1	7 1st (7) (17/2 +39%) Our Uncle Jack		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(7) Our Uncle Jack 17/2, Poor hurdler. Fourth of 12 in novice hurdle (125/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 10 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Fair bumper form last year; respectable, albeit remote, fourth on hurdling debut last week.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/1 +8%) Grasshopper Time		6 6/1(+8%)																															(5) Grasshopper Time 6/1, 80/1, sixth of 17 in novice hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) on hurdles bow 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Promise in first bumper and on hurdling bow when just behind Grandpa Ger at Gowran.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/2 +46%) Blue In The West		3.5 7/2(+46%)																															(1) Blue In The West 7/2, Fair hurdler. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Galway (22.2f, soft) 31 days ago, dropping away approaching 2 out. Back down in trip and of interest on his effort here prior to that. Point winner ran well off 95 in course h'cap over farther; ground possibly too soft latest.
4	6 4th (6) (11/8 +39%) Ivar The Boneless		1.375 11/8(+39%)																															(6) Ivar The Boneless 11/8, Fair chaser. Fourth of 9 in novice chase at Pau (16.9f, heavy, 73/10). Off 22 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving H&G.Lageneste & Macaire and he looks the one to beat. Three starts in France as 3yo; finished fourth over hurdles and over fences; respected.
5th	4 5th (4) (15/2 -88%) Granpa Ger		7.5 15/2(-88%)																															(4) Granpa Ger 15/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 17 in novice hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Beaten 25l last twice; chance at this level after creditable run on heavy at Gowran (2m4f).
6th	8 6th (8) (66/1 -100%) Lake Manzaleh		66 66/1(-100%)																															(8) Lake Manzaleh 66/1, 80/1, fifth of 8 in bumper at Kilbeggan (19f, good) 34 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Godolphin cast-off; pair of 37l defeats the best he could manage in bumpers; hurdles debut.
7th	2 7th (2) (200/1 -300%) Didyouseethelight		200 200/1(-300%)																															(2) Didyouseethelight 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 300/1, thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 150 days ago. Nothing so far at huge prices.
8th	9 8th (9) (28/1 -100%) Ladybela		28 28/1(-100%)																															(9) Ladybela 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Eighth of 17 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 150/1) 22 days ago. Much better effort on second try over hurdles when mid-field, beaten 17l, at Listowel.
3	3 |PU| (3) (7/1 -17%) Farewellchancer		7 7/1(-17%)																															(3) Farewellchancer 7/1, Creditable fifth of 9 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.7f, good, 50/1) 45 days ago. Back down in trip. Modest form but last two maiden runs give him a chance in this company; cuts back in trip.

LTO Selection:

A weak affair with GRANPA GER the suggestion. Out of five-time winner Clarach, the Tony Mullins-trained bay has improved with each run thus far and gave it a good go from the front at Gowran most recently. He eventually finished fifth at the Co Kilkenny venue, half-a-length in front of the reopposing Grasshopper Time. This Roger McGrath-trained five-year-old came from off the pace at Gowran and if more prominent tactics are deployed now he should go close. Gordon Elliott is represented by Farewellchancer and while clearly not one of the leading lights at Cullentra, he should be able to make his presence felt in a contest of this quality. A close fifth on his penultimate start, Blue In The West warrants respect, while Our Uncle Jack and newcomer Ivar The Boneless are others to consider.

IVAR THE BONELESS has a near 2-year absence to overcome but he's in good hands and if he can get close to his French form, he will take some stopping. Blue In The West must cast aside a heavy defeat at Galway but is a definite threat if doing so.

Tricky but at least BLUE IN THE WEST ran to his mark, and handled the track, when running well in a handicap here and this trip may suit

2	2 (2) (13/8 +28%) Frankendael		1.625 13/8(+28%)																															(2) Frankendael 13/8, First run since leaving Tim Easterby when 6/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Beverley (9.9f, heavy) 22 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Won with something to spare on heavy ground on stable debut at Beverley three weeks ago.
1	1 1st (1) (9/2 +59%) Bashful		4.5 9/2(+59%)																															(1) Bashful 9/2, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in July. 17/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 9 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Seems to have gone off the boil. Didn't run badly in higher grade over C&D last week but needs to raise his game.
2	7 2nd (7) (17/2 +15%) Ayr Poet		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(7) Ayr Poet 17/2, 5-time course winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win here in September. 5/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 9 days ago, first home in group. Leading claims. Consistent five-time course winner who ran well over C&D recently and can be thereabouts.
3	13 3rd (13) (20/1 -67%) Stockbridge Tap		20 20/1(-67%)																															(13) Stockbridge Tap 20/1, 15/2, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, soft) 68 days ago. Can make presence felt. Encouraging run in August on second start back from long absence; one to consider.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 -57%) Kentucky Bluegrass		11 11/1(-57%)																															(5) Kentucky Bluegrass 11/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in June. 11/4, fourth of 6 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Respected. The dam's side of this 3yo's pedigree suggests the step up to 1m2f is worth a go.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 +9%) Bushfire		10 10/1(+9%)																															(4) Bushfire 10/1, Latest win at Southwell in September. Eighth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Newcastle (8f) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. Could be back on his game. Disappointing last time but in good form previously & can make a bold bid if bouncing back.
6th	3 6th (3) (15/2 +25%) Tilsitt		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(3) Tilsitt 15/2, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 7/1) 9 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Not discounted. Three-time course winner who was fair fourth in higher grade over C&D last week.
7th	12 7th (12) (8/1 +50%) Mac Ailey		8 8/1(+50%)																															(12) Mac Ailey 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Hamilton in September. 3/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 10 days ago. Back up in trip. Beaten at Hamilton latest and new 6lb higher mark has kicked in, but won easily previously.
8th	8 8th (8) (18/1 -13%) Nobody Told Me		18 18/1(-13%)																															(8) Nobody Told Me 18/1, 28/1 and blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap at York (16.2f, soft) 19 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Has work to do. Drops back in trip but nevertheless has plenty to prove based on that recent evidence.
9th	6 9th (6) (33/1 -106%) Sophiesticate		33 33/1(-106%)																															(6) Sophiesticate 33/1, C&D winner. Last of 5 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft, 28/1) 10 days ago, flattered by proximity. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Runs off her last winning mark but she's finished down the field the last twice.
10th	9 10th (9) (25/1 -178%) Lunacy		25 25/1(-178%)																															(9) Lunacy 25/1, Latest win at Hamilton in September. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, soft, 9/4) 10 days ago. Might have found the race coming too soon last time, but faces another quick turnaround. Inconsistent and well beaten last time, but easy win two starts ago and not written off.
11th	11 11th (11) (200/1 -150%) Maraakiz		200 200/1(-150%)																															(11) Maraakiz 200/1, 80/1, first run since leaving Linda Perratt when last of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Plenty to prove. Tailed off on both runs this summer after long absence and same story on recent yard debut.
12th	10 12th (10) (20/1 -25%) Kristal Klear		20 20/1(-25%)																															(10) Kristal Klear 20/1, 12/1, last of 7 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, soft) 27 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others preferred. Form has gone the wrong way and the first-time visor needs to prompt a dramatic turnaround.

LTO Selection:

---

Jim Goldie has two good chances but five-time course winner AYR POET looks the best hope based on his proven effectiveness on this circuit. Amie Waugh's 3lb claim is a boost for the eight-year-old and further success could be imminent. There are dangers aplenty, though, and the likes of Kentucky Bluegrass, recent Beverley winner Frankendael and the first-time visored Tilsitt are all capable of making sure this is a typically competitive apprentice riders contest. The selection's stablemate, Sophiesticate, is dangerous to underestimate, too.

FRANKENDAEL upped his game immediately for his new stable at Beverley 22 days ago and there's likely more to come, so he gets the nod ahead of Ayr Poet and Kentucky Bluegrass.

Having won with something to spare on heavy ground at Beverley three weeks ago on stable debut, FRANKENDAEL (nap) can defy a 5lb rise.

1	1 1st (1) (13/8 -35%) Jeudidee		1.625 13/8(-35%)																															(1) Jeudidee 13/8, Bumper winner who created a good impression in making a successful start over hurdles in a first-time tongue strap at this course. Creditable third under a penalty at Uttoxeter 23 days ago and he could resume winning ways in a weak race. Won at Worcester and creditable third at Uttoxeter; the hurdles form pick and should stay.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 -11%) Amalfi Bay		5 5/1(-11%)																															(2) Amalfi Bay 5/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat who went backwards from a mildly promising hurdling debut when sixth in a novice at Worcester four months ago. May yet do better in this sphere. Fair Flat form; made a quite encouraging hurdle debut but flopped next time; had a wind op.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/4 +29%) Post No Bills		1.25 5/4(+29%)																															(5) Post No Bills 5/4, Point winner who has developed into a fair chaser after a quiet start over hurdles, winning at Plumpton recently. Strong claims if he can replicate that form back in this sphere. 2022 hurdles form was not of the same order but excellent chance on 2023 chase form.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 -13%) Go On Ya Goodthing		18 18/1(-13%)																															(7) Go On Ya Goodthing 18/1, Showed something more like his bumper debut form at the second time of asking over hurdles when runner-up at Worcester (2m) last week. Goes up in trip now with plenty more needed. 100-1 second at Worcester (2m, good) on latest start but the form is probably modest.
5th	3 5th (3) (200/1 -60%) Bowmans Dream		200 200/1(-60%)																															(3) Bowmans Dream 200/1, Well held in novice/maiden hurdles and looks firmly up against it again. Low-level form in two hurdle races at Newton Abbot and one at Worcester.
6th	4 6th (4) (200/1 -60%) Getaway Tothe Wood		200 200/1(-60%)																															(4) Getaway Tothe Wood 200/1, No show in 2 completed starts over hurdles at the start of the spring. Showed little in his two hurdle runs in February/March; brought down at the first in May.
6	6 |PU| (6) (14/1 +13%) Ancient Capital		14 14/1(+13%)																															(6) Ancient Capital 14/1, Fair Flat winner. 10/3, last of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (12f, good to soft) 28 days ago, possibly amiss. Hard to make a strong case for on hurdling bow. Player if best Flat form could be transferred to this sphere.

LTO Selection:

---

POST NO BILLS may be winless in six attempts over hurdles but he arrives in top form following a smooth success at Plumpton over fences last month. This looks like a winnable contest and his experience may be too much for Jeudidee, who struggled under a penalty at Uttoxeter but was a good winner prior to that at Worcester. The Anthony Honeyball stable can do little wrong at present and Amalfi Bay could also have a say in proceedings.

JEUDIDEE has the best hurdling form and is fancied to enhance a good strike rate at the likely expense of Post No Bills, who is a big player based on chasing form. Amalfi Bay is the pick of the rest.

Jeudidee is the clear pick on hurdles form but POST NO BILLS (nap) has been going great guns on good ground over fences.

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +11%) Racing Royalty		4 4/1(+11%)																															(2) Racing Royalty 4/1, Won 11-runner handicap at Listowel (7.1f, soft, 11/2) 23 days ago. 4 lb higher mark still leaves him competitive. In good form and got off the mark at Listowel last month; up 4lb but can go well again.
2	6 2nd (6) (16/1 -14%) Nituna		16 16/1(-14%)																															(6) Nituna 16/1, 25/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, heavy) 12 days ago, folding late. Shaped well with a view to this 7f trip. Eight-race maiden who has been running well in defeat on recent starts; dropped 1lb.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 -133%) Whatharm		14 14/1(-133%)																															(1) Whatharm 14/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. Good third of 15 in handicap (11/1) at Gowran (7f, good) 57 days ago. Expected to be bang there eased slightly in grade. Good run when beaten 1l over this trip latest but softer ground unlikely to help.
4	15 4th (15) (11/1 +61%) Tall Story		11 11/1(+61%)																															(15) Tall Story 11/1, Remains a maiden after 29 Flat runs. Good second of 18 in handicap at this course (8f, soft, 25/1) 19 days ago. 0-29; bounced back to form when 2nd here latest but drop to 7f may not help.
5th	14 5th (14) (28/1 +30%) Stop On Red		28 28/1(+30%)																															(14) Stop On Red 28/1, First run since leaving J. G. Coogan when won 9-runner minor event at Catterick (7f, good, 9/1) 43 days ago, driven out. More on his plate here. Gained first turf win in classified stakes at Catterick; likely to find this tougher.
6th	16 6th (16) (17/2 +15%) Lisieux		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(16) Lisieux 17/2, One win from 21 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.6f, heavy, 10/3) 14 days ago. Won on h'cap debut last term; losing run but running well lately; one could fall her way.
7th	17 7th (17) (9/1 +59%) Singe Anglais		9 9/1(+59%)																															(17) Singe Anglais 9/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap (7/1) at Roscommon (7.2f, good to soft) 38 days ago, slowly away. Visor back on. Losing run goes back 2 years; can be slowly away but stayed on well latest; place claims.
8th	5 8th (5) (9/2 +18%) Cnodian		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(5) Cnodian 9/2, 11/1, creditable third of 19 in handicap at this course (6f, soft) 5 days ago. Stable having good spell. Another bold show likely back up in trip. Not beaten far over 6f on Saturday, doing best of those off the pace; big player up at 7f.
9th	20 9th (20) (25/1 +38%) Adhuil		25 25/1(+38%)																															(20) Adhuil 25/1, Thirteenth of 18 in handicap (28/1) at Navan (10f, heavy). Off 6 months. Down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Enters calculations. RESERVE. 0-16; badly out of form when last seen; blinkers on returning from 197 days off; reserve.
10th	4 10th (4) (25/1 +50%) Brown Eagle		25 25/1(+50%)																															(4) Brown Eagle 25/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Respectable eighth of 18 in handicap (20/1) at Galway (8.6f, soft) 72 days ago, travelling better than most. 1-24; ran well in claimer two starts ago; respected back at 7f with good 7lb apprentice on.
11th	10 11th (10) (20/1 -100%) Golden Days		20 20/1(-100%)																															(10) Golden Days 20/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Gowran in July. Bit below form ninth of 18 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to soft, 7/1) 43 days ago. Thwarted in hat-trick bid latest; tough mark but 7f specialist who handles soft.
12th	8 12th (8) (18/1 -13%) Purring Along		18 18/1(-13%)																															(8) Purring Along 18/1, Latest win at Galway in September. 6 lengths seventh of 11 to Racing Royalty in handicap at Listowel (7.1f, soft, 6/1) 23 days ago. Both wins at 7f on testing ground but went up 10lb for latest success and tough mark now.
13th	3 13th (3) (9/1 +82%) Asisaid		9 9/1(+82%)																															(3) Asisaid 9/1, Latest win at Naas in July. 7/1, fourteenth of 18 in handicap at Cork (8f, soft) 16 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals having blown the start. That trait has to be a concern. Back to form when winning 18-runner h'cap in July; disappointing latest; 7f may not help.
14th	13 14th (13) (12/1 -33%) Von Krolock		12 12/1(-33%)																															(13) Von Krolock 12/1, Bit below form 5¼ lengths sixth of 11 to Racing Royalty in handicap at Listowel (7.1f, soft, 9/2) 23 days ago. Stable in good form. 0-15; running well in defeat prior to soft ground run latest; may want it quicker.

Off 162 days. RESERVE. Won twice in 2020 incl' at 7f on soft ground but long losing run; off 162 days; reserve.

LTO Selection:

---

A deeply competitive contest sees plenty of chances in this field, with the tentative selection being LISIEUX. Adrian McGuinness' filly hasn't won since last October, but she has registered successive placed efforts recently and appears likely to mount a bold bid if she gets more luck in running than when third over an extended 7f at Bellewstown last time. Racing Royalty is feared most after a game win over 7f at Listowel, while Whatharm and Cnodian should also be challenging at the line.

WHATHARM produced his most promising turf effort for a while when third at Gowran in August and down slightly in class, he's just about the most appealing option. Racing Royalty got the job done at Listowel 3 weeks ago so is clearly in good order, with Nituna one to consider at longer odds back in trip.

