1	2 1st (2) (2/9 +61%) Ballyburn		0.222222 2/9(+61%)																															(2) Ballyburn 2/9, Highly promising individual. 10/11, second of 24 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 27 days ago, clear of rest. Potentially a smart novice and will prove hard to beat with this step up in trip expected to be in his favour. Point and dual bumper winner; clear of the rest when second to Firefox on hurdle debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 -33%) Cleatus Poolaw		6 6/1(-33%)																															(3) Cleatus Poolaw 6/1, Promising sort. Second of 15 in novice hurdle (3/1) at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 29 days ago. Up in trip and likely to improve. Engaged 12.55 Limerick Thursday. Looks up to winning a maiden at this trip but Ballyburn sets a high standard.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +11%) Apple's Of Bresil		4 4/1(+11%)																															(1) Apple's Of Bresil 4/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 7 in bumper (2/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 41 days ago. Well adrift of Ballyburn on debut at Punchestown in April. Improvement needed now switched to hurdles but certainly not without an each-way chance. The form of his bumper third at Navan is working out; not one to be underestimated.
4	8 4th (8) (33/1 -65%) Saddle Her Up		33 33/1(-65%)																															(8) Saddle Her Up 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. Second of 10 in novice hurdle at Galway (16f, heavy, 50/1) 61 days ago. Up in trip and live each-way chance if able to build on that. From the front she ran a nice race at Galway but this is a much stronger maiden.
5th	4 5th (4) (125/1 -25%) Cloughroe		125 125/1(-25%)																															(4) Cloughroe 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. First run since leaving Denis Quinn when twelfth of 14 in novice hurdle at Naas (18.9f, soft, 100/1) on hurdles bow 47 days ago. Has shown ability but likely to be outclassed in this good a maiden.
6th	7 6th (7) (150/1 -50%) Laurie Blue		150 150/1(-50%)																															(7) Laurie Blue 150/1, £40,000 4-y-o, Court Cave mare. Closely related to poor hurdler The Lion Man. Dam maiden hurdler. Runner-up sole start in points back in April 2022. Probably best watched on Rules debut. Bought for £40,000 soon after finishing second in a point back in April 2022.
9	9 |B| (9) (100/1 +0%) Tell Me This		100 100/1(+0%)																															(9) Tell Me This 100/1, Ask mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Oneupmanship, stays 3m, and fair chaser Home Place. Dam unraced. Failed to complete all 3 starts between the flags. Fell in all three points and could have been found an easier starting point over hurdles.
5	5 |F| (5) (16/1 +20%) Coming Up Easy		16 16/1(+20%)																															(5) Coming Up Easy 16/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 20/1, seventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) on hurdles bow 41 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Should progress and yard has saddled the winner of this maiden 5 times since 2012. Shown promise but needs to raise his game to keep up with the pick of these.

LTO Selection:

BALLYBURN looks hard to oppose on his second start over timber. The Flemensfirth gelding looked very smart when winning two bumpers last season. He had to settle for second on his jumping debut at Fairyhouse earlier in the month but chased home a well regarded sort in Firefox then and with natural improvement should collect now. Apple's Of Bresil is a nice sort and could be the one to give the selection most to do. He was behind Ballyburn in a bumper at Punchestown in April and stepped forward nicely when third in a tight finish to Springt De La Mare at Navan on his return. Saddle Her Up ran a big race, at a big price, when second at Galway in late October and can pick up prize-money again.

It's hard to look beyond BALLYBURN, who achieved a smart level of form in bumpers last season and pulled clear of the rest when chasing home a highly promising novice in Firefox on his hurdles debut at Fairyhouse. With Cleatus Poolaw due to run at Limerick on Thursday, Coming Up Easy, who represents a yard that has made a habit of winning this race in recent years, and Saddle Her Up are taken to fill the places.

With no Firefox to worry about this looks a golden opportunity for BALLYBURN to go one better than at Fairyhouse.

1	3 1st (3) (9/2 +0%) Imaginary Dragon		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(3) Imaginary Dragon 9/2, Lightly-raced 5-y-o who made a solid start to his handicap career for new trainer Sandy Thomson when second of 12 over 2m at Newcastle 36 days ago. Up significantly in trip. Unexposed. Pleasing stable debut after an absence; thereabouts if seeing out this longer trip.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/3 -11%) Hashtag Boum		3.333333 10/3(-11%)																															(2) Hashtag Boum 10/3, Irish point winner who opened her Rules account in decisive fashion in C&D handicap in April. Badly hampered when sixth at Market Rasen in May and resumed her progression when going down only narrowly at Sedgefield 6 months later. Respected back here. Returned to form when beating all bar a backed handicap debutant over 2m4f at Sedgefield.
3	6 3rd (6) (15/2 -67%) Kingston Bridge		7.5 15/2(-67%)																															(6) Kingston Bridge 15/2, Bumper winner who showed a likeable attitude to get off the mark in a Carlisle maiden (19f, soft) in March. Placed in 2 of his 3 handicaps since, impressing with the way he travelled when third over 2½m at Hexham (heavy) last month. Considered now stepping up in trip. Perhaps found out by the heavy ground when third at Hexham.
4	5 4th (5) (7/1 -17%) Dunnet Head		7 7/1(-17%)																															(5) Dunnet Head 7/1, Made a winning debut in a bumper at this track in October 2022 and came back from a breathing operation and a 9-month absence to justify favouritism on his handicap debut at Carlisle (17f, soft) in November. Something can't have been right at Ayr next time and worth another chance. Carlisle winner who just didn't appear to give his running next time at Ayr.
5th	8 5th (8) (3/1 +54%) So Many Roads		3 3/1(+54%)																															(8) So Many Roads 3/1, Much improved when justifying support on handicap debut in 17-runner contest at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) in January. This season's 2 efforts no more than respectable but might just be working his way back to peak fitness. Lacks a change of gear and conditions were heavy for sole success, over 2m4f at Ayr.
6th	4 6th (4) (33/1 -313%) Paddy The Horse		33 33/1(-313%)																															(4) Paddy The Horse 33/1, Point winner who scored twice over hurdles at Hexham last autumn. Also placed over fences at Carlisle in the spring. Should be sharper for chase reappearance here 7 weeks ago and on a workable mark back hurdling. Quiet over fences on his return but he's a dual hurdle winner; has stamina to prove.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 -20%) Mack The Man		12 12/1(-20%)																															(7) Mack The Man 12/1, Four-time winner over hurdles for Evan Williams. Off 9 months, looked rusty when 12 lengths sixth of 11 on 20.5f Ayr stable debut 18 days ago. Likely to be sharper now. It was a fairly promising debut for this yard when midfield at Ayr.
8th	1 8th (1) (7/1 +13%) Schalke		7 7/1(+13%)																															(1) Schalke 7/1, Won this race 12 months ago. Wasn't far off his best when midfield in a valuable 3m handicap at Haydock in November and perhaps just didn't take to cheekpieces (discarded in favour of visor) when last at Carlisle since. Remains 6 lb above last year's mark but William Maggs takes 7 lb off. Last year's winner and there's hope for a revival in a new visor.

LTO Selection:

---

SCHALKE has faced much stiffer tests that the one he is tasked with here and, while he needs to significantly better his most recent start, the fitting of a first-time visor might well initiate a revival. It's worth remembering the selection was a convincing winner of this race last year and, although 6lb higher, this is a much weaker renewal, with William Maggs' 7lb a further boost at the weights. Hashtag Boum is also a previous C&D winner and enters calculations, while Kingston Bridge is still of low mileage and is another to bear in mind.

This looks competitive. DUNNET HEAD can't have been right last time and might be worth another chance as his Carlisle win prior to that was promising. Hashtag Boum shaped encouragingly at Sedgefield last time and is much respected back at the scene of her win in April. Imaginary Dragon should also get involved if his stamina holds now stepping up in trip, while Kingston Bridge also shaped well at Hexham last time.

Perhaps IMAGINARY DRAGON will provide the answer if seeing out this longer trip on just his second run for Sandy Thomson.

1	6 1st (6) (16/1 -78%) Bushmans Pass		16 16/1(-78%)																															(6) Bushmans Pass 16/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 250/1, ninth of 11 in novice chase at Punchestown (18.9f, soft) 34 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Switch to handicaps likely to bring about better but hard push to suggest it will suffice.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/4 +50%) Rolly Bowley Boy		2.75 11/4(+50%)																															(1) Rolly Bowley Boy 11/4, 11/2 and visored for 1st time, good third of 13 in handicap chase at this course (17.7f, heavy) 3 days ago. Back up in trip. Not taken lightly. Running consistently well and has winning form on heavy conditions, lots to like.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 -100%) Baldur's Gate		5 5/1(-100%)																															(2) Baldur's Gate 5/1, 1 win from 2 runs this season. 11/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Punchestown (24.7f, soft) 43 days ago, kept up to work. Can make presence felt. Impressive at Punchestown and likely to make a bold bid to overcome his 8lb hike.
4	11 4th (11) (28/1 +44%) Starlight Cato		28 28/1(+44%)																															(11) Starlight Cato 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in novice chase (200/1) at Thurles (22f, soft) 36 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Not a whole lot to show for his efforts so far and makes very little appeal.
5th	9 5th (9) (15/2 +25%) Da Big Fella		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(9) Da Big Fella 15/2, One win from 23 NH runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 9/2, pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (24.7f, soft) 43 days ago. Valid excuse for Punchestown lapse (lost a shoe), fine second prior to that.
6th	10 6th (10) (8/1 +50%) Seangoell		8 8/1(+50%)																															(10) Seangoell 8/1, One win from 28 NH runs. Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. 25/1, eighteenth of 22 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.9f, heavy) 17 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Needs to step up another couple of gears to worry the best of these.
3	3 |U| (3) (5/1 +75%) Dr Val		5 5/1(+75%)																															(3) Dr Val 5/1, Respectable sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Punchestown (24.4f, soft) 33 days ago. Makes chase debut and not discounted. Lack of experience at this game a worry, probably a tall order to be expected to collect.
7	7 |PU| (7) (7/1 -27%) Lady Kate		7 7/1(-27%)																															(7) Lady Kate 7/1, 22/1, good second of 14 in handicap chase at Thurles (25f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Shortlisted. Fired a real warning sign when hitting the crossbar on recent handicap debut, feared.
8	8 |PU| (8) (10/1 +60%) Soldier Of Honour		10 10/1(+60%)																															(8) Soldier Of Honour 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in novice chase (200/1) at Thurles (22f, soft) 36 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for 1st time. Makes handicap chase debut. Handicap debutant now tried in cheekpieces but appears to have his work cut out.
13	13 |PU| (13) (18/1 +10%) Will It Be You		18 18/1(+10%)																															(13) Will It Be You 18/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Tramore (21f, soft) 31 days ago, behind when pulled up before last. Makes chase debut. More miss than hit over hurdles and will do well to be involved here on chasing debut.
12	12 |PU| (12) (33/1 +0%) Mrs Watson		33 33/1(+0%)																															(12) Mrs Watson 33/1, 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (24f, heavy) 68 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Comes here with plenty of questions to answer and is readily opposed.

LTO Selection:

---

EVIES VLADIMIR fairly rattled home for second over 2m4f at Down Royal on Tuesday having had a lot to do early in the straight. It has to be significant that Gavin Cromwell turns him out again so soon and this longer trip should suit the six-year-old who returned from a long absence to win on handicap debut at Clonmel last month. Rolly Bowley Boy was also in action on Tuesday when placed over a shorter distance at this venue. He's another that will be suited by a greater emphasis on stamina but giving over a stone to the selection may be beyond him. Baldur's Gate comes back in trip after a decisive win over 3m at Punchestown and has to enter calculations, while Da Big Fella pulled a shoe when disappointing behind Baldur's Gate but his Galway second the time before was franked when the winner followed up at Cheltenham.

EVIES VLADIMIR is progressing well over fences and weighted to resume winning ways on the back of his good Down Royal second. Punchestown scorer Baldur's Gate is feared most ahead of in-form duo Rolly Bowley Boy and Lady Kate.

Rolly Bowley Boy and Baldur's Gate look destined to play a big part but DA BIG FELLA has a handy weight and is preferred

1	5 1st (5) (13/2 -44%) Chanceux		6.5 13/2(-44%)																															(5) Chanceux 13/2, Dual novice hurdle winner who got off the mark in this sphere in 4-runner handicap chase at Hereford (16f, good to soft) 13 days ago. This demands more though off a 4 lb higher mark. Off the mark at seventh attempt over fences at Hereford, albeit race fell apart somewhat.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +45%) Parisencore		3 3/1(+45%)																															(2) Parisencore 3/1, Took a step forward sent chasing after 6 months off when second of 8 in handicap chase at Ayr (16.5f, good) 55 days ago. Can build on that so commands plenty of respect. Promising second at Ayr on chase debut & open to improvement over fences; one to consider.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +11%) Ukantango		4 4/1(+11%)																															(3) Ukantango 4/1, Dual novice hurdle winner who improved further when second in Cheltenham Grade 2 last season. Posted a good second of 5 in handicap chase at Wetherby (15.2f, heavy) 30 days ago on just his second start in this sphere so can make his presence felt. Runner-up at Wetherby on second chase start and can be optimism he'll continue to progress.
4	1 4th (1) (9/4 -63%) Onemorefortheroad		2.25 9/4(-63%)																															(1) Onemorefortheroad 9/4, Made a winning chase debut in 9-runner handicap over C&D (good to soft) 13 days ago, always holding on. Up 7 lb but this fairly useful hurdler is open to progress and merits serious consideration. Looked as good as ever when winning easily over C&D on chase debut; still mileage in mark.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/2 +13%) Richhill		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(4) Richhill 7/2, Irish point/hurdles winner who has started encouragingly over fences, third of 6 in handicap chase at Newbury (16.4f, good to soft) 28 days ago. He's a player with that form working out really well. Third at Newbury on second chase start and that race is working out well; chance.

