12:40 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 22f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (13/8 +54%) Skyjack Hijack	1.625 13/8(+54%)	(1) Skyjack Hijack 13/8, Very progressive hurdler, completing 4-timer in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Newcastle (23.7f, good) 8 days ago, unchallenged. Has to concede weight all round but warrants plenty of respect nonetheless. Massive improver in winning four handicaps; penalised accordingly but he's dangerous.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/4 +13%) Captain Bellamy	1.75 7/4(+13%)	(3) Captain Bellamy 7/4, Very easy winner of sole start in Irish points and it was a similar story on his Rules debut in a Chepstow bumper. Disappointing both starts since but should still make his mark over hurdles. Point/bumper winner; has reportedly needed time; well regarded; this isn't strong.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/1 -11%) Check The Score	10 10/1(-11%)	(4) Check The Score 10/1, Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points and made a winning start in bumpers in 17-runner event at Warwick (2m) in April 2023. In need of the experience sent hurdling at Market Rasen 9 months later and is capable of better. Point/bumper winner but well beaten on hurdling debut; looks up against it.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (7/2 -56%) Jack Black	3.5 7/2(-56%)	(5) Jack Black 7/2, Shaped with promise when third both starts in bumpers and again offered plenty of encouragement when filling same spot on Newbury hurdle debut (16.3f) in February. Upped in trip and can improve. Clear promise in his first three races and going up in trip looks a major plus.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (25/1 -25%) Super Saint	25 25/1(-25%)	(6) Super Saint 25/1, Cost a bit and produced a promising first effort amid inexperience when fourth in a Taunton bumper in March, not knocked about. Failed to progress at Warwick next time but this longer trip likely to suit now hurdling. Bumper form nothing to shout about but he should improve for going further over hurdles.

Skyjack Hijack readily brought up a four-timer when making all over an extended 2m7f at Newcastle last week and he warrants the utmost respect. That said, he may struggle to give weight and a beating to JACK BLACK. Dan Skelton's charge was far from disgraced when finishing a staying-on third in a tactically-run affair on his hurdling debut over an extended 2m at Newbury last season and he gets the nod to make a winning return for his in-form stable. Captain Bellamy is also noteworthy.

CAPTAIN BELLAMY went backwards from an impressive debut success in bumpers, but he retains potential now switching to hurdling and first time up could be the time to catch him. Skyjack Hijack has to concede plenty of weights but he's thriving at present and warrants plenty of respect. Jack Black can build on an encouraging hurdling debut at Newbury 9 months earlier and merits consideration, also.

Captain Bellamy and Skyjack Hijack are the ones he has to beat but JACK BLACK shaped nicely last season behind smart horses.

12:50 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (13/8 +19%) Electric Mason	1.625 13/8(+19%)	(6) Electric Mason 13/8, Point recruit who opened his account in bumpers at Kempton and acquitted himself well in defeat in that sphere later in the campaign. Stuck to his task nicely when runner-up on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter and slight step up in trip can only aid his cause. Better off with Laurens Bay on bumper running here in March and warrants respect.
2	12 2nd (12) (1/1 +47%) Laurens Bay	1 1/1(+47%)	(12) Laurens Bay 1/1, Runner-up sole start in Points and made a winning start under Rules when taking 6-runner course bumper (13.7f, heavy) in March. Held back slightly by inexperience when second on last month's hurdles debut and he's sure to step up on that. Worse off with Electric Mason on course bumper form but is still one of the main players.
3	8 3rd (8) (25/1 -79%) Gooloogong	25 25/1(-79%)	(8) Gooloogong 25/1, Useful on Flat (stays 1¾m), won maiden in 2023 prior to finding group company too much final 2 starts for Aidan O'Brien. Well held on hurdles debut and regressive on the level for this yard but cannot be dismissed out of hand at this level. Cheekpieces on. Has something to prove back in this sphere (second attempt).
4	4 4th (4) (28/1 -40%) Confinentic	28 28/1(-40%)	(4) Confinentic 28/1, Clovis Du Berlais gelding. Dam, ran once on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser who became unreliable (stayed 25f) Problema Tic. Too inexperienced to show much in a Worcester bumper this summer. Showed some promise in Worcester bumper in June; may do better.
5th	1 5th (1) (15/2 -25%) Ami Bondhu	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(1) Ami Bondhu 15/2, Left debut form well behind when landing a Fakenham bumper with something to spare in November 2023. Not in quite the same form at Warwick 2 months later and sent off favourite on hurdles debut at Plumpton, he shaped as though in need of the run. Capable of better. Bumper winner; disappointing favourite at Plumpton on the switch to hurdles.
6th	5 6th (5) (22/1 -57%) Desert Halo	22 22/1(-57%)	(5) Desert Halo 22/1, Gaps between all 3 bumper starts, showing minor promise. Hurdles debut at a realistic level. Hurdles debutant; has frame possibilities on form but needs improvement to win.
7th	7 7th (7) (150/1 -355%) Falstaff	150 150/1(-355%)	(7) Falstaff 150/1, Order of St George gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Yorkhill. Lot to like on paper but showed precious little in a bumper during the spring. Beaten long way in Kempton bumper, having been easy to back.
8th	2 8th (2) (200/1 +0%) Atlantic Power	200 200/1(+0%)	(2) Atlantic Power 200/1, €26,000 3-y-o, £25,000 4-y-o. Second foal, dam fair but temperamental 2m chase winner. Placed on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Apr 27). Achieved little in Chepstow bumper last week on rules debut.
9th	9 9th (9) (14/1 -87%) Grenadier Jed	14 14/1(-87%)	(9) Grenadier Jed 14/1, Half-brother to bumper winner Montenay and showed a lot more than on debut when third in that sphere here in January. Off since but isn't one to take lightly on hurdles bow. Showed some ability in two bumpers last winter, placed at this course latest.
10th	11 10th (11) (125/1 -89%) Klic Boum	125 125/1(-89%)	(11) Klic Boum 125/1, Bred to need time and distance and shaped in kind in a bumper/brace of novice hurdles. Comfortably held in both hurdles starts and needs to improve.
11th	13 11th (13) (66/1 -32%) Tarbaan	66 66/1(-32%)	(13) Tarbaan 66/1, Disappointing on the level in 2024 but showed something to work on when fifth of 8 in novice hurdle over C&D last month. In nothing like the same form at Fakenham and cheekpieces now on. Better than bare result over C&D on hurdles debut; well beaten since.
12th	10 12th (10) (200/1 +20%) Killard Point	200 200/1(+20%)	(10) Killard Point 200/1, Off mark in points at sixth attempt in May but shaped with no promise both outings under Rules. Has achieved very little in two attempts over hurdles.
13th	14 13th (14) (250/1 0%) Don't Cheddar Tear	250 250/1(0%)	(14) Don't Cheddar Tear 250/1, No impact in bumper/novice hurdles last season. No form claims.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (66/1 +34%) Capstan	66 66/1(+34%)	(3) Capstan 66/1, Triple winner on the AW this year and fit from the Flat but has pulled up both previous hurdles outings. Triple AW winner on Flat; pulled up in both hurdles attempts.

LAURENS BAY was beaten six lengths into second when making his hurdling debut at Stratford last month and he would have learned a great deal from that experience. With normal progression, he could prove hard to beat. Electric Mason took the silver medal home at Uttoxeter on his most recent outing and should go well on only his second start in this sphere, while Falstaff is worth a market check with Sam Twiston-Davies booked.

Bumper-winners ELECTRIC MASON and Laurens Bay showed enough on their respective debut in this sphere to think they will be winning races sooner rather than later, with marginal preference for the Chris Gordon inmate. Ami Bondhu is also open to progress so needs considering.

The big feature of this race is the rematch between ELECTRIC MASON and Laurens Bay. The former is narrowly preferred.

12:50 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:02 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (10/3 +39%) Return Fire	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(3) Return Fire 10/3, Ended last season out of sorts but wasn't beaten at all far back hurdling on his recent reappearance and he's of interest back here (winner of both completed starts over fences at this course) off a reduced mark. 2-2 in completed starts at Hexham, including a success in this race two years ago.
2	1 2nd (1) (15/8 -50%) Kelce	1.875 15/8(-50%)	(1) Kelce 15/8, Lightly-raced maiden in Ireland and, having understandably looked in need of the run on return/debut for new yard at Fontwell last month, he subsequently went close on recent chase debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Uttoxeter (2½m, good to soft). Big player. Improved effort at Uttoxeter last week on chase debut; 3lb higher in future; respected.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 +0%) Gibberwell	12 12/1(+0%)	(8) Gibberwell 12/1, Only fifth over this C&D on final start of last season but record here is otherwise strong (form figures at Hexham read 122245). On the downside, his record when fresh doesn't augur well ahead of this first run for 6 months. C&D winner in 2023; close second off 4lb higher in this race 12 months ago.
4	5 4th (5) (14/1 +58%) Empty Nest	14 14/1(+58%)	(5) Empty Nest 14/1, Still a maiden and opposable on the back of tame efforts here and at Market Rasen on his last 2 appearances. Maiden; pulled up twice early this season and absent since.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/2 +27%) Ange Endormi	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(7) Ange Endormi 11/2, Winner of just one of his 14 starts over hurdles but pretty consistent on the whole in that sphere and latest third of 12 over 23.3f in first-time cheekpieces (retained) here last month was a solid effort. 1 lb lower now switched to fences and wouldn't be without hope if his jumping passes the test. Ran respectably here on latest hurdles start; possibilities if taking well to fences.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/1 -11%) Lights Are Green	10 10/1(-11%)	(2) Lights Are Green 10/1, Resumed winning ways in a handicap chase at Cartmel during the summer but it's been a low-key 2024 otherwise for this 7-y-o. Others preferred. Three-time chase winner off lower marks; form dipped the last twice.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (7/1 +22%) Ocean Legacy	7 7/1(+22%)	(6) Ocean Legacy 7/1, Winless since last May 2023 but performed with credit on a couple of occasions for Dermot McLoughlin earlier this year and wasn't disgraced on debut for this yard at Sedgefield (26.3f, good to soft) 19 days ago. 2 lb lower here and each-way chance if able to build on that. Ex-Irish; modest third at Sedgefield on debut for new yard; needs to improve.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (20/1 -300%) Gipsy Lee Rose	20 20/1(-300%)	(4) Gipsy Lee Rose 20/1, Hit the target twice last season, taking a small-field 2½m Newcastle handicap (heavy) on latest outing in March. 3 lb rise by no means prohibitive and moving back up in trip won't be an issue, so she could have a say if fully tuned-up for this. Absent since Newcastle win in March; placed in this contest for the last two years.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (100/1 -52%) Bannside	100 100/1(-52%)	(9) Bannside 100/1, Pulled up on first run following 19 months off at Kelso recently and he's hard to fancy. Form is largely poor; yet to finish in the first five.

