13:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (6.5/1 -8%) Nazca	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(7) Nazca 6.5/1, Showed first worthwhile form in 18 months when winning 10-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (6f, 22/1) 10 days ago. His task is to now back that up under a penalty. Surprise winner of a Chelmsford classified last week and needs to back that up.
9 2nd (9) (18/1 -13%) Coast	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) Coast 18/1, Went close over C&D in May but largely below form since, including back on turf at Yarmouth last time. Dual C&D winner and 8lb lower than when last successful, but modest of late.
2 3rd (2) (5/1 +50%) Show Compassion	5 5/1(+50%)	(2) Show Compassion 5/1, C&D winner in July but below form both starts since. C&D winner last month, but twice held since; others make more appeal.
8 4th (8) (5.5/1 +21%) Lancashire Life	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(8) Lancashire Life 5.5/1, Confirmed return to form when second of 10 in handicap at this course (5.1f, 5/1) 24 days ago. Needs considering back up in trip. Hard to win with but placed on last four visits; another big effort likely.
3 5th (3) (4/1 +20%) Boarhunt	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Boarhunt 4/1, Justified support in first-time cheekpieces at Leicester in July and ran respectably back in handicap company when fourth at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 18 days ago. Player. Course winner (7f) and won over 6f on turf, but may need extra furlong on a sharp track.
1 6th (1) (5.5/1 -120%) Gatwick Kitten	5.5 5.5/1(-120%)	(1) Gatwick Kitten 5.5/1, Made it 3 wins from last 4 starts when taking 10-runner handicap (9/2) at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago, driven out. Seems sure to go well again under a penalty. Has won three of his last four starts on turf, but out of the frame in five starts on AW.
4 7th (4) (9/1 +64%) Eldeyaar	9 9/1(+64%)	(4) Eldeyaar 9/1, C&D winner who hasn't shown his form for a while. Enough to prove. Dual C&D winner last year, but has shown little since the latest of those wins.
5 8th (5) (9/1 +44%) Peachey Carnehan	9 9/1(+44%)	(5) Peachey Carnehan 9/1, 4-time C&D winner who is proving more miss than hit this season. Blinkers back on. Seven course wins, but a modest effort here last time; blinkers return.
6 9th (6) (11/1 -57%) Q Twenty Boy	11 11/1(-57%)	(6) Q Twenty Boy 11/1, C&D winner who shaped as if back in form when length third of 10 to Nazca in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) 10 days ago, never nearer after missing the break. Could reverse the form with that rival if breaking on terms this time. C&D winner and third behind Nazca last time, but no better off at the weights.
10 10th (10) (33/1 -136%) Coley's Koko	33 33/1(-136%)	(10) Coley's Koko 33/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (5.1f) 24 days ago, nearest finish. Caught the eye over 5f here last time, but hasn't shone over this far in the past.

LTO Selection:

13:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Preference is for LANCASHIRE LIFE who has been placed in her last four visits here and is more likely to run her race than many.

13:50 Epsom Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (3.5/1 -27%) Mirroring	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(4) Mirroring 3.5/1, Matched rather than improved her form in 6f Newmarket nursery a fortnight ago but this is a drop in class and 7f should suit on pedigree. No improvement when 3rd on recent nursery debut (Class 2; 6f, soft); new trip tried today.
1 2nd (1) (8.5/1 +39%) The Smiling Wolf	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(1) The Smiling Wolf 8.5/1, Modest form in 6f contests. 7f should suit now handicapping but mark probably not too generous. Some promise over 6f and this trip should suit; opening mark not an obvious gift though.
3 3rd (3) (8/1 +0%) The Bitter Moose	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) The Bitter Moose 8/1, Modest form in 6f maidens. 7f should suit now handicapping and certainly bred to be better than his opening mark. Not built on his debut promise but 7f should suit and that initial form has a solid look.
2 4th (2) (3.33/1 -122%) Guns And Flowers	3.33 3.33/1(-122%)	(2) Guns And Flowers 3.33/1, Won 6f Chelmsford maiden starting out for this trainer in June and creditable efforts in nurseries since, no extra close home over this trip in the mud at Chester last time. Good chance off the same mark now fitted with cheekpieces. Ran well when 2nd on soft ground over this trip 12 days ago; 4lb well in; headgear today.
7 5th (7) (50/1 -25%) Mighty Pearl	50 50/1(-25%)	(7) Mighty Pearl 50/1, Well beaten in 3 races up to 7f. Handicap debut. Poor form in three novice/maiden runs; this more suitable but easy enough to swerve.
5 6th (5) (1.5/1 +57%) Battle Charge	1.5 1.5/1(+57%)	(5) Battle Charge 1.5/1, Has shown a fair bit in 6f events and this longer trip will suit now handicapping. Improvement could be on the way. Modest form over 6f but grounds for expecting better upped in trip and handicapping.
6 7th (6) (16/1 -14%) Midnight Force	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) Midnight Force 16/1, Poor over 5f at Yarmouth last time but claims on previous run over 6f there now handicapping up in trip having been gelded. Chance on his Yarmouth 4th (6f, good to soft); less good either side; gelded; unexposed.

LTO Selection:

13:50 Epsom Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Nursery newcomers Battle Charge and THE BITTER MOOSE could take steps forward today and the selection's debut was promising.

Should be firmly in the mix again. Close second on last two runs, including over C&D; strong contender.
4 3rd (4) (12/1 +33%) Dramatic Effect	12 12/1(+33%)	(4) Dramatic Effect 12/1, Bated Breath filly. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 10.5f) Ejtyah out of half-sister to very smart 1½m-13.5f winner Daryakana. 33/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at this C&D (good) on debut 28 days ago.

9 7th (9) (33/1 -106%) Pannonica	33 33/1(-106%)	(9) Pannonica 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. Better effort when fifth of 10 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good) 8 days ago. Ran respectably at Salisbury last week but more is required.

14:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (0.33/1 +51%) Lexington Belle	0.33 0.33/1(+51%)	(5) Lexington Belle 0.33/1, Lightly-raced winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner nursery at Thirsk (7f, good to firm, 11/4) 7 days ago. Stepping up to this trip shouldn't be an issue and she will prove hard to beat under a penalty. 8lb well in under penalty for recent Thirsk win and a half-sister to a winner around here.
2 2nd (2) (5/1 -43%) Between Me And U	5 5/1(-43%)	(2) Between Me And U 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 22/1) 51 days ago. Up in trip for this nursery debut and he could have a part to play. Steadily progressive in three starts; longer trip should suit on pedigree; shortlisted.
3 3rd (3) (10/1 -43%) On Borrowed Time	10 10/1(-43%)	(3) On Borrowed Time 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 9/2, 10 lengths sixth of 9 to Lexington Belle in nursery at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Up in trip now switched to tapeta and she clearly has work to do. 2-4 on turf, but a long way behind Lexington Belle at Thirsk a week ago.
1 4th (1) (14/1 -40%) Catena	14 14/1(-40%)	(1) Catena 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Beverley in June. 18/1, fourth of 7 in nursery at Haydock (7f, heavy) 12 days ago. Up in tripfor this tapeta debut and she looks vulnerable under top-weight. Longer trip should be within range on AW debut, but looks a stiff task under top weight.
4 5th (4) (50/1 -52%) Qandil	50 50/1(-52%)	(4) Qandil 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in nursery (22/1) at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Needs to take a considerable step forward now faced with a stiffer test. Yard also saddles Seven Aces. Not built on early promise; bred to stay at least this far, but needs a turnaround.
6 6th (6) (28/1 -75%) Seven Aces	28 28/1(-75%)	(6) Seven Aces 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, ninth of 11 in nursery at Lingfield (6f, firm) 37 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip for this tapeta debut. Heavy defeats the last twice; related to AW winners, but has enough to prove.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

This revolves around LEXINGTON BELLE who is 8lb well in under a penalty for her recent emphatic success at Thirsk on nursery debut.

14:25 Epsom Maiden (Class 4) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (18/1 +64%) Unreal Connection	18 18/1(+64%)	(7) Unreal Connection 18/1, Down the field in maidens at Salisbury and Goodwood. Midfield in two 7f maidens this summer; needs good step forward to trouble the principals.
6 2nd (6) (6.5/1 -63%) Tokyo Dreamer	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(6) Tokyo Dreamer 6.5/1, Consistent rather than progressive, third of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/2) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should be in the mix again. Placed in four starts at this trip but she's not progressing; cheekpieces added; e-w shout.
1 3rd (1) (5.5/1 +80%) Asteverdi	5.5 5.5/1(+80%)	(1) Asteverdi 5.5/1, 24,000 gns yearling, Advertise filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 6f winner Owney Madden and 7f/1m winner Carouse. Dam 1¼m-15f winner who stayed 2½m. 40/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on debut 27 days ago. Too green to do herself justice on Newmarket debut last month; should know more today.
9 4th (9) (14/1 -75%) Nina Rapida	14 14/1(-75%)	(9) Nina Rapida 14/1, £2,000 yearling, Masar filly. Dam 7f winner out of useful 2-y-o 5f-7f winner Satulagi. Fourth of 9 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft, 12/1) on debut 14 days ago, getting the hang of things as the race went on. May well do better. Promise amidst greenness on Musselburgh debut two weeks ago; can do better; each-way shout.
8 5th (8) (2.25/1 +36%) Nelson Rose	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(8) Nelson Rose 2.25/1, Ran best race to date switched to turf when second of 7 in C&D maiden, headed late on. Probably did too much too soon at Catterick and worth another chance back at this venue. Front-runner; good 2nd over C&D last month but took a backward step last time; vulnerable.
3 6th (3) (11/1 +31%) Happy Place	11 11/1(+31%)	(3) Happy Place 11/1, Foaled March 15. 22,000 gns yearling, Crystal Ocean filly.

Dam ran twice. 22,000gns yearling; closely related to useful Bless Him (RPR 111); yard run two newcomers.

Dam unraced half-sister to winner up to 7f Dream Eater and winner up to 13f Dreamspeed (both smart). 42,000euros half-sister to three winners; no surprise to see him feature on debut.
2 9th (2) (4/1 -78%) Belle Flora	4 4/1(-78%)	(2) Belle Flora 4/1, 26,000 gns yearling, Expert Eye filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 9f Patentar and 1¼m winner Cipango. Dam 7f-1m winner. Fourth of 8 in novice at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 9/1) on debut 36 days ago, keeping on under hands and heels. Hood on. Should progress. Promising 4th at Newbury (6f) on debut; open to plenty of improvement over 7f; hood added.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Epsom Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

14:40 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (33/1 +18%) King's Gambit	33 33/1(+18%)	(5) King's Gambit 33/1, 125,000 gns Saxon Warrior half-brother to several winners, including useful US 7f/1m winner Miner's Cat. 20/1, badly in need of the experience in 7f novice here on debut 4 weeks ago (Boiling Point second). Finished over 5l behind Boiling Point here on debut; needs to improve plenty.
4 2nd (4) (2.5/1 +55%) City Burglar	2.5 2.5/1(+55%)	(4) City Burglar 2.5/1, Cracksman colt. Closely related to useful winner up to 7f Frankness. 33/1, showed promise while given a considerate introduction on debut in 10-runner 7f Sandown maiden 3 weeks ago. Will improve over this longer trip. Nicely bred colt who showed promise at Sandown last month; open to progress.
3 3rd (3) (0.83/1 -14%) Boiling Point	0.83 0.83/1(-14%)	(3) Boiling Point 0.83/1, Too Darn Hot colt. Closely related to 2-y-o 7f winner Resolute Man. 10/3, promising start when 2 lengths second in 7f 9-runner novice here 4 weeks ago, just needing the experience a shade more than the potentially-smart winner. 1m sure to suit and big shout with improvement to come. Promising second in traditionally useful novice event here four weeks ago; respected.
7 4th (7) (28/1 -40%) Not Me	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) Not Me 28/1, Foaled April 7. 160,000 gns yearling, Farhh colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 16.6f Nate The Great and 2-y-o 6f winner So Sharp. Mixed pedigree but one to note on debut. 160,000gns yearling; Farhh half-brother to two winners; check the betting.

Longer trip sure to suit and he will improve. Showed ability in maiden at Glorious Goodwood while appearing to find 6f too sharp.
2 6th (2) (12/1 -20%) Alentejo	12 12/1(-20%)	(2) Alentejo 12/1, Foaled March 6. 52,000 gns foal, €130,000 yearling, Waldgeist colt. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Scottish out of useful 2-y-o 6f/6.5f winner Zeiting. In-form top yard's newcomers usually better for a run but fair bit of appeal and interesting to see a market move. 130,000euros yearling; by Waldgeist; Royal Lodge entry; interesting newcomer.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Newbury Maiden (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The best form is represented by the two colts who showed clear promise here four weeks ago, namely BOILING POINT and Thyer.

14:50 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 10f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (1.38/1 -106%) Naaey	1.38 1.38/1(-106%)	(10) Naaey 1.38/1, Promising sort. Second of 14 in minor event (evens) at Kempton (8f) on sole 2-y-o start. That race has thrown up several subsequent winners and this filly may well go one better here if fully tuned-up. Yard also saddles Venus Rosewater. Just beaten on her Kempton debut last November; form has worked out well; solid chance.
4 2nd (4) (16/1 +43%) Avon Light	16 16/1(+43%)	(4) Avon Light 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 13 in minor event at Newbury (10f, good) 27 days ago. Will be of greater interest in handicaps later on. Midfield in two Newbury novices; may come into her own in handicaps after this.
6 3rd (6) (3.33/1 +56%) Classic Times	3.33 3.33/1(+56%)	(6) Classic Times 3.33/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 5 in minor event (3/1) at Haydock (8f, soft) 27 days ago. In good hands and likely she will be seen in a better light when going down the handicap route. Bred to be better than she has shown so far and is a half-sister to an AW winner.
12 4th (12) (5.5/1 +8%) Venus Rosewater	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(12) Venus Rosewater 5.5/1, Promising individual. 20/1 and tongue strap on, sixth of 10 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) on debut 14 days ago. Can be expected to leave that form behind in time but little doubt that Naaey is the stable No 1 here. Some promise when sixth on Newmarket debut.
3 5th (3) (2.25/1 +50%) Urban Decay	2.25 2.25/1(+50%)	(3) Urban Decay 2.25/1, Promising sort. 1 win from 1 run this year. 10/3, won 7-runner minor event at Southwell (8.1f) when last seen in April. That represents fair form and likely there's more to come from her now upped in trip. Went close on debut and won second time; proven fresh and more to come.
2 6th (2) (66/1 -136%) Pop The Champagne	66 66/1(-136%)	(2) Pop The Champagne 66/1, Twice-raced maiden on Flat. Fair winner at 17f over hurdles. Second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft, 4/1) 15 days ago, having run of race. Vulnerable from a win point of view. Best known as a successful hurdler; this trip is likely to prove inadequate back on Flat.
13 7th (13) (200/1 -60%) Zanagor	200 200/1(-60%)	(13) Zanagor 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, soft, 80/1) on sole 2-y-o start. Significantly up in trip for this belated reappearance and she's hard to warm to. Well beaten on her Newmarket debut last October; major improvement needed.
5 8th (5) (250/1 -100%) Cape Point	250 250/1(-100%)	(5) Cape Point 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at Leicester (10f, good) 29 days ago. Readily passed over. Well beaten in two turf novices this summer; looks one for handicaps.
11 9th (11) (100/1 -300%) She's Good For Me	100 100/1(-300%)	(11) She's Good For Me 100/1, 55,000 gns foal, 100,000 gns yearling. Sister to useful 1½m-1¾m winner Melo Melo and half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Treasuring and 2-y-o 7f winner Delicious. Likely to come on for the run. Probably best watched on debut for jumps-oriented yard.
7 10th (7) (200/1 -60%) Gosmore	200 200/1(-60%)	(7) Gosmore 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Windsor (10f, good to soft) 67 days ago. Another who appears to be more of a handicapping prospect. Well beaten in her first two starts; needs a big step up.
9 11th (9) (200/1 -203%) Lightning Spark	200 200/1(-203%)	(9) Lightning Spark 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, last of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f). Off 160 days. Well held in first two starts; may yet to better, but perhaps in handicaps after this.
1 12th (1) (150/1 -127%) Frieze Frame	150 150/1(-127%)	(1) Frieze Frame 150/1, Cable Bay filly. Sister to 6f/7f winner Sopran Chris and half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 6f Exceed The Limit. Probably best watched on belated debut. Best watched on belated debut unless the market suggests otherwise.

