13:10 Curragh Handicap 9f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (9/4 +10%) Sharinay	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(4) Sharinay 9/4, After 7 months off (gelded) and with hood applied, left his debut form behind when landing 18-runner maiden at Cork in April. Progressed again when finding only a fellow improver too strong in handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm) next time. Major player. Naas second looks smart form now; should stay and big player if he does.
1 2nd (1) (5/1 +17%) Arabic Legend	5 5/1(+17%)	(1) Arabic Legend 5/1, Ran well on first outing since leaving Andrew Balding when fourth in an Epsom listed race (10.1f) in April, before possibly failing to stay the longer trip in Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f) last time. Not written off back down in distance as he goes handicapping. Came up short in Derby trials; back in trip for handicap debut; has to be respected.
7 3rd (7) (8/1 -14%) Thor's Hammer	8 8/1(-14%)	(7) Thor's Hammer 8/1, Put his experience to good use when battling well for success in 5-runner maiden at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 47 days ago. Can give another good account account as he goes up in trip for his first start in a handicap. Scrambled home at Killarney; rain-softened ground to suit but others may have more scope.
5 4th (5) (9/2 +25%) Soldier's Empire	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(5) Soldier's Empire 9/2, Successful at Dundalk on final start in 2023 and has run at least as well both starts this year, third of 14 in minor event at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Can make his presence felt back in handicap company. Didn't seem to get home over extended 1m1f at Gowran; stamina remains a possible issue.
2 5th (2) (18/1 -112%) Princess Child	18 18/1(-112%)	(2) Princess Child 18/1, Won 3 minor events at La Zarzuela, Madrid, in 2023, before finishing a good second to the Ralph Beckett-trained Zoum Zoum in listed race at Saint-Cloud (7f, heavy) on final start that year. Off 7 months ahead of first start since leaving L. Lemiere. Ex Spanish-trained filly, second in Saint-Clud Listed in November; 80,000euros buy since.
6 6th (6) (10/1 -67%) Ridhaz	10 10/1(-67%)	(6) Ridhaz 10/1, Confirmed his debut promise 8 months on when winning a Leopardstown maiden (8f) in May. Took another step foward when fifth of 14 in minor event at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago, albeit without carrying much win threat. Makes his handicap bow. Seemingly owner's second-choice but can't be ruled out on handicap debut.
8 7th (8) (33/1 -106%) Signor Ferrari	33 33/1(-106%)	(8) Signor Ferrari 33/1, Finally off the mark in handicap at Cork (7f) in May and ran at least as well when second in a Fairyhouse claimer next time (10f, good to soft) next time. Saddle slipped when pulled up back at Cork 16 days ago, but he has work to do with hood now added. Excuses last time; hood now tried but tough ask from 6lb out of handicap.
3 8th (3) (17/2 -70%) Formal Display	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(3) Formal Display 17/2, Off the mark at the third attempt at Dundalk last year and, after 7 months off, ran creditably when 5¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Tarawa in listed race at Leopardstown (9f, good) 24 days ago, despite meeting trouble on more than one occasion. Respected on handicap debut. Respectable recent comeback run over this trip but more likely needed on handicap debut.

13:10 Curragh Handicap 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FORMAL DISPLAY boasts a top-class pedigree, being out of a Group 1-winning mare and a sibling to smart types, and Ger Lyons' colt makes plenty of appeal on handicap debut, having not received a clear passage in a Listed event at Leopardstown recently against older horses. Sharinay has proven handicap form and had his recent Naas run significantly boosted by the winner, Chicago Critic, subsequently finishing third in Royal Ascot's Jersey Stakes last week. Princess Child has smart form in her native France and while lacking a recent outing, she finished second at Listed level on her previous run in November.

SHARINAY showed improved form when runner-up to Chicago Critic (third in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot next time) at Naas on his handicap debut in May and he can continue his progress with this longer trip to suit. He is taken to get the better of Formal Display, who remains with potential as he goes handicapping, while Soldier's Empire could also be in the mix.

A clear second to a subsequent Jersey Stakes third at Naas last time when conceding weight makes SHARINAY the one to beat

13:20 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (6/4 +8%) Gale Mahler	1.5 6/4(+8%)	(6) Gale Mahler 6/4, Bred to stay well but clearly not short on speed as she won a brace of bumpers fitted with cheekpieces in the spring. Continued the good work on hurdles debut at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago (value for extra) and there's plenty more to come. Won two bumpers last month and was quite impressive on recent hurdling debut.
7 2nd (7) (5/2 -25%) Flying Fortune	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(7) Flying Fortune 5/2, Dual-bumper winner who ran her best race over hurdles switched to a handicap when second in 6-runner event at Southwell (20.4f) in March. Open to further improvement and has leading claims. Close second on handicap debut in March; has good chance at the wrights here.
1 3rd (1) (350/1 -12627%) Paddy De Pole	350 350/1(-12627%)	(1) Paddy De Pole 350/1, Lightly-raced sort who has improved plenty in handicaps in recent months, defying another small rise in the weights when bringing up the hat-trick at Hereford (19.7f). Third from revised mark upped to 25.8f last time and he can make his presence felt. Won three good-ground handicaps this spring; leading contender back in novice company.
2 4th (2) (200/1 -3900%) Speed Davis	200 200/1(-3900%)	(2) Speed Davis 200/1, Irish/point bumper winner who landed maiden at Musselburgh (17.4f) in April. Solid efforts under a penalty both starts since and no reason why he won't give his running again. Won 2m1f Musselburgh maiden in April and ran well in defeat over 2m3f last month.
5 5th (5) (400/1 -1500%) Scottish King	400 400/1(-1500%)	(5) Scottish King 400/1, Maiden pointer but showed something to work on both starts over hurdles during the spring. Likely has a bigger performance in him at some point. Placed over C&D this month but another minor role is probably his best hope today.
4 6th (4) (500/1 -150%) Lucky Stripe	500 500/1(-150%)	(4) Lucky Stripe 500/1, Yorgunnabelucky gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler So Many Roads. Dam, winning pointer, half-sister to fairly useful 3m hurdle winner Teeton Babysham. Unplaced completed starts in points and never a factor in a 2m novice recently. Maiden pointer who struggled when 200-1 for hurdling debut here (2m7f) this month.
8 7th (8) (300/1 -200%) Kuma Beach	300 300/1(-200%)	(8) Kuma Beach 300/1, Well held in bumper/brace of maiden hurdles. Made reasonably encouraging hurdle debut last month but next run was a backward step.
3 \|PU\| (3) (500/1 -150%) Gentlieman Ross	500 500/1(-150%)	(3) Gentlieman Ross 500/1, Hasn't completed in 2 Taunton contests. Pulled up when a big-priced outsider at Taunton in March.

13:20 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

PADDY DE POLE is likely to prove popular for the Paul Nicholls team after winning three handicaps before a good third at Fontwell, when weakening late on over 3m2f. He returns to novice company over shorter and looks the one they all have to beat, with Gale Mahler the obvious danger in receipt of 11lb. Two bumper victories and a maiden hurdle success mean Adrian Keatley's mare is a major player. Southwell handicap second Flying Fortune could chase them home.

GALE MAHLER carried on the excellent work from bumpers when a smooth scorer at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago and, sure to progress, she can maintain her winning sequence. Flying Fortune is a major player back in a novice, with Paddy de Pole also considered.

The suggestion is FLYING FORTUNE, who switches back to a novice race after going close on her handicap debut in March.

13:30 Cartmel Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 (3) (12/1 -100%) Nellie Bluesky	12 12/1(-100%)	(3) Nellie Bluesky 12/1, Modest form at best in a trio in bumpers but a different proposition sent hurdling upped to 20.2f when springing a surprise at Perth last month. That form has taken a few knocks since and this drop back in distance may not be ideal. No fluke about her Perth win but she does appear to have more on her plate here.
7 1st (7) (10/3 -21%) Letterston Lily	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(7) Letterston Lily 10/3, Sister to a bumper winner and didn't need to improve on previous form to match that feat at Southwell 3 weeks ago, Form of that nothing to get carried away with but that's a good platform for her hurdles career. Nicely progressive in bumpers and bred to have a future over hurdles.
4 2nd (4) (11/2 -340%) Not Now Nathaniel	5.5 11/2(-340%)	(4) Not Now Nathaniel 11/2, Debut bumper winner who also made a successful start over hurdles (fitted with a hood) in 4-runner novice at Aintree (16.5f) last month. Looked slightly more straightforward when following up at Bangor and her limit has not yet been reached. Major claims. Useful bumper form and has gone 2-2 in a hood over hurdles, easily both times.
1 3rd (1) (12/1 -300%) Hard As Nails	12 12/1(-300%)	(1) Hard As Nails 12/1, Dual-bumper winner who went with plenty of zest when making third hurdles start a winning one in uncomplicated fashion at Southwell last month. Probably improved a little again when runner-up under a penalty at Newton Abbot and she should be in the mix. Dual bumper winner who is already looking a consistent hurdler; solid form claims.
8 4th (8) (500/1 -400%) Raincloud	500 500/1(-400%)	(8) Raincloud 500/1, Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Pillar of Hercules. Poor maiden on Flat and pulled up on hurdles debut in April. Poor on the Flat; 200-1 when pulled up on hurdling debut having jumped poorly.
5 5th (5) (100/1 -614%) Baby Evie	100 100/1(-614%)	(5) Baby Evie 100/1, First foal of a fair 2m chase winner. Failed to complete both starts in Irish points, falling last month but represents a yard with an excellent record here. Tongue tie on. Pulled up on pointing debut and was well held when falling in her second run.
6 \|U\| (6) (500/1 -400%) Apples Destiny	500 500/1(-400%)	(6) Apples Destiny 500/1, Tailed off in an Aintree bumper in November and fared no better sent hurdling 2 months later. Tailed off in a bumper (66-1) and pulled up on her switch to hurdling (200-1).

13:30 Cartmel Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Donald McCain has a good recent record in this contest and NOT NOW NATHANIEL should make another bold bid for the yard. A winner at Aintree in May, she landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Bangor on her latest start and is taken to defy a double penalty. Hard As Nails ran well again at Newton Abbot when carrying a penalty for an earlier success at Southwell, while bumper winner Letterston Lily is an interesting newcomer to hurdles.

A reasonable race of its type with a quartet of previous hurdles winners and a bumper scorer in opposition. Preference is for NOT NOW NATHANIEL, who isn't the easiest of conveyances but has Brian Hughes on again in her quest for a hat-trick and she may have too much speed for these. Jumping Susie and Hard As Nails are feared most.

The 4yo NOT NOW NATHANIEL holds a couple of her rivals on their bumper clashes and she's made a seamless transition to hurdling.

13:35 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 (7) (12/1 -140%) Musical Diva	12 12/1(-140%)	(7) Musical Diva 12/1, C&D winner. 5/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago so needs to get back on track. Front-runner, so couldn't have done any worse than stall 8; won't mind being back on AW.
3 1st (3) (11/10 +45%) Fidelius	1.1 11/10(+45%)	(3) Fidelius 11/10, Winner at Chelmsford City in May. Challenged wide when fourth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Bold showing is on the cards eased 1 lb. Consistent; has been found the ideal opening back on the AW and there won't be any excuses.
6 2nd (6) (28/1 -133%) Smooth Silesie	28 28/1(-133%)	(6) Smooth Silesie 28/1, Latest win at Nottingham in May. Fourteenth of 19 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good, 16/1) 14 days ago. Not taken lightly at these weights if back on her A-game. Had plenty of racing last year and this; some way down the pecking order.
8 3rd (8) (100/1 -400%) Diligent Henry	100 100/1(-400%)	(8) Diligent Henry 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 25/1) 58 days ago. Has work to do. Well held all four starts; early days with him but he's hard to recommend.
2 4th (2) (150/1 -838%) Kinnigoli Kid	150 150/1(-838%)	(2) Kinnigoli Kid 150/1, 22/1, last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Hood on 1st time. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Perhaps the first-time hood will help him settle, but a leap of faith is required.
5 5th (5) (40/1 -1233%) Via Blanca	40 40/1(-1233%)	(5) Via Blanca 40/1, Latest win at Southwell in March. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 5 in handicap (7/2) at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time now and needs considering. Won't mind being back on the AW in another new form of headgear; holds claims.
1 6th (1) (450/1 -4400%) Hint Of The Jungle	450 450/1(-4400%)	(1) Hint Of The Jungle 450/1, C&D winner. 10/1, last of 5 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) 16 days ago so needs to bounce back. Struggled this year; this is a touch easier back on Tapeta but he has it all to prove now.
4 \|U\| (4) (7/1 -56%) Persian Blue	7 7/1(-56%)	(4) Persian Blue 7/1, Off 6 months before a below-par fifth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 11 days ago. Hood back on and can take a step forward. Often buzzy but has the ability to win off this mark if things pan out early from stall 7.

13:35 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

MUSICAL DIVA took a hefty rise in the handicap after she landed a brace on the all-weather in January but she continued to run well until the turf season got under way. David O'Meara's filly, who returns to the scene of the first of those victories, rates an appealing option back on Tapeta from just 4lb above her last winning mark. Persian Blue is feared representing an in-form yard, while Via Blanca also appeals with first-time blinkers added.

FIDELIUS didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Windsor last time and rates just the pick at these weights so edges the vote. Via Blanca is feared most, especially if the fitting of blinkers ekes out some improvement. Smotth Silesie and Persian Blue can also have a say in this very open contest.

This mark looks within range for FIDELIUS, who won't mind being back on the AW, and he's preferred to Via Blanca.

13:40 Curragh Group 2 6f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (25/1 -25%) The Parthenon	25 25/1(-25%)	(5) The Parthenon 25/1, Kingman colt who made a highly promising start pitched into the deep end when 1½ lengths fifth of 7 to Arizona Blaze in Marble Hill Stakes over C&D. Didn't have to improve when landing odds in maiden at the Gowran 2 weeks ago but looks stable third string on riding arrangements. Saw 7f out well at Gowran, will need a strong pace here dropped in trip.
2 1st (2) (9/1 -157%) Henri Matisse	9 9/1(-157%)	(2) Henri Matisse 9/1, Wootton Bassett colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Tenebrism and useful 2-y-o 5.7f/6f winner Statuette. Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in C&D maiden 5 weeks ago, getting up on the nod. More needed here but sure to improve, perhaps markedly so. Good attitude for debut C&D win last month; lot more likely required here.
6 2nd (6) (9/2 +18%) The Strikin Viking	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(6) The Strikin Viking 9/2, 65,000 gns 2-y-o, Inns of Court colt. Half-brother to winner up to 7f Chorlton Lane. Dam unraced from family of top-class 7f-1½m winner Azamour. Created a fine impression first-time out when thumping his rivals from the front in a good time in maiden at York 2 weeks ago. Interesting contender. Impressive recent York maiden winner a supplementary entry an interesting contender.
1 3rd (1) (7/1 -40%) Arizona Blaze	7 7/1(-40%)	(1) Arizona Blaze 7/1, Knew what was required when justifying favouritism at the Curragh in March and having finished second to Whistlejacket in listed company he regained the winning thread in the Marble Hill over C&D. Good third in Norfolk at Royal Ascot since and should go well again if this doesn't come too soon. C&D winner and recent Norfolk third a major player.
7 4th (7) (11/8 +31%) Tunbridge Wells	1.375 11/8(+31%)	(7) Tunbridge Wells 11/8, Brother to smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Blackbeard and looked a good prospect himself when confirming debut promise to land odds in C&D novice 25 days ago. Runner-up that day has since boosted that form at Royal Ascot. Headgear on. Leading player. C&D win franked since; the Ballydoyle pick and a big player.
3 5th (3) (5/1 +55%) Principality	5 5/1(+55%)	(3) Principality 5/1, Calyx colt who confirmed debut promise when comfortably landing the odds in Goodwood novice 3 weeks ago. This much tougher but will go on improving and he had 3 subsequent winners behind him at Goodwood. Quite taking Goodwood winner upped in grade but every chance he could be up to it.

