Bollin Neil

2.25
9/4(+18%)
(6) Bollin Neil 9/4, Ran to form when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 52 over 2m here last time, eased slightly late on. Trained by a top course handler; suited by staying trips in both codes, enjoys cut and goes well at Catterick; still on a fair mark.
Course specialist; resurgent 9yo who's back up another 4lb but will surely go well again.

3/1(+33%)
(3) Trapper John 3/1, Ran to handicap form when beaten 5l in a 12f handicap at Pontefract last time. The trainer is in form; effective over 12f and acts on a sound surface, though his mark looks a bit high.
Five races and started to finish a bit closer; off 193 days but this longer trip may suit.

(4) Arctic Fox 6/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 5l, in a handicap at Haydock last time. Suited by 14f and acts on any turf going; generally holding her form well.

(5) Wasthatok 8/1, Returned to form when beaten 2 1/4l off 59 over 2m at Southwell last time. Stays 2m and acts on a sound surface; a 2m Irish hurdles winner who remains a maiden on the Flat but is fairly treated.
Southwell 2nd (2m, AW) last time; well treated on that; trainer won this in 2019 and 2021.

(2) Kokinelli 18/5, Benefited from the step up in trip when winning a handicap by 2 1/4l off 60 at Southwell last time. Effective over 12f, suited by 14f and acts on a sound surface; looks well treated at present.
Upped to 1m6f (AW) 15 days ago when off the mark at 14th attempt; may have more to offer.

Tim Easterby has a runner at both ends of the handicap with Kitsune Power and BOLLIN NEIL, so the market should be informative. The former is an infrequent winner but competes from a handy mark as a result. However, Bollin Neil is something of a course specialist (under both codes) and his proven effectiveness over these undulations earn him the vote, especially given that Jake Dickson's 8lb claim should be advantageous. Recent Southwell winner Kokinelli is unexposed over the trip and must be taken seriously back on turf.

Course specialist BOLLIN NEIL looks the most solid option, with Trapper John and Wasthatok next on the list.

Despite finishing last of five in a maiden at Newmarket a fortnight ago, SIERRA SANDS wasn't beaten that far and was perhaps unsuited by the steady pace. Better judged on his promising debut second at Leicester, the Ed Dunlop-trained colt can be given another chance. Given that others with previous experience all need to find significant improvement, it would come as no surprise were newcomers Uncle Nader, Galileo Blue and Wagyu Star all heavily involved.

This could be a good opportunity for SIERRA SANDS, who went close on the first of his two starts. Mystical Eye is feared.

(9) Secret Sonata 2/1, Dropped away disappointingly when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Leicester last time; trainer in form and effective at 6/7f; likely has found her level but latest effort is a concern.

Keeping to novice company could be beneficial for PROUD TO BE FOX, who sets the standard according to the official ratings. Admittedly, the bar isn't set remarkably high but there have been promising signs in his four runs so far and he can put that experience to good use. Secret Sonata is an obvious threat, especially now back at six furlongs. Pension Pot and Benjamin Brodie complete the shortlist.

The percentage call in quite a trappy novice is Andrew Balding's SECRET SONATA.

An unexposed sort who has improved with each start, AAJEJ looks the one to be with on his handicap debut. He produced a strong runner-up effort at Southwell latest, and an opening mark of 79 could prove lenient. Beaten a head into third at Hamilton most recently, Mafting is entitled to be thereabouts again, along with Thosewerethedays, who holds strong claims judged on last month's Carlisle triumph.

This may be decided by improvement from the lightly raced 3yos THOSEWERETHEDAYS and Aajej. Third on the list is Made All.

(6) Wreck It Ryley 22/1, Back to form in blinkers when landing a handicap by 2l off 68 over 6f at Leicester last time. Effective at 6f and acts on any ground; his new mark looks about right.
Well backed when winning at Leicester 11 days ago but he's up 6lb and none too consistent.

MUDAMER won comfortably over C&D last time out, and a return to better ground should not inconvenience him too much. He can to follow up off a 5lb higher mark, which may come at the main expense of recent Leicester scorer Wreck It Ryley. Quest For Fun has filled the runner-up spot on two of his last four starts since forcing a dead-heat for top honours at York in July.

