14:00 Leicester (Class 6) 7f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	15 1st (15) (5/1 +9%) Wrydcroft	5 5/1(+9%)	(15) Wrydcroft 5/1, Ran to form down in grade on handicap debut to win by a head off 48 here last time. Effective at 6f and handles good to soft and good to firm ground. Latest form not strong but may still have more to offer. Improved to win C&D apprentice event on handicap debut last time; chance off 3lb higher.
2	14 2nd (14) (13/2 +35%) Albeyours	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(14) Albeyours 13/2, Improved in first-time cheekpieces to win a handicap by 1l off 45 here last time. Effective at 7f on good to soft ground and that form has since been boosted. Won over C&D with headgear tried for Luke Catton latest; obvious chance off 4lb higher.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/1 -54%) Portoro	10 10/1(-54%)	(8) Portoro 10/1, Raced freely and challenged too early but ran to form when beaten 1/2l off 60 over 6f here last time. Back from a short break; effective over 6-7f and handles soft and good ground. 7f AW winner in February; creditable 2nd last time; back from a break; quite interesting.
4	9 4th (9) (5/1 +50%) Lord Capulet	5 5/1(+50%)	(9) Lord Capulet 5/1, Made too much use of when beaten 2l off 63 over 6f at Newcastle last time. Poor in all handicap starts and best form at 7f on the all-weather. Lightly raced and unexposed; best form over 7f on AW; back after wind op; others stronger.
5th	16 5th (16) (16/1 0%) She's A Goldigger	16 16/1(0%)	(16) She's A Goldigger 16/1, Flattened out when upped in trip and beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap over 8f at Beverley last time. Effective at 7f, suited by cut and can bounce back now dropped in trip. 0-9; best run when head second to Wrydcroft over C&D two runs back; chance on that form.
6th	10 6th (10) (125/1 -150%) Impulse Buy	125 125/1(-150%)	(10) Impulse Buy 125/1, Below form up in trip when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Back from a short break and looks on a stiff mark. Two fair efforts on AW last autumn; has not progressed but may do better after wind op.
7th	3 7th (3) (25/1 -79%) Ajrad	25 25/1(-79%)	(3) Ajrad 25/1, Won by a head off 60 over 8f at Bath on his penultimate start but disappointed off a revised mark when eighth, beaten 10l off 63 last time. Effective over 7-8f, acts on any ground and had been thriving before that run. Has won three out of his last five races, all at 1m; effective at 7f; could go well again.
8th	7 8th (7) (16/1 -14%) Darn Hot Mystery	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Darn Hot Mystery 16/1, Ran to form when beaten 4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Suited by 7f and had been running at the wrong trip until latest. Best efforts were on AW last autumn; bit disappointing this season; bit to prove.
9th	1 9th (1) (18/1 -50%) Outrun The Storm	18 18/1(-50%)	(1) Outrun The Storm 18/1, Had no obvious excuse when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective at 7f and handles good to soft, good and good to firm ground but has been inconsistent in 2025. Suited by 7f and goes on soft ground; below par last twice and a bit to prove at present.
10th	2 10th (2) (16/1 -60%) Big Bard	16 16/1(-60%)	(2) Big Bard 16/1, Won by 1 1/2l off 59 over 6f at Lingfield on his penultimate start. Had too much to do but ran well for fourth, beaten 6 1/4l off 64 last time. Suited by 6f, handles any ground and remains on a fair mark. Two 6f wins this year, latest at Lingfield (good) two runs back; return to 7f is a concern.
11th	6 11th (6) (10/1 -11%) Miakoda	10 10/1(-11%)	(6) Miakoda 10/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off 61 at Brighton three starts back but below form when fifth, beaten 8l off 65 last time in a higher grade. Suited by 7f, acts on any ground and generally in good form. Three wins over 7f this term, last two on good to firm; below par latest but could go well.
12th	4 12th (4) (9/2 +10%) Luminous Warrior	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(4) Luminous Warrior 9/2, Forced to switch and didn't find as much as expected but ran to form when beaten 3l off 66 at Doncaster last time. Back from a short break; effective over 7-8f and handles good to soft and good to firm ground. Ex-James Ferguson; two fair runs in handicaps; unexposed; could go well on stable debut.
13th	5 13th (5) (12/1 -50%) Thiscouldbefun	12 12/1(-50%)	(5) Thiscouldbefun 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off 64 over 8f at Bath last time. Effective over 7-8f and handles any ground. In form and on a workable mark. Three good runs over 1m at Bath this season; high draw not ideal; each-way chance..
14th	12 14th (12) (16/1 -14%) Kode Secret	16 16/1(-14%)	(12) Kode Secret 16/1, Had no obvious excuse when beaten 7l in a handicap over 6f at Hamilton last time. Suited by 7f, possibly effective at 6f, acts on any ground but has mixed form. Two 7f wins in 2024, including on soft; not so good this term; return to 7f should suit.

A determined winner over C&D on his handicap debut last month, WRYDCROFT is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and a 3lb rise for that success shouldn't bother Pam Sly's gelding too much. Miakoda returns to the turf with a shout, while Portoro could make his presence felt after going close over 6f here at the end of July.

In an open race, ALBEYOURS can add to her recent C&D win when showing improved form in first-time cheekpieces.

