13:53 Fontwell (Class 5) 25f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (7/2 +78%) Of Corse I Can	3.5 7/2(+78%)	(5) Of Corse I Can 7/2, Continued poor form on chase debut when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Worcester last time; regressive. Has stamina to prove and there would be further doubts about that on soft ground.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +14%) He Is A Cracker	3 3/1(+14%)	(4) He Is A Cracker 3/1, Outpaced and in need of the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f here latest; better over fences and could revive. C&D winner but tailed off here over hurdles last month after a long absence.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/4 -10%) Unblinking	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(3) Unblinking 11/4, Ran to form when 15l third in a handicap chase here on his most recent run; form in and out; not dismissed. Latest third here was quite remote but he still needs respecting in this bad a race.
4	2 4th (2) (5/2 -54%) Just A Memory	2.5 5/2(-54%)	(2) Just A Memory 5/2, Needed every yard when dropping in trip, ran to form landing a handicap by a neck off 94 over 2m5f at Newton Abbot last time; fair mark on hurdle form, progressing over fences and may have more to offer at 3m. A winner last time out and she's one who won't mind any rain.
1	1 \|U\| (1) (9/1 -13%) Midnight Gold	9 9/1(-13%)	(1) Midnight Gold 9/1, No obvious excuse when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Worcester most recently; form in and out; risky Bit to prove on the wellbeing front and probably wants good ground (rain forecast).

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

Just A Memory returned to winning ways in this grade over 2m5f at Newton Abbot last month and will have no issues with this extra yardage, so she has to be considered. However, UNBLINKING finished third over C&D on his most recent start and was dropped 1lb. Robert Bevis' veteran lurks on an appealing rating and looks the way to go. Of Corse I Can is another to note.

There's plenty of rain forecast and that alone entitles JUST A MEMORY (nap) to the vote as most of her rivals probably want good ground.

Info	Form	Odds
1	13 1st (13) (4/7 +65%) Dschingis Dragon	0.571429 4/7(+65%)	(13) Dschingis Dragon 4/7, Promising effort on first completed start, 13l third in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Cork last time; off a short break and likely improver based on flat form. Third at Cork in July, seems to have been waiting for soft ground, chance in weak race.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/2 +31%) Leonard Vallis	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(9) Leonard Vallis 11/2, 75,000 euros Doctor Dino gelding; yard has had recent winner but probably best watched. E75,000 3yo, dam a sister to smart Fidelio Vallis, yard in form, worth checking in market.
3	15 3rd (15) (14/1 +93%) Likealightswitch	14 14/1(+93%)	(15) Likealightswitch 14/1, Green and looked awkward, minor promise on hurdle debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Listowel last time; effective at 2m but probably one for further down the line. 250-1 and never sighted on hurdles debut at Listowel, can only be watched.
4	12 4th (12) (9/1 -125%) Stay In The Game	9 9/1(-125%)	(12) Stay In The Game 9/1, Made mistakes but showed promise when fourth, beaten 9l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Wexford last time; effective from 8-10f on the flat; interesting recruit to hurdling. Best rating of 80 on the Flat, sound effort on hurdles' bow, handles soft, should go well.
5th	19 5th (19) (66/1 -633%) Tropical Twist	66 66/1(-633%)	(19) Tropical Twist 66/1, Modest bumper debut when well beaten in a bumper over 2m2f at Downpatrick on only start; showed little in sole bumper start. Well beaten at 9-2 in a Downpatrick bumper, needs to leave that well behind.
6th	8 6th (8) (40/1 -186%) Lejolicoeur Du Mou	40 40/1(-186%)	(8) Lejolicoeur Du Mou 40/1, Too keen and well beaten in a 4yo bumper over 2m1f at Punchestown on only start; showed nothing in sole bumper start. Hooded and tailed off on debut at Punchestown, bred to need further than this.
7th	10 7th (10) (8/1 -60%) Rackemandstackem	8 8/1(-60%)	(10) Rackemandstackem 8/1, Yard has won the last two runnings of this race; Kingston Hill gelding; half-brother to American Money, very useful at 16f; trained by a leading yard. Kingston Hill gelding, half-brother to two Rules' winners, market will reveal expectations.
8th	20 8th (20) (300/1 -275%) Wild Wild Wind	300 300/1(-275%)	(20) Wild Wild Wind 300/1, Poor bumper debut when down the field in a 4yo bumper at Listowel last time; showed nothing in hurdles or a bumper. Rates an unlikely winner based on two previous runs in maiden hurdles.
9th	2 9th (2) (250/1 -150%) Dark Lieutenant	250 250/1(-150%)	(2) Dark Lieutenant 250/1, Unseated in a maiden hurdle at Roscommon last time; big price and did not get far on debut, may need more time. Unseated early on debut at Roscommon, unlikely to be the answer.
14	14 \|F\| (14) (150/1 -500%) Good Girl Holly	150 150/1(-500%)	(14) Good Girl Holly 150/1, Wings Of Eagles filly; half-sister to Dani's Boy, moderate at 16f; dam was smart from 9f to 16f. Wings Of Eagles filly, dam useful 2m hurdle winner, check the market.
16	16 \|U\| (16) (50/1 -79%) Miss Guiry	50 50/1(-79%)	(16) Miss Guiry 50/1, Failed to find much when down the field in a 4yo bumper at Navan last time; effective at 2m on good ground; debut form has been franked in bumpers but she did not progress. Decent bumper run at Cork on debut, below that the last twice, improvement needed.
10th	4 10th (4) (50/1 -178%) Flash The Badge	50 50/1(-178%)	(4) Flash The Badge 50/1, Modest bumper debut when well beaten in a 4yo bumper over 2m1f at Killarney on only start; off a short break; flat bred and showed little in bumpers. 18-1 and never figured in a Killarney bumper in July, hard to fancy on that evidence.
11th	6 11th (6) (66/1 +0%) Kanog Bay	66 66/1(+0%)	(6) Kanog Bay 66/1, Modest hurdle debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m5f at Navan most recent; effective over 3m in points and likely to find 2m too sharp under rules. Modest form in points, tailed off on hurdles debut, drops in trip, watch.
12th	11 12th (11) (40/1 -100%) Sinbad My Dad	40 40/1(-100%)	(11) Sinbad My Dad 40/1, Outpaced and below form when beaten 9l in a handicap over 11f at Dundalk last time; effective from 8-10f, hurdler has shaped as if he'd get further on the flat, yet to fire over hurdles. Dual-purpose, 0-3 over hurdles, should qualify for a handicap mark after this.
13th	5 13th (5) (25/1 -39%) Friends Of Barry	25 25/1(-39%)	(5) Friends Of Barry 25/1, 52,000 euros Motivator gelding; half-brother to Pavlodar, poor at 16f; dam moderate at 10f. E52,000 3yo, Motivator gelding, dam a half-sister to Gr 1 winner Prevsis, check market.
14th	21 14th (21) (28/1 -211%) Rhythm Of Choice	28 28/1(-211%)	(21) Rhythm Of Choice 28/1, Yard has won the last two runnings of this race; probably improved when 8l third in a maiden over 3m at Stowlin last time; showed minor promise at 3m in points. Modest form in points, off since May, watch unless the market speaks; reserve.
15th	17 15th (17) (40/1 -43%) Soldiers Lady	40 40/1(-43%)	(17) Soldiers Lady 40/1, Yard has won the last two runnings of this race; Soldier Of Fortune filly trained by a top yard. Soldier Of Fortune filly, dam a bumper winner, market will reveal plenty.
16th	1 16th (1) (250/1 +0%) Crab Road	250 250/1(+0%)	(1) Crab Road 250/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time; has everything to prove. Pulled up on debut at Clonmel when reportedly lost action, hard to make a case for.
18	18 \|PU\| (18) (40/1 -43%) Thirsty Work	40 40/1(-43%)	(18) Thirsty Work 40/1, Modest bumper debut when well beaten in a 4yo bumper over 2m1f at Punchestown on only start; all to prove starting out over hurdles. No show on debut in Punchestown bumper, tongue tie discarded, best watched.

