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

A tricky race but, for all that he is rated in the 60s, BARLEY COVE should give a good account

13:45 Navan Handicap 6f - 23 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
25 (25) (28/1 -40%) Darcy's Rock	28 28/1(-40%)	(25) Darcy's Rock 28/1, 12/1, fifth of 10 in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, heavy) 20 days ago. Others have achieved more. RESERVE. Third reserve; not in bad form recent months but a good bit more needed.
20 1st (20) (20/1 -25%) Navorrosse	20 20/1(-25%)	(20) Navorrosse 20/1, Bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, heavy, 12/1) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Managed two wins for Pat Fahy (7f); did not quite get 1m on heavy at Bellewstown; a squeak.
22 2nd (22) (22/1 +12%) Pulse Of Shanghai	22 22/1(+12%)	(22) Pulse Of Shanghai 22/1, Thirty three runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Dundalk (8f) 26 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more appealing. Just 1-28 on Turf so hard to be confident; finished third on last visit here at least.
3 3rd (3) (9/1 +10%) Universally	9 9/1(+10%)	(3) Universally 9/1, Winner at Fairyhouse in September. Creditable fifth of 19 in handicap (17/2) at the Curragh (6f, soft) 11 days ago. Each-way claims. Ran fine race at Curragh since last win; tendency to miss break remains a concern; chance.
18 4th (18) (18/1 -29%) Stanhope	18 18/1(-29%)	(18) Stanhope 18/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, soft, 14/1) 6 days ago. Now below last winning mark. C&D winner but spurned plenty of chances since; held on latest by two of these.
9 5th (9) (10/1 +0%) Gobi Star	10 10/1(+0%)	(9) Gobi Star 10/1, Took a big step back in the right direction when second of 20 in handicap over C&D (soft) 14 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and is one for the shortlist. Yard in good form; did all bar win when second over C&D last time; no knocking his chance.
13 6th (13) (11/1 +21%) Teddy Boy	11 11/1(+21%)	(13) Teddy Boy 11/1, Course winner. Latest win at Naas in August. 10/1, creditable fourth of 20 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 14 days ago, never nearer. Yard in good form. Should continue to give a good account. Been around a long time but enthusiasm and has little to find with Gobi Star on recent run.
11 7th (11) (10/1 -67%) Conversant	10 10/1(-67%)	(11) Conversant 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Sligo in April. 16/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, soft) 6 days ago, never nearer. Visor on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. C&D winner's yard in form and so was he when not beaten far last week at Curragh.
6 8th (6) (14/1 +13%) Iva Batt	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Iva Batt 14/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form ninth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, soft, 11/1) 11 days ago. Others preferred. Tends to come from behind; of obvious interest on pick of her form but had a few chances.
4 9th (4) (11/1 -38%) Sounds Of Spring	11 11/1(-38%)	(4) Sounds Of Spring 11/1, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 15 in handicap (13/2) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 84 days ago. Not out of things. Last win came at expense of Cnodian at Curragh a year ago; C&D winner; chance.
12 10th (12) (13/2 -8%) Step Back In Time	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(12) Step Back In Time 13/2, Belatedly off the mark here (5f) last month and shaped as if still in good form since, latest when third of 10 in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, heavy) 20 days ago. Warrants respect. Won over 5f here before fine fourth to Universally at Fairyhouse; another fine run since.
10 11th (10) (25/1 -56%) My Little Tip	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) My Little Tip 25/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 6/1) 26 days ago. Back down in trip. Claims on best form. Rider booking interesting; hard otherwise to give gelding much chance.
1 12th (1) (20/1 +20%) Is That Love	20 20/1(+20%)	(1) Is That Love 20/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in August. 14/1, below form twelfth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, soft) 11 days ago. Others preferred. Claimer win in August was for another yard over farther; more out than in since and risky.
15 13th (15) (5/2 +58%) Art Of Unity	2.5 5/2(+58%)	(15) Art Of Unity 5/2, Course winner who arrives in good form and only narrowly failed to get back on the scoreboard in 14-runner handicap at the Curragh (5f, soft, 5/1) 6 days ago. Can race off same mark here and holds leading claims. Really consistent and, while his last win was (here) in 2021, he needs respect; can lead.
16 14th (16) (20/1 -100%) Inventor	20 20/1(-100%)	(16) Inventor 20/1, 15/2, respectable sixth of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good). Off 105 days. Booking of Lee a plus. Visor back on. Similar form in sixth last twice, including behinnd Cnodian; this should be run to suit.
17 15th (17) (50/1 -52%) Ever Rock	50 50/1(-52%)	(17) Ever Rock 50/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Bellewstown (5f, heavy) 20 days ago. Others more persuasive. Course winner but two last runs disappointing and exposed so percentage call to oppose.
23 16th (23) (40/1 -150%) Sister Lola	40 40/1(-150%)	(23) Sister Lola 40/1, Thirty six runs since last win in 2021. 8/1, below form 7¾ lengths eleventh of 24 to Teddy Boy in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft) 72 days ago, slowly away. Chance if rediscovering old form. RESERVE. First reserve; poor record on grass, her sole win outside of Dundalk coming on soft.
21 17th (21) (125/1 -213%) No Speed Limit	125 125/1(-213%)	(21) No Speed Limit 125/1, Three wins from 68 Flat runs. Sixth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (6f) 26 days ago. Rejoined yard after leaving George Baker. Others more persuasive. Back with Pat McKenna after fruitless few months in Britain; 5-79, he's 1-30 on Turf.
7 18th (7) (125/1 -213%) That's Mad	125 125/1(-213%)	(7) That's Mad 125/1, Blinkered for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, heavy, 40/1) 21 days ago. Work to do. Seems badly in decline last couple of years and can only watch.
5 19th (5) (20/1 -43%) Cnodian	20 20/1(-43%)	(5) Cnodian 20/1, Below form eighth of 19 in handicap (9/2) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 6 days ago. Stable having good spell. Needs a couple of these to falter. Tends to travel well but risky now under inexperienced rider; ready for drop back in trip.
14 20th (14) (40/1 +20%) Takana	40 40/1(+20%)	(14) Takana 40/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 25/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, soft) 6 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Yard in fine form; she needs to find some improvement and latest Curragh run offputting.
19 21st (19) (50/1 -52%) Eruption	50 50/1(-52%)	(19) Eruption 50/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Dundalk (5f) 12 days ago. Can make presence felt. Another with a chance at her best but last two runs were poor so cannot be confident.
2 22nd (2) (33/1 +0%) Trumble	33 33/1(+0%)	(2) Trumble 33/1, Last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/1). Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving David Loughnane. Won four races (AW) for David Loughnane in Britain; 0-7 on Turf and off since last year.

A minefield but some are pretty solid. STEP BACK IN TIME is one of the more obvious. Gobi Star is an obvious contender

13:53 Wetherby Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
11 1st (11) (13/8 +60%) My Chiquita	1.625 13/8(+60%)	(11) My Chiquita 13/8, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m) and perfect start over hurdles when off the mark in a Sedgefield maiden (19.8f) 15 days ago, just shaken up to assert. Open to improvement with that under her belt. 1m2f/1m4f winner; added a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield without too much fuss.
2 2nd (2) (11/8 +31%) Bob Bob Ricard	1.375 11/8(+31%)	(2) Bob Bob Ricard 11/8, 5-y-o who displayed promise all 3 starts in bumpers, chasing home a promising Rock House at Huntingdon (15.8f) back in April. No reason why he won't make his mark over hurdles and one to consider back from 6 months off. Placed in all three bumpers and his latest Huntingdon form has worked out well.
6 3rd (6) (50/1 -25%) Magical Arthur	50 50/1(-25%)	(6) Magical Arthur 50/1, Imposing sort who makes some appeal on pedigree and he offered more than previously when fifth of 11 in bumper at Newcastle (16.9f) back in May. Interesting what the market makes of him now attentions switch to timber. No worse for the tongue-tie when fifth in a Newcastle bumper but others have shown more.
8 4th (8) (7/1 +7%) Paddy O'mahler	7 7/1(+7%)	(8) Paddy O'mahler 7/1, Mahler gelding who made a bright start to his career when placed in a pair of course bumpers earlier this year and may have found relatively quick turnaround against him when fifth at Hexham (16.2f) on final outing in April. Longer trip promises to suit now switched to hurdles. His bumper form is up there and should be a factor with a clean round.
5 5th (5) (50/1 -257%) Indian Sunbird	50 50/1(-257%)	(5) Indian Sunbird 50/1, Fair form at best when placed twice in bumpers but hasn't run to same level over hurdles, albeit hampered when unseating early on in a Uttoxeter maiden (20f) 5 weeks ago. Still, likely best watched here. Placed in bumpers and a maiden hurdle but has failed to complete the last twice.
12 6th (12) (7/1 -75%) Arctic Fox	7 7/1(-75%)	(12) Arctic Fox 7/1, Fairly useful stayer on the Flat who completed for first time over hurdles when runner-up in a mares' maiden at Bangor (16.6f) 6 weeks ago, not recover having lost momentum at the last. Likely she can do better still in this sphere. Five Flat wins; lost both her front shoes when a beaten favourite at Bangor.
4 7th (4) (200/1 -203%) Empty Nest	200 200/1(-203%)	(4) Empty Nest 200/1, Maiden Irish pointer who made a discouraging start to his Rules career when pulled up in a Hexham novice hurdle (16.2f) 12 days ago, losing touch end of backstraight. Modest in points and he was tailed off when pulled up in a novice.
10 8th (10) (80/1 -142%) Jaxonne	80 80/1(-142%)	(10) Jaxonne 80/1, Free Port Lux gelding. 22/1, offered little when tailed-off last of 19 in bumper at Newbury (16.3f, soft) on debut in March. Goes hurdling now but yard look to hold much stronger claims with Bob Bob Ricard. Finished a tailed-off last in a valuable Newbury bumper in March when 22-1.
13 9th (13) (150/1 -275%) Riccirella	150 150/1(-275%)	(13) Riccirella 150/1, Showed fair form when reaching the frame in a pair of Southwell bumpers in June, but offered little on Flat debut at Carlisle the following month and no short-term promise in couple of hurdle tries subsequently. Probably one for low-grade handicaps in due course. Looked a tricky ride when tailed off behind My Chiquita at Sedgefield..
3 \|F\| (3) (12/1 -50%) Coup De Coeur	12 12/1(-50%)	(3) Coup De Coeur 12/1, Fairly useful maiden hurdler/chaser in France who ran up to his best in this sphere when 6 lengths third (promoted to second) of 8 in handicap at La Teste (16.9f) on final start in June 2022. Starts out for new yard now and interesting what the market makes of him. Useful form in defeat when trained in France; absent since July 2022.
1 \|PU\| (1) (250/1 -67%) Ask My Heather	250 250/1(-67%)	(1) Ask My Heather 250/1, Well held all 4 starts in bumpers and fared no better on back of wind op/6 months off when pulled up on hurdles bow at Kelso (20.9f) 10 days ago. Can only be watched. Struggled in his four bumpers and the same again when 150-1 for recent hurdling debut.

LTO Selection:

13:53 Wetherby Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

My Chiquita and Arctic Fox are respected but BOB BOB RICARD has to be of interest on the strength of his final bumper run.

14:05 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (8/11 +39%) Valvano	0.727273 8/11(+39%)	(6) Valvano 8/11, Foaled May 14. 220,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder colt. Closely related to 8.6f winner Battista and half-brother to useful 11.6f/1½m winner Valsad. Very interesting newcomer with leading stable having a fine season and he's one to consider. 220,000gns yearling; yard going well with 2yos, including some winning newcomers of late.
5 2nd (5) (13/2 -189%) Tokyo Bay	6.5 13/2(-189%)	(5) Tokyo Bay 13/2, Foaled April 23. Lope De Vega colt. Half-brother to several winners, including very smart 1¼m/10.4f winner Danadana and useful 1¾m-16.6f winner Zeeband and useful 1¼m-1¾m winner Semeen. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and worth considering on debut. From a family that has served his owner well; stable is having a great season with 2yos.
2 3rd (2) (10/3 +63%) Contacto	3.333333 10/3(+63%)	(2) Contacto 10/3, Study of Man colt. Sent off at long odds and made an unpromising start when fifteenth of 17 in maiden at Newmarket (1m, good to firm, 80/1) on debut 20 days ago. In good hands however, and this should reveal more. Never figured in big-field maiden at Newmarket; may do better in this race.
4 4th (4) (10/1 -186%) Mount Dukono	10 10/1(-186%)	(4) Mount Dukono 10/1, Foaled May 15. Le Havre colt. Brother to smart winner up to 10.5f Avenir Certain and half-brother to French 1¼m winner Adjudant Chef and Japanese 6f winner Jingle Bell Rock. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner (stayed 1m). Market should guide on debut. Brother to French 1,000 Guineas/French Oaks winner Avenir Certain; check the betting.
1 5th (1) (80/1 -21%) Believitanducan	80 80/1(-21%)	(1) Believitanducan 80/1, Once-raced gelding. Offered little when seventh of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (1m, 100/1) on debut 37 days ago. Passed over here. Soundly beaten in 1m AW maiden at Newcastle.
3 6th (3) (40/1 -43%) Godsend	40 40/1(-43%)	(3) Godsend 40/1, Twice-raced colt. Last of 7 in maiden at this C&D (heavy, 28/1) 14 days ago, going in snatches and always behind. Likely type for handicaps over further in due course. Comfortably held in two maidens.

