William Haggas has won this twice since 2017 and although Next Of Kin was beaten four lengths at Newbury on her nursery debut, she ran out of racing room and should do better now. The unbeaten POLYXENA has won both her starts at Windsor by narrow margins, staying on strongly over 6f suggesting there is improvement to come over the added distance here, and she could land her hat-trick. Al Samsama might also get involved in the finish if she learns to settle after her solid Goodwood second.

8/15(+27%) | (2) Benown 8/15, Very promising runner-up beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden here only start; wide draw; sire top-class 6f to 8f, dam effective middle distances; down in trip, but open to plenty of improvement. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

300/1(-100%) | (8) Brageiro 300/1, Below debut form, faded closing stages down the field in a maiden at Naas most recent; bred for 6/7f; likely one for handicaps. |

CONTROLLA makes her first appearance in maiden company, having been campaigned in stakes races on all four starts to date. The Night Of Thunder filly was edged out by just a neck in a Group 3 on her debut and has faced stiff tasks since. With a mark of 96 she sets a high standard now. Benown ran a nice race on debut when chasing home Shakespeare here last month. That form was boosted when the third horse, stablemate Loughrea N Roll, won at Listowel on Tuesday and he looks like the obvious danger. Jungle Wise was also runner-up on his debut behind easy winner Marco Polo at Cork and is another for the shortlist.

5/1(+0%) | (3) Centigrade 5/1, Much below form stepped up in class well beaten in Fortune Stakes (Listed) at Sandown latest; in good form prior; wide draw; effective 8f, acts with plenty of cut, on good and AW; plenty of promise in novices, good chance back in calmer waters. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (22/1 -38%)Checkandchallenge |
22/1(-38%) | (8) Checkandchallenge 22/1, Below best again, never a danger beaten 9l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; wide draw; effective 8f, probably acts on any; on a lengthy losing streak and needs a lot more. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Although Centigrade was too free when finishing down the field in a Listed event at Sandown recently, a repeat of his previous sixth in a competitive heritage handicap at York would see him go close. Ralph Beckett's charge isn't taken lightly, while reopposing seventh Eternal Force isn't easily dismissed either, but ARCTIC THUNDER edges the vote. The five-year-old shaped better than the beaten distance when coming home in sixth on his latest outing at Ascot and a race of this nature looks within his compass.

100/1(-25%) | (4) Cracking Toast 100/1, Modest effort well beaten in a novice at Chester only start; bred for 6/7f; type to do better when handicapping. |

Although somewhat disappointing when only fourth on his most recent outing at Windsor, Bulletsnap may have suffered from racing up the centre. William Haggas' colt should be in the mix if replicating his earlier form, but SCENIC ROUTE rates as the most solid proposition. The son of Sioux Nation arrives on the back of a good third in class 2 company at York and this looks easier. Time To Play is the pick of the remainder.

7th (4) (33/1 +0%)Iwasjustsaying |
33/1(+0%) | (4) Iwasjustsaying 33/1, Keen and did a bit too much too soon in front under penalty when second beaten 1/2l in a novice at Leicester latest; effective 7f, acts on good to firm and good to soft; novice winner should stay this far but has a fair bit to find on the figures. |

Bow Echo won this last season but only time will tell if there is anything of that calibre here. Burning Up is unbeaten after two wins at Haydock and he looks the sort to keep on improving, though further rain would aid his cause. First Law battled on to win again at Haydock and may try to make all, but QUICKEN AWAY is preferred. He won a Goodwood maiden on his second start and could pounce late if he gets a good tow into the final furlong.

LEWIS CARROLL can follow up on his maiden win over course and distance in late March. He was value for a bit more than his winning margin on that occasion and the son of Siyouni appears likely to have plenty more to offer. Killashee Warrior ran a big race when third in a competitive event at the Irish Champions Festival and commands plenty of respect. Navan winner Chapel Lane is another that has to be considered.

