By Tom Weekes - In a race with little form, CANTO DELLA TERRA is the obvious starting point and will take beating, having run a smart race on debut last month. By leading sire Kodiac, the form of her Fairyhouse race has yet to be properly proven but the horses at the business end all competed at either Group or Royal Ascot-level subsequently. She has since joined new connections, looks smart and is well drawn in 4. Dazzling Angel was a 50,000 pounds April breeze-up purchase and debuts for a trainer whose strike-rate is high, with stable jockey Bill Lee being unable to ride at her weight. Top weight Cercene cost E50,000 as a yearling and is a half-sister to Brittania Stakes winner Perotto.
By Tom Weekes - BLUE WOOD is effectively 10lb higher than when winning last month but might defy that hike. Both career wins have come over today's distance, he met trouble in-running at Dundalk in March, won easily at Down Royal recently and should compete from his revised 57 rating racing from a favourable draw in 8. All three of Golden Days' wins have been at this distance and, notably, won the second division of this race on easy ground last year. She should compete from 6lb higher today. Eriskay's rating has slid from 80 in 2022 to the basement rating now and while her best form is over shorter distances, ran well at Naas recently and has been placed at this distance in the past.
By John O'Riordan - Recent Killarney runner-up ON OUR RADAR may be able to go a place better despite his wide draw. The Andrew Slattery-trained four-year-old was just run out of it late on over the extended mile, so dropping back a furlong here will be very much in his favour. As a prominent racer, the gelding may be able to get across from stall 14 and track the pace early on. Baalbec Beauty was slowly away before staying on well inside the final furlong to force a dead heat for fourth here last time. Granted a better start this time, the mare has to hold leading claims, with the longer trip a definite plus. Scarlet Dancer, who finished a couple of places in front of the latter last time, again holds every chance for trainer John McConnell.
By John O'Riordan - The Aidan O'Brien-trained THE EUPHRATES can record a first success since winning his maiden at this track on his second start last October. Highly tried in the interim, the son of Frankel will appreciate this easier task having run in the Irish Derby last time. Runner-up in Listed races on her latest two starts, Bellezza has every chance of going one better. Ger Lyon's filly has strong form against some of the best of her sex, so could prove a real threat here. Duraji may lack the experience of the majority of these but the Dermot Weld-trained colt impressed with how he quickened to land his maiden at Leopardstown recently. With only two races in his career to date, the son of Dubawi has plenty scope for improvement.
By John O'Riordan - With the form of her maiden run at this track in May working out exceptionally well, ISEULT OF IRELAND should be hard to beat. Runner-up in that aforementioned contest, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly chased home a subsequent three-time winner. The fourth placed horse, who won her maiden next time, followed up in Listed company subsequently. Evening Blossom finished in front of three of these rivals when second at Naas last time. Joseph O'Brien's daughter of Australia looks to be improving with racing, so should get her turn shortly. At a slightly bigger price, My Vonnie could be one for each-way players. The Make Believe filly stayed on strongly when fourth on her racecourse debut at Down Royal, giving the impression she would improve for this trip.
By John O'Riordan - The Ger Lyons-trained VIVIENDA has every chance of following up her recent Fairyhouse win. Making her handicap debut on that occasion, the Showcasing filly stayed on strongly over 7f. Stepping up to a mile should prove no obstacle here, while the form was boosted when the runner-up won at Down Royal earlier this month. Course and distance winner Pink Socks was repeatedly stopped in her run when fifth at Killarney last time. Tim Doyle's mare had finished a close second behind a subsequent winner on her previous start, also at this track. Dual all-weather winner Raknah has yet to get her head in front on turf but ran a huge race when seventh of 30 at Royal Ascot last month. The Blue Point filly looks as though she could prove equally effective on this surface.
By Mark Nunan - PEGULA was down the field on her handicap debut at this track in the autumn but produced a much brighter display on seasonal debut when second in a 21-runner contest at Leopardstown. Wayne Hassett got to know the daughter of Cotai Glory on that occasion and she's clearly on a competitive mark with improvement likely. Robin Donaghue-Leahy has been having a good time of things and finished third on Just Another Eagle here last month. The five-year-old has continued to run well since including when worn down late over a longer trip at Killarney. Barretstown was successful at Cork when last seen in May and has placed form here while recent hurdles winner Jeaniemacaroney has to enter calculations too. %0A%0A%0A
By Mark Nunan - Last year's Chesham Stakes winner SNELLEN has come back to form recently and followed up her win at Limerick with a fine second in a premier handicap at Leopardstown. Gavin Cromwell's filly finished in front of Shayzann on that occasion and is 5lb better off with that rival which gives her a good chance of confirming the form. A premier handicap winner over 1m4f, Star Kissed twice ran well in course and distance contests last month before bumping into an improver at Killarney. If first-time blinkers have the desired effect, she can go close. Course winner Vestigia ran well in a useful contest at Navan last time but faces a stiff task against the selection at these weights.%0A%0A
- Back In Black lost nothing in defeat when finishing runner-up behind a potentially useful sort at Yarmouth on his debut in May and he should be thereabouts once more with the promise of more to come. That said, AL MISBAR edges preference. The Blue Point half-brother to Battaash cost 1.5m guineas as a yearling and represents the red-hot Charlie Appleby and William Buick combination. Echalar and Fire Flame are also considered first time out.