14:15 Navan Maiden 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (10/11 +60%) Heavenly Being	0.909091 10/11(+60%)	(7) Heavenly Being 10/11, Thrice-raced filly. Fourth of 13 in maiden (11/4) at Cork (5f, soft) 22 days ago, slowly away. Likely to be on the premises in a weak event. Similar form in her three runs and likely to be in the mix once more.
6 2nd (6) (4/1 +43%) Beano Power	4 4/1(+43%)	(6) Beano Power 4/1, Lightly-raced filly. 12/1, sixth of 8 in nursery at Cork (6f, soft) 22 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Not yet exposed and could have a bigger effort in her. Beaten off a mark of 70 on her handicap debut, finishing sixth in a field of eight.
3 3rd (3) (14/1 +30%) Hasshoffman	14 14/1(+30%)	(3) Hasshoffman 14/1, Lightly-raced colt. Blinkered for 1st time, good sixth of 11 in nursery at this course (5.8f, soft, 14/1) 14 days ago. More required. 0-5 and looking exposed as moderate having failed to land a blow in two nurseries.
1 4th (1) (25/1 +11%) Babyface	25 25/1(+11%)	(1) Babyface 25/1, Once-raced colt. 18/1, fifteenth of 18 in maiden at this course (5.8f, soft) on debut 14 days ago. Yard in good form. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Went off 18-1 here two weeks ago and finished well down the field; now tongue tied.
8 5th (8) (4/1 +75%) Mama Bear	4 4/1(+75%)	(8) Mama Bear 4/1, Foaled February 2. Footstepsinthesand filly. Dam, 5f/6f winner, half-sister to useful sprinter Rough Diamond. Lacks experience but bred to be decent and pedigree all speed.
5 6th (5) (15/2 +46%) Answer Me Nay	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(5) Answer Me Nay 15/2, Thrice-raced filly. 10/3, seventh of 10 in maiden at this course (8f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Needs to improve. Well held at 5f, 6f and 1m, latterly in a maiden claimer here.

14:20 Bath Stakes (Class 5) 10f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (1/1 +60%) Calvert	1 1/1(+60%)	(4) Calvert 1/1, Similar form all 3 starts, fourth of 8 in novice event (11/2) at this course (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Respected. Sets standard on his best form and this new trip should suit on pedigree; key player.
1 2nd (1) (7/4 -7%) Mister Daydream	1.75 7/4(-7%)	(1) Mister Daydream 7/4, Winner here in September. 10/1, fourth of 7 in nursery at Ayr (8f, good) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Form pick. Won a nursery here (1m) on penultimate run and he's a key player back in a novice.
2 3rd (2) (7/1 +13%) Battle Of Omdurman	7 7/1(+13%)	(2) Battle Of Omdurman 7/1, 72,000 gns foal, 30,000 gns yearling, Churchill colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Eternal Class. Dam unraced, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Lady of Dubai. 8/1, green when eighth of 9 in novice at Kempton (8f) on debut 40 days ago. May do better. Finished in rear at Kempton last month and he needs a transformation upped in trip.
5 4th (5) (7/1 -133%) Freds Mate	7 7/1(-133%)	(5) Freds Mate 7/1, Foaled May 27. €32,000 yearling, resold €32,000 yearling, Gleneagles colt. Closely related to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Sir Walter Scott and 1¾m winner Galileano. Dam 1m winner. Interesting newcomer. Well-bred stablemate of Mister Daydream and market should guide on debut.
6 5th (6) (150/1 -127%) You And Whose Army	150 150/1(-127%)	(6) You And Whose Army 150/1, €14,000 foal, €3,000 yearling. Half-brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Leoube (by Kodiac). Dam maiden half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Lady Deauville out of French Group 11/2m winner Mercalle. 40/1, last of 10 in maiden at this course (8f, good) on debut 32 days ago. Up in trip.

14:25 Wetherby Handicap Chase (Class 3) 15f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (5/2 +55%) Homme Public	2.5 5/2(+55%)	(1) Homme Public 5/2, Likeable sort who had another good campaign last season, winning twice. Excuses in the Swinton Hurdle final start and is an interesting recruit to chasing. Useful 2m hurdler; can cope with this mark and there are chasers in the family.
3 2nd (3) (4/1 +20%) Geromino	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Geromino 4/1, Made most of good opportunities to bag 4 small-field chase events (at up to 20.3f) last summer. Back to that level when second at Bangor and Kelso last 2 starts and can go well again. Back on track with recent seconds; unlikely to be far away off an untouched mark.
8 3rd (8) (7/1 -17%) Garde Des Champs	7 7/1(-17%)	(8) Garde Des Champs 7/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark in convincing fashion over hurdles at Perth in June on final start for Keith Dalgleish. Seemingly amiss on yard debut 77 days ago but was reliable for previous yard. Makes chase debut (placed in Irish points). Only 1-13 as a hurdler; had wind surgery since last seen and now goes chasing.
7 4th (7) (10/1 +17%) Cracking Destiny	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Cracking Destiny 10/1, Returned to winning ways when taking handicap at Stratford in July and better effort there since when runner-up 19 days later. Needs to shrug off a disappointing run at Kelso last time, however. Well held in his last couple of runs, latterly behind Geromino.
5 5th (5) (40/1 -122%) Slanelough	40 40/1(-122%)	(5) Slanelough 40/1, Returned to form when springing a minor surprise to land 6-runner handicap at Newcastle in November. Disappointed next 3 starts, though. Won at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) in November but straight back into the doldrums.
6 6th (6) (10/3 +26%) Grand Voyage	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(6) Grand Voyage 10/3, Progressive, dual winner over hurdles who improved to make second chase start a winning one at Ayr (20.5f) in November. Held form well in defeat since and should make presence felt again on return. Solid record over fences this past year but may ideally prefer a longer distance.
2 7th (2) (5/1 +29%) Hasankey	5 5/1(+29%)	(2) Hasankey 5/1, Made excellent strides over fences as a novice and while he failed to win last term, there were plenty of decent placed efforts, including when just denied at Ayr on return. Player. In excellent form when last seen and went close on last season's reappearance.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (11/8 -10%) Beeley	1.375 11/8(-10%)	(2) Beeley 11/8, Promising sort. 9/2, second of 6 in maiden at this C&D (heavy) on debut 14 days ago, edging ahead 2f out and headed close home. Forecast conditions fine and she's of interest with progress anticipated. Promising debut in maiden here two weeks ago, going down by only a whisker; respected.
1 (1) (80/1 -21%) Barafundle Bay	80 80/1(-21%)	(1) Barafundle Bay 80/1, Foaled March 15. Dartmouth filly. Dam, French 2-y-o 1m winner, half-sister to useful 5f-1½m winner Torrid Hell and winner up to 2m Royal Menantie. Debutante by Dartmouth; yard is 0-40 with 2yos in last five seasons.
8 1st (8) (2/1 +80%) Treasure	2 2/1(+80%)	(8) Treasure 2/1, Foaled April 6. Mastercraftsman filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1¼m), half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Mandaean out of useful 2-y-o 1m winner Summertime Legacy. Betting should guide with yard also saddling Frightening. Filly by Mastercraftsman; one of two interesting newcomers for Ralph Beckett.
7 2nd (7) (11/4 +45%) Time Loop	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(7) Time Loop 11/4, Foaled April 21. 160,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega filly. Half-sister to useful 1m-1¼m winner Night Battle and 9f winner Startup Mentality. One to note on debut. 160,000gns yearling; Lope De Vega half-sister to two winners; one to consider.
3 3rd (3) (16/5 +9%) Frightening	3.2 16/5(+9%)	(3) Frightening 16/5, Foaled February 23. 260,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder filly. Dam British/French 1m/8.3f winner from a very good family. Trainer’s newcomers command respect. 260,000gns yearling; by Night Of Thunder; stable is going well with 2yos; interesting.
5 4th (5) (14/1 +13%) Queen's Request	14 14/1(+13%)	(5) Queen's Request 14/1, Foaled March 19. Saxon Warrior filly. Dam, 1¼m-1¾m winner (likely to have stayed 2m), closely related to useful 2-y-o 6f-1m winner (stayed 1¼m) Montataire. One for longer trips next year, if taking after her dam.
9 5th (9) (50/1 +0%) Waldora	50 50/1(+0%)	(9) Waldora 50/1, Waldgeist filly from excellent family who looked green and was unable to get involved when seventh of 8 on debut in fillies' event at Chantilly (1m, soft) 3 weeks ago. This should reveal more but she's best watched. Achieved little in 1m contest at Chantilly on debut.
4 6th (4) (11/2 +21%) Lisbon Heat	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(4) Lisbon Heat 11/2, Once-raced filly. 8/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at this C&D (heavy) on debut 22 days ago, making headway 1f out without threatening. Hood on 1st time. Should improve. Showed some promise in maiden here last month; open to improvement.
6 7th (6) (14/1 +0%) Simple Endeavour	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Simple Endeavour 14/1, 800,000 gns yearling, Dubawi filly. Still green but she improved on debut form when fifth of 7 in a C&D maiden 3 weeks ago, weakening last ½f. In good hands and likely she can do better further down the line. Looks the type to find better opportunities in handicaps shortly.

Form	Odds	Runs
13 1st (13) (5/4 +0%) Greek Flower	1.25 5/4(+0%)	(13) Greek Flower 5/4, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 12 Flat runs. Good second of 8 in maiden at Down Royal (7f, soft, 2/1) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. Sets a high standard. 70-rated filly, placed in six of her 12 races, well exposed but has plenty going for her.
9 2nd (9) (5/1 -11%) Nouvel Espoir	5 5/1(-11%)	(9) Nouvel Espoir 5/1, Once-raced gelding. 80/1, third of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft) on debut 25 days ago, slowly away. Outran his odds when third on debut over 6f at the Curragh, Never Cry Never sixth then.
11 3rd (11) (17/2 +39%) Cholita	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(11) Cholita 17/2, Modest filly. 28/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form eighth of 21 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 46 days ago, never nearer. Reasonable form in sprint handicaps but has a tough task given her current rating of 52.
12 4th (12) (14/1 +13%) Ferrari Desert	14 14/1(+13%)	(12) Ferrari Desert 14/1, Fair filly. Ninth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at Dundalk (5f) 12 days ago, not much room. Looks vulnerable. Shaped well with C&D third on soft ground here in May, not as effective since on good.
8 5th (8) (5/1 +55%) Never Cry Never	5 5/1(+55%)	(8) Never Cry Never 5/1, Once-raced colt. Sixth of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft, 20/1) on debut 25 days ago. Lack of experience was a factor at the Curragh but concerning that he got outpaced over 6f.
4 6th (4) (9/2 -13%) First Gentleman	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(4) First Gentleman 9/2, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Eighth of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft, 11/2) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Clear prospects on his best form but there are several negatives attached to his profile.
2 7th (2) (16/1 +0%) Billboa	16 16/1(+0%)	(2) Billboa 16/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 16/1, ninth of 12 in maiden at Tipperary (5f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Promise over 6f on debut at Dundalk in March, two lesser turf runs dent confidence.
15 8th (15) (80/1 -100%) Second Fiddle	80 80/1(-100%)	(15) Second Fiddle 80/1, Modest filly. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 66/1, below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Down Royal (7f, soft) 23 days ago, missing break. Back down in trip. Showed some promise when 250-1 chance over C&D in May on the last of six maiden runs.
14 9th (14) (33/1 -65%) Mimosa Park	33 33/1(-65%)	(14) Mimosa Park 33/1, Lightly-raced filly. Blinkered for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, below form seventh of 15 in maiden (40/1) at Naas (7f, soft) 4 days ago, slowly away. Down in trip. Third in a 7f Leopardstown maiden in May, below that form in three subsequent starts.
17 10th (17) (80/1 -142%) Wild Eyed Girl	80 80/1(-142%)	(17) Wild Eyed Girl 80/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 80/1, twenty third of 24 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft) 72 days ago. Modest form since showing some ability as a juvenile, rating down 18lb from a high of 67.
3 11th (3) (150/1 -127%) Ceres Ring	150 150/1(-127%)	(3) Ceres Ring 150/1, Poor gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Fourteenth of 19 in handicap (50/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 6 days ago. Back down in trip. No apparent change in a maiden judging by his basement handicap rating.
1 12th (1) (22/1 +33%) Beaumadier	22 22/1(+33%)	(1) Beaumadier 22/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Tongue strap on for 1st time, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Cork (6f, soft, 18/1) 22 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Best display when runner-up in a 5f maiden at Cork in April, not at that level since;.
7 13th (7) (100/1 -100%) Haalim	100 100/1(-100%)	(7) Haalim 100/1, Once-raced gelding. 33/1 and tongue strap on, seventh of 8 in maiden at Down Royal (7f, soft) on debut 23 days ago. Down in trip. Slowly away and never involved on debut over 7f at Down Royal, shorter trip hardly ideal.
5 14th (5) (200/1 -33%) Ginnos Port	200 200/1(-33%)	(5) Ginnos Port 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. Last of 13 in maiden (200/1) at this course (10f, good to soft) 46 days ago, downed tools. Significantly down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Leanne Breen. Towards the rear first time out at Dundalk, tailed off last at Navan, new stable now.
6 15th (6) (250/1 -67%) Go Til Its Over	250 250/1(-67%)	(6) Go Til Its Over 250/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Last of 11 in maiden (250/1) at Dundalk (7f) 12 days ago, slowly away. Down in trip. Has finished last on all four starts, drop in trip is unlikely to make a big difference..

