13:05 Naas Maiden 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (5/4 +33%) Miracle Beauty	1.25 5/4(+33%)	(8) Miracle Beauty 5/4, Promising type. 11/4, second of 12 in C&D maiden C&D (good to firm) on debut 24 days ago. May well do better. Last month's C&D debut second sets her up nicely for this.
4 2nd (4) (10/1 +38%) Cold Hearted	10 10/1(+38%)	(4) Cold Hearted 10/1, Thrice-raced filly. 9/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at this C&D (good to soft) 49 days ago, not knocked about. Promise of C&D debut hasn't been built on; questions to answer.
11 3rd (11) (66/1 -32%) Pickersgill	66 66/1(-32%)	(11) Pickersgill 66/1, Twice-raced filly. Fifteenth of 16 in maiden (14/1) at Galway (7f, good) 33 days ago, going off too hard. Trainer going well. Curragh debut run okay; far too keen at Galway and now drops in trip.
10 4th (10) (50/1 -52%) Never Not Lucky	50 50/1(-52%)	(10) Never Not Lucky 50/1, Once-raced filly. 28/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 24 days ago. Open to improvement. Never counted after awkward start on last month's C&D debut, lots to find.
6 5th (6) (28/1 +15%) Gold Daydream	28 28/1(+15%)	(6) Gold Daydream 28/1, Foaled March 20. €22,000 yearling, Golden Horde filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 1m winner Cecchini and 7f-8.3f winner Monaadhil. Yard's newcomers often run well so don't rule out.
9 6th (9) (3/1 -9%) Misappropriation	3 3/1(-9%)	(9) Misappropriation 3/1, Once-raced filly. Fourth of 12 in C&D maiden (good to firm) on debut 24 days ago, not knocked about. Should improve. Last month's C&D debut fourth has 2l to make up on Miracle Beauty.
12 7th (12) (12/1 -100%) Smiling	12 12/1(-100%)	(12) Smiling 12/1, 300,000 gns No Nay Never filly. Sister to 7f winner Souffionne. Dam, unraced, closely related to winner up to 1¼m (stayed 13f) Robin Hood and 1½m/12.5f winner Shada (both useful). Brightest Star possibly the first string on jockey bookings but the betting will provide more clues. 300,000gns No Nay Never filly; Ballydoyle newcomer for whom market likely best guide.
3 8th (3) (4/1 -60%) Brightest Star	4 4/1(-60%)	(3) Brightest Star 4/1, €400,000 No Nay Never filly. Half-sister to 5f-6f winner Morty and 2-y-o 7f winner Tiverton. Dam ungenuine 6f winner (including at 2 yrs) who stayed 1m. Makes obvious paper appeal. No Nay Never filly cost 400,000euros; one of two Ballydoyle newcomers, market best guide.
7 9th (7) (25/1 -79%) Got My Boogie On	25 25/1(-79%)	(7) Got My Boogie On 25/1, Foaled February 28. 45,000 gns yearling, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Nights Over Egypt. Blue Point filly likely all the better for the experience.
5 10th (5) (80/1 -142%) Fiamma	80 80/1(-142%)	(5) Fiamma 80/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixteenth of 21 in minor event at this C&D (good to soft, 100/1) 69 days ago, slowly away. Green both starts, including over C&D last time; may yet improve.
2 11th (2) (100/1 -203%) Boherna Vista	100 100/1(-203%)	(2) Boherna Vista 100/1, Once-raced filly. 40/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Navan (5f, good) on debut 22 days ago, not knocked about. Should progress. Some debut promise at Navan last month; better for that experience and longer trip to suit.
1 12th (1) (125/1 -25%) Ballyneety Girl	125 125/1(-25%)	(1) Ballyneety Girl 125/1, Foaled May 10. €3,000 foal, Phoenix of Spain filly. Half-sister to 1m-1½m winner Gold Fleece. Dam French maiden (stayed 1m), closely related to smart winner up to 1½m Ottoman Empire. Cheaply bought Phoenix Of Spain filly best watched on debut.

13:05 Naas Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MIRACLE BEAUTY had fellow newcomer Misappropriation two lengths back in fourth, with the slow starting Never Not Lucky seventh, when runner-up to Carla Ridge over C&D last month. The Joseph O'Brien-trained filly was putting in her best work at the finish and with the benefit of that outing may prove difficult to beat. Aidan O'Brien introduces two daughters of No Nay Never and riding arrangements suggest Brightest Star is preferred to Smiling. Cold Hearted would come into calculations if reproducing her debut third to Sparkling Sea and Fairy Godmother here in April but has disappointed on both outings since.

MIRACLE BEAUTY had Misappropriation 2 lengths behind in fourth when an encouraging second on her C&D debut last month and is taken to confirm her superiority over the Ger Lyons-trained filly. Aidan O'Brien newcomers Brightest Star, the mount of Wayne Lordan, and Smiling would also firmly enter the reckoning should the betting speak for them.

Previous experience could prove key here with recent C&D second MIRACLE BEAUTY preferred to the Ballydoyle debutantes

13:40 Naas Maiden 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (2/9 +11%) Bounty	0.222222 2/9(+11%)	(3) Bounty 2/9, 11/4, second of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago, clear of rest. Sure to improve for top yard. Can't oppose. Clear second on Curragh debut; big player given benefit of that run.
5 2nd (5) (12/1 -100%) Iceford	12 12/1(-100%)	(5) Iceford 12/1, Promising type. Fourth of 10 in maiden at Navan (5f, good, 12/1) on debut 22 days ago, not knocked about. Yard having good spell. Open to improvement. Promising Navan debut; above-average improvement expected upped in trip here.
9 3rd (9) (150/1 -127%) Tam Lin	150 150/1(-127%)	(9) Tam Lin 150/1, Once-raced gelding. 50/1, fifteenth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago. Never counted in Curragh mdn last month in which Bounty finished second; hard to fancy.
11 4th (11) (40/1 -60%) Ze Do Asfalto	40 40/1(-60%)	(11) Ze Do Asfalto 40/1, Foaled March 29. Ardad colt. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Debutant likely all the better for the experience.
4 5th (4) (200/1 -506%) Brigadier Kakuru	200 200/1(-506%)	(4) Brigadier Kakuru 200/1, Once-raced gelding. Seventh of 8 in maiden at Cork (5f, soft, 40/1) on debut 12 days ago, merely closing up late. Never counted after slow start on debut; hard to see him making the improvement required.
10 6th (10) (100/1 -52%) The Dark Baron	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) The Dark Baron 100/1, Twice-raced gelding. Tongue strap on for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 100/1) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Well held in Gowran/Curragh maidens, tongue-tied latest; cheekpieces added, Keane booked.
1 7th (1) (66/1 -32%) Baila Conmigo	66 66/1(-32%)	(1) Baila Conmigo 66/1, Once-raced gelding. Tenth of 14 in maiden (80/1) at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) on debut 14 days ago. Ran well for long way on Curragh debut; drop in trip could suit here.
8 8th (8) (4/1 +60%) Source Code	4 4/1(+60%)	(8) Source Code 4/1, Once-raced colt. Eleventh of 19 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to firm, 17/2) on debut 64 days ago. Open to progress. Never counted when well held on debut in decent Curragh maiden; improvement expected.
6 9th (6) (12/1 -20%) Ohmali	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Ohmali 12/1, Twice-raced colt. Ninth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 11/1) 15 days ago. Okay runs in maidens at Cork and the Curragh last month; eligible for a mark after this.
7 10th (7) (125/1 -150%) Send Harry	125 125/1(-150%)	(7) Send Harry 125/1, Foaled March 28. Harry Angel gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Bella Wella. Dam 1½m-13.3f winner out of smart 1¼m-1½m winner Briolette. Unlikely one to make an immediate impact.
2 11th (2) (200/1 -100%) Bandeja Sands	200 200/1(-100%)	(2) Bandeja Sands 200/1, Once-raced gelding. Last of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 200/1) on debut 14 days ago. Didn't count when last of 14 on recent Curragh debut; easily overlooked.

13:40 Naas Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BOUNTY is bred to be speedy being by No Nay Never out of Cheveley Park Stakes winner Rosdhu Queen and was prominent throughout when beating all bar Fregada on debut in an 18-runner maiden over this trip at the Curragh. Aidan O'Brien's juveniles usually progress from a run, and this looks a good opportunity to open his account. Ohmali showed early pace before dropping away into mid-division in that Curragh maiden, while Iceford and Source Code both indicated some ability on debut and should progress. Any market move for Ze Do Asfalto would be interesting.

BOUNTY made a promising start to his career when second at the Curragh last month and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to go one better. Iceford shaped nicely on his Navan debut and can follow the selection home ahead of Source Code.

In what appears a weak enough maiden recent Curragh second BOUNTY should go one better here

13:50 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (13/2 +68%) Zikany	6.5 13/2(+68%)	(9) Zikany 13/2, Fairly useful performer but has shaped as if still needing the run (second start back after 22 months off) when sixth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Took this in 2022 so he's very much one to consider. Won this race off 4lb higher in 2022; absent 666 days before two heavy defeats this term.
8 2nd (8) (10/1 +38%) Poncho	10 10/1(+38%)	(8) Poncho 10/1, A fair 2m winner over hurdles but below par of late in this sphere, fifth in handicap at Epsom (12f, soft) 31 days ago. More is needed back up in trip. Carries his head high and his four Flat efforts aren't that persuasive; stable runs four.
2 3rd (2) (15/2 +17%) Mark Of Gold	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(2) Mark Of Gold 15/2, Successful over C&D in May but he failed to beat a rival on his return at Epsom last month. Needs to get back on track. Failed to show much at Epsom two weeks ago but he did win over C&D on heavy last May.
4 4th (4) (5/1 +69%) Havaila	5 5/1(+69%)	(4) Havaila 5/1, Arrives out of sorts, last of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good) 27 days ago. Significantly back up in trip with work to do. Nearly off the mark on Flat over C&D (soft) in May but finished last on both starts since.
6 5th (6) (7/1 +50%) Hurtle Wallop	7 7/1(+50%)	(6) Hurtle Wallop 7/1, Unreliable type who was tried in cheekpieces when last of 6 in handicap at Haydock (14f, heavy) 16 days ago. Hood goes back on now but others are more persuasive. 0-8 but running creditably until cheekpieces replaced the hood last time; reverts to hood.
10 6th (10) (9/2 -29%) Judgementofsolomon	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(10) Judgementofsolomon 9/2, Looked on the up when bagging his second win this year at Pontefract in September and not seen to best effect given steady pace when third of 6 at Southwell (16.5f) 14 days ago. This thorough stayer remains one to be interested in. Out-and-out stayer; performance dipped on latest outing; player if bouncing back.
3 7th (3) (66/1 -230%) Royaume Uni	66 66/1(-230%)	(3) Royaume Uni 66/1, Fairly useful over hurdles but off the track since 2m4f landing Plumpton handicap in May. Ought to be a factor from this sort of mark back on the level. Unraced since a hurdles win in May 2023; looked a good-ground specialist in that sphere.
11 8th (11) (9/1 -29%) Far L'amore	9 9/1(-29%)	(11) Far L'amore 9/1, Still to register a victory but he cmes here in good order, second of 6 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, heavy) 30 days ago. In the mix with cheekpieces replacing blinkers. 0-8, with in-and-out form in handicaps on last four starts; 2m and heavy are both worries.
1 9th (1) (25/1 -233%) Zoran	25 25/1(-233%)	(1) Zoran 25/1, Versatile sort who resumed winning ways at Kempton in June. Beat only one at Ascot (2m) following month but he's the sort to bounce back. Ascot Class 3 proved much too tough in July latest; has run only once on soft (2020).
5 10th (5) (8/1 -14%) Gooloogong	8 8/1(-14%)	(5) Gooloogong 8/1, Comes here in decent nick, fourth of 13 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, soft) 22 days ago. Needs considering off an easing mark. Way down the weights; beaten about 5l over 1m6f on last two outings; some renewed hope.
7 11th (7) (9/1 -300%) Clever Relation	9 9/1(-300%)	(7) Clever Relation 9/1, Improved when third at Nottingham in May and cosily landed 6-runner seller here (11.2f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Remains fairly treated and is not taken lightly for yard among the winners. Won a seller here last time; more to prove at 2m but he may have turned a corner.

13:50 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

In what looks a competitive affair, JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON gets the tentative vote. He ran out a comfortable winner over 2m1f at Pontefract in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on his penultimate start and, despite a low-key effort over an extended 2m at Southwell latest, he gets the vote to return to winning ways now switched back to turf off 4lb higher than his last winning mark. Recent course winner (1m3f) Clever Relation looks a fascinating contender tackling a marathon trip for the first time, while Poncho is also noteworthy.

JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON wasn't seen to best effect when third in a steadily-run contest at Southwell last time and is fancied to bounce back in style given this stiffer test of stamina. 2022 victor Zikany could emerge as the main danger to Sir Mark Prescott's 3-y-o after a couple of runs under his belt, although Clever Relation and Gooloogong could also have a say.

