Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (13/2 -95%) Siegen	6.5 13/2(-95%)	(10) Siegen 13/2, Twice-raced maiden. 7/1, good fourth of 10 in minor event at Goodwood (6f, good) 21 days ago. In the mix. Has shown ability in both runs, latest at Goodwood; major contender on form.
8 2nd (8) (7/4 +30%) Rajeteriat	1.75 7/4(+30%)	(8) Rajeteriat 7/4, Twice-raced maiden, still green when good third of 8 in minor event at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 9/2) 31 days ago. Holds very strong form claims. Hung left but kept on for third at Beverley last time; leading player on form.
9 3rd (9) (8/1 -7%) Redorange	8 8/1(-7%)	(9) Redorange 8/1, Fifth of 8 in minor event at Bath (5f, good, 14/1) on his debut 21 days ago. Open to improvement. Eventually ran out of steam at Bath having helped to force the pace.
5 4th (5) (100/1 -1150%) Hucklesbrook	100 100/1(-1150%)	(5) Hucklesbrook 100/1, Eighth of 10 in minor event at Goodwood (6f, good, 25/1) on debut 21 days ago. Needs to build on it. Shaped better than the bare result at Goodwood; should take a step forward.
1 5th (1) (33/1 -371%) Art Market	33 33/1(-371%)	(1) Art Market 33/1, Ninth of 12 in maiden (17/2) at Nottingham (5f, good) on debut 12 days ago. More is needed. Always behind at Nottingham but may do better with the outing under his belt.
3 6th (3) (50/1 -52%) Candy	50 50/1(-52%)	(3) Candy 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 11 in maiden (40/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago. Needs improvement and looks a nursery prospect.
7 7th (7) (100/1 -203%) Rage Of Thunder	100 100/1(-203%)	(7) Rage Of Thunder 100/1, Foaled May 13. £10,000 2-y-o, Inns of Court colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Aussie Stormer and 1m winner Galileo Boy. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner. Market can guide. £10,000 breeze-up 2yo; by Inns Of Court out of a 2yo winner; market helpful.
4 8th (4) (200/1 -400%) Chasing Gold	200 200/1(-400%)	(4) Chasing Gold 200/1, 33/1, last of 10 in minor event at Ascot (5f, good to firm) on debut 34 days ago. Finished last of ten at Ascot for an inauspicious debut.
2 9th (2) (80/1 -1043%) Backspin	80 80/1(-1043%)	(2) Backspin 80/1, Foaled March 2. €45,000 foal, £100,000 yearling, Hello Youmzain gelding.

Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 5.4f Maljaa and useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Ventura Mist. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Interesting.

13:30 Sandown Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

In a race full of unknown quantities, it could pay to side with the twice-raced RAJETERIAT. The form of his recent third over 5f at Beverley is working out well and the son of Mehmas can open his account here. Art Market is surely capable of better than he showed on his debut and a big step forward from William Haggas' charge should not be ruled out. Backspin and Siegen also enter calculations in what should be an informative contest.

The betting should reveal plenty here but RAJETERIAT possesses the best form on offer and still looked green when third at Beverley last time so gets the vote. Tom Ward's Mohaather filly Skellig Isle is bred to be above-average so could emerge as the main danger ahead of Siegen, Hucklesbrook and Backspin.

Rajeteriat spoiled his finishing effort by hanging last time. SIEGEN is preferred, ahead of Hucklesbrook.

13:40 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (5/2 +58%) Outrun The Storm	2.5 5/2(+58%)	(8) Outrun The Storm 5/2, Not at his best towards the end of last season, but proved determined back from 6 months off when landing a Newcastle handicap (7.1f) in April. Far from disgraced either outing since and danger to all if getting his own way in front from plum draw. Unable to dominate when a solid Newmarket fifth latest; player from the inside stall.
4 2nd (4) (9/2 -29%) On A Session	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(4) On A Session 9/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good, 6/1) 13 days ago, likely to have been better served by a stronger gallop. Handicapper is steadily easing his grip and not discounted despite a wide draw. Solid fifth at Musselburgh 13 days ago; not ruled out from easing mark despite high draw.
1 3rd (1) (10/3 -203%) Red Mirage	3.333333 10/3(-203%)	(1) Red Mirage 10/3, Course winner who enhanced his good record fresh (also had wind op) when successful at Catterick (7f, soft) in April. Hasn't quite scaled same heights in 2 starts since but Patrick Mullins a very eye-catching booking and he's considered from handy draw. Won at Catterick but below par both runs since; no surprise to see him bounce back here.
6 4th (6) (11/2 +27%) Spioradalta	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(6) Spioradalta 11/2, Well suited by the strong gallop and justified good support when successful over 7.6f here last summer. Shaped well on 2 of first 3 starts this campaign and any easing of the ground will play firmly to his strengths with cheekpieces refitted. Course winner but only Nottingham fifth latest; sort to bounce back with cheekpieces on.
2 5th (2) (20/1 -25%) Maxi Boy	20 20/1(-25%)	(2) Maxi Boy 20/1, Winless since debut success for Michael Bell back in 2019 and largely disappointed for that yard last season. Needs to hit the ground running back from 8 months off/starting out for new stable. Ended 2023 out of sorts for Michael Bell; needs yard switch to spark a resurgence.
9 6th (9) (28/1 -100%) El Hibri	28 28/1(-100%)	(9) El Hibri 28/1, Tasted success 3 times on AW this year, the latest at Chelmsford (6f) in May. Run best excused when last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good, 10/1) 13 days ago, short of room soon after start, but draw could have been much kinder here. Suffered poor run when last at Lingfield 13 days ago; sort to bounce back but drawn wide.
10 7th (10) (20/1 +20%) King Of The Dance	20 20/1(+20%)	(10) King Of The Dance 20/1, 1m winner on all-weather for Eve Johnson Houghton last summer but yet to match that level in trio of starts for present yard, below form sixth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at Salisbury (7f, heavy) 40 days ago. Others preferred. Yet to hit top form for his current yard, sixth at Salisbury 40 days ago; more required.
5 8th (5) (12/1 -20%) Soar Above	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) Soar Above 12/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Kempton (7f) 23 days ago. Refitting of cheekpieces may help back on turf and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour from a handy draw in stall 2. Winless since the spring of 2022; cheekpieces are refitted with plenty to find.

13:40 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

RED MIRAGE has failed to fire on his two starts since winning over 7f at Catterick in April, but the booking of Patrick Mullins catches the eye and he can be given another chance in a race of this nature. Outrun The Storm is another with strong form claims, while On A Session edges out Spioradalta and Maxi Boy to be best of the rest.

Having enhanced his excellent record when fresh at Catterick in April, RED MIRAGE hasn't quite scaled the same heights in 2 subsequent outings but he remains on a workable mark on the pick of his form and with Patrick Mullins a very eye-catching booking, he looks a big player from a handy draw. Outrun The Storm, Spioradalta in refitted cheekpieces and On A Session head up the dangers.

Richard Fahey's in-form front-runner OUTRUN THE STORM is taken to resume winning ways from his ideal draw. Red Mirage is next best.

13:50 York Handicap (Class 4) 7f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
15 1st (15) (22/1 +12%) Tolstoy	22 22/1(+12%)	(15) Tolstoy 22/1, Unreliable individual. 22/1, bit below form tenth of 21 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 20 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Shapes as though worth a go at 7f, at least. Not straightforward and often blows the start; inexperienced apprentice on board.
10 2nd (10) (5/1 +0%) Feel The Need	5 5/1(+0%)	(10) Feel The Need 5/1, Had been shaping up well for in-form yard and put it together to win 18-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 12/1) 20 days ago, driven out. Wasn't the best away on that occasion and hasn't always looked straightforward but he's of interest on that display. Surged to the front and scored decisively over C&D last month; still well treated up 4lb.
14 3rd (14) (50/1 -100%) Yaaser	50 50/1(-100%)	(14) Yaaser 50/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good, 28/1) 13 days ago, having hopeless task from position. That effort easy to excuse but he needs to step up plenty. Contender on last summer's best but yet to get going in 2024.
8 4th (8) (11/1 -69%) Justcallmepete	11 11/1(-69%)	(8) Justcallmepete 11/1, Lower in the weights on turf and much better than the result when eleventh of 16 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to soft) 56 days ago, finishing with running left having been short of room. Now looks very interesting back over 7f. 0-11 on turf as opposed to 6-22 on AW; handicapped accordingly though and should go well.
9 5th (9) (6/1 +25%) Hectic	6 6/1(+25%)	(9) Hectic 6/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022, which was gained on debut. Best effort when third of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 8/1) 13 days ago, though he did very much have the run of the race. Enters calculations. Winless since debut but knocking at the door and rider's 5lb claim a bonus here; respected.
2 6th (2) (28/1 -40%) Intervention	28 28/1(-40%)	(2) Intervention 28/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 50/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Hood back on and this is a weaker handicap than that race but feeling is that he's better on the AW than turf. Drops in class today and this year's AW best brings him right into the reckoning.
6 7th (6) (12/1 -85%) Cori Glory	12 12/1(-85%)	(6) Cori Glory 12/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who was better than ever when winning 6-runner handicap (6/1) at Catterick (7f, soft) 22 days ago. Up 6 lb in a deeper race but limit may not have been reached. Easy win in a small-field fillies' handicap last month (7f, soft); further progress needed.
4 8th (4) (20/1 -82%) The Turpinator	20 20/1(-82%)	(4) The Turpinator 20/1, Landed a few bets for latest win at Newcastle in December. Sound-enough efforts after on the AW, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f). Off 131 days and has nothing in hand of current mark back on turf. Has run well over C&D and in good order on AW over the winter; returns from 131 days off.
7 9th (7) (6/1 +25%) Gincident	6 6/1(+25%)	(7) Gincident 6/1, Down in the weights and stuck to his task when 2½ lengths second of 20 to Riot in handicap at this C&D (good, 33/1) 28 days ago, barely adequate test. Not taken lightly from the same mark in the hope they go hard at the head of affairs. Chased home Riot at the Dante meeting but a 6lb weights turnaround may be insufficient.
3 10th (3) (15/2 -7%) Riot	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(3) Riot 15/2, Big-field C&D winner last month and excellent 3 lengths fourth of 18 to Feel The Need in handicap (13/2) at this C&D (good) 20 days ago. Can give another good account. A win and a good 4th in big-field C&D handicaps the last twice; should be involved again.
12 11th (12) (13/2 +46%) The Cookstown Cafu	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(12) The Cookstown Cafu 13/2, Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Doncaster (8f, good) 14 days ago. Blinkers on first time and should be at full fitness down. Dangerous to rule out given his current mark. Lurks on a dangerous mark; blinkers given a go and he's one to take seriously.
5 12th (5) (33/1 -106%) Capital Guarantee	33 33/1(-106%)	(5) Capital Guarantee 33/1, Brushed aside when last of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. That was his return from 6 months off and he should last longer this time. Won his first three starts for David O'Meara but his form has levelled off since.
16 13th (16) (25/1 -79%) Snash	25 25/1(-79%)	(16) Snash 25/1, Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Haydock (6f, firm) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and return to 7f in his favour. On a good mark and tries a new combination of accessories; has the ability to feature.
1 14th (1) (18/1 -64%) Gunlock	18 18/1(-64%)	(1) Gunlock 18/1, Improved on belated debut form when winning at Newcastle with a bit to spare in April. Could mange only fourth of 6 in novice event at Wetherby (7f, soft, 13/8) 47 days ago and opening mark calls for more. 1m AW winner in April; not quite so good switched to turf latest; handicap debut.
13 15th (13) (40/1 -100%) Bicep	40 40/1(-100%)	(13) Bicep 40/1, Good return to action when finding only one too good at Southwell in March. Isn't easy to predict though and was twelfth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 59 days ago. Others more persuasive back on turf. Second off this mark in March (6f, AW); flopped next time but capable of bouncing back.
11 16th (11) (20/1 -82%) Judgment Call	20 20/1(-82%)	(11) Judgment Call 20/1, Successful twice in handicap company last season and excellent return to action when second of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good, 33/1) 13 days ago. Had the run of race on that occasion and dominating this field not as easy. Good return to action at Musselburgh 13 days ago but tough task trying to dictate here.

13:50 York Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

In what looks a wide-open affair, HECTIC can get his supporters off to a flyer. He was last seen finishing third in a warm handicap over 7f at Doncaster earlier this month and, off an unchanged mark, another bold bid from this habitual prominent racer is expected. Cori Glory scored comfortably on her reappearance over 7f at Catterick last month and she can emerge as the main danger upped 6lb. Yaaser and Riot are a couple of others who merit respect.

The really interesting one here is JUSTCALLMEPETE, who lurks on a very dangerous turf mark and got no luck at Newbury last time. The return to 7f will suit so he's awarded the vote in favour of Riot, Gincident and Feel The Need.

Feel The Need and RIOT both won big-field C&D handicaps here last month and the latter can come out on top this time.

14:05 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
13 (13) (33/1 +0%) Buraback	33 33/1(+0%)	(13) Buraback 33/1, 4 wins from 12 runs this year. Fifth of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Haydock (5f, good) 8 days ago, first home in group. Four wins since March but the handicapper has caught up judged on last two runs.
16 (16) (40/1 +0%) Secret Handsheikh	40 40/1(+0%)	(16) Secret Handsheikh 40/1, Arrives below par, fifth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft, 9/2) 17 days ago. Blinkers back on with more required. Engaged 4.55 Nottingham Thursday. Not found his best form this season, including a lacklustre run at Nottingham yesterday.
8 1st (8) (5/1 +9%) Jenever	5 5/1(+9%)	(8) Jenever 5/1, 28/1, creditable fifth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. That was a fine return to turf and he could better his 2023 exploits when winning 4 times. Series of solid efforts in 2024; this stiff 5f should suit him well; each-way claims again.
7 2nd (7) (13/2 -44%) Brave Nation	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(7) Brave Nation 13/2, 9/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Well handicapped but doesn't do things straightforwardly (comes from off the pace) and will probably need a race that really goes his way to cash in. Two good 5f runs this year, latterly in a Class 3; strong pace would suit; each-way shout.
5 3rd (5) (4/1 +33%) Lil Guff	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) Lil Guff 4/1, Last of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Yet to fully fire this season but now 6 lb below mark she won this off last year. Interesting under Murphy (touched off under him here in August). Won this race last year off 6lb higher; probably in better form than her figures suggest.
4 4th (4) (25/1 -79%) Moulin Booj	25 25/1(-79%)	(4) Moulin Booj 25/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. 9/2, last of 8 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good) 44 days ago, too free. Hood back on. Has work to do. Progressing until flopping at Ascot last month; returning to fast ground will help.
10 5th (10) (14/1 -27%) Maharajas Express	14 14/1(-27%)	(10) Maharajas Express 14/1, Latest win at Bath in April. Seventh of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Chepstow (5.1f, good) 14 days ago. He's done well for this yard in a lower grade; not at his best the last twice.
15 6th (15) (28/1 +15%) Phoenix Star	28 28/1(+15%)	(15) Phoenix Star 28/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in March. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good, 10/1) 12 days ago. Not the force of old. Comes here in good form but this is a higher level than he's used to.
9 7th (9) (100/1 -2122%) Fantasy Master	100 100/1(-2122%)	(9) Fantasy Master 100/1, 7/2, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 9 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. He's handicapped to win and his turn looks close. On a good mark and ran well at Nottingham last week (6f); others preferred at today's test.
14 8th (14) (100/1 -150%) Concierge	100 100/1(-150%)	(14) Concierge 100/1, 33/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, heavy) 31 days ago. Visor back on. Others more persuasive. Won twice at a lower level last summer; well beaten on his return; up against it once more.
2 9th (2) (40/1 -60%) Dubai Station	40 40/1(-60%)	(2) Dubai Station 40/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 25 days ago. First two runs back with R Cowell were promising; last time less so; still on fair mark.
3 10th (3) (66/1 -560%) Hierarchy	66 66/1(-560%)	(3) Hierarchy 66/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 11/2) 16 days ago. Tricky sort (usually starts slowly). On a good mark but below par last time; can't afford to blow the start dropped back to 5f.
11 11th (11) (50/1 -400%) Bang On The Bell	50 50/1(-400%)	(11) Bang On The Bell 50/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. 13/2, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Flourished on AW this winter; not so good off lower turf mark this spring.
6 12th (6) (50/1 -317%) Atalanta's Boy	50 50/1(-317%)	(6) Atalanta's Boy 50/1, Untrustworthy individual. Seven wins from 26 Flat runs (5 at Goodwood, latest from mark of 93). Off 21 months/first run since leaving Martin Smith when fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 100/1) 16 days ago, shaping encouragingly. Down another 2 lb and wouldn't dismiss from stall 1. Ran well on his stable debut/return from 626 days off last month; can blow the start.
12 13th (12) (100/1 -400%) Mary Of Modena	100 100/1(-400%)	(12) Mary Of Modena 100/1, 16/1, good second of 6 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to soft) on return 46 days ago. This is tougher. Good run at Windsor on her return but she's 2lb higher in a better race today.
1 14th (1) (100/1 -1718%) Acklam Express	100 100/1(-1718%)	(1) Acklam Express 100/1, Unreliable type. Twenty five runs since last win in 2020. 11/2, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) on return 21 days ago. 2022 King's Stand third is now on a career-low mark. Has been smart; down in weights and recent return not devoid of promise; should go well.

14:05 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

MARY OF MODENA teed herself up for a tilt at this when finishing an excellent second over 5f at Windsor on her reappearance in April and, nudged up 2lb, she gets the vote to go one place better. Recent Doncaster runner-up Brave Nation was doing his best work in the closing stages on that occasion and he should be running on when others have cried enough, while Acklam Express' mark continues to fall and he commands respect too.

FANTASY MASTER shaped well at Nottingham last week, faring best of those to race prominently, and is handicapped to win, so he could be the answer from stall 2. Good cases can be made for many others in a hot race though, chief among them last year's winner Lil Guff, Jenever, and the classy pair Atalanta's Boy and Acklam Express, who are potentially thrown-in.

Acklam Express is greatly respected but JENEVER has been threatening better and this stiff 5f should be ideal for him.

14:15 Chester Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (11/2 +31%) Old Chums	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(5) Old Chums 11/2, Progressive in handicaps on AW, winning twice and ran well having set a strong gallop when third over C&D in May. Raced closer to the pace than ideal when eleventh of 19 in handicap (12/1) at York (7f, good) 20 days ago but draw in 11 not ideal here. Close third over C&D on his penultimate run and he looks interesting back in trip.
8 2nd (8) (28/1 -75%) Infinity Blue	28 28/1(-75%)	(8) Infinity Blue 28/1, First run since leaving Andrew Balding/off 7 months when seventh of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Newcastle (6f) 33 days ago, racing off the pace and never involved. This should reveal more but another with a less-than-ideal draw to work from. Had wind op. Well held on stable debut at Newcastle and has tough draw back at this track; had wind op.
6 3rd (6) (16/1 -167%) Onigiri	16 16/1(-167%)	(6) Onigiri 16/1, Struggled to make an impact at Meydan earlier this year but better effort returned to these shores when good third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 17 days ago. Each-way claims again here from 1 lb lower mark. Good third at Lingfield last time and has claims if she can back that up.
3 4th (3) (12/1 -20%) Call Glory	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Call Glory 12/1, Dual winner as a juvenile who ran best race since the turn of the year when fifth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, firm, 20/1) 27 days ago. Has edged down 1 lb below last winning mark if he can build on that now. Both wins have come at 5f and he's faded in both runs this season; others preferred.
1 5th (1) (350/1 -2817%) Biographer	350 350/1(-2817%)	(1) Biographer 350/1, Winner at Lingfield in January. Changed hands for 17,000 gns/gelded, not matched that level in pair of turf handicaps in recent weeks but visor worn for earlier success back on here and he's not one to write off. Still unexposed on turf and visor now returns but he needs a major revival.
9 6th (9) (400/1 -2757%) Master Franca	400 400/1(-2757%)	(9) Master Franca 400/1, Ran out a winner at 40/1 at Lingfield (7f) back in the autumn but not yet built on a creditable reappearance run at Wolverhampton in March in pair of starts on AW/turf so blinkers need to have a positive effect. Widest draw to overcome. Well held in last two runs and needs new headgear to make a difference back at this trip.
10 7th (10) (250/1 -5456%) Macanudo	250 250/1(-5456%)	(10) Macanudo 250/1, Successful on final start for Olly Murphy at Chelmsford (5f) in February. Mixed bag in handful of starts for new stable have followed, fifth of 6 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to soft, 11/2) 18 days ago. Still, better showing not ruled out from plum draw. Needs to step up but this is a drop back in grade and he's well handicapped on best form.
12 8th (12) (350/1 -3400%) Last Applause	350 350/1(-3400%)	(12) Last Applause 350/1, Catterick 7f novice winner in October who has stepped forward with each outing this term, good second behind a subsequent winner in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. 1 lb lower now but a return to 7f may suit ideally. Catterick winner who was respectable second over C&D (good to soft) last time; in the mix.
2 9th (2) (400/1 -5614%) Angel's Call	400 400/1(-5614%)	(2) Angel's Call 400/1, Took his form up a notch when opening his account at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in April and ran to a similar level despite getting warm beforehand when fifth of 12 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good) 35 days ago, soon off the bridle before finishing well. Well drawn and he remains lightly raced. Fair fifth of 12 on handicap/turf debut at Ascot and has claims if he can build on that.
4 10th (4) (28/1 -522%) Quiet Resolve	28 28/1(-522%)	(4) Quiet Resolve 28/1, Continued theme of race-by-race progress when opening his account in a Newcastle maiden (7f) in February. Not disgraced in pair of starts on turf since, eighth of 19 in handicap at York (7f, good, 11/2) 20 days ago. Respected returned to sprinting with cheekpieces enlisted. Never involved at York last time and not sure this drop back to 6f will suit; headgear on.
11 11th (11) (250/1 -1150%) Judge Frank	250 250/1(-1150%)	(11) Judge Frank 250/1, Fair form when second in Newbury novice (6.5f) on debut last summer but well below that level all 4 starts subsequently for Heather Main. Joined new yard for 11,000 gns in March and the betting may prove useful on handicap debut. Handicap newcomer but he's been regressive so far and has plenty to prove for new yard.
7 12th (7) (200/1 -3233%) Cool Run	200 200/1(-3233%)	(7) Cool Run 200/1, Fair maiden for Ed Bethell who shaped as if better for the run following 6 months off/wind op when fifth of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 18/1) 42 days ago and better showing expected returned to 6f with Franny Norton booked. Has claims on best 2yo form but she made a low-key start for new yard last month.

14:15 Chester Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ANGEL'S CALL was far from disgraced when filling fifth place in a competitive event at Ascot on his handicap debut last month, and that form gives him a big chance here off a 1lb lower mark. Onigiri showed more on her return to the UK at Lingfield last time and should not be underestimated, while Macanudo and Cool Run also merit places on the shortlist.

QUIET RESOLVE didn't quite meet up to expectations at York on his latest outing 3 weeks ago but he remains sufficiently lightly raced to think he could yet do better and, returned to sprinting/equipped with first-time cheekpieces, he earns the vote to make full use of his handy draw and come out on top. Macanudo and Onigiri are others to consider, whilst Old Chums, despite a wide draw, would be a danger to all if getting loose on the front end.

It might be worth siding with MACANUDO, who takes a big drop back in grade and is well handicapped if he can rediscover his spark.

14:25 York Seller (Class 3) 6f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (9/1 +0%) Clay Shoveler	9 9/1(+0%)	(4) Clay Shoveler 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/5 and hooded for 1st time, seventh of 8 in seller at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Hard to warm to on the back of that display. Windsor second in April gives him claims; beaten fav in a seller on Sunday; now tackles 6f.
7 1st (7) (14/1 +0%) Inconspicuous	14 14/1(+0%)	(7) Inconspicuous 14/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1, fourth of 10 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good) on debut 25 days ago, nearest finish. May well do better with that run under his belt. Stayed on late when 4th at Redcar last month; open to improvement but it is needed.
10 2nd (10) (9/2 -35%) Isla Bella	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(10) Isla Bella 9/2, Twice-raced winner. 10/3 and tongue strap on for 1st time, won 8-runner maiden at Brighton (6f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Strong claims. Strong at the finish in a 6f maiden at Brighton last month; big player despite the penalty.
8 3rd (8) (6/1 +33%) Mrbluesky	6 6/1(+33%)	(8) Mrbluesky 6/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in maiden (7/2) at Redcar (5f, soft) on debut 18 days ago, never nearer. Extra furlong here will help but he needs to take a significant step forward. Put in some good late work on his 5f debut last month; should be capable of much better.
9 4th (9) (12/1 -71%) Rex Carver	12 12/1(-71%)	(9) Rex Carver 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. 4/1, last of 4 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Needs to get back on track but his debut effort was fairly encouraging and he's by no means written off. Promising debut at Redcar but flopped on soft ground latest; still has time to do better.
12 5th (12) (80/1 -300%) Elementary Charge	80 80/1(-300%)	(12) Elementary Charge 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in maiden at Carlisle (5f, good to soft, 18/1) 15 days ago. Others preferred. Hasn't landed a blow in two 5f maidens but has some ability and 6f should suit better.
14 6th (14) (100/1 -525%) Owt For Nowt	100 100/1(-525%)	(14) Owt For Nowt 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in maiden (66/1) at Beverley (5f, good) 39 days ago. One of 3 representing the Ollie Pears yard and Inconspicuous could be the pick of them. Unfancied and modest form in two 5f runs this spring; improvement needed for a 6th furlong.
15 7th (15) (80/1 -100%) Wondrous Ways	80 80/1(-100%)	(15) Wondrous Ways 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good, 40/1) 25 days ago. Readily passed over. Neither maiden run this spring indicates she's a likely winner; yard run three.
6 8th (6) (50/1 -1150%) I Love Dad	50 50/1(-1150%)	(6) I Love Dad 50/1, Once-raced maiden. 12/1, third of 8 in seller at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) on debut 5 days ago. Shouldn't be far away if able to build on that. Promising 3rd in a 5f seller on Sunday's debut; should be capable of better.
5 9th (5) (66/1 -100%) Cugini	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Cugini 66/1, Foaled March 1. £12,000 yearling, Land Force gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful winner up to 9.5f Mellow Yellow out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) Yellow Rosebud. Entitled to come on for the run. £12,000 yearling; dam an unraced sister to two winners; likely best watched on debut.
3 10th (3) (28/1 -133%) Bungle Reigns	28 28/1(-133%)	(3) Bungle Reigns 28/1, Once-raced maiden. 15/2, fourth of 8 in claimer at Beverley (5f, soft) on debut 16 days ago, not clear run. Opposable from a win point of view. Promise amidst inexperience in a Beverley claimer on debut (5f, soft); can do much better.
1 11th (1) (50/1 -614%) Winchurch	50 50/1(-614%)	(1) Winchurch 50/1, Twice-raced winner. Successful at Southwell in April. Last of 5 in minor event (5/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Looks vulnerable under a penalty. 5f AW win on debut but disappointing on turf ten days later; vulnerable under a penalty.
13 12th (13) (22/1 -144%) Lucky Lottery	22 22/1(-144%)	(13) Lucky Lottery 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 8 in claimer at Beverley (5f, soft, 14/1) 16 days ago. Each-way chance. Tailed off on debut but 2nd in a Beverley claimer nine days later; needs more to win here.
2 13th (2) (80/1 -300%) Black Tide	80 80/1(-300%)	(2) Black Tide 80/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good, 11/1) on debut 25 days ago. Will need to leave that well behind if he's to play a leading role. Outpaced and beaten 12l on last month's Redcar debut; quickly dropped in class.
11 14th (11) (100/1 -400%) Chalena	100 100/1(-400%)	(11) Chalena 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, fifth of 6 in maiden at Chepstow (5.1f, heavy) 31 days ago. Probably more one for nurseries in due course. Fifth in each of her four 5f starts; improvement a requirement now upped in trip.