13:40 Curragh Group 2 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TUNBRIDGE WELLS showed promise on debut when runner-up at Navan before going one better here last month at very short odds. The runner-up subsequently finished second in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and the full-brother to Blackbeard is expected to progress further, especially in first-time cheekpieces. Arizona Blaze was himself placed at Royal Ascot, finishing third in the Norfolk, and had previously won the Marble Hill over C&D. His consistency to date is likely to stand him in good stead, while Principality was beaten by one who followed up under a penalty on his debut at Newmarket. He won decisively at Goodwood, from which the third has won subsequently, and he is of interest stepping up in grade.

TUNBRIDGE WELLS ran out an impressive winner when beating subsequent Queen Mary runner-up Mighty Eriu over C&D here earlier this month so looks the one to beat. Marble Hill winner Arizona Blaze is an obvious threat if fully recovered from his good third at Royal Ascot, while The Strikin Viking must be respected having made all in a good time in a maiden at York.

C&D winner TUNBRIDGE WELLS gets the vote in a strong renewal, The Strikin Viking a likely major threat

13:50 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (9/4 +0%) Riskintheground	2.25 9/4(+0%)	(5) Riskintheground 9/4, Fair winning hurdler who has bettered that form dropped back in trip over fences on his last 2 starts, making it back-to-back wins when scoring at Fakenham (21.2f, good) at the beginning of the month. Respected in his hat-trick bid. Struck form and won twice over 2m5f this spring; might still be on the upgrade.
3 2nd (3) (11/2 +66%) Dripsey Moon	5.5 11/2(+66%)	(3) Dripsey Moon 11/2, Dual point winner who looked potentially useful when making a successful hurdling debut at Perth (20.2f) last summer. Didn't go on from that effort subsequently, but he's not written off as he goes chasing on first start since leaving John McConnell. Yet to progress from last summer's winning hurdle debut; with new yard for chase debut.
2 3rd (2) (16/1 -611%) Will Carver	16 16/1(-611%)	(2) Will Carver 16/1, Pulled up over hurdles on his final 2 starts last season, but left those efforts behind sent chasing when making most in handicap at Cartmel (21.2f, good to soft) last month, jumping soundly in the main. Capable of another bold bid. Back in prime form when dominating from the front on chasing debut at Cartmel in May.
1 4th (1) (80/1 -4155%) Hyland	80 80/1(-4155%)	(1) Hyland 80/1, Bred to be a better chaser and, having developed into a useful hurdler last season, made a winning start over fences in handicap at Southwell (20.4f, good) 19 days ago. His main market rival unseated last time, but he's still a major player with improvement to come. Very good start to chasing career when eased-down winner at Southwell this month.
4 5th (4) (150/1 -1567%) Peking Rose	150 150/1(-1567%)	(4) Peking Rose 150/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler who has run respectably when making the frame both starts this season, in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 10 at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Has something to find as he makes his chase debut. In fair form over hurdles this spring and makes chasing debut from a good mark.

13:50 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Will Carver made the best possible start to his career over fences at Cartmel but he may have to give way to stable companion HYLAND, presumably the pick of Nicky Henderson's stable jockey Nico De Boinville and a comfortable winner on his own chasing bow at Southwell with the promise of more to come. Riskintheground has an experience edge and is another who could well get involved in the finish.

Having finished a good second over hurdles in April, HYLAND was a commanding winner at Southwell on his chasing debut 19 days ago and he can build on his latest effort to score again. Stablemate Will Carver also made a successful start over fences at Cartmel last month and is feared most, ahead of Riskintheground.

Dan Skelton's runner RISKINTHEGROUND made good progress in the spring and is taken to complete a hat-trick.

14:00 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
14 1st (14) (11/1 -83%) City Derby	11 11/1(-83%)	(14) City Derby 11/1, Gained a deserved success in 6-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (8/15) 32 days ago by ½ length from Boomslang, just holding on. Not taken lightly despite a 4 lb rise in the weights. Has revived over C&D since wind op; back up 4lb but plenty of old form was better still.
10 2nd (10) (16/1 +0%) Where's Bunny	16 16/1(+0%)	(10) Where's Bunny 16/1, On a losing sequence but she recorded a good fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (21.6f, good to soft) when last seen out 9 months ago. Tongue strap back on and needs to hit the ground running for her new stable.. Ex-Irish; last won in 2022; none too consistent last year; new yard is notable here.
7 3rd (7) (7/1 -40%) Solly Attwell	7 7/1(-40%)	(7) Solly Attwell 7/1, Got off the mark in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Hiked up 11 lb but still in the mix. Off the mark in Tipperary handicap (3m, good to yielding) in May latest; cheekpieces today.
2 4th (2) (50/1 -213%) Tupelo Mississippi	50 50/1(-213%)	(2) Tupelo Mississippi 50/1, Scored at Kelso in January but only fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, good, 8/1) 16 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles with more needed in first-time blinkers. Some changes today, including back from chasing to hurdling first time since March 2021.
5 5th (5) (11/2 -38%) Faithfulflyer	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(5) Faithfulflyer 11/2, On a hat-trick after recent 2m4f handicap wins at Kelso and Uttoxeter (19.9f, good) 24 days ago. Posted a career best on latter occasion 24 days ago so he's a player despite a 9 lb weights rise. Back to form for Kelso win and better than ever to follow up at Uttoxeter, both on good.
12 6th (12) (20/1 +20%) Lone Star	20 20/1(+20%)	(12) Lone Star 20/1, Not proving the easiest to catch right and only seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) 16 days ago. Merits consideration though if back on her A-game. Won five handicaps two seasons back and has run creditably on occasions since.
13 7th (13) (16/1 -14%) Vocal Duke	16 16/1(-14%)	(13) Vocal Duke 16/1, Course winner who hinted at a revival after five months off when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 32 days ago. Very much one to consider with that run under his belt. Has not sparked that often in that last two seasons but close up over C&D on latest outing.
4 8th (4) (25/1 -257%) Ciel De Neige	25 25/1(-257%)	(4) Ciel De Neige 25/1, Smart chaser at his peak for Willie Mullins but he's yet to fire for current yard, though not totally disgraced when fourth of 8 in handicap chase here (17.3f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Needs to build on it switched to hurdles. Nothing like as good lately but way down weights; first race away from fences since 2021.
8 9th (8) (100/1 -525%) Balally Park	100 100/1(-525%)	(8) Balally Park 100/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Thurles (20.6f, soft) 117 days ago on his final run for Thomas Cooper. Makes yard/handicap debut with more required. Well bred but no serious impact in his six races for Tom Cooper in Ireland; handicap debut.
1 10th (1) (33/1 -230%) Our Sam	33 33/1(-230%)	(1) Our Sam 33/1, Course winner who posted a creditable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle here (25.4f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Needs considering. Won three last July-October, two here, but all were over further and on good to soft/soft.
6 11th (6) (100/1 -900%) Clonbury Bridge	100 100/1(-900%)	(6) Clonbury Bridge 100/1, Resumed winning ways at Cork in March but a below form twelfth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good to soft) 61 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Ended losing run over 2m4f in the mud at Cork in March; well beaten in better race latest.
3 12th (3) (50/1 -213%) Accidental Rebel	50 50/1(-213%)	(3) Accidental Rebel 50/1, Useful hurdler at best for Fergal O'Brien, winning 4 times from 6 starts in the 2022/23 campaign. However, absent for 14 months subsequently and well below par in handicap hurdles at Perth (2) and Hexham for new stable this summer. Back for new yard in April after 418 days off; latest was step back in the right direction.
9 13th (9) (100/1 -525%) Alqamar	100 100/1(-525%)	(9) Alqamar 100/1, Course winner but tried in blinkers for 1st time in this code when only ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (25.4f, good to soft) 34 days ago. It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2021. 3-11 at Cartmel but all three of those wins were in the summer of 2021.

14:00 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Plenty with a chance in an open renewal, including last year's runner-up CITY DERBY. He can race off a 7lb lower mark this time, despite scoring over C&D last month, and should be thereabouts at the finish once again. Ciel De Neige hinted at a return to form over fences last time and can race off a 10lb lower mark back over timber, while the progressive Faithfulflyer has been raised 9lb after landing a double at Uttoxeter but can still figure.

BOOMSLANG rates the pick of these weights so gets the vote provided he is none the worse for his successful run here on Friday. Vocal Duke looks primed for a bold showing on the back of his C&D third last time out. Recent scorers Faithfulflyer and City Derby must enter calculations too in this competitive handicap.

This looks competitive but SOLLY ATTWELL (nap), Faithfulflyer, Ciel De Neige and City Derby make up the shortlist.

14:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (4/1 +33%) Rogue King	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) Rogue King 4/1, Fair form. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Beverley (1½m, good to firm) 22 days ago. First-time visor replaces cheekpieces. Very close 3rd (1m4f) in first-time cheekpieces; not so good since and switches to a visor.
4 2nd (4) (11/2 -22%) All Greek To Me	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(4) All Greek To Me 11/2, Caught the eye in his qualifying runs. Failed to make the expected progress when third of 5 on Yarmouth handicap debut (11.5f, good to soft) 34 days ago but it's still early days. Cheekpieces are added now. Closer on handicap debut (11.4f) but not by much; needs to improve in headgear first time.
1 3rd (1) (7/1 -133%) Implacable	7 7/1(-133%)	(1) Implacable 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, eighth of 13 in maiden at Haydock (1¼m, good) 24 days ago, not knocked about. Likely improver now handicapping over longer trips. Dam fairly useful 1m2f/1m4f; could have a big say upped in trip for this handicap debut.
2 4th (2) (11/1 -340%) Warbler	11 11/1(-340%)	(2) Warbler 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Kempton (1½m) 18 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Big player. Second of seven from the rear on handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW); tongue tied now.
3 5th (3) (40/1 -900%) Bradman	40 40/1(-900%)	(3) Bradman 40/1, C&D winner. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m, 7/2). Off 97 days. Back up in trip. Off over 3 months; probably thereabouts but may be vulnerable to something less exposed.
6 6th (6) (200/1 -1900%) Normandy Vista	200 200/1(-1900%)	(6) Normandy Vista 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (1½m, good to firm, 12/1) 9 days ago, weakening when hampered. Visor on first time. Well held on all four starts, latest his handicap debut (1m4f) nine days ago; headgear now.

14:10 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

WARBLER was a commendable second at Kempton on her handicap debut and appeals strongly in her bid to go one better. Dropped in class and reverting to Tapeta, combined with George Bass claiming 3lb, the pieces gel to form an appealing case for support. All Greek To Me is a potential improver now he steps up slightly in trip, while C&D winner Bradman is noted given his proven effectiveness at this venue.

IMPLACABLE appeals as one who can do better in handicaps and is preferred to recent Kempton runner-up Warbler. All Greek To Me remains one who could have a bigger performance in him and should also have a say.

Handicap newcomer IMPLACABLE has shown promise and is likely to prove well suited by the longer trip. Warbler is next best.

14:15 Curragh Listed 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (7/2 +30%) My Mate Alfie	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(8) My Mate Alfie 7/2, Useful gelding. Good 1¼ lengths third of 6 to Bucanero Fuerte in Lacken Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good to firm, 8/1) 42 days ago. Trainer going well. On the upgrade recently. Recent Naas third his best yet; this probably an easier task so should be thereabouts.
4 2nd (4) (13/2 -86%) Ano Syra	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(4) Ano Syra 13/2, Smart mare. Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 12 lengths last of 9 to Clarendon House in listed race at Cork (5f, good, 7/2) 16 days ago. That clearly wasn't her running and she's a major player if bouncing back (third in Group 2 over C&D prior to that). Greenlands third puts her in the mix but poor run since raises doubts.
3 3rd (3) (15/2 +25%) Tango Flare	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(3) Tango Flare 15/2, Fourth in a big-field C&D handicap in May. 5/6, didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner minor event at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 23 days ago by ½ length from Dandyville. Cheekpieces added. Recent Fairyhouse winner has cheekpieces on now; needs to improve to play leading role.
7 4th (7) (13/2 +54%) Jakajaro	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(7) Jakajaro 13/2, Useful gelding. C&D winner. Latest win at Dundalk in March. Creditable 3½ lengths third of 9 to Clarendon House in listed race (10/1) at Cork (5f, good) 16 days ago. Back to optimum trip and solid place claims at least.
1 5th (1) (11/8 +31%) Commanche Falls	1.375 11/8(+31%)	(1) Commanche Falls 11/8, Smart gelding. C&D winner. Best effort this season when 2¾ lengths second of 8 to Believing in listed race at Haydock (5f, good to firm, 11/1) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Big player at this level. Last year's winner showed timely return to form latest; big player.
5 6th (5) (40/1 +0%) Pink Sorrel	40 40/1(+0%)	(5) Pink Sorrel 40/1, Useful filly. Course winner. Respectable third of 6 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 11/1) 16 days ago. Big career best needed. Maiden winner here a year ago but no obvious chance on recent handicap form.
6 7th (6) (250/1 +0%) Sister Lola	250 250/1(+0%)	(6) Sister Lola 250/1, Modest mare. Thirty eight runs since last win in 2021. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (10/1) at Dundalk (6f). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving James McAuley. Easy to look elsewhere. Four-time AW winner but operating at basement level nowadays; no chance.

14:15 Curragh Listed 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Seven-year-old COMMANCHE FALLS hasn't won since last September but returned to form recently and reverts to this distance, over which all 12 of his wins have come. His biggest success was a Group 3 last July and, while well held at Haydock recently, the winner subsequently finished fourth in both of Royal Ascot's Group 1 sprints. Dual course winner Ano Syra finished third in the course-and-distance Group 2 Greenlands Stakes last month. That was probably a career-best effort but she disappointed subsequently at Cork. Three-year-old My Mate Alfie has progressed well this year and is another to bear in mind.

COMMANCHE Falls looked on the way back when runner-up in this grade at Haydock last time and he's fancied to successfully concede weight all round. Ano Syra ran a shocker at Cork but is very dangerous on these terms, with My Mate Alfie another to consider.

Last year's winner COMMANCHE FALLS, who showed a timely return to form at Haydock last time and can score again

14:25 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 2) 16f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
11 1st (11) (17/2 -6%) Coastguard Station	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(11) Coastguard Station 17/2, Scored at Fakenham in April and recorded a good second of 10 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, good, 4/1) 53 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts once more. In good nick this spring but others here have more compelling form.
1 2nd (1) (17/2 -113%) Fringill Dike	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(1) Fringill Dike 17/2, C&D winner who also landed 11-runner handicap chase at Bangor (17.4f, good) 43 days ago. Holds very good form claims. Won comfortably at Bangor last month and now 4-6 over fences; must be considered.
10 3rd (10) (10/1 -150%) Breizh River	10 10/1(-150%)	(10) Breizh River 10/1, Has created a very good impression since sent chasing, landing handicaps at Hexham and Bangor (17.4f, good) this summer. Well on top at the finish last time so looks the one to beat despite a 9 lb weights hike. Upped significant in grade here but is 2-2 over fences and could easily have more to offer.
9 4th (9) (80/1 -700%) Opening Bid	80 80/1(-700%)	(9) Opening Bid 80/1, Won 5 times over fences last term and he got back on track when second of 5 in handicap chase here (20.9f, good) 24 days ago. Down in trip but he enters calculations. Gave good account over C&D this month but faces hot competition for the lead today.
5 5th (5) (250/1 -658%) Sir Tivo	250 250/1(-658%)	(5) Sir Tivo 250/1, Failed to come on for reappearance when eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Bangor (16.7f, good) 22 days ago. Switches to chasing with more required. Has very good strike-rate over fences and is back on his last winning mark.
8 6th (8) (200/1 -1329%) Issuing Authority	200 200/1(-1329%)	(8) Issuing Authority 200/1, Off 4 months before a below-par fifth of 8 to Al Zaraqaan in handicap chase at Cartmel (17.3f, good to soft) 34 days ago, folding. Others more persuasive. Raced too close to hot pace on latest outing; may still have potential.
12 7th (12) (300/1 -1775%) Cracking Destiny	300 300/1(-1775%)	(12) Cracking Destiny 300/1, Shaped as if in need of the run when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, good to soft) 35 days ago. This veteran shouldn't be underestimated back chasing withh that run under his belt Safely held off lower hurdle mark last month and probably vulnerable to younger legs here.
7 8th (7) (400/1 -7173%) Frere D'armes	400 400/1(-7173%)	(7) Frere D'armes 400/1, Failed to build on earlier promise when only eighth of 10 in handicap chase (10/3) at Kelso (17.1f, good) 53 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time now after a wind op with something to prove. On good mark; dangerous if combination of wind op and blinkers enables return to form.
4 9th (4) (150/1 -1150%) Onemorefortheroad	150 150/1(-1150%)	(4) Onemorefortheroad 150/1, A dual chase winner last season but ridden too aggressively when sixth of 8 to Al Zaraqaan in handicap chase at Cartmel (17.3f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Went off too hard on latest outing; contender if judged on earlier efforts.
13 10th (13) (200/1 -1150%) Fearless	200 200/1(-1150%)	(13) Fearless 200/1, Failed to build on his reappearance third when only sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (16f, good) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces refitted and needs to bounce back. Close third at Kelso two starts ago but has become very unreliable.
6 11th (6) (250/1 -1983%) Sacre Coeur	250 250/1(-1983%)	(6) Sacre Coeur 250/1, A three-time chase winner last season who got back on track when third of 6 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (16.3f, good) 16 days ago. Can go well again. Keen-going front-runner; not quite at best on last two outings and others appeal more.
2 12th (2) (350/1 -6264%) Al Zaraqaan	350 350/1(-6264%)	(2) Al Zaraqaan 350/1, C&D winner who posted a career best when bagging 8-runner handicap chase (4/1) at Cartmel (17.3f, good to soft) 34 days ago, quickening clear. Not taken lightly despite a 6 lb weights rise. Came from behind to win comfortably at Cartmel last month; now 5-7 over fences.
3 13th (3) (80/1 -300%) A Different Kind	80 80/1(-300%)	(3) A Different Kind 80/1, Course winner but he came in only eighth of 11 to Fringill Dike in handicap chase at Bangor (17.4f, good) 43 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Did not show a great deal on his two outings this spring; needs to get back in the groove.