- MANDURAH impressed when scoring at Newmarket on debut, travelling well before putting the race to bed in a matter of strides, and she gets the nod to make it two wins from as many starts for her in-form stable. Simmering was beaten less than a length into second in the Albany so must enter calculations, while Betty Clover has shown enough to suggest that she can be competitive in a race of this nature and can outrun her forecast odds now tackling 6f for the first time.
- SIRONA has done little wrong since joining the David Menuisier stable, posting two admirable placed efforts over 7f before finishing a staying-on fifth in the Falmouth. In calmer waters here, this progressive four-year-old can make a bold bid to give weight and a beating to some younger rivals. Dangers are aplenty, though, and the unbeaten Listed winner Devoted Queen is feared most, while Sandringham heroine Soprano showed she is still in form when third in the Coral Distaff at Sandown.
- Hickory outran odds of 50/1 when second in this 12 months ago. Northern Express, who often goes well in this type of contest, and Fresh, who is 7lb lower than when taking this in 2022, are others to note. Aalto is 4lb well-in having recorded a comfortable success in the Bunbury Cup. Carrytheone met trouble when fourth in that race, having also struggled to gain a clear passage in the Buckingham Palace (third), a race which saw Billyjoh fill the runner-up spot. METAL MERCHANT travelled strongly into contention when seventh in the Hunt Cup before fading on soft ground at Sandown, and he could represent some value now dropped in trip.
- Auguste Rodin, a six-time winner at the highest level including in last year's Derby, will be tough to beat following his triumph in the Prince Of Wales's here, but REBEL'S ROMANCE shades preference. Charlie Appleby's globetrotter took the Sheema Classic at Meydan before going on to notch up further Group 1 success in Hong Kong. The son of Dubawi appears to have come into his own this year and it would be no surprise were he to continue his upward trajectory. Bluestocking is another who seems to have matured this season and is worth considering in receipt of 3lb from her main market rivals. Sunway was slightly unfortunate in the Prix du Jockey Club before finishing an excellent second in the Irish Derby and is also noted.
- Charlie Appleby has an excellent record in this contest and AL QUDRA can provide him with more success. Although the Coventry form, a race in which he finished fifth, hasn't worked out particularly well, the No Nay Never colt sets a lofty standard and is expected to prove even better at this longer trip. Chancellor looked potentially smart when winning at Doncaster on debut and improvement ought to be on the cards. Brian, New Century and Dividend shouldn't be underestimated.
- A taking winner on his return from a 317-day break at Newcastle, ELNAJMM remains unexposed after just five career outings and this track should suit as he looks to follow up off 10lb higher. Sterling Knight narrowly got the better of Tempus when scoring at Newmarket and can uphold that form, despite being 1lb worse off. Tolstoy arrives on a four-timer and could improve for the step up to a mile, while Great Blasket has strong claims as well.
- An unlucky loser when repeatedly short of room and eventually finishing second over C&D, ALBASHEER looks the one to beat, granted a clearer run on this occasion. The six-year-old has been winless on turf since last August, but he can put the record straight against the likes of C&D winner Woolhampton and Woodhay Wonder, who was on a five-timer when a fine fourth at the Royal meeting here. Pepsi Cat and Brave Nation can also have a say.
- Sir Michael Stoute's Wiltshire Lad was slowly away on his Doncaster debut before finishing fourth and can be expected to find some improvement for the experience, but he may have to settle for a place if SEAGOLAZO gets a clear run. The son of Havana Grey lost ground after being hampered by a loose horse at Haydock before running on into third and deserves a change of luck. The rest look evenly matched, with Matharu appearing best of the remainder.
- Lincoln Rockstar was a very easy winner at Leicester last time out when strolling home by six lengths, but the handicapper has reacted to that win with an added 8lb and he may not find life as easy off his new mark in better company. Naturalia is consistent but might have to settle for another place off her current rating, leaving GREY FABLE as the pick. A comfortable C&D winner last time out he has only been upped 4lb which could underestimate his abilities.
- EVOCATIVE SPARK has become frustrating with his five top three finishes recently, but he appears to have plenty in his favour. Two wins and three places at Chester prove he handles the track better than most, while a pair of victories over this trip ticks another box. He could prove hard to beat if running to form, and his last success was off this mark. Vince Le Prince ran well when third at Thirsk and could be his biggest rival, while Island Native is another to consider dropping back in trip.
- WARM SPELL made his handicap bow in a competitive sprint when fifth at Newmarket in May. Gelded since, Roger Varian's charge has plenty of scope for further progress. Balon D'or and Eye Of Dubai filled the places over C&D a fortnight ago, though the latter was compromised by a high draw on that occasion and may well turn the tables, while Matters Most and Action Point are both worthy of a second glance.
- ECCLESIASTICAL led for most of the way when fourth over course and distance last time. The handicapper has taken a chance dropping Tristan Davidson's sprinter 2lb and a bold bid is expected. Secret Mistral has placed in both outings since winning at Haydock in June with Habooba well beaten on that occasion, but the latter has subsequently scored on the all-weather, while Lotus Rose ran well for third at Beverley and warrants respect.
- Veteran Hyperfocus has rolled back the years with successive course wins but although he loves this track, he's never won over the minimum trip here and looks vulnerable after a 3lb rise. The Thames Boatman is a viable alternative on the back of a career-best win at Chelmsford, but a stall 2 draw provides a good opportunity for DICKIEBURD, who got no sort of run from a wider berth here last time having previously been chinned by Hyperfocus over slightly further.
