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

A return to the Polytrack could see ALABAMA resume winning ways. He has found Pattern company tricky in his last four outings, but has a victory and a runner-up berth from three spins around Dundalk. Thunderbear is rated 104 on turf and gets in here off his much lower all-weather rating. Previous efforts on synthetic surfaces have been unconvincing, however, the suspicion is there is more to come from him. It is interesting to see Final Voyage drop back to a sprint trip. He has very notable form over further and should get plenty of pace to aim at here. Jered Maddox has won his last two races here and shouldn't be a backmarker.

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so HARRY'S HILL is taken to capitalise on a lenient mark and bag a second C&D win. Final Voyage could emerge as the main danger with fellow course scorer Jered Maddox another to consider.

A fine second to the subsequent Rockingham Handicap winner at Navan on his penultimate start, HARRY'S HILL can record a second C&D win

ROYAL POWER ran well for third in a Listed race at Goodwood on his reappearance and the unexposed Godolphin colt looks capable of going well on his handicap debut. Stable companion Endless Victory is not out of this either, while Chantilly drops back down in distance after a good effort at Royal Ascot and can figure. The progressive pair Rebaatt and Travolta have a hike in the ratings to contend with, but Candle Of Dubai is worth a second glance.

A cracking 3-y-o handicap with SUN GOD just about the most appealing proposition at the forecast prices. His 2-y-o win turned out to be strong form, and with a sound reappearance under his belt, he looks the type to benefit from a subsequent gelding operation. Travolta and Rebaatt are going the right way too, while Royal Power has the scope to rate higher.

Chantilly and INVOLVEMENT have proved themselves on testing ground. Royal Power is second choice.

13:57 Dundalk Claimer 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NOTFORALONGTIME has an excellent record over 7f in Dundalk and is taken to go in again. Indeed, he has won his last two C&D claimers and improvement upon his last three unplaced turf efforts looks more than likely. Cordouan has gone well fresh before so his long absence isn't a concern. The market should give a good indication as to his chances. Chestnutter went off favourite for a claiming race at Bellewstown and just lost out by half a length in second. She has the ability to get into contention. Macadam's Rock has to give weight away, but has been competing in higher grades and has a shot.

DYNAMIC FORCE is fancied to take a sizeable step forward on his second run for his current yard and regain winning ways in this very open handicap. Cordouan is weighted to go well so rates the chief danger, with Miqdaad and Chica Power also in the mix.

This C&D shows NOTFORALONGTIME in his best light and he has a good record in similar contests; he can overcome a wide draw

TOLSTOY has turned a corner since stepping back up to 7f on his last two starts, winning both of them on successive days at this track in June, and the manner of both victories suggested the five-year-old may well have more to offer, especially with his rider's 7lb claim to take advantage of. Quest For Fun was runner-up to the selection on the latter occasion and has to be a player off just 1lb higher. Others for the shortlist include Silver Samurai and Catch The Paddy.

The one who appeals most is BILLYB, who is clearly thriving for his new yard. He pulled nicely clear of the rest when runner-up in the Carlisle Bell and a reproduction of that effort would give him every chance. The only caveat is that he's done most of his racing on good/good to firm, so if the word 'soft' appears in the going description on the day that would be a slight concern. Quest For Fun is taken to reverse last month's C&D placings with Tolstoy and emerge as the main danger.

Big-field handicaps over 7f at York bring out the best in QUEST FOR FUN (nap) and he earns the vote ahead of No Nay Nicki.

Stockpyle has scored at Kempton and Chepstow recently and he is of clear interest in his hat-trick bid, but preference is for DREAMROCKER. Ed Walker's filly caught the eye when keeping on for third at York in May, before finishing a close-up second at Goodwood the following month. She's looked a little outpaced on both occasions so this stiff finish should suit, and pedigree suggests she will have no problem with any cut in the ground. Others to note include Powdering and last year's victor One Step Beyond.

The vote goes to DREAMROCKER, who was strong at the finish when runner-up at Goodwood last time and she promises to be suited by this stiffer track. The hat-trick seeking Stockpyle is an obvious danger and he is feared most ahead of Leuven Power and last year's winner One Step Beyond.

This race could suit the improving DREAMROCKER (nap) who has done well to hit the frame from unpromising positions the last twice.

HEAVENS GATE arrives on the back of a solid third in the Albany at Royal Ascot, where she finished comfortably ahead of the reopposing Mountain Breeze and looks set to run a big race. Mighty Eriu and Maw Lam filled the places in the Queen Mary over 5f at Ascot and both should see out this extra distance, but Arabian Dusk may prove a bigger threat on her third in a Listed race over C&D.

HEAVENS GATE sets the standard on her third to stablemate Fairy Godmother in the Albany and with more improvement to come, she could be hard to beat. Queen Mary second and third Mighty Eriu and Maw Lam are key players, while Tales of the Heart and Arabian Dusk filled the same positions in a listed race here recently and should have more to offer.

