14:15 Catterick Maiden (Class 5) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (5/4 +50%) Nala Star	1.25 5/4(+50%)	(6) Nala Star 5/4, Lightly-raced filly. 3/1, bit below form fourth of 11 in novice at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time and she sets the standard on her runner-up effort at Bath. Sets the standard on her best form and she's respected with cheekpieces added.
7 2nd (7) (5/1 -67%) Beaujolais Nouveau	5 5/1(-67%)	(7) Beaujolais Nouveau 5/1, Took a step forward when second of 6 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good) 46 days ago. That puts her in the mix. Clear second behind odds-on rival at Hamilton and that form puts her firmly in the picture.
2 3rd (2) (14/1 +30%) Youvegotoshowmeluv	14 14/1(+30%)	(2) Youvegotoshowmeluv 14/1, Foaled February 10. 6,500 gns foal, Bungle Inthejungle gelding. Has speed on both side of his pedigree and he needs checking in market on debut.
1 4th (1) (3/1 +25%) Stapleford Park	3 3/1(+25%)	(1) Stapleford Park 3/1, Runner-up at Ripon on second start but took a backward step when fifth of 11 in novice (9/2) at Newbury (6f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Drops to 5f for the first time. Took a backward step at Newbury last time and not sure this drop to 5f will suit.
8 5th (8) (33/1 -106%) Coul Harswell	33 33/1(-106%)	(8) Coul Harswell 33/1, Foaled March 18. 18,000 gns yearling, Coulsty filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Elzamina and 6f winner Sopran Akilios, both winners in Italy. 18,000gns half-sister to two Italian winners; market should guide on debut.
9 6th (9) (8/1 -140%) Montana Girl	8 8/1(-140%)	(9) Montana Girl 8/1, Twice-raced filly. 33/1, fifth of 11 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. That was more like it. Promising fifth at Beverley last time and she's a big player if she can build on that.
4 7th (4) (25/1 -108%) Desert Eye	25 25/1(-108%)	(4) Desert Eye 25/1, Foaled April 16. 30,000 gns yearling, Expert Eye filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 1m Isola Rossa and 5f winner Glory Fighter, both useful. Dam ungenuine 6f winner. Tongue tie on for debut. Half-sister to several useful winners but yard is 2-70 with 2yos in Britain this season.
5 8th (5) (66/1 -267%) Jeany May	66 66/1(-267%)	(5) Jeany May 66/1, Thrice-raced filly. 125/1, ninth of 10 in novice at Beverley (5f, good) 13 days ago. Down the field at big prices in her three runs and remains best watched for now.
3 9th (3) (50/1 +0%) Cuban Lynx	50 50/1(+0%)	(3) Cuban Lynx 50/1, 33/1, sixth of 8 in novice at Newcastle (6f) on debut 26 days ago. Made a low-key start at at Newcastle and needs to leave that form a long way behind.

14:15 Catterick Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The relatively experienced Nala Star was last seen finishing fourth over 5f at Lingfield last month and, provided the application of cheekpieces has the desired effect, she should be competitive once more. That said, BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU edges preference. Ben Haslam's charge pulled clear of the third when finishing runner-up to a potentially useful sort over 5f at Hamilton latest and, with the promise of more to come, she may prove tough to stop. Of the newcomers, Desert Eye appeals most.

NALA STAR may have found her Lingfield race coming too soon a week on from a good effort at Bath and given a break and fitted with headgear, she is given the tentative nod. Beaujolais Nouveau and Montana Girl look the main threats.

The vote goes to BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU, who was a clear second behind an odds-on rival at Hamilton last time.

14:30 Musselburgh Maiden (Class 4) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (3/1 -9%) Lovely Spirit	3 3/1(-9%)	(7) Lovely Spirit 3/1, Showed improved form on third start following a break when second of 8 in novice at Ripon (6f, firm) 23 days ago. That puts her in the mix. Made most to show improved form when second at Ripon (6f, good); has a big chance on form.
5 2nd (5) (5/4 +58%) Antonin Dvorak	1.25 5/4(+58%)	(5) Antonin Dvorak 5/4, Foaled February 15. 16,000 gns yearling, New Bay colt. Half-brother to 1m winner Perfect Poise. Dam, 1m-9.5f winner, half-sister to very smart 7f-8.4f winner Brendan Brackan. Newcomer for powerful yard. 16,000gns yearling by New Bay; strong yard for 2yos, so he's one to note.
3 3rd (3) (33/1 -65%) Storm The Dug	33 33/1(-65%)	(3) Storm The Dug 33/1, Sent off 40/1 and showed more than on debut when fifth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) 32 days ago. Fifth of eight at Newcastle (7f, AW) last time but still needs markedly better.
4 4th (4) (50/1 -150%) Sure And Stedfast	50 50/1(-150%)	(4) Sure And Stedfast 50/1, Twice-raced colt. 16/1 gave trouble at the start when seventh of 11 in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good) 15 days ago, not knocked about. Apparent fair form on debut but not so good next time.
1 5th (1) (28/1 -75%) Coonawarra Star	28 28/1(-75%)	(1) Coonawarra Star 28/1, Twice-raced gelding. 40/1, seventh of 9 in novice at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago, slowly away. Some late progress at Ayr (7f) but faded markedly at Ripon (1m) nearly six weeks later.
8 6th (8) (11/1 +31%) Unforgetable Belle	11 11/1(+31%)	(8) Unforgetable Belle 11/1, Ninth of 13 in novice (14/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) on debut 29 days ago. Hooded for first time. Failed to settle at Yarmouth and carried her head high in the early stages; hood goes on.
2 7th (2) (11/4 -150%) Lightning Galaxy	2.75 11/4(-150%)	(2) Lightning Galaxy 11/4, Promising type. Second of 11 in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good, 9/1) on debut 15 days ago, clear of rest. May well do better with that under his belt. 2nd of 11 at Hamilton (6f, soft; 9-1), coming from rear to lead 1f out; high on the list.
6 8th (6) (125/1 -279%) Falaise Blanc	125 125/1(-279%)	(6) Falaise Blanc 125/1, Foaled February 8. €7,500 yearling, Whitecliffsofdover gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners in France, including 1m winner Gina Bere and 11.5f winner Fabuleuse Bere. Dam 7.5f winner. 7,500euros yearling; ninth foal; half-brother to four French/Spanish winners.
9 9th (9) (66/1 -100%) Baby Rover	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Baby Rover 66/1, Foaled April 3. €6,500 yearling, The Irish Rover filly. Sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Curious Rover. Dam unraced. 6,500euros yearling; second foal; sister to 5f 2yo winner Curious Rover (RPR 91).

14:30 Musselburgh Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

LOVELY SPIRIT posted her best effort to date when runner-up at Ripon earlier this month. A similar performance may be enough to see Richard Fahey's filly shed her maiden tag at the fourth time of asking and she edges the vote over Lightning Galaxy. The son of Lightning Spear offered plenty to work with on his debut second over 6f at Hamilton 15 days ago and today's 7f distance is likely to suit. Any market support for Antonin Dvorak first time out should be noted.

LIGHTNING GALAXY was really getting the hang of things when a promising second starting out at Hamilton a fortnight ago and with 7f sure to suit, he makes plenty of appeal. Lovely Spirit is the chief threat on form but she's had 3 attempts, so Antonin Dvorak is feared most on debut.

Lovely Spirit is top on form but LIGHTNING GALAXY has had only the one attempt and showed plenty. Antonin Dvorak needs a check.

14:45 Catterick Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (1/25 +32%) Flight Radar	0.04 1/25(+32%)	(1) Flight Radar 1/25, Very cheap purchase earlier this year but looks a bargain, confirming debut promise when winning 8-runner maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 13/8) 38 days ago, readily. Chance is there for all to see. Comfortable Redcar winner who has been found a very weak race to carry his penalty.
4 2nd (4) (33/1 -106%) Zousca	33 33/1(-106%)	(4) Zousca 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, seventh of 9 in novice at Kempton (7f, 250/1) 14 days ago. Beaten about 10l in two 7f races on the AW, the latest in a hood; has to step up.
2 3rd (2) (12/1 0%) Man Of A'an	12 12/1(0%)	(2) Man Of A'an 12/1, Fair gelding. 40/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Regressed sharply in handicaps and shouldn't be troubling Flight Radar on these terms.
3 4th (3) (40/1 +0%) Veracidad	40 40/1(+0%)	(3) Veracidad 40/1, Poor filly. Fifth of 13 in handicap at Sligo (5.7f, soft, 28/1) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. Enggaged 4.40 Musselburgh Tuesday. Longstanding maiden who finished last in a low-grade handicap at Musselburgh on Tuesday.

14:45 Catterick Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

This could be a straightforward task for FLIGHT RADAR, who was last seen running out a ready winner over 7f at Redcar last month and should be tough to stop with a reproduction of that effort. This step back to 7f can help Man Of A'An be seen to better effect and he is fancied to complete the forecast, while the unexposed Zousca is also respected, though handicaps may await for her.

Not only have connections of FLIGHT RADAR picked up a bargain at just £1,000 but they have also found a gilt-edged opening for him to supplement his Redcar win. Man of A'an will probably win the battle for second out of handicap company.

Karl Burke could not have found a weaker race for his Redcar winner FLIGHT RADAR to carry a penalty.

15:00 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (9/2 -50%) Solar Biricz	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(7) Solar Biricz 9/2, Creditable third of 10 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good, 6/1) 13 days ago. Entitled to consideration. First nursery brought a more competitive show when third at Beverley (5f, good to firm).
8 2nd (8) (16/1 +20%) Unmistakeable	16 16/1(+20%)	(8) Unmistakeable 16/1, 16/1, last of 10 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good) 13 days ago, though he was hampered early. Disappointing in nurseries so far. Her three nurseries have not gone well, admittedly hampered at Beverley last time.
1 3rd (1) (15/8 -70%) Rex Carver	1.875 15/8(-70%)	(1) Rex Carver 15/8, 17/2, produced best effort to date when second of 8 in nursery at Catterick (6f, firm) 9 days ago. Shortlist material from the same mark. One of the most exposed but beaten a nose off this mark at Catterick (6f) nine days ago.
6 4th (6) (16/1 +0%) Rosie Grey	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Rosie Grey 16/1, Poorly drawn and could never land a blow when ninth of 10 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Always behind under a 7lb claimer from wide draw at Beverley (5f, good to firm; 12-1).
5 5th (5) (13/2 +19%) Stat Goddess	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(5) Stat Goddess 13/2, Sixth of 8 in nursery (12/1) at Leicester (5f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Limit looks established. 0-8 with two seconds on soft; her lesser form on good ground and good to firm is a concern.
4 6th (4) (10/3 +26%) Misdreavous	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(4) Misdreavous 10/3, Shaped quite nicely on debut but failed to progress from that wice since, fifth of 8 in maiden (50/1) at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Makes nursery debut and may get back on track. Some ability all three starts and needs a second look going handicapping.
9 7th (9) (28/1 +30%) East Lea	28 28/1(+30%)	(9) East Lea 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, seventh of 10 in nursery at Beverley (5f, good) 13 days ago. Blinkers need to sharpen him up. Never threatened on nursery debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm; 28-1); blinkers go on.
2 8th (2) (10/1 +17%) Ballsgrove Boy	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Ballsgrove Boy 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in nursery at Kempton (6f, 14/1) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for. 4th in Lingfield novice (6f, soft) easily best effort; first go at 5f and in cheekpieces.

15:00 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A ease into class 6 company sparked an improved performance from REX CARVER when headed in the shadows of the post over 6f at Catterick nine days ago. The Expert Eye gelding makes plenty of appeal racing off an unchanged mark and, dropping in distance, compensation could be on the cards. Solar Biricz arrives on the back of a solid third at Beverley and he's feared most off a 1lb lower rating, ahead of nursery debutant Misdreavous.

Not a strong nursery so it affords an excellent opportunity for REX CARVER to go one place better than at Catterick last week. Solar Biricz and Misdreavous head the opposition.

The bold show he produced up front at Catterick last time puts REX CARVER top of the list. He is dropped from 6f.

15:15 Catterick Stakes (Class 6) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
11 1st (11) (40/1 -21%) Too Much Too Young	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Too Much Too Young 40/1, Poor gelding. 33/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Roger Fell & Sean Murray. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Returning to further is probably no bad thing and new trainer fits cheekpieces.
7 2nd (7) (3/1 +57%) Rain Cap	3 3/1(+57%)	(7) Rain Cap 3/1, Modest gelding. 4-time course winner. 10/3, below form fifth of 11 in minor event at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago. Visor back on. Latest effort best excused and he's worth taking a chance on. Inconsistent but continues to run well now and again and he has plenty of form here.
3 3rd (3) (6/1 -50%) Elettaria	6 6/1(-50%)	(3) Elettaria 6/1, Modest mare. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 9/2) 14 days ago, faring best of those held up. Can get involved if the race is run to suit. Behind Alice's Impact at Beverley last twice, though it was close between them last time.
8 4th (8) (40/1 -60%) Yaahobby	40 40/1(-60%)	(8) Yaahobby 40/1, Modest gelding. 22/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (5f, good), merely closing up late. Off 107 days. Significantly up in trip. Hood back on. Something to prove. Not offered a lot after wind surgery and this is a belated first try beyond 6f.
1 5th (1) (9/2 +0%) Clotherholme	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(1) Clotherholme 9/2, Modest gelding. C&D winner. 7/2, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Worthy of respect. Like many in here, he finds winning hard these days but he's not running at all badly.
6 6th (6) (4/1 +60%) Miss Calculation	4 4/1(+60%)	(6) Miss Calculation 4/1, Modest mare. C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 14/1) 30 days ago. Could bounce back. Won over C&D in May (soft) off just 3lb lower and placed in a classified race since then.
9 7th (9) (11/4 0%) Alice's Impact	2.75 11/4(0%)	(9) Alice's Impact 11/4, Modest filly. Winner at Beverley in July. 10/3, good second of 8 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Can make her presence felt. Still lightly raced; consistent in minor handicaps and a big player at this level.

15:15 Catterick Stakes (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ALICE'S IMPACT (second) got the better of Elettaria (third) when the pair met over an extended 7f at Beverley recently and, off an unchanged mark, the former gets the vote to confirm her superiority over that rival en route to victory this time around. Rain Cap can be forgiven his recent low key effort over C&D after stumbling when leaving the stalls and he merits respect off a tumbling mark.

RAIN CAP stumbled early when below form last time but he has an excellent course record overall and, with the headgear changed again, he's worth chancing. Alice's Impact is going the right way and looks the main threat, while Elettaria can make her presence felt if they go hard up front.

Most of these find winning hard. ALICE'S IMPACT has been admirably consistent since handicapping and makes the most appeal.

