on debut 46 days ago, never nearer after having to pick way through. Type to improve. Debut form is not good enough but he looked promising and could be capable of a lot better.
9th	4 9th (4) (66/1 +0%) Finn Ironside	66 66/1(+0%)	(4) Finn Ironside 66/1, Due Diligence gelding. Again not really given a hard time from off the pace when fifth of 8 in minor event at Carlisle (7.8f, good, 66/1) 40 days ago. Looks one for nurseries. Finished closer at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) on second start but it's modest form.
10th	10 10th (10) (80/1 -142%) Profit Street	80 80/1(-142%)	(10) Profit Street 80/1, Profitable gelding. 50/1, fifth of 13 in maiden at Beverley (5f, heavy) 21 days ago, needing lesser test. Needs more stepping up in trip. Modest form in 5f maidens at Beverley in August (good to firm) and September (soft).
11th	11 11th (11) (100/1 -150%) Subaltern	100 100/1(-150%)	(11) Subaltern 100/1, Foaled February 21. 7,000 gns 2-y-o, No Nay Never gelding. Dam 1m winner out of winning close relative of high-class winner up to 1m Dubawi. Worth market check. 7,000gns 2yo (July); by No Nay Never; first foal; dam 1m winner (RPR 88); family of Dubawi.
12th	6 12th (6) (50/1 -25%) Hits The Front	50 50/1(-25%)	(6) Hits The Front 50/1, Foaled April 6. Tasleet gelding. Dam once-raced half-sister to smart 1m-10.3f winner Khairaat out of winning half-sister to high-class performer up to 1½m Maraahel. Likely to need time. Tasleet gelding; probably one for later on but worth a market check.
13th	7 13th (7) (200/1 -100%) I Am The Fox	200 200/1(-100%)	(7) I Am The Fox 200/1, Foaled March 8. Inns of Court colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Fly To Glory and winner up to 1¼m Dayron. Dam 5f-6.3f winner. Wears hood. Yard not associated with debut winners. By Inns Of Court; half-brother to 2 winners; hooded for debut from yard not noted for 2yos.

LTO Selection:

World Of Darcy would hold every chance if performing at his best, but John Ryan's colt hasn't hit the same heights since a third-placed effort in a Listed event at Deauville in early August. With that in mind, last-time-out maiden winner GLOBAL SKIES rates as a more solid proposition. The gelded son of Mondialiste won a shade cosily at Haydock recently and may be able to defy a 7lb penalty. Western completes the shortlist.

A tricky novice contest, in which WESTERN is given another chance to confirm the positive impression made at Ascot back in these calmer waters. Global Skies is respected having shown plenty of stamina to score at Haydock last time, whilst the twice listed-placed World of Darcy is also hard to rule out. Newcomers King's Ginger and Pedro Valentino are others to consider in a potentially warm event.

Others have better form but GUNDOGAN might find the improvement he needs judged on the conspicuous promise he showed on his debut.

14:02 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:10 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 -78%) Enthused	4 4/1(-78%)	(2) Enthused 4/1, Another from his stable who has thrived this year and won a pair of 2m wins at Uttoxeter in recent weeks. Found his run of good form coming to a halt at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) last time but can get back on track. Not at best last time but generally in very good form this season; major player.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +25%) Charles St	3 3/1(+25%)	(4) Charles St 3/1, Sold out of George Boughey's yard for 50,000 gns in August 2022 and would have made a winning hurdles debut at Warwick had he applied himself fully. Runner-up on his last four outings over hurdles and arrives fit from a couple of spins on the level. Greatly respected. Below form on the Flat lately but was second on five of six hurdling starts last season.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 -33%) Stonific	4 4/1(-33%)	(5) Stonific 4/1, Won the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen for David O'Meara in July 2021 and is clearly back on a mark he can be competitive from, runner-up at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Tongue tie back on and every chance of going one better. Well below best this year but was second off much-reduced mark last week; can't be ignored.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 -100%) Pillar Of Steel	9 9/1(-100%)	(1) Pillar Of Steel 9/1, On her third start for Henry Oliver, as good as ever when getting back to winning ways in mares' handicap at Stratford in August. Solid effort despite late jumping errors when third at Southwell next time but ran poorly on first start for this yard recently. Must bounce back. Below form on last month's stable debut and remains on fairly tough mark.
5th	6 5th (6) (3/1 +73%) Minella Plus	3 3/1(+73%)	(6) Minella Plus 3/1, Scored over fences at Hexham and here (both at around 2m) last autumn. Lower in the weights over hurdles and shaped as though back in form when third at Bangor in August but failed by a long chalk to build on that when well held at Hexham (16.2f, good) 5 weeks ago. Seemed to have turned a corner two runs ago but safely held since; others preferred.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/1 +31%) Sufi	11 11/1(+31%)	(7) Sufi 11/1, Winner at Newton Abbot last September and back to form following a 7-month break when adding to his tally at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) in June. However, little impact both subsequent starts (treated for post-race heat stress latest) so tough to fancy with much confidence. Won in June, after a break, but two lesser efforts have followed; up in grade today.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/1 -33%) Paros	16 16/1(-33%)	(3) Paros 16/1, Fairly useful form when winning twice in 2020/21. Pulled up all 4 starts in 2022/23 season and failed to convince in a couple of starts over fences upon joining present stable this summer. Offered little back over the smaller obstacles at Fontwell recently and cheekpieces now tried. Well held when last of three last month and has basically become disappointing.
8th	8 8th (8) (100/1 -100%) Diamond Joel	100 100/1(-100%)	(8) Diamond Joel 100/1, Long-standing maiden who again showed little when last seen at Huntingdon back in May. Easily opposed. 0-15 over hurdles and makes no appeal from 18lb out of weights.

LTO Selection:

Minella Plus is a lot better than his latest performance at Hexham suggests and he is likely to put in a better display. However, the vote goes to ENTHUSED, who struck when last seen in this grade at Uttoxeter in August and he won at a higher level on his next outing. The six-year-old looks well placed to make it three wins from his last four starts, while Charles St is another to consider in a first-time visor.

A few in with chances but STONIFIC is clearly back on a mark he can be competitive from so Gary Hanmer's 10-y-o is fancied to go one better than his staying-on second at Southwell last week. The main danger may come from Charles St, who continues to find one too good and may have to settle for that again for a fifth start in a row in this sphere. Enthused and Minella Plus can do battle for third spot.

The pick is STONIFIC, who travelled menacingly well for a long way when second at Southwell last week and is another 3lb lower here.

14:20 Sedgefield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (12/1 +76%) It's A Love Thing	12 12/1(+76%)	(2) It's A Love Thing 12/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m) who was given a considerate introduction to hurdling at Stratford in July and was found to have struck into himself when pulled up next time at Worcester. Likely be brought along steadily so best watched.
2	9 2nd (9) (6/1 +33%) Langton Wold	6 6/1(+33%)	(9) Langton Wold 6/1, Fair handicapper on Flat, stays 1¼m, finished down the field at Redcar last time. Market check advised.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/4 +50%) Western Soldier	1.25 5/4(+50%)	(7) Western Soldier 5/4, Useful on Flat in Germany, stays 9f. Racked up an impressive 5-timer towards the back end of last year and campaigned solely in Group 3 company this term, finishing down the field at Dusseldorf a couple of months ago. Interesting to see what the market says on yard/hurdles bow.
4	6 4th (6) (9/2 -13%) Trick Of The Tail	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(6) Trick Of The Tail 9/2, Modest maiden hurdler who found his good run coming to a halt when sixth in 12-runner maiden at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) in August. Bounce back required but that is entirely possible.
5th	10 5th (10) (5/1 +55%) Paddy Elvis	5 5/1(+55%)	(10) Paddy Elvis 5/1, Modest bumper performer who needs to up his game if he's to feature now hurdling.
6th	12 6th (12) (12/1 -85%) Whozatgirl	12 12/1(-85%)	(12) Whozatgirl 12/1, Modest form in 3 bumpers but offered something to work on switched to hurdling after 4 months off when fourth at Kelso (16.2f, good to firm) last month, the race won by a much shorter-priced stablemate. Entitled to do better and yard couldn't be in better form. Player.
7th	11 7th (11) (25/1 -525%) Touch Of A Dragon	25 25/1(-525%)	(11) Touch Of A Dragon 25/1, Offered something to work on when third on first 2 starts earlier this year and can have a line put through his latest effort at Hexham (saddle slipped before halfway). Hood applied for hurdling debut and is one to consider.
8th	1 8th (1) (150/1 -67%) Blue Bear	150 150/1(-67%)	(1) Blue Bear 150/1, Has had a different trainer for all 3 starts under Rules and looks one with jumping problems judged on his couple of efforts hurdling. Easily opposed.
9th	5 9th (5) (40/1 -150%) Swift Reply	40 40/1(-150%)	(5) Swift Reply 40/1, Mr Medici gelding. Dam unraced. Unseated rider sole start in points (Apr 10).
10th	4 10th (4) (50/1 -355%) Ruleout	50 50/1(-355%)	(4) Ruleout 50/1, Fair in bumpers and having been strong in the betting, made an encouraging hurdling debut when third at Sligo back in July 2021. Pulled up after a clumsy display at Cork 3 weeks later and not seen since. Watching brief advised on first start for a new yard (had wind op).
11th	8 11th (8) (40/1 -82%) At The Double	40 40/1(-82%)	(8) At The Double 40/1, Fair handicapper at best on Flat, stays 2m, again tailed off on stable debut at Pontefract (17.1f, good) in August (previously trained by Sir Mark Prescott Bt). Cheekpieces retained for hurdles debut.

