13:10 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 19f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (3/1 -71%) Scaramanga	3 3/1(-71%)	(2) Scaramanga 3/1, Smart hurdler. Below form thirteenth of 20 in handicap (11/1) at Galway (16.8f, heavy). Off 10 months. Switches from Flat to hurdles with yard in good form and very much one to consider. Big player if close to his best with the ground in his favour; absence not a likely factor.
1 1st (1) (7/2 +30%) Fascile Mode	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(1) Fascile Mode 7/2, Useful hurdler. Course winner. 3/1, good third of 4 in minor event hurdle at Ballinrobe (18.4f, good) 13 days ago. In the mix. Likely to find one or two too good but won't be far away if running his race.
4 2nd (4) (1/3 +55%) Ash Tree Meadow	0.333333 1/3(+55%)	(4) Ash Tree Meadow 1/3, Very smart chaser. 4/1, career best when winning 4-runner Grade 3 chase at Killarney (20.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago by 5½ lengths from French Dynamite, kept up to work. Switches from chase to hurdles and the one to beat. Very good chaser; runner-up in this race last year on his most recent run over hurdles.
3 3rd (3) (16/1 +52%) Striking	16 16/1(+52%)	(3) Striking 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Course winner. Respecteable twelfth of 23 in handicap hurdle at this course (19.3f, good to soft, 25/1) 39 days ago. More is needed here, though. Won his maiden hurdle at this meeting last year; exposed in novice and handicap company.
7 4th (7) (50/1 -52%) Queen Nel	50 50/1(-52%)	(7) Queen Nel 50/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Winner in hurdle at Gowran in March. 15/8, fair third of 5 in minor event hurdle at Limerick (16.2f, heavy) 77 days ago. First run for yard after leaving R. P. Cody and no forlorn hope. Gowran maiden hurdle winner ran okay in a Limerick mares hurdle since; more needed.
6 5th (6) (450/1 -125%) And Still I Rise	450 450/1(-125%)	(6) And Still I Rise 450/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 100/1, sixth of 10 in claiming hurdle at Limerick (16.4f, soft) on hurdles bow 10 days ago. Ordinary pointer and well beaten in a bumper and a claiming hurdle; no chance here.
8 6th (8) (200/1 -33%) Getaway Sally	200 200/1(-33%)	(8) Getaway Sally 200/1, Getaway mare. Sister to modest hurdler Mr Social, barely stays 3m. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Top Strategy. Faces a stiff task. Fifth in a point at Ballysteen in March; up against it here on her track debut.
5 \|U\| (5) (100/1 -203%) Rocky Blue	100 100/1(-203%)	(5) Rocky Blue 100/1, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 14f on flat. Won 15-runner handicap (7/2) at Leopardstown (10f, good), driven out. Off over 3 years and has his fitness to prove. Good horse in the past but can only be watched after almost four years on the sidelines.

13:10 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Scaramanga was a Grade 1 winner in the US when last seen over obstacles and Willie Mullins' representative merits the utmost respect on his return, but it is ASH TREE MEADOW who shades preference. The talented chaser, a Grade 3 winner as recently as last month, will have no problem reverting to hurdles and looks to hold leading claims in receipt of 6lb from the other principals. Fascile Mode was a creditable third at Ballinrobe last time out, but that position might be his best hope once again.

ASH TREE MEADOW holds the edge on form and comes here on the back of a Grade 3 chasing success at Killarney so gets the vote. Scaramanga has a lengthy lay-off to overcome but can't be dismissed with his yard going well, with Fascile Mode and Queen Nel appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

It is hard to see beyond high class chaser ASH TREE MEADOW, who was a close second in this race last year on his last run over hurdles

13:27 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (7/2 +0%) Mongibello	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(7) Mongibello 7/2, Got off the mark in Down Royal bumper in December but below that level in better company at Leopardstown and Aintree since. Shouldn't be written off now going hurdling. Smart bumper form last season; makes hurdle debut at a realistic level; yard runs three.
1 2nd (1) (11/8 -10%) Clodders Dream	1.375 11/8(-10%)	(1) Clodders Dream 11/8, Fairly useful hurdler. Winner at Clonmel in May and backed it up with a good third of 6 in novice at Kilbeggan (25.2f, good) 7 days ago. Expected to be bang there for yard which has taken the past two runnings. Clonmel win (2m3f) last month represented improvement; fair third last week; big player.
5 3rd (5) (10/1 -186%) Bishop Hill	10 10/1(-186%)	(5) Bishop Hill 10/1, Fair hurdler who wasn't disgraced when third of 10 in C&D novice 25 days ago. Hood goes on now and holds good form claims. Placed on her last three starts but raced too freely here last time; now tried in a hood.
2 4th (2) (100/1 -733%) Buy Some Time	100 100/1(-733%)	(2) Buy Some Time 100/1, Points winner who had cheekpieces on when good second of 9 in hunter chase at Cartmel (21.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Much respected now going hurdling. Two point wins this spring; second in modest hunter chase on rules/stable debut last month.
4 5th (4) (125/1 -89%) The Jeweller's Pet	125 125/1(-89%)	(4) The Jeweller's Pet 125/1, 40/1, sixth of 7 in novice hurdle here (16.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 24 days ago. Up in trip with more required. Maiden pointer; well-beaten 40-1 shot here (2m) on last month's rules debut.
3 6th (3) (100/1 -614%) Highland Fashion	100 100/1(-614%)	(3) Highland Fashion 100/1, Easily best of his three runs when second of 10 in bumper (50/1) at Kelso (16.2f, good) 32 days ago. Makes hurdles debut up in trip and not dismissed. Improved with each of his bumper runs; bred to do better but has useful standard to aim at.
8 7th (8) (200/1 -100%) Tread Softly Now	200 200/1(-100%)	(8) Tread Softly Now 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden who came in only seventh of 10 in novice over C&D on hurdles bow 25 days ago. Needs a big step forward. Huge prices and little promise in her four starts; no appeal.
9 8th (9) (100/1 -614%) Bleu Lagune	100 100/1(-614%)	(9) Bleu Lagune 100/1, 13/2, debut eighth of 10 in novice hurdle over C&D 25 days ago. Lots more is needed. Only 13-2 for her debut here last month but finished out the back; hard to recommend.
6 \|U\| (6) (100/1 -1329%) Kimjoy	100 100/1(-1329%)	(6) Kimjoy 100/1, 20/1, running well (still every chance) when fell last in novice hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good to soft) 46 days ago. One for the shortlist. Looked set to win at Bellewstown in April when crashing down at the last; can do better.

13:27 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

CLODDERS DREAM won in a pleasing manner over 2m3f at Clonmel on his penultimate start and, far from disgraced when third under a penalty over 3m1f at Kilbeggan last time, there could be plenty more to come from this improving six-year-old back at this sort of trip. Bishop Hill has shown a liking for this venue and, with a hood added, she can at least match the two placed efforts she has posted over this C&D on her last two starts. Hurdles debutant Highland Fashion completes the shortlist.

Gordon Elliott has bagged the last two runnings of this maiden and his CLODDERS DREAM holds the edge on form so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways. Bishop Hill rates much the biggest threat, especially if the fitting of a hood ekes out some improvement. Kimjoy and Buy Some Time appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

The Crawford-trained pair Kimjoy and MONGIBELLO appeal most. The selection can boast strong form in bumpers.

13:45 Punchestown Maiden Chase 24f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (5/1 -82%) Reverend Hubert	5 5/1(-82%)	(3) Reverend Hubert 5/1, Promising sort. Much improved when making a winning start over fences at Limerick (22.7f, good) 17 days ago by 6 lengths from Stuzzikini. Stable in good form. Remains with potential. Beat Stuzzikini on chasing debut at Limerick, can be fancied to uphold form on worse terms.
4 2nd (4) (7/2 -40%) Solitary Man	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(4) Solitary Man 7/2, Useful chaser. Career best when winning 5-runner novice chase (6/4) at Killarney (23f, good to soft) on debut over fences 28 days ago, always holding on. Should progress and warrants respect. Beat the subsequent 8l Mayo National winner Duffle Coat in 2m7f Killarney race, respected.
2 3rd (2) (2/1 +33%) Easy Fella	2 2/1(+33%)	(2) Easy Fella 2/1, Promising sort. Career best when winning 7-runner novice chase (5/4) at Tipperary (23.4f, good to soft) on debut over fences 31 days ago. Likely more to come yet. 135-rated hurdler jumped well and won with impressive ease on chasing debut at Tipperary.
1 4th (1) (22/1 +12%) Another Choice	22 22/1(+12%)	(1) Another Choice 22/1, Fairly useful chaser. 5/1, career best when winning 8-runner novice chase at Downpatrick (23.7f, good) on debut over fences 44 days ago, driven out. This looks tougher. Did well to beat a fancied rival at Downpatrick, this opposition looks demanding.
7 5th (7) (13/2 -86%) Saylavee	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(7) Saylavee 13/2, Useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Career best when winning 10-runner novice chase at Killarney (20.8f, good to soft, 2/7) on debut over fences 28 days ago, easily. May well do better. 137-rated hurdler, readily landed the odds on chasing debut at Killarney, should go close.
6 6th (6) (18/1 -125%) Stuzzikini	18 18/1(-125%)	(6) Stuzzikini 18/1, Useful winner at 24f over hurdles. 15/2, 6 lengths second of 6 to Reverend Hubert in novice chase at Limerick (22.7f, good) on debut over fences 17 days ago. Should improve. Second to Reverend Hubert at Limerick, 6lb better off but may struggle to turn the tables.
5 \|PU\| (5) (500/1 -100%) Karlsson Vom Dach	500 500/1(-100%)	(5) Karlsson Vom Dach 500/1, Mustameet gelding. Dam, poor maiden over hurdles/fences (stayed 2¾m), sister to fair hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Oscar Gogo. Pulled up in a maiden point at Ballingarry on belated debut, faces a huge task here.

13:45 Punchestown Maiden Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Easy Fella bolted up on his fencing bow at Tipperary and Henry de Bromhead's charge is an obvious candidate once again, but REVEREND HUBERT can come out on top. Once useful on the Flat, Charles Byrnes' gelding appeared to relish a switch to fences when winning comfortably at Limerick, and natural improvement ought to give him every chance of following up. Solitary Man and Saylavee, who receives 7lb from the aforementioned trio, are others to consider.

EASY FELLA made an impressive start over fences at Tipperary last month and looks a smart chaser in the making. He can follow up. Reverend Hubert and Solitary Man are feared most.

With his fitness advanced by his Killarney run, and the form boosted by the second at Ballinrobe, SOLITARY MAN may prove best.