14:52 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
14 1st (14) (22/1 -57%) Giddy Aunt	22 22/1(-57%)	(14) Giddy Aunt 22/1, 11/2, good third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Enters calculations. 0-12 but she's gone close in two of her last three runs including over C&D; shortlisted.
6 2nd (6) (9/2 +10%) Apache Star	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(6) Apache Star 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. 6/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 14 days ago. Should give another good account. Two C&D wins since July and he made a bold bid at Nottingham last time; big player.
1 3rd (1) (13/2 -30%) Sarah's Verse	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(1) Sarah's Verse 13/2, 3-time C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good, 9/2) 23 days ago. On a handy mark and goes well at this track. Four-time course winner who is on a workable mark and has possibilities back at this track.
4 4th (4) (9/1 +36%) Vinaka	9 9/1(+36%)	(4) Vinaka 9/1, Winner at Epsom in August. 16/1, good third of 12 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 8 days ago (second past the post but subsequently disqualified). One to consider. Went close at Leicester last week and she's on same mark here; dangerous back in trip.
13 5th (13) (8/1 -7%) Kitbag	8 8/1(-7%)	(13) Kitbag 8/1, Good second of 8 in handicap (6/4) at Lingfield (6f, AW), well positioned. Off 6 months. Solid claims if he's ready to go. Runner-up on AW last twice and he's still unexposed on turf; needs market check on return.
3 6th (3) (9/2 +18%) Connie's Rose	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(3) Connie's Rose 9/2, 4 wins from 15 runs this year. 15/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (5f, soft) 16 days ago, just holding on. Makes plenty of appeal. Four wins this season including in the mud here (5f) last time; respected back up in trip.
7 7th (7) (14/1 +13%) Hey Mr	14 14/1(+13%)	(7) Hey Mr 14/1, Latest win at Nottingham in June. 12/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 14 days ago. Not discounted. Went close off this mark in July but he's not hit the same level since; needs to find more.
10 8th (10) (11/1 +8%) Autumn Angel	11 11/1(+8%)	(10) Autumn Angel 11/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 9/2, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good) 70 days ago. Excuses for last 2 runs and can't be ruled out. Narrow win over C&D in July but she's taken two backward steps here since.
12 9th (12) (66/1 -100%) Fair And Square	66 66/1(-100%)	(12) Fair And Square 66/1, C&D winner. One win from 42 Flat runs. Winner here in August. Eighth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D (firm) 42 days ago, going off too hard. Not easy to make a case for. Finally off the mark over C&D in August but was well held back in a handicap last month.
5 10th (5) (15/2 +38%) Ultramarine	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(5) Ultramarine 15/2, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Eighth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Inconsistent 17-race maiden who was well held on soft at Goodwood latest; down the list.
9 11th (9) (28/1 +15%) Conquest Of Power	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) Conquest Of Power 28/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D (soft) 16 days ago. Has a bit to prove at present. Still lightly raced but was beaten 10l at a big price over C&D on his recent comeback.
2 12th (2) (10/1 +50%) Concierge	10 10/1(+50%)	(2) Concierge 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Brighton in September. 15/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 14 days ago. Disappointing in hat-trick bid latest but remains well treated on old form and is 2-3 here.
11 13th (11) (12/1 +0%) Symbol Of Hope	12 12/1(+0%)	(11) Symbol Of Hope 12/1, 5-time course winner. 14/1, below form seventh of 13 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive. Five-time course winner but he's faded here in his last four runs; needs a revival.
15 14th (15) (200/1 -203%) Kwiz	200 200/1(-203%)	(15) Kwiz 200/1, Seventh of 8 in maiden at Lingfield (5f, AW, 100/1) 49 days ago. Hard to make a case for. In rear in all of his eight starts and he's 4lb out of the weights here.

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (0.57/1 +65%) I Still Have Faith	0.57 0.57/1(+65%)	(5) I Still Have Faith 0.57/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m), successful 4 times in 2023, runner-up last time. Trainer has done very well with similar types in short time training, so he's worth chancing on first go in this discipline. The best of these on the Flat and has been in really good form of late.
9 2nd (9) (2.25/1 +36%) Weigh Anchor	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(9) Weigh Anchor 2.25/1, Fair maiden on the Flat and showed something to work on when fourth in a juvenile at Sedgefield on hurdling debut 15 days ago. Likely to step up on that, so worthy of respect. Placed on the Flat and it was a respectable start over hurdles when 4th at Sedgefield.
7 3rd (7) (14/1 +65%) Walk The Moon	14 14/1(+65%)	(7) Walk The Moon 14/1, Closely related to smart hurdler First Street (2m-21f winner, by Golden Horn) but hard to imagine he'll make a big impact on hurdling debut given how little he has achieved on the Flat. Didn't have many goes on the Flat (0-6) but showed only modest form from 7f to 1m4f.
3 4th (3) (20/1 -43%) Common Acclaim	20 20/1(-43%)	(3) Common Acclaim 20/1, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat, stays 7.5f. Stamina is a major concern on first go over hurdles. Best Flat form was at trips shy of 1m, so stamina looks an issue for hurdling.
4 5th (4) (50/1 +0%) Finn Russell	50 50/1(+0%)	(4) Finn Russell 50/1, Has lost his way on the Flat and didn't offer any encouragement in a juvenile at Market Rasen on hurdling debut. Inferior to some of these on the Flat and he was 50-1 when tailed off at Market Rasen.
6 6th (6) (80/1 -21%) Lukla	80 80/1(-21%)	(6) Lukla 80/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, soft, 50/1) 30 days ago. Unlikely to feature on hurdling debut. 14-race Flat maiden who was tailed off last time when soft ground was no excuse.
2 \|PU\| (2) (8/1 -78%) Bingley Crocker	8 8/1(-78%)	(2) Bingley Crocker 8/1, Dam half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Albany. Has shown ability on the Flat (predominantly for Harry Dunlop) and looks an interesting recruit to this sphere. Fair Flat maiden; should make presence felt if staying the trip over hurdles.
8 \|PU\| (8) (80/1 +20%) Capla Quest	80 80/1(+20%)	(8) Capla Quest 80/1, Little form in varied events on Flat. Makes little appeal on hurdling debut. Limited Flat maiden at trips up to 1m4f; unlikely to be the answer to this.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (15/2 +38%) Tipsy Tiger	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(4) Tipsy Tiger 15/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in maiden (14/1) at Yarmouth (9.1f, good to soft) 29 days ago, fading final 1f. Previous Kempton third contained promise and switch to handicaps rates a plus now dropped back down in trip. Bred to do better still, being out of a multiple winner for his connections; interesting.
6 2nd (6) (5/1 -43%) Roman Secret	5 5/1(-43%)	(6) Roman Secret 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in nursery at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft, 14/1) 26 days ago, shaken up over 2f out and one paced. Increase in trip needs to bring about some improvement. Ties in with Buttercross Flyer on latest effort; possibilities off 4lb lower.
8 3rd (8) (3/1 +14%) Amayretto	3 3/1(+14%)	(8) Amayretto 3/1, 11/8, career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago, well on top finish. Worth considering on that evidence if proving as effective under these much softer conditions. Off the mark at Redcar last time; may have more to offer in handicaps; respected.
3 4th (3) (8/1 +11%) May	8 8/1(+11%)	(3) May 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 9 in minor event (11/2) at Beverley (7.4f, heavy) 28 days ago. Switch to handicaps rates a plus provided conditions don't catch her out. Consistent promise at maiden/novice level; open to progress in handicaps; solid chance.
1 5th (1) (5/1 +33%) Between Me And U	5 5/1(+33%)	(1) Between Me And U 5/1, Winner at Ffos Las (1m, soft) in August. First run since leaving Ivan Furtado when sixth of 7 in nursery (15/2) at Ripon (8f, good) 18 days ago, left behind approaching final 1f. Still, no forlorn hope returned to softer ground. Came up short off revised mark on debut for new yard; unlikely to defy top weight.
2 6th (2) (9/2 +10%) Buttercross Flyer	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(2) Buttercross Flyer 9/2, Winner at Newcastle in August. Creditable second of 6 in nursery at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft, 7/2) 26 days ago, rallying without proving a match for winner. Unexposed at 1m and she's fancied to go well again. Front-running filly; largely consistent over 7f; likely player if she stays new trip.
10 7th (10) (11/1 -38%) This Years Love	11 11/1(-38%)	(10) This Years Love 11/1, Havana Gold gelding who has looked a work-in-progress in trio of maiden/novice events at up to 7f. Debut third at Pontefract contained definite promise and he's a likely improver now attentions switch to handicaps. May improve now handicapping and upped to 1m.
9 8th (9) (22/1 -38%) Silver Shamrock	22 22/1(-38%)	(9) Silver Shamrock 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, back on track when third of 7 in maiden at Yarmouth (8f, soft) 27 days ago, staying on final 1f. Not discounted making nursery debut. Improved effort upped to 1m last time; could go well again.
5 9th (5) (40/1 -344%) Bella Wella	40 40/1(-344%)	(5) Bella Wella 40/1, Won a weak race on 7f Carlisle debut in July and folded tamely when last of 11 at York a fortnight later. Given a break subsequently but opening mark demands improvement now switched to handicaps. Form of debut win looks weak; failed to beat a rival at York later in July.

15:20 Navan Handicap 5f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (9/2 +36%) Screen Siren	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(4) Screen Siren 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Good fourth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at the Curragh (5f, soft) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. One to consider. Returned to 5f she was close up after a troubled run at the Curragh 11 days ago.
9 2nd (9) (5/2 +55%) Rathbranchurch	2.5 5/2(+55%)	(9) Rathbranchurch 5/2, Course winner. Winner here in October. Good third of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, soft, 5/1) 6 days ago. One for the shortlist. Recent course winner who put up another bold show last week; solid claims.
6 3rd (6) (14/1 -75%) Mehman	14 14/1(-75%)	(6) Mehman 14/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year. 9/1, below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 64 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Darren Bunyan. Difficult ask. Hasn't been close to his best since returning from a break.
8 4th (8) (14/1 -56%) Distillate	14 14/1(-56%)	(8) Distillate 14/1, 8/1, bit below form 2¾ lengths fifth of 20 to Rathbranchurch in handicap at this course (5.8f, soft) 14 days ago. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights for now. Fifth of 20 here two weeks ago and should be on the scene once more.
5 5th (5) (5/1 +17%) Curraheen Princess	5 5/1(+17%)	(5) Curraheen Princess 5/1, Three-time C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form ninth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, soft, 10/1) 25 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Has good chance on pick of form. Faced a tough task two runs back and got upset in the stalls last time; respected.
7 6th (7) (15/2 -36%) Sunday Sovereign	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(7) Sunday Sovereign 15/2, Won 19-runner handicap at the Curragh (6f, soft, 9/1) 11 days ago, digging deep. More needed here up 6 lb. Didn't have much in hand at the Curragh 11 days ago and he's 6lb higher for this.
1 7th (1) (6/1 -9%) Collective Power	6 6/1(-9%)	(1) Collective Power 6/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 15 runs this year. 11/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (5.8f, soft) 14 days ago. Yard having good spell. Likely to continue in form. Assured stamina for 6f will come in handy over this far should conditions turn testing.
3 8th (3) (11/1 -100%) Hallowed Time	11 11/1(-100%)	(3) Hallowed Time 11/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, good second of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good) 53 days ago. Can make presence felt. Second at the Curragh last time and the expected softer ground shouldn't hold him back.
10 9th (10) (22/1 +12%) Spirit Of Eagles	22 22/1(+12%)	(10) Spirit Of Eagles 22/1, Winner at Down Royal in July. 26 lengths eighteenth of 19 to Sunday Sovereign in handicap at the Curragh (6f, soft, 20/1) 11 days ago. Near miss at Down Royal before running no race at the Curragh 11 days ago.
11 10th (11) (50/1 -100%) Bonny Power	50 50/1(-100%)	(11) Bonny Power 50/1, One win from 3 runs this year. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Naas (5f, heavy, 9/1), unable to sustain effort. Off 6 months. Yard in good form. Hood on 1st time. Something to find on form. Seems to need good ground or the AW, so the forecast rain is not welcomed.
2 11th (2) (18/1 -13%) Tai Sing Yeh	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) Tai Sing Yeh 18/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 22 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in September. 20/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft) 4 days ago. Others more persuasive. Poor at the weekend but he's a durable veteran who could bounce back.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (4/1 +27%) Dashing Harry	4 4/1(+27%)	(3) Dashing Harry 4/1, £26,000 yearling, Harry Angel colt. Dam, runner-up at 7f, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Make Time out of winning half-sister to high-class sprinter Overdose. Much improved from debut when fourth of 11 in novice at Salisbury (6f, soft) 47 days ago. Open to further progress. Promising fourth at Salisbury latest and he's open to more progress on this drop in trip.
4 2nd (4) (10/1 -43%) Jungle Jim	10 10/1(-43%)	(4) Jungle Jim 10/1, Easily best effort in maidens when second of 11 at Thirsk (5f, heavy) penultimate start. Promising second at Thirsk in August but he weakened quickly on soft at Nottingham latest.
1 3rd (1) (10/3 -67%) Blue Storm	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(1) Blue Storm 10/3, Debut winner at Newmarket. Not matched that 2 starts since, third of 4 in novice at Hamilton (5f, good to soft, evens) 24 days ago, finding little. Hood on 1st time. Needs to recapture debut form under a penalty. Newmarket winner who ran respectably behind useful prospect at Hamilton latest; respected.
7 4th (7) (8/11 +42%) Rawaasi	0.727273 8/11(+42%)	(7) Rawaasi 8/11, Best effort when second of 10 in novice at Kempton (6f) 21 days ago, having run of race. Merits consideration. Placed in all four runs and she could find more on this drop to 5f; big player.
2 5th (2) (22/1 -10%) Clyde Bay	22 22/1(-10%)	(2) Clyde Bay 22/1, Cable Bay colt. Brother to useful winner up to 6f Jouska and half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 7f Wasim and 2-y-o 6f winner Object. Seventh of 8 in novice at Epsom (7f, good to firm, 10/1) on debut 34 days ago, missing break. Down in trip. Should progress. Finished in rear at Epsom and he needs major improvement on this drop to 5f.
8 6th (8) (22/1 +33%) Talking Rubbish	22 22/1(+33%)	(8) Talking Rubbish 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. Better effort when third of 7 in maiden (150/1) at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Some promise when third at Sandown latest but she needs another big step forward here.
5 7th (5) (80/1 -186%) Badosa	80 80/1(-186%)	(5) Badosa 80/1, 33/1, fourth of 5 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, soft) 16 days ago, met some trouble. Hooded for 1st time. Well held in two runs on slow ground at Hamilton, with a best RPR of 47; hood now added.

