1st (7) Bucksy Des Epeires (5/1 -100%)
Bucksy Des Epeires

5/1(-100%)
(7) Bucksy Des Epeires 5/1, Showed fair form when second in juvenile events at Dieppe and Lyon Parilly in 2022. Off 13 months but has joined an in-form yard and needs considering.
Runner-up in two French hurdles and was recruited for 65,000euros; market instructive.
2
2nd (3) Illico De Cotte (10/11 +48%)
Illico De Cotte

10/11(+48%)
(3) Illico De Cotte 10/11, Fetched £100,000 after landing an Irish maiden point by 12 lengths in March. Has joined a top yard and confidence behind him in the betting on Rules debut would look significant.
Beat a subsequent hurdle winner by 12l in an Irish point; could be useful.

3rd (8) Tintagel Queen (8/1 -78%)
Tintagel Queen

8/1(-78%)
(8) Tintagel Queen 8/1, Improved on debut form when second in 10-runner bumper at Chepstow (16f, soft) in March, albeit flattered by proximity to idling winner. Should have a future over hurdles.
Flattered to get quite so close to an idling winner in her second bumper at Chepstow.
4
4th (6) All Authorized (3/1 +33%)
All Authorized

3/1(+33%)
(6) All Authorized 3/1, Brother to useful 2m hurdle winner I Am Maximus and made the ideal start when landing a Fontwell bumper in ready fashion in April. Didn't look entirely straightforward when sixth of 11 under a penalty at Ascot on recent return but still warrants respect as a bumper winner on hurdle debut.
Bumper winner who didn't run badly under a penalty at Ascot recently; now hurdling.
5th
5th (2) Dish Of The Day (40/1 -21%)
Dish Of The Day

40/1(-21%)
(2) Dish Of The Day 40/1, Hinted at ability sole outing in bumpers but needs a big step forward on hurdle debut.
Beaten 27l in a heavy-ground bumper at Taunton but that was a decent race.
6th
6th (5) Top Kap (16/1 -113%)
Top Kap

16/1(-113%)
(5) Top Kap 16/1, Kapgarde gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Fellow Mag and Bois Sans Soif. Failed to justify support in an Exeter bumper on debut 11 months ago but could prove a different proposition now hurdling.
Well beaten in an Exeter bumper 12 months ago but he did go off favourite.
7th
7th (4) Mullys Choice (40/1 -60%)
Mullys Choice

40/1(-60%)
(4) Mullys Choice 40/1, Picked up for £60,000 after finishing second sole outing in points but looks one for the longer term under Rules.
Second in an Irish point; from good jumping family but it's been a quiet start under rules.
8th
8th (1) D'ambonnay (300/1 -100%)
D'ambonnay

300/1(-100%)
(1) D'ambonnay 300/1, Well held in a brace of bumpers 20 months apart.
Well down the field in two bumpers some 605 days apart; opposable.
LTO Selection:

12:00 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

BUCKSY DES EPEIRES recorded some useful form when racing in France and the four-year-old may be able to open his account now under the tutelage of the in-form Venetia Williams. Illico De Cotte was an easy winner of his sole point-to-point in Ireland and the son of Kitkou warrants respect entering this sphere for leading connections. Tintagel Queen finished second in a Chepstow bumper in March and is another to consider on her hurdles debut.

ILLICO DE COTTE fetched £100,000 after landing an Irish point by 12 lengths in March and, having joined a top yard, he makes plenty of appeal. Bucksy des Epeires showed a fair level of form in France and could raise his game on his UK/stable debut, while Tintagel Queen and All Authorized merit consideration too having shown promise in bumpers.

Some potential on show. Bumper winner ALL AUTHORIZED is the brother of an Irish National winner and now goes up in distance.

(5) Virginia Lodge 9/1, Out of a winning hurdler and in good hands but offered little at Ludlow on last month's debut.
25-1, beaten 41l on last month's Ludlow debut and could well be in need of more time.

Francina

Uplift on her near-3l Hereford debut second seems highly likely; yard in fine fettle.

Circle Of Hope

(1) Circle Of Hope 7/4, Yorgunnabelucky filly. Brother to fairly useful 7.4f winner Yorbelucky. Dam, 9f/1¼m winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 21f) I'm So Lucky and useful hurdler (2m winner) Dream Esteem. Wears cheekpieces for debut for good yard.
Dual-purpose family has served the owner-breeder well overall; sports cheekpieces on debut.

Talysh

Appears plenty to recommend her, as a sibling to three 1m7f-2m3f winners over hurdles.

Jackie Savage

18/1(-50%)

Dam unraced sister to smart hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 27f) Sunny Flight and fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 27f) Golden Flight. Bred more for stamina than speed but still worth a market check.
Niece of two Prix la Haye Jousselin winners who also took 2m-2m1f hurdles as youngsters.
LTO Selection:

12:10 Fakenham Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

FRANCINA's debut second in a small-field affair at Hereford last month isn't the easiest to weigh up, but improvement looks on the cards for Jamie Snowden's filly and she could put her experience to good use here. Talysh, half-sister to the currently 129-rated Persian Time, is the most intriguing of the newcomers and any market support for her should be noted. Debutant Jackie Savage also makes some appeal on paper and completes the shortlist.

CIRCLE OF HOPE hails from a stable that's made a good start to the season with its hurdling newcomers, so she earns the vote before market clues. Talysh has an appealing pedigree and has to be feared, particularly if strong in the betting, while Francina should build on last month's debut at Hereford.

From a yard still in fine form, FRANCINA can go one better if more streetwise than on debut. Talysh is the pick of the newcomers.

Has failed to progress; handicaps available shortly.
LTO Selection:

12:20 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

ADJUVANT would have finished much closer on his NH debut but for sprawling at the final hurdle at Ludlow last month and this smart performer on the Flat may have learned enough from that experience to open his account in this sphere today. Although Listed bumper winner Fiercely Proud wasn't quite up to Graded level at the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals, Ben Pauling's inmate is one to note now tackling hurdles and he could give the selection most to think about, ahead of Court In The Act.

Useful Flat winner ADJUVANT would've finished much closer on his Ludlow hurdle debut but for a significant late error, so he's very much fancied to build on that opening effort and make it second time lucky in this sphere. Court In The Act ran out with a Fontwell bumper on his debut for Harry Derham and must enter calculations, while others to consider are Fiercely Proud and Mount Olympus.