15:35 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 9f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (6/1 -100%) Miners Gamble	6 6/1(-100%)	(6) Miners Gamble 6/1, Shaped well when fourth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 11/1) 30 days ago, left with too much to do but keeping on well. That makes him of serious interest. Back near his best when fourth at Southwell (1m, AW) latest, running on from the back.
3 2nd (3) (3/1 +60%) Gone Rogue	3 3/1(+60%)	(3) Gone Rogue 3/1, Course winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm, 18/1) 27 days ago, clear but reeled in over 2f out. Often front-runs; two wins over 7f last season but has been rather disappointing this term.
2 3rd (2) (10/1 -43%) Epidavros	10 10/1(-43%)	(2) Epidavros 10/1, Creditable third of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) 11 days ago, slowly away and short of room briefly. Needs a bit of overall improvement to register her first win at this seventh attempt.
8 4th (8) (20/1 -25%) The Bobster	20 20/1(-25%)	(8) The Bobster 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 13/2) 18 days ago. Two bits of modest form on soft; tailed off when trying 1m on good to firm at Redcar.
5 5th (5) (20/1 +0%) Triple Force	20 20/1(+0%)	(5) Triple Force 20/1, First run since leaving Ann Duffield when sixth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 44 days ago, not looking totally straightforward. Up in trip. Finished a good deal closer for new yard but that was in only sixth of seven (7f, good).
11 6th (11) (28/1 -75%) Showmethewayhome	28 28/1(-75%)	(11) Showmethewayhome 28/1, 12/1, creditable second of 9 in minor event at Ayr (8f, good) 16 days ago. This is a deeper race. 2nd in a 1m classified at Ayr latest, having run respectably over 1m2f the time before.
10 7th (10) (25/1 -25%) Likleman	25 25/1(-25%)	(10) Likleman 25/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 10/1, fifth of 7 in minor event at Ayr (8f, good) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive. 0-16 with bits of form at up to 1m which give him a shout; two lesser shows beyond that.
4 8th (4) (4/1 -14%) More Than A Feelin	4 4/1(-14%)	(4) More Than A Feelin 4/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in July. Good second of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (8f) 16 days ago, clear of rest. Enters calculations. Won at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in July and second on both starts since.
9 9th (9) (22/1 -22%) Scarfo	22 22/1(-22%)	(9) Scarfo 22/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in July. Eighth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 30 days ago. Up in trip, which looks worth exploring. 7f AW winner three starts back; more to prove over this new trip and particularly on turf.
1 10th (1) (5/2 +25%) Evelyn's Phoenix	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(1) Evelyn's Phoenix 5/2, Three wins from 12 runs this year, career best for latest of them in 7-runner handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm, 7/2) 17 days ago, running on. Up 5 lb but likely to give it another good go. Reliable sort who has won three of his nine handicaps, including at Ripon (1m2f) last time.
7 11th (7) (33/1 -65%) Colour Code	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Colour Code 33/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap (100/1) at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago, slowly away. Well held for this yard since despite big fall in the weights; failed to show she stays 1m.

15:35 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

A switch to more aggressive tactics saw EVELYN'S PHOENIX make all at Ripon earlier this month. A similar approach may see Tim Easterby's inmate following up, with a 5lb higher rating looking far from insurmountable. More Than A Feelin has filled the runner-up spot at Windsor and Kempton since her breakthrough victory at Wolverhampton in July and another good account is forecast from the daughter of Sea The Stars. Miners Gamble also enters the reckoning now upped in distance.

MINERS GAMBLE caught the eye from an unpromising track position when fourth at Southwell a month ago and that performance suggests he has it in him to win from this mark. Evelyn's Phoenix made all at Ripon last time so he commands respect, along with More Than A Feelin.

The most solid options appear to be EVELYN'S PHOENIX (nap) ahead of More Than A Feelin.

15:50 Catterick Stakes (Class 6) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
11 (11) (40/1 -150%) Notion In Motion	40 40/1(-150%)	(11) Notion In Motion 40/1, Modest gelding. 150/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others make more appeal. Eight-race maiden who has struggled in both runs for current yard; visor now tried.
1 1st (1) (10/3 +44%) Desert Dream	3.333333 10/3(+44%)	(1) Desert Dream 10/3, Modest gelding. C&D winner. 15/2, respectable third of 7 in minor event at Ayr (8f, good) 16 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Can give another good account from a handy draw. C&D winner who was third in a classified event at Ayr latest; in the mix again.
4 2nd (4) (5/1 -100%) John Kirkup	5 5/1(-100%)	(4) John Kirkup 5/1, Modest gelding. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 8/1, good third of 15 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 18 days ago. Expected to be bang there. In-form 9yo who ran well over C&D two runs back; big player back up in trip.
10 3rd (10) (11/1 +0%) Marton Heads	11 11/1(+0%)	(10) Marton Heads 11/1, Modest gelding. Seventh of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Still a maiden after 11 starts and well-held seventh in his last two runs; opposable.
2 4th (2) (4/1 +20%) Doomsday	4 4/1(+20%)	(2) Doomsday 4/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in August. 13/2, respectable fourth of 11 in minor event at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Strong claims. Made all at Musselburgh on his penultimate run and he's not ruled out in new headgear.
9 5th (9) (22/1 -120%) Madame Christine	22 22/1(-120%)	(9) Madame Christine 22/1, Modest filly. 17/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 81 days ago. Others preferred. 11-race maiden; had wind surgery after her Redcar flop and she needs a major revival.
7 6th (7) (40/1 -60%) Coramento	40 40/1(-60%)	(7) Coramento 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 150/1). Off 6 months. Likely to need the run. Tailed off in all three runs and he needs a transformation switched to turf on his return.
6 7th (6) (9/4 +36%) Variety Island	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(6) Variety Island 9/4, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good, 22/1) 21 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Cheekpieces back on. Merits consideration. Last win was over C&D in April and he ran well over 5f latest; dangerous back up in trip.
3 8th (3) (22/1 -38%) Golden Gal	22 22/1(-38%)	(3) Golden Gal 22/1, Modest mare. Course winner. Bit below form seventh of 12 in minor event (50/1) at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Has generally struggled this season and she's untried at this trip; plenty to prove.
8 9th (8) (100/1 -300%) Hyrcanian	100 100/1(-300%)	(8) Hyrcanian 100/1, Modest filly. 50/1, first run since leaving K. R. Burke when tenth of 12 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 68 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Seven-race maiden who struggled on her stable debut in June; cheekpieces now tried.
5 10th (5) (16/1 -60%) Spartan Fighter	16 16/1(-60%)	(5) Spartan Fighter 16/1, Fair gelding. Latest win at Southwell in February. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Redcar (6f, soft). Off 92 days. Back in the doldrums at Redcar when last seen in May and his last turf win was in 2019.

15:50 Catterick Stakes (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

John Kirkup reaches the milestone of his 100th career start and appeals for a place at least based on his resurgent recent form. However, this trip does appear to stretch him to the limit and it would come as no surprise to see previous C&D winner VARIETY ISLAND spoil the party, with the forecast ground conditions set to be ideal. Desert Dream has a similar profile and is another suggestion for the shortlist, while Golden Gal is weighted to go well if her stamina holds out.

DOOMSDAY arrives in form and could be perked up by the first-time blinkers, so he's preferred to John Kirkup and Desert Dream in an open-looking contest.

Most of these have something to prove but JOHN KIRKUP is in good form and he gets the vote on this step back up in trip.

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (7/1 +79%) Trojan Sun	7 7/1(+79%)	(9) Trojan Sun 7/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft, 28/1) 23 days ago, needing stiffer test. No forlorn hope. Stayed on into second late in the day on handicap debut over C&D; some renewed hope latest.
2 2nd (2) (5/1 +9%) Yorkindness	5 5/1(+9%)	(2) Yorkindness 5/1, Course winner. 85/40, last of 3 in handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good) 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Five wins last term, the last over C&D; 7lb lower now, having gone the wrong way this year.
5 3rd (5) (11/1 +56%) Show No Fear	11 11/1(+56%)	(5) Show No Fear 11/1, Latest win at Ayr in May. 40/1, last of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 6 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Something to find on form. Two good runs before twice finishing last; different headgear this time.
8 4th (8) (13/2 +28%) Zephlyn	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(8) Zephlyn 13/2, Latest win at Southwell in March. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (3/1) at Catterick (15.9f, good to firm) 22 days ago. One for the shortlist. 0-12 on turf but went close when returning to form over C&D (good) on penultimate start.
1 5th (1) (14/1 -100%) Two Auld Pals	14 14/1(-100%)	(1) Two Auld Pals 14/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in May. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap at Ascot (16f, good, 50/1) 33 days ago. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort. Hamilton 1m5f win in May; backward steps on last two starts, trying cheekpieces on latest.
7 6th (7) (7/1 -75%) Rory The Cat	7 7/1(-75%)	(7) Rory The Cat 7/1, 3/1, bagged 6-runner handicap at this course (14f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Up in trip and needs considering. Co-favourite and back to form when winning six-runner race here (1m6f) latest; stays 2m1f.
4 7th (4) (6/1 -50%) Pons Aelius	6 6/1(-50%)	(4) Pons Aelius 6/1, Won 8-runner handicap (4/1) at Beverley (16.2f, good) 13 days ago, staying on well. Ought to be thereabouts. Back up 3lb after Beverley win but had better form last year; no surprise if on premises.
3 8th (3) (5/2 +0%) Simple Star	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(3) Simple Star 5/2, Course winner. 3/1, good third of 5 in handicap at this course (12.5f, good to firm) 19 days ago, just failing. Significantly back up in trip and weighted to go close. Sole go beyond 1m5f on Flat was in this last year, neck 2nd in slowly run five-runner race.

16:05 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

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

Having scored in comfortable fashion over 1m6f at Musselburgh, RORY THE CAT looks primed to take this step up in class in his stride. Lucinda Russell's charge justified market support when pulling clear on that occasion, and a 3lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear out of his reach. Simple Star is feared most after only narrowly missing in a blanket finish over the extended 1m4f at this venue earlier this month and this extra yardage appears likely to suit, while Pons Aelius should also be on the scene.

SIMPLE STAR was just edged out when third here last time but remains on a handy mark so is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of Beverley scorer Pons Aelius. Rory The Cat must also enter calculations on the back of his recent course success.

Having won his first Musselburgh Flat race last time out, following two wins over hurdles here last winter, RORY THE CAT gets the vote.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (11/2 +15%) Routine Excellence	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(3) Routine Excellence 11/2, Fairly useful chaser. Creditable fifth of 20 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Solid efforts last twice in handicap hurdles at Tipperary and Galway; each-way chance.
9 2nd (9) (16/5 +51%) I Am Spider Man	3.2 16/5(+51%)	(9) I Am Spider Man 16/5, Fair hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in July. 7/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles with more needed. In good form over hurdles this summer;one of two stable runners and probable second-string.
10 3rd (10) (25/1 -150%) Wild Shot	25 25/1(-150%)	(10) Wild Shot 25/1, Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Tramore (16.4f, good to soft, 25/1) 11 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Pulled up on last hurdle run so has work to do. 11 career wins; not the horse he was, but not a bad effort in a Flat handicap at Tramore.
1 4th (1) (5/4 +23%) Dollar Value	1.25 5/4(+23%)	(1) Dollar Value 5/4, Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in August. Good second of 8 in minor event hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good, 85/40) 17 days ago. Temperamental sort. Beat Boom Boom Boom by 16 lengths in a Sligo claiming hurdle last month; the one to beat.
14 5th (14) (14/1 +30%) Brianna Lily	14 14/1(+30%)	(14) Brianna Lily 14/1, Fair hurdler. 18/1, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good to soft) 34 days ago, left poorly placed. In the picture. Won a 3m handicap hurdle at Clonmel last September but has failed to match that since.
2 6th (2) (16/1 -167%) Teagarden Jazz	16 16/1(-167%)	(2) Teagarden Jazz 16/1, Fair hurdler. 25/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles and not ruled out. 17-race maiden needs to find a bit extra under these race conditions.
15 7th (15) (25/1 +50%) Gino Drummer Boy	25 25/1(+50%)	(15) Gino Drummer Boy 25/1, Modest hurdler. 11/1, below form sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.4f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Back up in trip. Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. Behind Dollar Value twice; well beaten in a Tramore maiden hurdle last time.
8 8th (8) (80/1 -100%) Grand Cru Chatho	80 80/1(-100%)	(8) Grand Cru Chatho 80/1, Modest hurdler. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Sligo (17.4f, soft) 7 days ago. 15-race maiden and has not really fulfilled early promise; very hard to fancy.
5 9th (5) (50/1 +0%) Ballerina Boxer	50 50/1(+0%)	(5) Ballerina Boxer 50/1, Poor hurdler. 14/1, good sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.4f, good) 13 days ago. No easy ask at these weights though. Improved efforts last twice in handicap hurdles at Wexford and Tramore; much more needed.
13 \|PU\| (13) (8/1 -191%) Boom Boom Boom	8 8/1(-191%)	(13) Boom Boom Boom 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Ballinrobe in July. Respectable second of 7 to Dollar Value in claiming hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, soft, 5/1) 20 days ago. The form pick at these weights. 14lb better off with Dollar Value but no guarantee that will be enough to turn the tables.
7 \|PU\| (7) (25/1 -25%) Un Des Flos	25 25/1(-25%)	(7) Un Des Flos 25/1, 80/1 and hood on for 1st time in this code, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Leopardstown (15f, good to firm) on flat debut 69 days ago, missing break. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Very little racing in the last two years and others preferred.
4 \|PU\| (4) (28/1 -12%) Walmix	28 28/1(-12%)	(4) Walmix 28/1, Fair hurdler. 18/1, below form sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Yet to show his best form over hurdles or fences this year; others preferred.

16:15 Bellewstown Claiming Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DOLLAR VALUE put up a remarkable performance after losing a lot of ground at the start in a similar event at Sligo earlier this month. The Tom McCourt-trained gelding likes to force the pace but didn't get to the front until two out before forging clear to beat Boom Boom Boom by all of 16 lengths. The selection probably ran to a similar level when runner-up to favourite Mordor three days later at Downpatrick. Boom Boom Boom previously won at Ballinrobe and riding arrangements suggest he's preferred to I Am Spider Man, while others to consider include Routine Excellence and Wild Shot.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and BOOM BOOM BOOM, favoured by these weights, gets the nod at the chief expense of Brianna Lily who wasn't seen to best effect when seventh at Wexford last time. Downpatrick runner-up Dollar Value can also have a say.