LTO Selection:

Better can be expected from Trick Of The Tail on the likely better ground here and Donald McCain's inmate shouldn't be far away. Western Soldier had some smart form on the Flat in Germany and also merits consideration on his hurdling debut. However, preference is for JOHNNY M, who looked booked for a solid third-placed finish in a competitive event at Kilbeggan in July but for falling at the final obstacle.

The market will no doubt reveal plenty with many of these making their hurdling debut, but preference is for JOHNNY M, who has experience on his side and shaped as if back in form prior to departing late on at Kilbeggan in July. Whozatgirl showed something to work on switched to hurdling after 4 months off at Kelso recently, so she's put forward as the main danger for her in-form yard, with Touch of A Dragon and Trick of The Tail rounding off the shortlist.

Milton Harris's hurdling debutant WESTERN SOLDIER was a useful winner on the Flat in Germany and gets the vote.

14:20 Sedgefield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:25 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +40%) Banntown Girl	3 3/1(+40%)	(1) Banntown Girl 3/1, 1 win from 3 NH runs this season. 3/1, shaped as though in reasonable form when 10 lengths fifth of 11 to First Dare in handicap hurdle at Navan (15.6f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Bit too keen in lady riders handicap latest; remains of interest if settling better.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/4 +36%) First Dare	1.75 7/4(+36%)	(4) First Dare 7/4, 3/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Navan (15.6f, good to soft) 25 days ago, pushed out. Shortlist material from 6 lb higher. Decisive Navan winner up 6lb but rider's claim brings her into it.
3	10 3rd (10) (12/1 -20%) Angelsworknovrtime	12 12/1(-20%)	(10) Angelsworknovrtime 12/1, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. Respectable fourth of 17 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 12/1) 40 days ago. Consistent maiden probably on a high enough mark so career-best needed.
4	8 4th (8) (9/1 -80%) Lovely Reaction	9 9/1(-80%)	(8) Lovely Reaction 9/1, Winner in hurdle at Limerick in January. 4/1, good third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy), responding well. Off 6 months. Bred to improve with time but could just lack a bit of sharpness after summer break.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 -75%) Ta Na La	14 14/1(-75%)	(9) Ta Na La 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on, below form fourth of 10 in maiden at Laytown (7.2f, 18/1) 29 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut from a fair-looking mark. Best maiden form on decent ground so won't want too much rain here on handicap debut.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/2 +10%) Dame Rapide	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(2) Dame Rapide 9/2, Winner in hurdle at Ballinrobe in September. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, 10/3) 4 days ago. Turned out quickly. Got no sort of run on handicap debut at Fairyhouse 4 days ago; quick return and respected.
7th	3 7th (3) (66/1 -230%) Hophornbeam	66 66/1(-230%)	(3) Hophornbeam 66/1, Latest win in hurdle at Cartmel in June 2022. Seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Sligo (20.6f, good). Off 14 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Absent since tailed off at Sligo in August 2022; runs well fresh but still best watched.
8th	7 8th (7) (11/1 +45%) Circus Act	11 11/1(+45%)	(7) Circus Act 11/1, 16/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16.2f, soft) 10 days ago. Can give a good account. Expected to come on for recent comeback run but won't want too much rain.
9th	5 9th (5) (22/1 -83%) Derridae	22 22/1(-83%)	(5) Derridae 22/1, Latest win in hurdle at Thurles in December. 10/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20f, heavy), driven 3 out. Off 7 months. Goes well fresh, back to her best trip so one to consider.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (50/1 -52%) Coastguard Lady	50 50/1(-52%)	(11) Coastguard Lady 50/1, Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving W. P. Mullins when fourth of 8 in novice chase (50/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft) on debut over fences 26 days ago Back in trip here in first handicap hurdle and still time to improve.

LTO Selection:

FIRST DARE appeals after a comfortable victory in a ladies' handicap hurdle at Navan last month. She's not the biggest horse in the world, so it looks a shrewd move to book 7lb claimer Tom Harney as his claim more than offsets the 6lb rise she got for that Navan success. Former Limerick winner Lovely Reaction ought to be a factor if fully wound up on her return to action. She was a never-nearer third at Limerick when last seen in March. Dame Rapide wasn't at her best in fifth on soft ground at Fairyhouse on Saturday, so the forecast deluge for Wednesday morning is a concern albeit she is a talented mare.

FIRST DARE was better than ever when doubling her career tally at Navan last month and this revised mark looks well within range. Banntown Girl and Ta Na La head the opposition.

Having won with a bit to spare at Navan recently, FIRST DARE is taken to follow up off a 6lb higher mark

Should stay this trip and is a player if able to bounce back. Easy win at Newmarket prompted a 10lb rise, followed by a fair last of six at Doncaster.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 -20%) Ajyad	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Ajyad 12/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 47 days ago, nearest finish. Could find more stepping up to this trip but others appear better treated on balance. Dual scorer (1m2f/1m3f) in small fields in early summer; not quite so hot since.
4	5 4th (5) (1.88/1 +6%) Sanction	1.88 1.88/1(+6%)	(5) Sanction 1.88/1, Lightly-raced winner. Has won both starts since leaving William Haggas, producing a career best in 9-runner handicap (13/8) at Catterick (12.1f, heavy) 18 days ago, scoring comfortably. Should give a bold bid in search for hat-trick. 2-2 with the switch to handicapping and her latest start gives plenty of hope for 1m6f.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/2 -27%) Alba Longa	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(3) Alba Longa 7/2, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Resumed progress when winning heavy ground event at Chester in August. Ran too badly to be true in listed race there last time and certainly merits another chance. Two wins on soft this season over about 1m4f; tailed off in Listed race on good to soft.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/1 +10%) So Farhh So Good	9 9/1(+10%)	(6) So Farhh So Good 9/1, Showed more when third on handicap debut at Newbury in July but has taken backwards steps both outings since. Others preferred. Disappointing on last two starts; tries another new trip; others look far more solid.

LTO Selection:

SANCTION has really hit the ground running since entering handicaps under the tutelage of Edward Bethell and a hat-trick looks very much in the offing in her current vein of form. Alba Longa wasn't quite ready for Listed company at Chester last month, but the Muhaarar filly shouldn't be underestimated on the return to handicaps. She may emerge as the chief threat to the selection, ahead of the in-form Divine Comedy.

SANCTION was a most comfortable winner at Catterick and she's fancied to maintain her unbeaten start for the Ed Bethell yard. Alba Longa wasn't herself in a higher grade at Chester last time but had looked one to keep on the right side of beforehand and can get back on track, whilst Reina del Mar is another who should be in the mix if able to shrug off a lesser effort last time.

More improvement seems likely from SANCTION, who can therefore extend her unbeaten record in handicaps. Divine Comedy is next best.

LTO Selection:

KUNDALINE sets a lofty standard with a rating of 129 after her respectable efforts at Auteuil earlier in the year and she is fancied to make her first start in the UK a victorious one. The main threat is Majestic Jameela after her second at Cartmel and she could take another step forward, while Grain Of Hope also needs consideration after hitting the crossbar on both of her hurdles starts to date.

KUNDALINE sets a high standard on her French form, performing with credit in listed company, and she can make the journey across the Channel worthwhile for connections. Majestic Jameela can chase her home unless the market suggests debutante Virginia Lodge is pretty useful.