14:25 York Seller (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MRBLUESKY shaped with more promise than the bare result suggests when finishing fifth on his debut over 5f at Redcar last month, becoming outpaced before running on well when the penny dropped. Now stepping up in trip for the in-form Richard Fahey team, he gets the vote to score. I Love Dad made a pleasing start when finishing third over 5f at Goodwood last Sunday and he is respected with improvement forthcoming, while last-time-out winner Isla Bella completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to ISLA BELLA, who left her debut effort behind when striking at Brighton and she probably has more to offer. I Love Dad didn't shape at all badly in a Goodwood seller recently and he is entitled to come on for that, while Rex Carver needs considering, for all that he appeared to take a backward step at Carlisle. Lucky Lottery is not without each-way hope.

Both Bungle Reigns and MRBLUESKY can leave their debut form behind now upped to 6f.

Dam, French 1¼m winner sole start, half-sister to useful 1m winner Pabouche out of very smart winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner) High Heeled. Likely type on paper and interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting. Newcomer by Kingman out of a 1m2f winner; stablemate of Attack; market informative.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 6f/7f winner Pure Dreamer and 6f winner Nazca. One of the top 10 lots at the Craven Breeze-Up sales and well worth a look for stable that can ready one. 300,000gns breeeze-up 2yo; owner is 6-10 with 2yos this term; interesting debutant.
2 7th (2) (50/1 -1900%) Attack	50 50/1(-1900%)	(2) Attack 50/1, €460,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett colt.

14:40 Sandown Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

On paper, there is lots to like about 1,000,000gns breeze-up purchase ROYAL OFFICER and this son of Galileo can get off the mark at the first time of asking for the in-form Charlie Appleby stable. Wathnan Racing have shown their appetite for first-time-out winners in recent weeks and a bold bid from their son of Too Darn Hot, Consolidation, would come as no surprise. Attack and Aegean Sea are a couple of others worthy of consideration.

ROYAL OFFICER fetched 1 million at the Craven Breeze-Up sales, the most expensive horse at the auction, and is hard to get away from first time up. The betting will obviously be informative, with Consolidation, another who fetched a tidy sum at Newmarket, interesting on debut. Attack has strong claims having shaped promisingly at Yarmouth and looking sure to improve.

The shortlist comprises the very interesting newcomers ROYAL OFFICER and Consolidation, along with form pick Attack.

9 1st (9) (13/2 +46%) Manila Thriller	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(9) Manila Thriller 13/2, Foaled April 22. Rumble Inthejungle filly. Very green but passed a few late on without threatening when seventh of 11 in minor event (9/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. This should reveal more. Can benefit from her debut experience but needs to step up on it; up in trip..
10 2nd (10) (15/2 -50%) Oasis Sunrise	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(10) Oasis Sunrise 15/2, €20,000 yearling, Bated Breath filly. 9/1, showed a bit when fourth of 11 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut 8 days ago. Open to improvement and worth considering eased in grade. Looked like she needed further on debut; gets that this time and could take a closer hand..
3 3rd (3) (5/4 +50%) Dukes Of Haather	1.25 5/4(+50%)	(3) Dukes Of Haather 5/4, Displayed promise first 2 starts and improved as expected in line with step up in trip when third of 12 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good, 16/1) 28 days ago, headed under 2f out and keeping on. Even longer trip here promises to suit on that evidence and he's one to consider from handy draw. Improved when third in a Newmarket novice event latest; big player on that evidence..
12 4th (12) (8/1 -14%) Whiskey Glasses	8 8/1(-14%)	(12) Whiskey Glasses 8/1, Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 10 in Woodcote Stakes at Epsom (6f, soft) 14 days ago, left behind over 1f out. Debut effort at Kempton certainly wasn't devoid of promise and return to much calmer waters a plus now. Step up in trip positive and she should be capable of making an impact at this level..
4 5th (4) (25/1 -79%) Camden Flyer	25 25/1(-79%)	(4) Camden Flyer 25/1, Invincible Spirit filly. 12/1, last of 10 in maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) on debut 11 days ago, weakening under 2f out.

1 6th (1) (18/1 -227%) Almanjoor	18 18/1(-227%)	(1) Almanjoor 18/1, Sands Of Mali colt. Shaped better than first time up when fourth at Doncaster (5f) in May but made hard work of things when third of 4 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Steps up further in trip now. Goes up again in trip and down in grade and no surprise if he is heavily involved..
11 7th (11) (350/1 -2088%) Shielas Well	350 350/1(-2088%)	(11) Shielas Well 350/1, Foaled March 12. €40,000 foal, 20,000 gns yearling, Saxon Warrior filly. Dam unraced, sister to smart 1m-12.3f winner Star Lahib. Betting likely to prove a good guide on debut. Yard also saddle Magic Topissima. 40,000euros foal, 20,000gns yearling; looks stable's second string on jockey bookings..

Half-sister to 2-y-o 8.5f winner Ilyouchkine and 7f winner Magic Perseverance, both in France. Betting should prove an informative guide on debut. 16,000euros yearling; sixth foal; half-sister to two French AW winners at up to 8.5f..
2 11th (2) (400/1 -2400%) Bank On Kent	400 400/1(-2400%)	(2) Bank On Kent 400/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 14 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good, 28/1) 30 days ago, making little impression. Up in trip now and more needed. Backward step at Bath latest; sights now lowered but more needed..

14:50 Chester Seller (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

DUKES OF HAATHER has improved with every start to date and his latest third at Newmarket last month suggests that he could be very hard to beat at this level. Oasis Sunrise showed ability when fourth on her racecourse bow at Chelmsford recently and she could prove to be the main threat. That said, Almanjoor, Whiskey Glasses and Camden Flyer should not be discounted.

DUKES OF HAATHER improved as expected in line with the step up in trip when third at Newmarket (6f) and, with this even longer trip promising to be within range on that evidence, he can get off the mark at the fourth attempt. Oasis Sunrise and Whiskey Glasses are others to consider, with Almanjoor not one to be giving up on just yet.

Preference is for the proven form of DUKES OF HAATHER, who can take advantage of a drop in class.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 5-runner handicap (85/40) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Cheekpieces saw her end a losing run at Windsor last month; major player up 4lb.
1 (1) (20/1 -100%) Al Simmo	20 20/1(-100%)	(1) Al Simmo 20/1, Seven wins from 24 Flat runs. 3/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm). Off 8 months but she can make her presence felt. Tough mare who has been placed in this race in the last two seasons; wouldn't want rain.
13 1st (13) (9/4 +32%) Alfa Kellenic	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(13) Alfa Kellenic 9/4, Promising sort who arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Newcastle and Thrisk, readily landing 10-runner handicap on latter occasion. Expected to be bang there under a 6 lb penalty. Bolted up on recent handicap debut at Thirsk; 4lb well in but this opposition much stiffer.
8 2nd (8) (12/1 +0%) Flaccianello	12 12/1(+0%)	(8) Flaccianello 12/1, Off 8 months before fading fourth of 6 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Can take a step forward. Three wins as a 2yo; may come on for last month's return and her yard are going well.
7 3rd (7) (7/1 +7%) Queen Of Mougins	7 7/1(+7%)	(7) Queen Of Mougins 7/1, Lightly-raced winner. Respectable 7¾ lengths eighth of 14 to Elite Status in listed race at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 40/1) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut. No forlorn hope. Midfield in two Listed events this year; improvement required now handicapping.
4 4th (4) (11/2 +27%) Katey Kontent	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(4) Katey Kontent 11/2, 1 win from 1 run this year. Landed 10-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 7/2) 32 days ago. Merits consideration. Improved effort to win at Windsor last month; up 3lb but back against her own sex.
6 5th (6) (20/1 +20%) Star Of Lady M	20 20/1(+20%)	(6) Star Of Lady M 20/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Thirsk in May. Not seen to best effect when fifth of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 10 days ago. Considered. Four wins since November but beaten off this mark the last twice and others look stronger.
9 6th (9) (66/1 -100%) Conservationist	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Conservationist 66/1, 33/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Well held in two runs for current yard and this sharp 6f isn't sure to suit.
2 7th (2) (8/1 -23%) Midream	8 8/1(-23%)	(2) Midream 8/1, Lightly-raced winner. 7/1, good 3¼ lengths third of 6 to Electric Storm in listed race at Haydock (6f, soft) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs considering. Progressive filly who stayed on well for 3rd in Listed company last month; can do better.
11 8th (11) (11/1 -47%) Apeeling	11 11/1(-47%)	(11) Apeeling 11/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 11-runner minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 5/1) 11 days ago, digging deep. Carries penalty. Makes her handicap debut and much respected under a 6 lb penalty. Off the mark at Windsor 11 days ago; penalty could leave her vulnerable on handicap debut.
5 9th (5) (28/1 -56%) Born To Rock	28 28/1(-56%)	(5) Born To Rock 28/1, Lightly-raced winner. 20/1, 12¼ lengths seventh of 9 to Great Generation in Chartwell Stakes at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Hard to make a case for at these weights. Hasn't kicked on from last May's impressive Yarmouth debut; this mark not an obvious gift.
12 10th (12) (22/1 +12%) Lady Pink Rose	22 22/1(+12%)	(12) Lady Pink Rose 22/1, 33/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 30 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Not matched her 2yo form in three runs this season; down in weights but vulnerable.
10 11th (10) (7/1 +18%) Thursday's Child	7 7/1(+18%)	(10) Thursday's Child 7/1, Thrice-raced winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Solid fourth of 15 in handicap at this course (7f, good, 16/1) 30 days ago. Can give a good account. Won her first two starts before a good 4th on h'cap debut here last month (7f); unexposed.

15:00 York Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

JUMBEAU was sporting first-time cheekpieces (retained) when getting the better of a useful sort over 5f at Windsor last month and, upped 4lb, she could be a force to be reckoned with in sprint handicaps this season. Katey Kontent came with a wet sail to lead in the dying strides over 6f at Windsor latest and another bold bid can be expected. Punters seeking an unexposed sprinter will surely look to Midream, who makes her handicap debut on the back of a solid third in Listed company.

A few with chances but Craig Lidster's ALFA KELLENIC scored with something in hand at Thirsk last time and still looks ahead of her mark under a 6 lb penalty so is taken to complete her hat-trick. Katey Kontent is feared most on the back of her Windsor success, although a solid case can also be made for Star of Lady M, Thursday's Child and Apeeling in this competitive handicap.

Last month's Windsor winners Katey Kontent and JUMBEAU (nap), who responded well to cheekpieces last time, appeal most.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (18/1 -13%) Chasing Aphrodite	18 18/1(-13%)	(1) Chasing Aphrodite 18/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 33/1) 20 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Ties in with Wisper on latest effort; won off 2lb higher last term.
9 2nd (9) (4/1 +11%) Born Ruler	4 4/1(+11%)	(9) Born Ruler 4/1, C&D winner. Good second of 7 in handicap (6/4) at Ayr (10f, good) 23 days ago, clear of rest. Can go well again. Steadily progressive; scored comfortably over C&D last September; respected back here.
2 3rd (2) (6/1 +14%) Majestic	6 6/1(+14%)	(2) Majestic 6/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, respectable eighth of 16 in handicap at York (10.2f, good) 28 days ago. Possibilities. Largely consistent but is out of the winning habit; 0-11 since 2022 Cambridgeshire win.
8 4th (8) (10/3 +0%) Gallant Lion	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(8) Gallant Lion 10/3, C&D winner who has made an encouraging start for his current yard, sixth of 14 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) 28 days ago when left with too much to do. Expected to be bang there. Creditable efforts at Newbury for new yard; 1-1 under William Buick (C&D success).
3 5th (3) (18/1 -29%) Sweet Reward	18 18/1(-29%)	(3) Sweet Reward 18/1, Won this in 2021. 16/1, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, soft) 14 days ago. Can make his presence felt. Won this race three years ago; weighted to the hilt off current mark, however.
10 6th (10) (22/1 -120%) Bizarre Law	22 22/1(-120%)	(10) Bizarre Law 22/1, 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fair fourth of 6 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm). Off 8 months but not ruled out for his in-form yard. 0-8 since winning off this mark at Goodwood two years ago; off since October.
4 7th (4) (16/1 -33%) Wisper	16 16/1(-33%)	(4) Wisper 16/1, 12/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Can give a good account. Close fourth at Windsor last time; second over C&D last August.
6 8th (6) (80/1 -1900%) Crystal Mariner	80 80/1(-1900%)	(6) Crystal Mariner 80/1, Lightly-raced winner who returned after a wind op/10 months off with a promising third of 11 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good, 4/1) 36 days ago. Interesting. Creditable third at Chester on reappearance; looks the type to show progress; in the mix.
5 9th (5) (100/1 -1329%) Prince Maxi	100 100/1(-1329%)	(5) Prince Maxi 100/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Wolverhampton in February. Good fourth of 18 in handicap (6/1) at Newbury (10f, good) 55 days ago, running on. Shortlisted. Good fourth at Newbury most recently; has very low mileage and may do better still.
11 10th (11) (150/1 -127%) Mapogo	150 150/1(-127%)	(11) Mapogo 150/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good) 60 days ago. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving George Boughey. Has work to do. Still a maiden and has enough to prove upped in trip/grade; stable debut.

15:15 Sandown Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Being drawn widest of all might not be ideal for CRYSTAL MARINER but he can still be given a chance. Third in behind an improver on his reappearance at Chester last month, Sir Michael Stoute's charge is open to further progress himself and appears to hold strong claims off an unchanged mark. Another unexposed type Prince Maxi was a promising fourth at Newbury off this mark in April and could have a say, while dual C&D winner Sweet Reward is noted too.

C&D scorer GALLANT LION can race off the same mark as when an encouraging Newbury sixth so is fancied to open his account for his current yard. Crystal Mariner looks to have better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, with Born Ruler also firmly in the picture. Wisper completes the shortlist.

The percentage call goes to GALLANT LION, ahead of Born Ruler and Crystal Mariner.

15:25 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 10f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 (7) (33/1 -65%) Caelan	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Caelan 33/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 7/1) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. 2-3 on AW but he's been well held in his three runs on turf; cheekpieces now added.
3 1st (3) (7/2 -17%) Rebaatt	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(3) Rebaatt 7/2, Promising individual. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 15/2) 27 days ago. Remains open to progress for top yard. Went close upped to 1m2f on handicap debut at Newmarket; up 2lb but he's a big player.
5 2nd (5) (20/1 -43%) Double Jump	20 20/1(-43%)	(5) Double Jump 20/1, Signed off last season with a nursery win over 7f at Doncaster. Low-key start to this campaign, eighth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good) 35 days ago. Up in trip and stamina to prove. Well held in two handicaps this season and is far from certain to stay 1m2f on pedigree.
9 3rd (9) (22/1 -57%) Volto Di Medusa	22 22/1(-57%)	(9) Volto Di Medusa 22/1, Winning reappearance at Bath in April. Sixth of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 34 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Up in trip and mark looks stiff. Looks well worth a go at this new trip but he needs to resume his progress.
10 4th (10) (12/1 -33%) Cloudy Skye	12 12/1(-33%)	(10) Cloudy Skye 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm, 17/2) 12 days ago. Slight step back up in trip will help her. Close up in her two handicaps this season and has possibilities on this drop back in grade.
11 5th (11) (33/1 -633%) Amancio	33 33/1(-633%)	(11) Amancio 33/1, Winner at Haydock in April. 11/10, good second of 5 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, soft) 21 days ago, long way clear of the rest. Major player from the same mark. Win and good second on soft ground in last two runs and he's respected.
6 6th (6) (100/1 -2757%) Hutchence	100 100/1(-2757%)	(6) Hutchence 100/1, Gelded ahead of qualifying run and shaped quite well when fifth of 13 in novice event at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) 39 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve for leading yard. Handicap newcomer and he looks interesting on this step up in trip; yard won this in 2023.
12 7th (12) (125/1 -1036%) It's Not Risky	125 125/1(-1036%)	(12) It's Not Risky 125/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good, 12/1) 14 days ago. Blinkers now the headgear of choice. Dual AW winner but he's 0-6 on turf and has been well held last twice; others preferred.
1 8th (1) (350/1 -3789%) Tasmanian Legend	350 350/1(-3789%)	(1) Tasmanian Legend 350/1, Three AW wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 12/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 74 days ago. Little margin for error from this mark and has to prove he's as effective on turf. Held in bid for AW hat-trick last time and he still has something to prove on turf.
8 9th (8) (125/1 -1463%) Yippee	125 125/1(-1463%)	(8) Yippee 125/1, Winner at Pontefract in May. Below form third of 6 in handicap (10/3) at Leicester (10f, soft) 17 days ago, though that race may have come too soon just 4 days on. Easy win at Pontefract and he had an excuse on heavy last time; could bounce back.
4 10th (4) (350/1 -1650%) On Point	350 350/1(-1650%)	(4) On Point 350/1, Lightly-raced winner. 50/1, twelfth of 15 in handicap at York (7f, good) 30 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Difficult ask. Disappointing since debut win last May and has plenty to prove upped to 1m2f.

15:25 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

REBAATT took an expected step forward for his first foray into handicap company, being beaten just half a length into second at Newmarket. The winner has gone in again since, so a 2lb rise may underestimate the merit of William Haggas' three-year-old's performance. Amancio has been so reliable this year and should run another honest race, although Hutchence might be a bigger threat, with an opening mark of 76 not unduly harsh for the expensive son of Frankel.

There has to be a good chance that AMANCIO has been let in lightly here from an unchanged mark having found only a big improver too strong at Haydock 3 weeks ago (pair a long way clear). The selection may have most to fear from Rebaatt and Hutchence, an improving pair representing leading stables.

This can go to the unexposed REBAATT (nap), who went close behind a subsequent winner on his handicap debut at Newmarket last month.

15:35 York Stakes (Class 2) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (16/1 -60%) Havana Gila	16 16/1(-60%)	(5) Havana Gila 16/1, Foaled February 19. Havana Gold filly. Dam 6f winner. Showed some ability and likely to have derived a good deal from her fifth of 11 in novice at Kempton (6f) on debut 23 days ago. Open to improvement. Promising start over 6f at Kempton last month; should win races but perhaps not this one.
3 2nd (3) (2/1 +20%) River Seine	2 2/1(+20%)	(3) River Seine 2/1, Well-related filly who matched debut form (again displaying plenty of speed) when third of 5 in Carlisle novice (5f) 25 days ago, the stiff finish arguably catching her out. This track will suit better and there could yet be more to come for her very good yard. Speedy filly & York should suit well; closely matched with Baileys Jubilation; rain a ?.
2 3rd (2) (14/1 -75%) Raison D'etre	14 14/1(-75%)	(2) Raison D'etre 14/1, Foaled January 28. Bated Breath filly. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to useful 5f/6f winner Tarhib. Speedily-bred sort representing yard who can ready a newcomer so interesting if market vibes are positive behind her. Dam a 5f 2yo winner; useful standard to aim at on debut and likely best watched.
1 4th (1) (5/2 -11%) Baileys Jubilation	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(1) Baileys Jubilation 5/2, Oasis Dream filly who displayed promise amidst greenness when fourth on debut at Newmarket (5f) and she again ran well (fared best of those drawn high) when fifth in listed Marygate Stakes over C&D 4 weeks ago. Sound claims back in calmer waters. Promise on debut before a fine fifth in a C&D Listed event last month; strong claims.
7 5th (7) (100/1 -355%) I Got Soul	100 100/1(-355%)	(7) I Got Soul 100/1, 35,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey filly. Showed a bit when sixth of 10 in maiden at Wetherby (5.5f) on debut 11 days ago. However, she needs to step up a good deal on that if she's to play a part here. Tapped for speed at a crucial stage when 25-1 for recent Wetherby debut; up against it.
6 6th (6) (100/1 -203%) Innocent Smile	100 100/1(-203%)	(6) Innocent Smile 100/1, Foaled February 23. £45,000 yearling, 37,500 gns 2-y-o, Mehmas filly. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Yard 0-11 with their juveniles so far this term and she's likely to be better for the run. 37,500gns breeze-up 2yo; dam a 6f 2yo winner; yard not renowned for debutante success.
4 7th (4) (100/1 -4344%) Sunshine Soul	100 100/1(-4344%)	(4) Sunshine Soul 100/1, 72,000 gns 2-y-o, Mehmas filly. Impressed with the way she travelled when second of 11 in maiden at Nottingham (5f) on debut 9 days ago, taking that place final 50 yds without being knocked about. Looks sure to progress and one to consider here. 2nd to a well-touted and promising newcomer at Nottingham last week (green); can do better.

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

Although RIVER SEINE disappointed when sent off as favourite at Carlisle last time out, she finished ahead of the reopposing Baileys Jubilation in a warm Newmarket novice on her debut. The Soldier's Call filly has shown great speed on her two starts so far and this flat track will play to her strengths. The latter, who finished a creditable fifth in the Marygate last month, is an obvious threat. Sunshine Soul was second to a potentially useful type at Nottingham on debut and must also enter calculations.

SUNSHINE SOUL impressed with how she travelled when a promising second on debut at Nottingham 9 days ago and, very much the type to improve for that initial experience, she earns the vote to take a step forward and come out on top. Baileys Jubilation and River Seine both have a little more experience than the selection and can also feature.

River Seine was in front of BAILEYS JUBILATION on debut but the placings may be reversed this afternoon.

10 (10) (16/1 -14%) Ravenswell	16 16/1(-14%)	(10) Ravenswell 16/1, 11/2, very good third of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good) 20 days ago, never nearer. Looks competitive on form. Unlucky in lower grade at Salisbury last time; could go well off bottom weight.
2 1st (2) (10/1 -33%) Travolta	10 10/1(-33%)	(2) Travolta 10/1, Promising sort. 5/1 and blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 13-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 73 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve further. May have more to offer in the retained blinkers; well treated on peak 2yo effort.
8 2nd (8) (9/2 -13%) Devoirs Choice	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(8) Devoirs Choice 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent second of 6 in handicap (2/1) at Haydock (10.2f, firm) 7 days ago, clear of rest. Big shout off an unchanged mark. Good second in lower grade at Haydock last week; due to go up 3lb in future.
1 3rd (1) (11/2 -57%) Crimson Road	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(1) Crimson Road 11/2, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm, 9/4) 17 days ago. In the mix again. Won going away at Lingfield last time; open to further improvement in handicaps.
9 4th (9) (11/1 -100%) Signalman	11 11/1(-100%)	(9) Signalman 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1, fourth of 9 in minor event at Leicester (10f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Much respected on his handicap debut for top yard. May be capable of progress now qualified for handicaps; not written off.
6 5th (6) (4/1 +20%) Screaming Eagle	4 4/1(+20%)	(6) Screaming Eagle 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 11/2) 27 days ago. Can give a good account. Ran well upped to 1m2f at Newmarket most recently; possibilities off same mark.
3 6th (3) (3/1 +33%) Games People Play	3 3/1(+33%)	(3) Games People Play 3/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 8/1, best run when third of 11 in maiden at Newbury (10f, good) 28 days ago. Makes handicap debut. May well do better. Thrice-raced daughter of Sea The Stars; open to progress in handicaps.
5 7th (5) (28/1 -75%) Rukaana	28 28/1(-75%)	(5) Rukaana 28/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Nottingham in May. Eighth of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Goodwood (8f, good) 21 days ago. Up in trip. Something to find on form. Both wins in lower grades and over shorter trips; enough to prove.
4 8th (4) (33/1 +0%) Dr Foster	33 33/1(+0%)	(4) Dr Foster 33/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap (16/1) at this course (8f, soft) 22 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Form dipped in last three races; more exposed than most of these rivals.
7 9th (7) (22/1 -83%) Timetobenice	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Timetobenice 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (10/1) at Doncaster (10.2f, soft) 49 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Proving consistent but likely needs improvement to win this contest.

15:50 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

An opening mark of 82 doesn't look beyond GAMES PEOPLE PLAY based on what she achieved across her three qualifying runs, and Ralph Beckett's filly receives a tentative vote in what looks a fairly open heat. Crimson Road, who struck off a 7lb lower mark at Lingfield last time out, holds obvious claims once again, along with Devoirs Choice, who appeared to relish a step up to 10 furlongs when occupying the runner-up spot at Haydock recently.

This looks wide open. DEVOIRS CHOICE rates the pick of the weights on the back of his excellent recent Haydock second so edges the verdict. Handicap-debutants Games People Play and Travolta both appeal as likely improvers though and merit serious consideration. Ravenswell is another who can have a say in an intriguing contest.

Several runners have interesting claims. First choice is TRAVOLTA (nap), ahead of Devoirs Choice.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (20/1 -43%) Berkshire Phantom	20 20/1(-43%)	(3) Berkshire Phantom 20/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. 6/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 76 days ago, not ideally placed. Switches to turf. Only eighth at Wolverhampton in March; he's the sort to bounce back though after a break.
9 2nd (9) (17/2 -89%) Khathak	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(9) Khathak 17/2, Temperamental sort. One win from 22 Flat runs. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 9 days ago, clear of rest. That was another sound effort but he needs everything to drop right. Not one to rely on but he arrives in a good vein of form; he's one for the shortlist.
10 3rd (10) (7/2 +36%) Indie Skies	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(10) Indie Skies 7/2, First run since leaving Denis Quinn and career best when winning 13-runner minor event at Kempton (7f, 5/2), well on top finish. Off 114 days. Enters calculations given he's unexposed for this yard. Off the mark on yard debut at Kempton; form has worked out really well so he's interesting.
7 4th (7) (15/2 +32%) Soi Dao	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(7) Soi Dao 15/2, Latest win at Nottingham in May. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 12 days ago. Can give a good account. In good nick, fourth in 1m Nottingham handicap 12 days ago; she can go well again.
1 5th (1) (11/1 -214%) Vellner	11 11/1(-214%)	(1) Vellner 11/1, Latest win at Ayr in May. Very good second of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft, 4/1) 16 days ago, just failing. Nudged up 3 lb but remains of interest. Excellent second at Hamilton 16 days ago; he's not taken lightly despite a 3lb rise.
4 6th (4) (6/1 +33%) King's Crown	6 6/1(+33%)	(4) King's Crown 6/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 10/1) 11 days ago. Hasn't been with that yard long and lurks on a dangerous mark. Respectable fifth for current yard in 7f Ayr handicap 11 days ago; he can't be dismissed.
6 7th (6) (80/1 -142%) Rosenpur	80 80/1(-142%)	(6) Rosenpur 80/1, 33/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 11 days ago. Has an awful lot to prove at present. Remains a maiden and he has offered little of late for his current yard.
5 8th (5) (28/1 -367%) Wake Up Harry	28 28/1(-367%)	(5) Wake Up Harry 28/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Followed that with a brace of runner-up efforts, latest at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/4) 10 days ago. Blinkers back on for first turf start since 2021. Good Wolverhampton 2nd ten days ago; has first turf run since 2021 but enters calculations.
8 9th (8) (5/1 -50%) Darbucks	5 5/1(-50%)	(8) Darbucks 5/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 11/4, good second of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Shortlist material from stall 1 given he arrives in excellent heart. Runner-up at Carlisle latest; that form has been franked so merits serious consideration.
2 10th (2) (300/1 -1400%) Wyvern	300 300/1(-1400%)	(2) Wyvern 300/1, 12/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 50 days ago. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Stuart Williams and well treated if he can get back on track. Ended his time with Stuart Williams below par; needs yard switch to spark improvement.