Interesting bumper winners COURT IN THE ACT and Fiercely Proud head the shortlist, ahead of Adjuvant.

LTO Selection:

12:25 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GLEN KILN, from the family of Limestone Lad, might prove better than this grade in time. He returned from a small break running for a new yard at Cork recently and ran well, catching the eye with a staying-on fourth to useful horses. Trackman Tommy disappointed at Ballinrobe in May but now returns from a summer break. The form of his course placing last March has worked out well with the runner-up and third winning subsequently and he likes testing ground. Quest For Speed showed ability last January while Soldat Flamboyant has moderate point-to-point form. Twocanduit's hurdles form is poor but notably won a December point-to-point on debut before losing the race due to a banned substance, and runs for a new yard. Kilbarry Saint ran well on points debut but isn't straightforward while Make Sunshine was reported to have hung right here last month and had previously raced keenly in May.

GLEN KILN showed much more sent hurdling when fourth in a big field at Cork and gets the vote over Quest With Speed and Trackman Tommy, who are at a similar level on their best form.

A promising run at Cork on his first outing for Harry Kelly suggests that GLEN KILN may be equal to this less demanding task.

(5) Heva Rose 5/4, Hasn't shown much over hurdles since joining this yard from France but potentially thrown-in, including from her chase mark, and yard couldn't be in any better form ahead of return.

Hurdle winner in the spring; makes chasing debut after low-key reappearance last month.
LTO Selection:

12:35 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Ya Know Yaseff arrives in good heart and David Pipe's mare makes more appeal than most. However, the drop in trip to 2m4f might leave the daughter of Jet Away vulnerable, with PRESENTING A QUEEN shading the vote. The six-year-old should have learned plenty from her chase debut when third at Wincanton last month and any natural improvement for that reappearance could make her tough to pass. Artemis Kimbo and Lady Of The Night are others to note.

HEVA ROSE is potentially thrown-in back over fences and her yard couldn't be in any better form, so she's worth chancing on her return. Presenting A Queen offered something to work on when third on chase bow/return and is feared most.

It might be worth chancing LADY OF THE NIGHT, who will be hard to beat at this level if back on song after her break.

LTO Selection:

12:45 Fakenham Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

GUGUSS COLLONGES proved a different proposition when landing the spoils under more aggressive tactics at Stratford recently. A 5lb rise looks more than fair and the seven-year-old should take all the beating if dictating the pace once more. Call Of The Loon shaped better than the finishing position when fourth at Huntingdon last Tuesday suggested and Christian Williams' inmate is feared most, with Ellis Collier good value for his 8lb claim. Le Tueur can chase the duo home.

GUGUSS COLLONGES was a convincing winner at Stratford 3 weeks ago and should prove difficult to peg back. Le Tueur has a good record around here so is next best.

The veteran CALL OF THE LOON has been admirably consistent for Christian Williams and this is easier than at Huntingdon last time.

Made inauspicious hurdling debut but next two runs were quite promising; handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

12:55 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

MACTAVISH gained a deserved career first success over C&D in late October and a 5lb rise in the ratings may not prevent Matt Sheppard's gelding from completing a double. State Legend found himself with a bit too much to do when runner-up at Huntingdon last Tuesday and he isn't taken lightly racing off the same mark in this contest. Horses from the Joe Tizzard stable have generally been improving for their reappearances, so Bertie Wooster so one to note on his second run of the season.

STATE LEGEND only just failed to get up from this mark at Huntingdon last week and is taken to go one better now. Bertie Wooster is taken to build on his reappearance run over a shorter trip at Wincanton and provide the chief threat ahead of Blazing Court and last month's C&D scorer Mactavish.

This can go to STATE LEGEND, who went close off this mark on his recent handicap debut and could still have a bigger run in him.

LTO Selection:

13:00 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CHAMPAGNE ADMIRAL has good recent form and likes testing ground. Progressive, he tackles a slightly lesser maiden than the ones in which he has been placed in recently. Chiefs Kingdom is also race-fit, goes on testing ground and ran well behind a capable type at Clonmel last month. He was beaten two lengths by Simpletwistoffaith at Kilbeggan last June but is now 4lb better off. Simpletwistoffaith finished eye-catchingly on debut for a new yard in that race and while well beaten subsequently, returns from a break. Ballycallan King, running in a first-time hood, has recent form and has place claims. Ask The Bookie was placed on debut in March 2022 and returned from 547 days off with a useful effort at Galway, from which he should improve.

A repeat of the form CHAMPAGNE ADMIRAL showed when second at Fairyhouse a couple of weeks ago will likely be good enough to see him make it third time lucky over hurdles. Paul Nolan's Chiefs Kingdom looks the chief threat on the back of his Clonmel second. Ballycallan King and Simpletwistoffaith are others who could have a say.

No match for the talented An Tobar at Fairyhouse two weeks ago, CHAMPAGNE ADMIRAL faces nothing of that calibre here

LTO Selection:

13:10 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

SAO CARLOS was a strongly supported favourite when he made a winning debut in a bumper at Market Rasen and the five-year-old is a highly appealing option, with in-form Sean Bowen booked for the ride on his hurdling debut. Former point-to-pointer Aworkinprogress, a 92,000 euro-purchase, is also considered on his introduction under Rules, while Colours On Canvas also commands respect on his first run for a new yard.

French Flat winner PYROTECHNIC should be much sharper following his recent hurdles debut at Ascot, a race won by a potentially useful novice from the Nicky Henderson yard, and he earns the vote. Colours On Canvas shaped well on his sole start for previous connections in Ireland and is feared most, albeit bumper winner Sao Carlos is also accorded a good deal of respect.

Olly Murphy's SAO CARLOS could be a useful prospect. He had some decent horses behind him when winning his bumper.

Stable debut extended his run of non-completions to four; hopes rest on wind surgery.
LTO Selection:

13:20 Fakenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

A 3lb rise for BOLEYN BOY's breakthrough victory at Huntingdon last month appears to underestimate Ben Case's gelding and he rates as the one to beat. Fellow last-time-out winner Star Legend has a 7lb penalty to defy, although the four-year-old is a potential improver now upped to an extended 2m7f. He may give the selection most to think about, ahead of the in-form For Gina, who finished in front of the selection when runner-up over C&D in June.