Judgementofsolomon was not at his best last time. He is probably the one to beat otherwise but a chance is taken on HURTLE WALLOP.

14:00 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (11/1 -83%) Cruden	11 11/1(-83%)	(2) Cruden 11/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 11.5f), won maiden at Limerick in May, below form in handicaps since. However, no great surprise where he capable of making an impact now hurdling and interesting if the market spoke in his favour. Flat recruit rated 77, sole win came on heavy, poor efforts last three runs, best watched.
5 2nd (5) (9/1 -29%) Star Runner	9 9/1(-29%)	(5) Star Runner 9/1, Zoustar half brother to fairly useful hurdler Cozone (2½m winner). Fairly useful form on Flat (stays 1¼m), runner-up last 2 starts for Andrew Balding earlier this year and he's another to note in the betting now hurdling. Rated 77 on the Flat for Andrew Balding, new yard, related to hurdles winner, interesting.
8 3rd (8) (18/1 -13%) Janes Harbour	18 18/1(-13%)	(8) Janes Harbour 18/1, Promise when midfield only start in maiden on Flat and shaped as if in need of the experience when seventh of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Listowel (16f, good) on NH debut 21 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Should improve. Showed promise sole flat start, beaten a long way on hurdles debut, may need more time.
1 4th (1) (11/8 +21%) Action Plan	1.375 11/8(+21%)	(1) Action Plan 11/8, Fairly useful Flat winner who has made a solid start over hurdles, matching debut form in this sphere when third of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Listowel (16f, good) 21 days ago. Obvious claims. Flat recruit, placed in first two hurdles, ran well here on the level, leading claims.
4 5th (4) (13/2 -86%) Robbies Rock	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(4) Robbies Rock 13/2, Failed to justify strong support when third on hurdles debut at Killarney (17f) back in July but improved model on Flat since, opening his account at Navan (14f) prior to a good second at Listowel (12f) 3 weeks ago. Likely he can do better returned to this sphere. Flat recruit rated 77, third on his hurdles debut at Killarney, in good hands, chance.
3 6th (3) (3/1 +33%) Mick Collins	3 3/1(+33%)	(3) Mick Collins 3/1, Inns Of Court gelding. Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Winning Spark. Fairly useful form when in frame all 4 starts on Flat, fourth of 16 in maiden (4/1) at Navan (10.2f, good) 36 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time now hurdling. 0-4 on the Flat but promise all four starts, could go well if he can jump; tongue tied.
6 \|S\| (6) (8/1 +33%) Turn And Finish	8 8/1(+33%)	(6) Turn And Finish 8/1, Fair form only start on Flat and despite signs of greenness, offered something to work on when midfield in 13-runner juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe 4 weeks ago. Represents leading yard and he looks sure to do better. Didn't jump fluently on hurdles bow at Ballinrobe, top yard but may need more experience.

14:00 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ACTION PLAN can continue the fine recent form of the Gerard O'Leary stable. Just about the highest rated of these on the Flat, the Soldier's Call gelding has finished third on both starts over flights to date. Given his experience, Jack Kennedy is likely to make this a real test for the newcomers. Trainer Noel Meade does well with his juvenile hurdlers, so his debutant Mick Collins has to be of interest. Rated 79 on the level, the son of Inns Of Court is open to improvement after just the four career starts. Robbies Rock is another to consider, having shown improvement on the Flat since finishing third at Killarney on his only start over hurdles.

ACTION PLAN cemented the positive start made over hurdles when third in juvenile company at Listowel 3 weeks ago and he looks to hold sound claims of opening his account here. Robbies Rock and Turn And Finish are others to consider with improvement anticipated. Star Runner is one of the hurdling newcomers to note in the betting for clues.

ACTION PLAN has already proved he can jump, he was as good as any of these on the Flat and he can make his previous experience count.

14:10 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 4) 22f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (5/2 +9%) Smiling Getaway	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(2) Smiling Getaway 5/2, Winning Irish pointer who landed first 2 starts in mares' novice hurdles (on soft/heavy) last winter prior to finishing third in Grade 2 company. Disappointing in big field handicap on final start at Newbury in March but conditions look ideal on return/now chasing for a yard in fine form. Very lightly raced since Irish point win in 2021 but looks interesting on this chase debut.
3 2nd (3) (2/1 0%) Alfie's Princess	2 2/1(0%)	(3) Alfie's Princess 2/1, Point winner who landed first 2 starts in mares' novice hurdles last winter and ended the campaign with an excellent second in Grade 2 handicap at Newbury (20.5f) in March. Very much appeals as the type to make an even better chaser and shortlisted on return. Creditable second of 17 in Grade 2 mares' handicap hurdle in March; chase debut today.
5 3rd (5) (7/2 +65%) Lilting Verse	3.5 7/2(+65%)	(5) Lilting Verse 7/2, Listed bumper winner who opened her account over hurdles in mares' maiden at Ludlow (21.2f) last November. Exploits mixed in trio of starts thereafter but stable's runners rarely lack for fitness and she's one to note in the betting now chasing after 6 months off. Ended last season with two respectable runs in good-quality hurdles; chase debut today.
6 4th (6) (50/1 -213%) Fortunefavorsdbold	50 50/1(-213%)	(6) Fortunefavorsdbold 50/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland and left previous form for this yard well behind with a brace of handicap chase wins at Huntingdon/Lingfield. Appeared to go off the boil thereafter, last of 7 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (25.8f) in May. Needs to bounce back on return. Dual chase winner last season but was badly out of form when last seen in spring.
1 5th (1) (22/1 -193%) Eureka Creek	22 22/1(-193%)	(1) Eureka Creek 22/1, Winning hurdler/chaser who ran up to her best despite an indifferent round of jumping when runner-up behind Fortunefavorsdbold in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, heavy) in March. Remains just 1 lb above last winning mark and she's gone well fresh previously. Ran some good races in defeat last season and resumes on a workable mark; should go well.
4 6th (4) (11/1 -83%) Moviddy	11 11/1(-83%)	(4) Moviddy 11/1, Dual hurdles who showed improved form to finish placed on first 3 starts over fences last winter. Progress stalled thereafter, fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Ludlow (20f) when last seen in May. Conditions will hold no fears back from 5 months off. 0-5 over fences but has good claims if judged on last autumn's 2m4f form.
8 \|U\| (8) (7/1 +42%) Followango	7 7/1(+42%)	(8) Followango 7/1, Point/bumper winner who made the frame all 5 starts over hurdles during second half of last season, second of 7 in handicap at this course (20f) 6 months ago. Goes chasing after 6 months off in what could prove a warm enough contest and the betting can guide. Placed on all five hurdling starts; up in grade for chase debut; others look stronger.

14:10 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Innisfree Lass was a facile winner on her latest outing over 3m at Southwell last time and she makes appeal on her first chase start, but slight preference is for ALFIE'S PRINCESS. Sam Thomas' charge runs off the same mark as when second over timber at Newbury in March and on her first start over the larger obstacles, she can go one better. Smiling Getaway is next best.

ALFIE'S PRINCESS cemented the positive start she made to hurdles last season with an excellent second in a Grade 2 handicap at Newbury on her final start in March and, appealing as the type to make an even better chaser, she could be worth siding with on return. Fellow chase debutante Smiling Getaway for the red-hot Nigel Twiston-Davies stable is next best. Innisfree Lass and Moviddy are others to consider.

Top of the list is ALFIE'S PRINCESS, who was placed in a competitive Grade 2 handicap hurdle for mares at Newbury in the spring.

14:15 Naas Stakes 7f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
15 1st (15) (11/1 -10%) Fiona Maccoul	11 11/1(-10%)	(15) Fiona Maccoul 11/1, Twice-raced maiden. 6/5, third of 9 in maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft) 47 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly up in trip. Should improve. Finished well over 6f at the Curragh, found 5f too sharp at Bellewstown, suitable trip now.
9 2nd (9) (3/1 +75%) Bodhi Bear	3 3/1(+75%)	(9) Bodhi Bear 3/1, Once-raced maiden. 11/2, third of 14 in maiden at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 24 days ago. Others more persuasive. Showed promise over C&D on debut, makes some appeal as the least-exposed runner.
14 3rd (14) (28/1 -12%) Copacabana Sands	28 28/1(-12%)	(14) Copacabana Sands 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, eighth of 15 in maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Fair run at Down Royal on the second of three starts, unlikely to feature in this company.
12 4th (12) (16/1 +0%) Famed Again	16 16/1(+0%)	(12) Famed Again 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, respectable fourth of 15 in maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Has shown much-improved form on her last two starts, further progress required now.
5 5th (5) (10/1 -122%) Sigh No More	10 10/1(-122%)	(5) Sigh No More 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 80/1, 4¼ lengths seventh of 9 to Heavens Gate in Weld Park Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Shortlist material. Both wins were achieved on heavy ground, has found things too demanding at Group 3 level.
13 6th (13) (11/1 +8%) Red Scarlet	11 11/1(+8%)	(13) Red Scarlet 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/2, ½-length second of 14 to Saint Brandon in maiden at Down Royal (7.1f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Can make presence felt. Second to Saint Brandon at Down Royal, appears vulnerable in a race of this standard.
3 7th (3) (9/1 -29%) Iowntheball	9 9/1(-29%)	(3) Iowntheball 9/1, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 13-runner maiden (9/4) at Down Royal (7f, good), comfortably. Off 114 days. Should progress. Made a promising debut and confirmed ability with Down Royal win, merits respect.
8 8th (8) (18/1 -100%) Sugar Club	18 18/1(-100%)	(8) Sugar Club 18/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Bellewstown in July. Creditable fourth of 8 in nursery (4/1) at the Curragh (7f, good) 43 days ago, never nearer. Winner over 1m at Bellewstown, seemed to find this trip too short in a Navan nursery.
7 9th (7) (8/1 +0%) Saint Brandon	8 8/1(+0%)	(7) Saint Brandon 8/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 14-runner maiden (4/1) at Down Royal (7.1f, good to firm) 37 days ago by ½ length from Red Scarlet, cosily. Beat Red Scarlet in a maiden at Down Royal, others better suited by the race conditions.
16 10th (16) (16/1 +0%) Rion Rubette	16 16/1(+0%)	(16) Rion Rubette 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9½ lengths last of 7 to Rebel Diamond in listed race at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 28/1) 20 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Struggled in a Listed race, form of her second in a 6f maiden at this venue reads well.
6 11th (6) (66/1 -371%) Heishybrid	66 66/1(-371%)	(6) Heishybrid 66/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Leopardstown in August. Thirteenth of 16 in nursery at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 7/1) 14 days ago, finding little. Blinkers on 1st time, tongue strap on 1st time. Leopardstown winner over this trip, disappointing in a nursery last time, stiff task now.
1 12th (1) (14/1 +13%) William F Browne	14 14/1(+13%)	(1) William F Browne 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. 6/5, didn't need to be at best when winning 12-runner maiden claimer at this course (8f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Yard in good form. Blinkers on 1st time. Won a maiden claimer here last month, faces a much more demanding task now, blinkers on.
11 13th (11) (125/1 -793%) Actin Like A Diva	125 125/1(-793%)	(11) Actin Like A Diva 125/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Navan in September. 22¾ lengths last of 9 to Right And True in listed race at Dundalk (7f, 200/1) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Out of her depth in Listed races since 6f maiden win at Navan, others have stronger claims.
2 14th (2) (7/2 +0%) Dignam	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(2) Dignam 7/2, Fairly useful colt. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 31/10, 5¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Lazy Griff in Prix de Conde at Chantilly (9f, good) 22 days ago. Back down in trip. Not taken lightly. Tipperary maiden winner, down in trip and class after Group 3 run in France, good chance.
10 15th (10) (66/1 -313%) Gangsta Man	66 66/1(-313%)	(10) Gangsta Man 66/1, Fair gelding. Last of 9 in nursery at Cork (6f, soft, 4/1) 12 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. No shortage of experience, placed three times at a modest level, coughing last time.
4 16th (4) (80/1 -60%) Live Like The Boss	80 80/1(-60%)	(4) Live Like The Boss 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 15 in maiden (18/1) at Tipperary (7.4f, good to firm) 65 days ago. Uphill task. In a top stable but has done nothing to suggest she can feature in this company.

14:15 Naas Stakes 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand here and riding arrangements suggest DIGNAM is preferred to Sigh No More. The selection confirmed the promise of his initial two outings when landing the odds at Tipperary and now takes a drop in class and distance after weakening in the closing stages over 1m1f in a Group 3 at Chantilly. Sigh No More beat Saint Brandon in a Galway Festival maiden and followed up at Roscommon, while Bodhi Bear made a promising debut over C&D last month and should confirm places with Gangsta Man. Rion Rubette showed promise when runner-up to Rebel Diamond here over 6f but needs to bounce back after a disappointing effort at Fairyhouse, while Fiona Maccoul should appreciate this step up in trip.

