Nubough

9/4(+55%)

(12) Gintini 40/1, Poor maiden. 28/1, last of 11 in handicap at this course (1m, AW) 33 days ago.
Unplaced all 11 starts; this trip more suitable but opposed all the same.
LTO Selection:

11:37 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

The in-form Nubough is likely to be competitive but, given that he hasn't won since December 2021, the seven-year-old carries plenty of risk. With that in mind, HERSILIA may be worth chancing now she reverts to the all-weather on the back of a respectable second at Ffos Las in September. Unexposed over the trip, the selection wasn't beaten far that day and may do better with her stamina now proven. White Mist was fifth in that race but may get closer with Kaiya Fraser's 5lb claim a useful asset.

HERSILIA looked suited by the step up to 7f when second at Ffos Las last time and is taken to go one better now. White Mist, Nubough and Luxy Lou can give Charlie Hills's filly most to do.

The vote goes to topweight NUBOUGH who has run well the last twice and drops into a 0-55 on the AW for the very first time.

1
1st (3) Imagine (9/4 +44%)
Imagine

9/4(+44%)
(3) Imagine 9/4, Useful hurdler. Respectable third of 9 in minor event hurdle (9/4) at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft) when last seen in April. Will surely be in the mix, provided his jumping passes the test now switched to fences.
One of the standout contenders on hurdling exploits; has chasers in the family.

Inothewayurthinkin

11/4(+31%)
(4) Inothewayurthinkin 11/4, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Fourth of 5 in a Grade 1 novice hurdle at Punchestown on latest start in April. Mark Walsh's pick of several JP McManus-owned runners in this and bold show likely if taking to fences at the first attempt.
Not out of his depth in Grade 1s hurdles and is bred to be a superior chaser.
3
3rd (9) Pinkerton (5/1 +9%)
Pinkerton

5/1(+9%)
(9) Pinkerton 5/1, Useful hurdler. 28/1, bit below form tenth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Makes chase debut and claims if reproducing pick of his hurdles form.

Sandor Clegane

Stayed 3m over hurdles and to a high standard; form at 2m wasn't too shoddy.
5th
5th (12) Verdant Place (40/1 +39%)
Verdant Place

(12) Verdant Place 40/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 10/1, fifth of 8 in novice chase at this course (21.5f, soft) on debut over fences 31 days ago. Down in trip. Likely to find a few of these too strong.
Useful hurdler but unlikely to be troubling the best of these, especially at this trip.

Path D'oroux

Good hurdler but has finished tailed off in two Graded chases.
7th
7th (13) Kates Hill (100/1 +0%)
Kates Hill

100/1(+0%)
(13) Kates Hill 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 11/2, first run since leaving P. E. Collins when creditable third of 18 in novice hurdle at Cork (19f, good to soft). Off 6 months ahead of this chase debut.
Hard to fancy in this company on her hurdling form; will want further in time.
8th

Neveradullmoment

20/1(-43%)
(7) Neveradullmoment 20/1, Promising sort. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Second of 8 in novice chase at Galway (18.5f, heavy, 5/1) on debut over fences 35 days ago, finishing with running left. Open to improvement in this sphere.
Wouldn't beat a few of these over hurdles but he has the benefit of chasing experience.
9th
9th (6) Mc Alpine (200/1 -100%)
Mc Alpine

(6) Mc Alpine 200/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Unseated rider in novice chase at Cork (17.6f, good to soft, 28/1) on debut over fences 23 days ago. Readily passed over.
Inferior hurdler to some of these; unseated mid-race when 28-1 for a novice chase at Cork.

10th (5) Invictus Machin (100/1 -52%)
Invictus Machin

Modest hurdler who finished a remote eighth on his switch to chasing at Downpatrick.
LTO Selection:

11:53 Fairyhouse Maiden Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

A hot contest that should produce plenty of winners in the coming months. Neveradullmoment's second at Galway is the best chase form on show but this is likely to go to a first-timer over fences and INOTHEWAYURTHINKIN is a tentative selection. He won his first two hurdle races over this trip last season and was a creditable fourth in a Grade 1 over 2m4f at Naas. Gavin Cromwell's charge is related to useful chasers. Imagine, who has won first time out in the last two campaigns, was only beaten half a length by the selection at Gowran a little under a year ago and went on to finish a creditable fifth in the Martin Pipe. He's from a family of winning chasers in France. Sandor Clegane was beaten little more than a length in the Albert Bartlett before dropping in class to win over 2m4f at Punchestown. He'll obviously want further than this as the season goes on but should give a good account of himself.

A good quality maiden chase, featuring several potentially useful recruits. SANDOR CLEGANE starts out in this sphere over a trip some way short of his best, but he may well get away with it on this stiff track with testing conditions forecast. Paul Nolan's charge made good strides over hurdles last season and appeals as the type to make an even better chaser. Inothewayurthinkin and Imagine are closely matched on hurdles form and rate the main dangers ahead of An Epic Song and Pinkerton.

An intriguing race contested by some smart hurdlers. INOTHEWAYURTHINKIN is just preferred to Sandor Clegane.

(8) The Ice Phoenix 13/8, Thrice-raced maiden. 17/2, third of 11 in maiden at Ascot (7f, good to firm) 60 days ago. Could get back on the up after a break and looks a definite player.