Not the strongest looking contest and DSCHINGIS DRAGON can strike after a solid enough placed effort at Cork. The French import was a winner on the Flat in her native land and, having fallen at the first on her hurdling debut in June, she shaped with promise the following month when third to Billie Frechette. There looks scope for further improvement from her. Stay In The Game ran a nice race when fourth on his hurdling debut at Wexford in late August and could be a danger. Money for the Gavin Cromwell-trained newcomer Rackemandstackem would be noteworthy. He's a half-brother to a couple of hurdle winners.

Stay In The Game and DSCHINGIS DRAGON have the best form and narrow preference is for the latter who should relish softer ground

This is her second run since surgery; as a point winner, she must leave previous hurdle form behind. Irish point winner; ran okay in a course bumper but well beaten in two hurdles since.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 -100%) Frammy	5 5/1(-100%)	(6) Frammy 5/1, A bit green under pressure but ran to form when benefitting from a drop in grade to win a bumper at Sedgefield over 2m1f by 5 1/2l last time.

5th	2 5th (2) (13/2 +13%) Getaway Frankie	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(2) Getaway Frankie 13/2, Ran to form when suited by a sound surface and beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle here last time. Needs plenty more to feature. C&D novice winner in June; ran okay in recent handicap here; has big role to play today.
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 -41%) Rock Dj	12 12/1(-41%)	(3) Rock Dj 12/1, Improved effort when second, beaten 3/4l in a maiden over 3m at Toomebridge latest.

Returning from a long layoff, having shown nothing in bumpers so far, with everything to prove. Finished last in two bumpers towards end of last year; hurdle debut today.
8th	5 8th (5) (40/1 -150%) Captain Ted	40 40/1(-150%)	(5) Captain Ted 40/1, Showed modest form when well beaten in a maiden over 3m at Bartlemy on only start.

Having opened his account in a bumper at Sedgefield last month, Frammy now goes hurdling and must be of interest. However, previous experience could be key and SPADESTEP shades preference with that in mind. Beaten a neck on both of his starts over timber in the spring, the son of Jukebox Jury can deservedly go one place better today. Getaway Frankie might fare best of the remainder.

This is a very good opportunity for SPADESTEP, who went down fighting when second to a useful rival at Perth in April.

Drawn on the wing of a large field. May want 7f, effective on good and AW. Should improve significantly from reappearance. Shapes as if this step up in distance will suit; open to improvement.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/1 -40%) I Still Have Faith	7 7/1(-40%)	(2) I Still Have Faith 7/1, Gap came late and looked unlucky but flattened out near the line when beaten 1/2l off 78 over 9f at Newmarket last time. Usually held up. Suited by 9/10f, acts on any ground and consistent. Unlucky at Newmarket last time; drop back to 7f presents a question mark.

9th	16 9th (16) (15/2 +53%) Shaladar	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(16) Shaladar 15/2, Travelled well but would not quicken for an amateur when beaten 5l in a handicap over 8f here last time. Suited by 1m, acts on soft and good but not fast ground. On a fair mark and may need strong handling. Third off 12lb higher in this contest last year; attractively treated.

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

Simon Walker has long been a go-to jockey in these amateur contests and he has a big chance on board STENMARK, a winner at Southwell over this distance in August and second off 4lb higher at Epsom since. He does need a career best off his new mark, but still looks likely to have a big say. Racingbreaks Ryder drops two classes and is beginning to look well handicapped once more. He might prove a bigger danger than the hat-trick seeking Cancan In The Rain.

