2nd (3) (7/1 -17%) Cuban Cigar
7/1(-17%)
(3) Cuban Cigar 7/1, Well held on handicap hurdle debut at Musselburgh in March and didn't really threaten during a campaign on the level. However, ran creditably reverted to this sphere when third at Perth (16.2f) a month ago. Merits consideration.
3

3.2/1(+54%)
(2) Okavango Delta 3.2/1, Fair and consistent bumper performer who failed to build on a promising hurdles debut last year. Improvement needed on handicap bow after 9 months off.

22/1(-238%)

6/1(+29%)
(9) Moore Clouds 6/1, Winning Irish pointer who has often proved headstrong under Rules so far, though was placed in a mares novice and handicap in the second half of last year. Might have needed the run at Uttoxeter in June, but off a further 118 days since.

7th (7) (16/1 -129%) Game Beaaa
16/1(-129%)
(7) Game Beaaa 16/1, Exceeded expectations when runner-up on first start over hurdles at Tramore in August. Bad mistake 2 out at Down Royal next time and was close up when also making error at the last on stable debut at this C&D 20 days ago. Makes handicap bow.
8th
8th (1) (33/1 -50%) Coolkill
33/1(-50%)

6.5/1(-63%)
(6) Redwood Queen 6.5/1, Confirmed more promising signs of her second at Cartmel (17.2f) in June when opening her account back there the following month. Going okay when unseated rider 2 out at the same course last time. Shortlisted.

5.5/1(-22%)
(2) The Big Board 5.5/1, Off the mark in 6f Leicester maiden in July and has shown even better form in defeat in nurseries since. Should go well again.

4.5/1(+0%)
(3) Yacowlef 4.5/1, Capitalised on the drop in grade to get off the mark in 8-runner minor event (4/9) at Goodwood (6f, good) 13 days ago, by 2¼ lengths from Fierce, keeping on well. More required on handicap debut.
5th
5th (4) (40/1 -150%) Bailey Gate
40/1(-150%)
(4) Bailey Gate 40/1, Fairly useful maiden who was possibly unsuited by conditions when well held in minor event at York (6f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Bounce back needed.
6th

8.5/1(+15%)
(7) Tellateller 8.5/1, Fair maiden who ran respectably when fourth of 9 in minor event at Brighton (8f, soft, 17/2) 9 days ago. Dropped further in trip.
7th
7th (1) (2.5/1 -11%) Batal Dubai
2.5/1(-11%)

80/1(-220%)
(8) Boom Boom Pow 80/1, Fair maiden who was below form back on turf at Haydock (5f) 29 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ralph Beckett. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.
LTO Selection:
13:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(1) Totally Charming 7/1, Looked good when landing handicaps at Lingfield and Epsom earlier this season but tongue strap on for 1st time when below form sixteenth in Cambridgeshire at Newmarket 28 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
2
2nd (2) (22/1 -57%) Bopedro
22/1(-57%)
(2) Bopedro 22/1, Irish Cambridgeshire winner in 2021 who was in good form for his current yard until poor effort at York 15 days ago. Sort to get back on track.
3
3rd (16) (12/1 +33%) Woven
12/1(+33%)
(16) Woven 12/1, It's now 23 runs since his last win in 2020 but he arrives in decent nick, fourth of 11 in 6f handicap at Ayr 16 days ago. Place claims.
4
4th (7) (5/1 +50%) Young Fire
5/1(+50%)
(7) Young Fire 5/1, On a long losing run and well below par at Ascot and York on his last two outings. Others are more persuasive.
5th
5th (8) (14/1 +22%) Eagleway
14/1(+22%)
(8) Eagleway 14/1, Winless since January but he got back on track when second of 13 in 7f handicap at Newcastle 37 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up off an unchanged mark.
6th
6th (9) (8/1 +20%) It Just Takes Time
8/1(+20%)
(9) It Just Takes Time 8/1, Already a four-time winner this year and he posted another good effort when second of 11 in 6f handicap at Pontefract 23 days ago. Solid claims.
7th
7th (12) (5/1 +44%) Master Zoffany
5/1(+44%)
(12) Master Zoffany 5/1, Won at Chester twice last term and he has caught the eye of late, not lasting home over 1m when seventh of 20 at York 15 days ago. Remains on a good mark and merits serious consideration back at 7f.
8th
8th (13) (11/1 +8%) Beautiful Secret
11/1(+8%)
(13) Beautiful Secret 11/1, Low-mileage filly who landed 1m handicap at Yarmouth in August. Has taken her form up a notch since when in the frame at Ascot and Hamilton so she is very much one to consider.
9th
9th (18) (40/1 -43%) Lord Rapscallion
40/1(-43%)
(18) Lord Rapscallion 40/1, Over 2 years without a win but he comes here in good nick, fourth of 15 in amateurs event at Ascot last time. One to consider.

7.5/1(-25%)
(10) Mystery Fox 7.5/1, Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when landing 1m handicap at Goodwood 13 days ago. Up 5 lb but he can't be ruled out with headgear retained.
11th
11th (5) (50/1 -52%) Lion Tower
50/1(-52%)
(5) Lion Tower 50/1, Dual 7f scorer at York and Redcar this summer but he's been below par on his last three starts. Needs a big step forward despite falling in the weights.
12th
12th (11) (6.5/1 +35%) Tomfre
6.5/1(+35%)
(11) Tomfre 6.5/1, Took this contest in 2020 but he's been largely below his best this season. Falling in the weights but he still needs to take a step forward.
13th
13th (4) (50/1 -52%) Abolish
50/1(-52%)
(4) Abolish 50/1, Off the mark for current yard in 6f handicap at Ripon (6f) last month but well held at York since and others more appealing.
14th
14th (17) (16/1 -33%) Cliffcake
16/1(-33%)
(17) Cliffcake 16/1, Enhanced his excellent strike rate in 7f handicap at Thirsk in June. Has posted two solid efforts when fourth over C&D and at Chester since so must enter calculations eased 1 lb.
15th
15th (3) (28/1 -75%) Space Tracker
28/1(-75%)
(3) Space Tracker 28/1, Lightly-raced sort who gained a third win of 2022 in 7f handicap at Newmarket in August. Beat only one in 7f Ascot handicap last time though so plenty more is required.
LTO Selection:
13:20 Doncaster Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(13) Tarawa 2.5/1, Promising sort. Shaped better than the bare result when fifth of 7 in maiden (7/2) at Cork (8f, good to soft) on debut 45 days ago, headed over 1f out having made most (not knocked about). High on the shortlist.
2
2nd (1) (16/1 -14%) Bold As Love
16/1(-14%)
(1) Bold As Love 16/1, Foaled February 9. Deep Impact filly. Half-sister to useful 5f/6f winner Provocateuse. Wears hood.
3
3rd (6) (12/1 +0%) Lambada
12/1(+0%)
(6) Lambada 12/1, 3/1, ran too badly to be true when last of 14 in maiden at Punchestown (7f, good to soft) on debut 39 days ago. No surprise should she leave that effort well behind today.
4
4th (3) (5/1 -67%) High Chieftess
5/1(-67%)
(3) High Chieftess 5/1, 9/1, shaped as if in need of the experience when seventh of 11 in maiden at Gowran (8f, good to soft) on debut 5 weeks ago. Open to improvement.

33/1(+18%)
(5) Lady Christa 33/1, 66/1, sixth of 12 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) on debut 37 days ago. Probably one for later on.

(10) Randall Poets Lass 66/1, Foaled April 22. Urban Poet filly. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner.
7th
7th (14) (14/1 -56%) Wedding Bouquet
14/1(-56%)
(14) Wedding Bouquet 14/1, Foaled February 24. Galileo filly. Closely related to high-class 1¼m-1½m winner Harzand and half-sister to several winners, including smart 1¼m-1½m winner Hazarafa. Dam 7f-9.4f winner. Make obvious paper appeal.
8th
8th (9) (1.75/1 -7%) Pink Sorrel
1.75/1(-7%)
(9) Pink Sorrel 1.75/1, 50/1, third of 14 in maiden at Punchestown (7f, good to soft) on debut 39 days ago. That was a promising start and she's entitled to progress.
9th
9th (11) (16/1 +20%) Sashay
16/1(+20%)
(11) Sashay 16/1, Very green when ninth of 12 in maiden (11/1) at Tipperary (7.5f, good to firm) on debut 57 days ago. Capable of better.
10th
10th (2) (22/1 +33%) Gloves Off
22/1(+33%)
(2) Gloves Off 22/1, Tenth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good, 20/1) on debut 77 days ago, off the bridle before most.