3	3 (3) (8/1 -14%) Galop Du Bosc		8 8/1(-14%)																															(3) Galop Du Bosc 8/1, Lost his form towards the end of last season but has won fresh before and handicapper has given him a chance, so he's not one to write off for a stable that had first winner in a while recently.
1	12 1st (12) (11/1 +21%) Meechlands Magic		11 11/1(+21%)																															(12) Meechlands Magic 11/1, Poor maiden hurdler who never figured at Uttoxeter last time and is quite a long way out of the weights. Easily opposed.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 -33%) Bolintlea		8 8/1(-33%)																															(1) Bolintlea 8/1, Took well to fences and easily landed 7-runner handicap chase at Fakenham in January. Possibly amiss at Ffos Las on next outing but could bounce back after 8 months off.
3	5 3rd (5) (13/2 +19%) Faitque De L'Isle		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(5) Faitque De L'Isle 13/2, Well handicapped on old form and stopped the slide to some extent when third of 4 in handicap at Newton Abbot 20 days ago. Claims if he can build on that.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 -13%) Prince De Juilley		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(2) Prince De Juilley 9/2, Irish point winner who fared a bit better than previously when third in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow 5 months ago. Could up his game now attentions are turned to chasing.
5th	10 5th (10) (25/1 +0%) Newtonian		25 25/1(+0%)																															(10) Newtonian 25/1, Has been showing little recently and is likely to struggle again from out of the weights.
6th	8 6th (8) (10/3 +67%) Methusalar		3.333333 10/3(+67%)																															(8) Methusalar 10/3, Hurdles winner for Alan King (at 19.5f) in spring 2022. Proved disappointing both starts upon returning to action earlier this term and shaped as if needing the run on chasing/stable debut at this course last month. Goes up in trip.
7	7 |PU| (7) (4/1 +38%) Thistlebuffs		4 4/1(+38%)																															(7) Thistlebuffs 4/1, Some potential over hurdles but disappointing chasing debut at Perth on final outing for Lucinda Russell. Worth a market check on first start for new stable.
9	9 |PU| (9) (11/2 +21%) Kapitaliste		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(9) Kapitaliste 11/2, Modest handicap hurdler who wasn't disgraced when third at Newton Abbot last time. Unexposed as a chaser and can't be ruled out.
6	6 |PU| (6) (11/1 +21%) Freethinker		11 11/1(+21%)																															(6) Freethinker 11/1, Won a couple of times in spring 2022 but only seen out twice since and pulled up on each occasion.

A chance is taken on BOLINTLEA, who won easily over 3m at Fakenham on her penultimate start and, if she bounces back to form following a disappointing Ffos Las effort, this prize appears within her reach. Prince De Juilley is feared most after running into a modest third over hurdles at Ludlow, with the second subsequently franking that form, while Faitque De L'Isle could also have a say.

PRINCE DE JUILLEY only achieved modest form over hurdles but, as an ex-pointer, he's the type to do better in this sphere, so he gets the nod over Bolintlea, who could get back on the up after 8 months off. Kapitaliste is also considered.

It was a fair stable/chasing debut by METHUSALAR here last time, and this longer trip will suit. Faitque De L'Isle is next best.

3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 +42%) Bite That		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(4) Bite That 7/2, C&D winner. Good third of 16 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.8f, good to soft, 17/2) 114 days ago, travelling as well as any. Switches from chase to hurdles. Looks competitive on form. Sole win came over C&D last year; decent chase run last time and a chance.

Latest win in hurdle at Thurles in February. 14/1, good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Back down in trip. One to consider.

LTO Selection:

CRAIC EILE is a token choice in this wide-open contest. While she hasn't managed to win a race in over two years, she is a dual course and distance victor and was a fair sixth on the level here on her penultimate start. Back over flights now and with Darragh Allen claiming a valuable 7lb, the Ken Budds-trained six-year-old should go close. Port Rashid is another that acts well around Tramore, winning twice from seven visits to the seaside venue. He went down by just a length at Ballinrobe on his most recent start and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. Successful here at the August festival, Prince Of Air is sure to have plenty of supporters, while other leading contenders are the Gordon Elliott-trained Be My Hero, course and distance winner Bite That and Wexford victor No Show.

BITE THAT is just 1 lb above the mark off which he scored over C&D last August, and he is appealing on the back of a solid effort over fences at Wexford when last seen. Fellow C&D winner Port Rashid also returned to form on his latest start, hitting the crossbar in a handicap at Ballinrobe, and he is next on the list ahead of Star Official.

Though she has been well beaten over fences on her last two starts, PANA TO MILAN is proven on this ground and can score.

1	6 1st (6) (9/4 +44%) Lava Stream		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(6) Lava Stream 9/4, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, fifth of 7 in minor event at Thirsk (8f, good to soft, 11/1) 41 days ago, keeping on without being given a hard time. Should have more to offer, particularly in handicaps. Has shown ability & might not be far away today, but suspicion she's vulnerable once more.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/5 -50%) Peace Walk		1.2 6/5(-50%)																															(1) Peace Walk 6/5, Never figured on debut in Convivial maiden at York but proved a completely different proposition when running out a comfortable winner of 8-runner Beverley novice (7.4f, heavy) 16 days ago. Step up to 1m promises to suit and sound claims with conditions holding no fears. Won by 4l at Beverley on second start; carries a penalty but nevertheless the one to beat.
3	2 3rd (2) (17/2 -42%) Deimos		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(2) Deimos 17/2, Night of Thunder colt who makes plenty of appeal on paper but ultimately held back by inexperience when sixth of 8 in 7f Thirsk novice on debut in August. Certainly the type to do better. Soundly beaten on debut but this 180,000gns yearling could be a big improver.
4	4 4th (4) (17/2 +39%) Sanks To Flicka		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(4) Sanks To Flicka 17/2, Foaled March 5. 40,000 gns yearling, Cracksman colt. Closely related to useful winner up to 7.4f Evocative Spark. Dam twice-raced, half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Emperor Claudius. Trainer had a productive August/September but is having a quiet year with his 2yos.
5th	3 5th (3) (6/1 +29%) Grey Nyle		6 6/1(+29%)																															(3) Grey Nyle 6/1, Foaled February 9. Frankel colt. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner) who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Stellar Path. Makes appeal on paper and interesting what the betting makes of him with yard also saddling Peace Walk. Well-bred Frankel newcomer; trainer also runs Beverley winner Peace Walk; check betting.
6th	5 6th (5) (150/1 -127%) Tommy's Promise		150 150/1(-127%)																															(5) Tommy's Promise 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 9 in minor event (66/1) at this C&D (good to soft) on debut 21 days ago. 66-1, tailed off on recent debut over C&D (good to soft).

LTO Selection:

---

PEACE WALK showed major improvement from first to second start when scoring comfortably at Beverley last month, and the slight rise in distance should not inconvenience as he looks to overcome a 7lb penalty. Lava Stream seemed to be getting the hang of things late on when fifth at Thirsk and he must enter calculations, along with Deimos, who wasn't disgraced on his racecourse bow for a stable in excellent form.

PEACE WALK left his debut effort in his wake when running out an authoritative winner of a Beverley novice 16 days ago, relishing the underfoot conditions in the process. Open to further improvement, he can concede weight all round and follow up. Deimos and Lava Stream head up the dangers.

The Charlie Johnston-trained PEACE WALK won by 4l on soft ground at Beverley on his second start and he's taken to defy a penalty.

1	2 1st (2) (11/10 +33%) Opening Bid		1.1 11/10(+33%)																															(2) Opening Bid 11/10, Opened his account over fences at Worcester in May and hasn't looked back since, winning 3 of next 4 starts, including at Newton Abbot last month, jumping fluently. Another sound second at Warwick a week ago and he's sure to give it another good go. Beaten off career-high mark last time but he's enjoying a very solid season.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 +31%) Pink Eyed Pedro		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(3) Pink Eyed Pedro 11/4, Fairly useful handicap chaser who ended a long losing run after a year off in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell in June. Not seen to best effect when mid-field at Market Rasen the following month and the assessor has given him a major chance returned to fences. Has done well over hurdles since returning from a year out and he's a superior chaser.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 -20%) Romanor		6 6/1(-20%)																															(5) Romanor 6/1, Dropped below last winning mark but increasingly looks like one who needs everything to drop right given how he's ridden. Others more persuasive. Hasn't been at his best this season and he finished well behind at Warwick last time.
4	4 |F| (4) (9/2 +25%) Kauto The King		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(4) Kauto The King 9/2, Returned to form (on back of second wind operation) when taking 4-runner handicap chase at Newton Abbot (16.3f) last month. That wasn't a strong race and he was brushed aside at Worcester last time. Multiple winner but hard to predict and latest effort was underwhelming.

LTO Selection:

---

A winner of four of his last six starts throughout the summer months, OPENING BID sets the standard on form and conditions should be in his favour once more as he looks to continue that terrific run. A determined winner at Newton Abbot over shorter on his penultimate start, Kauto The King is a key player, as well as the veteran Pink Eyed Pedro, who has been plying his trade over the smaller obstacles most recently.

PINK EYED PEDRO is firmly into the veteran stage of his career but he's been given a massive chance by the assessor returned to fences, so he's fancied to cash in. Opening Bid has been in terrific form for some time now so he's the obvious threat.

Most of these struggle with consistency. That's not true of OPENING BID who is having a solid season.

6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 +27%) Zephron		4 4/1(+27%)																															(1) Zephron 4/1, Course winner. Won 18-runner handicap at Cork (8f, soft, 11/2) 16 days ago by ½ length from Breezy Zoff, keeping on well. Claims. Gained first win for over 2 years on testing ground at Cork latest; 6lb rise is fair.

Visor on 1st time. 0-10; low-key yard debut when beaten 15l latest; return to 7f needs to spark revival.

Can race off a 4 lb lower mark now so she's interesting. Won twice in 3 days in Britain earlier in season; form dipped but back on a good mark.
19th	16 19th (16) (22/1 +45%) Miss Molly T		22 22/1(+45%)																															(16) Miss Molly T 22/1, One win from 27 Flat runs. 18/1, 8¾ lengths thirteenth of 18 to Zephron in handicap at Cork (8f, soft) 16 days ago. 7f maiden winner in 2020, her only win in 27 starts; shown little in 3 runs for this yard.

LTO Selection:

---

The form to concentrate on looks to be the recent clash at Cork between Zephron (first) and BREEZY ZOFF (second), where the former seemed to relish the mile when getting on top late in the day. Preference on this occasion is for Gavin Cromwell's charge, who is 3lb better off, should be suited by conditions and was a winner over C&D last October. The third from that contest Swiss Army Officer is a consistent gelding at this level and joins Merisi Diamond on the shortlist.

Plenty are in with a shout. COFFEEMEANSCOFFEE was set too much to do here last time and has now slipped to a handy-looking mark so is taken to capitalise. Zephron and Breezy Zoff fought out a good finish at Cork last month and both enter calculations along with in-form duo Lasting Peace and Blue Peak.

PALLASMORE LASS has been shaping like her turn may be near and she's only gone up 1lb for finishing runner-up last time

RICKETY BRIDGE was a facile winner on her only point-to-point start and this looks the perfect chance to get her head in front at the first time of asking under Rules. The four-year-old looks a good recruit for Paul Nicholls and he can win this before going on to bigger and better things. Newcomer Huckleberry Sting is interesting for the powerful Dan Skelton team, while Wet The Shamrock completes the shortlist.

The market will be informative here with several point recruits to consider but RICKETY BRIDGE has transferred to Paul Nicholls following an easy win between the flags so he's awarded the vote. Huckleberry Sting is another very likely type on paper, with West Warhouse just about the pick of those with previous form.

The newcomers to racing under rules look an interesting bunch and RICKETY BRIDGE is preferred to Wet The Shamrock.

Up in trip. Should improve. Runner-up in summer bumpers at Perth and Cork; fifth against geldings hurdling at Navan.
2	15 2nd (15) (40/1 -60%) Rachel's Secret		40 40/1(-60%)																															(15) Rachel's Secret 40/1, Yeats filly. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 25f) Shining Gale. Wears hood. Runner-up sole start in points (Feb 19). Worth a market check.

Respectable second of 15 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (20.5f, soft, 4/1) 17 days ago, finding little. Should make her presence felt. Seconds in similar contests here and at Roscommon give her solid each-way claims.
5th	7 5th (7) (100/1 -150%) Half Off Six Pence		100 100/1(-150%)																															(7) Half Off Six Pence 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good to soft, 33/1) 45 days ago. Modest pointer not shamed when sixth in first two hurdle outings but unlikely winner.

Tenth of 14 in novice hurdle (3/1) at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 45 days ago. Likely to improve. Point and bumper winner; 3-1 fav when never a factor on hurdling debut at Ballinrobe.

KUDASHEVA might be able to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Clonmel in February. Bought for 370,000 pounds after winning a point-to-point on debut, the Pour Moi bay was a fine third on her first start for current connections at Navan. She was a solid fifth on her next outing at Limerick, before failing to make an impact when sent off favourite at Powerstown Park. Four Clean Aces is Paul Townend's only ride on the card and the dual bumper winner is given second preference. A faller on debut over flights, she since finished a disappointing fourth when odds-on at Listowel. She may have needed that run to get her confidence back and it'll come as a surprise if she is not involved towards the business end here. Lucky Viv, Straight Home, Silent Approach and Rachael's Secret are others of interest.

KUDASHEVA folded tamely when last seen but she'd won a point and shown promise in this sphere prior to that, so she's worth a chance to make a successful return from 7 months off. Four Clean Aces is yet to match her bumper form over hurdles, but a cleaner round of jumping will put her in the picture, and a return to form from Silent Approach would give her a chance.

The form of her first two runs over hurdles is good enough to win this so KUDASHEVA is taken to score at her local track

1	7 1st (7) (9/4 +68%) Sassoon		2.25 9/4(+68%)																															(7) Sassoon 9/4, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 33/1) 34 days ago. Refitting of a visor may well help but he's far from the easiest to predict. Has his conditions and he's dropped in the weights; revival not out of the question.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 -33%) The Gay Blade		6 6/1(-33%)																															(5) The Gay Blade 6/1, Latest win at Musselburgh (7f) in August. Good second of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, soft, 6/1) 10 days ago, good headway final 1f and keeping on. Not taken lightly. In good form since a hood went on in August; 7f on testing ground may stretch his stamina.
4	4 4th (4) (18/1 -64%) Zebra Star		18 18/1(-64%)																															(4) Zebra Star 18/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 9 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Not found her best form for this yard and work to do with Darbucks on last week's C&D run.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 +31%) Miss Calculation		11 11/1(+31%)																															(1) Miss Calculation 11/1, Latest win at Thirsk (7f, soft) in April. Last of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago, weakening when short of room under 2f out. Plenty to prove at present. Well held in two runs back from a summer break but this is weaker and the ground will suit.
6th	8 6th (8) (7/1 -8%) Rogue Force		7 7/1(-8%)																															(8) Rogue Force 7/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Good third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 13/2) 9 days ago, short of room briefly inside final 1f and keeping on. Not out of things from much-reduced mark. Down to a good mark now and last two runs here have hinted at a revival; considered.
7th	2 7th (2) (17/2 -13%) Global Humor		8.5 17/2(-13%)																															(2) Global Humor 17/2, 3-time C&D winner who looked unfortunate not to add to his tally over C&D on his penultimate start in September. Respectable fourth back at this venue 9 days ago and not discounted operating from below last winning mark. C&D winner in June; respectable efforts the last twice but behind Darbucks last week.
8th	9 8th (9) (25/1 -39%) Jazzagal		25 25/1(-39%)																															(9) Jazzagal 25/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft, 10/1) 8 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Inconsistent this year and stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust.
9th	6 9th (6) (40/1 -300%) Debater		40 40/1(-300%)																															(6) Debater 40/1, Visored for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 38 days ago, weakening final 1f. Plenty to prove at present with blinkers now the headgear of choice. Struggling this season; ground a concern; another change of headgear this time.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 -52%) Hollis Brown		50 50/1(-52%)																															(10) Hollis Brown 50/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 15/2, fifth of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Exposed maiden; conditions no problem but cheekpieces need to give him a lift.
3	3 |DQ| (3) (5/2 +0%) Darbucks		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(3) Darbucks 5/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 5/2, good second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 9 days ago, collared final 100 yds. Shouldn't be long in resuming winning ways on recent evidence. Good C&D record this year; 2lb well in after last week's good second; solid candidate.

LTO Selection:

DARBUCKS was only narrowly beaten into second in a similar event over course and distance last week and he is hard to oppose off the same mark. That said, The Gay Blade has a similar profile and is actually 1lb lower then when a neck second at Hamilton 10 days ago. With that in mind, the four-year-old cannot be discounted, while Global Humor and Rogue Force are others to note.

DARBUCKS arrives on a losing run of thirteen, yet he's gone very close to bucking that trend in recent starts, latterly when runner-up over C&D 9 days ago and he looks sure to go well again for all his mark is creeping back up. Global Humor and The Gay Blade are others to consider.

Darbucks is banging at the door but MISS CALCULATION has conditions to suit and may be primed to strike on this drop in grade.