16:00 Chester Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Vellner lost little in defeat on his runner-up effort behind a progressive rival at Hamilton last month and he must enter calculations off only 3lb higher in the ratings. However, this drop in trip by a furlong may leave the five-year-old vulnerable and DARBUCKS makes most appeal. Christopher Kellett's charge arrives on the back of two close-up seconds and he's fancied to take advantage of a plum draw. Further progress cannot be ruled out from last-time-out winner Indie Skies, either.

DARBUCKS really does deserve to snap his losing sequence, doing little wrong again when second at Carlisle a fortnight ago, and stall 1 at this track could be just the tonic. Indie Skies may have more to offer for Mick Appleby so he's a threat, along with Wake Up Harry.

Mick Appleby's new recruit INDIE SKIES overcame a poor draw to make a winning debut at Kempton (form been franked) and can follow up.

16:10 York Handicap (Class 2) 10f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (33/1 -136%) Ron O	33 33/1(-136%)	(10) Ron O 33/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Redcar (1m, good, 13/2) 25 days ago. Back up in trip. On a career-high mark but he is handily drawn here. All turf and AW wins at 1m, most recently 25 days ago; much more to prove in rare 1m2f run.
11 2nd (11) (10/1 -11%) Have Secret	10 10/1(-11%)	(11) Have Secret 10/1, Useful handicapper who recorded several creditable efforts in defeat last year. Returns from an 8-month break with his stable in form. Battling handicap headwinds but useful 4th in warm 1m2f handicap on reappearance last May.
13 3rd (13) (10/1 -18%) Reach	10 10/1(-18%)	(13) Reach 10/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 16 in C&D handicap at the Dante meeting 4 weeks ago, faring best of those held up. Consistent. Won 3 of 5 handicaps at 1m2f; creditable return; may yet have a bit more up her sleeve.
8 4th (8) (14/1 -133%) Godwinson	14 14/1(-133%)	(8) Godwinson 14/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who was firmly back on track when ½-length second to Metal Merchant in Newbury Spring Cup on reappearance. His subsequent run back there was to bad to be true and he can be given another chance now stepping up to 1¼m for the first time. Smart 1m handicap form in April but a letdown since; a puzzle now trying a new trip.
17 5th (17) (100/1 -525%) Qitaal	100 100/1(-525%)	(17) Qitaal 100/1, Won on first start back with former yard at Doncaster in March. Has posted a couple of good in-frame efforts since (including over C&D) but his latest Redcar run was disappointing. Solid marker in soft-ground 1m2f handicaps earlier but dropped right out at Redcar latest.
3 6th (3) (100/1 -1329%) Penzance	100 100/1(-1329%)	(3) Penzance 100/1, 4-y-o who has progressed at a rate of knots on AW over the winter, winning 4 times and good second of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) on Good Friday. Given a bit of time since. Interesting to see if he can continue the good work back on turf. Major success story at 1m2f on AW for new yard; interesting back on turf.
14 7th (14) (100/1 -203%) Parlando	100 100/1(-203%)	(14) Parlando 100/1, Winner in Bahrain in February but has struggled back in Britain. Not hard to look elsewhere. Winning debut as 2yo; sole win since in Bahrain; up against it on British form.
16 8th (16) (100/1 -1076%) High Fibre	100 100/1(-1076%)	(16) High Fibre 100/1, 20/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable seventh of 14 in handicap at Newbury (1¼m, good) on reappearance 28 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Seemingly fragile (very lightly raced in recent years) but he is capable from this sort of mark. Seen just once in each of the last 2 years; promising reappearance and retains potential.
7 9th (7) (40/1 -300%) Arthur's Realm	40 40/1(-300%)	(7) Arthur's Realm 40/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year. 14/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Redcar (1¼m, soft) 18 days ago. Did that with something to spare but a 6 lb rise demands further improvement. Emphatic winner back over 1m2f at Redcar (soft); up 6lb; chance much improved by rain.
4 10th (4) (66/1 -65%) Storm Catcher	66 66/1(-65%)	(4) Storm Catcher 66/1, Likeable sort who enhanced fine AW strike rate when narrowly landing the odds in a Wolverhampton handicap in February. Well held back on turf at Newmarket last time and has still to prove he's as effective on the grass. Good AW record at 1m2f; 0-7 on turf but does act on grass; good run not ruled out.
2 11th (2) (28/1 -27%) Killybegs Warrior	28 28/1(-27%)	(2) Killybegs Warrior 28/1, Won a valuable 1¼m handicap on the July Course last summer and some smart efforts in defeat subsequently, notably his second from the front in 11f Rosebery at Kempton on reappearance in April. Below par on turf since, though. Bounce back needed. Has C&D form on varying ground; work to do on this year's turf form, weak at Epsom latest.
12 12th (12) (100/1 -614%) Mustazeed	100 100/1(-614%)	(12) Mustazeed 100/1, Creditable eighth of 14 in handicap at Newbury (1¼m, good, 6/1) on reappearance 28 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Won first 2 runs for yard in 2023; no advance since; still 4lb above latest winning mark.
9 13th (9) (80/1 -841%) Old Harrovian	80 80/1(-841%)	(9) Old Harrovian 80/1, Looked very useful last spring. Notably strong in the market in competitive Rosebery at Kempton (11f) on return in April but he faded after racing keenly. Retains potential, particularly if settling better this time. Looked good when winning two 1m4f AW novices last spring; lesser runs on turf/AW since.
1 14th (1) (100/1 -1011%) Oviedo	100 100/1(-1011%)	(1) Oviedo 100/1, Progressed well last season, including second over C&D at the Ebor meeting. Off 7 months, shaped as if better for run when last of 6 in Chester Group 2 on reappearance. May do better back in a handicap. Cracking handicap form at 1m2f and 1m1f on good to firm in 2023; well held on reappearance.
6 15th (6) (100/1 -1076%) Machete	100 100/1(-1076%)	(6) Machete 100/1, First run since leaving Fabrice Chappet when promising 4¾ lengths fourth of 10 to Arthur's Realm in handicap at Redcar (1¼m, soft, 20/1) on UK debut 18 days ago. Interesting runner. Listed AW winner in France, 1-15 on turf there; unlucky debut 4th for new yard; intriguing.
5 16th (5) (100/1 -900%) Scampi	100 100/1(-900%)	(5) Scampi 100/1, Course winner. 11/2, creditable fourth of 12 in C&D handicap on final start last year. Hood back on. His course record makes him a tough one to discount but the draw could have been kinder back from 8 months off. Two good 1m4f wins in 2023, including here; lacks recent run; work to do over 1m2f.
15 17th (15) (100/1 -150%) Masekela	100 100/1(-150%)	(15) Masekela 100/1, Pretty smart at his best but it's 13 runs since last win in 2021. Has left Andrew Balding ahead of reappearance. It's likely he's best watched this time. Finished 4th in the 2022 Derby; fell from grace in handicaps last year; new yard.

16:10 York Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

REACH made a pleasing return to action when filling the frame over C&D last month. A progressive sort during her five-year-old campaign, the Sea The Stars mare can build on that reappearance run before perhaps attempting to double up in the John Smith's Cup next month. Penzance came up just short when looking to complete a five-timer at Newcastle in March but further progress isn't out of the question, while others to note include Oviedo, Scampi and Arthur's Realm.

GODWINSON can't have been himself at Newbury last time and is worth another chance to confirm the promise of his reappearance effort at the same Berkshire venue. Machete caught the eye when fourth in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar on his first start for David O'Meara and is second choice ahead of Reach, a good third over C&D at the Dante meeting, and Penzance.

Any rain to fall will improve the chance of MACHETE who looks interesting off this mark on his old French form.

16:25 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (6/4 -81%) Divine Breath	1.5 6/4(-81%)	(2) Divine Breath 6/4, Promising type who was well suited by the return to 7f when scoring by 6 lengths in 7f Chelmsford handicap last week. Well treated under a 6 lb penalty. Made all for 6l success at Chelmsford last week, taking AW record to 2-3; up 9lb in future.
5 (5) (6/1 -9%) Zipster	6 6/1(-9%)	(5) Zipster 6/1, Winner of 1m Yarmouth handicap on reappearance in May. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (1m, soft, 11/4) 22 days ago. Not ideally drawn but the drop back to 7f may suit and interesting that Buick retains the ride. Won at Yarmouth then failed to get home on soft going here later in May; still of interest.
8 (8) (25/1 -39%) Graecia	25 25/1(-39%)	(8) Graecia 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, good second of 10 in maiden at Thirsk (7f, soft) 41 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Ran well in Thirsk maiden most recently; may be open to progress in handicaps.
3 1st (3) (6/1 +25%) Sunfall	6 6/1(+25%)	(3) Sunfall 6/1, Kempton winner in April. 10/3, tenth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 26 days ago, left poorly placed. Remains open to improvement. Won at Kempton on reappearance; disappointing at Newmarket since but may do better still.
7 2nd (7) (66/1 -65%) King Of Charm	66 66/1(-65%)	(7) King Of Charm 66/1, Made a winning debut on AW last September. Well beaten on turf at Yarmouth 3 weeks later. Switches to handicap company on return from a mark which demands improvement. Raced twice last term, winning on AW then comfortably held on turf; gelded since.
11 3rd (11) (18/1 -13%) Northfield Lake	18 18/1(-13%)	(11) Northfield Lake 18/1, Fair form when placed in maiden/novice events over 6f on turf on his last 2 outings. Returns to 7f for handicap debut. Form figures of 4432 reflect his steady progress; possibilities on handicap debut.
12 4th (12) (12/1 -9%) Lady Flora	12 12/1(-9%)	(12) Lady Flora 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 5 in maiden (5/2) at Kempton (6f) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut for leading connections. From a family that has served her yard well; should improve now handicapping; interesting.
10 5th (10) (9/1 +59%) Rating	9 9/1(+59%)	(10) Rating 9/1, Returned with a good third of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 8/1) 43 days ago but needs to shrug off a very disappointing run on AW since. Placed in last three turf attempts but is 0-9 overall and the most exposed contender.
1 6th (1) (16/1 -14%) Saviour	16 16/1(-14%)	(1) Saviour 16/1, Fair form at 2 but well-held sixth of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good) on reappearance 14 days ago. Hooded first time now. Pulled too hard on reappearance; may settle better and show progress with hood now applied.
4 7th (4) (18/1 -13%) State Flag	18 18/1(-13%)	(4) State Flag 18/1, 7/4, career best when winning 9-runner maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) on reappearance 22 days ago, bit in hand. Makes turf and handicap debut. Justified favouritism in Lingfield AW maiden on seasonal debut; may build on that success.
6 8th (6) (16/1 +11%) Mirroring	16 16/1(+11%)	(6) Mirroring 16/1, Fair winner at 2. 15/2, below form sixth of 10 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on final start. Been off 8 months and might be best watched this time. Absent since coming up short in better race at Newmarket last September.
9 9th (9) (25/1 +0%) Lunar Streets	25 25/1(+0%)	(9) Lunar Streets 25/1, Lightly-raced winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Brighton (7f, good) on reappearance 44 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Others are preferred. Never landed a blow at Brighton on reappearance but may fare better at this venue.

16:25 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

DIVINE BREATH made a mockery of her mark when stepping back up to this trip at Chelmsford last time, and a 6lb penalty still leaves her very well treated in what is admittedly a much more competitive race. She looks the one to side with, but State Flag could have plenty more to come after getting off the mark at Lingfield last month and an opening mark of 75 doesn't look beyond Tom Ward's filly. Lunar Streets wasn't beaten that far on her reappearance last time and she should do better with that run under her belt.

DIVINE BREATH gets out under a penalty before a 15 lb rise for last week's easy Chelmsford success kicks in and she'll be tough to beat if in a similar mood. Sunfall can have a line put through her Newmarket handicap debut run and looks second best ahead of Zipster.

Divine Breath has to be feared but likely improver LADY FLORA is an interesting alternative. State Flag is also respected.

Form	Odds	Runs
15 (15) (14/1 +0%) Vlhova	14 14/1(+0%)	(15) Vlhova 14/1, Foaled March 8. €12,000 foal, €28,000 yearling, Shaman filly. Half-sister to Italian winner up to 1½m Twin Secret. Dam 1m-10.7f winner. Third of 7 to Peregrine Falcon in barrier trial in May. Market likely best guide, yard can have an early 2yo.
8 (8) (28/1 -40%) Kodilicious	28 28/1(-40%)	(8) Kodilicious 28/1, Kodi Bear filly. 11/2, tenth of 11 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) on debut 38 days ago, merely closing up late. Thought capable of better then and it's feasible to think she can do better for her good yard. Awkwardly away when never counting on Navan debut; should come on for the experience.
17 (17) (150/1 +0%) Moonhall Lass	150 150/1(+0%)	(17) Moonhall Lass 150/1, Once-raced filly. 50/1, twelfth of 21 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut 21 days ago, missing break. Midfield finish on last month's Curragh debut, hard to see her improving to feature here.
21 (21) (150/1 +0%) Gateway Arch	150 150/1(+0%)	(21) Gateway Arch 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Eleventh of 16 in maiden at Navan (5f, good, 200/1) 6 days ago. RESERVE. Ssoundly beaten both starts, easily passed over; reserve.
5 1st (5) (6/5 +26%) Fiery Lucy	1.2 6/5(+26%)	(5) Fiery Lucy 6/5, 38,000 gns yearling, Without Parole filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 8.6f-1¼m winner Mukaddamah. 17/2, second of 13 in maiden at Cork (5f, good to soft) on debut 24 days ago, keeping on well. Likely to improve up in trip and big shout. Fast-closing Cork second should relish this extra furlong; major player.
3 2nd (3) (9/1 -80%) Lethimfly	9 9/1(-80%)	(3) Lethimfly 9/1, Twice-raced colt. 16/1, fourth of 13 in maiden at Cork (5f, good to soft) 24 days ago. 6f will suit and not dismissed. Cork run encouraging but 1l to find with Fiery Lucy on that run.
18 3rd (18) (6/1 +14%) Gloriously Glam	6 6/1(+14%)	(18) Gloriously Glam 6/1, €3,000 foal, €9,000 yearling, Profitable filly. Half-sister to 1½m winner Liars Corner and useful 1¾m winner Arthurian Fable. Dam unraced half-sister to US Grade 1 1¼m winner Ave. 33/1, fifth of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft) on debut 39 days ago. More to come. Curragh debut fifth behind a stablemate augurs well; one to consider.
1 4th (1) (14/1 -87%) Grand Dante	14 14/1(-87%)	(1) Grand Dante 14/1, Foaled February 25. $45,000 yearling, Instagrand colt. Dam US 1m winner. Staying-on second in Naas barrier trial last month, plenty green; respected.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 5f winner Klass Action and 1m winner Duckadilly. Won 7-runner barrier trial in May. Won Naas barrier trial last month, worth a look in the market.
19 6th (19) (18/1 -80%) Barton Key	18 18/1(-80%)	(19) Barton Key 18/1, Twice-raced colt. Seventh of 21 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good, 13/2) 21 days ago. RESERVE. Creditable runs last month but good bit more required to make the frame here; reserve.
11 7th (11) (33/1 -65%) Gangsta Man	33 33/1(-65%)	(11) Gangsta Man 33/1, Lightly-raced colt. Fourth of 7 in maiden (28/1) at Tipperary (5f, soft) 16 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Plenty of experience but more needed to play a major role; blinkers tried.
2 8th (2) (12/1 -118%) The Road Is Long	12 12/1(-118%)	(2) The Road Is Long 12/1, Foaled March 14. €39,000 yearling, Coulsty colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1m Chimgan. Dam maiden (stayed 7f). One to take seriously on debut. Respected source, market watch advised.

12 10th (12) (100/1 -203%) James The Second	100 100/1(-203%)	(12) James The Second 100/1, Foaled March 11. River Boyne gelding. Half-brother to winner abroad by Alhebayeb. Dam maiden half-sister to useful winner up to 8.3f (stayed 11.5f) Canary Row. Yard's juveniles invariably forward so don't rule out.
16 11th (16) (50/1 +24%) Vovatia	50 50/1(+24%)	(16) Vovatia 50/1, Once-raced filly. Thirteenth of 21 in maiden (25/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut 21 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Slow to break, never counted on last month's Curragh debut; likely to need more time.
10 12th (10) (66/1 +0%) Extraordinary One	66 66/1(+0%)	(10) Extraordinary One 66/1, Foaled March 24. €8,000 yearling, resold €5,000 yearling, Mayson colt. Dam unraced. Watching brief advised on debut.
9 13th (9) (50/1 -52%) Altoir Na Greine	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Altoir Na Greine 50/1, Tenth of 12 in maiden at Cork (5f, good, 14/1) on debut 35 days ago, slowly away. Never really landed a blow on Cork debut last month; may need more time.
14 14th (14) (80/1 -142%) Sovereign Banter	80 80/1(-142%)	(14) Sovereign Banter 80/1, Foaled May 6. Ten Sovereigns colt. Half-brother to 6f winner Bold Optimist. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart winner up to 6f Kathy Dream. Speedily-bred debutant, worth a market look.
20 15th (20) (250/1 -150%) Allenwood	250 250/1(-150%)	(20) Allenwood 250/1, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 11 in maiden (80/1) at this C&D (good) 7 days ago. RESERVE. Two runs modest enough, more likely type for a nursery in time; reserve.
7 16th (7) (28/1 +15%) Udacha	28 28/1(+15%)	(7) Udacha 28/1, Foaled April 7. €10,000 foal, Acclamation colt. Dam, useful French 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5f/5.5f winner Signora Cabello, won Queen Mary Stakes/Prix Robert Papin. Newcomer of limited appeal on breeding.

16:30 Fairyhouse Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Having stayed on late to snatch second close home over 5f at Cork last month, FIERY LUCY should appreciate the additional furlong. Making her racecourse debut on that occasion, the Gavin Cromwell-trained filly always raced prominently before finding plenty for pressure. With the benefit of that experience, the daughter of Without Parole holds leading claims. Lethimfly, less than half a length back in fourth in that aforementioned race, should again make his presence felt. The Noel Meade-trained colt is one of the more experienced runners here, having his third outing. The Natalia Lupini-trained Saint Brandon, a well-bred colt related to multiple winners, looks one of the more interesting debutants.

FIERY LUCY shaped really well on debut at Cork, coming out second best in a 4-way finish, and seems sure to improve. She gets the vote in this big-field sales maiden. Gloriously Glam has more to offer also and is a big player. The Road Is Long heads up a host of interesting newcomers.

The manner in which FIERY LUCY (nap) finished off her debut run at Cork suggests she'll relish this step up in trip

16:35 Chester Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 (8) (12/1 -60%) Lockdown Lass	12 12/1(-60%)	(8) Lockdown Lass 12/1, Course winner. 6/1, below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, heavy) 66 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Probably needed that reappearance and fancied to step up on that. Course scorer who raced too freely on her return when fifth at Thirsk; can build on it now.
3 1st (3) (11/1 +56%) Touchwood	11 11/1(+56%)	(3) Touchwood 11/1, 33/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 16 days ago. Needs to leave that effort well behind. Yet to hit top form this season, beating only one at Beverley 16 days ago; a bit to prove.
7 2nd (7) (8/1 +50%) My Honey B	8 8/1(+50%)	(7) My Honey B 8/1, 22/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Should be at peak fitness now and she racked up a hat-trick last summer. Faded into eighth at Pontefract latest; could take a step forward now so possibilities.
5 3rd (5) (15/2 +53%) Once Adaay	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(5) Once Adaay 15/2, Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. Wasn't seen to best effect when third of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago, denied a clear run. Another good effort when third at Yarmouth 18 days ago; he can go well again eased 1lb.
10 4th (10) (40/1 -60%) Red Walls	40 40/1(-60%)	(10) Red Walls 40/1, Three wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. 12/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days ago. Up in trip. Suffered a poor run when a solid seventh of 12 at Wolver (6f) ten days ago; shortlisted.
9 5th (9) (50/1 -1150%) Daisy Roots	50 50/1(-1150%)	(9) Daisy Roots 50/1, Another excellent effort when second of 12 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago, running on. Same mark so seems sure to be bang there. Runner-up for third consecutive start at Brighton 17 days ago; big shout off same mark.
4 6th (4) (20/1 -627%) Star Shield	20 20/1(-627%)	(4) Star Shield 20/1, Placed for the fifth time this season when second of 11 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 9 days ago, conceding first run, too. Consistency hard to fault so he can give it another good go. Arrives in very good nick, runner-up at Redcar nine days ago; must enter calculations.
2 7th (2) (80/1 -900%) Roaring Ralph	80 80/1(-900%)	(2) Roaring Ralph 80/1, Respectable 4¼ lengths third of 8 to Mr Squires in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 10 days ago, not ideally placed as the race unfolded. One to consider. Back on track when third at Wolver ten days ago; he needs considering off the same mark.
6 8th (6) (400/1 -1112%) Serenity Rose	400 400/1(-1112%)	(6) Serenity Rose 400/1, Didn't achieve a great deal despite finishing fourth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Yet to hit top form in two runs for her current yard; she needs to take a step forward.
1 9th (1) (250/1 -12400%) Mr Squires	250 250/1(-12400%)	(1) Mr Squires 250/1, Improved again when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 10 days ago, easily. Carries penalty but remains a massive player back on turf. Stall 10 could be an issue, though. Quickly resumed winning ways at Wolver latest; player under 5lb pen despite a wide draw.

16:35 Chester Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Although he's been handed the widest draw of all, MR SQUIRES could hardly have been more impressive when winning over 7f at Wolverhampton last time and a 5lb penalty shouldn't stop him if turning up here in similar form. Star Shield was a close second at Ripon last week and he should go close again from stall two, while Daisy Roots has been running consistently well in defeat of late and she looks to have solid place claims.

DAISY ROOTS has been knocking very loudly on the door of late, runner-up on her last 3 outings and that elusive third win may well be forthcoming. Mr Squires and Star Shield also arrive in excellent order and head the opposition.

Lots with chances but Adam West's likeable filly DAISY ROOTS is taken to end a run of second placings and gain a deserved success here.

Form	Odds	Runs
11 1st (11) (22/1 -10%) Invisible Friend	22 22/1(-10%)	(11) Invisible Friend 22/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap (15/2) at this C&D (soft). Off 8 months. Has work to do. Didn't fire over C&D in final run last season and has bit to prove after 265 days off.
10 2nd (10) (100/1 -1438%) Pol Roger	100 100/1(-1438%)	(10) Pol Roger 100/1, Won 7-runner handicap at Ayr (10f, good, 4/1) 23 days ago, well positioned. Looks a definite player in his current mood. Resurgent 4yo who has won at Ayr last twice and remains feasibly treated; respected.
13 3rd (13) (28/1 -133%) Shifter	28 28/1(-133%)	(13) Shifter 28/1, Five wins from 19 Flat runs. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Redcar (10f, soft, 11/4) 17 days ago, cosily. Has won three of her last five starts and is respected in this hat-trick bid.
16 4th (16) (8/1 -33%) Life On The Rocks	8 8/1(-33%)	(16) Life On The Rocks 8/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. 2/1, won 8-runner handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to soft) 3 days ago, always holding on. Thriving at present and deserves respect for all that this is a good deal more competitive. Has won three in a row and his win on Tuesday was off this mark; shortlisted.
5 5th (5) (28/1 -331%) Leadenhall	28 28/1(-331%)	(5) Leadenhall 28/1, First run since leaving Ralph Beckett when creditable third of 10 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good, 22/1) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Can make presence felt. Good third on stable debut at Redcar and he looks worth a try at this new trip; in the mix.
15 6th (15) (20/1 -25%) My Harrison George	20 20/1(-25%)	(15) My Harrison George 20/1, 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, firm) 7 days ago. Fair efforts last twice but he's now 0-10 and this is highly competitive back up in grade..
7 7th (7) (50/1 -456%) Moonlit Cloud	50 50/1(-456%)	(7) Moonlit Cloud 50/1, Latest win at Bath in May. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Newbury (10f, good) 28 days ago, faring best of those held up. One to consider. 4l win at Bath last month and was only beaten 2l at Newbury last time; dangerous.
6 8th (6) (100/1 -900%) Richard P Smith	100 100/1(-900%)	(6) Richard P Smith 100/1, 17/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 32 days ago, bit in hand. Has the right style for a big-field event like this, so worthy of consideration. Won at Windsor on his return last month and he's only 2lb higher here; respected.
9 9th (9) (100/1 -456%) Bint Al Daar	100 100/1(-456%)	(9) Bint Al Daar 100/1, 15/2, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Back up in trip. Up against it. Laboured in her last two runs and she needs a major revival here.
3 10th (3) (100/1 -400%) Jean Baptiste	100 100/1(-400%)	(3) Jean Baptiste 100/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 7¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Pol Roger in handicap at Ayr (10f, good, 3/1) 23 days ago, dictating pace. Others make more appeal. Disappointing at Ayr latest and losing run is now up to 19; down the list.
4 11th (4) (200/1 -100%) Manu Et Corde	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Manu Et Corde 200/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Iain Jardine when tenth of 11 in handicap (150/1) at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 13 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Hard to fancy. Lost his way for Jim Bolger and has struggled in three runs this term; lots to prove.
12 12th (12) (100/1 -525%) Paris Lights	100 100/1(-525%)	(12) Paris Lights 100/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 12 days ago. Back up in trip. Not dismissed. Eyecatching third at Nottingham last time and could be dangerous back up in trip.
14 13th (14) (100/1 -150%) Cosmic Soul	100 100/1(-150%)	(14) Cosmic Soul 100/1, Last of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Catterick (15.9f, good) 32 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Something to find on form. Has struggled over hurdles and on the Flat for new yard this year; lots to prove.
2 14th (2) (100/1 -809%) Prenup	100 100/1(-809%)	(2) Prenup 100/1, Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (10f, good to firm, 7/1) 34 days ago. Not dismissed for all that others look better treated. Still 5lb higher than for her last win and has some work to do in this competitive race.
1 \|DQ\| (1) (80/1 -3456%) Arctic Mountain	80 80/1(-3456%)	(1) Arctic Mountain 80/1, 2/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm) 6 days ago, driven clear. Still ahead of the handicapper under a penalty and boasts leading claims in first-time cheekpieces. Emphatic win at Lingfield last week and he's 6lb well in under a penalty; strong claims.
8 \|PU\| (8) (100/1 -300%) Shimmering Sands	100 100/1(-300%)	(8) Shimmering Sands 100/1, Twelfth of 13 in handicap (15/2) at this C&D (good). Off 9 months. Others more persuasive. Had wind surgery but this looks a tough task after 278 days off and others are preferred.

16:45 York Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

The unexposed ARCTIC MOUNTAIN is 6lb well-in under a 5lb penalty for scoring at Lingfield six days ago and, should the relatively quick turnaround be no issue, he's taken to repeat the dose. Pol Roger completed a double at Ayr last month and there might be more to come over this trip. That said, there ought to be plenty of pace on offer which could help a closer such as Shifter, who attempts to land a hat-trick following last month's Redcar triumph.

