Today's Free Horse Racing Tips - Ireland & UK

- Switchel is only 3lb higher than for her recent triumph over 1m2f at Chelmsford and she must enter calculations in her current mood. However, this distance does appear on the edge of her stamina so fellow last-time-out winner ARAZZO edges the vote. The three-year-old made a successful debut for the Bernard Llewellyn stable at Wolverhampton last week and a 6lb penalty might not prevent him from following up. Pysanka finished behind the selection in fourth that day and is another to consider.

- ANGLOPHILE offered much more encouragement when coming home a close-up second over 1m1f at Redcar. The son of Too Darn Hot should have little issue with the extra furlong now reverting to the all-weather and a breakthrough victory could be in the offing. The biggest threat may emerge from Warrnambool, who caught the eye in third on debut at Kempton, although market support for Charlie Appleby's Frankel newcomer Secret Force would be interesting.

- Sonic Si has acquitted himself with credit in all four maiden/novice events to date and a gelding procedure may improve him on this move into nursery company. Even so, an opening mark of 74 does look on the stiff side and TOOLATETONEGOTIATE rates a more solid proposition. The daughter of Havana Grey arrives on the back of a solid second at Wolverhampton and that looks strong form given the third has subsequently scored. Bacor may fare best of the remainder.

- MOE'S LEGACY was pushed out to score with more in hand than the winning margin suggests at Wolverhampton and she gets the vote to make light of a 6lb penalty. Mumayaz did it well when justifying favouritism at Bath last month and must enter calculations off 4lb higher, while this step back to the minimum trip can see Harb in a better light and he completes the shortlist.

- BEST RATE offered encouragement when third over this trip at Kempton on his debut and, after then shaping with plenty of promise in fifth over a mile here, he gets the vote to land a first career success. Noble Champion was well supported when fifth at Newmarket and, with that experience under his belt, he can emerge as the main danger to the selection. Of the newcomers, Oxford Circus is respected most.

- NAMMOS (first) got the better of Miss Sunset Strip (second) by half a length when the pair met over this trip at Chelmsford last month and, with a claimer enlisted to more than offset a 4lb rise for that display, she gets the vote to confirm the form here. This step back up in trip should help the consistent Bint Havana Gold get competitive and she is respected most out of the remainder.

- Havana Sky returned to form at Southwell last week and is respected, despite being 2lb wrong under a penalty. However, POETIC JACK might be the one to side with following a string of consistent efforts, including when runner-up at Chelmsford earlier in the month. Lilkian was third here in August off an 8lb higher mark and a return to this venue might see him in a better light.

- SISTERS IN THE SKY went close at Wolverhampton on her first appearance on the all-weather since April and the five-year-old, who remains on the same mark, may have been found a decent opportunity to go one better. Time Patrol has been running consistently well of late and has to enter calculations. Others to note include Midnight Flame and Apple A Dey.

- Johnjay has been knocking on the door on his most recent starts and stepping back up to 1m2f may suit providing the four-year-old settles in the early stages. Crafter almost caused a huge surprise over C&D last week and has to be considered, especially being 2lb well-in, but the vote goes to RENESMEE. Second at Chelmsford a fortnight ago, Alice Haynes' filly might have even more to offer.

- This looks open on paper and only a tentative vote can go to RIYADH GEM. Picked up for 10,000gns as a yearling, the Oasis Dream colt fetched 150,000 euros at the Breeze-Ups earlier this year but hasn't yet been able to justify that price tag. However, a step up in trip looks certain to suit while the switch to nurseries, off an opening mark of 67, is another interesting angle. Yarmouth scorer Fernando merits respect from 4lb higher, while others to note include Anthropologist and Montbeliarde.

- ROGUE ENCORE might be one to look out for over the winter months and, following a brace of successes at Newcastle, the improving three-year-old is taken to defy a penalty and complete his hat-trick. That said, Helm Rock appeared to be an unlucky loser when second at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and he merits respect from just 1lb higher. Waiting All Night will look to lead and will be a threat to all, while Chuzzlewit should not be written off now dropped in class.

