KICK UP A STORM arrives here on the back of two victories in recent weeks and Paul Nicholls' gelding is hard to oppose under a 7lb penalty for his success over 2m7f at Exeter 11 days ago. That said, this is a competitive event and Prince De Juilley is another recent winner who has to be considered. On Springs edges out Idefix De Ciergues and Jeteye to be best of the rest.

KICK UP A STORM is going the right way for Paul Nicholls and a 7 lb penalty may not prevent him completing a hat-trick. The presence of Callum Pritchard in the saddle makes On Springs a must for the shortlist. Recent Chepstow chase winner Idefix de Ciergues and the returning Rivers Corner are others likely to have a say.

This looks very open. MINNIEMUM returns from a break with her yard going well and this late developer gets the nod.
Class & Speed Card

INDIVIDUALISTE stayed on to finish fourth in a similar race at Gowran last time and looks capable of striking at this level. His jumping was a bit hit-and-miss then, but he caught the eye behind Noble Talent and may appreciate stepping up in trip. Crossing The Bar has run a couple of solid races since joining Cian Collins and he may be able to do better now back over fences, having been well beaten in his two chase starts in England. Oneforgonzo won twice over hurdles earlier in the year and is one to note on his return to action.

INDIVIDUALISTE ran his best race over fences when fourth at Gowran last time and a repeat of that form could be good enough here. Crossing The Bar has been in good form over hurdles for his new yard this autumn and will be a threat if he can reproduce that form now back chasing. Oneforgonzo may prove best of the remainder.

The lightly raced ONEFORGONZO looked progressive over hurdles last season and could improve again sent chasing
Class & Speed Card

DALILEO returned to form with a taking success at Ayr last time out and a 6lb rise for that could prove lenient as he attempts to follow up. Lisa Harrison's charge gets the vote ahead of Theirshegoes and Achnamara, who was narrowly denied at a big price at Sedgefield on his latest start. Looking Splendid and Younowhatimean are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Preference is for ACHNAMARA, who was in good form on the level this summer and almost broke his duck over hurdles at Sedgefield earlier this month. He still looks nicely treated. Dalileo and Theirshegoes should also go well.

The vote goes to ACHNAMARA, who is lightly raced over hurdles and had a near miss behind a major improver at Sedgefield 15 days ago.
Class & Speed Card

REGENT'S STROLL put in an impressive display when making it two out of two in bumpers at this venue in March and he now makes his first start over hurdles. The son of Walk In The Park is likely to have any amount of improvement to come and will prove very hard to beat. 90,000-euro purchase Ferando is related to plenty of winners and it would be no surprise to see him get involved on his debut, while Good And Clever, who finished third in the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree, is another with significant potential.

Traditionally a strong maiden hurdle and this looks another good renewal. REGENT'S STROLL gets the nod to make a successful start to his hurdle career back at the scene of his win in a valuable bumper in the spring. Good And Clever also brings good bumper form and rates a threat for in-form Warren Greatrex. Nicky Henderson has introduced a few top notchers in this over the years so market support for his newcomer Ferando would also bring him into the reckoning.

Potentially smart REGENT'S STROLL is taken to remain unbeaten. Good And Clever is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

ADAAY FOREVER displayed plenty of promise when filling third place at Bangor a couple of weeks ago and Alan King's charge could be hard to stop if finding some improvement for that experience. Aotano was fifth in the same event and, while it is hard to see him reversing the form, the son of Soldier Hollow could prove to be the main threat. The rest all have some questions to answer, but any market support for Smart Decision would have to be noted.

Following a luckless mishap on debut, ADAAY FOREVER did show ability when third in similar company at Bangor 16 days ago and he shades the vote to build on that and come out on top. Donald McCain trained-pair Wallquatari and Aotano look the chief dangers.

A weak junior hurdle. ADAAY FOREVER looked no natural at Bangor but still got himself into contention when it mattered.
Class & Speed Card

BIRDSANDTHEBEES was value for a bit more than her winning margin at Clonmel last month and may be able to go in again here off a 10lb higher mark. The Walk In The Park mare was making just her second outing over fences then and may be better suited by the larger obstacles. That form looks solid, with the second and third placed again since. Jack Holiday was all out to make use of a lower hurdles mark at Limerick 10 days ago. He's probably a better horse over a fence but could be on a high enough rating. Sea Road Fill ran a solid race in his first handicap over fences at Naas and could be place material again.