13:57 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (11/4 +0%) Marty Mcfly	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(2) Marty Mcfly 11/4, A fair maiden for R. Mike Smith and posted a solid fourth for his new handler in handicap at Bangor (19.6f, good) 22 days ago. One to consider if builidng on that. Straight back to form when fourth of ten at Bangor (2m3f, good; favourite) for new stable.
5 2nd (5) (33/1 -136%) One Step Up	33 33/1(-136%)	(5) One Step Up 33/1, Failed to make the frame for Nicky Richards and pulled up in handicap here (20.2f, soft) for his new stable in April. Needs to get back on track. Well beaten in his three handicaps for Nicky Richards and tailed off on debut for new yard.
6 3rd (6) (4/1 +20%) Dapper Gent	4 4/1(+20%)	(6) Dapper Gent 4/1, Is knocking on the door, excellent second of 9 in novice hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, good) 22 days ago. Looks to have got in lightly for his handicap bow. Big shout. Second last month in a seller and maiden; competitive mark for handicap debut.
1 4th (1) (40/1 -471%) Lemoine	40 40/1(-471%)	(1) Lemoine 40/1, Fair maiden hurdler but tried in a hood when only seventh of 8 in novice at Musselburgh (17.4f, heavy) 65 days ago, going in snatches. More required on his handicap debut. In the frame in his three bumpers; hurdle results gone the wrong way; handicap debut.
4 5th (4) (80/1 -2186%) Northern Cardinal	80 80/1(-2186%)	(4) Northern Cardinal 80/1, Good second of 13 in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 45 days ago. Has since had a wind op so can't be taken lightly in bid for a maiden success. Easily his closest finish since debut when 2nd over C&D (soft) in April latest; wind op.
8 6th (8) (100/1 -900%) Don't Look Back	100 100/1(-900%)	(8) Don't Look Back 100/1, A fair performer on the Flat for Lucinda Russell last year and he has shown similar form to make the frame in this sphere. Faced a stiff task over C&D last time so can't be discounted here. 1-19 on Flat and 0-11 over hurdles; down the weights.
9 7th (9) (50/1 -317%) Foxwood	50 50/1(-317%)	(9) Foxwood 50/1, Arrives in decent nick without winning, third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) 174 days ago. Cheekpieces go on and no forlorn hope after a break. Needs improvement as a hurdler; 174 days off and has first-time headgear.
7 8th (7) (16/1 -220%) Heart Above	16 16/1(-220%)	(7) Heart Above 16/1, Yet to match his fairly useful bumper form in this sphere, beating only one in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) 30 days ago when going in snatches. Hard to warm to. Placed in all bumpers but soundly beaten over hurdles, favourite for handicap debut latest.
3 \|PU\| (3) (100/1 -614%) Blue Clover	100 100/1(-614%)	(3) Blue Clover 100/1, Had breathing surgery before pulled up on yard debut (formerly with Fergal O'Brien) in novice hurdle at Ayr (16f, soft) 51 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement. Pulled up on final start for Fergal O'Brien and debut for new yard; makes handicap debut.
10 \|PU\| (10) (200/1 -203%) Star Of Markinch	200 200/1(-203%)	(10) Star Of Markinch 200/1, Has twice made the frame in points but little impact under Rules and looks set for another struggle from 4 lb out of the handicap. Low-level maiden who has not accomplished much over the last year; 4lb out of the handicap.

13:57 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

NORTHERN CARDINAL posted his best effort so far when finishing runner-up in a deeper handicap hurdle over this C&D on his most recent start and, having undergone wind surgery since, this could be a good time to catch Lucinda Russell's five-year-old. Dapper Gent has a similar profile from races elsewhere and rates a player from a workable mark. Foxwood and Marty Mcfly are a couple of other likely improvers to consider.

DAPPER GENT looks very much the way to go here given he starts life in handicaps at the top of his game and on a lenient mark. Marty McFly is next on the list on the back of an encouraging debut fourth for Sandy Thomson, with Northern Cardinal also in the mix if building on his C&D second after wind surgery.

Northern Cardinal and Marty McFly are respected but DAPPER GENT is preferred on his handicap debut.

14:10 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 (9) (33/1 -136%) Fahrenheit Seven	33 33/1(-136%)	(9) Fahrenheit Seven 33/1, Posted fair form in a trio of maidens over shorter trip this year and ought to do better now sent handicapping. His opening mark could have been kinder, however. Receives plenty of weight all round but has something to prove upped 2f in trip.
1 1st (1) (6/1 -9%) Finn's Charm	6 6/1(-9%)	(1) Finn's Charm 6/1, Winner of 1m Musselburgh handicap on 2023 reappearance and shaped pretty well on return this time round, too, when sixth of 13 at Chester (7.6f) last month. However, failed to build on that at Epsom latest and others make more appeal. May benefit from this drop back in trip and remains well treated on peak performance.
6 2nd (6) (13/2 -18%) Son Of Man	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(6) Son Of Man 13/2, Overcame greenness to make a winning debut at Yarmouth (6f) in September and far from disgraced in better company last term. May have needed recent Haydock return but percentage call is to look elsewhere. Group placed at two; never dangerous in notable 3yo handicap on reappearance.
5 3rd (5) (9/2 +36%) Darkness	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(5) Darkness 9/2, Just 1 win from 25 Flat starts but has dropped to a handy mark and was ridden too aggressively when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Epsom (7f, soft) 9 days ago. Not discounted. Only 1-25 for current yard but went close off 3lb higher in this race last year.
2 4th (2) (7/2 +22%) Toimy Son	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(2) Toimy Son 7/2, Back on track when good second of 12 in handicap over C&D (good) 16 days ago. Can race off same mark and is one for shortlist. Encouraging effort over C&D last time, beating all bar a progressive rival; respected.
8 5th (8) (50/1 -733%) Speeding Bullet	50 50/1(-733%)	(8) Speeding Bullet 50/1, Consistent on the whole as a 2-y-o, opening his account in a Newmarket nursery (7f) in October prior to a creditable fourth at Kempton on final outing. Made little impact on recent Epsom return, though, and others look better treated. May rebound with Epsom reappearance under his belt; progressive on turf last term.
4 6th (4) (100/1 -1329%) Cephalus	100 100/1(-1329%)	(4) Cephalus 100/1, Had a highly productive year on AW, completing 4-timer in 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f) in March, and shaped well when fourth at Chelmsford City (7f) 57 days ago. Yet to prove himself on turf, though. Likely player based on 2024 AW form but his turf record is far from convincing.
3 7th (3) (100/1 -900%) Sir Winston	100 100/1(-900%)	(3) Sir Winston 100/1, Three-time winner last term who returned to form when fourth of 9 in Gr 2 at Sakhir (7f, good to firm) in February. Fairly treated, back handicapping, and merits consideration. On a career-high mark returned to home soil but should take well to Goodwood.
7 8th (7) (100/1 -1900%) Racingbreaks Ryder	100 100/1(-1900%)	(7) Racingbreaks Ryder 100/1, Form tailed off after a very promising start in handicaps last season but took a sizable step forward on first 2 starts this term when fourth in 12-runner handicap over C&D last month. On an attractive mark if he can build on that Ties in with Toimy Son on C&D running last month; 7lb below last winning mark.

14:10 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Finn's Charm might have struggled in a hot 0-105 contest at Epsom recently, but it would be unwise to rule him out now eased in class from a sliding handicap mark. TOIMY SON bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot over C&D last time out, though, and any further progression can see David Menuisier's gelding go one better. Son Of Man was never involved on last month's seasonal return, but he could fare better with that under his belt.

It could be worth chancing RACINGBREAKS RYDER, who has been given a chance by the handicapper and took a step back in the right direction here last time. Toimy Son and Sir Winston should also go well.

The most appealing contenders are TOIMY SON and Racingbreaks Ryder, who both shaped encouragingly here 16 days ago.

14:20 Punchestown Handicap Chase 20f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (11/1 +45%) Flanking Maneuver	11 11/1(+45%)	(2) Flanking Maneuver 11/1, 12/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eleventh of 16 in handicap chase at Ballinrobe (23.4f, good) 13 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Badly hampered at this venue at the festival, failed to make an impact at Ballinrobe.
13 1st (13) (11/8 +50%) Mousey Brown	1.375 11/8(+50%)	(13) Mousey Brown 11/8, Promising sort. Fairly useful winner at 24f over hurdles. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase (3/1) at Kilbeggan (20.4f, good) 7 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Capable of better still and is one to side with again. Exploited a favourable mark at Kilbeggan last week, looks capable of coping with 10lb rise.
6 2nd (6) (12/1 -9%) Railway Hurricane	12 12/1(-9%)	(6) Railway Hurricane 12/1, Unreliable type. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (20.4f, good, 17/2) 23 days ago, left poorly placed. Has won only one of his 28 starts over fences, not a betting proposition on that basis.
1 3rd (1) (9/1 +44%) Mars Harper	9 9/1(+44%)	(1) Mars Harper 9/1, Bit below form fifth of 17 in handicap chase (33/1) at this C&D (soft) 37 days ago. Has been too high in the ratings since Listowel festival win, good 7lb claimer aboard.
4 4th (4) (50/1 -52%) Irish Blaze	50 50/1(-52%)	(4) Irish Blaze 50/1, Latest win in chase at Down Royal in January. Probably in better heart than his last 2 form figures might suggest, almost certainly failing to stay the markedly longer trip when eleventh of 15 in handicap chase at Killarney (26f, good to soft, 33/1) 28 days ago. Not taken lightly back down in trip. Does not seem to be well handicapped on the evidence of runs at Aintree and Killarney.
10 5th (10) (40/1 -150%) Macgiloney	40 40/1(-150%)	(10) Macgiloney 40/1, Reliable sort. Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap chase at Killarney (26f, good to soft, 12/1) 28 days ago, never travelling well. Can give a good account. Seven-time hurdles winner, over three years since the second of his two wins over fences.
11 6th (11) (8/1 -129%) Slane Hill	8 8/1(-129%)	(11) Slane Hill 8/1, 11/4, respectable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Navan (22f, heavy). Off 6 months. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap chase debut. May well do better. Winner of his only start over fences, ran only once last season, first-time cheekpieces.
14 7th (14) (28/1 -133%) Gateau De Miel	28 28/1(-133%)	(14) Gateau De Miel 28/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 14 in handicap chase at Down Royal (24f, soft, 18/1). Off 7 months. Tailed off at Down Royal last November, previously remote seventh behind Mars Harper.
8 8th (8) (14/1 -75%) Slip Of The Tongue	14 14/1(-75%)	(8) Slip Of The Tongue 14/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap chase at Naas (20f, heavy, 4/1) 105 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Disappointing on his only two starts last season but premature to write off.
9 9th (9) (7/1 -27%) Jasmin De Cotte	7 7/1(-27%)	(9) Jasmin De Cotte 7/1, Promising type. Didn't need to be at best when winning 14-runner novice chase at Kilbeggan (20.4f, good, 2/1) 23 days ago, responding well. Makes handicap chase debut. Looks competitive on form. Winning favourite at Kilbeggan last month on second start over fences, promising youngster.
7 \|F\| (7) (16/1 +0%) Elle Perfecta	16 16/1(+0%)	(7) Elle Perfecta 16/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Pulled up in handicap chase at Cheltenham (20.2f, soft, 9/1), pulled up 3 out. Off 6 months. Kilbeggan winner on chasing debut, absent since pulled up at Cheltenham last November.
3 \|U\| (3) (400/1 -1500%) Hereditary Rule	400 400/1(-1500%)	(3) Hereditary Rule 400/1, Course winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, good to soft, 16/1) 19 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Out of form since a big handicap win at last year's festival at this track, up against it.
5 10th (5) (16/1 -113%) Rexem	16 16/1(-113%)	(5) Rexem 16/1, Latest win in chase at Ludlow in October. Seventh of 8 in handicap chase (10/1) at Ayr (16.5f, good). Off 7 months. Back up in trip. Ludlow winner over 2m4f on good last autumn, lacks the benefit of a recent outing.
12 \|PU\| (12) (40/1 -100%) The Friday Man	40 40/1(-100%)	(12) The Friday Man 40/1, Five wins from 16 NH runs. 12/1, first run since leaving Gordon Elliott when creditable fifth of 11 in novice chase at Limerick (19.7f, good) 17 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Ex-Gordon Elliott, makes handicap debut off 11lb lower than his current hurdles rating.

