1	4 1st (4) (16/1 -60%) Grainne A Chroi		16 16/1(-60%)																															(4) Grainne A Chroi 16/1, Improved for the step up in trip but was given too much to do when second, beaten 2 1/4l in the Grade 3 Shannon Spray Mares Novice Hurdle at Limerick last time; returning from a long layoff. Effective from 2m-2 3/4m, acts on soft and yielding; progressive when last seen. Ended last season with a pleasing second in a Grade 3 event over 2m6f at Limerick in March.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 +33%) World Of Fortunes		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(1) World Of Fortunes 10/3, Made mistakes and was below form when fourth, beaten 8 1/4l in the Listed Doncaster Mares' Hurdle at Doncaster last time; off a short break. Stays 3m and a sound surface suits best; had been in good form prior to that run but conditions a concern. Won two Listed novice hurdles last season, needs to bounce back from a below-par run.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 +44%) Kilbarry Saint		9 9/1(+44%)																															(5) Kilbarry Saint 9/1, Outclassed and comfortably held in the Grade 2 Order Of St George Mares Novice Chase at Cork last time; off a short break. Effective from 2m-2 1/2m, acts on soft and good to soft; generally consistent but needs a drop in grade. Better known as a useful maiden chaser, not well treated byb the race conditions.
4	6 4th (6) (15/8 +25%) Lantry Lady		1.875 15/8(+25%)																															(6) Lantry Lady 15/8, Outpaced, not knocked about and saw out the longer trip when fourth, beaten 21l in the Grade 2 Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran Park last time. Effective from 2 1/2-3m and suited by plenty of cut; below her best for the last year, lightly raced and unexposed as a stayer. Sets the form standard and should go close. Promising mare two seasons ago, ran only twice last season, unconvincing recent form.
5th	2 5th (2) (3/1 +50%) Baby Kate		3 3/1(+50%)																															(2) Baby Kate 3/1, Yard won this race last year; back to form down in class when second, beaten 9l in the Munster Hurdle at Clonmel last time. Effective from 2m-2m2f, acts on soft and good; Listed bumper winner who may do better in handicaps on better ground over hurdles. Clonmel second was reassuring after two failures, others better treated at these weights.
6th	7 6th (7) (13/2 +77%) Pebble Bleu		6.5 13/2(+77%)																															(7) Pebble Bleu 13/2, Did it comfortably and improved again, suited by an aggressive ride when winning a handicap hurdle here by 3 1/2l last time. Enjoys making it; effective from 2m5f-3m, acts on any; well treated on chase form and thriving of late over hurdles. Has won three of her last four handicap starts, remains well short of Grade 3 standard.

COUSIN KATE continued her rapid rise with a Listed handicap success at the Dublin Racing Festival and there might still be more to come from Denis Hogan's mare. The daughter of Maxios takes on her half-sister Baby Kate, but the latter will need to find improvement and Lantry Lady looks the bigger threat. She was outclassed in the Galmoy latest and has been struggling for some time in truth, but this is a chance to bounce back. World Of Fortunes has run well in a couple of Listed contests the last twice and could benefit from a drop in trip.

On a roll in handicaps COUSIN KATE has reached a standard that gives her good prospects of winning a race of this nature

1	4 1st (4) (11/10 +37%) He Knows Better		1.1 11/10(+37%)																															(4) He Knows Better 11/10, Travelled and ran to form when beaten 3l by a strong stayer off a 1lb lower mark at Warwick last time; effective around 2m4f. In good form and should go close. In-form chaser who should be fine back down in trip; leading contender.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 -150%) William Cody		10 10/1(-150%)																															(5) William Cody 10/1, A bit below form when 17l third in a handicap chase at Leicester on his most recent run; off a short break. Effective at 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground; competitively weighted. Third in this last year and solid 2nd on penultimate start; holds each-way claims again.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 +10%) Gaelic Rambler		9 9/1(+10%)																															(3) Gaelic Rambler 9/1, Unseated when held in a handicap chase at Wincanton latest; effective at 3m on G; open to improvement over fences. Runner-up in 2 Irish points; unseated on h'cap/chase debut but unexposed and can do better.
4	8 4th (8) (4/1 +50%) Rule Me In		4 4/1(+50%)																															(8) Rule Me In 4/1, Below form up in trip when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Newbury last time; effective over 2m-2m4f and may need some slight give. His jumping must improve to figure over fences. Hasn't got going in h'cap chases but has been attracting support; can probably do better.
5th	2 5th (2) (18/1 -100%) Get Up Mush		18 18/1(-100%)																															(2) Get Up Mush 18/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time; effective over 2m4f-3m1f and acts on good to soft and good. Has been below par since a layoff and needs to raise his game. Poor in 2 starts this term and has a question to answer at present; market support a help.
6	6 |PU| (6) (6/1 +20%) Disguisedlimit		6 6/1(+20%)																															(6) Disguisedlimit 6/1, Went clear and returned to form down in trip but was probably ridden overly aggressively when beaten 5l in a handicap chase at Ayr last time; effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good. Possibly capable of better in a tongue-tie. One blip in four starts for the yard; solid third last time; tongue-tie goes on; respected.
1	1 |PU| (1) (11/1 -47%) Doyouknowwhatimean		11 11/1(-47%)																															(1) Doyouknowwhatimean 11/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Wetherby last time; effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on any ground. Needs to bounce back from that below-par effort to feature. Good 2nd (2m4f, heavy) on yard debut in December; pulled up latest but can't be ruled out.

HE KNOWS BETTER has been knocking on the door since falling on his first try over fences at Haydock in December and the drop in trip may provide the opportunity required for him to strike. Disguisedlimit finished third at Ayr last time and could step forward with a tongue tie applied on this occasion. Others to consider are William Cody and Gaelic Rambler.

A chance is taken on the unexposed GAELIC RAMBLER, who has the looks to make a chaser and can strip fitter after last month's comeback.

