13:06 Newbury (Class 5) 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	12 1st (12) (8/1 +0%) Izakaya	8 8/1(+0%)	(12) Izakaya 8/1, Produced her best effort to date when stepped up in trip on soft ground, landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off 45 over 2m1f at Bath last time; stays 2m1f well, acts on soft, and has more to offer as a stayer. 40-1 win at Bath last month; needs to back that up but she did it comfortably.
2	11 2nd (11) (4/1 -45%) Aighear	4 4/1(-45%)	(11) Aighear 4/1, Improved to win readily when landing a handicap by 4l off 49 over 1m5f at Ayr last time; effective from 12f to 17f and acts on good ground, well suited by heavy or soft going; a mare in flying form at present. Arrives on a hat-trick and this in-form mare could play another leading role.
3	9 3rd (9) (33/1 -175%) Imperial Cult	33 33/1(-175%)	(9) Imperial Cult 33/1, Ran to form in added blinkers when beaten 2 1/4l off 57 over 11f at Kempton last time; trainer in form; effective from 9f to 12f, likes some give, acts on all-weather, and goes well at Epsom; stamina to prove on this ground. 3rd off this reduced mark at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last month; has run well at 2m in the past.
4	10 4th (10) (5/1 +29%) Corsican Caper	5 5/1(+29%)	(10) Corsican Caper 5/1, A bit below form when back up in trip, beaten 6l in a handicap over 2m1f at Bath last time; effective from 12f to 16f and acts on heavy and good to soft ground; needs to bounce back. Losing run continued when below par last time but he was in good heart previously.
5th	1 5th (1) (15/8 +69%) Yellow Star	1.875 15/8(+69%)	(1) Yellow Star 15/8, Needed his first run in nine months when beaten 3l off a mark of 70 at Goodwood last time; effective up to 2m and acts on soft and good ground; entitled to come on for that outing. Novice hurdle winner; not beaten far at Goodwood recently after break; could build on that.
6th	8 6th (8) (16/1 -33%) Arc Zoosve	16 16/1(-33%)	(8) Arc Zoosve 16/1, Below form and had too much to do when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in March; nicely handicapped on his best form but may need this run. On a competitive mark but this ten-race maiden has been off the track since March.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/2 -38%) Trapper John	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(3) Trapper John 11/2, Returned to form over a new, longer trip when beaten 1/2l off 64 over 1m6f at Catterick last time; effective from 12f to 14f and acts on good ground; mark easing and latest effort was promising. Lightly raced 4yo; close second over 1m6f at Catterick last Saturday when keeping on well.
8th	5 8th (5) (66/1 -100%) Lady Chatterley	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Lady Chatterley 66/1, Needed the run on stable debut when well beaten in a handicap over 11f at Kempton last time; off a short break now; effective at 11f and suited by cut; a winner in France but has something to prove for this yard. Won in France in April but tailed off at 50-1 in August on sole run in Britain.
9th	4 9th (4) (20/1 -67%) Capone	20 20/1(-67%)	(4) Capone 20/1, Showed more when back on better ground, beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; effective from 14f to 16f and acts on most ground except testing; ground could be a concern here. On a reduced mark but this 10yo needs to raise his game if he's to snap losing sequence.
10th	2 10th (2) (18/1 -50%) No More Bolero	18 18/1(-50%)	(2) No More Bolero 18/1, Struggled badly on heavy ground when down the field in a handicap over 1m6f at Chester most recently; effective over 2m+ and acts on soft and good ground; formerly useful in Germany and better than he showed last time. Went close at Chester last month but tailed off on heavy ground there eight days later.
11th	7 11th (7) (50/1 -52%) The Craftymaster	50 50/1(-52%)	(7) The Craftymaster 50/1, Probably needed his first run since spring when down the field in a handicap over 1m6f at Southwell most recently; usually held up; effective at 2m on the all-weather but currently out of form. Given chance by handicapper but hard to fancy on the evidence of his last few runs.

Turned out again quickly after a highly promising second over 1m6f at Catterick on Saturday, TRAPPER JOHN shaped as though going further up in trip would bring about more improvement and he is handed that opportunity now. The four-year-old gets the vote ahead of the hat-trick-seeking Aighear, going back up in distance, and Yellow Star, who didn't shape badly on his return to the level at Goodwood. Izakaya is capable of being in the shake-up as well.

The mare AIGHEAR has won in good style at Ayr on her last two starts and is taken to land the hat-trick. Trapper John is feared.

Very promising novice last season; fell on handicap debut; remains of strong interest.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/2 +15%) Navajo Indy	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(7) Navajo Indy 11/2, Ran to form and liked the track when 11l third in the William Hill Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) over 2m at Newbury; returning from a long layoff and probably has a bit more to come now stepped up in trip. Off since staying-on third in major handicap in February but well worth another go at 2m4f.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/2 +50%) Bowensonfire	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(4) Bowensonfire 9/2, Too much to do when 8l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Listowel last time; consistent in top Irish handicaps and may get a bit further than 2m. Collected good prize in July (2m1f) and has remained in good form; unexposed over 2m4f.
4	2 4th (2) (16/1 -78%) Classic King	16 16/1(-78%)	(2) Classic King 16/1, Too much to do but ran to form when well backed, appreciating the longer trip and beaten a length off 131 over 2m5f at Kempton last time. Generally consistent but may just need this. In good form in early part of year but resumes on career-high mark; had summer wind op.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 -87%) Jazzy Matty	14 14/1(-87%)	(5) Jazzy Matty 14/1, Made too much use of up in trip and did not stay when down the field in the Galway Plate (Grade 3) over 2m7f; landed Grand Annual here in spring; off a short break; well treated on chase form; chance. Won Grand Annual Chase here in March; not obviously well handicapped over hurdles.
6th	6 6th (6) (18/1 -50%) Saint Anapolino	18 18/1(-50%)	(6) Saint Anapolino 18/1, Made mistakes and ran below form up in grade, needing easier ground when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Kempton; in good form prior; stiff mark. Made very good progress in early 2025 and may improve again this season.
7th	12 7th (12) (18/1 +0%) Tintintin	18 18/1(+0%)	(12) Tintintin 18/1, Up in trip and probably failed to stay when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time; consistent but stamina concerns. Fourth in two major 2m handicaps last season but, on balance, others appeal more.
8th	19 8th (19) (50/1 -52%) Supreme Yeats	50 50/1(-52%)	(19) Supreme Yeats 50/1, Scored by 1/2l off 106 over 2m7f at Uttoxeter in July; unsuited by the drop in trip but ran to form when fourth beaten 4 1/2l off 110 last time; suited by a sound surface and 3m; consistent. Ran very well at Chepstow this month but upped in grade today and faces a tough task.
9th	16 9th (16) (33/1 -175%) Last Rodeo	33 33/1(-175%)	(16) Last Rodeo 33/1, Travelled well and did it cosily, improving up in trip to win a maiden hurdle at Lingfield by 9l last time; effective at 2-2 1/2m and acts on soft or good to soft; progressive in maidens though opening mark demands more. Won Lingfield maiden by 9l in February; further progress required here.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (4/1 +43%) East India Express	4 4/1(+43%)	(1) East India Express 4/1, Latest form strong, having improved down in grade to land a handicap hurdle by 6l off 129 last time; not disgraced in Martin Pipe previously; potential class edge. Drew clear by 6l here at end of last season and now 4-8 over hurdles; may progress again.
10th	3 10th (3) (28/1 0%) Stoner's Choice	28 28/1(0%)	(3) Stoner's Choice 28/1, Made too much use of and failed to stay when finishing down the field in a Listed handicap hurdle over 3m at Punchestown; bit to find and vulnerable to less exposed rivals. Good second at Kempton in February but younger rivals look better handicapped here.
11th	17 11th (17) (20/1 +0%) Service Minimum	20 20/1(+0%)	(17) Service Minimum 20/1, Too much to do on handicap debut, looking in need of a stiffer test when fourth beaten 29l in a handicap hurdle at Worcester; progressive and may stay a bit further than 2 1/2m. 2-4 over hurdles; ended up with too much to do on handicap debut; still unexposed.
12th	9 12th (9) (14/1 +36%) Minella Missile	14 14/1(+36%)	(9) Minella Missile 14/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time; usually held up and needs to prove ability remains after lay off Out of form at end of last season and has a lot more to prove than some of these.
13th	13 13th (13) (28/1 -12%) Sign Again	28 28/1(-12%)	(13) Sign Again 28/1, Keen and probably failed to stay, needing the run when fourth beaten 39l in a novice hurdle over 2m7f at Bangor-on-Dee last time; good mark on previous win; in the mix. 2-3 as a novice hurdler last season; had summer wind op; interesting on handicap debut.
14th	14 14th (14) (28/1 +15%) Montecam	28 28/1(+15%)	(14) Montecam 28/1, Returned to form down in trip, too much to do after conceding first run when beaten 3l off 115 over 2m5f at Bellewstown last time; off a short break and effective at 2 1/2m; in form and well treated on previous UK runs. Bettered low-key stable debut when second at Bellewstown; might kick on again.
15th	10 15th (10) (100/1 -257%) Prince Imperial	100 100/1(-257%)	(10) Prince Imperial 100/1, Ran to form when 8 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Bangor-on-Dee last time; suited by good ground but the handicapper may be catching up. Did well for Olly Murphy last season but makes stable debut from fairly tough mark.
16th	15 16th (15) (40/1 -60%) American Sniper	40 40/1(-60%)	(15) American Sniper 40/1, Bit below form when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Punchestown last time; plenty of good course form; looks a pick on race times. Ran well at Punchestown festival in April but has very mixed record in recent seasons.
18	18 \|PU\| (18) (12/1 +25%) The Expensive One	12 12/1(+25%)	(18) The Expensive One 12/1, Improved up in trip under a positive ride when winning a handicap by 2 1/4l off 106 over 2m3f at Stratford last time; effective at 2m-2m2f and acts on soft or good; progressing. Made all on recent handicap debut; hiked up in grade but still has potential.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (33/1 -65%) Whatsupwithyou	33 33/1(-65%)	(11) Whatsupwithyou 33/1, Ran to form and was placed in the same race last year when second beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle here latest; trainer in form; consistent but frustrating. Veteran who has often run well at this track and has won under today's 10lb claimer.
20	20 \|PU\| (20) (100/1 -203%) Knight Templar	100 100/1(-203%)	(20) Knight Templar 100/1, Made mistakes, outpaced and below form on handicap debut when well beaten over 2m at Newbury; in good form prior; dual 2m winner on flat and hurdles, acts with cut, may improve over this bit further in this sphere. Absent since well held on handicap debut in January; moves up in trip in a tough race.

This has gone the way of a five-year-old in three of the last five renewals and FRENCH SHIP is fancied to improve that trend. The son of French Navy was well in contention when falling just after the third-last in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow earlier this month and goes off an unchanged rating. East India Express bolted up at this venue when last seen, to make it three wins from his last four starts, and has to be respected. Jazzy Matty and The Expensive One are just two others to consider.

Unlucky to come to grief on his handicap debut, FRENCH SHIP was a very promising novice hurdler last season and gets the nod.