14:25 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Al Zaraqaan is improving rapidly, winning for the fifth time over fences by six lengths at Cartmel, and he has a one-from-one record over C&D. He can go well again, but Jedd O'Keeffe's top-weight FRINGILL DIKE won with something up his sleeve at Bangor and might be able to shrug off a 7lb rise in the handicap. A Different Kind wasn't at his best behind the selection last time out, but may be worth considering for the places.

BREIZH RIVER hasn't looked back since sent over fences and can rattle off a hat-trick on the back of his impressive Bangor victory despite being hit hard by the official assessor. Fringill Dike also arrives at the top of his game so this C&D scorer should ensure Paul Robson's 6-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Coastguard Station, Cracking Destiny and Al Zaraqaan are others to consider in this cracking handicap.

A hot 2m handicap chase likely to be run at a furious pace. FRERE D'ARMES had a wind op in May and might strike in first-time blinkers.

14:35 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (3/1 -9%) Saint Bibiana	3 3/1(-9%)	(1) Saint Bibiana 3/1, Proved suited by the step up in trip when recording a first win over hurdles at Stratford (26.4f) in May and progressed again when following up at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good) 25 days ago. Leading contender as she bids for the hat-trick. Back-to-back handicaps wins over 3m2f at Stratford and Newton Abbot; tight tracks suit.
8 2nd (8) (80/1 -700%) Jimli's Cave	80 80/1(-700%)	(8) Jimli's Cave 80/1, Has gone the wrong way from his hurdling debut effort, faring no better in first-time cheekpieces when well beaten in handicap at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) in April. Step up in trip not enough to tempt. Tailed off in his two handicaps in Ireland (2m3f/2m4f) and has no obvious form claims.
6 3rd (6) (16/1 -100%) Balkotic	16 16/1(-100%)	(6) Balkotic 16/1, Having dropped below his last winning mark, shaped encouragingly after 4 months off when 3¼ lengths third of 9 to the reopposing Rumble B at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Task is now to build on that effort. Fairly treated and gave it a good go from the front last time at Hexham.
9 4th (9) (9/1 -13%) Secret Secret	9 9/1(-13%)	(9) Secret Secret 9/1, Firmly back on track for this yard in second half of last year, scoring at this course (22.1f) and at Kelso. After 6 months off, looked rusty when fifth of 13 here (22.1f, good to soft) in May, but will need to find more from his current mark. Course winner and last month's run may have been needed; commands respect.
3 5th (3) (22/1 -57%) Native Fighter	22 22/1(-57%)	(3) Native Fighter 22/1, Successful twice at this course in 2021 and, though winless since, he went close here (22.1f) last August. Well held on his last 2 starts, but shaped as if needing the run after 6 months off back at this venue in May. Others still more persuasive. Tailed off behind Pateen last time and presumably rejected by Charlotte Jones.
2 6th (2) (16/1 -191%) Lets Do This	16 16/1(-191%)	(2) Lets Do This 16/1, Much improved when runner-up at Sligo (25.5f) on his handicap debut last summer, but ended 2023 with a lesser effort at Limerick (21f, heavy) in December. Has something to find on his return as he goes back up in trip with hood applied. Peak Irish form offers hope and slow ground against him the last twice; now hooded.
7 7th (7) (100/1 -1329%) Rumble B	100 100/1(-1329%)	(7) Rumble B 100/1, Has been thriving of late, making it 3 wins from 5 starts when scoring at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft) in May. Continued in good heart when third at the same C&D (soft) last time and he's respected in his current form. 3-37 under rules but all wins have come in his last 6 runs; chance in current vein of form.
5 8th (5) (14/1 -211%) Pateen	14 14/1(-211%)	(5) Pateen 14/1, Stepped up on his reappearance when getting back to winning ways at this course (22.1f, good to soft) last month, keeping on well. That was his second win from just 5 starts at this track, so he's not taken lightly with cheekpieces back on. Won comfortably over 2m6f here last month for which a 4lb rise seems very fair.
10 9th (10) (80/1 -142%) Famous Response	80 80/1(-142%)	(10) Famous Response 80/1, Uttoxeter novice hurdle winner for Dan Skelton in July 2022 but little impact in only 3 starts for his current yard. Fit from points, was never comfortable with the pace when mid-field in handicap at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Visor now reached for. Opposable on his handicap exploits for this yard; visor replaces cheekpieces.

14:35 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 25f Race Class Flow

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

SAINT BIBIANA has improved for the step up to 3m2f and followed an earlier success at Stratford with a cosy win at Newton Abbot. She can shrug off a 4lb rise and go close again. Pateen won over 2m6f here last time with plenty left in the tank and is another to consider, while Rumble B had the measure of Balkotic (third) when scoring at Hexham last month.

SAINT BIBIANA has shown improved form stepped up in trip on her last 2 starts, showing a good attitude when scoring at Newton Abbot at the beginning of the month, and she can go on to land the hat-trick with more still to offer. Pateen recorded his second course success here in May and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Rumble B.

The now-hooded LETS DO THIS lacks a recent run but he has threatened on good ground in Ireland and his slow-ground defeats are excused.

11 1st (11) (10/1 -33%) Umbria	10 10/1(-33%)	(11) Umbria 10/1, €28,000 yearling, The Grey Gatsby filly. Half-sister to Belgian/German 7f-1¼m winner Una Nova and useful German 1m winner Ultima. 11/1, ninth of 10 in novice at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) on debut 36 days ago. 11-1, faded into ninth of ten in novice at Goodwood (1m2f, good) five weeks ago.
9 2nd (9) (40/1 -150%) Star Time	40 40/1(-150%)	(9) Star Time 40/1, Time Test gelding. Dam ran once out of lightly-raced half-sister to smart 1m-11f winner Salve Germania including US Grade 2 event. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run. By Time Test; probably best watched unless the market speaks in his favour.
4 3rd (4) (3/1 -348%) Who's Glen	3 3/1(-348%)	(4) Who's Glen 3/1, Gleneagles gelding. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 1m winner) who won 3 Irish Group 3 events. Promising second of 9 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f, 7/2) on debut, never nearer. Off 159 days. Should improve and the one to beat. 2nd in January (1m, AW) sets the standard and he looks a strong candidate for improvement.
1 4th (1) (11/1 -69%) Ribba Hill	11 11/1(-69%)	(1) Ribba Hill 11/1, Made winning debut in 5-runner maiden at Newcastle (12.4f), well positioned in what was a slowly-run race. That not the most robust piece of form and only fourth of 8 under a penalty at Chepstow last week. Won Newcastle debut (1m4f, AW); failed to back up the form at Chepstow (1m2f) six days ago.
3 5th (3) (150/1 -2900%) Something	150 150/1(-2900%)	(3) Something 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Much better effort when fourth of 12 in maiden at Carlisle (9f, soft) on return 13 days ago, still looking very raw. Can do better again. 40-1 in maiden at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) 13 days ago but ran on into fourth of 12.
13 6th (13) (250/1 -1150%) Indian Romance	250 250/1(-1150%)	(13) Indian Romance 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in novice at Lingfield (7.6f, good, 12/1) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Hooded for two races on Lingfield turf this summer; better effort (debut) was modest form.
6 7th (6) (300/1 -500%) Joolianoss	300 300/1(-500%)	(6) Joolianoss 300/1, 27,000 gns yearling, Dark Angel gelding. Brother to 7f/1m winner Harlem Nights. Dam winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner). 80/1, seventh of 13 in maiden at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft) on debut 26 days ago. 80-1 when 7th of 13 in maiden at Leicester (1m, good to soft) 26 days ago, a 16l defeat.
10 8th (10) (450/1 -2713%) Shady Bay	450 450/1(-2713%)	(10) Shady Bay 450/1, €44,000 yearling, New Bay filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 1m winner Argentic and 6f winner Unveil. Dam 2-y-o 6.5f winner. 44,000euros yearling by New Bay; late foal but needs a market check.
5 9th (5) (100/1 -614%) Edwardtheninth	100 100/1(-614%)	(5) Edwardtheninth 100/1, 28,000 gns yearling, Bated Breath colt. Half-brother to 14.5f winner Recoup. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) who stayed 1¼m, sister to Prix Marcel Boussac winner Proportional. Badly in need of experience when tenth of 13 in maiden (33/1) at Sandown (10f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago. Well related but 33-1 for maiden at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) and always behind.
7 10th (7) (400/1 -100%) Capital Love	400 400/1(-100%)	(7) Capital Love 400/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, last of 11 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Big odds, behind at Salisbury in a 6f maiden and 7f novice.
12 11th (12) (400/1 -100%) City Waters	400 400/1(-100%)	(12) City Waters 400/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, last of 10 in novice at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Last of four in a maiden at Bath (5f as 2yo) and last of ten in a novice at Windsor (1m).
8 12th (8) (450/1 -1700%) Run Of Luck	450 450/1(-1700%)	(8) Run Of Luck 450/1, El Kabeir gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 1¼m/11f winner Francisco Bay and 1½m-2m winner Kalamity Kitty. Dam, 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m, half-sister to high-class winner up to 10.4f Collection. By El Kabeir; sixth foal; half-brother to four winners; dam 1m2f winner (79).
2 13th (2) (450/1 -350%) Amserda	450 450/1(-350%)	(2) Amserda 450/1, Twice-raced maiden. 300/1, last of 9 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 40 days ago. 250-1 and 300-1 when finishing last on both starts, C&D first occasion.

14:45 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

WHO'S GLEN got better the further he went on his introduction and has a good opportunity to build on that second at Southwell if picking up where he left off in January. Given his dam won a Listed race over this trip, as well as three Group 3s including the Munster Oaks, stepping up in trip is a logical and potentially rewarding move in this company. Something rates the pick of the rest with experience, while Shady Bay is an interesting debutant to monitor in the betting.

WHO'S GLEN made a promising debut when runner-up in a maiden at Southwell in January and is the standout in what looks a weak novice. Something still looks very raw but he's going the right way so is preferred to penalised-winner Ribba Hill for the forecast.

Unless there is significant support for a newcomer, this looks to be between WHO'S GLEN, Something and Ribba Hill.

14:50 Curragh Handicap 5f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (50/1 -100%) So Majestic	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) So Majestic 50/1, Respectable 2¼ lengths third of 7 to Azure Blue in listed race at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 25/1) 8 days ago, ridden over 1f out and plugging on. Much-inflated mark to defy returned to handicaps. Down in class after Listed attempts, trainer probably has a better chance with Kendall Roy.
6 1st (6) (25/1 -108%) Amazon Lady	25 25/1(-108%)	(6) Amazon Lady 25/1, 11/1 and visored for 1st time, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Navan (5f, good) 43 days ago by ½ length from Harry's Hill, always holding on. Not underestimated if headgear has desired effect once more. Ran in four consecutive Listed races before beating Harry's Hill in a 5f handicap at Navan.
15 2nd (15) (22/1 +12%) Greek Flower	22 22/1(+12%)	(15) Greek Flower 22/1, Course winner who shaped well after 8 months off when second of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Down Royal (5f, good) 9 days ago, finishing with running left. This rates a tougher assignment but she's clearly returned in good heart. Course 6f winner on heavy, ran well on good on seasonal debut, 6lb out of the handicap.
12 3rd (12) (13/2 +19%) Lethal Nymph	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(12) Lethal Nymph 13/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, good second of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) 14 days ago, finding only a thriving sort too strong. Lurking on a handy mark and one to bear in mind. All four wins came two seasons ago but in good form this term, second at Thirsk on latest.
9 4th (9) (10/1 +17%) Jm Jungle	10 10/1(+17%)	(9) Jm Jungle 10/1, Back-to-back handicap winner last summer. 13/2, eleventh of 15 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 28 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Slowly edging back down to last winning mark. Not far behind today's rival Korker in valuable York event, below best at Hamilton.
16 5th (16) (33/1 +18%) Bold Optimist	33 33/1(+18%)	(16) Bold Optimist 33/1, Latest win at Cork (5f) in June. Not seen to best effect when ninth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Down Royal (5f, good) 9 days ago. However, more needed in any case in this much stronger company. Rider's 7lb claim is an asset but has too much to do from 12lb out of the handicap.
4 6th (4) (11/1 +67%) Big Gossey	11 11/1(+67%)	(4) Big Gossey 11/1, 5-time course winner. 80/1, 7¾ lengths ninth of 12 to Mitbaahy in Greenlands Stakes at this course (6f, good) 36 days ago. Return to handicap company rates an obvious plus from his reduced mark. Boasts a fine record at this venue (five wins), now back on his last winning handicap mark.
13 7th (13) (33/1 +0%) Shandy	33 33/1(+0%)	(13) Shandy 33/1, Winner at Cork (5f, heavy) in March. 17¾ lengths last of 13 to Cherry Blossom in listed race at Cork (5.5f, good, 15/2) 51 days ago. Hood on 1st time and bounce back called for making handicap debut. Sights lowered now after two Listed runs since Cork 5f maiden win on heavy, hooded now.
3 8th (3) (25/1 -79%) Twilight Jet	25 25/1(-79%)	(3) Twilight Jet 25/1, 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) 42 days ago. Visor on 1st time and claims with a repeat. Three-time stakes winner, up 8lb for Listed second on latest, tough task as a result.
11 9th (11) (14/1 +13%) Harry's Hill	14 14/1(+13%)	(11) Harry's Hill 14/1, Showed a willing attitude when landing this prize 12 months ago and teed himself up nicely for a repeat bid when excellent ½-length second of 14 to Amazon Lady in handicap at Navan (5f, good) 43 days ago. Enters calculations. Always up with the pace when second to Amazing Lady at Navan, won this race last year.
1 10th (1) (10/1 +0%) Korker	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Korker 10/1, Prone to missing the break but he did run right up to best when fourth in big field handicap at York (5f) in May. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form 8¾ lengths third of 8 to Believing in listed race (14/1) at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Six-time 5f winner, best of his four runs this term when fourth of 17 at York, big burden.
2 11th (2) (20/1 -100%) Thunderbear	20 20/1(-100%)	(2) Thunderbear 20/1, Group 3 winner on heavy ground last term who bounced right back to very best when winning 7-runner handicap at Navan (5f, good, 5/1) 22 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Arnhem, kept up to work. Respected again. Raised 5lb for beating Arnhem at Navan but still 2lb below his career-high rating.
14 12th (14) (15/2 +0%) Kendall Roy	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(14) Kendall Roy 15/2, Made it 4 wins from his last 5 starts in 11-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 25 days ago, comfortably. Has become a really likeable type and fancied to be in the shake up again. Four wins and a second from five handicap starts, only 3lb wrong and worth considering.
10 13th (10) (3/1 +45%) Sturlasson	3 3/1(+45%)	(10) Sturlasson 3/1, Impressive when making all in a Navan maiden (5f) in May and stepped up again when runner-up in 3-y-o "Dash" on his latest start at Epsom (5f) 4 weeks ago. That form has a solid look and he's very much of interest again partnered by Oisin Murphy. Looked unlucky when second to Blue Storm at Epsom, form franked, holds a leading chance.
8 14th (8) (11/1 -38%) Little Queenie	11 11/1(-38%)	(8) Little Queenie 11/1, C&D winner. 11/1, very good second of 17 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 37 days ago. That effort came on the back of 7 months off and this likeable type is expected to give another good account. Made a lot of the running and only just denied in a 6f handicap here on seasonal debut.
17 15th (17) (200/1 +0%) Reinforce	200 200/1(+0%)	(17) Reinforce 200/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Below form seventh of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6.1f, good to soft, 12/1) 31 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. 0-21 record is off-putting in any case but has no chance from 29lb out of the handicap.
7 16th (7) (50/1 -100%) Arnhem	50 50/1(-100%)	(7) Arnhem 50/1, Course winner. 9¼ lengths seventh of 9 to Clarendon House in listed race at Cork (5f, good, 28/1) 16 days ago, no extra from 2f out. Return to handicap company in his favour now. Ran in a Listed race last time, second to Thunderbear in a handicap at Navan before that.