1	9 1st (9) (10/1 -82%) Holetown		10 10/1(-82%)																															(9) Holetown 10/1, Had every chance but was below form when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Fontwell last time. Effective at 2m and acts on testing ground. Showed useful form in France and is capable of better than she has shown for her new yard, likely over fences. Two-time French chase winner who could stage major revival on first British chase start.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +64%) Georgi Girl		4 4/1(+64%)																															(4) Georgi Girl 4/1, Travelled well but again found little when fourth, beaten 10l, in a handicap chase at Windsor last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on soft and good ground, though she has proved a weak finisher. Didn't run badly at Windsor last time but needs something extra to break her chasing duck.
3	6 3rd (6) (13/2 +46%) Malaita		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(6) Malaita 13/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Windsor last time. Trainer is in form and she enjoys making it. Effective from 2m4f to 3m1f and best on decent ground, having been in form until that latest run. Disappointing at Windsor last month but runner-up on final two outings in 2025.
4	8 4th (8) (9/2 +31%) Regal Renaissance		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(8) Regal Renaissance 9/2, Fell in a handicap chase here last time after a short break when set for a place. Effective at 2 1/2m and suited by decent ground. A consistent performer who likes the track and can run well. Second in this last year and returned to form over C&D in December; on the shortlist.
5th	2 5th (2) (3/1 +33%) Party Vibes		3 3/1(+33%)																															(2) Party Vibes 3/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Cheltenham on her penultimate start. Up in trip and did not stay on testing ground when pulled up in the Heroes Handicap Hurdle latest. Enjoys making it, effective at 2-2 1/2m, inconsistent but better over fences. Won big-field handicap at Cheltenham on last chase start; pulled up in 2m7f hurdle latest.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/1 +31%) Politacus		11 11/1(+31%)																															(7) Politacus 11/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time after a short break. Effective from 2m to 2m6f on soft and good ground, but has plenty to prove at present. Soundly beaten/pulled up on her two outings towards end of last year, after long absence.
5	5 |PU| (5) (5/1 -11%) Theonewedreamof		5 5/1(-11%)																															(5) Theonewedreamof 5/1, Yard won this race last year. Below form up in trip and back on softer ground when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Hereford last time. Had been in good form prior, effective from 2m3f to 3m, and in fine form for her new yard until latest. Had an excuse for latest effort and she'd been doing well for her new yard previously.
1	1 |PU| (1) (16/1 -14%) Minniemum		16 16/1(-14%)																															(1) Minniemum 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Hereford last time after a short break. Wants 3m on good ground and had been progressing over fences prior to that, now on a fair mark based on her Listed form. Doing well over fences until soft-ground blip latest; could bounce back if conditions suit.

A few of these have something to prove, but not MOLTO BENE. Charlie Longsdon's mare won her first two starts over fences before filling the runner-up spot in a couple of Listed events in which she had plenty to find on official ratings. Back in a handicap, she can resume her progress. Party Vibes should be happier back over the larger obstacles, while Regal Renaissance wasn't out of it when falling over C&D in December.

The return to fences could be a big positive for two-time French chase winner HOLETOWN, who is taken to get off the mark in Britain.

1	1 1st (1) (4/6 -8%) How's Hannah		0.666667 4/6(-8%)																															(1) How's Hannah 4/6, Yard has won 2 of the last 10 runnings of this race; made a very promising debut when winning a mares' bumper here by 13l last time. Effective at 2m on testing ground and major player on her hurdles debut. Point winner was a very easy bumper victor on stable debut; leading chance.
2	7 2nd (7) (13/8 +0%) Torpille Dagrostis		1.625 13/8(+0%)																															(7) Torpille Dagrostis 13/8, Very promising debut when second, beaten 2l, in a graduation hurdle here last time; trainer in form. Effective at 2m3f and acts on heavy; more to come from a top yard and should be winning soon. Placed in a point and opening bumper runs; left poor run behind when runner-up latest.
3	3 3rd (3) (150/1 -20%) Forever And A Day		150 150/1(-20%)																															(3) Forever And A Day 150/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a graduation hurdle here on her only start; a longer trip should suit but plenty more is needed. Unsighted on debut here at 250-1; a lot to do on the basis of that..
4	5 4th (5) (80/1 -60%) Lucy Jordan		80 80/1(-60%)																															(5) Lucy Jordan 80/1, Moderate debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective at 3m in points but improvement is needed. Hit the frame in three of four points; tailed off on rules' bow at 100-1; unlikely.
5th	2 5th (2) (150/1 -50%) Ballinaboola Hanna		150 150/1(-50%)																															(2) Ballinaboola Hanna 150/1, Another poor run when well beaten in a mares' bumper here last time; may do better now sent hurdling but this a big ask. Tailed off in two bumpers, the latter of which she started at 200-1 here; hard to fancy.
6th	4 6th (4) (25/1 -79%) Lady Cosmo		25 25/1(-79%)																															(4) Lady Cosmo 25/1, Improved when winning a maiden point at Ballindenisk by 1/2l last time; returns from a short break. A point winner who is worth a market check on her debut under Rules. Purchased for 25,000euros following a 0.5l length point win; makes rule's debut now.

Despite carrying a penalty, HOW'S HANNAH should prove hard to beat. Successful in a point-to-point when in the care of Tim Townend, she impressed when following up on her debut for current connections in a bumper here last month. Easily beating Think It Through into second, that one had finished ahead of Torpille Dagrostis when they clashed at Limerick over Christmas. The Gordon Elliott-trained latter has since finished second in first-time cheekpieces on her debut over flights here and it will come as no great surprise if she goes close. Forever And A Day made some late gains to finish seventh on debut and could prove best of the rest.

Looks like a shootout between the top yards. HOW'S HANNAH is more appealing than Torpille Dagrostis after her easy bumper win

1	7 1st (7) (3/1 -60%) Midnight Jukebox		3 3/1(-60%)																															(7) Midnight Jukebox 3/1, Very promising debut when 3/4l winner in a maiden point at Castlelands on debut; returning from long layoff; point win looks strong form and he has joined yard which gets plenty of first-time-out bumper winners. Odds-on, won Irish point debut in March; bought for £135,000 four days later; interesting.
2	8 2nd (8) (13/8 +46%) Smokehouse		1.625 13/8(+46%)																															(8) Smokehouse 13/8, Promising debut 1 1/2l winner in a maiden point at Belclare on debut; returning from long layoff; effective at 3m in points; brings plenty of potential to rules.

4	1 4th (1) (4/1 +11%) Brecharnon		4 4/1(+11%)																															(1) Brecharnon 4/1, Raced wide and travelled well when a promising 2l winner on bumper debut at Chepstow. Returning from a long layoff, he was effective at 2m on good ground and has joined a top yard ahead of this return, with a good chance under a penalty. Cost £95,000 after March's winning debut; player under a penalty on first go for this yard.
5th	5 5th (5) (25/1 -14%) Kappa Des Mottes		25 25/1(-14%)																															(5) Kappa Des Mottes 25/1, £65,000 Kapgarde gelding; brother to Grand Garcon, useful at 2m; trainer in form and this one is respected on debut albeit in a hot race. £65,000 3yo; plenty of hope in pedigree and in-form yard can have winners in this sphere.
6th	10 6th (10) (40/1 -43%) Mac Gayveur		40 40/1(-43%)																															(10) Mac Gayveur 40/1, King Edward gelding and half-brother to Grooveur, who was useful at around 2m4f. Looks an unlikely winner on debut having been found a warm race. Half-brother to 5 winners; yard no stranger to success in bumpers; market check essential.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/1 -146%) Eclat De Marvel		16 16/1(-146%)																															(3) Eclat De Marvel 16/1, Down the field on bumper debut in the Listed Three Counties Christmas Open NH Flat Race at Cheltenham on his most recent start. Effective at 3m in points and off a short break, but a bounce back is needed at this lower level with a tongue-tie tried. 2nd in Irish point in March; no show in Listed bumper in November; tongue-tie goes on.
8th	11 8th (11) (80/1 -60%) Pluto Star		80 80/1(-60%)																															(11) Pluto Star 80/1, Ulysses gelding out of a dam who was a fair Flat winner up to 15f.

9th	4 9th (4) (10/1 +9%) Ka Mate Du Brivet		10 10/1(+9%)																															(4) Ka Mate Du Brivet 10/1, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden point at Quakerstown by 6l last time. Effective at 3m in points and brings plenty of potential to rules racing. Off the mark in third Irish point; bought for £62,000 six days later; market can guide.
10th	9 10th (9) (150/1 -733%) Little Ruby		150 150/1(-733%)																															(9) Little Ruby 150/1, Mondialiste mare out of a dam who was a moderate Flat winner up to 16f.