1	3 1st (3) (7/1 +65%) Miss Marette		7 7/1(+65%)																															(3) Miss Marette 7/1, Remains a maiden after 12 hurdle runs but she recorded a good fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) 12 months ago. Possibilities if fully tuned up for her comeback. 0-15; decent handicap run the last time but that was more than a year ago.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/4 +25%) Newmill Getaway		1.5 6/4(+25%)																															(6) Newmill Getaway 6/4, Fair bumper winner who posted a very good second of 8 in bumper at Worcester (16f, good to soft, 3/1) 24 days ago. Interesting hurdling debutante. Solid and competitive form in bumpers; bred to do well as a jumper.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 +44%) Breccia		5 5/1(+44%)																															(1) Breccia 5/1, Fair Flat winner who posted a good third of 7 in handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Much respected now going hurdling. Flat form was an ordinary level but stayed well and could make a jumper.
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 -367%) Vivid Pink		14 14/1(-367%)																															(8) Vivid Pink 14/1, Still in need of the experience but showed improved form after 5 months off when second of 5 in bumper at Market Rasen (16.6f, good, 14/1) 67 days ago. Very much one to consider on her hurdles debut. Bumper form nothing to shout about but she's entitled to improve for hurdles.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 +55%) Nathan Walker		18 18/1(+55%)																															(4) Nathan Walker 18/1, Off 10 months before remote third of 5 in novice at Newton Abbot (16.8f, heavy) on hurdles bow 20 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Poor in bumpers and ran a moderate first race over hurdles at Newton Abbot.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/2 -64%) Fountainspinklady		4.5 9/2(-64%)																															(2) Fountainspinklady 9/2, Fair winner at 17f in bumpers. Held back by inexperience when fourth of 6 in novice hurdle (11/10) at Worcester (20f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 44 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not discounted. Bumper winner; blinkers are added following an underwhelming hurdling debut.
7	7 |PU| (7) (11/1 -57%) Theweddingcanwait		11 11/1(-57%)																															(7) Theweddingcanwait 11/1, Placed in a pair of Worcester bumpers this summer (for Fergal O'Brien first occasion). Tongue tie reached for now switching to hurdles. No forlorn hope. Similar fair form in three bumpers; closely matched with Fountainspinklady.
5	5 |PU| (5) (50/1 -25%) Gorcombe Fizz		50 50/1(-25%)																															(5) Gorcombe Fizz 50/1, Bollin Eric filly. Dam maiden hurdler/well held sole start over fences. Market can prove a good guide. First foal; dam prolific point winner (maiden under rules) out of 2m hurdle winner.

LTO Selection:

Slightly unlucky not to be arriving on a hat-trick following a narrow defeat in a Worcester bumper last time, NEWMILL GETAWAY looks a smart prospect for the David Brace stable and she should be primed to strike on her hurdles bow. She can score at the main expense of Fountainspinklady, who wasn't disgraced on her own hurdles debut at Worcester and should be suited by dropping back in trip. Vivid Pink is open to improvement as well on the back of a decent effort at Market Rasen in August.

The market should prove highly informative but NEWMILL GETAWAY brings some fair winning bumper form to the table so is fancied to go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Fellow newcomers Vivid Pink and Breccia both offer potential too and can chase home David Brace's filly in that order.

If NEWMILL GETAWAY finds some fluency over hurdles, and she's bred to be a jumper, then she looks in pole position on her bumper form.

Off 110 days. Yard having good spell. Blinkers back on. Not taken lightly. Promising in maidens; disappointing fav on h'cap debut but likely capable of better.

Closely related to useful 7f/1m winner Dawn of Liberation and half-brother to several winners, including high-class winner up to 1m Toormore. Makes obvious appeal on paper and interesting what the market makes of him. Galileo colt; 300,000gns yearling; half-brother to Toormore; best watched on belated debut.

Son Of Fastnet Rock; brother to Enthrallment; already gelded and likely to need this.

Open to improvement. Beaten 5l in Cork maiden over 1m4f on debut when 80-1; could go well if he handles soft.

Likely to improve. Distant 4th in Roscommon maiden on debut; winner boosted that form; can improve.

20th	6 20th (6) (200/1 -150%) Fulltime		200 200/1(-150%)																															(6) Fulltime 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. 150/1, sixth of 7 in maiden at Tramore (16f, good) 29 days ago. Back down in trip. Shown very little at huge prices in two maidens so far.

Golden Temple boasts plenty of experience and a return to the level is likely to suit following a couple of runs in juvenile hurdles. That said, he may prove vulnerable to a less-exposed rival and the vote goes to LION WAIT. He shaped with plenty of encouragement when fourth here over 1m 2f last month and the step up in trip appears likely to bring about some improvement. Others to consider include Collaborative, Neptunes Staircase and Teorema.

GOLDEN TEMPLE ran below the form of his hurdles debut effort at Ballinrobe 4 weeks ago but the pick of his exploits in this sphere give him claims in a wide-open maiden and he gets the tentative vote to come out on top. Milwaukee back from a break, Teorema and Lion Wait are others to consider, along with Neptunes Staircase.

1	8 1st (8) (7/2 +13%) Steal My Sunshine		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(8) Steal My Sunshine 7/2, Improved in first-time cheekpieces to land 11-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 145 days ago. That form is proving strong so he's not taken lightly despite an 8 lb hike in the weights. Uttoxeter winner in debuted cheekpieces in May (2m4f, good); could race more generously.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 -25%) Elogio		5 5/1(-25%)																															(3) Elogio 5/1, Debut bumper winner. Second on all his three runs over hurdles, latest at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 7 months ago. Up in trip with cheekpieces on 1st time for his handicap debut. Interesting. Better likely if cheekpieces can sort out his crooked jumping; 2m4f asks a new question.
3	5 3rd (5) (13/2 +46%) Rare Clouds		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(5) Rare Clouds 13/2, Off 11 months before recording a good second of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D 44 days ago. In the mix despite taking a 3 lb rise. Back up the weights following C&D second on August's seasonal return (good to soft).
4	7 4th (7) (15/2 -125%) Gieves		7.5 15/2(-125%)																															(7) Gieves 15/2, 9/1 and hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 2m novice hurdle here 24 days ago, always travelling strongly. Weighted to go well back in handicap company. Ran away with 2m maiden hurdle here latest (good); chance if hood works as well once more.
5th	9 5th (9) (3/1 +14%) Best Mate Dave		3 3/1(+14%)																															(9) Best Mate Dave 3/1, C&D winner in June who backed it up with an excellent second of 9 in handicap hurdle here (23f, good to soft) 44 days ago, clear of rest. Winner has gone in again so he's a player. C&D win and 2m7f near-miss here most recently; up 4lb more but still on the upgrade.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/1 +0%) Gavin		9 9/1(+0%)																															(6) Gavin 9/1, Completed a hat-trick at Ffos Las in June. Posted another solid effort when second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good) 33 days ago so he's firmly in the picture now up in trip. No match for thriving Max Of Stars latest; could do with more than just this 1lb drop.
7th	1 7th (1) (50/1 -79%) Dave And Bernie		50 50/1(-79%)																															(1) Dave And Bernie 50/1, Fair 2m1f winner at his best but returns after over 2 years off here on the back of a wind op. Others are preferred on this occasion. Given big chance by the handicapper, but this first run since June 2021 may be needed.
8th	10 8th (10) (33/1 +50%) Versatility		33 33/1(+50%)																															(10) Versatility 33/1, Temperamental sort who has had breathing surgery since coming in a below form eighth of 14 in handicap chase at Chepstow (26.2f, good) 167 days ago. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Still well below par when last seen in the spring; returns from another wind operation.
9th	4 9th (4) (14/1 +58%) Highlander Casseul		14 14/1(+58%)																															(4) Highlander Casseul 14/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden hurdler. Below par fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D in May. Hooded for 1st time with more needed after a break. 31l fourth in another C&D 0-110 back in May (good; stable debut); hood now added.
2	2 |PU| (2) (12/1 +14%) Bertie B		12 12/1(+14%)																															(2) Bertie B 12/1, Debut bumper winner who posted a good third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, good to soft). Off 7 months since but not discounted. Close third on handicap debut in February (2m5f, good); yard's first runner since May.

BEST MATE DAVE got off the mark over C&D two starts ago and he may have found 2m7f a bit too far when caught late on his most recent outing. Back down in trip, the six-year-old could be hard to stop off what is clearly a workable mark. Steal My Sunshine won well when last seen at Uttoxeter in May and has to be respected on his return, while Rare Clouds is also noted.

A case can be made for a few of these but C&D winner BEST MATE DAVE arrives on an upward curve and is taken to emerge on top from handily-weighted course scorer Gieves. Steal My Sunshine and Elogio both have plenty to recommend them too so need considering in a competitive event.

Proven over C&D and beyond of late, BEST MATE DAVE may prove safer than Elogio. Course 2m maiden scorer Gieves is feared most.

1	4 1st (4) (11/4 +21%) Paidi's Passion		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(4) Paidi's Passion 11/4, Fairly useful winner at 23f in chases. Career best when winning 7-runner novice chase at Ballinrobe (23f, good to soft, 7/2) 27 days ago, driven clear. Switches from chase to hurdles. Up 8lb for Downpatrick win and has since won over fences at Ballinrobe; stays further.
2	11 2nd (11) (9/1 +55%) Natural Breeze		9 9/1(+55%)																															(11) Natural Breeze 9/1, One win from 21 NH runs. Good third of 7 in claiming hurdle (12/1) at Clonmel (19.8f, heavy) 14 days ago, having run of race. Front-runner was fair third to higher-rated rivals in Clonmel claiming hurdle last month.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/4 +54%) Lake Chad		2.75 11/4(+54%)																															(6) Lake Chad 11/4, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Galway (19.1f, heavy, 5/1) 9 days ago, running on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Goes well here and only beaten a length when switched back to hurdles at Galway last week.
4	10 4th (10) (40/1 +0%) Gendarme		40 40/1(+0%)																															(10) Gendarme 40/1, Course winner. First run since leaving Charles Byrnes when pulled up in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Listowel (24f, soft) 20 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before 3 out. Caught the eye when fourth at Limerick but pulled up over 3m on yard debut at Listowel.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/4 +80%) Pat Coyne		2.75 11/4(+80%)																															(2) Pat Coyne 11/4, C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, soft, 16/1) 10 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Likes it here and C&D winner off 97 in April; held over hurdles since and mark high enough.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 -9%) Inchiquin Star		6 6/1(-9%)																															(5) Inchiquin Star 6/1, 14/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (12f, good) 29 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Up in trip. Career best when winning on last hurdle outing. Shortlist material. Form of 2m handicap hurdle win here in August handsomely advertised; stamina concerns.
7th	8 7th (8) (10/1 +70%) Elegant Dan		10 10/1(+70%)																															(8) Elegant Dan 10/1, Course winner. Latest win in chase here in June. Below form fifth of 14 in handicap chase at Ballinrobe (23f, good to soft, 28/1) 27 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Chase winner here in June; well held over fences since and doesn't want it too soft.

LACKANEEN MAG looks well treated off an initial mark of 95. Placed on recent starts at Ballinrobe and Killarney, the Ken Budds-trained five-year-old will be ridden by Shane Fenelon who claims a valuable 7lb. The hat-trick seeking Paidi's Passion has been in excellent form of late and beat a decent field when successful over fences at Ballinrobe last month. Switching back to the smaller obstacles now and with Darragh O'Keeffe again in the saddle, it'll be interesting to see how she fares. Top-weight Walmix will likely have plenty of supporters as he starts off in handicap company, while Pat Coyne, Frazel Express and Inchiquin Star are other leading hopes in this competitive affair.

Dual Flat winner COMO PARK performed with credit when third in a 2m maiden hurdle here last time and, with the promise of better to come now handicapping and faced with a stiffer test, he gets the nod. Inchiquin Star did the job well on her latest start in this sphere and is feared most, though Walmix remains open to improvement and Paidi's Passion has to be respected in her hat-trick bid.

You won't get rich backing 11-year-old mares but a chance is taken with dual C&D winner FRAZEL EXPRESS who might have one more in her

1	8 1st (8) (14/1 +30%) Be Proud		14 14/1(+30%)																															(8) Be Proud 14/1, Course winner. Latest win at Doncaster in July. Twenty third of 25 in handicap (66/1) in the Silver Cup over this C&D (good) 19 days ago, hampered. Won two in a row in July; capable of having a say but has to bounce back to form.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 -64%) Abduction		9 9/1(-64%)																															(2) Abduction 9/1, Multiple course winner. Latest win here in August. 6/1, shaped quite well when fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (7.2f, soft) 9 days ago, nearest finish and finishing with running left having been left with a lot to do. Needs everything to drop right but this three-time course winner is not ruled out.
3	3 3rd (3) (3.33/1 -21%) Admiral D		3.33 3.33/1(-21%)																															(3) Admiral D 3.33/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 20/1, good third of 25 in the Silver Cup over this C&D (good) 19 days ago, running on. Expected to be bang there from the same mark. Close third in the Silver Cup here last month; strong claims if repeating that form.
4	4 4th (4) (6/1 +0%) Ascot Adventure		6 6/1(+0%)																															(4) Ascot Adventure 6/1, 15/2, improved on recent efforts to win 20-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 20 days ago. 6 lb rise to contend with but he's clearly in good nick. Won the C&D Bronze Cup last month when clear with a next-time-out winner; unexposed at 6f.
5th	9 5th (9) (7/2 +22%) Ramiro		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(9) Ramiro 7/2, C&D winner who won 8-runner handicap (5/1) at Chester (7f, heavy) 12 days ago. Tendency to miss the break always a slight concern with him. Won in a big field over C&D in July and scored on heavy ground at Chester recently; player.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 +43%) Snazzy Jazzy		4 4/1(+43%)																															(1) Snazzy Jazzy 4/1, C&D winner. 33/1, first run since leaving Lawrence Mullaney when creditable fifth of 25 in the Silver Cup over this C&D (good) 19 days ago, running on. Big player eased in class. Promising fifth in Silver Cup here on stable debut and could have more to offer for yard.
7th	7 7th (7) (100/1 -52%) Shandy Star		100 100/1(-52%)																															(7) Shandy Star 100/1, Last of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to soft, 20/1) 21 days ago. Eyeshields/blinkers on first time and she has a lot to prove. Made a belated reappearance this year and has been well beaten on both outings.
8th	6 8th (6) (28/1 -40%) Quintus Arrius		28 28/1(-40%)																															(6) Quintus Arrius 28/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in May. First run since leaving Kevin Ryan when last of 13 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good, 25/1) 12 days ago. 3yo who has won twice this year but was well beaten on recent stable debut at Ripon.
9th	5 9th (5) (7/1 +42%) Jump The Gun		7 7/1(+42%)																															(5) Jump The Gun 7/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 11/1, below form fourteenth of 25 in the Silver Cup this C&D (good) 19 days ago, finding little. Runner-up at Doncaster last month but merely mid-division in the C&D Silver Cup since.
10th	10 10th (10) (33/1 -136%) Ramon Di Loria		33 33/1(-136%)																															(10) Ramon Di Loria 33/1, Stuck to his task when fifth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Hood back on. Now below last winning mark but he's exposed. His mark has fallen but his form has taken a downturn on his last three starts.
11th	11 11th (11) (18/1 +10%) Iris Dancer		18 18/1(+10%)																															(11) Iris Dancer 18/1, Three wins from 14 runs this year. Won 6-runner handicap (13/2) at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago, responding well. Must improve in this deeper race. Has won at Hamilton the last twice but that's her favourite track and this is tougher.
12th	12 12th (12) (80/1 -142%) Sound Of Iona		80 80/1(-142%)																															(12) Sound Of Iona 80/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 25/1, seventeenth of 20 in handicap at this course (5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Down to a dangerous mark but she's struggled to get competitive this year.

ADMIRAL D bounced back to form when running a big race in third over C&D last time, and this looks a good opportunity to get his head in front. Richard Fahey's runner was only beaten one and a half lengths that day and he looks primed to go close off the same mark. Ascot Adventure rates as the biggest danger to the selection after scoring in the Bronze Cup last time, but it won't be easy to defy a 6lb rise, while Abduction also warrants respect.

Several of these ran in the Silver Cup here 3 weeks ago, with the frustrating ADMIRAL D (third on that occasion) taken to confirm the form and finally get off the mark for these connections. Snazzy Jazzy should pay his way for Seb Spencer and is feared, while Abduction, who has a good Ayr record, is also one to consider.

Having come clear with a next-time-out winner when landing the Bronze Cup over C&D three weeks ago, ASCOT ADVENTURE earns the vote.

