13:35 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Tis Marvellous has won two of the last four renewals of this contest and would be foolish to dismiss following a disappointing run in the Wokingham at the Royal meeting in June. He has dropped to his last winning mark, which coincidentally came in the 2021 running of this, but BOND CHAIRMAN can get the better of the nine-year-old. He finished two and three quarter lengths behind Intrinsic Bond over C&D last month but, now 8lb better off with that rival, he is taken to reverse the form. Rogue Lightning is another to consider following a comfortable success at Doncaster.

After 7 weeks off (had been gelded), ROGUE LIGHTNING got back on track in a first-time visor when doubling his career tally at Doncaster last month and he could still have more to offer. The 3-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of Intrinsic Bond, who produced a career best when winning at this C&D on his stable debut 2 weeks ago, while Existent also merits consideration.

The way ROGUE LIGHTNING dashed past his rivals on his first 5f attempt suggests he can hold his own in this better race.

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

In a race full of unknown quantities, it may be best to side with Aidan O'Brien's DIEGO VELAZQUEZ to make a winning debut. An expensive son of top sire Frankel, he is bred to be above-average and could go on to better things. Stable companion Old Faithful is another to take seriously with his sire Siyouni doing remarkably well of late, though he may have to give way to Masoun, who is bred to handle conditions and could be the surprise package. Surfers Paradise is another newcomer to watch, while Ringside Timing may be the best of those with experience.

Newcomers make the most appeal here before market clues, with 2.4 million yearling DIEGO VELAZQUEZ hard to get away from starting out for Ballydoyle. Stablemate Old Faithful and Surfers Paradise also boast good claims on paper, while Old Faithful is easily the pick of the five with experience.

It would be disappointing if one of the newcomers could not win. The most likely is the 2.4m guineas purchase DIEGO VELAZQUEZ

13:55 Newmarket Maiden (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A tentative selection can go to MONTEROSA, who seeks to enhance her yard's record in this contest. The daughter of Lope De Vega is out of the Oaks-heroine Anapurna and, while further will suit in time, this could be an ideal starting point. Charlie Appleby often excels with his juveniles here, so both Beautiful Love and Silver Feather must be respected. Raheena, See The Fire and Surveyor also warrant a market check.

A field of juvenile fillies, all debutantes, and a number that catch the eye on paper. The market should provide extra clues, but Godolphin's BEAUTIFUL LOVE, a daughter of Siyouni, certainly ticks a lot of boxes and gets the nod. Monterosa, who's out of an Oaks winner, and Heartfullofstars are highly respected, too.

Siding with a Charlie Appleby 2yo here often reaps rewards and BEAUTIFUL LOVE looks the pick of his pair on jockey arrangements.

This looks like an ideal opportunity for VIXEY to finally get off the mark, having been runner-up on her last two starts in handicap company. That experience should stand in her good stead and the three-year-old may have too much for Southwell second Evening Story and Sidney's Son, who is a key player based on the pick of his form. Newcomer Teddy's Dawn and Mount King can also have a say in proceedings.

An ordinary-looking maiden with VIXEY fancied to get a change of luck and gain a first success after another good run in a Catterick handicap. The well-bred Teddy's Dawn starts out in a very winnable race and must be respected. Evening Story and Mount King are also considered.

Second in two 7f handicaps this season, VIXEY has been astutely placed in this maiden and has a good chance to open her account.

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

A fairly open contest in which marginal preference is for ZOFFEE. His latest run on the all-weather can be excused, as he finished three and a quarter lengths behind Ahorsewithnoname in the Ascot Stakes two starts ago. He is rated 1lb higher than when only beaten a neck in the Chester Cup and will take some stopping if anywhere near that form. Prydwen has to shoulder top-weight but must still be noted following a creditable third at Newmarket last month, while Irish raider The Very Man completes the shortlist.

ZOFFEE had an excuse for his run in the Northumberland Plate and can bounce back to form with a bang under Frankie Dettori. The Very Man, the mount of Hollie Doyle, ran a stormer at Galway recently and is second choice ahead of top-weight Prdywen.

Consistently sound efforts in Ireland from THE VERY MAN in recent starts put him top of the list. Most of the rest look far more dodgy.

A case can be made for most of these but none more so than A LILAC ROLLA, who looked to have a very bright future when winning on debut at Cork recently. The daughter of Harry Angel is entitled to improve for that experience and she could provide her yard with back-to-back wins in this contest. Opera Singer may prove to be the main threat following her Leopardstown win, although Serious Notions and Profit Refused cannot be discounted. Grateful and Red Viburnum are arguably the most eye-catching of the newcomers.

A LILAC ROLLA was never stronger than at the finish when making a successful debut at Cork (6f) 2 weeks ago and, with this longer trip expected to suit, she's fancied to make a bold bid to make it 2-2- for the stable that landed this race 12 months ago. Serious Notions and Opera Singer are others to consider, with newcomers Red Viburnum and Grateful others worthy of market attention for clues.