11th	2 11th (2) (150/1 -88%) Arizona Moon		150 150/1(-88%)																															(2) Arizona Moon 150/1, Poor on debut when well beaten in a bumper at Hereford in a tongue-tie on his only start. Hard to make a case for on that evidence and likely to need more time. 18-1 and beaten an awfully long way on his debut at Hereford (soft) last month.

Brecharnon won on his sole outing for Tom Weston at Chepstow last March but whether he can give away a 7lb penalty on his first appearance for Dan Skelton remains to be seen. With that in mind, the vote goes to MIDNIGHT JUKEBOX. The five-year-old got the better of Listed-placed hurdler Soldier Reeves in a point-to-point and was subsequently purchased for 135,000 pounds. From a yard who do particularly well in this sphere, he may just have the edge. Smokehouse, Sea Tempest and Kappa Des Mottes head the remainder.

Brecharnon sets the standard but some of the rules debutants are interesting, none more so than MIDNIGHT JUKEBOX.

Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time; effective at 2 1/2m on soft and good to soft; back below his last winning mark, with form in and out of late.

Had been in good form prior; returns from a short break; effective from 2m to 3m on soft and good; this mark demands more. Has had wind op since last time and he won after such surgery in 2024; one to consider.
4	3 4th (3) (25/1 -79%) Landen Calling		25 25/1(-79%)																															(3) Landen Calling 25/1, Needed the run when fourth, beaten 78l, in a handicap chase at Leicester on his latest outing.

Trainer is in form; effective at 2m4f on soft and open to improvement as a chaser. He needs a bigger run today but this 8yo has raced only five times and is in top hands.

Visor fitted for the first time; effective around 3m on a sound surface and looks fairly treated if building on that recent revival. Inconsistent but runner-up at Warwick last time; major player if backing that up.
6	6 |PU| (6) (50/1 -52%) Vee Dancer		50 50/1(-52%)																															(6) Vee Dancer 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster on his latest start.

Market check advised on chase debut but pulled up over hurdles on last two starts.

JACKS PARROT finished third behind last weekend's Grand National Trial winner Grand Geste in the Tommy Whittle at Haydock just before Christmas and it won't be a surprise if the seven-year-old is able to get his head back in front. Dyno Dave is entitled to improve from what was essentially his first run of the season at Ffos Las, having unseated at the first fence on his return at Taunton. The Newest One may benefit from a first-time visor.

Wind surgery has done the trick for PETTY CASH in the past and he earns the vote on his first outing since a second wind op.

2	2 2nd (2) (9/4 +10%) Small Town Hero		2.25 9/4(+10%)																															(2) Small Town Hero 9/4, Scored by 4l off a 10lb lower mark at Haydock three starts back. Did too much too soon and stopped quickly on testing ground when pulled up in a Listed Handicap Hurdle latest. Effective at 3m and suited by a sound surface. Progressive as a stayer until that run. In good form for this yard before PU last time; may prefer better ground..
3	1 3rd (1) (9/4 -50%) Ontheropes		2.25 9/4(-50%)																															(1) Ontheropes 9/4, Forced to switch and flew home when returning to form over a longer trip, beaten 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time. Effective over 3m+, has tumbled down the weights and is on a good mark on chase form. Could build on that latest effort. Didn't show much in two winter starts until runner-up latest; needs to back it up.
4	3 4th (3) (10/1 +44%) Portnacoo		10 10/1(+44%)																															(3) Portnacoo 10/1, Up in trip and did not stay on unsuitable testing ground when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park most recently. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground. Wants a drop back in trip. Four-time hurdles winner has been poor this term; 34l to find with Ontheropes from latest.

With cheekpieces reapplied, SMALL TOWN HERO might be able to bounce back from a disappointing effort at the Dublin Racing Festival. In first-time blinkers, the Ian Donoghue-trained six-year-old pulled up at Leopardstown but had been a model of consistency prior to that, winning five times from July to December. Better known for his exploits over fences, Ontheropes is the second choice. On what was just his third start over the smaller obstacles, the 12-year-old ran a huge race to finish second to The Lovely Man at Gowran on Thyestes day, and had the reopposing Well Del and Portnacoo behind. Well Del was sent off favourite on that occasion and it'll be interesting to see how he fares now starting off for David Walsh.

Tricky despite the small field. SMALL TOWN HERO probably wants better ground but has been going well overall and gets the tentative nod

1	4 1st (4) (7/1 -27%) Blue Run		7 7/1(-27%)																															(4) Blue Run 7/1, No-show from off the pace when well beaten on debut in a maiden hurdle at Warwick; off a short break; from a top yard and improvement is likely. 13-2 from 12-1 on debut but never threatened; in top hands and likely capable of better.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/1 +31%) Escort'kheops		11 11/1(+31%)																															(6) Escort'kheops 11/1, Made too much use of having gone clear but ran a solid race when fourth, beaten 6 1/2l, in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon latest; effective at 2m-2m3f, acts on soft and good; might be vulnerable here. Went off too quickly last time but previous handicap third gives him claims.
3	2 3rd (2) (1/1 +67%) Big Cadillac		1 1/1(+67%)																															(2) Big Cadillac 1/1, Touch green and not knocked about when comfortably held in the Grade 2 Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham last time; in good form prior; effective at 2m4f, acts on heavy and good to soft; point and bumper winner who may do better over hurdles with a tongue-tie now tried. Promise on hurdles debut; tall task in G2 latest; drops in class and trip; tongue-tie on.
4	13 4th (13) (150/1 -275%) Tombereau		150 150/1(-275%)																															(13) Tombereau 150/1, Ran green, made mistakes and was pulled up on his poor debut in a novice hurdle at Leicester latest; likely to need more time and low-grade handicaps. 33-1 and pulled up in good Leicester novice (about 2m4f, heavy) on rules debut last month.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 -50%) Double Tiger		33 33/1(-50%)																															(5) Double Tiger 33/1, Moderate debut when well beaten in a bumper at Warwick on his only start; returning from a long layoff and surely capable of better now switched to hurdles. 25-1 and eighth in Warwick bumper 300 days ago; market helpful on stable/hurdling debut.
6th	11 6th (11) (150/1 -650%) Noble George		150 150/1(-650%)																															(11) Noble George 150/1, No-show from off the pace when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield latest; effective at 2m1f, acts on good; the type to do better when handicapping. Beaten a combined 73l on his last two starts; needs this fourth run for a mark.
7th	10 7th (10) (13/2 +64%) Jonny Setaside		6.5 13/2(+64%)																															(10) Jonny Setaside 13/2, 45,000 euros Dink gelding; dam unraced half-sister to Hinterland, a classy sort at 2m over hurdles and fences; trainer in form but likely up against it. 45,000euros 3yo by Dink; yard among the winners; check the market for this debut.
8th	1 8th (1) (10/1 +50%) Always Stronger		10 10/1(+50%)																															(1) Always Stronger 10/1, Promising debut when third, beaten 3 1/2l, in a maiden point at Stowlin; absent for a very lengthy period and has undergone a wind op; effective at 3m in points but hard to fancy. 5-1 and third in sole Irish point (3m, soft) in May 2024; had wind surgery; rules debut.
12	12 |PU| (12) (7/2 -40%) Pertemps		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(12) Pertemps 7/2, Ran to form 16l third in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon most recent run; effective 2m, acts on Hy and S; should improve again up in trip. Improved when close second (2m, heavy) in December; step up in trip a positive; contender.
9	9 |PU| (9) (66/1 +18%) It's Party Time		66 66/1(+18%)																															(9) It's Party Time 66/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Doncaster latest; this is his second run after a wind op and he is off a short break; plenty to prove. 66-1 when pulled up in a Doncaster novice (about 2m3f, good) in late December.
8	8 |PU| (8) (150/1 -275%) Imnottalkingtoyou		150 150/1(-275%)																															(8) Imnottalkingtoyou 150/1, Well below form when comfortably held in a restricted point at Horseheath last time; effective at 3m in points and more exposed than many of these from the pointing field. Experienced pointer who is 2-16 in that sphere but tailed off at Horseheath last month.
7	7 |PU| (7) (200/1 -300%) Felix Maximus		200 200/1(-300%)																															(7) Felix Maximus 200/1, Pulled up on deep ground in a maiden hurdle at Lingfield on debut; surely capable of better at some stage but not easy to fancy here. Good family but can only be watched after pulling up on debut a fortnight ago.
3	3 |PU| (3) (200/1 -100%) Blazing Saint		200 200/1(-100%)																															(3) Blazing Saint 200/1, Still green and never jumped or travelled when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Plumpton last time; has plenty to prove and needs to do better now handicapping. Beaten miles in two maiden hurdles around this trip at Hereford and Plumpton; unlikely.