9/4(+18%) | (5) Trilby 9/4, Scored by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Beverley three starts back; ran to the balance of form, better than the bare result sixth beaten 2l off 90 last time, 1lb lower here; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on any, but best with give; in very goof form, conditions will suit again here. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (12/1 -9%)Boston Dan |
12/1(-9%) | (11) Boston Dan 12/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here penultimate start; below form stepped up a couple of classes 16th beaten 10l off 85 last time, 3lb lower here; effective 5/6f, probably acts on any; well treated on old form, but not one to rely on. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (66/1 -32%)Jel Pepper |
66/1(-32%) | (6) Jel Pepper 66/1, Yard won this last year; well below form again down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; effective 6/7f, acts with cut and on good; plenty to prove dropping to the minimal distance. |

Having posted a respectable fifth in the Portland at Doncaster recently, last year's winner of this contest KING OF LIGHT could be ready to be crowned again. A 1lb ease in the ratings can only help the four-year-old and any cut in the ground won't inconvenience him either. Ancient State landed the spoils at Doncaster the following day and he's feared most, ahead of Ayr Silver Cup sixth Trilby.

Although thwarted in her hat-trick bid when fourth at Kempton earlier this month, FOREST BERRY still looks capable of better. The Waldgeist filly had to make her effort earlier than ideal and this small-field affair may see her in a better light. Nursery debutant Palace Legacy is heading in the right direction judged on his latest second at Leicester and he's feared most, ahead of Aphra Behn.

Five of the six runners won on their latest start with Sun Goddess making it four in a row when taking the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh by over six lengths. She is improving race on race and is clearly a class act, but she was a length behind LIBERTANGO in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot in June and George Boughey's filly may be the better suited to 6f. Senorita Bonita and Moonrise are also on the upgrade and could well get involved.

|F| (6) (11/8 +0%)No More Teardrops |
11/8(+0%) | (6) No More Teardrops 11/8, Yard won this last year; very promising debut showing willing attitude when a neck winner in an Amateurs' bumper at Southwell on debut; effective 2m, acts on good; form of bumper win nothing special but more to come over hurdles. |

Jamie Snowden won this with a previous bumper winner last year, so No More Teardrops should be noted having won at Southwell in April. Point-to-point fourth Poets Pearl hails from a family of jumps winners and is another worth monitoring on debut under Rules, but ELATED gets another chance. Beaten a neck when odds-on at Worcester last time, she finished clear of the rest and Ben Pauling's mare is taken to make amends.

CARDIFF BY THE SEA looks on a nice weight here with Julian Pietropaolo taking 7lb off her back. The St Mark's Basilica filly has run with credit in stakes company this year and the handicapper looks to have given her a chance by dropping her from an original rating of 97 down to 83 now. Red Evolution ran a big race when chasing home Coul Angel in the Bold Lad here 13 days ago. Reese Holohan takes 7lb off his back now and he could be a big player. Keke was well beaten in the aforementioned contest but is a dual course and distance winner and has dropped to a competitive mark. He is tried in cheekpieces now.

There was plenty of encouragement to be gleaned from KAGUYAHIME's opening third at Ascot and she makes grand appealing easing in class. Roger Varian's filly stayed on nicely from the rear and she should take all the beating. 145,000gns newcomer Hotterthanjuly is a potential fly in the ointment and sustained market support would be interesting, while My Girl Dee Mo is the pick of the remainder with race experience.

A three-time winner on the Flat, TRUBSHAW has the potential to make up into a smart horse over hurdles. The Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding was an impressive scorer on the level at Killarney last month, before subsequently running well off a higher mark at Down Royal, and the front runner could prove ideally suited to this tight track. Kilbeggan runner-up Blue Johnl brings the best recent form over flights into the contest, while point-to-point second Local Resident is not ruled out in a race where few hold solid claims.

5th (3) (9/2 +44%)Equity Law |
9/2(+44%) | (3) Equity Law 9/2, Bit below best but with excuses when eighth beaten 5l off 81 last time, 1lb lower here; top course jockey/trainer combination; suited by 5f, best on sound surface; needs more off current mark. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (10/1 10/1)Mark's Choice |

28/1(-75%) | (14) Canaria Queen 28/1, Below form when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Redcar latest; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good to firm; needs more than of late. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (1) (5/1 +9%)Tiva |
5/1(+9%) | (1) Tiva 5/1, Ran to best, hit the line well landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; effective 5f, acts on a sound surface; in form, chance once again. |

Having scored on two of her last three outings, TIVA is progressing nicely. The four-year-old is only 3lb higher than her latest victory at Doncaster and, as a previous C&D winner, she'll have no issue returning to this venue. Our Absent Friends arrives on the back of two creditable efforts in defeat and he's forecast to be in the thick of the action once more, along with Rock Of England.