In fine form in claiming hurdles over the summer, DOLLAR VALUE can score again after a good run in a Downpatrick rated hurdle last time

16:25 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 14f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (14/1 +0%) Hidden Pearl	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Hidden Pearl 14/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Bath (13f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Not completely dismissed. Won on Yarmouth (1m6f) reappearance but she's not hit the same level in two runs since.
14 2nd (14) (22/1 -10%) Normandy Vista	22 22/1(-10%)	(14) Normandy Vista 22/1, 16/1, 3 lengths sixth of 7 to Jamih in handicap at this course (12.1f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Others make more appeal. Seven-race maiden who has behind five of today's rivals here last time; down the list.
1 3rd (1) (10/1 -43%) Sonning	10 10/1(-43%)	(1) Sonning 10/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 1½ lengths fourth of 7 to Jamih in handicap at this course (12.1f, good to firm, 13/2) 22 days ago, slowly away. Last win was in 2022 but he wasn't far behind Jamih here three weeks ago; in the mix.
9 4th (9) (14/1 -27%) Peripeteia	14 14/1(-27%)	(9) Peripeteia 14/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in July. 4/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Ripon (9.8f, good) 2 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Her mini-revival came to a halt at Ripon on Monday and this is a quick turnaround.
8 5th (8) (50/1 -213%) Lord Warburton	50 50/1(-213%)	(8) Lord Warburton 50/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Pontefract in June. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 17/2) 29 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Ended a long losing run at Pontefract but he's been well held in both runs since.
6 6th (6) (11/2 +21%) Ambassador	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(6) Ambassador 11/2, 13/2, won 11-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) 33 days ago. Modest on the Flat, ran respectably when last seen in this sphere. Can go well off tempting mark (rated 106 over hurdles). Made all over hurdles last time and he's on dangerous mark back on the Flat; shortlisted.
10 7th (10) (16/1 -78%) The Resdev Way	16 16/1(-78%)	(10) The Resdev Way 16/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at this course (15.9f, good to firm, 11/1) 22 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Worth considering back down in trip. Losing run is up to 26 but he's been placed in his three runs this year; each-way claims.
15 8th (15) (5/4 +75%) Lady Phoebe	1.25 5/4(+75%)	(15) Lady Phoebe 5/4, 18/1, very good second of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good) 15 days ago. Expected to be bang there. 0-7 but she went close at Hamilton last time and is open to more progress at this new trip.
11 9th (11) (40/1 -186%) Casa Luna	40 40/1(-186%)	(11) Casa Luna 40/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. 1½ lengths fifth of 7 to Jamih in handicap (16/1) at this course (12.1f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Hard to make a strong case for. Won at Wolverhampton (1m6f) in March and wasn't far behind Jamih here latest; dangerous.
2 10th (2) (8/1 -45%) Twoforthegutter	8 8/1(-45%)	(2) Twoforthegutter 8/1, Latest win at Hamilton in June. 10/3, creditable ½-length second of 7 to Jamih in handicap at this course (12.1f, good to firm) 22 days ago, running on. Likely to be on the premises. Two wins at Hamilton in June and close second behind Jamih here latest; respected.
3 11th (3) (150/1 -275%) Daniel Deronda	150 150/1(-275%)	(3) Daniel Deronda 150/1, Ungenuine type. 50/1, first run since leaving Sarah Humphrey when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Winless since 2021 and was tailed off back n the Flat on stable debut last month.
5 12th (5) (16/1 -220%) Jamih	16 16/1(-220%)	(5) Jamih 16/1, Course winner. Won 7-runner handicap at Thirsk (12f, good, 10/1) 12 days ago, suited by way race developed. Should go well again. Won at 1m4f last twice and is a big player again if he copes with this return to 1m6f.
7 13th (7) (11/1 -57%) Can Can Girl	11 11/1(-57%)	(7) Can Can Girl 11/1, Temperamental sort. Latest win at Doncaster in July. 12/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Others are more appealing. Won at Doncaster before a creditable effort back at 1m4f; possibilities back up in trip.
13 14th (13) (150/1 -50%) Coeur De Coeurs	150 150/1(-50%)	(13) Coeur De Coeurs 150/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (15.9f, good to soft, 125/1) 49 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Nine-race maiden who has finished tailed off in both runs (1m4f/2m) this season; opposable.

16:25 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

The in-form Jamih will likely be a popular choice as he bids to complete a quickfire hat-trick after wins over 1m4f both here and at Thirsk over the last three weeks. However, he was a well-held fifth in this race last year and again looks vulnerable over this trip. With that in mind, the much less exposed LADY PHOEBE looks worth chancing on the basis of having more to offer on just her fifth start in a handicap. Can Can Girl and Twoforthegutter complete the shortlist.

AMBASSADOR has been in good order over hurdles and looks nicely handicapped back in this sphere, so a chance is taken on him. Jamih and Twoforthegutter fought out the finish over 1m4f here three weeks ago and that pair are likely to be involved once again.

An open race in which the vote goes to 3yo LADY PHOEBE, who went very close at Hamilton and is open to more progress at this new trip.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (9/2 +25%) Showtime Mahomes	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(2) Showtime Mahomes 9/2, C&D winner. 10/1, left poorly placed from an unfavourable draw when eleventh of 16 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Interesting off an easing mark. Mostly running with credit in defeat this term; won (2021 and 2023) his only two runs here.
3 2nd (3) (66/1 -100%) Jackhammer	66 66/1(-100%)	(3) Jackhammer 66/1, Last of 7 in handicap (18/1) at Carlisle (9f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Down in trip. Blinkers back on. Given a chance by the assessor. Veteran who has mixed Flat with chasing over the last year or so; vulnerable over 7f.
8 3rd (8) (16/1 -129%) Ramon Di Loria	16 16/1(-129%)	(8) Ramon Di Loria 16/1, C&D winner. 10/3, won 7-runner handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 16 days ago. Needs considering. In good form; unraced over this far since 2022 but he did win over C&D in that campaign.
4 4th (4) (20/1 -100%) Novak	20 20/1(-100%)	(4) Novak 20/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 2½ lengths eighth of 10 to Braes of Doune in handicap (8/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good) 16 days ago. No forlorn hope. First turf run for nearly 11 months when eighth behind Braes Of Doune at Ayr.
9 5th (9) (14/1 -40%) Pembrokeshire	14 14/1(-40%)	(9) Pembrokeshire 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in July. Last of 8 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good, 3/1) 16 days ago. Has work to do. C&D winner; scored at Ayr on penultimate start but needs to bounce back from latest effort.
1 6th (1) (9/2 -13%) Vince Le Prince	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(1) Vince Le Prince 9/2, 5/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, firm) 9 days ago. Can make his presence felt under a 5 lb penalty. Solid campaign with two wins; came wide when well on top at Catterick (7f) nine days ago.
10 7th (10) (9/1 -38%) Carlton And Co	9 9/1(-38%)	(10) Carlton And Co 9/1, Latest win at Leicester in July. 4/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts. In good form; going back up to 7f (last tried 11 months ago) seems to ask a major question.
12 8th (12) (2/1 +67%) Braes Of Doune	2 2/1(+67%)	(12) Braes Of Doune 2/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 5/2) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly. Engaged Musselburgh 3.40 Tuesday. Seriously competitive since dropped back to 7f, winning last two starts, here yesterday.
6 9th (6) (12/1 -50%) Medici Pass	12 12/1(-50%)	(6) Medici Pass 12/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in March. 16/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 7 days ago. In the picture.

Latest win at Ayr in May. 10/1, creditable 2¼ lengths sixth of 10 to Braes of Doune in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 16 days ago. Considered. 6th in the bunched finish behind Braes Of Doune at Ayr latest, not getting a clear run.

16:35 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

VINCE LE PRINCE was well in command at the line over 7f at Carlisle nine days ago and he can follow up that success today. Tim Easterby's charge will have to defy a 5lb penalty for that three-and-a-half-length victory but that could prove lenient. Fellow last-time-out winner Ramon Di Loria can pose the most significant questions to the selection after shaping as if this extra yardage would suit when winning over 6f at Ayr, while Medici Pass is also considered.

SHOWTIME MAHOMES has slipped in the weights and didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eleventh at Ripon last time so this C&D winner looks the way to go. Recent Catterick scorer Vince Le Prince is feared most under a 5 lb penalty ahead of Carlton And Co, Code Purple and Braes Of Doune.

Braes Of Doune won here yesterday but if he is absent from this race, MONHAMMER would get the vote ahead of Showtime Mahomes.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) ( ) Harry's Hope	0 ()	(4) Harry's Hope , Irish point winner who showed more than previously under Rules when fourth of 9 in maiden hurdle (17f) in January. Hit the frame last 2 starts in handicaps to end the season and given her pedigree, fences may see her in a better light. Has come down in the weights and could do better as a chaser; considered..
7 1st (7) (15/2 +17%) Henry Box Brown	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(7) Henry Box Brown 15/2, Opened his account over hurdles at Uttoxeter in December 2022. Mixed record since, following runner-up effort at Stratford in June with a brace of lesser efforts. Down another 3lb but comes with risks and has yet to prove he stays this far..
5 2nd (5) (16/1 -14%) Famous Last Word	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Famous Last Word 16/1, Very lightly raced for a 9-y-o and didn't convince in a couple of starts over fences during early 2023. Has a good deal to prove returning from another lengthy absence. Returns from a second long absence and probably best watched unless strong in the market..
14 3rd (14) (33/1 +0%) Kayf Baha	33 33/1(+0%)	(14) Kayf Baha 33/1, Winning Irish pointer but no worthwhile form under Rules. Hard to make a case for reverting to fences from out of the weights..
2 4th (2) (11/4 +39%) Lost Connections	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(2) Lost Connections 11/4, Landed a 2m4f mares' handicap chase at Ludlow last season. Rather in and out since, often ridden with restraint but she stuck to her task when fourth over C&D last month. Sound claims. Sole win came off this mark last year; a couple of respectable efforts in July.
8 5th (8) (12/1 +40%) Miss Marette	12 12/1(+40%)	(8) Miss Marette 12/1, Came good in a weak mares' maiden at Exeter last autumn but has just the one creditable effort to her name in handicaps since. Others are preferred on chase debut. Out of form so far this year and needs to lift her game on chase debut..
3 6th (3) (10/1 +60%) Politicianspromise	10 10/1(+60%)	(3) Politicianspromise 10/1, Tailed off in a maiden hurdle in Ireland in 2021 and won once from 10 starts in points subsequently. Little in the way of promise upon return to Rules this year, brushed aside on handicap/chase debut in June. Cheekpieces fitted. Modest form on handicap/chase debut (2m1f); should be suited by step back up in trip.
11 7th (11) (22/1 -57%) School For Scandal	22 22/1(-57%)	(11) School For Scandal 22/1, Not the most reliable. Bounced back to form when second at Hereford in February but not the biggest surprise that he's failed to reproduce that in his 4 outings since. Has regressed and bled from the nose latest; has something to prove..
10 8th (10) (22/1 -389%) Invincible Wish	22 22/1(-389%)	(10) Invincible Wish 22/1, Veteran who confirmed he's back in good order when finally shedding maiden status at Stratford last month. Overall profile more of an issue than 3 lb rise. Gained a hard-fought win at Stratford latest; leading player back up 3lb.
9 \|PU\| (9) (11/4 +8%) She Has Notions	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(9) She Has Notions 11/4, Left previous efforts behind when scoring over this C&D in early July. Consistency hasn't been his strong suit this far but he needs considering on the back of that. Off the mark over C&D last month on just his third try over fences; up 5lb but respected..
1 \|PU\| (1) (12/1 +14%) Walkingoneggshells	12 12/1(+14%)	(1) Walkingoneggshells 12/1, Lightly-raced hurdler who hinted at promise first 2 starts over fences but took a major backward step over C&D last week (made a bad mistake). Needs to cut out the errors. Has made little impact in three starts over fences; others have stronger claims..
6 \|PU\| (6) (18/1 -29%) Sinister Minister	18 18/1(-29%)	(6) Sinister Minister 18/1, Finally got the job done when accounting for 5 rivals in a conditional jockeys' handicap at Bangor (20.3f, soft) in October. Let down by jumping first 2 starts back and then threw in a shocker at Uttoxeter. Back down in trip. Won at Bangor off 3lb higher in October but he's hard to recommend on recent form..
13 \|PU\| (13) (25/1 +0%) Beannaigh Do	25 25/1(+0%)	(13) Beannaigh Do 25/1, Has gone the wrong way since chase debut and he's a long way out of the handicap here. 19-race maiden; out of the weights but not entirely ruled out on peak efforts.
12 \|PU\| (12) (50/1 -52%) Mr Sociable	50 50/1(-52%)	(12) Mr Sociable 50/1, Well held in 3 outings over hurdles back from a long absence in 2022/23 and fared no better last season, including over fences on his 3 most recent starts. Easy enough to look elsewhere from out of the weights fitted with blinkers. Has shown little over fences and needs the new headgear to bring about big improvement..

16:40 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

SHE HAS NOTIONS accounted for his nearest rival by over two lengths in this grade over C&D last month and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 5lb for that triumph. Martin Keighley's seven-year-old looks to have lots in his favour and will prove tough to beat. Lost Connections has finished fourth on each of her last two starts over track and trip and she could get closer off the same mark. Stratford winner Invincible Wish is another to keep an eye on.

LOST CONNECTIONS is a pretty consistent operator at this sort of level, something that cannot be said for most of these, so she rates the percentage call. Harrys Hope is a potential improver switched to fences following a break, with last month's C&D scorer She Has Notions another to consider.

A tricky opener so it's probably best to side with the two last-time-out winners SHE HAS NOTIONS (nap) and Invincible Wish.

16:45 Bellewstown Maiden Hurdle 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (15/2 -150%) Millforce	7.5 15/2(-150%)	(1) Millforce 15/2, €30,000 3-y-o, Workforce gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser Whacker Clan. Dam ran once on Flat in France. Wide-margin winner of a maiden point in May and he's an interesting candidate on Rules debut. Deserved his maiden point win in May after three seconds, has joined a top stable.
2 2nd (2) (11/10 +27%) Arctic Gale	1.1 11/10(+27%)	(2) Arctic Gale 11/10, Fairly useful hurdler. One win from 2 runs last season. Good second of 6 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (23f, good to soft, 11/8) 16 days ago. High on the shortlist. Bumper winner, big chance on his Galway second, arguably unlucky at Ballinrobe.
3 3rd (3) (18/1 +28%) Ol Man Dingle	18 18/1(+28%)	(3) Ol Man Dingle 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Bit below form eleventh of 18 in novice hurdle at Galway (21f, good to soft, 50/1) 28 days ago. Others preferred. Fair fourth at Wexford in July but well held by Arctic Gale on running at Galway.
5 4th (5) (11/2 +69%) Slieve Carran	5.5 11/2(+69%)	(5) Slieve Carran 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Good fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good, 10/1) 33 days ago. Place possibilities. Point winner, second in a Thurles bumper last year, picked up a minor injury at Kilbeggan.
9 5th (9) (7/2 +13%) On Lovers Walk	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(9) On Lovers Walk 7/2, Fair hurdler. Very good second of 12 in claiming hurdle (15/2) at Clonmel (19f, good to soft) 104 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Gerard Kelleher and he's a leading contender. Two wins in points, placed five times over hurdles for his previous trainer, respected.
10 6th (10) (10/1 -54%) Pampar Lady	10 10/1(-54%)	(10) Pampar Lady 10/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs. 12/1, creditable third of 12 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Millforce is presumably the stable No 1. Placed four times, has experienced her share of misfortune, trainer also runs Millforce.
7 7th (7) (33/1 +34%) Jewel Of Windsor	33 33/1(+34%)	(7) Jewel Of Windsor 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. 100/1, tenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Galway (21f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 28 days ago. Yard saddles a far more appealing candidate in Arctic Gale. Placed in a point and bumper, remote tenth in Galway race in which Arctic Gale was second.
8 8th (8) (66/1 -32%) Comeonarchie	66 66/1(-32%)	(8) Comeonarchie 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form sixth of 11 in bumper at Downpatrick (18.8f, good, 16/1) 17 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Unlikely to be good enough on the evidence of four runs in bumpers since early in 2023.

16:45 Bellewstown Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ARCTIC GALE was just denied by a nose over 2m7f at Ballinrobe last time and can gain compensation. The bumper winner also filled the runner-up spot on his previous start behind Lightkeeper at the Galway Festival and that race has thrown up a couple of maiden winners since. Gavin Cromwell is doubly represented by point-to-point winner Millforce and Pampar Lady, who has been placed a number of times in maiden hurdles and steps up in trip receiving all the allowances. On Lovers Walk won twice in point-to-points and now joins Ross O'Sullivan after finishing second four times over hurdles.

MILLFORCE opened his account in good style between the flags when last seen in May and the 5-y-o is taken to make a successful start to his Rules career. He may have most to fear from Arctic Gale, who has found just one too good on each of his last two starts. That said, On Lovers Walk will also be a threat if he puts his best foot forward on debut for new connections.