14:15 Brighton (Class 5) 5f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (6/1 +33%) Merrimack	6 6/1(+33%)	(4) Merrimack 6/1, Scored by a neck off 64 at Windsor three starts back. Made too much use of on soft ground last time. Likes to make the running and suited by 5f. Acts on any going. Best when allowed to dictate though can be a touch erratic. Scrambled home at Windsor (5f, good/firm) in July; less productive since; others preferred.
2	2 2nd (2) (17/2 +0%) Over Spiced	8.5 17/2(+0%)	(2) Over Spiced 17/2, Won by 1/2l off 64 at Leicester on her penultimate start. Made too much use of last time. Suited by 5f and acts on a sound surface. Form a little inconsistent. Leicester scorer (5f, good; from 4lb lower) on penultimate start; this is realistic.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/2 -27%) Antiphon	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(6) Antiphon 7/2, Ran to form when beaten 2l off 52 here last time. Effective at 5f and 6f, acts on most goings except heavy but suited by soft. Current mark seems fair. Knocking at the door over C&D in recent weeks (form with Call Time); foolish to discount..
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 +0%) Call Time	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Call Time 4/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off 55 at Chepstow three starts back. Well backed and ran to form when beaten 2l off 60 last time. Effective at 5f and 6f, best with some give in the ground. Consistent performer. Consistent since July; player with a reproduction of latest C&D third (Antiphon second)..
5th	3 5th (3) (11/2 +0%) Francis Drake	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(3) Francis Drake 11/2, Scored by a neck off 61 over 6f at Kempton three starts back. Didn't see out 6f on soft ground last time. Cheekpieces first time and trainer in form. Effective over 6f or 7f on a sound surface. Mark looks fair. Kempton winner (6f; from 5lb lower) in August; yet to definitively prove himself on turf..
6th	1 6th (1) (5/2 +17%) Rory Rocket	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(1) Rory Rocket 5/2, Made a lot of use of on easy ground when beaten 5l in a 6f handicap at Goodwood last time. Cheekpieces first time. Suited by 6f and acts on heavy and good to firm ground. On a good mark on best form. Placed five times; wasn't at best when front-running latest; chance with cheekpieces on..

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

Runner-up at Goodwood in August, Rory Rocket has failed to build on that effort in a couple of subsequent outings, but could bounce back in first-time cheekpieces. OVER SPICED found the competition too hot upped in class at Bath last time. The daughter of Adaay had won nicely at Leicester prior to that and she looks worth another chance back in this grade. The consistent Call Time will likely finish in the mix once again.

A tricky opener. The tentative suggestion is RORY ROCKET with Call Time perhaps the pick of the remainder.

14:20 Galway 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (1/4 +50%) Welonlyhavedone	0.25 1/4(+50%)	(3) Welonlyhavedone 1/4, Showed minor promise on debut when well beaten in a bumper over 2m2f here last time; returns from a short break; bumper form has been franked, and as a 3m point winner he should stay further than 2m under rules. Point winner who was beaten 13l in a bumper here; obvious appeal on hurdling debut.
2	6 2nd (6) (16/1 +52%) Survivors Sister	16 16/1(+52%)	(6) Survivors Sister 16/1, Looked in need of a stiffer test when fourth, beaten 56l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m2f at Listowel last time; inconsistent in 3m points and may require further than 2m under rules. Looking very limited under rules and latest fourth in a Listowel maiden was remote.
3	2 3rd (2) (25/1 +0%) Phoenix Arizona	25 25/1(+0%)	(2) Phoenix Arizona 25/1, Improved slightly from debut when down the field in a bumper over 2m2f at Tipperary last time; showed promise in points but has yet to reproduce that under rules. Placed in points but went 0-6 and failed to offer much in his two bumpers; plenty to prove.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 -33%) Getaways Charm	4 4/1(-33%)	(4) Getaways Charm 4/1, Flattened out when stepped up in trip and comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m6f at Killarney last time; returning from a break; best efforts to date have come at 2m, handles any ground, and could bounce back dropped in trip. Best run for Gordon Elliott was three starts back but new trainer has found a weak race.
5th	5 5th (5) (100/1 -100%) Golden Order	100 100/1(-100%)	(5) Golden Order 100/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Sligo last time after a long absence; faces a stiff task here. Has shown pretty much nothing in two bumpers and a maiden hurdle.

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

A weak maiden to start proceedings and WELONLYHAVEDONE has been presented with a good chance to make a successful start over hurdles. A wide-margin point-to-point winner in March, the Diamond Boy gelding didn't match market expectations when midfield in a bumper at the Festival here. However, he wasn't beaten all that far and the form has worked out well. Getaways Charm was placed in a 20-runner maiden at Naas in April and now starts off for a new yard having left Gordon Elliott. Dropping to this trip should suit, but she has been off for five months. Beaten a long way when fourth at Listowel, Survivors Sister looks next best.

Gavin Cromwell's WELONLYHAVEDONE looks the pick having won a point and it was a respectable bumper run here at the festival.

14:30 Leicester (Class 5) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (6/5 -9%) Koffee And Kale	1.2 6/5(-9%)	(5) Koffee And Kale 6/5, Ran to form when 3l third in a Musselburgh nursery last time; back from a short break; effective at 5f; could be capable of winning a maiden or handicap off this mark. The most experienced of these and has run well to finish third on his last three starts..
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 +20%) Tie Fighter	4 4/1(+20%)	(7) Tie Fighter 4/1, Showed improvement but failed to convince with stamina for 7f when beaten 5l in a novice here last time; possibly doesn't stay that trip and needs to confirm recent progress. Unplaced on all four starts but much improved effort when sixth of 11 here four weeks ago..
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 -17%) Black Missile	14 14/1(-17%)	(2) Black Missile 14/1, 15 Apr; £40,000 breeze-up purchase by Sergei Prokofiev; half-brother to Mayor Of Maghera, useful at 7f; tough enough task on debut. Stable having a great season but no juvenile winners, so he's likely to need more time..
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 -200%) Fordham Flyer	12 12/1(-200%)	(4) Fordham Flyer 12/1, Improved for debut experience when second beaten 1 1/4l in a Beverley maiden last time; has a speedy pedigree and effective at 5f; needs to build on that effort as the form has had knocks. Much sharper when second of 12 at Beverley (200-1) on stable debut and should go close..
5th	6 5th (6) (15/2 -15%) Smithills	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(6) Smithills 15/2, 26 Apr; Ardad colt; half-brother to Hindley, poor at 6f; trainer in form. Yard rattling in the winners of late with three juveniles scoring already this month..
6th	3 6th (3) (10/3 +72%) Faithful Dream	3.333333 10/3(+72%)	(3) Faithful Dream 10/3, Didn't handle the track and stumbled badly, taking a backward step from debut when fourth beaten 13l in a 6f Newmarket novice; returning from a break and needs to improve significantly. Failed to build on his debut sixth when a well-beaten fourth of 11 at Newmarket in May..
7th	1 7th (1) (150/1 -20%) A Lott Of Kane	150 150/1(-20%)	(1) A Lott Of Kane 150/1, Pulled too hard and found little on a poor debut when well beaten in a 6f novice at Kempton; pedigree points to speed, so the drop to 5f should suit, but has plenty to prove. Last of 11 on debut at Kempton (6f, AW; 300-1) last month..