1st (6) (7/2 -17%)Orthodox |
7/2(-17%) | (6) Orthodox 7/2, Didn't find much up in trip, may have found ground too soft beaten 6 1/2l in Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville last time; in good form prior; effective 5f, may stay 6f, acts on good and fast ground; nice type, possibly flattered Norfolk but worth believing for now, could bounce back on quicker ground. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

28/1(+44%) | (2) Force Noir 28/1, Improved down in class overcoming slow start when winning a 2yo race at Dundalk by 2 1/2l last time; gets 5f well, should get 7f in time, acts on heavy and, good; good attitude, progressing but plenty to prove at Group level. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5th (4) (6/4 -20%)Inner City Blues |
6/4(-20%) | (4) Inner City Blues 6/4, Yard has won last two runnings of race; quickened best to win readily when winning July Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket (July) by 1 1/4l last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; off a short-break; effective 6f, bred to sprint, acts on a sound surface; big, strong, attractive colt, top-class sprint prospect ought to go close. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (9/2 +18%)Marco Polo |
9/2(+18%) | (5) Marco Polo 9/2, Back to debut level, scored with plenty in hand when winning a maiden at Cork by 5 1/2l last time; effective 6f acts on sound surface; capable of better for top connections, good chance back up in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (25/1 -39%)Confucius |
25/1(-39%) | (1) Confucius 25/1, Yard has won 3 of last 10 runnings of race; didn't quite get home after looking a threat a furlong out when 4 1/4l third in Railway Stakes (Group 2) at The Curragh most recent run; blinkers first time; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and fast ground; consistent but a shade disappointing as a beaten favourite on last few starts. |

PUSH THE BOAT OUT heads the shortlist after he gamely won the Group 3 Round Tower Stakes at the Curragh. Bearing in mind the runner-up in that race won the Coventry at Royal Ascot, Michael O'Callaghan's unbeaten colt has solid credentials, despite stepping up in grade. Inner City Blues also boasts an unblemished record and must be feared with his yard chasing a third consecutive winner in this race. He cosily held his two rivals when winning the July Stakes at Newmarket. His winning form over 6f makes him more of a danger than the Norfolk Stakes winner, Orthodox, who was well beaten on his first try over this trip in the Prix Morny at Deauville last month.

125/1(+17%) | (7) Two Steppin 125/1, Poet's Word filly; dam placed over 2 1/2m on hurdle debut; stable quiet just now, best watched. |

A dual winner on the level, MOMENT OF LIGHT made a winning hurdling/stable debut at Newton Abbot earlier in the month. Dan Skelton's new inmate could afford to idle in the closing stages and still return the cosy winner, so a 6lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Vietnorm had shown ability before blotting his copybook when running out at Cartmel last time, while hurdling debutant Pass The Buck is one to note.

10/11(-9%) | (3) Noble Exhibit 10/11, Built on promising debut stepped up in trip when winning a maiden at Punchestown by 7l last time; effective 8f, will get further, acts on good; can follow up stepped up in grade for top yard. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (9/2 -13%)City Of Dubai |

5th (5) (28/1 -75%)Tommy Quick |
28/1(-75%) | (5) Tommy Quick 28/1, Modest, didn't fully see out trip beaten 3 1/2l in a maiden here on debut; uS-bred, sire smart over middle distances; represents very good yard, but major improvement needed at this grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (20/1 -25%)Venetian Power |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Venetian Power 20/1, Ran roughly to form up in grade beaten 4l in Churchill Stakes (Listed) at Gowran Park last time; off a short-break; effective 8f, acts on a sound surface; form of maiden victory boosted, but needs more at this level. |

NOBLE EXHIBIT was very impressive when taking his maiden at Punchestown 11 days ago and can step up in stakes company now. It looked like a competitive enough race then but he pulled away in some style to score by seven lengths. The form of his debut third behind Monogram has worked out well and he could be very smart. Stablemate Shakespeare won his maiden here last month but was well held in Group 1 company at Leopardstown a fortnight ago. He could be a danger dropping in grade. City Of Dubai wasn't disgraced when fifth in the Futurity Stakes but probably needs to step up on that effort now. His yard has been in better form recently.

