@SP
Lose
-50
Lord Protector's trainer has a 20.59% strike rate in the last 14 days. Stable form is good form, and with experienced rider J P Sullivan in the saddle and with a handy draw, should be right in the frame for a good way in this.

Tables Turned is second-up here after resuming from a lengthy spell of 426 days. Has ability. Placed second-up previously. In-form trainer and rider. Upset chance.

Mother Mara is a useful type who is likely to appreciate the yielding nature of the track here. Gerald O'Leary should have this horse ready to shine here.

Aeolian is a big chance here for the Haggas and Fallon combo and has strong claims here. King and Queen own this one and looked good on debut. Should be at peak for this after a good debut.

Protest Rally
Daily Racing

Lose
-50
Protest Rally's last two runs were at York, and I don't think that track suited at all. So it might be best to disregard that form. Absolute course specialist and seems to prefer the tighter tracks. Four of five wins have been on turf.
19:10 7:10 Galway
Ledecky
Daily Racing

@5.50
Lose
-50
Ledecky could be right in the 'swim' of things on debut here with the talented Nicola Burns claiming seven pounds and being prepared by a top trainer who knows how to get them ready to fire first-up. Bred to handle softer ground.
18:20 6:20 Newmarket
Saytarr

@26.00
Win

Saytarr is a son of Mehmas who has been the subject of good support in his races, suggesting he's shown ability at home. Stronger now, and tote and bookies should be the best guide to chances after 11 months off as to how well forward he is.

Uncle Pat made a good fist of his chasing debut and looks set to go one better here for the strong Mullins-Townend combination of trainer and jockey.

Push The Limit
Daily Racing

@6.50
Win
165
Push The Limit is a consistent type, and trainer Ralph Beckett has given him a two-month freshen-up coming into this. Hector Crouch takes the reins, and the horse is trying to make amends for letting punters down badly last time out when beaten by a good type.
16:05 4:05 Southwell
Cancan In The Rain
Daily Racing

@8.00
Win
210
Cancan In The Rain is third-up here and improved a lot off the resuming run when last produced. George Wood is riding very well. More experienced rider this time and should have benefited considerably from the first two outings.
15:05 3:05 Goodwood
Big Mojo

Big Mojo is a course and distance winner and with a 9-2-3 career record and Tom Marquand to be legged up into the saddle, looks a decent prospect. Placed on this track twice last year.

Heather Main has her team firing, and she's legging up the very much in-form apprentice Alec Voikhasnsky here. Alec is riding superbly with a 31.25% strike rate in the last 14 days. The penny may finally be starting to drop for Time After Time too, as his last two runs have seen him much closer than in his first four runs. That 120-day spell and some racing under his belt seem to be working the oracle. One for odds.

Both trainer and jockey are going through a good patch of wins at present. The good-to-soft predicted conditions should suit this horse. Placed here on the poly track with the same rider in January and has had two runs back off a 139-day let-up, so you'd expect some benefit to now be coming through with those runs under the belt. Improved effort at Brighton and that could be the indicator to a big odds upset (he said hopefully).

Wadacre Giorgio

@23.00
Lose
-50
Yes, the form is not inspiring with three 8th placings since resuming from a long spell but has needed them and hasn't done himself any favours by racing keenly in front in two of them and missing the jump in the other one. Why they continue to lead on him is beyond me, but I'm hoping they revert to racing him in behind as he placed third on debut when those tactics were adopted.

Jonny Concrete

@13.00
Lose
-50
Jonny Concrete is an honest and consistent son of Oasis Dream who takes on much tougher company than he's used to here. He has a decent pull in the weights as a result and could make his presence felt as he looks even stronger this time in. I consider him a dangerous lightweight for the in-form Iain Jardine, who has his team going nicely, while jockey Andrew Slattery is well overdue some better form.
18:17 6:17 Down Royal
Invincible Will
Daily Racing
50 WINNAP
@29.00
Lose
-50
Invincible Will is an upset chance here as he wasn't suited last time by the tight track at Bellewstown. But before that, he was a useful sixth on debut at Navan. With the benefit of those two runs under the belt, he looks the improver in this field at odds. I like that the in-form trainer ran him over a mile last time out and that he was too keen on debut for his own good over six furlongs. This indicates that seven furlongs might be his trip, and with that extra stamina from the mile outing to benefit, he might stick on better this time of asking.
Monocle Rocket
Daily Racing
25 EW
@41.00
Lose
-50
Henry De Bromhead is better known as a trainer of jumpers, of course, but his record of 40% with flat runners in the last fortnight has to be greatly respected here. Some each-way value is possible here with Monocle Rocket, who, while still learning his craft, could bob up at big odds for the astute veteran trainer. Jockey Slattery is also in good touch in the last fortnight, and this combination could surprise.

-50
Daughter of little-known sire Sergei Prokofiev, this filly. Trainer Meehan is firing, and so too is jockey Charles Bishop, an experienced horseman who should suit this horse. Has drawn out, so deserves to be at longer odds on that score over this trip. But with a bit of luck and held up for a last run at them, could be in the frame.