Fifth, sixth and seventh at York, HAVANA PRINCE, Quest For Fun and Highfield Viking are the likeliest contenders in that order.

AHAMOMENT continues to go from strength to strength, and a further 8lb rise for his most recent success at Ayr may not prevent him from landing the hat-trick. The six-year-old gets the vote ahead of the capable Woodstock, while Tactical Plan, who sports first-time blinkers, is 1lb below his last winning mark. Catalyse and Sir Garfield may also have a say in proceedings.

Topweight WOODSTOCK (nap) looks ready to strike for the first time this season and is preferred to U Sure Do.

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

Having shared the spoils in six of the last 10 runnings, Aidan O'Brien and the Gosden stable look likely to dominate once more. St Leger third Stay True is an intriguing representative for the Irish maestro and he makes plenty of appeal in receipt of a 7lb weight-for-age allowance. However, the son of Galileo isn't certain to stay on his first attempt over 2m and 2023 British Champions Long Distance Cup winner TRAWLERMAN rates as the most solid proposition. The seven-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic season, making all in the Gold Cup here in June the highlight, and he can further cement himself at the top of the staying division. Stablemate Sweet William has hit the frame in the last two renewals and is the pick of the remainder.

If TRAWLERMAN runs to the sort of level of his last three starts, he will surely win again. Sweet William may outstay Stay True.

ELECTRIC EDDY hasn't been in action since finishing a close-up third at Newton Abbot last September, but the son of Mount Nelson has run with credit when fresh previously and is taken to strike in what looks a winnable contest. Gerard Mentor reverts to hurdles with each-way claims, whereas Sain Et Sauf makes her second start for new connections and could improve for recent wind surgery.

In an uncompetitive race it may pay to take a chance with ELECTRIC EDDY who was in good heart when last seen in the autumn of 2024.

Having filled the runner-up spot on each of his last three outings, Lexington Blitz has less to prove than most and cannot be dismissed. However, a rise in class isn't sure to help the three-year-old and VENTURE CAPITAL makes greater appeal. Kevin Ryan's charge arrives on the back of a good third at Ascot and this looks slightly easier. Vintage Clarets has won the last two renewals of this contest so is certain to have his supporters again.

Vintage Clarets isn't opposed lightly as he bids for three in a row in this race but narrow preference is for I'M NEXT.

Unbeaten in three starts since being gelded, WORDS OF TRUTH is straightforward and progressive. The son of Lope De Vega broke his maiden with a dominant effort over course and distance in July, before coasting home under a penalty in novices' event a Newmarket the following month. However, his power-packed finish when landing the Mill Reef at Newbury earmarked him as a horse of enormous potential for the future races open to him. He is hard to oppose here. Division is equally on an upwards trajectory, with last week's success in the Rockingham at York noted as the ready the pick of his three career wins so far. A likely pace angle, Sir Albert shouldn't be underestimated back over 6f, while the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy winner, Ardisia, remains on the upgrade and cannot be ruled out.

In bringing potential, SIREN SUIT has a better chance than ratings suggest. Progressive Division is second pick.

TOUCH THE MOON, rated 90 on the Flat in Britain, had Royal Approval well behind when he was touched off by a useful type on hurdling debut at Navan. He travelled strongly on that occasion and can go one better for a yard that has made a bright start to the season. Talk The Talk was second in a valuable bumper at Newbury in March and has since moved to Joseph O'Brien. Splendid Fellow showed ability in a point-to-point and has since joined a powerful yard, while Starting Fifteen, who sports a first-time hood for his debut over flights, has some strong bumper form in the book. The 112-rated Louiescall probably has place claims at best.

With improvement forthcoming from his narrow hurdles debut defeat at Navan, TOUCH THE MOON (nap) can go one better today

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

Now in the hands of trainer Paul Nicholls having filled the runner-up spot on two of his three starts over hurdles last season, ABSOLUTELY DOYEN sets the standard and he can get off the mark. A promising second over 2m3f at Warwick when last seen in April 2024, Night Stalker is another that could improve, while Vesalius cannot be ruled out either.