ARCTIC MOUNTAIN improved and created a good impression when scoring at Lingfield 6 days ago so, if the race doesn't come too soon, he's capable of defying a penalty in first-time cheekpieces. Pol Roger and Life On The Rocks are other last-time-out winners who arrive on the up, and both are likely to be involved.

This is highly competitive but the vote goes to ARCTIC MOUNTAIN, who is well treated under a penalty for his Lingfield win last week.

13 8th (13) (80/1 +20%) Oitentinha	80 80/1(+20%)	(13) Oitentinha 80/1, Once-raced filly. 100/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, soft) on debut 46 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not disgraced as a 100-1 chance when mid-division at Naas, likely to need more experience.
4 9th (4) (300/1 -200%) Boutella	300 300/1(-200%)	(4) Boutella 300/1, 34,000 gns yearling, Bated Breath filly.

16:50 Cork Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The market should be watched closely, with very little meaningful form to go on. Donnacha O'Brien has won this race for the last two years in a row and saddles interesting debutant SAY YES TO DREAMS. The Siyouni bay is a sister to Louise Procter, who was sent off favourite in the French 1000 Guineas on her most recent start but finished down the field. Wayne Lordan has guided three Aidan O'Brien-trained debutants to victory in the last eight days and the pair are represented by Sweet Chariot. Out of Group 1 winner Clemmie, the Wootton Bassett filly is sure to give a good account of herself. The Paddy Twomey-trained Wild Rover Lady is of definite interest. A 98,000 euro purchase at the Goffs Orby Sale, she is out of a sister to Telescope. Bought for 150,000 euro as a yearling, Amazing Athea is another for the shortlist, along with fellow newcomers Dandy Khan, Mood Altering and Babouche.

This can go to a newcomer and the superbly-bred SWEET CHARIOT can give Aidan O'Brien and Wayne Lordan another first-time-up winner with the pair having had 3 in the last week. Babouche and Wild Rover Lady are a couple of others to consider before betting clues.

Newcomers could dominate here and SWEET CHARIOT, by Wootton Bassett out of Cheveley Park winner Clemmie may prove the pick.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (3/1 +25%) Cock And Bull	3 3/1(+25%)	(3) Cock And Bull 3/1, Winner at Kempton in April. Good close second of 4 in handicap (evens) at Wolverhampton (1½m) 46 days ago but he has been hit with a 5 lb rise for that. Consistent handicap form at about 1m4f and this longer trip is worth a go.
5 2nd (5) (6/1 -33%) Night Horn	6 6/1(-33%)	(5) Night Horn 6/1, Fair form. Seventh of 10 on 1½m Doncaster handicap debut 14 days ago. Early days but Unlike his rivals, it's been a slow start to the campaign; needs to find something.
4 3rd (4) (6/4 +33%) Allonsy	1.5 6/4(+33%)	(4) Allonsy 6/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (8/15) at Leicester (1½m, good to soft) 18 days ago but the reopposing College Choir was a length ahead in second. May benefit from this longer trip. Could have done with a truer test when just behind College Choir at Leicester.
6 4th (6) (12/1 +40%) Yarborough	12 12/1(+40%)	(6) Yarborough 12/1, Modest form. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) 20 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Up in trip. Close up at Brighton and was boxing on when a close fourth over Windsor's extended 1m3f.
1 5th (1) (6/1 -9%) Arch Legend	6 6/1(-9%)	(1) Arch Legend 6/1, Left qualifying runs well behind when making a winning handicap bow at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) in April. Followed up in good style under a penalty at Wolverhampton and may have found a third run in quick succession too much when well held at Chester 5 weeks ago. Even if bouncing back from Chester he has a bit to prove off this career-high mark.

17:00 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Cock And Bull ran another cracker when narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton last time, but a 5lb rise for that does temper enthusiasm slightly and it might be worth chancing ALLONSY to get off the mark at the sixth time of asking. Ralph Beckett's filly has run well in defeat on a few occasions and she looks ready for this step up in trip. Night Horn has struggled to land a blow on his four starts to date, but Andrew Balding's colt is bred to do better and he's another who could step forward for this stiffer test of stamina.

ARCH LEGEND has been freshened up since his Chester no show and is taken to resume his progression. Allonsy can give Mark/Charlie Johnston's charge most to think about.

This could turn messy but, tactics aside, ALLONSY gets the vote now sent over a trip that she appears to be crying out for.

17:05 Fairyhouse Handicap 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (6/1 -20%) Annie Edson Taylor	6 6/1(-20%)	(5) Annie Edson Taylor 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in maiden at Cork (6f, good to soft, 13/8) 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Cork comeback run a bit underwhelming; could struggle to justify this rating.
8 1st (8) (20/1 +0%) Fair Taxes	20 20/1(+0%)	(8) Fair Taxes 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1 and hooded for 1st time, eighth of 17 in maiden at Navan (5f, good) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut from a mark that demands more. Hood worn latest now discarded for handicap debut; others preferred.
1 2nd (1) (7/2 -17%) Grand City Hall	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(1) Grand City Hall 7/2, Winning reappearance at Cork. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (8/1) at the Curragh (7f, good) 20 days ago. Can give a good account. Return to 6f to suit and rider's claim a positive on joint top-weight.
9 3rd (9) (14/1 -17%) Land Lover	14 14/1(-17%)	(9) Land Lover 14/1, Winner at Sligo in May. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (5f, good, 5/1) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive. Sligo winner will appreciate return to 6f but high enough mark at present.
2 4th (2) (13/8 +35%) National Lady	1.625 13/8(+35%)	(2) National Lady 13/8, Didn't need to improve to win 15-runner maiden at this course (6.1f, good to soft, evens) 15 days ago, driven out. Makes handicap debut. Another bold show likely. Recent C&D maiden winner on a decent mark and likely major player.
7 5th (7) (7/1 +0%) Louiescall	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Louiescall 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good third of 13 in handicap (20/1) at Listowel (6.3f, good) 12 days ago. Firmly enters calculations given he's totally unexposed as a sprinter. Listowel handicap debut encouraging; unchanged mark and one to consider.
6 6th (6) (12/1 -71%) Glamorously	12 12/1(-71%)	(6) Glamorously 12/1, Visored for first time when sixth of 9 in handicap (22/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) 21 days ago. Yard in good form and assessor has given her every chance. Another still to prove she has trained on; down 9lb already this term.
3 7th (3) (11/1 +8%) Clonmacash	11 11/1(+8%)	(3) Clonmacash 11/1, 28/1, good sixth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 9 days ago. May have needed that reappearance and a visor now goes on. Respectable seasonal return at the Curragh 9 days ago; visor tried.
10 8th (10) (80/1 -142%) Call Henry	80 80/1(-142%)	(10) Call Henry 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving David Dennis when sixth of 7 in minor event at this C&D (good, 80/1) 7 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Limited appeal from that mark. Well held (stiff task) on yard debut over C&D a week ago, this looks more realistic.
11 9th (11) (22/1 -38%) Limoncello Lady	22 22/1(-38%)	(11) Limoncello Lady 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 13 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft, 5/1) 51 days ago. Stable in good form. Not easy to make a case for. Gowran debut in April bitterly disappointing; back in trip here but opposable.
4 10th (4) (22/1 -10%) Lia Fail	22 22/1(-10%)	(4) Lia Fail 22/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to soft, 66/1) 19 days ago. Back down in trip and other more persuasive on balance of form. Yet to prove she has trained on, handicapper giving her every chance.

17:05 Fairyhouse Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Cork maiden winner GRAND CITY HALL can make the breakthrough in handicap company. A fair fourth in a stronger race at the Curragh last time, the Jarlath Fahey-trained gelding only weakened inside the final furlong. Dropping back to 6f looks to be very much in his favour now, while Jack Cleary claims a valuable 7lb. Well drawn three off the rail, everything looks in place for a big run. Recent C&D winner National Lady won't find life easy from a wide draw, but the Ger Lyons-trained filly was impressive last time and looks to be an improving three-year-old. Clonmacash needs to step up on recent efforts, but the application of a first-time visor may bring about further improvement.

LOUISECALL looked a natural back in trip when third at Listowel 12 days ago and on that evidence, he's capable of winning a handicap from his current mark. This is competitive though, with National Lady and Glamorously a couple of potential threats.

Recent C&D maiden winner NATIONAL LADY begins her handicap campaign on a decent-looking mark and gets the vote

17:10 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 8f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 (8) (16/1 -33%) Asteverdi	16 16/1(-33%)	(8) Asteverdi 16/1, Good second at Thirsk on return but disappointing when seventh of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Bit more needed. Her form has been up and down so far and was well held at Yarmouth latest; risks attached.
6 1st (6) (9/1 -29%) Native King	9 9/1(-29%)	(6) Native King 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden for George Boughey. Third of 5 in maiden (11/10) at Newcastle (8f) 91 days ago, pulling his chance away and not given a hard time once seen off by the winner. Makes handicap/turf debut for new yard and could do better. Unexposed handicap newcomer and needs watching in the market on stable/turf debut.
2 2nd (2) (10/1 -43%) Juantorena	10 10/1(-43%)	(2) Juantorena 10/1, Winner at Brighton in May. 9/1, eighteenth of 19 in handicap at York (7f, good) 20 days ago, too free and doing too much too soon. Yard does well here. Won at Brighton last month but was tailed off last time and needs to bounce back.
13 3rd (13) (5/1 -25%) Bulmer Bank	5 5/1(-25%)	(13) Bulmer Bank 5/1, 20/1, good third of 19 in handicap at York (7f, good) 20 days ago. Should get another strong pace to aim at here and can go well. 0-7 but was third in big field at York latest and is respected off an unchanged mark.
3 4th (3) (14/1 -56%) Mai Dubai	14 14/1(-56%)	(3) Mai Dubai 14/1, Won at Southwell in August. Off 8 months and gelded, sixth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 7/1) on return 40 days ago. Down in trip. Wide draw to overcome. Southwell winner but he was beaten 13l last time and still has something to prove on turf.
7 5th (7) (18/1 -414%) Treasure Time	18 18/1(-414%)	(7) Treasure Time 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Off 7 months, fourth of 9 in maiden (4/1) at Newcastle (6f) on return 33 days ago. Up in trip for handicap debut and likely improver for top stable. Unexposed gelding with a striking pedigree; needs a close look on handicap debut.
5 6th (5) (16/1 -129%) Colorada Dancer	16 16/1(-129%)	(5) Colorada Dancer 16/1, York maiden winner in October. Off 7 months and 7/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at York (10.2f, good) on return 20 days ago. Back down in trip. Has work to do. Had tough task on handicap debut and could resume his progress back at this trip.
10 7th (10) (100/1 -400%) Close Connection	100 100/1(-400%)	(10) Close Connection 100/1, Gelded and much improved when winning at Pontefract (6f, heavy) on return. 16/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Could get back on track upped in trip now. Still unexposed but he needs to kick on again at this new trip.
4 8th (4) (200/1 -2122%) Operate	200 200/1(-2122%)	(4) Operate 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 at Carlisle (6.9f, good to firm, 4/1) 25 days ago. Makes the running and could be interesting from stall 1 on handicap debut. Handicap newcomer who looks feasibly treated on his best form; interesting back up in trip.
9 9th (9) (28/1 -75%) Swift Salian	28 28/1(-75%)	(9) Swift Salian 28/1, Won at Doncaster in September. Off 6 months/gelded, seventh of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to soft, 9/1) 54 days ago, taking strong hold. Could show more here. Made all at Doncaster last September but well held in both runs since; bit to prove.
11 10th (11) (300/1 -2043%) Swordplay	300 300/1(-2043%)	(11) Swordplay 300/1, Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 18/1) on return 33 days ago, never nearer. Up in trip. Looks worth a try at this new trip but he's now 1-8 and others are more convincing.
12 11th (12) (350/1 -2088%) East Bank	350 350/1(-2088%)	(12) East Bank 350/1, Back to form stepped up to 7f when winning at Newcastle in March and did very well under the circumstances when runner-up at Musselburgh in May. 14/1, seventeenth of 19 in handicap at York (7f, good) 20 days ago, another to do too much too soon. Stall 13 to overcome. Dual winner but he's not easy to predict and was beaten 15l at York last time.

17:10 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A competitive race in which plenty have chances, so only a tentative vote can go to TREASURE TIME, who can progress now sent handicapping off a seemingly workable opening mark of 77. Mai Dubai shaped as if he may improve for his return at Newmarket last month and he could do better with that outing under his belt, while Operate is another runner who needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort last time but he looks capable of getting involved from stall one.

BULMER BANK ran well when third from off a strong pace at York 3 weeks ago and gets the vote from the same mark with a similar scenario likely to unfold here. Treasure Time is a likely improver now handicapping and is a danger, while Native King is also interesting now pitched into a handicap by his new local trainer.

Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to BULMER BANK after an eyecatching run at York three weeks ago.

17:15 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
12 (12) (13/2 -86%) Jaxonne	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(12) Jaxonne 13/2, Landed a gamble at Ludlow (21.2f) but failed to follow up on heavy ground at Southwell 23 days ago having travelled strongly long way. Well worth another chance under these less testing conditions. Ludlow good-ground scorer; 6lb higher again than when held at Southwell latest (soft).
11 1st (11) (6/1 +45%) Spot On Soph	6 6/1(+45%)	(11) Spot On Soph 6/1, Course winner who recorded a creditable third of 7 in handicap at Cartmel (17.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago. This longer trip rates a big plus so she's in the picture. 1-19 over hurdles (won here) and 15lb above her winning mark, but back to form latest.
7 2nd (7) (3/1 -50%) Finn Lough	3 3/1(-50%)	(7) Finn Lough 3/1, Successful sole start between the flags and he took a big step forward after breathing surgery on his handicap debut when runner-up at Stratford (2m3f) in April. Has more to offer and can go one better here. Better upped to nearly 2m4f at Stratford latest (good to soft); up 4lb but shortlisted.
1 3rd (1) (10/1 -67%) Charles St	10 10/1(-67%)	(1) Charles St 10/1, Unreliable type overall but he posted a good second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. This C&D winner needs considering. C&D scorer off 3lb lower in November (good to soft), and back to near best last time out.
10 4th (10) (20/1 +20%) Skip Mahler	20 20/1(+20%)	(10) Skip Mahler 20/1, Got back on track for his new yard when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 19 days ago. No forlorn hope now back up in trip. Still no wriggle room off this mark despite 1lb drop, but sharp clockwise track will suit.
2 5th (2) (16/1 +0%) Could Be Trouble	16 16/1(+0%)	(2) Could Be Trouble 16/1, Got back on track when sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f, good to soft) 28 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. In the mix off a 2 lb lower mark. Easiest task for a few races, though needs to show more than she has in defeat of late.
9 6th (9) (10/1 +29%) Queen Antoinette	10 10/1(+29%)	(9) Queen Antoinette 10/1, Hurdles debut winner at Bangor in October and shaped encouragingly when sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Ffos Las (20f, good) 30 days ago. Possibilities. 6l sixth on last month's handicap debut (2m4f), just her third start; won't mind any rain.
5 7th (5) (11/1 +21%) Lone Star	11 11/1(+21%)	(5) Lone Star 11/1, Ran one of her better races whilst having her stamina stretched when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (25.8f, soft) 19 days ago. Considered back in trip. Last two wins gained over 2m4f on good to soft around similar Musselburgh; not ruled out.
3 8th (3) (22/1 +33%) Not What It Seems	22 22/1(+33%)	(3) Not What It Seems 22/1, Winless since 2022 and he came in only fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Needs to take a step forward. Still to win a handicap, but back down in grade and mark is at its lowest since May 2022.
8 9th (8) (12/1 -71%) Mcgowan's Pass	12 12/1(-71%)	(8) Mcgowan's Pass 12/1, Ended a long losing run in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) 19 days ago. Suited by the way race developed there so more is needed from 4 lb higher mark. Last-time success (2m4f, soft) was over four years in coming; place claims this time.
6 10th (6) (40/1 -100%) Mamoon Star	40 40/1(-100%)	(6) Mamoon Star 40/1, Made a winning hurdling debut in 2022 but largely below form since, well-held fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good) 32 days ago. Has work to do. Well handicapped on peak 2022-23 efforts, but unconvincing at this sort of trip so far.
4 \|PU\| (4) (66/1 -560%) Presenting Pete	66 66/1(-560%)	(4) Presenting Pete 66/1, Bagged 2m4f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter in August and returned to form when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good) in December. Not dismissed after 6 months off the track. Good-ground 2m4f scorer still 3lb above his last winning mark; mixed record fresh.

17:15 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Lightly-raced five-year-old FINN LOUGH has plenty of scope for progression and after his respectable second-placed finish on his handicap debut/first run after wind surgery at Stratford, a 4lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent him from going one better. Uttoxeter winner McGowan's Pass is capable of making this a tougher test for the selection, while Lone Star and Jaxonne are a couple of other strong contenders in this company.

FINN LOUGH appeals as the sort to really kick on now he's gone handicapping and he can build on his excellent Stratford runner-up effort and go one better. Jaxonne also looks to have better days ahead of him and rates a big threat now he is away from the mud after his strong-travelling Southwell second. Could Be Trouble, Lone Star and Spot On Soph are others to consider in a competitive handicap.

Last-time handicap newcomers QUEEN ANTOINETTE (lowest mileage) and Finn Lough (longer trip) are taken to improve further.

17:25 Cork Maiden 5f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 (7) (5/2 -25%) Beatrix Power	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(7) Beatrix Power 5/2, Promising individual. Third of 18 in maiden (6/1) at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 9 days ago, clear of rest. Back down in trip. Booking of Foley a plus and she's shortlisted with likelihood of more to come. In the frame on all three starts, may not cope with less-exposed stablemate Desert Power.
2 (2) (20/1 +9%) Blue Balle	20 20/1(+9%)	(2) Blue Balle 20/1, Thrice-raced colt. First run since leaving David Dennis when sixth of 18 in maiden (66/1) at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Down in trip. Handicaps Likely to be more his bag. Not a bad run when sixth on seasonal debut at the Curragh but held by Beatrix Potter.
9 (9) (33/1 +0%) Green Valentine	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Green Valentine 33/1, Thrice-raced filly who showed first form making yard debut/after 8 months off when fourth of 7 in maiden (28/1) at Tipperary (5f, heavy) 17 days ago, headway 2f out and keeping on. Another who will likely be seen in a better light when tackling handicaps. Fourth in a seven-runner maiden at Tipperary, considerable improvement is required.
15 1st (15) (14/1 +13%) Zarra Ellis	14 14/1(+13%)	(15) Zarra Ellis 14/1, Lightly-raced filly. 7/1 and visored for 1st time, eleventh of 15 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6.1f, good to soft) 15 days ago, finding little. Two AW runs better than the form she has shown in two outings on turf, 5f may not be ideal.
8 2nd (8) (66/1 -32%) Crystal Luna	66 66/1(-32%)	(8) Crystal Luna 66/1, Once-raced filly. 11/1 and cheekpieces on, fifteenth of 17 in maiden at Navan (5f, good) on debut 27 days ago, hampered. Blinkered for 1st time but she's probably one for later on. Beaten a long way on debut at Navan, cheekpieces on then, exchanged for blinkers today.
3 3rd (3) (15/8 +6%) Desert Power	1.875 15/8(+6%)	(3) Desert Power 15/8, Slade Power gelding. Dam 5f winner. Second of 17 in maiden at Navan (5f, good, 22/1) on debut 27 days ago, still plenty to do 2f out and finishing well. Likely type to build on that and definite player here. Form of Navan second was franked by the winner Sturlasson at Epsom, holds a leading chance.
6 4th (6) (11/4 +39%) Abiding Star	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(6) Abiding Star 11/4, Lightly-raced filly. 11/2, shaped as if better for the run after 6 months off when respectable third of 17 in maiden at Navan (5f, good) 27 days ago. No surprise to see her thereabouts with that under her belt. Only 1/2l behind Desert Power at Navan but that less-exposed rival should uphold the form.
13 5th (13) (7/2 +50%) Pansy Poe	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(13) Pansy Poe 7/2, Lightly-raced filly. Below form eighth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good, 17/2) 21 days ago. Was previously steadily going the right way and feasible to think she can get back on track. Two good runs over this trip, did not seem to stay 6f at Navan three weeks ago.
10 6th (10) (13/2 +0%) Kay's Flower	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(10) Kay's Flower 13/2, Invincible Army filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Tomahawk Ridge and winner up to 5.4f Josies Kid. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner. Interesting newcomer. Half-sister to sprint winners, dam 5-7f winner, from a top yard; worth a market check..
1 7th (1) (80/1 -21%) An Laochmor	80 80/1(-21%)	(1) An Laochmor 80/1, Bungle Inthejungle gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 5f winner Daintree and 5f/6f winner Al Kibir. Dam thrice-raced half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Sciolina. Half-brother to his trainer's 5f AW handicap winner Daintree and to two winners in Italy.
12 8th (12) (40/1 +0%) Nans View	40 40/1(+0%)	(12) Nans View 40/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, left debut effort as a 2-y-o in her wake when seventh of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 55 days ago. Down in trip but handicaps entitled to be more her bag this term. Made a lot of the running before fading to finish seventh of 18 over 7f at the Curragh.
11 9th (11) (150/1 +25%) Marclaflo Diamond	150 150/1(+25%)	(11) Marclaflo Diamond 150/1, Lightly-raced filly. 125/1, twelfth of 15 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6.1f, good to soft) 15 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces on 1st time and shapes as though she's worth a try at this trip. Cheekpieces added on her first 5f attempt, would have a much better chance in a handicap.
4 10th (4) (200/1 +0%) Funny Face	200 200/1(+0%)	(4) Funny Face 200/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 80/1, sixth of 7 in maiden at Tipperary (5f, heavy) 17 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Nothing in his four maiden outings to suggest he could feature, gelded since his last run.
5 11th (5) (66/1 -200%) Turn And Burn	66 66/1(-200%)	(5) Turn And Burn 66/1, €55,000 yearling, Kodiac gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including smart British/US 6f-9f winner Hong Kong Harry and useful French 1m winner Body Sculpt. Dam French 2-y-o 1m winner. Makes some appeal on paper so worth a precautionary market check for clues on debut. Half-brother to five winners including smart American Grade 2 scorer Hong Kong Harry.
14 12th (14) (150/1 +0%) Soar Beyond	150 150/1(+0%)	(14) Soar Beyond 150/1, Thrice-raced filly. Ninth of 10 in maiden (125/1) at Limerick (6.7f, soft) 29 days ago, headed around 2f out and soon beaten. Can only be watched. From a leading stable, impossible to make a case for her in a maiden at this stage.

17:25 Cork Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Eddie Lynam holds a strong hand, saddling both DESERT POWER and Beatrix Power. Marginal preference is for the former with Ben Coen aboard. Out of three-time winner Miss Power, the selection ran a race full of promise on debut at Navan last month, coming home strongly to finish a never-nearer second. Beatrix Power is the highest rated of those with a mark and is a sister to seven-time winner Collective Power (runs in the next). The 80-rated bay was a solid third at the Curragh recently and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a few places better now. Placed twice from four starts, Pansy Poe is likely to have plenty of supporters, while others of interest are Zara Ellis and Abiding Star.

Eddie Lynam looks to hold a strong hand here with DESERT POWER and Beatrix Power. The former shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up on debut behind one who finished second in much stronger company next time and just about shades the vote. Abiding Star and Pansy Poe are others to consider.

Both Lynam-trained runners can be rated likely maiden winners. The once-raced DESERT POWER may have the measure of Beatrix Power

10 1st (10) (4/1 +11%) Alerta Maxima	4 4/1(+11%)	(10) Alerta Maxima 4/1, Promising type. 33/1, sixth of 12 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 20 days ago. Open to progress and likely to be involved. Deal of promise on her C&D debut; stable has been among the winners and she's shortlisted.
4 2nd (4) (16/1 -60%) Mollie Foster	16 16/1(-60%)	(4) Mollie Foster 16/1, Foaled February 13. €62,000 yearling, Acclamation filly. Sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Dance Acclaim. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Damour out of 1m winner Desabina. Interesting newcomer. Trainer enjoying a good season (5-13 with juveniles); worth tracking in the market.
3 3rd (3) (33/1 -175%) Mapledurham	33 33/1(-175%)	(3) Mapledurham 33/1, Twice-raced filly. 6/1, sixth of 14 in maiden at Leicester (6f, good) 10 days ago. Claims if she can get back to the form she showed on debut. Promising debut at a big price last month; might be in nurseries that she makes her mark.
7 4th (7) (6/1 +40%) Sea Emily Run	6 6/1(+40%)	(7) Sea Emily Run 6/1, Foaled March 27. 60,000 gns yearling, Too Darn Hot filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 7f Total Commitment and useful 2-y-o 7f winner Crystallium. 60,000gns yearling who's a half-sister to three 2yo winners; is an interesting newcomer.
2 5th (2) (50/1 -150%) Dear Cat	50 50/1(-150%)	(2) Dear Cat 50/1, Foaled March 12. €38,000 yearling, 60,000 gns 2-y-o, Churchill filly. Closely related to Italian 2-y-o 1m winner Jose and half-sister to French 9f winner Del Cielo. Very rare 2yo for her jumps-oriented yard; likely best watched.
13 6th (13) (66/1 -633%) Dollyana	66 66/1(-633%)	(13) Dollyana 66/1, Once-raced filly. 40/1, eighth of 15 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 25 days ago, not clear run. May well do better. Shaped well at a big price on her Windsor debut having hit traffic; enters calculations.
6 7th (6) (66/1 -100%) Moostar	66 66/1(-100%)	(6) Moostar 66/1, Once-raced filly. 80/1, seventh of 10 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good) on debut 27 days ago. Big price for her Newmarket debut last month; she'll need to improve a deal on that.
1 8th (1) (80/1 -1500%) Alondra	80 80/1(-1500%)	(1) Alondra 80/1, Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 12 in maiden (13/2) at Doncaster (6.5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Likely to have a bigger performance in her, so not dismissed. Said to have still been green when not seeing out 6.5f last time; capable of better.
11 9th (11) (100/1 -3536%) Lightning Force	100 100/1(-3536%)	(11) Lightning Force 100/1, Promising type. 11/1, second of 11 in minor event at Kempton (6f) on debut 23 days ago. Sets the standard with the scope for improvement, so makes plenty of appeal. Highly promising AW debut last month; obvious claims on that and is entitled to improve.
8 10th (8) (100/1 -614%) Silver Ghost	100 100/1(-614%)	(8) Silver Ghost 100/1, Foaled March 6. 40,000 gns yearling, Phoenix of Spain filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 1m winner Lodovico Il Moro and 6f-1m winner Wannacry. Dam winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f winner) Yard's first 2yo runner since 2020; likely best watched from the outside stall.
12 11th (12) (33/1 -106%) Perfect Parole	33 33/1(-106%)	(12) Perfect Parole 33/1, Foaled March 6. 26,000 gns yearling, Without Parole filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1m Sarban and 7f winner Perfect Thunder. Stable not noted for 2yos (0-15 with them here) and could certainly be in better form.
9 12th (9) (100/1 -525%) Telford	100 100/1(-525%)	(9) Telford 100/1, Foaled April 6. 55,000 gns yearling, Mohaather filly. Closely related to 2-y-o 6f winner Project Black and half-sister to 3 winners, including winner up to 5.7f Union Rose. Dam unraced. Half-sister to four winning 2yos who holds a Super Sprint entry next month; market useful.