Rod Millman and Hollie Doyle combine here, and both are going well in the last fortnight. Drawn to take advantage and is by sprinting sire Blue Point, so looks well suited to the trip.

A good amateur rider in Heidi Palin combined with a good trainer in Ian Williams on a horse who ran an improver's race last time out. Looks set to go well at decent each-way odds and I see some value in an open lineup.

Ella Smart rides Will, and here she combines with the Moores on a useful horse who should be well suited here. Kotari looks set to go close at around 4/1 odds.

Galen
Daily Racing
50 WIN
@3.50

-50
In-form jockey and good yard of Joe O'Brien, and they generally make a good combination. This horse ran a solid second last time out, indicating he is close to winning form. Galen (the rugby league player turned boxer) beat Sonny Bill Williams on a split points decision last night in Australia - so why not his namesake at Leopardstown!

Hills Of Glory is just the type to upset at big odds here after a penultimate start win at Downpatrick and then a useful sixth at his last appearance. Gavin Cromwell has him racing well and the horse would not need to improve much in an open field to take the thick end of the purse.

Young Churchill has been consistent without setting the sky on fire. The form guides seem to have this horse's form a bit awry. They show him as fifth at Killarney and resuming here, but the At The Races site shows him as a last start winner, so I'm a bit confused. If that alleged maiden hurdle win last time out over 19f on July 7 is the real deal, then it's not hard to imagine a repeat as being on the cards in a field as open as this one. Or maybe I need to go to Specsavers?

Ronan Whelan for P J Fahey here and at the odds I quite like this horse's chances, given that he actually won last time out but was then relegated to second. Big improver at Down Royal and the yielding ground underfoot should suit perfectly.

Yes, the form line is far from inspiring and deserves to be at long odds. But sometimes a change of scenery can work the oracle for a horse who has been found wanting in a bigger yard. Rosemary Connors now has this mare, and this is her first run for Rosie. Looked useful at Thurles a season back on debut over bigger fences. In her only run over them this time, she was prominent but then found wanting and wasn't persevered with. A repeat of that effort at Thurles could bring her into contention.

I'm surprised Havachoc is the likely outsider in the betting here after an improver's third when produced right-handed for the first time. Runs on another right-handed course here, and that might be the key to the roan gelding by Havana Gold.

The Pug is the type to break through for a deserved win here. Another of the stock of Churchill and could make it a 1-2 finish for the sire in an open event. A forward showing would not surprise.

Apprentice Shane Fenelon, who has won on this horse previously, takes the mount for new trainer Mickey Bowen. Won on debut at Doncaster and then backed that up in a big field (20 runners) with a solid fourth at Aintree before being put away for four months to resume here. Only winner in the field with the rest being maidens, so experience should count for a lot and will be a short-priced order. Just sit on and steer him straight Shane and all should be well.

Tom Broughton's five-pound claim could make all the difference here, given that his main rival, Time To Bite, has previously looked vulnerable with big weights. That was a solid second last time out and set to go one better here.

Max Of Stars

Ollie Pears prepares Maax Of Stars, and with top rider Sam Twiston-Davies taking the reins on the likely favourite, they look set to get the thick end of the purse this time of asking after some good recent efforts from this handy mare. Course and distance winner previously.

Centara

Jay Tiball gets five pounds off the back here, and that will be welcome. He is riding well. Won in this class previously two back and then won again in C4 company last time out. Getting up in the weights now but gives every impression he can handle it, as that was an easy win last time out.

David O'Meara is an underrated trainer, and he brings a son of Territories in the form of Spring Festival to the Scottish course of Hamilton. With just two placings from a dozen starts, the field is not strong, and he won't get many easier opportunities to make his mark. That last start third looked as if the penny might have dropped at long last, and at useful each-way odds, he could step up into the money again.

I'm going for experience here over disclosed form. Ian Williams is a good trainer and he combines with a very astute horseman in Charles Bishop. Al Shabab is a son of Saxon Warrior and has proven hard to follow at times, but has obviously shown ability in training, as they sent him out at 7/2 when resuming and he was not knocked about in the running. With a less experienced rider up second-up, he dwelt from the barriers and was never in contention after getting too far out of his ground. He will have benefited from both outings and should be ready to show his best at big odds this time. Was placed third-up (third) in his first preparation.

Thinthread looks each-way value here at around 8/1. Andre Fabre is a top trainer and has a very fine record at Chantilly. The Invincible Spirit colt he lines up here has looked promising and won at this trip off a 158-day let-up when resuming but then failed at Longchamp when up in distance. Back to a trip he should appreciate here and with Alexis Puchin in the pigskin, he looks a live chance for a minor upset in an open field.

Andrew Balding has a bit of an enigma horse in Good Shot in here, and with the experience of Oisin Murphy to help his chances, he looks capable of taking this out. Was 150/1 last time out but does not handle Tapeta tracks and will be a lot shorter here in turf debut. Don't be fooled by the form line, it's all been on all-weather tracks, and he has obviously shown ability in training as he started at 7/1 on debut. The smoky.
