CALSHOT SPIT has been in fine form under both codes of late and a return to softer ground conditions holds no fear. Sheena West's charge looks fairly treated off 6lb higher than last month's C&D victory and he's taken to follow up. Russian Rumour also has a good record here and a reproduction of her latest second at Ffos Las would likely see her involved. The seven-year-old is feared most, ahead of Made For You.

Plenty are in with a shout. C&D winner RUSSIAN RUMOUR rates the pick at these weights so edges the vote at the chief expense of Catterck runner-up Tarbat Ness. Grey Owl, Al Sayah and Calshot Spit all need considering too in this very open contest.

If recent C&D winner Calshot Spit has a chance then so too does TIGERTEN (nap) who has a 6lb pull for last month's defeat.
Class & Speed Card

Can't Stop Now got up in the dying strides to score over C&D nine days ago and has to be respected under a 4lb penalty. However, a chance can be taken on UP THE JAZZ, who made the frame in a warmer contest than this at Redcar last month and might be able to capitalise off an unchanged mark. Inappropriate completes the shortlist.

SUSIESPARKLE has been in fine form since joining Iain Jardine and might be able to gain compensation for near misses on her last 2 outings. Inappropriate rates an obvious danger after coming good at Beverley last time. Eeetee and handicap newcomer Melinda complete the shortlist.

Savrola and Susiesparkle are high on the list but the 3yo INAPPROPRIATE (nap) looks the one to beat.
Class & Speed Card

Mirabad was no match for a useful sort at Kempton in May, but this doesn't look as deep and he merits respect under the penalty. That said, HOLA HERMOSA made a winning hurdles debut at Worcester in July and with the prospect of more to come, she could double her tally. Call To Duty might not be far away either.

Given MIRABAD's Flat ability, there should be plenty more to come from him as a hurdler this term, so he's taken to successfully concede weight all round. Call To Duty impressed with his jumping at Stratford so he rates a threat, along with Hola Hermosa.

This isn't at all strong and MIRABAD might well be up to defying a penalty on the back of a wind operation.
Class & Speed Card

The experienced MINT CANDY can register a first win. A promising fourth on her debut at Tipperary in August, the Dubawi filly was just denied at Gowran Park on her second start. Although a beaten odds-on favourite at Punchestown last time, the Aidan O'Brien-trained juvenile may not have entirely acted on that track. In what is arguably a weaker race, she is taken to open her account at the fourth time of asking. Joyful Princess, who finished two places in front of Mint Candy at Gowran Park, is almost certain to be involved once again. The Jessica Harrington-trained filly stayed on well to take minor honours close home. Cork fifth Restful stayed on late once the penny dropped on her recent debut. She is another capable of getting involved.

JOYFUL PRINCESS improved on her debut run despite not looking the finished article when second at Punchestown 3 weeks ago and expected to progress again, she's marginally preferred in favour of Mint Candy. Annie's Angel could be the pick of the newcomers.

JOYFUL PRINCESS and Mint Candy are closely matched on form and the former should relish this new trip
Class & Speed Card

RORY ROCKET should have learned plenty from his debut experience when second on a quick surface at Brighton last month and a breakthrough victory could be in the offing. Although the son of Aclaim faces more testing ground conditions here, his pedigree suggests that it may not be a problem. Think Of A Name looks the type who will enjoy this drop in distance and he may serve the most resistance to the selection. Bust A Moon is next best.

This is likely to go the way of RORY ROCKET, who shaped well amid greenness when runner-up on debut in a Brighton maiden and he will be more street-wise this time. It was rather surprising that Bust A Moon contested a 7f race on his recent introduction at Chelmsford given his speedy pedigree, and he is likely to be seen in an altogether better light now down to the minimum trip. Think of A Name and newcomer Mini Mac are others to consider.

This is a modest contest and it wouldn't be a surprise should MINI MAC have a major say on his debut.
Class & Speed Card

THE BLAGGARD didn't look the most straight forward of horses when soundly beaten on his first two starts before attracting the attention of the stewards when putting in a much improved display at Listowel last month, staying on well into fourth behind stablemate Kingdom Calling. Polly Poppins has shown promise when racing keenly on all three outings including when finding no extra from two out over C&D last month and looks capable of winning over hurdles if learning to settle. Point-to-point winner Shantou Princess is another to consider while Finnicky Filly would be a threat if recapturing the form of her fourth at Tipperary back in May.

THE BLAGGARD could have more to offer on the back of his eye-catching fourth at Listowel recently and gets the vote. Gordon Elliott's Spinola Bay has the potential to leave his Roscommon hurdle debut run behind and is second choice ahead of last month's course fourth Polly Poppins.

An eyecatcher on return at Listowel last time when still looking green, THE BLAGGARD can improve enough to take this
Class & Speed Card

It was hard not to be impressed by HORNSEA BAY's debut victory over track and trip last month and he has plenty of scope for improvement. If the son of New Bay can take a step forward, he could prove tough to beat despite carrying a penalty. Last Galileo is the obvious danger after finishing second on his debut at Redcar, while newcomer Ridgemaster is another to note.