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

Only worn down late in the piece when second on his chase debut over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last week, KELCE is expected to build on that excellent effort. The six-year-old is preferred to proven stayer Gipsy Lee Rose, who scored over further at Kelso last November and was a winner at Newcastle latest, though seems to have a preference for softer ground. A respectable fourth on his return at Kelso last month, Return Fire cannot be ruled out either.

KELCE produced a near-fautless round of jumping when narrowly outpointed on his recent chase debut at Uttoxeter, and he will prove hard to beat off the same mark here (due to go up 3 lb for that effort) with improvement likely now moving up in trip. C&D winners Return Fire and Gipsy Lee Rose are taken to fill the places, in that order of preference, while chase-debutant Ange Endormi and Ocean Legacy are also worthy of consideration.

Unexposed chaser KELCE (nap) is 3lb ahead of the assessor and may prove difficult to beat. Return Fire is second choice.

13:02 Hexham Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:15 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 2) 17f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (4/1 0%) Yhprum's Law	4 4/1(0%)	(3) Yhprum's Law 4/1, Kayf Tara gelding who disappointed on his sole outing in bumpers but was in the process of showing more when falling 2 out on his Carlisle hurdling debut 22 days ago, might have been placed. Staying on when tipping up at Carlisle; highly likely that he has better days ahead of him.
1	1 1st (1) (1/4 +59%) Sorceleur	0.25 1/4(+59%)	(1) Sorceleur 1/4, Built on previous promise when making all in a Taunton bumper in February. Put up a useful effort when fifth of 18 in Grade 2 event at Aintree in April and seems sure to improve on his opening hurdles effort when second at this venue in a first-time tongue strap 17 days ago. Outstanding claims. Good bumper horse and fully entitled to come on loads for his recent defeat here.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +0%) Wellington Arch	3 3/1(+0%)	(2) Wellington Arch 3/1, Followed narrow Worcester bumper debut success with a couple of decent efforts in defeat. Struggled in Grade 2 company at Aintree when last seen during the spring but starts out over hurdles at a realistic level. Bumper winner but plenty to find with Sorceleur on their Aintree clash in April.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (66/1 -32%) Kingston Joy	66 66/1(-32%)	(4) Kingston Joy 66/1, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m), respectable effort last time. Left David Simcock's yard for only 6,000 gns in May. Plied her trade at a lowly level on the Flat and shouldn't be good enough.

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

SORCELEUR showed up well for a long way before fading into second over an extended 2m2f here last month and, stepping back in trip with match-fitness under his belt, he should be tough to stop in his bid to go one place better. Yhprum's Law was in the process of making a solid debut over timber when coming down two from home at Carlisle and he looks the main danger. Kingston Joy will need to improve significantly for obstacles if she is to feature.

SORCELEUR, a progressive bumper performer, seems sure to improve on his opening hurdles effort when second here 17 days ago, so he's a straightforward choice. Wellington Arch is preferred to Yhpum's Law for forecast purposes.

This is an excellent opportunity for smart bumper horse SORCELEUR to make amends for his recent odds-on defeat here.

13:25 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (11/4 +45%) West Orchard	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(6) West Orchard 11/4, Hails from a yard enjoying a fine autumn and bounced back to his best after 6 months when taking 7-runner handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f) 18 days ago. Questionable he'll be in the same form here though, given his overall record. No certainty to follow up Plumpton win; has never won away from there.
2	7 2nd (7) (12/1 -33%) Jack Doyen	12 12/1(-33%)	(7) Jack Doyen 12/1, Knuckled down well when gaining a second career success at Hereford (20.9f) in March. Respectable efforts final 2 starts but ran a somewhat typical race when third behind West Orchard on return at Plumpton 18 days ago, not convincing with jumping/finishing effort. Others preferred. Dual chase winner who is competitively treated on peak form.
3	5 3rd (5) (14/1 +0%) Leading Swoop	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Leading Swoop 14/1, Fair maiden hurdler who made a bright start over fences when second over 21.6f here in January. However, failed by a long way to replicate that in 3 starts thereafter during the spring. Drop back in trip needs to have positive effect back from 6 months off. Still a maiden but the return to Fontwell is a plus (best efforts here).
4	1 4th (1) (13/2 -86%) Call Off The Dogs	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(1) Call Off The Dogs 13/2, Made a fine start to the campaign, making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts when (all here) over C&D in September. Handicapper applies a little more pressure but he has to command respect again. Has form figures of 1121, all at Fontwell, this season; solid contender.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 +17%) Shuil Ceoil	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Shuil Ceoil 10/1, Fair winner at 22f over hurdles who was in good form earlier this year but made an inauspicious start in this sphere when pulled up at Worcester (23f) last month. Has a background in points and too soon to be writing him off. This should reveal more. Form dipped sharply switched to chasing last time, having made mistakes.
6th	3 6th (3) (15/8 +6%) Samazul	1.875 15/8(+6%)	(3) Samazul 15/8, Bumper winner who failed to score over hurdles but has the build for chasing and he duly improved when opening his account on return/debut over fences here (17.8f) 16 days ago. Impressed with how he travelled then and highly respected up 5 lb. Took well to fences here last month and is open to further progress; respected.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (9/1 +55%) I Love You Sivola	9 9/1(+55%)	(8) I Love You Sivola 9/1, French recruit who has essentially struggled for present yard, albeit not seen to best effect when fourth of 7 in a C&D handicap when last seen in June. Lines up here from basement mark but others hold more pressing claims. Poor strike-rate; modest fourth over C&D on last appearance.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (14/1 -56%) Sir Rock	14 14/1(-56%)	(4) Sir Rock 14/1, Made a very bright start over fences during second half of last term, winning handicaps at Plumpton/here prior to a very good second at first-named venue on final outing in March. Likely needed his hurdles return here 5 weeks ago and better anticipated returned to chasing. Cheekpieces go on. Interesting returned to chasing, given his solid record over fences.

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

Call Off The Dogs made it three wins from his last four starts when scoring by half a length over track and trip in September and it would be no surprise to see him get involved off 5lb higher. However, the vote goes to SAMAZUL, who made a victorious debut over fences when scoring in good style over 2m2f here last time and should improve for this rise in distance. Last-time-out winner West Orchard is another to take seriously.

SAMAZUL impressed with how he jumped/travelled when making a winning chase debut here (17.8f) 16 days ago. He promises to do better still judged by the manner of that success and makes plenty of appeal back up in trip. Sir Rock, with a reappearance run over hurdles behind him, and Call Off The Dogs, who has landed 3 of his last 4 starts here, can provide chief resistance.

With further improvement a possibility, SAMAZUL (nap) is taken to follow up his reappearance win. Call Off The Dogs is next best.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2/1 -82%) Fromheretoeternity	2 2/1(-82%)	(1) Fromheretoeternity 2/1, Runner-up in handicap at Wexford (17.2f) in May, before seeming stretched by longer trip when seventh of 18 at Listowel (20.4f, good) the following month. Left Declan Queally and fitted with cheekpieces, she displayed much-improved form when successful at Worcester 3 weeks ago. Sets the standard. Won just a Class 5 handicap last time; penalised but this isn't a strong novice.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 +70%) Sunset Hill	7.5 15/2(+70%)	(5) Sunset Hill 15/2, Unplaced in points and minor promise only both starts under Rules. Well held on two previous visits here (bumper/novice) and opposable for now.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/11 +52%) Just Call Me Lucy	0.727273 8/11(+52%)	(2) Just Call Me Lucy 8/11, Related to a point winner and bolted up on second bumper start at Carlisle (17f, soft) in December. Fared as well as could be expected when mid-field in Grade 2 company at Aintree and she's a major player on hurdles debut. Form in bumpers good enough to suggest she has a bright future over hurdles.
4	6 4th (6) (33/1 -50%) Uokhun	33 33/1(-50%)	(6) Uokhun 33/1, Arcadio mare who is bred to stay well and shaped with some encouragement when fourth of 11 in bumper at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) last March. Off 10 months after and looked in need of the run on hurdles debut in January. Tongue tie on having missed further 9 months. Ran okay in a bumper but then dropped into a selling hurdle and was pulled up.
5th	4 5th (4) (100/1 -1011%) Reina Blanca	100 100/1(-1011%)	(4) Reina Blanca 100/1, Sea Moon filly. Dam (b78), in frame once in bumpers, half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Tazbar. Shaped like a stayer in a Fontwell bumper in September but kept to 2m for hurdles bow. Remote fourth of the six runners in a Fontwell bumper.
6th	3 6th (3) (25/1 -56%) Lady Buttercup	25 25/1(-56%)	(3) Lady Buttercup 25/1, Left previous bumper form well behind when landing 6-runner contest at Warwick in September. Low-key hurdles debut at Southwell since, though. Won a weak bumper and she struggled at lengthy odds when switched to hurdles.

A revelation on her first start for the Jennie Candlish stable last month when scoring at Worcester, FROMHERETOETERNITY might have a bit more improvement in her and the daughter of Doyen is taken to go in again. A bumper winner at Carlisle last December before competing at a much higher level the last twice, Just Call Me Lucy must be of interest on her hurdles bow, while Reina Blanca is another to monitor for market support.

Likely to develop into a match between JUST CALL ME LUCY and Fromheretoeternity, with marginal preference for the former in receipt of 7 lb in the hope she takes to hurdling at the first attempt.