14:50 Curragh Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STURLASSON's initial juvenile form was quite smart and, while he subsequently dropped below that level, he has returned to his best in recent runs and finished second in Epsom's three-year-old Dash earlier this month. He easily won a maiden last month and at Epsom he met trouble in-running before finishing well behind the winner, who subsequently finished second in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse Stakes at Royal Ascot. Lethal Nymph's rating had fallen in recent times and, while well held in the Dash at Epsom, he ran well in a big-field handicap at Thirsk recently and should be competitive. Kendall Roy is a thoroughly progressive three-year-old who won over C&D recently.

Unsurprisingly claims can be made for a host including STURLASSON, who ran a cracker when chasing home another upwardly mobile sort in the 3-y-o "Dash" at Epsom at the start of the month and, again partnered by Oisin Murphy, he very much appeals as the type who could raise his game further still. The thriving Kendall Roy, potentially well-handicapped Lethal Nymph and last year's winner Harry's Hill are others to consider. Little Queenie is another worth a second look.

This may provide STURLASSON compensation for his defeat in the at Epsom, form upheld by the winner with fine Royal Ascot run

15:00 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 2) 26f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (11/1 -100%) Hang In There	11 11/1(-100%)	(1) Hang In There 11/1, Won 5 times in 2022/23 and better than ever when adding to his tally at Stratford and Worcester last season. Two excellent runner-up efforts since returning from a break, latterly going down by only a nose attempting 3m for the first time at Perth. Player if stamina holds up another 2f in trip. Very creditable second on both outings this spring (2m4f/3m); moves up in trip again here.
9 2nd (9) (25/1 -56%) Percussion	25 25/1(-56%)	(9) Percussion 25/1, It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2022. Was a creditable fourth of 8 in 23f Worcester handicap 17 days ago but bit of a surprise were he to snap a losing run in a race as competitive as this from 6 lb out of the weights. Placed twice over big Aintree fences in the autumn and also ran well this month; 6lb wrong.
14 3rd (14) (150/1 -127%) Monte Igueldo	150 150/1(-127%)	(14) Monte Igueldo 150/1, Racked up a hat-trick at the end of 2022 but lightly raced and not in the same form since, pulling up back from 11 months off at Bangor in April. Outsider from 9 lb out of the handicap. Pulled up in April, after latest absence; hiked up in trip here; has too much to prove.
8 4th (8) (25/1 -108%) Mole Court	25 25/1(-108%)	(8) Mole Court 25/1, Much improved since sent chasing, making it 5 wins in 6 starts when seeing off 4 rivals at Huntingdon in April. Pulled up over hurdles back there last month but better can be expected back chasing for last year's winning stable. 5-6 over fences since cheekpieces were added; flopped over hurdles last month; 3lb wrong.
4 5th (4) (66/1 -633%) Streets Of Doyen	66 66/1(-633%)	(4) Streets Of Doyen 66/1, Can makes mistakes but showed he's still capable of useful form when fourth of 16 at Roscommon (25, good) 3 weeks ago. Irish trainer does well with his British runners. Placed in this race in 2022 and returns here after good run in first-time visor this month.
6 6th (6) (66/1 -915%) Go On Chez	66 66/1(-915%)	(6) Go On Chez 66/1, Useful performer who won 2 hunter chases this spring before shaping as if still in good form when fourth in the Champion hunter at Stratford at the end of May. Runner-up twice off this mark last summer. Big player. Dual hunter chase winner this spring; has tougher task today but evidently in good nick.
7 7th (7) (66/1 -633%) Investment Manager	66 66/1(-633%)	(7) Investment Manager 66/1, Enjoyed a productive spell at Newton Abbot last summer and added to his strong record there when making all on his reappearance a month ago. Needs to show he's as good elsewhere now. Made all at Newton Abbot last month; contest deeper race from 2lb wrong here.
3 8th (3) (66/1 -230%) Whistleinthedark	66 66/1(-230%)	(3) Whistleinthedark 66/1, Better than the result (failed to stay) in the Scottish Grand National in April but failed to make an impact back over shorter at Market Rasen 9 days ago. Ran well in Scottish National in April but disappointed when dropped in grade this month.
11 9th (11) (66/1 -780%) Imperial Alex	66 66/1(-780%)	(11) Imperial Alex 66/1, Really has found the winning habit lately, defying another rise in the weights when completing a hat-trick over C&D last month. Effectively another 12 lb higher now bidding for the 4-timer but further improvement can't be discounted. Completed hat-trick in valuable 3m chase here last month; 8lb wrong but 7lb claimer rides.
12 \|F\| (12) (25/1 -79%) Milan Bridge	25 25/1(-79%)	(12) Milan Bridge 25/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after back to back wins at Plumpton but he's effectively 14 lb higher here (including 8 lb out of the handicap) so he'll need a big career best to keep the winning run going. Emgered from slump in form with two Plumpton wins last season; faces tougher task here.
13 \|PU\| (13) (66/1 -450%) Flaming Ambition	66 66/1(-450%)	(13) Flaming Ambition 66/1, Made a winning return from a long absence over C&D in April and almost certainly would have won again but for jumping and hanging to his right at Bangor since. Won't be able to afford such waywardness in a race as competitive as this, particularly from well out of the handicap. Low-mileage 7yo; has made bright start to chasing career but is 9lb out of the handicap.
2 \|PU\| (2) (100/1 -1567%) Kinondo Kwetu	100 100/1(-1567%)	(2) Kinondo Kwetu 100/1, A chaser on the up when third in this 12 months ago but he's been more miss than hit since. Didn't travel with anything like his usual fluency when pulled up at Aintree last month and now has first-time cheekpieces added to his usual tongue tie. Did very well to finish third in third in this race a year ago and is 5lb lower today.
5 \|PU\| (5) (100/1 -1233%) Hidden Heroics	100 100/1(-1233%)	(5) Hidden Heroics 100/1, Bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when winning a 27.5f Stratford handicap at the beginning of this month. Should remain competitive after a 5 lb rise for a top yard which has tasted success in this before. Made all at Stratford this month but may find it harder to dominate this stronger race.
10 \|PU\| (10) (100/1 -400%) Court Master	100 100/1(-400%)	(10) Court Master 100/1, One-time useful chaser for Michael Scudamore and best effort for present yard when fifth of 19 in handicap chase at Cheltenham last autumn. Only a respectable sixth in 2 outings back from a break since, though. 7 lb out of the weights. Ran okay in April, after a break, but did not build on that effort this month; 7lb wrong.

15:00 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 2) 26f Race Class Flow

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

INVESTMENT MANAGER has won races back-to-back before and although just out of the handicap, Joe Tizzard's eight-year-old can follow up his dominant effort from the front at Newton Abbot on his seasonal return. Hang In There has won half of his 14 previous starts over fences and, having just been touched off in the Perth Gold Cup, he is dangerous to rule out given he is unexposed at the trip. Last-start course winner Imperial Alex, who is on a four-timer, and Milan Bridge are other in-form rivals to consider.

GO ON CHEZ might prove the answer to an edition of the Summer Cup where more than half of the field are out of the handicap. Top-weight Hang In There proved himself at 3m last time and will be a danger if seeing out this extra 2f. Imperial Alex and Mole Court have progressive profiles over fences and are 2 who could have a part to play from out of the weights.

He didn't fire on his latest outing but KINONDO KWETU is now 5lb lower than when doing very well to finish third in this last year.

15:10 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 17f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (13/2 +13%) Fiveonefive	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(1) Fiveonefive 13/2, Won this corresponding race last year (from 4 lb lower) and added a third success to his tally at Hereford in November. Easy to excuse his latest effort at Listowel (16f, good to soft) earlier this month (never on terms after bad mistake fifth) so fancied to get back on track. 4lb higher than for last year's narrow win and looks vulnerable with top weight.
12 2nd (12) (12/1 +0%) King Otis	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) King Otis 12/1, Made it 4 wins from 7 starts for this yard when striking at Fakenham (2m, good) recently. Wasn't disgraced off a career-high mark at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) 12 days ago but the likelihood is he'll find a few too strong, even with Harry Cobden taking over in the plate. This is another step up in grade but likes sharp tracks and Cartmel should be up his alley.
11 3rd (11) (40/1 -300%) Book Of Secrets	40 40/1(-300%)	(11) Book Of Secrets 40/1, Ran away with a weak maiden at Market Rasen last August. Well held on next 2 starts, but attracted support and shaped better than the bare result on first start for this yard when fifth of 9 at Hexham (16.2f, soft) earlier in the month, just too fresh to last home. Hood on and not discounted. Accustomed to softer races than this one and needs the hood to bring him on.
8 4th (8) (50/1 -400%) Well Educated	50 50/1(-400%)	(8) Well Educated 50/1, Confirmed previous encouragement when capitalising on a reduced mark at Hexham last month and followed up 5 days later at Kelso. Found the task of completing a second career hat-trick beyond him back at former track just over 2 weeks ago and turned out quickly enough again. In form until last time; now has to bounce back in a competitive, classier race.
9 5th (9) (80/1 -567%) Elogio	80 80/1(-567%)	(9) Elogio 80/1, Wide-margin winner of Aintree bumper on debut/sole start for Richard Bandey in November 2022. Fair form over hurdles for current yard, off the mark in this sphere at Wetherby on Boxing Day, but well held on both subsequent outings. Has left Tom Lacey (£13,000) and cheekpieces are reapplied. Won in these aids on Boxing Day and they now return for first time since; stable debut.
5 6th (5) (100/1 -1150%) Hurricane Ali	100 100/1(-1150%)	(5) Hurricane Ali 100/1, Long time since last win but made an encouraging start for a new yard (formerly with John Mackie) after 6 months off when second of 7 in handicap at this course (22.1f, soft) last month, tying up final 50 yds. Nudged up 3 lb and this drop back in trip rates a positive. Big chance. Multiple winner at about 2m and ran surprisingly well on stable debut over 2m6f here.
4 7th (4) (100/1 -525%) Nayati	100 100/1(-525%)	(4) Nayati 100/1, Won 3 times in 2022/23 season. Reappearance fifth at Huntingdon in November was creditable but he ran poorly at Musselburgh a month later and disappointed for a second successive start when last seen at Stratford in March (held when fell last). Handicapper given him a chance but more required. The oldest member of this field and with a good bit to prove now.
6 8th (6) (100/1 -1567%) A Law Of Her Own	100 100/1(-1567%)	(6) A Law Of Her Own 100/1, Winner of a mares' handicap at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) for Peter Fahey last summer. Generally below par after but has made a solid start for new connections this season, finding just one too strong at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) just over 3 weeks ago. Should continue to be thereabouts. Bang there in two of her three handicaps for Dan Skelton without looking ahead of her mark.
2 9th (2) (100/1 -1567%) Petit Tonnerre	100 100/1(-1567%)	(2) Petit Tonnerre 100/1, Useful hurdler who didn't convince with his jumping tried chasing last season. Back over hurdles at the end of the campaign, finishing with running left when mid-field at Ayr in April but unable to build on that back up in trip at Aintree (20f, good to soft) subsequently. Underwhelming latest effort but he has the ability to go very well.
7 10th (7) (100/1 -2757%) Je T'ai Porte	100 100/1(-2757%)	(7) Je T'ai Porte 100/1, Useful chaser who scored at Ballinrobe last month before doubling her tally in a novice chase at Roscommon (16.8f, good) just under 3 weeks ago. Back over timber here and this Irish raider warrants considerable respect in her current mood. Better chaser but capable hurdler and Gavin Cromwell's British raids always catch the eye.
10 11th (10) (100/1 -733%) Scots Poet	100 100/1(-733%)	(10) Scots Poet 100/1, Returned to winning ways at Musselburgh on New Year's Day and bounced back from a poor run when finding plenty to score at Perth in April. Shaped as if still in good form back at latter venue (16.2f, good to soft) just over 6 weeks ago but this is a tougher assignment. This year's two wins have come at a lower level and this mark looks challenging.
3 12th (3) (100/1 -1150%) Luttrell Lad	100 100/1(-1150%)	(3) Luttrell Lad 100/1, Resumed winning ways over C&D last summer and has acquitted himself well since returning from a break in November, fourth of 17 in Swinton Handicap at Haydock (15.6f, good to firm) just over 7 weeks ago. Drops in class and no surprise to see him involved returned to this venue. High in the weights but it was a respectable effort in the Swinton last time.

15:10 Cartmel Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 17f Race Class Flow

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

HURRICANE ALI finished second over 2m6f at this venue on his debut for these connections a month ago and the drop in trip could help him to go one better on this occasion. A Law Of Her Own arrives here on the back of two encouraging efforts in defeat and she could prove to the the main threat, ahead of Petit Tonnerre and King Otis.

A competitive feature hurdle in which the suggestion is LUTTRELL LAD, who won a female riders' event over C&D last summer and has held his form well since. Jimmy Moffatt and Charlotte Jones are a potent combination at this venue and their Hurricane Ali is fancied to go close on the back of an encouraging return last month, with Irish-raider Je T'Ai Porte and A Law of Her Own another couple fancied to be in the shake-up, too.

The Cartmel experience will be new to him but PETIT TONNERRE is accustomed to competing in stronger races than this one.