HORNSEA BAY looked a good prospect when making a winning debut over C&D 3 weeks ago and under a penalty, David O'Meara's colt can confirm his superiority over Bambalam, who was given a much more positive ride that day and duly left his debut effort behind. Last Galileo should come on for his second at Redcar recently, so he rounds off the shortlist.

Having produced a sparkling display on his debut, HORNSEA BAY can confirm his superiority over Bambalam.
Class & Speed Card

Twice a winner over hurdles earlier this year, FLORENCETHEMACHINE has few miles on the clock and, with chasing sure to be more her game, the daughter of Malinas can make an immediate impact. A switch to the larger obstacles should also benefit Magical Escape and Kim Bailey's Ffos Las winner can make his presence felt, while A Definite Getaway heads the remainder.

FLORENCETHEMACHINE improved for the step up to 3m when successful over hurdles at Chepstow in the spring and a point success at the start of her career provides hope that she can do well over the larger obstacles. Fellow chase newcomer Magical Escape is feared most.

Chasing debutants MAGICAL ESCAPE and Florencethemachine both have considerable potential and may fight this out.
Class & Speed Card

Sligo fourth JARETH can take this for in-form Curragh trainer John O'Donoghue. Slowly away on debut, the Make Believe gelding kept on well inside the final furlong. With the second and third winning subsequently, that form has a decent look to it. Absent since finishing sixth on his debut at Down Royal in June, Califer shouldn't be far away on his return from a break. The Gavin Cromwell-trained colt will appreciate stepping up to a mile, having looked outpaced over 7f before staying on in the closing stages. Jessica Harrington's Kurrawa has been a consistent filly in recent starts. Although her best chance would have appeared to be in handicaps, a mark of 73 sets the standard in this ordinary race.

Not a strong maiden and while KURRAWA isn't bred to relish this trip, she's been shaping as though she'll stay this far so she looks the way to go. Calcifer and Jareth are a couple of potential threats.

It may be worth taking a flyer on JARETH who shaped with promise on debut and should appreciate this new trip
Class & Speed Card

SISTERS IN THE SKY returned to form when staying on into third over track and trip nine days ago. The five-year-old did best of those held up that day and compensation could beckon in this company. The biggest threat may emerge from Louis Treize, who is 1lb lower than his respectable third at Chepstow last month. You Are Everything's mark continues to fall and a return to this venue may help.

FIRENZE ROSA has failed to fire the last twice but the addition of blinkers and forecast soft surface may prove to be a winning combination for this 9-y-o. She shades preference ahead of Sisters In The Sky, who scored off a 1 lb higher mark here during the summer and he put in a good late work following a tardy start when third over C&D last week. Louis Treize and You Are Everything can do battle for minor honours.

All of these find winning difficult these days. Marginal preference is for SISTERS IN THE SKY who ran well here last week.
Class & Speed Card

MAGGIE WALSH gets the vote having won twice over hurdles already this year including over C&D in June. She subsequently ran well off this rating at Kilbeggan and takes a drop in class after finishing in rear behind Lot Of Joy at Gowran. Hollow Spark makes a quick reappearance under a 7lb penalty after opening her account at Gowran last Friday but is not the most consistent of performers and this softer ground is a concern. Stablemate Thefaithfulindian is best with plenty of cut while Rene Artois was absent for a year before a couple of recent outings and showed promise in a similar event at Gowran last week. She's On Line was also far from disgraced recently at Killarney.

HOLLOW SPARK built on the promise of her previous run when scoring at Gowran last week and a 7 lb penalty may not prevent the follow up. Be Fierce and She's On Line should also go well.

Hollow Spark has to be respected but preference is for BE FIERCE who ran well at Kilbeggan last time and has placed form here.
Class & Speed Card

Golden Valour had Alpine Sierra (fourth) behind when he occupied the runner-up berth over C&D recently and it would be no surprise to see him confirm that form. However, LUMENBOURG looks the way to go. Julie Camacho's three-year-old produced a pleasing effort when hitting the crossbar in this grade at Redcar on his most recent start and a repeat of that effort might be good enough.

LUMENBOURG is a 3-y-o heading in the right direction and can prove too strong for Alpine Sierra and C&D specialist Jkr Cobbler.

Mighty Power is capable of a big run off his lowly turf mark but LUMENBOURG beat him at Doncaster and may do so again.
Class & Speed Card

The vote goes to ROARING HOME, who chased home the now 135-rated Gale Mahler in a bumper at Southwell in May. Those with hurdling experience do not set a particularly high standard, so given a clean round of jumping she might be tough to beat. Leloopa struck the woodwork at Newton Abbot recently and she's feared on the back of that performance, while others to note include Soleil D'arizona and Definite Dream.

ROARING HOME made a bright start in bumpers, running right up to her best when second at Southwell when last seen in May. She's very much the type to make her mark over hurdles and earns the vote on return to action. Fairly useful French recruit Soleil d'Arizona is another of interest now starting out over hurdles for Dan Skelton. Mavis Pike can emerge best of those with previous hurdles experience.