Mark Walford's JUST CALL ME LUCY showed more than enough in bumpers to believe she can win a novice hurdle of this nature.

1	1 1st (1) (4/9 -11%) Captain Teague		0.444444 4/9(-11%)																															(1) Captain Teague 4/9, Third in Champion Bumper and translated all that ability to hurdles last season, winning Persian War at Chepstow and Grade 1 Challow Hurdle at Newbury. Prominent in betting but well held in Albert Bartlett in March but fancied to make his mark on return/chase debut (has had a wind op). Grade 1-winning novice hurdler and chasing was always going to be his game; exciting.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

This looks a good opportunity for CAPTAIN TEAGUE to get off the mark at the first time of asking over fences. The form of his Grade 1 Challow Novices' Hurdle victory last December has a strong look to it and it will be no surprise if he is able to take similarly high rank over the larger obstacles. Point-to-point winner Deafening Silence impressed when scoring over 2m4f in a Sandown Grade 2 last term and he merits respect on his chase bow. Daring Plan has plenty to find on ratings and should find easier assignments down the line.

Paul Nicholls has won 4 of the previous 6 renewals of this contest and he can enhance that excellent record further with CAPTAIN TEAGUE, who won half of his 4 starts over hurdles last season (including a Grade 1) and looks very much the type to make an impact in novice chases this term. Progressive hurdler Deafening Silence rates as the obvious danger also making his return/chase bow.

A match on their chasing debuts. CAPTAIN TEAGUE would be conceding 9lb to Deafening Silence in a handicap.

14:00 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (5/2 +72%) Ri Na Cuirte	2.5 5/2(+72%)	(7) Ri Na Cuirte 5/2, Low-mileage sort who came in a below-form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) in May. Weighted to go well though if back on song for his return. Maiden who has possibilities on return from layoff; best efforts when fresh.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 -100%) Craven Bay	3.5 7/2(-100%)	(1) Craven Bay 7/2, Very much on the up for his new yard, landing 3m2f handicap hurdles at Warwick and Hereford of late. Up another 4 lb but he's a player in his hat-trick bid. Two from two for new stable; all out last time but may improve further; respected.

CRAVEN BAY made it 2-2 since joining the Toby Lawes stable when scoring by a head at Hereford last time and is only 4lb higher for that triumph. The eight-year-old remains in the same grade and can complete the hat-trick. Fortuna Ligna occupied the runner-up berth in a stronger event than this at Cartmel on her latest outing in May and could have a say off the same mark. Heaven Smart completes the shortlist.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and CRAVEN BAY is fancied to defy another 4 lb rise in the weights and go 3-3 for Toby Lawes. Cartmel runner-up Fortuna Ligna appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Heaven Smart and Ri Na Cuirte.

Maiden RI NA CUIRTE seems best when fresh and is interesting off a reduced mark back from a layoff. Craven Bay is second choice.

Noted being outpaced before keeping on again when fifth of 10 in a Carlisle novice (17f, soft) on hurdles bow 22 days ago and this increase in trip promises to suit. Worth a second look. Stuck on late at Carlisle (2m1f) recently and today's longer trip round here should suit.

After a further 16 months off, shaped as if retaining his ability when fourth in a Kelso maiden in March, so worth a second look back from another 8 months off. Barely seen in recent times and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market.

Switched yards ahead of hurdles bow and interesting to see what the market makes of him. Nothing exciting in three bumpers for Iain Jardine; needs to improve for the yard switch.
7th	2 7th (2) (150/1 0%) Danno's Dollar	150 150/1(0%)	(2) Danno's Dollar 150/1, Little impact both starts in bumpers for Sandy Thomson and similar story in trio of hurdle starts for present yard.

Hood goes on for hurdles debut and booking of Brian Hughes an obvious plus. Not discounted. Fair 4th in Perth bumper for new yard but needs more now hurdling in a first-time hood.

A promising second on his hurdles debut at Wetherby last week, EXPRESS RUN outran his odds and, but for some jumping errors late on, he may well have gone closer. Justin Landy's charge is expected to have improved for that spin and he may have too much for Shadowfax Of Rohan, who performed with credit on his first start for new connections at Perth in August and could go well on his hurdles bow. Chasingouttheblues should relish the step up in trip and is another to bear in mind.

HELSGETAWAY showed plenty to work on when finishing midfield on hurdles debut at Wetherby 23 days ago and with that experience unlikely to be lost on him, he can find the requisite improvement and come out on top. Hurdles-debutant Shadowfax of Rohan and Chasingouttheblues are others to consider, along with the returning Kidman.

Today's longer trip should suit Chasingouttheblues, while the stiffer track ought to help HELSGETAWAY, whose dam was a dour stayer.

Weakened out of things when seventh in Arkle at Cheltenham in March but this rates more suitable and record fresh is impressive. Tongue strap on/had wind surgery. Grade 2 winner last season and was one of Britain's better novice chasers.

Placed in Golden Miller at Cheltenham prior to a lesser effort in Aintree Grade 1 on final start but he remains low-mileage as a 6-y-o and he commands respect back in handicap/after 6 months off. Classy novice who can deal with this mark in a handicap; stable seems fairly forward.

Ran well to finish third turned out quickly at Ayr later that month and he appeals as the type who has more wins in him this campaign. Impressive winner of a big 2m handicap last season; improving and working well at home.

Feasible to think last month's Cheltenham return effort will have brought him on but yard may well hold stronger claims with Jpr One. Progressive last season but probably needs to go further at this level of competition.

Blunder didn't help his cause upped to Grade 1 level at Aintree in April and he remains the type to do better again this term. 3-4 over fences, the defeat coming in Aintree's Grade 1; retains plenty of potential.

JPR One has progressed nicely over fences, with the seven-year-old landing a Grade 2 at Lingfield in January. The Arkle ended up being a step too far, but the combination of a wind operation and a tongue-tie should aid his cause on his return to action. The vote, though, goes to Turners third DJELO, who has won first time out for the past three seasons and Venetia Williams' gelding appears capable of further progression. Red Rum winner Sans Bruit remains open to improvement, as does Etalon.

ETALON made giant strides forward following his switch to chasing last season, winning 3 times prior to shaping better than the bare result in Grade 1 company on his final start. Still unexposed and retaining potential for better still, he shades the vote on return, with Jpr One, who boasts a smashing record fresh, and Djelo heading up the dangers.

Djelo and JPR One can hold their own at Grade 1 level but Paul Nicholls reckons that SANS BRUIT has a lot more to offer.

Has since left E. d'Andigne (for €125,000) and interesting to see what the market makes of him on return/handicap debut. Recorded 8l win on final French run; sold for 125,000euros since; interesting recruit.

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

DOUBLE POWERFUL arrives here on the back of four wins and even a 14lb higher mark than his 24-length success at Worcester last month may not be enough to stop him. That said, Jilaijone was not disgraced on his return at Cheltenham recently and should not be underestimated. Kissman is also noted on his debut for these connections having won when last seen in France earlier in the year.

The 5-timer beckons for DOUBLE POWERFUL, who made mincemeat of another field of low-grade handicappers at Worcester last month and Neil Mulholland's 5-y-o is taken to defy a hefty 14 lb rise at the expense of Jilaijone, who remains without a win since his British debut (at this track) but ran creditably on his recent return at Cheltenham. French-recruit Kissman, who changed hands for €125,000 in July, rounds off the shortlist.

A chance is taken on JILAIJONE, who has an underwhelming strike-rate but looks interesting returned to the scene of his sole win.

The Churchill Lad pipped Caithness over C&D, with Dream Jet back in third, before finding only one too strong when attempting to follow up at Carlisle. There is more to come from him, but a chance is taken on the fitness of ONE MORE STROKE. Donald McCain's five-year-old was a promising novice hurdler earlier in the year and lost little in defeat on his handicap debut at Newcastle. He has the potential to make up into a much better chaser, certainly one who is capable of handling a mark of 115.

Cases can be made for all the quintet, but the suggestion is CAITHNESS, who went down by a head to the race-fit The Churchill Lad on chasing debut over C&D 5 weeks ago and can turn the tables now 1 lb better off with that rival here. One More Stroke, who was runner-up on both starts in Irish points earlier in his career, rounds off the shortlist making his return/chase bow fitted in a tongue tie.

After his promising second on his chase debut over C&D last time CAITHNESS is taken to reverse the placings with The Churchill Lad.

Ability is there to threaten off this mark and cheekpieces tried after two quiet runs.

BRENDAS ASKING was value for further than the winning distance when getting off the mark at Ludlow on her return from a break. Kim Bailey's mare is going in the right direction and appears capable of defying a 7lb rise for that success. Versace Twentyone drops back in trip for her handicap debut, which is likely to see her in a better light. It's Easy and Asian Spice complete the shortlist.

ASIAN SPICE won twice at this venue last year and with last month's encouraging return under her belt, she's a solid alternative to Brendas Asking, who will doubtless be popular in the betting as a last-time-out winner. Of the rest, Miss Goldfire could improve now handicapping.

A few with chances but ASIAN SPICE was a winner on this card 12 months ago and history might repeat itself.

SAFE DESTINATION took a big step forward when scoring readily over 3m at Market Rasen in September and the six-year-old should be capable of defying a 5lb rise in this company. Eurkash was well held when second over C&D a couple of weeks ago but a first-time visor could spark some improvement, while any market support for Proper Twelve would have to be noted on his return to action.

EURKASH hasn't won for a good while but he's not had much racing for current connections and his latest effort over C&D suggests he's ready to strike, so he's preferred to last-time-out winner Safe Destination. Proper Twelve is of interest if the market speaks in his favour on debut for a new yard.

It's a long time since his sole success but EURKASH holds a solid chance on recent C&D form. Pawpaw is second choice.

Others look better treated. Better over hurdles than on the Flat, third on h'cap debut latest; each-way chance.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 +75%) Bridgetjoans	10 10/1(+75%)	(4) Bridgetjoans 10/1, Looked rusty after 4 months off when pulled up in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Perth and failed to step up on that at Sedgefield a month ago. Two decent handicap seconds earlier in the year but has been disappointing since.