FOR GINA appears to be going the right way judged o her reappearance second at Huntingdon and, entitled to come on for that run, she could be the answer. The one likely to offer the most resistance is Boleyn Boy, who shed his maiden tag at that course last month and while the outcome probably would've been different had Aldsworth not exited at the second-last, he also appears to be headed in the right direction. Redbridge Rosie and Star Legend look set to scrap it out for minor honours.

The penalty demands more, but STAR LEGEND can improve for today's trip. For Gina is next most preferred.

Had little to spare at Stratford last time but still commands respect, being 3-3 this term.
LTO Selection:

13:30 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

JIGGINSTOWN KING's desire to win has stood him in good stead, as seen when completing a hat-trick on his reappearance at Stratford last month. A further 2lb rise for that victory doesn't appear insurmountable and Oliver Signy's charge could be worth sticking with. Tedwin Hills proved a different proposition when making all at Huntingdon in October and the six-year-old rates an obvious threat. The downgraded Abuffalosoldier should have learned plenty from his chasing bow at Plumpton last time out and isn't dismissed either.

TEDWIN HILLS likely has even more to come over fences and can make light of an 8 lb rise for Huntingdon. Jigginstown King is the obvious threat as he goes for 4 in a row, although it will be interesting to see what the betting makes of the returning Pedley Wood, whose point win at the start of his career marks him down as a possible improver over fences for in-form Joe Tizzard.

Huntingdon scorer TEDWIN HILLS (nap) holds solid claims and is taken to defy an 8lb rise. Pedley Wood is second choice.

LTO Selection:

13:35 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CAOIMHES PET has good recent form and likes testing ground. She disappointed in two runs, including here, last January/February but returned to form last month and can cope with a 2lb rise for her Sligo placing. Top weight Splashing Out is again ridden by a 7lb claimer and while she returns from a break, ran well here on heavy ground last Christmas. Pidoyne is 3lb higher than when second at Roscommon on her last run in September but today's rider claims 7lb. Leahs Tricks is interesting running in her first handicap. She was well held in a recent Grade 3 but had won a maiden hurdle in October and today's rider claims 7lb. Bents Hollow debuts for new connections in first-time cheekpieces on reappearance while Stellar Symphony's form is on a sound surface. Barbaha Queen and Mullins Cross are capable at this level while handicap debutante Double Dating represents a leading trainer but needs to improve.

PIDOYNE resumed progress after 4 months off when beaten only by a subsequent winner at Roscommon and can go one place better. Splashing Out and Caoimhes Pet head the dangers.

This looks open and perhaps CAOIMHES PET can maintain the progress that has yielded a Killarney win and a Sligo third

LTO Selection:

13:45 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Proven over the trip and with the ground in his favour, GIT MAKER, who has won five of his eight previous races under Rules, is hard to oppose at this level and is taken to expand on his progressive profile. The selection's stablemate Super Survivor has adapted well to chasing and is feared most, while Morning Spirit is not ruled out given he has plenty of experience in this discipline and could very easily exploit any weakness show by Jamie Snowden's pair on their seasonal reappearances.

Jamie Snowden saddled the winner of this last year and fields two strong candidates in GIT MAKER and Super Survivor this time round. The latter possesses the stronger form having accounted for some decent types at Chepstow last December but it looks significant that Gavin Sheehan partners Git Maker, who has won five of his eight starts under Rules and is armed with plenty of potential. Eureka Creek and Morning Spirit, though capable, both have a point to prove at present.

Super Survivor has more to offer but the same is true of stablemate GIT MAKER (nap), the preferred mount of Gavin Sheehan.

Followed up on chasing bow at Worcester (also at around 2½m on good ground) and, having held his form well over the smaller obstacles since, he's of strong interest back in this sphere.

0-13 under rules but easily took a maiden point in April; mark has never been lower.
LTO Selection:

13:55 Fakenham Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

MY GIFT TO YOU's sole chase outing saw him gain his last victory at Worcester in August and the five-year-old has since run with credit back over the smaller obstacles. The return to this sphere may bring about some improvement and he could take advantage of a contest lacking depth on paper. Monday's Leicester winner Jacks Touch and School For Scandal appear the most likely to serve it up to the selection.

A winner of his sole previous start over fences during the summer, MY GIFT TO YOU is taken to make it 2-2 in this sphere. He has made the frame on each of his three subsequent starts back hurdling and improvement is likely now returned to the larger obstacles. School For Scandal is by no means certain to reproduce the form of his Taunton success in April but, with Jacks Touch due to run at Leicester on Monday and Calidad 0-13 under Rules, he is second choice all the same.

No surprise were My Gift To You able to recoup losses, but the temptingly handicapped CALIDAD is preferred back under rules.

LTO Selection:

14:05 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

ASTON MARTINI justified strong market support when scoring with ease on her debut in a Southwell bumper in June and looks a nice prospect for Nicky Henderson. Being from the family of Grand National winner Rule The World, she should relish the step up in trip on her hurdling bow and is fancied to maintain her unbeaten record, possibly at the main expense of the more experienced La Gomera and Chantilly Haze.

ASTON MARTINI overcame inexperience to make a successful start to her career in a Southwell bumper in June and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to follow up on her hurdle debut. La Gomera has been a bit disappointing since making an encouraging start over hurdles at Doncaster a year ago but is entitled to come on for a considerate reappearance, while Newmill Getaway remains capable of better in this sphere based on her bumper form.

Southwell bumper winner ASTON MARTINI is taken to follow up. Realisation is feared most.

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

IVANE is 6lb higher than when winning last month and might follow up. It has taken a while for him to find form but having won a similar race on testing ground at Galway, should compete again. Natural Breeze has won just once from 23 runs but is in excellent from and should also compete under a 7lb claimer. Bite That, a half-brother to Might Bite, has also won once from 23 starts and, similarly, is in-form and ridden by a 7lb claimer. Verbal Sparring ran ok in a September handicap while Petit Dejeuner debuts in handicaps on reappearance. Shean Glory was beaten long distances on recent handicap runs but is able at this level.