BIRDSANDTHEBEES confirmed the promise of her chase debut effort when running out a good winner at Clonmel 5 weeks ago. That performance hasn't escaped the attentions of the assessor but open to further progress, she may well be up to the task. Recent hurdles scorer Jack Holiday and Sea Road Fill are others to consider. King Ferdinand also makes each-way appeal.

Slight preference is for SEA ROAD FILL, dropped in grade after a Naas third. Birdsandthebees is a big danger.
Class & Speed Card

A talented sort on the level and rated as high as 107 earlier this year, WISE EAGLE makes his first start over hurdles since finishing runner-up at Catterick in December 2020. The seven-year-old has won here on the Flat four times and the ground should be in his favour as he looks to see off the likes of hurdling debutant Clan Chieftain and Sea Legend, who has undergone wind surgery since his jumping bow.

SEA LEGEND seems likely to build on his opening effort in this sphere at Sedgefield, especially with this slightly sharper test promising to suit. He gets the nod ahead of Wise Eagle, who should have more to offer making a belated return to hurdling, while Susiesparkle is another who could go well if taking to this new discipline.

This can go to the Smart Flat performer WISE EAGLE, who should be hard to beat back over hurdles. Sea Legend is the main danger.
Class & Speed Card

Idy Wood made a successful start over fences at Kempton last month and he should remain competitive, despite a 6lb higher mark. However, the vote goes to KALIF DU BERLAIS, who fell when having every chance on his debut over fences at Carlisle last time. Paul Nicholls' four-year-old could put that mishap well behind him to score on his handicap debut. Brookie is another to consider after his victory at Sandown.

KALIF DU BERLAIS is in good hands and had jumped fine until coming down 4 out on his chase debut at Carlisle earlier this month. He gets the nod in what should prove an informative contest. Asta La Pasta and Personal Ambition head the list of dangers.

Kalif Du Berlais, who had a bad tumble at Carlisle, is taken on with PERSONAL AMBITION. Second choice is Idy Wood.
Class & Speed Card

WICKED THOUGHTS was a beaten favourite when second on his hurdling debut over 3m at Southwell last month, but the drop in trip and first-time application of cheekpieces could see the five-year-old go one better here. Whatsyourproblem and Newton Tornado are others with hurdling experience to consider, while Moon Rocket cost 92,000 pounds after winning an Irish point in April and has to be noted on his Rules bow.

A chance is taken on Kim Bailey Irish point recruit MOON ROCKET, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Wicked Thoughts should step up on his opening hurdle run and is second choice ahead of Malicash, who is better than he showed at Aintree last time.

Last time was a bit underwhelming, but MALICASH had previously divided good horses at Carlisle and that form has been franked.
Class & Speed Card

Point-to-point winner C'EST TA CHANCE was well touted before his track debut last season, when losing out narrowly to William Munny at Navan in January. He made little impression at Cheltenham subsequently before getting turned over in an Ayr bumper when a short price. Better will be expected over hurdles this season. Relieved Of Duties is another winning pointer who may improve from his run in a Clonmel bumper just over three weeks ago. He was behind Bold Passion then, when the pair filled the places behind Mic Drop. Peter Fahey's charge is another for the shortlist.

The market should prove a good guide here but Willie Mullins' points scorer C'EST TA CHANCE is taken to build on his fairly useful bumper form and make a winning start in this sphere. Fellow hurdling newcomer Relieved of Duties also has winning point form to his name and could emerge as the main danger ahead of form pick Artic Lane.

A point winner who went close in the first of three bumper outings last season, C'EST TA CHANCE is probably a cut above these rivals
Class & Speed Card

This can go the way of YOU SOME GIRL, who continues to go from strength to strength after comfortable successes at Newcastle and Catterick. She escapes a penalty for the most recent of those so is 8lb well-in, and it may be that Maura Jeanne gives her the most to think about because she beat Rebecca Menzies' mare at Kelso last month. Lady Hamilton and Time Was are both maidens under Rules, but still have the form to get involved in proceedings.

YOU SOME GIRL hasn't always looked entirely straightforward, but is thriving at present and is taken to complete the hat-trick. Reel Her In has been progressing well on the Flat this autumn and surely has more to offer now returned to hurdling, with Maura Jeanne completing the shortlist.