Signs of promise in three hurdling outings last winter and, while recent efforts on the level have been poor, he's worthy of interest. Quite useful on the Flat in France; disappointing over hurdles; handicap debut.

Mr Le Philosophe has shown very little since arriving from France, especially on the Flat the last twice, but it could mean he is dangerously well handicapped. Even so, it would take a big leap of faith to select him so NATIONAL QUESTION, who was a surprise second at Newcastle last week and is well-in here, gets the nod. Grifter is better than he showed in that race, while A Day To Dream offered a bit more encouragement at Sedgefield.

FOREST BLAZE has likely been brought along with handicaps in mind and his opening mark is lenient based on bumper form, so he gets the nod over fellow handicap debutant Mr Le Philosophe. National Question should also be considered after a solid showing at Newcastle 8 days ago.

As National Question lacks consistency the choice is GRIFTER who was in good form before a below-par run at Newcastle last week.

Obvious claims under a penalty (officially 6 lb 'well-in'). Will be 6lb higher from tomorrow; good test over this trip fine and goes on the shortlist.
2	9 2nd (9) (12/1 -50%) Prince Achille	12 12/1(-50%)	(9) Prince Achille 12/1, Three-time C&D winner. Good second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 10 days ago.

Back up in trip and tongue strap on 1st time. Needs to raise her game but she's in good hands and it's still early days. Lightly raced; stiffer test should suit if she's more amenable and she's one to consider.
5th	4 5th (4) (33/1 -106%) Eeetee	33 33/1(-106%)	(4) Eeetee 33/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/2, below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 29 days ago. Others make more appeal. Regressed for this yard since returning from nine months off; has to better recent efforts.

Given a ten-week break since a below-par effort back on Tapeta round Southwell; outsider.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 -33%) Disclosure	16 16/1(-33%)	(7) Disclosure 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, very good fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago but she'll need to step up on that if she's to play a leading role here. Pedigree gives hope on the stamina front but she'll need more for the stiffer test.
8th	1 8th (1) (4/1 +56%) Walsingham	4 4/1(+56%)	(1) Walsingham 4/1, Below form second of 5 in novice (6/5) at Redcar (8f, soft) 21 days ago. Up in trip for this tapeta debut and he's a leading contender. Costly to follow; brother to a 1m4f winner, so return to 1m2f should be okay on AW debut.
9th	3 9th (3) (7/1 -180%) Isle Of Wolves	7 7/1(-180%)	(3) Isle Of Wolves 7/1, Three wins from 12 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (9/4) at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 9 days ago, soon clear. 0-24 on the AW but he's a major player under a penalty all the same. Been in cracking form on soft/heavy ground of late; 6lb well in; needs more back on Tapeta.
10th	10 10th (10) (150/1 -127%) The Nu Form Way	150 150/1(-127%)	(10) The Nu Form Way 150/1, 66/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 29 days ago and he's hard to warm to. Five-time turf winner who's struggled in four runs since returning from 13 months off.

Having scored on three of his last four outings, the hat-trick seeking Isle of Wolves must enter calculations in his current vein of form. However, the switch to Tapeta asks a different question of him and MOLINARI shades the vote. Martin Todhunter's seven-year-old romped home over an extended 1m4f here last week and a return to 1m2f shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Prince Achille and Walsingham are also noted.

The two that stand out are ISLE OF WOLVES and Molinari, both of whom are 6 lb 'well-in' under penalties following similarly emphatic recent victories at Nottingham and this course respectively. Though 0-24 on the all-weather, Harriet Bethell's charge has been placed 12 times on synthetics and he is marginally preferred. Walsingham is best of the rest.

Molinari (second choice) and Isle Of Wolves are both 6lb well in but INVERSION is open to improvement if she settles better.

Can build on it here so one to consider. Dual hurdle winner; good third on chase debut despite being weak in the market.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 +55%) Tea Clipper	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(5) Tea Clipper 9/2, Unreliable sort but he posted a creditable fourth of 9 in handicap chase over C&D (good to soft) 17 days ago. Needs to back it up tried in a visor for the 1st time. 1-17 over fences and fluffed some very winnable opportunities last season.

Very much one to consider now back chasing. Goes in against rivals with greater scope for improvement in this discipline.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/2 +36%) Egbert	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(4) Egbert 9/2, A dual chase winner at up to 3m last season who was pulled up in Scottish Grand National at Ayr (31.8f, good to soft) final run. Not ruled out back in trip for his return. Can look a hard ride at times but return of the visor could help and he goes well fresh.

Tongue strap back on with lots more required. Capable handicapper on his day; latest run forgiven in the Velka Pardubicka.

Having found only the 142-rated Hometown Boy just too strong in a novice event at Worcester, compensation could be on the cards for COCO MADEMOISELLE on this switch to handicap company. That was the six-year-old's seasonal/chase debut and a mark of 122 looks more than workable. Tea Clipper has fallen down to an attractive mark and isn't taken lightly in a first-time visor. Tom Lacey's charge is feared most, ahead of the returning Egbert.

A case can be made for a few of these but COCO MADEMOISELLE starts life in handicaps on an attractive mark so looks the way to go. Course-winner Striking A Pose rates the main threat to Dan Skelton's progressive sort, with Tightenourbelts, Beachcomber and Wiseguy all in the mix too in this competitive handicap.

This is a good handicap but a chance is taken on WISEGUY (nap), who ran his best race last season here on his comeback run.

Little impact sent hurdling for new connections last term but a spin on the Flat last month will have blown away the cobwebs ahead of his handicap debut in this sphere. Useful on the Flat so this mark is potentially a gift; betting to guide.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 +63%) Lady Caro	6 6/1(+63%)	(6) Lady Caro 6/1, Remains winless following 7 attempts in this sphere but she is not without hope here judged on bits and pieces of form, including her recent fourth in a 15-runner Plumpton handicap (2m, good to soft). One to consider. Second over C&D in April; no progress since but latest run was okay.
3	1 3rd (1) (8/1 -256%) Mavis Pike	8 8/1(-256%)	(1) Mavis Pike 8/1, Built on previous promise when making all on handicap debut at Fakenham (2m, good) recently, proving 2¾ lengths too strong for Dreams Fled Away. Very much of interest under a penalty kept to a left-handed, sharp track. Made all to win at Fakenham last week; 7lb penalty to shoulder; could have more to offer.
4	9 4th (9) (20/1 +20%) Gearing's Point	20 20/1(+20%)	(9) Gearing's Point 20/1, Four-time Flat winner who made an encouraging start over hurdles when second in a maiden here last summer. However, she hasn't improved for the switch to handicap company on her last 2 starts in this sphere. 4-time Flat winner; mixed record over hurdles but the return to a sound surface will help.
5th	13 5th (13) (7/2 +81%) Spicy Nelson	3.5 7/2(+81%)	(13) Spicy Nelson 7/2, Has offered little so far, finishing a well-held fifth in a 9-runner Taunton handicap (first run following a wind op) when last seen in February. Snippets of ability, including at Taunton when last seen; lowly mark and may do better.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 +44%) Card Dealer	9 9/1(+44%)	(2) Card Dealer 9/1, Placed both starts between the flags and shaped well on Rules debut in an Ascot bumper back in October 2021. However, didn't show much switched to hurdles during second half of 2021/22 campaign and probably best watched on the back of such a lengthy absence (has undergone a wind op in the interim). Promise early in his career; makes handicap hurdle debut after 982 days off.
7th	14 7th (14) (150/1 -50%) No Guarantee	150 150/1(-50%)	(14) No Guarantee 150/1, No more than a poor maiden judged on evidence available and looks set for another struggle from 9 lb out of the handicap here. He has started at 200-1 or bigger in eight of his nine starts and shown little; no appeal.
8th	10 8th (10) (33/1 -65%) Smith	33 33/1(-65%)	(10) Smith 33/1, Successful 7 times on the Flat but he's something of an AW specialist and while he makes his handicap debut in this sphere on a lowly mark, this 8-y-o makes limited appeal judged on previous hurdles exploits. Multiple 2m AW winner on the Flat; best hurdle run came last month but the form looks weak.
9th	4 9th (4) (40/1 -300%) Hurst Hill	40 40/1(-300%)	(4) Hurst Hill 40/1, Placed in a couple of mares' novice events at Newton Abbot during the early part of the summer (both at around 17f). Safely held back from a break in an Exeter maiden last month but there were still positives to gean from that effort and she should do better now pitched into a handicap. Makes handicap debut at a realistic level but improvement looks a must.

Two AW wins in Ireland last winter; good 2nd on recent handicap hurdle debut; 3lb well in.

Unplaced in eight starts in Ireland; not obviously well treated starting out for new yard.

Mavis Pike has to be of interest having got off the mark over 2m at Fakenham last week, but a 7lb penalty has to be a slight concern. With that in mind, preference is for LADY CARO, who caught the eye when fourth at Plumpton recently and she may have more to offer here. Dreams Fled Away was second to Mavis Pike last time and is another to consider.

OFFICER OF STATE hasn't shown a great deal over hurdles so far, but he has to be of interest now handicapping off this mark given the level of ability he showed for Andre Fabre on the Flat. Dreams Fled Away is taken to reverse recent Fakenham placings with Mavis Pike on these revised terms, while Lady Caro makes each-way appeal.

Gearing's Point can go well back on a sound surface but OFFICER OF STATE could prove leniently treated on his handicap hurdle debut.

Fainche proved costly to follow at the end of her last campaign and although she will have her supporters once more, she may need the ground a bit more testing. In contrast, BERGENTOWN has handled a sound surface to occupy the runner-up berth on two of his last three outings and might be able to boost a moderate strike-rate. Dequall also arrives on the back of a second, over C&D last month, and should be in contention again.

BERGENTOWN rates the pick of these weights on the back of his very good Sedgefield second so edges the vote in this very open handicap. The returning Fainche could emerge as the main danger now renuited with Brian Hughes, although Dequall, Twoplacesatonetime and Beat The Boum all need factoring in too.

A chance is taken on LADY HAMILTON who was in good form earlier in the year and should improve for last month's reappearance run.

