Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (5/1 +0%) Oratorical	5 5/1(+0%)	(10) Oratorical 5/1, Ran to form when 2l third in a maiden over 7f at Chester most recently; off a short break; effective at 7f and acts on a sound surface; up in trip on softer ground here. Placed in July on first two starts; leading form claims on this first outing since.
2	8 2nd (8) (18/1 -13%) Pure Moon	18 18/1(-13%)	(8) Pure Moon 18/1, 23 Apr; 35,000gns Sea The Moon gelding; half-brother to Consolidation, smart at 7f; dam very useful at 7f at 2yo; wide draw; tough enough task on debut. Half-brother to two useful winners and trainer can ready one first time; not ruled out.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/4 +61%) Bridge Of Eagles	2.75 11/4(+61%)	(3) Bridge Of Eagles 11/4, Showed promise without the pace to challenge when well beaten in a novice at Salisbury on only start; bred for middle distances and should improve on that debut; soft may help. Soundly beaten on debut but not devoid of promise & connections have done well with family.
4	9 4th (9) (33/1 0%) Al's River	33 33/1(0%)	(9) Al's River 33/1, Showed only minor promise and made no impact from off the pace when well beaten in a novice at Salisbury on only start; bred to want around 10f and looks a type to do better in handicaps as a 3yo. Backed into 14-1 (from 40s) for recent debut at Salisbury but finished well beaten.
5th	4 5th (4) (40/1 -627%) Gaelic Approach	40 40/1(-627%)	(4) Gaelic Approach 40/1, Improved when second, beaten 5l in a novice at Ayr on testing ground; effective at 8f, acts on heavy; middle-distance bred but could have been flattered by the small field. 5l second of four at Ayr on second start and could continue to progress; one to consider.
6th	2 6th (2) (33/1 -83%) Barbury Boy	33 33/1(-83%)	(2) Barbury Boy 33/1, Well beaten after racing too keenly in a novice here on only start; likely to want at least 10f and looks one for handicaps as a 3yo. Cost 75,000euros at the breeze-ups in May but soundly beaten at 28-1 over C&D on debut.
7th	12 7th (12) (6/1 -71%) Charlotte Corday	6 6/1(-71%)	(12) Charlotte Corday 6/1, Showed nice improvement on debut when 3/4l third in a maiden at Leicester most recently; effective at 8f and acts on good to soft; type to do better again over further. Close third at Leicester recently on her second start and she's a possible player.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 -12%) Hansteen	28 28/1(-12%)	(7) Hansteen 28/1, Made no impact over an inadequate trip when well beaten in a novice over 7f at Catterick on only start; wide draw; bred for middle distances and should do better over further as a 3yo. Potential in pedigree but well beaten on this month's debut and has to leave that behind.
9th	6 9th (6) (9/2 -50%) Montague Menace	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(6) Montague Menace 9/2, Faced a tough task in a strong sales race when well beaten at Longchamp last time; trainer in form; bred for 8–10f and this looks more realistic. Improvement needed but with a respected trainer and back down in grade today.
10th	11 10th (11) (12/1 +57%) Tales Old As Time	12 12/1(+57%)	(11) Tales Old As Time 12/1, Below form, too keen and not staying a mile when beaten 9 1/2l in a novice at Kempton last time; wide draw; doubt about soft ground on this turf debut. Encouraging third on debut at Kempton in August but a lesser run followed there last month.
11th	1 11th (1) (40/1 -150%) Always A Saint	40 40/1(-150%)	(1) Always A Saint 40/1, 4 May; St Mark's Basilica colt; half-brother to Limato, top-class at 7f; dam moderate at 12f; very interesting debutant. Half-brother to four winners notably Limato; likely to improve for this debut.
12th	5 12th (5) (14/1 +22%) Gypsy Beat	14 14/1(+22%)	(5) Gypsy Beat 14/1, Green and showed little when well beaten in a maiden over 7f at Chepstow on only start; off a short break; bred to want 10f or more and can surely do better than that debut. Too green to do himself justice on debut but in top hands and could take big step forward.

GAELIC APPROACH wasn't expected to beat a 2/7 favourite at Ayr a fortnight ago, but gave a good account in second on heavy ground. The forecast going here could be a source of improvement for the son of Masar, who is forwarded as a strong contender. The betting should be informative and any support for the the likes of Charlotte Corday and Oratorical would need to be taken seriously. Pure Moon is an interesting newcomer to also keep an eye on.

This could go to the once-raced BRIDGE OF EAGLES, who is from a family his connections have done well with.

1	7 1st (7) (10/11 +67%) Ocean Conquest	0.909091 10/11(+67%)	(7) Ocean Conquest 10/11, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ascot last time having wanted easier ground. In good form prior; a speed and form selection. The pick on RPRs, but can jump left and make mistakes; may need more rain than forecast..
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 -67%) Amancio	5 5/1(-67%)	(1) Amancio 5/1, Keen and did too much too soon when comfortably held in a handicap over 12f at Chester last time. In good form prior and returns from a break. Effective at 2m, handled any ground on the Flat and was progressive when last seen over hurdles. Didn't settle but still made all at Chepstow in April (2m, good); more on under penalty..
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 -33%) Snatch A Glance	3 3/1(-33%)	(3) Snatch A Glance 3/1, Quickened clear cosily, improving and making good use of experience when winning a bumper here by 2 1/4l last time. Effective at 2m and suited by a sound surface. Bumper winner with form franked and more to come over hurdles with a fitness edge. C&D bumper winner latest (good to firm), despite not settling; certainly in the mix..
4	8 4th (8) (25/1 -150%) Sugar Road	25 25/1(-150%)	(8) Sugar Road 25/1, Keen and probably did not stay when down the field in a handicap over 1m5f at Hamilton most recently. Returns from a break and has a bit to find off a stiff mark. No stamina issues, but will need to help himself more than he's done on the Flat latterly..
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 -20%) Lord Cauvelliere	9 9/1(-20%)	(6) Lord Cauvelliere 9/1, Ran to form when second, beaten a head, in a bumper over 2m1f at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Returning from a break; effective at 2m and suited by quick ground. Bumper and point winner who should be competitive on hurdle debut. Two wins (one between the flags) and head second in three bumpers; player on hurdling bow..
2	2 \|S\| (2) (80/1 -100%) Seinesational	80 80/1(-100%)	(2) Seinesational 80/1, Possibly got racing early when fourth, beaten 17l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m7f at Worcester last time. Absent for a very lengthy period and has a lot to find. Winless for five years, and untried over this short a trip since July 2021; best watched..
5	5 \|RO\| (5) (28/1 -133%) Jack The Boss	28 28/1(-133%)	(5) Jack The Boss 28/1, Keen when winning a juvenile hurdle at Wetherby by 2l on debut. Returning from a long layoff and has a bit to find in better race. Demonstrably green in taking a madcap junior event last year; hard to gauge that form..

AMANCIO was successful on the level at Newbury back in the spring and also won when last seen in this sphere at Chepstow in April. Faye Bramley's charge is narrowly preferred to Ocean Conquest, who drops to novice company after being outclassed in a handicap at Ascot when last in action. A taking winner of a bumper at Ludlow earlier in the month, Snatch A Glance is an intriguing prospect on his debut in this sphere.

Seemingly the less inclined to date either to take a grip or contest the pace, LORD CAUVELLIERE is preferred to Snatch A Glance.

