1	1 1st (1) (15/8 -7%) Diligent Harry		1.875 15/8(-7%)																															(1) Diligent Harry 15/8, Ran to best with a good attitude to share the prize when dead-heating in the Listed Kachy Stakes here last time. Has a top course jockey, is suited by 6f and effective at 5f, and won this in 2024 so can again go well despite conceding weight all round. Smart AW sprinter; dead-heated in 6f Listed here last month; major player despite penalty.
2	2 2nd (2) (12/1 +0%) Clearpoint		12 12/1(+0%)																															(2) Clearpoint 12/1, Was a bit keen but ran to form when just denied a four-timer, beaten 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Enjoys making it, is off a short break and effective at 5f and 6f, but has a bit to find up in grade. Fast sprinter who has a good C&D record; big personal best required at this level.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/3 +39%) Democracy Dilemma		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(3) Democracy Dilemma 10/3, Below form but with excuses 1/2l third in the Conditions Race at Beverley most recent run; enjoys making it; top jockey back on board; suited by 5f, acts on any; respected for last year's winning yard. Front-runner; capable of smart form on his day; shouldn't be underestimated.
4	6 4th (6) (15/2 -114%) Leovanni		7.5 15/2(-114%)																															(6) Leovanni 15/2, Too keen, not clear run and looked after late, should have finished closer when fourth beaten 2l in Achilles Stakes (Listed) at Haydock latest; returning from long layoff; effective 5/6f on G and GF; reappears for AW debut tried in a tongue-tie, 2024 Queen Mary winner retains plenty of potential. Group 2 winner at Royal Ascot as a 2yo; promise in one run in 2025; tongue tied for return.
5th	4 5th (4) (15/8 +32%) Valiant Force		1.875 15/8(+32%)																															(4) Valiant Force 15/8, Returned to form over the minimum trip when readily winning a Conditions Race at Dundalk by 4 1/4l last time. Effective from 5f to 8f and best at sprint trips on AW, he is smart and reliable and holds a leading chance at the weights. Prolific at Dundalk and won easily over 5f a fortnight ago; third in this race last year.
6th	5 6th (5) (100/1 -257%) Golden Sickle		100 100/1(-257%)																															(5) Golden Sickle 100/1, Well below form on British debut, stopping quickly in a hood when well beaten in Kachy Stakes (Listed) here latest; best at 5f on sound surface; twice a Grade 1 runner-up in South Africa, bit to prove after latest but headgear removed. Well-beaten 66-1 shot on last month's British debut; can't recommend on the back of that.

DILIGENT HARRY dead-heated for top honours in the Kachy Stakes on his reappearance here three weeks ago and should a return to the minimum trip pose no issue, he looks primed to go in again. Valiant Force is all about speed and is sure to launch a strong challenge, while it will be interesting to see how both Leovanni and Democracy Dilemma fare in the betting following their absences.

A penalty couldn't stop DILIGENT HARRY (nap) in this race in 2024 and he looks the one to beat. Democracy Dilemma is feared most.

1	3 1st (3) (7/5 +53%) Marhaba Prince		1.4 7/5(+53%)																															(3) Marhaba Prince 7/5, Probably improved from his debut when second, beaten 6 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on heavy and soft; the form of his debut win has been franked and he is an obvious contender. Beaten odds-on favourite when second in both hurdles races; in the mix again here.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/4 -8%) Mister Ursus		1.75 7/4(-8%)																															(4) Mister Ursus 7/4, Made normal progress from his debut when second, beaten 5l, in a maiden hurdle at Leicester last time. Effective at 2m and acts on heavy and soft, and he is open to a bit more improvement. Kept on well for second at Leicester last month and probably still has potential.
4	1 4th (1) (9/2 +55%) Lipstick		4.5 9/2(+55%)																															(1) Lipstick 9/2, Produced a decent effort on his hurdling debut when beaten 8 1/4l into third in a novice hurdle at Hereford. He should stay 2m, acts on easy ground and is entitled to come on for that first run over hurdles. Belied big odds when placed on hurdle debut at Hereford; a possible.
5th	6 5th (6) (100/1 +0%) Passage Du Maure		100 100/1(+0%)																															(6) Passage Du Maure 100/1, Never put into the race when back from a layoff on his hurdle debut and was comfortably held in a novice hurdle here last time. Likely to need more time. Did not get competitive when 200-1 for soft-ground C&D novice on recent hurdle debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (50/1 +50%) Stone Cold		50 50/1(+50%)																															(7) Stone Cold 50/1, May have found the ground too testing when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton on his second start over timber. He may need further than 2m over hurdles. Showed some ability in Irish bumpers last year but soundly beaten on both hurdle starts.
7th	9 7th (9) (40/1 -60%) I Heard A Rumour		40 40/1(-60%)																															(9) I Heard A Rumour 40/1, Was beaten when departing late after not being given a hard time in a novice hurdle here on her hurdling debut. In good hands and any market move would be meaningful. A long way off the pace when unseating rider at third-last flight on hurdle debut.
8th	8 8th (8) (66/1 +0%) Yourcardismarked		66 66/1(+0%)																															(8) Yourcardismarked 66/1, Not given a hard time when comfortably held on his hurdling debut in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter. His trainer is in form but he has yet to show any worthwhile form. Struggled when 200-1 for last month's hurdling debut at Uttoxeter.
9th	10 9th (10) (250/1 -279%) Paradise Park		250 250/1(-279%)																															(10) Paradise Park 250/1, Made no show when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Taunton last time. Seemed effective at 2m and acted on soft on her only bumper start, but has yet to show any talent for hurdling. Made quite promising bumper debut but soundly beaten on both hurdling starts.

MISTER URSUS could never really make an impact on his hurdles bow but he took a step forward to chase home a nice prospect at Leicester. A similar level of performance might be enough, but he'll probably need further improvement because Marhaba Prince has been knocking at the door and French raider Mr Diafoirus adds further spice to the race.

French raider MR DIAFOIRUS has some good Flat form on his CV and is taken to make a winning hurdle debut.

Won first two races and better than result in Grade 2 at Cheltenham last time; likely type.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/4 +0%) One Horse Town		2.75 11/4(+0%)																															(1) One Horse Town 11/4, Rallied gamely, improved again when second beaten 2l in Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2) at Cheltenham latest; effective around 2m on Hy and G; has carried summer form into winter Graded events, every chance in this. Won first four hurdle races and good second to a smart type last time; in the mix again.
3	5 3rd (5) (15/2 +38%) Fantasy World		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(5) Fantasy World 15/2, Was a bit keen and well below expectations on his hurdles debut when fourth, beaten 14l, in a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh last time; effective up to 14f on the Flat where he was a progressive Listed winner, and interesting turned out again quickly over hurdles. Listed winner on Flat; disappointing on hurdling debut last Sunday; needs major step up.
4	4 4th (4) (22/1 -38%) Falls Of Acharn		22 22/1(-38%)																															(4) Falls Of Acharn 22/1, Far too free off a strong pace when beaten 4l in the Scottish Triumph Hurdle (Listed) at Musselburgh last time; effective at 2m and acts on good to soft; the yard has a good record in this, but he has plenty to find. Won on hurdling debut then raced too freely last time; Harry Cobden takes over today.

Ready winner over C&D last month; promising sort, open to plenty more progress.

PRECIOUS MAN was giving 5lb to One Horse Town when defeated by him on his seasonal/UK debut at Cheltenham in November. He built on that effort to score decisively over C&D last month and, with a pull at the weights, he is expected to reverse the Prestbury Park form. La Luna Artista (fifth) didn't run badly behind One Horse Town (second) on Trials Day, but will probably need another step forward to upset the applecart.

The progressive PRECIOUS MAN looks the one to beat, although this may not be plain sailing. La Luna Artista is second choice.

Game effort to win a steadily-run Listed event over C&D in December; improving 4yo; chance.

Chancellor was comfortably on top in the Tandridge Stakes a fortnight ago but he did hang markedly left in the last couple of furlongs, which he won't want to do on this tight track. With that in mind, preference is for the returning BOILING POINT, who defied top weight in the Cambridgeshire when last seen in September. Karl Burke's charge has stamina to prove, but a narrow defeat in the Strensall last summer would suggest he can improve for the extra distance. Nebras heads the remainder.

Chancellor and Nebras are solid for the Gosdens but don't underestimate the improving mare SKY SAFARI.