1	15 1st (15) (16/1 -100%) Cawthorne Cracker		16 16/1(-100%)																															(15) Cawthorne Cracker 16/1, Showed more than he did in a trio of junior hurdles when third on handicap debut back from a break at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm) last month. Needs to brush up on his jumping but could have a part to play if able to do so. Fared much better when keeping-on third in Southwell handicap (2m, good) a month ago.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/1 +0%) Gerard Mentor		9 9/1(+0%)																															(1) Gerard Mentor 9/1, Winner of 3 handicap hurdles at around 2m last season, including over this C&D. Has slipped to a dangerous mark (3 lb lower than for his latest success) but needs to bounce back in a major way following a string of poor performances. Won four times in 2022 but this season is proving a struggle.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 +47%) Pittsburg		4 4/1(+47%)																															(6) Pittsburg 4/1, In good form in recent months, winning back-to-back handicap over fences at Perth and Market Rasen in August and has found just one too good on each of his last 3 starts, including when returned to this sphere at Uttoxeter last month. Solid each-way chance. In form and considered off this mark, especially with Finn Lambert claiming 5lb.
4	13 4th (13) (12/1 +76%) Marley Head		12 12/1(+76%)																															(13) Marley Head 12/1, Fair maiden on the Flat but latest effort in that sphere in August was poor and he hasn't shown much in half-a-dozen runs over hurdles. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces sparking improvement. 0-6 over hurdles and there has been no more than glimmers of promise.
5th	3 5th (3) (4/1 +0%) Bahtiyar		4 4/1(+0%)																															(3) Bahtiyar 4/1, Ex-French gelding who remains a maiden in this sphere following 11 attempts. However, positive start for this yard (also first run following a wind op) when runner-up at Stratford (16.3f, good) in August and a line can be drawn through subsequent effort there (saddle slipped). Went close on stable debut and the saddle slipped last time.
6th	11 6th (11) (6/1 -20%) Ten Ten Twenty		6 6/1(-20%)																															(11) Ten Ten Twenty 6/1, Has largely struggled since wide-margin Worcester maiden success last summer but returned to form when a close third in a first-time tongue strap at Kelso (2¼m, good) on latest start. Big player off the same mark here if able to back that effort up. Attracted some support when going down narrowly in a 2m2f handicap at Kelso.
7th	9 7th (9) (50/1 +24%) Flamenco De Kerser		50 50/1(+24%)																															(9) Flamenco De Kerser 50/1, Successful once from 5 starts between the flags but he's 0-12 under Rules and looks set for another struggle. Best form was in 2021 and has completely lost his way since then; plenty of risks attached.
8th	5 8th (5) (16/1 +11%) Turpin Gold		16 16/1(+11%)																															(5) Turpin Gold 16/1, Got off the mark in a Stratford novice last September and posted his best effort since switched to handicaps when runner-up at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) during the summer. Hasn't matched that in 3 subsequent starts, though, and others make more appeal. 6l down when falling late on at Newton Abbot the final time.
9th	2 9th (2) (6/1 +50%) Ferrybridge		6 6/1(+50%)																															(2) Ferrybridge 6/1, Didn't show much for Michael Hourigan in Ireland but shaped with greater promise when fourth in a 13-runner handicap at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) on recent debut for new connections. Possibilities here if able to build on that. Ex-Irish; still lightly raced and ran well for long way at Sedgefield before dropping away.
10th	12 10th (12) (100/1 -25%) Grinn		100 100/1(-25%)																															(12) Grinn 100/1, Long-standing maiden who is readily passed over on the back of a heavy defeat at Worcester last month. Longstanding maiden who has finished tailed off in her last two runs.
11th	7 11th (7) (22/1 -120%) Pepsiwithacap		22 22/1(-120%)																															(7) Pepsiwithacap 22/1, Bagged a maiden hurdle for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland last year and though rather hit-and-miss since, she arrives here on the back of a solid effort at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft). Reproduction of that would give her a fighting chance. Up and down in ten runs for this yard but was bang there in the latest.
12th	14 12th (14) (25/1 -25%) Tally's Son		25 25/1(-25%)																															(14) Tally's Son 25/1, Finally opened hurdles account at Stratford in August but failed to fire next time and his profile is too patchy for comfort. Beat the backed Bahtiyar at Stratford but dropped out very tamely once headed at Southwell.
13th	4 13th (4) (66/1 -230%) Happy Company		66 66/1(-230%)																															(4) Happy Company 66/1, Doubled his tally in this sphere when seeing off 4 rivals at Fontwell (21.7f, good to firm) in May but ran poorly there last time. Blinkers refitted. Capable handicapper at this level but recent efforts don't bode well.
14th	10 14th (10) (17/2 -42%) Vin Rouge		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(10) Vin Rouge 17/2, Decisive winner at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to firm) and put in a good shift when third of 10 over the same C&D last time, conceding first run to the pair that beat him. Down another 1 lb and he has to enter calculations. Paid the price for winning by 8l at Newton Abbot in June but remains in decent form.
8	8 |PU| (8) (28/1 -75%) Lady Valentine		28 28/1(-75%)																															(8) Lady Valentine 28/1, Successful as a 2-y-o on the Flat for Tom Dascombe and placed in handicaps for Hugo Palmer in 2022. No better than modest form since switched to this sphere, though, and has undergone a wind op since her latest start in March. Had wind surgery since poor final run and doesn't look that well in.

In a fairly open contest it might be worth taking a chance on CAWTHORNE CRACKER. He must compete from 3lb out of the handicap but his recent handicap debut offered hope that he can make an impact at this level. Pittsburg is a consistent performer and should not be far away, while others to note include Happy Company, Pepsiwithacap and Vin Rouge.

A chance is taken on FERRYBRIDGE, who stepped up on what he showed in Ireland when fourth at Sedgefield on his first start for the James Owen yard. This low-mileage 5-y-o will be a serious contender if able to build on that. Ten Ten Twenty went close at Kelso last month and is feared most off the same mark, while Bahtiyar, the consistent Pittsburg and Vin Rouge are others to consider.

A very open handicap. James Owen is making a name for himself and his new recruit FERRYBRIDGE ran well for a long way at Sedgefield.

Tongue strap on first time and he has a bigger performance in him. Creditable C&D run on Champions Weekend; tongue tied and could go well if handling ground.

Back down in trip and must cast that heavy defeat aside. Back to optimum trip here so don't rule out an improved show.
8th	7 8th (7) (12/1 -33%) En Or		12 12/1(-33%)																															(7) En Or 12/1, Winner at Fairyhouse in July. Below form ninth of 19 in handicap (5/1) at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 71 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Marked drop in trip here and others preferred.

TRACHONITUS posted another solid effort over 1m1f at Tipperary 11 days ago. Jim Bolger's charge ought to appreciate this step up in trip judged on pedigree and ground with cut in it clearly isn't a problem. His sole career win came at this track and he wouldn't be winning out of turn on his return here. The First And Last remains unexposed and is expected to go well in first-time cheekpieces, while fellow three-year-old Genuine Article boasts a similar profile sporting a tongue-tie for the first time. Keep an eye on C&D winner Nostringsattached too.

Competitive fare with SLIEVE BINNIAN awarded the vote given his record over this trip reads very well. This increased emphasis on stamina will suit Blackberry Jack, with 3-y-o Genuine Article another to consider.

1	3 1st (3) (11/4 +21%) Ikarak		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(3) Ikarak 11/4, Fairly useful form in France (winning chaser) but jumped erratically when failing to beat his sole rival in a handicap at Fontwell on British/stable debut in April. However, twice runner-up in this sphere since, including with first-time cheekpieces added here last month, and he's a major player. Dual chase winner in France; 2nd all three British starts, including to Doughmore Bay here.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/8 +15%) Doughmore Bay		1.375 11/8(+15%)																															(1) Doughmore Bay 11/8, Every chance when departing at the final fence on sole start in Irish points and made a winning start under Rules in a 2½m novice here in May, proving 2 lengths too strong for the re-opposing Ikarak. More will be needed under a penalty but he's completely unexposed. £90,000 buy before well-backed winner of novice here (2m4f, good) in May by 2l from Ikarak.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -118%) Kick Up A Storm		12 12/1(-118%)																															(5) Kick Up A Storm 12/1, Cost £78,000 as a 3-y-o and he's a half-brother to 17f bumper winner Erins Benefit. Failed to measure up to market expectations on debut in a Wincanton bumper last November but surely capable of better for top yard now switched to hurdles. Has undergone a wind op. 7-4 favourite and tongue tied, tailed off in Wincanton bumper last November; had wind op.
4	2 4th (2) (28/1 -273%) Diesel D'allier		28 28/1(-273%)																															(2) Diesel D'allier 28/1, Useful chaser on the cross-country circuit but well below his best in 2 appearances last term and it's hard to know what to expect of him back hurdling following a 7-month absence. Useful over the Cheltenham cross-country course but did not show it last season.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/2 +53%) Mullys Choice		3.5 7/2(+53%)																															(6) Mullys Choice 7/2, Appealing jumps pedigree and picked up for £60,000 after finishing second in a maiden point last November. Joined good yard and interesting to see what the market has to say. 2nd in Irish point last November and form has been boosted; bought for £60,000 in December.
4	4 |U| (4) (10/1 +38%) Isle Of Gold		10 10/1(+38%)																															(4) Isle Of Gold 10/1, Runner-up sole start between the flags and bettered his low-key Rules debut when fourth of 9 in a Chepstow maiden upped to 23.6f in March. Best days are surely ahead of him but will probably find one or two too good here all the same. Probably needs further improvement after Chepstow 4th (3m, soft) but should have potential.
7	7 |PU| (7) (28/1 -75%) Outside Adesa		28 28/1(-75%)																															(7) Outside Adesa 28/1, Half-brother to useful hunter chaser Law of Gold and out of a 2¼m hurdle winner. Found just one too good on each of his 2 appearances between the flags earlier this year and one to note in the betting on Rules debut. Second in two Irish points before sold for £20,000 in April.

LTO Selection:

---

DOUGHMORE BAY readily accounted for Ikarak (second) when making a winning Rules debut over 2m4f here in May and the unexposed son of Milan can confirm that form on his way to another victory. The aforementioned Ikarak was subsequently second in a valuable handicap at this venue and is likely to be in the mix once again. Others to note are Mullys Choice and Isle Of Gold.

DOUGHMORE BAY got the better of Ikarak when they met here in May and, with this stiffer test likely to prompt improvement, Emma Lavelle's charge is taken to uphold that form. Ikarak has the advantage of a recent run under his belt and won't go down without a fight, while Mullys Choice and Outside Adesa, both of whom showed ability between the flags, need a close look in the betting. Kick Up A Storm is surely capable of better than he showed in a bumper last year and is not discounted.

An interesting field may be headed by DOUGHMORE BAY who beat the far more experienced Ikarak over 2m4f here in May.

1	6 1st (6) (10/1 +0%) Itsalonglongroad		10 10/1(+0%)																															(6) Itsalonglongroad 10/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap chase at Clonmel (18.2f, heavy, 14/1) 14 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Twenty five runs since last win in 2021. C&D winner in 2021 was poor at Clonmel last time and has to bounce back; visor tried.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 +50%) Peckham Springs		5 5/1(+50%)																															(2) Peckham Springs 5/1, Below par fifth of 11 in handicap chase at this course (15.7f, soft, 9/1) 53 days ago. More is needed. Dual hurdle winner has run well at times over fences and could get involved.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/2 -13%) Finnians Row		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(7) Finnians Row 9/2, 22/1, career best when winning 8-runner novice chase at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft) 27 days ago, responding well. Weighted to follow up back in handicap company. Surprise winner of a Downpatrick beginners' chase last time; has to defy a 12lb rise.
4	9 4th (9) (22/1 -10%) Tincurra Lad		22 22/1(-10%)																															(9) Tincurra Lad 22/1, Tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 14/1) 13 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase with work to do. Hurdle winner fell on chase debut over C&D; poor back over hurdles at Gowran since.
5th	1 5th (1) (8/1 +60%) Cheerful Chap		8 8/1(+60%)																															(1) Cheerful Chap 8/1, 28/1, tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, soft) 10 days ago. Makes chase debut. Significantly back down in trip. Makes handicap chase debut. Soft ground hurdle winner here last year; poor at Fairyhouse last week; chasing debut.
6th	4 6th (4) (5/1 +0%) Mater Matuta		5 5/1(+0%)																															(4) Mater Matuta 5/1, C&D winner. 66/1, very good third of 7 in minor event at Laytown (7.2f) 30 days ago. Switches from Flat to chase and one to consider. C&D winner last year has been running well in defeat this term but best on good ground.
7th	11 7th (11) (12/1 +40%) Katzoff		12 12/1(+40%)																															(11) Katzoff 12/1, 50/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 13 days ago. More required on his chase debut. Maiden under all codes doesn't make much appeal on chasing debut.
8th	8 8th (8) (8/1 +60%) Crowsatedappletart		8 8/1(+60%)																															(8) Crowsatedappletart 8/1, 16/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap chase at Clonmel (18.2f, heavy) 14 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Hurdle winner in the spring was poor over fences last time and has to rebound.
9th	10 9th (10) (5/1 +17%) Shean Glory		5 5/1(+17%)																															(10) Shean Glory 5/1, Modest winner at 19f over hurdles. Good third of 11 in handicap chase (11/1) at Clonmel (18.2f, heavy) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. In the picture. Was in fine form earlier this year over hurdles; decent Clonmel chase effort last time.
10th	5 10th (5) (12/1 +25%) Astrophysicist		12 12/1(+25%)																															(5) Astrophysicist 12/1, Modest winner at 10f on Flat. Twelfth of 13 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (16.5f, soft, 150/1) on debut over fences 5 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut with more required. Was tailed off on chasing debut five days ago and needs huge improvement.

LTO Selection:

Successful three times from nine visits to Tramore, ITSALONGLONGROAD might be able to enhance that record. Third on his most recent visit to the Co Waterford venue, he since filled the runner-up spot at Ballinrobe, before disappointing on heavy ground at Listowel. Back to his favourite venue now and fitted with a visor for the first time, the versatile nine-year-old should go close. Mater Matuta has a course and distance win to her name and the Charles Coakley-trained chestnut is given second preference. A runner-up on her latest try over fences, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a place better now. Finians Row sprang a surprise when successful on his 24th start at Downpatrick last month and it'll be interesting to see if he can follow-up on that performance. Top-weight Cheerful Chap, Philip Rothwell's Ardamir and recent Clonmel third Shean Glory (first-time cheekpieces) are other leading hopes.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and FINNIANS ROW looks the way to go on the back of his breakthrough success at Downpatrick. Killarney second Ardamir rates the chief threat to the well-treated selection ahead of in-form pair Shean Glory and Mater Matuta.

Though ARDAMIR is more effective on better ground, he might be able to get away with it dropped to this grade.

1	6 1st (6) (1.88/1 +25%) Pressure's On		1.88 1.88/1(+25%)																															(6) Pressure's On 1.88/1, Fair gelding. 17/2, creditable fifth of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 35 days ago, not ideally placed. Gelded since and he's just about the one to beat. Placed in four of his six runs at sprint trips; gelded since latest; new trip could help.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.1/1 +51%) Al Shabab		1.1 1.1/1(+51%)																															(1) Al Shabab 1.1/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, thirteenth of 17 in minor event at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Could have a part to play back in calmer waters here, provided he takes to this surface. Struggled in a sales race last time but progressing steadily beforehand; leading claims.
3	10 3rd (10) (11/1 -83%) Pinjarra		11 11/1(-83%)																															(10) Pinjarra 11/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 9 in maiden at this course (8f, 13/2) 21 days ago. Each-way chance. Promise in both starts, latterly third of nine over 1m here last month; needs a bit more.
4	11 4th (11) (6.5/1 -86%) Pretence		6.5 6.5/1(-86%)																															(11) Pretence 6.5/1, Fair filly. Winner at Chester in June. 6/4, below form fifth of 9 in nursery at Chester (7f, heavy) 67 days ago. Good second over the same C&D on penultimate start. Makes polytrack debut. Her win came in a seller and she failed to fire last time; needs a career best to win.
5th	8 5th (8) (17/2 +6%) Ten Club		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(8) Ten Club 17/2, Foaled April 4. €11,000 foal, €32,000 yearling, Dandy Man colt. Half-brother to 1m-11f winner Barbarosa and 1¼m-2m winner Flying Standard. Market should point the way. Half-brother to a couple of winners out of an AW winner; starts out at a realistic level.
6th	7 6th (7) (100/1 -100%) Sneaky Blinder		100 100/1(-100%)																															(7) Sneaky Blinder 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 66/1) 15 days ago, slowly away. Sizeable step forward needed. Modest form in two 1m runs last month; handicaps more suitable after this.
7th	13 7th (13) (80/1 -471%) Sweet Talkin Sue		80 80/1(-471%)																															(13) Sweet Talkin Sue 80/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 5/1) on debut 16 days ago. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Pretence. Couldn't live up to market billing on debut 16 days ago; one of two runners for the yard.
8th	3 8th (3) (66/1 +0%) Cowboy Stuff		66 66/1(+0%)																															(3) Cowboy Stuff 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, first run since leaving George Scott when seventh of 12 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 16 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Modest form in two 5f events; new trip needs to spark major progress.
9th	2 9th (2) (33/1 -18%) Cherry King		33 33/1(-18%)																															(2) Cherry King 33/1, Foaled February 20. 26,000 gns yearling, Golden Horn gelding. Closely related to very smart winner up to 1¼m Windhoek and half-brother to several winners, including 7f winner Queen Kahlua. Worth a second look in the betting. 26,000gns yearling; related to several winners, some of them useful; should have a future.
10th	9 10th (9) (125/1 -25%) Muy Barato		125 125/1(-25%)																															(9) Muy Barato 125/1, Unreliable sort. 100/1, refused to race in minor event at Kempton (7f) 50 days ago. Hard to warm to. Refused to race at Kempton seven weeks ago; gelded since; too risky for now.
11th	4 11th (4) (300/1 -200%) Elysian Wolf		300 300/1(-200%)																															(4) Elysian Wolf 300/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, last of 9 in minor event at this C&D (125/1) 12 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Best to look elsewhere. Beat one rival in three starts, including C&D latest; new tongue-tie today; no appeal.
12th	5 12th (5) (80/1 -400%) My Noble Lord		80 80/1(-400%)																															(5) My Noble Lord 80/1, Once-raced maiden. 15/2, eighth of 9 in minor event at this C&D on debut 12 days ago. Another who will probably be seen in a better light in handicaps further down the line. Slowly away, green and never in the hunt over C&D 12 days ago; needs to be a quick learner.
13th	12 13th (12) (250/1 -150%) Lady Invictus		250 250/1(-150%)																															(12) Lady Invictus 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 14 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 29 days ago, very slowly away. 200-1 and offered no short-term promise on last month's Kempton debut (7f).

