1st (3) (8/11 +42%) Mint Man |
8/11(+42%) | (3) Mint Man 8/11, Fairly useful gelding who returned to best form when close third of 10 in handicap over C&D 5 days ago. Leading player. Second in five of his 15 races, overall profile is concerning but holds an obvious chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/4 +18%) Crystal Luna |
9/4(+18%) | (5) Crystal Luna 9/4, Fair filly who shaped as if still in good form when eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f) 7 days ago, left with lot to do. Blinkers back on. Enters calculations. In front of Mint Man when third over C&D three starts ago, recent form less encouraging. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7/1 +13%) Abiding Star |
7/1(+13%) | (4) Abiding Star 7/1, Fair filly. Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Cork (5f, good to firm). Off 117 days. Not out of things. Has run well in maidens including at this venue, poor handicap form raises doubts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/1 -13%) Magic Force |
9/1(-13%) | (2) Magic Force 9/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Below best at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) when last seen in August but had posted fair fifth over this trip at Tipperary previously and warrants respect on polytrack debut. Best of his three Irish when fifth in a 5f handicap at Tipperary in August, extra needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (40/1 -567%) Happy Henry |
40/1(-567%) | (1) Happy Henry 40/1, Twice-raced gelding. Seventh of 14 in maiden (40/1) at this course (8f) 28 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly down in trip. Others preferred. Has started slowly in races over 6f and 1m at this venue, this trip is hardly ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (150/1 -500%) Fox Island |
150/1(-500%) | (6) Fox Island 150/1, Lightly-raced filly. 33/1 and hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Lisa Williamson when seventh of 10 in maiden at this course (6f) 21 days ago. Work to do. Did not look straightforward over 6f here on last month's Irish debut, others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (66/1 -136%) Soar Beyond |
66/1(-136%) | (7) Soar Beyond 66/1, Lightly-raced filly. 150/1, last of 12 in maiden at Cork (5f, good). Off 180 days. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkered for 1st time. Improvement required. From a leading stable but nothing to suggest she can feature, first time with blinkers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MINT MAN has been placed here on a number of occasions and appears to have found a good opportunity to open his account. The Pat Murphy-trained gelding went close in a 6f maiden this autumn and didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when again narrowly denied in a handicap over C&D last Friday. The selection put in a below par effort here on his penultimate start when finishing behind Crystal Luna but, on the balance of form, should come out on top. Magic Force filled the runner-up spot twice over this trip as a juvenile and tries this surface for the first time.
MINT MAN bounced back to his best here last week and looks the one to beat in the opener. Crystal Luna and Magic Force can also make their presence felt.
This could provide five-time runner-up MINT MAN with an overdue success. A reproduction of last week's handicap third might suffice.