13:45 Fontwell (Class 4) 19f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (5/1 -122%) Fountains Blenhein	5 5/1(-122%)	(3) Fountains Blenhein 5/1, Far too keen in front and stopped quickly when finishing down the field in the Grade 2 Weatherbys NH Flat Race over 2m1f at Aintree last time; a value selection based on overall form. Won course bumper by 6l in March; taken very seriously on hurdling debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (13/2 +54%) Legal Weapon	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(5) Legal Weapon 13/2, Found little when finishing down the field in a bumper over 2m at Warwick last time; the trainer is in form; a 2m bumper winner with decent form who acts on good to soft; could bounce back now hurdling. Won Warwick bumper on debut; weakened tamely in both subsequent bumpers.
3	7 3rd (7) (14/1 +44%) Pounds At The Time	14 14/1(+44%)	(7) Pounds At The Time 14/1, Below form when down the field in an auction bumper over 2m at Naas last time; returning from a long layoff; effective at 2m on heavy or good ground but has plenty to find back from a break. Had mixed record in Irish bumpers but form of his Tramore second reads well.
4	10 4th (10) (12/1 -118%) Asta La Vista	12 12/1(-118%)	(10) Asta La Vista 12/1, Made a promising debut when fourth, beaten 2¼l, in a bumper over 2m at Worcester first time out; effective at 2m and may stay a bit further over hurdles. Close fourth on last month's bumper debut; ought to have a future over jumps.
5th	8 5th (8) (33/1 -32%) Rap Soul	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Rap Soul 33/1, Probably needed the run when modest on bumper debut, well beaten in a 2m event at Ffos Las last time; second run after wind surgery; placed in a 3m point and the step up in trip should suit on hurdles debut. Second on Irish point debut but well held in Ffos Las bumper on rules debut.
6th	4 6th (4) (20/1 -43%) Keno Black	20 20/1(-43%)	(4) Keno Black 20/1, Yard won this race last year; improved to finish third, beaten 18l, in a maiden over 3m at Quakerstown on latest start; showed minor promise in a 3m point but needs more to feature under rules. Unlucky not to win an Irish point in March; market may guide before this rules debut.
1	1 \|B\| (1) (9/2 +25%) Big Bert	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(1) Big Bert 9/2, Bit free but improved from his debut when second, beaten 16l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m5f at Huntingdon last time; effective at around 2½m and acts on good to soft; progressing over hurdles. Second in Carlisle bumper last season but first two hurdle runs were underwhelming.
9	9 \|B\| (9) (18/1 -29%) Vol Royale	18 18/1(-29%)	(9) Vol Royale 18/1, Raced wide but ran to form when fourth, beaten 3½l, in a bumper over 1m7f at Wincanton last time; a 3m point winner who should improve for stepping up in trip over hurdles. Irish point winner; fourth in both bumpers; not ruled out each-way on hurdle debut.
6	6 \|F\| (6) (6/4 +33%) Maldini Milano	1.5 6/4(+33%)	(6) Maldini Milano 6/4, Finished second, beaten 2½l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m6f at Newton Abbot last time; effective from 2m to 2m6f and suited by decent ground; a bumper winner who should improve for that hurdling debut experience. Small-field bumper winner; good start to hurdling career when second at Newton Abbot.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (25/1 +24%) Dancing Sky	25 25/1(+24%)	(11) Dancing Sky 25/1, Probably needed the run when modest on bumper debut, well beaten in a mares' bumper over 2m at Warwick last time; returning from a long layoff; a 3m point winner who should improve for the step up in trip over hurdles. Irish point winner in February 2024; made low-key bumper debut one year later.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (200/1 -700%) Country Style Boy	200 200/1(-700%)	(2) Country Style Boy 200/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle over 2m2f here last time; yet to show any worthwhile ability. Dropped out tamely and was pulled up when 22-1 for debut here (2m1f) three weeks ago.

It's hard to get away from MALDINI MILANO. Paul Nicholls' charge shaped with lots of promise when only finding one too good on his hurdles debut at Newton Abbot last month and would have learned a great deal from that experience. The drop in trip shouldn't pose any problems and he looks the way to go. Asta La Vista showed ability in his sole bumper start when fourth at Worcester and goes for the in-form Charlie Longsdon stable. Fountains Blenhein is the pick of the remainder.

A very respectable second on last month's hurdling debut at Newton Abbot, MALDINI MILANO is taken to build on that performance here.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (10/1 -67%) Startled	10 10/1(-67%)	(8) Startled 10/1, Did well after plenty of early running from a high draw when beaten 2l off 67 at Lingfield last time; effective at 5-6f; soft ground a doubt back on turf. Deserves extra credit for his Lingfield fourth and could play a leading role.
2	10 2nd (10) (9/2 +78%) Woolisle	4.5 9/2(+78%)	(10) Woolisle 9/2, Below form when beaten 5 1/4l in a nursery at Leicester last time, having been in good form prior; effective at 5-6f, acts on soft and good; more needed after latest disappointment but well handicapped at best. Third at Bath on penultimate start but failed to back it up last time and now 0-6.
3	2 3rd (2) (7/1 +56%) Marwaan	7 7/1(+56%)	(2) Marwaan 7/1, Didn't get home after a wide trip when beaten 4l off 70 over 7f at Lingfield last time; effective at 7f, doesn't stay further; lost form of late but now back sprinting. Sixth of 14 over 7f at Lingfield recently, shaping as though he may benefit from 6f.
4	14 4th (14) (12/1 +14%) Mad Unicorn	12 12/1(+14%)	(14) Mad Unicorn 12/1, Scored by 3/4l off 46 over 5f at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start; wasn't seen to best effect in a muddling race last time; trainer in form; suited by 5f; not proven on turf; strong sort with a bit more to come. In good form over 5f on AW on last two starts; could have more to offer now back up to 6f.
5th	1 5th (1) (5/1 +0%) Valor Spirit	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Valor Spirit 5/1, Did okay considering softer ground when 2 1/2l third in a maiden at Ayr last time; effective at 5-6f, acts on soft and good to firm; conditions again not ideal. 0-7 but has often run well and might not be far away.
6th	13 6th (13) (11/2 +31%) Madman	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(13) Madman 11/2, Improved form, closing from off the pace in an added visor when beaten a length off 56 at Leicester last time; usually held up; effective at 6-7f, acts on soft and good to firm; may be ready for a return to further. 0-8 but second of 14 at Leicester recently and every chance he'll be in the mix.
7th	7 7th (7) (20/1 -43%) Miss Piggle	20 20/1(-43%)	(7) Miss Piggle 20/1, Back to form down in class in new headgear combination when fourth beaten 5l in a nursery at Leicester last time; effective at 5-6f, acts on good and good to soft; considered in same grade as latest. 0-7 since winning on debut at Southwell in April and has to raise her game this afternoon.
8th	9 8th (9) (20/1 -67%) Noelies Dream	20 20/1(-67%)	(9) Noelies Dream 20/1, Improved form on ground that may have suited when beaten 4l in a maiden over 5f at Beverley last time; blinkers first time; effective at 5f, acts on soft and good to firm; maybe a bit more to come in nurseries. Return to 6f not a guaranteed plus on h'cap debut but not discounted in 1st-time headgear.
9th	6 9th (6) (40/1 -82%) Ryefield	40 40/1(-82%)	(6) Ryefield 40/1, Struggled on soft ground from the widest stall, finishing down the field in a nursery at Pontefract most recently; effective at 6f, acts on good to soft but not softer; ground again a concern. Runner-up in Pontefract maiden last month and wide draw was costly in nursery there latest.
10th	5 10th (5) (16/1 -14%) Flash Rascal	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Flash Rascal 16/1, Small improvement on first run since gelding and wind operations when beaten 2l off 67 at Yarmouth last time; second run after wind operation; effective at 5-6f, acts on a sound surface, probably not good to soft; small, stocky colt and others likelier. Encouraging fourth on recent nursery debut and may be able to build on that run.
11th	4 11th (4) (4/1 -14%) Up The Agenda	4 4/1(-14%)	(4) Up The Agenda 4/1, Liked slower ground, showing a good attitude on first run after gelding operation to land a handicap by a neck off 66 over 7f at Yarmouth last time; cheekpieces first time; effective at 7f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; could be more to come in added cheekpieces. Favourite when winning on nursery debut at Yarmouth and he's up just 2lb; key player.
12th	3 12th (3) (12/1 -33%) Runamara	12 12/1(-33%)	(3) Runamara 12/1, Wide trip and again below form when beaten 7l in a nursery over 5f at Chelmsford last time; effective at 5-6f; acts on soft; bit to prove after twice being well held in nurseries. Won soft-ground maiden at Bath last month but soundly beaten in two nurseries since.