- A couple of interesting newcomers in the shape of Gamrai and Wolfpack are unleashed by their powerful yards and both warrant market checks, but experience could win the day and it is AR RAYYAN who shades preference. Sent off as second favourite and finishing fourth on debut behind a colt deemed good enough for the Futurity at Doncaster last month, Ralph Beckett's charge showed up well for a long way and is expected to step forward.

- Hailing from a family that has had plenty of success in recent years, including with first-time-out winners, WRITTEN FOR YOU could be primed to strike on debut for leading connections. The son of Lope De Vega may have too much for Pride Of Donegal, who rallied well for fourth on debut at Newcastle and is likely to improve plenty for the experience. A promising fifth over shorter here last time out, Hallelujah U should appreciate going back up in trip.

- CHAMPAGNE PRINCE maintained his unbeaten all-weather record with a comfortable success over C&D last month, and a 5lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Not in action since finishing fourth in the Gordon Richards at Sandown in April, Artistic Star has not run outside Group company since May last year and, if ready to roll, he could be thrown in off a mark of 106. Andaleep and Max Mayhem have the form to get involved too.

- Turned out again quickly after a narrow reversal over C&D on Monday, DASHING HARRY can gain compensation off the same mark on what is just his third start for new connections. Paddy's Day has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to be thereabouts again, while Strong Johnson is big player if bouncing back to the form of his success at Newcastle two starts ago.

- In an open event a chance can be taken on RAAGI, who has been off since his debut over C&D in March but Marco Botti's gelding showed plenty of promise on that occasion. Wind River could prove to be the main threat following his handicap second at Newcastle last time. Any market support for either of Khaleejy or Sapience would have to be noted.

- SIR JOSEPH SWAN bolted up over C&D last week and the six-year-old is very hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite being 6lb higher. Payment Plan beat the selection a couple of weeks ago and has to be of interest once again, while Albert Lasker edges out Uther Pendragon and Dereham to be the pick of the remainder.

- Call Time has to be noted after his success at Bath three weeks ago, but the vote goes to CALL GLORY, who bounced back to form when second over 6f at Wolverhampton on Saturday. Ian Williams' gelding has to be of interest on the back of that performance. Ormolulu made the frame over C&D earlier in the week and could go well once again.

- The Wensleydale at Wetherby was all too much for DENZIL, but he booked his ticket to that Listed affair by strolling home in an admittedly weak three-runner event on his Stratford introduction and he can get another win on the board before possibly having his sights raised again. Tashan was more than four lengths ahead of the third Lenjoleur De Palma when touched off at Hereford and is an obvious danger. Romancier could bounce back from an unfortunate debut experience, and newcomer Livingit Du Large is worth a second look.

- Castle Ivers paid his way in bumpers, with a fine Lingfield third behind a couple of promising types sandwiched by wins at Southwell and Wetherby. He then came up short in the Grade 2 at the Grand National meeting but remains a bright prospect, although so is DON'T MIND IF I DO. Alan King's four-year-old chased home the exciting Regent's Stroll in a Newbury race that usually works out well and is expected to come into his own now tackling obstacles. Jafimgoso and Out Out have races in them, so it is perhaps surprising that Harry Skelton partners their stablemate Jumbo Mills.

- HONKY TONK HIGHWAY was very disappointing in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree, but she beat the winner of that race in a point-to-point before making a successful beginning to her career under Rules in a Sandown Listed event, so it may have been just a blip. She can get back on track now faced with hurdles, although That's Nice has to be feared having joined Nicky Henderson since a debut success between the flags. Briery Bee and Hit For Sixty are the pick of the rest.