- Grey Cuban produced a career-best effort to edge out previous track winner Dream Harder over C&D and may have sufficient improvement in him to confirm the form if the latter takes up this engagement after running at Yarmouth on Thursday. The potential fly in the ointment, however, is Sir Michael Stoute's well-bred handicap debutant MORE THUNDER who was a Nottingham maiden winner before taking a step forward when a close up third in a Newmarket novice event. Theoryofeverything completes the shortlist.
- SNEAKY BLINDER struck in fine fashion in this grade over 1m2f at Salisbury earlier in the month, shaping as if this step up in trip could unlock further improvement. Tom Ward's three-year-old is only 5lb higher for that victory and he could prove very hard to beat again. Red Cloud has filled the top two places on each of his last four starts and he should remain competitive back in a handicap after his second in a classified event last time, while Quickfire can pick up any pieces.
- LONGUERUE produced a much better effort to finish fourth over 1m6f at Nottingham last month and she was dropped 1lb for that effort. The daughter of Recorder sports first-time cheekpieces, which could eke out the improvement needed to get her head back in front. Queen Of Steel finished a fair fourth at Bath when she was last seen on the Flat in May and she could have a say off the same rating, while Foinix is another to note.
- Oasis Sunrise brings experience to the table and she ran too bad to be true at Deauville last time, but she is an obvious player based on her second at Chester two starts ago. However, the vote goes to EL FOX, who showed a fair amount of ability to finish fourth on her debut at Yarmouth earlier in the month and she would have learned a great deal from that experience. Scarlet Sunset completes the shortlist.
- An open contest in which the recent Lingfield all-weather scorer Big Bard and class-dropper Vinaka have to be considered. But this looks like a decent opportunity for the veteran SPANISH MANE to enhance her excellent course record. Julia Feilden's mare is rated 4lb lower than winning over C&D on unfavoured soft ground a year ago and hinted at a return to form here last month, when doing much the best of those drawn low in a similarly competitive event.
- The penny has well and truly dropped for MISS STORMY NIGHT who, after narrowly opening her account at Salisbury, followed up in taking fashion from a 5lb higher rating at Nottingham month. The handicapper has hit her hard with a further 10lb rise but she remains hard to get away from in this sort of company, although the experienced Abolish should go well again after returning to form with a win at Bath last time. Class-dropper Clipsham La Habana also warrants a second look.
- Turned out again quickly after an unlucky defeat over 5f at Haydock last week, where she was denied a clear run inside the final furlong, SMOOTH SILESIE can gain compensation on this occasion. Milliethemollie has strong claims on her penultimate effort at Brighton over further, while Marcus may be a maiden through eight starts but remains consistent at this level.
- PABLO DEL PUEBLO's keen going ways arguably cost him victory here on Wednesday, when being worn down late on over 6f. That was still a highly-encouraging effort from Simon Dow's charge though, and he may be able to regain the winning thread on the drop back in trip. Runner-up on three of his last six starts, Nordic Glory can give him the most to think about, ahead of Lewis Barnes for his in-form yard.
- In a race without a single course winner, ROGER HENRY could be the one to side with after the Galileo Gold gelding easily took a Beverley handicap off 6lb lower on his latest start. He has a win at Chelmsford to his name suggesting the surface will not be an issue and arrives at the top of his game. Busby has dropped down the handicap and has won 10 starts on the all-weather elsewhere making him worth a second look, while No Recollection may bounce back at a lower level.
- Appier wasn't beaten far at Newbury and, with two C&D wins to his name, should go well, although he needs a career best off this mark. With that in mind, TRYFAN might be sitting pretty off bottom weight, having won here in June before contesting a better race at Haydock three weeks ago. After just five starts, he is still on the upgrade and rates a key player. Baltic bears down on a five-timer but these are deeper waters and he has another 8lb hike to defy.
- Special Ghaiyyath looks an intriguing newcomer for the Charlie Johnston yard, as he is related to numerous winners on the all-weather, and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the market. BEAR KODE has the form in the book after his second at Carlisle at 28/1 and may prove hard to beat if benefiting from an extra furlong. Wolverhampton second Brindavan appeals most of the remainder.
- Bateman and Johnny Ringo are notable three-year-olds to consider as each gets an 8lb weight-for-age allowance, with the first-named especially appealing being only 1lb higher than his recent Carlisle success. However, older horses have won two of the three previous renewals of this race and, with that in mind, dual C&D winner DINGLE edges preference in the search for a bit of value. The selection seems to raise his game on the all-weather and is dangerous to underestimate back at his seemingly favourite venue.
- LITTLE TED escapes a penalty for his apprentice race success at Musselburgh on Tuesday and is a highly appealing contender running off the same mark here, especially with Alex Fielding now able to use his 7lb claim. Martin's Brig and Wheres The Crumpet are a couple of live dangers to consider, although Angel Amadea is dangerous to rule out given she has proven to be effective on Tapeta before now.
- Split Elevens followed a handicap success at Brighton with a victory in one of these events at Wolverhampton where SHAKA was beaten less than a length in second. The latter reopposes on more favourable terms with an apprentice's 7lb allowance in his favour and Ivan Furtado's charge is taken to turn the tables. John Kirkup showed signs of a resurgence when third at Hamilton, while Rockin Rosa has a shout if forgiven a below-par effort last time.