The most interesting runner is French raider KUNDALINE, who performed well in Listed grade at Auteuil on her last two appearances.

LTO Selection:

Coolmoyne posted several creditable efforts in defeat at this level last season and the seven-year-old must enter calculations once again. However, it could be worth chancing ROYLE STEEL, who may benefit from a 108-day break as well as Brian Hughes now doing the steering. Winning pointer Breeze Of Wind is another to consider on his handicap/chase debut for new connections.

COOLMOYNE is fairly treated on his return to action and looks the safest option in a race which makes minimal appeal from a betting perspective. Breeze of Wind and Brickadank can also make their presence felt.

The tentative selection is BERGENTOWN who looks to have the ability to have a big say from this mark.

Might have needed the run when below par at Galway 3 months later. Has a lower mark over hurdles. Course 2m5f handicap chase winner at the festival, potentially very well treated.

LTO Selection:

HEREDITARY RULE could be worth chancing off a mark of 114. He is rated 24lb higher over fences and has obviously been keeping good company in that discipline including when winning a Grade A handicap chase at Punchestown in April. He notably won on his last outing over hurdles at Downpatrick in September last year. Moonovercloon fell at the final flight when joined in Listowel, but certainly has prospects on his best form. Gold Speed kept on well to score in another race at Listowel and shouldn't be underestimated off 5lb higher, while Kilbeggan winner Tom McGreevy is up in trip and has his chance. Ms Agartha Yeats would be of interest as a maiden hurdle winner on debut at Wexford, however, she has been off for almost a year which tempers enthusiasm.

Lots of runners but COMO PARK still rather stands out from an opening handicap hurdle mark which could prove very lenient judged on Flat ability. The blinkers he wore to good effect on the Flat are now in place for the first time over hurdles and this longer trip should also be in his favour so there are plenty of reasons to be positive. Moonovercloon, Clifftop, Hereditary Rule, who is well treated on chase form, and Ms Agartha Yeats should be involved in the battle for minor honours.

If suffering no ill effects from a poor run at the Galway festival, HEREDITARY RULE may be able to take advantage of his hurdles mark

Dam, 1½m-1¾m winner, half-sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Bold Sniper. Plenty to like on paper. Dubawi colt; there's plenty to like on paper for this newcomer from a top yard.

LTO Selection:

The King's General, a half-brother to Listed winner Perfect Alibi, is worth a second look on his debut, more so if strong in the market. However, MIDAIR sets a fair standard on last month's runner-up effort at Goodwood and he could put that experience to good use by going one place better. Last-time-out winner Going The Distance is heading in the right direction and completes the shortlist.

MIDAIR was still slightly rough around the edges but shaped most encouragingly behind a more experienced rival at Goodwood last time and the well-bred Juddmonte colt is fancied to get off the mark at the third attempt. Going The Distance is also open to progress having overcome greenness to score at Ffos Las, whilst The King's General is a very appealing newcomer for the Gosden yard.

Going The Distance concedes 6lb to MIDAIR who has a much better chance on form. Others could also play a part.

Left clear at final fence to win small-field chase at Perth in June; enters calculations.

LTO Selection:

REXEM was second to a subsequent Grade 3 runner-up on his latest start and that form reads extremely well in the context of this race. The six-year-old could be well up to defying a mark of 131 here. Inishbiggle showed a lot more at Uttoxeter on his latest outing and he could have a say off a 1lb lower rating, while Sure Touch can beat Petrastar home for third on his debut over fences.

Point-winner REXEM has acquitted himself well in a trio of starts over fences in Ireland and can make a successful switch to handicapping here. Chase-debutant Sure Touch may provide the chief threat.

This could be a good opportunity for Irish raider REXEM, who ran well in defeat behind a pretty good horse at Galway last month.

5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 -71%) Sean Og	12 12/1(-71%)	(2) Sean Og 12/1, Disappointed on chase debut in May but improved when second over hurdles on final outing for Margaret Mullins. Low-key start for this yard in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, soft) but much better back over hurdles when second in novice at Kelso.

8th	5 8th (5) (16/1 +20%) Ballyquin Bay	16 16/1(+20%)	(5) Ballyquin Bay 16/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Gordon Elliott and best effort for current yard when fourth of 9 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 8 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive.
9th	14 9th (14) (40/1 +0%) Just Hannah	40 40/1(+0%)	(14) Just Hannah 40/1, Point winner who has yet to trouble the judge under Rules and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

11th	8 11th (8) (22/1 +33%) Aire Valley Lad	22 22/1(+33%)	(8) Aire Valley Lad 22/1, Belatedly opened chase account at the twelfth time of asking in December. Only come close to giving his running once since, however.
12th	9 12th (9) (16/1 +11%) Callisto's King	16 16/1(+11%)	(9) Callisto's King 16/1, Yet to win a race but shaped well a couple of times over hurdles. Didn't take to chasing and back over timber now for new yard (sold from Dan Skelton £5,500 in August).

LTO Selection:

Stable debutant Liberty Flame is worth a check in the market now entering handicaps, with his opening mark appearing to be workable. However, BRIAN'S JET has a more convincing profile following respectable third over 2m1f here on his return to action last week. The five-year-old may find enough improvement over this extra distance to land the spoils. Spot On Soph often gives her running and should be in the shake-up too.

PRINCE IMPERIAL was unsuited by the emphasis on speed on his return to this sphere at Newton Abbot and is worth another chance off what remains a tempting mark given his useful form on the Flat. The progressive Zwicky is feared most ahead of Spot On Soph.

The Phil Kirby-trained ZWICKY is open to further improvement and, if ready for this reappearance, he could take a bit of beating.

1	1 1st (1) (0.36/1 +28%) Hercule Du Seuil	0.36 0.36/1(+28%)	(1) Hercule Du Seuil 0.36/1, Promising sort. 4 wins from 5 runs this season. Career best when winning 5-runner Gr 3 chase at Roscommon (16.5f, soft, 2/5) 16 days ago by 12 lengths from Calico, hard held. Will continue to take plenty of besting. Beaten by Senecia at Ballinrobe but has won four in a row since, can extend the sequence.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -33%) Senecia	12 12/1(-33%)	(5) Senecia 12/1, Useful chaser. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Ballinrobe in May. 14/1, fell heavily in Like A Butterfly Novices' Chase at Tipperary (20.1f, soft) 10 days ago. Beat Hercule Du Seuil at Ballinrobe in May, everything points to that rival in the rematch.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 -33%) Lucid Dreams	4 4/1(-33%)	(3) Lucid Dreams 4/1, Useful winner at 23f over hurdles. Career best when winning 8-runner novice chase (6/5) at Sligo (17.6f, heavy) on debut over fences 14 days ago, easily. Plenty more to come over fences. Winner of four of his last six races, won with plenty to spare on chasing debut at Sligo.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 +44%) Path D'oroux	9 9/1(+44%)	(4) Path D'oroux 9/1, Useful hurdler. Tailed-off fourth of 5 to Hercule Du Seuil in Gr 3 chase at Roscommon (16.5f, soft, 7/2) on debut over fences 16 days ago. This will reveal more. Totally uncompetitive when second-favourite for Roscommon event won by Hercule De Seuil.
5th	6 5th (6) (80/1 -21%) Hazelhatch Lady	80 80/1(-21%)	(6) Hazelhatch Lady 80/1, Fair chaser. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in August. 66/1, tailed-off last of 5 to Hercule Du Seuil in Gr 3 chase at Roscommon (16.5f, soft) 16 days ago. Completely tailed off when 66-1 in Roscommon race won by Hercule Du Seuil.
6th	2 6th (2) (150/1 -275%) Dragon Rock	150 150/1(-275%)	(2) Dragon Rock 150/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Unseated rider in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good, 4/1) 109 days ago. Down in trip. Maiden hurdle winner, jumping a concern based on his two chase attempts in Britain.

LTO Selection:

HERCULE DU SEUIL will be a prohibitive price, but ought to deliver. Willie Mullins' chaser ran up a sequence of four clear-cut victories between May and September including at Grade 3 level on his last couple of starts at Galway and Roscommon. He won at Grade 2 level over hurdles and has really taken to chasing, so there should be plenty more races to be won with him. Mullins landed this race last year with another odds-on shot. Senecia actually beat Hercule Du Seuil at Ballinrobe in May before the latter began his winning run. He fell in a Grade 3 in Tipperary at the start of the month, but wasn't beaten at the time. Lucid Dreams arrives in good humour from a novice hurdle win at Killarney and a debut chasing success at Sligo. Trainer John Ryan thinks a lot of him and he should be in the mix even though he has plenty to find on form with Hercule Du Seuil.