STARTLED has shown promise in three starts on the all-weather since being gelded and reverts to turf with solid claims from a workable rating. Forced to race wide throughout at Lingfield on his latest start, that effort can be upgraded and Billy Loughnane takes over in the saddle. Yarmouth winner Up The Agenda also rates a serious player with cheekpieces added, while Mad Unicorn and Madman are others with appealing profiles to consider.

Having endured a wide trip at Lingfield last month, STARTLED did well to cling on for a close fourth and can get off the mark today.

1	4 1st (4) (3/1 +50%) Kit's Coty	3 3/1(+50%)	(4) Kit's Coty 3/1, Raced freely when taken on up front and was comfortably held in a handicap chase at Huntingdon last time. With her trainer in form, she could be in the mix. Just behind Another Day Out in this last year; didn't kick on, but wind since operated on..
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 -63%) Another Day Out	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(1) Another Day Out 13/2, Needed the run when 28l third in a handicap chase here on her latest start. Enjoys racing prominently and is effective from 2½m to 3m, though currently in moderate form. C&D scorer; nose second in this last year, but now 12lb worse off with Kit's Coty..
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 -14%) Trapista	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Trapista 4/1, Kept to modest form when 11l third in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Stratford on her latest run. Effective around 2½m but currently out of form. 3-26 over fences with one 2m4f win here (good); not sure step up to 3m rates a plus..
4	5 4th (5) (2/1 -14%) Mini Fortune	2 2/1(-14%)	(5) Mini Fortune 2/1, Won easily when improving to land a handicap by 9½l off a mark of 71 at Ffos Las last time. Stays 3m well, acts on good ground and looks well treated on her point win. Likely to follow up. Ready Ffos Las winner last week (3m, good); 1lb well in, but penalised mark asks more..
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (40/1 -789%) Loud And Proud	40 40/1(-789%)	(2) Loud And Proud 40/1, Well backed and ran to form when second, beaten 15l in a handicap chase at Fakenham last time, possibly finding something amiss late on. Has a small chance. Turned over at 1-9 in a match when last seen in April; sold out of Harry Derham's since..

A confident vote goes to MINI FORTUNE, who could not have done it any easier at Ffos Las last week and a 7lb penalty for that success is largely offset by 5lb claimer Callum Pritchard taking over in the saddle. Now with new connections and an easy winner at Doncaster on her penultimate start, Loud And Proud must be noted on her return. Another Day Out can step forward from her distant third over C&D most recently.

If she responds the right way to her wind operation, KIT'S COTY can get her chasing career back on track ahead of Mini Fortune.

1	3 1st (3) (8/1 -7%) Fortune Timmy	8 8/1(-7%)	(3) Fortune Timmy 8/1, Promising effort when runner-up, beaten 3/4l in a maiden over 3m at Tinahely on only start. Returns from a long layoff and showed plenty in that 3m point, suggesting he can make an impact over hurdles. Bought for £40,000 soon after going close on Irish point debut in January; market helpful.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 -75%) Doctor On Call	3.5 7/2(-75%)	(2) Doctor On Call 7/2, Quickened clear comfortably to win a bumper over 2m at Hereford by 3/4l on debut. Returns from a long layoff. A bumper winner bred to stay further over hurdles, with more expected for top connections. Beat a next-time-time winner on bumper debut at Hereford; good hurdling prospect.
3	1 3rd (1) (28/1 -273%) Ben Cruachan	28 28/1(-273%)	(1) Ben Cruachan 28/1, 15,000 euros Lauro gelding; half-brother to Punchers Path, fair at 22f; may just need this experience. Out of half-sister to useful chaser Bambi De L'Orme; makes belated debut here.
4	7 4th (7) (3/1 +60%) Nazare	3 3/1(+60%)	(7) Nazare 3/1, Ran to a similar level as his bumper form, just flattening out late when third, beaten 29l in a novice hurdle over 2m5f at Newbury on latest run. Looks the pick on race times. Bumper winner; well held when third on hurdling debut but this race looks easier.
5th	8 5th (8) (7/4 +71%) Silver Hill	1.75 7/4(+71%)	(8) Silver Hill 7/4, Raced lazily but ran to form up in grade when fourth, beaten 9l in a 2m bumper at Sandown last time. Trainer in form, and the 2m bumper winner should improve for a step up in trip over hurdles. Won on bumper debut and was fourth in a good race on next outing; player on hurdle debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 -80%) Kool Kid	6 6/1(-80%)	(5) Kool Kid 6/1, Bit keen but made a very promising debut when winning a bumper at Hereford over 2m by a length last time. Returns from a long layoff. That bumper win has been boosted, and his point form suggests further will suit over hurdles. Hereford bumper winner on rules debut in February; must be considered on hurdle debut.
7th	6 7th (6) (25/1 -127%) Name Me Nicely	25 25/1(-127%)	(6) Name Me Nicely 25/1, Raced wide on a promising bumper debut, beaten 8l in a 2m bumper at Ffos Las last time. Further than 2m should suit over hurdles, but he needs to find more. Just a respectable sixth in Ffos Las bumper on rules debut; improvement required.
8th	9 8th (9) (80/1 -60%) Ted The Thief	80 80/1(-60%)	(9) Ted The Thief 80/1, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when fourth, beaten 50l in a maiden hurdle over 1m7f at Wincanton last time. A 3m point winner who should appreciate a step up in trip but may need handicaps to be seen to best effect. Point winner in February but tailed off in two maiden hurdles in March; stable debut.

DOCTOR ON CALL made a good impression to score on his bumper debut at Hereford last December and is a half-brother to smart hurdles/chase winner Martator. The five-year-old looks to have been found a good starting point over timber and will prove hard to beat. Fortune Timmy finished second between the flags in January before changing hands for 40,000 pounds and warrants a market check. Kool Kid completes the shortlist.

One of four bumper winners in the line-up, NAZARE ought to find this easier than the Newbury novice hurdle he contested in March.

Trainer in form; usually held up; speed and form selection. Decent form in handicaps, stands out in this company on his Punchestown festival third.

Effective at 2m and handles any ground but inconsistent in bumpers, leaving him with a bit to prove. Well exposed in bumpers, placed twice from nine attempts, lacks hurdling experience.

IRISH PANTHER can get his turn having shown strong form last season. Lightly raced for his age, his initial bumper efforts were smart and although an eight-race maiden over hurdles, he was twice placed at Listed level last season and was also beaten just seven lengths in Cheltenham's County Hurdle. Ground-versatile, he makes his seasonal reappearance under his regular 7lb claimer. In The Trenches is enormously frustrating, having finished second on 12 occasions without ever winning. Although race-fit and ready for battle, he'll probably finish second again. Kentucky Beach's form suggests he will take third.

This looks straightforward for IRISH PANTHER who ran in the County Hurdle and signed off with a fine third at the Punchestown festival

Blinkers first time and returning from a break. Effective at 6f, acts on good and heavy going, return to soft turf may suit. Struggled in two sprint handicaps in 2025; new blinkers/slower ground not enough to tempt.

BAY BREEZE seemed revitalised by the first-time blinkers when second at Hamilton and could be worth chancing in his bid for back-to-back wins in this race off just 1lb higher than when successful last year. Bill Plumb is an obvious threat under a 5lb penalty after last week's strike at Yarmouth. With first-time cheekpieces complementing a tongue-tie, he could find even more. Willolarupi and Ziggy's Queen are others with claims.

Conditions should be ideal for TIRIAC (nap) and he can confirm the promise of his penultimate run. Count D'Orsay is feared most.

A taking winner over 2m at Worcester, CELESTRON STAR looked like a mare on top of her game and stepping up in trip could eke out further improvement in the five-year-old. A tad lucky to score at Bangor, Dothejive is still open to further progression and should be thereabouts. Ask Peter has yet to put it together since joining Anthony Honeyball, but the rise in distance may aid her cause.

Unextended in winning at Worcester last time and set to appreciate this longer trip, CELESTRON STAR is taken ahead of Dothejive.