Effective from 2m to 2m4f, suited by cut and back in form of late. Made all at Navan latest, raised 10lb, competition for the lead here, career best needed.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 +14%) Linden Arden		6 6/1(+14%)																															(2) Linden Arden 6/1, Ran to form when a fortunate winner due to a late faller, landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Punchestown last time; off a short break. Effective around 2 1/2m; inconsistent and a revised mark will demand more. Won two of last three at Punchestown, up 6lb for latest, might prefer better ground.

Won over fences here in Nov', beaten twice since, ground a worry on return to hurdling.

Effective from 2m to 2m5f and acts with cut; a good mark on chase form and the drop in trip is a plus. Exploited lower hurdles mark a Galway, below par in Troytown, still 8lb below chase mark.

SPORTINTHEPARK looks well treated reverting to hurdles. A winner in this sphere at Galway in October, the Noel Meade-trained gelding was subsequently raised 6lb to 126. Although very disappointing over fences in the Troytown at Navan last time, the ground was very testing and, 8lb lower in this sphere, he can get his career back on track. Billy Lee Swagger, who made most when scoring at this venue, has to hold every chance. The hat-trick seeking Our Uncle Jack steps up in trip, but has to be respected given his rich vein of form.

A strongly run race should suit BILLY LEE SWAGGER who may be able to defy a 10lb rise for his C&D win in November

1	2 1st (2) (2/1 +27%) The Grafter		2 2/1(+27%)																															(2) The Grafter 2/1, Did it comfortably when improving from a break on chase debut, landing a handicap by 6 1/2l off an 8lb lower mark here last time. Effective over 2m and may remain well treated on hurdle form. Can follow up. Well backed when beating Spadestep on chase debut here on heavy; raised 8lb.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +56%) Spadestep		2 2/1(+56%)																															(1) Spadestep 2/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 6 1/2l, in a handicap chase here last time. Effective over 2m and suited by a sound surface; debut form has been franked and he is a consistent performer but work to do to reverse form with conqueror. Up to winning a race off this mark and stable has landed the past two renewals of this.

Off a short break; effective around 2m and acts on soft; improvement needed but possible. Things have picked up over fences the last twice but this is competitive.
4	3 4th (3) (11/1 -69%) Sleeping Satellite		11 11/1(-69%)																															(3) Sleeping Satellite 11/1, Scored by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Catterick on his penultimate start. Was taken on up front and made too much use of when third, beaten 4l off 108, last time; off a short break and effective from 2m-2m4f. Dual chase winner this season and returning to a left-handed track should suit.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/2 -10%) Always A Reason		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(4) Always A Reason 11/2, Well treated up 5lb after improving to land a handicap by a short-head off a 6lb lower mark at Catterick last time. Effective over 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft; progressive and more to come over fences. Has another 6lb to contend with but very much heading the right way; 2-2 over fences.
6th	5 6th (5) (8/1 -100%) Stick With Me Sam		8 8/1(-100%)																															(5) Stick With Me Sam 8/1, Did it comfortably, improving again when landing a handicap by 6l off an 8lb lower mark at Catterick last time. Effective over 2m and acts with cut; progressing now he has had his head in front. Shooting up the weights (raised another 8lb) but things have clicked in a big way.

Always A Reason displayed a willing attitude when holding on to complete a double at Catterick and demands respect given his unbeaten record over fences. A 6lb higher mark shouldn't prevent him from giving another good account, but STICK WITH ME SAM may prove to be slightly better treated. Tom Gretton's charge has impressed in all three victories of late and a four-timer is a distinct possibility. The Grafter is the pick of the remainder.

Competitive. SPADESTEP has time on his side to tap back into the promise he showed behind the smart Jordans Cross at Aintree.

Effective from 2 1/2m to 2 3/4m, acts on any going and is a consistent performer. 0-9 over fences but has posted some good efforts this season; respected.

Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft and soft; progressive and more to come. Scored over hurdles here in December and followed up on recent chasing debut at Doncaster.

Effective from 2m to 2 1/4m, acts on any going and is down in the weights but needs more over fences. Five-time hurdle winner; safely held in first three chases; needs to up his game here.
4	8 4th (8) (9/1 +36%) Holeshot		9 9/1(+36%)																															(8) Holeshot 9/1, Disappointing when stepped up to 3m in a handicap chase at Hereford last time, having shown promise over fences previously. Trainer is in form; effective from 2m to 2 3/4m and acts on good to soft and good to firm; a return to a shorter trip may suit. Seemed to be running well before falling two starts ago but struggled last time; risky.
5th	5 5th (5) (17/2 -42%) Jack To Bat		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(5) Jack To Bat 17/2, Showed modest form in maiden hurdles. Effective at around 2 1/2m and acts on soft and good to soft; returns from a break for his chase debut. Unexposed 7yo who showed clear promise as a novice hurdler last season; chase debut today.

Blinkers are applied for the first time on chase debut and he arrives out of form. Useful hurdler in his prime but out of form this season; chase debut today.

ANOTHER FINE MESS won over hurdles here in December and followed up at Doncaster when sent over fences for the first time. The seven-year-old is only 5lb higher and, with the likelihood of more to come, he can complete the hat-trick. Star Of Affinity won a match at Plumpton and needs to be respected, but Risk De Pluie might be a bigger threat.

A creditable second at Sandown three weeks ago, RISK DE PLUIE might open his account over fences here.

Effective from 2m-2m4f; acts on any surface, though a sounder surface may help his breathing; progressing over fences and a fast 2m4f may suit ideally.

Mares' Listed chase winner last time; now takes on male rivals but impossible to discount.

Effective at around 2m4f, acts on soft and good; trainer in form and has won this six times since 2017, so warrants respect. 5-9 over jumps; personal best when winning at Musselburgh; should be involved again.

JAX JUNIOR still holds a speculative entry in the Arkle next month. He won a handicap impressively at Sandown three weeks ago and holds every chance of landing some black-type today, especially given that he's favoured at the weights. Musselburgh scorer Go West can push the selection closest, but Jasmine Bliss did win a Listed mares' event at Huntingdon and is no back number in receipt of 2lb.

Go West represents a stable with a fine record in this race but JAX JUNIOR has stronger form and gets the verdict.

8th	6 8th (6) (50/1 -100%) Lusaka		50 50/1(-100%)																															(6) Lusaka 50/1, Ran to form despite not the best of runs when beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Suited by 13/16f; not the most straightforward and is 3lb above his last winning mark. Six turf wins but he's 0-5 on AW and has been well held at Kempton last twice.
9th	2 9th (2) (9/4 +10%) Relocal		2.25 9/4(+10%)																															(2) Relocal 9/4, Improved again when landing a handicap by a short-head off a 4lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time; trainer in form. Effective over 12/13f; not fully exposed and blinkers have been the making of him of late. Off the mark when beating a clear second at Chelmsford last month; big player again up 4lb.

Effective over 12-17f; back below his last winning mark but more needed. Disappointing since his last win in July and he needs to find more back in trip.

Usually held up; effective up to 16f; on a workable mark but his form is going the wrong way. Has struggled in both runs this winter and he needs a major revival back at this trip.

HEBRIDEAN NOMAD cruised into contention before meeting trouble here last time, so it was to his credit that he was still able to get up. A 4lb rise should be no barrier to further success and he's preferred to Relocal, who looked all about stamina when winning at Chelmsford last month. Lusaka didn't run too badly over 2m at Kempton and might do better now dropped in trip.

Most of these have something to prove and this could revolve around the two recent winners in Relocal and HEBRIDEAN NOMAD.

Effective from 2m-2m6f and acts with cut. Remains on a workable mark and could follow up. Bolted up in a weak Thurles m'den hurdle last time; in the mix on h'cap bow.
2	19 2nd (19) (14/1 +72%) Sock It To Me		14 14/1(+72%)																															(19) Sock It To Me 14/1, Disappointing up in trip when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recently.

Effective up to 3m. Dropping in trip and may do better in handicaps, but conditions are an unknown. Soundly beaten in four m'dens the worst of which came here last time; unlikely.

Effective from 2m-2m6f and suited by cut. Inconsistent but on a fair mark on his best form. Upped to 2m3f at Punchestown when third; not disregarded but others preferred.
8th	12 8th (12) (80/1 -567%) Embrace The Day		80 80/1(-567%)																															(12) Embrace The Day 80/1, Improved on his final qualifying run when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recently. Acts on heavy ground. A point winner from a top yard who may need this bit further now going handicapping. Promise in point win but modest in three maiden hurdles; may do better now in h'caps.
5	5 |U| (5) (66/1 -164%) Seeitoldya		66 66/1(-164%)																															(5) Seeitoldya 66/1, Ran to form but had too much to do when ridden to see out the trip and was comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Tramore last time.