(4) Monfrid 6/5, Promising sort. 9/2, second of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 15 days ago. Open to improvement and worth a chance to open his account at the second attempt.
Second on last month's Wolverhampton debut; extra furlong should suit on pedigree.

Well held in two starts; looks one for nurseries after this.
LTO Selection:

12:07 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

The well-bred MONFRID found only a rival with experience too good on his debut at Wolverhampton 15 days ago and he could be hard to beat with the benefit of that outing. Secret World won over this trip on the same card and has to be of interest, despite taking on colts and geldings now. Francisco and Pop Noodle are open to improvement and are respected accordingly.

MONFRID shaped well on debut and should have learned from the experience, so he's marginally preferred to Secret World, who carries a penalty for her comfortable Wolverhampton success last time. The Ice Phoenix also has the form to compete.

The vote goes to THE ICE PHOENIX who finished second at Kempton in August, while his latest Ascot third is working out really well.

(8) Salver 9/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart hurdler/useful chase winner Saldier. Dam maiden on Flat. One to note in the betting on debut.
Half-brother to high-class hurdler Saldier; well beaten on Flat debut in Italy.
2
2nd (4) Excelero (11/2 -57%)
Excelero

11/2(-57%)
(4) Excelero 11/2, Castle Du Berlais gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful French chaser Kapeloi and fair French hurdler Perpetuel Movment. Stable had a newcomer finish a promising second in a similar race at Wincanton recently so a market move for this one could prove significant.
Has good French jumping pedigree; newcomers from this yard often run well in 3yo hurdles.

LTO Selection:

12:12 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Climate Precedent was runner-up on his first attempt over timber at Uttoxeter in July and returns from a small break having been kept busy on the Flat prior to that effort. He is entitled to step forward and put that experience to good use, but the vote goes to ROYAL DEESIDE. Yet to get off the mark on the level, the son of Churchill produced his best performance to date when runner-up at Salisbury last month and represents a team that have done particularly well in this division over the years. Any market support for Excelero would make him of interest.

Although ROYAL DEESIDE failed to win on the Flat he did achieve a decent level and gets the nod to make a successful start to his hurdle career for Alan King. Climate Precedent rates an obvious danger on the back of his hurdle debut second in the summer. Excelero and Salver are newcomers who would enter the reckoning if the betting suggests they are fancied.

The suggestion is CEEJAYBE, who gave a good account of himself on testing ground at Chepstow last month.

Last season was better than this but returns from a break with yard in sizzling form.
LTO Selection:

12:20 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

LUNAR SHADOW arrives here having won her last two starts on the Flat and a 4lb rise for her latest victory, which came over this course and distance, may not be enough to stop her. Sharp Distinction readily accounted for Aqwaam over 1m5f at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago and he could confirm that form, despite a 5lb swing in the weights.

LUNAR SHADOW added to her solid record in 2023 when scoring over C&D last month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. She can follow up. Sharp Distinction and De Vega's Warrior rate the principal dangers.

(8) Son Of Hypnos 50/1, Fair hurdler. Fair winner at 12f on flat. 50/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, heavy) 8 days ago. Switches from Flat to chase. Up in trip. Poor on last chase run.
Three Flat wins, also a winner over hurdles, no impact on only chase start last season.
LTO Selection:

12:28 Fairyhouse Maiden Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

SAINTE DONA jumped well in front at Thurles on her chasing debut before tiring to finish fourth. She shaped like the run was needed after six months off and could take a fair bit of catching here. Rated 118 after making all for a wide-margin win in a 2m7f hurdle last season, she is now on a mark of 109 in that sphere which makes her eligible for this contest. Low Mileage lacks a recent run and was well beaten on his last few starts but a return to the form of his fourth in a better-class beginners' chase at Gowran in February would see him go close. Galon De Vauzelle, who has tons of handicap experience, was touched off over C&D last December and has been runner-up four more times since.

SAINTE DONA was quite consistent over hurdles and made a positive impression when fourth in a novice at Thurles on chasing debut. She should strip fitter for that and is fancied to land this weaker race at the possible expense of Galon de Vauzelle, Potters Party is open to improvement and can't be dismissed.

With a solid record of reaching the money in handicaps, GALON DE VAUZELLE (nap) may have enough ability to exploit this opportunity.

LTO Selection:

12:37 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ENPASSANT, who was first past the post but placed second by the at Newcastle last week, can gain quick compensation if he stays out of trouble this time. This longer distance can be a help to the gelding and a bold show is expected with Danny Muscutt retaining the ride. Summit is also a player but lacks previous all-weather experience, so the recent C&D second Royal Tapestry is suggested as a bigger threat to the selection. Quickfire completes the shortlist.

ROYAL TAPESTRY finished with a flourish from a most unpromising position when second over C&D 6 days ago and, if the race doesn't come too soon, he should be capable of gaining compensation at the likely expense of Enpassant, who lost the race in the Stewards' Room a week ago. Summit is another one to consider.

This can go to ENPASSANT who was demoted after finishing first past the post at Newcastle a week ago and races off the same mark.