- Little Miss Dante is entitled to improve for her third-placed reappearance over an extended 2m3f at Bangor last month, with this afternoon's 2m5f distance likely to help her cause. Olly Murphy's mare isn't taken lightly, but MASKED DANCE shades the verdict. The six-year-old was last seen in winning action at Aintree in May and a 7lb higher mark may not be enough to stop her on this return from a break. The hat-trick seeking The Lord Maid is also noted on her handicap bow.

- ELDORADO ALLEN faced some tall assignments at the end of last season when pulling up in the Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival and then weakening late on in the Grand National, having given a bold sight for a long way. Joe Tizzard's charge should prove far more competitive now pitched into veteran company and an overdue victory could be on the horizon. Bennys King arrives on the back of a fine second in the Foxhunters' at the Merseyside track and is feared most, ahead of Torn And Frayed.

- Narrowly denied at the finish over shorter at Huntingdon last time out, LADY JAGO looks just the type that could excel over fences as a former point-to-point winner. Harry Skelton getting back on board is another plus, and she is narrowly preferred to the more experienced So Said I, who was a winner at Lingfield in February over fences. Regal Renaissance should appreciate dropping back in trip and she has the ability to go close after a highly consistent last campaign.

- Fresh off a successful weekend at Cheltenham, the Nicky Henderson team could have a talented newcomer on their hands in DIAMONDS GALORE. A half-sister to Willmount, she can get off the mark at the main expense of Flamingo Grove, a well-bred debutant from the stable that landed this contest last year. A 7lb penalty will make life tougher for Charisma Cat after scoring first time out at Southwell, while Twistthenightaway and Beauty In The Park are other newcomers to monitor for market support.

- CATBOY may have been inconvenienced by a quick turnaround at Fakenham after filling the runner-up spot at Exeter just eight days prior and the four-year-old is expected to bounce back on this occasion. Imperial Jade benefited from a wind operation when third at Chepstow on her return to action and is respected along with Prairie Diamond, who reached the frame at Fontwell in August.

- I SHUT THAT D'OR got off the mark over fences at Plumpton earlier in the month and a 3lb rise might not be enough to stop Joe Tizzard's charge from taking another step forward. The booking of Harry Cobden for chasing debutant Cave Article shouldn't be ignored and it would be no surprise if he left behind the level of form he achieved over hurdles. Celtic Ned appeared to need his return at Fontwell and is expected to be a lot sharper.

- AMBION VIEW's victory at Exeter was boosted by the runner-up winning at Cheltenham on Sunday and the manner of that performance suggested a step up in trip would see him in an even better light. A Perfect Day was second on his only start between the flags in Ireland and has to be of interest on his Rules debut, while Dino Magic and Remember Moi are the pick of the remainder.

- SUNSET MARQUESA achieved a high level of form in bumpers last season before finishing a well-held second on her hurdling bow earlier this month. She did have a tendency to jump left at Uttoxeter but, with improvement likely in that department, Joe Tizzard's mare looks to have been found a fine opportunity. Loud And Proud brings plenty of pointing experience to the table and is sure to have a future in this discipline. Hello Cello can also progress now sent hurdling.

- Pyffo had excuses at Market Rasen in July and he'd been progressive prior to that so is worth a second look now in the care of Harry Derham. However, it looks best to side with IRISH HILL, who recorded a determined victory at Plumpton recently and a 3lb rise ought to be no barrier to further success. War Lord has been running with credit since returning in September and it would come as no surprise were he to be in the shake-up too.

- FIRST ANGEL enjoyed a productive campaign after joining this yard in the spring of last year, culminating in an impressive all-the-way victory over 2m1f at Stratford. Nudged up 2lb on his return from the sidelines, he gets the vote to land the spoils. Torneo should strip fitter for his chasing debut third at Uttoxeter and he must be of interest off 2lb lower, while last-time-out Hereford winner Famoso completes the shortlist.