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

FORDHAM FLYER showed big improvement on his first start for Philip Kirby at Beverley last month. The son of Dream Ahead found plenty for pressure to finish second over the stiff 5f that day and looks one to keep on the right side of with plenty more to come. Koffee And Kale has solid claims back in novice company following a couple of decent efforts in nurseries, while James Tate's yard remains in fine form and Smithills is a newcomer to note.

This looks to be good opportunity for KOFFEE AND KALE to get off the mark. He may have most to fear from debutant Smithills.

14:37 Huntingdon (Class 4) 19f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (4/5 +80%) Crystal Spring	0.8 4/5(+80%)	(7) Crystal Spring 4/5, Outpaced but ran to form when 3l third in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; returning from a break and likely to stay a bit further. Placed over 2m4f on both hurdling starts in May and can make her presence felt again here.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/4 +25%) Scavengers Reign	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(5) Scavengers Reign 9/4, Raced wide but ran to form when 5l third in an amateurs' bumper over 2m at Southwell last time; showed promise in bumpers and point form suggests improvement over further hurdles. Placed on Irish point debut and in both bumpers; likely contender on hurdle debut.
3	8 3rd (8) (14/1 +58%) Topsout	14 14/1(+58%)	(8) Topsout 14/1, Showed some improvement from debut when beaten 10l in a mares' bumper over 2m1f at Cheltenham last time; trainer in form; effective at 2m on good ground; from a top yard but must progress beyond bumper form. Not beaten far when 13th in Cheltenham bumper in April; tricky to weigh up on hurdle debut.
4	2 4th (2) (20/1 -233%) Cosimeasy	20 20/1(-233%)	(2) Cosimeasy 20/1, Improved when winning a maiden at Stradbally over 3m by 4 1/2l last time; absent for a long period but a 3m point winner who acts on good ground; has more to come under rules. Absent since Irish point win in May 2024 but still looks interesting on rules debut.
5th	3 5th (3) (13/2 +28%) Last Note	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(3) Last Note 13/2, Disappointing handicap debut when down the field at Worcester last time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on good ground; needs to bounce back. Flopped on handicap debut but has claims if judged on earlier Market Rasen second.
6th	1 6th (1) (300/1 -200%) Artic Sting	300 300/1(-200%)	(1) Artic Sting 300/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m5f at Market Rasen last time after a short break; yet to show any ability and has appeared a tricky ride. Showed no promise on her first two hurdling starts and can't be recommended here.
7th	4 7th (4) (200/1 -506%) Pate Mollee	200 200/1(-506%)	(4) Pate Mollee 200/1, Down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Taunton last time; hood applied for the first time; has a bit to find. Close second in France last autumn but both British runs for Alan King were poor.

Although unable to justify cramped odds when second on her reappearance at Market Rasen, Settle Down Jill must enter the reckoning in an open-looking affair. However, the five-year-old may prove vulnerable to an improver, with hurdles debutant SCAVENGERS REIGN getting the vote. James Owen's mare has a pointing background and made the frame on both bumper outings last season. Crystal Spring and Cosimeasy are others of interest.

Irish point winner SCAVENGERS REIGN was placed in both bumpers last season and ought to be suited by the step up in trip here.

14:45 Brighton (Class 6) 5f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (9/4 +70%) State Of Madness	2.25 9/4(+70%)	(5) State Of Madness 9/4, Below form when beaten 5l in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; trainer in form and drawn wide; effective at 5/6f on a sound surface though form is tailing off. Maiden; well held on final start for previous yard; well treated now; worth market check.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/4 -13%) Starsong	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(3) Starsong 9/4, Ran to form when landing a 5f Brighton handicap by a head off 53 last time; effective at 5/6f on a sound surface and well suited by the course; looks nicely treated. 2-4 here and escapes a penalty for latest success eight days ago..
3	6 3rd (6) (6/1 +20%) Fai Fai	6 6/1(+20%)	(6) Fai Fai 6/1, Ran to form when beaten a nose off 48 here last time; effective at 5/6f and acts on any ground; competitive mark though form is erratic. Doesn't win very often (3-46) but has made the frame on all five visits here..
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 -17%) Roman Spring	7 7/1(-17%)	(2) Roman Spring 7/1, Ran to form to land a Brighton handicap by a head off 50 last time; drawn wide but suited by 6f and goes well here; on a workable mark. Both wins over C&D, latest when gaining his first handicap success eight days ago..
5th	12 5th (12) (18/1 -50%) Voodoo Ray	18 18/1(-50%)	(12) Voodoo Ray 18/1, Poor effort when beaten 4 1/4l in a Bath handicap last time; likes to race prominently; effective at 6/7f and suited by a sound surface but form regressive. Four of his five wins have been here but has been out of form this year..
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 -11%) Southbank	10 10/1(-11%)	(1) Southbank 10/1, Poorly placed after missing the break and beaten 6l in a Kempton handicap last time; effective at 5-6f on a sound surface but inconsistent of late. First turf win in May; beaten a head at Windsor in August off this mark and holds claims..
7th	10 7th (10) (40/1 -100%) Love You Millions	40 40/1(-100%)	(10) Love You Millions 40/1, Made plenty of use before being comfortably held in a 5f novice at Southwell last time; effective at 5f on good ground but yet to show much worthwhile form. First attempt at 6f on handicap debut and may have more to offer..
8th	13 8th (13) (18/1 -157%) Haveagobeau	18 18/1(-157%)	(13) Haveagobeau 18/1, Produced a career-best when beaten a head off 45 here last time; drawn wide; effective at 5/6f and probably acts on any ground; form heading the right way. 0-24 but almost broke his duck when beaten a head by Roman Spring over C&D eight days ago..
9th	8 9th (8) (20/1 -25%) Colorada Dancer	20 20/1(-25%)	(8) Colorada Dancer 20/1, Poor effort when well beaten down in trip over 5f at Sandown last time; effective at 6/7f and handles soft and good; currently out of form. Well held in three handicaps since winning a 6f classified in August..