Narrowly beaten after getting a bump at Ballinrobe, ARCTIC GALE is worth another chance based on his previous Galway second

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (85/40 +53%) Night On Earth	2.125 85/40(+53%)	(2) Night On Earth 85/40, 3 wins from 17 runs this year. Latest win at York in July. 33/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Beat 17 rivals at York last month but he's lost his way in last two starts; bit to prove.
6 2nd (6) (3/1 +45%) Albegone	3 3/1(+45%)	(6) Albegone 3/1, 3-time C&D winner. 3/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Could bounce back quickly and he's now 2 lb below his last winning mark. Triple C&D winner; should get a good pace and he looks interesting back at this track.
3 3rd (3) (25/1 -79%) Mini Magna	25 25/1(-79%)	(3) Mini Magna 25/1, Last of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, heavy, 66/1). Off 130 days. Not easy to make a case for. Mixed form since his last win 12 months ago and he's failed to beat a rival last twice.
1 4th (1) (11/4 -38%) Ready Freddie Go	2.75 11/4(-38%)	(1) Ready Freddie Go 11/4, C&D winner. 8/1 and blinkered for 1st time, won 9-runner handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago, keeping on well. Should go well again if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Made all in first-time blinkers at Thirsk latest; big player again off 4lb higher.
5 5th (5) (10/3 +5%) Glory Fighter	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(5) Glory Fighter 10/3, C&D winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in August. 9/4, creditable third of 6 in handicap at this C&D (firm) 9 days ago. Merits respect. Won at Musselburgh before a close third over C&D last Monday; in the mix again.

16:55 Catterick Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Glory Fighter, Spring Is Sprung and Night On Earth are all capable of setting warm fractions and this is likely to be fast and furious as a result. However, a strong tempo could set things up nicely for three-time C&D winner ALBEGONE, who is a highly appealing option running off a mark 2lb below the last of those successes. Ready Freddie Go also adds some spice on the back of his Thirsk triumph and can figure if the blinkers have the same impact second time around.

READY FREDDIE GO reacted well to blinkers when opening his account for the season at Thirsk last time and he's worth a chance to follow up for all that Spring Is Sprung looks a formidable threat. Albegone is well treated if he can get back on track returned to a course where he boasts a good record.

This could set up for a closer and the vote goes to ALBEGONE, who is now 2lb lower than for his smooth win over C&D in May.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (13/8 +46%) Eternal Sunshine	1.625 13/8(+46%)	(6) Eternal Sunshine 13/8, 3 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Ayr in July. Good second of 15 in handicap (10/3) at Ayr (6f, good) 18 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Went close last time, bidding for a four-timer; she has more to prove here and over 5f.
7 2nd (7) (5/1 -43%) Protest Rally	5 5/1(-43%)	(7) Protest Rally 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. 9/2, very good second of 9 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Can make presence felt. Goes well here; in the form of his life and looks all set for another bold show.
3 3rd (3) (4/1 -20%) Sugar Hill Babe	4 4/1(-20%)	(3) Sugar Hill Babe 4/1, Latest win at Ffos Las in July. Good head second of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good, 6/1) 9 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off an unchanged mark. Won a four-runner race at Ffos Las and went close from the front at Yarmouth nine days ago.
5 4th (5) (12/1 -100%) Zuffolo	12 12/1(-100%)	(5) Zuffolo 12/1, Latest win at Ayr in July. 10/3, creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 8 to Parisiac in handicap at Ayr (5f, good) 18 days ago. Shortlisted. Won penultimate start; ridden last three by claimer Rhys Elliott; probably thereabouts.
2 5th (2) (11/1 -120%) Parisiac	11 11/1(-120%)	(2) Parisiac 11/1, 7/2, landed 8-runner handicap at Ayr (5f, good) 18 days ago. Needs considering. Narrowly made all at Ayr (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago on second run for new yard.
4 6th (4) (14/1 +13%) Whisky Mcgonagall	14 14/1(+13%)	(4) Whisky Mcgonagall 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in April. Last of 18 in handicap (40/1) at York (5f, good to firm) 32 days ago, slowly away. Needs to get back on track. C&D winner; however, he's finished last back on turf for last two outings.
1 7th (1) (10/1 +50%) Call Me Ginger	10 10/1(+50%)	(1) Call Me Ginger 10/1, Fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Haydock (6f, firm, 33/1) 24 days ago. Chance on old form. 17lb lower than when winning at Ascot last September; badly out of form.

17:05 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The consistent ETERNAL SUNSHINE was only just touched off over 6f at Ayr when bidding for a four-timer earlier this month and this represents a good opportunity to return to winning ways. Jim Goldie's four-years-old was only beaten a neck on that occasion and a repeat of that effort could make her difficult to beat. Sugar Hill Babe was only denied by a head when second over 5f at Yarmouth last time and she is feared most, while Protest Rally is another to consider.

Lisa Williamson's SUGAR HILL BABE lost out by just a head at Yarmouth last time and can go one better here off the same mark. Eternal Sunshine is feared most in her bid for a fourth victory of 2024 with in-form duo Protest Rally and Street Life also in the mix.

With Eternal Sunshine back from 6f, PROTEST RALLY may prove the best option today, ahead of Sugar Hill Babe and Parisiac.

17:10 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 2) 23f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (13/2 -189%) Kinondo Kwetu	6.5 13/2(-189%)	(2) Kinondo Kwetu 13/2, Snapped a run of poor form when landing a 5-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good to firm), despite making a number of mistakes. The emphasis on stamina won't be so pronounced here but that's by no means a deal-breaker and he won't go down without a fight if in a similar mood. Regained the winning thread at Uttoxeter latest; strong claims off an unchanged mark..
1 2nd (1) (5/1 -122%) Hang In There	5 5/1(-122%)	(1) Hang In There 5/1, Produced a high-class effort to defy a BHA mark of 155 in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good to soft) in June. Beaten 10½ lengths behind Kinondo Kwetu over the same C&D since but he's 2-2 here, the drop back in trip may help and he'll have every chance if settling (too free last time). Eight chase wins; ran respectably off this mark behind Kinondo Kwetu latest; big player..
3 3rd (3) (7/2 +42%) Pull Again Green	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(3) Pull Again Green 7/2, Opened chase account in good style at Bangor (3m, good) last August before chasing home subsequent Cheltenham Festival scorer Chianti Classico at Chepstow. Well held over hurdles the last twice but trip/ground fine and capable of a very bold show if he puts his best foot forward back in this sphere. Capable 8yo but tailed off over hurdles latest; reverts to fences with something to prove..
5 4th (5) (7/1 -56%) Go On Chez	7 7/1(-56%)	(5) Go On Chez 7/1, Back-to-back hunter winner during the spring but never looked like justifying favouritism in the Summer Plate won by Hang In There at Uttoxeter when last seen in June. Out of the weights but capable claimer booked and conditions likely to be ideal..
4 5th (4) (5/2 +67%) Vintage Fizz	2.5 5/2(+67%)	(4) Vintage Fizz 5/2, Twice a winner of small-field handicap chases at around 2½m in 2023, and went close at Market Rasen on the second of his 3 starts since returning from a break in May. This return to a left-handed track will help but a career-best will be needed if he's to prevail here from 4 lb out of the handicap. Worth a try over this longer trip but isn't favoured at the weights..
6 6th (6) (11/2 +45%) Tiger Orchid	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(6) Tiger Orchid 11/2, Enhanced excellent record here when winning an 8-runner C&D handicap back from a break last month. However, he was put in his place in a lesser race than this at Perth since and is 7 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Three-time C&D winner but more required on this rise in class from out of the handicap..

17:10 Worcester Handicap Chase (Class 2) 23f Race Class Flow

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

KINONDO KWETU had Hang In There (third) behind when scoring by half a length over 3m2f at Uttoxeter last month and, with this drop back in trip unlikely to pose any problems, Sam England's charge can record the double. As for the latter, he could take closer order if he settles better this time around. Vintage Fizz is also worth a second look after his sixth in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen.

Probably best to focus on the trio in the handicap proper and PULL AGAIN GREEN could be worth chancing now returned to the larger obstacles. Kinondo Kwetu resumed winning ways at Uttoxeter with the re-opposing Hang In There back in third and while the latter may well finish closer this time, Sam England's charge is feared most.

Kinondo Kwetu is respected having beaten HANG IN THERE at Uttoxeter last month but the selection had a plausible excuse there.

18 (18) (20/1 -25%) King's Commander	20 20/1(-25%)	(18) King's Commander 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 8f on flat. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 7 in minor event at Galway (14.1f, soft, 50/1) 26 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. RESERVE.

Switches from Flat to hurdles. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut for top stable. Mostly well beaten in maiden hurdles but is worth a market check on handicap debut.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good, 12/1) 17 days ago, going in snatches.

4 5th (4) (25/1 -25%) Fremantle Doctor	25 25/1(-25%)	(4) Fremantle Doctor 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle (9/2) at Tramore (16.6f, good to soft) 10 days ago, going in snatches. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Good run over fences at Roscommon; poor effort to bounce back from at Tramore 10 days ago.
10 6th (10) (18/1 -64%) Agent Tequila	18 18/1(-64%)	(10) Agent Tequila 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft) 92 days ago. Up in trip. Point winner but has yet to cut any ice on the track; others much preferred.
11 7th (11) (12/1 +14%) Brogue Man River	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) Brogue Man River 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (22.4f, soft, 9/1). Off 6 months. One of 2 runners for a stable which does well in this race. Good run at Thurles; probably best watched on better ground after over six months off.
5 8th (5) (13/2 +35%) Hidalgo Des Mottes	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(5) Hidalgo Des Mottes 13/2, Respectable fourth of 11 in novice hurdle (22/1) at Tramore (20.4f, good) 13 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Good effort after 11 months off in a Tramore novice hurdle two weeks ago; each-way shout.
1 9th (1) (6/1 +33%) Harley Street	6 6/1(+33%)	(1) Harley Street 6/1, Below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (18.4f, good to soft, 7/2) 23 days ago. Remains one likely to click at some point. Well beaten favourite latest in a Cork handicap hurdle; needs to bounce back.
2 10th (2) (11/2 +15%) Inforapenny	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(2) Inforapenny 11/2, 9/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to firm) 53 days ago, having run of race. Up 5lb for his latest C&D win last month and has leading claims for his in-form stable.

6 12th (6) (12/1 -50%) High Honour	12 12/1(-50%)	(6) High Honour 12/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.4f, soft, 18/1) 7 days ago, all out. Getting better with each recent run. Sligo winner comes here in form but the step up in trip not guaranteed to suit.
9 \|PU\| (9) (7/1 -100%) Shana Cloon	7 7/1(-100%)	(9) Shana Cloon 7/1, Running creditably when fell in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, good to soft, 10/3) 125 days ago. Has good chance on form for yard with a strong recent record in this. Off since April; has tended to be a weak finisher but this easier track could well suit.
3 \|PU\| (3) (9/1 +18%) Seasett	9 9/1(+18%)	(3) Seasett 9/1, Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Galway (16.7f, soft) 24 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account Ran okay back to 2m at Galway last time; better over this sort of trip and should go well.

17:18 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

INFORAPENNY has gained both previous wins over this C&D including last time when prominent throughout and rallying well from the last to beat Hypersonic Missile. That was reward for some consistent efforts this year and he remains on a competitive mark. High Honour returned to form on soft ground at Sligo last week with Rockview Roman back in fourth and any rain will boost his claims while Seasett, Harley Street and Hidalgo Des Mottes are others to consider. Shana Cloon has been a frustrating sort to follow and again looked booked for minor honours last time when falling at the last at Wexford.

Gavin Cromwell might land a fourth successive win in this contest courtesy of SHANA CLOON, who was a model of consistency last season. St Denis's Well is well treated judged on his chase exploits and is second choice ahead of Shark Hanlon's Seasett and last week's Sligo scorer High Honour.

The selection though is INFORAPENNY(nap), who has done all of his winning over this C&D and should go close

8 1st (8) (9/1 +36%) Crocodile Power	9 9/1(+36%)	(8) Crocodile Power 9/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good, 4/1) 16 days ago. All three wins on AW and his form slumped at Ayr last time; not the percentage call.
5 2nd (5) (2/1 +11%) Profiteer	2 2/1(+11%)	(5) Profiteer 2/1, Winner at Thirsk in June. Good second of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 5/2) 19 days ago. Expected to be bang there. 3yo who has a good record in handicaps and he's still unexposed at this trip; big player.
7 3rd (7) (16/1 +36%) Piper's Fort	16 16/1(+36%)	(7) Piper's Fort 16/1, Winner at Yarmouth in June but well below that level in his 3 outings since. Won at Yarmouth (6f, soft) in June but he's been disappointing since; down the list.
4 4th (4) (14/1 +22%) Astapor	14 14/1(+22%)	(4) Astapor 14/1, Course winner. Latest win at Hamilton in May. 33/1, fifth of 11 in C&D handicap (good to firm) 22 days ago. Back on a winning mark but need to see more. Made all over 5f at Hamilton in May but he's been disappointing since; others preferred.
9 5th (9) (11/2 +31%) Nasneen	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(9) Nasneen 11/2, Third of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 37 days ago. Back down in trip. Needs to build on that Windsor run. Placed off a reduced mark at Windsor latest and he's not ruled out on this drop back to 6f.
1 6th (1) (16/1 -100%) Quercus	16 16/1(-100%)	(1) Quercus 16/1, Five-time C&D winner. Another good effort over C&D when second of 11 last month but well beaten back here since. Hard to predict but he's a course specialist who has claims if new headgear works.
6 7th (6) (10/1 -54%) Eldeyaar	10 10/1(-54%)	(6) Eldeyaar 10/1, C&D winner last autumn. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f, 20/1) 12 days ago. Last win was over C&D and he's reached the frame on AW last twice; possibilities.
3 8th (3) (5/2 +44%) Gis A Sub	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(3) Gis A Sub 5/2, Latest win at Ripon (6f) in July. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (6f, good, 15/2) 8 days ago. Merits consideration. Won at Ripon last month and was a good third at Nottingham last time; in the mix.

17:30 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

PROFITEER has produced two solid efforts to hit the crossbar in this grade the last twice and is only 2lb higher than for the latest of those displays at Thirsk. The son of Profitable has proven to be a consistent performer this year and he gets the nod. Gis A Sub was far from disgraced in third at Nottingham eight days ago and should remain competitive off the same mark, while Howzak is another to note after his third at Chepstow.

PROFITEER went down only to an improving 3-y-o at Thirsk last time and might prove the answer to the first division of this 6f handicap. Paul Midgley's Gis A Sub is feared most ahead of Eldeyaar, who arrives in form from AW and was successful over C&D just under a year ago.

Top of the list is the 3yo PROFITEER (nap), who has form figures of 3312522 in handicaps and is still unexposed at this trip.