Queen Mary strong-finishers MIGHTY ERIU and Maw Lam are likely to show further progress over this extra furlong.

TOKENOMICS was noted making up plenty of ground for third over 1m in Leopardstown and ought to come home well from a wide draw. Rebelsontherun has the advantage of having dead-heated over C&D in February. He couldn't land a blow over further on his next start, but a return to form is probable in this company. Handicap debutant Ateenosix, with a hood fitted and a 7lb claimer booked, is one to note. De Janeiro didn't run badly in fifth in a fillies' maiden over C&D last November. She is unexposed and gets a first-time visor.

A competitive 3-y-o event that can go to DE JANEIRO, who could do a lot better now handicapping back up in trip. Tokenomics and Ateenosix are just a couple of the other likely players.

It wan't a bad run against the older horses by \LUXURY ISLAND\p at Down Royal and she might be able to slot into a good position from trap 3

UNEQUAL LOVE continues her progression up the ladder and backed up a Listed success at Newmarket when taking the Wokingham at Royal Ascot. Connections were slightly concerned about fast ground on that occasion but, with plenty of rain falling on the Knavesmire earlier in the week, the daughter of Dutch Art may well have a bigger performance in the locker. Nell Gwyn heroine Pretty Crystal didn't stay in the 1000 Guineas and has to be respected dropping back to sprinting, while Raqiya and Great Generation are both capable of further improvement.

UNEQUAL LOVE's Wokingham success off a mark of 102 was a big performance and it's the clear standout piece of form in this event, so she gets the vote over Great Generation, who boasts a progressive profile. The thriving Adaay In Devon can't be ignored.

Wokingham winner UNEQUAL LOVE holds leading form claims on the back of that Royal Ascot handicap win. Funny Story is feared.

Only a tentative vote can go to the Eve Johnson Houghton-trained PATSY SNUGFIT. She's shown clear promise across her three starts and the latest of those at Windsor, won by subsequent Listed winner Celandine, suggests an opening mark of 72 is within range. Ground conditions will be no barrier to success for Number and he is perhaps the main threat. Berkshire Kameo does not lack for speed and the son of Kameko is also noted.

This looks pretty trappy and the suggestion is NEW CHARTER, who split a couple of potentially pretty decent fillies in a 7f Newmarket maiden last time and this drop back in trip will be in her favour. Berkshire Kameo and Art Market may both have more to offer now venturing down the nursery route and are feared in that order of preference, while Number also enters the reckoning.

The vote goes to William Haggas' progressive ART MARKET who looks ready to take a sizeable step forward now he goes into nursery company

TIDES OF WAR made the most of a lenient mark to land a competitive contest over this trip at Goodwood last time. A 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor David Simcock's charge now he's got his head back in front. Fairbanks finished in front of Bague D'or when sixth in the Duke Of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot, although the latter is a C&D winner and is fancied to turn the tables, while Fox Journey disappointed at Ascot but it's too soon to write him off.

Having proved as good as ever when successful over this trip on the Rowley Mile course in May, BAGUE D'OR seemed to find the drop back in trip against him when finishing midfield in a big-field Royal Ascot handicap 3 weeks ago. Boasting an excellent record here, he could be worth siding with to come out on top back at 1¾m. Beamish is another to bear in mind with his Ascot run best overlooked. Fairbanks and Zoffee are a couple of others worthy of factoring in.

The Johnston stable's good record in this race may be continued with KNIGHTSWOOD. Next on the list are Zoffee and Fairbanks.

Johnny Murtagh's SHAMSUDDIN looks well worth a go on the Polytrack in a bid to shed his maiden tag. He has been runner-up three times and his sire's progeny have a decent record on all-weather surfaces. Willie Browne and Seamie Heffernan are a more than useful partnership in Dundalk and they team up with Polaris Dancer. He was only beaten half a length and a short head into third over this trip in Limerick and is another making his Polytrack debut. Plenty of headgear is reached for on Il Sovrano after a mid-division finish on debut at the Curragh and there are winners in his pedigree. Shamsuddin's stablemate, Rayzhanka, performed with promise in third over C&D last November and the form is working out well.

SHAMSUDDIN did nothing wrong when finding just one too good again at Gowran and can open his account if proving as effective on the polytrack now. Polaris Dancer and Rayzhanka are likely improvers and set to go well.

We'll take a chance with PRINCESS AUREA, who ran on nicely over 7f at Limerick and can improve again; she's a sister to an AW winner

ROYALTY BAY won well on debut at Ripon before running with plenty of credit behind the smart Fairy Godmother in the Albany at Royal Ascot. She has less on her plate today and is fancied to get back on the winning trail, possibly at the main expense of Miss Hathaway. Tim Easterby's filly is still a maiden after four starts but her experience ought to stand her in good stead and she appeals more than Enigmatic Princess, who has shown signs of promise.

