2	2 (2) (6/1 -9%) Foster'sisland		6 6/1(-9%)																															(2) Foster'sisland 6/1, Likeable type who found a bit more improvement to land a Bangor handicap in March and shaped as if better for the run when fifth at Carlisle on reappearance. Should be spot on now. Four of six wins were on soft, unraced on heavy; better on return than 18l defeat suggests.
3	3 (3) (7/1 +30%) Romeo Brown		7 7/1(+30%)																															(3) Romeo Brown 7/1, Proved better than ever to spring a 50/1 surprise in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Aintree last December. Ran out at Huntingdon in January but shaped as if back in form before falling heavily 3 out at Doncaster on final start. 2m4f winner at Aintree one year ago; fortunes subsided on last three outings.
4	4 (4) (7/2 +53%) Barrichello		3.5 7/2(+53%)																															(4) Barrichello 7/2, Four-time hurdle winner in 2022 who also ran well in defeat over fences first 3 outings last term. Ended the season with a rare poor run at Kelso and shaped as if needing the run at Sedgefield on reappearance in October. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Three lesser displays back hurdling (one this term) and he's now tongue tied first time.
5	5 (5) (11/4 +21%) Lebowski		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(5) Lebowski 11/4, 3-time hurdle winner for Michael Scudamore, including on return to action at Wetherby (2m, soft) last December. Essentially disappointing thereafter and he did too much too soon on return/yard debut following a breathing op at Chepstow (2m) in October. Up in trip with a tongue strap refitted. Needs a revival but he's on the same mark as for latest win one year ago.
6	6 (6) (15/8 +44%) Issam		1.875 15/8(+44%)																															(6) Issam 15/8, Successful twice over hurdles in France and off the mark for current connections at Exeter (18.5f) in March. Shaped much better than bare result when third on Sandown return (19.8f, soft) last month and holds strong claims here. Question to answer on heavy ground; probably well handicapped if back to his best.

LTO Selection:

Marginal preference is for ISSAM. Tom Symonds' gelding ended his last campaign with a victory at Exeter in March and he was not disgraced when third on his return at Sandown last month. With the benefit of that outing, the five-year-old could be hard to stop. Cases can be made for all of the remainder but Barrichello is the pick of them, while three-time hurdle winner Lebowski is noted too.

ISSAM got his act together for his current yard towards the end of last season and, having shaped much better than the bare result (led on bridle before 2 out) on his return at Sandown last month, he's put forward as the answer for a yard which has been showing more positive signs. Molly Ollys Wishes beat all bar a progressive one on her most recent outing at Wetherby and is feared most ahead of Foster'sisland, who should be spot on following his Carlisle reappearance.

The withdrawal of Molly Ollys Wishes puts ISSAM at the top of the list, followed by Foster'sisland.

3	3 (3) (6/4 -105%) Iddergem		1.5 6/4(-105%)																															(3) Iddergem 6/4, Didn't need to be at best when winning 4-runner selling hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, heavy, 9/4) 34 days ago by 3 lengths from Laser Focus. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Every chance he'll follow up. Quickened away to beat Laser Focus by 3l in a 2m2f soft-ground claimer at Stratford.
6	6 (6) (11/1 -100%) Tip Top Tonto		11 11/1(-100%)																															(6) Tip Top Tonto 11/1, Fair form at best but he arrives out of sorts, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon a month ago. Drops in grade with blinkers applied. Now into his first claimer but with a lot to prove all of a sudden; blinkers tried.
7	7 (7) (11/10 +83%) Uncle Arthur		1.1 11/10(+83%)																															(7) Uncle Arthur 11/10, Poor maiden hurdler who has threatened a bigger effort on occasions but again found little at Taunton last time. Down in grade with tongue strap refitted, so no forlorn hope. Hasn't progressed over hurdles and his tendency to race too freely isn't helping matters.
2	2 (2) (11/1 +56%) Zuraig		11 11/1(+56%)																															(2) Zuraig 11/1, Winner of a Leicester seller on the Flat in May, but has otherwise struggled on the level this year and he hasn't cut much ice over hurdles. Flat winner in May but will need to step up on his recent handicap efforts over hurdles.
5	5 (5) (17/2 -209%) Laser Focus		8.5 17/2(-209%)																															(5) Laser Focus 17/2, A fair maiden hurdler for Henry De Bromhead but below that level so far for current stable. Can't be fully dismissed in a weak race, however. Has something to find with Iddergem on their Stratford clash; twice below par since.
4	4 (4) (80/1 -60%) Brackenmix		80 80/1(-60%)																															(4) Brackenmix 80/1, £13,000 6-y-o, Fair Mix gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Midnight Moss. Fourth sole start in points (Mar 2019). Remote fourth in a point in 2019 on his sole previous sighting.
1	1 (1) (150/1 -127%) Protector Pete		150 150/1(-127%)																															(1) Protector Pete 150/1, Half-brother to useful hurdler/fair chaser Petrastar but offered nothing in a novice hurdle at Sedgefield last month. Lost touch and pulled up when 150-1 for a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield.
8	8 (8) (250/1 -150%) Tara Vango		250 250/1(-150%)																															(8) Tara Vango 250/1, Well beaten on debut in a bumper during the summer and didn't fare any better switched to hurdles at Hereford. Hard to warm to. Tailed off in a bumper and novice hurdle; has too much to prove.

LTO Selection:

---

The form of IDDERGEM's three-length victory over Laser Focus in a Stratford selling hurdle has a very moderate look about it but it could certainly hold the key to this contest. Both geldings are fitted with cheekpieces for the first time but as the winner was returning from a 464-day absence at Stratford, he is taken to confirm the form and complete a double. Tip Top Tonto has pulled up on his two latest outings but if the application of blinkers has the desired effect, then he could easily go close in what looks a modest contest.

IDDERGEM had something to spare when landing a seller at Stratford last month and all of his rivals have questions to answer in one way or another, so he's an obvious choice. Uncle Arthur is a threat if he can see the race out better and Tip Top Tonto can feature if blinkers have a positive effect.

The only runner with no glaring questions to answer is IDDERGEM who fairly readily repelled Laser Focus at Stratford.

3	3 (3) (5/4 +29%) Fair Point		1.25 5/4(+29%)																															(3) Fair Point 5/4, Farhh filly. 2/1, displayed promise when third of 10 at Newmarket (7f, heavy) on debut 32 days ago, upsides over 1f out and no extra final 100 yds. In excellent hands and she looks sure to progress. Big player. Showed plenty of promise at Newmarket last month and she's respected upped in trip.
2	2 (2) (7/4 +13%) Completed		1.75 7/4(+13%)																															(2) Completed 7/4, Promising type. Evens, second of 12 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) 37 days ago, running on and just failing. Should have more to offer, particularly with this step up to 1m expected to unlock further progress. Has gone close in both her runs and is open to more progress up in trip; big player.
4	4 (4) (7/2 +13%) Friendly Soul		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(4) Friendly Soul 7/2, Foaled May 14. Kingman filly. Half-sister to numerous winners, including very smart 1½m-2½m winner Call The Wind, 1m winner With You and 1m-1¼m winner We Are. Makes obvious appeal on paper for top yard. Half-sister to three Group 1 winners and she's a very interesting newcomer.
8	8 (8) (18/1 -29%) Twin Peaks		18 18/1(-29%)																															(8) Twin Peaks 18/1, Hails from a very talented family and she duly offered something to work on when midfield in 11-runner Wolverhampton novice (8.6f) on debut 15 days ago. Type to progress for leading stable. Sister to Oaks winner Anapurna but was a remote sixth at Wolverhampton on recent debut.
9	9 (9) (22/1 -214%) Windcrack		22 22/1(-214%)																															(9) Windcrack 22/1, Foaled March 8. Cracksman filly. Dam, 1½m winner, closely related to smart winner up to 14.4f Duretto out of useful 9f-1½m winner Landinium. Lots to like on paper and confidence behind her in the betting on debut would need to be viewed positively. Out of a fair 1m4f AW winner; has good target to aim at on debut and market will guide.
6	6 (6) (25/1 -56%) Private Getaway		25 25/1(-56%)																															(6) Private Getaway 25/1, Once-raced maiden. Third of 14 in maiden (33/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 84 days ago, faring best of the newcomers. Changed hands for 15,000 gns the following month and she should have more to offer. Third at Kempton in September but was beaten 8l and needs major improvement for new yard.
7	7 (7) (50/1 -100%) Tumbleweed		50 50/1(-100%)																															(7) Tumbleweed 50/1, Time Test filly. Very green and ultimately never involved when seventh of 8 in minor event at Leicester (8.2f, good, 11/1) on debut 57 days ago, slowly away. Yard hold stronger claims with Fair Point. Bred to be useful but she made a low-key start at Leicester; stablemate of Fair Point.
1	1 (1) (125/1 -400%) Bas Bleu		125 125/1(-400%)																															(1) Bas Bleu 125/1, Foaled April 25. 22,000 gns foal, Masar filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 1¼m winner Sea Grey. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 10.4f Frankuus. Betting ought to prove a useful guide ahead of debut. 22,000gns foal; this looks a tough starting point and he's drawn out wide.
5	5 (5) (250/1 -150%) Marmalade Lady		250 250/1(-150%)																															(5) Marmalade Lady 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, eighth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago, weakening from 2f out having still looked in need of experience. Likely longer-term project. Struggled in two novice events at around 1m last month; can only be watched.

LTO Selection:

---

Completed has been narrowly denied on both of her previous outings and merits the utmost respect once again. That said, marginal preference is for FAIR POINT, who put in a promising display when third on her debut at Newmarket a month ago and the daughter of Farhh should only benefit from that experience. Friendly Soul is a half-sister to three Group 1 winners and has to be of interest on her racecourse bow as a result.

FAIR POINT showed plenty to work on faced with difficult conditions when third on debut at Newmarket 32 days ago and she shades the vote to build on that and score now. Completed has shown enough herself to think a race of this nature is within her grasp and is a serious threat. Friendly Soul and Windcrack are newcomers to note.

An interesting race in which FAIR POINT gets the vote ahead of Completed and the Gosdens' striking newcomer Friendly Soul.

5	5 (5) (4/1 -60%) Spirits Bay		4 4/1(-60%)																															(5) Spirits Bay 4/1, Made it 2-3 in bumpers and looked a useful prospect when going in at Hereford in March. Promising start over hurdles behind another above-average sort at Sandown last month and makes plenty of appeal with improvement on the cards. Second in maiden at Sandown (2m, soft) last month, building up a head of steam late on.
2	2 (2) (7/4 +36%) Lump Sum		1.75 7/4(+36%)																															(2) Lump Sum 7/4, Looked above average in bumpers and made a most impressive start to hurdling when winning a novice at Ffos Las on the bridle a fortnight ago. Looks capable of much better and worth a chance to follow up. 2-5, easily won six-runner maiden at Ffos Las (2m, soft) despite jumping none too fluently.
1	1 (1) (9/2 +10%) Helnwein		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(1) Helnwein 9/2, Third on his only start in points. Useful bumper winner who made a successful switch to hurdling at Warwick last month. Merits respect. Both wins on soft; had to work at 10-11 in 17-runner novice at Warwick (2m) for latest.
3	3 (3) (11/4 +8%) Personal Ambition		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(3) Personal Ambition 11/4, Promising sort who made a winning NH debut in 12-runner novice hurdle at Warwick (19f, heavy) 29 days ago. Should be more to come and will likely prove hard to beat. Jumping was not foot-perfect at Warwick (2m3f, soft) but he looked an exciting prospect.
4	4 (4) (14/1 -115%) Bertie's Ballet		14 14/1(-115%)																															(4) Bertie's Ballet 14/1, Useful dual bumper winner last season and made a solid start to hurdling when second at Wetherby last month, finishing with running left. More to come. 2-5 in bumpers; promising second in an introductory hurdle at Wetherby (2m, heavy).
6	6 (6) (33/1 -106%) Taras Halls		33 33/1(-106%)																															(6) Taras Halls 33/1, Bumper winner for Lucy Wadham but fell in a novice at Wetherby on hurdling debut a week ago. Seemingly none the worse for that given the quick turnaround, so not completely dismissed. Remote in Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April; fell at the third one week ago for new yard.

LTO Selection:

---

PERSONAL AMBITION readily accounted for the subsequent Newbury winner Jingko Blue on his Rules debut at Warwick a month ago and Ben Pauling's gelding clearly sets the standard based on that evidence. Lump Sum had plenty in hand when scoring on his hurdling bow recently and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Spirits Bay and Helnwein.

LUMP SUM barely came out of first gear when easing to a wide-margin success on hurdling debut at Ffos Las and he's worth chancing to go in again for all that this is much tougher. Personal Ambition is a big danger and Spirits Bay should make his presence felt in what looks a fascinating contest on paper.

Choosing between these highly promising sorts is not easy but PERSONAL AMBITION is narrowly preferred to Spirits Bay.

4	4 (4) (4/1 +20%) Fantastikas		4 4/1(+20%)																															(4) Fantastikas 4/1, Progressive as a novice chaser last term but disappointed last season and flopped having been well backed on his comeback run at Newton Abbot in October. Perhaps needed his reappearance and he's become very well handicapped.
5	5 (5) (7/2 +68%) My Bobby Dazzler		3.5 7/2(+68%)																															(5) My Bobby Dazzler 7/2, Fairly useful over hurdles and dug deep to make a successful start over fences at Worcester in June. Well held at Newbury after 5 months off 4 weeks ago but might have needed it. Unlikely to be granted a soft lead and needs to bounce back from his Newbury defeat.
3	3 (3) (9/1 -260%) Hidden Heroics		9 9/1(-260%)																															(3) Hidden Heroics 9/1, Winner of first 2 starts over fences last season, making all in small-field novice handicaps at Exeter and Cheltenham. Pretty disappointing since, though was in the process of running better when falling at the last at Ascot 12 days ago (likely to have finished not far behind the runner-up). In the process of a definite return to form when coming down late on at Ascot.
1	1 (1) (11/4 -38%) Laskalin		2.75 11/4(-38%)																															(1) Laskalin 11/4, Ex-French winner who returned after a wind op/10 months off with an emphatic success in this race last year. Ended the season on a whimper but step back in the right direction at Carlisle on return. Much better expected now. Last year's winner and a strong form contender if back to anything like his best.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +54%) Stellar Magic		6.5 13/2(+54%)																															(2) Stellar Magic 13/2, Fairly useful hurdler who won his only outing in points and offered something to work on starting out with a new yard (formerly with Philip Hobbs & Johnson White) when third at Huntingdon on chase bow/return. Promising stable/chase debut at Huntingdon despite some noticeable market weakness.
7	7 (7) (15/2 +0%) Dreaming Blue		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(7) Dreaming Blue 15/2, Opened his chase account at Doncaster (20.5f) in March but was let down by his jumping next 2 starts. Below form after 6 months off at Wincanton 25 days ago but should come on for that. Well below par the last twice; tries a new trip but he's not bred for it.
6	6 (6) (17/2 -13%) Taste The Fear		8.5 17/2(-13%)																															(6) Taste The Fear 17/2, Fairly useful winning hurdler who came good at the fifth time of asking over fences when shading a tight finish at Doncaster in January. Held his form well after and respected if ready to go after 7 months off/wind op. On a competitive mark if returning from further wind surgery in good order.