17:40 Worcester NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (5/6 +100%) Queen Of The Vale	0.833333 5/6(+100%)	(2) Queen Of The Vale 5/6, Won 12-runner bumper (10/3) at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 58 days ago, kept up to work to score with something to spare. Should put up a bold bid to defy the penalty. Didn't go unbacked when making pretty much all for a 2l success here two months ago.
7 2nd (7) (11/2 +31%) Crazy About Her	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(7) Crazy About Her 11/2, Vadamos filly. Dam fairly useful 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Wears hood. Worth considering. Dam 1m2f winner (RPR 77), half-sister to 1m6f Listed winner Primitivo; hooded for debut.
1 3rd (1) (11/1 -267%) Versace Twentyone	11 11/1(-267%)	(1) Versace Twentyone 11/1, Maiden pointer who defied odds of 20/1 to make a successful Rules debut in a Roscommon bumper. Well ridden that day and has left a top yard since, but can't be dismissed. Nicked a clear lead and just held on to win on good ground at Roscommon for Gordon Elliott.
10 4th (10) (14/1 -40%) Polly Pi	14 14/1(-40%)	(10) Polly Pi 14/1, Doesn't make much appeal on pedigree but there was some encouragement in her debut sixth at Uttoxeter. Should build on that. Midfield finish at Uttoxeter (good) offered something for the future and should improve.
4 5th (4) (20/1 +0%) Heather Honey	20 20/1(+0%)	(4) Heather Honey 20/1, Not much promise in her debut fourth at Wetherby 7 months ago and looks the sort to develop further down the line. Fourth of 11 on soft ground at Wetherby in January but was beaten a distance.
5 6th (5) (17/2 +15%) Shakiyra	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(5) Shakiyra 17/2, Backed off the boards but held back by inexperience when last of 5 at Newton Abbot on debut last year, then showed a bit more when sixth to Queen of The Vale over C&D 58 days ago. Unlikely to turn that form around. Costly failure on debut and was a onepaced sixth behind Queen Of The Vale here last time.
3 7th (3) (50/1 -25%) Beorma	50 50/1(-25%)	(3) Beorma 50/1, Doyen mare. Dam, showed nothing sole start in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 33f) Firebird Flyer. Others are more appealing. Second foal; dam well beaten in bumper/2m4f hurdle; likely best watched.
6 8th (6) (13/2 +68%) Brionywells	6.5 13/2(+68%)	(6) Brionywells 13/2, Out of a winning chaser but there were few positives to be gleaned from her debut at Newbury 8 months ago. Has left Fergal O'Brien since. Ex-Fergal O'Brien; tailed off in a soft-ground Newbury bumper (28-1) before Christmas.
8 9th (8) (33/1 -136%) Dancing Green	33 33/1(-136%)	(8) Dancing Green 33/1, Telescope filly. Half-sister to useful 23f hurdle winner Doc Penfro, stayed 25f, and fair 3¼m hurdle winner/fairly useful staying chaser Juniper. Wears hood. Likely to need time and distance. Half-sister to winners Doc Penfro (2m7f hurdle) and Juniper (2m5f-3m2f hurdle/chase).

17:40 Worcester NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

QUEEN OF THE VALE made a highly encouraging bumper debut when scoring by two lengths over C&D last month and she could take a big step forward from that triumph. Jamie Snowden's four-year-old looks well placed to carry her penalty to success. Versace Twentyone is a fascinating contender on her first start for the Sheila Lewis stable after making a victorious debut under Rules at Roscommon last month and it will be interesting to see how she fares in the betting market, while Heather Honey can improve from her debut fourth in January.

QUEEN OF THE VALE made all in good style on debut here 2 months ago, showing an encouraging amount of speed for one bred to be suited by further, and she can defy a penalty. Versace Twentyone is a big player for a new yard, while Crazy About Her is a newcomer to note.

The two previous winners look the safest options and QUEEN OF THE VALE showed a good attitude here two months ago.

17:48 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 20f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (8/1 +43%) Barry Lyndon	8 8/1(+43%)	(5) Barry Lyndon 8/1, 12/1, below form eleventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Cheekpieces tried but probably needs to come down a bit in the handicap; others preferred.
10 2nd (10) (16/1 -100%) Crooked Tannie	16 16/1(-100%)	(10) Crooked Tannie 16/1, Creditable third of 14 in novice hurdle (8/1) at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Much respected. Went close a few times in maiden hurdles; first try in a handicap and looks fairly treated.
8 3rd (8) (9/1 +10%) Mister Beeton	9 9/1(+10%)	(8) Mister Beeton 9/1, Blinkered for 1st time, in midfield when fell 4 out in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.5f, good to soft, 16/1) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Still enters calculations. Touched off in a 3m handicap hurdle here last month before taking a bad fall at Galway.
2 4th (2) (16/1 -45%) Yeats Star	16 16/1(-45%)	(2) Yeats Star 16/1, Latest win in hurdle at Punchestown in November. 14/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, heavy) 166 days ago. Not seen since pulling up in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham and might be best watched.
3 5th (3) (8/1 +27%) Anna Bunina	8 8/1(+27%)	(3) Anna Bunina 8/1, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, below form eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.5f, soft) 25 days ago. Ran okay in a very valuable handicap hurdle at Galway last time; each-way chance.
14 6th (14) (12/1 +40%) Navigator Jack	12 12/1(+40%)	(14) Navigator Jack 12/1, Off 11 months, tiring when fell last in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Killarney (20.4f, good) 41 days ago. Can give a good account with that run under his belt. Stable back among the winners last week and could well outrun his likely odds.
9 7th (9) (10/1 -150%) Sea Music	10 10/1(-150%)	(9) Sea Music 10/1, Latest win in chase at Kilbeggan in June. Eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24.3f, soft, 10/3) 24 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Might just have found a second Galway run a bit beyond him; could be a leading player here.
13 8th (13) (7/1 -75%) Ta Na La	7 7/1(-75%)	(13) Ta Na La 7/1, 13/2, career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle at this C&D (good to firm) 53 days ago, driven clear. Not taken lightly. Got off the mark in a mares' maiden hurdle over C&D last month; ought to go well again.
11 9th (11) (12/1 +14%) Sequoiaspirit	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) Sequoiaspirit 12/1, Below form sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.3f, good, 9/2) 36 days ago. More is required. Disappointing back in maiden company at Ballinrobe last time but has a chance at his best.
15 10th (15) (14/1 +30%) That's About Right	14 14/1(+30%)	(15) That's About Right 14/1, Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for 1st time when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Looks competitive on form. headgear retained here; up 15lb in total but improving and could step up in hat-trick bid.
1 11th (1) (16/1 -78%) Visionarian	16 16/1(-78%)	(1) Visionarian 16/1, First run since leaving Peter Fahey when pulled up in minor event chase at Listowel (19f, good to soft) 86 days ago, still plenty to do circuit out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Pulled up in a Listowel chase on his stable debut in June; 16lb well in over hurdles.
4 12th (4) (40/1 -233%) Shesadream	40 40/1(-233%)	(4) Shesadream 40/1, One win from 3 runs last season. Pulled up in novice chase at Sligo (17.6f, heavy, 4/1) on debut over fences. Off 11 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Not seen since pulling up in a Sligo mares chase 11 months ago; best watched this time.
7 13th (7) (5/1 +9%) Mount Sinai	5 5/1(+9%)	(7) Mount Sinai 5/1, Off 7 months/hooded for 1st time, caught the eye under a patient ride when a running-on sixth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Back up in trip and a bold showing is on the cards. Galway eyecatcher; trip suits her well and she looks well capable of winning off this mark.
6 14th (6) (9/1 +25%) Cougar	9 9/1(+25%)	(6) Cougar 9/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Useful winner at 10f on flat. 33/1, below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (17.2f, good to firm) 53 days ago so more is needed. Looks ready for this step up in trip and the market will clarify his chance.
12 15th (12) (50/1 +0%) Aarons Day	50 50/1(+0%)	(12) Aarons Day 50/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (20.4f, good to soft, 33/1) 55 days ago, behind when pulled up before 2 out. Pulled up on both starts since returning from a year off; makes little appeal.

17:48 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SEA MUSIC won a Kilbeggan beginners chase over this trip in June and travelled well approaching the straight before finding Talk Of The Town too good in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival. He should be suited by this drop back in trip and may now have most to fear from Mount Sinai, who won a 2m4f Clonmel maiden hurdle on testing ground last autumn and should benefit from her reappearance when staying on well over an inadequate trip at Galway. Ta Na La won a maiden in good style over C&D last month, while bumper winner Crooked Tannie has been placed a number of times in maiden hurdles and is certainly of interest on his handicap debut.

MOUNT SINAI made a promising return when sixth at Galway last month and is fancied to take a sizeable step forward here. That's About Right heads the list of dangers on the back of his Wexford victory, although a solid case can also be made for Ta Na La, Sea Music and Crooked Tannie.

The selection is MOUNT SINAI, given a fair bit to do at Galway last time but likes this trip and looks well capable off this mark

18:00 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (11/1 +31%) Fiscal Policy	11 11/1(+31%)	(1) Fiscal Policy 11/1, First run since leaving Daniel & Claire Kubler when seventh of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (6f) on reappearance in March, badly hampered. Possibly best watched back from another break. Has not been at his best in last five runs and has bit to prove after another break.
3 2nd (3) (7/2 -5%) Highjacked	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(3) Highjacked 7/2, C&D winner in April. 10/3, respectable fifth of 11 in C&D handicap (good to firm) 35 days ago. One of the more likely types. Went very close over C&D on penultimate run and has claims if he can recapture that form.
9 3rd (9) (16/1 +20%) Parson's Meadow	16 16/1(+20%)	(9) Parson's Meadow 16/1, 16/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (1m, good to firm) 18 days ago. Back down in trip. 11-race maiden who has been hard to predict and others are more convincing.
6 4th (6) (15/2 +0%) Asadjumeirah	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(6) Asadjumeirah 15/2, Forty runs since last win in 2022. 13/2, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (6f, good) 76 days ago. Others more persuasive. Plenty of decent runs this year but his last win was in April 2022.
8 5th (8) (9/1 +44%) Golden Prosperity	9 9/1(+44%)	(8) Golden Prosperity 9/1, Course win over 5f this month but not in the same form twice since. Needs a return to this venue to spark a revival. Won here three weeks ago but he's been well held last twice and is 0-11 beyond 5f.
2 6th (2) (13/8 +28%) Rainbow Rain	1.625 13/8(+28%)	(2) Rainbow Rain 13/8, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Good second of 12 in C&D handicap (firm, 11/1) 9 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Placed in four of his last five runs including a close second over C&D latest; respected.
7 7th (7) (6/1 -71%) Malham Tarn Cove	6 6/1(-71%)	(7) Malham Tarn Cove 6/1, Winner at Bath in May. Creditable third of 13 in handicap back at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Won at Bath in May and was a close third back there (5,7f, good) last time; interesting.
5 8th (5) (50/1 -257%) Posh Maisie	50 50/1(-257%)	(5) Posh Maisie 50/1, 14/1, below form eleventh of 18 in handicap at Navan (6f, good to firm) 46 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Johnny Murtagh. Seven-race maiden with form figures of 0060 in Irish handicaps; lots to prove for new yard.

18:00 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

RAINBOW RAIN attempted to make every yard of the running but was denied by just under a length into second over track and trip last time. Tracy Waggott's five-year-old competes off the same rating and he could be the one to beat. Malham Tarn Cove made the frame at this level at Bath last month and he should go well off an unchanged mark, while Obligatory is another to consider as he steps back into handicap company.

RAINBOW RAIN is more consistent than the majority at this level and can deservedly get his head back in front. Highjacked has a win and second to his name over C&D this year and may give Tracy Waggott's charge most to do ahead of Malham Tarn Cove.

Preference is for MALHAM TARN COVE, who was as good as ever with his strong-finishing third over a shorter trip at Bath last time.

18:00 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (8/11 +52%) Dunamase	0.727273 8/11(+52%)	(3) Dunamase 8/11, Once-raced maiden. 10/3, third of 8 in maiden at Sandown (8f, good) on debut 20 days ago. That was an encouraging start to his career and improvement should be forthcoming. 500,000gns yearling; promising third at Sandown; seems sure to win races.
7 2nd (7) (8/1 -60%) Prince Of The Seas	8 8/1(-60%)	(7) Prince Of The Seas 8/1, 130,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to several winners, including 8.3f-1½m winner Ayrad and winner up to 9.5f Dawn of Hope (successful over 1m at 2 yrs), both smart. Every inch a likely type on paper and the market will be informative. 130,000gns yearling; by Sea The Stars; interesting newcomer; should be checked in market.
5 3rd (5) (10/3 -142%) Masubi	3.333333 10/3(-142%)	(5) Masubi 10/3, Foaled January 30. Too Darn Hot colt. Closely related to useful 1½m winner Alqamar and smart winner up to 15f Moonlight Spirit. Obvious appeal given his pedigree and powerful connections, and confidence behind him in the betting would look highly significant. Too Darn Hot colt; yard has an impressive strike-rate at Kempton this year; interesting.
9 4th (9) (4/1 +43%) Urban Glimpse	4 4/1(+43%)	(9) Urban Glimpse 4/1, Foaled March 5. Cityscape colt. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 7.6f/8.3f winner Urban Aspect (also by Cityscape) out of useful 1½m winner (stayed 2m) Casual Glance. Hails from a leading yard and the betting should be revealing with regard to expectations. From a family that has served his connections well; follow the market signals.
6 5th (6) (80/1 +20%) Northern Blaze	80 80/1(+20%)	(6) Northern Blaze 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in novice at Sandown (7f, good to firm, 50/1) 28 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line. Down the field in two races on turf.
10 6th (10) (250/1 -279%) Skyelight	250 250/1(-279%)	(10) Skyelight 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, last of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good) 46 days ago. Opposable. Weak claims on form.
11 7th (11) (80/1 -100%) Unex Friendly	80 80/1(-100%)	(11) Unex Friendly 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in maiden (40/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 8 days ago, worst of draw. Another who appears to be more of a handicapping prospect. Needs to improve on her 7f efforts.
4 8th (4) (20/1 -67%) Flamenco Bay	20 20/1(-67%)	(4) Flamenco Bay 20/1, Foaled March 21. €72,000 foal, €115,000 yearling, New Bay colt. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Yard in good form recently and it will be interesting to see which way this debutant goes in the betting. 115,000euros yearling by New Bay; stable is 0-7 with 2yos this term.
2 9th (2) (300/1 -200%) Coisty	300 300/1(-200%)	(2) Coisty 300/1, Foaled April 12. Sixties Icon gelding. Brother to 11.4f-1¾m winner Steel An Icon and half-brother to 1¼m-11f winner Tommys Geal and 1m winner Miss Recycled. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers and it's probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion. Brother to a bumper/Flat winner; yard has modest strike-rate with 2yos.
8 10th (8) (100/1 0%) Rue D'etoile	100 100/1(0%)	(8) Rue D'etoile 100/1, Foaled February 20. 1,000 gns yearling, Advertise gelding. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Cymric. Limited appeal on paper. 1,000gns yearling by Advertise; trainer's first 2yo runner.

18:00 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Masubi is bred to stay well on the dam's side of his pedigree, being a three-parts brother to a Group 3 winner over 1m7f, and Charlie Appleby's colt is likely to enter calculations on debut. However, the experience gained by DUNAMASE when third on his first start at Sandown could prove to be the deciding factor. The son of Kingman kept on well in the closing stages and is expected to build on that display. Prince Of The Seas heads the remainder.

MASUBI ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and it will be an ominous sign for his rivals if the market speaks in his favour. The Too Darn Hot colt will need to be pretty decent, though, as Dunamase has already shown plenty of ability, while there are other likely-looking newcomers on show, too, namely (in racecard order) Flamenco Bay, Prince of The Seas and Urban Glimpse.

The one who makes most appeal is DUNAMASE who looks very likely to improve on his promising Sandown debut third.

