VALOUR AND SWAGGER failed to make an impact in the Woodcote last month, but, having raced keenly out wide, that performance can be forgiven. The son of Blue Point sluiced up on soft ground to make a winning debut in April and lost nothing in defeat when finishing second at Ascot the following month. The return to slower ground conditions ought to be in his favour and Karl Burke's charge is fancied to give weight and a beating to his rivals. Ganesha appeals as his main danger, while Indication Call heads the remainder.

On her third start, SAYIDH KINGMAN produced her best effort when not beaten far at this course last time and she can continue her progress back down in trip for her handicap debut. Charlie Johnston's filly is taken to get the better of Valour And Swagger, who could get back on track now handicapping, while Ganesha also merits consideration.

Topweight VALOUR AND SWAGGER showed plenty of promise on soft going in the first half of the spring and gets the nod.

A game winner of his last two starts, Level Up can go close if anywhere near that form. However, the vote goes to CONNIE'S ROSE, who has been fairly consistent this season and scored by three quarters of a length at Bath last time out. She has gone up 4lb for that success which may not be enough to prevent another bold bid. Penguin Island adds further spice to the race.

CONNIE'S ROSE has already won twice over C&D this year and resumed winning ways at Bath last time, so is fancied to continue her good spell and notch a fourth win of the campaign. Gannon Glory was back to his best on his final outing for Richard Fahey last time and is interesting now with the Archie Watson yard, with Penguin Island and the in-form Level Up others to consider.

Consistent maiden PENGUIN ISLAND is unexposed at 5f and may be capable of getting off the mark. Some Nightmare is second choice.

TEN CARD BRAG kept on well to score in novice company at Lingfield, seeing off subsequent winner Bigger Than Giga into third, and an opening mark of 72 looks workable. A half-brother to the Group 2-placed Thunder Beauty, there is likely more to come from him and he gets the vote ahead of Eminny, who notched a comfortable success over an extended 7f at Beverley earlier this month. Fellow last-time-out winner Charged Up also warrants a market check.

FOREVER A DIAMOND boasts a solid profile and promises to be well suited by the step up in trip, so she's marginally preferred to recent novice winner Eminny. Art Historian is another likely improver in what could prove to be a strong nursery for the grade.

Pretty much all of these have positive profiles so it's only a tentative vote which goes the way of recent Beverley winner EMINNY.

A few of these will need more to feature, so it looks best to side with recent Catterick scorer RAIN CAP. The six-year-old won the corresponding event last year and, having defied higher marks in the past, he appeals as the one to beat under a penalty. Agonyclite, who finished behind him in second that day, is entitled to go close with a 5lb swing at the weights. Somewhere Secret can chase the pair home.

RAIN CAP had a bit in hand when scoring at Catterick last week and is taken to follow up. Agonyclite and Autumn Flight head the list of dangers.

Last year's winner Rain Cap won at Catterick last week but carries a penalty and the runner-up AGONYCLITE can gain his revenge.

EYESHADOW finished a fair fourth in novice company on her most recent outing and the daughter of Expert Eye is fancied to make a winning handicap debut in the hands of Richard Kingscote. She is related to a few smart types, including Group 2-placed Gavota, so further improvement looks likely. Azahara Palace kept on well to score over C&D last time out and is feared most off an opening mark of 68, while Ae Fond Kiss completes the shortlist.

EYESHADOW is every inch the type to take off in handicaps and this well-bred Juddmonte filly is fancied to take all the beating here. Chorus Line was a tidy winner at Leicester on her penultimate start and is better than she was able to show at Haydock last time, so she merits respect, whilst Alyara is also shortlisted after a good effort at Lingfield last time.

Unexposed 3yos Azahara Palace and EYESHADOW appeal most and the latter could have the greater scope for improvement.

Alshadhian finished fourth behind subsequent Derby second and King Edward VII Stakes winner King Of Steel on his racecourse debut last October, and must warrant a market check based on that. However, SPECTACULAR STYLE has filled the runner-up spot on both his career starts and the son of Frankel is fancied to get off the mark at the third time of asking. No Surrender is another to bear in mind.

SPECTACULAR STYLE has shaped well on both starts to date and probably won't need to improve to open his account at the likely expense of Alshadhian, who is open to improvement. Governor or India could feature if blinkers have a positive effect.

Roger Varian's SPECTACULAR STYLE sets a good standard on his runner-up efforts in recent months and can make it third time lucky.