Paul Nicholls could barely have found a weaker race for new recruit ABSOLUTELY DOYEN who showed a good bit of ability for Fergal O'Brien

Four more 5f wins this year but recent efforts not so good.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

SPRING BLOOM has moved yards since unseating at Newmarket in August, and he looks just the type to have been freshened up by a change of scenery. Now under the tutelage of Darryll Holland, the veteran is 3lb below his last winning mark and could be worth chancing. Lipsink escapes a penalty for his recent triumph in an apprentice event at Kempton so is an obvious danger, while Alligator Alley appeals most of the remainder.

The suggestion is BEAUTY CHOICE, who ran well in this last year, arrives in form and his stable has been among the winners this week.

The sprint division has produced a whole host of different results this season and with a maximum field going to post, it points to another open affair, where it may pay to side with the talented MONTASSIB. William Haggas' charge caught the eye on his return to action at Newbury last month when staying on strongly for third over 5f. Going back up in trip should suit, having landed the Sprint Cup at Haydock last year, before subsequently a fast-finishing fifth 12 months ago. Big Mojo had the likes of Kind Of Blue (second) and Flora Of Bermuda (third) behind in this year's renewal of the Sprint Cup, and it may be that the aforementioned pair overturn that form in a race where they finished first and third in last year. Returning to the scene of his career-best success in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee looks like a major plus for Lazzat. He completes the shortlist with 2023 winner Art Power.

French challengers Lazzat and Rayevka are respected but this can again go to the 2024 hero KIND OF BLUE.

A respectable fourth in a Group 3 race at the Curragh last month, AMELIA EARHART can score now dropped in class. Sent off favourite when a promising third at this track on debut, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly finished runner-up on her next two starts. Far from disgraced when pitched into Pattern company last time, the daughter of Camelot should appreciate stepping up in trip now. A half-sister to four black type horses, the well-bred Johnny Murtagh-trained Chasing Paradise has to be respected on her introduction. Her stable can often have one ready at the first time of asking. Musical Chimes and Camelot Queen also command respect on their respective debuts.

AMELIA EARHART, rated 94, has been expensive to follow but she possesses the best form on offer and is hard to oppose

Hot To Go changed hands for 165,000 pounds after showing promise when second on his sole point-to-point outing and warrants a market check on his debut under Rules. Havefunontherun got off the mark at Worcester in May and is of interest, but CALVINO gets the vote. Paul Nicholls' charge struck in one out of his three bumper starts and the son of Walk In The Park could prove a different proposition over timber.

The most interesting runner is arguably HOT TO GO, who changed hands for a six-figure sum after his very promising Irish point debut.

BRIDGE VIEW STAR is a half-brother to progressive staying handicapper Rising Dust and is likely to appreciate stepping up to this trip. He was never in contention in a similar contest at Galway but stayed on close home, before running with credit in a bumper at Listowel, a race which is working out well. He looks a major player in what is a weak contest. We Be Grand has run well in two bumpers and stuck to his task when not beaten far at Listowel recently. He should also be suited by this longer distance but does lack the experience of some of his rivals. A couple of winners have come out of the Ballinrobe maiden in which Run For The Border finished seventh and she has place claims.

WE BE GRAND showed more ability than any of his rivals when fifth in a Listowel bumper. A repeat of that should win this.

A promising second on his first start over fences at Newton Abbot last month, JUGGERNAUT may well have gone closer but for a mistake two out. Natural improvement is expected, and he can go one place better. Salley Gardens hasn't shown much since joining new connections, but he is a three-time winner in this sphere so must be noted, along with veteran Mix Of Clover, who is now 3lb below his last winning mark.

Preference is for dual hurdle winner JUGGERNAUT who made a solid start over fences when runner-up behind an improver at Newton Abbot.

A staying on second on his debut at the Curragh recently, ZIA ZABEL can go one place better. Prominent throughout, the Natalia Lupini-trained colt found plenty for pressure inside the final furlong, sticking to his task in admirable fashion. Racing over an additional furlong should really suit the son of Ghaiyyath here, while the benefit of that previous experience is certain to stand to him in good stead. Star Chamber improved on his initial outing to finish fourth at the Curragh in August. Keeping on late, the gelding gave the impression that he was still learning and could have more to offer. Il Corsaro could prove best of the Aidan O'Brien-trained trio.