One that created a lovely impression on debut at Cork was A LILAC ROLLA who looks a very nice prospect and is likely to improve

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

Plenty of connections will be arriving here hopeful of their runners claiming this fiendishly difficult race with the tentative selection being HAFEET ALAIN. Ed Walker's charge has been running consistently well of late, having been narrowly denied at Newmarket last time, and he can defy a 2lb rise in the ratings. Poet Master is seeking a hat-trick and this opening mark of 92 could prove lenient, while the impressive Newmarket scorer Isle Of Jura deserves a closer look, despite being slapped with a 14lb rise for that success.

ISLE OF JURA had so much in hand at Newmarket last time that even a 14 lb rise may not prevent him completing a hat-trick with further improvement very much on the cards. Hafeet Alain has struck up a good partnership with Connor Planas in recent months and is second choice ahead of the very promising Poet Master.

The unbeaten POET MASTER impressed here last time and could be superior to his handicap debut mark. Isle Of Jura is feared most.

PHOENIX DUCHESS wasn't able to lay a glove on Carolina Reaper (due to run in the Sweet Solera at 3.40) when third over C&D three weeks ago, but she did finish close to the second that day, who has since bolted up at Lingfield. This mark doesn't look beyond her with that in mind and she gets the nod. Miss Roberts merits respect eased in grade, while others to note include Sleven and Lady Wulfrun.

PHOENIX DUCHESS ran on well when third in a C&D maiden 3 weeks ago and there should be more to come from her again now handicapping. She gets the vote over Sleven, Lady Wulfrun and Biloxi Boy in a useful-looking nursery.

Most of these can be given a squeak but the suggestion is PHOENIX DUCHESS who made pleasing late headway in a maiden here recently.

STAR PLAYER hasn't quite clicked since joining new connections, but he was unlucky in the run when challenging a furlong from home at Chester last month and better can be expected now. The son of Zoffany remains on a favourable mark and he is narrowly preferred to recent Leicester winner Young Fire, who may need softer conditions to be seen at his best. Give It Some Teddy and Painters Palette are leading contenders too.

STAR PLAYER would almost certainly have finished in the frame granted a clear run at Chester last time and can surely win again soon. He gets the vote over Give It Some Teddy, who seems sure to go well in this race again, and Painters Palette.

He didn't fire at Ascot in July but PAINTERS PALETTE was placed off today's mark in the always-competitive Carlisle Bell two runs ago.

14:45 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

William Haggas won last year's renewal with PRIDE OF PRIORY and the gelded son of Pivotal is expected to be thereabouts once more. He has dropped to his last winning mark, which came in this 12 months ago, and he looks the one to beat following a fair third at Ripon last month. Scampi could benefit from a stiffer stamina test having finished a little over five lengths back in sixth at York over an extended 1m2f. He is feared most ahead of La Yakel.

It's likely we haven't seen the best of LA YAKEL, who is still low mileage and made a very pleasing return here last month. He is fancied to score. Andaleep and Scampi have acquitted themselves really well this term and are also expected to make their presence felt.

Lightly raced LA YAKEL so nearly made a winning reappearance when bidding to make it two wins from as many starts at Ascot.

14:50 Curragh Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Mr Saturday has shown plenty of ability on both starts so far, including behind Unquestionable here last time and the winner has boosted the form by going very close in the Group 2 Railway Stakes since. However, the Ger Lyons-trained gelding may have to play second fiddle to an Aidan O'Brien inmate again, this time to CHERRY BLOSSOM. The 360,000-euro filly went into notebooks aplenty when a close-up fourth in a 5f Listed contest at Naas on debut and she can make the most of the weight she gets from the boys. Chandigah would be a big player if recapturing the form of his one-length third over this C&D at the end of June.

CHERRY BLOSSOM is clearly held in high regard having been sent off favourite when fourth in a listed event at Naas on debut last month and looks the one to beat down in class. Chicago Fireball was flying too high in a Group 3 at Leopardstown but he's more than capable of winning one of these, while Mr Saturday is another to consider having shown plenty when runner-up in maidens at Naas and this C&D.

Little went right for CHERRY BLOSSOM on debut in a Naas Listed last month and she has more scope for improvement

15:00 Haydock Group 3 (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

AL AASY is the highest rated of these and he looks the one to beat after bouncing back to form last time. William Haggas' charge won comfortably over 1m2f at Newbury on that occasion and he can build on that success if turning up at his best for an in-form trainer. The Godolphin runner King Of Conquest looks the biggest danger after running on well in the Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot last time and this extra yardage appears likely to suit, while Savvy Victory should also be thereabouts.

AL AASY isn't the most straightforward but he showed his class when beating Phantom Flight by 1½ lengths in a listed race at Newbury 3 weeks ago and this low-mileage 6-y-o is more than capable of following up. King of Conquest's winning run came to an end in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot, though he wasn't seen to best effect that day so rates the main threat ahead of 3-y-o filly Midnight Mile.