Let down by his jumping on chase debut when pulled up in a handicap chase last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts with cut, but his jumping must improve.

Despite being raised 12lb for an emphatic win at Naas, RUN FOR COVER is taken to complete the hat-trick. Having opened her account here on her previous start, the seven-year-old adopted similar front-running tactics at the County Kildare track. As that latest race was confined to conditionals, her rider Conor Brassil was unable to claim. Now taking 3lb off, that does at least ease her burden somewhat. Blow Wind Blow has to be a leading contender on his handicap debut. An easy winner at Thurles, the Enda Bolger-trained gelding could be well treated. Shanroe Act is another with every chance in quite a competitive affair.

A deep race. MISS LIA gets the tentative nod as the form of her second at Tramore last time looks good

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 -14%) Anglers Crag		4 4/1(-14%)																															(2) Anglers Crag 4/1, Landed a handicap by 9l off an 8lb lower mark at Carlisle last time. Kept fresh since with mark in mind. Off a short break and effective up to 4m2f, acting on soft and good ground. Could build on that recent revival and took this a couple of years ago. Won this in 2024 off 4lb lower; first run for new yard was a sparkling win in November.
2	3 2nd (3) (18/1 -50%) Only The Bold		18 18/1(-50%)																															(3) Only The Bold 18/1, Outpaced and never threatened when fourth, beaten 20l, in a handicap chase at Newbury last time. Off a short break and suited by marathon trips, acting on any ground. The mark looks tough. Below form latest; pulled up both attempts at about 3m5f/3m6f, admittedly two winters back.
3	9 3rd (9) (15/2 +53%) Red Delta		7.5 15/2(+53%)																															(9) Red Delta 15/2, Did it cosily and improved up in trip when landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off an 8lb lower mark at Market Rasen last time. Off a short break and suited by 3m+. Still early days in handicaps and a marathon trip could suit. Remains ahead of mark and looks a big player for yard better known for point explots. 11lb higher than for Lincolnshire National win but he's a strong candidate for this trip.
4	4 4th (4) (15/2 +38%) Val Dancer		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(4) Val Dancer 15/2, Ran well for a long way, just tiring late, when fourth beaten 18l in a handicap chase at Lingfield last time. Trainer in form and enjoys making it. Suited by 3m+ with plenty of cut, but on a stiff mark. Former Welsh National winner has place claims. Won the 2024 Welsh National off 3lb lower; ran creditably penultimate start, not on latest.
5th	7 5th (7) (4/1 +38%) Fortunate Man		4 4/1(+38%)																															(7) Fortunate Man 4/1, Scored by 3l off a 4lb lower mark at Aintree on his penultimate start. A bit too free up in class when third, beaten 19l off 128, last time and on the same mark here. Effective over 3m-3m5f, but the mark demands more. Disappointing latest; earlier signals, including at 3m4f, make him a plausible candidate.
6th	6 6th (6) (5/1 -11%) Livin On Luco		5 5/1(-11%)																															(6) Livin On Luco 5/1, Ran to form up in trip when fourth, beaten 9 1/4l, in the Coral Welsh Grand National at Chepstow last time. Off a short break and effective from 2m5f-3m4f. Progressive but needs to be to defy this mark. Made all in Southern National; creditable fourth in the Welsh National (extended 3m6f).
7th	10 7th (10) (22/1 -267%) Knockanore		22 22/1(-267%)																															(10) Knockanore 22/1, Won this race last year off 1lb lower but was pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Newbury last time. Effective up to 4m and though out of form his mark is easing. This has looked the target all season but revival needed. Hacked up in this in 2025; well in if back to that form and stranger things have happened.
5	5 |PU| (5) (13/2 +7%) Dom Of Mary		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(5) Dom Of Mary 13/2, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark here on his penultimate start. Below form up in class when sixth, beaten 19l off 128, last time and on the same mark here. Effective over 3m-3m5f and a capable thorough stayer but unreliable. Strong-finishing win here (3m6f, good to soft) and he was also sixth in the Welsh National.
1	1 |PU| (1) (17/2 -6%) Mr Vango		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(1) Mr Vango 17/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Sandown last time. Enjoys making it and is effective over 3m2f+, needing some cut. A progressive thorough stayer until that latest run, with a good record fresh, and worth stepping back up to marathon trips. Drying ground no help here. 4m2f Midlands National winner; ran badly on latest start but this is a much better fit.
8	8 |PU| (8) (25/1 -25%) Whistle Stop Tour		25 25/1(-25%)																															(8) Whistle Stop Tour 25/1, Had no obvious excuse when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Lingfield last time. Tongue-tie fitted for the first time. Effective over 2 1/2-3m and needs some give, but his form over fences has tailed off. Wind op since latest start; tongue tied first time; 9lb below last winter's peak mark.

ANGLERS CRAG landed this race for Brian Ellison in 2024 and after making a successful debut for the Nicky Richards team when going in by nine lengths at Carlisle, he gets the vote, even though no 11-year-old has won this since 2016. Knockanore ran out a comprehensive winner 12 months ago, although he hasn't bothered the judge in six races since. Fortunate Man is another to consider stepping up to this extreme distance for the first time.

This looks competitive but LIVIN ON LUCO gets the vote ahead of Knockanore, Fortunate Man and Anglers Crag.

1	6 1st (6) (10/1 -11%) Keable		10 10/1(-11%)																															(6) Keable 10/1, Had every chance and ran to form when sixth, beaten 11l off 128, last time and is 1lb lower here. Effective over 3m and acts with cut; consistent overall but his current mark remains stiff. Respectable third to King Of The Lake here but not so good at Warwick on latest start.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/2 +27%) Gowel Road		5.5 11/2(+27%)																															(1) Gowel Road 11/2, Ran to form at a favoured venue when fourth, beaten 12l, in the Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham. Effective over 3m and acts on soft and good ground, although he may have been flattered by that Graded form. Mostly running with credit; only 2lb off career-high mark; cheekpieces off; 5lb claimer on.
3	8 3rd (8) (7/1 +13%) Ambion View		7 7/1(+13%)																															(8) Ambion View 7/1, Made mistakes and, up in trip, may not have stayed when well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time. Had been in good form prior to that; has undergone a wind operation and wears a tongue-tie for the first time, and may need a drop back in trip. Two 2nds before his heavy C&D defeat; had wind surgery since and now has tongue tied.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +58%) King Of The Lake		5 5/1(+58%)																															(5) King Of The Lake 5/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark here on his penultimate start and was running well off a stiffer mark when falling last time. Effective from 2m1f to 2m6f and acts on soft and good; in fair form but this mark demands more. C&D win at Christmas before the Lanzarote at Kempton proved too hot; each-way contender.
5th	10 5th (10) (9/4 +55%) A Perfect Day		2.25 9/4(+55%)																															(10) A Perfect Day 9/4, Scored by 4l off a 6lb lower mark at Lingfield on his penultimate start and was a bit below that level on heavy ground last time. Effective from 2m4f to 2m7f and acts on soft and good to soft; in good form and a lesser test of stamina should suit. Third in a bog last time but as a lightly raced 6yo he should retain some potential.
6th	4 6th (4) (33/1 -50%) Green Book		33 33/1(-50%)																															(4) Green Book 33/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Windsor most recently. Effective over 3m and acts on soft and good to soft; on a fair mark based on old form but needs to prove that ability remains. Achieved very little in this season's two runs since a long absence; stable back to form.
7th	9 7th (9) (8/1 -60%) Stone's Throw		8 8/1(-60%)																															(9) Stone's Throw 8/1, Improved again allowed easy lead landing a handicap by 7 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; best around 3m, probably acts on any; steadily progressive. On a hat-trick; more to prove in this field and on soft, but more to offer as a stayer.
8th	2 8th (2) (25/1 -150%) Monmiral		25 25/1(-150%)																															(2) Monmiral 25/1, Yard has won 2 of the last 9 runnings of this race. Probably needed the run back over fences on reappearance and was largely consistent over hurdles last year; trainer in form. Suited by 3m and best with plenty of give, but retains ability to prove. 2024 Pertemps Final winner; Freddie Keighley takes off 7lb on this return to a handicap.
9th	3 9th (3) (20/1 -186%) American Mike		20 20/1(-186%)																															(3) American Mike 20/1, Needed the run when beaten 15l into third in a handicap chase at Newbury on reappearance and has since had a wind operation. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and acts on yielding and heavy; player on chase form but poor on his penultimate hurdle start. Has had wind surgery since stable debut; he could still be one to be interested in.
10th	12 10th (12) (25/1 -39%) Rickety Bridge		25 25/1(-39%)																															(12) Rickety Bridge 25/1, Probably didn't handle heavy ground when pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot; stays 3m, acts on soft; trainer in form but returning from long layoff. 2nd in this last term; out of form both starts after; off 308 days and 5lb out of handicap.
7	7 |PU| (7) (13/2 -8%) Firestream		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(7) Firestream 13/2, Outstayed late when beaten 5l into third in a 3m handicap hurdle here when last seen a year ago. Probably just stays 3m and acts on soft and good to soft; may need the run after his absence. Changed hands, left A Honeyball; it may not be enough even if he returns in peak form.