LTO Selection:

---

HIDDEN HEROICS was still in contention when falling at the last fence at Ascot on his latest outing and is taken to gain compensation here, although his four wins under Rules have all been on ground no worse than good to soft and any worsening in conditions may temper enthusiasm. The Venetia Williams yard is in fine form at present so despite a disappointing return to action at Carlisle, Laskalin's prospects of repeating last year's victory in this race must be respected off only a 3lb higher handicap mark.Taste The Fear was running creditably in the spring but is returning after wind surgery and a 228-day absence.

LASKALIN won this last year off 3 lb lower and is expected to make another bold bid having taken a step back in the right direction at Carlisle on his return. Dreaming Blue has dropped to a decent mark and should come on for his return, while Hidden Heroics was in the process of running well falling at the last at Ascot recently.

A competitive handicap. Hidden Heroics is feared but FANTASTIKAS will surely come good again sooner or later off his tumbling mark.

3	3 (3) (7/2 +22%) Julia Augusta		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(3) Julia Augusta 7/2, Good second of 9 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 16 days ago, carried left final 100 yds and just failing. One to be interested in on that evidence now tackling this trip for the first time. Went close at Kempton last time and she's open to more progress at this new trip.
5	5 (5) (9/2 +25%) Queen Regent		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(5) Queen Regent 9/2, Landed a Newcastle novice (1m) on second start in February and best efforts since have come on AW, finding for pressure when good second over this trip at Chelmsford (10f) 4 weeks ago. 2 lb higher now but certainly not out of things. Resumed her progress with a close second at Chelmsford last month; respected up 2lb.
4	4 (4) (9/4 +36%) Whispering Words		2.25 9/4(+36%)																															(4) Whispering Words 9/4, Lightly-raced winner, off the mark at Newmarket (1m) in August. Improved further in defeat subsequently, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 60 days ago, nearest at the finish. May do better still. Eyecatcher on her handicap debut at Newmarket and this 3yo still has untapped potential.
6	6 (6) (9/2 -29%) Oh So Grand		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(6) Oh So Grand 9/2, 3 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (10/3) at Newcastle (10.2f) 50 days ago, quickening clear 1f out. Merits consideration. Made it 3-6 when scoring at Newcastle in October and she's open to more improvement.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -140%) Prenup		12 12/1(-140%)																															(7) Prenup 12/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Sandown in August. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm, 14/1) 60 days ago, having run of race. Yard enjoying a good spell and she ought to give another good account. Three wins this year and placed in Class 2 handicaps last twice; shouldn't be far away.
1	1 (1) (16/1 -45%) Rousay		16 16/1(-45%)																															(1) Rousay 16/1, 3¼ lengths fifth of 7 to Blue Trail in listed race (12/1) at this C&D (AW) 18 days ago, not disgraced in face of stiff task. Still, this rates a tough enough ask now operating from career-high mark. Listed winner last year but hasn't been at her very best in 2023; others preferred.
2	2 (2) (16/1 -33%) Lakota Sioux		16 16/1(-33%)																															(2) Lakota Sioux 16/1, Landed Group 3 Sweet Solera Stakes during a mixed 2-y-o campaign. Fitter for belated return when fifth in listed fillies' event at Newcastle (10.2f) 2 weeks ago, typically flashing her tail. Others make more appeal on balance now handicapping. Ran well in a Listed race at Newcastle last time and is in the mix on her handicap debut.
8	8 (8) (16/1 -33%) Bint Al Daar		16 16/1(-33%)																															(8) Bint Al Daar 16/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 22 days ago, leading under pressure final 100 yds and responding well. Well suited by emphasis on speed then and this rates tougher. Won at Wolverhampton last time but this is much tougher from wide draw; has work to do.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -127%) Rosa Chinensis		50 50/1(-127%)																															(9) Rosa Chinensis 50/1, 9/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 15 days ago, leading inside final 1f and driven out. More on her plate in this stronger company operating from out of the weights. Won at Chelmsford last time but she's 9lb higher from out of the weights here; opposable.

LTO Selection:

---

LAKOTA SIOUX was a Group 3-winning juvenile and, while she has not matched that level subsequently, her most recent fifth in a Listed race suggests that a mark of 96 should be workable. The unexposed Whispering Words was disappointing on turf at Newmarket last time but it is far too soon to be writing her off. Julia Augusta was only beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton recently and is another to consider.

An interesting affair with the vote in favour of 3-y-o OH SO GRAND. She impressed when resuming winning ways at Newcastle on her latest outing in October, the way she travelled/quickened suggesting there's more races to be won with her, and a 6 lb rise looks fair. Julia Augusta shaped well over 1m at Kempton latest and this step up in trip shouldn't inconvenience her on that evidence. The likeable Prenup and Whispering Words complete the shortlist.

Top of the list is OH SO GRAND (nap), who made it 3-6 when scoring in good style at Newcastle in October and is open to more progress.

Big player with improvement expected. 2nd in novice at Wetherby (2m3f) last month, in a narrow lead when blundering at the last.

Should improve on that but might be more of a handicap type. 6-1, 18l fifth of 11 in maiden hurdle at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) after a layoff.

LTO Selection:

BOB BOB RICARD showed ability in bumpers and the five-year-old can be given another chance here, having been a beaten favourite on his hurdling debut over 2m3f at Wetherby in October. Theformismighty was well held on his Rules bow at Aintree recently but the former winning pointer should not be underestimated now upped in trip, while Monbari remains open to improvement.

BOB BOB RICARD produced a promising first effort over hurdles before his lack of experience arguably caught him out when runner-up in novice company at Wetherby (19.7f) 7 weeks ago. Entitled to have derived a good deal from that, he gets the nod to go one place better. Howaya Now edges things for the forecast spot ahead of Monbari.

The withdrawal of Howaya Now puts BOB BOB RICARD at the top of the list. Monbari is second choice.

3	3 (3) (3/1 -33%) Miltiades		3 3/1(-33%)																															(3) Miltiades 3/1, Remains a maiden but has shown encouragement since switched to fences, making a respectable return from 6 months off when third in Warwick handicap 4 weeks ago. Entitled to come on for the outing and can go well. Eased down on the run-in when third at Warwick having looked a big threat turning in.
6	6 (6) (5/1 +0%) Martalmix'jac		5 5/1(+0%)																															(6) Martalmix'jac 5/1, Took advantage of a much-reduced mark at Stratford (19.5f) in October and stamina seemingly stretched when respectable fifth of 11 in handicap chase at same course (22.6f, heavy, 5/1) last time. Had wind operation since and warrants respect. Capable of a bold show off this mark but would prefer drier ground; had a wind op.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +44%) Time To Bite		5 5/1(+44%)																															(5) Time To Bite 5/1, Still without a win but got back on track over fences after joining his current yard last season and has made the frame in both starts this term, latest when third of 14 in handicap at Taunton (23f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. Often placed but he's now 0-33 including points and isn't the hardest to take on.
2	2 (2) (10/1 -11%) Kalpaga		10 10/1(-11%)																															(2) Kalpaga 10/1, French import who cashed in on reduced mark at Hereford over hurdles (19.7f) in April. Showed an aptitude for chasing here in October but failed to come on from that last time and has a bit to prove now. Fair mark on hurdle best; she's yet to prove as effective over fences this season.
1	1 (1) (11/2 +8%) Prince De Juilley		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(1) Prince De Juilley 11/2, Irish point winner who fared a bit better than previously when third in handicap hurdle (21.3f) at this course in May. Shaped as if needing the run on chase debut at Worcester and he may do better with cheekpieces applied. Early days chasing and possibilities back in trip with cheekpieces added.
8	8 (8) (11/2 +8%) My Granny Lily		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(8) My Granny Lily 11/2, Competitive off this sort of mark in handicap hurdles without winning, including when fourth on Warwick reappearance (19f) last month. Claims if taking to chasing at the first time of asking. 1 lb out of the handicap. Positively ridden before weakening into a 15l fourth at Warwick; 4lb lower on chase debut.
7	7 (7) (14/1 +22%) Money For Jam		14 14/1(+22%)																															(7) Money For Jam 14/1, Nine-race maiden who offered little on chase debut at Bangor (17.4f) 63 days ago. 1 lb out of the handicap. Has ability but pulled up in his final hurdle and suffered same fate on chase debut.
9	9 (9) (16/1 +0%) Amalfi Skyline		16 16/1(+0%)																															(9) Amalfi Skyline 16/1, No impact in 4 starts over timber and shaped as if amiss when pulled up on handicap bow at Newton Abbot in June. Best watched on chase debut from 3 lb out of the weights. Limited hurdler but goes chasing on only his fifth career start and has the 4yo allowance.
10	10 (10) (22/1 -214%) Blazing Hartingo		22 22/1(-214%)																															(10) Blazing Hartingo 22/1, Looked a bit temperamental over hurdles and finished well held on chase debut at Ffos Las last month. 3 lb out of the handicap. Lightly raced but struggles continued when tried in cheekpieces on his chase debut.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -83%) Fancy Stuff		33 33/1(-83%)																															(4) Fancy Stuff 33/1, Fair bumper winner but was unable to score over hurdles and made an inauspicious start in this sphere at Stratford in May. Likely best watched on return/debut for new yard in first-time hood. Failed to progress for Dan Skelton, including one attempt at chasing; hood added.

LTO Selection:

---

The Henry Daly-trained maiden MILTIADES is taken to gain his first career success following a promising comeback when third to Supasunrise at Warwick last month. He came to challenge the winner at the second-last fence before weakening on the run-in to finish third and has now been placed on all three runs over fences. Martalmix'jac had Time To Bite eight lengths back in third when winning at Stratford in early October but a 9lb pull in the weights may be enough for the latter to turn the tables.

MILTIADES is still low mileage over fences and should be spot on after a solid reappearance at Warwick last month. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Time To Bite and Martalmix'jac should also go well.

The most appealing claims belong to MILTIADES (nap) who threatened turning in at Warwick and was eased considerably on the run-in.

4	4 (4) (5/1 +33%) Documenting		5 5/1(+33%)																															(4) Documenting 5/1, 4-time C&D winner who again ran well when third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 6/1) 23 days ago. 10yo is 4-11 here and was a good third at Wolverhampton last time; in the mix.
3	3 (3) (6/1 -118%) Sterling Knight		6 6/1(-118%)																															(3) Sterling Knight 6/1, Bounced back to best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 14 days ago, slowly away but staying on to lead well inside final 100 yards. Remains unexposed at this trip so a 4 lb rise may not prevent the follow up. Finished well to win under Morgan Cole at Wolverhampton latest; respected off 4lb higher.
2	2 (2) (6/4 +50%) Aratus		1.5 6/4(+50%)																															(2) Aratus 6/4, Bounced back to form in a first-time hood when second of 7 in 7f handicap at Kempton 30 days ago, albeit carrying head awkwardly. Likely to be thereabouts again. Good second with hood added at Kempton and he looks interesting on this drop back in grade.
5	5 (5) (7/2 +22%) Zaman Jemil		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(5) Zaman Jemil 7/2, Latest win at Thirsk in July but wasn't at his best back on all-weather at Chelmsford City (6f) 15 days ago. Booking of Murphy a plus nonetheless. Dual 6f winner but he didn't fire on AW last time and still has bit to prove at this trip.
8	8 (8) (14/1 -320%) Intervention		14 14/1(-320%)																															(8) Intervention 14/1, Ended long losing run under a sound tactical ride in 12-runner handicap (9/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 22 days ago, kept up to work. Circumstances unlikely to be so favourable this time. Recorded his seventh AW win when making all at Wolverhampton latest; respected up 4lb.
6	6 (6) (15/2 +6%) Mitrosonfire		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(6) Mitrosonfire 15/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022 but ran respectably when sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 35 days ago. Should remain competitive. Plenty of good efforts this year but losing run is now up to 16 and others are preferred.
1	1 (1) (16/1 -33%) Stone Soldier		16 16/1(-33%)																															(1) Stone Soldier 16/1, Possibly needed the run after an 8-week break when sixth of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (7f) 30 days ago. Not without hope on pick of form. Six AW wins but he didn't fire at Kempton last month on his second run after a year off.

LTO Selection:

---

Intervention and Sterling Knight both merit the utmost respect on the back of recent victories over 7f at Wolverhampton, but a chance can be taken on ARATUS. Clive Cox's five-year-old has only been seen twice so far this year and took a big step forward from his first start when second over this trip at Kempton a month ago. Any further progression would give him a big chance in a race of this nature.

STERLING KNIGHT passed them all from the rear to win well at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago and, given he remains unexposed at the trip, a 4 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up. Mitrosonfire and Aratus head the opposition.

5yo ARATUS was a good second with a hood added in a Class 2 at Kempton last month and he gets the vote ahead of Sterling Knight.

1	1 (1) (2/1 +0%) The King Of Ryhope		2 2/1(+0%)																															(1) The King Of Ryhope 2/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who displayed fairly useful form over hurdles last term and improved to make a winning return/handicap chase debut at Chepstow (19.5f) in October, seeing off a resilient rival (pair clear). Underfoot conditions fine and respected with more to come. Won chase/handicap debut at Chepstow (2m3f) as the first two drew clear; up 7lb.
3	3 (3) (5/1 -50%) Happy And Fine		5 5/1(-50%)																															(3) Happy And Fine 5/1, Cheekpieces seemingly the making of him to end 2022, winning 2 of his 4 starts in handicap hurdles. Encouraging third on return/chase debut at Wetherby (19.4f) 32 days ago and likely he will have more to offer in this sphere. Back near best when third at Wetherby last month on chase debut, which he should build on.
4	4 (4) (5/1 +29%) Blue Fin		5 5/1(+29%)																															(4) Blue Fin 5/1, Runner-up only start in bumpers and positive profile over hurdles last season, registering success at Newcastle (16.9f) in February. Definite promise when second behind a potentially very smart prospect on last month's chase debut at Carlisle and he won't be long in winning in this sphere. 2nd of 5 at Carlisle (2m4f, soft; unraced on heavy) was a good first step in this sphere.
2	2 (2) (15/8 -7%) Hurlerontheditch		1.875 15/8(-7%)																															(2) Hurlerontheditch 15/8, Fair hurdler who was in the process of showing much improved form on chase bow when departing at Warwick on return last month, the race very much at his mercy when slipping on landing and coming down last. 10 lb higher now but of strong interest. Engaged 12.15 Southwell Tuesday. Crumpled on landing at final fence when about 20l clear at Warwick.
5	5 (5) (17/2 +39%) Intense Raffles		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(5) Intense Raffles 17/2, Bumper winner who displayed fairly useful form when winning first 2 starts over hurdles in France during 2021. Similar form without tasting success over fences and possibly needed run on final start over timber in September. Market should guide on debut for new yard. Three wins in France but 0-5 over fences there; overall improvement is needed.