LTO Selection:

---

ONEMOREFORTHEROAD made a favourable impression on his chase debut over C&D last time and a 7lb rise looks manageable for an eight-year-old that has run off much higher marks over hurdles in the past. Chanceux did it well at Hereford latest and he must be a key player, along with Ukantango, who improved significantly from first to second start over fences when runner-up at Wetherby last month.

ONEMOREFORTHEROAD got off to a flying start over fences when a C&D scorer earlier in the month and can make light of a 7 lb rise in the weights with more to come now. Richhill also has better days ahead of him in this sphere so should ensure Neil King's 8-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Ukantango and Parisiencore need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

Things clicked again in a big way for ONEMOREFORTHEROAD (nap) on his chase debut over C&D and he can follow up that comfortable win.

1	6 1st (6) (5/2 +38%) Jetara		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(6) Jetara 5/2, Useful hurdler. 2 wins from 3 runs this season. 2/1, career best when winning 6-runner listed hurdle at Punchestown (19.2f, heavy) 17 days ago by 6 lengths from A Penny A Hundred, going clear. Each-way chance. Has taken a while to make an impact over hurdles, feasible she can sustain upward curve.
2	7 2nd (7) (28/1 +0%) Pink In The Park		28 28/1(+0%)																															(7) Pink In The Park 28/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable 8½ lengths fifth of 9 to Birdie Or Bust in listed hurdle (11/1) at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Back up in trip. Appears to be the outsider of the four trained by Willie Mullins. Won twice in early stages of the season but now looking quite limited, others preferred.
3	2 3rd (2) (13/8 +77%) Risk Belle		1.625 13/8(+77%)																															(2) Risk Belle 13/8, Useful hurdler. 7/4, career best when winning 6-runner Mullinan Hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 27 days ago by 3½ lengths from Nusret, easily. Moving back up in trip shouldn't be an issue and she looks the pick of the Willie Mullins-trained quartet. Good handicap form as a juvenile, emphatic Grade 3 scorer on return, needs to jump better.
4	10 4th (10) (7/1 +50%) Telmesomethinggirl		7 7/1(+50%)																															(10) Telmesomethinggirl 7/1, Useful chaser. Below form 23¼ lengths third of 7 to Saint Sam in a Grade 3 chase (10/3) at Killarney (20f, good) when last seen 7 months ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Big chance if she fires on all cylinders. Cheltenham Festival winner in 2021, reverts to hurdling after five runs over fences.
5th	8 5th (8) (7/1 +7%) Saylavee		7 7/1(+7%)																															(8) Saylavee 7/1, Useful hurdler. 10/1, good 1¾ lengths second of 6 to Hispanic Moon in listed mares event at Punchestown (18.2f, soft) 33 days ago. May well turn the tables with that rival here on these revised terms. Made an encouraging start to the season with Punchestown second behind Hispanic Moon.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 +8%) Hispanic Moon		6 6/1(+8%)																															(5) Hispanic Moon 6/1, Useful chaser. First run since leaving David Cottin when winning 6-runner listed mares event (20/1) at Punchestown (18.2f, soft) by 1¾ lengths from Saylavee, driven out. Meets that rival on 4 lb worse terms here, though. One of 3 representing the Henry De Bromhead stable. French import, surprise winner on Irish debut, can uphold form with runner-up Saylavee.
7th	4 7th (4) (66/1 -100%) Double Pink		66 66/1(-100%)																															(4) Double Pink 66/1, Fair hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Career best when winning 5-runner minor event hurdle at Wexford (20f, heavy, 12/1) 42 days ago. Much more on her plate in this more exalted company. Took advantage when market principals flopped in 2m4f Wexford contest, up against it here.
8th	3 8th (3) (18/1 -112%) Space Tourist		18 18/1(-112%)																															(3) Space Tourist 18/1, Useful hurdler. 3 wins from 5 runs this season. 6/4, career best when winning 6-runner listed mares event at Limerick (22.7f, heavy) 69 days ago by 4¾ lengths from Riviere D'etel. This is more demanding. Atoned for odds-on Listowel defeat when scoring at Limerick, Paul Townend deserts her.

LTO Selection:

---

RISK BELLE impressed on her return this season and looks to have improved from last season. She beat some decent geldings in good style at Fairyhouse earlier in the month and Willie Mullins stated then that the experience she gained in handicap company last season has really stood to her. Jetara comes here seeking a hat-trick after a couple of impressive wins and looks an obvious danger. The well-bred Walk In The Park mare was a comprehensive winner in Listed company last time and like the selection is fairly experienced at this stage. Hispanic Moon had plenty of runs in France before winning on her first start for Henry de Bromhead in a Listed contest at Punchestown last month. She's another that has to be on the shortlist.

Willie Mullins has saddled six of the last seven winners of this and RISK BELLE is taken to enhance that already impressive record. She looked an improved model when making a winning reappearance in a Grade 3 contest at Fairyhouse and probably has more to offer given her age and low mileage. The 4-y-o certainly won't have things all her own way, though, particularly if Telmesomethinggirl is anywhere near her best back hurdling. The latter's stablemate Magical Zoe also merits respect.

This looks open and it may be worth taking a chance on \MAGICAL ZOE\p, whose Down Royal second behind Irish Point is quite persuasive.

1	4 1st (4) (1/2 +64%) Traprain Law		0.5 1/2(+64%)																															(4) Traprain Law 1/2, Has done little wrong since crossing the Channel, winning 3 times over hurdles for this yard. Resumed after 7 months off with an encouraging third at Ayr on his chasing debut too so he's a player. Liked it here over hurdles and plenty of positives to take from his third on chase debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/2 -65%) Duty Calls		5.5 11/2(-65%)																															(5) Duty Calls 11/2, C&D winner who comes here on the back of a good second of 6 in handicap chase here 48 days ago. In the picture despite being 2 lb out of the weights. Enhanced a good record here when just missing out (back from layoff) last month.
3	2 3rd (2) (17/2 -55%) Ganapathi		8.5 17/2(-55%)																															(2) Ganapathi 17/2, Hurdles/chase winner for Willie Mullins. Down the field on final 3 starts for Patrick Neville but has been cut plenty of slack by handicapper and offered more than of late for new yard when third at Catterick (19.2f, good to soft) last month. Considered. Not the horse he was but his best run for a while when third at Catterick.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 -118%) Gold Des Bois		6 6/1(-118%)																															(3) Gold Des Bois 6/1, C&D winner but only ninth of 11 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (15.9f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Struggled in a strong Cheltenham handicap last time; this is more his scene.
5th	1 5th (1) (28/1 -56%) Cilaos Emery		28 28/1(-56%)																															(1) Cilaos Emery 28/1, Smart chaser at best for Willie Mullins but not nearly so good for his current yard, falling sixth in minor chase at Cagnes-Sur-Mer (18.9f, soft) 23 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. A long way below his best this year and he took a mid-race fall in France last time.

LTO Selection:

---

Despite running from 2lb out of the handicap, DUTY CALLS actually holds a live chance on form and, having run a 121-rated to a neck when second over this course and distance last month, he is dangerous to underestimate, especially when Lewis Stones' 3lb claim is factored into the equation. A dual winner on the hurdles circuit here, Traprain Law is unexposed over fences and is one to monitor closely in the betting, while Ganapathi is another to consider now he is tried with a first-time visor.

TRAPRAIN LAW thrived for Lucinda Russell last term and is fancied to build on a promising chasing debut and bag victory number four for the yard off a handy-looking mark. C&D winner Duty Calls is feared most despite being 2 lb "wrong" in the weights, with Ganapathi appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Lucinda Russell's TRAPRAIN LAW (nap) liked it here over hurdles and it was a perfectly respectable start he made over fences at Ayr.

1	7 1st (7) (9/2 +78%) Your Honor		4.5 9/2(+78%)																															(7) Your Honor 9/2, C&D winner. 50/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 12 days ago. In the mix. Didn't get home over 2m4f when sixth in decent contest at Navan, handicappper is relenting.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +0%) Luminous Light		5 5/1(+0%)																															(4) Luminous Light 5/1, 28/1, good third of 11 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft) 27 days ago. Holds very good claims back in handicap company. Maiden winner has run well from this mark over longer trips last twice; looks vulnerable.
3	9 3rd (9) (12/1 +0%) Mercury Mission		12 12/1(+0%)																															(9) Mercury Mission 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 22/1) 102 days ago. Hung and jumped right when beaten 20l on handicap debut in the Lartigue; ground concerns.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 +80%) Sir Allen		5 5/1(+80%)																															(1) Sir Allen 5/1, Fifteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, 40/1) 26 days ago. Dual winner last term; down the field in the Fred Winter and been disappointing since.
5th	6 5th (6) (13/2 -117%) Paradise Lost		6.5 13/2(-117%)																															(6) Paradise Lost 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 16 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft, 14/1) 29 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Needs considering. Runner-up in three maidens including behind Ludus over C&D and at Thurles last month.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 +0%) Morning Soldier		16 16/1(+0%)																															(3) Morning Soldier 16/1, 25/1, respectable tenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 26 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. Maiden was runner-up to Sir Allen at Naas in February; hasn't built on that.
7th	5 7th (5) (17/2 -183%) Whimsy		8.5 17/2(-183%)																															(5) Whimsy 17/2, Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Good second of 6 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (16.8f, heavy, 14/1) 17 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve. Placed behind Mullins-trained winners all starts; just behind Paradise Lost at Thurles.
8th	2 8th (2) (5/1 -43%) Media Naranja		5 5/1(-43%)																															(2) Media Naranja 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in May. 11/1, creditable fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 26 days ago. Shortlisted. C&D winner was fifth of 19 in strong all-aged handicap at Fairyhouse last time; can lead..
9th	10 9th (10) (12/1 -20%) Ossie's Lodge		12 12/1(-20%)																															(10) Ossie's Lodge 12/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Respectable eighth of 26 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 20 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should progress. Bumper winner has run nice races at big odds in maidens and looks to be on a feasible mark.
8	8 |F| (8) (40/1 -100%) Action Motion		40 40/1(-100%)																															(8) Action Motion 40/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, first run since leaving Miss Shauna Larkin when fifth of 6 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (16.8f, heavy, 50/1) 17 days ago. Maiden winner down the field in the Fred Winter and well held since; held by Whimsy.

LTO Selection:

---

YOUR HONOR should be okay on the heavy ground and won his maiden here in the spring. He didn't get home over 2m4f when sixth at Navan last time and coming back in trip should help. The selection was third to Media Naranja at Ballinrobe in May but is considerably better off at the weights with that rival on this occasion. Media Naranja was a creditable fifth in a strong all-aged handicap at Fairyhouse last time and still merits plenty of respect for top connections. Paradise Lost and Whimsy are closely matched on the basis of a clash at Thurles last month and both enter handicap company for the first time. Ossie's Lodge is a bumper winner who looks to have been allotted a fair opening mark and how he goes in the market will be interesting.

A few with chances but LUMINOUS LIGHT is weighted to go close on the back of his good Fairyhouse novice third so gets the vote. Morning Soldier is another who can have a say on these terms, while both Whimsy and Ossie's Lodge can make their mark with improvement on the cards.

He'll handle the ground and coming back from 2m4f will suit, so a chance is taken with course winner YOUR HONOR; note Ossie's Lodge

1	5 1st (5) (13/8 +7%) Limerick Lace		1.625 13/8(+7%)																															(5) Limerick Lace 13/8, Smart chaser. Latest win in chase at Clonmel in October. Good second of 20 in handicap chase (4/1) at Navan (24f, heavy) 40 days ago. Arrives on the up and may yet do better still, so she's an intriguing contender. Fine second in the Troytown Handicap at Navan last time and she's a major player.
2	7 2nd (7) (50/1 -25%) La Renommee		50 50/1(-25%)																															(7) La Renommee 50/1, Progressive chaser who made a winning return in a handicap at Ludlow in October and backed it up with solid showing at Kempton. Bit to prove having been pulled up in race won by Zambella at Aintree last time, however. Three mares' handicap chase wins at Ludlow this year but others have stronger form.
3	6 3rd (6) (28/1 +15%) Carole's Pass		28 28/1(+15%)																															(6) Carole's Pass 28/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler who made a promising start in this discipline when third in a listed contest at Exeter last month. Something to find but should be well suited by the step up in trip. Creditable Listed third on chase debut but improvement needed in this much hotter race.
4	2 4th (2) (8/1 -45%) Pink Legend		8 8/1(-45%)																															(2) Pink Legend 8/1, Three-time winner during a consistent 2022/23 campaign and, following a lacklustre return, she got right back on track when scoring at Newbury 9 days ago. This could come too soon but she's capable of troubling Zambella on her day. Third in this 12 months ago; stronger form, and four wins, since; might not be far away.
5th	8 5th (8) (25/1 -56%) Royale Margaux		25 25/1(-56%)																															(8) Royale Margaux 25/1, Five-time hurdles/dual chase winner in France for David Cottin and fairly useful form over fences in this country, running well at Cheltenham last time. Needs a lot more to trouble a couple of these rivals, though. Went close in Cheltenham handicap a fortnight ago but needs to go to a new level today.
3	3 |PU| (3) (2/1 +20%) Zambella		2 2/1(+20%)																															(3) Zambella 2/1, Highly likeable mare with an excellent record at this level (has won this for the last 2 seasons). Looked better than ever when scoring by a wide margin at Aintree on return and the form has worked out well. Leading claims. Has won the last 2 runnings; it's hotter this year but should still be tough nut to crack.
1	1 |PU| (1) (7/2 +13%) Fantastic Lady		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(1) Fantastic Lady 7/2, Very useful mare who was far from discredited when fifth in the Grand Sefton Chase at Aintree 48 days ago. Not discounted. Some highly creditable runs against males this year; leading claims now back against mares.
4	4 |PU| (4) (33/1 -32%) Walk In Clover		33 33/1(-32%)																															(4) Walk In Clover 33/1, Showed improved form during the spring, recording back-to-back handicap wins at Cheltenham (20.6f) and Southwell (24.3f) in April. Has remained in form since but this looks a stiff task. Has run well in handicaps at Cheltenham the last twice but she has plenty to find here.