11th (12) (66/1 +18%) Scat Maggie
66/1(+18%)
(12) Scat Maggie 66/1, Twice-raced filly. 100/1, fared no better than on debut after 10 weeks off when sixth of 8 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, heavy) 6 days ago.
12th
12th (8) (33/1 +34%) Pearl Of Malta
33/1(+34%)
(8) Pearl Of Malta 33/1, Seventh of 10 in maiden (33/1) at Killarney (8.1f, soft) on debut 3 weeks ago. This outing should reveal more.
13th
13th (4) (22/1 -38%) Kirikiriroa
22/1(-38%)
(4) Kirikiriroa 22/1, Foaled January 31. Starspangledbanner filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Roudemental. Dam 1½m winner from a very good New Zealand family.
LTO Selection:
13:25 Leopardstown Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
(5) Shearer 3.33/1, Improved in first-time cheekpieces when opening his hurdles account in a 9-runner handicap (3/1) at Newbury in March. Disappointed at Ayr on final outing but quickly back to winning ways at Worcester (23f) on reappearance. Solid contender.
2
2nd (7) (11/1 +39%) Twig
11/1(+39%)
(7) Twig 11/1, Multiple winning pointer who landed a pair of hunter chases for Matthew Hampton back in the spring. Added to his tally in 3-runner handicap at Warwick 16 days ago, though typically looked less than straightforward. Faces a stiff task on hurdles debut.
3
3rd (8) (3.5/1 +50%) The Moon Sea's Me
3.5/1(+50%)
(8) The Moon Sea's Me 3.5/1, Won sole start in points in April and followed up in 12-runner maiden hurdle at Clonmel (16.7f) on Rules debut 23 days ago, despite going in snatches. Will improve.
4
4th (3) (25/1 +24%) No No Maestro
25/1(+24%)
(3) No No Maestro 25/1, Fairly useful chaser who opened his account over hurdles in a 3-runner novice at Worcester (23f, good) in July, well ridden. This is a whole lot tougher.
5th
5th (4) (10/1 +17%) Serious Operator
10/1(+17%)
(4) Serious Operator 10/1, Well held in a couple of bumpers (for Daniel Murphy), but he was successful in 2 of his 3 starts in points and made a winning start over hurdles in likeable fashion at Kelso (20.9f) 20 days ago. That wasn't a particularly strong race but he's open to improvement.
6th
6th (1) (1.25/1 +44%) Rexem
1.25/1(+44%)
(1) Rexem 1.25/1, Bumper winner who has taken very well to hurdling, following up his Downpatrick success with something to spare at Killarney (22.8f) in August. Open to further progress.
LTO Selection:
13:30 Cheltenham Maiden Hurdle (Class
2) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(7) Snake Roll 4/1, £60,000 5-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Dam unraced. Made the frame all 3 starts in Irish points. Watch for market clues.
2
2nd (2) (2.5/1 +0%) Captain Broomfield
2.5/1(+0%)
(2) Captain Broomfield 2.5/1, Brother to very smart chaser Captain Guinness. Won an Irish point and made encouraging start over hurdles when second at Haydock (15.6f) in December. Bled when not in same form at Huntingdon next time. Could do better after 8 months off.
3
3rd (6) (9/1 +25%) Ninetofive
9/1(+25%)
(6) Ninetofive 9/1, Showed more than on debut when third of 9 in bumper at Newcastle in March. Off 7 months. Makes hurdles bow with tongue strap on for 1st time. Bred to be suited by further in time.
4
4th (8) (50/1 -79%) Take Centre Stage
50/1(-79%)
(8) Take Centre Stage 50/1, Some encouragement when fourth of 6 in bumper at Punchestown (20f) on debut and probably needed the run on stable debut 10 months later. Off further 9 months ahead of hurdles bow.
5th
5th (1) (2.5/1 +38%) Call Me Harry
2.5/1(+38%)
(1) Call Me Harry 2.5/1, Landed his first two starts in bumpers comfortably, before being pulled up in the Champion Bumper. Had to carry a double penalty when fourth of 8 at Ayr when last seen 6 months ago. Interesting contender on hurdles bow.
6th
6th (4) (5/1 -25%) Hashtag Lord
5/1(-25%)
(4) Hashtag Lord 5/1, Ran to a fair level first time out when fifth of 25 in novice hurdle at Navan (15.8f) in February. First run for yard after leaving Stuart Crawford. Should improve with Brian Hughes on board for return.
7th
7th (10) (200/1 -700%) Kauto Of Gold
200/1(-700%)
(10) Kauto Of Gold 200/1, Never a threat when fifth of 6 in novice hurdle (14/1) at this C&D on debut 20 days ago. Makes little appeal.
8th
8th (12) (200/1 -506%) Melchoir
200/1(-506%)
(12) Melchoir 200/1, Down the field in a pair of bumpers, eighth of 9 in bumper (15/2) at Musselburgh (16.4f) when last seen 7 months ago. Makes hurdles debut.
9th
9th (11) (100/1 -150%) Size Five
100/1(-150%)
(11) Size Five 100/1, Unplaced sole outing in points. Ninth of 14 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f) on Rules debut 15 days ago. Looks one for the longer term.
10th
10th (3) (80/1 -142%) Franz Josef
80/1(-142%)
(3) Franz Josef 80/1, Maiden Irish pointer who failed to beat a rival in pair of bumpers for Paul Robson. Off 6 months ahead of hurdles debut.

11/1(+31%)
(5) Heros De Moutiers 11/1, £35,000 5-y-o, Creachadoir gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Bilko and 17f-19f chase winner in France Volcaldoune. Dam 1½m winner on Flat in France. Off mark in Irish points at fourth attempt. Yard going well.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (150/1 -275%) Bolt Man
150/1(-275%)
(9) Bolt Man 150/1, Failed to beat a rival at Doncaster on debut but, in a hood, seemingly stepped up on that effort when third of 7 in bumper here in February. Goes hurdling after 8 months off. Bred to need more time.
|PU|
|PU| (13) (150/1 -50%) Paper Tiger
150/1(-50%)
(13) Paper Tiger 150/1, Poor in bumpers and fared no better when last of 5 in novice hurdle at Hexham (20.1f) on hurdles bow. Off 6 months.
|PU|
|PU| (14) (200/1 -203%) Tangiers
200/1(-203%)
(14) Tangiers 200/1, From a successful family but little short-term promise in 2 bumpers earlier this year. Now switches to hurdles after 6 months off.
LTO Selection:
13:40 Kelso Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Knight 10/1, 210,000 gns yearling Mehmas colt who made a winning debut in fine style despite a tardy start and obvious greenness at Yarmouth a month ago. Mixed messages from that form but he's promising in his own right.
2
2nd (4) (4.5/1 +0%) Grey's Monument
4.5/1(+0%)
(4) Grey's Monument 4.5/1, Totally different proposition since fitted with blinkers, improving another chunk when supplementing his Haydock success at York a fortnight ago. That appeals as being the best form on offer.
3
3rd (1) (18/1 +0%) Ancestral Land
18/1(+0%)
(1) Ancestral Land 18/1, Race he finished runner-up in on debut at Windsor worked out well and he did his bit for the form when landing the odds at Chepstow, still green but under hand-and-heels only. Needs to take another jump forward in this company but he's promising.
4
4th (2) (9/1 -13%) Caragio
9/1(-13%)
(2) Caragio 9/1, Very promising start when second of 14 in a C&D novice last month and he looked useful when readily going one better at Leicester 11 days ago. Open to further improvement so he's on the shortlist.
5th
5th (8) (22/1 -38%) Promoter
22/1(-38%)
(8) Promoter 22/1, Clearly derived plenty from debut run when landing 8-runner novice at Chepstow last month. This asks a totally different question of him, though. Engaged 1.25 here Friday.
6th
6th (6) (3/1 +25%) Lord Of Biscay
3/1(+25%)
(6) Lord Of Biscay 3/1, Bred to be smart and took care of the standard-setter under hand riding when making winning debut at Yarmouth a month ago. That race has worked out well and he can leave bare form of that behind.
7th
7th (3) (25/1 -14%) Defence Of Fort
25/1(-14%)
(3) Defence Of Fort 25/1, Backed at big prices prior to making perfect start in 7f novice at Ascot in July. That race franked since and prominent in the betting for the Solario Stakes on the back of it, only to run green and finish fourth.
8th
8th (7) (18/1 +0%) Oviedo
18/1(+0%)
(7) Oviedo 18/1, Winning debut at Doncaster in July and better form when 3¾ lengths third of 9 to Chaldean in Acomb Stakes at York a month later. Failed to give his running in valuable sales race at the Curragh so bounce back is required.
9th
9th (9) (2.25/1 +0%) Striking Star
2.25/1(+0%)
(9) Striking Star 2.25/1, Superbly bred and created a fine impression when a smooth winner at Sandown fitted with a hood last month, well on top at the finish. Could be smart so demands serious respect.
LTO Selection:
13:50 Newbury Group 3 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(7) Queen's Eyot 5/1, Showed improved form in a first-time visor when winning 6-runner nursery at Haydock (7f, heavy, 11/2) 8 days ago. That form needs treating with a degree of caution due to the conditions, but he's still respected as a last-time-out winner.
2
2nd (4) (5/1 +41%) Manifested
5/1(+41%)
(4) Manifested 5/1, Ran just respectably when fourth of 7 in nursery (7/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 17 days ago. Significantly back down in trip.
3
3rd (1) (4/1 +38%) Lion Of War
4/1(+38%)
(1) Lion Of War 4/1, Ready winner of a 7f Leicester maiden on debut and followed up in impressive fashion at Newcastle in June. Had his limitations exposed up in grade since but this is more suitable.
4
4th (3) (3.33/1 -11%) Vecchio
3.33/1(-11%)
(3) Vecchio 3.33/1, Improved further when second of 12 in novice event at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 17 days ago, sticking to task. Into handicaps now and may do better again now stepping up to 7f.
5th
5th (8) (28/1 -12%) War Treaty
28/1(-12%)
(8) War Treaty 28/1, Last of 6 in nursery (10/1) at Redcar (7f, good) 39 days ago. Gelded after. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Others more persuasive.
6th
6th (9) (16/1 -14%) Mrs Trump
16/1(-14%)
(9) Mrs Trump 16/1, Showed ability when runner-up at Beverley (5f) on debut but has gone the wrong way since. Needs to get back on track now venturing into nurseries up in trip.
7th
7th (2) (4/1 +20%) Serious Look
4/1(+20%)
(2) Serious Look 4/1, Off mark at the third attempt in 5-runner novice at Epsom (7f, heavy) in September. Proved unsuited by the test of speed under a penalty at Lingfield (AW) last time, so worth another chance back on turf.
8th
8th (5) (11/1 -22%) Vortigan
11/1(-22%)
(5) Vortigan 11/1, Produced best effort to date when third of 14 in novice event at Ayr (7.2f, good) 37 days ago. Opening mark asks for a bit more, though.
LTO Selection:
13:55 Doncaster Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(9) Mohawk Chief 8.5/1, Highly promising type. Seventh of 12 in maiden at Listowel (7.1f, good, 10/1) on debut 32 days ago. Yard in good form. Has plenty of scope to improve.
2
2nd (8) (1.38/1 +54%) Livio Milo
1.38/1(+54%)
(8) Livio Milo 1.38/1, Promising type. 14/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) on debut 63 days ago, met some trouble. Yard having good spell and he's entitled to do better.
3
3rd (15) (150/1 -275%) Space Age
150/1(-275%)

14:00 Leopardstown Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
(8) Lord Accord 7.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who bettered that form when scoring twice over fences around this time last year. Restricted to just 4 runs since, though recent spin over hurdles should have put him spot on for this.
2
2nd (3) (11/1 -22%) The Wolf
11/1(-22%)
(3) The Wolf 11/1, Strong stayer who found just one too good in the Edinburgh National at Musselburgh in February. Unable to make a telling impact held up in the Scottish National 2 months later and off the track since.
3
3rd (7) (4.5/1 +18%) Captain Cattistock
4.5/1(+18%)
(7) Captain Cattistock 4.5/1, Useful at best for Paul Nicholls and landed big-field hunter for this yard here last April and expertly placed to land a brace of handicaps in early 2022. Revised mark fair-enough and probably won't lack for fitness given yard he represents.
4
4th (10) (8/1 +0%) Motown Maggie
8/1(+0%)
(10) Motown Maggie 8/1, Excellent start over fences in recent weeks, landing 6-runner novice on chase debut last month before keeping on for third over 19.7f at Tipperary. Step back up in trip should suit and likely has more to offer now handicapping.
5th
5th (4) (12/1 +0%) Almazhar Garde
12/1(+0%)
(4) Almazhar Garde 12/1, Profile is starting to look rather patchy found out in a better class of handicap when mid-field in the Kim Muir at the Festival having finished runner-up twice prior to that. Prone to the odd mistake but reappears for yard in excellent form.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (3/1 +0%) The Hollow Ginge
3/1(+0%)
(9) The Hollow Ginge 3/1, Useful at his best but he's without a win since 2020 and out of form when last seen in the spring. Record fresh does offer hope though (runner-up in this a year ago) and he is down in the weights.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (5.5/1 +8%) Coeur Serein
5.5/1(+8%)
(5) Coeur Serein 5.5/1, Useful hurdler/chaser who ran well considering he was caught up in early interference when eighth in the Pertemps Final at the Festival. Every chance there's more to come from him as a chaser this season and mark could be generous on reappearance.
|PU|
|PU| (1) (8/1 +43%) Neville's Cross
8/1(+43%)
(1) Neville's Cross 8/1, Better than ever when forging clear to land 7-runner handicap chase at Bangor in July. Likeable type but up 5 lb against better calibre of opposition.

