13:00 Catterick Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up on each of her last two starts, including over C&D two starts ago, GLOWCHESTER narrowly sets the standard on form and this looks like an ideal opportunity to break the maiden at the fifth time of asking. Cash In hasn't shown much since finishing second at Ripon in June, but he is the top-rated in the field and must enter calculations, along with Safanah.

An excellent opportunity for the progressive GLOWCHESTER to open her account. Cash In is capable of making a race of it if bouncing back to form.

Preference is for GLOWCHESTER, who has been generally progressive so far and was only narrowly denied over C&D on her penultimate run.

1st (5) Kyprios ( )
Kyprios

0
()
(5) Kyprios , High-class stayer who looked back to his very best when regaining the Ascot Gold Cup/Goodwood Cup in the summer. Has added to his tally with wins in the Irish St Leger and Prix du Cadran at Longchamp and is clearly the one to beat.
Looks 2024 champion stayer; not far ahead of Trawlerman; French win was just two weeks ago.
6
2nd (6) Sweet William ( )
Sweet William

0
()
(6) Sweet William , Made into a smart stayer in 2023 and has improved again this term. Landed Henry II Stakes at Sandown in May and has posted very good placed efforts behind Kyprios in Ascot Gold Cup and Goodwood Cup prior to resuming winning ways in Doncaster Cup. Has each-way claims.
Won the Doncaster Cup in good style on latest start, following two places behind Kyprios.
7
3rd (7) Trawlerman ( )
Trawlerman

0
()
(7) Trawlerman , Ebor winner in 2022 and improved again last season, winning all 3 starts in this country, notably when edging out Kyprios (ridden inefficiently) in this event 12 months ago. Gave his all when runner-up to that rival in Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in June and looks sure to make another bold bid.
There's twice not been much between him and Kyprios; unraced on worse than good to soft.

Caius Chorister

0
()
(8) Caius Chorister , Took her form to a new level when just failing under a penalty in Sagaro at Ascot/Henry II Stakes at Sandown on first 2 starts this season. However, was too keen in the Ascot Gold Cup and it was a similar story in the Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp (13.9f) 2 weeks ago. Passed over at this level.
She's not lived up to her first two performances this season, usually racing too freely.

5th (1) Al Nayyir ( )
Al Nayyir

0
()
(1) Al Nayyir , Developed into a smart stayer trained in France and made an excellent start for new yard when second in the Lonsdale Cup at York, closing all the way to the line. Easily went one better in 5-runner listed event at Newmarket and comes here at the top of his game.
Last two starts have made him an exciting recruit to the British staying scene.
4
6th (4) Burdett Road ( )
Burdett Road

0
()
(4) Burdett Road , Developed into a useful hurdler for this yard last winter and took a step forward when making all in 5-runner listed contest at Newmarket (12f) 22 days ago, kept up to work. This is a whole different ball game, however, and will likely come up short.
Front-running in small field produced runaway win in Listed race at Newmarket (1m4f, soft).
9
7th (9) The Euphrates ( )
The Euphrates

0
()
(9) The Euphrates , Squashed suspicions he might've been flattered by his fourth in the Irish St Leger when winning 30-runner Irish Cesarewitch (Handicap) in first-time blinkers at the Curragh (16.8f) 20 days ago, in command final 1f and closed down only late. That form is working out and he's an interesting runner.
May well try to make the running and, given recent form, much better than a mere pacemaker.
2
8th (2) Alsakib ( )
Alsakib

0
()
(2) Alsakib , Developed into a smart performer in 2023, winning 4 times, including a couple of valuable handicaps, and best effort this term when winning Group 3 at York (13.8f) in July. However, that wasn't a strong race for the grade and he was found out in better company at York.
Got on top late on in 1m6f Group 3 at York but disappointed in 2m Group 2 there last time.
3
9th (3) Belloccio ( )
Belloccio

0
()
(3) Belloccio , Developed into a smart performer for David Menuisier, ending 2022 campaign with listed success at Kempton (12f). Winless in 4 starts last term but returned for top NH yard with an impressive hurdles success at Punchestown prior to winning Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot. This is much tougher.
Easily won maiden hurdle in May; added 1m6f handicap at Royal Ascot but this demands more.

13:20 Ascot Group 2 (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

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

One of the great stayers, Kyprios hasn't looked back since being defeated by TRAWLERMAN in this 12 months ago. Now an eight-time Group 1 winner following his second success in the Prix du Cadran a fortnight ago, the top-class son of Galileo attempts to round off a hitherto perfect season in style. It's been a long campaign, though, and Trawlerman could exploit any chinks in his armour. The Gosdens' six-year-old has been kept fresh since chasing home Aidan O'Brien's star in the Gold Cup here in June, but he has often come alive at this time of year and it would come as no surprise to see him mount a bold title defence. Al Nayyir impressed in Listed company at Newmarket recently and is no forlorn hope, while Doncaster Cup hero Sweet William looks destined for a minor role.

KYPRIOS has looked back to his very best this season and is taken to gain his revenge on Trawlerman for the result in this race 12 months ago having endured a far smoother campaign this time around. Trawlerman looks sure to make another bold bid nonetheless, while Al Nayyir is plainly better than ever for his latest change of yard and can fill the places.

Kyprios is a magnificent champion but Trawlerman has twice gone head-to-head with him and AL NAYYIR might upstage them both.

13:30 Catterick Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

An encouraging second when having his first go at this distance last time out at Redcar, MORANDI SECOND is expected to build on that and he may be able to strike for shrewd connections. Molinari bounced back to form with a runner-up effort at Pontefract and he is a key player, along with Molten Sea, who has strong claims on her success at Musselburgh two starts ago.

