1st (10) (7.5/1 +70%) Zaphod |
7.5/1(+70%) | (10) Zaphod 7.5/1, Foaled February 25. €56,000 foal, Zarak gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 1¼m Miss Down Under. Dam once-raced half-sister to very smart 1¼m-12.5f winner Spiritjim. Entitled to come on for the run. Dam placed on only start is a half-sister to French 2,000 Guineas winner Silver Frost. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (3/1 -20%) Rapid Mission |
3/1(-20%) | (7) Rapid Mission 3/1, Thrice-raced colt. 7/2, third of 10 in maiden at Punchestown (8f, good to soft) 18 days ago, finishing well. Shapes as though extra furlong here will be in his favour and he's a big player. Two Curragh runs before Punchetrown third, trip should suit, may make his experience count. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (50/1 -25%) Navajo Scout |
50/1(-25%) | (4) Navajo Scout 50/1, Twice-raced colt. Sixth of 10 in maiden at Punchestown (8f, good to soft, 50/1) 18 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Similar form in maidens over 1m at Dundalk and Punchestown, probably needs a handicap mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (2.5/1 +69%) Nine Lives |
2.5/1(+69%) | (5) Nine Lives 2.5/1, €31,000 foal, 70,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to 1m-1¾m winner (stayed 2m) Paddy A, while his dam was a 1½m winner who stayed 15f, herself a sister to smart winner up to 15.5f Montare. Yard in good form and he's one to note in the betting. Dam won over 1m4f and is a sister to Prix Royal Oak winner Montare, no stamina doubts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (33/1 -83%) Brave And Bold |
33/1(-83%) | (1) Brave And Bold 33/1, Once-raced colt. 8/1, last of 5 in maiden at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Likely to leave that form well behind in time but Hypnosis is the stable first-string here. Last of five on debut at Galway, likely to be capable of much better but hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 +14%) Del Posto |
12/1(+14%) | (2) Del Posto 12/1, Foaled April 9. €40,000 yearling, Magna Grecia colt. Half-brother to 1½m winner Prosper Legend. Market should point the way. Half-brother to a 1m4f winner, dam won over 1m, trip should not be a problem. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (125/1 -213%) Timeonourside |
125/1(-213%) | (9) Timeonourside 125/1, Once-raced gelding. Fourth of 5 in maiden (250/1) at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) on debut 19 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere. Ran very green on debut at Galway but managed to finish in front of Brave And Bold. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (9/4 -63%) Hypnosis |
9/4(-63%) | (3) Hypnosis 9/4, Highly promising individual. Fifth of 8 in maiden (16/1) at this C&D (good to soft) on debut 28 days ago, finishing well. This well-bred colt possesses plenty of scope for improvement. Promising effort when outsider of three for stable over C&D on debut, may feature now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (12/1 +0%) Sound Move |
12/1(+0%) | (8) Sound Move 12/1, Foaled May 24. Belardo colt. Brother to 2-y-o 1m winner Purple Dawn and 2-y-o 7f winner Approaching Bear. Interesting to see what the market has to say. Brother to two winners, unplaced dam is a sister to the top-class Dawn Approach. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Having got the hang of things late when staying on well to be nearest at the finish here on debut, the Aidan O'Brien-trained HYPNOSIS should be an entirely different proposition on this second start. A full-brother to two juvenile winners, the Galileo colt is bred to appreciate this trip. Rapid Mission ran well in a hot Curragh maiden on his second outing, before improving again to finish third at Punchestown. The Frankel colt has plenty of experience, which could prove vital in a race of this nature. Brave And Bold will need to come forward from a somewhat disappointing racecourse debut at Galway, but the Ballydoyle colt is surely capable of much better. It would be no surprise to see a much improved performance at his local track.
There were plenty of positives to take from HYPNOSIS' eye-catching debut fifth over this C&D and, likely to take a considerable step forward now that he has experience to draw upon, the Galileo colt looks the way to go. Rapid Mission appears to be getting the hang of things judged on his latest effort at Punchestown and he rates the clear main danger. Newcomers Nine Lives, Puente Romano and Sound Move all need monitoring in the betting.
The experience gained by Rapid Mission should be a big help but even so, preference is for HYPNOSIS who can improve from his debut