15:00 Epsom Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (2.25/1 +50%) Muscika	2.25 2.25/1(+50%)	(4) Muscika 2.25/1, Won twice on all-weather early this year and, having dropped back down in the weights, ran well when fourth at York (6f) in July. Not in the same form next time, but quickly back on track when runner-up in claimer at Wolverhampton 4 days ago. Capable if on a going day. Conditions fine and ran well on Monday; may enjoy a tactical advantage.
1 2nd (1) (2.5/1 -53%) Count Otto	2.5 2.5/1(-53%)	(1) Count Otto 2.5/1, Had been running below form on turf following success at Lingfield in March, but bounced back when winning at this C&D in July. Confirmed returned to form when following up at Windsor last time and he remains on a workable mark. Leading contender. Won twice over C&D last month; still feasibly treated and likely to be in the shake up.
3 3rd (3) (1.75/1 +30%) Granary Queen	1.75 1.75/1(+30%)	(3) Granary Queen 1.75/1, Needs everything to drop right but ran as well as ever when narrowly denied at Brighton (7f) 8 days ago, despite stumbling over 1f out. It's now fourteen runs since her last win, but she can give another good account with cheekpieces back on. Usually runs her race & went very close over 7f last week; tactical race at 6f a concern.
2 4th (2) (7.5/1 -15%) Mellys Flyer	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(2) Mellys Flyer 7.5/1, Took advantage of a falling mark at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in April but hasn't been able to match that effort since, failing to beat a rival at Yarmouth when last seen in June. Others more persuasive. Effective at the track and on a competitive mark; well below par the last twice though.
5 5th (5) (28/1 -273%) Lumacho	28 28/1(-273%)	(5) Lumacho 28/1, Had excuses when trapped wide at Lingfield in June and back to form under an attacking ride when headed only close home at Kempton (6f) the following month. More needed back on turf as she makes first run for yard after leaving George Boughey. Three 5f wins last season; 2nd over 6f latest; sold 17,000gns since; back up in weights.

15:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (1.25/1 +64%) Kingswood Flyer	1.25 1.25/1(+64%)	(1) Kingswood Flyer 1.25/1, Progressed again when second of 11 at Salisbury 3 weeks ago. In top hands and limit hasn't been reached. Encouraging efforts at novice/maiden level; looks the type to progress in handicaps.
4 2nd (4) (2.5/1 +55%) Count Palatine	2.5 2.5/1(+55%)	(4) Count Palatine 2.5/1, Related to plenty of winners and promising start when fifth in novice company at Windsor. Matched rather than advanced her form next 2 outings before finding soft ground possibly against him switched to a nursery at Goodwood. May be capable of progress back down in trip/grade; has C&D form; interesting.
7 3rd (7) (5/1 +50%) Commander Crouch	5 5/1(+50%)	(7) Commander Crouch 5/1, Raced freely and took a backward step when sixth of 9 in nursery at Chester (7f, heavy) 12 days ago, not ideally placed. Not easy to make a case for. Possible improver as this 6f trip may prove his optimum; one to consider.
9 4th (9) (6/1 +57%) Moe's Legacy	6 6/1(+57%)	(9) Moe's Legacy 6/1, Failing to progress with experience, fourth of 9 in a maiden at Bath a fortnight ago. Nursery debut. May not have much room for improvement on nursery debut; now 0-5.
8 5th (8) (18/1 -50%) Land Of Magic	18 18/1(-50%)	(8) Land Of Magic 18/1, Showed ability when fifth in a 6f Goodwood maiden on second start but proved virtually unrideable on his Lingfield nursery debut. Fitted with a hood and back on track in no uncertain terms when winning 4-runner nursery at Sandown a fortnight ago. Task is to now back that up. Won a weak nursery at Sandown but could have more to offer in the retained hood.

15:15 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

With a solid-looking chance on form, KINGSWOOD FLYER is taken to defy top weight. Count Palatine is second choice.

15:25 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 14f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (4/1 +20%) Percy Jones	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) Percy Jones 4/1, Course winner. 11/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Chester (12.3f, heavy) 12 days ago. Step back up in trip will suit and he's a player. Has been running with credit on turf lately and the return to this trip is no problem.
7 2nd (7) (10/1 +0%) Double Oban	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Double Oban 10/1, Winner at Leicester in May. 14/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft) 27 days ago. This sort of trip looked too far on penultimate start; enough to prove.
2 3rd (2) (6.5/1 +7%) Lady Percival	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(2) Lady Percival 6.5/1, C&D winner who fell short in her pursuit of the hat-trick over C&D in December. Needs to resume her progress after a break. Record here reads 12113; returns from an absence but has gone well fresh before.
4 4th (4) (12/1 -33%) World Without Love	12 12/1(-33%)	(4) World Without Love 12/1, Latest win at Carlisle in June. 33/1, stamina seemingly stretched when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 48 days ago. Drop back in trip looks a good move. Both wins have come over this trip including here; return to this distance a plus.
6 5th (6) (1.2/1 +26%) Brave Knight	1.2 1.2/1(+26%)	(6) Brave Knight 1.2/1, Made a successful handicap debut at Windsor in May and took his form up another notch when second of 5 in handicap (2/1) at Sandown (14f, soft) 22 days ago, seeing out the longer trip well. Ought to remain competitive. Chased home an improver at Sandown last time and still unexposed as a stayer; respected.
3 6th (3) (6/1 -33%) Bit Harsh	6 6/1(-33%)	(3) Bit Harsh 6/1, Course winner in February before showing better form in defeat at Chelmsford and Southwell. Didn't fully convince upped to 2m at Lingfield last time but much respected now back down in distance. Completed an AW hat-trick last winter; this intermediate trip may suit; shortlisted.

15:35 Epsom Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (5.5/1 -65%) Lethal Touch	5.5 5.5/1(-65%)	(7) Lethal Touch 5.5/1, Dual winner in 2022 who got back on track after a couple of poor runs when third in 10-runner handicap at Newmarket (10f, good) in June. Failed to build on that promise at Wolverhampton but can be given another chance in an ordinary race. Good 3rd at Newmarket in June; hassled up front latest; not discounted.
10 2nd (10) (11/1 +21%) Gilbert	11 11/1(+21%)	(10) Gilbert 11/1, Returned to form in a first-time tongue strap when scoring at Windsor in June. Ran at least as well in defeat at Yarmouth next time but has been more miss than hit since. Blinkers on for 1st time. Of interest on this summer's best form and the change of headgear could perk him up.
3 3rd (3) (2.5/1 +64%) Swing To The Stars	2.5 2.5/1(+64%)	(3) Swing To The Stars 2.5/1, Improved for the switch to handicaps with a hood enlisted when runner-up at Nottingham prior to finishing a close third at Yarmouth. However, ran poorly upped to a trip she should stay at Newmarket (10f) last time. Bounce back required. Ran poorly over this trip last time but two solid efforts over 1m beforehand; low mileage.
9 4th (9) (12/1 -71%) Codswallop	12 12/1(-71%)	(9) Codswallop 12/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022 but quickly returned to form when fourth of 13 in 1m handicap at Bath (8f, good) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. Not taken lightly. Solid efforts in three of his last four starts; returning to 1m2f can help.
5 5th (5) (7/1 +13%) Ae Fond Kiss	7 7/1(+13%)	(5) Ae Fond Kiss 7/1, Showed benefit of her reappearance when second of 7 in handicap at Sandown in May. Underperformed at Chepstow 9 weeks later but wasted no time getting back to form when fourth of 5 at Chester (10.3f, heavy) 12 days ago. Drop into a Class 6 can help but she doesn't look ahead of her mark.
1 6th (1) (28/1 +15%) Stopnsearch	28 28/1(+15%)	(1) Stopnsearch 28/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021 and he came home last of 5 in C&D handicap (good to soft) 15 days ago. Plenty to prove. Sharper for his return but that was his second poor run in succession; risks attached.
8 7th (8) (16/1 -60%) Tawtheef	16 16/1(-60%)	(8) Tawtheef 16/1, Returned from 4 months off with a good second at Brighton (9.9f) in April and backed it up with a creditable seventh at Windsor the following month. Not seen since but is clearly capable fresh. Can fluff the start but two turf runs in the spring were both respectable.
4 8th (4) (4/1 +0%) Platinum Prince	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Platinum Prince 4/1, Arrives in good heart but left the impression he was keeping a bit to himself once more when third of 6 at Windsor (10f) 11 days ago. Conditions shouldn't be an excuse and he comes here in form; each-way claims again.
2 9th (2) (12/1 -20%) Come On John	12 12/1(-20%)	(2) Come On John 12/1, Scored at Wolverhampton and Brighton in May. Produced a rare below-par effort at Sandown last time, so appeals as the type to bounce back quickly with headgear refitted. Two wins in May; disappointing last time but in a stronger race; should be arriving late.
11 10th (11) (66/1 -313%) Certain Style	66 66/1(-313%)	(11) Certain Style 66/1, Showed a bit on qualifying runs and may do better now handicapping up in trip. Not disgraced in modest 1m maidens the last twice; needs more for new trip/handicapping.
6 11th (6) (10/1 +38%) Lexington Hero	10 10/1(+38%)	(6) Lexington Hero 10/1, Successful on second start at Wolverhampton in February but hasn't really built on that subsequently, too free in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket last time. Back up in trip. Won an AW seller in February; some fair handicap form since and this is a drop in class.

15:45 Newbury Listed (Class 1) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (2.25/1 +18%) Miaharris	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(10) Miaharris 2.25/1, A big-money climber as a breezer who looked potentially smart in making a winning debut in 5-runner maiden at Sandown (5f) 23 days ago, quickening to lead entering final 1f. Can go on to better things.
8 2nd (8) (3.5/1 +0%) Majestic Beauty	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(8) Majestic Beauty 3.5/1, Havana Grey filly who justified support when making a winning debut at Catterick (5f, good) in May and followed up with a battling display at Musselburgh (5f) 12 weeks later. Faces a quick turnaround but open to further improvement.
12 3rd (12) (9/1 +78%) Tears Of A Clown	9 9/1(+78%)	(12) Tears Of A Clown 9/1, Left debut form well behind when opening her account in 4-runner minor event at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) in May, albeit seen to maximum effect racing on favoured side of track. Has since left Roger Ingram and looks vulnerable now upped in grade.
6 4th (6) (4/1 +11%) Juniper Berries	4 4/1(+11%)	(6) Juniper Berries 4/1, Impressive when making a winning start at Bath and posted a couple of positive efforts since, notably when fourth in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Bit disappointing in Weatherbys Super Sprint but bounced back to form with a good second in valuable conditions event at Goodwood last time.
2 5th (2) (10/1 +38%) Beenham	10 10/1(+38%)	(2) Beenham 10/1, Havana Grey filly who confirmed debut promise when landing a Goodwood novice in May. Returned to a similar level when sixth of 20 in Weatherbys Super Sprint but wasn't in the same form tackling much softer conditions back at Goodwood last time.
13 6th (13) (20/1 +39%) Tenhotfourcrazy	20 20/1(+39%)	(13) Tenhotfourcrazy 20/1, Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at the third attempt in 10-runner minor event at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago, staying on to lead on line. This asks for a good deal more.
5 7th (5) (11/1 -10%) Indispensable	11 11/1(-10%)	(5) Indispensable 11/1, Put experience to good use when winning 5f maiden at Ripon in June. Improved on that form at the second attempt when a close third in Naas listed event and found testing conditions too much just 7 days on at Goodwood. Not taken lightly.
7 8th (7) (7.5/1 +17%) Lady Pink Rose	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(7) Lady Pink Rose 7.5/1, Didn't need to repeat her Queen Mary effort as she scrambled home at short odds in 12-runner maiden at Beverley (5f, good) 41 days ago. Respected back up in grade.
11 9th (11) (50/1 -25%) Tallulabelle	50 50/1(-25%)	(11) Tallulabelle 50/1, Improved on her debut form when third in Hilary Needler at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in June. Faced a stiff task in Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot but was put firmly in her place by Miaharris back in maiden company at Sandown last time.

16:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (5.5/1 +8%) Coup De Force	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(2) Coup De Force 5.5/1, Successful 3 times in 2022 and decent placed efforts at Goodwood and Bath in May. Not seen to best effect at Sandown since and can quickly bounce back. Three wins last year, the latest off 2lb lower at Southwell; each-way claims back on AW.
10 2nd (10) (25/1 -56%) Birkenhead	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) Birkenhead 25/1, Latest win at Southwell in May but seems to be in a lull for now, below-form fifth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Chester (5.1f, good) 49 days ago. Just 1lb above last winning mark and return to the AW a positive, but his wide draw isn't.
9 3rd (9) (16/1 -45%) Murbih	16 16/1(-45%)	(9) Murbih 16/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (50/1) at Haydock (5f, heavy) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive. Two of his three wins have come here, but he may need 6f around here these days.
7 4th (7) (14/1 -56%) Jojo Rabbit	14 14/1(-56%)	(7) Jojo Rabbit 14/1, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good fifth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Beverley (5f, soft) 17 days ago. Can give a good account. 2-2 over C&D as a 2yo; interesting back here, but could have been drawn better.
8 5th (8) (14/1 +30%) Leodis Dream	14 14/1(+30%)	(8) Leodis Dream 14/1, C&D winner. Seventeenth of 19 in handicap (25/1) at York (5f, good) 20 days ago. Has won one of his last 34 starts; recents efforts don't suggest that is about to change.
5 6th (5) (3/1 +0%) The Thames Boatman	3 3/1(+0%)	(5) The Thames Boatman 3/1, Free-going sort who made a winning return over C&D in February and, barring a blip in a small-field at Yarmouth in June, has been running well since, fifth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, soft) 15 days ago. Can make presence felt. Both wins have come here and 1lb lower than for C&D win in February; major player.
1 7th (1) (5.5/1 +15%) Intervention	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(1) Intervention 5.5/1, Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Again too free kept to a trip that's further than ideal when third of 7 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, soft). Off 109 days. Significantly back down in trip. Has good chance on pick of form. Rarely seen over the minimum trip; best watched unless popular in the market.
3 8th (3) (6.5/1 +28%) Paddy's Day	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(3) Paddy's Day 6.5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. Bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at York (5.4f, good, 9/1) 21 days ago. Has run well on turf this summer and respected now returned to 0-75 company.
11 9th (11) (6.5/1 +35%) Unlimited Data	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(11) Unlimited Data 6.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in May. 7/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 46 days ago. Has work to do. Record over C&D reads 113; worth another chance back under suitable conditions.
4 10th (4) (33/1 -106%) Loch Carron	33 33/1(-106%)	(4) Loch Carron 33/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Ayr in May. 11/2, last of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 24 days ago, possibly amiss. Makes tapeta debut. Particularly poor at Musselburgh last month; needs to bounce back; drawn widest.
6 11th (6) (8/1 -33%) Lipsink	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Lipsink 8/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (4/1) at Windsor (5.1f, good) 11 days ago. Respected. Just 2-28 since arriving from France so may again find one or two too good.

16:10 Epsom Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (2.75/1 +8%) Vegas Jack	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(7) Vegas Jack 2.75/1, Remains a maiden but shaping up well in handicaps this term, possibly making his effort earlier than ideal when third of 16 in handicap at Newbury (1m) 4 weeks ago. That has the makings of strong form and he's very much of interest from the same mark dropped to 7f. Series of good runs in handicaps over further; drop in trip needs to give him a lift.
1 2nd (1) (3/1 -33%) Redredrobin	3 3/1(-33%)	(1) Redredrobin 3/1, Thriving mare who enhanced her excellent recent strike rate when landing second C&D handicap in succession 15 days ago. Well positioned then but the runner-up that day has tasted success subsequently and she can't be dismissed in this groove. Improving at a rate of knots and a 3lb rise for last time seems lenient; obvious claims.
4 3rd (4) (10/1 +0%) Boy Browning	10 10/1(+0%)	(4) Boy Browning 10/1, 6f novice winner at 2 yrs who dispelled a pair of lesser efforts when third of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) in May. Has run poorly twice back on turf since, however. Cheekpieces go on now. Three poor runs (excuses) and one good run this year; headgear tried; risky but capable.
3 4th (3) (5.5/1 -65%) Proud Fairy	5.5 5.5/1(-65%)	(3) Proud Fairy 5.5/1, Lightly raced on turf and she showed improved form to double career tally at Lingfield (7.6f) on penultimate run last month. Kept on for third over 7f back at that venue latest and not out of things with Harry Davies again taking off a valuable 3 lb. Impressive in weaker race at Lingfield last month; ground excuse next time; may do better.
5 5th (5) (2.75/1 +39%) Imperial Dream	2.75 2.75/1(+39%)	(5) Imperial Dream 2.75/1, Wolverhampton maiden winner (7f) in June and twice run well in handicaps of late, doing well to finish fourth despite racing wide throughout back at that venue (6f) 24 days ago. Claims returned to this trip provided he settles again. AW maiden winner (7f) in June; two fair handicap runs over 6f; this trip more suitable.
2 6th (2) (12/1 +33%) Fox Power	12 12/1(+33%)	(2) Fox Power 12/1, All 3 career victories gained on AW, the latest for Mick Appleby in February 2022. Mixed bag upon joining present yard last summer but did shape better than the bare result returning from 10 months off when fifth at Newmarket (1m) in June. Given a chance by the assessor. Cheekpieces back on. Always behind after slow start on return 8 weeks ago; down in trip with headgear returned.