LTO Selection:

12:45 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Connections of JINGKO BLUE teamed up with a potentially smart winner at Ascot on Saturday and the four-year-old, who cost 225,000 pounds after winning a point-to-point at Oldtown in February, warrants the utmost respect on his Rules debut. Tarras Wood won on his sole bumper outing at Wetherby in December and is expected to benefit from stepping up in trip. Others to note include Monbari, Rockstown Native and Personal Ambition.

JINGKO BLUE was bought for big money after winning his sole outing in Irish points and, having joined a top yard, he makes plenty of appeal on his Rules debut. Tarras Wood looked potentially smart in overcoming inexperience to land a Wetherby bumper back in December, so is a very interesting hurdling debutant, while Rockstown Native made a promising start in this sphere here last month and seems sure to improve.

Bumper winner Tarras Wood is respected but JINGKO BLUE, an expensive recruit from the Irish point scene, is given the vote.

LTO Selection:

12:55 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Soft ground appears to be a valid excuse for LUCKY FIFTEEN's disappointing effort at Goodwood last time. Ralph Beckett's gelding had been highly progressive prior to that defeat and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back over a course and distance that he won over in June. Queen Regent was not disgraced in a valuable event at Newmarket last time and she edges out Man Of Monaco and Silver Gunn to be best of the rest.

LUCKY FIFTEEN was going the right way before seemingly bogged down by the conditions at Goodwood last time and can resume winning ways. Daysofourlives and Man of Monaco are feared most.

LTO Selection:

13:03 Fairyhouse Handicap Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

The front-running RUDY CATRAIL can resume winning ways on a track that should suit his prominent racing style. At his best when allowed to bowl along in front building up a big lead, the twelve-year-old has been let down by his jumping on recent starts. In a smaller field where he should get an easy time of it under Gavin Brouder, the gelding can record a sixth win under rules. Greenway Machine was a long ways behind Rudy Catrail at Roscommon in August but a bad mistake at the third last ended his chances on that occasion. The son of Robin Des Pres has since registered a victory at Downpatrick. Fox Le Bel has shown enough ability to suggest he can win a race or two but the Liz Doyle-trained gelding will need to improve on recent efforts.

FOX LE BEL acquitted himself well in more competitive contests than this last term and, with his yard going well, he is taken to make a winning return. Rudy Catrail and Greenway Machine look the likeliest dangers.

This is weak and the locally-trained HIGHSTREETFASHION, who managed to win twice last season, is only a token choice.

LTO Selection:

13:12 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Potapova is a high-class mare at her best but she hasn't won so far this season, although there were encouraging signs when she was second at Newmarket in September. The five-year-old can go well, but it may be worth risking the returning ZELLIE, who makes her all-weather debut on her first start since May. Fourth in the 1000 Guineas last year, she has more than a touch of class about her. Nigiri looks best of the three-year-olds and is another to consider.

NIGIRI failed to fire at Ascot last time but prior to that had looked a filly capable of winning races at this sort of level and is given another chance. Zellie's absence since her reappearance in May is a slight worry but she'll be a huge threat if anywhere near her best. Last year's winner Queen Aminatu looks sure to have a say again, while Al Agaila's excellent AW record also earns her a place on the shortlist.

It's hard to oppose last year's winner QUEEN AMINATU (nap) given her wonderful record on the AW (221111132).

LTO Selection:

13:20 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

KINTAIL stepped forward from his Wincanton second when going one better here in May at the expense of Rock House, who has since gone on to finish third in the Persian War at Chepstow. Despite being in receipt of 8lb from the runner-up on that occasion, better is expected over hurdles from the four-year-old and this appears to be a nice starting point. Mount Ferns has a pedigree that suggests he will benefit more from a stiffer test of stamina following his second over an inadequate trip at Fontwell in April, while God's Own Getaway is capable of better after his second on hurdling debut at Wetherby in the spring.

GOD'S OWN GETAWAY shaped well when runner-up on his Wetherby hurdling debut back in March and, although that was an uncompetitive affair, he very much appeals as the sort to go on progressing this season. Mount Ferns and Kintail showed enough in bumpers to warrant respect on their respective hurdling bows.

Nicky Henderson's KINTAIL beat a good horse to win a course bumper in May and is selected to make a winning hurdle debut.

LTO Selection:

13:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

CARIAD appeared to have plenty in hand when scoring over this course and distance on Saturday and she is very hard to oppose under a 6lb penalty. Uncle Dick has won three of his last five starts and was badly hampered at a crucial time when fifth at Wolverhampton most recently. With a clear run, he could prove to be the main threat to the selection ahead of Inverlochy and Tribal Wisdom.

CARIAD is turned out quickly after her decisive C&D victory last week and remains feasibly treated, despite a 6lb penalty. She can score again. Inverlochy and Uncle Dick should also go well.

Inverlochy, Cariad and Clipsham Gold have claims but TRIBAL WISDOM caught the eye last time and may be primed to strike.

LTO Selection:

13:38 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

PINOT GRIS is a proven stayer with the potential to make up into a smart juvenile hurdler on testing ground this side of Christmas. The Gavin Cromwell trained grey won twice during the summer months, before running a career best on his reappearance when just touched off in a better grade at the Listowel Festival. With the winner of that race franking the form in a premier handicap next time, there is every likelihood that Pinot Gris has more to offer. Provided he takes to jumping, he could be an exciting prospect. Fratas, a five-time winner for Michael Mulvany this season, is a worthy opponent. With the speed to win over a mile and stamina for middle distances she has the right attributes for a hurdler. Semblance Of Order, a rare National Hunt runner for trainer Andy Oliver, has to be respected.