This can go to ROARING HOME, who pushed a subsequent Listed hurdle winner all the way to the line when second in a bumper in May.
Class & Speed Card

A consistent performer in similar races all season, SKONTONOVSKI can strike for the first time since Fairyhouse in July. A six-time winner on the Polytrack at Dundalk, the Ado McGuinness-trained gelding is rated 15lb lower on turf. Having finished behind a couple of these rivals in recent outings, the seven-year-old is weighted to reverse those form lines here. Listowel winner Amemri travelled easily in the box seat under Luke McAteer before picking up well to win cosily. David Marnane's filly is entitled to be a leading contender once again. Cork runner-up Warazam was just denied by a subsequent unlucky loser. Dylan Browne McMonagle stays loyal to the filly here so that should definitely be noted.

This has a wide-open feel but ASISAID has fallen to a workable mark and shaped as though the return to 1m would suit when staying on for sixth at Galway 4 weeks ago. He gets the nod ahead of Pink Socks, who appeals as being in better heart than recent form figures suggest. Low-mileage Warazam and Listowel scorer Amemri complete the dangers.

There was plenty to like about WARAZAM's h'cap debut at Cork last week and she's far less exposed than most in here
Class & Speed Card

Lmay sets the standard on official ratings and is respected, but she has yet to score at this level and might have to settle for a minor placing. Fairy Glen was narrowly denied in a similar event at Longchamp recently and another bold bid looks likely, but it is FOREST FAIRY that shades preference. Off the track since failing to fire in the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock, she looks certain to appreciate an ease in grade and it would come as no surprise were she to bounce back.

FAIRY GLEN should have more to come as her stamina is drawn out and it's worth taking a chance that she can cope with ground that is likely to be much softer than she's faced previously. Dual Grade 1 hurdle winner Marie's Rock showed very useful form on her Flat debut back in May and is second choice ahead of Lmay. It also wouldn't come as a surprise to see Forest Fairy resume her progression with her sights lowered after a break.

With Ralph Beckett's yard on a high it could be worth chancing FOREST FAIRY. This softer ground could be what she's after.
Class & Speed Card

SAVANTE looked a useful mare when landing a Punchestown bumper on debut in June. The form of that race has received a number of boosts recently with the third, Aruntothequeen, landing a Listed bumper at Gowran last week and the fourth (Sansrisk) easily winning a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on Monday. She subsequently disappointed at Killarney but hopefully can bounce back switching to hurdles. Cool Park rates an obvious threat and may have found 3m too far when third to World Of Fortunes (won again since) at Wexford in August, while Love Like This has plenty of experience over hurdles and was placed again at Killarney last Sunday.

COOL PARK made a promising enough start over hurdles when third at Wexford nearly 6 weeks ago and looks the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Savante disappointed at Killarney last time but created a favourable impression on her debut at Punchestown and is an interesting hurdling debutante in the context of this race. Jana Colombe ran to only a modest level in a Sligo bumper but could show more now switched to obstacles.

Impressive in a decent Punchestown bumper, SAVANTE bombed out next time but is taken to leave that run behind on hurdling debut
Class & Speed Card

Hour By Hour impressed when scoring comfortably over this trip at Hamilton last month and he must enter calculations. That said, preference is for the consistent MYTHICAL PHOENIX. He has built up enough credit to suggest he is well worth another chance following his latest fifth at Thirsk and, eased 1lb in the weights, he looks the one to be with. Abduction is also noteworthy.

HOUR BY HOUR did it convincingly at Hamilton last week so a 5 lb penalty doesn't look enough to prevent him going in again. The well-treated Mattice is feared most ahead of Rousing Encore and Abduction.

Plenty of possibles but the class-dropping ALMARADA PRINCE could be the answer. Mythical Phoenix is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

Having posted some creditable efforts in defeat in hunter chases earlier in the year, CAT TIGER could be worth chancing back under the tutelage of Paul Nicholls. The veteran has been given some respite from the handicapper and another victory could be on the cards. Opening Bid landed last year's edition of this contest off a 2lb higher mark and a recent fifth at Worcester should have him spot on for a repeat. The nine-year-old is feared most, ahead of Kauto The King.

OPENING BID took this 12 months ago and another bold showing looks on the cards given he can race off a 2 lb lower mark than when a good recent Worcester fifth. Cat Tiger could emerge as the main danger, with fellow veteran Kauto The King also not discounted in his current mood.

Cat Tiger looks interesting back in a handicap but OPENING BID is also on a good mark now, and he is taken to win this race again.
Class & Speed Card

Down Royal winner LONDONOFFICECALLIN could still be a step ahead of the handicapper. Raised 9lb for that recent victory, the gelding, who is having his first start for Gavin Cromwell, scored with a bit in hand. Wayne Hassett takes 5lb off here, which should greatly ease the task. On a tight track that suits a prominent racer, one would expect the seven-year-old to force the pace. Dual all-weather winner Steps In The Sand has yet to win on grass on the Flat but has twice been successful over jumps. Undoubtedly well handicapped in this discipline, the Cian Collins-trained filly has every chance. Scott Lang is also worthy of consideration under a very promising young 10lb claimer.

LONDONOFFICECALLIN starts out with Gavin Cromwell on the back of a ready Down Royal victory and is fancied to make light of a 9 lb hike in the weights. Scott Lang returns to this sphere on an attractive mark so could emerge as the main danger ahead of Tastyee and Pegasus of Harry.