Al Aasy looked good again last time but slight preference is for the 3yo filly MIDNIGHT MILE who's the one with potential.

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

TAJANIS was no match for the progressive Sweet William at Doncaster on his latest outing, but the unexposed son of Australia might be on a workable mark on that evidence. He is fancied to shed the maiden tag here at the main expense of Edge Of Darkness, who arrives having notched up a brace of victories at Thirsk. Ready To Shine is another to consider.

TAJANIS was no match for Sweet William at Doncaster on his most recent outing, but there's no shame in that and he strikes as the type to eke out a bit more improvement now switching to handicap company, so gets the nod to come out on top. Last week's Lingfield-scorer Major Major is up in grade but could well progress further, with Dashing Panther completing the shortlist.

While flattered to get within 5l of last week's Goodwood winner Sweet William, TAJANIS has to be of strong interest at this level.

This can go the way of VACCINE, who got up late on to score at Pontefract last month, and a mere 2lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him going in again. A relatively consistent sort this season and narrowly denied at Leicester most recently, Shaladar can give him the most to think about. Thirsk scorer Vondelpark is another to watch out for.

SHALADAR was nailed in the shadow of the post at Leicester recently and a reproduction of that effort would probably suffice. That said, Vondelpark improved on his first start since being gelded when landing a selling handicap at Thirsk and he has to be respected. Crown Princess is another to consider back down in trip here, while a back-to-form Award Dancer would also be a threat.

Not discredited on soft ground last month, COPPER AND FIVE is only 1lb higher than when beating a dual subsequent winner in May.

There was just a few lengths separating Perotto (seventh), The Wizard Of Eye (sixth) and ESCOBAR (13th) when the trio met in the Golden Mile at Goodwood last Friday, and the latter shades preference. A subsequent ease in the handicap leaves David O'Meara's charge on a 5lb lower mark than when winning over 7f here last October, and the likelihood of a strong gallop ought to further aid his chances. Empirestateofmind is also noted.

The vote goes to RAINBOW FIRE, who landed a useful Haydock handicap during the spring and while he has failed to reproduce that level of form in two subsequent starts, the 5-y-o is interesting now moving back up to a mile. Positive Impact will be a big threat if on-song and he is feared most ahead of Empirestateofmind and Perotto. Consideration should also be given to Escobar, who is now 5 lb lower than for his success in a major handicap here in 2022.

There's a little more for him to prove if the ground is softer than good but RAINBOW FIRE going back up to 1m may well be the way to go.

COMMANCHE FALLS is having a very good season and he arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins over C&D and Newbury respectively. Michael Dods' charge showed a very willing attitude to get up on the line last time and this field doesn't appear likely to halt his progression. Go Athletico is feared most after bumping into Art Power over 5f at this venue on his previous outing and this extra yardage could unlock some more improvement, while Shartash and Thunderbear should also be taken seriously.

COMMANCHE FALLS is having another terrific season, making the breakthrough at pattern level in the Hackwood at Newbury last month, and is taken to defy a penalty and complete the hat-trick. Go Athletico and Moss Tucker were both placed in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes here 3 weeks ago and rate the main threats back down in grade.

Commanche Falls may not be able to confirm recent Newbury form with SHARTASH over this stiffer track

KHINJANI was a clear second on her latest outing over 1m2f at Newbury and this looks like a good opportunity of going one better. The winner of that race has since come out and franked the form after winning at Sandown, so Ed Walker's charge appears primed to defy this 3lb rise in the ratings. Ala Kaifi is likely to give the selection the most to think about after being touched off over 1m2f at Newmarket last time and a repeat of that effort would see him go close, while Arkenstaar can also hit the frame.

KHINJANI bumped into a progressive one at Newbury last time and she is taken to deservedly open her account. She may have most to fear from Ala Kaifi, who went down fighting on his handicap bow at Newmarket and perhaps the addition of blinkers will help eke out a little more. So Farhh So Good has a bit to find with the selection on Newbury form and will probably have to settle for minor honours once again.

With the form of his handicap debut near-miss at Newmarket reading well, ALA KAIFI earns the vote in first-time blinkers.

FALLEN ANGEL showed a good attitude when second over 7f at Sandown last time in Listed company and she appears primed to offer another bold bid here. This better ground is likely to suit Karl Burke's runner and she can build on that effort. Soprano was just a length behind the selection on that occasion and another good battle can be expected, while last-time-out winners Carolina Reaper and Wild Goddess can also compete in this hotter contest.

FALLEN ANGEL is taken to confirm last month's Sandown superiority over Soprano and provide in-form Karl Burke with another winner. Best of the remainder could be Godolphin's Wild Goddess who ran out an easy winner of a C&D novice 3 weeks ago and looks capable of making her mark in a higher grade.

