13:15 Ayr Handicap (Class 2) 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (18/5 +49%) Aragon Castle	3.6 18/5(+49%)	(5) Aragon Castle 18/5, Improved to open his account for the season in 1m Hamilton handicap in July. Good efforts both starts since, including at York's Ebor meeting latterly and remains of interest. Good runs at Glorious Goodwood and York Ebor meeting since 1m Hamilton win; respected.
2 2nd (2) (20/1 -100%) Padishakh	20 20/1(-100%)	(2) Padishakh 20/1, Useful in France and more encouraging signs for current yard lately, coming from further back than ideal when fourth in 1m handicap at Ripon last month. Likely has a bigger performance in his locker this campaign. First promise since coming to Britain when fourth at Ripon latest; may build on that.
3 3rd (3) (12/1 +25%) Mr King	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Mr King 12/1, Successful at Naas on final outing for Ger Lyons in June and offered plenty to work on starting out for a new stable when seventh of 18 in 1m handicap at York last month, nearest finish having been caught too far back. Proved to be a disappointment at Doncaster last week, however. Useful in Ireland; hinted at promise on 1m yard debut but well held over 1m2f since.
14 4th (14) (11/1 +21%) Austrian Theory	11 11/1(+21%)	(14) Austrian Theory 11/1, Has been shaping up reasonably well lately, not seen to best effect under another hold-up ride when eleventh of 18 in handicap at York (7.9f, good to firm) 30 days ago, not clear run under 3f out. Not dismissed from the foot of the weights. Some fair runs in defeat this term and this easier than York Ebor h'cap he ran in latest.
11 5th (11) (16/1 +36%) Red Hat Eagle	16 16/1(+36%)	(11) Red Hat Eagle 16/1, Back-to-back winner earlier in the season and confirmed himself still in reasonable heart when fourth in 11-runner handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good) 14 days ago. Can give another good account but remains vulnerable to better treated ones. Has done well this year but handicapper seems to have caught up with him.
6 6th (6) (25/1 -194%) Revich	25 25/1(-194%)	(6) Revich 25/1, Won this race from a 7 lb higher mark in battling fashion 12 months ago. Hasn't quite found his stride yet this season but handicapper continues to relent. Well held all five runs this year but can't discount as a two-time winner of this race.
4 7th (4) (12/1 -20%) Yantarni	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Yantarni 12/1, Brought up a hat-trick in 7f handicaps in June and took his form up a notch when headed late on in the Shergar Cup Mile at Ascot on penultimate outing. Possibly found race coming too soon when below form at Windsor only 5 days later. Enjoyed a good summer until well held latest; capable of bouncing back.
1 8th (1) (7/2 +30%) Mirsky	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(1) Mirsky 7/2, Useful ex-French performer who ran his best race for present yard when second in big-field York handicap (7.8f) last month. Looks ready to strike. Second in York Ebor meeting handicap latest; his British turn looks near.
13 9th (13) (8/1 +0%) Apiarist	8 8/1(+0%)	(13) Apiarist 8/1, Is running consistently well but looks no more than averagely treated. Others preferred from a win perspective. Consistent in some strong 3yo handicaps this year; interesting now taking on his elders.
8 10th (8) (13/2 -8%) Obelix	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(8) Obelix 13/2, Proved at least as good as ever when winning 13-runner handicap (6/1) at Haydock (8.2f, good) 14 days ago, readily. Remains well treated on the pick of his form, so has to be of strong interest in his follow-up bid. Overcame trouble to win at Haydock (1m) recently and a 4lb rise looks manageable.
7 11th (7) (40/1 -60%) Diamondonthehill	40 40/1(-60%)	(7) Diamondonthehill 40/1, Stepped up on appreciably on reappearance run when dead heating at Thirsk in May. Bit of a mixed bag since, however. Dead-heated at Thirsk in May; some good runs since but never involved at Thirsk latest.
9 12th (9) (40/1 -21%) Bear Force One	40 40/1(-21%)	(9) Bear Force One 40/1, Quirky sort who was well held back in headgear at Southwell (8.1f, 28/1) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive. Well treated but not obviously in the form to capitalise.
10 13th (10) (20/1 -25%) Stone Soldier	20 20/1(-25%)	(10) Stone Soldier 20/1, Multiple winner earlier in his career and best effort for a while back from 5 months off when fourth in big-field handicap (7f) at York in June. Followed that with a lesser effort at Chester and didn't convince with his stamina back at this trip last time. Behind Mirsky over this trip at the Ebor meeting and has yet to prove he stays 1m.
12 14th (12) (33/1 -32%) Yermanthere	33 33/1(-32%)	(12) Yermanthere 33/1, Irish import who opened his account at the fifth attempt for present connections at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in August. However, not in the same form at Chester last week. Game winner at Carlisle (7f) last month but 4lb rise found him out at Chester since.

13:15 Ayr Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The form of Mirsky's recent York effort has worked out well and, though he merits the utmost respect, it is stablemate PADISHAKH who gets the vote. The gelded son of Wootton Bassett caught the eye at Ripon last time out having been short of room passing the two furlong marker. He's 1lb lower on this occasion and ought to be a real threat granted a smoother passage. Aragon Castle (sixth) finished behind the aforementioned Mirsky on the Knavesmire but is 2lb better off, while the consistent Apiarist could pick up more minor money.

MIRSKY looks ready to strike judged on his excellent second at York last month, so he's given the nod. Obelix got back on the scoresheet in ready fashion at Haydock a fortnight ago and remains well treated on the pick of his form, while others to consider are Padishakh and Aragon Castle in an interesting opener.

The fact OBELIX overcame some traffic problems to see off a couple of 3yos at Haydock recently suggests a 4lb rise may not stop him.

13:30 Newbury Group 3 (Class 1) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (6/1 +14%) No Half Measures	6 6/1(+14%)	(10) No Half Measures 6/1, Having an excellent first season, recording her fifth win in listed race at Deauville last month. Nearest at the finish when close sixth in Group 3 at Longchamp on Sunday and she's not taken lightly. Generally progressive; close sixth in Longchamp Group 3 last Sunday; still of interest.
11 2nd (11) (7/2 +36%) Relief Rally	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(11) Relief Rally 7/2, Won 4 of 5 starts at 2 yrs, including Super Sprint over C&D and Lowther at York. Failed to see out the 1f longer trip in Fred Darling on return before good second to Elite Status in listed race at this course in May. That form has worked out well so she's an interesting runner on first outing since. Won the Super Sprint over C&D in 2023; ran creditably in Listed race here four months ago.
3 3rd (3) (5/1 -67%) Annaf	5 5/1(-67%)	(3) Annaf 5/1, Better than ever when winning last 2 starts last term, namely Portland Handicap at Doncaster and Group 3 at Ascot. Added another win to his tally in Group 2 Turf Sprint at King Abdulaziz in February. Easy to forgive comeback run in Sprint Cup at Haydock 2 weeks ago and form pick back down in class. 7f Group 2 win at Riyadh in February; leading player provided he still has the pace for 5f.
4 4th (4) (9/1 +10%) Democracy Dilemma	9 9/1(+10%)	(4) Democracy Dilemma 9/1, Has had a fine season and recorded his first success at listed level when making all in the Beverley Bullet 3 weeks ago, all out to hold off Albasheer. Likely to give it another good shot. Largely consistent this year; held on narrowly from Albasheer in the Beverley Bullet.
1 5th (1) (25/1 -25%) Seven Questions	25 25/1(-25%)	(1) Seven Questions 25/1, Not the most straightforward but he took his form to another level in first-time headgear when 33/1 winner of Palace House at Newmarket (5f, good) in April. Regressive since, however, so easy enough to look elsewhere. Change of headgear. Won this year's Palace House in first-time cheekpieces; switch to blinkers may suit.
9 6th (9) (9/4 +65%) Adaay In Devon	2.25 9/4(+65%)	(9) Adaay In Devon 9/4, Smart filly who bagged her third win this year in listed race at Sandown in June. Decent efforts in defeat since and should be in the mix again. Productive and consistent; record of 6-11 on ground softer than good; major contender.
2 7th (2) (8/1 -14%) Albasheer	8 8/1(-14%)	(2) Albasheer 8/1, Bagged his third win this year at Ascot in July and excellent runner-up efforts last 2 starts, including when close fourth in Portland Handicap at Doncaster last week. Well worth another shot at this level. Ties in closely with Democracy Dilemma on Beverley running; finished well in the Portland.
7 8th (7) (18/1 +36%) Significantly	18 18/1(+36%)	(7) Significantly 18/1, Likeable sprinter who won Ayr Gold Cup last season in between 2 big efforts in valuable handicaps. Better for return when close sixth in a Group 3 at Newmarket, likely to have gone very close with a better passage. Shaped as if needing the run after 4 months off at York last week and respected. Landed the Ayr Gold Cup on this day in 2023; not particularly solid on 2024 form.

13:30 Newbury Group 3 (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Albasheer sat at the head of the Ayr Gold Cup market so it is interesting he has been diverted here. Last week's Portland effort was a cracker given his big weight and poor passage through the race, and he was just denied by Democracy Dilemma in the Beverley Bullet prior to that. However, in ANNAF, he comes up against a rival rated 9lb higher who can atone for a Haydock Sprint Cup run where nothing really went right. Relief Rally has been off since beating Adaay In Devon to second in the Carnarvon here, but is a high-class filly if ready to roll.

ANNAF escapes a penalty for his Group 2 win in Saudi Arabia early in the year and his recent comeback run in the Haydock Sprint Cup should leave him spot on for this. Three-year-olds have won 3 of the last 4 renewals and they again play a strong hand this year with No Half Measures, Relief Rally and Adaay In Devon all lively contenders.

The vote goes to RELIEF RALLY, who has a strong record over sprint trips, including at Newbury. Adaay In Devon is second choice.

13:35 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (4/5 +60%) Sea To Sky	0.8 4/5(+60%)	(7) Sea To Sky 4/5, Promising type. 11/2, second of 6 in maiden at Sandown (7f, good) on debut 21 days ago. Open to improvement and leading claims for a top stable in flying form. Promising 4l second of six at Sandown, and that form has been boosted; major player.
8 2nd (8) (10/1 -11%) Suhub	10 10/1(-11%)	(8) Suhub 10/1, 8/1, well-held fourth of 11 in maiden at Newbury (7f, soft, 8/1) on debut 16 days ago. Should be sharper for the run. Beautifully bred and showed something to build on when fourth at Newbury; not discounted.
1 3rd (1) (5/1 +0%) Cast Party	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Cast Party 5/1, Sea The Stars filly who represents leading connections. The betting should help guide to expectations. Bred to be useful and represents top stable that has won this race twice in recent seasons.
2 4th (2) (10/1 -150%) Fool Again	10 10/1(-150%)	(2) Fool Again 10/1, 3/1, showed promise when second of 6 in novice at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm, 3/1) on debut 21 days ago. Will improve. Pleasing debut when close second of six at Beverley, best work late on; leading contender.
4 5th (4) (25/1 -79%) Kate O'riley	25 25/1(-79%)	(4) Kate O'riley 25/1, Sea The Moon filly. Half-sister to several winners, including very smart 1¼m-2½m winner Big Orange and useful 1½m winner Lydford. Dam 1m winner. Makes paper appeal and the betting should provide more clues. Half-sister to 2017 Gold Cup hero Big Orange; worth a check in the market on debut.
6 6th (6) (4/1 -60%) Pearl Of Hope	4 4/1(-60%)	(6) Pearl Of Hope 4/1, Dubawi half-sister to several winners, including very smart French 1m winner Victor Ludorum, smart 1¼m winner Mary Tudor. Dam 1¼m/10.5f winner. Of obvious interest on debut. Has a fine pedigree and represents last year's winning yard; could be pick of newcomers.
3 7th (3) (200/1 -300%) In The Sunshine	200 200/1(-300%)	(3) In The Sunshine 200/1, 25/1, last of 7 in maiden at Chester (7f, soft) on debut 7 days ago. Cheekpieces are quickly reached for. Trailed home last of seven on debut at Chester and looks more of a long-term prospect.

13:35 Newmarket Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SEA TO SKY chased home the subsequent May Hill third when second on her debut over 7f at Sandown three weeks ago. With that in mind, Ralph Beckett's filly merits the utmost respect with improvement looking likely. Fool Again should not be discounted having also shown plenty of ability on her racecourse bow. All of the newcomers make some appeal, but Pearl Of Hope is arguably the pick of them being a half-sister to a Group 1 winner.

SEA TO SKY shaped well when second on her Sandown debut and gets the nod with the Ralph Beckett team going so well, although a strong market move for Godolphin newcomer Pearl of Hope would put a slightly different slant on things. Fool Again is also respected after her opening second at Beverley.

Ralph Beckett's SEA TO SKY shaped nicely when second at Sandown last month and that form has already been boosted.

13:50 Ayr Listed (Class 1) 10f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (9/2 +0%) Persica	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(7) Persica 9/2, Won twice as a juvenile and really flourished as a 3-y-o, elevating his form when landing 10-runner handicap at Sandown in July. Just a fair third pitched in Group company for the first time at Windsor and he should be a factor in listed company. Fair third in Windsor Group 3 last time and may well be in involved now back down in grade.
2 2nd (2) (15/8 +53%) Enfjaar	1.875 15/8(+53%)	(2) Enfjaar 15/8, Lightly raced for his age but a progressive handicapper, winning the John Smith's Cup prior to an excellent second at Goodwood. Just a respectable 4¼ lengths fifth of 9 to See The Fire in Strensall Stakes at York (8.8f) but major claims back up in trip. Highly progressive in handicaps this year and he's better than he showed in York Group 3.
3 2nd (3) (18/1 -13%) Eydon	18 18/1(-13%)	(3) Eydon 18/1, Newmarket listed winner who was an excellent fourth in the 2022 2000 Guineas. Restricted to just one run since, reportedly finishing lame starting out for a new yard at Southwell in February. This will reveal a lot more. Fourth in 2,000 Guineas in 2022 but has run just once since (down the field this February).
5 4th (5) (8/1 +20%) Sir Busker	8 8/1(+20%)	(5) Sir Busker 8/1, Credit to connections and ended 2-year losing run in big-field handicap at York a month ago, short of running but running on strongly when in the clear. Can be a factor again on these terms. Won competitive York handicap last month and entitled to respect now back up in grade.
1 5th (1) (4/1 -45%) Phantom Flight	4 4/1(-45%)	(1) Phantom Flight 4/1, Finally got the measure of the poorly-placed Al Aasy having been gelded (also fitted with a hood) for new yard on return in listed race at Newbury in July, quickening to lead over 1f out. Placed both starts since in Group company so a major player at this level, even with a penalty. Listed winner in July and has run well in two Group 3s since; major player despite penalty.
6 6th (6) (12/1 -33%) Caviar Heights	12 12/1(-33%)	(6) Caviar Heights 12/1, Smart form when doubling his career tally at Newmarket in May. Has been a shade keen since so unable to match that form since, hanging left at Hamilton latest. Won Listed race in good style at Newmarket in May but hasn't kicked on from that.
4 7th (4) (28/1 -12%) Hi Royal	28 28/1(-12%)	(4) Hi Royal 28/1, Placed in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Irish version last season. Promising return at Newmarket but has really struggled since, including in that grade at Pontefract in July. Lots to prove tackling a new trip. Reappeared with good third in Group 3 but has struggled subsequently; gelded since.
8 8th (8) (13/2 +46%) Sons And Lovers	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(8) Sons And Lovers 13/2, Debut 7f winner at Newmarket in 2023 and improved efforts in defeat this term, third in hot listed Sandown race before fading to finish sixth in the Hampton Court at Royal Ascot and third at this level at Newbury. Not at that level despite finishing second in France latest. Has run well in defeat in 1m2f Listed races the last twice and has an each-way shout.
9 9th (9) (150/1 -275%) Under The Sun	150 150/1(-275%)	(9) Under The Sun 150/1, Was seen to advantage when fifth of 8 in Classic Trial at Sandown in April. However, shaped as if amiss when tailed off in Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f, firm 40/1) and fitted with a hood, he also failed to beat a rival in the September Stakes. Just one win (2yo novice) from his eight starts and others make greater appeal.

13:50 Ayr Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Phantom Flight (second) seemingly had the measure of ENFJAAR (fifth) in the Strensall last month, but there are reasons to believe the latter can reverse that form. Roger Varian's charge was never as well positioned as the former having been caught out wide. That shouldn't be the case here, though, and while he now receives 3lb from George Scott's gelding, the return to further will undoubtedly aid his cause. Persica finished a creditable third in the Winter Hill Stakes at Windsor and should not be underestimated.

Having progressed really well in handicaps, ENFJAAR was a shade disappointing at York but he eases back slightly in grade here so is well worth another chance given his profile. Phantom Flight has a 3 lb penalty to carry but he can still make his presecne felt, along with veteran Sir Busker.

John Smith's Cup winner ENFJAAR should be capable of considerably better than he showed in the Strensall Stakes, and he's the pick.

13:55 Chester Stakes (Class 4) 10f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (5/2 +55%) Marama	2.5 5/2(+55%)	(6) Marama 5/2, Bred to stay well and promising start when second at Haydock in September 2023. Took a false step and unseated rider early in listed race at Newmarket (8f, heavy) in November and off since. Certainly in the right hands. Not seen since last November but made very promising debut just under a year ago.
1 2nd (1) (4/5 -100%) Burrito	0.8 4/5(-100%)	(1) Burrito 4/5, Highly-promising individual. Striking impression when winning 7-runner novice at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) on debut, comfortably. Off 92 days. Open to significant improvement and he'll take the world of beating. Has excellent pedigree and needed only to be pushed out to make winning debut at Newmarket.
4 3rd (4) (5/1 +44%) Hillbridge	5 5/1(+44%)	(4) Hillbridge 5/1, Settled better in a hood for the first time when very good third of 10 in novice at Goodwood (9.9f, good) 18 days ago. That puts him in the mix but he lacks the scope of a few of these. Has mixed record but ran well when third in recent Goodwood novice; shortlisted.
5 4th (5) (40/1 -21%) Kokinelli	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Kokinelli 40/1, Stumbled early and never a factor when eighth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good) 27 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Down the field in Class 5 handicap last month; major improvement needed over new trip here.
2 5th (2) (20/1 -186%) Wadacre Giorgio	20 20/1(-186%)	(2) Wadacre Giorgio 20/1, Third of 7 in maiden (7/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 16 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip, which will suit, and he should have more to offer. Made good late headway on debut; has a lot to find here but improvement is likely.

13:55 Chester Stakes (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Given a break since scoring comfortably on debut over 1m2f at Newmarket in June, BURRITO is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming, and he can follow up under a 7lb penalty. A maiden through four starts, but a creditable third at Goodwood last time out, Hillbridge is a key player, along with Marama and the recent Lingfield third Wadacre Giorgio.

BURRITO dispatched a quartet of previous winners without being fully extended on debut at Newmarket in June and, open to lots of progress, he's strongly fancied to defy a penalty. Marama has been off the track since an unfortunate incident last autumn but she represents an excellent yard, with newcomer Watts To Freedom, a stablemate of the selection, also of interest.

It's hard to be swayed from BURRITO, who is bred to be smart and created a good impression on his Newmarket debut.

14:00 Navan Maiden 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (4/9 +100%) Oxford Rock	0.444444 4/9(+100%)	(9) Oxford Rock 4/9, Best effort when second of 10 in maiden at Down Royal (5f, good to firm, 15/8) 15 days ago, clear of rest. Form pick. Standout form choice and Wayne Hassett is excellent value for his claim.
3 2nd (3) (10/1 -33%) Turners Cross	10 10/1(-33%)	(3) Turners Cross 10/1, Thrice-raced colt. Last of 13 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good to soft, 12/1) 59 days ago. Broke well but weakened as if something amiss when last of 13 at Naas; plenty to prove.
8 3rd (8) (15/2 -50%) Island Girl	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(8) Island Girl 15/2, Twice-raced filly. Better effort when fourth of 9 in maiden (20/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago, not knocked about. Should progress again. She ran well enough when fourth over C&D last month; each-way possibilities.
1 4th (1) (12/1 +0%) Iceford	12 12/1(+0%)	(1) Iceford 12/1, Foaled May 16. Beckford colt. Dam, 1m winner who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to useful winner up to 10.4f Saratov. Son of Beckford has a nice pedigree; stable can ready one so watch the market.
7 5th (7) (40/1 -150%) Boherna Vista	40 40/1(-150%)	(7) Boherna Vista 40/1, Foaled April 8. €18,000 foal, €35,000 yearling, Starspangledbanner filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Aussie View and useful 7f winner Queen's Course. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 5f/6f winner). 35,000euros yearling; stable a modest 5-151 with two-year-olds on turf so best watched.
2 6th (2) (125/1 -89%) Quarry Stone	125 125/1(-89%)	(2) Quarry Stone 125/1, Twice-raced gelding. Last of 5 in minor event (100/1) at Cork (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Again finished last at Cork when last seen; impossible to recommend.
4 7th (4) (9/2 -13%) Zambales	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(4) Zambales 9/2, Thrice-raced colt. Best effot when fifth of 10 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft, 11/1) 18 days ago. Down in trip. Blinkers back on. Respected. Again a non-stayer at Gowran over 7f last time; drop in trip will help but he's risky.
6 8th (6) (100/1 -300%) Bad Timing	100 100/1(-300%)	(6) Bad Timing 100/1, Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 12 in maiden (66/1) at Naas (5.9f, good) 2 days ago. Again made no impression at Naas on Thursday; best to look elsewhere.
11 9th (11) (40/1 -233%) Twinkling Toes	40 40/1(-233%)	(11) Twinkling Toes 40/1, Twice-raced filly. 33/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft). Off 118 days. Hood on 1st time. Tough task when behind Heavens Gate at the Curragh but should find this easier; wears hood.
10 10th (10) (150/1 -127%) Rose Of Glenhest	150 150/1(-127%)	(10) Rose Of Glenhest 150/1, Once-raced filly. 150/1, last of 10 in maiden at Galway (8.4f, good) on debut 11 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Made no impression when tailed off last on debut at Galway this month; look elsewhere.

14:00 Navan Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

OXFORD ROCK appears to have been presented with an ideal opportunity to open her account at the sixth time of asking. Runner-up on debut at Tipperary in May, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly then finished a highly creditable seventh in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Although failing to break her duck in three subsequent starts, the 85-rated juvenile warrants another chance in this company. Given the promise of his first two outings, it was somewhat disappointing that Turners Cross failed to beat a single rival at Naas last time. Assuming that wasn't his true running, the Jessica Harrington-trained colt should be more competitive here. Zambales is another contender from a leading yard who should be capable of better.

OXFORD ROCK pulled clear of the rest when runner-up at Down Royal 2 weeks ago and this looks a good opportunity for her to get off the mark. Zambales and Island Girl can fight out minor honours.

OXFORD ROCK has the strongest form and she should be able to put her experience to good use. She can finally get off the mark

3 1st (3) (10/1 +38%) Not So Sleepy	10 10/1(+38%)	(3) Not So Sleepy 10/1, Gained a first Flat win in over 3 years at this C&D last September and, after a Grade 1 success over hurdles, has made the frame back on the level last 2 starts, fourth of 14 at Epsom (12f) on his latest run in June. Can give his running once again. Won this on heavy last year; significant rain over the last day or so will probably help.
4 2nd (4) (7/1 +13%) Chillingham	7 7/1(+13%)	(4) Chillingham 7/1, Useful handicapper who ran well when third at Ripon in April and York in May (both at 12f). Shaped as if still in good form after 3 months off when mid-field in the Ebor (13.8f) on his latest outing, racing freely, so he enters calculations. Faded in the Ebor; reliable over 1m4f/1m6f, perhaps ideally suited by softer than good.
15 3rd (15) (11/1 +39%) Ithaca's Arrow	11 11/1(+39%)	(15) Ithaca's Arrow 11/1, Having won over hurdles in the spring, went one better than on his Flat comeback when scoring at Chester (12.3f) a week ago. This is tougher upped in grade, but he remains unexposed as a stayer making only his second start at this trip. Up another 5lb; rising force who won in clearcut style at Chester (1m4f, soft) a week ago.
13 4th (13) (18/1 -64%) Kotari	18 18/1(-64%)	(13) Kotari 18/1, Has shown improved form back on the level after a spell over hurdles, completing the hat-trick when successful at Ascot (12f) in May. Ran creditably upped in grade when fifth of 16 at Epsom in June, so he's not dismissed after 112 days off. Can race freely but this new trip is well worth a go; off 112 days but needs a close look.
12 5th (12) (7/2 +13%) Waxing Gibbous	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(12) Waxing Gibbous 7/2, Has progressed with each start this year sent handicapping, getting off the mark at this course (12f) in May before going close when runner-up the last twice. Saw out the longer trip thoroughly at Haydock (14f) 2 weeks ago and she's not taken lightly. Progressive and, although up another 5lb, should put up another bold show if ground okay.
5 6th (5) (9/2 +18%) Lieber Power	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(5) Lieber Power 9/2, Has thrived since stepped up to 12f this summer, winning at York and a Racing League contest at Chepstow. Only narrowly denied last 2 starts, left poorly placed back at York last time, so he's a major player with this longer trip likely to suit. Unraced on soft; in the form of his life at about 1m4f this summer, likely to stay further.
1 7th (1) (28/1 -12%) Grand Alliance	28 28/1(-12%)	(1) Grand Alliance 28/1, Smart performer in 2023, making a winning return in the Group 3 John Porter. Runner-up in a Group 2 at Deauville (14.9f) on final outing that year, but after 13 months off he finished well held at Haydock a fortnight ago. Others preferred. No show in 1m6f handicap at Haydock (14-1) two weeks ago after a year off.
9 8th (9) (5/1 +41%) Our Golden One	5 5/1(+41%)	(9) Our Golden One 5/1, Maiden winner at 2 yrs who made a successful handicap/seasonal debut at Doncaster (10.2f) in April. After a couple of runs in listed company, showed improved form back in a handicap at Goodwood (12f) last month, so she could be in the mix. Excellent 2nd of six in handicap at Goodwood (1m4f, soft) which made this trip look viable.
11 9th (11) (14/1 +30%) Flash Bardot	14 14/1(+30%)	(11) Flash Bardot 14/1, Good record in the mud, successful on reappearance in fillies' handicap at Doncaster (11.9f) in April. Hasn't been able to match that level since, though, including back on her favoured ground at Hamilton (12.1f, heavy) last month. Best in the mud, but did not show it when disappointing on heavy going last time.
8 10th (8) (50/1 +0%) Two Brothers	50 50/1(+0%)	(8) Two Brothers 50/1, Successful 3 times last season and posted a career-best display when winning at Thirsk (12f, heavy) in April. However, Not in the same form since, looking a bit rusty after 10 weeks off when last of 6 at York (11.8f) in July. Has work to do. Drying ground would seemingly be against him, but of interest if there's been a downpour.
10 11th (10) (18/1 -29%) Knightswood	18 18/1(-29%)	(10) Knightswood 18/1, Winless this season but has largely performed with credit, making the frame once more when fourth of 16 at Haydock (14f) 2 weeks ago, though Waxing Gibbous was ahead in second. Can give another good account. Fourth of 15 in valuable event at Haydock two weeks ago but below form in going down by 9l.