1	8 1st (8) (7/2 +53%) Fine Interview	3.5 7/2(+53%)	(8) Fine Interview 7/2, Ran to his best in added cheekpieces when landing a handicap by a head off 88 at Pontefract last time. Top jockey back on board; effective at 6/7f, likes some give, and has not been tried on fast ground; in form and remains competitive. Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract most recently; enters calculations.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +25%) Korker	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Korker 12/1, Unlucky not to finish second when beaten 3l off 95 at York last time. Trainer in form; effective over 5/6f and acts on any ground; capable of another good run. Remains well treated on peak form but two-year losing spell tempers enthusiasm.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/2 +39%) Sophia's Starlight	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(4) Sophia's Starlight 11/2, Toughed it out well having committed early to land a Fillies' Handicap by 1 1/4l off 90 at Pontefract last time. Enjoys making the running; suited by 6f and likes soft ground; more needed up in the weights. Made all at Pontefract on Monday, confirming that she's suited by soft ground.
4	11 4th (11) (14/1 +0%) Rousing Encore	14 14/1(+0%)	(11) Rousing Encore 14/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off 82 at Ayr on his penultimate start; below best having been hampered last time. Best at 6f and acts on heavy and good to firm ground; better than he could show latest. Back in the difficult zone; gained his two wins this season off 5lb lower.
5th	10 5th (10) (14/1 -155%) Eye Of Dubai	14 14/1(-155%)	(10) Eye Of Dubai 14/1, Appreciated the strong pace when landing a sprint handicap by a neck off 87 at Ripon last time. Suited by 6f, acts on good and soft ground; somewhat erratic and up in the weights now. Won at Ripon last time, building on his Ayr Silver Cup effort; in-form contender.
6th	5 6th (5) (3/1 +86%) Akkadian Thunder	3 3/1(+86%)	(5) Akkadian Thunder 3/1, Travelled well but did not pick up after interference, beaten 5 1/2l in a 7f handicap at Ascot last time. Suited by 7f, acts on good to soft and good to firm ground; inconsistent and needs things to go right. Has a solid record at Doncaster, albeit over longer distances.
7th	6 7th (6) (28/1 -100%) Milford	28 28/1(-100%)	(6) Milford 28/1, Raced in the smallest group and below form when beaten 8l in a handicap at Ayr last time. Effective at 6/7f and acts on any ground; below his best of late. Last two efforts can be forgiven; record of 0-12 since debut win is the downside.
8th	2 8th (2) (9/2 +0%) Jubilee Walk	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(2) Jubilee Walk 9/2, Ran to his best when winning in his group, beaten 1/2l off 93 at Ayr last time.

Ties in with Brosay on penultimate effort; ran well in the Ayr Gold Cup latest; player.
9th	9 9th (9) (18/1 +45%) Tiger Mask	18 18/1(+45%)	(9) Tiger Mask 18/1, Again below form down in trip when beaten 5l in a 7f handicap here last time.

10th	12 10th (12) (25/1 -108%) Mister Sox	25 25/1(-108%)	(12) Mister Sox 25/1, Scored by a head off 77 at Ripon in August; got going too late but ran to form when beaten 3/4l off 79 last time. Effective at 6/7f, acts on good ground but prefers some give; capable of a good run. Ties in with Eye Of Dubai on two pieces of Ripon form this term, including last time.
11th	7 11th (7) (12/1 -9%) Strike Red	12 12/1(-9%)	(7) Strike Red 12/1, Below form on ground a bit lively when beaten 9l in a York handicap last time. Effective over 6/7f and acts on soft and good to firm ground; return to slower conditions may suit. Ran well in the Stewards' Cup; defied a 2lb higher mark last October; not ruled out.
12th	1 12th (1) (12/1 -140%) Brosay	12 12/1(-140%)	(1) Brosay 12/1, Ran to form despite a sluggish start when fourth, beaten 3 1/4l off a mark of 97 last time. Usually held up; effective over 5/6f and acts on any ground; still appears to be progressing. Has form figures of 114 since returned to 6f; beat Jubilee Walk on penultimate start.

Slow starts are included as part of the package with BROSAY, but his talent has been on the rise and he boasts highly persuasive claims. Having shown ground versatility with recent victories at Windsor and Ascot, the son of Tasleet simply gave himself too much to do when fourth back at the later venue three weeks ago. That was still a solid effort and he again is a key player. His old rival Jubilee Walk is feared with cheekpieces added. Strike Red, Eye Of Dubai and Fine Interview also command respect.

After going close in the Ayr Gold Cup, JUBILEE WALK could well regain the winning thread. Brosay is second pick.

1	5 1st (5) (2/1 -14%) Needle Match	2 2/1(-14%)	(5) Needle Match 2/1, 4 Mar; Night Of Thunder colt; dam unraced half-sister to useful 7f winner Moqarrab, out of half-sister to US champion 2yo colt/BC Juvenile winner Uncle Moto; top course jockey; likely to go well for big yard. From a top stable and this Night Of Thunder newcomer could have a big part to play.
2	6 2nd (6) (15/2 -50%) Storming Point	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(6) Storming Point 15/2, 13 Feb; 95,000gns Blue Point colt; half-brother to Vamp, very useful at 6f; dam smart at 8f; probably need the experience. 95,000gns yearling; market check advised on debut but may be one for further down the line.
3	1 3rd (1) (15/8 +53%) Bunyola Bay	1.875 15/8(+53%)	(1) Bunyola Bay 15/8, 17 Mar; 80,000 euros Ghaiyyath colt; half-brother to Lodovico Il Moro, high-class at 10f; dam smart at 8f; top course trainer; yard can get 2yo's ready first-time. Debut; half-brother to nine winners; those who have raced don't set a daunting standard.
4	9 4th (9) (40/1 -21%) Pilgrim's Progress	40 40/1(-21%)	(9) Pilgrim's Progress 40/1, Clueless on debut and well beaten in a novice over 6f at Kempton; top course trainer; wide draw; bred to be effective from 6f to 8f and likely to need more time. Half-sister to four winners but well beaten at 25-1 on last month's debut at Kempton.
5th	3 5th (3) (15/2 +46%) Footstepinthewoods	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(3) Footstepinthewoods 15/2, 25 Mar; Footstepsinthesand gelding; half-brother to Masterinthewoods, useful from 10f to 11f; dam fair at 5f; hood first time; trainer in form. Wears a hood on debut; jumps-oriented trainer is in excellent form, including on the Flat.
6th	8 6th (8) (28/1 +15%) Tiny Riot	28 28/1(+15%)	(8) Tiny Riot 28/1, Under pressure early and well beaten in a maiden over 6f at Pontefract on only start; pedigree a mix of speed and stamina and looks a longer-term prospect. Well-beaten 5th of six at 25-1 on last month's debut at Pontefract; probably best watched.
7th	7 7th (7) (28/1 +15%) Sun Of Dolly	28 28/1(+15%)	(7) Sun Of Dolly 28/1, 31 Mar; Twilight Son gelding; half-brother to Dreambird Dolly, useful at 5f; dam very smart at 5f; probably best watched on debut. Dam 5f/6f winner for yard (including 2yo debut; RPR 102); may need this outing.
8th	4 8th (4) (13/2 -30%) Mertoun	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(4) Mertoun 13/2, Modest debut when beaten 8 1/4l in a novice at Salisbury; wide draw; bred to be suited by around 7f; well fancied on debut and could progress. Well beaten on debut but sent off favourite; evidently thought to be capable of better.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

PILGRIM'S PROGRESS never gave herself any chance on debut at Kempton when slowly away and hanging left, but Richard Hannon's two-year-olds often improve for a run and this well-bred daughter of Showcasing could be a different proposition on the turf. Of the newcomers, Needle Match stands out for the in-form William Haggas team, as does Bunyola Bay, a stablemate of the selection who is partnered by stable jockey Sean Levey.

Preference is for the newcomer NEEDLE MATCH from the powerful William Haggas stable. Mertoun is second choice.

1	4 1st (4) (9/4 +63%) Alnilam	2.25 9/4(+63%)	(4) Alnilam 9/4, Jumped well and ran to his best on chase debut when winning a beginners' chase at Uttoxeter by 3 1/2l last time. Trainer in form; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Consistent performer over hurdles last term. Strong claims. Morebattle Hurdle runner-up who made winning chase debut and he's one to consider.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -85%) Relieved Of Duties	12 12/1(-85%)	(5) Relieved Of Duties 12/1, Jumped boldly and ran to his best on chase debut when winning a beginners' chase at Fairyhouse over 2m1f by 1 1/2l last time. Effective at 2m, acts on soft and good ground, with more to come over fences; point form suggests he'll stay further. Won on recent chase debut; others have stronger form but he could have more to offer.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/4 +10%) Country Mile	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(6) Country Mile 9/4, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. Returned to form down in grade after a break on chase debut when second, beaten 3 1/2l in a beginners' chase at Uttoxeter. Effective at 2m, with more to come over fences, likely over further but this stiff track will suit. Course novice hurdle winner who could built upon his chase debut second behind Alnilam.
4	3 4th (3) (10/1 -11%) Addragoole	10 10/1(-11%)	(3) Addragoole 10/1, The yard has won the last two runnings of this race. Ran to form, aided by a late faller, when landing a beginners' chase at Sligo over 2m2f by 2l last time. Shows best form with cut and is progressing over fences. Something to find but top Irish trainer has won the last two runnings; worth a second look.
5th	7 5th (7) (17/2 +29%) Cloonainra	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(7) Cloonainra 17/2, Improved on chase debut when winning a novice chase at Listowel over 2m3f by 3l last time. A progressive hurdler last term at 2–2 1/2m and looks likely to progress further over fences. 1-1 over fences; open to further improvement in this sphere but it's needed against males.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (18/5 -31%) King Of Kingsfield	3.6 18/5(-31%)	(2) King Of Kingsfield 18/5, Ran to form when outclassing rivals to win the BetVictor Novice Chase (Grade 3) at Punchestown over 2m2f by 2 1/2l last time. Effective at 2m and generally consistent; sets standard but battling qualities a worry. Won Grade 3 novice at Punchestown last week and he's a key player today.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (28/1 -100%) Centara	28 28/1(-100%)	(1) Centara 28/1, Ran to form when suited by a positive ride at a favoured venue, winning a handicap chase at Newton Abbot by 4l last time. Progressive at 2m on good ground, but a revised mark or rise in grade will demand more again. Five handicap chase wins since May; further improvement is possible but necessary today.

Alnilam beat Country Mile by over three lengths on his chasing bow at Uttoxeter, making every yard of the running, and Olly Murphy's charge can confirm that form to go close. However, KING OF KINGSFIELD struck in Grade 3 company at Punchestown on his most recent start and sets the standard. Gordon Elliott's seven-year-old has finished in the places at the top level over the smaller obstacles and could be a class above.

Course novice hurdle winner COUNTRY MILE earns the vote on his second chase start with improvement anticipated.

1	8 1st (8) (5/1 -11%) Our Lucky Lady	5 5/1(-11%)	(8) Our Lucky Lady 5/1, Pulled her way to the front and did a bit too much too soon but produced a very promising debut at big odds when 5l third in a 2m maiden hurdle at Thurles. Effective at 2m, acts on good ground, and can improve if settling. Plenty of hurdles debut promise at Thurles; big player if settling better.
2	7 2nd (7) (8/11 +64%) Mahon Falls	0.727273 8/11(+64%)	(7) Mahon Falls 8/11, Ran to form when beaten 9l in a 4yo bumper over 2m at Listowel last time. Effective at 2m and may stay a bit further in time, with more to come over hurdles. Debut promise in Wexford bumper, no improvement at Listowel; hurdles may improve her.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 -50%) Likealightswitch	6 6/1(-50%)	(5) Likealightswitch 6/1, Improved markedly from her debut when finishing 3 1/4l third in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Gowran Park last time. Effective at 2m, handles give in the ground, and is progressing. Much improved Gowran third on soft though did tend to jump right.
4	4 4th (4) (100/1 -100%) Grennanstown Lady	100 100/1(-100%)	(4) Grennanstown Lady 100/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Downpatrick last time. The trainer is in form. Effective at 2m but plenty more needed and looks one for handicaps. No show when beaten 25l in maidens at Roscommon and Downpatrick; much more needed.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +9%) Looks Matter	5 5/1(+9%)	(6) Looks Matter 5/1, Produced a promising bumper debut when second, beaten a head, in a 2m bumper at Hexham last time. Returning from a break. Effective at 2m and will stay further over hurdles; her debut bumper form has been franked. Touched off in Hexham bumper; possible contender on hurdles debut.
6th	1 6th (1) (100/1 +0%) Poyraz Approach	100 100/1(+0%)	(1) Poyraz Approach 100/1, Ran to form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Punchestown last time. Effective from 8f to 10f and suited by plenty of cut. A German Flat winner who has yet to fire over hurdles. Flat winner in Germany; impossible to fancy on the evidence of her three runs over hurdles.
7th	3 7th (3) (8/1 -14%) Crystabel	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) Crystabel 8/1, Fell in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Killarney last time after a break. Should come on significantly for that debut effort and can do much better if settling, judged on her UK bumper form. More encouraging signs until faller at the last at Killarney; not one to rule out.
8th	2 8th (2) (125/1 -213%) Certosa	125 125/1(-213%)	(2) Certosa 125/1, Made a modest bumper debut when well beaten in a mares' bumper over 2m at Tipperary on her only start. Likely to want further than 2m over hurdles. Never figured on debut in Tipperary bumper earlier this month; switches to hurdles.
9th	9 9th (9) (150/1 -50%) Rhythm Of Choice	150 150/1(-50%)	(9) Rhythm Of Choice 150/1, Made mistakes and continued in poor form when finishing down the field in a 2m maiden hurdle at Thurles last time. Showed minor promise at 3m in points and may need further than 2m over hurdles. Two maiden hurdle efforts poor; lots to find with Our Lucky Lady on recent Thurles run.