BITE THAT made a good return from a break at Tramore last month and can build on that and land a second success. Natural Breeze has been knocking at the door lately and is second choice ahead of last-time-out Galway winner Ivane.

Top-weight BITE THAT might be able to win his second race. He was a solid third at Tramore on his comeback run and should have improved

LTO Selection:

14:20 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

A facile winner of a conditional riders' race at Sandown nine days ago, OPERATION MANNA has a lot going for him on these terms and, given he gets weight from the rest, a quick follow-up success is a distinct possibility, especially with Cameron Iles pitching in with his 7lb claim. Benassi showed promise last season and is dangerous to underestimate despite being pulled up on his return at Chepstow last month, while Rocky Man is not dismissed with blinkers tried for the first time.

A race which to a large extent revolves around OPERATION MANNA, who will likely go in again if in anything like the same form as at Sandown. Benassi was struggling a long way out in the Silver Trophy but can bounce back faced with a less-competitive scenario and chase Tom Lacey's charge home.

Tom Lacey's OPERATION MANNA escapes a penalty for his wide-margin win at Sandown and none of his rivals ran well last time out.

(5) Pretending 5/2, Consistent in the main over hurdles last season, culminating with good second of 11 in 17f Cheltenham juvenile form. The winner and third in that race won next time so the form looks solid. Respected on return.
Split two next-time winners when second in a Cheltenham Grade 3 latest; shortlisted.
LTO Selection:

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

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

Holly appears to have been given an excellent chance by the handicapper following a 4lb drop for her seasonal return at Carlisle last month. She warrants plenty of respect, but the vote goes to PRETENDING. Lucy Wadham's filly was last seen finishing second at Cheltenham in April and remains open to improvement in this sphere. Georgi Girl and Ip Up appeal most of the remainder.

GEORGI GIRL is given a chance to build on her encouraging handicap debut effort at Hereford 15 days ago. Fellow 4-y-o Pretending ended last season with a fine run in a competitive race at Cheltenham and is second choice ahead of On Cloud Nine.

Kept to the mark of her Hereford third, GEORGI GIRL may yet prove to retain more handicapping potential than Pretending.

Norton Hill

10/3(+17%)
(1) Norton Hill 10/3, Bumper winner for Jack Barber and has made the frame all 5 completed starts in this sphere, runner-up on first start following a wind op with blinkers enlisted (retained here) in a Ffos Las maiden (21.9f, good to soft) when last seen in April. More needed back in handicap company.

(6) Aldsworth 7/2, Sold out of the Alan King yard for just £5,000 but well backed and in the process of showing improved form when falling 2 out on return/debut for new yard at Huntingdon (25f, good to soft). Likely to make a bold bid to atone for that here, provided his confidence hasn't been dented by that tumble.

(2) Kazontherazz 15/2, Remains 7 lb above the mark off which she last hit the target at Uttoxeter almost 2 years ago but largely creditable efforts since. Has undergone a wind op since latest start in August and she could have a part to play with the drying ground a plus.
Weak finisher in both runs this year but had wind surgery since; may see this out better.

Good run of form came to a grinding halt at Market Rasen last week, though, and she's probably worth taking on. Yard also saddles Fred Bear.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Norton Hill is of interest stepping up in trip for his return to handicap company having run well when second in a 2m6f maiden hurdle at Ffos Las in April, but the burden of top-weight may just be too much and the vote goes to ALDSWORTH. Robbie Llewellyn's charge looked to have the race in the bag when falling two out at Huntingdon 22 days ago and compensation could await with a clear round. Bright Sunbird and Sheila Nash are others to consider.

ALDSWORTH appeared to have matters under control when exiting at the second-last on his reappearance at Huntingdon and, granted a clear round here, compensation awaits. Next on the list is Fred Bear, who took a fierce hold when finishing a place adrift of the re-opposing Sheila Nash in a C&D handicap 15 days ago and will be a big threat if setting better this time. Sheila Nash is likely to be on the premises once again, while Sammylou is lurking on a dangerous mark and also enters calculations.

Granted a clear round, ALDSWORTH may well gain compensation for his unlucky reappearance. Norton Hill is second choice.

LTO Selection:

14:45 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SHOTGUN JACK was utterly dominant over further in Galway last month and, if in the same mood, could take a bit of beating despite going up a stone in the weights. He sluiced home by 13 lengths on soft ground in Ballybrit and the form got a boost when the horse in fifth came out and landed a handicap hurdle in Wexford. My Friend The Wind was a winner when last seen in this discipline at Ballinrobe in August. His last two runs came over fences and his fourth at Galway can be viewed in a better light after the winner's exploits at Cheltenham on Saturday. Great Island's saddle slipped in Cork, so his remote third can be marked up. Prior to that, he was a wide-margin winner over a similar trip in Gowran Park. Vintage Gold was staying on when departing at the final flight in Listowel and has a chance while Cosmic Rock made a satisfactory return in fifth at this track last month after a very lengthy absence.

It could be worth siding with KALANISI DUBH, who stepped up on her reappearance effort when sixth in a 15-runner Sligo handicap and this step back up in trip looks a potentially good move. Shotgun Jack will likely prove popular following his much-improved display at Galway where he routed the opposition. He's gone up 14 lb and drops back in trip here but the 5-y-o has to be feared all the same. Great Island is another to consider, while Mason Lady is a likely improver now handicapping.

Maybe HAPPY DREAMS can supplement his two chase wins at this track with a hurdle win off a much lower mark.

Potentially on a decent mark and he's back with his former trainer; not without hope.
LTO Selection:

14:55 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

GOOD TIME AHEAD sprang a 22/1 surprise when scoring at Fakenham last week and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him following up if he arrives in the same mood today. There is every chance of that, given he is a previous C&D winner, but Tara Iti and One Last Glance should be ready to pounce if the selection fluffs his lines.

GOOD TIME AHEAD had something to spare when scoring at Fakenham last week and, if he handles the quick turnaround, he could defy a penalty in a race where several have something to prove. Mi Sueno arrives in form and deserves respect, while handicap debutant Tellmesomethingood deserves a mention.

In an open race a chance is taken on MICKYH who has dropped to a good mark and is now back with his former yard.