14:05 Newbury Handicap (Class 2) 13f Race Class Flow

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

This is potentially Not So Sleepy's swansong and it would be great if he could bow out with a repeat of last year's victory. He comes up against some rapidly improving four-year-olds, though, with LIEBER POWER's arguably unlucky York second boosted by the winner then going close in the Mallard. Waxing Gibbous so nearly lifted the Old Borough Cup and should be bang there again, and Ithaca's Arrow has to enter the reckoning following last week's impressive Chester triumph. The three-year-old Our Golden One is another to consider.

LIEBER POWER has been progressing well since upped in trip, splitting a pair who were ridden more prominently when runner-up at York last time, so he is taken to record a third win of the season this time around. Heading the list of dangers is Waxing Gibbous, who is respected with the potential of more still to offer, while Chillingham is also considered.

On soft or heavy ground, the best options may well be ITHACA'S ARROW (nap) and Oh So Sleepy.

14:10 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (9/1 -13%) Zouzanna	9 9/1(-13%)	(6) Zouzanna 9/1, On the mark he defied at Ascot last summer but mixed record this season, running poorly at Newbury latest. Has blown hot and cold in five runs this season, poor last time; more to prove than some.
9 2nd (9) (7/1 +56%) Aquacell	7 7/1(+56%)	(9) Aquacell 7/1, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Chelmsford (7f) in April but hasn't kicked on, though had a stiff task from out of the weights at York latest. Second on the July course here before sixth of 17 at York; may still be unexposed.
8 3rd (8) (17/2 +47%) Madame De Sevigne	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(8) Madame De Sevigne 17/2, Night of Thunder filly who showed improved form to get off the mark with something to spare at Leicester (7f, good to firm). However, didn't convince with her attitude at York since and others more solid. Remains 4lb higher than for summer win at Leicester and will need another personal best.
2 4th (2) (80/1 -400%) Bet Me	80 80/1(-400%)	(2) Bet Me 80/1, Generally struggled in handicaps this year for current yard, particularly on turf, so easy enough to look elsewhere. Falling in weights but doesn't seem in much form, beating just two rivals last three runs.
5 5th (5) (13/2 +19%) Zenjabeela	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(5) Zenjabeela 13/2, Dual winner last summer. Disappointed in the early part of this season but better in recent months, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good, 10/1) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. 0-6 in 2024 but running respectably; this drop back to 1m should be fine; in the mix.
13 6th (13) (7/1 -40%) Sea Regal	7 7/1(-40%)	(13) Sea Regal 7/1, Confirmed debut promise 6 months on when landing the odds at Ripon in May. Pulled too hard next 2 starts but resumed progress dropped in trip when just edged out at Sandown 3 weeks ago. Needs considering. Improved a chunk when beaten nose at Sandown, suited by the drop to 1m; high on the list.
7 7th (7) (14/1 -17%) Albeseeingyer	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Albeseeingyer 14/1, Six wins from 16 Flat runs. Off the mark for the season (by 5 lengths) on July Course in August but only sixth of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) off career-high mark the following week. Came up short off this mark at Doncaster; stamina to prove as all wins have been over 7f.
3 8th (3) (4/1 +60%) Shemozzle	4 4/1(+60%)	(3) Shemozzle 4/1, Won sole start last season and got back on the up when landing 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (9f, good to firm), dictating but still quite impressive. Struggled in deeper race at York since but this more suitable. All-the-way Lingfield winner; couldn't dominate at York latest but this is easier; chance.
10 9th (10) (33/1 -175%) Miss Kubelik	33 33/1(-175%)	(10) Miss Kubelik 33/1, Runner-up to the subsequent 1000 Guineas winner on debut and stepped up from her return when landing 11-runner maiden at Bath (1m, good) in May. However, well held switched to handicaps last 2 starts so bit to prove now. Headgear on. Won Bath maiden in May with bit in hand but has gone wrong way since; cheekpieces fitted.
1 10th (1) (9/2 +31%) Reach	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(1) Reach 9/2, Strong traveller who won 3 times last season, including a valuable pot at York. Good placed efforts there first 2 starts this term before pulling too hard last time. Type to bounce back quickly and drop in trip could well suit. Ran poorly at York in race she'd won in 2023; needs to bounce back for today's drop to 1m.
11 11th (11) (12/1 -71%) Get Jiggy With It	12 12/1(-71%)	(11) Get Jiggy With It 12/1, Finally off the mark in 5-runner maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 6/5) and only just denied back in a handicap at Thirsk 2 weeks ago. Not taken lightly. Reliable sort who made all at Redcar and was beaten a neck at Thirsk; shortlisted.
12 12th (12) (28/1 -180%) Heart Of The City	28 28/1(-180%)	(12) Heart Of The City 28/1, Expensive yearling who produced a promising first effort when second on July Course. Well held on AW/heavy ground next 2 starts so not one to write off yet. Makes handicap debut. Possible excuses since promising start; interesting candidate on handicap debut.

14:10 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The unexposed SEA REGAL was only beaten a nose at Sandown last month and the William Haggas-trained filly is hard to oppose, despite a 3lb rise for that effort. Get Jiggy With It is a largely consistent performer who is likely to be in the mix once again, while Reach should not be underestimated. Others to note are Zouzanna and Zenjabeela.

REACH was too fresh after 10 weeks off at York last month and she remains of interest down in class/trip. Improving 3-y-os Surveyor and Sea Regal head the dangers.

The vote goes to SEA REGAL who seemed well suited by the drop to 1m at Sandown and still has untapped potential.

14:16 Gowran Park Maiden 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (3/1 +10%) Island Hopping	3 3/1(+10%)	(7) Island Hopping 3/1, Promising type. Fifth of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good, 8/1) on debut 42 days ago. Likely improver for top yard and it'll be interesting to see how she gets on. Well bred filly who ran respectably when 5th in fillies' maiden on debut; up in trip.
5 2nd (5) (9/4 -29%) Continuite	2.25 9/4(-29%)	(5) Continuite 9/4, Promising individual. 6/5, third of 15 in maiden at Tipperary (7.4f, good to firm) on debut 43 days ago. This well-bred filly can be expected to improve on that and she's a big player. Frankel filly; encouraging debut when well backed 3rd last month; should improve.
9 3rd (9) (11/4 -69%) Lady Mairen	2.75 11/4(-69%)	(9) Lady Mairen 11/4, Twice-raced filly. 4¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Dreamy in Flame of Tara Stakes (7/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 21 days ago. Good chance with her sights now lowered. 2nd in maiden before Gr 3 4th and still looked green; sets the standard.
6 4th (6) (3/1 +25%) Icona	3 3/1(+25%)	(6) Icona 3/1, Promising type. Fourth of 11 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, good, 28/1) on debut 30 days ago, not knocked about. Very much one to consider with improvement on the cards. Green throughout her debut but stayed on well for 4th and should have learnt plenty.
2 5th (2) (200/1 -100%) Calrissiana	200 200/1(-100%)	(2) Calrissiana 200/1, Once-raced filly. Fourteenth of 16 in maiden at Cork (8f, good to firm, 33/1) on debut 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Struggled over this trip at Cork last week when 33s; now tried with cheekpieces; tough ask.
8 6th (8) (11/1 +8%) Kalixa	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Kalixa 11/1, Foaled February 12. Kingman filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 1m winner Kalikapour. There's much to like about this filly on paper and the market should be revealing. Kingman filly; half-sister to 2yo winner; dam Listed winner; suitable test for debut.
4 7th (4) (200/1 -100%) Clarabell	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Clarabell 200/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 14 in maiden at this course (7f, good to soft, 66/1) on debut 18 days ago. Will need to leave that form well behind if she's to make an impact here. 66-1 when eighth of 14 over 7f here on debut earlier this month; up in trip.
3 8th (3) (250/1 -67%) Chica Guerrera	250 250/1(-67%)	(3) Chica Guerrera 250/1, Thrice-raced filly. Seventh of 10 in maiden (80/1) at Roscommon (7.5f, heavy) 32 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Shown very little in three maidens so far; up in trip.
10 9th (10) (250/1 -67%) Let Her Cook	250 250/1(-67%)	(10) Let Her Cook 250/1, Once-raced filly. Twelfth of 17 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good, 100/1) on debut 65 days ago. 100-1 when showing little in a maiden on debut.
12 10th (12) (100/1 -300%) You Are Mine	100 100/1(-300%)	(12) You Are Mine 100/1, Twice-raced filly. Third of 6 in maiden (80/1) at Tipperary (9f, good) 20 days ago. Another who may be seen in a better light in handicaps further down the line. Well held in both starts so far and may not appreciate this drop in trip.
11 11th (11) (200/1 -100%) Oreeda	200 200/1(-100%)	(11) Oreeda 200/1, Foaled February 14. €4,000 foal, Without Parole filly. Entitled to come on for the run. Without Parole filly; 4,000euros foal; dam related to 2yo winner but tough ask on debut.

14:16 Gowran Park Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

After a slow start on debut at Leopardstown, ICONA came home well to finish a never-nearer fourth. Likely to be suited by this step-up in trip to a mile, it'll be disappointing if she is not involved towards the business end. Fourth in a Group 3 at the Curragh last month, Lady Mairen is the obvious form choice. Third when sent off a well-backed favourite on her first start at Tipperary, it would come as no surprise if Continuite managed to go a few places better now. The Aidan O'Brien-trained Island Hopping and newcomer Kalixa are others that warrant respect.

Frankel filly CONTINUITE made an encouraging start to her career when third at Tipperary and, likely to take a step forward here with that run under her belt, she gets the nod in what has the makings of an above-average maiden. Island Hopping and Icona also shaped with plenty of promise on their respective introductions and are feared most in that order of preference. Lady Mairen's credentials are pretty strong but she seemingly lacks the scope of the aforementioned rivals.

After finishing fourth in a Group 3 last month, LADY MAIREN could take some stopping give that she still looked green at the Curragh

14:25 Ayr Handicap (Class 2) 6f - 22 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (9/2 +18%) Alfa Kellenic	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(2) Alfa Kellenic 9/2, Highly progressive 3-y-o who landed a Newcastle maiden in January and has won all 4 starts in turf handicaps since, including over this C&D on her penultimate outing. Latest success at York was over 7f but dropping back in trip won't be an issue and a 5 lb penalty may not stop her. Unbeaten in 6f and 7f handicaps, delivered late last twice; strong pace ideal back at 6f.
15 2nd (15) (9/1 +36%) Aramram	9 9/1(+36%)	(15) Aramram 9/1, Winner at Nottingham in May and doubled his tally when arriving late on the scene to take a 6f handicap at Doncaster (good to soft) last weekend. More on his plate here but he escapes a penalty and his profile suggests that further progress could be forthcoming. Soft-ground winner over 6f last week; goes unpenalised; now looks open to improvement.
1 3rd (1) (17/2 +58%) Bergerac	8.5 17/2(+58%)	(1) Bergerac 17/2, Resumed winning ways at Newcastle in June and has held his form well since. Wasn't beaten far when sixth in the 2022 Gold Cup won by Summerghand but finished out with the washing in this race last year (and in 2021). Others make more appeal. Sterling effort in the Gold Cup in 2022; well held in this last year; in better form now.
16 4th (16) (25/1 -14%) Jenever	25 25/1(-14%)	(16) Jenever 25/1, Confirmed the promise of his York run when landing a 5f Sandown handicap in June. Solid second off this mark over the same C&D last time and while this is a tougher assignment, it wouldn't be the biggest of surprises to see this 5-y-o take a hand in the finish. Major improver since first win in early 2023; stamina tested back at 6f in this company.
9 5th (9) (15/2 +0%) Kings Merchant	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(9) Kings Merchant 15/2, Showed plenty of promise in 3 starts as a juvenile and has barely put a foot wrong this year, out of the frame just once and winning 3 times from 8 appearances so far in 2024. Overcame traffic problems when striking at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and he merits respect under a penalty. 3-4 in 6f handicaps, impressive finish latest; 2lb badly in under penalty but unexposed.
5 6th (5) (17/2 +39%) Two Tribes	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(5) Two Tribes 17/2, Likeable sort who typically gave his running when fourth in a valuable, big-field York handicap (6f, good to firm) last month. Carried his head awkwardly when last of 7 on slower ground at Ascot since but that was probably more owing to the steady gallop than underfoot conditions. Each-way chance. Sole win at 5f but he's been involved in good handicaps at both sprint trips this summer.
4 7th (4) (11/2 +35%) Summerghand	5.5 11/2(+35%)	(4) Summerghand 11/2, Admirable sprinter who has been a standing dish in big handicaps such as this over the years, enjoying arguably his finest hour when landing the Gold Cup here off 13 lb higher in 2022. Well held in that race last year and winless so far this season but there have been encouraging signs of late. Star sprint handicapper over the years, winning the Gold Cup in 2022; well treated now.
10 8th (10) (22/1 -57%) Lucky Man	22 22/1(-57%)	(10) Lucky Man 22/1, Well held in this race 12 months ago but he was a good fourth in the 2022 Gold Cup here and, given a positive ride in first-time blinkers, he snapped a losing run at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last time. Remains on a good mark and while bossing this field won't be easy, he needs a second look. 4th in the Gold Cup in 2022; front-running win at Windsor (6f, good to firm) latest.
6 9th (6) (33/1 -65%) Mr Wagyu	33 33/1(-65%)	(6) Mr Wagyu 33/1, Another grand campaigner who has been a consistent feature in valuable sprint handicaps for a number of years, including respectable efforts in the last two runnings of the Gold Cup at this meeting. Best effort so far this season when going close at Epsom in June but form has cooled off since. Not far away in the last 3 runnings of the Gold Cup but on losing run and high in weights.
20 10th (20) (12/1 +40%) Rock Opera	12 12/1(+40%)	(20) Rock Opera 12/1, Back on the scoresheet at Doncaster in June and performed well above market expectations when third in a valuable York handicap 3 starts back. However, he failed to land a blow in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon since and will probably find this too competitive. Had some excuses since 6f win in June but still 4lb higher on course debut.
19 11th (19) (80/1 -21%) Never Dark	80 80/1(-21%)	(19) Never Dark 80/1, Made all at Nottingham in July but has found life tougher since, again finishing nearer last than first at Haydock recently. Best to look elsewhere. Often leads; multiple 5f wins but never really hacked it at 6f and faded here last year.
3 12th (3) (16/1 +20%) Paws For Thought	16 16/1(+20%)	(3) Paws For Thought 16/1, Looked as good as ever aged six when recently registering his fifth success at Chester (7f, heavy). Versatile with regard to both ground and trip but he may find this a shade too competitive under a 5 lb penalty. Beat one home in the Gold Cup last year; Chester regular now, winning over 5f/7f this year.
21 13th (21) (28/1 +15%) Curious Rover	28 28/1(+15%)	(21) Curious Rover 28/1, Successful twice at 2 yrs and back in the groove when runner-up at York at Musselburgh (both at around 5f) in July/August. Form has dipped since, though, and he will probably find a few too good here. Fair form in less competitive races at about 5f; has more to prove now back at 6f.
7 14th (7) (28/1 -27%) Grant Wood	28 28/1(-27%)	(7) Grant Wood 28/1, Likeable type who is enjoying a good campaign, his fourth career victory coming in the Silver Trophy at Ripon last month. Far from disgraced off this 7 lb higher mark when 2 lengths fourth to Kings Merchant at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) but will certainly need to better than if he's to take this. Four wins this year, well on top at Ripon in August; not so effective off 7lb higher since.
11 15th (11) (25/1 -108%) Roberto Caro	25 25/1(-108%)	(11) Roberto Caro 25/1, Still lightly raced and made it 2-3 for this yard when accounting for 7 rivals in a handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) last month. Probably has more to offer but a chunk of improvement will be needed if he's to follow up here under a penalty. 2-3 at 6f for new yard; quicker ground and better race than latest; yard won this in 2023.
12 16th (12) (20/1 +20%) Admiral D	20 20/1(+20%)	(12) Admiral D 20/1, Seventh to Summerghand in the 2022 Gold Cup and put in a good shift when third in this very race off a 1 lb higher mark 12 months ago. A reproduction of that effort would give him a real chance but this 5-y-o isn't the most genuine of types and he was safely held at York last time. Minor win record but very capable and two cracking runs at this meeting in 2022 and 2023.
13 17th (13) (40/1 -21%) Emperor's Son	40 40/1(-21%)	(13) Emperor's Son 40/1, Positive start to his career when landing a 5f Carlisle novice last June prior to coming up short in Group races at Royal Ascot and the York Ebor meeting. Retains potential given his low-mileage but this is a big ask for one so inexperienced, not to mention that he's returning from over a year off. Winning 2yo debut before well held in Group 2s last summer; off for 13 months.
24 18th (24) (66/1 -164%) Be Proud	66 66/1(-164%)	(24) Be Proud 66/1, His last 2 wins have come over this C&D, the latest off 2 lb lower in June. Second in the 2021 Bronze Cup but he was out with the washing in this race last year and recent efforts at Doncaster and Hamilton have been fair at best. Two C&D wins and close 2nd in the Bronze Cup in 2021; down the field in this last year.
8 19th (8) (11/1 +56%) Rhythm N Hooves	11 11/1(+56%)	(8) Rhythm N Hooves 11/1, Rather in-and-out this year, a mixed bag since adding to his tally at Doncaster at the end of May. Currently 1 lb below that winning mark and latest Goodwood second was a decent enough effort (final start for Archie Watson), though, so there is cause for optimism. Had his share of weight for most of the year; needs extra for change of scenery.
18 20th (18) (66/1 -65%) Londoner	66 66/1(-65%)	(18) Londoner 66/1, Formerly trained by Aidan O'Brien and stepped up on previous efforts for this yard when fourth of 12 in a typically competitive Racing League handicap at Newcastle last month. However, he wasn't in the same form at Southwell next time and others have more compelling credentials. Cheekpieces applied. Major weights drop for new yard but it's not yet made much difference; 0-12 on turf.
23 21st (23) (125/1 -279%) Twelfth Knight	125 125/1(-279%)	(23) Twelfth Knight 125/1, Appeared to take a step back in the right direction when third on penultimate start at Ripon (6f, firm) but followed that with a lesser effort over the same C&D 22 days later. Three 6f wins in 2023 but he's had a slow time of it this year and well held latest.
17 22nd (17) (25/1 +24%) Sergeant Pep	25 25/1(+24%)	(17) Sergeant Pep 25/1, Dual winner as a 3-y-o who started this season in good order and was firmly back on track when scoring at Haydock (6f, good) in July. Didn't disgrace himself over the same C&D next time but he's probably biting off more than he can chew here in any case. Best 2024 effort when narrow winner at Haydock in July; draw excuse since; has potential.

14:25 Ayr Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This is wide open so only a tentative vote can be afforded to the admirable SUMMERGHAND. David O'Meara's 10-year-old has been a standing dish in these types of event down the years, and he posted yet another solid performance when sixth in the Bold Lad at the Curragh last Sunday. It's been over a year since he dead-heated for top honours at York, but that was off 13lb higher and he appears to be coming to the boil now. The ultra progressive Alfa Kellenic can play a leading role under her penalty, while the likes of Mr Wagyu, Brooklyn Nine Nine and Lucky Man round off an extensive shortlist.

As far as 4-y-o sprint handicappers go BROOKLYN NINE NINE has relatively low mileage and is appealing here on the back of a near-miss at Ascot where he was returning from a four-month break and understandably looked a shade rusty. That will have sharpened him up and a strongly-run race back at 6f could be just what the doctor ordered. The highly progressive filly Alfa Kellenic is not passed over at all lightly and is clear second choice ahead of Aramram, Kings Merchant and Lucky Man.

Granted a clear passage BROOKLYN NINE NINE looks capable of landing a nice prize Summerghand can give him most to do.

14:30 Chester Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (6/1 -33%) Stapleford Park	6 6/1(-33%)	(1) Stapleford Park 6/1, Runner-up at Ripon on second start in June. Not quite at that level both starts since but 5f was no good for him last time and he's now upped to 7f for nursery debut. Second to useful rival in Ripon novice in June but slightly disappointing since.
9 2nd (9) (11/2 -38%) Marry The Night	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(9) Marry The Night 11/2, Modest form when making the frame once from 3 starts in maidens and fitted with cheekpieces, he took a big step forward when runner-up at Carlisle 10 days ago, staying on. Looks ahead of his mark. Kept on well for clear second over the stiff 6f at Carlisle this month; up in trip today.
5 3rd (5) (9/4 +50%) Groundsman	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(5) Groundsman 9/4, Similar form all 3 of his qualifying runs, fourth of 11 in novice at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 57 days ago. Makes nursery debut for good yard and 7f will suit. Sound effort when fourth in Thirsk novice last time and has good draw for nursery debut.
2 4th (2) (5/1 +23%) Karl Carlston	5 5/1(+23%)	(2) Karl Carlston 5/1, Pitched in deep on second start and eased markedly in class, he could finish only fourth of 14 in novice at Southwell (6.1f) 54 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Raphael Freire. Makes handicap debut. Only fourth when favourite for AW novice in July; up in trip for stable/nursery debut.
7 5th (7) (22/1 -83%) Tiempo Alegre	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Tiempo Alegre 22/1, Bred for longer trips and seemed to excel herself in a 6.5f sales event at Deauville in August. Hooded and while she failed to fully back that up in a nursery last time, it was a step up on her previous British form. Made just a respectable nursery debut last week and needs to learn to settle better.
3 6th (3) (22/1 +33%) Captain Pickles	22 22/1(+33%)	(3) Captain Pickles 22/1, Hooded for first time and took a major backward step when last of 8 in nursery at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago, outpaced and always behind. Upped markedly in trip. Twice well beaten since 5f novice fourth here in July; looks too risky on first 7f attempt.
10 7th (10) (40/1 -100%) Andalprofit	40 40/1(-100%)	(10) Andalprofit 40/1, Heavy ground may have been against him when fifth of 8 in a 6f novice here last week. Likely to stay 7f and he now switches to a nursery. Unable to land a telling blow in four novice/maiden races; may fare better now in nursery.
6 8th (6) (9/1 -125%) Claim To Glory	9 9/1(-125%)	(6) Claim To Glory 9/1, Displayed a really willing attitude when making a winning nursery debut at Wolverhampton in August (8.7f). Carried head awkwardly when failing to land the odds at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 12 days ago. Down markedly in trip with blinkers fitted. Won small-field AW nursery last month (8.6f); blinkered after odds-on flop this month.
8 9th (8) (7/1 -27%) Dr T H G	7 7/1(-27%)	(8) Dr T H G 7/1, Gelded and showed more than he did in his qualifying runs when third of 8 in nursery at Epsom (7f) last month, sticking to his task well. Every chance he will progress again so of major interest. Kept on well from the rear for third on nursery debut at Epsom (7f); one to consider.
4 10th (4) (28/1 -40%) Sofian	28 28/1(-40%)	(4) Sofian 28/1, Exceeded expectations at Ffos Las last month. Failed to repeat that form when seventh of 9 in maiden (7/1) at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 17 days ago and opening mark looks stiff. Belied big odds when fourth in soft-ground maiden last month but others look safer.

14:30 Chester Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CLAIM TO GLORY may have disappointed on his most recent outing, but he is better judged on his penultimate start when successful at Wolverhampton, where he was prominent throughout over further. A good draw in stall four will give him every chance to employ those tactics around here, and the son of Aclaim is narrowly preferred to Groundsman and Dr T H G, who ran a career best when third at Epsom last month.

Cheekpieces clearly helped MARRY THE NIGHT given he elevated his form when second at Carlisle 10 days ago and on that evidence, his mark is a lenient one. Dr T H G is the type to go on progressing, particularly as his stamina is drawn out, so he's a major threat, along with Groundsman.