1st (3) (1.38/1 +0%) Goodie Two Shoes |
1.38/1(+0%) | (3) Goodie Two Shoes 1.38/1, Useful Flat winner. Just fair form so far in this sphere, third of 17 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 4/5) 30 days ago. Has the best form and remains with potential based on Flat form, so worth a chance to open her account. Smart Flat sort holds Final Decision on latest Down Royal run; looks a leading player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (8.5/1 +0%) Zoomtime |
8.5/1(+0%) | (11) Zoomtime 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 4/1, good third of 12 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.7f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Solid place claims but needs improvement if she's to open her account. Placed in two maiden hurdles over this trip; go well but needs a bit more to score. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (28/1 -250%) Lackaneen Mag |
28/1(-250%) | (6) Lackaneen Mag 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Second of 12 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Ballinrobe (17.7f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Should be on the premises. Second in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle last time and there should be more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (16/1 +20%) Shoot Champagne |
16/1(+20%) | (14) Shoot Champagne 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 12/1) on hurdles bow 13 days ago. Likely to do better at some point. Was novicey when beaten 38l in a Listowel maiden hurdle last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (150/1 -127%) Coillte Aris |
150/1(-127%) | (5) Coillte Aris 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Listowel (20f, soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Well beaten on recent hurdling debut and loads to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (125/1 -25%) Tropical Image |
125/1(-25%) | (10) Tropical Image 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 16 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Listowel (20f, soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Beaten 36l in a Listowel maiden hurdle on debut and has loads to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (50/1 -100%) Only A Dollar |
50/1(-100%) | (8) Only A Dollar 50/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 12/1, fifth of 12 in bumper at Tramore (16f, good to soft) on bumper debut 42 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Others preferred. Similar efforts in defeat in bumpers but will have to find improvement on hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (33/1 +0%) Dark Image |
33/1(+0%) | (1) Dark Image 33/1, Modest hurdler. Fair winner at 16f in bumpers. Eighth of 16 in novice hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 33/1) 13 days ago. Has to improve plenty on the form of her two completed hurdle runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (20/1 -122%) Lady Masquerade |
20/1(-122%) | (12) Lady Masquerade 20/1, Promising individual. 15/2, seventh of 8 in bumper at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good to soft) on bumper debut 34 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Open to improvement back over hurdles. Promise in her debut 3rd in a Limerick maiden hurdle but didn't fulfill that in a bumper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (9) (6/4 +57%) Silent Approach |
6/4(+57%) | (9) Silent Approach 6/4, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 7/2, creditable third of 16 in novice hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft) 13 days ago. Should give another good account. Maiden has run well several times in bumpers and over hurdles and can be a player again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (11/1 +21%) Final Decision |
11/1(+21%) | (2) Final Decision 11/1, Modest hurdler. Winner in bumper at Kilbeggan in April. Sixth of 17 in novice hurdle (28/1) at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 30 days ago. Not a bad Down Royal hurdling debut but has 7l to make up on Goodie Two Shoes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (4) (66/1 -164%) Ballerina Boxer |
66/1(-164%) | (4) Ballerina Boxer 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 66/1, seventh of 18 in novice hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft) on hurdles bow 9 days ago. Was well beaten in a Listowel maiden hurdle last week and loads to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) (100/1 -203%) Spyfall |
100/1(-203%) | (15) Spyfall 100/1, Making GB/IRE jumps debut. 12/1, last of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (12f, good to firm). First run for yard after leaving David Menuisier. Maiden on the Flat when trained in UK but was regressive on last two starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (100/1 -150%) Phoebe's Charm |
100/1(-150%) | (13) Phoebe's Charm 100/1, Flemensfirth filly. Dam (b81) bumper winner out of useful 2m-2½m hurdle winner Grangeclare Lark. Slipped up sole start in points (Mar 19). Others make more appeal. Slipped up on sole point' start when well fancied; will have to be decent to take this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (250/1 -67%) Madam Baun |
250/1(-67%) | (7) Madam Baun 250/1, Once-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 16 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Listowel (20f, soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Beaten a long way in a Listowel maiden hurdle on debut and can't be fancied. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SILENT APPROACH has been frustrating, but has a notable black-type placing over C&D in May. She has failed to win in six maiden hurdles but is reliable, bumped into useful types at Listowel recently, and can put her experience to good use. Goodie Two Shoes is probably, by some way, the best of these but her jumping was novicey on her recent jumps debut. Rated 100 on the Flat, she was well held at Down Royal and while capable runner-up Dame Rapide won subsequently, Goodie Two Shoes is possibly a work in progress. Lackaneen Mag and Zoomtime (under a 7lb claimer) finished second and third to Dame Rapide at Ballinrobe and have place claims again, while bumper winner Final Decision was well held on her hurdles debut. Shoot Champagne was beaten a long distance at Listowel.
GOODIE TWO SHOES has made a solid start over hurdles and she should get closer to her useful Flat form as she gains experience, so she's a confident choice to open her account. Lackaneen Mag and Sient Approval appeal as the chief dangers.
A smart Flat sort, GOODIE TWO SHOES ran well back to hurdles at Down Royal last time and can now get off the mark in this sphere.

1st (8) (6.5/1 -30%) Simply Sideways |
6.5/1(-30%) | (8) Simply Sideways 6.5/1, Four wins from 10 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (4/1) at Listowel (9f, soft) 10 days ago by 2½ lengths from Independent Expert, kept up to work. This 10 lb higher mark could find her out. Fourth win of the season when beating Independent Expert in testing conditions at Listowel. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (4/1 +43%) Trachonitus |
4/1(+43%) | (9) Trachonitus 4/1, 3/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Cork (8f, soft) 5 days ago. Likely to be on the premises once more. Second to Laughifuwant in Galway rated race, fair third off this mark at Cork on Tuesday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (22/1 +12%) Timeless Soul |
22/1(+12%) | (3) Timeless Soul 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 14/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good) 50 days ago. Made a decent start for this yard at Cork in April but disappointing three times since. |

4th (12) (14/1 +36%) Walhaan |
14/1(+36%) | (12) Walhaan 14/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Twenty-four runs since last win in 2018. 10/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 2 days ago. Others look stronger. Finished in mid-field behind Laughifuwant at the Galway festival, ran at Dundalk on Friday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (10/1 -11%) Saltonstall |
10/1(-11%) | (1) Saltonstall 10/1, Winner of this race 12 months ago. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Listowel (8f, soft) 12 days ago, slowly away. Looks competitive on form. Won this race last year, retains ability though held by Laughifuwant on Listowel form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (25/1 -79%) Migdam |
25/1(-79%) | (6) Migdam 25/1, 13/2, respectable second of 5 in minor event at Punchestown (9f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Stablemate of Saltonstall and Casanova. Second in five-runner conditions event at Punchestown, each-way chance if building on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (4/1 +56%) New Hill |
4/1(+56%) | (13) New Hill 4/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 22/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Punchestown (9f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Booking of Joyce a plus. Needs a couple of these to falter. Mixed form this season, one of her better displays when fourth at Punchestown on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (17/2 -21%) Cristal Clere |
17/2(-21%) | (2) Cristal Clere 17/2, Three wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Roscommon in September. 9/2, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Listowel (8f, soft) 12 days ago. Something to find on form. Completed hat-trick with Roscommon win, needs to reverse Listowel form with Laughifuwant. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (7/1 +68%) Booyea |
7/1(+68%) | (10) Booyea 7/1, Latest win at Ballinrobe in July. 16/1, respectable twelfth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Has work to do. Two handicap wins this year, over 1m1f at Gowran and Ballinrobe, blow best last two starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (17/2 +6%) Independent Expert |
17/2(+6%) | (11) Independent Expert 17/2, 8/1, good 2½ lengths second of 11 to Simply Sideways in handicap at Listowel (9f, soft) 10 days ago, running on. Enters calculations. Behind New Hill at Punchestown, more like it when second to Simply Sideways at Listowel. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (22/1 -57%) Casanova |
22/1(-57%) | (5) Casanova 22/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Listowel (8f, soft) 12 days ago, slowly away. Has good chance on pick of form. Losing run now stretches back over two years, a couple of good handicap runs this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (11/1 -10%) Save Your Love |
11/1(-10%) | (7) Save Your Love 11/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in July. 11/2, ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 47 days ago, merely closing up late. Others more persuasive. Below his best on a first visit to Dundalk, won six-runner Leopardstown handicap in July. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Despite being 1lb out of the handicap, NEW HILL appeals as one who may have been laid out for this race. A desperately unlucky-in-running fifth in last year's renewal, the Sheila Lavery-trained mare has most likely been targeted at a repeat for some time. In-form jockey Wesley Joyce is a notable booking, taking off a valuable 7lb, while a low draw has also worked in her favour. Simply Sideways has been a revelation in recent starts since adopting a more prominent racing style. Drawn out wide isn't ideal for such tactics but if able to get away smartly, the Tim Doyle-trained mare has a serious chance. Saltonstall was a comfortable winner of this race last year, but is 4lb higher this time. Nevertheless, the admirable nine-year-old holds strong claims.
SALTONSTALL tends to peak around this time of the year, as he demonstrated when winning this race last year before following up at Leopardstown, and the 9-y-o is taken to strike having dipped to an attractive mark. Stablemate Casanova has also been shown some mercy by the handicapper and he is likely to be involved in the finish, too. Laughifuwant is also considered but the hat-trick seeking Simply Sideways is opposable following a hefty rise for her latest success at Listowel.
This looks very open and it may be worth taking a chance with NEW HILL whose recent Punchestown fourth was quite encouraging