PINOT GRIS makes plenty of appeal now switching to hurdling based on his highly progressive Flat profile, so he earns the vote. Eagle Fang made an encouraging start to his hurdling career when second at Cork last month and is entitled to improve, while Fratas and Timeless Piece are two other interesting recruits to this sphere.

If FRATAS can make an efficient transition to hurdling she will be hard to beat on the evidence of progressive form on the Flat

LTO Selection:

13:47 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 13f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Stamina may be an issue for some of these as the majority step up in trip for this Listed contest, but that does not apply to DIVINE JEWEL. The daughter of Frankel was second over further than this at Chester in September and is forgiven a poor run on a softer surface in the Park Hill on her latest outing. If she isn't at her best, then Greysful Storm is an obvious danger alongside the maiden winner Safety Catch, who could be the surprise package.

There was no obvious reason for DIVINE JEWEL's tame display at Doncaster and, given that her profile is otherwise pretty solid, it's probably best not to assume that it was simply a 'bad day at the office'. She was a good second in a listed contest at Chester prior to that (Greysful Storm 3¼ lengths adrift in fourth and 4 lb worse off here) and a reproduction of that would give her every chance. Greysful Storm is taken to follow her home, with Empress Wu and Luckin Brew best of the rest.

The choice is DIVINE JEWEL who has been placed four times in Pattern company and gained her only AW success at this track.

LTO Selection:

13:55 Warwick Maiden Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Ballymackie is an interesting recruit after winning his last two point-to-points at Punchestown and Loughanmore and he could be a very interesting contender if ready to roll for his first start since April,. Golden Son has plenty of useful form in France and commands a fair amount of respect on his first start for Paul Nicholls, but IROKO still gets the vote. Winner of the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival and third in the Sefton Hurdle at Aintree, the five-year-old looks an exciting recruit to chasing and has reportedly schooled well ahead of his return to action.

GOLDEN SON made up into a smart hurdler during his time in France, and having displayed promise on his sole start over fences when last seen 18 months ago, he could well be worth siding with to make a winning return with the prospect of more to come in this sphere for his powerful yard. Iroko had a fine season over hurdles last term and is feared along with Kilbeg King. Dual point-scorer Ballymackie is one to monitor closely in the betting on Rules debut

A Cheltenham Festival winner over hurdles in March, IROKO is open to even more improvement over fences this season.

(6) Nakheel 14/1, Foaled April 5. Dubawi filly. Sister to 1¼m winner Elraaed. Likely type on paper and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say.
Third foal; sister to 1m2f winner Elraaed (RPR 87); needs a market check.

7th (1) Panarea (11/4 -22%)
Panarea

11/4(-22%)
(1) Panarea 11/4, 8/11, won 5-runner minor event at Ascot (6f, good to soft) on debut in July. That form is no more than fair, but as a well-bred filly representing powerful connections, she is likely to improve. Major player.
Odds-on and did well to reel in the front-runner on debut at Ascot in July (6f); promising.
LTO Selection:

14:05 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

PANAREA made the perfect start to her career at Ascot in July and the half-sister to champion juvenile Pinatubo is expected to back that performance up, despite giving 7lb to all of her rivals barring Shakeela. Roger Varian's filly stepped forward from her debut to win at Southwell and she enters calculations. Jeanne d'Arc is another with valid form credentials based on her runner-up effort at Wolverhampton.

JEANNE D'ARC shaped like a ready-made future winner when going close in a Wolverhampton maiden recently and, with improvement on the cards, she is taken to go one better here. The form of the Ascot novice won by Panarea during the summer is nothing to get too excited about, but she has to be feared nevertheless and is second choice ahead of Southwell scorer Shakeela.

In receipt of weight from the penalised winners this may go the way of JEANNE D'ARC, who was a big eyecatcher at Wolverhampton.

LTO Selection:

14:13 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

NEW YORK STYLE, who was bought by J.P. McManus after finishing runner-up on her racecourse debut at Wexford last October, can provide an instant return. A half-sister to a black type horse also owned by McManus, she is certainly in the right hands to make a successful career over hurdles. St Cuthbert's Cave, a bumper winner at Kelso for Rose Dobbin in May, makes his debut for Gordon Elliott. Subsequently purchased by Gigginstown House Stud, the five-year-old has plenty of untapped potential. Viceregent had become somewhat disappointing for Charles Byrnes prior to winning his last start on the flat recently. Now starting out for new connections, he has plenty of experience over hurdles which should prove an asset in this company.

ST CUTHBERT'S ROAD has switched to Gordon Elliott since making a winning bumper debut in the spring and gets the nod to do likewise over hurdles, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Henry De Bromhead pair New York Style and An Tobar are other interesting recruits to the hurdle ranks, while Viceregent, who has changed hands since a Flat success at Navan last month, looks pick of those with hurdle experience.

St Cuthbert's Cave is of obvious interest but AN TOBAR didn't half look good when winning his point by a wide margin.

