13:05 Naas Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Although her stable wouldn't be noted for having juvenile winners, the Ciaran Murphy-trained VIERSON is bred to be a speedy sort. By Blue Point, a sire that has made an outstanding start to his career at stud, the filly is a half-sister to two winners. While it is likely that she will improve from the initial experience, connections may just have found a nice opportunity. Au Lait is a real threat, having run better on all three starts than her form figures indicate. Hampered on debut over course and distance before running on late, she ran green when sent off favourite on her second start, while the Ballyhane was a bridge too far last time. Do Si Do was well beaten over course and distance on debut last month but is sure to be all the better for that experience.

This may well go to one of the newcomers, with EBANZA and Vierson both making plenty of appeal on paper. The market should be informative but, as things stand, preference is for the former. Do Si Do's C&D debut last month was not completely devoid of promise and she is the pick of the trio with experience.

A weak-looking maiden for the venue in which a chance is taken on the speedily-bred debutante MAGS

LTO Selection:

13:25 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KALEOSUN is an interesting recruit for Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown and may be able to make a winning start over hurdles. The No Risk At All gelding won a French bumper back in April and subsequently was bought for 215,000 euros. Hands On shaped with promise when fourth on his jumping debut at Listowel and with some natural improvement from that experience he is entitled to be a big player. Right Now was placed in a couple of Flat maidens and has a mark of 71 on the level. He is sure to be well schooled for this task and is another for the shortlist.

KALEOSUN was picked up for a hefty sum after winning a French bumper and he's fancied to make a successful start for his powerful connections at the likely expense of Hands On, who shaped encouragingly in a juvenile hurdle at Listowel 28 days ago. Right Now is another one to consider.

French import KALEOSUN cost plenty and looks a likely type. The market will be helpful regarding Hands On who ran well at Listowel

LTO Selection:

13:35 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Kym Eyre got up in the dying strides over this trip at Newton Abbot earlier in the month and she should go well once again, even off a 7lb higher rating. However, preference is for ROSEARELLI, who returned from a long absence to run with credit when fourth over hurdles at Worcester last month and she could make her second start for the Dr Richard Newland stable a victorious one. Trapista is another to consider after her third at Uttoxeter.

It could be worth chancing ROSEARELLI, who shaped as if retaining her ability starting out for this yard at Worcester. Trapista is becoming dangerously handicapped so is another to consider, with Kym Eyre best of the others.

Course winner ROSEARELLI (nap) returned from a long layoff with a very encouraging stable debut over hurdles and appeals most.

LTO Selection:

13:40 Naas Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

IL PELLEGRINO did very well to finish runner-up on his debut at the Curragh last month especially considering he got upset in the stalls and missed the break. However, once the penny began to drop, the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt kept on well to go second inside the last furlong. Provided that he settles better in the preliminaries, the son of No Nay Never should go one better. Goal Exceeded has run well enough on both appearances to date to suggest he can again make his presence felt. The John O'Donoghue-trained colt has an advantage over a few of these in terms of experience. Chet's Fancy is interesting on breeding on his racecourse debut and is another to note.

IL PELLEGRINO shaped with plenty of promise when chasing home the useful Pipsy (listed winner since) in a maiden at the Curragh last month and is taken to go one better here. He pulled nicely clear of the third, Emperor of Rome, who had the benefit of prior experience and will do well to reverse those placings. Goal Exceeded and Take Me To Church are live each-way contenders, while newcomer Chet's Fancy is one to note in the betting.

IL PELLEGRINO stands out on his Curragh debut effort and is a confident choice

LTO Selection:

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

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

HAVAILA failed to justify favouritism at Kempton in June, but the son of Le Havre had finished a good second over 1m 6f here the start prior. He is only 1lb above that mark and a return to the Sussex venue could prove crucial to his chance. Motazzen relished the soft ground when scoring off 3lb lower over 1m6f at Nottingham last month and he's expected make his presence felt once again, along with Yorksea, who might improve on May's C&D fifth.

HAVAILA had excuses at Kempton last time and is worth another chance under suitable conditions. Yorksea remains potentially well treated on the Flat and is the obvious threat, with Cherry Cola best of the others.

Preference is for HAVAILA who ran well over 1m6f here in May and is likely to be seen to even better effect with today's slog.