Recent Down Royal winner LONDONOFFICECALLIN can follow up on his first start for Gavin Cromwell
Class & Speed Card

FAR FROM DANDY kept on powerfully to score over the mile at Yarmouth three weeks ago. With the step up in trip and differing ground conditions unlikely to be an issue, George Boughey's colt can defy the penalty en route to further success. Super Mirage comfortably defeated King Kernow (second) here on his debut and can confirm his superiority over that rival. Hi Ya Mal is another who merits consideration.

Several of these are open to improvement now stepping up in trip and the 3 previous winners look the ones to focus on, MARBUSH selected to take another step forward and take her record to 2-4. Second choice is Far From Dandy, who had clearly learnt plenty from his debut when getting off the mark in good style at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago. Course winner Super Mirage can edge out sole filly Tap Dancer for minor honours.

Marbush may prove best of the penalised winners but TAP DANCER is getting lots of weight as a filly.
Class & Speed Card

TA NA LA was placed numerous times both on the Flat and over hurdles before scoring in good style over this trip at Bellewstown. The Ted Walsh-trained mare again advertised her claims when finishing strongly over an inadequate 2m here last month. Rampere West rates a threat having won over 2m4f at Wexford, while Loup De Tallane beat Beechroad Winnie by eight lengths over a similar trip at Kilbeggan last month but exited at the first subsequently over fences at Listowel. Reflectionist easily won twice over 2m3f last year but was then absent for 14 months until soundly beaten at the Galway Festival.

TA NA LA arrives in the form of her life and having shaped well with a return to 2½m in mind when runner-up here last month, Ted Walsh's 5-y-o earns the vote at the expense of Rampere West, who built on earlier promise upped in trip to cause a surprise on handicap debut just less than 6 weeks ago and can kick on again despite a hefty rise. Reflectionist and Loup de Tallane can do battle for third.

A dual Flat winner for Peter Schiergen in Germany, SERIENMOND will need to settle better to get the trip but could be on a nice mark
Class & Speed Card

MAXI BOY bounced right back to form when scoring with the minimum of fuss over this trip at Newcastle last week and, having escaped a penalty for winning an apprentice handicap, he may prove tough to stop. A 5lb rise for fellow last-time-out winner Sparkling Red shouldn't prevent another bold bid, while each-way players may look the way of Yaaser.

MAXI BOY has slipped to a career-low mark and benefited from a well-judged ride as he ended a losing run at Newcastle 9 days ago, going clear inside final 1f. Escaping a penalty for that success, he's given the nod to back that up with Tom Kiely-Marshall again in the plate. Cancan In The Rain has fallen to a handy mark and is feared, as is Thirsk-scorer Sparkling Red, who remains unexposed at this sort of trip.

Sparkling Red is unexposed at 7f and remains of interest but JOHN L SULLIVAN looks better than his mark and can pounce late.
Class & Speed Card

Having found 2m4f stretching her stamina when weakening into fourth at Worcester last month, JO'S RAINBOW makes plenty of appeal returning to 2m. Dan Skelton's filly still looks nicely treated given her ability on the Flat and a first victory over hurdles could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Stage Show, who offered plenty of encouragement when fourth on his handicap bow at Newton Abbot 20 days ago. Market confidence behind stable debutants Penna Rossa or Escobedo should be noted.

Preference is for JO'S RAINBOW, who shaped better than the bare result at Worcester last month and will appreciate the drop back in trip. Bluebella and Far Away West head the list of dangers.

A speculative option to consider is PENNA ROSSA, who has been given a very good chance by the handicapper before this stable debut.
Class & Speed Card

Seventh in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, AUTUMN WINTER should make the most of this drop in grade. Staying on strongly having been short of room at a crucial stage that day, the three-year-old gave the impression he had more to offer. Only 4lb higher than for his recent Listowel win, Granite Bay should have every chance. The Jarlath Fahey-trained gelding is a thorough stayer who will appreciate a strongly run race. Dark Oak, runner-up in that aforementioned Listowel race, should get closer to her conqueror on these revised terms. Gary Carroll may well decide to make the running on the El Kabeir filly.

Aidan O'Brien's AUTUMN WINTER hasn't been seen out since Royal Ascot but looks to have more to offer after his break and is taken to get off the mark at the chief expense of the handily-weighted course winner Messerschmitt. In-form pair Dark Oak and Granite Bay can both have a say too.

AUTUMN WINTER could prove a level above these, having appeared unlucky not to have gone closer in a much better handicap at Ascot
Class & Speed Card

RED CLOUD is the most progressive of these and, having shown distance versatility, dropping back to 1m2f shouldn't be much of an issue given he scored readily over this trip at Chepstow in June. An even easier winner over 1m4f at Lingfield most recently, the selection can cement his authority under topweight here. Fellow last-time-out winner Harlington is feared most, while Make A Scene is also noteworthy with first-time cheekpieces added.

RED CLOUD is steadily on the up and had something to spare when scoring at Lingfield last month, so he's the obvious one to side with ahead of Harlington, the other last-time-out winner in the field. Most of the others have a bit to prove but Bramble Jelly isn't ruled out.

