13:40 Bellewstown Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This ground is likely to be very testing. On breeding, SUN NEVER SETS ought to handle deep ground and has plenty in her favour. She is the highest rated in the field and in-form claimer Wayne Hassett takes 7lb off her back. She hasn't been beaten far in her last three starts and was placed in two of them. Furthermore, she goes to work from the best draw in stall one. Noel Meade and Colin Meade are a useful combination and they team up with Tatum who kept on well for third over slightly further in Naas. That was on much better ground, but she does look dangerous. Not Far To Fall was only beaten a neck and a head into third in a claiming maiden at Navan which gives him a shot.

TATUM looks the way to go on the back of her very good Naas third with her yard also going very well. Top-weight Sun Never Sets is feared most ahead of Not Far To Fall and Interestnpenalties.

Colin Keane prefers TATUM to the Lyons runner Cool Dandy; the daughter of Postponed can build on her third at Naas on handicap bow

ORTELIUS made a very pleasing start to his career when just touched off over 1m at the Curragh and plenty of improvement can be expected. This son of Justify might have shed the maiden tag at the first time of asking had he been more alert at the start and he is likely to be more streetwise here for powerful connections. Wafei is feared most after just a short-head defeat on his racecourse debut over 1m at Haydock, while Bellum Justum heads the remainder.

Usually a good maiden and this looks brimming with promising colts, notably WAFEI and Ortelius, who went very close first time up. Both are open to plenty of improvement and interestingly are berthed on the opposite sides of the track here, the vote going to Wafei who has the potentially favourable highest draw. 1.6M yearling Duke's Command is of obvious interest first time up for Godolphin and the betting should be informative.

This could be a hot maiden. Aidan O'Brien's $1.1m colt ORTELIUS did plenty wrong at the Curragh and yet still nearly won.

With Danny Mullins taking over in the saddle, WALMIX might be able to take this ordinary contest. Successful in a bumper at Wexford in June, the French bred five-year-old has performed with credit in three starts over hurdles since. He should be able to put the experience gain to good use now and it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end. Turned out again quickly after winning at Down Royal on Monday, Red Trail is given second preference. Fifth on her most recent try over flights at Naas in March, the hat-trick seeking chestnut is sure to prove popular with punters. While frustrating to follow, Ta Na La should be able to make her presence felt, getting valuable sex and age weight allowances. A runner-up at Kilbeggan earlier this month, Rock Ya Boy Ya is another that warrants respect, along with Fast Medicine, Conyers Hill and Arnacoeur.

Having made the frame on all 4 starts over hurdles, TA NA LA probably found the test inadequate back on the Flat when fourth in a Laytown maiden (7.2f) 16 days ago. Returned to timber, she could be worth siding with to come out on top in a maiden lacking depth. Conyers Hill and Arnacoeur head up the dangers.

This looks between Irish raiders PINYON JAY and I Love My Baie, both of whom made winning hurdling debuts with ease in 2m4f maidens last time out. The latter's came at this venue in July and, as a brother to French Champion Hurdle winner Hermes Baie, he's bred to be useful in this sphere. However, he looked better the further he went that day, so the drop in trip is a concern and slight preference is for Gordon Elliott's gelding in receipt of 2lb. Despite plenty going wrong at Down Royal 27 days ago, the selection still ran out a facile winner and there should be a lot more to come, given how green he was that day. Lucinda Russell won this race last year and her point-to-point winner Whistle Stop Tour would be dangerous to dismiss.

I LOVE MY BAIE looks a useful hurdler in the making and can make it 2-2 in this sphere 12 weeks on from his impressive victory over further at this venue. Down Royal-winner Pinyon Jay is the obvious danger, although Whistle Stop Tour makes some appeal on his first go hurdling having won a point in Ireland when last seen.

This will probably be fought out by the two last-time-out hurdle winners. PINYON JAY is narrowly preferred to I Love My Baie.

DARK CRUSADE has run with plenty of credit on both starts this season and the lightly-raced gelding remains open to further improvement in his bid to shed the maiden tag. Tilia Cordata forced a dead-heat at Salisbury on her latest outing and she is likely to go well despite a 3lb rise. The shortlist is completed by Yazaman and Opal Storm.