Consistent maiden DANNICK is taken to get off the mark. Stenmark ties in with the selection, while several others are interesting.

Up the weights after his hat-trick but has since won on the Flat; rain welcomed.
3	3 3rd (3) (13/2 +24%) As Fast As Wind	6.5 13/2(+24%)	(3) As Fast As Wind 13/2, Back to form when upped in trip, winning by 1 1/4l off 60 over 1m6f at Salisbury on her penultimate start; stays well and may need testing 12f, acts on soft and good; effective over 2m hurdles where she is not fully exposed. Has been running well on the Flat and returns to hurdling off a competitive mark.
4	6 4th (6) (50/1 0%) It's Life	50 50/1(0%)	(6) It's Life 50/1, Badly hampered late when closing, beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 1m5f at Bath last time; trainer in form; effective at 2m, acts on good; still green over hurdles and probably has a bit to come. Only ninth at Bath three days ago and that after a forgettable handicap debut over hurdles.

Makes stable debut after a break and the ability is there to be involved.

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

Motazzen completed a hat-trick in this sphere at Southwell in January and has recorded a victory on the Flat since, so he is one to watch out for. Mad Maxios got off the mark at Chepstow in April and is interesting on his handicap bow, but JOREBEL gets the vote. Chris Gordon's charge struck over track and trip, despite his jockey not riding him out to the line, last month and he's worth sticking with for now.

The forecast is a bit of a worry when he's yet to prove himself on soft ground but JOREBEL is ahead of the game being 6lb well in.

MA JACKS HILL may be able to make a winning start over hurdles. The five-year-old won a point-to-point at Dromahane back in April 2024, beating a smart horse in Sortudo, and made 310,000 euros in the sales ring subsequently. He was turned over at a short price on his 'track' debut, finishing third to stablemate William Butler, and was also runner-up in another bumper subsequently. Going over jumps now may bring improvement from him. Los Blanco was beaten at odds-on when last seen at Naas in April. He had been a promising third at the same venue previously and could be a danger. The 120-rated Letos is another who has to be on the shortlist.

Better was surely expected of expensive point purchase MA JACKS HILL during his bumper season, but perhaps hurdles can bring out more

The switch to handicaps coincided with a much-improved performance from SLEMISH, who returned from a break to fill the runner-up spot at Fontwell in August. This doesn't look as competitive so despite a 5lb rise, compensation could await Laura Horsfall's charge. A mark of 91 looks workable for stable debutant Cap Ricochet, who is feared most ahead of Mini Mario.

Some are still unexposed but the most obvious answer is SLEMISH, who ran well in defeat on last month's handicap debut at Fontwell.

Blazeon Five is the sole C&D winner in the line-up and she could go well after signs of a return to form when fourth here in July off 2lb higher. Dashing Panther returns after 10 months off following comfortable victories at Chelmsford to round off 2024. He is one to watch, but DOUBLE MEANING could be the one. Lightly raced, he has won his last two races by 10 lengths and five lengths and might have even more to offer.

Double Meaning is greatly feared and Novelista looks solid but GOOD SHOW could now be primed to run a big race over 2m.

Point-to-point winner FRESH PERSPECTIVE went in on his Rules debut at Uttoxeter in a bumper prior to finding a Listed contest at Ascot too warm. Jamie Snowden's five-year-old now makes his first appearance over timber and he could be the one to beat. Whatyouwaitingfor shed his maiden tag at Newton Abbot in August and it's hard to ignore his claims. Park Talk warrants a market check.

This may go the way of JIMMY HURDSTROM who posted respectable RPRs (in this context) when second in his last two bumpers.

The forecast rain may not suit a lot of these and MALBAS gets the vote. The Ned Buckley-trained gelding chased home Pampar Lady on his last outing at Kilbeggan in August and that form has been boosted since with the winner going on to follow up at Listowel. Malbas has won on soft ground in the past so an ease isn't a big concern. Leave In Secret was an impressive winner in Galway last month, but reportedly wants good ground so that would be a concern. Farrokh has been knocking on the door and has to come into calculations.

Softer conditions pose a question for most. A chance is taken on PARKGARVE who put in his best effort on his most recent hurdles start

Pure Gold won with something in hand at Perth recently and she warrants respect in her follow-up bid. However, she must now shoulder a 7lb penalty in a stronger race so it might pay to side with T OR COFFEY instead. Jennie Candlish's charge landed a maiden hurdle on his stable bow at Stratford in July and with further progress a real possibility in this sphere, a mark of 107 could prove lenient. The hat-trick seeking Double Digits and Winds Of Winter add further spice to the mix.

Topweight WINDS OF WINTER has made remarkable progress for her new stable this season and is taken to record a second C&D success.

Godolphin hold a strong hand with three of the runners, presumably headed by RACE TO THE STARS, a once-raced son of Sea The Stars who won at Southwell last month and is the mount of William Buick. He is fancied to take a step forward to get the better of stablemate Aegean Prince, who has been gelded since his Kempton victory last December. Military Cross was only beaten a head on debut and gets 6lb from his chief rivals as a maiden.

The answer might be MILITARY CROSS who is a strong stayer on pedigree and was finishing his race off well at Kempton.

In good form prior and returns from a short break. Effective from 7f to 8f on a sound surface, progressive on the flat this summer. Flat wins came in modest races and stamina wouldn't be assured for hurdling.

Penalised for her emphatic maiden win at Newton Abbot, MANYANA BLUE was no match for the progressive Lord, who has subsequently landed a hat-trick, when runner-up at the same track last time. However, the daughter of Postponed looks worthy of another chance with the talented conditional Luke Scott taking a valuable 3lb off her back. Spuddling finished a promising third here on his hurdling debut and can confirm superiority with the fourth-placed Bouboule.