HERCULE DU SEUIL's bold jumping has already taken him a fair way over fences and he's strongly fancied to successfully concede weight all round and record win number 5 over the larger obstacles before having his sights raised. Lucid Dreams is the forecast choice.

With four consecutive wins to his name since beaten by Senecia at Ballinrobe in May, HERCULE DE SEUIL is in a strong position

1	2 1st (2) (3.5/1 +0%) Go Daddy	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(2) Go Daddy 3.5/1, Showed much improved form when second of 10 in maiden (33/1) at Sandown (1m, soft) 3 weeks ago, just failing. Can go one better upped further in trip on handicap debut. Flopped on second start; placed twice at Sandown and shapes as if 1m2f will be a big help.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 -6%) Let's Dream	2 2/1(-6%)	(3) Let's Dream 2/1, Suited by increase in trip when winning 5-runner maiden at Goodwood (9.9f, soft, 5/1) 2 weeks ago, leading on bridle over 1f out. Open to further progress as he makes handicap debut. Travelled much the best when winning a five-runner maiden at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) latest.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/1 +17%) Gamraan	10 10/1(+17%)	(4) Gamraan 10/1, Has struggled for consistency, going with little fluency when last of 7 in nursery (12/1) at Ayr (1m, good) 18 days ago. Improvement required over this longer distance. Has not gone beyond 1m but otherwise looks clearly the most exposed in this field.
4	5 4th (5) (7.5/1 -114%) Marefuori	7.5 7.5/1(-114%)	(5) Marefuori 7.5/1, Benefited from going up in trip when opening account in 7-runner nursery (11/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 18 days ago, easily. Could go well again now that he's up and running. Fifth start and his second handicap when winning at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) 18 days ago.
5th	1 5th (1) (15/8 +37%) Spanish Poet	1.875 15/8(+37%)	(1) Spanish Poet 15/8, After only 2 weeks off, went backwards from his winning debut when 12¼ lengths sixth of 7 to Arabian Crown in listed race at Salisbury (1m, good, 5/1) 56 days ago. May yet do better upped in distance sent handicapping. Won debut at Sandown (7f, heavy) but disappointing in Listed race at Salisbury (1m, good).

LTO Selection:

LET'S DREAM has improved with every run so far in his young career, with his latest effort coming when victorious by a length and a half at Goodwood. The son of Territories is open to plenty more improvement, so he can go close on his nursery debut. Last-time-out winner Marefuori has to be considered off a 4lb higher mark, while Spanish Poet will find this a lot easier than the Listed contest at Salisbury.

GO DADDY was well suited by the longer distance when runner-up at Sandown 3 weeks ago, doing his best work late on, and he can make a winning handicap debut as he goes further up in trip now. Let's Dream opened his account at Goodwood last time and is feared most on his nursery bow, ahead of Marefuori.

The vote goes to LET'S DREAM following his smooth win over 1m2f at Goodwood, with Go Daddy feared most.

1	2 1st (2) (8/13 +32%) Lisnamult Lad	0.615385 8/13(+32%)	(2) Lisnamult Lad 8/13, Off the mark over hurdles at the first attempt in maiden at Sligo (17.5f, good) in June and added to his tally in 2½m Hexham novice last month. Leading claims for an Irish stable which does so well with its runners in Britain.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/3 +17%) Pyffo	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(4) Pyffo 10/3, Quite useful in bumpers, including a win at Haydock in December. Should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling. First start since May.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 -33%) Ooh Betty	4 4/1(-33%)	(3) Ooh Betty 4/1, Point winner who took a bit of time to find her feet over hurdles but comes here on a hat-trick after wins in a C&D maiden and Uttoxeter novice in May. Has the potential for even better if she's primed after her break.
4	1 4th (1) (18/1 -80%) Cheltenam De Vaige	18 18/1(-80%)	(1) Cheltenam De Vaige 18/1, Took advantage of a poor showing by the favourite to gain a belated first success over hurdles at Stratford in August. However, was below form back chasing at Fontwell last time and is vulnerable under a penalty in this sphere.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (200/1 -203%) Annhe May	200 200/1(-203%)	(5) Annhe May 200/1, Native Ruler mare. Half-sister to poor chaser Junior Massini. Dam placed in points. Wears hood on debut. Would be a surprise winner.

LTO Selection:

LISNAMULT LAD could not have won any easier at Hexham last time out and he must hold every chance of landing the double with conditions in his favour once more. John McConnell's charge gets the vote ahead of Ooh Betty, who arrives on a hat-trick after victories over C&D and at Uttoxeter. Pyffo showed plenty of ability in three bumper outings and must be noted on his hurdling bow.

A small field but it's still quite an interesting race. John McConnell's LISNAMULT LAD's proven race fitness earns him the vote over returning pair Ooh Betty, who like the selection is a dual hurdle winner, and Pyffo, who displayed plenty of ability in bumpers.

It's hard to get away from LISNAMULT LAD, who breezed to a wide-margin success at Hexham last month and looks useful.

Others appeal more for the win. Handicapper has her measure at present but she's not ruled out of the frame..
5th	3 5th (3) (7/2 +22%) Oceans Red	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(3) Oceans Red 7/2, Three-time winner over fences with his latest success coming in this race by a wide margin last year off 7 lb lower. Ridden too aggressively when fifth at Bangor (24f, good) when last seen in May. Needs considering in re-fitted tongue tie/on the back of a wind op. 3m3f course winner; has had wind op; perhaps one to watch unless market vibes are strong..
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 -67%) Fiston Du Mou	10 10/1(-67%)	(1) Fiston Du Mou 10/1, Bounced back from a couple of below par performances when making all in a match at Catterick in February. Not in same form later that month, however, and has since left Patrick Neville. Course winner; yet to win when fresh but competitive if fully wound up on his return..

LTO Selection:

Humps And Bumps has been running running well enough at this level since the start of the year and she should go well once more off the same mark as her fourth at Hexham last time. However, preference is for TOP DECISION, who was fifth over 3m last time and the step up in distance could eke out the required improvement in order for him to score. Fiston Du Mou warrants a market check on his first start for the Stuart Coltherd yard.

OCEANS RED has had excuses on his last 2 starts and won this by a wide margin last year, so could be the answer. Whataboutyeh looks the type to resume progress back from a break and is a clear next best ahead of Top Decision.

The suggestion is WHATABOUTYEH (nap) who is unexposed and should be better suited by today's ground than the heavy going at Cartmel.

Ran no sort of race at Cheltenham subsequently but would be no surprise to see return to form here, 2021 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero, won at Tramore on reappearance last season, Gold Cup flop.

Has plenty on her plate again here. Little impact in valuable handicaps this season, struggled in Grade 2 event at Gowran.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 -71%) Delta Work	6 6/1(-71%)	(3) Delta Work 6/1, Smart performer who won the Cross Country Chase for the second year running at Cheltenham before unseating on second circuit in Grand National.

5th	1 5th (1) (11/4 -99%) Conflated	2.75 11/4(-99%)	(1) Conflated 11/4, Notched his second Grade 1 success over fences when landing the Savills at Leopardstown last Christmas and performed to an even higher standard when third in the Gold Cup next time. Ran flat at Aintree on final start of campaign but holds strong claims on return here. Third in last season's Cheltenham Gold Cup, does not have a great record when fresh.

LTO Selection:

A cracking Grade 3 contest. MINELLA INDO won on seasonal reappearance at the start of his last campaign and could repeat the feat here. The 10-year-old gelding is well versed in Grade 1 staying chases and has a good record coming off a break. Gordon Elliott has taken the last three renewals of this race and fields three horses in his bid to capture it again. His Gold Cup third Conflated is sure to be popular and has bright prospects off top-weight. His stablemate, Delta Work, won the Cross Country Chase at last season's Cheltenham Festival and shouldn't be lacking in stamina. Willie Mullins' Fighter Allen has race fitness on his side from a win at Sligo last month and could be a big price against the returning 'big guns'.

CONFLATED has to concede weight all round but a repetition of the form of his Gold Cup third will see him prove hard to beat. Minella Indo scored on his return last term and is narrowly preferred to Delta Work for the forecast spot.