7th (2) (22/1 -193%)Golden Long |
22/1(-193%) | (2) Golden Long 22/1, Lot to do, improved again landing a handicap by a short-head off a 6lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; usually held up; effective at 5/6f, may need a sound surface; firmly on the up, new mark still okay, chance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (4/1 +38%)Art Lover |
4/1(+38%) | (11) Art Lover 4/1, Yard won this last year; ran to the balance of form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Yarmouth last time; cheekpieces first time; top course trainer; effective 6f, acts on a sound surface and AW; very consistent in career, should remain competitive. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (25/1 +0%)Zain Primus |
25/1(+0%) | (7) Zain Primus 25/1, Much below form on handicap/turf debut down the field in a handicap at York most recent; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; looks to have opened on a stiff mark after novice victories. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (12/1 -9%)Miraculous |
12/1(-9%) | (10) Miraculous 12/1, Returned to form, back to winning ways landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 9lb lower mark at Chester last time; effective 6f, acts with cut, on good and AW; can go well again despite tougher mark and up in class. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (15/2 +17%)So Darn Hot |
15/2(+17%) | (1) So Darn Hot 15/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at Salisbury last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; below last winning mark, chance here. |

Several of these have been in good form and, with the likes of the hat-trick seeking Golden Long, Miraculous and Angel Gabriel all thriving, pinpointing the one who will shine the brightest isn't easy. However, STORM FORCE has bags of scope after impressing by winning a maiden at Southwell and following up emphatically under a penalty in novice company at Lingfield. Reverting to turf for his handicap debut is a natural step and the son of Starspangledbanner gets the vote based on potential.

4/1(-14%) | (2) Dad Sez 4/1, Yard won this last year; went clear with ease, improved up in trip when winning a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan by 17l last time; effective 2m6f-3m, acts on good; looks useful, more to come as a stayer but big player if getting stiff test down in trip. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5/1(5/1) | (4) Rosie's Wings 5/1, Ran to form, out-battled late when 3 1/2l third in a novice hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent run; effective 2m, acts on good; progressing, bit more to come if ridden more positively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

25/1(-79%) | (5) Goeasyonme 25/1, Travelled, out-battled late by more experienced rival having looked winner, improved when second beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2m, acts on yielding to soft and good; should useful form first time, can find a race soon but this a big ask. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (12/1 -50%)Clay Pigeons |
12/1(-50%) | (1) Clay Pigeons 12/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; didn't stay 3m when fourth in a Conditions Hurdle at Down Royal latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on good to soft; progressive until latest, may need this drop in class and trip. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

150/1(+0%) | (6) I Can Find Em 150/1, Never competitive having been badly hampered by faller when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recent; effective 3m; placed in points, may need more time under rules and looks out of depth here. |

ROC DINO may well provide trainer Willie Mullins with another festival winner. Relatively lightly raced, the five-year-old opened his account in emphatic fashion at Downpatrick on his penultimate start. He followed that with solid second at Galway and the son of Doctor Dino is taken to resume winning ways. Stable companion Clay Pigeons landed maiden hurdle at Roscommon last month and could prove the main threat, although Dad Sez scored at Kilbeggan recently and has the potential for improvement after just three starts.

EYE OF DUBAI was fitted with blinkers for the first time at Ayr last week and resumed winning ways in the Bronze Cup. The son of Havana Grey bids to win this for the third time in succession and, competing off the same mark as last year, another bold bid looks in the offing. Dark Thirty faces an easier task than of late and is one to take seriously, while the recent Windsor third Indian Run may well reverse running on better terms with the winner Trefor.

John & Thady Gosden certainly know how to prepare one to win this race this and GAVRIEL, who is 2lb well in under a penalty for a ready success at Ascot three weeks ago, is a highly appealing contender for the yard. Gosden senior first won this in 1994 with Halling, who was a shade more experienced but there are similarities in that this son of Frankel is on an upwards curve and should have no issues with the trip. Erzindjan won a heritage handicap on the Rowley Mile in May and a repeat of that level would see him go close, while the long list of alternatives is spearheaded by Indalo, Crest of Fire and Bourbon Blues.

