11:55 Hexham (Class 5) 24f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (22/1 +21%) Eveque	22 22/1(+21%)	(8) Eveque 22/1, Out of form and well beaten in a handicap chase at Ayr last time; returning from a long layoff and has a bit to find. Operating well below the form level of his January 2024 Sedgefield win when last seen..
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 -13%) King Of Cong	9 9/1(-13%)	(2) King Of Cong 9/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f here last time; wears cheekpieces for the first time; the trainer is in form but he has a bit to find. Bit of encouragement over hurdles here in August hasn't been built on; cheekpieces go on..
3	1 3rd (1) (11/1 +45%) I See The Sea	11 11/1(+45%)	(1) I See The Sea 11/1, Outpaced and in need of the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective over 3m but inconsistent. Overcame awkward jumping to run Gibberwell close over C&D in March; poor return outing..
4	7 4th (7) (8/1 +50%) Uptown Harry	8 8/1(+50%)	(7) Uptown Harry 8/1, Outpaced and continued in poor form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Perth last time; effective over 3m and acts with cut, though best at Carlisle; currently out of form. Well down the weights; it has to be taken on trust that recent return has brought him on..
5th	6 5th (6) (8/1 +6%) Shesupincourt	8 8/1(+6%)	(6) Shesupincourt 8/1, Disappointing on her chase return when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 3m1f at Hereford last time; effective from 2½m to 3m and acts on any ground but has yet to fire since returning from a break this autumn. Winless outside mares-only company; would need a lot of rain to become of interest..
6th	10 6th (10) (8/1 +33%) Iturgeon Du Breuil	8 8/1(+33%)	(10) Iturgeon Du Breuil 8/1, Found little when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Newcastle last time; effective over 3m, acts on good ground; remains an exposed maiden. Out of the weights this time but in the frame on five out of seven visits to Hexham..
7th	4 7th (4) (11/2 -22%) Dr Shirocco	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(4) Dr Shirocco 11/2, Had every chance but needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Kelso last time; should come on for that and looks the pick on race times. Likely better for recent hurdles outing; 2lb lower than for his two chases win here..
8th	11 8th (11) (5/1 +33%) You Say Its Over	5 5/1(+33%)	(11) You Say Its Over 5/1, From a yard that has won two of the last eight renewals; outpaced and needed the run when running to form to finish 11l third in a handicap chase here most recently; wears blinkers first time; effective over 3m and an exposed maiden. Usually makes the frame here but may need to find more in blinkers to upgrade to a win..
9th	9 9th (9) (6/1 -33%) Whispering Dancer	6 6/1(-33%)	(9) Whispering Dancer 6/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle over 2m5f at Kelso most recently; wears cheekpieces for the first time and looks the pick on overall form. Well held in three sub-3m novice hurdles but no surprise if he improves for fences..
5	5 \|F\| (5) (8/1 -23%) Gibberwell	8 8/1(-23%)	(5) Gibberwell 8/1, Below form but wanting a stiffer test when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; could be a contender. Good C&D record; lack of a recent run found him out in this last year and may again today..
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (11/1 -57%) Don Brocco	11 11/1(-57%)	(3) Don Brocco 11/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a mark of 86 over 4m here last time; a consistent performer. Good third over 4m here when last seen; would have appealed more with a recent run..

DR SHIROCCO produced some decent efforts over C&D during the summer months and the return to the larger obstacles, in what appears to be a winnable contest, gives him every chance of gaining a fifth career success. Don Brocco got the better of Gibberwell at Carlisle in February and the pair are likely to be competitive, while first-time blinkers might aid the cause of You Say Its Over.

If fences prove the making of WHISPERING DANCER, a mostly exposed bunch headed by Dr Shirocco looks there for the taking.

1	3 1st (3) (11/2 +21%) Ninna Collina	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(3) Ninna Collina 11/2, Ran to form when winning a maiden hurdle at Hereford by 2l last time; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground; steadily progressive and competitive, though more is needed to defy a penalty. Made winning seasonal reappearance at Hereford (2m, mares' maiden); penalised accordingly..
2	7 2nd (7) (5/4 +44%) Biglesisback	1.25 5/4(+44%)	(7) Biglesisback 5/4, Keen and had a bit too much to do back from a break when third by 2 1/4l in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Perth last time; effective at around 2 1/2m; should come on for that run with more to come. Outpaced 3rd of seven on hurdle debut at Perth (2m4f); trip query over 2m.
3	4 3rd (4) (15/2 +0%) Uokhun	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(4) Uokhun 15/2, Below form when beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Market Rasen last time; wants a stiffer test but has a small chance. Two 3m hurdle wins; fitness has to be taken on trust off a six-month break; trip query.
4	8 4th (8) (8/1 +50%) Gintime	8 8/1(+50%)	(8) Gintime 8/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 13l, in a mares bumper over 2m1f at Sedgefield last time; trainer in form and could be competitive. Shaped well on Carlisle bumper debut; modest the next twice; now switches to hurdles.
5th	10 5th (10) (40/1 -100%) Mad Mag	40 40/1(-100%)	(10) Mad Mag 40/1, Ran to form when third by 15l in a mares race over 3m at Durrow last time; absent for a very lengthy period and difficult to recommend. Debut Irish point winner in early 2024; clear fitness risks after 19-month absence..
6th	1 6th (1) (10/3 +26%) Belle Le Grand	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(1) Belle Le Grand 10/3, Ran to form under a double penalty when just caught late by a stablemate in receipt of plenty of weight, finishing second by a neck in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Newton Abbot; enjoys making the running; returning from a break; a speed and form selection. Carries a double penalty for short-odds maiden/novice hurdle wins at Warwick and Cartmel.
7th	9 7th (9) (100/1 +0%) Lady Phoebe	100 100/1(+0%)	(9) Lady Phoebe 100/1, Found little when finishing down the field in a handicap over 12f at Newcastle most recently; had been in good form prior but is hard to recommend. Flat winner over 1m5f in August but pulled up on hurdle debut in January (50-1).
8th	6 8th (6) (80/1 -627%) Bay Empress	80 80/1(-627%)	(6) Bay Empress 80/1, Far too free in front when stepping up in grade and finished down the field in a bumper at Ayr most recently; has a bit to find. Wetherby bumper winner for M. Hammond; struggled at Ayr in April; hurdles debut..
9th	14 9th (14) (80/1 -60%) Night Burlesque	80 80/1(-60%)	(14) Night Burlesque 80/1, Made mistakes and needed the run on chase debut when third by 22l in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time; effective at 2m on a sound surface. Modest hurdle debut at Warwick recently and likely to need more time.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (10/1 -100%) Camlin Park	10 10/1(-100%)	(2) Camlin Park 10/1, Quickened clear with ease to win a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick over 2m2f by 12l last time; returns from a short break; effective at 2m1f on a sound surface; has more to come over hurdles from this point winner and should stay further in time. Clearcut winner of a Downpatrick maiden (2m2f, good) in late August; carries a 7lb penalty.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (40/1 -60%) Miss Bumblebee	40 40/1(-60%)	(11) Miss Bumblebee 40/1, Bit free and hit the front too soon but improved when third by 19l in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f here last time; effective at 2 1/2m on good ground; showing improvement. Twice placed (well beaten) over 2m4f here; already has a modest mark; lots to find.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (66/1 -371%) Miss Friday Lions	66 66/1(-371%)	(12) Miss Friday Lions 66/1, Slowly away and outpaced when finishing down the field in a novice over 10f at Redcar on debut; had been in good form prior; wears a hood for the first time; needs to show much more. Some promise in three bumpers, the latest in March (50-1); hooded for hurdles debut.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (200/1 -400%) Arctic Duchess	200 200/1(-400%)	(5) Arctic Duchess 200/1, Below form and well beaten in a maiden bumper at Newcastle last time; returning from a long layoff and needs to find plenty more. Some promise in opening bumper; hurdles debut off nine-month absence; others more obvious..
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (300/1 -100%) Moira My Love	300 300/1(-100%)	(13) Moira My Love 300/1, Outpaced and below form when well beaten in a bumper at Ayr last time; hard to recommend on hurdle debut. Well held in a pair of Ayr bumpers (at massive prices); unlikely on hurdle debut..