This is competitive and only a tentative vote can be afforded to AMBION VIEW. Joe Tizzard's charge is still finding his feet over timber and had been running well prior to a below par C&D effort. He now sports a tongue-tie, on the back of wind surgery, and it's possible that he'll take a step forward. Others to note include Monmiral, Stone's Throw and Keable.

American Mike is intriguing, as are plenty of others, but the vote goes to STONE'S THROW.

1	1 1st (1) (7/2 +22%) Klub De Reve		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(1) Klub De Reve 7/2, Off the mark in style when winning a maiden hurdle here by 10l last time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on GS and G; C&D winner with more to offer, looked smart last time. Improving with each run and won in clearcut style over C&D on Boxing Day; solid claims.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/1 +21%) Kocktail Bleu		11 11/1(+21%)																															(6) Kocktail Bleu 11/1, Ran to form on deeper ground when second, beaten 8 1/2l, in a novice hurdle at Kelso on his latest start. Effective from 2m to 2m2f and acts on heavy and good to soft. In good form but more needed at this level. Beaten favourite at Kelso last Friday; in the mix but others appeal more for the win.
3	11 3rd (11) (2/1 +75%) Mustang Du Breuil		2 2/1(+75%)																															(11) Mustang Du Breuil 2/1, Did it comfortably on stable debut when winning a 4yo hurdle at Doncaster by 3 1/2l last time; effective 2m-2m2f on Hy and GS; more to come for top yard and of interest here as a 4yo receiving weight from most. Impressive winner at Doncaster on stable debut; still holds a Triumph entry; promising.
4	12 4th (12) (18/1 -50%) Matiwo		18 18/1(-50%)																															(12) Matiwo 18/1, Quickened clear with ease, improved dropped in class when winning a 4yo hurdle at Newbury by 7l last time; effective 2m, acts on GS and G; held in high regard and his run-style could suit this course, can go well as a 4yo in receipt of weight from all. Lightly raced 4yo; easy winner at Newbury; more improvement required but that's possible.
5th	10 5th (10) (150/1 -436%) Anariza		150 150/1(-436%)																															(10) Anariza 150/1, Ran to form but was ultimately well held up in class when beaten 13l into third in a novice hurdle at Windsor on her most recent run. Trainer in form, effective at 2m and acts on soft and good. Bit to find back up in grade. Winner/third in hood last two starts; should give running but others have more potential.
6th	2 6th (2) (17/2 +6%) Onlyforfrankie		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(2) Onlyforfrankie 17/2, Improved, aided by a late faller and leaders getting racing early, when winning a novice hurdle at Musselburgh by 4 1/4l last time. Effective at 2m on good to soft and good. Progressive and may get slightly further in time. Sprang surprise in four-runner race at Musselburgh; going the right way and not ruled out.
7th	9 7th (9) (9/1 -13%) Storming George		9 9/1(-13%)																															(9) Storming George 9/1, Travelled, hit front way too soon up in trip on handicap debut when second beaten 3/4l in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster latest; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on GS; well worth another shot at Graded level. Doncaster winner; clear of third in handicap there last time; that form sets the standard.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 -100%) Lexington Wood		28 28/1(-100%)																															(7) Lexington Wood 28/1, Travelled well and improved when second, beaten 1/2l, in a bumper at Down Royal on his latest outing. Returning from a break, effective at 2m and acts on yielding and good to yielding. Faces a tough task on hurdles debut for a new yard. 0-3 in bumpers but showed promise; has joined top stable; needs a market check.
9th	3 9th (3) (40/1 -82%) Blues Singer		40 40/1(-82%)																															(3) Blues Singer 40/1, Too free back from a layoff but ran to form when beaten 13l into third in the Introductory Hurdle at Newbury on his most recent run. Off a short break, effective at 2m and acts on decent ground. Up against it in this. Beaten 24l in this race 12 months ago; raced too freely on return; something to find.
5	5 |F| (5) (9/2 +0%) Double Measure		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(5) Double Measure 9/2, Converted an easy opening down in grade when winning a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon by 11l last time. Effective at 2m on soft and good to soft. More to come for a top yard and an obvious chance back up in grade. Easy winner at Huntingdon and gives the impression there's plenty more in the tank.
8	8 |F| (8) (20/1 -150%) Loaded And Locked		20 20/1(-150%)																															(8) Loaded And Locked 20/1, Improved back down in trip when easily winning a novice hurdle at Hereford by 2 1/2l last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on good to soft and good. Progressive and worth a crack at this better race. Point and bumper winner who scored over hurdles last month; getting better all the time.
10th	4 10th (4) (28/1 -133%) Desertmore News		28 28/1(-133%)																															(4) Desertmore News 28/1, Made a good start to life under rules, scoring with loads in hand when winning a maiden hurdle at Southwell by 13l last time. Trainer in form, effective at 2m on good to soft. Worth a shot at this higher level. Made all in canter on only hurdles outing; meets stronger opposition but could be anything.

In a wide-open renewal of this Grade 2, marginal preference is for MUSTANG DU BREUIL. Nicky Henderson's gelding won well on his debut for these connections at Doncaster earlier in the month and the four-year-old can take full advantage of his age allowance here. Desertmore News bolted up on his Rules debut at Southwell recently and should not be underestimated at this level. Double Measure did not have much to beat at Huntingdon last time but he did it very easily, while Klub De Reve and Storming George are others to note.

C&D winner Klub De Reve has solid claims but preference is for the progressive DOUBLE MEASURE, an easy winner four weeks ago.

1	1 1st (1) (7/2 +22%) Paradias		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(1) Paradias 7/2, Travelled and ran to form when beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time. Top course jockey booked; effective over 10-12f and acts on any surface. Very consistent performer. Back from layoff with two close calls this winter (1m4f/1m3f) and he's strongly respected.
2	6 2nd (6) (1/1 +56%) Respond		1 1/1(+56%)																															(6) Respond 1/1, Bit keen up in trip, still ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at Newmarket last time; trainer in form; returning from a break; progressive at 10f, seems to stay 12f, on sound surface; form of maiden win franked, can remain competitive in handicaps. Haydock winner who made solid start in handicaps in the autumn; interesting on his return.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 -43%) Towerlands		10 10/1(-43%)																															(7) Towerlands 10/1, Improved again up in trip and was strong at the finish when landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time. Top course trainer; effective over 7-10f and likely to go well again if settling up in trip. Four wins since October but this is a big step up in grade and he's untried at this trip.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 -100%) Nolton Cross		16 16/1(-100%)																															(3) Nolton Cross 16/1, Ran to form on return from a long absence, good attitude landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 12f, acts on sound surface, best on AW; competitive mark still but has to avoid bounce. Back from almost two years off with a win at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; respected up 3lb.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 +20%) Night Breeze		16 16/1(+20%)																															(5) Night Breeze 16/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recently. Enjoys making it and is effective over 10-12f. Consistent in the summer but not at his best in two starts this year. Five-time turf winner but he's 0-8 on AW and has struggled in both runs this winter.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/3 +0%) Ammes		3.333333 10/3(+0%)																															(4) Ammes 10/3, Bit free, mistakes, conceded first run but ran to form pulling clear of remainder when second beaten 3/4l in Wensleydale Juvenile Hurdle (Listed) at Wetherby latest; returning from a break; effective 10-14f on Flat on sound surface; potentially got a few pounds in hand back on the Flat. Second in a Listed hurdle event when last seen in October; needs a close look on return.
7th	2 7th (2) (50/1 -213%) Shadow Dance		50 50/1(-213%)																															(2) Shadow Dance 50/1, Below form when down in trip and may have needed the run on stable debut, beaten 6l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Effective over 12f-14f and acts on AW; generally consistent for most of his career and should come for that latest outing. Lightly raced 6yo who was well held on his stable/AW debut last month; others preferred.