LTO Selection:

---

Comfortable Chepstow scorer The King Of Ryhope and Blue Fin, who shaped well on his chase debut at Carlisle, are expected to go well, but a chance if taken on HAPPY AND FINE. The dual hurdles scorer also shaped with plenty of promise on his fencing bow at Wetherby and might just appreciate this extra yardage. He has been a different horse since the cheekpieces were applied.

HURLERONTHEDITCH had the race at his mercy when coming to grief at the last on his return/chase debut at Warwick 4 weeks ago. An effort containing abundant promise on the whole, that hasn't gone unnoticed by the assessor, but he still makes plenty of appeal in his bid to gain compensation. Fellow last-time-out winner The King of Ryhope is a big threat however, ahead of Blue Fin.

Preference is for THE KING OF RYHOPE (nap) who impressed with his win at Chepstow. Hurlerontheditch is second choice.

3	3 (3) (3/1 +40%) Magical Maggie		3 3/1(+40%)																															(3) Magical Maggie 3/1, Progressing well when bagging her third win in this sphere on her handicap debut at Cartmel (17.2f) in May but off since a below-par third of four at Newton Abbot following month. No surprise to see her get back on track. Handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere despite a productive year already.
4	4 (4) (7/4 +22%) Obsessedwithyou		1.75 7/4(+22%)																															(4) Obsessedwithyou 7/4, Won junior events at Wetherby and Hereford last season before producing another good effort when fourth on handicap debut at Cheltenham (16.8f, good) in April. Beaten favourite at Taunton on return but overall profile is still positive. 2-5 last season and a lot better than she showed on her return at Taunton.
7	7 (7) (11/1 +0%) Ostrava Du Berlais		11 11/1(+0%)																															(7) Ostrava Du Berlais 11/1, Fair maiden hurdler/chaser for Patrice Quinton in France. Changed hands for €30,000 in November 2022 but pulled up in Wincanton handicap 25 days ago starting out for her new yard after a 13-month absence. Still early days for a top yard. Pulled up on stable debut at Wincanton when noticeably weak in the market.
1	1 (1) (15/8 +46%) Galice Macalo		1.875 15/8(+46%)																															(1) Galice Macalo 15/8, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser scored over the smaller obstacles at Chepstow last season. Has ran with credit both starts over fences this term, 15 lengths fourth of 9 to Arclight in listed event at Exeter (17.5f, soft, 10/1) 16 days ago, and she's a player back hurdling. Recent chase efforts respectable and should give this a good go from the front; fair mark.
5	5 (5) (25/1 -79%) Demoiselle Kap		25 25/1(-79%)																															(5) Demoiselle Kap 25/1, Fair form when winning at Pau in January but hasn't looked ready to take advantage of a sliding mark since. Temperament under question and hard to fancy on UK debut. Interesting on some of her French form but recent efforts have been well below par.

LTO Selection:

---

GREYVAL struggled to get into the race behind Knickerbockerglory at Ascot on her seasonal reappearance but with the benefit of that run under her belt and a 2lb drop in her handicap mark, she is taken to triumph in a race that represents a drop in grade. Galice Macalo is reverting to hurdles, a tactic which last season saw her record a 10-length Chepstow victory, and her front-running style could easily set up the race for the selection, who is normally ridden with restraint. The Jamie Snowden yard is currently in great form and an improved effort from Obsessedwithyou after a below-par run at Taunton would come as no surprise.

GREYVAL proved herself a fairly useful performer when winning twice last season and shaped well enough on her seasonal comeback at Ascot, so is fancied to resume winning ways with race fitness now on her side. Galice Macalo has been in good form over fences this season and is respected reverting to the smaller obstacles, with Magical Maggie taken to complete the placings.

Topweight GALICE MACALO wouldn't want to get in an early battle with Obsessedwithyou but she has a lot going for her otherwise.

Lightly-raced profile provides hope for better still. Promising third at Chelmsford last time and looks interesting on his step up to this trip.
6	6 (6) (9/1 +55%) Capstan		9 9/1(+55%)																															(6) Capstan 9/1, Pulled up both starts over hurdles but fair performer on the Flat, creditable on last run in this sphere. Well handicapped on his best form but he's 0-12 and was pulled up over hurdles last time.
3	3 (3) (9/4 +44%) Queensland Boy		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(3) Queensland Boy 9/4, Winner at Windsor in August. 22/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 19 days ago, having to pick way through. Makes polytrack debut. Expected to be bang there. On workable mark and he ran well on Tapeta latest; dangerous back in trip/grade.

2	2 (2) (11/2 +15%) Pablo Prince		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(2) Pablo Prince 11/2, 3-time C&D winner. 11/1, good third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 35 days ago. Likely to give another good account. Triple C&D winner who returned to form with a close third here last time; respected.
5	5 (5) (11/4 -83%) Mistress Light		2.75 11/4(-83%)																															(5) Mistress Light 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 7/2) 23 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Should go well again. 0-5 but she's gone close in both her handicaps and is open to more progress.
4	4 (4) (22/1 -10%) Hurtle		22 22/1(-10%)																															(4) Hurtle 22/1, Fair handicapper who was again below form when eighth of in 13-runner event at Kempton (12f, 50/1) 42 days ago. Tongue strap back on/cheekpieces on for 1st time. Out of sorts in his last three runs and he needs a major revival in new equipment.
7	7 (7) (40/1 -471%) Handel		40 40/1(-471%)																															(7) Handel 40/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 17/2) 25 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Significantly up in trip. Disappointing since his Yarmouth win in July and is untried at this trip; risks attached.

LTO Selection:

---

MISTRESS LIGHT has taken a while to find herself but recent starts suggest that she is beginning to do just that, and her runner-up effort at Wolverhampton last month appeals as the strongest form on offer. The three-year-old can get off the mark at the sixth time of asking, with the experienced Queensland Boy and Shaheen Saqaar, who ran a promising race at Chelmsford latest, looking best placed to chase her home.

QUEENSLAND BOY was unlucky not to finish closer when fourth at Wolverhampton 19 days ago and remains low mileage after just 8 starts, so he's an appealing candidate. Mistress Light and Shaheen Saqaar are considered the main threats.

This can go to the progressive 3yo MISTRESS LIGHT, who was a clear second behind a well-backed favourite at Wolverhampton last time.

1	1 (1) (4/1 -33%) Jasmiwa		4 4/1(-33%)																															(1) Jasmiwa 4/1, Dual winner (at up to 23.9f) on testing ground last season who posted respectable third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) on return 36 days ago. 1 lb lower now and merits consideration. Needs to resume improvement but that's possible and she should have a good shout.
3	3 (3) (4/1 -14%) Shoeshine Boy		4 4/1(-14%)																															(3) Shoeshine Boy 4/1, Back to winning ways at Carlisle (25f) in April and acquitted himself well in defeat since, latest when second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (25.8f, soft) 25 days ago. Shortlist material. Four seconds on soft and he ran respectably on his only appearance on heavy.

Back from chasing for latest run, with career-low mark, and it worked with Huntingdon win.

Not taken lightly. Returned this season from 678-day absence; placed on his two starts back , the latest 3m2f.
7	7 (7) (7/1 +22%) You Say Its Over		7 7/1(+22%)																															(7) You Say Its Over 7/1, Still looking for first success but ran up to best when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f, heavy) 26 days ago. This is a stronger contest, though, and she finds herself 5 lb out of the weights. Back in some form when second at Hexham (3m, heavy) last time; 5lb out of the handicap.
2	2 (2) (12/1 +14%) Blue Shark		12 12/1(+14%)																															(2) Blue Shark 12/1, Highly progressive last season but his run of good form has come to a shuddering halt, beating only one home in his last 3 outings. Engaged 2.50 Southwell Tuesday. Out of form and stamina has not been proved.
6	6 (6) (17/2 -6%) Annaharvey Lad		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(6) Annaharvey Lad 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden who shaped as if needing the run when sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) on return 20 days ago. Step up in trip should suit and can't be discounted. This is just his second handicap, so early days; stepped up another 4f.
8	8 (8) (20/1 -25%) Robeam		20 20/1(-25%)																															(8) Robeam 20/1, Ran with credit when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, good to firm) in October but is on a lengthy losing run and makes limited appeal from 7 lb out of the weights. The last year has been largely underwhelming and he is 7lb out of the handicap.

This can go the way of CHRIS COOL, who had an excellent return to this sphere when scoring at Huntingdon last month. The form of that race has worked out a treat with the second and third winning since, and he gets the vote ahead of Jasmiwa and the consistent Shoeshine Boy, who has not been outside the first two home in his last four starts.

Last month's Huntingdon winner CHRIS COOL is still fairly treated on old form and may be able to follow up. Shoeshine Boy and Artic Mann rate the principal dangers.

This trip and ground might prove just the ticket for JASMIWA now that she has a run under her belt. Chris Cool looks the next best.

5	5 (5) (3/1 +63%) Dr T J Eckleburg		3 3/1(+63%)																															(5) Dr T J Eckleburg 3/1, From his lower mark over fences, left his previous chasing efforts behind when winning at Worcester in September. Backed up that effort when third at Taunton (18.2f) 20 days ago and he can give another good account. Appeared to have no obvious excuses when a well-held third at Taunton.
3	3 (3) (3/1 -33%) Steppenwolf		3 3/1(-33%)																															(3) Steppenwolf 3/1, Ran to a fair level over hurdles last season, making a winning handicap debut at Clonmel (19.5f) at the start of the campaign. Has failed to complete in 3 of his 5 starts over fences, but has shown some promise and can do better now switched to handicaps in this sphere. Jumping has been an issue over fences but retains potential; trainer's only runner here.

This won't be so demanding as last time and he remains on a realistic mark.

More miss than hit during the rest of the campaign, but went enthusiastically in the lead until departing at the ninth at Taunton (18.2f) on his stable/chase debut 20 days ago. Open to progress.

However, was in trouble a long way out when pulled up on his seasonal/chase debut 23 days ago. Won a novice hurdle but his recent chase debut at Kempton did not go well.

In a race where chase form is at a premium, LIVELY CITIZEN is taken to get back to winning ways after his reappearance in a competitive Aintree handicap. Prior to that he had won at Perth on his chase debut and races off only a 3lb higher mark now. Steppenwolf, who represents the in-form Gavin Cromwell yard, has only completed once in his latest four chases but has to be respected on his placed form in handicap hurdles at Fairyhouse and Downpatrick. Four-year-old chasing debutant Jolly Nellerie is another likely improver from an in-form yard to consider in a tricky contest.

This could go the way of Irish challenger STEPPENWOLF, who made a successful handicap hurdle debut and can also make a winning start in handicap chases. The 5-y-o has shown some promise over fences and can take a step forward to get the better of Dr T J Eckleburg, who is on a workable mark based on his hurdles form. Doyouknowwhatimean is also considered.

Irish raider STEPPENWOLF contests his first handicap over fences and he's Gavin Cromwell's only runner on the card.

3	3 (3) (2/1 +53%) Mint Man		2 2/1(+53%)																															(3) Mint Man 2/1, 50/1, showed much improved form when second of 8 in minor event at this course (6f) 19 days ago. Capable of winning race of this nature so he's high on the shortlist. Second to a smart rival last time (6f); has the pace to cope with this drop in trip.
4	4 (4) (3/1 -33%) Sorrento Sky		3 3/1(-33%)																															(4) Sorrento Sky 3/1, Won a barrier trial here in September and made an encouraging start under Rules when second of 13 in maiden at this course (7f, 8/1) 3 weeks ago. Down in trip. Should have more to offer. Ran a fine race over 7f on debut, beaten by a more experienced rival; should be involved.
1	1 (1) (10/3 -11%) Branding		3.333333 10/3(-11%)																															(1) Branding 10/3, 8/1, matched debut form when third of 10 in maiden at Naas (5f, soft) back in July. Respected on all-weather debut. Was 3rd over this trip on easy ground at Naas in July; has the ability to run well.
8	8 (8) (12/1 -118%) Ecoutez Bien		12 12/1(-118%)																															(8) Ecoutez Bien 12/1, Foaled June 1. No Nay Never filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1¼m), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7.4f winner (stayed 1¼m) Sherpa out of useful 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 1½m) Eirnin. Plenty to like. By a top sire, notably of sprinters, so is worth checking the market for confidence.
11	11 (11) (13/2 -30%) Mary Shoelaces		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(11) Mary Shoelaces 13/2, Blinkered for 1st time, improved again when second of 7 in nursery (9/2) at this C&D 7 days ago, clear of rest. Wide draw complicates things a touch but she's in the mix. Good C&D nursery runs last twice so should be competitive back in this company.
14	14 (14) (14/1 -87%) Woohoo		14 14/1(-87%)																															(14) Woohoo 14/1, 20/1, made an encouraging start when third of 14 in maiden at this C&D on debut 33 days ago, having to pick way through. Blinkers on 1st time. Open to improvement. Beaten 8l by a stablemate on debut; should improve but blinkers are quickly reached for.
12	12 (12) (14/1 +65%) Soldiers Design		14 14/1(+65%)																															(12) Soldiers Design 14/1, Foaled April 29. €8,000 foal, Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 6f Angelic Lord and winner up to 6f Big Time Maybe. Dam maiden (stayed 1m). By a first-crop sire who has got lots of winners; one of three runners for respected yard.
9	9 (9) (22/1 +12%) Iberian Queen		22 22/1(+12%)																															(9) Iberian Queen 22/1, Foaled April 12. €18,000 yearling, Phoenix of Spain filly. Closely related to 1m winner Coolmeen Vega and half-sister to useful 6f winner Pure Circle. An 18,000euros yearling is worth a market check on debut.
5	5 (5) (28/1 -40%) Surpass And Shine		28 28/1(-40%)																															(5) Surpass And Shine 28/1, 150/1, showed more than first time up when fifth of 10 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, heavy) 52 days ago. Weakened in the final furlong on soft ground over 6f last time; this could suit better.
2	2 (2) (40/1 -60%) Chief Of State		40 40/1(-60%)																															(2) Chief Of State 40/1, Foaled March 29. €34,000 yearling, Kuroshio colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Lady Onyx. Dam 5f winner out of useful 7f winner Dangle. A 34,000euros yearling is by a decent sire and could run well on debut.
6	6 (6) (66/1 -32%) Tarsus		66 66/1(-32%)																															(6) Tarsus 66/1, 40/1, sixth of 14 in maiden at this C&D 33 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Soundly beaten in three maidens, including twice over C&D; tried in a tongue-tie.
15	15 (15) (125/1 -213%) Thatsthebestoneyet		125 125/1(-213%)																															(15) Thatsthebestoneyet 125/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Kieran Patrick Cotter when seventh of 14 in maiden (33/1) at this C&D 33 days ago. Seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind. RESERVE. A lesser run over C&D in cheekpieces last month; major improvement needed; reserve.
7	7 (7) (150/1 -275%) Xaustdwithpleasure		150 150/1(-275%)																															(7) Xaustdwithpleasure 150/1, Offered little when thirteenth of 15 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, heavy, 25/1) on debut 7 weeks ago. Big step forward needed. Beaten a long way on debut at Navan in soft ground and will have to improve loads.
10	10 (10) (250/1 -150%) Maple Star		250 250/1(-150%)																															(10) Maple Star 250/1, 150/1, failed to progress from debut when eighth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.3f, good) 5 months ago. Significantly down in trip. Beaten a long way in two maidens over the summer; looks one for handicaps.