The tongue tie appeared to help RED CLOUD last time and he is taken to follow up that career best with another win back on turf.
Class & Speed Card

Now that the penny has dropped for JUST TEN HIGH after a taking success on handicap debut at Chelmsford last month, Dylan Cunha's charge could go from strength to strength, with a 3lb rise looking a touch lenient. Narrowly denied over 6f here on his penultimate outing, Glory Call is a key player, along with Oriental Spirit, who ran with some credit at Kempton last week.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and Dylan Cunha's lightly-raced JUST TEN HIGH is taken to make light of a 3 lb rise for his breakthrough Chelmsford victory. Oriental Spirit is next on the list on the back of his solid Kempton sixth, with True Blue Gent in the picture too.

There may still be more to come from JUST TEN HIGH following his successful handicap/AW debut at Chelmsford three weeks ago.
Class & Speed Card

PRINCE OF AIR has gained both career wins at Tramore including over C&D this spring and has been generally consistent since. The selection beat all bar Must Be Dreaming here last time, while Itsalonglongroad is another well suited by this tight circuit winning here four times and is certainly at his best going right-handed. Lake Chad has won twice here over fences, but both came over longer trips including an easy victory over 2m6f in August. Rusheen won a 2m4f hurdle on testing ground at Fairyhouse last winter and it will be interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour switching to fences on his reappearance.

Preference is for PRINCE OF AIR, who has a fine record at this course and arrives on the back of a good second in a stronger contest here last month. Tomas O Maille and Itsalonglongroad are feared most.

This trip is shorter than ideal for the in-form LAKE CHAD but he has gone close over 2m a few times and goes well at this venue
Class & Speed Card

A winner over C&D before, SHINE ON BRENDAN looks the one to beat following a comfortable success at Hamilton last month. The seven-year-old can uphold form with the reopposing Gainsbourg (second), while Mr Jetman is another to note having shown up well in recent starts over further. Runner-up over 7f at Musselburgh last time out, Rwenearlytheredad has the potential to improve for going up in trip.

SHINE ON BRENDAN posted his best effort of the year when seeing off re-opposing Gainsbourg by 2½ lengths on his latest outing at Hamilton 10 days ago and a repeat under a penalty should see Jim Goldie's 7-y-o firmly in the mix once more. Rwenearlytheredad and Mr Jetman are the chief threats.

The way SHINE ON BRENDAN put Gainsbourg in his place last time suggests that he can do the same again on 4lb worse terms.
Class & Speed Card

This can go the way of DUBAI MAGIC, who is expected to build on a career-best effort when denied by the narrowest of margins over this distance at Wolverhampton last month. Half a length behind her on that occasion was Love Rock (third), who is likely to make this a test from the front. Virtue Temperance, a comfortable winner at Brighton on her latest start, is another to bear in mind.

DUBAI MAGIC came within a nose of making a successful nursery debut at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and from the inside stall, she looks the answer from the same mark. Love Rock was just behind the selection that day and she should be involved again, with Virtue Temperance also one to view positively.

Top of the list is DUBAI MAGIC, who was beaten a nose on her nursery debut at Wolverhampton and is 2lb well in here.
Class & Speed Card

HARRYS HOPE made an impressive chasing debut when scoring by seven lengths at Southwell last week and is very hard to ignore turned out quickly under a 7lb penalty. Topweight Sherborne has more experience in this discipline and is the chief threat to the selection. Previous course winner Begin The Luck is also forwarded as a key player in this company. Goaheadwiththeplan also needs considering.

HARRYS HOPE took superbly well to chasing when running out an emphatic winner at Southwell a week ago and, if the race doesn't come too soon, she's firmly expected to defy a penalty. Fakir is a danger on his second outing for a shrewd yard and Sherborne should be involved if fit enough to do himself justice on reappearance.

The most obvious answer is HARRY'S HOPE (nap), who created a good impression when winning readily by 7l on last week's chasing debut.
Class & Speed Card

Navan runner-up DOUBLE AGENT should appreciate stepping up to two miles. Having made the running last time, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt looked like folding when being headed two furlongs out. However, the manner in which he rallied to stay on again inside the final furlong suggests he requires a real stamina test. Graded class hurdler Jetara would be a serious contender if fit enough on her return from a summer break. Last seen when finishing runner-up in a Grade 1 hurdle at the Punchestown festival, the Jessica Harrington-trained six-year-old is an intriguing runner. Soul Of Spain, who finished fourth behind Double Agent last time, shouldn't be discounted despite his rather frustrating profile.

JETARA has shown herself to be an above-average, likeable mare over hurdles and, if she can replicate that sort of form on her first Flat outing, she could have enough to get the better of the likes of Double Agent and Soul of Spain.

DOUBLE AGENT (nap) is the one to beat after a narrow loss last time and there's surely more to come from this full brother to Free Wind
Class & Speed Card

MANDANA took well to the all-weather when second on her most recent start at Chelmsford and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. A disappointment when favourite over 1m at Haydock last time out, Shining River is better judged on her penultimate effort when narrowly behind the selection at Haydock in August. Hock Eye The Noo and Miss Hathaway are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

MANDANA possesses the best form on offer so is taken to go one better than her good Chelmsford City second last time out and get off the mark. Miss Hathaway also has the form to play a part and is rated next best ahead of newcomer Velvet Whisper and Kempton debut seventh Bear Facts.