This can go to MARRY THE NIGHT, who ran well in defeat over 6f recently, should benefit from this step up in trip and is well drawn.

14:35 Navan Handicap 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (9/1 +10%) Inishmot Prince	9 9/1(+10%)	(7) Inishmot Prince 9/1, 14/1, ran below form when ninth of 13 in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Nine wins at Dundalk but yet to score on turf; fourth in higher grade C&D contest in May.
8 2nd (8) (40/1 -100%) Limoncello Lady	40 40/1(-100%)	(8) Limoncello Lady 40/1, Modest maiden who again ran poorly when 13 lengths last of 15 to Irish Rumour in handicap at this C&D (good, 33/1) 14 days ago. Others have achieved more. Best run was front-running third over just shy of 6f here; weakened tamely both runs since.
6 3rd (6) (11/4 -69%) Irish Rumour	2.75 11/4(-69%)	(6) Irish Rumour 11/4, Found some improvement to get off the mark in 15-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago, staying on to lead close home. Nudged up 6 lb but of firm interest again. Made the breakthrough in lower grade over C&D a fortnight ago following fine Curragh run.
4 4th (4) (12/1 -118%) Sporting Hero	12 12/1(-118%)	(4) Sporting Hero 12/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022 but run best excused when eighth of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, good) 28 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Blinkers on for 1st time. Yet to win on turf or in handicap company; blinkers now tried and top claimer takes over.
1 5th (1) (4/1 +0%) Collective Power	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Collective Power 4/1, C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 9 in 6f handicap at Cork (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Drops in grade and big chance on pick of form. Gained latest of seven wins under this rider on AW in February; some good runs since.
5 5th (5) (11/1 -69%) Rathbranchurch	11 11/1(-69%)	(5) Rathbranchurch 11/1, Course winner who again ran below form when seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good, 16/1) 14 days ago. Decent track record; in better form earlier in the summer including 5f win at Bellewstown.
2 7th (2) (10/3 +26%) Dontspoilasale	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(2) Dontspoilasale 10/3, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022 but not disgraced when fifth of 10 in handicap at Laytown (6f) 5 days ago. Just behind Only Spoofing over C&D on yard debut and decent run on the beach on Monday.
3 8th (3) (11/2 +45%) Only Spoofing	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(3) Only Spoofing 11/2, 3-time C&D winner who again ran respectably when fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Getting on in years but goes well here and the faster the ground, the better; mark is fair.

14:35 Navan Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

INISHMOT PRINCE should be capable of exploiting a potentially lenient turf mark now that he returns to a C&D where he has shaped well in the past. Although disappointing on his most recent start at Bellewstown, the Tom McCourt-trained gelding had run a big race when fourth here in a much stronger contest back in May. A horse who tends to find plenty for pressure in the closing stages, the six-year-old should relish the stiff uphill finish of this track. Irish Rumour has looked a much-improved filly since dropping down to the minimum trip. Runner-up at the Curragh on her penultimate start, she easily won over this C&D earlier in the month. Collective Power also merits respect with his rider taking off 7lb.

IRISH RUMOUR took a step forward when registering a first success over C&D a fortnight ago and a 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up given she remains unexposed as a sprinter. Collective Power drops in grade and has an excellent chance judged on the pick of his form, with Sporting Hero another to consider from a tumbling mark.

Fast ground will suit old boy ONLY SPOOFING who has shown plenty of life this summer and may be able to record a fourth C&D success

14:40 Newbury Handicap (Class 2) 10f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (3/1 +85%) Mustazeed	3 3/1(+85%)	(10) Mustazeed 3/1, Back-to-back C&D winner (heavy and good to firm) at the beginning of last season and returned to form when hitting the crossbar at Ascot in July. Best to draw a line through subsequent Goodwood effort (lost all chance at the start) and he merits respect back here. Engaged 5.15 here on Friday. Dual C&D winner; more exposed than a few of today's rivals but good 2nd here yesterday.
1 2nd (1) (7/2 +75%) Bolster	3.5 7/2(+75%)	(1) Bolster 7/2, Posted smart handicap performances when winning over this trip at Pontefract (heavy) and Epsom (soft) in the spring. Hasn't reproduced that form in Group races since but may do better with his sights lowered and back on what could be a softer surface. Made most for two 1m2f wins on softer than good this spring; Group races tough since.
6 3rd (6) (11/2 +21%) Whip Cracker	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(6) Whip Cracker 11/2, Returned with a very useful effort when second in 9f Newmarket listed race in April. Failed to reproduce that in another Newmarket listed race (1¼m) and the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m) in the first half of the summer. Subsequently gelded. Ryan Moore booked and he's lightly raced. Last seen at Royal Ascot; gelded; lightly raced and not fully exposed but bit to prove too.
4 4th (4) (9/1 +25%) Laafi	9 9/1(+25%)	(4) Laafi 9/1, Pretty smart handicap performance when scoring over this trip at Newmarket (soft) last November but disappointed in the Rosebery at Kempton (11f) on reappearance in April and absent again since. Something of an enigma but a well-handicapped one judged on heavy-ground win last November.
2 5th (2) (4/1 +20%) Involvement	4 4/1(+20%)	(2) Involvement 4/1, Good efforts in the Silver Bowl at Haydock and Britannia at Royal Ascot before coming good when upped to 1¼m at the Newmarket July meeting. Good ½-length third of 6 to Flying Frontier in handicap (13/8) at Sandown 3 weeks ago. Should be in the thick of things again. 1m2f winner at Newmarket July festival and close 3rd of six to Flying Frontier at Sandown.
11 6th (11) (50/1 0%) Gray's Inn	50 50/1(0%)	(11) Gray's Inn 50/1, Dual winner in a busy 2-y-o campaign but came up well short in listed races on first 2 outings this year and made no significant impact in a Glorious Goodwood handicap at the end of July. Dropped 2 lb since but it doesn't look enough. Ran well on soft last season; lacks solid claims this term.
8 7th (8) (18/1 -80%) Canoodled	18 18/1(-80%)	(8) Canoodled 18/1, Suited by a step up to 1¼m when landing a big-field handicap at last month's York Ebor meeting. 5 lb higher now but she's unexposed at this trip. 6yo whose first run at about 1m2f was a winning one at York Ebor meeting (good to firm).
9 8th (9) (14/1 +13%) Houstonn	14 14/1(+13%)	(9) Houstonn 14/1, Opened his account in maiden company at Windsor in July and placed twice in handicaps last month, latterly over C&D (all good to firm). Possibly unsuited by a softer surface when well held at Ascot a fortnight ago. Eight races, the clear best efforts being his four runs on good to firm.
7 9th (7) (12/1 -50%) Fantasy Believer	12 12/1(-50%)	(7) Fantasy Believer 12/1, Better than ever as a 7-y-o, overcoming his regular slow starts to land a hat-trick of handicap successes since returning to action in July. Should continue to give a good account. 3-3 this term; up another 6lb but it's hard to rule out one who's been in form of his life.

14:40 Newbury Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Five wins and a second since joining Marcus Tregoning has seen Quietness' rating rocket by 27lb. She didn't look done with yet at Beverley latest, while Fantasy Believer arrives on a four-timer but perhaps has less scope for improvement. Flying Frontier burst back into life at Sandown, but was only half a length ahead of third home INVOLVEMENT and the Crisfords' colt is taken to gain his revenge, given he is a little more reliable. Bolster is interesting back in handicap company and Whip Cracker, who has been placed in Listed races, has been gelded since coming up short in the Britannia.

FLYING FRONTIER had Involvement behind him when scoring at Sandown last month and is taken to show he's still a step ahead of the handicapper. His old rival boasts lots of solid form this season and is second choice ahead of the thriving Fantasy Believer and C&D specialist Mustazeed.

While his supporters would need to forgive two modest displays in Group races, BOLSTER has a big shout judged on his wins this spring.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (7/2 +50%) Brunel Nation	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(7) Brunel Nation 7/2, C&D winner in April and largely in good nick since, seventh of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 23 days ago. One for the shortlist. C&D winner in the spring and has maintained consistent run of form; each-way possibilities.
10 2nd (10) (18/1 -64%) Where's Freddy	18 18/1(-64%)	(10) Where's Freddy 18/1, Cheekpieces on when resuming winning ways on the July course here but only fifth of 8 at Newbury (7f, soft) 16 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Clearcut winner on the July course but failed to repeat the form at Newbury.
6 3rd (6) (9/1 -80%) King Of Charm	9 9/1(-80%)	(6) King Of Charm 9/1, Bagged a first win since his debut in 6-runner handicap at Sandown (8f, good) 22 days ago, overcoming positional bias. Merits serious consideration despite a 4 lb rise. Going the right way and gained second win at Sandown last month; commands respect.
5 4th (5) (11/2 +31%) Be Frank	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(5) Be Frank 11/2, Shaped well in some strong early-season handicaps on turf for Henry Candy and not discredited for his new yard when fourth of 7 at Ascot (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Possibilities off an easing mark. Well handicapped on best efforts for Henry Candy; C&D fourth in May is solid; interesting.
2 5th (2) (9/1 +25%) Lyndon B	9 9/1(+25%)	(2) Lyndon B 9/1, Thirteen runs since his last win in 2022 and not disgraced when sixth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good) 21 days ago. Needs considering eased 1 lb. Has a chance if on a going day but has far more miles on the clock than most of these.
4 6th (4) (9/2 +10%) Bell Shot	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(4) Bell Shot 9/2, Dual 7f winner this season and he posted a very good second of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Weighted to go close off an unchanged mark. Holding form well, runner-up at Epsom and Thirsk; ought to be in the thick of things again.
3 7th (3) (25/1 -56%) Dream Of Mischief	25 25/1(-56%)	(3) Dream Of Mischief 25/1, Posted a career best when winning 7f Epsom handicap in August but only 11th there 26 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Disappointing at Epsom last time, having scored there the time before; others more obvious.
9 8th (9) (7/1 +42%) Rockstar Icon	7 7/1(+42%)	(9) Rockstar Icon 7/1, Lightly-raced winner who recorded a creditable fourth of 9 in 7f Lingfield handicap last month. No forlorn hope off an easing mark. Unplaced in three handicaps this year; needs to improve for the fitting of blinkers.
1 9th (1) (12/1 -100%) Musical Mystery	12 12/1(-100%)	(1) Musical Mystery 12/1, Resumed winning ways at Doncaster in August and backed it up with a good second of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Very much one to consider. 7f specialist; made all at Doncaster and good second at Thirsk; likely to be thereabouts.
11 10th (11) (28/1 -331%) Kracking	28 28/1(-331%)	(11) Kracking 28/1, Made it 2 wins from his last three starts in 11-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 30 days ago. 8lb higher here but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. Front-runner; has taken off of late, winner at Lingfield; should make another bold bid.
8 11th (8) (17/2 -21%) Kodiac Thriller	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(8) Kodiac Thriller 17/2, AW novice winner in December who comes here in good order, third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 23 days ago. Entitled to be thereabouts. In frame last eight starts; possibly held by handicapper but should still be involved.

14:45 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Kracking has to be noted having won two of his last three starts, but a mark of 70 will demand more from him. As a result, preference is for BELL SHOT, who was second off this rating at Thirsk two weeks ago and that followed a narrow defeat at Epsom. King Of Charm's recent Sandown success brings him into the mix, along with Kodiac Thriller and Be Frank.

This is wide open but BELL SHOT is able to race off the same mark as when a very good recent Thirsk second so looks the way to go. King of Charm rates a big threat though on the back of his taking Sandown success, with Musical Mystery, Lyndon B, Kodiac Thriller and Brunel Nation all worthy of consideration too.

Ian Williams' BE FRANK looks particularly interesting judged on a strong piece of C&D form in the spring and could be ready to strike.

Fifth (Nautical Force fourth) of 15 in maiden (5/1) at the Curragh (7f, good) on debut 28 days ago, never nearer. Trainer going well. Open to progress. Finished 0.5l behind Nautical Force on debut, could turn that form around, leading claims.

14:51 Gowran Park Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There was just half a length between Nautical Force and TRIBAL NATION when they finished fourth and fifth at the Curragh last month, and there is likely to be little between them again. The latter is taken to reverse the form, as he didn't get the clearest of runs that day. Brandon Creek ran a solid race on debut and is likely to give a good account of himself, while County Mayo will need to improve on his initial effort if he is to feature.

BRANDON CREEK showed promise in what was probably quite a warm Curragh maiden on debut and is narrowly preferred to Nautical Force and Tribal Nation, who were separated by a ½ length when fourth and fifth in the same race on debut. Aidan O'Brien's County Mayo is also likely to take a step forward from his opening run at Tipperary.

There was plenty to like about BRANDON CREEK's debut at the Curragh and he wasn't far behind subsequent maiden winner Genealogy.

11 1st (11) (16/5 +29%) Sky Majesty	3.2 16/5(+29%)	(11) Sky Majesty 16/5, 150,000 gns yearling, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 5f/6f winner Angel Alexander and 5f winner Democracy Dilemma, both smart. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Made a winning debut more impressively than nose margin suggests at Newbury last month and open to significant progress. Picked up well to edge it at Newbury and the runner-up won at Yarmouth on Wednesday.
8 2nd (8) (28/1 -180%) Maw Lam	28 28/1(-180%)	(8) Maw Lam 28/1, Useful filly who scored on her first run at Thirsk in May and better form in defeat next 4 starts, including when third in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Lacklustre display in in Flying Childers Stakes (22/1) at Doncaster last week but this easier. Useful filly but can start slowly, as was the case in a Group 2 last week at Doncaster.
3 3rd (3) (7/1 +30%) Grande Marques	7 7/1(+30%)	(3) Grande Marques 7/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark at the fifth attempt in minor event at Navan 2 weeks ago but will find this a lot more competitive. Contested some good races and off the mark without much fuss in a small field at Navan.
2 4th (2) (11/2 +31%) Englemere	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(2) Englemere 11/2, Won 5f maiden/novice events at Catterick and Carlisle in the spring. Back to winning ways with a narrow success in listed race at Newbury last month and not disgraced when fourth of 6 in Group 3 at Longchamp since. Player up in trip. Experienced and has smart form over 5f; respected with 6f expected to suit.
12 5th (12) (9/2 +68%) Stormy Impact	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(12) Stormy Impact 9/2, Study of Man filly who shaped with plenty of encouragement when second behind another promising newcomer in novice at York (6f, good to firm, 9/1) on debut in July. Only just denied in similar events at Beverley/Haydock since and she remains with potential. Similar sort of form in all three narrow defeats, the last two at odds of 2-5 and 11-10.
6 6th (6) (18/1 -29%) It Ain't Two	18 18/1(-29%)	(6) It Ain't Two 18/1, Has been kept busy this year, recording her third success from 9 starts when making all in 6-runner conditions stakes at Chester (6.1f, good to firm, 7/2). However, never involved after a slow start in Group 3 at Kempton following week and vulnerable to improvers. Exposed after ten races but she's tough; AW not ideal last time; has each-way claims.
10 7th (10) (18/1 -125%) Royalty Bay	18 18/1(-125%)	(10) Royalty Bay 18/1, Cost six figures at the Breeze-Ups and scored readily in 6f novices at Ripon and York. Advanced her form when head second of 6 to Angeal in Prix Six Perfections at Deauville (7f, good) but not in same form in Group 3 at Goodwood since. Take her latest run out of the equation and she's a strong form contender; stays further.
9 8th (9) (25/1 -56%) Perfect Part	25 25/1(-56%)	(9) Perfect Part 25/1, Shock winner of the Hilary Needler at Beverley on debut in June. Built on that at the third attempt when 3½ lengths fifth of 9 in Lowther Stakes (50/1) at York last month, suited by the step up to 6f. Not taken lightly back down in class. Improved for 6f when fifth in the Lowther and this stiffer track looks a plus.
1 9th (1) (50/1 +38%) Ellaria Sand	50 50/1(+38%)	(1) Ellaria Sand 50/1, Off the mark at the second attempt in Newbury novice. Similar form under a penalty when placed at Yarmouth next 2 starts and has since left Archie Watson. Stiff task at this level. Consistent but it's asking a lot for her to prevail on these unfavourable terms.
7 10th (7) (12/1 +52%) Li Ban	12 12/1(+52%)	(7) Li Ban 12/1, Off the mark at Thirsk in July and has run well in defeat since, 2½ lengths fifth of 10 in Sirenia Stakes (28/1) at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago. Likely to find a few too strong again, however. 1-8; just about her best run yet in an AW Group 3 latest but does look vulnerable.
5 11th (5) (22/1 -10%) Handcuffed	22 22/1(-10%)	(5) Handcuffed 22/1, Readily justified market confidence on her Newbury debut in July and better form in defeat since, though limitations were twice exposed at this level. Close 4th in a York nursery is her best form; career best needed and by some way.
13 12th (13) (7/1 +13%) Town And Country	7 7/1(+13%)	(13) Town And Country 7/1, Left debut well behind to win 9-runner maiden at Navan (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago, coming out on top in a 3-way photo. Likely to improve again but needs to. Form of her Navan win is quite strong and she finished well over that stiff 5f; respected.
4 13th (4) (33/1 -136%) Guns Firing	33 33/1(-136%)	(4) Guns Firing 33/1, 180,000 gns yearling, New Bay filly. Sister to smart winner up to 7f Jumby and half-sister to several winners, including 6f-1m winner Conflict. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Confirmed debut promise to win 4-runner novice at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 7/4) 63 days ago but more needed here. Beat three rivals at Doncaster (6f, good) but did so comfortably; unexposed.

15:00 Ayr Group 3 (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Royalty Bay brings plenty of experience into this contest and filled the runner-up spot in Group 3 company at Deauville on her penultimate start, so she has to be taken seriously. However, it may pay to side with the once-raced SKY MAJESTY. William Haggas's juvenile had the perfect introduction when picking her way through the field to score at Newbury last month and she would have learned a great deal from that experience. The daughter of Blue Point possesses bundles of speed in her pedigree and can take this step up in her stride. Guns Firing and Town And Country appeal most of the remainder.

None of these fillies has reached a useful level yet but SKY MAJESTY is bred to be smart and she looked potentially as good herself when winning a Newbury maiden more comfortably than the bare margin suggests last month. Maw Lam was below par in the Flying Childers last week but she's a player on the pick of her form, while Perfect Part may have more to offer over this trip after her decent fifth in the Lowther at York.

Sky Majesty is promising but TOWN AND COUNTRY picked up well to prevail over Navan's stiff 5f. Englemere is solid.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (1/3 +42%) Raneenn	0.333333 1/3(+42%)	(1) Raneenn 1/3, 260,000 gns yearling, Kodiac filly. Made a winning debut in maiden at Yarmouth in August and similar form when third of 6 in conditions stakes at this C&D (good to firm, 13/2) 21 days ago, not clear run final 1f and finishing with running left. Remains with potential and the one to beat. Narrowly made all at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and never-nearer co-third over C&D (good).
4 2nd (4) (9/2 -64%) Radio Star	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(4) Radio Star 9/2, Left debut well behind when third of 7 in novice at Lingfield (5f, AW, 9/1) 21 days ago. Up in trip and may do better again. Third of seven at Lingfield (5f, AW) three weeks ago and she should improve again.
2 3rd (2) (8/1 -78%) Connie's Way	8 8/1(-78%)	(2) Connie's Way 8/1, Minor promise when third at Hamilton first time out but struggled in valuable sales race at York since. Third of 11 at Hamilton (6f, soft); stiff task next time and should still have potential.
3 4th (3) (25/1 +50%) Miss Pocket Rocket	25 25/1(+50%)	(3) Miss Pocket Rocket 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, fourteenth of 17 in novice at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Low-level form when big odds over 6f at Hamilton and Thirsk in August.

15:05 Chester Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

On his final day in the saddle, jockey Franny Norton looks to have been found an ideal opportunity aboard RANEENN, who drops in class after running a respectable race over C&D last month. A winner at Yarmouth on debut, William Haggas' charge may have too much for Connie's Way, as well as Radio Star, who is likely to improve for the step up in trip.

An excellent opportunity for RANEENN to quickly resume winning ways in what looks a weak novice. Radio Star can follow the selection home.

This looks one for Franny Norton, as RANEENN has shown comfortably the most and on her second start she showed it at this track.

15:10 Navan Handicap 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (3/1 0%) Bucaneer's Spirit	3 3/1(0%)	(3) Bucaneer's Spirit 3/1, Winner at Cork in August. Very good third of 16 in handicap (4/1) at this course (8.1f, good) 23 days ago, travelling with plenty of zest. Remains one to be positive about. 12lb rise but only beaten half a length when sent off favourite here; should run well.
11 2nd (11) (6/1 +8%) Kiki Roberts	6 6/1(+8%)	(11) Kiki Roberts 6/1, Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 13 in handicap at Punchestown (9.2f, good, 12/1) 4 days ago. Blinkers back on. Can make presence felt. Kept on late when 3rd at Punchestown on Tuesday; each-way possibilities turned out quickly.
6 3rd (6) (16/5 -16%) Avatar Jet	3.2 16/5(-16%)	(6) Avatar Jet 16/5, Winner at Killarney in July. 10/3, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Punchestown (8.1f, good) 4 days ago. Has good chance on form with 1m looking his optimum trip. Short of room when turning into the straight at Punchestown on Tuesday; big shout.
4 4th (4) (14/1 +0%) Whispersinthewind	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Whispersinthewind 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, bit below form fifth of 12 in maiden at Gowran (8f, soft). Off 150 days. Makes handicap debut from a stiff-looking mark. Respectable fifth at Gowran off the back of a break; fair mark on handicap debut.
2 5th (2) (9/1 +18%) Anvika	9 9/1(+18%)	(2) Anvika 9/1, Latest win at Limerick in June. Respectable ninth of 19 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 40/1) 7 days ago, never nearer. Down to a mark of 79 now and James Ryan takes off a further 3lb so is weighted to strike.
8 6th (8) (20/1 -43%) Cornahilt Soldier	20 20/1(-43%)	(8) Cornahilt Soldier 20/1, 14/1, below form seventh of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, though did have to pick way through. Booking of Kennedy a plus. Excuses at Bellewstown; Kennedy excellent value for his 7lb claim and weighted to strike.
1 7th (1) (33/1 -136%) Goal Exceeded	33 33/1(-136%)	(1) Goal Exceeded 33/1, 8/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Cork (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip and should strip fitter with that return under his belt. No good at Cork this month off the back of a gelding operation; needs to improve.
9 8th (9) (40/1 -186%) Velvet Skies	40 40/1(-186%)	(9) Velvet Skies 40/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap (25/1) at Galway (7f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Has work to do. Form taken a nosedive since upped in trip and a first crack at 1m unlikely to help.
7 9th (7) (22/1 -100%) Bella Colombia	22 22/1(-100%)	(7) Bella Colombia 22/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Yard in good form. Decent in handicaps at Roscommon and Bellewstown but poor at Gowran; probably needs softer.
5 10th (5) (50/1 -100%) Sinbad My Dad	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) Sinbad My Dad 50/1, 22/1 and hooded for 1st time, sixth of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good) 22 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, bit below form on last Flat outing. Beaten 1l into third on the Flat at Fairyhouse over 1m2f in May but he needed every yard.
10 11th (10) (10/1 -122%) Koniag	10 10/1(-122%)	(10) Koniag 10/1, Winner at Leopardstown in June. Mid-field next time but quickly back on the up when second of 10 in handicap at Cork (9f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Up in grade here but will handle the ground and is proven over the trip.

15:10 Navan Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A beaten favourite over C&D last month, BUCANEER'S SPIRIT can resume winning ways. Having scored at Cork on his previous start, the Jack Davison-trained gelding didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when narrowly losing out at this venue in his follow-up bid. Taking on his elders on that occasion, the son of Invincible Spirit should find life easier back among his own age group. Avatar Jet makes a quick reappearance after finishing fourth at Punchestown in midweek. Mark Fahey's charge should be much more suited to his stiffer test. Koniag, who went close at Cork last time, should again be involved. Although stepping up in grade, the Kodiac gelding looks capable of holding his own.

BUCANEER'S SPIRIT again impressed with the manner in which he went through the race when third in a big-field handicap here 3 weeks ago and there may well be a bigger performance in his locker. Avatar Jet and Koniag look the chief threats.

The value could be with CORNAHILT SOLDIER, who ran well twice at the Galway festival and looks thrown in off her current mark

15:15 Newbury Group 2 (Class 1) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (5/2 +9%) Powerful Glory	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(6) Powerful Glory 5/2, £190,000 buy earlier in the year who was sent off at 10-11 when readily making a winning debut at Pontefract (6f, good) last month. Good prospect for a yard which has won this before. Impressive in newcomers' race at Pontefract; well regarded by his trainer; smart prospect.
5 2nd (5) (28/1 +0%) La Bellota	28 28/1(+0%)	(5) La Bellota 28/1, Useful form at 5f, finishing runner-up on first 2 starts before a very good fifth of 16 in a York listed race. Tackles 6f for the first time now. Big improvement needed if he's to land a first career success in this Group 2. Has progressive 5f form but doesn't appear to be crying out for this extra furlong yet.
2 3rd (2) (8/1 +76%) Billboard Star	8 8/1(+76%)	(2) Billboard Star 8/1, Raced only at 6f, winning a Newmarket novice (good to firm) in June. Very useful efforts when reaching the frame in Group 2s at Newmarket July meeting and Glorious Goodwood but he ran poorly in the Gimcrack at York last time. Made the frame in the July Stakes and the Richmond then suffered bad luck in the Gimcrack.
9 4th (9) (7/1 +79%) Star Anthem	7 7/1(+79%)	(9) Star Anthem 7/1, Bath maiden winner who has been off since finishing 1¾ lengths eighth of 22 to Rashabar in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) in June, nearest finish. Absent since running well in the Coventry at Royal Ascot; heed the market signals.
3 5th (3) (15/8 +81%) Brian	1.875 15/8(+81%)	(3) Brian 15/8, C&D winner who recorded a big career best when easily winning a valuable sales race at Newmarket (6f, soft) last month. Backed up that improvement when ½-length third of 10 to Symbol of Strength in Group 3 Sirenia at Kempton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago. 2-2 on softer than good; close third to Symbol Of Strength on AW last time; consistent.
7 6th (7) (4/1 +75%) Sarab Star	4 4/1(+75%)	(7) Sarab Star 4/1, Zoustar colt from a good family who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago. This is a big jump in class but he's open to progress. Showed a game attitude at Salisbury for a winning debut; has G1 entries; open to progress.