18:10 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (6/5 +31%) Letterston Lily	1.2 6/5(+31%)	(8) Letterston Lily 6/5, Bumper winner at the third attempt who followed up in 6-runner mares' novice (3/1) at Cartmel (17f, good to soft) on hurdle debut in June. Chased home the useful Gale Mahler at Market Rasen (20.5f) since. Likely capable of even better. Chased home a subsequent Listed winner at Market Rasen; high on the list..
2 2nd (2) (10/1 -67%) Ebony Warrior	10 10/1(-67%)	(2) Ebony Warrior 10/1, Made little impact in a brace of bumpers but different story in 2m hurdles here this summer, building on debut third when scoring by 4 lengths 5 weeks ago. Up in trip. Likely has more to offer. Has to defy a penalty for his recent course win but could improve for this longer trip..
1 3rd (1) (6/4 +0%) Al Gasparo	1.5 6/4(+0%)	(1) Al Gasparo 6/4, Produced a useful effort when making all in a Killarney maiden in May. Raced too freely when fifth in listed hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good, 3/1) 11 weeks later but big shout here if back to the Killarney form. Made all at Killarney in May; well held in Listed company latest but this is easier..
3 4th (3) (11/2 +31%) Full Monty	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(3) Full Monty 11/2, Progressive form over hurdles, winning 2½m Uttoxeter maiden (good to firm) last month. From a leading stable so there could be more to come. Progressing well and broke the course record when opening his account latest, respected..
4 5th (4) (150/1 -127%) Connolly	150 150/1(-127%)	(4) Connolly 150/1, Well held in bumpers and over hurdles. Booked for another struggle. Well beaten at huge odds on both completed hurdling starts (2m3f/2m)..
9 6th (9) (150/1 -355%) Hurley Girly	150 150/1(-355%)	(9) Hurley Girly 150/1, Third on bumper debut in April but beaten a long way in another bumper and 2 course hurdles since. Makes little appeal having been beaten a long way on both starts over hurdles..
6 7th (6) (33/1 -65%) Matchadam	33 33/1(-65%)	(6) Matchadam 33/1, Point winner. Tongue tied and showed promise when fourth of 13 in a Hereford bumper on Rules debut last autumn but well held in 2 outings over hurdles this summer and probably more one for handicaps after this. Point winner who's been beaten wide margins on both starts over hurdles; others preferred..

18:10 Worcester Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

LETTERSTON LILY lost little in defeat when finding only subsequent Irish Listed scorer Gale Mahler too strong at Market Rasen last month and compensation could be imminent. Although Al Gasparo finished in fifth behind that winner at Galway, he could be dangerous if gaining an easy lead. Gavin Cromwell's charge is unlikely here to just make up the numbers and he's feared most, ahead of fellow penalised winners Ebony Warrior and Full Monty.

Gavin Cromwell Irish raider AL GASPARO gets a narrow vote ahead Letterston Lily, who bumped into the useful Gale Mahler at Market Rasen last time. Last month's 2m course scorer Ebony Warrior may prove best of the remainder.

Al Gasparo isn't passed over lightly but preference is for LETTERSTON LILY who chased home a subsequent Listed winner last time.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (5/2 +29%) Royal Hollow	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(6) Royal Hollow 5/2, Fair hurdler. Career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle (13/8) at Ballinrobe (17.3f, good) 36 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Should progress and she should be in the mix, for all that this is tougher. Got away with an untidy round of jumping when running away with a maiden at Ballinrobe.
3 2nd (3) (12/1 +0%) Dame Rapide	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Dame Rapide 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 11/1, creditable third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good) 41 days ago. Each-way chance. Ran up to her handicap mark at Killarney but will probably need more than that now.
4 3rd (4) (6/1 -9%) Disco Dancer	6 6/1(-9%)	(4) Disco Dancer 6/1, Fairly useful hurdler. One win from 3 runs last season. Latest win in hurdle at Cork in July. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, good, 6/1) 13 days ago. Should make her presence felt. Useful form in recent months, consistent in six outings before meeting trouble on latest.
5 4th (5) (10/3 -142%) Four Clean Aces	3.333333 10/3(-142%)	(5) Four Clean Aces 10/3, Fairly useful hurdler. Career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft, 6/4) 18 days ago, readily. Open to progress and helps give the Willie Mullins yard (also represented by Crack The Sky) a very strong hand. Dual bumper winner, now getting the hang of things over hurdles, going left may suit.
8 5th (8) (50/1 0%) Cleopatra's Needle	50 50/1(0%)	(8) Cleopatra's Needle 50/1, Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Ninth of 16 in novice hurdle (20/1) at Roscommon (15.4f, soft) 22 days ago. Hood on for 1st time in this code, tongue strap on for 1st time in this code. Low-rated Flat handicapper 1-22, has run twice over hurdles, will need a handicap mark.
2 6th (2) (9/4 +18%) Crack The Sky	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(2) Crack The Sky 9/4, Fairly useful Flat winner. Promising sort. Won 7-runner novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 5/6) 18 days ago, easily. Looks promising and she's probably the one to beat, for all that Paul Townend seemingly prefers Four Clean Aces. Win easily from a 112-rated gelding at Kilbeggan recently, further progress likely.
1 7th (1) (8/1 -7%) Amanha	8 8/1(-7%)	(1) Amanha 8/1, Fair hurdler. 9/1 and hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.4f, soft) on hurdles bow 22 days ago, going clear. Likely to improve. Promising form in bumpers, made a bright start over hurdles with 5l win at Roscommon.
7 8th (7) (250/1 -150%) All Biz	250 250/1(-150%)	(7) All Biz 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Roscommon (20.2f, soft) 22 days ago, pulled up before 3 out. Has struggled in two maiden hurdle outings, out of her depth here against previous winners.

18:18 Bellewstown Conditions Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

With stable jockey Paul Townend in the saddle, the Willie Mullins-trained FOUR CLEAN ACES can follow up her recent win at Kilbeggan. A dual bumper winner, the six-year-old took five attempts to open her account over flights. However, given the manner of her victory at the County Westmeath track, it would be no surprise to see the mare make up for lost time in the coming weeks. Crack The Sky, also trained by Mullins, couldn't have done it any easier when shedding her maiden tag at Kilbeggan earlier this month. While jockey bookings suggest that she is the stable second string, there may not be much between the pair. Ballinrobe winner Royal Hollow is another that should be capable of getting involved.

Presumably Paul Townend was given the choice between CRACK THE SKY and Four Clean Aces, so the fact that he's aboard the latter may well be significant. However, Crack The Sky is nevertheless preferred on the back of a pretty impressive reappearance success at Kilbeggan where she appeared to benefit from being ridden with more restraint compared to her first two starts in this sphere. Royal Hollow is third choice ahead of Amanha and Disco Dancer.

Paul Townend rode FOUR CLEAN ACES and Crack The Sky to victory on the same Kilbeggan card so his choice is a significant pointer

18:30 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (1/2 +100%) Upscale	0.5 1/2(+100%)	(10) Upscale 1/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, creditable second of 10 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and will surely go close if she takes to this surface. Hasn't progressed in the expected manner but brings the best form to this AW debut.
7 2nd (7) (66/1 -65%) Saigon Dream	66 66/1(-65%)	(7) Saigon Dream 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 7/1, fourth of 5 in maiden at Brighton (7f, good) on debut 8 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Likely to be seen in a better light when going down the handicap route further down the line. Brighton effort wasn't devoid of promise but he needs to improve a good deal.
2 3rd (2) (9/1 +25%) Boss Dog	9 9/1(+25%)	(2) Boss Dog 9/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 14 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f, 50/1) on debut 26 days ago. May well do better with that experience to draw upon here and he's worth considering each-way. Showed ability with his fifth of 14 in Southwell maiden; open to improvement.
5 4th (5) (7/2 +13%) Makes Sense	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) Makes Sense 7/2, Twice-raced maiden. 10/11, second of 6 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Moving back up in trip looks a good move and he's a strong candidate. Clear promise in novice events at Salisbury, finishing second both times; major player.
6 5th (6) (100/1 0%) Patch's Bond	100 100/1(0%)	(6) Patch's Bond 100/1, Sir Percy gelding. Brother to 1¼m winner Star of Epsom and half-brother to 7f/1m winner Princesse Animale. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Probably best watched on debut. From a family that has served his trainer well; promising effort may be on the way.
3 6th (3) (28/1 -273%) Dooley	28 28/1(-273%)	(3) Dooley 28/1, €45,000 foal, £80,000 yearling, Magna Grecia gelding. Half-brother to 2m winner Huscari. Dam, ran once, closely related to very smart US Grade 2 1m/9f winner Cowboy Cal. Very much one to note in the betting. £80,000 yearling; Magna Grecia half-brother to a 2m AW winner; check the betting.
9 7th (9) (17/2 -55%) Believe It	8.5 17/2(-55%)	(9) Believe It 17/2, Dark Angel filly. Sister to 6f winner Abbey Heights. Yard isn't a source of regular winning newcomers but this filly is well worth a second look in the betting all the same. Sister to a triple 6f winner for her connections; interesting newcomer.
4 8th (4) (150/1 -50%) Jaamir	150 150/1(-50%)	(4) Jaamir 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in novice at Southwell (7.1f, 66/1) on debut 10 days ago, not knocked about. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Southwell effort doesn't suggest he's an imminent winner.
1 9th (1) (33/1 -500%) Foreseen	33 33/1(-500%)	(1) Foreseen 33/1, Fairly useful gelding. Hooded for 1st time, eighth of 10 in minor event at Chantilly (8f, good to soft). Gelded/undergone a wind op ahead of this debut for new connection/first run on polytrack and may prove vulnerable under a penalty from stall 10. Raced twice in France, winning on debut; sold for 5,000gns since last run.
8 10th (8) (150/1 -50%) Ultimate Sapphire	150 150/1(-50%)	(8) Ultimate Sapphire 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1, seventh of 10 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) on debut 13 days ago. Readily passed over. Finished 10l behind Upscale in Salisbury event and needs a big step forward.

18:30 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MAKES SENSE has shown a fair amount of promise on both starts to date at Salisbury, finishing runner-up on each occasion, and the return to 7f is likely to see him shed the maiden tag. Upscale has the ability to be competitive but consistency hasn't been her strongest point and a relatively quick turnaround might be a concern. With that in mind, Saigon Dream could step forward from his first run at Brighton and emerge as the main threat.

UPSCALE found just one too good for the third time from five career starts at Salisbury last time and this well-bred filly is presented with a golden opportunity to deservedly get her head in front. Next on the list is Makes Sense but newcomer Dooley and Boss Dog also make some appeal.

Form pick UPSCALE is taken, albeit somewhat tentatively, to open her account at the sixth attempt. Makes Sense is second choice.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (5/1 +0%) Kitesurfer	5 5/1(+0%)	(3) Kitesurfer 5/1, French juvenile winner in 2022 who got off the mark at the fifth time of asking for current yard when taking 6-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell in June. Yet to make his move when falling 4 out at Uttoxeter since. Fontwell winner who was going okay when falling off this 5lb higher mark at Uttoxeter.
7 2nd (7) (5/1 +0%) Hillsin	5 5/1(+0%)	(7) Hillsin 5/1, Certainly wasn't winning out of turn at Newton Abbot (18.5f) in May and duly followed up over 2½m here in June. Another good effort when second of 14 over 23f at Uttoxeter last month. Has to be respected in his current mood. Came up short in his hat-trick bid at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) but again ran well.
6 3rd (6) (7/1 -40%) Mahler Moon	7 7/1(-40%)	(6) Mahler Moon 7/1, In top hands and looked to be getting his act together over hurdles when placed in 3m handicaps at Doncaster and Newbury at the beginning of 2024. Disappointing at Southwell in April but capable of bouncing back after a break. Still a maiden but has a good chance if back to his best after a break.
8 4th (8) (4/1 +20%) Kiss My Face	4 4/1(+20%)	(8) Kiss My Face 4/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap over C&D (good) 34 days ago, forging clear to win by a whopping 31 lengths. A 10 lb rise may not stop him. Won by a distance here last time in a race that fell apart; raised 10lb.
10 5th (10) (17/2 +39%) No Way Pedro	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(10) No Way Pedro 17/2, C&D winner in July. Good third under a penalty back here a week later but needs to shrug off a lesser run (C&D again) last week. Hat-trick last year and back to that sort of level this summer; excuses here last week.
5 6th (5) (17/2 +39%) Craven Bay	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(5) Craven Bay 17/2, Progressive last summer, culminating with a C&D maiden win. Off 11 months, made a respectable start to his handicap career when sixth of 14 in a 23f Uttoxeter handicap 33 days ago. Entitled to come on for the outing. C&D maiden winner; well beaten after a long break on handicap debut at Uttoxeter.
4 7th (4) (12/1 -50%) Red Hugh	12 12/1(-50%)	(4) Red Hugh 12/1, Point winner who reached the frame in 2 bumpers in Ireland for Emmet Mullins and has made a promising start to his hurdle career at this course for his new yard in recent months, taking a maiden over this trip 6 weeks ago. Brings unexposed potential to this handicap debut. Recent C&D maiden winner and this mark might be okay on handicap debut.
1 8th (1) (16/1 -129%) Art Approval	16 16/1(-129%)	(1) Art Approval 16/1, His losing run goes back nearly 3 years but he was placed over C&D and at Stratford for Ralph Smith this summer. Claims if showing up in the same form for his new trainer. Can go well again off this mark provided another change of stable doesn't rock the boat.
11 9th (11) (9/1 +73%) Emotional Roller	9 9/1(+73%)	(11) Emotional Roller 9/1, First sign of promise under Rules when third of 12 on 2½m Wetherby handicap debut on Boxing Day. Fell next time and didn't offer much obvious encouragement in 2 comeback outings in June. Placed on Boxing Day but has to get back on track following subsequent disappointments.
2 10th (2) (22/1 -38%) Ballinsker	22 22/1(-38%)	(2) Ballinsker 22/1, Successful over fences at Ffos Las (19f, good to soft) in April but not in the same form back there in May. Reverts to hurdles after a 3-month break. Back over hurdles and has the form to feature, but he's become hard to predict.
12 \|PU\| (12) (33/1 -136%) Princess Unique	33 33/1(-136%)	(12) Princess Unique 33/1, First form over hurdles when fourth of 9 in handicap at Market Rasen (20.5f, good to firm, 40/1) 52 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. 9 lb out of the weights so needs big improvement to go close. 9lb wrong but 5lb claimer employed and she's unexposed over staying distances.

18:40 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Although it was too early to tell how competitive KITESURFER would have been when falling at the ninth hurdle at Uttoxeter last month, he likely has more to come over staying distances judged on his penultimate 3m2f victory at Fontwell. Jamie Snowden's gelding is fancied to go close if over that mishap and he edges the verdict ahead of Hillsin. The six-year-old finished second in the same race as the selection's fall and another prominent showing is forecast. Last-time-out C&D winners Red Hugh and Kiss My Face are also noted.

KISS MY FACE had them so well strung out over C&D last month that even a 10 lb rise is potentially lenient. The thriving Hillsin, last month's C&D maiden winner Red Hugh and Dan Skelton's Mahler Moon head the many possible dangers in a competitive race.

An open race. MAHLER MOON has had a break since his latest below-par run and he had previously improved for going up in distance.

Should be more to come in this sphere for top yard so claims looks fairly obvious. Wide-margin winner of a Flat handicap at Killarney six weeks ago, unexposed over hurdles.
6 2nd (6) (11/1 -100%) Sydney Cruiser	11 11/1(-100%)	(6) Sydney Cruiser 11/1, Creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Ballinrobe (16.8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Can make presence felt. Best form has been at Ballinrobe, beaten 7l in fourth in May and 3l third on latest.