15:20 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (10/1 -100%) Bakersboy	10 10/1(-100%)	(3) Bakersboy 10/1, One win from 34 Flat runs. Creditable second of 11 in handicap (10/11) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 10 days ago, collared close home having briefly looked in control when quickening clear early in straight (traded 1.08 in-running). 1-34 strike-rate but plenty of form here and made the frame all three starts for new yard.
9 2nd (9) (25/1 -25%) Warrior Square	25 25/1(-25%)	(9) Warrior Square 25/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in March. Run best excused when pulled up in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 10/1) 10 days ago, saddle slipped early on and heavily eased after 3f. Two 7f AW wins to start 2024; down the field next two starts and saddle slipped on latest.
4 3rd (4) (20/1 -25%) City Escape	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) City Escape 20/1, 3-time C&D winner. Ran just respectably when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good, 18/1) 13 days ago. Mark continues to ease but others look stronger. Three wins in 2023 and in the frame twice this spring; below form latest start; 3-27 here.
6 4th (6) (14/1 -40%) Red Dwarf	14 14/1(-40%)	(6) Red Dwarf 14/1, Winner at Southwell in April. Seemed unsuited by the emphasis on speed when sixth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 4/1) 32 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Won at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April; not so good in her only race since; headgear goes on.
1 5th (1) (15/2 -88%) High Court Judge	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(1) High Court Judge 15/2, 7/2, won 12-runner handicap at this course (9.5f) 26 days ago by nose from Prince Hector, just failing (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Not taken lightly nudged up just 2 lb. Second over C&D on latest outing, fractionally denied in his duel with Prince Hector.
8 6th (8) (33/1 -106%) Wallaroo	33 33/1(-106%)	(8) Wallaroo 33/1, Course winner. 9/1, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 17 days ago. Others make more appeal. Two places from five starts this term, both at this track; best efforts up to 8.6f, though.
2 7th (2) (66/1 -1000%) Meng Tian	66 66/1(-1000%)	(2) Meng Tian 66/1, Course winner in April. 20/1, back to form when sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 26 days ago, keeping on without landing a blow. Can give another good account. Late bid over 8.6f here in April saw first win for two years; this trip looks worth a go.
5 8th (5) (22/1 -214%) Prince Hector	22 22/1(-214%)	(5) Prince Hector 22/1, C&D winner in December. Second of 12 to High Court Judge in handicap (8/1) at this course (9.5f) 26 days ago, just holding on (first past the post but subsequently disqualified having carried rival off a true line). 12/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 2 days ago. Beat High Court Judge by a nose to win over C&D; respectable fourth at Newcastle on Friday.
13 9th (13) (150/1 -3650%) Garden View	150 150/1(-3650%)	(13) Garden View 150/1, 25/1, ran best race when third of 8 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 10 days ago, suited by the step up in trip. Expected to be bang there. 0-8 but placed in two of her five handicaps, including over 8.6f here on latest outing.
7 10th (7) (350/1 -4275%) Starshot	350 350/1(-4275%)	(7) Starshot 350/1, Shaped encouragingly from a long way back when fifth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good, 22/1) 17 days ago. One to keep an eye on. Close fifth of 11 at Nottingham (1m2f) latest start, staying on from the rear; considered.
10 11th (10) (350/1 -3400%) Pelissanne	350 350/1(-3400%)	(10) Pelissanne 350/1, Fared no better when sixth of 7 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 200/1) 5 months ago. Makes handicap debut. Upped slightly in trip and could prove a different proposition from such a lowly mark. Needs a close look in the betting on this handicap debut after five months off.
12 12th (12) (150/1 -88%) Streetstorm	150 150/1(-88%)	(12) Streetstorm 150/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Last of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft, 150/1) 34 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Christine Dunnett. Easy to look elsewhere. 20-race maiden who was beaten a nose once last June (1m, AW) but has struggled this year.
11 13th (11) (250/1 -400%) Dirty Barry	250 250/1(-400%)	(11) Dirty Barry 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, again showed little when last of 9 on handicap debut at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) 2 years ago. Makes all-weather debut and can only be watched given the absence. Hardly beat rival, including handicap debut; makes AW debut now and absent since June 2022.

15:20 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Prince Hector just held off the challenge of HIGH COURT JUDGE when the pair were separated by a nose over C&D. He was originally disqualified and placed second before getting the race back on appeal and would be respected if turned out again after his fourth at Newcastle on Friday. However, High Court Judge, who would meet his rival on better terms when factoring in his rider's claim, has every chance of reversing the form. Bakersboy's recent second at Lingfield entitles him to a place on the shortlist, while Red Dwarf isn't discounted in first-time cheekpieces.

Cases can be made for several, but the vote goes to sole 3-y-o GARDEN VIEW, who as anticipated was suited by a step up in trip when third at this track 10 days ago and Mark Usher's filly should have more to offer as her stamina is drawn out further. She can get the better of High Court Judge, who was awarded the race from Prince Hector here earlier in the month, with Starshot and handicap-debutante Pelissanne another couple worth mentioning.

Lots hold each-way claims but preference is for MENG TIAN who won over 8.6f here in April and now looks worth the attempt at this trip.

15:25 Curragh Listed 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (50/1 -100%) Romina Power	50 50/1(-100%)	(4) Romina Power 50/1, Useful filly. 103/1, 11 lengths ninth of 15 to Blue Rose Cen in Prix de Diane at Chantilly (10.4f, good to firm). Off 12 months. First run for yard after leaving Michael Figge with more required. Import from Germany, decent form in France and won a 1m1f Listed race at Baden-Baden.
1 1st (1) (11/1 -47%) Lord Massusus	11 11/1(-47%)	(1) Lord Massusus 11/1, Smart gelding. Course winner. Five wins from 17 Flat runs. 17½ lengths seventh of 8 to White Birch in Tattersalls Gold Cup (28/1) at this course (10.5f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Back down in trip. Generally reliable, back at a realistic level after ambitious Tattersalls Gold Cup bid.
3 2nd (3) (8/1 +43%) Atlantic Coast	8 8/1(+43%)	(3) Atlantic Coast 8/1, Lightly-raced winner. Course winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, 8¼ lengths sixth of 8 to Rosallion in Irish 2000 Guineas at this C&D (good, 40/1) 36 days ago. Yard having good spell so no forlorn hope. Below best at Leopardstown on seasonal debut, out of his depth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas.
9 3rd (9) (Evens +60%) Azada	0 Evens(+60%)	(9) Azada Evens, Promising type. 12/1, 5¾ lengths sixth of 13 to Fallen Angel in Irish 1000 Guineas at this C&D (soft) 35 days ago. Stable in good form. Sure to go well. Won only start at two, highly tried in Irish 1,000 Guineas, could be a big factor now.
8 4th (8) (11/1 +21%) Norwalk Havoc	11 11/1(+21%)	(8) Norwalk Havoc 11/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 7 lengths sixth of 8 to Chief Little Rock in Gallinule Stakes at this course (10f, soft, 14/1) 35 days ago. Others more persuasive. Two wins this season, soundly beaten in sixth when tried over 1m2f in the Gallinule Stakes.
7 5th (7) (11/1 -100%) Mundi	11 11/1(-100%)	(7) Mundi 11/1, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 11½ lengths seventh of 8 to Chief Little Rock in Gallinule Stakes (13/2) at this course (10f, soft) 35 days ago. Well worth another chance for top yard. Dundalk winner, did not seem to stay 1m2f in Gallinule Stakes, premature to write off.
2 6th (2) (7/1 -75%) Dunum	7 7/1(-75%)	(2) Dunum 7/1, Smart gelding. Course winner. Six wins from 22 Flat runs. 11/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good) 37 days ago. Trainer going well. Should continue to give a good account. Highly progressive handicapper over the last two seasons, no experience at this level.
6 7th (6) (16/1 +36%) Master Of The Hunt	16 16/1(+36%)	(6) Master Of The Hunt 16/1, Fairly useful colt. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 11/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 14-runner maiden at Gowran (8f, good) 13 days ago, driven clear. Difficult ask in this grade though. Recent maiden winner on sixth attempt, a lot more needed, yard's second-string.
5 8th (5) (33/1 -371%) You Send Me	33 33/1(-371%)	(5) You Send Me 33/1, Useful filly. 6¾ lengths fourth of 7 to Mutasarref in Ballycorus Stakes (8/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Enters calculations. Beaten only a neck in Athasi Stakes over 7f here, needs to step on more recent form.

15:25 Curragh Listed 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Irish 1,000 Guineas sixth AZADA can make the most of this easier opportunity. The Dermot Weld-trained filly, who was making the first start of her three-year-old career, is entitled to have come on from that seasonal reappearance. Given connections' decision to pitch her into a Classic on just her second start, the Aga Khan-owned daughter of Siyouni is clearly held in some regard. Joseph O'Brien's Atlantic Coast filled the same position in the 2,000 Guineas here but has yet to recapture his juvenile form. A very smart two-year-old, there is still time for the colt to deliver on that promise. Dundalk winner Mundi was well beaten here last time but the fact Ryan Moore remains loyal is surely significant.

AZADA has much less on her plate than when sixth in the Irish 1000 Guineas here last time so is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of course-scorer Dunum who also has the form to play a big part. You Send Me and Mundi appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Dermot Weld aimed high with AZADA in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and she could be hard to beat at this level

15:35 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 23f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 (6) (20/1 +0%) Imperial Merlin	20 20/1(+0%)	(6) Imperial Merlin 20/1, Took well to hurdling in 2022/23. Only second run over fences when fell second last (yet to be asked for effort) on penultimate outing and again failed to complete back over timber when last seen in March. Never gave his running last time but has a big effort in him if back on song.
8 1st (8) (13/2 +19%) Pyffo	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(8) Pyffo 13/2, Bumper winner who benefited from a more positive ride when scoring easily in a Market Rasen novice hurdle (20.6f) in March before an excellent second back in handicap company at Warwick. Turned over at short odds at Hereford but made no mistake at Fontwell latest. This asks for more. Defied a penalty back in a novice last time and has already run well in a handicap.
13 2nd (13) (15/2 +0%) Porter In The Park	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(13) Porter In The Park 15/2, Edged ahead late on to double hurdles tally at Ludlow (23.8f) in April and did well to finish as close as she did following a late blunder when runner-up at Market Rasen (23f). Confirmed she's better than ever when going in again at Stratford so she's on the shortlist. Had a bit in hand last time at Stratford off just 5lb lower; player.
16 3rd (16) (18/1 -50%) Halifax	18 18/1(-50%)	(16) Halifax 18/1, Scored at Kempton before good third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft) considerately handled when saddle slipped after 2 out. Another sound effort when second at Worcester and his consistency is hard to knock. Now looks high in the weights but he'll give his running.
4 4th (4) (14/1 -133%) Bucko's Boy	14 14/1(-133%)	(4) Bucko's Boy 14/1, Better than ever following a breathing operation when landing handicaps at Bangor and Stratford in August prior to an excellent second at Kelso. Relished step up to 23f when adding to tally at Worcester on recent return and he's totally unexposed as a stayer. Never higher in the weights following a 7lb rise but he's unexposed as a stayer.
15 5th (15) (200/1 -900%) Earth King	200 200/1(-900%)	(15) Earth King 200/1, Went the wrong way over fences last season but his mark tumbled as a result and he capitalised returned to timber (also fitted with cheekpieces) when winning 5-runner handicap at Fontwell in May. Just a fair effort from 5 lb higher since. Recent winner in first-time cheekpieces; 4th next time and not the easiest to predict.
9 6th (9) (50/1 -355%) Lihyan	50 50/1(-355%)	(9) Lihyan 50/1, Off the mark for this yard at Musselburgh (19.8f) in December and progressed steadily since, latest when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f, good) last month. Unable to land a telling blow from revised mark at Cartmel since. 2m7f winner at Market Rasen; not his first below-par performance at Cartmel next time.
14 7th (14) (25/1 -733%) Juan Bermudez	25 25/1(-733%)	(14) Juan Bermudez 25/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Andrew Balding, stays 2m. Effectively outclassed rivals on a brace of 18.7f novice events at Stratford in recent weeks and a fascinating contender up in trip now handicapping. Back-to-back novice wins at Stratford and improvers from this yard are a dangerous species.
10 8th (10) (450/1 -3991%) Nothin To Ask	450 450/1(-3991%)	(10) Nothin To Ask 450/1, Returned to form, after a breathing operation, when close second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good) in April. Never really involved at Warwick since and now goes up in trip. Below his best last time and this is a belated first run over this far under rules.
12 9th (12) (400/1 -3536%) Kingston Bridge	400 400/1(-3536%)	(12) Kingston Bridge 400/1, Back on the up when scoring at Kelso in April and displayed a willing attitude for latest success at Kelso a fortnight ago (20.1f). In a better race here but that was a career-best effort and he should stay this far. 6lb rise asks a question of him in this deeper race but he's an improving 6yo.
3 10th (3) (400/1 -3900%) Wbee	400 400/1(-3900%)	(3) Wbee 400/1, Thrived in 2021 and 2022, picking up 6 wins in all. Clearly had and issue or 2 given he missed all of 2023 but clearly retains all of his ability just on really promising return to action at Stratford. Returning from a long absence when fading only late on at Stratford; knows how to win.
7 11th (7) (100/1 -1567%) Edison Kent	100 100/1(-1567%)	(7) Edison Kent 100/1, Off the mark for current yard at Fakenham in December. Tricky customer but right back to his best upon return, going in again over C&D 3 weeks ago. Up 8 lb but he's clearly in excellent order. Easy C&D winner last time out; respected, for all that he's 8lb higher in a better race.
11 12th (11) (350/1 -430%) Calagogo	350 350/1(-430%)	(11) Calagogo 350/1, Lightly raced and went the wrong way for Gordon Elliott. Soon done with on stable debut over C&D recently (race won by Edison Kent). Made a quiet debut for this stable here recently in the race won by Edison Kent.
2 13th (2) (250/1 -1463%) Pull Again Green	250 250/1(-1463%)	(2) Pull Again Green 250/1, Ran well back hurdling after 5 months off when 4¾ lengths fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham in April, doing best of both the wide racers and those held up. Easy to excuse Haydock run since so needs treating as though still in form. Useful chase form last season and penultimate hurdle effort gives him hope here.

15:35 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 23f Race Class Flow

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

EDISON KENT had 11 lengths to spare over the runner-up when he scored over C&D under Lilly Pinchin and an 8lb higher figure could still underestimate James Owen's gelding in his bid to follow up given the comprehensive manner of that success. The in-form Porter In The Park is more proven over this sort of trip than the hat-trick seeking Juan Bermudez and last-time-out Fontwell winner Pyffo, so rates the chief threat to the selection.

The interesting one here is surely JUAN BERMUDEZ, who goes handicapping for the first time over hurdles on a good mark based on his Flat form and this extra emphasis on stamina may also unlock more. As you'd expect, this is competitive, with Porter In The Park and Bucko's Boy a couple of potential threats.

This has a competitive look to it. PULL AGAIN GREEN is a bit hit and miss but his penultimate effort brings him into it.

15:45 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 2) 21f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (3/1 +40%) Charlie Uberalles	3 3/1(+40%)	(10) Charlie Uberalles 3/1, Dual 3m chase winner in 2022. Only good effort last season came away from the mud when third in Premier Handicap at Doncaster (3m) in January. Step back in right direction when second of 5 here (25.5f, good to soft) 36 days ago, clear of rest. Becoming well treated and drying ground in his favour. Best run since Great Yorkshire Chase third when runner-up over 3m1f here last time.
9 2nd (9) (12/1 -140%) Bella Bliss	12 12/1(-140%)	(9) Bella Bliss 12/1, Three wins from 13 runs last season. Good second of 5 in mares chase (7/2) at Limerick (19.7f, good) last month but disappointed back hurdling 3 weeks ago. Dual chase winner; good 2nd over 2m3f on good two runs back; interesting jockey booking.
4 3rd (4) (40/1 -700%) Francky Du Berlais	40 40/1(-700%)	(4) Francky Du Berlais 40/1, Dual winner of the Summer Plate. Placed 3 times last season, including when second in cross-country event at Cheltenham in December. Below par next 2 starts but back to form when third at Perth 3 weeks ago. Dual Summer Plate winner; creditable third at Perth latest; each-way chance.
1 4th (1) (100/1 -1567%) Final Orders	100 100/1(-1567%)	(1) Final Orders 100/1, Stopped the slide when fourth at Punchestown but he's inconsistent nowadays so needs to back that up. Five-time chase winner, latest in early 2023; fair fourth last time; a contender.
7 5th (7) (100/1 -1329%) Glory And Honour	100 100/1(-1329%)	(7) Glory And Honour 100/1, Bagged his second chase win at Doncaster in December and not disgraced since. Possibilities, though this trip is beyond his optimum. Won two novice h'caps at up to 2m3f last year; mixed form this time; others stronger..
3 6th (3) (100/1 -1233%) Irish Blaze	100 100/1(-1233%)	(3) Irish Blaze 100/1, Latest win in chase at Down Royal in January. Found Red Rum at Aintree too competitive before stamina stretched at Killarney (26f), but more of an impact when fourth at Punchestown (20.2f, good, 40/1) 3 weeks ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Not taken lightly. Three good runs in novice chases for this yard and sound h'cap run latest; interesting.
8 7th (8) (66/1 -560%) Ganapathi	66 66/1(-560%)	(8) Ganapathi 66/1, Useful hurdle/chase winner for Willie Mullins but drawn a blank for Patrick Neville and Mike Smith. However, some encouragement when fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Perth (20.1f, good to firm, 11/1) on second start for this yard 3 weeks ago and headgear back on. Not the force of old; 2 fair runs for this yard but a bit to find with Francky Du Berlais.
6 8th (6) (100/1 -614%) Coqolino	100 100/1(-614%)	(6) Coqolino 100/1, Often let down by jumping for Gordon Elliott and ran no sort of race on debut for this yard 5 weeks ago. Best to look elsewhere. Ex-Gordon Elliott; quite a useful hurdler; 0-10 over fences (not jump well here last time).
2 9th (2) (100/1 -900%) Mackenberg	100 100/1(-900%)	(2) Mackenberg 100/1, Five-time winner over fences who was poised to get back on the scoreboard before unseating rider late on at Hereford (16f, soft) in March. Struggled in Red Rum at Aintree since but will find this much less demanding. Good second at Wetherby in October; unlucky two runs back; chance unless going turn soft.
5 \|PU\| (5) (100/1 -1329%) Arthur's Quay	100 100/1(-1329%)	(5) Arthur's Quay 100/1, Back on the scoresheet with a decisive display in this race 12 months ago off 7 lb lower. Followed up at Catterick in November and much better effort since when respectable fourth over C&D 5 weeks ago. Big run could be on the cards. Five chase wins including over C&D; should improve for his latest run (back after a break).