MAHON FALLS has shown promise on both bumper starts and gets the vote to open her account on her hurdling debut. The daughter of Buck's Boum beat all bar favourite Beir Bua at Wexford before finishing a creditable sixth at the Listowel Festival. Our Lucky Lady was a low-grade handicapper on the Flat but gave encouragement when switched to hurdles at Thurles last week, finishing third to the odds-on Run For Mahler. Likealightswitch was also placed over timber at Gowran last time, while Crystabel and That's So True are others to consider.

A good third despite adversity on recent hurdles debut, OUR LUCKY LADY could prove the one to beat

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

Arbaawy has obvious claims and should be capable of exploiting any weakness shown by his less-expreinced opponents. However, there is a lot to like about the profile of INFRAAD, who is closely related to the Group 1 winner Nezwaah. Starting out over a mile shouldn't be an issue for William Haggas' newcomer, who is suggested as the first one to consider. Affettuoso and Golden Story are other well-bred colts to keep a close eye on in the betting.

The two runners with experience are taking on newcomers who could prove above average. AFFETTUOSO is particularly interesting.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

Ralph Beckett is entitled to have high hopes for SHIPBOURNE, who is bred in the purple as a son of Frankel out of dual 1000 Guineas winner Special Duty. He may want further in time, but this looks like a good starting point and fellow newcomer Euston Hall may be best placed to chase him home. The son of Dark Angel is related to a first-time-out winner, with Galba another to note for the Richard Hannon outfit.

Frankel colt SHIPBOURNE is out of 1,000 Guineas winner Special Duty and Ralph Beckett's contender is taken to make a winning start.

Returned to form, benefitting from a reappearance when 7l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Newton Abbot most recently. Strong traveller has had wind op and should get race run to suit here. Won valuable series final in March but needs recent wind op to help her kick on again.
2	13 2nd (13) (20/1 +20%) Prince Quattro	20 20/1(+20%)	(13) Prince Quattro 20/1, Improved but looked in need of a stiffer test when fourth, beaten 8l in a novice over 10f at Bath last time. Effective at 2m; a progressive hurdler who looks suited to long-distance Flat handicaps. Bit more needed on hurdles return though. Won twice in early part of this season but may find this too competitive.

Well backed, keen and ran to form when 4 1/4l third in a novice hurdle at Chepstow most recently. Bit more to come judged on French form. Very unexposed 4yo who comfortably won a maiden on his British debut; handicap debut today.

Improved when needing every yard down in trip to land a handicap by 1/2l off 107 over 2m1f at Galway last time. Progressive at 2m, likely to get 2 1/2m, acts on yielding and good ground. Bids for hat-trick after wins at Sligo and Galway; this race looks stronger.

Rubber Ball progressed in each of his first five starts under Rules before finding Grade 1 company too big an ask at Aintree in April. He now makes his handicap debut and needs considering, but the vote goes to KING WILLIAM RUFUS. The eight-year-old was successful in this grade here when last seen and returns off just a 4lb higher rating. If he is ready to go, he could prove hard to beat. The hat-trick seeking Torquay Road and Cavern Club aren't ruled out either.

Another chance can be given to ZAOCHEN ENKI, who created a good impression in March on his British debut and remains very unexposed.

SIXANDAHALF is a useful staying handicapper on the Flat with a rating in the 90s and made a successful switch to hurdles earlier this year when easily winning a Fairyhouse maiden. She subsequently went close in the Grade 2 Ryanair Mares' Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and should benefit from a recent run on the level in the Irish Cesarewitch. Colonel Mustard doesn't win very often but has built up a consistent record over hurdles, with many placed efforts at big Festival meetings. Wendrock was highly tried last season after winning a maiden at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting, including when third last time in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse.

Though not at her best when last seen over hurdles or on the Flat twice since, SIXANDAHALF still makes most appeal.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

Those with experience look beatable and it may pay to focus on the newcomers. HARPER VIOLET, who is from the same family as the high-class Inisherin, is suggested as the most appealing option. However, Hollywell Stream, whose price rose from 95,000gns as a foal to 280,000gns as a yearling, is another must for a betting check. The stable companions, Lilt and Venetian Sky, help William Haggas play an intriguing hand.

Poets Praise and Florida Suite are likely to improve, while HARPER VIOLET and Lilt are particularly interesting debutantes.

Mawood has proved a different proposition since being switched to handicaps and merits respect in his bid to complete a hat-trick. Harry Eustace's charge is only 3lb higher than for his determined victory at Nottingham earlier this month, but FOURONEOHFEVER may prove to be slightly better handicapped. The four-year-old landed the spoils at Catterick in ready fashion and is 3lb well-in on this quick turnaround. Midnight Rumble and Macari are other key players.

Effectiveness in the mud may well be what wins the day and MILLER SPIRIT, winner of this race last year, fits that bill perfectly.

1	2 1st (2) (14/1 -522%) Fortune De Mer	14 14/1(-522%)	(2) Fortune De Mer 14/1, Needed the run and looked in need of a stiffer test when 5l third in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; hood on for the first time; effective at 2m on good to soft or soft ground and should be suited by this stiffer track. Often travels well but doesn't always find for pressure, as on recent hurdling debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/1 +61%) Doctor Blue	11 11/1(+61%)	(1) Doctor Blue 11/1, Benefited from a drop in class, finishing 2 1/4l third in a bumper at Chepstow last time; progressive at 2m in bumpers and has more to offer over hurdles. Others in here have superior bumper form but he's a likely improver over hurdles.
3	10 3rd (10) (18/1 +45%) Jaminska	18 18/1(+45%)	(10) Jaminska 18/1, Improved when suited by a positive ride, winning a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot over 2m1f by 2 1/2l last time; effective at 2m on soft or good ground and back in form. Quite exposed now after 14 races over hurdles and would be a surprise winner.
4	6 4th (6) (6/1 +67%) The Last Cloud	6 6/1(+67%)	(6) The Last Cloud 6/1, Did it readily and improved again at a favoured venue on handicap debut when winning a handicap hurdle at Perth by 2l last time; progressive over 2m on a sound surface but rise in grade demands more. Three wins on good ground at Perth; in deeper here and softer ground could hinder.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 +44%) Jack Hyde	5 5/1(+44%)	(3) Jack Hyde 5/1, Bit keen but ran to form when comfortably held in the Persian War Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) over 2m3f at Chepstow last time; in good form beforehand; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on soft or good ground and may have reached his level. Talented gelding who pulled too hard in the recent Persian War; raw ability respected.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/2 +45%) Sir Galahad	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(8) Sir Galahad 11/2, Ran to form when second, beaten a length in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Market Rasen last time; trainer in good form; consistent on a sound surface and likely to appreciate a stiff track or slightly further. He's 4-6 over hurdles and the defeats have come in Class 2 handicaps at Market Rasen.
7th	7 7th (7) (5/2 -43%) Un Sens A La Vie	2.5 5/2(-43%)	(7) Un Sens A La Vie 5/2, Quickened clear cosily for a very impressive debut when winning a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen over 2m1f by 7 1/2l last time; effective at 2m; more to come over hurdles, a point winner who will stay further and looks useful. Bumper/maiden hurdle wins at Market Rasen, both easily; seems held in high regard.
8th	5 8th (5) (28/1 -27%) Mr Mcloughlan	28 28/1(-27%)	(5) Mr Mcloughlan 28/1, Improved to defy a penalty when winning a novice hurdle at Stratford by 4l last time; effective at 2m on good to soft or good ground; quirky but showing plenty of ability and progressing. Ready winner of two minor races; whether he's up to this level is questionable.
9th	12 9th (12) (6/1 +57%) Run For Mahler	6 6/1(+57%)	(12) Run For Mahler 6/1, Ran to debut form when winning a maiden hurdle at Thurles by a neck last time; effective from 2m to 2 1/4m on good ground; consistent and previously beaten by a Graded bumper winner; stiff track should suit and remains a big player with more to come. Faces her toughest test to date but brings momentum after good efforts in Ireland.
11	11 \|F\| (11) (18/1 +36%) Paul's Dream	18 18/1(+36%)	(11) Paul's Dream 18/1, Improved again for a cosy win when landing a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse by 3 1/2l last time; progressive at 2m on yielding or good ground and may stay a bit further. Improving Irish mare who won a handicap last time; this demands another career best.
10th	4 10th (4) (33/1 -106%) Jackson Lamb	33 33/1(-106%)	(4) Jackson Lamb 33/1, Ran to form to defy a penalty, having the run of the race from the front when winning a novice hurdle at Kelso over 2m5f by a head last time; enjoys making the running and is effective from 2m2f to 2m6f on good ground; a bumper winner progressing over hurdles. Improving but he's up in grade and down in trip; seems to need good ground.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (200/1 -150%) Gower Spirit	200 200/1(-150%)	(9) Gower Spirit 200/1, Outpaced but showed some improvement from debut when 18l third in a bumper at Hereford last time; effective at 2m and may stay a bit further; acts on good ground though showed little in bumpers. Insufficient promise in two bumpers for Henrietta Knight to expect much at this level.

The Twiston-Davies team enjoyed plenty of success in the El Rincon colours last term and they could have another smart novice on their hands in the shape of UN SENS A LA VIE. An impressive winner on his hurdles bow at Market Rasen, he is likely to have plenty more to come and is narrowly preferred to Fortune De Mer, a Listed bumper winner here who is bound to improve for his placed effort at Uttoxeter. Four from six in this sphere and not beaten far on his return at Market Rasen, Sir Galahad completes the shortlist with Irish raider Jackson Lamb.

If there's a really smart one on show here it could be UN SENS A LA VIE who has looked good in both his runs under rules.