Form	Odds	Runs
13 (13) (1.63/1 +0%) She's Quality	1.63 1.63/1(+0%)	(13) She's Quality 1.63/1, Thrice-raced filly. Second of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good, 10/3) 5 days ago, better placed than most. Sets the bar pretty high. Potential on all three Curragh starts, makes quick reappearance, sets a high standard.
6 1st (6) (16/1 +0%) Gloucester	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Gloucester 16/1, Twice-raced colt. Sixth of 10 in maiden (4/1) at Naas (5f, soft) 23 days ago. Should improve. Disappointed over 6f at the Curragh, better over this trip at Naas but much more needed.
15 2nd (15) (2.5/1 +55%) Vanity Pays	2.5 2.5/1(+55%)	(15) Vanity Pays 2.5/1, Lightly-raced filly. Visored for 1st time, creditable seventh of 20 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, soft, 12/1) 11 days ago. Twice second in early-season maidens, has been taking on winners on her last two starts.
14 3rd (14) (0.67/1 +62%) Sweetest	0.67 0.67/1(+62%)	(14) Sweetest 0.67/1, Foaled March 9. €420,000 yearling, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart 5f-6f winner Archer's Dream and useful 7f winner Hickory. Likely type. E420,000 yearling, half-sister to three winners, dam half-sister to the speedy Profitable.
11 4th (11) (100/1 +0%) Beano Power	100 100/1(+0%)	(11) Beano Power 100/1, Once-raced filly. 100/1, last of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut 5 days ago. Yard in good form. 100-1, dropped away and eased to finish last of 16 on debut at the Curragh last Sunday.
4 5th (4) (100/1 -52%) Dabirsim Flyer	100 100/1(-52%)	(4) Dabirsim Flyer 100/1, Once-raced colt. Ninth of 10 in maiden (150/1) at Naas (5f, soft) on debut 23 days ago. Huge price when in rear first time out at Naas, will need to get a handicap mark.
2 6th (2) (7/1 +56%) Clonmacash	7 7/1(+56%)	(2) Clonmacash 7/1, Thrice-raced colt. 5/2, sixth of 11 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Showed ability at Down Royal on second outing, soft ground may not have suited at Navan..
3 7th (3) (66/1 +0%) Comein Comein	66 66/1(+0%)	(3) Comein Comein 66/1, Once-raced colt. Fifth of 8 in maiden (22/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on debut 14 days ago. Ran green first time out at Wolverhampton and is likely to need more experience.
7 8th (7) (80/1 +20%) Kendall Roy	80 80/1(+20%)	(7) Kendall Roy 80/1, Twice-raced colt. 150/1, seventh of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good) 6 days ago. Soundly beaten in 6f maidens here and at the Curragh, makes no appeal at this stage..
9 9th (9) (50/1 +0%) Sovereign City	50 50/1(+0%)	(9) Sovereign City 50/1, Foaled March 27. €12,000 yearling, Ten Sovereigns gelding. Dam is a half-sister to a Japanese 6f Grade 3 winner and to a 5f Listed scorer Warsaw.
1 10th (1) (8.5/1 +74%) Buddy Batt	8.5 8.5/1(+74%)	(1) Buddy Batt 8.5/1, Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 16 in maiden (22/1) at this course (6f, good) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Some promise in runs at Bellewstown and Cork, more likely a nursery prospect.
5 11th (5) (250/1 -25%) Funny Face	250 250/1(-25%)	(5) Funny Face 250/1, Once-raced colt. 200/1, last of 14 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good) on debut 37 days ago. Dropped away to finish last of 14 first time out at Fairyhouse, can be ruled out.
8 12th (8) (66/1 -65%) Parry	66 66/1(-65%)	(8) Parry 66/1, Twice-raced colt. Last of 15 in maiden (22/1) at the Curragh (6f, good) 6 days ago. Two runs at 6f, Fairyhouse debut was satisfactory, last of 16 at the Curragh.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (2.25/1 +18%) Sailthisshipalone	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(6) Sailthisshipalone 2.25/1, Upped in trip, progressed from debut when third of 11 in minor event (7/1) at York (7f, good) 21 days ago. Respected with further improvement to come. Good 3rd in a York novice last time but not sure to confirm placings with Apiarist (4th).
2 2nd (2) (1.38/1 +27%) Apiarist	1.38 1.38/1(+27%)	(2) Apiarist 1.38/1, Made a promising start when fourth of 11 in minor event at York (7f, good, 10/1) 3 weeks ago, staying on again final 50 yds. Can take a step forward from that first effort to get off the mark. Promising fourth in a York novice on debut; should improve on that; chance.
1 3rd (1) (4/1 -33%) Sonmarg	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Sonmarg 4/1, Showed the benefit of his first experience when winning 10-runner minor event at Windsor (6f, good, 14/1) 20 days ago, edging ahead dying strides. Has to concede weight all round but can give another good account. Windsor winner over 6f last time; step up to 7f should suit; penalised but a chance.
5 4th (5) (5.5/1 +31%) Paborus	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(5) Paborus 5.5/1, Foaled March 12. 28,000 gns yearling, Recoletos gelding. Dam 5f/6f winner. Watch for market clues. 28,000gns yearling; second foal of a 5f/6f winner; interesting debutant; check the market.
7 5th (7) (100/1 -52%) World Without End	100 100/1(-52%)	(7) World Without End 100/1, Showed a bit on debut, but went backwards from that effort when last of 14 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, soft, 66/1) 27 days ago. Needs to leave latest run well behind having been gelded since. Well beaten on both starts; has since been gelded; others stronger.
3 6th (3) (100/1 -150%) Carvalhal	100 100/1(-150%)	(3) Carvalhal 100/1, Held back by inexperience when eleventh of 12 in maiden (16/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 20 days ago, slowly away. May need more time. Well-beaten 11th of 12 in a Newcastle maiden on debut (7f, 16-1); more needed.
8 7th (8) (50/1 -25%) Letmeseethecolts	50 50/1(-25%)	(8) Letmeseethecolts 50/1, Stoutly bred and didn't make much impact on her first start when seventh of 9 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 22/1) 68 days ago. Looks to be one for further down the line. Well-beaten in a Beverley fillies' maiden on her debut and others make more appeal..
9 8th (9) (28/1 -56%) Liz's Kitten	28 28/1(-56%)	(9) Liz's Kitten 28/1, Foaled March 27. Bobby's Kitten filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including winner up to 1¼m Bond's Boy and 2-y-o 5f-6.5f winner Bond's Girl. Dam winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f winner). Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on debut. Bobby's Kitten half-sister to three winners at up to 1m4f; quite interesting on debut..
4 9th (4) (150/1 -355%) King Of Cali	150 150/1(-355%)	(4) King Of Cali 150/1, Foaled April 28. €3,000 yearling, Belardo gelding. Half-brother to 5f-7f winner Sassoferrato and 6f/7f winner Approve The Dream. Dam of little account. Faces a tough task on his first outing. 3,000euros yearling; half-brother to two winners abroad; no easy task on debut..

16:20 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (5/1 -25%) Flying Secret	5 5/1(-25%)	(1) Flying Secret 5/1, Dual winner at this trip so far this campaign, latterly over C&D in June. Good placed efforts on 2 of his 3 starts since, third returned to sprinting at Newmarket (6f) 7 days ago. Drying ground will help returned to this trip. Best form on good/faster; won over C&D in June; creditable third at Newmarket last week.
2 1st (2) (4.5/1 +63%) Zouky	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(2) Zouky 4.5/1, Won 6f maiden/novice events on turf at the end of last summer. Has had excuses in trio of starts in much stronger company so far this term, left poorly placed in ultra-competitive York handicap (6f) in June. Worth a crack at 7f and she's an intriguing contender. Two from two last term; excuses can be made for this year's defeats; drops in class.
5 2nd (5) (3.33/1 +33%) Captain Cuddles	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(5) Captain Cuddles 3.33/1, Landed 6f Salisbury novice last summer and big step forward on opening handicap exploits this spring when third of 9 at Ascot (7f) 21 days ago, handy and keeping on last ½f. One to bear in mind on the back of that. Gelded prior to his encouraging effort at Ascot three weeks ago; possibilities.
4 3rd (4) (5/1 +69%) Garner	5 5/1(+69%)	(4) Garner 5/1, Made a winning return/yard debut at Lingfield (6f) in June, making all in convincing fashion. Struggled in class 2 handicap at York next time and not convinced with his stamina tackling this sort of trip the last twice. Cheekpieces go on now. First-time headgear may help but still has something to prove at 7f.
12 4th (12) (5.5/1 +8%) Be Prepared	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(12) Be Prepared 5.5/1, Confirmed return to form with a dominant display from the front at Epsom (7f) in July and produced another fine effort when runner-up behind a 3-y-o over C&D 22 days ago, headed inside final 1f but keeping on. Well worth considering again. In-form 6yo who went very close over C&D last time; still well treated on peak RPRs.
9 5th (9) (3/1 +50%) Snuggle	3 3/1(+50%)	(9) Snuggle 3/1, Knocking firmly on the door in novice/handicap company prior to justifying cramped odds at Windsor (6f, heavy) in May. Good second in C&D handicap next time and whilst below best since, first-time blinkers could put an extra edge on him here. Runner-up over C&D in early July and can't be dismissed back here; headgear on.
8 6th (8) (20/1 -25%) Peace Of Mine	20 20/1(-25%)	(8) Peace Of Mine 20/1, Resumed progress to make a winning return at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) in April but disappointing on 2 of her 3 starts since, racing freely and dropping away when well beaten in fillies' handicap at Goodwood (1m) 17 days ago. Tongue tie goes on. Again doesn't have the ideal scenario; both wins in small fields.
10 7th (10) (28/1 -27%) Vape	28 28/1(-27%)	(10) Vape 28/1, Sharper for AW return in April when resuming winning ways at Chepstow (6f) a month later. Not in same form on 3 of 4 starts since though, fading out of things when sixth in 7 runner handicap at Windsor (6f) 32 days ago. Has done all his winning over 6f; opposed back at 7f.
7 8th (7) (12/1 +40%) Mindthegap	12 12/1(+40%)	(7) Mindthegap 12/1, Much sharper for debut when landing Chelmsford novice (6f) in November. Not at same level in trio of starts this summer, fifth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (1m, heavy) 16 days ago. Possibly worth another try on AW. Has failed to progress in three starts this year; others preferred.

4 1st (4) (0.57/1 +29%) Salvador Ziggy	0.57 0.57/1(+29%)	(4) Salvador Ziggy 0.57/1, Promising individual. Smart winner at 24f over hurdles. Career best when winning 6-runner novice chase (8/13) at Punchestown (24f, good) on debut over fences 68 days ago. Open to improvement in this sphere. 2nd in the Pertemps and big effort to win on chase debut latest; more to come.
5 2nd (5) (7.5/1 +17%) The Banger Doyle	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(5) The Banger Doyle 7.5/1, Fairly useful chaser. Good fourth of 16 in maiden at Galway (12.2f, good to soft, 9/1) 16 days ago, slowly away. Switches from Flat to chase. Significantly up in trip and each-way chance at best. Career best in beginners' in April but couldn't build on that; fair bit to find.
6 3rd (6) (7/1 +36%) Grozni	7 7/1(+36%)	(6) Grozni 7/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Fairly useful winner at 23f over hurdles. Creditable third of 6 in novice chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft, 11/4) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Shown he's as good over fences in 3 runs so far but fair bit to find to land this.
2 4th (2) (5.5/1 -10%) Fighter Allen	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(2) Fighter Allen 5.5/1, Useful chaser. C&D winner. Seventeenth of 22 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft, 33/1) 16 days ago. Would have a big chance if on-song but clealry needs to get back on track. Ran okay over hurdles in May but struggled in last 5 chase starts; questions to answer.
8 5th (8) (25/1 +0%) Time To Rocco	25 25/1(+0%)	(8) Time To Rocco 25/1, Fairly useful chaser. Three wins from 13 runs last season. Tailed-off last of 7 to Instit in listed chase at Fairyhouse (21.7f, good to soft, 40/1) 132 days ago. Others look stronger. Won on chase debut before finding Listed level too tough; needs to be fully tuned up.
1 \|PU\| (1) (12/1 -85%) Darver Star	12 12/1(-85%)	(1) Darver Star 12/1, Smart hurdler. Ten wins from 36 NH runs. Three wins from 7 runs last season. 7/1, fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.8f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Place possibilities. Bounced back when 2nd at Wexford in March but struggled twice since; not easy to predict.
7 \|PU\| (7) (80/1 -21%) Riggs	80 80/1(-21%)	(7) Riggs 80/1, Fairly useful hurdler. One win from 26 NH runs. Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Eighth of 12 in novice chase (33/1) at Kilbeggan (25f, soft) 35 days ago, going in snatches. Best to look elsewhere. Tailed off in three runs for this yard and this looks tough.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (4/1 -14%) Jack Of Clubs	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Jack Of Clubs 4/1, Dropped in the weights and more like last 2 starts, second of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago, no match for winner. Well drawn to attack so he's on the shortlist.
12 2nd (12) (33/1 -65%) Pink Stripes	33 33/1(-65%)	(12) Pink Stripes 33/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Good fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (66/1) 30 days ago. Others more persuasive given overall profile.
1 3rd (1) (2.5/1 +9%) Autumnal Breeze	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(1) Autumnal Breeze 2.5/1, Suited by the run of the race when doubling career tally in 10-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 3 days ago, suited by way race developed. Back up in trip on tapeta debut and she needs considering.
4 4th (4) (20/1 +20%) Outreach	20 20/1(+20%)	(4) Outreach 20/1, Failed to recover from a sluggish start when tenth of 11 in handicap at Bath (5f, good) 14 days ago. Back up in trip.
10 5th (10) (50/1 -52%) My Kind Of Girl	50 50/1(-52%)	(10) My Kind Of Girl 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (5.1f, 80/1) 24 days ago. Must improve.
8 6th (8) (4.5/1 +75%) Lynwood Lad	4.5 4.5/1(+75%)	(8) Lynwood Lad 4.5/1, Blinkered for first time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 25/1) 23 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with cheekpieces now the headgear of choice.
9 7th (9) (3.5/1 +30%) Havana Heat	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(9) Havana Heat 3.5/1, Prominent in the betting and looked a hard ride when last of 10 in minor event at Brighton (7f, good) 8 days ago. Should be a factor from this lowly mark.
11 8th (11) (11/1 +8%) Ali Jewels	11 11/1(+8%)	(11) Ali Jewels 11/1, 12/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and she's not yet exposed.
2 9th (2) (16/1 -33%) Diamond Dreamer	16 16/1(-33%)	(2) Diamond Dreamer 16/1, Last of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Leicester (6f, soft) 23 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.