LTO Selection:

14:00 Cork Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Not the strongest looking contest and if BLACK BAMBOO can perform anywhere near his mark of 121 he should be able to collect. The John Murphy-trained gelding was a bumper winner back in February 2022 and has kept decent company since going over hurdles. This is an easier task than the novice hurdle he ran in at Killarney last time. Despite finishing fifth of six then he wasn't beaten far behind Lucid Dreams. The mare Purse Price disappointed when last seen at Sligo in July but she had been consistent before that and looks a potential danger in receipt of 9lb. Our Girl Sal has been knocking on the door and could be place material.

BLACK BAMBOO ran creditably whilst suggesting his stamina was stretched tackling an extended 22f at Killarney in August and, having previously highlighted a race of this nature was within his grasp, he gets the vote to come out on top dropping back in trip. Purse Price and Our Girl Sal can emerge as the chief threats.

A gilt-edged opportunity forBLACK BAMBOO whose form is by far the strongest; Purse Price can be next best if bouncing back

LTO Selection:

14:10 Ffos Las Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Mt Fugi Park was bought for 290,000 pounds earlier in the year and it would be no surprise to see him figure on his debut under Rules. However, the vote goes to WRAPPEDUPINMAY, who hosed up on his first bumper start at Exeter before failing to justify his short odds under a penalty at Sandown. The son of Ocovango represents powerful connections and he is likely to be bang there where it matters. Support Act was impressive at Wetherby and is another to note.

WRAPPEDUPINMAY created a good impression on the first of 2 bumper starts for Paul Nicholls at the beginning of the year and is taken to strike on his hurdle debut. He may not have things all his own way, though, as expensive point winner Mt Fugi Park and bumper-scorer Support Act are other interesting recruits to hurdling.

With proven ability to act in testing ground, WRAPPEDUPINMAY can make a winning start over hurdles.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Naas Stakes 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KING CUAN should prove hard to beat in a race where he is favourably treated by the conditions. The Paddy Twomey-trained colt has won two of his three starts but could well be coming here unbeaten but for running into traffic problems on his racecourse debut at the Curragh. With the form of his two subsequent wins having worked out extremely well, the son of Tasleet looks a very smart prospect. Megarry has to concede weight all round but the recent Listed race winner should be capable of going close under Gary Carroll. While he is certainly more exposed than King Cuan, he has proven himself at a higher level and is more streetwise. Lia Fail doesn't have her usual claimer on board here but shouldn't be discounted despite having a bit to do at these weights.

A sizeable pot on offer here and ULURU and King Cuan, both of whom look pretty useful, could be the pair to concentrate on. There's real substance to King Cuan's form and he's not passed over at all lightly, but Uluru did the job in the manner of a fine prospect on debut at Gowran (changed hands since) and she looks a Group-class filly in the making. Megarry is a solid type and is the clear best of the rest on the back of his listed success at Fairyhouse.

There should be better to come from KING CUAN who overcame adversity to win snugly from Jakajaro over 6f at this venue last month.

Judged on bare form, he'll find better opportunities in handicaps shortly.
LTO Selection:

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

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

AL SHABAB STORM found only the progressive Accumulate too strong at Newmarket last time out and Andrew Balding's keen-natured colt is fancied to regain the winning thread on the drop to 6f. Testing conditions hold no fear for the selection, which may also suit chief rival Billy Webster. The son of Profitable was a debut winner at Pontefract in April and likely has more to offer. Jungle Mac could also have a say now reverting to turf.

AL SHABAB STORM again showed promise when finding only one too good at Newmarket (7f) 16 days ago and, with further progress in the offing, he can make it third time lucky. Jungle Mac can give Andrew Balding's charge most to think about.

The vote goes to JUNGLE MAC, who looks ready to strike. Al Shabab Storm is feared most on form.

LTO Selection:

14:35 Cork Maiden Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The mare DESERT HEATHER has a nice weight in this with Ray Barron taking 5lb off her back and may be worth siding with on her return to action. The daughter of Cloudings stays all day and was progressive last season, ending her campaign with two wins at Kilbeggan. She is joint top-rated off a mark of 128 but when you take into account Barron's claim she will receive a stone and 4lb from Solitary Man, who has the same rating. Enda Bolger's charge was a good winner of a novice event at Killarney at the start of the month and has race fitness on his side. There may be more to come from the lightly-raced Moon D'orange who scored at Cartmel in May, and he is another that has to be considered.

DESERT HEATHER was improving at a rate of knots when last seen, doubling her tally in good style at Kilbeggan in May, and she's fancied to continue the good work back from 5 months off in receipt of weight all round. Solitary Man and Sea Music are just a couple of others to consider in a race which should throw up winners.