SIGH NO MORE wasn't disgraced in a couple of Group 3s on her last 2 starts and should go well back in calmer waters. Her stablemate Dignam may emerge as the biggest threat, though both Iowntheball and Fiona Maccoul have potential.

Joseph O'Brien saddles the two highest-rated runners. Preference is for DIGNAM, dropped in class and trip after a run in France

Should be a player after his encouraging debut third of 12 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good).
1 1st (1) (8/11 +0%) Qetaifan	0.727273 8/11(+0%)	(1) Qetaifan 8/11, Stepped up on first 2 starts to get off the mark in decisive fashion in 6-runner novice at Chester (6.1f, heavy) 30 days ago and sets the standard under a penalty. Leading claims, especially as his odds-on Chester win (6f) was on heavy ground.
6 2nd (6) (10/3 +63%) Great	3.333333 10/3(+63%)	(6) Great 10/3, Foaled February 13. 10,000 gns foal, Twilight Son colt. Half-brother to useful Hong Kong multiple 1m winner Magnificent. Dam 1¼m winner. 10,000gns foal; Twilight Son half-brother to Hong Kong 1m winner Magnificent (RPR 97).

Likely to improve. No form claims after Sandown maiden (5f, soft) but badly hampered in the closing stages.
7 4th (7) (16/1 -191%) Just King High	16 16/1(-191%)	(7) Just King High 16/1, Kodiac gelding. Dam maiden (stayed 6f) half-sister to US 5f/7f winner Big Handsome and winner up to 6f Frenetic (by Kodiac) (both smart). 12/1 and tongue strap on, fourth of 10 in novice at Beverley (5f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Entitled to come on for that. 12-1 and tongue tied, always in touch when close fourth in novice at Beverley (5f, good).
4 5th (4) (9/1 +25%) Arabian Cobra	9 9/1(+25%)	(4) Arabian Cobra 9/1, Better for debut when going close in Windsor novice but yet to match that, down the field switched to nurseries last 2 starts. There are doubts whether he can live up to the Windsor form shown on second start.
2 6th (2) (14/1 +30%) Kosometsuke	14 14/1(+30%)	(2) Kosometsuke 14/1, Modest form when down the field in novices at Ascot and Kempton. 14-1 and 22-1 when showing modest form at Ascot (6f, soft) and Kempton (AW; raced wide).

14:25 Goodwood Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This looks a good opportunity for the progressive QETAIFAN to add another victory to his CV. Andrew Balding's charge impressed when fairly bolting up over 6f in testing ground at Chester last month and, with further improvement likely, he looks the one to side with under a penalty. Wicket Keeper shaped with plenty of promise when finishing third over this trip at Newbury on his debut last month and it would be no surprise if he were to emerge as the main danger to the selection, while Great looks an interesting newcomer on paper.

A good opportunity for QETAIFAN to defy a penalty in what looks an ordinary novice. Wicket Keeper offered something to work on when third at Newbury and is next best ahead of Hannon's newcomer Great.

Qetaifan sets the standard after his Chester win and that was on heavy ground but WICKET KEEPER and Just King High can improve.

14:35 Cork Maiden Hurdle 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
11 1st (11) (4/1 +60%) Thisistheway	4 4/1(+60%)	(11) Thisistheway 4/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who shaped as if better for the run after 5 months off when fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 7/2) on hurdles bow 17 days ago, not unduly punished. Very much the type to do better. Good run in a Graded bumper but opposable on latest effort at Listowel.
7 2nd (7) (9/1 +44%) Keep Kool Coko	9 9/1(+44%)	(7) Keep Kool Coko 9/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in bumper at Listowel (16f, soft, 6/1) 17 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Not beaten far into sixth in soft-ground Listowel bumper and that's something to build on.
8 3rd (8) (5/2 +62%) The Diddler	2.5 5/2(+62%)	(8) The Diddler 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 6/1, excellent second of 19 in bumper at Galway (16f, soft) 71 days ago, no match for winner. Likely has more to offer returned to this sphere. Third off 22 in a Punchestown 2m3f maiden hurdle and 2m was too sharp back in a bumper.
2 4th (2) (1/1 +56%) Arctic Gale	1 1/1(+56%)	(2) Arctic Gale 1/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 11/10, respectable second of 8 in novice hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) 46 days ago, an error at the last proving his undoing. Looks sure to be in the shake-up again. Beaten fav in three of his four maiden hurdles but he sets the standard.
9 5th (9) (33/1 +0%) True Light	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) True Light 33/1, Fair winner at 2m in bumpers for Willie Mullins earlier in career. Lightly raced and seemingly not the easiest to train, fifth of 16 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 39 days ago. Handicaps likely more her bag in this sphere. A winner for Willie Mullins but limited impact in three maidens for this yard.
4 6th (4) (150/1 -127%) Mister Persistence	150 150/1(-127%)	(4) Mister Persistence 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 18/1) on NH debut 17 days ago, racing off the pace and no threat from 3 out. Much more needed up in trip. Well beaten at Listowel and a line through winner gives him masses to find with Kish Bank.
10 7th (10) (200/1 -33%) Eugenious	200 200/1(-33%)	(10) Eugenious 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1, fourteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) on NH debut 17 days ago. Up in trip. 125-1 when always out the back in a maiden hurdle at Listowel.
5 8th (5) (80/1 +20%) Silent Selector	80 80/1(+20%)	(5) Silent Selector 80/1, Little impact both starts in maiden points and offered little starting out in this sphere when ninth of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. No more than minor promise in two points and was tailed off in his maiden hurdle.
3 9th (3) (22/1 -57%) Ardera Gun	22 22/1(-57%)	(3) Ardera Gun 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 11 in bumper at Killarney (17f, good, 12/1) 87 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Ability in bumpers and he's bred to improve for this longer trip now hurdling.

14:35 Cork Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Runner-up on three of his five starts over hurdles, ARCTIC GALE can make the breakthrough. A bumper winner at Fairyhouse last October, the Emmet Mullins-trained five-year-old has shown enough since going jumping to suggest he can win a race of this nature. A reproduction of his Galway run in particular would make him hard to beat in this company. Unbeaten point-to-point and bumper winner Kish Bank rates a serious threat. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding was an impressive winner of his sole start between the flags, while the form of his subsequent bumper win has worked out nicely. Lightly-raced mare The Diddler is another who should be involved having shown ability in her short career to date.

Successful on his only start in points, KISH BANK justified support when making a winning bumper debut at Punchestown back in December. He makes plenty of appeal now his attentions switch to timber and earns the vote. Arctic Gale has shown more than enough to think a race of this nature is within reach and he's the chief threat. Thisistheway and The Diddler are others warranting respect.

This will probably concern ARCTIC GALE and Kish Bank who are closely matched through one line of form.

1 2nd (1) (9/2 +72%) Andy Amo	4.5 9/2(+72%)	(1) Andy Amo 9/2, Fair form in bumpers and this longer trip promises to suit now hurdling after 6 months off. Beaten between 10l and 18l in his three bumpers, on heavy and soft ground; up in trip.
5 3rd (5) (6/1 +33%) Neo King	6 6/1(+33%)	(5) Neo King 6/1, Multiple point winner who ran to a fair level when second in a hunter chase at Down Royal (19.5f, soft) on NH debut in March. Changed hands for £20,000 in May ahead of this switch to hurdle. The betting should help guide to expectations. Won three Irish points and also runner-up in a hunter chase; bought for £20,000.
2 4th (2) (18/1 -50%) Babatunde	18 18/1(-50%)	(2) Babatunde 18/1, Purchased for £50,000 after finishing third in an Irish point in April. The betting should guide now hurdling. Bought for £50,000 after finishing second in a good-ground Irish point in April.
9 5th (9) (20/1 -100%) Small Town Hero	20 20/1(-100%)	(9) Small Town Hero 20/1, Point winner who failed to figure in an Aintree Grade 2 bumper in April but that was a tough assignment for his Rules debut and he retains potential now hurdling. Point winner; highly tried in sole bumper, finishing tailed off in a Grade 2.
6 6th (6) (250/1 -150%) Pennant Legacy	250 250/1(-150%)	(6) Pennant Legacy 250/1, Little show in a bumper/pair of novice hurdles and is set for another struggle. Limited promise in a bumper and two hurdles this year when kept to Worcester.
11 7th (11) (250/1 -150%) Prophet Squeeze	250 250/1(-150%)	(11) Prophet Squeeze 250/1, Fifth both completed starts in Irish points. 150/1 when pulled up in Worcester maiden hurdle for new yard last month. Low key in Irish points; 150-1 when pulled up on hurdle debut a month ago.
3 8th (3) (200/1 -100%) Jaunty Galaxy	200 200/1(-100%)	(3) Jaunty Galaxy 200/1, Sent off 40/1 and didn't show much in a Worcester bumper in June. Home-bred 5yo related to winners but was tailed off in an ordinary bumper at Worcester.
4 \|U\| (4) (40/1 -60%) Jay Bee Whiskey	40 40/1(-60%)	(4) Jay Bee Whiskey 40/1, Multiple point winner but could only manage sixth in a Stratford hunter chase on his Rules debut in May. Sports the tongue tie he wore regularly in the pointing field now hurdling. Mopped up in points before finishing sixth in a hunter chase; vulnerable on hurdle debut.
10 \|PU\| (10) (40/1 -150%) Magneticattraction	40 40/1(-150%)	(10) Magneticattraction 40/1, Cost £13,000 after winning the last of her 4 starts in Irish points (October 2023). It's taken a bit of time for new connections to get her to the track and a watching brief is advised unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Posted a modest RPR in winning her Irish point 12 months ago (on yielding).

14:45 Ffos Las Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

WICKED THOUGHTS has shown plenty of ability in his three starts under Rules to date and he can get off the mark at the first time of asking over obstacles on his seasonal reappearance. Plenty of improvement can be expected from Paul Nicholls' runner and he makes most appeal. Rosscahill appears to be an interesting recruit for the Nigel Twiston-Davies team after his point-to-point success last year and he is considered, while Neo King is fancied to follow them home.

Paul Nicholls bumper winner WICKED THOUGHTS gets the nod to make a successful start to his hurdle career, although a strong market move for Nigel Twiston-Davies Irish point winner Rosscahill would put a slightly different slant on things. Small Town Hero may prove best of the rest.

The two who stand out are WICKED THOUGHTS through his bumper form and Rosscahill on the promise of his point win.

Latest win at the Curragh in June. 12/1, good second of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good) 28 days ago. Others more persuasive up in class. Good form in competitive handicaps at the Curragh, this company may be too demanding.

14:50 Naas Listed 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SAKTI appears versatile in terms of ground conditions and gets the vote to add to a Dundalk maiden win this spring. The Ger Lyons-trained filly has performed with credit on all three outings since and her close up fourth in the Group 3 Snow Fairy Stakes at the Curragh last time has been advertised since. Azada has been lightly raced since a creditable reappearance behind Fallen Angel in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and she may have found an extended 1m1f too far at Gowran last month. Goldana seems best with cut in the ground and could prove the pick of Joseph O'Brien's five runners, although Princess Child has filled the runner-up spot on her latest three starts in Listed races.

SAKTI improved again when beaten under 2 lengths into fourth in a Curragh Group 2 6 weeks ago and might prove the answer to this listed race. Fellow 3-y-os Princess Child and Azada are feared most.

Though yet to score on turf, SAKTI (nap) is appealing on the strength of a Curragh fourth advertised by the placed horses in a Group 2

Interesting. Smart C&D form; still capable in good 6f handicaps but well beaten at Haydock latest.
2 2nd (2) (4/1 -20%) Wodao	4 4/1(-20%)	(2) Wodao 4/1, Listed winner in Ireland for Donnacha O'Brien but lost his way last season and just respectable efforts at best for this yard this term. However, was fourth in a better race than this at Ascot 9 days ago and is proven under testing conditions. Losing run goes back to 2yo days but good efforts on good to soft (C&D) and soft of late.
6 3rd (6) (3/1 -9%) Alcazan	3 3/1(-9%)	(6) Alcazan 3/1, Bagged handicaps at Ascot and Brighton during the summer and resumed winning ways with a career best at former course last week. Player if handling these conditions (unraced on going softer than good to soft). 2-3 over C&D and appreciated the soft ground when winning at Ascot last week; good chance.
1 4th (1) (17/2 +6%) Coachello	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(1) Coachello 17/2, Ex-Irish 6f/7f scorer but yet to build upon his encouraging debut for this yard at Royal Ascot. Will at least find this less competitive and conditions not a problem. Down weights and will be suited by the return to slow ground; not ruled out.
3 5th (3) (10/3 +0%) Baldomero	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(3) Baldomero 10/3, As good as ever when making all in 9-runner handicap at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft, 10/1) last month and not disgraced off revised mark at Ripon since. Won over C&D (off 3 lb lower) under similar conditions in the spring so should go well again. Helped by testing ground when winning over C&D and at Doncaster; not ruled out back here.
4 6th (4) (5/1 +17%) Spanish Star	5 5/1(+17%)	(4) Spanish Star 5/1, Four-time C&D winner, including this race in 2021 and 2022, but only sixth in this last season and further signs of decline this term. Won 2 of the last 3 runnings; lacks recent run but on a favourable mark now.