It's hard to side against the rejuvenated YOU SOME GIRL who escapes a penalty for her easy Catterick win and can complete a hat-trick
Class & Speed Card

The Gredley family have a stranglehold in this contest with their pair AMBIENTE AMIGO and Opec, with a slight preference for the former. The daughter of Postponed was a good performer on the Flat and put that experience to good use when scoring on her hurdles bow at Newcastle last month. As for the latter, she put her blunder on debut well behind her when securing a double last month and has to be considered. Flowering is another to note.

MISS ALTEA BLUE boasts the best form and has joined Paul Nicholls since her latest solid effort at Auteuil. She is taken to make a successful UK debut. James Owen's Opec and Ambiente Amigo may provide the chief threat.

Several runners are interesting, particularly MISS ALTEA BLUE whose French form looks solid. Ambiente Amigo is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Billy Boi Blue appreciated the step up to 3m when scoring in good style over hurdles at Wetherby last month and provided he can transfer that form to fences, the seven-year-old ought to go close. However, it may pay to side with IOUPY COLLONGES, who went in over 2m4f at Perth in April and should have no issues over this longer trip. Freddie Gingell helps negate his 3lb rise with his claim and he looks the one to beat. Rock My Way can improve for his recent reappearance at Newbury and looks feasibly treated on his best form.

Interesting fare despite the small field and it could be worth siding with ROCK MY WAY. He arrives on the back of a respectable third on return at Newbury 3 weeks ago and, with his rider taking off a very handy 7 lb, he looks to hold solid claims. Billy Boi Blue built up a good record over hurdles and is feared most, ahead of the returning Ioupy Collonges who has definite potential himself to rate higher still over fences this season.

Former Grade 2-winning hurdler ROCK MY WAY has run well in all four chases and this looks easier than Newbury last time.
Class & Speed Card

WALK OF THE ROSES won a bumper in Britain and had some solid placed form over hurdles. She could be on a nice mark on her first outing for Jimmy Mangan in what doesn't look like a particularly strong heat. Destivelle ended up a moderate enough third at Limerick last time, but has been running some solid enough races and she is entitled to play a big part now in this company. Love Like This was outclassed in novice company last time, but had some decent enough runs in maidens and may be able to get a bit closer now at this level.

It might be worth taking a chance on bumper winner WALK OF THE ROSES taking a step forward now handicapping for the first time for a new stable. Del Girl would likely be a big threat if back to the form she showed when going close at Punchestown in June. Destivelle also makes the shortlist having been placed in similar company on 5 of her last 7 hurdle starts.

Many with chances in an open affair but WALK OF THE ROSES has to be of interest on her Irish and stable debut
Class & Speed Card

A winner over fences at Hexham in June before following up over the same C&D in September, HAPY LA VIE was able to exploit a lower mark to strike over hurdles at Ayr last month. The progressive seven-year-old is 8lb higher returned to the larger obstacles, but he is unlikely to have reached the ceiling of his ability just yet and is taken to go in again. Return Fire has less to prove than the remainder having been on target at Hexham three weeks ago and is considered the main threat. Dr Shirocco completes the shortlist.

RETURN FIRE and Hapy La Vie bring the most compelling claims to the table on the back of recent victories, with the former narrowly selected to come out on top in that dual and continue the good form of the Lucinda Russell yard. Dr Shirocco may emerge best of the remainder.

Return Fire is back in form but HAPY LA VIE (nap) was a good hurdle winner recently and can do better yet over fences.
Class & Speed Card

Having enjoyed a walkover on what was set to be his chase bow at Exeter earlier in the month, last season's Challow Hurdle winner Captain Teague is high on the shortlist. Paul Nicholls' charge will have no issues with the step back in distance, but THE JUKEBOX MAN is narrowly preferred. The son of Ask hit the frame on all three hurdle outings in Grade 1 company during his last campaign, including when just caught in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham, and there is no reason why he won't prove a leading light now tackling fences. Johnnywho and Masaccio are other likeable types who both made winning starts to life over the larger obstacles.

In what looks a cracking contest, preference is for JOHNNYWHO, who won with the minimum of fuss on his first start in this sphere at Carlisle last month and remains with bags of potential. Chase debutants Captain Teague and The Jukebox Man are feared most.