MOLINARI is a long time without a win but has been given a chance by the handicapper and stepped up on his recent run back down in grade when second at Pontefract last month. He gets the vote over Molten Sea and Morandi Second.

The suggestion is NORMANDY VISTA, who looks interesting off bottom weight returned to Catterick. Molten Sea is feared most.

13:35 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MR PERCY slammed a 150-rated hurdler by seven lengths in a 1m6f maiden at Gowran Park last month and was a warm order for his hurdling debut at the same venue. In front at a steady pace, he put the brakes on at the first and unseated his rider after ducking left. Joseph O'Brien's charge has to be afforded another chance given his level of ability. Placed in a French bumper, Kazakh D'arthel had a couple of these behind when second on his Irish debut at Listowel, although Korea, who made a bad mistake two out, is likely to fare better on her second start for Willie Mullins. Banana Three and Rapparee Champ have solid placed form and make each-way appeal.

KOREA could be all the sharper with last month's Listowel run behind her and can leave that bare form behind and strike at the second time of asking for Willie Mullins. Banana Three and Rapparee Champ have the best hurdle form, while promising Flat winner Mr Percy failed to get beyond the first on his recent hurdle debut but the fact he went off at 2/5 suggests good things were expected.

KAZAKH D'ARTHEL travelled well throughout when second at Listowel on hurdling debut and is capable of going one better

Dreaming Diamond

28
28/1(-460%)
(7) Dreaming Diamond 28/1, Bumper winner who produced just about her best effort yet over jumps when finding just one too good in a 15.8f Uttoxeter handicap hurdle on latest start in July. Changed hands since and by no means certain to build on that but she will be a threat if able to do so.
Bumper winner; changed yards but repeat of Uttoxeter second would see her in the mix.

13:40 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

DREAMING DIAMOND finished over nine lengths clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot in this grade at Uttoxeter in July and she has since switched to the Max Young stable. The daughter of Shirocco is only 1lb higher and she looks the one to beat. One Last Glance finished third when last seen over the smaller obstacles at Plumpton in January and is a consistent performer to note, while Fresh Speculation rates best of the rest.

The vote goes to FRESH SPECULATION, who shaped as though the drop back to this trip would be in his favour when third at Chepstow on his final appearance of last season. He resumes on the same mark and, with just a handful of runs under his belt, this 6-y-o's best days are surely still ahead of him. One Last Glance is second choice ahead of potential improver Mount Washington, while Good Impression will also be a threat if he puts his best foot forward.

There's no standout contender. Henry Daly has had a recent winner and FRESH SPECULATION has run well in both his handicaps.

10/1(+29%)
(16) Kind Of Blue 10/1, Has come a long way since winning his first two in the spring, taking another big leap forward when just failing behind Montassib in the Sprint Cup at Haydock 6 weeks ago. From the family of The Tin Man and Deacon Blues, both winners of this race for the stable, and looks poised for another big run.
Has made giant strides, only just denied in Sprint Cup; looks a Group 1 winner in waiting.

(17) Swingalong 17/2, Group 3 winner at York last year and better than ever when narrowly beaten in the QEII Jubilee here and July Cup at Newmarket (headed late on by Mill Stream) this summer. Another not seen to best effect in the Haydock Sprint Cup and she forms part of a mighty challenge for Karl Burke.
Has clear claims on her July Cup second; made the frame 12 months ago; hard to rule out.

(20) Flora Of Bermuda 25/1, Won the Group 3 Summer Stakes at York in July and has remained in form, finishing with running left when fifth to Montassib in the Haydock Sprint Cup. Plenty more on her plate now. Yard took this with 33/1 shot in 2019.
Group 3 winner; better than result in Sprint Cup; still improving and not without hope.

(12) Beauvatier 9/1, Won his first 4 starts in his homeland last year and placed on all bar one of his runs since, ending up with a lot to do when third in the Prix de La Foret at the Arc Meeting a fortnight ago. Goes well in the mud and an interesting contender, representing different formlines to the principals.
Less than a length behind Kinross when third in Foret at Longchamp; in the mix again.

(6) Montassib 7/1, Has taken his form to a new level this year and made it 4 wins from his last 5 starts when edging out Kind of Blue in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock 6 weeks ago. Handles soft conditions well and is a key player.
Has made into a top-drawer sprinter this year; Sprint Cup winner last month; solid chance.

Spycatcher

20
20/1(+20%)
(10) Spycatcher 20/1, Fared best of those held up when just over 2 lengths behind Art Power and Kinross in this last year and added another Deauville Group 3 to his tally this summer. Good run at the Curragh latest and conditions have come right for him again so no surprise to see him outrun his odds.
Goes well at 6f on soft; third in this race last year and has each-way possibilities again.

Kinross

Winner/runner-up in this race last two seasons; retains all his ability; high on the list.

Proven in the mud and has Ryan Moore in the plate again but this is a big step up.
Has progressed from handicaps; edged out in Group 3 last time; respected.

Annaf

(1) Annaf 28/1, Thrived this time last year, taking the Portland and Group 3 over C&D, and added another win to his tally in Group 2 in the Middle East in February. Likely to be at his peak following 2 comeback runs last month, seeming to find a bare 5f against him at Newbury, and not dismissed back here.
Should be suited by return to 6f but several others have stronger claims on form.

(18) Unequal Love 18/1, Has gone from strength to strength this year, taking the Wokingham over C&D before good runs behind Flora of Bermuda at York (third, not seen to best effect) and stablemate Montassib and Kind of Blue at Haydock. More needed again to take a hand here but it's not impossible.
C&D Wokingham winner; third to Montassib in Sprint Cup; may take another step forward.