LTO Selection:

AL SHABAB struggled in a very competitive sales event at Doncaster when last seen but his previous form at this level suggests that he could be hard to beat here. That said, Pinjarra took a step forward when third over a mile at this venue three weeks ago and he may have more improvement left to come. Pressure's On and Pretence are both capable of going very well but could be vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

It's fair to say that PRESSURE'S ON doesn't look especially progressive but he has shown more than enough to suggest that a race of this nature would be within his grasp. He gets the nod ahead of Al Shabab, who was flying too high in a valuable sales race last time and comes into the reckoning judged on his creditable effort at Leicester in August. Pretence also has decent form claims, for all that she was below par last time.

Pressure's On will be a strong contender if seeing out the trip but AL SHABAB looks the safer option back down in grade.

1	9 1st (9) (28/1 +0%) Kelpie Grey		28 28/1(+0%)																															(9) Kelpie Grey 28/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft, 28/1) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Now 6lb lower than when second over C&D in May but hasn't shone since.
2	11 2nd (11) (11/2 +31%) Tremendous Times		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(11) Tremendous Times 11/2, Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 15/2) 9 days ago. Unexposed over this trip. Fair fourth when dropped back in trip over C&D last week and could make another bold bid.
3	10 3rd (10) (13/8 +46%) Jkr Cobbler		1.625 13/8(+46%)																															(10) Jkr Cobbler 13/8, Three-time C&D winner. 4 wins from 15 runs this year, completing hat-trick here in August. 9/4, creditable second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Shortlist material from the same mark. C&D hat-trick this summer and placed over C&D the last twice; solid claims.
4	1 4th (1) (20/1 -167%) Muntadab		20 20/1(-167%)																															(1) Muntadab 20/1, Creditable third of 9 in handicap (13/2) at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago, running on having been short of room briefly. One to consider eased in class. Back to form when third at Musselburgh; he likes it there but he's not ruled out.
5th	12 5th (12) (12/1 -20%) Obee Jo		12 12/1(-20%)																															(12) Obee Jo 12/1, Latest win at Catterick in July. Good second of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy, 13/2) 19 days ago, clear of rest. 3 lb rise isn't ideal. Likes Catterick, where he went close last time, but capable of running well elsewhere.
6th	2 6th (2) (5/1 +55%) Hour By Hour		5 5/1(+55%)																															(2) Hour By Hour 5/1, Nursery winner who failed to justify support when fourth of 8 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to soft) 83 days ago. Back up in trip. Below best on last few starts but returns from a break here and peak form is on soft going.
7th	5 7th (5) (14/1 -27%) B Associates		14 14/1(-27%)																															(5) B Associates 14/1, C&D winner. 5 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win at Carlisle in August. Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good, 8/1) 19 days ago. Can make presence felt in this slightly weaker race. Five wins this season (including C&D) but the testing ground is a worry.
8th	3 8th (3) (7/1 +0%) Agnes Grey		7 7/1(+0%)																															(3) Agnes Grey 7/1, Given a chance by the assessor and better than ever when second of 12 in handicap at Chester (7f, soft) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time and she's not yet exposed. Went close at Chester last month and this lightly raced 3yo is one to consider.
9th	6 9th (6) (14/1 +0%) Indian Falcon		14 14/1(+0%)																															(6) Indian Falcon 14/1, Winner at Pontefract on just his second career start in April. 50/1, last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 29 days ago. Needs to leave that effort well behind. Plenty to prove regarding current form but return to testing surface offers chink of hope.
10th	7 10th (7) (20/1 -82%) Secret Road		20 20/1(-82%)																															(7) Secret Road 20/1, Latest win at Fairyhouse in June. 12/1 and hooded for first time, bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Return to 7f in his favour. Kept on well for fourth over 6f at Hamilton last time and worth another crack at 7f.
11th	13 11th (13) (66/1 -65%) Wrecked It Ralph		66 66/1(-65%)																															(13) Wrecked It Ralph 66/1, Unreliable sort. Course winner. 28/1, last of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, soft) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip with cheekpieces back on. On a competitive mark on this year's 5f/6f course form but well beaten the last twice.
12th	8 12th (8) (80/1 -220%) Ignac Lamar		80 80/1(-220%)																															(8) Ignac Lamar 80/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 9/1), slowly away. Off 107 days. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Rod Millman. Must improve. Well beaten on final run for Rod Millman but good third previously and not written off.
13th	4 13th (4) (14/1 -75%) Hills Of Gold		14 14/1(-75%)																															(4) Hills Of Gold 14/1, Maiden who made the frame but in truth ran a fair way below his best when third of 9 in maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Assessor has assisted. 0-8 but on a competitive mark now back in a handicap and might not be far away.

Hills Of Gold and Agnes Grey are open to improvement at this stage of their development and are serious competitors. However, TREMENDOUS TIMES has dropped to a highly attractive rating and, off 2lb lower than his latest start when fourth here, he has a live chance of reversing the form with the runner-up from that contest, Jkr Cobbler, to break his maiden at the 11th time of asking in the process. The veteran Muntadab is also feared.

JKR COBBLER is compiling an excellent record at Ayr, finding only a well-treated rival too good over C&D last week and from the same mark, he can regain the winning thread. Tremendous Times hasn't had much exposure to 7f so he's a threat, with Muntadab another to consider dropped in grade.

C&D specialist JKR COBBLER has continued in good form since winning three in a row here this summer and can get back on the scoresheet.

Reverted to fences, back to form when second at Fontwell (26f) 6 days ago and he can go one better. Finally showed more off his reduced mark when chasing home an improver at Fontwell.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/1 +56%) Getthepot		7 7/1(+56%)																															(6) Getthepot 7/1, Successful twice in handicap chases in 2022 but little promise this year, including back over hurdles on his last 2 starts having left Fergal O'Brien.

Resumed winning ways when making all at the same C&D last month, though might find it tougher to repeat the same tactics this time.

Respected as he makes first run for yard after leaving Keiran Burke. The front two were nicely on top when edging home at Newton Abbot.
5th	1 5th (1) (14/1 +13%) Hobie		14 14/1(+13%)																															(1) Hobie 14/1, Irish point winner who stepped up on low-key hurdles debut when landing a Worcester maiden (2m) in May. However, following 3 months off he struggled in both of his starts in September, so he needs to get back on track as he makes his chasing bow. Highly tried on handicap debut latest but does look on a tough mark for this chasing debut.
8	8 |F| (8) (22/1 -57%) Troed Y Melin		22 22/1(-57%)																															(8) Troed Y Melin 22/1, Took advantage of a reduced mark when making a successful reappearance at Warwick (25.4f) in May last year, but his form his gone the wrong way since then. Has plenty to prove after a further 6 months off. No worthwhile form in six starts since his last win in early 2022.

RED HAPPY found only an unexposed rival too strong at Fontwell six days ago and that effort left the impression that David Pipe's six-year-old is coming into some form. He is now extremely well treated, having won off 27lb higher at this venue in October last year, so it would come as no surprise to see him back in the winner's enclosure. Recent Newton Abbot scorer Dan's Chosen ought to be thereabouts raised just 1lb in the ratings, while Scrumpy Boy heads the remainder.

Having dropped a long way in the weights, RED HAPPY returned to form when runner-up at Fontwell 6 days ago and he can build on that to return to winning ways. Scrumpy Boy was successful at Newton Abbot when last seen in July and is feared most on his stable debut, with Dan's Chosen the pick of the remainder.

This trip is on the short side and they claimed 8lb off him last week at Fontwell, but RED HAPPY is handicapped to win again.

1	13 1st (13) (10/1 -18%) David Garrick		10 10/1(-18%)																															(13) David Garrick 10/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. 3/1, below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good to soft) 76 days ago. Back down in trip. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Too keen at Down Royal but has to be respected off this much reduced mark.
2	12 2nd (12) (11/1 +31%) Albatala		11 11/1(+31%)																															(12) Albatala 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, below form tenth of 20 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft) 8 days ago. Last week's Navan run not without promise; remains unexposed.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/4 +14%) Pachmena		1.5 6/4(+14%)																															(1) Pachmena 6/4, 11/2, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at this course (12f, soft) 5 days ago, plenty in hand. Carries 7 lb penalty. Looks competitive on form. Decisive win here on Saturday and big chance of follow up with experienced rider booked.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 -29%) Giselles Defence		9 9/1(-29%)																															(4) Giselles Defence 9/1, 11/2, sixth of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Down Royal second off this mark but softer ground an unknown.
5th	10 5th (10) (10/1 -25%) Indulging		10 10/1(-25%)																															(10) Indulging 10/1, Got back on track when second of 7 in minor event (10/1) at Laytown (7.2f) 30 days ago, no match for winner. Significantly back up in trip. Bold showing is on the cards at these weights. Laytown second was encouraging considering inadequate trip; don't rule out.
6th	9 6th (9) (5/1 +50%) Florida Taiga		5 5/1(+50%)																															(9) Florida Taiga 5/1, 9/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 12 in handicap at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 35 days ago. Yard in good form. Likely to be on the premises on pick of form. Didn't handle track at Clonmel but previous Navan third over this trip gives her claims.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 +30%) Rotolo		14 14/1(+30%)																															(6) Rotolo 14/1, Below form tenth of 18 in handicap (14/1) at Tipperary (12.5f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time with more required. Never sighted after long absence at Tipperary last month; tried in a tongue tie.
8th	3 8th (3) (25/1 +24%) Golden Star		25 25/1(+24%)																															(3) Golden Star 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. 33/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 86 days ago. Back up in trip. Tongue strap back on. Much respected on his handicap debut. Lightly raced 7yo a potential improver on handicap debut.
9th	15 9th (15) (9/1 +25%) Our Dickie		9 9/1(+25%)																															(15) Our Dickie 9/1, Respectable third of 8 in minor event at Ayr (8f, good, 6/5) 66 days ago. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Iain Jardine and needs considering. Wins have been over shorter; can be keen, will need to settle to see out this longer trip.
10th	8 10th (8) (18/1 +28%) Tasayad		18 18/1(+28%)																															(8) Tasayad 18/1, 9/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 13 days ago. Enters calculations. Has run respectably in handicaps; others possibly better handicapped though.
11th	5 11th (5) (25/1 +62%) Le Comte De Frou		25 25/1(+62%)																															(5) Le Comte De Frou 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 13 in handicap (28/1) at Down Royal (10.3f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Folded tamely on Down Royal return last month; visor now tried but hard to be confident in.
12th	2 12th (2) (50/1 -52%) Hazran		50 50/1(-52%)																															(2) Hazran 50/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft, 40/1). Off 14 months. Significantly down in trip. Fair on the Flat but others more persuasive on this occasion. Absent 14 months so this looks a tough ask on return to flat.
13th	14 13th (14) (50/1 +38%) Maponus		50 50/1(+38%)																															(14) Maponus 50/1, Eleventh of 17 in handicap (100/1) at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Ex French-trained; trip could suit but too many unknowns.
14th	7 14th (7) (66/1 -164%) Crimson		66 66/1(-164%)																															(7) Crimson 66/1, 12/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Chantilly (7f). Off 10 months. Significantly up in trip. Ex French-trained; hasn't run in 11 months and watching brief advised on Irish debut.

A competitive contest but it is hard to oppose PACHMENA, who had plenty in hand when winning over 1m 4f here on Saturday. A 7lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop her this afternoon judging by the way that she won on that occasion. Giselles Defence could prove to be the main danger based on his second-placed finish at Down Royal last month. Others to note are Florida Taiga, Our Dickie and David Garrick.

INDULGING rates the pick of these weights on the back of his recent Laytown second so gets the verdict at the chief expense of course scorer Pachmena. Tasayad and Golden Star also need factoring into this open-looking handicap.

1	3 1st (3) (0.83/1 +45%) Kamsinas		0.83 0.83/1(+45%)																															(3) Kamsinas 0.83/1, Successful sole outing in Irish points and quickly over bumper debut mishap when off the mark at Kelso (16.2f) in February. Creditable third under a penalty at Huntingdon (15.8f) when last seen in April and one of the likelier types now sights are set on hurdling. Pick of these in bumpers and out of a successful 2m hurdler to boot; considerable appeal.
2	7 2nd (7) (16/1 -60%) R S Ambush		16 16/1(-60%)																															(7) R S Ambush 16/1, Fell sole start in points but offered something to work on in a couple of spins in maiden hurdles in Ireland this summer. Type new yard do well with but handicaps could be more his bag. First hurdling effort sets a beatable form standard here; has left Harry Kelly since.
3	5 3rd (5) (7.5/1 +38%) Speaker Thomas		7.5 7.5/1(+38%)																															(5) Speaker Thomas 7.5/1, Point winner who didn't offer much under Rules for John Joseph Hanlon, pulled up in hunter chase event at Punchestown in April. Had wind op ahead of this yard/hurdling debut but he's likely best watched. Tongue strap on 1st time. Irish point winner in April (3m, good); can front run, but can also make mistakes.
4	6 4th (6) (16/1 -100%) Kooky		16 16/1(-100%)																															(6) Kooky 16/1, Encouraging start when third in a Huntingdon bumper (15.8f) in January and shaped like a stayer when filling same spot on hurdles debut at Chepstow in April, staying on again from 2 out. Open to improvement but 2½m may well suit ideally moving forward. Overcame novicey jumping for a rallying third on hurdling debut; may need further.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 +38%) I Got Stung		10 10/1(+38%)																															(2) I Got Stung 10/1, Modest form in a bumper and novice hurdle this spring, finding things happening too quickly kept to 2m when fifth of 9 in a Ffos Las novice in April. Yard know this family well but he's a likely type for later on/longer trips. Can leave hurdling debut behind if less green now, but more required as it stands.
1	1 |PU| (1) (3/1 -71%) Divilskin		3 3/1(-71%)																															(1) Divilskin 3/1, €245,000 purchase following success only start in points. Modest form at best in a couple of bumper outings last season but he's in excellent hands and could well prove a different proposition now sights are set on hurdles. Weakened on both bumper starts either side of wind surgery, but may still come good.

A comfortable winner of a point-to-point in March, NEW ORDER is an intriguing option given he swapped hands for 95,000 pounds at Tattersalls Cheltenham sales the following month. A full-brother to smart hurdler/chaser The Goffer, this son of Yeats heads the shortlist starting out under Rules in this company. Kamsinas won a Kelso bumper on his penultimate start and should also give a good account, while R S Ambush is noted too.

The betting should prove useful in assessing the chances of a few, but KAMSINAS boasted a positive profile in bumpers and could be the way to go now hurdling. Fellow hurdling debutant Divilskin is another to consider given his connections, whilst Charlie Longsdon's New Order is another to note.

Bumper winner KAMSINAS appeals most as having something to offer as a hurdler over this short a trip.

HUTCHIE gets the nod in this weak affair. A winner at Galway on his penultimate start, the Valirann chestnut performed with credit on his racecourse debut over fences, going down by three-lengths to the more experienced Read To Return. Townhill Penny and Game And Glory finished a long way behind the selection at the Co Kerry venue and they both reoppose now. First reserve Croi Corcra would be of definite interest if getting a run. She has four point-to-point wins to her name and was a good third over flights at Fairyhouse recently. Duncarrig is sure to have plenty of supporters after winning at Navan last month. While unproven at the trip, the Tony Mullins-trained six-year-old should be able to make an impact in a contest of this quality. A four-time victor in the UK and a brother to Grade 2 winner Vision Des Flos, Umndeni is an interesting contender. He ran with credit when fifth on his Irish debut at Listowel last month and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to get a lot closer now. Carrig Carol, The Great White and Sixhandsinmypockets are others for the shortlist.

The vote goes to HUTCHIE, who improved when striking over hurdles at Galway last month and duly left his previous efforts in this sphere well behind when runner-up in a maiden chase at Killarney 11 days ago.Duncarrig opened his account at the ninth attempt in a handicap hurdle at Navan and will be a threat if he takes to fences at the first attempt, while Townhill Penny is also shortlisted.

In fine form lately, having won a Galway handicap hurdle and second in a Killarney beginners' chase, HUTCHIE can score.