PERTEMPS gets a confident vote here for Olly Murphy and Sean Bowen. His best effort to date came in the mud at Uttoxeter two starts ago and a replication might be good enough, not least because the return to further should suit. Big Cadillac has yet to confirm the promise of his bumper win but will at least find this easier than the Grade 2 he contested at Cheltenham in December. Keep an eye on Escort'kheops too.

Big Cadillac commands respect but this can go to PERTEMPS, who should appreciate this longer trip.

1	2 1st (2) (6/1 +50%) Sir Hobnob		6 6/1(+50%)																															(2) Sir Hobnob 6/1, Had every chance but was below form on handicap debut when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Newbury last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on good to soft and good ground; still early days, but this mark requires improvement. Only sixth on Newbury h'cap debut but it may well have been a warm race; retains potential.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/11 +52%) Diamonds Galore		0.909091 10/11(+52%)																															(5) Diamonds Galore 10/11, Travelled well and was out-battled late when second, beaten 4 1/2l, in a novice hurdle here last time. That form has been franked. Trainer is in form and she is off a short break; effective over 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Can win soon. Runner-up on both hurdle starts; could benefit from drop back in trip on handicap debut.
3	8 3rd (8) (66/1 -65%) Regal Cavalier		66 66/1(-65%)																															(8) Regal Cavalier 66/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time and is off a short break. Effective over 2m and acts on good to soft and good ground; a French Flat winner who may do better in handicaps when getting better ground. May have needed the run on handicap debut but needs to be entirely different proposition.
4	1 4th (1) (22/1 -144%) Ice In The Veins		22 22/1(-144%)																															(1) Ice In The Veins 22/1, Far too free on handicap debut and unsuited by rain-softened ground when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kempton last time. Had been in good form prior and is effective over 2m-2m4f on good ground, but this mark demands more. Tailed off on h'cap debut when bidding for hat-trick; could leave that behind if settling.
5th	7 5th (7) (7/2 -75%) Westlain		3.5 7/2(-75%)																															(7) Westlain 7/2, Did it readily and improved back down in trip when landing a handicap by 5 1/2l off a 9lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time. Effective over 2m-2m3f and in fair form; a bit more to come. 4yo who did it easily at Huntingdon last time and a 9lb rise may not stop him.
6th	4 6th (4) (8/1 -14%) Phineas Bunce		8 8/1(-14%)																															(4) Phineas Bunce 8/1, Made mistakes and bled when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Chepstow last time. Off a short break and effective over 2m on good to soft and good ground; from a top yard but may be one for handicaps over further. Encouraging 3rd on hurdle debut; two lesser runs since but makes h'cap debut after wind op.
7th	6 7th (6) (7/1 +7%) Sense Of Reason		7 7/1(+7%)																															(6) Sense Of Reason 7/1, Improved for debut experience but was given a bit too much to do when fourth, beaten 7 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle at Lingfield last time. Effective from 10-16f and acts on soft; can do better over hurdles now handicapping. Flat winner who has made the frame on both hurdle starts; his opening mark looks workable.
8th	3 8th (3) (25/1 -14%) Soleil D'arizona		25 25/1(-14%)																															(3) Soleil D'arizona 25/1, Keen and appeared to need the run when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kempton most recently. Suited by a sharp 2m on a sound surface and should come on for that latest outing. Tailed off at Kempton recently but may have needed the run and is not written off.

WESTLAIN appreciated the drop back to 2m when running out a comfortable winner at Huntingdon earlier in the month. Despite the handicapper raising him 9lb, there appears to be more to come and the four-year-old may prove too strong for Diamonds Galore, who has finished second on both outings this season. Handicap debutant Sense Of Reason appeals most of the remainder.

Preference is for the 4yo WESTLAIN (nap) who bolted up at Huntingdon recently and is taken to defy a 9lb rise. Sir Hobnob is feared.