LTO Selection:

15:05 Fakenham Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Extraordinary Man arrives on the back of a 2m victory at Hereford but a 4lb rise for a short-head success could leave him vulnerable here and preference is for UP FOR APPEAL, who has slipped back to a fair mark. The Christian Williams-trained gelding won off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell in August and the booking of 7lb claimer Ellis Collier could make him well treated today. Templier failed to fire when bidding for a hat-trick on his latest outing in March but would be a big player if back on song after a break.

UP FOR APPEAL shaped quite well under a patient ride when third at Hereford on chase bow and looks the way to go dropped in class. Extraordinary Man battled well when finally off the mark at Hereford 2 weeks ago and is feared most.

Back down from a 0-120 and returned to a more comfortable trip, UP FOR APPEAL (nap) can defy Hereford scorer Extraordinary Man.

15:15 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Imac Wood has taken a step back in the right direction on his last couple of outings over fences, winning at Worcester before filling the runner-up spot at Bangor, and the five-year-old boasts strong credentials once again. The vote, though, goes to KALPAGA, who shaped as if needing her first run over fences at Ludlow and she is expected to improve on this occasion. Benny Silver and Ballinoulart appeal most of the remainder.

FAMILY POT might have found his last run coming too soon so is worth another chance to build on his return back on his last winning mark. This does look competitive, though, with Imac Wood and Ballinoulart heading the dangers.

LTO Selection:

15:20 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WHAT AN OCEAN looks a likely sort for Gordon Elliott. This seven-year-old mare ran in snatches in a big field at Gowran Park, but was noted putting in good late work for fourth over 2m4f. Judging by that performance, she is well worth a shot at an extended 3m again. Danny Gilligan's 2lb claim is a bonus in this opportunity handicap hurdle. Billies Filly is up in trip, but has a shot on the back of a third place on handicap debut over 2m4f in Sligo. Well Polly won this race last year and showed a bit more form when fourth in Galway last month, so is far from out of it. Ballydangan didn't run badly in fifth at Down Royal and the winner followed up in Punchestown to enhance the form. Top-weight Kingston Kid gets first-time blinkers and Jack Gilligan lessens his burden by 4lb, while Meehall is more than capable of picking up a cheque in this grade.

BILLIES FILLY improved when third at Sligo last time and she can do better still upped in trip, so she's preferred to What An Ocean, who is well treated if able to build on her latest effort. Celine Man is also respected.

With improvement likely from her promising third at Sligo on return, BILLIES FILLY could get off the mark today.

Kyntara

9/4(+63%)
(3) Kyntara 9/4, Point/debut bumper winner who has underachieved over hurdles to this point. Has left Kim Bailey since last seen 8 months ago, so worthy of interest if the market speaks in his favour on handicap debut.
Some of his form stacks up well with a view to this mark; new yard.

(2) Feivel 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who made a winning start for the Stuart Edmunds yard in a 3m handicap chase at Wetherby in February. Let down by jumping since and seemed in need of the run back over hurdles at Aintree last month. Should be sharper here.
On a fair mark and his recent return at Aintree may have blown away the cobwebs.

Woodie Flash

(4) Woodie Flash 5/4, Irish point winner who got back on the up to double his tally over hurdles at Warwick recently, looking well suited by the longer trip. Excellent claims of following up.
Up 10lb for winning by 20l at Warwick; progressive enough to deal with that.

4th (1) Young Merlin (10/1 -25%)
Young Merlin

10/1(-25%)
(1) Young Merlin 10/1, Three-time winner on the Flat and enjoyed a good summer over hurdles, landing a hat-trick (at up to 17.2f). Has lost his form since, though.
He's run flat the last twice and there have to be stamina worries over this far.
LTO Selection:

15:28 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Kyntara has the form to go well off what looks a very workable mark, but he returns from a layoff and this looks like a good opportunity for WOODIE FLASH to complete a double. Olly Murphy's five-year-old made the most of a drop in class when running out a very easy winner over 3m2f at Warwick earlier in the month and although he has gone up 10lb for that, this doesn't look any tougher and a repeat performance should suffice. Young Merlin rates best of the rest.

WOODIE FLASH improved markedly for a step up in trip at Warwick recently and, while this isn't quite the same stamina test, he's likely to go in again. No Tackle is of interest returning to the scene of his maiden win and Kyntara is worthy of interest starting out for a new stable.

Olly Murphy's WOODIE FLASH won so well at Warwick that he might well be capable of defying the 10lb rise.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Fakenham NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

With no form to go on, the market should provide some clues in this four-runner bumper but there is plenty to like about the chances of TRAMUNTANA, who cost 60,000 euros as a three-year-old and Olly Murphy's gelding is a half-brother to 2m hurdle winner Garcon Doux. Shamardal Star is a half-brother to a Listed Flat winner and he could prove the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of Pollywiggle Quay.

TRAMUNTANA is out of a bumper winner and should be well prepared for this, so he's the obvious choice without the benefit of market clues. Shamardal Star is also worth noting.

Olly Murphy is taken to record a belated first bumper winner of the season with TRAMUNTANA, a nephew of Barizan and Baradari.

LTO Selection:

15:45 Hereford NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

RUE ST DENIS cost 75,000 euros at the Goffs Land Rover sale in June 2021 and has been brought along steadily by connections ahead of his racecourse bow. He is related to some useful jumpers, including Zamdy Man and Clyne, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him make a winning debut. Dante's Inferno finished second at Ludlow first time out and is respected along with Of Course You Can, who arrives following a wind operation.

RUE ST DENIS is from a good family and represents a top stable, so he's worth chancing first time out. Of Course You Can is a danger based on her debut form and Walkingoneggshells is worthy of consideration after winning an Irish point.

Another chance is given to OF COURSE YOU CAN, with Dante's Inferno second choice. Rue St Denis looks the pick of the newcomers.

LTO Selection:

15:55 Limerick NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FIELD A THISTLES has finished fourth in bumpers at Fairyhouse and Galway, and the form looks strong. She made her debut in the valuable Tattersalls Ireland Sales Bumper at Fairyhouse in April and was far from outclassed at 50/1. The winner of that race was last seen scoring in a Grade 3 mares' novices' hurdle at Down Royal this month. Field A Thistles reappeared at Galway in October and again ran solidly in a decent contest. She is entitled to come on from that and Jody Townend is a good booking. Ma Belle Etoile caught a tartar when a remote third over C&D last month. She is probably better judged on her debut second at Tipperary which brings her right into contention. Workinonadream has filled the runner-up berth on both occasions and should give her supporters plenty to cheer about. Killeavy Rose and Mayos Vendangeur are newcomers who are worth a market check.