Dam maiden (stayed 5.5f), half-sister to useful winner up to 9f Wovoka. Stable's newcomers have gone well this year. 38,000gns yearling; trainer boasts a poor record with 2yos here down the years (3-73).

17:30 Goodwood Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LIGHTNING FORCE came within a whisker of making a successful start to her career at Kempton, pipped by a filly who went on to make the frame in the Hilary Needler. Ollie Sangster's youngster should step forward appreciably and can gain compensation for that near-miss. Mapledurham may not have quite matched the level of her Newbury debut when sixth at Leicester but is still a force to be reckoned with, as is Alerta Maxima, who caught the eye here. Alondra isn't out of it either.

LIGHTNING FORCE made a highly encouraging start when runner-up at Kempton last month and might not need to improve to go one better for all that there are some interesting newcomers in opposition, notably Mollie Foster. Alerta Maxima is a definite player on the back of a promising start over C&D.

With her Kempton debut second given a boost last weekend, LIGHTNING FORCE is taken to see off Alerta Maxima and Dollyana.

3 (3) (5/6 +17%) Seeyouinmydreams	0.833333 5/6(+17%)	(3) Seeyouinmydreams 5/6, Bumper winner who shaped as if amiss fitted with a tongue strap when pulled up in a novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) on debut in this sphere in November. Had another wind op and fitted with a hood, she essentially outclassed 7 rivals at Fakenham last month, unchallenged. Ready 25l success at Fakenham latest; big player under her penalty, back down in trip..
5 (5) (100/1 +0%) Azamhan	100 100/1(+0%)	(5) Azamhan 100/1, Fair 1¼m winner on Flat in France, little show for current yard. Hurdles debut. Has beaten just one opponent in five Flat starts since joining current trainer..
12 1st (12) (12/1 +0%) Dame Sarra	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) Dame Sarra 12/1, Modest winner at up to 1¾m on the Flat for Ed Dunlop. Had a breathing op and ran to a similar level when 15 lengths second on Warwick hurdle debut for new last month. 14l second in a mares' event at Warwick (2m, good) on debut last month; each-way claims..
1 2nd (1) (8/11 +82%) Hard As Nails	0.727273 8/11(+82%)	(1) Hard As Nails 8/11, Dual bumper winner who went with plenty of zest when making third hurdles start a winning one in uncomplicated fashion at Southwell 3 weeks ago. Bare form nothing out of the ordinary but she can improve on that. Penalised for easy win now back in novices' company; acts on a sound surface; player..
9 3rd (9) (33/1 -175%) Hurst Hill	33 33/1(-175%)	(9) Hurst Hill 33/1, Unplaced in a couple of point bumpers and looked badly in need of the experience on her hurdling debut at Fontwell (17.7f, good). Clearly derived plenty from that as she showed a lot more when third over C&D 16 days ago. Third in a similar C&D event (soft) last month; could me more to come; each-way player..
6 4th (6) (66/1 -100%) Belle Montrose	66 66/1(-100%)	(6) Belle Montrose 66/1, £28,000 buy after finishing runner-up on her sole start in Irish points. Progressive form in bumpers, albeit at a fairly modest level. Improving and can probably pick up a race but others are preferred on her hurdling debut..
8 5th (8) (400/1 -506%) Hallowed Rose	400 400/1(-506%)	(8) Hallowed Rose 400/1, Failed to win in points and no real impact over hurdles last month. Cheekpieces removed. 0-2 under rules; made minor improvement from first start to second but much more needed..
2 6th (2) (100/1 -3900%) Parkin Fine	100 100/1(-3900%)	(2) Parkin Fine 100/1, Promising return from a long absence when second on 2m Huntingdon hurdles debut in November and cast aside a couple of lesser efforts when off the mark at Southwell 3 weeks ago, heavily eased down having mastered the favourite. That puts her firmly in the mix. Wide margin win latest, when market rivals failed to complete; contender under a penalty..
4 7th (4) (450/1 -2713%) Auntie Maggie	450 450/1(-2713%)	(4) Auntie Maggie 450/1, Third sole start in Irish points (Mar 3) and showed more than she did on hurdles debut when third of 9 at Bangor a month ago. Still looks one for further down the line, though. Needs to step up on her Bangor third (2m, good) but not ruled out each-way..
14 8th (14) (350/1 -600%) Pure Gold	350 350/1(-600%)	(14) Pure Gold 350/1, Fair handicapper at best on Flat, barely stays 1½m, well below form last 2 starts. Sold from David Menuisier 1,000 gns in October but opening hurdles effort 2 months later wasn't devoid of promise. May appreciate better ground but needs to raise the bar significantly to get involved..
10 9th (10) (450/1 -800%) Mutley Crew	450 450/1(-800%)	(10) Mutley Crew 450/1, Fourth foal, dam ran twice on Flat. Fourth foal; dam unplaced 1m2f/1m4f AW (RPR 68); probably best watched on debut..
7 \|U\| (7) (250/1 -213%) Gentoo	250 250/1(-213%)	(7) Gentoo 250/1, Fifth foal, dam ran twice on Flat. Never involved on April's debut. Always behind at Chepstow (2m3f, good); drops in trip; much more needed..
13 \|U\| (13) (450/1 -2150%) Dawn Parade	450 450/1(-2150%)	(13) Dawn Parade 450/1, Soldier of Fortune filly. Dam bumper/fairly useful 17f-21f hurdle winner (stayed 25f) for connections. In top hands but didn't show much in a bumper at Huntingdon last month. Never involved in her debut bumper; dam won over hurdles; can improve now switching..
11 \|PU\| (11) (450/1 -125%) Brief Encounter	450 450/1(-125%)	(11) Brief Encounter 450/1, Well held both starts in bumpers. Well beaten in bumpers at Ludlow and Exeter; watching brief advised on hurdles debut..

17:35 Newton Abbot Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Things haven't gone to plan for SEEYOUINMYDREAMS since her costly purchase from the pointing field and sparkling bumper debut at Newbury in March 2023, but she showed there is still time to fulfil her potential when toying with the opposition on her Fakenham comeback. The victory will have boosted her confidence and she can take the next step back up the ladder. Parkin Fine was an equally facile winner last time, thanks in no small part to the odds-on favourite pulling up. She is still a danger, although the consistent Hard As Nails might be a bigger threat.

SEEYOUINMYDREAMS doesn't have a totally convincing profile, but she settled a little better with a hood fitted when an easy winner at Fakenham, and with this drop back in trip likely to help if anything, she can follow up. Fellow last-time-out winners Parkin Fine and Hard As Nails are the obvious threats.

The clear pick on form is SEEYOUINMYDREAMS, who proved her wellbeing emphatically last time and is taken to follow up.

17:40 Fairyhouse Handicap 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 (3) (7/2 +0%) Heavenly Power	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(3) Heavenly Power 7/2, 15/2, respectable sixth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good) 21 days ago. This is slightly easier. Second start back at the Curragh was more encouraging but needs to step forward again here.
5 (5) (11/4 +0%) Mercurial	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(5) Mercurial 11/4, 9/1, career best when winning 21-runner handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 55 days ago, pushed out. Bold follow-up bid is on the cards. Curragh winner in April up 8lb for that however and ideally wants it softer.
8 1st (8) (13/2 +46%) Universally	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(8) Universally 13/2, C&D winner. 13/2, creditable seventh of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (7f, good) 14 days ago. Blinkers back on. C&D winner off 10lb lower last term; mark remains on the high side but can't rule out.
4 2nd (4) (22/1 -57%) Tawaazon	22 22/1(-57%)	(4) Tawaazon 22/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap (25/1) at Navan (5f, good) 6 days ago. Needs to step up on that. Yet to hit form this campaign but down 7lb so could be approaching a competitive mark.
2 3rd (2) (11/1 +8%) Pink Sorrel	11 11/1(+8%)	(2) Pink Sorrel 11/1, Sixteenth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good, 20/1) 21 days ago. May have needed that and this is a weaker race. Best form is over further so opposable here.
1 4th (1) (5/2 +38%) Apache Outlaw	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(1) Apache Outlaw 5/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Dundalk in March. Creditable ninth of 17 in handicap (12/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) 21 days ago. Shortlist material eased in class. AW winner has looked held by handicapper on turf of late; down 3lb now so don't rule out.
7 5th (7) (3/1 +40%) Rathbranchurch	3 3/1(+40%)	(7) Rathbranchurch 3/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. 14/1, good second of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Can make presence felt. Solid form in defeat of late; 3lb rise but best least questions of these; big player.
6 6th (6) (11/4 +58%) Rough Diamond	2.75 11/4(+58%)	(6) Rough Diamond 11/4, Creditable eighth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good, 12/1) 21 days ago. Falling in the weights without really looking ready to strike. Not beaten too far on latest; senior rider takes over here so not one to readily rule out.

17:40 Fairyhouse Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The John Nallen-trained MERCURIAL looks well drawn to make a bold bid from the front here. Rated in the mid-80's when trained in Britain, the five-year-old should still have a bit in hand off a mark of 77. Robert Whearty, who was in the saddle when the gelding won at the Curragh last time, also claims a valuable 5lb. Heavenly Power was well beaten in that Curragh race, but ran much better in a premier handicap at that same venue subsequently. The Eddie Lynam-trained gelding should be at his peak now after two recent outings. C&D winner Apache Outlaw is another with claims in what is a competitive handicap, despite the small field.

A case of sorts can be made for most of these, with APACHE OUTLAW just about the most persuasive dropped in class. Mercurial was better than ever last time so is second choice, ahead of Rathbranchchurch.

Second to a well-handicapped winner at the Curragh RATHBRANCHURCH can gain a deserved second career win

4 1st (4) (100/1 -52%) Play Pretend	100 100/1(-52%)	(4) Play Pretend 100/1, Related to a couple of hurdle winners but a watching brief is advised on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Unraced for K. Philippart De Foy; half-brother to two jumps winners (2m hurdle-3m chase)..
7 2nd (7) (50/1 -1011%) Trafalgar Square	50 50/1(-1011%)	(7) Trafalgar Square 50/1, Fair maiden at up to 1½m on the Flat and should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this if taking to his new discipline. Rated 76 on the Flat when third in a Newcastle nursery (1m) last October; hurdles debut..
2 3rd (2) (66/1 -32%) Kalkaroo	66 66/1(-32%)	(2) Kalkaroo 66/1, Sent off at 100/1 when well held only start on Flat for Paul Webber last summer. Has been gelded ahead of hurdle debut. Slowly away on sole Flat start; gelded and with a new trainer for hurdles debut..
5 4th (5) (50/1 -1150%) Smooth Transition	50 50/1(-1150%)	(5) Smooth Transition 50/1, Fair form in 3 outings on the Flat, finishing third in a 1m Thirsk maiden on his reappearance a week ago. Shrewd stable wastes no time switching him to hurdles. Consistent on the Flat (0-3); respectable third in 1m Thirsk maiden last week; noteworthy..
9 5th (9) (50/1 -1329%) Kaaress	50 50/1(-1329%)	(9) Kaaress 50/1, Four-time Flat winner at up to 1¼m and went very close to striking on her first attempt over hurdles at Hexham (2m, soft) 13 days ago, going down by a nose to the reopposing On The Bubble. 7 lb better off with Ben Haslam's filly this time. Just touched off by On The Bubble at Hexham (2m, soft) a fortnight ago; 7lb better off..
8 6th (8) (80/1 -1500%) Happy Place	80 80/1(-1500%)	(8) Happy Place 80/1, Reached the frame in Flat maidens at up to 1m for Harry Eustace last autumn and has joined a leading stable ahead of this switch to hurdles. Player. Runner-up in a 7f Brighton maiden last September; since joined Dan Skelton for 20,000gns..
12 7th (12) (66/1 -313%) Scottie's Sister	66 66/1(-313%)	(12) Scottie's Sister 66/1, Poor form in 3 outings over 7f on the Flat last autumn. Probably best watched now hurdling unless the betting vibes are strong. Underwhelming on Flat (0-3); stable/hurdles debut; half-sister to a 1m7f hurdles winner..
3 8th (3) (100/1 -1718%) On The Bubble	100 100/1(-1718%)	(3) On The Bubble 100/1, 1m Flat winner at Redcar this spring and edged out the reopposing Kaaress when making a successful start over hurdles at Hexham (2m, soft) 13 days ago. 7 lb worse off Kaaress this time. Won on hurdles debut at Hexham (2m, soft), beating Kaaress & Bajan New Moon; penalised..
6 9th (6) (100/1 -733%) Tactical Control	100 100/1(-733%)	(6) Tactical Control 100/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 8.5f), creditable fifth at Nottingham last month. Respected hurdle newcomer. Eight-race Flat maiden; little from pedigree to think switch to hurdles is a positive move.
11 \|F\| (11) (5/2 +69%) Opec	2.5 5/2(+69%)	(11) Opec 5/2, Modest maiden on the Flat but still no surprise were she up to making an impact over hurdles for a stable which has enjoyed juvenile success in these silks. Failed to progress on Flat (0-5); sister to smart jumps winner Allmankind; interesting..
1 \|PU\| (1) (100/1 -733%) Bajan New Moon	100 100/1(-733%)	(1) Bajan New Moon 100/1, Offered little in 3 Flat runs for David Evans last year but took to hurdling when 1¼ lengths third of 5 to reopposing pair On The Bubble and Kaaress at Hexham (2m, soft) 13 days ago. Beaten just over a length by On The Bubble & Kaaress at Hexham (2m, soft) a fortnight ago..

17:50 Market Rasen Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Happy Place is in the right hands to make progress now she has switched codes and is one to monitor closely in the betting on her debut for Dan Skelton. Similar comments apply to Smooth Transition and Trafalgar Square. However, just a nose separated On The Bubble and KAARESS at Hexham 13 days ago and although the former edged the verdict that day, Ollie Pears' filly has a 7lb pull at the weights and can draw on the experience to turn the form around.

A chance is taken on Dan Skelton hurdle debutante HAPPY PLACE, who was placed on the Flat last year for her previous stable. Smooth Transition and Tactical Control are other likely types among the hurdle newcomers, while Kaaress may prove best of the 4 who contested the opening juvenile hurdle of the season at Hexham at the start of the month.

Ollie Pears usually has his well schooled, so it was surprising to see KAARESS novicey at Hexham. She rates as the tentative selection.

17:58 Cork Handicap 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (6/1 +40%) Bold Optimist	6 6/1(+40%)	(7) Bold Optimist 6/1, Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, fifteenth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Back down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Satisfactory effort over 5f at Naas, did not seem to stay extended 6f at the Curragh.
5 2nd (5) (11/1 -10%) Ostraka	11 11/1(-10%)	(5) Ostraka 11/1, Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 9/1). Off 147 days. First run for yard after leaving Mick Halford & Tracey Collins. 50-1 maiden winner on debut last season, appears vulnerable on subsequent form, new yard.
2 3rd (2) (4/1 +27%) Collective Power	4 4/1(+27%)	(2) Collective Power 4/1, Course winner. Bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 46 days ago. Billy Lee takes over in the saddle from a 7 lb claimer. Winner of seven races and a generally dependable sort, drops in class after Naas sixth.
3 4th (3) (3/1 -20%) Sevensees	3 3/1(-20%)	(3) Sevensees 3/1, 8/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Tipperary (5f, heavy) 17 days ago by 3¾ lengths from Sporting Hero. Stable in good form. Should go well again. Beat Sporting Hero decisively at Tipperary, up 10lb but can remain competitive.
8 5th (8) (4/1 +43%) Mymomentintime	4 4/1(+43%)	(8) Mymomentintime 4/1, Eighth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at the Curragh (5f, heavy) 54 days ago. Is 1-17, only one pound out of the handicap but others have stronger credentials.
6 6th (6) (12/1 -20%) Alpha Cephei	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Alpha Cephei 12/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago, slowly away. Visor on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for. Third of six over C&D on seasonal debut, slowly away and never involved at the Curragh.
4 7th (4) (11/1 -144%) Sporting Hero	11 11/1(-144%)	(4) Sporting Hero 11/1, Creditable 3¾ lengths second of 10 to Sevensees in handicap (12/1) at Tipperary (5f, heavy) 17 days ago, no match for winner. Cheekpieces back on. Enters calculations. No match for the front-running Sevensees at Tipperary, 7lb better off now, could go close.
1 8th (1) (22/1 -450%) Jered Maddox	22 22/1(-450%)	(1) Jered Maddox 22/1, Arrives after back-to-back wins on Dundalk's AW this spring but he's another 10 lb higher now back on turf. Back in form when recording two Dundalk wins in April, vulnerable on overall turf form.

17:58 Cork Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SEVENSEES really put his rivals to the sword at Tipperary last month and despite an 11lb rise, he looks capable of following up. The Sea The Moon four-year-old appears to be as his best over the minimum trip and will again be ridden by young apprentice Rory Mulligan who claims a valuable 7lb. Collective Power and Jered Maddox have won 16 races between them and will undoubtedly have their supporters. The former has a course win to his name, while the latter is bidding to complete a hat-trick, with his last two victories coming at Dundalk. David Marnane trains Jered Maddox and is also represented by Alpha Cephei. While a notoriously slow starter, he is tried in a visor for the first time now and it'll be interesting to see how he fares. Curragh maiden winner Ostraka appears the most interesting of the remainder, as she starts off for Danny Murphy.

SEVENSEES was much improved when easily accounting for Sporting Hero at Tipperary 17 days ago and can confirm his superiority over Denis Hogan's charge. The Billy Lee-ridden Collective Power may prove best of the rest.

Better ground should help former British-trained AW winner SPORTING HERO in his bid to reverse Tipperary form with Sevensees

18:05 Goodwood Handicap (Class 5) 10f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
13 1st (13) (25/1 -56%) Our Papa Smurf	25 25/1(-56%)	(13) Our Papa Smurf 25/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap (11/4) at Bath (10.2f, good) 30 days ago. Kicked by a rival at the start that day, so probably best to overlook that run and was a good second at Brighton on return. Brighton second has been let down and this is tougher against some less-exposed rivals.
1 2nd (1) (28/1 -12%) Blue Collar	28 28/1(-12%)	(1) Blue Collar 28/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 16/1) 27 days ago, missing break. Hopes pinned on the first-time blinkers sparking improvement. Ran poorly on his comeback; first-time headgear is the main angle in with him.
7 3rd (7) (9/2 -13%) Papagei	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(7) Papagei 9/2, Winner at Yarmouth in April. Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap off this 3 lb higher mark at Newbury (10f, good, 11/2) 28 days ago. Should make his presence felt. Didn't lead when inclined to pull hard off a steady gallop last time; is one to consider.
8 4th (8) (40/1 +0%) Secret Beach	40 40/1(+0%)	(8) Secret Beach 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in maiden at Yarmouth (8f, good, 66/1) 45 days ago. Up in trip and tongue strap on 1st time for this handicap debut. Has work to do. Half-brother to four winners; it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market.
10 5th (10) (80/1 -700%) Breckenridge	80 80/1(-700%)	(10) Breckenridge 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 7 in maiden (25/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 36 days ago. Improvement could be forthcoming now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Hard to know what she achieved on Polytrack last time; the stiffer test should suit though.
3 5th (3) (100/1 -733%) Daymer Bay	100 100/1(-733%)	(3) Daymer Bay 100/1, 5/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (8f, heavy) 42 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Back up in trip and he needs to find a bit of improvement from somewhere. Comfortably held in two handicaps in the spring and others make greater appeal.
12 7th (12) (33/1 -633%) Myna	33 33/1(-633%)	(12) Myna 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, very good second of 13 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) 28 days ago. 3 lb rise fair enough and he's high on the shortlist. Solid comeback from wind surgery; a 3lb rise looks fair for a yard among the winners.
2 8th (2) (80/1 -471%) Commander Crouch	80 80/1(-471%)	(2) Commander Crouch 80/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Epsom (10.1f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Now tried in cheekpieces and, unless the new headgear precipitates a step forward, he looks set for another struggle. Struggled this season; given a try in first-time headgear on his second crack at this trip.
9 9th (9) (100/1 -3233%) Geliceaux	100 100/1(-3233%)	(9) Geliceaux 100/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good) 20 days ago, slowly away. 4 lb rise fair enough and she has to enter calculations. Could well be more to come for a yard in good form, so holds decent claims upped 4lb.
11 10th (11) (100/1 -525%) Fram Castle	100 100/1(-525%)	(11) Fram Castle 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 11 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f, 18/1). Off 161 days and it wouldn't be much of a surprise were he to up his game now faced with a stiffer test on this handicap/yard debut. Gelded ahead of tonight's turf/handicap debut and market support would be interesting.
4 11th (4) (100/1 -525%) War Director	100 100/1(-525%)	(4) War Director 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 5 in handicap (10/1) at Salisbury (12f, heavy) 29 days ago. Others make more appeal. Pulled hard on his handicap debut having been gelded; is worth tracking in the market.
5 12th (5) (66/1 -450%) Toronto Raptor	66 66/1(-450%)	(5) Toronto Raptor 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 22/1) 72 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Up in trip and cheekpieces enlisted for this handicap debut. One to note in the betting. Has been gelded and sports headgear now upped in trip on his handicap debut; market useful.
6 13th (6) (100/1 -1438%) Unreal Connection	100 100/1(-1438%)	(6) Unreal Connection 100/1, Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (10f, good to firm, 11/1) 34 days ago. Down another 2 lb and shouldn't be far away but she nevertheless looks vulnerable for win purposes. Didn't improve for going up to this trip last time; is more exposed than a number of these.

18:05 Goodwood Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Geliceaux responded well to George Downing's urgings to make a successful handicap debut at Salisbury and has every chance of following up off a 4lb higher mark. However, MYNA went out on her shield on her own handicap bow, going down by just a short head at Newbury, and that form may be slightly stronger. Papagei wasn't far away in sixth and could close the gap while, of the handicap newcomers this time, Toronto Raptor might be worth a look with cheekpieces applied.

MYNA was just touched off upped to this trip on his reappearance/handicap debut at Newbury and, with the likelihood of better to come, he is taken to go one better here. Geliceaux also improved on her first run over this trip/in handicap company when scoring at Salisbury and she looks a big threat. Papagei is shortlisted, too, while Breckenridge and Fram Castle both bring potential to the table now venturing down the handicap route.

Having gone down narrowly on his return from wind surgery, MYNA gets the nod upped a fair 3lb. Geliceaux is feared most.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (4/1 +60%) Issuing Authority	4 4/1(+60%)	(4) Issuing Authority 4/1, Bumper winner who showed fairly useful form when placed all 4 starts in maiden/novice hurdles last season. Comfortably accounted for his 2 rivals in a maiden chase at Haydock (16.3f, heavy) in the run-up to Christmas but has proved rather disappointing since. Finished weakly at Cartmel last month but may still have potential over fences.
3 (3) (15/8 +16%) Matterhorn	1.875 15/8(+16%)	(3) Matterhorn 15/8, Defied a penalty in fine style following his third breathing operation and a 7-month break in a Taunton novice hurdle in November and made a successful chasing debut at Ludlow (2m, good to firm) last month, outclassing his sole inferior rival. Engaged 6.20 Worcester Thursday. Quickened clear at Worcester last night and is now 2-2 over fences; carries 7lb penalty.
6 1st (6) (7/1 +7%) No Getaway	7 7/1(+7%)	(6) No Getaway 7/1, Returned to form when landing a small-field hunter chase here last May and has resumed from a break with decent efforts in that sphere, third on return at Kempton in April before departing at the sixth-last (travelling well at the time) back here (21f, soft) recently. Not discounted. Ran quite well in a hunter chase in April; back in a handicap on realistic mark.
7 2nd (7) (11/1 +67%) Only Money	11 11/1(+67%)	(7) Only Money 11/1, Bumper/4-time winner over fences (at around 2m) but restricted to just 3 runs in 2023 (disappointing on each occasion) and didn't show much on return at Southwell last month. Down to a dangerous mark but looks risky all the same. Did not hit top gear during light campaign last season and was well beaten last month.
1 3rd (1) (33/1 -1100%) Sacre Coeur	33 33/1(-1100%)	(1) Sacre Coeur 33/1, Front-runner who won 3 times over fences last year, the latest a 4-runner Ludlow handicap (2m, soft). Shade below par at Bangor last time but had previously put in a good shift when second at Cheltenham, and a reproduction of that would put her firmly in the picture. Keen-going front-runner; didn't fire last time but has claims if judged on penultimate run.
8 4th (8) (125/1 -1463%) Kauto The King	125 125/1(-1463%)	(8) Kauto The King 125/1, Not the most genuine but he has won here 4 times, most recently over C&D off 4 lb higher in September. Clear of the rest when second in a 4-runner affair at Hereford back from a break 3 weeks ago and capable of getting involved, albeit Brendan Powell prefers War Lord. Gained four of his nine chase wins at this track; ran well last month, after a break.
2 \|U\| (2) (350/1 -12627%) War Lord	350 350/1(-12627%)	(2) War Lord 350/1, Struggled in this sphere following creditable reappearance in the Haldon Gold Cup but his mark has tumbled as a result (now 17 lb lower in the weights compared to that day at Exeter) and he performed well over hurdles here last week. One to consider. Lost way over fences last season but seemed to have turned a corner over hurdles last week.
5 \|PU\| (5) (300/1 -500%) L'impertinent	300 300/1(-500%)	(5) L'impertinent 300/1, Fairly useful hurdle/chase winner for Enda Bolger in 2022 but well held when fourth on his completed start in handicap chases for Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero. Wasn't beaten far when fourth of 9 over hurdles at Fakenham last time but that was in selling company. Debut for new yard. Fourth in selling handicap hurdle last month; faces much tougher task on this stable debut.

18:10 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

WAR LORD had been on something of a downward spiral since making the frame in the Haldon Gold Cup, but last week's third over hurdles here will have helped get him back on track and he can build on that now reverting to fences. Sacre Coeur didn't show her true colours at Bangor, but is now back to the mark of her previous Cheltenham second. Issuing Authority is also better than he showed on his latest appearance, while Kauto The King returned with a pleasing Hereford performance. Matterhorn is an obvious contender if turning up after Thursday's Worcester engagement.

WAR LORD has tumbled down the weights and, judged on his recent effort over hurdles here, he looks ready to take advantage of the handicapper's assistance. No Getaway could be the main danger, though Sacre Coeur could make a bold bid from the front and the selection's stablemate Kauto The King will also have a chance if on a 'going' day.

Four-time course winner KAUTO THE KING has slipped to an attractive mark and ran well in defeat last month, after a break.

Good second of 18 in handicap (11/1) at this course (6.1f, good to soft) 15 days ago, clear of rest. In the picture once more. Recent C&D second her best run yet; 4lb higher now but has her chance.
5 2nd (5) (4/1 +33%) Eruption	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) Eruption 4/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Sligo in May. 12/1, good second of 16 in handicap at Navan (5f, good) 6 days ago. Not taken lightly. Improving mare now 11lb higher than when winning Sligo claimer two starts back; contender.