OPAL STORM took a notable step forward when scoring at Carlisle earlier in the month and shaped as if still on a fair mark at Redcar last time, so she's taken to get the better of the high-drawn Tilia Cordata, who produced a career best when dead-heating at Salisbury last time. Dark Crusade was in the frame behind the selection at Carlisle and can give a good account again.

Blazing Hot is interesting on his stable debut but OPAL STORM is on the up and she can register her second win.

DUMB LOVE posted a third place in a fillies' maiden on soft ground at Naas last month which has to give her every chance here. She wasn't at her best on her next start, but is taken to bounce back in first-time blinkers. Perseids sets the standard with runner-up berths banked at Naas and Dundalk, but testing ground is a nagging concern. Her dam was more than capable on slow ground so she could handle it and, if she does, she has sound claims. Local Girl acquitted herself well in second on slow ground at Leopardstown in July and gets first-time cheekpieces. She has plenty to find at these weights, but testing ground could make things interesting. Hasiyna is returning off a break and represents an in-form Dermot Weld, so a market check is advised.

Not an easy maiden to assess and Dermot Weld's twice-raced filly HASIYNA is taken to come out on top if, as expected, building on her encouraging Sligo third after an absence. Perseids and Dumb Love both have the form to have a big say if back on their A-games and can chase home the selection in that order.

The Hartys might strike here with CATWALK COUTURE who made a promising debut at Naas a year ago; Hasiyna looks a danger

BLOWN AWAY won well despite running green in the closing stages over 1m at Chelmsford last time and he is likely to continue his upward trajectory on his nursery bow. Granny Budgie was not disgraced in a valuable event at Doncaster a couple of weeks ago and could prove to be the main danger, although Stormy Waves and Centurion Dream should not be discounted.

The well-bred BLOWN AWAY impressed when opening his account at the third attempt in a Chelmsford novice over this trip 2 weeks ago and, with further progress anticipated from this scopey colt, he earns the vote to follow up on nursery debut. I'm Puzzled and Granny Budgie head up the dangers, with Lambert another to consider.

Topweight BLOWN AWAY (nap) was a cosy winner from Stormy Waves at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and can follow up on nursery debut.

Bal De Rio (11,000 euros) has excelled in races of this nature and starting off for James McAuley, it'll come as no surprise if he adds to his tally. STARMAN finished behind the admirable 10-year-old at Bellewstown last month, but with a swing in the weights, he might be able to reverse the form. In for just 5,000 euros, the Declan Queally-trained selection was outclassed at Navan on his most recent start and should appreciate this drop in grade. Rotten Row (15,000 euros) has been in fine form of late and it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end. Already a four-time winner, he is rated 10lb higher over the larger obstacles. Returning to flights for the first time in well over a year, Coole Arcade (5,000 euros) is capable of making his presence felt, while the 115-rated Kashi (15,000 euros) is another that warrants respect.

STARMAN wasn't disgraced in the face of a stiff task at Navan recently and could be the way to go back in a claimer. Bal de Rio was just ahead of him in a similar event at Bellewstown last month and can go well again. Rotten Row is another to consider.

Third in the Grade 1 Challow Hurdle at Newbury on New Year's Eve, Idalko Bihoue is very interesting on his chasing debut today and could be tough to beat if at his best. However, he was a well-beaten last of five at Ayr when on his latest outing in April and has a few questions to answer, so the vote goes to SNAKE ROLL. A decent novice over timber himself, he was third in a Grade 2 at Kelso in March and looks the type to be suited by larger obstacles for local handler Lucinda Russell. Pats Choice has chase experience on his side and Gordon Elliott's six-year-old is very much respected on his easy handicap success over fences at Wexford in June.

SNAKE ROLL had an encouraging first season over hurdles, shaping well amidst inexperience when edged out on the line in a handicap at this course in April, and he looks a useful prospect to go chasing (made the frame all 3 starts in Irish points). He is taken to get the better of fellow chase debutant Idalko Bihoue, who remains with potential.

The two chasing debutants have considerable potential. SNAKE ROLL has less to prove than Idalko Bihoue and is given the vote.

FLAVOUR MAKER stepped forward from his racecourse bow when filling the runner-up spot at Windsor earlier this month. That performance sets a fairly decent standard and he wouldn't need to improve much to get off the mark. Triggerman is capable of being in the mix following his second at Newcastle last month, while Sala Da Ballo appeals most of the remainder.

