Today's Free Horse Racing Tips - Ireland & UK

- SALAHUDIN (1) has a fabulous record thus far and ran a cracker in his penultimate race in Listed company. He looks difficult to oppose. HASAPIKO (5) is lightly raced, notching up some attractive form and is back down in class, should be involved. KAMMURI DIAMOND (6) has travelled to a few courses but caught the eye last time. BEL ET BIEN (2) has a chance of reeling off the hat trick.

- MIRABAD (4) won on debut and has collected stakes ever since. The one to beat. COPPER (2) was victorious last time and can follow up. GOLD MOUNTAIN (5) is another that is ultra-consistent and should be in the firing line and MYSTIC (1) will have plenty of followers. Expect a bold effort and is a must for most bets.

- INDIE BRIGHT (4) comes into the race off a very encouraging debut and with natural improvement, should win. MARKER (2) finished 5th first time at school and has plenty of scope to improve. Expect better. BEST LOOKING (6) returns to France and can start getting closer with 2 runs under the belt and BREIZHY GIRL (5) can improve even more to get much closer now. Place claims.

- WAZLERS (2) is well tried but looks ready to set herself free from the maiden ranks. ADELA (10) is lightly raced and won her penultimate start, she should be right there, fighting out the finish. CLOSE TO YOU (6) ran well last time and is a must for all bets. Both SALEYA (3) and SHADE (8) can also be given a mention in this wide open contest.

- BEST OF LIGHT (7) shows pace, has placed 5 from 5 and comes into the race with strong each way claims. YOLLILAL (8) has also placed 5 from 5 and should not be a maiden for too much longer. Strong claims against these. DESCARTES (2) made a promising debut last month and with natural progression should provide plenty of cheek. MA MOME (9) has won 4 times already and can never be dismissed.

- SNEAKY (5) is starting to learn what racing is all about. She can go close and is the firm first choice. LAWRENCE (6) has fair recent form and should be right there at the business end. MAGIC SWORD (2) is definitely worth considering. It has been some time since his last win but he is a 5 time winner. GLICOURT (1) is never too far adrift the action and is a natural inclusion for the quartet.

- EXCALIBUR (10) boasts encouraging recent form and a win at his last start. He has the credentials to be a serious proposition again. FUCHSIA (12) went close recently and won 3 starts back. This level of form holds her in good stead. DROGO (14) was a winner recently at Chantilly and can maintain this winning form. TRUE ROMANCE (6) disappointed last time but should serve up a lot better now.

- ALMAZORA (9) relishes this distance and is knocking at the door. She is confidently picked to go one better. DREAM AGAIN (8) won recently over 2900m and followed that up with a huge effort. She should be right there at the finish. SADARAK (1) has had plenty racing and has won many races. Can never be ignored from any bets and MONFRERE (4) can do way better than he has been recently.

- KUNG FU QUICK (14) has ability and if smart can win on Mounted race debut. KEY BISCAYNE (13) is in very good form with two wins in his last three starts and can score on Mounted race debut. KILL AND KISS (7) is improving and coming off a nice win so deserves respect. KINGSMAN D'EOLE (10) is another that is trying a Mounted that is capable of winning.

- HARLEM DE BUCY (8) is clearly better than his last two runs would suggest. He is barefoot and ready to strike back. HE AND ME (6) showed improvement when fifth last time out and is barefoot and ready to a do a lot better in an open looking race. BILO JEPSON (9) is distance suited and in good form so deserves respect. ISLA JET (5) does not always show his best side but is capable of winning when smart.

- JAVA WIC (12) is unbeaten in five Mounted races. There is no real resaon not to expect win number six. JET DES MALBERAUX (2) is improving and won well last time out so could be a threat. JANZIBAR (16) is a course and distance winner who deserves respect. JACK DRY (14) has disqualification issues but is capable of contesting the finish.

- KROSS FINGERS (9) was not disgraced when fifth last time out at this course and should do a lot better this time. Big chance. KOMIFO (4) is improving and is hat-trick seeking after some nice wins. KAMOUR (10) has been good so far and looking to complet a treble. KAPORAL VISAIS (6) ran well over this course and distance last time out and could break the ice.

- JOLIE DE CORTEM (9) is lethal over this distance and can bounce back to score in a competitive race. JUST WITH US (12) ran well when fourth in his penultimate start and has a winning chance. JERIDIA MENUET (3) has ben in good form of late and could be ready to break a long losing run. JEMILLIA BELLA (5) indicated her wellbeing with a good runner-up run last time out and can go one better.