1	1 1st (1) (5/2 +0%) Blue Flame		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(1) Blue Flame 5/2, Has produced his best form this season on his last 2 starts, second of 10 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D a week ago. Well handicapped on old form so he's not taken lightly. Near-miss over C&D last week and 1lb lower today; 4lb well in; major player.
2	9 2nd (9) (13/2 +19%) Done Decision		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(9) Done Decision 13/2, Making all-weather debut, below form when ninth of 13 in handicap (6/1) at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Needs to get back on the up kept to this surface. Not at his best at Kempton last time but still early days and Hollie Doyle a good booking.
3	8 3rd (8) (8/1 +11%) Nubough		8 8/1(+11%)																															(8) Nubough 8/1, Course winner. Ran well when second of 12 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D 28 days ago. On a good mark but it remains eighteen runs since his last win back in 2021. Placed on last two starts, including C&D latest; Oisin Murphy booked; one to consider.
4	11 4th (11) (50/1 -79%) Nemorum		50 50/1(-79%)																															(11) Nemorum 50/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Ran better than for a while when fourth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D 28 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort. 19-race maiden; ran well over C&D four weeks ago but not sure to back it up; drawn widest.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 +0%) Cariad		8 8/1(+0%)																															(5) Cariad 8/1, Upped in grade when seventh of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 10/1) 16 days ago. Could fare better returned to this level with blinkers on 1st time. Usually seen over 1m+; new headgear needs to give her a lift but handicapper relenting.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/3 +49%) Laura's Breeze		3.333333 10/3(+49%)																															(7) Laura's Breeze 10/3, Produced her best effort when third of 10 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D a week ago, despite having been caught further back than ideal. Can build on her latest run to get off the mark. Stayed on late for 3rd over C&D last week (Blue Flame 2nd); unexposed on AW; considered.
7th	2 7th (2) (15/2 -15%) Landlordtothestars		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(2) Landlordtothestars 15/2, Followed a good run with a below-par one when seventh of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (1m, good, 9/4) 57 days ago, racing freely. Can bounce back returned to this shorter distance after a break. A win and two seconds from his five handicap runs; still has time to do better.
8th	6 8th (6) (25/1 -127%) Muy Muy Guapo		25 25/1(-127%)																															(6) Muy Muy Guapo 25/1, Unable to build on promise of previous run when seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 7/2) 20 days ago, very slowly away. On a workable mark but could do with brushing up his starts. 12-race maiden who can fluff the start; has ability but too risky for comfort.
9th	4 9th (4) (12/1 -20%) Solar Portrait		12 12/1(-20%)																															(4) Solar Portrait 12/1, Ran to similar level as previously when fourth of 14 on handicap debut at Leicester (7f, good, 33/1) 17 days ago, though fared best of those ridden prominently. More needed. Promising 4th on h'cap debut at Leicester but looked as though further than 7f would suit.
10th	10 10th (10) (33/1 -32%) Decipher		33 33/1(-32%)																															(10) Decipher 33/1, Not seen to best effect when ninth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago, denied clear run home turn. However, others still make more appeal as she switches to polytrack. Unplaced all starts but down in class and the handicapper is relenting; can do better.
11th	3 11th (3) (20/1 +0%) Ashmore		20 20/1(+0%)																															(3) Ashmore 20/1, Continued below form when tenth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (1m) 24 days ago. Needs to get back on track with cheekpieces reapplied. Big chance on his best handicap form; quiet of late but drop to Class 6 in his favour.

LTO Selection:

BLUE FLAME was only beaten a neck into second over course and distance a week ago and he can race off a 1lb lower mark here. That leaves the six-year-old 4lb well in and he merits the utmost respect as a result. Cariad is more than capable of making the frame in a race of this nature, especially as she may improve for the application of first-time blinkers. Laura's Breeze edges out Nubough to be best of the rest.

LAURA'S BREEZE did well under the circumstances when third on her all-weather debut over this C&D 7 days ago, caught further back than ideal, so she could be ready to open her account this time around. She is taken to reverse the placings with Blue Flame from when the pair met last time, while Landlordtothestars also merits consideration.

Things look in place for a big run from BLUE FLAME (nap) and he can prove too strong for Solar Portrait.

4	6 4th (6) (1.88/1 +16%) Zumaaty		1.88 1.88/1(+16%)																															(6) Zumaaty 1.88/1, Good second of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) 17 days ago, clear of rest. Took this 12 months ago so he's not taken lightly. Comfortably won this last year (heavy); arrives in similarly good form this time around.
5th	9 5th (9) (16/1 +0%) Retirement Beckons		16 16/1(+0%)																															(9) Retirement Beckons 16/1, 4-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 15 runs this year. Latest win at Carlisle in August. 28/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 10 days ago so needs to bounce back. Three wins this year (two C&D) but he hasn't been at the top of his game the last twice.
6th	11 6th (11) (14/1 +13%) Motarajel		14 14/1(+13%)																															(11) Motarajel 14/1, Below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good, 25/1) 23 days ago. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Well handicapped on form as recent as July but hasn't threatened more recently.
7th	2 7th (2) (8/1 -33%) First Greyed		8 8/1(-33%)																															(2) First Greyed 8/1, Latest win at Beverley in August. 5/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (7.2f, soft) 9 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Good third over 7f here last time and there can be optimism he'll be fine back up to 1m.
8th	4 8th (4) (7/1 +50%) Fifty Sent		7 7/1(+50%)																															(4) Fifty Sent 7/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Redcar (8f, good) 23 days ago, very slowly away. Had an excuse last time and he's now 2lb lower than when second over C&D (soft) in July.
9th	10 9th (10) (50/1 -79%) Zalicia Fire		50 50/1(-79%)																															(10) Zalicia Fire 50/1, Below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 22/1) 17 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Robyn Brisland with more needed. Lightly raced 3yo who has dropped down weights, but hard to fancy on this year's evidence.
10th	14 10th (14) (50/1 -150%) My Boy Teddy		50 50/1(-150%)																															(14) My Boy Teddy 50/1, 7/2 and hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Ms Claire O'Connell when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 10 days ago. It's very early days with this yard but he's shown little across his six starts.
11th	8 11th (8) (25/1 -79%) Keeponbelieving		25 25/1(-79%)																															(8) Keeponbelieving 25/1, 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 5 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good) 79 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Lightly raced; some firm pointers in pedigree that she could be suited by testing ground.
12th	13 12th (13) (100/1 -100%) Royal Countess		100 100/1(-100%)																															(13) Royal Countess 100/1, Course winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft, 66/1) 17 days ago, slowly away. Has work to do. Returns to the scene of her three wins but arrives with something to prove.
13th	3 13th (3) (80/1 -142%) Rains Of Castamere		80 80/1(-142%)																															(3) Rains Of Castamere 80/1, 14/1, below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft). Off 12 months. First run for yard after leaving Ann Duffield with his fitness to prove. Struggled to get competitive off lowly hurdle mark in 2022; makes yard debut after absence.
14th	5 14th (5) (22/1 -120%) Ben Asker		22 22/1(-120%)																															(5) Ben Asker 22/1, Course winner. 6/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good) when last seen, faring best of those ridden prominently. Off 13 months. Rejoined in-form yard after leaving Katie Scott. No forlorn hope. Absent since last August but he's a two-time course winner and trainer is in fine form.

LTO Selection:

Last year's winner Zumaaty returns in fine form and should go well again off a 5lb higher mark than 12 months ago, while Temper Trap won a division of this race in 2021 and sneaks in off top weight after a 1lb drop for placing at Hamilton recently. First Greyed is interesting stepping up in trip but preference is for BANNER ROAD, whose sole victory came over this C&D and Jim Goldie's filly hinted her turn was near again when a neck second at Hamilton.

ZUMAATY arrives in good nick and captured this event last year so he edges the vote in an open-looking contest. First Greyed is weighted to have a big say too and next on the list ahead of C&D winner Temper Trap. Fellow C&D scorer Banner Road completes the shortlist.

The in-form ZUMAATY won this comfortably on heavy ground last season and can land back-to-back runnings.

1	9 1st (9) (22/1 +33%) Thahab Ifraj		22 22/1(+33%)																															(9) Thahab Ifraj 22/1, Won over hurdles at Fontwell last summer but nothing to shout about in this sphere since and latest Flat effort was also below par. Plenty to find on form. Nearly won at Bath in July but tailed off under both codes since then.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 +31%) Nibras Gold		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(3) Nibras Gold 11/4, Won in tidy fashion from the front at Ffos Las in May and hasn't finished any worse than third in 4 outings since, again running to form when second of 6 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Warwick (21f, good) 17 days ago. Others are perhaps better treated but he's not discounted with cheekpieces back on. Continued to run well since his win in May; 2m5f seemed to stretch him last time.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/2 +17%) Copshill Lad		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(6) Copshill Lad 5/2, Yet to really build on the promise of his impressive bumper success but would have finished a clear second when falling late at Fakenham when last seen and worth another try at handicapping after a summer break. In the process of running his best race yet over hurdles when falling late on at Fakenham.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 -29%) Coolnaugh Haze		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(2) Coolnaugh Haze 9/2, Improved when making a winning start for new yard at Worcester (2m, good to soft) in August and ran respectably from a 10 lb higher mark at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft, 7/2) 9 days ago. Can give another good account. Winning start for this yard and following defeat came in a good Class 2 contest.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 -230%) Pop The Champagne		33 33/1(-230%)																															(5) Pop The Champagne 33/1, Bumper winner who was well placed to land 4-timer in novice hurdles at around 2m for Fergal O'Brien last summer. May well have won at Stratford if jumping better on her penultimate hurdles outing but proved far too free at Uttoxeter last month. Comes with risks attached. Probably in good enough form to make presence felt should the ground remain good.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/1 -6%) Fat Sam		9 9/1(-6%)																															(4) Fat Sam 9/1, Took a heavy fall over fences at Newton Abbot on his penultimate outing and was perhaps still feeling those effects when down the field at Uttoxeter last time. Others are easier to fancy on his return to hurdling. Below par chasing last time but after a fall; final hurdle run in May was positive.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/2 +36%) Cabrakan		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(7) Cabrakan 9/2, Successful twice last winter, latterly a Hereford handicap off this mark in February. Back to form when third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good to soft, 7/2) 9 days ago and isn't taken lightly if usual errors don't prove too much of a hindrance. Consistent in defeat of late and won't be too far away once again.
8th	8 8th (8) (28/1 -40%) Lucky Lover Boy		28 28/1(-40%)																															(8) Lucky Lover Boy 28/1, Won 4 times in the first half of last season but hasn't fired over hurdles or fences this term and needs a revival. This time last year he was in a terrific run of form over hurdles; struggling at present.

LTO Selection:

---

Having bolted up at Worcester on his penultimate start, COOLNAUGH HAZE was far from disgraced in a class 2 event at Market Rasen the following month. Eased 1lb in the ratings and down in grade, he can get back into the winning groove, possibly at the main expense of Nibras Gold. Pop The Champagne and Fat Sam can battle it out for third.

COOLNAUGH HAZE showed improved form when making a winning debut for James Owen in August and wasn't beaten too far from a much higher mark at Southwell last time, so he appeals as the most solid proposition ahead of Cabrakan, who is more than capable from this kind of mark provided his jumping holds up, whilst Copshill Lad is also intriguing on his second handicap start.

James Owen's COOLNAUGH HAZE appeals most after running well in a better race at Market Rasen 12 days ago.

9	9 (9) (80/1 +0%) Sam's Xpress		80 80/1(+0%)																															(9) Sam's Xpress 80/1, 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 13 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Dual AW winner in the spring but hard to fancy on recent efforts; mark quickly coming down.
1	7 1st (7) (12/1 +52%) Saturn Seven		12 12/1(+52%)																															(7) Saturn Seven 12/1, Winner at Limerick in June. 9/1 and visored for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Cork (6f, soft) 16 days ago. Struggling for form lately. Maiden winner over 7f at Limerick; behind Linger For Longer when sixth at Cork last month.
2	16 2nd (16) (5/1 +44%) Art Of Unity		5 5/1(+44%)																															(16) Art Of Unity 5/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 8/1, good length third of 20 to Rathbranchurch in handicap at Navan (5.8f, soft) 8 days ago. Back to form off reduced mark lately; third of 20 to Rathbranchurch at Navan last week.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 +17%) Rathbranchurch		5 5/1(+17%)																															(2) Rathbranchurch 5/1, 7/1, career best when winning 20-runner handicap at Navan (5.8f, soft) 8 days ago, driven out. Should go well again. Second to Keke in Bellewstown maiden before winning 20-runner handicap at Navan last week.
4	1 4th (1) (14/1 -100%) Elda		14 14/1(-100%)																															(1) Elda 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Tipperary in August. Twelfth of 16 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D (soft) 19 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Beat decent sort in Tipperary maiden; well beaten in premier handicap here last month.
5th	14 5th (14) (16/1 +0%) Conversant		16 16/1(+0%)																															(14) Conversant 16/1, 22/1, first run since leaving Denis Hogan when below form 7½ lengths twelfth of 20 to Rathbranchurch in handicap at Navan (5.8f, soft) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has a bit to prove. Mudlark well held last twice; cheekpieces replace blinkers on second yard start.
6th	17 6th (17) (14/1 +0%) Stanhope		14 14/1(+0%)																															(17) Stanhope 14/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable sixth of 19 in handicap at this course (6f, soft, 28/1) 5 days ago. On a fair mark if he can build on that. Hard to predict these days; good run when sixth of 19 over 6f here on Saturday; 4lb wrong.
7th	5 7th (5) (11/2 +0%) Keke		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(5) Keke 11/2, Career best when winning 6-runner minor event at Bellewstown (5f, heavy, 9/4) 15 days ago by ¾ length from Rathbranchurch, pushed out. Makes handicap debut. Solid claims. Handled heavy ground when beating Rathbranchurch in Bellewstown maiden; now 4lb worse off.
8th	8 8th (8) (11/4 +17%) Mymomentintime		2.75 11/4(+17%)																															(8) Mymomentintime 11/4, C&D winner. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D (soft) 5 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Decisive winner of this last year and good third in higher grade C&D handicap on Saturday.
9th	13 9th (13) (10/1 +0%) Pretty Boy Floyd		10 10/1(+0%)																															(13) Pretty Boy Floyd 10/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 16 in handicap (14/1) at Cork (6f, soft) 16 days ago, first home in group. Blinkers back on. One to be interested in. Two years winless but likes it here and softer the better; hopeful signs lately.
10th	6 10th (6) (22/1 -144%) Linger For Longer		22 22/1(-144%)																															(6) Linger For Longer 22/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Winner at Cork in July. 12/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Cork (6f, soft) 16 days ago. Off the mark in 6f handicap at Cork in July and fourth back there last time; handles soft.
11th	11 11th (11) (80/1 -60%) Hastily		80 80/1(-60%)																															(11) Hastily 80/1, Latest win at Chepstow in August. Seventeenth of 18 in handicap at this course (8f, soft, 40/1) 19 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Others more persuasive. Well beaten on softer surface since winning over 5f on fast ground at Chepstow.
12th	12 12th (12) (28/1 +15%) Ballysax Lil' Mick		28 28/1(+15%)																															(12) Ballysax Lil' Mick 28/1, Good fourth of 8 in maiden claimer at Dundalk (6f, 12/1) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to up his game. Led and ran well to a point in turf/AW maidens lately; cheekpieces fitted.
13th	15 13th (15) (25/1 +62%) Takana		25 25/1(+62%)																															(15) Takana 25/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, fourth of 10 in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, heavy) 14 days ago. Up against it. Bellewstown 2yo winner and ran well on successive days there last month but more required.

Off 12 months. First run for yard after leaving Tim Easterby. Likely to need the run. Five-time winner over 6f for Tim Easterby and goes on soft but has been off almost a year.

LTO Selection:

MYMOMENTINTIME won this race last year off a 9lb lower perch and looks set for another bold bid today. He has been knocking on the door all year and deserves a change in luck after another near-miss when third over this track and trip on Saturday. The biggest danger could be fellow C&D scorer Art Of Unity, who is now 25lb lower his last winning mark and he dropped a big hint his turn was near again when a one-length third at Navan last week. The booking of Colin Keane catches the eye on Not Too Real Bad, who has also slipped to a fair mark, while Rathbranchurch and Keke add further spice to a tricky contest.

Having been first home in his group at Cork last time, the well treated PRETTY BOY FLOYD is worth chancing with blinkers refitted. The lightly raced Keke looks a big danger and Mymomentintime is worth considering after a creditable third over C&D last week.