Dunskay sports a first-time tongue-tie on his handicap/chase bow and also takes a step up in trip, so he is one to watch out for. Lord Maher competes off a career-low rating and is noted, but the vote goes to GRAIN TRADE. The six-year-old struck in ready fashion by six lengths at Market Rasen last week and a 7lb penalty is unlikely to prevent him from following up, especially with the Billy Aprahamian stable in such great form.

Recent winner Grain Trade has a poor record on slow ground and is opposed with chase/handicap debutant DUNSKAY.

Point-to-point winner HICKEYS HILL scored on his handicap debut and can defy a 6lb rise. A winner at Quakerstown last November, his initial hurdles form was ordinary but, switching to handicaps with a rating of 82, finished well to beat 15 rivals at Fairyhouse and going an extra furlong should suit. No Big Deal is a 17-race maiden, but all his best form has come in recent months. Three times a runner-up and placed third on another occasion, he is sure to again run well. Three-time hurdles winner Flashthelights should benefit from his recent reappearance run.

A sequence of placing on the Flat and over hurdles makes NO BIG DEAL an attractive proposition against less dependable rivals

Impressive on the step up to this extreme distance at Pontefract earlier in the month, ACTION PACT is likely to improve plenty following that success and a 3lb rise could prove lenient for the son of Golden Horn. A highly progressive sort of late, with three wins in his last five starts, Both Of Us is capable of being in the shake-up again. Trojan Sun displayed a willing attitude when holding on narrowly to score at Musselburgh recently.

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

YES DAY looked to be getting into contention when falling four out over C&D and he may be able to gain compensation off the same mark. Twice a winner last season, he relishes quick ground and is preferred to the returning Histrionic, who is a point-to-point winner so has plenty of potential on his debut in this sphere. Due to go up 3lb after his success over hurdles at Ffos Las last week, D'jo Dela Barriere is another to note on the switch back to chasing.

Histrionic is respected but YES DAY is already a dual winner over fences and was returning to form when falling here 15 days ago.

Plus Point produced a better effort when second at Worcester in May and makes her handicap debut in this sphere on her return to action. However, HELLO CELLO finished third in this grade over the same C&D in June and is now 1lb lower. If ready to go, she could be the one to beat. Clear Storm showed promise prior to falling at Market Rasen in July and is another to keep an eye on.

Fair Flat performer PLUS POINT showed improved form in her final run over hurdles and she could be entering handicaps off a handy mark.

LAU AND SHAZ should benefit from her recent reappearance and was useful last season. Placed three times in bumpers, she now contests her third hurdle race and although nicely held at Listowel, that was a smart maiden and she drops to a more manageable race. Music Of Life was beaten a neck at Listowel and ran nicely at Roscommon eight days later, but might struggle to beat the selection. Courtmac Gesture finished fifth in a Listed bumper recently but debuts over jumps, while Clarnagh Maid was soundly beaten by a debutant stablemate at Tipperary. Moonlight Paradise was bought for 60,000 pounds after defeating a subsequent bumper winner in a point-to-point last May, while her reappearing stable companion Two Pair also debuts over timber.

The tentative vote goes to MUSIC OF LIFE who has produced back-to-back career bests for her new yard and sets the standard on form

Lost In Wonder has failed to land too much of a blow in three starts in maiden/novice company, but could prove a different proposition on her handicap bow. Even so, the hat-trick seeking WRYDCROFT looks the way to go. Pam Sly's gelding hasn't looked back since competing in the handicap ranks and struck in comfortable style at Leicester, with the extra furlong here not posing any fears. Last-time-out Ayr scorer Oilisa is another to note.

Wrydcroft and OILISA are 3yos with recent winning form who could have more to offer, with preference for Oilisa.

TOUCHWOODEXPRESS, Tankardstown Diva and Prince De Juilley are all bidding to complete doubles, but preference is for the first-named. The Twiston-Davies' charge appreciated the return to this discipline when going in by three lengths at Newton Abbot and might have been let off lightly with just a 2lb rise. Prince De Juilley showed improvement in a first-time visor to score at Stratford, but blinkers being reapplied raises a question mark.

One of three last-time handicap winners, TOUCHWOODEXPRESS (nap) is comfortably the least exposed. Tankardstown Diva is next best.

Preparations are approaching full swing at the in-form Paul Nicholls yard and the multiple champion trainer has another key player in the returning PASO DOBLE. The eight-year-old has won when fresh in the past and he can exploit a handy rating back over hurdles. George's Lad was still in the mix when he fell in the EBF Final at Sandown and merits close inspection resuming at this level. Goodwin, a C&D winner on his penultimate start, completes the shortlist.

Topweight GEORGE'S LAD (nap) ran very well before his final-flight fall in a hot novices' handicap in March and can improve this season

Progressive four-year-old ELUSIVE OGIE finished a good third in a smart renewal of the Lartigue Hurdle last month. A maiden winner in May, at Listowel he finished behind runner-up Puturhandstogether - a Cheltenham Festival winner who subsequently bagged the valuable Irish Cesarewitch. Union Park hasn't won for almost two years but can benefit from his recent reappearance, when he was hampered. An able 123-rated chaser, he contested some smart races in that sphere last season and has a light weight. Rexem landed an ordinary claimer here recently and his rider now claims 7lb.

There were promising signs that PORTNACOO was getting back on track earlier this month and he should be competitive from this mark

It's a bit of a surprise that Karthala sports first-time blinkers after showing a nice amount of improvement with the application of cheekpieces when second at Yarmouth, but he still has to be respected. The booking of Billy Loughnane on Sawgrass is noteworthy, but SPARTAN TIMES gets the nod. The son of Frontiersman readily returned to winning ways over 1m2f at Redcar and, despite the considerable rise in trip, he will prove hard to beat.

Karthala could relish the step up in trip but this could go to another 3yo in WESTLAIN, who also looks to have plenty of stamina.

Olivia Kate's sole career success came over C&D and she may strip fitter for her reappearance fifth over an inadequate trip at Chepstow earlier this month. However, MATCHADAM was well fancied when only fourth at Southwell in May and has since undergone a wind operation. With the Tom Lacey string in fine order and the possibility of more to come on just his third handicap outing, he looks the one to side with. Briery Butterfly isn't ruled out either.

He may want further but MATCHADAM has had a wind operation since failing favourite backers last time and he's given another chance.

OF CORSE I CAN has improved since stepping back up in trip and being sent chasing. From a very workable mark, the eight-year-old can take another step forward to complete a three-timer, with stylish claimer Bradley Harris retaining the ride. Record High was a C&D winner in February and has a decent chance off just 4lb higher. Ballintara and Grand Sabre are others to consider.

Bottomweight OF CORSE I CAN displayed a willing attitude when winning twice this month (once over C&D) and is still on a good mark.

After unseating at the first in the Munster National on Sunday, NARA is turned out again quickly. Fancied by many for that valuable Limerick contest, the Henry de Bromhead-trained five-year-old returns to calmer waters. The winner of what was a weak Grade 2 at Thurles last season, she has a rating of 136 and it will be disappointing if she fails to account for her four rivals. Second and fourth to Cloonainra at Listowel last month, Enjoy The Dream and Speculatrix are the dangers. The latter was since successful at Chepstow and might reverse the form. Littlebiggie and Ad Caelum complete the line-up, with both likely to struggle.

It may be worth giving NARA another chance after her early unseat earlier this week and she was a Grade 2 winner last term.

Papa Don't Preach is capable at this level but can be a tricky ride and isn't one for maximum faith. Neither is Nelson Gay, who also boasts more placed efforts than career wins and isn't one for the faint-hearted. However, it's possible that the competitively-weighted DANDY FITZ can build on an improved effort when third at Newcastle last time. He shades the nomination with a speculative vote. Arlington is also feared but faces competition for the lead and might struggle to supplement his last-time-out C&D win.

With a strong pace likely this might set up ideally for NELSON GAY who perhaps found himself in front too early here last time.

