13:32 Listowel Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ELZEM kept on nicely on debut over the minimum trip at the Curragh and was only caught in the closing stages when stepped up to 7f at Roscommon last time so this intermediate distance may prove ideal. There isn't much to choose between Promise Given and Shimmy Jimmy who were both denied a clear passage on debut in the Cork maiden won by Rock N Roll Rocket last month, while King Thistle was putting in his best work in at the finish at Navan and is sure to benefit from that experience. Hugo's Girl and She's Ideal are others to consider.

PROMISE GIVEN caught the eye when sixth at Cork on debut last month, just about last off the bridle but getting no luck in running, and she's preferred to Elzem and Hugo's Girl.

Could be a case of third time lucky for ELZEM who should appreciate the drop back in trip

13:40 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 5f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
11 (11) (20/1 -67%) Spirit Of Leros	20 20/1(-67%)	(11) Spirit Of Leros 20/1, Fifth of 10 in minor event at Ascot (5f, good to firm, 28/1) on debut 22 days ago. Likely to improve. 5f looked on the sharp side at Ascot as he lacked the gears to mount a proper challenge.
13 1st (13) (5/4 +34%) Kassaya	1.25 5/4(+34%)	(13) Kassaya 5/4, Promising individual. Second of 6 in minor event (5/2) at Salisbury (5f, heavy) on debut 17 days ago. Should improve so this Kingman filly is one to consider. Classy pedigree and overhauled only late on at Salisbury by a previous winner.
5 2nd (5) (33/1 -32%) Fuji Mountain	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Fuji Mountain 33/1, Seventh of 11 in minor event (25/1) at York (5f, good) on debut 18 days ago. Should progress. Finished a fading seventh at York and has ground to make up on King Of Light.

7 7th (7) (9/2 -29%) King Of Light	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(7) King Of Light 9/2, Promising Mehmas colt who came in third of 11 in minor event at York (5f, good) 18 days ago. Should have more to offer. Player. Has shown clear promise in finishing third in 5f good-ground novices at Windsor and York.
2 8th (2) (16/1 -14%) Bow Street	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Bow Street 16/1, 14/1, seventh of 10 in minor event at Ascot (5f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago, missing break. Open to improvement. Looked in need of the experience at Ascot (5f, good) when in rear throughout.

Dam 2-y-o 1m winner out of useful 10.4f winner Hug And A Kiss. Worth a market check. Caught the eye at the breeze-ups to make £200,000 and looks worth shortlisting.

13:40 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Nahi, Art Market and Mission Command all make some appeal ahead of their respective debuts, but experience counts for plenty and it is KING OF LIGHT who shades preference. Having shaped with promise on his debut at Windsor in April, the Mehmas colt took a step forward when finishing third at York last month. That effort sets the form standard and any further improvement will make him tough to beat.

Karl Burke's son of Mehmas KING OF LIGHT holds the edge on form and with the prospect of better to come he edges the vote in a very open-looking maiden. Andrew Balding's Kingman filly Kassaya also has the benefit of experience and is next on the list ahead of newcomers Art Market, Mission Command and Nahi.

Chaldean's half-sister KASSAYA would probably have made a winning debut at Salisbury had she been that bit wiser.

Tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 13 in bumper at this course (19f, good, 50/1) on bumper debut 16 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles.

13:45 Kilbeggan Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LATE VOCATION is capable of landing a moderate looking affair. The Workforce mare has some nice form in the book and it was a decent run at Tipperary on her return last month when she stayed on into fifth behind Slip Jig. Going up in trip now should help. Lynchy Boy chased home easy winner If You Let Me here 16 days ago and is another with an obvious chance. The Affinisea gelding has to give away half a stone to the 97-rated mare. Fire Force, another Workforce mare, has been placed in a couple of point-to-points and is another to consider on her Rules debut.

LATE VOCATION bounced back to form at Tipperary last month and will be suited by the step back up in trip here. She can open her account. Lynchy Boy look the obvious danger on form, whilst Fire Force has acquitted herself well in points this year and warrants respect on her debut under Rules.

This looks like a good opportunity for LATE VOCATION who finished well over 2m at Tipperary on her first start since last December

14:00 Fakenham Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

An open contest sees a chance taken on BRISTOL HILL, who made a pleasing start to his career over timber when third over 2m at Huntingdon last month. Kevin Frost's charge showed signs of inexperience, racing too freely for much of the journey, but the six-year-old showed a likeable attitude running on late in the day and is expected to go well. Pleasant Man is feared most after being sent off favourite the last time he ran over hurdles, while Brave Jen also makes some appeal.

James Owen's CANNON ROCK has some useful winning Flat form to his name and comes here on the back of a good recent AW second at Kempton so is fancied to make a successful start now hurdling for his in-form yard. Pleasant Man is the form pick of those with experience and rates much the biggest threat, with Bristol Hill, Dirty Den and Natchez Trace all in the mix for minor honours.

Several have a chance in this maiden, in which the vote goes to the ex-Godolphin 4yo CANNON ROCK on his debut over hurdles.

7 (7) (9/1 +18%) Marianne North	9 9/1(+18%)	(7) Marianne North 9/1, Belardo filly who had a difficult draw but left debut form in her wake nevertheless (in a tongue tie) when third of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft) 27 days ago, running on late. May do better again. Improvement in tongue tie latest; won't need to improve too much more to play a role here.
6 (6) (16/1 +36%) Kodilicious	16 16/1(+36%)	(6) Kodilicious 16/1, Kodi Bear filly. 11/2, tenth of 11 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) on debut 26 days ago, merely closing up late. Thought capable of better then and it's feasible to think she can do better for her good yard. Awkwardly away when never counting on Navan debut; should come on for the experience.
9 (9) (40/1 +0%) No Straight Swaps	40 40/1(+0%)	(9) No Straight Swaps 40/1, Twice-raced filly. Hooded for 1st time, ran to a similar level as on debut when sixth of 9 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good, 16/1) 22 days ago. Looks a likely type for handicaps moving forward. Just fair form both starts, more likely one for a nursery in time.
1 1st (1) (13/8 +1%) American Bar	1.625 13/8(+1%)	(1) American Bar 13/8, Foaled April 16. €300,000 yearling, No Nay Never filly. Dam, 7f winner (including at 2 yrs), closely related to smart winner up to 1¼m Hannibal Barca and useful 1½m-1¾m winner Fledged. Holds a Group 2 entry and she's a newcomer to note for very good stable. 300,000euros yearling; debutant from highly respected yard.
4 2nd (4) (5/2 +44%) Cradle Of Love	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(4) Cradle Of Love 5/2, Promising sort. Third of 11 in maiden (10/3) at Navan (5f, good to soft) 26 days ago. effort when hanging left 2f out and keeping on. Remains the type to do better with cheekpieces now enlisted. Showed decent level of ability at Navan despite hanging left; cheekpieces now tried.
11 3rd (11) (9/2 +72%) Red Veil	4.5 9/2(+72%)	(11) Red Veil 9/2, Mehmas filly. Sixth of 12 in maiden (18/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) on debut 27 days ago. Probably more one for nurseries in due course. should have learnt plenty from Naas debut run so don't rule out.
8 4th (8) (13/2 -117%) Merrily	6.5 13/2(-117%)	(8) Merrily 13/2, Foaled March 28. $325,000 yearling, No Nay Never filly. Half-sister to 5f-7.4f winner Siyata. Dam, 9.4f/1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 1m/9.5f winner Brooch. Noteworthy newcomer. $325,000 yearling from top yard; obvious appeal.
5 5th (5) (10/1 -43%) Irish Acclamation	10 10/1(-43%)	(5) Irish Acclamation 10/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 6 in minor event (2/1) at the Curragh (5f, heavy) 42 days ago, losing place approaching final 1f. Up in trip. Stable having good spell. Definite ability in both maiden runs on testing ground; more likely needed.
3 6th (3) (50/1 -25%) Brigid's Cloak	50 50/1(-25%)	(3) Brigid's Cloak 50/1, Once-raced filly. 14/1, looked badly in need of experience when twelfth of 13 in maiden at Cork (5f, good to soft) on debut 12 days ago. This should reveal more up in trip. Never counted on Cork debut, having been unruly beforehand; best watched for now.
2 7th (2) (33/1 -18%) Boutella	33 33/1(-18%)	(2) Boutella 33/1, Foaled February 19. 34,000 gns yearling, Bated Breath filly. Dam, 2-y-o 7f/7.5f winner who stayed 1½m, out of Premio Regina Elena winner Dancer Destination (runner-up in Oaks d'Italia). Betting should prove a useful guide on debut. Bated Breath filly cost 34,000gns as a yearling; yard's newcomers tend to need a run.

14:07 Listowel Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AMERICAN BAR is obviously a good-looking daughter of No Nay Never having cost 300,000 euro at the Goffs Orby Sale and her dam was successful as a juvenile. Merrily is another interesting newcomer by No Nay Never and the $325,000 yearling is out of a Listed winning daughter of Selkirk. Cradle Of Love and Irish Acclamation appear the pick of those with experience. The former hung left when placed at Navan last time but may get away with that tendency around this track and is now fitted with cheekpieces. Irish Acclamation has also shown promise on both starts and may appreciate this sounder surface.

AMERICAN BAR makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard adept at readying a newcomer, and with a Group 2 entry, she could be worth siding with before market clues. Merrily is another newcomer high on the shortlist for Aidan O'Brien. The promising Cradle of Love is the pick of those with experience and can also feature.

this may rest between a pair of expensively-bought No Nay Never fillies, AMERICAN BAR getting preference over Merrily

14:15 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Get Jiggy With It continues to knock on the door and she would be a deserved winner, while Keady Town, who will appreciate an ease in class, is another who looks set to go well. However, a chance can be taken on FINE GOLD. Tom Clover's gelding shaped with more promise than the finishing position suggests over 6f here on debut last month, after losing many lengths leaving the stalls. He'll be more streetwise this time and is taken to strike going up in trip.

MERCURY DAY showed plenty for Ralph Beckett at 2 yrs, beaten only by a subsequent Group 3 winner at Chelmsford on her final start, and she's preferred to the other form pick Get Jiggy With It, who's proving expensive to follow. Keady Town has improved in handicaps this year and is another to consider back in a maiden.

Keady Town and Get Jiggy With It have fair form but MERCURY DAY is preferred on her first run for a new stable.

In calmers waters now and ought to give a good account. Last two runs have been ambitious, should be able to hold her own dropped in class now.
3 2nd (3) (9/4 +50%) Littlebiggie	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(3) Littlebiggie 9/4, Upped in trip and found improvement when winning 16-runner novice hurdle at Killarney (22.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago, always holding on. May have more to offer yet. Made all to win over an extended 2m6f latest, should have no trouble getting this trip.
1 3rd (1) (13/2 -86%) Clodders Dream	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(1) Clodders Dream 13/2, Fairly useful hurdler. Career best when winning 17-runner novice hurdle at Clonmel (19f, soft, 13/2) 17 days ago, forging clear. Significantly up in trip. Stable in good form. Respected. Won 2m3f maiden at Clonmel despite untidy jumping, others better suited by race conditions.
2 4th (2) (5/2 -100%) Maxi Mac Gold	2.5 5/2(-100%)	(2) Maxi Mac Gold 5/2, Back from 4 months off when taking 13-runner novice hurdle at Cork (24.6f, good) 22 days ago, hard held. Remains low mileage and holds strong claims. Good display at Cork profiting from 3m trip, fitting of a tongue-tie and good ground.
5 5th (5) (7/1 +50%) Shantou Show	7 7/1(+50%)	(5) Shantou Show 7/1, Lightly-raced winner in chases. First run since leaving Noel C. Kelly when fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Down Royal (26.2f, good to soft, 3/1) 27 days ago. Plenty on plate switched to hurdling. Dual hunter chase winner, trip should be fine but lack of hurdling experience a drawback.
6 6th (6) (28/1 +15%) Ivy Hall	28 28/1(+15%)	(6) Ivy Hall 28/1, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 12 hurdle runs. Fourteenth of 17 in minor event hurdle (250/1) at Punchestown (19.3f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Engaged 5.25 Listowel Saturday. Placed at this venue last year, 95-rated mare may struggle to make an impact at this level.

14:20 Kilbeggan Novices Hurdle 25f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MAXI MAC GOLD had some solid placed form before getting off the mark in fine style at Cork last month and this looks like a nice opportunity to bag another win. The Doctor Dino gelding won easily over a similar trip last time and sets a decent standard here off an official mark of 125. The Willie Mullins-trained mare Paggane is weighted to be a danger. She finished seventh in a hot mares contest at Punchestown last time and tackles this trip for the first time. Clodders Dream was a good winner at Clonmel last time and could improve for going up in trip now. He's another for the shortlist.

MAXI MAC GOLD was clearly suited by the stiffer test of stamina when scoring at Cork last month and is fancied to follow up. Littlebiggie may provide the chief threat.

Paul Nolan's Cork winner MAXI MAC GOLD ticks the right boxes in terms of the trip, ground, and race conditions.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 (7) (10/1 +17%) Lady Salvador	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Lady Salvador 10/1, Showed she can make an impact from a basement mark when second of 7 on her Fontwell handicap debut/reappearance in November. Not helped by a late mistake when seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle back there on return in May but she has work to do from out of the weights here. Lightly raced; best run when 2nd in 2m4f mares' handicap in December; below par last time.
1 1st (1) (8/13 +23%) Chatty Chich	0.615385 8/13(+23%)	(1) Chatty Chich 8/13, Well held in 3 qualifying runs in mid-winter but had displayed ability in a bumper and much more like it in handicaps, runner-up over C&D before going one place better at Huntingdon (25f, good) 24 days ago. Big player in follow-up bid from 6 lb higher mark. Improved for 3m and handicaps; good C&D second before Huntingdon win; up 6lb; good chance.
2 2nd (2) (15/2 -15%) Mountain Bay	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(2) Mountain Bay 15/2, Well held in bumpers/novice maidens but shaped better than previously on third start in handicaps when staying on gradually for third over 20f here 26 days ago. Return to this longer trip could see him in an even better light if building on that here. 0-9; best for a bit in 3rd here latest (2m4f); pulled up here only run at about 3m (soft).
5 3rd (5) (13/2 +35%) Little Talks	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(5) Little Talks 13/2, Dispelled a serious of lesser efforts in spite of the drop in trip when runner-up in mares' maiden company here (20f) on penultimate start. Not seen to best effect when midfield at Stratford (26.4f) over longest trip she's faced latest and she's not dismissed out of hand from this mark. Two fair runs here this year, notably 4th in 2m4f novice h'cap in February; 10lb lower now.
3 4th (3) (10/1 +17%) Joker Du Chenet	10 10/1(+17%)	(3) Joker Du Chenet 10/1, Respectable efforts at best without success for Stuart Crawford but has run poorly both starts to date for new yard, including after wind surgery when seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, soft) 62 days ago. Good bit to prove now. Disappointing on both starts for this yard, including when back after wind op latest.
4 5th (4) (11/1 -10%) Ebendi	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Ebendi 11/1, Fairly useful Flat performer for Joseph O'Brien. Not at that level over hurdles but ran one of better races when a smooth-travelling fourth at Ayr (24.3f) in March. Heavy ground a plausible excuse at Uttoxeter since and conditions much more in his favour here. 0-10 over hurdles; improved for 3m and has a chance on his Ayr fourth two runs back.
6 \|PU\| (6) (14/1 +13%) Silver Atom	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Silver Atom 14/1, Tasted success on the Flat at Bath (11.6f) and largely run with credit over hurdles in recent months. Finished midfield on first crack at this sort of trip at Ludlow (23.8f) 3 weeks back but others look more interesting for win purposes. 1m3f Flat winner; 0-13 over hurdles; bit disappointing on first go at 3m last time.