1st (9) (13/2 -8%) Mr Baloo |
13/2(-8%) | (9) Mr Baloo 13/2, 13/2, career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Up 4 lb but he's not taken lightly. Made all at Salisbury (first run at 7f) and well drawn to adopt similar tactics. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 +75%) Rednblue Sovereign |
4/1(+75%) | (1) Rednblue Sovereign 4/1, C&D winner in August. Seventeenth of 20 in nursery (22/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 38 days ago so needs to bounce back. C&D winner on a challenging mark but this is easier than York last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (10/1 -11%) Rating |
10/1(-11%) | (8) Rating 10/1, 16/1, good second of 9 in nursery at Sandown (7f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Needs considering despite taking a 2 lb rise. Second in a Class 4 nursery at Sandown, her best effort yet; just 2lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/2 +15%) Ebt's Guard |
11/2(+15%) | (3) Ebt's Guard 11/2, Fair maiden. Good second of 5 in nursery (16/5) at Newbury (7f, heavy) 9 days ago. In the picture once more. Only headed late on by a Hannon improver last week at Newbury; up 2lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (14/1 -17%) The Smiling Wolf |
14/1(-17%) | (5) The Smiling Wolf 14/1, Winner at Ffos Las in September. 4/1, ninth of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago. Needs to return to form. Won easily at Ffos Las (8lb lower) and perhaps the AW didn't suit him next time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (13/2 +7%) Pink Satin |
13/2(+7%) | (2) Pink Satin 13/2, Lightly-raced sort who scored at Windsor in June. Not discredited when fourth of 5 in nursery (11/8) at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and in the mix. On a dangerous mark and the tongue-tie could make a difference to her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (10/1 +50%) Barg |
10/1(+50%) | (6) Barg 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Ripon in June. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixteenth of 20 in nursery (22/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 38 days ago. Headgear is left off now with a bit to prove. This easier than York last time but hasn't progressed from his Ripon win in June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (3/1 -60%) Mercian Warrior |
3/1(-60%) | (7) Mercian Warrior 3/1, 15/2, much improved when second of 12 in minor event at the Curragh (6.3f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Will stay 7f. Starts off in handicaps on a lenient mark and the one to beat. Second to a smart prospect in a sales race at the Curragh; might be well handicapped. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (28/1 -27%) Sennockian |
28/1(-27%) | (10) Sennockian 28/1, Fair maiden. Below-par fifth of 6 in nursery (18/1) at York (6f, good) 21 days ago. Can race off a 3 lb lower mark but still needs to step forward. Started well but now has a bit to prove and he's drawn wide. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A number of these hold claims, but MERCIAN WARRIOR is the least exposed member of the party and his second in a valuable sales race at the Curragh three weeks ago looks very strong form. He may improve again for stretching out in distance and rates the one to beat. Ebt's Guard has been knocking on the door and should be thereabouts once again, while Pink Satin may bounce back to form with a tongue-tie equipped.
A few with chances but MERCIAN WARRIOR looks to have got in lightly for his nursery bow on the back of a fine recent Curragh second so earns a confident vote. Sandown runner-up Rating heads the list of dangers, although Salisbury-scorer Mr Baloo and in-form maiden Ebt's Guard can have a say too.
Ebt's Guard and Mr Baloo are big players but MERCIAN WARRIOR (nap) has to be of interest off this mark.

Off another 132 days but well handicapped and one to note in the betting. Didn't run badly on seasonal debut in May but not seen again since; others look safer. |

City Escape |
(2) (7/2 -27%)7/2(-27%) | (2) City Escape 7/2, 9/1, won 8-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy) 30 days ago. Eyecover on 1st time. Good shout in hat-trick bid. Bang-in-form mare who has won her last two over C&D (heavy/soft); commands respect. |

Gavin |
(8) (8/1 +33%)8/1(+33%) | (8) Gavin 8/1, Respectable second of 6 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Stratford (16.3f, good) 22 days ago. Modest on the Flat and work to do here. Triple hurdle winner in the spring; could be dangerous off basement mark back on the Flat. |

Leading claims. Very consistent mare who won twice at Bath in August; likely contender again. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
CITY ESCAPE clearly enjoys the testing conditions at this venue, as evidenced by her second C&D triumph in the space of a month last time out. The six-year-old is only 3lb higher than that latest victory and a bold hat-trick bid is expected. Lhebayeb would have likely finished closer but for being denied a clear run when third at Goodwood in September and is feared most, ahead of the returning Marmara Star.
CITY ESCAPE has been in fine form in the mud here and has a good chance of landing a C&D hat-trick if things pan out in her favour once more (needs delivering late). Returning 3-y-o Marmara Star could be interesting if taking to turf, while Lhebayeb remains at the top of her game and has to be respected.
The most interesting runner is GAVIN, who has done well over hurdles since the spring and now attempts to exploit his lowly Flat mark.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CAOIMHES PET has been absent since disappointing in February, but was reported to have finished lame on her left fore at Clonmel and might be ready for local connections. Her form at this distance was useful last winter and while her lack of race-fitness certainly isn't ideal, she likes testing ground and contests a winnable race. Kings Halo has been off since winning in March and while he too has obvious form claims and likes testing conditions, he would prefer further. Leroy Leroy has good recent form at this level but would prefer a sound surface, a remark that also applies to Florey Spud. Portarlington's form is generally poor, but he ran reasonably well on easy ground at Bellewstown in July and was well backed when falling at the first on his next start at Cork. Four-year-old He Picked Us might have improved following a mini-break.
A low-grade handicap hurdle that could go to LEROY LEROY who continues in form. The returning Kings Halo and He Picked Us are a couple of other likely players.
A chance is taken on the readiness of CAOIMHES PET whose Punchestown second last season is one of the best formlines on display

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Bells On Her Toes is well treated at these weights and warrants plenty of respect following her close-up fourth in Group 3 company at this venue, but DUNUM shades the verdict. Recent win and placed efforts in fiercely competitive handicaps suggest that he is up to this level and forecast testing conditions should be right up his street. The class-dropping Insinuendo also merits consideration with Colin Keane booked to ride.
DUNUM has proved ultra-consistent in top handicaps at up to 9f and looks more than ready for this switch to listed company. He proved much too strong for the re-opposing Snapraeterea at Galway in August and it's unlikely that a 4 lb pull will be enough for Joseph O'Brien's charge to reverse the placings here. That said, Snapraeterea is still best of the rest ahead of Insinuendo and Bells On Her Toes.
Willie McCreery has run INSINUENDO in 16 consecutive Pattern races and the mare may now take advantage of this drop in class.