- Joe Tizzard has his string in fine form at present and his AMERICAN LAND gets the vote to bring up a double. The six-year-old gets in unpenalised for last week's Taunton success and he should prove tough to stop with a repeat of that effort. Highly tried last season, this represents an ease in grade for Dirty Den and he looks the main danger to the selection on his handicap debut. Demilion is respected most out of the remainder.

- ROCK HUNTER was a close fourth in a similar event over 6f at Chelmsford earlier in the month and a repeat of that form may well be good enough to take this contest. That said, Elouise's Prince is an obvious threat having got off the mark over C&D a month ago but he carries a 7lb penalty as a result. Others to note are One For Harvey and Solvency.

- Ghaiyya boasts an attractive profile and has to be noted, while the well-bred Empire Power could get competitive on her racecourse bow. Cape Flora and Falakeyah are other noteworthy newcomers, but the verdict is for HONOUR WHIM. She must be pleasing connections at home to be pitched in at Newbury on debut and it was a decent effort in third. The winner looked really useful and this filly might be worth another chance on her all-weather bow.

- Wild Angel is more than capable of making the frame in a race of this nature but could be vulnerable once again. With that in mind, the vote goes to PATAGONIA GIRL following her encouraging second at Kempton a few weeks ago and she may have more improvement left to come. Kate O'Riley and Rock Diva are others with valid form claims, while Orionis and Safe Idea are newcomers to consider.

- A return to 7f worked just the treat for AMAYSMONT when regaining the winning thread at Chelmsford a fortnight ago. A 3lb rise in the ratings looks more than fair for Kevin Frost's inmate and a third win from his last four outings looks a distinct possibility. The biggest threat may be posed by dual C&D winner Global Warning, who arrives on the back of a close-up third over track and trip. Harbour Vision is another to note.

- Having hit the frame on both subsequent outings since her wins here in October, PORT NOIR looks ready to collect again. Robert Stephens' mare scored on her last appearance over C&D and she edges the vote over fellow in-form rival Ravenglass. The five-year-old is only 1lb higher than his latest second at Southwell and another bold showing looks assured. Angel Of Antrim may fare best of the remainder.

- The hat-trick seeking KITTY FURNIVAL supplemented her breakthrough success at Kempton when landing the spoils on her handicap bow over C&D earlier this month. A 3lb higher mark is unlikely the ceiling of the three-year-old's ability and she rates as the one to beat. Recent 1m3f Southwell runner-up Haku should appreciate a return to this 1m4f trip. Mark Loughnane's gelding looks the biggest danger, ahead of Way Of Life.

- A tad unlucky when suffering interference inside the final furlong over C&D last time out, that was BASHOLO's first start since May and she is entitled to come on plenty for it. The five-year-old has already scored three times over C&D this year and she is preferred to another course winner Street Life, who has strong claims on his penultimate second at Chelmsford. So Grateful and Under Curfew are likely to be thereabouts as well.

- BOYD CROWDER may not have shown much in three career starts so far, but he is bred to improve for going up in trip and remains unexposed. A mark of 55 on handicap debut could prove lenient and he gets the vote ahead of Zousca, who performed creditably when third over 1m at Southwell last time out. A winner here last November, Boujee Gold has yet to rediscover that form but must be of interest.

- ALEX THE GREAT showed major improvement when scoring comfortably at Southwell last week and a 3lb rise for that success may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. The Resdev Way arrives with similar claims after a taking success over C&D earlier in the month, while Virtual Hug (fourth), who has just under two lengths to make up with him, is noted too.

- SPINELLO (1) will appreciate this extended distance and, from stall No 1 with Alexis Puchin aboard, he should set the record straight. Last-start winner FREEZE (2) remains competitive under a penalty and ought to continue his momentum by challenging the selection for race honours. COSMIC FRONT (4) and DSCHINGIS GOLD (7), newcomers to the handicap category, shouldn't be underestimated.