Has won just one of last 17 races and was tailed off last week; would be a shock winner.

(3) Audience 10/1, Made all (raced apart from rest) in the Lockinge at Newbury on reappearance and quickly back to his best when defying a penalty in Group 2 Lennox at Goodwood, beating Art Power and Kinross. Off day when odds on for York Group 2 latest and has rare crack at 6f now with the ground probably not ideal.
Leading claims on Lockinge and Lennox wins; interesting contender down in trip after break.

(2) Art Power 16/1, Has form figures of 4481 in this race, finally landing the big pot he'd long promised when beating Kinross 12 months ago. Form mixed this year but was a good fourth in the July Cup and no surprise to see him go well here again with conditions in his favour.

July Cup winner; now returns from a break after below-par run in France; not discounted.

Hasn't built on 7f Listed win in May; needs plenty of improvement for fitting of blinkers.

Improvement required but he's fresh, handles soft ground and may have untapped potential.

Sixth in Wokingham and second in City Of York but faces a stiff task in his first Group 1.

Elite Status

12
12/1(+14%)
(14) Elite Status 12/1, Much improved in his second season, winning 6f listed and Group 3 at Newbury, clear of Kind of Blue in the latter. Not seen to best effect drawn away from the main principals in the Haydock Sprint Cup last time and could have a bigger effort in him at the top level.
Group 3 winner; poorly drawn when only eighth in Group 1 last time; worth another chance.
19
20th (19) Vadream (33/1 +34%)
Vadream

33
33/1(+34%)
(19) Vadream 33/1, Has blown hot and cold this year but ran well in the Group 3 Bengough over C&D a fortnight ago, a race she won in 2021 when also fifth in this. Fourth behind Montassib and co in the Haydock Sprint Cup but she'll do well to better that here.
Loves the mud; fourth in Group 3 over C&D two weeks ago but this is a much stiffer task.

13:55 Ascot Group 1 (Class 1) 6f  Race Class Flow

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

KINROSS seeks redemption after finishing second as favourite in the Prix de la Foret, having also occupied the runner-up spot 12 months earlier. Ralph Beckett's gelding didn't enjoy as kind a passage as the winner and could perhaps be marked up. Also a previous winner of this, he looks certain to have the race run to suit and is fancied to repay his supporters. There will be challenges aplenty, perhaps none more so than from Montassib, who took his form to a new level when winning the Sprint Cup at Haydock. French challenger Beauvatier finished a place behind the selection on Arc day and may not be far away, while others to note include Mill Stream and last year's victor Art Power, who arrives in similar form this time around.

KIND OF BLUE has gone from strength to strength in his first season, just failing behind Montassib in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock 6 weeks ago. He's since changed hands privately and certainly has the pedigree for this race, being related to the yard's 2011 and 2016 winners Deacon Blues and The Tin Man. There is probably a bigger performance in his locker and if he handles conditions he seems sure to go well. French-runner Beauvatier, 2022 winner Kinross and Montassib are firmly in the mix.

This is competitive and cases can be made for many, but the verdict goes to KIND OF BLUE whose progress this year has been meteoric.

14:05 Catterick Maiden (Class 5) 7f  Catterick 14:42 Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

SILVER ARROW showed marked improvement from his first to second start when third at Newcastle last time out, and the form of that contest has been franked by the winner going close in a valuable sales race since. The step up in trip looks like a good move and he gets the vote ahead of recent C&D runner-up Genbu, and Jachin, who wasn't beaten far at Redcar last time. Canavan and Saxon Raider cannot be ruled out either.

CANAVAN stepped up on debut when third to a pair of subsequent winners at Musselburgh 5 weeks ago and shades the vote over Genbu, who offered plenty to work on when runner-up over C&D. Silver Arrow left his debut run well behind when third at Newcastle and is another to consider.

Having shown clear promise here 17 days ago, GENBU is preferred. Saxon Raider is second choice, ahead of Lever Up.

14:10 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

IAMAGETAWAY ran well in a couple of decent bumpers last winter and shaped like he needed the outing when fifth in another useful contest at Sligo in July. Fifth on his hurdling debut at Wexford the following month, he is now tried in a tongue-tie and goes up in trip and down in grade in this ordinary contest. Formerly with Gordon Elliott, Yorkshire Escape was returning from 11 months off when fifth in a similar contest at Tramore and is entitled to improve for the run. Spinola Bay ran OK over 2m at Tramore last week and may be suited by stepping up in trip, while Nells Choice was well supported when returning to form at Fairyhouse and gets first-time cheekpieces.

SPINOLA BAY took a step forward when fifth at Tramore last week and, with the longer trip expected to suit based on his pedigree, he could well progress again and open his account. The dangers are headed by standard-settler Nells Choice and Iamagetaway, who is likely to improve on his opening effort in this sphere at Wexford.

NELLS CHOICE was backed off the boards when fourth at Fairyhouse last Saturday and this race won't take much winning

(8) As Tears Go By 40/1, Hit the target twice for Gordon Elliott in 2023 but it's been tough going in 4 starts for new connections since returning to action during the summer, most recently finishing well held on chase debut at Worcester.
Out of form for new stable this season but still worth a glance in the betting.

Record when fresh isn't compelling and goes without blinkers this time but he's a player nonetheless.

Gone up 12 lb for latest success but she will be a danger to all if her jumping passes the test now switched to fences.

14:20 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Innisfree Lass barely saw another rival when bolting up over hurdles at Southwell in April and she is one to take seriously on her chase debut. However, BELARGUS gets the vote. Nick Gifford's nine-year-old showed a lot more in first-time blinkers over an extended 2m7f at Huntingdon on his latest outing and can defy a 1lb rise. William Cody is another to keep an eye on after his second at Market Rasen in April.