1	11 1st (11) (11/1 +8%) Rebel Cowgirl		11 11/1(+8%)																															(11) Rebel Cowgirl 11/1, May not have stayed on a quick reappearance when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Thurles last time. Had been in good form prior; effective around 2m4f, acts with cut and had been hinting at better. Front-runner hung around for minor honours at P'town and Limerick; 36l behind latest.
2	12 2nd (12) (11/1 +39%) Poets Oath		11 11/1(+39%)																															(12) Poets Oath 11/1, Made too much use of when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park last time. Needs more. Not much to shout about in m'dens and needs to step up on 24l sixth on h'cap debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (15/8 +44%) James The Brave		1.875 15/8(+44%)																															(1) James The Brave 15/8, Landed a handicap by a neck off a 6lb lower mark here last time. Effective over 2 1/2-3m and acts on Hy and G; in good form, likes to dominate and his hurdles mark still looks generous. Chase winner took advantage of lower hurdles mark to score here last time; in the mix.
4	6 4th (6) (11/2 +21%) Driveonwill		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(6) Driveonwill 11/2, Ran to form back up in trip when fourth, beaten 18l, in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Tongue-tie fitted for the first time; effective over 2 1/2-3m, suited by cut and in fair form. Hasn't run to market expectations this term; perhaps added tongue tie can help.
5th	14 5th (14) (11/4 +31%) Ellies Rock		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(14) Ellies Rock 11/4, Travelled well and improved on recent form when beaten 2 1/2l by a well handicapped rival off a 2lb lower mark here last time. Effective up to 2m4f, acts on Hy and G, and might have a bigger effort in her yet. Modest form until a runner-up last time; big player provided she builds on it.
6th	5 6th (5) (16/1 +11%) Laska Du Breuil		16 16/1(+11%)																															(5) Laska Du Breuil 16/1, Looked in need of a stiffer test when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle here last time. Trainer in form and may want further than 2m. Modest form; stayed on for an 18.25l ninth here last time; Donoghue rides.
7th	18 7th (18) (50/1 -150%) Quietrunsthedon		50 50/1(-150%)																															(18) Quietrunsthedon 50/1, Improved when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Thurles most recently. Usually held up, acts on Hy and there could be more to come now handicapping. Reserve; triple-figure odds for all four maiden hurdles; 28l behind El Cairos latest.
8th	16 8th (16) (9/1 +44%) Fortunate Outcome		9 9/1(+44%)																															(16) Fortunate Outcome 9/1, Travelled well for a long way before tiring when fourth, beaten 24l, in a handicap hurdle at Thurles last time. Effective over 2m2f and acts on Hy; yet to prove she is up to her basement mark but has hinted at better. Achieved best position so far when fourth at Thurles two weeks ago, but was beaten 24l.
9th	19 9th (19) (50/1 -52%) Masons Apron		50 50/1(-52%)																															(19) Masons Apron 50/1, Improved without threatening when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time. Acts on Hy and is likely to do better over further in handicaps. Reserve; huge prices and tailed off in three m'den hurdles; makes h'cap debut now.
15	15 |F| (15) (66/1 -32%) Sonny Fella		66 66/1(-32%)																															(15) Sonny Fella 66/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here last time. Blinkers fitted for the first time; off a short break, effective over 2 1/2m but out of form in handicaps. 12-race maiden and yet to trouble the judge; tailed off and PU in two starts for this yard.
4	4 |U| (4) (28/1 -12%) What's It To Ya		28 28/1(-12%)																															(4) What's It To Ya 28/1, Never threatened and finished down the field in a maiden hurdle at Naas most recently. Trainer in form and tongue-tie applied for the first time; off a short break and looks one for further down the line. Tailed off at large odds in three m'dens; appears stable second string.
10	10 |U| (10) (100/1 -257%) The Cobblers Wife		100 100/1(-257%)																															(10) The Cobblers Wife 100/1, Never threatened and finished down the field in a maiden hurdle at Tramore most recently. Usually held up and yet to find suitable conditions; looks one for further down the line. Huge odds and ran as they suggested in three maidens; may do better now in h'caps.
10th	2 10th (2) (100/1 -203%) Gangster Granny		100 100/1(-203%)																															(2) Gangster Granny 100/1, Had no chance after completely missing the break when comfortably held in a handicap at Dundalk last time. Effective over 2m and acts on G; multiple Flat winner who could do better over hurdles in handicaps. Dual-purpose; two-time Flat winner but heavy defeats over hurdles recently.
11th	9 11th (9) (16/1 -146%) Bruno From Mars		16 16/1(-146%)																															(9) Bruno From Mars 16/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 10l, in a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park last time. Effective over 2m and needs to build on that latest effort. 0-8 over hurdles but placed in last two outings; should be thereabouts again.
13	13 |PU| (13) (11/1 +73%) The Son Of Brega		11 11/1(+73%)																															(13) The Son Of Brega 11/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Navan most recently. Off a short break and needs to prove ability remains following a long lay-off. Tailed off on return from a very long absence at Navan; can only be watched.
8	8 |PU| (8) (33/1 +34%) Walkmethroughit		33 33/1(+34%)																															(8) Walkmethroughit 33/1, Up in trip and may not have stayed on his handicap debut when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Thurles last time. Cheekpieces fitted for the first time; effective around 2 1/2m and needs more in handicaps. 0-6 in points and tailed off on h'cap debut following poor m'den runs; ruled out.

A competitive affair, with James The Brave sure to be popular after his all-the-way win here. Landing a gamble on that occasion, he has been raised 5lb and could well follow up, with leading conditional Michael Kenneally again on board. For a selection, ELLIES ROCK is marginally preferred. Rated just 76, she has two solid efforts to her name since joining Terence O'Brien and after finishing second on her most recent start, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a place better. Third and sixth to Marelly at Gowran on Thyestes day, Bruno From Mars and Poets Oath are of interest, while C&D winner Johnny Cakes and Ross O'Sullivan's Driveonwill are other leading hopes.

A runner-up behind a well handicapped rival here last time, ELLIES ROCK earns the vote provided she builds on that run

1	6 1st (6) (11/1 -10%) In The Purple		11 11/1(-10%)																															(6) In The Purple 11/1, No show on handicap debut when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. From a top yard but clearly needs more. One to watch in betting now up in trip in second handicap but big step forward necessary.
2	8 2nd (8) (22/1 -38%) Ever Ready		22 22/1(-38%)																															(8) Ever Ready 22/1, Every chance, ran to form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time; effective 2m; still unexposed in handicaps. Yet to finish better than fifth but pedigree indicates this step up in trip is a good move.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/2 +82%) Kastellion		2.5 5/2(+82%)																															(3) Kastellion 5/2, Slightly better after a wind op when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster last time; trainer in form; effective at 2m4f, acts on S and GS; improvement needed but possible now handicapping. Yet to threaten over hurdles but has far more realistic claims in this first handicap.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 -43%) Hidor De Bersy		5 5/1(-43%)																															(1) Hidor De Bersy 5/1, Went clear with ease when landing a handicap by 14l off a 3lb lower mark at Wincanton last time, although he probably did not beat much. Trainer in form, off a short break, effective at 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good. The mark may still be favourable. Easily won three-runner military riders' race at Wincanton last time; high on the list.
5th	12 5th (12) (150/1 -20%) Sweet Serene		150 150/1(-20%)																															(12) Sweet Serene 150/1, Another poor run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell last time. Has since undergone a wind op and is hard to make a case for. Struggled last May-August in her first four handicaps and 8lb wrong at the weights today.
6th	7 6th (7) (9/1 +36%) Farmer Jimmy		9 9/1(+36%)																															(7) Farmer Jimmy 9/1, No show from off the pace when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective at 2m4f-3m1f and acts on soft and good. A bounce back is needed down in trip. Some good form in November/December but two lacklustre efforts have followed.
7th	11 7th (11) (11/4 +21%) Huckleberry Sting		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(11) Huckleberry Sting 11/4, Made a promising debut in points after an absence when winning a maiden point at Didmarton by 5l last time. Returning from a long layoff and effective at 3m in points. Another absence to overcome but has some potential. Showed little under rules in 2023-24 but won a point last March; has basement opening mark.
8th	9 8th (9) (14/1 +22%) Snapaudaciaheros		14 14/1(+22%)																															(9) Snapaudaciaheros 14/1, Bit below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time and is usually held up. Effective around 2m4f on a sound surface, not fully exposed but others preferred. Made the frame in all three bumpers but soundly beaten on all six hurdle starts.
9th	10 9th (10) (10/1 -11%) Ker D'oudairies		10 10/1(-11%)																															(10) Ker D'oudairies 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good to soft. Improvement is needed. Lightly raced 6yo; one to watch in market but he's not got competitive in his three h'caps.
2	2 |PU| (2) (9/1 -80%) Jaffa Cake		9 9/1(-80%)																															(2) Jaffa Cake 9/1, Improved when fourth beaten 22l in a maiden hurdle at Taunton latest; effective 2m, acts on GS and G; may improve now handicapping. Step back in right direction at Taunton last time and could build on that now handicapping.
4	4 |PU| (4) (12/1 -167%) Heaven Smart		12 12/1(-167%)																															(4) Heaven Smart 12/1, Ran to form when 7 1/4l third in a handicap chase at Musselburgh last time. Off a short break and effective at 2m4f-3m. Returns to hurdling here. Chiefly in good form over fences in autumn; 0-11 over hurdles but respected nevertheless.