14:20 Punchestown Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A chase mark of 106 proved far too lenient for MOUSEY BROWN, who recorded a cosy success at Kilbeggan a week ago. A 10lb rise will ask more questions of her, but she is open to further improvement over the larger obstacles and her prominent style of racing will suit around here. Jasmin De Cotte has few miles on the clock himself and he is interesting from an opening chase figure of 123, having struck at Kilbeggan last month. Slane Hill could have a say on his return from a 203-day absence, while Railway Hurricane is also noted.

MOUSEY BROWN justified market confidence when making a winning handicap debut in this sphere at Kilbeggan last week and she remains very well treated on hurdles form. Unexposed pair Jasmin de Cotte and Slane Hill head the dangers.

Even with the addition of 10lb for her Kilbeggan win MOUSEY BROWN remains 12lb below her hurdles rating and will be hard to beat

14:32 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 (6) (10/1 +17%) Bix Beiderbecke	10 10/1(+17%)	(6) Bix Beiderbecke 10/1, Opened his account at the second time of asking over hurdles in C&D novice 13 months ago but his subsequent handicap efforts have been disappointing. Something to prove at present. C&D winner 13 months ago; handicapper on top since and an easy lead is unlikely here.
11 (11) (16/1 -33%) Thats Jet	16 16/1(-33%)	(11) Thats Jet 16/1, Modest on the Flat but has shown more over hurdles, running to a fair level when runner-up in a Killarney maiden in August (final start for Ross O'Sullivan). Hasn't matched that in 4 starts for his current yard, though, including on handicap debut here last time. Not matched Irish form for new yard but may do so now fitted with headgear.
5 1st (5) (8/1 -100%) Kinbara Firstdraft	8 8/1(-100%)	(5) Kinbara Firstdraft 8/1, Just modest form over hurdles thus far, latest when third of 10 in novice over C&D (good to soft) 24 days ago, but looks the type to do better now sent handicapping. Promising 3rd over C&D last month; moves into handicaps with the potential for more.
12 2nd (12) (25/1 +0%) Darkest Day	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Darkest Day 25/1, Recorded back-to-back wins at Kelso in September but hasn't been in the same form since, albeit he may have needed the outing when well held at Hexham last month. Two Kelso wins last September; well-beaten 50-1 shot on last month's return to action.
2 3rd (2) (11/4 +77%) Belle Of Annandale	2.75 11/4(+77%)	(2) Belle Of Annandale 11/4, Won over C&D on debut for this yard last summer and added to that success at Musselburgh in November. However, not been in same form since and is now tried in cheekpieces. Lightly raced C&D winner; down in grade and return to better ground a plus; new headgear.
10 4th (10) (9/2 +50%) Malangen	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(10) Malangen 9/2, Returning from 6 months off when creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Hexham (16.2f, soft) 8 days ago. Goes well here (4-time course winner) and is an interesting contender. Multiple course winner; pleasing return from an absence last week; should run his race.
8 5th (8) (66/1 -1786%) Muhtaluza	66 66/1(-1786%)	(8) Muhtaluza 66/1, No real impact in maiden company but is still low mileage and may do better on switch to handicapping here. Poor form in four maiden hurdles; this is more suitable & the betting should be revealing.
1 6th (1) (100/1 -614%) Inferno Sacree	100 100/1(-614%)	(1) Inferno Sacree 100/1, Enjoyed a most productive spell when winning 5 times from 6 starts in the first half of 2023, including at this C&D. Has found it tougher since, doing too much soon here last time. Well treated if scaling a revival. Handicapper on top in 2024; down in grade today but there are risks involved.
7 7th (7) (100/1 -400%) Burgundy Man	100 100/1(-400%)	(7) Burgundy Man 100/1, Seven-race maiden over hurdles who hasn't been seen for 3 years and is best watched on debut for new yard. Absent for 1,094 days; reduced mark but risky on stable debut.
4 8th (4) (100/1 -2400%) Kilbrainy	100 100/1(-2400%)	(4) Kilbrainy 100/1, Got off the mark in impressive style, after 4 months off, in conditional jockeys' handicap at Kelso (20.9f) in October. Possibly found the race coming too soon at Carlisle 11 days later and returns to action with yard amongst the winners. Easy win at Kelso (2m5f) in October; beaten on heavy 11 days later; off since & 8lb higher.
3 9th (3) (100/1 -203%) Carrarea	100 100/1(-203%)	(3) Carrarea 100/1, Dual bumper winner for Emmet Mullins and again over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m) for Mark Walford early last season. Sold for £2,000 and yet to make an impact in a couple of outings for this yard. Struggled in the mud for new yard but the return to a sound surface could revive fortunes.
13 \|PU\| (13) (100/1 -900%) Solway Molly	100 100/1(-900%)	(13) Solway Molly 100/1, Bumper winner who got off the mark at the ninth attempt in this sphere when making all at Hexham (20.1f) in October. However, not so good on both subsequent outings (lost a shoe on latest) so returns with a bit to prove. In good form last autumn but lost her way and now returns from 200 days off.
9 \|PU\| (9) (100/1 -1233%) Aldbourne	100 100/1(-1233%)	(9) Aldbourne 100/1, Fair Flat winner who has been brought along steadily in a trio of starts in this sphere and shaped better than the distance beaten when tenth of 15 in novice at Wetherby (16f, heavy) 73 days ago. Open to improvement on handicap hurdle debut. Two-time Flat winner; yet to shine over hurdles but handicaps provide a better opportunity.

14:32 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Irish raider Muhtaluza is unexposed and merits consideration for the powerful Gordon Elliott yard, while Malangen and Aldbourne also rate as shortlist material at this level and signals from the betting market should be heeded where those three are concerned. However, handicap debutant KINBARA FIRSTDRAFT offers the most intrigue on these terms and is fancied to build on last month's third-placed finish over C&D from an attractive opening mark. Kilbrainy goes well fresh and is also feared.

MALANGEN has a fine record at this course and arrives on back of an encouraging return to action at Hexham last week. He gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Kilbrainy and Kinbara Firstdraft head the list of dangers.

A trappy race in which BELLE OF ANNANDALE is marginally preferred to Thats Jet.

14:45 Goodwood Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

PRINCIPALITY hit the woodwork in a typically warm Newmarket novice on his debut last month and the son of Calyx, who holds an entry in the Group 2 Railway Stakes later this month, is fancied to go one better. Wathnan Racing have shot to prominence in recent weeks and their representative Carrados was a slightly disappointing favourite at Leicester 12 days ago, though he should improve for the experience. Of the debutants, Abstract Art appeals most.

PRINCIPALITY shaped with plenty of encouragement behind one that may be destined for pattern level when second at Newmarket and should take plenty of beating. Carrados failed to meet expectations at Leicester on debut but he still offered plenty to work on and better can be expected now.

The form pick is Newmarket runner-up PRINCIPALITY, ahead of Carrados who commands serious respect with major progress on the cards.

15 (15) (66/1 +0%) Daicheadacuig	66 66/1(+0%)	(15) Daicheadacuig 66/1, One win from 30 NH runs. Blinkered for 1st time, pulled up in handicap chase at Ballinrobe (23f, good to soft, 40/1), pulled up before 3 out. Off 8 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Engaged 4.17 Punchestown Saturday. Pulled up on his last three runs over fences late last summer when last seen; best watched.
10 1st (10) (7/1 +0%) Sargent Lightfoot	7 7/1(+0%)	(10) Sargent Lightfoot 7/1, Fairly useful winner at 19f in chases. Second of 12 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (20.4f, good, 12/1) 23 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Switches from chase to hurdles. Can make presence felt. Fine effort after nine months off when touched off in a handicap chase at Kilbeggan latest.
9 2nd (9) (9/1 -29%) Missus Beeton	9 9/1(-29%)	(9) Missus Beeton 9/1, Belatedly off the mark when landing 10-runner handicap hurdle (11/2) at Limerick (19f, soft) 10 days ago. 4 lb fair and ought to go well again. Gained a deserved success in a Limerick handicap hurdle last week; up 4lb for that; claims.
3 3rd (3) (5/2 +29%) Joyeux Vivo	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(3) Joyeux Vivo 5/2, Found improvement when third of 17 in handicap hurdle (3/1) at Cork (20f, good) 29 days ago. Remains fairly treated and is one for shortlist. Third in a 2m4f handicap at Cork last month; might want further but should be competitive.
5 4th (5) (25/1 +24%) San Martino	25 25/1(+24%)	(5) San Martino 25/1, Thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft, 66/1) 6 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Below form on last hurdle run. 1-39 overall; ran well in a couple of handicap hurdles in the Spring; not dismissed.
1 5th (1) (11/1 -83%) Costanuci	11 11/1(-83%)	(1) Costanuci 11/1, 8/1, fourth of 10 in novice chase at Killarney (20.8f, good to soft) on debut over fences 28 days ago, not knocked about.

11 6th (11) (16/1 +52%) Down Around	16 16/1(+52%)	(11) Down Around 16/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at this course (19.4f, good to soft, 33/1) 40 days ago, pulled up before last. Makes limited appeal. Beaten out of sight in two runs for his current trainer; others preferred this time.
14 7th (14) (11/2 +45%) Must Be Dreaming	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(14) Must Be Dreaming 11/2, One win from 24 NH runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.2f, good to soft, 6/1) 8 days ago. Not taken lightly. Consistent efforts her last three runs in handicaps bring her into this; each-way chance.
4 8th (4) (14/1 -40%) Purse Price	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) Purse Price 14/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f in chases. 12/1, career best when winning 7-runner novice chase at Tramore (15.5f, good to soft) on debut over fences 8 days ago, driven clear. Warrants respect on return to hurdling. Comes here in good form after winning on her chasing debut at Tramore last weekend.
6 9th (6) (11/1 -57%) Winding River	11 11/1(-57%)	(6) Winding River 11/1, 5/1, creditable second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Each-way claims. Good run at Downpatrick; stable in good form and comes here with a realistic chance.

12 11th (12) (12/1 -100%) Smallcraftwarning	12 12/1(-100%)	(12) Smallcraftwarning 12/1, Winner in hurdle at Thurles in February. 11/2, good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Back up in trip. Not out of things. Goes well for this rider, ground is okay and should go well if the step up in trip suits.
7 12th (7) (125/1 -793%) Room To Roam	125 125/1(-793%)	(7) Room To Roam 125/1, Pulled up in handicap chase at Clonmel (20.7f, heavy, 14/1), pulled up. Off 7 months. Switches from chase to hurdles.

14:55 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Having scored with some ease on her chase bow at Tramore last week, Purse Price must enter calculations on this switch back to hurdles. However, the Gordon Elliott-trained mare may have to play second fiddle to fellow last-time-out winner MISSUS BEETON. The six-year-old scored a shade cosily over 2m3f at Limerick and there looks to be more to come over this distance. Smallcraftwarning also arrives in good heart and completes the shortlist.

JOYEUX VIVO is still relatively low mileage and posted his best effort yet over hurdles when third at Cork last month. He can get off the mark. Missus Beeton and Costanuci head the list of dangers.