LTO Selection:

---

ZAMBELLA won this race in 2021 and 2022, sent off favourite on both occasions, and with her course knowledge and a comfortable win at Aintree on her first start of this season, she may complete the hat-trick. Irish raider Limerick Lace is rated 5lb her superior at these weights and is an obvious danger after her Clonmel success and Graded second at Navan. Newbury winner Pink Legend and Fantastic Lady are others to take seriously.

ZAMBELLA was hugely impressive at Aintree on reappearance and the form has a strong look to it, so she can win this race for the third year running. She's marginally preferred to Irish raider Limerick Lace, who is going the right way. Fantastic Lady is another one to consider.

Preference is for the progressive Irish-trained 6yo LIMERICK LACE who was a fine second in the Troytown last month.

1	5 1st (5) (4/1 +0%) Grangeclare West		4 4/1(+0%)																															(5) Grangeclare West 4/1, Hasn't achieved as much as some of these over hurdles but has long appealed as the type to do even better in this sphere, a notion backed up by his impressive chase debut display at Naas (20f, soft). Likely to benefit from this stiffer test and he's a serious candidate. Career now back on track after disappointing novice hurdling campaign, jumped well at Naas.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/8 +7%) Corbetts Cross		1.625 13/8(+7%)																															(1) Corbetts Cross 13/8, Quickly made up into a useful novice hurdler last season and promising third to Grangeclare West on return/chase debut at Naas last month. Confirmed that promise when scoring with a bit in hand at Fairyhouse (21.5f, soft) and further progress likely back up in trip here. Could manage only third behind Grangeclare West at Naas, ample reassurance at Fairyhouse.
3	4 3rd (4) (3/1 -9%) Flooring Porter		3 3/1(-9%)																															(4) Flooring Porter 3/1, Top-notch staying hurdler who took well to fences when seeing off Broadway Boy (successful twice since) on chase debut at Cheltenham in October. Beaten 15¼ lengths when third in the Florida Pearl at Punchestown next time but will be much more at home back on a left-handed track. Top staying hurdler, good on chase debut, hung left when blotting copybook at Punchestown.
4	3 4th (3) (18/1 -13%) Flanking Maneuver		18 18/1(-13%)																															(3) Flanking Maneuver 18/1, Placed in graded events on first 2 starts over fences prior to landing a maiden chase in good style at Fairyhouse in October. Likely to win more races in this sphere but he's up against some potentially very smart staying novices here. Obtained experience in Graded races last term, got new campaign off to a bright start.
5th	2 5th (2) (3/1 +14%) Favori De Champdou		3 3/1(+14%)																															(2) Favori De Champdou 3/1, Winner of 3 of his 6 starts over hurdles and good start over fences when second to Affordale Fury at Galway in October. Big step forward when winning the Florida Pearl at Punchestown (24f, soft) next time with Flooring Porter back in third. Remains open to improvement in this sphere. Impressed in winning Grade 2 event at Punchestown, no stamina doubts, ground suitable.
6th	6 6th (6) (300/1 -50%) Tullyhogue Fort		300 300/1(-50%)																															(6) Tullyhogue Fort 300/1, By far the most exposed of these over fences and he's punching well above his weight at this level. 95-rated handicapper, 1-10 over fences, completely out of his depth.

LTO Selection:

---

A real test of stamina should bring out the best in CORBETTS CROSS and he can strike at the top level here. The Gamut gelding had the class to win over the minimum trip as a novice hurdler but has always shaped like a real stayer. He improved from his initial outing over fences to run out a cosy winner at Fairyhouse earlier in the month and going up again in distance will help. Grangeclare West beat the selection at Naas on their seasonal debuts and is a classy sort when right. The ground here would be a slight concern though over this trip. Flooring Porter threw away his chance when jumping badly left at Punchestown last month. He's much more at home going this way around and is fancied to turn the tables on Favori De Champdou. The former top staying hurdler obviously commands plenty of respect.

FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU produced a flawless round of jumping when landing the Florida Pearl in fine style at Punchestown last month, and he is taken to provide trainer Gordon Elliott with a sixth win in this Grade 1 contest. Corbetts Cross and Grangeclare West are both potentially smart novices, too, while former top staying hurdler Flooring Porter is also feared now back on a left-handed track after hanging badly left when third to the selection at Punchestown.

This test of stamina should suit CORBETTS CROSS (nap) who has garnered confidence and experience since his chasing debut at Naas.

1	2 1st (2) (13/8 -8%) Young Buster		1.625 13/8(-8%)																															(2) Young Buster 13/8, Fair 2m4f winner over hurdles who is improving in this sphere and made a comfortable winning return at this course a month ago. Drop back in trip won't inconvenience him and he's worth a chance to land the hat-trick. 2-2 over fences after last month's clearcut course win; could easily have more to offer.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/4 +10%) Gentleman De Mai		2.25 9/4(+10%)																															(4) Gentleman De Mai 9/4, Expensive to follow last season but responded well to a tongue strap when making a winning return here over a bit further. Should go well again. Came good over fences here on seasonal debut (front pair clear); 5lb rise looks manageable.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +10%) Imperial Merlin		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(1) Imperial Merlin 9/2, Bumper winner who gained his third success over hurdles at Ayr in April. Likely to strip fitter for return at Aintree and reason to think he'll take to chasing. 3-6 over hurdles; half-brother to a high-class chaser; interesting on debut over fences.
4	5 4th (5) (11/2 -22%) Domandlouis		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(5) Domandlouis 11/2, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 6 in handicap chase at this course (23.4f, heavy, 9/4) 62 days ago. Seems to have hit his limit over fences and he's vulnerable from out of the weights. 2lb out of the weights today but ran well behind an unexposed one here two months ago.
3	3 |PU| (3) (12/1 -20%) Overcourt		12 12/1(-20%)																															(3) Overcourt 12/1, Dual hurdles winner for Sandy Thomson who finished out of the frame for the first time over fences when last of 5 to Young Buster here a month ago. Likely to bounce back quickly. Below form here a month ago but was second on first two starts for new stable this season.

LTO Selection:

---

It is difficult to look past YOUNG BUSTER, who has made a perfect start to his chase career and stepping up in trip seemed to bring about further improvement when scoring here last month. The seven-year-old can land the hat-trick now at the main expense of Gentleman De Mai, who has been consistent since beginning his career over fences and deservedly got off the mark here on his latest outing. Chase debutant Imperial Merlin is another to note having won three of his six starts over the smaller obstacles.

YOUNG BUSTER had loads to spare when scoring here on return and a rise might not be enough to stop him. Imperial Merlin looks an interesting chasing debutant and is feared most ahead of Gentleman de Mai, who also struck here last month.

Top of the list is GENTLEMAN DE MAI, who was one of two to pull well clear of the others when winning here on his seasonal debut.

1	7 1st (7) (14/1 +30%) Starman		14 14/1(+30%)																															(7) Starman 14/1, Fair hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Clonmel in September. 40/1, seventeenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft) 27 days ago. Looks competitive on form if shrugging off latest effort. Won 2m4f claimer on testing ground at Clonmel; nearly struck off this mark in novice h'cap.
2	1 2nd (1) (Evens +56%) Splashing Out		0 Evens(+56%)																															(1) Splashing Out Evens, Fairly useful hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy, 18/5) 38 days ago, easily. Expected to be bang there. Second in this last year; off the mark on the inner track here last month; proven on heavy.
3	6 3rd (6) (6/1 +50%) Clodders Dream		6 6/1(+50%)																															(6) Clodders Dream 6/1, Fair hurdler. 17/2, eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Naas (18.9f, soft) 47 days ago. Best maiden run was fourth to subsequent Grade 2 winner Nick Rockett; well held on return.
4	2 4th (2) (25/1 -355%) The Shantou King		25 25/1(-355%)																															(2) The Shantou King 25/1, Fair hurdler. 50/1, pulled up in listed hurdle at Cork (24f, soft) 54 days ago won by Solitary Man. Significantly back down in trip. Others have achieved more. Made all to win a 2m Listowel maiden (yielding/soft); pulled up in a three-miler latest.
5th	3 5th (3) (15/8 +16%) She's A Fine Wine		1.875 15/8(+16%)																															(3) She's A Fine Wine 15/8, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. C&D winner. Creditable 10¼ lengths third of 6 to What's Up Darling in For Auction Novices' Hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 10/3) 41 days ago. Likely to improve. C&D maiden winner; 10l third against geldings in slowly-run Navan Grade 3 wasn't a bad run.
5	5 |F| (5) (14/1 +13%) Ages Of Man		14 14/1(+13%)																															(5) Ages Of Man 14/1, Fair hurdler. 28/1 and blinkered for 1st time, unseated rider start in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) on IRE flat debut 21 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Others more persuasive. Maiden's best run was when second of 19 (led) in Fairyhouse handicap back in the spring.

LTO Selection:

---

ASK THE BOOKIE competes from an effective mark of 108 in this rated contest and may have a bit of leeway from that initial perch. Runner-up in a 2m4f maiden at Cork last year, the six-year-old has run two creditable races on winter ground this term including when third on the inner track here last month. Eoin Griffin was amongst the winners at Leopardstown on Wednesday and Splashing Out goes well on heavy ground at Limerick, She was second in this race last year and won a mares handicap in good style on the inner track when last seen. She's A Fine Wine has a possible class edge after finishing third in a Grade 3 at Navan and her maiden win came over C&D in October. She just needs to settle better than she did at Navan to enable her to get home on heavy ground here.

SPLASHING OUT took a C&D handicap in great style last time out and looks the way to go back in maiden company. C&D winner She's A Fine Wine appeals as a big threat though, with Rockview Consort and Starman also in the picture.

An effective mark of 108 may afford a bit of leeway to ASK THE BOOKIE who has run been running well and will handle the ground

1	3 1st (3) (5/6 +49%) Bhaloo		0.833333 5/6(+49%)																															(3) Bhaloo 5/6, Market Rasen bumper winner for Fergal O'Brien last spring. Made a sound start to his hurdling career when third of 13 at Kempton last month and he's the one to beat here with improvement on the cards. Bumper winner who was promising third on hurdle debut at Kempton; leading form claims.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/1 +30%) Montecam		7 7/1(+30%)																															(9) Montecam 7/1, Half-brother to 4 winners, notably dual Champion Chase winner Altior, and he shaped well when fourth of 16 in bumper (6/1) at Huntingdon 7 months ago. Has more to offer now going hurdling up in trip. Fair form in bumpers; half-brother to superstar Altior; could take sizeable step forward.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/4 -10%) Parade Away		2.75 11/4(-10%)																															(1) Parade Away 11/4, Useful bumper winner who landed a match at Hereford on hurdling debut for Milton Harris. Posted a fairly useful effort on his yard bow when second of 14 in novice hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good to soft) 13 days ago so needs considering. Carries penalty against interesting rivals but good 2nd last time; could go well once more.
4	6 4th (6) (13/2 -8%) Dancing In Brazil		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(6) Dancing In Brazil 13/2, Fairly useful winner at 14f in bumpers who shaped with promise when second of 10 in novice hurdle at Kempton (16f, soft) 32 days ago. Open to improvement now stepping up in trip. Shortlisted. Bumper winner who was second in 2m hurdle last time; could improve for this longer trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 -82%) Banteer		10 10/1(-82%)																															(2) Banteer 10/1, Fairly useful form when runner-up on the first of 2 starts in bumpers and shaped much better than on his hurdling debut when third of 15 in a Wincanton novice (15.2f, heavy) 17 days ago. Open to further improvement. Bumper winner who was fair third on recent hurdle debut; the step up in trip could help.
6th	8 6th (8) (100/1 -203%) Luke The Drifter		100 100/1(-203%)																															(8) Luke The Drifter 100/1, Related to a couple of winners but no immediate promise in a bumper at Uttoxeter and novice hurdle at Warwick 20 months ago. Down the field on both starts and may be one for further down the line.
7th	10 7th (10) (150/1 -355%) Nothinelsematters		150 150/1(-355%)																															(10) Nothinelsematters 150/1, €8,000 3-y-o, €8,000 4-y-o, Sageburg gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Champagnesuperover and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Meldrum Lad. Fourth in a point in May so this newcomer merits respect on hurdling bow. Engaged 1.05 Catterick Thursday. Didn't show enough in points to be of interest today.
8th	7 8th (7) (125/1 -525%) Garitsa Bay		125 125/1(-525%)																															(7) Garitsa Bay 125/1, Walk In The Park gelding who hinted at promsie when seventh of 10 in bumper at Market Rasen on NH debut 36 days ago. Much respected on his hurdles debut. Soundly beaten in sole bumper and needs to take a big step forward now hurdling.
9th	11 9th (11) (33/1 +0%) Ronnies Reflection		33 33/1(+0%)																															(11) Ronnies Reflection 33/1, Poet's Voice gelding. Dam, placed over fences in France, half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Free Thinking out of fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (best up to 29f) Liberthine. Market for clues on his hurdling bow. Makes debut in a useful race and a watching brief is probably the best option.
13	13 |PU| (13) (150/1 -127%) Braunton Burrows		150 150/1(-127%)																															(13) Braunton Burrows 150/1, Has offered little in a trio of bumpers (first two for Nigel Twiston-Davies) so lots more required now going hurdling. Made no impact in her three bumpers and she would be a shock winner on this hurdle debut.
12	12 |PU| (12) (200/1 -203%) Warrior's Fate		200 200/1(-203%)																															(12) Warrior's Fate 200/1, Placed in an Irish point and hinted at promise when sixth of 13 in novice hurdle (125/1) at Southwell (15.8f, soft) 12 days ago. May do better still now back up in distance. Well beaten at big odds on first two hurdle starts and others are readily preferred.

LTO Selection:

Parade Away chased home a smart-looking winner over a similar trip at Hereford 13 days ago and he is fancied to go well again. However, he carries a winner's penalty and may have to give way to BHALOO, who was third over hurdles at Kempton on his first start for Nicky Henderson and should relish being sent over further here after running on late over 2m there. Banteer may get the better of Dancing In Brazil in the race for third spot.

