13:20 Cartmel Handicap Chase (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

PITTSBURG arrives here on the back of two wins earlier in the month and a 4lb rise for the most recent of those efforts may not be enough to stop him here. Arbennig is another recent winner that is likely to go very well in a race of this nature, while We'll Go Again and King Of Quinta are the pick of the remainder.

Lots with chances but PITTSBURG hasn't looked back since going chasing and is weighted to gain a hat-trick upped 4 lb for his fluent Market Rasen success nine days ago. Arbennig also arrives in excellent nick and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can be made for King of Quinta, We'll Go Again and Jackhammer too.

Preference is for ARBENNIG as he bids for a third win in his last four starts.

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

LANDOFSMILES bounced back to form when accounting for a useful field over 3m2f at Uttoxeter a month ago and Peter Bowen's gelding merits the utmost respect off just a 3lb higher mark here. Jony Max has made the frame on his last couple of starts and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Bodhisattva and Tommie Beau.

The handicapper might have taken a bit of a chance dropping BREAKING THE ICE 3 lb for his quite encouraging reappearance here at the end of June and he's selected to notch a seventh chase success. The consistent Jony Max is second choice ahead of John McConnell-trained Irish raider Bodhisattva.

Plenty to consider but BREAKING THE ICE ran well enough over C&D two months ago to suggest he can gain another success.

14:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MUDLAHHIM was narrowly beaten when third at Wolverhampton last time out, having been successful over the same course and distance (7f) on his penultimate outing. Scott Dixon's gelding remains well treated judged on past exploits and he is fancied to regain the winning sequence from just 1lb higher than his latest start. The Cola Brasil continues to run well in defeat and he is unlikely to be far away, while Wrath Of Hector is another to consider.

THE COLA BRASIL has performed with credit all three starts since joining the Henry Spiller yard and he could be the answer to this open-looking contest. While Mudlahhim's record at this course doesn't augur well, he is nevertheless feared on the strength of his recent exploits at Wolverhampton. Liberty Breeze will be a threat if on a going day and Wrath of Hector is likely to be in the shake-up, too.

The vote goes to MUDLAHHIM, who has had a win and close third on Tapeta in his last two runs and remains well treated on his old form.

SIGNORA DI MILANO can open her account on her second start for the Gordon Elliott yard. The five-year-old showed significant improvement on her initial run for the trainer earlier this month when runner-up to a strongly fancied stablemate at this track. Given the way she saw out the race on that occasion, it would be no surprise to see the Milan mare go one better now. Zaghraf shaped well on his hurdling debut at Naas back in March but has since switched trainers and was well beaten on his only subsequent run over flights. A reproduction of that earlier effort would be good enough to see the four-year-old get involved. The well-bred Fortuna Favente was sent off favourite on her racecourse debut here earlier in the month. Although well behind Signora Di Milano then, the Barry Connell-trained mare is almost certainly capable of better.

SIGNORA DI MILANO made a promising start for Gordon Elliott when a recent runner-up here and can go one better now at the chief expense of Fortuna Favente who should have learned plenty from coming home eighth in the same contest and can get much nearer this time. Fathom Two is another to consider starting out over hurdles for Gavin Cromwell.

A vastly improved display when runner-up on her first run for Gordon Elliott suggests that SIGNORA DI MILANO can go one better

This looks a tricky puzzle for punters to solve and only a tentative vote goes to CHARLIE MASON, who has been threatening to score and his one-length second off 2lb lower when dropped to 5f at Beverley last time gives him a big shout in this company. Goodeveningmrbond has been eased 1lb for a promising third over 6f on soft ground at Doncaster, but the shorter trip and quicker ground are a concern, while a sliding mark brings Moe's Legacy into the equation. Torvar wasn't beaten too far off 2lb higher at Musselburgh last month and he is another to consider.

CHARLIE MASON improved in a first-time visor when runner-up at Beverley 11 days ago, despite having suffered early interference, and he can take another step forward to open his account. Goodeveningmrbond also showed more on his latest outing and is respected, with Torvar completing the shortlist.

A weak contest and CHARLIE MASON (nap) is taken to atone for his defeat when having a tricky passage at Beverley last time.

Jelski has to be respected in his bid for a hat-trick but a 3lb rise for his most recent win will make life tougher for the nine-year-old. With that in mind, preference is for MARSHALLED, who failed to fire last time but is a big player based on his narrow defeat over C&D two starts ago. Others to note are Sword Of Fate and Lermoos Legend.

JELSKI bids for a course hat-trick and, if the pace is strong enough, he's up to completing it. If Sword of Fate is allowed his own way in front he'll be hard to pass and Kellyiscool, who was third to the selection here last time, can't be ruled out.