Marginal preference is for MANYANA BLUE who chased home a good juvenile at Newton Abbot.

There should be plenty of pace on, with the three main protagonists all liking to lead. ADELA ICON may prove the pick dropping back in trip. The Snow Sky mare tried to force things from the front at Listowel, but dropped away tamely at the business end over 2m4f. She was a good winner at Bellewstown over 2m1f prior to that and handles softer ground. Royal Hollow ran poorly when tried in a visor at Listowel, but the headgear is taken off and she looks the danger on the pick of her form. The Great Nudie makes her seasonal debut and is a capable sort. She's also respected.

If ADELA ICON is at her best then she should take this. She stopped quickly last time but was an impressive winner before that

DIVILABOTHER made a successful start to life with Tristan Davidson when on target over C&D in August, before finishing a creditable second in a warm class 2 at Kelso the following month. The seven-year-old is only 1lb higher and with further progress likely at this level, he is expected to go close. Four of Les's Legacy's five career wins have come at this venue, the latest of those in June, and he merits respect. Others to note include Dee's Getaway and Teofimo.

This looks good for DIVILABOTHER (nap), who was a convincing C&D winner on his stable debut and returns here after a creditable second.

Simiyann has the stamina needed to win this having come home in front three times over two miles or more, with one of those off his current rating, but he may have to give way to KINGDOM OF STARS on this occasion. A Kempton winner in July, he was last seen finishing third at the same track and drops to this class for the first time since May. New York Minute is the pick of the remainder.

Ralph Beckett's 3yo NEW YORK MINUTE was strong at the finish when scoring at Chelmsford and is open to more progress back up in trip.

PUSH THE LIMIT was a good second in a heritage handicap over 1m4f here and stepping up in trip could draw further improvement from this low-mileage colt. Similar comments apply to Arabian Force, whose close-up third in the Great Voltigeur at York is a solid yardstick that puts him firmly in the picture. Many Men had Fantasy World three places behind when he filled the runner-up berth in the Melrose at the same venue and he also rates a key player.

They try this trip for the first time but calculations are nevertheless dominated by ARABIAN FORCE (nap) and Push The Limit.

It was a non-event for KOOL ONE at Listowel with his saddle slipping early. The Kool Kompany gelding had been in fine form previously, winning on the Flat at Roscommon and over timber in Wexford. He's a smart horse and looks capable of landing a race of this standard off his current figure of 118. Arctic Flame won her maiden hurdle at Down Royal in good style and looks on a fair mark for her handicap debut. She could be the danger. Ballycashin ran a big race at Listowel, losing out narrowly in a three-way finish. She also has to be on the shortlist.

In good form this summer, KOOL ONE (nap) was pulled-up in the Lartigue after the saddle slipped at the start and can make amends

Effective at 7f and acts on soft ground; looks quirky but workable on current mark. Unexposed filly who won at 66-1 in seller last time; now steps up to 1m on nursery debut.

Grimese's Special kept on to spring a 66/1 shock over 7f on her second start, but she needs to prove that wasn't a fluke. Blooming Legend won over this trip at Lingfield before a third on heavy at Salisbury and could go well, but PREVIOUS deserves another chance. Successful at Newcastle on debut, she was then put in her place by Allegresse at Kempton but time may tell that performance was better than it appeared at first glance.

This looks tricky but Newcastle winner PREVIOUS ran into a smart prospect at Kempton last time and she gets the vote on nursery debut.

ARAMRAM has been generally consistent all season and that reliability earns him the vote. His seventh-placed finish in the Ayr Gold Cup can be upgraded given he lost a shoe as that race unfolded and conditions could be much more to his liking here. Trefor and the hat-trick seeking Brosay also boasts solid credentials, while Zoulu Chief has held his form well since being gelded and is another to monitor closely in the betting now he drops back in trip.

An excellent handicap in which preference is for BROSAY who has won his only two 6f starts since blinkered, including over C&D.

BELLES BENEFIT found the 3m2f trip at Warwick beyond her last time, having returned the impressive winner over 2m6f at Stratford before that. Ben Case's charge has solid claims on that form and a bold bid looks assured. Ivane reverts to hurdling with a shout having landed a chase at Sedgefield last month, while Summer In Milan is another to note reverting to the smaller obstacles.

The 7yo IVANE was a strong favourite to defy this mark over fences here 11 days ago only to crash out of the race early.

Killarney maiden hurdle winner ROCKONLIAM can follow up on his handicap debut. Sent off favourite on that occasion, the Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding led at the last, before keeping on strongly to open his account. With both the third and fourth-placed horses going on to score subsequently, the form has quite a strong look to it. Darcy's Friend, who landed a gamble on stable debut for Emmet Mullins, failed to back that run up at Tipperary last time. However, he's noted along with recent Roscommon second Live To Laugh.

Given how well his Killarney win has worked out, ROCKONLIAM could be thrown in off an opening mark of 103

Having been headed on the run-in over C&D last time out, ROYAL DEESIDE showed plenty of determination to get back up and score. A 3lb rise for Patrick Morris' gelding looks fair considering the runner-up has won since and a third track victory could be on the cards. Victory Club bounced back to form with a good second at Sedgefield last month and he should not be taken lightly from an unchanged mark. Others to note include Follow Your Arrow and Stylish Recruit.

Dual chase winner INGENNIO shaped well over hurdles on the second of his two stable starts and now reverts to fences on a good mark.