ROYALTY BAY has a lot less on her plate than when a very good sixth in Royal Ascot's Albany Stakes last time out so gets the nod in this intriguing novice. Roger Varian's Spherical also has her sights lowered and should ensure the selection doesn't have things all her own way though. Miss Hathaway has some fair form to her name too and shouldn't be underestimated.

Albany sixth ROYALTY BAY has the most compelling form and is much preferred.

Magnum Opus picked up off a strong pace at Pontefract recently and, though respected, he might be vulnerable under a penalty. Global Asset is officially 3lb well-in having struck the woodwork at Nottingham on Saturday and he could find more for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, but it is EBT'S GUARD who shades the vote. The Cable Bay colt bumped into one at Yarmouth a fortnight ago and a 5lb rise looks fair.

There should be more to come from T'CHALLA, who pulled clear with another well-bred type when opening his account at Windsor and has been handed what looks a fair mark for this handicap debut. William Haggas has saddled the winner of this race a couple of times in recent years and his representative Global Asset is a big threat having done little wrong on each of his three starts this season. Ebt's Guard and Magnum Opus are others to consider.

There should be a big run in APIARIST who ran well from off the pace at Haydock after being dropped in from a wide draw.

Having dug deep to land the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot last month, dual Group 1 winner PORTA FORTUNA arrives on the back of a career-best performance. The daughter of Caravaggio should prove a warm order and further glory looks imminent. Running Lion looked better than ever when scoring in the Duke Of Cambridge and the Gosdens' filly may give the selection most to think about, ahead of the unexposed A Lilac Rolla.

PORTA FORTUNA impressed with the way she picked off one who got first run on her at Royal Ascot and can become the first since Alpha Centauri in 2018 to complete the Coronation/Falmouth double. Fellow Irish-trained 3-y-o filly A Lilac Rolla has improved with each start and could be the one to give her most to do if that trend continues.

Being still unbeaten over a bare 1m, smart 4yo RUNNING LION (nap) gets the verdict. Porta Fortuna is feared most.

VENETIAN showed more when beaten less than three lengths into second at Tipperary and into fourth at Listowel, so can be a contender off a mark of 59 on his return to Polytrack. The Bog Bank has won twice over C&D and bounced right back to form in good style at Bellewstown last week. She is racing off 11lb higher, but still looks one of the more likely winners of this contest. Feature This is more than capable of having a say if on a going day. Her form is in and out, though. Stop On Red recovered from a slow start to finish fourth behind The Bog Bank in Bellewstown and would have a chance if breaking better.

SIRJACK THOMAS lurks on a career-low mark and could be worth chancing. The Bog Bank and Venetian are a couple of the other likely players.

The Bog Bank has a good record in this race and won last time, but LAUROLINE has form claims and can be excused recent defeats.

Handicap debutant Solomon was last seen finishing third to Guineas winner Notable Speech at Kempton in February and an opening mark of 86 looks lenient on that evidence. However, WHISKEY PETE, who won here last October, posted a creditable fifth in the Golden Gates at Royal Ascot last month and he might be worth taking a chance on now eased in class. The free-going Al Rufaa was more amenable in the Carlisle Bell last time and would not be without a chance if able to build on that performance.

Plenty are in with a shout but William Haggas' unexposed SOLOMON appeals as a likely improver now stepping into handicaps with his stamina drawn our more so edges the vote. Ralph Beckett's course winner Whiskey Pete is another with better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of Karmology, Stressfree, Masekela, Titian and Bint Al Daar in this cracking handicap.

Despite the claims of the unexposed Solomon the choice is WHISKEY PETE who is down in grade after fair runs at Epsom and Ascot.

LOUGHVILLE looked a progressive handicapper to keep very much on the right side of when running out a comfortable winner over 1m2f at Wetherby on her penultimate start and, after shaping with more credit than the bare result suggests over the same trip when third at Chester most recently, she gets the vote to return to winning ways upped in trip off an unchanged mark. The unexposed Galaxy Princess merits respect on her handicap debut, while Irish raider La Dame Blanche is noted too.

GALAXY PRINCESS seems sure to improve now handicapping upped in trip and makes the most appeal. Irish raider La Dame Blanche is of firm interest, while Flash Bardot is another to consider.

Mothecombe is related to some smart types, including the Group 3 winner Fairy Cross, and any market support for Charlie Appleby's newcomer must be noted. However, MOUNT KILIMANJARO is taken to build on his fifth-placed debut over 7f at Leopardstown in May and that experience could prove to be vital. Recent Doncaster third Field Of Gold is another likely improver and the Kingman colt completes the shortlist.