15:00 Goodwood Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BALDOMERO impressed when making virtually all in rain-softened ground over an extended 6f at Doncaster on his penultimate start and, after shaping like he was still in form when finishing sixth in a competitive Ripon sprint handicap latest, he gets the vote to return to winning ways with his sights lowered today. Alcazan looks the main danger to the selection despite being upped 6lb for her recent victory over the minimum trip at Ascot, while Wodao is also noteworthy easing in grade.

Claims can be made for all 6 but it could be worth chancing CHAIRMANOFTHEBOARD off a tempting mark. Wodao and Coachello are feared most dropping in class.

All things being equal, ALCAZAN (nap) has a good chance of improving her 2-3 record over C&D following an Ascot win on soft last week.

2 2nd (2) (6/4 +63%) Millforce	1.5 6/4(+63%)	(2) Millforce 6/4, Won 8-runner novice hurdle (15/2) at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) on NH debut 46 days ago. Likely to improve. 2m4f maiden winner; also won a point and today's 3m should be of benefit.
3 3rd (3) (9/4 +36%) Oscars Brother	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(3) Oscars Brother 9/4, Winner in hurdle at Limerick in March. Good second of 8 in minor event hurdle (6/1) at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 137 days ago. Claims. Proven stayer who ran his best race last time out; drier ground asks a question of him.
5 4th (5) (6/1 -20%) Mexican Moonshine	6 6/1(-20%)	(5) Mexican Moonshine 6/1, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. 13/2, won 16-runner novice hurdle at Roscommon (20.3f, soft) 13 days ago, driven out. Should progress. Dug deep to win her second start, a 2m4f maiden at Roscommon; more needed.
6 5th (6) (33/1 -313%) Mollys Kingdom	33 33/1(-313%)	(6) Mollys Kingdom 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Very good second of 12 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Gowran (20.2f, good) 8 days ago. Up in trip. Chased home a good one at Gowran last week but now 0-5 under rules.

15:10 Cork Novices Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

OSCARS BROTHER can credit former champion apprentice Connor King with a first winner in the training ranks. A thorough stayer, the six-year-old shaped well for his previous trainer when runner-up over this trip in January before opening his account next time at Limerick. Although softer ground would undoubtedly be preferable, the gelding was second on good ground in a point-to-point. Dual winner Femme Magnifique sets the standard off a handicap mark of 119. The Willie Mullins-trained mare made all when easily winning at Downpatrick in June. Point-to-point winner Millforce made a winning debut under rules for Gavin Cromwell at Bellewstown. The son of Workforce has to be respected for his in-form yard.

FEMME MAGNIFIQUE wasn't seen to best effect at Killarney last time and is worth another chance on these terms. Mexican Moonshine will be suited by this increase in trip so is feared most.

Preference is for MILLFORCE (nap) who did well to win over 2m4f at Bellewstown as 3m looks sure to be a better fit for him

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (8/1 +0%) Booster Bob	8 8/1(+0%)	(4) Booster Bob 8/1, Completed a hat-trick over hurdles in 2m novice at Sandown in December. Pulled up at Newcastle on his final run in March but still worthy of consideration on his first go in this sphere. Won first three hurdles; well beaten twice since but it's far too early to write him off.
7 2nd (7) (4/1 +38%) Just Over Land	4 4/1(+38%)	(7) Just Over Land 4/1, Consistent sort last season who got off the mark in 2m Lingfield handicap hurdle in February. Needs considering on his fencing bow. Ended last season in good form over hurdles; could easily have more to offer over fences.
2 3rd (2) (9/2 -157%) Asta La Pasta	4.5 9/2(-157%)	(2) Asta La Pasta 9/2, A three-time hurdles winner last season around 2m. Off 7 months but has won off a break so he's much respected on his chase debut for top yard. 3-6 as a novice hurdler last season and could have a good future over fences.
8 4th (8) (5/1 +55%) Idefix De Ciergues	5 5/1(+55%)	(8) Idefix De Ciergues 5/1, Remains winless over hurdles but this reliable sort posted a solid fourth of 14 in novice here (21.9f, good to soft) in May. Can make his presence felt over the larger obstacles now. 0-7 over hurdles but largely consistent last season; drops back in trip for chase debut.
6 5th (6) (18/1 +28%) Knockanore	18 18/1(+28%)	(6) Knockanore 18/1, A fairly useful winning hurdler but off the track since a below-form fourth at Newbury (20.5f, heavy) in March. Still commands respect starting out in this sphere. Off since below-par hurdle run in March but of interest if judged on last October's run.
5 6th (5) (8/1 +43%) Minella Blueway	8 8/1(+43%)	(5) Minella Blueway 8/1, Winning Irish pointer who got off the mark under Rules when easily landing Chepstow maiden (19.5f) in December. Ended the season with a very good handicap second here (3m) in April so must enter calculations on his chasing bow. Second in 3m handicap hurdle here in April; might find 2m too sharp on chase debut.
1 \|U\| (1) (4/1 -60%) Moveit Like Minnie	4 4/1(-60%)	(1) Moveit Like Minnie 4/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler around 2m and he cosily justified good support on his debut over fences at Stratford (17f, good) last month. Has more to offer up 6 lb so he's a player for yard among the winners. Returned to form with clearcut success on last month's chasing debut; must be considered.
3 \|PU\| (3) (8/1 -14%) Ito Ditto	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) Ito Ditto 8/1, Much improved last term and a three-time scorer, signing off witb 2m4f Lingfield handicap success. Very much one to consider now going over fences. Progressive over hurdles last season (three wins); enters calculations on chase debut.

15:20 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE got off the mark at the first attempt over larger obstacles when scoring at Stratford last month and he can put that experience to good use. Asta La Pasta had been progressing nicely last season over hurdles before struggling to land a blow in Grade 3 company, and he makes plenty of appeal, while Ito Ditto heads the remainder.

Nigel Twiston-Davies has his string in rude health at present so his MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE is taken to follow up his stylish debut Stratford success and go 2-2 over fences. Lots of these bring potential starting out chasing, notably Asta La Pasta and Ito Ditto and they can chase home the selection in that order. Just Over Land completes the shortlist.

There are some interesting prospects in this field but MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE has already made a very good start to his chasing career.

Creditable 8 lengths sixth of 15 to Beechwood in listed race (9/2) at Galway (12f, good) 33 days ago. More is required here though. Behind Belhaven and Andromeda latest, looks the yard's first string but needs more to win.

Good eighth of 22 in handicap (66/1) at Leopardstown (13f, good) 29 days ago. This is no easy ask though. Won a handicap off 84 at Killarney, no impact off revised mark, needs more upped in class.

Remains open to progress. Leopardstown maiden winner, came up short in the Irish Oaks, hard to assess, check market.

Latest win at Sligo in May. 14/1, creditable 7¼ lengths fourth of 15 to Beechwood in listed race at Galway (12f, good) 33 days ago, slowly away. Can make presence felt.

Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Listowel (12f, good to soft, 5/1) 20 days ago. Shortlisted. Won a handicap off 83 at Sligo in August, beaten 10.5l off 88 latest, this looks ambitious.

15:25 Naas Listed 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ROMZINA won a Cork maiden on her belated debut at Cork in August and had Belhaven, Andromeda, Galileo Dame and Snowcapped all behind when placed on her only subsequent start in the Listed Oyster Stakes at Galway. She ran quite freely on that occasion and hopefully the application of a hood will help her to settle a bit better. Caught U Looking has proved a model of consistency this year and possibly put up her best performance over this trip when fifth behind You Got To Me in the Irish Oaks, with Lope De Lilas about eight lengths behind. Siege Of Troy seemed to appreciate the step up to 1m4f when beaten less than two lengths in the Give Thanks Stakes at Cork.

Lots with chances. CAUGHT U LOOKING possesses the best form on show so is taken to gain a first win of 2024 at the chief expense of the consistent mare Belhaven. Romzina, Andromeda and Lope De Lilias appeal as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

Preference is for ROMZINA. She had a few of these behind at Galway, despite racing keenly, and there could be more to come in the hood.

3 1st (3) (10/3 +5%) Tactical Plan	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(3) Tactical Plan 10/3, Saw off Mayday Malone to gain a deserved first victory in maiden at Chester (7f, soft) last month and backed it up with a fine second in a heavy-ground nursery at Haydock. Should give another good account. In the frame in seven of eight starts, winning a Chester maiden from Mayday Malone.
7 2nd (7) (7/1 -56%) Emporess	7 7/1(-56%)	(7) Emporess 7/1, In good form in deep ground this month, winning at Bath (5.7f) and second at Leicester (6f). Remains to be seen whether 7f suits her quite so well. 1st and 2nd recently on heavy ground but there is more for her to prove over this new trip.
2 3rd (2) (8/1 -100%) Up The Pace	8 8/1(-100%)	(2) Up The Pace 8/1, Improved to make a winning nursery debut at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) last month. Respected up 5 lb. Co-fav for nursery at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) and improved to win quite comfortably.
5 4th (5) (3/1 +0%) Mayday Malone	3 3/1(+0%)	(5) Mayday Malone 3/1, Improved when 1¼ lengths second of 7 to reopposing Tactical Plan in maiden at Chester (7f, soft) 29 days ago. Potential for better again in nurseries with Oisin Murphy doing the steering. Second to Tactical Plan in a Chester maiden (7f, soft) on latest; 4lb better off today.
1 5th (1) (5/1 -11%) Megalithic	5 5/1(-11%)	(1) Megalithic 5/1, Placed in novice events. Made a very disappointing start to his nursery career at Chester in July but that was almost too bad to be true and no surprise were he to prove a different proposition 3 months on. Warm favourite on three of his four starts but still no win; gelded since and off 3 months.
6 6th (6) (17/2 +29%) Number	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(6) Number 17/2, Fair maiden. Not beaten far when fourth of 5 on 6f Ascot nursery debut in July and this easier than the big-field York Ebor nursery he ran in last time. Tackles 7f for the first time. This race is nothing like so hot as his latest but others are still preferred.
4 7th (4) (13/2 +54%) Louie The Legend	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(4) Louie The Legend 13/2, Won a 16-runner maiden at Chepstow (7f, good) in August but not in the same form when fifth of 7 in a heavy-ground nursery at Newmarket since. Likely to face testing ground again here. Won 7f Chepstow maiden; first backward step on nursery debut at Newmarket (1m, soft).

15:35 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Having justified strong market support on his nursery bow at Salisbury last month, UP THE PACE looks capable of following up. A 5lb rise in the ratings is far from insurmountable for the Sands Of Mali colt and he's taken to fend off the threat of Tactical Plan. Ed Dunlop's gelding arrives on the back of a solid second at Haydock and another prominent showing is forecast off just a 2lb higher mark. Emporess can chase the pair home.

MAYDAY MALONE has the assistance of Oisin Murphy for this nursery debut and is taken to turn the tables on his Chester conqueror Tactical Plan. Magalithic could also have a say if the betting suggests he's expected to leave a disappointing nursery debut run behind after a break.

Up The Pace is second choice but the improving MAYDAY MALONE may emerge on top, reversing Chester placings with Tactical Plan.

3 2nd (3) (9/1 -50%) Sea Road Fill	9 9/1(-50%)	(3) Sea Road Fill 9/1, Modest chaser. 28/1, fourth of 5 in minor event chase at Sligo (21.1f, good) 11 days ago. Well beaten behind Someone's Wish at Downpatrick but did run better at Sligo.
5 3rd (5) (3/1 -50%) Someone's Wish	3 3/1(-50%)	(5) Someone's Wish 3/1, Fair chaser. 11/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good) 15 days ago. Switches from Flat to chase. Career best when winning on last chase outing. Open to progress. Already a winning chaser; he's limited but only a 4yo and this looks winnable.
2 4th (2) (5/2 +0%) Noble Talent	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(2) Noble Talent 5/2, Promising sort. Fair winner at 21f over hurdles. 10/1, second of 8 in novice chase at Sligo (21.1f, good) on debut over fences 11 days ago. Likely to improve. Chase debut and sole hurdle success came over 2m5f; this trip might test him.

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 7/1, bit below form third of 10 in novice chase at Killarney (23.4f, soft) 7 days ago. Back down in trip. Maiden hurdle winner; 2m7f on yielding looked a stretch on return to fences at Killarney.

15:45 Cork Maiden Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The only previous winner over fences in the race, SOMEONE'S WISH can maintain his unbeaten chasing record. Gordon Elliott's four-year-old stayed on strongly under Jack Kennedy when opening his account at the first time of asking at Downpatrick last month. Following a recent spin on the Flat in the student derby, the gelding should be primed for this assignment. Noble Talent ran a big race when runner-up on his chasing debut at Sligo recently. Sure to be all the better for that experience, the one concern is that he drops back nearly half a mile in trip here. Chasing debutant Ah Remy Martin was just about the best of these over hurdles. If he takes to the larger obstacles, the Thomas Gibney-trained gelding should go very close.