While it's tempting to side with those with experience over fences, if WESTERNINTHEPARK and Innisfree Lass take well to the larger obstacles at the first time of asking they could emerge as the chief protagonists. Preference is for the former, who acquitted himself well in a valuable novices' handicap hurdle at Sandown on his final run of last season and he brings a good deal of potential to the table. Imac Wood has race-fitness on his side and is best of the rest.

Preference is for PETTICOAT LUCY (nap), who returned from a layoff with a pretty stylish win at Exeter a year ago and is on a good mark.

14:30 Leopardstown Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MINNIE HAUK was a very costly acquisition and connections will be trying to land a late-season maiden with her before she goes on to better things next year. She sets the standard courtesy of her runner-up berth over the same trip in Cork. Joseph O'Brien and Dylan Browne McMonagle continue to be a formidable partnership and they team up with Australia filly Dawn Spirit, who has to be taken seriously on debut. Jim Bolger's newcomer Grace My Love is one to keep an eye on in the market as she actually holds a Group 3 entry this month. There are winners in Guilty Pleasure's pedigree and she can improve upon an opening eighth at the Curragh.

€1.85m Frankel filly MINNIE HAUK made a very promising start when second at Cork over this trip recently and could be hard to beat with improvement likely. Calrissiana has races in her judged on her Gowran run, while Kalixa and Eternal Spirit can do better.

With improvement likely from her promising Cork debut, MINNIE HAUK should be able to go one better once handling this softer ground.

14:35 Ascot Group 1 (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Kalpana was visually impressive when winning the September Stakes at Kempton last month. The improving three-year-old remains of definite interest, but she has yet to prove herself under these conditions and, although pedigree suggests it shouldn't be an issue, a chance can be taken on TIFFANY. Three from four this season, with her most recent triumph coming in a Group 2 at Baden-Baden, she's been equally as progressive and, with slow ground certain to suit, the daughter of Farhh may provide some value. Yorkshire Oaks heroine Content holds all the aces on official figures but, on this ground, her Prix de Royallieu-winning stablemate Grateful might be the bigger threat.

A substandard renewal of one of the major prizes in the calendar for fillies & mares so it could be worth taking a chance on German-raider QUANTANAMERA, who looked a filly with a bright future when bolting up in a Group 3 on just her second career start and belatedly added to her tally at Deauville when last seen in August. Kalpana has progressed rapidly this season, so she rates as the obvious danger, with Tiffany, Content and Wingspan all having the potential to rate higher, too.

At least half the field can easily be given a serious chance but QUANTANAMERA gets the vote ahead of Wingspan.

14:45 Limerick Conditions Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A 10lb penalty for her Grade 3 victory at Leopardstown last Christmas and the fact that she has missed a couple of recent Flat engagements, either of which would have been a nice pipe-opener, means that JETARA may be somewhat vulnerable but her Grade 1 form in the spring still makes her difficult to oppose. Jessica Harrington's six-year-old ran with great credit three times in a row at the highest level last term and rounded off the campaign when chasing home star novice Ballyburn at the Punchestown Festival. Progressive handicapper Champella is race-fit, which may give her an edge over Feet Of A Dancer, absent since May, and last year's runner-up Riviere D'etel, who is more effective over fences.

CHAMPELLA and Feet of A Dancer could be the pair to concentrate on, with marginal preference for the former who looked better than ever when making every post a winning one in a Listowel handicap three weeks ago. Feet of A Dancer made it 4-8 over hurdles at Wexford on her latest start in May and she will be a big danger if coping with this step up in trip. Jetara brings top-level form to the table and she is bound to be involved, despite carrying a penalty.

Proven over this far, unlike some of her main rivals, JETARA can score on seasonal debut despite missing a prep run.

14:55 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

GREYVAL wasn't disgraced in fourth in a class 2 event at Market Rasen on her return to action last month and the handicapper has left her mark alone. Fergal O'Brien's mare might only need to repeat that level of form in order to regain the winning thread. Strong Belle ran too bad to be true when pulled up at Kelso last time and she is worth another chance on only her second handicap start. It's Easy is the pick of the remainder.

GREYVAL should be all the better for her recent Market Rasen fourth so gets the nod at the chief expense of Strong Belle who is weighted to go well if back on song after a lay-off. Ip Up is also in the mix returned to this sphere.

This may go to GREYVAL who held her own in a higher grade three weeks ago. Strong Belle is feared most.

15:05 Leopardstown Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Aidan O'Brien has an excellent record in this race and his SERIOUS CONTENDER could take the honours. This Wootton Bassett colt is going the right way after a fourth in Naas and a second place at Tipperary, and he holds some eyecatching entries. Another son of Wootton Bassett, Kilcrea Rock, arrives here on the back of a decent opening fourth in the Curragh, so he is a threat. Dermot Weld takes the wraps off Irish 2,000 Guineas entrant Raykir and a big run wouldn't be surprising. O'Brien's once-raced Medallion and his newcomer Glimmer Of Hope cannot be ruled out, while Sujet has shown ability in two starts.

KILCREA ROCK made a really promising start behind Sujet at the Curragh and might be able to improve past that one now and open his account. Serious Contender seems sure to win races judged on his Tipperary showing and has to be in the reckoning.

KILCREA ROCK was less than a length behind Sujet at the Curragh, doing best of those from rear and he should progress second time out

15:15 Ascot Group 1 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Charyn has four wins from six starts and two second places this year, with his victories including the Queen Anne here at the Royal meeting, although that was on a quicker surface. Second in the Prix du Moulin last time out, he is a worthy favourite but may struggle to give 6lb to Atalanta Stakes and Sun Chariot heroine TAMFANA. An unlucky fourth in the 1000 Guineas and beaten less than a length in the Prix de Diane, she hasn't run a bad race all season and may make it three in a row. Quddwah has only lost the once, when fourth to Charyn in the Prix Jacques le Marois, and is one to consider at a far bigger price.