A good little contest. SEA MOON wasn't seen to best effect last time and will be hard to beat over 3m with more positive tactics

LTO Selection:

14:45 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

MANORBANK has been successful on his last two outings over the smaller obstacles, including over this trip on his penultimate start. The son of Arcadio makes his chase debut off what could prove to be a lenient mark of 124, so he ought to go close. The main danger is Matata, who finished sixth in Grade 1 company at Aintree when last seen in April and he has plenty of ability, while Out Of Office completes the shortlist.

LLANDINABO LAD did reasonably well over fences last season without winning and his experience in this sphere should count for plenty up against 5 chasing newcomers. Matata confirmed himself useful when sixth in a Grade 1 at Aintree and this Irish point winner looks the obvious threat despite top weight. Low-mileage 8-y-o Manorbank is also of interest.

An interesting race in which MATATA can defy top weight and continue his stable's current warm spell.

14:50 Naas Listed 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Although yet to totally convince over this trip, CLEVER AND COOL stayed on well enough at Cork last time to suggest she has the stamina for such a test. The form of her win at Tipperary last month over just half-a-furlong shorter looks very strong in the context of this race. Provided her stamina reserves remain enact, the Jim Bolger-trained three-year-old should go very close. Mashia proved bitterly disappointing in a Group 2 at the Curragh last time but she was stepping up in both trip and class. On the balance of her form, the Dermot Weld-trained filly remains a smart prospect who could well have more to offer at this level. American Sonja doesn't have the easiest of draws to overcome but the Tasleet filly is a very consistent performer who should be involved.

Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand here and DIDN'THAVEMUCHTODO could be the pick of his three candidates. She was never in the hunt in a big handicap at the Curragh last time but was in good form prior to that, including at this level, and dropping back to a mile will help. Stablemate Honey Girl is feared most, with Clever And Cool and Mashia also shortlisted.

Despite having a bit to find with Clever And Cool on Tipperary running, HONEY GIRL gets the vote on the strength of overall form

LTO Selection:

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

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

MONSIEUR KODI struck over course and distance in August off a 2lb lower mark and he was not disgraced when eighth in the Silver Cup at Ayr last time. Therefore, he remains in solid enough form to suggest that he could go well in this contest. The main threat is Hierarchy, who scored over this track and trip last month and should go well once again off 4lb higher, while Gisburn could also have a say if bouncing back to form.

MONSIUER KODI should get his ground this afternoon and is taken to deny Spanish Star a third successive win in this contest. Treacherous went close at Kempton in midweek and ought to play a prominent role if in similar form. Punchbowl Flyer and Gisburn are potentially well-handicapped runners who are very much at home on a soft surface.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Cork Handicap Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GETABELLE ran well on her last visit here and may be able to go one better now. The Getaway mare lost out by half a length to Blenheim Belle back in August and stuck on all the way to the line after being headed on the run-in. She only went up 2lb for that effort and looks capable of winning a race of this standard. Toor Moon has been placed on his last couple of outings and looks an obvious danger. He ran well last time when chasing home Londonofficecallin in Killarney. Mikita was beaten a long way when third in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on her last start but could get closer trying handicap company for the first time now.

ONEFORTHEDITCH very much caught the eye on her handicap bow at Galway so could be worth chancing at the main expense of Toor Moon and Getabelle.

There could easily be one or two well-treated types amongst the handicap first-timers but Killarney second TOOR MOON is the solid option

LTO Selection:

15:20 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Faivoir capitalised off a reduced mark when landing the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and a 5lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid on his seasonal debut. However, slight preference is for NEMEAN LION, who capped off a fine campaign last season by landing a Kelso Grade 2 in March and the six-year-old may have more to offer now entering handicaps. Gin Coco and Strong Leader also warrant respect.

Boasting a progressive profile over hurdles following a lengthy absence last term, NEMEAN LION marked himself down as one to keep on the right side of when landing a Kelso Grade 2 in good style on his final start in March and he could well be up to making a winning return/handicap debut from what looks an appealing mark. Gin Coco has gone well fresh previously and he's feared, with Strong Leader and Irish- raider Fiveonefive also fancied to be on the premises.

An open handicap and EL MUCHACHO, despite the rise in class, in worth chancing.