WORKINONADREAM has the best form and should be able to open her account with a performance of similar merit to last time. Field A Thistles looks the main danger and Killeavy Rose would merit respect if the market spoke in her favour.

FIELD A THISTLES might be able to improve enough from her comeback at Galway to get the better of Workinonadream.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

RICH HARRY sets a clear standard of those who have raced and a repeat of last month's Newcastle third may well suffice. Groovy Baby, sister to 1m Listed winner Twist 'N' Shake, is feared most of the newcomers and Andrew Balding's filly requires close examination in the market. As does 350,000gns-purchase Fun Loving, who may well appreciate further in time but this looks a good starting point for the daughter of Le Havre.

FUN LOVING and Champagne Prince were both expensive buys and are newcomers who stand out on paper. Fun Loving is just preferred before market clues. Rich Harry has been pretty consistent and has the form to play a part in first-time cheekpieces.

Rich Harry looks vulnerable to a useful newcomer and CHAMPAGNE PRINCE may prove the answer.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

FORGOTTEN TREASURE produced her best effort to date when third at Chelmsford on her second attempt in a nursery. The daughter of Ten Sovereigns remains on the same mark and she may be able to capitalise on this occasion. Nouveaux won on her penultimate start at Chelmsford before being caught too wide at the same venue when one place behind the selection last time. She can enter the reckoning, while Arlington and Gogo Yubari are others worth noting.

Though she hasn't pulled up any trees in three starts so far, OUR MELODY could be about to take a big step forward now pitched into a nursery off what looks a reasonable mark, all things considered. She represents an in-form yard and confidence behind her in the betting would look significant. Torvar looks dangerous judged on the form of his penultimate start at Newcastle (didn't get the breaks at the same course next time) and he is second choice ahead of Nouveaux and Forgotten Treasure.

Preference is for FORGOTTEN TREASURE (nap), who's improved with racing and may get this run to suit. Nouveaux should go well too.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SIRIUS WHITE appeared revitalised by a 136-day break when winning with real authority at this venue earlier in the month and a 6lb rise in the handicap may not be enough to prevent the four-year-old from completing a brace. Fellow last-time-out winner Struck Gold must shoulder a 6lb penalty for his victory at Wolverhampton, which may be enough to thwart him from going in again, and a bigger threat expected to come from recent C&D winner For Real, who has only been nudged up 2lb.

If STRUCK GOLD is in the same form as at Wolverhampton he might be able to defy a 6 lb penalty. Channel Packet had a quick turnaround as a possible excuse here last time and is second choice ahead of Ceilidh King, who is one to monitor closely in the betting on his first outing for the Jack Jones yard.

Warrior Square still has potential but STRUCK GOLD looked well suited by the step up in trip last week and he can defy his penalty.

LTO Selection:

17:45 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

JUNGLE JIM has shown promise on a couple of occasions, with placed efforts at Thirsk and Bath the standout efforts, and this may be the ideal opportunity for him to strike. Bint Alfella shaped with a fair amount of ability when runner-up at Beverley in August and she commands the utmost respect. Cervaro Della Sala is also capable of a decent showing.

BINT ALFELLA shaped well on debut and should step forward sufficiently to take one of these. Miss Anya and Cervaro Della Sala are far more exposed but have the form to be in the mix.

Jungle Jim may be the one to get to the front. Either way BINT ALFELLA is given the chance to build on her pleasing turf debut.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

TRADESMAN recorded a career-best performance when completing a double here last month and David Simcock's charge is hard to oppose on his current upward trajectory. A 7lb hike in the ratings for the four-year-old does give some hope to chief rival A Poet's Secret, who has only received a 2lb rise in the handicap for his recent Lingfield victory. De Vega's Warrior has fallen to an attractive mark and is another to consider on the return to 2m.

TRADESMAN has been successful on his last 3 visits here and might be able to defy the handicapper again. Grand Duchess Olga is another who has discovered the winning habit here lately and is second choice ahead of De Vega's Warrior.

The strongest claims are held by TRADESMAN (nap). He seems ideally suited to this track and can make light of this step up in class.

LTO Selection:

18:15 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

It has taken NATURE WATCH enough time to get to the racecourse, but the son of Curlin, who cost a fair amount when purchased in Dubai as a juvenile, has been found a nice opportunity to make a winning start to his career. There wasn't much between Karriewhitchit (fifth) and Assail (sixth) when the pair met at Chelmsford last month and the pair are entitled to step forward from their respective debuts.

NIGHT WATCH cost a pretty packet when resold earlier this year and ticks plenty of boxes, not unexpecedly for a Godolphin newcomer. Karrieutwhitchit and Assail ran to a fair level on debut and are open to improvement, so either could take advantage if the selection doesn't live up to his paper potential.

Nature Watch may prove a cut above these rivals but KARRIEWHITCHIT ran well in the face of obvious inexperience on debut.

(7) Celsius 66/1, Seven wins from 27 Flat runs. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good, 12/1). Off 6 months.
Had some layoffs since 2021 & he'll need to be cherry ripe on return from another break.
LTO Selection:

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BALDOMERO has been knocking on the door recently at Kempton, placing on both starts there this month, and Mick Appleby's gelding, who is 2lb higher on this occasion, deserves to get his head back in front. The return to handicap company is a big positive for Zaman Jemil, who contested a Listed event at Redcar last month, while Justcallmepete wasn't far behind the selection in fourth last time and he is expected to be in the mix.

BALDOMERO added to an ultra-reliable profile on the AW since dropped back in trip when just denied at Kempton 2 weeks ago and another bold bid looks on the cards. Justcallmepete and Zaman Jemil are feared most.

Zaman Jemil still has some potential upside but BALDOMERO is banging at the door and this track should suit him well.

LTO Selection:

18:45 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 4) 9f Race Class Flow

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

DUBAI MELODY was sent off as a well-backed favourite on her debut at Newmarket 17 days ago and, with the quick turnaround suggesting that she has come out of that race well, the daughter of Dubawi is taken to build on that respectable second-placed finish. Strutting has a similar profile, despite not yet living up to her 425,000gns purchase price tag, while her stablemate Twin Peaks won't need to be out of the ordinary to figure on her debut run.