Swinging London got up to score by a short head at Newcastle last Friday and will need to transfer that form to turf. Even if he does, the son of Dark Angel might still be up against it with ETHELWULF in opposition. The Gosdens' gelding finished second over an extended 1m3f at Yarmouth recently, shaping as if this step up in distance could unlock improvement. Off an unchanged mark, he could be the one to beat. Gifted Angel is another to watch out for.

Although there are some potential improvers on show, there should be another big run in the offing from SWINGING LONDON.

PEP TALKING hasn't finished outside the top two in any of his last four starts, most recently taking the silver medal home at Huntingdon, and he goes off an unchanged mark. Billy Aprahamian's seven-year-old drops in grade and could take full advantage. Pooroldmackley was well beaten in third at Newton Abbot last month, but is 1lb lower and may get closer. Stardhem looks best of the rest.

The booking of Gina Andrews and a good reappearance outing are sufficient to gain PEP TALKING the verdict over old rival Stardhem.

A highly promising third when only beaten half a length on his introduction at Kempton earlier in the month, ARGY BHAJI is entitled to improve plenty for that effort and this looks like an ideal opportunity to break the maiden. Runner-up on each of his two starts since being gelded, Zoiros is likely to be thereabouts again. Titanck shaped well, despite being slowly away, on his nursery debut and is another to consider.

Titanck is second choice behind ARGY BHAJI, who showed plenty of promise when a close third at Kempton on debut.

10	10 (10) (40/1 -150%) Jamaicaine	40 40/1(-150%)	(10) Jamaicaine 40/1, Stopped quickly and needed the run when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Worcester most recently; fair mark on best form but has had issues. Back from long absence with two heavy defeats this season; still worth a market check.
2	2 (2) (50/1 -355%) Drumheller	50 50/1(-355%)	(2) Drumheller 50/1, Below form when outclassed, finishing 47l third in a novice hurdle over 2m5f at Plumpton on his most recent run; has a bit to find. Safely held in his qualifying races and did not get far on handicap debut; back from break.
9	9 (9) (66/1 -100%) Ballyhealy Diamond	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Ballyhealy Diamond 66/1, Keen and outpaced, outclassed when comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m3f here last time; returning from a break and more required. Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for three novice/maiden hurdles.

JINGLE JANGLE JET could be set for further success if he picks up where he left off in March. That Newcastle triumph was the seven-year-old's final start for Philip Kirby, but this is no tougher and it could provide an ideal starting point for his career with Ben Pauling. Kopa Kilana has held his form well and looks worth another try over this sort of trip. Call Your Bluff merits a betting check.

Another chance is given to SLEMISH, who didn't really fire last time but was a very good second here two starts ago.

Recent hurdle winner; struggled in 2 chase starts but 7lb lower chase mark at least.

Off the mark over fences here latest and form boosted; only up 3lb.
6	6 (6) (5/1 +23%) Person Of Interest	5 5/1(+23%)	(6) Person Of Interest 5/1, Won by 12l off 100 over 2m3f at Downpatrick two starts back but was badly hampered by fallers and pulled up in a handicap chase last time; the form of that chase win looks weak. Pulled up either side of Downpatrick success and can make errors.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +35%) Ceroc	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(2) Ceroc 13/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Listowel last time; effective between 2 1/2m and 3m; dangerous if allowed easy time up front. Pulled up after errors on yard debut; 0-8 over fences; probably needs further.

Kilbeggan winner on chase bow; needs to bounce back from 2 lesser runs; unproven on ground.
1	1 (1) (11/1 -38%) Jasmin De Cotte	11 11/1(-38%)	(1) Jasmin De Cotte 11/1, Fell early in a handicap chase over 3m at Listowel last time; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m but inconsistent in form. Won beginners' in May-24 but gone the wrong way since; fell heavily on last month's return.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +40%) Jouster	12 12/1(+40%)	(5) Jouster 12/1, Never involved when back from a break and needing the run down the field in a 2m handicap hurdle at Punchestown; effective over 2 1/2m with cut but out of form in 2025.

After deservedly making the breakthrough at this venue earlier in the month, SPELLACY'S CROSS might follow up. The Jimmy Barcoe-trained six-year-old has gone up just 3lb and still looks nicely treated off a mark of 95. With Darragh O'Keeffe aboard, Listowel winner Ollie La Ba Ba is the second choice. Rated 7lb higher over flights, he could take advantage of his lower chase mark. Although pulled up in the same contest when last seen, Person Of Interest and Ceroc had valid excuses and are of definite interest in this competitive affair. The Dara Man was still in with every chance when unseating three out at Cork and, with Michael Kenneally again claiming a valuable 7lb, he should be able to make his presence felt.

This may not take much winning and it could be a good chance for recent course winner, SPELLACY'S CROSS, to follow up

Incurs penalty for Kempton win but Jack Callan takes off a useful 5lb; respected.

2	2 (2) (5/1 +0%) Bintola	5 5/1(+0%)	(2) Bintola 5/1, Improved from debut but had too much to do after missing the break when second, beaten 3l in a novice at Kempton latest; effective at 6f and bred for 8-10f; improving.

8	8 (8) (50/1 -213%) Slot	50 50/1(-213%)	(8) Slot 50/1, Improved from debut though flattened out up in trip after a big move to finish 2 1/2l third in a maiden at Newcastle on her most recent run; effective at 5f on the all-weather, pedigree all speed but may get 6f. Has place possibilities but likely needs progress to get off the mark.

Fiery Damsel took a step forward from her debut effort to get off the mark at Kempton last month and holds an obvious chance. However, she might find it tough to give her penalty away to BINTOLA. Harry Charlton's juvenile produced an improved display when occupying the runner-up berth at the same venue latest and, with normal improvement, she will prove hard to beat. Any market confidence behind newcomer Cryingintherain would be interesting.

Kempton scorer FIERY DAMSEL is the form pick, while Cryingintherain is an interesting newcomer, assuming she consents to load.

Won three of her last five starts; only fourth last time but in Class 4; high on the list.
7	7 (7) (9/2 -13%) Velvet Whisper	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(7) Velvet Whisper 9/2, Back to her best up in trip when beaten a neck off 64 at Redcar last time; effective up to 10f and acts on good to firm and good to soft ground, though whether she handles soft ground remains to be seen. Improved for 1m2f at Redcar 19 days ago; slower ground to deal with this time.
8	8 (8) (13/2 +41%) Chambers	6.5 13/2(+41%)	(8) Chambers 13/2, Lacked pace in a novelty event, finishing down the field over 8f at Doncaster most recently; wears cheekpieces first time; effective at 1m2f and handles heavy ground, with this trip likely more suitable than last time. Promising stable debut; trip/ground okay; interesting down in class with accessories on.
10	10 (10) (7/1 +79%) Dust Cover	7 7/1(+79%)	(10) Dust Cover 7/1, Soft ground may not have suited off a stiff mark when beaten 10l in an 8f Sandown handicap last time; returns from a short break and should be suited by around 8f, though has a bit to prove over soft ground at this trip. Not solid but low mileage and he drops in class and steps up in trip.
3	3 (3) (15/2 -7%) Freddy Robinson	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(3) Freddy Robinson 15/2, Ran to form in added blinkers despite trouble when third, beaten 4 1/4l in a Beverley handicap most recently; effective at 10-12f and acts on any ground, but stamina still to prove over this far.

16	16 (16) (8/1 +50%) Moonlit Cloud	8 8/1(+50%)	(16) Moonlit Cloud 8/1, Again below form despite the drop in trip when beaten 7l in a Chelmsford handicap last time; effective at 10f, handles soft ground and the all-weather, but inconsistent and has something to prove at present. C&D winner who handles testing conditions; needs to bounce back from two modest efforts.
11	11 (11) (9/1 +18%) Princess Amber	9 9/1(+18%)	(11) Princess Amber 9/1, Bit below form when dropped in trip, beaten 4l off 65 over 8f at Kempton last time; effective from 7-10f and handles good and all-weather surfaces, but the mark looks stiff and soft ground may be a concern. Best RPR came in her one run on soft ground; optimum trip hard to gauge but can't discount.
14	14 (14) (10/1 +9%) San Francisco Bay	10 10/1(+9%)	(14) San Francisco Bay 10/1, Involved too soon in a race set up for closers when fourth, beaten 4l in a Bath handicap latest; effective up to 10f, acts on good to firm and heavy ground, and could fare better back at this venue.