CHARYN should have completed a hat-trick of Group 1 wins in the Prix du Moulin de Longchamp 6 weeks ago and can make amends in what isn't a particularly strong renewal. Improving 3-y-o filly Tamfana rates the main threat on the back of her stylish win in the Sun Chariot at Newmarket 2 weeks ago, while Facteur Cheval is a solid performer at this level and is also likely to be in the mix.

C&D Queen Anne winner CHARYN holds leading form claims and is taken to land his third Group 1 win of the season. Tamfana is feared.

15:20 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

She has yet to race right-handed, and this will be her first time out of mares-only company, but WORLD OF FORTUNES has impressed in two starts over hurdles and gets the vote to bring up a hat-trick. Liam Kenny's mare returned from a layoff to win her maiden over 3m at Wexford in August and followed up in equally emphatic style at Listowel. Any easing of the ground is unlikely to detract from her chance. Ninth Titan had stablemate Just For Love a long way behind when runner-up in a decent heat at Galway and didn't handle the track when well beaten at Kilbeggan last time. Cobra Queen, progressive in handicaps, merits respect off her new mark of 120.

WORLD OF FORTUNES has made a most promising start to her career over hurdles and is fancied to complete the hat-trick with further improvement on the cards. The Willie Mullins-trained pair Ninth Titan and Just For Love are feared most in that order.

Preference is for the likeable mare WORLD OF FORTUNES who has returned in fine fettle this year and should have more to give

15:30 Stratford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

An open contest and a chance is taken on GLYNN BRAE, who got off the mark at the first time of asking in a bumper at Leopardstown in March. Formerly trained by Stuart Crawford, the hurdles debutant looks an interesting recruit for Nigel Twiston-Davies and his horses couldn't be running much better at the moment. Whatsyourproblem bumped into two useful types when third in a Killarney bumper latest and he can be seen to better effect back over obstacles, while Lud'or makes most appeal of the remainder.

GLYNN BRAE overcame inexperience to run out a fairly cosy winner of a Leopardstown bumper on his debut back in March and makes plenty of appeal now going hurdling for a red-hot yard, so he earns the vote. Sonification appeals as the type to make up for lost time and looks sure to pose a big threat if taking up this engagement (also declared at Uttoxeter on Friday), with Lud'or and Whatsyourproblem others to consider.

There's substance to the form of GLYNN BRAE's bumper win at Leopardstown and he's narrowly preferred to Whatsyourproblem.

15:40 Leopardstown Group 3 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Aidan O'Brien's TRINITY COLLEGE holds a lofty rating of 103 after a 12-length romp in a Galway maiden and a close fourth in the Beresford Stakes. He only gave best in the closing stages at the Curragh and a reproduction of that effort ought to see him on the premises. O'Brien's Thrice wasn't troubled in landing short odds in a maiden at Listowel and looks ready for a step up in class. Joseph O'Brien's Emit handled plenty of cut in the ground when successful at Tipperary and also has the advantage of being proven over this trip. His stablemate Wemightakedlongway won well off the front in Cork and has plenty of potential.

TRINITY COLLEGE continued his run-to-run progression despite not being seen to best effect when fourth in a Group 2 at the Curragh 3 weeks ago and looks the one to beat back down in class. His stablemate Thrice rates the main threat after his impressive maiden win at Listowel.

Aidan O'Brien won this in 2023 and has solid claims of landing this with TRINITY COLLEGE (nap) who wasn't beaten far in a Gr 2 latest

15:50 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LUIMNEACH has two victories to his name and was runner-up to a tough sort at Sligo in August on his second run back from a long absence. He drops back from 2m4f, but has winning form over this distance. Brilliant Light won his maiden hurdle on good ground, but showed he could handle testing conditions when a creditable third in a Listowel handicap last month. He drops in trip and grade and looks a danger. A winner at Tipperary in the spring, Morepowertoya returned to form after a few moderate efforts when fourth at Gowran while Slip Jig, a maiden winner at Tipperary when last seen in May, and useful Flat performer Hutton Glen are handicap debutants to note.

Having returned to form when fourth at Gowran recently, MOREPOWERTOY could be the answer. Luimneach went close on his second start since returning from well over a year off at Sligo and he is feared most ahead of Brilliant Light, who is unexposed in this sphere and was a good third at Listowel last time. Lilian Bland will have an each-way chance if she puts her best foot forward.

BRILLIANT LIGHT (nap) proved he can go on any ground when third in a hot Listowel handicap latest and is effectively 5lb lower here

15:55 Ascot Group 1 (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Economics has been all the rage for this for some time and after keeping his perfect record for the year intact following a ding-dong battle with Auguste Rodin in the Irish Champion Stakes, he will be tough to beat. However, CALANDAGAN came from an impossible position to finish a length second to City Of Troy in the Juddmonte International at York, clocking some exceptional fractions late on, and a repeat of that might be enough to see the French challenger get the better of his market rival. Iresine gets on well with jockey Marie Velon and could steal the final placing ahead of Arc third Los Angeles, who appears the O'Brien number one.

Progressive 3-y-os CALANDAGAN and Economics do need to prove themselves fully effective on deep ground but they are clear on form and have the potential for even better. The former had 11 others, including Arc winner Bluestocking, well behind him when chasing home City of Troy in a strong renewal of the International at York and is narrowly preferred. Los Angeles, Iresine and Royal Rhyme can fight it out for third.