5th (4) (9/1 +18%)City House |
9/1(+18%) | (4) City House 9/1, Bit below best down in class, no match for easy winner when second beaten 7l in the Conditions Race at Gowran Park latest; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; mark easing, but needs a bit more to end losing run back up in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

RAHMI has been running in some very hot handicaps and may appreciate a slightly easier task now. The Pivotal gelding has dropped 10lb since running well to finish second in a conditions race at Gowran Park last month and looks on a nice mark now. Leopardstown maiden winner Uncle Goalie is open to further improvement and looks on a fair mark off 79 for his handicap debut. He does face more battled hardened performers now though. City House ran well when chasing home easy winner Greydreambeliever at Gowran a week ago and is another to consider.

FRINGILL DIKE was in fine form at this venue during the summer. He scored over C&D in June and was narrowly beaten when runner-up back here last time. Jedd O'Keeffe's chaser can race off an unchanged mark and looks worth sticking with. Sure Touch will be sharper for his recent comeback. He won over track and trip last autumn and can confirm superiority over the runner-up that day Nickelforce, while Jet To Vegas has struggled for form so far this year.

The locally trained ELUSIVE OGIE hasn't enjoyed the best of luck this term, but he returned to something like his best when scoring at Bellewstown last month and is taken to follow up. Third in the Listed Lartigue Hurdle at last year's festival, the son of Elusive Pimpernel is only 3lb higher in this less competitive affair and a bold bid is anticipated. Sageborough is not discounted judged on his Wexford success back in May, while Cork maiden winner and handicap debutant Livio also merits respect.

11/2(-65%) | (1) Camarda Rc 11/2, Ran to debut form up in class and trip when second beaten 3 1/4l in a novice at Windsor latest; effective 7/8f, acts on good to firm; promising type, more to come back down in distance on handicap debut. |

KODIAK BREEZE faced a much stiffer test in the Harry's Half Million at York and is a much more attractive proposition back in calmer waters. The winner of his two starts prior to the class 2 event, the Kevin Ryan-trained gelding can bounce back to make a winning nursery debut, provided he handles the forecast going. Mind Those Steps has something to find with the selection based on that Knavesmire race. However, her third at Hamilton was an improvement and she looks another key player. Camarda Rc and Trumpety Trump complete the shortlist.

GOOD KARMA has gone close in tougher handicaps on his last couple of outings. He finished a solid third back over 6f at Pontefract last week and returns to this lower level with solid claims. Showtime Mahomes posted a better effort at Catterick last time and that points to big run here, while although Big Apple Jack finally opened his account with a victory at Hamilton, Triple P has more scope and thus makes more appeal.

9th (1) (9/1 -38%)Protest Rally |
9/1(-38%) | (1) Protest Rally 9/1, Not best of runs, should have finished closer beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Catterick last time; effective 5f; 5lb below last win mark, chance if building on latest. |

LET'S GO HUGO arrives at the top of his game with three wins from his last four starts and although upped another 3lb for a neck success at Lingfield, he may have one more win in him. Mick Appleby will be looking for a big run from Southwell second Mimime from the bottom of the handicap with Harry Vigors' 5lb claim a bonus. She could get the better of the dropped in class Protest Rally for second spot.

It's very possible that the benefit of experience will help Ozone Friendly go one better than her debut second at Lingfield. However, this is an intriguing maiden and some of the newcomers could be well placed to have a big impact. QUEEN OF THE GULF, who cost 265,000gns as a yearling and is related to a handful of winners, is suggested as the first one to consider, although betting market support for Roger Varian's stable companions Out Late and Miss Jane Hadley would be noteworthy. Via Star is another well-bred debutant to keep an eye on.

18th (20) (150/1 -355%)Roeillaun |
150/1(-355%) | (20) Roeillaun 150/1, Improved, opened account at a relatively low level when winning an auction race at Navan by 1 1/2l last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; needs a lot more up in trip and grade. |

TREAN ran well for a long way in Group 1 company last time and can land this big pot. The Bayside Boy colt was an impressive Galway maiden winner before hitting the frame in the Acomb at York. He then travelled strongly over C&D in the National Stakes before giving way in the closing stages, so looks certain to go close here. Carry The Flag is the highest rated of these with a mark of 110, but going up to 7f is a question mark. Green Dreamer drops in trip after finishing a well-held fifth in the Group 1 Golden Fleece Stakes. He had been a fine third in the Futurity Stakes here previously though and commands respect.