MOUNT KILIMANJARO is clearly well regarded judged on his Group 1 entries and, having shaped as if better for the run in what is traditionally a hot maiden at Leopardstown in May, he earns the vote to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Mothecombe is a most interesting newcomer, and it could prove significant that Buick prefers him to Royal Officer, with Field of Gold another to take seriously having shaped with plenty of encouragement behind an experienced pair at Doncaster.

First choice is FIELD OF GOLD, ahead of Mount Kilimanjaro. Several of the newcomers have good credentials.

The vote goes to TITAINIUM, who justified strong market support to record a breakthrough success at Newcastle last month. The manner in which Grant Tuer's charge kept on over 7f that day would suggest he can be even better now upped to the mile, for all that an 8lb rise will make things tougher. Tiaraqueen struck on her return at Wetherby recently and she is of clear interest now sent handicapping, while others to note include Drink Dry and Sisyphean.

DRINK DRY was impressive when scoring at Beverley last time and the form is backed up by the time, so he gets the marginal vote over Tiaraqueen, whose Wetherby success has been boosted in no uncertain terms by the winner. Titainium has more to offer, particularly now upped in trip, so he's another one to consider.

The William Haggas-trained TIARAQUEEN won a big-field novice at Wetherby last month and could prove to be better than her opening mark.

SLIM MARVEL is worth another chance here having run better than her final placing suggests at Bellewstown on Saturday. Runner-up at Wexford on her previous start, the Andrew Slattery-trained mare was short of room at a crucial stage last time, before running on again to finish sixth. A consistent sort in recent starts, the six-year-old looks to have solid claims of opening her account over hurdles. Listowel second Magic Dawn has to be a contender for the in-form Gordon Elliott yard. A former point-to-point winner, the daughter of Doyen should appreciate stepping back up in trip. Four Clean Aces needs to improve on her bare form over flights but the unbeaten bumper winner is in the right hands to do just that.

SLIM MARVEL sets the standard on the pick of her form and is the percentage call to get off the mark in an ordinary maiden. Magic Dawn can give another good account back up in trip, with Ciao Adios taken to fill the places.

No outstanding candidate but it could pay to side with the experienced MAGIC DAWN back up in trip here

Specialisation has showed enough in his three qualifying runs to suggest that he can play a hand in a race of this nature, and he must be respected on his handicap bow. However, preference is for CONDOR PASA. Roger Varian's charge opened his account with the minimum of fuss over 1m1f at Carlisle last month and, upped in trip on his handicap debut, another bold showing looks assured. Mafnood can also get involved.

CONDOR PASA looked very professional when scoring at Carlisle and as an improving 3-y-o making his handicap debut from what could be a lenient mark, his claims are fairly obvious. Miller Spirit is quirky but it's hard to knock him of late so he's a threat, with Mustazeed one to consider at likely longer odds.

Preference is for MAFNOOD, who did well when dividing older rivals at Newmarket last time, ahead of Condor Pasa.

Metabolt has to be of interest having scored twice last month but marginal preference is for GISBURN. Richard Hannon's gelding has been catching the eye when staying on late over 6f of late and he could take advantage of a lenient handicap mark now up in trip. Smoky Mountain remains unexposed and some promise can be taken from his Goodwood effort last time, while Zouzanna is also noted.

ZOUZANNA bounced back to her best when third at Newbury last time, staying on behind a pair who were up with the pace throughout, so she can build on that effort to return to winning ways. Gisburn also caught the eye having not been ideally placed on his latest outing, so he heads the list of potential dangers, with Eminency another to note making only his second start at 7f.

The suggestion is VALIDATED, who was not beaten far in a hot 3yo handicap in May, having been poorly positioned throughout.

PSALM didn't appear to stay the extended 1m4f trip in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal, but this distance is certainly in his ballpark. He was runner-up over similar trips at Cork in April and May, and Jack Cleary takes a useful 7lb off his back. Ozark Daze caught a tartar when a remote second in the Curragh behind a subsequent Group 3 winner. His placed form entitles him to be on the premises here, though. Raydamann finished third behind Ozark Daze in the Curragh and is a well-bred sort, so there should be more to come from her on her third start. Dermot Weld introduces Dubawi colt Tiding who is worth checking for market strength, while Aeronautic and Timurshah are far from out of contention.

Newcomer TIDING ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Aeronautic and Raydamann have both shown promise and, with improvement on the cards, they may emerge as the main dangers ahead of the more established performers Psalm and Ozark Daze.

Aidan O'Brien's PSALM is now 0-5 but deserves another chance in maiden company after patently failing to stay 1m5f on handicap debut.

WEN MOON shaped with more promise than the result suggests when finishing fifth over 5f at Chester last month and, after bumping into a smart performer when runner-up over 6f at Pontefract earlier this week, it would be no surprise if he were able to go one place better off the same mark back at the minimum trip. The ageless Copper Knight is the type to bounce back quickly and he must enter calculations, despite a low-key effort at Newcastle recently. A 4lb penalty for a recent Nottingham victory doesn't discount Never Dark either.