- Musical Diva finished second at Hamilton last week, though both wins to date have come on the Tapeta and she is not out of this. Stallone won here in March and has decent claims off his current mark after a good showing at Beverley, but a chance is taken on HENERY HAWK. The latter has failed to threaten on turf lately but landed a course and distance double at the start of the year and Linda Perratt's sprinter may well bounce back to form racing off a 6lb lower rating than when last successful.
- INVITED has been somewhat unfortunate to bump into a few useful types across his three career starts, but this is a good opportunity and he is taken to record a breakthrough success. Simply Blue is officially rated just 1lb below the selection but, although respected, his form doesn't appear to be quite as strong. Showcasing filly Avalon makes appeal on paper and she warrants a market check for the in-form Ed Walker team.
- Although MICK'S SPIRIT has yet to score on turf from five attempts, the six-year-old posted a creditable third in a class 4 contest over C&D last month. Dropped in class and from a 2lb lower mark, Conrad Allen's charge looks more than capable of taking home the spoils. Media Guest is only 3lb higher than when winning at Bath recently and he holds obvious claims, while The Defiant is most appealing of the remainder.
- Makes Sense kept on well for second over 7f here on his debut a fortnight ago and is of real interest. However, a drop in trip doesn't seem the most obvious route on that evidence and debutant BASIC INSTINCT is preferred. The daughter of Mehmas went for 145,000gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to several speedy types, so it would come as no surprise were she to make an immediate impact. Last Outlaw and Study Up are others to note.
- TEN CLUB was too keen for his own good when fading into fourth over 7f at Lingfield but, dropping back down to 6f and eased 2lb, a bold bid is expected. Moe's Legacy can emerge as the main danger off 1lb lower than when an admirable fourth in a slightly stronger race at Newbury. The step back up in trip should help Johnny Johnson be seen to best effect and he must be of interest too.
- WE'RENOTREALLYHERE was denied in the shadows of the post over 7f at Wolverhampton, before holding his form when fourth over a mile at Lingfield on Tuesday, despite racing wide throughout. Off an unchanged mark and with cheekpieces reapplied, he appeals most. Cassias Comet hasn't cut much ice in her three qualifying runs, but she catches the eye on her handicap debut. Chourmo completes the shortlist, for all that the step back in trip asks a question.
- DANCINGWITHMYSELF appeared to relish the step up to 1m2f when running out a ready winner at Ripon and, upped 4lb with her stamina drawn out further here, she should be tough to stop. Connections of the well-bred Hutchence will be disappointed if he isn't able to score in a race of this nature at some point and, sporting blinkers for the first time, he is feared most. Selectivity completes the shortlist now pitched into handicap company for the first time.
- WOOBAY deservedly regain the winning thread at Ripon earlier in the month and a 2lb rise could prove to be lenient as she looks to follow up at a track that should suit her early speed. Zarzyni is also a key player, having hinted at a return to the winner's enclosure on a couple of occasions this season, while Night On Earth is another capable sort on his day. Course-regular Ghathanfar is also noted, along with the unexposed Whisky McGonagall and Princess Karine.
- A determined winner over course and distance last season, RADIO GOO GOO may not get too much competition for the lead from a low draw and has been in particularly good form of late. Ground conditions look ideal as well and she is narrowly preferred to the progressive Trefor, who was impressive when scoring at Newmarket. Silky Wilkie has become well handicapped, while Ferrous and Manila Scouse cannot be ruled out either.
- The unexposed PASSENGER may have a 3lb penalty to overcome for an impressive success in the Huxley at Chester, but he looked potentially top-class on that occasion and the second has since franked the form at Royal Ascot. A comfortable winner of this contest last year, and a slightly unlucky fourth when short of room at the start of the Prince Of Wales's Stakes, Alflaila looks to be the main danger. King's Gambit is another to note on the rise in grade, having stormed home from off the pace to finish second in the Hampton Court.
- The four fillies with Lowther entries catch the eye, with the impressive Beverley winner BEAUTY QUEEN preferred. The daughter of Soldier's Call got better the further she went on that day, creating the impression this additional furlong should be ideal. Spherical got no sort of run in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot but is not ruled out with her sights lowered. Marygate fourth Glorious Kitty missed that Royal engagement due to unsuitable ground and is also a key player here. Loopey appeals on pedigree and must be taken seriously too.
- This is a fiendishly tough handicap where the likes of the hat-trick-seeking Eagle Day as well as other in-form contenders such as Barley, My Harrison George and Master Of Combat all hold solid credentials. Nevertheless, BOY DOUGLAS, who was narrowly denied over 1m1f here last month, could trump them all with a furlong less to deal with this time around. The selection just ran out of steam near the finish that day and, off just 1lb higher, the unexposed gelding looks worth another chance.
- Theory Of Tides lost his unbeaten record in the King Edward VII at Royal Ascot last month, but he doesn't face anything like that opposition here and it will be interesting to see how he fares off an opening mark of 95. However, ZIGGY has hit the frame in hot handicaps on each of his four starts this year and he looks well placed to gain compensation off a 2lb higher mark than his second at Ascot last time. Ron O is in good form and is another to consider.