Info	Form	Odds
1	11 1st (11) (6/1 +40%) You Make Me Smile	6 6/1(+40%)	(11) You Make Me Smile 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 42 over 12f at Bellewstown last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 2m on good ground but inconsistent in both codes, though arrives in form. Good effort on Flat last time; placed off this mark previously at Downpatrick.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/2 +0%) Jaadil	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(3) Jaadil 5/2, Quickened clear to win a handicap by 8 1/2l off 83 over 2m3f at Cork last time. Improved under a positive ride dropped in trip and remains in good form at 2–3m. All-the-way Cork winner up 10lb but 4yo could still have more improvement in her.
3	5 3rd (5) (25/1 -233%) Lilac Lady	25 25/1(-233%)	(5) Lilac Lady 25/1, Below form when down the field in a 1m5f flat handicap here last time, but had been in good form before. Off a short break; effective at 2m on good ground and consistent in maidens. Opening mark may prove lenient. C&D maiden third has okay mark for handicap debut, could go well.
4	14 4th (14) (33/1 +0%) Wild Wild Wind	33 33/1(+0%)	(14) Wild Wild Wind 33/1, Continued in poor form when well beaten in a 2m Gowran Park maiden hurdle last time. Has shown nothing in hurdles or a bumper. Three maiden runs uneventful; probably best watched on handicap debut.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/2 +63%) Bowgate Street	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(6) Bowgate Street 9/2, Won this race last year and ran to form when beaten 9l in a 2m Thurles handicap hurdle last time after having too much to do. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and handles soft and good ground. Last year's winner now 2lb lower; penultimate Galway third gives her claims.
6th	12 6th (12) (20/1 +39%) Stormy Jenn	20 20/1(+39%)	(12) Stormy Jenn 20/1, Had no obvious excuse when well beaten in a 2m Roscommon handicap hurdle last time. Effective at 2m, handles soft and good ground, but inconsistent. Better Flat performer; more needed but don't rule out.
7th	8 7th (8) (25/1 -79%) Might Be The One	25 25/1(-79%)	(8) Might Be The One 25/1, Improved but never threatened when well beaten in a 2m1f Galway maiden hurdle last time. Poor under rules at 2m, though point form suggests longer trips will suit. Maiden hurdle form so far uninspiring but 4yo a potential improver now entering handicaps.
8th	4 8th (4) (16/1 -167%) Romella	16 16/1(-167%)	(4) Romella 16/1, Returned to form back over hurdles when aided by a late faller to land a 2m Tipperary handicap by 10l off 85. Effective at 2m on good ground though inconsistent. Up 7lb for recent Tipperary win but still some way off her career-high so obvious respect.
9th	9 9th (9) (28/1 -40%) Doyen Og	28 28/1(-40%)	(9) Doyen Og 28/1, Made mistakes and ran below form when fourth, beaten 23l in a 2m Tipperary handicap hurdle last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time; effective at 2m but yet to convince with stamina for further and inconsistent. Bellewstown run promising but lots to find with Romella on Tipperary run; cheekpieces on.
10th	7 10th (7) (40/1 -371%) Amburana	40 40/1(-371%)	(7) Amburana 40/1, Improved slightly down in grade when comfortably held in a 2m1f Killarney maiden hurdle last time. Effective at 2m and may need further in time, though her opening mark demands more. Killarney run bit more encouraging but not an obvious one on handicap debut.
11th	2 11th (2) (11/1 -10%) Andyourbirdcansing	11 11/1(-10%)	(2) Andyourbirdcansing 11/1, Disappointed on her hurdles return when comfortably held in a 2m handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time. Effective at 2m, handles soft and good ground, and likes to dominate. Front-runner goes well here so not one to rule out.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (7/1 +56%) Shing Shilla	7 7/1(+56%)	(13) Shing Shilla 7/1, Ran to form when just about seeing out the longer trip, beaten 7l in a 2m4f Gowran Park handicap hurdle last time. Effective at 2m. C&D third in August off this mark, needs to get back to that level.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (9/2 +31%) Shannon Bank	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(1) Shannon Bank 9/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Killarney last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time and looks effective from 2m to 2 1/2m. In form. Career-best second at Killarney recently; cheekpieces added.

JAADIL opened her account when making all for a decisive victory at Cork and may follow up, despite a 10lb hike in the ratings. The form of that 17-runner event received a boost when the third won at Limerick last weekend. Shannon Bank beat all bar Rock Ya Boy Ya at Killarney earlier this month and is now fitted with cheekpieces, while Romella is another to consider after being left in front at the penultimate flight when scoring in fine style at Tipperary. Lilac Lady was placed in a maiden hurdle here this summer, and You Make Me Smile is another to note having been placed on her latest two starts under both codes.

The 4yo JAADIL could be still a step ahead of the handicapper despite a 10lb rise for a thumping recent Cork win, form franked since

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (5/2 +38%) Rogue Diplomat	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(9) Rogue Diplomat 5/2, Improved again, picking up well off the pace to land a handicap by 3/4l off 89 last time. Best at 7f and acts on good to soft and good to firm ground, though faces testing conditions now. Won at Doncaster last time, taking record over 7f to 4-5; strong contender.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/2 -13%) Midnight Gun	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(3) Midnight Gun 9/2, Had a wide trip and likely needed the run when beaten 8l in a handicap over 8f at Haydock. Previously in good form and now wears cheekpieces for the first time. Suited by 8f and acts on soft and good to firm ground. Lightly raced; shapes as if drop back to 7f is worth exploring; possibilities.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/1 +17%) Khafiz	10 10/1(+17%)	(5) Khafiz 10/1, Too keen and perhaps unsuited by soft ground when beaten 8l in a handicap over 8f at Ayr. Effective from 7-8f on good ground and the all-weather, though his mark still appears stiff. 2-2 over 7f and wearing a hood; interesting back in same scenario.
4	4 4th (4) (16/1 +20%) Rhoscolyn	16 16/1(+20%)	(4) Rhoscolyn 16/1, Scored by a length off 96 over 8f at Goodwood in August. Made no impact on ground that was too lively last time. Effective from 7-8f and handles heavy and good ground, so the return to testing conditions could help. Ideal locations are Goodwood and Epsom; opposed at this venue.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/2 +45%) Mirabeau	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(6) Mirabeau 11/2, Made too much use of the running when beaten 5l in a handicap at Ascot last time. Now wears a hood for the first time. Effective from 7-10f and acts on heavy and good ground, with scope to bounce back. Has bits of useful form; fighting chance if aided by first-time hood.
6th	2 6th (2) (11/2 +8%) Grey's Monument	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(2) Grey's Monument 11/2, Improved when well placed to finish fourth, beaten 3l, in the Listed Guisborough Stakes at Redcar. Suited by 7f, stays 1m and likes plenty of give in the ground. Considered now back in handicap company. Resurgent last time; on a workable mark and Jack Dace takes off bonus 5lb.
7th	8 7th (8) (6/1 -20%) First Ambition	6 6/1(-20%)	(8) First Ambition 6/1, Too keen but still ran to form on handicap debut when second, beaten 4 1/2l, over 8f at Haydock. Trainer in form. Effective at 7-8f and acts on good to soft and all-weather surfaces, though now faces testing ground. Form figures read 112; good effort last time and may improve further.
8th	10 8th (10) (18/1 +28%) Gweedore	18 18/1(+28%)	(10) Gweedore 18/1, Below form after sitting close to the pace when beaten 6 1/2l in a 6f handicap at York. Effective from 7-8f and acts on soft and good ground, so a return to suitable conditions could help him bounce back. Not the force of old and hasn't won for over two years.
9th	11 9th (11) (33/1 -18%) Our Havana	33 33/1(-18%)	(11) Our Havana 33/1, Below his best after racing in a small group when beaten 5l in a handicap at Newmarket. Effective at 7f and acts on heavy, good, and all-weather surfaces, with testing ground likely to suit better. Useful wins in the spring but not in quite the same form since.
10th	1 10th (1) (17/2 +15%) Balmacara	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(1) Balmacara 17/2, Made too much use of the running and finished below form down the field in a handicap at Ascot last time. Effective from 8-10f and handles soft and good to firm ground, but his current mark looks high. Form of penultimate effort reads well; 2-2 over C&D; interesting back here.

Having completed a hat-trick over C&D last month, Rogue Diplomat demands respect given his progressive profile. A further 3lb rise for James Owen's colt looks workable and another bold bid is forecast, but FIRST AMBITION could be open to more improvement. The lightly-raced four-year-old arrives on the back of a solid second on his handicap bow at Haydock and, off an unchanged mark, a repeat performance may prove sufficient. The down-in-distance Midnight Gun is worth a second look too.

Being very progressive over 7f, ROGUE DIPLOMAT holds particularly strong claims. Balmacara is second choice.

1	7 1st (7) (6/5 +31%) Day Of Grace	1.2 6/5(+31%)	(7) Day Of Grace 6/5, From a yard that has won three of the last nine runnings. Big improver up in trip, winning a Goodwood handicap by 3 1/2l off 74 last time. Has a top course jockey booked and is effective from 8–10f on soft and good ground. Fast-improving filly with a major chance. Impressive wins on last two starts; stays 1m2f and acts on soft; fine chance with penalty.
2	6 2nd (6) (33/1 -32%) Regal Charm	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) Regal Charm 33/1, Below form and appeared uncomfortable on the track when down the field in the Rosemary Stakes (Listed) over 8f at Newmarket last time. Had been in good form prior. Effective from 8–10f and acts on good to firm ground. A big filly with more to offer. Won a Newmarket novice and ran in a Listed race; a relatively unexposed handicap newcomer.
3	12 3rd (12) (11/1 +21%) Pink Lily	11 11/1(+21%)	(12) Pink Lily 11/1, Ran to form back on better ground when second, beaten 3 1/2l off 72 last time. From a top course trainer. Effective from 8–10f and acts on any ground. A contender if able to reproduce that latest effort. No win on worse than good ground but a respectable 3rd on heavy at this meeting in 2024.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 -43%) Princess Rascal	5 5/1(-43%)	(2) Princess Rascal 5/1, Improved when dropped in trip, landing a Premier Fillies' Handicap by 2 1/4l off 81 at Newmarket last time. Effective up to 10f and handles soft and good to firm ground. A progressive filly who warrants respect. Won two from five, including latest; 2nd on her only run on soft; could have more to offer.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 -17%) Aeolian	14 14/1(-17%)	(3) Aeolian 14/1, From a yard that has won three of the last nine renewals. Again below form despite slower ground, beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Ayr last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 10f and acts on good ground; testing conditions would be new to her. Well beaten in 1m4f Listed race; last of six at 5-4 on handicap debut (1m2f, good to soft).
6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 -120%) Gloryous	22 22/1(-120%)	(4) Gloryous 22/1, Improved despite suffering interference when second, beaten a head off 82 last time. Suited by 10f and handles good to soft and good to firm ground, though more testing conditions could pose a concern. Made all twice in July; close last time; both runs on soft/heavy (2024) were offputting.
7th	13 7th (13) (28/1 -75%) Mandana	28 28/1(-75%)	(13) Mandana 28/1, Below form from a wide draw without the hood, beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Had been in good form before that. Effective from 8–10f and acts on good to firm ground. Needs to prove herself if conditions become testing. Second in three turf handicaps but this race may be too hot; unraced on softer than good.
8th	9 8th (9) (28/1 +15%) Big Bear Hug	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) Big Bear Hug 28/1, Beaten before stamina could become an issue when down the field in a 1m6f handicap at Goodwood last time. Effective from 10–12f and acts on good ground, suited by a bit of give. Fairly treated if returning to form. Second in this last year on heavy; won on stable debut in June but fortunes have faded.
9th	8 9th (8) (22/1 -10%) Kimeko Glory	22 22/1(-10%)	(8) Kimeko Glory 22/1, Won by 4l off 72 at Sandown on her penultimate start but was below form on softer ground last time. Suited by 10f and a sound surface. Needs to prove herself again, particularly regarding ground conditions. Won three handicaps in 2025; form dipped, however, when she ran on good to soft last time.
10th	11 10th (11) (12/1 -50%) Concert Party	12 12/1(-50%)	(11) Concert Party 12/1, Ran to form when landing a handicap by a neck off 72 at Bath last time. Trained by a handler with a strong record at this course. Effective at 10f and acts on soft and good to soft ground. A progressive filly who can go well again. 1m2f wins on soft and good to soft on last two outings; lightly raced 3yo who is improving.
11th	1 11th (1) (11/1 -10%) Roarin' Success	11 11/1(-10%)	(1) Roarin' Success 11/1, Sweated heavily and ran poorly on fast ground down the field in a York handicap last time. Had been in good form previously and, after a short break, should be suited by 9/10f on easier going. Can boil over but is generally consistent. Fast ground may not have suited on latest start; also a big question mark on soft or heavy.
12th	10 12th (10) (9/2 +44%) Majaz	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(10) Majaz 9/2, Ran to form on easier ground when second, beaten a neck, in a maiden at Leicester latest. Effective from 8–10f and handles good to soft, good and all-weather surfaces. Consistent performer though deeper ground would be unfamiliar. Runner-up in all five runs this year; needs to find a bit extra on this handicap debut.