14:35 Fakenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Following a cosy success over 3m1f at Huntingdon last month, CHATTY CHICH appears likely to follow up that success. Dan Skelton's charge has been raised 6lb in the ratings which may not be enough to halt her progression. Despite being a well-beaten third over 2m4f at this venue last time, Mountain Bay is feared most given the handicapper has loosened his grip, while Ebendi looks set to follow them home.

CHATTY CHICH confirmed the promise of her C&D handicap debut second when running out a good winner at Huntingdon 25 days ago and, still unexposed as a stayer, she looks to hold excellent claims of following up for her leading yard. Little Talks isn't one to dismiss out of hand, and along with Ebendi, heads up the dangers.

Having improved since running over about 3m, CHATTY CHICH has a sound chance to follow up her Huntingdon win despite being 6lb higher.

3 (3) (11/4 +31%) Mercurial	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(3) Mercurial 11/4, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 21-runner handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy, 9/1) 43 days ago, pushed out. Can make presence felt. Curragh winner up 8lb and ideally wants it softer.
4 1st (4) (11/4 +58%) Coumshingaun	2.75 11/4(+58%)	(4) Coumshingaun 11/4, C&D winner. 8/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 22 days ago, running on. Respected. C&D winner back to form latest; draw not ideal here.
9 2nd (9) (8/1 +33%) Winemaker	8 8/1(+33%)	(9) Winemaker 8/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in March. Fourteenth of 17 in handicap (11/1) at the Curragh (6f, soft) 27 days ago. Won here last year; ground too soft latest so don't rule out.
13 3rd (13) (20/1 +39%) Louiescall	20 20/1(+39%)	(13) Louiescall 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero when sixth of 11 in maiden at Cork (10.2f, good to soft, 66/1) 37 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap debut. Yard among the winners at Fairyhouse on Thursday so worth a market check on handicap debut.
10 4th (10) (10/1 +38%) Mount Ruapehu	10 10/1(+38%)	(10) Mount Ruapehu 10/1, Below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, heavy, 15/2) 5 days ago. Back up in trip. Turf form of late just okay so needs to step up here to play a major role.
11 5th (11) (8/1 +33%) Tai Sing Yeh	8 8/1(+33%)	(11) Tai Sing Yeh 8/1, 18/1, creditable third of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, soft) 27 days ago. Recent Curragh run was encouraging but shocker of a draw here.
7 6th (7) (5/1 +0%) Polar Bear	5 5/1(+0%)	(7) Polar Bear 5/1, 11/1, respectable fourth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Potentially on a good mark if building on that. Extended 7f probably too far last time; can't rule out now back in trip.
1 7th (1) (4/1 +67%) Miss Black Jack	4 4/1(+67%)	(1) Miss Black Jack 4/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Dundalk in April. 10/1, 8½ lengths ninth of 11 to Pandora's Gift in listed race at Chelmsford City (6f) 31 days ago. Not taken lightly.

12 9th (12) (14/1 +72%) Rumbled Again	14 14/1(+72%)	(12) Rumbled Again 14/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good, 40/1) 9 days ago. Yet to hit form this season, hard to fancy.

14 11th (14) (20/1 +39%) Theriverrunsdeep	20 20/1(+39%)	(14) Theriverrunsdeep 20/1, Latest win at Dundalk in February. Sixteenth of 18 in handicap (10/1) at Fairyhouse (6.1f, good to soft) 3 days ago, hampered. Unable to exploit lower turf mark of late; hard to fancy.
15 12th (15) (80/1 -60%) Florence Thompson	80 80/1(-60%)	(15) Florence Thompson 80/1, Remains a maiden after 50 Flat runs. Ninth of 13 in claimer (66/1) at Sligo (5.9f, good) 18 days ago. RESERVE. Poor maiden 12lb wrong here and hard to give a chance to; reserve.

14:42 Listowel Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Mercurial bridged a gap of nearly three years without a win when drawing clear inside the final furlong for a decisive victory in a 21-runner 6f handicap at the Curragh with RAMIRO just over three lengths back in third. The selection, who didn't enjoy the clearest of runs subsequently at Limerick, has been a model of consistency this year and gets the vote at the revised weights to record a sixth career win. Coumshingaun's three wins include a maiden over C&D and she comes here in decent form having suffered a troubled passage when third to Dance Night Andday (won again since) at Naas.

POLAR BEAR took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Roscommon 3 weeks ago and is potentially well treated if building on that. Mercurial arrives on the back of a career-best win at the Curragh and is next best ahead of Coumshingaun.

Quite an open look to this handicap, it could pay to side with POLAR BEAR, who found the trip too far last time

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (13/2 -86%) Tribal Chief	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(5) Tribal Chief 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1 and hooded for 1st time, eighth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (7f) 60 days ago. Gelded subsequently and switch to handicaps very much in his favour so he's one to note. Hooded latest; gelded since; stable going well and he needs a check on turf/handicap debut.
3 2nd (3) (3/1 +60%) Hello Cotai	3 3/1(+60%)	(3) Hello Cotai 3/1, Cotai Glory gelding who ran his best race to date faced with testing conditions when second of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (1m, heavy) in May. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (8f, soft) 9 days ago. Not discounted. Eight-race maiden, best when pipped at Goodwood (1m, heavy) on penultimate start.
9 3rd (9) (7/2 -17%) Evelyn's Phoenix	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(9) Evelyn's Phoenix 7/2, Lightly-raced winner. 28/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Redcar (7f, good) 13 days ago, suited by way race developed. Still, she remains unexposed following just 4 career starts and merits respect again. 28-1, narrow win from out the back on recent handicap debut at Redcar (7f, good to firm).
1 4th (1) (5/1 -50%) Persian Phoenix	5 5/1(-50%)	(1) Persian Phoenix 5/1, Creditable second of 8 in handicap (15/8) at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 16 days ago, headed approaching final 1f and staying on. Return to 1m will hold no fears and she's one to consider. Placed at Windsor and Hamilton on last two starts; more to prove on softer than good.
10 5th (10) (5/1 +29%) Bestie	5 5/1(+29%)	(10) Bestie 5/1, Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, soft, 4/1) 5 days ago, pushed along halfway and plugging on. Cheekpieces on 1st time and step up to 1m worth exploring on that evidence. 3rd or 4th in four of his five 6f/7f handicaps; 1m is now worth a go; cheekpieces go on.
6 6th (6) (16/1 -14%) Make A Scene	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) Make A Scene 16/1, Winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in February. but record patchy since, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) 16 days ago. Return to this shorter trip rates a likely plus and her penultimate Windsor effort gives her claims from career-low mark. 8.6f AW win; close fifth at Windsor (1m, good) on penultimate outing.
11 7th (11) (50/1 +24%) Angel Of Gold	50 50/1(+24%)	(11) Angel Of Gold 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was well held in pair of AW handicaps in January and fared no better making turf debut when tenth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 80/1) 50 days ago. Others make much greater appeal. No serious impact in her five AW runs or when 80-1 in Yarmouth handicap (1m, good to firm).
7 8th (7) (14/1 +44%) Quick Away	14 14/1(+44%)	(7) Quick Away 14/1, Showed improved form back up in trip when runner-up in 9-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) in March but well below that level when fourth of 6 in handicap (14/1) at Haydock (8f, heavy) 36 days ago. 0-7 with best efforts on AW; remote fourth of six at Haydock (1m, soft) when back to turf.
2 9th (2) (28/1 +0%) Romanee	28 28/1(+0%)	(2) Romanee 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, eighteenth of 19 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 100/1) 29 days ago, losing place over 2f out. Drop back down in grade rates a definite plus. Tailed off when hooded in 19-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f, good; 100-1) on return.
4 10th (4) (18/1 -50%) Cerulean Summer	18 18/1(-50%)	(4) Cerulean Summer 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 11 days ago. Makes turf debut. Respectable fifth of 11 at Kempton (1m) 11 days ago; needs improvement on this turf debut.

14:50 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HELLO COTAI was caught further back than ideal at Haydock nine days ago, so it was to his credit that he plugged on for fourth. Should he break on terms this time, Adam West's charge appears to hold solid claims now eased in class off an unchanged mark. Evelyn's Phoenix surprised a few when winning at odds of 28/1 over 7f at Redcar last time out and he makes obvious appeal upped in trip. Handicap debutant Tribal Chief is worth a market check too.

PERSIAN PHOENIX has stepped back up with each outing so far this campaign, finishing a creditable second at Hamilton 16 days ago. The return to 1m will hold no fears and she shades the vote in a competitive affair. Redcar-scorer Evelyn's Phoenix and handicap-debutant Tribal Chief head the dangers, whilst Bestie, in first-time cheekpieces, looks worth a crack at 1m.

Another step forward looks possible for EVELYN'S PHOENIX (nap) who swooped late on to win his handicap debut over 7f at Redcar.

1 10th (1) (11/2 -22%) He Fitz In	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(1) He Fitz In 11/2, Course winner. Latest win in chase at Limerick in March. Stiff task when fell 16th in handicap chase at Punchestown (31.3f, soft) 29 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Looks competitive on form. Last four runs have been over fences, faller on latest, not badly treated over hurdles.
12 11th (12) (100/1 -52%) May Call You Back	100 100/1(-52%)	(12) May Call You Back 100/1, Ninth of 11 in novice chase at Downpatrick (19.4f, good to soft, 125/1) 9 days ago.

14:55 Kilbeggan Handicap Hurdle 25f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STEPS MATCH ran a solid enough race when fourth at Cork just over three weeks ago and may be able to strike here now. The Court Cave gelding stayed on at the finish then over a similar trip and remains on the same mark. Navy Waves was also fourth last time, when behind Flicker Of Hope in Clonmel. That form looks solid with the winner following up at Wexford the other day. Without Exception hasn't been far away on his last couple of outings and is another that has to come into calculations. He has dropped a pound since his fifth placed effort at Limerick.

STEPS MATCH can race off the same mark as when a good fourth in a big-field handicap at Cork last time so looks the way to go. The Lucky Lobster could emerge as the main danger reverted to this sphere, although He Fitz In, Without Exception and Everystep oftheway all need factoring in too.

A hopeful vote goes to STEPS MATCH who likes good ground and stays well. Last month's Cork form was respectable

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (10/1 +0%) Pittsburg	10 10/1(+0%)	(4) Pittsburg 10/1, Dual winner over fences last summer but arrives here on the back of a couple of poor efforts so has a bit to prove now. In good form last summer; 1m3f Flat winner in March; disappointing back chasing last time.
1 1st (1) (10/3 -48%) Omaha Wish	3.333333 10/3(-48%)	(1) Omaha Wish 10/3, Point winner who made the frame in a trio of hurdles last term, including when third of 7 on handicap debut at Fakenham (16f). Offered something to work on sent chasing when good third at Warwick since so needs considering. Point winner in 2022; best hurdles run when 3rd over C&D; good 3rd on chase debut; chance.
3 2nd (3) (9/2 +0%) Ferrybridge	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(3) Ferrybridge 9/2, A fair winning hurdler/chaser who was left clear at the last when opening his account in a handicap chase at Huntingdon (16.5f, good to soft) in March. Creditable placed efforts last 2 starts and likely to give it another good go. Huntingdon winner in March; two fair chase runs since; conditions suit; one to consider;.
2 3rd (2) (7/1 +65%) Somekindofstar	7 7/1(+65%)	(2) Somekindofstar 7/1, Lost his way for Charlie Longsdon and not much promise both starts for current yard. C&D winner; good C&D 3rd over hurdles on stable debut; a lesser run over fences last time.
9 4th (9) (22/1 -57%) Berlais Du George	22 22/1(-57%)	(9) Berlais Du George 22/1, HInted at ability when fourth in novice on hurdles debut at Plumpton in October but gone the wrong way since, finishing well held on chase debut latest. 0-6; well-beaten last of four on chase debut at Fontwell last time; bit to prove.
5 5th (5) (6/1 +50%) Moore Clouds	6 6/1(+50%)	(5) Moore Clouds 6/1, Doubled her chase account at Sedgefield on Boxing Day. Not at best since but now 3 lb below winning mark and wasn't disgraced back over hurdles last time. Two handicap chase wins last term; not in quite such good form since but a possible.
8 6th (8) (4/1 +50%) Go Fox	4 4/1(+50%)	(8) Go Fox 4/1, Won twice over fences last summer. including this race off this mark. Respectable third here (21f) last month after 10 weeks off and bold show wouldn't surprise. On same mark as for C&D win last June (won off 7lb higher next time); good chance.
6 7th (6) (17/2 -89%) Augharue	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(6) Augharue 17/2, Came agonisingly close to breaking his duck from a tumbling mark at Sedgefield (17f, good, 10/1) 23 days ago, just failing. Enters calculations for all that he's not the most consistent. Best run for a while when close 2nd last time; chance on that form but lacks consistency.
7 \|F\| (7) (8/1 +60%) Angel's Dream	8 8/1(+60%)	(7) Angel's Dream 8/1, Has become disappointing over hurdles so easy enough to oppose on chase bow. Maiden hurdle winner last May; mainly disappointing after that; well treated; chase debut.

15:10 Fakenham Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Just touched off over 2m1f at Sedgefield last time, Augharue arrives here with solid credentials, but he may be vulnerable to some better treated rivals such as GO FOX. Neil King's runner has been eased 2lb in the ratings for his third over 2m5f at this track and, with this drop in trip likely to suit, he appears capable of exploiting an attractive mark of 81. Omaha Wish and Ferrybridge are also worthy of consideration.