- BILL'S BAAR returned from a 90-day break to produce a highly-encouraging effort when hitting the frame in this grade over an extended mile at Nottingham last month. He represents a yard in fine form at present and the son of Elzaam looks to have lots in his favour. Crimson Spirit could only manage seventh at this level at Ascot after being gelded, but he could take a step forward off a 2lb lower mark with Richard Kingscote booked. Zipster is another to note.
- VERTICAL BLUE (5) has done very little wrong to date and looks ready to go one better. She will appreciate the extra yardage and rates the one to beat. REALITY CEN (8) ticks a lot of boxes and is likely to be ready to rock and roll on debut so any market support would be significant. OLYA (4) would have tightened up with that debut effort and could be prominent for the placings. CERVINIA (6) should find herself challenging for the back end of places.
- PROSECUTOR (8) debuts for a powerful combination and should know his job on debut. He is the type that should be forward and this seems like a suitable starting point. PONDERADO (5) produced a solid effort on debut and gets weight off the back which makes a significant difference for a young horse. I GOT RHYTHM (7) makes his debut here and could be of interest should there be confidence behind him in the market. BELLAGIO (6) should have more to offer after his debut run.
- In a very competitive looking field, PANJAMAN (4) could represent some value despite not being in the greatest form at presence, he has taken on tougher in the past and looks well placed off his current rating so could be a factor if things go his way in running. BARC (1) is seldom far off them and put up a pleasing run last time out so should go well on the basis off that effort. ROMANELLO (5) is a consistent performer who gets weight off the back and should be involved at the finish. COGNAC (11) ran an improved race at his latest outing and with a repeat performance, he could be in the shake up.
- DILAWAR (5) has been so consistent without winning at this level and would be deserving off another victory. He has done well with six wins and with a bit of luck, he can make it seven. DAR TOUNGI (2) brings recent winner form to the table and will be a lively player for top honors. LEFT SEA (8) has been running in some challenging races and could find this event to her liking which could see this filly return to form. BEVAN (4) is looking to reel off a hat-trick and needs to be respected.
- Making the long trip from Ireland could pay for SCARLETT O'HARA (8) who has some solid form in mainly Group races of late. She was third two runs ago at Cork in a Group 3 race and gets the vote ahead of NORTH RELIANCE (1) who travels from Germany. She was second in a Listed race two starts ago in Germany and can have a say in proceedings. SHAKTI (5) is the each-way must. AMNERIS (7) looks best of the remainder.
- PAY TO LEARN (2) looks to be improving and won nicely in a Class 2 race at the end of June at Saint-Cloud. He is given a marginal vote ahead of HAMAVI (1) who ran a good race when fourth in a Group 2 race at Saint-Cloud in June. He will make his rivals work hard. DARING PRINCE (3) is one to pay attention to as he has won three of his six outings so far. DONE DEAL (6) is also a promising colt who can not be overlooked.
- GO WITH THE ROSES (6) has been performing well without a win. She ran well at this track in late June when she was third and deserves to get her head in front this time. SEMPER FI (7) was one place ahead of the selection when they met at this track in June and he has been consistent. He can once again have a say in proceedings. COMMEAUX (4) is probably the one to go with each way. INTUITION (1) can make the frame despite carrying top weight.
- GERBERA (3) ran a good race when second in a handicap at Le Lion D'Angers earlier this month and is the selection ahead of GOLDFIELD (1) who has run well on three of his four runs this year. He was a pleasing second at this track earlier this month and can once again be involved. GRAND ANGEL (8) looks honest and will be full of confidence after a win in early June. FINIMONDO (10) can make the frame.
- Runner-up to In Love du Choquel when shod here in March, HALFA (13) has had a much-needed freshener and has a realistic chance of winning this. She will however still encounter resistance from the unshod-behind HAVE SEVEN (11) who returns to the code after imposing well under harness recently, and a barefoot EXTREME DESBOIS (12) who has nothing to prove under these conditions. FLUO MESLOIS (8) finished 3rd to him here last month and is not going to be far off the mark.
- KA FACTOR (14) finds a weak race and gets the vote to score. He has been holding his form well and could have that consistency rewarded with a win. KEEPER PERRINE (4) has done well under the saddle and can bounce back from faulting last time out to be a threat. KANAYOK DE LARA (11) has been winning harness races and deserves respect trying a Mounted race. KING DE JADE (6) won twice last year so could also make the frame.
- CALL'EM ALL is expected to take advantage of an ease in grade having been no match for an easy winner last time. Summer Russ and Master Jane are feared most.
- GO LEE ANN GO boasts the strongest form in the contest and the filly gets the vote at the expense of Withherbootson and Factor That.
- MASAI MAN found only one rival too good over C&D most recently and he gets the vote to atone for that near-miss here. Alpha Chi Rho and Krug are respected most out of the remainder.
- FLORIDIFIED (second) got the better of Palacio (third) when the pair met over an extended 6f here last month and she can confirm her superiority over that rival en route to victory this time around. Swipe That Candy is also of interest.
- CALLISTO'S BRIGADE was outpointed in the closing stages when finishing second over 7f here earlier this month but, stepping back in trip, he gets the vote to go one place better. Strive For Stride and Colonial Road can also go well.
- MR. BUSTA was in rampant mood with a near seven-length success and is hard to oppose on the back of that convincing effort. Fellow last-time-out winner Stellars In Charge can give the selection most to think about, while Free Drop Bach is another to consider.