15:15 Newbury Group 2 (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Defence Minister made it a perfect two from two when scoring readily over 6f at Haydock recently, and the son of Too Darn Hot warrants the utmost respect for his in-form stable. That said, it may pay to side with POWERFUL GLORY. The Richard Fahey-trained colt was strong in the market prior to running out a decisive winner of a Pontefract maiden on his debut last month, and he gets the vote to find the necessary improvement to land Group 2 honours second time up. Runner-up in the Gimcrack latest when bidding to make it three wins from three, the steadily progressive Shadow Of Light also merits careful consideration.

SHADOW OF LIGHT had subsequent Sirenia winner Symbol of Strength a place behind him in the Gimcrack and is taken to confirm his narrow superiority over Adrian Keatley's charge. Andesite was over 5 lengths behind that pair in the Gimcrack but that was his first run since a debut success in May and it would be no surprise to see Karl Burke's charge get a lot closer to them this time. Easy debut Pontefract scorer Powerful Glory is another fascinating contender.

Some of his rivals bring better form but highly regarded POWERFUL GLORY brings major potential. Shadow Of Light is respected.

15:20 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (7/2 +50%) Ingra Tor	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(2) Ingra Tor 7/2, Losing run is mounting up but ran well when third in 10-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Should remain competitive. C&D winner; close third last time; solid credentials and unlikely to be far away.
6 2nd (6) (4/1 +43%) Imperial Guard	4 4/1(+43%)	(6) Imperial Guard 4/1, Opened his account with something to spare at Kempton in March but failed to meet expectations on his most recent handicap start at Ascot. Bounce back called for. Good third at the July meeting here; could bounce back from below-par run in Shergar Cup.
10 3rd (10) (13/2 +46%) Equiano Springs	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(10) Equiano Springs 13/2, Has won 3 of the last 5 renewals of this corresponding race but needs to bounce back from a below-par effort at York 13 days ago. Loves Newmarket; below his last winning mark and should have conditions to suit.
9 4th (9) (9/1 -29%) Spring Bloom	9 9/1(-29%)	(9) Spring Bloom 9/1, Back-to-back winner on the July course last month and again ran creditably when sixth in 10-runner handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm, 9/2) 21 days ago. Should remain competitive. Goes well on both Newmarket courses; not beaten far in blanket finish at Sandown latest.
11 5th (11) (18/1 +10%) Ezra Cee	18 18/1(+10%)	(11) Ezra Cee 18/1, Fair form for Peter Chapple-Hyam as a 2-y-o and ran up to best on return/yard debut when landing a Windsor maiden (6f, good to firm) in May, scoring with a bit in hand. Too free in first-time cheekpieces on the July Course subsequently and has since left Kevin Philippart De Foy. Had breathing op. Lightly raced 3yo; hard to rule out off bottom weight after wind op/another trainer change.
7 6th (7) (18/1 -157%) Regal Envoy	18 18/1(-157%)	(7) Regal Envoy 18/1, Back-to-back winner in June who returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when second of 9 in 6f handicap at Windsor (good to firm) 37 days ago. In the mix with a repeat. Returned to form when runner-up at Windsor; plausible contender again off just 1lb higher.
4 7th (4) (13/2 +7%) Dashing Dick	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(4) Dashing Dick 13/2, Proved as good as ever when winning on the July Course a couple of months ago but could only finish fourth of 7 to Bulldog Drummond in handicap there on most recent outing. Soft ground probably against him last time; reliable type who should give his running.
8 8th (8) (7/1 -75%) Miss Show Off	7 7/1(-75%)	(8) Miss Show Off 7/1, Lightly-raced winner who ran a cracker returning from 14 months off when fourth of 10 in 5f handicap at Sandown (good to firm) 21 days ago, weakening only late on. Remains unexposed and has to be of major interest. Lightly raced; went close at Sandown on reappearance; could still be unexposed.
1 9th (1) (28/1 -133%) Bulldog Drummond	28 28/1(-133%)	(1) Bulldog Drummond 28/1, Bounced back to form in a race run to suit when scoring on the July Course in August. Found out in better company at Kempton 2 weeks ago but this looks more suitable. Followed July course win with poor effort at Kempton; will need career best.
3 10th (3) (25/1 -150%) Angel Shared	25 25/1(-150%)	(3) Angel Shared 25/1, Completed a 5f hat-trick when seeing off 8 rivals at Carlisle at the end of May. Has found life tougher up further in the weights since, though did shape well back at this trip when third of 7 to Bulldog Drummond on the July Course 4 weeks ago, weakening only last ½f. Good third on soft ground last time and less testing conditions ought to suit; chance.
5 11th (5) (12/1 -100%) Jungle Land	12 12/1(-100%)	(5) Jungle Land 12/1, Kodiac gelding who finished runner-up on first 2 starts and made most of good opportunity when making all in 12-runner maiden at Redcar (6f) back in May. Joined new connections for 60,000 gns in July and shaped as if needing the run at Southwell last month. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Might have needed latest run on stable debut; progressive prior to that; cheekpieces added.

15:20 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Equiano Springs has won this contest three times in the past, but he found Spring Bloom too good on the July Course here last month. The latter has been beaten at Sandown subsequently, when finishing behind fourth-placed MISS SHOW OFF, and it's Clive Cox's unexposed filly who gets the vote. She returned from a long layoff on that occasion and there looks plenty more to come, with an apprentice's 5lb allowance further helping her cause. Regal Envoy went close at Windsor and can feature once again.

MISS SHOW OFF ran a cracker after 14 months off when a close fourth at Sandown 3 weeks ago and, with the run likely to have brought her on, she makes plenty of appeal, not least given her unexposed profile. Jungle Land gave the impression he may have needed the run on his recent yard debut and retains potential, with Ingra Tor also of interest.

In an open contest, a chance is taken on the veteran EQUIANO SPRINGS under what may be his optimum conditions.

First run since leaving Anthony Mullins when creditable sixth of 15 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 14/1) 18 days ago.

4 8th (4) (4/1 +0%) Harriet Eagle	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Harriet Eagle 4/1, 14/1, won 16-runner handicap at this course (7f, good) 56 days ago on reappearance, always holding on under Billy Lee.

6 9th (6) (20/1 -100%) Thefullbackline	20 20/1(-100%)	(6) Thefullbackline 20/1, 4/1, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. 13-race maiden; best recent form has come over further and up against it here.

15:26 Gowran Park Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BLUE WOOD went down by just a neck and a short head when third at Cork last week. A winner at Down Royal in June, the Requinto bay should give a good account of himself with the champion jockey aboard. Successful at Laytown on Monday, Cherry Pink is turned out again quickly and it will come as no surprise if she manages to follow-up on her seaside victory. Lorr's Girl and Harriet Eagle are others bidding to go back-to-back, with the latter successful here in July.

Billy Lee takes the reins on HARRIET EAGLE again and this 4-y-o can make light of a 3 lb nudge for her course win in July. Blue Wood, Lorr's Girl, Monzoon and Monday's Laytown winner Cherry Pink head the dangers.

ACADEMY WINNER might be worth chancing after a promising C&D run this month and cheekpieces/drying ground could both help

15:35 Ayr Handicap (Class 2) 6f - 25 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (20/1 -43%) Lethal Levi	20 20/1(-43%)	(7) Lethal Levi 20/1, Revived by blinkers this summer, making all for second time over 6f at Newbury last month. In the frame in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f) and Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f) in between so he ought to be thereabouts. Has done well since blinkered but whether he can dominate this field remains to be seen.
10 2nd (10) (66/1 -100%) Silky Wilkie	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Silky Wilkie 66/1, It's now 20 starts since his last win in 2023 but he arrives in good nick, not best drawn when eighth of 22 in Portland at Doncaster 7 days ago. Shortlisted with visor added. Losing run stands at 20; recent efforts not his best; opposable despite new headgear.
4 3rd (4) (40/1 -100%) Korker	40 40/1(-100%)	(4) Korker 40/1, Dual winner last autumn but his issues at the stalls have stopped him fulfilling his full potential, doing well to finish third in 6f York listed event 13 days ago having typically missed the break. No forlorn hope. Habitual slow starter; running well at York of late but the stiffer test could stretch him.
19 4th (19) (28/1 +30%) Aramis Grey	28 28/1(+30%)	(19) Aramis Grey 28/1, Her losing run is mounting up but she arrives in good form, third of 16 in handicap at Windsor (6f) 40 days ago. Likely to give another good account. Tough and consistent mare but not sure she's handicapped to win this.
8 5th (8) (16/1 -33%) Jordan Electrics	16 16/1(-33%)	(8) Jordan Electrics 16/1, Is enjoying a phenomenal summer, especially at Hamilton, making it 5 wins in a row at the track last month. Very good second of 22 in handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm) last time so must enter calculations again. Seven wins this year and latest York second another fine performance; needs consideration.
1 6th (1) (25/1 +24%) Commanche Falls	25 25/1(+24%)	(1) Commanche Falls 25/1, Has yet to score in 2024 but comes here in decent nick, a never-nearer fourth of 7 to Democracy Dilemma in listed race at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago. This C&D winner needs considering back up in trip. Stable stalwart, 2nd here in 2022 off 2lb higher; good 3rd at the Ebor meeting; vulnerable.
9 7th (9) (11/1 +8%) Mostabshir	11 11/1(+8%)	(9) Mostabshir 11/1, Smart handicapper who performed with credit dropped to a sprint trip for the first time when fourth of 25 in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last month. Not taken lightly eased 1 lb. Coped well with 6f when fourth in the Stewards' Cup; this track could prove a better fit.
2 8th (2) (50/1 -213%) Northern Express	50 50/1(-213%)	(2) Northern Express 50/1, A real credit to connections who resumed winning ways in first-time cheekieces in 18-runner Ascot handicap (7f) in July. This course winner should be thereabouts after a break with headgear again sported. Fine front-running win at Ascot in July (7f); unexposed in this headgear; 6f the concern.
20 9th (20) (28/1 +15%) Dare To Hope	28 28/1(+15%)	(20) Dare To Hope 28/1, Built on earlier promise to land Great St Wilfrid at Ripon in August but ridden more forcefully when a below-par seventh of 19 in handicap at York (6f) since. No surprise to see him bounce back here. Beat Ramazan in the Great St Wilfrid; no excuses when only seventh at York last time.
24 10th (24) (12/1 +40%) Strike Red	12 12/1(+40%)	(24) Strike Red 12/1, Yet to strike this season but he comes here in good order, not ideally drawn when ninth of 25 in handicap at the Curragh (6f) 6 days ago. One to consider. York 2nd last month brings him into the reckoning; below best at this meeting in 2021/22.
6 11th (6) (14/1 +13%) Room Service	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Room Service 14/1, Low-mileage sort who resumed progress on just his second handicap start at Pontefract (6f) in July. Since undergone breathing surgery and he's an interesting contender for a yard with excellent record in this event. Unexposed 3yo; plenty to spare at Pontefract in July; wind op since; best form on soft.
18 12th (18) (40/1 -264%) Billyjoh	40 40/1(-264%)	(18) Billyjoh 40/1, Back-to-back winner on AW in February and has remained in excellent order since until coming in only 16th at York last time. The sort to bounce back though. String of good runs in deep handicaps this season; not well drawn latest; one to consider.
3 13th (3) (14/1 -40%) Ramazan	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) Ramazan 14/1, Runner-up in this 12 months ago and he comes here on the back of a very good second of 17 to Dare To Hope in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon 35 days ago, first home in his group. A player once more. Second here 12 months ago; pipped by Dare To Hope at Ripon latest; rock solid to run well.
22 14th (22) (35/1 -40%) King's Lynn	35 35/1(-40%)	(22) King's Lynn 35/1, It's now 21 starts since his last win in 2022 but he is knocking on the door, second of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (6.5f) 6 days ago. Possibilities. On a losing run and although he retains significant ability, this looks too demanding.
12 15th (12) (80/1 -60%) Coachello	80 80/1(-60%)	(12) Coachello 80/1, Smart ex-Irish 6f/7f scorer who has shown some promise for his new yard, set lot to do when 12th in 6f York handicap last time. Possibilities off a reduced mark. Not fired in three runs for new yard and looks up against it once more.
16 16th (16) (11/4 +66%) American Affair	2.75 11/4(+66%)	(16) American Affair 11/4, Most progressive sprinter who garnered his third victory of 2024 in Portland at Doncaster a week ago, doing extremely well to get up on line having been badly hampered 2f out. Big shout under a 5 lb penalty. Making giant strides this year and overcame trouble to win the Portland; can do better yet.
13 17th (13) (28/1 -40%) Pilgrim	28 28/1(-40%)	(13) Pilgrim 28/1, Much improved this summer and he impressively landed Palace of Holyrood House Handicap at Royal Ascot in June. Poorly drawn when 15th at York (5.4f, good to firm) since so remains one to consider. Drawn on the wrong side at York latest; progressing well beforehand and still low mileage.
25 18th (25) (33/1 +50%) Tinto	33 33/1(+50%)	(25) Tinto 33/1, Improved on recent efforts under more patient tactics to win 9-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f) 22 days ago. Carries 5 lb penallty but still needs considering. Two Thirsk wins this year; second in Silver Cup 12 months ago; this looks too competitive.
17 19th (17) (9/1 +25%) Rohaan	9 9/1(+25%)	(17) Rohaan 9/1, Smart sprinter who scored at Ascot last autumn. Hasn't hit the same heights this season but he caught the eye when third of 7 there two weeks ago, caught further back than ideal. Merits serious consideration off a potentially very handy mark. On a good mark and last two runs can both be upgraded; each-way claims.
15 20th (15) (40/1 -100%) Aleezdancer	40 40/1(-100%)	(15) Aleezdancer 40/1, Capitalised on a falling mark to notch a sixth success at York (6f) in May but he beat only one in 6f Epsom handicap on Derby Day. Needs to bounce back and suspect he needs rain to come. York win in May brings him into it but the drying ground doesn't look ideal.
11 21st (11) (40/1 +0%) Fivethousandtoone	40 40/1(+0%)	(11) Fivethousandtoone 40/1, Improved for the application of a visor when landing back-to-back AW handicaps earlier in the year. However, highly tried since and has often struggled. Needs to take a step forward. Better on AW now but he ran far better than the final position suggests in York G2 latest.
23 22nd (23) (18/1 +0%) Sergeant Wilko	18 18/1(+0%)	(23) Sergeant Wilko 18/1, Improving sprinter who completed his hat-trick in 7-runner handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Carries a 5 lb penalty but this game front-runner demands plenty of respect once again. Front-runner; 4-4 in 6f handicaps this year; may do better yet but slower ground preferred.
21 23rd (21) (28/1 +15%) Jehangeer	28 28/1(+15%)	(21) Jehangeer 28/1, Resumed winning ways at Thirsk in July but below that level since, ninth of 19 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. This C&D scorer needs to take a step forward. C&D win as a 2yo; quiet since a Thirsk win in July; others look much safer.
5 24th (5) (15/2 +53%) Orazio	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(5) Orazio 15/2, Good third in Wokingham at Royal Ascot, but weakened quickly final 1f when last of 18 in International Stakes back there 50 days ago. Only 11th when favourite for this 12 months ago but he's capable of getting involved back down in trip after a break. Wokingham third was a fine effort; 7f too far since but he's 3lb higher than at Ascot.
14 25th (14) (25/1 -25%) Glenfinnan	25 25/1(-25%)	(14) Glenfinnan 25/1, Is enjoying a very good season for his new yard and he bagged a second success at Sandown (7f) three weeks ago. Not discounted under a 5 lb penalty. Two wins for new yard this year but not easily recommended under a penalty.

15:35 Ayr Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Ramazan produced a huge effort to take the silver medal home in last year's renewal and boasts leading claims once again off a 5lb higher mark after his second in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last time. However, the vote goes to ROOM SERVICE. Kevin Ryan's colt was worth a lot more than the winning margin suggests on his handicap debut at Pontefract in July and has since undergone wind surgery. The son of Kodi Bear should be able to make full use of his hold-up tactics and might swoop past his rivals when it matters. Sergeant Wilko and American Affair are others to keep an eye on.

This is wide open as usual but AMERICAN AFFAIR did remarkably well to land the Portland at Doncaster last week having suffered a poor run and can make light of a 5 lb penalty. The handily-weighted Rohaan hinted at a revival when an eye-catching Ascot third last time and could emerge as the main danger to Jim Goldie's much improved sprinter. Last year's runner-up Ramazan can also have a say along with Northern Express, Jordan Electrics and Room Service in an ultra competitive Ayr Gold Cup.

Jim Goldie's pair Jordan Electrics and American Affair are big dangers but ROOM SERVICE (nap) still has Group-race aspirations.

15:40 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (14/1 -17%) Count D'orsay	14 14/1(-17%)	(2) Count D'orsay 14/1, Boasts a pretty good record round here, notching second Chester success off 3 lb lower in July. Recent Doncaster efforts have been respectable enough but he's not ideally drawn and essentially looks vulnerable for win purposes. Yard also saddles Canaria Queen. Drawn in stall 10 but he has a good record here (including a C&D win on soft).
3 2nd (3) (9/2 +63%) Thankuappreciate	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(3) Thankuappreciate 9/2, Winless since landing a Ripon novice at 2 yrs but he has posted a number of creditable efforts in defeat since, not least when going close at York in July. Has performed well both previous visits here and should be in the mix, provided he avoids traffic problems. On long losing run but ran well last time and he's an each-way possible.
6 3rd (6) (9/4 +36%) South Parade	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(6) South Parade 9/4, Breakthrough success came in a 13-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last month and has followed that with solid efforts in defeat at Newcastle and Doncaster (both 5f). Likely to give another good account, for all that stall 9 is not entirely ideal. In-form 3yo; this track should suit his prominent style, provided stall 9 isn't a negative.
1 4th (1) (10/3 -21%) Balon D'or	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(1) Balon D'or 10/3, Belatedly added to 2-y-o debut success when narrowly landing a 5f handicap in first-time blinkers here 3 weeks ago. Remains on a workable mark up 4 lb but stall 12 could prove to be a stumbling block. Won here last time; drawn wide but lots to like about his claims otherwise.
11 5th (11) (80/1 -142%) Maharajas Express	80 80/1(-142%)	(11) Maharajas Express 80/1, Now 2 lb lower than for his heavy-ground Bath win for Jack Jones during the spring but he hasn't shown much in 3 runs for present yard. Won off 2lb higher in April but he's been well beaten on his last three starts.
10 6th (10) (25/1 -213%) Smooth Silesie	25 25/1(-213%)	(10) Smooth Silesie 25/1, Notched fifth success of what has been a very productive year when scraping home in a small-field Bath handicap (5f, good to firm) last time. 2 lb nudge fair enough and she has the plum draw but a clear career-best is needed now upped slightly in class. Has won three of her last four; up in grade here but she has the advantage of stall 1.
4 7th (4) (12/1 +14%) Lihou	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Lihou 12/1, Has won twice here in the past and capitalised on drop in grade when striking at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month. Well-drawn for one who races prominently but he needs to shrug off what was a rather tame subsequent effort in a Racing League handicap at Southwell. Well beaten last time but won two starts ago and he's not discounted from stall 2.
9 8th (9) (13/2 +7%) Lahab	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(9) Lahab 13/2, Just the one win to his name from 16 appearances but new yard is seemingly close to finding the key to him judged on recent efforts at Newcastle (1m) and Newbury (6f, soft). Perhaps this speed test is what he wants and, if so, a bold show could be on the way. Fair efforts the last twice but needs something extra to snap losing sequence.
12 9th (12) (80/1 -1500%) Al Shabab	80 80/1(-1500%)	(12) Al Shabab 80/1, Placed 3 times from 5 starts for Andrew Balding at 2 yrs but nearer last than first all 4 outings in 6f/7f handicaps for present connections. Displayed promise in last season's 2yo campaign but it's proved to be difficult this term.
13 10th (13) (11/1 +31%) Canaria Queen	11 11/1(+31%)	(13) Canaria Queen 11/1, Successful at Wetherby (5.5f, soft) in April and shaped far better than the bare result last time at Hamilton (6f, soft) where she encountered traffic problems at a crucial stage of the race. Down another 1 lb and she's one to consider. Returned to form at Hamilton this month and now below last winning mark; could go well.
5 11th (5) (25/1 +24%) Dolly Gray	25 25/1(+24%)	(5) Dolly Gray 25/1, Hit the target twice during 2023 campaign but she's failed to beat a rival home in 3 starts this season and now finds herself with a fair bit to prove. Tongue strap applied. Below her last winning mark but unable to beat a rival on her three runs this year.
7 12th (7) (125/1 -279%) Beauzon	125 125/1(-279%)	(7) Beauzon 125/1, Largely campaigned on the AW nowadays and he didn't show much at Nottingham in May, on what was his first run on turf for almost 2 years. Four AW wins early this year but below best in May when last seen.

15:40 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Balon D'or has to be of interest following his victory here three weeks ago and his rider's claim largely negates a 4lb rise. That said, preference is for SOUTH PARADE, who has made the frame on both starts since winning at Thirsk last month and the progressive three-year-old may have more to offer. Smooth Silesie has won three of her last four starts and is another with strong form claims.

It was a case of 'all dressed up and nowhere to go' for CANARIA QUEEN at Hamilton where she was travelling well approaching the two-furlong marker but then saw little daylight from that point until the race was all but over. Granted better luck this time, she could be the answer to this open-looking handicap. If Lahab takes to this speed test he will be a threat, while Thankuappreciate also has claims, along with the consistent South Parade.

Bottomweight CANARIA QUEEN wasn't beaten far at Hamilton despite being denied a clear run and she can exploit an attractive mark.

15:45 Navan Maiden 10f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (8/1 -100%) Sidiza	8 8/1(-100%)	(7) Sidiza 8/1, Promising sort. 11/2, sixth of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, good) 62 days ago, not knocked about. Well-bred filly in excellent hands so sure to improve. Promising third in strong 1m2f Curragh maiden in May; not as good over 1m4f at same venue.
3 2nd (3) (10/1 -33%) Liltia	10 10/1(-33%)	(3) Liltia 10/1, Thrice-raced filly. Third of 11 in maiden at this course (8f, good, 11/1) 14 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Back up in trip. Stable having good spell. Behind North Africa last twice, getting within 1.5l of her over this trip at Cork.
9 3rd (9) (3/1 -20%) Valinor	3 3/1(-20%)	(9) Valinor 3/1, Pulled clear of the remainder when second of 13 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good, 11/8) 38 days ago, despite looking unsuited by drop in trip. Standard setter. Came forward from debut when narrowly beaten by 83-rated rival at Gowran (9.5f).
2 4th (2) (40/1 +20%) Emma Calve	40 40/1(+20%)	(2) Emma Calve 40/1, €60,000 foal, New Bay filly. Closely related to useful 1½m-2m winner Gulf of Naples and half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 7f Dream Eater. Related to some smart winners; dam French 1m2f-10.5f winner; best watched.
4 5th (4) (11/10 +51%) North Africa	1.1 11/10(+51%)	(4) North Africa 11/10, Good second of 11 in maiden at this course (8f, good, 7/4) 14 days ago, clear of rest. Back up in trip and he really should be going close again. Runner-up over 1m2f at Cork and 1m here; holds Liltia and Our Katie Girl on form.
10 6th (10) (50/1 -317%) Venting	50 50/1(-317%)	(10) Venting 50/1, Teofilo filly. Dam unraced. Wears tongue strap. Third foal of unraced dam who is out of sister to 7f 2yo winner Legitimus; tongue-tie.
5 7th (5) (28/1 -180%) Our Katie Girl	28 28/1(-180%)	(5) Our Katie Girl 28/1, Fourth of 11 in maiden at this course (8f, good, 18/1) on debut 14 days ago. Up in trip. Should improve with that run under her belt. Nice debut when staying on into fourth over 1m here; longer trip promises to suit.
8 8th (8) (11/2 -10%) Silver Sixpence	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(8) Silver Sixpence 11/2, Kingman filly. Half-sister to smart 1½m winner Haskoy. Dam, useful 1¼m winner. Stable in good form and she's a newcomer to take very seriously. Half-sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner Haskoy out of 1m2f Listed winner; market helpful.
1 9th (1) (66/1 -100%) Unique Frequency	66 66/1(-100%)	(1) Unique Frequency 66/1, Ivawood filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 11f El Beau and 10.7f-1¾m winner Dame Rapide.