Having found further improvement on the step up in distance at Goodwood, DAY OF GRACE makes grand appeal in her bid to complete a three-timer. William Haggas' filly scored with plenty in the tank and a 6lb penalty is unlikely to halt her progression. Princess Rascal was well found in the market when landing a class 2 event at Newmarket and is feared most, ahead of another hat-trick seeker in Concert Party.

Under a penalty, DAY OF GRACE (nap) looks best treated on recent form and can complete her hat-trick. Concert Party is second pick.

1	5 1st (5) (5/1 -50%) Calico	5 5/1(-50%)	(5) Calico 5/1, Won this race last year. Ran to form when second, beaten 4 1/2l, in the Red Rum Handicap Chase at Aintree last time, appreciating the drying ground. Consistent sort is vulnerable to improver. Last year's winner who is on a reasonable mark but wouldn't appreciate softening ground.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/4 +44%) Jasko Des Dames	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(7) Jasko Des Dames 9/4, Returned to form down in grade when beaten 2 1/4l off 129 over 2m2f at Listowel last time, doing best of those up with the pace. Effective over 2m and should come on for that run. Fifth in last season's Grand Annual when a novice; comeback run was encouraging.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 -8%) Brookie	7 7/1(-8%)	(3) Brookie 7/1, Won a Handicap Chase by 1 1/4l off 130 at Doncaster three runs back. Ran to form when fourth in the Barberstown Castle Novice Chase (Grade 1) at Punchestown latest; won fresh last year; could be well treated back in a handicap. High in the weights, some 19lb higher than for his Doncaster win three starts back.
4	8 4th (8) (15/2 +25%) Traprain Law	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(8) Traprain Law 15/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 7l, in a 2m1f handicap chase at Kelso last time by a race-fit rival. Trainer in good form. Likes to go forward and is effective at 2m on any ground so not dismissed. 7th in last season's Grand Annual; recent Kelso second could give him a fitness edge.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/1 -14%) Unexpected Party	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Unexpected Party 16/1, From a yard that won this last year. Had every chance but was comfortably held when running to form in the Celebration Chase (Grade 1) over 1m7f at Sandown last time. Consistent performer who had been in good form prior. Good course form and not to be underestimated with a 7lb claimer employed.
6th	9 6th (9) (40/1 -43%) Dr T J Eckleburg	40 40/1(-43%)	(9) Dr T J Eckleburg 40/1, Finished down the field in the Swinton Handicap Hurdle at Haydock last time. Better over fences and prefers easier ground. Usually held up; has a bit to find on these terms. Being 5lb out of the weights is far from ideal, while record fresh is also a concern.
7th	1 7th (1) (11/4 +39%) Matata	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(1) Matata 11/4, Won the Fitzdares Great Park Handicap Chase by 10l off 155 at Windsor three starts ago. Finished third in the Melling Chase (Grade 1) at Aintree last time. Usually goes off quickly and likes to make the running; has a chance if settling. Much improved since narrowly denied in this last year; likely to go from the front.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (14/1 +0%) Third Time Lucki	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Third Time Lucki 14/1, Outpaced before rallying to win a Handicap Chase by 4 1/4l off 133 at Uttoxeter last time, aided by the leaders racing early. Now up 4lb but remains well treated on old form after a break. Won his last two but returns to far classier company here and may be found wanting.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (40/1 -186%) Uncle Phil	40 40/1(-186%)	(4) Uncle Phil 40/1, Ran below form when well beaten in the EasyFix Equine Handicap Chase (Listed) over 2m1f at Fairyhouse last time, racing keenly on return from a long layoff. Likes to go forward in his races; fair mark on Irish form. Three chase wins for Willie Mullins, whom he left for 14,000gns; out for 11 months.

The value may lie with BROOKIE, who took his form to a new level when runner-up in the Maghull Novices' Chase at Aintree before ending his season with a respectable fourth at the Punchestown Festival. The last time he tackled a handicap, Anthony Honeyball's charge scored comfortably at Doncaster and, despite being 19lb higher, he can get back to winning ways. Calico had Matata narrowly behind when landing this contest last year and he should be able to uphold that form in receipt of 18lb from the top-weight. Jasko Des Dames will need to improve on the jumping front, but he showed up well when second on his return at Listowel.

Last year's second MATATA (nap) should make a bold bid from the front and this mark is not beyond him. Jasko Des Dames is next best.

ARE YOU AROUND has indicated some ability in two bumper starts and may have been found a good opportunity on her hurdling bow. The Willie Mullins-trained filly was placed behind Fraher Field on debut at Wexford in August and David Doyle is a good booking. Luck Between Us made a pleasing start over hurdles at Roscommon in July and was only headed on the run-in when runner-up to Lord Ffrench here the following month. Insouciant Dallier has been lightly raced and generally disappointing since his second to Will Do in a maiden hurdle here two years ago.

A weak enough mares maiden in which ARE YOU AROUND may be good enough at the first time of asking over timber

The unbeaten Rising Power scored a shade cosily at Sandown in June and there could be more to come on his nursery bow. However, an official rating of 90 does look steep on the bare form and it may be worth chancing the down-in-trip GWEN JOHN. The daughter of Kodiac looked a shade too keen when fifth at Newmarket over 7f and a race of this nature looks within her compass. Go Vince Go is the pick of the remainder.

Godolphin colt RISING POWER is 2-2 and is taken to maintain his unbeaten record now upped to 6f on his nursery debut, following a break.

Course winner Electrical is likely to prove far more competitive than he did in the Flying Scotsman and should put his experience to good use. However, there are some intriguing newcomers on show, with QARREEB topping the bill. Ed Walker's colt is a half-brother to 2023 Coronation Stakes third Sounds Of Heaven and he will take all the beating if possessing anywhere near that level of ability. 200,000gns purchase Oathbound also stands out on paper and requires a check in the betting.

William Haggas saddles two interesting newcomers in King Of Earth and OATHBOUND, with the last-named the selection.

Arch Empire struggled in Grade 3 company at Tipperary last time, but the Irish raider would have a big chance on the pick of his form. Don Virginia is another with strong claims following his facile success in a valuable handicap at Worcester last month, although he faces a tougher test now. Preference is for DALSTON LAD, who lost his unbeaten record in the Champion Bumper here in March, but his two previous victories under Rules suggest that he has the ability to make his presence felt in a race of this nature.

Some interesting runners but ARCH EMPIRE is now an experienced hurdler whose peak form reads well.

COMIC STRIP ran well from a difficult draw at Wolverhampton at the start of this month and may find dropping in trip is a good move for his nursery debut. Dark Alley and Concert could have an impact and warrant close inspection in the betting. The latter may be the biggest danger to the selection with a first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces combination tried.

The drop in trip poses a question for COMIC STRIP, but his sire's fine record here makes him of interest so he may be worth supporting.

TROPICAL IMAGE was one of six winners for Eoin McCarthy at last month's Listowel Festival when keeping on strongly in the closing stages to score over 2m6f. The eight-year-old was also placed a couple of times over the summer, including at this venue, and may defy a 9lb rise. Perzzini made all in a Gowran maiden hurdle, but was absent for nearly two years before reappearing at the same venue earlier this month. The Shantou gelding only weakened approaching the last and should benefit from the outing, while Moulane West easily made all over 2m2f here earlier this year.

Though she has been raised 9lb for her comfortable Listowel win, TROPICAL IMAGE(nap) should be able to cope and score again.

C&D winner ABERAMA GOLD has held his form well since August, with his latest second at Goodwood showing he may still be feasibly treated. The eight-year-old has Cian Horgan claiming a handy 5lb and could record his 16th career success. Trouble Man was put in his place in Listed company at Chantilly in March, but steps back into a handicap and might have a say. Green Pursuit makes his first appearance for the Seb Spencer yard and warrants a market check.

David O'Meara holds a strong hand and ABERAMA GOLD (nap), who goes well on heavy ground, can prove too strong for Lord Bertie.

Despite taking a keen hold and hanging throughout the race, Glenfinnan did well to finish second at Leopardstown and he has to be considered. Bold Impact is likely to improve on his reappearance fourth at Newcastle and is noted, but TARKHAN gets the vote. Jamie Osborne's gelding occupied the runner-up berth behind Christian David over C&D on his penultimate start and may turn the tables on that rival on 2lb better terms.

Unexposed Bold Impact made a promising return but TELEMARK shaped well on AW last time and can exploit a good mark.

REGARDE has progressed well over fences and arguably put in a career best when winning at Haydock in March. He was second over 3m4f here on his sole subsequent start and that form was boosted when the winner struck at Chepstow earlier in the month. On that evidence, Jamie Snowden's gelding could take plenty of stopping off the same mark. Kelce has to be noted following his success at Wetherby on his final run of last season, while Harrys Hope and Smugglers Haven have the benefit of more recent outings. Others to note are Solly Attwell, Planned Paradise and Rockinastorm.

The most interesting runner is KALANISI FLASH, who shaped well before weakening into third on his chasing debut in August.

ABUNDANT's two second-placed finishes set a decent standard and the Tom Ward-trained colt is readily forwarded as the one to be with based on his potential for progression. There are a few notable debutants to also consider, with The Glory Mile, Rum Diamond and Crown Inn To Win all holding some appeal. Urban Law and Raise The Stakes are the pick of the rest with experience.

This can go to ABUNDANT who sets a useful standard having finished runner-up in his first two starts and Kempton and Bath.

ADDITIONAL TIME may gain quick compensation after losing a Thurles maiden hurdle in the stewards' room last week. The point-to-point winner just got the better of Heron's Butler, but caused some interference on the run-in in that near-2m7f event and should appreciate this stamina test. Phoenix Arizona has been placed a couple of times in point-to-points and was third behind the long odds-on Welonlyhavedone over hurdles at Galway recently. Strong Contender is worth a second look ahead of her introduction.

Having been demoted at Thurles last time for carrying a rival left on the run-in, ADDITIONAL TIME can make up for that.