The vote goes to ZIA ZABEL (nap), who shaped really well on his recent Curragh debut against a potentially smart sort

Last year's hero Kalpana bids to regain her crown after an in-and-out season. Andrew Balding's filly was turned over by Giavellotto in the September Stakes prior to finishing two places in front of Quisisana when only seventh in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Estrange has only found Minnie Hauk too good in three starts this year and connections were left disappointed after she scoped dirty before a tilt at the Arc, but she possesses plenty of ability and needs to be taken seriously. However, WAARDAH beat Danielle by just under a length in the Lillie Langtry at Goodwood in August, proving there are no doubts about her stamina. Owen Burrows' filly has been brought along steadily and could have plenty more in the locker on just her sixth career appearance.

Kalpana (second choice) and Estrange are clearly major dangers but preference is for the up-and-coming 3yo WAARDAH.

Esperti went in by over a length in heavy conditions at Ffos Las in February and if ready to go on his return, he has to be considered. However, OF CORSE I CAN returned to winning ways over this trip at Fontwell earlier in the month and is just 2lb higher. Provided the eight-year-old remains in similar form, he could be the one to beat. Testflight's only victory under Rules came over C&D, so he is another to note.

Preference is for LOCK OUT, who won off a similar mark when fresh last autumn and can hopefully dominate from the front.

FEET OF A DANCER was third to the classy Jetara in last year's renewal and doesn't face a rival of that calibre this time around. Paul Nolan's mare ran with credit in four subsequent starts last season, including when fourth in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham, and she is weighted to go close on these terms. Nolan is also represented by Farfromnowhere and it is noteworthy that the selection's usual rider, Sean O'Keeffe, has elected to partner this dual course winner. World Of Fortunes returned to form at Ballinrobe latest and the dual Listed scorer was impressive when winning at this meeting 12 months ago. Thisistheway was progressive last season and reverts to hurdles following a recent spin on the Flat.

Though FARFROMNOWHERE is conceding 4lb to her higher-rated stablemate Feet Of A Dancer, she has racefitness on her side.

Kitty Foyle was last seen falling in this sphere in a Listed contest at Cheltenham in April. Back from a spell on the Flat in a first-time tongue-tie, she is of interest in these calmer waters. However, SEEYOUINMYDREAMS wasn't beaten far into second in a stronger event at Newton Abbot two starts ago and is 2lb lower. With Jay Tidball claiming a handy 5lb, she looks the way to go. Quick Of The Night looks best of the rest.

Preference is for SEEYOUINMYDREAMS, who is 4-8 over hurdles and ran well from the front on her chase debut at Worcester last month.

Rated 94 after maiden win on latest, needs more up in class but that's possible.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Curragh maiden winner THREAD OF GOLD can back up that success. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding had been expected to improve for his initial outing but overcame trouble in running to score with something in hand. Entitled to be all the better for that experience, the son of Ghaiyyath should go close in what looks a competitive affair. Stepping up an additional two-furlongs is also likely to suit. Galway winner Piazza San Marco has to be respected on his third start. Showing vast improvement from his debut effort, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt should take another step forward. A Boy Named Susie has disappointed of late but looked very smart when making a winning introduction at Killarney.

PIAZZA SAN MARCO, an impressive all the way winner on soft at Galway last time, is narrowly preferred over Christmas Day

This prestigious prize has gone back to France in two of the last five years. Facteur Cheval is their sole representative this term, but he was second in the corresponding event 12 months ago and wouldn't be out of this should any rain arrive. However, the antepost market suggests the trophy will stay on home soil this year, which could be courtesy of FIELD OF GOLD. Second in the 2000 Guineas before landing the Irish equivalent and the St James's Palace, the Kingman colt appeared to have a valid excuse when reportedly lame after disappointing in the Sussex at Goodwood. Freshened up since, this should be much more to his liking and, if taking official ratings at face value, the Gosdens can land this for the first time since Roaring Lion in 2018. Fallen Angel completed a hat-trick of Group 1 successes in the Sun Chariot a fortnight ago and must be given the utmost respect along with Docklands, who has yet to finish outside of the top three in seven visits here. Rosallion is undoubtedly from the upper echelons but has been a little frustrating this season, so the rapidly-improving City Of York hero Never So Brave could be a bigger threat.

