11:50 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f - 18 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (8/13 +50%) Dee Capo	0.615385 8/13(+50%)	(3) Dee Capo 8/13, Maxios gelding who got back on the up to make third start in bumpers a winning one at Galway (17f) last month. Probably the one to beat now switching his attentions to timber. Won a Galway bumper last time; looks a leading contender for top yard on hurdling debut.
2	9 2nd (9) (8/1 +20%) Maxi Mac Gold	8 8/1(+20%)	(9) Maxi Mac Gold 8/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in bumper at Thurles (16f, soft, 10/3) on NH debut. Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. Was 4th on debut in a Thurles bumper; will likely improve from this hurdling debut.
3	18 3rd (18) (20/1 +39%) Picture Of You	20 20/1(+39%)	(18) Picture Of You 20/1, Making GB/IRE jumps debut. 100/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, soft). Off 13 months. Stable having good spell. Hood on for 1st time in this code. Soundly beaten in two Flat maidens last year; could well improve for tackling hurdles.
4	12 4th (12) (11/2 -22%) The Passing Wife	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(12) The Passing Wife 11/2, £48,000 buy after winning sole start in points (Mar 26). Needs a betting check on hurdle debut. Every chance when left in the lead in a Ballynoe point' back in March; respected.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/1 -43%) Intent Approach	5 5/1(-43%)	(5) Intent Approach 5/1, Second of 16 in bumper at Punchestown (16f, good to soft, 18/1) on NH debut 175 days ago, finishing well. Makes hurdles debut. Interesting runner. Was 2nd on debut in a Punchestown bumper in April; this ground is much softer but chance.
6th	11 6th (11) (150/1 +25%) Pride Of Place	150 150/1(+25%)	(11) Pride Of Place 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 100/1) 37 days ago. Well beaten in two maiden hurdles and looks best watched until tackling handicaps.
7th	10 7th (10) (66/1 +0%) One Big Boum	66 66/1(+0%)	(10) One Big Boum 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1, twelfth of 22 in bumper at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut, unable to sustain effort. Off 6 months. Makes hurdles debut. Promise in his Punchestown bumper debut back in April but will probably improve from this.
8th	13 8th (13) (10/1 -122%) Wandering Rocks	10 10/1(-122%)	(13) Wandering Rocks 10/1, Promising sort. Fairly useful winner at 10f on flat. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, third of 16 in maiden at Listowel (16f, soft) on hurdle debut 43 days ago. Open to improvement. Solid hurdling debut at Listowel and should have improved nicely from that; big player.
9th	17 9th (17) (300/1 -20%) Phoebe's Charm	300 300/1(-20%)	(17) Phoebe's Charm 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, eleventh of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 15 days ago. Soundly beaten in two maiden hurdles and will be of more interest in handicaps.
10th	1 10th (1) (50/1 -52%) Balally Park	50 50/1(-52%)	(1) Balally Park 50/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Unseated rider in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 40/1) on hurdles bow 43 days ago. Some promise in a Listowel maiden hurdle after a break, weakening when falling at the last.
11th	8 11th (8) (20/1 +29%) Liberated Light	20 20/1(+29%)	(8) Liberated Light 20/1, Fair Flat winner. Promising sort. Ninth of 18 in novice hurdle (17/2) at Limerick (16f, heavy) on NH debut 15 days ago. Likely to improve. Didn't jump well on recent hurdling debut at Limerick and has a lot of improvement to find.
12th	21 12th (21) (100/1 -150%) Flicker Of Hope	100 100/1(-150%)	(21) Flicker Of Hope 100/1, Buck's Boum gelding. Dam 12.5f winner on Flat in France. RESERVE. By a quality French sire and considered if getting a run; reserve.
13th	14 13th (14) (200/1 +0%) Fire Coral	200 200/1(+0%)	(14) Fire Coral 200/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Seventeenth of 20 in handicap at Navan (14f, heavy, 22/1) 18 days ago. Maiden is rated 52 on the Flat after 9 starts and others appeal more..
14th	15 14th (15) (200/1 -33%) Lisamaria	200 200/1(-33%)	(15) Lisamaria 200/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. 5/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy) 6 days ago. Maiden is rated 51 on the Flat after 15 starts and others appeal more..
15th	7 15th (7) (50/1 -127%) Juke Box Rock	50 50/1(-127%)	(7) Juke Box Rock 50/1, Jukebox Jury gelding. Dam (c134/h137), 2¼m-2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to high-class hurdler (stayed 21f) Get Me Out of Here. A 25,000Euros vendor buyback as a foal; by a leading sire but looks yard's second-string.
16th	2 16th (2) (150/1 +25%) Container Madness	150 150/1(+25%)	(2) Container Madness 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, tenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) 101 days ago. Poor on C&D debut but a better effort at Limerick next time; of more interest in handicaps.
17th	6 17th (6) (300/1 -20%) Johnny Cakes	300 300/1(-20%)	(6) Johnny Cakes 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventeenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 250/1) 15 days ago. Well beaten in two maiden hurdles and best wait for handicaps.
18th	16 18th (16) (125/1 +17%) Menrva	125 125/1(+17%)	(16) Menrva 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, tenth of 13 in novice hurdle at Sligo (20f, soft) 9 days ago. Well beaten in two maiden hurdles and loads of improvement needed.

LTO Selection:

DEE CAPO has recent winning form. He ran well on debut and while he disappointed on September reappearance, won well in an ordinary bumper at Galway and has the size to excel over jumps. The Passing Wife was bought for 48,000 pounds following his slightly fortunate point-to-point win last March. He bypasses a bumper but it is very notable his trainer won last year's renewal of this race. Intent Approach was the first beaten horse in the final race of last season, at the Punchestown festival, and has been bought by JP McManus. There is nothing exciting about that form and while he debuts over hurdles on reappearance, nonetheless looks capable. Maxi Mac Gold showed ability on bumper debut while Wandering Rocks, once rated 90 on the flat, has place claims on Listowel form. Liberated Light was well held on recent jumps debut.

The way DEE CAPO came clear in a Galway bumper last month suggests he has the makings of a useful hurdler and he can make a winning start under Jack Kennedy. Wandering Rocks was a promising third on his hurdle debut at Listowel in September and is second choice ahead of Intent Approach, who has been purchased by J P McManus since finishing second in a Punchestown bumper in the spring.

Likely to improve significantly from his Listowel hurdling debut 3rd, WANDERING ROCKS could go two better today.

LTO Selection:

CHANTILLY bumped into a promising stablemate when a narrow second over an extended mile at Gowran on his most recent outing. That was his second runner-up finish in a row and it would be no surprise to see the son of Galileo go one better here. That said, Autumn Winter was far from disgraced on his debut and could give his stable companion plenty to think about, while Fine Point and Kolachi are others with valid form claims.

AUTUMN WINTER shaped like a useful prospect when beaten just under 2 lengths at Leopardstown on debut 2 weeks ago and he can find the required improvement to beat standard setter Chantilly. Kolachi and Fine Point are others to consider.

Chantilly and Kolachi have claims but AUTUMN WINTER was patently in need of the experience when a promising fifth on debut.

12:20 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f - 18 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

JASMIN DE COTTE ran well on March point-to-point debut, after which he was sold for 160,000 pounds, and is well bred. That form is difficult to assess but the well-beaten third was subsequently bumper-placed while the fourth won next time and was sold for 100,000 pounds. The selection is a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Camelia De Cotte. Flamborough is race-fit, in-form and suited by testing ground. He beat Winning Smut by 9.5 lengths at Listowel and while 3lb worse off, might hold form, despite Winning Smut finishing second subsequently. Jigoro finished second at French provincial course Ligniers in a Flat race last March and has joined leading connections, while Fenway Park represents last year's winning trainer and is surely capable of far better than he showed at Ballinrobe in April, when well supported.

The betting should reveal plenty but FLAMBOROUGH rates the pick on form and can get his head in front for the first time at the chief expense of Killarney-second Winning Smut who also has the form to play a major part. Rosalys has the potential for progress and also needs considering, while newcomers Jigoro, Jasmin de Cotte and Fenway Park are in good hands and need factoring in too, especially if the market vibes are positive.

With several solid hurdle runs under his girth plus a fine effort in a Flat Premier Handicap last time, FLAMBOROUGH(nap) can score.

12:25 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (7/2 -75%) Edmund Ironside	3.5 7/2(-75%)	(3) Edmund Ironside 7/2, 25/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good) 26 days ago, unable to land a blow. Others make more appeal for all he's now operating from career-low mark. 14-race maiden; both runs for new yard (including C&D) give him a place chance.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 -11%) Zakram	5 5/1(-11%)	(7) Zakram 5/1, Course winner. One win from 25 Flat runs. Creditable 2 lengths second of 11 to Neptune Legend in handicap (4/1) at this C&D (AW) 9 days ago, no match for winner. Enters calculations. 1-25 strike-rate but consistent in recent outings, runner-up to Neptune Legend over C&D.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/4 +55%) Blue Collar Lad	2.25 9/4(+55%)	(1) Blue Collar Lad 9/4, C&D winner. Latest win here (7f, turf) in June. Good fifth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 14/1) 41 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces back on and not dismissed lightly. Bit disappointing since Lingfield turf win in June but has fallen in the weights.
4	2 4th (2) (7/2 -27%) Neptune Legend	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(2) Neptune Legend 7/2, Blinkered for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D (AW, 18/1) 9 days ago by 2 lengths from Zakram, keeping on well. Remains with plenty of handicapping scope on old form and big shout if headgear has desired effect once more. First attempt at both 1m and in blinkers when resurgent for clearcut C&D win over Zakram.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 +20%) The Game Is Up	16 16/1(+20%)	(8) The Game Is Up 16/1, Maiden who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D (AW) 10 days ago. However, others make greater appeal for win purposes here. Close up in bunched finish over 1m2f here penultimate start; not so good over C&D latest.
6th	6 6th (6) (16/1 -60%) Taswara	16 16/1(-60%)	(6) Taswara 16/1, 25/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable seventh of 14 in minor event at Bath (1m, good) in July, typically racing freely and beaten 1f out. Cheekpieces replace blinkers now. Low-level form, including in two 1m2f handicaps and a 1m classified; different headgear.
7th	5 7th (5) (33/1 +34%) Chloellie	33 33/1(+34%)	(5) Chloellie 33/1, Forty runs since last win in 2020. 40/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at Brighton (8f, good) 88 days ago. Others more persuasive. Her last win was over three years ago; off since August; not the percentage call.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/1 +50%) Vitesse Du Son	9 9/1(+50%)	(4) Vitesse Du Son 9/1, Course winner. Fifth of 8 in minor event at Brighton (8f, good, 9/2) 88 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper. Brighton 3rd in June is easily his best run this season; player if back to that level.

LTO Selection:

NEPTUNE LEGEND had Zakram (second) behind when successful by two lengths over C&D last month and, even though he has to give 4lb extra away to his rival, he remains the one to beat. Blue Collar Lad wasn't entirely disgraced in fifth over an extended mile at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and should go well off a 2lb lower mark, while Taswara is another to consider.

NEPTUNE LEGEND got firmly back on track sporting first-time blinkers (retained here) when cashing in off his much-reduced mark over C&D 9 days ago, doing plenty in front and seeing off re-opposing Zakram. He gets the nod to confirm those placings with the latter-named rating the chief threat. Blue Collar Lad can also get involved.

With a major lack of recent form in this field, last week's C&D one-two NEPTUNE LEGEND and Zakram may well come to the fore again.

12:30 Huntingdon Claiming Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (2/1 +29%) Allbetsoff	2 2/1(+29%)	(2) Allbetsoff 2/1, Responded well when opening account at Southwell in June and better than ever reverting to positive tactics when doubling tally at Hexham in September. Found out by a career-high mark at Warwick subsequently but fancied to make a splash in this. Consistent in the main and has less to prove than most of these.
2	4 2nd (4) (15/8 +58%) Saligo Bay	1.875 15/8(+58%)	(4) Saligo Bay 15/8, Won 2m Lingfield handicap hurdle in 12 months ago (second past post but awarded race after suffering interference) and solid efforts on next 3 starts in this sphere. Shaped as if needing the run after 4 months off when well held on Flat 18 days ago and has to be respected in this grade. Poor AW run 18 days ago but major claims on his form back in the spring.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/2 -53%) Foveros	2.5 5/2(-53%)	(1) Foveros 5/2, Ran too badly to be true sporting first-time cheekpieces when tailed-off last at Killarney (22.4f, good to soft) just over 10 weeks ago, weakening as if amiss. Has since left Willie Mullins and must have a major chance, provided he's back on song, in this company. Ex-Willie Mullins; not as good as he was but ran okay at Galway this summer.
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 +0%) Still Standing	25 25/1(+0%)	(5) Still Standing 25/1, Useful Flat performer in his prime who opened account over hurdles in autumn 2021. However, it's all been rather low key since, including on the level in recent months for present connections. Best watched. He was in much better form when winning his Irish maiden hurdle two years ago.
5th	6 5th (6) (15/2 -25%) Vorashann	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(6) Vorashann 15/2, Dual hurdles winner for Gary Moore in 2022. However, absent since down the field in a Kempton handicap on Boxing Day and probably best watched starting out for new connections here (sold for only £4,800). Off since last December and changed yards; major player at this level if retaining ability.
6th	7 6th (7) (200/1 -100%) Straitouttacompton	200 200/1(-100%)	(7) Straitouttacompton 200/1, Poor on Flat nowadays and well held both starts over hurdles. Easily opposed. Tailed off in two hurdles and he's been struggling off low marks on the Flat.

LTO Selection:

Allbetsoff has been running to a consistent level in recent starts and must be respected dropped into a claimer, but FOVEROS is preferred. Now in the care of Henry Oliver, the son of Authorized is the highest rated in this field and it would be no surprise were he to post an improved effort with his sights lowered. Others to note include Vorashann and Saligo Bay.

A low-key start to proceedings but the vote goes to FOVEROS, who shaped as if amiss on final start for Willie Mullins but hadn't been disgraced in a listed handicap prior to that effort. Saligo Bay shaped as if needing the run on a recent Flat start at Kempton so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Allbetsoff best of the rest.