Vicki Sollitt got a good tune out of HIDOR DE BERSY in a small field at Wincanton and that form probably needs treating with a degree of caution. That said, Mel Rowley's gelding is only 3lb higher and whilst a few of these have something to prove, he can cash in. Stable companion Kastellion goes handicapping for the first time and must be monitored in the betting, as must Jaffa Cake, to whom the same comments apply, and Heaven Smart isn't out of this either.

Having won a British maiden point by 5l last March, HUCKLEBERRY STING has potential off his basement opening mark.

1	4 1st (4) (10/11 +44%) Falco Des Pins		0.909091 10/11(+44%)																															(4) Falco Des Pins 10/11, Improved after a wind operation when third beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap chase at Taunton on his most recent run. This is his second start after that procedure, he is effective over 2m-2m2f and acts on soft, with French form suggesting he is capable of better. Yard back in form. Gave it a fair go from the front last time at Taunton (2m2f, heavy); should build on that.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 -14%) Count Adhemar		4 4/1(-14%)																															(2) Count Adhemar 4/1, Improved on his chase debut when beaten 7l in a handicap chase at Catterick last time. His trainer is in form, he is effective over 2-2 1/2m and should come on for that initial experience. Last to complete on chase debut, albeit under 7l off the winner.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/2 -38%) Icare Colombe		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(1) Icare Colombe 11/2, Travelled well and flattened out late having looked a big threat when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time and he is effective over 2-2 1/2m, looking to be improving over fences. Dropped to 2m1f from 2m4f he ran better to be beaten about 12l at Market Rasen.
4	7 4th (7) (17/2 -55%) Blackijo Dagrostis		8.5 17/2(-55%)																															(7) Blackijo Dagrostis 17/2, Made mistakes and was disappointing on easier ground when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Warwick last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f on a sound surface and needs to bounce back. Behind early and never involved in this new headgear combination at Warwick last time.
5th	6 5th (6) (33/1 +18%) O'grady's Hill		33 33/1(+18%)																															(6) O'grady's Hill 33/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of before finding the ground too testing when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. Effective over 2 1/2m and can do better judged on her hurdle form. Has finished tailed off in two handicap chases, on good and heavy ground.
6th	3 6th (3) (100/1 -400%) Model Approach		100 100/1(-400%)																															(3) Model Approach 100/1, Unsuited by soft ground when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time. Effective over 2m-2m2f on good ground, he has yet to deliver on the promise he showed as a juvenile over hurdles. Tailed off in all his runs for Evan Williams and he's not bred for chasing; reservations.
5	5 |F| (5) (40/1 -186%) Make Sunshine		40 40/1(-186%)																															(5) Make Sunshine 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time. Effective around 2m4f and acts on good ground, she is inconsistent but is on a fair mark based on her maiden form. 17-race maiden with a Flat background and hard to know what she'll make of fences.
8	8 |PU| (8) (11/1 0%) Jackson's Bay		11 11/1(0%)																															(8) Jackson's Bay 11/1, Had every chance but was below form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Catterick last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft, though he has been inconsistent in his short career. 0-8 over hurdles and twice disappointing since a third of six at Newton Abbot in September.

With a couple of winners on Saturday, Venetia Williams' yard has turned a corner and FALCO DES PINS can enhance his stable's strike-rate. After resuming from wind surgery with a respectable third at Taunton, this unexposed chaser can make the most of a 2lb cut in the ratings. Icare Colombe has similar scope in this sphere and rates a big danger, with first-time cheekpieces a potential source of improvement. Count Adhemar and Model Approach are the pick of the remainder.

A weak handicap. After a wind operation, FALCO DES PINS ran well enough from the front at Taunton to believe he could be the one.

With no form to go on, this is a difficult contest to assess. Representing top connections, GILI ISLAND appears the one to beat. Bought for 45,000 euros as a foal, the Crystal Ocean bay is a half-brother to Mr Incredible, an enigmatic but talented individual who filled the runner-up spot in the Midlands National of 2024. Littlebeen is the second choice, with this one a half-sister to stable companion Whatcouldhavebeen, a four-time winner who was placed at the highest level over flights. Successful with Heads Up here on Sunday, John McConnell saddles Brady Hartsfield and he is the most interesting of the remainder.

All debutants but the Cullentra representative, GILI ISLAND appeals the most on paper

Won this in 2024; return to hurdling, cheekpieces and this C&D are reasons to be positive.

ASA was edged out in a tight finish at Wetherby before winning over fences at Catterick. She's back over hurdles this afternoon and is only 5lb higher than when cruising to victory in this contest 12 months ago. Leicester scorer Queen Of Steel merits plenty of respect because she won't mind a return to 3m, while Innisfree Lass is a former winner of this too, but she was well beaten by Asa last time.

In-form Asa took this by a wide margin last year but prolific QUEEN OF STEEL will be no pushover and earns a narrow vote.

4	8 4th (8) (12/1 +25%) Broderick		12 12/1(+25%)																															(8) Broderick 12/1, Needed the run and ran well to a point when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Haydock most recent. Effective over 2m-2m5f and acts on S and G; should come on for that latest outing. Stamina not proven and ground worse than good to soft looks a problem.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 -20%) D'jo Dela Barriere		9 9/1(-20%)																															(6) D'jo Dela Barriere 9/1, Below form off a revised mark when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Hereford last time; returning from a break.

MANIGOD is still learning his trade over hurdles and could be well placed to get off the mark. His three second-placed finishes over timber so far read well in the context of this race and he steps into a handicap on a highly workable mark. Fresh Kicks is feared most, with this representing a drop in class for the Nicky Henderson-trained gelding. D'jo Dela Barriere reverts to hurdles and needs taking seriously.

This could be the day that MANIGOD gets off the mark. Fresh Kicks is preferred to The Expensive One and Name Me Nicely.

Stays 8f and acts on all-weather; should come on from that return run. 4th of 7 over C&D on handicap debut three weeks ago; up in class with improvement needed.

SILVER STATE has benefited from the application of a visor, with Jack Channon's gelding unbeaten in two starts in handicap company. He was particularly impressive at Newcastle last weekend and a 6lb penalty might not be enough to stop him from landing the hat-trick. Maria Da Silva backed up a maiden victory when returning to Newcastle and winning on her handicap debut. She is respected after a 4lb rise, while others to consider include Warning Symbol and Loma Express.

An interesting race for the grade but it is hard to escape the claims of the hat-trick seeking SILVER STATE (nap).