15:45 Navan Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Having shaped with promise on both runs to date, the Joseph O'Brien-trained VALINOR can make it third-time lucky. Fourth on her racecourse debut at Limerick in July, the daughter of Free Eagle was just touched off at Gowran Park last time. With the potential for further improvement, she is given the vote. Runner-up on her two most recent starts, North Africa rates a serious threat. With four runs to date, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly might not be open to as much improvement as some of her rivals, but she makes up for it with an edge in terms of experience. Ger Lyons' well-bred newcomer Silver Sixpence has to be monitored closely in the market. Her stable has introduced a couple of well-backed debut winners this season.

It may pay to side with Juddmonte newcomer SILVER SIXPENCE starting out over a trip she should find very suitable on breeding. Valinor, Sidiza and North Africa have all displayed a fair level of ability and are expected to be involved come the finish.

Having shown a willing attitude under pressure when runnner-up at Gowran, VALINOR is given slight preference over North Africa

15:50 Newbury Stakes (Class 4) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (5/2 +9%) Stem	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(9) Stem 5/2, Foaled April 26. €23,000 foal, €120,000 2-y-o, Calyx colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Malossol. Interesting newcomer. 120,000euros breeze-up 2yo by Calyx; late foal but needs a close look.
10 2nd (10) (13/2 +54%) Tequila Star	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(10) Tequila Star 13/2, Sent off 80/1 and ran to just a modest level when seventh of 10 in 7f maiden at Sandown (good) on debut 22 days ago. Should improve. 80-1 for maiden at Sandown (7f, good) when never-dangerous seventh of ten after slow start.
1 3rd (1) (9/4 -80%) The Fingal Raven	2.25 9/4(-80%)	(1) The Fingal Raven 9/4, Tall colt who showed improved form to get off the mark in 13-runner novice at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago, travelling well and leading 2f out. May do better still and has strong claims under a penalty. Won in good style at Kempton (7f, AW) latest; has almost the only worthwhile form in this.
7 4th (7) (14/1 +58%) Secret Mission	14 14/1(+58%)	(7) Secret Mission 14/1, Has a good pedigree but finished last of 7 at Ffos Las on debut 66 days ago. 10-1, last of seven in maiden at Ffos Las (6f, maiden) in July, so needs a transformation.
2 5th (2) (11/2 +61%) Al Samed	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(2) Al Samed 11/2, Well-bred son of Dubawi who could hardly have shown any less on his recent debut at Ascot. Should be capable of better. By Dubawi; 12-1 for a maiden at Ascot (7f, soft) 15 days ago and finished out the back.
8 6th (8) (6/1 -20%) Shiplake	6 6/1(-20%)	(8) Shiplake 6/1, Foaled March 15. €75,000 yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Half-brother to winner abroad by Sea The Stars. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 13.3f/1¾m winner (stays 16.5f) Night Sparkle. Plenty to like on paper. 75,000euros yearling; trainer quiet with 2yos but had a pretty useful sort win this month.
11 7th (11) (100/1 -100%) Downcliffe Flyer	100 100/1(-100%)	(11) Downcliffe Flyer 100/1, Down the field in 2 novice events. Sixth of seven at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy) and last of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm).

15:50 Newbury Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

In what looks a trappy affair, a chance is taken on last-time-out winner THE FINGAL RAVEN. The son of Mehmas impressed when coming clear of his rivals in the closing stages over 7f at Kempton earlier this month, and he looks capable of putting his relative experience to good use against some unexposed rivals. The booking of Ryan Moore aboard Stem catches the eye and the 120,000-euro breeze-up purchase is respected most out of the newcomers before market clues are known. Al Samed and Shiplake also warrant respect.

THE FINGAL RAVEN left his previous efforts behind when opening his account in decisive fashion at Kempton 17 days ago and, with his physique pointing towards further improvement, he looks up to defying a penalty. Stem and Shiplake are a pair of interesting newcomers who require close market scrutiny.

With so little form among his rivals, the most likely dangers to THE FINGAL RAVEN are the newcomers Stem and Shiplake.

9 1st (9) (9/1 +50%) Robert Johnson	9 9/1(+50%)	(9) Robert Johnson 9/1, Has found the going tough in several strong staying handicaps thus term but down in class, he found only Bringbackmemories too strong at Musselburgh a week ago. Nudged up 1 lb and this is a better race. Best run for new yard when second to Bringbackmemories last weekend; this demands more.
6 2nd (6) (4/1 +38%) Premiere Ligne	4 4/1(+38%)	(6) Premiere Ligne 4/1, Winner at Lingfield in May and even better form since, runner-up all 3 starts since, confirming stamina for 20.4f at Goodwood last month. Raised 3 lb but he's in the form of his life so he can remain competitive. In good form, including second over 2m4f at Glorious Goodwood; unexposed as a stayer.
8 3rd (8) (12/1 +14%) Duke Of Verona	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Duke Of Verona 12/1, Dropped to a handy mark and performed creditably both starts this summer, latterly when close second of 8 in handicap at Goodwood. Shuffled back at Kempton a fortnight ago so that isn't a race to judge him harshly on. Went close over 2m at Goodwood since and caught too far back on AW latest (still in form).
2 4th (2) (6/1 -80%) Trooper Bisdee	6 6/1(-80%)	(2) Trooper Bisdee 6/1, Continued on the up in 2024, winning first 2 starts back at Nottingham (2m) and Pontefract (18f,). Sent off a warm order in the Northumberland Plate but found that environment a lot more taxing, albeit he wasn't seen to best effect. Freshened up and chance he can get back on the up. Excuse when well-beaten favourite in Northumberland Plate in June; could resume progress.
7 5th (7) (10/1 +0%) Story Horse	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Story Horse 10/1, Well ridden when doubling his tally Haydock in July and fine second back on the AW at Southwell 17 days ago. This new trip asks a new question but he's a pretty reliable type. Two turf wins at up to 1m6f this summer; good 2nd on AW latest but this trip is an unknown.
10 6th (10) (15/8 -15%) Tactician	1.875 15/8(-15%)	(10) Tactician 15/8, Stayed on well to lead near the finish in a 2m Ascot handicap in July. Drop to 13.9f looked against him in the Melrose but it was still an excellent effort and he's a 3-y-o stayer on the up. Cheekpieces on and he's a huge player. Progressive 3yo who should be suited by this increased stamina test; cheekpieces on.
11 7th (11) (40/1 -82%) The Grand Visir	40 40/1(-82%)	(11) The Grand Visir 40/1, It's now 31 runs since his last win in 201 and he hasn't come close to replicating his Ascor form in August twice since. Third at Ascot last month but below par since and this 10yo last tasted success in 2019.
5 8th (5) (28/1 -56%) Diamond Bay	28 28/1(-56%)	(5) Diamond Bay 28/1, Cast aside a trio of heavy defeats when third of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (2m) 18 days ago. Eased further 1 lb so lurks on a dangerous mark if able to build on that. Back-to-form third over 2m latest but didn't see out 2m2f when sixth in this in 2022.
12 9th (12) (22/1 -22%) Yorkindness	22 22/1(-22%)	(12) Yorkindness 22/1, Down in the weights and back on track when placed twice over this trip at Musselburgh, albeit she was behind a couple of these last week. 1 lb out of the weights. Five wins last year but yet to hit target this year and behind two of these last weekend.
4 10th (4) (18/1 -29%) Bringbackmemories	18 18/1(-29%)	(4) Bringbackmemories 18/1, Saw out 18.1f really well when winning 8-runner handicap at Musselburgh a weeks ago (Robert Johnson second). 2 lb rise perfectly fair though this is a deeper race. Nudged up only 2lb for last Saturday's 2m2f win at Musselburgh; should be competitive.
3 11th (3) (14/1 +0%) Shagpyle	14 14/1(+0%)	(3) Shagpyle 14/1, Heavily backed prior to doubling tally on first crack at 2m in 6-runner contest at Ffos Las in June. Sound-enough efforts in deeper handicaps since and she's on that last winning mark. Well held on AW debut latest but boasts a solid record on turf.

15:55 Newmarket Handicap (Class 2) 18f Race Class Flow

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

Andrew Balding sent out a three-year-old to win last year's renewal and TACTICIAN makes plenty of appeal stepping up in trip. The son of Lope De Vega won over 2m at Ascot prior to a decent York effort and first-time cheekpieces may also bring further improvement. Premiere Ligne went close over the extended 2m4f at Glorious Goodwood and is worthy of consideration on that form, while Trooper Bisdee scored over this distance at Pontefract during the summer and is preferred to Musselburgh winner Bringbackmemories.

Despite finding the test of stamina inadequate, TACTICIAN still ran really well when third in a more than up-to-scratch Melrose at York and this improving 3-y-o makes strong appeal upped in trip fitted with headgear for the first time. Trooper Bisdee may well get back on the up given his profile and trainer so he commands respect, along with Premiere Ligne.

Andrew Balding took this with a 3yo last year and can repeat the feat with TACTICIAN (nap), who should relish this stamina test.

This is a tough ask though. Won at the 4th attempt in fillies' maiden at Clonmel but this is a sharp rise in class.
5 5th (5) (4/1 +0%) Azada	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Azada 4/1, Thrice-raced winner. 4 lengths third of 8 to Lord Massusus in listed race at the Curragh (8f, good, evens) 83 days ago. Stable having good spell. Should progress. 6th in Irish 1,000 before she was turned over at evens latest but unexposed.
10 6th (10) (20/1 +9%) Rubies Are Red	20 20/1(+9%)	(10) Rubies Are Red 20/1, Fairly useful filly. 6/4, respectable third of 7 in maiden at Galway (12f, good) 11 days ago. Down in trip.

Latest win at Leopardstown in July. 17/2, fourteenth of 19 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 7 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Difficult ask. 3-time winner but plenty to find at this level; blinkers on.
2 8th (2) (9/1 +0%) Goldana	9 9/1(+0%)	(2) Goldana 9/1, Useful mare. Creditable 1¼ lengths second of 8 to Ocean Jewel in Lanwades Stud Stakes at the Curragh (8f, good to soft, 7/1), well positioned. Off 118 days. Trainer going well. Ought to go close. Gr 3 winner; Listed winner earlier in year; good run latest but drying ground against her.
4 9th (4) (100/1 -355%) Valpolicella	100 100/1(-355%)	(4) Valpolicella 100/1, Useful mare. 40/1, first run since leaving Henk Grewe when 10¼ lengths ninth of 10 to Gregarina in Athasi Stakes at the Curragh (7f, soft) on IRE debut.

16:01 Gowran Park Group 3 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Joseph O'Brien saddles half the field, with Uluru, Je Zous and Goldana his leading hopes. Dylan Browne McMonagle takes the ride on the former, who has a course win to her name. Beaten by just three-quarters of a length at Deauville on her penultimate start, she had a far from clear passage when last seen at the Curragh. After a fine effort in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot, the aforementioned Je Zous is likely to have plenty of supporters, while Oaks fifth Caught U Looking and Azada are other leading hopes. However, it might be worth siding with ONE LOOK. So impressive when successful in the Goffs Million as a juvenile, she got back on track in the Ruby Stakes at Killarney last month and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to follow-up.

CAUGHT U LOOKING holds the edge on form so edges the vote in this competitive Group 3 event. Goldana could emerge as the main danger after a break with his yard going well, although Azada and Uluru can both have a say too.

ULURU was only narrowly denied in a Group 3 in France before not getting a clear run at the Curragh last time and her turn is near

16:10 Ayr Handicap (Class 4) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
11 1st (11) (10/1 -43%) Jenni	10 10/1(-43%)	(11) Jenni 10/1, Has made the frame on several occasions this year, leaving behind a lesser effort when runner-up in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm) a week ago. Upped in grade as she looks for her first win, but she remains unexposed at this trip. No match for the winner when tried over 7f last week at Musselburgh.
2 2nd (2) (9/4 +44%) Al Muqdad	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(2) Al Muqdad 9/4, Improved performer this year, winning 4 times in handicaps including twice at this C&D. Unsuited by way the race developed at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, so no surprise to see him bounce back with cheekpieces applied. Possibilities if getting a strong pace to chase, his ideal scenario.
3 3rd (3) (8/1 -78%) The Caltonian	8 8/1(-78%)	(3) The Caltonian 8/1, Dual winner on all-weather at the start of the year and arrives in good heart, getting going too late dropped back in trip when fifth of 13 at Southwell (5f) last time. Merits consideration returned to 7f from his lower mark on turf. Running well on turf prior to further good efforts off his higher AW mark.
8 4th (8) (11/1 +21%) Wreck It Ryley	11 11/1(+21%)	(8) Wreck It Ryley 11/1, Gained reward for several near misses earlier in the campaign when successful at Ripon (6f, good to firm) at the end of August, scoring with a bit in hand. However, he needs to shrug off a poor effort at York 13 days ago. Ripon winner who then got restless in the stalls when last at York; could bounce back.
1 5th (1) (9/2 +25%) Redarna	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(1) Redarna 9/2, Six-time C&D winner who capitalised on his falling mark when making all at Carlisle (7.8f) last month. Creditable fifth of 9 back at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) last time and he could be thereabouts returned to this venue. Exposed 15-time winner; below best the last time and has a lot of weight to carry.
7 6th (7) (7/1 -17%) Prairie Falcon	7 7/1(-17%)	(7) Prairie Falcon 7/1, Last win came in nursery at this meeting back in 2022. Usually held up and he never landed a blow when seventh of 11 at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) on his latest outing. Needs things to drop right with cheekpieces now the choice of headgear. Good mark; penultimate run encouraging; cheekpieces fitted after lesser latest effort.
10 7th (10) (7/1 +42%) Yaaser	7 7/1(+42%)	(10) Yaaser 7/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 12/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, good) 2 days ago. Something to find on form. Engaged 4.45 here Friday. Had not been having the best of seasons before coming from rear to win here (1m) on Friday.
6 8th (6) (16/1 -60%) Tierney	16 16/1(-60%)	(6) Tierney 16/1, Gave a good account in listed race at Carlisle in June and backed that up when second in a Leicester handicap (7f, good to firm) the following month. Below form at Newbury last time, though, and has something to find with visor reached for. Inconsistent but she's capable should the visor trigger a positive response.
5 9th (5) (33/1 -136%) Craven	33 33/1(-136%)	(5) Craven 33/1, Bounced back to his best when getting up late for success at York in July. However, has failed to repeat that effort both starts since, well held at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) earlier this month. Blinkers now replace the usual visor. Twice flopped since his York success and the visor is now replaced by blinkers.
12 10th (12) (80/1 -220%) Chiefman	80 80/1(-220%)	(12) Chiefman 80/1, Winner on handicap/seasonal debut at Newcastle in March but hasn't kicked on since. Making his first start since leaving Archie Watson, finished last of 6 at this course (10f, good to firm) when last seen in July. Others preferred back down in trip. Hard to trust after a quiet stable debut, and especially at this shorter trip.
4 \|RR\| (4) (16/1 -100%) Judgment Call	16 16/1(-100%)	(4) Judgment Call 16/1, Struggled for consistency this year but one of his better races when edged out late on at Carlisle in August. Ran respectably making a rare start on all-weather when sixth of 14 at Southwell (7.1f) 23 days ago and he's capable of getting involved. Neck away at Carlisle before performing respectably when 100-1 on the AW.

16:10 Ayr Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Jenni bounced back to form when hitting the crossbar at Musselburgh last week and she should give a good account off 1lb higher. However, she may come out second best to TIERNEY, who ran too bad to be true when finishing down the field at Newbury last time and is better judged on her runner-up effort at Leicester prior to that display. If she can reproduce that level of form, she could be the one to beat in a first-time visor. Wreck It Ryley completes the shortlist.

A four-time winner this season, AL MUQDAD was left on the back foot after a slow start at Thirsk 2 weeks ago, so he is worth forgiving his latest run with cheekpieces now added. He is taken to land a third C&D success, while The Caltonian made the frame here 3 times during the summer and could be the main danger. Redarna also enters calculations.

There should be a good pace on and that will suit PRAIRIE FALCON who ran a positive penultimate race and now has cheekpieces fitted.

16:15 Chester Handicap (Class 3) 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (7/2 +22%) Vintage Clarets	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(2) Vintage Clarets 7/2, Enjoyed a very successful 2023 campaign, scoring 4 times. Has failed to trouble the judge since finishing a close third of 11 over C&D during the spring but, not for the first time, he shaped better than the bare result suggests at Doncaster last weekend. Down another 2 lb and he's a major player. Conditions to suit and he's on a dangerous mark; draw not ideal but still a key player.
5 2nd (5) (22/1 -120%) Hyperfocus	22 22/1(-120%)	(5) Hyperfocus 22/1, Dual scorer here during the summer but form has nosedived badly the last twice. Dangerous to fully discount given his Chester record but he certainly needs to bounce back and, in any case, Copper Knight is presumably the stable No 1. Two course wins in midsummer; less good last twice; opposable despite returning to Chester.
1 3rd (1) (7/2 -5%) Roman Dragon	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(1) Roman Dragon 7/2, Commenced 2024 with a win in Bahrain and best efforts since returning to these shores have come in handicaps round here, most recently going close over 6f in a 10-runner contest 3 weeks ago. Hard to grumble with a 1 lb nudge and he should be involved again from a handy draw. Course regular; just missed out in a blanket finish latest; longer trip preferable.
10 4th (10) (40/1 -150%) Bang On The Bell	40 40/1(-150%)	(10) Bang On The Bell 40/1, Back to form when second of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) last month and followed that with another creditable effort in defeat at Sandown. His turn is probably near but he has failed to land a blow in 3 previous visits here. He's run creditably on turf the last twice but this is a step up in class.
7 5th (7) (20/1 -208%) Cloud King	20 20/1(-208%)	(7) Cloud King 20/1, Looked a potentially useful sort in the spring and returned to form when readily winning 7-runner handicap at Haydock (5f, good) in July. Wasn't disgraced at York recently but he's probably a shade too high in the weights for now. Haydock win in July promised better; well held in Class 3s twice since; still low mileage.
8 6th (8) (11/2 +31%) Copper Knight	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(8) Copper Knight 11/2, Veteran who has produced two of this season's better efforts over this C&D, just touched off by Democracy Dilemma at the May meeting (3 of these rivals behind) and then returned here with a decisive success the following month. Largely below par since but has the plum draw and couldn't rule out. Veteran with four course wins to his name; on a winning mark; danger to all from stall 1.
9 7th (9) (9/1 -13%) Secret Mistral	9 9/1(-13%)	(9) Secret Mistral 9/1, Resumed from five months off with a career best in landing a 13-runner handicap at Haydock (5f, good) in June and has remained in top form since. The only real negative surrounding this filly is her draw. Running well this summer, including C&D, but up in class and drawn widest.
6 8th (6) (16/1 -256%) Almaty Star	16 16/1(-256%)	(6) Almaty Star 16/1, Got the job done on turf for the first time in a small-field handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) earlier this month. Just touched off on the AW 11 days later and while this is more demanding, he could have a part to play from a handy draw. Yard also fields Cloud King. Two wins & several good runs in defeat this year; creeping up the weights; should run well.
3 9th (3) (11/4 +77%) Radio Goo Goo	2.75 11/4(+77%)	(3) Radio Goo Goo 11/4, Clearly likes it round here, making it 3-4 on the Roodee when taking a 6f handicap in June. Hasn't done a great deal wrong since and while it's unlikely that she's harbouring any great secrets from the assessor. a bold show is nevertheless anticipated from stall 3. Three 6f wins here; 0-15 over 5f but well drawn and likely to run well again.
4 10th (4) (20/1 -67%) Night On Earth	20 20/1(-67%)	(4) Night On Earth 20/1, Bagged his fourth win of 2024 when landing a 5-runner Catterick handicap (5f, good) last month. However, this 4 lb higher mark proved beyond him at Haydock since (albeit in a Class 2 contest) and there's now an air of vulnerability about him. Four 5f handicap wins this summer; not beaten far in a hot Haydock race latest; chance.

16:15 Chester Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

VINTAGE CLARETS has not been disgraced in some competitive handicaps this season and arrives here 7lb lower than when half-a-length third over course and distance in May. With that in mind, he edges preference over Roman Dragon, who was a short-head second over 6f here three weeks ago. Almaty Star's form this month suggests that he is likely to be in the mix, while Night On Earth and Secret Mistral complete the shortlist.

Having slipped to a dangerous mark and caught the eye on his last two starts, VINTAGE CLARETS could be the way to go, for all that he isn't ideally drawn. He was just behind the re-opposing veteran Copper Knight over this C&D in May and now meets that rival on 9 lb better terms. Still, Copper Knight is greatly respected from stall one and rates the main danger ahead of Radio Goo Goo, who is 3-4 on the Roodee and is also well-drawn. Roman Dragon is another with claims.

This could set up nicely for the well-handicapped VINTAGE CLARETS. Copper Knight may prove best of the rest.

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (25/1 -150%) Rosy Hope	25 25/1(-150%)	(5) Rosy Hope 25/1, Failed to repeat her previous effort when fifth of 8 in nursery at Brighton (6f, good, 6/1) 20 days ago. Switched to tapeta on first run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes. Others more persuasive. Placed at Brighton last month; recently changed hands for 1,500gns after lesser run there.
7 1st (7) (7/1 -40%) Startling	7 7/1(-40%)	(7) Startling 7/1, Only poor form in novices so far, ninth of 11 at Southwell (5f, 200/1) 26 days ago. Hood now reached for as she heads into handicaps. Well down the field on all three runs, not living up to her speedy pedigree; nursery debut.
1 2nd (1) (9/4 +36%) Miakoda	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(1) Miakoda 9/4, Ran to similar level as previously when fourth of 9 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f, 7/4) 17 days ago. Enters calculations as he drops in trip. Only fourth when favourite for nursery debut (7f) but didn't run badly; drops in trip here.
9 3rd (9) (11/1 -57%) Pure Liberty	11 11/1(-57%)	(9) Pure Liberty 11/1, Improved when narrowly denied in nursery at Brighton (5.3f) in August, though wasn't in the same form when fourth of 6 at the same C&D (good to soft, 11/2) 19 days ago. Could bounce back switched to all-weather. Went close at Brighton last month; not in same form there recently; AW debut today.
2 4th (2) (10/3 +17%) Top Star	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(2) Top Star 10/3, Again sent off favourite (15/8) but finished last of 6 in nursery at Chepstow (5.1f, good) 26 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Bred to do better at some stage. Beaten favourite in first two nurseries (both 5f) and arrives here with something to prove.
4 5th (4) (16/1 -60%) Fly Liberty Fly	16 16/1(-60%)	(4) Fly Liberty Fly 16/1, Below form sent handicapping on her last 2 starts, sixth of 8 at Brighton (5.3f, good, 17/2) 32 days ago. Needs to get back on track making her first start on tapeta. Safely held in first two nurseries, and her tendency to race too freely is a concern.
6 6th (6) (12/1 -100%) Prada On Parole	12 12/1(-100%)	(6) Prada On Parole 12/1, Showed improved form when second of 8 in nursery (12/1) at Brighton (6f, soft) 12 days ago. Respected as she makes tapeta debut. Good second at Brighton (6f, soft) this month; player if also suited by this C&D.
3 7th (3) (4/1 +50%) Smallbrook Lane	4 4/1(+50%)	(3) Smallbrook Lane 4/1, No better than mid-division in her 3 starts so far, tenth of 11 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good, 22/1) 39 days ago. Improvement required as she makes all-weather/handicap debut. Showed only minor promise in three turf maidens but may fare better at this level.
8 8th (8) (22/1 -38%) Kameko Spirit	22 22/1(-38%)	(8) Kameko Spirit 22/1, Hasn't offered much in 3 starts to date, in first-time hood when sixth of 7 in novice at Lingfield (5f, AW, 150/1) 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces now the choice of headgear on handicap debut. Showed some speed on debut; well held twice since but has lowly opening handicap mark.

16:19 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Top Star has been expensive to follow since entering the nursery ranks and Miakoda also let favourite-backers down on his handicap bow, although he maybe didn't stay 7f and can be forgiven. Even so, there are some interesting nursery newcomers here, not least STARTLING, who is out of the stable's smart sprinter Pepper Lane and has a hood applied as she attempts to make light of an initial mark of just 52. Expect better from Smallbrook Lane too.

PURE LIBERTY took a step forward when runner-up at Brighton on her penultimate start and she could be worth another chance to build on that effort as she makes her all-weather debut. She is preferred to Prada On Parole, who produced her best effort so far on her latest outing, with Miakoda also in the mix.

It might be worth chancing headstrong filly KAMEKO SPIRIT, who could take some catching if allowed to bowl along in front.