A smart renewal. CAROLINA REAPER (nap) has already performed to a smart level and appeals as a filly with a lot more to offer.

It is entirely feasible that FAST AND LOOSE went off too quickly when he tried to make all of the running at Ayr last time and, with ground conditions unlikely to inconvenience him, he looks worth another chance. The gelding's solid effort when second in last season's Bronze Cup at the same venue reads well in the context of this race and a repeat would make him hard to beat. Aplomb also appeals based on his peak efforts, while Glorious Angel and Ventura Express are noted too.

Though BELL SHOT didn't show much in a couple of runs in Bahrain in January, he makes his debut for the Robert Cowell yard on an attractive mark and will have every chance if reproducing something akin to his peak 2022 form. Tinto is another who figures on a workable mark and he rates the main danger ahead of Roundhay Park and Ventura Express.

Up-and-coming 3yo ROCK OF ENGLAND (nap) won well in first-time blinkers in June and has bumped into improvers when second twice since.

An opening mark of 87 looks more than fair for RAJASTHAN based on what he achieved in his three qualifying runs, perhaps most notably when chasing home the now 109-rated Cicero's Gift at Newbury last October. The son of Dubawi is fancied to make a successful handicap bow. With stamina assured at this trip, Golden Move looks set to mount another stern challenge having struck at Doncaster three weeks ago. Intinso and Like A Tiger can battle it out for the minor honours.

GOLDEN MOVE relished the step up to this distance when opening his account on handicap debut at Doncaster last time and a well-run race should bring further improvement out of him, so he gets the narrow vote in what looks a competitive affair. Satin also arrives on the up and is feared most, while Rajasthan appeals as the type to benefit from a step up to this distance, so he also makes the shortlist.

Richard Fahey and Oliver Peslier combined to win this race at the 2014 Shergar Cup and may be able to repeat the feat with GOLDEN MOVE.

A competitive heat in which marginal preference is for KINGS TIME. Jessica Harrington's three-year-old improved to make a winning handicap debut at Leopardstown last month and he does not look overburdened by a 6lb rise in the ratings, with further improvement on the cards. Carracci is similarly unexposed and appears likely to play a part in the finish having been narrowly denied on his latest outing, while others to note include Verhoyen, Giuseppe Cassioli and Pierre Lapin.

CARRACCI ran right up to his best when finding only one too good for the second start in a row at Leopardstown (9f) 16 days ago and with this drop back in trip holding no fears, he earns the vote to come out on top again partnered by Ryan Moore. Kings Time, a good winner on handicap debut last month, rates the lead threat, with Giuseppe Cassioli and Free Solo others to consider.

Likely a strong pace which should suit recent Leopardstown winner KINGS TIME (nap)

This looks like as good an opportunity as any for the consistent BREEGE to get her head back in front. Runner-up on her last two starts in strong company, John Quinn's charge should be at home under these conditions and she get the vote ahead of Stenton Glider (second) and Bridestones (third), who didn't have much between them in the Coral Distaff at Sandown last month. The returning Lose Yourself must also enter calculations, as well as Heredia and Purplepay.

BREEGE has run tremendous races to finish second in the Sandringham Handicap and Oak Tree Stakes the last twice and has good claims on these terms if this doesn't come too quickly after Goodwood. The unexposed Lose Yourself and Stenton Glider make it a strong hand for the 3-y-os, while Heredia looks the pick of the older horses.

If BREEGE doesn't find this coming too soon after last week's fine second in the Oak Tree at Goodwood she looks the one to beat.

Gweedore dead-heated for the win last time over 7f at Doncaster and he looks likely to be in the mix once again, but he may be susceptible to some better treated rivals such as LETHAL LEVI. Karl Burke's gleding has been dropped 1lb in the ratings after his fifth over 6f at York last time and the form of that race is turning out well, with the first and second subsequently winning. Amber Island completes the shortlist.

LETHAL LEVI has an excellent record here and is on a good mark on the pick of his form, so could be worth chancing having a rare start at this trip. There was little between Thunder Ball and Urban Sprawl when placed in the Britannia at Royal Ascot and the two 3-y-os in the field head the dangers.

Sir Winston is respected but this can lie between URBAN SPRAWL and Thunder Ball who are hard to split on Royal Ascot form.

BASHOLO has steadily dropped in the ratings over the last 12 months and, while she finds it tough going in handicaps, this race presents Stella Barclay's filly with a good opportunity to make a belated return to winning ways. Her sole previous success came over 5f and, with that in mind, she has nothing to fear dropping to the minimum distance. Mrs Bagerran has been expensive to follow but is another with a likable profile at this level. Birdie Bowers and James Watt complete the shortlist.

MRS BAGERRAN has been holding her form well of late and this isn't as competitive as the race she finished third in at Catterick 4 days ago, so she's preferred to Birdie Bowers, who also arrives on the back of a solid showing. Basholo is likely to be back on her game after a break, too.

Mrs Bagerran should make another bold bid but BASHOLO's placed form in May gives her solid claims at this modest level.