12th	11 12th (11) (125/1 -213%) Firenze Rosa	125 125/1(-213%)	(11) Firenze Rosa 125/1, Ran poorly when beaten 9 1/4l in a Bath handicap last time; effective at 5f and ideally wants soft ground; veteran yet to fire this year. Regressive veteran who has finished last on her two recent starts..

Roman Spring made all to score over C&D last week and another good effort looks on the cards, despite carrying 5lb extra. However, STARSONG landed an apprentice race at the same meeting and, given Mick Appleby's charge escapes a penalty for that success, she could prove hard to stop. Fai Fai has a bit to find with the selection but could land a blow.

The one with the most consistent profile here is STARSONG and she looks to have plenty going for her.

14:50 Galway 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (11/4 -69%) Torquay Road	2.75 11/4(-69%)	(1) Torquay Road 11/4, Returned to his best when stepping back up in trip, winning a handicap by 2 1/2l off 100 over 2m2f at Sligo last time. Back from a short break and likely to stay 2 1/2m. Won at Sligo off 7lb lower latest, shorter trip fine but soft ground a concern.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/2 +8%) Harpy Eagle	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(2) Harpy Eagle 11/2, Ran below form when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Navan last time, but had been in good form beforehand. Effective at 2m on good ground, though inconsistent early in his career. Best maiden runs on good, underfoot conditions a concern on handicap debut.
3	10 3rd (10) (7/1 +56%) Bowgate Street	7 7/1(+56%)	(10) Bowgate Street 7/1, Offered no obvious excuse when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m2f at Listowel last time. Largely in poor form this year. Touched off in this last year off 1lb higher, out of form but could revive back here.
4	7 4th (7) (6/1 +40%) Baroness Orczy	6 6/1(+40%)	(7) Baroness Orczy 6/1, Disappointed on handicap debut when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Cork last time. Back from a short break. Poor effort on handicap debut, down in trip and 3lb lower now, a bit to prove.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 +36%) Marelly	14 14/1(+36%)	(3) Marelly 14/1, Never travelled and may have found the ground too fast when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Kilbeggan last time. Prefers some give in the ground. Two-time winner on heavy in late 2022, poor recently but softer conditions may help.
6th	8 6th (8) (28/1 -133%) Zaryagle	28 28/1(-133%)	(8) Zaryagle 28/1, Ran below form when down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Tramore last time. Returns from a short break, effective at 2m on good ground, but inconsistent and his opening mark looks demanding. All maiden runs on decent ground, not obviously well treated for h'cap bow, best watched.
7th	6 7th (6) (4/1 +0%) Moulane West	4 4/1(+0%)	(6) Moulane West 4/1, Ran to form when having the run of the race and beaten 4l off 97 over 2m4f at Sligo last time. Consistent performer but well known to the handicapper. Won off 11lb lower in May, on a tough mark now and assessor slow to relent, place chance.

After landing a maiden on his hurdling debut, TORQUAY ROAD struggled in handicaps last season but a sizeable drop in the ratings has enabled him to be competitive recently and he was back to winning ways at Sligo in August. He's effectively off the same mark with a good 7lb claimer taking the mount and drying ground will suit. He won over a bit further last time and that stamina will be important at this venue. Harpy Eagle was placed in a pair of good-ground maidens and is of interest on his handicap debut. Zaryagle showed ability on his penultimate start at Roscommon, while Moulane West is held by the selection on Sligo running but has place claims.

A few of these have questions to answer so a chance is taken on last year's runner up BOWGATE STREET who is 1lb lower now

Effective over 5-6f, yet to convince with stamina for 7f; acts on soft, good, and good to firm; open to some improvement. Close up in Southwell nurseries (6f, AW) and didn't appear to see out the 7f at Chester.

THEHUNNEBELLLEGACY seemed to find 7f beyond her at Chester last time. Richard Fahey's filly had shaped much better in a couple of nurseries over this distance on the all-weather before that, and could prove the one to side with. Catterick winner Maasai Mata is not out of this, while Lady Lucky Vegas and Arry Up are both worth a second look handicapping for the first time.

An open nursery. Handicap debutant ARRY UP looks open to more improvement than many after an improved third at Windsor.

Having posted a solid third on his reappearance at Plumpton last month, any improvement could see ON THE GO open his account. Daire McConville claims a handy 7lb off the five-year-old's back, which could prove fruitful. Carlton scored on the all-weather at Chelmsford 19 days ago and isn't taken lightly given his previous placed effort at Worcester, while Charlie My Boy may appreciate a return to the scene of his last success.

Forcetoreckonwith is open to improvement but ON THE GO launched his handicap career with two good efforts and gets the nod.

CIARRAI ABU has to be of interest having finished strongly for sixth in a tougher maiden over 7f at the Curragh on debut. He's subsequently switched to Harry Eustace's yard and a bold bid is anticipated over this extra furlong. Snaafy posted an improved effort at Haydock last time and is another likely to appreciate this longer trip, while A Taste of Glory is also worth noting on the back of his fourth at Goodwood.

The choice is CIARRAI ABU who looks an intriguing prospect for his new yard after his eyecatching debut at the Curragh in August.