Futurity entrant who was knocked out contention when close up at Haydock. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Golden West did the job nicely at Newcastle on debut and has every chance of following up, but SAYEDATY SADATY's added experience may just give him the edge. Andrew Balding's colt made up for an unfortunate Windsor experience when an easy winner at Kempton (second has won since) and, unlike Golden West, he also boasts solid form on turf. Victorious Street and True Wisdom make up the ingredients for a small but spicy event.
GOLDEN WEST made the perfect start at Newcastle 7 weeks ago and looks sure to improve so he's taken to remain unbeaten. Victorious Street might be the danger ahead of the wayward-looking Sayedaty Sadaty and the filly True Wisdom.
An interesting race in which all four have claims. VICTORIOUS STREET ran to a fair level at Haydock despite a troubled run.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Arizona Desert is likely to prove popular after finishing a close-up third on her stable debut at Newcastle recently and a 3lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent the daughter of Sioux Nation going well again. However, she may be worth taking on now reverting to turf, more so given that the extra distance may take some getting in testing underfoot conditions. CHRIS'S MATE finished a half-length second on his nursery debut at Yarmouth last Thursday and gets the nod off only 2lb higher, with Weston Court looking best of the remainder.
ARIZONA DESERT made a fine start for Dominic Ffrench Davis when runner-up at Newcastle and with that form having been franked she is taken to go one better. Chris's Mate rates a big threat though on the back of his improved Yarmouth, with Weston Court and Storm Alice appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
There was nearly 5l back to the third when CHRIS'S MATE was second on his nursery debut, and he could still be well treated.

SOLITARY MAN bumped into Lucid Dreams over C&D last month and appears suited by this staying distance. A course winner in July, he finished well in August, with the runner-up also scoring next time. He remains open to progression and can better his rating. Gortmillish returned from 609 days off to win twice this summer, with his Downpatrick form being boosted by the runner-up, third and fifth all winning subsequently. He missed two subsequent engagements due to unsuitable going and while clearly able, would prefer a sound surface and has plenty of weight. Lake Winnipesaukee could improve at this distance, but would also prefer good ground. Winning Smut, who is 2lb 'wrong' but partnered by a 5lb claimer, ran notably well here in May, finishing third to Ebor winner Absurde. He also ran well in the Lartigue at Listowel, but might also prefer faster ground. Hartur D'arc has been well held in handicaps, although his rating has fallen.
GORTMILLISH has returned an improved model over hurdles and can make it 3 victories in a row back from a break with his Downpatrick win having worked out. Lake Winnipesaukee could be the danger.
It could be worth taking a chance on SOLITARY MAN whose fourth in a novice hurdle over C&D was a much-improved effort.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Wille Mullins runs three and Sean O'Keeffe retains the ride on ARCTIC FLY after guiding the mare to victory in a Listed contest at Galway. As in her maiden win at Punchestown, the five-year-old made all the running and she can confirm the form with subsequent Ballinrobe winner Sherodan, who was second, and stablemate Williamstowndancer, who was a well-beaten seventh. Paul Townend is on Bialystok, who was seventh in the Galway Hurdle after winning a competitive handicap at the Punchestown Festival, although he needs to bounce back from an odds-on defeat in a small-field contest at Listowel. Samui was all out to win the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel but may be capable of further progress along with Birdie Or Bust, who was a facile maiden winner over C&D in May.
Willie Mullins has saddled the winner of this seven times in the last eight years and ARCTIC FLY could be another for the all-conquering yard, for all that jockey bookings suggest that Bialystok is the stable first-string. Arctic Fly raised her game when making it 2-2 over hurdles at Galway where she proved much too good for the re-opposing Sherodan and there should be more to come from this 5-y-o. Bialystok is second choice ahead of the unexposed Birdie Or Bust.
The mare BIRDIE OR BUST earned her crack at this level when hosing up in her latest maiden and she might be the answer.

Glenister |
(2) (3/1 +10%)3/1(+10%) | (2) Glenister 3/1, Typical improver for shrewd yard, making it 4 wins this term at Newcastle (12.5f). Good second at Wolverhampton since and may still have more to offer. Perhaps on a tough mark but still entitled to go well; has form on downhill tracks. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bug Boy |
(7) (8/1 -45%)8/1(-45%) | (7) Bug Boy 8/1, As good as ever when scoring over C&D in July and quickly resumed winning ways in good style at Brighton 52 days ago. Must be respected. C&D winner in July and went in again at Brighton latest; remains on a good mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ravens Ark |
(4) (9/1 +25%)9/1(+25%) | (4) Ravens Ark 9/1, On an appealing mark but arrives on the back of 2 poor runs. Needs to bounce back. Last year's 4th but now has to bounce back from two tailed-off efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Scintillante |
(6) (10/3 +33%)10/3(+33%) | (6) Scintillante 10/3, Opened his account at Chester in July and would probably have been second (finished fourth) had he not been checked in his run at Ascot (12f) next time. Saw his progress come to a halt at Newbury since. Faded disappointingly at Newbury last time but has the ability to bounce back. |

Dundory |
(5) (14/1 -17%)14/1(-17%) | (5) Dundory 14/1, Latest win at Doncaster in April. Easy to excuse latest run and was second in this last year off 1 lb higher. Considered. Chance on his Goodwood second and Hamilton last week was a messy race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Whipmaster |
(1) (14/1 -56%)14/1(-56%) | (1) The Whipmaster 14/1, Improved last season, completing 4-timer in the first half of the year. Took advantage of a falling mark when resuming winning ways at Windsor in June and went close there penultimate start. Failed to settle here next time. Capable but inconsistent and not beaten a rival on last two visits to this track. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Everything points to a massive run from the hat-trick seeking FORCEFUL SPEED. He built on his gritty Pontefract success when scoring comfortably at Redcar and today's extra quarter-mile is unlikely to pose any problems. Another plus point is that the George Boughey-trained three-year-old has top apprentice Billy Loughnane doing the steering again. Glenister is having an excellent season and should go well once more, while C&D scorer Bug Boy also holds claims.
Progressive 3-y-o FORCEFUL SPEED is taken to complete the hat-trick up in trip. Glenister is another who has improved this season and rates the main threat ahead of the in-form Bug Boy.
Sir Mark Prescott's GLENISTER has got himself high in the weights but that's not to say he won't be competitive once more.

Third of 8 in maiden at this C&D (soft, 9/1) on debut 17 days ago, just failing. Chance is there for all to see.