This race features an interesting rematch between some of last season's Challow runners. CAPTAIN TEAGUE is narrowly preferred.
Class & Speed Card

MOLE COURT produced a better effort to finish third at Sandown earlier in the month and he goes off an unchanged mark. With Callum Pritchard claiming a handy 7lb this time around, he gets the vote to return to winning ways. Bobhopeornohope failed to fire at Exeter last month, but he was dropped 5lb for that effort and lurks on an appealing mark. Of the remainder, Kansas City Star makes the most appeal.

Ben Pauling's MOLE COURT looks the way to go here on the back of his resurgent Sandown third now his usual cheekpieces are refitted. 2022-winner Mackenberg could emerge as the main danger, with Onemorefortheroad also worthy of consideration.

The answer to this tricky puzzle might be MOLE COURT, who ran quite well at Sandown this month and remains on a workable mark.
Class & Speed Card

INN AT THE PARK was slightly disappointing on the last of his three bumper runs last season, but should be good enough to make a winning start over timber here. The Walk In The Park gelding had been third on his first two outings and had been beaten less than a length by Cheltenham fourth Sounds Victorious at Punchestown previously. Smart Flat performer Magellan Strait, fifth in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket last month, is an interesting rival. He has been placed in three maiden hurdles without showing the same level of ability as on the Flat. Bossofthebrownies had two nice placed efforts last term and is one to note on his return.

MACHISMO shaped well when a debut hurdling second at Sligo and can build on it to get off the mark. Newcomer Inn At The Park is in top hands and can also have a say, with Bossofthebrownies also in the mix despite his absence.

INN AT THE PARK has some smart bumper form to his name and looks the most likely winner here on his hurdling debut
Class & Speed Card

Starlyte comfortably accounted for Santa Clarita at Kelso before going on to record an unlikely win at Newcastle. Santa Clarita is 6lb better off, despite racing from 3lb out of the handicap, but that might not be enough to reverse the form. That said, the vote goes to ALL THE GLORY, who has largely struggled since landing a valuable prize at Newbury in March, but this is far easier than the races she has contested and she may be capable of bouncing back. Ben Macey takes a welcome 10lb off her back too, and that can only be viewed as an added positive.

This is a significant drop in class for the O'Neill's ALL THE GLORY who may well have just needed her first start for 4 months over further at Wincanton 3 weeks ago and she appeals as being on an exploitable mark. Thriving mare Starlyte is an obvious threat in her hat-trick bid. Multiple course-scorer Sunday Soldier and Simply Red are others to bear in mind.

It could be worth siding with ALL THE GLORY to build on the promise of her reapearance run and capitalise on a good mark.
Class & Speed Card

Having likely found the ground quicker than ideal when runner-up in a Premier Handicap at Wetherby 28 days ago, compensation could be in the offing for C&D winner GALOP DE CHASSE. Venetia Williams' string are in rude health at present and she may have another winner on her hands, at the main expense of Heltenham. The seven-year-old is unbeaten in three outings over today's track and trip and he isn't taken lightly returning to this venue. Le Patron and Golden Son are others to consider.

GALOP DE CHASSE made a promising return from an absence when runner-up at Wetherby and this C&D scorer can resume winning ways at the chief expense of Dan Skelton's returning Heltenham. La Domaniale and Sir Psycho also need factoring into this open handicap.

If HELTENHAM is ever going to defy his current mark, then it's likely to be at Newbury. Galop De Chasse is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

NO RISK WITH LOU posted a career best when making a winning seasonal debut in a first-time hood at Huntingdon earlier this month and a 4lb rise could prove on the lenient side for Alex Hales' gelding. Davidoc offered plenty to work with on his second-placed chase bow at Southwell a fortnight ago and the six-year-old is feared most, ahead of Alien Storm.

A tight-knit handicap in which preference is for Ben Pauling's DAVIDOC who is fancied to build on his promising Southwell second and open his account in this sphere. Alien Storm can have a say too on the back of his good Kempton third, with Grain d'Oudairies and Snowy Clouds both in the picture too.