NEVER DARK had a bit to spare at Nottingham last weekend and might be up to defying a penalty. Wen Moon has won here before and should go well if handling the quick turnaround from Pontefract on Tuesday. C&D specialist Copper Knight also makes the shortlist along with The Coffee Pod.

The 10yo COPPER KNIGHT won at Chester two starts ago and this seven-time course winner is taken to bounce back to form now back here.

In what looks an ordinary affair for the grade, the 104-rated TIME FOR TEA may be good enough to get off the mark. Henry de Bromhead's lightly raced mare has shown enough in five starts to suggest she can win races. While handicaps possibly represent her best opportunity, this doesn't appear to be the strongest of maidens. Recent Bellewstown third Churchwarden is steadily improving since switching to jumping. A fair 74-rated handicapper on the level, the John McConnell-trained gelding has run well on a couple of occasions of late. Naas runner-up King Kali had excuses at Tipperary last time. A reproduction of his earlier effort would make the Sean Byrne-trained eight-year-old a serious contender.

CHURCHWARDEN wasn't at his very best when third at Bellewstown last week but even a repeat of that form should see him go close at the least here. Henry de Bromhead's Time For Tea will be a danger if recapturing the form she showed when fourth at Downpatrick last winter. Gordon Elliott's Someone's Wish has been running with credit in handicaps in recent weeks and also makes the shortlist.

If able to run to anything like her Down Royal run last season TIME FOR TEA (nap) could take some beating, receiving all the allowances

In a wide-open affair in which a case can be made for many, just a tentative vote goes to GLENFINNAN. The son of Harry Angel was last seen finishing an excellent fifth in the Wokingham here last month and, sporting first-time cheekpieces off an unchanged mark, this C&D winner looks the one to side with. Fresh is well handicapped on old form and he may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Jarraaf.

EXECUTIVE DECISION's form last summer reads very well and having confirmed that she's back in good order at Epsom last time, she now looks ready to cash in on her reduced mark. Glenfinnan will find this easier than the Wokingham so he should be right in the mix, with Jarraaf another to consider at the other end of the weights.

The 3yo JARRAAF continues to give the impression there's more to come and dropping back to sprinting could be the trigger he needs.

A chance is taken on PHOENIX OF DREAMS, who has shaped with promise in each of his three appearances in maiden/novice company and now starts handicap life off a fair-looking mark of 78. Devious Devan has been knocking on the door and will likely be in the shake-up once again, while Sub Thirteen warrants respect having won three of his last four outings.

SUB THIRTEEN found a bit of improvement to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Leicester last month and on the back of a small rise, Tony Carroll's charge can add another success to his tally at the expense of sole filly Miss Information, who took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Newmarket last time. Devious Devan can edge out Silver Trumpet for third.

It's hard to look away from SUB THIRTEEN, who's won three races this year. Phoenix Of Dreams is second best on his handicap debut.

NO HALF MEASURES has progressed well this year and outran odds of 50/1 when filling third place in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot last month. Off just a 1lb higher mark here, the daughter of Cable Bay could be hard to stop. Good Good Good has to be of some interest now switched to handicaps having won both of her starts in novice company, while Almaty Star and Isle Of Lismore are others who could go well.

An open-looking sprint to end the card but preference is for NO HALF MEASURES, who can have her latest third in a big-field Royal Ascot handicap marked up given she was first home in her group and the booking of Ryan Moore certainly catches the eye. Second choice is Good Good Good, who is 2-2 and looks a filly worth keeping onside now handicapping, while Isle of Lismore and Fantasy Master are another couple worth mentioning, too.

Richard Hughes's filly NO HALF MEASURES drops in grade after her honourable third at Royal Ascot last month and gets the nod.

DARK OAK is of definite interest on handicap debut. She has been placed in two of her outings in maidens and although outgunned in second at Down Royal, the winner has since come home a close fourth in a Group 3. Colin Keane stays loyal from that Down Royal effort. Eskimo Komet has plenty of weight, but could defy it. He was only collared in the closing stages at Limerick and finished third. Prior to that, he performed creditably over C&D on a couple of occasions this year. Bright N Shine has been off since November, but was in good form on the sand when last seen.

DARK OAK has progressed with each start to date, finishing runner-up on her latest outing in a Down Royal maiden, and, very much the type to go on improving now handicapping, she makes appeal again partnered by Colin Keane. The returning Bright N Shine and Wajaaha are others worth a look. Eskimo Komet is another fancied to be on the premises.

A chance is taken on the unexposed AVONDALE who showed promise in maidens and again on his belated return to action over hurdles.