BELLE LE GRAND was turned over by a stable companion when attempting to make it a hat-trick of victories over hurdles at Newton Abbot in June and Dan Skelton's mare returns from a break with a fine opportunity to strike. Biglesisback is open to improvement after finishing third on her hurdling bow at Perth in September, while Camlin Park and Ninna Collina are others with solid credentials.

This lacks a standout. The Downpatrick scorer CAMLIN PARK is a tentative selection to defy a penalty.

1	3 1st (3) (5/1 +29%) Lisbane Park	5 5/1(+29%)	(3) Lisbane Park 5/1, Runner-up beaten 6l in a maiden point-to-point over 3m at Lisronagh in March; sold for £110,000 soon after; worth a market check. Sold for £110,000 since finishing second in Irish point; check the betting.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/2 -43%) Pioneer Pete	2.5 5/2(-43%)	(5) Pioneer Pete 5/2, Raced quite freely when second in a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen latest; showed promise in bumpers before that; that latest form is reasonable and gives him leading chance. Consistent form comprises placed efforts in two bumpers and maiden hurdle; solid.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/13 +78%) Kel Du Large	0.615385 8/13(+78%)	(2) Kel Du Large 8/13, Three from three, winning two bumpers (latterly in a Listed race at Cheltenham) and then in decent style on hurdles start at Hereford; off for 21 months; good prospect; leading player. Won two bumpers and a junior hurdle in 2023-24; respected on belated return to action.
4	7 4th (7) (250/1 -67%) The Padster	250 250/1(-67%)	(7) The Padster 250/1, Best watched on the evidence of one Flat and two hurdles runs so far. Weak claims on form.
5th	4 5th (4) (22/1 -38%) Madajovy	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Madajovy 22/1, It's early days and he represents top yard but form to date in two runs in bumpers and two over hurdles leave him with something to prove. Looks the type to be more interesting in handicaps shortly.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (100/1 +0%) The Bluesmaster	100 100/1(+0%)	(6) The Bluesmaster 100/1, Down the field in a bumper and then tailed off on hurdles debut (when a 125-1 chance); best watched. Poor claims on form.

Kel Du Large went unbeaten in three starts during his juvenile campaign, which saw him land a Listed bumper at Cheltenham and score on his jumping bow at Hereford. However, it wouldn't be a surprise if he were to need the outing after a lengthy period on the sidelines, so the vote goes to HOLD THE SERVE. Olly Murphy's team continues in excellent form and the five-year-old defied greenness to make a winning debut in the pointing sphere last December. Pioneer Pete and Lisbane Park are others to consider.

Despite the long absence, useful KEL DU LARGE could well maintain his unbeaten record. Pioneer Pete is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (85/40 -6%) Kocktail Bleu	2.125 85/40(-6%)	(7) Kocktail Bleu 85/40, Yard won this last year. Below form when 9l third in a maiden bumper over 2m1f at Exeter last time but returns from a layoff looking a value contender on overall form. Placed in two bumpers last season and looks a good prospect for novice hurdles.
2	8 2nd (8) (33/1 +0%) Roi Du Risk	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Roi Du Risk 33/1, Suited by the ground and ran to form when beaten 10l in a bumper at Plumpton last time. Will need to find more to feature here. Narrow course bumper winner; has a future over jumps but others appeal more today.
3	11 3rd (11) (8/1 +20%) Broomfield Aderra	8 8/1(+20%)	(11) Broomfield Aderra 8/1, Travelled well and ran to form when suited by a positive ride down in trip, finishing second beaten 5 1/2l in a mares' bumper at Downpatrick last time. Holds an outside chance. Placed in both Irish bumpers in the spring; can make presence felt on stable/hurdle debut.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 +29%) Call Me Legend	10 10/1(+29%)	(1) Call Me Legend 10/1, Very promising debut when fourth, beaten 4l in a novice hurdle over 2m at Chepstow last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground; should improve for that experience and can win a maiden. Bumper winner; outran 28-1 odds when a respectable fourth on hurdle debut; e-w claims.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/5 -16%) Hardly Surprising	3.2 16/5(-16%)	(4) Hardly Surprising 16/5, Very promising debut when a head winner in a maiden over 3m at Ballycahane. Returns from a long layoff with a first-time tongue-tie and needs to improve. Half-brother to high-class jumper Fiddlerontheroof; won on Irish point debut; interesting.
6th	2 6th (2) (40/1 -60%) Crystello	40 40/1(-60%)	(2) Crystello 40/1, Improved when second, beaten 4l in a maiden over 3m at Tattersalls Farm last time. Needs to progress further to feature at this level. Bought for £30,000 after Irish point second in April; makes rules debut in good maiden.
7th	12 7th (12) (200/1 -33%) Driving Miss D'azy	200 200/1(-33%)	(12) Driving Miss D'azy 200/1, Found nil when well beaten in a novice hurdle over 2m at Worcester last time. Has plenty to prove at present. Came last on bumper debut in March and did not show a great deal in two hurdles last month.
8th	6 8th (6) (100/1 -150%) Known Warrior	100 100/1(-150%)	(6) Known Warrior 100/1, Improved from debut when fourth, beaten 11l in a maiden hurdle here last time. Acts on good ground and may do better over further than 2m. Ran well when fourth over C&D recently but this race looks much deeper.
9th	14 9th (14) (80/1 +20%) Ourbrowneyedgirl	80 80/1(+20%)	(14) Ourbrowneyedgirl 80/1, Outpaced on a modest hurdle debut when well held in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2m; looks one for the future. Made fairly encouraging hurdle debut in April but makes no significant appeal here.
3	3 \|U\| (3) (13/8 +7%) Doctors Hill	1.625 13/8(+7%)	(3) Doctors Hill 13/8, Ran well for a long way on hurdle debut before fitness told, finishing 13l third in a novice hurdle over 2m at Chepstow. Wears a hood for the first time and may have more to offer for his new yard. Promising stable/hurdle debut when third at Chepstow last month; leading contender.
10th	10 10th (10) (400/1 -167%) Villagers Cross	400 400/1(-167%)	(10) Villagers Cross 400/1, Outclassed and comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m5f at Galway last time. Yet to show much and may benefit from an easier assignment. Slipped up on last month's hurdling debut then was soundly beaten two days later.
11th	9 11th (9) (80/1 -186%) Victory Shout	80 80/1(-186%)	(9) Victory Shout 80/1, Outpaced and outclassed when well beaten in a handicap over 11f at Windsor last time. Wears a hood for the first time and returns from a break with something to find. Useful Flat racer; struggled in Grade 2 on only hurdle start; tricky to weigh up.
12th	5 12th (5) (28/1 -12%) Hard Stare	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Hard Stare 28/1, Ran to form when 9l third in a bumper here last time. With the trainer in form, he now needs to progress to make an impact over hurdles. Showed clear promise in bumpers but needs to improve to make winning hurdle debut.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (300/1 -100%) My Lovely Horse	300 300/1(-100%)	(13) My Lovely Horse 300/1, Modest bumper debut when comfortably held in a maiden bumper over 2m at Stratford last time. Difficult to fancy. Safely held in Stratford bumper on rules debut and faces a tough assignment here.