20/1(-43%)
(6) Organdi 20/1, Race she finished third in at Worcester worked out well and she did her bit for the form when landing 7-runner contest at Warwick a month ago. Up 5 lb but a likeable type and she can give it another good go.

(3) Get With It 4.5/1, Didn't need to improve to finally get off the mark in 6-runner handicap chase at Perth in July. Tied up late after a break last time but can remain competitive at this level.

3.33/1(+26%)
(7) Matchmaking 3.33/1, One-time fairly useful Flat winner who landed back-to-back basement handicaps over hurdles. Checked out tamely in hat-trick bid in June and now goes chasing for successful new yard. Interesting.
3
3rd (1) (2.25/1 +18%) Domandlouis
2.25/1(+18%)
(1) Domandlouis 2.25/1, Bred more for stamina than speed and displayed much-improved form when landing 6-runner novice here in May. Dam from family of yard's Kelso specialist Big River and he's switched straight to a handicap over fences on return. Makes plenty of appeal.
4
4th (4) (20/1 -67%) Ceolwulf
20/1(-67%)
(4) Ceolwulf 20/1, Fair bumper performer but largely underwhelming over hurdles and is now hiked up markedly in trip switched to the larger obstacles.

5th (5) (8/1 -33%) Morningside
8/1(-33%)
(5) Morningside 8/1, Upped his game over fences in 2022, runner-up at Southwell and Kelso early this year. Ran to similar level when fourth at Perth when last seen in May and eased 2 lb since.

10/1(-43%)
(2) Voyburg 10/1, Fair winning hurdler but fitted with cheekpieces and failed to negotiate the first successfully on chase debut 18 days ago. Tongue tie added.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(2) Max Vega 22/1, Got his head back in front when seeing off 6 rivals in the John Porter over C&D in April but has found life tougher since. Likely vulnerable under his penalty again.
2
2nd (1) (0.73/1 +0%) Hamish
0.73/1(+0%)
(1) Hamish 0.73/1, Very smart gelding who resumed with stylish win in Ormonde at Chester (13.5f) in May. Excellent second to Kyprios (pair clear) in the Irish St Leger 4 months later before taking the Cumberland Lodge at Ascot 3 weeks ago. The one to beat.
3
3rd (8) (16/1 +11%) Grand Alliance
16/1(+11%)
(8) Grand Alliance 16/1, Not entirely straightforward but he isn't short of ability, going very close in King Edward at Royal Ascot (1½m) despite hanging badly left in closing stages. Not in same form in the Gordon at Goodwood and Great Voltigeur at York later in the summer. Has been gelded.
4
4th (7) (40/1 +20%) Goolwa
40/1(+20%)
(7) Goolwa 40/1, Useful filly who won a 1¾m Bath listed race last autumn. Creditable 8½ lengths third of 15 to Perfect Alibi in listed race at Yarmouth (1¾m, good to soft) 12 days ago.
5th
5th (3) (14/1 +0%) Euchen Glen
14/1(+0%)
(3) Euchen Glen 14/1, Veteran who has been a tremendous servant to connections. Several creditable efforts this year and won this in 2020, but his losing run goes back a bit now and the suspicion is he'll find a few too strong again.
6th
6th (5) (5.5/1 +8%) Passion And Glory
5.5/1(+8%)
(5) Passion And Glory 5.5/1, Landed a listed event at Sandown in July and was back to form when third of 6 to Siskany in a Newmarket listed 29 days ago. Capable of going well.
7th
7th (4) (4.5/1 +10%) Lone Eagle
4.5/1(+10%)
(4) Lone Eagle 4.5/1, Very smart colt who was beaten by only a neck in last year's Irish Derby. Hasn't been able to reproduce that in only 3 outings since but a player if bouncing back to his best after a further 111 days off.
8th
8th (6) (66/1 +0%) Skycutter
66/1(+0%)
(6) Skycutter 66/1, Dual winner over hurdles last winter and proved better than ever back on Flat when landing a 4-runner Ripon handicap in April. Latest 6 lengths third of 5 in a 2m Newmarket listed shows he's a bit short of the level needed here, though.
LTO Selection:
14:25 Newbury Group 3 (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(2) Israr 3/1, Well-bred colt who knuckled down well to get up close home in the London Gold Cup (Handicap) at Newbury in May. Ran at least as well in defeat when third in King George V Stakes Handicap at Royal Ascot and messy race at latter venue against him latest.
2
2nd (3) (6/1 +14%) Sir Rumi
6/1(+14%)
(3) Sir Rumi 6/1, Down in the weights and created a good impression when a smooth winner of 14-runner handicap at Newbury. Again shaped well at Kempton back over 11f 3 weeks ago and emphasis on stamina here will suit.
3
3rd (4) (18/1 -64%) Forza Orta
18/1(-64%)
(4) Forza Orta 18/1, Excellent second to a smart rival at York's Dante meeting and back at that venue, he resumed winning ways over 11.9f in July. Unable to continue the good work since, albeit set a stiff task in listed company latest.
4
4th (9) (6/1 +20%) Madame Ambassador
6/1(+20%)
(9) Madame Ambassador 6/1, Showed fine attitude when winning 4-runner handicap at Newmarket in August and matched that form when adding to that on the Rowley course 3 weeks ago. Should give it another good go.
5th
5th (7) (20/1 +20%) Geremia
20/1(+20%)
(7) Geremia 20/1, Yet to strike on turf but deserves to do so judged on several good efforts at up to 16.2f this year. Not disgraced when midfield in last month's Cambridgeshire (9f) but tendency to blow the start always a worry with him.
6th
6th (8) (25/1 +0%) Berkshire Rebel
25/1(+0%)
(8) Berkshire Rebel 25/1, Made winning debut at Goodwood last year but lightly raced and pretty disappointing in a light 2022. Blinkers need to spark him up.
7th
7th (1) (9/1 -100%) Moktasaab
9/1(-100%)
(1) Moktasaab 9/1, Hit the ground running for William Knight, scoring at Goodwood and Newbury in April. Far from disgraced in better company since, running right up to form without fully convincing with his application at Newbury last month.
8th
8th (6) (6/1 +45%) Savvy Knight
6/1(+45%)
(6) Savvy Knight 6/1, Won first 3 starts this year and improved again when an excellent fourth in the King George V Stakes (Handicap) at Royal Ascot. Disappointing in the Melrose but much more like it when a keeping-on sixth on the AW latest.
9th
9th (5) (3.33/1 -11%) Wandering Rocks
3.33/1(-11%)
(5) Wandering Rocks 3.33/1, Much improved when opening his account in a 10.2f course novice in July. Couple of modestly-run handicaps against him since and likely has a bigger performance in the locker granted a stiffer test.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(2) Delightful 2/1, Thrice-raced maiden, good second of 8 in maiden (evens) at Thurles (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Much respected on her handicap debut.

5/1(+9%)
(1) Aurifodina 5/1, 7/2, career best when winning 9-runner nursery at this course (8f, soft) 7 days ago, staying on well. Needs considering.

10/1(+0%)
(4) One Boss 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 4/1, good fourth of 10 in maiden at Killarney (8.3f, soft) 12 days ago. Makes handicap debut and not ruled out.

3.33/1(+58%)
(7) Nyota 3.33/1, Progressive maiden. 16/1, good third of 11 in maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Yard having good spell. One to consider on her handicap debut.

4/1(-45%)
(3) Devore 4/1, Promising individual. Career best when winning 11-runner nursery (9/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 27 days ago. Form has been franked so she's a big player.

25/1(-150%)
(6) Distillate 25/1, 7/1, creditable second of 9 in nursery at Naas (5.9f, heavy) 6 days ago. Stable in good form. Solid each-way chance.

12/1(-20%)
(5) Shangrilama 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, good second of 13 in maiden at Thurles (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Considered now going into handicaps.
(2) Pied Piper 0.83/1, Useful on the Flat (sixth in Ascot Stakes in tongue tie) and made a bright start over hurdles last term, bolting up on the new course here in January before a fine third in the Triumph. Battled back to dead-heat with Knight Salute at Aintree next time (subsequently placed second). More to come.
2
2nd (1) (4.5/1 -50%) Knight Salute
4.5/1(-50%)
(1) Knight Salute 4.5/1, Proved a revelation over hurdles last season, his only defeat coming in the Triumph, while he subsequently added to his 3 Grade 2 wins when awarded the Grade 1 Aintree Anniversary (dead-heated with Pied Piper on the day). Strong claims.
3
3rd (5) (4.5/1 +44%) Bella Scintilla
4.5/1(+44%)
(5) Bella Scintilla 4.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France and she made a pleasing start for new yard when landing 17f Killarney novice hurdle 3 weeks ago. Could build on that and unwise to dismiss in receipt of weight.
4
4th (4) (66/1 +0%) Sawbuck
66/1(+0%)
(4) Sawbuck 66/1, Fairly useful hurdler who won 2m Punchestown maiden in May. Seemed to run well when third in the 4-Y-O handicap at Chepstow a fortnight ago but this is much tougher.
5th
5th (3) (5.5/1 +31%) Doctor Parnassus
5.5/1(+31%)
(3) Doctor Parnassus 5.5/1, Fair maiden on the level taking after his half-brother the useful hurdler Metier, winning his first 2 starts in this sphere at the start of the year. Well held in the Triumph and valuable Sandown handicap after but could have more to offer this term.
LTO Selection:

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(3) Sounds Russian 3.5/1, Hasn't looked back since sent over fences, rattling off a hat-trick (two wins here) before signing off with excellent second in 3m Ayr handicap in April. Remains on a winning mark and he's a big player here.
2
2nd (1) (20/1 -150%) Aye Right
20/1(-150%)
(1) Aye Right 20/1, Very smart chaser who finally gained a deserved big handicap win in Rehearsal at Newcastle last November. Faced very stiff task in Cheltenham Gold Cup final start and much respected on his reappearance.
3
3rd (5) (14/1 +44%) Hill Sixteen
14/1(+44%)
(5) Hill Sixteen 14/1, Useful chaser who ended last term in good nick, still close up when hampered and unseated rider 4 out in Scottish Grand National at Ayr in April. Winless since 2020 but he's not ruled out.