There have been few more progressive than QUINAULT this season. Stuart Williams' gelding has rocketed through the handicap, going up a total of 38lb since winning at Chelmsford in April. The form of his latest Newmarket success took a timely boost when the runner-up bolted up in Listed company last weekend and, with further improvement on the cards, he is difficult to oppose. Washington Heights finished fourth in that same contest and could get closer with a 7lb swing in the weights. Zaman Jemil, who was due to go off favourite for the Stewards' Cup consolation race before being withdrawn at the start, appeals most of the remainder.

DARK TROOPER has quickly made up into a useful sprinter, producing a career-best display when going in again at Haydock on Sunday and he could well represent a spot of value turned out quickly under a penalty. Quinault, a real success story, has to be respected in search of a remarkable 7-timer with his old adversary Washington Heights another to consider. Batal Dubai completes the shortlist.

Quinault won't give up his winning spree easily but DARK TROOPER (nap) looks well ahead of the handicapper under a 3lb penalty.

Bucanero Fuerte returned to winning ways in the Railway Stakes over C&D, having finished third in the Coventry to River Tiber, with Givemethebeatboys one place behind in fourth. The pair are both likely to enter calculations once again, but UNQUESTIONABLE, who was runner-up to Adrian Murray's colt here last time, gets the vote. The son of Wootton Bassett has the scope to improve further and can add to his trainer's excellent record in this contest, as he bids for an unprecedented 18th success. Albany heroine Porta Fortuna completes the shortlist.

There wasn't much between BUCANERO FUERTE and Unquestionable in the Railway Stakes over this C&D last month, and it should be close between them once again. Bucanero Fuerte displayed a willing attitude that day and, with further progress on the cards, he may again have the edge on Aidan O'Brien's charge. Porta Fortuna is 3-3 following her success in the Albany at Royal Ascot and, also open to further improvement, she is likely to give the aforementioned colts plenty to think about.

The selection is the progressive PORTA FORTUNATA, quite a decisive winner of the Albany Stakes last time with more improvement possible

PEARL EYE has developed quite the love affair with this track and he looks to hold every chance of maintaining his unbeaten record here, despite a career-high mark of 77. The son of Expert Eye is versatile with regard to the ground, while unexposed Chelmsford winner Get Stuck In looks to be his main danger. Harlem Nights has the form to get involved in proceedings, as well as the consistent Senesi.

HARLEM NIGHTS wasted no time getting back to form when second at Newmarket and remains of plenty of interest at a trip he's unexposed at. The lightly-raced Get Stuck In is another potential improver back from a break, while Pol Roger and Pearl Eye are closely matched on their form here 3 weeks ago.

The step back up to 1m is a plus for SENESI and this progressive filly gets the nod ahead of Pearl Eye, who made it 2-2 here latest

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

DAYSOFOURLIVES has made a pleasing start to his career and he got off the mark when scoring over 1m at Kempton last time. Marco Botti's charge makes his handicap bow here and an opening mark of 85 doesn't appear out of his reach. Better can be expected of Sceptic and he is entitled to respect, while Merlin The Wizard should also be in the mix.

SNIPER'S EYE continued his theme of race-by-race progress when runner-up behind a useful Godolphin inmate 7 weeks ago (pulled clear of the remainder) and, with further progress in the offing now handicapping, he could be the answer. Wind In Your Sails remains the type to do better herself in handicaps and is feared, whilst Sceptic could bounce back from a lesser effort at Sandown following a 5-week break.

The tentative suggestion is SNIPER'S EYE who had subsequent winners behind him when runner-up here in his final novice.

AIME DESJY won a Ballinrobe bumper on his first start for current connections and showed promise in two hurdle outings on testing ground last winter. The champion trainer remains in rampant form and this looks a good opportunity for the lightly raced eight-year-old to open his account over hurdles. Estepona Sun won twice on the Flat for Ger Lyons and has plenty of placed efforts since over hurdles including at Ballinrobe last time. Albert Camus was bought for 115,000 guineas after winning three times on the Flat for John Gosden but has been absent for nearly two years since a promising hurdle debut at Down Royal. Any market move for Quinta would be interesting.

AIME DESJY sets a clear standard and is taken to make the most of a good opportunity. On The Tide and Estepona Sun can battle it out for minor honours.

This looks like the perfect opportunity for AIME DESJY who sets a clear standard on form.

RIBKANA's latest run for second over 1m2f was a step in the right direction and the daughter of Ribchester is taken to progress here. She was headed inside the final furlong that day and should not be underestimated dropping in distance. Others of interest include Fortuitous Star, who retains the mark from a decent third over 6f at Ripon last month, and handicap debutant Brookie Cookie.

RIBKANA surely has a race in her judged on recent efforts and gets the vote in a thin handicap. Fortuitous Star and Brookie Cookie are a couple of others to consider.