LTO Selection:

14:22 Lingfield Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Mamillius has a good record here with four wins to his name, two of which came over this trip, but the veteran could be vulnerable. SHOOT TO KILL can idle once he hits the front, but he stays further than this and the gelding could mow them down late on. Last month's Chelmsford second Sir Oliver and seven-furlong specialist Bowman might compete for the minor placing.

HOW IMPRESSIVE was better than the result when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and can resume winning ways with Richard Kingscote, who was on board for his Yarmouth success in September, back in the saddle. Shoot To Kill and Dashing Duck are others to consider, while Riot should also have a part to play if stall 11 doesn't prove too troublesome.

Preference is for HOW IMPRESSIVE whose close second over C&D in August has worked out well. Stepping back up to 7f should suit.

LTO Selection:

14:30 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

TARAHUMARA made all to win on his first start following wind surgery and, as that was his third start over hurdles and his second victory, there may be more to come. The seven-year-old is capable of going well fresh, but he may need to be held up for a later challenge this time if Eagle Of The Glen gets first run on him in the race to take them along. He can go close if given a measured ride, while Royal Rhythm and Knot On Time are others for the shortlist.

Plenty are in with a shout. GERARD MENTOR shaped well when runner-up at Hereford last time and with his yard among the winners he is taken to bag a second C&D success. Royal Rhythm heads the list of dangers on the back of his debut Carlisle success for Jonjo O'Neill, although a good case can also be made for the returning pair Force de Frap and Risk d'Argent along with handicap-debutants Eagle Of The Glen and Max's Champ.

A chance is taken on RISK D'ARGENT, who ran well in defeat when fresh a year ago and begins his new campaign on an attractive mark.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

MUSICAL MYSTERY appears to have turned a corner recently, winning two of his last three starts with both coming on the all-weather, and Ed Dunlop's gelding may well have more to offer stepping back up to 7f. Kodias Sangarius went up 5lb for her recent victory here and is entitled to be competitive once again, while Rich Rhythm shaped with promise for Ralph Beckett and is respected on his debut for new connections.

KODIAS SANGARIUS duly returned to form back on the all-weather when landing a 6f handicap in ready fashion here last month. She remains feasibly treated up 5 lb and is taken to strike again, with another crack at this trip well worth exploring. Musical Mystery has won 2 of his last 3 starts and looks a big danger, while Rich Rhythm could also have a part to play on debut for his new yard.

Henry Spiller's KODIAS SANGARIUS has shown all her form at 6f but this might not be too demanding a test over 7f.

Modest form since winning a Tramore maiden last season, out of her depth in this company.

14:48 Fairyhouse Conditions Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

ABSOLUTE NOTIONS, runner-up in a Grade 1 novice hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival in February, should take beating if fit enough on his reappearance. Although there has to be a slight concern about the ground, given that he was pulled up at Aintree on his final run last season on testing going, he appears to have a class edge here. Joyeux Machin is clear second best on ratings but could get closer than his mark suggests given he has the advantage of a recent run. Paul Nolan's six-year-old has been kept on the go throughout the summer so should lack for nothing in terms of fitness. He, too, may not want it to get too testing. Starman has plenty to find with the top two but can make the running and that might bring him into contention if the race becomes tactical.

ABSOLUTE NOTIONS was going the right way prior to his disappointing effort in the Sefton Novices Hurdle last April and looks to have been found a good opportunity to get back on track here. Joyeux Machin is the obvious danger.

Neither of the main protagonists may relish the ground. ABSOLUTE OTIONS is better suited by the race conditions than Joyeux Machin

LTO Selection:

14:57 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

ARLECCHINO'S GIFT went close at Chelmsford on his penultimate start, when denied by a neck, before following that effort up with a fourth at the same venue last month. This appears to be an excellent opportunity for the four-year-old to get back to winning ways. A repeat of Moveonup's second at Chelmsford in September would give him every chance of being in the mix, while Bungle Bay is capable of bouncing back from his recent displays.

ARLECCHINO'S GIFT arrives on the back of a couple of in-frame efforts at Chelmsford and might be capable of getting his head back in front under David Probert. Moveonup went close on his latest AW start and is second choice ahead of Sassy Redhead, who has tasted success over C&D before and takes a drop in class now.

Most of these have plenty to prove but ARLECCHINO'S GIFT went close on Polytrack on his penultimate run and he had an excuse last time.

Ended last season in excellent form, winning twice in good style at Huntingdon.
LTO Selection:

15:05 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Hartur D'oudairies only won a solitary race over hurdles from five starts, but one look at his pedigree suggests he may go on to improve over the larger obstacles. He can go well but if HIGH GAME ROYAL takes to the larger obstacles, he could be the one. A winner over hurdles at Chepstow in April, despite idling in front, he gets the vote for a stable in among the winners, with Eyed one to watch for his very shrewd stable.

Ex-pointer SAGEBURG COUNTY was most impressive on chasing debut and he's fancied to maintain his unbeaten record in this sphere. Zestful Hope is a danger with a run under his belt and Hartur d'Oudairies looks the pick of the chasing newcomers.

The suggestion is HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES, who looks quite well handicapped on some of last season's hurdling form here.