15:33 Wetherby Handicap Chase (Class 3) 19f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (28/1 -133%) Arthur's Quay	28 28/1(-133%)	(5) Arthur's Quay 28/1, Won 3 on the bounce last winter and back on the scoresheet with a decisive display at Cartmel (21.2f, good to soft) when last seen in July. That represented a career-best, but he'll need to take another step forward in order to follow up off 6 lb higher in this stronger race. Four chase wins since last winter; back from break today; further progress not ruled out.
8 1st (8) (12/1 +25%) Getaway Luv	12 12/1(+25%)	(8) Getaway Luv 12/1, Scored at Cartmel in July and would have won at Uttoxeter last month but for unseating 2 out (several lengths to the good at the time). However, he proved rather disappointing at Kelso 7 days later and needs more now that his new mark has kicked in. Unlucky not to win two starts ago but 5lb higher in a stronger race today.
2 2nd (2) (15/2 -7%) Mackenberg	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(2) Mackenberg 15/2, Won his first 5 chase starts, the latest off a 2 lb higher mark over this trip at Doncaster last November. However, he ended last season on a downer (generally not jumping/travelling well in his races) and resumes here with a bit to prove. Began last season with two wins; had some jumping issues after turn of the year.
6 3rd (6) (11/2 +45%) Northern Bound	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(6) Northern Bound 11/2, Below par in 5 appearances this year, but now 8 lb below the mark off which he gained the third of his 3 wins in 2022 at Newbury last November. Has undergone another wind op since latest start and he will certainly have a chance if on-song. Ran poorly last month but has a lot in his favour here and has slipped to a very good mark.
9 4th (9) (5/1 +69%) Barton Knoll	5 5/1(+69%)	(9) Barton Knoll 5/1, Has been given a chance by the handicapper (now 10 lb below last winning mark), but he's no battler and was well held at Bangor when last seen in August. Needs to bounce back following a wind op. Has conditions to suit but this regressive 11yo has gone nearly two years since last win.
7 5th (7) (9/4 +59%) Deyrann De Carjac	2.25 9/4(+59%)	(7) Deyrann De Carjac 9/4, Smart novice chaser in 2019/20 and went close over C&D on his reappearance last season before performing with credit in the Paddy Power at Cheltenham. Not in the same form thereafter, in keeping with his up-and-down profile, but he's capable of a bold show off this mark if the mood takes. No win since 2019 but went close over C&D last autumn, after a break.
1 \|U\| (1) (5/2 +44%) Pay The Piper	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(1) Pay The Piper 5/2, Regained the winning thread at Musselburgh (15.8f, good to soft) in February and only just edged out in follow-up bid at Doncaster the following month. Below par final start of last season, but this mark isn't beyond him and will be a threat if fully tuned-up for this. Not at best on latest outing in April but generally very consistent in recent seasons.

15:45 Nottingham Handicap (Class 3) 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (3/1 -33%) Mr Alan	3 3/1(-33%)	(2) Mr Alan 3/1, C&D winner who shaped encouragingly following 9 months off when sixth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft, 11/2) 27 days ago, fading inside final 1f. Entitled to be sharper with that behind him and worth considering given he comes here fresher than most. Won this race last year; looks interesting back here with Ayr reappearance under his belt.
6 2nd (6) (7/1 +42%) Belhaven	7 7/1(+42%)	(6) Belhaven 7/1, Course winner. 17¼ lengths thirteenth of 14 to Sapphire Seas in listed race (50/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft) 28 days ago, finding the step up in class against her. This more suitable with her mark steadily easing. Has done her winning at 1m but ran creditably over 1m2f on penultimate outing.
8 3rd (8) (3/1 +60%) Golden Move	3 3/1(+60%)	(8) Golden Move 3/1, Off the mark on handicap debut at Doncaster (11.9f, soft) in July and ran with credit on 2 of his 3 starts since, good third of 9 in handicap at York (11.8f) 25 days ago. Should give another good account operating from same mark. Placed over 1m4f at York last time; goes back down in trip but isn't fully exposed.
7 4th (7) (13/2 +35%) Shahbaz	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(7) Shahbaz 13/2, Winner of a soft-ground nursery on final start at Newmarket (9f) 12 months ago. Consistent without getting his head infront so far this time around, creditable fourth of 7 in handicap at Haydock (1m, soft) 3 weeks ago. Return to further a plus with cheekpieces replacing visor. Rather an exposed 3yo but is largely consistent; eased 2lb since last run.
4 5th (4) (5/1 -100%) Regheeb	5 5/1(-100%)	(4) Regheeb 5/1, Made a winning debut here (8.3f) in April and having not been discredited at listed level next time, he capitalised on return to much calmer waters when scoring with plenty to spare at Lingfield (10f, AW) 32 days ago. Promises to do better again now handicapping. Record is 2-3, including a win here on soft ground; should progress further; respected.
3 6th (3) (7/2 +13%) Dubai Souq	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(3) Dubai Souq 7/2, 5/2, proved at least as good as ever when winning 5-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy) 14 days ago, going clear final 1f. Handicapper has reacted but he can't be discounted with a repeat. Made all for 6l win over C&D two weeks ago, taking Nottingham record to 2-2; big player.
5 7th (5) (66/1 -267%) Vellner	66 66/1(-267%)	(5) Vellner 66/1, Lightly-raced winner. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable third of 6 in minor event (9/2) at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) in June, his finishing effort leaving something to be desired. Joined new yard for 16,000 gns since and market best guide back from 4 months off. Ex-Irish 4yo who doesn't appear to have an easy task on debut for new stable.
1 8th (1) (100/1 -203%) Adrian	100 100/1(-203%)	(1) Adrian 100/1, Smart performer in Germany (probably best up to 1½m) successful twice in 2021. €110,000 purchase thereafter but offered little when last of 9 in Chester Group 3 in spring of last year. Not the easiest to weigh up coming back from another lengthy absence. Group winner in Germany; absent since a heavy defeat in the 2023 Ormonde on British debut.

Form	Odds	Runs
17 1st (17) (12/1 +33%) Bay Of Sanibel	12 12/1(+33%)	(17) Bay Of Sanibel 12/1, Once-raced filly. Eleventh of 19 in maiden (16/1) at the Curragh (10f, soft) on debut 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. No threat on debut in 1m2f Curragh maiden, should improve, plenty to find with Sioux Eagle.
14 2nd (14) (11/2 +31%) Neptunes Staircase	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(14) Neptunes Staircase 11/2, Twice-raced gelding. 13/2, tenth of 20 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, soft) 6 days ago. Yard having good spell. Curragh debut was better than second run at same venue when eased after chance had gone.
10 3rd (10) (25/1 -150%) Golden Temple	25 25/1(-150%)	(10) Golden Temple 25/1, Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. 40/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, sixteenth of 20 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, soft) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and bounce back called for now upped in trip.. Went close in a 1m4f Fairyhouse maiden in June, gives an impression of being regressive.
6 4th (6) (5/2 +0%) The Mediator	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(6) The Mediator 5/2, Bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler. Promise both starts in this sphere to date, good third of 10 in maiden at Thurles (2m) 2 weeks ago and he's one to consider in an ordinary maiden. Bumper winner, placed form over hurdles, leading chance after two third placings on Flat.
7 5th (7) (80/1 -21%) Chemdawg	80 80/1(-21%)	(7) Chemdawg 80/1, Displayed fair form on second of 3 starts in maidens on the Flat last summer. Better signs in handicaps since switched to hurdles for present yard (runner-up on penultimate start) but handicaps entitled to be more her bag in this sphere. Mild promise on the Flat for Willie McCreery, good run over hurdles on penultimate start.
11 6th (11) (9/4 +68%) How About No	2.25 9/4(+68%)	(11) How About No 9/4, €35,000 yearling, Galiway gelding. Brother to 2-y-o 1m winner Galaxiway and 1¼m winner Ussia and half-brother to 11f-12.2f winner Styledargent. Wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to figure on debut. One of four here for the stable, market should provide clues as to what is expected.
2 7th (2) (22/1 -120%) Elusive Guy	22 22/1(-120%)	(2) Elusive Guy 22/1, Fair winner at 2m over hurdles. Showed promise making Flat debut/following 6 months off when fifth of 10 in maiden at Thurles (2m) 13 days ago, fading approaching final 1f. Claims of hitting the frame with a repeat down in trip. Maiden hurdle winner, only 2 1/4l behind third-placed The Mediator on recent Flat debut.
13 8th (13) (14/1 -65%) Ikigai Star	14 14/1(-65%)	(13) Ikigai Star 14/1, Lightly-raced colt. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap at Listowel (14.2f, soft, 11/1) 29 days ago, off bridle before most and left behind over 2f out. Headgear quickly discarded now. Third behind useful stablemate St Vincents Garden at Fairyhouse in June, not as good since.
15 9th (15) (12/1 +14%) Superbolt	12 12/1(+14%)	(15) Superbolt 12/1, Zoffany gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1¼m winner Grecian Slipper. Dam twice-raced half-sister to top-class winner up to 1½m (Derby/Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe) Workforce. Market should guide as one of 4 runners from this yard. Half-brother to four Flat winners; dam a half-sister to Derby/Arc winner Workforce.
4 10th (4) (8/1 +43%) Sioux Eagle	8 8/1(+43%)	(4) Sioux Eagle 8/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 28/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good sixth of 19 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, soft) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Not beaten far when sixth of 19 at the Curragh, extra half-mile not certain to suit.
12 11th (12) (12/1 +45%) Hutton	12 12/1(+45%)	(12) Hutton 12/1, Once-raced colt. Thirteenth of 19 in maiden at this course (10f, soft, 18/1) on debut 25 days ago, racing off the pace and never landing a blow. Ran green in a 1m2f maiden at Curragh; Sioux Eagle and Neptunes Staircase in front of him.
5 12th (5) (125/1 -150%) Spanish John	125 125/1(-150%)	(5) Spanish John 125/1, Modest winning hurdler, successful on handicap debut at Ballinrobe (16.6f) in August. Not in same form all 3 starts since however, and others preferred on Flat debut. Handicap hurdle win in August came out of the blue, has failed to reproduce that form.
1 13th (1) (200/1 -100%) David's Lad	200 200/1(-100%)	(1) David's Lad 200/1, Thrice-raced gelding on Flat. 16/1, tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.4f, soft) 47 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Poor on last Flat outing. Three undistinguished Flat runs in 2021, modest form in six starts over hurdles, no appeal.
3 14th (3) (125/1 -89%) Grand Island	125 125/1(-89%)	(3) Grand Island 125/1, Once-raced gelding. 200/1, sixth of 10 in maiden at Thurles (16f, soft) on debut 13 days ago, never better than midfield. May build on that now. 9l behind fifth-placed Elusive Guy when sixth at Thurles, also held by The Mediator.
9 15th (9) (125/1 -400%) Base Money	125 125/1(-400%)	(9) Base Money 125/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 125/1, last of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (7f). Off 10 months. Significantly up in trip. Poor form in three starts at two, possible that he will be a different proposition in time.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good to soft, 7/2) 33 days ago by neck from Queen Emma, always holding on. Worth a try in this grade.

16:08 Wetherby Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (2.75/1 +31%) Whizz Kid	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(1) Whizz Kid 2.75/1, Back to winning ways under this pilot at Doncaster (16.6f) in March and backed that up with solid fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (15.6f, good to firm) the following month. Had a wind operation since and warrants respect on return. Capable handicapper off this mark and has won after a wind op in the past.
2 2nd (2) (4.5/1 +44%) Hurricane Ali	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(2) Hurricane Ali 4.5/1, Reliable sort who has made the frame 3 times this season and arrives on back of respectable fifth at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft, 6/1) 35 days ago. Jumping technique leaves a little to be desired, though. Multiple winner who wasn't far away in this race last season when 3lb higher.
7 3rd (7) (5.5/1 -10%) Coastguard Station	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(7) Coastguard Station 5.5/1, Dual winning pointer who improved on his hurdles form when making a winning chase debut in 2m handicap at Doncaster in November and acquitted himself well in defeat subsequently. 10 lb lower in this discipline and can't be discounted. Solid chase form back in the spring and he's rated 10lb lower over hurdles.
5 4th (5) (4.5/1 -29%) Hidalgo De L'Isle	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(5) Hidalgo De L'Isle 4.5/1, Dual winner at Bangor (both 16.7f) earlier this year who ran up to best when second of 4 in handicap hurdle at same course in June. Enters calculations. Might be handicapped about right but entitled to have some say.
4 5th (4) (33/1 -32%) Bread And Butter	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Bread And Butter 33/1, Ran a cracker returned from 4 months off/on debut for this yard when second in 25-runner Punchestown handicap hurdle (19.8f) in April. However, rather gone backwards since and has plenty to prove at present. Good debut for this yard but hasn't produced an effort of any note since then.
6 6th (6) (16/1 -220%) Lone Star	16 16/1(-220%)	(6) Lone Star 16/1, Had a productive 2022-23 season, scoring 5 times (at up to 23.7f) and ending campaign with respectable sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) in April. May find this trip on sharp side, however. Won five last winter; only 6th on final run and the handicapper may have caught up.
3 7th (3) (3/1 -9%) Fransham	3 3/1(-9%)	(3) Fransham 3/1, Multiple course winner who was narrowly denied (off 13 lb higher) at this meeting 12 months ago. Below that level thereafter but looks a likely player first time up back at his favourite venue. Wasn't at his best for much of last season but he does run this track particularly well.

The 9yo FRANSHAM (nap) often saves his best for Wetherby and he's 13lb lower than when narrowly denied in this race 12 months ago.