Topweight MARSHALLED is best forgiven his latest effort here and has decent claims on his previous C&D second.

JERSEY ROCS showed plenty of promise when second behind a subsequent winner on his racecourse debut here recently and he ought to go very well with the benefit of that experience. The main danger is likely to be Townsend Manor after his Windsor third last month, while Veiled Illusion could find some improvement if he manages to settle better on only his second start.

JERSEY ROCS is bred to be useful, and with above-average improvement from his debut anticipated, he looks the way to go. Townsend Manor and There's No Limit head the opposition.

Having bumped into a useful, experienced winner when runner-up over C&D on his debut, JERSEY ROCS is the pick on his second start.

The form of GET JIGGY WITH IT's recent Goodwood third took a timely boost when the winner went on to finish second in a Group 2 at Deauville next time and she might prove tough to beat if running to a similar level today. Daymer Bay hit the woodwork at Doncaster last month and he should be on the premises along with Crimson Spirit, whose pedigree would suggest he ought to appreciate this step up in trip.

CRIMSON SPIRIT stuck to his task well when fourth over 6f at Nottingham recently and with more to come over 7f he gets the tentative nod in what looks a trappy maiden. Get Jiggy With It brings the best form to the table and gets weight all round so she's an obvious threat, with Magico a potential improver.

Having been placed in maidens at the Newmarket July festival and Glorious Goodwood, GET JIGGY WITH IT brings strong form claims.

Miss Mach One had BINT HAVANA GREY a length and three quarters back in third when the pair met at Windsor last time, but a 4lb swing in the weights, along with a drop in trip, could see the latter gain her revenge on that rival. Reprised makes plenty of appeal on paper and the Blue Point filly is worth a market check ahead of her racecourse bow, as is Bluebell Grove, who could be well berthed in stall eight.

BLUEBELL GROVE looks of obvious interest on debut, being a six-figure daughter of Blue Point and a half-sister to 2 smart sprint winners. Miss Mach One is the form pick even under a penalty having had Bint Havana Grey back in third at Windsor.

Preference is for MISS MACH ONE, who justified support in good style at Windsor 15 days ago and sets the standard under a penalty.

GWAN TADHG should be difficult to beat as he bids to follow up a recent course and distance success. The Edward O'Grady-trained six-year-old travelled noticeably easily throughout that contest, looking a winner at every stage. Although subsequently handed a 7lb rise, his proven ability to act on this unique track is a big positive. Blackberry Jack arrives here in better form than most having filled the runner-up spot at Kilbeggan on his most recent outing. Trainer Denis Leahy, who makes the long trip up from County Cork with the six-year-old, will be hoping to return home with the main prize. Charle Bruno, who shaped encouragingly on his first start back with former connections last time, is another who can get competitive.

GWAN TADHG is a rare one here in that he brings winning form to the table and he's fancied to strike again. Breagagh is feared most ahead of Anyway and the potentially very interesting Karloss.

Recent C&D winner Gwan Tadhg could go close off 7lb higher but may not cope with recent Kilbeggan runner-up BLACKBERRY JACK

Secret Bid travelled well when beaten just three-quarters of a length into fourth over this trip at Kempton on debut and he should go close, but slight preference is for MIGUEL. Jack Channon's colt stayed on very well for second once the penny dropped over 6f here last month and, expected to relish this extra furlong, he can show the benefit of that experience to go one better. Compton Bay hinted at ability on his introduction at Epsom, while Duely Spiced has filled the runner-up spot on both starts to date and she's worth a second look.

SECRET BID showed plenty of ability when fourth at Kempton a fortnight ago and he can build on that experience to score at the second time of asking. Archie Watson's colt can see off the challenge of Miguel, who made an encouraging start when runner-up at this course last month, while Emirates Angel is another to consider upped in trip.

Jack Channon's MIGUEL might be the answer after running well here on his debut over shorter behind one who has since followed up.

Gifted Angel merits respect under a penalty for his recent Stratford success, but MAJESTIC JAMEELA, who receives 14lb from the former, is preferred. Stuart Edmunds' filly has run with credit on both of her starts over timber and any further improvement could see the daughter of Postponed get off the mark. Hooded ahead of his hurdling debut, market support would have to bring Balboa into the reckoning.

BALBOA achieved fair form on the level, and with stamina no issue switched to hurdles, he's selected to get the better of a couple with experience over timber in Majestic Jameela and Gifted Angel

The return to juvenile company can see GIFTED ANGEL gain a second win.

It's hard to get away from EXPOSED, who represents the in-form William Haggas yard and she sets the standard for the others to aim at with a rating of 73. The three-year-old has hit the crossbar the last twice and she could improve for the step up in trip, which makes her difficult to oppose. Sindri can give the selection the most to think about after her respectable third at Yarmouth, while Lukla looks best of the rest.