NOBLE TALENT offered something to work on sent chasing after 5 months off when second at Sligo and this looks a good opportunity to go one better on these terms. Someone's Wish showcased his versatility when making a winning chase bow at Downpatrick and is feared most.

He's the one lacking chasing experience but AH REMY MARTIN is bred for fences and he was as good as any of these over hurdles.

His opening handicap mark looks workable and big player if fully primed after 6 months off. Grade 2 novice winner in February; could have improvement to come in handicaps this term.
2 2nd (2) (7/2 +0%) Steel Ally	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(2) Steel Ally 7/2, Won a soft-ground novice hurdle at Wincanton in February and shaped well when placed in 2m handicaps at Newbury and Sandown in March. One of 2 leading contenders in this for the stable and it'll be interesting to see which one the betting prefers. Made most when third of 20 in hot novice handicap at Sandown at end of last season.
9 3rd (9) (14/1 -27%) Black Hawk Eagle	14 14/1(-27%)	(9) Black Hawk Eagle 14/1, Fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner for Noel Meade who has made a good start to life in Britain, winning 2m handicaps at Wincanton and Hereford last winter. Very disappointing in the Morebattle at Kelso on final start but no surprise to see him resume his progression this season. Off since disappointing run in March but won his previous two races; a player if on song.
6 4th (6) (20/1 -67%) Issam	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) Issam 20/1, Consistent sort who scored in the mud at Exeter (18.5f) and Wincanton (2½m) last season. Speedy enough to cope with the shorter trip and has gone well fresh before. Ended last season with 2m4f win in first-time cheekpieces; return to 2m not sure to suit.
3 5th (3) (6/1 -71%) Go Dante	6 6/1(-71%)	(3) Go Dante 6/1, Had Jipcot behind in third when landing the Imperial Cup at Sandown in March. Ended the season with a creditable fifth of 19 at the Aintree Grand National meeting. Should be in the shake-up if ready to roll after his summer break. Two wins last season, the latter in Imperial Cup in Sandown; further progress is possible.
1 6th (1) (12/1 -71%) Pembroke	12 12/1(-71%)	(1) Pembroke 12/1, Useful novice chaser last season. Similar standard over hurdles in 2022/23 and returns to the smaller obstacles after a 6-month break. Useful novice chaser last season; now back hurdling off a lower mark; one to consider.
8 7th (8) (17/2 -113%) Jipcot	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(8) Jipcot 17/2, Took time to click in Britain but won 2m Huntingdon handicap hurdle in March. Impressed with how he travelled when third of 16 in Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, soft) later that month (final start for Ben Pauling). Could have his name on a good handicap this term. Due to run 3.20 Chepstow Saturday. Placed in Imperial Cup at Sandown in March; of significant interest on stable debut.
5 8th (5) (28/1 -27%) Fiveonefive	28 28/1(-27%)	(5) Fiveonefive 28/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17f, good to soft) in June. Not so good in a Galway handicap next time but he didn't run too badly on the Flat at Listowel last month. Yard won this in 2022 Placed in this last year and good winner at Cartmel in June but others have more potential.
7 9th (7) (125/1 -279%) Carbon King	125 125/1(-279%)	(7) Carbon King 125/1, Three-time winner over hurdles in Ireland. Also scored over fences here last December but that was a standout effort in his first season with this yard. Others are more compelling. Won 2m4f chase by 14l on latest start in April; back hurdling in much stronger race.
10 10th (10) (40/1 -82%) Wewillgowithplanb	40 40/1(-82%)	(10) Wewillgowithplanb 40/1, Hurdle winner in Ireland who struck twice over fences for Richard Bandey, latterly at Leicester (2m, heavy) in February. Reverts to hurdles for new yard after a £20,000 sale in May. Easily won three-runner chase in February; has much more on his plate on stable debut.

15:55 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Sam Thomas has two interesting representatives in the Dovecote winner Lump Sum and STEEL ALLY, with preference for the latter. The six-year-old posted a solid third in the Novices' Championship Final at Sandown in April and he looks just the type to keep improving. Pembroke's novice chase campaign last season didn't end up as forecast, but he shouldn't be underestimated operating off a lower mark over hurdles.

Sam Thomas holds a strong hand, with LUMP SUM and Steel Ally appealing as types who can kick on again in handicaps on the back of promising novice hurdle campaigns last season. The former gets the vote with Dylan Johnston taking 5 lb off but it will be very interesting to see how the betting splits them. Imperial Cup winner Go Dante merits respect, while Jipcot would also enter the reckoning if showing up after/instead of Chepstow on Saturday.

The pick is STEEL ALLY (nap), who ran a big race from the front when third in a very competitive novice handicap at Sandown in April.

16:00 Naas Handicap 16f - 20 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (4/1 +60%) Comfort Zone	4 4/1(+60%)	(8) Comfort Zone 4/1, Blinkered for 1st time, respectable seventh of 30 in handicap (16/1) at the Curragh (16.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Not taken lightly. Good effort in the Irish Cesarewitch in blinkers (retained), 2lb lower, ground ok, chance.
13 2nd (13) (9/1 +36%) Toll Stone	9 9/1(+36%)	(13) Toll Stone 9/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner. Similar form on Flat, successful at Galway (14f) in August and he caught the eye when fourth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, heavy) 51 days ago, nearest finish. Unexposed granted this sort of test and he's worth considering. Dual-purpose; won off 74 at Galway in August, stayed on over 1m4f latest, cant discount.
15 3rd (15) (15/2 +53%) Jabbar	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(15) Jabbar 15/2, Built up a good strike on the Flat and made perfect start to his hurdling career when winning 9-runner novice hurdle at Galway (16.6f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Highly likely to give another good account back on the level. Won a maiden hurdle earlier this week, ground versatile, interesting for in form yard.
1 4th (1) (33/1 -32%) Falcon Eight	33 33/1(-32%)	(1) Falcon Eight 33/1, Runner-up in Irish Cesarewitch prior to landing Curragh Group 3 last autumn. However, his exploits have been mixed this time around, below best when midfield in first-named race 2 weeks ago. Tough to assess at present. Second in last year's Irish Cesarewitch off 104, 3lb lower now and 10lb claimer on, chance.
7 5th (7) (20/1 -100%) Vera Verto	20 20/1(-100%)	(7) Vera Verto 20/1, Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, soft, 7/2) 29 days ago, plugging on from 2f out. Handicapper has given her a chance ahead of this. Was 9l behind Mr Escobar at Chester; 2lb lower now but never won over this far on the Flat.
6 6th (6) (14/1 -100%) Mr Escobar	14 14/1(-100%)	(6) Mr Escobar 14/1, Not the most reliable but he ran a cracker from out of the weights when second at Chester (15.9f) last month and followed that with a good second of 16 in novice hurdle at Listowel (18f, soft, 7/4) 16 days ago. Capable of playing a part returned to this sphere. Fine effort on last Flat start at Chester, 3lb higher now, top yard but this a big ask.
3 7th (3) (8/1 +0%) Portland	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Portland 8/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in June. 3 lengths third of 4 to Ancient Wisdom in Bahrain Trophy (11/2) at Newmarket (13f, good to soft). Off 94 days. Up in trip. Yard in good form. Closely matched with Chemistry, third in a Gr 3 latest, 2m trip a worry, others preferred.
18 8th (18) (12/1 +14%) Man O Work	12 12/1(+14%)	(18) Man O Work 12/1, Useful winner at 2m over hurdles. Lightly raced maiden on the Flat who wasn't at best when tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 16 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Still, he boasts a low-mileage profile in this sphere and he could yet have more to offer. Dual-purpose, 2lb wrong but top claimer booked, shaped well last Flat start, could go well.
5 9th (5) (10/1 +0%) Seddon	10 10/1(+0%)	(5) Seddon 10/1, Smart winner at 21f in chases who arrives having landed each of his last 2 starts on the Flat, latterly 12-runner minor event at Listowel (14f) 16 days ago. Needs respecting making his handicap debut in this sphere with Keane booked. On a hat-trick after wins at Listowel and Killarney, handicap bow, Keane up, could go well.
10 10th (10) (40/1 -100%) Lord Erskine	40 40/1(-100%)	(10) Lord Erskine 40/1, 14/1, good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 16 days ago. Not disgraced when fifth at Tramore (16.4f) when last seen in this sphere in August and another who has been afforded a chance by the assessor. Dual-purpose, seven-time flat winner, fine effort at Galway off 2lb higher, outrun odds.
9 11th (9) (50/1 -400%) Reina Del Mar	50 50/1(-400%)	(9) Reina Del Mar 50/1, 5/2, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Bellewstown (17.5f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Others more persuasive. All three wins at 1m4f, beaten favourite over 17.5f at Ballinrobe latest, others preferred.
19 12th (19) (8/1 +43%) Ephesus	8 8/1(+43%)	(19) Ephesus 8/1, Lightly-raced winner. Creditable seventh of 13 in handicap at Galway (12.4f, good to soft, 4/1) 76 days ago. Significant step up trip needs to unlock further progress. Beaten 4.25l off 87 at Galway, 5lb wrong but 5lb claimer booked, unproven at 2m.
12 13th (12) (9/1 +10%) Pinot Gris	9 9/1(+10%)	(12) Pinot Gris 9/1, Good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 9/4) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces/tongue tie again applied here and he remains unexposed at this sort of trip. Dual-purpose, in form over hurdles, beaten 7.5l latest Flat start, may be on a tough mark.
17 14th (17) (33/1 -65%) Harry's Legacy	33 33/1(-65%)	(17) Harry's Legacy 33/1, Shaped as if retaining ability after 17 months off when creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Dundalk (12f) 23 days ago. That ought to have taken the freshness out of him if he doesn't find this coming too quickly. 5lb lower than when fifth in this in 2022, 2lb wrong, 3lb claimer booked, each-way chance.
2 15th (2) (7/1 -133%) Chemistry	7 7/1(-133%)	(2) Chemistry 7/1, Lightly raced, improving stayer who landed maiden/listed contests prior to a very good second of 22 in handicap (3/1) at Leopardstown (13f, good) 29 days ago, no match for his stablemate but well clear of the remainder. Big shout up further in trip with prospect of more to come. Unexposed 3yo, drawn wide, up 6lb for 4l second in the Petingo, not discounted.
11 16th (11) (22/1 -10%) Nostra Casa	22 22/1(-10%)	(11) Nostra Casa 22/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (11/1) at Tramore (16.4f, good to soft) 57 days ago, staying on well. Respected with a repeat for all this rates tougher. Fine win at Tramore latest, personal best needed off career high mark, can't discount.
20 17th (20) (125/1 -89%) Rain	125 125/1(-89%)	(20) Rain 125/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Listowel (14.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. More needed back up in grade. 1-22 on turf, beaten off 69 on latest, 12lb wrong, this looks too big an ask.
16 18th (16) (125/1 -150%) Rich Belief	125 125/1(-150%)	(16) Rich Belief 125/1, Latest win at Chester in June. 25/1, seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (24f, good) 8 days ago. Present mark demands more returned to this sphere. Won off 76 at Chester in June, blinkers return but he may need respite from the assessor.
4 19th (4) (80/1 -400%) Prairie Dancer	80 80/1(-400%)	(4) Prairie Dancer 80/1, Won this race from a 9 lb lower mark 12 months ago and added to his tally over fences at Downpatrick (19.5f) in August. However, he was never in the hunt when well held in Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh 2 weeks ago. Won this race last year, 8lb higher now, others look better treated.
14 20th (14) (150/1 -200%) Mt Leinster	150 150/1(-200%)	(14) Mt Leinster 150/1, Tailed-off last of 11 to Nostra Casa in handicap (40/1) at Tramore (16.4f, good to soft) 57 days ago 9reportedly bled). Cheekpieces back on. Others make much greater appeal. Not a bad run at Galway, burst blood vessels latest, yard has better chance with Seddon.

16:00 Naas Handicap 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

COMFORT ZONE won three times in juvenile hurdles and while without a victory in nearly two years, has given cause for optimism. The dual-purpose gelding beat all bar Satin in the Petingo Handicap at Leopardstown on his only Flat start last year and ran a cracker in another valuable handicap this summer when third to The Wallpark in a 2m6f hurdle at the Galway Festival. He had a couple of these behind when a creditable seventh last time in the Irish Cesarewitch. Chemistry is an obvious threat having beaten all bar stablemate Fighter in this year's renewal of the Petingo, while Pinot Gris, Man O Work and Jabbar are others for the shortlist.

Unsurprisingly plenty hold claims but useful hurdler MAN O WORK leaves the impression he has a bigger effort in his locker in this sphere and he's given the narrow vote to prove his mark a workable one. Chemistry is an upwardly mobile 3-y-o who needs considering along with Toll Stone. Admirable veteran Seddon and Mr Escobar are others making each-way appeal.

A chance is taken on JABBAR. He shaped with promise off this mark on his last Flat start, he's ground versatile and he is in form.