Nolton Cross won on his first start for almost two years at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and if he improves for the race, he is a force to reckon with. Paradias has been unlucky recently, beaten a neck when second at Wolverhampton and the same distance into third at Kempton, but an added 1lb may mean another place and a chance is taken on TOWERLANDS. Upped in trip after running on well to score at Wolverhampton, he sits on bottom weight and could surprise.

This is competitive but NOLTON CROSS was a game winner on his comeback at Wolverhampton and he gets the vote ahead of Ammes.

1	7 1st (7) (7/2 +0%) Grangeclare West		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(7) Grangeclare West 7/2, Yard has won the last three runnings of this race; well beaten in the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup (Grade 1) at Leopardstown latest. Effective up to 4m2f and has shown he retains all of his ability; the National is likely the target but Grade 1 winner is a class angle here. Grand National third is suited by weightings and chosen by Townend but ground a question.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/1 +50%) Gerri Colombe		8 8/1(+50%)																															(6) Gerri Colombe 8/1, Winner of five Grade 1s; 19l third in the Galmoy Hurdle (Grade 2) at Gowran Park on his most recent run. Trainer in form and effective over 3m; former Grade 1 winner running into form after a lay-off but needs to prove he is as good as he was. Should be competitive at this level. Five-time Grade 1 winner was PU on return from long absence; third over hurdles last time.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 -9%) Stellar Story		12 12/1(-9%)																															(2) Stellar Story 12/1, Outclassed and well beaten in the Savills Chase (Grade 1) at Leopardstown latest; trainer in form and tongue-tie fitted for the first time. Effective over 2m4f-3m1f; generally consistent at Graded level and could be of interest in a top staying handicap in the spring but outside claims here. Well beaten in Gr.1s this season; should relish the ground but race conditions don't suit.
4	4 4th (4) (6/1 +20%) Answer To Kayf		6 6/1(+20%)																															(4) Answer To Kayf 6/1, Ran to form off a revised mark and set it up for a closer when fourth, beaten 20l, in the Thyestes Handicap Chase (Grade 3) at Gowran Park latest. Effective over 2 1/2-3m; in form and not fully exposed as a stayer so rates a threat. Won the Troytown on reappearance and ran well in the Theyestes before fading.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/2 +8%) Captain Cody		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(5) Captain Cody 11/2, Yard has won the last three runnings of this race; fell in the Thyestes Handicap Chase (Grade 3) at Gowran Park latest. Effective over 3-4m; hugely progressive last term and should build on his latest completed start. Favourite to land Theyestes last time when fell; likes the track and has ability.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/1 +61%) Intense Raffles		11 11/1(+61%)																															(8) Intense Raffles 11/1, Pulled up in the Thyestes Handicap Chase (Grade 3) at Gowran Park latest; enjoys making it. Effective over 3-3 1/2m; out of form but does like this venue and testing ground. Best efforts have come at this track inc' 2024 Irish National; poor efforts this season.
7th	10 7th (10) (3/1 +40%) Three Card Brag		3 3/1(+40%)																															(10) Three Card Brag 3/1, Game and ran to form when second, beaten 6 1/2l, in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury latest, suited by positive tactics in a race dominated from the front. Trainer in form; suited by 3m+ and his mark is probably about right. Outside claims in strong contest for level. Performed well in 3m+ h'cap chases this season, winning at Cheltenham; player.
8th	1 8th (1) (22/1 -83%) Lecky Watson		22 22/1(-83%)																															(1) Lecky Watson 22/1, Yard has won the last three runnings of this race; pulled up in the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup (Grade 1) at Leopardstown latest. Effective over 2m4f-3m1f; a Grade 1 winner as a novice but more is needed in open company. Brown Advisory winner has not been involved in three Gr.1 runs this season; up against it.
9	9 |PU| (9) (9/1 -100%) Spanish Harlem		9 9/1(-100%)																															(9) Spanish Harlem 9/1, Yard has won the last three runnings of this race; unseated in the Thyestes Handicap Chase (Grade 3) at Gowran Park latest when looking the winner. Suited by decent ground and a strong stayer over 3m+; generally a solid handicapper. Kerry National winner looked set for victory before UR at final flight in Theyestes.

All of these hold Grand National entries and the last two renewals have been won by horses who followed up in the big race at Aintree. Having shown signs of life over hurdles at Gowran last time, a chance is taken that GERRI COLOMBE retains enough ability to land this prize. A five-time Grade 1 winner and second in the 2024 Gold Cup, the 10-year-old missed a year through injury and will have benefited from his first completed start of the season. Jack Kennedy prefers Three Card Brag to the selection and his mount has been in fine form in handicaps, while last year's Grand National third Grangeclare West is the stable-selected from Willie Mullins' quartet.

Favourite to win the Theyestes, CAPTAIN CODY fell at the fifth, but he has ability and has run well in both starts at this track

1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +20%) The Gray Ghost		4 4/1(+20%)																															(3) The Gray Ghost 4/1, Ran to form when just flattening out late up in trip having raced freely, finishing fourth beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Effective at 2m-2m4f on good to soft and good, in form and may need this drop in trip. Something to prove over quite this sharp a trip but definite chance if copes with it.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/1 +42%) The Hatchet		7 7/1(+42%)																															(8) The Hatchet 7/1, Had every chance but was below form up in trip on handicap debut when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Had been in good form prior, effective at 2m on soft and good to soft, still early days and on a fair mark based on his debut win. Handicap debut was underwhelming but that was over 2m4f and perhaps this is his trip.
3	2 3rd (2) (13/2 -8%) Saracen Beau		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(2) Saracen Beau 13/2, Badly hampered when closing yet still ran to form up in trip on chase debut, finishing second beaten 6l in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee last time. That form franked at Listed level. Returning from a break, effective at 2m-2m4f on good to soft and good, back hurdling and can go well off lenient mark. Second on chase debut in October; back with Nicky Richards and returned to hurdling.
4	5 4th (5) (22/1 -38%) Fromheretoeternity		22 22/1(-38%)																															(5) Fromheretoeternity 22/1, Needed the run but was not disgraced when fourth beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Effective at 2m on soft and good, ultra-consistent and should come on for that latest effort. Beaten about 10l into fourth last time at Sedgefield and this is no easier.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 +20%) Baratablet		4 4/1(+20%)																															(1) Baratablet 4/1, Scored by 4l off a 7lb lower mark here on his penultimate start. Ran to form when just flattening out late up in trip, finishing fourth beaten 5 1/2l off 120 last time off the same mark; effective at 2 1/2m to 3m on good to soft and progressive, though the handicapper may have caught up. 3-6 over hurdles; better than he showed at Kelso latest but surprising to see him at 2m1f.
6th	7 6th (7) (16/1 +0%) Cormier		16 16/1(+0%)																															(7) Cormier 16/1, Outpaced but ran to current form when fourth beaten 20l in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time. Off a short break and effective at 2m, though he may not quite be the force of old over jumps. It's been hard work back over hurdles, albeit in a pair of Class 2 handicaps.
7th	9 7th (9) (11/1 +8%) Party In The Park		11 11/1(+8%)																															(9) Party In The Park 11/1, Improved a little when beaten 5l in a novice hurdle at Carlisle last time. Effective around 2m1f on a sound surface and a type to do better now handicapping. Has shown enough in his hurdle races to believe he can make a mark in handicaps.
8th	4 8th (4) (3/1 -71%) Seaview Rock		3 3/1(-71%)																															(4) Seaview Rock 3/1, Improved for a cosy victory when winning a maiden hurdle at Leicester by 5l last time. Effective at 2m and acts with cut, with more to come for a top yard but handicapper hasn't missed him. Unexposed maiden winner; hard to assess and the market could be instructive.
9th	6 9th (6) (9/1 +36%) That One		9 9/1(+36%)																															(6) That One 9/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time. Had been in good form prior, effective around 2m on soft and good, and consistent. Dual winner; only sixth at Carlisle latest and this is a stronger race than that day.

Saracen Beau has returned to the Nicky Richards yard via Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore, and switches back to hurdles after a six-length second over fences at Bangor. A mark of 120 seems fair and he could prove the biggest danger to SEAVIEW ROCK. Two races over hurdles have seen a novice second and a pushed-out maiden win, both at Leicester, with the likelihood of plenty of improvement to come. That One is also considered.