- AUBURN MILL has been in terrific form of late and a fourth win in five starts could be in the offing for the seven-year-old. Run To Daylight and old rival Thewitchisgone can follow him home.
- NO DENYING DENIS has filled the runner-up spot in this grade on each of her last two starts and she can go one better on this occasion. Foxy Sista and Juba Baby are also worthy of consideration.
- This represents a fair drop in grade for AL LOVES JOSIE, which can help him regain the winning thread. Motivating and Fancy Concho also merit consideration.
- VIESTE had a few of these behind her when producing a much better effort to hit the crossbar over track and trip and she looks well placed to go one better. The reopposing Carmelized (third) and newcomer Oro Oscuro can give her most work to do.
- This represents a significant ease in grade for MASSIF and Brittany Russell's consistent sort can continue the yard's good form here. Z Dancer and Covert Kat are also key players.
- DAISY MY NAME was denied by a length into second over 6f on her debut in May last year and, provided she is ready to go on her return, she could prove very hard to beat. Splash Of Jack and First To Arrive could also have a say.
- WHO KNOWS was only beaten a head into second in a similar contest to this on his latest outing and that level of form could be good enough. Duckpins and Incinerator are feared most.
- TRES FRANCAIS struck by over three lengths in a warmer contest than this at Delaware Park last month and she can go in again. La Tache and Award Tour are feared most.
- SKIPPERINI has been in excellent form of late and a third win in four starts looks like a distinct possibility for the son of Black Stash. Runaway Harry and Wicked Finn are capable of being in the shake-up too.
- This can go the way of SANDPIPER MEMORIES, who has been knocking on the door of late and she may have too much for the likes of Aziza and La Panda.
- MS HAYLEY showed enough pace over further at Finger Lakes last time out to suggest that she can handle the drop in trip on this occasion. Photo Finish and Wok Don't Run are likely to be thereabouts as well.
- DELICATE has been found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark, although Say You Love Me and Cumbia should not be discounted.
- THINK BIG could be hard to stop with the benefit of his debut experience, while D'oro Unbridled and Street Earnings are also noted.
- Kara And Colleen and Runaway Diva could both go well, but preference is for EASTERN EMPRESS after she got off the mark at Monmouth last month.
- ALOGON was highly tried and well beaten in Grade 1 company at Saratoga last time, but he doesn't face anything like that opposition in this contest so he gets the vote. Masen and Ambivalent are others to note.
- BARZINI struck by two lengths in a similar contest to this at Laurel Park last month and he looks well placed to follow up. Power Attack and Bouncer aren't out of it either.
- THE PROCESS was only denied by a neck into third in a weaker contest than this last month. He looks ready for this step up and gets the vote. Typhoon Lagoon and St James The Great could also have a say.
- DYIN A THIRST went down by a nose on her latest start and she is likely to confirm the form with Promise Me Kat (third) and Swift Harmony (fourth).
- MADIHA benefited from a drop in grade to score at Santa Anita in June and the mare is likely to come out on top once again. Chasingserendipity and Tiergarten head the remainder.
- NAP clocked a strong speed figure when finishing third at Santa Anita last month a similar performance on his Del Mar debut may prove sufficient. Far Over Loaded looks next best, although market support for newcomer Shea Brennan would be interesting.
- RUNNING SPARTAN showed plenty of ability to finish a close-up third on his debut earlier in the month and, with normal progression, he could get off the mark. Osage Creek and A Day To Remember could also have a say.
- MYSTIC SPIRIT successfully recorded a double when he was victorious by a neck at Santa Anita in May and he looks well placed to complete the hat-trick. Mcgregor Lake and Speed Grazy also merit consideration.
- RIMPROTECTOR produced a fine effort to finish third at Santa Anita last month and that looks like the best form on offer in this contest. One Of These Days and City Exile head the dangers.
- GRAND SLAM SMILE is hard to oppose following her victories at Santa Anita earlier in the year. Others to note are Safa and Quantum Innergy.
- Epione and Miz Clubcali are both respected but preference is for O K ROSE after her narrow defeat at Santa Anita last time.
- Mckechnie is a daughter of Into Mischief who fits the bill and she may be the biggest rival to THOUGHT PROCESS. Although bred to be better over further, she has been catching the eye in the mornings and may make a winning debut. Usha and Proud Starlet are others to consider.
- Many of these are dropping in class looking to get back to form, with Mission Beach and Always On Cay obvious examples, but they may have to give way to the improving INSTINCT D' ORO. The winner of two of his three starts, he may well land the hat-trick if staying the distance.
- In a tricky race it may pay to side with the improving maiden winners who hopefully have more to offer. Defensor Fortis and Dance Man fit the criteria but preference is for the once-raced JOURNEY D' ORO. Well-backed and sent off odds-on in June, he strolled home by eight lengths and thoroughly deserves the step up in class.
- DANCING DANA successfully completed a double when she accounted for her nearest rival by just under two lengths at Santa Anita last time and she can go in again. Sweet Layla Rae and Keep Your Coil can follow her home.
- Abundant Life drops in grade and she must be respected, but with stamina far from assured at this trip, SECRET TEMPTATION is preferred. Ritz On Broadway completes the shortlist.
- SHERIFF JOE broke his duck in impressive fashion here last month, and any further improvement could see him repeat the dose. Sam Stormy and Grahmalamadingdong head the list of dangers.