The vote goes to RIBKANA, who travelled well for a long way when runner-up at Beverley last time and is a big player back in trip.

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

A case can be made for a handful of these as the likes of Collective Power, Heavenly Power and the ultra-tough mare Cnodian all have the ability to go well. However, marginal preference is for DESERT HAVEN, who has run with credit on several previous visits to the Curragh and dropping back to 6f could unlock further improvement from this relatively unexposed three-year-old. Winemaker is another from that age bracket who warrants a second look now that he is tried in blinkers.

SECRET MAGICIAN failed to fire at Galway last time but he appeared to be working his way back to form when sixth of 15 in a stronger handicap than this over C&D on his penultimate start. The 4-y-o has dipped to a career-low mark and is worth chancing in this wide-open contest. Collective Power went close at Naas recently and he is next on the list, though Shoebox King and Ice Cold In Alex also merit respect.

After an unlucky run in the Scurry Handicap last month HEAVENLY POWER can gain some level of compensation here

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

Amathus has won his last two starts, both over this C&D, but he has been put up another 4lb by the handicapper for the latest of those victories and that, plus a rise in class, makes the hat-trick that bit more difficult. Bold Ribb is interesting on his first start for new connections after winning a Dundalk maiden and he could go well, but ZABBIE is preferred. He won very easily here on soft ground recently and may be up to shrugging off a 5lb rise if he takes to the quicker surface.

ZABBIE is versatile as regards ground and produced a career-best effort to land a C&D handicap 7 days ago. She shades the vote to defy her revised mark, with Flying Spirit and the hat-trick seeking Amathus others to consider. Bold Ribb, on debut for John Ryan, is another worthy of note.

A chance is taken on the lightly raced DAKOTA POWER, who'll find this easier up from 6f. Recent C&D winner Zabbie is second choice.

Magnanimous Mehmus boasts some respectable Irish form and is noted on debut for Darryll Holland, while Kempton novice winner Glory Sky is going the right way and will be a big player if she copes with the return to racing on turf. Nevertheless, ZAPPHIRE, whose dam is out of a half-sister to top-class miler Soviet Song, looks a more intriguing option, given she has proven stamina and debuts in a handicap off a highly workable mark. Destined completes the shortlist.

POWERFUL RESPONSE shaped like a horse still ahead of his mark when runner-up at Doncaster 3 weeks ago, idling and reeled in late on. He earns the vote to come out on top with any forecast rain likely to aid his cause back at 7f. Low-mileage Glory Sky and Highfield Viking are others to consider, with Destined also in the mix.

Having stayed on well for a close second over 6f at Thirsk two weeks ago, DESTINED (nap) is open to further improvement now tackling 7f.

CHARLIES PRIDE showed promise when staying on nicely into sixth behind Sheer Bravado on his handicap debut at Cork last month. The selection wasn't disgraced in three maiden outings earlier this year and has plenty of scope for improvement in what appears a modest enough event. Dontdooddson is certainly at the opposite end of the experience spectrum with three career wins (2 chase/1 hurdle) and the topweight was placed at Limerick last time. The lightly raced Blackberry Jack ran well on both Flat outings last year and may progress from an outing over hurdles at Roscommon last month, while Neev's Dream and Depeche Mo are others to consider.

BLACKBERRY JACK has yet to get anywhere near his Flat form in this sphere, but he possibly needed the run on his reappearance at Roscommon last month and is worth one more chance in a weak-looking handicap. Dontdooddson and Cracklinrose head the dangers.

Preference is for DONTDOODDSON has become well treated and posted his best run for some time when third at Limerick last month

Only narrowly denied over this distance at Nottingham in June, this could go the way of FUNKY TOWN PINKIE. She seemed to appreciate the return to turf on that occasion and, with further improvement not ruled out, she gets the vote ahead of the class-dropping Yasmin From York. The relatively unexposed Michael's Pledge is another to consider in first-time blinkers.

CRACKED UP has hinted at ability and is bred to be much better than a mark of 59, so she's worth chancing now switched to handicaps/upped in trip. Spantik is one to consider on the back of an excusable run and Funky Town Pinkie is likely to be involved if she can back up a good second at Nottingham in June.

Coltrane's half-brother MICHAEL'S PLEDGE has been placed over 1m6f in both his handicaps and should have more to offer as a stayer.

CURRAHEEN PRINCESS did finish behind a few of these at Cork last time, most notably Gabriella's Spirit (winner) and Little Queenie (second), but she is an eight-time winner on turf, all over the minimum trip, and her figures of 2-4 at this venue suggest she could well be up to reversing that form back at a track which clearly brings out the best in her. Silmaniya has performed better than her finishing positions suggest this year and is noted along with Dun Na Sead, who has won two of her last three starts, and Jon Riggens.