18:48 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Given the ease with which he won on the flat at Killarney last month, it is difficult to ignore the claims of CHUTZPAL back over hurdles. Having had just the four starts over flights for previous connections, the five-year-old looks seriously well handicapped off just 95 in this bottom grade. Getaway Henry won at Wexford last month, before finishing third off a revised mark at that same venue last time. Daniel O'Leary's seven-year-old will need to take another step forward here but as an in-form gelding he has to be respected. Bella Be Good improved on previous efforts when runner-up at Wexford on her most recent outing. Although she needs to back up that performance, the Edward Cawley-trained mare has to be considered.

A big field but it's hard to get away from CHUTZPAL, who made his second start for his leading yard a winning one on the level last month and this mark looks well within range back hurdling. Sydney Cruiser, Getaway Henry and Bella Be Good are a trio of potential threats.

The manner of his Flat win at Killarney implies that CHUTZPAL has an excellent chance on his first hurdles run for this stable

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

COGNISANCE made the perfect start to her career at Redcar, despite showing signs of inexperience in the closing stages. A well-related daughter of Sea The Stars, she is in the right hands to step forward from that initial performance in a contest lacking depth on paper. Leadman has filled the runner-up spot on all four outings so far and is expected to play a similar role once again, while Port Road and Calanthe appear best of the remainder.

COGNISANCE looked above average when readily accounting for six rivals in a Redcar novice at the end of last month and, with the promise of better to come from this Sea The Stars filly, she is taken to see off Leadman and likely-looking newcomer Beshert.

Leadman holds leading form claims but is proving very expensive to follow. The strongest alternative is COGNISANCE.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (10/1 -43%) Pisgah Pike	10 10/1(-43%)	(1) Pisgah Pike 10/1, Arrives in decent nick, eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Not ruled out off a 2 lb lower mark. This is easier than the latest Class 2 he contested and he wasn't disgraced then.
8 2nd (8) (10/1 +29%) Shelikesthelights	10 10/1(+29%)	(8) Shelikesthelights 10/1, Had a wind op before being pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) 132 days ago. A fair 2m winner at his best but he needs to bounce back. Has lost her way since winning twice early last year and now has a lot to prove.
7 3rd (7) (9/2 -64%) Jumeirah King	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(7) Jumeirah King 9/2, Bagged his second C&D win this summer in 7-runner novice (good) 41 days ago. Remains handily weighted back in handicap company so merits serious consideration. Third in a handicap before making all in a C&D novice most recently.
10 4th (10) (17/2 -21%) Jack The Savage	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(10) Jack The Savage 17/2, Comes here in decent form without winning, third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 42 days ago. Merits consideration off an easing mark. Well handicapped and it was a respectable run at Uttoxeter last time when only 4l away.
2 5th (2) (10/1 -100%) Donnie Azoff	10 10/1(-100%)	(2) Donnie Azoff 10/1, Got back on track when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Can give another good account despite a 2 lb rise. First and second over hurdles on either side of a return to fences.
4 6th (4) (7/1 +30%) Playtogetaway	7 7/1(+30%)	(4) Playtogetaway 7/1, C&D winner who posted a creditable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Needs considering. Had no obvious excuses when behind Donnie Azoff at Uttoxeter.
3 7th (3) (4/1 +20%) Grivetana	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Grivetana 4/1, Made a winning start for new connections at Southwell (15.8f) in May and in good nick since, fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Merits respect once more. Resurgent for new yard and it was in a higher grade when an 8l fourth at Cartmel.
6 8th (6) (11/2 +8%) Doctor Parnassus	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(6) Doctor Parnassus 11/2, Off 6 months/rejoined former yard (formerly with Richard O'Brien) when a below-par sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good) 45 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time with more required. Dropped out at Stratford on return for former yard and doesn't look as good as he was.
5 \|PU\| (5) (10/1 +29%) Sea Prince	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) Sea Prince 10/1, C&D winner in June but only seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Recent C&D winner but opposable on his latest Uttoxeter run when behind Donnie Azoff.
9 \|PU\| (9) (33/1 -32%) Call Me Rocky	33 33/1(-32%)	(9) Call Me Rocky 33/1, Bagged a pair of wins for Milton Harris last summer but well held all three starts for Syd Hosie, pulled up on his chasing bow at Stratford in June. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence. Well treated but lost his way badly after leaving Milton Harris and tried chasing latest.

19:10 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Both of JUMEIRAH KING's victories over timber have come over C&D and the four-year-old makes plenty of appeal on his second attempt in handicap company. Anthony Honeyball's gelding is capable of further improvement and gets the vote at the main expense of Donnie Azoff, who finished second at Uttoxeter last time when switched back to hurdles. Others for the shortlist include Grivetana and Sea Prince.

A few with chances but JUMEIRAH KING remains on a lenient mark on the back of his C&D novice success so gets the vote. Grivetana continues in good form for Harry Derham and heads the list of dangers, while in-form duo Pisgah Pike and Playtogetaway also need factoring in. Jack The Savage completes the shortlist.

Jumeirah King is getting it together over hurdles but PISGAH PIKE is respected after a fair effort in better company last time.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (4/1 +0%) Due Course	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Due Course 4/1, 7/2, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) 44 days ago. Back down in trip. Tongue strap back on. Not long with this yard and may yet do better. Point winner, not a big price on his first two starts in handicaps, worth considering.
13 2nd (13) (12/1 +14%) Hollow Spark	12 12/1(+14%)	(13) Hollow Spark 12/1, 14/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 21 days ago, tailing off 3 out. Something to prove. Hard to be confident after a recent failure at Wexford, place chance if bouncing back.
12 3rd (12) (14/1 -40%) Cottage Artist	14 14/1(-40%)	(12) Cottage Artist 14/1, Unreliable individual. 28/1, good fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not sure to be in the same form. Has been running well lately off this mark, trainer has a great record with older horses.
11 4th (11) (40/1 +20%) A La Carte	40 40/1(+20%)	(11) A La Carte 40/1, 40/1, first run since leaving Miss Elizabeth Doyle when ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Showed very little in bumpers/hurdles for Liz Doyle, no better on stable debut at Wexford.
5 5th (5) (9/2 +0%) Grizabella	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(5) Grizabella 9/2, Winner in hurdle at Wexford in July. 6/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Should remain competitive. Perhaps the most appealing of these on recent evidence, has shown useful form at Wexford.
1 6th (1) (16/5 -7%) Malbas	3.2 16/5(-7%)	(1) Malbas 16/5, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. Good second of 19 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Down Royal (17f, soft), travelling strongly. Off 8 months. Not taken lightly. Three Flat wins, off since second in a handicap hurdle last December, fair chance if ready.
9 7th (9) (18/1 -29%) Leviosa	18 18/1(-29%)	(9) Leviosa 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Modest winner at 9f on flat. Thirteenth of 18 in handicap (10/1) at Cork (8.9f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Two good runs on the Flat before a disappointing display 12 days ago, of some interest.
4 8th (4) (33/1 +34%) Lucky Junior	33 33/1(+34%)	(4) Lucky Junior 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Big price when down the field on handicap debut, trainer/rider combination merits respect.
6 9th (6) (33/1 -65%) Medadthebookie	33 33/1(-65%)	(6) Medadthebookie 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good, 66/1) 44 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Ordinary form in three maiden outings, very hard to make a case for him.
16 10th (16) (17/2 +23%) Shining Aitch	8.5 17/2(+23%)	(16) Shining Aitch 17/2, Ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 22/1) 13 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Creditable on last hurdle outing. First hurdles run since unplaced in this race last year, two Dundalk wins in the interim.
7 11th (7) (12/1 +14%) Aill Dubh	12 12/1(+14%)	(7) Aill Dubh 12/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.4f, soft, 10/1) 7 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs the headgear to perk him up. Down the field in a handicap at Sligo last time, better effort in a maiden previously.
10 12th (10) (11/1 +21%) The Border Boy	11 11/1(+21%)	(10) The Border Boy 11/1, Eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Cork (18.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Worth a market check. Two moderate runs at Cork since a respectable fifth at Tramore, first time tongue-tie.
8 13th (8) (14/1 0%) Neev's Dream	14 14/1(0%)	(8) Neev's Dream 14/1, First run since leaving T. Gibney when pulled up in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 21 days ago, losing touch 3 out. Others make more appeal. Unplaced joint-favourite for a division of this race last year, pulled up on stable debut.
2 \|PU\| (2) (16/1 -129%) Buttoned Up	16 16/1(-129%)	(2) Buttoned Up 16/1, Promising type. 12/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cork (18.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago, not knocked about. Remains with potential and warrants a market check. Sister to the talented Andy Dufresne, made no impact at Cork in her first handicap.
15 \|PU\| (15) (50/1 -100%) Masterstonemason	50 50/1(-100%)	(15) Masterstonemason 50/1, Two wins from 45 NH runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 7 in novice chase at Galway (18.2f, good, 200/1) 29 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Has won twice over hurdles but a long time since he has shown worthwhile form.
14 \|PU\| (14) (66/1 -32%) Kp's Ladyofknock	66 66/1(-32%)	(14) Kp's Ladyofknock 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (80/1) at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 21 days ago, losing touch 3 out. Weak form in maidens, big price when pulled up at Wexford in her first handicap.

19:18 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The Shark Hanlon-trained GRIZABELLA is probably still well enough handicapped over flights to add another win here. Successful at Wexford in July, the mare returned to that same track last time, where she finished a respectable fourth of 13. Given a rating of 56 on the Flat, one would imagine that she still has some scope for improvement off her current hurdles mark. Malbas ran a big race when runner-up at Down Royal over Christmas but has been absent since. With the winner franking that form subsequently, the John McConnell-trained top-weight should be capable of getting involved if ready after an absence. Former point-to-point winner Due Course is almost certainly capable of better than he has shown under Rules to date.

BUTTONED UP failed to improve for the switch to handicaps last time but things didn't go right and she was spared a hard race, so she's worth another chance to up her game. Malbas is an obvious player if tuned up for his reappearance and Due Course isn't one to give up on.

John McConnell has saddled a few winners in recent weeks and that augurs well for MALBAS on his first outing since last Christmas

19:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (5/6 +67%) Carpathian	0.833333 5/6(+67%)	(3) Carpathian 5/6, Good second of 10 in handicap (9/2) at this course (11f) 16 days ago. Expected to be bang there once again off just a 1 lb higher mark. Still a maiden but went close at this course most recently with usual hood removed.
1 2nd (1) (40/1 -60%) Bluenose Belle	40 40/1(-60%)	(1) Bluenose Belle 40/1, Course winner. Last of 12 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm, 100/1) 17 days ago. Needs to bounce back in a major way. Won here in early 2023; two duck eggs this term leave a big doubt over her current form.
4 3rd (4) (18/1 -200%) Ghost Story	18 18/1(-200%)	(4) Ghost Story 18/1, Twice-raced winner. Won 6-runner novice (25/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 40 days ago, slowly away. More one her plate now pitched into a handicap. Won at Nottingham last month on second start; likely player granted further progress.
5 4th (5) (7/2 -40%) Birkin	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(5) Birkin 7/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in novice at this C&D (6/1) 21 days ago. In good hands and may well take a step forward now handicapping but she will certainly need to in order to emerge on top. Nicely bred and has the potential to be much better than her opening mark; interesting.
7 5th (7) (14/1 +58%) Sapphire Sirocco	14 14/1(+58%)	(7) Sapphire Sirocco 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at this course (11f) 77 days ago. Possible that she will be seen in a better light now handicapping. Bare form suggests she's less interesting than the other handicap debutantes.
2 6th (2) (16/1 -191%) Clear Storm	16 16/1(-191%)	(2) Clear Storm 16/1, Winner at Nottingham in May. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) 54 days ago. First run for yard after leaving William Haggas. Solid claims. In good form for William Haggas but likely needs some progress to score on stable debut.
6 7th (6) (5/1 -67%) Tuneful	5 5/1(-67%)	(6) Tuneful 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, excellent second of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 7/4) when last seen in February. Looks sure to benefit from this stiffer test and she will have every chance if taking to this surface. Improved effort on handicap debut when last seen; could well take another step forward.

19:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

CARPATHIAN must hold every chance on the back of a career-best effort when second over a furlong shorter here recently. The way she finished her race on that occasion suggested that stepping up in trip could be a good move, and she can get off the mark at the main expense of handicap debutant Ghost Story, who was in control late when scoring at Nottingham last month. Making her first start for new connections after a creditable effort at Haydock in July, Clear Storm should be monitored for market support.

There should be better to come from TUNEFUL, who was doing her best work at the finish when runner-up over 9.5f at Wolverhampton last time. She is taken to go one better this time, with Carpathian likely to emerge as the main danger ahead of Clear Storm.

Having finished a good second in a similar event here last time, CARPATHIAN could well go one better. Birkin is feared most.

19:40 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (4/1 -33%) My Chiquita	4 4/1(-33%)	(4) My Chiquita 4/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles who came in an excellent second at Aintree (2m4f) in May. In good nick since on the Flat so he's very much one to consider back in this sphere. Four good runs over hurdles and has continued to run well on the Flat; has a chance.
6 2nd (6) (11/2 +21%) Finisk River	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(6) Finisk River 11/2, C&D winner who took a step back in the right direction when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good) 45 days ago. One to consider off a falling mark. Handicapper is relenting and latest Stratford run wasn't too shoddy.
8 3rd (8) (17/2 -42%) Pop The Champagne	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(8) Pop The Champagne 17/2, Course winner who wasn't disgraced when sixth in handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Possibilities back in this sphere. Placed in her last two handicap hurdles and mark hasn't really gone anywhere.
11 4th (11) (12/1 +14%) Presenting Pete	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) Presenting Pete 12/1, Pulled up both runs this summer, in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 59 days ago. Needs to take a major step forward. Won last summer off a higher mark but hard to trust after two non-completions.
10 5th (10) (12/1 -20%) I Am Gonna Be	12 12/1(-20%)	(10) I Am Gonna Be 12/1, Fairly useful bumper/hurdles winner at his best but he was well below par when fifth of 10 in handicap chase over C&D 41 days ago. Switches to hurdles with work to do. Mixed over fences since joining this yard and now returns from a third wind operation.
5 6th (5) (14/1 -40%) Breaking Waves	14 14/1(-40%)	(5) Breaking Waves 14/1, Untrustworthy individual who followed Uttoxeter victory in June with a below-form seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Others appeal more. Looked good at Uttoxeter but then blew out next time; has become hard to predict.
3 7th (3) (7/1 +42%) Magic Seven	7 7/1(+42%)	(3) Magic Seven 7/1, Dual 2m4f winner at Hereford last season but came in last of 11 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) 82 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Bumper and dual hurdle winner, but has found life very tough in handicaps.
12 8th (12) (12/1 -100%) Thahab Ifraj	12 12/1(-100%)	(12) Thahab Ifraj 12/1, Scored over hurdles at Exeter (17.7f) in October, 2023, and not disgraced in two runs on the Flat this summer. Not ruled out back in this sphere. Won his final race over hurdles; just okay on the Flat since then but has a chance.
1 9th (1) (11/2 +21%) Manorbank	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(1) Manorbank 11/2, Back in good form, still in touch when stumbled and fell after 2 out in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, good) 109 days ago. Enters calculations. Finding it hard work when falling at Warwick in early May; dropped in grade, though.
2 \|PU\| (2) (15/2 -7%) Hardy Fella	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(2) Hardy Fella 15/2, Scored over fences at Fontwell in November but pulled up for second consecutive start in handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f, good to firm) in April. Reverts to hurdles after a break with a bit to prove. The return to hurdling will probably be welcomed and there's nothing wrong with his mark.
9 \|PU\| (9) (33/1 +0%) Sporty Jim	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Sporty Jim 33/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who has yet to fire for his current yard, sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle here (23f, good to soft) 76 days ago. It's easy to look elsewhere. Pulled up in two chases for this yard before finishing well behind over hurdles.