4 1st (4) (6.5/1 -18%) Moondial	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(4) Moondial 6.5/1, Better than ever returned to 7f/turf when gained second win at Salisbury in June. Good fourth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 51 days ago and she's likely to remain competitive. 5lb higher than for her Salisbury win in June; still has time to do better; respected.
3 2nd (3) (8.5/1 -21%) Guiteau	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(3) Guiteau 8.5/1, Down in the weights and shaped well when fourth under an attacking ride at Bath last week. Return to 7f in his favour and he figures on a tempting mark. Went off quickly at Bath last week (1m) and still only beaten 3l at the finish.
6 3rd (6) (3.5/1 +42%) Buy The Dip	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(6) Buy The Dip 3.5/1, Cashed in on a drop in grade when opening his account at Lingfield in June. Excuses for subsequent defeats, latterly at this venue so needs treating as though still in form. AW winner in June (1m); not quite so good on turf but has a lower mark to exploit; chance.
2 4th (2) (3/1 +25%) Inverinate	3 3/1(+25%)	(2) Inverinate 3/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in June. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 11/2) 2 days ago. Not taken lightly. 7f AW winner in June; effective over C&D; creditable fourth at Yarmouth on Wednesday.
1 5th (1) (3/1 -36%) Turquoise Diamond	3 3/1(-36%)	(1) Turquoise Diamond 3/1, Continued theme of race-by-race progress when third of 9 under an attacking ride in novice event at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Makes handicap debut and looks ready for 7f. Promise in two 6f novices this summer; makes h'cap debut at a low level; bred to be useful.
7 6th (7) (16/1 +0%) No News	16 16/1(+0%)	(7) No News 16/1, Long-standing maiden who found only one too good at Kempton in May but has followed that with a brace of heavy defeats. Exposed maiden who needs to bounce back from a poor AW run last month.
9 7th (9) (18/1 +28%) Gintini	18 18/1(+28%)	(9) Gintini 18/1, Looked rather limited as a 2 yo but did shape with some promise on return to action over C&D a fortnight ago. Chance he'll build on that. Ran okay over C&D two weeks ago (soft) but more will be needed to break his duck.
8 8th (8) (20/1 +50%) Mayz	20 20/1(+50%)	(8) Mayz 20/1, Qualifying runs for John Spearing in 2022 weren't devoid of promise but low-key start in handicaps for this stable. Just minor promise in her five starts and others have more compelling claims.
5 9th (5) (25/1 -108%) Queens Resolve	25 25/1(-108%)	(5) Queens Resolve 25/1, Pedigree offers plenty of hope but little to get excited about in her qualifying runs. Hood back on. Not living up to her pedigree just yet but there are grounds for expecting better here.

Getting better with each recent run. Clear of the third when runner-up in a Tipperary maiden last week, strong contender.
10 2nd (10) (8.5/1 +23%) Distillate	8.5 8.5/1(+23%)	(10) Distillate 8.5/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft, 11/2) 9 days ago. Enters calculations with a repeat. AW winner, 0-21 record on turf is a negative, one place behind My Girl Sioux at Sligo.
9 3rd (9) (14/1 +30%) Cholita	14 14/1(+30%)	(9) Cholita 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 16 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 40/1) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Ran creditably at a big price when fifth over 6f at this venue on handicap debut.
4 4th (4) (6/1 -33%) Not Too Real Bad	6 6/1(-33%)	(4) Not Too Real Bad 6/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in May. 9/1, creditable fourth of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good) 44 days ago. Must enter calculations. C&D winner in May, not beaten far on her last two outings, now below 1lb last winning mark.
6 5th (6) (7.5/1 +46%) Rathbranchurch	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(6) Rathbranchurch 7.5/1, Eleventh of 16 in handicap (16/1) at Galway (7f, soft) 13 days ago, worst of draw. Back down in trip. Not dismissed. Has been placed at up to 7f but was soundly beaten in two Galway runs over that trip.
8 6th (8) (9/1 -6%) Spirit Of Eagles	9 9/1(-6%)	(8) Spirit Of Eagles 9/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Down Royal (5f, good to soft, 7/1) 21 days ago, comfortably. Hit with 7 lb rise but remains of interest. Stepped from third to So Majestic at Down Royal to win at the same venue; up 7lb.
13 7th (13) (66/1 -32%) Allie Bear	66 66/1(-32%)	(13) Allie Bear 66/1, Down the field in maidens/handicaps. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Needs to improve in first-time cheekpieces, 2lb out of the handicap, hard to fancy.
7 8th (7) (11/1 -57%) American In Paris	11 11/1(-57%)	(7) American In Paris 11/1, Career best when winning 15-runner handicap at this course (6f, good, 14/1) 21 days ago, pushed out. Should remain competitive back down in trip. Narrow course winner over 6f three weeks ago, might just find this trip too short.
12 9th (12) (11/1 -47%) My Girl Sioux	11 11/1(-47%)	(12) My Girl Sioux 11/1, Good third of 11 in handicap (9/2) at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft) 9 days ago, slowly away. Likely to give another good account. Finished in front of Distillate when third at Sligo and could challenge for a place again.
2 10th (2) (12/1 +25%) So Majestic	12 12/1(+25%)	(2) So Majestic 12/1, Impressed when landing back-to-back handicaps in June but has run below form the last twice. Needs to bounce back. Two wins in quick succession during June, aggregate 19lb rise has proved too much.
5 11th (5) (18/1 +0%) Sam's Xpress	18 18/1(+0%)	(5) Sam's Xpress 18/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in March but well below form over C&D last time. Dual AW winner (5f/6f) in the spring, well below his best on his last two runs on turf.
11 12th (11) (7.5/1 +17%) Senado Square	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(11) Senado Square 7.5/1, Winner at Naas in March and wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 10 in handicap (5/2) at Sligo (5.8f, good to soft) in May, still of the pace 2f out. Not seen since but has run well off a similar absence before, so enters the reckoning. Was a bit high in the ratings after Naas win in March, dropping down the handicap now.
3 13th (3) (16/1 -45%) Maggie Mcgrath	16 16/1(-45%)	(3) Maggie Mcgrath 16/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in maiden at Tipperary (5f, soft, 9/2) 7 days ago. Hard to fancy on the back of that. Maiden who ran one of her best races when second over C&D at two, not progressive.

Could improve markedly from that first outing, so he looks the one to beat. Fifth of seven when 9-4 for a 6f York maiden on debut; should do better; a possible.
2 2nd (2) (5.5/1 +35%) Foreign Exchange	5.5 5.5/1(+35%)	(2) Foreign Exchange 5.5/1, Bred to be sharp but seventh of 8 in minor event at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) on debut 64 days ago. However, no surprise to see him fare better, especially if the market speaks in his favour. Oasis Dream colt who was beaten 15l on Nottingham debut and improvement needed.
4 3rd (4) (8.5/1 +66%) Quintus Maximus	8.5 8.5/1(+66%)	(4) Quintus Maximus 8.5/1, Fared no better than on his first start when eighth of 11 in minor event at York (7f, good, 16/1) 3 weeks ago. Much more required if he's to get competitive. Well beaten over 7f at Haydock (good to firm) and York (good to soft); improvement needed.
8 4th (8) (12/1 +64%) Happy Helen	12 12/1(+64%)	(8) Happy Helen 12/1, Bred for longer trips and has finished well held both starts so far, seventh of 12 in minor event (66/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 3 weeks ago. 37,000gns yearling by Golden Horn; not shown much so far and looks one for handicaps.
3 5th (3) (9/1 +25%) Odette's Beau	9 9/1(+25%)	(3) Odette's Beau 9/1, Made some appeal on paper but shaped as if needing the experience when eleventh of 12 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, good, 15/2) on debut 28 days ago. Entitled to progress. 48,000gns yearling; beaten 12l when 11th of 12 on debut at Pontefract; 7f will suit.
1 6th (1) (3.33/1 -104%) Deimos	3.33 3.33/1(-104%)	(1) Deimos 3.33/1, Foaled March 30. 230,000 gns foal, 180,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder colt. Brother to useful winner up to 5.5f Lady Penelope and half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Manettino. Dam unraced. Noteworthy newcomer. Colt by Night Of Thunder; cost 180,000gns as a yearling; interesting newcomer.
6 7th (6) (150/1 -275%) Supreme Tenacity	150 150/1(-275%)	(6) Supreme Tenacity 150/1, Always behind when last of 9 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good to soft, 12/1) on debut 88 days ago. Has been gelded and had wind op since, with tongue strap also now reached for. Gelded and had a wind op since poor debut run in May; others stronger..
9 8th (9) (25/1 -56%) Rosie Sophia	25 25/1(-56%)	(9) Rosie Sophia 25/1, Foaled April 15. Oasis Dream filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Eminent Hipster. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Tell. Newcomer by Oasis Dream; half-sister to two winners; likely to improve for the experience.

16:55 Newbury Handicap (Class 5) 10f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (2.12/1 +39%) Al Hargah	2.12 2.12/1(+39%)	(9) Al Hargah 2.12/1, Much improved when getting off the mark at Leicester (8.2f) in July and has been holding her form well since, needing a stronger gallop when runner-up at Windsor (10f) 5 days ago. Major player. Running well in blinkers; beaten a neck at Windsor on Monday; major player off same mark.
4 2nd (4) (6/1 +33%) Meleri	6 6/1(+33%)	(4) Meleri 6/1, Sole success came in handicap at Newmarket (10f) last June and, following a low key reappearance, returned to form when fourth in the corresponding race at Newmarket this year. Can give her running again. Fourth of ten at Newmarket (race she won last year) on latest start was respectable.
10 3rd (10) (2.75/1 +66%) Imperial Cult	2.75 2.75/1(+66%)	(10) Imperial Cult 2.75/1, Has been in good heart in 3 starts since joining his current yard, running creditably when third at this course (12f) 22 days ago. Remains a maiden, though, so needs to find more as he drops back down in trip. Seven-race maiden; best form on AW but respectable third here (1m4f, soft) on latest start.
6 4th (6) (25/1 -56%) Benjamin Bear	25 25/1(-56%)	(6) Benjamin Bear 25/1, Ran to a fair level when opening his account at Leicester (10f) in June. However, form has gone the wrong way since, including over hurdles on his last 2 starts (bled when pulled up in February). Has something to prove at present. Off since February (pulled up; reportedly bled) and needs to resume in peak form.
3 5th (3) (7/1 -56%) Carp Kid	7 7/1(-56%)	(3) Carp Kid 7/1, Back down in trip, capitalised on a career-low mark when scoring at Windsor (10f) in July and followed up with a ready success at Chepstow later in the month. Respected in his current form. 1m2f wins at Windsor and Chepstow (in tidy style) on last two outings, so he's on a roll.
11 6th (11) (5.5/1 +0%) Mrembo	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(11) Mrembo 5.5/1, Resumed winning ways at the course (11f) in June and has continued in good form since, no extra in the dying strides when third of 14 at Sandown (10f) 23 days ago. Can give another good account. Ridden by Olivia Tubb last three starts, 1m3f here on first occasion; close 3rd on latest.
8 7th (8) (11/1 +21%) Moonfleet Moment	11 11/1(+21%)	(8) Moonfleet Moment 11/1, After 5 months off (gelded), showed more than previously when sixth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in April, though never a threat. Further improvement required as he goes up in trip for his handicap debut. Some late progress from rear in April last time; up 3f for this handicap and turf debut.

5 1st (5) (1.38/1 +0%) C'est Quelqu'un	1.38 1.38/1(+0%)	(5) C'est Quelqu'un 1.38/1, Latest win in chase at Leicester in February. Creditable second of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (22f, soft, 10/11) 22 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. The one to beat. Two seconds of late; lacks a gear and 1-11 chasing (three falls) but again hard to oppose.
13 2nd (13) (25/1 -25%) General Ryan	25 25/1(-25%)	(13) General Ryan 25/1, Unseated rider in handicap chase (20/1) at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 45 days ago. Others preferred. Far from disgraced, Downpatrick in May; seemed to be going OK both runs since (unseating).
1 3rd (1) (18/1 +28%) Chelseas Friend	18 18/1(+28%)	(1) Chelseas Friend 18/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Kilbeggan (24.4f, soft) 35 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Obvious chance on seconds on nice ground in February; poor since, including chasing.
11 4th (11) (10/1 +29%) Shantou Sisu	10 10/1(+29%)	(11) Shantou Sisu 10/1, 8/1, ninth of 15 in handicap chase at Killarney (23f, good) 28 days ago. Each-way chance. Veteran in and out, poor behind Elegant Dan here in June, though course winner in the past.
18 5th (18) (16/1 -100%) Father Jed	16 16/1(-100%)	(18) Father Jed 16/1, Won 13-runner handicap hurdle (20/1) at Ballinrobe (21.6f, good) 24 days ago, running on. Switches from hurdles to chase. RESERVE. Second reserve; won hurdling from out of the blue at Ballinrobe; no idea what to expect.
8 6th (8) (16/1 +36%) Pepperocco	16 16/1(+36%)	(8) Pepperocco 16/1, 20/1, below form eighth of 16 in handicap chase at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 45 days ago. Stable form the main positive; she has shown little ability but a great deal more required.
3 7th (3) (12/1 +14%) Sean Says	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) Sean Says 12/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 80/1, twelfth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (14.1f, good) 30 days ago. Switches from Flat to chase. Mixing it between chasing and Flat; running quite well without crying out for a bet here.
9 \|F\| (9) (10/1 +44%) Shean Glory	10 10/1(+44%)	(9) Shean Glory 10/1, 25/1, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) 5 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Mare 2-34, 0-2 chasing; worth recalling C&D visit was encouraging; not entirely ruled out.
6 \|U\| (6) (7.5/1 -15%) Rule Of June	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(6) Rule Of June 7.5/1, C&D winner. One win from 22 NH runs. Saddle slipped when pulled up in handicap chase (6/1) at Wexford (25.3f, good to soft) 59 days ago, pulled up before 3 out. Can make presence felt. Met an improver at Clonmel; saddle reportedly slipped latest; rider making fine impression.
4 \|PU\| (4) (12/1 +14%) Elegant Dan	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Elegant Dan 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win in chase here in June. Fell in handicap chase at Tipperary (19.5f, soft, 12/1) 45 days ago. C&D winner here in June (three of these well held); that was weak race and vulnerable now.
2 \|PU\| (2) (16/1 +0%) Ciankyle	16 16/1(+0%)	(2) Ciankyle 16/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Creditable seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Killarney (20f, good) 29 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Veteran unable to build on Ballinrobe second in May hurdling, not disgraced at 22s latest.
15 \|PU\| (15) (18/1 +55%) Tiantu	18 18/1(+55%)	(15) Tiantu 18/1, Course winner. Pulled up in handicap chase (18/1) at this course (21.2f, good) 76 days ago (race won by Elegant Dan), beaten when mistake tenth. Local runner seemed to regress recent years; C&D winner nowhere near that form this year.
12 \|PU\| (12) (20/1 +39%) Deux Par Deux	20 20/1(+39%)	(12) Deux Par Deux 20/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. Eighth of 16 in handicap chase (25/1) at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 45 days ago. Nearly impossible to fancy hold-up 9yo.
10 \|PU\| (10) (33/1 +18%) Gold Creek	33 33/1(+18%)	(10) Gold Creek 33/1, One win from 44 NH runs. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft, 25/1) 11 days ago, folding 5 out. Switches from hurdles to chase. Blinkers on 1st time and tongue strap back on. Nothing to take from this year's succession of letters in form; tongue tie and blinkers.
14 \|PU\| (14) (40/1 +20%) The Inbetween	40 40/1(+20%)	(14) The Inbetween 40/1, 40/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.8f, good to soft) 59 days ago. Lightly raced recent years; nothing positive to report.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (3.33/1 +56%) Watcha Matey	3.33 3.33/1(+56%)	(6) Watcha Matey 3.33/1, Has made the frame on all 5 starts so far, 2 lengths third of 7 in nursery at Haydock (7f, heavy) 12 days ago. Should be in the mix once more. Has reached the frame in all five starts and he has each-way claims back in a novice.
9 2nd (9) (1/1 -20%) North View	1 1/1(-20%)	(9) North View 1/1, 9,500 gns yearling, Expert Eye colt. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Fallen For You. Cheap purchase but holds a Champagne Stakes entry and showed plenty when third of 11 in maiden at Ascot (6f, good to soft, 10/1) on debut 20 days ago. Will stay and sets a good standard. Sets a good standard on his debut third at Ascot and he's open to progress upped in trip.
3 3rd (3) (6.5/1 +35%) Centurion Dream	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(3) Centurion Dream 6.5/1, £50,000 2-y-o, Kodiac colt. Brother to 1m winner Barud and half-brother to several winners, including useful 7f winner Dutch Treat. 4½ lengths fourth of 14 to Flag of St George in novice (16/1) at Newmarket (4 lb better off with winner) on debut. Off 92 days. Should have more to offer. Held behind Flag Of St George here on debut in May; needs major improvement on his return.
2 4th (2) (9/1 +10%) Berkshire Nugget	9 9/1(+10%)	(2) Berkshire Nugget 9/1, Foaled March 20. 62,000 gns yearling, Expert Eye colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 1¼m), half-sister to US Grade 3 7f winner Caramel Swirl. One to note on debut. Well-bred colt and he needs checking in market on debut.
10 5th (10) (50/1 +0%) Asian Tide	50 50/1(+0%)	(10) Asian Tide 50/1, 55,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold filly. Half-sister to several useful winners in US by Kitten's Joy, including Grade 3 8.5f Granny's Kitten and US Grade 1 9f winner Kitten's Dumplings. Dam US 1m/8.5f winner. 33/1, tenth of 14 in novice at this course (6f, good) on debut 21 days ago. Ran green and was always in rear in a 6f novice here (33-1) last month; opposable.
4 6th (4) (25/1 -14%) Cuban Harry	25 25/1(-14%)	(4) Cuban Harry 25/1, Foaled January 22. 45,000 gns yearling, 20,000 gns 2-y-o, Havana Grey colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m-9.5f winner Twistaline and 6f winner Tipofthetongue. Dam 2-y-o 5.3f winner. 20,000gns half-brother to three winners but this looks a tough starting point.
1 7th (1) (6.5/1 -63%) Flag Of St George	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(1) Flag Of St George 6.5/1, Opened account at Newmarket in May and improved on that form when second of 6 in nursery at Windsor (6f, good, 10/3). Excuses either side of that and should go well. Looks interesting on his best form but he has a mixed record; risks attached at new trip.
7 8th (7) (40/1 -60%) Havana Sky	40 40/1(-60%)	(7) Havana Sky 40/1, 12,000 gns foal, 16,000 gns yearling, Havana Gold colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m Data Protection and winner abroad by Acclamation. 33/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 20 days ago, slowly away. May well do better. Well held at Newcastle on recent debut and he's probably one for further down the line.
8 9th (8) (200/1 -203%) Havana Touch	200 200/1(-203%)	(8) Havana Touch 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 6 in maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) 10 days ago. Has struggled at 40-1 in his two AW runs (6f/1m); can only be watched.