Being top on the figures and still improving, CALANDAGAN (nap) is taken to come out best in an engrossing clash with Economics.

16:10 Leopardstown Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This could be a very informative fillies' maiden. TAKEMETOTHEMOON is a half-sister to the mighty City Of Troy, which makes her of obvious interest. She holds an Irish 1,000 Guineas entry and represents powerful connections. Dermot Weld introduces another Guineas entrant in Bella Isabella, who is out of a mare who won at Group 3 level for the stable. Sea The Stars filly Candleford Green made 230,000gns at the sales and is a fascinating runner for Willie Mullins as her sister has been picking up big cheques in America this year. There is plenty to like about Guarded, a stablemate of Takemetothemoon, on paper, while Valencia has been out three times and her runner-up spot at Leopardstown reads well.

VALENCIA has shown more than enough to suggest she can win a maiden, including when fourth in a valuable sales event at the Curragh 3 weeks ago. Takemetothemoon is the standout among the newcomers being a half-sister to connections' top-class performer City of Troy

From the ones with experience, LADY IN PARIS appeals most after her encouraging run at the Curragh where she made up late ground

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

Having shaped as if a win over hurdles shouldn't be too far away on his last two starts, this represents a good opportunity for MIKIMOTO to get off the mark in this sphere. Martin Keighley's charge is entitled to have strengthened up since last sighted at Catterick in December last year and this extra yardage is a positive. Night Duty is feared most despite being absent since April last year, as he caught the eye when running on well over the extended 2m4f at Market Rasen, while Silver Thorn is also noted.

CARRIG KATE showed plenty in points and looked in need of further when fourth in a bumper at Southwell 6 months ago so, if the market speaks in her favour, she's a formidable player first time over hurdles. Mikimoto is an obvious danger and Night Duty can play a part.

Sean Bowen's mount MIKIMOTO was beaten by a useful rival in his second start over hurdles and he looks ready for this longer trip.

16:25 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DIVILABOTHER has given the impression on several occasions this year that he has a handicap of this nature in him and first-time cheekpieces might help Thomas Coyle's grey to make the breakthrough. The Markaz gelding split two well-handicapped mares when runner-up at Sligo in July and, after a disappointing run when favourite at Kilbeggan, was less than a length behind a subsequent Listowel Festival winner when a staying-on third at Galway last month. Locally-trained contender Hees Dynamite has shown improvement lately and has been placed in his last two starts over a little bit further, while Portarlington has shown glimpses of ability and may improve for stepping up in trip on his first start for a shrewd yard.

Several to consider in this open-looking handicap. DIVILABOTHER has yet to get his head in front but it's still early days for this 6-y-o and he tops the list in first-time cheekpieces on the back of a solid third in a big-field Galway handicap last month. A Nod To Getaway, Hees Dynamite and Maggie Walsh all arrive here on the back of good efforts in defeat, too, and they are feared most in order of preference.

HARVEYSHONOR has shaped with promise in his first two handicaps, the ground will suit and he should be on the premises

16:27 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

GRAND DUCHESS OLGA was a good third over 2m at Chelmsford and this slight step up in trip can work the oracle for Julia Feilden's runner. The four-year-old filly runs off an unchanged mark for that one-length defeat, which can be exploited. Trojan Truth failed to justify favouritism when second over 1m4f at this venue, but the extra yardage might unlock some improvement. The consistent Baileys Warrior isn't easily discounted either.

SIMIYANN scored in good style here a fortnight ago and can double his tally after a creditable second at Chelmsford 2 days ago. Daaris is feared most ahead of Trojan Truth.

Recent course scorer SIMIYANN came clear of the rest when second at Chelmsford on Thursday and is the one to beat off the same mark.

16:35 Ascot Handicap (Class 2) 8f  Race Class Flow

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

A wide-open handicap and one that hasn't seen a successful favourite since 2017, with a 25/1 winner last year. Thunder Run took a competitive handicap at York's Ebor Festival in August and he can go well with Ryan Moore booked to ride, but a 4lb rise may be enough to stop him. TOIMY SON has been targeted at this since his Cambridgeshire third and with a top-four finish in his last six outings and an added 2lb for future races, he is fancied to go close under Oisin Murphy, especially if he starts smartly. Elnajmm won here in July and he could be of some interest if first-time cheekpieces bring any improvement.

A host with chances. TOIMY SON has some good efforts to his name in strong handicaps in recent months and might prove the answer under Oisin Murphy. Elnajmm, Lincoln runner-up Lattam, who has a strong record fresh and on deep ground, and recent Challenge Cup third Bopedro head the dangers. First reserve Qirat already has one really good effort to his name in a big-field handicap here this autumn and would be a major player if getting a run.

David O'Meara has won three of the last seven runnings and saddles an attractive candidate in BOPEDRO. Witch Hunter is a threat.

EXACTLY's consistency could be rewarded. Since shedding her maiden tag at this track in July, she has posted runner-up finishes in a Group 3 and a Group 2 before finishing third in a pair of Group 1 contests. She is ground versatile, is comfortably the highest-rated horse in the field, and is advantaged by the weights. Her stablemate Antelope Canyon just lost out on an enormous payout in the Goffs Million by a head at the Curragh last month. He has plenty of talent. Slower ground is an unknown for Comanche Brave, who has good form in the book, while similar sentiments apply to One Smack Mac. Celtic Motif isn't one to rule out.

Aidan O'Brien looks to hold a very strong hand here and his EXACTLY is fancied to bag a second C&D success on the back of her excellent Prix Marcel Boussac third last time out. Stablemate Antelope Canyon rates a big threat though if continuining his race-by-race improvement, with Comanche Brave and Last Encore the pick of the rest for minor honours.