7 1st (7) (6/1 +25%) Plunkett Street	6 6/1(+25%)	(7) Plunkett Street 6/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, shaped as if still in form when fourth of 13 in handicap at Clonmel (9.6f, good, 14/1) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Has good chance on pick of form. Has a 12lb pull in the weights with Keilah here and that brings him into the picture.
2 2nd (2) (4/6 +8%) Keilah	0.666667 4/6(+8%)	(2) Keilah 4/6, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Punchestown (9.2f, good, 9/4) 4 days ago, easily. Carries penalty. Worth a chance to follow up. Bolted up at Punchestown on Tuesday; 7lb hike and is Mayo For Sam's biggest danger.
3 3rd (3) (50/1 -52%) Pinky	50 50/1(-52%)	(3) Pinky 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. 50/1, first run since leaving Emmet Mullins when ninth of 10 in maiden at Laytown (7f) 5 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Poor at Laytown on first run for new yard and is difficult to recommend on all known form.
10 4th (10) (12/1 -33%) Lucky Queen	12 12/1(-33%)	(10) Lucky Queen 12/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Has been dropped 5lb for her most recent run and the step up in trip will at least help.
8 5th (8) (14/1 -115%) Lilac Lady	14 14/1(-115%)	(8) Lilac Lady 14/1, Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Bellewstown (14.5f, good) 79 days ago. Back down in trip. Worthy of interest. Best run came when just denied over 1m6f at Gowran in June; this trip is on the short side.
9 6th (9) (40/1 -21%) L'immortale	40 40/1(-21%)	(9) L'immortale 40/1, 66/1, first run since leaving M. C. Grassick when respectable tenth of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, good) 20 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Not easy to make a case for. No joy on first start for his new yard at Tipperary this month; can only be watched.
11 7th (11) (80/1 -60%) Marvellous Lady	80 80/1(-60%)	(11) Marvellous Lady 80/1, 50/1, last of 9 in handicap at Down Royal (10.7f, good to firm) 15 days ago. First crack at this sort of trip when well beaten at Down Royal this month; lots to prove.
1 8th (1) (8/1 -33%) Mayo For Sam	8 8/1(-33%)	(1) Mayo For Sam 8/1, Respectable fifth of 12 in claimer at Sligo (10.5f, soft, 4/1) 45 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Adrian McGuinness. Worth monitoring in the betting. Comfortably won a 22-runner C&D handicap (good) in June; big chance back on fast ground.
4 9th (4) (80/1 -220%) Pretty Soldier	80 80/1(-220%)	(4) Pretty Soldier 80/1, 10/1, first run since leaving Mervyn Torrens when last of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Down in trip. Easy to look elsewhere. Made no impression when last of 12 at Down Royal this month; difficult to recommend.
6 10th (6) (25/1 -25%) Celtic Druid	25 25/1(-25%)	(6) Celtic Druid 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 15 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft, 100/1) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Others more persuasive. Lightly raced and could improve now tackling handicaps; market will tell the story.
5 11th (5) (12/1 -9%) Barrys Rock	12 12/1(-9%)	(5) Barrys Rock 12/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. 18/1, bit below form thirteenth of 21 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 72 days ago. Others make more appeal. Well treated and each-way possibilities but difficult to recommend for win purposes.

16:20 Navan Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Making a quick reappearance following her success at Punchestown on Tuesday, KEILAH is difficult to oppose. Carrying a 7lb penalty for that win, the Willie McCreery-trained filly looks well-in at the weights. Given the manner in which she emphatically opened her account on just her fourth start for the trainer, it seems likely that the daughter of Harzand has more in hand. Runner-up over this C&D on her penultimate outing, the four-year-old has already proven her ability to act on the track. Mayo For Sam, a winner over this C&D for previous connections, has to be respected under Ronan Whelan. Plunkett Street has yet to register a win but has shown flashes of ability, including when mid-division here last October.

KEILAH had plenty in hand when scoring at Punchestown 4 days ago and he's well worth a chance to defy a penalty in a race that lacks depth. Mayo For Sam and Lilac Lady should both be on the premises.

Keilah has a 7lb hike in the weights to contend with and back on faster ground MAYO FOR SAM will give her plenty to think about

16:25 Newbury Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

One More made a pleasing start when finishing second over 7f at Kempton on his debut earlier this month, and the son of No Nay Never warrants the utmost respect in a bid to go one place better. That said, preference is for ARCTIC VOYAGE. The Clipper Logistics-owned Kingman colt is a half-brother to the very smart Lady Bowthorpe and, with the Ralph Beckett yard in fine form at present, it would be no surprise if he were precocious enough to score at the first time of asking. The King's Falcon is another noteworthy newcomer.

Not much form to go on but Richard Hannon's No Nay Never colt ONE MORE shaped well on his debut when running on into second at Kempton and can put that experience to good use here with Ryan Moore in the saddle. Newcomers Arctic Voyage (second choice) and The King's Falcon both bring a fair bit of potential and could emerge as the main dangers, with Make You Smile another debutant to consider.

One More made a promising debut, as did DRAGONFLAME. The King's Falcon and Arctic Voyage are newcomers to check out.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (25/1 -79%) Mrs Twig	25 25/1(-79%)	(3) Mrs Twig 25/1, Made it 3 wins from her first 4 starts this season when scoring in 5-runner handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) in June.

7 2nd (7) (11/2 -10%) Speriamo	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(7) Speriamo 11/2, Best effort of the season when taking advantage of career-low mark at Chelmsford on Thursday. Penalised in a deeper race here, though. Won amateurs' event on AW on Thursday; of plenty of interest if making quick reappearance.
4 3rd (4) (5/2 +44%) Chorus	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(4) Chorus 5/2, Made the most of a good opportunity to get off the mark in 8-runner novice at Windsor (10f, good to firm). Only eighth of 15 on handicap bow at York (10.2f, good to firm) since but that was a much deeper race than this. Windsor winner; came up short in warm York handicap last time but this is a bit weaker.
6 4th (6) (8/1 -100%) Milliterries	8 8/1(-100%)	(6) Milliterries 8/1, Finally off the mark in Southwell maiden 18 days ago. Not an obvious type to follow up but step up in trip is sure to suit back in a handicap. Off the mark in smooth style at Southwell; capable of better still now upped in trip.
5 5th (5) (10/3 -67%) Dubai Melody	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(5) Dubai Melody 10/3, Shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up on her Newmarket debut back in November. Ran no sort of race just over a fortnight on at Wolverhampton but firmly back on track when winning 10-runner novice at Newbury (10f, good to firm) on return 63 days ago. Remains unexposed now handicapping. Always doing just enough when making winning reappearance; unexposed moving into handicaps.
2 6th (2) (11/4 +45%) Ciara Pearl	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(2) Ciara Pearl 11/4, Four wins from 10 runs this year, the latest win at Sandown (1¼m) in July. Good placed efforts since, including when third at Leicester 10 days ago. Enters calculations. Reliable and straightforward; third at Leicester last time; should make another bold bid.
1 \|RR\| (1) (40/1 -150%) Dayzee	40 40/1(-150%)	(1) Dayzee 40/1, Three-time winner last season but she'd been off for 6 months when coming in only eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) on his final run for Barry Brennan. Needs to hit the ground running for her new handler. Last seen when well held in March; needs to be revived by another trainer change.

16:30 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

CHORUS weakened out of contention in a valuable heritage handicap at York last month, but William Haggas' filly scored in commanding fashion at Windsor on her penultimate start and a return to that form would see her difficult to beat. Dubai Melody displayed good resolution to break her duck at Newbury and she makes appeal on her handicap bow, while the consistent Ciara Pearl isn't easily discounted.

MILLITERRIES is finally getting a chance over this sort of trip and can follow up her maiden win. Fellow 3-yos Dubai Melody and Chorus are feared most.

Top billing goes to MILLITERRIES who has progressed of late and may have even more to offer now exploring 1m2f+.

Holds very solid form claims. Has improved of late hitting the frame on last 3 starts; should be in the mix again.
9 2nd (9) (2/1 -175%) Castanets	2 2/1(-175%)	(9) Castanets 2/1, Promising individual. Third of 15 in maiden at this course (7f, good to soft, 8/13) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Stable in good form. Bold bid expected. 2nd on debut and held her form well since; may improve for the new trip.

16:35 Gowran Park Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

With just 1lb between them on official ratings, Castanets and TANAZADIA standout with preference for the Johnny Murtagh's filly. Going down by just a head on her penultimate start, the Lope De Vega bay since finished a close third when sent off favourite for a handicap at Cork. Castanets also failed to justify favouritism when last seen and she should be suited by this step up in trip. Street Mentor has regressed since finishing second on debut at Dundalk, but could make an impact in a contest of this quality. The Dermot Weld-trained Campari Soda has some solid efforts to her name and is likely to appreciate dropping back into maiden company, after disappointing earlier in the month.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and CASTANETS is fancied to build on her good recent third here and get off the mark. Tanazadia also has the form to play a part, with Whist another who could take a hand in the finish.

With the potential to improve for a step up in trip, CASTANETS could be the way to go having stuck to her task well over 7f last time

16:40 Ayr Handicap (Class 4) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (4/1 +0%) Desert Falcon	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Desert Falcon 4/1, Dual winner for Sir Mark Prescott last year who got on the scoreboard for current yard when taking 11-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. 4 lb rise fair and should go well again. Travelled well before asserting a Thirsk a fortnight ago and could still be well treated.
2 2nd (2) (7/1 +13%) Mereside Diva	7 7/1(+13%)	(2) Mereside Diva 7/1, Improved for step up to 7f this season, winning handicaps at Haydock and Thirsk, but he's been below form more recently and has something to prove at present. Dual 7f winner in the spring but has suffered a dip in form lately.
6 3rd (6) (20/1 -100%) Chuzzlewit	20 20/1(-100%)	(6) Chuzzlewit 20/1, C&D winner in 2022 and back on scoreboard at Newcastle in March. Not much to write home about more recently, though, and others hold stronger claims. Cheekpieces back on. Not firing on all cylinders since AW win in March; headgear switch may perk him up.
9 4th (9) (50/1 -100%) Detective	50 50/1(-100%)	(9) Detective 50/1, Ended long losing run at Carlisle (6.9f) last month but not been in same form either start since and makes limited appeal. Best known as a Carlisle specialist; comes here after two poor runs there.
11 5th (11) (5/1 +38%) Pals Battalion	5 5/1(+38%)	(11) Pals Battalion 5/1, Back to somewhere near best form when second of 12 in handicap at Leicester (6f, soft) 11 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and could be dangerous if staying this longer trip. Good second over 6f recently; not sure to be suited by 7f but still enters calculations.
10 6th (10) (33/1 -32%) Starliner	33 33/1(-32%)	(10) Starliner 33/1, Won a maiden in Ireland last year but yet to make an impact in 4 starts for current connections. Unplaced all four starts for current stable; may settle better with blinkers now removed.
4 7th (4) (14/1 -75%) Abruzzo Mia	14 14/1(-75%)	(4) Abruzzo Mia 14/1, Back to winning ways at Thirsk over this trip in July and wasn't disgraced in follow-up bid at Carlisle last month. Others look better treated, though. Kept on gamely for Thirsk win in July but probably needs to pull out even more here.
12 9th (12) (11/1 -10%) Alpine Sierra	11 11/1(-10%)	(12) Alpine Sierra 11/1, Now 2 lb below his C&D winnIng mark from last October but has yet to score this term and arrives on back of disappointing run at Carlisle 10 days ago. Yet to win this season but is suited by this C&D and has slipped to a workable mark.
5 10th (5) (16/1 -129%) Modern Times	16 16/1(-129%)	(5) Modern Times 16/1, Ran poorly over shorter trip at York latest but had posted his best effort for this yard when second of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (7f) previously and is not out of things. Recent 6f run probably best overlooked; contender if judged on last month's 7f second.
7 11th (7) (9/1 -50%) Vince Le Prince	9 9/1(-50%)	(7) Vince Le Prince 9/1, Dual winner (both 7f) earlier this term who found further improvement when 1½ lengths third of 11 to Desert Falcon in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Likely contender. Dual 7f winner this summer; placed off today's mark recently; in the mix again.
8 12th (8) (8/1 +11%) Cloudy Skye	8 8/1(+11%)	(8) Cloudy Skye 8/1, Found improvement when getting off the mark at Pontefract (8f) in July and ran to similar level when creditable third of 10 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago. Should give another good account. Placed off this mark since 1m win in July; contender if suited by this drop back in trip.

16:40 Ayr Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

After showing a likeable attitude when scoring over 7f at Thirsk earlier this month, DESERT FALCON can follow up. Julie Camacho's charge has been raised 4lb for that near-length success, and Oisin McSweeney's 3lb claim can help to carry much of that burden. The reopposing Vince Le Prince (third) is likely pose the most significant questions to the selection being 1lb better off, while Mereside Diva won off a 3lb lower mark at Thirsk in June and a return to form would see her considered.

Preference is for DESERT FALCON, who registered his first victory for Julie Camacho at Thirsk a fortnight ago and remains fairly treated on old form. Vince Le Prince and Abduction head the list of dangers.

The suggestion is DESERT FALCON, who came good for Julie Camacho with a pretty convincing win at Thirsk a fortnight ago.

9 2nd (9) (9/1 -80%) Tailorman	9 9/1(-80%)	(9) Tailorman 9/1, Attracted plenty of support and finally came good in 7-runner handicap at Ripon (16f, good to firm) last month, staying on to lead well inside final 1f. Ran at least as well in defeat under a penalty at this course since, despite being caught further back than ideal, and remains of interest. Won at Ripon but was a well-held third under penalty here latest; needs more back in trip.
15 3rd (15) (12/1 -71%) Surrey Force	12 12/1(-71%)	(15) Surrey Force 12/1, Fair maiden who beat all bar a well-treated rival at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 16 days ago, running on. Respected from only 1 lb higher. 3yo who went close on AW (1m4f) latest and looks worth a try at this new trip; dangerous.
2 4th (2) (12/1 +40%) Gooloogong	12 12/1(+40%)	(2) Gooloogong 12/1, Ran one of his better races in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Goodwood (14f, soft) 28 days ago. Possibilities if backing that up. Has form figures of 87905 for current yard and he's now 1-10; others preferred.
5 5th (5) (8/1 -100%) Corsican Caper	8 8/1(-100%)	(5) Corsican Caper 8/1, Proved better than ever back with former trainer when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (15.9f, heavy, 11/2) 8 days ago, staying on to lead final 100 yds. Could go well again. Justified support with a stylish win over 2m here last Friday; respected back in trip.
1 6th (1) (7/1 -17%) Dreams Adozen	7 7/1(-17%)	(1) Dreams Adozen 7/1, Course regular scored here in June and has found only one too good on 3 of his last 4 outings. Front-runner who has finished runner-up here (2m/1m4f) last twice; key player.
6 7th (6) (25/1 +0%) Oman	25 25/1(+0%)	(6) Oman 25/1, Took advantage of a much-reduced mark to make a winning start for new connections over C&D in May. Respectable efforts next 2 outings and shaped as if needing the run after 3 months off back here last week. Dual course winner but he's been well held here last twice and needs to raise his game.
11 8th (11) (25/1 +24%) Rock N Roll Pinkie	25 25/1(+24%)	(11) Rock N Roll Pinkie 25/1, Bounced back to form to double her tally at Nottingham in June but looked temperamental when well held back there last month. Others preferred. Nottingham win in June but she's been disappointing since and needs to get back on track.
8 9th (8) (66/1 -100%) Samatian	66 66/1(-100%)	(8) Samatian 66/1, Poor hurdler who ran to a modest level when seventh of in 14-runner novice at Southwell (12.1f, 200/1) 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Big step forward required. Ordinary jumper who has struggled on his three Flat runs; now goes handicapping up in trip.
14 10th (14) (100/1 -100%) Bollin Neil	100 100/1(-100%)	(14) Bollin Neil 100/1, Fair handicapper who probably needed the run after 19 months off (from jumps) when eighth of 10 at Hamilton (13.1f, soft, 66/1) 17 days ago. This will reveal more. Seven-time turf winner but he returned from long absence with a heavy defeat 17 days ago.
4 11th (4) (15/2 -25%) Percy Jones	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(4) Percy Jones 15/2, Quickly returned to form when second of 10 in handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Shortlist material. Dual AW winner who was a creditable second at Bath (1m6f) last time; respected.
13 12th (13) (66/1 -633%) Sophar Sogood	66 66/1(-633%)	(13) Sophar Sogood 66/1, C&D winner who got back on the scoresheet in ready fashion in 12-runner handicap at Kempton (16f, 2/1) 38 days ago. Remains well treated on old form. Won at Kempton latest but this is tougher off 3lb higher and he's 1-19 on turf.
3 13th (3) (33/1 -32%) C'mon Kenny	33 33/1(-32%)	(3) C'mon Kenny 33/1, Hasn't beaten a rival in 2 starts this year. Plenty to prove in a first-time visor. Two wins last year but he's finished last in both runs this season; visor now added.

16:45 Chester Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

CORSICAN CAPER looks to be still improving given the ease of last week's success here. This shorter distance is not a problem and Kevin Frost's inmate should go close in an open affair. Course regular Dreams Adozen looks likely to have a say in proceedings once again, while Small Fry has won two of his last three starts and is another to consider, despite a 5lb rise for winning in good style at Epsom latest.

PERCY JONES is down to a good mark and was beaten only by a 3-y-o improver at Bath on his most recent outing, so he's put forward as the tentative selection in a competitive race. Tailorman ran another good race when third here 3 weeks ago, despite being caught further back than ideal, and seems likely to go well again, while Small Fry remains unexposed for his current yard and completes the shortlist.

This looks wide open but the vote goes to dual course winner DREAMS ADOZEN, who went down fighting in a close second here last week.

16:50 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 10f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (1/1 +9%) Lazieelunch	1 1/1(+9%)	(1) Lazieelunch 1/1, Off the mark at Kempton (8f) last month and improved on that form when taking 9-runner nursery at Lingfield (8f, AW) 10 days ago. 8 lb higher now but looks sure to make another bold bid. Dual 1m winner on Polytrack in recent weeks and might still be improving.
6 2nd (6) (10/1 +29%) Moonlit Stage	10 10/1(+29%)	(6) Moonlit Stage 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f, 50/1) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip. May do better now sent handicaping. Beaten at least 15l in novice races over 6f, 1m and 7f this summer; nursery debut today.
5 3rd (5) (6/1 +14%) Corpus Juris	6 6/1(+14%)	(5) Corpus Juris 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden who arrives on back of creditable fourth of 8 in nursery (4/1) at Musselburgh (8f, good) 25 days ago. Can make presence felt. Just a respectable fourth on last month's nursery debut and needs to find extra here.
4 4th (4) (16/5 +68%) Pistrucci	3.2 16/5(+68%)	(4) Pistrucci 16/5, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in maiden (80/1) at Goodwood (8f, good) 18 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others more persuasive. Respectable fifth in 7f Haydock novice last month; a possible on this nursery/AW debut.
3 5th (3) (15/2 -125%) Oasis Sunrise	7.5 15/2(-125%)	(3) Oasis Sunrise 15/2, Seventh of 11 in minor event at Deauville (6.5f, good, 64/1) 37 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Improvement required on handicap debut. Not disgraced in valuable sales race in France last month; makes nursery debut today.

16:50 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

The penny has suddenly dropped for Lazieelunch and he proved his Kempton success was no fluke when beating the runner-up by even further at Lingfield. He has risen a total of 18lb, which does make life more complicated, so maybe OASIS SUNRISE is worth a punt after being set a couple of stiff French assignments. Moonlit Stage is another nursery newcomer to consider and he, like Musselburgh fourth Corpus Juris, runs first time as a gelding.

LAZIEELUNCH was well on top at the finish when landing his second nursery at Lingfield earlier this month and can complete the hat-trick. Cymbidium is the obvious danger.

Topweight LAZIEELUNCH was treated quite sternly by the handicapper for his latest success but is still taken to complete a hat-trick.

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (9/2 +78%) Hello Neighbour	4.5 9/2(+78%)	(5) Hello Neighbour 9/2, €57,000 foal, Harzand gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 11f/1½m winner Duvet Day and 1¼m/10.5f winner A Wave of The Sea. Cost 57,000euros; sixth foal; market will be the best guide but in good hands.
4 2nd (4) (15/2 +25%) Double Agent	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(4) Double Agent 15/2, Twice-raced colt. 7/2 and blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 11 in maiden at Roscommon (10.3f, good). Off 124 days. Significantly up in trip. Yard in good form. Cost 600,000gns as a yearling; bred to get this sort of trip and market will guide.
10 3rd (10) (5/1 +9%) Get	5 5/1(+9%)	(10) Get 5/1, Lightly-raced filly. Respectable sixth of 16 in maiden (5/2) at this course (10.2f, good) 14 days ago. Needs to do more. Had no excuses when behind Tiding here latest but in top hands; new trip might help.
8 4th (8) (6/1 -9%) Soul Of Spain	6 6/1(-9%)	(8) Soul Of Spain 6/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 8/1, good third of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (12.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Trainer going well. Only found St Leger runner-up Illinois too good on debut; might find this ground too quick.
6 5th (6) (7/1 +0%) Kalkanli	7 7/1(+0%)	(6) Kalkanli 7/1, Promising type. Second of 9 in maiden at Tramore (12f, good to soft, 5/2) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Remains with potential but has a bit to find. Lacked gears to go with The Ginger Wizard at Tramore latest; step up in trip might help.
11 6th (11) (4/1 -33%) Market Timing	4 4/1(-33%)	(11) Market Timing 4/1, Promising type. Second of 7 in maiden at Bellewstown (12.3f, good to soft, 11/2) 25 days ago, never nearer. Expected to improve further upped to this distance. Would have won in another few strides last time and has bundles of stamina; good chance.
7 7th (7) (40/1 -100%) Self Interest	40 40/1(-100%)	(7) Self Interest 40/1, Once-raced colt. Tenth of 16 in maiden at this course (10.2f, good, 16/1) on debut 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Yard in good form. Should have more to offer. Slowly away when behind some of these at this venue this month; this will reveal more.
12 8th (12) (9/1 -50%) Realt Na Ri	9 9/1(-50%)	(12) Realt Na Ri 9/1, Lightly-raced filly. Last of 7 in maiden at Bellewstown (12.3f, good to soft, 10/3) 25 days ago. Definite claims if back on track. Run too bad to be true when tailed off behind Market Timing latest; plenty to prove.
9 9th (9) (11/2 -22%) Tiding	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(9) Tiding 11/2, Twice-raced colt. Third of 16 in maiden at this course (10.2f, good, 9/1) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly up in trip. Should do better. Down the field at Dundalk but eyecatching late headway when 3rd here over 1m2f this month.
1 10th (1) (40/1 -433%) Joyeux Machin	40 40/1(-433%)	(1) Joyeux Machin 40/1, Useful jumps winner, making GB/IRE Flat debut. 8/1, seventh of 8 in minor event hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 115 days ago. Off 115 days. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code. Looks a player switched to the Flat. Regressive form over hurdles and fences this year; needs to improve on Flat debut.
3 11th (3) (80/1 -21%) I'm Flattered	80 80/1(-21%)	(3) I'm Flattered 80/1, Once-raced filly on Flat. 150/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, good to firm) on flat debut. Off 108 days. Tough task when well beaten in a hot 1m4f Curragh maiden in June; of no interest here.
13 12th (13) (150/1 -275%) Star Of Phoenix	150 150/1(-275%)	(13) Star Of Phoenix 150/1, Once-raced filly. 28/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at this course (8f, good) on debut 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Dam a middle-distance winner by Galileo so hopes rest on the step up in trip.

16:55 Navan Maiden 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The Ger Lyons-trained MARKET TIMING can open her account on her third start. Having reached the frame on both previous runs, the daughter of Camelot gives the impression that she could benefit from stepping up in trip here. A well-bred filly, the three-year-old looks to have been found a nice opportunity against some more exposed rivals. Realt Na Ri, who finished behind the selection at Bellewstown last time, is a definite contender. Fourth in a Listed race on her previous start, the Jessica Harrington-trained filly definitely underperformed for whatever reason, but she could be the one to beat if back to her best. The Johnny Murtagh-trained Kalkanli is capable of further improvement having had just the three starts to date.

MARKET TIMING took a step forward at Bellewstown last time and promises to be well suited by the extra distance she encounters here, so she gets the nod over Joyeux Machini, who is an obvious player if able to replicate some of his jumps for. Tiding also has potential.

Juddmonte's TIDING gets the vote. He made eyecatching late headway here over shorter this month and he's ready for this stamina test

17:00 Newbury Handicap (Class 3) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (11/4 +50%) Movie Maker	2.75 11/4(+50%)	(5) Movie Maker 11/4, Much improved from debut when getting off the mark in convincing fashion here 12 months ago and probably needed the run when fourth of 15 in Jumeirah Guineas Trial at Meydan (7f, good) back in January. Not seen since but remains with potential on handicap debut (has been gelded). Easily won a maiden contest here a year ago; interesting returned to Newbury.
6 2nd (6) (5/1 -11%) Amphius	5 5/1(-11%)	(6) Amphius 5/1, Stood out on form and didn't need to repeat the form of his handicap second at Kempton to get off the mark in 4-runner maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Back in a handicap (from 4 lb higher) and can kick on now up and running. Took advantage of a good opportunity last time; has a strong piece of Newbury form.
19 3rd (19) (11/4 +86%) City Of York	2.75 11/4(+86%)	(19) City Of York 11/4, Ridden a little closer to the pace and turned in his best effort of the season down in grade when runner-up at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Back down at 7f for the first time since his 2-y-o days and rates a major player from the same mark with De Sousa likely to be positive. Successful in the 1m handicap on this card last year; interesting back here.
11 4th (11) (11/2 +54%) Metaverse	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(11) Metaverse 11/2, Gained reward for consistency and underlined that he's still going the right way when winning at Newmarket in July. Seemed unsuited by the track when well beaten at Goodwood later that month and can get back on an upward trajectory. Below par last time; solid record otherwise since wearing a hood; may rebound.
20 5th (20) (50/1 -100%) King Cabo	50 50/1(-100%)	(20) King Cabo 50/1, Capitalised on a falling mark to give his rider a first winner at Lingfield in August. Not in the same form in more competitive events the last twice and this even tougher. Ran respectably over C&D in August but this looks a stiffer assignment.
15 6th (15) (4/1 +60%) Run Boy Run	4 4/1(+60%)	(15) Run Boy Run 4/1, Winner of a Newcastle maiden in March and has improved since the application of cheekpieces, winning twice over 7f at Newmarket (good to firm/soft) last month. Had winning run ended but continued at the very top of his game when third at Ascot recently and should go well again. Ran creditably at Ascot two weeks ago when bidding for hat-trick; still of interest.
10 7th (10) (33/1 -65%) Mustajaab	33 33/1(-65%)	(10) Mustajaab 33/1, Made it 2-2 on the AW when scoring with plenty to spare on return/first run since being gelded at Southwell (7f) in April. However, it's been a bit of a struggle on turf since, but he did take a step back in the right direction back on softer ground at Ascot recently. Only 1-14 on turf; 2-2 on AW and may be more interesting back in that sphere.