1st (3) (11/1 +56%) Chicago Storm |
11/1(+56%) | (3) Chicago Storm 11/1, Fair gelding. Below-form fifteenth of 23 in handicap hurdle (80/1) at Navan (16f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Colin Keane booked but has something to find on these terms. Had been in poor form on the Flat before recent low-key hurdle effort and huge task here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (10/3 +58%) Rhythm And Tyne |
10/3(+58%) | (8) Rhythm And Tyne 10/3, Has struggled this year (mainly over hurdles) but won on his last 2 visits here at the end of 2023. Market support would look significant. Dual course winner last winter; arrives in poor form; needs revival for return to AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/4 +68%) Autocrat |
7/4(+68%) | (2) Autocrat 7/4, Fair gelding. 4-time course winner. Won 11-runner handicap (16/1) at this course (10.7f) 19 days ago, responding well. Best run for a while when winning here last month and step back up in trip fine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (6/1 +40%) Rockview Consort |
6/1(+40%) | (1) Rockview Consort 6/1, Fair mare. Course winner. 20/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Best recent run when 3rd in h'cap over C&D last month; tough ask off top weight. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (15/2 -88%) God Of Thunder |
15/2(-88%) | (4) God Of Thunder 15/2, Fairly useful gelding. 25/1, last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW). Off 97 days. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can make presence felt. Tailed off at Lingfield when last seen; player on best form though; bought for 14,000gns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (100/1 -203%) Darkened |
100/1(-203%) | (11) Darkened 100/1, Fair gelding. Course winner. 18/1, last of 13 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 28 days ago, slowly away. Course winner; struggling lately and failed to beat a rival here when last seen; tough ask. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (8/1 +33%) A Daughtersdelight |
8/1(+33%) | (14) A Daughtersdelight 8/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 20/1, good third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 5 days ago. 0-16; ran cracker over C&D when 3rd on Friday; e/w chance if she builds on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (16/1 +11%) Imadpour |
16/1(+11%) | (12) Imadpour 16/1, Fair gelding. 16/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) 105 days ago. Off 105 days. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Won Cork maiden in 2022; shown very little recently; cheekpieces on for Flat return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (150/1 -88%) Tasmanian Girl |
150/1(-88%) | (9) Tasmanian Girl 150/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 50/1, twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.2f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Poor on last Flat outing. 0-28; tailed off over timber latest and her Flat form is poor; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (40/1 -150%) Infatuator |
40/1(-150%) | (10) Infatuator 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 200/1, pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 18 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers on 1st time. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Plenty of promise in 3 runs for Archie Watson but shown nothing since; blinkers on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (25/1 0%) There's No Limit |
25/1(0%) | (6) There's No Limit 25/1, Fair gelding. 6/1, fifth of 8 in juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time on the Flat. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Tailed off on first try at 1m4f at Galway; poor hurdle form since; needs big career best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (150/1 -88%) Carrickfinn |
150/1(-88%) | (5) Carrickfinn 150/1, Poor gelding. 66/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 82 days ago. Plenty to find on form. 10-race maiden and shown nothing in two runs for this yard; hard to make a case for. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (7) (9/1 -170%) Away He Goes |
9/1(-170%) | (7) Away He Goes 9/1, Smart for Ismail Mohammed in his prime but off for 21 months and changed hands for only 3,000 gns this autumn. A potential cut above at this level but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations. 2nd in Goodwood Cup in his pomp but serious doubts about what's left after 3,000gns sale. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
AUTOCRAT comes here in good form compared to most of his rivals and may be able to follow up a recent handicap success over an extended 1m2f. The selection has gained all four career wins at this venue including over this trip and Nicola Burns again claims a valuable 7lb. Away He Goes is the clear pick on form and was second in a Listed race at Meydan early last year. However, he now reappears after a lengthy absence and expectations don't appear too high considering the lowly valuation he's put in at here. Timourid enters calculations on his second to Nibiru over an extended 1m2f here in October, while Rockview Consort and Infatuator are others to consider.
Denis Hogan holds the key to this race. GOD OF THUNDER, who was pretty useful on AW for Richard Hannon, is the mount of Joey Sheridan from the yard's trio and is preferred to Timourid. Rhythm And Tyne was successful twice at this venue at a similar time last year and would enter the reckoning if the betting suggests he's expected to stage a revival back on AW. The other Hogan runner Away He Goes would pick up and carry these at his best but he hasn't been seen for 21 months.
Denis Hogan has a good strike-rate in claimers and TIMOURID might be worth chancing having gone close in a course claimer in October

1st (13) (17/2 -42%) Sweet Illusions |
17/2(-42%) | (13) Sweet Illusions 17/2, Foaled February 12. $28,000 yearling, Get Stormy filly. Dam unraced from family of top-class middle distance performer Mubtaker, runner-up in Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Fourth of 8 in barrier trial at Dundalk in July. Interesting if supported. First foal, one of three runners for the yard, Beautiful Affair appeals more on pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (9/4 +0%) Heather |
9/4(+0%) | (8) Heather 9/4, Foaled May 7. Camelot filly. Sister to 1½m winner Latrobe and winner up to 1¼m Pink Dogwood, both smart. Dam 6f winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Sister to Irish Derby winner Latrobe and Oaks second Pink Dogwood, strong pedigree claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (14/1 -180%) Calrissiana |
14/1(-180%) | (3) Calrissiana 14/1, 12/1, laboured effort when tenth of 14 in maiden at this C&D 19 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and good claims if returning to previous form. Third behind an odds-on shot over 1m at Leopardstown, little impact over C&D last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (40/1 -150%) Electric Beauty |
40/1(-150%) | (6) Electric Beauty 40/1, Foaled March 22. €21,000 yearling, Mastercraftsman filly.