100/1(-25%) | (9) Fast Deal 100/1, Continued in poor form when down the field in a handicap chase at Cartmel most recent; effective 2 1/2m, suited by good; regressive. |

GALWAY REEL makes plenty of appeal in here having won it last year. A versatile performer representing a top yard (first run for Olly Murphy), he showed a lot more when reverting to fences here in July and Sean Bowen keeps the ride which is another big positive. Of the others, keep a close eye on Huckleberry Sting and Ribeye.

14/1(+22%) | (21) Barryroe Madam 14/1, Too much to do off steady pace, returned to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Galway last time; wants 3m, suited by decent ground; inconsistent, poor strike rate. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (12/1 -20%)Oogum Boogum |

|PU| (14) (80/1 -60%)Doesthatmakesense |
80/1(-60%) | (14) Doesthatmakesense 80/1, Continued in poor form when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe most recent; blinkers first time; dam a Listed hurdles winner at 2m; hard to fancy on what she's shown so far. |

Despite being an infrequent winner, TROPICAL IMAGE can follow up her success at last year's festival. Lightly raced over hurdles in the interim, the Eoin McCarthy-trained mare showed signs of a return to form when third over fences at Killarney last month. While her tendency to find a couple too good is an obvious concern, this meeting is likely to have been the plan for some time. An easy victor at Limerick on his most recent start over hurdles, Opposite Ends ran well on his return to fences last time. Almost certainly open to more improvement, the son of Mahler has to be respected. Liberated Light is another with decent claims despite having the burden of topweight.

1st (2) (7/1 -27%)Game Character |
7/1(-27%) | (2) Game Character 7/1, Confirmed debut level, but market expected better 4l third in a maiden at Doncaster most recent run; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and good; promise in first two starts, open to further improvement. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

22/1(+12%) | (1) Dancing Dunes 22/1, Minor improvement from debut effort stepped up in trip beaten 8 1/4l in a novice here last time; bred for middle distances; still in need of major progress, probably needs another step up in distance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

9/4(-29%) | (4) Impasto 9/4, Seemed to know job, ran to decent level runner-up beaten 3l in a maiden at Ascot only start; effective 7f on good; from top yard and holds Group 1 entry, should improve for 8f here. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Royal Acclamation is improving, finishing third at Lingfield and a length second at Goodwood on soft ground to Quicken Away, and the homebred Zarak colt should be a force to reckon with again. However, the winner that day was trained by Andrew Balding who sends IMPASTO here knowing exactly what is needed. Second at Ascot when looking as if the experience would do him good, the son of Palace Pier might go one better now. Hands To Yourself and Game Character are others for the shortlist.

Recent Catterick winner Kings Merchant merits consideration raised only 2lb. He's preferred to Valentine Catcher, who placed yet again when third at Leicester last time, but it could pay to stick with HURSTWOOD. Peter Niven's charge arrives off the back of a double at Redcar, having made all on both occasions, and he could take some pegging back if allowed his own way in front once again.

9th (7) (100/1 -257%)Ghazalia |
100/1(-257%) | (7) Ghazalia 100/1, Similar level to debut beaten 9l in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6f on good and AW; drop to 5f might suit. |

ROMOTOSO appears the likeliest winner here after William Knight's Lope Y Fernandez filly finished third at Doncaster before a pair of seconds at Lingfield and Windsor, the latest when a half-length behind the unbeaten Polyxena. That form stands out here and she could prove too good for Inglewood, who has placed on her last three starts with last month's Lingfield second the best of those efforts. Ghazalia is all speed and she could surprise a few of these returning to the minimum trip.