- R AVERIE LYNN struggled on her reappearance at Laurel recently, but Michael Gorham's mare has eight wins from 12 starts around here and is taken to bounce back. Sister Supream and Pontiffany can battle it out for second.
- CAMANOE has shown up well in recent workouts and she could be primed to strike on debut for her in-form connections. Canny Land and Coach Caley are likely to be thereabouts.
- BEACHGRASS has shown enough in recent starts to suggest that she can notch up a seventh career success. The five-year-old gets the vote ahead of Catti La Belle and Magnificent Pearl.
- HENDRICKSON looks the one to beat if building upon a strong placed effort over C&D last time out. He can regain the winning thread at the main expense of Aloha Man and San Andres.
- BOSSYNESS drops in class with every chance for a trainer in red-hot form. Gun Runnin' Gal won easily on her latest start and has to come into the reckoning, while Go Margie Go makes most appeal of the remainder.
- SPENCER TIARA was beaten only a nose at Pimlico on her penultimate start and gets the vote to come out best on that form. Reppazz is going the right way, while preference is for Lady Liberty Belle of the newcomers.
- VIXEN and Kilwin are a couple of attractive propositions on paper and the former shades the vote, with the in-form Luan Machado an eyecatching jockey booking. Aurelia's Mischief appeals most of those with experience.
- Jump Into The Fire and Best Seller are a couple with solid form chances, but the consistent PENS STREET has hinted at a revival of late. She could be worth chancing switched to this venue after a near-miss at Churchill Downs last time out.
- As ever with races of this nature, the betting will be a good guide. HEAVENVILLE is suggested as the first one to consider, although good support for Rave Runner or Normandy Coast would be dangerous to ignore.
- AIR FORCE THUNDER produced the best performance of her career to only be beaten a head at Santa Anita in January and, provided she is ready to go on her return, she could be the one to beat. Champagne Surprise and Candy Lover can follow her home.
- THIS TIME produced a fine effort to fill the runner-up spot in stakes company last time and he could prove very hard to beat. Herchee and Hammerstein head the dangers.
- HEY OLIVIA took a pleasant step forward from her debut effort to hit the frame at Churchill Downs last month and, with further improvement likely, she looks the one to be on. Queen Clancy and Irina's Charm are also worthy of consideration.
- A determined winner at Churchill Downs last time out, HEART SPIN must hold every chance of following up. That may be at the main expense of Big Brass Bed and She's On The Rocks.
- Runner-up on each of her last three starts, FLASHY LASS deserves a change in luck and she can get that on this occasion. Bru Na Boinne and Dear Lady also warrant consideration.
- The step up in trip can work the oracle for MOON SPUN as she looks to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. Others to note include Cairo Street, Fantastical and Pharoah's Wine.
- Deux Meres beat Lotsa Steel to the runner-up berth over 6 1/2f here, while Sorority Party also took second last time, finding her level on her first Emerald outing. LADY CRUISER hasn't built on a close debut third, but her sights are lowered by her in-form new trainer and she can take full advantage.
- SOLDATNA was more than two lengths ahead of Pure Cane Sugar when they took minor honours over 6 1/2f here, and again hit the crossbar over C&D subsequently. He can be rewarded for those displays, although Tapit Down and Chinook Bend won't make it easy for him.
- CLASSIC LEAH showed tremendous resolution to make all and hang on over track and trip. Having been claimed afterwards, she can repeat the feat for her new barn. La Popis had Confidence Builder back in third when successful over 6 1/2f, although she was behind Red Nova before that. Big Mama Thornton is another to consider.
- Prior to struggling in a minor stake, Kaline struck over track and trip after finishing ahead of Its Five Somewhere when they took minor money, also over C&D. He might have to settle for a supporting role, though, because ALL THE KING'S MEN drops in class too and just gets the nod.
- PIRATE RED hasn't done a lot wrong in his career so far and has had Lucky Code and Pass The Crown behind him in recent starts. He can continue to progress, possibly at the chief expense of Rhodesia, who was a promising second on his reappearance. Debut winner Putdaddyinacaddy has to be considered as well.
- Runner up in a deeper race last time out, MEANT FOR ME is presented with a solid chance of going one better and edges preference over fellow in-form contenders, Moonlightnwine and Im Still Thirsty.
- DREAM TIME has dropped a couple of big enough hints to suggest he can be big player in this company and looks worth chancing here. Jacob Yen and The Golden Egg are suggested as a couple of other so also bear in mind.
- Emperorofthenorth and NYQUILER make most appeal dropping in grade, with the latter edging the vote in receipt of 2lb. Recent maiden scorer Fun City can chase them home.
- This represents an ease in grade for recent runner-up BIG JOLT and she may be able to deny fellow in-form rivals Hey Barmaid and Meteor Shower.
- Last-time-out runner-up LANI'S SWEETHEART is heading in the right direction and her race experience could prove crucial. Market support for newcomer Colonel Ludlow would be interesting, with The Lair making most appeal of the remainder.
- A case can be made for all of these, but REGULATION DAZED still boasts the most solid claims on recent form and this proven battler is a strong fancy to make a winning start for his new trainer. Beau Mischief and El Chumelito can fight it out for the minor honours.
- HOLONUI can make amends for his narrow defeat over C&D last time by beating Kinda Fonda Wanda and Sin Permiso to the victory here.
- MARGIE'S FUN SON gets the vote after his two seconds here in recent months, while Bill Of Rights and Penny Loafer are next best.