- THE WHITE LADY (2) wasn't winning out of turn at Deauville last month and that confidence-boosting victory stands her in good stead here. She boasts a good record on this track and is taken to get the better of improving MIWA (3) who has benefitted from the addition of headgear. Last-start scorer SAFWAN (1) is worse at the weights with the selection but remains competitive for the leading positions despite carrying a penalty. FANG MICH (6) finished 2nd recently in a Class 1 so isn't without a chance either.

- FENELON (6) would've needed his comeback outing at Deauville and, with the benefit of that run under his belt, ideally engaged here to reconnect with success. However, he has to thwart the likely challenge of ZULU WARRIOR (5) who will appreciate this distance and play a leading role. THE GOOD MAN (3) lacks references on this surface but has shown enough to make his presence felt at the finish. ALWAYS WELCOME (4) and KAPANI (2) appeal most of the remainder.

- Hard race to assess. Maturing MISTRA RIVER (5) posted a career-best at Haras du Pin last time and should go well on her handicap and PSF debut if confirming that progress. LARMES D'OR (8) didn't go unnoticed, despite finishing unplaced, in a PSF claimer at Deauville earlier this month and, with improvement expected, she should be a factor in the outcome. Perrine Cheyer's weight allowance should aid the chances of WICKBURY (1) who caught the eye at Machecoul 10 days ago, so she is another with legitimate ambitions on her handicap/PSF debut. SIGNORIA PIAZZA (9) has more experience than most of her rivals and should stand her in good stead.

- AVENTINO (8) slots in with a nice galloping weight and looks set to run his best race to date. BELLA INDIA (2) started off her career on the right note but has been disappointing at her last two outings. If she puts her best foot forward, she could well win this. STAR OF LIGHT (10) ran a better race last time out and with improvement on the cards, she should be competitve. GOT PLAY (13) isn't the most reliable but has produced a couple of good efforts which should see him in the mix.

- HAPPY AGAIN (1) arrives in solid form and has done well this calendar year. He was a winner two starts back and can add another win to his tally. BAYLINER (2) remains a maiden but is seldom far off the action and should be involved at the finish. RED IN SIGHT (3) showed up much better last time out and could be ideally placed in this contest. SI CAPO SI (6) finished behind our pick last time out but finds himself 2.5kgs better off at the weights which could see him getting closer if not winning.

- RIYABOVKA (8) produced her career best effort last time out and can continue improving which will see her right in the thick of things. IMEDARA (11) has found form after a slow start to her career and she should run a huge race. BAILEYS ILLUSION (9) wasn't beaten far last time out and a repeat performance should see her going well. MIA BELLA (10) won well at a weaker center but could prove to be very competitive.

- BAGGALA (6) finished behind a couple reopposing sorts last time out but with a bit more luck in running, she could turn the form around despite meeting them on the same weight terms. HANTANO (13) continues to threaten for that maiden victory and should be bang there at the finish. IGNOL (4) is seldom far off the action and is capable of making his presence felt in a race of this nature. ZEOLAKIS (2) fluffed his lines last time out but should be able to bounce back with Mikael Barzalona engaged to ride.

- Terrific winner of the Gr.2 Prix Louis Tillaye here 3 weeks ago, on his first public start under the saddle, LOOPING DAY (11) looks more than capable of doubling up. He will nevertheless be pitted against some good elements, notably the reconfigured LIONHEART (9) who boasts a 100% win-rate in the discipline, and LOVISSIME (12) who put on an excellent show in the Gr.1 Saint-Leger des Trotteurs last time out. A place behind her that day, LOCHAN (5) has significant untapped potential and will be no easy touch.

- Three weeks after putting on a good show under harness, GAZELLE DE VAL (4) returns to the code in which she has yet to be defeated, and if she manages to hold off the in-form and reconfigured IMPALA DE VAL (5), she will have the race at her mercy. Others capable of stirring things up include back-row starters, EXTREME DESBOIS (8) who won over 2850m here during the summer, and the tough GALA D'URFIST (7) who is shod to preference for his return to the discipline.