Superstar 3yo FIELD OF GOLD is taken to make a winning comeback from his Sussex Stakes defeat, after which he was found to be lame.

BALLYKINLAR rattled off a hat-trick over the summer and acquitted himself well in novice company when third at Listowel recently, a race which has been well advertised since. The selection's regular rider can't claim his allowance this time around but he still meets Carrigg Island, who was a length-and-a-half behind him at Listowel, on 1lb better terms. The latter is gradually learning to settle and ought to remain competitive, while stablemate Shadow Paddy was one of six winners for Eoin McCarthy at the Listowel Harvest Festival and might have more to offer.

BALLYKINLAR was 1.5l in front of Carrigg Island when third at Listowel last time and can confirm that form.

After undergoing a wind operation, American Land hasn't looked back, securing a hat-trick in the space of two months. His chance is there for all to see, but the vote goes to COURAGEOUS STRIKE. The son of National Defense justified cramped odds to complete a double at this track in May and now makes his first start in a handicap in this sphere. With the potential for lots more to come, he looks the way to go. Bluegrass isn't ruled out either.

Low-mileage 5yo DANCE AND GLANCE didn't really have the race run to suit when fifth in a major handicap in May and still has potential.

BASILETTE got up for second in the closing stages over an extended 2m at this venue last month, which suggests today's step up in distance is a positive move. Seamus Mullins' charge competes from just 1lb higher and could prove hard to beat. Even though Northern Rose was unable to justify favouritism when third at Hereford on Monday, she was far from disgraced and should remain competitive. Sassified completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to BASILETTE (nap), who caught the eye with her strong-finishing second over 2m here last month.

With an official rating of 98, MINERVA should take plenty of beating in this grade. Third in a Group 3 at the Curragh last month, the Aidan O'Brien-trained daughter of Frankel reverts to maiden company on her seventh career start. Twice a runner-up earlier in the season, the form of those two particular races have worked out exceptionally well in the interim. It will be disappointing if the filly fails to take advantage of this opportunity. A half-sister to a black type horse, the Johnny Murtagh-trained debutant Divine Legand has to be a contender on her racecourse debut. Take A Bow, a stablemate of the selection, also merits attention in first-time blinkers.

Although still a maiden after six attempts MINERVA sets a high standard and is hard to oppose

Race conditions ought to suit QUINT MAJOR, who is capable of landing a handicap of this standard. Mark Molloy's seven-year-old has fair form in the book under both codes, and he ran with credit in a maiden hurdle here last Christmas. His third at Clonmel in April was promising and he may have needed the run when disappointing at Navan last month. Weston probably wants softer ground but is well treated in this sphere relative to his Flat mark. His third to a well-handicapped winner on his latest hurdles start at Fairyhouse was a good effort. Farrokh is consistent but needs to improve for the addition of first-time blinkers, while Arthur's Victory ran well despite being hampered by a faller at Punchestown on Tuesday.

MATT CONNOR finished well after a troubled passage on his handicap debut off this mark at Gowran so he gets a tentative vote

Ombudsman got revenge on Delacroix after his Coral-Eclipse defeat to turn the tables in an oddly-run Juddmonte International. The Gosdens' four-year-old benefitted from a fierce pace set that day and similar is expected with stablemate Devil's Advocate in the line-up. Aidan O'Brien described the York showpiece as a non-event and after Delacroix's victory in the Irish Champion next time, he may be proved correct, which would make it 2-1 in favour of Ballydoyle. Last year's runner-up Calandagan is bound to attract plenty of support, but a chance can be taken on FIRST LOOK. Andre Fabre's son of Lope De Vega is unbeaten since being gelded, most recently beating Bay City Roller in the Prix Dollar at Longchamp. There is a suspicion the four-year-old is the type his maestro handler does incredibly well with and he may just be peaking at the perfect time.