16:15 Nottingham Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (5/2 -11%) Je Ne Sais Quoi	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(3) Je Ne Sais Quoi 5/2, Won 6f Thirsk maiden in June and while her form has been patchy since, she ran up to best with her sights lowered when second of 5 in nursery at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) just over 6 weeks ago. Major player from an unchanged mark. Close second over 6f at Goodwood last time; possibilities if coping with return to 5f.
5 2nd (5) (11/2 +0%) Another Gift	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(5) Another Gift 11/2, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. 9/4, wasn't at her best after just 7 days off when fourth of 8 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. In the mix with Hollie Doyle back in the plate. Beaten off this mark in two starts since completing 6f hat-trick; drops back to 5f.
6 3rd (6) (8/1 -14%) Ninety Nine	8 8/1(-14%)	(6) Ninety Nine 8/1, Winner at Hamilton in June. 13/2, shaped better than the distance beaten suggested when sixth of 9 in nursery at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) in July, finding test too much and not ideally drawn. Return to 5f should suit and she remains open to improvement. Form of Hamilton win has substance; interesting off bottom weight on handicap debut.
1 4th (1) (2/1 +33%) Good Point	2 2/1(+33%)	(1) Good Point 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ran well when third of 9 on nursery debut at York (5f, heavy, 11/2) 5 days ago. More required and this quick turnaround tempers enthusiasm somewhat. Creditable third at York last Friday on handicap debut; solid chance off same mark.
4 5th (4) (6/1 -33%) Media Shooter	6 6/1(-33%)	(4) Media Shooter 6/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in August. Disappointed on softer ground than previously when last of 6 in nursery (10/3) at Ayr (6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Could bounce back if he proves suited by the drop to 5f in first-time headgear.
2 6th (2) (12/1 -71%) Band Of Joy	12 12/1(-71%)	(2) Band Of Joy 12/1, Sharp juvenile who displayed fair form when landing pair of maiden/novice events in July prior to a respectable second at Beverley. Step up to 6f may not have suited ideally on handicap debut at Chepstow since but present mark demands further progress in any case. Cheekpieces on. Respected back down in trip; trainer has won the last two runnings of this race.

16:20 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (15/2 +32%) Holkham Bay	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(5) Holkham Bay 15/2, Only seventh of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 22 days ago and others make more appeal. Yet to shine in handicaps, with or without headgear; down in weights but vulnerable again.
8 2nd (8) (15/8 +62%) Intervention	1.875 15/8(+62%)	(8) Intervention 15/8, Twenty-three runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Beverley (7.4f, heavy) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces and hood refitted. Yard saddles a stronger candidate in Mohareb. Yet to shine after a summer break but there have been excuses; return to 6f a plus; chance.
3 3rd (3) (9/1 -50%) Tyger Bay	9 9/1(-50%)	(3) Tyger Bay 9/1, Four-time C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/3, tenth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 22 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Dangerous mark and this multiple C&D winner needs serious consideration.
9 4th (9) (9/1 -13%) Libra Tiger	9 9/1(-13%)	(9) Libra Tiger 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Sandown in July. 11/2, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good. Unable to build on a ready 5f win at Sandown in July; looks a bit high in the weights.
7 5th (7) (7/1 -56%) Song Of Success	7 7/1(-56%)	(7) Song Of Success 7/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/2) 25 days ago, getting first run. 2 lb rise fair enough and while this is more demanding, she has to enter calculations with this drop back in trip no problem. Dictated when landing 7f h'cap at Wolverhampton latest; 2lb rise fair but this is tougher.
2 6th (2) (9/2 +44%) Skallywag Bay	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(2) Skallywag Bay 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in June. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good to soft, 8/1) 46 days ago, unable to sustain effort. 2-2 on the AW and needs considering. C&D winner who's 2-2 on AW; in good form prior to latest Chester run where she had excuses.
10 7th (10) (40/1 +0%) Dynamic Talent	40 40/1(+0%)	(10) Dynamic Talent 40/1, Course winner. 14/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f), slowly away. Off 126 days and back down in trip. Looks vulnerable. Three 7f AW wins last term but he's not found his sparkle this year; too much to prove.
1 8th (1) (22/1 -83%) Hello Zabeel	22 22/1(-83%)	(1) Hello Zabeel 22/1, 5/1, first run since leaving Charlie Fellowes when sixth of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 44 days ago. Back down to last winning mark and dangerous to discount. 2-4 on AW; on last winning mark and this trip more suitable than last time; not ruled out.
11 9th (11) (11/1 -69%) Phoenix Star	11 11/1(-69%)	(11) Phoenix Star 11/1, Four-time C&D winner. Won 12-runner handicap (11/2) at Newcastle (5f) 19 days ago. Up in class here but he's clearly in good nick and another bold show could be on the way. Chasing a hat-trick after two 5f wins at Newcastle for Tommie Jakes; four-time C&D winner.
4 10th (4) (16/1 -146%) Mohareb	16 16/1(-146%)	(4) Mohareb 16/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 7/1) 18 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off the same mark. Chased home an improver at Chelmsford last time; on losing run but holds each-way claims.

16:30 Navan Handicap 14f - 21 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (4/1 +33%) Viceregent	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) Viceregent 4/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 13 in handicap (17/2) at Listowel (14.2f, soft) 27 days ago, his effort flattening out having challenged wider than the winner. Not out of things. Worrying strike-rate of 1-35 but raced wide when second at Listowel.
15 2nd (15) (9/1 +55%) Jazzy Rock	9 9/1(+55%)	(15) Jazzy Rock 9/1, Good fifth of 16 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 48 days ago, keeping on once in the clear final 1f. Eased 2 lb subsequently if she can build on that effort now. 0-6 but some sign of improvement when a keeping-on fifth over C&D in August.
2 3rd (2) (14/1 +0%) Rain	14 14/1(+0%)	(2) Rain 14/1, 13/2, tenth of 13 in handicap at Listowel (14.2f, soft) 27 days ago, not clear run and eased off. Had previously displayed more encouraging signs in handicaps and not one to write off from easing mark. Bits of promise for this yard but was well beaten at Listowel last time.
3 4th (3) (10/1 +38%) Global Export	10 10/1(+38%)	(3) Global Export 10/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Listowel (14.2f, soft) 27 days ago, ridden approaching 2f out and no extra final 1f. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Has placed form on the Flat but will need to run better than he has the last twice.
22 5th (22) (3/1 +50%) Spinning Web	3 3/1(+50%)	(22) Spinning Web 3/1, Fair winner at 2m over hurdles and best effort to date on the level when runner-up at Sligo (10.5f) in August. Remained in form over hurdles subsequently, creditable third of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Listowel (2m) 31 days ago. Possibilities from his lowly mark. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Running well under both codes this year and appeals as the one better options.
10 6th (10) (10/1 +38%) Molly Hall	10 10/1(+38%)	(10) Molly Hall 10/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 18/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Clonmel (16.6f, good) 41 days ago, very much having run of race. Still, that may not prove her limit now she's off the mark. Prominent and won with a bit in hand over 2m at Clonmel, for which a 5lb rise is fair.
24 7th (24) (100/1 -100%) Sioux Grit	100 100/1(-100%)	(24) Sioux Grit 100/1, Last of 14 in handicap (100/1) at Dundalk (8f) 64 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Reserve 2. Second reserve; no places in 12 starts and this longer trip is a shot in the dark.
21 8th (21) (22/1 +45%) Gardone	22 22/1(+45%)	(21) Gardone 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 64 days ago, outpaced from 2f out. Significantly up in trip. Lightly raced; finished tenth of 13 on handicap debut over 1m2f at Dundalk.
9 9th (9) (18/1 +28%) Bigz Belief	18 18/1(+28%)	(9) Bigz Belief 18/1, Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, soft, 15/2) 23 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. 1m2f perhaps on the sharp side when a respectable sixth at Down Royal latest.
12 10th (12) (100/1 -150%) Baron Wild	100 100/1(-150%)	(12) Baron Wild 100/1, 50/1, last of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.1f, heavy) 20 days ago, racing in rear and never involved. Regressive 5yo who has been very quiet thus far for this yard.
13 11th (13) (40/1 +20%) Honketonk Angel	40 40/1(+20%)	(13) Honketonk Angel 40/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 28/1) 19 days ago, slowly away. Return to further rates a likely plus on balance and it does remain early days with her at least. Probably has a race in her having been beaten about 6l in last two handicaps.
16 12th (16) (12/1 +0%) Lady Christa	12 12/1(+0%)	(16) Lady Christa 12/1, 10/1, very good second of 18 in handicap at this course (10f, good to soft) 46 days ago, badly hampered by loose horse over 2f out and ultimately headed post. Significantly up in trip and of interest if she can build on that here. Unlucky over 1m2f here latest but she's into unknown territory trip-wise.
4 13th (4) (28/1 -75%) Meritorious	28 28/1(-75%)	(4) Meritorious 28/1, 7/1, creditable fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft) 67 days ago. Fair on the Flat, below form on last Flat outing. Regressive for this yard but his mark is falling and he could come good.
20 14th (20) (8/1 +33%) Marvel Fan	8 8/1(+33%)	(20) Marvel Fan 8/1, 11/2, fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Modest on the Flat, creditable on last Flat run and one to note if market speaks in his favour. Didn't run badly over fences 17 days ago but jumping is more her thing.
19 15th (19) (150/1 -127%) Hague Convention	150 150/1(-127%)	(19) Hague Convention 150/1, Very lightly raced in recent seasons and having offered little on return over C&D in August he again never figured back over hurdles here 32 days ago. Can only be watched. Lightly raced 9yo; has finished tailed off this year on the Flat and hurdling.
17 16th (17) (33/1 -32%) Loudest Whisper	33 33/1(-32%)	(17) Loudest Whisper 33/1, 11/1, eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft) in May. Handicapper has afforded her a chance ahead of return to action. Hasn't raced since May but goes on testing ground and on a dangerous mark.
1 17th (1) (9/2 +10%) Oakley	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(1) Oakley 9/2, 5/2, first run since leaving Dr Andreas Bolte when second of 17 in handicap at Cork (12f, good to soft) on IRE debut 49 days ago, no extra late on having been sent on a good way out. That ought not prove his limit for this yard and claims returned to this longer trip. Near miss on stable debut at Cork; 3lb higher for this but still lightly raced.
7 18th (7) (66/1 -100%) Final Endeavour	66 66/1(-100%)	(7) Final Endeavour 66/1, Thirteenth of 20 in handicap at this course (10f, soft, 40/1) 14 days ago. Something to prove stepping back up significantly in trip. Won three races but he's been cold as ice since returning from a layoff.
8 19th (8) (100/1 -203%) The Riastrad	100 100/1(-203%)	(8) The Riastrad 100/1, 150/1, tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 67 days ago. Fair on the Flat, below form on last Flat outing. An 11-race maiden who has yet to trouble the judge.
18 20th (18) (100/1 -100%) Gains Of War	100 100/1(-100%)	(18) Gains Of War 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 10 in maiden (150/1) at Thurles (16f, soft) 13 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Tailed off in his three maidens (1m4f-2m); risky proposition now in blinkers.
23 21st (23) (18/1 -13%) Kings Prince	18 18/1(-13%)	(23) Kings Prince 18/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Thurles (16f, soft) 13 days ago, never better than midfield. Reserve 1. Returned from a break with two seconds (1m7f/1m4f) before fairing less well at Thurles.

16:35 Bath Handicap (Class 4) 14f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (5/2 +29%) Campaign Trail	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(4) Campaign Trail 5/2, Made it back-to-back wins when scoring in handicap at Nottingham in August. 3/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (18f, good) 25 days ago. Could bounce back as he returns to this shorter trip. Won twice during the summer but he was disappointing in Cesarewitch Trial last time.
5 2nd (5) (9/4 +55%) Flower Of Dubai	2.25 9/4(+55%)	(5) Flower Of Dubai 9/4, Doubled her tally when winning handicap at Wolverhampton in June. Has been holding her form well since, third of 5 in handicap at Haydock (14f, soft, 5/1) 19 days ago. Can give her running once again. Creditable third behind improvers on soft ground in last two runs; should go well again.
1 3rd (1) (15/2 -36%) Spartan Army	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(1) Spartan Army 15/2, Thrice-raced winner on Flat for Joseph Patrick O'Brien. Fair form over hurdles for current yard, landing odds (1/2) in 7-runner juvenile at Taunton (16.5f, heavy) in March. Interesting back on the level as he makes handicap debut. Flat and dual hurdle winner who still has potential under both codes; respected on return.
7 4th (7) (7/4 +61%) Order Of Malta	1.75 7/4(+61%)	(7) Order Of Malta 7/4, Off the mark at Nottingham in July. Again shaped better than result when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, soft, 4/1) 32 days ago, denied a run 2f out. Could still have more to offer. Didn't get any luck when upped to 1m6f at Chester and he's in the mix off 1lb lower here.
2 5th (2) (50/1 -25%) Merveillo	50 50/1(-25%)	(2) Merveillo 50/1, Useful performer at best on Flat. However, achieved just poor form over jumps and below form back on the level last 2 starts, fifth of 6 in handicap (18/1) at Haydock (14f, heavy) 18 days ago. On dangerous mark but he's generally struggled under both codes this year; lots to prove.
8 6th (8) (40/1 +39%) Regency Boy	40 40/1(+39%)	(8) Regency Boy 40/1, Some encouragement on debut but has gone backwards in 2 starts since, eighth of 9 in minor event at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 100/1) 74 days ago (subsequently gelded). Significantly up in trip as he makes handicap debut. Struggled in his last two qualifying runs and has something to prove on handicap debut.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (3/1 +45%) Duke Of Deception	3 3/1(+45%)	(6) Duke Of Deception 3/1, Off the mark at Musselburgh in February and didn't need to improve to resume winning ways at Huntingdon in April. Similar form when third at Uttoxeter back in May (albeit not for the first time promising a bit more than he delivered) and now returns over hurdles.
1 2nd (1) (28/1 -40%) Butler's Brief	28 28/1(-40%)	(1) Butler's Brief 28/1, Got back on scoreboard at Uttoxeter in July and proved conclusively that fences aren't for him when pulled up at Worcester early last month. Pulled up again back over hurdles just 2 days later at Bangor and now has questions to answer.
8 3rd (8) (9/2 +55%) Belles Benefit	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(8) Belles Benefit 9/2, Landed a gamble in good style on first run for yard at Fontwell and continued in form, taking a keen hold and no match for classy winner at Market Rasen in July 2022. Shaped as if as good as ever after 13 months off when fourth at Cartmel recently and could step up on that here.
4 4th (4) (5/1 +33%) Miss Milano	5 5/1(+33%)	(4) Miss Milano 5/1, Completed a hat-trick last season. Had winning run ended up in grade when fourth of 7 at Perth (26.5f) 6 months ago. Career best will be needed to defy her current mark.
9 5th (9) (22/1 +33%) Balkotic	22 22/1(+33%)	(9) Balkotic 22/1, Struck twice last autumn but out of sorts this campaign. Back up in trip but others preferred.
3 6th (3) (5/4 +50%) Sea The Clouds	1.25 5/4(+50%)	(3) Sea The Clouds 5/4, Underlined this is his time of year when taking a Worcester handicap at the end of August and followed up in the style of one that will remain competitive at Warwick (25f, good) just over 3 weeks ago, suited by the step up in trip. Respected up another 4 lb.