4/1(+11%)
(10) Castle Robin 4/1, Ended last season on the up over fences and he returns bidding for a hat-trick after 3m wins at Doncaster and Wetherby in the spring. Can't be dismissed despite being 1 lb out of the handicap.

5th (4) (28/1 -75%) De Rasher Counter
28/1(-75%)
(4) De Rasher Counter 28/1, Very lightly raced since winning Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury in 2019. Not disgraced after a long absence when fourth in Denman Chase at Newbury before unseated rider 8th in Grand National at Aintree in April. Others appeal more.
6th
6th (7) (16/1 -60%) Eva's Oskar
16/1(-60%)
(7) Eva's Oskar 16/1, Made up into a very useful handicap chaser last season and ended his campaign with victory at Exeter (3m) in a first-time visor. Headgear again sported on his return and he ought to be in the shake-up.
7th
7th (6) (14/1 -27%) Big River
14/1(-27%)
(6) Big River 14/1, Veteran staying chaser who is an 8-time course winner (including over hurdles). Signed off for last season with another good effort over C&D so he's no forlorn hope.
8th
8th (8) (6/1 +0%) Bavington Bob
6/1(+0%)
(8) Bavington Bob 6/1, Much improved last season and he completed a 4-timer here in April. Looked rusty after 5 months off when well held in 3m Perth handicap on return and no surprise to see him bounce back now.
|F|
|F| (2) (5/1 -43%) Does He Know
5/1(-43%)
(2) Does He Know 5/1, Made up into a smart novice chaser last term when a three-time winner, including in Ascot Grade 2. Well held in Ultima Handicap at Cheltenham final start but has since had a wind op and expected to bounce back on his return.
|U|
|U| (9) (6/1 +50%) Rapid Flight
6/1(+50%)
(9) Rapid Flight 6/1, Already a five-time winner this season at Cartmel, recording a career best in 3m1f handicap chase there in August. Up another 6 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood.

(10) Opera Forever 2.25/1, No Nay Never filly who offered little when eighth of 14 in minor event at this course (7f, good) on debut just over 5 weeks ago, not persevered with once held. Could leave that effort behind today.

3.5/1(-56%)
(9) Mochi 3.5/1, Acclamation filly who knew her job and went close on debut when second of 10 in minor event at Kempton (7f) earlier this month. Sure to improve so she's a must for the shortlist.

7.5/1(+32%)
(5) Dandelion Time 7.5/1, Foaled February 16. Time Test filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 2-y-o 1m winner Trefoil and 1m-1½m winner Desert Sage, both useful.

7th
7th (3) (22/1 -10%) Charming Lily

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Legend Of Xanadu 12/1, Highlight of busy campaign came when successful in the Woodcote at Epsom (6f) in June. Back up to 7f, again shaped as if back in form when fourth in minor event at York 15 days ago. Return to shorter trip may suit, but faces stiff task.

1.5/1(+0%)
(1) Aesop's Fables 1.5/1, Ready winner of 6f Navan maiden and Futurity Stakes at the Curragh. Has failed to meet expectations at Group 1 level both starts since, 7¼ lengths fourth of 7 Chaldean in the Dewhurst 2 weeks ago. Can get back on track down in grade.

(2) Wodao 12/1, Has won 2 of his 7 starts, enjoying run of the race when narrowly landing listed race at Tipperary (5f) in June. After 3 months off, didn't settle fully when below form in Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket 15 days ago. More needed.
4
4th (5) (5/1 -67%) Hispanic
5/1(-67%)
(5) Hispanic 5/1, In first-time blinkers dropped to 5f, proved a different proposition when wide-margin winner of maiden at the Curragh 9 days ago, quickening clear under 2f out having travelled strongly. Can build on that effort back in trip.
5th
5th (4) (2.75/1 +50%) Bresson
2.75/1(+50%)
(4) Bresson 2.75/1, Yet to finish outside of the top 3, opening account in minor event at Yarmouth in August. In cheekpieces, improved when finding only a smart prospect too strong at Salisbury last time. Blinkers now the choice of headgear. Respected.
6th
6th (9) (40/1 +39%) Sophia's Starlight
40/1(+39%)
(9) Sophia's Starlight 40/1, Shaped well when third of 14 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) on debut 80 days ago, finishing strongly having been caught further back than ideal. However, looks to be up against it in this company.
7th
7th (8) (12/1 +14%) Simple Man
12/1(+14%)
(8) Simple Man 12/1, Rare winning-debutant for his trainer when successful in Nottingham maiden (5f) 24 days ago, looking a useful sprinter in the making. Interesting contender with progress to come.

25/1(-25%)
(7) Secret Guest 25/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning maiden at Beverley (5f) in July, overcoming unfavourable draw with a bit in hand. Up in trip as he returns from 112 days off. Tough ask.

(13) Freedom Of Speech 40/1, Fairly useful filly. Creditable 5½ lengths seventh of 18 to Toy in listed race (125/1) at Naas (8f, heavy) 6 days ago, never nearer. Difficult ask.

(14) Sunset Shiraz 2.75/1, Useful filly. Good ½-length second of 18 to Toy in listed race at Naas (8f, heavy, 10/1) 6 days ago, having to pick way through. Can make presence felt.

5/1(+58%)
(4) Cosmic Vega 5/1, Useful gelding. Course winner. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (6/1) at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 21 days ago, easily. This asks a different question.

12/1(+0%)
(3) Casanova 12/1, Useful gelding. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form thirteenth of 20 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to soft, 40/1) 7 days ago. Stable having good spell.

11th
11th (1) (14/1 -40%) Lust
14/1(-40%)
(1) Lust 14/1, Smart gelding. Career best when winning 6-runner listed race at Naas (7f, good to firm, 5/2) by 1¼ lengths from Diadora, driven out. Off 160 days. Expected to be bang there.
12th
12th (11) (16/1 +0%) Marcher Lord
16/1(+0%)
(11) Marcher Lord 16/1, Winner at Navan on debut in August. Better form when third of 8 in minor event at Gowran (7f, good to soft, 9/2) 35 days ago. Open to improvement.
(6) Dads Lad 3.5/1, Has got his career right back on track since sent chasing and landed 2m1f handicap at Killarney in August in great style. Not discredited back hurdling when fifth at Listowel last time and he's a player.
2
2nd (7) (6/1 +25%) Effernock Fizz
6/1(+25%)
(7) Effernock Fizz 6/1, Very useful front-running hurdler who showed a good attitude when making all in 2m handicap at Ffos Las 13 days ago. Yet to score over fences though so this demands more.
3
3rd (1) (6/1 -100%) Editeur Du Gite
6/1(-100%)
(1) Editeur Du Gite 6/1, Improved into a very smart front-running chaser last season when a dual winner here and also fourth in the Grand Annual at the Festival. Yard going well so he needs considering on his return.
4
4th (3) (6/1 +0%) The Widdow Maker
6/1(+0%)
(3) The Widdow Maker 6/1, Useful hurdler who has taken his form up a notch since sent chasing, scoring at Exeter and posting good third in Aintree Grade 1 in April. Has scope for further progress over fences. Well in the mix.