This can go to NOBLE ANTHEM (nap), who was a stylish winner at Sedgefield last month & could still have a lot more to offer over fences.
Class & Speed Card

DELIAS PET may be able to pick up the winning thread again here. The Stowaway mare came good with victories at Fairyhouse and Gowran earlier in the month and the ones in front may just have got away from her on two starts since. She has been held up in her races and stayed on well when third here eight days ago without reaching the front pair. Ad Caelum ran well in maiden company when third to Grooveykindoflove here eight days ago and is interesting now off a mark of 95. She is 4lb better off with runner-up Fillusin from that race.

FILLUSIN is lightly raced over timber and makes fair appeal on her handicap debut. Delias Pet and Ad Caelum look the likeliest dangers.

The locally-trained DELIAS PET was arguably given too much to do here last time. She is an in-form mare and makes plenty of appeal
Class & Speed Card

DREAM JET recorded his second victory over fences when returning the convincing winner at Hexham and Brian Ellison's charge may prove difficult to beat raised only 4lb. Dance Thief went close at Ayr on his reappearance and rates a threat if taking to the larger obstacles, while Hold Onto The Line won off a higher mark over C&D back in January and is not easily overlooked.

DREAM JET has made the frame on his last 7 starts, putting up a career-best round of jumping when scoring at Hexham on his latest outing, so he is taken to record a third win of the season. He can get the better of Augharue, who is on a handy mark with cheekpieces now on first time, while Hold Onto The Line is also respected back at this course.

This can go to DREAM JET, who resumed his progress with a comfortable win at Hexham three weeks ago. Dance Thief is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

A commanding winner of the Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree in April, there are no stamina doubts concerning STRONG LEADER and Olly Murphy's gelding is fancied to carry a 6lb penalty to make a successful reappearance. Langer Dan proved he was able to compete at the highest level when finishing a narrow third in the Aintree Hurdle. The dual Coral Cup hero is 2lb clear on official ratings so, in receipt of weight, he is a real threat. Monmiral can chase the pair home.

STRONG LEADER took his form up a notch when stepped up to 3m in the spring and can prove too strong for Langer Dan, who has stamina to prove racing beyond 2m5f for the first time.

Liverpool Hurdle winner STRONG LEADER is a strong prospect in the staying division this term and preferred ahead of Langer Dan.
Class & Speed Card

HIERO SPORT ran out a ready winner on his reappearance at Fakenham last month and another bold showing looks likely. A 6lb rise looks workable for the seven-year-old and this appears a suitable opportunity for him to follow up. Fellow in-form rival Royal Deeside is a potential improver up in distance and Alan King's gelding may serve the most resistance to the selection, while market support for stable debutant Glengolly off a falling mark would be interesting.

Plenty in with chances but the suggestion is HIERO SPORT, who is lightly raced for his age and found some improvement on his previous hurdles efforts to get off the mark at Fakenham last month. He can make light of a 6 lb rise at the expense of Let's Go Joe, who returned to form on his second run back from a break when runner-up at Ayr recently. Royal Deeside and Glengolly can fight out minor honours in a tricky finale to solve.

Hiero Sport is respected but LET'S GO JOE ran a big race in defeat at Ayr last time and still looks well treated after a 3lb rise.
Class & Speed Card

Tiernan Power Roche is proving very good value for his 7lb claim and he can bag another winner for Philip Rothwell on DOWN AROUND. The Sea Moon gelding ran a big race at Fairyhouse earlier in the month when losing out by half a length to Portarlington. The winner went on to score over fences at Tramore on Tuesday. Phoenix Cowboy was five and a half lengths behind the selection last time and may be able to get a bit closer now. He shaped nicely then on his first outing for Mick Winters. Tasmanian Girl was second at a massive price last time and has a chance if repeating that showing.

PHOENIX COWBOY has been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper and shaped well on his debut for new connections at Fairyhouse earlier this month. He gets the nod in the finale. Jetaway To Getaway and Down Around can also make their presence felt.

WILLYWAMPUS (nap) was heavily supported in the betting when an eyecatching fourth here after a break and could be poised to strike
Class & Speed Card

Rebecca Menzies' yard remains in fine form and SWINGINGONTHESTEEL is taken to make a bold bid. The four-year-old was no match for Count Of Vendome at Sedgefield on his debut under Rules but that form looks stronger in hindsight, with the winner subsequently placing in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham. Loch Brandy also found one too good at Sedgefield last month and a good effort seems assured, with Charlie Maggs' 7lb allowance in her favour. Kool Raoul is a newcomer to note.