4 (4) (66/1 -164%) Hodd's Girl	66 66/1(-164%)	(4) Hodd's Girl 66/1, Useful mare. Below form 6½ lengths sixth of 10 to Clounmacon in listed race (20/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 23 days ago. Hard to fancy. Made her name as a six-time Dundalk winner, probably vulnerable on turf in this grade.
6 1st (6) (20/1 +33%) Clever And Cool	20 20/1(+33%)	(6) Clever And Cool 20/1, Fairly useful filly. Course winner. Latest win at Naas in July. 25/1, 7¼ lengths eleventh of 14 to Unless in listed race at the Curragh (10f, good) 5 days ago, not ideally placed. Back down in trip. Below best over 1m2f last Sunday, effective at this trip but needs career-best to feature.
9 2nd (9) (0.62/1 +23%) Tarawa	0.62 0.62/1(+23%)	(9) Tarawa 0.62/1, Useful filly. 3/1, good length third of 10 to Zarinsk in Minstrel Stakes at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Stable in good form. Visor on 1st time. Obvious claims. Irish 1,000 fourth, close-up third in a 7f Group 3 last time, sets the standard, visored.
1 3rd (1) (7/1 -27%) Cosmic Vega	7 7/1(-27%)	(1) Cosmic Vega 7/1, Useful gelding. Latest win at Naas in May. Creditable 3 lengths fifth of 10 to Zarinsk in Minstrel Stakes (20/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Holding form well. Has maintained last season's progress, 2l off Tarawa when fifth in a Group 2 on latest.
5 4th (5) (50/1 -100%) Honey Sweet	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) Honey Sweet 50/1, Useful filly. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 10/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, 9¼ lengths ninth of 10 to Miramis in listed race at Galway (7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Listed winner at two for Karl Burke, fair debut for this yard at Naas, moderate Galway run.
3 5th (3) (16/1 +0%) Bells On Her Toes	16 16/1(+0%)	(3) Bells On Her Toes 16/1, Fairly useful filly. 7/2, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Galway (7f, soft) 17 days ago, comfortably. This is a big leap up but she's thriving and is dangerous to dismiss. Improving handicapper who has prospered on soft ground, faces tough task at this level.
2 6th (2) (10/1 -18%) Carrytheone	10 10/1(-18%)	(2) Carrytheone 10/1, Useful gelding. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 10/11, respectable second of 7 at Naas (7f, soft) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Bit more needed. Running well in defeat this season, looks held by Tarawa on the basis of 1m Curragh clash.
7 7th (7) (4/1 +38%) Mauiewowie	4 4/1(+38%)	(7) Mauiewowie 4/1, Useful filly. Good fourth of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to firm, 9/1) 47 days ago. Holding form and likely sort on these terms. Listed winner at 5f at two, worth another shot at this trip after Curragh handicap fourth.

Shaped with a little encouragement when sixth of 12 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, good, 22/1) on debut 28 days ago, weakening gradually but not unduly punished. Open to improvement. 22-1, weakened into sixth of 12 at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) but should improve.
2 2nd (2) (5.5/1 -10%) Apocalyx	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(2) Apocalyx 5.5/1, Foaled January 21. Calyx colt. Half-brother to 9.5f winner Point of Fact. Dam French 2-y-o 1m winner out of Prix de Diane winner Nebraska Tornado. Yard boasting a 19% strike rate with their juveniles on turf so far this term and he's a newcomer to note. Classy pedigree and this newcomer from major yard needs a close look.
9 3rd (9) (2.25/1 +0%) Pen Portrait	2.25 2.25/1(+0%)	(9) Pen Portrait 2.25/1, Foaled February 27. Night of Thunder colt. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Rio de La Plata. One to note on debut. Night Of Thunder colt who looks bred for further but he needs a close look at this level.

Sure to progress and one to consider. 33-1, first of six in his group at Doncaster (7f, soft) and fourth of 12 overall; promise.
7 5th (7) (28/1 -40%) Inspiring Speeches	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) Inspiring Speeches 28/1, Foaled March 7. €47,000 yearling, Churchill colt. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 1m.

3 6th (3) (5/1 +50%) Arantes Nascimento	5 5/1(+50%)	(3) Arantes Nascimento 5/1, Foaled March 7. Charm Spirit colt. Half-brother to winner up to 7f Burning Emotion. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner Sea of Flames. Wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to figure on debut and he's one to note for good yard. Charm Spirit colt; probably one for later on but needs a market check.
4 7th (4) (100/1 -52%) Chillout Charlie	100 100/1(-52%)	(4) Chillout Charlie 100/1, Once-raced gelding. Offered little when eighth of 9 in minor event at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 40/1) on debut 10 days ago. 40-1, reared at the start when always behind at Ripon (6f, soft) ten days ago.

Bred to be speedy and yard can ready a newcomer. 21,000euros foal, 42,000euros yearling; trainer's 2yos are making their mark this term.
12 10th (12) (100/1 -100%) Sheila Tequila	100 100/1(-100%)	(12) Sheila Tequila 100/1, Twice-raced filly. Hooded for 1st time, eighth of 9 in minor event (20/1) at Newcastle (6f) 15 days ago, effort 2f out and weakening final 1f. Low-grade nurseries more her bag moving forward.

13 13th (13) (200/1 -300%) Tees Comet	200 200/1(-300%)	(13) Tees Comet 200/1, Twice-raced filly. Showed a bit more than on debut without threatening when fifth of 6 in maiden (28/1) at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 36 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Both runs were over 7f; 6f could help but needs to in a major way.
6 14th (6) (200/1 -506%) Haildor	200 200/1(-506%)	(6) Haildor 200/1, Foaled May 6. Belardo gelding. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Likely best watched on debut. Third foal; dam 5f 2yo winner (RPR 87); late foal and a rare 2yo for the yard.

17:33 Tramore Maiden Hurdle 16f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (0.67/1 +16%) Doctor Brown Bear	0.67 0.67/1(+16%)	(2) Doctor Brown Bear 0.67/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 50/1, creditable 14¼ lengths sixth of 10 to Rock My Way in Classic Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Back down in trip. Difficult to oppose. Juvenile form was decent; obtained ample experience, if somewhat frustrating; should win.
12 2nd (12) (16/1 -220%) Lucky Storm	16 16/1(-220%)	(12) Lucky Storm 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fell in novice hurdle (80/1) at Cork (17f, good to soft) 11 days ago (almost certainly would have finished in frame had she completed). Should progress. 125s, tailed off on debut; 80s, seemed to be running better only to fall at Cork; risky.
9 3rd (9) (14/1 -40%) Tullybawn	14 14/1(-40%)	(9) Tullybawn 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 15/2, first run since leaving Patrick Martin when fifteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (19.8f, good to soft) 10 days ago, possibly amiss. Each-way chance if he puts his best foot forward. 50s second at Downpatrick gives him a chance, third won since; ran shocker on stable debut.
7 4th (7) (125/1 -89%) The Empty Kettel	125 125/1(-89%)	(7) The Empty Kettel 125/1, Snow Sky gelding. Half-brother to fair chaser Dee Star, stays 4m. Dam maiden pointer. Pulled up sole start between the flags. Pulled up in a point on heavy; quite a nice pedigree; new yard 3-107 last five seasons.
1 5th (1) (125/1 +0%) Delta Melody	125 125/1(+0%)	(1) Delta Melody 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Killarney (20f, good) on NH debut 29 days ago. Modest in points; 50s, ran accordingly at Killarney.
4 6th (4) (40/1 +68%) Inchidaly Robin	40 40/1(+68%)	(4) Inchidaly Robin 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 14 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good) 4 days ago. Refused to race, Limerick; Ballinrobe effort Monday was thus at least somewhat reassuring.
13 7th (13) (125/1 -150%) Missus Beeton	125 125/1(-150%)	(13) Missus Beeton 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in bumper (125/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Modest in bumpers, huge odds.
14 8th (14) (80/1 -21%) Onefortheditch	80 80/1(-21%)	(14) Onefortheditch 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1, eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Nothing in eighth in maiden hurdles at huge odds lately.
10 9th (10) (28/1 +65%) Knockaneleigh Girl	28 28/1(+65%)	(10) Knockaneleigh Girl 28/1, Twice-raced maiden under Rules. 66/1, first run since leaving Ruaidhri Tierney when seventh of 11 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, soft) on hurdles bow 7 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Promise in points, none as yet under Rules (66s on hurdling debut); tongue tie.
3 \|F\| (3) (1.5/1 +33%) Fermoyle	1.5 1.5/1(+33%)	(3) Fermoyle 1.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 14 in maiden (11/4) at Killarney (14.1f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. 2/17 on last hurdle run. Flat-bred but stayed in bumpers; tame in Flat maiden latest but in fine form previously.
8 10th (8) (50/1 -25%) The Flying Donkey	50 50/1(-25%)	(8) The Flying Donkey 50/1, Hillstar gelding. Dam bumper winner (stayed 23f). Worth a second look in the betting. Went unsold for Eur3,500 as yearling; dam bumper winner, half-sister to winners.
6 11th (6) (150/1 -127%) Picinisco	150 150/1(-127%)	(6) Picinisco 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden underRules. Eleventh of 12 in bumper (200/1) at Kilbeggan (15.1f, good to soft) 120 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Nothing so far.
11 12th (11) (125/1 +0%) Ladybela	125 125/1(+0%)	(11) Ladybela 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1 and hooded for 1st time, thirteenth of 17 in bumper at Tipperary (16f, good). Off 10 months. Makes hurdles debut. Quiet both bumpers, though at least latest a bit better (125s) when last seen.
5 \|PU\| (5) (80/1 +36%) Kool Kal	80 80/1(+36%)	(5) Kool Kal 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.8f, heavy, 150/1). Off 19 months. Well-held all starts; huge layoff.

17:45 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (7.5/1 -67%) Swiss Star	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(7) Swiss Star 7.5/1, Won 6f Doncaster novice last month. Strong in the betting on handicap debut over C&D next time but unable to find improvement as she chased home Porfin and Epic Express. Retains potential for top yard. Still unexposed but was behind two of today's rivals over C&D latest; needs more progress.
10 2nd (10) (4.5/1 +63%) Special Mayson	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(10) Special Mayson 4.5/1, Looked back in form when third at Leicester (7f) 7 weeks ago, the race not being run to suit him like it was others. Return to 6f will suit and one to note off last winning mark. On last winning mark but he needs to rediscover his spark after a short break.
9 3rd (9) (33/1 -230%) Ray Vonn	33 33/1(-230%)	(9) Ray Vonn 33/1, Matched previous best on stable debut when second in 9-runner Wolverhampton maiden (7f) in April. No excuses when third behind subsequent Royal Ascot winner Docklands at Kempton later that month but had wind op since and switches to handicaps back on grass/down in trip now. 0-7 and has some quirks but he looks interesting dropped to 6f on handicap debut.
5 4th (5) (2.75/1 +8%) De Bruyne	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(5) De Bruyne 2.75/1, Won 6f Newcastle novice last winter and good efforts in turf handicaps the last twice, not seen to best effect in messy Salisbury race latest. One to consider under Buick. Has reached the frame in last two handicaps but he's now 1-7 and others look stronger.
8 5th (8) (50/1 -52%) Dors Toyboy	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) Dors Toyboy 50/1, Did well on AW last year, winning three 7f handicaps. Might have needed the run behind Porfin back from 8 months off here a fortnight ago and probably best watched this time too. Has had just two runs on turf including a seventh behind Porfin over C&D two weeks ago.
4 6th (4) (20/1 -100%) Epic Express	20 20/1(-100%)	(4) Epic Express 20/1, Won 6f handicap on the other course here in May and back to form when second to Porfin over C&D a fortnight ago, keeping on behind the all-the-way winner. Needs a bit more. Finished well to go close behind Porfin over C&D last time; respected off 1lb higher.
1 7th (1) (9/1 +36%) Cashew	9 9/1(+36%)	(1) Cashew 9/1, Attracted some support at long odds and wasted no time getting back to form on her second start after a slight break, splitting a pair of 3-y-os at Lingfield. Same mark and one to consider. 0-20 since her last win but she went close off this mark at Lingfield last time; respected.
3 8th (3) (16/1 +20%) Boafo Boy	16 16/1(+20%)	(3) Boafo Boy 16/1, Dual winner over 6f/7f, often slowly away. Sold from Jamie Osborne 8,000 gns in July and interesting off career-low mark for new yard. Changed hands for 8,000gns and has something to prove back at 6f for new yard.
12 9th (12) (33/1 -136%) Revolucion	33 33/1(-136%)	(12) Revolucion 33/1, With cheekpieces reapplied, ran well back down in trip/on all-weather after 8 weeks off when third at Chelmsford (6f) 24 days ago. Has races in him, although they might be away from turf. 0-10 and his turf form lags behind his best AW efforts; down the list.
2 10th (2) (9/1 +25%) Alcazan	9 9/1(+25%)	(2) Alcazan 9/1, Scored at Goodwood (off 2 lb lower) in September and shaped as if better for the run after 6 months off at Windsor, taking a keen hold. Down in class now. May have needed the run at Windsor last month and has claims if she can get back near best.
11 11th (11) (7/1 -17%) Porfin	7 7/1(-17%)	(11) Porfin 7/1, In good form again under this rider, winning C&D handicap from Epic Express before finding only a progressive 3-y-o too strong under a penalty. 3 lb lower and another bold bid likely. Good second under a penalty at Yarmouth (7f) and he's 3lb lower here; big player.
6 12th (6) (8/1 +11%) Aira Force	8 8/1(+11%)	(6) Aira Force 8/1, Steady improver as a 2-y-o, opening her account at Leicester (6f) in October. Fair run in 3-y-o C&D fillies' handicap 8 weeks ago that worked out nicely and she's a player now taking on the older horses in a first-time tongue tie. Has solid record but she needs to find more to get back on scoresheet; tongue-tie added.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (4.5/1 +59%) Term Of Endearment	4.5 4.5/1(+59%)	(4) Term Of Endearment 4.5/1, Useful filly. Creditable ¾-length second of 11 to Layfayette in listed race (7/2) at Limerick (12.5f, good) 56 days ago. That form puts her in the mix. Placed in three of her five runs in stakes races including last time, gets this trip well.
8 2nd (8) (3.33/1 +5%) Library	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(8) Library 3.33/1, Smart filly. Latest win at Naas in June. 80/1, excellent 2¼ lengths third of 8 to Savethelastdance in Irish Oaks at the Curragh (12f, soft) 27 days ago. Leading claims dropped markedly in class. Failed to do herself justice in 1m6f race won by Shamida, Irish Oaks third is strong form.
2 3rd (2) (16/1 -14%) Dancing Tango	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Dancing Tango 16/1, Useful filly. Latest win at Fairyhouse in June. Good neck second of 14 to Derida in listed race (16/1) at Clairefontaine (11.9f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Needs to improve again. Produced career-best when going close in a 1m4f Listed race in France last month.
3 4th (3) (4.5/1 +36%) Final Gesture	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(3) Final Gesture 4.5/1, Useful filly. 3/1, 11½ lengths sixth of 8 to Rosscarbery in Munster Oaks at this C&D (good to soft) 63 days ago, finding little. In the right hands to bounce back and cheekpieces now on. Fine start in Ireland with 1m6f Listed win, disappointing over C&D in June, cheekpieces on.
6 5th (6) (1.38/1 +39%) Boogie Woogie	1.38 1.38/1(+39%)	(6) Boogie Woogie 1.38/1, Useful filly. 16/10, good 1½ lengths second of 7 to Ottery in Prix de Royaumont at Chantilly (11.9f, good to firm) 75 days ago. Boasts high-class form in France and has a similar chance to stablemate Library in theory.
1 6th (1) (25/1 +0%) Angels Wrath	25 25/1(+0%)	(1) Angels Wrath 25/1, Useful filly. 14/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, 13¾ lengths seventh of 11 to Jackie Oh in Gr 3 at Gowran (9f, soft) 20 days ago, slowly away. Significantly back up in trip and this isn't an easy race to bounce back in. Twice runner-up in Listed races, needs to find more in order to feature at this level.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (8/1 -33%) Jungle Jim	8 8/1(-33%)	(4) Jungle Jim 8/1, Promising sort. Second of 11 in maiden at this course (5f, heavy, 9/1) 13 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Further progress on the cards. Second of 11 in maiden here (5f, soft; made most) on second start; now tongue tied.
7 1st (7) (11/1 +21%) Nezeeh	11 11/1(+21%)	(7) Nezeeh 11/1, Foaled February 19. Profitable colt. Dam 5f winner who stayed 7f. Bred to have plenty of speed, so he's a notable newcomer. Not the most striking pedigree to carry these colours but he needs a market check.
8 2nd (8) (3.33/1 +5%) Only In Jakarta	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(8) Only In Jakarta 3.33/1, Promising individual. 9/2, second of 12 in minor event at this C&D (good to soft) 21 days ago, finishing well. More to come and should make his presence felt again. 310,000gns buy; close 2nd in C&D novice (soft) latest, finishing well once in the clear.
13 3rd (13) (2.25/1 +25%) Rawaasi	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(13) Rawaasi 2.25/1, Twice-raced filly. 5/2, second of 5 in minor event at Ascot (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Could take another step forward, so merits plenty of respect. Close over 6f at Kempton (AW) and Ascot (good to soft); clearly sets the form standard.
3 4th (3) (12/1 +14%) Firing Squad	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) Firing Squad 12/1, Foaled April 9. €68,000 foal, 210,000 gns yearling, Mehmas colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 6f/7f winner Coronation Day and winner up to 7f Kamchatka. Dam sprint maiden. One to consider. 210,000gns yearling; one to note for powerful connections.