Three 1m2f wins in August; second at Redcar latest; soft ground may suit others more.

Unplaced all seven starts; not progressing and connections now reach for headgear.

Failed to build on promising Beverley run at Catterick latest; down in class but opposable.

Poor Flat form thus far but down in class and up in trip; better expected this time.
15	15 (15) (50/1 +0%) Treasured Angel	50 50/1(+0%)	(15) Treasured Angel 50/1, Well below form and appeared not to stay when well beaten in an 11f Yarmouth handicap latest; wears cheekpieces first time; effective at 10f and acts on soft ground, with the drop in trip likely to help. Little solid form and hopes rest on the new cheekpieces giving her a lift.
6	6 (6) (125/1 -150%) Luisa	125 125/1(-150%)	(6) Luisa 125/1, Below form when dropped in trip on stable debut, well beaten in a 9f Wolverhampton handicap last time; effective up to 10f but all worthwhile form is on the all-weather, leaving something to prove on soft turf. Low-key stable debut on AW last month; too much to prove for comfort.

Sweet Kiss only finished fourth when attempting to complete a hat-trick at Newcastle, but is likely to enjoy the return to turf so she has to be considered. C&D winner San Francisco Bay is noted, but it may pay to side with VELVET WHISPER. Ed Bethell's filly relished the step up to this trip when outrunning odds of 22/1 to fill the runner-up spot at Redcar earlier this month. With a similar performance, she could be the one to beat.

A few 3yos of note, with the thriving Sweet Kiss perhaps the pick, but FREDDY ROBINSON is a reliable performer who drops in class.

FAN MAIL got his head back in front at Southwell and Tim Easterby's charge should have plenty more to come so he can follow up off 4lb higher. Similar comments apply to So Sassy, who has also been raised 4lb for getting up late to score at Lingfield in August. Maui Breeze looks to build upon a promising runner-up effort at Southwell last month.

Plenty of these have chances but FAN MAIL finished off strongly to win at Southwell last time and he's selected to follow up.

While ultimately disappointing since switching to the larger obstacles, he ran his best race for quite some time when second in first-time blinkers at Sligo and it will be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end in a contest of this quality. Runner-up on recent starts at Listowel and Downpatrick, Toor Moon is sure to have plenty of supporters. Onefortheditch, Seventy Eight Team and Sharetheknowledge are others for the shortlist.

Potentially well handicapped relative to her hurdles mark, ONEFORTHEDITCH is a hopeful choice to score on her fourth chase attempt.

2	2 (2) (11/4 +8%) Mamma Maria	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(2) Mamma Maria 11/4, Won by a neck off 65 at Ffos Las in August; had too much to do after meeting trouble when second beaten 1 1/2l off 69 last time; trainer in form; effective at 7-8f, acts on soft, good and all-weather; consistent. Solid second on the Chelmsford AW last time and this track could suit her better.
7	7 (7) (16/5 +54%) Ghaiyyath Park	3.2 16/5(+54%)	(7) Ghaiyyath Park 16/5, Ran to form when beaten 5l in a 3yo race over 10f at Dresden last time; effective 9-11f; consistent performer in Germany and her mark looks fair for this stable debut. A bit of an unknown quantity on British/handicap debut and needs a market check.
5	5 (5) (7/1 +13%) Grey Phoenix	7 7/1(+13%)	(5) Grey Phoenix 7/1, No obvious excuse when comfortably held in a handicap at Nottingham last time; in good form prior; effective at 1m, acts on all-weather; mark looks stiff enough. Disappointing on turf last week but she could be better on the AW.
4	4 (4) (15/2 +6%) Midsummer Music	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(4) Midsummer Music 15/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off 63 at Chepstow on her penultimate start; ran to form when fourth beaten 3l off 65 last time; effective at 7-8f on a sound surface and currently in form. Found wanting at this level when behind Live Each Day at Kempton.

Course winner; came from last to first at Kempton a month ago; raised 5lb.
11	11 (11) (17/2 +6%) Liberty Bird	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(11) Liberty Bird 17/2, No obvious excuse when well beaten in a handicap over 9f at Wolverhampton latest; effective 7-10f, acts on all-weather; mark is easing but recent form has been inconsistent. Form to feature off this mark but a hard filly to predict and ran no race five days ago.
1	1 (1) (14/1 -40%) Zariela	14 14/1(-40%)	(1) Zariela 14/1, Below form when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap over 7f at Newmarket (July) last time; off a short break; suited by 1m and a sound surface; just one decent effort in her last four starts. First and second in 1m handicaps this season; capable of being involved back at 1m.
9	9 (9) (16/1 +0%) Calaxy	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Calaxy 16/1, Stepped up in trip but possibly failed to stay when finishing down the field in a handicap over 11f at Windsor most recently; off a short break; effective at 7f on all-weather; has yet to prove she retains her ability. Course maiden winner but has finished right out the back in three handicaps this year.
3	3 (3) (20/1 -67%) Geo	20 20/1(-67%)	(3) Geo 20/1, Had every chance but finished below form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Newbury last time; off a short break; effective at 7f but yet to fully convince with stamina for further. Best form was the Newbury nursery win over 7f since when she's gone 0-6.
10	10 (10) (20/1 +0%) Salve Electra	20 20/1(+0%)	(10) Salve Electra 20/1, May not have stayed when beaten 8l in a handicap over 10f at Chelmsford last time; suited by 1m, only worthwhile form on good ground; bit to prove. Hasn't kicked on in handicaps, especially modest the last twice.
8	8 (8) (25/1 -25%) Biplane	25 25/1(-25%)	(8) Biplane 25/1, Found little and was well beaten in a handicap at Thirsk latest; in good form prior; off a short break; effective 6-8f on sound surface; back below last winning mark but largely in poor form. Never figured on turf last time (1m) but wasn't far away over 7f here the time before.

LIVE EACH DAY made her way through the field to score by just under two lengths at Kempton latest and is just 5lb higher. Considering the manner of that success, the daughter of Persian King looks the one to beat. Ghaiyyath Park makes some appeal on her first start for the James Tate stable after showing a fair amount of ability in Germany, while Mamma Maria is another to keep an eye on.

Perhaps unlucky not to be a dual winner on turf, MAMMA MARIA ran a solid race at Chelmsford last time and this track could suit better.

Effective over 7f to 8f and acts on the all-weather; the step back up in trip may help. Kept on for second of eight over a mile at Kempton 13 days ago; up to 1m2f for yard debut.
4	4 (4) (11/4 +58%) Captain Cairney	2.75 11/4(+58%)	(4) Captain Cairney 11/4, Produced best work late in added cheekpieces when 9l third in a nursery over 8f at Bath on his most recent run. Effective at 8f and acts on the all-weather; the return to this surface may suit. Beaten around 9l when third in first-time cheekpieces at Bath (1m) last time; up in trip.
7	7 (7) (7/2 -5%) Thanh Nam	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(7) Thanh Nam 7/2, Raced lazily in added cheekpieces when fourth, beaten 5 1/4l in a nursery over 7f at Wolverhampton latest. Usually held up; effective at 7f and acts on the all-weather; shapes as though this longer trip will suit. Got going too late over 7f in two starts since handicapping; this longer trip may suit.
3	3 (3) (15/2 -114%) Captain Bruce	7.5 15/2(-114%)	(3) Captain Bruce 15/2, Improved for the longer trip when landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off 50 at Newcastle last time. Effective from 7f to 10f and acts on the all-weather; likely to have more to offer. Won here over 7f in August; improved effort when upped to 1m2f at Newcastle latest; up 5lb.
2	2 (2) (17/2 -31%) Loose Connection	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(2) Loose Connection 17/2, Ran to form up in trip when beaten 3 1/2l off 57 at Newcastle last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time and the trainer is in form. Effective from 8f to 10f; a forward ride down in trip may suit. Posted a solid effort over 1m2f at Newcastle on handicap debut; cheekpieces now applied.
6	6 (6) (20/1 +20%) Sporty Socks	20 20/1(+20%)	(6) Sporty Socks 20/1, Never travelling down in trip when comfortably held in a nursery over 7f at Leicester last time. Effective at 8f and acts on the all-weather; potential to appreciate this longer distance. Beaten 15l over 7f at Leicester last time; dam won over 1m2f on AW so of some interest.
5	5 (5) (22/1 -175%) El Carrusel	22 22/1(-175%)	(5) El Carrusel 22/1, Ran to form but was possibly outstayed up in trip, having looked the winner before being beaten 2l off 52 over 8f at Yarmouth last time. Cheekpieces are on for the first time; effective at 7f on a sound surface and on a fair mark if building on latest. Second of five at Yarmouth (1m) on nursery debut; stiff task yesterday; cheekpieces added.