- KASSIOPEE WIND (8) showed improvement when fourth at this course last time and could do a lot better this time. KILL JOY LADY (9) has only been modest this year but she has ability and is capable of bouncing back to victory. KOMEDIE SOMOLLI (1) ran well well over this course and distance last time out and can go one better with further improvement likely. KAPELLA DRY (3) is hard to trust but is not out of it.

- A very weak race and anything is possible. DERBY DU DOLLAR (16) returns to claiming class and is barefoot and ready to strike. ERODE LUDOIS (12) has been in poor form of late but has to be considered a possible winner down in a claimer. EDEN DE L'ITON (9) has won at this course and is not out of it. DEAR MONEY (8) is one of many more that are capable of winning this race.

- This could be the day for LASH PERRINE (8) who has placed in two attempts and looks to claim his first career victory. LUCIANO STAR (7) came out victorious in his second run and can double up. LOVER DES BROUSSES (4) has yet to win but did well when runner up previously and is capable of contesting the finish. LILAS CASTELLE (3) can go one better after previous runner up run.

By Donal Murphy - This looks a good opportunity for SWEETEST. She beat five of these over her first three starts and should be able to confirm the form now. A E420,000 yearling purchase, the Aidan O'Brien trained bay finished third to Prime Art at Naas on her most recent outing, with that one since giving the form a boost by claiming a Group 3 at Ayr on Saturday. Heavenly Being was another expensive yearling purchase and is a half-sister to 2021 Matron Stakes winner No Speak Alexander. The Jessica Harrington-trained bay has two solid efforts to her name and looks well-capable of making her presence felt. Verified is surprisingly rated higher than the selection and it'll be interesting to see how he fares. Sixth of seven in the Blenheim Stakes at Fairyhouse last week, he should give a good account of himself. A fine third on her most recent start at the Curragh, Staysound Susie is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Bonbon is another that can't be discounted.

By Donal Murphy - Races of this nature are rarely appealing from a betting perspective and this one is no exception. KENDALL ROY justified plenty of market support when successful at Naas less than a fortnight ago and he might be able to follow-up. The tongue-strap which was fitted for the first time at Naas, remains in place now and it'll be interesting to see how far he can progress. Fourth, fifth and sixth in the valuable Goffs Sportsman's Challenge, Velvet Skies, Bid For Chester and Ocean Baroque renew rivalries and all have solid claims. The latter is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time and with Conor Stone Walsh claiming a valuable 7lb, he should go close. Top-weight Alpha Cephi and Navan winner Kiki Roberts are other leading hopes.

By Donal Murphy - RUN FORREST RUN is the suggestion in this wide-open affair. Successful on soft ground at the Curragh in May, he has performed with credit in four starts since. Not beaten far when seventh at Listowel last week, the Bobby's Kitten five-year-old will be ridden by Conor Stone-Walsh who claims a valuable 7lb. With Colin Keane booked to ride, Rose Of Malta is given second preference. Twice a runner-up, she was a solid fourth of 25 on her most recent start and a reproduction of that effort might be good enough to take this. Down to a career low mark of 48, it'll be interesting to see how six-time winner Stanhope fares, while fellow handicap veteran Teddy Boy is another that warrants respect. In truth, a case can be made for many others, with Improving (first time blinkers), Markievicz, Es Vedra and Eriskay a few more for the shortlist.

By Donal Murphy - COUMSHINGAUN might be able to bounce back to form in this competitive heat. After three places efforts in early summer, the Fastnet Rock four-year-old was successful at the Curragh in July but has been ultimately disappointing since. Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time now and with teenage apprentice Calum Hogan claiming a valuable 10lb, it'll be disappointing if she fails to make an impact. Handicap debutant Daisy Jones is given second preference. The Takashi Kodama-trained five-year-old had four subsequent winners in behind when second on her penultimate start at Navan and she looks well-treated on a mark of 64. A dual course victor, top-weight Screen Siren is sure to have plenty of supporters as she bids to win over six-furlongs for the first time. Amanirenas, Iva Batt and Saturn Seven are other leading hopes.