15:45 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow

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

FRANCKY DU BERLAIS was far from disgraced when third in a competitive event over 2m4f at Perth last time and that form gives him a big chance in a race of this nature. Final Orders has not been at his very best of late but should not be underestimated at this level, while Irish Blaze and Ganapathi are others who merit places on the shortlist.

CHARLIE UBERALLES is lurking on a dangerous mark having finished third in the Great Yorkshire Chase at Doncaster off 4 lb higher in January and his latest second here was a big step back in the right direction. This has likely been the target for last year's winner Arthur's Quay and he rates the main threat ahead of Irish Blaze.

Although lacking a recent win Irish raider FINAL ORDERS has plenty going for him here and is taken to beat Francky Du Berlais.

15:55 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (11/4 -57%) Atlantic Gamble	2.75 11/4(-57%)	(8) Atlantic Gamble 11/4, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 7/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Yarmouth (8f, soft) 17 days ago, going clear and eased final 50 yds. Hold solid claims of completing the hat-trick on that evidence. 6lb rise demands more but he's progressive and represents an in-form yard; leading claims.
3 1st (3) (15/2 +46%) Supaspecialawesome	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(3) Supaspecialawesome 15/2, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Ended last season out of sorts and fared no better after 5 months off when ninth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Leicester (7f, good) 50 days ago. Back up in trip. Runs without headgear for the first time in a little over a year; not easy to fancy.
7 3rd (7) (40/1 -471%) Little Heron	40 40/1(-471%)	(7) Little Heron 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 9/1) 17 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Competitive since handicapping without appearing ahead of her mark; needs more.
6 4th (6) (14/1 -100%) Crimson Coronet	14 14/1(-100%)	(6) Crimson Coronet 14/1, Zoustar filly who landed a C&D maiden in February. However, not in same form either start in turf handicaps since, only eighth of 10 at Goodwood (7f, good) 23 days ago. Return to AW needs to have positive effect stepping back up in trip. Two poor efforts on turf, back from wind surgery, leave her something to prove.
1 5th (1) (25/1 -150%) Rogue Soldier	25 25/1(-150%)	(1) Rogue Soldier 25/1, Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 6/1) 28 days ago, racing too freely in first-time cheekpieces (left off here). Return to this surface could help from easing mark. Had excuses in two runs back for his current yard this season; should fare better.
4 6th (4) (66/1 -450%) Star Mind	66 66/1(-450%)	(4) Star Mind 66/1, Course winner who scored on handicap debut at Newcastle (7f) in January. Faced a stiff task tackling listed company when last seen in March and whilst this rates more suitable, her present mark does demand more. Up in trip. Drawn to attack, back from a break, but this longer trip is far from assured on pedigree.
9 7th (9) (40/1 -627%) Orbital	40 40/1(-627%)	(9) Orbital 40/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Chelmsford City in June. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good, 9/4) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Visor on 1st time and she could yet have more to offer for her shrewd yard. Daughter of a course winner; goes in first-time headgear; ought to fare better again.
10 8th (10) (125/1 -525%) Cerulean Summer	125 125/1(-525%)	(10) Cerulean Summer 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, last of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 28 days ago, very slowly away and always behind. Others more persuasive. A deal better off with Atlantic Gamble than at Kempton but she's still hard to recommend.
5 9th (5) (350/1 -4900%) Diffident Spirit	350 350/1(-4900%)	(5) Diffident Spirit 350/1, In good form early last year, successful at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) in April and finished runner-up on 2 of his 3 starts thereafter. Off 13 months ahead of this but fact he's won fresh previously means he's worth a second look here from much lower AW mark. Nothing to suggest he's as good on the AW but two of his wins came after breaks.
2 10th (2) (125/1 -942%) Equion	125 125/1(-942%)	(2) Equion 125/1, C&D winner. 22/1, possibly in need of the run after 7 months off when fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 28 days ago. Comes here operating from last winning mark and better showing not ruled out. Comfortably held on turf four weeks ago back from a layoff; others make more appeal.

ATLANTIC GAMBLE has progressed well since his handicap bow, with victories at Kempton and Yarmouth in recent weeks. The manner of his most recent triumph was more authoritative than the margin of a length and three-quarters suggests and he makes plenty of appeal, with Brandon Wilkie's claim almost negating the 6lb rise he received. Little Heron is capable of stepping forward back on the all-weather based on her Kempton third earlier in the month. A visor might aid the cause of Orbital.

ATLANTIC GAMBLE made light of a 4 lb rise for his breakthrough success at Kempton when running out a ready winner at Yarmouth 17 days ago and he may well be up to defying the assessor again and completing the hat-trick. Diffident Spirit boasts a good record fresh so he needs factoring in after an absence from his considerably lower all-weather mark. Rogue Soldier and Orbital, equipped with a visor, are others to consider.

On the upgrade for a yard in good nick, ATLANTIC GAMBLE (nap) is selected to defy a 6lb rise and complete the hat-trick.

16:05 Curragh Group 1 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (13/8 +13%) Los Angeles	1.625 13/8(+13%)	(5) Los Angeles 13/8, Followed debut success by winning the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (1¼m, soft) in October. Proved a length too strong for Euphoric in Derby Trial at Leopardstown on return before very good third (3¼ lengths behind Ambiente Friendly) in Derby at Epsom. Can do better again and big shout. Lost unbeaten record at Epsom, should make a bold bid in rematch with Ambiente Friendly.
7 2nd (7) (16/1 +20%) Sunway	16 16/1(+20%)	(7) Sunway 16/1, Winner of the Group 1 Criterium International at Saint-Cloud on his final 2-y-o start but winless from 3 starts this season, running to form but only seventh in Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly 4 weeks ago. Step up in trip should at least suit. Group 1-winning juvenile needs to improve on what he has done in France this season.
1 3rd (1) (6/4 -9%) Ambiente Friendly	1.5 6/4(-9%)	(1) Ambiente Friendly 6/4, Gleneagles colt who burst on to the scene with an emphatic 4½ length success in the Lingfield Derby Trial (11.5f, good to firm). Excellent second in Derby itself at Epsom 4 weeks ago and obvious claims of going one better. Impressed at Lingfield, every chance of upholding Derby form with third-placed Los Angeles.
6 4th (6) (13/2 +13%) Matsuri	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(6) Matsuri 13/2, Confirmed debut promise to win 13-runner novice at Kempton (8f) in November and improved another chunk when easily defying a penalty in novice at Leicester on return. This is a massive step up but he's potentially very smart. Impressive winner at Leicester, first attempt in a stakes race but a serious contender.
4 5th (4) (125/1 -89%) Keeper's Heart	125 125/1(-89%)	(4) Keeper's Heart 125/1, Useful colt who improved when1½ lengths fourth of 5 to Los Angeles in Derby Trial Stakes (18/1) at Leopardstown (10f, good to firm) on return. However, failed to build on that in listed event there since and this is a huge ask. Limitations evident at this trip in a Listed race at Leopardstown, rank outsider.
8 6th (8) (40/1 +20%) The Euphrates	40 40/1(+20%)	(8) The Euphrates 40/1, Confirmed debut promise with victory in 10-runner maiden at Gowran (8.3f) in October and improved another chunk when second in Group 3 at Leopardstown on return. However, limitations rather exposed in Lingfield Derby Trial/King Edward Stakes since. Failed to make an impact in the King Edward VII Stakes, making up the numbers.
3 7th (3) (28/1 -100%) Grosvenor Square	28 28/1(-100%)	(3) Grosvenor Square 28/1, Winner of 2 of his 3 starts as a 2-y-o, signing campaign off with success in the Eyrefield Stakes at Leopardstown. Shaped as if better for the run after 7 months off when 10½ lengths third to the ill-fated Hidden Law in Chester Vase (12.3f, good) and remains open to improvement. Half-brother to the 2020 winner, smart juvenile form, disappointing show in Chester Vase.
2 8th (2) (33/1 +0%) Euphoric	33 33/1(+0%)	(2) Euphoric 33/1, Won sole start at 2 and better form in defeat this year, going down by a length to stablemate Los Angeles in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown. However, used as a pacemaker when ninth in Derby at Epsom and may take up similar duties again. Supplied the pace at Leopardstown and Epsom and is scheduled for the same duties here.

16:05 Curragh Group 1 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Epsom Derby runner-up AMBIENTE FRIENDLY can land the Irish equivalent for trainer James Fanshawe. Winner of the Lingfield Derby Trial on his penultimate start, the son of Gleneagles has upwards of 5lb in hand on official ratings. His main threat may come from Los Angeles, a place behind in the Epsom Classic. Aidan O'Brien's first string lost his unbeaten record on that occasion but should be better suited to the Curragh. Ryan Moore is sure to have Ambiente Friendly in his sights throughout. Although unable to get competitive at the business end of the French Derby, Sunway didn't get the clearest of passages. Oisin Murphy will be hoping for better luck here.

AMBIENTE FRIENDLY was beaten only by a potential superstar in the Derby at Epsom and should take all the beating. Los Angeles fared best of those ridden up with the pace when over 3 lengths behind the selection that day so it wouldn't surprise if he bridged the gap. Matsuri is taking a huge step up in class but he could hardly have created a better impression at Ripon and is the potential fly in the ointment.

Derby third Los Angeles has a significant gap to bridge and AMBIENTE FRIENDLY can stay well enough to cope with his challenge.

16:10 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
12 (12) (6/1 +25%) The Turtle Said	6 6/1(+25%)	(12) The Turtle Said 6/1, C&D winner who looked the likely winner (going best) when hanging badly right and running out 2 out at Plumpton (25f, good) in April. Looked set for a place when falling last at Worcester (23f) 4 weeks ago and cheekpieces worn then, again applied here. Not discounted. Dramatically came to grief when holding every chance in last two races; still on good mark.
14 (14) (22/1 -120%) Six And Out	22 22/1(-120%)	(14) Six And Out 22/1, Fair in bumpers and similar form over hurdles, off the mark in a Stratford novice (18.6f) at the start of the month. Unseated early in follow-up bid at that venue 12 days ago and now gets a first crack at handicaps. Market should guide. Won run-of-the-mill novice this month but has a lot more on his plate here.
7 1st (7) (28/1 -40%) Breaking Waves	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) Breaking Waves 28/1, Untrustworthy individual for Harry Whittington and hasn't made any sort of impact as yet for current yard. Possible he'll strip fitter for his latest run over further here 24 days ago but percentage call is to look elsewhere. Blinkers back on. Dropped out very tamely over 2m7f here last time and has much more to prove than some.
2 2nd (2) (125/1 -1463%) Police Academy	125 125/1(-1463%)	(2) Police Academy 125/1, Fine start upon joining Fergal O'Brien last summer, winning 3 of her first 4 starts over hurdles, latterly in cosy fashion at Ludlow (21f) in October. Finished midfield on testing ground at Warwick when last seen in November and she's not discounted back from 7 months off. 3-5 for this stable; has fitness to prove after layoff but further progress is possible.
5 3rd (5) (125/1 -1463%) Muskoka	125 125/1(-1463%)	(5) Muskoka 125/1, Showed a fair level of ability in bumpers and having made the frame in pair of novice hurdles, he displayed improved form when third on handicap debut at Exeter (18.5f, heavy) back in January. Returns to action with his yard amongst the winners so worth a second look. Solid start to handicap career when third at Exeter (2m2f) in January; still has potential.
11 4th (11) (300/1 -8471%) Clararose	300 300/1(-8471%)	(11) Clararose 300/1, Improved over hurdles since tongue tied, opening her account at Warwick (21f) in May and finding only another also on an upward curve too strong at Bangor (19.5f) 3 weeks ago. Remains very much of interest. Won in good style at Warwick last month and ran big race in defeat on latest outing.
1 5th (1) (100/1 -1150%) Walk Of No Shame	100 100/1(-1150%)	(1) Walk Of No Shame 100/1, Left a very low-key reappearance effort in her wake and proved game in the process when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good to soft) 29 days ago, finding extra when tackled. Career-high mark to deal with here but claims with a repeat. Bounced back to form to win at Worcester this month; stable conditional claims 10lb here.
4 6th (4) (100/1 -1900%) Fourofakind	100 100/1(-1900%)	(4) Fourofakind 100/1, Fairly useful form on the Flat in Ireland and dual hurdle winner for this yard, the second success coming in a Hereford handicap (19.7f) in February. Good efforts in defeat of late, second of 6 in a C&D handicap 5 weeks ago. Entitled to go well again. Posted sound effort when second over C&D last month but may find others better handicapped.
15 7th (15) (400/1 -1900%) State Of Bliss	400 400/1(-1900%)	(15) State Of Bliss 400/1, Won a 4-runner maiden hurdle at Fakenham last June but has largely found in tough in handicap company since, 11 lengths fifth of 10 in handicap at Fontwell (19f) earlier this month. Handicapper has relinquished his grip a little more at least. Didn't run badly at Fontwell this month but others have much more appealing profiles.
6 8th (6) (450/1 -5525%) Good Bye	450 450/1(-5525%)	(6) Good Bye 450/1, Proved a model of consistency during 2022/23 for this yard, going with loads of zest when running out a comfortable winner at Doncaster (19.4f) in January of last year. Absent since but lines up operating from only 1 lb higher mark. Absent since clearcut win in January 2023 but only 1lb higher for this reappearance outing.
8 9th (8) (450/1 -1700%) Stans The Man	450 450/1(-1700%)	(8) Stans The Man 450/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner during 2022/23. However, he lines up here having been pulled up on each of his last 3 starts over fences/hurdles, latterly at Ffos Las in April. Good deal to prove on back of a wind op now. Hood/tongue tie on. Pulled up on all three appearances during very disappointing campaign last season.
9 10th (9) (300/1 -2900%) Charlie's Glance	300 300/1(-2900%)	(9) Charlie's Glance 300/1, Has largely been holding form well over hurdles/fences in recent months, second of 9 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good, 7/1) 24 days ago, no match for winner. Likely he can get involved again. Kept on for second over C&D this month but others appeal more all the same.
3 \|PU\| (3) (150/1 -838%) Ted's Friend	150 150/1(-838%)	(3) Ted's Friend 150/1, Fairly useful hurdler at best but hasn't performed back from a long absence in two outings this spring. Needs to get back on track with cheekpieces now added. Yard also saddle Police Academy. Back from long absence with two very underwhelming runs this spring; cheekpieces now added.
13 \|PU\| (13) (150/1 -500%) Presenting Pete	150 150/1(-500%)	(13) Presenting Pete 150/1, Bagged a C&D handicap off this mark last summer. Below form on 2 of his 3 starts thereafter but did shape as if he'd come on plenty for his reappearance run at Market Rasen (20.6f) 16 days ago, dropping away quickly after 3 out. Likely best watched. Pulled up last month, after a break, but won by 5l off today's mark over C&D last summer.
10 \|PU\| (10) (350/1 -1650%) Throne Hall	350 350/1(-1650%)	(10) Throne Hall 350/1, Useful sort at his best on Flat and fairly useful hurdler. However, he's been very disappointing in a couple of starts in this sphere in recent weeks. Easy Flat winner in March but both recent hurdle runs were very disappointing.

16:10 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

WALK OF NO SHAME appeared to relish the return to 2m4f when scoring with a little to spare at Worcester at the start of the month. The seven-year-old is effectively racing off a 4lb lower mark if taking Ben Macey's 10lb claim into account and a double could be forthcoming. The biggest threat may emerge from the Harry Derham-trained Fourofakind, who arrives on the back of runner-up efforts at Taunton and this venue. The improving Clararose is another to consider.