This looks a match between SINDRI and Exposed with marginal preference for the Michael Bell filly given she has a fitness edge and remains open to progress.

This should be between the two 3yo fillies. EXPOSED has been absent since last July but showed promise last season and is in top hands.

WILD LION posted a solid fourth off this mark in a warm 0-105 handicap at York last month and The Last Lion gelding looks well capable in these calmer waters, despite having to saddle the burden of top-weight. The unexposed New Business, who was far from disgraced on his handicap bow 51 days ago, can make his presence felt from a 1lb lower mark. G'daay is fancied to chase the pair home ahead of Chartwell House.

None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to NEW BUSINESS who did well to come home fourth on his handicap debut at Sandown given he went freely and can continue on the up to resume winning ways. Both Marlay Park (second choice) and Chartwell House arrive in good nick and have winning C&D form so could emerge as the chief threats in a competitive handicap.

Returned to an ideal-looking scenario, SIR WINSTON remains open to further improvement. Chartwell House is second choice.

RODBOROUGH was a commanding winner over track and trip eight days ago and the lightly-raced son of Mayson could double his tally under a 6lb penalty. Birkenhead, who was narrowly denied at Wolverhampton last time, can make his presence felt, along with Storm Fox. Mehmo finished third behind the selection in that same contest and a swing in the weights could see him close the gap.

Equipped with first-time cheekpieces and ridden more positively, RODBOROUGH looked a different proposition when scoring over this C&D recently and, with the possibility of more to come from her over this trip, she is taken to follow up under a penalty. Mehmo was beaten 3 lengths into third by the selection that day and, now 6 lb better off, it would be no surprise if he finishes closer this time. Glorious Charmer and Cuban Grey are also likely to be on the premises.

The 3yo RODBOROUGH looked a lot more with it in the cheekpieces when making all here last week and can defy a penalty.

REVEREND HUBERT can get off the mark over flights on just his third start for the Charles Byrnes yard. A smart handicapper on the level when trained in Britain, the five-year-old made a promising Irish debut when runner-up at Roscommon at the beginning of this month. Although unable to improve on that form when only third at Tramore last time, he may not have appreciated the tight track. With more of an emphasis on stamina here, his staying prowess should come to the fore. Marv Michael was a beaten favourite at Down Royal last time, only getting run out of it close home. The Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding receives a valuable 8lb from Reverend Hubert. Ringdufferin, who has an official rating of 106 over hurdles, should also be capable of playing a role in the finish.

There should be plenty more to come from REVEREND HUBERT based on his Flat ability and this looks a great chance for him to open his account at the third attempt. Marv Michael and Ringdufferin are the obvious threats.

Useful Flat stayer Reverend Hubert has run well in two maiden hurdles this month after a year's absence and can outstay Marv Michael

Concon Candy has displayed ability when making the frame at Wolverhampton and Chelmsford, but preference is for the proven turf form of MEXICALI ROSE. Ralph Beckett's filly began the season with second-placed finishes at Leicester and Nottingham, before a half-length third off this mark at Lingfield when last seen in June and she sets the standard in this company. Ithra looks best of the rest.

MEXICALI ROSE was unsuited by the emphasis on speed at Lingfield last time, but she had previously shaped well on handicap debut and is taken to resume her progress to get off the mark. Concon Candy is open to further improvement on only her third start and looks to be the main danger, with Ithra the pick of the remainder.

This looks best left to MEXICALI ROSE, who has the best form in the field and is taken to break her duck for a stable in good form.

MY GIFT TO YOU made an immediate impact when switched to handicaps last month. A comfortable hurdles winner at Southwell, he went on to strike over fences next time out and James Owen's progressive five-year-old looks well placed to bring up his hat-trick now back over timber. Coal Fire and Prince Nino must enter calculations following their recent victories, while Camilla's Choice and Sir Canford are just two others to consider.

With five last-time-out winners, this looks very competitive. MY GIFT TO YOU has improved significantly since switched to this yard, equipped with a tongue strap and partnered by Harry Cobden the last twice, bagging handicaps in this sphere at Southwell and over fences at Worcester. The 5-y-o is taken to complete the hat-trick, perhaps at the chief expense of Coal Fire. Strike of Lighting also enters calculations and Camilla's Choice needs a second look, too.

A very competitive event could go to CAMILLA'S CHOICE after her emphatic Bangor win.

Shagraan (second) had Asadna (third) behind on his penultimate outing at Newbury and he can confirm that form here. However, preference is for the highly-progressive SEVEN QUESTIONS, as he defied a mark of 88 on his nursery bow in comfortable fashion at Leicester last time. The son of Kodiac could take another step forward and make it four wins from his last four starts. Task Force won nicely on his debut at Salisbury and is also considered.