It's hard to get away from EXACTLY after the filly's cracking effort in the Marcel Boussac and she relished testing ground that day

16:50 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

Any Biscuits showed a likeable attitude when scoring over an extended 2m2f at Exeter when last seen in April 2023, and he commands respect off a 6lb higher mark, despite the lengthy absence. SAILED AWAY edges preference. Stuart Edmunds' charge was last seen scoring with the minimum of fuss over an extended 2m3f at Huntingdon in the spring and a similar effort may well suffice upped 3lb. Ezmerellda is also noteworthy.

ANY BISCUITS has a long absence to overcome but hails from an in-form yard and was on a roll when last seen out so is worth siding with here. The consistent Ezmerellda could emerge as the chief threat to Harry Derham's hat-trick seeker ahead of Begin The Luck and Brownstone.

It's well worth chancing the fitness of ANY BISCUITS, who was in excellent form in spring 2023 when last seen.

16:55 Limerick Handicap Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

First-time blinkers seemed to have a positive impact on JIMLI'S CAVE when he made the breakthrough over a little bit further at Downpatrick last week. The six-year-old has placed form at up to 3m1f and Donagh Meyler made good use of his stamina on the final circuit. Now 7lb higher, connections will be hoping that the headgear works again, although any deterioration in the ground would be a concern. The form of Lispopple's soft-ground win at Roscommon was franked when the runner-up was touched off next time, while Le Grand Vert has been in good form over fences and may have found the race coming too soon when disappointing over hurdles two starts back.

LISOPPLE improved from out of the blue to score at Roscommon last time but, based on the way he powered away, he's worth a chance to defy a rise. Ranger Billy is an obvious danger and Le Grand Vert is of interest returning to the smaller obstacles.

TULLYHOGUE FORT was beaten over an inadequate trip at Galway last time but this test will suit better and he has run well here before.

17:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

CORUNDUM was far from disgraced in fourth behind some progressive rivals at Southwell and the drop in grade can work the oracle. Lucy Wadham's runner shaped as if this extra yardage could suit when third over 1m at the same venue on his penultimate start and he makes most appeal. The biggest danger might come in the form of Show Biz Kid, who ran well when beaten less than two lengths in a Nottingham handicap, while significant improvement can be expected from His Finest Hour on his second start.

The form of SHOW BIZ KID's third at Nottingham in June has worked out and he can make a winning start for new connections. Corundum is feared most.

This can go to CORUNDUM, who faced a tough task when fourth at Southwell last time and is better judged on his earlier third there.

Plenty of Irish 2,000 Guineas entrants populate this field. CADOGAN ran a stormer when pipped by a short head on debut at the Curragh in May. The horse who beat him has since landed a pair of Group 2 contests, so the form is very strong. He encounters very different ground, but his sire's progeny are showing themselves to be ground-versatile. Wild Sapphire came home strongly for third at the Curragh this month and is a major player. Serengeti finished well to be a close sixth after losing his place in the same race and looks sure to come on from that opening effort, while Game Point is a debutant worth a market check.

Aidan O'Brien's SERENGETI really caught the eye when a running-on debut sixth at the Curragh two weeks ago and looks ready to take a big step forward now so he can edge out form-choice Cadogan, who might have to settle for runner-up spot once more. Wild Sapphire, Twain and Game Point appeal as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

This can go the way of CADOGAN who chased home Henri Matisse on debut and the step up in trip on soft ground is likely to suit

17:20 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

SUPASUNRISE bounced back to form on his first start after wind surgery when finishing runner-up behind a subsequent winner on his seasonal reappearance over an extended 2m4f at Southwell earlier this month. That effort should have teed him up perfectly for this and, having only been nudged up 1lb, a bold bid looks likely. Aworkinprogress scored comfortably over hurdles at Fontwell in March and would be foolish to ignore stepping up in trip on his chasing bow. Boys Of Wexford is noted too.

SUPASUNRISE added to his stable's excellent form with a positive return when second at Southwell recently. That form has been boosted by the winner since, so he's fancied to go one better. Chasing debutants Aworkinprogress and River Voyage are both of interest, too.

A good few with chances but BOYS OF WEXFORD is a winner waiting to happen off his mark.

17:25 Limerick NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SWITCH FROM DIESEL had smart form for Seamus Fahey last season and can strike on seasonal debut for new trainer Ross O'Sullivan. The homebred daughter of Yeats was a winner just over a year ago at Tipperary and ran a cracker against smart geldings at Leopardstown last Christmas before finishing second in a Grade 2 mares' contest at the same venue in February. Korinthia had Amboyna over three lengths back in third when winning on debut at Wexford in August and is open to improvement. The consistent Amboyna was impressive in a weak contest at Tramore, while Cailin Deas was tailed off in Listed company last time having finished third to a pair of subsequent winners at Galway.

KORINTHIA represents a top yard and made a winning debut in comfortable fashion a couple of months ago, so she's likely to go in again at the possible expense of Switch From Diesel, who has achieved a good level of form. Amboyna is also considered.

KORINTHIA beat Amboyna by 3.5l at Wexford in August and she can uphold that form. She is narrowly preferred in an interesting race

17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

OUTRACE rediscovered some form off this mark of 60 - 9lb below his last winning figure - when third over the extended 1m1f here and a repeat of that effort would see him thereabouts. Richard Hannon's colt should benefit from the drop in trip, and Tyrese Cameron's 7lb claim looks to be a positive too. Jez Bomb had excuses for his sixth as favourite over 1m2f at Beverley and a return to the track where he scored on his previous start means he commands respect. We'renotreallyhere and Apache Canyon head the remainder.