Having caught the eye on her debut at Newmarket in September, CHORUS tops the list in this novice event, which is likely to throw up a number of future winners. Dubai Melody also made a positive start to her career on the Rowley Mile and she is feared most. Twin Peaks is the only member of the quartet trained by the Gosdens that has yet to race but she makes plenty of appeal on paper and could be the pick of them ahead of Strutting, while De Ville and Windcrack are other noteworthy newcomers.

A cracking fillies' novice (in which the Gosden yard saddles four) can go to CHORUS, who shaped nicely behind Strutting on debut.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

DICKO THE LEGEND benefited from the extra furlong when scoring over C&D earlier in the month and the three-year-old, who remains unexposed as a sprinter, looks to have scope for further progression. Araifjan is another recent C&D winner who is likely to enter calculations once again, despite the handicapper raising him 5lb for that recent success. Agostino finally got off the mark here last month and he is capable of a decent showing, along with Habooba.

AGOSTINO looked well suited by a switch to front-running tactics when finally getting off the mark over C&D last time and might be able to dominate again from a handy inside stall. Mokaatil really should be up to making his presence felt in a 0-65 and is second choice ahead of C&D specialist Araifjan.

Ultramarine and MOKAATIL can prove more potent forces at Class 6 level, particularly the selection who shaped nicely last time.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The betting will be informative with regards to the newcomers, but WARMING showed some promise with a respectable effort on debut at Chelmsford 12 days ago and, granted a sharper start, she is likely to be a key player with that experience to draw upon. Wren Officer has also hinted at ability, while Juan Solo seemed to appreciate dropping to this trip at Wolverhampton and is another to bear in mind.

PABORUS stayed on nicely from an unpromising position when fourth at Thirsk on debut and he's open to improvement 3 months on. As such, he's marginally preferred to Laser Sharp and Warming, who also arrive on the back of encouraging initial efforts.

Preference is for LASER SHARP, who found a slow start from a wide stall too much to overcome on debut.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

MICK'S SPIRIT has returned to form on his last few outings, building on a string of placed efforts to score over C&D at the end of last month, and the five-year-old makes a considerable amount of appeal, especially with his rider's claim. Josies Kid has been running well since returning from a break and he is likely to enter the reckoning, while others for the shortlist include So Sleepy and Diomed Spirit.

STREET PARADE would have gone very close had he not met trouble over C&D 11 days ago and can make amends off the same mark. This does look competitive, though, headed by last-time-out winners Mick's Spirit and Josies Kid.

Mick's Spirit and DIOMED SPIRIT look the most appealing options and the latter can follow up his smooth Wolverhampton success.

LTO Selection:

19:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A close second in a similar race at Newcastle 10 days ago, BAZBALL has held her form well and, given she is still unexposed at the trip, Karl Burke's filly offers strong appeal off just 2lb higher this evening. Call Glory is another notable contender on just his second start for the Mick Appleby stable as he appears to be on an upwards trajectory, while the hat-trick seeking Monks Dream is also respected now he steps into handicap company for the first time.

MONKS DREAM is 2 from 2 on AW and, with further improvement on the cards, he takes preference over Bazball, who finished well when runner-up at Newcastle last time. Specific Times is another one to consider.

Newcastle winner GUNFIGHTER remains open to improvement having been gelded. Bazball is a danger.

Louisiana Bay

6/1(+40%)
(8) Louisiana Bay 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 18/1) 29 days ago.
Handicap debut wasn't without promise and she still has potential after just four starts.

4th (4) Oriental Art (3/1 -33%)
Oriental Art

3/1(-33%)
(4) Oriental Art 3/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Won 11-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 9/2) 42 days ago. Enters calculations.
23rd time lucky when winning a 1m4f handicap at Southwell latest; still on a fair mark.
5th
5th (5) Eton College (28/1 -250%)
Eton College

28/1(-250%)
(5) Eton College 28/1, First run since leaving Jamie Osborne when creditable third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 12/1) 20 days ago, having run of race. Back up in trip.
Two turf wins for J Osborne this summer; enjoyed soft lead when only third on stable debut.
6th
6th (2) Jenson Benson (9/2 +36%)
Jenson Benson

9/2(+36%)
(2) Jenson Benson 9/2, 4-time course winner. Third of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Salisbury (7f, good). Off 97 days. Significantly back up in trip. Has good chance on pick of form on return.
Conditions to suit and on a competitive mark but no history of going well after a break.
7th
7th (7) Liberated Lad (25/1 -150%)
Liberated Lad

25/1(-150%)
(7) Liberated Lad 25/1, 3 wins from 16 runs this year. Latest win at Nottingham in August. 11/2, ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago, needing stiffer test.
Below par over C&D ten days ago; on a winning mark but there are risks involved.
8th
8th (6) Glencalvie (50/1 -150%)
Glencalvie

50/1(-150%)
(6) Glencalvie 50/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, thirteenth of 15 in handicap (25/1) at Newmarket (8f, soft) 18 days ago. Up in trip. Difficult ask.
No progress for this yard and the step up in trip needs to turn things around.
LTO Selection:

20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Both Oriental Art and KENTUCKY KINGDOM arrive on the back of successful performances, but the the latter strikes as the better equipped to cope with the rise in the weights and is fancied to hold sway off 4lb higher than his Lingfield victory a fortnight ago. Joe Leavy has a solid rapport with the selection and, given the gelding is already a three-time C&D winner, everything seems to be in place for another bold showing. Eton College and Semser are a couple of others to consider.

JENSON BENSON ran his best race on turf when third at Salisbury when last seen 3 months ago and is potentially on a good mark back on AW. Kentucky Kingdom has won 2 of his last 3 starts so must be feared as he bids for a fourth C&D success, with Oriental Art best of the others after finally breaking his duck at Southwell.

Kentucky Kingdom comes here in top form but SEMSER may be the answer back up to his optimum trip.

5/6(+53%)
(1) Pedro Valentino 5/6, Promising individual. Fifth of 13 in minor event at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy, 7/1) on debut 41 days ago. May well do better.
Single-figure price for his Nottingham debut on soft ground; is entitled to improve.