SEVEN QUESTIONS and Task Force are the ones to focus on, both looking very promising sprinters, with George Scott's charge fancied to make it 4 wins in a row. Shagraan could be dangerous, while Asadna, visibly so impressive here on debut, suddenly has a bit to prove.

Easy Salisbury maiden winner TASK FORCE has an excellent pedigree and this exciting colt can take the rise in grade in his stride.

Having landed this contest in 2021, CAPTAIN HADDOCK returned to finish sixth in the corresponding event 12 months ago. Heather Main's charge is 7lb lower today and his recent C&D second would suggest he might be ready to exploit a sliding handicap mark. Citizen General merits the utmost respect under a 5lb penalty having bolted up at Pontefract eight days ago, while the consistent Warhol is unlikely to be far away in the capable hands of Simon Walker.

Preference is for WARHOL, who is entitled to come on for his latest run here when returning from a break of almost three months and the booking of top amateur Simon Walker adds to his appeal. The 2021 winner of this race, Captain Haddock, is lurking on an attractive mark and may emerge as the main danger, provided he doesn't get caught too far back, while recent wide-margin Pontefract winner Citizen General and Restorer are others to consider.

Several runners are appealing, most notably PREMIERE LIGNE. Second choice is Liberated Light.

SUPERPOSITION travelled well on his debut at Newmarket and may have finished even better than fifth had he not been put off his stride when a bit short of room near the finish. That run will have taught him plenty and more can be expected from this son of Sea The Stars with that experience to draw upon. Tribal Rhythm has also shown promise in two previous starts and is feared most, while Roman Secret and Mai Dubai are other likely improvers.

Following an encouraging debut at Newmarket earlier this month, SUPERPOSITION looks the way to go. The Sea The Stars colt holds an entry in the Royal Lodge and while it remains to be seen if he'll prove good enough to take his chance in that Group 2 contest. a race of this nature should be well within his grasp. Tribal Rhythm is taken to follow the selection home, with Mai Dubai best of the rest.

GLENDARS MAHLER is an intriguing runner on her return to a track where she shaped well previously. The seven-year-old looked as though she would have won her maiden at this course on her hurdling debut last June only to come to grief when travelling easily two out. On her only subsequent visit, the James Fahey-trained mare finished third here earlier in the summer. Having won for the first time in her career at Sligo recently, the Frank Reynolds-owned runner holds strong claims. Trainer Noel Kelly always has to be respected at this track and Gladiatorial is one that could outrun his odds. The dual winner has run some of his better races at this venue, including a course and distance success. The Grey Monty, runner-up here earlier this month, should improve enough to be a leading contender.

THE GREY MONTY's return from a year off here a fortnight ago was very promising and on that evidence, this mark is within range. Glendars Mahler and Paidi's Passion are a couple of viable threats.

Beaten only 1/2l at this venue on her first outing in almost a year, THE GREY MONTY gets the vote to step up a place

Redredrobin has enjoyed a profitable campaign with five wins from her last eight starts.

Nevertheless, LITTLE BOY BLUE appeals most off just 1lb higher than his own C&D success in June and he could be difficult to overhaul if allowed a soft lead.

AUTUMN FESTIVAL has a mixed record this year but is well handicapped and is worth chancing at a venue where he's tasted success before. C&D specialist Macs Dilemma is second choice ahead of the prolific Redredrobin.

Mark Walford's CORI GLORY appeared to be coming along nicely until getting stuck in the mud at Beverley.

BLENDED STEALTH made a highly encouraging first start for the Lizzie Quinlan stable when he managed to hit the frame at Uttoxeter over 2m4f and the son of Walk In The Park now goes in a first-time tongue-tie, which could eke out the improvement needed to score now back up in trip. Last-time-out victor Unwanted Attention is a live threat after he accounted for his nearest rival by a length and he should go well off a 5lb higher mark. Any market support for Tip Top Tonto on his handicap bow would be of interest.

BLENDED STEALTH shaped encouragingly on his stable debut when third at Uttoxeter last month and, with a tongue strap applied, he can build on his latest effort to open his account. Unwanted Attention arrives here on the back of his first success and is feared most upped in trip, with Sunshine Girl completing the shortlist.

After his improved display when winning at Uttoxeter, UNWANTED ATTENTION (nap) makes most appeal.

Isla Kai has claims on his third in a valuable 7f handicap at Newbury last time, but it could pay to concentrate on the hat-trick seeking duo of KATHAB and Another Batt. Both began their winning runs over this C&D and are progressive, but the William Haggas-trained gelding's form on a better surface tips the balance in his favour. He powered home to win well at Haydock and a 6lb rise may not be enough to halt him.