OMAHA WISH offered something to work on sent chasing when a good third at Warwick and gets the vote over of Moore Clouds, who's dipped below her last winning mark. Augharue only just failed at Sedgefield last month and is another to consider.

The choice is GO FOX, who ran creditably over 2m5f here last time and is back on the same mark as when winning over C&D a year ago.

15:17 Listowel Stakes 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (4/1 +50%) Sara Valentina	4 4/1(+50%)	(4) Sara Valentina 4/1, No Nay Never filly who was again strong in the betting and showed much-improved form back from 7 months off when winning 10-runner maiden (5/2) at Limerick (6.7f, soft) 17 days ago, impressively. This demands a good deal more but she's entitled to improve again. The horse she beat at Limerick was beaten in a maiden this week; has potential, though.
5 1st (5) (2/1 +43%) The Liffey	2 2/1(+43%)	(5) The Liffey 2/1, Looked above-average when winning only start at 2 yrs and not disgraced back from 10 months off when fifth of 8 to Battle Cry in Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy, 10/1) 56 days ago. Should come on for that and one to be interested in. Maiden win reads well and conditions were heavy when fifth in a Group 3 on return.
7 2nd (7) (11/2 -38%) Without Words	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(7) Without Words 11/2, Fairly useful filly. Won 9-runner minor event (15/10) at Toulouse (8f, good). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Francois Rohaut. Yard having good spell. Open to improvement. Cost 450,000 euros; stable runs three so the market should be highly informative.
6 3rd (6) (9/4 +36%) Uluru	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(6) Uluru 9/4, Promising sort who won first of 2 starts as a juvenile and improved again after 7 months off when second of 4 in minor event at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 19 days ago, despite not looking the finished article. Pushed a talented filly close at Killarney and that run gives her strong claims here.
2 4th (2) (14/1 +13%) Narmar	14 14/1(+13%)	(2) Narmar 14/1, Fairly useful gelding. C&D winner. 33/1, 11¾ lengths last of 13 to Piz Badile in Diamond Stakes at Dundalk (10.7f) in September, Off 8 months/gelded since and he could yet resume progress with blinkers now enlisted. Market may guide. Won a maiden here before struggling in Listed races; now gelded and blinkered.
1 5th (1) (10/1 +9%) Gleneagle Bay	10 10/1(+9%)	(1) Gleneagle Bay 10/1, Gleneagles gelding. Well backed, overcame inexperience to win 13-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f) on debut 68 days ago, always holding on. Looks sure to progress. Probably needs a good deal more here despite his maiden win working out well.
3 6th (3) (6/1 -50%) Quar Shamar	6 6/1(-50%)	(3) Quar Shamar 6/1, Useful gelding. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, 3½ lengths fourth of 5 to Mutasarref in listed race at Naas (7f, good to firm, 11/1) 14 days ago. That ought to have taken the freshness out of him and he's respected. Ran well in the last season's Irish Guineas but has been underwhelming since.

15:17 Listowel Stakes 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It looks significant that Dylan Browne McMonagle partners WITHOUT WORDS in preference to two winning stablemates and the well-bred filly also has a Group 3 entry in the next few weeks. The daughter of Mendelssohn is closely related to Grade 1 winner Combatant and cost 450,000 euro at Arqana last December. Quar Shamar won a mile maiden at Dundalk last spring and wasn't disgraced subsequently behind Paddington in the Irish 2,000 Guineas. He only weakened in the closing stages when reappearing in a 7f Listed race at Naas and may prove more of a threat than The Liffey or Uluru.

ULURU showed improved form returning from 7 months off despite not looking the finished article when second at Killarney 19 days ago, and with the prospect of more to come, she earns the vote. The Liffey is another 3-y-o entitled to improve and feared, along with Quar Shamar.

This is trappy but jockey bookings indicate there could be a big run in the well-related WITHOUT WORDS who cost 450,000 euros.

Not one to write off from this sort of mark. Doncaster win in March (soft); mixed since but return to 5f in his favour; not ruled out.
9 1st (9) (7/2 +36%) High Opinion	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(9) High Opinion 7/2, C&D winner. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 14 days ago. Should give another good account. Running well in defeat in recent months but extra will be required to defy this mark.
8 2nd (8) (10/1 -25%) Phoenix Star	10 10/1(-25%)	(8) Phoenix Star 10/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. 16/5, respectable 2 lengths third of 8 to Inspired Knowhow in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Needs to turn the tables with that rival. Two solid efforts back on the grass; 6lb better off for 2l with Inspired Knowhow on latest.
2 3rd (2) (3/1 +63%) J R Cavagin	3 3/1(+63%)	(2) J R Cavagin 3/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 6/1) 19 days ago, not knocked about. Should be back to peak fitness now. Usually takes a few runs to come to hand so not ruled out now dropping in class.
4 4th (4) (14/1 -40%) Mereside Angel	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) Mereside Angel 14/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to firm, 12/1) 13 days ago. Needs to bounce back. 1-1 in Class 6 handicaps; yet to fire this year but latest run not devoid of promise.
10 5th (10) (9/1 +36%) Latin Five	9 9/1(+36%)	(10) Latin Five 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in March. 9/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly. Bad draw last time and this pick of this season's efforts gives him solid claims.
1 6th (1) (12/1 -243%) Inspired Knowhow	12 12/1(-243%)	(1) Inspired Knowhow 12/1, 9/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Progressing recently. Narrow win at Windsor last month on first 5f attempt; 5lb rise doesn't look generous.
6 7th (6) (4/1 +11%) Showalong	4 4/1(+11%)	(6) Showalong 4/1, C&D winner. Blinkered for 1st time, unlucky not to finish closer when third of 10 in handicap (5/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago, hampered. In good form and is expected to be bang there. Placed over 5f on last three starts, including C&D latest; each-way shout once again.

11 9th (11) (20/1 +39%) Snow Berry	20 20/1(+39%)	(11) Snow Berry 20/1, Course winner. 8/1, last of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f), lost all chance at start. Off 7 months. Has work to do on return. Course winner; absent since November though and others look safer.
7 10th (7) (40/1 -150%) Chief Of Navy	40 40/1(-150%)	(7) Chief Of Navy 40/1, Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving B. Seemar when seventh of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 10 days ago. Others make more appeal. Exposed 15-race maiden; low-key stable debut ten days ago; hood left off now; yard run two.

15:25 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Inspired Knowhow showed a likeable attitude when getting up in the shadows of the post over 5f at Windsor last time and this in-form gelding is likely to offer another bold bid, but he may struggle to defy a 5lb rise in the ratings. Therefore, PHOENIX STAR, who finished a little over two lengths behind Marco Botti's charge on that occasion, can reverse the form on these revised terms, while High Opinion should also be thereabouts.

INSPIRED KNOWHOW fully clicked when an impressive winner at Windsor last time and there's the hope for better still, so he's preferred to the in-form Showalong, who was unlucky last time. High Opinion should also give his running.

Zargun and Phoenix Star can go well but NEVER THIS WAY shaped nicely at Beverley last month and now drops in class.

Fairly useful winner at 16f on flat. 13/2, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 65 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Should improve.

10 10th (10) (15/2 +6%) Forever Frankie	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(10) Forever Frankie 15/2, Respectable seventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft, 9/1) 27 days ago. Can make presence felt. Best run over hurdles came when second to an improver at Tramore; well held last time.
14 11th (14) (6/1 +50%) Tannery Park	6 6/1(+50%)	(14) Tannery Park 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden who posted a very good fifth of 17 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) 12 days ago.

Last of 11 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good to soft, 11/1) 28 days ago. Switches to hurdles and not ruled out on handicap hurdle debut. Decent Flat performer has run well in a couple of maiden hurdles; could be well treated.

15:30 Kilbeggan Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TANNERY PARK may be able to take another step forward in his second handicap. The Golden Horn gelding showed more when a staying on fifth behind Makfils at Punchestown 12 days ago and better ground then may have suited. The four-year-old is still fairly unexposed. Morepowertoya comes here in good form and looks an obvious contender. The French-bred won at Tipperary on his penultimate outing and ran well when third off this mark at the same venue last time. Across The Ocean is another unexposed sort who could make an impression now for in-form trainer Gavin Cromwell. He ran a nice race when fourth on his return at Clonmel last month.

MOREPOWERTOYA can race off the same mark as when a very good recent Tipperary third so edges the vote in a competitive handicap. Riyami remains unexposed in this sphere and heads the list of dangers, although Across The Ocean, Inthenickoftime and Shraheen all command plenty of respect too. Red Trail completes the shortlist.

A few of these are unexposed and one who might have a bit up her sleeve is four-time Flat winner RED TRAIL who can win on handicap debut

Dam 5f/6f winner. Green and not given a hard time when fifth of 11 in novice at York (6f, good, 25/1) on debut 17 days ago, nearest finish. Sure to be much sharper for that. Showed promise at York but yard is still seeking first 2yo winner of the season.
3 4th (3) (8/1 +11%) Hot Property	8 8/1(+11%)	(3) Hot Property 8/1, Foaled April 15. 70,000 gns yearling, Too Darn Hot colt. Brother to 7f winner Sunblock and half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 7f Betty F and winner up to 1m Sound Angela, both useful. Dam winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner).

15:40 Hamilton Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

DOLCE VITTA made no mistake on her second career start when running out a comfortable winner over 6f at Redcar last month. She gets the vote to bring up the double for a trainer and jockey combination who are operating at a 21% strike rate when teaming up on turf this year. Proud To Be Fox made a promising debut when finishing fifth in a deeper race at York last month and a bold showing from him would be no surprise. Well-bred newcomers Catalyse and Motawahij also enter calculations.

DOLCE VITTA left her debut well behind when a wide-margin winner at Redcar 2 weeks ago and looks the one to beat under a penalty. Proud To Be Fox is the only other runner with experience having caught the eye at York last month. Motawahij and Catalyse were both big money buys at the Breeze Ups so this could turn out to be a decent novice.

In terms of form, DOLCE VITTA sets the standard. Catalyse (second choice) and Motawahij are interesting newcomers.

15:45 Fakenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (7/2 +13%) Enthused	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(1) Enthused 7/2, Thrived over hurdles for this yard last autumn. Poor display up in grade at Cheltenham 7 months ago but has a creditable Flat run behind him recently and can't be dismissed. Won five times over hurdles in 2023 and has been consistent on the Flat this spring.
6 1st (6) (5/4 +58%) King Otis	1.25 5/4(+58%)	(6) King Otis 5/4, Has improved for this yard, scoring from 9 lb out the handicap after 4 months off over C&D earlier this month. Clear of remainder when second at Huntingdon 6 days ago and fancied to resume winning ways. Won C&D seller last month and was close second at Huntingdon on Monday; up in grade today.
4 2nd (4) (5/2 -11%) Max Of Stars	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(4) Max Of Stars 5/2, Took very well to hurdling in the first half of last season, winning 4 times. Brace of runner-up efforts in listed company since and latest poor showing at Cheltenham no more than a blip. Should be back on track. Free-going front-runner who did very well as a juvenile hurdler last season (four wins).
5 3rd (5) (4/1 +56%) No Recollection	4 4/1(+56%)	(5) No Recollection 4/1, Modest handicap hurdler who was out of sorts when last seen in this sphere but has dropped in the weights as a result and ran creditably on the Flat recently. One to note in the market for bang in-form stable. Lost his way over hurdles last year but recent Flat form offers significant renewed hope.
3 4th (3) (10/1 +0%) Poncho	10 10/1(+0%)	(3) Poncho 10/1, Plumpton novice winner in January 2023 but has yet to make an impact in handicaps and didn't feature on Flat debut at Salisbury recently. Others make more appeal. Novice winner in early 2023 but unplaced in all four handicaps (fell twice).
2 5th (2) (10/1 -11%) Gaelik Coast	10 10/1(-11%)	(2) Gaelik Coast 10/1, Mixed record recently but wasn't disgraced last time and he's dropped in the weights, so can't be ruled out after a short break. Not the force of old but didn't run badly over 2m4f here two months ago; can't rule out.

15:45 Fakenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

King Otis is the one C&D winner in this field after scoring here last month and, although beaten since, he arrives at the top of his game. Enthused has to be of interest and has been in decent form on the Flat since his last start over hurdles, but preference is for MAX OF STARS. Last seen finishing seventh in a far better race at Cheltenham, she was second in a Listed race over hurdles at Doncaster in January and a repeat of that could be more than enough.

KING OTIS is on the up for James Owen and, having finished a clear second at Huntingdon on Monday, he's capable of getting back to winning ways if the race doesn't come too soon. Max of Stars is likely to bounce back from a poor run, so she's a danger if allowed an easy lead under Hughes, while market support for No Recollection would be significant.

On a track that is likely to suit her racing style, free-going front-runner MAX OF STARS is taken to record her fifth hurdling success.