16:50 Nottingham Handicap (Class 3) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (6/1 -9%) Desperate Hero	6 6/1(-9%)	(1) Desperate Hero 6/1, Latest win at Newbury in August. 16/1, wasn't disgraced when seventh of 19 in handicap at York (5f, soft) 25 days ago, staying on final 1f. Back under a fully-fledged rider and warrants plenty of respect. Respectable seventh in big field at York last time; likely player back down in grade.
2 2nd (2) (7/1 -27%) Hiya Maite	7 7/1(-27%)	(2) Hiya Maite 7/1, Latest win at Beverley in June. 15/2, back on track when fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 2 weeks ago. Tongue strap back on. Eventually ran out of steam on heavy ground here last time.
5 3rd (5) (16/5 +42%) Fantasy Master	3.2 16/5(+42%)	(5) Fantasy Master 16/5, C&D winner. Latest win at Doncaster in July. Fourth of 7 in handicap (5/2) at this C&D (heavy) 2 weeks ago. Fancied to feature. Consistent record at Nottingham includes three wins; third in this race last year.
7 4th (7) (11/1 +0%) Angle Land	11 11/1(+0%)	(7) Angle Land 11/1, 3 wins from 15 runs this year. 12/1, fared little better than of late when sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 2 weeks ago. Down to a handy mark so worth a second look in the betting. Won off 3lb higher in May; has lacked consistency since; others preferred.
6 5th (6) (13/2 -63%) Ey Up It's Maggie	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(6) Ey Up It's Maggie 13/2, Latest win at Ripon in August. Shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 11 in handicap (13/2) at Leicester (5f, good) 8 days ago, nearest finish. Scored in this grade two years ago but her two wins this season came in Class 5.
3 6th (3) (3/1 -9%) Nomadic Empire	3 3/1(-9%)	(3) Nomadic Empire 3/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, posted one of his better efforts this season when second of 12 in handicap at York (5f, heavy) 5 days ago. Has good chance on form provided this doesn't come too soon. Finished second at York last Friday and could well go one better; on a handy mark.
4 7th (4) (11/2 +31%) Safari Dream	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(4) Safari Dream 11/2, Ran creditably down in grade when third of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Bath (5f, soft) 16 days ago. Likely to find a few too strong in this. Has two pieces of heavy-ground form this season, including 2l third at Bath last time.

16:55 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (5/4 +29%) Super Schwartz	1.25 5/4(+29%)	(6) Super Schwartz 5/4, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 12-runner nursery (2/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 18 days ago by ¾ length from the re-opposing Mbappe (3 lb pull). Likely to be close between them once again. Comfortable winner at Chelmsford 18 days ago; that form franked already; key player up 6lb.
10 2nd (10) (33/1 -200%) Willowbank	33 33/1(-200%)	(10) Willowbank 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 10 in nursery at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 74 days ago, slowly away. Best to look elsewhere. Poor form on turf but one promising effort on AW; risky but not impossible.
2 3rd (2) (11/2 +73%) Havana Touch	5.5 11/2(+73%)	(2) Havana Touch 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 10 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 23 days ago, not clear run. Plenty to find on form. Hint of promise before hampered in straight on nursery debut (7f) latest; check betting.
9 4th (9) (33/1 -136%) My Lady Samantha	33 33/1(-136%)	(9) My Lady Samantha 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, respectable 5 lengths seventh of 12 to Super Schwartz in nursery at Chelmsford City (6f) 18 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak. Hasn't run badly in either nursery but 5l behind Super Schwartz latest & drawn widest.
11 5th (11) (12/1 +25%) Ritzy	12 12/1(+25%)	(11) Ritzy 12/1, 25/1, creditable fifth of 10 in nursery at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 15 days ago. Place possibilities. Unplaced all six starts but has hinted at better; others still have more pressing claims.
5 6th (5) (10/1 -11%) Monkey Miss	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Monkey Miss 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 8 in minor event at Chester (6.1f, soft, 20/1) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time for this handicap debut and improvement needed. Likely improver now handicapping at a modest level in first-time cheekpieces.
7 7th (7) (20/1 +0%) Justahunch	20 20/1(+0%)	(7) Justahunch 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 28/1) 23 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and cheekpieces on 1st time. Not without each-way hope. Not progressing and new headgear isn't enough to tempt.
1 8th (1) (4/1 -78%) Mbappe	4 4/1(-78%)	(1) Mbappe 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good ¾-length second of 12 to Super Schwartz in nursery at Chelmsford City (6f, 8/1) 18 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and should go close if able to build on that improved display. Improved effort when 2nd at Chelmsford latest (6f; form franked); up 3lb but can go well.
8 9th (8) (66/1 -65%) Someone Like You	66 66/1(-65%)	(8) Someone Like You 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time, sixteenth of 18 in nursery at Leicester (6f, good, 40/1) 8 days ago. Readily passed over. No improvement for the switch to nurseries as yet; not easily recommended.
4 10th (4) (25/1 -25%) Dominant Force	25 25/1(-25%)	(4) Dominant Force 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in maiden (150/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 75 days ago. Like stablemate Snow Boots, he needs to find a good deal of improvement now making the switch to handicap company. Faces first realistic opportunity now handicapping (been gelded); can do better.
3 11th (3) (14/1 -40%) Snow Boots	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) Snow Boots 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good) 75 days ago. Needs to raise his game now pitched into a handicap. Yard also represented by Dominant Force. Modest form in three turf runs this summer; opening mark looks stiff on that evidence.

17:05 Navan Handicap 14f - 20 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (16/1 +36%) Firm Belief	16 16/1(+36%)	(9) Firm Belief 16/1, 10/1, below form eighth of 18 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Not had many chances and her penultimate effort at Leopardstown was encouraging.
7 2nd (7) (7/1 +0%) Folly Beach	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Folly Beach 7/1, Winner at Leopardstown in July. 14/1, below form ninth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, soft) 11 days ago. Hood back on. Others more persuasive. Leopardstown winner in July but her subsequent runs have been really underwhelming.
5 3rd (5) (16/1 +0%) Dubai Clover	16 16/1(+0%)	(5) Dubai Clover 16/1, 9/2, last of 9 in handicap at Tramore (16f, good) 35 days ago. Not in top form at present. Ran okay at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Ballinrobe (1m4f) but Tramore last time was poor.
17 4th (17) (10/1 +38%) Breagagh	10 10/1(+38%)	(17) Breagagh 10/1, Respectable fifth of 22 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Punchestown (20f, good) 8 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Modest on the Flat, creditable on last Flat outing. Likely to be thereabouts. Sound runs under both codes this year and he should drop lucky sooner or later.
12 5th (12) (8/1 -45%) Flier	8 8/1(-45%)	(12) Flier 8/1, 11/1, creditable second of 20 in handicap at this course (10f, soft) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Running consistently well at present. Running well but unraced beyond 1m2f, so stamina is the main issue.
11 6th (11) (11/2 +8%) Enquire Within	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(11) Enquire Within 11/2, C&D winner. One win from 23 Flat runs. Winner here in August. 9/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.1f, heavy) 20 days ago, no match for winner. Makes plenty of appeal. Gave it her all when second over 1m4f at Bellewstown three weeks ago.
6 7th (6) (12/1 +40%) Grey Fable	12 12/1(+40%)	(6) Grey Fable 12/1, Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Killarney (11.2f, heavy) 18 days ago. Up in trip. Can't be dismissed. Latest effort wasn't too bad but could be vulnerable to stronger stayers at this trip.
20 8th (20) (11/1 +39%) Scalor	11 11/1(+39%)	(20) Scalor 11/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 28/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 19 days ago. Running well but he's a hard horse to catch right as strike-rate of 2-39 confirms.
1 9th (1) (16/1 -60%) L'un Deux Trois	16 16/1(-60%)	(1) L'un Deux Trois 16/1, Latest win at Tipperary in August. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (16.8f, heavy, 22/1) 24 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Capable handicapper on his day and this would be easier than the Curragh last time.
2 10th (2) (50/1 +24%) Harvest Bow	50 50/1(+24%)	(2) Harvest Bow 50/1, Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Thurles (16f, soft, 50/1) 13 days ago. Others make more appeal. Doesn't look as good as she used to be and this year is turning into a real struggle.
19 11th (19) (15/2 +17%) Rock Ya Boy Ya	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(19) Rock Ya Boy Ya 15/2, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Good third of 12 in handicap at Thurles (12.5f, soft, 8/1) 13 days ago. Uncertain to back that up. 0-26 but placed again at Thurles last time and has each-way claims.
15 12th (15) (16/1 -14%) Chilean	16 16/1(-14%)	(15) Chilean 16/1, Twenty six runs since last win in 2018. 28/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.1f, heavy) 20 days ago. Not taken lightly. Best days are long gone but latest fourth at Bellewstown was a solid effort.
21 13th (21) (33/1 +34%) Cant Catch Camacho	33 33/1(+34%)	(21) Cant Catch Camacho 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap (100/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good) 55 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Something to find on form. Not yet seen in a better light for entering handicaps and he's unraced beyond 1m1f.
8 14th (8) (100/1 -100%) Ena's Choice	100 100/1(-100%)	(8) Ena's Choice 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 8 in maiden (50/1) at Galway (12.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Must improve. Enough to prove on handicap debut, not least her stamina for this far.
13 15th (13) (8/1 +33%) Blenheim Lad	8 8/1(+33%)	(13) Blenheim Lad 8/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Listowel (12f, soft) 27 days ago. Has work to do. Cheekpieces tried last time now discarded; decent effort here the time before.
24 16th (24) (40/1 -60%) Ciao Adios	40 40/1(-60%)	(24) Ciao Adios 40/1, 33/1, first run since leaving Adrian Brendan Joyce when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 5 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Blinkers back on. Others preferred. RESERVE. Second reserve; two Flat wins in Britain; respectable since arriving in Ireland.
10 17th (10) (22/1 +45%) Fire Coral	22 22/1(+45%)	(10) Fire Coral 22/1, 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Thurles (12.5f, soft) 13 days ago. Best run was her second over this far at Bellewstown when the ground was yielding.
4 18th (4) (25/1 +24%) Streetscape	25 25/1(+24%)	(4) Streetscape 25/1, 40/1, first run since leaving David & Nicola Barron when creditable seventh of 13 in handicap at Listowel (14.2f, soft) 27 days ago, not clear run. Others make more appeal. Well beaten on stable debut over this far at Listowel a month ago.
18 19th (18) (40/1 +20%) Ferrum	40 40/1(+20%)	(18) Ferrum 40/1, Sixth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Gowran (13.7f, soft). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving John McConnell. Difficult ask. 0-8 on the Flat and 0-6 over jumps, yet to be placed; has left John McConnell.
3 20th (3) (8/1 -14%) Zoffany Bay	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) Zoffany Bay 8/1, Latest win at Tramore in July. 11/2, good third of 9 in handicap at Tramore (16f, good) 35 days ago. Worthy of interest. Useful jumper and has been in good form on the Flat at Tramore; thereabouts.

6 2nd (6) (8/11 +47%) Albus Anne	0.727273 8/11(+47%)	(6) Albus Anne 8/11, 5/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D (soft) 16 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Makes obvious appeal. Recent C&D winner (soft; from a 3lb lower mark); ticks the required boxes; the clear pick..
1 3rd (1) (85/40 +39%) Big Bear Hug	2.125 85/40(+39%)	(1) Big Bear Hug 85/40, Winner at Leicester in May. Below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 12/1), making effort earlier than ideal. Off 127 days. Not one to write off. May Leicester winner (1m, soft); returns from a four-month absence following wind surgery..
8 4th (8) (13/2 +46%) Medina Gold	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(8) Medina Gold 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 69 days ago. Back down in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Fared okay (fourth) on handicap debut; ran poorly at Yarmouth (1m2f) latest; wind surgery..
7 5th (7) (28/1 +44%) Motasaleeta	28 28/1(+44%)	(7) Motasaleeta 28/1, Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft, 66/1) 23 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Hard to fancy. Placed on three of her six starts, inc over C&D (40-1); poor last time; change of headgear.
2 6th (2) (100/1 -150%) Love Whisper	100 100/1(-150%)	(2) Love Whisper 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, last of 8 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm). Off 142 days.

17:25 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (3/1 +33%) Willingly	3 3/1(+33%)	(2) Willingly 3/1, Posted another creditable effort when fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (6.1f, heavy, 4/1) 2 weeks ago, no extra final 1f. Blinkers back on. Not disgraced on heavy ground here two weeks ago; remains on a workable mark.
1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 +22%) Object	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(1) Object 3.5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Went with some spark after just 5 days off when fifth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, soft, 20/1) 16 days ago. Needs to build on that here. Latest effort suggests this return to 5f will suit; clear possibilities dropped in class.
4 3rd (4) (7/2 -40%) Rhubarb	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(4) Rhubarb 7/2, Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy, 14/1) 2 weeks ago, leading inside final 1f. Up 3 lb and expected to be bang there under the most experienced rider in this field. Regained the winning thread in C&D event on heavy ground two weeks ago; respected.
3 4th (3) (14/1 -56%) Papabella	14 14/1(-56%)	(3) Papabella 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, shaped as if better for the run after 12 weeks off when fifth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (5f, soft) 4 weeks ago. More needed. Related to two winners for her connections; may come good at some stage.
8 5th (8) (33/1 +0%) Ellie Piper	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Ellie Piper 33/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 66/1, looked awkward when last of 10 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) 10 weeks ago. Can only be watched. 0-5 for current stable and form dipped sharply in August when last seen.
5 6th (5) (9/1 -125%) Alfred Cove	9 9/1(-125%)	(5) Alfred Cove 9/1, 25/1, returned to form from out of the blue when second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 23 days ago. Task is now to back that up. On a handy mark but sole win came on firm ground; unraced on softer than good.
7 7th (7) (7/1 +36%) Tommytwohoots	7 7/1(+36%)	(7) Tommytwohoots 7/1, Ran to just a poor level after 5 months off when seventh of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Tough to warm to. Close second at Catterick in April but his inconsistency is a negative.
6 8th (6) (7/1 +18%) Monsieur Fantaisie	7 7/1(+18%)	(6) Monsieur Fantaisie 7/1, Might have needed the run after 4 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft, 13/2) 2 weeks ago. Drops a further 2 lb and worth keeping a close eye on in the market. Runner-up under Brodie Hampson on two occasions; record is just 1-26.