An eyecatcher at Wolverhampton when slowly away and short of room two furlongs out before staying on well late for fourth, THANH NAM is likely to appreciate the step up in trip and he can strike. Captain Bruce comfortably accounted for Loose Connection at Newcastle and he can uphold that form, despite being 5lb worse off. Now in the hands of Dylan Cunha after a creditable second at Kempton, Telfy Boy cannot be ruled out either.

Telfy Boy shaped as if worth a try over this trip last time but CAPTAIN BRUCE can follow up his Newcastle win off 5lb higher.

Went close at Chelmsford when last seen; could well take another step forward.
5	5 (5) (85/40 -70%) Quamby	2.125 85/40(-70%)	(5) Quamby 85/40, Missed the break and had too much to do when second beaten 1/2l in a novice over 10f at Wetherby last time; effective at 10f and suited by a sound surface; improving though the drop in trip may not be ideal. Close second, behind subsequent Listed scorer, at Windsor when last seen; the form pick.

Trailed home last of six at Pontefract in June.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -127%) To Be Honest	50 50/1(-127%)	(9) To Be Honest 50/1, Green but improved a little for debut experience when beaten 5l in a novice over 10f at Nottingham last time; off a short break; drop to 1m should suit and may be one for handicaps.

Al Durry has finished thereabouts on both starts so far, including when second over this trip at Chelmsford in May, and she is likely to be on the premises. However, QUAMBY only found subsequent Listed scorer Victoria Harbour too good on her sole outing this year and could have more to offer. David Simcock's filly sets the standard with an official rating of 81 and is tough to oppose. Too Farhh Gone can fight it out for the minor honours.

Judged on her solid effort behind a useful sort, QUAMBY is the form choice. Al Durry is feared most.

GOOD OLD DAYS was a promising third when introduced in an Ascot maiden over this trip in May. A full-sister to multiple top-level winner Nations Pride, the Gosdens have given her plenty of time to develop and a victory at this stage of her career would present an enviable quandary about where to go next. Solarize's all-weather experience could make him a bigger danger than the more exposed Goodwood Mogul and Participle.

Solarize built on his debut effort when third over 1m4f at Kempton last time but a chance is taken on GOOD OLD DAYS.

KNICKERBOCKER battled on gamely but was just touched off into second behind Saytarr on handicap debut at Kempton last month and the assessor may have been kind to only put her up 2lb. With the likelihood of more to come, she could turn the tables on that rival. Alessia Fernanda outran her odds of 40-1 to finish fourth over C&D at the start of the month and has dropped to an appealing mark.

The switch to AW could see the well-bred FOREST CAPER break his duck at the ninth attempt. Unexposed Knickerbocker is feared most.

Keeping MASSIMO BLUE busy after his win at Southwell narrowly failed to pay off when he was a close second at Wolverhampton under a penalty last Saturday. However, the three-year-old did little wrong and was simply outgunned by one who got first run so compensation could await. Shalaa Asker looks a danger after a respectable third over C&D, while Twilight Madness can't be ruled out from a handy mark.

Massimo Blue can't be dismissed but SHALAA ASKER ran well over C&D last time and is selected to end a lengthy losing run.

The one who appeals most is the Edward Bethell-trained COUNTING CARDS. The son of Territories has been gelded/undergone a wind operation since last September and now makes his handicap debut up in distance. Coeur Jaune has struck twice on the turf this season and, if transferring that form to the all-weather, she could have a say. Tokyo Joe is unexposed over this trip and might also get involved.

Off an attractive mark returned to the scene of his peak effort, TOKYO JOE is particularly interesting. Koge is second pick.

4	4 (4) (2/1 +27%) Summer Heat	2 2/1(+27%)	(4) Summer Heat 2/1, Well placed and ran to form when beaten a length off 73 over 10f here last time. Trainer in form. Effective from 8f to 10f and handles the all-weather. Wears a visor for the first time, replacing cheekpieces. Travelled well to lead here (1m2f) latest before run down here on; back to 1m; visor on.
3	3 (3) (9/4 +36%) Sheikh Raj	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(3) Sheikh Raj 9/4, Ran to form when faced with soft ground for the first time, beaten 3l off 75 over 7f at Ayr last time. Usually held up and drawn wide. Effective over 7f to 8f and acts on good to firm and all-weather surfaces. Considered back up in trip. Did his best work late on when third at Ayr last time; holds strong claims returned to 1m.
1	1 (1) (5/1 -43%) Waiting All Night	5 5/1(-43%)	(1) Waiting All Night 5/1, Well placed in a steadily run race when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 71 over 7f here last time. Effective from 7f to 8f, acts on any surface, but inconsistent and tends to go well at Newmarket. New mark demands more. A 5lb penalty for last week's 7f win still leaves him on a handy mark and he's a contender.
9	9 (9) (7/1 +7%) Dalmally	7 7/1(+7%)	(9) Dalmally 7/1, Did too much early in first-time blinkers when well beaten in a handicap at Brighton last time. In good form before that. Effective from 8f to 10f and acts on the all-weather. Removal of headgear could be beneficial. Hung left when second at Windsor and did so again when disappointing at Brighton last time.
2	2 (2) (12/1 -60%) Theme Park	12 12/1(-60%)	(2) Theme Park 12/1, A slow start cost him when beaten 3 1/4l off 74 at York last time. Effective from 8f to 10f and best on a sound surface. Now dropping in the weights but needs to show more back on the all-weather. Beaten about only 3l at York last month and now drops in grade on his return to AW.
5	5 (5) (14/1 -27%) Divine Legacy	14 14/1(-27%)	(5) Divine Legacy 14/1, Again below his best despite a drop in grade, finishing 6 1/4l third in a 10f seller here last time. Wears a visor for the first time. Suited by 10f and a sound surface, and the drop in trip with new headgear may help. Below his best in both starts since finishing second at Doncaster in July; visor goes on.
8	8 (8) (16/1 +0%) Beauty By My Side	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Beauty By My Side 16/1, Failed to run to form when beaten 8l in a Yarmouth handicap last time. Cheekpieces go on for the first time. Effective at 8f and acts on the all-weather, so a return to this surface in new headgear could suit. Sole win came on AW; ran well when third at Kempton but below her best on turf last time.
7	7 (7) (50/1 -317%) Luminoso	50 50/1(-317%)	(7) Luminoso 50/1, May have needed the run but still raced too keenly when fourth, beaten 6l in a novice over 7f at Southwell last time. Wide draw. Effective at 8f on the all-weather but a free-going sort who needs to settle over this longer trip. Runner-up at Southwell on debut in April but not so good in two runs since; handicap debut.
10	10 (10) (50/1 -127%) Pacifist	50 50/1(-127%)	(10) Pacifist 50/1, Below form with no obvious excuse when down the field in a handicap at Newcastle last time, though had been in good form before. Yard won this race last year. Wide draw. Effective at 8f and acts on the all-weather, considered on earlier effort. Beaten a head over C&D last month but she was well beaten last time; up in grade.
6	6 (6) (100/1 -150%) Penfolds Grange	100 100/1(-150%)	(6) Penfolds Grange 100/1, Always behind on stable debut when beaten 8l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Effective around 1m on the all-weather but inconsistent, and others appeal more. Won a maiden at Wolverhampton last November; beat only one home on stable debut last time.