15:50 Listowel Handicap 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (16/1 +0%) Rock Etoile	16 16/1(+0%)	(2) Rock Etoile 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Tenth of 14 in handicap at Tipperary (7.1f, soft, 9/1) 4 days ago, headed over 1f out and fading. Others make more appeal judged on recent efforts. Has got nothing going this year, including at Tipperary four days ago.
9 1st (9) (12/1 -71%) Daonethatgotaway	12 12/1(-71%)	(9) Daonethatgotaway 12/1, 12/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 19 days ago, nearest finish. Tongue strap on 1st time. Has good chance on pick of form. 0-10 but kept on well to finish fourth at Killarney with some of today's rivals behind.
14 2nd (14) (12/1 +70%) Lisamaria	12 12/1(+70%)	(14) Lisamaria 12/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Last of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, soft, 13/2) 4 days ago, struggling 3f out. Needs to leave that well behind if she's to figure turned out quickly. Made it 0-21 when stopping quickly at Tipperary four days ago.
5 3rd (5) (7/1 -17%) Breezy Zoff	7 7/1(-17%)	(5) Breezy Zoff 7/1, One win from 29 Flat runs. 12/1, creditable second of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, good) 13 days ago, running on. Possibilities with a repeat having slipped in the weights. Couldn't be certain to follow one good run with another and she's 1-29 overall.
8 4th (8) (5/2 +17%) Venetian	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(8) Venetian 5/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 13 in handicap (5/2) at Tipperary (9f, soft) 4 days ago, no impression on winner but keeping on. Of interest again from this much-reduced mark. Broke on terms the other day at Tipperary and duly ran a lot better to make the frame.
1 5th (1) (10/3 +63%) Bear Profit	3.333333 10/3(+63%)	(1) Bear Profit 10/3, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, respectable seventh of 17 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Better showing not ruled out from further reduced mark. Fair run over 1m2f at Navan last time; sprint winner so this shorter trip will be fine.
7 6th (7) (9/1 +25%) Kinda Tiny	9 9/1(+25%)	(7) Kinda Tiny 9/1, 10/1, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 19 days ago, brief headway under 3f out and no further impression. Needs to show more before becoming of interest. Twice well held since her heavy-ground win at Galway and might be on a tough mark.
4 7th (4) (13/2 +24%) Comfort Line	6.5 13/2(+24%)	(4) Comfort Line 13/2, Turned in best effort of the season when second at Naas (1m, soft) on penultimate run in April. Disappointed when seventh of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft, 17/2) 19 days ago. Refitting of a visor could have positive effect now. Running well this season and he got no luck at all last time at Killarney.
6 8th (6) (14/1 -40%) Han Solo	14 14/1(-40%)	(6) Han Solo 14/1, Ended a lengthy losing run in 25-runner Cork handicap (7f) with a bold front-running performance in September. Best not judged too harshly on final outing at Dundalk in November but possible he'll be better for the run here following 7 months off. Fourth in this last year after a similar break but he was 12lb lower back then.
12 9th (12) (33/1 -106%) Perfect Curves	33 33/1(-106%)	(12) Perfect Curves 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, fifth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Ran well for an 80-1 chance at Killarney, finishing fifth and just behind Daonethatgotaway.
3 10th (3) (25/1 +0%) Roman Harry	25 25/1(+0%)	(3) Roman Harry 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 18 in handicap (40/1) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 26 days ago, never a threat. Plenty to find on form. No better than midfielde in two handicaps and has to raise his game.
11 11th (11) (80/1 -60%) Susie Wosie	80 80/1(-60%)	(11) Susie Wosie 80/1, Won a Fairyhouse claimer on second of 2 starts for Noel Meade last July. However, well-beaten in pair of handicaps for James McAuley thereafter and he needs to hit the ground running starting out for new yard. Claiming winner; only had four races and she's now on her third trainer.
13 12th (13) (66/1 -100%) Zentopia	66 66/1(-100%)	(13) Zentopia 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Dundalk (7f). Off 16 months. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Lightly raced and has ability, but long absence to overcome in first-time cheekpieces.
10 13th (10) (50/1 -150%) Cosmic Lady	50 50/1(-150%)	(10) Cosmic Lady 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 6 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Mrs J. Harrington. Others more persuasive. Limited maiden for Jessica Harrington and was moved on for 4,000 euros.

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

COMFORT LINE won twice over a mile at Dundalk last winter and went close again over the trip when beating all bar Moutarde on his penultimate start in a 19-runner event at Naas. The Ado McGuinness-trained gelding didn't enjoy any luck in running at Killarney last time and remains on a competitive mark. Breezy Zoff enters calculations of his second to River Derwent at Roscommon last month, while Venetian, who twice as a juvenile for Mark Johnston, has dropped down to an attractive rating as evidenced by his second to Status Green when well supported at Tipperary earlier this week.

VENETIAN has fallen plenty in the weights and ran his best race upon joining his present stable when second at Tipperary 4 days ago. Again partnered by Colin Keane, he can make a bold bid to cash in off his reduced mark. Daonethatgotaway and Breezy Zoff are others to consider, along with Comfort Line, who may be perked up by a switch of headgear.

The 7yo COMFORT LINE is thoroughly exposed but he just missed out at Naas before finding all trouble going at Killarney.

Form	Odds	Runs
10 (10) (9/2 -13%) Corsican Caper	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(10) Corsican Caper 9/2, Arrives in fine form, winning 3 of his last 5 starts, and proved better than ever when close second of 8 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to soft) 6 days ago, slowly away. Already successful over this longer trip, he looks sure to make another bold bid. Consistent stayer at this level; same mark as when just missing out at Leicester latest.
11 (11) (40/1 -21%) Tazaman	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Tazaman 40/1, C&D winner. 15/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f). Off 20 months. Rejoined yard after leaving Mark Loughnane and likely best watched on return to action. 1m4f-1m6f wins for Mark Loughnane; back with former yard after a layoff.
7 (7) (50/1 +0%) Pawpaw	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Pawpaw 50/1, 22/1, eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes turf debut. Poor on last Flat outing. Has fallen into serious decline since winning over fences last year for David Bridgwater.
1 1st (1) (17/2 +15%) Expressionless	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(1) Expressionless 17/2, Course winner. 9/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (14f, soft) 29 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Dual winner at about 1m; first run over this far when nearest at the finish at Thirsk.
5 2nd (5) (9/2 +10%) Marbuzet	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(5) Marbuzet 9/2, Dual winner over staying trips last term who built on reappearance effort when second of 8 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good) 20 days ago, sticking to task. Enters calculations. Consistent stayer who comes here on the back of a near-miss at Catterick.
2 3rd (2) (6/1 +45%) Merrijig	6 6/1(+45%)	(2) Merrijig 6/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, firm, 4/1) 15 days ago. Others more appealing. Nothing wrong with his mark but he could have run better the last twice.
13 4th (13) (6/1 +25%) Liberated Lad	6 6/1(+25%)	(13) Liberated Lad 6/1, Won here (10.2f) last summer and got back on the scoreboard at Chelmsford City over this trip in February. Arrives on back of good second in C&D handicap (good) last month and must enter calculations. Just denied in a sprint finish over C&D latest; a true gallop here would help.
9 5th (9) (11/1 -38%) Rock N Roll Pinkie	11 11/1(-38%)	(9) Rock N Roll Pinkie 11/1, Ran right up to best when second of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, firm, 25/1) 15 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and could be a player. Second in a higher grade on faster ground last time; sole win came on good to soft.
8 6th (8) (11/2 +31%) Swinging London	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(8) Swinging London 11/2, Consistent sort who made the frame again when good second of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. Went close at Pontefract but lacked concentration in the finish and he's now 1-28.
3 7th (3) (20/1 -67%) Grigio	20 20/1(-67%)	(3) Grigio 20/1, Winner at Kempton in February. 11/2, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 25 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and not ruled out. Better horse now than when last seen on turf given progress made on the AW.
12 8th (12) (9/1 +0%) Young Endless	9 9/1(+0%)	(12) Young Endless 9/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in April. Good second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 15/2) 17 days ago. Each-way claims. Solid run of form in staying AW handicaps; bit to prove on grass and off this mark.
4 9th (4) (33/1 -32%) Golden Delite	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Golden Delite 33/1, Hooded for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 72 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly up in trip. Still looking for first success. Best run was last season for a different yard; time on his side to turn a corner.
6 \|DQ\| (6) (9/2 +40%) Surrey Belle	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(6) Surrey Belle 9/2, 2/1, third of 4 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 34 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not taken lightly. 1m6f AW winner; has comparable turf form and could be fitter than last time.

15:55 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

A host of in-form rivals line up for this contest, with a tentative nod in the direction of MARBUZET, who was unlucky to be touched off over 2m at Catterick last time. Tim Easterby's runner has been raised just 1lb for for that neck defeat, which may not be enough to stop him from getting back to winning ways. Swinging London shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when beaten just half a length over 1m4f at Pontefract, while Corsican Caper should also be in the shake-up.

CORSICAN CAPER is at the top of his game and would likely have recorded his fifth success of the year but for a sluggish start at Leicester earlier this week. He can make amends here. Marbuzet and Liberated Lad should also go well.

Tim Easterby's MARBUZET usually gives his running in staying handicaps and he arrives here on the back of a near-miss at Catterick.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 (6) (11/1 -10%) Silver King	11 11/1(-10%)	(6) Silver King 11/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Bit below form eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, heavy, 80/1) 30 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Others preferred. H'cap hurdle winner has had a few spins over fences; wouldn't want the ground too dry.
5 1st (5) (7/1 +7%) Sea Music	7 7/1(+7%)	(5) Sea Music 7/1, Fairly useful winner at 23f over hurdles but diappointing thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago, possibly amiss. Remains with potential now sent chasing. Second in a point and easy winner of 2m7f maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe; switches to fences.
1 2nd (1) (6/4 +25%) Dutch Schultz	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(1) Dutch Schultz 6/4, Fairly useful chaser who has finished runner-up on his last 3 starts, latest when close second of 4 in novice chase at Tramore (15.5f, good to soft, 2/1) 42 days ago. Worth another crack at this longer trip and holds strong claims. Hood back on. Three seconds in handicap/novice company; steps up in trip and hood back on.
9 3rd (9) (10/3 +17%) Henning	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(9) Henning 10/3, Fairly useful hurdler who produced her best effort to date in this sphere when second of 10 in novice chase at Killarney (20.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Likely contender. Plenty of chase experience although her jumping can be hit and miss; fair second last time.
4 4th (4) (11/1 -83%) Ochocinco	11 11/1(-83%)	(4) Ochocinco 11/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 25/1, tenth of 11 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft). Off 6 months. Market check advised on chase debut. Maiden hurdle winner; some good chasers in his family and yard has turned the corner.
2 5th (2) (16/1 -45%) Ebasari	16 16/1(-45%)	(2) Ebasari 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Below par at Naas latest but had been in good form previously and must enter calculations on chase debut. Dual hurdles winner and rated 116 in that sphere; Flat-bred now makes chase debut.
8 6th (8) (15/2 +46%) Ginnets Girl	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(8) Ginnets Girl 15/2, Fair hurdler. Back from 5 months off when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.4f, soft) 44 days ago and warrants respect on switch to larger obstacles. Bumper winner landed 3m1f maiden hurdle here last summer; chase debut.
3 7th (3) (8/1 +0%) Hand Over Fist	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Hand Over Fist 8/1, Two wins from 5 runs last season. Fair winner at 24f over hurdles. 11/2, pulled up in novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) on debut over fences when last seen in November. Bit to prove on return. Dual hurdles winner makes chase debut; ground suits and ran well first time out last year.
7 8th (7) (66/1 -32%) Tippin And Tappin	66 66/1(-32%)	(7) Tippin And Tappin 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Thurles (16.2f, soft). Off 6 months. Improvement required on chasing bow. Modest form over hurdles and in points; makes little appeal.

16:00 Kilbeggan Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DUTCH SCHULTZ stands out here with his chase mark of 120 in a race restricted to horses rated 116 or less over timber. The Golden Horn gelding has been runner-up on his last three outings over fences and this looks like a nice opportunity now to get a deserved victory. Henning also has placed form over fences and chased home a smart sort in Saylavee in Killarney three weeks ago. Her mares allowance leaves her with a nice weight. Sea Music was well beaten on his return over timber at Killarney but had some nice form last year and has point-to-point experience. He's one to note on his chase debut.

DUTCH SCHULTZ has come close the last twice and can deservedly open his account over the larger obstacles here. Henning looks the obvious danger on form, whilst Ebasari may be the pick of the chase debutants.

Experienced pair Dutch Schultz and Henning have obvious claims but HAND OVER FIST is bred for chasing and will like the ground

16:10 Hamilton Handicap (Class 3) 11f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (7/2 +30%) Whathappensinvegas	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(3) Whathappensinvegas 7/2, Career best when off the mark 12-runner handicap at Newmarket (1¼m, good, 25/1) 15 days ago, a prominent ride up in trip appearing to suit very well. Should remain competitive up 3 lb. Engaged 4.00 Musselburgh Saturday. Surprise winner at Newmarket (1m2f) last month; creditable 2nd at Musselburgh yesterday.
2 2nd (2) (9/4 +50%) Victory Shout	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(2) Victory Shout 9/4, Won a novice at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in September and all the better for return when just edged out by the odds-on favourite here (12.1f) on Wednesday. Player off the same mark. Clear of third when close second of four here on Wednesday; competes off same mark again.
1 3rd (1) (11/8 +0%) Align The Stars	1.375 11/8(+0%)	(1) Align The Stars 11/8, Sea The Stars colt who has finished runner-up on 4 of his 5 starts, improving for the longer trip when second of 8 in handicap at York (11.8f, good) 17 days ago, giving best only late on to a smart prospect. Can do better again. 0-5 now but ran big race in defeat at York last month and commands respect here.
4 4th (4) (7/1 -100%) Alacrity	7 7/1(-100%)	(4) Alacrity 7/1, Improved again when winning 12-runner maiden at Lingfield (10f, AW, 11/1) final 2-y-o start. Well backed ahead of handicap debut/comeback but could manage only fourth of 7 at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 13 days ago, one paced. AW maiden winner; only fourth of seven on seasonal/handicap debut but still has potential.

16:10 Hamilton Handicap (Class 3) 11f Race Class Flow

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

It is hard to look past ALIGN THE STARS, who was last seen finishing an excellent second in a warm contest at York last month and a repeat of that display would be more than enough for him to shed the maiden tag. Alacrity was the subject of significant market support when she could only manage fourth on her handicap debut at Windsor recently, but she can serve it up to the selection and prove the money wasn't totally misplaced. Victory Shout is also noteworthy for the in-form Karl Burke team.

ALIGN THE STARS was an excellent second behind a smart prospect in what is traditionally a strong 3-y-o handicap at York last month so is fancied to open his account in this lesser affair. Victory Shout was only just edged out off this mark here on Wednesday so is next best.

Topweight ALIGN THE STARS almost certainly bumped into a smart rival when a clear second in a competitive race at York last month.