CLARAROSE has proved a different proposition since the tongue tie was added, opening her account at Warwick in May prior to finding only another on an upward curve too strong at Bangor 3 weeks ago. She looks a lead contender again and earns the vote. Fourofakind comes here in good heart and is feared, along with low-mileage Muskoka back from a break. Walk Of No Shame and The Turtle Said are others in the mix.

Preference is for MUSKOKA, who was placed on his first three hurdle starts and has scope for improvement on his first attempt at 2m4f.

16:20 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (10/1 +17%) Cuzco Du Mathan	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Cuzco Du Mathan 10/1, French recruit who produced much his best effort so far on these shores when bolting up in the first-time visor over hurdles here in August. Not in same form next time and only sixth of 7 in handicap chase at this course (21.2f, good) 2 days ago. Two places chasing in France in 2022; won over hurdles since; will improve on Friday's run.
7 1st (7) (6/4 +73%) Dr Sanderson	1.5 6/4(+73%)	(7) Dr Sanderson 6/4, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap chase at this course (21.2f, good, 5/2) 2 days ago. Enters calculations. 33lb lower than for C&D win in July 2022; fair runs last twice (fourth here on Friday).
3 2nd (3) (8/1 -33%) Lermoos Legend	8 8/1(-33%)	(3) Lermoos Legend 8/1, Won 23f handicap chase at Worcester last summer. Low-key efforts over fences during the spring but he did show better signs following a short break when sixth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) 2 weeks ago. Could build on that returned to larger obstacles. Good record over fences here; disappointing last three starts; may do better now back here.
1 3rd (1) (100/1 -1150%) Thank You Blue	100 100/1(-1150%)	(1) Thank You Blue 100/1, Winner of maiden hurdle at Sedgefield in November but found life tougher in handicap company this spring. A switch to fences needs to have a positive effect but that not out of the question. Maiden hurdle winner last term; didn't progress in handicaps; bit to prove on chase debut.
10 4th (10) (100/1 -3233%) Melvich Bay	100 100/1(-3233%)	(10) Melvich Bay 100/1, Long-standing maiden over hurdles but bettered those exploits at second attempt over fences when landing 8-runner C&D contest 32 days ago, asserting quickly and kept up to work. Up 6 lb now but she remains lightly raced enough to think she can do better again in this sphere. C&D winner on first outing here last month (soft); 6lb higher; a possible.
5 5th (5) (66/1 -725%) Minella Youngy	66 66/1(-725%)	(5) Minella Youngy 66/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland and opened his account for Iain Jardine over fences at Kelso (17f) in September. Faced no easy task from out of weights on return/yard debut at Ayr (16.5f) in April and better anticipated with cheekpieces refitted/racing off correct mark. Ex-Iain Jardine; good C&D third in August; stiff task latest; chance with headgear back on.
9 6th (9) (100/1 -900%) Check My Pulse	100 100/1(-900%)	(9) Check My Pulse 100/1, Winless since 2022 but he did prove he retains some ability after 7 months off when third of 9 in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f) 6 weeks ago. However, percentage call is to look elsewhere. Not won since 2022, but has run well on several occasions including when third last time.
4 7th (4) (100/1 -1329%) Post No Bills	100 100/1(-1329%)	(4) Post No Bills 100/1, Bagged 3 handicap chases in 2023 (including here), readily making all at Plumpton (17f, good) for latest success in September. Hasn't scaled same heights in handful of chase tries since the spring but record here is a pretty solid one and he's fallen 5 lb below last winning mark. Course winner; on a good mark but mainly out of form this year; needs to bounce back.
8 8th (8) (100/1 -400%) Gouet Des Bruyeres	100 100/1(-400%)	(8) Gouet Des Bruyeres 100/1, Three-time winner over fences but out of sorts when last seen and returns from 6 months off with something to prove. Ex-Oliver Greenall; suited by good/fast ground and 14lb lower than last win (2022).
6 \|PU\| (6) (100/1 -1567%) Tonto's Spirit	100 100/1(-1567%)	(6) Tonto's Spirit 100/1, Veteran who dug deep when adding a sixth C&D success to his tally last summer. Failed to complete both starts at Sedgefield since, latterly when pulled up (after 7 months off) in May. Return to this venue a plus but he could need a few runs to put him spot on. Nine-time course winner; rather unpredictable these days but capable of going well.

16:20 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

A 6lb rise for Melvich Bay's first victory over track and trip last month looks more than workable and Danny Brooke's mare must enter calculations on just her third appearance over fences. However, it could be worth taking a chance on CHECK MY PULSE building on his third-placed reappearance at Hexham. The eight-year-old is now 7lb below his last winning mark and shades the vote. Dual C&D scorer Lermoos Legend is also noted.

MELVICH BAY improved on anything she had achieved over hurdles when running out a good winner of a C&D handicap chase 32 days ago and she could well be up to defying a 6 lb rise for all this rates tougher. Minella Youngy and Post No Bills are others to consider, as is Dr Sanderson if lining up (respectable fourth here Friday).

In a tricky race MINELLA YOUNGY is selected to beat the well-handicapped course winners Lermoos Legend and Dr Sanderson.

16:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (8/1 -33%) Miss Calculation	8 8/1(-33%)	(4) Miss Calculation 8/1, Modest mare. C&D winner. 14/1, won 11-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 38 days ago. Recent AW form not as inspiring but he's in better heart than most. Stall 12 isn't ideal but does like it here and is rated on the ceiling mark for the race.
2 (2) (14/1 -40%) Company Minx	14 14/1(-40%)	(2) Company Minx 14/1, Modest mare. Sixth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Leicester (5f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Significantly up in trip and needs to leave that reappearance run well behind. Entitled to have needed her recent comeback from a year off; one to consider.
11 1st (11) (17/2 -143%) Forgotten Treasure	8.5 17/2(-143%)	(11) Forgotten Treasure 17/2, Shaped well when runner-up at Doncaster. Evens to go one place better 6 days on but finished last of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) 8 days ago, pulling far too hard. Dangerous if casting that run aside. Pulled away her chances at a short price last time; stable has been among the winners.
8 2nd (8) (250/1 -658%) Roman Princess	250 250/1(-658%)	(8) Roman Princess 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, last of 13 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 48 days ago. Cheekpieces need to galvanise her. Finished a remote last in 8.6f handicap here seven weeks ago; headgear goes on.
1 3rd (1) (10/3 -33%) Mintana	3.333333 10/3(-33%)	(1) Mintana 10/3, Modest filly. Course winner. Good second of 14 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good, 11/1) 13 days ago, just failing. Has to be taken very seriously in this lowly company back on the AW. Three-time AW winner; lacks consistency, like many at this level, but is shortlisted.
9 4th (9) (9/2 +44%) Sea The Buckthorn	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(9) Sea The Buckthorn 9/2, C&D winner. Winner here in January. Respectable fourth of 9 in minor event (12/1) at Leicester (7f, good) 15 days ago. Arrives in form, bidding to add to January's C&D win; yard also responsible for Outreach.
7 5th (7) (14/1 -56%) Reve De Magritte	14 14/1(-56%)	(7) Reve De Magritte 14/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 9 in minor event at Leicester (7f, good, 16/1) 15 days ago. Should strip fitter with that under her belt. Inclined to pull back from five months off latest; twice ran well over C&D last winter.
5 6th (5) (11/1 -47%) Outreach	11 11/1(-47%)	(5) Outreach 11/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 38 days ago, slowly away. Can bounce back given he's more consistent than most at this level. Boasts a fair record here; should do better back on Tapeta; one of the likelier winners.
3 7th (3) (100/1 -150%) Ishani	100 100/1(-150%)	(3) Ishani 100/1, Visored for first time, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good, 40/1) 13 days ago. String of poor efforts since running well in a C&D maiden this time last year.
6 8th (6) (80/1 -789%) Red Walls	80 80/1(-789%)	(6) Red Walls 80/1, Four-time course winner. 5/4, second of 4 in minor event at Ffos Las (5f, good) 7 days ago, no match for winner. Rare go away from sprinting. Stall 11 not ideal for one who's happiest on the sharp end and done most racing in sprints.
12 9th (12) (450/1 -1945%) Trois Blancs	450 450/1(-1945%)	(12) Trois Blancs 450/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 40/1) 19 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for first time. Twice beaten at short prices here early in the year and has gone backwards since.
10 10th (10) (40/1 -60%) Storm Master	40 40/1(-60%)	(10) Storm Master 40/1, C&D winner. 80/1, last of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 20 days ago, very slowly away. Offered very little back from over a year off three weeks ago (turf).

16:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MISS CALCULATION arrives having won her latest start in handicap company at Catterick and a similar effort to that performance may be enough to see her make it back-to-back victories. Mintana has to enter calculations based on her agonising Chepstow defeat just under a fortnight ago. Others capable of being in the mix include Red Walls and Sea The Buckthorn.

MINTANA produced her best effort of the year when runner-up in handicap company at Chepstow a fortnight ago and a reproduction of that may well suffice. Miss Calculation and Forgotten Treasure head the opposition.

Mark Usher holds a strong hand, with OUTREACH, whose record over C&D reads 22143, preferred to Sea The Buckthorn.

16:40 Curragh Handicap 8f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (14/1 +30%) Booyea	14 14/1(+30%)	(6) Booyea 14/1, 1 win from 1 run this year. 9/2, career best when winning 4-runner minor event at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 16 days ago, slowly away. Not taken lightly in his current mood. Has been handed a 9lb rise for winning a 7f conditions race at Fairyhouse, vulnerable now.
9 2nd (9) (20/1 -25%) No More Porter	20 20/1(-25%)	(9) No More Porter 20/1, C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 9/2). Off 7 months. Stable in good form. Can give a good account. Often runs well in big-value handicaps but on a long losing run and lacks a recent outing.
10 3rd (10) (33/1 -340%) Verhoyen	33 33/1(-340%)	(10) Verhoyen 33/1, 6-time course winner. Good second of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 23 days ago, sticking to task. In the mix once more. Returned to form with Fairyhouse second last time, six-time winner at this venue.
3 4th (3) (9/4 +36%) State Actor	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(3) State Actor 9/4, Promising individual. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 11/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 37 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so big shout. Backed up C&D maiden win with handicap debut success here, further progress is feasible.
15 5th (15) (33/1 -65%) May Night	33 33/1(-65%)	(15) May Night 33/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Cork in May. Respectable 3½ lengths third of 15 to Brains in handicap at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft, 7/2) 48 days ago. Not ruled out. Basically an AW specialist but recent turf form offers encouragement, Velazquez aboard.
2 6th (2) (9/1 -20%) Blues Emperor	9 9/1(-20%)	(2) Blues Emperor 9/1, C&D winner. 9/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable 2½ lengths fifth of 14 to State Actor in handicap at this C&D (good) 37 days ago. Can make presence felt. Neck second to Coeur D'Or in 2023 Irish Cambridgeshire, fifth to State Actor on latest.
4 7th (4) (40/1 -186%) Shayzann	40 40/1(-186%)	(4) Shayzann 40/1, Sixth of 7 in minor event (5/1) at Gowran (9.4f, good) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Has work to do. Has been highly tried since maiden win, tongue-tie on for handicap debut, could go well.
11 8th (11) (25/1 -56%) Benavente	25 25/1(-56%)	(11) Benavente 25/1, Latest win at Southwell in February. 17/2, very good eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, good) 37 days ago, not ideally placed. Can go well. Better known as a solid AW performer, other have much stronger turf credentials.
8 9th (8) (12/1 -9%) Physique	12 12/1(-9%)	(8) Physique 12/1, 11/4, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Limerick (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago. One for the shortlist. Ran well under a big weight at Limerick last time but this may prove too competitive.
1 10th (1) (5/1 +23%) Coeur D'or	5 5/1(+23%)	(1) Coeur D'or 5/1, C&D winner. Good sixth of 29 in Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (8f, firm, 12/1) 11 days ago, having to pick way through. Yard going well so he's a contender. Last year's Irish Cambridgeshire winner, big run possible after Royal Hunt Cup sixth.
14 11th (14) (16/1 -14%) Concluding Call	16 16/1(-14%)	(14) Concluding Call 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Navan in May. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft, 7/2) 17 days ago, needing stronger gallop. In the picture. Maiden winner at Navan, unplaced favourite on handicap debut, plenty to prove as a result.
7 12th (7) (16/1 -33%) Casanova	16 16/1(-33%)	(7) Casanova 16/1, Thirty runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, creditable 2¼ lengths fourth of 14 to State Actor in handicap at this C&D (good) 37 days ago. Yard in good form. Should go well again. Split Cheers Again and Blues Emperor when fourth to State Actor last time, each-way hope.
5 13th (5) (9/1 -13%) Cheers Again	9 9/1(-13%)	(5) Cheers Again 9/1, Latest win at Dundalk in December. Good 1¾ lengths third of 14 to State Actor in handicap at this C&D (good, 6/1) 37 days ago. Not discounted. 3-3 on AW, 0-11 on turf but worth considering on C&D third behind State Actor.
12 14th (12) (28/1 -331%) Morse	28 28/1(-331%)	(12) Morse 28/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 10/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 84 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Open to further improvement. Ground was heavy when he made a winning handicap debut at Leopardstown, solid form on AW.
13 15th (13) (28/1 -12%) Brains	28 28/1(-12%)	(13) Brains 28/1, Latest win at Roscommon in May. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. 11-time AW winner has been showing consistent form on turf lately, good 5lb claimer booked.

16:40 Curragh Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The Paul Flynn-trained CHEERS AGAIN can open his account on turf. A three-time winner at Dundalk, the five-year-old was somewhat unlucky in running when third over this course and distance last time. Short of room on the rail over two furlongs out, the gelding finished strongly once the gaps appeared. State Actor, the winner of that race, gives the impression of having plenty more to offer. The lightly-raced four-year-old quickened up smartly to score and has scope off 9lb higher. Colin Keane looks a significant booking. Coeur d'Or makes a quick reappearance having performed really well at Royal Ascot and is also noted.

Plenty are in with a shout but STATE ACTION rates just the pick of these weights and with the prospect of better to come he can follow up his C&D success. Coeur d'Or heads the list of dangers on the back of his good Royal Ascot Hunt Cup sixth. although Morse, Verhoyen, No More Porter and Casanova can all have a say too.

An each-way suggestion is CASANOVA who is on a long losing sequence but has been showing consistent form

16:45 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (11/2 -10%) Maxcel	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(4) Maxcel 11/2, Has clearly been hard to train but still has time on his side and resumed his progression on his second start back from a lengthy absence when winning 9-runner handicap at Bangor (16.7f, good) just over 3 weeks ago. 8 lb higher and capable of kicking on granted a clear run at things. Bangor winner who may well be progressive enough to take the 8lb rise in his stride.
5 2nd (5) (13/8 +19%) Mostly Sunny	1.625 13/8(+19%)	(5) Mostly Sunny 13/8, Fairly useful 12f Flat winner for Heather Main and scored readily in this sphere for his new yard in 2m Huntingdon novice last month. Followed up from a generous opening handicap mark at Southwell (15.8f, soft) earlier this month and every chance he can complete the hat-trick. A 10lb rise demands further progress but that's feasible given connections.
9 3rd (9) (28/1 -250%) Right Now	28 28/1(-250%)	(9) Right Now 28/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat for Joseph O'Brien. Had cut little ice in 2 starts for Sheila Lewis but got his career back on track making his handicap debut minus cheekpieces for another new yard after 5 months off when scoring at Market Rasen earlier this month. Task is now to build on that. Came from a long way off the pace to win going away at Market Rasen.
7 4th (7) (150/1 -2627%) Forget The Way	150 150/1(-2627%)	(7) Forget The Way 150/1, Off the mark at Worcester last summer when trained by Alan King. Ran up to his best back hurdling after a chasing mishap when going down by a short head back at Worcester (16f, good) 11 days ago and it surely won't be much longer in adding to his sole win. Near miss at Worcester; up 2lb but Alex Chadwick claims 5lb here; considered.
2 5th (2) (250/1 -4067%) Elham Valley	250 250/1(-4067%)	(2) Elham Valley 250/1, Has made a promising start for his new yard, finishing runner-up for the second start in a row at Southwell (20.4f, soft) earlier this month. Looks sure to be winning again soon. Solid efforts in Southwell handicaps (2m-2m4f) for this yard and unlikely to be far away.
8 6th (8) (350/1 -2400%) Byzantine Empire	350 350/1(-2400%)	(8) Byzantine Empire 350/1, Back-to-back winner off higher marks over fences in summer 2022 but more miss than hit in various race-types since. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Not overly competitive under either code for current yard and looks opposable for now.
3 7th (3) (300/1 -4900%) Myristica	300 300/1(-4900%)	(3) Myristica 300/1, Fairly useful Flat performer who took very well to hurdles last summer, completing a maiden/novice hat-trick. Last seen in winning action at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) 8 months ago and returning just 2 lb higher, he warrants plenty of respect (has had a wind op). Off since October but was running well back then and she's since undergone wind surgery.
1 8th (1) (250/1 -2400%) Sonning	250 250/1(-2400%)	(1) Sonning 250/1, Inconsistent on the Flat in recent months, underperforming when down the field at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 11 days ago. Last seen in the sphere when winning at Musselburgh in November 2022 but it's tough to know what mood he will be in, so others look more solid. Won final hurdle race in late 2022; respectable Flat efforts since returning from absence.
6 9th (6) (450/1 -1264%) Cillians Charm	450 450/1(-1264%)	(6) Cillians Charm 450/1, Fairly useful form at best in Ireland, but after a 14-month absence off he made a discouraging start for his new yard when tailed off at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) earlier this month, possibly amiss. Fared no better at Worcester since, so others more persuasive. Twice tailed off in handicaps since returning from a long absence.