At the prices, ALMERIC and Fox Legacy are interesting alternatives to the leading form players who are headed by Ombudsman.

A few to consider including the likes of Elusiveness, who goes in search of a four-timer following a 182-day absence, and Busy Being Busy. The latter failed to achieve that same goal when returned to action at Market Rasen three weeks ago but he ought to have come on plenty, though AL SAYAH is preferred. Neil Mulholland's charge is two from two over this C&D, with the latest of those wins coming from 11lb lower. He was third in a stronger race at Cartmel latest however, suggesting his current mark is within range.

After a satisfactory reappearance over 2m, BUSY BEING BUSY (nap) can now resume the rapid progress he made over 2m4f in the spring.

Goffs Million winner DORSET can land his first black type victory. A maiden winner at the Curragh in June, the form of that race was well advertised when the second won a Group 2 race subsequently. Highly tried in two starts after that breakthrough success, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt created a very favourable impression when landing that aforementioned sales race last month. He deserves the chance to prove that he belongs at this level. Impressive Curragh maiden winner Mumhan also has to be of definite interest. Jim Bolger knows what it takes to train a leading juvenile and he rates this son of Mehmas highly. Daytona also holds every chance.

Ballydoyle representatives DAYTONA and Dorset have identical official ratings, the former getting the vote back on easier ground

It is hard to get away from YORGUNNABEPLUCKY. Evan Williams' charge made a winning chase debut at Ffos Las in June and 2lb rise could underestimate him. With improvement likely, he should prove a tough nut to crack. Bahtiyar was well beaten in third at Huntingdon earlier this month, but is 1lb lower today and may get closer. Annie Nail can chase the pair home.

Top of the list is YORGUNNABEPLUCKY, who won on chase debut at Ffos Las and is open to more progress upped in trip on his return.

Having justified favouritism at Newmarket 28 days ago, Coul Angel must enter calculations in his current vein of form. However, a 5lb higher mark and rise in class does demand another career-best performance from Mick Appleby's charge and MARTY HOPKIRK may offer more value. The three-year-old should find this easier than his latest assignments at Goodwood and York, with a return to the scene of his only triumph expected to help. Last-time-out winners Papa Cocktail and Queue Dos are others to consider.

Coul Angel is a key player but ALMARADA PRINCE looked more like his old self last time and is handicapped to win now.

Mark Molloy has a chance with Quint Major in the previous contest and he could be worth following again, as RHYTHMIC TUNE has been shaping like a step up to this trip will suit. He kept on nicely over 2m on handicap debut and stuck to his task well when third over an extended 2m2f at Cork last time. This trip might unlock a bit more improvement from the lightly-raced six-year-old. Gaelic Des Chastys won over fences at Listowel recently and now reverts to the smaller obstacles from 16lb lower than his new chase mark. Hurricane Honey won easily when last seen over timber in August and arrives here in good form.

Narrow preference is for RHYTHMIC TUNE who shaped as though ready for this step up in trip when third at Cork last Sunday

(2) Native Warrior 4/1, Most progressive 4yo who has won two big 7f handicaps here most recently and is 1lb well-in under a penalty now; needs to show he's quite as good, returned to 1m now; big chance if he is.
Has won competitive 7f handicaps here on last two starts; should be fine now back up to 1m.

Won at Newcastle in August and effective here but not at top of his game on last two runs.

Having relished a return to a mile when scoring in good style over C&D last month, Shout merits respect on his current upward trajectory. However, three-year-olds have only managed one success in this contest since its inception 11 years ago and it may pay to focus on the older generation. Four-year-olds have proved triumphant in four of the last eight renewals, with NATIVE WARRIOR ticking plenty of the right boxes. Karl Burke's inmate arrives at the top of his game after scoring twice here in recent weeks, including the Challenge Cup last time, and he looks ready once again for the extra furlong. Arisaig has been far from disgraced outside of handicap company on her last two outings and makes some each-way appeal, while Great Acclaim has been shaping as if this longer distance could eke out further improvement.