8.5/1(+47%)
(5) El Borracho 8.5/1, Likeable sort who completed his hat-trick in 3-runner handicap chase at Wetherby (15.2f) 10 days ago. This is tougher but he can't be dismissed.
6th
6th (2) (2.75/1 +31%) Clear The Runway
2.75/1(+31%)
(2) Clear The Runway 2.75/1, Highly progressive front-running hurdler/chaser who completed a 5-timer in 2m handicap chase at Worcester last month. Has still more to offer so is not taken lightly despite another 7 lb rise in the weights.
|PU|
|PU| (4) (8.5/1 +0%) Poseidon
8.5/1(+0%)
(4) Poseidon 8.5/1, Useful Irish hurdler who matched that form in this sphere when getting off the mark at Cork last October. Well held back hurdling at Galway on his final run for Charles Byrnes in July and no surprise to see him take a step forward for his new yard here.
LTO Selection:
15:15 Cheltenham Handicap Chase (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(3) Lock Down Luke 3.2/1, Rallied to get off the mark over the extended 2¾m trip at this track in May and shaped a bit better than the distance beaten suggested when well held in his follow-up bid at Cartmel a month later, racing closer to the pace than ideal. Needs to hit the ground running on return.
2
2nd (5) (1.75/1 +50%) Bollingerandkrug
1.75/1(+50%)
(5) Bollingerandkrug 1.75/1, Won twice here in 2020/21 but failed to add to tally in a light campaign last season. Unable to land a blow over 22.7f back in May but took a major step back in the right direction on return when finishing a close third over C&D 3 weeks ago. Solid claims.
3
3rd (7) (4.5/1 -29%) Les's Legacy
4.5/1(-29%)
(7) Les's Legacy 4.5/1, Had some decent bits and pieces of form to his name and put it all together at the twelfth attempt over timber at Hexham back in May (16.2f, good to soft). Had plenty in hand that day and fancied to close if ready to roll on reappearance.
4
4th (4) (5/1 +44%) Scots Poet
5/1(+44%)
(4) Scots Poet 5/1, Stratford bumper winner who was runner-up in a C&D novice on his third start over hurdles in December and progressed again after 4 months off when winning novice at Sedgefield in May. Fair efforts in handicaps last couple of starts and may well come on from his recent return.
5th
5th (9) (20/1 +29%) My Macho Man
20/1(+29%)
(9) My Macho Man 20/1, Long-standing maiden over hurdles who seemed to excel himself in novice company twice during the spring but unable to match that when well held from 9 lb out of the weights over C&D earlier this month. Headgear back on but tough to warm to.
6th
6th (2) (16/1 -146%) Astroman
16/1(-146%)
(2) Astroman 16/1, Fair winner on the Flat (stays 1½m) who has matched that form over hurdles. Fourth in a Market Rasen handicap at the start of July but disappointing at Uttoxeter 3 weeks later. Visor applied for new yard today but long losing run is worrying.
7th
7th (8) (28/1 -75%) Ultra Violet
28/1(-75%)
(8) Ultra Violet 28/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France but form over hurdles looks muddling and probably remains best watched returning from 6 months off the track.
LTO Selection:
15:23 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(7) Magical Sunset 5.5/1, Made it 2-4 with emphatic success in 6f minor event at Leicester 11 days ago. This return to 7f should suit so she's no forlorn hope.
2
2nd (6) (12/1 -71%) Fully Wet
12/1(-71%)
(6) Fully Wet 12/1, Promising Kodiac filly who bounced back from poor run in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot with emphatic success in 7f Chelmsford novice last month. Has more to offer. In the mix.
3
3rd (5) (50/1 +24%) Direct Security
50/1(+24%)
(5) Direct Security 50/1, Confirmed debut promise when landing 12-runner minor event at Kempton (8f) 24 days ago (second past the post but subsequently promoted). This is a tough ask, however.
4
4th (8) (12/1 +14%) Secret Solace
12/1(+14%)
(8) Secret Solace 12/1, Gleneagles filly who built on her debut third when taking 12-runner minor event at Salisbury (7f) 23 days ago, battling well. Should have more to offer.
5th
5th (4) (33/1 -18%) Cathy Come Home
33/1(-18%)
(4) Cathy Come Home 33/1, Debut winner at Musselburgh in May. Creditable third of 6 to Magical Sunset in 6f conditions event at Leicester 11 days ago so she's no forlorn hope.
6th
6th (10) (10/1 +0%) Tagline
10/1(+0%)
(10) Tagline 10/1, Winner at Windsor in June and better form when hitting the frame in listed/Group3 level after, fourth of 11 to Midnight Mile in Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket (7f) last time. Enters calculations.
7th
7th (1) (50/1 -79%) Balalaika
50/1(-79%)
(1) Balalaika 50/1, Confirmed debut promise when 20/1-winner of 7-runner maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) 26 days ago, despite racing keenly. This demands plenty more though.
8th
8th (2) (8.5/1 +15%) Bonny Angel
8.5/1(+15%)
(2) Bonny Angel 8.5/1, Fairly useful filly who bagged nurseries at Leicester and Doncaster before good 2¼ lengths sixth of 12 to Barefoot Angel in Firth of Clyde Stakes at Ayr (6f) 35 days ago. Needs considering.
9th
9th (9) (2/1 -45%) Small Oasis
2/1(-45%)
(9) Small Oasis 2/1, Impressive Curragh maiden winner who took another step forward when ¾-length third of 11 to Midnight Mile in Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket (7f) on her final run for Michael Grassick. Lost a shoe there and has more improvement to come, so leading claims for new yard.
10th
10th (3) (16/1 -33%) Candle Of Hope
16/1(-33%)
(3) Candle Of Hope 16/1, Course winner who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 8 to Fairy Cross in Prestige Stakes at Goodwood (7f) 56 days ago. Considered.
11th
11th (11) (4/1 +50%) Wyoming
4/1(+50%)
(11) Wyoming 4/1, Motivator filly who scored on her debut at Windsor before posting an excellent second of 14 in conditions event over C&D last month. That form is working out well so she's very much one to consider.
LTO Selection:
15:30 Newbury Listed (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(1) Auguste Rodin 2.25/1, Unlucky on debut and has made no mistake in his 2 outings since, latterly producing a smart performance to win a 1m Leopardstown Group 2. Top prospect with more to come and leading claims for trainer seeking a remarkable eleventh success in this race.
2
2nd (4) (3/1 +14%) Epictetus
3/1(+14%)
(4) Epictetus 3/1, Kingman colt who made a winning start to his career in a strong 7f maiden at the Newmarket July meeting. Confirmed he's a really good prospect when neck second to Silver Knott in a 1m Group 3 on the Rowley course there 3 months later. Definitely more to come and the chief threat to Auguste Rodin.
3
3rd (5) (4.5/1 +55%) Holloway Boy
4.5/1(+55%)
(5) Holloway Boy 4.5/1, Sprung a 40/1 surprise in the Chesham at Royal Ascot on debut and has shown that was no fluke with placed efforts at pattern level on his 3 outings since. Epictetus was 1¾ lengths ahead of him in a Newmarket Group 3 last time, though, so he'll need to pull out more for a first-time visor.
4
4th (3) (14/1 +44%) Dancing Magic
14/1(+44%)
(3) Dancing Magic 14/1, Yet to win but has achieved useful form, finishing second in a Haydock listed before fourth (Epictetus second, Holloway Boy third) in Newmarket Group 3. More a place than win contender.
5th
5th (7) (7/1 +22%) Salt Lake City
7/1(+22%)
(7) Salt Lake City 7/1, Disappointed in the Convivial maiden at the York Ebor meeting but quickly back on track when a 5-length winner over 1m at Navan 17 days ago. Auguste Rodin has to be considered the stable first string but this son of Galileo should have more to offer.
6th
6th (2) (40/1 +20%) Captain Wierzba
40/1(+20%)
(2) Captain Wierzba 40/1, Won a Ffos Las novice over an extended 7f in August. 11/1, didn't get the chance to show what he could do pitched into a 1m Group 3 at Saint-Cloud 5 weeks later, with his jockey shoved out of the side door before halfway.
7th
7th (6) (12/1 +0%) King Of Steel
12/1(+0%)
(6) King Of Steel 12/1, Fast-tracked to Group 1 level after an impressive debut success at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) 10 days ago. Open to considerable improvement and not to be underestimated.
8th
8th (8) (7/1 +42%) Stormbuster
7/1(+42%)
(8) Stormbuster 7/1, Second in a 1m Salisbury listed before producing a useful effort to get off the mark in a 1m Newbury novice last month. This demands a fair bit more but he may be up to it.
LTO Selection:
15:35 Doncaster Group 1 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(2) Saltonstall 6/1, Won 14-runner handicap (16/1) at Tipperary (9f, soft) 20 days ago, sticking to task. Yard having good spell. Should continue to give a good account.
2
2nd (15) (20/1 +20%) Soilse
20/1(+20%)
(15) Soilse 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in handicap (13/2) at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.
3
3rd (12) (10/1 +17%) Excuzio Joe
10/1(+17%)
(12) Excuzio Joe 10/1, Latest win at Galway in July. 8/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Listowel (9f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
4
4th (8) (6.5/1 +64%) Joe Masseria
6.5/1(+64%)
(8) Joe Masseria 6.5/1, Latest win at Galway in July. Twenty-first of 22 in handicap (18/1) at the Curragh (10f, heavy) 41 days ago.
5th
5th (1) (4/1 -78%) Toshizou
4/1(-78%)
(1) Toshizou 4/1, Good second of 9 in handicap (10/3) at Limerick (8f, good), faring best of those held up. Off 6 months. Yard having good spell. Another bold show likely.

6th (6) (18/1 -50%) Comfort Line
18/1(-50%)
(6) Comfort Line 18/1, Latest win at Navan in August. 16/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 15 days ago. Can make presence felt.
7th
7th (9) (20/1 +20%) Walhaan
20/1(+20%)
(9) Walhaan 20/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2018. First run since leaving James Tate when fifteenth of 18 in handicap (20/1) at the Curragh (7f, good to soft). Off 155 days.

16/1(-33%)
(13) Timourid 16/1, Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap (10/1) at Dundalk (8f) 15 days ago. Stepping back in the right direction.

(7) Quizical 7/1, C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2019. 16/1, respectable 3½ lengths seventh of 14 to Saltonstall in handicap at Tipperary (9f, soft) 20 days ago.
10th
10th (4) (16/1 -33%) Dante's Pass
16/1(-33%)
(4) Dante's Pass 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. 7 lengths fourteenth of 16 to Neptune Rock in listed race at Listowel (9f, good, 14/1) 32 days ago. Yard in good form. Tongue strap on 1st time.

22/1(+0%)
(10) Shanghai Dragon 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. 10/1, last of 11 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 33 days ago. Yard in good form.
12th
12th (14) (8/1 +33%) Eighty Eight
8/1(+33%)
(14) Eighty Eight 8/1, Respectable seventh of 19 in handicap (22/1) at the Curragh (8f, soft) 14 days ago. Stable in good form. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
13th
13th (5) (9/1 +0%) Spanish Tenor
9/1(+0%)
(5) Spanish Tenor 9/1, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Naas (5.9f, heavy) 6 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Stable in good form. One for the shortlist.
14th
14th (3) (18/1 +18%) Lexington Dash
18/1(+18%)
(3) Lexington Dash 18/1, Latest win at Fairyhouse in July. 80/1, below form eleventh of 18 in handicap at this course (7f, soft) 42 days ago. Dropped to a handy mark.
(18) Ted's Friend 66/1, Fairly useful hurdler who was back to winning ways in a 23f Worcester handicap last month. Creditable third at Bangor since but he has to race from 3 lb out of the weights here.
1
1st (14) (2.25/1 +63%) Shoot First
2.25/1(+63%)
(14) Shoot First 2.25/1, Winner at Tipperary in June and shaped very well when second of 17 at Galway 4 weeks later. Not in anything like the same form at Listowel last month but no surprise were he to resume his progression, particularly if the betting speaks for him.
2
2nd (3) (4.5/1 +18%) Botox Has
4.5/1(+18%)
(3) Botox Has 4.5/1, Showed improved form to win Grade 2 National Spirit at Fontwell when last seen in February. Won at this meeting on his 2020 reappearance. The handicapper could have taken a higher view of the Fontwell form and he's much respected on return.
3
3rd (8) (8/1 -7%) An Tailliur
8/1(-7%)
(8) An Tailliur 8/1, Went from strength to strength in handicap hurdles last season, winning a remarkable 7 times. Another good run when second at Cartmel (25f) in May and likely to be very competitive if resuming in similar form.
4
4th (1) (12/1 -41%) Salvador Ziggy
12/1(-41%)
(1) Salvador Ziggy 12/1, Progressive hurdler who made it 4-4 since joining Gordon Elliott when just holding on in a Down Royal conditions event in August. This much his stiffest assignment yet but it's likely he has more to offer for this stable.
5th
5th (4) (80/1 -142%) Macgiloney
80/1(-142%)
(4) Macgiloney 80/1, Bagged a 3m handicap at Listowel last month. Not in the same form when seventh at Gowran since. Others look better treated.
6th
6th (10) (20/1 -43%) Silver Sheen
20/1(-43%)
(10) Silver Sheen 20/1, Good second at Fairyhouse in April and had an excuse (ridden too aggressively) when pulled up at Punchestown 10 days later. Has left Jessica Harrington. One to note in the betting on return for new handler Fergal O'Brien.
7th
7th (15) (6.5/1 +24%) Panic Attack
6.5/1(+24%)
(15) Panic Attack 6.5/1, Reacted very well to a blinkers and tongue tie combination in the spring, winning over 2½m here before a good second over 3m at Haydock. Contender if resuming in similar form.
8th
8th (11) (40/1 +20%) Skandiburg
40/1(+20%)
(11) Skandiburg 40/1, Four-time hurdle winner for Olly Murphy. Posted much his best effort for this yard when second at Warwick in March. Down the field on recent Uttoxeter reappearance, though.
9th
9th (16) (14/1 +22%) Moon King
14/1(+22%)
(16) Moon King 14/1, No impact in 2 Flat starts this summer but different story back hurdling at Worcester at the end of August, winning a 6-runner 23f handicap. May find life tougher in this more competitive race, particularly as his jumping sometimes lacks fluency.
10th
10th (7) (16/1 -14%) Streets Of Doyen
16/1(-14%)
(7) Streets Of Doyen 16/1, Mixed hurdling and chasing this season, performing with credit on most occasions, including fifth over 3m at Gowran 3 weeks ago on his first outing for a new stable.
11th
11th (6) (14/1 +0%) The Real Whacker
14/1(+0%)
(6) The Real Whacker 14/1, Left hurdling debut form behind to run out a surprise winner of maiden at Carlisle in December but showed that was no fluke when second in a 3m Doncaster Grade 2 7 weeks later. Unexposed now switching to handicap company on his return to action.
12th
12th (17) (40/1 +0%) Story Rory
40/1(+0%)
(17) Story Rory 40/1, Pair of wins in Ireland this summer and another good effort when third of 15 over 2½m at Listowel last month. This is tougher but he's unexposed at the trip.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (12/1 +33%) Lieutenant Highway
12/1(+33%)
(5) Lieutenant Highway 12/1, Front-runner who won his first 4 starts this season, including a Bellewstown handicap. Winning run came to a halt in a useful conditions race at Listowel last month but he still performed with credit in third. Wouldn't be sure to benefit from this longer trip.
|PU|
|PU| (13) (25/1 +0%) Kansas City Chief
25/1(+0%)
(13) Kansas City Chief 25/1, Veteran with a very good course record, winning this race and another competitive handicap (both under Victoria Malzard) for Neil Mulholland last season. Off 7 months, beaten only 6 lengths when last of 5 on recent Wetherby return/yard debut. Should be sharper now (regular cheekpieces also back on).
|PU|
|PU| (2) (50/1 -52%) Mac Tottie
50/1(-52%)
(2) Mac Tottie 50/1, Won 2 races over the National fences at Aintree last season. Has his first hurdle start since 2019 here and surely a chance he's using this as a pipe-opener ahead of a return to Liverpool.
LTO Selection:
15:50 Cheltenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(3) Corrigeen Rock 2.5/1, Point winner who made a successful start over hurdles on this card last year and showed better form in defeat later in the season. 11/10, fell fifth on Perth chase debut/reappearance but remains the type to do better over fences.
2
2nd (1) (5/1 +23%) Gladiatorial
5/1(+23%)
(1) Gladiatorial 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler but has yet convince with his jumping over fences. Would have finished second but for a late unseat at Sedgefield last time but he comes with risks attached.