FLAVOUR MAKER was much sharper on his second start when runner-up at Windsor earlier this month and he can continue his progress to get off the mark. The main danger could be Triggerman, who also improved from his debut when just failing at Newcastle on his latest outing, while Quantum Force is another who merits consideration.

Roger Varian's FLAVOUR MAKER should appreciate this stiffer track after running on into second at Windsor.

LISIEUX looks the part. This Camacho filly finished third at Listowel last week when only collared in the closing stages. The form was franked when the runner-up beat a big field in Cork on Tuesday. Crucially, Lisieux has a soft-ground victory from Naas last year in her locker and she is on a very handy mark. Yuzu has shown ability on rain-softened ground in better races. The assessor has dropped her by 4lb, so she should be very competitive despite the impediment of being drawn wide in stall 17. Hope And Innocence is coming down the weights and has a more than capable 7lb claimer booked. She didn't run badly in fourth at this track in July and also has form on soft ground. Bride Tree showed more in third at the Curragh and could build upon that.

Lots with chances but Sarah Dawson's low-mileage filly BRIDE TREE can race off the same mark as when an excellent Curragh third last time out so edges the vote. Irish Rumour is feared most on the back of her very good Leopardstown fourth, with top-weight Bright Dick also worth considering in an open handicap.

The top weight BRIGHT DICK probably wants further ideally but he's still well capable of winning a race of this nature

Frankness arrives here in good form after running on strongly to score over 6f at Salisbury last time, and he looks primed to offer another bold bid. However, he must defy a 4lb rise in the ratings and the reopposing Al Simmo (second) is on 2lb better terms with that rival for a one-length defeat. Therefore, slight preference is for GALE FORCE MAYA, who appears to be on an attractive mark following her disappointing effort in a valuable heritage handicap at York last time.

Plenty in with a shout but returned to 6f, Jamie Osborne's EXECUTIVE DECISION is fancied to resume her progress and make it 3 wins from her last 4 starts. Frankness and Al Simmo finished 1-2 in a similar event at Salisbury 3 weeks ago and they could be the pair to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Minnetonka, who confirmed she's back to her very best when finishing runner-up at Pontefract last week.

Gale Force Maya, a previous winner of this race, is greatly respected but MINNETONKA is thriving and bumped into one last week.

COSTANUCI might be able to follow up on her Listowel success. The John Queally-trained six-year-old came from off the pace at the County Kerry venue and ultimately won in convincing fashion. Now on a career high mark of 104, she will be ridden by Neil Ryan who claims a valuable 7lb. Handicap debutant The Grey Dove is given second preference. She made the breakthrough on her fourth start over flights at Sligo last month and is open to further progress. Theonewedreamof hinted at a return to form when a never nearer fourth at Downpatrick recently and it'll be interesting to see if she can build on that performance. In truth, it's difficult to safely rule out any of these. A solid fifth on her handicap debut here in May, Ballycashin warrants respect for Tony and Danny Mullins, while Bynx and Phils Choice are other leading hopes.

This looks competitive but CONSTANUCI clearly benefited from the step back up in trip and ultimately won with a bit to spare when landing a Listowel handicap (20f) 11 days ago and she gets the narrow vote to defy a rise in the weights. Ballycashin, back from a break, remains with potential and she's feared, along with Phils Choice and Sligo-winner The Grey Dove.

Three-time chase winner Arctic Ambition could improve for a return to fences and the Irish raider is respected, along with course scorer Uptown Harry, who returns off a 3lb higher mark than when successful at Carlisle over a similar trip in March. A step up in distance is a possible source of improvement for Lucinda Russell's Netywell, but stablemate READYSTEADYBEAU is of more interest today. He's only 4lb higher than when scoring over an extended 2m5f at Ayr in February and his performance when winning unchallenged over 3m here in April suggests he is still improving.

There's something to like about each of the sextet in this tricky handicap, but ARCTIC AMBITION has remained in form since landing a brace of handicap hurdles in May and Gordon Elliott's gelding is fancied to make the quick switch back to fences a successful one. Readysteadybeau's jumping still leaves some cause for concern but he's run out an impressive winner on both of his last 2 completed outings, whilst Petrastar has also made a bright start to his chase career and merits consideration

Gordon Elliott's versatile and consistent 8yo ARCTIC AMBITION (nap) is probably still on a workable mark and may well be the answer.