The step back up in trip should be ideal for OLIVER SHOW (nap), who went very close over 1m in the Lincoln. Bopedro is feared most.

A full-brother to Irish 1000 Guineas winner Lake Victoria, DRUIDS GLEN catches the eye on debut. The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt is making his first start at a relatively late stage of the season but connections are obviously keen to get a race into him on turf. It would be no surprise to see him land this prize, before possibly having one run at a higher level next month. Fifth at the Curragh earlier this month, the Aidan Melia-trained Unauthorized arguably has the best form of those with previous experience. While the colt will need to improve further, he has place possibilities at least. The Johnny Murtagh-trained newcomer Zenford is also worthy of respect.

This doesn't look the strongest of maidens for the venue and Lake Victoria's brother DRUIDS GLEN can make a winning debut

Smart hurdler BLUEKING D'OROUX signed off last season with success in the Grade 2 Select Hurdle at Sandown and is fancied to make a winning start over fences. Paul Nicholls' gelding receives weight from each of his more experienced rivals but he's likely to know what is required of him, especially given that sibling Path D'Oroux is no slouch over the larger obstacles himself. Fourth in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen, Riskintheground is the main danger, while Theformismighty can claim third place ahead of Gyenyame.

Smart hurdler BLUEKING D'OROUX is an exciting recruit to chasing and can collect this prize before moving on to bigger projects.

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

NORDIC GLORY landed a 0-55 contest over C&D last time with something in hand and this slight rise in class shouldn't prevent another bold showing. A 4lb rise looks manageable for the six-year-old and he's preferred to Bella Love. Although a maiden, the three-year-old has a decent shout judged on the pick of her form this season and she merits respect from a plum draw. Initial Blue and Ten Club are worth a second look too.

Last year's winner Saffredi is high on the list but the drop back in trip/grade could see TEN CLUB return to winning ways.

AMINA could be the answer. John McConnell's charge has been placed in both of her bumpers and her latest effort, which came here in April, has been well franked. John Gleeson is a notable booking. Blue Bresil filly Samba Train didn't fire at Listowel last month, but that was her first run following a break and she has some solid form in the book. Ill Raise A Glass showed improvement to get off the mark at Cork in March and there may be more to come from her. Tumbling In stayed on for fourth on debut at Listowel and is no back number, along with Tramore winner Alaskan View.

A chance is taken on TUMBLING IN improving enough from her Listowel debut to score for a local yard.

PRINCE DE JUILLEY has occupied the runner-up berth the last twice. The latest of those efforts came in a warmer event over 3m2f at Warwick and, with the Alastair Ralph stable in fine form, it would come as no surprise were he to go one better. Man Of The Sea has been successful on the Flat since finishing second in this sphere at Fontwell in June so is one to keep an eye on. Of the remainder, Lady Henrietta makes the most appeal.

Preference is for LADY HENRIETTA who wasn't beaten far when chasing home the right horse at Fontwell.

RIVER ARA should be competitive from an opening mark of 85, especially given that Jack Cleary can ease the burden with his 5lb claim. She finished runner-up in a fillies' maiden at Cork last month behind a subsequent Group 3 winner, which is a notable piece of form. She then stayed on for third when upped in trip to 1m on her next visit to Cork. Cherry Hill Girl forged on well for a wide-margin success over 1m on heavy ground in Listowel so any rain will be music to her ears. Invincible Will has plenty of experience and made the breakthrough when last seen at the Curragh, while Hamiyan's last two placed efforts bring him into the mix.

Only getting going late on over this trip at Cork last time RIVER ARA looks to have more to offer at this distance and gets the vote

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

A switch to aggressive tactics saw JAITROPLACLASSE making all over C&D last month and a 4lb rise could prove to be lenient. Robbie Llewellyn's inmate scored with something in hand and he may be able to fend off the returning Siam Park. The six-year-old lost little in defeat when thwarted in his bid for a four-timer at Plumpton in April and isn't taken lightly. Chase debutant Nordic Tiger sits on an attractive mark and is worth a second look in the betting.

It might be worth chancing chasing debutant NORDIC TIGER, who lost his way a bit last season but has become very well handicapped.