A dangerous race as they all have questions to answer. Perhaps SALIGO BAY will be the answer despite his recent no-show on the AW.

1	1 1st (1) (11/4 -57%) Big Gossey	2.75 11/4(-57%)	(1) Big Gossey 11/4, Smart gelding. 18/1, respectable 4 lengths seventh of 12 to Dun Na Sead in Mercury Stakes at Dundalk (5f) 9 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Chance is there for all to see. Bang in form and these terms are favourable, but all his best form is at shorter.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/4 +34%) Yosemite Valley	1.25 5/4(+34%)	(4) Yosemite Valley 5/4, Confirmed previous promise when winning 10-runner maiden at this course (6f, soft) 43 days ago. Open to further improvement and looks a player. Placed in a Group race at two; won his maiden recently and retains potential.
3	2 3rd (2) (13/2 -30%) Real Force	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(2) Real Force 13/2, Useful gelding. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, soft, 6/1) 32 days ago. Up in trip. Needs to bounce back. Fine over this far and on testing ground, but something to prove now.
4	3 4th (3) (3/1 +45%) Verhoyen	3 3/1(+45%)	(3) Verhoyen 3/1, Useful gelding. 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Naas (7f, soft, 33/1) 22 days ago, doing too much too soon. Course specialist but looks to be relying on a couple of these being below par.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 +18%) Alexander John	33 33/1(+18%)	(5) Alexander John 33/1, Fairly useful colt. 14/1, below form 8 lengths fourth of 10 to Yosemite Valley in maiden at this course (6f, soft) 43 days ago, slowly away. Some good form but now a 13-race maiden and he's not improving.

LTO Selection:

On ratings, this looks a great opportunity for four-time course scorer BIG GOSSEY to regain the winning thread. The only chink in the six-year-old's armour is the fact that he has yet to triumph over 7f. Nevertheless, he looks the one to beat, with last-time-out maiden winner Yosemite Valley feared most. The Shamardal colt is heading in the right direction and will appreciate the extra furlong, while Real Force should appreciate the step up in distance too.

YOSEMITE VALLEY got off the mark in good style in a course maiden in September and this longer trip should bring more out of him, so he's preferred to Big Gossey, who is the clear form pick but hasn't been firing of late. Verhoyen is also considered.

The trip is a worry for Big Gossey and ready preference is for the lesser exposed YOSEMITE VALLEY, who retains plenty of potential.

1	7 1st (7) (4/5 +12%) Johnnywho	0.8 4/5(+12%)	(7) Johnnywho 4/5, Wide-margin winner of sole start between the flags back in October 2021 and looked a smart prospect when running away with 9-runner bumper at Taunton (16.5f, heavy) on NH debut in March. Looks a powerful traveller and very much of interest on hurdles bow. Impressed in an Irish point and a Taunton bumper; an exciting prospect.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 +20%) Moon D'Orange	8 8/1(+20%)	(1) Moon D'Orange 8/1, Confirmed hurdles debut promise back from 5 months off when landing 7-runner Cartmel maiden (22f) in May. Shaped as if better for the run when fifth on return at Cork (24.2f) last month prior to unseating early on at Galway last week. Not out of things. Won at Cartmel in the spring but takes on a couple of exciting rivals here.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/4 -46%) Whistle Stop Tour	2.75 11/4(-46%)	(2) Whistle Stop Tour 11/4, Changed hands for £115,000 on the back of success in Irish points and justified odd-son favouritism to make a winning start over hurdles in a Hexham novice (16.2f, heavy) 30 days ago, making all and jumping well. Big player with improvement expected. Impressed on last month's hurdling debut at Hexham and makes obvious appeal.
4	3 4th (3) (17/2 +23%) Both Barrels	8.5 17/2(+23%)	(3) Both Barrels 17/2, Made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers, posting best effort to date when third at Kelso (16.2f, soft) back in March. No reason why he won't have a future in this sphere and interesting what the market makes of him back from 7 months off. Placed in quite valuable Kelso bumper in March; should have a future over jumps.
5th	11 5th (11) (12/1 +40%) Yealand	12 12/1(+40%)	(11) Yealand 12/1, €60,000 3-y-o, Shirocco gelding who is bred to stay well and he made an encouraging start when second in 6-runner junior hurdle at Chepstow (2m) back in April. Very much the type to improve, particularly now upped in trip. Promising second in junior hurdle in April but has a lot more on his plate here.
6th	12 6th (12) (50/1 +24%) Belleme Basc	50 50/1(+24%)	(12) Belleme Basc 50/1, £50,000 3-y-o: third foal: dam lightly-raced half-sister to fairly useful chaser (2¼m-2¾m winner) Mandarin Basc. Unplaced on completed start in Irish points (Apr 2) and the betting may provide a useful guide as to expectations ahead of this Rules debut. Respectable fifth in soft-ground Irish point in April; faces tall order on rules debut.
7th	10 7th (10) (25/1 +11%) Mullys Choice	25 25/1(+11%)	(10) Mullys Choice 25/1, Picked up for £60,000 after finishing second in a maiden point last November but didn't show too much immediate promise when fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Worcester (23f, soft) on NH debut 24 days ago. Looks one for further down the line. Made promising Irish point debut last year but well beaten in a novice hurdle last month.
8th	6 8th (6) (250/1 -150%) Iturgeon Du Breuil	250 250/1(-150%)	(6) Iturgeon Du Breuil 250/1, £10,000 5-y-o, Turgeon gelding. Placed in Irish point in May but offered little short-term encouragement when sixth of 9 in a 17f novice here 17 days ago. In rear throughout when 50-1 for recent hurdling debut.
9th	5 9th (5) (80/1 -142%) Imperial Rule	80 80/1(-142%)	(5) Imperial Rule 80/1, Imperial Monarch gelding. Dam (c110) 17f chase winner. Placed on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Apr 30) and the betting should prove a useful guide ahead of this Rules/hurdling debut. Placed in good-ground Irish point in April but makes rules debut in a warm race.
10th	4 10th (4) (300/1 -100%) Glenavaddra	300 300/1(-100%)	(4) Glenavaddra 300/1, Point winner but has shown nothing in 4 runs under Rules, including on the back of a wind op when pulled up at Hexham (20f) in March. Irish point winner in February 2022 but pulled up on all three hurdling starts last season.
11th	9 11th (9) (150/1 -127%) Mount Falcon	150 150/1(-127%)	(9) Mount Falcon 150/1, £4,000 5-y-o, Ask gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3¼m) Ocean Cove (by Ask). Last of 3 finishers on Irish point debut, pulled up other start (Apr 21). Likely best watched on Rules/hurdling debut. Placed in first of two Irish points; bought for £4,000 in May; rules debut today.

LTO Selection:

Point-to-point winner JOHNNYWHO was sent off favourite for his debut under Rules in a Taunton bumper and made no mistake, sauntering clear to score by over five lengths. The well-related six-year-old can make a victorious start over timber for his powerful connections before going on to better things. Whistle Stop Tour was an impressive 18-length victor at Hexham and won't go down without a fight in his attempt to defy a penalty. Irish raider Moon D'orange could collect minor honours.

Successful on his only start in points, JOHNNYWHO looked potentially smart when making a winning bumper debut at Taunton (16.5f) back in March, travelling with purpose and quickening clear impressively. An exciting hurdles debutant, he earns the vote to make a winning return equipped with a first-time tongue tie. Whistle Stop Tour rates the lead danger following his all-the-way success at Hexham 30 days ago, with Yealand and Moon d'Orange a couple of others to note.

Johnnywho looks exciting but slight preference is for WHISTLE STOP TOUR, who was far too good for his rivals at Hexham last month.

Sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19f, good, 7/2) 58 days ago, going in snatches. Switches from chase to hurdles. A fine servant has been below form over fences last twice but is well-treated over hurdles.

Makes handicap hurdle debut. Player. Won a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle last time over 2m4f; races keenly so drop in trip is fine.
7th	12 7th (12) (33/1 -200%) Young Lucy	33 33/1(-200%)	(12) Young Lucy 33/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Ninth of 12 in maiden (50/1) at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 19 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Remains open to improvement heading into handicaps. Bumper winner ran her best hurdle race at Sligo in August; the market could inform.

Pulled up in novice chase (11/1) at Tipperary (17.5f, soft) on debut over fences, pulled up soon after. Off 6 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Bumper and hurdle winner at Clonmel; well beaten on chase debut when last seen.

LTO Selection:

SHOWMAN beat a subsequent winner to score in September and might beat experienced rivals. His flat form is ordinary but likes soft ground, caught the eye two days prior to winning at Roscommon and might better his 107 rating, under his same 7lb claimer. Grange Walk has failed to capitalize on a lower hurdle rating on his last four attempts. He is 3lb higher than when finishing second at Listowel in June although today's rider claims 5lb. Progressive Skradin received weight when beating a useful (subsequently-placed) type at Fairyhouse but drops in distance. He is closely matched with September winner Conyers Hill on Clonmel form last March. Time To Rocco reverts to hurdles rating 15lb lower in this sphere but might prefer further. Quirt Evans would prefer good ground while course bumper winner Young Lucy looks well handicapped but debuts in handicaps in a hot race.

SHOWMAN pulled clear with a subsequent winner when scoring a shade cosily under this rider at Roscommon 6 weeks ago and is potentially on a good mark on handicap debut in this sphere. Grange Walk, Conyers Hill and Skradin are others to consider.

SKRADIN won well in a Fairyhouse maiden last time over 2m4f but this front-runner has the pace to drop in trip, so is selected.

Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner), including 6 Group/Grade 1s. Second of 7 in novice (6/4) at Salisbury (7f, heavy) on debut 31 days ago, clear of rest. Should improve. Should be firmly in the mix following her 2nd of seven in novice at Salisbury (7f, soft).
2	2 2nd (2) (15/2 -25%) Cynosure	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(2) Cynosure 15/2, Twice-raced colt. 3/1, third of 8 in novice at Kempton (7f) 25 days ago. Third of eight in novice at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) on second start; 1m can help.

Half-brother to 7f-11f winner Shibli and useful 2-y-o 7f-9f winner Asad Zabeel, both in France, former also in Australia. Dam French 11f winner. Needs to be pretty useful to win this on debut but requires a check.
7th	5 7th (5) (250/1 -150%) Muy Barato	250 250/1(-150%)	(5) Muy Barato 250/1, Unreliable type. Tenth of 13 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f, 125/1) 24 days ago. Modest form at best and he has shown temperamental issues.

Half-brother to several winners, including 8.5f-1½m winner Falcao Negro and 1¼m winner Gipoia, both smart. Dam, 2-y-o 1m winner, daughter of Fillies' Mile and Falmouth Stakes winner Simply Perfect. 75,000gns yearling; ninth foal; Zoustar half-brother to six winners, three useful.

LTO Selection:

INDELIBLE was sent off a fancied price for her debut at Salisbury and she was beaten five lengths into second by a much more experienced rival. The beautifully-bred daughter of Shamardal should have plenty more to come up in trip, so she looks the one to beat. Love Warrior produced a pleasing debut effort when second at York last month and he should take a step forward, while any market confidence behind Alshimali on his debut would be of interest.

INDELIBLE is bred in the purple and produced a promising first effort behind an experienced sort when second at Salisbury, so shades the vote over Time Edition, who stepped up on debut when just failing at Nottingham. Rouge Sellier and Love Warrior also made encouraging debuts so this looks a good maiden for the track.

It is tough to choose between the five with fair form and potential. However, LOVE WARRIOR is selected ahead of Times Edition.

Gelded ahead of this hurdle debut with a hood fitted. Should be in a class of his own if taking to this new discipline. Three-time Flat winner who has held his own at Group level; interesting recruit.
2	4 2nd (4) (6/1 -9%) Palio	6 6/1(-9%)	(4) Palio 6/1, Fair maiden at up to 1½m on the Flat. Stable traditionally strong in these events but he has a fair bit to find with Burdett Road on Flat form. Inferior Flat horse to Burdett Road but could easily make a better hurdler.

Well held starting out for his new yard on the Flat at Ascot recently but he could strip fitter now and remains with potential for juvenile hurdles. Ability for Godolphin; quiet stable debut but was no doubt bought with hurdling in mind.

LTO Selection:

BURDETT ROAD was last seen finishing third in the Group 3 Winter Hill Stakes at Windsor in August and the son of Muhaarar, who holds a rating of 101 on the Flat, ought to take plenty of beating if taking to this new discipline. Palio looks an interesting recruit to hurdles and must enter calculations, while Seahouses appeals most of the remainder.

BURDETT ROAD has the potential to take high rank among this season's juvenile hurdlers and should be hard to beat. Through The Ages and Palio can battle it out for the forecast spot.

The interesting one is BURDETT ROAD who held his own in Group company on the Flat. He could be a smart recruit.