COCKALORUM could send his supporters home on a high in a wide-open finale. He cosily accounted for a subsequent winner over 1m2f at Beverley last month and, upped in trip off a 3lb higher mark, he makes most appeal. Kitsune Power was last seen winning over 1m6f at Thirsk and he warrants respect upped 3lb, for all that the step back in trip asks a question of him. Good Too and Piecederesistance are a couple of others who must enter calculations.

KITSUNE POWER had more in hand than the half-length winning margin at Thirsk last time and is selected to make light of a 3 lb rise. Good Too made a successful start for new trainer Adam West at Kempton 16 days ago and is second choice ahead of Soowaih and Noble Anthem.

This can go to GOOD TOO, who was strong at the finish when winning over 1m3f on his stable debut last time. Toshizou is next best.

Having improved over fences in recent times, THE BIG CHAP has to be of interest back over hurdles here. The Paul Flynn-trained seven-year-old is rated 13lb below his current chase mark so may be able to exploit that on a track where he has been successful in the past. While this may well be a prep run before reverting to fences, the gelding has run well off a break previously. Listowel third War Correspondent has only one hurdle win to his name but is undoubtedly well treated relative to his mark on the level. It would be no surprise to see the Ray Cody-trained grey involved. Rated much higher at one stage of his career, Ballywilliam Boy has gradually been finding his form in recent months.

CHAMPELLA has been shaping up well recently and is taken to resume winning ways. Hands On wasn't seen to best effect on his Punchestown handicap debut and remains an interesting one for handicaps, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Ballywilliam Boy was a good second at Tramore last week and also makes the shortlist along with Luminous Light.

Very open but perhaps NATURAL LOOK can make an immediate repayment for her new connections

Glitterati improved on his debut effort when runner-up at Nottingham and any further improvement would see him go very close here, but INVINCIBLE CROWN shades the verdict. Richard Hughes' colt has steadily been edging closer to the target with each start to date and the form of his last-time-out second at Windsor just about sets the standard. Baylando and Silca Bay are other respected players.

INVINCIBLE CROWN produced just about his best effort to date when runner-up at Windsor earlier this month and Richard Hughes's colt can go a place better at the expense of Glitterati, who still looked a work in progress off the bridle at Nottingham just over a fortnight ago and can progress again. Silca Bay and Baylando can fight out minor honours.

The Murphy/Keady has a modest strike-rate with 2yos and BAYLANDO likely has improvement in him. Glitterati is next best.

The Flying Seagull boasts the advantage of course form having got off the mark on his latest start and Hugo Palmer's colt has to enter calculations, despite giving away a penalty to the opposition. The vote, though, goes to BRIGHTON BOY, who stepped forward from his debut when runner-up at Salisbury. Andrew Balding's colt hung left on that occasion, but that may not be as much of an issue if proving able to grab the rail from a good draw. Qaseem completes the shortlist.

THE FLYING SEAGULL made all in good style here a fortnight ago and is taken to follow up under a penalty. Brighton Boy and Equalised both have races in them and are feared most in a pretty open maiden.

After bumping into an improver at Redcar, QASEEM may make a breakthrough by edging out the C&D winner The Flying Seagull.

Fourth over fences at Clonmel last time, ONEFORTHEDITCH might be able to open her account under rules now. The Eamonn Francis Gallagher-trained mare had won a point-to-point Ballindenisk on her previous outing. Relatively lightly raced over hurdles, the Shirocco mare had finished second at Cork last October. Recent Sligo sixth Hollow Spark had run well when third at Tramore on her penultimate start. The form of that latter race received a boost when the winner followed up at Cork on his next outing. Dual point-to-point winner Beau's Candle is interesting in first-time blinkers. Runner-up over hurdles at Punchestown in February, the Declan Queally-trained gelding failed to complete on two subsequent starts.

Having run his best race to date when runner-up on yard debut at Punchestown in February, BEAU'S CANDLE had yet to be asked for hs effort when falling 2 out at Downpatrick 4 weeks ago and he's worth another chance with blinkers now reached for. Onefortheditch and Hatfield Hammer are others to consider.

There should be more to come from HATFIELD HAMMER and he can improve enough from his solid Roscommon run last time.

HOWZAK has been in excellent form at this track recently, building on three solid placed efforts when getting his nose in front over 6f last time, and he might be able to defy a 3lb rise. Betweenthesticks is 1-2 over C&D and is now really well treated off 64 on old form. Sugar Hill Babe, So Smart and Sovereign Slipper also hold claims in a competitive handicap.

SOVEREIGN SLIPPER shaped well back on turf at Windsor, leaving the impression that he is coming to hand, and the 6-y-o is taken to resume winning ways. Rhubarb will have a good chance of reversing Wednesday's Ffos Las placings with Bama Lama, assuming that they both go to post, on 5 lb better terms, while recent course winner Howzak is also shortlisted.

This is a bit easier than the handicaps SUGAR HILL BABE has been contesting and she gets the nod. Howzak should go well again too.