Having defeated Shine On Brendan over course and distance in May, BASHFUL showed the benefit of recent wind surgery when following up at Newcastle last month. Iain Jardine's charge is now 5lb higher back on turf, but that might not be enough to stop him. The aforementioned must be considered following his latest Musselburgh success, while the versatile Detective can mount a serious challenge too.

BASHFUL arrives at the top of his game and makes plenty of appeal in his hat-trick bid. Shine On Brendan is feared most.

Course winners Bashful and SHINE ON BRENDAN arrive in fine form and preference is for Jim Goldie's runner.

LOUIS TREIZE recorded a much-improved second on his return to turf earlier this month and the fact he retains the mark from that outing makes him of significant interest. Although he is rated 2lb above his last winning mark, he is taken to get the better of recent C&D winner Bama Lama, given she has to shoulder a 5lb penalty. On Edge beat the selection last time out but now reopposes on worse terms.

Though LOUIS TREIZE isn't the most reliable, he put in a good shift when narrowly outpointed by On Edge over C&D recently and has a good chance of turning the tables on that rival armed with a 5 lb pull. Bama Lama was a winner on the same card and may emerge as the main danger, ahead of On Edge, but they will all have their work cut out if Eight Mile, who is due to run at Yarmouth on Wednesday, lines up for this.

On Edge can confirm recent C&D placings with Louis Treize but BAMA LAMA is fancied to beat them both.

A weak contest in which a tentative vote goes to BOARHUNT, who sports first-time cheekpieces following a fair third at Wolverhampton earlier this month. He must have a good chance if building on that on his return to classified stakes company. Arlecchino's Gift can give him most to think about when taking into account his success at Windsor on his penultimate outing, while Malham Tarn Cove completes the shortlist.

MALHAM TARN COVE is one of few to arrive in any sort of form and he's the most solid option. Boarhunt can't be ruled out for all that he's yet to prove himself on turf and Dodgy Bob deserves respect having shaped a bit better than the result at Chester last time.

The suggestion is MALHAM TARN COVE, who arrives on the back of some creditable placed efforts in handicaps, including over C&D on soft.

Crack Shot took a sizeable step forward from his first start to score at Nottingham over an extended mile, where he accounted for a subsequent winner back in third, but he may struggle to give his 7lb penalty away to BOTANICAL. The son of Lope De Vega showed plenty of promise on debut at Kempton when just held for second by a neck and he appears open to improvement. Any market support for Big Hamish on debut should be noted.

This can go to BOTANICAL, who was doing his best work at the finish on debut at Kempton last month and will have learnt plenty from that experience. Crack Shot looks the obvious danger on the back of his Nottingham victory, whilst Unlimited can also make his presence felt.

The Roger Varian-trained BOTANICAL kept on well to go close on last month's debut over 7f at Kempton and he can go one better.

Deacs Delight has stepped up his form since running in classified events the last twice, and he was only denied by just under a length last time. However, he now returns to the handicap ranks which could pave the way for GALILEO GLASS. If the four-year-old can settle better than his latest effort when third at Yarmouth, he could be the one to beat. Runner Bean is another to consider.

GALILEO GLASS took a step back in the right direction when third at Yarmouth last week and is on a good mark if building on that. The in-form Deacs Delight is next best ahead of Fact or Fable.

In-form DEACS DELIGHT could well defy his revised mark back at handicap level. Galileo Glass is second choice.

PARADISE ROW broke her maiden in a game manner at Chelmsford last month and has a live chance of following up now she steps into handicap company. Her intended bow in the sphere was rightly called to a halt due to a faller at the start and this progressive three-year-old is fancied to score again. Mogwai is respected but concedes 12lb to the selection, so Measured Moments is suggested as a bigger threat.

Lots with chances. HAKUNA BABE took a step forward on her handicap debut when a very good Sandown third and this daughter of Roaring Lion looks the way to go with more to offer now. Paradise Row is feared most on the back of her Chelmsford success with handicap debutante Hill Filly and in-form Measured Moments two more who can have a say.

Happier has finished in the top two on her last three outings, the latest effort coming at Carlisle, where she was no match for the winner in second but showed plenty of promise on her first handicap start. However, preference is for TRABAJO DETECHO, who ran with huge credit at Doncaster to fill the runner-up spot in this grade and with a repeat of that display, he could be the one to beat. Last-time-out victor Stormy Pearl isn't out of it either.

BRYCE is still a maiden but he is taken to buck that trend here on the back of a near-miss in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Ripon 10 days ago. Trabajo Detecho is pretty consistent on the whole and is likely to give another good account of himself, while Happier and recent course winner Stormy Pearl are others to consider.