Having shaped as if he could improve for the run at Chepstow last month, DOCTORS HILL makes grand appeal on his second outing of the season. The five-year-old was far from disgraced in third and that experience could prove decisive. Broomfield Aderra posted two creditable efforts in Irish bumpers and must enter calculations on her timber/stable bow for Dan Skelton. Kocktail Bleu and Hardly Surprising are other interesting debutants in this discipline.

After a pretty good start to his hurdling career at Chepstow last month, DOCTORS HILL gets the nod.

1	7 1st (7) (5/1 +17%) Diamond Mix	5 5/1(+17%)	(7) Diamond Mix 5/1, Showed a good attitude and improved when dropped in trip, landing a handicap by a neck off 94 here last time. Likely has a bit more to come. Off the mark over fences on final start last term; quite interesting off 5lb higher.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/2 +30%) We Got Your Back	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(8) We Got Your Back 7/2, Ran to form when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 89 here last time. Effective from 2–2 1/2m and acts on soft and good ground; consistent and remains competitive. C&D winner off 3lb lower last time; has won on soft ground; major contender.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +23%) Dream Jet	5 5/1(+23%)	(4) Dream Jet 5/1, Outpaced and unusually below par, unable to go the gallop when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Sedgefield last time. Trainer in form; consistent performer. All four wins have been on good ground, latest over C&D in March; a possible.
4	10 4th (10) (9/2 +50%) Conquer The Breeze	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(10) Conquer The Breeze 9/2, Travelled well and ran to form when out-battled late, finishing second beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap chase at Perth last time. Returning from a break and looks the pick on race times. In fine form over fences, winning over C&D in June (also placed 5 times); each-way chance.
5th	9 5th (9) (40/1 -100%) Miss Fedora	40 40/1(-100%)	(9) Miss Fedora 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Fakenham last time; form in and out; has a bit to find. Both chase win over 2m1f at Plumpton, latest off 7lb higher in April; disappointing since.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 -64%) Raffles Wonder	9 9/1(-64%)	(2) Raffles Wonder 9/1, Travelled cosily and improved when handling the better ground, benefiting from a stiff track and strong pace to land a Go North One Man Series Final Handicap Chase by 5l off 101 at Carlisle last time. Probably more to come. Won latest two races last season (second after wind op); career-high mark but interesting.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (9/1 -38%) Forcing Bull	9 9/1(-38%)	(1) Forcing Bull 9/1, Perhaps not suited by the ground when 24l third in a handicap chase over 2m1f at Cartmel on his most recent run. Off a long absence and enjoys making the running. Ex-Donald McCain; won two hurdles and a novice h'cap chase; interesting on stable debut.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (11/2 +21%) O'faolains Glory	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(5) O'faolains Glory 11/2, Improved under an aggressive ride when dropped in trip, beaten 1 1/4l off 99 here last time. Effective over 2–2 1/2m and suited by a sound surface; back in form and remains competitive. In good form having finished runner-up on last 2 starts, latest over C&D; each-way chance.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (12/1 -71%) Jazz King	12 12/1(-71%)	(3) Jazz King 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Market Rasen last time. Returning from a break and needs to prove ability remains after the layoff. Ex-Alastair Ralph; bought for £5,000 in July; won h'cap hurdle on reappearance last season.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (28/1 -12%) Cornerstone Lad	28 28/1(-12%)	(6) Cornerstone Lad 28/1, Needed the run and failed to stay when well beaten in a handicap chase over 2m4f here last time. Regressive type. One-time classy hurdler; 1-24 over fences, his only win in June 2022; others stronger.

RAFFLES WONDER got the hang of things over fences with a brace of victories at Sedgefield and Carlisle. The eight-year-old was given a 7lb hike for the latest success, but that came after a wind operation and there may well be more to come. We Got Your Back and O'Faolains Glory were closely matched here last time and the pair command plenty of respect along with Conquer The Breeze.

Laura Morgan's WE GOT YOUR BACK (nap) is taken to confirm last month's C&D form with O'Faolain's Glory.