LTO Selection:

15:15 Chelmsford Seller (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

According to the official ratings, Art Of Romance should go well at these weights but he hasn't gone forward from his debut second and needs to do more to win here. COSMOS RAJ does have to give weight to all of his rivals, but his short-head second in an Ayr handicap in September is form which reads well. Newcomer Groove Nation has to be of some interest too.

This can go to COSMOS RAJ, who will appreciate the drop in grade after acquitting himself well in competitive handicaps of late. Smart Deal may provide the chief threat.

LTO Selection:

15:23 Fairyhouse Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

PAPA BARNS caught the eye when staying on into third here on his last visit and may be able to go a couple of places better now. The lightly-raced Mustameet gelding posted a much-improved performance on his return this season, when third to Brownstone, and this step up in trip looks like it should suit. C'est Rien has been knocking on the door recently and is a leading contender here again in a moderate enough contest. Quornofamonday is another who showed improvement on his first start of this season, when third at Gowran Park, and has to be on the shortlist.

QUORNOFAMONDAY shaped well after a lay-off when third at Gowran last time and can build on it here to open his account at the chief expense of Western Model who also looks to have more to offer on the back of a good Cork sixth on his handicap debut. Glenabo Bridge appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

The fact that C'EST RIEN has performed creditably back-to-back bodes well and a trip just shy of 3m seemed to stretch her at Thurles.

LTO Selection:

15:32 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

DARLO PRIDE rewarded connections by finally shedding the maiden tag at Chelmsford in September following a string of consistent performances. A 3lb rise doesn't appear to be particularly harsh and the son of Outstrip gets the vote to back that victory up. Tilsworth Ony Ta continues to hold his form and is respected along with Moorgate, who could get closer if breaking on terms unlike when fourth over C&D last time.

Sole 3-y-o DARLO PRIDE is taken to defy a small rise for Chelmsford. Moorgate, Tilsworth Ony Ta and Fristel may give Anthony Carson's charge most to think about.

Darlo Pride is more solid than most but MOORGATE looks to have potential for the AW and can improve on his latest 4th over C&D.

Shouldn't be far away if ready to roll following a break.

Shape encouragingly when third of 9 on return at Bangor, finishing 6 lengths adrift of the re-opposing Halifax, but dropping back in trip here may not be ideal.
Behind Halifax on last month's return so needs to improve for that; both wins on soft.

(15) Stratton Oakmont 20/1, Fair efforts both starts in handicap hurdles last season and since won 2 of his 4 starts between the flags. Record stands at 0-9 in this sphere, but he resumes on what looks a workable mark and is worth a second look.
Two point wins in the spring; has placed form over hurdles but yet to win one.

Steal My Sunshine

4/1(+33%)
(14) Steal My Sunshine 4/1, Improved in first-time cheekpieces to land 11-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, good to soft) in May. That form is proving strong and he duly followed up on return at Worcester last month. 6 lb rise fair enough and this low-mileage 6-y-o may have more to offer.
2-2 in cheekpieces; had to work hard at Worcester last month and up 6lb; still shortlisted.

(9) Alexandra Romanov 6/1, Successful twice at Fontwell last winter and added to her tally back from 8 months off in a 6-runner C&D handicap (good) in September, despite some sloppy jumping. However, 7 lb higher mark proved beyond her back here next time and, eased just 1 lb since, she looks vulnerable.
C&D winner in September and fair effort here since; should give a good account.

However, he was beating a retreat when falling 3 out at Uttoxeter the following month. Others preferred.

(16) Commodore Miller 50/1, Fairly useful maiden hurdler at his best for Nicky Henderson and, though time with that yard ended on a downer (pulled up in handicap at Fakenham in May 2022), he was still in the lead when falling 2 out on debut for new yard at Huntingdon (19.6f, good to soft) in January. Interesting.
Still leading when taking heavy fall at Huntingdon in January, on stable debut.

Has undergone a wind op subsequent to a couple of below par efforts and claims if able to get back on track here.
Two modest efforts in the spring; needs wind surgery to make a difference.

Resumes from a 17-month absence here and the market should be revealing.
Absent since a hat-trick in spring 2022; market check required.

(4) Interne De Sivola 25/1, Dual juvenile hurdle winner for Nick Williams during 2021/22 campaign. Didn't take to fences last season, but return to this sphere did little to reverse his fortunes over 2m here on his latest start in March. Too risky for comfort, for all that he resumes on a potentially handy mark.
Chasing didn't work out and was pulled up back hurdling in March; plenty to prove.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The application of cheekpieces seem to have been the key to STEAL MY SUNSHINE's improvement with the six-year-old winning his last two starts at Uttoxeter in May and when returning from a break at Worcester last month. The six-year-old doesn't appear to have finished his progression and a 6lb rise is unlikely to be an inconvenience. A wind operation might aid the cause of Halligator, while Mourzouk and Alexandra Romanov complete the shortlist.

POLICE ACADEMY has progressed since joining Fergal O'Brien and a 4 lb rise for her latest success at Ludlow is unlikely to stop her in her tracks. She gets the nod ahead of another upwardly mobile sort in 6-y-o in Steal My Sunshine, who is bidding for the hat-trick following his reappearance victory at Worcester. Halligator remains of interest, despite failing to fire the last twice, while Commodore Miller and handicap-debutant Sea Village are others to consider in a competitive handicap.