Valkyrie Storm pulled too hard for her own good before finishing third at Chepstow and is a player if she learns to settle, but preference is for ATTENTION SEEKER. A hood was added after the Harry Eustace-trained juvenile's Kempton debut and it resulted in a much-improved second at Brighton, where he still looked as if he would learn more from the experience. Newcomer Turku is one to watch, with Thirsk third Magical Merlot another to consider.

The usefully bred ATTENTION SEEKER was runner-up at Brighton last month on his second start and can go one better today.

GRIZEDALE has shown stacks of promise in his three previous runs and is an appealing contender for a race of this nature. A winner over a mile at Kempton, the son of Zoustar was then narrowly denied under a penalty in a novice event over 7f at the same course. Back up in trip, he can make a big impact here. Wujjood and Crack On Boys have solid claims based on their official ratings, while the dependable Gloriously Sassy also commands respect.

The drop back to 1m could be ideal for the lightly raced filly WUJJOOD and she gets the nod ahead of Crack On Boys.

Belatedly off the mark at Tipperary and didn't run at all badly at Naas next time.

Having followed up a breakthrough victory at Tipperary with a respectable fifth in a 21-runner sprint at Naas, Ballysax Lil' Mick merits respect in his current vein of form. However, RIFT VALLEY was a couple of positions in front of him at Naas and then found herself with too much to do when fifth at Lingfield. Sean Davis' filly edges the vote, with last year's winner Hero Of The Hour the pick of the remainder.

The filly RIFT VALLEY has made a good start for her new yard and a breakthough win seems very imminent.

With Patrick Mullins in the saddle, Downpatrick winner LIADAWN catches the eye. Sent off a strong favourite on her racecourse debut, the daughter of Jukebox Jury was always prominent before stretching clear of her rivals from over a furlong out. Apart from the fact that the five-year-old was visually impressive, the form of that race has been well franked in the interim. Both the second and third, who proved no match for the selection that day, have won subsequently. A stablemate of the selection, Closutton also won her bumper first time out and is noted along with Galway winner Maximillian Lady.

Willie Mullins' LIADAWN won decisively on soft ground on debut and is preferred by Patrick Mullins so she looks the safest bet

KILLYBEGS JET LADY offered plenty of encouragement when finishing second to the reopposing Upfordebate over C&D on her chasing debut last time out. The latter went on to score cosily at Perth next time and is clearly on an upward curve, but the same might be said of the selection who can reverse that earlier form on these revised terms. McGregors Charge and Ballydangan can't be overlooked either.

Top of the list is UPFORDEBATE who made it 2-3 over fences when scoring at Perth last week. Killybegs Jet Lady is feared most.

More was expected of Mr Nippy when only managing eighth at Chelmsford and there will be plenty who give him another chance on just his third start. However, WINDING STREAM is a half-brother to Spycraft, who struck on the all-weather as a juvenile. If the market vibes are strong, Richard Hughes' newcomer might prove hard to beat. Bear Steps would have learned a lot from her seventh at Lingfield and completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to WINDING STREAM, who cost 40,000gns last autumn and is a half-brother to a 7f 2yo debut winner.

VALIANT FORCE won three times over a variety of trips here last winter and has carried big weights when runner-up on his latest two starts at this venue. The son of Malibu Moon meets Eclairage on 20lb better terms for a two-length beating over C&D in July. Black Forza won the Group 2 Richmond Stakes at Goodwood last year, but needs to bounce back after struggling on his belated seasonal debut at the Curragh. Songhai had American import Fandom a length and a half behind when fourth to Grande Marques at Tipperary, but Joseph O'Brien's charge may reverse the form with that run under his belt.

Last year's winner Valiant Force is solid as a rock but a chance is taken on FANDOM on his second run back from a year out.

ZABEEL ALKABEIR created a good impression when making a winning debut at Lingfield before being well beaten in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster. James Tate's colt takes a sizeable drop in grade and looks the one to beat. Shamacid finished a place in front of Proud To Be Fox when third over 6f at Wolverhampton and can confirm that form to have a say. El Pinto is the pick of the remainder.

Proud To Be Fox is capable of better but ZABEEL ALKABEIR can leave Doncaster behind him and confirm his debut promise.

A close fourth at Naas (6f) and could be helped by this sharper test.

Dual winner; dropping back to 5f might be no hardship but the draw could be.

IPANEMA QUEEN has gained both wins at the Curragh, including when showing good speed throughout over this trip to land a Listed race in August, with Namiid over four lengths behind in third and Jack The Bachelor and Rosie Frith in rear. She may have been unsuited by soft ground at Ayr last time. Controlled took a big step forward from his debut when fitted with blinkers to win a Naas maiden, beating Aegina by three lengths, and has plenty of scope for improvement. Sirius A went close in the Group 3 Sirenia Stakes over 6f at Kempton and now tries this trip for the first time. Howd'yadoit is another to consider.

Armed with a good draw, plenty of experience and as good a form as any, IPANEMA QUEEN can bounce back after her Ayr defeat.

SPECIAL GHAIYYATH and Bernalda are both seeking hat-tricks, but preference is afforded to the former after his triumph at Haydock last month. The son of Ghaiyyath was making his handicap/stable debut that day and despite a 3lb rise it would come as no great surprise were he to find further progress. Stablemate Bin Ajwad was raised 6lb having won over C&D last month but remains of considerable interest.

This is a step up in class for BERNALDA but she is 9lb ahead of the handicapper and can complete her hat-trick.