3rd (7) (25/1 -56%) Treshnish
25/1(-56%)
(7) Treshnish 25/1, Hexham specialist who was performing no more than respectably when last seen in the spring. Stable has yet to really get going and got to be a chance he'll need the run.
4
4th (8) (2.5/1 +25%) Edmond Dantes
2.5/1(+25%)
(8) Edmond Dantes 2.5/1, Made a successful chase debut at Market Rasen in February. Going well when falling 3 out at Newcastle next time and further progress when runner-up on final 2 starts. Speedy enough to cope with the return to a shorter trip and could have more offer this season.
5th
5th (4) (18/1 -80%) Lake Takapuna
18/1(-80%)
(4) Lake Takapuna 18/1, C&D winner but absent since finishing a close second over C&D in May 2021. Has had wind surgery. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations.
6th
6th (2) (8.5/1 -89%) Point Him Out
8.5/1(-89%)
(2) Point Him Out 8.5/1, Fairly useful at up to 9f on the Flat in the US and made it third time lucky over hurdles at Stratford (2m) in March. Similar form when second in 2m novice at Huntingdon the following month. Makes handicap/chase debut on his return to action.
7th
7th (6) (5/1 +17%) Hello Judge
5/1(+17%)
(6) Hello Judge 5/1, Won a course novice hurdle on Rules debut in April 2021. Failed to build on that in 2 outings last autumn but returns as an unexposed sort. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him now switching to fences.
8th
8th (5) (40/1 -100%) Ingleby Mackenzie
40/1(-100%)
(5) Ingleby Mackenzie 40/1, Fair handicap chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but well held all 4 starts this season, including for new yard latest. Something to prove for now.
LTO Selection:
16:00 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(10) Fast Response 4.5/1, Built on her previous 2 placed efforts when gaining a first handicap success at Nottingham (5f) 10 days ago. Task is now to back up her latest effort in this stronger company.
2
2nd (4) (8.5/1 +6%) Designer
8.5/1(+6%)
(4) Designer 8.5/1, Better than ever when winning 17-runner handicap at York in August and ran creditably when 1½ lengths fifth of 10 in listed race at Ascot 3 weeks ago. Has good value 5-lb claimer on board back in handicap company.
3
3rd (3) (10/1 +29%) Whenthedealinsdone
10/1(+29%)
(3) Whenthedealinsdone 10/1, Back to form when comfortably winning handicap at Ascot last month. Perhaps found the Portland here (5/1 favourite) coming too soon 8 days later and ran better when fourth back at Ascot 3 weeks ago. More needed.
4
4th (13) (6.5/1 -8%) Lullaby Bay
6.5/1(-8%)
(13) Lullaby Bay 6.5/1, Completed quick-fire hat-trick switched to handicaps in May. Found it tough in her 2 attempts in listed company since, but produced a career best when collared only close home in minor event at Musselburgh 12 days ago. Major player.
5th
5th (1) (14/1 -133%) Came From The Dark
14/1(-133%)
(1) Came From The Dark 14/1, Won 2 of his 4 starts last season, including Sandown Group 3. After 4 months off/second wind op, ran better than previously this year when 3 lengths eighth of 10 in listed race at Ascot last time. Could bounce back in a handicap.
6th
6th (6) (9/1 -64%) Kimngrace
9/1(-64%)
(6) Kimngrace 9/1, Career best when winning 15-runner handicap at York 15 days ago by 3 lengths from Vintage Clarets, impressing with the way she put the race to bed in the final furlong. Could still have more to offer.
7th
7th (9) (16/1 -33%) Nomadic Empire
16/1(-33%)
(9) Nomadic Empire 16/1, Having dropped further in the weights, got back on track when fourth in the Portland here last month. Shaped better than result when third at Haydock next time, prior to a below-par run at York 15 days ago. Cheekpieces reapplied.
8th
8th (11) (5/1 +23%) Count D'orsay
5/1(+23%)
(11) Count D'orsay 5/1, Hasn't won since 2020, but shaped as if back in form from a poor draw when fifth of 15 in handicap at Catterick 7 days ago, first home in group. Finished third in the Portland last month and can give his running again.
9th
9th (8) (3.5/1 +59%) Vintage Clarets
3.5/1(+59%)
(8) Vintage Clarets 3.5/1, Has worked his way back to form this year, again running well when finding only a thriving sort too strong in handicap at Catterick a week ago. Can give another good account.
10th
10th (12) (22/1 +33%) Sunday Sovereign
22/1(+33%)
(12) Sunday Sovereign 22/1, Yet to score in 2022 and form has gone the wrong way on his last 2 starts, finishing down the field both outings in September. Blinkered for 1st time. Others more persuasive.
11th
11th (7) (14/1 +36%) Copper Knight
14/1(+36%)
(7) Copper Knight 14/1, 8-y-o who returned to his best when successful at Chester in June. Has struggled for form since, but there have been better signs in cheekpieces on his last 2 starts. Winner of this race last year off an 8 lb higher mark.
12th
12th (2) (66/1 -136%) Justanotherbottle
66/1(-136%)
(2) Justanotherbottle 66/1, Admirable 8-y-o who enhanced his fine course record at Ripon when successful there in June. However, has been hit and miss since, finishing last of 5 in minor event at Musselburgh 12 days ago. Others preferred.
13th
13th (5) (40/1 -43%) Tolstoy
40/1(-43%)
(5) Tolstoy 40/1, Won handicap at Chelmsford (6f) in June on final start for John & Thady Gosden. Has run below form both starts since for his new yard, so has enough to prove at present.
LTO Selection:
16:10 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(1) Mujtaba 2.5/1, Back on track when landing a 1¼m Doncaster handicap in good style last month. Shade disappointing when only eighth in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (9f, good) where he was behind Dual Identity and Caradoc, but it's nevertheless hard to omit this 4-y-o from calculations.
2
2nd (3) (10/1 +9%) Fantastic Fox
10/1(+9%)
(3) Fantastic Fox 10/1, Successful twice last season and good third in a 1m Epsom handicap on Oaks day. However, shaped as though amiss at Royal Ascot when last seen in June and while this trip should be within range, he now has a bit to prove.
3
3rd (7) (6.5/1 -63%) Magisterial
6.5/1(-63%)
(7) Magisterial 6.5/1, Frankel colt from an excellent family and looked good when landing a Leicester novice over this trip on return in April. Absent since finishing last of 11 in the Dante (gelded in the interim) but remains unexposed and needs a second look with cheekpieces enlisted for this handicap debut.
4
4th (13) (3.5/1 +75%) Vanity Affair
3.5/1(+75%)
(13) Vanity Affair 3.5/1, Completed a hat-trick in first half of 2021 and proved at least as good as ever after 8 weeks off when runner-up at Kempton in August. Again found just one too good at Haydock (11.6f, good) last time but this looks tough given that he's 5 lb 'wrong' at the weights.
5th
5th (8) (2.5/1 +50%) Jimi Hendrix
2.5/1(+50%)
(8) Jimi Hendrix 2.5/1, Excellent third in the Britannia at Royal Ascot prior to narrowly landing a 1m handicap at Newmarket in July. However, he has failed to fire the last twice, including when behind a few of these in the Cambridgeshire, and needs to bounce back.
6th
6th (9) (25/1 -25%) Alexander James
25/1(-25%)
(9) Alexander James 25/1, Dual winner on the AW last winter but yet to strike off a mark this high and faces a tall order here following 9 months off.
7th
7th (5) (150/1 -200%) Gyllen
150/1(-200%)
(5) Gyllen 150/1, Smart performer on the Flat in France but latest appearance in this sphere was back in August 2019 and subsequent efforts over hurdles for Tim Vaughan suggest that he's not the force of old. Blinkers enlisted on debut for new yard and he's hard to warm to.
8th
8th (11) (12/1 -20%) Spirit Of The Bay
12/1(-20%)
(11) Spirit Of The Bay 12/1, Completed an impressive 4-timer last year and more good efforts than bad ones to her name this year. Wasn't entirely disgraced in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Kempton last time but, on the downside, she remains 6 lb above her last winning mark.
LTO Selection:
16:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(6) Speirling Beag 25/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Gowran in September. Creditable 2½ lengths third of 7 to Lumiere Rock in Staffordstown Stud Stakes at the Curragh (8f, soft, 20/1) 14 days ago. Yard has a good record in this race.
2
2nd (2) (1.75/1 +65%) Hiawatha
1.75/1(+65%)
(2) Hiawatha 1.75/1, Useful form. Unsuited by drop in trip when eleventh of 19 in sales race at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 10/3) 28 days ago. Should find this test more suitable. Big player under Billy Lee.
3
3rd (7) (14/1 +13%) Village Voice
14/1(+13%)
(7) Village Voice 14/1, 11/2, won 13-runner maiden at Thurles (8f, soft) on debut 16 days ago, cosily. This a jump in class but she's open to improvement.
4
4th (1) (4.5/1 +36%) Gulf Of Mexico
4.5/1(+36%)
(1) Gulf Of Mexico 4.5/1, Thrice-raced winner. 5/2, won 10-runner maiden at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 21 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. More to come from him.
5th
5th (4) (2.25/1 +25%) Mister Mister
2.25/1(+25%)
(4) Mister Mister 2.25/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 13-runner maiden at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 5/2) 35 days ago, soon clear. Yard in good form. Should improve.
LTO Selection:
16:20 Leopardstown Group 3 9f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
(2) Chemical Energy 4/1, Useful form in bumpers and over hurdles, and duly left chase debut well behind when landing a Listowel novice chase (17f, good) last month. Likely to go on to better things in this sphere but stamina to prove here (untried beyond 2¾m).
2
2nd (5) (1.88/1 +46%) Mahler Mission
1.88/1(+46%)
(5) Mahler Mission 1.88/1, Quickly made up into a useful novice hurdler last season, winner of a Grade 2 at Doncaster in January and Perth listed event in April. No concerns stamina-wise and will be a danger to all if his jumping passes the test now tackling fences.
3
3rd (3) (0.91/1 +27%) Life In The Park
0.91/1(+27%)
(3) Life In The Park 0.91/1, Dual hurdles winner during the spring and perfect start over fences when landing a Listowel maiden (2¾m, good) last month. Promises to be suited by this step up in trip and he's an exciting prospect.
LTO Selection:
16:25 Cheltenham Maiden Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(3) Heritier 3.33/1, Bolted up on chase debut at Market Rasen in March and while it would be fair to say that he's failed to build on that in 3 subsequent starts, a bold show here would be no surprise whatsoever.
2
2nd (6) (4/1 +53%) Bak Rocky
4/1(+53%)
(6) Bak Rocky 4/1, Encouraging signs initially for this yard last season but it was downhill thereafter. Sizeable step forward needed now switched to fences on the back of a 6-month break (has undergone a wind op).
3
3rd (1) (6/1 -33%) Travail D'Orfevre
6/1(-33%)
(1) Travail D'Orfevre 6/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who opened hurdles account in a first-time tongue strap (retained) here (2¼m, good to soft) when last seen in April. Definite chance provided he takes to fences at the first attempt.
4
4th (2) (8/1 -23%) Spark Of Madness
8/1(-23%)
(2) Spark Of Madness 8/1, Winning start over fences in a 3-runner novices' handicap at Perth (2m, good to soft) in May. Trailed in last of 4 on return over that C&D last month but likely to strip fitter this time.
5th
5th (9) (25/1 +0%) Deerfoot
25/1(+0%)
(9) Deerfoot 25/1, Poor maiden hurdler/chaser and looks set for another struggle from 5 lb out of the weights.
6th
6th (4) (14/1 -40%) North Parade
14/1(-40%)