DUKES OF HAATHER was presented with a golden opportunity to shed his maiden tag when suffering interference in a C&D seller last month. Now sporting blinkers for the first time on his nursery bow, he has every chance of making amends. Megalithic's second at Epsom arguably sets the standard, even if he underperformed subsequently at Newbury. The extra furlong should be in his favour, while Moon Sniper is likely to find this grade more to his liking after struggling in the Chesham at Royal Ascot.

MEGALITHIC looked a work-in-progress in his qualifying runs and the combination of 7f and the switch to a nursery is expected to elicit an improved showing. Moon Sniper is back in much calmer waters and is a definite threat from stall 2, with Sunday's Carlisle winner Greek Gift also of interest.

Ralph Beckett's MEGALITHIC looks to have more to offer now he steps into nursery company with his stamina drawn out more so gets the nod

A reproduction of her recent fourth at Roscommon would probably be good enough to see KATHERINE register a second career success. The form of that latter race received a boost when the runner-up went on to win at Sligo next time. Given that she was only beaten a length by that subsequent winner despite being short of room at a crucial stage, the Adrian Sexton-trained mare should go close. As she has run some of her best races on tight right-handed tracks such as this, Cruisin Susan has to be considered. Although yet to add to her Tramore maiden win from almost two years ago, the Walk In The Park mare has run well on a number of occasions. Having shown definite improvement on her latest two runs, Sydney Cruiser commands respect in a first-time hood.

This is a weak contest and it's worth chancing the well-handicapped CRUISIN SUSAN, who took a step back in the right direction at Tramore last time. Sydney Cruiser is worthy of respect and Kilashee could get competitive despite her quirks.

An unexposed mare who has been running well in defeat in maidens and handicaps lately, SYDNEY CRUISER is worth a chance.

It's hard to look beyond KALAMA SUNRISE, who completed a four-timer at Leicester last time. Jack Channon's filly is 3lb well-in before her revised mark kicks in and she's likely to prove a warm order. The biggest threat might be Rival, who found only an in-form opponent too strong at Windsor recently, while an improved bid from the distance-dropping Sparkling Belle would come as no surprise.

KALAMA SUNRISE has been thriving since the application of cheekpieces, storming clear to complete the 4-timer at Leicester 6 days ago, and she is the one to beat in her current form. The biggest threat could be Rival, who was edged out only late on at Windsor last time, with Milvus completing the shortlist.

Cheekpieces have transformed KALAMA SUNRISE, who's 3lb well-in under the penalty. Rival rates the main danger.

COUP DE FORCE has been knocking on the door this season at Windsor and the five-year-old may have been found a suitable opportunity to get her head back in front. Dickieburd's recent efforts at this track would entitle him to a place on the shortlist, especially dropping in grade, while Hyperfocus isn't handicapped out of things being just 2lb higher than his victory here over 6f last month.

DICKIEBURD arrives having run well on each of his last 2 starts in course handicaps, latterly when fifth from a tricky draw, and he could be worth siding with to resume winning ways back on his last winning mark. Danger Alert caught the eye at Windsor last time and he's a threat. Veteran Hyperfocus is a player with a repeat of his performance that saw him come out on top over 6f here 4 weeks ago.

Despite being raised 12lb for an easy Punchestown win in May, WESTERN MODEL should be capable of following up. With the seven-length runner-up easily landing a competitive handicap at Listowel on his next start and the third just beaten a head at Bellewstown, the form has a strong look. Paul Nolan's five-year-old seems to appreciate a decent surface so the less rain that falls, the better his chances. Pat Doyle's Safran Et Bleu won a handicap over course and distance last time. Although subsequently raised 6lb, his riders claim brings him right back into contention. Another recent course and distance winner Reserve Judgement has more on his plate here but can't be ruled out given he is proven around this tight track.

This could a be a good race for the grade with WESTERN MODEL and Safran Et Bleu last-time-out winners and unexposed over 3m, while Ceanndana has been in top form over fences of late. Marginal preference is for the Paul-Nolan trained inmate.

Though WESTERN MODEL got a hefty hike for winning eaily at Punchestown last time, he is a young, improving horse and can defy that.

Recent all-weather winner Monsieur Patat is sure to prove popular in his quest to land a hat-trick and the seven-year-old must enter calculations shouldering a 4lb penalty. However, the David Evans-trained LADY WINGALONG makes slightly more appeal after finishing a close-up second at both Lingfield and Brighton of late. Bungle Bay may prove next best, ahead of Believe You Me and Gilt Edge.

Having missed 2023, MONSIEUR PATAT has won 2 of his 3 starts this year having joined Adrian Wintle, recording a wide-margin success at Wolverhampton on Monday, so he looks to hold leading claims under a penalty. Lady Wingalong showed improved form in defeat when a close second at Brighton last time and is feared most, ahead of Fact Or Fable.