7th	13 7th (13) (11/1 +0%) Star Cast	11 11/1(+0%)	(13) Star Cast 11/1, Didn't stay when back up in trip, finishing fourth and beaten 7 1/4l in a 12f handicap at Newcastle last time; effective at 10f, uncertain to stay 12f; acts on heavy ground and all-weather; drop in trip should suit. Sole attempt over 1m2f resulted in peak effort (penultimate start); interesting.
8th	11 8th (11) (22/1 -83%) Pisanello	22 22/1(-83%)	(11) Pisanello 22/1, Unable to challenge after another slow start when beaten 5l in an 8f handicap at Hamilton last time; usually held up; effective at 8/9f, acts on any going; could do with breaking more sharply. On an attractive mark but losing run is mounting up.
9th	7 9th (7) (50/1 -150%) Ninth Life	50 50/1(-150%)	(7) Ninth Life 50/1, Below form again when making the running and well beaten in a Newcastle handicap last time; effective at 10/11f and acts on a sound surface; may benefit from a more patient ride. Not solid on his form for new stable and is 0-5 on turf.
10th	3 10th (3) (25/1 -25%) Pearl Eye	25 25/1(-25%)	(3) Pearl Eye 25/1, Made no impact over a trip he may not stay (10f) when down the field in a Nottingham handicap last time; better suited by 7/8f and acts on any ground but remains out of sorts. Awarded this year's Spring Mile in sole Doncaster attempt (now 9lb lower).
11th	6 11th (6) (18/1 -13%) Time Tells All	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Time Tells All 18/1, Scored by 2l off 68 at Beverley in August but struggled for pace when dropped to 7f last time; effective from 10-12f, acts on any going and prefers Beverley; needs to bounce back. Perhaps ideally suited by Beverley, having gained both wins there.
12th	12 12th (12) (28/1 -75%) Four Fifty	28 28/1(-75%)	(12) Four Fifty 28/1, Didn't stay when upped to 10f and beaten 9l in a Redcar handicap last time; had been in good form prior; cheekpieces on for the first time; effective at 7/8f, acts on good to soft and a sound surface; needs more and ground a worry. Ran encouragingly in the Leger Legends race here on penultimate start.
13th	10 13th (10) (11/1 +21%) Lola Moon	11 11/1(+21%)	(10) Lola Moon 11/1, May have needed the first run since summer when well beaten in a handicap here last time; visor on for the first time; effective at 8f and acts on good ground; yet to build on debut promise. Chance depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear.

Lesrico outran odds of 50/1 to fill the runner-up spot at Haydock last month and should remain competitive, despite being 1lb higher. However, HARSWELL RUBY has been unfortunate to fill the runner-up spot in four of her last five starts and first-time blinkers might eke out the improvement required to get her head back in front. Monday's Pontefract victor Tele Red is another to note.

With further improvement plausible, GHOST STORY is preferred. Harswell Ruby is a solid second choice.

Suited by 5/6f, acts on any going; fairly treated if bouncing back. Conditions shouldn't be an issue but yet to win a handicap; blinkers now reached for.
2	17 2nd (17) (4/1 +47%) Charlie Mason	4 4/1(+47%)	(17) Charlie Mason 4/1, Scored by a neck off 70 at Doncaster three starts ago; ran to form back on the all-weather when second, beaten 1/2l off 72 last time. Drawn wide; effective at 5/6f on any surface and still on a competitive mark. Comes here in top form and he is 2lb well in; this is a rise in class though.
3	10 3rd (10) (7/2 +36%) Maelstrom	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(10) Maelstrom 7/2, Perhaps not suited by the ground when beaten 4 1/2l in a York handicap last time; in good form prior. Top course jockey booked; returns from a break and drawn on the wing of a large field. Won his first three handicaps before coming up shy in a hot York race in June; unexposed.
4	15 4th (15) (10/1 -11%) Havana Rum	10 10/1(-11%)	(15) Havana Rum 10/1, Scored by 3 1/2l off 65 at Ripon three runs back; ran to form on slower ground when fourth, beaten 1 1/4l off 77 last time. Suited by 6f and acts on good to soft and good going; may find deep ground less ideal. In good form since June but not much room for error off his current mark.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/1 -20%) Woven	9 9/1(-20%)	(5) Woven 9/1, Back to best on favoured ground when landing a handicap by 1/2l off 84 at Ayr last time. Suited by 6f and acts on heavy and good ground; conditions look ideal and respected. Off the mark for the year at Ayr two weeks ago (6f, heavy); respected despite 3lb rise.
6th	18 6th (18) (28/1 -40%) Land Of Magic	28 28/1(-40%)	(18) Land Of Magic 28/1, Got warm but ran to form when beaten 2l off 67 at Salisbury last time. Trainer in form; suited by 6/7f and acts on any going; can boil over and runs just out of the weights. Handles the mud but she is 3lb wrong and has other pace influences to contend with.
7th	2 7th (2) (10/1 -25%) Dr Strangelove	10 10/1(-25%)	(2) Dr Strangelove 10/1, Ran to form off a fair mark when landing a handicap by a length off 85 at Salisbury last time. Effective at 6/7f, acts on good, good to firm and all-weather, but something to prove if ground turns testing. Ready win at Salisbury three weeks ago but up 4lb against stronger rivals; unexposed.
8th	1 8th (1) (22/1 -57%) Twilight Jet	22 22/1(-57%)	(1) Twilight Jet 22/1, Back to form with soft ground a help when beaten 2 1/2l off 91 over 5f at Ascot last time; wide draw. Effective over 5/6f, acts on any going, and on a fair mark if building on that run. Two best runs for new yard have come on soft going; down in class but others appeal more.
9th	3 9th (3) (10/1 -67%) Showering	10 10/1(-67%)	(3) Showering 10/1, Scored by a neck off 88 at Chester in July; best work came late when third, beaten a length off 89 last time. Effective at 6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; has more to offer. Two wins this year and as good as ever when 3rd (not clean run through) at Goodwood latest.
10th	11 10th (11) (40/1 -100%) Fleetwater	40 40/1(-100%)	(11) Fleetwater 40/1, Below form when returning to the all-weather, beaten 6l in a Kempton handicap last time. Significant jockey booking and drawn wide; suited by 6f, acts on any surface but proving inconsistent. Second to Dr Strangelove at Salisbury before lesser run on AW; others much more appealing.
11th	13 11th (13) (16/1 -45%) Sergeant Pep	16 16/1(-45%)	(13) Sergeant Pep 16/1, Close to form back up in trip when beaten 4l off 82 at Haydock last time. Suited by 6f, testing 5f is fine; acts on heavy, good and all-weather; merits consideration. 3rd in this race last year when rated 5lb higher; retains ability but needs to up his game.
12th	14 12th (14) (12/1 -33%) Peter The Wolf	12 12/1(-33%)	(14) Peter The Wolf 12/1, Easily off the mark when winning a Chepstow maiden by 4l last time; had a simple task and now faces tougher company. Returns from a short break; effective at 6f, acts on good to firm ground. Easy win in an uncompetitive maiden (6f, soft) latest; more needed to win this deep sprint.
13th	7 13th (7) (16/1 -14%) Knebworth	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Knebworth 16/1, Won this race last year. Again below best when down in trip, beaten 6l in a handicap over 5f at Leicester last time. Effective at 6f and suited by cut in the ground; out of form but on a good mark. Won this race last year off 1lb higher; conditions to suit and retains all his ability.
14th	4 14th (4) (12/1 +40%) Sudden Flight	12 12/1(+40%)	(4) Sudden Flight 12/1, Yard won this last year; scored by 2 1/4l off 87 at Wolverhampton penultimate start. Draw and ground no help when 14th, beaten 8l off 94 last time; wide draw again; handles fast ground but soft conditions may be a concern. Useful on AW; more to prove on turf but still brings relatively low mileage.
15th	16 15th (16) (50/1 -25%) Rajala	50 50/1(-25%)	(16) Rajala 50/1, Below form after racing keenly when well beaten in a 7f handicap at Newmarket latest. Effective at 7f on good ground but plenty to prove at present. Lightly raced but looks on a tough mark; slow ground needs to make a big difference.

Effective over 7-8f, acts on soft, good and all-weather; needs to settle better. Inconsistent and drops to 6f for the first time since his 2yo days; others appeal more.
17th	9 17th (9) (25/1 -56%) Under The Twilight	25 25/1(-56%)	(9) Under The Twilight 25/1, Below form with no obvious excuse when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Salisbury last time; usually held up. Suited by 6f but probably not at best on heavy or soft ground; forecast conditions a concern. Retains a chunk of ability and conditions won't be an issue; not at her best last time.
18th	6 18th (6) (40/1 -100%) Thunder Blue	40 40/1(-100%)	(6) Thunder Blue 40/1, Scored by 1/2l off 83 at Salisbury three starts back; didn't get home after a wide trip when eighth, beaten 6 1/2l off 87 last time. Wide draw again; effective at 6/7f on any ground but faces a tough mark. Heavy-ground 6f win at Salisbury last month; needs to bounce back from quiet run latest.

Maelstrom came up short when attempting to protect his unbeaten record since competing in the handicap ranks at York in June, but he certainly isn't one to write off. However, DR STRANGELOVE beat Fleetwater by a length at Salisbury at the start of the month and is likely to have more to come on just his third handicap outing. A 4lb rise might be lenient and he will prove a tough nut to crack.

He is into the veteran stage but WOVEN comes here in peak form and will relish conditions. He can prove too strong for Knebworth.

Effective at 1m on any surface but inconsistent and looks on a stiff mark. Reproduction of Cambridgeshire run in August would make her hard to beat on these terms.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/1 +0%) Minaun View	9 9/1(+0%)	(5) Minaun View 9/1, Returned to form when beaten 4l in a Naas maiden last time. Cheekpieces go on first time. Effective at 7-8f, probably best at 7f. Highly tried, in good form, a bit frustrating but a major player dropped in grade. One place ahead of Beautiful Affair at Naas on latest but far better off at the weights.

Effective at 6-7f and both wins came on all-weather. Well treated on UK form but slow starts remain a concern. Dual AW winner; disappointed last two starts here, slow to break both times; more needed.
4	3 4th (3) (11/4 +39%) Dramatic	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(3) Dramatic 11/4, Improved from debut to finish 2l third in a 6f maiden here last time. From a yard in form, bred to handle all-weather but may need further than 6f. Likely capable of better. Good third here (6f) last week; Aidan O'Brien's first runner in a claimer at Dundalk.

Effective at 1m-10f but unreliable, and this drop in trip may not play to her strengths. Fifth in 10.5f claimer here last week, staying on late after a slow start; trip a worry.
7th	2 7th (2) (10/1 -100%) Beautiful Affair	10 10/1(-100%)	(2) Beautiful Affair 10/1, Ran to form when beaten 4 1/4l in a Naas maiden last time. From a top course yard, effective at 7-8f and acts on all-weather. Needs to back up her latest improvement. Twice placed in course maidens here at the beginning of the year at 7f-1m.
8th	11 8th (11) (20/1 -11%) She's Smart	20 20/1(-11%)	(11) She's Smart 20/1, No obvious excuse when beaten 8 1/4l in a 5f handicap at Bellewstown last time. Effective at 5-6f but doesn't stay further and can be inconsistent. Won at Limerick (6.5f, good) in July but she has regressed of late and is 0-4 on the AW.
9th	7 9th (7) (40/1 -82%) Bahama Bear	40 40/1(-82%)	(7) Bahama Bear 40/1, Disappointed on handicap debut when beaten 10l in an 8f event at Bellewstown last time. Effective at 6-8f on all-weather and can be suited by this surface. Third in 1m course maiden here in January but heavily beaten in two turf starts since.
9	9 \|U\| (9) (20/1 -25%) Brosna Green	20 20/1(-25%)	(9) Brosna Green 20/1, Ran to form when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 7f and best efforts have come on all-weather. Can be inconsistent. Not a bad effort on stable debut in C&D handicap two weeks ago; place possibilities.
10th	8 10th (8) (300/1 -500%) Lo Tengo Claro	300 300/1(-500%)	(8) Lo Tengo Claro 300/1, Never involved when down the field in a maiden here last time. Has speed in her pedigree but has yet to show any ability, finishing among the back markers in all three runs. Tailed off in three maidens, including on latest over C&D 10 days ago; look elsewhere.

INDEPENDENT EXPERT, who looks well treated at the weights, should be able to gain a seventh career success. A C&D winner, the daughter of Gutaifan has been running consistently in much stronger company all season. Victorious at Naas back in May, the Stephen Thorne-trained mare drops in class significantly and it will be disappointing if she doesn't take maximum advantage. Minaun View has to be a contender with her rating, especially once taking her rider's claim into account. Amemri has a bit to do at these weights, but the David Marnane-trained mare is a multiple winner who can usually be relied upon to run her race here.