Can't be recommended after such a low-key debut at Bath last month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Dubai Hills ran below-par on his all-weather debut at Southwell last month, although Amy Murphy's colt is expected to be involved here on the switch to turf. Nevertheless, TAMFANA created a good impression when looking somewhat of an unlucky loser on her third-placed debut over C&D last month and holds strong claims today. The remaining protagonists may prove more competitive once receiving a handicap mark, with Battle Of Omdurman one to note when faced with a stiffer test of stamina.
This looks a match between TAMFANA and Dubai Hills. The former only just failed to make a winning debut over C&D last month and is preferred to the more exposed Dubai Hills.
With her debut effort behind her, TAMFANA can get off the mark at the second attempt. Battle Of Omdurman may chase her home.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Rain-soaked ground won't suit many but WALK OUT has form on soft and could be suited by this distance. A 10-race maiden, she has middle-distance form, ran well at Listowel, and being a five-year-old, could progress further. The forecast rain could scupper the chances of Londonofficecallin, who possibly remains ahead of the handicapper despite being raised 15lb for his Punchestown rout in June. Phils Choice has been withdrawn three times recently due to unsuitable ground and could notch the unfortunate four-timer, as heavy going won't help. Pour The Wine's form is also on good and is long absent, while On My Bike has progressed in summer handicaps but might also prefer a sound surface. Toor Moon ran well on good at Tramore, while Will It Be You showed improvement on yielding at Wexford and runs in first-time cheekpieces.
ROSSIES TARA has yet to get her head in front but is knocking on the door and looks the way to go here on the back of her very good fourth in a big field at Galway last time out. Both Walk Out and Phils Choice arrive on the back of good second-placed efforts and can chase home Mark McNiff's mare in that order. Keeffelee should find this return to a shorter trip in his favour and completes the shortlist.
In fine form on the Flat since his facile victory at Punchestown, LONDONOFFICECALLIN may be able to resume winning ways over hurdles

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Unpenalised for his Galway Hurdle success by virtue of it being a handicap, ZARAK THE BRAVE has been found a very good opportunity and is impossible to oppose. Placed in Grade 1 company at Punchestown and Auteuil, he was the first four-year-old to win the Ballybrit highlight since 2000 and he's well clear of these rivals on ratings. Party Central is a smart mare who has picked up a couple of Flat wins this year, but she was well held in mid-division behind the selection at Galway and a 6lb turnaround in the weights won't be enough to reverse that form. Fils D'oudairies beat Sharjah in a C&D Grade 3 in July, but faces a stiff task at the weights and is likely to be battling it out for second spot with stablemate Party Central.
It's hard to look beyond ZARAK THE BRAVE, who was runner-up in the Champion Four Year Old Hurdle at Punchestown during the spring and he scaled new heights when seeing off 18 rivals in the Galway Hurdle on his latest start in August. Fils D'oudairies could be the one for the forecast ahead of Party Central.
It's difficult to get away from ZARAK THE BRAVE, a high-class juvenile who became the first 4yo to land the Galway Hurdle in 23 years.

Percy Shelley |
(1) (8/1 +33%)8/1(+33%) | (1) Percy Shelley 8/1, Useful performer who was successful in 2022 in maiden at Longchamp, and minor events at same course and at Chantilly. Probably needed the run on debut for this stable at Southwell 18 days ago, so could be closer to form this time. Triple winner in France; made low-key British debut last month; might come on for the run. |

Burglar |

Seemed more tractable with hood applied when second in 5-runner handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 37 days ago and he's another who can't be discounted. Chased home exciting prospect at Newmarket in August; may still have a bigger run in him. |

Bizarre Law |

Naxos |
(5) (15/8 +25%)15/8(+25%) | (5) Naxos 15/8, Low-mileage sort who scored at Newcastle in April and enhanced a solid AW record when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time. Proven on turf turf and still going the right way, so could go one better. Progressive 3yo who looked suited by step up to 9.4f on AW last month; respected. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
This tricky track tends to bring the best out in SOTO SIZZLER (three-time course winner) and despite a below-par effort at Southwell last time, he'd be hard to resist at decent odds off a mark 6lb lower than his last victory. Burglar still appears to have more to offer judged on last month's second behind the unbeaten Measured Time at Newmarket. He is another to consider in an open race along with Naxos, who still looked to be improving at Wolverhampton.
NAXOS is on the up and might get his own way in front, so he's preferred to Terwada (engaged Newmarket Saturday) who shaped nicely in a competitive event at York last time. Burglar is another one with potential and a case can be made for all of the remainder.
This can go to NAXOS, who ran a big race when upped to a middle-distance trip on Tapeta last time and is probably still on the upgrade.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A taking winner here on his first start for the Mark Loughnane stable, HEARTRATE can follow up with the rise in distance expected to suit. The three-year-old has handled soft ground in Ireland and, given the ease of that latest victory, he can defy a 6lb hike to the better of Zoukster, who arrives in excellent form after winning three of his last five starts. Creative Style may not have won since June but cannot be ruled out either.
HEARTRATE was well on top when making a winning handicap bow on yard debut after 4 months off here 17 days ago and appeals as the type to run up a sequence in low-grade handicaps. Zoukster continues in good heart after an excellent season so rates the main threat.
Heartrate should go well in his hat-trick bid but the progressive ZOUKSTER may have his measure this time.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BYTHESAMETOKEN has won just once in 10 chases, but ran well on his recent return to fences and likes soft ground. A three-time hurdle winner, his recent form is strong and while he has top weight, he drops in grade from a useful Listowel run. Lightly-raced veteran Whatsafellatodo has overcome 271-, 927- and 366-day absences in his career and ran well on soft at the Galway Festival. However, his best form is on good ground, although he is suited by this distance. Jack Holiday's form is also on reasonable ground, but he ran well on soft over C&D in August, with today's rider claiming 5lb. Ricky Langford and stablemate Ardamir both have recent form but would prefer a sound surface. Marvel Fan has a lower chase rating but has been well held recently. Filon D'oudairies blundered at Listowel but had previously shown good form at winter venue Thurles.
WHATSAFELLATODO matched the form of his Ballinrobe chase win when returned to hurdles at Galway last time and he's fancied to continute his good spell back over the larger obstacles. Bythesametoken lurks on an interesting mark and is also respected, with the consistent Ricky Langford preferred to last-time-out runner-up Jack Holiday for third.
With the ground likely to be testing, it could suit BYTHESAMETOKEN most as three of his four wins have been in soft/heavy.