There should be little between MANDANA and Shining River on their meeting in August, with the former taken to confrm the placings.
Class & Speed Card

SAVANNAH SMILES is taken to supplement the Chepstow success gained on her penultimate start. The selection wasn't beaten far under a penalty on the Polytrack at Lingfield most recently and, back on turf, she can be a force in this company. Drying conditions would be a positive for Lahina Bay, while Moe's Legacy is consistent and also warrants serious thought in an open event.

To say MOE'S LEGACY has been knocking on the door of late would be an understatement, beaten less than a length by one rival on her last 3 outings and it's easy enough to envisage her making all this time. Miss Bella Brand eases in class so is feared most.

Lahina Bay is better than she showed last time but MISS BELLA BRAND usually tackles stronger opposition and can defy top weight.
Class & Speed Card

BIGIRA had Doyen For A Drink (won last time at Cartmel) over five lengths behind when taking a 3m handicap hurdle at Wexford this summer and has shown promise when switched to fences on her latest two starts. She also has the benefit of course experience having been fourth to The Friday Man over 2m7f last month. Jouster and Tuckmill have both won handicap hurdles off a mark of 94 this year and the latter was only caught close home last time on his chase debut at Downpatrick. Ballybrack Wood was second on his only point-to-point start and has also shown some promise over hurdles.

TUCKMILL is an improved performer in recent months and can build on his Downpatrick chase debut second and go one better now. Bigira has taken well to fences the last twice and is second choice ahead of Henry de Bromhead chase newcomer Ballybrack Wood.

Not many readily ruled out; MICHAL had a good first run over fences here in May and can put that experience to good use
Class & Speed Card

DANDY'S ANGEL looked well at ease when scoring over 1m4f at Hamilton on her penultimate start and going up to this trip shouldn't inconvenience her as she looks to land the four-timer. A winner over further here last week and turned out quickly under a 4lb penalty, Ebony Maw must enter calculations, along with Val Bassett, who wasn't devoid of promise at Hamilton latest.

Likeable mare DANDY'S ANGEL has struck up a productive partnership with her talented young jockey and, having won with more in hand than the result at Redcar 5 days ago, she's worth a chance to land the four-timer, a major feat for a 7-y-o. Jaminoz, who was second to the selection 10 days ago at Hamilton, is much better off at the weights and is regarded as the main danger ahead of Ebony Maw.

Given the way DANDY'S ANGEL won again last time, she may be capable of defying an additional 8lb over this new trip.
Class & Speed Card

LEBLON GIRL improved from her first to second start when not beaten far into second at Ripon last time out and, with further progress expected, the daughter of Kodiac can strike from a plum draw. Only worn down late in the piece when runner-up over C&D in August, Heaven Knows is likely to be thereabouts again, as well as One For Harvey, who could be suited by going back up to 6f.

Probably not a strong maiden and HEAVEN KNOWS has a good shout having gone close here 6 weeks ago. Leblon Girl and One For Harvey are dangers before any market clues for the newcomers.

This should revolve around the two leading form contenders in Leblon Girl and HEAVEN KNOWS, with preference for the latter.
Class & Speed Card

IN THE AIR was in command a long way from home when he made a successful debut for Nicky Henderson at Southwell last week and, given he is 4lb well in here, he could make light of the 7lb penalty. War Lord is versatile and, having dropped to a highly-competitive mark in comparison to past exploits, he cannot be ruled out in this company. Gustoso and Clearance are others with each-way appeal.

IN THE AIR made a mockery of his much-reduced mark on first start for Nicky Henderson at Southwell last week and will surely take a fair bit of stopping if turning up in similar form under a penalty. War Lord and Asian Spice are fancied to fill the places.

It's hard to get away from IN THE AIR, who looked rejuvenated when winning easily off a much-reduced mark for his new stable last week.

A dual winner earlier in the campaign, EMPRESS ALMA can record a third career success. Although unable to complete the hat-trick, the Gavin Cromwell-trained filly was far from disgraced when staying on to finish fifth in a competitive handicap at the Galway festival. Given a break since then, the Holy Roman Emperor three-year-old can resume her progress. Topweight Sir Allen can confirm Listowel form with the quartet that finished in behind. A smart juvenile hurdler last season, the Andrew Slattery-trained gelding remains nicely treated back on the Flat. Recent Perth handicap hurdle winner Building Bridges is another that has the potential to exploit his mark on the level.

The vote goes to EMPRESS ALMA, who did well under the circumstances when fifth at Galway last time and this filly promises to be suited by stepping back up in trip. Plains Indian was third behind stablemate Sir Allen and Tudor Manor at Listowel recently but this stiffer test will be in his favour and he could be the pick of the trio this time. Tudor Manor is also taken to get the better of Sir Allen here and he is third choice, while Black Soul also enters calculations.