On official ratings, this should be a great opportunity for INDEPENDENT EXPERT to get her head in front again

MONARCH'S GOLD, a 550,000 euros breeze-up purchase, made an immediate impact with a winning debut at Kempton last month. That preceded another good effort, where he went down fighting under a penalty in a similar novice event at Haydock. This is no tougher and the son of Too Darn Hot is hard to overlook. Start Me Up, a 210,000-pound yearling, has been given time since his Newmarket debut in May and appeals resuming at this level. The newcomer, Diamond Aura, is the pick of the rest.

Unless the betting vibes are notably strong surrounding newcomer Diamond Aura this looks a very good chance for MONARCH'S GOLD.

CORNMARKET showed his liking for this venue when successful twice over 2m4f earlier this year and again finished well into fourth when switched to fences here last time. The Elzaam gelding could be suited by this step up in trip. Tango Theatre made all for a wide-margin victory at this circuit on her last hurdles start and John McConnell has booked 7lb claimer Dylan Kidd to help offset the 9lb higher mark. Ilbdare beat Arrycan by a length here back in May and the pair could again be in the mix along with The Little Yank, who was a creditable third at Tipperary last time.

Noted running on over 2m7f at Killarney last time, GATHER YOURSELF should be suited by this longer trip and get off the mark

A winner over C&D two weeks ago, VENETIAN can follow up. Prominent throughout, the Sean Davis-trained gelding looked to relish the drop back in trip, going clear inside the final furlong to score easily. Although raised 10lb, the five-year-old has won off higher marks in the past and has the beating of a number of these on previous form. Three-time course scorer Darkdeserthighway has yet to triumph over this distance, but has to be a danger. Michael O'Callaghan's mare, who caught the eye when fifth at Gowran Park recently, has the services of leading apprentice Nicola Burns on this occasion. Wegotogether, who didn't enjoy the clearest of runs behind Venetian last time, is also worthy of consideration.

A wide-open handicap can go the way of TRIBAL MOON, who was an eyecatcher behind the reopposing Venetian over C&D two weeks ago

ACCRUAL returned to winning ways with a determined performance over C&D last month, and a 2lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to notch up a fourth career success. A taking winner at Yarmouth on Tuesday, Sturlasson should appreciate a return to this track, having scored here last month, and he could be thereabouts again under a 5lb penalty. Rogue Bullet and Spirit Of Applause are key players as well.

The choice is ACCRUAL who is just 2lb higher than when winning here last month and may still have more to offer.

Effective over 7-10f but slow starts remain an issue and he arrives out of form. Dual winner on turf; outpaced here over 10.5f on latest; this trip is surely far too short.

Wears a tongue-tie for the first time and enjoys forcing the pace, though drawn wide. Effective over 5-6f and handles any surface but has lost form. Won four times in Britain but four poor runs for this yard to date; the jury is out.

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

Narrowly beaten in a stronger race over C&D last month, MASKED ANGEL can go one better. Fitted with a first-time tongue-tie on that occasion, the Diego Dias-trained filly retains that aid here. While there is again unlikely to be very much between her and the third-placed Undefeatable, the daughter of Harry Angel just gets the vote. Undefeatable beat Masked Angel at Sligo in August, but was unable to confirm the form last time. At the revised weights, it should be tight between the pair. Jazzy Dancer is nicely handicapped if he can overcome a very wide draw.

Despite having to contend with the burden of top weight, MASKED ANGEL should prove to be a class apart dropping down in grade

A winner over this distance on his penultimate start at Hamilton, HICKTON had the resopposing Hamdani Cruiser (fourth) over a length behind when third here over shorter recently and he can uphold that form. A consistent sort of late, Stintino Sunset is likely to be thereabouts once again, along with Honour Whim, who shaped very encouragingly at Brighton most recently.

Possibly best to focus on the 3yos, with HICKTON taken to hit the target for the second time this autumn. Belle Amie is next best.

Runner-up in a winners' race over C&D, ROSIE FRITH can register a second success. Having attempted to make all last time, the Patrick Magee-trained filly kept on strongly once headed. Back in calmer waters, it would be no surprise to see the speedy daughter of Cotai Glory lead throughout. Down Royal second Final Melody is weighted to reverse that form with her conqueror Love Bomb on these terms. Also runner-up on her previous start, the Natalia Lupini-trained filly looks fairly handicapped at present. Spicetown finished with plenty of running left in him after a nightmare passage here and should be capable of making his presence felt.

The form of ROSIE FRITH's most recent race over C&D has worked out really well and Pat Magee's filly can come out on top

Well held in three runs on turf but could prove different proposition in handicaps.

AIM FOR THE BULL hasn't done himself any favours in recent outings when slowly away at Chepstow or hanging right at Kempton when challenged. The son of Showcasing displayed ability on both occasions to finish second, though, and with more cover from a wide draw on this occasion, he may be able to get off the mark. Fifty Sent must enter calculations, as well as Reputation and Trusty Scout, who may be suited by dropping in trip.

A record of 0-13 means AIM FOR THE BULL can't be a confident selection but he is well treated on his latest Kempton second.

Has a wide draw; effective at 5f and acts on good and all-weather surfaces; a French Listed winner with plenty of speed. Chantilly Listed win in June, highly tried to no avail since, has won on AW but drawn wide.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 +55%) West Acre	2.5 5/2(+55%)	(1) West Acre 5/2, Couldn't go the pace when beaten 6 1/4l in the Coral Charge (Group 3) at Sandown last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time and returns from a break; Meydan form looks flattering. Group 2 & Group 3 winner in Meydan, 2-3 on AW, respected in cheekpieces after break.

Has a wide draw; effective from 6-7f and acts on any ground; progressive in handicaps, though may have reached her level. Stayed on for fourth in 6f Listed latest, drop to 5f not an obvious plus, drawn wide.
4	15 4th (15) (16/1 +20%) Eclairage	16 16/1(+20%)	(15) Eclairage 16/1, Beaten 3 1/2l in a Conditions Race here last time; stable has won the last two runnings of this race. Likes to race prominently; suited by 5f and a sound surface; in good form with plenty of early speed and a solid all-weather record. C&D form figures of 11115, a bit to find on the figures but could make a bold bid; reserve.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/2 +47%) Powerful Nation	4.5 9/2(+47%)	(4) Powerful Nation 9/2, Did not find much when beaten 7 1/4l in the RFL Steels Stakes (Listed) over 6f at Naas last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective at 5f and yet to race over further; a Listed winner who can act on good and all-weather surfaces, though inconsistent of late. Lost way recently, was beaten a head in this last year, could rebound back on AW.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 +0%) The Highway Rat	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) The Highway Rat 12/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 2l, in a Conditions Race here latest. Suited by 5f and acts on good and all-weather surfaces; generally in good form this term, with handicaps probably his level. Won this in 2021, neck behind Black Forza latest, 4lb better off, needs more in this grade.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 -14%) Grande Marques	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Grande Marques 16/1, Too keen and outclassed when beaten 7 1/4l in the Flying Five Stakes (Group 1) at The Curragh last time. Trainer in form; effective at 5-6f and acts on good ground; can bounce back now dropping in class. Made all for Listed win at Tipperary, outclassed latest, AW debut, needs career-best.
8th	8 8th (8) (16/1 +0%) Gutsy Girl	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Gutsy Girl 16/1, May have found the ground too testing when well beaten in the Brigid's Pastures Stakes (Listed) over 6f at The Curragh last time. Previously in good form; effective from 5-7f on a sound surface and competitive at Listed and Group level. No win for this yard, below-par at 6f last twice, drops in trip, McMonagle looks elsewhere.
9th	12 9th (12) (12/1 -50%) Star Of Lady M	12 12/1(-50%)	(12) Star Of Lady M 12/1, Outclassed up in grade but back to form when beaten 6 1/2l in the Prix de l'Abbaye (Group 1) at Longchamp last time. Effective at 5-6f and acts on any ground. 3-16 on AW, only sixth in this last year when 5-1, below-par last twice, needs to revive.
10th	2 10th (2) (40/1 -100%) Black Forza	40 40/1(-100%)	(2) Black Forza 40/1, Returned to form, benefitting from his reappearance when 1 1/2l third in a Conditions Race here most recently. Effective at 6f on fast ground and all-weather; Group winner at two and could build on that latest effort. Gr' 2 winner last year, lightly raced this season, this demands more than latest C&D third.
11th	13 11th (13) (25/1 -127%) Town And Country	25 25/1(-127%)	(13) Town And Country 25/1, Probably raced on the wrong side when beaten 9l in the King George Qatar Stakes (Group 2) at Goodwood last time. Had been in good form prior; wide draw; returns from a short break; effective at 5-6f on a sound surface and can bounce back. Listed win in June, off since August Gr' 2 Goodwood defeat, must rebound on AW debut.

Cheekpieces first time; trained by a leading course trainer; acts on fast ground and all-weather, though her Listed wins came in modest races for the grade. Dual AW Listed winner inc' over C&D, preferred by McMonagle, nicely drawn; cheekpieces.
13th	11 13th (11) (7/1 +13%) Songhai	7 7/1(+13%)	(11) Songhai 7/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/4l, in a Conditions Race here latest. Suited by 5f and acts on good and all-weather surfaces; consistent at Listed and Group level. Running well in defeat this year inc' over C&D latest, won her maiden here, in the mix.
14th	3 14th (3) (22/1 -83%) Fandom	22 22/1(-83%)	(3) Fandom 22/1, Flattened out up in trip and may have found the ground too soft when beaten 10l in the RFL Steels Stakes (Listed) over 6f at Naas last time. Effective over 5f on a sound surface; a US Listed winner who could prove a useful sprint recruit for a top yard and may prefer a faster surface. Dual US Listed winner, below-par last twice, new headgear tried, McMonagle jumps ship.

In a race where the visitors look to hold strong claims, STAR OF LADY M is taken to come out on top. Lightly raced this season, the David O'Meara-trained mare ran well in much stronger company when mid-division in the Abbaye earlier this month. A three-time winner on the all-weather, the five-year-old daughter of Havana Grey should appreciate this drop in class. Fellow UK raider West Acre has also kept smart company. A dual winner at Meydan earlier in the year, the George Scott-trained gelding would have every chance if ready after a break. Spartan Arrow is another with claims of taking this prize back across the Irish Sea.

SONGHAI shaped nicely behind the 106-rated Valiant Force over C&D two weeks ago and she is a tentative selection

Effective from 8f to 10f, though may lack the speed for shorter trips. In fine form since moving from Ireland and his all-weather mark looks generous. Won off 4lb higher on turf last month; obvious claims under conditions that are no problem.
3	9 3rd (9) (18/1 -50%) Tootsie	18 18/1(-50%)	(9) Tootsie 18/1, Continued in poor form, appearing to need a slightly stiffer test when fourth and beaten 5 1/2l in a 7f handicap at Newcastle latest.

10th	8 10th (8) (10/3 +56%) Unknown Journey	3.333333 10/3(+56%)	(8) Unknown Journey 10/3, Raced too freely when beaten 3 1/2l off 51 at Bath last time. Tricky to gauge his best distance, but he acts on an easy surface and all-weather; hard to assess overall. 0-12 but has run some fair races for new yard since June; not ruled out off a reduced mark.

The refitting of a visor proved just the tonic for last-time-out Bath winner LATIN and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. James Owen's charge is 8lb lower on the all-weather than his revised turf figure and looks more than capable of completing a double. Heretic finished a close third over C&D eight days ago and has to enter calculations, while The Pug appears best of the remainder.

This looks between Latin and HERETIC and the latter, who ran well over C&D last week, is marginally preferred.

BOSTON BENJAMIN can open his account at the third time of asking. Having shown promise in mid-division at Down Royal on his debut, the Gordon Elliott-trained colt stepped up on that effort with a nice run for fourth at Naas. That form looks particularly strong, with the third winning twice subsequently and all three ahead of the selection now rated over 80. Provided that the son of Far Above handles the all-weather surface, he looks very much the one to beat. Fifth here on her introduction last month, Saga Lucia is entitled to improve for that experience and stepping up a furlong looks sure to suit. A half-brother to two winners, Mahi Mahi has to be respected.