ATMOSPHERE won over C&D in October before hitting the frame here the following month. The four-year-old appears to have more to offer after a small break and gets the vote in what doesn't appear to be the strongest of events on paper. Midnight's Dream didn't get the clearest of runs at Newcastle and is expected to be in the mix on his first start for Joseph Parr. Tadreeb and Zoffandia can fight it out for the minor honours.

A competitive race in which BEAUTY GENERATION is taken to come out on top now headgear is back on. Baloo's Blues is next best.

Who's On First returned from a break to score at Chelmsford earlier in the month, but wasn't able to follow up under a 6lb penalty at Lingfield last Saturday. Dropping back from a mile might aid his cause, but CRIMSON RAMBLER could have his measure. George Scott's gelding has stepped forward with a couple of runner-up efforts and this might be the time to catch him. Frankali completes the shortlist.

Crimson Rambler may be the pick of those with handicap form but SEAPEARL appeals as the type to leave earlier efforts behind her.

4	3 4th (3) (13/2 -30%) Variety Act		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(3) Variety Act 13/2, Looked unenthusiastic under pressure 9 1/2l third in a maiden at Chelmsford most recent run; wide draw; effective at 7f, acts on AW; beaten favourite last time and may do better handicapping now. Good debut at Chelmsford (7f) but lesser run over 1m next time; has hung left so track a ?.
5th	6 5th (6) (40/1 -150%) Thimble		40 40/1(-150%)																															(6) Thimble 40/1, Time Test filly; dam was smart at 14f. Faces a tough enough task on debut and is likely to want trips of at least 8f. Dam a useful middle-distance winner from a good family; may be a longer-term prospect.
6th	9 6th (9) (80/1 -400%) Hurricane Ann		80 80/1(-400%)																															(9) Hurricane Ann 80/1, Produced a poor effort up in trip when comfortably held in a novice at Lingfield last time. Yet to show any measurable form and handicaps may be more his thing. Modest form in two starts three months apart; improvement essential.
7th	5 7th (5) (80/1 -400%) Pink Diamond Girl		80 80/1(-400%)																															(5) Pink Diamond Girl 80/1, Ran to her debut form, probably wanting a stronger pace at 7f, when fourth, beaten 6l, in a maiden at Lingfield last time. Bred to get at least 8f and may want further; quite small and others are fancied. Promise in two 7f runs this winter but needs a good step forward to trouble the principals.
8th	10 8th (10) (80/1 -100%) Ivat Ghia		80 80/1(-100%)																															(10) Ivat Ghia 80/1, 4,000gns Ghaiyyath filly; half-sister to Dalanijujo, useful at 10f; dam was fair at 6f at 2yo. Looks up against it on debut. 4,000gns yearling with two winning siblings; others bring stronger paper claims.
9th	7 9th (7) (66/1 -230%) Cracking Anna		66 66/1(-230%)																															(7) Cracking Anna 66/1, Made a moderate debut when well beaten in a maiden at Wolverhampton on her only start. Returning from a break; plenty more is needed and handicaps are more likely to suit. 14,000gns half-sister to six winners; pedigree suggests further will suit better in time.
10th	4 10th (4) (25/1 -79%) Nefyn Queen		25 25/1(-79%)																															(4) Nefyn Queen 25/1, 20,000gns Zoustar filly; half-sister to French 10f winner Belsianatrainer. Represents a respected yard and could have a say on debut. 20,000gns half-sister to a 1m2f winner in France; market instructive on debut.
11th	12 11th (12) (25/1 -79%) Spangle Moon		25 25/1(-79%)																															(12) Spangle Moon 25/1, 15,000gns Starspangledbanner filly; dam was an unraced half-sister to an Italian 10f winner. Trainer in form and would not need to be a star to get competitive in this. 15,000gns yearling; dam unraced sister to a winner in Italy; one of two newcomers for yard.
12th	11 12th (11) (33/1 -65%) Midnight Media		33 33/1(-65%)																															(11) Midnight Media 33/1, 1,000gns Advertise filly; half-sister to Cable Rate, fair at 5f as a 2yo; dam was very useful at 6f. Hooded on debut and others look stronger. Dam a 6f/7f winner (including AW; RPR 84); yard's newcomers usually better for a run.

Variety Act took a backward step after making a promising debut at Chelmsford and a tendency to hang has hindered his chance on both occasions. He is still one of the likelier winners, but COMIC HERO is preferred. Andrew Balding's charge went close in a couple of novice events on turf last season but was crying out for a step up in trip and, now afforded just that, he can break the maiden. Portman Blue must concede weight all round, but there were positive signs at Lingfield on his introduction.

Portman Blue made a promising start to his career but this looks a good opportunity for the returning COMIC HERO to break his duck.

1	5 1st (5) (1/5 +0%) Silent Strike		0.2 1/5(+0%)																															(5) Silent Strike 1/5, Minor late headway suggesting 7f may suit runner-up beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden at Lingfield only start; top course trainer; effective 6f, may improve for further, acts on AW; likely to go well here. Second of eight at Lingfield on last month's debut (6f); open to improvement.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/3 +58%) Caviar Cowboy		3.333333 10/3(+58%)																															(2) Caviar Cowboy 10/3, Fair effort on debut when third, beaten 7 1/2l, in a novice at Wolverhampton. Returns from a short break; effective over 7f on all-weather and a strong sort who should make normal improvement. Encouraging third at Wolverhampton on debut in December (7f); capable of better.
3	1 3rd (1) (100/1 -52%) Jubilee Time		100 100/1(-52%)																															(1) Jubilee Time 100/1, Green and missed the break, showing nothing when well beaten in a maiden at Wolverhampton on his only start. Quite speedily bred and has plenty to prove on what we have seen so far. 66-1 and offered little in a 6f maiden at Wolverhampton last month.
4	4 4th (4) (40/1 -100%) Mohmentous		40 40/1(-100%)																															(4) Mohmentous 40/1, Found little when stepped up in trip, finishing down the field in a maiden here last time. Hood fitted for the first time; bred to be a miler but has yet to show much ability. Modest form in two AW runs this winter (6f/7f); now tried in a hood.
5th	6 5th (6) (150/1 -88%) Sequential		150 150/1(-88%)																															(6) Sequential 150/1, Another poor effort when finishing down the field at Yarmouth. Yet to show any real signs of ability and hard to fancy on the evidence so far. Triple-figure prices and she made no impact in two 6f fillies' novices last month.

This would appear to concern SILENT STRIKE and Kodi Island, with the former fancied to come out on top. The Mehmas colt let favourite-backers down on his debut, but lost little in defeat by finishing second and natural improvement may well be enough. Kodi Island hasn't been seen since his Yarmouth third in July, but that form is strong in the context of this race. Caviar Cowboy also finished third on his racecourse bow and looks booked to fill that spot again.

This would seem likely to rest between Kodi Island and SILENT STRIKE. The selection looked green at Lingfield and can improve.