16:15 Fakenham Handicap Chase (Class 3) 21f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (9/1 +10%) Killer Clown	9 9/1(+10%)	(2) Killer Clown 9/1, On a good mark based on peak form but he hasn't scored for over 2 years and ran no more than respectably when third in Chepstow handicap (19.5f) last time. Cheekpieces back on. Kept on for respectable third at Chepstow in April but is evidently not the force of old.
6 1st (6) (10/3 +5%) Riskintheground	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(6) Riskintheground 10/3, Showed fair winning form over hurdles and ran to a similar level when making his fifth start in this sphere a winning one in Hereford handicap (20.9f, good to soft) 9 days ago. This is more competitive but he must enter calculations. Came good over fences at fifth attempt, in four-runner race at Hereford nine days ago.
9 2nd (9) (13/2 +19%) Time To Bite	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(9) Time To Bite 13/2, Back on the up, under positive tactics, when winning 10-runner handicap chase at Newton Abbot (21f, good to firm, 8/1) 13 days ago, kept up to work. 7 lb higher and in a stronger contest here, however. Made all at Newton Abbot last month but will find it hard to dominate this stronger field.
3 3rd (3) (33/1 -175%) Tardree	33 33/1(-175%)	(3) Tardree 33/1, All 6 career victories have come in small fields and he was more miss than hit (mostly over fences) last season. Plenty to prove at present. Not firing on all cylinders in early part of last season and made low-key return in April.
4 4th (4) (9/1 +25%) Goose Man	9 9/1(+25%)	(4) Goose Man 9/1, Useful chaser for Tom Taaffe who was able to defy a lay-off of fully 32 months to win selling handicap hurdle on the bridle at Huntingdon in November. Rather gone backwards since, however, well held in a Ludlow hunter chase latest. Good fourth in Newbury handicap in November but recent hunter chase form reads less well.
8 5th (8) (10/1 -43%) Ingennio	10 10/1(-43%)	(8) Ingennio 10/1, Hacked up in a selling handicap here in April and followed up over C&D in decisive fashion 11 days later. Off career-high mark on debut for new yard but can't be ruled out. Signed off for Richard Hobson with two C&D wins in April; up in grade for stable debut.
5 6th (5) (14/1 +0%) Gloire D'athon	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Gloire D'athon 14/1, Prolific early in his chasing career (winning 5 of his first 6 starts) but lost his way last season. Tumbled down the weights and hinted at a revival over a longer trip at Uttoxeter last month but percentage call is to look elsewhere. Won two valuable 2m4f handicaps last spring but has been out of form since.
7 7th (7) (9/2 +18%) My Gift To You	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(7) My Gift To You 9/2, Immediate improvement upon joining James Owen, scoring for fifth time at Catterick (19.2f) in March and backing it up with solid placed efforts at Fontwell (19.5f) and Cartmel (21.2f). Takes on better company now but should give another good account. Five wins (one over C&D) for this yard since last summer; ran well in defeat last week.
1 \|U\| (1) (9/4 +25%) Way Out	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(1) Way Out 9/4, Three-time winner over hurdles who has upped his game since switched to this sphere, latest when good second of 6 in novice chase (7/1) at Warwick (20f, good) 22 days ago. Fairly treated, back handicapping, and is one for shortlist. Close second in Warwick novice last month and remains on a good mark; strong chance.

16:15 Fakenham Handicap Chase (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Time To Bite looks likely to take them along here given those tactics were employed when he won at Newton Abbot last time, but an extra 7lb from the handicapper means another step forward is needed. Riskintheground also won last time out at Hereford and he makes a strong case off just 4lb higher, but a chance is taken on WAY OUT. Second and beaten less than a length at Warwick latest, that form behind Boombawn reads well in the context of this race.

WAY OUT should have conditions to suit and will appreciate the return to this longer trip on the back of his solid Warwick run. He gets the nod. Riskintheground and My Gift To You are feared most.

This looks good for WAY OUT (nap), who ran well in defeat in a Warwick novice three weeks ago and remains on a good mark.

Form	Odds	Runs
12 (12) (25/1 +0%) Talking Tough	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Talking Tough 25/1, Two wins from 68 Flat runs. Fifty one runs since last win in 2020. 66/1, creditable eighth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, soft) 4 days ago. More needed Rarely wins at the best of times (2-68) and he's 6lb out of the weights here.
7 1st (7) (14/1 +58%) The Blue Panther	14 14/1(+58%)	(7) The Blue Panther 14/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (50/1) at Dundalk (8f). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving James Andrew Fahey. Tongue strap back on. Not all that appealing. Record of 3-46 and well below his best when restricted to four appearances last year.
2 2nd (2) (13/2 -44%) Kodiac Prince	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(2) Kodiac Prince 13/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 5/1, respectable third of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Very much one to consider. Dropped back to a more realistic mark and has made the frame in 1m handicaps last twice.
4 3rd (4) (11/2 -38%) Lauroline	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(4) Lauroline 11/2, Creditable third of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 10/3) 50 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Patrick Murtagh. Tongue strap on 1st time. Respected. Placed a few times for Murtagh and interesting to see what Paul Flynn can do with her.
11 4th (11) (9/2 +59%) Epaulawn	4.5 9/2(+59%)	(11) Epaulawn 9/2, Respectable fifth of 17 in handicap (11/2) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Can make presence felt. Made some progress from off the pace on his recent starts but still a maiden.
1 5th (1) (9/1 +44%) Dumb Love	9 9/1(+44%)	(1) Dumb Love 9/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good to soft, 66/1) 28 days ago. Back down in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Below her best of late but 1m2f perhaps a stretch last time and her mark continues to fall.
5 6th (5) (10/1 -186%) Lohengrin	10 10/1(-186%)	(5) Lohengrin 10/1, 100/1, excellent second of 13 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago, finishing strongly. Worth a chance to go one better. Ex-Haggas horse; near miss at Cork over 7f was his best run yet for this yard.
14 7th (14) (22/1 +45%) Thirtysecondstreet	22 22/1(+45%)	(14) Thirtysecondstreet 22/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Once placed on the AW over 6f; has no recent form claims from 7lb out of the weights.
9 8th (9) (22/1 -38%) Sunset Nova	22 22/1(-38%)	(9) Sunset Nova 22/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap at Limerick (6.7f, soft, 25/1) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. High-mileage 8yo who does most of his racing on the AW these days.
13 9th (13) (11/1 +67%) Tasmanian Girl	11 11/1(+67%)	(13) Tasmanian Girl 11/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 66/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at Tipperary (9f, soft) 4 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Not dismissed. 0-20 and almost certainly flattered to finish so close in a 1m1f maiden four days ago.
8 10th (8) (6/1 +33%) Angel On Fire	6 6/1(+33%)	(8) Angel On Fire 6/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap (11/2) at Tipperary (9f, soft) 4 days ago. Others are more persuasive. After good runs at Leopardstown and Sligo he dropped his guard at Tipperary the other day.
6 11th (6) (17/2 +47%) Relevant Range	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(6) Relevant Range 17/2, 100/1, twelfth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Fair on the Flat, respectable on last Flat outing. Can't be ruled out back in this sphere. The odd bit of competitive form in 1m handicaps and has dropped to a career-low mark.
3 12th (3) (11/1 +21%) Bright Start	11 11/1(+21%)	(3) Bright Start 11/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021.

First run for yard after leaving Gearoid Patrick Brouder. Makes handicap debut. Very weak form in maidens and makes handicap debut after a mammoth absence.
10 14th (10) (150/1 -127%) Cloughaneely Mor	150 150/1(-127%)	(10) Cloughaneely Mor 150/1, 150/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Cork (10.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Down in trip. Poor performer with a mark of 29 so she's 18lb out of the handicap.

16:20 Listowel Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KODIAC PRINCE, a former runner-up at this track, can get back to winning ways. The Thomas Cleary-trained gelding spent much of last season racing in a higher grade but shaped well when reaching the frame on his latest two runs dropped to this lower level. A sixth career success could be in the offing. The Blue Panther has to be noted on his first start for Jennifer Lynch. Although losing form for his original trainer, then failing to fire for another, he has always run well at this venue. Much lower in the weights these days, the six-year-old could be reignited by this tight turning track. Lauroline, another making her debut for a new trainer, is interesting for the in-form Paul Flynn yard.

LOHENGRIN raised his game and looked ahead of his mark when a fast-finishing second in a Cork handicap 12 days ago and, if he can back that up, he's the one to beat in a race that should be run to suit. Kodiac Prince is a formidable opponent having run well at Killarney recently and Lauroline is worthy of respect debuting for a new yard.

Improving one off Johnny Murtagh is asking a lot but Paul Flynn's new recruit LAUROLINE (nap) has knocked on the door a few times.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (8/1 -23%) Aerion Power	8 8/1(-23%)	(1) Aerion Power 8/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Last of 17 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 10/1) 47 days ago. Others appeal more. Low-key seasonal debut in April but he's dropping in class and should leave that behind.
9 2nd (9) (9/4 +18%) Great Blasket	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(9) Great Blasket 9/4, Thriving of late and completed a hat-tyrick in 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 15 days ago. Up another 3 lb but still looks the one to beat. Flourished in blinkers & made his ground up easily latest; bold bid for 4-timer expected.
6 3rd (6) (7/1 +36%) Cruyff Turn	7 7/1(+36%)	(6) Cruyff Turn 7/1, C&D winner. Below form eighth of 17 in handicap at York (7.9f, good, 33/1) 17 days ago. Now below last winning mark though so can't be discounted. C&D winner; not shone so far in 2024 but this is weaker and he's on a dangerous mark.
3 4th (3) (7/1 +36%) Brunch	7 7/1(+36%)	(3) Brunch 7/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 25/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Haydock (8f, heavy) 8 months ago. Others more persuasive. On a losing run but on a good mark, goes well fresh and his yard is in form; interesting.
8 5th (8) (4/1 +33%) First Officer	4 4/1(+33%)	(8) First Officer 4/1, Latest win at Windsor in April. Solid fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm, 10/3) 22 days ago. This course scorer is well in the mix. Two solid runs over 1m2f this year but needs more back at 1m and upped in class.
7 6th (7) (14/1 -27%) Dawn Of Liberation	14 14/1(-27%)	(7) Dawn Of Liberation 14/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 13/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time with work to do. Below par returned to turf 13 days ago and connections now reach for headgear.
5 7th (5) (17/2 -31%) Farhh To Shy	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(5) Farhh To Shy 17/2, Good sixth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to firm, 12/1) 22 days ago. Can make presence felt. Running herself back into form and she's on a dangerous mark; strong traveller; e-w claims.
4 8th (4) (40/1 -233%) Excel Power	40 40/1(-233%)	(4) Excel Power 40/1, Eight wins from 30 Flat runs but only seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 62 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Chance on his best form but not hit top gear in 2024; drying ground would suit.
2 9th (2) (16/1 -60%) All The King's Men	16 16/1(-60%)	(2) All The King's Men 16/1, Thirteenth of 15 in handicap (10/1) at Meydan (8f, good) 86 days ago so more is required. Two 7f AW wins in 2023; struggled in Dubai over the winter; needs to step up on turf form.

16:25 Nottingham Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Having been raised 12lb in the ratings after his hat-trick of wins this term, the progressive GREAT BLASKET can continue his winning thread. Gina Mangan's claim can help to negate the latest 3lb rise after his short-head success over 1m at Newmarket last month. First Officer should also be on the scene with a drop in trip likely to suit, while Aerion Power finished fourth in last year's Royal Hunt Cup off the same mark and he is also worthy of respect.

GREAT BLASKET is on a roll and a 3 lb rise for his latest victory at Newmarket doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from extending his successful spree to four. First Officer has winning form here and could emerge as the main danger, with Farhh To Shy and Cruyff Turn appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

The strong-travelling Farhh To Shy can go well but BRUNCH returns with his yard going well and he may exploit his reduced mark.

16:30 Kilbeggan Handicap Chase 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (3/1 +60%) Mousey Brown	3 3/1(+60%)	(9) Mousey Brown 3/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Four wins from 10 runs last season. 25/1, eighteenth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Could have more to offer over fences. 22lb lower over fences with mark based on three runs, big chance if handling ground.
4 2nd (4) (14/1 +13%) Optional Mix	14 14/1(+13%)	(4) Optional Mix 14/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Has been out of form as a hurdler/chaser for a considerable time, fair hurdles run latest.
3 3rd (3) (14/1 -40%) Somptueux	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) Somptueux 14/1, Useful chaser at best. Runner-up in point last time (Jan 2024). Hard to fancy unless there is market support for him from a lowly mark. Struggled in hunter chases last spring after point win, charity race winner at Punchestown.
2 4th (2) (12/1 -200%) The Gradual Slope	12 12/1(-200%)	(2) The Gradual Slope 12/1, 22/1, career best when winning 21-runner handicap chase at Punchestown (31.3f, soft) 29 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and he'll surely find it too sharp. Stayed a lot further than than this when winning at Punchestown but is trip-versatile.
8 5th (8) (33/1 -32%) Marelly	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Marelly 33/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap chase (10/1) at Limerick (17.4f, heavy) 44 days ago. Two hurdle wins in 2022, not yet at the same level chasing, improvement needed.
7 6th (7) (3/1 +50%) Whatsafellatodo	3 3/1(+50%)	(7) Whatsafellatodo 3/1, Creditable second of 8 in handicap chase at Ballinrobe (19.2f, good, 6/4) 6 days ago. Shortlist material. Has made the frame in two recent outings at Ballinrobe, beaten favourite both times.
6 7th (6) (11/1 -57%) A Mere Bagatelle	11 11/1(-57%)	(6) A Mere Bagatelle 11/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase (7/1) at Killarney (20.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Far from sure to be in the same mood, although made all in this 12 months ago. Winner here 12 months ago, up 9lb for Killarney win but chance has to be taken seriously.
10 8th (10) (7/2 +42%) General Clermont	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(10) General Clermont 7/2, 3/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Limerick (17.7f, good) 10 days ago. 8 lb rise to overcome but hard to fault the start he's made over fences. Had plenty in reserve when winning at Limerick and can remain competitive off 8lb higher.
11 \|U\| (11) (28/1 -12%) Lake Chad	28 28/1(-12%)	(11) Lake Chad 28/1, 9/1, tailed-off ninth of 11 to A Mere Bagatelle in handicap chase at Killarney (20.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Tough to assess at present. Infrequent winner, poor chase form since a good run over hurdles at Thurles in February.
5 \|PU\| (5) (11/1 -120%) Time Marches On	11 11/1(-120%)	(5) Time Marches On 11/1, 17/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap chase at Tipperary (16.5f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Back up in trip. More needed again. Restored to best when producing a game display to win at Tipperary last month, 6lb higher.
1 \|PU\| (1) (22/1 +12%) Say It Ain't So	22 22/1(+12%)	(1) Say It Ain't So 22/1, Latest win in chase at Ballinrobe in May 2023. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Listowel (17f, soft, 9/1) 8 months ago. Fading when making a bad mistake two out at the Listowel festival and absent since.

16:30 Kilbeggan Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MOUSEY BROWN looks very well handicapped here on her return to chasing. The Dermot McLoughlin-trained mare has won twice over hurdles since gaining an initial mark over fences last autumn. Able to race off 22lb lower in this discipline, the seven-year-old can exploit such a rating. Recent Limerick winner General Clermont couldn't have done it any easier on the day. Although hit with a subsequent 8lb hike, the Davy Fitzgerald-trained gelding should remain quite competitive. The Gradual Slope won over a marathon trip at Punchestown last time but appears versatile with regard to trip. Having got his head in front for the first time over fences, the Sean O'Brien-trained gelding will be full of confidence.

WHATSAFELLATODO bumped into a formerly useful sort back on song in a pretty good veterans' handicap at Ballinrobe last week and could be the way to go. Mousey Brown, General Clermont and last year's winner A Mere Bagatelle are feared.