Despite reservations about his ability to produce his best form when fresh CONFLATED may enhance his trainer's fine record in this race

LTO Selection:

The unbeaten MEZZO SOPRANO has made quite the impression in both starts, and a mark of 75 could prove particularly lenient on her handicap debut with the step up in trip expected to suit. The more exposed King Of Ithaca did it well here last month and is entitled to be thereabouts, while Triggered, a winner of two of his last three starts, has the form to get involved too.

MEZZO SOPRANO has created a good impression in winning her first 2 starts and an opening mark of 75 probably underestimates her, so she gets the nod over King of Ithaca, who beat a subsequent winner here last time.

Preference is for KING OF ITHACA (nap), who has very solid course form for his new yard. Mezzo Soprano is feared most.

Open to further improvement as she makes handicap debut. Dam's side suggests longer trips but this 3yo needs a close look on her handicap debut.
10th	10 10th (10) (13/2 +0%) Where's Freddy	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(10) Where's Freddy 13/2, Opened account at Newmarket in July and improved again when second of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (1m, soft, 15/2) 20 days ago, finishing well. Needs to continue his progress. 7f win at Newmarket; stuck to his task very well when beaten a head at Yarmouth (1m, soft).

LTO Selection:

MARCHING BAND has shown plenty of promise in maiden company the last twice for his powerful connections, including when third at Pontefract last time. The son of Ribchester could take a big step forward now entering the handicap ranks. The in-form Yorkstone will give him plenty to think about as he seeks the hat-trick, while Where's Freddy is the pick of the remainder following his second at Yarmouth.

Having shown improved form on his handicap debut, IN THE TRENCHES shaped as if needing the run after 4 months off on his latest outing, so he could still have more to offer on only his third start of the year. The 3-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of the hat-trick seeking Yorkstone, with Romilda another who merits consideration.

Competitive. WHERE'S FREDDY and Yorkstone at the foot of the weights have unfinished business over this trip.

1	2 1st (2) (9/4 -50%) Police Academy	2.25 9/4(-50%)	(2) Police Academy 9/4, Better than ever since leaving Oliver Sherwood, winning mares events at Uttoxeter (novice) in July and Bangor (handicap) in August. Ran at least as well in defeat at Worcester last time and good chance of another win here. Started off for Fergal O'Brien with two wins this summer and might still be improving.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/2 +36%) Regal Renaissance	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(3) Regal Renaissance 9/2, Quirky sort who got back on track with emphatic success in 12-runner C&D handicap in April. Presumably found the run coming too soon when well held at Warwick only 5 days later. Off since. Dual C&D winner last season and this 5yo may still have potential.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 -33%) Voice Of Calm	3 3/1(-33%)	(1) Voice Of Calm 3/1, Triple hurdle winner who also scored over fences at Leicester (match race) in February. Well held in a much deeper race at Cheltenham in April but capable of bouncing back returned to hurdles after a break. Had mixed record over fences last term but switches back to hurdling on a good mark.
4	4 4th (4) (2/1 +40%) Hedera Park	2 2/1(+40%)	(4) Hedera Park 2/1, Reached the frame 3 times in maiden/novice hurdles before improving to make a winning handicap debut at Worcester under Harry Cobden 23 days ago. Effectively 10 lb higher now but she was nicely on top at the finish and could have more to offer. Made smooth headway before asserting in pretty good style on last month's handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

Now that the penny has dropped for HEDERA PARK, after a comfortable success at Worcester last month, there could be much more improvement to come from the five-year-old. A 10lb higher mark could be workable and she may have too much for Police Academy, who has been a revelation since joining the Fergal O'Brien yard. Voice Of Calm is of interest on her return to hurdles and cannot be ruled out either.

POLICE ACADEMY has thrived for the switch to Fergal O'Brien and can make it 3 wins in her last 4 starts. Voice of Calm might be the one to give her most to do if she's ready to roll after 6 months off.

Top of the list is HEDERA PARK (nap), who appered to have quite a bit left in the tank when scoring on last month's handicap debut.

Same mark here and she's one to consider. Off 16 months before good Southwell second latest; can go well again off unchanged mark.

LTO Selection:

AMBASSADOR had Balranald back in second by just under a length when winning for the second time since joining the Micky Hammond stable at Kelso three weeks ago. The son of Invincible Spirit only has to give an extra 1lb away to his reopposing rival on this occasion and he should be more than capable of doing so. Leopolds Rock has hit the frame on each of his last two starts and he could have a say off the same rating as his second over C&D last month. A Shining Moon completes the shortlist.

A SHINING MOON has been knocking on the door over hurdles, and having come up a nose short at Kelso 3 weeks ago, he can gain compensation from the same mark. Leopolds Rock isn't straightforward but he has it him to be a big factor at this level, with Frisco Queen another to consider.

Paul Midgley's A SHINING MOON can race off the same mark as when a very good Kelso second and is taken to bag a first win in this sphere

LTO Selection:

HASCOEUR CLERMONT signalled that a win may not be far away when third in Downpatrick. He kept on nicely up the stiff finish to come home just behind the two horses who dead-heated for first place. It is heartening that the horse well behind him in fourth took the honours at Sligo on his next start. He Fitz In could be considered unlucky in a Sligo handicap chase as he fell at the last fence when holding a one-length lead. Prior to that, he delivered over flights in Navan so he has certainly struck form and merits plenty of respect. Likable Chancer has filled the runner-up berth in staying races at Listowel and Killarney, so has a decent chance off a light weight. Movie King was scratched from Downpatrick last Friday because of soft ground and the forecast rain wouldn't be to his liking.

LIKABLE CHANCER has been knocking on the door of late and should go well again. He Fitz In was around 2 lengths up when falling at the last at Sligo 2 weeks ago so rates a big threat if none the worse, while Midnight Our Fred should do better now handicapping.

Unlucky at Sligo recently, HE FITZ IN has been raised 5lb but can gain compensation

Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 7f Be Prepared and 7f winner Murphy's Dream. 11,000gns foal; by Harry Angel; yard has modest strike-rate with 2yos.

LTO Selection:

AGE OF BAROQUE showed plenty of ability when third on his debut over C&D last month and, with normal improvement expected, this well-bred son of Lope De Vega can get off the mark on this occasion. Odonnell's Orchard brings a higher level of form to the table and is one to watch out for, while Cynosure shaped well on his racecourse bow at Newbury despite a tardy start.

AGE OF BAROQUE's third over C&D on debut is the best piece of form and he's open to improvement, so he's a confident choice to open his account at the second attempt. Cynosure is a danger and Formidable Force also has potential.

Having made promising debut over this C&D, AGE OF BAROQUE holds the strongest claims. Ciro Di Marzio is second choice.

Could fare better with his reappearance run behind him. 22-1, well beaten in handicap at Sandown (1m2f, good) last month on turf/seasonal debut.

LTO Selection:

David O'Meara has a fine record with his French recruits and STRESSFREE has been knocking on the door since joining the yard. His most recent second at Ayr hinted that a return to winning ways could be near, and this looks like an ideal opportunity. Ectocross, a winner of two of his last four starts, looks best placed to chase him home, while Unplugged rarely runs a bad race and is another to consider.

STRESSFREE has made an encouraging start for David O'Meara, pulling clear of the remainder when runner-up at Ayr 8 days ago, and he can build on that to go one better. The main danger could be Ectocross, who arrives on the back of a recent C&D success, with Unplugged completing the shortlist.

Stressfree will probably not have to wait much longer for his first British win but ECTOCROSS (nap) looks a rising force.

5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 +0%) Judge Earle	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Judge Earle 12/1, Back in the groove when landing handicap chases at Uttoxeter and Worcester (both over 2½m) in July. However, latest fourth at Perth suggests he's high enough in the weights now. Not at best at Uttoxeter last month but has claims if judged on summer chase form.

LTO Selection:

BACK ON THE LASH faced some stiff assignments in the Cross Country and Grand National after winning at Cheltenham in January and the nine-year-old could regain the winning thread in these calmer waters. Quick Draw likely has more to offer under the tutelage of Nicky Henderson and also enters calculations, while a wind procedure may have unlocked some improvement from the C&D winner Le Cameleon.

BACK ON THE LASH is back down in class and on a winning mark ahead of his return so can make it 4 wins from 4 at this track. C&D winner Le Cameleon won on his reappearance last season so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Quick Draw.

This might go to LE CAMELEON, who won when fresh and over C&D last season.