SWINGINGONTHESTEEL showed plenty of ability on Rules debut when runner-up in a Sedgefield bumper last month, beaten only by a useful prospect, and he can build on that effort to go one better. Loch Brandy also finished second at Sedgefield on her return and is feared most, with Kool Raoul the pick of the debutants.

Loch Brandy and SWINGINGONTHESTEEL both finished runner-up at Sedgefield last time and slight preference is for the latter.
Class & Speed Card

Largy Poet signed off last season with a narrow second at Huntingdon and he must be respected off 5lb higher on his return, while recent Ffos Las winner Woodie Flash and the class-dropping Hardy Boy are two others to be interested in. However, a chance can be taken on CHANTRY HOUSE. The former high-class chaser was last seen finishing a creditable fifth in a Listed handicap hurdle at Punchestown in May and if able to build on that, he is handicapped to go very close.

WOODIE FLASH impressed when making a successful reappearance at Ffos Las and with that form having been well advertised since he can make light of a 7 lb hike in the weights. Madaket ended last term in fine form and can have a say on his return with his yard among the winners. Astronomic View, Hardy Boy and Annsam all command respect too in this competitive handicap.

A summer break looked to have done WOODIE FLASH (nap) good at Ffos Las recently and he looks set fair to go on from that.
Class & Speed Card

A drop in trip and the application of blinkers may work for TAM LIN, who looks to be racing off a nice weight in this. The Starspangledbanner gelding hinted at ability in maidens, particularly when third at Naas last month. He faded late on on his handicap debut here a fortnight ago and faces an easier task now. William F Browne is top rated in the field off his mark of 78 but has to give just over a stone to the selection, who is rated 10lb inferior. Your Call ran a big race when second in a nursery here a fortnight ago and is another that has to be considered.

WILLIAM F BROWNE wasn't seen to best effect at Naas last time and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways. Kitty Bear is also weighted to have a big say and next on the list ahead of Midnight Stagger and Your Call.

A chance is taken on ZE DO ASFALTO who shaped with promise on debut when making his challenge away from the favoured near rail
Class & Speed Card

A trappy-looking race with a few of these having had plenty of chances. SACRED OATH ran well on her first visit here a fortnight ago and may be able to get her head in front now. The Lope De Vega filly chased home Genoah over the extended 1m2f and dropping back in may suit, having been collared in the closing stages then. Ina Mina is top rated off her mark of 77 and looks an obvious danger. She has been placed five times since joining Ken Condon and makes her all-weather debut. Quatrain is another with some solid placed form that has to come into calculations.

If SACRED OATH can repeat the form she showed when runner-up on her AW debut here a fortnight ago she might prove the answer for the Dermot Weld team. Ina Mina, the mount of Billy Lee, Quatrain and Touch The Sound are others likely to be on the premises in an open-looking maiden.

Preference is for SACRED OATH who bounced back to form over further last time and gives the impression a mile may suit
Class & Speed Card

LUNIGIANA should prove hard to beat here if running anywhere near her mark of 82. The Willie McCreery-trained filly has run up a bit of a frustrating sequence of placed efforts but has some solid form in the book. She got a bump at the start last time in Navan, before staying on strongly close home, and this looks like a prime opportunity to open her account. Moonhall Lass is the danger according to the handicapper. She was no match for easy winner Eclairage here last week. Aviatrice has been runner-up on her last couple of outings here and is another for the shortlist.

Preference is for LUNIGIANA, who was unlucky not to win through no fault of her own when a fast-finishing fourth at Navan just over 5 weeks ago (left poorly placed after hampered start). Provided she takes to the all-weather, she can get the better of Moonhall Lass, who was runner-up in a nursery here last week. Aviatrice and Gold Daydream are another couple capable of getting involved, too.

This looks an ideal opportunity for LUNIGIANA, whose overall form is a cut above these and she looks hard to oppose
Class & Speed Card

ELEGANT MADAME has had a little break since chasing home easy winner Bucaneer's Spirit at Cork in mid-August and deserves to get her head in front. The Inns Of Court filly has been placed on her last three outings, including a good run here in July when second to Tokenomics. Dropping back to 6f now may do the trick. Never Shout Never ran a big race when second at the Curragh earlier in the month and could be a danger now, trying the all-weather for the first time. Sporting Hero won over course and distance on his penultimate outing before a solid effort to finish third over five here 16 days ago. He is entitled to run well again.