14 6th (14) (9/1 +0%) My Girl Sioux	9 9/1(+0%)	(14) My Girl Sioux 9/1, Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs. 12/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Navan (5f, good) 6 days ago. Disappointed in headgear (now discarded) 6 days ago; on a competitive mark but exposed.
9 7th (9) (9/1 -80%) Havana Notion	9 9/1(-80%)	(9) Havana Notion 9/1, Respectable ninth of 16 in handicap at Navan (5f, good, 9/1) 6 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Bit to find with Eruption on recent Navan run but can't rule out.
18 8th (18) (28/1 -40%) Stopitnowjulia	28 28/1(-40%)	(18) Stopitnowjulia 28/1, 20/1 and hooded for 1st time, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (5f, good) 14 days ago. One for the shortlist. Didn't run too badly on turf return at Down Royal; good bit to find all the same.
12 9th (12) (7/1 -8%) Layoftheland	7 7/1(-8%)	(12) Layoftheland 7/1, Creditable third of 11 in handicap (evens) at this course (6.1f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Merits consideration. Possibly came too soon when C&D third latest; one to consider.
7 10th (7) (8/1 +20%) Rebecca's Girl	8 8/1(+20%)	(7) Rebecca's Girl 8/1, Visored for 1st time, below form fifth of 18 in handicap at this course (6.1f, good to soft, 14/1) 15 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time with more needed. Mildly more encouraging over C&D latest when visor tried; will appreciate rain.
10 11th (10) (40/1 -60%) Butterfly Bush	40 40/1(-60%)	(10) Butterfly Bush 40/1, Last of 18 in handicap at this course (7f, good to soft, 22/1) 15 days ago so needs to get back on track. Respectable effort in Roscommon claimer but recent run here (7f) was tame.
6 12th (6) (14/1 -40%) Luxury Island	14 14/1(-40%)	(6) Luxury Island 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, fifth of 15 in maiden at this course (6.1f, good to soft) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Makes handicap debut. Should progress. Unexposed 3yo denied clear run in C&D maiden latest; likely more to offer on handicap bow.
4 13th (4) (40/1 -21%) Wayside Lady	40 40/1(-21%)	(4) Wayside Lady 40/1, 50/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f). Off 154 days. First run for yard after leaving C. W. J. Farrell. Enters calculations if back on her A-game. Yet to trouble judge on both AW and turf; first start for new yard and best watched.
2 14th (2) (28/1 +44%) Hernes Hill	28 28/1(+44%)	(2) Hernes Hill 28/1, 33/1, last of 17 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving John McConnell. Hooded for 1st time. Hooded on debut for very capable new handler, not one to dismiss off a much reduced mark.
15 15th (15) (66/1 -65%) Florence Thompson	66 66/1(-65%)	(15) Florence Thompson 66/1, Remains a maiden after 52 Flat runs. 80/1, last of 16 in handicap at Navan (5f, good) 6 days ago, slowly away. Longstanding maiden remains opposable from 3lb out of handicap.
13 16th (13) (28/1 +15%) Only A Star	28 28/1(+15%)	(13) Only A Star 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good, 80/1) 27 days ago. Others appeal more. Entitled to have come on from last month's return but lightly-raced 4yo may need more time.
17 17th (17) (33/1 +34%) Pearl Of Cotai	33 33/1(+34%)	(17) Pearl Of Cotai 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, eleventh of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) 70 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Unexposed 4yo on handicap debut; hard to assess so market probably best guide.

18:15 Fairyhouse Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Runner-up over C&D last month, AURORA NOVA can go one better now. The Andrew McNamara-trained mare didn't get the clearest of passages on the inside rail on that occasion, so being drawn wider in stall 14 may actually work to her advantage. Sligo claimer winner Eruption reverted to handicap company with a solid second at Navan recently. Matthew Smith has his dual-purpose string in excellent form at the present time, so another big run would be no surprise. Layoftheland has a wide draw to overcome, but has been running solidly in this grade of late. She has to hold every chance for rookie trainer Sean Davis.

SHOEBOX KING signalled he is ready to end his losing run when a very good fourth at Tipperary last time out and can capitalise on a 2 lb lower mark here. Eruption could emerge as the main danger on the back of her good Navan second, with Aurora Nova, Layoftheland and Havana Notion also in the mix.

ERUPTION has been improving steadily of late on decent ground and could have another one in her now back to 6f

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (11/1 +45%) Mikhailovich	11 11/1(+45%)	(5) Mikhailovich 11/1, A fairly useful winner over hurdles at Huntingdon in October but pulled up at Taunton (19f, good) 51 days ago. Needs to get back on track now going chasing. Pulled up at Taunton two months ago; switches to fences with enough to prove at present..
2 2nd (2) (7/2 -100%) Leading Force	3.5 7/2(-100%)	(2) Leading Force 7/2, Got off the mark with cheekpieces on for 1st time in 9-runner handicap chase at Sedgefield (21.1f, good) 35 days ago. Up 5 lb but not taken lightly with headgear again sported. Off the mark at the third attempt over fences (in cheekpieces) at Sedgefield; 5lb higher..
4 3rd (4) (11/2 -57%) Fazayte	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(4) Fazayte 11/2, Course winner who comes here on the back of an excellent third of 9 in handicap chase at Stratford (20.9f, good) 13 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. 4lb higher than when scoring at Sedgefield (2m3f) in November; third at Stratford recently.
3 4th (3) (3/1 +14%) Hall Lane	3 3/1(+14%)	(3) Hall Lane 3/1, Arrives in good nick, third of 9 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, good, 4/1) 32 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark. Regularly placed since switched to fences, including when runner-up at Southwell..
1 5th (1) (11/1 -57%) Tupelo Mississippi	11 11/1(-57%)	(1) Tupelo Mississippi 11/1, Scored at Kelso in January and posted a respectable fourth of 9 to Leading Force in handicap chase at Sedgefield (21.1f, good) 35 days ago. Considered. Fourth of nine to tonight's rival Leading Force at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) five weeks ago..
6 6th (6) (11/1 -57%) Foxinthebox	11 11/1(-57%)	(6) Foxinthebox 11/1, Off 2 years before a fading seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (24.5f, good to soft) 39 days ago. This fair hurdles winner can take a step forward on his chase debut. Huntingdon maiden hurdle winner (May 22); seldom seen since; best watched on chasing debut.
7 \|PU\| (7) (100/1 -614%) Who's The Guv'nor	100 100/1(-614%)	(7) Who's The Guv'nor 100/1, Dual course winner when last seen out in 2022. Back from 21 months off with his fitness to prove. Won three times during the summer of 2022, rising 16lb in the weights; fitness the unknown.

18:25 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Ryan Mania and LEADING FORCE teamed up for a comfortable success at Sedgefield last month and, from just 5lb higher, there are solid foundations to stick with the proven winning partnership. Hall Lane is shaping up nicely over fences and rates the chief threat to the selection given he has previous C&D experience. Fazayte is 3-7 in this discipline and is dangerous to underestimate from just 4lb above his last winning mark.

FAZAYTE signalled he's ready to go in again when an excellent recent Stratford third so this course winner looks the way to go. Sedgefield-victor Leading Force is feared most despite taking a 5 lb rise for that success, although both Hall Lane and Tupelo Mississippi can have a say too in a competitive handicap.

This looks a suitable opportunity for the Sedgefield scorer LEADING FORCE (nap) to add to his tally for an in-form Sandy Thomson.

18:33 Cork Listed 5f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 (7) (7/1 +0%) Easy	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Easy 7/1, Won first of 2 starts as a juvenile and having missed whole of last year, produced a decidedly useful performance having rejoined present yard when landing 9-runner Cork listed event (6f, heavy) in March. Remains capable of better provided she can stand regular racing. Smart winner of 6f Listed event here in March on heavy, probably has more to offer.
2 (2) (9/1 +18%) Twilight Jet	9 9/1(+18%)	(2) Twilight Jet 9/1, Smart performer who ran up to best under an attacking ride when neck second of 8 to Aesop's Fables in listed race at Naas (5f, good to firm, 14/1) 26 days ago. Visor on 1st time and respected with a repeat. Back near his best when second at Naas last month with So Majestic and Ano Syra behind.
1 (1) (11/1 -120%) Go Athletico	11 11/1(-120%)	(1) Go Athletico 11/1, Smart gelding. C&D winner. 37/10, not at best when 7½ lengths seventh of 11 to Ponntos in Group 3 Prix de Saint-Georges at Longchamp (5f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Won this race 12 months ago and definite possibilities if bouncing back. Won this race last year, creditable third at Naas before unplaced Longchamp run, respected.
12 (12) (33/1 +34%) Shandy	33 33/1(+34%)	(12) Shandy 33/1, Lightly-raced winner. 17¾ lengths last of 13 to Cherry Blossom in listed race at this course (5.5f, good) 35 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere. C&D maiden winner, has failed to build on that in two Listed attempts; very tough task now.
4 1st (4) (5/2 +0%) Clarendon House	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(4) Clarendon House 5/2, Smart gelding who enhanced his good strike rate in 17-runner handicap at York (5f, good) at the Dante Meeting in May. Very slow to start when last of 14 in "Dash" at Epsom (5f) 2 weeks ago but he's a player here provided there's no recurrence of those antics here. Official rating of 111 gives him a good chance in theory, yet to prosper in stakes races.
5 2nd (5) (5/1 +58%) Erosandpsyche	5 5/1(+58%)	(5) Erosandpsyche 5/1, Smart gelding. C&D winner. 28/1, probably needed the run after 21 months off when 8½ lengths last of 12 to Mitbaahy in Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good) 20 days ago. This should reveal more. Group 1 runner-up in 2022, missed last year, struggled at the Curragh on reappearance.
11 3rd (11) (9/1 +25%) Jakajaro	9 9/1(+25%)	(11) Jakajaro 9/1, Useful gelding. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 14/1, 2½ lengths fifth of 6 to Bucanero Fuerte in Lacken Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good to firm) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Found the competition to hot in 6f Group 3 at Naas; only second time over this trip now.
13 4th (13) (11/2 +69%) She's Quality	5.5 11/2(+69%)	(13) She's Quality 11/2, Useful filly. Very good 1½ lengths second of 13 to Cherry Blossom in listed race (6/1) at this course (5.5f, good) 35 days ago, second over 1f out and keeping on. Each-way possibilities again for all this demands more. Second behind the front-running Cherry Blossom here five weeks ago, this is a deeper race.
6 5th (6) (16/1 -78%) Dun Na Sead	16 16/1(-78%)	(6) Dun Na Sead 16/1, Smart mare who posted a career-best display when landing 12-runner Mercury Stakes on yard debut at Dundalk (5f) in October. Likely the run was needed after 7 month off when last of 8 to Aesop's Fables in listed race at Naas (5f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Better anticipated here. Won 5f Group at Dundalk last October, a long way below her best on reappearance in Naas.
9 6th (9) (150/1 -127%) Gabriella's Spirit	150 150/1(-127%)	(9) Gabriella's Spirit 150/1, Useful mare. C&D winner. 17¾ lengths last of 10 to Moss Tucker in listed race at Naas (5f, soft, 80/1) 46 days ago, weakening when hampered 2f out. No easy task on these terms kept to this level. C&D handicap winner, looks out of her depth on evidence of her last two Listed attempts.
3 7th (3) (28/1 -12%) Arnhem	28 28/1(-12%)	(3) Arnhem 28/1, Turned in a couple of lacklustre efforts upon returning to turf this spring but much more like it when second of 7 in handicap at Navan (5f, good) 6 days ago, headed 2f out before keeping on again final 1f. Work to do on these terms back up in class, however. Two wins and 14 places in a 28-race career; useful sort in handicaps but this is ambitious.
10 8th (10) (25/1 -56%) So Majestic	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) So Majestic 25/1, Useful filly. Excellent ½-length third of 8 to Aesop's Fables in listed race at Naas (5f, good to firm, 150/1) 26 days ago, running on. Task is to back that up now. Far surpassed all previous form when third at 150-1 in a Listed race at Naas.
8 9th (8) (4/1 +27%) Ano Syra	4 4/1(+27%)	(8) Ano Syra 4/1, Smart performer. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Good ¾-length third of 12 to Mitbaahy in Greenlands Stakes (50/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) 20 days ago, slowly away. Enters calculations. Gave career-best when third behind two British-trained sprinters in 6f Greenlands Stakes.

18:33 Cork Listed 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Held in high regard by her trainer Andy Slattery, dual course winner EASY might be able to take this competitive heat. Out of action for over a year and a half, the Kodiac four-year-old impressed when successful on her return, with Slattery commenting in the aftermath: "If I have a Group 1 horse, this is it." UK raider Clarendon House is the highest-rated runner in the line-up and is sure to have plenty of supporters with Colin Keane aboard. The eight-time winner lost all chance when very slow out of the stalls in the Epsom Dash on his most recent start, but was successful the time before that at York. First and second 12-months ago, Go Athletico and Ano Syra again do battle, with the latter an excellent third in a Group 3 at the Curragh on her latest outing. A close-up second and third in a Listed contest at Naas last month, Twilight Jet and So Majestic are others that warrant respect.

Having run out an impressive winner at York's Dante Meeting on his penultimate start, CLARENDON HOUSE gave himself no chance following a very slow start when last of 14 in the Dash at Epsom 2 weeks ago. He gets the tentative vote in the hope that blip was a one-off. Ano Syra and last year's winner Go Athletico head up the dangers, with low-mileage filly Easy another to keep on side this term.

There could be more improvement to come from EASY who shrugged off the effects of a long absence with a Listed 6f win here in March

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (5/2 -25%) Clan Chieftain	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(2) Clan Chieftain 5/2, Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good, 11/4) 20 days ago. On a handy mark and looks the one to beat. Hit traffic at key stages on his first crack at 1m6f latest; shortlisted off the same mark.
3 (3) (11/1 +45%) Songo	11 11/1(+45%)	(3) Songo 11/1, First run since leaving Milton Harris when good second of 7 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good to firm) 25 days ago, no match for winner. Has work to do. Not much wiggle room off this mark back on the Flat but he has claims if able to dictate.
1 1st (1) (2/1 +33%) Miller Spirit	2 2/1(+33%)	(1) Miller Spirit 2/1, Unreliable individual. 18/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (12f, good) 7 days ago. Not sure to be in the same form. Rain ideal but he has no penalty (3lb higher from tomorrow) and his claims are obvious.
4 2nd (4) (9/2 -13%) Enochdhu	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(4) Enochdhu 9/2, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Bath (11.6f, soft, 4/1) 47 days ago, suited by way race developed. Back up in trip. Should go well again. Last two wins have come in the spring on soft; 5lb rise means he needs a career-best.
6 3rd (6) (11/1 +21%) Capone	11 11/1(+21%)	(6) Capone 11/1, 13/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, soft) 20 days ago. Others make more appeal. Beaten a long way on his comeback and might want some help from the handicapper now.
8 4th (8) (14/1 +0%) Ragosina	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Ragosina 14/1, 33/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh (17.4f, heavy) 70 days ago. Fair on the Flat, creditable on last Flat run. Inconsistent; some way down the pecking order having been pulled up over hurdles latest.
7 5th (7) (12/1 +64%) Beau French	12 12/1(+64%)	(7) Beau French 12/1, Second of 8 in maiden at Angers (11.4f, good to soft) when last seen. Off over 3 years. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving J. De Mieulle. Makes handicap debut. Ex-French maiden; entitled to need this first run in more than three years.
5 6th (5) (7/2 +36%) Turner Girl	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(5) Turner Girl 7/2, Latest win at Doncaster in April. Respectable second of 8 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, good to firm, 9/2) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Remains of interest. Consistent mare who was in good form in the spring; should go well again.
9 7th (9) (12/1 -20%) Atalanta Breeze	12 12/1(-20%)	(9) Atalanta Breeze 12/1, 11/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good to soft) 24 days ago. On a fair mark and can't be discounted. Goes well fresh/at Brighton, so no surprise to see her do well latest; needs to back it up.

18:40 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

MILLER SPIRIT doesn't look the most straightforward, but he was still good enough to spring a bit of a surprise over 1m4f here last week and the four-year-old escapes a penalty so can capitalise on being 3lb well-in. Clan Chieftain put an ordinary comeback behind him when finding only one too strong at Salisbury and heads the dangers. He is joined on that list by Bath scorer Enochdhu, who will appreciate any rain, and the reliable Turner Girl.

CLAN CHIEFTAIN is feasibly treated and bounced back in no uncertain terms at Salisbury last time, so he's capable of going one better if in the same form. Turner Girl remains of interest and Enochdhu deserves respect after scoring at Bath.

Miller Spirit has fair claims of giving his yard a hat-trick in this race but preference is for the lightly raced CLAN CHIEFTAIN.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (9/1 +25%) Carrigeen Kampala	9 9/1(+25%)	(2) Carrigeen Kampala 9/1, Made it 3-3 here when running away with a small-field novice (16.7f, good) in September. Shaped much better than the distance beaten on handicap bow back from 9 months off at Cartmel (still well there when making a bad mistake at the final flight) but this demands improvement. Four novice wins in early part of last season; didn't run badly on recent h'cap debut.
3 2nd (3) (7/2 -75%) Grivetana	3.5 7/2(-75%)	(3) Grivetana 7/2, Largely below par for Paul Nicholls in 2023 but back on track following a 6-month break when making a winning start for new connections at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft). Remains on a good mark up 4 lb and she's a must for the shortlist. Held on from a strong finisher to make winning stable debut; still on a good mark here.
6 3rd (6) (10/1 -122%) Pop The Champagne	10 10/1(-122%)	(6) Pop The Champagne 10/1, Bumper winner who was well placed to land 4-timer in novice hurdles at around 2m for Fergal O'Brien in summer 2022. Mixed bag since and while she posted one of her better efforts when runner-up at Warwick (2m, good to soft) recently, her jumping remains an issue. Did well to finish second at Warwick last month but may find others better handicapped.
8 4th (8) (13/2 +46%) Tour Ovalie	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(8) Tour Ovalie 13/2, Fair in bumpers and of a similar level over hurdles, coping well with a test of speed when off the mark in 7-runner handicap at Stratford (16.3f, good) last month. Not disgraced when fifth to Mermaids Cave at Cartmel last time but will do well to reverse placings with that rival here. Backed up last month's Stratford win wth decent effort behind Mermaids Cave at Cartmel.
7 5th (7) (50/1 -1718%) Mermaids Cave	50 50/1(-1718%)	(7) Mermaids Cave 50/1, Has sprouted wings since joining James Owen, winning 3 of her 4 starts for the yard. Latest success at Cartmel was gained under this claimer and while she continues to climb the weights, another bold show is very much on the cards. Well beaten on stable debut but has won three in a row since; commands respect.
1 6th (1) (450/1 -5900%) Magical Maggie	450 450/1(-5900%)	(1) Magical Maggie 450/1, Got back on the up when winning for the fourth time over hurdles in mares handicap at Ludlow (15.8f, heavy) in December. Has continued in decent heart since, fifth in competitive events at Cheltenham and Aintree the last twice, and she's a live each-way contender. Gave good account when fifth in strong race at Aintree last month; shortlisted.
9 7th (9) (350/1 -4567%) Karannelle	350 350/1(-4567%)	(9) Karannelle 350/1, It's been a while since her last win but she goes well here and shaped encouragingly in a race not run to suit after 7 months off back here (16.8f, good) last week. This step up in trip looks a good move and she's one to be interested in. Still on workable mark after encouraging reappearance run; wants good ground.
5 8th (5) (350/1 -961%) Pillar Of Steel	350 350/1(-961%)	(5) Pillar Of Steel 350/1, As good as ever when getting back to winning ways in mares' handicap off this mark at Straftford last August but more miss than hit since. Cheekpieces refitted. Won off this mark last summer but the forecast rain is a worry today; others preferred.
4 \|PU\| (4) (450/1 -1264%) Naeva	450 450/1(-1264%)	(4) Naeva 450/1, Fair form in France, winning 3 claiming events over hurdles/fences in 2022. Understandably struggled in a Cheltenham Grade 2 on debut for new yard in January 2023 and this is more realistic but 16-month absence is an obvious concern. Well beaten in Grade 2 juvenile hurdle on British debut in early 2023; absent since.

18:45 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

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

James Owen hasn't taken too long to work some magic with MERMAIDS CAVE, who numbered Tour Ovalie and Carrigeen Kampala among her victims when completing a hat-trick at Cartmel. The five-year-old is open to even more improvement and is worth sticking with. Grivetana justified favouritism at Southwell on her first start for Harry Derham and is a big danger, while Pop The Champagne's Warwick second suggested that her turn is imminent again.

Having caught the eye on her recent reappearance at this course, KARANNELLE could be the answer. She should be spot-on with that run under her belt, she's on a good mark and clearly goes well round here. Grivetana is a much-respected main danger following her successful debut for this yard at Southwell, while Mermaids Cave has to be taken seriously in her bid for the four-timer.

Harry Derham's GRIVETANA (nap) looked revitalised on last month's stable debut and can follow up off today's 4lb higher mark.

Sets a high standard. Winning return from serious injury when scoring by 5l at Naas; beaten fav at Cork since.
2 1st (2) (5/1 +75%) Booyea	5 5/1(+75%)	(2) Booyea 5/1, Fairly useful gelding. Ninth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Tipperary (9f, heavy). Off 8 months. Down in trip. Dual winner over 1m1f last term; stiff task at the weights on first run since October.
1 2nd (1) (9/4 +65%) Gleneagle Bay	2.25 9/4(+65%)	(1) Gleneagle Bay 9/4, Twice-raced winner. Winner at Dundalk in March. 10/1, good fifth of 6 in minor event at Listowel (8f, good) 12 days ago. Trainer going well but this demands more. Beat smart horse in 1m AW maiden and not shamed in useful conditions event at Listowel.
5 3rd (5) (7/4 +42%) Democracy	1.75 7/4(+42%)	(5) Democracy 7/4, Fairly useful colt. Off 9 months before creditable tenth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) 20 days ago. Stable having good spell so not dismissed. Highly tried and found wanting after winning debut at two; beaten 6l on return at Curragh.
4 4th (4) (4/1 +56%) Something Nice	4 4/1(+56%)	(4) Something Nice 4/1, Useful gelding. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 46 days ago, slowly away. Sort to bounce back. Progressive at up to a mile last summer but form tailed off; well held in sprints lately.

18:50 Fairyhouse Stakes 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Although a beaten favourite in a premier handicap at Cork when last seen, the Ger Lyons-trained JANOOBI should appreciate this slightly easier assignment. A promising sort earlier in his career, the five-year-old overcame a long absence when making a winning reappearance at Naas in March. He may not have been at his best on his second run back but can show his true ability here. Democracy was disappointing on his seasonal return at the Curragh last month, but looks favourably treated by these weights. With Jack Cleary taking off an additional 7lb, he has to be involved. Gleneagle Bay was impressive at Dundalk before running below par at Listowel. He deserves a chance to prove that wasn't his true form.

Ger Lyons has his string in good nick and his JANOOBI rates a cut above these on form so is a confident choice to quickly get back to winning ways on the back of a solid Cork sixth. Democracy appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Something Nice.

On paper this looks a good spot for JANOOBI who, according to the handicapper, has 10lb in hand of Gleneagle Bay at these terms

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (9/1 -100%) Oslo	9 9/1(-100%)	(2) Oslo 9/1, Showed the benefit of a recent spin on the Flat when producing a career-best to land a 9-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (2m, good) in April. Didn't get the chance to show what he could do off his revised mark at Bangor since (brought down third). C&D maiden winner in career best-equalling form at Huntingdon in April; won't want rain.
7 (7) (12/1 -20%) Parvos	12 12/1(-20%)	(7) Parvos 12/1, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland who produced an improved performance to get off the mark on third start for this yard at Sedgefield in February. Back from a lesser run at Musselburgh when a creditable fourth at Cartmel 3 weeks ago. 1-14 but back to her best form level in defeat latest, and won't mind if there's any rain.
3 1st (3) (5/2 +29%) Chaos Control	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(3) Chaos Control 5/2, Fairly useful performer on Flat who landed a C&D juvenile hurdle in February 2023. 0-5 in handicap hurdles since but his latest 5 lengths fourth over 20.5f here was creditable and he's been eased another 2 lb. Only 1-10 over hurdles, but win came over C&D (good); mark becoming ever more tempting.
6 2nd (6) (14/1 +0%) Quaresome	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Quaresome 14/1, Won bumper and maiden hurdle on first 2 starts but has drawn a blank since. Creditable 13 lengths second in 17f Sedgefield handicap (heavy) but followed that with a poor run at Huntingdon. May cope with any rain given peak efforts to date, but may still need lowering a bit more.
1 3rd (1) (7/2 -17%) Castel Gandolfo	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(1) Castel Gandolfo 7/2, Had a consistent spell in the first half of last season, winning at Kelso and also runner-up twice over C&D. Not at best in a couple of big-field hurdles but it was the very competitive Swinton last time and he can make more of an impact back in calmer waters. Record of 2422 in the big C&D summer hurdles over past two years; back on a winning mark.
4 4th (4) (5/4 +34%) Ittack Blue	1.25 5/4(+34%)	(4) Ittack Blue 5/4, 310,000 gns point recruit who has clicked over hurdles with wins in C&D maiden and novice events last month. Another bold bid likely now switching to handicap company. Dual all-the-way C&D scorer last month (good), not running up to this mark; handicap bow.
5 5th (5) (125/1 -89%) Logan Rocks	125 125/1(-89%)	(5) Logan Rocks 125/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Amy Murphy during 2019/20 season but pulled up on his recent return from a monster 4-year absence. Pulled up on return from 1,555 days out; still to determine how much ability remains.

19:00 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

ITTACK BLUE made every yard to justify his short odds and record a double over track and trip last month and he now makes his handicap debut. Dan Skelton's six-year-old could have any amount of improvement to come and he looks difficult to oppose. Chaos Control wasn't disgraced in fourth in a class 3 event over an extended 2m4f here on the same card and he could get involved off a 2lb lower rating, while Parvos can fight it out for the minor honours.

The class-dropping CASTEL GANDOLFO is back on the mark he defied at Kelso at a similar time last year and might be worth siding with to deny Dan Skelton handicap newcomer Ittack Blue a third successive C&D win.

This is easier than the Class 2 C&D handicaps in which CASTEL GANDOLFO's record reads 2242. He's favoured ahead of Chaos Control.