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

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

Maxcel showed the benefit of his Huntingdon reappearance when scooting clear at Bangor earlier this month. He must enter calculations off an 8lb higher rating, but the hat-trick seeking MOSTLY SUNNY looks slightly stronger. The Dan Skelton-trained five-year-old scored with plenty in hand at Southwell on his handicap debut and a 10lb hike in the ratings is unlikely to be the ceiling of his ability in this sphere. Fellow in-form rival Elham Valley may chase the pair home.

This can go to FORGET THE WAY, who has made a cracking start for this yard this season and surely won't be much longer in adding to his sole win. Mostly Sunny arrives on a hat-trick, and with further improvement on the cards, Dan Skelton's 5-y-o can give the selection most to think about, with Elham Valley and recent Market Rasen winner Right Now rounding off the shortlist.

Preference is for MAXCEL (nap), a low-mileage 7yo who comfortably beat a Bangor specialist three weeks ago.

16:55 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (4/1 +33%) Roll With It	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) Roll With It 4/1, Hurdles winner for Richard Spencer last summer and has translated that ability to fences for new stable in in recent weeks, finishing fifth here last month and third at Uttoxeter 15 days ago. Steps up in trip with cheekpieces added. Hurdle winner; two fair chase runs for this yard; cheekpieces tried; stamina to prove.
4 2nd (4) (11/1 +31%) Cash Again	11 11/1(+31%)	(4) Cash Again 11/1, Placed over hurdles and fences here for Ben Haslam last summer. Also a creditable third in a 3m Hexham handicap chase for this stable in September. Fit from a creditable run in a hunter here 32 days ago. Second in this race in 2023; 2lb higher; fair run in C&D hunter chase latest; place chance.
10 3rd (10) (20/1 -233%) Calahill	20 20/1(-233%)	(10) Calahill 20/1, Poor hurdler but did win a point prior to finishing a respectable fifth back hurdling at Downpatrick recently and that point background provides hope that he'll take to fences. Maiden point winner in May and fair fifth in 2m6f h'cap hurdle latest; chase debut.
5 4th (5) (40/1 -567%) Lights Are Green	40 40/1(-567%)	(5) Lights Are Green 40/1, C&D winner. Arrives on the back of a couple of respectable efforts at Hexham this month and likely to be in the thick of things back at a venue which suits. C&D winner on good last year; fair form since, including last time; chance.
3 5th (3) (25/1 -56%) The King Of May	25 25/1(-56%)	(3) The King Of May 25/1, Would be thrown in off this mark if anywhere near his best but he has struggled since finishing third over hurdles at Carlisle in November. Remains to be seen whether a return to fences sparks a revival. Last chase win was off 34lb higher in 2022; disappointing this year; stamina to prove.
6 6th (6) (100/1 -1150%) Macavity	100 100/1(-1150%)	(6) Macavity 100/1, Bumper/point winner who was second in a 3-runner Huntingdon hunter (23.5f, good to soft) for Jack Teal last month. Behind Lights Are Green when only sixth in a Hexham handicap for this yard since, though. Has won three points and a bumper; fair sixth at Hexham last time; others appeal more.
7 7th (7) (100/1 -900%) The Electrician	100 100/1(-900%)	(7) The Electrician 100/1, Bounced back to form to rout a ropey field from a much-reduced mark at Market Rasen last month but a 9 lb rise proved enough to find him out back there since. Three wins chasing, all at 2m4f/2m5f, latest in May; 9lb higher; stamina to prove.
9 8th (9) (100/1 -900%) Sputnik	100 100/1(-900%)	(9) Sputnik 100/1, Placed 5 times since his last win and stepped up on his reappearance when fourth of 11 in 3m Perth handicap hurdle 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go on for only a second time. Claims from his reduced mark. Two chase wins over 2m4f; fair fourth in 3m h'cap hurdle last time; a possible.
2 9th (2) (100/1 -1150%) Toucan Sam	100 100/1(-1150%)	(2) Toucan Sam 100/1, Modest maiden chaser who was placed on 3 occasions last month but needs to shrug off a poor run at Perth 3 weeks ago. 0-14, but placed in points and chases, latest when third last month; cheekpieces now tried.
8 10th (8) (100/1 -4344%) Baron Briggs	100 100/1(-4344%)	(8) Baron Briggs 100/1, Not the most fluent of jumpers but it didn't prevent him opening his chase account at Kelso (23.5f, soft) 5 weeks ago. A 5 lb rise doesn't look too severe if he can keep the errors down. Won Kelso 2m7f novice handicap on good to soft last time; up 5lb; chance.

16:55 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

BARON BRIGGS justified strong support in the market when opening his account at Kelso last month. The Ocovango gelding scored with something up his sleeve on that occasion and a 5lb rise looks far from insurmountable. The biggest threat is C&D winner Lights Are Green, who shaped better than the beaten distance suggests when finishing fourth at Hexham recently. The King Of May's interests could be sparked by a switch to chasing.

Perhaps former C&D scorer LIGHTS ARE GREEN will prove the answer to a trappy finale as his 2 Hexham efforts this month have been creditable and he's only 1 lb above the mark he defied here last summer. Last month's Kelso scorer Baron Briggs will be a threat if his jumping holds up, while Roll With It could also play a part if reacting well to first-time cheekpieces.

Recent Hexham fourth LIGHTS ARE GREEN is taken to win his second race over C&D by beating Kelso winner Baron Briggs.

Form	Odds	Runs
11 1st (11) (12/1 -50%) Indigo Five	12 12/1(-50%)	(11) Indigo Five 12/1, Course winner. 3/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good) 14 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Best form at 1m so will want a strong pace.
6 2nd (6) (12/1 -20%) Plume Noire	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Plume Noire 12/1, 1 win from 1 run this year. 9/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm) 42 days ago, driven out. Cheekpieces back on. Naas comeback win augurs well; rider's claim offsets rise so big player.
16 3rd (16) (28/1 -12%) Profit Refused	28 28/1(-12%)	(16) Profit Refused 28/1, Lightly-raced winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft, 22/1) 35 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Needs to take a fair step forward to feature here from 4lb out of handicap.
9 4th (9) (11/1 +21%) Dagoda	11 11/1(+21%)	(9) Dagoda 11/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft, 11/1) 62 days ago. Booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye. C&D winner wants softer ground.
2 5th (2) (12/1 -100%) Dance Night Andday	12 12/1(-100%)	(2) Dance Night Andday 12/1, 2 wins from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (6f, good, 10/3) 37 days ago, all out. Should remain competitive up another 5 lb. Much improved filly 13lb higher for two wins last month; upped in trip.
14 6th (14) (9/1 +55%) Raknah	9 9/1(+55%)	(14) Raknah 9/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in March. Creditable seventh of 30 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm, 80/1) 9 days ago. Good Ascot run on third turf start; 2lb wrong but rider's claim negates that; respected.
10 7th (10) (13/2 +7%) Ojw Legacy	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(10) Ojw Legacy 13/2, Career best when winning 18-runner maiden at this course (6.3f, good to firm, 2/1) 25 days ago. Makes handicap debut. More required. Recent maiden winner for whom trip should suit but opening mark on the high side.
4 8th (4) (16/1 -33%) Fast Tara	16 16/1(-33%)	(4) Fast Tara 16/1, Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Gowran (8f, heavy, 5/2) 52 days ago. Stable having good spell. Tongue strap on 1st time. Solid claims. Bit too keen over 1m recently; drop in trip could suit but quicker ground a concern.
5 9th (5) (7/2 +42%) Kayhana	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(5) Kayhana 7/2, Good second of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, good, 9/1) on reappearance 37 days ago. Stable having good spell. Expected to be bang there. Ran a cracker on return in 1m premier handicap last month; 3lb rise okay, big player.
7 10th (7) (18/1 -200%) Coumshingaun	18 18/1(-200%)	(7) Coumshingaun 18/1, Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 11/4, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Listowel (6.3f, good) 28 days ago, well on top finish. Merits consideration. Runaway Listowel winner up 9lb; stiff 7f here raises stamina concerns.
15 11th (15) (22/1 -38%) Karlsberg	22 22/1(-38%)	(15) Karlsberg 22/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 10/1, creditable seventh of 19 in handicap at this course (8f, good) 37 days ago. Okay run here latest; back in trip here but bit to do from 4lb out of handicap.
13 12th (13) (40/1 -150%) Matter Of Fact	40 40/1(-150%)	(13) Matter Of Fact 40/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9½ lengths ninth of 13 to Cherry Blossom in listed race at Cork (5.5f, good, 25/1) 51 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Difficult ask. Disappointing in Cork Listed on return; steps up in trip on handicap debut (3lb wrong).
8 13th (8) (14/1 -75%) Gunzburg	14 14/1(-75%)	(8) Gunzburg 14/1, Very good third of 13 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D (good) 36 days ago. Strong-finishing C&D third last month augurs well off just 1lb higher.
1 14th (1) (20/1 +20%) Mammas Girl	20 20/1(+20%)	(1) Mammas Girl 20/1, Creditable fourteenth of 24 in handicap (40/1) at Royal Ascot (8f, firm) 11 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Must improve. Last year's Nell Gwyn winner out of form so far this year.
12 15th (12) (20/1 -100%) Talia	20 20/1(-100%)	(12) Talia 20/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 10/3, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Down Royal (7f, good) 30 days ago. Yard in good form. Should continue to give a good account. Recent Down Royal winner up 4lb but may still have improvement in her.
3 16th (3) (100/1 -525%) Vasda	100 100/1(-525%)	(3) Vasda 100/1, Fairly useful 1m winner in France. Not obviously well handicapped but has joined a leading stable. The betting should help guide to expectations. French recruit, bought for 160,000euros; just may need this.

17:15 Curragh Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The Dermot Weld-trained KAYHANA can step up on her reappearance second at this venue. Having her first start since last September, the Aga Khan-owned filly only weakened late on over a mile and dropping back a furlong should be very much in her favour here. Naas winner Plume Noire had a bit in hand on that occasion so might still be fairly treated off a revised mark. The fact that James Ryan can take 5lb off is worth its weight in gold in a race of this nature. Dagoda seems to reserve her best for the Curragh, so the Jennifer Lynch-trained mare has to be a contender under Oisin Murphy.

KAYHANA gets the nod to build on an encouraging comeback run over 1m here, with the drop to 7f probably a help if anything. Fast Tara has run 2 solid races this term and heads the dangers along with Coumshingaun and Talia.

Only caught late on here on seasonal return over 1m on Guineas' weekend, KHAYANA should appreciate this drop in trip and gets the vote

17:50 Curragh Handicap 12f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (8/1 +0%) Zoffman	8 8/1(+0%)	(5) Zoffman 8/1, Course winner. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Cork (12f, good, 4/1) 16 days ago. Last year's second just denied at Cork latest; big player off same mark.
2 1st (2) (11/1 +8%) Star Harbour	11 11/1(+8%)	(2) Star Harbour 11/1, 12/1, creditable 2¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Saturn in handicap at this course (14f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Stable having good spell. Bold bid expected. Couple of solid runs here lately; return to this trip to suit and has to be considered.
1 2nd (1) (12/1 +0%) Safecracker	12 12/1(+0%)	(1) Safecracker 12/1, Won this race last year. Encouraging reappearance here last month but down the field at Royal Ascot (last week. Last year's winner off 4lb lower; never showed at Ascot but still respected.
8 3rd (8) (13/2 -8%) Lot Of Joy	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(8) Lot Of Joy 13/2, 6/1, respectable eleventh of 31 in Cesarewitch at Newmarket (18f, good to soft) when last seen in October. Off 8 months. Significantly back down in trip. Absent since midfield (fav) in Cesarewitch in October; ground to suit but wants further.
10 4th (10) (10/3 +17%) Intellotto	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(10) Intellotto 10/3, Useful hurdler. Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner maiden at Sligo (10.6f, good, 4/9) 46 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Open to progress. Very useful juvenile hurdler; unexposed on the Flat, no surprise if he proved competitive.
11 5th (11) (9/1 -80%) Pinot Gris	9 9/1(-80%)	(11) Pinot Gris 9/1, Two Flat wins last summer and arrives on the back of success in a 16-runner juvenile hurdle at Bellewstown (17f, good to soft, 2/5) 67 days ago, easily. Open to further improvement on the level. Back from hurdling; on a competitive mark and ground in his favour.
12 6th (12) (6/1 +0%) Carlo Bianconi	6 6/1(+0%)	(12) Carlo Bianconi 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable third of 10 in handicap (9/4) at Cork (12f, good) 16 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Trainer going well. Big player. Recent staying-on Cork third; interesting to see what tactics top US jockey employs.
7 7th (7) (33/1 -65%) War Correspondent	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) War Correspondent 33/1, Untrustworthy individual. Winner at Dundalk in February. 9/2, creditable third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not the easiest to win with; jockey booking encouraging but remains opposable.
4 8th (4) (11/4 +0%) Saturn	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(4) Saturn 11/4, Promising individual. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (5/4) at this course (14f, good to firm) 25 days ago, just holding on. Looks competitive on form. Improving 4yo on a roll and although 12lb higher now this year retains respect.
6 9th (6) (200/1 -150%) Mt Leinster	200 200/1(-150%)	(6) Mt Leinster 200/1, C&D winner. 150/1, well-beaten tenth of 11 to Saturn in handicap at this course (14f, good to firm) 25 days ago, very slowly away. Tongue strap back on. Uphill task. Did well under both codes for Willie Mullins; shown little for current yard though.
3 10th (3) (40/1 +0%) Dame Rapide	40 40/1(+0%)	(3) Dame Rapide 40/1, Course winner. 20/1, bit below form 10 lengths sixth of 11 to Saturn in handicap at this course (14f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Dual 1m6f winner here but below best in recent similar contest won by Saturn; bit to find.

17:50 Curragh Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Last year's runner-up ZOFFMAN was unable to get to Safecracker on that occasion but holds every chance at these revised weights. Fresh from a close second in the Cork Derby earlier this month, the five-year-old should go close under Colin Keane. The aforementioned Safecracker carried a big weight to victory in 2023, so the fact he has topweight is less of a concern. Johnny Murtagh's gelding seldom runs a bad race at this track. Having won twice over hurdles recently, Joseph O'Brien's lightly-raced Intellotto could be open to further improvement on the Flat this season.

SATURN can continue his progression and defy the handicapper again. The John Velazquez-ridden Carlo Bianconi definitely has a race in him off this sort of mark and is second choice ahead of stablemate Intellotto and Gavin Cromwell's Pinot Gris.

Very useful hurdler INTELLOTTO is unexposed on the Flat and should relish this trip

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.

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.