With confidence boosted after winning a 20-runner handicap at Navan, RATHBRANCHURCH can turn around Bellewstown form with Keke

1	10 1st (10) (15/8 +25%) Aviewofthestars		1.875 15/8(+25%)																															(10) Aviewofthestars 15/8, Promising individual who showed much-improved form when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, good) on debut for Fergal O'Brien 18 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and may have more to offer yet. Made a smooth winning start for new connections at Plumpton (2m4f, good) 18 days ago.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/3 +52%) Lady Gwen		3.333333 10/3(+52%)																															(4) Lady Gwen 10/3, Improved to make a winning reappearance for her new yard at Stratford (18.5f) in July and shaped better than distance beaten when fifth at same course (16.3f) the following month. Had a wind operation since and not ruled out. Won yard debut at Stratford in July; flopped one month later and was given wind surgery.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 +56%) East End Girl		7 7/1(+56%)																															(3) East End Girl 7/1, Won on level and over hurdles for Lucy Wadham but below par on debut for new yard at Chester last month. Fairly treated if back to form returned to this discipline, though. Didn't progress as hurdler last term (won in November) and perhaps best watched this time.
5th	11 5th (11) (20/1 +20%) Passing Kate		20 20/1(+20%)																															(11) Passing Kate 20/1, No real impact in 4 starts over hurdles for Grace Harris last term but has been given a chance by the handicapper and is worth monitoring in the market on debut for new yard here. Left Grace Harris; no solid claims, so best watched unless there's been a big move for her.
6th	5 6th (5) (33/1 -50%) La Breille		33 33/1(-50%)																															(5) La Breille 33/1, Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at Fakenham (16f) in October but subsequent efforts in handicap company left much to be desired. Something to prove on return. Won juvenile hurdle at Fakenham (2m, good) last October but three heavy defeats since.
7th	7 7th (7) (40/1 -21%) Petite Souris		40 40/1(-21%)																															(7) Petite Souris 40/1, Shaped better than first time up over hurdles when fourth at Market Rasen (16.6f) in March but folded tamely at Hexham the following month and needs to find improvement on handicap debut/return. There has been a whiff of ability twice, alongside two heavy defeats; handicap debut.
8th	9 8th (9) (15/2 +6%) Sawpit Sienna		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(9) Sawpit Sienna 15/2, Successful twice during the first half of last season and largely acquitted herself well off higher marks thereafter. Has won after a break before and returns on a workable mark. 3-22 over hurdles, latest win at Taunton (2m, soft; off 3lb lower) in January.
9th	12 9th (12) (12/1 +64%) Dancing Dani		12 12/1(+64%)																															(12) Dancing Dani 12/1, Yet to score under Rules and recent efforts in this sphere make her hard to fancy. 1 lb out of the handicap. Has gone the wrong way under rules; way down the weights but others have to be preferred.
10th	1 10th (1) (12/1 -33%) Karannelle		12 12/1(-33%)																															(1) Karannelle 12/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022 but she did run her best race of the current campaign when narrowly denied by Saddlers Quest at Newton Abbot (16.8f) last month. Respected with Sean Bowen booked. Quite tricky to win with but pretty consistent; beaten a neck by Saddlers Quest last time.
6	6 |DQ| (6) (8/1 -23%) Saddlers Quest		8 8/1(-23%)																															(6) Saddlers Quest 8/1, Arrives at the top of her game after completing the hat-trick at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago by neck from Karannelle. 5 lb higher now but another bold bid is likely. 9yo who's never been better, winning last three starts, latest despite trouble in running.

LTO Selection:

---

IMPERIAL JADE impressed when making all at Chepstow when last seen and can make further progress now she tackles handicap company. Lillie Pinchin has already built up a good rapport with the Charlie Longsdon-trained filly and an opening mark of 99 looks fair. Karannelle has more experience at this sort of level and is feared most, while Saddlers Quest also commands respect.

AVIEWOFTHESTARS upped her game significantly when making a winning debut for new connections at Plumpton last month and remains with potential. She can follow up in the finale. Saddlers Quest and Karannelle rate the principal dangers.

Calculations are dominated by AVIEWOFTHESTARS (nap), Saddlers Quest and Imperial Jade, who are preferred in that order.

Dam (h108), 2¼m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Strong Pursuit. Obvious claims. By a top sire but was unsold for 9,500euros as a 3yo; hugely respected from this yard.
2	4 2nd (4) (1.1/1 +51%) Cappucino		1.1 1.1/1(+51%)																															(4) Cappucino 1.1/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/4, 4¼ lengths fourth of 10 to The Yellow Clay in listed bumper at Limerick (16.2f, soft) when last seen. Off 6 months. Could have a race like this in him. Third in a Limerick Listed bumper in March; a repeat of that would see him go close.

Promise on debut when 4th in a Wexford bumper (80/1); can go well with improvement likely.
5th	9 5th (9) (50/1 -52%) Yorkshire Escape		50 50/1(-52%)																															(9) Yorkshire Escape 50/1, Poor hurdler. Last of 12 in bumper at this C&D (good to soft, 33/1) 53 days ago. Has been soundly beaten in bumpers, including over C&D; others preferred.

7th	3 7th (3) (150/1 -200%) Te Deum		150 150/1(-200%)																															(3) Te Deum 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 18/1, tenth of 11 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 13 days ago. Makes bumper debut. Beaten 51l in a Gowran maiden hurdle on recent debut, so loads of improvement needed.
8th	6 8th (6) (250/1 -150%) Crinaloo Flyer		250 250/1(-150%)																															(6) Crinaloo Flyer 250/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 250/1, last of 6 in bumper at Clonmel (16.8f, heavy) on bumper debut 14 days ago. Well beaten both starts and best to look elsewhere.
5	5 |PU| (5) (33/1 -50%) Go On Zahra		33 33/1(-50%)																															(5) Go On Zahra 33/1, Al Wukair gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners on Flat, including useful winner around 1m in France Sunday Nectar. Dam race twice on Flat in France. Bred for the Flat and stamina could be stretched on this ground.

LTO Selection:

---

Cappucino has some strong form to his name and looks the one to beat with Maxine O'Sullivan aboard. Last seen finishing fourth in a Listed bumper at Limerick in March, he may just need this run. Willie Mullins introduces newcomer Where's Nanny, with this Walk In The Park bay sure to have plenty of supporters. Out of Loughaderra Dame, who was placed in Listed company over flights, it'll come as a surprise if she is not involved towards the business end. For a selection, it might be worth siding with BALLINEARLA GIRL. She ran a fine race to finish fourth on debut at Wexford in August and was a place behind subsequent winner Meet My Loreley. Likely to have learned plenty at Bettyville, the Eoin Doyle-trained bay will be ridden by capable amateur Emily Cody, who claims a valuable 7lb. Beaten by just a neck over the course and distance in June, Barton Snow has definite claims, while newcomer Go On Zahra is another that warrants respect.

A thin bumper and it's hard to get away from WHERE'S NANNY starting out for Willie Mullins. The experienced pair Barton Snow and Cappucino are feared.

CAPPUCINO (nap) has the form in the book, with three solid bumper runs, including in a Limerick Listed when last seen, so looks solid.

1	2 1st (2) (13/2 +28%) Fantastic Fox		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(2) Fantastic Fox 13/2, Wasted no time getting back to form when fifth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 14/1) 33 days ago, staying on inside final 1f. More needed to snap a losing run going back to 2021. Latest 1m Kempton fifth was creditable but he'll need to build on it to snap losing run.
2	7 2nd (7) (16/1 -33%) Roman Dynasty		16 16/1(-33%)																															(7) Roman Dynasty 16/1, Latest win at Nottingham in June. 6/4, again ran well when second of 6 in handicap at this C&D 40 days ago. Should continue in form. Engaged 4.22 Nottingham Wednesday. Had a consistent spell, including second over C&D latest; non-runner Nottingham yesterday.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 +25%) Urban Sprawl		6 6/1(+25%)																															(4) Urban Sprawl 6/1, 11/4, proved a let-down when sixth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, heavy) 16 days ago. Makes all-weather debut and will need to leave that effort well behind. Boasts some strong form in first half of year but gone cold of late; AW debut.
4	3 4th (3) (9/1 -13%) Court Of Session		9 9/1(-13%)																															(3) Court Of Session 9/1, C&D winner. Ran poorly after 9 weeks off when sixth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D when last seen in June. Each-way claims if the first-time cheekpieces have a positive effect. Below par over C&D in June but is a dual C&D winner who goes well fresh; cheekpieces on.
5th	9 5th (9) (13/2 +19%) Band Of Steel		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(9) Band Of Steel 13/2, Ran badly back on turf when ninth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft, 11/1) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. In decent form this summer but latest Yarmouth run was disappointing; back down in trip.
6th	5 6th (5) (12/1 -9%) Pjanoo		12 12/1(-9%)																															(5) Pjanoo 12/1, Winner at Windsor in August. Ran creditably in a muddling event back up in trip when fourth of 5 in handicap (9/4) at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. Makes polytrack debut. Must improve. Faded late on over 1m2f latest and treated as if still in good form.
7th	10 7th (10) (15/2 -150%) Turquoise Diamond		7.5 15/2(-150%)																															(10) Turquoise Diamond 15/2, 2 wins from 5 runs this year, latest when producing a strong finish in 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 5/2) 13 days ago, leading well inside final 1f. Makes all-weather debut and he's fancied to feature. Pair of 7f wins last month and could be more to come at 1m.
8th	1 8th (1) (14/1 -17%) Baltimore Boy		14 14/1(-17%)																															(1) Baltimore Boy 14/1, Latest win at Kempton in August. 11/1, didn't appear to get home upped in trip when sixth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) 13 days ago, left behind approaching final 1f. No surprise to see him back at 1m. Dual AW winner; not at best on turf latest but he's largely consistent on AW.
9th	6 9th (6) (33/1 +0%) Cry Havoc		33 33/1(+0%)																															(6) Cry Havoc 33/1, Course winner. 40/1, ran poorly after just 6 days off when last of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 29 days ago. Needs to bounce back quickly. Held on Tapeta lately but well treated if return to Polytrack (3 wins here) sparks revival.
10th	8 10th (8) (2/1 +50%) Leadenhall		2 2/1(+50%)																															(8) Leadenhall 2/1, Winner at Haydock in August. Looked unlucky not to win when second of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 10/11) 48 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Visor on 1st time. Expected to be bang there. Won and second in 1m turf handicaps in August; may have more to come; visored first time.

LTO Selection:

---

The hat-trick seeking Turquoise Diamond has to be respected but the step up in grade is a slight concern and preference is for LEADENHALL. Ralph Beckett's gelding got off the mark at Haydock two starts ago and is only 1lb higher than when a close second at Newmarket on his most recent outing. Fantastic Fox appeared to be coming back to form in a valuable event at Kempton a month ago and is another to consider.

LEADENHALL looked unlucky not to make it back-to-back victories at Newmarket just under 7 weeks ago, so Ralph Beckett's progressive 3-y-o is fancied to make amends fitted with a first-time visor at the expense of Turquoise Diamond, who arrives chasing a hat-trick and could have even more to offer. Court of Session and Roman Dynasty can fight out minor honours.

The step up to 1m could see TURQUOISE DIAMOND pull out some more improvement so she's taken to defy the handicapper again.

1	7 1st (7) (10/1 +0%) Ebony Maw		10 10/1(+0%)																															(7) Ebony Maw 10/1, One win from 26 Flat runs, which was gained back in 2020. 10/1, creditable 3½ lengths second of 9 to Jaminoz in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, soft) 10 days ago. Live each-way candidate. Placed on his last two starts but hard to win with and may come up short once again.
2	5 2nd (5) (8/1 +20%) Tafsir		8 8/1(+20%)																															(5) Tafsir 8/1, Three wins from 14 runs this year, the latest at Musselburgh in August. Below form third of 6 in handicap (7/1) at Chester (14.4f, heavy) 12 days ago. Opposable with conditions likely to be testing here, too. Three wins this summer; ran better than the distance beaten suggests latest; ground a ?.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 +33%) Clansman		2 2/1(+33%)																															(1) Clansman 2/1, Won 9-runner handicap (4/1) at this course (15f, soft) 9 days ago. More on his plate under a penalty but he clearly likes it here and conditions will not be a problem. Won this race in 2022; fine record on slow ground; 1m7f win here last week; big chance.
4	4 4th (4) (9/2 -13%) Jaminoz		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(4) Jaminoz 9/2, Course winner. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (4/1) at Hamilton (12.1f, soft) 10 days ago by 3½ lengths from Ebony Maw, forging clear. This is more demanding under a penalty but he has to be taken seriously in current form. Chasing a hat-trick after two easy wins at Hamilton; another career best required to win.
5th	9 5th (9) (10/1 -43%) Kells		10 10/1(-43%)																															(9) Kells 10/1, One win from 29 Flat runs. Winner at Thirsk in September. 7/4, third of 5 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, soft) 13 days ago. Up in trip and he's likely to find one or two too good. Easy winner at Thirsk last month (1m4f, soft); beaten twice since and others are stronger.
6th	6 6th (6) (15/2 -88%) Kittykarma		7.5 15/2(-88%)																															(6) Kittykarma 15/2, Winner at Thirsk in August. Good second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 7/1) 6 days ago, just failing. Has form on soft ground (untried on heavy) and she's one to consider. Done well since the cheekpieces went on; 2lb well in; likely to stay; heavy ground a query.
7th	8 7th (8) (18/1 +36%) Golden Valour		18 18/1(+36%)																															(8) Golden Valour 18/1, Temperamental sort. Two wins from 44 Flat runs. Respectable 8 lengths fifth of 9 to Jaminoz in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, soft, 16/1) 10 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time blinkers triggering some improvement. Consistent this year but 0-28 on turf and the change of headgear isn't enough to tempt.
8th	2 8th (2) (13/2 +7%) Don't Look Back		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(2) Don't Look Back 13/2, Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, soft, 11/1) 8 days ago. Very much one to consider now dipping into 0-65 company and faced with a stiffer test. Easy win on heavy ground in April; stamina to prove but not on a bad mark; each-way claims.
9th	3 9th (3) (28/1 -100%) Highlighter		28 28/1(-100%)																															(3) Highlighter 28/1, Last of 4 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 5/2) when last seen. Off 113 days and he's probably worth taking on for all conditions will suit. Not kicked on in handicaps just yet but a break may have helped & he'll handle conditions.

LTO Selection:

---

JAMINOZ arrives here in fine form, seeking a hat-trick after consecutive wins at Hamilton, and he gets the nod for Jim Goldie. The four-year-old seemed to get better the further he went over 1m4f last time and he appears likely to mound a bold bid in attempting to defy a 5lb penalty for that three and a half-length success. Kittykarma makes most appeal of the rest after shaping as if this extra yardage would suit when just held over the extended 1m4f at Newcastle last time, while Clansman is also respected in his bid to follow up a victory over 1m7f here last week.

Having shaped with encouragement at Catterick the last twice, DON'T LOOK BACK could be the answer now pitched into a 0-65 contest and moving up in trip. He could have most to fear from the sole 3-y-o in the line-up, Kittykarma, who was just touched off at Newcastle six days ago and looks dangerous off the same mark (due to go up 2 lb). The hat-trick seeking Jaminoz is third choice ahead of Clansman.

With underfoot conditions to suit, last year's winner CLANSMAN is taken to defy top weight at the main expense of Don't Look Back.

1	9 1st (9) (17/2 +6%) Creme Chantilly		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(9) Creme Chantilly 17/2, Made her second start a winning one over C&D last year but hasn't really fired in handicaps this term and has a fair bit to prove despite sliding mark. C&D novice win last October but has found life tough in handicaps this time round.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/2 +0%) Lunarscape		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(2) Lunarscape 11/2, Returned to form from out of the blue when second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 7 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. High draw will mean more is required here. Back to form in a tongue-tie when second on Lingfield AW last week; drawn widest; player.
3	11 3rd (11) (10/1 -25%) Got No Dollars		10 10/1(-25%)																															(11) Got No Dollars 10/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. On a workable mark if able to build on that. No win since early 2022 and recent efforts don't point to him snapping his losing run now.
4	1 4th (1) (7/1 +42%) Always Fearless		7 7/1(+42%)																															(1) Always Fearless 7/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. 20/1, tenth of 15 in minor event at Doncaster (8f, good) 25 days ago. Not fully discounted back in a handicap from 3 lb higher mark. Well held on turf latest but won on AW at Wolverhampton previously; former course scorer.
5th	5 5th (5) (17/2 +6%) Haughty		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(5) Haughty 17/2, Winner at Salisbury in August. 25/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 43 days ago. Bit more needed from this mark. Won a 1m Class 6 on turf in August; fair fifth of 13 on AW at Kempton since.
6th	6 6th (6) (4/1 +27%) Velvet Crush		4 4/1(+27%)																															(6) Velvet Crush 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 10 in minor event (10/1) at Kempton (8f) 20 days ago Blinkers on 1st time. Type to better in handicaps if able to cut out slow starts. Yet to build on debut but early days and has modest mark now handicapping in blinkers.
7th	7 7th (7) (4/1 -33%) Al Tarfa		4 4/1(-33%)																															(7) Al Tarfa 4/1, Bumped into thriving rival when second of 10 in handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 22 days ago, left with lot to do. Going the right way and makes plenty of appeal. Maiden but his seconds in 1m AW h'caps the last twice suggest he can put that right soon.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 -317%) Brown Mouse		50 50/1(-317%)																															(8) Brown Mouse 50/1, In frame 6 times at Les Landes this year, including when 3¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Clear Man last time. Doesn't look well treated having first start on the mainland since January 2021. 0-23, with last 16 runs coming on Jersey; new stable in form but betting the best guide.
9th	3 9th (3) (17/2 +15%) Hostelry		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(3) Hostelry 17/2, 3 wins from 13 runs this year. 3/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft) 29 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Most reliable sort for one at this level and should go well again. On a hat-trick after two turf wins; acts on AW; needs considering under Hollie Doyle.
10th	10 10th (10) (40/1 +39%) Dicko The Legend		40 40/1(+39%)																															(10) Dicko The Legend 40/1, Looked virtually unrideable when pulled up on his stable debut at Bath (8f, soft) 10 days ago and is very hard to make a case for. Fair form as 2yo, but disappointing this year; has lots to prove.
11th	4 11th (4) (12/1 +52%) Hurricane Kiko		12 12/1(+52%)																															(4) Hurricane Kiko 12/1, C&D winner last season and produced his best effort this year when second over C&D in the summer. 22/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 59 days ago, doing too much too soon. Needs a couple of these to falter. C&D winner; also second over C&D in July; poor at Kempton since but can do better here.