With the McKiernan stable in good form, marginal preference is for WINDING RIVER after a good run at Downpatrick

15:07 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (9/1 -38%) Parisencore	9 9/1(-38%)	(4) Parisencore 9/1, Couple of good efforts over fences in the winter and shaped encouragingly under an aggressive ride on return from a 3-month absence when fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, good) 32 days ago. Player. Began chasing career with three good runs (2m-2m1f); tries a new trip today.
8 2nd (8) (13/2 -225%) God's Own Getaway	6.5 13/2(-225%)	(8) God's Own Getaway 13/2, Low-mileage 6-y-o who made a successful chasing debut in handicap at Southwell (20.4f) in April before bumping into another upwardly-mobile sort at Warwick. Regained the winning thread at Market Rasen (19.2f, good) 17 days ago and he's likely to progress again. 2-3 since switched to fences this spring and probably still has potential; shortlisted.
1 3rd (1) (80/1 -567%) Francky Du Berlais	80 80/1(-567%)	(1) Francky Du Berlais 80/1, Placed 3 times last season, including when second in cross-country event at Cheltenham in December, but was well held in the Topham at Aintree when last seen and cheekpieces now go on. Back down to a good mark now but well beaten on both outings this year.
2 4th (2) (13/2 +28%) Presentandcounting	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(2) Presentandcounting 13/2, Won 2 small-field chases at Ffos Las and Perth in the summer but went off the boil after. Always behind in Grade 2 handicap at Cheltenham last month after 7 months off but entitled to come on for that. Prolific chase winner on good ground; will find this easier than Cheltenham reappearance.
7 5th (7) (40/1 -233%) Ganapathi	40 40/1(-233%)	(7) Ganapathi 40/1, Useful hurdle/chase winner for Willie Mullins but drawn a blank for a couple of yards since coming to Britain, faring no better on his debut for Sandy Thomson at Bangor. Hard to fancy. Regressed last season and made low-key stable debut last month; needs to up his game.
9 6th (9) (100/1 -1567%) Planned Paradise	100 100/1(-1567%)	(9) Planned Paradise 100/1, Sketchily jumper turned in a couple of sour performances after joining this yard but looked far more enthusiastic when runner-up in a 7-runner event at Fakenham (29.1f, good) 33 days ago. Remains on an interest mark dropped significantly back down in trip. Back in form when second in Fakenham marathon last month; this track also suits.
3 7th (3) (100/1 -809%) Motown Maggie	100 100/1(-809%)	(3) Motown Maggie 100/1, Scored at Navan in March 2023. Looked rusty on return from 13-month absence when down the field at Kilbeggan last month, neither travelling or jumping with much fluency, Will need to come on plenty from that to figure. Dual 2m4f chase winner in 2022-23 season; probably needed last month's return run.
5 8th (5) (100/1 -2122%) Fix At All	100 100/1(-2122%)	(5) Fix At All 100/1, Landed a brace of hunters for Michael Scudamore last spring and built on a promising return to action to land a 9-runner handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, good, 6/1) 27 days ago. Up 6 lb but should remain competitive. Came good for current stable with clearcut win at Hereford last month; respected.
6 \|PU\| (6) (100/1 -614%) Findthetime	100 100/1(-614%)	(6) Findthetime 100/1, Landed a pair of small-field handicaps in the winter for Nicky Richards, albeit very fortunate to do so at Newcastle on latter occasion. Below form when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at this C&D (soft) on yard debut 46 days ago and others make greater appeal. Made underwhelming stable debut over C&D in April and is down the pecking order today.

15:07 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Having produced a taking display when landing the spoils at Hereford last month, Fix At All must enter calculations racing off only a 6lb higher rating. However, the eight-year-old may prove vulnerable to the fast-improving GOD'S OWN GETAWAY. The Dan Skelton-trained gelding is chasing a third victory over fences on just his fourth appearance in this sphere and he's taken to further enhance his tally. Any market support for Irish raider Motown Maggie would be interesting.

GOD'S OWN GETAWAY has made a fine start to his chasing career and Dan Skelton's 6-y-o can gain his third win since switching to the larger obstacles. Parisencore ran well despite being pestered for the lead at Kelso and also makes the shortlist, whilst Fix At All can't be discounted on the back of his Hereford success.

After his good performance at Hereford in May, FIX AT ALL is taken to follow up off a 6lb higher mark.

4 6th (4) (14/1 -180%) Roysdelight	14 14/1(-180%)	(4) Roysdelight 14/1, Progressive form, fourth of 8 in novice event (28/1) at Salisbury (5f, good) 15 days ago. Needs considering. Steadily getting the hang of things; good fourth at Salisbury most recently; in the mix.
1 7th (1) (66/1 -1367%) Clay Shoveler	66 66/1(-1367%)	(1) Clay Shoveler 66/1, Better with each run, second of 10 in novice at Windsor (5.1f, good) 55 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Moving steadily in the right direction, runner-up at Windsor most recently; hood applied.
7 8th (7) (8/1 -191%) Double O One	8 8/1(-191%)	(7) Double O One 8/1, Better effort in maidens when second of 8 at Brighton (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Player. Leading player on latest effort (Brighton second) and yard has a good record in this race.

15:20 Goodwood Seller (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Jack Channon landed the corresponding event 12 months ago and he could do so once more with DOUBLE O ONE. The daughter of Showcasing weakened into second late on having raced keenly over 6f at Brighton last time out, so a return to the minimum trip could hold the key. Both Clay Shoveler and Coiled have produced a consistent level of form across their three racecourse appearances and are unlikely to be far away. Hettie Jack is another to take into consideration.

Little to choose between most of these but ROYSDELIGHT and Clay Shoveler are both progressive, with the former shading the vote. Hettie Jack offered something to work on at Doncaster and is another to consider.

With the drop back in trip a likely plus, DOUBLE O ONE gets the vote. Clay Shoveler is second choice.

Form	Odds	Runs
18 (18) (11/1 -10%) Two Become One	11 11/1(-10%)	(18) Two Become One 11/1, 8/1, second of 12 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good) on NH debut 23 days ago. Open to progress. Also placed in a British point and hghly respected for leading yard. Step up in trip from Kilbeggan likely to suit and could improve enough to be a factor here.
16 (16) (20/1 +0%) Tell Me This	20 20/1(+0%)	(16) Tell Me This 20/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Third of 8 at Leopardstown (16f, heavy, 22/1) on bumper debut 97 days ago. Switches to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Nina Walsh. Debuts here for Ross O'Sullivan and likely to improve for whatever she does this time.
6 (6) (66/1 +0%) Dear Orla	66 66/1(+0%)	(6) Dear Orla 66/1, €15,000 3-y-o, €9,000 5-y-o, Malinas mare. Half-sister to a point winner. Dam unraced sister to fair hurdler/useful chaser (2m-2½m winner) Gentle Alice. Placed in points, latest in April. Not discounted. Placed in three points but more needed on her racecourse debut.
19 (19) (66/1 +0%) Westernersunrise	66 66/1(+0%)	(19) Westernersunrise 66/1, Westerner mare. Half-sister to hurdler/chaser Definiteadare. Unplaced sole start in points (May 25). Showed some ability in a Tralee point last month; others preferred though on her track bow.
10 (10) (100/1 +33%) Kipeen Lady	100 100/1(+33%)	(10) Kipeen Lady 100/1, Snow Sky mare. Half-sister to a point winner. Dam point winner. Wears tongue strap. Pulled up in three points and very hard to fancy on that evidence; tongue-tie tried.
9 1st (9) (7/4 -119%) Just For Love	1.75 7/4(-119%)	(9) Just For Love 7/4, Looked a good prospect when overcoming greenness to land the odds in bumper at Galway (16.6f, soft) on NH debut. Off 9 months but she's a very interesting hurdling debutante for top yard. Looked a mare of some promise at Galway and sure to take the beating on her hurdles debut.
14 2nd (14) (3/1 +14%) Rosalys	3 3/1(+14%)	(14) Rosalys 3/1, Bumper winner for Emma Lavelle who has shaped encouragingly sent hurdling, third of 17 in novice hurdle at Cork (19.2f, good) 29 days ago. Likely to improve further. Well in the mix. Third at Cork last month; extra two furlongs look likely to suit her and should go well.
4 3rd (4) (13/2 +7%) Cottesloe Sunshine	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(4) Cottesloe Sunshine 13/2, Promising type. 8/1, ninth of 13 at Wexford (16f, good to soft) on bumper debut 45 days ago. Switches back to hurdles (third on debut at Fairyhouse) so can do better. Firmly in the picture. Promising debut at Fairyhouse in February not matched in a Wexford bumper in April.
3 4th (3) (40/1 -186%) Built By Rossies	40 40/1(-186%)	(3) Built By Rossies 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, sixth of 16 in novice hurdle at this course (20f, good to soft) on NH debut 19 days ago. Needs to build on it. Showed some promise despite some poor jumping on debut here last month; should do better.
2 5th (2) (100/1 -100%) Birmingham Alabama	100 100/1(-100%)	(2) Birmingham Alabama 100/1, €28,000 5-y-o, Ocovango mare. Dam (h80), maiden hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Indian Castle. Gamely off mark in points at second attempt (March 9th) so needs considering. Kirkistown point winner in March; best watched though on her track debut.
5 6th (5) (25/1 +24%) Dawn Escape	25 25/1(+24%)	(5) Dawn Escape 25/1, Promising individual. 80/1, third of 20 in novice hurdle at this course (19.8f, good) on NH debut. Off 12 months but should still improve. Respected on her run here last year but hard to know what to expect on point form.
1 7th (1) (11/2 +66%) Ashdale Flyer	5.5 11/2(+66%)	(1) Ashdale Flyer 11/2, Fair hurdler. Pulled up in novice hurdle (5/1) at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) 97 days ago, pulled up before last. Needs to bounce back. Soundly beaten last twice; questions to answer now not least on the ground; not dismissed.
15 8th (15) (11/1 -38%) Smiling Bess	11 11/1(-38%)	(15) Smiling Bess 11/1, Fair hurdler. Respectable seventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (16.5f, good to soft, 5/2) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Possibilities. Has not kicked on from Navan and tries a new trip here on better ground; others preferred.
20 9th (20) (33/1 -175%) Wyoming Baby	33 33/1(-175%)	(20) Wyoming Baby 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. 2/1 and hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Michael Winters when third of 9 in bumper at Tipperary (18f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and this point winner can't be ruled out for new yard with hood added. Extra trip on her hurdles debut is likely to suit but she looks to have a bit to find.
13 \|PU\| (13) (150/1 +25%) Nanny Betty	150 150/1(+25%)	(13) Nanny Betty 150/1, Ocovango mare. Sister to modest hurdler Reserve Judgement, and half-sister to fair chaser Henschke. Failed to complete in both points; others far more likely.
8 \|PU\| (8) (200/1 -203%) Jump The Burren	200 200/1(-203%)	(8) Jump The Burren 200/1, Champs Elysees mare. Dam, fairly useful hurdler, is a half-sister to useful hurdle/chase winner (stayed 25f) Hester Flemen. Market can guide. Unseated on point debut at Dawstown last month; best watched on her track debut.
7 \|PU\| (7) (300/1 -355%) Dontcall	300 300/1(-355%)	(7) Dontcall 300/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in bumper at Downpatrick (17.7f, good, 33/1) on NH debut 30 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Faded late on debut in a Downpatrick bumper last month; others preferred on hurdles bow.
12 \|PU\| (12) (300/1 -355%) Milan Dollar Lady	300 300/1(-355%)	(12) Milan Dollar Lady 300/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in novice hurdle (125/1) at Limerick (16.4f, soft) 10 days ago, going in snatches. Significantly up in trip. Has shown little in three runs in maiden hurdles; steps up in trip but hard to recommend.
11 \|PU\| (11) (300/1 -200%) Little Green Lady	300 300/1(-200%)	(11) Little Green Lady 300/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, sixteenth of 18 in bumper at this course (18.4f, heavy) 161 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. No sign of winning potential in her three bumper runs; seems safe to rule out.
17 \|PU\| (17) (500/1 -150%) Theoneiwant	500 500/1(-150%)	(17) Theoneiwant 500/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Never a factor on debut at Clonmel last month and a very unlikely player here.