Four last-time-out handicap winners clash here. Best of them may be GENERAL CLERMONT who scored with plenty to spare at Limerick.

16:40 Hamilton Handicap (Class 3) 13f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 (3) (25/1 -79%) Flash Bardot	25 25/1(-79%)	(3) Flash Bardot 25/1, Won 5 times in 2023, latterly at Catterick (12f, heavy) in October and she again handled conditions best when seeing off a host of similarly useful fillies on return at Doncaster (11.9f, soft) in April. Not so good at York subsequently. Engaged 5.15 Epsom Saturday. Strongly considered if the ground is soft; well held at Epsom yesterday.
11 1st (11) (28/1 +15%) Dark Moon Rising	28 28/1(+15%)	(11) Dark Moon Rising 28/1, Got his head back in front when accounting for 8 rivals from 2 lb higher mark at York (11.8f) last summer. Well held on return at Thirsk but he did shape better than distance beaten suggests in big field York handicap 18 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces. Won at York (1m4f, good) last July; 2lb lower today, having failed to figure this season.
2 2nd (2) (15/8 +44%) Fairbanks	1.875 15/8(+44%)	(2) Fairbanks 15/8, Most progressive equipped with a visor, winning 3 times and showed benefit of his reappearance run when running out a comfortable winner at Newcastle (12.5f) 3 weeks ago. Full effective on turf and likely he has more to offer. Leading claims. Won four of last five, all at about 1m4f but 1m5f should not be a problem; up another 7lb.
10 3rd (10) (11/1 +45%) Faylaq	11 11/1(+45%)	(10) Faylaq 11/1, Unreliable sort. Thirty one runs since last win in 2019. 4/1, 3½ lengths fifth of 6 to Geremia in handicap at this course (12.1f, good) 16 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Vulnerable again for win purposes. Well capable of being seriously involved but he's failed to score since 2019.
4 4th (4) (9/2 +36%) Too Friendly	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(4) Too Friendly 9/2, Won 3 times over hurdles for current yard last summer and added to his tally back on the level in 2m Kempton handicap in March. Well supported both starts upon returning to the Flat, not well served by steady pace when runner-up to Hope You Can Run at Newmarket (14f) 14 days ago. Respected. Close 2nd of 6 to Hope You Can Run at Newmarket (1m6f) two weeks ago; headgear is removed.
12 5th (12) (16/1 -14%) Dark Jedi	16 16/1(-14%)	(12) Dark Jedi 16/1, Course winner who capitalised on further reduced mark when winning 8-runner handicap at Thirsk (14f, soft, 4/1) 29 days ago, in command entering final 1f. 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent him going well at this shorter trip. Ended a long losing sequence in good style at Thirsk (1m6f, good to soft) four weeks ago.
8 6th (8) (7/1 +30%) Geremia	7 7/1(+30%)	(8) Geremia 7/1, Unreliable sort who stepped up on his yard debut effort when winning 6-runner handicap at this course (12.1f, good) 16 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Capital Theory, staying on well. Did well to win given how the race developed but not sure to be in same form here. Mowed down Capital Theory from the back in six-runner race (1m4f) 16 days ago; considered.
7 7th (7) (22/1 +12%) Maasai Mara	22 22/1(+12%)	(7) Maasai Mara 22/1, Fairly useful on Flat for John & Thady Gosden and bright start over hurdles for present yard earlier this year, winning at Catterick (15.7f) in February. Respectable return to the Flat when 2¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Geremia in handicap at this course (12.1f, good) 16 days ago. Fourth of six to Geremia here 16 days ago suggests he's not on a great mark.
6 8th (6) (12/1 -33%) Hope You Can Run	12 12/1(-33%)	(6) Hope You Can Run 12/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Newmarket (14f, good to firm, 4/1) 14 days ago by ½ length from Too Friendly, holding on gamely. Little bit more on his plate here upped 3 lb. Back to form at Newmarket (1m6f) latest start, going on 3f out and seeing off Too Friendly.
1 9th (1) (28/1 -75%) Wickywickywheels	28 28/1(-75%)	(1) Wickywickywheels 28/1, Won 5 handicaps here and a listed race at Abu Dhabi in 2022 but found things tougher in various company last season, well-beaten in the Ebor at York on final outing. Mark has returned ahead of return/yard debut at least. Rather went off the boil (absent since August) for Jim Goldie but handicapper relenting.
9 10th (9) (12/1 +14%) Toshizou	12 12/1(+14%)	(9) Toshizou 12/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. 11/2, creditable third of 20 in handicap at York (11.8f, good) 18 days ago, headed 1f out. Each-way claims from his reduced mark now upped further in trip. 3rd of 20 at York (1m4f) on latest but he's unraced beyond that; no win since 2020.
13 11th (13) (28/1 -100%) Simple Star	28 28/1(-100%)	(13) Simple Star 28/1, Course winner who resumed from 8 months off with an excellent second of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to soft) in April. Well below that level when fifth of 6 to Capital Theory in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Bounce back called for. Close second at Musselburgh this April, two weeks before a disappointing show over C&D.
5 12th (5) (15/2 +6%) Capital Theory	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(5) Capital Theory 15/2, With his reappearance run behind him, posted a career best when bagging 6-runner C&D handicap and ran well from 5 lb higher mark when second behind Geremia back here (12f) 16 days ago. Should give another good account. Ready C&D winner early last month and creditable second to Geremia here 12 days later.

16:40 Hamilton Handicap (Class 3) 13f Race Class Flow

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

Fairbanks blotted his copybook on his seasonal reappearance when finishing sixth in a Thirsk handicap over 1m4f in April, but he bounced straight back to form with a comfortable victory over the same trip at Newcastle the following month. Preference, though, is for GEREMIA. Iain Jardine's gelding came from last to first to win going away over 1m4f here last month and, with the potential of more to come upped further in trip, he can defy a 4lb rise. Hope You Can Run and Too Friendly are closely matched on recent form and cannot be overlooked lightly.

FAIRBANKS showed the benefit of his reappearance run when resuming winning ways in good style at Newcastle 3 weeks ago and, with the distinct possibility of more to come from Andrew Balding's 4-y-o, he earns the vote to defy a further rise in the weights back on turf. Too Friendly likely has more to offer on the level and having not been seen to best effect last time is feared most. Charlie Johnston's pair Hope You Can Run and Capital Theory can also get involved.

Lots of these could have a say but preference is for FAIRBANKS ahead of Geremia.

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (22/1 -175%) Fine By Her	22 22/1(-175%)	(5) Fine By Her 22/1, Bounced back to form when doubling tally in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ludlow (23.8f) a year ago but no show in 2 chases after. Course winner over further. Course winner over hurdles; not seen since two non-completions over fences in the winter.
3 2nd (3) (7/4 +56%) Star Legend	1.75 7/4(+56%)	(3) Star Legend 7/4, C&D maiden winner who has been in reasonable form on the level. Needs a bit of improvement to defy this mark, though. C&D winner in November; back over hurdles after creditable Flat run last month; big player.
1 3rd (1) (4/1 -45%) Nickelforce	4 4/1(-45%)	(1) Nickelforce 4/1, Off the mark at Plumpton over this trip in January and creditable efforts over further since. Leading claims back in distance under good rider with fine record here. Consistent 5yo who has twice performed well since his breakthrough win in January.
2 4th (2) (12/1 -140%) Beholden	12 12/1(-140%)	(2) Beholden 12/1, Dual winner in 2021 but lightly raced since with a patchy profile, shaping well at Wincanton after another 8 months off, but not so good at Hereford 3 weeks ago. Others safer. Lightly raced in recent years but back from latest layoff with two decent runs this spring.
7 5th (7) (6/1 -9%) State Of Bliss	6 6/1(-9%)	(7) State Of Bliss 6/1, Won 4-runner 2m maiden hurdle at this meeting last season. Returned to form over this trip at Uttoxeter a fortnight ago after another wind op and player off 3 lb lower. Has gone the wrong way since his small-field maiden win here a year ago; others preferred.
9 6th (9) (6/1 +63%) Baby Sham	6 6/1(+63%)	(9) Baby Sham 6/1, Successful twice during middle part of 2023, including over C&D, but struggled to land a telling blow since. Has dropped plenty in the weights. Won twice last spring (once over C&D) but has looked out of sorts this year.
8 7th (8) (16/1 +60%) Rafferty	16 16/1(+60%)	(8) Rafferty 16/1, Fair chaser at best, winning twice in 2021/22. Lightly raced and disappointing since, though. Regressive 10yo who was badly out of form over hurdles and fences last season.
4 8th (4) (33/1 -106%) Complete Fantasy	33 33/1(-106%)	(4) Complete Fantasy 33/1, Modest maiden hurdler unproven beyond 2m. Last of 2 finishers in a point 7 weeks ago and hard to fancy. 0-25 under all codes when trained in Ireland and not easy to weigh up on this stable debut.
6 \|U\| (6) (8/1 -23%) Into The Sunset	8 8/1(-23%)	(6) Into The Sunset 8/1, Dual winner in 2022. Missed 18 months and well held both starts at Newcastle this year. Back up in trip now and on a tempting mark. Safely held on last two appearances but today's much quicker ground will suit much better.

16:45 Fakenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Star Legend has been running well enough on the Flat and could go well with the return to this trip expected to be in his favour after failing to see out almost 3m here in November. Baby Sham has to be considered, but INTO THE SUNSET intrigues most. Not at his best so far this year, his 2022 form gives him every chance with the step up in trip a positive.

NICKELFORCE will be well suited by the return to this trip and won't lack for assistance up top so he's a clear choice. State of Bliss is feared most ahead of Into The Sunset.

The suggestion is INTO THE SUNSET, who is well handicapped and can come back to form now he's back on good ground.

16:50 Listowel Handicap 16f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 (6) (12/1 +0%) Molly's Gamble	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) Molly's Gamble 12/1, 25/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Cork (10.2f, good to soft) 37 days ago, having to pick way through. Significantly up in trip. Deserves respect for all that the trip is an unknown. Second run back for new yard was encouraging at Cork in April so not one to rule out.
15 (15) (16/1 -33%) Grann's Boy	16 16/1(-33%)	(15) Grann's Boy 16/1, 8/1, very good 1½ lengths third of 14 to Global Export in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Not taken lightly. Weighted to reverse Navan form with Global Export but doesn't look as strong a stayer.
16 (16) (50/1 +0%) Sioux Grit	50 50/1(+0%)	(16) Sioux Grit 50/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 50/1, 10 lengths tenth of 14 to Global Export in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Difficult ask. RESERVE. 0-17 on the Flat and 15lb wrong here; reserve.
4 1st (4) (10/3 +52%) Sign From Above	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(4) Sign From Above 10/3, Below form twelfth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft, 20/1) 31 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, so needs considering. Restricted campaign hurdling of late but considered back on the Flat with ground to suit.
11 2nd (11) (9/2 +40%) Killeemore Lad	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(11) Killeemore Lad 9/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, very good second of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft, 50/1) 31 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time on the Flat. Has to be taken seriously. Good form hurdling of late; big chance back on the Flat off fair mark.
10 3rd (10) (8/1 -60%) Gracesolution	8 8/1(-60%)	(10) Gracesolution 8/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 14 in handicap at Navan (13f, good, 4/1) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Can make presence felt. Model of consistency in defeat but continues to inch up the handicap.
8 4th (8) (10/3 +17%) Global Export	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(8) Global Export 10/3, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Navan (13f, good, 7/2) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Should give another good account. Navan winner upped in grade off 7lb higher but bold bid expected.
12 5th (12) (17/2 +66%) Metamorpheus	8.5 17/2(+66%)	(12) Metamorpheus 17/2, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Eighth of 10 in maiden (150/1) at Cork (10.2f, good) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Not easy to make a case for. Definitely worth a market check on handicap debut here with yard in good form.
14 6th (14) (25/1 +24%) Dancing Cloud	25 25/1(+24%)	(14) Dancing Cloud 25/1, 4/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Gemma Tutty. Placed over this trip on AW when last seen in November; GBP5,000 buy since.
7 7th (7) (25/1 -79%) Vidisha	25 25/1(-79%)	(7) Vidisha 25/1, Won 6-runner maiden at Auch (13.2f, good). Off 13 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Jean-Claude Rouget. Stable in good form. Wears hood. Makes handicap debut. More required. 1m5f French maiden winner; hooded on yard debut; potential improver.
2 8th (2) (40/1 -186%) Cape Bridgewater	40 40/1(-186%)	(2) Cape Bridgewater 40/1, 100/1, bit below form eighth of 17 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19f, soft) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive. Ordinary form hurdling but returns to Flat off a handy-looking mark so don't rule out.
9 9th (9) (16/1 -14%) Rumi	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Rumi 16/1, Twentieth of 24 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Fair on the Flat, career best when winning on last Flat run. Warrants consideration returning to this sphere. Gowran winner back from short break; one to consider with trip/ground to suit.
1 10th (1) (22/1 -83%) Caradoc	22 22/1(-83%)	(1) Caradoc 22/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2019. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Killarney (16.8f, soft) 19 days ago, very slowly away. Last month's debut at this trip at Killarney inconclusive; remains opposable.
13 11th (13) (11/1 +45%) Mighty Mo Missouri	11 11/1(+45%)	(13) Mighty Mo Missouri 11/1, 33/1 and visored for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, heavy) 127 days ago. Off 127 days. Yard in good form. Fair on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Not completely dismissed. Soundly beaten behind Sign From Above at Galway last summer last Flat outing.
3 12th (3) (18/1 +28%) The Tide Turns	18 18/1(+28%)	(3) The Tide Turns 18/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, ninth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Killarney (16.8f, soft) 19 days ago. Others make more appeal. Very lightly raced in recent years, latest Killarney run was poor so lots to improve on.
5 13th (5) (28/1 -40%) Corky	28 28/1(-40%)	(5) Corky 28/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 16 in minor event (9/1) at Deauville (12.4f) 53 days ago. First run for yard after leaving J. Reynier. Worth a market check. Fairly useful French form over the winter but unproven over this far.

16:50 Listowel Handicap 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

With Dylan Browne McMonagle a significant booking, the Peter Fahey-trained SIGN FROM ABOVE catches the eye. A winner over two furlongs shorter at the Galway festival last season, the six-year-old is one of just a handful in this line-up that are almost assured to stay the extended trip. With just the eight runs on the level, the Sea The Stars gelding remains very much unexposed as a stayer. Recent Navan winner Global Export kept on late when third in this corresponding race last year. Given that he appears in even better form 12 months on, the Gavin Cromwell-trained six-year-old should again be on the premises. A course winner over hurdles, Rumi is a difficult horse to get right. While he certainly has the ability to win this, he looks one that runs best off a long break.