WAITING ALL NIGHT already has winning form over a mile and appeals under a 5lb penalty for last week's course success over a furlong shorter. The son of Rajasinghe kept on well that day and could again be tough to overhaul if replicating the form. The Godolphin-owned Summer Heat cuts back in distance and is a notable threat with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle. Sheikh Raj handles Polytrack and also merits consideration.

Last week's 7f Chelmsford winner Waiting All Night is second choice to SHEIKH RAJ (nap) who should be suited by the return to 1m.

Suited by 6f and acts on the all-weather; looks fairly treated if building on that recent revival. Went close at Nottingham last time; record of 124 on AW; one to consider.
2	2 (2) (9/2 +36%) Valley Ofthe Kings	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(2) Valley Ofthe Kings 9/2, Won a novice at Wolverhampton over 5f by a length last time. Effective from 5-7f on a sound surface and unexposed over sprint trips; could progress now he has his head in front, but a revised mark demands it. Took well to first-time blinkers in novice event most recently; may build on that win.
6	6 (6) (15/2 -25%) Mission Command	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(6) Mission Command 15/2, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 79 over 5f at Redcar last time. Effective over 5-6f and acts on the all-weather; the mark has eased but more will be needed. Frame possibilities, provided recent turf form is transferred to AW.

Effective over 6f and poor in his last three starts, but a return to the all-weather should suit. Record of 4-10 on AW; interesting returned to this sphere off a workable mark.

12	12 (12) (12/1 0%) Lesley's Boy	12 12/1(0%)	(12) Lesley's Boy 12/1, Had too much to do after missing the break when beaten 2l off 72 here last time. Effective over 6f; yet to add to his 2yo wins and remains inconsistent. Made the frame in C&D contest last time and is still unexposed on AW.
7	7 (7) (12/1 +40%) Top Juggler	12 12/1(+40%)	(7) Top Juggler 12/1, Scored by a head off 75 at Carlisle on his penultimate start; outclassed up in grade when 22nd beaten 22l off 80 last time. Suited by 6f and reliable when in his grade, but the mark looks quite tough. Won on debut for new yard and faced a stiffer task later in September.
8	8 (8) (12/1 -100%) Ararat	12 12/1(-100%)	(8) Ararat 12/1, Overcame early keenness to return to form down in grade, landing a handicap by a neck off 74 here last time. Effective over 6-7f and acts on the all-weather; a fair mark if building on that recent revival. Resurgent in C&D event last time, taking record to 4-21; still well treated on peak form.
10	10 (10) (12/1 -50%) Baba Reza	12 12/1(-50%)	(10) Baba Reza 12/1, Back to form down in grade when beaten 1 1/2l off 72 here last time. Effective over 6f and acts on the all-weather; unreliable but fairly treated if able to build on that recent revival. Ran encouragingly over C&D returned to AW last time; possibilities.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -60%) Nazuki	16 16/1(-60%)	(3) Nazuki 16/1, Returned to form but flattened out late up in trip having done plenty early, beaten 2l off 81 over 7f at Doncaster last time; wide draw. Off a short break and suited by 6f on the all-weather; can build on that effort back down in trip. Has form figures of 211 over C&D (novice events); may have more to offer back here.
4	4 (4) (66/1 -230%) Zero Carbon	66 66/1(-230%)	(4) Zero Carbon 66/1, Forced wide at a sharp track and needed the run when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Chester last time. Enjoys making the running and is effective over 6-7f, best on the all-weather; inconsistent but looks well handicapped. Return to AW looks a plus but he seems ideally suited by Kempton.

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

Two-time C&D winner NAZUKI made the frame over 7f at Doncaster in August and was kindly dropped 1lb. The booking of Jamie Spencer is noteworthy and the daughter of Earthlight could put these to the sword. Valley Ofthe Kings shed his maiden tag in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton earlier this month and commands respect back in a handicap. Of the remainder, Hoodie Hoo makes the most appeal after his second at Nottingham.

Back over this C&D, low-mileage filly NAZUKI may be able to record a first handicap win. Ararat is second choice.

Gained his second win at Lingfield over 1m4f nine days ago; steps up to 2m under a penalty.
4	4 (4) (9/4 +44%) Sapphire Sirocco	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(4) Sapphire Sirocco 9/4, Longer trip suited in a slowly run race when second beaten 5l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective from 12f to 16f and could have more to offer as a stayer. 0-9; beaten 5l when second of seven at Lingfield on her first go over this trip.

This can go the way of HOME AND DRY, who returned from an absence to finish a highly creditable third at Lingfield in June. Given another break since, the seven-year-old may be able to regain the winning thread, with Cieren Fallon an eyecatching booking. It may be recent Lingfield scorer Jack Langley who chases him home on the rise in distance, although Sapphire Sirocco was a promising second on her first go over 2m and is another to note.

Jack Langley holds obvious claims despite a 6lb penalty but a chance is taken on WITCH HAZEL bouncing back from her latest effort.

Effective from 10f to 14f on the all-weather and should stay a bit further. Still well treated on maiden and jumps form, unexposed over staying distances.

Effective at 14f on the all-weather though not certain to stay further; needs to build on that effort. His close fourth at Chelmsford is something to build on and cheekpieces are added.

Suited by 12-14f on the all-weather, in fair form and not fully exposed over staying distances. First run over 1m6f when winning at Wolverhampton latest; could be suited by this 2m.

Effective at 2m on the all-weather but looks modest overall and needs to build on that latest effort. Questionable what he achieved when third of five off a steady pace at Newcastle.

SAVVY STELLAR sprang a bit of a surprise when beating the well-fancied Night Tara over track and trip last time, but there didn't seem to be any fluke about the manner of that triumph. He only has a 2lb higher rating to contend with and it would be no surprise to see him go in again. Moab comfortably struck by four lengths over 1m6f here on his most recent outing and is expected to mount a bold bid. Advertorial completes the shortlist.

Although not bred for this far, SAVVY STELLAR (nap) was strong through the line when winning over C&D a month ago.

Drawn wide but effective from 7f to 10f, acts on good and all-weather, and better than the result suggests. Back on good mark and went too hard up front when beaten about 3l at Wolverhampton latest.
3	3 (3) (18/1 -29%) Captain Cess	18 18/1(-29%)	(3) Captain Cess 18/1, Again struggled on soft when finishing down the field in a handicap at Windsor most recently.

Drawn wide but effective at 8f, acts on all-weather, and could build on that latest effort despite a breathing issue. Second run after wind surgery when keeping on to be 3l off Kessaar Power here last week.
12	12 (12) (80/1 -142%) Zaramara	80 80/1(-142%)	(12) Zaramara 80/1, Never beyond midfield when dropped in trip and finished down the field in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton most recently. Trained by a top course handler but remains hard to assess with largely poor form. Hasn't improved for handicaps, beaten between 7l and 11 in all three; opposable.

Stepping back up to a mile could be just what the doctor ordered for CHLOE'S COURAGE after a strong runner-up effort over 7f at Brighton, where she kept on well late in the piece. A determined winner over C&D, for which he has been raised 2lb, Cinderella Man is a key player along with Kessaar Power, who scored over track and trip on his penultimate start. Others to note include Hock Eye The Noo, Monks Mead and Tonal.

Last week's penalised Chelmsford winner KESSAAR POWER may win again here and Monday's run on heavy ground at Bath is best forgotten.

Always A Star rarely runs a bad race and, despite failing to justify favouritism when third here last month, he is one to take seriously. However, LUDO'S LANDING looks the one to side with. Charlie Johnston's five-year-old failed to fire when last of five at Ripon in July, but the softer conditions may have been against him that day. With a previous all-weather success to his name, he gets the vote. Timeless Charm also has a chance.

Although yet to get his head in front, ALWAYS A STAR has been running well in defeat and deserves a break.