1	11 1st (11) (8/1 -23%) Apples Moon	8 8/1(-23%)	(11) Apples Moon 8/1, In good form at a lowly level when last seen out late last year; trip/ground are okay and very much a contender if able to resume in top form. Record of 1213 since handicapping; may still have further progress in her.
2	9 2nd (9) (9/2 +10%) Crystal Spring	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(9) Crystal Spring 9/2, Fulfilled previous promise when winning a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon (around 2m3f) last time; this 4yo is a possible improver so worth considering, even though this demands more. Made all in Huntingdon maiden most recently; may show further improvement.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 +23%) Sunset Marquesa	5 5/1(+23%)	(2) Sunset Marquesa 5/1, Dual winning novice last season; on a fair mark and can go well fresh, so well worth considering on first run since having had a wind op. Record of 2-5 as a novice hurdler last term; may have more to offer this season.
4	6 4th (6) (16/1 -60%) Bobbi With An I	16 16/1(-60%)	(6) Bobbi With An I 16/1, Point and maiden hurdle wins last season, latter success coming at 2m5f on heavy; pulled up latest in March (bled then); not fully exposed but needs to find more to win this. Still unexposed but this drop in distance is a possible negative.
5th	1 5th (1) (13/2 +35%) Kitty Foyle	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(1) Kitty Foyle 13/2, Ran to form back over hurdles at Stratford recently; trip/ground okay and has each-way chance. Posted another creditable effort returned to this code last time; in the mix.
6th	8 6th (8) (5/2 +64%) Hard Dealt	2.5 5/2(+64%)	(8) Hard Dealt 5/2, Lightly-raced former point winner who won on third start hurdling at Worcester in May; this opening mark is fair enough and probably has more to come, so a must for the shortlist. Could well build on Worcester win; interesting handicap debutante.
7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 +52%) Tour Ovalie	12 12/1(+52%)	(3) Tour Ovalie 12/1, Fairly useful winning novice last season; should be better for last month's reappearance but needs a career-best to quite win this. Returns to a more realistic level but seems weighted to the hilt.
8th	4 8th (4) (20/1 -43%) D Day Arvalenreeva	20 20/1(-43%)	(4) D Day Arvalenreeva 20/1, Needs to refind peak form though 2m5f might very well have been too far on latest two runs; feasible mark on debut for rookie trainer and worth considering. Needs a revival on debut for new stable.
9th	12 9th (12) (14/1 0%) Don't Tell Rosie	14 14/1(0%)	(12) Don't Tell Rosie 14/1, Maiden who was in the frame in last three of five starts hurdling last season; more is needed on this seasonal debut; others preferred. Ended last season with two encouraging efforts switched to handicap level.

Something to prove back down in distance on stable debut.

APPLES MOON enjoyed a productive campaign when scoring at Warwick and Sedgefield after moving into handicap company last autumn. Those victories were backed up by her hitting the frame on two other occasions and both of the stable's runners in the past fortnight have obliged, which augurs well for her return to action. Dramatic Encore has to enter calculations with a tongue-tie applied on handicap debut, while Crystal Spring and Hard Dealt are other potential improvers.

Several runners remain open to further progress. DRAMATIC ENCORE is first choice ahead of Don't Tell Rosie.

Jongleur D'etoiles enjoyed a fruitful hurdling campaign, topped off with a gritty victory over 3m2f here in May. However, this chase bow over an extended 2m3f may prove on the sharp side and it might be worth chancing stable debutant MALFOY MANOR. The six-year-old is a potential improver now under the tutelage of Dan Skelton and his point-to-point background could help him excel over the larger obstacles. Footloose Man enjoys it here and is feared most.

C&D winner VALIRANN GOLD is on a good mark and still had half a chance before coming to grief after the last fence here last month.

There were plenty of positives to be gleaned from KOOL RAOUL's timber/seasonal debut when second over 2m at Kelso last month. The five-year-old is open to more improvement and edges the vote. Stable companion Out Of The Woods appears likely to benefit from stepping up to 2m4f on his hurdling bow, while Southwell bumper winner Rosie Baloo is the pick of the remainder.

The 5yo OUT OF THE WOODS looked good in winning his first bumper and connections reckon they got the tactics wrong at Kelso.

Doyen Quest is the sole contender who brings chasing experience to the table, but he tasted defeat when sent off an odds-on favourite at Chepstow and faces a trio of interesting rivals. QUEBECOIS placed in a Grade 2 at Sandown and improved for the step up to 3m at Ayr, and he is expected to continue the fine record of Paul Nicholls in this contest. Western Knight probably felt the effects of a long campaign at Aintree and is respected, while Tiny Tetley is expected to step forward from his recent hurdles spin at Cheltenham.

There are profuse positives as regards QUEBECOIS who is first choice ahead of Western Knight.

Just A Memory was too bad to be true when finishing a well-beaten fourth on the chase track at this venue, although her previous form gives cause for optimism. However, FLINTARA ended her last campaign with a decent third at Plumpton and she makes slightly more appeal as a C&D winner. Malago Rose hasn't proved the most consistent since racing for Neil Mulholland, but she's capable on her day and market support on her return would be interesting.

She may not be as good as she was but FLINTARA, a C&D winner in 2023, might be the answer to this modest contest.

Having secured a third course victory here on his most recent outing, a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold display from Robert d'Ores. However, the reopposing third ZWICKY enjoys a 5lb swing with George Bowley's inmate and may exact his revenge on his second run of the season. Ballin Bay posted a solid third on his stable bow at Wetherby in March and is also worth a second look, along with Shoeshine Boy, who lurks on an attractive mark.

He's no good thing to confirm recent course placings with Zwicky but ROBERT D'ORES is always a solid option around here.

Bahadur built on a string of consistent efforts to shed the maiden tag at Kempton on his all-weather debut and is expected to be in the mix with his attentions now switched to handicap company. The vote, though, goes to WINTER FLOWER, who scored here in September before not disgracing herself in a novice event at Ascot. An opening mark of 79 is unlikely to stop her from progressing. Moon Sniper appreciated a step up in trip when scoring over C&D and is feared off a 3lb higher figure.

The vote goes to MIDNIGHT LION who may enjoy the run of the race and who has a good record in Class 4 handicaps on the AW (13311).

Attractively handicapped; interesting with a revival possible on reappearance.
6th	5 6th (5) (22/1 +56%) Here Comes Georgie	22 22/1(+56%)	(5) Here Comes Georgie 22/1, In good form over hurdles recently while he was two from four novice chasing last season; may have more to come chasing but this is tough from 9lb 'wrong'; stable debut. Stiff assignment from 9lb out of weights returned to chasing; new stable.

Having capped off his novice chase campaign with victory in the Grade 1 Maghull at the Aintree Festival, there could be more to come from KALIF DU BERLAIS. An official rating of 156 for Paul Nicholls' charge looks workable now reverting to handicap company and he gets the call ahead of Martator. Although Venetia Williams' eight-year-old's form tailed off at the back end of last season, he landed the spoils on his return at Ascot 12 months ago and is only 1lb higher than for his subsequent 11-length romp at the Berkshire track. The hat-trick seeking Saint Segal is the pick of the remainder.

Productive 5yo KALIF DU BERLAIS (nap) is taken to defy top weight. Last year's winner JPR One is feared most.

BRAVE KNIGHT bolted up under Freddie Keighley over the extended 2m1f at this venue 12 days ago and, given that he does not have to carry a penalty for that success, the five-year-old is very hard to oppose now 8lb well-in. Donnie Azoff is another recent winner to note and he could prove to be the main threat, ahead of the returning Grenadier Jed and Keep Running.