Empire Of Art benefited from the experience gained on debut when getting off the mark at Windsor last month.

The vote, therefore, goes to MAGICO, who is likely to appreciate a step up in trip following his third at Epsom. Zayina and Sayalittleprayer can fight it out for the minor honours.

MAGICO seems the type to go on improving with experience so gets the vote over Zayina, who offered something to work on at Beverley. Penalised winner Empire of Art is another to consider.

Preference is for the filly ZAYINA, who did well to finish fourth on her debut at Beverley last month having been caught wide.

There looks like there could be plenty of pace in this race and it may be worth taking a chance on SPECKLED MEADOW. S-he couldn't get involved from a wide draw when finishing mid-division at Galway, but is better judged on her running-on second over an extended 7f at Leopardstown on her penultimate start. She is a confirmed mudlark and will relish these conditions. Noel Meade's Tea Olive has been off since disappointing at Leopardstown in July, but could travel into contention behind the pace on ground she will handle. The handicapper has given her a chance by easing her by 4lb. Drop The Dip was strong off the front on bottomless ground at Listowel last week, so has to be respected under the 7lb penalty. Recent winners Perfect Poise and Lady Arwen will have their supporters.

PERFECT POISE has gone the right way in handicaps since stepped back up to 1m. She was merely pushed out to see off 13 rivals at Punchestown a couple of weeks ago and could still be ahead of the assessor. Drop The Dip and Lady Arwen are other thriving sorts who are likely to have a say.

Adam Caffrey gets a tune out of SPECKLED MEADOW and the more rain the better for the six-year-old mare who hit form this time last year

The Charlie Appleby team have won this contest in two of the last three years, and they look to have another ideal candidate in LEGEND OF TIME. The son of Sea The Stars did well to get his head in front on debut at Haydock, and dropping back in trip should not inconvenience him. Military made a striking impression on his fist outing at Naas and must enter calculations, along with Alyanaabi and Solario Stakes runner-up Inishfallen.

This looks wide open but MILITARY looked a good prospect when making a winning debut at Naas 2 weeks ago and is open to considerable progress for a yard that has plenty of fire power in this division. Eben Shaddad is another well-regarded colt from a top stable so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Alyanaabi, who shaped well in a hot listed race at Ascot.

A deep renewal of this always-strong Group 3. ALYANAABI has a major chance on RPRs after his fourth at Ascot and there's more to come.

The six-year-old chestnut done well to win at Navan after making a bad mistake at the last and he'll be well fancied to follow up now. The Matthew Smith-trained Ragin Cajun sprang a surprise when winning easily at Listowel last week and a reproduction of that performance would see him hard to beat. Smith also saddles GIGANTAMAX EEVEE and a chance is taken on this Mount Nelson five-year-old. She came in for plenty of market support at Listowel and was in the process of running a fine race when falling two out. Rated just 80, she is open to further progress. A case can be made for many others in this competitive affair. Shark Hanlon saddles an interesting contender in the shape of handicap debutant Chasing Chances, while Flemensreva (first-time tongue-strap), Briana Lily and More Info are other leading hopes.

Having landed an 18-runner event at Listowel with something in hand last week, RAGIN CAJUN is well worth a chance to go in again despite the penalty. Most of the others have a bit to prove but More Info and Walk In Time should give their running.

Pammi struck by a short head in a three-way duel to the line over C&D last time and she has only been raised 3lb for that display, which should keep her in contention. However, the vote goes to THE LONGEST DAY, who had the former well-held over C&D last month when accounting for his rivals by a length and a half. The son of Milan could prove very hard to beat off 5lb higher. Return Fire completes the shortlist on his return to this sphere.

RETURN FIRE proved a consistent sort over fences last term and has run well off a break too so is worth siding with to capitalise on a lenient-looking mark back over hurdles. Pammi has a superb record round here and rates a big threat, while in-form maiden Tango Theatre ought to be in the shake-up too in an open handicap.

Preference is for TANGO THEATRE, who has posted some very creditable performances in defeat this year and certainly deserves a win.

Ben Haslam's charge was slowly away on that occasion and he is likely to be seen in a better light should he get off on terms. First Impression rates as the biggest danger to the selection following his second over the extended 1m2f at Chester, while Theoryofeverything also commands respect.