15:30 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JUST FOR LOVE shaped like a smart prospect when making a winning debut in a Galway bumper in September last season. The Willie Mullins-trained mare looks just the type to excel now tackling hurdles on her return to action and she can take this en route to bigger things. Cork third Rosalys may serve the most resistance to the selection now upped in distance, ahead of Smiling Bess, who shouldn't be far away if producing her best form.

Willie Mullins' JUST FOR LOVE looked a good prospect when making a winning start in bumpers at Galway and can defy a lengthy absence to go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Cottesloe Sunshine rates the pick of those with hurdling experience and is next on the list ahead of Rosalys who also has better days ahead of her and can have a say.

The one to be on though is JUST FOR LOVE who looked a reasonable prospect when winning her bumper at Galway in September

15:42 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (10/3 +17%) Ballygrifincottage	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(4) Ballygrifincottage 10/3, Produced his best effort for a while when runner-up in a Sandown handicap in March and was in the mix in the latter stages when seventh of 26 in Scottish Grand National next time. Again ran well when third at Uttoxeter (24f) in May and he can give another good account. May be better suited by slower ground but has posted some good efforts since February.
5 (5) (40/1 -233%) Gold Cup Bailly	40 40/1(-233%)	(5) Gold Cup Bailly 40/1, Won first 3 starts sent chasing in 2022/23, but well held on final 2 outings that season before a 12-month absence. Reverted to hurdling, unsuited by way race developed when third of 4 in minor event at Down Royal (24f) last month. Cheekpieces now applied back over fences. Back from long absence with two disappointing runs this spring; cheekpieces now added.
8 1st (8) (7/2 +46%) Statuario	3.5 7/2(+46%)	(8) Statuario 7/2, Won here on his final 2 starts (both at 20.1f) in 2022 before missing 18 months. With 2 runs behind him following his absence, showed a good attitude when bouncing back to winning ways at this C&D last month. Not discounted at this venue. C&D winner when eased in grade last month (front pair clear); has more on his plate today.
1 2nd (1) (6/1 -50%) Hang In There	6 6/1(-50%)	(1) Hang In There 6/1, Won 5 times in 2022/23 and proved better than ever when adding to his tally at Stratford and Worcester last season. After 6 months off, good second in the Silver Trophy Chase at Cheltenham (20.6f) in April and he's a major player with that run behind him. Seven-time chase winner; career-best form when second in 2m4f Grade 2 handicap in April.
2 3rd (2) (15/8 +58%) Duffle Coat	1.875 15/8(+58%)	(2) Duffle Coat 15/8, Unbeaten as a juvenile hurdler but had been proving expensive to follow since then, including sent chasing last season. However, 14/1, back in handicap company he opened his chase account in emphatic fashion at Ballinrobe (23.4f) 13 days ago. Respected. Ridden clear to win valuable Mayo National at Ballinrobe last month; commands respect.
3 4th (3) (4/1 +0%) Karl Philippe	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Karl Philippe 4/1, Useful handicap chaser who has returned to form fitted with a tongue tie, getting back to winning ways at Kempton (24f) last month. Not always the most fluent of jumpers but he can make his presence felt in his current mood. Back on track with two good runs at Kempton this spring, the latter a win; in the mix.
7 5th (7) (100/1 -1233%) Saint Arvans	100 100/1(-1233%)	(7) Saint Arvans 100/1, Successful at this C&D a year ago and has held his form well in the main since. After 8 months off, left behind a rare lesser effort when runner-up at Uttoxeter (24f) 22 days ago. This is tougher but he can give his running once more. In career-best form last spring/summer and ran big race in defeat on recent reappearance.
6 \|PU\| (6) (100/1 -733%) Definite Plan	100 100/1(-733%)	(6) Definite Plan 100/1, Was in decent heart early last season, including when runner-up in this same race. However, pulled up at Fairyhouse in December and, after a further 6 months off, unseated rider at the first at Ballinrobe 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Not getting any younger but gave good account when second in this race last year.

15:42 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

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

HANG IN THERE returned to action with a very respectable second in the Grade 2 Silver Trophy at Cheltenham in April. A 1lb drop in the ratings looks lenient for Emma Lavelle's charge and he should take plenty of beating if handling this step up in distance. Duffle Coat is also sure to prove popular after his ready triumph in the Mayo National at Ballinrobe and he is feared most, ahead of fellow last-time-out winner Karl Philippe.

HANG IN THERE picked up where he left off when runner-up in a Grade 2 handicap at Cheltenham in April, despite looking a little rusty after 6 months off, so he can build on that effort to resume winning ways. The main danger could be Duffle Coat, who recorded a first win over fences in good style on his latest outing, with Karl Philippe also considered.

He's not the only one arriving in form but DUFFLE COAT (nap) looked in particularly good nick when landing a valuable prize last month.

15:55 Goodwood Listed (Class 1) 10f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 (8) (10/1 -25%) Seaward	10 10/1(-25%)	(8) Seaward 10/1, Won a 1m Ascot novice last September. Useful effort when 1¼ lengths third of 6 to Forest Fairy in Cheshire Oaks (11f, good) on reappearance in May but one of the first beaten in the Oaks at Epsom 9 days ago. Drop back to 1¼m could suit turned out again quickly. Progressive form in her races below Group 1 level; place possibilities.
2 (2) (14/1 -75%) Beeley	14 14/1(-75%)	(2) Beeley 14/1, Fairly useful form to date, finishing 4¼ lengths fifth of 6 in Cheshire Oaks on latest start. Needs more but it's still early days and first-time blinkers are a possible source of improvement. Chance of winning this prize depends on whether headgear prompts improvement.
4 1st (4) (25/1 +11%) Lava Stream	25 25/1(+11%)	(4) Lava Stream 25/1, Progressed again to win a 1m Doncaster handicap on reappearance 38 days ago. This longer trip promises to be within range but she'll need a chunk of improvement to get heavily involved. Won over 1m in last two appearances; should stay 1m2f; open to further progress.
3 2nd (3) (8/1 -45%) Bolsena	8 8/1(-45%)	(3) Bolsena 8/1, Left previous form behind when winning 12-runner maiden (6/1) at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in April. Backed that up with a good third in 1m York listed race last month. 1¼m should suit her. Likely to go well. Good third in similar event at York on latest 1m start; leading player on form.
6 3rd (6) (9/1 -38%) Nakheel	9 9/1(-38%)	(6) Nakheel 9/1, Very green on AW debut in November and different proposition reappearing to win a 1¼m Ascot maiden 6 months later. Should have more to offer. Dubawi filly who won at Ascot last month and could well have more to offer.
9 4th (9) (18/1 +45%) Strutting	18 18/1(+45%)	(9) Strutting 18/1, AW novice winner last backend. Hasn't matched that form in 2 outings this year, although she did travel powerfully for a long way in a 1½m course handicap latterly so the return to slightly shorter could be a good move. Drop back to 1m2f looks a plus; however, has a lot to find on ratings.
1 5th (1) (80/1 -567%) Ambiente Amigo	80 80/1(-567%)	(1) Ambiente Amigo 80/1, Won maiden/novice events on turf and AW at Lingfield for Michael Bell at the end of last summer but her form has levelled off since, beaten 5¾ lengths when fourth in C&D listed race 15 days ago. Needs improvement. Ran well in similar event over C&D two weeks ago on second start for new stable.
7 6th (7) (8/13 +32%) Sea Just In Time	0.615385 8/13(+32%)	(7) Sea Just In Time 8/13, Sea The Stars filly who created a very good impression when easy winner of a 1¼m Newmarket maiden at the beginning of May. Open to considerable improvement and can take the step up in class in her stride. Impressive in maiden at Newmarket; holds big entries and looks an exciting prospect.
5 7th (5) (40/1 -43%) Love You Darling	40 40/1(-43%)	(5) Love You Darling 40/1, Off the mark at the fifth time of asking in 1¼m Bath novice event 16 days ago but this represents a significant step up in class. Scored narrowly at Bath last time; bottom of this pack on ratings.

15:55 Goodwood Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

SEA JUST IN TIME was most taking when scooting clear of her rivals on debut at Newmarket last month. William Haggas' filly could take this rise in class in her stride before a possible crack at Royal Ascot. She is in the Irish Oaks and the Arc too. Seaward will find this a lot less competitive than her last-placed finish in the Oaks at Epsom recently, with the drop in trip looking a positive move. Bolsena and Nakheel also warrant close inspection.

SEA JUST IN TIME looked good when easily accounting for a next-time-out winner on her Newmarket debut and is a confident pick to make it 2-2. The way in which Bolsena stuck on for a place in a 1m York listed race suggests this longer trip could suit and she's second choice ahead of Ascot maiden winner Nakheel, the mount of WIlliam Buick.

Very promising SEA JUST IN TIME is one to follow. Bolsena, provided she stays the trip, looks the biggest danger.

10 1st (10) (4/1 +33%) Topgun Simmy	4 4/1(+33%)	(10) Topgun Simmy 4/1, Promising type. Fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good, 8/1) on hurdles bow 23 days ago. Up in trip. May well do better. Useful bumper form, may have needed the run when fourth on hurdling debut at Killbeggan.
12 2nd (12) (8/1 -100%) Innatendue	8 8/1(-100%)	(12) Innatendue 8/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 13 hurdle runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 2/1, bit below form third of 9 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Others preferred for win purposes. Runner-up four times over hurdles, frustrating since showing smart form at four.
1 3rd (1) (5/1 +17%) Chosen Thyme	5 5/1(+17%)	(1) Chosen Thyme 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at this course (19.9f, soft) 125 days ago. One of likelier contenders. Bumper winner, fair hurdles form, rated the equal of Lightkeeper, place chance.

14 5th (14) (150/1 -500%) Summertime Romance	150 150/1(-500%)	(14) Summertime Romance 150/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 12f on flat. 200/1, fifth of 19 in novice hurdle at this course (20f, good). Off 8 months. Flat winner, beaten 35l in fifth but not disgraced in a 19-runner maiden here last October.
9 6th (9) (150/1 -200%) Sunshine Diamond	150 150/1(-200%)	(9) Sunshine Diamond 150/1, Notnowcato gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful chaser Call It Magic and fairly useful hurdler Wes Hardin, stayed 2¼m. Dam bumper winner. Half-bother to the useful Call Me Magic and two other winners, weak point-to-point form.
8 7th (8) (20/1 +0%) Stay Gold	20 20/1(+0%)	(8) Stay Gold 20/1, €25,000 3-y-o, Malinas gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (19fm-2¾m winner) High Gales and fairly useful hurdler (3m winner) Low Gales. Market check advised on debut. Unraced dam is a half-sister to two winners, family of smart staying jumper Rule Supreme.
4 8th (4) (17/2 -70%) Lightkeeper	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(4) Lightkeeper 17/2, Fair hurdler. 6/1, respectable third of 16 in novice hurdle at this course (20f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Enters calculations. Apart from poor run has been consistent in maidens but needs to find extra, cheekpieces on.
3 9th (3) (100/1 -525%) John Storey	100 100/1(-525%)	(3) John Storey 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.6f, good, 66/1) on NH debut 13 days ago. Attracted the attention of the stewards with mid-field run at Ballinrobe, may improve.
13 10th (13) (250/1 -279%) Strawberry Diamond	250 250/1(-279%)	(13) Strawberry Diamond 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at this course (20f, good to soft) 19 days ago. No apparent chance on the evidence of her first three maiden hurdle attempts.
6 11th (6) (150/1 -127%) Muskerry Rock	150 150/1(-127%)	(6) Muskerry Rock 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 125/1, ninth of 10 in novice hurdle at this course (22.9f, soft) 146 days ago. Has struggled in three outings including a bumper and maiden hurdle at this track.
5 12th (5) (250/1 -400%) Mr Chester	250 250/1(-400%)	(5) Mr Chester 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1 and hooded, pulled up in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (20.1f, good) on NH debut 7 days ago, pulled up before last.