The suggestion is SARACEN BEAU on his return to hurdles and having his first run back with Nicky Richards.

Effective at 2m-2m4f; consistent but stamina to prove. Improving chaser with a sporting chance of seeing out this longer trip; on a good mark.
2	5 2nd (5) (14/1 -100%) The Doyen Chief		14 14/1(-100%)																															(5) The Doyen Chief 14/1, All but fell early before improving to land a Coral 'Pipped-At-The-Post' Payouts Handicap Chase (GBB Race) by a neck off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 3m; progressive but does nothing in front. Only 1lb higher than for recent C&D success and the second ran well last weekend.
3	12 3rd (12) (6/1 +25%) Kdeux Saint Fray		6 6/1(+25%)																															(12) Kdeux Saint Fray 6/1, Bit keen, short of room at key stage, outpaced, too much to do then flew home when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap chase at Cheltenham latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S and G; progressing over fences and this longer trip could unlock improvement. Improving first-season novice who looks ready for this first crack at 3m.
4	8 4th (8) (66/1 -164%) Gustavian		66 66/1(-164%)																															(8) Gustavian 66/1, Made mistakes and raced too close to a strong pace when beaten 2l off this mark at Sandown last time. Effective at 3m; poor strike-rate but remains competitively weighted. Admirable veteran who is bang in form but faces competition for the lead.
5th	3 5th (3) (22/1 -83%) Soul Icon		22 22/1(-83%)																															(3) Soul Icon 22/1, Outpaced but ran to form, just about seeing out the longer trip when beaten 2l off this mark here last time. Enjoys making it; effective from 2m-3m; consistent but frustrating. Only 2l off The Doyen Chief over C&D last time but he's probably better at shorter trips.
6th	9 6th (9) (7/1 +0%) Hoe Joly Smoke		7 7/1(+0%)																															(9) Hoe Joly Smoke 7/1, Flattened out up the hill after racing freely when beaten 10l in the December Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Cheltenham last time. In good form prior; cheekpieces first time; off a short break and can have a say. Running well at Cheltenham; now in cheekpieces and both chase wins were right handed.
7th	13 7th (13) (17/2 +29%) Rising Dust		8.5 17/2(+29%)																															(13) Rising Dust 17/2, Did it cosily and improved again at a favoured venue, suited by a positive ride down in trip when landing a handicap by 3/4l off an 11lb lower mark at Thurles last time. Trainer in form; progressive but this new mark asks more. Irish raider on a roll; he's up in grade but Sean Bowen rides off a feather weight.
8th	7 8th (7) (5/1 +0%) Katate Dori		5 5/1(+0%)																															(7) Katate Dori 5/1, Won this last year; beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Cheltenham last time; off a short-break; effective 3m, acts on any; back in form but 11lb higher than 12 months ago. 11lb higher than for last year's win but got back on track with a 2nd at Cheltenham latest.
9th	2 9th (2) (20/1 -43%) Henry's Friend		20 20/1(-43%)																															(2) Henry's Friend 20/1, Made too much use of on a quick return when beaten 5l in the Silver Cup Handicap Chase at Ascot last time. Off a short break; effective over 3m-3m2f on soft and good; excuses latest run and could bounce back. Front-runner; 2lb above last winning mark but others in here are probably better in.
10th	4 10th (4) (18/1 -100%) Deep Cave		18 18/1(-100%)																															(4) Deep Cave 18/1, Never jumped or travelled when fifth, beaten 14l off 141 last time, and runs off the same mark here. Stays 3m1f well; progressive over fences until that latest effort and needs to bounce back. Never turned up at Doncaster last time but very progressive prior to that; on a good mark.
11th	10 11th (10) (11/2 +45%) Chance Another One		5.5 11/2(+45%)																															(10) Chance Another One 11/2, Unsuited by drop in trip when 12th beaten 39l off 130 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 2m-3m, acts on any but suited by G; good C&D winner in November, not ruled out back up in trip. C&D winner in November (7lb lower) and subsequent defeats have been at about 2m.
12th	1 12th (1) (40/1 -233%) Boombawn		40 40/1(-233%)																															(1) Boombawn 40/1, Bit keen, unsuited by soft ground, not given a hard time well beaten in Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase at Cheltenham latest; best at 2m-2m4f on S and G; generally consistent, runner-up in Pendil at last year's meeting. Has the class to feature with Harry Atkins taking off 7lb; wouldn't want soft ground.
11	11 |PU| (11) (14/1 +13%) Leader In The Park		14 14/1(+13%)																															(11) Leader In The Park 14/1, Taken on up front and did plenty early before tiring after a bad late error when second, beaten 24l, in a handicap chase here last time. Enjoys making it; effective at 2m4f-2m6f and generally consistent. Got competitive too far out when a remote second to Lookaway here last time; can do better.

Hoe Joly Smoke has been running well in defeat in competitive handicaps this season and is likely to be in the mix once again. That said, preference is for KATATE DORI, who bolted up in this race 12 months ago. Sam Thomas' gelding is 11lb higher now, but his close second at Cheltenham last time shows that he can be successful off this sort of mark. Leader In The Park edges out Kdeux Saint Fray and The Doyen Chief to be next best.

The 8yo HOE JOLY SMOKE has been running well this season at Cheltenham and returning to a right-handed track should benefit.

1	4 1st (4) (5/2 +67%) Western General		2.5 5/2(+67%)																															(4) Western General 5/2, Keen and did plenty early when fourth, beaten 18l, in a handicap chase here last time and may not have stayed. Effective at 2m and best with cut, but his mark looks stiff. Did well last season (three wins) but yet to hit top gear this term (three runs).
2	6 2nd (6) (9/2 +10%) Jaipaletemps		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(6) Jaipaletemps 9/2, Scored by 5 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Taunton on his penultimate start but never jumped or travelled off a revised mark last time, with the race perhaps coming too soon. Effective from 2m to 2m4f, suited by cut, and had been progressive for his new yard. Flopped last time but has won four chases this season; may still be on the upgrade.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/4 +55%) Dr T J Eckleburg		1.25 5/4(+55%)																															(5) Dr T J Eckleburg 5/4, Won this race last year and was outpaced with too much to do when beaten 5l into third in a handicap chase at Sandown on his most recent run. Usually held up, suited by 2m with cut, and the handicapper is relenting after hinting at better last time. Won this in 2025 and returns here after commendable third at Sandown last month.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 +8%) Harper's Brook		6 6/1(+8%)																															(3) Harper's Brook 6/1, Produced his best form for nearly a year on his penultimate start but found nil again in a handicap chase at Doncaster last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good, though he is tricky to win with and has enthusiasm concerns. Quirky customer; on good mark now but seemingly on the downgrade; others are much safer.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 -25%) Petit Tonnerre		10 10/1(-25%)																															(2) Petit Tonnerre 10/1, Up in trip to 2 1/2m and did not stay in a handicap chase at Kempton last time. Effective at 2m on decent ground and likely has spring targets. Beat big field at Punchestown festival last spring but looked out of sorts the last twice.

DR T J ECKLEBURG won this last year for Evan Williams and showed signs of a return to his best when a five-length third at Sandown off this mark last month. Rated 5lb higher last season, he looks to have every chance of retaining his crown under Conor Ring. Jaipaletemps failed in his hat-trick bid after a bad mistake at Uttoxeter but would be a player again with a clear round, though Martator was going well before unseating at Sandown and could prove the biggest danger.

Last year's winner DR T J ECKLEBURG (nap) did well to finish third at Sandown last month and remains well handicapped.

1	5 1st (5) (4/1 -60%) Rokathir		4 4/1(-60%)																															(5) Rokathir 4/1, Went clear with ease and improved from his debut up in trip, jumping much better when winning a handicap chase at Navan by 22l last time; effective at 3m, suited by testing ground; an unexposed chaser who could remain ahead of his mark. Blew the field apart upped to 3m for h'cap chase debut; up 15lb but was impressive.
2	9 2nd (9) (8/1 +76%) Maxi Mac Gold		8 8/1(+76%)																															(9) Maxi Mac Gold 8/1, Outpaced early and needed the run when well beaten in a beginners chase at Leopardstown latest; off a short break; effective at 3m, acts on soft and good; should come on for that run. M'den hurdle winner hasn't set the world alight in three beginners'; may do better now.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/4 +64%) Nelson County		1.25 5/4(+64%)																															(4) Nelson County 5/4, Went clear comfortably and improved for his debut experience when winning a novice chase here by 14l last time; effective from 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; progressing over fences. Hurdles form suggests this test on bottomless ground could bring out more. Fav' for easy novice chase win here last time on second start over fences; can go well.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 +38%) No Time To Wait		10 10/1(+38%)																															(1) No Time To Wait 10/1, Never threatened and was poorly placed to challenge when down the field in the Paddy Power Handicap Chase (Listed) at Leopardstown most recently; off a short break; effective at 3m, acts on good to soft and good; still a maiden over fences. Bumper/hurdle winner; UR in Troytown; finished 13l behind in Paddy Power; others preferred.