(4) North Parade 14/1, Found some fluency when opening hurdles account in a Sedgefield handicap (17f, soft) in March. However, jumping issues subsequently resurfaced, which doesn't augur well now that he's switched to the larger obstacles.
7th
7th (10) (22/1 +33%) Old Jewry
22/1(+33%)
(10) Old Jewry 22/1, Well held all 3 starts over hurdles since returning from a break last month and opposable back in this sphere from 6 lb out of the handicap.
8th
8th (5) (16/1 -45%) Duty Calls
16/1(-45%)
(5) Duty Calls 16/1, Dual point winner who opened his account under Rules at the eleventh attempt in a 17f handicap hurdle at Carlisle in February. However, well held both starts since and poor completion rate in hunter chases is another negative.
9th
9th (7) (8.5/1 -70%) Moonlight Glory
8.5/1(-70%)
(7) Moonlight Glory 8.5/1, Twice a winner over hurdles in Ireland and good start in this sphere for new yard when runner-up at Hexham in March. Did herself no favours by continually jumping to the right at Sedgefield (21f, soft) next time but will be a threat provided she's more proficient at her fences here.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (5.5/1 +31%) Jack Yeats
5.5/1(+31%)
(8) Jack Yeats 5.5/1, Modest strike rate on the Flat and winless following 14 attempts over hurdles. Improvement will be needed for the switch to fences if he's to make a winning start in this sphere.
LTO Selection:
16:35 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(15) Deputy 6.5/1, Did little wrong for Charlie Fellowes last season, signing that campaign off with a good second in this race. Opened account for present connections at Thirsk (7f, soft) last month and 3 lb nudge looks fair, so he has to enter calculations.
2
2nd (16) (16/1 -33%) The Cookstown Cafu
16/1(-33%)
(16) The Cookstown Cafu 16/1, Gained breakthrough success on first appearance following a wind op at Pontefract (1m, good) where he looked more straightforward than in the past. Up just 2 lb and went close on soft ground as a 2-y-o, so there's certainly cause for optimism.
3
3rd (2) (5.5/1 +45%) Broken Spear
5.5/1(+45%)
(2) Broken Spear 5.5/1, Signed off last season with a soft-ground C&D success and fine fifth off 22 back here in the Lincoln in March. Largely below par since but he's dangerous to discount having slipped to a very attractive mark.
4
4th (3) (5.5/1 -10%) Zip
5.5/1(-10%)
(3) Zip 5.5/1, Now 11 lb lower than when landing a Musselburgh handicap last October and has shaped well on several occasions this year, not least when fifth of 14 at Catterick (7f, soft) last weekend. Very much one to consider with conditions in his favour.
5th
5th (5) (4.5/1 +10%) Cold Stare
4.5/1(+10%)
(5) Cold Stare 4.5/1, Losing run mounting up but now 10 lb below the mark off which he hit the target at Ayr 12 months ago, and he left the strong impression that his turn is near when runner-up at Haydock (6f, heavy) recently. Return to this trip looks a good move and he's a major player.
6th
6th (14) (14/1 +22%) Star Zinc
14/1(+22%)
(14) Star Zinc 14/1, Gelded after finishing fourth to Sip And Smile over C&D in May and has performed with credit on each of his 3 subsequent starts. Still seeking first taste of success but clearly not short of ability and he's not discounted.
7th
7th (8) (12/1 +0%) Emperor Caradoc
12/1(+0%)
(8) Emperor Caradoc 12/1, Best effort yet when striking on return from a break at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) last month. By no means disgraced off this 5 lb higher mark upped to a mile at Pontefract next time and place possibilities back down in trip here.
8th
8th (22) (16/1 +43%) Libra Tiger
16/1(+43%)
(22) Libra Tiger 16/1, Promise both starts as a juvenile but progress has not been forthcoming in a couple of appearances this season.
9th
9th (7) (22/1 -10%) Sip And Smile
22/1(-10%)
(7) Sip And Smile 22/1, Successful twice at 2 yrs and added to his tally when scoring over C&D (good to firm) in May. Form has gradually tailed off since, though, and conditions are likely to be significantly slower than anything he has previously encountered.
10th
10th (17) (28/1 -75%) Floral Splendour
28/1(-75%)
(17) Floral Splendour 28/1, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 11-runner maiden at Haydock in July. Fair to say that she hasn't gone on from that in the way one may have anticipated but certainly wasn't disgraced when fourth of 10 on recent handicap debut for new yard at Musselburgh (7.2f, soft).
11th
11th (18) (28/1 -56%) Absolute Dream
28/1(-56%)
(18) Absolute Dream 28/1, Notched third win of the campaign when landing a big-field handicap over a mile here (good) last month. However, he was out with the washing on soft ground at Catterick last weekend.
12th
12th (12) (28/1 -40%) Surprise Picture
28/1(-40%)
(12) Surprise Picture 28/1, Bagged a Hamilton handicap in July and while that's his sole success from what has been an intensive 2022 campaign, he has also posted several creditable efforts in defeat. On the downside, his best efforts have come on faster ground.
13th
13th (6) (40/1 -60%) Trais Fluors
40/1(-60%)
(6) Trais Fluors 40/1, Down to a potentially handy mark and step back in the right direction when a close fifth in a Goodwood claiming handicap (1m, good) last month. However, failed to build on that next time and he's on an 18-race losing run.
14th
14th (13) (8.5/1 +39%) Rich Waters
8.5/1(+39%)
(13) Rich Waters 8.5/1, Yet to add to 2-y-o Kempton success but has put together a string of decent efforts since fitted with cheekpieces, and had no problem with the soft ground when a close third at Brighton (1m) recently. Drop back to 7f no bad thing and one to consider with more severe headgear enlisted here.
15th
15th (1) (28/1 -40%) Muntadab
28/1(-40%)
(1) Muntadab 28/1, Returned to form in no uncertain terms when landing a 12-runner Musselburgh handicap (7.2f, soft) earlier this month. Well held under a penalty at Catterick 5 days later, though, and he looks vulnerable under top-weight here.
16th
16th (4) (50/1 -100%) Global Spirit
50/1(-100%)
(4) Global Spirit 50/1, Dual winner over a mile at Pontefract this season, latterly off a 2 lb lower mark in August. Versatile ground-wise but he hasn't fired on all cylinders the last twice and this trip is probably a shade on the sharp side for him nowadays.
17th
17th (9) (12/1 -20%) Tickets
12/1(-20%)
(9) Tickets 12/1, Has done little wrong in his 4 starts on the AW, off the mark in 7f Kempton novice in May prior to hitting the crossbar on handicap bow at Newcastle. Safely held back from a break on turf debut at Epsom (8.5f, good) and it remains to be seen if he'll cope with conditions here.
18th
18th (20) (50/1 -52%) Leopold Bloom
50/1(-52%)
(20) Leopold Bloom 50/1, Narrow winner of 7f Thirsk novice on 2-y-o debut but hasn't made much of an impact since, trailing in last of 15 when tried in a hood at Haydock on latest start in May. Gelded since and headgear dispensed with here.
19th
19th (21) (80/1 -60%) Papa Cocktail
80/1(-60%)
(21) Papa Cocktail 80/1, Caught the eye when fifth in a 10-runner Wolverhampton handicap at the beginning of the month but misfired at Catterick (7f, soft) last weekend, and it's a concern that similar conditions are forecast here.
20th
20th (10) (25/1 -56%) Al Baahy
25/1(-56%)
(10) Al Baahy 25/1, Fairly useful maiden who put in a good shift when third off 2 lb higher at York in May. Hasn't quite matched that form in 4 subsequent starts and while his latest third of 10 in a Chester novice (7.6f, good to soft) was a creditable effort, others look stronger.
LTO Selection:
16:45 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(9) Mrs Meader 3.5/1, Strong in betting when readily off the mark over 10f here in June. Runner-up at Leicester next time and back to winning ways back at that venue in September, edging ahead close home. Mark has crept up a little more but she's still very much one to be interested in.
2
2nd (4) (11/1 -10%) Captain Haddock
11/1(-10%)
(4) Captain Haddock 11/1, Winner at Epsom (12f) last summer and best effort this year when runner-up at Hamilton (13f) in May. Mixed bag has followed and he never made much impact in refitted blinkers (left off now) at first-named venue 4 weeks ago.
3
3rd (20) (1.88/1 +83%) Das Kapital
1.88/1(+83%)
(20) Das Kapital 1.88/1, Infrequent winner who landed an amateur riders' event in first-time blinkers at Haydock (10.2f) last summer. Mixed bag has followed but reacted well to fitting of cheekpieces (retained here) when runner-up at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) 4 days ago. Needs to back that up now.
4
4th (16) (50/1 -213%) Clifftop Heaven
50/1(-213%)
(16) Clifftop Heaven 50/1, Finished runner-up either side of a facile victory at Doncaster (16.5f) in July. However, recent exploits have been some way below that level, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 17 days ago.
5th
5th (5) (25/1 +0%) Vitalline
25/1(+0%)
(5) Vitalline 25/1, Successful 3 time at 7f on turf/AW for Ben James during 2021. Winless in 5 starts for new yard on AW so far this term but possibly all not right at Kempton (1m) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip now.
6th
6th (10) (9/1 -29%) Psyche
9/1(-29%)
(10) Psyche 9/1, Winner of handicaps at Brighton/Wolverhampton (at upto 14f) this summer. Made frame next 2 starts and possible 2m stretched his stamina when seventh at Kempton (2m) 24 days ago. This more suitable.
7th
7th (19) (25/1 -56%) Tawtheef
25/1(-56%)
(19) Tawtheef 25/1, Off the mark at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December and picked up where he left off to follow up at Lingfield (10f) in May. Largely remained in form since, staying on to finish second on back of a wind op at Brighton (10f) 18 days ago. Up in trip now.
8th
8th (15) (40/1 -122%) Capricorn Prince
40/1(-122%)
(15) Capricorn Prince 40/1, Quirky sort who went through a good spell on AW, gaining third success since turn of the year at Lingfield (13f) in March. Finished midfield in 10-runner handicap at Kempton (12f) later that month but others make more appeal for win purposes back from a break.
9th
9th (18) (18/1 -50%) Alkhattaaf
18/1(-50%)
(18) Alkhattaaf 18/1, Shed maiden tag on third start for this yard at Chepstow (12f) in May prior to hitting the frame next 2 starts. Largely remained in form since and he's an each-way player back down in trip following a spin over hurdles 2 weeks ago.
10th
10th (7) (8.5/1 -55%) Pride Of Hawridge
8.5/1(-55%)
(7) Pride Of Hawridge 8.5/1, Steadily eased in weights and duly capitalised to get off the mark for the season at Ffos las (10f) 4 weeks ago, leading over 1f out and driven out. Steps up further in trip now and he's well worth a second look.
11th
11th (14) (20/1 -25%) Mardoof
20/1(-25%)
(14) Mardoof 20/1, Maiden who has been campaigned exclusively on AW to date, runner-up at Chelmsford (14f) in May. Not disgraced back at that venue the following month but his mark looks about right on balance.
12th
12th (2) (16/1 +0%) Golden Dove
16/1(+0%)
(2) Golden Dove 16/1, Largely consistent without getting head in front last term for Tim Easterby but not disgraced for new yard (on back of break/wind op) when third in 10f Windsor handicap 12 days ago. Booking of Simon Walker a plus if building on that returned to this longer trip.
13th
13th (3) (125/1 -150%) Tenfold
125/1(-150%)
(3) Tenfold 125/1, Fair maiden in this sphere who offered little over hurdles when last seen at Ascot (15.7f) back in January 2021. Can only be watched unless market vibes proved positive ahead of this belated return to action.
14th