Cian Collins and Eoin Staples have good claims in the previous contest with Torquay Road and that is the case again here with the progressive SPORTING GLANCE. The Coastal Path gelding won readily here on his handicap debut and followed up with an equally comfortable success in a rated novice at Downpatrick. He has shot up the ratings, but looks capable of landing the hat-trick. Beaten around six lengths when third to the selection at this venue, Kingkong Ciergues is now 19lb better off, which obviously gives him a good chance on paper. Jacovec Cavern comes into this in good form and has to enter calculations.

OH YES YOU DO may find this easier than her debut second at Goodwood in August. David Menuisier's filly is likely to have benefited from that experience and a breakthrough victory may be imminent. Newcomer Moon Is Up, a half-sister to smart dual-purpose performer Nemean Lion, is a potential fly in the ointment and market support would be interesting. Ammoony and Nor Zamin are others open to improvement.

None of these have overly convincing claims but NOR ZAMIN showed a nice bit of potential on her debut and this longer trip should suit.

3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 +36%) Davidoc	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(5) Davidoc 7/2, May not have stayed when second, beaten 10l in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Worcester latest. Wears a hood for the first time; trainer in form; returning from a short break; can finish weakly. 0-8 over fences for Ben Pauling but largely consistent; won't be far away on stable debut.
4	4 4th (4) (14/1 -75%) Catchim	14 14/1(-75%)	(4) Catchim 14/1, Made mistakes and ran below form when unsuited by the drop in trip, comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m1f at Worcester last time. Returning from a break and has a bit to find. 0-4 over fences but his Haydock second in the spring brings him right into this.

Returning from a break; well treated on hurdle form but beat little so won't want to rise in the weights. Won two hurdles and two chases for new stable in first half of this year; back from break.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (12/1 -200%) Midnight Jewel	12 12/1(-200%)	(1) Midnight Jewel 12/1, Rallied gamely and ran to his best when landing a handicap by 3/4l off 109 over 2m3f at Fontwell last time. Effective at 2 1/2m, acts on a sound surface, and prefers to dominate. Dual chase winner this season, latterly when battling on well at Fontwell last month.

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

Having secured a fourth course victory at Fontwell just over a fortnight ago, Midnight Jewel merits respect in his follow-up bid off just 1lb higher. However, he does have more on his plate and the returning PEP TALKING looks more progressive. The seven-year-old found only a subsequent dual winner too strong on his hat-trick bid at Warwick in May and a similar performance may suffice. Jackpot Cash and Davidoc cannot be ruled out either.

Cases can be made for all six runners but the pick is PEP TALKING (nap), who made excellent progress for Billy Aprahamian last season.

Blinkers go on for the first time. Possibly best at an easy 12f, acts on good to firm ground and handles Brighton, but poor in his last two starts. C&D winner in the summer; may need the ground to dry out; tongue-tie on.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 +50%) Steely Dan	4 4/1(+50%)	(7) Steely Dan 4/1, Showed similarly modest form to his first two starts when down the field in a novice over 8f at Windsor last time. Likely to need middle distances given his breeding and stable profile, but has little tangible form so far. Nothing in three starts, but nicely bred and market interesting on handicap debut.
3	5 3rd (5) (3/1 +40%) Honour Whim	3 3/1(+40%)	(5) Honour Whim 3/1, Ran below form when back up in trip, finishing fourth and beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time.

7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 -6%) Dotties Star	9 9/1(-6%)	(2) Dotties Star 9/1, Well beaten in a novice hurdle over 2m at Lingfield last time. Showed solid Flat form late in 2024 and is suited by 10-12f on ground with some give, but probably needs this run after a long break. Sole win in 20 starts came over hurdles; possible he will need this after eight months off.
8th	9 8th (9) (28/1 -100%) Broadhaven Bay	28 28/1(-100%)	(9) Broadhaven Bay 28/1, Showed his best effort for a while after a wind operation when beaten 3l off 50 over 8f at Bath last time. A nursery winner last year and may get back on track if his breathing issues are resolved. 5f nursery winner here last year; nothing in pedigree suggests he wants this sort of trip.
9th	6 9th (6) (18/1 +28%) Mostly Mozart	18 18/1(+28%)	(6) Mostly Mozart 18/1, Produced a poor effort when comfortably held in a handicap at Bath last time. Effective at 10f on the all-weather, but otherwise shows no worthwhile form. 0-9 and has shown nothing in three starts on turf; still has stamina to prove.

Having relished a drop in distance when scoring over 1m2f at Bath last month, THE DARK BARON may eclipse his rivals once more. An extra couple of furlongs looks ideal and the three-year-old may take a 5lb higher mark in his stride. Honour Whim wasn't disgraced on her latest fourth on the all-weather and she's feared most reverting to turf, ahead of the returning Dotties Star.

This can go to THE DARK BARON (nap) who did it well when getting off the mark at Bath last month.

On long losing run, out of form over fences recently, needs a revival back over hurdles.

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

The John Patrick Ryan-trained KILASHEE can gain a first win of the campaign. A game front-runner who has seven previous victories to her name, the daughter of Oscar has conditions in her favour. Michael Kenneally, who got a great tune out of the 10-year-old when runner-up over fences at Roscommon, retains the ride. Sure to have learned plenty about the mare on that occasion, he should make another bold bid from the front. Navan second Ladiam looks the biggest danger. The Norman Lee-trained eight-year-old was a winner at Sligo earlier in the year and has been consistent of late. Gers Gigi needs to improve, but has to be respected for an in-form partnership.

Solid recent form is thin on the ground but LADIAM has posted decent efforts in two of her last three runs and she is a tentative pick

Prizeland, a full-sister to the 2022 Derby runner-up Hoo Ya Mal, requires close examination in the betting and a big performance on her opening bid wouldn't surprise. However, TAMZAN has posted two respectable fourth-placed efforts to date and that experience may prove decisive. Lillie Margot offered enough on last month's debut third at Haydock to suggest that she can play a prominent role as well.

Femme Fatale is a danger but LILLIE MARGOT ran a really nice first race at Haydock behind a potentially high-class winner.