KATHAB is a progressive 3yo and he had a bit to spare when winning a Haydock handicap at the expense of Diamondonthehill, who is worthy of respect on better terms with the selection. Isla Kai is also of interest.

The unexposed 3yo KATHAB made it two wins in a row when scoring on his handicap debut at Haydock and he can land the hat-trick.

OH SO GRAND looked progressive before a blip at Lingfield last time and she's worth a chance to resume winning ways. Fellow 3yo Ribal may pose the biggest threat, although Light Up Our Stars could feature if ready to go after a break.

First-time headgear may well enable RIBAL to build on some placed form and get off the mark. Oh So Grand is feared most.

GRAND ROI will need to improve on his two most recent starts over fences but the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding should find this easier than recent tasks. A runner-up at Listowel on his chasing debut last September, the seven-year-old has subsequently failed to complete in two further runs over fences. However, there was sufficient promise in his most recent starts back hurdling to suggest he retains enough ability to win a race of this nature. Point-to-point winner Rexam shaped well on his recent chasing debut at Wexford so has to have a solid chance at a track where he has tasted success over hurdles. Grozni was well supported at Tramore recently but could manage no better than third. Connections clearly feel that he is good enough to win a similar race.

GENTLEMAN JOE shaped well on his first go over fences when runner-up at Roscommon and this fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner can build on it to get off the mark in this sphere. Rexem also made an encouraging chasing start when second at Wexford so could emerge as the chief threat ahead of form=choice Grand Roi who would be a threat to all if completing on this occasion.

Quite competitive but maybe REXEM, twice a winner at this venue, can go one place better than on his chasing debut at Wexford

There is a lot to like about the chances of THE WAITING GAME, who is still unexposed at the trip and, having won each of her last two starts at Chelmsford with plenty in hand, a third straight success over 6f is a distinct possibility. Switching back to a Tapeta surface under a 5lb penalty is a slight concern, though, and may open the door for the potentially well-handicapped Autumn Flight and Phoenix Star, both of whom are very much respected.

THE WAITING GAME has her first go on tapeta but still looks the way to go under a 5 lb penalty for her stylish Chelmsford City success only four days ago which sees her still on a winning mark. Recent C&D scorer Congress appeals as the chief threat to Jack Jones's filly ahead of Arlecchino's Gift and Autumn Flight.

The most striking contender is THE WAITING GAME (nap) whose form has really taken off with her two emphatic wins at Chelmsford.

The form of SILVER KING's fourth and third in a pair of maiden hurdles at Punchestown in November has been well endorsed. He is entitled to be sharper for a comeback seventh in a bumper at Cork this month. Quarry Rocco has a chance. The rain on Sunday should aid his cause as he is probably one for winter ground. This former point-to-point winner kept on for fourth in a maiden hurdle on soft ground at the Galway Festival and was well clear of the remainder. On The Tide made a promising return to action when third at Kilbeggan. He had previously shown ability when runner-up in a bumper at Tipperary in May last year. Quarry Rocco's stablemate, Casey West, has been off a long time but showed decent form for his former trainer.

Despite being sent off at unflattering odds having displayed little in a bumper, QUARRY ROCCO offered plenty to work on when fourth on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago. This trip should unlock more so he gets the tentative vote in an open race. Silver King is dangerous id reacting positively to cheekpieces, with Edge of My Seat also considered.

From a yard in fine form, QUARRY ROOCO ran a lovely race on hurdles bow in a good maiden at Galway and is preferred to \bSilver King/p

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

FACT OR FABLE is an appealing option turned out under a 5lb penalty for last week's C&D success. That was his third victory at this venue and his proven effectiveness on these undulations is a very persuasive factor. Dourado also commands respect on the back of his Windsor success and can go well again, despite dropping back in trip off a 4lb higher mark. Thewaytothestars and Coffeemeanscoffee are others for the shortlist.

COFFEEMEANSCOFFEE was possibly stretched by 1m here last week and is narrowly preferred to last-time-out C&D second Pavlodar. Fact Or Fable may not be obviously well treated under a 5 lb penalty for Thursday's C&D win but his very good record here this year makes him a must for the shortlist.

SHANTOU SUNSET just missed out by a short head in a fierce battle to the line over an extended 3m1f around here last time and despite being raised 3lb for that effort, the nine-year-old can cope with the drop back in distance to score on only her second start for the James Moffatt yard. Jumping Susie makes her handicap bow after hitting the crossbar on both of her outings this year and she could get involved off what looks a workable opening mark of 108. Belles Benefit returns from a layoff but could prove the pick of the remainder if fully wound up for her reappearance.