A few with potential but BHALOO looked a sure-fire future winner when third on his hurdling bow at Kempton so Nicky Henderson's 5-y-o gets the vote here. Alan King's Dancing In Brazil appeals as the one to chase him home now his stamina is drawn out more, although both Parade Away and Banteer warrant respect too.

Bumper winner BHALOO stayed on for third over 2m at Kempton on last month's hurdle debut and can come out on top now upped in trip.

1	3 1st (3) (4/7 -14%) State Man		0.571429 4/7(-14%)																															(3) State Man 4/7, No match for Constitution Hill in last season's Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham but that's his only defeat in his last 9 starts, winning a second successive Morgiana at Punchestown last month. Will take all the beating. Beaten by Constitution Hill in the Champion Hurdle, very hard to fault his overall profile.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/4 +13%) Impaire Et Passe		1.75 7/4(+13%)																															(2) Impaire Et Passe 7/4, Unbeaten over hurdles last term, including victories in the Ballymore at Cheltenham (21f) and Grade 1 Champion Novice at Punchestown (19f). Shaped well in defeat when length second of 5 to Teahuppoo in Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse (2½m) on reappearance 26 days ago. Should be fine back at 2m. Top-class novice over further than this last season; tough task against State Man.
3	4 3rd (4) (18/1 -80%) Echoes In Rain		18 18/1(-80%)																															(4) Echoes In Rain 18/1, Smart hurdler. Six wins from 16 NH runs. 5 lengths second of 4 to State Man in Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, soft, 7/1) 34 days ago, no match for winner. Hard to see her turning the tables. Has an edge over Fils D'Oudairies on running behind State Man in the Morgiana.
4	1 4th (1) (28/1 +58%) Fils D'oudairies		28 28/1(+58%)																															(1) Fils D'oudairies 28/1, Smart hurdler. Three wins in the first half of the season, including 2 Grade 2s, but 8½ lengths behind State Man in the Morgiana at Punchestown. Admirable sort but likely to struggle in the company of three Mullins-trained runners.

LTO Selection:

---

Willie Mullins has a phenomenal roll of honour in this Grade 1 having landed nine of the last 11 renewals, and looks poised for another victory as he saddles three of the four runners. Last year's hero STATE MAN comes back for more and is hard to go past. He looked as good as ever on his seasonal reappearance in the Grade 1 Morgiana at Punchestown as he put his head down and readily galloped home. He has won six Grade 1 contests and the only horse to beat him at the top level is the mighty Constitution Hill. State Man's stablemate, Impaire Et Passe, is an interesting contender dropping in trip. He has two Grade 1 victories in his locker and wasn't beaten far into second over further in the Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse on his latest start. Echoes In Rain is a more than capable sort who is likely to be played late. She has five lengths to find with State Man who beat her into second in the Morgiana, though.

STATE MAN may not have been able to live with Constitution Hill in last season's Champion Hurdle but he's clear best of the rest in the 2m division and can land this for the second year running. Impaire Et Passe could be suited by the return to 2m and can give his stablemate most to do.

Last year's winner STATE MAN is likely to get a more serious test than on his reappearance but should cope with Impaire Et Passe.

1	4 1st (4) (9/1 -50%) Atlantic Dancer		9 9/1(-50%)																															(4) Atlantic Dancer 9/1, In good form during the spring, bagging handicaps at Uttoxeter and Kelso. Reappearance spin at Newcastle was probably needed and can be expected to step up on that here but this 10-y-o looks vulnerable all the same. Course winner but needed to show more on her comeback to be strongly considered.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/4 -10%) Ip Up		2.75 11/4(-10%)																															(1) Ip Up 11/4, Fair hurdler/chaser in France who struck at the third time of asking for current yard in 2m Fakenham handicap last month. Put in another good shift when a close third at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft) 9 days later (the runner-up has won since) and she's high on the shortlist. In-form mare for whom this return to further could be a positive judged on French form.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/3 +5%) Similar Story		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(5) Similar Story 10/3, Easy winner of a point in May and has shown a fair level of ability in mares' novice events, most recently chasing home a potentially useful type here (16.2f, heavy). Improvement on the cards now moving up in trip for this handicap debut and she's one to consider. Latest remote second was promising with a view to handicaps; can improve.
4	6 4th (6) (13/2 -8%) Line In The Sand		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(6) Line In The Sand 13/2, Left previous Rules form well behind when hitting the crossbar on handicap debut at Sedgefield (21.2f, soft). Lightly-raced and she has to enter calculations off the same mark with this drop back in trip likely to help. Always prominent when runner-up at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) and that was a solid run.
5th	3 5th (3) (8/1 -78%) Nell's Bells		8 8/1(-78%)																															(3) Nell's Bells 8/1, Bumper winner who scored twice from 4 starts over hurdles last season, including a 6-runner mares' handicap at Newcastle (23.7f, good to soft) when last seen in April. Lack of a recent run no real concern (won on her reappearance last term) but this is tougher up 4 lb. 4lb lower and ridden by an 8lb claimer when winning over nearly 3m at Newcastle in April.
6th	7 6th (7) (12/1 -50%) Prontoanita		12 12/1(-50%)																															(7) Prontoanita 12/1, Shaped with some encouragement in a brace of bumpers and hasn't been overly knocked about in 3 starts over hurdles so far. Type to do better now handicapping but others have more pressing claims. Hasn't progressed from bumper debut but handicaps may see her in a brighter light.
2	2 |U| (2) (7/2 +65%) Parvos		3.5 7/2(+65%)																															(2) Parvos 7/2, Fair hurdler in Ireland, placed 3 times in maiden/handicap company earlier this year. Inauspicious start for this yard here in October (reportedly had a breathing problem) and she looks risky on the back of that. 2m was too sharp here two months ago but could still have run better than she did.

LTO Selection:

---

IP UP looked in need of a step up in trip when running on well for third over shorter at Musselburgh last month. She gets that opportunity on this occasion and, with the form of that race working out well in the interim, Jedd O'Keeffe's mare may have too much for Nell's Bells, who takes a significant drop in trip, having won over much further at Newcastle in April. Similar Story and Line In The Sand are capable of being in the mix.

Given the promise she has shown in three qualifying runs, SIMILAR STORY is of strong interest now switched to handicap company off a realistic opening mark. The former point winner will also be aided by moving back up in trip (likely to stay further than this in due course). The form of Ip Up's solid effort in defeat last time has been boosted and she is feared most ahead of Line In The Sand.

Preference is for the in-form mare IP UP who remains on a competitive mark and is likely to be suited by this return to further.

1	11 1st (11) (14/1 -211%) Thegraveyardbookie		14 14/1(-211%)																															(11) Thegraveyardbookie 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, fourth of 9 in bumper at Galway (16.4f, heavy) 62 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. One to consider. Local hope has shown ability in bumpers, Galway fourth is working out well; hurdling debut.
2	10 2nd (10) (7/1 -17%) On Lovers Walk		7 7/1(-17%)																															(10) On Lovers Walk 7/1, Twice-raced maiden. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy, 20/1) 22 days ago. Dual winning pointer and debut under Rules was encouraging, so too soon to write him off. Creditable second on rules debut in Clonmel maiden; pulled up over this trip back there.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 -45%) Iceberg Theory		2 2/1(-45%)																															(1) Iceberg Theory 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 5/2, creditable second of 12 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20f, heavy) 42 days ago. The one to beat. Placed over 2m4f both hurdle outings this term, latterly when second at Wexford (heavy).
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 -150%) La Vega Moon		25 25/1(-150%)																															(5) La Vega Moon 25/1, €10,500 3-y-o, Pether's Moon gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Vereina. Dam (c112/h98), 3m chase winner, half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 21f) Nadiya de La Vega. Dual winning pointer, pulled up last time (Nov 5). Wears cheekpieces. 5yo makes rules debut for King George-winning trainer after winning two of five points.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/2 +56%) Magic Sadler		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(6) Magic Sadler 7/2, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 17 in novice hurdle (125/1) at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy) 22 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Respectable runs in two maidens, most recently over this trip at Clonmel when fourth of 17.
6th	2 6th (2) (8/1 -33%) Metalor		8 8/1(-33%)																															(2) Metalor 8/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, second of 7 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (23.5f, heavy) 35 days ago, running on. Needs to improve. Well-beaten second to odds-on favourite at Fairyhouse (2m7f), third ran well off 104 since.
7th	9 7th (9) (200/1 -203%) Kilbride Hill		200 200/1(-203%)																															(9) Kilbride Hill 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 150/1) 12 days ago, not knocked about. Out the back when fell on last year's debut; failed to beat a rival on Navan return.
8th	8 8th (8) (200/1 -506%) Diduhearabourichie		200 200/1(-506%)																															(8) Diduhearabourichie 200/1, €2,200 3-y-o, Ruler of The World gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including modest 2¼m hurdle winner Couloir Extreme. Dam maiden on Flat. Half-brother to several Flat winners, one of whom won over hurdles; best watched on debut.
3	3 |F| (3) (9/4 +93%) Now Is The Hour		2.25 9/4(+93%)																															(3) Now Is The Hour 9/4, Twice-raced maiden. 25/1, ninth of 18 in novice hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft) 98 days ago. Stable in good form. Point winner from respected yard but has made a fairly inauspicious start over hurdles.
4	4 |PU| (4) (250/1 -279%) Western Express		250 250/1(-279%)																															(4) Western Express 250/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Last of 9 in novice hurdle at Thurles (23f, soft, 250/1) on hurdles bow 57 days ago. Big prices and has shown nothing in first two outings.

LTO Selection:

Paul Nolan landed a maiden hurdle on the first day of Limerick's Christmas meeting and ICEBERG THEORY may be another winner for the Enniscorthy trainer. The Flemensfirth gelding has two solid maiden runs in the book and handled testing ground well when runner-up over a similar trip at Wexford. Eric McNamara has had a couple of horses run really well this week and Thegraveyardbookie is interesting on hurdling debut. He has shown ability in bumpers and finished ahead of the selection's Wexford conqueror in a Galway contest that has produced hurdle winners. Magic Sadler is a point-to-point winner on heavy ground who has run creditably on his first two starts over hurdles. He'll handle conditions and may not be far away.

ICEBERG THEORY ran well when runner-up at Wexford last time and, in this slightly lesser race, a performance of similar merit would be enough for him to go in again. On Lovers Walk is a big threat if he can put a poor run behind him and Thegraveyardbookie could feature on hurdling bow.

After two solid runs in maidens, including when second on heavy ground at Wexford, ICEBERG THEORY looks the one to beat

1	3 1st (3) (10/1 -25%) Erne River		10 10/1(-25%)																															(3) Erne River 10/1, Useful over hurdles and fences (course winner). Pulled up at Wetherby last time and needs cheekpieces to have a positive effect if he's to get involved. Has form figures of 112 at Doncaster (hurdles/fences); may well revive back here.
2	5 2nd (5) (33/1 -65%) One More Fleurie		33 33/1(-65%)																															(5) One More Fleurie 33/1, On a good mark judged on peak form and a C&D winner, but he hasn't shown much during the last 2 seasons and there's no real reason to envisage a revival here. Has won over C&D; respectable fifth off 10lb higher in this race last year; interesting.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 -33%) Dreaming Blue		4 4/1(-33%)																															(6) Dreaming Blue 4/1, Opened his chase account at this course and was back in form when third at Ludlow recently. Drop back in trip will help and he looks a player. Scored at this course in March; close third at Ludlow last time; fighting chance.
4	2 4th (2) (8/15 +42%) Twinjets		0.533333 8/15(+42%)																															(2) Twinjets 8/15, Dual bumper winner who attained a useful level over hurdles, winning 3 times at up to 21f for Milton Harris. All the better for chase bow when making a winning debut for this yard over C&D a fortnight ago, looking better than ever. Open to further improvement as a chaser. Comfortable win over C&D two weeks ago on debut for Paul Nicholls; should improve further.
5th	4 5th (4) (17/2 -42%) Lord Accord		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(4) Lord Accord 17/2, Lost his way last season and has run poorly on both outings this term. Back from a break and his mark is sliding. Well handicapped if back on song but soft/heavy ground would be a big negative.
1	1 |U| (1) (28/1 -180%) A Wave Of The Sea		28 28/1(-180%)																															(1) A Wave Of The Sea 28/1, First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien, pulled up in handicap chase at Aintree (19.9f, heavy, 16/1) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Hard to make a case for. Useful for Joseph O'Brien; drops in grade on second start for new yard; possibilities.

LTO Selection:

TWINJETS took a decent step forward from his chasing bow at Ascot when making his first appearance for Paul Nicholls over C&D a fortnight ago. The handicapper has taken no chances, with the six-year-old being raised 9lb, but it wouldn't be a big surprise if he backed that performance up in a contest where all of his rivals have something to prove. A Wave Of The Sea should benefit from a sounder surface on this occasion, while Dreaming Blue completes the shortlist based on his third at Ludlow.

TWINJETS created an excellent impression when making a successful debut for Paul Nicholls here and, with more to come, he's fancied to follow up. Dreaming Blue is one to consider having bounced back last time and Lord Accord is becoming too well handicapped to ignore.

With further progress on the cards, TWINJETS gets the verdict. Dreaming Blue is next best on last-time-out form.