Dual hurdles winner has shown poor form over fences; 29l behind in a h'cap last time.
6th	2 6th (2) (16/1 +27%) Chigorin		16 16/1(+27%)																															(2) Chigorin 16/1, Pulled up in the Irish Stallion Farms Novice Handicap Chase Final (Listed) at Navan latest; returning from a long layoff; effective from 2m5f-3m, acts on soft and heavy; yet to build on his promising debut and needs more to defy this mark, though he likes the track. Chase form to date just okay; unseen since PU at Navan in March and stable second string.
7th	7 7th (7) (18/1 +10%) Castle Field Boy		18 18/1(+10%)																															(7) Castle Field Boy 18/1, May have wanted easier ground when comfortably held in a novice chase here last time; suited by 3m on testing ground; this mark demands more.

Point/m'den hurdle winner ran past beaten rivals for third in a beginners' last time.

Three of these were easy winners last time out and it will be a surprise if one of the trio doesn't emerge victorious. NELSON COUNTY, a winning three-miler over hurdles, made short work of his rivals at this venue last month on just his second start over fences. From the family of Irish Grand National winner Our Duke, he may improve for this step up in trip and more testing ground is unlikely to be a negative for him. On his first completed start over fences, Rokathir came home clear over 3m at Navan and looks a leading player despite a 15lb rise in his rating, while ready Punchestown winner Showurappreciation is another for the shortlist.

This can go to one of the three easy winners last time, with NELSON COUNTY (nap) getting the vote for what should be a stamina test

6	6 (6) (9/1 +0%) Ghaiyyath Deer		9 9/1(+0%)																															(6) Ghaiyyath Deer 9/1, Steady late headway from well back and some promise on debut beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden at Dundalk on debut; since left Dermot Weld; middle-distance bred; type to make marked improvement. Last month's Dundalk debut (10.6f) wasn't without hope; not discounted on stable debut.
4	4 (4) (20/1 -122%) Dakota Breeze		20 20/1(-122%)																															(4) Dakota Breeze 20/1, Pulled hard and then ran green under pressure when comfortably held in a novice at Southwell last time; wide draw. Effective at 7f and may get further; big colt who has looked mentally immature so far. Some promise in his two starts this year but improvement essential if he is to take this.
3	3 (3) (33/1 +0%) Bennyworth		33 33/1(+0%)																															(3) Bennyworth 33/1, Outpaced down in trip and tried in cheekpieces when beaten 5l in a maiden at Newcastle last time. Big colt who remains open to improvement but is more likely to develop into a handicap type. RPR of 61 in two runs this year; sold 11,000gns since latest; up in trip with more needed.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -525%) Bellini Spirit		50 50/1(-525%)																															(9) Bellini Spirit 50/1, Was a bit keen but improved on a moderate debut down in trip when second, beaten 3l, in a maiden at Chelmsford last time. Returning from a break; effective at 6f on AW and needs to settle up 2f in trip on stable debut. Second at Chelmsford (6f) last October before 10,000gns sale; has to prove stamina for 1m.
1	1 (1) (100/1 -100%) Naval Tribute		100 100/1(-100%)																															(1) Naval Tribute 100/1, Never threatened and was disappointing on his second start when comfortably held in a maiden at Kempton last time; should get at least 10f on the Flat. Useful in bumpers and looks a likely type for handicaps. Second in three bumpers in early 2025; no impact in two 1m Kempton maidens this year.
10	10 (10) (200/1 -203%) Pangbourne		200 200/1(-203%)																															(10) Pangbourne 200/1, Improved from her debut when up a fraction in trip and beaten 6 1/4l in a novice at Wolverhampton last time. Stays 9f, middle-distance bred and acts on AW; probably improve again when handicapping. Unplaced in two runs last month; minor handicaps more suitable after this.

The market may prove the best guide with so little form to work with and if EL NAY is supported, it might be worth taking the hint. A gelded son of Palace Pier out of a Frankel mare, if he lives up to his genes, he has every chance. Bellini Spirit arguably has the best form after finishing second at Chelmsford in October, with the third winning since, while Sin City is a newcomer of interest.

This looks ripe for a newcomer to come out on top. EL NAY is narrowly preferred to Sin City but the betting should be revealing.

5	5 (5) (5/2 +50%) Josh The Boss		2.5 5/2(+50%)																															(5) Josh The Boss 5/2, Won by 11l off a 7lb lower mark at Doncaster three starts ago; taken on up front and made too much use of when sixth, beaten 22l off 133 last time, now 1lb lower. Effective at 2 1/2m and a bold jumper who was progressive over fences until latest. Can bounce back on favourable drying ground. First go at 3m did not work out in a Grade 3 handicap four weeks ago; of renewed interest.
6	6 (6) (3/1 -20%) Sunnyvilla		3 3/1(-20%)																															(6) Sunnyvilla 3/1, Jumped boldly, travelled well and improved again when suited by a positive ride to land a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time. Enjoys making it and may still be competitively weighted with longer trip no issue judged on old Irish form. 11yo, a zestful front-runner in recent campaigns; 2-5 for this yard but they were over 2m.
2	2 (2) (9/2 +25%) Peaky Boy		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(2) Peaky Boy 9/2, Made mistakes and was below form on stable debut when outclassed, beaten 88l into third in the Reynoldstown Novices' Chase (Grade 2) at Ascot last time; returning from a long layoff. Effective at 2 1/2-3m; unexposed but this mark demands more and he may just need this. It's hard to know what to expect (market may guide) but he has Cheltenham entries.
3	3 (3) (9/2 +44%) Prairie Wolf		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(3) Prairie Wolf 9/2, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Aintree on his penultimate start; made too much use of when up in class and finished ninth, beaten 37l off 135 last time, now 1lb lower. Effective at 2 1/2m and was back in form after a wind operation until latest. Won on Boxing Day; ran poorly at Cheltenham latest start but in the mix if bouncing back.
8	8 (8) (13/2 -44%) My Noble Lord		6.5 13/2(-44%)																															(8) My Noble Lord 13/2, Travelled strongly and improved for the step up in trip, benefitting from a patient ride off a strong pace to win a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time. Effective at 2-2 1/2m; consistent and unexposed at 2 1/2m. 5yo who won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) four weeks ago; up 4lb but probably has more to give.
7	7 (7) (10/1 +29%) Primoz		10 10/1(+29%)																															(7) Primoz 10/1, Well held off a big weight when comfortably beaten in a handicap chase at Haydock last time; off a short break. Effective at 2m and his form has been in and out. Won two small-field chases; well handicapped were he to revive, but not proven beyond 2m1f.
1	1 (1) (80/1 -142%) Minella Crooner		80 80/1(-142%)																															(1) Minella Crooner 80/1, Again well below form when well beaten in the Pat Taaffe Handicap Chase (Listed) at Punchestown last time; returning from a long layoff. Best around 3m with plenty of cut; not the force of old and has left Gordon Elliott. Right out of form in his last three starts; left Gordon Elliott for £10,000 last May.

Bottom-weight My Noble Lord built on a couple of relatively promising efforts to score at Uttoxeter and has the scope to progress further, but a chance can be taken on PRAIRIE WOLF. The nine-year-old was successful at Aintree on Boxing Day and will find this easier than the premier handicap he contested at Cheltenham next time, where he was perhaps out of his depth. Sunnyvilla might not be far away either.

Peaky Boy cannot be passed over comfortably but MY NOBLE LORD (nap) appeals most, ahead of Josh The Boss.