Tricky stuff but JUMPING SUSIE might have more to offer now handicapping for an Irish yard that does well here and she gets the vote over Shantou Sunset and last year's winner Bon Retour.

Quite a competitive finale. SPOT ON SOPH is on a high enough mark but her recent efforts bode well.

Despite not looking entirely at home on the idiosyncrasies of Brighton, CRYPTOS DREAM ran out facile winner over this trip a week ago and the decision to turn her out again quickly under a 5lb penalty looks a wise move. Dr Rio only found one too good when bidding for a double over the extended 7f at Beverley off this mark and he should give it a good go under top weight, while a recent silver medal over C&D off 3lb lower brings Mac Ailey into the equation.

CRYPTOS DREAM isn't long with her current yard and she cleared away in taking style at Brighton a week ago, so she's worth a chance to go in again. Dr Rio arrives in top form and looks an obvious danger, while another solid showing from Mac Ailey is on the cards.

Clear preference is for CRYPTOS DREAM (nap), who won with something to spare at Brighton last Monday and can defy a 5lb penalty.

OTAGO displayed plenty of promise when a close third over a mile at Brighton last time and he could be hard to beat off the same mark here. That said, Bowland Park has made the frame in both starts this season and could give the selection plenty to think about. English Spirit edges out Kimifive and Trais Fluors to be best of the rest.

BOWLAND PARK is quite a classy sort for this level and can resume winning ways at a venue where he's tasted success before. Second choice is Bobby Dassler who had heavy ground as an excuse last time and had run well here prior to that. Heather Main's English Spirit also makes the shortlist.

The vote goes to BOWLAND PARK (nap), a C&D winner who returns to Epsom off a workable mark. English Spirit is second choice.

I AM SPIDERMAN failed to complete on his first two starts for new connections but showed what he is capable of when runner-up at Tramore last time. Surely it is significant that Charles Byrnes wastes no time in sending the six-year-old straight over fences on the back of that run. Off a similar mark here, the Walk In The Park gelding must enter calculations. Lesssaidthebetter may be able to overturn recent Tramore running with Brehon Star on these revised terms. The Philip Rothwell-trained nine-year-old also wears blinkers for the first time so that aid may also help. The aforementioned Brehon Star was making his debut for trainer Ian Donoghue when successful at Tramore, so may well have further improvement in him on just his second start for the stable.

Poor stuff and BREHON STAR can follow up his Tramore victory. I Am Spider Man is interesting on his chase debut, while Monoxide could also go well.

There should be more to come from BREHON STAR who was making his chasing debut when beating Lesssaidthebetter at Tramore

Deputise had Blackcurrent (third) behind when he landed a classified event over C&D recently but he is 8lb worse off with that rival this time, so the latter has solid clams of reversing that form. However, the vote goes to LUPSET FLOSSY POP, who produced her best effort so far this year when fifth last time at Newcastle, where she was short of room when making her move late on. The three-year-old was kindly dropped 1lb for that display and she could go close.

DEPUTISE ended a losing run in taking style over C&D last week and a 4 lb penalty might not be sufficient to prevent Michael Wigham's 7-y-o from a quick follow up. C&D scorer Blackcurrent came in third that day and again looks set for a place, with Irish Dessert and Bomb Squad completing the shortlist.

It might be worth siding with LUPSET FLOSSY POP, who is on a dangerous mark and showed signs of a revival at Newcastle last time.

The admirable CHARLIE LUCIANO could go in again after a break since mid-July. Noel Meade's charge proved tough to pass when winning at Downpatrick and Bellewstown over the summer before filling the runner-up berth in another Downpatrick contest. Neil Ryan takes 7lb off his back and that could be important as Charlie Luciano is closely matched with Gordon Elliott's Samui who sandwiched a victory in Tramore with runner-up spots at Tipperary and Galway. Luminous Light won a maiden hurdle at Cork in April and holds third-placed Calico on that run. He has been placed in a couple of Flat races since then and has plenty to offer.

Gordon Elliot's SAMUI looks on a good mark for this handicap debut and can strike under Jack Kennedy. Luminous Light has run 2 crackers on the Flat since his Cork maiden hurdle success and is second choice ahead of the selection's stablemate Jay Jay Zee.

A decent handicap but SAMUI (nap) could be better than this level and he can boost the form of Mystical Power's Galway race.

Musical Mystery made a successful debut for the Ed Dunlop yard at Lingfield 13 days ago and dropping back a furlong should be fine if he copes with the 4lb rise. Contrastingly, Hastily is back up in distance after his 5f triumph here last week and may well bush aside the 5lb penalty. However, the in-form DANDYS DERRIERE shades preference from a attractive mark and he holds another live chance back on turf.