13:15 Curragh Handicap 7f - 22 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	20 1st (20) (13/2 +41%) Zephron	6.5 13/2(+41%)	(20) Zephron 13/2, Course winner. Latest win at Cork in September. 11/1, wasted no time getting back to form when fourth of 20 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 5 days ago. Cork winner in September but held by Blue Peak on form of both C&D runs since.
2	21 2nd (21) (4/1 +60%) Blue Peak	4 4/1(+60%)	(21) Blue Peak 4/1, C&D winner in October. 5/1, ran well from a 7 lb higher mark when second of 20 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 5 days ago, running on. In top form at present so could well be in the shake-up again. In-foal filly in good form over C&D lately; should go well again despite being 3lb wrong.
3	15 3rd (15) (12/1 +40%) Mogwli	12 12/1(+40%)	(15) Mogwli 12/1, Course winner. Latest win at Bellewstown in September. Respectable fifth of 19 in handicap at this course (5.9f, heavy, 11/1) 5 days ago. Visor back on. Looks competitive on form. Mudlark has been running consistently well since winning over 1m in August; place chance.
4	13 4th (13) (33/1 -32%) Expressova	33 33/1(-32%)	(13) Expressova 33/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Out of depth when 16¼ lengths tenth of 14 to Aussie Girl in listed race at this course (6f, soft, 100/1) 29 days ago. Popped up at 50s on seasonal/handicap debut at Cork in September; no show in Listed since.
5th	10 5th (10) (25/1 -39%) Sirjack Thomas	25 25/1(-39%)	(10) Sirjack Thomas 25/1, Course winner. Followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when tenth of 19 in handicap at this course (8f, soft, 14/1) 29 days ago. Merits consideration down to his last winning mark. Won over 1m off this mark over 1m here in May; fourth over this trip on soft at Listowel.
6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 +62%) Eastern Wind	25 25/1(+62%)	(9) Eastern Wind 25/1, Ran poorly when ninth of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (7f, 28/1) 16 days ago. Visor back on. Back on turf and better showing anticipated. Latest of three wins came off 74 in July; well held in recent outings.
7th	2 7th (2) (8/1 +33%) All Lies Ahead	8 8/1(+33%)	(2) All Lies Ahead 8/1, 25/1, found it tougher up in grade when 8¼ lengths tenth of 15 to Curvature in listed race at Naas (8f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Can get involved. Trip and ground are right and narrow defeats off this mark twice in September.
8th	5 8th (5) (28/1 -12%) Loingseoir	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Loingseoir 28/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Wasn't really seen to best effect when 5¼ lengths sixth of 7 to Rhythm King in handicap (10/3) at Gowran (7f, heavy) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Enters calculations. Course winner over 1m at the backend of last two seasons; three seconds this term.
9th	1 9th (1) (25/1 +24%) Spanish Tenor	25 25/1(+24%)	(1) Spanish Tenor 25/1, Latest win at Listowel in September. Went off too hard back up in trip when last of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Front-runner's mark is still feasible and ground fine but heavy defeats last twice.
10th	16 10th (16) (8/1 +0%) Nituna	8 8/1(+0%)	(16) Nituna 8/1, Good ½-length second of 12 to Yuzu in handicap (8/1) at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Expected to be bang there. Beaten half a length on similar ground over this trip last twice; one for the shortlist.
11th	3 11th (3) (8/1 +20%) Cavallo Pazzo	8 8/1(+20%)	(3) Cavallo Pazzo 8/1, Latest win at Down Royal in September. 4/1, not in same form when 7¾ lengths ninth of 11 to Facethepuckout in handicap at Naas (7f, soft) 22 days ago. Favourite every time this term, winning at Down Royal; well behind Facethepuckout at Naas.
12th	14 12th (14) (16/1 -14%) Randall Poets Lass	16 16/1(-14%)	(14) Randall Poets Lass 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/8, below form fifth of 12 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 19 days ago. Down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Bombed out when fav at Gowran; better than that and Keane booked for handicap debut.
13th	8 13th (8) (14/1 +13%) Rhythm King	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) Rhythm King 14/1, Latest win at Gowran in October. Not in same form when ninth of 15 in handicap (8/1) at Galway (8.3f, heavy) 6 days ago. Heavier the better for 3yo who won over this trip at Gowran; tame effort over 1m since.
14th	22 14th (22) (25/1 -25%) Conversant	25 25/1(-25%)	(22) Conversant 25/1, Course winner. Shaped well over further than usual when third of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy, 12/1) 6 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Not one to write off. Loves it soft/heavy and recent efforts have been creditable; may be better suited to 6f.
15th	11 15th (11) (18/1 -80%) Clear Quartz	18 18/1(-80%)	(11) Clear Quartz 18/1, 20/1, stepped up on reappearance when second of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy) 6 days ago, running on. Won twice over 1m last term and comes into this a fresh horse after second at Galway.
16th	19 16th (19) (20/1 +20%) Paris Review	20 20/1(+20%)	(19) Paris Review 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, eleventh of 17 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) over 5 months ago. Down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Placed over 1m at Gowran in April but off since following month; handicap debut.
17th	7 17th (7) (25/1 -108%) Frazil	25 25/1(-108%)	(7) Frazil 25/1, Thrice-raced winner. 14/1, possibly found the race coming too soon when 12¾ lengths last of 8 to Mutasarref in listed race at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut. Well bred 4yo won 1m Naas maiden last month after layoff; outclassed at Listed level since.
18th	18 18th (18) (12/1 -71%) Yuzu	12 12/1(-71%)	(18) Yuzu 12/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy, 9/2) 2 weeks ago by ½ length from Nituna, well positioned. Could kick on now up and running. Off the mark under this rider when beating Nituna over this trip at Leopardstown (heavy).
19th	4 19th (4) (16/1 -60%) Facethepuckout	16 16/1(-60%)	(4) Facethepuckout 16/1, C&D winner. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Naas (7f, soft, 7/1) 22 days ago, soon clear. Picked up back-to-back wins last year and it would be unwise to rule out a repeat. Back to winning ways with ready success at Naas and 8lb rise may not stop him.
20th	17 20th (17) (66/1 +0%) Trumble	66 66/1(+0%)	(17) Trumble 66/1, Offered little on first outing since leaving David Loughnane after 11 months off when last of 22 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, heavy, 33/1) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. Four AW wins when trained in Britain but last at Navan on last month's yard/seasonal bow.
21st	12 21st (12) (100/1 -100%) Takeachancejimmy	100 100/1(-100%)	(12) Takeachancejimmy 100/1, Course winner. Last of 21 in maiden hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft, 200/1) when last seen 10 months ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last outing. Seven-time winner but not seen since hurdling last Christmas and likely better for the run.
22nd	6 22nd (6) (66/1 -136%) Signora Bellissima	66 66/1(-136%)	(6) Signora Bellissima 66/1, Latest win at Navan in August. Not in same form when last of 10 in handicap (16/1) there (8f, soft) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Prominent racer has won over 1m/1m2f this season; ground okay but opposable over this trip.

LTO Selection:

Keithen Kennedy got a good tune of Yuzu to hold off a slightly unfortunate Nituna at Leopardstown two weeks ago. Both should be in the mix, while Facethepuckout will have his supporters following an emphatic Naas triumph. The in-form Blue Peak had Zephron a couple of places behind her when runner-up at Galway last week, but a chance is taken on the potential of FRAZIL. The fact Jim Bolger pitched him into a Listed contest on the back of a maiden victory surely suggests that a mark of 79 should be well within range.

Cases can be made for a number of these but the tentative vote goes to NITUNA, who is yet to get her head in front but is clearly in top form having hit the crossbar twice last month. Facethepuckout bagged his fifth career win at Naas just over 3 weeks ago, and having picked up back-to-back wins around this time last year, he's put forward as the main danger, with Sirjack Thomas and Yuzu another couple worthy of a mention.

Having done the Hamlet cigar on it in the past, there's an added risk in going for CLEAR QUARTZ but he's fresh and will love the ground

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (Evens +17%) Trelawne	0 Evens(+17%)	(1) Trelawne Evens, Made it 3-4 over hurdles when seeing off 12 rivals in 23.3f Uttoxeter handicap when last seen in March. Makes the switch to the larger obstacles and ought to have further progression in him provided he keeps his quirks in check. Leading claims for an in-form yard. 3-4 over hurdles; collected good prize in March; commands respect on this chasing debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/2 +31%) Blue Fin	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(5) Blue Fin 9/2, Runner-up on only start in bumpers and opened his account at the third time of asking over hurdles in 8-runner novice at Newcastle (16.9f) in February. Held every chance when carried out by his main market rival at the last at Sedgefield in April and now makes handicap/chase debut. Won novice hurdle last season and has pointing experience to call upon on chasing debut.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/4 +63%) Brandy McQueen	2.25 9/4(+63%)	(3) Brandy McQueen 9/4, Progressive staying hurdler in 2022/23 (4 wins) who capitalised on the mistakes of others to make a winning start over fences at Kelso (23.4f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. 6 lb rise more than fair and should have more to offer in this sphere. Progressive hurdler last season and easily won small-field chase last month.
4	6 4th (6) (50/1 -213%) Presenting Jeremy	50 50/1(-213%)	(6) Presenting Jeremy 50/1, Made winning Rules debut in a Worcester novice hurdle in spring 2021. Better for chase debut when third at Southwell final start last term but sold from Dan Skelton for only £5,500 in May. Engaged 4.08 Wetherby Saturday. Became rather disappointing for Dan Skelton; makes stable debut here.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 -200%) Conkwell Legend	12 12/1(-200%)	(2) Conkwell Legend 12/1, Low-mileage 9-y-o who resumed winning ways at Plumpton (20.5f) in March and ran equally as well in defeat when runner-up from 9 lb higher mark at Ffos Las (20f) a month later, noted staying on well. Having a second go over fences and is open to progress returning from 7 months off. Didn't get far on last year's chasing debut but was in good form over hurdles in spring.

LTO Selection:

TRELAWNE recorded victories in three of his four hurdling starts, defying a mark of 130 with ease at Uttoxeter in March, which makes him a fascinating recruit to the chasing ranks. Brandy Mcqueen couldn't have done it any easier over an extended 2m7f at Kelso on his fencing bow and has to be considered off a 6lb higher rating, while Conkwell Legend is capable of getting involved as well.

Cases can be made for most but preference is for TRELAWNE, who made it 3-4 over hurdles at Uttoxeter when last seen back in March and Kim Bailey's 7-y-o has the potential to become an even better chaser. Brandy McQueen was a wide-margin winner on his chase bow at Kelso recently, so he's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Conkwell Legend, who got no further than the first on his chasing debut at Warwick on New Year's Eve.

Topweight TRELAWNE still has significant untapped potential over hurdles but Kim Bailey is evidently very keen to switch him to fences.

1	1 1st (1) (Evens -10%) Abi's Champ	0 Evens(-10%)	(1) Abi's Champ Evens, Dual bumper winner. 5/2, creditable 6½ lengths third of 9 to Aurora Vega in listed bumper at Gowran (16f, heavy) 37 days ago. The one to beat now hurdling. Two bumper wins during the summer, sets the standard after third to Aurora Vega at Gowran.
2	2 2nd (2) (Evens +56%) Banprionsa	0 Evens(+56%)	(2) Banprionsa Evens, Bred to be smart and easily won her sole point in March. Very interesting contender on hurdle debut. Well-related mare, beat Jetaway To Getaway by 22l in a Lingstown maiden, interesting.
3	8 3rd (8) (25/1 +24%) Milanaway	25 25/1(+24%)	(8) Milanaway 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Adrian Brendan Joyce when respectable eighth of 17 in bumper (9/1) at Punchestown (16.6f, good) 26 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Best bumper form when fourth at Tramore three starts ago, others have stronger credentials.
4	19 4th (19) (10/1 +29%) Tilloughna	10 10/1(+29%)	(19) Tilloughna 10/1, Fair hurdler. Very good second of 18 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Limerick (22f, good to soft) 163 days ago, rallying. RESERVE. Reserve, possible future handicap winner judging by Limerick second, others preferred here.

6th	12 6th (12) (80/1 -21%) Barryroe Madam	80 80/1(-21%)	(12) Barryroe Madam 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (20.5f, soft) 41 days ago. Not disgraced in sixth at Roscommon, will be of more interest when qualified for handicaps.
7th	6 7th (6) (50/1 -52%) Karacole	50 50/1(-52%)	(6) Karacole 50/1, Won the Flat in France in summer 2020 but hasn't been seen since. Can only watch now hurdling for new stable. Not seen since winning a 1m6f event on good-to-firm ground in France in July 2020.
8th	7 8th (7) (11/1 -10%) Mag Dillane	11 11/1(-10%)	(7) Mag Dillane 11/1, Fair hurdler. 10/1, improved when second of 18 in maiden at Limerick (16f, heavy) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. More will be needed again. Best run so far when second in a maiden hurdle at Limerick two weeks ago, more needed.
9th	4 9th (4) (200/1 +0%) Ivy Park	200 200/1(+0%)	(4) Ivy Park 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, eighth of 12 in novice hurdle at this C&D (heavy). Off 7 months. Lost touch from halfway on belated debut at Leopardstown, struggled over C&D on second run.
16	16 \|F\| (16) (250/1 -25%) Onebrightbluerose	250 250/1(-25%)	(16) Onebrightbluerose 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fell in novice hurdle (150/1) at Limerick (21f, heavy) on hurdles bow 15 days ago. Did not show much in bumpers, fell four from home at Limerick on hurdling debut.
10th	11 10th (11) (150/1 +0%) Victorious Bay	150 150/1(+0%)	(11) Victorious Bay 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, twelfth of 16 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.5f, heavy) on NH debut 10 days ago. Good pedigree but down the field in a Clonmel maiden in which Pebble Bleu was fifth.
11th	5 11th (5) (50/1 +50%) Jetaway To Getaway	50 50/1(+50%)	(5) Jetaway To Getaway 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 11 in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, soft) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. No match for Banprionsa in a point-to-point, ordinary form over hurdles so far.
12th	17 12th (17) (50/1 +0%) Pebble Bleu	50 50/1(+0%)	(17) Pebble Bleu 50/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 66/1, fifth of 16 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.5f, heavy) on hurdles bow 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Showed some promise on her hurdling debut at Clonmel but likely to need more experience.
13th	3 13th (3) (200/1 +0%) Boblere	200 200/1(+0%)	(3) Boblere 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1, seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (23.6f, good) on hurdles bow 147 days ago. Pulled up in a point; tailed off in a Wexford bumper and in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown.
14th	13 14th (13) (100/1 +0%) Calendar House	100 100/1(+0%)	(13) Calendar House 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 100/1, unseated rider in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Has run in two bumpers and two maiden hurdles without showing any positive signs.
15th	18 15th (18) (125/1 -89%) Western Rock	125 125/1(-89%)	(18) Western Rock 125/1, (Production):fourth foal: half-sister to modest hurdler Rock On Bennie (2½m winner, by Beneficial): dam (c92/h125), 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), half-sister to very smart hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 3¼m) Holywell.

16th	10 16th (10) (200/1 +20%) Smile Again	200 200/1(+20%)	(10) Smile Again 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.5f, heavy, 100/1) 10 days ago. Did not jump well in a Clonmel maiden in which Pebble Bleu was fifth, makes no appeal.
17th	14 17th (14) (100/1 -100%) Fourleaf Shamrock	100 100/1(-100%)	(14) Fourleaf Shamrock 100/1, Arctic Cosmos filly. Dam poor maiden hurdler. Wears visor. Dam had poor form but is a half-sister to bumper/hurdles winner Mysloegin, visored.