FIRST IMPRESSION has looked back to something like his very best in recent starts so John Quinn's 6-y-o is fancied to notch a sixth career victory at the expense of King Lear, who went down fighting behind a progressive one returning from a long absence at Goodwood earlier this month and he should have more to offer now handicapping. Chriszoff and Theoryofeverything can do battle for third spot.

Both of those races were in a slightly higher grade than this one. Distillate suffered a nightmare journey when fifth at Down Royal on Monday. She was caught in the closing stages at Navan by Step Back In Time, so has to rate a danger and this ground won't inconvenience her. Eruption is certainly on a mark she can be competitive off. Distillate's stablemate, Zig Zag Zyggy, won here in July. His form is in and out, however, he is capable on a going day but wouldn't want the ground too deep.

STEP BACK IN TIME is in top form and could be the way to go in this handicap. Catherine Chroi and Eruption are a couple of others to consider.

He finished second to Glenquin Castle at Galway earlier this month and this looks a good opportunity for him to register a fifth career success. Starting off over the larger obstacles, The Short Go is given second preference. The Fame And Glory bay finished no worse than third on his first five starts, but disappointed when a well-beaten sixth of eight on his latest outing at Ballybrit. Bella Bliss is the other leading hope and is two from two since switching to fences. She done well to strike on her chasing debut at Ballinrobe, before following up when coming home alone in a two-runner contest at Kelso. Alex Harvey again takes the ride on the Getaway six-year-old, with the capable amateur claiming a valuable 7lb.

IRIDESCENT took another step forward in defeat in a Galway handicap chase last time and could edge out Bella Bliss who is 2-2 in this sphere. The Short Go is clearly of interest going chasing for Henry de Bromhead but it's not certain he'll stay 3m.

Less exposed and upped to a trip he's probably been waiting for, MONOCHROMIX is taken over fellow handicap debutant Stuzzikini.

It's tough to get away from BEYOND BORDERS, who showed improved form to resume winning ways at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and Karl Burke's colt can continue his upward trajectory returned to turf. Another Gift had her winning run ended at Yarmouth last week but remains in top form so heads up the dangers, with Whoop Whoop and Swordplay completing the shortlist.

A very tricky puzzle. ZENON hasn't been seen on a racecourse since winning a good pot at Killarney in August 2020 but, interestingly, he holds an entry in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket next month which indicates that he is training well. Staying trips are his forte and he enjoys deep ground. Charming Star was tough in winning over a similar trip in a maiden at Listowel. He will plough through conditions and should be no backmarker. The lightly-raced Martinstown should come on from his comeback third in Roscommon at the start of the month. He is clearly talented, as evidenced by landing a hot maiden in Cork last year, but he may not want the ground to be deep. Joseph O'Brien's Roaring Gallagher could be an improver up in trip with Conor Stone-Walsh's 7lb claim a bonus.

STAR HARBOUR has acquitted himself well in some competitive handicaps in Britain in recent weeks and this looks a good opportunity for another win. Aidan O'Brien's Martinstown can give him most to think about ahead of Mr King.

The highest rated in the race STAR HARBOUR has still to convince at this trip but he could just get away with it around this track

MARHABA THE CHAMP was value for more than the winning margin when scoring on his first go over this distance at York last time out, and he can overcome the burden of top weight to follow up under Ryan Moore. Kevin Ryan's charge is preferred to Kempton scorer Tenerife Sunshine and Spectacular Style, who could not have done it any easier at Hamilton and now makes his handicap debut. Splendent and Victory Dance have the form to get involved as well.

MARHABA THE CHAMP's York Ebor meeting win looks very solid form so he might be able to see off the 3-y-o contingent, headed by Spectacular Style and Tenerife Sunshine, who are lightly raced types from leading stables and likely have more to offer.

The return to this C&D could be a plus for CRYSTAL DELIGHT, who was a good second here in May and is now 2lb lower.

The progressive CAVE COURT is officially 6lb well in and is difficult to oppose as he bids for his fourth success in a row. Upped 13lb for winning at Listowel last week, the Noel Kelly-trained six-year-old will carry a 7lb winners penalty. His cause is further aided by the 7lb claim of Oran McGill. An easy winner at Killarney on his penultimate start, General Clermont is given second preference. He failed to make an impact when attempting to follow-up at Listowel last week and switching to fences now, an improved performance can be expected. Barbaha Queen has a good record at Clonmel and might be able to make an impact with Danny Mullins aboard. Downpatrick winner Padraic's Choice, admirable veteran Seskin Flyer and Ballinrobe runner-up Itsalonglongroad are others for the shortlist.