The unexposed HAPPIER (nap) bumped into the highly progressive Sophia's Starlight when runner-up at Carlisle and can go one better.

QUEENSLAND BOY did well to finish as close as sixth last time at Leicester, where he took a keen hold before staying on strongly at the line. With improvement to come, he looks the one to side with. Eight Fifteen is a live danger as she has been sent off at big odds for all of her three starts to date and could do better on her handicap bow, while Surrey Charm is another to note.

QUEENSLAND BOY progressed again on handicap bow when a close sixth at Leicester 3 weeks ago, doing very well to get as close as he did from a poor position, and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Jimmy Mark can follow the selection home.

The top two on the card make the most appeal, with QUEENSLAND BOY first choice ahead of Purnika.

With a name like SPECIAL WAN, it might be worth taking a chance on the Pat Foley-trained debutant. A half-sister to Yerwanthere, who managed to win here on debut last summer, the Belardo bay won't have to be a star to claim this weak affair. There was just half-a-length between Danvers Gold and Local Girl when they finished second and third at Roscommon earlier this month, and the 79-rated former should be able to confirm the form now. Finsceal Go Deo is without a win in eight starts and while she should give a good account of herself, she may have to settle for minor honours yet again. Apache Squaw is out of a sister to dual-Group 3 winner Sruthan and it'll be interesting to see how she fares on debut, while fellow debutant Spirit Of Paradise is another that warrants respect.

This can go to DANVERS GOLD, who boasts the best form and stepped up on her reappearance run when second at Roscommon earlier this month. Finsceal Go Deo and Local Girl look the obvious dangers.

A mark of 70 seems to leave her with plenty to find but FINSCEAL GO DEO has shown promise in 2 of her 3 starts this term and can score

BEARWITH wasn't seen to best effect after a slow start when fourth at Beverley last time and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways eased 1 lb here. Pak Army is well worth considering back in this sphere after a winning spell over hurdles, with Owens Lad appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

SPANISH HUSTLE went in over C&D on his penultimate start and continued that form with a very good second by a neck at Musselburgh on his latest outing, so he could be hard to stop in arriving in a similar vein of form. The main danger might be Can Can Girl, who could improve on her first effort for the Tim Easterby yard when third at Beverley and now competes off 1lb lower, while The Navigator is of interest on his return to the Flat.

If back to his best BLAZER TWO could be the answer to this open-looking handicap. He is just 1 lb above the mark off which he was successful at Leicester at the end of May and the booking of Joe Fanning is a plus. Spanish Hustle could be the pick of the Jim Goldie-trained duo and is second choice ahead of Can Can Girl and stablemate Lochnaver.

The well-handicapped CAN CAN GIRL is taken to score on her second start for Tim Easterby, having reappeared with a promising third.

Dual bumper winner THE LAST MARDI looks the safest option despite letting his supporters down when sent off at prohibitive odds last time. The Gordon Elliott-trained six-year-old fell two out at Wexford when faced with a strong challenge. However, on the balance of his previous form, the Sholokhov gelding is the one to beat. Walmix, who won a bumper on that aforementioned card, goes straight over hurdles on just his third career start. Although the five-year-old lacks the experience of a few of these rivals, he looked a smart prospect last time. Patricks Hill may not have stayed 3m on his latest outing but had shaped with promise on a couple of occasions over this trip. Trainer Liam Burke likes to have a winner at this meeting, so his representative has to be given close consideration.

THE LAST MARDI had notably travelled best and was still going well when falling 2 out on his latest start at Wexford 4 weeks ago (looked likely winner) and Gordon Elliott's charge is fancied to make amends here. The returning Black Bamboo and recent bumper winner Walmix are others fancied to be thereabouts.

Though possibly vulnerable at the time of his fall two out at Wexford, THE LAST MARDI, hot favourite then, again has strong credentials

CAPTAIN IVAN is in the form of his life at present and a fourth win in five starts could be in the offing for the nine-year-old as he looks to follow up on a determined victory at Perth last month. Gold Link has had wind surgery since his last run, which was his first over fences, which may yield some improvement, while Lucky Lover Boy is another with the form to get involved.

GOLD LINK looked to have the race sewn up before weakening on chase debut at Cartmel but he perhaps made his effort earlier than ideal there and the bulk of the performance was positive, so he is taken to make his second start over fences a winning one. Captain Ivan had plenty go his way at Perth but is thriving and should give a bold bid for the hat-trick, whilst Irish raider Benefit Run is interesting after a recent good effort over hurdles.