1	9 1st (9) (12/1 -71%) Champagne Admiral		12 12/1(-71%)																															(9) Champagne Admiral 12/1, Didn't need to be at best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 6/5) 38 days ago, pushed out. Back up in trip for this handicap debut. Not without each-way hope. Progressive novice; could have got in lightly for handicap debut and one for the shortlist.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/2 +9%) Waterford Whispers		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(5) Waterford Whispers 5/2, Promising type. 4/1, won 11-runner novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft) 27 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Remains unexposed and very much of interest on this handicap debut. Progressing well and the form of his Fairyhouse win received a major boost on Tuesday.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 -200%) Yeats Star		10 10/1(-200%)																															(2) Yeats Star 10/1, Two wins from 6 runs this season. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, soft, 5/2) 34 days ago, all out. Further progress likely and merits respect in his bid to complete the hat-trick. Punchestown winner on handicap debut and effectively only 2lb higher for this.
4	11 4th (11) (33/1 -18%) Quarry Rocco		33 33/1(-18%)																															(11) Quarry Rocco 33/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. Successful at Ballinrobe in August. 15/2, eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 48 days ago. Back up in trip. Maiden winner on yielding; offered little in two heavy-ground handicaps, at 3m and 2m.
5th	10 5th (10) (12/1 -20%) Petit King		12 12/1(-20%)																															(10) Petit King 12/1, Career best when winning 17-runner handicap hurdle (14/1) at Punchestown (19.2f, heavy) 17 days ago. More needed up 7 lb but he's a strong candidate all the same. Recent Punchestown winner; has to deal with a 7lb rise in stronger company this time.
6th	12 6th (12) (10/11 +94%) Linden Arden		0.909091 10/11(+94%)																															(12) Linden Arden 10/11, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 4/1, bit below form fifth of 18 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (20.2f, soft). Makes handicap debut for new yard. Paul Townend prefers Mount Sinai. 0-5 but on one piece of form he could be very well handicapped now with Willie Mullins.
7th	4 7th (4) (33/1 -50%) Sportinthepark		33 33/1(-50%)																															(4) Sportinthepark 33/1, Thrice-raced winner under Rules. 89 lengths last of 11 to Waterford Whispers in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft, 20/1) 27 days ago. Hood back on and clearly has work to do. Handicap debut. Wexford winner but then tailed off behind Waterford Whispers at Fairyhouse.
8th	7 8th (7) (18/1 -157%) Mount Sinai		18 18/1(-157%)																															(7) Mount Sinai 18/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. 25/1, 33¾ lengths fifth of 6 to Jetara in listed hurdle at Punchestown (19.2f, heavy) 17 days ago. Step forward needed now pitched into a handicap but she couldn't be in better hands. Lightly raced maiden winner and making her handicap debut for a leading yard.
6	6 |F| (6) (14/1 +0%) Western Fold		14 14/1(+0%)																															(6) Western Fold 14/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. Creditable 15½ lengths fifth of 11 to Waterford Whispers in novice hurdle (8/1) at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft) 27 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Raced a bit keenly when 15l off Waterford Whispers at Fairyhouse; may improve.

SEQUESTERED couldn't land a blow in a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Cheltenham, but has prospects on his three previous performances. He won his maiden hurdle in Sligo before filling the runner-up berth behind a more than useful horse in Listowel. His victory in a Galway novice hurdle was well franked when the runner-up came out and won a good handicap in Clonmel. Waterford Whispers competes off a mark of 123 after victories in a Galway maiden hurdle and a rated novice hurdle in Fairyhouse. Trip and ground will be ideal for him. Yeats Star is another hat-trick seeker and tries this trip for the first time. He notably stretched clear by 13 lengths over an extended 2m1f at Downpatrick in October. Mount Sinai and Petit King are others to consider.

There should be more to come from WATERFORD WHISPERS, who was strong at the finish when landing a Fairyhouse novice upped to this trip at the beginning of the month and his opening mark looks fair. Must Go Now left his maiden form well behind when third of 15 on handicap debut at Thurles and he is next on the list ahead of the hat-trick seeking Yeats Star. Petit King is also worthy of consideration.

An interesting race and the market could shed plent of light. Willie Mullins may have recruited a well-treated horse in LINDEN ARDEN.

1	5 1st (5) (5/1 +38%) Dream Boy		5 5/1(+38%)																															(5) Dream Boy 5/1, Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points and fair form when fourth in a Hexham bumper and 2m Ayr novice hurdle on first 2 outings for this yard. Need to forgive a lesser run back at Ayr since. Two respectable efforts over hurdles at Ayr and should be in the mix.

Has had a breathing operation ahead of this Rules debut. Also fitted with a tongue strap. Likely type. Bought for £100,000 after finishing runner-up in an Irish point back in March.
3	9 3rd (9) (20/1 -264%) Isholo Du Vivien		20 20/1(-264%)																															(9) Isholo Du Vivien 20/1, Point winner. Weakened to finish last of 4 on Bangor bumper debut at the beginning of the month but still no surprise were he up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling. Only 9-4 for bumper debut at Bangor but dropped away to finish last of the four.
4	13 4th (13) (11/2 +15%) Wolfburg		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(13) Wolfburg 11/2, Much better effort in bumpers 6 months apart (had breathing operation in between) when third of 12 at Carlisle 54 days ago. That form has been boosted and he sets out over hurdles in a winnable race. Third in Carlisle bumper and capable of another step forward now switched to hurdles.
5th	10 5th (10) (125/1 -150%) Master Bricklayer		125 125/1(-150%)																															(10) Master Bricklayer 125/1, Well held in a course bumper and Ayr novice hurdle 8 months apart. Probably more one for the longer term. Down the field in a Kelso bumper and Ayr maiden hurdle; looks to need more time.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/4 +80%) Ballyfort		2.75 11/4(+80%)																															(1) Ballyfort 11/4, £30,000 buy from the Irish pointing field who offered something to work on when fifth of 9 in 2m Ayr novice hurdle 55 days ago, albeit he looked a bit tricky (pulled hard and hung left). Hood goes on now. Beaten under 8l in a 2m novice at Ayr and there were some good horses ahead of him.
7th	11 7th (11) (40/1 -150%) Northern Cardinal		40 40/1(-150%)																															(11) Northern Cardinal 40/1, Third in a course bumper in April but not in the same form when down the field in another bumper here 7 months later. Walk On Quest likely the stable first string. Tailed off in the end in a bumper here last time after pulling himself to the front.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 -175%) Boot 'n' Shoe		33 33/1(-175%)																															(2) Boot 'n' Shoe 33/1, Reached the frame in a couple of AW bumpers at Newcastle in early 2022 but hasn't been seen since. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations now hurdling. Beaten about 4l in two AW bumpers at Newcastle in early 2022.
7	7 |PU| (7) (200/1 -300%) Foshan		200 200/1(-300%)																															(7) Foshan 200/1, Modest maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 11.5f), below form final 3 starts in 2023. Best watched now hurdling. 12-race Flat maiden but with placed form to his name and he stayed 1m3f.

WALK ON QUEST was purchased for 100,000 pounds at the Goffs Aintree sale following a runner-up effort in his sole point-to-point outing. The four-year-old boasts an attractive pedigree, with his dam a half-sister to smart 2m chaser Petit Robin, and appears to have been found the ideal opportunity on his Rules debut. Ballyfort shaped with promise on his hurdling bow at Ayr in November and is open to improvement, while Miss Arabella appeals most of the remainder.

The suggestion is Lucinda Russell Irish point recruit WALK ON QUEST, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Wolfburg looks an interesting alternative having shown plenty in a Carlisle bumper on his return.

Perhaps the most interesting runner is WALK ON QUEST who fetched £100,000 after finishing second in a point.

12	12 (12) (14/1 +0%) Day's A Dawning		14 14/1(+0%)																															(12) Day's A Dawning 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, twelfth of 16 in bumper at Galway (16f, heavy) 61 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and of interest. Last on bumper debut, beaten around 20l when huge prices for October bumpers; hurdles bow.
1	10 1st (10) (50/1 -100%) Aghmorough Bridge		50 50/1(-100%)																															(10) Aghmorough Bridge 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 22/1, last of 12 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.2f, heavy) on hurdles bow 42 days ago. Had plenty of racing in points, winning three times; tailed off in Wexford maiden hurdle.
2	2 2nd (2) (20/1 -25%) Carlas Big Jim		20 20/1(-25%)																															(2) Carlas Big Jim 20/1, Poor hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. Good fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, heavy, 28/1) 22 days ago. Rated 83 after seven unplaced runs over hurdles; beaten 26l when fifth at Clonmel latest.
3	6 3rd (6) (28/1 +15%) Le Fanu		28 28/1(+15%)																															(6) Le Fanu 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 250/1, ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Beaten a long way on return from year off at Thurles but that was a hot contest.
4	3 4th (3) (10/3 +67%) Doonbeg Don		3.333333 10/3(+67%)																															(3) Doonbeg Don 10/3, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourth of 5 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Punchestown (22f, soft) 33 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Second in sole point; heavy defeats both hurdle starts but this is a big drop in class..
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 +0%) Balally Park		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(1) Balally Park 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 66/1, excellent fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20f, heavy) 42 days ago. Looks the one to beat in a thin race. Best effort so far when fourth at Wexford (2m4f, heavy); jumping was still untidy there.
6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 +0%) Rodney		25 25/1(+0%)																															(9) Rodney 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 6 in bumper (50/1) at Naas (16f, soft) 15 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Fair sixth in Navan bumper but tailed off latest when tried in headgear; hurdles debut.
7th	11 7th (11) (12/1 -71%) Caughtinaspell		12 12/1(-71%)																															(11) Caughtinaspell 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Respectable fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, heavy, 13/2) 22 days ago. One to consider. Beaten roughly 20l all three starts in maiden hurdles over various trips; more needed.
8th	7 8th (7) (7/4 +61%) Marciano		1.75 7/4(+61%)																															(7) Marciano 7/4, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, fourth of 15 in novice hurdle (18/1) at Killarney (17f, good to soft). Off 7 months. One to note on return. Freegoing type was inclined to hang left in three starts in the spring; showed ability.
9th	5 9th (5) (7/1 -40%) Jeronimo De L'ouch		7 7/1(-40%)																															(5) Jeronimo De L'ouch 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Naas (19f, soft, 14/1) on hurdles bow 15 days ago. More required. Not shamed in bumpers and hurdling debut fourth at Naas came after seven months off.
10th	16 10th (16) (50/1 -400%) Ma Hoey		50 50/1(-400%)																															(16) Ma Hoey 50/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 14 in hunter chase (9/2) at Cork (24f, soft) on debut over fences. Dual winning pointer, well held last time (May 21) Dual winning pointer has made no impression in four starts under rules; back from lay-off.
11th	18 11th (18) (250/1 -279%) Silverfort Lady		250 250/1(-279%)																															(18) Silverfort Lady 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 10 in novice hurdle at Naas (19f, soft, 200/1) 15 days ago. Out the back in first completed start over hurdles at Naas; can only be watched.
12th	17 12th (17) (150/1 -127%) Meoulflower		150 150/1(-127%)																															(17) Meoulflower 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, twelfth of 26 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) 20 days ago. Modest on the Flat and hard to make a case for her on the evidence of three hurdle runs.
13th	14 13th (14) (16/1 +68%) Imperial Fox		16 16/1(+68%)																															(14) Imperial Fox 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Thurles (23f, soft, 50/1) on hurdles bow 36 days ago. Won two points on good ground in late spring; poor form under rules so far.
14th	15 14th (15) (22/1 +12%) Janverlil		22 22/1(+12%)																															(15) Janverlil 22/1, Poor hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 80/1, eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) 169 days ago. Mare rated 80 and seems modest; has been off since July.

MARCIANO has shown enough in three starts to merit each-way support in a race where compelling form is thin on the ground. His opening fifth on heavy ground at Clonmel has been well franked and on his next start in Ballinrobe he ran out when leading. His subsequent fourth in Killarney wasn't a bad effort. His trainer, Edward O'Grady, saddled a winner for owner JP McManus at Leopardstown on Tuesday. Day's A Dawning has been unplaced in three bumpers, but represents Gordon Elliott's powerful stable and could improve on hurdling debut. Jeronimo De L'ouch put in an improved display in fourth at Naas and could build upon that while Caughtinaspell's fourth place in Clonmel gives her a chance.

BALALLY PARK improved when fourth in a stronger contest at Wexford and this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account if he's in the same form. Caughtinaspell and Marciano look the main dangers although Ashdale Flyer would merit strong consideration if she got in (currently first reserve).

He wasn't mapped in a better maiden last time but his previous fourth on the inner track here gives MIDWEEK VOICES a decent chance

1	1 1st (1) (10/3 +26%) Rewired		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(1) Rewired 10/3, Landed a pair of 2m handicaps at Huntingdon last season. Absent since a lesser effort at Wincanton in March. Much depends on whether he's fully primed after 9 months off. Below par in March when last seen but good campaign otherwise; goes well fresh.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/11 +55%) Wholeofthemoon		0.909091 10/11(+55%)																															(3) Wholeofthemoon 10/11, Fairly useful Flat winner who left his previous hurdle efforts behind when making a successful handicap debut over 19.5f here 14 days ago. A 7 lb rise looks fair enough given the front 2 were well clear. Won here on recent handicap hurdle debut and there could still be mileage in his mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/2 +25%) East End Girl		2.5 5/2(+25%)																															(4) East End Girl 5/2, Joined this yard from Lucy Wadham in the summer and won over hurdles at Hereford in October. Good second over C&D the following month and ran well enough on AW Flat last week to think she's still in form. In good form on last two hurdle starts and could play leading role now back in this code.
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 +24%) Whyzzat		25 25/1(+24%)																															(5) Whyzzat 25/1, Fair hurdle winner in Ireland in 2021. Very lightly raced since but did shape better than bare result back from 17 months off when seventh on chase debut at Hereford (2m) last month. This ought to reveal more. Won on hurdle debut in Ireland in August 2021 but unable to recapture that promise since.

TINTINTIN clearly benefited from his return to action at Cheltenham when getting back to winning ways at Lingfield earlier in the month. A 4lb rise appears to be more than fair and the four-year-old is expected to continue the stable's excellent run of form. Wholeofthemoon caused a surprise on his handicap bow at Doncaster and is capable of being in the mix, while a switch back to hurdles can aid the cause of East End Girl.

WHOLEOFTHEMOON was clear with another improver here last time so a 7 lb rise looks fair and he's preferred to fellow last-time-out scorer Tintintin.

Having travelled well when winning over 2m3f here a fortnight ago, WHOLEOFTHEMOON is taken to make it 2-2 in handicap hurdles.