Well treated under a 4lb penalty for Monday's easy AW win, MONSIEUR PATAT (nap) is the one to beat. American Rose is second choice.

Gloucestershire is another interesting contender on his first start back with Martyn Meade, while Bodorgan also holds solid form claims and can go well, assuming he can negotiate a route through from his wide draw.

SO DEUCE looks to start life in handicaps on an attractive mark so is fancied to follow up his easy breakthrough Leicester maiden success. Last year's victor Dream Harder should ensure Roger Varian's Lope De Vega colt doesn't have things all his own way however. Tele Red and Gloucestershire also look ready to step forward and should be in the mix in a competitive handicap.

Roger Varian's SO DEUCE readily got off the mark at Leicester and can follow up now up in trip on his handicap debut.

Recent Mayo National runner-up SALVADOR ZIGGY might be able to go one place better under Jake Coen. Despite having to concede weight all round, the Gordon Elliot-trained eight-year-old has the class to be involved at the finish. Even at these revised weights, the gelding has every chance of confirming form with those that finished behind him at Ballinrobe last time. Stablemate Tullybeg is certainly one that may have taken a step forward from that aforementioned race. A staying on fifth on that occasion, it was only the geldings second start since November. A previous course winner, the nine-year-old has the services of Danny Gilligan in the plate. Mousey Brown took full advantage of a lenient chase mark of late but will need to take another step forward to complete the hat-trick.

Thriving-mare MOUSEY BROWN has gone up plenty in the weights on the back of her Punchestown victory 33 days ago, yet she ran out a most impressive winner then and just about shades the vote to come out on top again and complete the hat-trick given she remains unexposed over staying trips. Amirite, Duffle Coat and Salvador Ziggy are others to consider. Ontheropes is another with claims on the pick of his form in this sphere.

AMIRITE is still relatively lightly-raced over fences and his fine run in the Bet365 Gold Cup is as strong form as on offer here.

NATIVE KING overcame a wider draw when he scored comfortably over this C&D last month and, open to any amount of improvement on just his second start in a handicap/second run for Hugo Palmer, a 6lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent the three-year-old from following up. Elder horses Evocative Spark and Spioradalta also boast winning form at this unique track and they are feared most.

NATIVE KING swept past the whole field when scoring over C&D on his debut for this yard and the form is looking strong, so he gets the nod over Society Lion, who is chasing a hat-trick. Spioradalta also comes into the reckoning with the softer conditions in his favour.

This features some Chester regulars, including 2023 winner Spioradalta. However, the improving 3yo NATIVE KING is a confident pick.

The Joseph O'Brien-trained PRAIRIE DANCER can register a first career success over fences. A high class flat handicapper who also won on four occasions over hurdles, the six-year-old shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up at Tipperary on his most recent outing over fences. Entitled to improve from that, his second ever chase, the gelding should be ideally suited to making the running around a tight track such as this. Although a long way behind Prairie Dancer at Tipperary, Bardenstown Lad returned to form when winning over hurdles at this venue last time. A former winning point-to-pointer, the John McConnell-trained gelding has to be a contender. Limerick runner-up Stuzzikini is another to consider, especially as a former course winner over hurdles here.

PRAIRIE DANCER ran well on his latest effort in this sphere and, having performed respectably on the Flat last time, he makes most appeal. Bardenstown Lad is an obvious threat if he can reproduce his hurdles form and Stuzzinki should be involved.

Perhaps an opportunity for PRAIRIE DANCER to score at the third attempt chasing, this turning track likely to suit the front-runner

Cubana Habana has made the frame on both starts this year and edges out Cherryhawk to be best of the rest.

WALTER HARTWRIGHT is improving fast and had plenty to spare again at Beverley last time, so he's worth a chance to land the hat-trick at the possible expense of Lhebayeb, who returns to the Flat after a respectable effort over timber. Rebel Angel is considered, too.

The 3yo Walter Hartright will be all the rage after two easy wins but is worth taking on with C&D winner CHERRYHAWK.

BERKSHIRE PHANTOM had a more attractive draw when he won over an extended 7f here last month but given he was forced to switch to the centre when coming with his challenge that day, a berth in stall 10 might not be such a hinderance if he can deliver a similar power-packed finish off just 2lb higher. Chalk Mountain is one to monitor in the betting market back on turf and having undergone wind surgery since last seen, while Danzart appeals for a place.

BERKSHIRE PHANTOM is in the winning habit this year and might be able to add to last month's course success. Chalk Mountain was in good form when last seen and, from a handy draw, might provide the chief threat if ready to roll after an 8-month lay-off. American Star is down to a mark he really ought to be making an impact from and also makes the shortlist.

A wide draw is a negative for Berkshire Phantom and American Star, so a chance is taken on Hugo Palmer's MASTER FRANCA instead.

About U.K Horse Racing

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

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

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

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

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

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