Open to improvement and is very much one to be interested in. 6-1, beaten a nose by a fast finisher in nine-runner novice at Newcastle (6f, AW) on debut.
14 7th (14) (200/1 -203%) Sassy Glory	200 200/1(-203%)	(14) Sassy Glory 200/1, Once-raced filly. 25/1, last of 8 in minor event at York (6f, good to firm) on debut 35 days ago, missing break. Hard to fancy. 25-1, 15l last of eight in novice at York (6f, good) five weeks ago, slowly away.
2 8th (2) (18/1 -64%) Eco Power Boy	18 18/1(-64%)	(2) Eco Power Boy 18/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 20/1, fifth of 10 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 41 days ago. More required. Looks capable of better after two starts but others have accomplished more.
1 9th (1) (20/1 -43%) Brummell	20 20/1(-43%)	(1) Brummell 20/1, Foaled May 8. £70,000 2-y-o, Dandy Man colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 6f Shepherds Way and 2-y-o 5f winner Dragon Glory. Late foal but £70,000 2yo; plenty to like on pedigree but he's in what looks a strong race.
11 10th (11) (150/1 -127%) Glory Hyde	150 150/1(-127%)	(11) Glory Hyde 150/1, Foaled May 10. €24,000 yearling, Cotai Glory filly. Dam, ran once at 2 yrs, half-sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Carnachy out of useful 2-y-o 6f-7f winner Market Day.

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (10/1 +44%) Inchiquin Star	10 10/1(+44%)	(8) Inchiquin Star 10/1, Creditable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft, 14/1) 39 days ago. Rider takes off handy 5 lb and she could yet have more to offer in handicaps. Not sure what happened at Listowel as handicap runs either side were encouraging.
2 2nd (2) (5/1 +44%) First Dare	5 5/1(+44%)	(2) First Dare 5/1, C&D winner. Bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) 61 days ago, plugging on. Drops back in trip now. C&D winner; mare is not far off; five of rider's last six rides finished in the money..
6 3rd (6) (3.5/1 +56%) Costanuci	3.5 3.5/1(+56%)	(6) Costanuci 3.5/1, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Cork (20f, good to soft) 35 days ago, keeping on. Clearly in good heart but marked drop back in trip may not be ideal. Backed up course win with fine fourth at Cork; might be vulnerable to faster sorts at 2m.
11 4th (11) (8.5/1 +15%) Serpolette	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(11) Serpolette 8.5/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20f, good, 12/1) 41 days ago. Encouraging her only visit here resulted in 22s win; can neither fancy nor discount.
10 5th (10) (4.5/1 +47%) Mater Matuta	4.5 4.5/1(+47%)	(10) Mater Matuta 4.5/1, 8/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.1f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Has often gone well at this venue and worth considering back over hurdles. Admirably consistent; mixed it up this year, second here chasing before two good Flat runs.
16 6th (16) (33/1 +18%) O'faolains Glory	33 33/1(+18%)	(16) O'faolains Glory 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 28 days ago, always behind. Needs to show more before becoming of interest. Local yard likely to target this festival and by top jumps sire; as such, may improve.
1 7th (1) (3/1 +25%) Betty Dutton	3 3/1(+25%)	(1) Betty Dutton 3/1, Good third of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft, 7/1) 11 days ago, collared close home. No reason why she won't go well again. Stable in fine form and nearly pulled it off when grabbed close home at Mallow; go well.
15 8th (15) (25/1 +50%) Amazing Amy	25 25/1(+50%)	(15) Amazing Amy 25/1, 18/1, seventh of 15 in mares' maiden hurdle at Killarney (22.8f, good) 28 days ago. weakening from 2f out. Drops back markedly in trip returned to handicaps but more needed. Yard form encouraging; similar form last twice; not sure she is crying out for 2m; risky.
9 9th (9) (66/1 -313%) Is That So	66 66/1(-313%)	(9) Is That So 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fifth of 17 in novice hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft, 125/1) 11 days ago. More needed making handicap hurdle debut. Fair Flat maiden; getting there hurdling, around 4.5l behind Rebel Treaty at Cork, kept on.
12 10th (12) (40/1 -264%) Minnie Beets	40 40/1(-264%)	(12) Minnie Beets 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at this C&D (soft) 124 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should have more to offer. Eighth, beaten 26l, at Naas and here in maidens in spring; in top hands; rider in form.
4 \|PU\| (4) (11/1 +21%) Queenie Newall	11 11/1(+21%)	(4) Queenie Newall 11/1, 10/1, seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20f, good) 41 days ago. Others more persuasive. Big chance on Leopardstown third to close out two seasons ago; not at that level this year.
14 \|PU\| (14) (33/1 +34%) Image Du Large	33 33/1(+34%)	(14) Image Du Large 33/1, Offered a little more than previously for this yard when seventh in big field Tipperary mares' maiden (15.7f) in May but in process of running poorly when falling 4 out at Wexford (17.5f) later that month 16s, beaten when falling on handicap debut at Wexford in May; still early days.

18:20 Newmarket Maiden (Class 4) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (33/1 +0%) True Wisdom	33 33/1(+0%)	(7) True Wisdom 33/1, Looked badly in need of the experience when down the field on her recent introduction in a Class 2 Goodwood maiden (7f, soft). Will probably leave that form well behind in due course but she's hard to make a case for in this warm contest. Didn't show a great deal at Goodwood two weeks ago and this is another tough assignment.
2 2nd (2) (22/1 +12%) Bellum Justum	22 22/1(+12%)	(2) Bellum Justum 22/1, Fetched 375,000 gns as a yearling and boasts a good pedigree. However, he was very green on recent debut at this course (7f, good) and is likely to need more time. Ran green when a remote fifth here last month; needs a transformation upped in trip.
4 3rd (4) (1.2/1 -20%) Oddyssey	1.2 1.2/1(-20%)	(4) Oddyssey 1.2/1, Left debut form well behind when a close third in the Chesham at Royal Ascot. Performed to a similar level when filling the same spot in the Superlative Stake (7f, good to soft) here last month and sets a good standard for the others to aim at. Placed in Listed/Group 2 events last twice and sets a high standard back in calmer waters.
3 4th (3) (3.5/1 -40%) Kingdom Of Time	3.5 3.5/1(-40%)	(3) Kingdom Of Time 3.5/1, Foaled March 2. 800,000 gns yearling, Dubawi colt out of French 1¼m winner, herself a sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Highland Reel. Obvious appeal on paper for top connections that landed this race 12 months ago. 800,000gns yearling; has a striking pedigree and he's an interesting newcomer for top yard.
5 5th (5) (14/1 +0%) Time To Hunt	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Time To Hunt 14/1, Foaled January 26. 80,000 gns foal, Night of Thunder colt. Dam, German maiden, half-sister to smart German 9f-1½m (Deutsches Derby) winner Waldpark out of smart German 10.5f-1¾m winner Wurftaube. 80,000gns foal; has a useful target to aim at on debut but he needs checking in market..
1 6th (1) (2.5/1 +44%) Allegorical	2.5 2.5/1(+44%)	(1) Allegorical 2.5/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 11f Aleas and useful 2-y-o 7f winner Alizarine. Shaped well when fourth of 10 in what looked a decent Newbury novice (7f, good) and improvement likely for in-form yard now upped to a mile. Well-bred colt who made a promising start at Newbury and he's open to progress upped to 1m.
6 7th (6) (28/1 -56%) Want Want	28 28/1(-56%)	(6) Want Want 28/1, Positives to take from his debut sixth in a 14-runner Doncaster novice (5f, good to firm) during the spring. This is a big step up in trip but he's bred to stay at least a mile and can be expected to do better in time. Showed promise at Doncaster in May but this is much tougher on this big step up in trip.

Fair winner at 18f over hurdles. 16/5, won 16-runner handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 28 days ago, going clear. Fair on the Flat, 7/14 on last Flat run. Handicap hurdle winner at Kilbeggan last month, unplaced at Dundalk on only Flat start.

18:35 Thirsk Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 (9) (3/1 +25%) Ecclesiastical	3 3/1(+25%)	(9) Ecclesiastical 3/1, Made an excellent start for this yard, registering third success of the season in 9-runner C&D handicap (heavy) 13 days ago, just holding on from another in-form sort. Up further 4 lb but can't be discounted in this groove. Three wins this term, the latest by a nose over C&D 13 days ago; up 4lb; chance.
8 (8) (3/1 +40%) Majeski Man	3 3/1(+40%)	(8) Majeski Man 3/1, Latest win at Nottingham in May. Good second of 16 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 18/1) 7 days ago, rallying and just failing. Enters calculations. Won twice in May; back to form when short-head 2nd over C&D last week; should go well.
3 (3) (4/1 +11%) Abate	4 4/1(+11%)	(3) Abate 4/1, Front-running C&D winner who is enjoying a fine season under this rider, quickly into stride and proving game under pressure when making all at Windsor (5.1f) for latest success 3 weeks ago. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent him going well again in this groove. Three wins this season, the latest off 3lb lower last month (form strong); chance.
1 (1) (6.5/1 -30%) Nomadic Empire	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(1) Nomadic Empire 6.5/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago, ridden 2f out and one paced. Mark has eased a little more and he's not out of things for all he doesn't find winning easy. Won in Bahrain in December; on a good mark, but not easy to win with now; poorly drawn.
7 (7) (7/1 +30%) Muker	7 7/1(+30%)	(7) Muker 7/1, Latest win at Ayr in May. Good second of 8 in apprentice handicap (7/2) at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 43 days ago, shaken up over 2f out and staying on. Rider able to take off handy 7 lb again back in this deeper affair. Fair runs this season, including a 5f win at Ayr; well drawn; each-way chance.
2 (2) (10/1 -11%) Digital	10 10/1(-11%)	(2) Digital 10/1, Useful sprint handicapper who ran best race for Roger Fell when third behind Nomadic Empire in Bahrain back in December. Well held all 3 starts so far this campaign but since made an interesting yard switch and revival can't be ruled out. Third to Nomadic Empire in Bahrain in December; poor since; interesting on stable debut.
4 (4) (11/1 +8%) Count D'orsay	11 11/1(+8%)	(4) Count D'orsay 11/1, Back-to-back winner of handicaps at Hamilton/Chester earlier this year but not quite scaled same heights from inflated mark since, fifth of 7 in handicap at first-named venue 13 days ago. Drop back in class a plus now however. Two wins earlier this season, but not in the best of form recently; others appeal more.
6 (6) (20/1 -11%) Runninwild	20 20/1(-11%)	(6) Runninwild 20/1, Course winner. Operating below best in trio of starts so far this season, last of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago, never landing a blow. Would need to see more positive signs before becoming of interest. Won over 6f off this mark last August; rather disappointing since; others stronger.