LYNESS DANCER was beaten nine lengths into second over the smaller obstacles at Worcester last month and now makes her chasing bow. The six-year-old may prove a different proposition over fences and she looks the way to go. The Dark Edge fell on his sole chase outing at Bangor in May, but he isn't one to write off. Of the remainder, Reforme makes the most appeal.

Chasing debutante LYNESS DANCER was quite a stylish course winner over hurdles here on her stable debut in May and gets the vote.

Agapanther ended her summer campaign in Jersey with two solid runner-up efforts and she must enter calculations on the back of a 43-day break. However, STINTINO SUNSET's latest second at Bath looks slightly stronger and, off an unchanged mark, the five-year-old edges the vote. Kirkuila performed better than her recent third at Ffos Las suggests and Faye Bramley's mare is worth a second look too.

Last year's fourth Fighting Poet would have a better chance on drying ground. The consistent mare STINTINO SUNSET rates as the pick

WILL THE WISE can register a first win over fences. A distant second at Killarney in May, the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding had previously shaped with promise when fifth over an inadequate trip on his chasing debut. With the benefit of that experience, the six-year-old should prove difficult to beat. A former point-to-point winner, he has the potential to make up into a decent novice this term. A three-time winner over hurdles, Ol Man Dingle also gives the impression he could prove to be a better chaser. Runner-up on his only point-to-point run, the Eoin Griffin-trained gelding has to be of interest. Fourth here on his chasing debut, More Coko is entitled to progress.

Interesting. MORE COKO has the benefit of chasing experience and it was a good run against respected opposition here in July.

Quite small but potentially smart over 5f and not likely to want further yet. Won sole 2yo start; missed 2024; inconclusive in 2025 but 5f on handicap debut can suit.
9th	8 9th (8) (28/1 -27%) Law Of Average	28 28/1(-27%)	(8) Law Of Average 28/1, Ran to form but went too freely in first-time blinkers when beaten 3l off 84 at Lingfield last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Likes to lead and is suited by 5f on quick turf. Out of form in 2025 but hinted at a revival last time. Made running for all three turf wins at 5f; not got going this year; easy lead unlikely.
10th	10 10th (10) (28/1 -100%) Belgrave	28 28/1(-100%)	(10) Belgrave 28/1, Found little when comfortably held in a 6f Yarmouth handicap last time. Blinkers go on for the first time. His best form has come on testing ground and he's effective at 6f, though currently out of form. Won 6f novice (heavy) here as 2yo; disappointing in 2025; first 5f run; headgear on.

Although still open to improvement on his handicap bow, an official rating of 84 does demand more of Natural Force judged on this season's third-placed efforts at Ripon and Newcastle. With that in mind, perseverance may pay dividends with SMART VISION, who has posted two creditable efforts in defeat since landing the spoils at Beverley in August. Knebworth and Tiva are other live threats judged on the pick of their form.

A strong pace looks guaranteed. Smart Vision can go well again but TIVA still has potential in handicaps and is preferred.

Effective at 3m on good ground but can be inconsistent. Game winner ay Southwell in May but two lesser efforts followed; has a point to prove.

Effective over 2½–3m on good ground and currently in good form. Three hurdle wins since April; looked suited by step up to 3m1f when second last month.

CASTING ASPERSIONS justified favouritism to complete the hat-trick at Market Rasen in June and returns off a 10lb higher rating. The six-year-old has gone from strength to strength since switching to the Fergal O'Brien stable and can continue on his upward trajectory. The Wise Traveller sprung a 25/1 surprise to beat Land Girl's Luck by a length at Plumpton and it would be no surprise to see him confirm that form to go close.

The Wise Traveller made all to beat LAND GIRL'S LUCK at Plumpton last month but the latter is still unexposed over this trip.

Dinah Myte got off the mark over this trip at Ffos Las on her most recent outing and holds an obvious chance, despite her 6lb penalty. However, GONE ROGUE bounced back to form when just touched off into second over 7f here last time and goes off an unchanged rating. If the son of Gustav Klimt is in similar form, he could prove hard to beat. Bretton Wood looks best of the rest.

Preference is for GONE ROGUE, who went very close over 7f here last week and gets another chance off the same mark today.

Runner-up on his last two outings, INTHENICKOFTIME can step up a place. Having been beaten less than a length on his most recent start over fences, at Roscommon in June, the Enda Bolger-trained gelding took minor honours back over hurdles last time. Reverting to fences once again, the five-year-old is unexposed in this discipline after just the three starts and it would be no surprise to see him take another step forward. A winner at Wexford in August, Finnians Row then ran well when dropped in trip at Ballinrobe and should appreciate the stiffer test. Vaureal is also worthy of respect for the Ian Donoghue yard.

A clear second last time back hurdling and nearly a winner the run before over fences, INTHENICKOFTIME (nap) looks the solid option.

HAADERR failed to justify odds-on favouritism when taking the silver medal home at Thirsk, but that was still a step forward from his introduction and Ed Bethell's colt looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to get off the mark. Nova Centauri has shown ability in both of his appearances, most recently finishing third over a mile at Yarmouth, and has to be respected. Toastmaster completes the shortlist.

Dual silver medallist HAADERR could well go one better. Dual bronze medallist Nova Centauri is feared most on form.

HOPEWELL ROCK produced a good effort when filling the runner-up spot at Doncaster last month and is just 3lb higher. The son of New Bay could have more to offer on just his third start in a handicap and can score for the in-form George Boughey stable. Sovereign Sea only found one too good at the same venue on his most recent outing and should remain competitive, despite a 2lb higher rating. Spinning Wheel is another to keep an eye on.

The 3yo WARRANT HOLDER (nap) beat the St Leger runner-up in a novice and his latest conqueror is probably pretty good.

LTO Selection:

With no form to go on, only a tentative vote is handed to BANKATARY, who is a half-brother to a couple of winners and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye. If the market vibes are strong, he might be the one to side with. Miss Veronika is a half-sister to a three-time scorer on the level and the daughter of Cityscape has to be of interest for the Brian Ellison team. Any market confidence behind Crack Ops would be interesting.