Assuming the latest wind surgery works, GOLD LINK may be able to deny the thriving Captain Ivan the hat-trick.

Carp Kid had ORIENTAL ART (third) behind when scoring at Windsor earlier in the month and he has to be respected on that evidence, but the vote goes to the latter as he gets a 3lb pull at the weights. Also, the son of Archipenko took a nice step forward on softer ground to fill the runner-up spot at Yarmouth last time. Eton Blue has hit the crossbar on his last two starts and has to be respected.

ETON BLUE looks ready to strike having gone agonisingly close behind a subsequent winner at Brighton last time. Carp Kid and Oriental Art are others to consider.

With seven debutants in the line-up and not much form to go on, the market should be informative. A fine third on debut over the course and distance last month, SLI NA GHEALAI is one of the safer options. She stayed on nicely in the closing stages on that occasion and finished a place ahead of Mary The Priest, who had won on her previous start at Listowel. Courageous Strike also ran a fine race on debut, finishing second at Roscommon in May, with subsequent winner Lia Fail back in fifth. The chestnut colt is a half-brother to Rich, who managed to win on debut, finishing down the field on her most recent start in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot. With Ger Lyons saddling two of the 18 set to take part, it's interesting that Colin Keane is aboard the Noel Meade-trained Caught U Looking. Sixth behind the impressive Ylang Ylang on debut at the Curragh, she should be able to build on that performance. Stromberg, Mo Ghille Mar and Edvard Grieg are the most interesting of the newcomers.

Jessica Harrington has saddled the winner of this maiden twice in recent years and MO GHILLE MAR is an appealing newcomer for the yard. She holds an entry in the Moyglare Stakes and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in her favour. Fellow newcomer Stromberg, who also represents a yard with a good recent record in this race and holds a Group-race entry, is also of strong interest. Sli Na Ghealai and Courageous Strike look the pick of those with experience.

Some of the newcomers have Group-race entries, but SLI NA GHEALAI holds a Group 1 entry herself and can build upon her promising C&D bow

HARRY THE HAGGLER has fewer questions to answer than some of his rivals and, with Oisin Murphy booked for the ride, a big run can be expected. The gelding was a well-supported favourite when he was third over 1m here last month and, given the market confidence that day, he is likely to be popular again dropping back to this trip. Irish Dessert, Senor Pockets and Scramble are others to consider.

A case can be made for lots of these but TWILIGHT JAZZ arrives in very good nick and is taken to go one better than her recent Beverley second. Milvus should also have a say, especially if settling better, while Harry The Haggler is weighted to go well too and must enter calculations.

In a trappy finale a chance is taken on IRISH DESSERT who made some good late headway when fourth over 6f last time so 7f could suit.

Welsh Champion Hurdle winner EFFERNOCK FIZZ can take this for Kerry born trainer Cian Collins. The eight-year-old has been a real stable stalwart for the Tralee man, winning three races, including at this track last August. Having been set a stiff task when down the field in the Grimes Hurdle recently, the mare is much better suited by these race conditions. The small field should also play to her strengths as it will suit a front runner. Troubled Times, a mare that won on her racecourse debut here last May, had looked a progressive hurdler prior to disappointing at Ballinrobe last time. She was subsequently found to have a genuine excuse for that below par run. Hollymount finished runner-up in this race last year so has most likely had a repeat bid as a long-term target.

EFFERNOCK FIZZ needs to shrug off a lesser effort in Grade 3 company but these are very favourable terms and she's given the vote in the hope she can bounce back. Troubled Times, who shaped better than the bare result at Ballinrobe in May remains one to be positive about and is feared, along with the returning Hollymount.

There is a question mark against the generally admirable EFFERNOCK FIZZ on recent form but she will be hard to beat if near her best

DICEY RIELLY has won 3 times since the start of April and Peter Bowen's mare is fancied to continue her rich vein of form making the switch back to chasing after scoring twice over hurdles last month. Princess Midnight is an admirably consistent sort for this level and should be in the mix once again, with Annie Nail preferred of the remainder.

Very few can be safely ruled out in this competitive affair. Fitted with a first-time tongue-strap, WHO NOT WHAT went down by just a neck here early last month. Headed in the closing stages on that occasion, he should be suited by this slight drop in trip to seven-furlongs. The aforementioned tongue-strap remains in place, with cheekpieces added now. A five-time winner in the UK, Invincible Larne ran a cracker on his debut for John McConnell over the course and distance, finishing second after attempting to make all. Cillian McConnell retains the ride and again claims a valuable 7lb. Eastern Wind also attempted to do it from the front here last week, ultimately going down narrowly by a short head and a head. Already a course winner, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to take this. Successful in a claimer at Bellewstown recently, Sunday Sovereign is sure to have plenty of supporters, while other leading hopes are Super Cub and Dabana.