The choice is CHARLIE DARLING, who relishes this trip and was a bit unlucky not to get up at Downpatrick last time

Hampered inside the final furlong when a promising third at Lingfield on debut, RHYME DUST is likely to come on plenty for that experience and she looks capable of breaking the maiden with Tom Marquand taking over in the saddle. Cosi Bear didn't show much first time out at Leicester but better can be expected here, while the same could be said of Stylish Affair, who got going late in the piece when seventh at Yarmouth.

Tom Ward's filly RHYME DUST shaped well on her debut when third at Lingfield and with a fair bit of improvement on the cards she looks the way to go here. Yarmouth debut seventh Stylish Affair also has better days ahead of her and is next on the list with debutantes Pink Azalea and Eva Dickson also worthy of respect, especially if the market vibes are positive.

This looks a good opportunity for RHYME DUST who sets a fair standard on her close third on last month's Lingfield debut.

AMBOYNA appears to have found a good opportunity to open her account. The daughter of Mount Nelson has been placed on the latest three of her four bumper starts and handled soft ground at Listowel last time when third behind fancied newcomer Amen Kate. San Franco looks the chief threat with Jody Townend a significant booking. He was set to finish second behind the useful Zariygann when a last flight faller at Roscommon and has also shown promise in bumpers including when third at Ballinrobe. The remainder with form make limited appeal and any market move for newcomer Kared'as De Cougny would be interesting.

This looks a weak bumper and could be a good chance for AMBOYNA to get off the mark. San Franco is the obvious threat unless the betting speaks in the favour of one or more of the newcomers.

Though his best run came when falling over hurdles at Roscommon, SAN FRANCO looks to have enough ability to win.

A revelation on his first start for the Jack Jones stable when scoring comfortably over shorter at Wolverhampton last time out, GIFTED ANGEL is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and he can follow up. A progressive sort throughout this season, Wannabe Brave will need a strong gallop to be seen at his best over this shorter distance, while Beggarman is another consistent sort to note.

Having joined an up-and-coming yard, GIFTED ANGEL overcame a very slow start when successful at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and further success looks on the cards. Wannabe Brave boasts a good strike rate for this level so is second choice, with Beggarman likely to give it another good go.

Preference is for GIFTED ANGEL (nap), who surged clear on his stable debut at Wolverhampton and is 3lb well in under a penalty.

Alfa Whiteburd and Eldeyaar, along with the much-improved Lion Ring, are strong contenders despite creeping up in the ratings for their most recent successes. Whereas, Oso Rapido enters calculations from 16lb below his last win. However, it is BELLAGIO MAN who captures the imagination most. A C&D winner off 15lb higher in February 2023, the selection is hard to ignore in a wide-open race.

A competitive handicap but it's hard to side against INDIVAR who still looks ahead of his mark under a 6 lb penalty for his impressive recent Newcastle success. Kempton scorer Liosa heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Eldeyaar, My Awele and Alfa Whiteburd.

Six last-time-out winners and it could be that INDIVAR is the best handicapped. My Awele and Bibendum look best of the rest.
Class & Speed Card

BEBSIDE (second) couldn't get past Moonlit Stage when the pair met in this grade at Newcastle last week, but he is 8lb better off this time around. The son of Iffraaj has lots in his favour to reverse that form and might be able to record his first career success. Vilaine Verlaine showed a lot more on her nursery debut when second at Yarmouth and is another to consider.

BEBSIDE and Moonlit Stage dominated the first 10f nursery of the season at Newcastle a week ago and they are the pair to focus on again. An 8 lb pull in the weights strongly suggests the former will take his revenge this time.

Moonlit Stage beat BEBSIDE at Newcastle last week but the latter is 2lb lower here and may be able to turn the tables.
Class & Speed Card

Just a head separated TRIDENT (second) and Jodhpur Blue (third) at Newcastle last month. The former wasn't done any favours by the draw on that occasion and, open to more progression on just his second start, he can cement his authority. The rest with experience appear a modest bunch and with that in mind, Kisdon Force, a 60,000gns purchase as a yearling, strikes as the most compelling of the newcomers.

It's hard to look beyond TRIDENT, who was a promising second on his introduction at Newcastle and that experience will not be wasted on him. Jodhpur Blue was a decent third at the same course last month and is the clear pick for forecast purposes ahead of Wide Margin.

This is between old rivals TRIDENT and Jodhpur Blue. A head separated them at Newcastle last month, but the form can be confirmed.
Class & Speed Card

EARL OF ROCHESTER shaped with bundles of promise when only finding two subsequent winners too good on his debut in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket in April. The son of Dubawi might not need to find much improvement in order to strike. Buon Viaggio hasn't been disgraced on both starts so far and is respected, while Vinny's Dream is another to watch out for.

EARL OF ROCHESTER shaped with a good deal of encouragement in a well-contested maiden at Newmarket earlier in the campaign and, while the absence since is something of a concern, he's still the one to beat, with Buon Viaggio regarded as the main threat. Watts to Freedom, a well-bred stablemate of the selection, is another one to note.