War Bride

(5) War Bride 11/1, Foaled April 8. £42,000 yearling, Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to minor winner abroad by Starspangledbanner. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner. Worth monitoring in the betting.
£42,000 yearling whose trainer is just 3-128 with 2yos in Britain this year; market useful.

Inner Temple

11/8(-89%)
(4) Inner Temple 11/8, Promising type. 15/2, third of 12 in maiden at this C&D on debut 8 days ago, very slowly away. Obvious claims.
Plenty to like about last Monday's C&D debut third; his claims are obvious.

(2) Blue Balle 33/1, Once-raced colt. 28/1, last of 14 in maiden at Naas (7f, good to soft) on debut 68 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell.
Last on his 7f Irish debut; is a rare 2yo runner for his new, jumps-oriented yard.
5th
5th (6) One Moonbeam (100/1 -300%)
One Moonbeam

(6) One Moonbeam 100/1, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 11 in maiden (66/1) at this C&D 15 days ago, not knocked about. Hard to fancy.
Big prices for two starts this autumn; likely she'll find life easier once handicapping.

Rishi

(3) Rishi 40/1, Twice-raced gelding. 80/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 17 days ago.
Twice shown little round Chelmsford (missed the kick from ordinary stalls each time).
LTO Selection:

20:15 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

INNER TEMPLE displayed signs of inexperience before running on well to grab third over C&D last Monday and Archie Watson's colt wouldn't need to improve much from that effort to shed the maiden tag this evening. Pedro Valentino wasn't disgraced on his first start at Nottingham and is entitled to step forward from that display, while newcomer War Bride, a 42,000-pound purchase, completes the shortlist.

INNER TEMPLE sets the standard and has the potential for better, so he gets the nod over Pedro Valentino, who shaped with encouragement on debut at Nottingham. War Bride is an interesting newcomer.

Arguably an unlucky loser on his C&D debut early last week, INNER TEMPLE is preferred to Pedro Valentino.

(5) Rosa Chinensis 9/2, 15/2, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 47 days ago. Not without each-way hope but others are preferred from a win point of view.
Consistent rather than progressive; needs to better latest seventh in a similar C&D event.

(4) Emma Emilleen 7/2, Creditable second of 8 in handicap at this course (8f, 5/2) 24 days ago. This step back up in trip is of dubious benefit and others make more appeal.
0-8 but can win races at this level; return to 1m2f shouldn't be a hindrance; contender.

Turner Girl

8/1(+0%)
(1) Turner Girl 8/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Wolverhampton (14f) 19 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Down in trip and should make her presence felt.
Two wins over further; comes here in top form but drop in trip asks new question of her.

Pearly Star

10/1(+17%)
(11) Pearly Star 10/1, Winner at Chester in June. 11/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 21 days ago. Merits respect on this polytrack debut but not sure that moving up in trip will work in her favour.
Consistent 7.5f turf winner; new trip needs to have a positive effect for her to take this.

5th (6) Night At Sea (10/1 -25%)
Night At Sea

10/1(-25%)
(6) Night At Sea 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, respectable third of 11 in maiden at Newcastle (12.4f) 19 days ago. Needs to raise her game now handicapping/switched to polytrack.
Perhaps needed her recent return and she has untapped potential now handicapping.
6th
6th (2) Brassavola (12/1 -20%)
Brassavola

12/1(-20%)
(2) Brassavola 12/1, 10/3, first run since leaving H-A. Pantall when eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) on UK debut 27 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Couldn't be sure that this step up in trip is what she wants.
Only midfield on stable debut but that is strong form and today's trip could spark extra.
7th

Clipsham Gold

(3) Clipsham Gold 11/1, Good second of 7 in handicap at this course (8f, 10/1) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Shapes as though this new trip will be within range and she's high on the shortlist.
Four-time winner at up to 8.5f; 2nd over 1m here last time; stamina not assured up to 1m2f.

Two wins over further last season; fair run at Windsor latest; drop in trip a query.
9th
9th (10) Eloped (20/1 -43%)
Eloped

20/1(-43%)
(10) Eloped 20/1, 125/1, tailed-off seventh of 8 to One Evening in listed race at Bath (14f, heavy) 34 days ago. Back down in trip on debut for new yard and, faced with a more realistic assignment back on the AW, she's not discounted.
Progressive for H Palmer this summer; latest run can be ignored; still not fully exposed.
10th
10th (8) Corymbosa (14/1 -180%)
Corymbosa

14/1(-180%)
(8) Corymbosa 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 8/1, fifth of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW) 76 days ago. Needs to improve but, as a well-bred filly from a top yard, that is entirely possible now pitched into a handicap off a lowly mark.
Too keen upped to 1m4f last time; makes handicap debut at a realistic level; can do better.
11th
11th (7) So Farhh So Good (7/1 +50%)
So Farhh So Good

7/1(+50%)
(7) So Farhh So Good 7/1, 9/1, last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, heavy) 41 days ago. Back down in trip and this 7-race maiden is likely to find a few too good once more.
Placed off 7lb higher on handicap debut in July but less good since; others look safer.
12th
12th (9) Rogue Warrior (10/1 -100%)
Rogue Warrior

10/1(-100%)
(9) Rogue Warrior 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/2, third of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (8f) 35 days ago. Back up in trip for this handicap debut and she's one to consider.
Clear promise at up to 1m2f in novice/maiden runs; capable of better now handicapping.
LTO Selection:

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

NIGHT AT SEA can make strides forward now she steps into handicap company and, with her match-fitness topped up by a spin around Newcastle earlier in the month, Andrew Balding's three-year-old rates as a live contender from a very workable mark. Fellow handicap debutant Rogue Warrior is another open to any amount of improvement, while Emma Emilleen and Pearly Star also enter calculations.

CLIPSHAM GOLD posted her best effort since joining this yard when runner-up over a mile here a fortnight ago and, with this stiffer test expected to be in her favour, she could be the answer to what looks a wide-open handicap. It would be no surprise to see improvement from handicap debutantes Corymbosa and Rogue Warrior, while Eloped is of interest back down in class and returned to the all-weather having understandably struggled in listed company on turf last time.

An open race in which BRASSAVOLA is given another chance now stepping up in trip. Emma Emilleen is feared most.

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.