WHO NOT WHAT upped his game when second here last month and remains low mileage. He can open his account. Super Cub and Invincible Larne are feared most.

Plenty of these went forward last time; one who will be played later is PUNK POET who looked on the way back to form at Bellewstown

Rivas Rob Roy is another that warrants serious consideration, having brought up his hat-trick last time out, but preference is for NEW HEIGHTS. Jonathan Portman's mare was successful in this contest 12 months ago from a 3lb lower mark, but she remains fairly treated and the application of first-time cheekpieces could bring about a change in fortunes.

Back on turf, GOLDSMITH shaped well having been left with plenty to do at Sandown 13 days ago and he's on a workable mark based on his all-weather form. The 4-y-o can build on his latest effort to record a first success on this surface, though Darvel arrives on the back of a win last time and is feared most. Kimifive completes the shortlist.

Recent Brighton winners Darvel and Rivas Rob Roy are repsected. NEW HEIGHTS, who won this race last year, gets the vote.

PENNY JAR should be spot on for this assignment following a recent spin on the flat at Tramore. The three-time winner over hurdles made significant late ground inside the last furlong, having been denied a clear run earlier in the straight. Paddy Downey's seven-year-old gelding was only just touched off on his most recent start over flights and can race off a pound lower mark here once taking the jockey's claim into account. Arabian King, who won his maiden hurdle over course and distance, made a pleasing stable debut for Cian Collins at Tipperary recently. The seven-year-old gelding should strip fitter here and will most likely have been targeted at the meeting. Away To Milan completes the shortlist following his Wexford victory at the end of May.

The most intriguing option could be PENNY JAR. An improved model when winning 3 of his 4 starts over hurdles last season, there's every chance he will be all the better for a recent return spin on the Flat at Tramore and he can confirm himself still on a good mark back over timber. Away To Milan, a good winner at Wexford in May, and Rock on Pedro head up the dangers, with Navigator Jack also worth a second look.

With the benefit of a recent run on the Flat PENNY JAR (nap) looks to maintain the trend of sustained progress shown last season

A winner of his last three starts, including over C&D last time out, ROCK THE HOUSE has been quite the revelation since joining the Katy Price stable and he should be able to continue his rapid progression.

A competitive handicap for the grade and the upwardly-mobile CHARLIE MY BOY, who got the better of a duel with a fellow improver at Aintree last month, is taken to complete the hat-trick. Pencreek resumes in this sphere on an attractive mark and is feared most with his yard among the winners. Cases can also be made for Galata Bridge, Lock's Corner and the 4-y-o Allihies, but Rock The House is likely to come unstuck in his bid for the four-timer off this revised mark.

The hat-trick seeking CHARLIE MY BOY can defy both a new high mark and his tendency to hang late. Galata Bridge appeals next most.

The regally bred Ballydoyle pair look the two to focus on here, with preference for OPERA SINGER, who is the choice of Ryan Moore. The Justify bay is a half-sister to Group 1 winners Brave Anna and Hit It A Bomb, and while she didn't show a whole lot on debut, after being bumped early, she can be expected to come on plenty for that experience. Newcomer Andromeda is the other Aidan O'Brien representative, with this one a sister to 2020 Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Peaceful. Joseph O'Brien introduces Kalispera and like the aforementioned pair, she holds some big race entries. Enthralling was behind the selection on debut and is best watched here, while Improvista will need to improve from finishing fifth in a barrier trial if she is to feature.

Frankel filly IMPROVISTA ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and Group-race entries suggest that she is held in high regard. Confidence behind her in the betting would look significant and she gets the nod ahead of Opera Singer, who should be more street-wise following her debut spin at the Curragh and is Ryan Moore's pick ahead of stablemate Andromeda. Kalispera is another to note.

Likely a hot contest but OPERA SINGER was getting the hang of things late on at the Curragh and will be more streetwise now under Moore

INNER CITY failed to build on a promising debut effort when finishing third at Sandown last month, but the son of Dubawi, a 1,100,000gns purchase, remains open to improvement and is fancied to put his superior experience to good use. Mission To Moon makes plenty of appeal following his recent Kempton second, while others to note include Drink Dry and Aragon Castle.