1	1 (1) (5/2 +0%) Sovereign Thought	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(1) Sovereign Thought 5/2, Improved up in trip when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 63 at Down Royal last time. Suited by 7f; now higher in the weights but still looks competitive for this top yard. Raised 10lb for Down Royal but he did that quite comfortably in the end.
3	3 (3) (7/1 +0%) A La Dure	7 7/1(+0%)	(3) A La Dure 7/1, From a yard that won this last year; ran to form but was comfortably held in a maiden over 6f at Cork last time. Bred to sprint and has been consistent in maidens. First two runs were mildly encouraging and softer ground perhaps blunted him at Cork.
9	9 (9) (8/1 +0%) Femme Beauty	8 8/1(+0%)	(9) Femme Beauty 8/1, Failed to build on a promising handicap debut, flattening out at a stiff track when down the field in a nursery over 8f at Naas. Inconsistent over 6-7f so far but may get 1m in time. 3l away in her first handicap on good ground and appeared to get stuck in the mud at Naas.

7	7 (7) (14/1 +0%) Whistling Jamesie	14 14/1(+0%)	(7) Whistling Jamesie 14/1, Looked green and ran poorly, unsuited by the drop in trip, finishing down the field in an auction race over 5f at Bellewstown. Usually held up; although speedily bred, may need longer trips and mark looks high enough. Hard to be confident about him off this mark given what he's shown in maidens.
12	12 (12) (14/1 +0%) Zebrina	14 14/1(+0%)	(12) Zebrina 14/1, Disappointing on handicap debut when down the field in a nursery over 8f at Naas. Effective at 1m; yet to build on promising debut but well bred and could still be capable of better. Softish ground perhaps not ideal on nursery debut but has a lot to prove.
14	14 (14) (18/1 +0%) Balance Of Trade	18 18/1(+0%)	(14) Balance Of Trade 18/1, Needed the run when well beaten in a claimer over 8f at Naas.

2	2 (2) (20/1 +0%) Princess Sioux	20 20/1(+0%)	(2) Princess Sioux 20/1, Did too much too soon when stepped up in trip, set it up for a closer, and failed to stay well beaten in a maiden over 8f at Punchestown. Effective at 6f but yet to prove stamina for 7f; must settle better. The Naas fifth behind the useful Caught U Sleeping offers hope off this sort of mark.
11	11 (11) (20/1 +0%) Pretty Liz	20 20/1(+0%)	(11) Pretty Liz 20/1, Made too much use of when well beaten in a nursery over 6f at Fairyhouse last time. Effective at 7f but has shown inconsistency in a short career. Final maiden effort was better but handicap debut forgettable when a 28-1 chance.
6	6 (6) (25/1 +0%) Stolen Treasure	25 25/1(+0%)	(6) Stolen Treasure 25/1, Outpaced and never threatened when below form down the field in a maiden over 6f at Naas. Likely to need longer trips in time; opening mark looks stiff. His 5l eighth at Naas is very much a standout and probably best watched in first nursery.
5	5 (5) (33/1 +0%) Friendly Invoice	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Friendly Invoice 33/1, Ran to form when beaten 7 1/2l in a maiden here last time. With trainer in form but must settle better to progress; looks more suited to low-grade nurseries. Showed more over C&D last week but was still only ninth of the 13 runners; nursery debut.
10	10 (10) (40/1 +0%) One Cool Bear	40 40/1(+0%)	(10) One Cool Bear 40/1, Possibly failed to stay when down the field in a nursery at Down Royal. Effective at 6f but inconsistent and current mark looks stiff. 50-1 when last to finish at Down Royal in the nursery won by Sovereign Thought.
8	8 (8) (15/2 0%) Darwin's Angel	7.5 15/2(0%)	(8) Darwin's Angel 15/2, Made too much use of up in trip, flattened out and did not stay when fourth beaten 8l in a claimer over 8f at Naas. Blinkers fitted first time; effective at 7f but has been inconsistent. Disappointing in a claimer latest but good run the time before and now blinkered.

PRINCESS SIOUX showed promise when fifth behind Caught U Sleeping over this trip at Naas and appeared to find a mile too far subsequently at Punchestown. The daughter of Sioux Nation now tackles handicap company for the first time off a mark of 72 and the booking of Nicola Burns adds to confidence. Sovereign Thought appreciated the step up to 7f when taking a Down Royal nursery in decisive fashion and rates an obvious threat. The Donnacha O'Brien-trained gelding had Darwin's Angel (now 7lb better off) about two lengths behind in fourth, while A La Dure and Femme Beauty are others to consider.

Sovereign Thought will be popular but FEMME BEAUTY could be a player if it was slow ground that resulted in a backward step at Naas

ANCIENT TIMES has won a couple of sprints on the turf already this year and he ran with credit to finish third over the minimum trip here latest . That was his first start since June, so the son of Exceed And Excel is expected to go close from an unchanged mark. True Promise is 4lb lower than when winning over C&D last October and cannot be ruled out, while Dark Side Thunder could also be involved.

Ancient Times is enjoying a good season but the class-dropping TRUE PROMISE (nap) is preferred.

ANDAB scored impressively on debut at the Curragh back in May and has held his form well since, including when fourth behind Gstaad in the Coventry Stakes. The Joseph O'Brien-trained colt filled the runner-up spot last time in a Group 3 over this trip at Deauville. Riding arrangements suggest Straight Up, who made a winning debut at the Listowel Festival, is preferred of Aidan O'Brien's pair and he could have plenty of scope for improvement. Stablemate Moments Of Joy was placed in the Chesham at Royal Ascot and runner-up in a Group 3 over a mile at the Curragh last time.

The experience gained by ANDAB (nap) in Pattern races in Britain and France may prove decisive against the Ballydoyle-trained pair.

DESERT MASTER has posted a couple of positive efforts at Newcastle of late and that augurs well for his chances. The son of Blue Point struck from a 7lb higher mark over C&D at the start of the year and it could be his turn again. Marcus has yet to win but recent placed efforts on the turf suggest he can make his presence felt, while Red Walls and Arlington ought to have a fighting chance too.