By Tom Weekes - WENDLA is a granddaughter of Hasili, which produced six Group 1 winners, including Dansili and this filly's dam Intercontinental. Intercontinental has yet to produce a foal of note and while the selection is her 12th, is by a stallion which has produced smart soft-ground winners and represents a yard with an excellent course record. Ezeliya was supported when showing promise on debut. Out of a Group 2 winner and from the family of Ascot Gold Cup winners Enzeli and Estimate, she should improve from Leopardstown - having been slowly away, but meets softer ground. Flight Of Fancy is a sister to six smart winners, including top-level victor Johannes Vermeer. Her rider also claims 5lb but her yard's debutantes generally improve from debut. Stablemate Get looks second-string but is a sister to three black-type performers and was a 360,000gns yearling. Into The Grove, a half-sister to a Group 2 winner, and Higher Leaves, a half-sister to a Group 3 winner, could each be smart. Whisper A Prayer was behind Ezeliya on debut while With Style needs to improve.

By Tom Weekes - Dependable POWER UNDER ME is suited by this distance and soft ground. His form at a mile is smart and while he shoulders top weight, holds Lord Massusus on a good run in a July Group 2, when he met minor traffic. Three-year-old Lord Massusus also likes a mile and won a Group 3 in August. He has 4.6 lengths to find with the selection on July Leopardstown form and, due to weight-for-age, is now 2lb worse off. Self Belief revels in soft and also won a Group 3 in July. He too is dependable but dropping to a mile mightn't be ideal. French import Caracal likes this distance and while he has more on his plate than at Tipperary, likes soft and should progress fitness-wise from that 511-days reappearance run. Dropping-in-grade Proud And Regal won a juvenile Group 1 over this distance but might now prefer a longer distance and should improve from today's mini-break reappearance run. Statement likes soft but finished behind Clever And Cool, which is declared to run on Sunday, at Tipperary.

By Tom Weekes - BANG PO ran notably well when second at the Galway festival and competes from a career low rating. His juvenile form was over sprint distances but has good recent form at this distance and finished mid-field when dropped to seven furlongs at the Curragh last month. Nine days earlier, he had finished second and between two well-handicapped, subsequent winners over this distance at Galway. Asisaid won in first-time blinkers in July and while absent since, connections might have been waiting for easy ground. His form is in-and-out but blinkers are reapplied and he is just 3lb higher than when winning at Naas. Zephron has been running well over seven furlongs, likes soft ground and is just 1lb higher than when second at Listowel last week. Samhradh returns from a break and is open to progression being a lightly-raced three-year-old. Skontonovski likes a mile and is ground-versatile but was well held at Gowran recently while Tasmanian Girl wasn't beaten far at Roscommon but drops markedly in distance.

- Broctune Red has strong claims on the form of his half-length third over this trip at Newcastle last month and he is able to race off a 5lb lower mark now back on grass. However, his record of just one win from 24 starts on turf tempers enthusiasm and preference is for WESTERN BEAT, who went close off a 1lb higher perch over this C&D on her penultimate outing and she seems to like it here. Star Start got within half a length of landing a 1m2f double at Leicester on his latest outing and should play a leading role again, despite going up 4lb for that effort.

- MIDDLESEX caught the eye picking up well for third after being outpaced on debut over a similar trip at Wolverhampton and, with that experience under her belt, Charlie Johnston's filly is fancied to improve past Really Darn Hot to score here. The latter was a couple of lengths ahead of the selection in second that day but subsequently failed to land a serious blow at Lingfield and was soundly beaten on her sole turf start, albeit in a much tougher race than this. Nina Rapida has shown signs of ability in two 7f outings and should appreciate this step up in trip.

- Pontefract winner ZIGGY'S CONDOR filled the runner-up berth in a competitive sales race over 6f at York before finishing third over the same C&D 16 days ago, form which has been boosted by the fourth scoring since. This looks easier and he is fancied to make the drop in trip a winning one, possibly at the main expense of Gladly Ever After, who also finished ahead of a subsequent winner when third over a furlong further at Windsor last time. Circus Lion only found one too good at Redcar last Monday and completes the shortlist.

- Korker (14th) retains ability and holds a reasonable chance of returning to winning ways. However, he also has a habit of fluffing the start and was a long way adrift of Looking For Lynda (eighth) when they clashed at York last month. Nevertheless, this is a drop in class for MARINE WAVE, who was placed in the Arran Stakes at Ayr last week and is hard to oppose with the age and sex allowances boosting her claims.