Remains with potential. Latest C&D 4th can be upgraded significantly; more to come and he's a major player.
4 2nd (4) (7/4 +22%) Ezra Cee	1.75 7/4(+22%)	(4) Ezra Cee 7/4, Promising type. 16/1, third of 6 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 19 days ago. Likely to improve. Shaped well when 3rd at Newmarket (7f) last month; should be fast enough for 6f; contender.
2 3rd (2) (9/4 +25%) Al Saif	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(2) Al Saif 9/4, Promising individual who posted fair fifth of 12 in minor event (7/1) at Newbury (6f, good) on debut 88 days ago, nearest finish. Should have learnt plenty from that. Shaped nicely in a useful race at Newbury in July; should handle AW; one to take seriously.
9 4th (9) (11/2 +8%) Shelbourne	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(9) Shelbourne 11/2, Twice-raced maiden. Improved on debut form when second of 7 in maiden at Catterick (6f, soft) 25 days ago. One of likelier contenders. Improved on debut run when finishing 2nd of 7 at Catterick last month; more required today.
1 5th (1) (14/1 -100%) Spanish Rock	14 14/1(-100%)	(1) Spanish Rock 14/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Redcar in August. Third of 11 in minor event at Ripon (6f, good, 11/10) 18 days ago. Not out of things. Redcar winner in August (6f); third on either side of it; needs more to defy a penalty.
3 6th (3) (150/1 -50%) Berry Clever	150 150/1(-50%)	(3) Berry Clever 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 10 in minor event (66/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) on debut 29 days ago, missing break. 66-1, slowly away and never in the hunt on last month's debut; not easily recommended.
10 7th (10) (125/1 -942%) Briar Rose	125 125/1(-942%)	(10) Briar Rose 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW, 6/4) 49 days ago, hampered. Others more persuasive. Promise on debut but disappointing when a warm favourite upped to 7f last time; needs more.
11 8th (11) (250/1 -279%) Majolica	250 250/1(-279%)	(11) Majolica 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 9 in nursery at Chelmsford City (7f) 18 days ago. Hard to recommend. Poor form over 7f; drop in trip may help but she can't be recommended.
5 9th (5) (20/1 -150%) Ottoman Force	20 20/1(-150%)	(5) Ottoman Force 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/2, second of 12 in minor event at Beverley (5f, heavy) 22 days ago. Each-way claims. Second of 12 at Beverley over 5f last month but others in this field have achieved more.
7 10th (7) (40/1 -186%) Zaltalla	40 40/1(-186%)	(7) Zaltalla 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 25/1, sixth of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) on debut 29 days ago, not knocked about. Likely improver. Promise on last month's Yarmouth debut (useful event); can do better but he will need to.
8 11th (8) (80/1 -300%) Clancy	80 80/1(-300%)	(8) Clancy 80/1, Foaled February 19. Unfortunately colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m winner Dramatic Exit and 5f-7f winner Polaris Bound. Half-sister to three winners out of a well-related 1m winner; useful standard to aim at.

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (8/1 -14%) Spiced Rum	8 8/1(-14%)	(9) Spiced Rum 8/1, First run since leaving Rebecca Menzies when good third of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (2m, heavy, 10/1) 2 weeks ago, keeping on again late on. Could go well with the extra furlong to suit. Still lightly raced and she's been placed at 2m in last two starts; in the mix.
8 2nd (8) (11/1 -38%) Port Or Starboard	11 11/1(-38%)	(8) Port Or Starboard 11/1, Fair winner at 17f over hurdles and he posted a creditable third in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, soft, 4/1) on his latest outing in May. Returns from a break but he's on a workable mark back on the level. Hard to rule out a good run but he's 1-24 under both codes and others are more persuasive.
5 3rd (5) (11/2 +8%) Zillion	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(5) Zillion 11/2, Won twice this summer, with latest success here in August. Has continued in good heart since, second of 7 in handicap at Haydock (14f, soft, 10/3) 19 days ago. Can make his presence felt. Two wins (2m/1m5f) in the summer and runner-up in his last two starts; respected.
7 4th (7) (5/1 +38%) Tigerten	5 5/1(+38%)	(7) Tigerten 5/1, Form has gone the wrong way this year, sixth of 8 in handicap (66/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 37 days ago. Has enough to prove at present as he goes back up in trip. On reduced mark but he's been out of sorts in last six runs and needs a major turnaround.
4 5th (4) (16/1 -14%) Tin Fandango	16 16/1(-14%)	(4) Tin Fandango 16/1, Raced too freely when ninth of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (2m, heavy, 17/2) 47 days ago. However, had been in good form previously so could leave his latest effort behind. Conditions no problem but he had a major blip last time and is an infrequent winner.
10 6th (10) (11/1 +21%) Sugar Candie	11 11/1(+21%)	(10) Sugar Candie 11/1, Not discredited when 7¼ lengths third of 11 to the reopposing Easter Icon in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, soft, 5/1) 2 weeks ago. More needed if she's to gain a first success. Still a maiden after 11 starts and was a well-held third in a Class 6 last time.
6 7th (6) (7/1 -100%) Easter Icon	7 7/1(-100%)	(6) Easter Icon 7/1, Notched a third success of the season when winning 11-runner handicap at Catterick (15.9f, soft, 10/3) 2 weeks ago, produced to lead over 2f out. Can be thereabouts once more. Recorded his third 2m win when beating a clear second at Catterick latest; key player.
3 8th (3) (33/1 -136%) Fred Bear	33 33/1(-136%)	(3) Fred Bear 33/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year. Shaped better than result when fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (14f, good, 8/1) in July, fading having made big move into contention. Capable if ready to go after 3 months off. Two wins in first half of this year and he needs watching in market back from a break.
12 9th (12) (40/1 -43%) Analytics	40 40/1(-43%)	(12) Analytics 40/1, After 7 weeks off, never involved when seventh of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good to soft, 40/1) 20 days ago. Improvement required as she goes significantly up in trip. Seven-race maiden and she needs a transformation on the step up to this trip.
11 10th (11) (125/1 -25%) Hammy End	125 125/1(-25%)	(11) Hammy End 125/1, Has been struggling for form, eighth of 10 in handicap (66/1) at this course (13f, good to soft) in August. Cheekpieces back on as he's tried over this longer distance. Out of sorts for his current yard and this trip is a new challenge; plenty to prove.
1 11th (1) (6/4 +55%) Killaloan	1.5 6/4(+55%)	(1) Killaloan 6/4, Raced 3 times on Flat in 2021 for John Patrick Murtagh. Completed hat-trick over hurdles for current yard this year, though pulled up at Sandown when last seen in April. Has potential as he makes handicap debut in this sphere. 3-6 over hurdles and he looks interesting off a dangerous mark back on the Flat.

18:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (4/5 +60%) Kalamunda	0.8 4/5(+60%)	(7) Kalamunda 4/5, 5/4, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 8 days ago. Carries penalty. Makes polytrack debut. Solid claims. Easy winner switched to AW last week and bred to be much better than a Class 6 operator.
1 2nd (1) (5/1 -67%) Green Power	5 5/1(-67%)	(1) Green Power 5/1, 14/1, won 13-runner handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, readily. Has a good AW record and remains well treated on old form, so could go in again. Strong finish when winning over C&D two weeks ago (good Topspeed figure); chance up 6lb.
5 3rd (5) (17/2 +39%) Raqraaq	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(5) Raqraaq 17/2, Tenth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Bath (8f, soft) 16 days ago, badly hampered. Much better than result last time and he's sliding in the weights, so not one to write off. Placed 3 times off a 6lb higher mark; gone quiet more recently and currently 0-15.
3 4th (3) (28/1 -40%) Hul Ah Bah Loo	28 28/1(-40%)	(3) Hul Ah Bah Loo 28/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 28/1) 22 days ago, not clear run. On a fair mark and better signs last time, so not dismissed. Hard to win with but on a good mark & should appreciate this drop in grade; e-w claims.
6 5th (6) (15/2 -7%) Moush	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(6) Moush 15/2, 10/3, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 70 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Edging down to an appealing mark. 0-11 but often placed; dangerous mark if a wind operation has the desired effect.
13 6th (13) (20/1 -67%) Flying Panther	20 20/1(-67%)	(13) Flying Panther 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Southwell (8.1f) 20 days ago. Others make more appeal. 2-5 in these accessories, including C&D; not at best on Tapeta latest; can bounce back.
10 7th (10) (66/1 -164%) Fiddlers Green	66 66/1(-164%)	(10) Fiddlers Green 66/1, First run since leaving John Joseph Murphy when twelfth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Pontefract (6f, good) 89 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Others more persuasive. Interesting on his Irish best; down in class & back up in trip today; worth market check.
12 8th (12) (25/1 -14%) Mr Trick	25 25/1(-14%)	(12) Mr Trick 25/1, Below form eighth of 14 in handicap (4/1) at Bath (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Possibly found latest run coming too soon, so could bounce back. Below par at Bath last time but earlier Nottingham 3rd a fair effort; down to a handy mark.
2 9th (2) (20/1 -25%) Always Fearless	20 20/1(-25%)	(2) Always Fearless 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 7/1) 6 days ago, running on. Not discounted. Two wins this summer but held off this mark twice since the latest, including last week.
8 10th (8) (50/1 -127%) Stopnsearch	50 50/1(-127%)	(8) Stopnsearch 50/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Brighton (8f, heavy) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not one to write off. Out of sorts since back from a summer break; effective over C&D but others appeal more.
9 11th (9) (40/1 -344%) Evasive Power	40 40/1(-344%)	(9) Evasive Power 40/1, Course winner. 3/1, improved on recent efforts to win 7-runner handicap at Brighton (7f, heavy) 30 days ago, well on top finish. Merits consideration. Conditions fine and comes here on the back of a 7f win; this looks more competitive though.
4 12th (4) (80/1 -220%) Pink Jazz	80 80/1(-220%)	(4) Pink Jazz 80/1, C&D winner. Last of 11 in handicap at this course (11f, 66/1) 26 days ago. Back down in trip. Must improve. Easy C&D win in Feb but hit hard by the handicapper; tailed off over 1m3f in one run since.
14 13th (14) (200/1 -150%) Forever Proud	200 200/1(-150%)	(14) Forever Proud 200/1, First run since leaving James Horton when ninth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (10f, heavy, 100/1) 28 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Something to find on form. Tailed off on her stable debut (1m2f, soft); this more suitable but others look safer.
11 14th (11) (25/1 -56%) High Court Judge	25 25/1(-56%)	(11) High Court Judge 25/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 13 in handicap (20/1) at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Plenty to find on form. C&D winner off 4lb higher in March; sharper for latest run; likely reviver.

Green Power won well here two weeks ago but he may not be able to contain last week's impressive Southwell winner KALAMUNDA.

18:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (7/2 +30%) Red Hat Eagle	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(6) Red Hat Eagle 7/2, Looked somewhat unlucky not to open account (met trouble late on) when second of 6 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) 22 days ago. Fairly treated, back handicapping, and must enter calculations. 0-7 but has run some good races on Polytrack and is not ruled out now back in a handicap.
4 2nd (4) (10/1 +17%) Intricate Pillar	10 10/1(+17%)	(4) Intricate Pillar 10/1, Course winner. 16/1, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 30 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap on 1st time. Chance if rediscovering old form. Course novice winner who remains lightly raced, but merely sixth here the last twice.
2 3rd (2) (9/4 +55%) Oh Herberts Reign	2.25 9/4(+55%)	(2) Oh Herberts Reign 9/4, Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. 4/1, bit below form fifth of 15 in minor event at Doncaster (8f, good) 31 days ago. Looks competitive on form. On a 23-race losing run but went very close two starts ago and has a chance.
13 4th (13) (14/1 -40%) Recuerdame	14 14/1(-40%)	(13) Recuerdame 14/1, 3-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, suited by way race developed. Needs a couple of these to falter. Held-up; won over C&D last month; can play a leading role if this race pans out favourably.
9 5th (9) (6/1 +25%) Curtiz	6 6/1(+25%)	(9) Curtiz 6/1, Not seen since creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) this time last year but is worth monitoring in market on return with Oisin Murphy booked. Absent since last October but Oisin Murphy has an eyecatching 24% strike-rate for the yard.
1 6th (1) (9/1 -100%) One For The Frog	9 9/1(-100%)	(1) One For The Frog 9/1, Bounced back to form when close second of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 20 days ago. Remains well treated on old form and is one for shortlist. Returned to form with neck second at Southwell three weeks ago; in the mix.
7 7th (7) (28/1 -133%) Dourado	28 28/1(-133%)	(7) Dourado 28/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Bath (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Below best the last twice but two wins this year (including C&D) and could bounce back.
5 8th (5) (22/1 -10%) Wake Up Harry	22 22/1(-10%)	(5) Wake Up Harry 22/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 22/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 32 days ago. Makes limited appeal. Went very close at Lingfield in January but plenty to prove in view of recent form.
3 9th (3) (9/1 -13%) Ravenglass	9 9/1(-13%)	(3) Ravenglass 9/1, Consistent sort who posted another creditable effort when third of 12 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 23 days ago. Likely to be in mix again on polytrack debut. 0-10 this year but fair third at Wolverhampton last month and might not be far away.
8 10th (8) (25/1 -56%) Newton Jack	25 25/1(-56%)	(8) Newton Jack 25/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 48 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Others preferred. On a reduced mark but has run just twice this year and finished well beaten each time.
10 11th (10) (50/1 -52%) Cephalus	50 50/1(-52%)	(10) Cephalus 50/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 33/1) 29 days ago. Chance on old form. Down the weights; market check advised but he has to leave this year's form well behind.
11 12th (11) (28/1 -40%) Roar Emotion	28 28/1(-40%)	(11) Roar Emotion 28/1, C&D winner. Winner here in April. Last of 10 in handicap at this course (11f, 50/1) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Hard to fancy. C&D winner in April but hopes are pinned on the cheekpieces prompting a revival.
14 13th (14) (14/1 -56%) Angel Of Antrim	14 14/1(-56%)	(14) Angel Of Antrim 14/1, C&D winner in August. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 42 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Won over C&D in August and trapped wide when fifth at Lingfield subsequently.
12 14th (12) (125/1 -150%) Perfect Focus	125 125/1(-150%)	(12) Perfect Focus 125/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, 200/1) 30 days ago. Still looking for first success. Has shown very little the last twice following a long absence.