Arlington should make a bold bid but PIPERSTOWN lurks on a dangerous mark and he can strike now returned to 5f.

3	3 (3) (4/1 +0%) Ocean Manifest	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Ocean Manifest 4/1, Improved in first-time blinkers when second, beaten a head, in an 8f maiden at Killarney latest; off a short break; effective at 1m and suited by ease; has shown enough to take a modest maiden. Twice placed at three, beaten a head over 1m at Killarney in July, should be in the mix.
12	12 (12) (7/1 +0%) Phoenix Pairc	7 7/1(+0%)	(12) Phoenix Pairc 7/1, Raced too freely in front when up in trip, finishing third, beaten 5 1/4l, in an 8f auction at Bellewstown latest; effective at 6-7f and acts on good and yielding ground; looks capable of winning a modest maiden. The 1m trip seemed to stretch her stamina at Bellewstown, definite chance on her best form.
13	13 (13) (7/1 +0%) Senti Qua	7 7/1(+0%)	(13) Senti Qua 7/1, Poorly placed when beaten 8 1/2l in an 8f handicap at Killarney last time in a race dominated from the front; visor first time; consistent at 7-8f until then and acts on this surface. Moderate 1m run at Killarney six weeks ago, previous C&D second gives her every chance.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +0%) Woolridge	9 9/1(+0%)	(7) Woolridge 9/1, Ran to form when beaten 7 1/4l in a 6f maiden at Cork last time; trainer in form; off a short break; effective at 6f on a sound surface and may get 7f; in fair form. Shaped quite well in two 6f turf outings in July, may improve enough to feature now.
2	2 (2) (10/1 +0%) North Winterfell	10 10/1(+0%)	(2) North Winterfell 10/1, Too free when held in a 2m2f maiden hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; prefers a sound surface but likely needs much further than 7f on the flat. Soundly beaten over hurdles on his last three starts, best British Flat form was at 1m4f.
9	9 (9) (12/1 +0%) Grey Salvo	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Grey Salvo 12/1, Never threatened when beaten 4 1/2l in a 6f maiden at Newcastle last time; returning from a long layoff; effective at 6f on all-weather but has failed to build on a promising UK debut, best watched. Runner-up on the first of three 6f AW outings in Britain at two, long absence to overcome.
6	6 (6) (17/2 +0%) Starspangled Dream	8.5 17/2(+0%)	(6) Starspangled Dream 17/2, Matched debut form but appeared unsuited by a shorter trip when fourth, beaten 3 1/4l, in a 6f claimer here latest; effective at 7f on this surface; more to come but may not want shorter trips. Extra furlong should suit on the evidence of a staying-on fourth over 6f here a week ago.
5	5 (5) (22/1 +0%) Ribble Emperor	22 22/1(+0%)	(5) Ribble Emperor 22/1, Travelled but found little and may not have stayed when well beaten in an 8f maiden at Cork last time; effective at 7f and could bounce back dropped in trip. Much the best of his three runs when third over this trip at Fairyhouse in July.
4	4 (4) (25/1 +0%) All Told	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) All Told 25/1, Ran to form when 3l third in an 8f claimer at Bellewstown most recent; from a top course trainer and effective at 1m on a sound surface; strong connections but yet to match winter all-weather form. Third in a weak contest at Bellewstown on Wednesday, non-runner at same venue on Thursday.
8	8 (8) (33/1 +0%) Brosna Green	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Brosna Green 33/1, Failed to stay when down the field in an 8f handicap at Galway latest; off a short break; effective at 7f with all best form on all-weather; inconsistent overall. Made the frame over C&D last November, this year's form offers little encouragement.
1	1 (1) (50/1 +0%) Anightaway	50 50/1(+0%)	(1) Anightaway 50/1, Finished down the field in a 10f maiden at The Curragh last time; bred for around 1m so this shorter trip should help; plenty to prove. Has struggled in a pair of 1m2f maidens, takes a sharp drop in trip, impossible to fancy.
11	11 (11) (100/1 +0%) Lo Tengo Claro	100 100/1(+0%)	(11) Lo Tengo Claro 100/1, Improved from debut though down the field in an 8f maiden at Listowel latest; pedigree suggests speed and likely needs a drop from 1m. Tailed off in two maiden attempts on turf last month, shorter trip now, no apparent chance.
10	10 (10) (9/1 +10%) Hugo's Girl	9 9/1(+10%)	(10) Hugo's Girl 9/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l in a handicap here last time; had been in good form prior; effective at 6-7f on this surface; currently in good form. 67-rated filly has had plenty of chances, not beaten far in a C&D handicap on latest.

Runner-up on her only previous start at this track, SENTI QUA can go one better. A lightly-raced daughter of Sumbal, the Ken Condon-trained filly is unexposed on an artificial surface and might be capable of better. Ocean Manifest improved on his initial run for Stephen Thorne when just touched off last time. While the form of that race is nothing special, he does at least appear to be going the right way. Starspangled Dream is also noted.