MARY SHOELACES was just outgunned by an in-form horse in the closing stages over C&D last week, but finished well clear of the remainder. Wesley Joyce rode the horse that beat her and comes in for the ride. His 5lb claim is valuable in this race. Mint Man ran a stormer off the front at 50/1 when beaten a neck over 6f here last month, and is drawn to attack again. Branding had several subsequent winners behind him when third in a Naas maiden in July and could be lively on his Polytrack debut. Sorrento Sky showed plenty when runner-up on debut over 7f in November. This is a marked drop in trip and he is drawn widest of all, but his chance is respected. Woohoo could build upon a debut third over C&D and gets first-time blinkers while newcomer Ecoutez Bien is well worth a market check.

Having won a barrier trial here in September, SORRENTO SKY went close to making a successful Rules debut here 3 weeks ago and dropped to the minimum trip, Gavin Cromwell's colt is fancied to go a place better at the expense of Branding, who makes his all-weather debut after a couple of fair turf efforts back in the summer. Mary Shoelaces and Mint Man can fight out minor honours.

MINT MAN(nap) has been gelded since last time and turns out again relatively quickly but has plenty of pace and could make all.

8	8 (8) (4/1 +60%) Street Life		4 4/1(+60%)																															(8) Street Life 4/1, Course winner. 9/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 22 days ago, needing no excuses. His last win was off 15lb higher and he ran well for long way on AW latest; not ruled out.
2	2 (2) (7/2 -17%) Darlo Pride		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(2) Darlo Pride 7/2, Took a small step forward in a first-time visor to resume winning ways in 10-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 20 days ago. Thriving at present and likely to go well again. Has record of 22121 since the end of August and he's open to more progress; key player.
6	6 (6) (9/2 +31%) Street Parade		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(6) Street Parade 9/2, 11/2, fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 15 days ago, never nearer. Capable from this mark if things drop right. On dangerous back in a Class 6 event and has claims if this sets up for his closing style.
10	10 (10) (10/1 -43%) Universal Grace		10 10/1(-43%)																															(10) Universal Grace 10/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in September. Creditable 2 lengths fifth of 10 to Darlo Pride in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 6/1) 20 days ago. Won at Chelmsford in September but has come up short in three runs there since.
4	4 (4) (10/1 -11%) Rhubarb		10 10/1(-11%)																															(4) Rhubarb 10/1, Latest win at Nottingham in October. 16/1, wasn't disgraced when fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 14 days ago. Enters calculations. Several good efforts this autumn but he's 0-15 on AW and others are more persuasive.
3	3 (3) (15/2 -36%) Suanni		7.5 15/2(-36%)																															(3) Suanni 15/2, 9/2, won 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 34 days ago, well drawn. Can give another good account. Got back on the scoresheet at Chelmsford last month and a 3lb rise looks fair; in the mix.
9	9 (9) (17/2 -55%) Moorgate		8.5 17/2(-55%)																															(9) Moorgate 17/2, Belied market weakness to finally get off the mark in 8-runner handicap (6/1) at this course (6f, AW) 29 days ago by ¾ length from Darlo Pride. Unexposed as a sprinter and he got off the mark over 6f here last time; shortlisted.
7	7 (7) (17/2 -42%) Big Time Maybe		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(7) Big Time Maybe 17/2, 3-time C&D winner who returned to form after 7 weeks off when third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 18/1) 22 days ago. Triple C&D winner who was a close third at Wolverhampton last time; respected.
5	5 (5) (20/1 +0%) Jacquelina		20 20/1(+0%)																															(5) Jacquelina 20/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 18/1) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Not at best at Chelmsford this autumn and needs first-time cheekpieces to give her a lift.
1	1 (1) (22/1 -38%) I'm Mable		22 22/1(-38%)																															(1) I'm Mable 22/1, Latest win at Brighton in June and possibly needed the run after 12 weeks off when seventh of 11 in handicap (33/1) at this course (6f, AW) 18 days ago. Generally consistent mare but she has a tough draw here and others are more persuasive.

LTO Selection:

Now that the penny has dropped for MOORGATE after a taking success over further here last month, there should be more to come from the son of Mastercraftsman. He can uphold form with Darlo Pride (second), who has gone in since at Chelmsford, while Suanni has a 3lb rise to overcome for scoring at the same venue last time out. Big Time Maybe and Street Parade cannot be ruled out either.

DARLO PRIDE is thriving at present and is taken to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts. Street Parade is too well handicapped to ignore and will be dangerous if getting a sound gallop to chase. Rhubarb completes the shortlist in an opening-looking finale.

The vote goes to 3yo DARLO PRIDE, who has form figures of 22121 since the end of August and is open to more improvement.

1	1 (1) (4/1 +11%) Sam Brown		4 4/1(+11%)																															(1) Sam Brown 4/1, Rejuvenated by first-time blinkers when looking the likely winner of a 3m handicap at the Punchestown Festival in April until falling 2 out (just over 2 lengths ahead at the time). Ran poorly at Wincanton on return but blinkers back on now. Inconsistent but it would not be the greatest shock were he to spring back to life.
4	4 (4) (7/2 +36%) Nestor Park		3.5 7/2(+36%)																															(4) Nestor Park 7/2, Just the one win to his name in this sphere but he has made the frame 12 times from 13 completed starts over fences, latest when third in veterans' event at Aintree (25f, soft) 38 days ago. Can be in the shake-up again. Most of his form over the last two years would see him on the premises.
3	3 (3) (9/4 -50%) Good Boy Bobby		2.25 9/4(-50%)																															(3) Good Boy Bobby 9/4, Successful twice at Wetherby during 2021/22 campaign, including the Rowland Meyrick, and first win since when capitalised on a falling mark in veterans race at Chepstow on return. Followed up in similar event at Sandown and remains of interest in these events. Won veterans' races on last two starts; remains well handicapped on his old form.
2	2 (2) (9/2 +0%) The Galloping Bear		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(2) The Galloping Bear 9/2, Useful staying chaser. Easily best effort last season when second in Eider Chase at Newcastle. Needed reappearance run last season, though. Has had a wind op. While longer trips suit, this should still be a right slog; bit to prove first time out.
5	5 (5) (12/1 -9%) Francky Du Berlais		12 12/1(-9%)																															(5) Francky Du Berlais 12/1, Won the 2022 Summer Plate at Market Rasen and some good efforts since, including twice in September. Shaped as if still in form when fourth in cross country race at Cheltenham 19 days ago. His recent efforts don't look good enough to see off today's rivals.
6	6 (6) (15/2 -36%) Up Helly Aa King		7.5 15/2(-36%)																															(6) Up Helly Aa King 15/2, Won a similar event at Doncaster in February 2022 and was continuing in fine form despite his advancing years when runner-up at that same track 9 months ago. Has gone well fresh previously but 1 lb out of the handicap here. Fourth and second in last two runnings of this race; pretty consistent and acts on heavy.

LTO Selection:

A chance is taken on SAM BROWN, who will love these conditions and was going well in the lead when falling two out at Punchestown in April. The veteran showed on that occasion that there is still a bit left in the tank, and returning to a track where he was runner-up in a Peter Marsh is another plus. Good Boy Bobby is the form horse, having won both starts this season, while The Galloping Bear is another capable type.

GOOD BOY BOBBY has clearly relished the drop into the calmer waters of veteran events and is taken to complete the hat-trick given the manner of his win at Sandown. Sam Brown is a potential threat with blinkers re-fitted, while Nestor Park should be thereabouts again.

While Good Boy Bobby could still have plenty of mileage in his handicap mark, THE GALLOPING BEAR may be seen in a positive light.

12	12 (12) (5/1 -82%) What's One More		5 5/1(-82%)																															(12) What's One More 5/1, Mount Nelson filly who showed plenty of ability but only after displaying a similar amount of temperament beforehand when third of 16 in bumper at Warwick (16f, heavy) 4 weeks ago. Fancied to be in the mix with that initial effort under her belt. £46,000 3yo; 16-1, she was no match for an impressive Skelton debutante at Warwick.
1	1 (1) (5/4 +17%) Jim De Sarti		1.25 5/4(+17%)																															(1) Jim De Sarti 5/4, Improved from debut when winning 7-runner amateurs maiden at Loudeac (by 1½ lengths from Idrolix, staying on well to lead last few strides) in April. Not seen since but warrants considerable respect under a penalty on first start for his powerful yard. 1m6f winner in France; described as "talented and precocious" by his trainer.
9	9 (9) (8/1 +0%) Platenium		8 8/1(+0%)																															(9) Platenium 8/1, 12/1, shaped as if needing the run when seventh of 16 in bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) on debut 6 months ago. Had a wind op since last seen and needs to build on it. Outpaced when it mattered and finished midfield on good ground at Huntingdon in May.
2	2 (2) (10/1 -67%) A Pro Po		10 10/1(-67%)																															(2) A Pro Po 10/1, Milan gelding. Closely related to a winner, and half-brother to useful hurdler Secrete Stream and fair hurdler Lady Iseult. One to note on debut. Closely related to 3m1f chase winner Goosen Maverick; market needs checking.
7	7 (7) (12/1 +14%) Lightningupourdays		12 12/1(+14%)																															(7) Lightningupourdays 12/1, Telescope gelding who produced a promising first effort amidst greenness when fourth of 8 in bumper at Bangor (16.7f, good to firm) 7 months ago. Could build on that here. Only 6-1 at Bangor (good) and shaped nicely behind the now smart hurdler Push The Button.
11	11 (11) (15/2 +6%) Ted's Gift		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(11) Ted's Gift 15/2, Ran to only a modest level when placed both starts during the summer. More needed for win purposes but could have more to offer. Not far away in a couple of good-ground bumpers at Worcester during the summer.
10	10 (10) (20/1 +0%) Strong As Steel		20 20/1(+0%)																															(10) Strong As Steel 20/1, Phoenix Reach colt. Brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Samson's Reach. Newcomer from a stable with a healthy 11-48 record in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Second reported foal; brother to bumper and 2m3f/2m5f hurdle winner Samson's Reach.
8	8 (8) (22/1 -57%) Nelsons Star		22 22/1(-57%)																															(8) Nelsons Star 22/1, £18,500 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Real Milan. Market check advised. Stable operates at a low strike-rate in bumpers and bred to do better in time.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -106%) Celtic Sea		33 33/1(-106%)																															(4) Celtic Sea 33/1, Youmzain gelding. Dam, poor maiden hurdler/chaser, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/modest chase winner (stayed 2¾m) Coastley. Stable has had a couple of bumper winners lately so a market move would be worth noting. First foal out of a dam unplaced in 16 races Flat and jumps; wouldn't be the obvious one.
5	5 (5) (40/1 -60%) Galway Reel		40 40/1(-60%)																															(5) Galway Reel 40/1, Highland Reel gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including high-class hurdler/useful chaser Wicklow Brave. Makes some paper appeal. Half-brother to seven winners, notably smart dual-purpose performer Wicklow Brave.
3	3 (3) (66/1 -32%) Badlands Boy		66 66/1(-32%)																															(3) Badlands Boy 66/1, Diamond Boy gelding who looked in need of the experience first time up when tailed off in bumper at Bangor (16.7f, soft) 9 weeks ago. Can only be watched on the back of that. In rear throughout and tailed off on soft ground at Bangor two months ago; no appeal.
6	6 (6) (66/1 +0%) Illico De Montave		66 66/1(+0%)																															(6) Illico De Montave 66/1, Unplaced sole start in points and still looked clueless a year on when well held in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) last month. Big step forward needed. Tailed off in a 2m4f point and finished down the field at Wincanton (good to soft).

LTO Selection:

WHAT'S ONE MORE made an encouraging debut when third to Let It Rain in a Warwick bumper 28 days ago and Emma Lavelle's filly can show the benefit of that experience to score here. Held up in the early stages, she ran on well without ever threatening to get to Dan Skelton's impressive winner and that run should have brought her on. Ted's Gift ran well when chasing home subsequent dual winner Olivers Travels at Worcester in June but Jonjo O'Neill's charge has been off the course since and a greater danger may be Nicky Henderson's Jim De Sarti, who carries a 4lb penalty for winning a 1m6f bumper in France in April.

Though she may have hinted at temperament pre-race, WHAT'S ONE MORE still showed plenty of ability when third at Warwick 4 weeks ago and sure to have derived plenty from that initial effort, Emma Lavelle's filly gets the nod at the expense of French-recruit Jim de Sarti, who was last seen winning in April and must be respected having joined a top stable. Newcomers Celtic Sea and Strong As Steel can fight out third spot.

Jim De Sarti could be too good for these but LIGHTNINGUPOURDAYS showed enough at Bangor to edge preference.