A wide-margin course winner 12 days ago, BRAVE KNIGHT is taken to double up off the same mark.

Rioja Alta continued his upward trajectory when landing the spoils at Cartmel in July, although a 5lb higher mark and rise in class does demand another career-best performance. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a punt on the returning EIRE STREET. Jackie Stephen's charge suffered an interrupted campaign last season but, with his yard among the winners, a return to 2m4f could prove fruitful. Hay Meadow and Romeo Brown are feasible alternatives.

The Ayr scorer MONSIEUR LE FUZZ could have more to offer even allowing for an absence of cheekpieces. Tineggiori is a threat.

WE'RE GOOSERS sets the standard based on his efforts so far, when beaten a neck at both Newmarket and Southwell, and Hugo Palmer's colt is likely to be a tough nut to crack. Fyreline disappointed when fancied to run well on debut at Kempton but is tried in blinkers, which should help to sharpen him up. Others to note include Tarmonbarry Kid and Kaindy.

This looks a good opportunity for WE'RE GOOSERS who sets a useful standard on the strength of his two narrow defeats last month.

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from DIRTY DEN's second-placed reappearance at Chepstow and he can build on that. With the winner subsequently scoring at Warwick, the five-year-old could prove nicely treated off just 3lb higher. Haas Boy made the perfect start for new trainer Chester Williams over fences at Newton Abbot and reverting to hurdles shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Him Malaya may appreciate this drop back in distance.

Not beaten far on his novice return and granted a realistic mark, NOT SO SOBERS may prove the answer, ahead of Him Malaya.

HE IS A CRACKER had plenty in hand when winning over C&D a couple of weeks ago and a 6lb rise may not be enough to stop the nine-year-old from following up. That said, Moonshine Girl is an interesting Irish raider who was third at Sligo when last seen and she should not be underestimated. The rest have questions to answer, but Hobb's Delight is the pick of them.

Irish-trained mare MOONSHINE GIRL (nap) made a pleasing start to her chasing career over 2m5f last month and is unexposed as a stayer.

The recent Carlisle winner Hello Judge has to be respected, but a 4lb rise demands more from him here. With that in mind, preference is for MALAITA, who showed much more when third at Market Rasen last month and she wouldn't have to find much more to be successful on this occasion. Rattling Road edges out Pinot Rouge to be best of the rest.

Having shaped well last time, MALAITA is taken to win this, with Hello Judge and Rattling Road also likely to go well.

Speedily bred but yet to show much; could be different now handicapping. Modest form in 3 quick turf runs; good pedigree; blinkered for nursery debut; unexposed.
2	5 2nd (5) (2/1 +43%) My Champion	2 2/1(+43%)	(5) My Champion 2/1, Trip too short but improved when beaten 4 1/2l in a maiden over 5f here last time; usually held up. Effective 5f to 6f, acts on all-weather; could do better now handicapping. Signs of ability in three qualifying runs; likely improver back at 6f now handicapping.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 -82%) Hey Havana	5 5/1(-82%)	(6) Hey Havana 5/1, Below novice level when switched to all-weather, beaten 1 1/4l off 60 here last time; effective at 5f; bounce back needed after C&D disappointment.

Effective over 5f to 6f and bred to stay 10f; a strong gelding who could improve in new cheekpieces. In front of My Champion (5f) last month but not sure to confirm placings; headgear added.

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

Hey Havana showed signs of greenness when fourth on his nursery bow over C&D and is likely to be sharper with that experience under his belt. Archangel Josepi is best judged on his third at Redcar, which would make him an interesting contender, but GOLDEN HAVANA is preferred. Michael Dods' gelding produced a decent effort when fourth here over 5f and the addition of cheekpieces gives him every chance of finding the required improvement.

Thehunnebelllegacy should go well but MY CHAMPION looks a potential big improver now handicapping back over 6f.

Second-season chaser who may have more to offer back down in distance.

Chester Williams has successfully teamed up with Harry Cobden to make a good start to his training career so Jupiter Allen, who was last seen at the Cheltenham Festival, must be respected. THEONEWEDREAMOF has a recent run under her belt, though, and that Chepstow second on first appearance for the Skeltons should have her spot-on. Village Master has been on the go since April, but it shows no sign of catching up with him and another wind operation helped inspire further progression at Kempton.

Chepstow runner-up THEONEWEDREAMOF is taken to go one better. Jupiter Allen is second choice.

Castle Quarter has to be noted on his return having won at Uttoxeter in May, but his lack of a recent run may just give the edge to TIGERS MOON. The five-year-old put in a career best when landing the odds on his second start in handicaps, also at Uttoxeter, a week ago. He is 2lb well-in, despite a 7lb penalty, and Tom Ellis' charge is hard to oppose. Diamond Days and Whatmakes Honey B complete the shortlist.

It's hard to oppose TIGERS MOON, who sauntered to an easy win at Uttoxeter last week and still looks well treated under a penalty.

Forthfactor won well on his debut at Hereford in February and makes plenty of appeal now switched to Dan Skelton. However, a 7lb penalty is a concern and preference is for PERFECTOT, who showed more when third at Musselburgh on her second start in March. With further improvement likely, Rebecca Menzies' filly just tops the shortlist. Any market support for Belvedere Bhoy or Jim Thorpe would have to be noted.

A chance is taken on the newcomer RONNIE RUSSET taking advantage of the weight he receives from Hereford winner Forthfactor.

ELECTRIC AVENUE arrives on the back of some creditable efforts in defeat over 1m here and this ease in distance may prove fruitful. The five-year-old has less to prove than most and edges the vote over fellow in-form rival After Love. George Boughey's filly shouldn't be inconvenienced by a return to 7f and another good account is forecast. Sahana is also worth a second look.

The step back up to 7f could see AFTER LOVE record a second win. Unexposed Kartini is feared most.

Signed off for previous yard on a low note and was sold on for 6,500gns.

JACK SPRAT's Bangor second was given a boost when his conqueror followed up earlier in the week. That recent match practice gives him an edge over the majority of his main rivals and he can go one better. Diamatiste, Loki's Mischief, Ebony Warrior and Island Run are all interesting on their returns, but the chief threat could come in the shape of Axel Bleue. Mickey Bowen's five-year-old has found only one too strong in both previous starts over hurdles and now goes handicapping.

This looks tricky. A chance is taken on LOKI'S MISCHIEF who is totally unexposed at this trip and the booking of Cobden bodes well.