1	3 1st (3) (9/4 -50%) Jalon D'oudairies		2.25 9/4(-50%)																															(3) Jalon D'oudairies 9/4, Won sole start in points (Mar 12) and readily off the mark at the first time of asking under Rules in 6-runner event at Fairyhouse. Open to significant improvement and looks the main danger to Redemption Day. Impressive in a point and bumper; completely unexposed and could be anything.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/10 +56%) Redemption Day		1.1 11/10(+56%)																															(5) Redemption Day 11/10, Thrice-raced winner in bumpers. 1¼ lengths second of 9 to Facile Vega in Champion INH Flat Race (10/1) at Punchestown (16.3f, good to soft), running on. Off 20 months. Leading contender. Top-class bumper horse two seasons ago; market instructive on belated return.
3	10 3rd (10) (28/1 -12%) Switch From Diesel		28 28/1(-12%)																															(10) Switch From Diesel 28/1, Won 12-runner bumper (7/1) at Tipperary (16.2f, soft) 89 days ago by 3 lengths from Ma Belle Etoile, going with enthusiasm. More on her plate here. Absent since early October when beating Ma Belle Etoile by 3l on soft ground at Tipperary.
4	6 4th (6) (7/1 +50%) The Passing Wife		7 7/1(+50%)																															(6) The Passing Wife 7/1, Twice-raced winner under NH rules. 3/1, won 8-runner bumper at Punchestown (16.9f, soft) on bumper debut 33 days ago, travelling strongly. Front two came clear at Punchestown but that form has since been let down.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 +0%) Glowing Account		12 12/1(+0%)																															(2) Glowing Account 12/1, Winner in bumper at Listowel in September. Fourth of 9 in bumper at Cork (19f, good to soft, 4/9) 75 days ago. Others preferred. Debut winner who disappointed at Cork; Patrick Mullins gets him off this time.
6th	1 6th (1) (17/2 +15%) Big Dee		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(1) Big Dee 17/2, Won 11-runner bumper (15/2) at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 48 days ago, driven out. Could do better still, so not completely dismissed. Beaten by Luckinthecity first time but then won comfortably at Down Royal.
7th	4 7th (4) (12/1 -20%) Luckinthecity		12 12/1(-20%)																															(4) Luckinthecity 12/1, 6/5, won 9-runner bumper at Listowel (16f, soft) on NH debut 102 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Big Dee, well on top finish. Likely to improve and could feature. Beat Big Dee at Listowel despite conceding lengths at the start; clearly useful.
8th	8 8th (8) (150/1 +0%) Garswood Gold		150 150/1(+0%)																															(8) Garswood Gold 150/1, Garswood gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners on Flat, including 1m-9.5f winner Arrowzone. Dam 7f winner. Flat-bred newcomer; likely to come up short behind stouter-bred opposition.

LTO Selection:

JALON D'OUDAIRIES carried a lofty reputation to the track and more than justified it in a decent bumper at Fairyhouse. He made 420,000 guineas at the Sales after a decisive point-to-point victory and connections would have been very heartened by the way he stayed on strongly to win by five lengths in Fairyhouse. He looks to have a bright future. Willie Mullins fields three horses with his son Patrick opting for Redemption Day. This Blue Bresil gelding has plenty of ability and ran a high-class horse to a length and a quarter when last seen finishing second in the Grade 1 bumper at the Punchestown Festival. He is a major threat. Luckinthecity put in decent late work to score in Listowel and the runner-up, Big Dee, came out and delivered in Down Royal so they both merit consideration.

REDEMPTION DAY hasn't been seen for 20 months but his top yard should have him ready and his second to Facile Vega in the Champion INH Flat Race at Punchestown is the standout piece of form, so he gets the nod. Jalon d'Oudairies is unbeaten in 2 (including a point) and looks the main danger ahead of Luckinthecity.

Redemption Day's form claims are crystal clear but on this demanding ground preference is for the well-regarded JALON D'OUDAIRIES.

1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +55%) Rath An Iuir		5 5/1(+55%)																															(2) Rath An Iuir 5/1, Useful chaser who was successful in this race 12 months ago. Not in same form since, including when well held on return at Wetherby, but now 2 lb lower than last year and perhaps the fitting of more severe headgear (sports a first-time visor here) will do the trick. Made low-key seasonal debut but now 2lb lower than when winning this race a year ago.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 +10%) Just Don't Know		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(1) Just Don't Know 9/2, Dual winner again last term (including here) and signed that campaign off with a good second back at this course (23.4f, good to soft) in May. Shaped as though in need of the run over what is probably an inadequate trip on return and he could have a big say with this test more suitable. Course winner last season; probably needed last month's run; high on the list.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 +0%) Camp Belan		3 3/1(+0%)																															(3) Camp Belan 3/1, Thorough stayer who gained his sole success to date over this C&D off a 4 lb higher mark last November. Rather-in-and out since but he put in a decent shift when 5½ lengths third to Gipsy Lee Rose back here last time and entitled to get closer to that rival on these revised terms. C&D winner last season and ran well behind Gipsy Lee Rose here last month; in the mix.
4	4 4th (4) (9/2 -29%) Onestepatatime		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(4) Onestepatatime 9/2, All 3 career wins gained in handicap chases at Sedgefied, the latest a narrow success over 26.9f (heavy) last month. Wasn't disgraced off this revised mark over the same C&D next time, for all that she failed to justify short-priced favouritism, and couldn't rule out with James King booked. 3-9 over fences (all wins at Sedgefield); James King is a good booking; a possible.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 -122%) Gipsy Lee Rose		5 5/1(-122%)																															(6) Gipsy Lee Rose 5/1, Capitalised on a career-low mark when scoring by a whisker over this C&D (heavy) last month, despite being the first one off the bridle. 5 lb 'wrong' at the weights this time but remains feasibly treated overall and she needs considering. Kept on stoutly for narrow C&D win last month but effectively 8lb higher today.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/2 +21%) Don Brocco		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(5) Don Brocco 11/2, Modest winning hurdler who bettered his chase debut display when third in an 8-runner handicap at (24.2f, heavy) 16 days ago. Should pick up a race in this sphere at some point, assuming he manages to build on that, but others make more appeal on this occasion. Placed at Hexham recently but contests this stronger race from 3lb out of the weights.

LTO Selection:

---

GIPSY LEE ROSE needed every yard of the trip to score over C&D on her latest start and the use of Paddy Hanlon's 7lb claim gives her every chance of backing up that success. Onestepatatime was a beaten favourite on her most recent outing at Sedgefield but is capable of leaving that effort behind her. Camp Belan and Don Brocco head the remainder.

A trappy-looking contest, with all six holding a chance. JUST DON'T KNOW's form figures here read 212 prior to a low-key reappearance effort last month and, with that run under his belt and this step back up in trip a plus, he could be the answer. Camp Belan has a good chance of reversing last-time-out C&D placings with Gipsy Lee Rose on these revised terms and is second choice ahead of Onestepatatime.

Thorough stayer JUST DON'T KNOW gets the nod in the hope that last month's reappearance run did him good.

1	7 1st (7) (9/1 +36%) Another Ocana		9 9/1(+36%)																															(7) Another Ocana 9/1, 8/1, bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (21f, heavy) 38 days ago. Others more persuasive. More needed but on the plus side, he does seem to save some of his best for here.
2	12 2nd (12) (22/1 +56%) I'm For Home		22 22/1(+56%)																															(12) I'm For Home 22/1, 28/1, creditable tenth of 22 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.9f, heavy) 17 days ago. Back down in trip. Engaged 1.30 here Thursday. Not disgraced at Punchestown latest considering his jumping left a little to be desired.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 -180%) Young Fitzy		14 14/1(-180%)																															(6) Young Fitzy 14/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Naas (16f, soft) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Shortlist material. In decent spirits lately and stays the trip well but a shade vulnerable to less exposed.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 +0%) Imbolc		16 16/1(+0%)																															(9) Imbolc 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) 15 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Engaged 1.30 here Thursday. Not a great deal of miles on the clock over hurdles but has it to prove.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/2 -29%) St Denis's Well		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(5) St Denis's Well 9/2, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Creditable fourth of 19 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Down Royal (17f, soft) 3 days ago. Can give a good account. Busy few days but on form and entitled to be in the shake up, must be respected.
6th	10 6th (10) (9/1 +25%) The Flying Donkey		9 9/1(+25%)																															(10) The Flying Donkey 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Tramore (21f, soft) 31 days ago. Rank outsider on recent handicap debut but ran a solid race in fourth, improver.
7th	1 7th (1) (9/4 +25%) Johngus		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(1) Johngus 9/4, 20/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, unknown) 2 days ago. Carries penalty. Merits consideration. Some handy form when firing over fences and won 2m handicap hurdle here on Wednesday.
8th	4 8th (4) (8/1 -45%) Natural Breeze		8 8/1(-45%)																															(4) Natural Breeze 8/1, One win from 25 NH runs. Respectable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, heavy, 7/1) 22 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Hard to fault on latest evidence and first-time blinkers won't need to improve him much.
9th	15 9th (15) (8/1 +88%) A Nod To Getaway		8 8/1(+88%)																															(15) A Nod To Getaway 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 14 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Killarney (17f, good). Off 17 months. Tongue strap on for 1st time. The lack of a recent run adds to what already looks a tall order, not high on the list.
10th	20 10th (20) (14/1 -75%) Eddies Pride		14 14/1(-75%)																															(20) Eddies Pride 14/1, One win from 32 NH runs. Good third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy, 18/1) 22 days ago, barely adequate test. Can give a good account if getting a run. RESERVE. Jumping let her down at Clonmel but still ran a nice race, respected; Reserve.
11th	19 11th (19) (33/1 -106%) Added Bonus		33 33/1(-106%)																															(19) Added Bonus 33/1, One win from 35 NH runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Tramore (21f, soft) 31 days ago. RESERVE. Good second at Gowran in September but ran very flat twice in the interim; Reserve.
12th	11 12th (11) (28/1 +44%) Askwell		28 28/1(+44%)																															(11) Askwell 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft, 28/1) 29 days ago. Had shown promise in his qualifying runs prior to that. Maiden form not much to write home about, needs to come out swinging.
13th	14 13th (14) (80/1 -21%) Five Minutes More		80 80/1(-21%)																															(14) Five Minutes More 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle (125/1) at Gowran (20f, heavy) 48 days ago. Maiden form falls well short of the mark, switch to handicaps needs to work wonders.
14th	17 14th (17) (22/1 -38%) Kate Ill Know		22 22/1(-38%)																															(17) Kate Ill Know 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, first run since leaving Miss D. M. O'Shea when below form seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy) 22 days ago. Should strip fitter for the run. Enters calculations. Probably needed it when off the pace at Clonmel, expect a good deal better.

JOHNGUS would have to be taken very seriously if turning out again under a penalty. He reappeared from an absence of more than eight months to win a handicap hurdle over 2m at this venue on Wednesday. That was a race it where it paid to be handy as very few got into it, and he was able to stride home by four and a half lengths. He has won two of his last three races which is decent form in the context of this race. Natural Breeze gets first-time blinkers on the back of a string of consistent efforts where he has been picking up prize money. Caragh Monaghan is getting a tune out of St Denis's Well with the duo winning in Navan and finishing fourth in Down Royal on Tuesday.

The suggestion is ST DENIS'S WELL, assuming this doesn't come too soon after Down Royal on Tuesday. Young Fitzy arrives on the back of a couple of decent runs and also makes the shortlist along with Wednesday's Limerick-winner Johngus and Philip Rothwell pair Legacy of Dreams and Natural Breeze.

THE FLYING DONKEY was the outsider on handicap debut at Tramore but he fired a real sign of intent in fourth, and is given the nod

1	7 1st (7) (14/1 -100%) Al Suil Eile		14 14/1(-100%)																															(7) Al Suil Eile 14/1, Course winner. After 10 months off, shaped as if retaining ability when fifth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at this course (7.1f) 2 weeks ago, left poorly placed. Could take a step forward from that. Kept on well for fifth over 7f here a fortnight ago, after a break; one to consider.

Could be thereabouts from his career-low mark. Ran well from the front when fourth over C&D last week but is now 0-18.
3	9 3rd (9) (4/1 +0%) Revoquable		4 4/1(+0%)																															(9) Revoquable 4/1, C&D winner. Successful at Newcastle in October and soon left behind a lesser effort when ¾-length second of 12 to Equiami in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 22 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Major player. Does not have much margin for error off this mark but was second over C&D this month.
4	5 4th (5) (16/1 +0%) Back From Dubai		16 16/1(+0%)																															(5) Back From Dubai 16/1, Three-time C&D winner. Successful at Beverley in June but not in the same form since, twelfth of 13 in handicap (25/1) at this course (7.1f) when last seen in September. Others preferred. Runs this track very well but was out of form when last seen in late summer.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 -17%) Captain Corelli		14 14/1(-17%)																															(6) Captain Corelli 14/1, Below his best this year but better signs on his last 2 starts, no extra only late on when sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 45 days ago. Has eased further in the weights but more needed to take advantage. Just a respectable sixth over 7f last month but today's longer trip suts him better.
6th	3 6th (3) (25/1 -456%) Mr Strutter		25 25/1(-456%)																															(3) Mr Strutter 25/1, Course winner. Back to form when winning 11-runner handicap (11/1) at Catterick (7f, heavy) 59 days ago, suited by way race developed. Task is to back that up now. Good winner on heavy turf in October but 6lb rise might leave this veteran vulnerable.
7th	1 7th (1) (22/1 -214%) Sienna Breeze		22 22/1(-214%)																															(1) Sienna Breeze 22/1, Twelve runs since her sole success back in 2021. Creditable efforts on her last 2 starts, fifth of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 22 days ago. Can give her running once more. Comes here after two good efforts at Chelmsford (1m/7f) but is not one to rely upon.
8th	10 8th (10) (11/2 +31%) Kodi Noir		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(10) Kodi Noir 11/2, Produced his best work once the race was over when fifth of 10 in handicap (8/1) at this course (7.1f) 2 weeks ago, nearest finish. Back down to his last winning mark so he's capable if on a going day. Generally very consistent in second half of this year, and won off this mark in September.
9th	11 9th (11) (10/1 -186%) Equiami		10 10/1(-186%)																															(11) Equiami 10/1, Back to best when winning 12-runner handicap (13/2) at this C&D 22 days ago by ¾ length from Revoquable, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Respected as he bids for a third success at this venue. Came from off the pace for C&D win this month; effectively 6lb higher today, though.
10th	4 10th (4) (50/1 -52%) Lucky Protector		50 50/1(-52%)																															(4) Lucky Protector 50/1, After 4 months off and in first-time hood, finished well held when last of 14 in handicap (80/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 22 days ago. Has work to do as he makes his tapeta debut. Raced too freely and was always behind when 80-1 for recent handicap debut (1m2f).
11th	8 11th (8) (40/1 +0%) My Boy Benji		40 40/1(+0%)																															(8) My Boy Benji 40/1, Making all-weather/handicap debut, fared no better when seventh in 10-runner event at this course (11.1f, 20/1) in August. Improvement required as he drops back down in trip after a break. Soundly beaten on handicap debut here (1m3f) in August but remains very unexposed.
12th	12 12th (12) (200/1 -100%) Straitouttacompton		200 200/1(-100%)																															(12) Straitouttacompton 200/1, Four-time C&D winner. Has been struggling for form, pulling hard when last of 6 in claiming hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft, 200/1) 54 days ago. Best watched back on the level. Struggles to get competitive nowadays and can't be recommended.