It could pay to take a chance with the relatively unexposed WOOLRIDGE, whose Cork fifth makes solid reading

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (13/8 -18%) Night Tara	1.625 13/8(-18%)	(4) Night Tara 13/8, Scored by 3l off 61 over 12f at Epsom on her penultimate start; outstayed late but probably ran to form over 2m last time; effective 10-12f and may not stay 2m; could still progress for a top yard. Record of 12212 in handicaps and seemed to be outstayed over 2m here last week; big player.
3	3 (3) (9/4 +18%) Mission Possible	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(3) Mission Possible 9/4, Too keen and failed to stay when well beaten in a 14f handicap at Haydock last time; effective at 12f and needs to settle to get further; has hinted at more to come. 725,000gns yearling but she's been well held in four runs so far including a 1m6f handicap.
2	2 (2) (6/1 +57%) Whatamoon	6 6/1(+57%)	(2) Whatamoon 6/1, Looked slow and badly in need of further fourth beaten 13l in a novice over 12f at Kempton latest; trainer in form; should be suited by longer trip. Unexposed after only four runs but she has something to prove on this big step up in trip.
6	6 (6) (8/1 -14%) Kokinelli	8 8/1(-14%)	(6) Kokinelli 8/1, Did not quite get home on easy ground when beaten 7 1/4l in a 12f handicap at Chester last time; suited by 12f and usually consistent. 13-race maiden who was well held at Chester last time and is untried at this trip.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -60%) Bintnouf	12 12/1(-60%)	(7) Bintnouf 12/1, Possibly needed further when beaten 10l in a novice over 11f at Kempton last time; returns from a short break; best effort has been at 12f on AW; tricky to weigh up. Well-bred filly who is unexposed and needs watching in market on handicap/stable debut.
5	5 (5) (18/1 -29%) Spring Chorus	18 18/1(-29%)	(5) Spring Chorus 18/1, Well backed and ran to form when beaten 2l off 62 at Redcar last time; suited by 12f and stays 14f; in solid form. Two wins at Beverley and was a fair third at Redcar (1m6f) last time; in the mix.
9	9 (9) (18/1 +45%) A Swan Song	18 18/1(+45%)	(9) A Swan Song 18/1, Similar form to her previous two runs when comfortably held in a 12f handicap at Epsom last time; cheekpieces first time; seems effective 10-12f; mark looks stiff. Well held at big prices in all four runs and she needs improvement upped to 1m6f.
1	1 (1) (25/1 -25%) Sun Dancer Girl	25 25/1(-25%)	(1) Sun Dancer Girl 25/1, Poor effort when well beaten in a handicap over 2m at Lingfield last time; effective 14-16f; out of form since changing yard. C&D winner but she's struggled in three runs for current yard and needs a major revival.

NIGHT TARA has remained in excellent form since winning on her handicap bow at Chelmsford in August. The extended 2m trip stretched her stamina here latest, but this shorter distance shouldn't be an issue, and Sir Mark Prescott's filly should mount a bold bid from an unchanged mark. The consistent Spring Chorus is likely be thereabouts once again, and although Mission Possible disappointed on her handicap bow it is too soon to write her off.

This can go to NIGHT TARA, who has a record of 12212 in handicaps and is open to more progress on this drop back in trip.

5	5 (5) (7/1 +0%) Empress Artemis	7 7/1(+0%)	(5) Empress Artemis 7/1, Ran to form when benefitting from a drop in grade, scoring by 1 1/2l off 80 over 8f at Bellewstown penultimate start. Met trouble when closing and had too much to do when fourth, beaten 3l off 85 last time. Effective at 1m on good, good to firm, and AW; steadily progressing. Good run at Leopardstown last month, missed an engagement at Bellewstown on Thursday.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +0%) Shakazia	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(4) Shakazia 9/2, Unable to wear down the all-the-way winner, beaten 3l off 89 at Gowran Park last time. Off a short break; acts on good and soft ground; effective at 7-8f. In form and on a fair mark. Beaten by a longer-priced stablemate at Gowran, respected on account of her consistency.
8	8 (8) (9/2 +0%) Aviatrice	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(8) Aviatrice 9/2, Had too much to do behind the all-the-way winner but ran to form when beaten 2l off 79 over 8f at Leopardstown last time. Consistent at 6-8f, acts on good to firm, yielding and AW; latest form is strong. Course 6f maiden winner, deserves respect on her second over 1m at Leopardstown last time.

Returning from a long layoff; effective at 7f, acts on yielding and good ground. Progressive and well treated back in a handicap with her latest form franked. Got her act together in the closing months of last season. could go close if fit and ready.
2	2 (2) (11/1 +0%) Nancy J	11 11/1(+0%)	(2) Nancy J 11/1, Ran to current form when 3 1/4l third in an auction race over 8f at Cork on her latest run. Off a short break; effective at 7-8f on a sound surface; generally consistent and handicaps look her level. Not a bad effort when eighth of 25 in a 1m Royal Ascot handicap, needs to raise her game.
1	1 (1) (12/1 +0%) Independent Expert	12 12/1(+0%)	(1) Independent Expert 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 5l in a handicap over 8f at Leopardstown last time. Effective at 1m, acts on any ground, but inconsistent and her mark looks stiff. Has been contesting valuable handicaps, sights lowered now, C&D winner, not ruled out.
6	6 (6) (25/1 +0%) Enola Holmes	25 25/1(+0%)	(6) Enola Holmes 25/1, Unsuited by a drop in trip at a sharp track, well beaten in a handicap over 6f at Goodwood latest. Wears tongue-tie for the first time. Off a short break; suited by 7f and a sound surface but in poor form. Highly tried in valuable sprint handicaps in Britain, will be more at home at this level.
10	10 (10) (25/1 +0%) Cash Me	25 25/1(+0%)	(10) Cash Me 25/1, Outpaced and disappointing on handicap debut, beaten 4l off 71 over 6f at Fairyhouse last time. Trainer in form.

If her wide draw doesn't prove an inconvenience, AVIATRICE can register a second course win. Off the mark in her maiden here last November, the David Marnane-trained filly has been ultra consistent in recent starts. A progressive filly when last seen, the Donnacha O'Brien-trained Whispersinthewind has to be respected. Victorious in her last two outings, the Churchill filly could have more to offer. Fairyhouse maiden winner Shakazia also holds claims.

The safest choice may be AVIATRICE, a 6f course winner who took the runner-up spot over 1m at Leopardstown last time

About U.K Horse Racing

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

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

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

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

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

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