17:00 Newbury Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A brother to Group 3 winner Sangarius, AMPHIUS has yet to live up to his pedigree, but he looked on good terms with himself when breaking his duck at Beverley last month and a mark of 91 could still underestimate his potential. A seven-year-old who has run off higher marks in the past, Persuasion is entitled to be thereabouts after his Haydock success, while Harvard Sound could be anything after comfortably scoring over 7f on Lingfield's turf course on both starts since his debut. The progressive Run Boy Run and C&D winner North View are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Cases can be made for a number of these, so it could pay to take a chance on CITY OF YORK, who was last seen in winning action when completing a hat-trick on this card last year and he turned in his best effort of the season when runner-up at Southwell earlier this month. North View got off the mark for the campaign partnered by Buick for the first time over C&D recently so heads up the dangers, while Amphius, Movie Maker and Noodle Mission all merit consideration, too.

The Newbury factor makes several runners look interesting. The suggestion is CITY OF YORK, ahead of North View.

17:05 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 9f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (7/2 +71%) Cervetto	3.5 7/2(+71%)	(2) Cervetto 7/2, Found a chunk of improvement in first-time cheekpieces when running out a ready winner of a 13-runner handicap at Sandown in July. Both subsequent efforts are excusable, so not one to write off. Twice well below par after Sandown win; needs to bounce back in change of headgear.
6 2nd (6) (12/1 -167%) Organic	12 12/1(-167%)	(6) Organic 12/1, Took her record since joining George Boughey to 3-4 when shading a tight finish in a seller at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) a couple of months ago. More on her plate back in a handicap but no surprise were she to progress again. Has won three of last four races, including Beverley seller on latest; has to be respected.
9 3rd (9) (15/2 -50%) Pride Of Nepal	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(9) Pride Of Nepal 15/2, Good start for this stable and ended losing run in 7-runner handicap (4/1) at Goodwood last month and followed up at Brighton not long after. Merits plenty of respect. Back on track of late with successes at Goodwood and Brighton; another to consider.
7 4th (7) (14/1 +44%) Bass Player	14 14/1(+44%)	(7) Bass Player 14/1, Temperamental sort who has proved typically inconsistent in recent months, sixth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 44 days ago, hanging right 2f out. Probably best to look elsewhere. Falling in the weights without really looking like taking advantage; others appeal more.
1 5th (1) (6/4 +63%) Charming Whisper	1.5 6/4(+63%)	(1) Charming Whisper 6/4, A dual 1m scorer in June and has remained in form since, running on well into second at Newbury last time. Should be on the premises. Consistent sort; bumped into an unexposed rival at Newbury; seems sure to go well again.
8 6th (8) (7/1 +0%) Fools Rush In	7 7/1(+0%)	(8) Fools Rush In 7/1, 4/1, won 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 14 days ago. More exposed than most but arrives in good order and has one of the more experienced riders on board. Ended long losing run at Wolverhampton last time; remains well handicapped on old form.
5 7th (5) (8/1 +50%) New Heights	8 8/1(+50%)	(5) New Heights 8/1, Respectable effort on penultimate outing before going off too hard at Epsom in bad ground last time. Well treated if she can get back on track. Yet to show she retains all her ability this term; falling in weights but needs a revival.
3 8th (3) (28/1 -40%) Blue Yonder	28 28/1(-40%)	(3) Blue Yonder 28/1, Well suited by the step back up in trip when scoring at Newbury (10f) in June but he's run poorly on each of his last 2 runs and first-time blinkers need to have a positive effect now. Won at Newbury in June but both runs since have been abysmal; now blinkered; risky.

17:05 Newmarket Handicap (Class 4) 9f Race Class Flow

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

TERRIES ROYALE hung away his chance when second in the Legends race at Doncaster last Sunday and he looks primed to offer another bold bid. Mick Appleby's representative went down by just three-quarters of a length on Town Moor, having struck at Ascot the week prior, and will be hard to beat if he stays straight. The hat-trick seeking Pride Of Nepal is fancied to offer the sternest resistance, even though a further 4lb hike could be difficult to defy. Charming Whisper should also be taken seriously.

CHARMING WHISPER is still going the right way and has a more-than-able partner in Ross Birkett, so he gets the nod over in-form pair Terries Royale and Pride of Nepal in an open-looking Amateurs' event.

Terries Royale is feared but slight preference is for topweight CHARMING WHISPER who bumped into an unexposed rival last time.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (5/1 +0%) Best Law	5 5/1(+0%)	(4) Best Law 5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Tramore in August. 17/2, ninth of 14 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Yard having good spell so not ruled out. No impact returned to handicap company last time, may be in the handicapper's grip.
1 2nd (1) (3/1 +25%) Bright N Shine	3 3/1(+25%)	(1) Bright N Shine 3/1, 6/1, career best when readily winning 9-runner handicap at Down Royal (10.7f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Can go well again. 8lb rise for 1.5l Down Royal win looks a touch harsh, could be on a tough mark.
6 3rd (6) (3/1 +25%) Barrogstown Girl	3 3/1(+25%)	(6) Barrogstown Girl 3/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 11/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 16 days ago, cosily. Ought to be in the shake-up. Raised 12lb for win at Clonmel, form working out, another big run could be on the cards.
2 4th (2) (9/1 -20%) Victor's Choice	9 9/1(-20%)	(2) Victor's Choice 9/1, Course winner. Latest win at Galway in August. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good, 13/2) 11 days ago, not clear run. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs to bounce back. Course winner but would prefer softer ground than this, blinkers on, tough mark.
8 5th (8) (9/1 -50%) Madame Plaintiff	9 9/1(-50%)	(8) Madame Plaintiff 9/1, Course winner. Winner here in April. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good, 11/1) 11 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Can make presence felt. Course winner over 7f, best form on easy ground, others preferred, blinkered first-time.
7 6th (7) (4/1 -7%) Bizarre Dreams	4 4/1(-7%)	(7) Bizarre Dreams 4/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (5/2) at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly in her current mood. Up 6lb for Clonmel win, has run well over C&D, this harder but can't be discounted.
5 7th (5) (8/1 -14%) Alma Libre	8 8/1(-14%)	(5) Alma Libre 8/1, 15/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Down Royal (10.6f, good) 64 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Miss Natalia Lupini. Chance on old form. 1-20 for former yard, out of form this season, check the market on debut for new stable.
10 8th (10) (66/1 -100%) Luxurious Princess	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Luxurious Princess 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 15 in maiden at Roscommon (7.4f, good, 33/1). Off 124 days. Back up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Not easy to make a case for. Not much promise in first three runs, market should reveal expectations on handicap debut.
9 9th (9) (66/1 -633%) Thefaithfulindian	66 66/1(-633%)	(9) Thefaithfulindian 66/1, 9/2, creditable second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good). Off 13 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Aidan Anthony Howard. Possibilities. 3-23 but no win for almost four years, prefers softer ground, best watched on stable debut.

17:10 Gowran Park Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It might be worth taking a chance on MADAME PLANTIFF, who was a comfortable winner here in April but has been disappointing in recent starts. The three-year-old might be reinvigorated by first-time blinkers though and is just 1lb higher than her previous winning mark. Best Law and Barrogstown Girl have already won twice this season and both are likely to have plenty of supporters. Successful earlier this month, top-weight Bright N Shine and the Johnny Murtagh-trained Bizarre Dreams are other obvious contenders.

C&D winner EVERYLITTLESTEP rates the pick at these weights so edges the vote in a very open-looking handicap. Course scorer Madame Plaintiff is next on the list with the likes of Bright N Shine, Barrogstown Girl and Bizarre Dreams all in the mix too.

Preference is for EVERYLITTLESTEP. She rarely runs a bad race here, the ground will suit and she didn't get a clear run last time out.

17:15 Ayr Handicap (Class 3) 13f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (9/4 -13%) Kihavah	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(1) Kihavah 9/4, Thrived last summer and has carried on the good work this year, runner-up in Summer Handicap Hurdle at Market Rasen in July before an excellent second of 20 to Magical Zoe in the Ebor at York (1¾m, good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Leading player. Runner-up in the Ebor last month and he won on his last visit to Ayr; solid claims.
3 2nd (3) (11/4 +80%) Euchen Glen	2.75 11/4(+80%)	(3) Euchen Glen 11/4, Admirable veteran who is still capable of very useful form, including a win over C&D in June. Not quite in on his game at Haydock last time but return to this track is well in his favour. 11yo; below best last time but some bright moments this season and has a fine record here.
8 3rd (8) (13/2 +46%) Kitsune Power	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(8) Kitsune Power 13/2, Latest win at Thirsk in June. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Catterick (13.9f, good to soft, 16/5) 11 days ago. Should give another good account. Won at Thirsk in June and runner-up at Catterick recently; might not be far away.
7 4th (7) (11/1 -83%) Cool Party	11 11/1(-83%)	(7) Cool Party 11/1, Fairly useful 4yo who only needed to return to form to make a winning return at Southwell 5 months ago. Not seen since and rise probably enough to stop him. Won on Southwell AW in April; absent since but he's capable when fresh; not ruled out.
4 5th (4) (11/2 -38%) Fiver Friday	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(4) Fiver Friday 11/2, Enjoying a fine season and resumed winning ways in a race run to suit at Naas last time. No reason why she won't give her running again and is well worth respecting. Three wins this year at 1m1f-10.3f; progressive; leading player if seeing out the trip.
6 6th (6) (17/2 -42%) La Pulga	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(6) La Pulga 17/2, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (13/8) at Thirsk (12f, good to firm) 14 days ago, very much having run of race. Will likely face competition for the lead and likely vulnerable after a rise. Enjoyed run of race when posting easy win at Thirsk but a 4lb rise isn't harsh.
2 7th (2) (66/1 -164%) Chichester	66 66/1(-164%)	(2) Chichester 66/1, Course winner. Smart performer at his best for Keith Dalgleish. Not so good in three runs for Charlie Johnston and he's yet to threaten for present stable. Continues to drop down the weights but he's struggled on his three starts this season.
5 8th (5) (11/1 -175%) Mountain Road	11 11/1(-175%)	(5) Mountain Road 11/1, Signed off for David Simcock with a double, again having a bit to spare at Chelmsford 76 days ago. Back on turf and interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour starting out for a shrewd yard. Won final two outings for David Simcock; brings improving profile to stable debut.

17:15 Ayr Handicap (Class 3) 13f Race Class Flow

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

A host of in-form rivals line up in this heat, with the slight preference being MOUNTAIN ROAD, who arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Newmarket and most recently at Chelmsford. Making his first appearance for Jim Goldie, he will have to defy a further 3lb rise for a half-length victory, which is negated by his rider's claim. Kihavah ran a big race when second in the Ebor at York last month and a repeat of that effort would see him in the thick of it, while Fiver Friday is an Irish raider to note.

Ebor runner-up KIHAVAH should find this much less competitive and, with a performance of similar merit, he'll be tough to beat. Fiver Friday is a big threat on the back of a third success of the season at Naas, while the veteran Euchen Glen should benefit from a return to this track.

C&D winner KIHAVAH was runner-up in the hugely competitive Ebor last month and can go one better today. Euchen Glen is a danger.

17:20 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 10f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (2/1 +71%) Qitaal	2 2/1(+71%)	(3) Qitaal 2/1, Made a winning return at Doncaster in March and plenty of decent efforts in defeat since. Didn't get home over longer trip at York latest and is no forlorn hope to give Franny Norton a farewell winner at his favourite venue. Looked stretched at 1m4f last time and he's in the mix on this drop back in trip/grade.
1 2nd (1) (10/1 -122%) He's A Gentleman	10 10/1(-122%)	(1) He's A Gentleman 10/1, Found company too hot at Southwell latest but had returned to winning ways at Ayr (7.2f) previously and could be a player if seeing out this longer trip. Won at Ayr in July but he was out the back last time and this return to 1m2f is a worry.
8 3rd (8) (9/4 +25%) Mr Swivell	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(8) Mr Swivell 9/4, Resumed progress when winning at Newmarket (8f) last month and improved again when third of 11 in Haydock handicap (8.2f, good) 2 weeks ago. Looks worth another crack at this trip and holds strong claims. 3yo with a record of 2-7 and he looks open to more progress back up in trip; respected.
11 4th (11) (15/2 -25%) Bushfire	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(11) Bushfire 15/2, Consistent performer who posted another solid effort when second of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Carlisle (9f, soft) 23 days ago, staying on well. 1 lb lower now and is one of the likelier contenders. On good mark and was a clear second at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) last time; highly respected.
7 5th (7) (28/1 -100%) Spioradalta	28 28/1(-100%)	(7) Spioradalta 28/1, Course winner who shaped encouragingly when making the frame at Ripon on first 2 starts this season. However, has largely disappointed since and is untried over this longer trip. Well held in last two runs and has stamina to prove at this new trip; others preferred.
2 6th (2) (20/1 +0%) Law Of The Sea	20 20/1(+0%)	(2) Law Of The Sea 20/1, Returned with a creditable effort in defeat at this course (18.5f) in May but offered little since and it's been some time since he raced over this sort of trip. Both wins were at 1m4f in 2021 and he's struggled in last five runs; opposable.
5 7th (5) (100/1 -400%) Arcadian Nights	100 100/1(-400%)	(5) Arcadian Nights 100/1, Back from 4 months off when ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 51 days ago. May have needed that outing but his overall profile is far from convincing. On workable mark but has mixed record this season and his last turf win was in 2022.
4 8th (4) (40/1 -60%) Chase The Dollar	40 40/1(-60%)	(4) Chase The Dollar 40/1, Cashed in off reduced mark from the front here (12.3f) in May and similar form when third at Kempton next time. Rather gone off the boil since, however, and has plenty to prove at present. Won here (1m4f) in May but he's struggled in last three runs and needs a major revival.
6 9th (6) (10/1 +29%) Bizarre Law	10 10/1(+29%)	(6) Bizarre Law 10/1, Below par the last twice but is slowly dropping down the weights and has performed creditably here before. Visor back on. Not out of things. Disappointing in last two runs and his best turf form has been on good or quicker ground.
10 10th (10) (8/1 +0%) Love Your Work	8 8/1(+0%)	(10) Love Your Work 8/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in June. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Pontefract (10f, good to firm) 2 days ago. Others more persuasive. Two wins in June and was an eyecatching fourth at Pontefract on Thursday; not ruled out.
9 11th (9) (18/1 -350%) Havanarama	18 18/1(-350%)	(9) Havanarama 18/1, Dual winner on AW earlier this year who has largely acquitted himself well in defeat since. Below form at Newcastle (7.1f) latest but figures off a handy mark and hails from a yard that has plenty of success here. Well below form at Newcastle latest and has a bit to prove again at this new trip.

17:20 Chester Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

The retiring Franny Norton will be hoping to bow out with a winning ride and he partnered QITAAL when the gelding finished third over course and distance back in July. 3lb lower and dropping down a grade, he looks to have every chance. A recent third at Haydock, Mr Swivell is worth another try over this longer trip and can get involved, while Bushfire is potentially well treated.

MR SWIVELL is going the right way and promises to be suited by the return to this longer trip. He can land the finale. Qitaal and Bushfire head the list of dangers.

3yo Mr Swivell is respected along with Qitaal, but the vote goes to recent Carlisle runner-up BUSHFIRE.

17:25 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (2/1 +11%) Nahash	2 2/1(+11%)	(6) Nahash 2/1, Posted promising third of 13 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut 46 days ago. Should progress and is one for shortlist. No threat to front pair but still made very encouraging debut when third at Chelmsford.
9 2nd (9) (12/1 -20%) Magic Glow	12 12/1(-20%)	(9) Magic Glow 12/1, Foaled March 14. €11,000 yearling, Hey Gaman filly. Half-sister to 2 winners in France, including winner up to 13f Made To Lead. Dam French 1¼m-11.5f winner. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. 11,000euros yearling; out of French middle-distance winner; yard quiet with 2yos this year.
3 3rd (3) (2/1 0%) Jiff's Army	2 2/1(0%)	(3) Jiff's Army 2/1, Bit disappointing on slow ground at Brighton latest but had found improvement when runner-up in an Epsom maiden (7f) previously and sets the standard on that form.. Good second at Epsom last month; soft ground a plausible excuse for recent lesser effort.
5 4th (5) (12/1 +0%) Minelone	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Minelone 12/1, Foaled March 29. River Boyne colt. Dam, 13.3f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 7f James Garfield out of useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Whazzat. Market check advised on debut. Out of a half-sister to 2yo Group 2 winner James Garfield; no surprise if he features.
2 5th (2) (15/2 +6%) Flagon Dry	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(2) Flagon Dry 15/2, Foaled February 11. £10,000 2-y-o, Invincible Army gelding. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Dragon Leader. Dam 5.7f-1m winner in Britain/US. £10,000 breeze-up 2yo; half-brother to 6f Listed 2yo winner Dragon Leader.
11 6th (11) (40/1 -100%) Salaria	40 40/1(-100%)	(11) Salaria 40/1, Foaled April 2. £1,000 yearling, Highland Reel filly. Dam, French/German 11f/1½m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 8.5f Prosperous Voyage. Out of a half-sister to a Group 1 winner but would be a rare winning newcomer for the yard.
1 7th (1) (33/1 -32%) Chiaretto	33 33/1(-32%)	(1) Chiaretto 33/1, Twice-raced colt. 40/1, ninth of 13 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good) 27 days ago. Work to do. A down-the-field outsider in two 7f Yarmouth novice races this summer.
8 8th (8) (16/1 +20%) The Kamikaze King	16 16/1(+20%)	(8) The Kamikaze King 16/1, Foaled February 17. 1,000 gns yearling, Kameko colt. Dam maiden (stayed 1½m), closely related to very smart 1½m winner (stayed 16.5f) Count Octave. Newcomer who is bred for middle distances and may find 7f a bit sharp.
10 9th (10) (125/1 -400%) Rationale	125 125/1(-400%)	(10) Rationale 125/1, Once-raced filly. 33/1 and hooded, eighth of 9 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Looks a longer-term prospect. Too green to do herself justice when 33-1 for recent Bath debut (5.7f).
4 10th (4) (33/1 -106%) Lincoln Bliss	33 33/1(-106%)	(4) Lincoln Bliss 33/1, Foaled April 8. Land Force gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Lincoln Spirit and 7f winner Lincoln Gamble. Dam, 7f winner who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to useful 5f winner Haajes. Half-brother to connections' fair 7f winner Lincoln Gamble; best watched on debut.

17:25 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Jiff's Army has made the frame at Epsom and Brighton, and his official rating of 76 sets a fair standard. NAHASH was third behind a rival with that same mark at Chelmsford, but it was a pleasing debut and natural improvement could be enough to see James Horton's colt home in front. Flagon Dry is a half-brother to last year's smart juvenile Dragon Leader so is worth a glance in the market, as are fellow newcomers Magic Glow and Tattie Bogle.

NAHASH should have learnt plenty from last month's encouraging Chelmsford debut and can get off the mark. Jiff's Army looks the obvious danger on form, whilst Magic Glow may be the pick of the newcomers.

His outside draw is not ideal but Epsom runner-up JIFF'S ARMY is excused his recent lesser effort on soft ground and gets the nod.

17:30 Navan Handicap 14f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (13/2 -30%) Robbies Rock	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(3) Robbies Rock 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Last of 6 in handicap at Killarney (14.4f, good to soft, 5/2) 29 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Still early days and, given his position in the market last time, he's worthy of interest. 5-2 when ran poorly on h'cap debut over this trip; better ground and tongue-tie may help.
10 2nd (10) (25/1 -79%) Highland Bells	25 25/1(-79%)	(10) Highland Bells 25/1, Eleventh of 15 in handicap (33/1) at Galway (12f, good) 11 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Others more persuasive. Behind two of these when favourite for C&D contest; well held on softer ground since.
6 3rd (6) (7/1 -56%) Waystar	7 7/1(-56%)	(6) Waystar 7/1, Good fifth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Down Royal (12.8f, good to firm) 15 days ago, finishing well. Looks to be building up to something and is worth taking a chance on. After a lay-off, finished well over 1m5f last time (ordinary form); up in grade a little.
11 4th (11) (14/1 +30%) Maxwell Smart	14 14/1(+30%)	(11) Maxwell Smart 14/1, Bit below form sixth of 15 in handicap (14/1) at Roscommon (12.1f, soft) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others make more appeal. Third of seven over C&D; not as good over 1m4f on softer ground four days later.
9 5th (9) (11/1 +56%) Fine Print	11 11/1(+56%)	(9) Fine Print 11/1, 7/1 and blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (12.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Something to prove. Form of 1m5f second at Sligo has been let down; blinkers no help last time, sideburns back.
2 6th (2) (7/2 +0%) El Regalo	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(2) El Regalo 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, good fifth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (12.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Fair fifth over 1m4f on handicap debut; down in grade here; yet to race on good or faster.
1 7th (1) (12/1 +25%) Dont Do Dramas	12 12/1(+25%)	(1) Dont Do Dramas 12/1, Latest win at Ballinrobe in July. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Galway (8.4f, good) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. More required. Three wins on easy ground at up to 10.5f and good effort over 1m4f three runs back.
8 8th (8) (8/1 -14%) Lightning Legs	8 8/1(-14%)	(8) Lightning Legs 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good) 23 days ago. Booking of Kennedy a plus. Likely to continue in form and may do better. Fourth in modest C&D contest; more needed but 7lb claim a help and open to improvement.
5 9th (5) (9/2 -64%) Martinelli	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(5) Martinelli 9/2, 5/1, shaped as if still in form when fifth of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good) 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Should be on the premises. Fair handicapper at up to 1m1f; stamina doubts but half-brother and dam won over 1m4f.
7 10th (7) (11/2 +39%) Game Phoenix	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(7) Game Phoenix 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Good sixth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Second in pair of maiden hurdles; never landed a blow over 9.5f at Clonmel; trip may help.

17:30 Navan Handicap 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The Emmet Mullins-trained EL REGALO catches the eye on just his second start in handicap company. Having shown definite promise in three maiden runs around a mile, the Australia gelding appeared suited to stepping up in trip when fifth on his handicap debut last time. Faced with an additional two furlongs now, he could be nicely treated off a mark of 70. Question Of Class, who disappointed at Galway last time, had been a very consistent filly prior to that below-par run. Third at this track in July, she is another that is certainly worth chancing over this longer distance. Game Phoenix could be interesting at a bigger price. Twice runner-up in juvenile hurdles, the Paul Power-trained filly stayed on strongly over an inadequate trip last time at Clonmel.

WAYSTAR is unexposed and caught the eye with her finishing effort at Down Royal 15 days ago. so she could be the one to side with in a tricky contest. Martinelli is shaping as if still in form and should be on the premises, while El Regalo is hard to rule out.

Too free in blinkers last time, QUESTION OF CLASS has been freshened up and her earlier form on lively ground puts her in the mix

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (7/2 +56%) Atlantic Gamble	3.5 7/2(+56%)	(7) Atlantic Gamble 7/2, Likeable type who added to an excellent strike rate this year when grinding out another success at Kempton last month. Should be on the premises again. Generally progressive and has a record of 5-7 in handicaps; enters calculations.
8 2nd (8) (11/2 +45%) Phoenix Passion	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(8) Phoenix Passion 11/2, Has thrived this year, completing the four-timer when dead-heating at Kempton (1m) in June. Winning run came to an end at same course last time but he's liable to give another good account. Strike-rate of 5-8 in handicaps; ran creditably last time and remains in form.
12 3rd (12) (22/1 -10%) Dramatic Effect	22 22/1(-10%)	(12) Dramatic Effect 22/1, Narrowly opened account in a novice event at Goodwood (8f) in June but not much of a threat since and others look better treated. May benefit from the first-time hood, having often failed to settle.
2 4th (2) (2/1 +71%) Kodi Lion	2 2/1(+71%)	(2) Kodi Lion 2/1, Improving sort who scored at Ascot in July and backed it up with a solid showing in a 'Racing League' handicap at Southwell last time. Promises to be well suited by this distance and is worth chancing. Has largely consistent 6f/7f form, including a record of 121 on turf; new trip.
3 5th (3) (7/2 +71%) Urban Lion	3.5 7/2(+71%)	(3) Urban Lion 7/2, Mid-division in one of the hottest novices of the year on his 1m Newmarket debut in June and landed the odds in a 1m Chelmsford maiden 8 weeks later. Not disgraced at Goodwood since and drops back in trip for handicap debut. Ran well under a penalty in Goodwood novice event last time; handicap debut.
10 6th (10) (18/1 -350%) Sedgemoor	18 18/1(-350%)	(10) Sedgemoor 18/1, Has few miles on the clock and upped his game significantly when scoring easily despite a slow start at Haydock 3 months ago. Off since but capable of better still. Absent since Haydock win in June when making handicap debut; check the betting.
14 7th (14) (33/1 +0%) Aljezur	33 33/1(+0%)	(14) Aljezur 33/1, Has run respectably the last twice and is on a fair mark but he's likely to find this too competitive. Far from consistent this year and remains a maiden.
13 8th (13) (11/1 +8%) Thorntonledale Max	11 11/1(+8%)	(13) Thorntonledale Max 11/1, Lightly raced gelding who left previous efforts behind when off the mark in a 9-runner contest at Kempton a month ago. Could do better again switched to turf. Dead-heated at Kempton on latest AW start; brother to the winner of this race last year.