9	9 (9) (2/1 +20%) Notforalongtime		2 2/1(+20%)																															(9) Notforalongtime 2/1, Fair gelding. Course winner. Bit below form when sixth in handicap here (8f) 14 days ago but had come close over C&D previously and warrants respect. Two wins and two places at this venue, second on penultimate start, solid each-way chance.
4	4 (4) (5/2 +50%) May Night		2.5 5/2(+50%)																															(4) May Night 5/2, Went with no encouragement on first run since leaving Stuart Williams when last of 16 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft, 40/1) 4 months ago. Has to enter calculations dropped to claiming company here, though. Six AW wins in Britain, last of 16 on debut for this stable, respected at these weights.
12	12 (12) (8/1 +50%) Big Dream		8 8/1(+50%)																															(12) Big Dream 8/1, Fair gelding. Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 8/1, respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 12 days ago. Not out of things. Unplaced here 12 days ago, some sort of chance on his previous second in a 1m handicap.
8	8 (8) (10/1 -100%) Monzoon		10 10/1(-100%)																															(8) Monzoon 10/1, Back to winning ways in 13-runner claimer at this course (8f) last month and wasn't seen to best effect for new yard in handicap company since. Shortlisted. Ended long losing sequence with win in 1m claimer last month, disappointing on yard debut.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +52%) Hezahunk		12 12/1(+52%)																															(3) Hezahunk 12/1, Fair gelding. First run since leaving Michael Appleby when bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, 9/1) 5 days ago. Work to do. Placed on AW in Britain, fair fifth in a handicap here last Friday, more on his plate now.
14	14 (14) (12/1 +52%) Knockmore Prince		12 12/1(+52%)																															(14) Knockmore Prince 12/1, Modest gelding. 9/2, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Others more persuasive. Fair form at this venue on last three starts, others better suited by the race conditions.
11	11 (11) (14/1 +13%) Chica Power		14 14/1(+13%)																															(11) Chica Power 14/1, Fair mare. 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Below form eighth of 14 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Not discounted. Won a C&D claimer for fillies/mares in October, has a decent overall record at the venue.
1	1 (1) (18/1 -177%) Army Of India		18 18/1(-177%)																															(1) Army Of India 18/1, Unreliable type. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Down Royal (7f, soft) 72 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Chance on old form. Three AW sprinting wins in Britain for Julie Camacho, ordinary form for this stable.
13	13 (13) (22/1 -22%) Invincible Larne		22 22/1(-22%)																															(13) Invincible Larne 22/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 12¼ lengths sixth of 13 to Monzoon in claimer at this course (8f, 28/1) 21 days ago, merely closing up late. Others preferred. Five-time winner in Britain, sixth in two 1m claimers last month, needs to find extra.
10	10 (10) (25/1 -39%) Humanitarian		25 25/1(-39%)																															(10) Humanitarian 25/1, Quirky sort. Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. 10/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 14 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Each-way claims. Two wins over longer distances, not a bad run over 1m last time but 7f may be inadequate.
7	7 (7) (28/1 -700%) Eighty Eight		28 28/1(-700%)																															(7) Eighty Eight 28/1, Disappointed over hurdles latest but posted respectable fourth at Navan (10f) when last seen in this sphere in July and is one of likelier contenders. Moderate hurdles from since his last Flat start, quite well suited by race conditions.
15	15 (15) (50/1 -52%) Pollanassa		50 50/1(-52%)																															(15) Pollanassa 50/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Tenth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at this course (10.7f) 5 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. RESERVE. First reserve, regressive after showing early promise in maidens for Kevin Coleman.
2	2 (2) (125/1 -150%) Jackie Robinson		125 125/1(-150%)																															(2) Jackie Robinson 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (9f, heavy, 50/1) 45 days ago. Down in trip. Poor runs on turf over 5f and 1m1f, little appeal even if this intermediate trip helps.
5	5 (5) (150/1 -20%) Ocean Leader		150 150/1(-20%)																															(5) Ocean Leader 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Denis W. Cullen when thirteenth of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, 100/1) 21 days ago. Big gap between his only two runs, nothing to suggest he can make his presence felt.

MAY NIGHT enjoys racing on all-weather surfaces and, if he runs near to his mark of 84, could take a bit of beating at these weights. He posted three victories at Wolverhampton and another three in Kempton and it is reasonable to assume that he will relish his first visit to Dundalk. Notforalongtime was only headed close home in a C&D handicap in November which is solid form in the context of this race. Monzoon has questions to answer after disappointing on his last start, however, he showed what he can do when routing the field in a claimer over 1m at this track on his penultimate outing. Chica Power was a comfortable winner of a claimer over C&D in October which gives her claims while Knockmore Prince has been placed four times in Dundalk and can get in the mix for Noel Meade and Danny Sheehy.

MONZOON was unable to land a blow on debut for new connections here last month but had taken a similar contest here previously and gets the nod. Notforalongtime and Eighty Eight are others to consider in a tricky-looking event.

This looks open. A tentative vote goes to NOTFORALONGTIME who has four AW wins to his name including two at this venue.

1	1 (1) (7/4 +22%) Finbar Furey		1.75 7/4(+22%)																															(1) Finbar Furey 7/4, Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving Clive Cox when good 2 lengths fourth of 8 to Orne in Horris Hill Stakes (4/1) at Newmarket (7f, heavy) 32 days ago. On the upgrade and makes appeal back down in grade. Winner on soft, ran creditably on heavy in the Horris Hill but has handled good ground too.
2	2 (2) (10/3 +52%) Port Augusta		3.333333 10/3(+52%)																															(2) Port Augusta 10/3, 7/2, won 8-runner minor event at Dundalk (6f) on debut 19 days ago. Open to progress and can't be ruled out. Extra furlong here should be within his range following a promising debut success over 6f.
8	8 (8) (11/8 -10%) Serious Notions		1.375 11/8(-10%)																															(8) Serious Notions 11/8, Thrice-raced maiden. 3 lengths third of 9 to Kitty Rose in listed race (28/1) at Leopardstown (7.3f, good to firm) 88 days ago. Obvious claims. Faces previous winners but has leading chance based on Listed third at Leopardstown.
13	13 (13) (12/1 -50%) Vina Arana		12 12/1(-50%)																															(13) Vina Arana 12/1, Promising individual. Sixth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 6/1) on debut 68 days ago, never nearer. Open to improvement. Ran a bit green first time out in a C&D maiden in September, improvement is on the cards.
4	4 (4) (16/1 -191%) Bergamasco		16 16/1(-191%)																															(4) Bergamasco 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 13-runner nursery at Dundalk (8f, 7/1) 19 days ago, doing better under change of tactics. Should be on the premises. Promoted 8lb to 82 after 1m course nursery win, will need to surpass that mark now.
9	9 (9) (40/1 -60%) Nedita		40 40/1(-60%)																															(9) Nedita 40/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 11/2) on debut 21 days ago. May do better. Not a bad run on debut three weeks ago, should improve but has tough task in this company.
6	6 (6) (66/1 -32%) The Poacher Daly		66 66/1(-32%)																															(6) The Poacher Daly 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Twelfth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (5f, 9/1) on debut 33 days ago. Significantly up in trip. No impact first time out here a month ago though not a big price on that occasion.
10	10 (10) (100/1 -52%) Storm Tracker		100 100/1(-52%)																															(10) Storm Tracker 100/1, Foaled March 16. €4,000 yearling, Storm Belt colt. Half-brother to middle-distance winner in Spain by Motivator. Dam Spanish 9f winner. Pedigree suggests he may need a bit further than this to prosper, best watched.
3	3 (3) (100/1 -25%) Badda Bing		100 100/1(-25%)																															(3) Badda Bing 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighteenth of 20 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, soft, 80/1). Off 121 days. In rear in a strong Curragh maiden, out of his depth in a valuable sales race at Naas.
11	11 (11) (200/1 -33%) Freedom Ring		200 200/1(-33%)																															(11) Freedom Ring 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in maiden at Cork (5f, soft, 150/1). Off 7 months. Significantly up in trip. Excuse for poor run on debut, hard to fancy on the evidence of 5f Cork in run in May.
12	12 (12) (200/1 -203%) Galician Girl		200 200/1(-203%)																															(12) Galician Girl 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1, eleventh of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) on debut 26 days ago. Beaten roughly 8l when 11th of 14 on debut here last month, unlikely to feature.
5	5 (5) (250/1 -25%) Selton Hill		250 250/1(-25%)																															(5) Selton Hill 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 150/1) 14 days ago. Soundly beaten in outings at the Curragh and this venue, not likely to make an impact.
14	14 (14) (250/1 +0%) Katie Kabeir		250 250/1(+0%)																															(14) Katie Kabeir 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, first run since leaving Denis Hogan when last of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) 14 days ago. No apparent chance, has failed to finish in front of a single rival in three outings.

Ger Lyons' horses have been in terrific form in the Winter Series at Dundalk with three winners and two runners-up from his last six runners, so SERIOUS NOTIONS looks a likely sort for the trainer. This 93-rated filly put in an excellent effort in third behind two very useful fillies in Listed company at Leopardstown in September. She is one to look forward to on Polytrack debut. British-raider Finbar Furey holds a mark of 95 and wasn't beaten far into fourth in the Group 3 Horris Hill Stakes at Newmarket last month. His chance has to be taken very seriously. Bergamasco is maturing and got off the mark at the fifth time of asking. He is proven over further which will help if this becomes a battle. Port Augusta stayed on well to get up a neck on debut over 6f at this track. The extra furlong shouldn't pose a problem, so he is a player.

SERIOUS NOTIONS' third in listed company at Leopardstown 88 days ago is the best piece of form on show and she's worth a chance to open her account back down in grade. Finbar Furey also arrives on the back of a good effort in better company, so he's regarded as the main danger ahead of Bergamasco.

This looks like a good opportunity for SERIOUS NOTIONS, whose Listed third at Leopardstown has been well advertised by the runner-up

Debut was promising and it's too soon to write her off. Two solid efforts over C&D and now has some experience behind her; solid claims.
1	1 (1) (5/2 -100%) Arisaig		2.5 5/2(-100%)																															(1) Arisaig 5/2, Winner at Chelmsford City in October. 7½ lengths eighth of 9 to Opera Mundi in listed race at Deauville (7f, 33/10) 31 days ago. Obvious claims back in calmer waters. Debut winner who contested a Listed race last time; respected despite the penalty.

3	3 (3) (16/1 +60%) Doha Bu Thaila		16 16/1(+60%)																															(3) Doha Bu Thaila 16/1, Foaled March 21. Harry Angel filly. Sister to 7f winner Nibras Angel.

11	11 (11) (50/1 -150%) Advindi		50 50/1(-150%)																															(11) Advindi 50/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, heavy) on debut 32 days ago. 80-1 when down the field on heavy ground at Newmarket (7f) a month ago.

7	7 (7) (150/1 -275%) Red N Blue Dream		150 150/1(-275%)																															(7) Red N Blue Dream 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 11/1, last of 6 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 34 days ago, slowly away.

ARISAIG ran out an impressive winner on her debut at Chelmsford and was far from disgraced when pitched in at Listed level at Deauville last time. Although having to concede weight all round, she sets a good standard and is very much the one to beat. State Flag also brings some decent form to the table and she warrants respect, while D Flawless is an interesting newcomer from the John and Thady Gosden yard.

ARISAIG looked above average when making a winning start at Chelmsford in October and, despite an unsuccessful venture to France since, she's capable of doubling her tally faced with an easier task. D Flawless is worthy of respect for top connections, while State Flag can probably do better.

Preference is for STATE FLAG, representing last year's winning stable, who has shown a nice bit of ability in both her runs.

5	5 (5) (5/2 +64%) Alto Sax		2.5 5/2(+64%)																															(5) Alto Sax 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, good seventh of 14 in nursery at this course (7f) 47 days ago. Has good chance on form. Met trouble in running in a race won by a stablemate here in October, may do better.
1	1 (1) (6/1 +0%) Seti		6 6/1(+0%)																															(1) Seti 6/1, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 40/1, won 12-runner maiden at this course (7f) 7 days ago, driven out. Makes handicap debut. Should have more to offer. Last of 13 over 5f at Cork in May, transformed when a big-priced winner here last week.
10	10 (10) (8/1 -129%) Dream Ticket		8 8/1(-129%)																															(10) Dream Ticket 8/1, Improved since fitted with visor, latest when narrowly denied in 9-runner nursery (5/2) at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and looks sure to go well again. Modest maiden form, has found her level in handicaps, big chance after two second placings.
13	13 (13) (9/1 +10%) Amerigo Vespucci		9 9/1(+10%)																															(13) Amerigo Vespucci 9/1, Found improvement when third of 9 in nursery (7/2) at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Claims if building on that. Only 1/2l behind Dream Ticket last time, disadvantaged now from 6lb out of the handicap.
12	12 (12) (10/1 +38%) Thia		10 10/1(+38%)																															(12) Thia 10/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 13 in nursery (17/2) at this C&D 19 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. Well exposed at this stage, looks held by Dream Ticket on C&D running last month.
7	7 (7) (10/3 +26%) Sumptuary Law		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(7) Sumptuary Law 10/3, Thrice-raced maiden. Made the frame again when third of 13 in maiden (3/1) at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Switches to handicaps now and this longer trip should suit. In the frame on all three maiden starts at this venue, this rise in distance is a positive.
3	3 (3) (13/2 -30%) Centuria		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(3) Centuria 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 14 in maiden at this course (7f, 15/2) 14 days ago, doing better under change of tactics. Likely more to come on handicap debut. Seems to be on the upgrade, fair chance of upholding recent 7f course form with Tiger King.
8	8 (8) (20/1 -43%) Cool Dan		20 20/1(-43%)																															(8) Cool Dan 20/1, 11/4, creditable second of 12 in claimer at this course (7f) 5 days ago, no match for winner. First run for yard after leaving G. M. Lyons. Respected. Second in a claimer last Friday for Ger Lyons, previously fourth in a 6f nursery.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -83%) Dandy Lichious		33 33/1(-83%)																															(4) Dandy Lichious 33/1, 18/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving G. M. Lyons when ninth of 14 in maiden at this course (7f) 21 days ago, doing too much too soon. Needs a couple of these to falter. Could be given a chance based on fourth of eight in a Curragh nursery for Ger Lyons.
9	9 (9) (33/1 -83%) Guest Star		33 33/1(-83%)																															(9) Guest Star 33/1, Below form fifth of 9 in nursery at the Curragh (8f, heavy, 16/1) 36 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others preferred. Plenty of experience, best performance came on heavy ground, ran poorly here in October.
11	11 (11) (33/1 -50%) Gregorina		33 33/1(-50%)																															(11) Gregorina 33/1, First run since leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam when below form fifth of 12 in claimer at this course (7f, 10/1) 5 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Showed some ability on AW in Britain, finished behind Cool Dan in a claimer on Irish debut.
6	6 (6) (100/1 -355%) Special Angel		100 100/1(-355%)																															(6) Special Angel 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others preferred. Best of her three maiden runs at this venue was over 6f on debut, form at 7f appears weak.

LTO Selection:

DREAM TICKET lost out by the minimum margin over 7f last month and could pick up compensation here. She has placed form over this trip on the sand and goes to work from a lovely low draw. Seti took to the Polytack when running on well to deliver by half a length over 7f at the end of last month. Robert Whearty retains the ride and his 5lb claim lessens the burden of the top weight. Amerigo Vespucci competes from out of the handicap, but was just half a length behind Dream Ticket in third in that aforementioned race after attracting plenty of support. He is likely to be putting in good late work again. Sumptuary Law, Centuria and Cool Dan are others to factor into calculations.

There should be more to come from SUMPTUARY LAW and she may be able to strike at the first time of asking in handicap company. Dream Ticket and Centuria head the list of dangers.