LTO Selection:

---

Equiami looks interesting sitting low in the weights as the three-year-old arrives after a win last time out over course and distance - his second from two starts for a 100% strike rate. That said, he is worse off at the weights with REVOQUABLE, who was a half-length behind him earlier in the month, and has perhaps the better of the draw here as well. Mr Strutter also makes the shortlist after an easy win at Catterick, but his all-weather strike rate isn't as good as it is on the turf.

Refitted with a tongue strap, REVOQUABLE bounced back to form when runner-up at this C&D last time, faring best of those ridden close up, so he can build on that to gain a third win of the year. He is taken to reverse the form with Equiami from when the pair met here 22 days ago, with Al Suil Eile completing the shortlist.

The answer might be CAPTAIN CORELLI, who didn't run badly over 7f last month and now returns to his optimum trip on a workable mark.

1	4 1st (4) (6/1 -33%) David's Diva		6 6/1(-33%)																															(4) David's Diva 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 24 days ago, nearest finish. Remains low mileage and she may yet improve. Continues to show ability; remains open to progress at this level; second handicap attempt.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/1 -10%) Daafy		11 11/1(-10%)																															(8) Daafy 11/1, Four-time course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Possibly still needed run when seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 20/1) 18 days ago. Should make more impact returned to this track. On a 16-race losing sequence but the return to Southwell is a plus; all wins here.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/3 +17%) Camacho Star		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(5) Camacho Star 10/3, 3 wins from 10 runs this year. First outing since breathing operation, won 12-runner handicap (13/2) at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago, driven out. Leading player from 4 lb higher mark. Had wind surgery prior to his 7f success here two weeks ago; stays 1m; commands respect.
4	3 4th (3) (5/1 +29%) Locked N' Loaded		5 5/1(+29%)																															(3) Locked N' Loaded 5/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 18/1) 19 days ago. Well treated if back to best. Went close at this course in March; interesting off 4lb lower back here; drops in class.
5th	6 5th (6) (17/2 -42%) Rose Light		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(6) Rose Light 17/2, Another respectable effort when sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 24 days ago. Mark has edged down further and she's respected again. Still a maiden but looks well handicapped on peak efforts; third start for new yard.
6th	9 6th (9) (10/1 -25%) Martin's Brig		10 10/1(-25%)																															(9) Martin's Brig 10/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (3/1) at this C&D 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs a couple of these to falter. Has done all his winning at 7f but ran respectably over C&D three weeks ago; in the mix.
7th	1 7th (1) (8/1 -14%) Amaysmont		8 8/1(-14%)																															(1) Amaysmont 8/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Failed to land gamble when fifth of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Newcastle (7.1f) 20 days ago. Attractively weighted but needs to step up on recent efforts. Fairly useful on his day but was a disappointing favourite dropped to this grade last time.
8th	2 8th (2) (25/1 -56%) Miss Britain		25 25/1(-56%)																															(2) Miss Britain 25/1, C&D winner. 25/1, fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 20 days ago, suited by way race developed. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Has become well treated; shaped encouragingly on latest start; not ruled out.
9th	7 9th (7) (40/1 -60%) Nine Elms		40 40/1(-60%)																															(7) Nine Elms 40/1, C&D winner. Last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 16/1) 13 days ago. Can't be fancied on recent showings. Needs to rebound in a big way, having failed to beat a rival the last twice.
10th	10 10th (10) (7/1 +0%) Big Narstie		7 7/1(+0%)																															(10) Big Narstie 7/1, Temperamental sort. Course winner. 16/1, sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 22 days ago. Others make greater appeal. Ran quite encouragingly over C&D last time; defied a 15lb higher mark here in February.
11th	11 11th (11) (17/2 +15%) Maurices Men		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(11) Maurices Men 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, showed more when fourth of 11 on handicap debut at Chelmsford City (7f) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Frame claims again. Signs of improvement at Chelmsford (handicap debut) three weeks ago; still unexposed.

LTO Selection:

CAMACHO STAR seemed to show the benefits of a wind operation when winning here over seven furlongs earlier in the month, despite failing to get a clear run, and as he can be expected to improve for that run, an added 4lb may not stop him doubling up. Trainer Mick Appleby won this last year and he has Big Narstie in here and as the five-year-old has won off 15lb higher he cannot be ignored for the places, leaving the consistent Martin's Brig to chase them home.

CAMACHO STAR underwent a breathing operation prior to winning here a fortnight ago and Kevin Ryan's 3-y-o looks capable of following up. Rose Light has edged down the weights without having lost her form and can get involved, with Maurices Men also considered after a more encouraging handicap debut last time.

The shortlist comprises the 3yos CAMACHO STAR, David's Diva and Maurices Men in that order of preference.

1	2 1st (2) (13/8 +35%) Leap Day		1.625 13/8(+35%)																															(2) Leap Day 13/8, 33/1, bounced back to best making a belated handicap debut when third of 12 at Newcastle (7.1f) 3 weeks ago. Respected. Ran right up to his best when 3rd in a 7f handicap this month; should stay 1m; e-w claims.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 +20%) Gold Aura		2 2/1(+20%)																															(3) Gold Aura 2/1, 6/5 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, proved a let-down after 3 months off on first outing since leaving Richard Hannon (sold 25,000 gns) when third of 9 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f) 22 days ago, wanting to lug right throughout. Makes tapeta debut. Worth another chance. Looked a tricky ride on stable debut latest; better than that and she's a solid candidate.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 +0%) Rocklyn		9 9/1(+0%)																															(5) Rocklyn 9/1, Shaped quite well under a considerate ride from a poor position when fifth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 33/1) on debut 25 days ago. Should improve. Couldn't threaten on 7f debut but did shape with some promise; open to plenty of progress.
4	8 4th (8) (22/1 -144%) Catrake Force		22 22/1(-144%)																															(8) Catrake Force 22/1, Showed plenty to work on when runner-up at Wolverhampton on debut but finished last of 9 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f, 6/1) next time. Down in trip. Promising second on debut; less good at Chelmsford since; each-way claims down to 1m.
5th	6 5th (6) (13/2 +7%) Thelastwinterarrow		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(6) Thelastwinterarrow 13/2, Aclaim filly. Half-sister to 6f-7f winner Robbie Roo Roo and 1m winner Hungry Heidi. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 1¼m. Half-sister to two minor winners out of a 7f 2yo winner; check betting on debut.
6th	1 6th (1) (5/1 -82%) On The Cards		5 5/1(-82%)																															(1) On The Cards 5/1, 9/2, improved from debut when second of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 34 days ago, headed near line. In the mix again. Made a red-hot favourite work hard last time but not sure that's the most reliable form.
7th	4 7th (4) (40/1 -264%) Pelissanne		40 40/1(-264%)																															(4) Pelissanne 40/1, 13/2, held back by inexperience when last of 4 in minor event at Newcastle (8f) on debut 8 weeks ago, very slowly away. In need of the experience when last of 4 on last month's debut (1m, Tapeta); can do better.
8th	7 8th (7) (125/1 -525%) Teah		125 125/1(-525%)																															(7) Teah 125/1, 33/1, showed more than first time up when sixth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 9 weeks ago. Still has something to learn. Modest form in two runs over shorter this autumn, including Tapeta; needs plenty more.

LTO Selection:

---

On The Cards seems sure to prove popular after his head second over this trip at Lingfield, but he does have to give 7lb to the filly, CATRAKE FORCE, who will make sure he doesn't get his own way on the front end. Second on her debut, she tried to make all at Chelmsford before weakening late on over two furlongs further, but may last home back in distance. Gold Aura is another to consider.

GOLD AURA was disappointing on first outing for this yard at Chelmsford earlier this month but she may have just needed the run so Jack Jones' filly is fancied to belatedly open her account at the expense of Leap Day, who bounced back to best making a belated handicap debut at Newcastle 3 weeks ago and would be a major threat with a repeat effort. On The Cards and Rocklyn can fight out third spot.

Rocklyn looks a likely improver but GOLD AURA is given another chance on her second run for new connections.

1	9 1st (9) (28/1 +15%) Good Morning Alex		28 28/1(+15%)																															(9) Good Morning Alex 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, modest fifth of 10 in nursery (25/1) at Newcastle (6f) 88 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Has the worst chance on bare figures upped in distance.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/2 +0%) Jazzy Angel		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(5) Jazzy Angel 9/2, Lightly-raced sort. Career best when winning 11-runner nursery (17/2) at this C&D 17 days ago by neck from Finn Ironside. Up 2 lb but she's well in the mix. Off the mark in similar event over C&D 17 days ago on handicap debut; warrants respect.
3	2 3rd (2) (2/1 +43%) Glistening Nights		2 2/1(+43%)																															(2) Glistening Nights 2/1, Good second of 8 in nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 18/5) 7 days ago. Very much one to consider. Ran well in higher grade at Wolverhampton last week; holds major claims off same mark.
4	4 4th (4) (10/3 +0%) Likeashadow		3.333333 10/3(+0%)																															(4) Likeashadow 10/3, Latest win at Newcastle in November. 9/4, unlucky fourth of 11 to Jazzy Angel in nursery at this C&D 17 days ago, short of room 1f out. Expected to be bang there off the same mark. Ties in closely with Jazzy Angel and Finn Ironside on C&D running last time; player.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/1 -80%) Green Sigma		6 6/1(-80%)																															(1) Green Sigma 6/1, 12/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable fourth of 12 in nursery at Lingfield (7f, AW) 23 days ago. Enters calculations. Has performed well in a couple of 7f handicaps since wearing cheekpieces; in the mix.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/1 +17%) Finn Ironside		5 5/1(+17%)																															(3) Finn Ironside 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good neck second of 11 to Jazzy Angel in nursery at this C&D (11/1) 17 days ago, running on. Can give another good account. Neck second to Jazzy Angel over C&D 17 days ago, showing improvement; fighting chance.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -32%) Indication Court		66 66/1(-32%)																															(8) Indication Court 66/1, Reluctant individual. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 11 in nursery at this course (6.1f, 50/1) 35 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Something to find on form. Has totally failed to build on debut effort; change of headgear.
8th	7 8th (7) (18/1 -80%) Polly The Rocket		18 18/1(-80%)																															(7) Polly The Rocket 18/1, Creditable third of 11 in nursery (11/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 34 days ago. One for the shortlist. Ties in with Green Sigma on Wolverhampton form last month; place possibilities.

LTO Selection:

---

Green Sigma (second) improved with cheekpieces applied in her last two starts and the daughter of Havana Gold could find another gear now she steps up in trip. However, POLLY THE ROCKET (third) is equally open to progression over this distance and, given she is 3lb better of with the rival based on their encounter at Wolverhampton, Craig Lidster's filly could offer some value in a tight race to call. Any support of the selection's stablemates Finn Ironside and Indication Court should also be taken seriously.

Plenty are in with a shout. LIKEASHADOW didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth to Jazzy Angel over C&D last time and can gain compensation off an unchanged mark. Harry Eustace's filly rates the main threat despite taking a 2 lb rise for that victory, with in-form pair Glistening Nights and Finn Ironside also in the picture.

Back down in trip/grade, GLISTENING NIGHTS gets the vote. Green Sigma is second choice.