- Conde sets a respectable standard and, given this is easier than the class 2 nursery he contested at Goodwood last time, he can go well from a handy draw on his first run since being gelded. Scottish Reel is also considered, as he is entitled to be wiser after his introduction at Thirsk 25 days ago. Nevertheless, ARCTIC SUNRISE, a 200,000gns purchase, holds a more appealing pedigree given that her dam is a half-sister to Alexander Goldrun, and she won't need to be out of the ordinary to win this on her racecourse bow.

- Autumn Festival took this race last season for David O'Meara and races off 1lb lower in the handicap now. He hasn't been at his best recently but if first-time cheekpieces help, he may go close. UGO GREGORY likes it here with four wins over C&D, one off this mark and one off 2lb higher, and he may make it five after a solid second at Chester last time out. Zozimus arrives in good form and is another to consider.

- Hostelry has every chance of landing her hat-trick here despite being put up 4lb for her recent Carlisle success, with Christian Howarth claiming 5lb in the saddle. She can go close with a clear run, but a chance is taken on the younger PREMIERSHIP. He kept on well to win at Yarmouth before failing to see out 1m2f when third at Ripon, but may get back to winning ways over this trip. She's Got Bottle and Poet's Dawn both like it here and are others to note.

- Swiss Pride likes it here with seven of his nine career wins coming over C&D, and he cannot be ignored on his return to a synthetic surface despite a poor ninth at Bath on turf last month. Laoisman got off the mark at Chepstow comfortably enough and may have more to offer after just the seven starts, but TYGER BAY is narrowly preferred. Dropped in class after a solid sixth at Southwell, he has won three times here and the booking of Neil Callan catches the eye.

- With plenty of winning form to work with, big runs look on the cards from the hat-trick seeking Hint Of The Jungle, who battled back to win by a neck on his all-weather debut at Wolverhampton, and perhaps comfortable Southwell novice winner Boann, but preference is still for TOWNSEND MANOR. The son of Advertise put in a much improved effort to make the running and come home over three lengths clear of the field at Redcar last week, and a 6lb penalty may not stop him doubling up.

- With a distinct lack of recent winning form it may pay to side with NORDIC GLORY, who has won three times, all of them here and two of them over this trip. The gelding has been tumbling down the handicap after some below-par efforts but he tries cheekpieces now which may help him focus. Zing Up arrives in good form after a second and a third on her last two starts, while Arzaak is another to consider.

- Supaspecialawesome has finished a close second on his last two starts and should have his say, but he may have to play second fiddle again, this time to BELO HORIZONTE. Richard Spencer's gelding has won all four starts since switching to handicaps, including over this C&D the last twice, and the ease with which he scored on his latest outing suggests a 7lb rise for that victory may not be enough to prevent him going in again. Renesmee arrives on the back of a 1m success at York off a 4lb lower mark and is another to consider, along with consistent C&D winner Lordsbridge Girl.

- Red Hat Eagle and Doras Tamar have shown glimpses of ability and will be looking to put their experience to good use, but they don't set the bar very high and this could be a good opportunity for MONKMOOR PIP to make a winning debut. Representing a trainer who has been firing in the winners of late, Hugo Palmer's charge is a half-sister to an all-weather winner and he is narrowly preferred to fellow newcomer Flickering Flame, whose stable is also in good form.

- LORD MELBOURNE was hampered at the start and looked very green on his debut over 1m2f at Southwell, so the fact he kept on to be beaten just over two lengths in third was very encouraging and the 270,000-euro purchase will have learnt plenty from that introduction. With improvement expected, he makes more appeal than the other two runners with experience, Eastern Empress and It's Marvellous, although newcomers Enrico Caruso (half-brother to five winners) and Indemnity (cost 200,000gns) must be taken very seriously for powerful Newmarket yards.

- Tessy Lad (second) and KODIMAN (third) are closely matched based on their encounter at Chelmsford 15 days ago, when the latter was possibly a bit too keen in the early stages before being denied a clear run a furlong out. On 2lb better terms, the latter has a lot going for him in his bid to reverse the form with Jack Mitchell back in the saddle. Ithaca's Arrow and Cancan In The Rain are also considered.

- This is arguably the easiest assignment GOD OF FIRE has faced in handicaps so far and, having shown improvement with a tongue-tie applied when he finished a close third at Kempton last time, he could be hard to beat back over this slightly shorter trip. Intergalacticat is feared most with Oisin Murphy back in the saddle, while Udaberri and Savrola are a couple of others to note.