Ring O Roses |
(9) (2/1 -14%)2/1(-14%) | (9) Ring O Roses 2/1, Promising sort. 1 win from 2 runs this season. 5/6, won 14-runner novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) 124 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and she's open to progress. Beat a subsequent winner by 3l in a maiden at Ballinrobe in May, looks fairly treated. |

Royal Eagle |

Looks competitive on form. Ran on Flat last time, two wins and three places over hurdles this term, ground is a worry. |

Starman |

Cerberus |
(4) (6/1 +45%)6/1(+45%) | (4) Cerberus 6/1, Twenty-two runs since last win in 2019. 18/1, ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft) 8 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Good second on penultimate start at Kilbeggan and reproduction of that would put her in the picture. Former Grade 3 juvenile winner, signs of a revival at Kilbeggan, well held at Listowel. |

Wouldn't You Agree |
(3) (12/1 +64%)12/1(+64%) | (3) Wouldn't You Agree 12/1, Latest win in hurdle at Bellewstown in July. Fifteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 80/1) 9 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Won on good ground at Bellewstown in July, down the field on soft on last two starts. |

Clarens |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
STARMAN was acquired for 5,000 euros out of a claiming hurdle at Clonmel on Thursday and is turned out again quickly by his new connections after that easy victory over good yardstick Bal De Rio. The seven-year-old carries a 7lb penalty, but may be able to follow up in what doesn't look the most competitive of handicaps. Clarens won three in a row in 2021 and performed quite well at the Punchestown Festival in the spring. He made a pleasing return at Navan and the booking of Danny Mullins looks significant. Royal Eagle was placed at the Galway Festival before winning at Tramore, and lost little in defeat when runner-up on the level at that venue last time. She has plenty of weight, though, and would prefer better ground. Downpatrick maiden winner Ring O Roses returns from four months off and is another to note on handicap debut.
The unexposed RING O ROSES quickened nicely when opening her account in a Ballinrobe maiden on her latest start in May and, with improvement likely now pitched into a handicap, she could take some stopping if fully tuned-up following a break. Royal Eagle looks pretty solid and is next on the list ahead of Cerberus, who arrives here on a long losing run but is down to a potentially handy mark and perhaps the addition of blinkers here will aid his cause.
There could be plenty of improvement to come from RING O ROSES (nap), a maiden winner making her handicap debut

Letsbefrank |
(3) (13/2 +54%)13/2(+54%) | (3) Letsbefrank 13/2, Frankel gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including high-class 1m-1½m winner Fascinating Rock for owners. Belated debut but a fascinating newcomer for yard that had a winner first time out earlier this week. Frankel half-brother to Group 1 winner Fascinating Rock; interesting newcomer. |

A Touch Of Silver |
(4) (40/1 +60%)40/1(+60%) | (4) A Touch Of Silver 40/1, Showed ability at huge odds on debut at Windsor over this trip in June, virtually detached but good headway out wide 2f out. Likely to improve, probably more so when upped in distance. Comfortably held at Windsor in June. |

Instinct |

Martin Spirit |
(2) (80/1 -21%)80/1(-21%) | (2) Martin Spirit 80/1, Fair form in 2 races on Flat in France in 2020. Modest maiden handicap hurdler nowadays and plenty on his plate here. Inconsistent over hurdles for current yard; not seen on Flat since 2020. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It's hard to know what Soigneux Bell achieved in winning his sole start on soft ground in France, but Gary Moore's new recruit faces a tough task conceding 12lb to STRONG IMPACT. Roger Varian's filly has done little wrong in finishing runner-up in her last three starts over this sort of trip and won't get many better opportunities. Of the remainder, it will be interesting to see what the market makes of John Butler's newcomer Letsbefrank - an already gelded son of Frankel.
STRONG IMPACT ran a cracker back from 3 months off in a Sandown handicap recently and it will be disappointing if she can't get the job done here. French-winner Soigneux Bell looks the danger starting out for Gary Moore, although the well-bred Letsbefrank is an intriguing newcomer.
Consistent filly STRONG IMPACT is taken to get off the mark. Interesting newcomer Letsbefrank is second choice.

Sort to bounce back and handily weighted too. Well beaten after racing too freely last time but in form beforehand; slow ground suits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Port Or Starboard |
(7) (9/4 +32%)9/4(+32%) | (7) Port Or Starboard 9/4, Fair winner at 17f over hurdles and he posted a creditable third in handicap hurdle here 145 days ago. In the mix back in this sphere after a break. In good form over hurdles in the spring and is versatile ground-wise; could have a say. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Grandmaster Flash |
(4) (12/1 +40%)12/1(+40%) | (4) Grandmaster Flash 12/1, Arrives below par, remote third of 7 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 37 days ago. It's now seventeen runs since his last win in 2021, too. Took big step back in right direction when third over C&D in August; a possible. |

Dragonball Prince |

Triple Nickle |
(8) (16/1 -14%)16/1(-14%) | (8) Triple Nickle 16/1, Dual winner on Flat in 2021 but off the track for 13 months. Needs to hit the ground running on her comeback from 1 lb out of the handicap. Seems versatile regarding trip/ground but wasn't at best when last seen last summer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Runner-up on his last two starts, including over C&D last month, DRAGONBALL PRINCE deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion as he looks to open his account at the 13th time of asking. A taking winner off a 2lb lower mark on his penultimate outing at Wolverhampton, Percy Jones can give him the most to think about, along with Port Or Starboard and Triple Nickle.
TIN FANDANGO raced too freely after a break when ninth over C&D last time and is fancied to bounce back in style and bag a deserved first win of 2023. Dragonball Prince arrives in good order and is feared most as he bids to shed his maiden tag. Port Or Starboard appeals as the pick of the Bernard Llewellyn trio for place purposes.
After running very well in defeat on both starts last month, DRAGONBALL PRINCE (nap) is taken to go one better today.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
TULLYHOGUE FORT is a three-time winner who continues in form, and is suited by this distance and soft ground. He defeated Likable Chancer at Tipperary in July and while 5lb worse off, has a small edge as Likable Chancer's best form is over slightly shorter and on better ground. Leish Oscars Son finished behind Likable Chancer at Listowel, while Avec Espoir ran well over a similar distance at Listowel, with Definiteadare fourth, but would prefer a sound surface. That can also be said for Glenmalure Lodge, who gained a deserved first success at Ballinrobe. Movie King is rated 7lb higher over fences but heavy ground is also concerning. Black Samurai is a C&D winner whose rating has fallen in recent times, but prefers a sound surface.
LIKABLE CHANCER was unlucky to bump into a handicap blot at Listowel 9 days ago and remains of interest off his current mark. Leish Oscars Son and Tullyhogue Fort head the dangers.
Over this longer trip, the unexposed LEISH OSCARS SON(nap) is taken to turn around Listowel form with Likable Chancer and can score