Claims off same mark but wouldn't want too much rain. Back on track when second at Kelso 29 days ago; he can go well again off an unchanged mark.

LTO Selection:

An impressive winner on his first start for this yard over C&D last week, RESTANDBETHANKFUL should be open to plenty more improvement and a 7lb penalty looks manageable. Getaway Jewel bounced back to form with a runner-up effort at Kelso recently and he also looks to be a leading contender, along with Moore Clouds, who broke her maiden in comfortable fashion at Market Rasen when last seen.

RESTANDBETHANKFUL went with plenty of zest when scoring on debut for Lizzie Quinlan here last week and may be able to follow up. Gandhi Maker rates the principal danger.

The vote goes to MOORE CLOUDS who is still low mileage in this sphere and, after a break, can build on her Market Rasen maiden victory.

Info	Form	Odds
8	8 (8) (50/1 -25%) Remember'hesmine	50 50/1(-25%)	(8) Remember'hesmine 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Tenth of 16 in bumper at this course (16.4f, good to soft, 100/1) on NH debut 169 days ago. Plenty keen when midfield on C&D debut at the festival; may need more time.
1	2 1st (2) (0.91/1 +0%) My Great Mate	0.91 0.91/1(+0%)	(2) My Great Mate 0.91/1, Improve from debut when won 14-runner bumper at Galway (16.6f, soft) 72 days ago. Sets the standard and could step up again, so leading claims. Galway win franked since by the runner-up; should progress, especially if settling better.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.75/1 -10%) Fleur In The Park	2.75 2.75/1(-10%)	(1) Fleur In The Park 2.75/1, Won 8-runner bumper at Roscommon (15.9f, soft, 13/8) on NH debut 16 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Open to improvement and likely to feature. Good attitude to win on Roscommon debut, stiffer stamina test will suit.
3	5 3rd (5) (18/1 -13%) Killultagh Fox	18 18/1(-13%)	(5) Killultagh Fox 18/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam (h119), 2½m hurdle winner (stayed 3m), half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 3m) Killultagh Vic. Out of half-sister to Killultagh Vic; debutant probably best watched.
4	11 4th (11) (40/1 +20%) Spotthedifference	40 40/1(+20%)	(11) Spotthedifference 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 20¼ lengths eighth of 14 to My Great Mate in bumper (100/1) at Galway (16.6f, soft) on NH debut 72 days ago. 20l off My Great Mate on debut at Galway over the summer; unlikely to overturn that form.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/2 -10%) Beauforts Storm	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(3) Beauforts Storm 11/2, Winner in bumper at Cork in July. 11/2, fourth of 12 in bumper at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Should be on the premises. Gold-plated place claims, needs to improve to play major role.
6th	4 6th (4) (18/1 +18%) Gold Fever	18 18/1(+18%)	(4) Gold Fever 18/1, Galileo Gold gelding. Half-brother to 7f winner abroad Karlon. Dam unraced. Should have the speed for this sort of test, so not one to rule out. Flat-bred probably best watched on bumper debut unless market indicates otherwise.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 +52%) Power Factor	12 12/1(+52%)	(7) Power Factor 12/1, Silvano gelding. Brother to 7f-9f winner Platinum Sky and half-brother multiple 6f-1m winner Princess Calla. Dam also multiple winner on Flat in South Africa. Worth a market check. Cheaply bought but quite well-related South African bred; market best guide on debut.
8th	12 8th (12) (50/1 -52%) Bigira	50 50/1(-52%)	(12) Bigira 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 14 in bumper at Tipperary (16f, good to soft, 22/1) 97 days ago. Encouraging Roscommon debut but well held on quicker ground at Tipperary.
9th	6 9th (6) (200/1 -33%) Paymelater	200 200/1(-33%)	(6) Paymelater 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in bumper (40/1) at Sligo (18.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 49 days ago. Too keen when tailed off on Sligo debut; can only be watched.
10th	9 10th (9) (150/1 +0%) Silent Dawn	150 150/1(+0%)	(9) Silent Dawn 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 16 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Roscommon (16.2f, good) on NH debut 121 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. Tailed off when a 33-1 shot at Roscommon in June on debut and hard to recommend.
11th	10 11th (10) (16/1 +84%) Splendid Choice	16 16/1(+84%)	(10) Splendid Choice 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, thirteenth of 24 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft). Off 6 months. Makes bumpers debut. Two runs in maiden hurdles last season poor; can only be watched now returning in a bumper.

LTO Selection:

MY GREAT MATE travelled well to win on testing ground at Galway which will stand him in good stead for this assignment. The horse he beat into second came out and took a Fairyhouse bumper last Saturday. This grey gelding is a half-brother to a Grade 1 winning hurdler and should have a bright future. Fleur In The Park rewarded plenty of support on debut at Roscommon last month and looks a nice prospect. He went off favourite and stuck to his task well to get up in the closing stages. Jockey Adam Ryan's 7lb claim is a bonus in bumpers. Beauforts Storm won a Cork bumper in July, but probably wasn't at her best when beaten into fourth when last seen in Down Royal. She has a part to play, though.

MY GREAT MATE stepped forward from his debut to open his account at the second attempt at Galway 72 days ago and, with the scope for better still, he's preferred to Fleur In The Park, who arrives on the back of an impressive success first time out. Beauforts Storm is best of the remainder.

The three previous winners look set to dominate, MY GREAT MATE holding the strongest form credentials

10th	7 10th (7) (200/1 -100%) Law Of Average	200 200/1(-100%)	(7) Law Of Average 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, eighth of 11 in novice event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago, not knocked about. Minor form over sprint distances.

LTO Selection:

The penny dropped late for IMPERIAL GUARD on his debut over C&D last month and the way he finished his race was eye-catching and pointed to future success. This is a winnable contest and he gets the nod ahead of the costly Important Role, who may put up most resistance following a mediocre debut when favourite over C&D in August. Of the newcomers, Claxton Bay stands out as a half-brother to Tacarib Bay.

IMPERIAL GUARD's debut third over C&D 3 weeks ago was full of promise, and with improvement almost assured, he will take some stopping. Important Role will surely know more this time and is a threat, while Zoum Zoum and Claxton Bay are interesting newcomers.

LTO Selection:

LHEBAYEB has been in excellent form of late and dropping in trip shouldn't inconvenience her as she bids to make it three wins from her last four starts. Victor Dartnall's mare is narrowly preferred to Leicester runner-up Fillyfudge and Swing To The Stars, who has been running creditably of late without getting her head in front. Keep an eye on Kentucky Kingdom too.

SWING TO THE STARS seems to be building up to something, doing well to finish second at Brighton last month, so she could be the answer. Fillyfudge and Corsican Caper head the dangers.

The in-form FILLYFUDGE is taken to go one better than when runner-up at Leicester last month. Lhebayeb is next on the list.

Out of a bumper winner who has produced three bumper winners; tailed off on debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (66/1 -32%) Moon Royale	66 66/1(-32%)	(4) Moon Royale 66/1, Hasn't shown much to date and looks set for another struggle. Well beaten in two Stratford bumpers during the summer and difficult to enthuse over.

LTO Selection:

Miss Applejack came good at the second time of asking when just holding on over C&D in May and is sure to prove popular, but she may be worth taking on now shouldering a 7lb penalty. Debutant TOO MUCH HAMMER, a half-brother to the bumper winner Fire Away, possesses enough speed in his pedigree to suggest that he can land a race of this nature and gets the vote. Bobby's Fortune makes most appeal of the remainder.

TOO MUCH HAMMER is related to a useful chaser and his stable often have their representatives ready to go in this sphere, so he gets the marginal vote over Miss Applejack, who narrowly opened her account when last seen. Dante's Inferno is another notable newcomer.

Too Much Hammer and Miss Applejack are interesting newcomers but course winner MISS APPLEJACK gets the vote.

LTO Selection:

The Lucinda Russell yard can do little wrong at present and the Kenny Alexander-owned BACKDOORFLUSH could be a nice recruit as she makes her debut. The four-year-old's dam won on her racecourse bow herself, which bodes well and she gets the vote ahead of the impressive Cheltenham winner Micks Jet, who has a 7lb penalty to overcome. Listentoyourheart is another to consider for a stable that knows how to ready one first time out.

BACKDOORFLUSH is bred to go well in this sphere and she represents an in-form yard, so a chance is taken on her to get the better of Micks Jet who, admittedly, sets a good standard on his impressive Cheltenham success five months ago. Listentoyourheart is another one to note on debut.