LTO Selection:

Race-fit ABI'S CHAMP was smart in bumpers and beat a dual winner very easily at Killarney in July. She gained a blacktype placing in September, will be well schooled for jumps debut and has form on testing ground. Banprionsa was a notable point-to-point winner for Richard Black last March when beating ordinary rivals out of sight at Lingstown. She won eased down by 22 lengths and while she could be good, faces a race-fit selection. Queens Vic was a 175,000 pounds purchase in January 2022, having won her point-to-point impressively for Aidan Fitzgerald the previous November. She could also be smart but returns from a long layoff and should improve from this. Mag Dillane has minor place claims while Kilbarrry Saint ran well on point-to-point debut but isn't straightforward and runs in a tongue-tie.

It's likely this will be dominated by hurdle newcomers from top yards, with useful bumper winner ABI'S CHAMP preferred to point scorers Banprionsa and Queens Vic but the betting will help to separate them.

Dual bumper winner and Gowran Listed third ABI'S CHAMP can prove too good for point winners Banprionsa and Queens Vic

1	3 1st (3) (11/8 +72%) A Poet's Secret	1.375 11/8(+72%)	(3) A Poet's Secret 11/8, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fifth of 10 in maiden at Southwell (11.1f, 18/1) 38 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Similar form first four starts (1m4f/1m3f); considered given this looks such a weak race.
2	4 2nd (4) (6/4 -65%) Royal Athena	1.5 6/4(-65%)	(4) Royal Athena 6/4, Course winner. 9/2, first run since leaving Tom Ward when fifth of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good) on NH debut 25 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Goes well on polytrack and is worth a chance to make a successful Flat debut for the yard. Muted start for new yard in a 2m maiden hurdle but she should be more potent back here.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 -82%) Fred Bear	5 5/1(-82%)	(1) Fred Bear 5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Catterick in June. Eighth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Bath (17.1f, heavy) 18 days ago. Likely to strip fitter for that and should be back on his game. Won at Salisbury (1m6f) in May and Catterick (2m) in June; tailed off on heavy latest run.
4	2 4th (2) (8/1 +11%) Notability	8 8/1(+11%)	(2) Notability 8/1, 100/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap back on, cheekpieces on 1st time. This is his second handicap; has a big step up in trip plus tongue-tie and cheekpieces.

LTO Selection:

FRED BEAR recorded a double earlier in the year in this grade and he has now been dropped to his last winning mark after failing to fire on heavy ground at Bath last time. The five-year-old finds himself in a very winnable contest and, with Luke Morris back in the plate, he can regain the winning thread. Royal Athena and A Poet's Secret are the ones expected to put up most resistance.

ROYAL ATHENA shaped as if better for the run on hurdling/stable debut laste time and she's well treated back in this sphere, so she's likely to land a weak race. Fred Bear should be back on his game, so he's feared most and A Poet's Secret can't be ruled out.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/4 +29%) Mofasa	1.25 5/4(+29%)	(4) Mofasa 5/4, Tall gelding who won a couple of times over hurdles last season for Michale Scudamore and showed aptitude for chasing when second of 5 in a novice at Worcester on stable/chasing debut. Open to improvement and makes plenty of appeal. Good novice hurdler; likeable chase debut at Worcester behind a useful prospect.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/1 +0%) Captain Morgs	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Captain Morgs 10/1, Unreliable type but he showed the benefit of cheekpieces (retained) when winning at Cheltenham last December. Disappointing since but might have needed the run on recent chasing debu at Warwick. Useful hurdler; return to fences at Warwick was underwhelming; longer trip can help.
3	2 3rd (2) (28/1 -133%) Stellar Magic	28 28/1(-133%)	(2) Stellar Magic 28/1, Fairly useful hurdler who ran well when last seen 6 months ago and won his only outing in points, so should take to this new discipline. Dual hurdle winner who goes chasing off a competitive mark; new yard but same owners.
4	7 4th (7) (11/1 +8%) Edison Kent	11 11/1(+8%)	(7) Edison Kent 11/1, Not discredited over hurdles at this course last time but his attitude isn't convincing and he's out of the weights back in this sphere. Possible fitness edge on this return to chasing but good ground seems ideal.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 -25%) Hitching Jacking	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Hitching Jacking 5/1, Had a productive season over hurdles and has a pointing background, so one to be interested in switched to chasing after 6 months off. Last season over hurdles was productive until final race; promising chaser in the making.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (4/1 +11%) Fair Frontieres	4 4/1(+11%)	(5) Fair Frontieres 4/1, Three-time winner over hurdles who was out of his depth at Aintree when last seen but is very much the type to make a better chaser, so worthy of consideration. Dual novice hurdle winner in 2022; long-time absent but likely improver now chasing.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (8/1 -45%) Bridge North	8 8/1(-45%)	(6) Bridge North 8/1, Very useful hurdler who made a winning start over fences in 3-runner handicap chase at Newbury (23.4f, soft) in March. Fell at Perth next time but remains with potential after 6 months off. Beat a good horse on chase debut at Newbury; fell at Perth but remains interesting.

LTO Selection:

An intriguing event could go the way of MOFASA, who made a pleasing debut over fences at Worcester in September. The winner of that contest finished second to Flooring Porter next time and it would be no surprise were Paul Nicholls' charge to improve now sent into handicaps. Fair Frontieres was last seen finishing sixth in the Grade 1 Sefton Novices' Hurdle at Aintree in April 2022 and must enter calculations despite the lengthy absence. Captain Morgs should not be underestimated either.

MOFASA is the type to make a better chaser than hurdler and made a solid start for his current stable when second in a novice chase at Worcester. He's the obvious answer although chasing-debutants Fair Frontieres and Hitching Jacking are of definite interest.

An interesting race. BRIDGE NORTH and Mofasa have already shown they can jump a fence and the selection looked good at Newbury.

13:50 Curragh Handicap 5f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (14/1 -40%) Mickey The Steel	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) Mickey The Steel 14/1, 11/8, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Bellewstown (5f, heavy) 39 days ago by 3¾ lengths from Transcendental, comfortably. Enters calculations. Beat Transcendental at Bellewstown; up 7lb for that and another good apprentice rides.
2	12 2nd (12) (15/2 +53%) Transcendental	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(12) Transcendental 15/2, Course winner. Respectable 3¾ lengths sixth of 19 to Greek Flower in handicap at this course (5.9f, heavy, 18/1) 5 days ago. Beaten roughly 4 lengths in each of her last six outings; has to find a bit more.
3	3 3rd (3) (16/5 +29%) Stag Night	3.2 16/5(+29%)	(3) Stag Night 16/5, Course winner. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (4/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 22 days ago. Shortlist material. Had good track position when winning by nearly 5l at Naas; possibly favoured by draw again.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 +0%) Two Stars	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Two Stars 10/1, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 9/1, won 15-runner maiden at Cork (6f, soft) in May, regaining the lead final 100 yds. Absent since but unlikely that will prove his limit now attentions switch to handicaps. Totally unexposed but been off six months since maiden win at Cork (6f, soft/heavy).
5th	1 5th (1) (10/1 +0%) Laugh A Minute	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Laugh A Minute 10/1, Useful sprinter who struck fast and late when gaining third C&D victory on penultimate start in September. Not at best in Coral Sprint Trophy at York on latest start but no surprise to see him bounce back returned to home soil. Last three wins have come over C&D; effective hold-up sprinter but stiff mark now.
6th	9 6th (9) (11/2 +54%) Magical Vision	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(9) Magical Vision 11/2, 11/4, below form 6½ lengths ninth of 19 to Greek Flower in handicap at this course (5.9f, heavy) 5 days ago. Others more persuasive. Three-time winner (5f/6f) on heavy; disappointing fav behind Greek Flower here on Tuesday.
7th	10 7th (10) (10/1 +17%) Curraheen Princess	10 10/1(+17%)	(10) Curraheen Princess 10/1, C&D winner. Eight wins from 30 Flat runs. Latest win at Bellewstown in July. 5/1, 5¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Screen Siren in handicap at Navan (5f, heavy) 18 days ago. Eight wins have all come over 5f; well held lately including behind Screen Siren at Navan.
8th	11 8th (11) (10/1 +0%) Rathbranchurch	10 10/1(+0%)	(11) Rathbranchurch 10/1, 5/2, respectable 4¼ lengths second of 11 to Screen Siren in handicap at Navan (5f, heavy) 18 days ago. Expected to go well again. Hardy 3yo third over C&D and second to Screen Siren at Navan since winning at latter venue.
9th	8 9th (8) (7/2 +42%) Greek Flower	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(8) Greek Flower 7/2, Career best when winning 19-runner handicap (9/1) at this course (5.9f, heavy) 5 days ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Merits respect under a penalty in bid to land the hat-trick. Built on 5f Navan maiden win when beating 18 rivals over 6f here on Tuesday; 1lb well in.
10th	5 10th (5) (40/1 -150%) Gordon Bennett	40 40/1(-150%)	(5) Gordon Bennett 40/1, C&D winner. 10/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good) 85 days ago, slowly away and unable to land a blow. Others preferred. Rounded off last season with C&D victory off 90; nothing like that form this time around.
11th	6 11th (6) (33/1 -65%) Wave Machine	33 33/1(-65%)	(6) Wave Machine 33/1, Course winner. Latest win at Down Royal in September. Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, soft, 11/1) 32 days ago. More needed Birdcatcher winner this time last year; again relished heavy when winning at Down Royal.
12th	14 12th (14) (125/1 -213%) Billboa	125 125/1(-213%)	(14) Billboa 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, below form 8¾ lengths seventh of 15 to Greek Flower in maiden at Navan (5f, heavy) 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Maiden was well behind Greek Flower when returning from layoff at Navan; 9lb wrong.

LTO Selection:

STAG NIGHT made light work of a competitive field at Naas last month and the son of Tagula was hit with a 12lb rise for that success, which considering the manner of that victory could prove a lenient move, so he can record a double. Screen Siren went in by just over four lengths at Navan last month and as long as she remains in that sort of form, she could get involved. Of the remainder, Greek Flower and Laugh A Minute appeal most in an open contest.

A host of in-form sorts in opposition with the vote in favour of STAG NIGHT. A facile winner at Naas on his latest outing 22 days ago, he's unexposed at the minimum trip, and with his rider's claim off-setting a large chunk of his rise in the weights, he can be expected to make his presence felt again. Screen Siren is a thriving mare and she's feared, as is the hat-trick seeking Greek Flower.

Several come here at the top of their game. That's not the case with MYMOMENTINTIME but his C&D third two starts back gives him a shout

13:55 Carlisle Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (9/4 +10%) Dunnet Head	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(3) Dunnet Head 9/4, Made a winning debut in a bumper at Ayr in October 2022 and shaped well when in the frame over hurdles at Kelso and here last winter. Returns after a wind op for his handicap debut on a good mark. Interesting. Won a bumper on debut and made the frame on both hurdling starts; handicap debut today.
2	6 2nd (6) (12/1 -41%) V Twelve	12 12/1(-41%)	(6) V Twelve 12/1, Fairly useful 10f winner on the Flat for Ed Walker. Similar form shown in three hurdling runs, fifth of ten in 2m Hexham novice last time. May do better now going into handicaps. Respectable fifth in Hexham novice last month and open to improvement in handicap hurdles.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 -17%) Applaus	14 14/1(-17%)	(2) Applaus 14/1, 3-time C&D winner but he's an untrustworthy individual. Only seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle here (20f, soft) 17 days ago so others are more persuasive. Won twice on inner track here last season and ran well for a long way over 2m4f last month.
4	8 4th (8) (11/1 +0%) Malangen	11 11/1(+0%)	(8) Malangen 11/1, Landed his fourth hurdling win at Perth (2m) in September. Not disgraced when fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 10 days ago so he needs shortlisting. Gave pretty good account when fifth in higher-grade C&D race ten days ago; not ruled out.
5th	7 5th (7) (7/1 +13%) Gavin	7 7/1(+13%)	(7) Gavin 7/1, Completed a hat-trick over hurdles at Ffos Las in June. Has continued in good nick, though he raced too freely up in trip when sixth in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester 24 days ago. Can go well reverted in distance. Triple hurdle winner on good ground in early part of season; needs to better recent form.
6th	11 6th (11) (8/1 +27%) Frightened Rabbit	8 8/1(+27%)	(11) Frightened Rabbit 8/1, Won at Hexham in re-fitted cheekpieces for Dianne Sayer in May 2022, but well below that form since, including in 5 runs for this yard. More is needed despite a plummeting mark. Patently not the force of old but ran well for a long way in big field here ten days ago.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -56%) Diamand De Vindecy	25 25/1(-56%)	(4) Diamand De Vindecy 25/1, Fair performer on the level in France and in three runs over hurdles for his current yard last term. Not discounted on his return to this sphere. Four-time Flat winner in France and made the frame in two maiden hurdles last season.
8th	5 8th (5) (15/2 -88%) Noble Affair	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(5) Noble Affair 15/2, Got off the mark over hurdles at Hexham in April and posted a good second of 6 in handicap hurdle there (20.1f, heavy) 30 days ago. Can give another good account off just 1 lb higher mark. Game winner at Hexham in April and ran well there last month, after a break.
9th	9 9th (9) (16/1 +20%) Kopa Kilana	16 16/1(+20%)	(9) Kopa Kilana 16/1, Bumper winner but yet to surpass modest form over hurdles, though not disgraced in face of a stiff task when fifth in 21f Kelso novice 28 days ago. Likely to prove vulnerable once more. Didn't run badly in Kelso novice last month but now 0-12 over hurdles; others preferred.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (5/1 +23%) Ibbenburen	5 5/1(+23%)	(1) Ibbenburen 5/1, Successful twice from 4 starts in his novice campaign in 2021. Off 23 months below posting a below-par fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft, 12/1) 47 days ago. Needs to step forward. Returned from long absence with encouraging handicap debut in September; interesting.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (40/1 +0%) A Cheap Thrill	40 40/1(+0%)	(10) A Cheap Thrill 40/1, Fair hurdler/chaser for Emmet Mullins who hasn't fired as yet for current stable and was pulled up at Hexham last time. Easy to look elsewhere. Has completed only one of four chases for this stable; now reverts to hurdling.