Fairly treated if able to bounce back. Three AW wins last winter; struggled since March but latest Southwell run was a bit better.
2	11 2nd (11) (20/1 -43%) Orbital Chime	20 20/1(-43%)	(11) Orbital Chime 20/1, Ran to form when beaten 4l off 64 over 6f at Wolverhampton last time. Effective from 5f to 7f on the all-weather. Unreliable but on a competitive mark. Over three years since his last win & recent efforts don't suggest he is the answer today.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/8 +54%) Spirit Of Applause	1.375 11/8(+54%)	(3) Spirit Of Applause 11/8, Scored by a head off 66 at Southwell three starts back and got going too late last time. Best at 5f and acts on a sound surface. His current mark remains competitive. Good AW record; two defeats since Southwell win have come in stronger races; major player.
4	7 4th (7) (9/2 +31%) Herakles	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(7) Herakles 9/2, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 4l in a handicap here last time when up in grade. Ridden by a top course jockey and suited by 5f on the all-weather. In form and can go well again. C&D win in June; good in-frame efforts here on last two starts; should remain competitive.
5th	9 5th (9) (20/1 +50%) Mini Magna	20 20/1(+50%)	(9) Mini Magna 20/1, Well below form and failed to stay when stepped back up in trip, finishing down the field in a 6f handicap at Southwell last time. Has a wide draw and returns from a short break. Effective at 5f and 6f on the all-weather, with the drop in trip possibly helping off a reduced mark. Down in the weights but little this year to think he was ready to exploit his reduced mark.

Effective at 5f but unproven on the all-weather. Has been in and out of form lately. Two Beverley wins in July; in and out since and perhaps vulnerable returned to AW.

Effective at 5f and 6f and likely acts on any surface. His form has tailed off and he has a bit to prove turned out quickly. Not fired in four recent runs after a three-month break; due to be 2lb lower from Saturday.

That was more like it last time, but she's up in grade now. Appeared to handle AW well enough last time (6f) but she is a tricky mare to win with.
9th	6 9th (6) (50/1 -52%) Desert Champion	50 50/1(-52%)	(6) Desert Champion 50/1, Stopped quickly on his first run since a wind operation when down the field in a handicap here last time. Trainer in form and this is his second start after the wind op. Effective at 5f on the all-weather but still looks high in the weights. A wind op didn't help his finishing effort here 17 days ago; too much to prove for comfort.
10th	8 10th (8) (9/1 -80%) Invincible Crown	9 9/1(-80%)	(8) Invincible Crown 9/1, Ran to form and his effort deserves upgrading when second, beaten a neck off 63 last time. Has a wide draw but effective at 5f on the all-weather. Should again be competitive, up just 1lb. Two Wolverhampton wins this autumn (awarded race latest); should remain competitive.
11th	1 11th (1) (20/1 -82%) Mersea	20 20/1(-82%)	(1) Mersea 20/1, Well below form and failed to stay when stepped back up in trip, finishing well beaten in a 6f handicap at Ayr last time. Enjoys making the running and returns from a short break. Best at 5f and inconsistent of late, with the drop in trip a plus. 50-1 win here (6f) in February; also won on turf in August; capable back from short break.
12th	13 12th (13) (50/1 -127%) Tickets	50 50/1(-127%)	(13) Tickets 50/1, Too keen and failed to run his true race, well beaten in a 6f handicap here last time. Suited by 6f on the all-weather. Often keen, so the drop in trip may help. Good 2nd in his one 5f run; on a winning mark but his return to action was uninspiring.
13th	12 13th (12) (33/1 -408%) Basholo	33 33/1(-408%)	(12) Basholo 33/1, Ran to form when given a perfect trip, winning a handicap by 3/4l off 57 at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 5f on the all-weather. Erratic but needs more now raised 5lb. Recorded fifth Wolverhampton success last month (5f); 5lb rise looks harsh; up in class.
14th	4 14th (4) (18/1 -13%) Cast No Shadow	18 18/1(-13%)	(4) Cast No Shadow 18/1, Below form when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here in first-time blinkers, having gone too freely. Returns from a long layoff; effective at 5f on the all-weather and could fare better if held on to for longer. Two C&D wins last year; quiet when last seen and returns in a warm race.

Having been awarded a race in the Wolverhampton stewards' room, Invincible Crown merits respect in his follow-up bid. A 1lb nudge up the ratings shouldn't prevent another good showing, but the down-in-class SPIRIT OF APPLAUSE is a touch more appealing. Tim Easterby's inmate finished a respectable fourth at Southwell recently and he may prove strongest. Basholo might fare best of the remainder.

This looks competitive but it still represents a drop in class for SPIRIT OF APPLAUSE and he can register his third AW success.

Hood applied for the first time; effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather; inconsistent but hood now tried. Three C&D wins in January; encouraging run on Monday and the addition of a hood can help.

Effective at 5/6f and prefers a good pace to run at; needs to bounce back. Not at best on last two starts but she's a C&D winner whose Ayr win in September was solid.

Effective at 5/6f, acts on any surface; remains above last winning mark but back up in trip. Four wins in 2025 and he's run well on his last two starts; cheekpieces again absent.

Effective at 7f and best on all-weather; respected up 3lb. Strong at the finish over 7f last month; up 3lb & drops to 6f for first time on 39th start.

Trainer in form; effective at 5/6f, acts on all-weather; respected turned out quickly back up in trip. Game win at Southwell on Monday (5f); unpenalised and should be fine back at 6f; contender.
9th	10 9th (10) (8/1 +27%) Dream Deal	8 8/1(+27%)	(10) Dream Deal 8/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off 57 at Catterick three starts back but didn't find for pressure when up in grade last time. Effective at 6f, acts on all-weather; bit to prove off this mark on all-weather debut. Two Class 6 wins at Catterick in 2025; only 5th on last two starts; vulnerable on AW debut.

Chola Empire got up to lead in the dying strides over 7f at Chelmsford last month and cannot be dismissed lightly. However, 6f could prove on the sharp side for the son of Territories and unpenalised winner LOVAT SCOUT is more compelling. The three-year-old displayed a willing attitude when scoring at Southwell on Monday and a double may beckon. Bill Plumb is also of interest.

Bill Plumb comes here in fine form but DANDY MAGIC's Ayr win in September was a fine effort and she can return to that level today.

LUNIGIANA has proved very frustrating to follow, but may finally open her account. The Willie McCreery-trained filly has been placed on eight of her 11 starts, including at this venue, and last time was just headed on the line over this trip at Navan. Astute Power appreciated hold-up tactics when stepping up considerably on two previous runs to finish just over a length behind the selection in third and may prove the chief threat. Woolridge tries this distance for the first time and looks the pick of the remainder.

MASKED ANGEL was narrowly denied here over 6f last time. She has to improve a bit on figures but there should be plenty to come

FIRE EYES escapes a penalty due to winning an apprentice handicap at Redcar on Tuesday and the reliable seven-year-old is difficult to oppose in her current vein of form. Bowood is 2lb well-in following his C&D success at the end of last month and has to enter the reckoning, while Betty Bassett and Lightning Galaxy appeal most of the remainder.