16:05 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Uncle Pat displayed a willing attitude when making a successful start to his racing career with a triumph in a NH Flat race at Downpatrick in August last year. Willie Mullins' gelding is sure to prove popular now facing obstacles for the first time, but the experienced CHOSEN THYME edges the verdict. The seven-year-old looks well worth another go at a longer distance after his staying-on fourth over 2m4f here in February and he was only beaten a length a quarter that day. Innatendue and Lightkeeper are also noted.

UNCLE PAT kept on well when making a winning bumper debut at Downpatrick last summer and should be suited by this stiffer test of stamina on switch to hurdling. He can land the spoils. Topgun Simmy and LIghtkeeper can also make their presence felt.

This looks like a good opportunity for UNCLE PAT who beat a pair of subsequent maiden hurdle winners on his only bumper start.

Returned to form with hard-fought win in first-time visor last month; up 4lb.
11 1st (11) (9/1 +36%) Cardamon Hill	9 9/1(+36%)	(11) Cardamon Hill 9/1, Yet to score over fences and has been out of form for a while despite coming in for support at Cartmel 2 weeks ago. Headgear back on. Regressive 7yo who was soundly beaten when back over fences at Cartmel last month.
10 2nd (10) (4/1 +33%) Everyday Champagne	4 4/1(+33%)	(10) Everyday Champagne 4/1, First run since leaving Nicky Richards when bagging 12-runner handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, good) in November. Got back on track under a positive ride returned to less testing ground when going down narrowly at Kelso (23.4f, good) last month and not dismissed from the same mark. Ran game race from the front before succumbing to No Regrets at Kelso last month.
4 3rd (4) (10/1 -122%) Cap Du Nord	10 10/1(-122%)	(4) Cap Du Nord 10/1, Grand servant to connections and took advantage of reduced mark when narrow winner at Plumpton in March. Player up 4 lb. Not the force of old but battled on well to snatch a good prize at Plumpton in March.
2 4th (2) (80/1 -1131%) Half Shot	80 80/1(-1131%)	(2) Half Shot 80/1, Produced a career best when doubling his chase tally at Musselburgh in November and best effort since when an eye-catching fourth at Ayr (20.5f) in the spring. Down the field back over hurdles since but of interest back over fences off a winning mark. Creditable fourth in good-quality chase in April and now back on last winning mark.
1 5th (1) (100/1 -900%) Universal Folly	100 100/1(-900%)	(1) Universal Folly 100/1, Completed a hat-trick over fences at Hexham in October and continued in good heart when runner-up at Aintree (25f) and Carlisle (20f). However, beaten long before the extra distance might have been an issue at Musselburgh and showed nothing starting out for this yard here 6 weeks ago. Triple chase winner in 2023 but looked out of sorts over C&D on stable debut in April.
7 6th (7) (100/1 -733%) Brandy Mcqueen	100 100/1(-733%)	(7) Brandy Mcqueen 100/1, Progressive staying hurdler in 2022/23 who made a winning start over fences off 6 lb higher at Kelso in October. Didn't go on from that effort but at least shaped as if back in some sort of form returned to hurdles in recent months. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Ran well for a long way in two spring hurdle races but finished weakly both times.
5 7th (5) (100/1 -1233%) Wasdell Dundalk	100 100/1(-1233%)	(5) Wasdell Dundalk 100/1, Took advantage of reduced mark when completing a C&D hat-trick in August/September. Runner-up at Carlisle next 2 outings, but well held at Haydock when last seen in November. May need this. Triple C&D winner last summer/autumn but has fitness to prove after 197-day absence.
3 \|PU\| (3) (100/1 -1011%) Giovanni Change	100 100/1(-1011%)	(3) Giovanni Change 100/1, Prone to mistakes over hurdles but is a 4-timer winner (all at Market Rasen). Runner-up 2 of his 3 starts over fences, including at Market Rasen on Boxing Day. Respectable third after 5 months off back over hurdles there last month. Four-time hurdle winner; ran quite well over fences in December but others appeal more.
9 \|PU\| (9) (100/1 -1011%) General Probus	100 100/1(-1011%)	(9) General Probus 100/1, Showed ability in 3 starts for Olly Murphy in 2020 and clear of the rest when a good second upped to 24.4f back from a lengthy absence for Keiran Burke at Ascot in November 2022. Off since and has changed yards again. Makes chase debut. Absent since autumn 2022 but makes stable/chase debut from tempting mark; market can guide.
8 \|PU\| (8) (100/1 -733%) Victory Echo	100 100/1(-733%)	(8) Victory Echo 100/1, Dual C&D winner last spring but shaped as if amiss back over hurdles after 8 months off when last seen in February. Won three times last spring (twice over C&D) but off since poor hurdle run in February.
12 \|PU\| (12) (100/1 -614%) Toucan Sam	100 100/1(-614%)	(12) Toucan Sam 100/1, Modest maiden chaser who was placed on all 3 of his starts last month. Opposable at this level. Ran well when third at Kelso a fortnight ago but this race is much more competitive.

16:17 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

A first-time visor proved just the tonic for last month's Kelso scorer NO REGRETS and he could be capable of following up. A 4lb rise is more than fair for Nicky Richards' inmate and he shades the verdict over Giovanni Change, who is unexposed in this sphere and his reappearance third over hurdles at Market Rasen should have put him spot-on. Cap Du Nord and Everyday Champagne are also noted.

HALF SHOT underperformed returned to hurdling last time but he had caught the eye in a better chase than this at Ayr the time before so is worth another chance back in this sphere. Cap du Nord took advantage of his reduced mark at Plumpton in March and remains fairly treated up 4 lb, while Everyday Champagne went close off this mark at Kelso last month.

After running well in a much stronger race than this on his latest chasing start, HALF SHOT is now back on his last winning mark.

16:30 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (10/1 -54%) Tenerife Sunshine	10 10/1(-54%)	(7) Tenerife Sunshine 10/1, It's now 11 runs since his last win in 2023 but he had cheekpieces on when a solid third of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (16f, good) 19 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Largely consistent this year; ran creditably in cheekpieces last time.
4 2nd (4) (11/2 +8%) Vino Victrix	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(4) Vino Victrix 11/2, C&D winner who resumed from 6 months off with a good fourth of 7 in handicap here 16 days ago. One for the shortlist off the same mark. Reappearance effort took his C&D record to 144; in the mix.
2 3rd (2) (100/1 -900%) Spirit Mixer	100 100/1(-900%)	(2) Spirit Mixer 100/1, Landed a hat-trick in first half of 2022 but seen only sparingly since and below par all three starts this spring, cheekpieces on when 13th in Chester Cup last time. Needs to step forward. Out of sorts in four races since 2022 but has slipped to an attractive mark.
3 4th (3) (66/1 +0%) Alright Sunshine	66 66/1(+0%)	(3) Alright Sunshine 66/1, Thoroughly unreliable type who has refused to race and arrives well below par. Can't be supported with any confidence. Has refused to race twice; well held on seasonal debut; risky.
5 5th (5) (50/1 -400%) Yorkindness	50 50/1(-400%)	(5) Yorkindness 50/1, A five-time winner in 2023 who posted a respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Haydock (16.2f, good to soft) 15 days ago. No forlorn hope. This drop back in class may help off current mark.
9 6th (9) (100/1 -2400%) Tronador	100 100/1(-2400%)	(9) Tronador 100/1, A fair Flat performer for Gordon Elliott who caused a surprise on his yard debut when landing handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f) 28 days ago. Much respected back in this sphere. Won over hurdles (stable debut) last month; placed off this mark here last August.
10 7th (10) (100/1 -2903%) Hedonista	100 100/1(-2903%)	(10) Hedonista 100/1, A dual AW scorer in 2023 and she resumed her progress after 8 months off when second of 7 at Ascot (16f, good) 30 days ago. Expected to be bang there nudged up 2 lb with tongue tie added. Low-mileage 4yo; went close at Ascot on seasonal debut; open to further progress.
6 8th (6) (100/1 -1718%) Crescent Lake	100 100/1(-1718%)	(6) Crescent Lake 100/1, Course winner who comes here on the back of a creditable third of 8 in handicap here (14f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Enters calculations. Latest effort took his Goodwood form figures to 113; likely player.
1 9th (1) (66/1 -371%) Fleurman	66 66/1(-371%)	(1) Fleurman 66/1, Yet to add to his two 2023 AW successes this term and tried blinkered when only fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 59 days ago. Back up in trip with work to do. Not in top form AW on AW this year; doesn't look poised to defy top weight.
8 10th (8) (100/1 -400%) Sir Chauvelin	100 100/1(-400%)	(8) Sir Chauvelin 100/1, Course winner. Not seen to best effect when ninth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 72 days ago. Possibilities off a 3 lb lower mark. Needs to prove he's still capable of being competitive at the age of 12.
11 11th (11) (80/1 -471%) Tradesman	80 80/1(-471%)	(11) Tradesman 80/1, Scored 4 times on the AW last year and has continued in good nick this time around, fifth in 14f Newmarket handicap 21 days ago. One to consider eased 1 lb. Productive on AW; form dipped at Newmarket on the return to turf.

16:30 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

CRESCENT LAKE posted another creditable effort in defeat when making the frame over 1m6f here. The return to two miles shouldn't hamper the seven-year-old's bid and compensation could await on this drop into class 3 company. The biggest threat may emerge from Hedonista, who returned with a close-up second at Ascot, while C&D winner Vino Victrix is also entitled to build on her reappearance having finished fourth over track and trip just over a fortnight ago.

Ed Walker's HEDONISTA is a young stayer on the up and fancied to build on her encouraging Ascot second and go one better here. In-form course scorer Crescent Lake appeals as the main danger, although a solid case can also be made for Tradesman, Tronador, Sir Chauvelin and Tenerife Sunshine in a competitive handicap.

With further progress a possibility, HEDONISTA gets the vote. Crescent Lake ties in with the selection on Ascot form.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 (7) (22/1 -83%) Ginnets Girl	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Ginnets Girl 22/1, Sixth of 8 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (20.4f, good, 15/2) on debut over fences 7 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles.