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

Although the highest rated, Dosman has failed to make an impact since racing under the tutelage of Jamie Osbourne in July and he may be worth taking on. Big Sip should appreciate reverting to Tapeta and cannot be discounted, but the returning BYSTANDER may have slightly more ability. The five-year-old posted some creditable efforts in defeat in deep handicaps throughout 2024 and may take some stopping if returning at a similar level on his stable bow.

This looks a minefield and BYSTANDER, who has strong AW form, is the most tentative of selections after 420 days off.

Third of five over C&D last month; does not set daunting standard of rules form.
LTO Selection:

Peaky Girl posted a respectable third on her racecourse debut at Newton Abbot last month and should put her experience to good use. However, there are some intriguing racecourse newcomers on show that may have more ability, with point-to-point runner-up SOLDIER REEVES topping the bill. Dan Skelton's charge was a 95,000-pound purchase at the Cheltenham Festival sales and he boasts enough speed in his pedigree to cope with a drop in trip. Hobbson's Day and Not Now also require a check in the market.

The market will provide some clues but GREAT DANCE is out of smart Irish hurdler Let's Dance and is selected to make a winning debut.

Sir Mark Prescott is always to be respected with his handicap debutants that are stepping up in distance and the unexposed KING'S HAND is no exception. Having cost 78,000gns as a yearling, the son of Kingman is a half-brother to a winner over this trip and he can start to fulfil his potential from a lenient opening mark. Stipulation has held his form well and is an obvious player, despite needing another personal best from his current rating. Imperial Trooper and Fihrayn are other notable contenders.

Being a solid contender whose recent form features a C&D success under Hollie Doyle, STIPULATION is preferred.

POPEYE DOYLE saw a hat-trick bid foiled over a mile at Southwell last month but created the impression that a stiffer test could now be in order. Having improved since racing with cheekpieces added, stepping in distance could be a further aid for progression and looks well worth exploring from an unchanged rating. Last-time C&D winner Flaine and the consistent Risen Again also have plenty to offer in this company, while seven-race maiden Flightofthephoenix is dangerous to underestimate.

With the cheekpieces retained, POPEYE DOYLE looks particularly solid. Flightofthephoenix is second choice.

3yo maiden; fourth over C&D last time; may build on that effort.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

A C&D winner on his penultimate start and respectable third after a troubled run back here last time, SNEAKY BLINDER can progress further over this trip. A current rating of 53 looks manageable and Robert Stephens's four-year-old merits another chance. Fashionelle was a place ahead of the selection when filling the runner-up slot here 12 days ago but might struggle to uphold the form on the revised terms. With that in mind, Forglen could be a bigger danger with the step back up in trip a likely source for improvement.

Off an attractive mark returned to the Flat, T OR COFFEY gets the vote. Witch Hazel is second pick.

6f AW win in April; two encouraging efforts for new yard but needs to be more smartly away.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

LUCKY MAN showed good speed to score over 6f here recently so dropping back in trip may not be an issue, and he can follow up for his in-form connections off 4lb higher. Beaten a neck when attempting to land the double over C&D earlier in the month, Invincible Crown must enter calculations again, along with Level Up, who won at Chelmsford last time out.

Lucky Man has a bit more to prove at 5f and Maris Angel and INVINCIBLE CROWN make greater appeal.

Not beaten far on each of his last three starts, with two of those efforts on the all-weather, ME TARZAN looks to have been found an ideal opportunity to regain the winning thread, for all that a wide draw isn't ideal. Handicap debutant Star Of Mali makes his second start after being gelded and must be of interest, along with Simply Blue, who finished third over C&D last time out.

Simply Blue ran well over C&D two weeks ago but LOOKS FANTASTIC can build on his stable debut now dropped back in trip.

BINTALINA has been a little frustrating recently, but stepping up to 1m4f for the first time could unlock the necessary improvement and she can break her maiden. The recent form of her stable is another positive, and she may have too much for Scarlet Sunset, who bids to maintain her unbeaten (2-2) track record on the back of an absence. Is I Right and Telepathic are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Telepathic is respected but SCARLET SUNSET (nap) has won on both her previous visits to Wolverhampton and retains potential.

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.