BOSTON BENJAMIN (nap)'s fourth at Naas has worked out well and he can make it third time lucky stepped up to 1m on his AW debut

13th	3 13th (3) (33/1 -32%) Fools Rush In	33 33/1(-32%)	(3) Fools Rush In 33/1, Slowly away and below form when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective over 7f and suited by the all-weather; on his last winning mark but must bounce back after a break. C&D winner who is back off last winning mark; has won fresh, but outside stall is an issue.
14th	10 14th (10) (14/1 -17%) Petra Celera	14 14/1(-17%)	(10) Petra Celera 14/1, Returned to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 63 here last time; suited by 7f on the all-weather and looks fairly treated if building on that revival. C&D winner who finished second here last time; 2lb well in, but stall 13 is far from ideal.

STAR OF MALI improved for a step in distance when second on his handicap bow at Wolverhampton recently and compensation could beckon. James Tate's inmate should still have better days ahead of him and edges the vote over Petra Celera. The latter arrives on the back of a good second over C&D and merits respect given that she is 2lb well-in. Savvy Exchange lurks on an attractive mark and it will be interesting to see if his supporters return after his latest fifth at Kempton.

It may be worth taking a chance with WAY TO DUBAI who is very well handicapped on one piece of form in the spring.

20:15 Dundalk 10f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	11 1st (11) (8/1 -78%) Etawa	8 8/1(-78%)	(11) Etawa 8/1, Short of room when closing and ran roughly to form when comfortably held in a 10f maiden at Clonmel last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time; capable of better but looks quirky. Rated 75 after five turf starts, new headgear for third race in a row, must improve for AW.
2	12 2nd (12) (7/1 -75%) Head To Head	7 7/1(-75%)	(12) Head To Head 7/1, Below form in her last two runs and yet to build on a promising debut when comfortably held in a maiden here last time. Hood on for the first time; needs to improve. Fine run on debut, only seen twice since, off since poor C&D run in April, now hooded.
3	1 3rd (1) (100/1 -52%) El Galvino	100 100/1(-52%)	(1) El Galvino 100/1, Green and improved from debut when finishing down the field in a maiden here most recently. A bumper performer likely to be suited by handicaps over middle to staying distances. Modest form so far including over C&D latest, may do better in handicaps.
4	4 4th (4) (4/5 +51%) Ben Lawers	0.8 4/5(+51%)	(4) Ben Lawers 4/5, Ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/2l, in a maiden here latest. Consistent over 8–10f; needs to settle better but has shown enough to win a maiden. Rated 84, runner up behind Balydoyle hotpot here latest, a repeat should suffice.
5th	5 5th (5) (40/1 +39%) Good Onya Mate	40 40/1(+39%)	(5) Good Onya Mate 40/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a 12f maiden at Roscommon on only start. Off a short break; stamina in the pedigree and probably one for handicaps. Australia gelding, 33-1 and tailed off on debut at Roscommon, can only watch.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 -32%) Miqdaar	33 33/1(-32%)	(7) Miqdaar 33/1, Ran to form but was well beaten in an 8f maiden at Naas latest. Bred to appreciate around 1m and has shown minor promise in maidens. Never involved either start at 7f-1m, should qualify for handicaps after this.
7th	3 7th (3) (50/1 +50%) Tinsioux	50 50/1(+50%)	(3) Tinsioux 50/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden at Killarney last time. Effective from 10–11f and one for handicaps, though possibly a bit flattered by his penultimate run. Minor promise in turf maidens at 1m2f-1m3f, much more needed on AW debut.
8th	10 8th (10) (10/1 -82%) The Corporate Guy	10 10/1(-82%)	(10) The Corporate Guy 10/1, Outpaced on a promising debut when beaten 9l in a 7f maiden at Down Royal. Bred to relish a step up to 10f and looks a likely improver. Pleasing effort over 7f on debut, related to AW winner, this trip may suit, could go well.
9th	14 9th (14) (11/2 +8%) Walk The Highline	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(14) Walk The Highline 11/2, Disappointing on handicap debut when comfortably held in a 1m6f handicap at Listowel last time. Effective around 10f and may benefit from a drop in grade. Rated 72 after five turf starts, place chance on best form if handling this surface.
10th	2 10th (2) (300/1 -100%) Syosset	300 300/1(-100%)	(2) Syosset 300/1, Outpaced and below debut form when finishing down the field in a 10f maiden at Roscommon last time. Yet to show any notable ability in either code. Well beaten over hurdles and last twice on the Flat, switch to AW needs to transform.
11th	8 11th (8) (300/1 -200%) Money Shuffler	300 300/1(-200%)	(8) Money Shuffler 300/1, Outpaced and ran poorly when finishing down the field in a bumper over 2m1f at Wexford most recent. Returning from a break; showed nothing in bumpers and has all to prove on the Flat. Modest form in pair of bumpers in summer, hard to make a case for on AW and Flat debut.
12th	9 12th (9) (7/1 +0%) Seti One	7 7/1(+0%)	(9) Seti One 7/1, Stepped up in trip and failed to get home when down the field in a 12f maiden at The Curragh most recent. Effective around 10f but inconsistent. Best run came second time out at this trip, this surface could suit, place shout.
13th	13 13th (13) (66/1 -164%) Pink Sheet Pony	66 66/1(-164%)	(13) Pink Sheet Pony 66/1, 18,000 euros Kodi Bear filly; half-sister to Blue Skyline, useful at 7f as a two-year-old; dam was smart at 11f. E18,000 Kodi Bear filly, related to AW winners but yard 0-39 in Flat maidens, watch.
14th	6 14th (6) (300/1 -200%) Inver Bay	300 300/1(-200%)	(6) Inver Bay 300/1, Outpaced and never involved when finishing down the field in a mares' bumper over 2m at Listowel most recently. Trainer in form; effective at 2m but must settle better and may need more time on the Flat. Soundly beaten at big prices in three bumpers and a maiden hurdle, watch on AW bow.

Second over C&D last month, BEN LAWERS can go one place better. Making his all-weather debut on that occasion, the Jessica Harrington-trained colt made a short-priced favourite work hard before eventually giving best late on. Although last of nine in a Listed race at Killarney on his previous start, it was surely significant that connections deemed the son of Siyouni worthy of a place in that race. This looks a decent opportunity to gain a first winning bracket. Etawa needs to improve on what she has shown to date, but the Dermot Weld-trained filly must be respected in first-time cheekpieces. Head To Head looks best of the remainder.

The top-rated BEN LAWERS bumped into one over C&D last time and a repeat of that run should be enough to win this

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (14/1 -100%) Pinjarra	14 14/1(-100%)	(7) Pinjarra 14/1, Made too much use of the pace and was well beaten in a handicap at Chelmsford latest, having been in good form prior. Effective from 5f to 7f and acts on all-weather; needs to judge the fractions better. 1-18, the win coming in a 0-50 classified event; still has it to prove in a handicap.
2	5 2nd (5) (50/1 -52%) Dr Ali	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Dr Ali 50/1, Forced wide from a poor draw and finished down the field in a 7f handicap at Kempton last time. Effective at 6/7f with recent form all on all-weather but currently out of sorts. 0-13; often in the frame on the AW earlier in year, but very poor the last twice.
3	3 3rd (3) (40/1 -82%) Bad Habits	40 40/1(-82%)	(3) Bad Habits 40/1, Below form when beaten 6l in a handicap at Pontefract last time. Effective at 7f on all-weather but currently out of form. 0-11; went close at Wolverhampton in January, but nowhere near that form since.
4	8 4th (8) (15/2 -36%) My Mate Beattie	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(8) My Mate Beattie 15/2, Ran to form when 5 1/2l third in a 7f handicap at Chelmsford last time. Trainer in form; effective over 7/8f and handles all-weather; on an upward curve at a modest level. 0-17; placed the last twice, but needs to find something extra for the return to sprinting.
5th	4 5th (4) (13/2 +59%) Vault Of Heaven	6.5 13/2(+59%)	(4) Vault Of Heaven 13/2, Missed the break and was never competitive in a handicap at Nottingham most recently. Cheekpieces tried for the first time; suited by 6f and acts on all-weather; form has tailed off. 0-10; beaten a nose on last AW start; worth a second look back on Tapeta; cheekpieces on.
6th	12 6th (12) (5/1 +29%) Eldeyaar	5 5/1(+29%)	(12) Eldeyaar 5/1, Ran to form when beaten a length off 48 at Ripon last time. Likes to make the running; effective at 6f and consistent at a low level. Three-time winner at Wolverhampton; has been placed the last twice and could go well.
7th	14 7th (14) (8/1 0%) She'sashambles	8 8/1(0%)	(14) She'sashambles 8/1, Returned to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 45 at Newcastle last time. Effective at 6f on a sound surface but unreliable and not one to rely on backing up latest effort. 0-19 on AW, but not beaten far into third at Newcastle last time; possible frame material.
8th	9 8th (9) (6/1 0%) Angel's Call	6 6/1(0%)	(9) Angel's Call 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off 51 at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 5/6f on all-weather; has regressed but the handicap mark continues to fall. Best run for a while when third at Wolverhampton last month; respected down another 2lb.
9th	1 9th (1) (4/1 +27%) Top Biller	4 4/1(+27%)	(1) Top Biller 4/1, Had too much to do after meeting trouble when beaten 5l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time. Effective at 6f, acts on a sound surface, and his current mark looks about right. 1lb lower than when beaten a head over C&D in August; every chance on that form.
10th	10 10th (10) (10/1 -11%) Indy's Angel	10 10/1(-11%)	(10) Indy's Angel 10/1, Short of room late when beaten 3 1/2l off 51 at Newcastle last time. Probably best at 6f on a sound surface, also effective at 5f, but has lost form recently. Patchy form since winning easily at Newcastle just over a year ago, but not written off.
11th	6 11th (6) (14/1 0%) Mccauley's Tavern	14 14/1(0%)	(6) Mccauley's Tavern 14/1, Needed the run when down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recently. From a top course trainer and usually held up; effective at 6f on all-weather but out of form this year and slow starts remain an issue. Well treated on the pick of his form, but below form lately and is just 2-32.
12th	13 12th (13) (40/1 -21%) Mehmo	40 40/1(-21%)	(13) Mehmo 40/1, Never involved when down the field in a handicap at Brighton most recently. Usually held up; effective at 5/6f and acts on any surface; game type but long time since a win and currently in moderate form. All six wins have come over 5f; has only managed to win one of his last 30 starts.
13th	11 13th (11) (11/1 +8%) Laura's Breeze	11 11/1(+8%)	(11) Laura's Breeze 11/1, Waited a long time for daylight, travelled well and finished best after having too much to do when second, beaten 1 1/2l in a 7f classified race at Newcastle latest. Has a wide draw. 2-33; runner-up the last twice, but has been off eight months and has the widest stall.
14th	2 14th (2) (16/1 -14%) Kamberleigh	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Kamberleigh 16/1, Stepped up in trip on handicap debut and failed to stay when comfortably held over 8f here last time. Blinkers go on for the first time and drawn wide; looks in need of a drop back from 1m. Unplaced in four starts over 5f-1m; still not sure what his ideal trip is; blinkers on.

ELDEYAAR is effective on Tapeta and, having gone very close here on several occasions in the past, he gets the vote reverting to all-weather and off 9lb below his last winning mark. Laura's Breeze and My Mate Beattie are dangerous to underestimate. Angel's Call also appeals after an improved effort when third at Wolverhampton last month and he won't need to find much to build on that effort in this company.

The vote goes to ANGEL'S CALL who suggested he may be on the way back when third at Wolverhampton last month.

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.