LIMA SIERRA shaped encouragingly when a staying-on third over an inadequate 5f here recently. That was the Kodi Bear filly's first appearance in handicap company and she looks ready to open her account on this return to 6f. The biggest threat may emerge in the shape of Aria's Dream, who arrives on the back of a surprise close-up second over C&D. Nursery debutant Bella Fortunata is bred to be better than her opening mark and market support would be interesting.

The Nigel Tinkler-trained fillies ARIA'S DREAM and Lima Sierra hold the most appealing claims, with ready preference for the former who left her previous form well behind when going close over C&D three weeks ago. Bella Fortunata hasn't shown much in her qualifying runs but it wouldn't be the greatest of surprises were she to take a step forward now switched to a nursery.

Nigel Tinkler could hold the key to the race and ARIA'S DREAM is taken to get the better of stablemate Lima Sierra.

3	6 3rd (6) (16/1 -45%) Iris Des Issards	16 16/1(-45%)	(6) Iris Des Issards 16/1, Ex-pointer who is still unexposed as a hurdler and took a forward step when runner-up at Taunton 7 months ago. Will probably need this first outing since, though. Has a race in him off this mark, though does seem well suited by soft ground.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 -38%) Zodiac Star	11 11/1(-38%)	(5) Zodiac Star 11/1, Winner in hurdle at Stratford in July. 8/1, good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good) 30 days ago, staying on well. Not fully exposed and still seems to be getting better. Stayed on into second at Ludlow and today's stiffer track promises to suit.
5th	8 5th (8) (14/1 +44%) Impecunious	14 14/1(+44%)	(8) Impecunious 14/1, Has shown a fair level of form at best over hurdles but doesn't look the most straightforward and recent handicap debut was underwhelming. Others make more appeal. Interesting on his good-ground novice form; soft perhaps no good on recent handicap debut.
6th	3 6th (3) (13/2 -63%) King Of The Road	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(3) King Of The Road 13/2, Latest win in hurdle at Market Rasen in April. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f, good, 3/1). Off 6 months. In-form yard should have him tuned up and he may be able to resume progress. Upwardly mobile earlier this year and he wouldn't be exposed just yet.
7th	11 7th (11) (9/2 +63%) Final Entry	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(11) Final Entry 9/2, Made a winning start over hurdles in a juvenile at Newton Abbot in July and was back on track when third there a couple of months ago. Interesting handicap debutant getting chunks of weight for age. Latest 3rd in a juvenile is working out fine; has to be of interest with 3yo allowance.
8th	4 8th (4) (18/1 -13%) Sergeant	18 18/1(-13%)	(4) Sergeant 18/1, Resumed winning ways in no uncertain terms at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in August but next effort was tame and he refused to race at Wincanton last time, so seemingly going the wrong way in terms of temperament. Capable handicapper but his refusal to race at Wincanton sets the alarm bells ringing.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (7/2 -5%) Centara	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(2) Centara 7/2, 9/4 and hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good), running on. Off 6 months. Remains with the scope for better based on bumper form. Taunton win has worked out well and 4lb rise won't be beyond him if returning in top order.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (28/1 +15%) Alkhattaaf	28 28/1(+15%)	(12) Alkhattaaf 28/1, Just modest form at best over hurdles and, while still unexposed, he's hard to make a strong case for returning from such a lengthy absence. Dual Flat winner; well held in two handicap hurdles and has been off a good while.

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

The fitting of a first-time hood seemed to work the trick for CENTARA when landing the spoils at Taunton in April. Paul Nicholls' six-year-old has since undergone a wind procedure and, given the recent upturn in form of the yard's runners, he could make light work of a 4lb higher mark on his return to action. Zodiac Star offered plenty of encouragement when second at Ludlow and another prominent role is forecast. King Of The Road may fare best of the remainder.

SUNNINGHILL was fair on the Flat and showed the benefit of his hurdling debut when an encouraging third in a novice at Uttoxeter last time, so he's worth a chance to make a successful early switch to handicaps from a potentially favourable mark. Juvenile Final Entry is an obvious threat and Centara is worthy of interest.

Difficult. A chance is taken on I HAVE A VOICE in the hope that he can tap back into his early promise on the back of wind surgery.

2	4 2nd (4) (6/4 +25%) Safanah	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(4) Safanah 6/4, Progressive filly. 22/1, excellent second of 6 in novice at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago. The one to beat. In front of two of these when 3rd at Catterick last month; better form latest; contender.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 -35%) Instant Bond	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(2) Instant Bond 9/2, Twice-raced gelding. 5/2, good second of 4 in maiden at this course (6f) 7 days ago. Needs to build on it though. Ran okay for second here (6f) last week; unexposed but the drop to 5f isn't sure to suit.
4	3 4th (3) (33/1 0%) Angel Of Mather's	33 33/1(0%)	(3) Angel Of Mather's 33/1, 25/1, last of 6 in novice at Catterick (6f, heavy) on debut 20 days ago. Lots more is needed. 25-1 when tailed off at Catterick (6f) on debut three weeks ago; not easily recommended.

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

Having disappointed on his last three appearances, Cash In has failed to build on a promising second at Ripon in early June and a change of surface will need to rejuvenate him, while Angel Of Mather's can only be watched after tailing off on debut at Catterick. This is likely to be fought out by last-time-out seconds Instant Bond and SAFANAH, with preference for the latter. Richard Fahey's filly has improved with each outing and her form looks a touch stronger.

SAFANAH has improved wih each of her three runs to date so Richard Fahey's filly is taken to go one better than her excellent recent Wolverhampton second. Cash In wasn't at his best when fifth at Catterick last time but still rates the main threat ahead of Instant Bond.

A repeat of either of CASH IN's two runs away from soft ground would suffice in a weak race. Safanah is feared most.

1	1 1st (1) (11/1 -100%) Court Phoenix	11 11/1(-100%)	(1) Court Phoenix 11/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Fourth of 13 in maiden (12/1) at Navan (5f, good to soft) 16 days ago, clear briefly 2f out and caught well inside final 1f. No surprise to see him thereabouts. Narrowly failed from the front at Navan; progressive and might be tougher to peg back.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/5 +36%) Beatrix Power	0.8 4/5(+36%)	(4) Beatrix Power 4/5, Lightly-raced filly. Bit below form second of 13 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft, 8/11) 16 days ago, not quickening late on having travelled best. One of the likelier types on polytrack debut. Consistent in maiden company and versatile as to ground; likely to run her race again.
3	6 3rd (6) (17/2 -13%) Crystal Luna	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(6) Crystal Luna 17/2, 33/1, got back on track with headgear discarded when sixth of 13 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) 16 days ago, finishing well. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers back on. Behind three of these at Navan last time; likely to do better in handicaps in due course.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 -29%) Twotolose	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(3) Twotolose 9/2, Harry Angel gelding who improved on debut form despite appearing to be done no favours by the drop in trip when third of 13 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft, 17/2) 16 days ago, keeping on well. Remains lightly raced and he may do better again. Navan third still open to improvement and should go close if getting the breaks here.
5th	8 5th (8) (50/1 -213%) Overdue Revival	50 50/1(-213%)	(8) Overdue Revival 50/1, Kuroshio filly who got back on track when fourth of 8 in maiden at this course (6f) 21 days ago. Switch to handicaps will likely be more in her favour. Showed ability in a couple of maidens over further, including over 6f here last month.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/2 -5%) Mint Man	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(2) Mint Man 7/2, Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 13 Flat runs. 7/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft) 16 days ago, beaten 1f out. Enters calculations back in maiden company. Rating entitles him to plenty of respect here but a couple of others have a bit more scope.

Hooded, last of 13 in maiden (150/1) at Navan (5f, good to soft) on debut 16 days ago, always behind. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Last after a slow start behind a few of these at Navan last month; up against it.
8th	5 8th (5) (80/1 -60%) Bright Lightening	80 80/1(-60%)	(5) Bright Lightening 80/1, Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 13 in maiden (50/1) at this course (6f) in April, not clear run over 1f out before keeping on. Absent since and she could be an interesting one for handicaps on the back of this. Struggled at big prices in two runs over sprint trips so far back in the spring.

Four of these chased home White Clover at Navan last month, with BEATRIX POWER the best of them in second. While an odds-on chance on that occasion, she is given the chance to recoup losses. Twotolose and Court Phoenix were third and fourth in that Navan contest, just half a length and a short head behind the selection. It'll come as no surprise if either manages to reverse the form. Without a win in 13 starts, Mint Man has been frustrating to follow. A runner-up three times at this venue, he certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Representing the in-form yard of Danny Murphy, Crystal Luna, who was sixth in that aforementioned Navan heat, is another worthy of consideration.

BEATRIX POWER may have just found a 4-month absence catching her out when runner-up in a Navan maiden 16 days ago and she's worth another chance to get off the mark on polytrack debut. Mint Man's best form entitles him to respect, and he's feared, ahead of Twotolose and Court Phoenix, who were both narrowly behind the selection last time.

The selection is the unexposed TWOTOLOSE who finished well at Navan last time and would have gone closer with more luck in running

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

KRISTAL KLEAR arrives having won two of her last four starts, finishing second in the other two. Both victories have come on the all-weather, at Southwell and Wolverhampton, and the four-year-old has been found an excellent opportunity to continue her rich vein of form. Keep Me Stable is 2lb higher than her last winning mark and may prove to be the strongest threat to the selection, although first-time blinkers could make a difference for Lincoln Legacy.

KRISTAL KLEAR has been in excellent form and is well named in the context of this race as he should have too much for his rivals dropping back to a more suitable trip. Keep Me Stable is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs her lines and Lincoln Legacy isn't completely ruled out.

It's hard to get away from KRISTAL KLEAR, who's progressive on Tapeta. Keep Me Stable, who's currently 3-6 over C&D, is next best.