An interesting bumper. MICKS JET looked a decidedly nice prospect in coming home in isolation at Cheltenham back in the spring.

LTO Selection:

MIDDLESEX took a step forward from her debut effort at Wolverhampton to finish second at Beverley over an extended mile, with Satay Street (sixth) behind. With normal progression, the daughter of Territories could prove hard to beat under William Buick. Happy Place only went down to a warm favourite at Brighton last month and has to be considered, while Tamfana could have a say after her third at Ffos Las.

TAMFANA produced a promising first effort when third at Ffos Las and should be well up to winning a maiden. Middlesex and Green Sigma both progressed from their debut and are feared most.

3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 +22%) Rosenzoo	7 7/1(+22%)	(7) Rosenzoo 7/1, Winner over C&D in September. Sixth of 7 in nursery (7/4) at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago. May have found that race coming too soon and he remains of interest.
4	1 4th (1) (5/2 +25%) Mafnood	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(1) Mafnood 5/2, Improved a chunk when winning on third start at Haydock in August. Good second of 7 in nursery at Doncaster (7f, good to soft, 3/1) 27 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Getting better with each recent run and mark looks very fair.
5th	2 5th (2) (15/2 -36%) How's The Guvnor	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(2) How's The Guvnor 15/2, Maiden winner at Doncaster. Tenth of 15 in novice event at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 11/1) 46 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Makes polytrack/handicap debut.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 +40%) Savvy Warrior	12 12/1(+40%)	(8) Savvy Warrior 12/1, Seventh of 10 in maiden at Doncaster (8f, good to soft, 18/1) 25 days ago. Makes handicap debut.
7th	6 7th (6) (7/1 +18%) Sahara Kitten	7 7/1(+18%)	(6) Sahara Kitten 7/1, Winner at Epsom in July. 4/1, creditable second of 7 in nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 18 days ago. Leve looks pretty well established.

LTO Selection:

Mafnood showed up well on his nursery debut over 7f at Doncaster last month and he could appreciate this step back up in distance off a 2lb higher mark. However, preference is for SAHARA KITTEN, who has hit the crossbar on each of his two nursery starts and he ought to go close off the same mark as last time at Wolverhampton. Royal Supremacy should be monitored in the betting on his nursery bow.

The Haydock race MAFNOOD won in August worked out well and his subsequent excellent effort at Doncaster suggests he's capable of successfully giving weight all round here. C&D winner Rosenzoo has been given a short break and he's feared most, with L'Ennemi perhaps the pick of the nursey debutants.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	12 1st (12) (3/1 -9%) Port Erin	3 3/1(-9%)	(12) Port Erin 3/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Ffos Las in August. Ran up to best when second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 9/2) 8 days ago, having run of race. Not taken lightly. Has form figures of 1132 since handicapping, largely under front-running tactics.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +50%) Lordsbridge Girl	4 4/1(+50%)	(5) Lordsbridge Girl 4/1, C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 15 days ago, not knocked about. Each-way claims. Has form figures of 212 in C&D handicaps, neck second on most recent occasion.
3	3 3rd (3) (33/1 -65%) Trais Fluors	33 33/1(-65%)	(3) Trais Fluors 33/1, 18/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 27 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Modest strike-rate on turf in Britain; 2-4 on AW when trained in France.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 +42%) Last Hoorah	7 7/1(+42%)	(2) Last Hoorah 7/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 5/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 39 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Has bits of respectable AW form this term, including over C&D (second of 14) in June.
5th	11 5th (11) (8/1 +27%) King Of The Dance	8 8/1(+27%)	(11) King Of The Dance 8/1, Winner at Lingfield in September. 15/2, bit below form fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago. Warrants respect. Respectable results since fitted with cheekpieces, winning at Lingfield then fourth here.
6th	4 6th (4) (18/1 -100%) Cliffs Of Capri	18 18/1(-100%)	(4) Cliffs Of Capri 18/1, Course winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2020. Bit below form fourth of 15 in minor event at Doncaster (8f, good, 11/1) 24 days ago. Has work to do. Respectable fourth in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster; no win since 2020.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/4 +39%) Sherood	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(6) Sherood 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden who took a step forward when third of 9 on handicap debut at Newmarket (8f, good) 74 days ago. Likely more to come yet. Maiden/novice form has substance; ran creditably in handicap last time; still unexposed.
8th	7 8th (7) (33/1 -230%) Give A Little Back	33 33/1(-230%)	(7) Give A Little Back 33/1, Creditable second of 8 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D, running on. Off 91 days. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Went close over C&D when last seen three months ago; strike-rate is just 1-19.
9th	14 9th (14) (14/1 +13%) Enola Grey	14 14/1(+13%)	(14) Enola Grey 14/1, Upped her game in recent starts, latest when second of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 13 days ago, clear of rest. Remains on a workable mark and is one for shortlist. Runner-up at this course and Southwell since returned to AW; not dismissed.
10th	8 10th (8) (80/1 -567%) Nasim	80 80/1(-567%)	(8) Nasim 80/1, 6/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 48 days ago, very slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Michael Appleby. Others more persuasive. Ran well at Chelmsford last time; sold out of Mick Appleby's yard for 7,000gns since.
11th	13 11th (13) (18/1 +10%) Taritino	18 18/1(+10%)	(13) Taritino 18/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, creditable eighth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good) 4 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Others more appealing. Chance largely depends on how well he responds to new headgear.
12th	1 12th (1) (28/1 -56%) Hamnet	28 28/1(-56%)	(1) Hamnet 28/1, Thirteenth of 17 in handicap at Compiegne (8f, good, 55/10). Off 138 days. First run for yard after leaving A. Fabre. Wears tongue strap. Gelded since last seen. Market check advised on UK debut. 0-5 in France for Andre Fabre; sold for 27,000gns since last run; market can guide.
13th	10 13th (10) (66/1 -313%) Bobby Dassler	66 66/1(-313%)	(10) Bobby Dassler 66/1, Winner at Nottingham in May. First run since leaving Tom Ward when respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 27 days ago, doing too much too soon. Not out of things. Nicely treated on best turf form but has something to prove back on AW.

LTO Selection:

SHEROOD hit the frame on his handicap bow at Newmarket off this rating when last seen in July and he has Oisin Murphy booked on his return to action. The son of Night Of Thunder could have plenty more to come and he looks the one to be with. The main danger is Cliffs Of Capri, who ran well in fourth at Doncaster last month and has to be considered back in handicap company. Of the remainder, Nasim makes the most appeal.