JON RIGGENS was unlucky behind a couple of these at Cork recently and, granted better luck this time, the 5-y-o can gain compensation. A winner on this card last year, Gordon Bennett has edged back to a good mark and he has to be taken seriously, while Prisoner's Dilemma could be a threat back down in trip if they go hard up front. Gabriella's Spirit and Little Queenie were the two that finished in front of the selection at Cork and both should be on the premises once again.

This stiffer 5f should suit JON RIGGENS who looked a bit unlucky at Cork behind Gabriella's Spirit

Hot Fashion didn't do a lot wrong on her debut when a three-length second at Newbury, where she hit the front two out before being passed, but GIUDECCA may have the edge today. She was noticeably easy to back before her second at Newmarket when running green throughout, but she will have learned plenty from that experience and looked a useful sort in the making. Get The Music On and Lady Chatterley are interesting newcomers, while Miss Gitana could be better over further in time.

HOT FASHION and Giudecca both made encouraging debuts when second at Newbury and Newmarket respectively and look the pair to focus on. The former looked the more straightforward of the 2 so has marginal preference. Samoon Star catches the eye on pedigree so may emerge best of the newcomers.

Giudecca and HOT FASHION both shaped well on debut and the latter can provide in-form Ralph Beckett with another winner.

Exceedingly Regal, who wintered in Dubai, posted a respectable effort on his return to the UK scene at Yarmouth last month and may improve now he is tried in cheekpieces. However, the unexposed FINBAR'S LAD showed a liking for this course when he scored over 1m on his penultimate start and, off just 4lb higher, appears to have more offer back down in trip on just his fourth start in a handicap. Lockdown Lass and Ugo Gregory are others with sound claims at this level.

EXCEEDINGLY REGAL returned to Britain after an absence with a good second at Yarmouth last month and, with cheekpieces on for the first time, he's capable of going one better at the likely expense of the thriving Lockdown Lass. Ugo Gregory is a big threat to both if allowed a soft lead.

Having returned from a break with a good second at Yarmouth last month, EXCEEDINGLY REGAL is taken to go one better.

CRAFTY GAEL has filled the runner-up spot on three of his last four completed starts and had Indulging six lengths behind when beating all bar Vale Of Glory at Punchestown. His latest effort behind Ricky Langford at Wexford was given a timely boost by the winner at Cork on Monday. Globetrottersivola has progressed this year and looks well capable of success at this level judged on his close third to Sheer Bravado at Cork last time. Redwood Queen won at Cartmel last summer and caught the eye when staying on into third at Punchestown on her first start for Charles Byrnes. Lakomet Of Saints, Muntahez and Up And Out are others to note.

GLOBETROTTER showed enough to think he might have a race in him from this sort of mark when third at Cork last month and gets the vote. Indulging was down the field on the Flat last time but had shaped quite well when fourth over hurdles at Punchestown prior to that and is second choice ahead of Ross O'Sullivan's Crafty Gael.

Narrowly denied on two of his last three starts, SIXCOR looks primed to defend his crown, having won this off an identical mark last year. The booking of Dougie Costello for the first time could be another plus and he is narrowly preferred to Ski Angel, who is capable of being in the shake-up on the evidence of her breakthrough success over C&D at the end of last month. It is also worth keeping an eye on Wrecked It Ralph.

SKI ANGEL can confirm recent C&D form with Bonito Cavalo and come out on top again. Wee Fat Mac is also interesting in a first-time tongue tie.

Eight Mile is 3lb lower than when failing to land his hat-trick under a 12lb penalty at Chepstow last month and with the George Scott's horses going well, he could get into the shake-up despite a rise in grade. PREMIERE BEAUTY has seen her handicap mark lowered after being put in her place at Newmarket, but that was a class 3 and connections lower their sights here. Her one win was at Yarmouth on similar going and she could surprise again with a clear run, while Spring Day is an interesting alternative now returned to this trip on her first start for John Butler.

PREMIERE BEAUTY has been disappointing the last twice, but she takes a marked drop in grade here and is fancied to capitalise. Eight Mile could get back on the up having been given more of a break, while Nuthatch appeals as the sort to benefit from first-time headgear.

Jamie Osborne's filly NUTHATCH is a quirky type but she's won two of her seven starts and went close off this mark at Goodwood in June.

GENTLE AND KIND won a point-to-point at Tipperary but was absent for over two years before making her debut under Rules in a maiden hurdle over C&D. The Henry de Bromhead-trained mare filled the runner-up spot behind three-time bumper winner Castra Vetera and should progress from that run. Mighty Mo Missouro was second three times in maiden hurdles this spring and earned a crack at the Boodles Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. However, he's been a bit disappointing since and now replaces cheek pieces with blinkers. Camino Rock has strong claims on his third to Ballybawn Belter in a 25-runner handicap hurdle at the Punchestown Festival but needs to bounce back after trailing home at Roscommon.