1	9 1st (9) (6/1 -20%) Supreme King		6 6/1(-20%)																															(9) Supreme King 6/1, Improved again when landing a handicap by a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Effective at 6f and 7f and respected despite another small rise in the weights. Won his last two but still 5lb lower than for C&D win last March; leading contender.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 +58%) Irish Nectar		7.5 15/2(+58%)																															(5) Irish Nectar 15/2, A no-show from off the pace when beaten 8l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time and now returns from a short break. Suited by 6f and on a fair mark if bouncing back, although still unproven on AW. Not shone in two runs for current stable but he drops in class today.
3	10 3rd (10) (22/1 -633%) Merrimack		22 22/1(-633%)																															(10) Merrimack 22/1, Back to form with a strong run when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time. Enjoys making the running, is suited by 5f and 6f, and can go well again. Made all over 5f at Chelmsford last month; up 5lb in a stronger race so more is needed.
4	8 4th (8) (5/1 +29%) Charlie Mason		5 5/1(+29%)																															(8) Charlie Mason 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. Effective at 5f and 6f and remains on a competitive mark. Conditions fine and he arrives in fair form; no surprise to see him involved again.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 +10%) Mission Command		9 9/1(+10%)																															(6) Mission Command 9/1, Lacked pace when dropped in trip and beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time. Effective at 5f and 6f, his mark has eased and the step back up in trip looks a plus. Good C&D run last month but lesser effort over 5f latest; change of accessories today.
6th	2 6th (2) (11/2 +61%) Shallow		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(2) Shallow 11/2, Won this race last year and did not quite see it out when beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time. Enjoys making the running and is capable off this mark. Two fair runs this year without matching her best; needs to raise game to repeat 2025 win.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 -17%) Ziggy's Condor		14 14/1(-17%)																															(7) Ziggy's Condor 14/1, Below form but with excuses when seventh and beaten 4l off 75 last time and runs from the same mark here. Has a wide draw and needs to bounce back. Newcastle win (6f) last month before lesser run at Lingfield (awkward start); can revive.
8th	3 8th (3) (15/2 +0%) Al Barez		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(3) Al Barez 15/2, Not the best of runs and should have finished closer when beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 6f and has a chance if building on that latest effort. C&D winner on a good mark; sharper for last month's return; one to consider.
9th	1 9th (1) (11/2 +50%) Powdering		5.5 11/2(+50%)																															(1) Powdering 11/2, Step back in the right direction when beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 6f and 7f and now back down to his last winning mark, which gives him a solid chance. C&D winner and on last winning mark; sharper for latest run; one to take seriously.
10th	4 10th (4) (10/1 -67%) Amazonian Dream		10 10/1(-67%)																															(4) Amazonian Dream 10/1, Ran to form when tried in cheekpieces, beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Lingfield last time. Trainer is in form, he is suited by 6f and is considered again. Strong at the finish in last two starts; fully effective over C&D; each-way claims again.
11th	12 11th (12) (40/1 -122%) Rory Rocket		40 40/1(-122%)																															(12) Rory Rocket 40/1, A bit below form when tried in cheekpieces and beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Brighton last time. Returns from a break with a wide draw and is on a fair mark if ready to roll. 0-8 but has shown winning potential; drawn wide back from a four-month break.
12th	11 12th (11) (25/1 -56%) Auric		25 25/1(-56%)																															(11) Auric 25/1, A blowout effort up in trip when comfortably held in a handicap at Yarmouth last time. Tongue-tie is applied for the first time, he has a wide draw and has a bit to prove returning from a long absence. C&D win as a 3yo; absent 632 days and drawn widest; has been gelded; now tongue tied.

ZIGGY'S CONDOR fluffed the start at Lingfield and is better judged on the strength of his previous Newcastle win. That success came in similar company and a repeat could suffice. The hat-trick seeking Supreme King only went up 2lb for scoring in a lower grade at the same venue and is capable of another bold showing. Merrimack also commands respect, but this is deeper than the 5f event he won at Chelmsford.

Plenty of possibles but AL BAREZ is handicapped to win and edges preference over the hat-trick seeking Supreme King.

1	6 1st (6) (11/2 -10%) Hamlet's Night		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(6) Hamlet's Night 11/2, Travelled strongly and was outbattled late by a classy rival when second, beaten a neck in the Elite Hurdle (Grade 2) at Wincanton latest; returning from a break. Effective around 10f, but others are favoured. Has done well over hurdles for new yard; could transfer that progress now back on the Flat.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 -35%) Solarize		4.5 9/2(-35%)																															(1) Solarize 9/2, Bit below form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time; had been in good form prior and returns from a short break. Effective over 10-12f; better than shown latest and open to further progress. Two wins last autumn before coming up short in a Class 2; still has low mileage.
3	3 3rd (3) (15/2 +38%) Son Of Man		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(3) Son Of Man 15/2, Ran to form when beaten 4 1/4l into third in a handicap here on his most recent run. Suited by 10-11f and has a fair chance in this company. Yet to add to debut win but on a handy mark and lots of form that makes him of interest.
4	2 4th (2) (20/1 -122%) Nap Hand		20 20/1(-122%)																															(2) Nap Hand 20/1, Bit below form when fourth, beaten 16l in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton latest; returning from a break. Effective at 10f on the Flat and switches codes here, but others are favoured. Fair hurdle form last summer but he returns to the Flat off a tough mark.
5th	7 5th (7) (14/1 -27%) Golden Circet		14 14/1(-27%)																															(7) Golden Circet 14/1, Travelled well back on the Flat and did his best work late when beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Effective over 8-11f and has a chance if building on that latest effort. Good third over C&D two weeks ago (after a break); competitive with a repeat.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/4 -22%) Selenic		2.75 11/4(-22%)																															(5) Selenic 11/4, Ran to form and stayed on best when landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Effective over 8-10f; a progressive filly with more to come. Course win last February; ready win at Newcastle last month; up 6lb but far from exposed.
7th	4 7th (4) (11/2 +8%) Criminal		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(4) Criminal 11/2, Bit keen but ran to form when beaten 5 1/4l into third in a handicap at Epsom most recently; returning from a break. Suited by 10-12f and looks on a competitive mark back from his absence. 0-6 but showed promise last year, including here; may do better as a 4yo.
8th	9 8th (9) (125/1 -150%) Torcello		125 125/1(-150%)																															(9) Torcello 125/1, May have needed the run when upped in trip and comfortably held in a handicap here last time. Effective over 12-16f; the veteran needs to prove he still retains his ability. Struggled in two runs last year and again on his reappearance; risky despite reduced mark.
9th	8 9th (8) (9/1 +44%) Desert Heart		9 9/1(+44%)																															(8) Desert Heart 9/1, Too keen when back from a break and beaten 5l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Effective over 7-10f and needs to settle better now upped in trip. Midfield in two 1m2f handicap runs; up in trip and not fully exposed just yet.

Having made light work of a mark of 72 at Newcastle, SELENIC could have plenty more to offer. As a half-sister to the smart Pita Pinta - a winner over 1m4f - it seems safe to assume Sir Mark Prescott's filly can continue to flourish over middle distances. Solarize faced a stiffer test when his hat-trick bid hit the buffers at Southwell, although he must be feared dropping down a couple of grades. Criminal and Son Of Man complete the shortlist.

Solarize drops in class and can go well but SELENIC is an unexposed and improving 4yo and she can follow up her Newcastle win.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