Touched off here a fortnight ago, DREAM TICKET has improved for the switch to handicap company on this surface and can go one better

3	3 (3) (3/1 +25%) Kodiac Thriller		3 3/1(+25%)																															(3) Kodiac Thriller 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, good fourth of 12 in nursery at this C&D 28 days ago, finishing well. Still not fully exposed. Never dangerous in fourth after missing the kick here last time; ran well.
1	1 (1) (5/1 +9%) Balon D'Or		5 5/1(+9%)																															(1) Balon D'Or 5/1, 14/1, respectable 7 lengths fourth of 10 to Dragon Leader in listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar (6f, good) 60 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Worthy of respect. Only 1-9 but highly tried of late and he has the form to be threatening off this mark.
5	5 (5) (8/1 -14%) Biographer		8 8/1(-14%)																															(5) Biographer 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 7 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW, 9/1) 35 days ago. Visor on 1st time, tongue strap on 1st time. Makes nursery debut. Not discounted. Didn't quite see out 7f last time at Lingfield and that was just about his best run yet.
2	2 (2) (13/2 -95%) Western		6.5 13/2(-95%)																															(2) Western 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, very good second of 12 in nursery at this C&D 28 days ago. Worth a chance to go one better. Comfortably his best RPR yet when going close on his nursery debut over C&D four weeks ago.
4	4 (4) (13/8 +41%) Honest Desire		1.625 13/8(+41%)																															(4) Honest Desire 13/8, Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, good sixth of 12 in nursery at this C&D 28 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Likely has a bigger effort in him. Gelded ahead of his nursery debut here where he was poorly drawn and never involved.
7	7 (7) (22/1 -83%) Free As A Bird		22 22/1(-83%)																															(7) Free As A Bird 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in maiden (20/1) at Newcastle (6f) 25 days ago. Makes nursery debut. May do better again. Respectable runs over 6f and this mark gives her a fighting chance on nursery debut.
6	6 (6) (22/1 -193%) I'm Spartacus		22 22/1(-193%)																															(6) I'm Spartacus 22/1, Creditable third of 12 in nursery (6/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Should give another good account. Got going a bit too late from midfield when a closing third at Wolverhampton.

LTO Selection:

---

Hard to rule anything out of this but KODIAC THRILLER could throw up some value. Charles Hills' colt split second-placed Western and sixth-placed Honest Desire when fourth in a messy race over C&D on his handicap debut but the way he picked up in the closing stages suggested he was the one to take out of the race. Free As A Bird looks potentially well treated off a mark of 66 for her handicap bow and could also go well.

WESTERN improved when runner-up over C&D a month ago and has the scope to do better still, so he takes marginal preference over Honest Desire, who finished well from a poor position in the same race last time. Kodiac Thriller is also of interest and some sort of case can be made for all of the others.

Western is no good thing to confirm recent course placings with KODIAC THRILLER or Honest Desire.

Six-time course winner, placed three times on turf this year, should not be ruled out.
8	8 (8) (11/2 +31%) Chavajod		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(8) Chavajod 11/2, 9/2, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 26 days ago. Back down in trip. Visor back on. Yet to win on AW but placed four times at this venue as well as on the beach at Laytown.
3	3 (3) (14/1 -27%) Celebrating Ethel		14 14/1(-27%)																															(3) Celebrating Ethel 14/1, Winner at Leopardstown in August. Seventh of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Bellewstown (7.8f, heavy) 70 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Lacks AW experience but a good sign that his single turf win was obtained on good ground.
7	7 (7) (15/2 +32%) Allo Arry		7.5 15/2(+32%)																															(7) Allo Arry 15/2, Winner at Laytown in September. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 8/1) 54 days ago. Others more persuasive. Backed up Laytown win with second over C&D, met trouble in running here last time.
11	11 (11) (18/1 -80%) You Owe Me Money		18 18/1(-80%)																															(11) You Owe Me Money 18/1, Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at this course (10.7f) 26 days ago. Back down in trip. Won twice at Gowran in May; respectable form since; fifth here last time was over further..
1	1 (1) (20/1 -25%) Higher Kingdom		20 20/1(-25%)																															(1) Higher Kingdom 20/1, C&D winner. 25/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 19 days ago, lost all chance at start. Back down in trip. Three-time course winner, 8lb lower than for his last win but recent form has been poor.
13	13 (13) (33/1 -267%) Oriental Dancer		33 33/1(-267%)																															(13) Oriental Dancer 33/1, Respectable second of 5 in handicap at Bath (8f, firm, 13/8). Off 172 days. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Must improve. Placed in three of her four handicap starts on turf for Richard Hannon, worth considering.
5	5 (5) (40/1 +20%) In Favour		40 40/1(+20%)																															(5) In Favour 40/1, 66/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, soft) 60 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Blinkers back on. Others make more appeal. Won twice for Andre Fabre early in his career, almost nothing of merit in his Irish form.
14	14 (14) (80/1 -186%) Quick Blessing		80 80/1(-186%)																															(14) Quick Blessing 80/1, Eighth of 11 in maiden (20/1) at this course (7f) 61 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Difficult ask. Good run at Leopardstown in June but has failed to build on that, has left Gavin Cromwell.
10	10 (10) (100/1 -100%) Venetian		100 100/1(-100%)																															(10) Venetian 100/1, 150/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 7 days ago. Others have achieved more. Two 1m wins in Britain, became regressive towards the rear on first two Irish starts.

PIERRE LAPIN appeals on the back of his close fourth over C&D at the start of November. That run was in a slightly higher grade and he has been dropped by 2lb. Furthermore, 5lb-claimer Robert Whearty has been booked so Pierre Lapin is on a very handy mark now. Michael O'Callaghan's Darkdeserthighway was just a neck behind Pierre Lapin in fifth over C&D and Colin Keane, who was on board when he won on his penultimate start, gets the leg up again. O'Callaghan's Rockbury Lad is another arriving on the back of a respectable fourth, but that was over 7f. He was winning form over 1m in Dundalk, though, and it isn't hard to see him featuring. Not Just Yet, with in-form James Ryan on board, and ex-British racer Oriental Dancer are others with chances while second-reserve Morning Approach kept on nicely to win over C&D last month.

PIERRE LAPIN shaped well from an unpromising position over C&D last month and, with cheekpieces back on, he's worth a chance to capitalise on a handy mark. Stablemates Rockbury Lad and Darkdeserthighway also make appeal.

Now 13lb lower than winning here 14 months ago PIERRE LAPIN appeals in this grade despite a profile as a frustrating type

9	9 (9) (7/1 -110%) Sardinian Warrior		7 7/1(-110%)																															(9) Sardinian Warrior 7/1, Foaled February 17. 200,000 gns foal, Saxon Warrior colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 6f/7f winner Ice Cave and 6f winner Cheval Blanc. Dam closely related to very smart 1m-1¼m winner Foxes Tales. Respected on debut. 200,000gns foal; 6th foal; half-brother to four winners including Ice Cave (7f AW; RPR 84).
3	3 (3) (7/4 -59%) El Cordobes		1.75 7/4(-59%)																															(3) El Cordobes 7/4, Foaled March 12. 2,000,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt. Half-brother to useful 7f/1m winner Amniarix. Dam, winner up to 8.3f (2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to high-class winner up to 7f Tante Rose. Noteworthy newcomer. 2,000,000gns yearling; fourth foal; brother to 1m AW winner Venus Rosewater (RPR 83).
1	1 (1) (7/2 +56%) Asimov		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(1) Asimov 7/2, Given a considerate introduction when sixth of 13 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, soft, 16/1) on debut 33 days ago. Could do better with that first experience behind him. 16-1 at Newmarket (7f, heavy) where he produced notable late work to finish sixth of 13.
2	2 (2) (9/1 +18%) Aulis		9 9/1(+18%)																															(2) Aulis 9/1, In need of the experience but showed ability when sixth of 10 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, soft, 20/1) on his first outing 33 days ago. Should have more to offer. Never dangerous after starting slowly at Newmarket (7f, heavy; 20-1).
6	6 (6) (9/4 +44%) Kamboo		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(6) Kamboo 9/4, Showed promise amidst greenness when sixth of 13 in minor event at this C&D (10/1) on debut 3 weeks ago. Can make his presence felt with improvement to come. A well-backed 10-1 chance when beaten only 5l over C&D three weeks ago after a wide trip.
11	11 (11) (33/1 -32%) Wonder Kid		33 33/1(-32%)																															(11) Wonder Kid 33/1, Again prominent in the betting but was still learning when fifth of 11 in maiden (5/1) at Chelmsford City (1m) 26 days ago. Clearly thought capable of better. Cost 125,000gns but 8l defeats at York and Chelmsford hint at limitations in novice races.
12	12 (12) (66/1 -500%) Mucha Muchacha		66 66/1(-500%)																															(12) Mucha Muchacha 66/1, Very green and never involved when tenth of 13 in minor event (18/1) at this C&D on debut 3 weeks ago. Entitled to do better this time around. Easy to back for a newcomer from this yard when tenth over C&D three weeks ago.
10	10 (10) (80/1 -100%) Wide Margin		80 80/1(-100%)																															(10) Wide Margin 80/1, Hasn't made much of an impact in 3 starts to date, eighth of 12 in maiden (28/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 22 days ago. Will be of more appeal in handicaps. No closer than 5l in a trio of 7f AW races and doesn't look up to winning one of these.
7	7 (7) (100/1 -300%) Profitman		100 100/1(-300%)																															(7) Profitman 100/1, Foaled February 13. 27,000 gns foal, £38,000 yearling, Profitable gelding. Dam 7f/1m winner who stayed 1¼m. Other newcomers in the line-up make more appeal. £38,000 yearling; third foal; dam Listed-placed 7f-1m winner (RPR 86).
4	4 (4) (200/1 +0%) Harlington		200 200/1(+0%)																															(4) Harlington 200/1, Hinted at ability first time up when sixth of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 200/1) 22 days ago, keeping on having had plenty to do entering straight. Still looks to be up against it, though. After starting slowly he worked his way to a mid-division finish at Wolverhampton.
8	8 (8) (250/1 -150%) Publicity		250 250/1(-150%)																															(8) Publicity 250/1, Still green and never a threat when eighth of 10 in minor event (200/1) at this course (7f) 56 days ago. Likely to need more time. Beaten double-digit lengths in races at about 7f and he's one for handicaps.

LTO Selection:

Asimov, a staying on sixth in a 7f Newmarket maiden first time out, looks the pick of those to have already raced but it's hard to look beyond beautifully-bred Godolphin newcomer EL CORDOBES. The son of Frankel changed hands for a cool 2,000,000gns as a yearling and could prove a cut above, although Charlie Appleby has had a few turned over at short prices recently. Sardinian Warrior, out of a Group 1-winning dam, is another debutant to note.

This could go to a newcomer, with preference for EL CORDOBES who makes plenty of appeal on paper and can provide Charlie Appleby with another first-time-out winner. Sardinian Warrior is also one to note on debut, while Kamboo made a promising start at this C&D 3 weeks ago and is the pick of those with experience.

He could be better drawn but EL CORDOBES fetched a cool 2,000,000gns as a yearling and this doesn't look a strong novice.

Creditable second of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 4/1) 14 days ago, worst of draw. Shortlist material. Maiden has been 2nd five times, incl' over 7f here last twice; go close with a repeat.

9	9 (9) (22/1 +21%) Sense Of Security		22 22/1(+21%)																															(9) Sense Of Security 22/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. 80/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 5 days ago. Soundly beaten in two C&D handicaps lately and needs to find much more.

THERIVERRUNSDEEP put in her best effort for some time when beaten half a length into second over C&D last month. She was very well supported that day which gives hope that she can back it up. Although she has gone up 6lb, she is still on lowly mark. Senado Square runs under the 7lb penalty after obliging over the minimum trip last Friday. He has form over 6f and has to be respected on what is likely to be his last outing before a wind operation. It wouldn't be a surprise to see James Henry get his turn. He has finished runner-up in his last two outings over 7f and the drop back in trip could see him home. You wouldn't want to be ruling out Cholita, with champion jockey Colin Keane up, and the game No Speed Limit.

JAMES HENRY has been knocking on the door of late and should go well again. Theriverrunsdeep and Senado Square head the dangers.

Having been runner-up the last twice here over 7f, JAMES HENRY could get off the mark today dropped to this trip.

3	3 (3) (3/1 +57%) Cool Legend		3 3/1(+57%)																															(3) Cool Legend 3/1, €410,000 yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Easy to back but showed ability when fifth of 10 in maiden (13/2) at this C&D on debut 30 days ago. Likely to improve. Encouraging debut fifth in C&D maiden; this Sea The Stars colt can build on it now.
7	7 (7) (4/1 -14%) Immortal Knight		4 4/1(-14%)																															(7) Immortal Knight 4/1, Saxon Warrior colt. €60,000Y, resold 300,000Y. Third foal. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Ancient Rome out of smart winner up to 10.5f (2-y-o 1m winner) Gagnoa. Newcomers from yard often fancied. Fetched 300,000gns as a yearling and this Saxon Warrior colt must enter calculations.
4	4 (4) (10/3 +17%) Fighter Command		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(4) Fighter Command 10/3, Foaled February 12. Dubawi colt. Brother to useful 1¼m winner Hidden Story and half-brother to 2-y-o 1m winner Bouquet. Plenty to like on paper. This Dubawi colt is in excellent hands and appeals on paper so needs considering.
9	9 (9) (13/8 +68%) Mina Rashid		1.625 13/8(+68%)																															(9) Mina Rashid 13/8, Foaled March 24. 110,000 gns foal, 50,000 gns yearling, Almanzor colt. Looked a nice middle-distance prospect when third of 6 in minor event at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) on debut 56 days ago. Open to progress. Shaped well on his debut when third at Nottingham; this son of Almanzor has more to offer.
10	10 (10) (25/1 -79%) Pratarine		25 25/1(-79%)																															(10) Pratarine 25/1, Foaled March 28. 14,000 gns yearling, resold 80,000 gns yearling, Too Darn Hot colt. Half-brother to 7f-9.5f winner Maktoob and 1¼m winner Mantoog. Wears blinkers. Respected newcomer. Blinkered for his debut and this Too Darn Holt colt is worth a market check.
2	2 (2) (50/1 -25%) Caprelo		50 50/1(-25%)																															(2) Caprelo 50/1, Ulysses colt. Went backwards from debut when last of 9 in maiden at this C&D (25/1) 30 days ago. Probably one for the longer term. Last in maiden over C&D 30 days ago; he is in good hands and should still do better.
5	5 (5) (50/1 +24%) Givitawhirl		50 50/1(+24%)																															(5) Givitawhirl 50/1, Golden Horn gelding. 12/1, last of 6 in minor event at Thirsk (7f, soft) on debut 79 days ago. Looks one for further down the line. Last in Thirsk novice on his debut; since gelded and he needs to take a big step forward.
6	6 (6) (100/1 -25%) Godsend		100 100/1(-25%)																															(6) Godsend 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 6 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 28 days ago. Should have more to offer at some stage but possibly not until handicapping. Nathaniel colt who has hinted at promise; sort to do better in handicaps over further.
11	11 (11) (200/1 -100%) Sicilian Sosizza		200 200/1(-100%)																															(11) Sicilian Sosizza 200/1, Dark Angel gelding. 5,500 gns 2-y-o, Dark Angel gelding. 150/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut 27 days ago. Hard to fancy. Seventh of nine in 7f Chelmsford novice on his debut last month; lots more is required.
1	1 (1) (200/1 -100%) Advert Rules		200 200/1(-100%)																															(1) Advert Rules 200/1, Advertise gelding. Related to some useful types but was very green and failed to beat a rival when in 11-runner minor event at this course (7f, 80/1) on debut 51 days ago. Very green when last in 7f novice here; this son of Advertise can take a step forward.