33/1(-83%)
(6) Ruby Red Empress 33/1, Resurgent upon joining this yard early last year, winning handicaps at Bath/here and going in again at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December. Didn't fare too badly in trio of starts during the spring and interesting what the market makes of her back from a break.

7.5/1(+38%)
(8) Nietzsche 7.5/1, Ticked over in staying handicaps earlier this term and cashed in from falling mark at Catterick (12f) 24 days ago, impressing with how he travelled. Not in same form at Nottingham (14f) since but bounce back not ruled out.

(7) Encanto Bruno 2/1, £210,000 buy after a point debut success in March. Ran green but still had enough in hand to make winning bumper debut at Cork (16.8f) in July. Will likely find this a much sterner assignment.
2
2nd (5) (2.5/1 +9%) Strong Leader
2.5/1(+9%)
(5) Strong Leader 2.5/1, Proved most impressive when landing a Warwick bumper on debut back in May, quickening up superbly to draw clear. Plenty to like about him physically and he's very much one to follow with better to come.
3
3rd (1) (14/1 -56%) Thecompanysergeant
14/1(-56%)
(1) Thecompanysergeant 14/1, Good third sent off at 50/1 on debut at Galway and built on that to land back-to-back bumpers subsequently, allowed to control matters from the front at Listowel (2m) 4 weeks ago. This is tougher conceding weight all round.
4
4th (13) (6.5/1 +59%) Mamoon Star
6.5/1(+59%)
(13) Mamoon Star 6.5/1, Good second on debut at Huntingdon then, upped in grade, acquitted himself well having been set plenty to do when third in listed company here (14f) in January. Disappointed on the back of that at Newbury a month later but certainly not one to be writing off.

5th (3) (6.5/1 -8%) Gentle Slopes
6.5/1(-8%)
(3) Gentle Slopes 6.5/1, £90,000 purchase on back of point win in March and, strong in betting, had little fuss getting off the mark on Rules/bumper debut at Sedgefield in September, making all easily. Definitely worth a second look on that evidence with progress anticipated.
6th
6th (14) (11/1 +0%) Dreaming Diamond
11/1(+0%)
(14) Dreaming Diamond 11/1, Shirocco mare. Placed on 2 of 3 completed starts in Irish points and came home well to make a winning bumper debut at Worcester (2m) in June, leading inside final 1f and going clear. This is a big step up, however. One of 3 runners from this yard.

40/1(+0%)
(10) Jem In Em 40/1, £55,000 4-y-o, Well Chosen gelding. Placed only start in points and did well under the circumstances to make winning Rules/bumper debut at Perth (16.2f) in September, shuffled back home turn but rallying well. Can do better again.
8th
8th (15) (22/1 +33%) Vienna Girl
22/1(+33%)
(15) Vienna Girl 22/1, Golden Horn filly. Exceeded market expectations when second on debut in a Southwell bumper in May and proved that to be no fluke when comfortably off the mark at that venue in July. This will demand another jolt of improvement, though.
9th
9th (6) (40/1 +0%) Tapley
40/1(+0%)
(6) Tapley 40/1, £40,000 5-y-o, Geordieland gelding. Placed on final start in points and sound start under Rules to land a Fontwell bumper (17.7f) 3 weeks ago, making all and keeping on gamely. This understandably demands more.
10th
10th (9) (33/1 -65%) Ironica De Thaix
33/1(-65%)
(9) Ironica De Thaix 33/1, Coastal Path half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Dica de Thaix (winner up to 2¾m). Won 8-runner newcomers' bumper at Senonnes-Pouance 12 months ago, showing a willing attitude. Acquired for lofty €210,000 thereafter and market best guide pitched in here.

20/1(+0%)
(12) Havock 20/1, £60,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Closely related to bumper winner/fairly useful 2¾m hurdle winner Del La Mar Rocket. Has to be respected on debut for leading yard for all this looks a particularly deep bumper.
(1) Cosmic Outlaw 7.5/1, Irish point winner who made a promising start over hurdles for this yard at Ayr but disappointed next 2 starts. Needs to get back on track after 6 months off.
2
2nd (3) (3/1 +40%) Brandy McQueen
3/1(+40%)
(3) Brandy McQueen 3/1, Improved for the step up to staying distances in the spring, scoring at Perth and Kelso. Progressed again despite failing to land the hat-trick after 4 months off at former venue last time and remains unexposed as a stayer.

3rd (10) (10/1 -82%) Veshenskaya
10/1(-82%)
(10) Veshenskaya 10/1, Built on a couple of sound placed efforts to belatedly get off the mark (7/2) at Wetherby (24.1f, soft) in March, kept up to work. Reappears from a 6 lb higher mark but can't be ruled out.
4
4th (5) (16/1 -33%) Scottish Accent
16/1(-33%)
(5) Scottish Accent 16/1, Looked as good as ever after 5 months off when third in 7-runner handicap at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft, 12/1) 14 days ago. Each-way claims.

8th (2) (66/1 -65%) Chanceanotherfive
66/1(-65%)
(2) Chanceanotherfive 66/1, Fair winning hurdler/chaser who probably needed the run after 23 months off when well beaten at Bangor 24 days ago. This will reveal more.

11/1(+31%)
(7) Wee Rupert 11/1, Winning pointer who faced a stiff task when sixth of 9 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Downpatrick (21.5f, good) 36 days ago. Into handicaps now and improvement needed.

5/1(+23%)
(8) Shoeshine Boy 5/1, Gained reward for a consistent spell when off the mark in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (24.3f, good to soft) in April. Can make presence felt if ready to roll on return.

8.5/1(+29%)
(13) Dr Shirocco 8.5/1, Maiden who was below form faced with an inadequate test at Hexham (16.2f) when last seen in June. Significantly back up in trip. Not ruled out.

25/1(-79%)
(11) Silver Coin 25/1, Has hinted at ability in a bumper and two starts over hurdles (both at 2½m) but sizeable step forward is needed now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

|PU| (6) (22/1 -100%) Jessiemac
22/1(-100%)
(6) Jessiemac 22/1, Thorough stayer who needed every yard to score at Catterick (25f) in January. Back to form when second at Ayr in May but followed that with a tame effort at Cartmel later in the month. Needs to bounce back on return.

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.