LTO Selection:

15:50 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

SERENDIPITOUS LADY stayed on well to win by a couple of lengths last month at Yarmouth and, although she has been put up 5lb for that success, she may have more to offer now the penny has dropped. Her third here in September suggests the surface is not an issue and she could get the better of the blinkered St Lukes Chelsea and Bath second Monks Mead.

The one who appeals most is SERENDIPITOUS LADY, who was a close third on her handicap bow here in September and subsequently improved again when opening her account at Yarmouth. She may well have more to offer now upped to a mile. Likleman produced his best effort yet when runner-up at Leicester 3 weeks ago and he is likely to emerge as the main danger. St Lukes Chelsea and Monks Mead are others to consider.

LTO Selection:

15:58 Fairyhouse Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

RESERVE JUDGEMENT should appreciate stepping back up in trip here. The Ocovango gelding stayed on one paced when fourth on his return to action at Sligo 11 days ago over two-and-a-half miles. His sole racecourse win came at just slightly shorter than this extended two-mile-seven trip around a big galloping track in Down Royal. Toor Moon has been knocking on the door and looks an obvious contender. Larkfield Lusive ran well when chasing home Ask Anything in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time and back in handicap company he looks like another for the shortlist.

TOOR MOON remains a maiden but he arrives on the back of a string of consistent efforts in handicaps over shorter in recent months and with this step up in trip expected to hold no fears, he earns the vote to come out on top. Reserve Judgement and Mahler Appeal head the dangers, with Larkfield Lusive another to consider.

A good few with chances. LARKFIELD LUSIVE is one of the least exposed contenders and he might not be on a bad mark.

LTO Selection:

16:05 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

The unexposed MY HARRISON GEORGE put in a career best when third over this trip at Ayr on his most recent outing in August and he gets the vote off a 1lb lower mark in a moderate contest. Balqaa made the frame in a similar event at Wolverhampton last time and has to be of interest, while We Still Believe and Isle of Wolves are also noted.

This looks wide open but MERCURIUS POWER has fallen to a potentially handy mark and having not been disgraced over shorter here on his most recent outing 18 days ago, he could be worth siding with to come out on top. We Still Believe ran well in a higher grade latest and is feared, with My Harrison George and Balqaa others to consider.

The 3yo filly FITZ PERFECTLY hinted at Chelmsford that she could be suited by this step back up in trip and she can get off the mark.

Has struggled for his current yard and record now stands at 1-17; cheekpieces added.
LTO Selection:

16:10 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

SHALFA has improved for the application of blinkers and is the percentage call following a decent effort in defeat at Chelmsford last month. Doras Tamar is an interesting newcomer to the handicap ranks with leading young rider Billy Loughnane back in the plate, while Goldsmith has held his form since returning in the summer and holds possibilities off top weight.

The vote goes to GOLDSMITH, who went like the best horse at the weights when third over a mile here recently and the return to this trip could be the catalyst for the 4-y-o to resume winning ways. Kentucky Kingdom was too free at Wolverhampton last time, but he remains on a workable mark and will be a threat if settling better. Dynamic Talent and Shalfa are others to consider, while an on-song Sea of Charm would also be in with a shout.

Several have claims but the vote goes to GOLDSMITH, a dual C&D winner who went close over 1m here latest. Shalfa is feared most.

Has struggled in three chases since returned to racing under rules this year.
LTO Selection:

16:15 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

SAFE DESTINATION justified market support to get off the mark at Uttoxeter last month and it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see Nigel Twiston-Davies' gelding handle a 6lb rise on this occasion. Mixedwave won twice last season and is capable of taking another step forward, while His Oscar is an interesting contender on his chasing bow following a lengthy absence.

There should be more to come from SAFE DESTINATION, who left his chase debut form behind when scoring at Uttoxeter last month. He can follow up. Dreams of Diamonds and Ali Star Bert head the list of dangers.

Course winner PEMBERLEY (nap) is very well handicapped now and will have a significant class edge over this field if back on song.

Makes nursery/stable debut off a basement mark but improvement is needed.
LTO Selection:

16:40 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Vitarli merits respect following her win over 5f here last week but a 6lb penalty for that success is an obvious concern. With that in mind, preference is for INVINCIBLE SIAM, who has shown plenty of promise in novice/maiden company and an opening mark of 65 should be workable, especially as she may improve for a first-time tongue-tie. Others to consider are Professor Tickle and Inspiring Speeches.

WICHAHPI never really looked in much danger under a forceful ride when making it 2 wins from her last 3 starts in nurseries at Leicester 4 weeks ago and a 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent her going well again back on all weather. Recent course winner Vitarli and Professor Tickle head up the dangers, with Inspiring Speeches another worth keeping an eye on.

Newmarket trainer George Boughey won this last year and INVINCIBLE SIAM earns the vote on her AW and nursery debut.

Close 3rd in this last year; fair run at Lingfield recently after break; could build on it.
LTO Selection:

17:15 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Albegone and Castan are last-time-out winners who have to be high on the shortlist but preference is for KHABIB. The five-year-old is a dual C&D winner and he bounced back to form when beaten a head into second on his most recent outing at Redcar. Off just a 2lb higher mark, it would be no surprise to see him go one better here.