ASTRONOMICALLY made a pleasing start over C&D last week and may have been found a good opportunity to open her account. The daughter of No Nay Never was never too far from the pace when fourth behind Anushka and gets the vote over Liberation Date, who showed promise on debut at the Curragh. Prevalence may progress from her initial outing at this venue, while newcomers Celtic Melody, by Too Darn Hot out of a winning Camelot mare, and Invincible Spirit filly Indomiknow are two to note in the market.

A winnable fillies' maiden can go the way of ASTRONOMICALLY, who showed plenty of promise on her C&D debut nine days ago

Yafaarr gained a first victory here on his most recent appearance, but a 6lb penalty may leave him vulnerable after being consistent prior. With that in mind, the less-exposed VIZZAVONA LADY, who got off the mark at Wolverhampton on the same day, appears capable of taking another step forward on just her sixth career start. Rooska and Ignac Lamar can fight it out for minor honours.

Better is expected of Northern Cracksman today but IGNAC LAMAR is ready to strike judged on his good second here three weeks ago.

6th	9 6th (9) (50/1 -150%) Desert Friend	50 50/1(-150%)	(9) Desert Friend 50/1, Again below form, possibly not staying when beaten 10l in a handicap here last time. Effective up to 13f on the all-weather; has lost his form of late and now drops in trip. Well beaten over C&D nine days ago on first start for this yard; plenty to prove.
7th	8 7th (8) (9/1 -64%) Cherry Pink	9 9/1(-64%)	(8) Cherry Pink 9/1, Ran to form, finding plenty when landing a handicap by a length off 54 over 11f here last time.

Effective from 12f to 14f on the all-weather; needs to bounce back with headgear now removed. C&D winner is now 5lb lower; getting rid of cheekpieces might aid her cause here.

A bit below form when the race came too soon last time; effective from 10f to 12f and goes back up in trip minus the tongue-tie. Took advantage of lenient mark at Navan last month; has gone well here before; chance.

SPY has been in good form over hurdles this year, winning a valuable Killarney handicap, and was also placed on the Flat at Thurles last month in a race that has thrown up a couple of subsequent winners. Sarmiento Power took advantage of a lowly mark when landing a gamble over C&D in September and was a creditable second to Cherry Pink over an extended 1m2f here last month. The Matt Smith-trained gelding may reverse that form over this distance. Benavente won over C&D this autumn and was claimed out of Kevin Coleman's yard after filling the runner-up spot here last month, with Satono Chevalier close up in third.

SPY ran a cracker from a career-high mark over hurdles at Down Royal last weekend and he can take advantage of a lenient Flat mark

Having scored with something in hand at Catterick recently, EVOCATIVE SPARK might be able to defy a 5lb penalty. A drop into class 6 company should help produce another bold showing from the six-year-old and a seventh career victory may be on the cards. Eden Storm returned from a 53-day absence to finish fourth at Wolverhampton and he may prove the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of Pit Boss.

As a former Godolphin horse who remains lightly raced, MILITARY LEADER could yet improve some more after running well last time.

NAOMI LAPAGLIA probably raced a bit keenly when finding the combination of 1m2f and Group 2 company too much at the Curragh. She previously won a Listed race at Gowran and arguably ran a career best on her last try over a mile when third to Porta Fortuna. Jancis has been given a three-month break after disappointing at Leopardstown, while Smiling showed much improved form when beating all bar Onemoredance in a mile Listed race at Naas, with Pink Oxalis and Fiery Lucy both behind. Aviatrice was racing off a mark of 78 when impressively beating Empress Artemis and Shavasi over 7f here, but has more on her plate now.

SHAVASI has work to do to reverse form with Aviatrice and Empress Artemis but she has more favourable terms at the weights here

13th	4 13th (4) (28/1 -211%) Grey Sands	28 28/1(-211%)	(4) Grey Sands 28/1, 20 Jan; 100,000gns Blue Point colt; half-brother to Turbo Command, useful at 7f; dam very useful at 14f; top trainer. 100,000gns yearling; worth a market check on debut but McMonagle prefers Lauda.

MINELLA ROCKETT stepped forward from his debut at Leopardstown when fourth at Tipperary. The form of that 13-runner maiden has been working out well since and the John Nallen-trained gelding should give a good account if handling this surface. Manton Bay came home well after a slow start on debut over 6f at the Curragh and is bred to appreciate this step up in distance, while Lauda made an encouraging introduction at the same venue and may have been unsuited by testing ground on both outings since. Grand Premiere, who cost $260,000 as a yearling, and the Henry de Bromhead-trained pair Koekkoek and Starflow are three newcomers to note in the market.

Wide-open but perhaps MINELLA ROCKETT can exploit his experience from a good draw

19:55 Dundalk 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (1/1 +47%) Tokenomics	1 1/1(+47%)	(1) Tokenomics 1/1, Ran to form when beaten a neck off a mark of 95 over 7f here last time. Effective from 7f to 9f and acts on all-weather; a progressive sort but faces a tougher task again. Outpaced late on here over 7f last month; 3lb higher but seems sure to be thereabouts.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/5 +40%) Diego El Queso	1.2 6/5(+40%)	(6) Diego El Queso 6/5, Yard won this last year; ran to form when too keen but saw it out strongly to win a maiden here by 3l last time. With a top course jockey, effective at 7-8f and acts on all-weather; a type with more to offer in handicaps. Last week's C&D maiden winner; high enough opening mark but potential for more; respected.
3	2 3rd (2) (25/1 -25%) Howyoulikethat	25 25/1(-25%)	(2) Howyoulikethat 25/1, Again below summer form when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 8f and acts on all-weather; has a bit to prove on recent evidence. Yet to hit form since June return; handicapper relenting but remains opposable.
4	3 4th (3) (18/1 -100%) Hightimeyouwon	18 18/1(-100%)	(3) Hightimeyouwon 18/1, Below form when beaten 7l in a 7f handicap here last time. Effective from 7f to 10f and acts on all-weather; the step back up in trip may suit. Possibly needed the run here last month after a break; good bit to find with Tokenomics.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 -87%) Perfect Judgement	14 14/1(-87%)	(5) Perfect Judgement 14/1, Below form when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Effective from 7f to 1m and acts on all-weather; looks on a competitive mark. Four-time winner here but plenty to find on last month's C&D run after a short break.
6th	4 6th (4) (66/1 -267%) Nezeeh	66 66/1(-267%)	(4) Nezeeh 66/1, Scored by 1/2l off 84 over 5f at Bellewstown on his penultimate start but below form without obvious excuse last time. Effective at 5f-6f and acts on a sound surface; stamina remains to be proven. Sprinting this year to good effect; rare foray over 1m here and vulnerable.
7th	7 7th (7) (40/1 -344%) Bundle Of Interest	40 40/1(-344%)	(7) Bundle Of Interest 40/1, Ran to form when beaten 3/4l off 71 over 7f at Gowran Park last time. Effective from 7f to 8f and acts on all-weather; continues in fair form though unproven on this surface. Remains unproven over 1m and 6lb out of handicap here.