GRACESOLUTION has been knocking on the door recently and this trip should be within her range, so she's marginally preferred to last-time-out winner Global Export, who scored at Navan recently. Grann's Boy also merits consideration.

Global Export and Gracesolution hold strong claims but value may be had in KILLEEMORE LAD back from good run hurdling

16:55 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (4/1 +0%) Helter Skelter	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Helter Skelter 4/1, Fair maiden. Bit below form eighth of 18 in handicap (gambled-on 12/1) at York (7f, good) 8 days ago, nearest finish and not for the first time this season looking as if he's up to winning from this kind of mark. One to consider back down in grade. Strike a line through latest York run; type to pop up soon for this yard.
8 1st (8) (9/1 +44%) Soames Forsyte	9 9/1(+44%)	(8) Soames Forsyte 9/1, 12/1, 6¼ lengths eleventh of 15 to Coolree in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Two AW wins around the turn of the year; gone off the boil the last twice.
7 2nd (7) (7/4 +71%) Ardbraccan	1.75 7/4(+71%)	(7) Ardbraccan 7/4, C&D winner on return in April. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (15/2) at this course (10.2f, good) 12 days ago. One to take seriously from the same mark. Course record reads -313; comes here in form but takes on male opponents this time.
3 3rd (3) (14/1 -17%) Paris Lights	14 14/1(-17%)	(3) Paris Lights 14/1, Creditable seventh of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to firm, 40/1) 15 days ago, running on late. Every chance if back to best. Late headway into seventh at Thirsk last time; not sure to build on it.
6 4th (6) (8/1 -33%) Coolree	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Coolree 8/1, 12/1, career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Remains low-mileage on turf for this yard and could go well again up 3 lb. First win for new yard at Beverley last month; that form not working out; others stronger.
4 5th (4) (28/1 -56%) Flatley	28 28/1(-56%)	(4) Flatley 28/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 18/1) 64 days ago. Two AW wins this winter; on a fair mark but he's 0-11 on turf and needs a step forward.
2 6th (2) (8/1 +33%) Dumfries	8 8/1(+33%)	(2) Dumfries 8/1, Thirteenth of 16 in handicap (14/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago, met some trouble. Dropping in the weights. Free-going sort who has been well held in two runs since a promising stable debut.
1 7th (1) (6/1 -100%) Rogue Soldier	6 6/1(-100%)	(1) Rogue Soldier 6/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in November. Off 4 months/first run since leaving Tom Clover when creditable third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, soft, 3/1) 11 days ago, needing stiffer test. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Respected. Beaten favourite on stable debut 11 days ago but return to 1m will suit, as may headgear.
9 8th (9) (28/1 -12%) Create	28 28/1(-12%)	(9) Create 28/1, Off 10 weeks, 33/1, last of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 54 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Blinkers on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Struggled in handicaps and hopes rest on blinkers turning things around.
10 9th (10) (5/1 +17%) The Spotlight Kid	5 5/1(+17%)	(10) The Spotlight Kid 5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (10/3) at this C&D (good) 23 days ago, just ending up too far back having been forced to rein back from a wide draw and running on. Has to be taken seriously back under Fallon. Placed over C&D in his two runs this season; needs more to win in this higher grade.

16:55 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ARDBRACCAN won over C&D in April and was unlucky when third here over further last month following the combination of a slow start along with the lack of a clear run when required. She is likely to be coming with a late charge and may overhaul recent winner Coolree if the race falls her way. Amy Murphy's gelding looks all set for another big run off 3lb higher, leaving The Spotlight Kid to follow them home in third.

THE SPOTLIGHT KID gets the verdict after a couple of creditable runs here this term. He's clearly on a mark he can capitalise from and both his wins have come under Cieren Fallon. Helter Skelter shaped well again in a deeper contest at York last weekend and is feared most ahead of Beverley-winner Coolree.

Helter Skelter is threatening better but ROGUE SOLDIER may have his measure over this trip.

Half-brother to smart hurdler/very smart chaser Dysart Dynamo and bumper winner/useful hurdler Dysart Diamond. The obvious one. From a smart family and his pedigree is littered with bumper winners; hard to oppose.

Can build on that now. Should have improved from front-running fifth to Mullins-trained winner at Ballinrobe.
5 3rd (5) (22/1 +12%) Black Heather	22 22/1(+12%)	(5) Black Heather 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, last of 8 in bumper at Clonmel (18.7f, soft) 45 days ago. Big prices in two bumpers, not shamed at Navan on debut but tailed off last time.

17:00 Kilbeggan NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DYSART DAZZLER, a half-brother to two black type horses, both of whom won their bumpers, is an obvious contender. Trainer Willie Mullins tends to do very well with the horses he runs in such contests at this track, so the fact he starts the five-year-old off here could prove significant. It will be interesting to see how strong the son of Flemensfirth is in the market. Serious Chat, a promising fifth at Ballinrobe on debut, missed a mid-week engagement due to soft ground. With officials predicting quicker conditions here, the five-year-old should have everything in his favour. Aine's Lad was well beaten on his debut at Punchestown back in February but is entitled to come on from the experience.

Hard to see past DYSART DAZZLER in a very winnable bumper. Serious Chat should build on his encouraging run at Ballinrobe and looks the threat over 4-y-o Buddy's Choice.

A weak contest and the well-bred DYSART DAZZLER, whose pedigree is littered with bumper winners, is pretty much unopposable

17:10 Hamilton Handicap (Class 2) 5f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (9/1 +10%) Desperate Hero	9 9/1(+10%)	(6) Desperate Hero 9/1, Five wins from 19 Flat runs. 6/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Goodwood (5f, heavy) 30 days ago by neck from King's Lynn. That form is decent and he can go well again. Gamely beat King's Lynn by a neck at Goodwood last time; should remain competitive.
11 2nd (11) (10/3 +26%) American Affair	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(11) American Affair 10/3, 4/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) on return 42 days ago with plenty in hand. Looks a sprinter going places and big shout up in class. Won well at Musselburgh on seasonal debut; looks the type to improve further; respected.
5 3rd (5) (22/1 -38%) Marine Wave	22 22/1(-38%)	(5) Marine Wave 22/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who failed to win in 2023 having kept pretty good company. Not ideally placed on reappearance at Musselburgh but well held in handicap at York (5f, good, 7/1) 17 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Hard to fancy on 2024 efforts; chance depends on how well she responds to hood.
2 4th (2) (6/1 +33%) King's Lynn	6 6/1(+33%)	(2) King's Lynn 6/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 4/1) 21 days ago. Isn't quite the force of old but has been given a chance by the handicapper. Placed twice last month; won the Temple Stakes two years ago; remains attractively treated.
10 5th (10) (33/1 -65%) Moon Flight	33 33/1(-65%)	(10) Moon Flight 33/1, Continues in fine form in 5f AW handicaps, second of 10 at Newcastle 71 days ago. Makes turf debut back from a break. Consistent on AW; has a question to answer on turf.
15 6th (15) (20/1 -67%) Reigning Profit	20 20/1(-67%)	(15) Reigning Profit 20/1, 13/2, creditable 1¾ lengths third of 9 to Jordan Electrics in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. In a consistent vein of form; ties in with Jordan Electrics on latest effort.
1 7th (1) (9/2 +63%) Aberama Gold	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(1) Aberama Gold 9/2, Smart sprinter who tasted success 5 times last season, notably in the Sky Bet Dash at York and Stewards' Cup. Well-backed 13/2, below form ninth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good) 18 days ago. Good claims on previous Newmarket efforts now back over 5f. On a handy mark but ideally needs a testing surface back at 5f.
8 7th (8) (22/1 -57%) Zarzyni	22 22/1(-57%)	(8) Zarzyni 22/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, good second of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 9 days ago, a tardy start probably the difference between victory and defeat. This is tougher. On a long losing sequence but went close at Pontefract most recently.
7 9th (7) (11/1 -10%) Bergerac	11 11/1(-10%)	(7) Bergerac 11/1, Multiple-York winner who cashed in on a drop in the weights when bagging a brace of AW handicaps to end 2023. Respectable sixth of 17 in handicap at York (5f, good, 22/1) 17 days ago, nearest finish after slowly away and meeting trouble under 2f out. His turn could be near again. Latest race didn't pan out smoothly for him; on a workable mark; not ruled out.
3 10th (3) (16/1 +20%) Makanah	16 16/1(+20%)	(3) Makanah 16/1, Tends to go well fresh and having slipped to lowest mark in almost 5 years, ran creditably after 7 months off when fourth at Newmarket (5f, good) on return. Rare poor effort at York 18 days ago. Visor goes on (bombed out when tried in cheekpieces previously). Inconsistent since last win; chance depends on how well he takes to visor.
4 11th (4) (13/2 +41%) Jm Jungle	6.5 13/2(+41%)	(4) Jm Jungle 13/2, Back-to-back handicap winner last summer. Respectable seventh of 17 in handicap (11/1) at York (5f, good) 17 days ago. Merits consideration. Has form figures of 1322 at Hamilton; each-way possibilities back here.
12 12th (12) (80/1 -100%) Never Dark	80 80/1(-100%)	(12) Never Dark 80/1, C&D winner. Last of 12 in handicap (100/1) at York (5f, good) on return last week. Needs to leave that well behind. Engaged 7.20 Doncaster Saturday. Form has dipped sharply since Haydock win last September; opposed.
9 13th (9) (16/1 +36%) Dickieburd	16 16/1(+36%)	(9) Dickieburd 16/1, Fifth of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 9/2) 9 days ago. More needed. Held by Zarzyni on latest effort; faces a tougher task at this level.
14 14th (14) (22/1 -175%) Jordan Electrics	22 22/1(-175%)	(14) Jordan Electrics 22/1, 4-time course winner. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to firm, 5/2) 13 days ago. More needed in hat-trick bid. Bids for a hat-trick having won at Ayr and Carlisle the last twice; better than ever.
13 15th (13) (33/1 -65%) Be Proud	33 33/1(-65%)	(13) Be Proud 33/1, 9/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good) 2 days ago. Below par at Doncaster on Friday and not crying out for this return to 5f.

17:10 Hamilton Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

DESPERATE HERO continues to improve and won a competitive sprint at Goodwood on his latest start. Jack Channon's charge looks sure to make another bold bid in this. King's Lynn was beaten only a neck by the selection at Goodwood and is preferred to Jm Jungle, who still looks a shade high in the weights. Aberama Gold is capable in this grade and drops back in trip, while Makanah is fitted with a visor after a poor effort at York. Musselburgh winner American Affair makes most appeal of Jim Goldie's three runners.

AMERICAN AFFAIR returned with an impressive display, turning a Musselburgh handicap into a rout, and a 10 lb rise probably underestimates his superiority. There is more to come from him, and he can score again up in class. Goodwood winner Desperate Hero is another going the right way, while Aberama Gold and Bergerac are a couple of the regulars in these races who must be on today's shortlist.

With further progress likely, AMERICAN AFFAIR (nap) could well defy a 10lb rise for his Musselburgh win. Bergerac is second choice.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (8/11 +47%) Enniskerry	0.727273 8/11(+47%)	(6) Enniskerry 8/11, Smart winner at 18f in chases. 11/1, third of 17 in handicap chase at Punchestown (16.3f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Impressive winner on his only Flat outing to date (a year ago). Won his only previous Flat race last June; excellent third over fences recently.
8 2nd (8) (15/8 +6%) Sixandahalf	1.875 15/8(+6%)	(8) Sixandahalf 15/8, Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. Won 7-runner maiden at Cork (12f, good to soft, 4/1) on flat debut 12 days ago, well on top finish. Open to improvement and makes plenty of appeal. Impressive bumper winner who won nicely over 1m4f at Cork 12 days ago.
4 3rd (4) (15/2 -15%) War Correspondent	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(4) War Correspondent 15/2, Untrustworthy individual. Winner at Dundalk in February. Third of 13 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) 17 days ago. One to consider. Won off 80 on the AW in Feb and placed in a recent hurdle; one of the better options.
1 4th (1) (100/1 -52%) Oranmore	100 100/1(-52%)	(1) Oranmore 100/1, Fair gelding. One win from 23 Flat runs. 12/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 68 days ago. 1m6f winner at Bellewstown last summer but that was a low-grade handicap.
3 5th (3) (33/1 -18%) Roman Bull	33 33/1(-18%)	(3) Roman Bull 33/1, Fairly useful gelding. 11/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 58 days ago. Up in trip. Others preferred. Below best on last two visits to Dundalk and even if back on song he's likely to struggle.
5 6th (5) (25/1 -317%) Dads Lad	25 25/1(-317%)	(5) Dads Lad 25/1, Useful jumps winner. 11/1, last of 4 in minor event at Killarney (14.2f, soft) 19 days ago. Not one to write off in this sphere. Smart jumper who has won over 1m4f; current level of ability is hard to gauge.
9 7th (9) (14/1 -27%) Suprise Package	14 14/1(-27%)	(9) Suprise Package 14/1, Useful jumps winner. Twice-raced maiden on Flat. 2/1, won 6-runner minor event hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft). Off 10 months. Remains with some potential in this sphere. Smart hurdler who has shown he can mix it on the Flat; absence the only worry.
2 8th (2) (150/1 -50%) Pro Bono	150 150/1(-50%)	(2) Pro Bono 150/1, Modest gelding. Off 159 days. First run for yard after leaving Paul W. Flynn. Modest on the Flat, creditable on last Flat run. hard to make a case for. Won over hurdles and on Flat (1m4f) last summer but it was off a basement mark latterly.
7 9th (7) (40/1 -100%) Queen Of Seduction	40 40/1(-100%)	(7) Queen Of Seduction 40/1, Fairly useful mare. 50/1 and blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, good) 16 days ago. Enters calculations. Engaged 5.25 here Saturday. Dual Flat winner for previous yard; recent form less inspiring.
10 10th (10) (100/1 +0%) Florida Taiga	100 100/1(+0%)	(10) Florida Taiga 100/1, First run since leaving D. K. Weld when last of 7 in maiden at Roscommon (12.2f, good to soft, 25/1) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Left Dermot Weld for 3,000 euros and recently finished tailed off in a Roscommon maiden.

17:20 Listowel Stakes 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Having shown a smart turn of foot when winning her maiden on the level at Cork last month, the Gavin Cromwell-trained SIXANDAHALF can follow up. A bumper winner at the Punchestown festival on her previous start, the four-year-old looks a filly on the upgrade. This intermediate trip should suit her that bit better than the majority of her rivals here. Leopardstown QR Maiden winner Enniskerry looked very good on that occasion but would almost certainly prefer an additional couple of furlongs. Galway is likely to be the principal target for the Barry Connell-trained gelding. War Correspondent is one that could run a big race. Ray Cody's five-year-old, who is rated 89 on the Flat, shaped well when third over hurdles on his latest start.