Having shown plenty of ability on debut, INNER CITY was still green when only third at Sandown next time but the son of Dubawi remains capable of better and can open his account at the third attempt. Mission To Moon improved from his first start when runner-up at Kempton 2 weeks ago and is feared most, ahead of Rey de La Batalla.

Mission To Moon is still capable of better but INNER CITY may be able to strike at the third attempt.

Although now at the veteran stage, NATURALLY BLOND could be hard to beat in his bid to win at this meeting for the third successive year. The Patrick Cronin-trained 13-year-old easily won on his seasonal debut here two years ago, before producing an even more impressive display 12 months later. Age is certainly not on his side but the Bach gelding has been relatively lightly raced in recent campaigns. Ceanndana won with plenty in hand at Downpatrick last week and while this is a completely different track, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding did finish third here on his only previous visit. Dragon's Pass has been running well in similar races of late and was unlucky not to get closer at Limerick last time. The seven-year-old mare has her ideal conditions so should be capable of a big run.

CEANNDANA was value for extra over the winning distance when a smooth winner at Downpatrick last week and a penalty seems most unlikely to prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Dragon's Pass and Hard Target are reliable operators at this level and are a couple of potential dangers.

If handling the likely softer ground recent Downpatrick winner CEANNDANA can go in again

GAMBIE TIEP arrives having notched up a quick-fire double, with the latest of those successes coming at Perth four days ago. Turned out quickly before a subsequent 8lb rise kicks in, Ben Pauling's charge is difficult to oppose. Turpin Gold looks set to play a leading role having struck the woodwork at Uttoxeter last time, while others to note include Rock On Harry and the class-dropping Glimpse Of Gold.

While it's likely that GAMBIE TIEP's best days ahead will be over fences, he is nevertheless hard to oppose here on the back of his recent dominant, all-the-way success in this sphere at Perth. The 7-y-o will be competing off an 8 lb higher mark in the future, so it's no surprise that connections are looking to strike while the iron is hot. Turpin Gold and Rock On Harry can fill the places.

A third start in nine days for GAMBIE TIEP, who should complete the hat-trick if coping with the quick turnaround.

A case can be made for all eight runners. CORDOUAN was successful on his debut for Adrian McGuinness at Laytown in September and while he hasn't managed to win since, he has been pretty consistent. A close-up fourth in the valuable Nasrullah Handicap over the course and distance last Thursday, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a few places better now. While his form is quite erratic, Chavajod is given second preference. Successful here in May, he disappointed on his next start before filling the runner-up spot on his most recent outing at Roscommon. If putting his best foot forward, he is capable of making an impact. Noel Meade has his horses in flying form at present and so Tea Olive warrants respect, while course and distance winner No Niki No and Ladies Derby runner-up Higher Kingdom are other leading hopes.

HIGHER KINGDOM returned to form when second in a competitive event at the Curragh last time and a performance of similar merit could be enough to go one better. Chavajod is a big danger and No Niki No is one of several others for whom a case can be made.

Topweight Longbourn and Cordouan have good claims but maybe CHAVAJOD, running sweetly for his new yard this term, can score

With plenty of these likely to vie for a prominent position, things could set up nicely for recent Newbury scorer SECRET STRENGTH. He kept on well from off the pace to lead close home that day, so a ferocious gallop at this trip might tap into his stamina reserves. Only 3lb higher for that victory, he can repel the challenge of Metahorse, who hit the frame over an extended seven furlongs at Chester last time out. G'daay (second) and Little Boy Blue (third) are closely matched on their recent C&D meeting and both are of interest once more.

Having dropped in the weights, ALAZWAR shaped best when fourth at Musselburgh last time and he's worth a chance to confirm that encouragement. In-form G'Daay is an obvious threat and there's a case to be made for Ernie's Valentine.

Run of the race will be important but METAHORSE gets the vote ahead of Ernie's Valentine and Secret Strength.

RICKY LANGFORD exploited a lower hurdles mark at Wexford recently, having previously won off 12lb higher in a handicap chase at this venue. Philip Rothwell has elected to stay over flights with the nine-year-old and that decision looks like being rewarded. Even after being reassessed, the gelding is still on a more favourable rating in this discipline. Presenting Lad was a very easy winner at Roscommon earlier this month but the handicapper has had his say subsequently. However, given the ease with which he travelled throughout that contest, it is difficult to imagine the Mark McNiff-trained seven-year-old not playing a significant role. Charcor has run well on a couple of previous visits to this track and while those were on the flat, he is undoubtedly well handicapped over hurdles.