8th (7) (33/1 -18%)Aqpan |
33/1(-18%) | (7) Aqpan 33/1, Helped set it up for closers beaten 7l in a handicap at Chester last time; hood first time; trainer in form; effective 7f, acts on good and AW; thick set colt, hinted at better last twice, but needs a bit more. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

12th (10) (80/1 -21%)Utmost Good Faith |
80/1(-21%) | (10) Utmost Good Faith 80/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Epsom in July; made too much use of last time; suited by 7/8f, acts on good and AW; more needed at this level and mark might be stiff. |

ADDISON GREY is unexposed over 7f and, having gone well over this trip the last twice, the consistent four-year-old could be tough to deal with here. The hat-trick seeking pair Huscal and Dapper Guest are dangerous to underestimate and are capable of being on the premises. However, Sword Maker is a progressive three-year-old with an attractive profile and it's noteworthy that his connections have earmarked this for the son of Pinatubo's return from a break.

ALMAZANN may be worth another shot here despite a disappointing effort at Roscommon last time. He was beaten at a short price then and was reported to have hung in the home straight. The Zarak colt had finished runner-up on his previous three outings, though, and the application of first-time cheekpieces may elicit the required improvement. Leopold The First has taken the silver medal home on five occasions and looks the obvious danger. Money for the Ballydoyle newcomer Come What May, a full-brother to the ill-fated Derby winner Desert Crown, would be noteworthy.

Connections of Woodstock City will be hoping for a big run debuting for the Olly Murphy stable and he's really interesting going back over hurdles making his handicap debut in this sphere. The market should tell us more, but BUXTED REEL won well at Newton Abbot and looks the safer play. Timely Salute is another expected to be thereabouts at the business end.

Successful in the corresponding race 12 months ago, EL CHAMPO can make it back-to-back wins. Having failed to add to that victory in seven subsequent starts, the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding now finds himself back on the same mark as last year. There were definite signs of a revival on his most recent start at Punchestown in June and this is sure to have been a long term target. Beaten less than a length in this race last year, Talk In The Park is another that will have had it on his radar for some time. First-time blinkers could see the eight-year-old reignited. Killarney third West Away steps up in trip now but has to be a contender if staying.

3/1(-9%) | (1) Alther Walden 3/1, Pulled up when stepped up to 2m in a handicap at Musselburgh latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 12f, acts on sound surface; can bounce back down in trip slightly. |

Soul Limbo has two wins to his name, one over hurdles and the other at Bath, and although off the track since last October, he seems well handicapped off a mark of 74. Sharp Move shaped as though further would bring about improvement when finishing in midfield here over 1m2f at the start of the month. The four-year-old could prove to be the biggest danger to ALTHER WALDEN. A comfortable winner at Newcastle in March he was pulled up at Musselburgh, but tries a tongue-tie here which may see him back to his best.

Koala Rose and Walking On Stars are closely matched on official ratings, although the latter has done all of her racing on the all-weather so far. Both can be involved and so might Neswick, but WADACRE ICON is preferred. Charlie Johnston's gelding was unfancied on his debut at Carlisle, and that lack of market support was telling in the early stages after he missed the break and was anchored in rear. However, the son of Nathaniel picked up well to chase home an impressive winner late on and he should be more streetwise this time.

ELYAM was supported in the market ahead of his winning return over course and distance despite an absence of over two years. As long as he doesn't "bounce" on this second outing, he may well improve more than his 9lb rise in the weights. Spring Is Sprung has won here twice and was only beaten a short neck when third at Redcar last month giving him every chance, while Ziggy's Triton is perfectly capable on his day and could run into a place off this mark.

The regally-bred TOGETHER NOW has been off the track for almost a year but may be able to make a winning return. The full-sister to City Of Troy made a very promising debut here last October when chasing home stablemate Cameo. That filly won the Lingfield Oaks Trial earlier this season, while back in fourth that day was subsequent Oaks heroine Thundering On. There are plenty in this with solid placed form, including stable companion Camelot Queen. She hasn't been beaten far the last twice and it's interesting that Wayne Lordan keeps the partnership intact. Sangreal has hit the frame on each of her three racecourse appearances and could be on the premises again.

A Stratford mishap aside, EDELAK has been in excellent form all year, winning five of his last six starts. He would have won at Stratford too if not for tipping up three out, and another bold showing looks assured for champion trainer Dan Skelton. Un Sens A La Vie was deemed good enough for the William Hill Hurdle at Newbury and performed well for fourth. He knows his way around here and is noted along with Indemnity.