ENISKERRY is a classy jumper who was an emphatic winner on his sole previous Flat outing a year ago, so he's comfortably the most appealing, with Sixandahalf regarded as the main danger following her maiden win at Cork. Dads Lad can't be ruled out.

A race that contains all sorts. ENNISKERRY, Sixandahalf and Suprise Package could be the three to concentrate on.

17:30 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (7/2 +22%) War Chant	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(1) War Chant 7/2, Much improved when rattling off quick-fire hat-trick in handicaps at around 1m last summer, including over C&D. 9/1, good third of 15 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) on return 19 days ago. One to consider. Back to form when close third of 15 at Beverley; more to prove on softer than good.
3 2nd (3) (16/1 -129%) Island Native	16 16/1(-129%)	(3) Island Native 16/1, Won twice on AW at the start of the year. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm, 22/1) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and this is much easier. Back down in class but he's not proven on softer than good.
9 3rd (9) (7/4 +50%) Beylerbeyi	1.75 7/4(+50%)	(9) Beylerbeyi 7/4, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft, well-backed 3/1) 6 days ago, no match for unexposed impressive winner but clear of rest. Big player. 0-16 since debut win but there have been four 2nds, including on two of last three starts.
7 4th (7) (6/1 -9%) Soi Dao	6 6/1(-9%)	(7) Soi Dao 6/1, Won 11-runner handicap (15/2) at this C&D (good) 23 days ago. Has had plenty of racing but she's returned to turf better than ever. Won under Gina Mangan on first and latest starts this term, the latter over C&D (good).
5 5th (5) (22/1 -120%) Equion	22 22/1(-120%)	(5) Equion 22/1, C&D winner. Off 6 months. Might need this. Two wins last summer, the latter over C&D (heavy); bit more to prove on this reappearance.
8 6th (8) (14/1 -40%) Egoiste	14 14/1(-40%)	(8) Egoiste 14/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 14/1, fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 31 days ago, very slowly away. Jury out on him on turf. Having a good season on AW; however, turf form (five races) is very low-level stuff.
2 7th (2) (15/2 +12%) Bernadine	7.5 15/2(+12%)	(2) Bernadine 15/2, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 13/2) 43 days ago. Back at the scene of her last victory having dipped in the weights. Scored comfortably over C&D last June and has produced two respectable shows this season.
6 8th (6) (50/1 -127%) Parish Councillor	50 50/1(-127%)	(6) Parish Councillor 50/1, Won at Newcastle in February 2023. 22/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 14 days ago, eased down once his chance had gone. Dropped another 3 lb. Heavy defeats on last two starts and latest was his turf debut (1m2f, good).
4 9th (4) (15/2 -15%) King Of Fury	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(4) King Of Fury 15/2, After 6 months off, ran well on form despite looking a hard ride when second of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f) 29 days ago, racing freely/hanging left. Needs to build on that with hood now reached for. 0-5; creditable second of five off this mark, pulling hard, at Leicester (7f, good).

17:30 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Soi Dao won a Class Six here over C&D last month and has to be considered, but she is up against slightly better opposition here and races off 3lb higher which may stop her doubling up. James Fanshawe has his string running to form suggesting Brighton fourth Bernadine could also go well, but WAR CHANT could have the edge. Third and beaten less than a length on his first start since last September, any improvement could see him winning for the fifth time.

BEYLERBEYI chased home an unexposed one probably destined for better things at Yarmouth on Monday and has every chance from the same mark if backing that performance up. Soi Dao has returned to turf in top form and has a good shout again. War Chant is another to consider.

The most solid options appear to be recent C&D winner SOI DAO ahead of this week's Yarmouth runner-up Beylerbeyi

17:40 Hamilton Handicap (Class 3) 9f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (18/1 -100%) Dora Milaje	18 18/1(-100%)	(2) Dora Milaje 18/1, Lightly-raced winner. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, soft, 5/1) 32 days ago. Others make more appeal. Lightly raced; may resume her progress with Pontefract reappearance under her belt.
3 1st (3) (15/2 +25%) Fiver Friday	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(3) Fiver Friday 15/2, Latest win at Ayr in April. 7/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good) 18 days ago. Others more persuasive. Irish filly who has form figures of 41221 in Scottish races; one to consider.
4 2nd (4) (9/2 +40%) Strong Impact	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(4) Strong Impact 9/2, 8/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to firm) 22 days ago, slowly away. Enters calculations in this slightly less-competitive affair. Has a largely consistent record, close fifth in higher grade at Ascot most recently.
8 3rd (8) (7/2 +13%) Star Jasmine	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(8) Star Jasmine 7/2, Confirmed previous encouragement when landing 5-runner maiden at Bath (8f, heavy) 56 days ago. Opening mark looks fair and there's more to come, so makes plenty of appeal. Solid record in maidens, winning at Bath most recently; open to further progress.
7 4th (7) (13/8 +28%) Warda Jamila	1.625 13/8(+28%)	(7) Warda Jamila 13/8, Progressive form, gaining career win number 2 in 1¼m Ascot handicap 22 days ago, nicely on top at the finish. Open to further improvement and looks the one to beat. Scored comfortably at Ascot three weeks ago and looks the type to improve further.
9 5th (9) (17/2 -21%) Cloudy Skye	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(9) Cloudy Skye 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 7 in handicap (20/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Open to improvement and not one to write off. May well build on AW reappearance effort; receives plenty of weight all round.
5 6th (5) (10/1 +29%) Carolina Reaper	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) Carolina Reaper 10/1, 5½ lengths seventh of 9 to Devoted Queen in listed race at York (7.9f, good, 25/1) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task. Has failed to transfer the form of her German Group 3 win back to home soil.
1 7th (1) (50/1 -150%) Our Town	50 50/1(-150%)	(1) Our Town 50/1, First run since leaving Jean-Claude Rouget when 18½ lengths last of 8 to Royal Dress in listed race at Goodwood (8f, soft, 100/1) on UK debut 29 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Must improve. Drops in class on second British start but takes on some unexposed/progressive types.

17:40 Hamilton Handicap (Class 3) 9f Race Class Flow

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

STRONG IMPACT wasn't beaten far when fifth in a tougher handicap at Ascot last month. Aidan Keeley's 3lb allowance helps her cause on this occasion and Roger Varian's filly gets the vote. Warda Jamila won over 1m2f at the same Ascot meeting as the selection but has an 8lb hike to contend with, while both Dora Milaje and Cloudy Skye ran well on their respective handicap debuts. Star Jasmine landed a maiden race at Bath in April and is another with scope for improvement now handicapping.

WARDA JAMILA arrives with a progressive profile and was well on top at the line when scoring at Ascot three weeks ago, so she's worth chancing to go in again at the likely expense of Star Jasmine, who is also going the right way. Strong Impact also makes some appeal for all that she lacks the potential of the aforementioned pair.

With further improvement on the cards, WARDA JAMILA is taken to defy an 8lb rise. Strong Impact is second choice.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (11/4 +39%) Mr Irrelevant	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(3) Mr Irrelevant 11/4, Not seen to best effect at York (7f) latest and had won back-to-back handicaps over this trip at Ripon and Doncaster previously. Remains feasibly treated and must enter calculations. Return to 7f backfired last weekend; has form figures of 32211 over 6f; still of interest.
1 2nd (1) (3/1 +0%) Cargin Bhui	3 3/1(+0%)	(1) Cargin Bhui 3/1, 5f Wolverhampton winner on second start and improved again when runner-up under a penalty at Newcastle (decent form). Not seen to best effect in handicaps twice since, finishing with running left at Chester (6f) last month. Warrants respect. Didn't have an entirely smooth trip at Chester last time; may improve on that effort.
2 3rd (2) (7/1 -110%) Ziggy's Queen	7 7/1(-110%)	(2) Ziggy's Queen 7/1, Bit below form sixth of 17 in handicap at York (5f, good, 33/1) on return 16 days ago and yet to prove herself over this longer trip. Reappearance effort suggests this return to 6f is worth exploring; possibilities.
5 4th (5) (11/4 +61%) Pals Battalion	2.75 11/4(+61%)	(5) Pals Battalion 11/4, Won at Beverley (5f) on final start last term and posted fair form in both starts this season, latest when fourth of 15 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to soft, 9/1) 8 days ago. Merits consideration. Not disgraced in a couple of 6f handicaps this term, fourth of 15 at Haydock latest.
4 5th (4) (13/2 -30%) Miami Heat	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(4) Miami Heat 13/2, First run since leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis when respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 41 days ago. 1 lb lower now and is entitled to build on that. May do better with Windsor reappearance (stable debut) under his belt.
7 6th (7) (20/1 +20%) Havana Rose	20 20/1(+20%)	(7) Havana Rose 20/1, 20/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 30 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Good second off 4lb higher at Pontefract on last turf appearance; not ruled out.
6 7th (6) (40/1 -82%) Petra Celera	40 40/1(-82%)	(6) Petra Celera 40/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 9/2, seventh of 8 in claimer at Leicester (7f, soft) 5 days ago. Looks in need of assistance from the handicapper. Has regressed in 7f events on soft/heavy for new yard; this looks more suitable.

18:10 Hamilton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MR IRRELEVANT failed to see out the 7f trip at York last week having landed a double over today's distance before that. Grant Tuer's charge gets another chance with the ground also in his favour. Cargin Bhui had a difficult task drawn wide at Chester and better is expected from him, while Ziggy's Queen and Pals Battalion have both won over the minimum trip but have something to prove over this extra furlong.

The return to sprinting will suit MR IRRELEVANT and he can record his third success this year. Cargin Bhui and Pals Battalion may provide the chief threat.

Based on last-time-out bare figures, PALS BATTALION has the best chance at the weights. Ziggy's Queen is second choice.

18:40 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 11f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (8/1 +33%) Natzor	8 8/1(+33%)	(1) Natzor 8/1, Winner at Newcastle in May. 3/1, creditable sixth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 10 days ago given he missed the break. Cheekpieces back on and needs considering. Good second at this venue on most recent turf attempt.
15 1st (15) (22/1 -83%) Letsbefrank	22 22/1(-83%)	(15) Letsbefrank 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden who posted a solid fourth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good, 11/4) 30 days ago. Must enter calculations with progress on the cards. Still looked a shade green last time; remains open to improvement in handicaps.
2 2nd (2) (14/1 -27%) Real Terms	14 14/1(-27%)	(2) Real Terms 14/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. Good 3½ lengths fourth of 10 to Natzor in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 12/1) 21 days ago. Not taken lightly. Fighting chance off current mark, provided she's back in peak form.
13 3rd (13) (20/1 -67%) Tafsir	20 20/1(-67%)	(13) Tafsir 20/1, Landed 7-runner handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good) 19 days ago, well positioned. This course winner is in the picture. All wins in Class 6 races, latest at Ayr last month; this looks a harder task.
9 4th (9) (10/1 -43%) Ludo's Landing	10 10/1(-43%)	(9) Ludo's Landing 10/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 5/2) 10 days ago, running on. Possibilities. Consistent on AW this year and looked unlucky last time; both wins on turf.
3 5th (3) (10/3 +72%) My Little Queens	3.333333 10/3(+72%)	(3) My Little Queens 10/3, C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Not best drawn when seventh of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Merits consideration. Scored readily over C&D on most recent turf start, taking Hamilton record to 3-3.
14 6th (14) (17/2 +66%) Jaminoz	8.5 17/2(+66%)	(14) Jaminoz 17/2, Course winner. 15/2, below-par fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (13.1f, soft) 4 days ago. More is needed. Couple of creditable efforts here this term; in-form contender.
11 7th (11) (13/2 +7%) Bearwith	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(11) Bearwith 13/2, Latest win at Southwell in April. 9/4, unlucky fourth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good) 23 days ago, suffering a poor run from 2f out. Bold showing is on the cards. Won off this mark on AW in April; latest effort can be marked up; likely player.
10 8th (10) (15/2 +58%) Destinado	7.5 15/2(+58%)	(10) Destinado 15/2, 6 wins from 15 runs this year. 6/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good) 16 days ago. Blinkers back on. Can make his presence felt. Highly productive this year but may be in the assessor's grip now.
12 9th (12) (13/2 +46%) Giselles Defence	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(12) Giselles Defence 13/2, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Pontefract in May. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, good to firm, 9/4) 23 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Form dipped on good to firm ground last time; gained his Pontefract win on soft.
7 10th (7) (8/1 +27%) Bulldog Spirit	8 8/1(+27%)	(7) Bulldog Spirit 8/1, Good 4½ lengths second of 8 to My Little Queens in handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 28 days ago. Very much one to consider. Second to My Little Queens over C&D last time; won off 1lb higher this time last year.
4 11th (4) (33/1 -136%) Detective	33 33/1(-136%)	(4) Detective 33/1, C&D winner. Good second of 6 in handicap (10/1) at Carlisle (7.8f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Can give a good account. Successful over C&D two years ago but losing run is mounting up.
6 12th (6) (16/1 -33%) Bohemian Breeze	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Bohemian Breeze 16/1, Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 15/2) 21 days ago. In the mix. Mixed results this year but has become favourably handicapped.
8 13th (8) (25/1 -25%) Sutue Alshams	25 25/1(-25%)	(8) Sutue Alshams 25/1, 10/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, soft). Off 8 months. Not ruled out. Best watched in this competitive affair on reappearance.
5 14th (5) (20/1 -25%) Where's Jeff	20 20/1(-25%)	(5) Where's Jeff 20/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Creditable 4¾ lengths fourth of 8 to My Little Queens in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 5/1) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Ought to be thereabouts. Almost 5l behind My Little Queens last time but now gets 7lb pull.

18:40 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

My Little Queens is now 7lb higher than when beating Bulldog Spirit and JAMINOZ over track and trip early last month. The latter has subsequently ran well again back at this venue and may prove the one to side with in open affair. Tafsir scored over a longer trip at Ayr on her latest start and can figure again, while Detective showed signs of a return to form when runner-up over a mile at Carlisle and could go well.

Plenty are in with a shout. Harriet Bethell's BEARWITH didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Ripon last time and can gain compensation off just a 1 lb higher mark. In-form Real Terms also figures on a handy-looking mark and rates the main danger, although a solid case can also be made for Letsbefrank, Bulldog Spirit, Detective and My Little Queens in a very open contest.

Solid contender LUDO'S LANDING gets the verdict returned to turf. My Little Queens is second choice.

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.