Half-sister to seven winners, notably Bravo Zolo winner of seven races and effective on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (33/1 -136%) Denim And Diamonds |
33/1(-136%) | (5) Denim And Diamonds 33/1, Tongue strap on, tenth of 14 in maiden at this C&D (20/1) on debut 19 days ago, missing break. Probably one for the longer term. Yard second-string on debut, to improvement but appears held by Bridezilla. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (11/8 +75%) Beautiful Affair |
11/8(+75%) | (1) Beautiful Affair 11/8, €65,000Y: half-sister to 2-y-o 7.4f winner (stays 1¼m) Sherpa and 7.5f/1m winner Emporio (both by Zoffany), both useful: dam, 2-y-o 1m winner who stayed 1½m, closely related to smart 7.4f-9f winner Psalm. Fifth of 9 in barrier trial at Leopardstown in August. Half-sister to useful Donnacha O'Brien-trained winners Emporio and Sherpa; good pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (8/1 +33%) Princess Of Saxony |
8/1(+33%) | (12) Princess Of Saxony 8/1, Eighth of 14 in maiden at this C&D (20/1) on debut 19 days ago. Possibly one for later. Made some late progress in a C&D maiden last month, beaten under 6l, likely to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (20/1 -122%) Bridezilla |
20/1(-122%) | (2) Bridezilla 20/1, Twice-raced filly. 50/1, showed more than first time up when fifth of 14 in maiden at this C&D 19 days ago. Should improve further. Fifth of 14 at this venue last month; the experience of her two runs should be a help here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (14/1 +0%) Love Sonnet |
14/1(+0%) | (10) Love Sonnet 14/1, Foaled February 15. 10,000 gns foal, Shaman filly. Closely related to winner abroad by Casamento. Dam, 8.4f winner who stayed 1½m, half-sister to useful winner up to 8.5f Captain's Affair. Fifth foal; closely related to a US 1m turf winner; dam won over a bit further than this. |

10th (7) (80/1 -100%) Go Flo Jo |
80/1(-100%) | (7) Go Flo Jo 80/1, 33/1, twelfth of 13 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good) on debut. Off 154 days. Significantly up in trip. 33-1, slowly away and never in contention in a 6f maiden at Fairyhouse in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (40/1 -43%) Pekan |
40/1(-43%) | (11) Pekan 40/1, Foaled April 1. River Boyne filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 6f winner Gathering Power and winner up to 1m Billy Big. Dam 1m-9.7f winner. Half-sister to six winners including Listed-placed sprinter Gathering Power, dam won at 1m. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CALRISSIANA has shown promise in four outings notably when third behind the odds-on Minnie Hauk over this trip at Leopardstown. It's a concern that she appeared to run below that form when switched to this surface last month and there are a number of interesting newcomers to keep a close eye on. Heather makes plenty of appeal on pedigree being a sister to Irish Derby winner Latrobe while Beautiful Affair is by Wootton Bassett out of a winning Galileo mare and has gained some experience in a barrier trial. Any market moves for Electric Beauty, Love Sonnet or Pekan would be significant.
HEATHER is bred to be smart and gets the nod to make a winning debut before market clues. Calrissiana has the form to be in the thick of the action if bouncing back from a laboured effort over C&D recently, with Sweet Illusions another to watch closely in the betting having already shown some promise in a barrier trial.
This trip shoud be fine as a starting point for HEATHER, a sister to Irish Derby winner Latrobe and Oak second Pink Dogwood