16:10 Goodwood Stakes (Class 4) 9f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (4/9 +22%) Castle Gates	0.444444 4/9(+22%)	(2) Castle Gates 4/9, Farhh colt who built on his promising debut effort when second of 12 in novice at Bath (8f, soft) 12 days ago, sticking to his task well when headed. This longer trip looks sure to suit on that evidence and big shout with further progress anticipated. Front-running second at Bath (1m, heavy) is far and away the best form in this field.
1 2nd (1) (5/1 +0%) Ashdown Forest	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Ashdown Forest 5/1, Foaled March 6. €75,000 foal, 210,000 gns yearling, Camelot colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 7f Lexington Times. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to winner up to 8.5f Green Line. Interesting newcomer. 210,000gns yearling; eighth foal; Camelot half-brother to two winners. one useful.
6 3rd (6) (15/2 -7%) The Pouncing Lion	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(6) The Pouncing Lion 15/2, Foaled April 25. 92,000 gns foal, 140,000 gns yearling, Ghaiyyath colt. Half-brother to 6f-1m winner North East Star and winner up to 1m Circe. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class 9f-1½m winner Prince Bishop. Interesting newcomer. 140,000gns yearling by Ghaiyyath; dam half-sister to high-class Prince Bishop; late foal.
7 4th (7) (80/1 -60%) Girls Night Out	80 80/1(-60%)	(7) Girls Night Out 80/1, Mayson filly who has offered little both starts to date, last of 6 in novice at Chelmsford (1m) 10 days ago. Can only be watched. Low-level form in maiden at Bath (1m, good) and novice at Chelmsford (1m, AW).
3 5th (3) (9/1 -64%) Karthon	9 9/1(-64%)	(3) Karthon 9/1, Foaled March 30. New Bay gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1¼m Berlin Tango, useful 11.6f-1¾m winner Fairbanks. Makes appeal on paper and he commands a market check for clues on debut. Ninth foal; New Bay half-brother to four winners with RPRs over 100; newcomer to note.
4 6th (4) (80/1 +20%) Love You Back	80 80/1(+20%)	(4) Love You Back 80/1, Galiway colt. Very easy to back and he went with no short-term promise when last of 11 in maiden at Sandown (8f, good) on debut 25 days ago. Looks one for the longer term on that evidence. 66-1, weakened to finish a remote last of 11 in maiden at Sandown (1m, good) 25 days ago.
5 7th (5) (33/1 -136%) Nelson Gate	33 33/1(-136%)	(5) Nelson Gate 33/1, Australia colt who showed a bit when amidst greenness when fourth of 6 in maiden at this course (9.9f, heavy, 25/1) on debut 18 days ago. Likely to improve but handicaps could well be more his bag in due course. 25-1 for maiden here (1m2f, heavy) and showed promise in 4th of six but it was modest form.

16:10 Goodwood Stakes (Class 4) 9f Race Class Flow

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

CASTLE GATES found only the unbeaten Hopewell Rock too strong in testing conditions at Bath 12 days ago and he's likely to prove a warm order. The Godolphin-owned colt should relish today's similar ground conditions and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. Karthon, a half-brother to Group 3 all-weather winner Berlin Tango, is a potential fly in the ointment on his opening bid. Andrew Balding's juvenile is feared most, ahead of fellow newcomer Ashdown Forest.

CASTLE GATES confirmed the promise of his debut effort when runner-up in a Bath novice (1m) 12 days ago and, with this increase in trip firmly in his favour on that evidence, he makes plenty of appeal in his bid to go one place better. Ashdown Forest and The Pouncing Lion are a pair of newcomers to note also.

Bath runner-up CASTLE GATES is clearly well capable of winning a maiden on heavy ground but the newcomers need a close look.

16:20 Cork Handicap Chase 18f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (11/4 -129%) The Banger Doyle	2.75 11/4(-129%)	(1) The Banger Doyle 11/4, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Punchestown in June. Good second of 11 in handicap chase at Listowel (17.7f, good, 15/2) 21 days ago, conceding first run. Looks the one to beat. Back over fences he was a rallying second off just 3lb lower at Listowel; chance.
5 2nd (5) (11/2 +66%) Calico	5.5 11/2(+66%)	(5) Calico 11/2, Fourth of 5 in minor event hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft, 16/1) 9 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Makes handicap chase debut. Has a bit to prove. Faced tough enough tasks the last twice (non handicaps) and this mark is okay.
6 3rd (6) (7/2 +30%) Mr Saxobeat	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(6) Mr Saxobeat 7/2, 17/2, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Listowel (17.7f, good) 21 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again. Behind The Banger Doyle over this far at Listowel and he wants further than this.
4 4th (4) (8/1 +0%) Grange Walk	8 8/1(+0%)	(4) Grange Walk 8/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (24f, good, 22/1) 8 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back down in trip. Dropped to a handy mark. Exposed but on a dangerous mark should he turn things around back over fences.
3 \|F\| (3) (11/2 -57%) Dollar Value	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(3) Dollar Value 11/2, Temperamental sort. 5/4, shaped as if still in form when fourth of 12 in claiming hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good) 46 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Expected to be bang there. Two years since he ran over fences but he's been running well over hurdles this year.
2 \|U\| (2) (10/3 +44%) Senecia	3.333333 10/3(+44%)	(2) Senecia 10/3, 22/1, 19¼ lengths fourth of 5 to Daddy Long Legs in Horse & Jockey Hotel Hurdle at Tipperary (16.2f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Well handicapped on best form in this sphere but others make more appeal. Unseated in his latest chase and well below best in two hurdle starts either side of that.

16:20 Cork Handicap Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Despite a tendency to misbehave at the start, DOLLAR VALUE is a tough, admirable performer on a going day. Trainer Tom McCourt has his dual purpose string in excellent form right now and the nine-year-old is a hard horse to peg back if getting an easy lead. A galloping flat track such as this one should really play to his strengths. Grange Walk has to be a contender on his return to fences. A decent handicapper at his best, the John Patrick Ryan-trained gelding can sometimes make mistakes at critical points in a race. Granted an error-free round, the nine-year-old has every chance. Top-weight The Banger Doyle shouldn't be far away having finished runner-up at Listowel last month.

THE BANGER DOYLE arrives in form, which can't be said for most of his rivals, and he looks the most solid choice here. Dollar Value is considered despite his quirks and Mr Saxobeat

The Banger Doyle is solid but a chance is taken on CALICO who may have more to offer over fences.

3 1st (3) (7/2 -27%) I'm On My Way	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(3) I'm On My Way 7/2, Progressive sort who has won both her completed starts in handicaps, responding well at Southwell (3m) on latter occasion 6 months ago. Stable is going very well so she's a player on her seasonal return. Game winner at Southwell in March and now 2-3 in handicaps; Harry Cobden booked again.
12 2nd (12) (4/1 +67%) Getaway With You	4 4/1(+67%)	(12) Getaway With You 4/1, Proved hit and miss for Paul Webber but has started out well for his curent yard, sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to firm) in June. Warrants respect. 0-11 over hurdles but ran well in defeat on stable debut in May (2m4f); up in trip today.
4 3rd (4) (14/1 +0%) Jetaway To Getaway	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Jetaway To Getaway 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who beat only one on his handicap debut at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Significantly up in trip with cheekpieces added now. Could still do better, especially if market vibes are positive. Well beaten over 2m on last month's handicap debut; may fare better over this trip.
10 4th (10) (12/1 -71%) Lady Harriett	12 12/1(-71%)	(10) Lady Harriett 12/1, A fair maiden hurdler but she beat only one in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, good) 19 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Flopped badly last time but her Cartmel second two starts ago makes her of strong interest.
9 5th (9) (5/1 +29%) Blackacre	5 5/1(+29%)	(9) Blackacre 5/1, Remains a maiden but he recorded a creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft) when last seen out in May. Not ruled out after a break. 0-7 over hurdles but was placed off today's mark over C&D on latest outing in May.
14 6th (14) (25/1 +24%) Pour Une Raison	25 25/1(+24%)	(14) Pour Une Raison 25/1, On a long losing run but he wasn't disgraced on his first run since leaving Richard Mitchell when sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, good) 19 days ago. 4 lb "wrong" in the weights here though. Shaped fairly well when sixth on recent stable debut; might come on for the run.
8 7th (8) (8/1 -7%) Gavin	8 8/1(-7%)	(8) Gavin 8/1, Course winner who posted a good third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (18.6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Much respected with hood back on. Arrested decline when third at Market Rasen (2m2f) last month; unraced beyond 2m4f.
7 8th (7) (50/1 -25%) Tip Top Tonto	50 50/1(-25%)	(7) Tip Top Tonto 50/1, A fair 2m4f hurdles winner at his best but he offered little both runs this summer for John & Rhys Flint. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence. Won in the spring but last two runs were very disappointing; with another new stable now.
11 9th (11) (66/1 -100%) Tis But A Scratch	66 66/1(-100%)	(11) Tis But A Scratch 66/1, In good nick without winning until pulled up in 3m2f handicap at Newton Abbot in June. Needs to get back on track. Placed twice at Uttoxeter in May but is 0-16 over hurdles and others look more interesting.
5 10th (5) (28/1 -133%) Shesupincourt	28 28/1(-133%)	(5) Shesupincourt 28/1, Dual winner (around 23f) last term but he's not the most reliable and was held on his final two starts. Others appeal more. Out of form at end of last season; cheekpieces (worn for both wins) missing today.
1 11th (1) (13/2 -18%) Always Busy	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(1) Always Busy 13/2, Winless over hurdles last term and off since falling heavily 1st in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his return. Second to bang-in-form mare in March; still on good mark; returns from a break.
6 \|PU\| (6) (7/1 -75%) Abbeyhill	7 7/1(-75%)	(6) Abbeyhill 7/1, Irish point scorer who ended last season on the up, going in at Plumpton and Catterick (25f). Has a 9 month absence to overcome here but still merits serious consideration with yard among the winners. In good form last autumn/winter, winning twice; back from nine-month break today.
2 \|PU\| (2) (100/1 -52%) Quickbuck	100 100/1(-52%)	(2) Quickbuck 100/1, Fair hurdler at his best but he has lost his way and was pulled up in 2m4f Plumpton handicap on his yard debut last month. Can only be watched. Pulled up when 100-1 for recent stable debut; blinkers added today.

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

At first glance a 10lb hike appears to be on the harsh side for I'M ON MY WAY following her narrow victory at Southwell in March but, with the second and third undefeated in three subsequent outings, Neil Mulholland's mare looks capable of following up. The selection's stablemate Abbeyhill was also on an upward trajectory last season and it will be interesting to see how the seven-year-old compares in the market. Lady Harriett and Shesupincourt are also noted.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and in-form Neil Mulholland could hold the key with his upwardly-mobile duo ABBEYHILL and I'm On My Way fancied to fight out the finish on their respective reappearances. Getaway With You, Gavin and Jetaway To Getaway appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

It might pay to give another chance to LADY HARRIETT, who disappointed last time but is a big player if judged on her penultimate run.

3 1st (3) (4/1 -60%) Bear Profit	4 4/1(-60%)	(3) Bear Profit 4/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in June. Very good second of 14 in handicap (9/2) at the Curragh (10f, good) 15 days ago, clear of rest. Merits serious consideration with that form having been franked. Second at the Curragh in front of today's rival Nunc Est Bidendum, very promising rider.
11 2nd (11) (5/1 -11%) Nunc Est Bibendum	5 5/1(-11%)	(11) Nunc Est Bibendum 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 14 in handicap (11/2) at the Curragh (10f, good) 15 days ago, left with lot to do. One to consider with few miles still on the clock. Made a bright start in handicaps with Curragh third, rider showed talent on pony circuit.
2 3rd (2) (10/1 +29%) Red Trail	10 10/1(+29%)	(2) Red Trail 10/1, Below form ninth of 15 in handicap (20/1) at Roscommon (12.1f, soft) 41 days ago. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort. Down the field over 1m4f last time, previous C&D second gives her a definite chance.
5 3rd (5) (14/1 -17%) Alfalfa	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Alfalfa 14/1, 11/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Listowel (9f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. In good form at around this time last year, two moderate runs last month after a break.
1 5th (1) (17/2 +29%) Pralognan	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(1) Pralognan 17/2, 25/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Roscommon (7.4f, soft) 41 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Has good chance on pick of his form. Sole win was in France as a juvenile, some sort of chance on last season's best form.
10 6th (10) (9/1 +25%) Unterberg	9 9/1(+25%)	(10) Unterberg 9/1, Fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, good, 14/1) 42 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Both wins on AW, did not stay 1m4f last time, better judged on previous Cork second.
8 6th (8) (16/1 -33%) Sinbad My Dad	16 16/1(-33%)	(8) Sinbad My Dad 16/1, 20/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Listowel (9f, good to soft) 20 days ago. One for the shortlist. Only once in the first three, Listowel fifth on latest was reasonably encouraging.
7 8th (7) (12/1 +14%) Lust	12 12/1(+14%)	(7) Lust 12/1, Course winner. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, soft, 17/2) 11 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Chance if rediscovering old form. Has come down in the world since a course Listed win for Ger Lyons in 2022, out of form.
13 9th (13) (13/2 +19%) Chicago Storm	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(13) Chicago Storm 13/2, C&D winner. Winner here in August. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Killarney (8.1f, heavy) 6 days ago. Back up in trip. Ought to be thereabouts. Breakthrough win came over C&D on his 23rd start, found 1m too sharp at Killarney.
4 10th (4) (12/1 +14%) Nituna	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Nituna 12/1, Course winner. Winner here in July. Seventeenth of 19 in handicap (80/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 29 days ago. Up in trip. Something to find on form. Won for this rider over 1m at this venue in June, no impact in two subsequent outings.
12 11th (12) (11/2 +8%) Bizarre Dreams	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(12) Bizarre Dreams 11/2, Winner at Clonmel in September. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good, 4/1) 22 days ago. Stable having good spell. Visor on 1st time. Others have achieved more. Not one of her better efforts at Gowran but has been generally reliable this season.