Form	Odds	Runs
12 (12) (2/1 +11%) Sea Aster	2 2/1(+11%)	(12) Sea Aster 2/1, Thrice-raced maiden who showed much improved form when fifth in 15-runner event at Limerick (22f, soft) 22 days ago. Booking of Kennedy a plus. Sets the standard. Given more fluent jumping could well improve enough to have a say here.
5 (5) (2.25/1 +18%) Coastguard Lady	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(5) Coastguard Lady 2.25/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fifth of 16 in maiden hurdle (16/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) on hurdles bow 35 days ago. Booking of Townend a plus. Worthy of respect. Better for last month's comeback run; one to consider.
8 (8) (6/1 +67%) Iriskana	6 6/1(+67%)	(8) Iriskana 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 12/1, eighth of 13 in bumper at Wexford (20.7f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Hasn't progressed in bumpers, needs to improve for switch to hurdles to feature.
4 (4) (7.5/1 +25%) Cloudy Fountain	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(4) Cloudy Fountain 7.5/1, 10/1, shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when fifth of 15 in maiden at Killarney (22.8f, good) 28 days ago. Not dismissed. Killarney run encouraging; shorter trip could suit but more needed.
13 (13) (8/1 +11%) Shes So Glorious	8 8/1(+11%)	(13) Shes So Glorious 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, shaped as if better for the run after 4 months off when sixth of 17 in maiden hurdle at Tipperary (20f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Potential improver now upped in trip if settling better.
14 (14) (11/1 +45%) Tideways Hero	11 11/1(+45%)	(14) Tideways Hero 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1, eighth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Roscommon (15.3f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hood refitted and needs to get back on track. Potential improver upped in trip here and hood back on.
9 (9) (16/1 +20%) Lily's Choice	16 16/1(+20%)	(9) Lily's Choice 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. First run since leaving W. P. Mullins when seventh of 17 in maiden hurdle (7/1) at Cork (17f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Back up in trip.2 Trip probably inadequate latest, some sort of chance on earlier form for Willie Mullins.
16 (16) (33/1 +34%) Tullamore Lucy	33 33/1(+34%)	(16) Tullamore Lucy 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Seventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (19.8f, good to soft, 80/1) on hurdles bow 10 days ago. RESERVE. Encouraging recent hurdles debut; needs to jump better, longer trip to suit.
7 (7) (40/1 -100%) Getaway Rua	40 40/1(-100%)	(7) Getaway Rua 40/1, Modest form at best in bumpers. Makes hurdles debut. Showed ability in Galway bumper two years ago but below that level twice in the spring.
18 (18) (50/1 -456%) No Risk No Story	50 50/1(-456%)	(18) No Risk No Story 50/1, Little show completed starts over hurdles. Significantly back up in trip. RESERVE. Longer trip here could suit and worth a market check if getting a run; reserve.
6 (6) (66/1 -200%) Dina Leen	66 66/1(-200%)	(6) Dina Leen 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. First run since leaving W. P. Mullins when eighth of 10 in maiden hurdle (22/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good) 36 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Tried in a tongue tie after cutting out quickly last two starts.
15 (15) (80/1 +47%) Quarry Lady	80 80/1(+47%)	(15) Quarry Lady 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, ran out in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Tailed off first two starts and ran out halfway at Kilbeggan on latest.
11 (11) (100/1 -25%) Perfectway	100 100/1(-25%)	(11) Perfectway 100/1, Never a threat in bumper/maiden hurdles. Back up in trip. Well held in both maidens, looks a more likely one for handicaps.
2 (2) (200/1 -33%) Castle Arms Casa	200 200/1(-33%)	(2) Castle Arms Casa 200/1, Well held in a trio of maiden hurdles. Tailed off three maidens, easily passed over.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (2.5/1 +25%) Southwold	2.5 2.5/1(+25%)	(1) Southwold 2.5/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who doubled his tally on AW at Southwell in February. Has acquitted himself well switched to turf the last twice, latterly finding just one too good in cheekpieces at Sandown (1m, good to soft), and leading claims if responding well to the change of headgear (blinkers added). Two wins from his six starts and was good second off this mark (1m) last week; respected.
8 (8) (4.5/1 +25%) Bird Of Play	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(8) Bird Of Play 4.5/1, Left low-key reappearance behind when opening his account in a fast-ground 7f Haydock handicap in May. Has remained in good form since, including upped to this trip the last twice, and should be on the premises once more. Has done well under Elle-May Croot in his last four runs and another bold bid is expected.
5 (5) (5.5/1 +50%) Oh Herberts Reign	5.5 5.5/1(+50%)	(5) Oh Herberts Reign 5.5/1, Hasn't got his head in front for some time but he has fallen a long way in the weights and didn't do a great deal wrong when fourth over this C&D (good) last time. Down another 2 lb and shouldn't be far away. On much-reduced mark and fair efforts the last twice but he's now 0-19 since his 2yo days.
4 (4) (6/1 +8%) Lordsbridge Girl	6 6/1(+8%)	(4) Lordsbridge Girl 6/1, Won pair of 1m AW handicaps in January and has acquitted herself well on turf more recently, including when fourth of 8 off 1 lb higher here (7f, good) 3 weeks ago. Moving back up to this trip looks a good move and claims now reunited with Jamie Spencer, who is 2-3 when partnering this filly. Dual AW winner who is still unexposed on turf and has possibilities back up in trip.
12 (12) (8/1 -60%) Where's Freddy	8 8/1(-60%)	(12) Where's Freddy 8/1, Took a sizeable step forward equipped with a first-time tongue strap when narrowly seeing off 7 rivals in a handicap here (7f, good) 3 weeks ago. 3 lb rise fair enough and big shout if able to build on that. Off the mark in a 7f handicap here last month; up 3lb but he's open to more progress.
9 (9) (8/1 +11%) Le Reveur	8 8/1(+11%)	(9) Le Reveur 8/1, His turn appeared to be near when twice making the frame in C&D handicaps in June but form dipped when down the field following a characteristic slow start at Doncaster last time. Losing run is likely to continue. His last win was 14 months ago and he was tailed off at Doncaster last time.
13 (13) (11/1 -38%) Coloane	11 11/1(-38%)	(13) Coloane 11/1, Yet to get her head in front but she has made the frame on each of her 9 starts in handicap company. Perhaps found 9f too much of a stretch at Lingfield (good to soft) last time and possibilities back down in trip here with cheekpieces refitted. 0-12 but she's a consistent type and has claims on this drop back in trip.
3 (3) (14/1 +58%) Mr Cuddihy	14 14/1(+58%)	(3) Mr Cuddihy 14/1, Signs of ability sole start at 2 yrs for David Simcock but, having missed the whole of last season, he hasn't shown a great deal in 2 starts for new connections. Still, better can be expected now sent handicapping and market check advised. Unexposed handicap newcomer but he needs a transformation on this drop to 1m.
10 (10) (22/1 -10%) Split Elevens	22 22/1(-10%)	(10) Split Elevens 22/1, Won a brace of AW contests earlier this year and bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when third of 10 over C&D in June. Wasn't disgraced over 7f back here behind Where's Freddy next time but he's not the most reliable of types. Fair efforts here in his last two runs and has possibilities back up in trip.
11 (11) (22/1 +21%) Girl Inthe Picture	22 22/1(+21%)	(11) Girl Inthe Picture 22/1, Winner of a Brighton handicap off 1 lb lower last August and has twice found just one too good over a mile at Yarmouth this season. Failed to fire at Salisbury recently but she can usually be relied upon to run her race and is not without each-way hope. Three runner-up efforts over 1m this season but her form nosedived at Salisbury last time.
6 (6) (25/1 -14%) Mercurius Power	25 25/1(-14%)	(6) Mercurius Power 25/1, Best effort a while when third in a 14-runner Newcastle handicap (7f) 15 days ago but others make more appeal all the same. Didn't get the breaks at Newcastle last time and he looks interesting back up in trip.
14 (14) (28/1 -155%) Fully Deployed	28 28/1(-155%)	(14) Fully Deployed 28/1, Has failed to make a meaningful impact in half-a-dozen starts so far and this demands a jolt of improvement. 0-6 and he's not finished closer than fifth; needs to raise his game back on turf.
7 (7) (28/1 +15%) Aeroplane Mode	28 28/1(+15%)	(7) Aeroplane Mode 28/1, Has failed to trouble the judge in a bumper and 3 starts in this sphere to date. Likely he'll be seen in a better light now venturing down the handicap route, albeit a stiffer test is probably needed. Handicap debutant but he's struggled in the last two of his three Flat runs.

6 (6) (3.33/1 +49%) Braveheart Boy	3.33 3.33/1(+49%)	(6) Braveheart Boy 3.33/1, 10/3, fifth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft) 22 days ago. Should be on the premises if sluggish start doesn't hold him back. 0-8 in handicaps since novice win; fast-finishing 3rd at Chester (6f) on penultimate start.
2 (2) (4.5/1 -13%) Craven	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(2) Craven 4.5/1, Winner at Leicester in July. Tenth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 2 days ago. On the up prior to that, so not completely dismissed. 1st and 2nd over 7f before failing to fire at Beverley on Wednesday.
5 (5) (6.5/1 -136%) Roaring Ralph	6.5 6.5/1(-136%)	(5) Roaring Ralph 6.5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 15/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 32 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Mixed record but he had 7f wins at Redcar in May and on Wolverhampton AW last time.
4 (4) (14/1 +0%) Agnes Grey	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Agnes Grey 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/4, third of 4 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) 56 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Improvement required from stiff opening mark. Below form last time; overall improvement is needed on this handicap debut.
7 (7) (33/1 -65%) Tyke	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Tyke 33/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Southwell in April. 11/1, last of 8 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good) 81 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others more persuasive. Won debut at Southwell (6f, AW); well below that form in his three starts since; new trip.
8 (8) (40/1 +39%) Grey Force One	40 40/1(+39%)	(8) Grey Force One 40/1, 80/1, last of 12 in handicap at York (7.9f, good) 35 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others make more appeal. Two bits of form from six starts; absent six months before latest; headgear first time.
9 (9) (50/1 -52%) Hoof It Hoof It	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Hoof It Hoof It 50/1, 28/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at York (5.4f, good) 21 days ago. Up in trip. Hard to make a case for in current form. Well beaten on final two runs for R Hannon and the same story in all four for this stable.

Form	Odds	Runs
13 (13) (3.33/1 +76%) Loup De Tallane	3.33 3.33/1(+76%)	(13) Loup De Tallane 3.33/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good, 15/2) 29 days ago. Not completely dismissed. Grounf possibly a bit quick at Killarney; definite claims on best of form.
5 (5) (4/1 +38%) Hard Rain	4 4/1(+38%)	(5) Hard Rain 4/1, 7/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (17f, soft) 22 days ago, well on top finish. Back up in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Limerick winner up 9lb for that but could still go well and won't mind predicted rain.
11 (11) (6/1 +25%) Inforapenny	6 6/1(+25%)	(11) Inforapenny 6/1, 5/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20f, good) 41 days ago, running on. Expected to be bang there. Bellewstown run encouraging but probably won't want too much rain.
12 (12) (7/1 +42%) Joshua Chamberlain	7 7/1(+42%)	(12) Joshua Chamberlain 7/1, 6/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good) 4 days ago. Up in trip. Not completely dismissed despite the quick turnaround. Stamina could become an issue if rain comes; probably that bit high in handicap right now.
7 (7) (8.5/1 +39%) Zettabyte	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(7) Zettabyte 8.5/1, Unseated rider in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good, 9/2) 5 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. More required and has a bit to prove after a couple of non-completions. Hampered the last twice so remains potential improver on handicap debut.
16 (16) (8.5/1 +0%) Roman Parish	8.5 8.5/1(+0%)	(16) Roman Parish 8.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 13 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) 5 days ago. Likely to be on the premises. Engaged 5.49 here Thursday. Downpatrick second over this trip five days ago and fourth over fences here yesterday.
17 (17) (11/1 -69%) I Am Spider Man	11 11/1(-69%)	(17) I Am Spider Man 11/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20.4f, good, 3/1) 77 days ago, weakening quickly. Unlikely to feature. RESERVE. Veterinary excuse offered at Down Royal last time; unwise to discount his chance; reserve.
2 (2) (12/1 -118%) Pat Coyne	12 12/1(-118%)	(2) Pat Coyne 12/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 8 runs last season. 25/1, twelfth of 17 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good) 14 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Could bounce back. C&D win in April came off 97 so bit to find back hurdling after spell chasing.
10 (10) (14/1 -56%) Duncarrig	14 14/1(-56%)	(10) Duncarrig 14/1, First run since leaving P. J. Rothwell when fell in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Ballinrobe (21.6f, good) 24 days ago. Dangerous if scaling a revival. In contention when faller two out on handicap bow at Ballinrobe last month; don't dismiss.
1 (1) (20/1 +20%) Snugsborough Benny	20 20/1(+20%)	(1) Snugsborough Benny 20/1, 66/1, bit below form twelfth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22f, good to soft) 16 days ago, needing stiffer test. Others make more appeal. Four years without a win and plenty of improvement needed from Galway run.
15 (15) (22/1 -10%) Sheephaven Flyer	22 22/1(-10%)	(15) Sheephaven Flyer 22/1, 6/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 29 days ago. Tongue strap back on, cheekpieces on 1st time. Has a bit to prove. Cut out quickly last twice; new headgear combination now tried.

19:30 Newmarket Handicap (Class 5) 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (3/1 +0%) Squeezebox	3 3/1(+0%)	(2) Squeezebox 3/1, 9/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 21 days ago, bit in hand. Still looks pretty raw but he's generally been going the right way for this yard and he's worth a chance to follow up. Improver who has won two of his last three starts including over C&D last time; big player.
8 (8) (4/1 -14%) I Still Have Faith	4 4/1(-14%)	(8) I Still Have Faith 4/1, Off the mark at Nottingham last month and barely needed to improve to follow up over C&D in July. Unable to complete the hat-trick at Chepstow (third) 8 days ago but should be on the premises again. Two 1m2f wins last month and was fair third in his hat-trick bid at Chepstow; in the mix.
3 (3) (4.5/1 -29%) Jack Sparowe	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(3) Jack Sparowe 4.5/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (5/2) at Bath (8f, good) 9 days ago. Has few miles on the clock and longer trip should pose no issue, so looks a serious player. Last-gasp winner at Bath last week and he's respected on this step up to 1m2f.
5 (5) (6/1 +0%) Forest Demon	6 6/1(+0%)	(5) Forest Demon 6/1, 11/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 10 days ago. Holding form well without indicating that he's ahead of his mark, although tongue tied for the first time now. 0-6 this season but he's had some close calls on turf and is not ruled out.
4 (4) (6/1 +33%) Emma Emilleen	6 6/1(+33%)	(4) Emma Emilleen 6/1, Lope De Vega filly who looked progressive prior to a sub-par fourth at Wolverhampton last time. Remains with potential switched to handicaps. Unexposed handicap newcomer but she needs to step up again after her last run.
7 (7) (8/1 +0%) Wintercrack	8 8/1(+0%)	(7) Wintercrack 8/1, Made it third time lucky when landing a Leicester maiden over this trip in April. Back to form in first-time hood when third over C&D last time and can't be ruled out. Tailed off in four of her six runs but was a good third over C&D last time; dangerous.
6 (6) (9/1 +18%) Total Lockdown	9 9/1(+18%)	(6) Total Lockdown 9/1, C&D winner last August but not at best this season, leaving John Butler prior to latest sixth (behind Squeezebox) here 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces are back on. C&D win last August but he's been generally disappointing since; first-time cheekpieces.
9 (9) (22/1 +33%) Strictly Dreaming	22 22/1(+33%)	(9) Strictly Dreaming 22/1, Best effort this season when second of 8 in handicap at Redcar in on penultimate start but failed to back it up last time. Others make more appeal. Has a very mixed record so far and was tailed off when upped to 1m2f last time.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (2.25/1 +25%) Golden Days	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(1) Golden Days 2.25/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to win 16-runner handicap at Gowran (7f, soft, 10/1) 20 days ago by neck from Trueba. Cheekpieces back on. Usually goes well here and good shout in hat-trick bid. C&D winner arrives bidding for hat-trick and not ruled out despite another 7lb rise.
6 (6) (6.5/1 +54%) Law Lady	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(6) Law Lady 6.5/1, Below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 25/1) 64 days ago, met some trouble. Too keen when beaten 10l on return and off another 2 months; vulnerable down in trip.
5 (5) (8/1 +33%) Swiss Army Officer	8 8/1(+33%)	(5) Swiss Army Officer 8/1, Course winner. Latest win at Roscommon in May. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.2f, good, 11/1) 30 days ago, doing too much too soon. Won on this season's return; running okay in defeat since but others on better marks.
16 (16) (8.5/1 +39%) Plankton	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(16) Plankton 8.5/1, Sixteenth of 19 in handicap (33/1) at Naas (5.9f, good) 41 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Andrew McNamara and worth a look for new yard. Some promise for Ger Lyons last season; shown very little in 10 starts since though.
9 (9) (8.5/1 +58%) Florence Thompson	8.5 8.5/1(+58%)	(9) Florence Thompson 8.5/1, Remains a maiden after 41 Flat runs. 22/1, seventeenth of 19 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 41 days ago. Others more persuasive. 41-race maiden; lost her way in her last few starts; return to this trip a positive.
10 (10) (10/1 +17%) Kinda Tiny	10 10/1(+17%)	(10) Kinda Tiny 10/1, Good seventh of 15 in handicap (14/1) at Gowran (7f, soft) 20 days ago. 0-6 but one of her better runs when beaten 2l in Gowran h'cap latest; each-way claims.
18 (18) (11/1 +31%) Benerville	11 11/1(+31%)	(18) Benerville 11/1, Visored for 1st time, creditable eighth of 23 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good, 40/1) 5 days ago. Seemed to appreciate step back up in trip when beaten 4l latest; eased another 1lb.
14 (14) (11/1 +31%) Broken Silence	11 11/1(+31%)	(14) Broken Silence 11/1, 15/2 and blinkered for 1st time, twelfth of 16 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 37 days ago, not much room. Cheekpieces back on. 14-race maiden whose best form has come over 1m+; should handle conditions.
4 (4) (12/1 +14%) I Know I Can	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) I Know I Can 12/1, Remains a maiden after 26 Flat runs. 22/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Tipperary (7.4f, soft) 7 days ago. Stiff task back in a maiden last week; return to h'cap will help but now 0-26.
17 (17) (20/1 +50%) Tijuana	20 20/1(+50%)	(17) Tijuana 20/1, 200/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at Tipperary (5f, soft) 7 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. 0-7; hasn't shown enough in 2 runs this term; return to h'caps should help at least.
8 (8) (25/1 +38%) Cuala Bula	25 25/1(+38%)	(8) Cuala Bula 25/1, 40/1, ninth of 16 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 21 days ago. Every chance if back to best. 0-14; low-key start for new yard but signs of a revival on last 2 starts; back up in trip.
13 (13) (28/1 +44%) Bom De Briga	28 28/1(+44%)	(13) Bom De Briga 28/1, 80/1 and blinkered for 1st time, nineteenth of 23 in handicap at Naas (5f, good to firm) 51 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Struggled on AW in Britain; shown little in two runs for new yard.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 (7) (3/1 +33%) Prince Achille	3 3/1(+33%)	(7) Prince Achille 3/1, Shed maiden tag at Carlisle (11f) in May. Good second of 11 in handicap (5/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 7 days ago, headed post. Not taken lightly. Consistent over 1m3f-1m4f of late; denied on the post over this C&D last week.
8 (8) (3.33/1 +0%) Edwina Sheeran	3.33 3.33/1(+0%)	(8) Edwina Sheeran 3.33/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Ripon in July. 5/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, soft) 23 days ago, no match for winner. Has good chance on form. Near-2l second to a next-time winner at Leicester latest; player back down in grade.
4 (4) (5/1 +33%) Valley Of Flowers	5 5/1(+33%)	(4) Valley Of Flowers 5/1, Latest win at Beverley in June and hard to knock consistency since, settling better than is often the case and finishing off well when close third at Catterick (12f) 10 days ago. Another entitled to be thereabouts. 1l second in this last year; close to defying current mark the last twice; among likeliest.
3 (3) (6/1 +8%) Jamih	6 6/1(+8%)	(3) Jamih 6/1, Edged out re-opposing Valley of Flowers when landing this race from a 1 lb higher mark 12 months ago. Holding form well this time around, close-up fourth in a C&D handicap 7 days ago and expected to be in the mix again. Sole C&D winner in the line-up (this race last year off 1lb lower) and shortlisted again.
10 (10) (9/1 +44%) Optician	9 9/1(+44%)	(10) Optician 9/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Leicester (11.8f, soft) 23 days ago, weakening 2f out. Headgear worn then is retained here but he does need to get back on track now. Likely better at 1m4f than he's been able to show in two attempts so far; eased 2lb more.
9 (9) (11/1 +8%) Kittykarma	11 11/1(+8%)	(9) Kittykarma 11/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, plugged on without proving a match for the winner when second of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Leicester (11.8f, soft) 23 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Second at Leicester latest, albeit beaten 11l (1m4f, soft); down 2lb but others likelier.
14 (14) (14/1 +13%) Mad Artymaise	14 14/1(+13%)	(14) Mad Artymaise 14/1, Maiden who has largely run respectably so far this season, second of 10 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f) on penultimate start. Not disgraced when sixth over C&D last week but suspicion she'll find a few too good again. Perfectly consistent but 0-15 overall; held by two reopposing rivals over C&D last week.
13 (13) (20/1 -25%) Tiberio Force	20 20/1(-25%)	(13) Tiberio Force 20/1, 18/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good) 10 days ago, never on terms. Return to shorter rates a plus with blinkers refitted but others appeal more for win purposes. Useful swing with Valley Of Flowers on June's Beverley form; easier 1m4f a likely plus.
2 (2) (22/1 -100%) Bouncing Bobby	22 22/1(-100%)	(2) Bouncing Bobby 22/1, Doubled career tally returning from 5 months off at Hamilton (12f) in June, responding well having been off the bridle long way out. Not in same form back there later that month but given more of a break ahead of this. Remains on career-high mark, and doubt this sharper track will suit him as well as some.
5 (5) (28/1 -40%) Trailblazer	28 28/1(-40%)	(5) Trailblazer 28/1, Eighth of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Catterick (15.9f, good to firm) 37 days ago, proving too free. Back down in trip now but others make more appeal. Unimproved by return to front-running; drop of 3lb and 4f not enough to persuade.
6 (6) (33/1 -32%) Nakano	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) Nakano 33/1, Not without promise in novice/maiden company but essentially proved disappointing for the switch to handicaps to date. Latest run probably best overlooked in isolation (raced close to strong pace) but visor needs to have positive effect now. Weak finisher on most handicap starts (1m2f-1m3.5f) so far; visor replaces cheekpieces.
11 (11) (40/1 -186%) Act Of Will	40 40/1(-186%)	(11) Act Of Will 40/1, 22/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 41 days ago, carried right under 2f out and staying on. Wouldn't be sure to build on that here. Up in trip. Back to form 2l third latest, albeit in a slowly run 1m2f; another new trip tonight.
1 (1) (40/1 -100%) Riggsby	40 40/1(-100%)	(1) Riggsby 40/1, Dual AW winner (at 2m) for Julie Camacho who has posted a mixed bag over hurdles for present yard, failing to stay when well held fifth of 7 at Market Rasen (23f) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces added to tongue tie back on the level and Paul Mulrennan an eye-catching booking. 0-4 in turf Flat contests, albeit all of them tougher assignments than this evening's.
15 (15) (50/1 -100%) Stelios	50 50/1(-100%)	(15) Stelios 50/1, Modest maiden who was deserving of credit in faring best of those held up when third at Beverley (10f) in June. Not matched that either outing subsequently, well held last of 8 back at that venue 25 days ago. Trail has gone colder again since close third at Beverley in June; 1lb out of the weights.
12 (12) (150/1 -127%) Mollies Hope	150 150/1(-127%)	(12) Mollies Hope 150/1, Drew a blank in 2022 and finished well held on the back of 8 months off when tenth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f) 7 days ago. Can only be watched upped further in trip. Offered little on last week's return (1m1f); this 3f longer trip asks a new question.