Preference is for SHEROOD, who ran well on his Newmarket handicap bow last time and still has few miles on the clock. Enola Grey and Port Erin can also make their presence felt.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (7/1 +42%) Bohemian Breeze	7 7/1(+42%)	(9) Bohemian Breeze 7/1, Winner at Ayr (1¼m) in August. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this course (11f) 14 days ago. Creditable third over 1m3f here last time; place possibilities.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/1 +33%) Ithaca's Arrow	6 6/1(+33%)	(7) Ithaca's Arrow 6/1, Won a novice over this trip on Lingfield's AW in the spring. Creditable third of 11 in handicap back at Lingfield (1¼m, AW) 15 days ago, running on. Placed over 1m2f the last twice; sole win came at 1m4f; possibilities.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/1 -25%) Mount Olympus	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Mount Olympus 5/1, Temperamental for Eve Johnson Houghton but has thrived for the switch to Alan King, making it 3 wins in 4 starts for his new yard when seeing off 11 rivals at Goodwood (11f) 36 days ago. A further 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Has a record of 3-4 for new yard, including a C&D success; open to further progress.
4	4 4th (4) (33/1 +34%) Renardeau	33 33/1(+34%)	(4) Renardeau 33/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. 20/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (2m, AW) 35 days ago. Back down in trip. Consistent efforts on AW this year but hasn't scored on Flat since 2020.
5th	8 5th (8) (10/1 +38%) Sea Me Dance	10 10/1(+38%)	(8) Sea Me Dance 10/1, C&D winner in July. 20/1, respectable sixth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Has work to do from the outside stall. Could go well off a reduced mark; July win came over C&D.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 +0%) Pledge Of Honour	14 14/1(+0%)	(2) Pledge Of Honour 14/1, In good form at the start of the summer and has had excuses for some of his recent defeats. Dropped another 3 lb for last time. Has done all his winning over 1m2f on turf; opposed in this scenario.
7th	6 7th (6) (18/1 +18%) Eagle One	18 18/1(+18%)	(6) Eagle One 18/1, 14/1, 13¼ lengths tenth of 12 to Mount Olympus in handicap at Goodwood (11f, good to firm) 36 days ago but had been a good second on AW on his yard debut prior to that. Well behind Mount Olympus last time but is normally consistent.
8th	10 8th (10) (9/2 -29%) Glorious Lion	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(10) Glorious Lion 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/2 and cheekpieces on first time, very good third of 8 in handicap at Redcar (1¼m, heavy) in April. Retains potential back from a break. Made an encouraging handicap debut at Redcar when last seen; interesting.
9th	14 9th (14) (9/2 +82%) Fravanco	4.5 9/2(+82%)	(14) Fravanco 9/2, Winner at Lingfield in July. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (11f) 19 days ago. Won at Lingfield on handicap debut; no further progress since.
10th	1 10th (1) (22/1 -10%) Morlaix	22 22/1(-10%)	(1) Morlaix 22/1, Fairly useful sort who was entitled to have needed his recent comeback outing at Wolverhampton after 18 months off. This should reveal more. Still needs to prove he retains all ability but market support should be heeded.
11th	12 11th (12) (25/1 -79%) Star Of Sussex	25 25/1(-79%)	(12) Star Of Sussex 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good, 9/1) 90 days ago. Needs to improve for the significantly longer trip. Peak effort came on sole AW attempt but his overall profile is not solid.
12th	11 12th (11) (17/2 -183%) Barrier	8.5 17/2(-183%)	(11) Barrier 17/2, Reacted well to cheekpieces when an improved second of 6 on 1¼m Goodwood handicap debut in June. Returns from 4 months off as an unexposed sort who may have more to offer. Bold show likely under Buick. Solid second, splitting subsequent scorers, at Goodwood (handicap debut) last time out.

LTO Selection:

The in-form MOUNT OLYMPUS won for the third time from his last four starts at Goodwood a month ago and the five-year-old is hard to oppose off just a 4lb higher mark here. Barrier is unexposed and has to be of some interest on her return to action, while Ithaca's Arrow and Glorious Lion are others who are capable of going well.

Unexposed 3-y-os BARRIER and Glorious Lion look interesting back from breaks, with the former narrowly preferred. The thriving Mount Olympus is another must for the shortlist in a good race for the grade.

1	11 1st (11) (4/1 +60%) Al Ameen	4 4/1(+60%)	(11) Al Ameen 4/1, Good second of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 13/2), slowly away. Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving George Boughey. Worth a market check returning from lengthy absence. Absent since last October but in good form back then; could be in shake-up on stable debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/1 -38%) Treacherous	9 9/1(-38%)	(1) Treacherous 9/1, 5-time C&D winner. 22/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 41 days ago. Had been in good order prior to that, so may well bounce back. Recent form has been mixed but he's won here seven times and has to be respected.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 +27%) Dark Side Thunder	4 4/1(+27%)	(4) Dark Side Thunder 4/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in April. Creditable second of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago, running on. Respected. 2-2 here and returned from a break with close second at Yarmouth; ticks lots of boxes.
4	12 4th (12) (33/1 -65%) Ithra	33 33/1(-65%)	(12) Ithra 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 3 in handicap (9/1) at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft) 56 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes. Very hard to make a case for. 0-4 and mixed form for Alice Haynes but drop back to sprint trip could suit on yard debut.
5th	9 5th (9) (17/2 +15%) Grenham Bay	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(9) Grenham Bay 17/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Salisbury in May. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 20/1) 57 days ago. Has work to do. Won two in a row in the spring but he's been well below his best the last twice.
6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 -10%) Tartan Skirt	22 22/1(-10%)	(3) Tartan Skirt 22/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm). Off 106 days. First run for yard after leaving David O'Meara. Check the betting on stable debut but she's struggled on both runs this year.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/4 +31%) Nogo's Dream	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(6) Nogo's Dream 11/4, 16/5, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago. Should be thereabouts once more. 0-10 in handicaps but placed the last twice and a win may well be imminent.
8th	10 8th (10) (14/1 -56%) Starproof	14 14/1(-56%)	(10) Starproof 14/1, Latest win at Ffos Las in August. 28/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. Two wins in the summer and good third at Wolverhampton last time; can be involved.
9th	5 9th (5) (11/2 +21%) Golden Duke	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(5) Golden Duke 11/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in June. Very good second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 11/1) 12 days ago. Worth a chance to go one better. Won over C&D on sole course visit and close second at Newcastle recently; unexposed on AW.
10th	8 10th (8) (50/1 -400%) Inanna	50 50/1(-400%)	(8) Inanna 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, second of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago. On a fair mark but not guaranteed to back up latest effort given her overall profile. Back to form when going close at Yarmouth three weeks ago on first crack at a sprint trip.
11th	2 11th (2) (40/1 -150%) Cooperation	40 40/1(-150%)	(2) Cooperation 40/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good, 4/1) 46 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Mike Murphy & Michael Keady. Hood back on. Something to prove. Well handicapped on form this May/June but below par on last few runs; makes stable debut.

LTO Selection:

DARK SIDE THUNDER has won his last two starts on the all-weather and his most recent efforts on turf suggest that he could be hard to stop now back on a synthetic surface. Inanna hit the crossbar at Yarmouth three weeks ago and is likely to be in the mix once again, while similar comments apply to Nogo's Dream and Golden Duke.

GOLDEN DUKE bounced back to form returned to AW when second at Newcastle 12 days ago and he's a tentative choice to go one better in an open-looking race. Nogo's Dream and Dark Side Thunder are both dangers.

2	10 2nd (10) (10/3 +45%) No News	3.333333 10/3(+45%)	(10) No News 10/3, 7/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Claims if building on that. 0-14; appreciated the strong pace up front when a close fifth here last week over 6f.
3	11 3rd (11) (11/2 +35%) Purple Poppy	5.5 11/2(+35%)	(11) Purple Poppy 11/2, One win from 21 Flat runs. Winner at Lingfield in April. Put previous poor run behind her when creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, 13/2) 32 days ago. One of likelier contenders. Returns to what's probably her best trip but she's not well drawn.
4	2 4th (2) (15/8 +46%) Magicinthemaking	1.875 15/8(+46%)	(2) Magicinthemaking 15/8, Three-time C&D winner who posted good second of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, 10/1) 7 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently.

5th	12 5th (12) (10/1 -82%) White Mist	10 10/1(-82%)	(12) White Mist 10/1, Still looking for first success but posted best effort yet when close second of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and ought to go well again.

6th	3 6th (3) (18/1 -50%) Outreach	18 18/1(-50%)	(3) Outreach 18/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Needs a couple of these to falter. Has ability but 0-8 and whether stepping up to 7f will help matters remains to be seen.
7th	8 7th (8) (13/2 +19%) Romanovich	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(8) Romanovich 13/2, Winner at Chepstow in May. 10/3, seventh of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm). Off 117 days. Looks competitive on form. 7f winner off a similar mark; absence is a worry and he has a bit to prove on the AW.

11th	6 11th (6) (125/1 -317%) Optimal Sinn	125 125/1(-317%)	(6) Optimal Sinn 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in minor event (250/1) at this course (8f) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Work to do on handicap debut. Goes handicapping in first-time cheekpieces but with plenty to prove.
12th	13 12th (13) (50/1 -213%) Carry On Aitch	50 50/1(-213%)	(13) Carry On Aitch 50/1, Winner at Windsor in June. 150/1, third of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 20 days ago. Others preferred. 5f winner; never far away when placed over this far at Chelmsford latest.

14th	1 14th (1) (200/1 -567%) Withy Rock	200 200/1(-567%)	(1) Withy Rock 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 6 in maiden (300/1) at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft) 27 days ago. Improvement required on handicap debut. Only fourth of six in a weak maiden last time; might be on a tough mark.

LTO Selection:

MAGICINTHEMAKING was only beaten a head into second over 6f here a week ago and the step back up in trip can see this former C&D winner go one better off the same mark. White Mist was also narrowly denied on her most recent outing and she could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Carry On Aitch and Purple Poppy.

MAGICINTHEMAKING ran a cracker on her return from 5 months off here last week and looks poised to return to winning ways. White Mist and Purple Poppy head the list of dangers.

About U.K Horse Racing

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

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

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

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

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

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