This looks a good opportunity for GLYDE RANGER to follow up his recent C&D success. Slowly away and trailing the field, the Tom McCourt-trained chestnut made smooth headway in the straight and eventually eased to a remarkable four-length win. Newly-crowned champion apprentice James Ryan again takes the ride on the four-year-old and if the same patient tactics are deployed, he should prove hard to beat. With Nicola Burns claiming a valuable 7lb, Autocrat looks a danger. On what was his debut for Dick Donohoe, the No Nay Never bay was a solid fourth in a stronger contest over C&D last week. Consistent of late, Bright N Shine is capable of making an impact, and so is Come On The Lads.

Following a couple of non-completions over hurdles, COME ON THE LADS offered more back on the level at Galway 11 days ago and assuming he sees this trip out, the assessor has given him a major chance. Glyde Ranger was an easy winner here last week so has to command respect, with Velvet And Wine another to consider for place purposes.

It might just pay to side with the penalised GLYDE RANGER, who comes here in form after bolting up over C&D last week

LTO Selection:hiden content,

TANCREDI was no match for an odds-on shot when making his racecourse debut here just 10 days ago. However, that experience is unlikely to be lost on George Boughey's gelding and he gets the vote at the main expense of Sovereign Sea, who cost 200,000 euros at the Arqana May Breeze-Up sale in 2023. Stoneacre may get the better of Jolie Coeur Allen in the battle for third.

SOVEREIGN SEA is related to a useful sort and cost plenty at the Breeze-Ups, so he's worth taking a chance on having been found a weak race to start out in. Tancredi should improve from his debut and looks the obvious danger.

200,000euros 2yo SOVEREIGN SEA has been found the ideal race on debut and can see off Tancredi.

Joseph O'Brien saddles three debutants and the experienced Cradle Of Love in this open contest. Market trends should be informative with regards to the newcomers, with Dancing Teapot a sister to Epsom Derby sixth and Group 1 runner-up Dancing Gemini. Fortuna Vera is also well-bred, while the 84-rated Cradle Of Love sets the standard. For a selection, it might be worth siding with CHOCALHO. Out of a Group 1 winner in Argentina, she ran a nice race when fourth on debut at Gowran and is sure to come on plenty for that effort. Formerly in the care of Ollie Sangster, Stiorra is of interest on debut for Andy Slattery, while Misappropriation and Brosna Green are others for the shortlist.

Joseph O'Brien's CRADLE OF LOVE holds much the best form on show so is fancied to finally get off the mark on the back of her very good recent C&D third. Ger Lyons' Misappropriation could emerge as the main danger, with Chocalho and Stiorra also in the mix.

The one to be on could well be MISAPPROPRIATION, who was below-par on softer ground at Naas, but should be more at home on this surface

Makes tapeta debut. Shortlist material as he has the potential to rate higher as a sprinter. Engaged 6.15 Newcastle Thursday. Landed gamble at Bath last week; followed up (6f) on Thurs; 10lb penalty; still well in.
2	11 2nd (11) (16/1 +52%) Blackcurrent	16 16/1(+52%)	(11) Blackcurrent 16/1, Four-time C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 22/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 17 days ago. Difficult ask on recent form.

Carries penalty but she retains plenty of handicap scope. Made all in new cheekpieces at Catterick ten days ago (5f, soft); not sure to back it up.

Ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 25/1) 15 days ago. Visor back on. Placed twice over C&D last month; below par the next twice; others safer.

Tumbled in the weights without looking ready to take advantage. Tumbled down weights but with good reason; no better for return to AW latest; too risky.

10th	7 10th (7) (7/1 +7%) Elzaal	7 7/1(+7%)	(7) Elzaal 7/1, Five-time C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. Shaped as though in need of the outing when seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 17 days ago. Looks competitive on form with that under his belt. Multiple C&D winner; down to a lowly mark and he's one to take seriously.
11th	3 11th (3) (28/1 -27%) Mecca's Duchess	28 28/1(-27%)	(3) Mecca's Duchess 28/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 17 days ago, blinkers perhaps not working second time, Exposed maiden; behind a few of these over C&D last month; stable run two here.

CALAFRIO has been knocking on the door since returning to the all-weather with a pair of runner-up efforts at Southwell and over C&D last week. The daughter of Le Brivido wouldn't need to improve on those displays to get her head back in front. Ninety Nine is respected under a 6lb penalty following her surprise Catterick success last week, as are Stallone and Cuban Rock.

Cheekpieces worked a treat when NINENTY NINE bounced back to form in no uncertain terms at Catterick 10 days ago and from just 2 lb higher, she must go close again if she's in a similar mood. HK Fourteen landed a notable gamble at Bath last week and is a huge threat of taking up this engagement, with Calafrio likely to be on the premises.

Last month's return to action could have sharpened up ELZAAL and he's marginally preferred to Calafrio and HK Fourteen.

1	12 1st (12) (11/4 -10%) Sakti	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(12) Sakti 11/4, Useful filly. Course winner. Respectable 2 lengths second of 16 to Azada in listed race at Naas (8f, good to soft, 5/2) 26 days ago. Stable in good form. One to consider. Trip and surface are fine and an outside draw is not a hindrance here anymore; big chance.
2	14 2nd (14) (17/2 +23%) Vivienda	8.5 17/2(+23%)	(14) Vivienda 17/2, Useful filly. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. 15/8, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Likeable type. First try at stakes level here and no surprise should she be able to make the step up.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/3 +67%) Cloud Cover	3.333333 10/3(+67%)	(2) Cloud Cover 10/3, Useful filly. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. SHaped much better than the result when ninth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 22 days ago, not much room. Expected to be bang there given excellent AW record. Five AW wins; went close in a Listed at Chelmsford in July and respected on that run alone.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 +45%) Andromeda	12 12/1(+45%)	(5) Andromeda 12/1, Fairly useful filly. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, well-beaten eleventh of 17 to Hamish in listed race at the Curragh (12f, good to soft) 5 days ago. In the right hands to bounce back but does need to raise her game. This drop back in trip is far from guaranteed to suit and she likes soft ground.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 -65%) Ojw Legacy	14 14/1(-65%)	(9) Ojw Legacy 14/1, Useful filly. Winner at the Curragh in June. 13/2, good 3 lengths fourth of 8 to My Mate Alfie in listed race at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Best form is at 6f, including a fourth in a Naas Listed last month; unknown territory.
6th	1 6th (1) (17/2 -31%) Behind The Scenes	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(1) Behind The Scenes 17/2, Useful filly. Fifth of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW), not clear run. Off 9 months and this no easty task on return to action. Solid fourth in this race last year but off since January; possibly stable second string.
7th	4 7th (4) (12/1 +70%) Star Galaxy	12 12/1(+70%)	(4) Star Galaxy 12/1, Fairly useful filly. 33/1, 6¼ lengths twelfth of 16 to Azada in listed race at Naas (8f, good to soft) 26 days ago, slowly away. Makes polytrack debut and represents excellent yard, but career best is needed. Ran better than her finishing position in a Naas Listed last month; others preferred.
8th	10 8th (10) (12/1 +0%) Quadruple	12 12/1(+0%)	(10) Quadruple 12/1, Useful filly. Latest win at the Curragh in August. 7/2, good second of 6 in handicap at Navan (8f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Stable in good form and she may have a bigger performance in her. Progressive filly in handicaps this year; not stable first string here but should go well.
9th	6 9th (6) (40/1 -43%) Elinor Dashwood	40 40/1(-43%)	(6) Elinor Dashwood 40/1, Useful filly. 80/1, very good 1½ lengths fourth of 9 to Oujda in listed race at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 34 days ago, never nearer. Significantly back up in trip. Makes polytrack debut and she's in top form at present. Good fourth in a Curragh Listed; ran well over 1m in a Leopardstown premier handicap.
10th	7 10th (7) (11/1 +31%) Iseult Of Ireland	11 11/1(+31%)	(7) Iseult Of Ireland 11/1, Fairly useful filly. Creditable 11½ lengths fifth of 17 to Hamish in listed race (40/1) at the Curragh (12f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Doesn't look up to this level. Good Curragh run on Sunday; could go well with a similar ride here over the shorter trip.
11th	8 11th (8) (12/1 -20%) North Africa	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) North Africa 12/1, Fairly useful filly. Good 8½ lengths third of 17 to Hamish in listed race (25/1) at the Curragh (12f, good to soft) 5 days ago, keeping on well. Drop back in trip therefore is a major concern. Form over 1m would not be good enough here but evidence suggests she is improving.
12th	11 12th (11) (22/1 -120%) Red Viburnum	22 22/1(-120%)	(11) Red Viburnum 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 9/1, 16½ lengths thirteenth of 14 to Power Under Me in Concorde Stakes at Tipperary (7.4f, soft) 33 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Poor at Tipperary; not underestimated if she can put it together on this surface.
13th	3 13th (3) (125/1 -25%) Joupe	125 125/1(-25%)	(3) Joupe 125/1, Useful mare. Course winner. 12½ lengths eleventh of 16 to Caught U Looking in listed race (200/1) at Naas (12f, good to soft) 26 days ago, not much room. Significantly down in trip and has a good course record. Needs a trip these days; hard to fancy back at this trip on a sounder surface.
14th	13 14th (13) (40/1 -60%) Sumptuary Law	40 40/1(-60%)	(13) Sumptuary Law 40/1, Fairly useful filly. C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 4½ lengths sixth of 8 to Vivienda in handicap (7/2) at this course (7f) 21 days ago. This looks a tough ask. Winner on this surface last year but overall form falls short; stable outsider.

A field of 14 will face the starter, with Ger Lyons responsible for four, Aidan O'Brien three and James Tate two. Bidding to win this Listed heat for the third year in a row, Lyons saddles the top-rated SAKTI, who is the choice of Colin Keane. The Caravaggio bay has a course win to her name and was second in a similar contest at Naas last month. Her stable companion Vivienda steps up in class and warrants respect with James Ryan aboard, while North Africa looks the pick of O'Brien's three. Fourth in this race 12 months ago, Tate's Behind The Scenes warrants respect with the high-flying Rossa Ryan taking the ride. The progressive Elinor Dashwood and Dermot Weld's Red Viburnum are others for the shortlist.

A range of abilities on show with black type on offer. CLOUD COVER was a lot better the result at Southwell 3 weeks ago and already placed at this level, she looks the pick at the weights. Ger Lyons saddles 4 and has a couple of very live players in Sakti and Vivienda.