LTO Selection:

15:25 Naas Listed 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The Dermot Weld-trained AZAZAT should appreciate this easier grade having been highly tried since winning her maiden at Leopardstown in May. To her credit, the Aga Khan-owned three-year-old has run some big races, finishing second in Group 3 class at Cork and beaten less than eight lengths in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh. On her penultimate start, the daughter of Camelot showed that she was competitive at this level when runner-up over ten furlongs. Stepping back up in trip here is certainly going to see her in a more favourable light. Gather Ye Rosebuds is one of the more unexposed contenders in the race. A winner on her debut, the UK raider found the ground too quick at York but returned to her best last time. Dancing Tango needs to step forward but could well be capable of doing so.

On what could be a red-letter day for the Joseph O'Brien yard, GOODIE TWO SHOES is taken to bag this listed prize. She landed a Gowran handicap on her latest start in this sphere in August and recently opened her hurdles account in good style a fortnight ago. There should be more to come from this unexposed 4-y-o. British raider Gather Ye Rosebuds is second choice ahead of Azazat and the selection's stablemate Dancing Tango.

With nine of these holding a rating between 96 and 101, this looks open. AZAZAT may prove equal to the task.

LTO Selection:

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

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

FIRST ENCORE was not at his very best at Haydock last time but the form of his third at Salisbury the time before suggests that a mark of 78 may underestimate him, especially as he may improve for a recent gelding operation. The progressive Amancio may prove to be the main threat on his nursery debut, although Hug A Tree and Queues Likely are others who could go well.

AMANCIO upped his game when second in a Hamilton maiden last time and a mark of 67 probably underestimates him, so he takes preference over Deep Blue, who also has her first go in nurseries. Hug A Tree is another one to consider.

LTO Selection:

15:45 Cork Handicap Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BALLYDANGAN posted an improved effort when chasing home Mick Charlie at Fairyhouse last time and may be capable of going a place better now. The first three pulled nicely clear that day and the form was given a boost with the third horse, Croi Corcra, running out a cosy winner over fences at Tramore the other day. Run Like Fada comes here off the back of a couple of decent runs and could be a danger. The Court Cave gelding was a solid third at Listowel last time and remains on the same mark, giving him another shot at this grade. Herculaneum, a winner on the Flat during the summer, looks on a nice mark over timber and is another for the shortlist.

If BALLYDANGAN is in the same form as when an improved second at Fairyhouse recently he might be able to go one better now. The return to a slightly longer trip could suit Glencourt Valley and he's second choice ahead of Run Like Fada and John McConnell's Noble Crusade.

If building upon his decent Navan effort last time, GLENCOURT VALLEY could be able to get off the mark in this lower grade

LTO Selection:

15:55 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

COAL FIRE relished the stiffer test when regaining the winning thread over an extended 3m2f at Newton Abbot recently and first-time cheekpieces may bring about enough improvement to overcome a 4lb rise. Fellow last-time-out winner Jacks Orchard is having only his third appearance in handicap company and is feared most now upped to 3m. Horizon D'or was too bad to be true when seventh at Uttoxeter and the six-year-old could also have a say.

JACKS ORCHARD is a lightly-raced 6-y-o who should have more to offer so he's taken to make light of a 5 lb rise for Uttoxeter. Coal Fire has had a good spell lately and is second choice ahead of the returning Mumbles, who has the potential for improvement in staying handicaps in the coming months.

After winning over 2m4f in August, JACKS ORCHARD gets the vote in the hope he improves again over today's longer trip.

16:00 Naas Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DUTCH GOLD, a winner at the Curragh on Thursday, can complete a quick double. The Noel Meade-trained gelding was always prominent in that aforementioned race, showing a smart turn of foot to quicken clear inside the last two furlongs. With the automatic 7lb penalty he picked up for that win cancelled out by Neil Ryan's claim, the gelding can race off the same mark here. Immutable finished ahead of Dutch Gold at Navan in July but the latter was virtually pulled up after his reins broke. Since then, Immutable has gone on to finish runner-up in a Listed race. Yamalia Star, who was only just denied at Killarney last time, has been improving with every start. Jack Davison's filly shouldn't be too far away under Ronan Whelan.

BOTTLER'SECRET built on his debut promise when landing a Galway maiden in August and, with the promise of better to come now pitched into a handicap and faced with a stiffer test, he gets the nod. Mr King didn't get home when upped to 1½m at Bellewstown but looks dangerous back at what appears to be his optimum trip, while Eastern Legend, Immutable and Skyquake also merits respect in a competitive handicap.