LTO Selection:

Noble Affair was only denied by half a length at Hexham last month and she should remain competitive off just 1lb higher, but the drop in distance could work against her. For that reason, the vote goes to MALANGEN, who has struggled most recently but struck in this sort of company at Perth in September off only a 1lb lower rating and he should relish conditions. Gavin has put in some solid displays this year and completes the shortlist.

Iain Jardine's DUNNET HEAD looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut and can build on the promise shown over hurdles last term to add to his previous bumper success. Noble Affair is feared most on the back of his good recent Hexham second ahead of Gavin, who should prove suited by dropping back in trip.

Topweight IBBENBUREN is well handicapped on his 2021 novice form and returned from a long layoff with an encouraging run in September.

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (5/2 +0%) Solitary Man	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(2) Solitary Man 5/2, Useful hurdler. 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Good neck second of 7 to reopposing Desert Heather in novice hurdle at this course (24.2f, good to soft, 5/2) 21 days ago. Should go well again. Improved up in trip lately; just denied over C&D by Desert Heather last time; can go close.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 +0%) What Path	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(1) What Path 5/2, Useful hurdler. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Kilbeggan in June. Last of 6 in minor event hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 4/1) 43 days ago. Capable of bouncing back. Ran a cracker when 2nd in Galway novice but below form at Listowel; chance if rebounding.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/2 +15%) Pinyon Jay	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(5) Pinyon Jay 11/2, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Excellent 4½ lengths third of 7 to reopposing Desert Heather in novice hurdle (8/1) at this course (24.2f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Maiden winner was 4.5l behind Desert Heather over C&D last time; cheekpieces tried now.
4	7 4th (7) (9/4 +25%) Desert Heather	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(7) Desert Heather 9/4, Useful hurdler. Didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner novice hurdle (15/8) at this course (24.2f, good to soft) 21 days ago by neck from Solitary Man. Expected to be bang there. Did well to beat some of these over C&D last time on return; big chance with improvement.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/1 -29%) Brave Fortune	11 11/1(-29%)	(4) Brave Fortune 11/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 16 in bumper at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft, 11/1) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Starts out over hurdles in a good race. Promising bumper run in spring and won a point' last month; this looks ambitious.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -65%) Ah Fuhgeddaboudit	66 66/1(-65%)	(6) Ah Fuhgeddaboudit 66/1, Modest hurdler. 20/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, 28½ lengths sixth of 7 to Cool Survivor in listed hurdle at this C&D (heavy). Off 12 months. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan. Some decent runs for former yard but was well beaten in this race when last seen.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (50/1 -150%) The Shantou King	50 50/1(-150%)	(3) The Shantou King 50/1, Fair hurdler. 11/1, career best when winning 17-runner novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 46 days ago, pushed out. Significantly up in trip. Should improve. Improved form to win a Listowel maiden last time but needs plenty more now.

LTO Selection:

SOLITARY MAN might turn recent course-and-distance placings with Desert Heather and win. Unproven on heavy ground he is nonetheless progressive, jumps and stays well, and is 11lb better off with Desert Heather for that recent neck defeat. Connections of Desert Heather expected her to improve fitness-wise for that success but she is also 9lb worse-off with third-placed Pinyon Jay, which today is tried in first-time cheekpieces. Top weight What Path might prefer good ground, was reported to be clinically abnormal at Listowel in September 2022 and disappointed again at that venue on his latest run, this September. The Shantou King and point-to-point winner Brave Fortun both step up in grade.

DESERT HEATHER was confidently ridden to edge ahead of Solitary Man late on here last month and can confirm her superiority over Enda Bolger's charge and extend her winning run to 4. What A Path should also have a big say if anywhere near his best form.

DESERT HEATHER is worse off today with Solitary Man and \bPinyon Jay\from her C&D win last time but can confirm the form.

1	1 1st (1) (6/4 +0%) Golden Arrow	1.5 6/4(+0%)	(1) Golden Arrow 6/4, Won 5-runner maiden at Hamilton (5f, good, 13/8) on debut 175 days ago. Slight concern that he's been off since but he has the potential for better. £200,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; won a five-runner maiden at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in May.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/8 +0%) Thunder Blue	1.375 11/8(+0%)	(2) Thunder Blue 11/8, Fairly useful colt. Blinkered for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, 24 lengths last of 9 to Vandeek in Prix Morny at Deauville (6f, good to soft, 76/1) 77 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Fifth at Royal Ascot and fourth at Newmarket in July in another Group 2, best form in this.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 +25%) The Cutest	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(5) The Cutest 9/2, Once-raced maiden. 14/1, fifth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 13 days ago. Open to improvement. Kept on well when fifth of 11 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 13 days ago; looks sure to improve.
4	4 4th (4) (14/1 -87%) It's Showtime	14 14/1(-87%)	(4) It's Showtime 14/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, fourth of 9 in minor event at Kempton (6f) on debut 39 days ago. More required. 16-1, prominent long way when 3l fourth of nine in novice at Kempton (6f, AW) in September.
5th	3 5th (3) (66/1 +0%) New York Bob	66 66/1(+0%)	(3) New York Bob 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 25/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 29 days ago. Up against it. 25-1, faded into eighth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) four weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

Thunder Blue, highly tried in Group company since a Goodwood maiden win, sets a decent standard but the unexposed GOLDEN ARROW could have his measure. The 200,000-pound breeze-up purchase hasn't been sighted since a winning debut at Hamilton in May and, as long as the market vibes aren't negative, he's likely good enough to defy a penalty in this company. The Cutest looks the pick of the remainder.

THUNDER BLUE hasn't fired the last twice but this is a marked drop in grade and he has the best form, so he takes narrow preference over Golden Arrow, who made a successful debut at Hamilton 5 months ago but hasn't been seen since. The Cutest is also open to improvement.

Thunder Blue has to be the starting point for calculations with his Group-race form but GOLDEN ARROW could be a serious rival.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (9/4 -20%) Take No Chances	2.25 9/4(-20%)	(6) Take No Chances 9/4, Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and she displayed fairly useful form on 2 of her 3 starts in bumpers last term. In excellent hands and she's well worthy of a second look now tackling timber for the first time. Irish point winner who came across some good horses in her bumpers; should go well.
2	10 2nd (10) (33/1 +0%) Phone Home	33 33/1(+0%)	(10) Phone Home 33/1, Telescope filly who despite still looking in need of the experience, stepped forward from her debut effort when fourth of 8 in mares' maiden hurdle at Southwell in May. Still, handicaps probably going to be more her bag in this sphere. 2m has looked too sharp in her first two runs; well related and can do better.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/2 +53%) Della Casa Lunga	3.5 7/2(+53%)	(1) Della Casa Lunga 7/2, Steadily progressive novice hurdler for S. Curling in Ireland last term (successful at 2m). Changed hands for £150,000 in May but proved to be a disappointment on return in Grade 2 Persian War at Chepstow (19.5f) 23 days ago. Too soon to write off. Useful Irish form; perhaps unwise to read too much into her recent Grade 2 defeat.
4	7 4th (7) (16/1 +36%) After Many Days	16 16/1(+36%)	(7) After Many Days 16/1, Getaway filly who shaped with a good degree of promise amidst inexperience when fourth of 10 on debut in bumper at Ludlow (15.7f) back in May. Yard know this family well and this longer trip promises to suit now hurdling on return. Stoutly bred so did well to finish fourth in a bumper at Ludlow.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +25%) Brief Statement	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Brief Statement 12/1, £45,000 5-y-o, Flemensfirth mare. Dam, runner-up in points, closely related to fairly useful hurdler/useful chase winner (stayed 3m) St Barts. Easy winner of sole start in Irish points (Feb 25) and market should guide with yard also saddling Mrs Tabitha. The form of her point win is nothing too exciting; bought for £45,000.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (3/1 -9%) Miss Oreo	3 3/1(-9%)	(2) Miss Oreo 3/1, Winning pointer who displayed some promise in bumpers and took a marked step forward to make a winning hurdles debut in a mares' maiden at Fairyhouse (20.5f) in October, soon well clear and winning unchallenged. Respected for shrewd yard. Jumped well at Fairyhouse and would be dangerous if let loose on the lead.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (8/1 -14%) Mrs Tabitha	8 8/1(-14%)	(9) Mrs Tabitha 8/1, Jack Hobbs filly who makes plenty of appeal on paper and she value for extra over bare result when making winning debut in a Bangor bumper (16.6f) back in April, leading final 100 yds and forging clear. Interesting hurdles debutante. Responded well for pressure to come clear and win her bumper at Bangor.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (17/2 -6%) Iliade Allen	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(5) Iliade Allen 17/2, £130,000 purchase having won second of 3 starts in bumpers for Nick Williams but absent since finishing down the field in Grade 2 Aintree bumper 19 months ago. Still, leading yard's runners rarely lack for fitness and she's well worth a look on return/now hurdling. Had wind op. Eyecatching bumper form two seasons ago; had wind op during long absence.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (80/1 -400%) Lucky Punch	80 80/1(-400%)	(8) Lucky Punch 80/1, Yorgunnabelucky filly. Third sole start in point bumpers (Apr 1) but she could only run to a poor level when finishing midfield in 10-runner mares' bumper at Fontwell (17.7f) in May. Hurdles debut. Beaten about 10l in both her bumpers, one a point version and the other at Fontwell.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (125/1 -89%) Cheap Flights	125 125/1(-89%)	(4) Cheap Flights 125/1, Shirocco mare. Dam (c102/h102) bumper winner who stayed 2¾m. Finished remote third on debut in a mares' maiden at Hereford (16.2f) 3 weeks ago. Passed over here. Dropped out to finish a very remote third on her hurdling debut at Hereford.

LTO Selection:

Mrs Tabitha looked one to follow when comfortably winning her only start in bumpers and she looks to have a serious chance. Iliade Allen is of interest returning from a wind operation following a poor run in a top-class bumper at Aintree in 2022, but MISS OREO could be the one to beat. The five-year-old made all to win a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last month and the booking of Harry Cobden suggests that she could have a big say.

Plenty to ponder in an interesting mares' event and hurdles debutante TAKE NO CHANCES gets the narrow vote. Dan Skelton's mare displayed a good deal of promise in bumpers last term and this longer trip promises to suit now her attentions switch to timber. Irish-raider Miss Oreo is a threat with a repeat of her latest Fairyhouse display, whilst the returning Iliade Allen is another to note on hurdles bow for her all-conquering stable.

Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Not out of things from this sort of mark on pick of form.

Bit below form 7¾ lengths ninth of 15 to Curvature in listed race (12/1) at Naas (8f, heavy) 21 days ago, short of room over 1f out and one paced. No surprise to see him thereabouts.

Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. 5/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Naas (7f, soft) 22 days ago, no match for winner. Merits consideration. Almost always thereabouts including in better races but seems to have forgotten how to win.

Others arrive with more pressing claims. Losing run of over two years; couple of good runs this term but well held in recent starts.
10th	1 10th (1) (11/1 -47%) Martinstown	11 11/1(-47%)	(1) Martinstown 11/1, Lightly-raced winner. Respectable third of 10 in handicap (11/8) at Dundalk (10.7f) 16 days ago, outpaced early in straight and staying on. Drop to 1m may not suit ideally but he remains low-mileage. First run back at 1m and ground concerns too but there's no doubt he has potential.
11th	12 11th (12) (20/1 -43%) Excuzio Joe	20 20/1(-43%)	(12) Excuzio Joe 20/1, 9/2, ninth of 11 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 14 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Something to find on form. Ran well on yard debut after long layoff when second at Gowran but well beaten since.
12th	9 12th (9) (33/1 -65%) Soaring Monarch	33 33/1(-65%)	(9) Soaring Monarch 33/1, 18/1, fifteenth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, heavy) 14 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Well held in premier handicaps since 1m2f win at Roscommon on reappearance.
13th	10 13th (10) (22/1 -57%) Arniemac	22 22/1(-57%)	(10) Arniemac 22/1, Promising sort. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in minor event (5/4) at Laytown (7.2f) 54 days ago, possibly not at home on the track. Had looked progressive previously and this low-mileage sort remains open to improvement back on turf for new yard. Easily beat a horse now rated 82 in Killarney maiden and has a bit of form on soft ground.

LTO Selection:

A fiercely competitive handicap full of in-form options, possibly headed by the lightly-raced GREY LEADER, who has won three of his five starts and looks to remain on an upward curve. Simply Sideways struck under Wayne Hassett at Tipperary and then couldn't get competitive in a Naas Listed heat. She can go close with a clearer passage, while Flame Of Eire is also dropped in class and easy Galway winner San Aer is another to seriously consider.

INDIGO FIVE is less exposed than most and took a step forward when opening her account in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago, travelling well and suited by coming off the strong pace. With further progress in the offing, she could be up to defying this revised mark. Arniemac is an interesting contender also on debut for Ross O'Sullivan, with Grey Leader and Simply Sideways another pair on the shortlist.

A smooth winner at Galway on Monday, SAN AER will again have conditions to suit and can follow up

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (11/8 +31%) Thunder Rock	1.375 11/8(+31%)	(6) Thunder Rock 11/8, Four-time hurdle winner who also landed 2 novice handicap chases last autumn. Smart effort when second in 20.5f Grade 2 at Ayr on his final start in April. Likely to have a big say on his return. Strong form in defeat in Graded novice chases last season and he's firmly in calculations.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +25%) Mahler Mission	3 3/1(+25%)	(4) Mahler Mission 3/1, Progressive 3-time winner over hurdles and improved further over fences, second in a 3m Grade 2 novice at Navan before looking the likely winner (5 lengths up) when falling 2 out in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham (3¾m). Leading form claims on reappearance but the trip might be on short side. 4l ahead when falling two out in 3m6f NH Chase; surplus stamina a plus; leading claims.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +27%) Bill Baxter	4 4/1(+27%)	(2) Bill Baxter 4/1, Four wins as a first-season chaser, culminating with a game success in the Topham over the National fences at Aintree (21f, good to soft). Likely has even more to come this term. Highly progressive last season, winning the Topham; could still have more to offer.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (4/1 +20%) Bass Rock	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Bass Rock 4/1, Won the 2½m handicap hurdle on this card on his reappearance 2 years ago and also made a successful start to last season in a course novice chase. Has a bit to find on form but that excellent record fresh makes him a dangerous one to discount. Relying on others underperforming but he has a good record here when fresh in autumn.