The selection from this field of newcomers is EQUITY RELEASE, who is out of a useful and well-connected Flat winner.

King Of War struck by a short head over track and trip recently and commands respect, but the vote goes to BLUE COLLAR LAD. Daniel Steele's charge wasn't disgraced in third over C&D last month and was kindly dropped 1lb. With Jason Watson booked, he could be the one to beat. Mashaan occupied the runner-up berth at Lingfield in August and isn't ruled out either.

In a race lacking a standout, last year's runner-up BLUE COLLAR LAD receives the vote, viewed as more reliable than most.

The Joseph O'Brien-trained ZEUS POWER has to be of interest on his racecourse debut. By a Melbourne Cup winner, the four-year-old is bred for a test of stamina, but he should also have a degree of speed given his pedigree. The booking of John Gleeson certainly suggests that he is forward enough to know his job. Answer That would have leading claims on his initial run, when second to a decent filly at Gowran Park in January. However, having finished tailed off at Punchestown subsequently, he comes with a health warning. Quinta Brigada could run a big race for his capable trainer.

A chance is taken on the Flat-bred ZEUS POWER, whose stable won this in 2017 and 2018. A few of these look open to improvement.

Ghisa sprung a 20/1 surprise to make a winning debut at Wolverhampton and is likely to have lots more to offer, but the vote goes to ZARINCA. The daughter of Expert Eye shaped with plenty of promise when just denied on her introduction at Newcastle and, with any amount of improvement to come, she could be the one to beat. Stepinmydirection is another to watch out for.

The most promising contenders are Newcastle runner-up ZARINCA and Wolverhampton scorer Ghisa.

Holbache made it two wins from his last three starts when striking over C&D last month and is likely to be on the premises. However, THE ORGANISER accounted for Havana Gila (third) when returning to winning ways at Brighton and can confirm his authority over that rival to complete a double. Big Apple Jack is far from out of it either.

Bar one blip at York, BIG APPLE JACK has been doing well in handicaps and he came from well behind to be fourth at Ripon last time.

Soho Square ran too badly to be true when last on her handicap bow at Sandown and can't be written off on her first outing for the Ed Bethell stable. Lady Wingalong finished third, just behind a subsequent winner, at Chester and is noted but NOEL FOX is preferred. Jennie Candlish's charge made the frame over 6f here on her latest outing and is just 1lb higher. The step back up in trip might bring about the improvement required to score.

This looks to be a decent opportunity for NOEL FOX to land her first win for her current trainer. The main danger is Havana Halo.

AFTER LOVE had to wait for a gap to appear before scoring by a neck over C&D last week. She showed a good turn of foot once in the clear and may well defy a 6lb penalty on only her second start for George Boughey's yard. Brighton winner Unico could feature again back on the all-weather, while Addarella and Moostar enter the equation as well.

Moostar needs a hard look in the betting but AFTER LOVE handled this C&D well when winning for her new yard and can follow up.

2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 +38%) Masterclass	5 5/1(+38%)	(5) Masterclass 5/1, Outpaced and never threatened when beaten 5l in a Pontefract handicap last time. Usually held up. Suited by 5f on any surface. An inconsistent performer but on a workable mark. Only 1-22 on AW but ran creditably on most recent start in this sphere.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/1 -11%) Dorothy May	10 10/1(-11%)	(8) Dorothy May 10/1, Raced too freely when beaten 3 1/4l off 52 at Newcastle last time. Suited by 5f on the all-weather. In good form prior to that run but looks on a tough mark now. Registered sole win in classified event; not the percentage call.
4	9 4th (9) (33/1 +0%) My Turn Now	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) My Turn Now 33/1, Well below form when beaten in a Wolverhampton handicap last time. Drawn wide. Suited by 5f on the all-weather but has been poor on both starts since returning. Form has tailed off since March classified success.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 +36%) Newyorkstateofmind	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(1) Newyorkstateofmind 7/2, Met trouble in running when beaten a length off a mark of 54 at Newcastle last time. Effective over 5-6f and best at 5f on a sound surface. Fairly treated but has a poor strike rate and needs a decent pace to aim at. Record of 0-16 this year but recent form features two close seconds on AW.
6th	7 6th (7) (4/1 +0%) Colors Of Freedom	4 4/1(+0%)	(7) Colors Of Freedom 4/1, Raced freely but ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off 51 at Wolverhampton last time. Effective over 5f on the all-weather and goes particularly well at Wolverhampton. Record of 7-31 on AW; largely consistent since last win; solid.

Drawn wide but suited by 5f on the all-weather. Well treated if able to build on that recent revival. Resurgent with close third last time; remains well treated on best form.
9th	4 9th (4) (16/1 -256%) Scent Of May	16 16/1(-256%)	(4) Scent Of May 16/1, Showed a willing attitude when winning a Chepstow maiden by a short head last time. Drawn wide but effective at 5-6f on the all-weather. Fairly treated if repeating that effort. Possibilities if backing up the form of her Chepstow maiden win.
10th	12 10th (12) (125/1 -89%) Lilac Wood	125 125/1(-89%)	(12) Lilac Wood 125/1, Continued in poor form when comfortably held in a 6f novice at Wolverhampton last time. Yet to show any worthwhile ability in all-weather sprints. Needs major improvement on handicap debut.
11th	3 11th (3) (5/1 +17%) Fortunate Star	5 5/1(+17%)	(3) Fortunate Star 5/1, No obvious excuse when beaten 5l in a handicap at Pontefract last time. Effective at 5-6f and acts on any surface. In moderate form but the handicapper is beginning to relent. Largely respectable record on AW features two C&D wins last November.
12th	2 12th (2) (16/1 -78%) She Went Whoosh	16 16/1(-78%)	(2) She Went Whoosh 16/1, Ran to current form when beaten 2l off 56 at Lingfield last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time. Effective at 5f on the all-weather. Out of form since her spring win. Gained sole win off 5lb higher; good chance if taking well to headgear.