The Gosdens looks to hold the key, with EARL OF ROCHESTER setting a good standard for newcomer Watts To Freedom to aim at.
Class & Speed Card

The recent Newcastle winner Mon Etoile is a player, but it's also worth remembering that it took her 16 attempts to get off the mark. Therefore, dual C&D winner THE PUG is preferred from 4lb below the most recent of those successes. Having hinted at a revival of late, the selection has less to prove than most. Kalikapour and lightly-weighted three-year-old Lady Of Time complete the shortlist.

MON ETOILE deservedly opened her account at Newcastle last month and she looks more than capable of defying this 4 lb higher mark. Next on the list is Kalikapour, who has returned to form with solid placed efforts at Thirsk and Pontefract the last twice, and he should have a part to play. Oscar Doodle and The Pug are others with claims.

Mon Etoile holds good claims but preference is for THE PUG (nap) whose record over C&D reads 112.

All Agleam filled the runner-up spot over C&D last month and it would be no surprise to see her have a say off an unchanged mark. However, the vote goes to LOCAL MUSIC, who finished second in this grade over a mile here in July and makes plenty of appeal back over 7f. Matt Crawley's four-year-old should go well off only 2lb higher, while Smoky Mountain rates best of the rest.

Given how easy ULTRAMARINE cruised to the front, then readily asserted at Wolverhampton 13 days ago, he's worth a chance to defy a rise at the possible expense of the bang-in-form All Agleam, who may not have reached her limit yet. Local Music also deserves respect.

Not beaten far in the last two runnings of this race, three-time C&D winner G'DAAY gets the nod. All Agleam is second choice.

LETMEBETHEBOSS appeared to relish the step up in trip when fairly bolting up over 1m5f at Bath last week and, having escaped a penalty for winning an apprentice handicap, he looks the one to side with. Blenheim Lad did it well when scoring over C&D last month and he must enter calculations off 3lb higher, while better can be expected from Mimasusa now she sports blinkers for the first time.

LETMEBETHEBOSS raised his game when getting off the mark at Bath last week and, with no penalty to carry, he is confidently expected to strike again. Next on the list is Catrake Force, who performed with credit when finishing in the money at Musselburgh recently. A 3 lb rise for Blenheim Lad's C&D success a fortnight ago doesn't look excessive and he is third choice.

An interesting race in which recent C&D winner BLENHEIM LAD gets the vote ahead of last week's Bath winner Letmebetheboss.

SILVER NIGHTFALL has shown improved form since sporting a visor (retained) the last twice, finishing runner-up on both occasions, and this appeals as an ideal winning opportunity. She would have finished closer to the eventual winner if granted a clear run over 1m2f here last month. This drop in trip can see Wadacre Tivoli emerge as the main danger, while Dream Seeker remains unexposed in handicaps and merits consideration.

SILVER NIGHTFALL is on a good mark and has been shaping like she's ready to capitalise, notably when a strong-finishing second after meeting trouble over 10f here three weeks ago. She's preferred to Unreal Connection and Wadacre Tivoli, who should give their running.

Preference is for WADACRE TIVOLI, who should be suited by the drop in trip on her AW debut. Silver Nightfall rates the main danger.
Class & Speed Card

GALACTIC CHARM caught the eye when staying on strongly to finish third over this trip at Yarmouth last month and that form has since been franked by the runner-up. Off an unchanged mark, he gets the vote to return to winning ways. The class-dropping Cool Party was in winning form over C&D on his penultimate start and is the main danger. Knights Affair wasn't disgraced in a competitive handicap at Musselburgh latest and needs to be taken seriously too.

COOL PARTY was successful back from a break over C&D in April and, having shaped well when fourth back from an absence when fourth at Ayr recently, he is the most appealing option. Glactic Charm arrives on the back of a solid third at Yarmouth and is feared along with Across Earth, who can bounce back returned to calmer waters.

The vote goes to COOL PARTY who made all over C&D in April. He may again prove hard to catch if left alone in front.

Though his winless run continues, CAPALLCLISTE has been shaping as if this return to further would be right up his street having finished runner-up over 7f on each of his last three starts. Oh So Audacious has been running consistently well this season and she must enter calculations off 3lb higher than her last winning mark, while Cobh Harbour is also noteworthy.

COBH HARBOUR has slipped to an appealing mark and was back to form at Wolverhampton last time, finishing well. If he can build on that he might have enough to see off the in-form mare Oh So Audacious, who is unlikely to be far away. Starshot is also considered.

The vote goes to triple Polytrack winner ADACE who is on a workable mark back on AW and could make a big impact if she gets the breaks.
Class & Speed Card

Paddy's Day was narrowly denied over 5f at Beverley last month and a 1lb rise for that shouldn't prevent another bold bid. That said, JUNGLE RUN is narrowly preferred. Tom Clover's charge completed a hat-trick in fine style over C&D recently and gets the nod to defy a 7lb rise. Maris Angel was thwarted in her bid for a three-timer at Redcar latest, but cannot be overlooked.

It can pay to side with PADDY'S DAY, who went close at Beverley last month and a 1 lb nudge for that is fair enough. Jungle Run completed the hat-trick in pretty good style over C&D a fortnight ago and he is feared most ahead of Sugar Hill Babe and Miss Brazen.

A competitive sprint but PADDY'S DAY has been threatening all season and this could be his day. Match Play is next best.
Ths is the racecard key.