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CAPTAIN CONBY didn't fulfil his potential over hurdles, but his sixth in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham showed what he is capable of and he was an easy winner on chase debut at Killarney last month. Dusty Sheehy's charge wasn't foot perfect by any means on that occasion, but should have learned plenty and can make it two from two over the larger obstacles. Multiple Grade 1 winner Sharjah is by far the best of these over timber and seemed to really enjoy himself when making a winning start over fences at Galway. It's late in the day for the 10-year-old to be going chasing and this race will help to reveal what sort of heights he can scale in this sphere. Senecia did well to beat subsequent improver Hercule Du Seuil on his chasing debut at Ballinrobe and, with a 10lb pull in the weights, may turn around Wexford form with the penalised Watch House Cross.
Smart hurdler SHARJAH jumped with aplomb when making a winning chase debut at Galway and, with the promise of better to come from him in this sphere, he is taken to maintain his 100% record over fences. Captain Conby was also pretty impressive starting out over fences in a Killarney maiden last month and is likely to emerge as the main danger. Senecia and Watch House Cross can do battle for minor honours.
The admirable SHARJAH would beat these every day of the week over hurdles and he was pretty much faultless on his chase debut.

Shot Of Love |

Likely to go well again from 3 lb higher mark. Made all to beat Overnight Oats over C&D last month; doesn't need to lead; respected. |

Overnight Oats |

Largely in good form since wearing a hood, most recently second to Shot Of Love here. |

Ottoman Prince |
(1) (5/1 +44%)5/1(+44%) | (1) Ottoman Prince 5/1, Sprung an 80/1 surprise on debut at Chelmsford (7f) last autumn before earning second career win on return at Wolverhampton in May. Still early days with him but he didn't appear to take to the track when mid-field at Goodwood last time, which augurs concern for him on this idiosyncratic course. Two underwhelming efforts on turf; first-time headgear needs to make a difference. |

Fly Zone |
(5) (8/1 -167%)8/1(-167%) | (5) Fly Zone 8/1, Placed all 4 starts in maiden/novice company this season, albeit not improving with experience and looking a touch laboured when second of 8 in minor event (11/4) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 22 days ago. Opening mark does look workable, though, and blinkers may sharpen him up. In danger of becoming a disappointing sort but addition of blinkers may do the trick. |

Chealamy |
(4) (8/1 +11%)8/1(+11%) | (4) Chealamy 8/1, Off the mark at Newbury (8f) in June and made the frame off higher marks on next 2 starts. Has to shrug off a below-par effort at Windsor last time but isn't completely discounted with cheekpieces applied. Has the ability to go well off this mark, provided she takes to first-time headgear. |

Hi Clare |

Oj Lifestyle |
(2) (16/1 +20%)16/1(+20%) | (2) Oj Lifestyle 16/1, Newbury maiden winner on second start last summer but hasn't fired in 3 starts handicapping this season and has something to find with tongue strap applied. Lacks solidity; chance depends on how well he responds to first-time tongue-tie. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Shot Of Love took well to this track when making all over C&D recently, but OVERNIGHT OATS was beginning to bear down on him close to the line and may be able to reverse the form on 2lb better terms if delivered a bit earlier. Hi Clare also ran well when runner-up over track and trip and should remain competitive along with Fly Zone, who may improve for the introduction of blinkers after hanging under pressure when second at Wolverhampton.
OVERNIGHT OATS finished just behind Shot of Love over C&D last month but the Muir & Grassick gelding is slightly better off at the weights this time and is narrowly fancied to turn the tables. Shot of Love made full use of an uncontested lead on that occasion but is clearly in top form and should prove a stern rival for the selection once more, whilst Hi Clare also ran well over C&D last time and merits respect.
Somewhat tentatively, one more chance is given to FLY ZONE. Second choice is Hi Clare.

Won from the front at Chepstow in June but others in this field look stronger. |

Thewaytothestars |
(6) (10/1 -11%)10/1(-11%) | (6) Thewaytothestars 10/1, Won over 7f here in August before following up at Windsor (1m) last month. 9/1, below form from widest stall when ninth of 12 in handicap at Chester (7f, soft) 16 days ago. Others preferred. Didn't fire last time but won twice in August (once on heavy) and her mark is manageable. |

Rival |
(5) (13/2 +46%)13/2(+46%) | (5) Rival 13/2, C&D winner. Again below form when ninth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Bath (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Needs to leave recent efforts behind from slipping mark. Needs to better recent efforts but won this race off 4lb higher in 2022. |

Sherood |

Zambezi Magic |
(2) (16/1 -129%)16/1(-129%) | (2) Zambezi Magic 16/1, Course winner. Offered little sent hurdling when seventh of 8 in novice hurdle (17/2) at this course (15.8f, soft) on NH debut. Best watched after 10 months off. Not seen since low-key hurdle debut in November but is very effective on slow ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Change Of Fortune |
(4) (17/2 -21%)17/2(-21%) | (4) Change Of Fortune 17/2, Runner-up at Windsor on penultimate outing and shaped as if still in form when fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (10f, heavy) 30 days ago. Respected. 0-14 but has posted two good efforts on slow ground since cheekpieces were added. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SHEROOD is the least exposed of these and shaped with plenty of promise on his handicap debut at Newmarket last time. Providing he handles the forecast soft ground today, he should run a huge race. Dual course winner Zambezi Magic is proven in the mud and it will be interesting to see if he attracts any market support on his return to action, while Change Of Fortune also merits consideration.
SHEROOD is less exposed than his opposition and he's fancied to take another step forward after an encouraging third at Newmarket on his handicap bow in July. Fellow 3yos Leitrim Rock and Khangai complete the shortlist, the former having shown more on heavy ground at Beverley last time, whilst the latter's best effort came over 10f here last month.
Dual course winner ZAMBEZI MAGIC has been off since last November but he excelled on heavy ground here last August.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CEANNDANA, successful over hurdles here in July, can get off the mark on just his second start over fences. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding was a very easy winner at Downpatrick prior to his course triumph and connections wasted little time in switching their attention to chasing back at the Ulster track on his next run. Jumping well and staying on well to finish third over a trip short of his best, the six-year-old has plenty to recommend him now. Point-to-point winner Read To Return makes a quick reappearance having just lost out over hurdles at Roscommon during the week. He has plenty of chasing experience so has to rate a danger. Battle Away, a stablemate of Ceanndana, goes chasing late in life but has a point-to-point success to her name.
READ TO RETURN was a gradual improver over fences last season and proved his stamina for this trip when runner-up in a Roscommon handicap hurdle on return, so narrowly gets the nod over Ceanndana, who wasn't seen to best effect under patient tactics at Downpatrick on his chase bow. Hutchie showed much improved switching to handicaps over hurdles last time and there could be better still to come now quickly sent chasing.
Arriving here at the top of his game, with two hurdle wins and a solid chasing debut lately, CEANNDANA can score.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
DANCING DAME found only one too good on debut at Killarney and was short of room in the straight when a creditable third at the Listowel Festival. Tim Doyle's filly should go well if she gets a clear run at things on this occasion. Switch From Diesel has been second to useful types at Ballinrobe on her first two starts and is likely to give a good account of herself again. Alice Morgan represents Wilie and Patrick Mullins, and the daughter of Yeats is fitted with a tongue-tie on debut. She is out of a bumper and hurdles winner from the family of Celestial Gold and Fiveforthree. There was money around for Glens Lullaby before she was scratched from her intended debut at Roscommon due to soft ground. That could be a problem again but John Gleeson is a good booking for the Mount Nelson filly, who is out of a Grade 1-winning hurdler who was unbeaten in three bumpers.
The vote goes to FAMILIAR DREAMS, who arguably posted her best effort yet when runner-up at Wexford in May and she is taken to deservedly get her head in front. Confidence behind likely-looking newcomer Alice Morgan in the betting would look highly significant and she is greatly respected. Switch From Diesel is third choice, albeit only marginally as Dancing Dame is also pretty high on the shortlist.
The Mullins newcomer ALICE MORGAN is out of a bumper winner from a fine jumping family and has to be of strong interest.