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

SHE WENT WHOOSH won off a 5lb higher mark at Lingfield back in April. Richard Hannon's filly showed signs of a resurgence when fourth at the same track on her latest start and could bounce back fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Newyorkstateofmind is regularly in the mix at this level, while there could be more to come from Chepstow maiden winner Scent Of May.

Attractively handicapped GOLDEN RAINBOW is taken to regain the winning thread. Fortunate Star is second pick.

1	4 1st (4) (7/2 +42%) Moab	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(4) Moab 7/2, Ran to form but looked in need of a stiffer test when beaten 3 1/2l off 58 over 11f at Kempton last time. Effective 10-12f on a sound surface; should stay further and is well treated on maiden and jumps form. Overall record is 0-13 but he has possibilities if the new trip suits.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/11 +52%) Universal Story	0.727273 8/11(+52%)	(1) Universal Story 8/11, Improved again for a comfortable win, landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off 67 over 2m here last time. Effective 14-16f; progressing if a little short on enthusiasm. Scored comfortably at Southwell eight days ago to complete a quickfire double; respected.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/1 +70%) Doddington Guy	10 10/1(+70%)	(5) Doddington Guy 10/1, Disappointing when stepped up in trip on handicap debut, finishing down the field at Sandown last time. Returning from a break; effective over 12f; current mark looks stiff. Four-race maiden; some promise in sole AW attempt; may show progress.
4	2 4th (2) (15/2 -200%) Tamaris	7.5 15/2(-200%)	(2) Tamaris 15/2, 7yo's form is improving on the Flat, having won a handicap by 2 1/4l off 60 over 2m1f at Wolverhampton last time. Returning after a long absence; a contender. Absent since scoring off just 1lb lower in April 2024 (stable debut); market helpful.
5th	3 5th (3) (10/1 -233%) Alfie D	10 10/1(-233%)	(3) Alfie D 10/1, Ran to form when relishing the longer trip, finishing 7l third in a handicap over 12f at Wolverhampton on his latest run. Trainer in form; effective over 12f, a thorough stayer who needs more to defy this mark. Interesting contender, with improvement possible upped further in distance.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -65%) Rosso Levanto	66 66/1(-65%)	(6) Rosso Levanto 66/1, Up in trip and may not have stayed when fourth, beaten 15l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest. Cheekpieces first time; effective over 12f and acts on AW; inconsistent but tactically versatile. 3yo maiden who faded into a modest fourth when upped to 1m6f last time.

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

Universal Story bids for a hat-trick having defied top weight when scoring over the extended 2m here last week. She is preferred to Tamaris, who is also chasing a treble on his first start since April 2024, but a chance is taken on ALFIE D. James Tate's three-year-old was doing his best work at the finish when staying on for third over 1m4f at Wolverhampton and this extra test of stamina should bring further improvement.

The 4yo filly UNIVERSAL STORY (nap) is showing good progress for her new stable and gets the vote ahead of Alfie D.

1	2 1st (2) (9/2 +36%) Little Miss India	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(2) Little Miss India 9/2, Forced wide from a poor draw when well beaten in a handicap at Kempton last time. Wears a hood for the first time; suited by 10f and a sound surface, but this maiden has shown inconsistent form. Record is 0-9 but she has possibilities if taking well to first-time hood.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/2 +0%) Major Major	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(6) Major Major 11/2, Returned to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 56 over 10f at Chelmsford last time. Effective from 10f to 12f and acts on any surface; appears to be running into form. Back to form when second at Chelmsford; could go well off unaltered mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/8 +61%) Mr Nugget	1.375 11/8(+61%)	(4) Mr Nugget 11/8, Ran to current form when beaten 4l off 59 over 12f at Wolverhampton last time. The trainer is in form and he is effective from 10f to 12f on the all-weather, though his recent form has been moderate. Record is only 1-15 but he gained the win off 2lb higher over C&D; interesting.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 -191%) Shamardal Star	4 4/1(-191%)	(3) Shamardal Star 4/1, Improved to win cosily after a troubled passage, landing a 10f handicap by 1/2l off 54 at Newcastle last time. Usually held up and may progress further now stepping up to 12f after getting his head in front. Looked value for more than the winning margin at Newcastle last time; respected.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 +0%) Harry The Haggler	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Harry The Haggler 12/1, Raced too freely after a break and was comfortably held in a 12f handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Effective from 8f to 12f on the all-weather; on a workable mark but needs to put that reappearance run behind him. Won at Southwell in February; well below par on return from break last time.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 -33%) Carnival Zain	10 10/1(-33%)	(1) Carnival Zain 10/1, Unlucky last time when unable to get a run but ran to form, beaten 3l off a mark of 60 over 10f at Newcastle. Effective from 7f to 10f and unexposed at the trip; dropped in the weights and could build on that effort. Recent form is encouraging but his long losing spell remains a concern.
7th	7 7th (7) (150/1 -50%) Tilsworth Silver	150 150/1(-50%)	(7) Tilsworth Silver 150/1, Never threatened when finishing down the field in a 10f handicap at Bath last time. Wears a hood for the first time; has shown no worthwhile form so far. Form is decidedly poor; hood applied.

A return to 1m2f proved just the tonic for SHAMARDAL STAR when he scored a shade cosily at Newcastle in August. The placed horses have run with credit since and a 5lb higher mark for Richard Fahey's charge looks surmountable. Major Major bounced back to form with a good second at Chelmsford and he isn't taken lightly off an unchanged rating. The five-year-old is feared most, ahead of Mr Nugget.

Preference is for Newcastle scorer SHAMARDAL STAR, who may have more to offer at this sort of trip for his new stable.

Having made a winning stable bow at Redcar, there could be more to come from FIRE EYES. Although a 6lb higher mark demands more from Roger Fell's mare, a switch to Tapeta holds no fear for her. Bizarre Law appeared freshened up by a 74-day break when finishing third at Wolverhampton last month and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, with Create the pick of the remainder.

A chance is taken on JUST KING HIGH. The shortlist is completed by Fire Eyes and Create.

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.