19:40 Worcester Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Pop The Champagne has run with credit on both attempts over hurdles this summer and the eight-year-old is likely to benefit from stepping up in trip. Manorbank remains open to improvement, but the vote goes to MY CHIQUITA. Runner-up at Aintree in May, a 2lb rise is unlikely to stop her from gaining a third career success in this sphere.

MY CHIQUITA made a highly encouraging start over hurdles last term and is fancied to resume in style in this sphere after a good stint on the Flat this summer. Manorbank could emerge as the main danger after his mishap at Warwick last time, although Thahab Ifraj, Pop The Champagne and Finisk River also need considering in this open handicap.

It might pay to risk HARDY FELLA who will be glad to see the back of fences and there's nothing wrong with his hurdle mark.

5 1st (5) (9/2 +63%) Locked Box	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(5) Locked Box 9/2, €75,000 3-y-o, Beat Hollow gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Snapdragon Fire. Third on first of 3 starts in points, last of 7 finishers last time (May 6). Modest enough form in three points and looks an unlikely player on debut.
11 2nd (11) (2/1 +11%) Diamond Tipp	2 2/1(+11%)	(11) Diamond Tipp 2/1, Twice-raced maiden. 11/1, second of 13 in bumper at Tramore (16.6f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Good second in a Tramore bumper when not getting a clear run; likely to take the beating.
7 3rd (7) (16/1 -45%) Victor Sweet	16 16/1(-45%)	(7) Victor Sweet 16/1, Conduit gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Last Man Standing and Flaming Sword. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 25f) Bradley Boy. Not discounted. Newcomer by Conduit with a stout staying pedigree; best watched.
2 4th (2) (17/2 +6%) Barton Snow	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(2) Barton Snow 17/2, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 9 bumper runs. 33/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable seventh of 13 in bumper at Galway (18f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Touched off in a Tramore bumper last summer but patchy form since; has the ability.
4 5th (4) (33/1 +50%) King Mal	33 33/1(+50%)	(4) King Mal 33/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in bumper at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft, 33/1) on NH debut 34 days ago. Never a factor on debut in a Wexford bumper last month; hard to fancy.
10 6th (10) (15/2 -125%) Alaskan View	7.5 15/2(-125%)	(10) Alaskan View 15/2, Once-raced maiden. 50/1 and tongue strap on, second of 15 in bumper at Tramore (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. More to come and is worth a chance to go one better. Probably ran into one on her debut at Tramore but was a very creditable second; big chance.
1 7th (1) (66/1 +0%) Arctic Craft	66 66/1(+0%)	(1) Arctic Craft 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. First run since leaving Hugh P. Finegan when seventh of 11 in bumper at Downpatrick (18.8f, good, 125/1) 17 days ago. Very modest level of ability in two bumpers; unlikely to figure here.
6 8th (6) (9/2 -140%) Monroes Hollow	4.5 9/2(-140%)	(6) Monroes Hollow 9/2, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in bumper (14/1) at Galway (18f, good to soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. Likely to step forward from that. Ran well for a long way on debut in a bumper at Galway; should improve for that.
12 9th (12) (28/1 -12%) Jeni Kala	28 28/1(-12%)	(12) Jeni Kala 28/1, Kalanisi filly. Dam placed on Flat (stayed 1¼m). Doesn't make much appeal on paper. Newcomer by Kalanisi with quite a speedy pedigree; best watched.
9 10th (9) (11/1 +45%) Jazzwing	11 11/1(+45%)	(9) Jazzwing 11/1, Twice-raced maiden. 25/1, eighth of 15 in bumper at Ballinrobe (15.5f, good) 36 days ago. Might strip fitter for that and can get involved if back to the sort of form she showed on debut. Well held Ballinrobe last month after a year off, having raced keenly; should do better.
3 11th (3) (33/1 +34%) Inch Salvador	33 33/1(+34%)	(3) Inch Salvador 33/1, El Salvador gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful 2½m chase winner Following Dreams, barely stayed 3½m. Pulled up sole start in points. Pulled-up on sole point start in May and likely best watched on rules debut.
8 12th (8) (12/1 -9%) Albert Hirsch	12 12/1(-9%)	(8) Albert Hirsch 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 13 in bumper at Roscommon (15.4f, soft) 22 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Showed a little ability in a pair of Roscommon bumpers but not enough to be a factor here.

19:48 Bellewstown NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Runner-up at Tramore on her racecourse debut earlier this month, ALASKAN VIEW can make the most of this opportunity. The Willie Martin-trained four-year-old is entitled to be all the better for that initial experience, while in Phidelma Elvin she has one of the stronger riders in this race. Monroes Hollow shaped with plenty of promise when fifth at the Galway Festival first time up. Time may well show that to have been a fair contest, so with that in mind the Peter Fahey-trained gelding has to be of interest. Jody Townend looks a rather significant booking for the Michael Grassick-trained Albert Hirsch. Mid division on both runs to date, the son of Beat Hollow might be capable of better given the benefit of those races.

ALASKAN VIEW outran big odds when a promising second at Tramore on debut and she's capable of better, so she's preferred to Monroes Hollow, who also arrives on the back of a positive start. Diamond Tipp is another one to consider.

Preference is for DIAMOND TIPP, second in a Tramore bumper when not getting the run of the race. She can take the beating

Significantly up in trip and, provided his stamina passes the test, he should be on the premises with Oisin Murphy booked. Won at Kempton on sole AW attempt and looks interesting returned to this venue.
7 2nd (7) (13/2 +0%) Liam Swagger	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(7) Liam Swagger 13/2, Fifth of 6 in handicap at Sandown (14f, good to firm, 13/2) 28 days ago. Back down in trip for this polytrack debut and while he's by no means ruled out, one or two of these make more appeal. Six-race maiden; consistent in the main; non-stayer over 1m6f most recently.
5 3rd (5) (10/3 -11%) Into Battle	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(5) Into Battle 10/3, Course winner. Latest win at Epsom in April. 7/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 27 days ago. That wasn't one of his better efforts but he has a fighting chance judged on his good third at Sandown in June. Scored at Kempton on sole AW start; drops back two grades for return to this course.
8 4th (8) (17/2 +23%) True Wisdom	8.5 17/2(+23%)	(8) True Wisdom 17/2, 12/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Back up in trip and, having finished second off a 3 lb higher mark on her sole previous AW start over C&D in April, she's not discounted. Strong form (split subsequent winners) over C&D on sole AW attempt; now 3lb lower.
1 5th (1) (11/1 -47%) South Pole	11 11/1(-47%)	(1) South Pole 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 15/8, first run since leaving Aidan O'Brien when fourth of 7 in maiden at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm) 63 days ago. Type to do better now switched to handicaps but others preferred on this occasion all the same. May be capable of improvement on handicap debut and second start for new yard.
3 6th (3) (7/1 -27%) New Chelsea	7 7/1(-27%)	(3) New Chelsea 7/1, Winner at Windsor in June. Last of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (11.2f, firm, 10/3) 26 days ago. May well have been amiss that day and it would be no surprise were he to get back on track with blinkers refitted here. Folded tamely over 1m3f at Glorious Goodwood but may fare better in this lower grade.
2 7th (2) (14/1 -75%) Niigata	14 14/1(-75%)	(2) Niigata 14/1, Thrice-raced winner. 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 15 in novice at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 79 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time for this handicap debut and sizeable step forward needed. Has failed to build on debut win; gelded since last run and now wears blinkers.
6 8th (6) (11/2 +8%) Baraq	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(6) Baraq 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, bit below form third of 14 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) 26 days ago. Certainly wouldn't be the first from this ultra-shrewd yard to benefit from stepping up in trip for his handicap debut. One to watch closely in the betting. Has two pieces of solid AW novice form; open to progress now handicapping.

20:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 11f Race Class Flow

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

INTO BATTLE may not have progressed as hoped since a determined success at Epsom in April, but he has run in good company and this represents a significant drop in grade for the son of Churchill. The form of his stable is another plus and he gets the vote ahead of unexposed handicap debutant Baraq and South Pole, who has undergone a gelding operation since a respectable effort on his debut for new connections at Salisbury in June.

BARAQ has come up against some decent types in a Newcastle novice and Southwell maiden since returning to action at the end of June, and he looks sure to benefit greatly from this stiffer test now pitched into a handicap off what could turn out to be a very fair mark. It's probably best not to read too much into New Chelsea's low-key display at Goodwood and he is second choice ahead of the filly True Wisdom.

A chance is taken on TRUE WISDOM, who has lacked consistency but is interesting back over this C&D. Into Battle is second choice.

20:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (7/2 +36%) Nemov	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(9) Nemov 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good, 2/1) 18 days ago, finding less than looked likely. The return to 6f could help. Solid second (behind useful rival) over C&D on sole AW start; very interesting back here.
5 2nd (5) (11/2 -22%) War Bride	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(5) War Bride 11/2, Won on AW at Lingfield at the start of the year. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Windsor (6f, firm) 25 days ago. Considered from a handy draw. Ran well at Windsor last time; has a very consistent record in 6f AW races; solid chance.
7 3rd (7) (4/1 +60%) Mesaafi	4 4/1(+60%)	(7) Mesaafi 4/1, Fair maiden. 9/2 and cheekpieces on first time, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Maiden; ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Bath most recently.
2 4th (2) (6/1 -71%) Apeeling	6 6/1(-71%)	(2) Apeeling 6/1, Winner at Windsor in June. 4/1, possibly unsuited by the track when seventh of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Expected to be bang there. Ground went against her on latest turf start; remains of interest assuming she takes to AW.
1 5th (1) (9/1 +25%) Maximum Impact	9 9/1(+25%)	(1) Maximum Impact 9/1, Cheekpieces on first time, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 9/1) 19 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces at Newmarket (6f) most recently; drops in grade.
6 6th (6) (40/1 -60%) Boann	40 40/1(-60%)	(6) Boann 40/1, C&D winner last November but has found life harder this year. Others are more persuasive. Far from consistent but is well treated granted a peak-form display; has won over C&D.
8 7th (8) (6/1 -140%) Felicity	6 6/1(-140%)	(8) Felicity 6/1, Improving Blue Point filly who made a successful start to her handicap career over 6f at Lingfield (AW) in July. From a leading stable so there should be more to come. Justified favouritism at Lingfield last month on AW/handicap debut; has progressive RPRs.
4 8th (4) (11/1 -47%) Dark Dreamer	11 11/1(-47%)	(4) Dark Dreamer 11/1, C&D winner in April and went in again at Nottingham in June. Needs to shrug off a below-par run back at Nottingham last month. Record of 2-5 this term; disappointing last time but he's not easy to write off.
3 9th (3) (11/1 +21%) Old Chums	11 11/1(+21%)	(3) Old Chums 11/1, Three wins from 10 runs this year. Latest win at Chester in June. Below par back at Chester twice since but his good AW record provides hope of a revival. Solid record in AW handicaps but the removal of usual cheekpieces presents a question mark.

20:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The William Haggas yard can do little wrong at present and FELICITY looks the one to beat again after getting off the mark in determined fashion at Lingfield last month. A 4lb rise for that success could prove lenient, and she gets the vote ahead of Windsor second War Bride and Dark Dreamer, who has strong claims the form of his success at Nottingham two starts ago.

WAR BRIDE should be able to get a handy position from the inside stall and might prove the answer to a tricky 3-y-o sprint. The WIlliam Haggas-trained Felicity should have more to offer on the back of her Lingfield success and is second choice ahead of Apeeling for Oisin Murphy.

Off a very attractive mark back over this C&D, the stage looks set for NEMOV (nap) to open his account. Felicity is feared most.

21:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 12f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (4/1 +38%) Francesco Baracca	4 4/1(+38%)	(3) Francesco Baracca 4/1, Creditable fourth of 10 in C&D handicap 14 days ago, closing all way to line. Each-way claims. First run over this far when a closing fourth from well off the pace here two weeks ago.
9 2nd (9) (9/2 -50%) Emerald City	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(9) Emerald City 9/2, 10/3, good second of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (1¼m, good to soft) 40 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Running well; first run over this far and his dam was a triple hurdle winner.
2 3rd (2) (2/1 +40%) Inappropriate	2 2/1(+40%)	(2) Inappropriate 2/1, 13/8, good second of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (1¼m, good to firm) 42 days ago, clear of rest. Makes polytrack debut. Should go well. Beaten by an exposed one last time but clear of the rest and 1m4f is worth a go.
5 4th (5) (11/2 -22%) Forest Hills	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(5) Forest Hills 11/2, Blinkered first time, career best when winning 6-runner handicap (5/2) at Salisbury (1¼m, good to firm) 14 days ago, driven clear. Back up in trip. Claims if the headgear works as well a second time. Won narrowly in the new blinkers at Salisbury (1m2f); stays further; up just 3lb.
11 5th (11) (10/1 +17%) Charles Morin	10 10/1(+17%)	(11) Charles Morin 10/1, Winner at Lingfield in May. 10/3, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (11.5f, firm) 32 days ago. Others are more preferred. 1m1f winner and hasn't been all that far away since, despite modest placings.
1 6th (1) (14/1 -17%) Turing	14 14/1(-17%)	(1) Turing 14/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Didn't take to hurdles last month and quickly returns to the level. Mixed Flat record, but has shown he can be competitive off this mark and on the AW.
10 7th (10) (16/1 -60%) Burlington House	16 16/1(-60%)	(10) Burlington House 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, last of 5 in handicap at Leicester (1½m, good to firm) 28 days ago. Others more persuasive. Fifth in both handicaps, taking a big backward step over 1m4f in the latest.
6 8th (6) (66/1 -100%) Saratoga Star	66 66/1(-100%)	(6) Saratoga Star 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in handicap (50/1) at Newbury (1¼m, good to firm) 34 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Has work to do. Four defeats, the first two for Charles Hills; 50-1 and last on handicap debut latest.
8 9th (8) (18/1 -50%) Livinthelife	18 18/1(-50%)	(8) Livinthelife 18/1, Eighth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Leicester (1½m, good to firm) 17 days ago but had been a good second at Hamilton prior to that. Gained his win on AW. Prone to the occasional shocker, as was the case last time at Leicester; others safer.

21:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Now that the penny has dropped for FOREST HILLS after a comfortable success over 1m2f at Salisbury recently, he may improve again for going back up in trip as he looks to overcome a 3lb rise. Emerald City has been getting closer to breaking the maiden in recent starts and this looks a decent opportunity for the son of Dream Ahead, while Inappropriate is another consistent individual to note.

INAPPROPRIATE has been knocking on the door and can deservedly get his head in front now stepping up to 1½m. Forest Hills reacted well to blinkers at Salisbury and a 3 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing if in similar form. Emerald City is next on the list.

James Fanshawe's consistent EMERALD CITY deserves a break and it might come over this longer trip, as his dam won over hurdles.

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.