LTO Selection:

If Monbeg Genius and 2022 winner Beauport both run at Ascot on Saturday as expected, this may fall the way of MAHLER MISSION, officially the highest rated horse in the field and clear when falling two out in the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. He can make the journey over from Ireland worthwhile, assuming a clear round, with the improving Bill Baxter and Ayr Grade 2 second Thunder Rock likeliest to follow him home.

THUNDER ROCK was smart at around this trip last season and might have too much speed for Irish-raider Mahler Mission, who was 5 lengths to the good when departing 2 out in the 3¾m National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in March.

The Irish-trained front-runner MAHLER MISSION can make a winning reappearance, with the consistent Thunder Rock second choice.

1	2 1st (2) (5/4 +50%) Letsbeclearaboutit	1.25 5/4(+50%)	(2) Letsbeclearaboutit 5/4, Promising type. 1 win from 1 run this season. 4/6, career best when winning 8-runner novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) on debut over fences 36 days ago, easily. Should have more to offer. Player. Form of debut chase win was boosted by the second when runner-up in the Munster National.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/1 -33%) Mighty Tom	10 10/1(-33%)	(4) Mighty Tom 10/1, Smart hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Killarney in May. Good second of 10 in handicap hurdle (5/2) at Killarney (17f, soft) 72 days ago. Makes chase debut and much respected. Progressive hurdler this year after joining this yard, lacks chasing experience.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +0%) Senecia	5 5/1(+0%)	(7) Senecia 5/1, Useful chaser. Good neck second of 6 to Hercule Du Seuil in Buck House Novices' Chase (12/1) at Punchestown (18.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago, finishing strongly. Tongue strap on 1st time. Can go well again. Enhancing reputation with second to Hercule Du Seuil at Punchestown, tongue-tie on now.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -20%) Lucid Dreams	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Lucid Dreams 12/1, Useful hurdler. 4 wins from 7 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Sligo in September. Should improve so needs considering. Won on chase debut at Sligo, 12l behind today's rival Senecia at Punchestown last time.
5th	1 5th (1) (15/2 +38%) Solness	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(1) Solness 15/2, Useful chaser. 33/1, good second of 8 in novice chase at Galway (18.2f, good to soft) 94 days ago. Can give another good account. Two odds-on wins in the spring, twice second to excellent yardstick Hercule Du Seuil.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 -33%) Power Of Pause	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Power Of Pause 8/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. 3/1, career best when winning 9-runner novice chase at Listowel (22f, soft) on debut over fences 46 days ago, driven out. Firmly in the picture. Much more on his plate now than when beating an error-prone favourite at Listowel.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (5/1 -50%) Perceval Legallois	5 5/1(-50%)	(5) Perceval Legallois 5/1, Useful winner at 24f over hurdles. 10/3, career best when winning 8-runner novice chase at Galway (18.5f, heavy) on debut over fences 33 days ago, impressively. Should progress. Jumped well and won easily on chasing debut at Galway, helps to give trainer a strong hand.

LTO Selection:

LETSBECLEARABOUTIT finished fourth in Cheltenham's Albert Bartlett Hurdle and won impressively on recent chase debut. A stayer who revels in testing conditions, he effortlessly defeated the subsequent Munster National-runner-up at Gowran. Senecia beat Lucid Dreams by 12 lengths in a fast-run race last month but that form might be turned around. Lucid Dreams set a fierce pace then and, if more measured, could benefit from this distance. Senecia in contrast arrived from off the pace at Punchestown but is unproven on heavy and, worryingly, runs in a first-time tongue-tie. Power Of Pause is in-and-out and faces a tougher task than when winning at Listowel while Perceval Legallois won a lesser chase over 2m2f at Galway but his best form is at three miles. Ex-French Solness's Irish form is on a sound surface while Mighty Tom debuts in a tough chase and prefers easier ground.

LETSBECLEARBOUTIT made the perfect start over fences when easilly going in at Gowran and can take this step up in class in his stride at the chief expense of Listowel-winner Power of Pause, who also has more to offer. Perceval Legallois and Lucid Dreams need considering too in an intriguing contest.

Gavin Cromwell is influential here. LETSBECLEARABOUTIT beat a useful type at Gowran, and may take the measure of Perceval Legallois

1	2 1st (2) (7/2 -17%) Glamorous Express	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(2) Glamorous Express 7/2, In good form until coming in a below form fifth of 10 on his AW debut in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 7/1) 15 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Weighted to go well. Sole win (16 races) was in 2021 but he's considered on recent evidence; unproven on AW.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/4 +13%) Mumayaz	1.75 7/4(+13%)	(1) Mumayaz 7/4, Is knocking on the door, second for the third consecutive start in 7f handicap (11/10) at this course 9 days ago. Player off an unchanged mark. Placed in six of his seven starts for this yard and runner-up in the last three.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +60%) Sir Rodneyredblood	2 2/1(+60%)	(3) Sir Rodneyredblood 2/1, C&D winner. 9/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 8 days ago. In the picture again. Not firing on all cylinders recently but he's 3lb below his last winning mark (March).
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 +68%) Lahina Bay	7 7/1(+68%)	(4) Lahina Bay 7/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Salisbury in September. Failed to get home upped to 7f when tenth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 28/1) 4 days ago. Not ruled out now back in distance. Triple 6f turf winner this year; showed promise here on reappearance.
5th	5 5th (5) (18/1 -144%) Peggoty	18 18/1(-144%)	(5) Peggoty 18/1, Winner at Chelmsford in August 2022 but yet to build on that and not seen for a year since leaving Ed Walker, so hard to weigh up on return. 6f AW maiden win; off since last October and this is her first run since leaving Ed Walker.

LTO Selection:

Mumayaz has placed in five of his last six outings but may have to settle for minor honours once again with SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD preferred. The six-year-old returned to form with a fine third from a wide draw at Chelmsford last week and, given that he's now slipped 3lb below his last winning mark, this looks within his range. Glamorous Express was unsuited by the sedate pace at Wolverhampton last time and isn't ruled out.

Tony Carroll looks to hold a strong hand here and his in-form top-weight MUMAYAZ is fancied to gain a deserved success and edge out his stablemate Glamorous Express who has his first try on polytrack and is weighted to go close if taking to the surface. C&D winner Sir Rodneyredblood is another who can have a say in a tightly-knit handicap.

2	7 2nd (7) (9/2 -29%) Forget The Way	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(7) Forget The Way 9/2, Fair winning hurdler though was a bit disappointing last time. Makes chase debut. Consistent hurdler now making chase debut but may need goodish ground.
3	3 3rd (3) (8/1 -100%) Desque De L'Isle	8 8/1(-100%)	(3) Desque De L'Isle 8/1, Looked as good as ever with comeback run under his belt, bagging pair of Ludlow handicaps (at 2m) in November/December. Disappointed last 2 starts but begins new season on winning mark. Able when fresh, on a good mark and returns under his optimum conditions.
4	6 4th (6) (9/4 +44%) Clonakilty	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(6) Clonakilty 9/4, Made the most of a good opportunity in 2m Uttoxeter maiden hurdle in December but failed to kick on after, falling on final start. Off 6 months. Makes chase debut (runner-up only start in Irish points). Maiden hurdle winner; second in only point and will probably raise his game over fences.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (2/1 +43%) New Found Fame	2 2/1(+43%)	(5) New Found Fame 2/1, Made winning debut in a Uttoxeter novice hurdle (19.9f) but failed to build on that all 5 starts last season. Off 7 months. Makes chase debut. Novice hurdle winner; all his form is over further but he's bred to make a chaser.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (22/1 -120%) Orange Diamond	22 22/1(-120%)	(4) Orange Diamond 22/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler in France. Makes U.K/chase debut on potentially good mark on pick of hurdles form, Had 11 runs over hurdles in France and won two, at around 2m1f on very soft ground.

LTO Selection:

FORGET THE WAY only came home in front once from nine starts over hurdles, but he made the frame in five others and is bred to be better over fences. Desque De L'Isle won a better race off this mark in December last year and with experience on his side, he could go well. Clonakilty could also be a danger if he takes to the larger obstacles at the first attempt.

DESQUE DE L'ISLE starts the new campaign on a winning mark and can put his experience to good use up against mostly chasing newcomers. Orange Diamond is potentially on a good mark on the pick of his French form so is feared most.

Course winner. 40/1, very good second of 30 in handicap at this course (16.8f, heavy) 42 days ago, met some trouble. Leading claims. Fine second in Irish Cesarewitch over C&D and revised mark means he's the one to beat.

3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 +31%) Jesse Evans	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(2) Jesse Evans 9/2, Useful gelding. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Killarney in August. 10/1, respectable sixth of 31 in handicap at Newmarket (18f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Not dismissed. Getting 7lb when just behind Falcon Eight in Irish Cesarewitch; sixth in English version.

6th	3 6th (3) (14/1 -250%) Shanroe	14 14/1(-250%)	(3) Shanroe 14/1, Smart gelding. Course winner. Career best when winning 5-runner listed race at Chester (14.4f, good to soft, 17/2) 64 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Divine Jewel, responding well. Tongue strap back on. Definite player. Grand 9yo made all to beat four rivals in 1m6f Listed contest at Chester two months ago.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 +0%) Typewriter	14 14/1(+0%)	(7) Typewriter 14/1, Useful filly. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, respectable eighth of 31 in handicap at Newmarket (18f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Stable having good spell. Has work to do. British-trained visitor is lowest-rated of these; long time winless and hard to fancy.

LTO Selection:

Shanroe recorded a game success in the Chester Stakes and must be respected as he goes in search of a hat-trick, while Jesse Evans has gone well in both the Irish and English Cesarewitch. Preference, however, is for FALCON EIGHT, who is 3lb clear on official ratings and can build on his runner-up effort in the Irish Cesarewitch, with no concerns regarding ground conditions. The talented Echoes In Rain should not be underestimated either.

The classy FALCON EIGHT arrives on the back of an excellent second in the Irish Cesarewitch and, if he can repeat that form he should be landing this. Echoes In Rain is an obvious threat and Shanroe is worthy of consideration on the back of a career-best effort.

Jesse Evans and Echoes In Rain are capable of big runs but the form book points towards FALCON EIGHT (nap).

1	6 1st (6) (9/1 -100%) Fingal's Hill	9 9/1(-100%)	(6) Fingal's Hill 9/1, Did well to make up ground from off the pace in a falsely-run race when completing a handicap hat-trick at Hexham when last seen in May and a 3 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid if he's ready to roll after 6 months off. Unexposed 7yo who landed a spring hat-trick; has to be respected on his return.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/2 +58%) Shallow River	2.5 5/2(+58%)	(8) Shallow River 5/2, Fairly useful 2m winner for Fergal O'Brien who arrives on the back of a pair of good runner-up efforts over 21f for his new yard last month. Likely to be in the mix again. Runner-up on both starts last month and has a race-fitness edge; key player.
3	10 3rd (10) (17/2 +29%) The King Of May	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(10) The King Of May 17/2, Better known as a fairly useful chaser but he showed he can still be competitive back hurdling when 7 lengths fourth of 10 on his Sedgefield reappearance 14 days ago. Is 5 lb out of the handicap here, though. Only fourth at Sedgefield but may be sharper for that run; well treated on his chase form.

5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 -75%) Foster'sisland	14 14/1(-75%)	(3) Foster'sisland 14/1, Likeable type who found a bit more improvement to land a Bangor handicap when last seen 7 months ago. Might strip fitter for this return, however. Engaged 3.30 Wetherby Saturday. Won by 8l at Bangor in March when last seen; a possible; non-runner at Wetherby yesterday.
6th	7 6th (7) (6/1 +33%) Theme Tune	6 6/1(+33%)	(7) Theme Tune 6/1, Course novice winner for Jonjo O'Neill who, despite indifferent jumping, won a pair of 3m handicap hurdles for this yard last winter. Respectable fifth at Kelso when last seen in March. Down in trip for reappearance., 2 staying wins last term; drops back in trip but this will be a stamina test in the ground.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (4/1 +20%) Carcaci Castle	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) Carcaci Castle 4/1, Bumper winner in Ireland who looked a useful prospect when landing 2m maiden/novice hurdles at Kelso last December for Sandy Thomson. Pulled up in a Grade 2 novice back there in March but still appeals as one who can go on to better things in handicaps. The yard won this in 2021. Unexposed handicap newcomer who retains potential, especially now up in trip.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (25/1 -150%) Baron De Midleton	25 25/1(-150%)	(4) Baron De Midleton 25/1, Three small-field chase wins in blinkers last season. Ran poorly at Ayr final start. Well held over hurdles on last season's reappearance. Watching brief advised on return. Two-time hurdle winner who is well treated on last season's chase form (won here).
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (40/1 -82%) Polisud	40 40/1(-82%)	(9) Polisud 40/1, Fairly useful chase/hurdle winner at best in France but pulled up on his yard debut at Wetherby in January and not seen since. Can only be watched. Pulled up on sole British start but scoped dirty and he's a three-time winner in France.

LTO Selection:

Baron De Midleton struck over fences on his first two starts following wind surgery last season, and he races off a lower mark over the smaller obstacles. Carcaci Castle might get involved if he can recapture his better Kelso form at this track, but preference lies with FINGAL'S HILL. The seven-year-old only does enough to win narrowly, making him hard to handicap, and he might make it four in a row if ready to roll after a six-month break.

Although CARCACI CASTLE failed to make an impact in a Grade 2 novice when last seen in March he still has the profile of one who can go on to better things in handicaps this term and he gets the nod for Sandy Thomson and Ryan Mania. Fingal's Hill will pose a threat if resuming in the same form as when completing a hat-trick in the spring. Shallow River has made a solid start for his new trainer Milton Harris and should also be on the premises.

The form of the heavy-ground novice hurdle CARCACI CASTLE won at Kelso last December worked out well and he gets the nod.