Significantly up in trip. Disappointing when joint-favourite on handicap debut at Bellewstown, steps up trip now.
4 2nd (4) (7/1 -17%) Donkey Years	7 7/1(-17%)	(4) Donkey Years 7/1, 13/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.2f, good) 23 days ago. Merits consideration. Has recovered form lately off his lower hurdles mark, not beaten far in third in 3m races.
3 3rd (3) (100/1 -300%) Everglow	100 100/1(-300%)	(3) Everglow 100/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (24.3f, heavy, 16/1) 176 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Noel Meade. Failed to make an impact in handicap chases, his new trainer sends him back over hurdles.
10 4th (10) (5/1 -67%) Dorans Law	5 5/1(-67%)	(10) Dorans Law 5/1, Promising type. Very good second of 11 in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, good to soft, 6/1) 19 days ago. Leading claims with further progress likely. Respectable handicap debut when staying on for second over a shorter trip at this venue.
1 5th (1) (16/5 +68%) Barry Lyndon	3.2 16/5(+68%)	(1) Barry Lyndon 16/5, Course winner. 20/1, creditable sixth of 14 in minor event hurdle at this course (19.3f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Up in trip. Others more persuasive. Ran well for a long way in a good conditions hurdle here at the festival; trip could suit.
5 6th (5) (5/1 +44%) Mister Beeton	5 5/1(+44%)	(5) Mister Beeton 5/1, 50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, not seen to best effect when ninth of 23 in handicap hurdle at this course (19.3f, good to soft) 39 days ago, left with lot to do. Back up in trip. Won this race last year. Won this event last season off a 6lb lower rating, each-way chance if finding form again.
6 7th (6) (8/1 -14%) Bella Bliss	8 8/1(-14%)	(6) Bella Bliss 8/1, Three wins from 13 runs last season. Good second of 5 in minor event chase (7/2) at Limerick (19.7f, good) 17 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Creditable second over a trip short of her best in a Limerick conditions chase on latest.
8 8th (8) (25/1 -25%) Meyo	25 25/1(-25%)	(8) Meyo 25/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Winner in hurdle at Listowel in September. Twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Naas (22.7f, heavy, 33/1) 105 days ago. Something to find on form. 3m winner on good ground at Listowel, found soft going unsuitable on her handicap debut.
13 \|PU\| (13) (16/1 -100%) Milanaway	16 16/1(-100%)	(13) Milanaway 16/1, 6/1, below form fourth of 16 in novice hurdle at Killarney (22.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Has been showing a fair standard of form in maiden hurdles, has never run on good ground.
14 \|PU\| (14) (25/1 +0%) Ounce Of Gold	25 25/1(+0%)	(14) Ounce Of Gold 25/1, 50/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at this course (23.9f, heavy) 180 days ago. Second to Mister Beeton in this race last year, pulled up in two subsequent starts.
2 \|PU\| (2) (33/1 -32%) Aldo The Apache	33 33/1(-32%)	(2) Aldo The Apache 33/1, Course winner. Seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20.2f, good to soft, 80/1) 27 days ago. Struggling in recent seasons, only mild encouragement from a mid-field run at Killarney.

16:40 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BELLA BLISS possibly made her bid for glory a fraction too soon when she was overhauled near the finish over an extended 2m3f at Limerick 17 days ago and, with this longer trip very much in her favour, the John McConnell-trained could be hard to reel in this time, especially with Alex Harvey's 7lb claim boosting her chance at the weights. Dorans Law is open to improvement now he tries a longer distance, while Donkey Years also rates a key player from a competitive mark in comparison to his chase rating.

DORANS LAW shaped encouragingly when second on his course handicap debut last month and there should be more to come now stepping up to around 3m so he gets the vote. Donkey Years has run with credit when reaching the frame twice this spring and is next on the list ahead of last year's winner Mister Beeton.

This is a new trip for BARRY LYNDON but it should suit and he has more potential for improvement than many of these rivals

16:52 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (5/4 +34%) Fever Dream	1.25 5/4(+34%)	(2) Fever Dream 5/4, Improved efforts over hurdles since handicapping, finishing second of 6 at Fakenham (2½m, good to soft) in a first-time tongue tie in March. Leading claims now stepping up to 3m back from a short break. 2nd of 6 at Fakenham (2m4f, good; 8-11, first tongue-tie) in March in his second handicap.
10 2nd (10) (16/1 +36%) Bolt Man	16 16/1(+36%)	(10) Bolt Man 16/1, Maiden who has offered little in 2 outings since returning from a 14-month absence. Has shown a glimmer of ability but not much in his two runs after a 425-day absence.
7 3rd (7) (100/1 -525%) Reagrove Lord	100 100/1(-525%)	(7) Reagrove Lord 100/1, Placed in points in Ireland. Reached the frame in his first 2 handicap hurdles but his 2 efforts at Hexham this spring have been disappointing. Bounce back needed. 0-4 in points and 0-7 under rules, with big backward steps in his last two handicaps.
6 4th (6) (100/1 -900%) Sputnik	100 100/1(-900%)	(6) Sputnik 100/1, Placed 5 times since his last win but ran poorly back from a break here (fences) last month. Can only watch after that. Ran creditably once in last four starts; return to good ground could be a notable positive.
1 5th (1) (80/1 -567%) Haveyougotmymoney	80 80/1(-567%)	(1) Haveyougotmymoney 80/1, Gained reward for several good efforts in defeat when landing Southwell handicap hurdle (3m) last autumn. Runner-up on next 2 starts but has lost his form since, pulling up on Hexham chase debut 19 days ago. Disappointing favourite in December and out of form when back for two races last month.
8 6th (8) (33/1 -843%) Dequall	33 33/1(-843%)	(8) Dequall 33/1, It's been a while since he last hit the target but he couldn't have gone much closer at Hexham (3m, good to soft) 19 days ago, edged out on the line. Can race lazily but he'll figure prominently if in the same form as last time. No win since March 2021 but mighty close at Hexham (2m7f, good) off career-low mark latest.
9 7th (9) (100/1 -300%) Mrindependant	100 100/1(-300%)	(9) Mrindependant 100/1, Little sign of ability. After nearly a year off, failed to beat a rival in two runs last October when last seen.
11 8th (11) (100/1 -300%) Midnight Alnwicky	100 100/1(-300%)	(11) Midnight Alnwicky 100/1, Seemed to show her first sign of a little ability when a remote sixth in a 2½m course maiden hurdle last month and low-grade handicaps provide her with a more realistic chance. Needs better on this handicap debut, with another step up in trip.
3 9th (3) (80/1 -1500%) Euchan Falls	80 80/1(-1500%)	(3) Euchan Falls 80/1, Winless since last spring but has reacted well to a visor when second in course hurdle/chase on last 2 outings. Each-way claims again. 2nd with visor enlisted on last two outings (hurdle/chase); stays 3m and firmly in the mix.
4 10th (4) (100/1 -1900%) Warriors Story	100 100/1(-1900%)	(4) Warriors Story 100/1, Hurdles winner who was third over fences at Hexham last month but pulled up back there 17 days later. Reverts to hurdles in a bid to bounce straight back to form. His creditable runs have become too occasional but penultimate start was one of them.
5 \|PU\| (5) (100/1 -525%) The Blame Game	100 100/1(-525%)	(5) The Blame Game 100/1, All 3 career victories gained at Sedgefield, the latest in February 2023. Pulled up both starts last season but merely passed beaten rivals when seventh of 16 over 21f at Kelso last month. Stays well and latest start was an upturn but he need to build substantially on that.

16:52 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

DEQUALL was denied by a short head at Hexham last month and he only has a 2lb higher rating to contend with. Stuart Coltherd's eight-year-old remains on a dangerous mark and can get his head back in front. The main threat might be Euchan Falls, who filled the runner-up berth over 2m4f here before another solid second over fences, also at this venue. Of the remainder, Fever Dream makes the most appeal.

FEVER DREAM rather stands out as an unexposed sort in this line-up and can come good now stepping up to 3m for the first time. Recent Hexham runner-up Dequall is second choice ahead of Euchan Falls.

Dequall and Euchan Falls had a major say in proceedings last time out but they look vulnerable against FEVER DREAM.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (5/2 -67%) King Of Conquest	2.5 5/2(-67%)	(3) King Of Conquest 5/2, Completed a 4-timer when landing a listed race at this course (9.9f) last May. Without a win since, but ran up to his best when second to a progressive type in the Aston Park Stakes at Newbury (12f) on his latest outing. Leading contender back at listed level. Pipped in Group 3 at Newbury (1m4f, good) on latest, form which gives him a big chance.
1 2nd (1) (4/1 -129%) Aimeric	4 4/1(-129%)	(1) Aimeric 4/1, Bookended last season with a pair of handicap victories and, after 8 months off, proved better than ever when scoring with a bit in hand at Lingfield (11.6f) in May. Could still have more to offer this year, so he's one to note as he goes up in grade. Progressive handicapper who should remain competitive despite this rise in class.
4 3rd (4) (15/2 +25%) Passion And Glory	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(4) Passion And Glory 15/2, Won a listed race in Bahrain in a light 2023 campaign, but not in the same form in the Middle East early this year. Back in Britain, had the run of race when third of 6 in listed race at this course (9.9f) 16 days ago, so will need to find more as he goes back up in trip. Front-running 3rd in Listed race here (1m2f) on return to Britain needs building on.
2 4th (2) (7/2 +0%) Deauville Legend	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(2) Deauville Legend 7/2, Most progressive at 3 yrs, winning twice at Group level before excellent fourth in the Melbourne Cup. However, wasn't able to match that form last year and fared no better in first-time blinkers in the Ormonde at Chester on his return. Not written off back down in grade, though. The pick on 2022 form but he's not fared so well in his only four races since.
5 5th (5) (100/1 -203%) Three Priests	100 100/1(-203%)	(5) Three Priests 100/1, Fairly useful filly who soon left behind a lesser effort when fourth in listed race at Pontefract (12f) when last seen 11 months ago. Remains lightly raced for her age, but has something to find as she makes her reappearance. Best form when Listed 4th last June on latest outing but she needs major improvement.

17:05 Goodwood Listed (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

King Of Conquest sets the standard after being denied by the smallest of margins in the Aston Park at Newbury, and he is a course winner so has to be respected. However, AIMERIC is taken to improve past him. Roger Varian's five-year-old has risen up the handicap ranks and took a class 2 event in smooth style at Lingfield, which puts him on a rating of 108. The son of Frankel can take another step forward and complete the hat-trick. Deauville Legend will find this easier than his fourth in the Ormonde Stakes and rounds out the shortlist.

KING OF CONQUEST produced his best effort of the season when runner-up in the Aston Park at Newbury 22 days ago, worn down only in the final strides, so he could be ready to return to winning ways back down in grade. Aimeric took another step forward on his return and is feared most in his hat-trick bid, ahead of Deauville Legend.

Aimeric is not passed over lightly but KING OF CONQUEST (nap) can make amends for his last-gasp defeat in a Newbury Group 3.