DIEGO EL QUESO may be able to strike again after getting his head in front last week. The Blue Point gelding had been knocking on the door in maidens before making the breakthrough on his first visit to this track and has plenty of experience now trying handicap company. Tokenomics has been edged out on his last couple of outings and is entitled to run a big race again. David Marnane's charge did get 3lb for his runner-up effort here last time, but should still be competitive. Hightimeyouwon was behind Tokenomics when finishing last to Daamberdiplomat three weeks ago. He's capable of better and could get closer.

A disappointing turnout for the money and perhaps a good opportunity for top weight TOKENOMICS (nap) to go one better than last time

19:55 Dundalk 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

20:30 Dundalk 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (4/1 +20%) Johnny's Oasis	4 4/1(+20%)	(7) Johnny's Oasis 4/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off 45 here two starts ago but a bit below form off a new mark last time. Top course jockey booked. Effective from 8f to 10f and acts on good and all-weather. Needs to bounce back. C&D winner last month but plenty to find on last week's run; draw a negative too.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +45%) Ballymagreehan	3 3/1(+45%)	(5) Ballymagreehan 3/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off 58 here last time, overcoming a bad start. Effective at 8f and acts on all-weather. Off a short break and almost certainly has more to offer. C&D winner in July, had excuses following month; back from a break and respected.
3	13 3rd (13) (14/1 +13%) Sporting Aclaim	14 14/1(+13%)	(13) Sporting Aclaim 14/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off 43 here last time, back on all-weather. Effective from 8f to 12f and acts on soft, good, and all-weather surfaces. Has done better of late in blinkers. Wasn't beaten far over C&D last week; four of today's rivals ahead mind.
4	10 4th (10) (14/1 -27%) Endless Dawn	14 14/1(-27%)	(10) Endless Dawn 14/1, Ran to her recent moderate level when beaten 3l off 45 here last time. Effective from 7f to 8f and suited by all-weather. A maiden who needs more to make the breakthrough. Never landed a blow last week when behind several of these so has it to do.
5th	8 5th (8) (18/1 -13%) Camachero	18 18/1(-13%)	(8) Camachero 18/1, Again below form when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time, racing too keenly. Effective from 7f to 8f and acts on good and all-weather surfaces. Inconsistent maiden. Maiden largely out of form of late, lots to find on last week's C&D effort.
6th	4 6th (4) (8/1 +33%) Colugo	8 8/1(+33%)	(4) Colugo 8/1, Ran close to form when beaten 2l off 55 here last time, well positioned in a new headgear combination. Effective from 7f to 8f and acts on all-weather. In fair form with the hood now removed. Wandered for pressure over C&D last month behind two of today's rivals; hood ditched now.
7th	9 7th (9) (25/1 -56%) Kitty Bear	25 25/1(-56%)	(9) Kitty Bear 25/1, Too keen and below form when tried in cheekpieces, beaten 5l in a handicap here last time. Usually held up. Effective from 7f to 9f and acts on heavy and good ground. Handicapper has relented but she's unproven on all-weather. Down the field here last week in first-time cheekpieces; lots to find.
8th	1 8th (1) (9/2 +0%) Alex Belardo	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(1) Alex Belardo 9/2, Ran to form when beaten 1/2l off 57 here last time, having been well positioned. Effective from 7f to 8f and acts on soft, good, and all-weather surfaces. Needs more again up 2lb but respected, especially with the yard winning this last year. Denied second late on over C&D last week; 2lb higher so more needed.
9th	2 9th (2) (11/1 -214%) Bowman	11 11/1(-214%)	(2) Bowman 11/1, Bit too free when back up in trip but not disgraced, beaten 4l in a 7f handicap here last time. Trainer in form. Effective from 6f to 7f on a sound surface and suited by all-weather. Well treated on old UK form and should go well. Disappointing favourite here last month in this grade; hard to be confident in.
10th	12 10th (12) (28/1 +15%) Shining Aitch	28 28/1(+15%)	(12) Shining Aitch 28/1, Ran to form when beaten 6 1/4l in a claimer here last time, though possibly a bit flattered. Effective from 8f to 10f and best on all-weather. Has something to prove back in handicap company. Winner here off much higher marks but rating has taken a nosedive for a reason.
11th	11 11th (11) (25/1 +24%) Loaded Quiver	25 25/1(+24%)	(11) Loaded Quiver 25/1, No impact despite the race setting up for him, beaten 9l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 7f but yet to prove stamina beyond that. Acts on a sound surface. Has lost form since moving to Ireland. Yard won this last year. Nothing yet for current yard but is down 13lb in all.
12th	6 12th (6) (28/1 -12%) Pinball Wizard	28 28/1(-12%)	(6) Pinball Wizard 28/1, Bit better when ridden with more restraint, beaten 9l in a handicap here last time. Effective from 7f to 10f and acts on good and all-weather surfaces. Inconsistent but dropping in the weights. Yard also won this last year. Yet to score for current yard; steadily dropping in handicap but others preferred.
13th	3 13th (3) (11/1 -47%) Smaoineamh Sile	11 11/1(-47%)	(3) Smaoineamh Sile 11/1, Produced her best effort since June when beaten a neck off 53 here last time, having the run of the race. Likes to make the running. Effective from 8f to 10f and acts on good to firm, soft, and all-weather. More like it latest off reduced mark. Back to form when just denied over C&D last week; 3lb higher and wide draw to overcome now.
14th	14 14th (14) (50/1 -127%) Romantic War	50 50/1(-127%)	(14) Romantic War 50/1, Produced his best handicap effort this year when third, beaten 9 1/4l in a 7f Galway handicap last time. Effective from 6f to 7f and suited by cut in the ground. Exposed as poor. One of better efforts at Galway last time; previous AW form not encouraging though.

SMAOINEAMH SILE ran a big race here last week and may be able to go one better, despite a 3lb rise. She stuck at her task well when edged out by a neck by the well-supported Moyassr and looks capable of striking off her current mark after sliding a nice bit during the year. Alex Belardo was only a short head behind the selection and is 1lb better off. He obviously has to be a leading contender again. Ballymagreehan has been dropped a couple of pounds since finishing third here in August and looks like another big player.

It could pay to take a chance on the fitness of the reappearing BALLYMAGREEHAN, progressive over C&D over the summer

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.