GENTLE AND KIND made an encouraging, if rather belated, hurdling debut over C&D last month and is worth a chance to build on that promise with Rachael Blackmore taking over in the saddle this time. Mighty Mo Missouri was well held in a Galway Flat handicap last week but her juvenile hurdle form last season puts her at the forefront of calculations here. Camino Rock ran poorly at Roscommon last time but is unlikely to be far away if bouncing back to his best.

CAMINO ROCK will be a big player if he returns to the level of his placed effort at the Punchestown festival and makes most appeal

The hat-trick seeking Ayr Poet has been nothing shy of progressive recently and Jim Goldie's eight-year-old can go close under a 4lb penalty for his last success. However, GOLDEN VALOUR filled the runner-up spot behind the aforementioned most recently and can reverse that form now 6lb better off with his rival. Havana Party is another to bear in mind following a decent third at Hamilton in June.

AYR POET proved at least as good as ever when successful at this C&D 5 days ago and he can land the hat-trick in his current mood. The biggest threat could come from Innse Gall, who has been holding his form well this year, while Havana Party won at this C&D on his penultimate outing and is respected after a break.

The vote goes to multiple course winner AYR POET, who is as good as ever and has form figures of 2211 here in his last four starts.

Runner-up on his last two starts, WONDERWALL is fancied to break his maiden now stepping up in distance. He went second towards the finish over 1m2f on his most recent run and, with the potential for more to come over this longer trip, can get the better of the unexposed Humanity, who finished a decent third on the all-weather on his racecourse bow last November. King Of The Pride also warrants a market check on his racecourse bow.

WONDERWALL and Humanity are the pair that stand out. The latter shaped well behind one who's gone on to reach a smart level this year on his Newcastle debut 9 months ago, but the step up in trip isn't certain to suit given how he shaped that day, whereas the former will very much benefit from this stiffer test and is narrowly preferred on that basis. Sailing On caught the eye from an unpromising position at Windsor recently and shouldn't be completely overlooked.

This can lie between HUMANITY, who ran so well on his AW debut in the winter, and Wonderwall, primed for improvement now up in trip

STRATUM won his last hurdle start but that was nearly two years ago at Thurles and he's mainly been campaigned since in good quality staying races on the Flat. The ten-year-old was beaten less than a length by Shanroe at Galway last week and receives 5lb from stablemate Winter Fog who jumped badly right when winning a similar event at Cork last time. Sams Profile was a smart sort over hurdles winning the Grade 2 Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran in 2021 but was generally disappointing over fences last season, while Fury Road and Gevrey also revert back from chasing. Gevrey has been absent since beaten a length by I Am Maximus in the BoyleSports Irish Grand National on Easter Monday.

The classy WINTER FOG landed a similar event at Cork last month and is taken to give the weight away. His stablemate Stratum has recorded some useful efforts in defeat on the Flat this summer and might be the one to give him most to think about.

Though he hasn't run over hurdles in some time, STRATUM(nap) was a fine second on the Flat at Galway last time and can take this.

DENIS ANTHONY is building up a solid record and is taken to notch a second handicap win of the summer. Robusto, an AW winner here, promises to be suited by the slightly longer trip and is second choice ahead of last month's Windsor scorer Greased Lightning.

Meindee threw away a winning chance when falling at the last in a similar event at Punchestown but made amends over hurdles at Sligo last month with Goodnightngodbless about eight lengths back in fifth.

HARDWIRED arrives on the back of a comfortable success over hurdles and, if he's in the same form returning to this sphere, he should take all the beating. The in-form Walking The Walk is an obvious danger and Room To Roam should give another good account.

The key to this race could be the recent clash over C&D between KATS BOB (first) and Caribbean Sunset (second), with the former taken to come out on top once again.

Course regular One Last Hug and The Caltonian cannot be ruled out either.

KATS BOB justified strong support when scoring over C&D last time and remains fairly treated on old form. He can follow up. One Last Hug and Caribbean Sunset rate the principal dangers.

The recent C&D handicap in which KATS BOB (nap) beat Caribbean Sunset looks the key formline and the placings can be confirmed.

A game winner over C&D last month, GOOSE ROCK looks the one to beat if anywhere near that form. He has gone up 4lb for that success, but Adam Tracey negates all of that rise with his 7lb claim and the gelded son of Mehmas remains of significant interest. Metric must merit consideration on her handicap debut with an opening mark of 53 looking workable as she steps up in trip and she is feared most, ahead of Native Melody.

The suggestion is BEACH KITTY, who caught the eye doing some good late work on her Newbury debut back in May and is sure to go close from an opening BHA mark of 53 if returning to that form. Metric is another handicap debutante to note, while recent C&D Goose Rock remains unexposed at the trip.

Barring support for one of the unexposed runners this looks the ideal opportunity for GOOSE ROCK (nap) to follow up his recent win.

ARCTIC AMBITION is thriving and did well to get second given that plenty went wrong at Cartmel last time, so he's fancied to get back to winning ways at the likely expense of Good As Hell. The Dasher Conway shaped well at Killarney recently, so he's also worthy of consideration.

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.