- Surging Tide should go well on her nursery debut and she may get an easy time of things on the front end if Oliver Stammers allows her kick on from the start. That may well set things up perfectly for DUE CONSIDERATION, a winer over a mile at Musselburgh last time out. Ridden to hit the front late on by Connor Murtagh that day, the same tactics could see him double up off just 4lb higher. Bellestarr may prove best of the remainder.

- Silver Atom pulled off a 50/1 shock when winning last time out at Bath and the one-time hurdler could have some say in the final result if he can repeat that level on the all-weather. Visitant is the only C&D winner in this field but was a distant second at Thirsk latest and needs to do more, leaving GEELONG as the likelier winner. He strolled home last week by over six lengths at Kempton, and a 5lb penalty seems unlikely to stop him.

- Spirit Of Ash needs a career best off this rating but her only two wins were over this C&D, and she is yet to taste defeat at the track. She can go well again after winning narrowly earlier in the month, but GOBLET OF FIRE may have her measure. Nigel Tinkler's gelding has won three of his last four starts on grass with two over this trip and, if he can repeat that on this surface, he could prove hard to beat. We Still Believe and International Law are others to note.

- GIUDECCA has twice shown shown ability and this half-sister to Integral, a Group 1 winner for this yard, is presented with a good opportunity to make it third-time lucky as she gains more experience. Also related to a winner on synthetics, switching to this surface isn't expected to pose any issues for Sir Michael Stoute's filly and, with Saffie Osborne booked, everything is in place for a big run. Irish raider Miss Black Jack is feared most, with well-bred newcomer Cocktail Dress also considered.

- BLENHEIM STAR showed up well on her debut at Lingfield 27 days ago and, having overcome a slow start to finish with a rattle to get up for a very close fourth, she is an appealing option with that experience to draw upon. Arantes Nascimento took a step forward from his debut with an improved effort at Musselburgh and enters calculations as another potential improver, while Ribble River is introduced at a realistic level.

- Those with previous experience don't set the bar very high, so it may be more rewarding to focus on the five newcomers, with YOKOHAMA suggested as the first one to note. A half-brother to five winners, including Questioning, who won the Group 3 Earl Of Sefton, this trip is a good starting point. Sweet Talkin Sue is next on the shortlist, followed by Mickley and Bellasio.

- Revolucion caught the eye staying on for third in a similar event a Lingfield last month and further 1lb drop in the ratings puts him very much in contention, but he remains a maiden after 12 starts and preference is for RHYTHM. A dual C&D winner, he has slipped to a 3lb lower mark than the latest of those victories in April and gets a welcome drop in class after a respectable effort at Pontefract last week. Dream Together has also dropped to a workable rating and he's another worthy of consideration.

- Whatwouldyouknow's last two victories came over this C&D and he only found one too good off a 1lb lower mark here last time out, but that was in January and the match-fit URBAN ROAD could prove too strong here. Alan Brown's four-year-old ran out an easy winner over this track and trip in July and a repeat of that performance can see him defy a 6lb higher mark now back on Tapeta. Bold Territories has come back down to a fair mark and the booking of the in-form Hollie Doyle catches the eye.

- Mashadi sets the form standard, especially with his neck second at Bath in May, but he has found one too good on all four starts now and was turned over at odds of 2/9 when last seen in June. He may have to play second fiddle again, this time to JUNGLE JIM, who stepped up on his Chester debut when a promising second (Irish Nectar fourth) at Thirsk last month and the booking of William Buick suggests there could be more to come from the David Evans-trained gelding. Sea Of Angels showed signs of ability first time out at Lingfield and should have more to offer now.

- The form of TIMES EDITION's debut third over 7f at Salisbury has been boosted by second subsequently landing a conditions race and the manner in which Roger Varian's charge stayed on that day suggests she will relish this extra furlong. Where I Wanna Be was no match for a potentially useful stablemate when fourth over 1m at Kempton recently, but caught the eye doing good work late on once the penny dropped and Ralph Beckket's inmate must be feared on her turf bow. Zainabb wasn't beaten far at Beverley earlier this month and completes the shortlist.

- KNICKS confirmed the promise of his Ayr second in July when an unlucky loser over this trip at Carlisle last time, as he flashed home after traffic problems to be beaten just half a length at the line, and Karl Burke's colt is taken reserve the form with reopposing stablemate Biloxi Boy. The latter was just ahead in second that day but had the run of the race out in front and is 1lb worse off with the selection this time. Tierney has remained in good heart since his Haydock success off 7lb lower in July and warrants respect, along with Eminny.