19:08 Cork Group 3 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (50/1 -213%) Derida	50 50/1(-213%)	(1) Derida 50/1, Useful mare. First run since leaving Sarah Steinberg when 9¼ lengths eleventh of 12 to Thunder Roll in listed race at this course (12.1f, good to soft, 18/1) on IRE debut 49 days ago. Clearly has work to do. Disappointing in a Listed race over C&D on stable debut; capable of better but questions.
5 1st (5) (13/8 +41%) Sumiha	1.625 13/8(+41%)	(5) Sumiha 13/8, Promising sort. 1¼ lengths second of 9 to Candleford in listed race (2/1) at the Curragh (12f, good) 20 days ago, clear of rest. This filly remains with potential and she's high on the shortlist. Unlucky-in-running in a C&D Listed before runner-up in a Curragh Listed since; big player.
7 2nd (7) (9/2 +25%) Trevaunance	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(7) Trevaunance 9/2, Useful mare. Course winner. 11/1, creditable 3 lengths fourth of 10 to Term of Endearment in Bronte Cup at York (13.8f, good) 20 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces back on and she needs considering. Smart sort but not as good this term; was 1l behind Thunder Roll over C&D in April.
4 3rd (4) (16/1 -146%) Scarlett O'hara	16 16/1(-146%)	(4) Scarlett O'hara 16/1, Useful filly. 13/2, creditable 4¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Candleford in listed race at the Curragh (12f, good) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and she makes some each-way appeal. Placed in this grade; should have improved from seasonal debut in Listed race; go close.
8 4th (8) (15/2 -114%) Greenfinch	7.5 15/2(-114%)	(8) Greenfinch 15/2, Lightly-raced winner. Excellent 3¼ lengths fourth of 11 to A Lilac Rolla in 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy, 22/1) 68 days ago. Enjoys a handy weight-for-age allowance and she's a major player. A 7f AW maiden winner; 4th in a Group 3 over same trip; takes a big jump in trip now.
3 5th (3) (18/1 +0%) Nostringsattached	18 18/1(+0%)	(3) Nostringsattached 18/1, Fairly useful mare. Course winner. 2 wins from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (9/2) at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Much more on her plate here. In fine form but is unproven over this trip and has to find improvement in this company.
6 6th (6) (10/3 -11%) Thunder Roll	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(6) Thunder Roll 10/3, Useful filly. Career best when winning 12-runner listed race (3/1) at this course (12.1f, good to soft) 49 days ago by ½ length from Sumiha, well positioned. Meets that rival on 3 lb better terms but arguably lacks her scope for improvement. Gave Sumiha 3lb and beat her in a Listed race over C&D in April; be close between them.
2 7th (2) (50/1 -127%) Joupe	50 50/1(-127%)	(2) Joupe 50/1, Useful mare. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Good 2½ lengths third of 9 to Enfranchise in listed race at Gowran (14f, heavy, 14/1) 37 days ago. Faces a stiff task on these terms. Third in Listed race over 1m6f at Gowran (sft/hvy) last time; needs to find improvement.

19:08 Cork Group 3 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A runner-up over the course and distance in the Noblesse, SUMIHA might be able to reverse the form with Thunder Roll. Just half-a-length separated the pair in that Listed contest, with the selection finishing fast after meeting with some trouble in running. The Dermot Weld-trained four-year-old again filled the runner-up spot on her most recent outing at the Curragh and would be a deserving winner of this Group 3 prize. Third, seventh and eleventh in the Noblesse, Trevaunance, Joupe and Derida all return to the Mallow venue, with the latter, who won a Listed race in France, fitted with a tongue strap for the first time. Getting a weight allowance on account of her age, Greenfinch is another leading hope. A fine fourth in Group 3 company at Leopardstown when last seen, she finished ahead of three subsequent winners and taking a significant step-up in trip now, it'll be interesting to see how she fares.

The score is one apiece in the head-to-head between SUMIHA and Thunder Roll, and it was again just half-a-length that seperated them when the latter emerged on top in a C&D listed race in April. Thunder Roll is actually 3 lb better off with the runner-up now but the Dermot Weld-trained filly took another step forward when again finding one too good at the Curragh since and she remains capable of better still. The 3-y-o Greenfinch and Trevaunance also need considering.

Unlucky when beaten 1l by Thunder Roll over C&D in April, SUMIHA was since runner-up at the Curragh and can go one better today.

1 1st (1) (4/1 -78%) Cypriot Diaspora	4 4/1(-78%)	(1) Cypriot Diaspora 4/1, Latest win at Nottingham in April. Very good second of 8 in handicap (5/2) at Leicester (6f, soft) 17 days ago, just failing. Looks the one to beat. Progressive profile but mark, ground and course are all a worry, so has a bit to overcome.
2 2nd (2) (6/1 -50%) Gogo Yubari	6 6/1(-50%)	(2) Gogo Yubari 6/1, Five wins from 17 Flat runs. 5 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 9/2) 21 days ago. Not taken lightly. Five wins on the AW already this year and has continued in form since returned to turf.
7 3rd (7) (40/1 -186%) Land Of Magic	40 40/1(-186%)	(7) Land Of Magic 40/1, 22/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 7 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Not dismissed. Has been running over further; has reared in stalls the past twice and has risks attached.
3 4th (3) (33/1 -633%) Lyraisa	33 33/1(-633%)	(3) Lyraisa 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, eighth of 19 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good) 28 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Open to progress. This is more realistic now handicapping; market support would see her enter the equation.
8 5th (8) (66/1 -633%) Milliethemollie	66 66/1(-633%)	(8) Milliethemollie 66/1, Winner at Dundalk in December. 5/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Not discounted. Should be up to winning off this sort of mark but there can only be so many excuses.
4 6th (4) (66/1 -1000%) Hilltop	66 66/1(-1000%)	(4) Hilltop 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good, 2/1) 20 days ago. Still early days and may have a better performance in her. Among the favourites both starts since handicapping; evidently felt capable off this mark.
6 7th (6) (100/1 -2400%) Imola	100 100/1(-2400%)	(6) Imola 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in maiden (4/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 22 days ago. Makes handicap debut. May well do better and worthy of interest from a fair opening mark. Three fair efforts on the AW to date without progressing; needs to settle from stall 1.

19:15 Goodwood Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Cypriot Diaspora was denied by a head into second in heavy conditions at Leicester on her latest outing and she should go well off a 2lb higher mark. However, the vote goes to HILLTOP, who finished third behind Gogo Yubari (winner) two starts ago at Wolverhampton, but she is 3lb better off with that rival. The daughter of New Bay arguably didn't enjoy the track at Salisbury when well-held in fifth last time and can put that effort behind her to shed the maiden tag. Imola warrants a market check on her handicap debut.

CYPRIOT DIASPORA upped her game when second at Leicester recently and a performance of similar merit would probably be enough to land this unless Imola takes a step forward for the switch to handicapping. Gogo Yubari is also in good order, so shouldn't be dismissed for all that she'd need to improve to overhaul the selection.

Lyraisa is considered but the keen-going HILLTOP is clearly felt capable off this mark and gets the nod.

That run entitled to have brought him on ahead of chase debut and worth noting if the market spoke in his favour.Engaged 7.25 Worcester Five-time hurdle winner (twice over 3m2f here); makes chasing debut today.
2 1st (2) (9/2 -29%) Broomfields Cave	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(2) Broomfields Cave 9/2, Dual point winner who doubled his hurdles tally at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in October and returned from a break in good heart, albeit not convincing in the jumping department when second of 4 on chase debut at Southwell (25.8f) 23 days ago. Others make more appeal overall. Flattered by proximity to idling winner when second on chasing debut but still ran well.
5 2nd (5) (5/2 -67%) Langley Hundred	2.5 5/2(-67%)	(5) Langley Hundred 5/2, Dual staying handicap hurdle winner who has eased in weights and returned to pick of his chase form (also had wind op) when runner-up in a C&D handicap 9 days ago, jumping on 4 out and edged out near finish. Possibilites from same mark if backing that up here. Went close over C&D last week and is back in action before 3lb rise takes effect.

Longer trip sure to suit now and likely there's more to come in this sphere. Player. Kept on for second over 2m3f last month and today's longer trip ought to suit.
1 4th (1) (200/1 -4344%) Wonderwall	200 200/1(-4344%)	(1) Wonderwall 200/1, Useful bumper/hurdle winner for Richard Spencer who arrives here on the back of solid placed efforts over hurdles at Aintree/Cartmel in recent weeks. Has showed aptitude for this job for former yard previously and he's one to bear in mind. Placed in two Class 2 hurdles in May; big player if finding some fluency on chase return.

19:20 Newton Abbot Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

BROOMFIELDS CAVE should have learned plenty from his chase bow when runner-up at Southwell last month and compensation could await racing off the same mark. The Neil Mulholland-trained gelding looks sure to pick up a race of this nature sooner or later and he's taken to fend off Langley Hundred. Having finished a close-up second over C&D recently, the seven-year-old is effectively 3lb well-in and another prominent showing is forecast. Wonderwall may chase the pair home.

EXMOOR FOREST very much caught the eye, particularly with a view to stepping back up in trip, when runner-up at Ffos Las (19.4f) 2 weeks ago, noted finishing with running left. Still unexposed as a chaser, he earns the vote to build on the promise showed then, with Wonderwall, who is similarly unexposed as a chaser, and recent C&D second Langley Hundred others to consider.

This is a significant drop in grade for WONDERWALL, who was placed in two competitive handicap hurdles last month.

Fairly useful on the Flat, 5/11 on last Flat run. Has fallen to a workable mark. Missed last year; fair fifth over 1m4f at Leopardstown and filled same spot hurdling since.
14 3rd (14) (15/2 -36%) Bold Approach	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(14) Bold Approach 15/2, Twenty six runs since last win in 2019. Good second of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (12.8f, good, 5/1) 8 days ago. Yard having good spell. Should go well. Two good placed efforts at Leopardstown lately under this rider; should be thereabouts.
15 4th (15) (22/1 +33%) Out On Friday	22 22/1(+33%)	(15) Out On Friday 22/1, Course winner. 22/1, fifth of 16 in handicap at this course (10f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Becoming well treated. Likes it here and signs of a revival over 1m2f last month; this trip might stretch him.
13 5th (13) (11/2 +8%) Global Export	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(13) Global Export 11/2, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Navan in May. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (10/3) at Listowel (16.2f, good) 12 days ago, never nearer. In good form under both codes lately and was poorly positioned in slow-run race latest.
4 6th (4) (12/1 -71%) Extensio	12 12/1(-71%)	(4) Extensio 12/1, 10/3, good third of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (18f, good). Off 8 months. Down in trip. Player if ready to roll on his return to action. Useful handicapper likes decent ground and has won under this rider; stays much farther.
2 7th (2) (8/1 -45%) Busselton	8 8/1(-45%)	(2) Busselton 8/1, 40/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Cheltenham (25f, heavy) 94 days ago. Off 94 days. Trainer going well. Fair on the Flat, won on last Flat run. Makes handicap debut. Classy chaser but pulled up last twice in that sphere; maiden winner on Flat; h'cap bow.
7 8th (7) (12/1 +25%) Joe Masseria	12 12/1(+25%)	(7) Joe Masseria 12/1, Last of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Cork (7f, heavy) 76 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Leanne Breen. Looks competitive on form. Useful soft-ground handicapper for Noel Meade; marked step up in trip for stable debut.
6 9th (6) (150/1 -50%) Whiskey Sour	150 150/1(-50%)	(6) Whiskey Sour 150/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2017. Last of 8 in handicap at Navan (14f, good to soft, 125/1) 38 days ago, slowly away. Smart horse for Willie Mullins but old-timer has finished in rear both starts for yard.
10 10th (10) (12/1 +25%) Chemdawg	12 12/1(+25%)	(10) Chemdawg 12/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Career best when winning 7-runner maiden at Roscommon (12.2f, good to soft, 5/1) 32 days ago.

Shortlist material back on the Flat. Ready winner over hurdles latest and was third off just 1lb lower at Galway last year.
9 12th (9) (80/1 -100%) Nemean	80 80/1(-100%)	(9) Nemean 80/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, last of 12 in handicap (100/1) at Cork (10.2f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Maiden under both codes, placed twice from six starts on the level; needed Cork comeback.

16 16th (16) (25/1 +0%) Rumi	25 25/1(+0%)	(16) Rumi 25/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Gowran in April. Ninth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Listowel (16.2f, good) 12 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Came back from nearly year off to win over this trip at Gowran; held Flat and jumps since.

19:25 Fairyhouse Handicap 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The Jim Bolger-trained BOLD APPROACH should have every chance of going one better than his recent Leopardstown runner-up effort. A proven stayer, the eight-year-old ran well for a young apprentice who retains the ride on this occasion. Having enjoyed a first career success in the interim, Gabriella Hill should be riding full of confidence at the moment. Global Export won at Navan last month, before posting a solid effort off a higher mark at Listowel. He should again be capable of making his presence felt. Roscommon winner Sixpack could also have further improvement in him, especially now he steps up to this distance for the first time in his career.

HERCULANEUM has done well over hurdles this spring and might be able to continue the good work back on the Flat. Jim Bolger's Bold Approach arrives on the back of a good run at Leopardstown last week and is second choice ahead of Sixpack and The Names Jock.

Having improved for going 1m4f recently, SIXPACK looks worth a shot at this trip. He's only had 9 runs and is open to further progress

19:35 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (13/2 +19%) Stroll On By	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(7) Stroll On By 13/2, Quickly developed into a better chaser than hurdler, getting off the mark in novice handicap at Exeter (17.5f, soft) in October. Hasn't fired the last twice but may come on for latest effort at Warwick. Still 4lb above the mark of October's Exeter win; drop back from nearer 2m4f is a plus.
3 2nd (3) (11/2 -100%) Stormin Crossgales	5.5 11/2(-100%)	(3) Stormin Crossgales 11/2, Headstrong sort who doubled his tally in this sphere when hanging on to score at Huntingdon last month but he's not the most consistent. Amazing win at Huntingdon latest; wet forecast concerns rather more than the 5lb re-raise.
6 3rd (6) (5/1 -25%) Gower Prince	5 5/1(-25%)	(6) Gower Prince 5/1, Strong in the betting and duly proved a different proposition sent chasing back under less testing conditions when scoring at Wincanton in April. Tough ask next time and can get back on the up. Well treated on Wincanton win form; not run close to that level yet away from good ground.
5 4th (5) (18/1 +28%) Restandbethankful	18 18/1(+28%)	(5) Restandbethankful 18/1, Notched second success over fences at Sedgefield in October and ran well off his lower hurdles mark when runner-up at Catterick. Poor efforts since, including back over larger obstacles last time. 2-3 here; almost defied tonight's mark just before Christmas; below par the last thrice.
1 5th (1) (100/1 -2122%) Cedar Hill	100 100/1(-2122%)	(1) Cedar Hill 100/1, Not disgraced when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Musselburgh (15.8f, good to soft) 131 days ago. Needs considering off a falling mark. Regular Class 3 winner with stamina to spare at tonight's trip; player off a doable mark.
4 6th (4) (100/1 -3233%) Great Samourai	100 100/1(-3233%)	(4) Great Samourai 100/1, 3/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (16.5f, good) 18 days ago, doing better under change of tactics. Can go well again under a positive ride. Not hard done to with a 7lb rise for his Huntingdon win latest; appears okay with cut.
2 7th (2) (100/1 -1438%) Imperial Bede	100 100/1(-1438%)	(2) Imperial Bede 100/1, French bumper/hurdles winner who ran out a ready winner on chase debut at Southwell (20.4f) in February. Yet to build on that, failing to beat a rival at Bangor recently, but he's worthy of a market check. Required at least 2m4f for best recent work; worry he'll find this happening too quickly.

19:35 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

GREAT SAMOURAI accounted for his nearest rival by over six lengths in this grade at Huntingdon last month and he is only 7lb higher for that triumph. The seven-year-old could have similar conditions to contend with and he looks the one to beat again. The main danger might be Stormin Crossgales, who was given a fine ride when scoring by a neck, also at Huntingdon, and can have a say off a 5lb higher rating. Gower Prince is another to consider.

GREAT SAMOURAI benefited from a positive ride at Huntingdon last time and he boasts excellent claims of making all once more. Gower Prince had a stiff task last time but impressed on his chasing debut prior to that, so he's another big player, while Stormin Crossgales is a danger if he turns up in the same mood as at Huntingdon last month.

Dropped to Class 4 and on a bankable mark, CEDAR HILL can make Sandy Thomson's trip worthwhile. Great Samourai is next best.

19:43 Cork Handicap 12f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (8/1 +6%) Taipan	8 8/1(+6%)	(1) Taipan 8/1, 10/11, creditable 1½ lengths second of 6 to Powerful Aggie in listed race at Down Royal (16.2f, good). Drop back in trip shouldn't be too much of an issue and she'll be a danger to all if ready to roll following 11 months off. In good form last year but questions to answer after a long time away.
2 (2) (13/2 -8%) Eastern Legend	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(2) Eastern Legend 13/2, 3¼ lengths fifth of 10 to Kargese in Champion Juvenile Hurdle at Punchestown (16f, soft, 66/1) 41 days ago. Runner-up on return in this sphere at Navan last month and he's a live each-way contender. Decent sort ran a belter in a Grade 1 over hurdles when last seen and has to be respected.
12 1st (12) (14/1 +36%) La Dame Blanche	14 14/1(+36%)	(12) La Dame Blanche 14/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving Michael Mulvany when creditable second of 22 in handicap (20/1) at Navan (10.2f, good) 6 days ago. This demands a clear career-best. Second at Navan last weekend but is 10lb out of the handicap here; a 7lb claimer helps.
4 2nd (4) (9/2 +50%) Zoffman	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(4) Zoffman 9/2, 12/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good) 20 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. Decent start to this term but found 1m2f a bit short last time; capable of going close.
7 3rd (7) (5/2 +17%) Carlo Bianconi	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(7) Carlo Bianconi 5/2, Lightly-raced winner. 16/5 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good) 30 days ago (subsequently disqualified). Big player off the same mark. Disqualified after winning at Sligo last time; greatly respected off the same mark today.
3 4th (3) (10/3 +17%) Take Heart	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(3) Take Heart 10/3, Very good second of 12 in handicap (10/3) at this course (10.2f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Yard having good spell and he's impossible to rule out. Just touched off over 1m2f at this track last time and is worth a try at this trip.
5 5th (5) (18/1 -80%) Timourid	18 18/1(-80%)	(5) Timourid 18/1, 13/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 8 days ago, keeping on well. Significantly back up in trip and this is more demanding. Won a handicap over 1m1f last time; not at his best in four starts over this trip.
8 6th (8) (10/1 -11%) Complete Fiction	10 10/1(-11%)	(8) Complete Fiction 10/1, Good third of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft, 11/1) 15 days ago. Needs to raise his game. Third at Leopardstown over 1m2f last time; disappointing only start at this trip.
9 7th (9) (18/1 -112%) By Your Side	18 18/1(-112%)	(9) By Your Side 18/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 12/1) 33 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, respectable on last Flat outing. Still, he's opposable judfed on recent hurdles exploits. Smart hurdler; decent Flat run when last seen; chance even from 2lb out of the handicap.
11 8th (11) (12/1 +0%) Sequoiaspirit	12 12/1(+0%)	(11) Sequoiaspirit 12/1, Creditable second of 13 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Listowel (20.4f, good) 13 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Down in trip. Fair on the Flat, creditable on last Flat run. Looks vulnerable. Improved on Flat last year; over hurdles since without winning; 2lb out of the handicap.
10 9th (10) (20/1 -150%) Jaafel	20 20/1(-150%)	(10) Jaafel 20/1, 7/1, fifth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (12.8f, good) 8 days ago, not ideally placed. Lurking on a good mark and he's one to consider. Beaten 2l in a 1m5f Leopardstown handicap; could go well even from 2lb out of the handicap.
6 10th (6) (80/1 -142%) Morph Speed	80 80/1(-142%)	(6) Morph Speed 80/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good, 10/1) 35 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere lacked spark and needs to get back on track now tried in cheekpieces. Won this in 2021 and 4th last year; has to return to form in first-time cheekpieces.

19:43 Cork Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

First time cheekpieces worked a treat on CARLO BIANCONI at Sligo last month, making the breakthrough on what was his handicap debut. The Joseph O'Brien-trained four-year-old was however later disqualified, after winning rider Wayne Hassett claimed 7lb instead of five. Owned by the shrewd Kevin Blake, the French-bred bay looks nicely treated here on a mark of 77 and should go close with Hassett again on board. Jaafel didn't get the clearest of runs when fifth at Leopardstown last week and is of definite interest for the in-form yard of Charles Byrnes. Six-time winner Timourid was successful on that same Leopardstown card and he is sure to have plenty of supporters in his bid to follow-up. An excellent fifth in a Grade 1 over flights when last seen, Eastern Legend is another for the shortlist, while the returning Taipan and 2021 winner Morph Speed (first time cheekpieces) also warrant respect.

While it's a concern that JAAFEL has yet to strike on turf following 22 attempts, he is clearly effective on grass and could be worth chancing on the back of a very encouraging effort at Leopardstown last week. Carlo Bianconi was first past the post in a Sligo handicap last month and looks very dangerous off the same mark, while Take Heart is third choice. Taipan also merits respect and will be a threat if fit enough to do himself justice.

Disqualified on a technicality after winning a Sligo handicap last time, CARLO BIANCONI(nap) can make amends off the same mark today.

19:50 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 (3) (6/1 -33%) Make It Easy	6 6/1(-33%)	(3) Make It Easy 6/1, Shaped as if still in form when fourth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 8/1) 13 days ago, not clear run. Not dismissed. Unlucky not to finish closer last time when taking a bump and hitting traffic; shortlisted.
5 (5) (6/1 -33%) Cloud King	6 6/1(-33%)	(5) Cloud King 6/1, Winner at Southwell in March. Last of 7 in handicap (7/4) at this C&D (good to firm) 20 days ago. Hooded now but still has it to prove on turf. No surprise to see a hood tried and this mark could be within range if he's more amenable.
7 1st (7) (5/4 +38%) Enchanting	1.25 5/4(+38%)	(7) Enchanting 5/4, Lightly-raced winner. Respectable fourth of 19 in handicap (20/1) at Epsom (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago. This is a more straightforward assignment and she still has potential based on the pick of last year's efforts. Two of these behind at Epsom (made most); any rain is likely to work in her favour.
4 2nd (4) (5/1 +17%) Mc Loven	5 5/1(+17%)	(4) Mc Loven 5/1, Thirteenth of 19 in handicap (33/1) at Epsom (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Others make more appeal. Poor draw latest; has plenty of pace and this is less competitive; yard in fair form.
2 3rd (2) (33/1 -230%) War Bride	33 33/1(-230%)	(2) War Bride 33/1, Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago. Down in trip. Makes turf debut. Others more persuasive. Has to prove she has the toe on this first crack at 5f (down from 7f) on her turf debut.
1 4th (1) (40/1 -900%) Mart	40 40/1(-900%)	(1) Mart 40/1, Five wins from 18 Flat runs. Latest win at Lingfield in May. Below form tenth of 19 in handicap at Epsom (5f, good to soft, 12/1) 13 days ago, never nearer. Could get back on track. Tough and progressive but spring improvement came over 6f and he'll need a career-best.
6 5th (6) (50/1 -257%) Hint Of The Jungle	50 50/1(-257%)	(6) Hint Of The Jungle 50/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 53 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Drawn on the outside back from a short break, which won't help him settle; has it to prove.

19:50 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ENCHANTING produced a big effort to finish fourth in the 3YO "Dash" at Epsom earlier in the month and the handicapper may have been kind to drop her 1lb for that performance. The daughter of Blue Point has plenty of early pace to burn and she could prove too good for her rivals. The main threat might be Make It Easy, who met trouble at both ends of the race at Musselburgh last time, so that display deserves a huge upgrade. Of the remainder, Cloud King makes the most appeal in a first-time hood.

ENCHANTING looked potentially useful as a 2-y-o and got back on track at Epsom last time, so she's worth a chance to click and gain her first handicap success at the possible expense of Make It Easy, who is in good order. Cloud King disappointed here last time but remains with potential if he's as effective on turf as AW.

The vote goes to MAKE IT EASY, who didn't have much go right last time off the back of a solid run at York.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (40/1 -186%) Lucky Lara	40 40/1(-186%)	(4) Lucky Lara 40/1, Standout effort over hurdles (fair form) when fifth in mares novice at Wincanton in 2020/21. Unseated rider both outings in hunters for Syd Hosie in early 2022 but has had some success in the pointing field since. Won a restricted point in March but current hurdling ability very tricky to gauge.
12 1st (12) (16/1 +27%) Hammer Dan	16 16/1(+27%)	(12) Hammer Dan 16/1, Little show in bumper/over hurdles. Unexposed after only five hurdle starts but was well beaten in both handicaps last season.
5 2nd (5) (15/2 -329%) Dear Ralphy	7.5 15/2(-329%)	(5) Dear Ralphy 15/2, 9/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, good) 2 days ago. This looks tougher but not discounted. Finished well to score at Fontwell on Wednesday; has 7lb penalty to shoulder here.
13 3rd (13) (28/1 +58%) Side Stepper	28 28/1(+58%)	(13) Side Stepper 28/1, Not one to be interested in, his ropey attitude returning sent handicapping at Worcester (20f) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Well beaten over 2m4f on recent handicap debut; tries a new trip today.
1 4th (1) (7/1 +30%) Grove Road	7 7/1(+30%)	(1) Grove Road 7/1, Looked a promising stayer in the making when winning a brace of novice hurdles in late 2022. Has become disappointing but potentially thrown-in if new yard (left Archie Watson for £5,000) can spark him back to life. Became disappointing for Archie Watson; may have been refreshed by recent regime change.
9 5th (9) (350/1 -2817%) Rubys Reward	350 350/1(-2817%)	(9) Rubys Reward 350/1, Possibly found race coming too soon when eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f, good) 15 days ago. Shaped well on penultimate outing, so not dismissed. Ran okay last month, after a break, but failed to build on that effort a few days later.
6 6th (6) (400/1 -11329%) Stiletto	400 400/1(-11329%)	(6) Stiletto 400/1, Modest maiden who ran creditably when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (26f, good to soft, 9/2) 15 days ago. Should remain competitive. 0-24 under all codes but has very solid record in staying hurdles; probably in the mix.
11 7th (11) (250/1 -1686%) Baby Sham	250 250/1(-1686%)	(11) Baby Sham 250/1, 6/1, again showed little when sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Won twice in early part of last season but has been out of form this year.
3 8th (3) (350/1 -600%) Espinator	350 350/1(-600%)	(3) Espinator 350/1, C&D winner who possibly still needed the run when eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 39 days ago. This will reveal more. Lightly raced since C&D win in 2021 and has looked out of sorts on both outings this year.
7 9th (7) (400/1 -5233%) Coup De Gold	400 400/1(-5233%)	(7) Coup De Gold 400/1, Latest win at Sedgefield in January and took a step forward for current yard when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, good) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Placed on over 2m4f last month, his second stable start; a possible if stamina holds out.
2 10th (2) (250/1 -900%) Sammylou	250 250/1(-900%)	(2) Sammylou 250/1, Veteran who is on a good mark but made no impact after 6 months off at Southwell 10 days ago. Pulled up last month, after a break, but is very well suited by this C&D.
8 \|PU\| (8) (350/1 -1150%) Ceejaybe	350 350/1(-1150%)	(8) Ceejaybe 350/1, Poor maiden hurdler who was well held at Stratford (18.7f, good) 36 days ago. Significantly up in trip. 0-8 over hurdles; not at best lately; first venture beyond about 2m4f today.
10 \|PU\| (10) (450/1 -8082%) Tis But A Scratch	450 450/1(-8082%)	(10) Tis But A Scratch 450/1, Maiden who again ran well from 4 lb out of the weights when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft) 27 days ago, just failing. Thereabouts if backing that up. 0-15 over hurdles but lost out only narrowly to an unexposed one at Uttoxeter last month.

19:55 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Tis But A Scratch posted his best effort to date when a close-up second at Uttoxeter last time out and a 1lb higher mark should see him remaining competitive. However, STILETTO shades the verdict after posting a promising fourth on his seasonal bow at Warwick towards the end of May. Keiran Burke's charge was unfortunate to bump into some well-handicapped rivals last year and an elusive first win could be on the horizon. Coup De Gold is also an intriguing runner upped markedly in distance.

RUBYS REWARD has slipped to a handy mark judged on the pick of her form and is worth another chance to build on an encouraging return at Stratford on her penultimate outing. Grove Road became disappointing for Archie Watson but is potentially thrown-in if his new stable can revitalise him in a short space of time, while Stiletto and Dear Ralphy are others to consider.