NELSON GAY didn't enjoy the rub of the green at Redcar last time out and can quickly resume winning ways back on the AW. Reigning Profit should be all the better for his recent Lingfield fourth after an absence so rates the chief threat, although both Khabib and Strong Johnson can have a say too in a competitive handicap.

9th (9) Astapor (22/1 -57%)
Astapor

22/1(-57%)
(9) Astapor 22/1, 4 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Pontefract in July. 66/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 7 days ago, going off too hard. In the mix.
Four 5f wins earlier this year; didn't see out 6f here recently; could be firmly involved.
LTO Selection:

17:50 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

MILBANKE has fared well with a high draw and, off just 3lb higher than his Pontefract success, he is an appealing option reverting to the all-weather. Having already won on Tapeta at Wolverhampton, the surface doesn't present much of an issue and a bold showing is expected with Ryan Sexton retaining the ride. Previous C&D winner Show Me Show Me is feared most, with Rambuso Creek another to bear in mind.

MILBANKE made a winning debut for Julie Camacho at Pontefract last time and is fancied to defy a 3 lb rise given the verve she went through the race with. Le Beau Garcon is on a long losing run but seems sure to go well once more while Astapor and Rambuso Creek also need factoring in.

Preference is for ASTAPOR, who has won four times over 5f this year and showed bundles of speed before fading over 6f here last week.

Absent since April but stable enjoying very productive autumn and he's a 2-time C&D winner.
LTO Selection:

18:25 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

With the form of last month's Ayr success working out well, the versatile TELE RED is fancied to make light work of a 3lb rise in this company. The selection wasn't at his best the last time he raced on this surface but it is safe to say he's progressed a lot since. Crownthorpe and Eldrickjones are in-form rivals who can ensure this goes down to the wire.

ELDRICKJONES has been resurgent following a wind op, posting solid back-to-back efforts at this venue prior to a good third at York (7f) on his latest outing 25 days ago. Remaining on a workable mark back on AW, he's expected to make his presence felt again, with 3-y-o O G Beachwear, Ron O and Power of Darkness head up the dangers.

The strong-finishing effort from O G BEACHWEAR over 7f at Newmarket last time suggests she is open to improvement now upped to 1m.

Well beaten in all three handicaps (5f-7f) and others have far less to prove.
LTO Selection:

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

POP FAVORITE possibly hit the front too soon when he was just run out of things near the finish here last week, but it was still an encouraging enough effort and he gets the vote off the same mark. Ledger showed guts to win over C&D last Tuesday and also rates highly under a 6lb penalty, while Annalee Lass and Two Rivers are a couple of others expected to be heavily involved.

PRINCE HECTOR has fallen to a career-low mark and fared best of those ridden prominently when finishing fourth behind Ledger in a C&D event 7 days ago. With a visor back on, he could be worth chancing to come out on top on this occasion, with the aforementioned Ledger, Annalee Lass and 4-time C&D winner Pop Favorite heading up the dangers.

The ex-Irish 3yo LEDGER made a winning start for Lucinda Russell over C&D last Tuesday and is taken to defy a 6lb penalty.

3yo who has dropped to a basement mark but for a good reason.
LTO Selection:

19:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Ratafia won for the first time at Redcar last month, but his record on the all-weather is five runs and five unplaced efforts, so he will need to improve to follow up. CHEESE THE ONE is narrowly preferred with a win at Wolverhampton in August and a half-length fourth at the same track last month. Christian Howarth claiming 3lb in the saddle is an added bonus, while Rockonmecca is an interesting alternative if a first-time visor has the desired effect.

RATAFIA still looks handily weighted despite taking a 5 lb rise for his recent Redcar success so he gets the vote in this open-looking sprint. Highland Queen is still to register a victory but arrives in good order and can chase home Michael Herrington's 5-y-o ahead of in-form pair Van Zant and Rum Runner.

The filly CHEESE THE ONE has been running consistently well of late and can win here for a second time. Ratafia is a danger.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Just the four runners here so it could get tactical, which ought to suit BRITANNICA more than her rivals. She has pulled too hard in the past but could be allowed to bowl along in front and set her own pace. Moon Flight is an obvious danger if the first-time hood brings him back to his best after a below-par fourth at Wolverhampton, while the once-raced Souffionne could come home in third.

BRITANNICA holds the clear edge on form so is fancied to open her account at the sixth attempt at the chief expense of Moon Flight who should find this return to further to her benefit. Souffionne should build on his debut Southwell fourth and can also have a say.

The vote goes to MOON FLIGHT who has finished runner-up in both starts over 7f, including here.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Sydney Bay may prove popular looking for a C&D hat-trick, but his last win was by less than a length and a 5lb penalty will make his life that bit more difficult. He can still go well but a chance is taken on BLACKCURRENT, who was three-quarters of a length behind the winner in second that day but now 2lb better off. Kraken Power rates best of the rest.

GARIFULLINA is less exposed than most of these and signalled she is ready to open her account when a very good Catterick third last time so looks the way to go off an unchanged mark. Sydney Bay rates a big danger though under a penalty for his emphatic C&D success, with fellow course scorers Blackcurrent and Gowanbuster also firmly in the mix.

Sydney Bay and Blackcurrent (second choice) are respected but they could both be beaten by NICKLEBY who is on a handy mark.