SOLITARY MAN took a small step forward when runner-up to a Willie Mullins favourite at Ballinrobe in May and with further progress on the cards, he's fancied to open his account at the expense of Presenting Lad, who proved better than ever when scoring at Roscommon recently. Ricky Langford and Bigz Belief can do battle for minor honours.

Recent Roscommon winner PRESENTING LAD gets the vote to see off recent Wexford scorer Ricky Langford

ZUCAYAN was able to build on his Bangor effort having returned from a break in April when winning at Ludlow the following month and the lightly-raced six-year-old is fancied to continue his progression from a 4lb higher mark. Graffiti has been in good form on the Flat recently and must be of interest back in this sphere, while Zamond is just 1lb above his last winning mark and it would come as no surprise were he to feature.

ZUCAYAN improved further to score at Ludlow a couple of months ago and he boasts a positive profile over hurdles, so he's an obvious choice in a weak race. Zamond is the obvious danger down in grade.

Despite a modest latest effort, preference is for ZAMOND, who is on a good mark.

BOLD DISCOVERY might be able to upstage likely favourite Trustyourinstinct. The latter is two from two but faces his stiffest task to date and may come up short against the classy, battle-hardened selection. After disappointing in two May starts, the Jessica Harrington-trained bay was subsequently treated for allergies and showed his true colours when claiming a Listed contest on his most recent outing. He should be well able for this step-up in trip to nine-furlongs and it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end. A half-brother to the brilliant 2021 dual Oaks winner Snowfall, Alfred Munnings was a well-beaten third on his return to action at the Curragh. He is entitled to come on plenty for that effort though, as it was his first in over a year. Self Belief has been ultimately disappointing so far this season and will need to bounce back to his best if he is to feature. Empress Of Beauty went down by just a head in Listed company at Naas last month and should give a good account of herself.

Joseph O'Brien's Churchill colt TRUSTYOURINSTINCT looks a good prospect and is fancied to take this step up in class in his stride and make it 3-3. Curragh scorer Bold Discovery should ensure he doesn't have things all his own way though, with improving duo Empress of Beauty and Alfred Munnings not discounted either.

Returning to the scene of his impressive maiden score last year, ALFRED MUNNINGS can take a big step forward from his return start.

A taking winner at Leicester last time out, GOLDEN MAVERICK has been in fine form of late and a fourth triumph in six starts could be in the offing for the son of Zarak. Despite conceding weight all round, Grey Fox can't be discounted now stepped back up in trip and may give the selection plenty to think about, while C&D winner Ectocross also has the form to get involved in proceedings.

ECTOCROSS ran out a decisive winner over C&D last week so is taken to defy a penalty. Golden Maverick improved again when notching a third handicap win at Leicester and looks the obvious danger.

Ectocross won well here last week but GOLDEN MAVERICK is progressing nicely and may have his measure tonight.

ALLY KAZOO, a half-brother to three black-type winners, is worth a close market check for a stable that have traditionally done well with their bumper horses at this meeting. Derek O'Connor is a significant booking for the Sam Curling-trained gelding. Luckinthecity is another debutant that has to be given close consideration. From a family that has produced plenty of stayers on the flat, the Willie Mullins-trained newcomer is one of the more likely winners. Master Otis sets a fair standard, having finished runner-up on two of his five starts. The Tom Mullins-trained gelding has crucial racecourse experience which could count for plenty if he gets into a battle with one of the newcomers.

Those with racecourse experience don't set a tall standard so LUCKINTHECITY gets the nod to make a winning start for champion trainer Willie Mullins at the expense of Master Otis, who has acquitted himself well in all 5 starts in bumpers so far but was a bit below his best at Tipperary 2 weeks ago. Ally Kazoo and Plaisir des Flos can fight out third spot.

Willie Mullins introduces LUCKINTHECITY and he could well be good enough to score

Second on both starts over timber, WOODIE FLASH appeals as the type to go one better now raised in trip. Olly Murphy's gelding shades the vote over Carpe Diem, who looks capable of building on last month's debut third here in a bumper. Teeceethree is another potential improver over this longer distance, while dual point-winner Craven Bay cannot be left out of calculations either.

Preference is for CLAPTON HILL, who got back on track at Newton Abbot earlier this month and hails from a yard in fine form. Seinesational and Teeceethree look the likeliest dangers.

In the hope that stepping up in trip will bring out improvement, TEECEETHREE is selected.