The one to beat should be the consistent SAKTI (nap), who's only win came on this surface and who has been consistent at this level

5	5 (5) (6/1 +8%) Emily Post	6 6/1(+8%)	(5) Emily Post 6/1, Course winner who ran respectably when fifth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (7f) on penultimate start in September. Easy to overlook latest run (anticipated start and unseated rider) and she's not dismissed out of hand from this sort of mark. Down in the weights but she hasn't really looked like capitalising; effective on Tapeta.
1	6 1st (6) (9/1 +64%) Fletchers Dream	9 9/1(+64%)	(6) Fletchers Dream 9/1, Ran out a 33/1 winner on debut over C&D last winter for Craig Lidster. Merely ticking over for present stable of late though, sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 10 days ago. Others preferred. C&D win on debut; yet to shine for current stable; may need more help from the handicapper.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 +50%) Profit Street	6 6/1(+50%)	(3) Profit Street 6/1, Dual course winner, the latest over 7f in August. 14/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Ready 7f win in August; quiet since but now gets headgear and a drop in trip.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/2 +18%) Bellagio Man	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(8) Bellagio Man 9/2, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 3 days ago. Drop back down in grade rates a plus now. On a dangerous mark but that has been the case for a while now; others look stronger.
4	1 4th (1) (5/2 -11%) Too Much	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(1) Too Much 5/2, Attracted support tackling a sprint trip for the first time and was much improved on recent efforts when winning 10-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago, drawing clear and eased final 50 yds. Unexposed as a sprinter and one to be interested in again. Easy win over C&D on first run at sprint trip three weeks ago; big player despite 7lb rise.
5th	4 5th (4) (3/1 +57%) Golden Duke	3 3/1(+57%)	(4) Golden Duke 3/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and no great surprise to see a better showing. On losing run but he was a good 3rd here in September; strong pace would suit.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 -10%) Haworth Star	22 22/1(-10%)	(7) Haworth Star 22/1, Left behind a low-key reappearance run when successful over C&D in September. However, looked an awkward ride when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 50 days ago and has since changed hands cheaply last month. Return to this venue can help. C&D win in September franked; below par on turf latest; sold 1,000gns last month.
7th	2 7th (2) (11/1 +21%) Travis	11 11/1(+21%)	(2) Travis 11/1, Has gone the wrong way from a promising start for current stable, seventh of 8 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and handicapper has given him a chance of a return to all-weather has positive effect. Good start for this yard but he's gone off the rails more recently.
8th	10 8th (10) (33/1 -175%) Cable Beach	33 33/1(-175%)	(10) Cable Beach 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 6 in novice at this C&D 38 days ago. Pedigree offers hope there could be more to come now handicapping and he starts out from a lowly base. One to note in the betting for clues. Some promise in three runs on Tapeta; opening mark doesn't look an obvious gift.
9th	9 9th (9) (20/1 -208%) Athollblair Boy	20 20/1(-208%)	(9) Athollblair Boy 20/1, Veteran. 9-time C&D winner. 9/1, not disgraced when fifth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 76 days ago. Returns to this venue from a workable mark and no surprise to see a good showing. 11-time course winner; quiet on turf this summer; back from 11 weeks off; yard run three.

TOO MUCH was successful by just under two lengths over C&D and has been put up 7lb. David Thompson's four-year-old brings the best recent form to the table and looks the one to beat. Bellagio Man finished fourth in a tougher contest than this over track and trip on Tuesday and isn't dismissed off an unchanged rating, while Haworth Star is a player based on his victory at this venue two starts ago.

The free-going TOO MUCH was well served by the drop back in trip when readily landing a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago and, unexposed as a sprinter, she could well be up to defying the assessor and following up. Golden Duke and Bellagio Man are others to consider, as is 9-time C&D winner Athollblair Boy.

Unexposed as a sprinter, TOO MUCH (nap) is fancied to defy a 7lb rise for her easy C&D win three weeks ago.

FIVEFORTWO has run consistently well in his three runs to date and has recent C&D form. Just a 1,000gns foal purchase, he is nonetheless nicely bred and having run well on debut, conceded weight when finishing third to a subsequent Listed winner at Listowel and most recently ran well in another useful maiden here last month. He is rated 1lb inferior to No Return but has a slightly less-exposed profile. No Return is himself able and has recent course form, so should run well. Truth Be Told has been frustrating and is tried in a first-time tongue-tie while North Ocean, by hot sire Wootton Bassett and a half-brother to seven winners, might prove best of Joseph O'Brien's trio of debutants.

FIVEFORTWO boasts a progressive profile and another upward move could be enough for him to land this. Truth Be Told is closely matched with the selection on form and North Ocean is a newcomer who catches the eye on paper.

Clearly highly regarded, TRUTH BE TOLD can put his best foot forward and strike on his AW debut

2	6 2nd (6) (10/11 +39%) Volenti	0.909091 10/11(+39%)	(6) Volenti 10/11, Back on track returned to all-weather in recent weeks and looked as good as ever when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 11 days ago, responding well. Needs considering turned out under a penalty. Done well here for new yard, placed twice over 1m2f before a 1m win; chance under penalty.
3	7 3rd (7) (15/2 +0%) Whatwouldyouknow	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(7) Whatwouldyouknow 15/2, 3-time C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (11/2) 24 days ago. Live each-way claims with a repeat. Conditions to suit and he's run well in this race in the last two years; solid contender.
4	2 4th (2) (8/1 -23%) Angel Of Antrim	8 8/1(-23%)	(2) Angel Of Antrim 8/1, Course winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap (25/1) at Leicester (7f, soft). Off 164 days. First run for yard after leaving Phil McEntee and the betting can prove useful as first runner for new yard. Placed over C&D off this mark in April; first runner for new trainer; interesting.
5th	4 5th (4) (6/1 0%) Martin's Brig	6 6/1(0%)	(4) Martin's Brig 6/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Fifth of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Redcar (8f, good to firm) in July. Returns from a break operating 3 lb above last winning mark, however. Two C&D wins this year; absent for 100 days but couldn't rule out a prominent showing.
6th	8 6th (8) (80/1 -60%) Mr Coco Bean	80 80/1(-60%)	(8) Mr Coco Bean 80/1, Forty six runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 8 in handicap (66/1) at this course (7.1f) 24 days ago. Others make greater appeal for win purposes. On a long losing run and he hasn't threatened to end it this autumn.
7th	3 7th (3) (9/1 -50%) Eyeeye	9 9/1(-50%)	(3) Eyeeye 9/1, Twenty first of 25 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft, 28/1) 34 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Thomas Mullins. Another who can be guided by the betting. Exposed 16-race maiden but makes stable/AW debut off a reduced mark; betting instructive.
8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 -32%) Speed Court	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Speed Court 33/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 33/1) 25 days ago, going in snatches and beaten well over 1f out. Blinkers need to have positive effect dropping back down in trip. Best effort came over C&D last September; not progressed in 2024; new headgear today.
9th	9 9th (9) (200/1 -203%) Turkish Tiger	200 200/1(-203%)	(9) Turkish Tiger 200/1, Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Last of 4 in maiden (66/1) at this course (6f) 7 days ago. Hard to make a case for returned to handicaps back at this longer trip. Exposed as a low-grade maiden; makes no appeal.

Volenti went in by a head over C&D last week and holds an obvious chance, despite his 5lb penalty. However, he might come out second best to WHATWOULDYOUKNOW, who showed a lot more when making the frame over track and trip and has been dropped 1lb. The nine-year-old is now 11lb lower than his last successful mark and can repeat his victory in this race of two years ago. Martin's Brig completes the shortlist.

VOLENTI confirmed the promise of his recent efforts when landing an 11-runner C&D handicap 11 days ago and she could well be the answer turned out under a penalty. Trais Fluors' recent form figures don't inspire confidence but returned to this venue, he needs monitoring having fallen to a very attractive mark. Angel of Antrim and Whatwouldyouknow are others in with a shout.

A trappy race featuring a few dangerous lurkers. As things stand, WHATWOULDYOUKNOW may be the answer off his lowly mark.

7	7 (7) (14/1 -40%) Sayifyouwill	14 14/1(-40%)	(7) Sayifyouwill 14/1, First run since leaving Amanda Perrett when creditable third of 8 in handicap at this course (7f, 10/1) 21 days ago, suited by way race developed. Yard in good form. Considered. 7f specialist who has an excellent record of 7-25 on the AW; third here on stable debut.
1	9 1st (9) (25/1 -79%) Blue Soul	25 25/1(-79%)	(9) Blue Soul 25/1, Twelfth of 18 in handicap at Galway (8.3f, heavy, 20/1) 11 days ago. Stable in good form but others more persuasive. Her mark looks high back on the Polytrack; Pier Pressure looks the stable's best chance.
2	5 2nd (5) (17/2 +29%) Hightimeyouwon	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(5) Hightimeyouwon 17/2, Course winner. 22/1, first run since leaving Jack W. Davison when respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 22 days ago. Yard having good spell. Has to be taken seriously. Good 5th at Southwell last month; extra furlong will suit; 1lb below last winning mark.
3	11 3rd (11) (17/2 -21%) Punk Poet	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(11) Punk Poet 17/2, 5-time C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 7 days ago. No forlorn hope. Won this last year; 3lb lower and has pull in weights with Pier Pressure on latest meeting.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 -18%) Walhaan	10 10/1(-18%)	(2) Walhaan 10/1, 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, below form tenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Back down in trip. Looks fairly treated back on the AW but this trip will be sharp enough for him.
5th	4 5th (4) (14/1 -17%) No More Porter	14 14/1(-17%)	(4) No More Porter 14/1, 22/1, fourteenth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Can give a good account if back on his A-game. Best form on ground with an ease so surface is a worry on AW debut; probably up against it.
6th	6 6th (6) (6/1 -9%) Pier Pressure	6 6/1(-9%)	(6) Pier Pressure 6/1, Course winner. Latest win at Gowran in July. 9/2, very good third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago.