A dual winner over hurdles, CAVE COURT marked himself down as one to keep firmly on side when opening his chase account with plenty to spare at Listowel 6 days ago and, with his rider's claim off-setting his penalty, he can complete the 4-timer. Padraic's Choice cashed in off a basement mark on return at Downpatrick in August and a repeat gives him a shout. Itsalonglongroad should also be in the mix.

This should be at the mercy of CAVE COURT, who continued his good recent work back over fences last week at Listowel.

Al Kalila shaped well on his debut under Rules over C&D to finish third and may find normal progression to get involved. However, the one to side with is TOMMYS LAW, who was a 75,000 pounds purchase after his two runner-up efforts in point-to-points and he could be ready to strike at the first time of asking. Any market support for the son of Shirocco, Bogleyburn, should be respected.

TOMMYS LAW was picked up for £75,000 after finishing runner-up on both point starts and he's worth a chance to make a successful debut under Rules. His stablemate Backdoorflush makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and Al Kalila is an obvious player having finished third over C&D on debut a couple of months ago.

C&D third AL KALILA probably sets a fair standard of rules form and is taken to enhance Stuart Crawford's very good bumper record.

It was a weaker race in which All About Alice blitzed the field at Lingfield 29 days ago, but while she has also previously won over 1m3f on this circuit, a 5lb higher mark means she needs to register another personal best. With that in mind, HUSCARI appears worth chancing off 4lb lower than her only previous winning mark. Nicola Currie knows the filly well and the partnership can provide some value. The consistent Lord Torranaga and recent Lingfield winner Induro De Fontaine are also considered.

ALL ABOUT ALICE won in taking style at Lingfield 4 weeks ago and looks well at home on the AW so there is a good chance she can go in again. Huscari is feared, while Buganvillea and Cape Point might step up now handicapping at this low level.

The obvious candidate is Dylan Cunha's emphatic Lingfield scorer \bALL ABOUT ALICE\. She looks fairly treated from just a 5lb higher mark.

A taking winner over C&D on his penultimate start, ROGUE TORNADO has since run with credit over further, and he remains on a workable mark with Ross Coakley taking over in the saddle. He is narrowly preferred to Dashing Panther, who has done very well since upped to this distance and conditions look to be in his favour once more. Gift Of Raaj and Myboymax are capable of being in the shake-up too.

Having got off the mark at this C&D in July, ROGUE TORNADO bumped into one who is thriving when runner-up at Salisbury last time, so he is taken to resume winning ways back at this venue. Dashing Panther is respected having shown improved form upped to this trip in handicaps, with Myboymax completing the shortlist.

Tom Clover's ROGUE TORNADO might be the answer provided a sound surface isn't important to him.

John McConnell's DULEEK STREET was an emphatic winner of a maiden hurdle on soft ground at Cartmel last month, so has to be appealing off a mark of 56 as he reverts back to the Flat. In addition, Siobhan Rutledge takes 3lb off his back. Narlita just gets into this grade and has to be feared. She just lost out by the minimum margin over a shorter trip at Gowran Park in May. She stays this trip and is used to competing in higher classes of races. Katonah caught a tartar when second in Listowel after travelling well on the deep ground and should be in contention. Nusra will enjoy these conditions and arrives on the back of a victory in an apprentice handicap at Ffos Las last month.

DULEEK STREET arrives on the back of a ready hurdle success at Cartmel last month and there really ought to be a race in him off this sort of mark on the Flat. Katonah and Snowhaven arrive on the back of good runs in 3-y-o only events and are feared most ahead of ahead of the selection's stablemate St Cianans.

Having been denied a clear run at Listowel KATONAH did well to stay on for second over this trip in tesing ground and gets the vote

VICTORIA FALLS arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories having backed up her success on the July course at Thirsk last week. The four-year-old has to carry a 5lb penalty, but she may prove difficult to stop based on her current form. Ranger Thunderbolt shaped as though the return to a mile would aid his cause when runner-up at Newbury last time. Ventura Rascal, Restrict and Kimifive appeal most of the remainder.