MUSICAL MSYTERY made a winning start for the Ed Dunlop yard at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago and might be able to follow up off 4 lb higher. Dandys Derriere really has found form in the second half of the summer and is feared most ahead of Thursday's course scorer Hastily.

A big run from Mac Alley in the 4.45 here today would boost the claims of LITTLE TED, who had that rival back in second when recording a third C&D victory in style nine days ago and Tim Easterby looks to have found his in-form gelding a good opportunity to defy a 5lb rise. The main threat appears to be Dogged, who was far from disgraced in third when bidding for a 1m2f hat-trick at Pontefract and has been dropped 1lb for that effort. Billy Roberts can pick up the bronze medal.

DOGGED is a likeable type who might well get his own way on the front end, so he's a confident choice in a thin race. Recent course winner Little Ted is an obvious danger and Billy Roberts is becoming well treated.

Dogged arrives in good form but so does LITTLE TED, who is taken to post his fourth course win having scored here last time.

Capital Guarantee has to be of interest in his bid for a hat-trick, but the three-year-old will need to find more to defy a career-high mark, while similar comments apply to the in-form Desert Falcon. With that in mind, preference is for SECRET STRENGTH, who is only 1lb higher than when scoring at Newbury in June and he caught the eye when third at Lingfield last time.

Three-year-olds DESERT FALCON and Capital Guarantee make the most appeal. Cheekpieces are likely to bring about more improvement from Sir Mark Prescott's progressive charge and he gets the narrow vote over his hat-trick seeking rival. La Maquina and Larado, the latter a winner on this card last year, lurk on tempting marks and could go well.

This race may be fought out by the improving 3yos DESERT FALCON and Capital Guarantee, in that order.

The Paul Flynn-trained GOLDEN SANDBANKS has every chance of following up his recent hurdles win at Sligo. Although rated slightly higher back over fences, the six-year-old arrives here at the top of his game and gets on particularly well with jockey Sean Flanagan. In a race lacking any real strength in depth, the gelding can double up. Flaming Moon was well beaten at Tramore on his second start over fences but could be a different proposition now entering handicap company for the first time. The Matthew Smith-trained gelding is rated 6lb lower at this discipline, so if he can adapt then he will go very close. Clonbury Bridge cannot be ruled out returning to the scene of his only career win over fences. A recent run over flights at Galway should have brought him on.

TOP LINE TOMMY jumped a lot better at Wexford last time and could be the way to go ahead of Irish Blaze and Golden Sandbanks.

In the hope that he returns to the best of last year's chase form which included a win at this venue, CLONBURY BRIDGE is selected

LET HER LOOSE is in the form of her life and she arrives on a four-timer after her comfortable success at Catterick last Monday. The daughter of Mukhadram is going from strength to strength at present and she struck at this track last year, so she looks to have lots in her favour again under a 5lb penalty. Typical Woman could give her something to think about after she went in by half a length at Haydock last time and she is only 4lb higher in the ratings now. Benadalid completes the shortlist.

LET HER LOOSE is flourishing at the age of six and hard to side against in her four-timer bid on the back of her facile Catterick success a week ago. Kehlani didn't enjoy the rub of the green when a good sixth at Kempton last time so could give Archie Watson's mare most to do. Fox Flame, Down To The Kid and Hooflepuff all warrant plenty of respect too in a competitive handicap.

The vote goes to LET HER LOOSE, who has won four of her last five starts and is only 2lb higher under a penalty for her win last week.

STRAIGHT HOME created a good impression with a decisive victory in a bumper at Cork in April and is one to take very seriously on hurdling debut. She graduated to the track with aplomb after landing a point-to-point in February. Hurricane Honey kept on for fourth in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle this month and the step up in trip looks ideal on the back of that run. Sleep Sound has posted a third over hurdles at Kilbeggan and a fourth in a bumper at Sligo over the summer. Maiden hurdle winners have come out of that Kilbeggan contest. Hats Off Six Pence ran well for a long way before dropping to sixth on hurdle debut at Cork. Reserve Amazing Amy finished second in a handicap hurdle at Killarney on Saturday which would bring her into contention if getting a run.

Point winner STRAIGHT HOME looked potentially useful when landing a Cork bumper on her Rules debut in the spring and is taken to follow up now switched to hurdles on her return. Gordon Elliott's Hurricane Honey is second choice ahead of Sleep Sound.

The 6yo STRAIGHT HOME posted a decent RPR in winning her bumper at Cork and going up in trip for her hurdling debut is an obvious move.

RANGER BILLY is a consistent sort who could grab his second career success. His sole victory came over an extended 3m at Kilbeggan in June, and since then he has been placed twice in Limerick and Tramore. Richard Condon's 5lb claim has him on a handy mark. Storm Mahler returns off a break since April and has to be respected. He was in good form in March and April with a victory at Cork and two placed efforts as well. That's About Right didn't run badly in fourth in his first handicap hurdle at Limerick last month and could have more to offer. Walk In Time wasn't at her best when a beaten favourite in fourth at Killarney on Saturday and would have questions to answer if reappearing.