(1) (4/1 +38%)4/1(+38%) | (1) Farasi Lane 4/1, Latest win at Ascot in July and arrives on the back of a couple of creditable efforts in second, running on well at Wolverhampton on latest.

Man Of Eden |
(5) (5/2 +25%)5/2(+25%) | (5) Man Of Eden 5/2, AW maiden winner on yard debut in January. Has drawn a blank in handicaps since but there have been several good efforts and he wasn't seen to best effect at Ascot last time. Worth considering. Not added to his AW maiden win in January but he's regularly run well at 7f-1m; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Secret Strength |
(8) (7/1 +7%)7/1(+7%) | (8) Secret Strength 7/1, Scored at Newbury in June and back on track when a staying-on second to Marley Park over C&D last time. Up 2 lb for that and not the most reliable, so unlikely to reverse form. Not easy to win with but ran well behind Marlay Park here last time when hampered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Marlay Park |
(3) (10/3 -11%)10/3(-11%) | (3) Marlay Park 10/3, Likeable type who added to a terrific C&D record when beating Secret Strength 17 days ago. Another big effort seems assured if the pace is solid. Four-time C&D winner including this race last year; needs a career best off current mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bresson |
(2) (11/2 +27%)11/2(+27%) | (2) Bresson 11/2, Useful juvenile at up to 7f. Shaped as if retaining all his ability when 4 lengths fifth of 13 in 7f Goodwood handicap on reappearance. Has produced a couple of tame efforts subsequently, though. Not at his best over 6f the last twice; down in class and back to 7f so not a lost cause. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Maxi Boy |
(4) (16/1 -33%)16/1(-33%) | (4) Maxi Boy 16/1, Hasn't won for a while and latest effort at Kempton was rather uninspiring. Mark is a handy one but others make more appeal. 0-20 since his debut win; solid run on penultimate start but less good latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bowman |
(7) (16/1 -220%)16/1(-220%) | (7) Bowman 16/1, Ended last season out of form and was down the field over C&D on return. Could strip fitter for that and his mark has become very appealing. Front-runner; C&D winner; well beaten last three starts and too much to prove for comfort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Little Boy Blue |
(6) (18/1 +10%)18/1(+10%) | (6) Little Boy Blue 18/1, Showed a good attitude to edge out an in-form rival at Chepstow in June and posted several solid efforts subsequently. Found run of form coming to an end at Chester last time but no surprise if he's back on his game. Below par latest but this year's best gives him claims & he's got a solid record at Epsom. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Last year's winner Marlay Park took full advantage of a sliding mark when notching a fourth C&D success but a 4lb rise may leave him vulnerable in a rematch with stablemate SECRET STRENGTH (raised 2lb), who almost reeled him having being denied a clear run at a crucial stage. Farasi Lane and Man Of Eden are others who could be judged unlucky losers recently, although a sharp 7f is possibly not ideal for either.
MAN OF EDEN has shaped as if ahead of his mark on more than one occasion and, having had excuses at Ascot last time, he's worth a chance to belatedly put it all together. Course-specialist Marlay Park is an obvious threat and Farasi Lane should go well again.
Several possibles but FARASI LANE is enjoying a good season and is marginally preferred to Man Of Eden.

Willingly |
(4) (11/4 +21%)11/4(+21%) | (4) Willingly 11/4, C&D winner. First run since leaving Seamus Durack when creditable third of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 6 days ago. Should be thereabouts once more. C&D winner; pleasing start back with this yard when 3rd at Hamilton on Monday; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sugar Hill Babe |
(6) (12/1 +40%)12/1(+40%) | (6) Sugar Hill Babe 12/1, Winner at Bath in August. 22/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, soft) 16 days ago. Not firing presently. She has followed her Bath win with two lacklustre efforts at Chester; vulnerable once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rajwaan |
(1) (15/2 -7%)15/2(-7%) | (1) Rajwaan 15/2, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 8-runner nursery at Southwell (5f, 11/8), bit in hand. Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Not the easiest to way up but has some potential if he's tuned up. Makes stable debut after 11-month absence but still low mileage and conditions should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair And Square |
(7) (16/1 +20%)16/1(+20%) | (7) Fair And Square 16/1, One win from 42 Flat runs. Winner at Bath in August. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm, 11/1) 25 days ago, going off too hard. Not seen to best effect last time and could bounce back. 13lb rise for his Bath win (at the 41st attempt) looks severe; hard to recommend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ange De L'amour |
(2) (17/2 -89%)17/2(-89%) | (2) Ange De L'amour 17/2, 14/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, firm) 25 days ago. Clearly retains plenty of ability and could feature if he goes the right way from that reappearance. Solid effort at Bath on her return but something to prove on ground slower than good. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SHESADABBER was disappointing on the all-weather at Southwell last time but could bounce back to form on her turf return. She won at Bath and Catterick in the month of August, and forecast soft ground today should pose no problems. Past C&D winner Willingly cuts back in distance after showing plenty of speed over 6f at Hamilton recently and she makes plenty of appeal, while Ange De L'Amour is entitled to improve for her comeback third at Bath.
Although not much of a threat when second on debut for a new yard at Brighton last time, HEY MR is on a handy mark and this is a thin race, so he gets the nod over Willingly who ran with credit when third at Hamilton 6 days ago. Ange de L'Amour is also of interest.
Shesadabber has been in good form for David Evans but WILLINGLY is marginally preferred this time.

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.