RESTRICT resumed progress and was unfortunate not to win at Newbury a month ago, so he's a confident choice for all that this is quite a competitive event for the grade. The hat-trick seeking Victoria Falls is a threat along with Ranger Thunderbolt.

Recent Ayr runner-up VENTURA RASCAL is taken to go one better at a track that should suit his prominent style.

JET SETTING JIM might be able to reverse Listowel form with Noble Talent. The pair were second and fourth behind Chosen Templar at the Co Kerry venue last week, with the selection coming in for plenty of market support. Settled towards rear, the Jet Away gelding was probably given too much to do and while he made good late progress, he ultimately couldn't reel in the principals. Noble Talent didn't go unsupported at the Harvest festival and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better. Placed three times from three starts, Royal Hollow is another leading contender. She finished well ahead of Chosen Templar at Killarney on her most recent outing and with Adam Ryan claiming a valuable 7lb, she is sure to go close. Wisteria Bloom and Barton Snow both warrant respect, while newcomer Ebony Jade is an interesting contender with Patrick Mullins a significant jockey booking. The Kalanisi bay is a half-brother to Mias Storm, a classy eight-time winner in the UK.

ROYAL HOLLOW travelled with purpose again when runner-up at Killarney a month ago and this looks an ideal opportunity for her to open her account unless Ebony Jade proves to be an above-average newcomer. Wisteria Bloom is another player if tuned up back from a year off.

The mare ROYAL HOLLOW bumped into a smart prospect last time at Killarney and this looks easier.

A comfortable winner at Musselburgh on her penultimate start, it is no surprise to see ZAPHEA turned out quickly after she went down by just a head in her bid for back-to-back wins at Catterick on Saturday. Currently 4lb well-in, the daughter of Dandy Man is a must for consideration in this weaker race. Bella Camina is an interesting alternative from the bottom of the handicap, while Zola Power and Raft Up are others with solid place claims.

ZAPHEA matched the form of her breakthrough success at Musselburgh when finishing a sound second at Catterick 5 days ago and she looks sure to go well again in this groove. Zola Power rates the chief threat dropped back to the minimum trip ahead of Raft Up. Elliott demands a check in the betting on his handicap debut.

If the tactics are got spot on, and Raft Up and Zaphea don't settle any better, this nursery can be entrusted to ZOLA POWER.

An intriguing recruit to the Julie Camacho stable, MILBANKE ran with plenty of credit on his most recent start at Doncaster and, with previous form over C&D to call upon, the son of Intello can get back to winning ways. A taking winner over C&D on her penultimate outing, Emily Post commands attention along with Mersea, who has been in consistent form of late.

A tricky closing contest to solve but the vote goes to MILBANKE, who was narrowly beaten when fourth at Doncaster last month and, having moved to Julie Camacho since, he's one to be interested in from this mark with a valuable 3 lb claimer taking over in the plate. Emily Post has got her act together since the hood went on so she heads up the dangers, ahead of Mersea and the enigmatic Roundhay Park.

A trappy event but MERSEA ran creditably behind useful fillies over C&D last week and she could be the answer in a weaker race.

PJANOO scored on his penultimate start at Windsor before following that up with a solid fourth at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. This appears to be an excellent opportunity for Richard Spencer's colt to get his head back in front. His stable companion The City's Phantom will go well if able to replicate his third in a valuable handicap at Epsom in June, while a set of blinkers may see Promoter in a better light.

It may pay to narrow this year's Challenge Whip down to the pair of 3-y-os. PJANOO's last 2 efforts in Racing League handicaps look very solid form in the context of this race and he's preferred to Promoter who has been a little disappointing so far this year but is one who could react well to blinkers.

The 3yo PJANOO has been in fine form since the cheekpieces went on and this looks a good opportunity for him to return to winning ways.

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

While a mark of 73 is hardly insurmountable, MARIE LAVEAU sets the standard in this ordinary looking maiden and she is a strong fancy to carry to the famous colours of Kirsten Rausing to victory at this level. Being by Derby winner Sir Percy, her pedigree screams out for middle distances and she could be a different proposition having stayed on strongly near the finish over a mile at Chepstow last time. Barrel Aged and Sonnet Star are the pick of the rest.