An astronomical purchase at the sales last year, KALIDASA arrives with a lofty reputation being a son of Frankel out of a So Mi Dar mare, who has produced some top class performers in recent years. He can take this en route to better things, although fellow newcomer Fighter Command looks a big danger, along with Cool Legend, who should improve for a promising debut over C&D last month. Immortal Knight and Mina Rashid can also have a say in proceedings.

KALIDASA could barely possess a stronger pedigree and Charlie Appleby's newcomer is fancied to make a winning start to his career. Mina Rashid sets the standard amongst those with form in the book, whilst the Gosdens' Fighter Command and Roger Varian's Immortal Knight are other appealing debutants.

This could go to a newcomer with Charlie Appleby's Frankel colt KALIDASA, who fetched 2,800,000gns as a yearling, getting the verdict.

6	6 (6) (5/4 +50%) Jazzy Dancer		1.25 5/4(+50%)																															(6) Jazzy Dancer 5/4, One win from 28 Flat runs but ran respectably when third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, well positioned. Blinkers back on. Good chance on pick of form. Placed over 6f/7f here the last twice and can be involved with a repeat.
3	3 (3) (6/1 -9%) Might And Mercy		6 6/1(-9%)																															(3) Might And Mercy 6/1, Course winner who ran better than for a while when fourth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at this course (7f) 14 days ago. On a dangerous mark and big chance if building on that. A falling mark this year but a better effort over 7f last time; chance if building on that.

1	1 (1) (12/1 -140%) Iva Batt		12 12/1(-140%)																															(1) Iva Batt 12/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022 and ran below form when fourth of 14 in claimer at this course (7f, 11/2) 40 days ago. Rejoined yard after leaving Adrian McGuinness. Not taken lightly on pick of her efforts. C&D winner is back with original trainer; off an attractive mark if even near her old form.
14	14 (14) (14/1 +0%) Zig Zag Zyggy		14 14/1(+0%)																															(14) Zig Zag Zyggy 14/1, Course winner who again ran poorly when twelfth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, left poorly placed.

12	12 (12) (22/1 +12%) Princess Plumeria		22 22/1(+12%)																															(12) Princess Plumeria 22/1, C&D winner. 40/1, eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f). Off 13 months. Down in trip. Won a C&D maiden claimer in 2021; best watched on return after an absence.
10	10 (10) (22/1 +33%) Famous Enough		22 22/1(+33%)																															(10) Famous Enough 22/1, Modest maiden. 20/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 35 days ago. Maiden after 10 starts hasn't shown enough lately to be of interest.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -25%) Ceres Ring		50 50/1(-25%)																															(9) Ceres Ring 50/1, Poor maiden. 66/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Uphill task. Well beaten on last number of starts and others preferred.
7	7 (7) (66/1 -164%) Thirtysecondstreet		66 66/1(-164%)																															(7) Thirtysecondstreet 66/1, Modest maiden. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 16/1). Off 9 months. Twice beaten approx' 4l over 7f here last spring; likely best watched on return.
8	8 (8) (66/1 -164%) Brookie Cookie		66 66/1(-164%)																															(8) Brookie Cookie 66/1, Modest maiden. Twenty fourth of 25 in handicap (33/1) at Cork (7f, good to firm), slowly away. Off 91 days. Makes polytrack debut. Poor over 7f at Cork last time but previously shown snippets of form; AW debut.

There looks like there will be plenty of pace on in this contest and an each-way chance is taken on POET'S PRIDE. David Marnane's charge is capable of being played from the off the pace and is just 1lb higher in the weights than when he won over C&D in February. Connections have enlisted Seamie Heffernan for the first time on Jazzy Dancer and the pair have definite claims. This five-year-old gelding has been placed on his last two visits to Dundalk while Might And Mercy has been sliding down the weights and showed more spark when fourth over 7f last month. She is on a dangerous mark. Iva Batt was claimed by Keith Watson after finishing fourth over 7f at this venue in October. She has the ability to get involved in the distribution of prize money.

MIGHT AND MERCY has fallen a long way in the weights and could be ready to strike having taken a clear step back in the right direction when fourth at this venue 2 weeks ago. Jazzy Dancer and Iva Batt are a couple of potential threats.

It could be worth taking a chance on REINFORCE who has run well in maidens here lately on both starts for this yard.

8	8 (8) (2/1 -23%) Throubi		2 2/1(-23%)																															(8) Throubi 2/1, Promising type. 7/1 and hooded for 1st time, fifth of 14 in minor event at this C&D 30 days ago, noted travelling well and finishing with running left. Bred to be useful and she's one to be interested in. Eyecatching fifth in C&D novice, finishing well under a patient ride; leading claims.
1	1 (1) (8/13 +32%) Twirling		0.615385 8/13(+32%)																															(1) Twirling 8/13, Churchill filly who created a good impression when landing a C&D novice in January. Absent for 10 months, again shaped well when third of 14 in novice event back here 30 days ago. Remains one to keep on side with likelihood of more to come. C&D winner; promising third here latest; yard took this 12 months ago so she's a player.
5	5 (5) (11/2 -65%) Flindrikin		5.5 11/2(-65%)																															(5) Flindrikin 11/2, Frankel filly. Better for debut when third of 8 in a Newcastle novice (1m) 3 weeks ago, taking a while to hit full stride but keeping on well final 1f. In excellent hands and likely type to progress further, including when tackling 10f. Encouraging third in 1m Newcastle novice; open to more improvement so needs considering.
3	3 (3) (250/1 -150%) Silk Purse		250 250/1(-150%)																															(3) Silk Purse 250/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW, 125/1) on debut 18 days ago. Longer trips/handicaps likely to be more her bag. Eighth in 1m2f Lingfield novice on belated debut; she needs to take a big step forward.
4	4 (4) (250/1 -213%) Bloom Of Greece		250 250/1(-213%)																															(4) Bloom Of Greece 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, seventh of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW) 18 days ago. Low-grade handicaps will be more suitable on the back of this. Hinted at promise when seventh in Lingfield novice latest; may do better in handicaps.
6	6 (6) (500/1 -150%) Isabelle		500 500/1(-150%)																															(6) Isabelle 500/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in maiden at Lingfield (10f, AW, 300/1) in February. Absent since and she's hard to make a case for. Failed to beat a rival in her two runs at start of 2023; others much preferred.

The key to this race looks to be the recent clash over C&D between Twirling (third) and THROUBI (fifth), when the latter appeared a shade unlucky having to wait for room before staying on strongly at the finish. She can reverse the form and get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. Flindrikin improved from her first to second start when third at Newcastle last month and she is also entitled to be thereabouts.

Impressive when scoring on debut here earlier in the year, TWIRLING produced a promising comeback effort when third over C&D 4 weeks ago and, remaining with potential, she's fancied to successfully concede weight all round. Throubi caught the eye when finishing behind the selection back fron a long time off and rates the chief threat, ahead of Flindrikin from the William Haggas stable.

Preference is for THROUBI who really caught the eye when a running-on fifth over C&D after an absence and can open her account.

5	5 (5) (5/1 +29%) Final Check		5 5/1(+29%)																															(5) Final Check 5/1, Thrived in handicaps, the step up to this trip bringing about a little more progress as she made it 3 wins from last 4 starts at Newcastle 33 days ago. Rider's claim off-sets latest weight rise and she's well worthy of interest again. Has won 3 of her last 4, including over this trip at Newcastle; up 5lb but respected.
11	11 (11) (7/2 +50%) Limestone Red		3.5 7/2(+50%)																															(11) Limestone Red 7/2, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D (5/1) 19 days ago, staying on well. Yard having good spell. Likely to continue in form. Improved for cheekpieces and a step up in trip when winning over C&D; up 7lb and in grade.
3	3 (3) (7/2 +0%) Fairytale Princess		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(3) Fairytale Princess 7/2, 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (9/2) at this C&D 19 days ago, well ridden. Expected to be bang there. Has won 3 from 4 since switched to this surface; up 3lb from last time but respected again.
9	9 (9) (11/1 +0%) Storm Eric		11 11/1(+0%)																															(9) Storm Eric 11/1, Course winner. Latest win here in November. 7/2, good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, every chance entering final 1f and keeping on. This looks tougher but he's still unexposed at this trip. Dual 7f winner but stayed this trip well when 2nd last time; a player off 3lb higher.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +19%) Walhaan		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(2) Walhaan 13/2, In good form prior to ending losing run in 14-runner C&D handicap last month. Good fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 11 days ago and remains well treated on old form returned to this sphere. Won over C&D last month and a fine hurdle run since; 6lb higher now but go well again.
6	6 (6) (14/1 -40%) Spy		14 14/1(-40%)																															(6) Spy 14/1, Unreliable sort. 6/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, good 1¾ lengths third of 14 to Walhaan in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago. Needs to build on that here. Back to form when 3rd to Walhaan over C&D last time; be involved from the same mark.
12	12 (12) (15/2 +46%) Giselles Defence		7.5 15/2(+46%)																															(12) Giselles Defence 15/2, 9/1, very good third of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 28 days ago. Should remain competitive stepping back up in trip. Maiden was just denied over 1m last time but has form over this trip, so can run well.
10	10 (10) (18/1 +36%) Garrick Painter		18 18/1(+36%)																															(10) Garrick Painter 18/1, Creditable 3¾ lengths eighth of 14 to Fairytale Princess in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 19 days ago, never better than midfield. Tongue strap on 1st time. Something to find on form. AW winner in UK was 4l behind Fairytale Princess last time; needs more in a tongue-tie.
8	8 (8) (22/1 +45%) Cu Chulainn		22 22/1(+45%)																															(8) Cu Chulainn 22/1, First run since leaving Brian Meehan when fifth of 7 in minor event (28/1) at this course (7f) 12 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals (on back of 14 months off). Significantly up in trip and this promises to reveal more. Dual AW winner in UK found 7f too sharp on debut for this yard after an absence; do better.
7	7 (7) (25/1 -56%) Yokkell		25 25/1(-56%)																															(7) Yokkell 25/1, 15/2, first run since leaving Jarlath P. Fahey when good 2¼ lengths fourth of 14 to Walhaan in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago, nearest finish. Each-way possibilities. Dual turf winner has run respectably over C&D last twice; can be involved again.
1	1 (1) (28/1 -367%) Satono Chevalier		28 28/1(-367%)																															(1) Satono Chevalier 28/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 5/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) in April, ridden early in the straight and keeping on. Not out of things on return to action with promising rider taking off handy 5 lb. Won twice over 1m4f here early in the year and a solid Lingfield run after; absent since.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -18%) Eskimo Komet		33 33/1(-18%)																															(4) Eskimo Komet 33/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 25/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft). Off 125 days. Back up in trip. Chance on old form. Course winner over 7f has run well at times this year; poor when last seen but not ignored.
14	14 (14) (40/1 +0%) My Kurkum		40 40/1(+0%)																															(14) My Kurkum 40/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap at Down Royal (7f, soft, 12/1) 72 days ago. Significantly up in trip now and the assessor continues to relinquish his grip. Worth noting if market speaks in his favour. AW winner in France has been mixing Flat and hurdles for this yard; has to return to form.
13	13 (13) (50/1 -100%) Rio Largo		50 50/1(-100%)																															(13) Rio Largo 50/1, Latest win at Galway (7f) in July. 16/1, creditable eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 28 days ago, rider dropped whip around 1f out and no extra. Significantly back up in trip. Dual turf winner over 7f has form at this track but is unproven over this trip.

A cracking race for the grade. Ger Lyons' FAIRYTALE PRINCESS is moving through the ranks with some purpose and is taken to bring up her hat-trick. She has been really enjoying herself on Polytrack in winning three of her last four including twice over this trip. Satono Chevalier's two victories over 1m4f at this track in February earned him a shot at a valuable apprentice handicap on the All Weather Championships Finals Day at Lingfield in April, and he was only beaten just over a length and a-half into fifth. If fully wound up on his return, he would be a significant threat. Limestone Red's C&D success was boosted when the runner-up came out and scored last Friday. Final Check, Storm Eric, Walhaan and Spy add plenty of spice to the mix.

Plenty of in-form sorts including FINAL CHECK who showed further improvement for the step up in trip when making it 3 wins from her last 4 starts at Newcastle 33 days ago and all looks set fair for another bold showing. Fairytale Princess is another thriving filly and she's feared. Limestone Red and Walhaan can also feature.

Perhaps SPY could bridge the 2l deficit with Walhaan from last time now that the latter is 6lb higher.