Obvious claims on debut. Flat-bred newcomer unlikely to need to be anything special to make a winning debut.
3 (3) (2.75/1 +39%) Zolpharine	2.75 2.75/1(+39%)	(3) Zolpharine 2.75/1, Twice-raced maiden. 11/2, fourth of 11 in bumper at Ballinrobe (15.5f, good) 24 days ago. Respected. Ballinrobe promise; quite well-regarded and potential for more so don't rule out.
6 (6) (4/1 -14%) Gone For Tea	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Gone For Tea 4/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 8 in bumper (14/1) at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) 41 days ago. Likely to be on the premises. Encouraging efforts both runs in bumpers, should again play a role.
7 (7) (22/1 -144%) Silver Lark	22 22/1(-144%)	(7) Silver Lark 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, eleventh of 12 in bumper at Killarney (17f, good) 29 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. More required. Thurles debut promise last season hasn't been fulfilled; cheekpieces now tried.
4 (4) (25/1 +24%) Lake Manzaleh	25 25/1(+24%)	(4) Lake Manzaleh 25/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in bumper (25/1) at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 43 days ago. Godolphin cast-off never involved on Tipperary debut last month; gelded since.
8 (8) (25/1 +24%) Thats All	25 25/1(+24%)	(8) Thats All 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 15 in bumper at Thurles (16.3f, good to soft, 125/1) 176 days ago. Best of four bumper runs came on last start at Thurles in February; much more needed.
1 (1) (50/1 +24%) Crouching Tiger	50 50/1(+24%)	(1) Crouching Tiger 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Blinkered, thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.1f, good to soft, 40/1) on NH debut 108 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. Down in trip. Half-brother to high-class hurdler/chaser Champ has shown little trace of ability.

2 (2) (3/1 +25%) Bopedro	3 3/1(+25%)	(2) Bopedro 3/1, Irish Cambridgeshire winner in 2021 who struck for this yardon Rowley course (1m) in April. Placed twice since and has shaped as if still in top form in competitive events recently. Can take a hand if they go quick. Has mixed record since last win in April and he needs to get back near best.
8 (8) (5/1 -11%) Lose Your Wad	5 5/1(-11%)	(8) Lose Your Wad 5/1, Muhaarar colt who was off the mark at the second attempt in 1m Kempton maiden on reappearance in April. Has held his form since but isn't progressing and looked a tricky ride when sixth over C&D last time. Lightly raced 3yo but he's been well held in his three handicaps; others preferred.
3 (3) (6.5/1 +28%) Bear Force One	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(3) Bear Force One 6.5/1, Quirky sort but capable when in the mood, as he reiterated when landing a 1m Newbury handicap (good to firm) in decisive fashion in May. Found it all too much in the Royal Hunt Cup since but looks a bigger player in this lesser contest. His four runs this season have included two wins and two heavy defeats; risks attached.
9 (9) (7/1 -133%) Sudden Ambush	7 7/1(-133%)	(9) Sudden Ambush 7/1, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 3/1) 48 days ago, all out. Tongue strap on 1st time. Enjoying a productive campaign and there's probably more to come, so boasts leading claims. 3yo who has won two of his last three starts and is open to more progress; key player.
7 (7) (7.5/1 +17%) Repertoire	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(7) Repertoire 7.5/1, Latest win at Rowley course in May and has held form well since. Likely to be on the premises, although strong pace is important to him. Reliable type but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet.
1 (1) (8.5/1 +23%) Intellogent	8.5 8.5/1(+23%)	(1) Intellogent 8.5/1, Failed to build on previous promise when twenty fifth of 30 in Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) and refused to race at Sandown since, so plenty to prove temperament wise. On dangerous mark but he's 0-11 for current yard and refused to race at Sandown last time.
5 (5) (10/1 +17%) Finn's Charm	10 10/1(+17%)	(5) Finn's Charm 10/1, Resumed with 1m win in Musselburgh handicap and also posted a good second in the German 2000 Guineas in May. Disappointing in competitive handicaps since but this looks a bit easier. Has struggled at Ascot and Goodwood in his last two runs and has plenty to prove.
6 (6) (10/1 -18%) Arqoob	10 10/1(-18%)	(6) Arqoob 10/1, Useful operator on the Flat and has won over hurdles since last seen in this sphere. On a handy mark if he's tuned up for his first run in 111 days (has left Lucy Wadham). Did well over hurdles earlier this year and needs watching in market back on the Flat.
4 (4) (12/1 +0%) Azano	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Azano 12/1, Useful front-runner who hasn't really been firing lately, failing to beat a rival at Redcar 55 days ago. Might bounce back after a break. His last win was 13 months ago and he's faded in last three starts; down the list.

Good second of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.2f, good, 7/1) 30 days ago. Can make presence felt up 2 lb. Promising 4th on return and bounced back from lesser run when 2nd latest; 2lb rise fair.
15 (15) (3.5/1 +42%) Pallasmore Lass	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(15) Pallasmore Lass 3.5/1, Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Respectable fifth of 17 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft, 13/2) 23 days ago. Expected to be bang there. 0-24; only beaten a neck last month and good runs in defeat twice since; not ruled out.
2 (2) (5.5/1 +50%) Rose Of Malta	5.5 5.5/1(+50%)	(2) Rose Of Malta 5.5/1, 25/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.2f, good) 30 days ago. 0-10 but went close on heavy over C&D last term; now 5lb lower; respected with rain likely.
19 (19) (5.5/1 +61%) Barnhill Rose	5.5 5.5/1(+61%)	(19) Barnhill Rose 5.5/1, Latest win at Roscommon in July. Creditable eighth of 15 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good, 6/1) on Wednesday. RESERVE. Won 2 of her last 5 and only weakened late on last two starts; reserve.
12 (12) (6/1 +14%) Catherine Chroi	6 6/1(+14%)	(12) Catherine Chroi 6/1, Sixteenth of 24 in handicap (11/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 11 days ago. BOunce back called for. All 3 wins on AW; handles soft but needs to bounce back from poor run latest.
6 (6) (11/1 +8%) Tall Story	11 11/1(+8%)	(6) Tall Story 11/1, Remains a maiden after 27 Flat runs. Eighth of 10 in claimer (25/1) at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. 0-27 and struggled in claimers on last two runs; best form is over further.
13 (13) (18/1 -29%) Hell Left Loose	18 18/1(-29%)	(13) Hell Left Loose 18/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap (17/2) at Gowran (7f, soft) 20 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time, tongue strap back on. Went close on yard debut last year but regressive since and looks risky at present.
3 (3) (25/1 +38%) Second Fiddle	25 25/1(+38%)	(3) Second Fiddle 25/1, Seventh of 18 in maiden at Navan (5f, soft, 250/1). Off 97 days. Significantly back up in trip. Makes handicap debut and mark looks a shade too high. 0-6; best run yet when 7th on latest start but off 3 months and must improve.
16 (16) (25/1 +38%) Sin E Shekells	25 25/1(+38%)	(16) Sin E Shekells 25/1, Remains a maiden after 37 Flat runs. 66/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. 0-37; placed in first 2 runs for this yard but lost his way of late; longer trip may help.
4 (4) (50/1 -25%) Lady Wingalong	50 50/1(-25%)	(4) Lady Wingalong 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 200/1, tenth of 12 in maiden at this course (6f, good) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Poor form in maidens at variety of trips; needs to improve up in trip on h'cap bow.
5 (5) (50/1 -25%) Flaming O'hara	50 50/1(-25%)	(5) Flaming O'hara 50/1, 50/1 and visored for 1st time, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft) 20 days ago. In good hands but she needs to raise her game. Low-key effort on last month's handicap debut over this trip at Gowran.

ROSE OF MALTA should go well if she comes on from her low-key reappearance and returns to last year's level of form when a C&D 2nd

20:20 Thirsk Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (2.75/1 +45%) Roman Dynasty	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(4) Roman Dynasty 2.75/1, Snapped a lengthy losing sequence at Nottingham in June. Solid placed efforts all 3 outings since, third of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 10/3) 14 days ago. Merits consideration. Holding form very well in (often narrow) defeat since June's Nottingham success (8.5f).
6 (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Arranmore	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(6) Arranmore 4.5/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 7/2) 9 days ago, though he did look to be worried out of it. Another near-miss last time at Pontefract (1m, good); shortlisted off unchanged mark.
1 (1) (6/1 -80%) Bowland Park	6 6/1(-80%)	(1) Bowland Park 6/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 10 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm, 11/4) on return to action 55 days ago, running on. Can make presence felt from the same mark. Solid second to a course specialist ay Haydock latest; first drop into a class 5 handicap.
12 (12) (8/1 -78%) Temper Trap	8 8/1(-78%)	(12) Temper Trap 8/1, Career best when completing hat-trick in 7-runner handicap (evens) at Ripon (8f, good to soft) 10 days ago, readily. Has to be taken seriously up just 1 lb. Engaged 4.30 Beverley Thursday. Latest winning streak brought to a halt at Beverley yesterday afternoon; still 4lb well in.
9 (9) (10/1 +38%) Global Spirit	10 10/1(+38%)	(9) Global Spirit 10/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Pontefract (8f, good) 9 days ago. More severe headgear looks a good move. 3l behind Arranmore at Pontefract latest (1m, good); no certainty to revive in blinkers.
8 (8) (14/1 -17%) Ey Up Its The Boss	14 14/1(-17%)	(8) Ey Up Its The Boss 14/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 13 in handicap at York (7.9f, good, 7/1) 21 days ago. Struggling to put good runs together. Came close to a first win beyond 7f over this C&D in June; chance if there's a dryout.
2 (2) (16/1 -33%) Star Shield	16 16/1(-33%)	(2) Star Shield 16/1, Latest win at Wetherby in June. Shaped as though still in good form when fourth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 25 days ago, left with too much to do. Strong traveller needs considering. Two more 1m scores this term at Wetherby and Ayr, and still below several winning marks.
3 (3) (16/1 +20%) Lion's Dream	16 16/1(+20%)	(3) Lion's Dream 16/1, Blinkered for first time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 16/1) 31 days ago. Headgear removed and he doesn't look an easy ride. Mark never lower, but tendency to pull or hang has to temper confidence just now.
11 (11) (16/1 +36%) Diamond Haze	16 16/1(+36%)	(11) Diamond Haze 16/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good) 39 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Below-par effort at Ripon latest, but has done all his winning at Thirsk; might revive.
5 (5) (16/1 -129%) Solanna	16 16/1(-129%)	(5) Solanna 16/1, Six wins from 23 Flat runs. 3 wins from 9 runs this year, latest of them at Lingfield in May. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Sandown (10f, soft) 22 days ago. Stronger form since sent over further than 1m; will appreciate the drop back in class.
7 (7) (22/1 +27%) Touchwood	22 22/1(+27%)	(7) Touchwood 22/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft) 22 days ago. Hopes rest on significant step back up in trip sparking him back to life. Hasn't backed up a fair 7f fourth here in June, but is worth at least one go at a mile.
10 (10) (33/1 +18%) Devilwala	33 33/1(+18%)	(10) Devilwala 33/1, 50/1 and tongue strap on for first time, twelfth of 17 in handicap at York (7f, good) 21 days ago, finding little. Needs to cast the run aside. Mark has never been lower and best 2023 form has come here, but is not persuasive even so.
13 (13) (40/1 +39%) Bungley	40 40/1(+39%)	(13) Bungley 40/1, C&D winner. 25/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 59 days ago. Done some of her best work in previous Augusts (including C&D); not at best when last seen.

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.