16:35 Naas Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Successful over 1m1f at Leopardstown during the summer, BEAR PROFIT has run respectably since and was back to something like his best when second over this trip at the Curragh. Reapplied cheekpieces seemed to work well then and it's a slight concern that the headgear is now left off, but he represents an in-form yard and his capable young rider's presence in the saddle is another positive. Nunc Est Bibendum was four lengths behind the selection when third at the Curragh but is open to improvement, while four-time winner Red Trail, who found 1m4f too far last time, was touched off over C&D in August and can turn around that form with the winner, Chicago Storm.

BEAR PROFIT looks the way to go on the back of his very good Curragh second with that form working out well. Nunc Est Bibendum remains quite unexposed and could emerge as the main danger with Chicago Storm and Pralognan also in the picture.

The vote goes to NUNC EST BIBENDUM who came from off the pace at the Curragh and may reverse form with runner-up Bear Profit

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (10/3 +26%) Alpha Crucis	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(4) Alpha Crucis 10/3, Building up a solid record at this venue and he capitalised on an easing mark to land 6-runner handicap here (9f, heavy) 18 days ago, albeit a shade flattered by the winning margin. Handicapper has reacted but he's entitled to respect back down in trip. Heavy ground when he scored by 6l in six-runner race here (1m1f) 18 days ago; up 9lb.
1 2nd (1) (4/1 +27%) Rhoscolyn	4 4/1(+27%)	(1) Rhoscolyn 4/1, Revels in the mud and he enhanced his fine record here when landing 6-runner C&D handicap (heavy) on penultimate start in September. Far from disgraced when ninth of 18 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good) 8 days ago and no surprise to see him thereabouts back at this venue. Has a fine record on heavy ground and at Goodwood, including a 1m win on penultimate start.
6 3rd (6) (7/1 -56%) Dashing Darcey	7 7/1(-56%)	(6) Dashing Darcey 7/1, Won a pair of 1m Lingfield novices on AW in December and has progressed again in handicaps, off the mark at Haydock (1m) in June and similar form following a break when runner-up back at that venue 2 weeks ago. Versatile as regards ground and he's respected. 100 days off before good second at Haydock (1m) two weeks ago, his first run on soft.
2 4th (2) (7/2 +36%) Whip Cracker	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(2) Whip Cracker 7/2, Lightly raced 3-y-o who ran up to best after 3 months off when third of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Newbury (10f, soft) 22 days ago. Return to 1m will hold no fears and he's respected from unchanged mark. Third over 1m2f on heavy last time but this drop back in trip may help; lightly raced 3yo.
9 5th (9) (13/2 -18%) Arkhalia Flynn	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(9) Arkhalia Flynn 13/2, Has progressed into a useful performer, bagging a third success in handicaps at Windsor (1m, soft) in August. Runner-up both starts since, a slow start not helping when chasing home Marcella in handicap at Epsom (8.5f) 2 weeks ago. Looks sure to be in the mix again. Progressive 3yo, including on soft and heavy; second to Marcella at Epsom last time.
7 6th (7) (28/1 +0%) Son Of Man	28 28/1(+0%)	(7) Son Of Man 28/1, Stepped up markedly on his reappearance effort when runner-up over 7f here in June. However, not scaled same heights since, including in 2 starts for new stable, seventh of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, heavy) 16 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Ran well on heavy last term but didn't on latest outing, on his second race for this yard.
5 7th (5) (8/1 +11%) Crack Shot	8 8/1(+11%)	(5) Crack Shot 8/1, Progressive at 3 and made a winning return over 1m at Newmarket in May. Best effort since when fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 49 days ago and no surprise to see a good showing with his mark having eased a little more. Started this season with a career best to win at Newmarket, which he has not matched.
3 8th (3) (10/1 -43%) Marcella	10 10/1(-43%)	(3) Marcella 10/1, Struggled following a promising comeback run in the spring but found a drop in grade/positive ride right up her street when back to winning ways in 8-runner handicap at Epsom (8.5f, soft) 14 days ago, by 2 lengths from Arkhalia Flynn. May find things tougher from revised mark/back up in class. 7lb higher than at Epsom (8.5f, heavy) latest but that win came in dominant fashion.

16:45 Goodwood Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

This looks a tricky puzzle to solve and a chance taken on RHOSCOLYN, who has won four times at this venue. David O'Meara's charge won over C&D on his penultimate outing off just 2lb lower and, should he be revived by the return to this track, he could take some beating. Alpha Crucis won as he liked over 1m1f here last month and he can offer another bold bid, but a 9lb hike may not be easy to defy. Similar comments apply to Marcella, who has gone up 7lb for her two-length Epsom triumph.

PLANTADREAM's losing run tempers enthusiasm to a degree but he again went agonisingly close to bucking that trend over C&D 7 weeks ago, just failing having conceded first run. He's given the vote partnered by Hollie Doyle for the first time. Arkhalia Flynn, prolific course scorer Rhoscolyn and Alpha Crucis are just a trio of others to consider in a competitive affair.

Nearly all also have plenty going for them. However, RHOSCOLYN has had six races at Goodwood on soft or heavy going and won five.

Form	Odds	Runs
12 1st (12) (4/1 +11%) Hand Over Fist	4 4/1(+11%)	(12) Hand Over Fist 4/1, Promising sort. Latest win in chase at Kilbeggan in August. Fell in handicap chase at Downpatrick (23.5f, good to soft, 5/1) 23 days ago, looking set to go close at the time. Expected to be bang there. Kilbeggan winner; chance off this 8lb higher mark when capsizing late on at Downpatrick.
1 2nd (1) (12/1 +25%) Hascoeur Clermont	12 12/1(+25%)	(1) Hascoeur Clermont 12/1, Unreliable sort. Pulled up in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (25.4f, good to soft, 14/1) 51 days ago, struggling from circuit out. Has to rebound from two below-par runs but that's feasible; still only a 7yo.
5 3rd (5) (10/3 +17%) Noble Birth	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(5) Noble Birth 10/3, Seventh of 11 in novice chase (16/1) at Galway (18.2f, good to soft) 34 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. First run for yard after leaving Eric McNamara. Makes handicap chase debut. Second in one of his chases and could be a lively one on debut for Gavin Cromwell.
10 4th (10) (8/1 +0%) Toofareastiswest	8 8/1(+0%)	(10) Toofareastiswest 8/1, 66/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Others look better treated. Third on his return from a break at Galway when outpaced over that sharp 2m6f.
4 5th (4) (40/1 -150%) Clonmeen	40 40/1(-150%)	(4) Clonmeen 40/1, Latest win in chase at Punchestown in December. 18/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (31.3f, soft) 162 days ago. Back down in trip. Dual winner on slow ground late last year but has rather lost his way.
8 6th (8) (22/1 -57%) King Ferdinand	22 22/1(-57%)	(8) King Ferdinand 22/1, Latest win in chase at Killarney in August. 20/1, unseated rider in handicap chase at Listowel (22f, soft) 15 days ago. Has work to do. Ran poorly after his Killarney win (9lb lower) and then departed early at Listowel.
11 \|F\| (11) (14/1 +0%) Avec Espoir	14 14/1(+0%)	(11) Avec Espoir 14/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in August. 9/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Listowel (23.8f, soft) 15 days ago. Considered. Testing ground an excuse last time but his current mark is a cause for concern.
13 \|F\| (13) (15/2 +53%) Just Three	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(13) Just Three 15/2, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. 10/1, ninth of 16 in handicap chase at Listowel (19.4f, soft) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Tack issues when backed at Galway and testing ground found him out the last time.
6 \|PU\| (6) (4/1 +11%) Bella Bliss	4 4/1(+11%)	(6) Bella Bliss 4/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 10 in handicap chase (4/1) at Roscommon (21.7f, soft) 13 days ago. Should be involved. Only 1lb higher than for latest gallant second in a 2m5f handicap chase at Roscommon.
2 \|PU\| (2) (20/1 -122%) I A Connect	20 20/1(-122%)	(2) I A Connect 20/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap chase (10/1) at Listowel (17.7f, good) 21 days ago. Others make more appeal. Not in the best of form and he's unraced beyond 2m4f, so there are stamina issues.
3 \|PU\| (3) (22/1 -83%) Paidi's Passion	22 22/1(-83%)	(3) Paidi's Passion 22/1, Latest win in chase at Roscommon in June. 17/2, bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Roscommon (21.7f, soft) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not impossibly treated by any means if rediscovering some spark in the new cheekpieces.
7 \|PU\| (7) (33/1 -65%) History Of Fashion	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) History Of Fashion 33/1, Pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (31.3f, soft, 16/1) 162 days ago, well beaten 5 out. Back down in trip. Not dismissed. Poor strike-rate but has been contesting stronger races this year.

16:55 Cork Handicap Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NOBLE BIRTH can make a winning stable debut for trainer Gavin Cromwell. Three times successful over hurdles for Eric McNamara, the seven-year-old is nicely treated off a 4lb lower chasing mark. Runner-up on his first start over fences in Killarney in August, the gelding was hampered by a faller when down the field at Galway after. Switched straight into handicap company after just the two runs, that decision can be rewarded. Hand Over Fist shouldn't be far away for the Henry De Bromhead yard. A winner over fences at Kilbeggan in August, the seven-year-old was still in front when falling two out at Downpatrick next time. Runner-up on her last two outings, Bella Bliss, should again be competitive for trainer John McConnell.

HAND OVER FIST looked set to go close when falling 2 out at Downpatrick last time so, if he's none the worse for that incident, he can continue his progress and get back to winning ways. Bella Bliss and Noble Birth both strike as feasible dangers.

A chance is taken on JUST THREE, who wasn't suited by testing ground last time and he's open to improvement as a chaser.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (9/4 +50%) Boston Joe	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(2) Boston Joe 9/4, Remains a sketchy jumper over fences but capitalised on some lenient handicapping to enhance his good course record here in 11-runner C&D handicap in May. Well held off revised mark next 2 starts later that month but off since and has been eased 2 lb. Inconsistent but he's a capable C&D winner and has won after a break in the past.
5 2nd (5) (6/1 -9%) Supposedtobe	6 6/1(-9%)	(5) Supposedtobe 6/1, Dual hurdles winner but hasn't looked a natural in this sphere despite being placed on his last 2 starts. Didn't look at home around Fontwell before running on to be third there 19 days ago.
6 3rd (6) (9/1 -38%) Pittsburg	9 9/1(-38%)	(6) Pittsburg 9/1, Took advantage of his fall in the weights when recording a third win over fences at Uttoxeter (16f, soft) in July. Never involved in 2 runs on the Flat in August but hinted at still being in form back over jumps last 2 starts. Capable if at his very best but not entirely sure what to expect from him.
8 4th (8) (4/1 +71%) The Big Man	4 4/1(+71%)	(8) The Big Man 4/1, Last of 5 sole start in bumpers and down the field in varied events over hurdles. Makes chase debut. Well-bred 5yo with low mileage and connections are evidently keen to get him over fences.
1 5th (1) (5/1 +29%) Hokelami	5 5/1(+29%)	(1) Hokelami 5/1, Getting the hang of thing over fences, taking his form to a new level when scoring at Sedgefield in March. Excuses at Huntingdon later that month so can bounce back if ready to go. In career-best form earlier this year and was struck into when last seen in March.
9 6th (9) (28/1 +15%) Dancing Dani	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) Dancing Dani 28/1, Poor and long-standing maiden under Rules. 0-21 under rules but has ability and could nick a race off this low a mark.
4 7th (4) (17/2 -353%) Johnny Mac	8.5 17/2(-353%)	(4) Johnny Mac 17/2, Has shown improved form since joining his current yard, completing hat-trick at Leicester when last seen in January, his resolution on show yet again in gaining another verdict of a length or less. Capable of even better over fences so big shout if ready to go after 9 months off. Unbeaten for this yard after rattling off a hat-trick in 2m handicaps last winter.
3 \|PU\| (3) (11/1 -10%) Kadex	11 11/1(-10%)	(3) Kadex 11/1, It was a poor race in which he opened his chase account at Plumpton a year ago and he has generally underperformed since. Left Lucy Wadham and had a breathing operation since last seen over 4 months ago. Lost his way for previous yard and 2m trip is a concern even if he's back on song.