9th	4 9th (4) (50/1 -25%) Cavalry Master	50 50/1(-25%)	(4) Cavalry Master 50/1, Six wins from 18 NH runs. 40/1, first run since leaving Henry De Bromhead when eleventh of 12 in handicap chase at Limerick (24f, heavy) 14 days ago. Good novice in 2021, tailed off in last month's Munster National on stable debut.
5	5 \|U\| (5) (10/1 -25%) Flash De Touzaine	10 10/1(-25%)	(5) Flash De Touzaine 10/1, Latest win in chase at Galway in October 2022. Good third of 18 in handicap chase (40/1) at Ayr (31.8f, good), suited by increase in trip. Off 6 months. Stable in good form so considered. First run since gallant display when third to Kitty's Light in the Scottish Grand National.
6	6 \|U\| (6) (13/2 +7%) Walk Away	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(6) Walk Away 13/2, Creditable second of 7 in novice chase at Tipperary (23.8f, soft, 4/1). Off 6 months. Stable in good form. Should continue to give a good account. Only two runs since Munster National fall in 2020, second in 3m event at Tipperary in May.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (10/1 -25%) Salmanino	10 10/1(-25%)	(11) Salmanino 10/1, Latest win in chase at Punchestown in January. Below-par fourth of 7 in novice chase (15/8) at Fairyhouse (25.5f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Yard having good spell. Makes handicap chase debut. Can bounce back. Trainer also runs Flash De Touzaine, this is demanding for seasonal/handicap debut.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (16/1 -14%) Fairyhill Run	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Fairyhill Run 16/1, 12/1, very good second of 10 in handicap chase at Listowel (22f, soft) 43 days ago. Back up in trip. Can go well again. Ran her best race for a long time when second in a 2m6f handicap at Listowel in September.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (25/1 -25%) History Of Fashion	25 25/1(-25%)	(13) History Of Fashion 25/1, One win from 24 NH runs. Last of 6 in handicap chase at Gowran (20f, heavy, 25/1) 36 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third over 3m7f at Punchestown festival so the trip is well within his range.

LTO Selection:

HISTORY OF FASHION has won just once from 24 starts but is a dour stayer who has form in similar races. Runner-up in the Leinster National before filling third at April's Punchestown festival, he goes on testing ground and a recent reappearance over a mile shorter distance might help. Sir Bob finished second in that Punchestown race and while he likes heavy and is race-fit, is rising 12. Walk Away has raced against Minella Indo, Champ, Faugheen and Allaho in his time and while he hinted at having his old ability in May, might not be suited by heavy ground on reappearance. Royal Thief debuts for Gordon Elliott, stays well and likes testing conditions but lacks an outing while Flash De Touzaine finished fourth in the Scottish National in April and also reappears. Call The Tune is race-fit but was soundly beaten on his last two handicap chases and is 3lb 'wrong'. Glenquin Castle competes from a career high rating while heavy ground might not help Fairyhill Run.

A few with chances but CALL THE TUNE is knocking on the door and taken to gain a deserved success and edge out Fairyhill Run who also arrives at the top of her game and rates a major threat. Glenquin Castle is another who needs considering back in this sphere along with Royal Thief and Diol Ker who both make their debut for Gordon Elliott.

Last season's Scottish National third FLASH DE TOUZAINE won first time out last season and may repeat that feat.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (8/1 +20%) Boom The Groom	8 8/1(+20%)	(3) Boom The Groom 8/1, C&D winner. Won back to back here (turf) and Chelmsford in August. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f, 10/1) 15 days ago but capable of bouncing back. His three wins on this AW track were years ago (2015/2020) but a bold show is likely.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/3 -11%) So Sleepy	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(4) So Sleepy 10/3, C&D winner who twice went close back here this autumn before winning at Chelmsford (5f) last month. Respectable fourth back at Chelmsford since. Considered. Competitive sequence this autumn and she has has each-way claims.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/2 +18%) Lion Ring	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(7) Lion Ring 9/2, Finally came good at the 35th time of asking when edging ahead late on at Chelmsford (5f) 17 days ago. The third gave that form a boost when winning on Thursday. Should go well. 2nd on both runs here; Chelmsford (5f) latest start saw his first win at the 35th attempt.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 -100%) Just That Lord	10 10/1(-100%)	(2) Just That Lord 10/1, Took advantage of a lenient mark (on return from 11-month absence) when narrowly making a winning start for Robyn Brisland on turf here in July. Off since a lesser run at Goodwood in August but evidently capable when fresh. Won reappearance, disappointing next time; only one AW run (2022) in the last three years.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/2 +45%) Pablo Del Pueblo	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(1) Pablo Del Pueblo 11/2, Pair of polytrack wins at the start of 2023 (including C&D) but has been operating below his best lately, including on AW latest. Hard to know what to expect. Excuses on last two starts; edging down the weights and has nothing to prove at this track.
6th	6 6th (6) (10/3 +0%) Man On A Mission	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(6) Man On A Mission 10/3, Three-time C&D winner. 10/1 and cheekpieces on first time, fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (6f) 10 days ago. Return to 5f may help and he's back on a winning mark. Return to AW has not gone well lately; great mark judged on lots of form early this year.
7th	5 7th (5) (13/2 -8%) Cuban Grey	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(5) Cuban Grey 13/2, Back to winning ways at Brighton in September but last of 7 back there 26 days ago. Won debut for this yard in September; however, a respiratory noise was reported next time.

LTO Selection:

Just That Lord has to be of some interest after winning narrowly here in July in a better race, though he does need forgiving a sixth at Goodwood on his only start since. So Sleepy has a bit to find and a chance is taken on LION RING. Hector Crouch got plenty of improvement out of the gelding when he got off the mark over this trip at the 35th attempt, and an added 3lb may not stop him following up.

If LION RING can get across from the outside stall he might be able to go in again as a 3 lb rise for last month's Chelmsford success looks fair in light of the third winning there on Thursday. So Sleepy arrives in a good vein of form and is second choice ahead of Boom The Groom.

1	4 1st (4) (15/2 +46%) Chris Cool	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(4) Chris Cool 15/2, Made a successful debut over hurdles in 2021 and clearly learnt plenty from chasing debut to match that form when runner-up at Wetherby track (24.2f, good) in January. Jumping issues have surfaced since so reverts to hurdles. No forlorn hope. Returns to hurdling off a career-low mark; not solid but commands some respect.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 +0%) For Gina	5 5/1(+0%)	(7) For Gina 5/1, Reliable sort who got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft) 141 days ago. Up 4 lb but she's not taken lightly with the headgear retained after a break. Only 4lb higher than for a breakthrough win but good ground seems to suit her well.
3	5 3rd (5) (2/1 +0%) Top Cloud	2 2/1(+0%)	(5) Top Cloud 2/1, Much improved for new yard after wind surgery, winning at Stratford last week and following up at Hereford 19 days ago (both 2¾m). This longer trip could suit him even better. Big shout. 9lb higher than for his hard-fought Hereford win; softer ground is a grey area.
4	6 4th (6) (9/2 -64%) Flashy Boy	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(6) Flashy Boy 9/2, Point winner who has offered signs of encouragement over hurdles. Only sixth on his handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m2f) after 4 months off but he remains with potential now his stamina is drawn out much more. Well held so far over hurdles but this 3m point winner will approve of the longer trip.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/1 -8%) Hillfinch	7 7/1(-8%)	(1) Hillfinch 7/1, Last seen in good form, winning mares' handicap hurdle at Huntingdon in March. Uncharacteristic finishing effort when seventh at Southwell final start but now returns after 6 months off and can bounce back. C&D winner; was perhaps ready for a break when disappointing the final time.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/2 +36%) Legal Rights	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(2) Legal Rights 9/2, Unreliable typ who signed off with Gary Moore by being pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, good to soft) in April. Tongue strap on 1st time for his return/yard bow. Potentially well handicapped having moved yards and dangerous to discount.

LTO Selection:

TOP CLOUD completed a quick-fire double at Hereford in October and the Robbie Llewellyn-trained inmate is likely to take all the beating off only 5lb higher than his previous victory at Stratford. The six-year-old will need to prove his stamina upped to 3m1f, which may give some hope to the returning For Gina, who was last seen winning at Uttoxeter in June. Winning pointer Flashy Boy is a potential improver on the rise in distance and is another to note.

None of these can be ruled out but it's still hard to ignore the claims of hat-trick seeking TOP CLOUD who arrives on an upward curve and with the promise of better still to come now his stamina is drawn out more. Uttoxeter-scorer For Gina is next on the list ahead of Hillfinch and Flashy Boy.

Legal Rights can go well but FLASHY BOY is interesting now granted the longer trip that he's been craving.

1	7 1st (7) (16/1 +36%) Vischio	16 16/1(+36%)	(7) Vischio 16/1, Fairly useful mare. Latest win at Ballinrobe in July. Good second of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, heavy, 33/1) 14 days ago, clear of rest. Booking of Carroll a plus. Not sure to confirm recent Leopardstown placings with Chally Chute.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/2 -40%) Helvic Dream	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(3) Helvic Dream 7/2, Useful gelding. 4/6, didn't need to be at best when winning 11-runner minor event at this C&D (heavy) 5 days ago, driven out. Stable having good spell. Solid claims. Former Group 1 winner and did what was expected of him over C&D last week.
3	11 3rd (11) (8/1 +33%) Time To Tell	8 8/1(+33%)	(11) Time To Tell 8/1, Twice-raced maiden. Matched debut form when second of 14 in maiden at this C&D (heavy, 13/8) 5 days ago, clear of rest. Rates the type to do better still for all this looks a tough enough ask at this early stage. Beaten in two course maidens and has to find something from somewhere.
4	1 4th (1) (5/2 +64%) Chally Chute	2.5 5/2(+64%)	(1) Chally Chute 5/2, Useful gelding. C&D winner. Latest win at Killarney in July. Respectable fourth of 18 in handicap (13/2) at Leopardstown (12f, heavy) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Looks competitive on form. Likeable 5yo going the right way and latest Leopardstown effort can be upgraded.
5th	10 5th (10) (50/1 -52%) High Chieftess	50 50/1(-52%)	(10) High Chieftess 50/1, Fairly useful filly. Winner here in May. Well-beaten last of 10 to Thunder Roll in listed race (80/1) at Galway (12.2f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Lines up here with good bit to prove. It's all gone pear-shaped since winning a 1m2f maiden here on her comeback.
6th	4 6th (4) (25/1 +0%) Prairie Dancer	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Prairie Dancer 25/1, Fairly useful gelding. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 12/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Naas (16.1f, heavy) 21 days ago, well positioned. Down in trip. Yard having good spell. Winner under both codes; should give his running but ultimately come up short.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 +0%) Erato	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Erato 33/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 6/1, won 8-runner maiden at Galway (12.2f, good to soft) 54 days ago, showing a good attitude to prevail. However, more needed up in class. Galway maiden win no advertisement for her prospects in this company.
8th	5 8th (5) (9/1 -13%) Sunchart	9 9/1(-13%)	(5) Sunchart 9/1, Useful gelding. Twenty three runs since sole success in 2019. Good ¾-length second of 8 to Boogie Woogie in listed race (20/1) at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 14 days ago. Only 1-27 overall but has plenty of good form to his name, including latest Listed second.
9th	9 9th (9) (11/2 +45%) Feathertop	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(9) Feathertop 11/2, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 12-runner maiden at Gowran (9.4f, heavy, 7/4) 19 days ago, leading on bridle 2f out and soon clear. Up in trip. Open to further improvement and testing conditions will hold no fears. Lots to find on the figures but only her fourth run when impressing in a recent maiden.
10th	6 10th (6) (25/1 +17%) Queen Of Seduction	25 25/1(+17%)	(6) Queen Of Seduction 25/1, Fairly useful filly. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Gowran (11.8f, heavy, 16/1) 19 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Ran away with a 1m4f handicap last time but this is a different test altogether.
11th	2 11th (2) (5/1 -122%) Hans Andersen	5 5/1(-122%)	(2) Hans Andersen 5/1, Very useful Frankel colt who matched pick of his 2-y-o form when landing 2000 Guineas trial at Leopardstown in April. Similar form when eighth of 9 in French 2000 Guineas when last seen in May and he's of interesting upped markedly in trip back from 6 months off. Class act undoubtedly but back from an absence over a much longer distance.

LTO Selection:

HANS ANDERSEN remains unexposed and the son of Frankel was an impressive winner of the 2,000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown in the spring. It would be no surprise if he were to prove a cut above Listed level on his return from a break. Proven mud-lover Helvic Dream remains well up to this level and, buoyed by a recent C&D win, is likely to throw down a strong challenge, while Feathertop is one to consider from an each-way perspective.

HANS ANDERSEN has been absent since finishing down the field in the French 2000 Guineas but his profile is a largely positive one and, interestingly upped markedly in trip back from 6 months off, he could be worth siding with to come out on top. Helvic Dream and Sunchart head up the dangers, ahead of Chally Chute.

There have to be stamina doubts over Hans Andersen. Helvic Dream is solid but CHALLY CHUTE isn't to be underestimated.