Inexpensively bought and respected with the stable having introduced some nice newcomers.
1 2nd (1) (12/1 -300%) Fillusin	12 12/1(-300%)	(1) Fillusin 12/1, 6/1, won 8-runner bumper at Tramore (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 9 days ago. Should go well again for top stable. Big enough ask to give weight to most of these but likely to improve and should go well.
5 3rd (5) (9/4 -20%) Aruntothequeen	2.25 9/4(-20%)	(5) Aruntothequeen 9/4, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 12 in bumper (18/1) at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 25 days ago. The one to beat. Should be well capable of winning in mares company on Tipperary showing; the one to beat.
3 4th (3) (10/3 +33%) Sansrisk	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(3) Sansrisk 10/3, Fair hurdler. 13/8 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner bumper at Downpatrick (17.7f, good) 30 days ago, always holding on. Respected. Consistent and can be relied on to run her race and that could put her right in the mix.
11 5th (11) (11/2 -10%) Penelope's Charm	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(11) Penelope's Charm 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 33/1, good 6 lengths third of 7 to Familiar Dreams in listed bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 71 days ago. Third in a Listed mares contest at Fairyhouse over Easter; contender here on that evidence.
10 6th (10) (200/1 -100%) Parga Diamond	200 200/1(-100%)	(10) Parga Diamond 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 22/1, eighth of 11 in bumper at Limerick (16.4f, soft) 10 days ago. Hood back on. Didn't run badly on her debut at Ballinrobe but well beaten at Limerick subsequently.
2 7th (2) (50/1 -213%) Pepperpots	50 50/1(-213%)	(2) Pepperpots 50/1, Twice-raced winner in bumpers. Won 11-runner bumper at Downpatrick (17.3f, good to soft, 100/1) 16 days ago. Hard to know how seriously to take her form and could find it very hard with her penalty.
4 8th (4) (80/1 -142%) Youre A Derry Girl	80 80/1(-142%)	(4) Youre A Derry Girl 80/1, One win from 3 runs last season. Sixth of 8 in bumper (15/2) at Listowel (20f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Has struggled with her winner's penalty since scoring in a Cork bumper in August.
6 9th (6) (22/1 -57%) Dolly's Call	22 22/1(-57%)	(6) Dolly's Call 22/1, Yeats mare. Dam, unraced, closely related to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 3¼m) Total Recall. The stable's runners always need checking out in the betting. Stoutly bred mare like to improve for this but worth a market check.
7 10th (7) (16/1 -146%) Florance	16 16/1(-146%)	(7) Florance 16/1, Remains a maiden after 7 bumper runs. Respectable fifth of 11 in bumper at Limerick (16.4f, soft, 11/4) 10 days ago. Hood back on. Disappointing at Limerick; Derek O'Connor booking is a positive but this looks tougher.
14 11th (14) (22/1 -10%) Turn Of Abbey	22 22/1(-10%)	(14) Turn Of Abbey 22/1, Soldier of Fortune mare. Half-sister to fairly useful 2m chase winner Issuing Authority, stays 2½m, and modest hurdler Grace Faraday. Some good winners in her pedigree and bred to stay; best watched but maybe worth watching.
15 12th (15) (100/1 -150%) Upper Church	100 100/1(-150%)	(15) Upper Church 100/1, Sageburg mare. Sister to fairly useful hurdler Marelly, stays 2½m. Dam, point winner, sister to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (stayed 25f) Soft Spoken Guy. Some good winners in her pedigree but best watched.
8 13th (8) (200/1 -100%) Into The Unknown	200 200/1(-100%)	(8) Into The Unknown 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, fifth of 6 in bumper at Clonmel (16.8f, heavy). Off 8 months. Soundly beaten in two bumpers last year and makes little appeal in this company.
16 14th (16) (150/1 -127%) Yeahgoonso Honey	150 150/1(-127%)	(16) Yeahgoonso Honey 150/1, Hillstar half-sister to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Herewegohoney and fairly useful hunter chaser Man of Steel. Pulled up in sole point. Best watched. Pulled up in a point at Stradbally Hall last month; makes little appeal in this company.
13 15th (13) (150/1 -355%) The Road Not Taken	150 150/1(-355%)	(13) The Road Not Taken 150/1, Mount Nelson mare. Dam (c104/h103) 17f-2½m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 3m), also 1½m winner who stayed 2m on Flat. Some middle distance speed in her pedigree; best watched on debut.

17:15 Punchestown NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FILLUSIN handed Hannah Smullen a day to remember with her first winner under Rules when they teamed up to score in a similar race at Tramore nine days ago and can follow up under a penalty here. Fellow previous winners Sansrisk and Pepperpots also command respect but Aruntothequeen showed ability when a close second at Tipperary last month and may emerge as a bigger threat to the selection, given that was a marked improvement from her debut run here last April.

ARUNTOTHEQUEEN produced a promising performance when runner-up at Tipperary last month and can make the most of the weight she receives from previous bumper winners Fillusin and Sansrisk.

the selection is ARUNTOTHEQUEEN(nap), who will be hard to beat if even reproducing her narrow defeat in a Tipperary winners contest

17:27 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 (9) (7/2 +56%) Watchoutitscookie	3.5 7/2(+56%)	(9) Watchoutitscookie 7/2, Second off 5 lb higher in a 25f Huntingdon handicap hurdle in February. Left the impression he should have finished closer (conceded first run) when third over fences here last month. Interesting. Third of eight over C&D on latest outing, confirming he has an each-way chance.
7 (7) (11/1 +31%) Bullion Boss	11 11/1(+31%)	(7) Bullion Boss 11/1, Won over 3m at Musselburgh in January 2021 but hasn't shown much in 3 outings since returning from a long absence this spring. Needs a first-time visor to make a difference. Two-year absence before his three runs this spring, in which he did not accomplish much.
4 1st (4) (16/1 -14%) Dalileo	16 16/1(-14%)	(4) Dalileo 16/1, Has a 1-32 record but the win did come here. Below-form fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (25f, good to soft) when last seen in November. 20-1 when pulled up in this last year after a layoff; same scenario suggests itself today.
10 2nd (10) (18/1 -13%) Joanna I'm Fine	18 18/1(-13%)	(10) Joanna I'm Fine 18/1, Did manage a win at Ayr in February 2023 but has found it tough since, finishing well held back from a break here last month. Five months off before latest outing and now moves back up in trip; not totally dismissed.
3 3rd (3) (80/1 -789%) Pammi	80 80/1(-789%)	(3) Pammi 80/1, Six-time C&D winner. Might have needed her first outing in 6 months when sixth of 10 over 2½m here 25 days ago. Enters calculations. Seven Perth wins, the latest last September off 4lb higher than today.
5 4th (5) (100/1 -2122%) River Ayr	100 100/1(-2122%)	(5) River Ayr 100/1, 10/3, good fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (2½m, good to soft) 25 days ago. Likely to be competitive again. Latest start (second crack at 2m4f) suggested he may be of interest over this longer trip.
8 5th (8) (66/1 -725%) Methusalar	66 66/1(-725%)	(8) Methusalar 66/1, Winner at Bangor for Alan King back in 2022 but struggled for present connections over both sets of obstacles in recent months. Mark continues to fall but has too much to prove. Well down weights; favourite at Cartmel (2m1f) 11 days ago but nevertheless beaten 15l.
6 \|F\| (6) (7/2 +46%) Maura Jeanne	3.5 7/2(+46%)	(6) Maura Jeanne 7/2, Remains a maiden after 17 runs but was a creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at this course (26.5f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Two 3rds and two 4th among her handicap hurdles, including over 3m2f here on latest.
2 \|F\| (2) (9/2 -80%) Paddy Elvis	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(2) Paddy Elvis 9/2, Placed for the second time in handicaps when second of 7 at Downpatrick 16 days ago. Major player for yard whose British runners are always respected. Placed over about 2m6f at Down Royal in April and Downpatrick on latest outing.
1 \|U\| (1) (15/2 -36%) Diamond State	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(1) Diamond State 15/2, Fair winning hurdler at best who scored over fences in 2022/23. Took a step back in the right direction from his falling mark when third of 15 over 2½m here last month. Contender if able to build on that. 3rd of 15 here (2m4f) on latest outing was easily his most positive display for a while.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

17:27 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Diamond State had River Ayr just behind when third over 2m4f here and he was kindly dropped 2lb for that effort, but he will need to prove he is effective over this distance. With that in mind, he can be taken on with MAURA JEANNE. The seven-year-old mare hit the line well to finish fourth over an extended 3m2f here and she can capitalise on the drop in grade off a 2lb lower mark. Watchoutitscookie can pick up any pieces.

Nigel Hawke's WATCHOUTITSCOOKIE shaped quite well over fences here last month and might prove the answer to this finale. Stuart Crawford's Paddy Elvis may provide the chief threat ahead of recent course third Diamond State.

This race is packed with each-way claims but the top two options may be Diamond State and RIVER AYR, both stepping up in trip.

17:40 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (9/2 -50%) Haymaker	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(4) Haymaker 9/2, Found plenty for pressure to get up late in the day when landing an 8-runner handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Not handicapped out of things from 3 lb higher mark, though could do with brushing up his starts. Up 3lb for last month's Nottingham win but still well treated on 2023 best; first run here.
6 2nd (6) (5/1 +0%) Eminency	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Eminency 5/1, Progressive without winning last season for Clive Cox and shaped encouragingly on his second start for this yard when sixth of 13 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Well treated on the pick of last year's form and he's not ruled out. Strong form for C Cox last year; promising run at Epsom last week; big run on the cards.
7 3rd (7) (16/1 -14%) Mister Bluebird	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Mister Bluebird 16/1, Started off 2023 in good form, winning at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in June on his third start of the campaign. Adequate return over 5f at Ascot last month but finished down the field in a big-field handicap there last time and others are preferred. Won the 7f handicap on this card last year off 5lb higher mark; patchy record since.
5 4th (5) (33/1 -83%) Danger Alert	33 33/1(-83%)	(5) Danger Alert 33/1, Fairly useful sort won 3 times for George Boughey in the first half of last season. Winless from 4 starts in Bahrain over the winter, albeit first home in his grop when fourth in 10-runner Sakhir handicap on most recent outing. Below last winning mark but others preferred back on home soil. Struggled in Bahrain this winter; handicapper relenting; can fluff the start; others safer.
1 5th (1) (80/1 -1678%) Rhythm N Hooves	80 80/1(-1678%)	(1) Rhythm N Hooves 80/1, Won at Royal Ascot last season and in first-time blinkers, capitalised on easing mark to win for the first time at this trip in a 9-runner event at Doncaster (good) last week. Player. Royal Ascot win in 2023; first success since at Doncaster 9 days ago; up 4lb but respected.
3 6th (3) (6/1 -20%) Ingra Tor	6 6/1(-20%)	(3) Ingra Tor 6/1, Didn't stand much racing last year but wasn't disgraced on his return from another 8-month break when fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 6/1) 42 days ago. Not discounted with that now under his belt. Not seen much action since his 3yo season but he retains ability; each-way claims.
8 7th (8) (80/1 -471%) Temple Bruer	80 80/1(-471%)	(8) Temple Bruer 80/1, Capitalised on a tumbling mark at Chelmsford (6f) last month but completely blew the start at Ascot 10 days later. Cheekpieces go on back and he remains feasibly handicapped if able to get away on terms this time. 6f AW win last month; blew the start at Ascot latest; others stronger this time.
2 8th (2) (100/1 -3233%) Change Sings	100 100/1(-3233%)	(2) Change Sings 100/1, Most progressive sprinter, scoring at Newmarket last month before following in very game fashion at Kempton (6f) 11 days ago to make it 4 wins from last 6 starts. Boasts the pedigree and physique to go on improving, so makes plenty of appeal. 5-8 in handicaps and looks to be improving with each start; should have more to offer.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

17:40 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking Change Sings returns to turf after scoring by a neck at Kempton, but this requires more off a 4lb higher rating. With that in mind, a chance can be taken on EMINENCY. The son of Havana Grey was far from disgraced when sixth in a class 2 event at Epsom and the handicapper has given him a chance by dropping him 2lb. With Rossa Ryan taking over the reins, he looks the one to be on, while Rhythm N Hooves can fight it out for the minor honours.

CHANGE SINGS is a highly progressive sprinter and appeals as likely to continue his rich vein of form from a 4 lb higher mark. Last season's Royal Ascot scorer Rhythm N Hooves returned to form at Doncaster last week and has to be respected again, with Haymaker completing the shortlist in a competitive contest.

Change Sings is a strong contender but EMINENCY caught the eye at Epsom last week and he could be primed to strike.

Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