17:05 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

JOHNNY MAC is a chaser on the upgrade having won all three starts since joining Matt Sheppard's yard. He defied a 10lb rise when beating a subsequent dual winner at Leicester in January and the nine-year-old can continue winning ways having gone well fresh in the past. Supposedtobe produced a late rally to take third at Fontwell last month and has a shout off the same mark in this lower grade, while Hokelami is worth a second glance on his reappearance.

Low-mileage 9-y-o JOHNNY MAC is 3 from 3 over fences since joining his current yard and has won on his comeback before, so gets the vote over Boston Joe, who has a good record here and can also go well fresh. Hokelami looks best of the others.

It could pay to take a chance on chasing debutant THE BIG MAN, a well-bred 5yo who didn't hang about over hurdles.

4 1st (4) (9/2 -64%) Cloud Seeker	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(4) Cloud Seeker 9/2, 3 wins from 6 runs this year, posting a career best when winning 11-runner handicap (5/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 52 days ago. Needs considering despite taking a 4 lb rise. Seeking a four-timer but better-class contest than of late.
2 2nd (2) (5/2 +44%) Lord Church	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(2) Lord Church 5/2, 3 wins from 4 runs this year, latest at the Curragh in June. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good, 5/1) 85 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Progressive in first half of season; back from a break off still decent mark so respected.
3 3rd (3) (4/1 -14%) Thor's Hammer	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Thor's Hammer 4/1, Winner at Killarney in May. Tongue strap on for 1st time, good third of 9 in handicap at Listowel (12f, good to soft, 7/2) 20 days ago. Expected to be bang there at these weights. Didn't look to stay 1m4f at Listowel after racing keenly; return to 1m2f should suit.
5 4th (5) (12/1 -20%) It'sonlyjustbegun	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) It'sonlyjustbegun 12/1, Winner at Navan in July. 7/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 52 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time with work to do. Navan winner hasn't progressed as expected; cheekpieces now tried.
1 5th (1) (4/1 +33%) Old Faithful	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) Old Faithful 4/1, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, didn't enjoy a clear run when fifteenth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good, 10/1) 29 days ago. Can give a good account. C&D winner earlier in season returns to optimum trip and drops in grade.
6 6th (6) (12/1 -50%) Seti	12 12/1(-50%)	(6) Seti 12/1, Dundalk 7f maiden winner before posting a very good third of 12 in nursery there (8f) 10 months ago. Up in trip and not ruled out if fully tuned up for his return. Belated seasonal return; yard going well of late so don't rule out with trip to suit.
8 7th (8) (40/1 -21%) Alfheim	40 40/1(-21%)	(8) Alfheim 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 15 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now. Hasn't progressed and recent handicap debut poor; blinkers tried and 4lb wrong.

17:10 Naas Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CLOUD SEEKER has been well placed by the Slatterys this season and can complete a four-timer. The Masar gelding, who stays a good bit further, tends to do just enough to score which has meant a cumulative rise of 15lb for his three wins. Last seen when landing a valuable prize on the Tapeta surface at Newcastle in August, his prominent style of racing will be handy in this small field. Lord Church was bidding for a four-timer of his own when third over this trip at the Curragh. He returns from a break and may be capable of resuming his progress. Old Faithful went close off this mark in a premier handicap in July but has been well held since.

THOR'S HAMMER rates the pick of these weights on the back of his good Listowel third and is taken to resume winning ways. Lord Church is enjoying an excellent season and next on the list with Old Faithful and Cloud Seeker also firmly in the picture too.

Quite an open look to this handicap, it could pay to side with LORD CHURCH, returning from a break with likely more improvement in him

2 2nd (2) (4/1 +20%) Racingbreaks Ryder	4 4/1(+20%)	(2) Racingbreaks Ryder 4/1, Well treated and has shaped well on occasion this year, notably at this course. Not disgraced on latest effort and stable have been showing better signs lately. One to note. Likes soft ground but hasn't seemed quite the old force this year; needs turnaround.
5 3rd (5) (13/2 +54%) Asteverdi	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(5) Asteverdi 13/2, Well on top at the line when opening her account for the season at Sandown in June but has been hit and miss since, her latest effort at Haydock one of her lesser ones. Cheekpieces are tried. Impressive 1m winner on good to soft in June; ground excuses in 2 of 3 runs since.
7 4th (7) (4/1 +11%) Windcrack	4 4/1(+11%)	(7) Windcrack 4/1, Progressive switched to handicaps and completed a Sandown double when finding plenty to land a 10-runner event there last time. Has to prove herself on this less-conventional track but she's worthy of respect. Suited by return to 1m when winning last 2 starts at Sandown; up 3lb; every chance.
6 5th (6) (11/1 -57%) Ziggy's Phoenix	11 11/1(-57%)	(6) Ziggy's Phoenix 11/1, Caused a 66/1 shock at Newmarket in May and arguably surpassed that performance when accounting for 7 rivals in a C&D handicap in August. Ran about as well in defeat from 4 lb higher when third of 6 at Ascot (1m, good to soft) last month and deserves respect again. Handles all ground; creditable 3rd to big improver at Ascot (1m, soft) latest; thereabouts.
3 6th (3) (7/2 +13%) Phoenix Passion	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(3) Phoenix Passion 7/2, Has thrived this year, completing the four-timer when dead-heating at Kempton (1m) in June. Has remained in form since and he's liable to give another good account. Won 3-4 turf handicaps at 1m in 2024; good 2nd latest; good claims.
1 7th (1) (4/1 -33%) Magic Memories	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Magic Memories 4/1, Has plenty of form with the mud is flying and scored at Yarmouth in June. Just ticking over subsequently but can never be ruled out in these sort of conditions. Both wins at 1m on soft; hasn't raised his game in higher grades but this is more suitable.
4 8th (4) (11/1 +8%) Double Time	11 11/1(+8%)	(4) Double Time 11/1, Quirky sort who scored here in June and, having edged back down the weights, looked back in form when sixth at Kempton 11 days ago. Tricky ride, so will need the race to pan out ideally. 3rd in this race last year and C&D winner in June; lesser runs of late though.
8 9th (8) (12/1 -9%) Beau Jardine	12 12/1(-9%)	(8) Beau Jardine 12/1, Visored for 1st time, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft, 9/2) 9 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Cheekpieces back on. Seemingly just ticking over at present and he's wrong at the weights. Both handicap wins at 6f on soft; has been fading over 7f and 1m since latest one in May.

17:20 Goodwood Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

PHOENIX PASSION was only narrowly beaten when second over 1m at Newbury last month and this represents a good opportunity for him to go one better. Ed Walker's charge has continued to progress since scoring over this C&D in May and a 1lb rise for his latest effort may prove lenient. Windcrack arrives here seeking a hat-trick after back-to-back 1m wins at Sandown but a further 3lb rise for a neck success last time may just halt her progression, while Ziggy's Phoenix also makes appeal.

RACINGBREAKS RYDER isn't the most reliable but he's well treated and already shaped well here this season, so he's worth taking a chance on. Magic Memories and Phoenix Passion should also be on the premises.

Windcrack can continue to improve but C&D winner PHOENIX PASSION has a fine record in turf handicaps and is preferred.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (2/7 +69%) Meitheal	0.285714 2/7(+69%)	(4) Meitheal 2/7, Confirmed previous promise when winning 15-runner bumper at Galway (16.7f, good to soft) 34 days ago, keeping on well. Capable of following up. Dug deep to get the better of a well-touted Willie Mullins newcomer at Galway.
2 2nd (2) (50/1 -52%) Coup D'etat	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Coup D'etat 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in bumper at Clonmel (16.2f, soft, 80/1) 150 days ago. Beaten 20l on debut and even further second time out at Clonmel.
6 3rd (6) (16/1 -60%) A New Deck	16 16/1(-60%)	(6) A New Deck 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in bumper at Listowel (16f, soft, 40/1) 16 days ago. Needs to improve. Nice pedigree but has made a low-key start, beaten 39l and 24l in her two races.
3 4th (3) (11/2 -57%) Faceman	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(3) Faceman 11/2, Once-raced maiden. Third of 12 in bumper at Listowel (20f, soft, 14/1) on NH debut 18 days ago. Worthy of respect with the potential for better. No match for the front two but stayed on into third on soft at Listowel (2m4f).
1 5th (1) (15/2 -200%) Brave Crogha	7.5 15/2(-200%)	(1) Brave Crogha 15/2, Winner in bumper at Galway in August. Creditable third of 7 in bumper (13/2) at Killarney (16.4f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Should be on the premises. Has proved his Galway win was no fluke but may again be vulnerable under a penalty.
5 6th (5) (66/1 +34%) King Conor	66 66/1(+34%)	(5) King Conor 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 8 in bumper (50/1) at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 30 days ago. Point form forgettable and was tailed off in a Ballinrobe bumper when 50-1.

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

John and Thomas Kiely were on the mark with an easy bumper winner at Tramore on Thursday and the yard can strike again in this category with Galway winner MEITHEAL. The Imperial Monarch mare beat a well-fancied Willie Mullins inmate at Ballybrit after finishing second on her first two starts at Wexford. Touched off over 2m4f on debut, there are no concerns about her stamina as she steps back up in trip and she can cope with racing against geldings for the first time. Shock Galway Festival winner Brave Crogha ran respectably under a penalty at Killarney, while Faceman, out of Solerina and a half-brother to four winners over jumps, showed promise on debut when third over 2m4f at Listowel.

MEITHEAL put her stamina to good use when scoring at Galway last month and this extra distance looks firmly in her favour, so she's taken to follow up at the likely expense of Crogha. Faceman could make an impact if he steps up on his mildly encouraging debut.

The 5yo mare MEITHEAL showed a good attitude to floor a Mullins favourite at Galway and she can follow up.

17:40 Ffos Las NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (5/1 -50%) Full Force Gale	5 5/1(-50%)	(2) Full Force Gale 5/1, £60,000 3-y-o, Blue Bresil gelding. Dam (h122), 2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to bumper winner (stayed 3m over hurdles) Neville. Interesting newcomer. Second foal from a fair 2m3f hurdle winner; stable has modest strike-rate in bumpers.
3 2nd (3) (7/1 -40%) Koapey	7 7/1(-40%)	(3) Koapey 7/1, €52,000 3-y-o, Manatee gelding. Brother to fairly useful 19f chase winner in France Juste Milieu. Dam placed in French bumpers. One to note for stable with good record in this sphere. 52,000euros 3yo; brother to a French chase winner; stable does pretty well in bumpers.
4 3rd (4) (6/5 +56%) Tamarind Bay	1.2 6/5(+56%)	(4) Tamarind Bay 6/5, Promising second at Kempton on debut, then disappointed at the same track. Has left Victor Dartnall and joined an in-form yard since, so worthy of interest. Second at Kempton in February; leading contender on stable debut.
1 4th (1) (6/1 -71%) Desert Halo	6 6/1(-71%)	(1) Desert Halo 6/1, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Declan Queally when fourth of 10 in bumper (17/2) at Southwell (15.8f, heavy). Off 7 months. May yet do better. Second on debut in Ireland in 2023 and ran okay for new stable in February.
7 5th (7) (16/1 -167%) All Inn Hand	16 16/1(-167%)	(7) All Inn Hand 16/1, Out of a bumper winner and has showed something to work on first time out. Failed to build on that at Worcester next time but had excuses and she's been allowed a 3-month break since. Respectable third in run-of-the-mill race on debut; disappointing favourite next time.
5 6th (5) (11/2 +8%) Kate Of The Lodge	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(5) Kate Of The Lodge 11/2, £50,000 but after easily getting off the mark in Irish points at second attempt (Mar 31). Betting interesting for a stable that does well at this track. Bought for £50,000 after winning Irish point on heavy ground in March; market may guide.
6 7th (6) (100/1 -52%) Whatmakes Honey B	100 100/1(-52%)	(6) Whatmakes Honey B 100/1, €4,500 3-y-o, Workforce mare. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/chase winner (stayed 2¾m) Storm of Swords. Maiden Irish pointer, pulled up last 2 starts (latest May 12). Makes little appeal. 0-8 in Irish points, having been pulled up on her last two appearances; rules debut today.

17:40 Ffos Las NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

TAMARIND BAY showed enough to suggest he can win a bumper at this level when finishing runner-up at Kempton on his racecourse debut. The four-year-old has switched yards since disappointing at the same track in March and a bold bid is anticipated. Desert Halo is another likely improver based on last year's second at Ballinrobe, while Kate Of The Lodge won an Irish point-to-point in good style and debuts under Rules with a shout.

KATE OF THE LODGE opened her account with ease in a point at the second attempt and has been found a reasonable opening on Rules debut, so she's preferred to Tamarind Bay, who sets the standard. Koapey is a notable newcomer.

This looks good for TAMARIND BAY, who ran well in two much deeper races than this at Kempton for another stable last season.

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.

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.