Needs to find some improvement in order to emerge on top here. Conditions shouldn't faze him; running well in defeat of late; more needed to win though.
2	11 2nd (11) (10/3 -33%) Heathen		3.333333 10/3(-33%)																															(11) Heathen 10/3, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (12.1f. 9/4) on debut for new yard 17 days ago, easily. 6 lb rise fair enough and he's of strong interest, despite facing stronger competition this time. Easy C&D winner on this month's stable debut; back up 6lb in better race but still feared.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/2 +40%) Graphite		4.5 9/2(+40%)																															(6) Graphite 9/2, Creditable second of 7 in handicap (17/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 20 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Remains on a workable mark up 1 lb and this 9-y-o should have a part to play. Runner-up on his last two starts, both 1m4f AW handicaps; more needed to win here.
4	9 4th (9) (15/2 +53%) Postmark		7.5 15/2(+53%)																															(9) Postmark 15/2, Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, good third of 6 in handicap (22/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 15 days ago. Back up in trip and vulnerable from a win point of view. Latest 3rd wasn't a bad run but he'll need more if he is to defy the same mark today.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 -175%) Zealandia		11 11/1(-175%)																															(5) Zealandia 11/1, Latest win at Goodwood in August. 25/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 36 days ago. Unexposed on the AW and should make his presence felt. Steady progress for this yard; return to 1m4f should be fine but he'll need a career best.
6th	1 6th (1) (50/1 -79%) Aikhal		50 50/1(-79%)																															(1) Aikhal 50/1, Blinkered for 1st time, last of 13 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 40/1). Off 174 days (gelded in the interim) and moves back up in trip for this tapeta debut. Well treated judged on peak form for Aidan O'Brien but now has a fair bit to prove. Group 3 winner for former yard; two heavy defeats in midsummer; gelded since; risky.
7th	8 7th (8) (10/3 +52%) Educator		3.333333 10/3(+52%)																															(8) Educator 10/3, 3/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ascot (16f, good) 84 days ago, not ideally placed. Back down in trip for this tapeta debut on first start for the Michael Appleby yard. High on the shortlist. Winless for W Haggas in 2023 but retained ability; sold 52,000gns in Oct; no headgear here.
8th	3 8th (3) (13/2 -8%) Diamond Bay		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(3) Diamond Bay 13/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. 4/1, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (16.5f). Off 107 days and back down in trip. Probably a shade too high in the weights for now. Multiple AW winner; better than ever in September; one to take seriously.
9th	10 9th (10) (25/1 -56%) Furzig		25 25/1(-56%)																															(10) Furzig 25/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 13 days ago. Others make more appeal. Winless so far in 2023 and doesn't look in the form required to exploit his reduced mark.
10th	4 10th (4) (100/1 -733%) Galactic Jack		100 100/1(-733%)																															(4) Galactic Jack 100/1, Hooded for 1st time when last of 7 in juvenile hurdle (9/1) at Sandown (16f, heavy) on debut for new yard 21 days ago. Useful at his best in this sphere but well beaten on latest Flat start at Haydock in July. Useful for A Balding on the Flat; jumping an issue since hurdling; others look stronger.

LTO Selection:

---

Graphite (second) and Oneforthegutter (third) are hard to split based on their proximity to each other at Wolverhampton last month, while Educator starts out for Mick Appleby off just 2lb higher than his last winning mark and is dangerous to dismiss. However, GALACTIC JACK was quite highly tried on the Flat during his time with Andrew Balding and is of interest after a couple of spins over hurdles.

HEATHEN had lost his way for Ed Dunlop but got firmly back on track when easily seeing off his eight rivals on debut for David O'Meara here 17 days ago. On that evidence, he is likely to take both this 6 lb higher mark and the rise in class in his stride. Educator has also joined a stable adept at getting the best out of recruits from rival yards and he will be a big threat if taking to this surface (went close on polytrack on sole previous all-weather start). Zealandia is best of the rest.

Heathen won well on his stable debut but this looks tougher and he may have to give best to the progressive DIAMOND BAY.

1	1 1st (1) (5/4 +69%) Hiya Maite		1.25 5/4(+69%)																															(1) Hiya Maite 5/4, C&D winner. Successful twice this year, with his latest win at Beverley in June. Ran well after 8 weeks off when second of 13 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 17 days ago, collared only late on. Leading contender. Career best when just pipped in a stronger race here 17 days ago; another big run on cards.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 -60%) Strong Johnson		12 12/1(-60%)																															(3) Strong Johnson 12/1, Three wins from 18 runs this year, with latest success at Newcastle in November. Followed good run with a below-par one when sixth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 17 days ago. Not discounted back down in grade. Weakened behind Hiya Maite latest but he'll be a danger to all if matching recent AW best.
2	2 2nd (2) (22/1 -57%) Above		22 22/1(-57%)																															(2) Above 22/1, Returned to winning ways at Newmarket in August. However, not in the same form since, tenth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. Not kicked on from his winning stable debut in August; well behind Hiya Maite latest.
4	11 4th (11) (18/1 +18%) Honour Your Dreams		18 18/1(+18%)																															(11) Honour Your Dreams 18/1, Not in the same form as his previous outing when sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 14/1) 8 days ago, racing freely. Visor reapplied but others make more appeal as he goes back up in grade. Conditions could suit him well but he will need to raise his game a notch to win.
5th	8 5th (8) (7/1 -110%) Captain's Bar		7 7/1(-110%)																															(8) Captain's Bar 7/1, Better than ever when winning 11-runner handicap (8/1) at this C&D a week ago by neck from Rose King, staying on to lead close home. Not dismissed lightly under a penalty. Kept on well to win over C&D last week; more needed off effectively 6lb higher.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/2 +25%) Crimson Sand		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(4) Crimson Sand 9/2, Has returned to form on his last 2 starts, faring best of those held up when third of 13 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D 17 days ago. Can give another good account with cheekpieces back on. Stayed on from well back when 3rd here 17 days ago; change of headgear today.
7th	5 7th (5) (13/2 +54%) Simple Man		6.5 13/2(+54%)																															(5) Simple Man 13/2, Failed to come on for his recent run when fifth of 7 in handicap at Bath (5f, soft, 9/2) in October, merely passing beaten rivals. Needs to get back on track as he makes his tapeta debut. Unexposed 3yo; needs to bounce back from a couple of modest runs in the autum; AW debut.
8th	10 8th (10) (17/2 +6%) Stone Of Destiny		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(10) Stone Of Destiny 17/2, Ended long losing run at this C&D on his penultimate start. Shaped as if still in form when 2½ lengths fourth of 11 to Captain's Bar in handicap (13/2) at this C&D a week ago. Needs everything to drop right. C&D win two weeks ago and ran creditably here last week; fast early pace would suit.
9th	9 9th (9) (125/1 -150%) Zargun		125 125/1(-150%)																															(9) Zargun 125/1, Eighteen runs since his sole success back in 2021. Struggling for form, 7 lengths ninth of 11 to Captain's Bar in handicap (50/1) at this C&D a week ago. Has plenty to prove at present. Suspicion he'll find his level soon but his stable has more obvious candidates here.

LTO Selection:

---

HIYA MAITE (second) fared best of the bunch who clashed over this course and distance 17 days ago and is fancied to uphold that form with the reopposing Crimson Sand (third), Strong Johnson (sixth), Conquistador (eighth), Above (10th) and Zargun (12th). A high draw proved to be beneficial for the selection that day and from an even higher stalls position here, he can brush aside the 2lb rise. Captain's Bar is feared most carrying a 5lb penalty for his C&D success last week.

HIYA MAITE produced a good effort back on all-weather when runner-up at this C&D 17 days ago, headed only late on by an in-form rival, and he can go one better as he drops back down in grade. Heading the list of dangers is Rose King who resumed his progress when narrowly denied here last week, with Conquistador also considered.

This is a drop in grade for HIYA MAITE (nap) and Roy Bowring's speedy front-runner can take full advantage.

12	12 (12) (9/2 +18%) Water Of Leith		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(12) Water Of Leith 9/2, Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at this course (5f) 8 days ago. Carries penalty. Back up in trip. Expected to be bang there. Finally enjoyed a clear run and won decisively over 5f here last week; big player again.
1	7 1st (7) (7/2 +13%) Tyke		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(7) Tyke 7/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Good second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 8 days ago. Merits consideration. C&D record reads 112 with last week's 2nd a career best; 2lb well in; obvious contender.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/1 +39%) Nammos		11 11/1(+39%)																															(9) Nammos 11/1, Shaped as if retaining ability after 15-month absence (left Hugo Palmer/had wind op) when sixth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 16 days ago. Needs to step forward now. May be sharper for recent stable debut after long absence; this looks competitive though.
3	6 3rd (6) (40/1 -122%) Airshow		40 40/1(-122%)																															(6) Airshow 40/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Goodwood in June. Back on track when respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Bath (5.7f, soft) 88 days ago but possible he may need this on return from break. Three of his 12 career wins have come here; returns from a break off a fair mark; chance.
4	11 4th (11) (14/1 -155%) Wee Fat Mac		14 14/1(-155%)																															(11) Wee Fat Mac 14/1, 4 wins from 20 runs this year. 7/4, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. Not taken lightly in search of the hat-trick. Chasing a hat-trick after two ready Class 6 wins; up in class but can't ignore.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 +50%) Dark Side Thunder		4 4/1(+50%)																															(1) Dark Side Thunder 4/1, Three-time C&D winner. Six wins from 18 Flat runs. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 3/1) 16 days ago. Remains on career-high mark but shouldn't be discounted. 6-10 in AW h'caps and 3-4 over C&D; return to Class 5 in his favour; strong contender.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/1 -38%) Razzam		11 11/1(-38%)																															(4) Razzam 11/1, Winner at Yarmouth in August. 9/2, step back in right direction when third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 44 days ago. Frame claims. Conditions shouldn't faze him but a career best will be required to come out on top.
7th	2 7th (2) (28/1 -211%) Topo Chico		28 28/1(-211%)																															(2) Topo Chico 28/1, Latest win at Lingfield in August. 10/1, back on track when fifth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs to progress further to defy this mark. Promising return from a break at Kempton; sharper today and holds each-way claims.
8th	10 8th (10) (25/1 -127%) Jeans Maite		25 25/1(-127%)																															(10) Jeans Maite 25/1, Four-time course winner. Creditable close third behind Snash in 12-runner handicap (16/1) at this C&D 17 days ago. Place claims again. All wins at 5f but she went desperately close over C&D last time; should give it a good go.
9th	3 9th (3) (12/1 +25%) Beelzebub		12 12/1(+25%)																															(3) Beelzebub 12/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 78 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Adrian Wintle. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Makes stable debut having undergone wind surgery; tongue-tie added; on a winning mark.
10th	5 10th (5) (22/1 -83%) Magical Max		22 22/1(-83%)																															(5) Magical Max 22/1, Latest win at Newmarket in June. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 21 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Running well over 7f of late and return to 6f should be fine; one to be interested in.
11th	8 11th (8) (6/1 -9%) Snash		6 6/1(-9%)																															(8) Snash 6/1, Enhanced fine all-weather record to win 12-runner handicap at this C&D 17 days ago. Has to be considered again from only 1 lb higher mark. Good record on AW and did well to win over C&D latest; 1lb rise negligible; contender.

LTO Selection:

---

DARK SIDE THUNDER has been in decent form of late and a return to this track can only be a positive, having won three of his four previous starts over C&D. His most recent came in April off 5lb lower, and he is preferred to the likes of last-start C&D winner Snash and Wee Fat Mac, who arrives on a hat-trick. Others to note include Jeans Maite, Razzam and Tyke.

A strong-looking heat for the grade, with WEE FAT MAC fancied to maintain his rich vein of form from a mark 4 lb higher than when scoring under a penalty at Newcastle a fortnight ago. Water of Leith took advantage of a reduced mark when winning over 5f here last week and has to be respected under a penalty, with Tyke and Snash also shortlisted after good recent efforts here.

Magical Max and Dark Side Thunder are feared but WATER OF LEITH can defy a penalty for last week's 5f win here.

1	7 1st (7) (4/9 +23%) Rusheen Boy		0.444444 4/9(+23%)																															(7) Rusheen Boy 4/9, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1 and hooded for 1st time/tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 11-runner nursery at this C&D 7 days ago, comfortably. Difficult to oppose. Showed major improvement in C&D handicap last week, scoring easily; leading player.
2	12 2nd (12) (100/1 -150%) Nevzilla		100 100/1(-150%)																															(12) Nevzilla 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm). Off 135 days. Back up in trip. More required. Showed little on turf in the summer.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 +64%) Toptime		9 9/1(+64%)																															(5) Toptime 9/1, C&D winner. 7/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 84 days ago, doing too much too soon. Hard to fancy. Drop back to 6f is a positive; won over C&D in 2022.
4	6 4th (6) (20/1 -25%) Wrath Of Hector		20 20/1(-25%)																															(6) Wrath Of Hector 20/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f). Off 123 days. Has some respectable classified form this term; could go well.
5th	3 5th (3) (15/2 -15%) Smasher		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(3) Smasher 15/2, Modest gelding. 5/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 18 days ago. Should be on the premises again. In-form 3yo maiden; placed in handicaps the last twice; solid claims.
6th	1 6th (1) (20/1 -67%) Cloud Cuckoo		20 20/1(-67%)																															(1) Cloud Cuckoo 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm). Off 7 months. Makes tapeta debut. Others preferred. 0-4; return to best piece of form would put him in the picture.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -56%) Tantastic		25 25/1(-56%)																															(4) Tantastic 25/1, Modest gelding. Course winner. Bit below form fifth of 10 in minor event (9/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good). Off 177 days. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving John Wainwright. Worth a market check. Both wins at 5f; absent since July; debut for new stable.
8th	2 8th (2) (25/1 -25%) Elizabeth's Joy		25 25/1(-25%)																															(2) Elizabeth's Joy 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago. Others make more appeal. 0-4; never figured in C&D handicap (AW debut) most recently.
9th	8 9th (8) (8/1 -45%) Amroon		8 8/1(-45%)																															(8) Amroon 8/1, Modest colt. Winner at Chelmsford City in November. 4/1, below form sixth of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago. Not one to write off. 6f scorer on penultimate start; this 2yo colt looks one of the main players.
10th	9 10th (9) (200/1 -150%) Dash Power		200 200/1(-150%)																															(9) Dash Power 200/1, 125/1, 20½ lengths last of 11 to Rusheen Boy in nursery at this C&D 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. First-time headgear needs to make a difference.
11th	11 11th (11) (100/1 -300%) Nassau Bay		100 100/1(-300%)																															(11) Nassau Bay 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Chance depends on how well she responds to the headgear.

LTO Selection:

---

RUSHEEN BOY could not have done it any easier over C&D last week, on the back of a gelding operation, and he will prove extremely difficult to beat with a repeat performance. His form looks stronger than that of Smasher, who deserves a change of luck having placed on four of his last five outings. Chelmsford scorer Amroon and Cloud Cuckoo cannot be ruled out either.

RUSHEEN BOY had plenty to spare over C&D last time and looks well-in under a penalty taking on his elders for the first time, so he's an obvious choice. Smasher should be thereabouts once more and Amroon can't be dismissed.

Judged on his C&D performance last week, RUSHEEN BOY holds the best chance. Fellow 2yo Amroon is second choice.

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.