Narrowly denied at Galway earlier this month, JUSTATAN can go one better. A dual point-to-point winner, the Emmet Mullins-trained gelding ran his best race to date under Rules last time on his chasing debut. Stepping up in trip here should see the seven-year-old register a first victory on his track debut while Barry Stone looks a significant booking, and the hint should be taken. A consistent sort in recent runs, Illtakehimmyself shouldn't be far away. Trainer Eric McNamara loves to have winners at this festival and the Jet Away gelding holds strong claims. Lightly raced over fences, Toor Khov is also worthy of serious consideration with leading amateur John Gleeson in the saddle.

A busy period might have caught up with Zimmerman, who was ultimately well held when bidding for a four-timer at Chester. He does still merit respect as the sole C&D winner in this field, but TARBAT NESS is preferred. John Berry won the corresponding event in 2024 and his representative pushed a short-priced favourite all the way at Newcastle latest. Although yet to defy a mark this high, it might be that a similar level of performance will suffice. Talismans Time heads the remainder.

HYPNOTISED has done enough on his last three turf starts at Sandown, Newbury and Doncaster to suggest he's well up to winning a handicap like this. The switch to the all-weather should also suit on the evidence of his breakthrough C&D success last September. Harry Charlton's inmate gets a confident vote ahead of distance winner Kylian and Right And Exact.

8th (10) (300/1 -275%)Destination Unkown |
300/1(-275%) | (10) Destination Unkown 300/1, May not have stayed when down the field in a novice hurdle at Cartmel most recent; effective 12f; showed nothing on Flat or so far over hurdles, all to prove. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A tricky handicap hurdle finale for punters to solve and just a tentative vote is for TRAVELING SOLDIER, who is 1-3 (win over fences) at this track. Olly Murphy's charge is yet to score over hurdles but is 2lb lower than when scoring over the larger obstacles here last summer and his recent form is encouraging. Matoury and The Clonmel Kid are others to bear in mind.

GREEN STYLE can land the festival finale for Willie and Patrick Mullins. An impressive scorer on his stable debut at Cork last month, the five-year-old sets a decent standard in a race of this nature. With the unpenalised newcomers coming from yards not traditionally associated with bumper winners, it will be a surprise if one of the previous winners doesn't land the spoils, so Iron Sword could give the selection most to do. Trainer Andy Slattery does particularly well with his small string of bumper horses and the son of For Fun did it nicely at Ballinrobe last time. Game Shadow, who scored at Perth on his first start for John McConnell, also merits respect.

14/1(-40%) | (4) Bondi 14/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a handicap here latest; suited by 12f and fast ground; 3lb below last winning mark, not ruled out. |

The penny has dropped for MADJID of late as he's completely turned his form around and won two of his last three starts. One of those triumphs was an impressive one on the all-weather at Kempton and he remains open to more improvement over this trip. Patrol knows his way around here and cannot be overlooked, while Roker Roar is also noteworthy.

PYRAMID will likely be all the rage in this maiden and could take some stopping if he shows natural progression for an encouraging debut second at Wolverhampton in July. He has been given time to recover and improve and we'll likely see a more polished performance this time. Kashooda has had a couple of starts and is a big player on form, while the two newcomers Defiant Star and Pepperazzi are also interesting.

Having boosted her record with another victory at this venue recently, GLADIADORA must rank high on any shortlist. The five-year-old is unbeaten here in two outings and a 4lb rise for her latest triumph looks workable. R P Mcmurphy regained the winning thread at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and a 5lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold showing, while fellow in-form rival Special Breeze catches the eye on her stable bow.

Having opened his account in a selling handicap at Wolverhampton recently, a 1lb nudge up in the ratings shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid from Justice Court. The three-year-old isn't taken lightly, but it remains to be seen how strong that form is, with PACKETOFBISCUITS edging the vote. John Mackie's gelding returned to form with a close-up second at Yarmouth nine days ago and he ticks plenty of the right boxes as a dual C&D winner. Thirsk winner Forest Caper and Mystical Storm are feasible alternatives.

COME ON OVER has been knocking on the door of late and could be worth persevering with. A runner-up on his last three outings, the three-year-old is only 1lb higher than when narrowly denied at Wolverhampton eight days ago and compensation may beckon. Ormolulu arrives on the back of a never-nearer second at Newcastle and she's sure to prove popular in the market too, while the downgraded Kats Bob makes each-way appeal at the forecast prices.

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.