The first foal out of brilliant four-time Group 1 winner Alpha Centauri, SATURN is the standout name. While friendless on debut at the Curragh on Derby weekend, the grey colt went down fighting and was beaten by just half-a-length. He is sure to come on plenty for that experience and looks the one to beat. Kadeen has two solid efforts to his name but was two-and-three-quarters of a length behind the selection at the Curragh and it's difficult to see him reversing the form now. Tommy Thug made some late gains when eighth behind the aforementioned pair on debut and it'll be interesting to see if he can build on that effort. The 80 rated Teorie is sure to have plenty of supporters, while others that warrant respect are Velvet And Vine and newcomer Rioja Alta.

SATURN showed plenty when second at the Curragh on debut and, with improvement on the cards, he's fancied to open his account at the second attempt. Kadeen looks the obvious danger but a quick return to form from Teorie would give him a solid chance.

Having run green when narrowly beaten at the Curragh on debut, the beautifully-bred SATURN should be able to go one better.

Conditions are in his favour once more and he can master the likes of Inverinate, who has not been outside the first two in his last three starts, and Fayasel, who sports cheekpieces for the first time.

Little between the principals on form but H KEY LAILS arrives on the up so he edges the vote from in-form duo Inverinate and Fayasel, who can chase home Michael Attwater's new recruit in that order. Blue Curacao completes the shortlist.

The solid options look to be INVERINATE and H Key Lails who look set for big runs if their last three starts are anything to go by.

ROYAL MOON has shaped with promise on all five starts under rules, including when partnered by today's rider on his last two runs. The Edward O'Grady-trained five-year-old is more exposed than a few of these rivals but sets a fair standard that may only be bettered by an above average newcomer. Longview Lady is the most obvious contender from the latter category, given that she represents the Willie Mullins-Jody Townend partnership. Being the first foal of an unraced dam, she is difficult to weigh up but her trainer has an embarrassment of riches in this division. Silver Lark was only just beaten on her debut at Thurles in February but has failed to back that up in two subsequent runs. Perhaps, a return to better ground will see the Gordon Elliott-trained mare recapture her earlier form.

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal with SILVER LARK getting the vote to get back on track after a below-par effort at Clonmel 10 weeks ago. Willie Mullins is represented by Longview Lady and she ticks plenty of boxes, with Royal Moon and Minella Diamond another couple worth keeping an eye on.

Hardly original but the nicely-bred LONGVIEW LADY looks a another likely first-time out bumper winner for the Willie Mullins yard

Only Fools has hit the crossbar the last twice in this grade and is only asked to compete off a 3lb higher mark compared to the start of those efforts, but she is going into the unknown with this step up in distance, so for that reason, GENEVER DRAGON gets the vote. The son of Dragon Pulse filled the runner-up spot at Sedgefield over this trip last September and he made his return with a solid third at Stratford, so he could attempt to make all off the same rating. Nowyouvebinandunit is another to watch out for.

RANCO took a step forward from his reappearance effort when fourth at Newton Abbot 23 days ago and having eased further in the weights, he could be worth chancing to come out on top with the cheekpieces refitted now. Genever Dragon returned with a good second at Stratford recently and is feared, along with 4-y-o Only Fools. Jacks Orchard is another to note.

Although there are doubts, ACHNAMARA starts life in handicap hurdles on a very tempting mark.

A competitive contest to round off proceedings, where it might be worth taking a chance on BAILE LOCHA RIACH. A 200,000 pound yearling purchase, he has been disappointing, however his most recent effort at Down Royal was his best to date, and he might be able to build on that performance. Despite still showing signs of greenness, he kept on in the closing stages to finish fifth and fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time now, it should help his cause. Named after the hometown of his owner Michael Burke, a trip to Galway could also be on the cards for this Siyouni chestnut. Pinot Gris made the breakthrough at Down Royal, with the selection back in fifth, and it'll come as little surprise if he manages to follow-up. It'll be interesting to see how Loughisle Lady fares, making her debut for Ciaran Murphy while also returning from a lengthy absence. Union Flag, Darraby, Grey Fable and On The Money are others to keep on side.

PINOT GRIS got off the mark with something to spare at Down Royal and can make light of a 5 lb rise in the weights with this return to 1m4f another plus for Gavin Cromwell's son of Mastercraftsman. Roscommon second Grey Fable could emerge as the chief threat with Pale Moonlight and Dalvey two more who need factoring into an open handicap.

Second to a most progressive sort at Roscommon last time, GREY FABLE can go one better and confirm that form with Pinot Gris.

No Way Pedro arrives chasing a hat-trick but Brian Barr's 9-y-o may have to settle for silver on this occasion, with Pollypockett and Perryville another couple worth considering.

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.