1st (3) (9/4 +36%) Brigadier Kakuru |
9/4(+36%) | (3) Brigadier Kakuru 9/4, Found improvement when fourth of 13 in maiden at this course (7f, 80/1) 28 days ago. Switches to handicaps now and should have more to offer. Appeared not to stay 7f last time, interesting in first nursery with Colin Keane aboard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (5/2 +38%) Movin And Groovin |
5/2(+38%) | (8) Movin And Groovin 5/2, Consistent sort who posted another creditable effort when fourth of 13 in nursery (7/2) at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Should give another good account. Penultimate C&D third was encouraging but that was over 1m, this trip may be too sharp. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/2 +44%) Powerful Lady |
9/2(+44%) | (1) Powerful Lady 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form seventh of 12 in nursery (12/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to firm). Off 116 days. Makes polytrack debut. Others more persuasive. Faded in the final furlong of a 6f nursery at the Curragh in August, this is a weaker race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (6/1 -71%) Vanilla Baby |
6/1(-71%) | (5) Vanilla Baby 6/1, Fifth of 8 in nursery (8/1) at this course (5f) 19 days ago. Nicely treated on best form. Doubts raised by recent form, went close on handicap/AW debut over C&D three starts ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (11/2 +0%) Bansha Belle |
11/2(+0%) | (2) Bansha Belle 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, fourth of 9 in maiden (12/1) at this course (5f) 7 days ago. Stable in good form. Warrants respect on handicap debut. Fourth in first-time blinkers over 5f last week, can be competitive in her first handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (40/1 -233%) Petit Fusee |
40/1(-233%) | (9) Petit Fusee 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, ninth of 13 in nursery at this course (8f) 26 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Soundly beaten on handicap debut in 7f Down Royal nursery, down in trip, plenty to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (50/1 -25%) Kensington Hope |
50/1(-25%) | (4) Kensington Hope 50/1, 33/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in nursery at this course (5f) 19 days ago. Must improve. Ran poorly over 5f here last time, held by Movin And Groovin on previous C&D form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (16/1 +0%) Romantic War |
16/1(+0%) | (7) Romantic War 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in claimer (25/1) at this course (7f) 12 days ago. Work to do. Modest overall form, yard appears to have a better chance with Movin And Groovin. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (80/1 -21%) Star Allure |
80/1(-21%) | (6) Star Allure 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, thirteenth of 14 in nursery at this C&D 35 days ago. Not easy to make a strong case for. Held by Vanilla Baby, Movin And Groovin and Kensington Hope on running five weeks ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
VANILLA BABY had Movin And Groovin, Kensington Hope, Romantic War and Star Allure all behind when runner-up to Tomarlo over C&D last month. The Joseph O'Brien-trained filly subsequently didn't enjoy a clear passage when finishing behind Movin And Groovin over 7f and two days later lost her chance at the start over 5f. Ado McGuinness' charge is probably best suited by a longer trip while Bansha Belle and Brigadier Kakuru both try handicap company for the first time. The former ran well over this trip on debut while Brigadier Kakuru has also shown pace and Colin Keane is a significant booking.
BRIGADIER KAKURU left his previous form behind when fourth at this course last month and remains low mileage. He can get off the mark. Bansha Belle and Movin And Groovin are feared most.
It could pay to side with BRIGADIER KAKURU (nap) who appeared not to stay 7f last time and should be suited by a return to 6f now

1st (5) (10/11 +34%) Spycraft |
10/11(+34%) | (5) Spycraft 10/11, 310,000 gns yearling, Siyouni colt. Dam unraced out of winning sister to multiple Group 1 middle-distance performer Magical (high-class) and Rhododendron (very smart). Makes obvious paper appeal. Cost 310,000gns as a yearling, comes from a family associated with Group 1 winners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (17/2 +6%) Nepal |
17/2(+6%) | (4) Nepal 17/2, Foaled May 15. €45,000 yearling, Camacho colt. Half-brother to winner abroad by Iffraaj. Dam, 1¾m-2m winner, out of half-sister to smart 1¼m winner (stayed 14.6f) Celestial Halo. Worth a betting check on debut. Dam Listed-placed winner suited by staying trips, sire should inject some speed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (7/1 -110%) Wannabe Royal |
7/1(-110%) | (8) Wannabe Royal 7/1, Foaled February 4. 150,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett filly. Dam, 1m/9f winner (won Darley Stakes), half-sister to US Grade 2 11f winner Higher Truth, third in US Grade 11¼m event. One of 2 well-bred newcomers in this for her leading stable. Cost 150,000gns as a yearling; first foal out of well-related Group 3 winner Lady Wanabee. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (17/2 +58%) March To The Band |
17/2(+58%) | (3) March To The Band 17/2, Once-raced gelding. Cheekpieces on, ninth of 12 in maiden at this course (8f, 14/1) on debut 19 days ago. Raced a bit keenly over 1m at this venue first time out, could improve if settling better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (18/1 -64%) Kayamite |
18/1(-64%) | (7) Kayamite 18/1, Once-raced filly. Tongue strap on, seventh of 14 in maiden (100/1) at this C&D on debut 33 days ago. Not disgraced in mid-field when 100-1 on debut here a month ago, may improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (18/1 -140%) Alshmayme Sister |
18/1(-140%) | (6) Alshmayme Sister 18/1, Foaled March 12. Hello Youmzain filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Marhaba Ashmayme and 6f/7f winner Speed To Run. Dam 2-y-o 6f-1m winner. Stablemate of Frankton. The Half-sister to winners in Qatar and Italy, Colin Keane partners stablemate Frankton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (4/1 +11%) Frankton |
4/1(+11%) | (2) Frankton 4/1, Once-raced colt. Tongue strap on, ninth of 14 in C&D maiden on debut 14 days ago, having to pick way through. Open to improvement. Nibbled in market on debut over C&D, failed to make much impact, Colin Keane booked. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SPYCRAFT cost 310,000 guineas as a yearling and gets the vote to make a winning debut. The Siyouni colt out of an unraced daughter of Invincible Spirit hails from the family of multiple Group 1 winner Magical. Stablemate Wannabe Royal cost 150,000 guineas as a yearling and is by Wootton Bassett out of a Group 3 winner, while Nepal is another newcomer to note and is stoutly bred on the dam's side. Kayamite showed some promise on debut in mid-division behind Misappropriation over C&D last month and on a line through Fortuna Vera may hold an edge over Frankton.
The betting will likely be informative here. SPYCRAFT is probably the Joseph O'Brien first string judged on jockey bookings and gets the vote before any market clues are known. Frankton more than hinted at promise on his C&D debut and is second choice with Colin Keane taking the ride. The other O'Brien runner Wannabe Royal is also bred to be useful.
Not much to go on here. The vote goes to SPYCRAFT, a £310,000 purchase who is out of an unraced mare from a strong family