Having looked in rude health when scoring in testing conditions at the Curragh on Thursday DUTCH GOLD can follow up

LTO Selection:

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

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

Hampden and Black Run both showed promise on their respective debut runs and have to enter calculations now they are set to gain more experience. However, GAMES PEOPLE PLAY has a highly appealing pedigree for a race of this nature and Ralph Beckett's daughter of Sea The Stars offers the most intrigue as she bids to make an immediate impact. Caprelo and Anzac Day are other newcomers to monitor in the betting.

BLACK RUN shaped well when third in a newcomers event at Deauville and, with improvement expected, he's likely to have enough to open his account despite the presence of a trio of interesting newcomers in Anzac Day, Games People Play and Sam Hawkens.

LTO Selection:

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

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

CLEVER CURRENCY comes here in winning form and it looks like a nice bit of placing with a horse that has plenty of experience over fences. He scored in good style at Sligo late last month and went up 7lb for that, leaving him just a pound shy of the top mark for qualification in this race. Simon Cavanagh's 7lb claim is a help. Butterflyvespiere has a mark of 109 so just scrapes into this. She was last seen chasing home a smart sort in Heia in a Tramore beginners chase in June and has to be respected on her return. Potters Party was a faller on his chase debut at Sligo but if that hasn't left a mark he could be a big player in this company.

DUNDANIEL won nicely on his hunter debut in the spring and might be up to following up on his return. Butterflyvespiere will be a threat if reproducing the level of her Tramore second at the start of the summer, while Potters Party fell around halfway on his chase debut but his strength in the betting on that occasions suggests his leading yard thinks he can on to better things over fences.

It looks significant that POTTERS PARTY is turned out quickly after falling when favourite in a Sligo novice chase

LTO Selection:

16:30 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Having won on his chasing debut/first run for his current trainer at Worcester, LUSITANIEN was then let down by his jumping when turned over at Southwell latest. Better can be expected this time, but it would be foolish to dismiss Ideallko, given he has scope to improve on just his second start over fences. The veteran Abaya Du Mathan is a wily performer who rates as the pick of the remainder.

LUSITANIEN has made a most promising start having switched to fences since joining his new yard and a further 3 lb rise looks more than manageable in a contest which appears to lack depth. Ideallko shaped as if he'll be a better chaser than hurdler on Monday and is respected from the same mark, with Beannaigh Do another who is respected on the form of his chasing bow.

With most of these having a deal to prove, LUSITANIEN looks the logical choice.

LTO Selection:

16:35 Naas Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ALFALFA can continue the excellent form of the Tim Doyle stable by following up his recent win at Thurles. Runner-up on his previous two starts, the gelding had been very consistent prior to gaining that first career success. Although that win came over a mile-and-a-half, the son of Sir Prancealot seems adaptable tripwise having run well over nine furlongs previously. The Andrew McNamara-trained Red Trail arrives here bidding for a hat-trick having won his last two starts at Gowran and Down Royal respectively. Although climbing the handicap, the four-year-old may well have more to offer. Team of Firsts shaped well enough on two recent runs over hurdles to suggest he could well win races for new trainer Pat Flynn.

A chance is taken on LA DAME BLANCHE, who hasn't been at her best of late but she's been given a chance by the handicapper and better is expected back up in trip here in a first-time hood. Believe In Science also needs to bounce back but will have a good chance if able to do so, now 3 lb below the mark of which he was a creditable third on his reappearance in June. Alfalfa and the hat-trick seeking Red Trail are others to consider.

Alfalfa demands plenty of respect but slight preference is for FOOLS GLORY, who fairly flew home at Navan and will relish this trip

LTO Selection:

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

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

THUNDER BALL finished a respectable seventh in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket a fortnight ago and the return to this course and distance could see the three-year-old get back on the scoresheet. Kathab is unproven on the soft ground that he is likely to encounter here but William Haggas' inmate is likely to be involved if running to form. The son of Kingman may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Grey's Monument and Darkness.

A dual winner on turf this term, KATHAB posted his best effort yet when runner-up in the London Mile at Kempton 5 weeks ago, taking a while to hit full stride but finishing off strongly. Open to further improvement, he can resume winning ways back on turf. Fellow 3-y-o Grey's Monument and Thunder Ball head up the dangers.

Preference is for KATHAB, who has a solid record since handicapping and may well improve further. Thunder Ball is second choice.

LTO Selection:

16:55 Cork Handicap Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FIGHTING FIT is indeed that and his race fitness could prove the difference here. The Philip Dempsey-trained gelding confirmed Galway form over Barnacullia with a convincing success at Listowel last month and the eight-year-old has returned in great heart after his form tailed off a bit last season. He went up 10lb for his latest win but may be able to complete the hat-trick. Indiana Jones is a classy performer on his day and the top-weight could be the danger on his return. He was last seen finishing third in top level company at Punchestown and was also a Grade 3 winner last season. Mark Walsh takes the ride on Cayd Boy, owned like the selection by JP McManus. He is a smart performer on his day and also has to be considered in this.