LTO Selection:

---

Runner-up on his last two outings at Lingfield, AL TARFA deserves a change in luck and this looks like as good an opportunity as any to break the maiden at the ninth time of asking. Hostelry arrives on a hat-trick and is likely to enter calculations, despite not having won on the all-weather, while Velvet Crush must be of interest on his handicap debut for esteemed connections. Always Fearless and Lunarscape are capable of being in the mix.

AL TARFA has only been beaten by one of the most progressive handicappers in the country on his last 2 outings and surely will take plenty of beating without a rival of that calibre in opposition this time. Hostelry is a really likeable mare and she should give another good account attempting to follow up from her Carlisle win, with the Gosdens' Velvet Crush also interesting on her handicap debut.

Having shaped well the last twice AL TARFA may be ready to land a first win. Hostelry can follow him home.

1	9 1st (9) (9/4 +10%) The Waiting Game		2.25 9/4(+10%)																															(9) The Waiting Game 9/4, Been a revelation since switched to sprinting, bagging her third success over this C&D when readily taking 13-runner handicap earlier this month. 8 lb higher now but is the one to beat nonetheless. Revelation lately, easily completing four-timer over C&D; can make it five in a row.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 +17%) Cuban Breeze		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(5) Cuban Breeze 15/2, Course winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Others preferred. Not an obvious one on recent form but well treated if Hollie Doyle gets a tune out of her.
3	3 3rd (3) (18/1 -157%) Champagne Sarah		18 18/1(-157%)																															(3) Champagne Sarah 18/1, Dual winner earlier in summer who got back on track when fourth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft, 9/2) 22 days ago, finishing well. Remains fairly treated and is one for shortlist. Ran on for a good fourth of 11 on turf latest; likely to be on the premises again.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 +0%) Alpha Zulu		4 4/1(+0%)																															(4) Alpha Zulu 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Kempton in March. 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Warrants respect. Unexposed sort who shaped well on recent 7f Kempton handicap debut, fading late; player.
5th	8 5th (8) (13/2 +46%) Dashing Dick		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(8) Dashing Dick 13/2, Latest win at Newmarket in August. Eighth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) 19 days ago. Others more persuasive. Below par since 6f Newmarket win in August and he's 0-13 on AW.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 -133%) Beelzebub		28 28/1(-133%)																															(6) Beelzebub 28/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in April. 40/1, first run since leaving James Ferguson when good fifth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 22 days ago, running on. Each-way claims. Dual AW winner who made a sound start for his new yard when fifth on turf recently.
7th	7 7th (7) (50/1 -25%) Bell Shot		50 50/1(-25%)																															(7) Bell Shot 50/1, 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Work to do in first-time visor. Useful at best but struggled lately, including two outings for new yard; visor added.
8th	10 8th (10) (25/1 -79%) Hiatus		25 25/1(-79%)																															(10) Hiatus 25/1, Respectable 2¾ lengths third of 13 to The Waiting Game in handicap (22/1) at this C&D 12 days ago, left with too much to do. Not out of things. Third of 13 to The Waiting Game over C&D latest but that rival may be too strong again.
9th	1 9th (1) (5/2 +75%) Tolstoy		2.5 5/2(+75%)																															(1) Tolstoy 5/2, Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Latest win at Brighton in September. 5/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, soft) 21 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Ran away with a 6f Brighton handicap last month but below that level in two runs since.

LTO Selection:

THE WAITING GAME is in the winning groove at present and it is difficult to see that stopping with the form she is in, despite an 8lb rise on this occasion. Two from two aboard, David Propert returning to the saddle is another plus and she should have too much for the likes of Kit Gabriel, who bounced back to winning ways with a strong performance at Wolverhampton last month, and Alpha Zulu.

It's hard to get away from THE WAITING GAME, who won with plenty in hand here last time. She can extend her winning run. Champagne Sarah and Kit Gabriel are feared most,

A further 8lb rise may not be enough to stop the thriving THE WAITING GAME as she had lots in hand over C&D last time and is well drawn.

2	1 2nd (1) (1.88/1 -7%) Bluebells Boy		1.88 1.88/1(-7%)																															(1) Bluebells Boy 1.88/1, C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at this course (7f, 5/1) 21 days ago. Going through a good spell at present and he can make his presence felt. C&D winner who shaped as if this return to 6f may suit when fifth over 7f here latest.

5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 -17%) Lady Gazelle		7 7/1(-17%)																															(3) Lady Gazelle 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Promising fourth at Southwell in August but could only manage tenth of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft) 28 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Fourth on 6f AW handicap debut; possibly unsuited by soft turf when well held since.
6th	5 6th (5) (8/1 +20%) Cloudy Breeze		8 8/1(+20%)																															(5) Cloudy Breeze 8/1, Much improved when runner-up at Windsor in the summer but hasn't replicated that effort either start since, including when fourth of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm, 28/1) 38 days ago. Others preferred. Went close on turf in June but below par since and no impact in three previous AW outings.
7th	9 7th (9) (50/1 +24%) Secret Tryst		50 50/1(+24%)																															(9) Secret Tryst 50/1, Unreliable sort. First run since leaving William Knight when last of 9 in handicap (50/1) at this course (7f), very slowly away. Off 6 months. Something to find on form. Exposed maiden who is yet to make frame; can only watch back from six months off.
8th	10 8th (10) (5/1 +50%) Destiny's Spirit		5 5/1(+50%)																															(10) Destiny's Spirit 5/1, Hasn't gone on from her return in April, again below form when sixth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good, 12/1) 17 days ago. In more severe headgear now. Has rarely threatened in 2023 but Hollie Doyle won on her last year; blinkered first time.
9th	7 9th (7) (25/1 -56%) Mick Says No		25 25/1(-56%)																															(7) Mick Says No 25/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Bath (5.7f, firm). Off 139 days. Others more persuasive. No significant impact in handicaps in the spring; first run for 139 days.

Despite being restless in the stalls, ARLECCHINO'S GIFT ran his best race for some time when narrowly denied over C&D recently, and compensation may await the four-year-old on this occasion. Sumac may still be a maiden though 11 starts, but he has shown plenty of ability on several outings this season, whereas course winner Bluebells Boy is one to note on the rise in distance.

BLUEBELLS BOY has managed to string several respectable efforts together recently and he appeals as the most solid proposition in a weak contest. Jumira Bridge hinted at a revival last time and has fallen to a tempting mark, whilst Arlecchino's Gift can also be involved if able to back up his C&D second.

In a race where very few arrive with compelling claims the suggestion is former C&D scorer BLUEBELLS BOY.

1	8 1st (8) (9/2 +44%) Endless Season		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(8) Endless Season 9/2, In-and-out form of late, lesser effort when seventh of 8 in minor event at Brighton (1m, good, 9/1) 64 days ago. Others more persuasive as she drops back in trip. Placed in Class 6 classified events in June but below par since; back down in trip here.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/3 -33%) Q Twenty Boy		3.333333 10/3(-33%)																															(3) Q Twenty Boy 10/3, Back to winning ways in 10-runner handicap (10/1) at this C&D 12 days ago, edging ahead last ½f. Remains well treated on old form and he can follow up. Back to winning ways over C&D latest; only up 2lb but not an obvious one to follow up.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/2 -10%) Giddy Aunt		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(1) Giddy Aunt 11/2, Followed good run with a below-par one back on firmer ground when last of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Bath (5.7f, firm) 36 days ago. Capable of getting involved off her current mark. Second at Bath in August; might have been unsuited by quicker ground there since; claims.
4	4 4th (4) (66/1 -136%) Kodi Hawk		66 66/1(-136%)																															(4) Kodi Hawk 66/1, Little impact in 3 starts so far, ninth of 10 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f, 200/1) 2 weeks ago. Much more required as he drops back down in trip for handicap debut. Poor form at best in three starts; more chance in handicaps but can't make strong case.
5th	7 5th (7) (5/2 +17%) Time Patrol		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(7) Time Patrol 5/2, Left previous efforts well behind when opening account in 13-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 100/1) 38 days ago, leading dying strides. Could have more to offer now he's up and running. No obvious fluke about 100-1 Windsor handicap debut win; can follow up under Rossa Ryan.
6th	9 6th (9) (14/1 +30%) Sir Sedric		14 14/1(+30%)																															(9) Sir Sedric 14/1, Nineteen runs since sole success back in 2021. Below form last 2 starts, ninth of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 36 days ago. Looks to be vulnerable once more. Sole win from 30 starts came nearly two years ago; best to look elsewhere again.
7th	6 7th (6) (5/1 -43%) Nahwand		5 5/1(-43%)																															(6) Nahwand 5/1, Run best excused when eleventh of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 12 days ago, soon behind having stumbled badly leaving stalls. Continues to fall in the weights but more needed to take advantage. Ran his best race over 6f in March but hasn't lived up to that early promise.
8th	2 8th (2) (18/1 +45%) Poseidon Prince		18 18/1(+45%)																															(2) Poseidon Prince 18/1, Has struggled for form this year, eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 28 days ago. Others preferred. Maiden who is hard to fancy on recent handicap efforts.

LTO Selection:

---

Q TWENTY BOY bounced back to form when scoring over C&D last time and this looks a good opportunity to follow up that success. Mark Usher's runner has been raised 2lb for that win and that may be prove lenient. Fellow last-time-out winner Time Patrol is feared most after shedding his maiden tag on his handicap bow but he may find it tough to defy a 2lb rise for that head success, while Giddy Aunt heads the remainder.

Q TWENTY BOY took advantage of his reduced mark when scoring at this C&D 12 days ago and a 2 lb rise might not be enough to prevent him from following up. The main danger could be Time Patrol, who showed much improved form when getting off the mark at Windsor last time, with Giddy Aunt completing the shortlist.

The one to beat has to be TIME PATROL who overcame a wide draw to strike on his Windsor handicap debut and can progress further.

1	1 1st (1) (11/10 -33%) So Sleepy		1.1 11/10(-33%)																															(1) So Sleepy 11/10, Creditable second of 8 in handicap (10/3) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 7 days ago, slowly away. Makes plenty of appeal in such a weak event. Unlucky when beaten a nose at Lingfield last week and compensation awaits.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/1 +30%) Next Second		7 7/1(+30%)																															(4) Next Second 7/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 17 days ago. Needs to do more. Won at Wolverhampton (5f) last month; met trouble when 6th since; likely still in form.
3	6 3rd (6) (18/5 +55%) Reckon I'm Hot		3.6 18/5(+55%)																															(6) Reckon I'm Hot 18/5, Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Tenth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 26 days ago. Others more persuasive. 0-24; runner-up twice this summer but lesser efforts of late need forgiving.
4	7 4th (7) (50/1 -52%) Lucy Lightfoot		50 50/1(-52%)																															(7) Lucy Lightfoot 50/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 16 days ago. Has work to do. AW winner in spring 2022 but has yet to be placed after eight starts for current stable.
5th	2 5th (2) (15/2 +25%) Field Of View		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(2) Field Of View 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good) 23 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Others more persuasive. Early days but hasn't been seeing his races out, including on 5f handicap debut latest.
6th	8 6th (8) (7/1 +13%) Storm Melody		7 7/1(+13%)																															(8) Storm Melody 7/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 7/2) 16 days ago, never nearer. Could be back to form having had more of a break. Veteran but 3rd over C&D in August and a slow start didn't help when favourite latest.
7th	5 7th (5) (20/1 -186%) Zous Baby		20 20/1(-186%)																															(5) Zous Baby 20/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 17 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Needs headgear to perk him up. Disappointing maiden and remains to be seen if first-time blinkers make difference.

LTO Selection:

---

This race seems to revolve around the performance of SO SLEEPY, who has the most solid form claims in this field and she may be tough to beat today. William Muir and Chris Grassick's charge was only just touched off over 5f at Lingfield last time and she can defy this 2lb rise in the ratings. Storm Melody can pose the biggest threat to the selection having been given a chance by the handicapper, with Next Second also noted.

SO SLEEPY is on a good mark and was unlucky not to win (met trouble) when runner-up at Lingfield last week, so she's a solid proposition in a thin race. Most of the others have something to prove but Storm Melody and Next Second could emerge as dangers.

This looks a good chance for SO SLEEPY to gain compensation for last week's Lingfield near miss.

1	2 1st (2) (5/2 +9%) Elshaameq		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(2) Elshaameq 5/2, Fair maiden who shaped well when third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 10 days ago, left poorly placed and nearest at the finish. Makes polytrack debut. Big shout off an unchanged mark. Eight-race maiden but his last two runs at Newcastle have been encouraging; considered.
2	5 2nd (5) (17/2 +6%) Letaba		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(5) Letaba 17/2, Fifth of 7 in handicap (8/1) at Beverley (9.9f, heavy) 22 days ago. More is required. 0-10 but has shown promise, including here; returns to Class 6 and Oisin Murphy booked.
3	4 3rd (4) (18/1 -200%) Shalfa		18 18/1(-200%)																															(4) Shalfa 18/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (10/1) at Brighton (9.9f, good to soft) 31 days ago by 3 lengths from Swing To The Stars. Player despite taking a 4 lb rise with that form working out well. Made all in a small field at Brighton last month (1m2f, good); 5lb rise in deeper race now.
4	12 4th (12) (8/1 +43%) Twilight Guest		8 8/1(+43%)																															(12) Twilight Guest 8/1, 14/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (10f, soft) 30 days ago. Can make presence felt. 14-race maiden but unexposed on AW and he's capable of a prominent showing.
5th	9 5th (9) (9/2 +47%) Swing To The Stars		4.5 9/2(+47%)																															(9) Swing To The Stars 9/2, 15/8, creditable 3 lengths second of 6 to Shalfa in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Engaged 5.30 Nottingham Wednesday. Hold-up filly who has threatened in recent starts; non-runner Nottingham Wednesday..
6th	13 6th (13) (8/1 -23%) Angel Of Peace		8 8/1(-23%)																															(13) Angel Of Peace 8/1, 12/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, driven clear. Up 3 lb but she's very much one to consider with that form having been franked. Game effort over C&D 12 days ago but she was always well positioned; more needed up 3lb.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/1 -38%) Storymaker		11 11/1(-38%)																															(7) Storymaker 11/1, Good third of 6 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm, 6/1) 28 days ago, faring best of those held up. Cheekpieces back on and well in the mix in her bid for a maiden success. 9-race maiden; consistent & has ability but the new longer trip needs to give her a lift.
8th	3 8th (3) (12/1 +14%) Lethal Touch		12 12/1(+14%)																															(3) Lethal Touch 12/1, Latest win at Epsom in September. Eighth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D 7 days ago. Others more persuasive. Came up short over C&D in her bid for a hat-trick last week; others more persuasive.
9th	10 9th (10) (150/1 -20%) Mhajim		150 150/1(-20%)																															(10) Mhajim 150/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 200/1) 20 days ago, slowly away. Hooded for 1st time. Lots more is required. Drops to Class 6 and now tried in a hood so no surprise to see a revival; betting to guide.
10th	14 10th (14) (80/1 -100%) Goodwood Vision		80 80/1(-100%)																															(14) Goodwood Vision 80/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Kempton (11f) 24 days ago. Others more persuasive. Not kicked on in handicaps this year but her penultimate fourth offered hope of better.
11th	8 11th (8) (15/2 -25%) Pretty Peg		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(8) Pretty Peg 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fourth of 9 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to soft, 28/1) 77 days ago, slowly away. Ought to be in the shake-up. Kept on for 4th at Newbury on her h'cap debut (strong form); absent 11 weeks but unexposed.
12th	1 12th (1) (22/1 -38%) Hotspur Harry		22 22/1(-38%)																															(1) Hotspur Harry 22/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 36 days ago. Back up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Dangerous mark now and he could be revived by a drop in class and return to Chelmsford.
13th	6 13th (6) (33/1 +18%) Point Of Fact		33 33/1(+18%)																															(6) Point Of Fact 33/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 66/1) 57 days ago. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Thrown in on early handicap form for this yard; gone quiet since April but down to Class 6.

LTO Selection:

An open-looking contest sees a chance taken on SHALFA to follow up his success over 1m 2f at Brighton last time. Lydia Richards' charge won in ready fashion on that occasion, scoring by three lengths, and she can defy this 5lb rise . Storymaker caught the eye when finishing with a flourish over the extended mile at Epsom last time and she will relish this extra yardage, while Angel Of Peace completes the shortlist.

A few with chances but ELSHAAMEQ is taken to gain a deserved breakthrough success on the back of his promising Newcastle third when not enjoying the rub of the green. Recent C&D scorer Angel Of Peace heads the list of dangers, although a good case can also be made for Brighton winner Shalfa and in-form maidens Storymaker and Pretty Peg.

Pretty Peg has untapped potential but TWILIGHT GUEST had a lot go wrong when second here in August and he can get off the mark.

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.

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.