- PINAFORE is still of low mileage and may be up to defying the 3lb rise in the handicap incurred after finishing a respectable sixth in a heritage handicap at York last month. That piece of form has a solid feel and, with the return to six furlongs an added bonus, a repeat of last month's C&D success under Tom Marquand is a distinct possibility. Runner-up in that race, Northern Spirit is noted with an 8lb pull this time, while Fantasy Master and Spirit Of Applause complete the shortlist.

- A gutsy winner at Newmarket last month, Olympicus has scope to improve over this trip and his willing attitude is an asset as he bids to defy a 3lb higher mark. However, previous C&D winner WARREN HILL can put her course knowledge to good use and appeals more on the forecast going. Cut in the ground should suit this daughter of No Nay Never and she can flourish back over this distance after her stamina hit the buffers over an extended 1m3f last time. Hakuna Babe and Gordon Grey are others to note.

- Hellenista has finished in the first four home on her last six starts, but her best form is on a faster surface. Double Oban was beaten less than two lengths at Haydock off this mark and can go well with his stable in good form, but ALHAMBRA PALACE is preferred. He failed to handle the track or the faster going at York but is back on a more suitable surface here having won at Ascot and Sandown on going with cut in it, and that may see him back to winning ways.

- Young Fire might get his ground which could see him get involved where it matters most after finishing fifth at Wolverhampton, and he could surprise a few under David Nolan. Cariad is another who could go well off bottom weight and will also appreciate any cut in the ground, but a chance is taken on C&D winner EQUION. He was value for more than the official neck last time out here on heavy ground after possibly idling in front.

- GEARED UP was only beaten by just over a length in second last time and she looks well placed to go one better. Freydis and Hope She Comes are others to consider.

- ROUND OF APPLAUSE bolted up by just over five lengths in a tougher contest than this on his latest outing and he looks difficult to oppose. Conrado and Bad Little Beast can give him the most to think about.

- VACCINA was a five-length victor over C&D in a warmer contest than this last time and that puts her well ahead of these. Sign And Seal and Izzy's Monster can fight it out for the minor honours.

- It's hard to rule many of these out and it may be worth taking a punt on JARETH improving for a change of scenery. Big Chicken Man and South Sea top the list of threats.

- ANIPPE has already enjoyed a fruitful campaign with three victories in the bank and a four-timer looks likely in her current mood. Sally's Mustang may have more to come over this trip and is feared most, ahead of Protectthewitness.

- PEMAQUID PETE has looked as good as ever of late and the John Fennessy-trained inmate can land a fourth consecutive success. Mason Mania and Barnegat Light may be able to give the selection most to think about.

- CATIRE VIZCAYA showed enough over further at Saratoga last time out to suggest that he can handle the drop in trip on this occasion. Banneker and Gotts Got It look to be his main dangers.

- The unexposed SOUL OF THE BEAST must hold every chance if building upon a strong victory over shorter here last time out. Abundant Story and Organza can give her the most to think about.

- APPEALING SENORITA must hold every chance if bouncing back to the form that saw her win here on her penultimate outing. She can get the better of Rollin All The Way and Star Mabee.

- ITASCA has been in excellent form of late and a third win in five starts could be in the offing for the six-year-old. Candy Crushem and Lazarus Project look to be his main dangers.

- A winner in stakes company here last time out, I WANNA WIN is taken to follow up on the drop in grade. Buck Moon and Comply are high on the shortlist as well.

- IRONCLAD ALIBI sets a fair standard on his runner-up effort over C&D earlier this month and should take all the beating. Romanian Prince and Rambler can battle it out for the minor honours.

- R THREE ANGELS rarely runs a bad race at this course, with five of her eight career victories coming here. The daughter of Kiss The Ghost is fancied to add to that tally at the expense of in-form rivals Sonnet and I Recall.

- ROYAL DRAGOON (second) was only a nose behind Toe Tappin Luke over C&D last time out and he is fancied to gain his revenge on 6lb better terms. Zero Gravity also has the form to go close.

- Runner-up on her last two starts here, HITCH CITY deserves a change in luck and she can get back to winning ways. Old rival Hosanna and Arties Cryptonite can give her the most to think about.

- CITY OF CLOUDS did it well here last time out and he is open to further improvement on his eighth career start, with Buckeye Sky and R Cardinal Prince looking best placed to chase him home.