7th	1 7th (1) (11/4 +21%) Blues Emperor	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(1) Blues Emperor 11/4, Won 9-runner handicap at this C&D (4/1) 28 days ago. Trainer going well so he needs considering. Won over C&D off 90 on his second career AW start last month; 9lb worse off at the weights.
8th	8 8th (8) (5/2 +38%) Black Storm	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(8) Black Storm 5/2, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 12-runner maiden (85/40) at this course (7f) 35 days ago, driven out. Makes handicap debut. Should progress. Not taken lightly. Maiden win over 7f here last month; opening mark on the high side but improvement likely.
9th	3 9th (3) (28/1 -250%) San Andreas	28 28/1(-250%)	(3) San Andreas 28/1, 3-time C&D winner. 13¾ lengths fourth of 6 to Walhaan in handicap (11/1) at this course (10.7f) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. Stable in good form so he still merits consideration. Trip stretched him latest; inexperienced pilot but the 6-time course winner could go well.
10th	10 10th (10) (28/1 -100%) Port Louis	28 28/1(-100%)	(10) Port Louis 28/1, Below form fifteenth of 26 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 18/1) 5 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Must improve. Bred to handle the AW and gets this far but needs to take a step forward; 1lb wrong.

BLUES EMPEROR has a big weight, despite his rider's 7lb claim, but remains a fraction unexposed on this surface and might follow up last month's C&D win. A four-time winner, his rating had fallen earlier this year before scoring recently and while now raised 6lb, he was rated 97 last March and this is just his third career run on the all-weather so he might progress. Three-year-old Black Storm is interesting on handicap debut, having won a maiden here last month. That form is nothing special, but he is open to further improvement and has form at a mile. Pier Pressure was third to the selection in last month's race and has place claims, while Sayifyouwill refused to load in a recent race here.

Lots with chances but the vote goes to course-scorer PIER PRESSURE who can race off the same mark as when a very good recent C&D third. The handily-weighted Hightimeyouwon heads the list of dangers with handicap-debutant Black Storm also firmly in the picture. Sayifyouwill and Punk Poet complete the shortlist.

PUNK POET won this race last year from a 3lb higher mark and looks poised to strike again off the back of a good run over C&D

1	9 1st (9) (7/4 +56%) Higher Kingdom	1.75 7/4(+56%)	(9) Higher Kingdom 7/4, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. 12/1, good fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Not taken lightly. Big eyecatcher here in 4th over 7f last month; 29lb below last winning mark; respected.
2	15 2nd (15) (40/1 +20%) Man Is King	40 40/1(+20%)	(15) Man Is King 40/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form ninth of 24 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, soft, 80/1) 17 days ago. RESERVE. Longstanding maiden rated a meagre 39; easily opposed; reserve.
3	5 3rd (5) (20/1 -150%) Feature This	20 20/1(-150%)	(5) Feature This 20/1, Four-time C&D winner. 4/1, 6½ lengths tenth of 13 to Comfort Line in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Claims if able to get back on track. Four-time C&D winner a long way behind Comfort Line latest but could bounce back.
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 -27%) Chica Power	14 14/1(-27%)	(8) Chica Power 14/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, eleventh of 12 in claimer at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and will be a threat if on-song. Course winner but she is much more effective over 7f; tailed off in a claimer here latest.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/2 -83%) Comfort Line	5.5 11/2(-83%)	(1) Comfort Line 11/2, Four-time C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 13-runner handicap (9/2) at this C&D 7 days ago, cosily. Needs considering. Well on top at the finish when scoring here last week and looks a player again.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/3 -11%) Hurricane Helen	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(2) Hurricane Helen 10/3, C&D winner. Latest win at Cork in August. 8/1, respectable third of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft) 34 days ago, faring best of those held up. Has to be taken seriously. Won a pair of C&D handicaps under Colin Keane (booked again) in December and March; player.
7th	13 7th (13) (10/1 -43%) Jalo	10 10/1(-43%)	(13) Jalo 10/1, Course winner. One win from 21 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 17/2, bit below form 5¾ lengths eighth of 13 to Comfort Line in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Visor back on. Dropping down the weights but hasn't looked a winner in waiting; needs to find more.
8th	6 8th (6) (80/1 -142%) Eastern Capital	80 80/1(-142%)	(6) Eastern Capital 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, last of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 77 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving G. M. Lyons. Something to find on form. Dam was a 7f winner on the AW but he needs to find massive improvement on AW/stable debut.
9th	3 9th (3) (22/1 +12%) Hieloray	22 22/1(+12%)	(3) Hieloray 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, first run since leaving J. S. Moore when last of 9 in seller at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm). First run for yard after leaving Peter Niven. Makes handicap debut. New stable had a runaway winner at the Curragh last month so a market watch is advised.
10th	12 10th (12) (33/1 +18%) Ocean Bliss	33 33/1(+18%)	(12) Ocean Bliss 33/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 42 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Poor on debut for this yard and not much better here latest in cheekpieces; best watched.

Respectable twelfth of 25 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft, 50/1) 34 days ago, slowly away. Three-time AW winner, including over C&D, but hasn't won a race since 2021; passed over.

13th	4 13th (4) (25/1 -108%) River Derwent	25 25/1(-108%)	(4) River Derwent 25/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Eighth of 11 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 150/1) on NH debut 44 days ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Others more persuasive. Three AW wins here over 7f; should appreciate a return to this surface and has a good draw.
14th	7 14th (7) (7/1 +22%) Sneddy Eddie	7 7/1(+22%)	(7) Sneddy Eddie 7/1, Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (5/2) at Bellewstown (7.9f, soft) 37 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Mark McNiff. Closely related to Feature This so there's hope he can improve on AW debut for new yard.

HIGHER KINGDOM is quirky but has won five races and returned to form when running well from a career-low rating here last month. His previous win came in March 2023 and while his rating has fallen dramatically since then, he showed promise when staying on over an inadequate distance last month and is now a further 1lb lower reverting to a more suitable distance. Chica Power was narrowly behind the selection in that recent race but was well held subsequently, while seven-time winner Hurricane Helen has been running well, although has yet to win with a rating higher than 60. In-form Comfort Line is already a four-time C&D winner so should show his new rider around.

It's been a while since HIGHER KINGDOM last hit the target, but he has slipped to a very dangerous mark as a result and left the strong impression that his turn may be near when a close fourth over 7f here three weeks ago. Stepping back up to a mile will be in his favour and he gets the nod ahead of Hurricane Helen and last week's C&D winner Comfort Line. Cases can also be made for Feature This and Sneddy Eddie.

A wide-open contest can go the way of HURRICANE HELEN, who has a very good record when she is partnered with Colin Keane

Tongue strap and cheekpieces back on. Others preferred. Godolphin castoff; Colin Keane aboard again on AW debut but needs to find improvement.
2	10 2nd (10) (22/1 -57%) Manhattan Dandy	22 22/1(-57%)	(10) Manhattan Dandy 22/1, Fourteenth of 15 in handicap (9/1) at Roscommon (7.5f, soft) 25 days ago. Others make more appeal. Record of 0-14 on the AW; excuses from a high draw at Roscommon but opposable here.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/2 +8%) Morning Approach	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(3) Morning Approach 11/2, C&D winner. Below form sixteenth of 27 in handicap (50/1) at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago, slowly away. Looks competitive on form. C&D winner from 1lb lower around this time last year; Billy Lee back aboard is a big plus.

5th	9 5th (9) (8/1 -167%) Tara Power	8 8/1(-167%)	(9) Tara Power 8/1, C&D winner. One win from 37 Flat runs. Thirty runs since last win in 2021. 22/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, soft) 37 days ago. Merits consideration. Hit the line well when 3rd at Bellewstown and has a squeak if he can build on that.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/4 +77%) Daonethatgotaway	2.75 11/4(+77%)	(6) Daonethatgotaway 11/4, Winner at Listowel in June. Bit below form tenth of 27 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 80/1) 22 days ago.

7th	2 7th (2) (20/1 +0%) The Bog Bank	20 20/1(+0%)	(2) The Bog Bank 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Bellewstown in August. Tenth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 9 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good. Dual C&D winner; rider went close here last week so her 10lb claim could prove valuable.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 -52%) Accwest	50 50/1(-52%)	(7) Accwest 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 10 in maiden at Laytown (7f) 53 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Gerard Keane. Makes handicap debut. Well beaten in four maidens and failed to beat a single rival home on the beach at Laytown.

11th	1 11th (1) (8/1 -100%) Storm Eric	8 8/1(-100%)	(1) Storm Eric 8/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Both wins have come here over 7f and he came into form last winter; no forlorn hope.
12th	12 12th (12) (40/1 -21%) Deuteronomy	40 40/1(-21%)	(12) Deuteronomy 40/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Eleventh of 16 in handicap (50/1) at Cork (8f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and he's readily passed over. Well beaten on return from a 125-day break at Cork last month; much to prove on AW debut.
13th	4 13th (4) (20/1 -100%) Profit Surge	20 20/1(-100%)	(4) Profit Surge 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at this C&D 9 days ago. Hood back on. Each-way shout. Cut out most of the running when 6th over C&D on handicap debut; wide draw a concern.

Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Never figured on three starts on the Polytrack previously and is best watched at present.

EXCEEDING is a 16-race three-year-old maiden, but seemed to find his level from today's similarly low rating when running well over C&D in late September. Initially rated 75, he has clearly been disappointing but should get involved again under his same 10lb claimer and he contests an ordinary handicap. Morning Approach is a slow starter, but has won three races and has a good record around here. She was probably unsuited by easy ground at the Curragh recently, but had shown form this summer and can also compete. Tara Power ran well at Bellewstown recently, but has won just once from 37 runs.

The vote goes to STORM ERIC, who has slipped to an attractive mark and should come on for his spin here a fortnight ago when returning from a four-month break. Exceeding is still a maiden following 16 attempts but produced arguably his best effort yet when when third over C&D last time and he will be a threat if able to build on that. Tara Power is third choice.

Another minefield to close out the card but THE BOG BANK will take all the beating if she's close to her best under a 10lb claimer

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.