Unsurprisingly plenty in with a shout and it could be worth siding with ELEGANT MADAME. Knocking firmly on the door over longer trips this summer, she's completely unexposed as a sprinter and her mark looks an exploitable one. Sporting Hero back up at 6f, Winemaker back on this surface and Never Shout Never are others to consider. Market confidence behind Volatile Analyst would also look significant.

After a good fourth from 7lb out of the handicap in a vastly better contest here on Wednesday, JAMES HENRY is hard to overlook
Class & Speed Card

ASCENDING showed some useful placed form over hurdles last season, including when third to No Flies On Him in a 28-runner Leopardstown maiden last Christmas and has filled the runner-up spot on both outings since returning to the Flat including behind Smooth Tom over 1m4f at the Curragh last month. Henry de Bromhead holds a strong hand as he's also represented by Miss Paloma who has gained both of her previous wins at this venue including over 1m4f in July. She's been placed on her latest two starts and is worth a try over this longer trip. Persian Bliss made a successful debut over an extended 1m2f here last month but has disappointed since and this trip is a step into the unknown.

ASCENDING has run well in amateur contests the last twice and looks the safest option in a tricky-looking contest. Persian Bliss and Miss Paloma should also go well.

The step up to 2m should hold no fears for ASCENDING and a reproduction of his last Curragh run should be good enough
Class & Speed Card

CROSS BORDER gets the vote to add to a maiden win over C&D earlier this year. The selection can be a frustrating sort as he needs to be held up for a late run and was having his second run for Gavin Cromwell when just failing to collect over 6f here last Friday with Senado Square, winner of this corresponding race last year, over four lengths behind. Realtin Fantasy showed good pace throughout when scoring here 12 months ago and should be spot on after some recent runs, while Livingston Range had a number of these rivals behind when third to My Girl Sioux here earlier this month.

LIVINGSTON RANGE took a step back in the right direction from an easing mark when third over C&D 4 weeks ago and could be the way to go in re-fitted blinkers. Sam's Xpress has tumbled in the weights and was the subject of a gamble when fading behind the selection in that same race, but that was his first start for 12 weeks. Half Nutz is another to consider having a rare go at 5f.

Coming here in form is top-weight CROSS BORDER(nap), who has lots of tactical speed and the drop back to 5f should not be an issue
Class & Speed Card

L'IMMORTALE showed much improved form when switched to this surface and fitted with a tongue tie last time finishing third to Trishuli River over C&D. The selection had Numidia and Omakase behind in fourth and fifth respectively and has solid claims if backing up that effort. Barretstown is an obvious threat having been raised just 4lb after recording a third course win earlier this month, while Designer Cailin was placed on her penultimate start over 1m2f at Navan but lost any chance at the start here last time. Ranko Express won at Gowran last year for Andy Slattery and now returns to the Killenaule trainer after a period with Kevin Coleman.

OMAKASE shaped really well here a fortnight ago, unable to sustain a big move from off the pace, and she could be the way to go. L'Immortale and Numidia, third and fourth in that same race, should be on the premises again.

After an encouraging C&D 3rd here last month with new headgear, L'IMMORTALE may be worth chancing from the basement mark
Class & Speed Card

JAWHARY won over 1m2f for Owen Burrows and has edged down to an attractive mark after joining Ado McGuinness this year. The selection has gone close on his latest two starts over C&D including when losing out to Trishuli River in a very tight finish. There is little to choose between Wishes And Dreams and Gardone on running behind The World's Astage here last week, while Warazam likes to race up with the pace and beat all bar Lord Talbot here last time with Aljadel and Knock Flyer both well behind. A Daughtersdelight has been tried over a variety of trips and can't be lightly discounted.

TRISHULI RIVER probably had a bit more in hand than the short-head margin over Jawhary when winning here a fortnight ago and she can confirm that form after a 4 lb rise. Warazam and Wishes And Dreams are also respected.

This can go the way of C&D winner TRISHULI RIVER who is up 4lb for his latest win but she's unexposed and Hassett claims 5lb
Ths is the racecard key.