- KISS ME SLOW kept on into fourth over 6f on her racecourse bow and, with a step up in trip likely to suit, she can go in at the second time of asking. Sharp Smile and Vanilla Sundae are others to consider.

- Although HITTHEROADJAK struggled in a stakes contest last time out, it would come as no surprise were the three-year-old to bounce back in these calmer waters. California Sober and Yo Daddy are feared most.

- While a few of these have something to prove, FIRST CLASS CAT finished a close-up third in this grade recently and a similar level of performance may suffice. Poseidon's Mist and Graceful Rose complete the shortlist.

- Strapped and D Day Sky are live threats on the pick of their form and they aren't taken lightly, but last month's maiden winner TORPEDO RUN looks to have more to offer.

- The downgraded I HEARD SOMETHINGS was only beaten three lengths when finishing in sixth here last month and a breakthrough victory could be on the horizon. Classicals Finale and Mischievous Trick are also worth a second look.

- A return to this course proved just the tonic for recent winner VEGAS WEEKEND and she looks capable of following up. My First Love and It Takes Heart could also make their presence felt.

- A MAIZE ZING DOTIE (first) got the better of Mybronxbaby (third) when the pair met over this trip in September, and the former gets the vote to confirm her superiority over that rival. Gone And Forgotten can also go well.

- The unexposed BAD BOY BUTCH looks to be progressing with each run and he gets the vote to gain a breakthrough victory here. Bolt D'plata and Dangerous Driver are respected most of the remainder.

- ITSUPTOME went close on her latest outing over C&D and she gets the vote at the expense of Vieste and Carmelized.

- TALENTED LORD has been impressive on both career starts to date and the daughter of Lord Nelson is expected to continue her progression. Petty Perfect and Shewonttalktome appear best of the remainder.

- SAUCY BOSS went close to making a winning start to her career, running on strongly, and the step up in trip promises to yield a fair amount of progression. Others to consider are Macnick Time and Alice's Moon.

- It could pay to stick with CELTIC REVIVAL in an open affair as she bolted up here last time. Perpetual Praise and Best Virginia represent viable alternatives.

- LAWYER UP RILEY returns from a layoff but has shown enough to suggest he can win at this level. Dream Force makes more appeal than the unpredictable No Brake Needed of the remainder.

- SCREW LOOSE has been competing in tougher claimers than this and looks the one to side with. Pink Dinghy and Yangarra returned easy winners on their latest starts and may prove the main threats.

- SUBTLE STORM improved from her first to her second start to score here last time out and she can follow up on the drop in trip. That may be at the main expense of Crafty Candygram and Navy Band.

- SHEWEARSSTILETTOS could not have done it any easier over 7f here last time out and she can uphold form with Music Lass (third) on this occasion. Appealing Road cannot be ruled out either.

- CASHMEUP has shown enough in recent starts to suggest that he can regain the winning thread and he is preferred to the likes of Harvard and Vittorio.

- A comfortable winner over C&D last time out, SLAM DIEGO is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and she can follow up. Cactus Flower and Jump Into The Fire need considering as well.

- This represents a significant drop in grade for MAN OF MISCHIEF and he can take advantage for a first career success. His chief threats look to be Haunted Flame and Storm The Streets.

- This represents a significant ease in grade for MISS HEBRIDES and she gets the vote to take full advantage. Bah Humbug and Standoutsensation look the pick of the remainder.

- SOMBRA DORADA remains open to improvement after just four career starts and she gets the vote to land the spoils in what looks a winnable affair on paper. Sharper Gal and Teardrop Tiara can also go well.

- GENERAL MATHIS fairly bolted up over an extended mile here last time out and, stepping up in trip, he should be tough to stop provided he arrives in similar form. The Prince's Spur and Gilded Craken can put up the most resistance to the selection.