HITCHED and Harbour Vision won the 2 divisions of this last year and are of real interest again, particularly David Simcock's charge who is 1 lb lower and caught the eye at Lingfield 8 weeks ago. We'renotreallyhere and Outrace are also in the mix.

Top of the list is OUTRACE, who got back on track with a good effort over 9.4f here on Monday and remains well handicapped.

17:40 Leopardstown Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Joseph O'Brien's DESMOND CASTLE came with a barnstorming run in the Curragh, but wandered in the closing stages and finished second. He is a work in progress and the ground will be an unknown, but he clearly has an engine. Medici Venus has to give plenty of weight away, but her form has a solid look to it. She made the breakthrough in Listowel and there could be more to come from her. O'Brien's Montpellier Green was the horse who beat Desmond Castle by half a length in the Curragh so he merits automatic respect. Yamal could respond to blinkers, while Faoladh shouldn't be discounted in the first-time tongue-strap.

There should be more to come from MONTPELLIER GREEN on the back of his Curragh defeat of Desmond Castle and he can make light of a 9 lb rise. His reopposing stablemate may give him most to think about again, ahead of last month's Listowel scorer Medici Venus.

Montpellier Green beat stablemate DESMOND CASTLE in a 7f Curragh nursery last time but the latter can take revenge.

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

EVOCATIVE SPARK has gradually come to hand since joining new connections and Monday's effort over track and trip when not beaten far into fourth gave the impression that a victory may be just around the corner. The five-year-old is narrowly preferred to C&D winner Guiteau and Monsieur Patat, who was a determined winner here over 6f on his penultimate outing but has also tasted C&D success. Twilight Dancer has the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

Lots with chances but TWILIGHT DANCER should prove suited by this return to 7f so is fancied to resume winning ways at the chief expense of Ruth Carr's in-form veteran Reputation. Souffionne, Monsieur Patat and Evocative Spark all need factoring into this open handicap too.

Monsieur Patat is high on the list but EVOCATIVE SPARK caught the eye here on Monday and is handicapped to win.

18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ROSENZOO has put together an excellent record at this track during 2024 and a 1lb rise for his most recent second over slightly shorter here may not be enough to prevent him from getting his head in front again. A taking winner on her penultimate outing at Windsor, Warren Hill is another leading contender, along with unexposed handicap debutant Monsieur Fudge and Sandown third Drink Dry.

ROSENZOO has a win and 2 seconds to show from his 3 previous visits here and might be able to resume winning ways. Roger Varian's Warren Ways was better than the result at Windsor last time and is second choice ahead of unexposed handicap newcomer Monsieur Fudge.

Charlie Johnston's ROSENZOO can enhance his good Wolverhampton record. Fellow 3yo Monsieur Fudge may give him most to do.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 10f  Race Class Flow

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

An upwardly-mobile three-year-old in the height of summer, SALAMANCA LAD's progress stalled briefly but his most recent effort at Sandown over further was highly encouraging and a mark of 78 still looks workable. A determined winner over C&D last time out, Visibility can give the selection the most to think about, while Fast Steps is now just 1lb above his last success in July so has to be considered too.

CHARLIE'S CHOICE looks back on a workable mark returned to AW and might be worth siding with on his return from a short break. Visibility's recent record is hard to knock and he's second choice ahead of Salamanca Lad.

A chance is taken on ERNIE'S VALENTINE whose recent form-figures look uninspiring but who shaped with some promise last time.

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f  Race Class Flow

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

ARLECCHINO'S GIFT recorded his fourth success over C&D when scoring with a bit left in the locker last month. The five-year-old can launch another strong challenge, despite a 3lb rise, given today's rivals fail to inspire much confidence. Not Just Yet was narrowly beaten over track and trip in between moderate efforts over 7f and may get involved. Doctor Vuby returns to Tapeta 9lb lower than when runner-up here back in February and has a shout on that form.

BOMB SQUAD looked rusty after a lay-off when a recent 11th at Leicester and is fancied to take a big step forward now and bag a second C&D success. Saffredi has started out well for his new handler and could emerge as the main danger to John Mackie's reliable sort with course-specialist Arlecchino's Gift and in-form Vape also in the picture.

The solid contender is ARLECCHINO'S GIFT whose C&D win six weeks ago has been working out well.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

SPANISH ANGEL has won five times on Tapeta, with four of those victories coming at this venue. Now 5lb lower than when last successful here back in May, it could be the turn of Ruth Carr's sprinter once again. Zeno spoilt his chance when veering leaving the stalls here last time, although he won at Lingfield before that and is only 2lb higher. Course regular Banana has placed off today's mark on several occasions.

PAPA DON'T PREACH won in good style at Chelmsford in October and backed it up with a solid third at Southwell just two days ago, so he's worth a chance to resume winning ways in a thin race despite the quick turnaround. Spanish Angel and Street Life may prove the biggest threats.

With doubts surrounding many of the field, this may be best left to PAPA DON'T PREACH. Macarone can chase him home.

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

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

RENOIR was having only his second outing in a handicap when returning a cosy winner over C&D. He may well prove ahead of the handicapper on that evidence and the unexposed five-year-old is taken to reverse earlier running with Pysanka. The latter won here in September, although he found one too good back at this venue subsequently and Delta Legend makes more appeal off his current mark.

SEA OF CHARM has a solid record at the track and, although behind Renoir last time, the winner was much better positioned and he's fancied to reverse the form. Pysanka arrives in good order and should give his all again.

Low-mileage 5yo RENOIR (nap) opened his account with a good C&D win a fortnight ago and has plenty of scope for further progress.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