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
FERRARI DESERT has progressed well since joining Mark Fahey this year and had the slow starting Golden Days behind when making a successful transition to the Polytrack over C&D. The selection was subsequently third behind Shaaden and Jackie Brown and that form has been well advertised since. Golden Days has gained all four career wins over this trip and having stayed on into third last time behind Finsceal Annie, now replaces cheekpieces with a visor. Circles, Harry The Rogue, Draiocht and Hastily are others for the shortlist.
GOLDEN DAYS has shaped well here the last twice so could be the answer with a good-value apprentice booked. Harry The Rogue and Ferrari Desert head the dangers.
This can go the way of course and distance specialist, CIRCLES, who shaped with plenty of promise on last month's return

15/8(+53%) | (1) Limestone Red 15/8, C&D winner. 5/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, bumped 1f out and no further impression.

13/2(+0%) | (8) Ranko Express 13/2, 11/1, first run since rejoining present yard when creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago.

14/1(-17%) | (6) Buckhead Betty 14/1, First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when ninth of 13 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 12 days ago, not clear run. Cheekpieces back on and she's not one to write off. Unplaced in seven starts and hasn't found any improvement for the switch to h'caps. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
HIJO DE LA LUNA is still a maiden after 19 starts but has dropped down to a competitive mark and gave plenty of encouragement last time when beating all bar Numidia over C&D with Ranko Express only about a length behind in sixth. The application of cheekpieces recently appears to have helped the selection to concentrate, while Tassarolo rates a threat having stayed on over a mile on his handicap debut last week and should appreciate this longer trip. Waystar has shown promise on her latest two starts over 1m4f and could be suited by this shorter distance.
RANKO EXPRESS was far from disgraced and is entitled to be sharper for his first start for six months when midfield in a C&D handicap 12 days ago and, lurking on a handy mark, he could be worth chancing to come out on top. Hijo de La Luna, Buckhead Betty and Limestone Red are a trio of others to consider.
The weaker of the two divisions and long-standing maiden HIJO DE LA LUNA can take advantage after a narrow defeat over C&D last time

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
GALLO DELL CIELO showed improved form when getting up close home to land a 16-runner mile handicap at Gowran and has shaped well on both outings since over C&D. The selection went close behind Barretstown and was again prominent throughout when beating all bar the progressive The World's Astage. The Real Screamer appreciated a step up in trip and the switch to this surface when scoring in great style over C&D last month and the Awtaad gelding should again give a good account off his revised mark. Is She Now wasn't beaten far on handicap debut here last time while Omakase is another to consider.
OMAKASE shaped well on her first try over this trip here a month ago and with a career-low mark to exploit, she could be the answer. The Real Screamer was better than ever when successful here last time and is feared most, though Gallo Dell Cielo also arrives on the back of a much-improved showing.
A chance is taken on the unexposed filly, SAGA DES AIGLES who showed more in a maiden here recently and has been given a fair mark

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.