- TIGER DIVISION arrives on the back of a solid second over 6f here and she's likely to take all the beating if seeing out an extended mile. Carolina Smokeshow and Fearless Lady top the list of threats.

- ROMANTIC DANCER looked one to follow when opening her account for previous connections at Keeneland last month and she may follow up if proving as strong for Carlos Santamaria. Bourbon Serengeti and Beach Bunny are also noted.

- ROYAL SANDRIN produced a career-best effort to finish second at Keeneland last month and he might be capable of going one better in this event. Navy Seal and My Boy Tony are others to consider.

- LORD I WONDER beat Upon A Star (fourth) when she took the silver medal home at Keeneland on her latest outing and that looks the key piece of form to focus on. Newcomer Catchphrase needs to be monitored in the market.

- A runner-up at both Churchill and Keeneland recently, this is a good opening for CAT ON TIME and he is preferred to Cant Be Doin That. Libertango is another to consider.

- The unexposed BANANA PUDDING made light work of her rivals when bolting up over 6f here last month, and a similar level of performance could see the three-year-old double her tally. Countess Colette and Flame For Real are feared most.

- Fresh from wins at Thistledown and over this C&D, STORMED OUT can continue his fine run of form and complete the hat-trick. Palace Temptation and Roll On Big O head the list of dangers.

- NOTORIOUS SIXOHTWO couldn't get to the front on his hat-trick mission and faded out of contention, but his double was completed in bloodless fashion in allowance company and he can bounce back. Salta is the one on a three-timer now and is joined on the list of dangers by One Red Cent.

- Watch Me Daddy beat Sharp Lady to the runner-up berth over track and trip but may have to settle for a supporting again, this time behind KOZY NIGHT. There was a good word for Larry Smith's youngster prior to her introduction and although she had to settle for second, there was plenty of encouragement to take from the performance.

- Tweet Away Robin continues to go from strength to strength and swatted aside Epicurean to complete a five-timer. Her winning spree could be brought to an end by BOOGIE BOOGEE, who found an allowance contest too hot on her return to this venue and is much better suited to this level.

- PRIVATE MOMENT arrives on the back of a solid second over 6f here and a return to a mile may prove fruitful. Shake The Frost and Ironclad Alibi complete the shortlist.

- HIDDEN HEART posted his best effort to date when runner-up at Thistledown last month and a similar performance may prove good enough. Indy's Hope and Skunk Ape are viable alternatives.

- JESS MR MAYITO took a decent step forward when runner-up here in April and recent trackwork suggests he is capable of going one better. M S D Greatkingmidas and Aamerican Oak appear best of the remainder.

- FINNERS GOLDNSENSE can take advantage of this easier assignment to shed the maiden tag at the 10th attempt. Son O' Sanpete and Heatinthecapital appear best of the remainder.

- LEVON got off the mark in fine style at Albuquerque last month and he may prove difficult to beat if reproducing that kind of display. The main threats are likely to be A Lot Of Verve and My Cairo Kid.

- CY'S SILKSTOCKING is taken to exploit an ease in grade and open her account, with Vegas Charm and Treasure Of Jewels suggested as the most likely dangers.

- Sprinkles and Olivian both make appeal in what looks a weak affair but the vote goes to HOT LAVA CAKE, who will find this easier than the starter allowance contest she ran in recently.

- CONFIDENCE BUILDER failed in her hat-trick bid recently, but this will not take much winning and she's fancied to bounce back. Holy Tutta Bella and Amaretto Di Amore are feared most.

- This represents a fair drop in grade for SURROUNDEDBYANGELS and he may outshine these rivals. Aplombado and Gold Express can also make their presence felt.

- LAKER JET has acquitted herself with credit in stronger company of late and this looks a suitable opportunity for her to record a seventh career victory. Carla's Honor and Miss Accelerate have been in decent heart at Hastings and they complete the shortlist.