The one who appeals most is STORM MAHLER, who looked progressive during the spring and the form of his latest effort when third of 16 at Cork represents solid form in the context of this race. Ranger Billy has been in good form in recent months and looks sure to be thereabouts once more, while That's About Right stepped up on his maiden efforts when fourth on in a Limerick handicap and will also be a threat if able to build on that.

Top of the list is RANGER BILLY whose consistency ticks a big box and his latest effort at Tramore can be upgraded.

TULLYHOGUE FORT is a likeable stayer at this level and was a hurdles winner over 3m at last year's Listowel festival. He almost gained a second chase success at Roscommon earlier this month so comes into this in good shape. Glenmalure Lodge has been runner-up on five of her last six visits to Ballinrobe and heads west again for another attempt to gain an elusive victory. Her trainer could not be in better form. Sarah's Soldier stepped up on previous form when third in first-time blinkers here last month and that was in a slightly higher grade. She merits consideration along with Rewrite The Script who got a 5lb hike for running well in a maiden at the last meeting here.

TULLYHOGUE FORT has been in excellent form over fences and he's equally effective over hurdles, so he gets the nod returning to this sphere. Glenmalure is a big danger and Sarah's Soldier is worthy of considering following a good second here a month ago.

This is tricky. TULLYHOGUE FORT won't mind what the weather does and returns to hurdling off a fair mark after a near miss over fences.

This looks a good spot for VISIONARIAN who was a creditable fifth in the Galway Plate last time. He didn't quite get home over 2m6f on that occasion but is a pacey sort who was placed at Grade 1 novice contests at Leopardstown and Aintree last season and dropping back to this trip around a sharp circuit will be no bother to him. The selection has to concede 10lb to Mt Leinster who is best in at the weights and performed well in valuable handicaps over this trip last year. His jumping has let him down on his last couple of starts over fences and he'll need to be sharper in that department around here. The Little Yank was well beaten at Killarney on Saturday but can contend for minor honours along with Effernock Fizz who wasn't far off Mt Leinster on the Flat at Galway.

This drop back in trip will help VISIONARIAN, who performed with credit in the Galway Plate last time, despite finding the 22.5f trip too stiff a test. He is an appealing alternative to likely favourite Mt Leinster, for all that, strictly speaking, he isn't entitled to beat that rival on these terms. Mt Leinster will be a big threat granted a clean round of jumping, while Effernock Fizz could give the aforementioned duo something to think about if allowed an easy lead.

The weights favour Mt Leinster to the tune of 8lb, but the Galway Plate fifth VISIONARIAN may be able to cope.

Having been with Joseph O'Brien and Gordon Elliott, SLIGE DALA is now under the care of Pat Foley and caught the eye when staying on well to be fifth over hurdles here earlier this month. Although his most recent chasing efforts have been poor, the bumper and hurdles winner did show ability in his first couple of starts in this discipline and a pair of cheekpieces might sharpen him up. Junior Rattler, second over hurdles at Sligo last time, was narrowly beaten on his most recent start over fences at Kilbeggan and has been giving the impression that this step up in trip will suit well. Takarengo, who twice ran well at Galway, is anything but a fluent jumper of hurdles but has been placed in three of his four outings over fences. He's a quirky sort but should be coming home well over this distance.

TAKARENGO can strike back chasing, with this longer trip sure to suit. Tempo Chapter Two and Bella Bliss are also on the shortlist.

A trappy chase with no outstanding contender. MISTY'S GIFT had some flashes of good form over hurdles despite his maiden status.

BABY KATE is the latest interesting bumper newcomer to roll off the Mullins conveyor belt and the daughter of Champs Elysees is likely to take plenty of beating. She's out of Augusta Kate who was unbeaten in three bumpers before going on to do well in staying hurdles and her grandam Feathard Lady was unbeaten in both bumpers before winning a Grade 1 over hurdles. Lady Masquerade made a pleasing debut when third in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last month. She's from a good family herself and has every chance of again being in the money. Smiling Bess is out of a smart dual-purpose mare and attracted market support when a promising third at Roscommon earlier this month.

BABY KATE represents a top yard and is out of a bumper winner, so she's a straightforward to make a successful start at the likely expense of Lady Masquerade who shaped with encouragement when third in a novice hurdle at Limerick last month. Smiling Bess is also considered.

The eyes are naturally drawn to BABY KATE, who looks the part on paper for the all-conquering Mullins team.

About U.K Horse Racing

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

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

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

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

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

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