Keiran Burke's STILETTO returned from a break with a good effort over a trip similar to today's a fortnight ago and gets the vote.

20:00 Fairyhouse Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Despite suffering an odds-on reversal at Limerick last time, SOUL OF SPAIN is worth another chance on better ground. The Joseph O'Brien-trained colt had looked promising as a juvenile, but does have some questions to answer now after two short-priced defeats in his early three-year-old career. A first-time tongue-tie and blinkers may aid his case in this winnable maiden. Bumper winner Ossie's Lodge has been hindered by poor jumping since going hurdling, but has to hold fair claims back on the level. He looks one of the more likely types. The once-raced Dark Oak needs to step up on her racecourse debut effort, but could be capable of better.

SOUL OF SPAIN sets a clear standard on his placed efforts in similar races and can make it fourth time lucky in this new headgear combination. Dermot Weld's Brosna Town took a step forward from his debut when fourth at Sligo last month and likely has more to offer. Jim Bolger newcomer Slaneyside is one to note in the betting.

Although again turned over at odds-on, \bSOUL OF SPAIN\ didn't do a lot wrong at Limerick where he might have bumped into a useful type

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (9/2 -64%) Clatterbridge	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(5) Clatterbridge 9/2, Point winner who left previous efforts under Rules well behind when scoring at Uttoxeter 27 days ago. May do better still, so comes into the reckoning. Made winning handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m7f); 3lb higher with Craig Nichol aboard..
7 (7) (16/1 +52%) Mrs Kinsella	16 16/1(+52%)	(7) Mrs Kinsella 16/1, Long-standing maiden. Made frame a couple of times over hurdles for present yard last summer. Didn't take to chasing thereafter and pulled up on return at Stratford recently. Others preferred. Lost her way, pulling-up in her last three starts; slipping down the weights accordingly..
2 1st (2) (5/1 +9%) Mattie Ross	5 5/1(+9%)	(2) Mattie Ross 5/1, Not fully exposed and last couple of efforts have been creditable, albeit beaten by Clatterbridge when fourth at Uttoxeter last time. Should give another good account. Fourth to tonight's rival Clatterbridge at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good/soft) latest; 2lb lower..
4 2nd (4) (6/1 +70%) Moro Rock	6 6/1(+70%)	(4) Moro Rock 6/1, Back on track sent handicapping when fifth of 11 at Wetherby (24.1f) in January but has struggled for form since and fell here last time. Has a bit to prove. Maiden (0-9); was beating a retreat when falling two out over 2m4f here (10-1) last month..
1 3rd (1) (8/1 -14%) Kapamazov	8 8/1(-14%)	(1) Kapamazov 8/1, Fair maiden who produced his best effort to date when fourth at Southwell last time and has claims if he can build on that. Couldn't sustain promising move when fourth of ten at Southwell (3m) last time; 1lb lower..
8 4th (8) (10/1 +17%) Blended Stealth	10 10/1(+17%)	(8) Blended Stealth 10/1, Long-standing maiden who has been struggling for form lately. Others make more appeal. Maiden (0-25); headgear removed on first start since wind surgery; risky off 141-day break.
9 5th (9) (7/1 -75%) Coilrock	7 7/1(-75%)	(9) Coilrock 7/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 10 in handicap hurdle (10/3) at Ludlow (23.8f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Enters calculations. Well-backed when runner-up in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow (3m) last month; a possible.
6 6th (6) (7/1 -40%) Etoile Brillante	7 7/1(-40%)	(6) Etoile Brillante 7/1, Promising type. First run since leaving Alexandra Dunn when 16/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, good to soft) 15 days ago, staying on strongly to lead close home. More to come and fancied to follow up. Scored from 5lb out of the handicap on first start for M. Wigham at Warwick (2m5f); rain?.
10 7th (10) (33/1 -32%) Belladinotte	33 33/1(-32%)	(10) Belladinotte 33/1, Yet to offer much encouragement but latest fifth in a novice hurdle at Cartmel was a small step in the right direction. Worth a market check on handicap debut. Shown precious little in four starts (2m-2m6f novice/maiden hurdles); handicap debut..
3 \|PU\| (3) (80/1 -700%) Fantomas	80 80/1(-700%)	(3) Fantomas 80/1, Scored at Hereford in March and has held his form since, running creditably in a first-time visor at Ludlow a month ago. Should be thereabouts if his jumping holds up. Hereford winner (3m1f; from 4lb lower) in March; placed at Ludlow latest; easing ground?.
11 \|PU\| (11) (100/1 -733%) Ideal De Romay	100 100/1(-733%)	(11) Ideal De Romay 100/1, Successful at the third attempt in Irish points but has little form under Rules and is up against it from out of the weights. Point winner; toiled under rules; never travelling over fences at Uttoxeter (3m) last week.

20:05 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Clatterbridge was seen in a much better light when stepping up in trip on his handicap debut, going in by a neck at Uttoxeter, and he should remain competitive off 3lb higher. However, he could come out second best to COILROCK, who had Fantomas one place behind when filling the runner-up spot over 3m at Ludlow. The seven-year-old remains on the same mark and can confirm that form to go one better. Kapamazov completes the shortlist.

ETOILE BRILLIANTE did well to make up a lot of ground late when landing a steadily-run event at Warwick recently and she's fancied to make it two from two for this yard. Clatterbridge is another last-time-out winner who deserves respect and Coilrock can feature if the headgear continues to have a positive effect.

Clatterbridge showed improvement on handicap debut at Uttoxeter but the prospect of further rain tips the scales towards KAPAMAZOV.

20:13 Cork Handicap 8f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (6/1 +70%) Positive Energy	6 6/1(+70%)	(2) Positive Energy 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, eleventh of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 55 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Makes handicap debut and big step forward needed. Not beaten far in two of three maiden starts but still has to improve tackling handicaps.
9 (9) (12/1 -33%) Galician Girl	12 12/1(-33%)	(9) Galician Girl 12/1, Winner at Dundalk in March. 14/1, creditable eighth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 8 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. AW handicap winner over this trip was short of room last time and could get involved.
12 (12) (14/1 -40%) Still Rolling	14 14/1(-40%)	(12) Still Rolling 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, respectable 4¼ lengths seventh of 16 to Signor Ferrari in handicap at this course (7f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Place possibilities. Flattered by her 3rd over 7f here and disappointing since so has to improve.
3 (3) (20/1 +0%) Rebelsontherun	20 20/1(+0%)	(3) Rebelsontherun 20/1, Winner at Dundalk in February. Twelfth of 14 in handicap there (8f, 7/1) when last seen 105 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Deadheated in a 7f Dundalk handicap but was poor over 1m there next time.
6 1st (6) (11/2 -38%) Lord Church	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(6) Lord Church 11/2, Promising individual. 1 win from 1 run this year. 4/5, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Limerick (7f, soft) 29 days ago. Merits consideration. Well backed when winning at Limerick on h'cap debut; raised 5lb and faster ground today.
1 2nd (1) (5/1 -50%) Masoun	5 5/1(-50%)	(1) Masoun 5/1, Very good second of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft, 10/1) 15 days ago, running on. Trainer going well and he holds solid claims. Disappointing fav' in blinkers at Killarney but much better at Fairyhouse since; go close.
10 3rd (10) (7/1 +50%) Martinelli	7 7/1(+50%)	(10) Martinelli 7/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable eighth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft, 15/2) 15 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Hasn't improved since tackling handicaps and was too keen in cheekpieces last time.
13 4th (13) (25/1 +38%) Grand Citadel	25 25/1(+38%)	(13) Grand Citadel 25/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 18/1) 11 days ago. Blinkers back on. Plenty to find on form. Has run respectably in low grade handicaps but has a tough task from 7lb out of the h'cap.
11 5th (11) (9/1 -38%) Zenato	9 9/1(-38%)	(11) Zenato 9/1, Good fourth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 4/1) 8 days ago, not clear run. Each-way shout. Solid runs on three of last four starts, beaten 3l at Leopardstown last time; needs more.
8 6th (8) (4/1 +67%) Avatar Jet	4 4/1(+67%)	(8) Avatar Jet 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, excellent fourth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Up in trip and needs to raise his game. Has shown ability and was 4th in a 6.5f handicap at Curragh last time; chance if staying.
7 7th (7) (11/1 -47%) Timeonourside	11 11/1(-47%)	(7) Timeonourside 11/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (10/1) at Gowran (8f, heavy) 37 days ago, keeping on well. Enters calculations. Got off the mark when winning on heavy at Gowran; raised 7lb and faster ground today.
5 8th (5) (22/1 -10%) Kiki Roberts	22 22/1(-10%)	(5) Kiki Roberts 22/1, 18/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft) 15 days ago, finding little. Has work to do. Won a sprint maiden last year but below that level over varying trips since and questions.
4 \|PU\| (4) (13/2 -8%) Signor Ferrari	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(4) Signor Ferrari 13/2, Winner here in May. 9/4, good second of 10 in claimer at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Should make his presence felt. Won over 7f here and a fine run over 1m2f since; this trip looks ideal and a player.

20:13 Cork Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MASOUN might be able to defy top weight in this very competitive affair. The Johnny Murtagh-trained bay raced in last at Fairyhouse on his most recent start, making significant ground up the inner in the home straight, eventually finishing a close second. Out of Listed winner Massinga, the 75-rated gelding might be able to go a place better now. Lord Church justified strong market support when successful at Limerick last month and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow up. An eye-catching fourth at the Curragh recently, Avatar Jet is an interesting contender with Shane Foley aboard, while others for the shortlist are course winner Signor Ferrari, Leopardstown fourth Zenato and Gowran winner Timeonourside.

LORD CHURCH justified strong support when making a winning handicap debut at Limerick last month and, with the promise of better to come, it's unlikely that a 5 lb rise will stop him in his tracks. Masoun put in a good shift when runner-up at Fairyhouse recently and he is feared most but Timeonourside, who took a step forward when emerging on top at Gowran, also merits serious consideration. Zenato is best of the rest.

Though raised 3lb for his unlucky second at Fairyhouse last time, MASOUN could be still well-handicapped as he should have won that day

20:20 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 (8) (11/1 +8%) Global Esteem	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Global Esteem 11/1, Bit below form second of 14 in novice hurdle (11/8) at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Below par on latest appearance in this sphere and he's opposable. Ran well in a couple of maiden hurdles last month and holds each-way claims.
6 (6) (66/1 -32%) Tintoretto	66 66/1(-32%)	(6) Tintoretto 66/1, Course winner. 33/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 71 days ago. This 9-y-o looks vulnerable. A long time since he went beyond 7f and returns from another break; others stronger.
4 1st (4) (5/1 -50%) Double Time	5 5/1(-50%)	(4) Double Time 5/1, Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap (7/4) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Likely to be in the thick of things off the same mark here. 0-7 on turf; ran well for Megan Jordan last autumn but he almost always pulls hard.
9 2nd (9) (20/1 -789%) Dreamrocker	20 20/1(-789%)	(9) Dreamrocker 20/1, Promising individual. Good third of 18 in handicap at York (7f, good, 10/1) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Remains open to improvement and she's a big player off the same mark. Lightly raced and did much better last time, coming home strongly over 7f; shortlisted.
1 3rd (1) (11/1 +8%) Repertoire	11 11/1(+8%)	(1) Repertoire 11/1, Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Doncaster (8f, good) 14 days ago. Just 1 lb above last winning mark and not without each-way hope. Consistent despite his age and one to consider under a jockey taking just his third ride.
10 4th (10) (9/2 +36%) Cervetto	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(10) Cervetto 9/2, Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Lingfield in January. 4/7, bit below form third of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) but that race may have come too soon. Given a break since and he's one to consider. Retains potential, having been gelded, back from four months off; goes on the shortlist.
5 5th (5) (22/1 -214%) Magical Merlin	22 22/1(-214%)	(5) Magical Merlin 22/1, 10/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago, nearest finish. Shapes as though this step up to a mile will be in his favour and he merits respect. Goes beyond 7f for the first time tonight; offered more latest and a player if staying.
7 6th (7) (6/1 +14%) Maysong	6 6/1(+14%)	(7) Maysong 6/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm, 8/1) 23 days ago, running on. Has fallen to a workable mark and couldn't rule out. 3lb below his last winning mark and has Simon Walker up, so will inevitably be popular.
2 7th (2) (12/1 +25%) Alazwar	12 12/1(+25%)	(2) Alazwar 12/1, 14/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 97 days. Significantly back up in trip and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. 6f from a wide stall no good to him when last seen but is hard to catch right now.
3 8th (3) (20/1 -25%) New Heights	20 20/1(-25%)	(3) New Heights 20/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm, 10/1) 6 days ago, missing break. Remains 4 lb above last winning mark and she's likely to find one or two good. Inclined to pull hard in two runs back but might need some help from the handicapper now.
11 9th (11) (20/1 -25%) Verona Star	20 20/1(-25%)	(11) Verona Star 20/1, 4/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 67 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Only run three times on turf; this is tougher than he's used to back from a short break.

20:20 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

DREAMROCKER caught the eye when reaching the frame in this grade over 7f at York last month and she goes off an unchanged mark. Ed Walker's four-year-old makes only her third handicap start and, with the likelihood of more to come, she looks the one to side with. Magical Merlin finished third at Brighton on his latest outing and is worth a second look tackling a mile for the first time, while New Heights remains on a workable mark.

Unexposed 4-y-o DREAMROCKER stepped up on her low-key reappearance effort when a solid third in a big-field 7f handicap at York last month and she should have more to offer back up to a mile. Double Time didn't do much wrong at Newmarket and he is second choice ahead of Magical Merlin and Maysong, while Cervetto could also have a part to play.

Cervetto (second choice) has some potential, as does DREAMROCKER (nap), who did well to finish as close as she did over 7f latest.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (2/1 -60%) King's Castle	2 2/1(-60%)	(1) King's Castle 2/1, Fairly useful performer at best on the Flat who is going the right way over hurdles, impressing in following up from Warwick with something to spare in 11-runner handicap over C&D 9 days ago. Fair Flat-racer who has struck form over hurdles lately, winning twice in good style.
6 2nd (6) (11/1 -47%) Ellerton	11 11/1(-47%)	(6) Ellerton 11/1, Ran well with his sights lowered when third at Hereford in May. Looked a real sluggard back on the level at Salisbury 9 days later but could benefit from sterner headgear (first-time visor here). 0-5 over hurdles but ran well on last month's handicap debut at Hereford; considered.
8 3rd (8) (12/1 -300%) Getmetothemoon	12 12/1(-300%)	(8) Getmetothemoon 12/1, Justified support with an improved effort after 11 weeks off in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good, 7/2) 13 days ago. Nudged up 5 lb but there's potentially more to come from her. Scored at Stratford this month, his second handicap, and is open to further progress.
10 4th (10) (28/1 -12%) Saddlers Quest	28 28/1(-12%)	(10) Saddlers Quest 28/1, Completed a hat-trick last season and has shaped as if retaining ability both outings after 7 months off, including when eighth of 11 in a stronger handicap at Ffos Las (15.8f, good) 30 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Not one to write off. Three wins (two over C&D) last summer; has a point to prove after tame effort last month.
12 5th (12) (100/1 -300%) Crews Pitch	100 100/1(-300%)	(12) Crews Pitch 100/1, Possibly still needed the run in first-time cheekpieces when sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Second stable run was much better than the first but he needs another step forward here.
4 6th (4) (66/1 -560%) Supposedtobe	66 66/1(-560%)	(4) Supposedtobe 66/1, Has been given a chance by the assesor and returned to form when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly. Not very reliable but bounce back to form with close third at Cartmel last month.
2 7th (2) (66/1 -164%) Afta Party	66 66/1(-164%)	(2) Afta Party 66/1, C&D winner who ran better than for a while when 8¼ lengths sixth of 11 to King's Castle in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good) 9 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces back on. Shock C&D winner in October and ran okay here last week; others appeal more, though.
9 8th (9) (200/1 -300%) Kilcummin	200 200/1(-300%)	(9) Kilcummin 200/1, Won a weak juvenile hurdle here in October but was pulled up next time and well held back on the Flat at Chelmsford in November. Handed a stiff-looking mark and others make more appeal. Shock 50-1 winner in October but well beaten twice since; returned from a break.
5 9th (5) (400/1 -2122%) Gavin	400 400/1(-2122%)	(5) Gavin 400/1, Landed a hat-trick around this time last year. Generally held form well thereafter and understandably looked rusty after 7 months off at Ffos Las 15 days ago. Should be much closer to form this time. Won three times in early part of last season but recent reappearance run was disappointing.
11 10th (11) (400/1 -1112%) Universal Secret	400 400/1(-1112%)	(11) Universal Secret 400/1, Modest hurdler at best who finished no better than mid-division completed starts in 2023/24. Others preferred in first-time cheekpieces. Unplaced all six starts during disappointing campaign last season; cheekpieces now tried.
13 11th (13) (350/1 -1300%) Catboy	350 350/1(-1300%)	(13) Catboy 350/1, Hinted at ability in his only outing in bumpers but has found his jumping holding him back over hurdles, including when pulled up on his handicap debut at Doncaster last time. Still unexposed, but looked unenthusiastic when pulled up on handicap debut in February.
3 12th (3) (300/1 -2900%) Bears Hug	300 300/1(-2900%)	(3) Bears Hug 300/1, Modest maiden hurdler who shaped with a bit of promise on first run since leaving J. P. Dempsey after 7 months off when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. 0-7 over hurdles in Ireland but made quite encouraging stable debut here last month.
7 13th (7) (400/1 -2757%) Penna Rossa	400 400/1(-2757%)	(7) Penna Rossa 400/1, Showed some ability remains in a first-time tongue strap on first run since leaving Camilla Poulton when creditable third of 7 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at this course (18.5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Returned from one-year absence with very respectable third here on recent stable debut.

20:25 Newton Abbot Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

KING'S CASTLE arrives here on the back of two victories and the most recent of which came over C&D nine days ago. His rider's 5lb claim largely negates the 7lb penalty that he carries and the progressive seven-year-old is hard to oppose. Getmetothemoon also scored on her latest outing at Stratford and is clearly the main threat, ahead of Supposedtobe and Ellerton.

KING'S CASTLE created a good impression in quickening clear off a steady pace over C&D last week and looks up to completing the hat-trick. Gavin should be much closer to form with a recent run under his belt, while Getmetothemoon and Saddlers Quest are others who enter calculations.

It's hard to get away from KING'S CASTLE, who is 1lb ahead of the handicapper under the penalty for last week's comfortable C&D win.

14 (14) (66/1 +0%) Uberrima Fides	66 66/1(+0%)	(14) Uberrima Fides 66/1, 50/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy) 140 days ago. Off 140 days. First run for yard after leaving Stuart Crawford. Tongue strap back on. Others more persuasive. Modest maiden under both codes; went closest in AW handicap over this trip in December.
8 1st (8) (5/2 +29%) Lady Christa	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(8) Lady Christa 5/2, Good second of 16 in handicap at this course (10f, good to soft, 6/1) 15 days ago. Should give another good account. Has twice been second over 1m2f, including here last month after 195 days off; up 4lb.
1 2nd (1) (8/1 -33%) L'un Deux Trois	8 8/1(-33%)	(1) L'un Deux Trois 8/1, 9/1, creditable third of 17 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 16 days ago, clear of rest. Merits consideration. Has won one of these in each of last three seasons; beaten 3l both starts this term.

9 4th (9) (6/1 +20%) Enquire Within	6 6/1(+20%)	(9) Enquire Within 6/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. 12/1, creditable 1½ lengths second of 21 to Tudor Manor in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, good) 28 days ago, left with too much to do. Should remain competitive. Conceded first run when second to Tudor Manor at Leopardstown and is 5lb better off.
12 5th (12) (10/1 -25%) Barrys Rock	10 10/1(-25%)	(12) Barrys Rock 10/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. 8/1, good third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Solid claims if the race doesn't come too soon. Maiden runs well here; nearest at finish when third over C&D a week ago.
13 6th (13) (11/1 +67%) Tom The Plasterer	11 11/1(+67%)	(13) Tom The Plasterer 11/1, 12/1, below form ninth of 17 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 16 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Ran well when fourth to Tudor Manor at Leopardstown; soft ground may not have suited since.
18 7th (18) (18/1 +10%) I'll Rise	18 18/1(+10%)	(18) I'll Rise 18/1, Creditable third of 10 in claimer at this course (10f, good to soft, 11/1) 15 days ago. Not dismissed for all that this is tougher. Third to pair of last-time-out winners in 1m2f claimer here; keen then so trip a concern.
17 8th (17) (66/1 -32%) Rebel Ruler	66 66/1(-32%)	(17) Rebel Ruler 66/1, 16/1, very good seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.5f, good). Off 10 months. Has a bit to prove in this sphere. Last Flat run was in 2022; fair form hurdling when last seen but been off 10 months.
16 9th (16) (150/1 -127%) Halcyon Spirit	150 150/1(-127%)	(16) Halcyon Spirit 150/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 14 in handicap at Limerick (11.2f, soft, 40/1) 29 days ago, possibly amiss. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others make more appeal. Down the field in two starts under this rider; ground may help but makes little appeal.
2 10th (2) (28/1 -367%) Dark Street	28 28/1(-367%)	(2) Dark Street 28/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in March. 17/2, good length fourth of 14 to Darkened in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 84 days ago. Seems better on AW. All four wins on AW and won over trip in March, yet to place in seven starts on turf.
3 11th (3) (13/2 -86%) Tudor Manor	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(3) Tudor Manor 13/2, Won 21-runner handicap at Leopardstown (12f, good, 11/1) 28 days ago by 1½ lengths from Enquire Within, getting first run. Should go well again. Made the breakthrough when beating 20 rivals over this trip at Leopardstown; 7lb higher.
10 12th (10) (16/1 +36%) He's Justagent	16 16/1(+36%)	(10) He's Justagent 16/1, 33/1, eighth of 16 in handicap at this C&D (good) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Stepping up to this trip did nothing for him here a week ago; headgear tried.
5 13th (5) (20/1 +0%) Darkened	20 20/1(+0%)	(5) Darkened 20/1, Latest win at Dundalk in March. Respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good, 14/1) 7 days ago. Not ruled out. Held under both codes, including over C&D a week ago, since AW win in March.
7 14th (7) (50/1 +24%) Kingsofthemidlands	50 50/1(+24%)	(7) Kingsofthemidlands 50/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Limerick (24.4f, heavy). Off 6 months. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Others make more appeal. Poor form Flat and jumps in Ireland and best watched under rookie rider after a layoff.
11 15th (11) (33/1 +18%) Pale Moonlight	33 33/1(+18%)	(11) Pale Moonlight 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving D. K. Weld when thirteenth of 17 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, soft) 16 days ago. Won at two for Dermot Weld but lost form and was let go for small money; poor on yard bow.

20:30 Fairyhouse Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BARRYS ROCK has flattered to deceive on more than one occasion but holds strong each-way claims on the basis of his recent C&D third, and the nine-year-old has seldom run a poor race at this venue. Back on his favoured terrain, a breakthrough success may finally be in the offing. Runner-up here over 1m2f last month, the Sheila Lavery-trained Lady Christa should appreciate stepping up in distance. Keithen Kennedy has been one of the finds of the season in the apprentice ranks. Enquire Within is another who has been running consistently of late, and Amy Jo Hayes has built up a good partnership with the eight-year-old mare.

TUDOR MANOR had a bit to spare when getting the better of Enquire Within in a big-field event at Leopardstown last time and he's fancied to uphold the form given he's still well treated on past efforts. Lady Christa is another obvious player.

A renewal of Leopardstown rivalry between Tudor Manor and ENQUIRE WITHIN and the latter, 5lb better off, can turn around the form

21:00 Newton Abbot NH Flat Race (Class 4) 17f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 (7) (10/1 +0%) She's Our World	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) She's Our World 10/1, September Storm mare. Closely related to bumper winner/fair hurdler Rosy World and bumper winner/poor hurdler Strike The Flint. Dam bumper winner/smart 2¾m-3m hurdle winner. Lots of appeal on paper. Dam was a very useful hurdler for these connections; no surprise if she features.
1 1st (1) (8/1 +43%) Alan De Banks	8 8/1(+43%)	(1) Alan De Banks 8/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class chaser (stayed 25f) Joncol and useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Fine Article. Yard's newcomers in bumpers usually better for a run or two. Out of a half-sister to high-class chaser Joncol; worth a glance in the betting.
2 2nd (2) (6/1 -9%) Born In The West	6 6/1(-9%)	(2) Born In The West 6/1, £24,000 3-y-o, Westerner gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Monbeg Rose. Point winner and of clear interest. Won good-ground point last month; new stable has good strike-rate in bumpers.
9 3rd (9) (80/1 -300%) Tres Bien	80 80/1(-300%)	(9) Tres Bien 80/1, Linda's Lad filly out of a modest 15f/17f hurdle winner. Unplaced both starts in point bumpers (latest Mar 16). Safely held in two point bumpers this year; stable's other runner appeals much more.
4 4th (4) (12/1 -2005%) Delta Force	12 12/1(-2005%)	(4) Delta Force 12/1, Left debut form well behind despite proving easy to back when keeping-on second at Leopardstown in March (promising winner subsequently fetched £130,000 at auction). Leading claims for in-form trainer. Irish raider; clear second at Leopardstown in March; looks the one to beat here.
5 5th (5) (400/1 -506%) Till You Can't	400 400/1(-506%)	(5) Till You Can't 400/1, €3,500 3-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Half-brother to fair 2½m hurdle winner Got Your Back and fair chaser It's Only A Number. Pulled up only start in points in February. Pulled up (albeit on soft ground) on point debut in February; makes rules debut today.
8 6th (8) (350/1 -600%) Daisy Me Rollin	350 350/1(-600%)	(8) Daisy Me Rollin 350/1, €10,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Bothwell Bridge and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Royalraise. Dam unraced. Half-sister to useful jumpers Bothwell Bridge and Royalraise; stable runs two.
3 7th (3) (400/1 -506%) Hopjes	400 400/1(-506%)	(3) Hopjes 400/1, 1,800 gns 4-y-o, from successful South African family. Brother to a South African Grade 2 Flat winner; other newcomers appeal more.
6 8th (6) (450/1 -9900%) Tuck Your Shirt In	450 450/1(-9900%)	(6) Tuck Your Shirt In 450/1, Sixties Icon gelding out of a 1¼m-17f Flat winner. 11/1, ran to a fair level on debut when third at Worcester recently, losing second close home. That had the look of a decent contest for the time of year and he's entitled to improve. Key player. Kept on well to finish third of 12 on recent debut at Worcester; each-way claims at least.

21:00 Newton Abbot NH Flat Race (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

DELTA FORCE took a big step forward from his debut effort when second at Leopardstown on his most recent start in March. The Irish raider is likely to have more improvement left to come and has to be high on the shortlist. Tuck Your Shirt In showed ability when third on his racecourse bow at Worcester earlier in the month and is likely to be in the mix once again. Others to note are Born In The West and She's Our World.

DELTA FORCE was much improved on his second start when chasing home a promising sort at Leopardstown 3 months ago and looks the way to go over Tuck Your Shirt In, who shaped well at Worcester, and newcomer She's Our World.

Leopardstown runner-up DELTA FORCE sets a good form standard here and ought to open his account.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

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

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

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