- Pietrelcina and Stow On The Wold could both go well but preference is for CAP'N DUSTY, who has finished second on two of his three previous starts.
- There was enough encouragement from ANOTHERHOPE's fifth-placed debut here earlier in the month to suggest that a race of this nature could be within her compass. Blessed Candy and Oodles And Boodles are also worth considering.
- AWESOME STRIKE arrives on the back of two close-up defeats at this venue and he could be worth persevering with. La Crema and Mike The Bomb are viable alternatives.
- CAR RIDE's stamina was stretched when only eighth on the turf track here and he rates as the one to beat in these calmer waters. Beach Cowboy and Lucky Prince are feared most.
- The progressive JUNIPER JUICE has won two of her four previous starts and doesn't have much to find to enhance her strike-rate in this company. Planet Clare and Nicolar can give her most to think about, with the former suggested as the bigger threat over this trip.
- GINGER GIRL had an excuse (stumbled at the first turn) last time out and could be hard to deal with if granted a clear run. Rowsie Express finished as runner-up in that race but is far from certain to uphold the form if the selection stays out of trouble. Mavilus rates the pick of the rest.
- A game winner over 6f last time out, ART OF COURAGE has a strong chance of following up over this slightly shorter trip. All The Way is feared most, although The Big Enchilada is certainly not without hope of returning to winning ways at this level.
- U Dirty Dog has the best form on offer but isn't bulletproof against an interesting newcomer in SHOOTERSGOTTASHOOT, who has been working well. Makeit To Cheyenne drops in class and may get the better of K Paz for the minor placing.
- Kern River could be the surprise package dropped in class and upped in trip, assuming he stays, but this could be fought out by maiden winner The Heights and IMAGINIZED. Not disgraced when third in a better race last time out, the latter could get back to winning ways.
- Paint Me Beautiful may improve for her first start of the year and would have every chance on her better 2023 form. However, if SOPHISTICATED CAT takes to blinkers, she may be the one to come home in front after her pair of second places. Maryvic and Nickys Notion are others to at least consider.
- ORDER OF MAGNITUDE was winning at Saratoga last summer and won't have to run to that level to come out best in this lesser company. Kitten's Spa also drops in class with a shout, while Canadian Pharoah is preferred of the remainder.
- NATURAL STAR has won both previous starts on turf and arrives at the top of his game. He may edge out Jetaros, who returns to action with strong claims on last year's form, while Tie Breaker makes most appeal of the rest.
- Todd Pletcher introduces the $310,000 purchase SCREEN and she may prove the one to side with. Unbounded Movement arrives on the back of a bullet workout and should be noted, along with Piggy Tales Up.
- FIRST MONEY has been in excellent form of late and a third win in four starts looks like a distinct possibility for the four-year-old. Cumberland Blues and Dudley Dickerson are likely to be thereabouts too.
- LITTLE JAMIE has been knocking on the door of late and this looks like a good opportunity to get back to winning ways. Chilled and Scalable need considering as well.
- BODACIOUS BREN lost nothing in defeat when finishing third over 5f last month and she gets the vote to go two places better in what looks a winnable affair for the grade. Candy Arcade and Awesomenewyear can also go well.
- HIGHLAND HOLIDAY (second) got the better of Flag Song Flyin (third) when the pair met here earlier this month and she can confirm her superiority over that rival en route to victory this time around. Paris Garters is respected most out of the remainder.
- WEST BEACH produced a highly encouraging debut effort when he hit the crossbar last month and, with normal improvement, he could prove hard to beat. Newcomers Atomic Age and Authentic Legend need to be monitored in the market.
- IRON MAN IRA put in an underwhelming display when fourth in a similar contest but if he can run to the level of either his second or third start, he could be the one to beat. Tinebar and newcomer Leo's Reward also merit consideration.
- AMUNDSON successfully completed the hat-trick when he struck by just under four lengths last time and, considering the manner of that victory, he can go in again. Market Alert and The Bullion Bomber can follow him home.
- A taking winner on debut over further, SPEAK EASY is entitled to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and he is preferred to Forrest City and Notah.
- HAVE YOU HEARD has been in terrific form of late and a third win in four starts looks like a distinct possibility for the son of Hard Spun. Who's The King and Yo Daddy can follow him home.
- A taking winner over further here in Grade 2 company last time out, BABY YODA can strike at the top level now for a 10th career success. Skelly and Subrogate are high on the shortlist as well.
- The experience gained by FIDDLING FELIX on debut may be enough to see him prove too strong in a contest that should be informative. Invictus and American Promise appeal most of the newcomers.
- TIPPLE is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Hootenanny and the filly makes plenty of appeal having produced some decent trackwork recently. Arrasou and Scarlet Poppy both enter calculations too.
- NAVY SEAL is expected to build on his third in the Canterbury Derby, with the son of Dubawi given Lasix for the first time to further aid his cause. Sea Singer and Main Beach complete the shortlist.
- SIERRA LEONE sets a clear standard following some top Grade 1 performances, while Seize The Grey and Fierceness are next best.
- CLEAR CONSCIENCE can make amends for his narrow defeat last time by beating Gem Mint Ten and Topic Changer to the victory here.
- Miss City Girl and North End Lady could both go well but preference is for SUMMER WHIRL, who hit the crossbar at Aqueduct last time.