Given how well MARIE LAVEAU settled in the hood over 1m at Chepstow last time she should have prospects of staying further (bred to) and she sets the standard here. It's a slight concern that Barrel Aged has been absent since his debut in January but he showed promise on that occasion and is feared most ahead of Sir Terrance Hadley, who was very green on his recent turf debut so could improve now.

Upped to a likely suitable trip, and proven already on Tapeta, MARIE LAVEAU probably ought to have the beating of Sonnet Star.

HASHTAGMETOO has looked like her time could be near for a while, and she put in another pleasing effort to hit the frame over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last week. The six-year-old ought to go very close once again. Owens Lad hasn't finished out of the top two in each of his last three outings, so he has to be respected off 2lb higher than his most recent second at Ffos Las. Of the remainder, Bay Of Naples and Timewave make the most appeal in an open contest.

TIMEWAVE can boast a course success and arrives on the back of a good clear Newcastle third last time out so can resume winning ways off the same mark here. Fellow course winner Owens Lad heads the list of dangers, although Hashtagmetoo, Sarkha and Roman Art all need factoring into this open handicap too.

Top of the list is ROMAN ART (nap), who was a clear third behind two next-time-out winners over C&D in first-time blinkers last month.

310,000-euro purchase RAQEEBB shaped well on his debut to finish fourth at Chelmsford and he would have learned a great deal from that first outing. The son of Wootton Bassett can take a step forward to shed his maiden tag at the second time of asking. Of the dangers, Smart Deal looks the most eye-catching after outrunning his huge odds on his first start on the level at Chelmsford and it would be no surprise to see him involved. Any market confidence behind Running Star would be of interest.

The market should reveal plenty here but it is still hard to side against SNIPER'S EYE who holds the clear edge on form and can gain a deserved breakthrough success. Both Smart Deal and Notability are less exposed and can have a say, while Roger Varian's newcomer Inspiritus and Chelmsford fourth Raqeebb need factoring in too.

This represents an ease in grade for SNIPER'S EYE and he can get off the mark at the fifth attempt. Raqeebb can chase him home.

WAR DEFENDER give his supporters a fright as he justified favouritism by only a nose at Musselburgh on his latest outing and he remains in the same grade. The six-year-old was put up 3lb for that display, so he is still well treated on his form from last year and he can record a double. Flying Panther did it well over a mile at Kempton earlier in the month and warrants respect, while Enola Grey isn't ruled out either.

TICKETS is down the weights/in grade and is likely to come on for his recent return from 5 months off at Kempton, so a chance is taken on him to get the better of recent Musselburgh scorer War Defender. Enola Grey is another one to consider in quite an open contest.

A chance is taken that FLYING PANTHER will handle the return to Tapeta as he's been in such good form since these aids were fitted.

Ardbraccan will have his supporters following a near-miss at Brighton, but she races off a 2lb higher mark on only her second all-weather outing tonight and could be vulnerable under top-weight. Al Tarfa has filled the runner-up berth in similar events at Lingfield on his last two starts but has gone up 1lb for those and may have to play second fiddle again, this time to ABRAVAGGIO. A dual winner in the summer, he looked crying out for a return to a mile when staying on for a close-up third off this mark over 7f at Lingfield earlier this month and that form has been boosted by the sixth winning since.

AL TARFA is in top form and looked ahead of his mark when second from a long way back at Lingfield last time, so he's preferred to Adrbraccan, who has dipped to a lenient mark and got back on track recently. Abravaggio is also considered.

Second to the same very progressive rival on his last two starts, AL TARFA still looks well handicapped after a recent 1lb rise.

The manner in which ELOPED ran away with a 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton last time suggests a 6lb rise may not be enough to halt her here, especially as the lightly-raced Hugo Palmer inmate has scope for further progress, and she is fancied to follow up. The main threat appears to be fellow double seeker Folk Star, whose 6lb hike for a narrow 1m3f victory at Kempton seems a little more harsh, while Turner Girl is another to consider after a short-head second at Lingfield off 2lb lower 12 days ago.

ELOPED quickened up best in a steadily-run race when opening her account at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and she narrowly shades the vote to come out on top ahead of fellow last-time-out scorer Folk Star. Paradise Row can emerge best of the remainder.

A tough finale with a multitude of overlapping form lines. The determined Kempton winner FOLK STAR is narrowly preferred to Eloped.

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.