FIGHTING FIT looks the obvious one on the back of a career best, and is preferred to Indiana Jones and Cayd Boy.

It could be worth taking a chance on CAYD BOY upsetting the more fancied, in-form Fighting Fit in the same ownership.

LTO Selection:

17:05 Ffos Las NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

WICKED THOUGHTS, who won his sole start in a point-to-point by 25 lengths, was snapped up for 135,000 pounds at the Aintree sales in April, and looks the most appealing option as Paul Nicholls introduces the gelding at a very realistic level. Call To Duty is second choice after he hinted at ability with a respectable third at Taunton in April, while Highlands Legacy is another to consider.

Having won a point by a wide margin, WICKED THOUGHTS was picked up for six figures and has now joined a top yard, so he's a confident choice to maintain his unbeaten record on Rules debut. Fellow point recruit Doyen Quest is a danger and Call To Duty showed plenty when third at Taunton 6 months ago, so he can't be ruled out.

The pick is WICKED THOUGHTS, who changed hands for a six-figure sum soon after his impressive point debut in the spring.

LTO Selection:

17:10 Naas Handicap 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Having most likely being targeted at this race for some time, FILEY BAY can prove once again how good his trainer is at lining a horse up for a particular day. No stranger to competitive big race fields, the seven-year-old was placed in both the Betfair and County Hurdle last season. Following a highly commendable fifth in the Galway Hurdle in August, he reverted to the flat to win his maiden at Tramore next time. With a subsequent run over an inadequate 7f easily ignored, he has the appearance of a well handicapped horse. Last year's third, Powerful Aggie, appears to have improved in the interim, so has to be a leading contender under Conor Stone-Walsh. Immelmann is of obvious interest towards the foot of the weights. A winner at Thurles last time, he is relatively unexposed at this trip and trainer Willie Mullins excels with such horses.

Willie Mullins saddles four live contenders and RAVING ROYAL could be the pick of them, for all that she's been absent for a year. She made a winning handicap debut at Thurles when last seen and there should be plenty more to come from this unexposed filly. Immelmann, another representing the Mullins yard, looks a big threat on the back of his recent breakthrough success in this sphere. Brogue is also shortlisted, along with smart hurdler Filey Bay, who is making his handicap debut on the Flat.

Typically wide-open with the vote going to recent Down Royal winner BROGUE, that form being franked since

Not guaranteed to back up latest effort, as he lacks consistency.
LTO Selection:

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

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

King's Code appeals as a leading candidate having won off 2lb lower at Chester last month, as does Expressionless, who recorded back-to-back successes when last seen and might have more to offer despite an 8lb rise. A chance, however, can be taken on CELTIC EMPRESS. Heather Main's mare, a former C&D winner, finished a fair fourth in the corresponding event off a 5lb higher mark last year and might appreciate the return to this track.

DREAM OF MISCHIEF is yet to meet conditions as testing as anticipated here but so eye-catching was he at Lingfield last month that he'll likely take the beating if coping well with the softer ground. King's Code proved well suited by the test of stamina when scoring at Chester last time and is highly respected, with Intercessor the pick to complete the frame.

In-form 5yo DOUBLE TIME could well record a first turf success, granted better luck than last time. Sly Madam is second choice.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Cork NH Flat Race 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It's hard to oppose Willie Mullins in bumpers at the moment, with 35 already in the bag this season, and GLOWING ACCOUNT can follow up here after an impressive debut at Listowel. The Le Havre gelding barely had to come off the bridle to score by five lengths last month and is a nice prospect. Icare D'aubrelle was also very impressive when winning his bumper but that came back in February 2022 and a long absence would be a concern. Described as 'special' by trainer Tom Cooper then it will be interesting to see how he fares on his return. Cap Bernat is also considered after a couple of decent efforts in defeat at Downpatrick.

GLOWING ACCOUNT made a winning start with loads to spare at Listowel 28 days ago and, with the scope for better, he's a confident choice to maintain his unbeaten record. Icare D'Aubrelle and Cap Bernat are the most appealing of the others.

It is difficult to oppose GLOWING ACCOUNT, who impressed with the manner of his debut win at Listowel and can improve from that too.