10	10 (10) (5/1 -43%) Daydream Express		5 5/1(-43%)																															(10) Daydream Express 5/1, In first-time cheekpieces, improved when third of 10 on handicap debut (3/1) at Newcastle (1m) 3 weeks ago, sticking to task. Respected for her leading connections. Very good third at Newcastle three weeks ago; can do better still so needs considering.
3	3 (3) (6/4 +70%) Elladonna		1.5 6/4(+70%)																															(3) Elladonna 6/4, Took a step forward when fourth of 12 in minor event (15/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 46 days ago, despite making effort earlier than ideal. Capable of better still as she makes handicap debut. Major player. Progressive filly; good Wolver fourth latest; big player with more to come now h'capping.
4	4 (4) (7/1 +0%) Lady Mojito		7 7/1(+0%)																															(4) Lady Mojito 7/1, Again ran respectably when fifth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at this course (7f) 30 days ago. Has edged further down in the weights, so she merits consideration as she goes back up in trip with cheekpieces on 1st time. Yet to score this term but arrives in decent nick; can go well in first-time cheekpieces.
6	6 (6) (9/1 +10%) Creme Chantilly		9 9/1(+10%)																															(6) Creme Chantilly 9/1, Successful at Chelmsford City (1m) in October. However, failed to repeat that effort when last of 8 in handicap (3/1) at the same C&D 39 days ago, very slowly away. Capable if on a going day. Won at Chelmsford in October but last there since; not the easiest to catch right.
8	8 (8) (12/1 -85%) Noble Sovereign		12 12/1(-85%)																															(8) Noble Sovereign 12/1, Improved again when seventh of 13 in maiden (25/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) in May. Off 6 months ahead of first run for yard after leaving Sir Mark Todd. Could have more to offer as she makes handicap debut. Progressive form for Sir Mark Todd in the spring; not discounted on stable/handicap debut.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -60%) Platinum Jubilee		12 12/1(-60%)																															(7) Platinum Jubilee 12/1, After 5 months off, ran to similar level as previously when sixth of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (1m, 18/1) 3 weeks ago. Improvement required as she goes handicapping. Brought along steadily; sixth at Newcastle latest; can take a step forward now in h'caps.
9	9 (9) (15/2 +0%) Intricate Pillar		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(9) Intricate Pillar 15/2, Course winner. Run best excused when seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW, 16/5) 18 days ago, forced wide throughout. Had run well on her previous 2 starts so could bounce back. In good form until only seventh at Lingfield 18 days ago; the sort to bounce back.
5	5 (5) (20/1 -122%) Goldkit		20 20/1(-122%)																															(5) Goldkit 20/1, Possibly unsuited by conditions when fourth of 5 in minor event at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 5/1) when last seen in April. Needs to get back on the up returned to all-weather after 8 months off (has had wind op). Fair maiden; had a wind op/off since April but she still can't be ruled out.
1	1 (1) (22/1 -83%) Valentinka		22 22/1(-83%)																															(1) Valentinka 22/1, Below form when fifth of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (1m, AW) on her latest outing in April. Others make more appeal as she returns from 7 months off. Winless in 2023 and she beat only one in 1m Lingfield handicap in April.
13	13 (13) (33/1 -175%) Aussi Mandate		33 33/1(-175%)																															(13) Aussi Mandate 33/1, Best effort when fourth of 12 in minor event (125/1) at Newbury (7f, good) in May. Needs to find more again as she makes her first start in a handicap after a break. Fair form when fourth in a pair of novices; not dismissed on h'cap debut after absence.
11	11 (11) (50/1 -52%) Soi Dao		50 50/1(-52%)																															(11) Soi Dao 50/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. After 3 months off, probably needed the run on first start since leaving Michael Fenton when ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 33/1) 19 days ago. Others still preferred. Looked rusty on stable debut when ninth at Wolver 19 days ago; can take a step forward.
12	12 (12) (80/1 -400%) Dalrymple		80 80/1(-400%)																															(12) Dalrymple 80/1, Well held when last of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good, 200/1) in May. Off 6 months ahead of first run for yard after leaving Ed Dunlop. Remains with potential now upped in trip for her handicap debut. Brought along steadily for Ed Dunlop in the spring; no forlorn hope on stable/h'cap debut.
2	2 (2) (80/1 -100%) Renesmee		80 80/1(-100%)																															(2) Renesmee 80/1, Opened account at Yarmouth in August (final outing for Kevin Philippart de Foy). Below form both starts since, in first-time visor when twelfth of 13 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D 28 days ago. Best watched. Won at Yarmouth but well below par on both runs since for new yard; others appeal more.

LTO Selection:

A tentative vote goes to NOBLE SOVEREIGN, who was an highly-encouraging second over C&D on her penultimate start and now makes her first start for the shrewd David Loughnane stable. A mark of 68 on her handicap debut looks manageable and she can see off the steadily-improving Daydream Express and Elladonna, who wasn't beaten far the last twice and should be suited by dropping back in trip. Others to note include Aussi Mandate, Creme Chantilly and Platinum Jubilee.

ELLADONNA improved when fourth at Wolverhampton on her latest outing, edged out close home having made her effort earlier than ideal, so she can build on that to make a winning handicap debut. Daydream Express is also open to further progress and could be the main danger, with Lady Mojito completing the shortlist.

James Fanshawe's progressive ELLADONNA caught the eye when fourth in a Wolverhampton novice and can make a winning start in handicaps.

3	3 (3) (2/1 +50%) Positive Impact		2 2/1(+50%)																															(3) Positive Impact 2/1, Smart gelding who posted career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 32 days ago, easily. Shortlist material. Has a record of 2-3 on AW after dominating from the front in a 1m handicap at Chelmsford.
6	6 (6) (2/1 +20%) Majestic Pride		2 2/1(+20%)																															(6) Majestic Pride 2/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 5/2, good ¾-length fourth of 8 in listed race at Newmarket (7f, good). Off 7 months. More required on return here but gelded since and may be capable of better yet. Had a long time off and returns gelded, but looks open to improvement.
1	1 (1) (6/1 -33%) Al Mubhir		6 6/1(-33%)																															(1) Al Mubhir 6/1, Smart colt. Acquitted himself well when third of 10 in listed race (89/10) at Saint-Cloud (8f, heavy) 19 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Not his first placing at Listed level when a 3l third at Saint-Cloud 19 days ago.
5	5 (5) (12/1 -85%) Grey's Monument		12 12/1(-85%)																															(5) Grey's Monument 12/1, Much improved equipped with blinkers/faced with softer ground, winning twice as a juvenile. Second at this level at Sandown in May and far from disgraced when third at Goodwood (8f) last time. Respected on polytrack debut. Probably has to step up but he's one of the few in here who like to be handy.
9	9 (9) (12/1 +14%) Makinmedoit		12 12/1(+14%)																															(9) Makinmedoit 12/1, Useful filly. Bit below form 4 lengths fourth of 13 in listed race (8/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 25 days ago, left poorly placed. Drop in trip not guaranteed to suit. Slow start was no help when a 4l fourth in a solid Listed race at Newcastle last time.
4	4 (4) (15/2 -36%) Tempus		7.5 15/2(-36%)																															(4) Tempus 15/2, Smart gelding. Seven wins from 22 Flat runs. 16/1, creditable seventh of 30 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm), making effort earlier than ideal. Off 168 days. Must enter calculations. Wasn't far away in the Royal Hunt Cup on his final start and he's a dual AW winner.
2	2 (2) (25/1 -108%) Alrehb		25 25/1(-108%)																															(2) Alrehb 25/1, Useful gelding. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to firm, 11/1) 89 days ago. Better expected back on AW but work to do with principals here. Won twice on the AW earlier in the year but very patchy in the meantime.
8	8 (8) (33/1 -32%) Lightship		33 33/1(-32%)																															(8) Lightship 33/1, Useful filly. C&D winner. 7 lengths eleventh of 12 in listed race at Lingfield (8f, AW, 16/1) 29 days ago. Has work to do. Dual C&D winner but worryingly below par in both her runs following a break.
7	7 (7) (80/1 -627%) Another Romance		80 80/1(-627%)																															(7) Another Romance 80/1, Useful filly. 25 lengths last of 11 to Believing in listed race (13/2) at Pontefract (6f, good). Off 108 days. First run for yard after leaving Simon & Ed Crisford. Hood back on. Others more persuasive. Looks up against it in the reapplied hood (usual tongue-tie missing).

MAJESTIC PRIDE remains unexposed and was only beaten a length into fourth at this level when last seen in May. The son of Shamardal has been gelded subsequently and it would be no surprise to see him return to winning ways here. Al Mubhir has filled third place in this grade on two of his last three starts and he can go well once again, while Tempus edges out Grey's Monument to be best of the rest.

This can go to POSITIVE IMPACT, who has won both his starts on this surface and arrives on the back of a personal best at Chelmsford last month. Al Mubhir and Tempus are feared most.

A good few with chances but MAKINMEDOIT should have a part to play if getting a strong pace to aim at back over 1m.

10	10 (10) (4/1 +60%) Blazeon Five		4 4/1(+60%)																															(10) Blazeon Five 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ascot in July.

Merits consideration. Encouraging return after 12 months off/yard debut when fourth over C&D; considered.

Made it five AW wins on the spin over C&D in July; merits serious consideration on return.

Just 1 lb higher now and can't be ruled out. Excellent C&D 2nd on first Flat run for over three years 16 days ago; well in the mix.
1	1 (1) (11/1 +21%) Enemy		11 11/1(+21%)																															(1) Enemy 11/1, 8/1, 2¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Sir Chauvelin in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs a couple of these to falter. Not discredited when sixth to Sir Chauvelin over C&D; shortlisted off an easing mark.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -85%) Vino Victrix		12 12/1(-85%)																															(7) Vino Victrix 12/1, C&D winner. 5/2, 2 lengths fifth of 8 to Sir Chauvelin in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Fairly treated but others preferred for win purposes. C&D scorer; solid C&D fifth four weeks ago so he must enter calculations eased 1lb.
5	5 (5) (12/1 -100%) Duty Of Care		12 12/1(-100%)																															(5) Duty Of Care 12/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fourteenth of 16 in handicap (28/1) at Newmarket (14f, soft). Off 7 months. Had wind operation since. Can go well fresh and is not out of things. Off seven months but this two-time C&D scorer is not ruled out after a wind op.
14	14 (14) (13/2 +0%) Duke Of Oxford		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(14) Duke Of Oxford 13/2, 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Confirmed promise of previous run when narrowly taking 14-runner handicap over C&D 16 days ago by head from Zoran. Just 3 lb higher (1 lb out of the weights) now and is one for the shortlist. Improved of late, landing C&D h'cap by a head from Zoran; up 3lb but very much considered.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +13%) Sleeping Lion		6.5 13/2(+13%)																															(2) Sleeping Lion 13/2, C&D winner. 7/2, creditable head second of 8 to Sir Chauvelin in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Likely to be in mix again. Winless since early 2022 but just edged out by Sir Chauvelin over C&D; can go well again.
8	8 (8) (16/1 -60%) Sir Chauvelin		16 16/1(-60%)																															(8) Sir Chauvelin 16/1, Had several of these rivals behind when narrowly taking 8-runner handicap over C&D 28 days ago by head from Sleeping Lion. 2 lb rise fair and must enter calculations. C&D winner latest when set plenty to do; not dismissed despite a 2lb rise.
3	3 (3) (18/1 -100%) Rainbow Dreamer		18 18/1(-100%)																															(3) Rainbow Dreamer 18/1, 5-time C&D winner. Eleven wins from 42 Flat runs. 7½ lengths seventh of 8 to Sir Chauvelin in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 28 days ago. Others more persuasive. Not at best after four months off over C&D latest but 5-time C&D scorer can bounce back.
13	13 (13) (33/1 -136%) September Power		33 33/1(-136%)																															(13) September Power 33/1, 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at York in September. Creditable 2¼ lengths fourth of 14 to Duke of Oxford in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 16 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. 1 lb out of the weights. Solid fourth to Duke Of Oxford over C&D 16 days ago; she ought to be in the shake-up.
9	9 (9) (40/1 -43%) Citizen General		40 40/1(-43%)																															(9) Citizen General 40/1, Five wins from 18 Flat runs. 9/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 18 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Significantly back up in trip. Blinkers back on. Work to do. Without headgear when fair Lingfield 7th latest; can bounce back in refitted blinkers.
4	4 (4) (66/1 -313%) The Grand Visir		66 66/1(-313%)																															(4) The Grand Visir 66/1, Twenty four runs since last win in 2019. 50/1, bit below form twelfth of 31 in handicap at Newmarket (18f, good to soft) 53 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Others more appealing. Without a victory since 2019 but still useful and can't be dismissed off a falling mark.

LTO Selection:

---

THE GRAND VISIR has faced some stiff tasks since finishing third off a 2lb higher mark over 2m at the Ascot's Shergar Cup meeting in August. The veteran can be unpredictable but he is more than capable of winning a race of this nature if on a going day. Sir Chauvelin has to be of interest having accounted for a number of these when winning over C&D four weeks ago, while Sleeping Lion and Duty Of Care complete the shortlist.

MELAKAZ enhanced his fine record on AW when scoring over C&D in July and remains on a workable mark. He gets the nod in what looks a highly competitive contest. Duke of Oxford and Sir Chauvelin head the list of dangers.

Plenty are in with a shout but C&D scorers Melakaz and BLAZEON FIVE have much to recommend them and could hold sway.

8	8 (8) (4/1 +87%) Raintown		4 4/1(+87%)																															(8) Raintown 4/1, Enjoyed a productive 2-y-o campaign on the AW, completing the hat-trick on New Year's Eve. Little impact this season, though, and is hard to be confident about despite slipping mark. Failed to make the frame in five runs this term; much more needed after his layoff.
10	10 (10) (7/1 +0%) Royal Dream		7 7/1(+0%)																															(10) Royal Dream 7/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in August. 7/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 11 days ago. Enters calculations. Back on track when runner-up at Lingfield 11 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up.

Back down in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Sound claims again. Good second at Wolverhampton 11 days ago; can go well again on her Polytrack debut.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +17%) Gentle Whinny		4.5 9/2(+17%)																															(4) Gentle Whinny 9/2, Lightly-raced winner. Shaped much better than the result when fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 30 days ago, caught wide throughout in strongly-run race. Ranks high on the shortlist from eased mark. Caught eye with C&D fifth latest, racing wide; big player off a 2lb lower mark.
11	11 (11) (11/1 -36%) Page Three		11 11/1(-36%)																															(11) Page Three 11/1, In first-time cheekpieces, creditable second of 13 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D 28 days ago, having run of race. Wide draw not ideal but she can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. First-time cheekpieces when second over C&D four weeks ago; needs to back it up.
2	2 (2) (12/1 -25%) Ocean Heights		12 12/1(-25%)																															(2) Ocean Heights 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers. Very good third of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 33/1) 16 days ago, running on. Can't be ruled out with longer trip promising to suit. Good third here 16 days ago; needs considering with the step back up in trip a likely plus.
13	13 (13) (13/2 +0%) Geelong		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(13) Geelong 13/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Windsor in October. 11/2, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago, well positioned. Looks competitive on form. C&D winner; good fourth over C&D latest so he can make his presence felt again.
1	1 (1) (20/1 +33%) Suffrajet		20 20/1(+33%)																															(1) Suffrajet 20/1, Still lightly raced for her age and wasn't disgraced when sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) in January, but has bit to prove on back of a lengthy absence. Off ten months since creditable sixth at Newcastle; needs to hit the ground running.
12	12 (12) (25/1 +18%) Secret Potion		25 25/1(+18%)																															(12) Secret Potion 25/1, Laboured effort when sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 14 days ago. Has work to do. In just fair form this term, soon ridden when sixth at Wolver 2 weeks ago; more is needed.
7	7 (7) (28/1 -106%) Devizes		28 28/1(-106%)																															(7) Devizes 28/1, Course winner. Latest win here in June. Good sixth of 13 in handicap at this course (16f, 14/1). Off 114 days. Significantly down in trip. Others look better treated. Solid effort here when sixth of 13 in 2m handicap in August; respected after a break.

LTO Selection:

PAGE THREE put in a career-best effort when beaten a neck into second over C&D a month ago and Andrew Balding's filly could get off the mark now just 1lb higher in the ratings. The unexposed Story Horse was also narrowly denied on his most recent outing and is an obvious threat, while Absolute Queen and Royal Dream are others to consider.

Several with sound claims here, though GENTLE WHINNY makes most appeal on the back of an encouraging effort over C&D last month. Royal Dream is a player from the same mark as when second at Lingfield less than a fortnight ago, with Ocean Heights, who promises to benefit from the longer trip, narrowly taken to complete the placings over Absolute Queen and Geelong.

Low-mileage GENTLE WHINNY (nap) made a promising AW start when fifth over C&D and that form is really strong.

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.