2	10 2nd (10) (9/1 -20%) Wasdell Dundalk	9 9/1(-20%)	(10) Wasdell Dundalk 9/1, Has relished the step up to 3m over fences this season, completing a hat-trick at Perth in August/September. Good second here since and can make his presence felt again. Completed Perth hat-trick before fine 2nd here; thriving and could be bang there once more.
3	3 3rd (3) (12/1 -85%) Yes Indeed	12 12/1(-85%)	(3) Yes Indeed 12/1, Fairly useful winning chaser in France who went close at Newbury on second run following a wind op in March. Again found just one too strong at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) next time, not for the first time he failed to see the job through after trading at odds on in-running. 0-8 in Britain but runner-up in the spring on last two starts and could be thereabouts.
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 -20%) Mario De Pail	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Mario De Pail 12/1, Useful hurdler who produced a promising first effort over fences when runner-up at Ffos Las (20.1f) 2 years ago. Held back by jumping since, however, including on return/debut for this yard. Headgear on. His jumping can be an issue but he could build on last month's encouraging comeback run.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 -69%) Haute Estime	11 11/1(-69%)	(5) Haute Estime 11/1, Off the mark over fences when taking 5-runner novice at Warwick in March and backed it up with a solid third in a listed event at Perth. Going well (2 lengths ahead of Wasdell Dundalk) when falling heavily there 3 out on return and can make amends if none the worse. Going well in a share of the lead when falling 3 out at Perth; could have a part to play.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/2 +31%) Laskalin	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(1) Laskalin 9/2, Ex-French winner who returned after a wind op/10 months off with an emphatic success at Ludlow (25.6f, good to soft) last season. Solid placed efforts at Newbury/Sandown next 2 starts but struggled in top handicaps at Ascot/Cheltenham since. Back down in class now. Last season ended tamely but a break may have helped; major player if back to his best.
7th	11 7th (11) (22/1 -22%) Glittering Love	22 22/1(-22%)	(11) Glittering Love 22/1, Veteran who went close a couple of times last season but bit to prove after taking little interest on final start. Pulled up in April when last seen but in good form previously; C&D winner; not ruled out.
8th	6 8th (6) (9/2 +50%) Phantom Getaway	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(6) Phantom Getaway 9/2, Improved when off the mark in 3m Ffos Las handicap on his reappearance last season. Failed to match that form next 2 starts but should make a chaser (winning Irish pointer). Best hurdle run came on last season's comeback; this point winner could improve for fences.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (10/1 +38%) Flower Of Scotland	10 10/1(+38%)	(7) Flower Of Scotland 10/1, Scored at Kelso in December and good third in Edinburgh National at Musselburgh next time. Decent third back over hurdles at Kelso final start. Third in this on last year's reappearance and her stamina is an asset at this stiff track.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (11/1 +31%) Apple Rock	11 11/1(+31%)	(8) Apple Rock 11/1, Completed his hat-trick at Taunton (3m) in December but high enough in weights now and makes chasing debut just 2 months shy of 10th birthday. Six-time hurdle winner; 9yo makes belated chase debut but showed promise in points in 2018.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (14/1 -75%) Street Value	14 14/1(-75%)	(2) Street Value 14/1, Good third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (24.2f, heavy) on return 10 days ago but jumping remains a concern back in this sphere. Bang there when final-fence faller at Fairyhouse on last chase run; firmly in calculations.

LTO Selection:

Venetia Williams' representatives are always worth a second look here and LASKALIN could be up to defying top weight. The eight-year-old hasn't been sighted since a below-par effort at the Cheltenham Festival, but he's a confirmed mudlover who was produced to score readily on last year's reappearance. Yes Indeed remains well treated on his best French form and has to be considered along with Mario De Pail, who ran well for a long way at Chepstow on his comeback.

A jumping lapse possibly cost HAUTE ESTIME the win at Perth on her return and she can make amends off the same mark if none the worse. Laskalin is back down in class and won his comeback last season, so is next best ahead of last year's winner Houston Texas.

Last year's winner HOUSTON TEXAS (nap) is unbeaten in three previous visits to Carlisle and is the pick ahead of Phantom Getaway.

LTO Selection:

COMO PARK has recent form and is suited by conditions. Rated 90 on the flat last year, he is a four-year-old so progression is possible from his Punchestown placing. Gorgeous Suspect won an ordinary maiden in July and while he might better his 109 rating, lacks a run and might prefer better ground. Temptationinmilan is rated 122 over fences so has a favourable looking hurdles mark, under his 5lb claimer, but his best form is over three miles and might improve from this reappearance. Stablemate From The Ashes has a similar profile and is rated 13lb higher over fences but reappears under top weight. Fill The Tank returned to form recently and is 6lb higher than when winning at Roscommon while Chapel Street is 6lb higher than last month's course win. Great Island is 12lb higher than in winning by 16 lengths at Gowran and remains somewhat unexposed as a lightly-raced seven-year-old. Ena Baie has minor place claims.

GREAT ISLAND left previous form well behind when making a winning handicap debut at Gowran last time and, with the scope for another improved showing, he's marginally preferred to Gorgeous Suspect, who also remains with potential. Fill The Tank, another last-time-out winner, is also worthy of consideration.

In a race with all sorts of possibilities perhaps GREAT ISLAND will defy the 12lb extra incurred for a wide-margin Gowran win

15:55 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (5/2 +9%) Intoxicata	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(7) Intoxicata 5/2, C&D winner. Had bit in hand when winning 9-runner handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago, suited by drop in trip. Expected to be bang there from 3 lb higher. Won by about 2l at Wolverhampton recently and a 3lb rise could prove to be lenient.
2	3 2nd (3) (18/1 -13%) So Chic	18 18/1(-13%)	(3) So Chic 18/1, 25/1, ran even worse under a change of tactics when ninth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 17 days ago. Well handicapped but has struggled more recently and needs to get back on track.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/3 +58%) Doves Of Peace	3.333333 10/3(+58%)	(5) Doves Of Peace 10/3, Wasted no time getting back on track when fourth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 15/2) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. 0-9 but pretty consistent in Polytrack h'caps; perhaps the cheekpieces will eke out extra.
4	9 4th (9) (25/1 -25%) Essme	25 25/1(-25%)	(9) Essme 25/1, Seventeen runs since sole win in 2022. 9/2, followed a good run with a below-par one when eighth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) a couple of months ago. Had a wind op since. Placed three times on turf here in the summer but has a poor strike-rate.
5th	4 5th (4) (6/1 +20%) No News	6 6/1(+20%)	(4) No News 6/1, 6/1, below form back up in grade when fifth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 11 days ago. Threatening to come good soon so not discounted. 0-16 but went close at Kempton two starts ago and had excuses there last time.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/2 -50%) Ajrad	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(2) Ajrad 9/2, C&D winner. Ran respectably when sixth of 11 in handicap (7/1) at this course (8f, AW) 31 days ago, slowly away. Form has gone the wrong way but this C&D winner is on a reduced mark; not ruled out.
7th	8 7th (8) (14/1 +13%) Delagate The Lady	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) Delagate The Lady 14/1, Ran respectably having slipped back down to last winning mark when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 6/1) just over 5 weeks ago. Could well step up on that effort here. Fair 5th over 6f last time on first run since wind op; could build on it now back up to 7f.
8th	1 8th (1) (16/1 -220%) Porterinthejungle	16 16/1(-220%)	(1) Porterinthejungle 16/1, Returned to form and didn't go down without a fight when fourth of 15 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 7/1) 27 days ago. Not taken lightly having a rare all-weather start. Return to AW isn't guaranteed to suit but she's still respected after good turf run latest.
9th	10 9th (10) (12/1 +40%) Endless Season	12 12/1(+40%)	(10) Endless Season 12/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in October. Not in same form when eighth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 13 days ago. Must bounce back. Won at Chelmsford two starts ago and not written off now back on Polytrack.
10th	6 10th (6) (66/1 -100%) Ok Pal	66 66/1(-100%)	(6) Ok Pal 66/1, Made no impression when ninth of 17 in handicap (12/1) at Bath (5.7f, soft) 7 months ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Plenty to find on form. Kempton Polytrack win in February; returns from absence and 6f may be his best trip.

LTO Selection:

Porterinthejungle has won four times over this trip which makes him worthy of some consideration, but he is yet to win on the all-weather from 11 attempts and may have to settle for a place. INTOXICATA won over this trip at Wolverhampton last time out with ease and an added 3lb may not stop the U S Navy Flag filly from doing the same thing here. C&D winner Ajrad is noted too.

INTOXICATA seemed well suited by the return to 7f when scoring with a bit in hand at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and, nudged up just 3 lb, Ed Dunlop's filly is fancied to go in again. Porterinthejungle didn't go down without a fight when fourth at Windsor last month so she could well emerge as the main threat, with No News and Essme (who has had a wind op since last seen) another couple worth considering.

1	6 1st (6) (11/4 +39%) Jack Sprat	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(6) Jack Sprat 11/4, Showed some promise when placed in a pair of 2m maiden hurdles in the spring but failed to improve after 6 months off on his handicap debut when fifth of 7 at Stratford (2m2f) 27 days ago. Well worth another chance for his in-form yard. Second in a maiden; got warm before disappointing on his handicap debut.
2	7 2nd (7) (13/2 -18%) Star Legend	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(7) Star Legend 13/2, Fair on the Flat for William Haggas and has shown similar form in this sphere for his current yard, fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Possibilities. Flat-bred gelding who is unraced beyond 2m1f, so will need to stay.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/1 -25%) Blazing Court	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Blazing Court 5/1, Fair maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Not ruled out off a handy-looking mark back in trip. Standout run came on good ground and conditions have to be a concern.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 +33%) Ferrybridge	4 4/1(+33%)	(4) Ferrybridge 4/1, Didn't show much for Michael Hourigan in Ireland but shaped with greater promise when fourth at Sedgefield (17f) on yard debut. Better than the result when midfield at Exeter since so remains one to consider. Ex-Irish; beaten 13l and 19l in his two handicaps (at about 2m) for this yard.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 -180%) Nasee	14 14/1(-180%)	(5) Nasee 14/1, In good form until coming in only sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, good to soft) 55 days ago. Irish raider is worth monitoring in the betting after a break. Better than he showed at Stratford latest; ground borderline as he likes it good.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (7/2 +13%) Pileup	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(2) Pileup 7/2, Remains a maiden but he arrives in decent nick, fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) 119 days ago. In the mix after a break. No margin for error off this mark but has less to prove than a good few of these.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (11/1 +21%) Tip Top Tonto	11 11/1(+21%)	(1) Tip Top Tonto 11/1, Fair form at best but he arrives out of sorts, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, soft) 69 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Questions to answer right now and good ground would be preferred.

LTO Selection:

Ferrybridge has shaped better than the beaten distance suggests on his first two appearances for James Owen, although the son of Valirann will need to settle better if he is to see out an extended 2m3f in this contest. With that in mind, it may be worth taking a chance on BLAZING COURT, who didn't appear to stay the extended 3m at Southwell last month. Nasee also makes some appeal if recapturing his best form.

JACK SPRAT failed to build on last season's promise when only fifth at Stratford on his handicap bow but is well worth another chance off a lenient-looking mark here given that was his first run for six months and his yard are among the winners. Blazing Court is another weighted to have a big say and next best ahead of in-form maiden Pileup.

1	7 1st (7) (4/6 +33%) Queenstown	0.666667 4/6(+33%)	(7) Queenstown 4/6, Twice-raced colt. Blinkered for 1st time, second of 10 in maiden (18/1) at Leopardstown (12f, heavy), no match for winner. Off 6 months. Should continue to give a good account. Off since May but that second at Leopardstown sets the standard here.
2	6 2nd (6) (3/1 +14%) Neptunes Staircase	3 3/1(+14%)	(6) Neptunes Staircase 3/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Second of 15 in maiden (11/2) at Navan (14f, heavy) 18 days ago, slowly away. Best form yet when staying on from off the pace to take second over 1m6f at Navan.
3	10 3rd (10) (9/2 +44%) Johanna Whitty	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(10) Johanna Whitty 9/2, Promising sort. 22/1, third of 14 in maiden at this C&D (heavy) on debut 5 days ago. Open to improvement. Positively ridden on her belated debut over C&D but weakened into a remote third.
4	12 4th (12) (6/1 +0%) Taymura	6 6/1(+0%)	(12) Taymura 6/1, Once-raced filly. Fifth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (9f, heavy, 3/1) on debut 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Should progress. Fifth over 1m1f; her stout pedigree suggests this trip will suit.
5th	2 5th (2) (150/1 +0%) Spanish John	150 150/1(+0%)	(2) Spanish John 150/1, Once-raced gelding on Flat. Twelfth of 15 in maiden (125/1) at Navan (14f, heavy) on flat debut 18 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Hurdle win came out of the blue and in a poor handicap; tailed off on Flat debut latest.
6th	1 6th (1) (150/1 +25%) Cornmarket	150 150/1(+25%)	(1) Cornmarket 150/1, Thrice-raced gelding on Flat. Fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.6f, heavy, 50/1) 10 days ago. Up in trip. Poor on last Flat outing. Limited maiden under both codes and unlikely to be anywhere near good enough.
7th	3 7th (3) (125/1 +50%) Vodka Warlord	125 125/1(+50%)	(3) Vodka Warlord 125/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat. 200/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, soft) 34 days ago. Poor on last Flat run. Tailed off in two Flat maidens and no better since sent over hurdles.
8th	11 8th (11) (40/1 +39%) Struck By Churchil	40 40/1(+39%)	(11) Struck By Churchil 40/1, Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 14 in maiden (33/1) at this C&D (heavy) 5 days ago. 33-1 and finished a good way behind Johanna Whitty over C&D last week.

LTO Selection:

QUEENSTOWN sets a high standard judged on his runner-up effort behind the 101-rated Azazat at Leopardstown in May and a similar level of performance may suffice. How About No shaped with enough promise on his debut sixth at Navan last month to suggest that he could reverse form with Neptunes Staircase (second). The latter ran easily his best race to date on that occasion and Ger Lyons' inmate is likely to be in the mix too.

QUEENSTOWN was much better for debut when second in what has proved to be a useful maiden at Leopardstown in May and the son of Galileo sets a clear standard back from a break. Neptunes Staircase only just failed at Navan last time and is next best ahead of How About No, who offered something to work on in the same race.

A repeat of QUEENSTOWN's second at Leopardstown back in May would see him difficult to beat. Market confidence would be welcomed.

Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful French chaser (17f-3m winner) Delavant de Laulne. Fourth sole outing in Irish points (Feb 18).

LTO Selection:

The money arrived for Panhandle Slim at Bangor last month and he showed a fair amount of promise in finishing second. It would be no surprise to see him go one better but newcomer MISTER MEGGIT appeals from a profile perspective, not least because of Jonjo O'Neill's fine strike-rate with bumper runners at this track. Point-to-point scorers Askmore and Denemethy would also be interesting if attracting market support.

PANHANDLE SLIM made a highly promising start when runner-up at Bangor last month and he probably won't need to improve to open his account. Point-winner Denemethy is a big danger and Mister Meggit is one to note if he attracts support.

The suggestion is PANHANDLE SLIM, who was a long way clear of the third when second at Bangor 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.