17:35 Newbury Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A gelding who only ever seems to do just enough when winning, GREAT CHIEFTAIN has consistently stayed ahead of the handicapper over the summer and a 3lb rise for his most recent success at Newmarket may not be enough to prevent him landing the hat-trick. Similar comments apply to Tribal Chief after getting up late to score off 6lb lower at Epsom recently, while the consistent Kodi Lion has his first go at 1m, having shaped as though he would be suited by going up in trip with fast-finishing efforts over 7f the last twice. Completing the shortlist are Atlantic Gamble, Retracement and Sedgemoor.

KODI LION is on the up and shaped well in a competitive event at Southwell last time, so he's worth a chance to defy this mark with the 1m trip sure to suit. Great Chieftain should be on the premises and Sedgemoor needs respecting based on the big impression he made at Haydock 3 months ago.

Judged on breeding this looks the perfect first turf assignment for THORNTONLEDALE MAX. Second choice is Tribal Chief.

1 1st (1) (10/3 +17%) Formal Display	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(1) Formal Display 10/3, Useful colt who ran well in a first-time tongue strap when fourth of 5 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft) 58 days ago. Down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. 0-5 on turf, ran well in Listed race in June, down in trip and blinkered, others preferred.
5 2nd (5) (5/2 -54%) Kelbelle	2.5 5/2(-54%)	(5) Kelbelle 5/2, Confirmed debut promise with a much-improved effort when off the mark in 10-runner maiden (9/4) at Bellewstown (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, readily under hands and heels. Open to further progress. Easy 1m win at Bellewstown latest, down in trip and this is tougher but can't discount.
4 3rd (4) (6/5 +13%) Rahmi	1.2 6/5(+13%)	(4) Rahmi 6/5, Useful gelding who ran well when runner-up at Chepstow in August. Not at his best at Leopardstown last week but sets the standard on previous form. Rock solid handicap runs at Chepstow and the Curragh, leading form claims in this company.
3 4th (3) (14/1 -17%) Expressova	14 14/1(-17%)	(3) Expressova 14/1, C&D winner in April and ran at least as well when fifth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) next time. Off 120 days. Trainer going well. C&D winner off 72 on yielding, has a lot to find at these weights, others appeal more.
2 5th (2) (14/1 -75%) Power Mode	14 14/1(-75%)	(2) Power Mode 14/1, Resumed progress when scoring at Naas in June but ran poorly at Cork (5f) last time. Significantly up in trip. Won off 87 at Naas in June, gelded since below par effort at Cork over 5f, gelded, watch.

17:40 Gowran Park Stakes 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Blinkers are tried on Formal Display, who has been disappointing this season but it'll come as no surprise if they have the desired effect. Kelbelle is of definite interest after an impressive win at Bellewstown last month, while Power Mode will need to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Cork if he is to feature. RAHMI has placed three times this season and in much calmer waters now, he looks the one to beat.

KELBELLE confirmed debut promise when running out a ready winner at Bellewstown last month and is open to plenty more improvement, so she's narrowly preferred to standard-setter Rahmi, who needs to bounce back from a below-par display at Leopardstown last week. Formal Display may prove best of the rest.

Preference is for RAHMI (nap). He's proven at this trip, he has top-notch handicap form in the book and he's the best treated in this.

Dam 6f winner (including at 2 yrs). One of the likelier newcomers in the line-up. Half-brother to a winner in Spain out of a Group 3 winner; betting to guide on debut.
5 2nd (5) (11/5 +37%) Metro Dubai	2.2 11/5(+37%)	(5) Metro Dubai 11/5, Matched previous form when third of 7 in maiden at Brighton (7f, good to soft, 10/3) 19 days ago. Can make his presence felt as he switches to tapeta with blinkers on 1st time. Not built on a promising debut but still brings leading form claims; new headgear today.
9 3rd (9) (7/2 +0%) Uppercase	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(9) Uppercase 7/2, Showed plenty to work on when third of 8 in maiden (8/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 40 days ago. That form has received a couple of boosts since, so he's one to note with improvement to come. Draw could have been kinder; shaped with plenty of promise on Kempton debut (form franked).
2 4th (2) (11/2 -120%) Herb Fennel	5.5 11/2(-120%)	(2) Herb Fennel 11/2, Has run to a fair level both starts, second of 6 in novice at Chester (6.1f, heavy, 10/3) 8 days ago. Leading contender with more still to offer upped in trip. Second run represented an improvement and he could do better yet over this extra furlong.
8 5th (8) (5/2 +67%) Tuco Salamanca	2.5 5/2(+67%)	(8) Tuco Salamanca 5/2, Foaled April 11. Belardo colt. Dam of little account. Market could be informative. Minor appeal on pedigree; stable's 2yos having a good year on turf, less so on AW.
10 6th (10) (16/1 -14%) We're Done	16 16/1(-14%)	(10) We're Done 16/1, Never dangerous on his first start when seventh of 10 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good, 80/1) 33 days ago. Looks one for the longer term. Shaped with promise when an 80-1 outsider on Yarmouth debut; one for the longer term.
12 7th (12) (150/1 -355%) Shadow River	150 150/1(-355%)	(12) Shadow River 150/1, Has finished well held both starts so far, ninth of 11 in maiden (66/1) at this course (6.1f) 16 days ago. Best watched. Big prices and well held in two fillies' maidens so far; major progress required.
4 8th (4) (66/1 -100%) Makes Me Wonder	66 66/1(-100%)	(4) Makes Me Wonder 66/1, From a very smart family but offered little first time up when last of 9 in maiden (40/1) at Kempton (7f) 40 days ago. Likely to need more time. Needs to leave last month's Kempton debut well behind him if he's to feature.
7 9th (7) (22/1 -120%) Smithy	22 22/1(-120%)	(7) Smithy 22/1, Held back by inexperience but made late headway when fourth of 10 in maiden (28/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 86 days ago. Open to improvement with that first outing behind him. Fair fourth at Newcastle on debut (7f); can do better but such progress is a must.
11 10th (11) (100/1 -300%) Helston Dance	100 100/1(-300%)	(11) Helston Dance 100/1, Foaled May 5. Due Diligence filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 6f-8.3f winner Nightingale Valley and 1m/9f winner Gloweth. Dam 1m-1½m winner. Wears hood. Faces tough ask on debut. Half-sister to 3 winners; should have a future but looks one for the longer term; hooded.
3 11th (3) (50/1 -150%) Invincible Storm	50 50/1(-150%)	(3) Invincible Storm 50/1, Foaled April 7. €47,000 foal, 17,000 gns yearling, Invincible Army colt. Dam unraced, half-sister to winner up to 1¼m Kings Quay and 9f-10.3f winner (stayed 1¾m) Milne Graden (both useful). Rare 2-y-o runner for yard. 17,000gns yearling; dam an unraced sister to a middle-distance winner; likely best watched.

17:55 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Metro Dubai finished third at Brighton on his latest outing and now sports first-time blinkers, which could eke out more. However, a chance can be taken on SMITHY, who showed ability when hitting the line well on his debut at Newcastle and might take a big step forward from that fourth-placed effort. Uppercase is another to note after his third at Kempton.

HERB FENNEL has shown encouragement on his first 2 starts, finding only a well-backed improver too strong at Chester on his latest outing, so he could be ready to get off the mark as he steps up in trip. Uppercase shaped promisingly on debut and could be the main danger, ahead of Metro Dubai.

The draw could have been kinder but UPPERCASE shaped with lots of promise on debut and can prove too strong for Herb Fennel.

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (5/2 +29%) Noisy Music	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(5) Noisy Music 5/2, Winner at Windsor in June. Wasn't seen to best effect upped to 7f for the first time when fifth of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Haydock (good) just over a fortnight ago, having to pick way through over 1f out. Not taken lightly. Denied clear run when fifth at Haydock this month and remains unexpoed over 7f.
2 2nd (2) (7/2 +61%) Jazzy Angel	3.5 7/2(+61%)	(2) Jazzy Angel 7/2, Course winner earlier in the year. Showed the benefit of a recent run when fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 22/1) 11 days ago. Each-way claims. Shaped quite well at Lingfield recently, her second run after a layoff; a possible.
1 3rd (1) (4/1 -113%) Whoop Whoop	4 4/1(-113%)	(1) Whoop Whoop 4/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 9/4, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 10 days ago, having run of race. Just 3 lb higher and expected to be bang there in her hat-trick bid. 2-2 at Lingfield since blinkers were added this month, making all both times; respected.
7 4th (7) (22/1 -100%) Mammy	22 22/1(-100%)	(7) Mammy 22/1, 8/1 and visored for 1st time, fared no better when tenth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 26 days ago, slowly away. Headgear left off but others more persuasive. Went close here in first two handicaps (7f/6f) but form has cooled since.
6 5th (6) (15/2 +6%) Berrygate	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(6) Berrygate 15/2, Blinkered for 1st time, shaped as if amiss when last of 13 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 12/1) just over 10 weeks ago, heavily eased off. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Lost action on latest outing in July but has a fighting chance if all goes to plan here.
4 6th (4) (28/1 -75%) Never Fear	28 28/1(-75%)	(4) Never Fear 28/1, C&D winner. 5/1 and visored for 1st time, again ran below form when tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 32 days ago. Headgear left off and she's not easy to make a case for despite an easing mark. Dangerously well handicapped now but a very hard filly to predict.
3 7th (3) (9/2 -13%) Thoughtful Gift	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(3) Thoughtful Gift 9/2, 4 wins from 12 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 5/2) 17 days ago, leading last ½f having had to wait for gap briefly early in straight. Can give another good account from 3 lb higher. Career-best form when coming from off the pace for decisive 1m Lingfield win this month.
8 8th (8) (18/1 +10%) Squeaker	18 18/1(+10%)	(8) Squeaker 18/1, Beaten by more than lack of stamina up in trip when tenth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm) just under 6 weeks ago. Significantly back down in trip. Drops back to 7f after heavy defeat over 1m4f; not the most obvious answer.
9 9th (9) (50/1 -213%) Lucy Lockett	50 50/1(-213%)	(9) Lucy Lockett 50/1, 11/1, still too free after 6 months off when sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 3 weeks ago. Makes tapeta debut. Safely held after racing too freely over 6f last month; others look less risly.

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

WHOOP WHOOP completed a course-and-distance double at Lingfield earlier in the month and she is only 3lb higher than her most recent victory. Tom Ward's filly has been a different proposition since the application of cheekpieces and she could continue her good run of form. Thoughtful Gift struck over a mile at Lingfield on her latest outing and should go well, while Noisy Music rates best of the rest.

The hat-trick beckons for WHOOP WHOOP, who is undefeated since the cheekpieces went on and Tom Ward's filly can defy a 3 lb rise at the expense of Thoughtful Gift, who is a couple of years older than all her rivals and arrives on the back of a fourth success of the campaign. Noisy Music can edge out Jazzy Angel for third.

Whoop Whoop has won her last two but THOUGHTFUL GIFT looked in excellent nick when scoring at Lingfield recently and is preferred.

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (3/1 -33%) South Dakota Sioux	3 3/1(-33%)	(5) South Dakota Sioux 3/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (2/1) just under 11 weeks ago, left with too much to do. Down to a career-low mark so one to consider with talented apprentice booked. 0-8 for current yard but ran encouragingly when favourite the last twice; on a handy mark.
1 2nd (1) (25/1 -213%) Under Curfew	25 25/1(-213%)	(1) Under Curfew 25/1, Latest win at Salisbury in July. Below form tenth of 16 in handicap (33/1) at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Up in trip. Competitively handicapped off his lower AW mark but has something to prove back at 7f.
12 3rd (12) (10/3 +52%) Cobh Harbour	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(12) Cobh Harbour 10/3, 9/4, failed to meet expectations when 3 lengths fifth of 9 to Hawajes in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Dropped another 2 lb and merits consideration. Still a maiden but produced best effort over C&D last winter; well treated on that form.
8 4th (8) (6/1 -33%) Mintana	6 6/1(-33%)	(8) Mintana 6/1, Course winner last year. Also won 7-runner minor event at Lingfield (6f, good, 7/2) 6 weeks ago, staying on to lead over 1f out. Back in a handicap and should go close if in the same mood. Won classified event on turf last time; placed over C&D in last two AW attempts; solid.
3 5th (3) (13/2 +28%) Coconut Bay	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(3) Coconut Bay 13/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Catterick in August. Not in same form when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Catterick (7f, firm, 18/1) 33 days ago. Must bounce back. Scored over C&D in May but she is now 6lb higher; doesn't look favourably treated.
11 6th (11) (11/1 +45%) Port Noir	11 11/1(+45%)	(11) Port Noir 11/1, 3-time C&D winner. 5/1, ran one of this season's poorer races when fourth of 6 in handicap at this C&D just over 2 weeks ago. Others more persuasive. Four-time winner at Wolverhampton, most recently off this mark in April; fighting chance.
9 7th (9) (9/2 +31%) Hawajes	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(9) Hawajes 9/2, Latest win at Chepstow in September. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Bath (8f, good, 10/1) 7 days ago, slowly away. Can give another good account. Scored at Chepstow this month; placed at Bath last Saturday, showing he remains in form.
10 8th (10) (16/1 +60%) Revolucion	16 16/1(+60%)	(10) Revolucion 16/1, Fifteen runs since sole win here in 2023. Well-beaten sixth of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, heavy, 40/1) just over 3 weeks ago. 0-5 for current stable, all in sprint races; overall record is just 1-32.
7 9th (7) (66/1 -100%) Evasive Power	66 66/1(-100%)	(7) Evasive Power 66/1, Course winner. 25/1, showed nothing on first run since leaving Alice Haynes (2,000 gns) when last of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) just over 3 weeks ago. Failed to beat a rival at Ffos Las last month on debut for new stable; best watched.
6 10th (6) (28/1 -600%) Dawn Success	28 28/1(-600%)	(6) Dawn Success 28/1, 66/1, still green when eighth of 13 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) just under 5 weeks ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut and should make more of an impact. Boughey runner who looks the type to improve now handicapping at a modest level.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Mintana was successful in a classified event at Lingfield last month and she should make a bold bid back in the handicap ranks. However, HAWAJES look the way to go. Tony Carroll's four-year-old finished a fair third at Bath on his latest outing and he might be able to capitalise off an unchanged mark. South Dakota Sioux is another to watch out for.

SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX hasn't won for a while but he was left with too much too do when last seen over C&D in July, so he's fancied to get back to winning ways from a career-low mark with the booking of a talented apprentice only enhancing his claims further. Dawn Success, making his handicap debut, is next best, ahead of Mintana.

Off a very handy mark and with Kaiya Fraser taking off a bonus 5lb, SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX is preferred. Dawn Success is second choice.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (11/4 0%) Charlotte's Web	2.75 11/4(0%)	(2) Charlotte's Web 11/4, 11/4, possibly found race coming too soon when fourth of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (9.9f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut and sure to be popular given connections. Unlucky not to go closer over C&D last month; makes appeal on her handicap debut.
3 2nd (3) (13/2 +54%) Rosenzoo	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(3) Rosenzoo 13/2, C&D winner in July. Below form when seventh of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 26 days ago. Must bounce back. Has lost the plot since winning over C&D in high summer; has it all to prove now.
9 3rd (9) (16/1 -78%) Snooze Lane	16 16/1(-78%)	(9) Snooze Lane 16/1, 3-time C&D winner, latest in April. Typically gave running back on all-weather after 10 weeks off when fourth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at this course (8.6f) 14 days ago. Likely to find a few too strong. Boasts a fair record over C&D, including three wins; is one to consider.
5 4th (5) (9/1 -80%) Francesi	9 9/1(-80%)	(5) Francesi 9/1, Twenty-five runs since sole win in 2022. Wasn't seen to best effect but still ran creditably down in grade when third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 28/1) 11 days ago, slowly away. Expected to be bang there from a career-low mark. Has run well over C&D in the past and on a competitive mark now, having shown more latest.
4 5th (4) (5/1 +0%) Yeoman	5 5/1(+0%)	(4) Yeoman 5/1, Course winner. Back on track when third of 8 in handicap (11/4) at Southwell (7.1f) 18 days ago, slowly away. Significantly back up in trip. Player if building on that effort. Currently 3-4 round here, all wins coming over 8.7f last year; has to prove his stamina.
6 6th (6) (9/2 +10%) Fihrayn	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(6) Fihrayn 9/2, 13/2, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm) 6 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Makes tapeta debut. Each-way claims. Maiden who's found his level now; stamina is a concern going back up in trip again.
7 7th (7) (20/1 -25%) Precision Storm	20 20/1(-25%)	(7) Precision Storm 20/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Bath in June. 14/1, found run of good form coming to a halt in no uncertain terms when last of 11 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Bounce back needed. Plenty of seconds to go with three C&D wins; 7lb lower than when last seen on Tapeta.
1 8th (1) (12/1 -100%) Master Of Combat	12 12/1(-100%)	(1) Master Of Combat 12/1, C&D winner. Ran poorly when eighth of 13 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to soft, 40/1) 15 days ago. Enters calculations back on all-weather/down in grade. Three-time course winner who rarely runs badly round here; better can be expected.
8 9th (8) (40/1 -300%) Light Up Our Stars	40 40/1(-300%)	(8) Light Up Our Stars 40/1, Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in July. 25/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 14 days ago, weakening when short of room briefly final 1f. Others look stronger for win purposes. Gets away with this trip but most wins have come at 1m; has to improve on recent efforts.

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

The steadily progressive CHARLOTTE'S WEB caught the eye with the way she travelled into contention before fading into fourth late on over 1m2f on testing ground at Goodwood last month. Pitched into handicap company for the first time, she can make light of an opening mark of 77. This step back up in trip can see Yeoman go well, while Fihrayn completes the shortlist having performed well over a mile at Bath latest.

FRANCESI has just the sole success to his name, but he's been shaping up well in recent starts so gets the nod to double his tally having dropped to a career-low mark at the expense of Master of Combat, who ran a shocker at Ascot last time but is back down in class here. Charlotte's Web can edge out Snooze Lane for the bronze medal.

The vote goes to CHARLOTTE'S WEB (nap), who caught the eye in a C&D novice last month. Yeoman rates the main danger.

8 2nd (8) (14/1 +30%) Alafdhal	14 14/1(+30%)	(8) Alafdhal 14/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 16 runs this year. Last of 5 in handicap (8/1) at Brighton (5.3f, soft) 12 days ago. Bit to prove at present. Engaged Kempton 7.15 Friday. Two wins and a third to his name in four runs over C&D; non-runner at Kempton last night.
1 3rd (1) (4/1 +27%) Phoenix Beach	4 4/1(+27%)	(1) Phoenix Beach 4/1, Course winner in August. 5/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap back here (5.1f) 14 days ago. Return to this trip may help and he's a live each-way contender. Solid effort here two weeks ago; tonight's extra furlong will suit and he's shortlisted.
9 4th (9) (5/1 -50%) Kensington Agent	5 5/1(-50%)	(9) Kensington Agent 5/1, C&D winner. Won 12-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 33 days ago. Definite chance of going in again up 4 lb if able to back that effort up. Two wins and a third to her name in six runs over C&D; holds claims upped 4lb.
4 5th (4) (11/1 -22%) Impeach	11 11/1(-22%)	(4) Impeach 11/1, Fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good, 6/1) 42 days ago. Salisbury near miss prior to that was his best effort of the season so far, and he'd have a chance if able to reproduce that form here. Three-time Lingfield winner who seems best on Polytrack; hard to catch right these days.
2 6th (2) (9/1 +10%) Kitten Gloves	9 9/1(+10%)	(2) Kitten Gloves 9/1, 11/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at this course (7.2f). Off 93 days. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Twice started favourite for 6f AW handicaps last summer off higher marks; interesting.
7 7th (7) (12/1 -140%) Galel	12 12/1(-140%)	(7) Galel 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 18 in maiden at Cork (5f, heavy, 66/1). Off 175 days and steps up in trip for this handicap/yard debut. Half-sister to two Tapeta winners; market will be the best guide back from six months off.
6 8th (6) (15/2 -125%) Melisende	7.5 15/2(-125%)	(6) Melisende 15/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 7 days ago, slowly away. This 3 lb higher mark should be manageable and she's a key contender. Said to have overcome ulcers when winning last weekend; may be up to defying a 3lb rise.
3 9th (3) (10/3 +83%) Inspired Knowhow	3.333333 10/3(+83%)	(3) Inspired Knowhow 10/3, Winner at Windsor in May. Seventh of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good) 27 days ago. Likely to come up short once more. Has done most recent racing over 5f and will need to improve on his latest effort.
10 10th (10) (33/1 -106%) May Remain	33 33/1(-106%)	(10) May Remain 33/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap (9/1) here when last seen 175 days. Others are more persuasive. Yard also represented by Koji. Goes well for Elle-May Croot; might need this first run in six months at his age.
5 11th (5) (18/1 -100%) A Pint Of Bear	18 18/1(-100%)	(5) A Pint Of Bear 18/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 18 runs this year. 7/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 20 days ago. Down another 2 lb and he'll be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward. Has landed the outside stall and Phoenix Beach is perhaps his yard's best hope.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MELISENDE bounced right back to form with an impressive display when scoring over 6f at Lingfield last week and, upped 3lb, the daughter of Havana Grey should be tough to stop with a reproduction of that effort. This step back up in trip can see Phoenix Beach emerge as the main danger to the selection having performed with credit over 5f the last twice, while better can be expected from Galel on her handicap/stable debut.

Last-time-out winners MELISENDE and Kensington Agent may well come to the fore here, with marginal preference for the 3-y-o. She did the job well when opening her account in this headgear combination at Lingfield last weekend and there could be more to come now that connections have seemingly found the key to her. A Pint of Bear and Phoenix Beach can do battle for minor honours.

Phoenix Beach and Melisende both have claims but KITTEN GLOVES looks on a fair mark now and is preferred.

3 2nd (3) (11/4 +61%) Trojan Truth	2.75 11/4(+61%)	(3) Trojan Truth 11/4, 20/1, below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm) 41 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. The headgear is removed back from six weeks off and he'll need to bounce back.
5 3rd (5) (5/1 -82%) Kojin	5 5/1(-82%)	(5) Kojin 5/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 5-runner handicap at Les Landes (14f, good) 26 days ago. Will be a danger to all if in a similar mood back on these shores. Recent Jersey win won't have hurt confidence; well treated if he builds on it.
7 4th (7) (12/1 +64%) Sexy Rexy	12 12/1(+64%)	(7) Sexy Rexy 12/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Newbury (12f, soft, 66/1) 16 days ago. Others make more appeal. Generally struggled this year (allowed to set a steady pace when fourth here last month).
4 5th (4) (18/1 -13%) Renoir	18 18/1(-13%)	(4) Renoir 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. 100/1, first run since leaving Ian Williams when fifth of 6 in novice at Southwell (12.1f). Big step forward needed now pitched into a handicap. Been off for five months since finishing tailed off for his new yard at Southwell.
6 6th (6) (9/2 +68%) Livinthelife	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(6) Livinthelife 9/2, Course winner. Last of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Kempton (12f) 24 days ago, folding tamely. Needs a couple of these to falter. Last two runs, when tailed off each time, will need forgiving; others make greater appeal.
10 7th (10) (50/1 -213%) Aquifolia	50 50/1(-213%)	(10) Aquifolia 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Grace Harris when last of 6 in minor event at Ffos Las (8f, heavy, 40/1) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip and sports a first-time hood for this handicap debut. Tailed off for new yard on her comeback three weeks ago and takes a big step up in trip.
1 8th (1) (6/1 -50%) Fiddlers Green	6 6/1(-50%)	(1) Fiddlers Green 6/1, Three wins from 10 runs this year, the latest at Doncaster in April. 11/4, sixth of 8 in handicap at Haydock (11.6f, good) 16 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and he has to enter calculations. Punished for two easy turf wins in April; has a bit to prove on his Tapeta debut.
9 9th (9) (66/1 -100%) Exceptionality	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Exceptionality 66/1, Last of 8 in handicap (66/1) at this C&D 16 days ago and he looks set for another struggle. Modest maiden who finished a well-beaten last of eight over C&D last time.

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Mark Loughnane has his string in fine form at present and PYSANKA gets the vote. He made eye-catching late headway when going down narrowly in second over an extended 1m3f at Windsor earlier this month and, off an unchanged mark, he can go one better. With legitimate excuses for his recent disappointing effort over 1m4f at Leicester, Trojan Truth may offer some each-way value, while Fiddlers Green should find this easier than his most recent assignment.

PYSANKA, Kojin and Fiddlers Green could be the trio to concentrate on, with the vote going to the first-named who lost little caste in defeat when going close back from a six-month break at Windsor recently. Kojin resumed winning ways in Jersey last time and he is marginally preferred as the main danger ahead of Fiddlers Green.

This isn't particularly competitive and PYSANKA has every chance of registering a fourth C&D victory. Kojin is second choice.

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.