19:00 Kempton Stakes (Class 2) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (7/2 -133%) Dr Foster	3.5 7/2(-133%)	(9) Dr Foster 7/2, Only narrowly failed to break maiden tag when good second of 11 at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 11 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Leading claims. Placed in 6f/7f maidens on last three starts; solid form claims and 1m should be in range.
6 2nd (6) (5/2 +64%) Sant Alessio	2.5 5/2(+64%)	(6) Sant Alessio 5/2, Foaled February 22. 30,000 gns 2-y-o, Too Darn Hot colt. Half-brother to 11f-1½m winner Ramensky. Interesting newcomer. 30,000gns 2yo; half-brother to a middle-distance winner; yard 1-16 with 2yos this year.
8 3rd (8) (7/2 +42%) Blake	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(8) Blake 7/2, Once-raced maiden. 12/1, fifth of 11 in minor event over C&D on debut 21 days ago. May well do better with that run under his belt. Promise over C&D on last month's debut; more to come and he's one for the shortlist.
4 4th (4) (10/1 +38%) Najm Aldar	10 10/1(+38%)	(4) Najm Aldar 10/1, Foaled March 4. €28,000 yearling, Territories colt. Dam unraced sister to useful 7f (German Group 3) winner Navarra King out of useful 9f/1¼m winner Navarra Queen. 28,000euros yearling; dam an unraced sister to a Group 3 winner in Germany; check betting.
1 5th (1) (8/1 -14%) Dan Dee Prince	8 8/1(-14%)	(1) Dan Dee Prince 8/1, Fair gelding. Winner at Leicester in August. 7/2, sixth of 7 in nursery at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Not out of things on polytrack debut. Improved in nurseries but he looks to face a stiff task under a penalty here; new trip.
2 6th (2) (40/1 -100%) Dashinwhitesargent	40 40/1(-100%)	(2) Dashinwhitesargent 40/1, Foaled February 10. Highland Reel colt. Dam, 7f/1m winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Showout. First foal of a useful 7f/1m winner (RPR 100); worth a market check on debut.
7 7th (7) (17/2 +0%) This Time Maybe	8.5 17/2(+0%)	(7) This Time Maybe 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden who posted best effort yet when second at Windsor (8.1f) in August. Wasn't in same form at Newbury latest but can't be ruled out. Gelded since last seen. Flopped on nursery debut last time but ran well over 1m in August and he's been gelded.
5 8th (5) (33/1 -65%) Risk On	33 33/1(-65%)	(5) Risk On 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. Failed to repeat debut effort when fourth of 7 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 12/1) 14 days ago. Still early days, though. Promise on debut (backed) & heavy ground excuse latest effort; may do better but needs to.
10 9th (10) (12/1 -140%) China Trade	12 12/1(-140%)	(10) China Trade 12/1, Twice-raced maiden who still looked in need of experience when fourth of 10 (11/2) at Doncaster (7f, good to firm). Off 109 days. Remains open to progress. Signs of ability over shorter; bred to stay but improvement required for this new trip.

19:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (66/1 -164%) Valtellina	66 66/1(-164%)	(10) Valtellina 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, soft, 14/1) 27 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Easy to look elsewhere. Should appreciate return to an easier test and still unexposed, but others more convincing.
5 2nd (5) (14/1 -17%) Epic Express	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Epic Express 14/1, Course winner. Latest win at Newmarket in May. Respectable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (66/1) 7 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Mainly runs over 6f these days but ran well when third over C&D last time; each-way claims.
1 3rd (1) (10/1 -25%) Shoot To Kill	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Shoot To Kill 10/1, Back to winning ways when narrowly taking 12-runner handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 22 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and not taken lightly. 3lb higher than when winning at Lingfield last time, but wide draw could be problematic.
7 4th (7) (15/2 -25%) Strike	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(7) Strike 15/2, 5/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 39 days ago, suited by way race developed. Enters calculations. Ran well in two of his three starts over C&D, as when staying-on fourth last time; chance.
6 5th (6) (5/1 +0%) Zoukster	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Zoukster 5/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year, latest at Newbury (7f) in July. 11/2, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 45 days ago. Warrants respect. Three wins on turf this year and return to 7f should suit, but drawn wider than ideal.
13 6th (13) (13/8 +54%) Wizarding	1.625 13/8(+54%)	(13) Wizarding 13/8, C&D winner who posted another creditable effort when second of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, 2/1) 14 days ago. Remains fairly treated and ought to go well again. Record over C&D reads 123 and second over 1m here last time; high on the list.
9 7th (9) (11/1 +0%) Fox Master	11 11/1(+0%)	(9) Fox Master 11/1, 18/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (6f) 40 days ago. Others more appealing. Made a winning debut in January but hasn't built on it; still has stamina to prove.
8 8th (8) (25/1 -194%) Ray Vonn	25 25/1(-194%)	(8) Ray Vonn 25/1, Winner at Nottingham in October. 7/2, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good) 8 days ago. Not out of things. Off the mark this month but started slowly at Leicester next time; not dismissed.
11 9th (11) (40/1 -100%) Boxing Alex	40 40/1(-100%)	(11) Boxing Alex 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, 22/1) 49 days ago. Something to find on form. Has blown out in both handicaps and needs a turnaround.
2 10th (2) (7/1 +13%) Granary Queen	7 7/1(+13%)	(2) Granary Queen 7/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 35 days ago. Blinkers back on. Warrants respect. Strong traveller who is usually there or thereabouts, but losing run is up to 18.
12 11th (12) (12/1 +14%) From Beyond	12 12/1(+14%)	(12) From Beyond 12/1, 16/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 23 days ago, left poorly placed. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. 0-7 but in the frame four times and ran better than it looked last time.
3 12th (3) (22/1 -83%) Raven's Applause	22 22/1(-83%)	(3) Raven's Applause 22/1, Winner at Windsor in June. Blinkered for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 29 days ago, not knocked about. Visor back on. Others more persuasive. Looked looked unlucky not to finish closer at Newcastle last month; could make an impact.

20:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 12f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (4/1 +56%) Sonnerie Power	4 4/1(+56%)	(3) Sonnerie Power 4/1, 9/2 and hooded for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Chester (11.3f, soft). Off 96 days and will be a danger to all if able to get back on track. Below par in July but has had a break since and has edged back down the weights; chance.
7 2nd (7) (6/1 +25%) Red Flyer	6 6/1(+25%)	(7) Red Flyer 6/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 8 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good to firm, 14/1) 34 days ago, running on. Solid claims off the same mark. Returned to form when going close at Epsom and he has a good record here; one to consider.
4 3rd (4) (18/1 -29%) Haku	18 18/1(-29%)	(4) Haku 18/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Redcar (14f, good) 11 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view. Two-time C&D winner; encouraging run at Redcar recently following a break; respected.
2 4th (2) (6/1 +40%) Arthur's Realm	6 6/1(+40%)	(2) Arthur's Realm 6/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Visored for 1st time, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Goodwood (9f, soft, 4/1) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip and one to consider off a reduced mark. Unraced beyond 10.3f but this trip is worth a go; could be a contender if seeing it out.
9 5th (9) (9/1 +10%) Imaginary World	9 9/1(+10%)	(9) Imaginary World 9/1, Last of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, soft, 5/1) 27 days ago. Perhaps unsuited by the slow ground there and each-way shout if he puts his best foot forward. Soft ground excuses his last run and this 3yo could have more to offer now back on AW.
1 6th (1) (40/1 -122%) Dark Pine	40 40/1(-122%)	(1) Dark Pine 40/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, soft) 32 days ago. Continues to edge down the weights and he's not discounted. Went very close at Chester in May but has to improve upon his more recent form.
14 7th (14) (10/1 -11%) Dancing In Paris	10 10/1(-11%)	(14) Dancing In Paris 10/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Ascot (12f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and won't be far away if he proves to be effective on this surface. Perhaps the fast ground was to blame at Ascot; in good form previously and not discounted.
11 8th (11) (9/1 -13%) Overactive	9 9/1(-13%)	(11) Overactive 9/1, Latest win at Leicester in August. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good to firm, 11/1) 39 days ago. Makes polytrack debut (performed well both starts on tapeta). Possibilities if he takes to this surface. Heavy defeat at Ascot but went there on a hat-trick and this 3yo is not written off.
6 9th (6) (4/1 +38%) Duke Of Oxford	4 4/1(+38%)	(6) Duke Of Oxford 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. Respectable third of 13 in handicap (18/1) at this course (11f) 21 days ago. Needs to raise his game. Lightly raced 3yo who returned to form when third here three weeks ago; on the shortlist.
13 10th (13) (7/1 +56%) French Invasion	7 7/1(+56%)	(13) French Invasion 7/1, C&D winner. 10/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at York (11.8f, soft) 25 days ago, faltering. Others look stronger. His form is very mixed but he's 2-2 on Polytrack so is worth a second look.
10 11th (10) (100/1 -100%) Quian	100 100/1(-100%)	(10) Quian 100/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Last of 6 in handicap (50/1) at Haydock (14f, heavy) 18 days ago. Chance on old form but he's hard to warm to based on recent evidence. Fair sixth on stable debut here in February but he's struggled since and is hard to fancy.
8 12th (8) (28/1 -75%) Saligo Bay	28 28/1(-75%)	(8) Saligo Bay 28/1, One win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Windsor in May. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Newbury (12f, firm, 5/4). Off 133 days ahead of this polytrack debut. Likely to find one or two too good. Disappointing in June but has had a break since; in good form previously; makes AW debut.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

The 3yo filly MALKA was a decisive winner when upped in trip over C&D last month and she's taken to make it 2-2 on AW.

20:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 12f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
13 1st (13) (5/1 +38%) Timewave	5 5/1(+38%)	(13) Timewave 5/1, C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap (10/3) at Southwell (11.1f) 20 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Not taken lightly. Two AW wins, including C&D; running creditably more recently; likely to be involved.
8 2nd (8) (8/1 +11%) Big Jimbo	8 8/1(+11%)	(8) Big Jimbo 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Bath in August. Last of 14 in handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm, 12/1) 56 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. C&D winner; scored on turf in August and he's one to note back under these conditions.
7 3rd (7) (7/1 +30%) Largo Bay	7 7/1(+30%)	(7) Largo Bay 7/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Bath (13f, soft) 16 days ago. Each-way chance. Should be well treated but he's been inconsistent this year; rare run with no headgear.
11 4th (11) (16/1 -100%) Crazy Maisie	16 16/1(-100%)	(11) Crazy Maisie 16/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, very good second of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 13 days ago, just failing. Still, others make more appeal on balance. Went close at Lingfield (1m2f) latest; 2lb higher today; vulnerable to stronger stayers.
9 5th (9) (8/1 +27%) Portoro	8 8/1(+27%)	(9) Portoro 8/1, Winner at Salisbury in July. 13/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, soft) 14 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Easy winner on h'cap debut (1m2f, soft); good 2nd on stable debut next time; low mileage.
3 6th (3) (40/1 -60%) Basilette	40 40/1(-60%)	(3) Basilette 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Modest winner at 16f in bumpers. Seventh of 10 in maiden at this course (11f, 200/1) 14 days ago. Improvement needed now handicapping. Won a weak bumper in July; whiff of promise in 3 Flat runs but not obviously well treated.
14 7th (14) (16/1 -45%) It's How We Roll	16 16/1(-45%)	(14) It's How We Roll 16/1, First run since leaving Henry Oliver when bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap (6/1) at Bath (13f, soft) 16 days ago. 0-15 on the AW. 0-15 on AW but is effective at this track; needs to step up on a low-key stable debut.
5 8th (5) (80/1 -60%) Good Time Ahead	80 80/1(-60%)	(5) Good Time Ahead 80/1, 40/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f). Off 146 days and now down in trip and blinkered for 1st time. Out of sorts in May but returns from a break on lowly mark and in blinkers; check betting.
12 9th (12) (5/1 +29%) Bletchley Storm	5 5/1(+29%)	(12) Bletchley Storm 5/1, Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (16/5) at Sandown (10f, heavy) 28 days ago. Up in trip and, having performed with credit on her 3 previous starts in handicaps, she's one to consider. Placed in first 3 handicaps; below par latest but may well bounce back returned to Class 6.
1 10th (1) (14/1 +44%) Nonsuch Lad	14 14/1(+44%)	(1) Nonsuch Lad 14/1, 12/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Two turf wins last year; retains ability and down in the weights but yet to shine on AW.
2 11th (2) (50/1 -25%) Giovanni Baglione	50 50/1(-25%)	(2) Giovanni Baglione 50/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good, 66/1) 51 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. Well beaten in his two runs for this yard; stamina not assured; too much to prove.
6 12th (6) (2/1 +40%) Bobby Kennedy	2 2/1(+40%)	(6) Bobby Kennedy 2/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Very good second of 14 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 26 days ago, running on. Big player. Creditable 2nd over C&D last month and O Murphy retains the ride; contender off same mark.

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

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

Delvey went close last time and can go well but a chance is taken that the return to AW will revive the fortunes of KEMERTON.

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.