5	5 (5) (9/4 +44%) Califet En Vol		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(5) Califet En Vol 9/4, Travelled well but flattened out up the hill after bad errors and was poorly placed in a race dominated from the front when beaten 7l in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time. Trainer in form, effective 2m3f-3m1f on a sound surface and a classy novice hurdler with much more to come over fences when brushing up on jumping. Running well on handicap debut latest before a mistake two out halted his momentum.
8	8 (8) (3/1 +14%) Javert Allen		3 3/1(+14%)																															(8) Javert Allen 3/1, Made a bit too much use of when 10l third in the Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase at Cheltenham on his most recent run. Effective from 2m-2m5f, acts on soft and good, consistent in his efforts and his mark is probably about right. Free-going front-runner; faded into third on soft at Cheltenham latest but still ran well.
3	3 (3) (7/2 +46%) Viroflay		3.5 7/2(+46%)																															(3) Viroflay 7/2, Game and well treated off an unchanged mark, ran to form at a favoured venue when landing a handicap by 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time. Off a short break, effective 2m4f-3m, needs decent ground and remains fairly treated on hunter chase form. Front-runner who won over 3m latest; can go well for a long way back at 2m4f.
2	2 (2) (7/2 -40%) Bad		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(2) Bad 7/2, Won this race last year and ran to form when benefitting from a pace collapse, beaten 2l off this mark at Ascot last time. Effective from 2m2f-2m4f, suited by a sound surface and 19lb higher than 12 months ago. Ran on too late in the day when second at Ascot; 3-3 here, including this race last year.
1	1 (1) (16/1 -167%) Etalon		16 16/1(-167%)																															(1) Etalon 16/1, Taken on up front and made a bit too much use of when stepped up in trip, still ran to form when third at Ascot last time. Effective from 2m-2m5f, acts on heavy and good to soft, and in career best form of late. Aggressive rides in cheekpieces have got him back on track the last twice; respected.
6	6 (6) (22/1 -83%) Loughderg Rocco		22 22/1(-83%)																															(6) Loughderg Rocco 22/1, Jumped well and was suited by positive tactics down in trip when winning a novice chase at Leicester by 12l last time. Effective 2m4f-3m on good to soft and good, but has a huge absence to overcome having previously looked promising. Beat a notable horse in his novice chase but that was in 2022 and off since.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +0%) Es Perfecto		25 25/1(+0%)																															(7) Es Perfecto 25/1, Made mistakes and did not find much when down the field in the December Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Cheltenham on his most recent start. Off a short break, effective 2m4f-2m6f on soft and good to soft, and his mark probably remains stiff enough. Has the form to feature and this is easier than two high-profile handicaps at Cheltenham.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -257%) Shakeyatailfeather		50 50/1(-257%)																															(9) Shakeyatailfeather 50/1, Outclassed and unsuited by soft ground when comfortably held in the Lady Protectress Mares' Chase (Listed) at Huntingdon last time. Usually held up, effective 2m-2m4f on decent ground and looks high enough in the weights. On a tempting mark with Harry Atkins taking off 7lb if she was on her game.
4	4 (4) (100/1 -257%) Riskintheground		100 100/1(-257%)																															(4) Riskintheground 100/1, Did not stay on unsuitably testing ground when fourth, beaten 52l, in the Denman Chase (Grade 2) at Newbury last time. Effective around 2m4f and may not stay further, acts on good to soft and good, and only just above his last winning mark. Four quiet runs since winning an intermediate chase at Newton Abbot in October.

Olive Nicholls and Viroflay have struck up a great partnership and were rewarded for their consistency with a 3m triumph at the Christmas meeting here. They should give another bold sight from the front, but CALIFET EN VOL could be better treated. Sent off favourite for an Aintree Grade 1 hurdle less than a year ago, Nicky Henderson's seven-year-old hasn't lived up to expectations over fences yet, but he has been set some stiff assignments and the experience he is gathering can help him fulfil his potential. The enigmatic Bad is 19lb higher than when winning this last year, but reversed Ascot form with Etalon when eventually putting his best foot forward there last month. Javert Allen enters the equation as well.

With a strong pace on the cards this might set up nicely for CALIFET EN VOL who has made a bright start to his chase career.

5	5 (5) (3/1 +40%) Doctors Hill		3 3/1(+40%)																															(5) Doctors Hill 3/1, Returned to form down in trip and class when beaten 2 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Newbury last time; effective over 2m, acts on soft and good; in fair form but the new mark demands more. C&D novice winner in November; returns here after good second in Newbury handicap.
8	8 (8) (10/3 +17%) Razzle Dazzle Boy		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(8) Razzle Dazzle Boy 10/3, Improved again when handling testing ground to land a handicap by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Leicester last time; effective over 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on any ground; consistent, form franked and remains competitive. Close second over C&D in December and went one better at Leicester last month.
4	4 (4) (8/1 -100%) Vol Royale		8 8/1(-100%)																															(4) Vol Royale 8/1, Improved to defy a penalty, suited by a positive ride at a sharp track when winning a novice hurdle at Hereford by 3/4l last time; trainer in form; suited by 2m, acts on soft and good; steadily progressing over hurdles. Bids for hat-trick after twice making all in novice company at Hereford.
1	1 (1) (17/2 +15%) Glynn Brae		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(1) Glynn Brae 17/2, Scored off a 2lb lower mark at Sandown two starts back and had excuses (tactics, trip) since; enjoys making it; effective over 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on any ground; mark easing and dangerous at a price. Battled well to score on seasonal debut but two disappointing runs have followed.
9	9 (9) (10/1 +29%) Aeroplane Blonde		10 10/1(+29%)																															(9) Aeroplane Blonde 10/1, Flattened out late having briefly threatened in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time; best effort when beaten 7l off a 2lb higher mark the previous start; tongue-tie first time; effective over 2m, acts on soft and good; bigger effort in him. 0-5 over hurdles but both his handicap runs were very encouraging.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -380%) Double Oban		16 16/1(-380%)																															(3) Double Oban 16/1, Improved again when scoring with a bit in hand in a handicap by 5 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Leicester last time; effective over 2m, acts on any ground but best with cut; progressive since fitted with cheekpieces. Kept on stoutly to beat three rivals at Leicester in December; now 5-10 over hurdles.
2	2 (2) (16/1 -14%) L'astroboy		16 16/1(-14%)																															(2) L'astroboy 16/1, Not given a hard time when unsuited by the way the race developed in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time; effective over 2m, acts on soft; thrown in on 2023 Graded form but unlikely to retain that ability. Back from mammoth absence with two low-key runs this season; revival needed.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -50%) Ito Ditto		33 33/1(-50%)																															(7) Ito Ditto 33/1, Back from nearly a year off and probably needed the run when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time; enjoys making it; off another short break; effective over 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on heavy and good to soft; ability to prove. Lightly raced and very disappointing since progressive campaign in 2023-24.

L'astroboy was off the track from March 2023 to December 2025 and, although yet to recapture his best, two races this season might see him returning to his peak. Vol Royale makes his handicap debut after winning a maiden and a novice on his last two starts and he has to be considered, but GLYNN BRAE is preferred. Down in class after struggling in better races, he won a similar contest at Sandown in November off 2lb lower and gets on well with jockey Toby McCain-Mitchell.

The suggestion is C&D novice winner DOCTORS HILL, who ran well in defeat in a Newbury handicap last month.

Unplaced in m'dens and beginners'; promise in h'cap chase debut last time; tongue tie on.
15	15 (15) (9/2 +72%) Shanroe Nelson		4.5 9/2(+72%)																															(15) Shanroe Nelson 9/2, Improved on recent form under a positive ride when a 9l third in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective from 2-2 1/2m but has yet to prove he is up to this mark. Moderate form but run here last time was his best; lightly raced 7yo makes chasing debut.
14	14 (14) (5/1 +23%) Duce Bigalow		5 5/1(+23%)																															(14) Duce Bigalow 5/1, Improved for the step up in trip when second, beaten 6l, in a handicap chase at Navan last time; effective over 2 1/2-3m and improving over fences at a lowly level. Second when upped to 3m for first time latest; clear of the third that day; big player.
8	8 (8) (15/2 -50%) Aine's Lad		7.5 15/2(-50%)																															(8) Aine's Lad 15/2, Did it easily and built on a recent revival when landing a handicap by 9l off a 9lb lower mark at Thurles last time; effective from 2-3m, acts on heavy and good ground; back in form and may have a bit more to offer now he has his head in front switched to fences. Breakthrough at 14th attempt last time with easy win; up 9lb for chase debut; may go well.
12	12 (12) (12/1 +0%) Smackwater Jack		12 12/1(+0%)																															(12) Smackwater Jack 12/1, Outpaced and below form but did see out the trip well when fourth, beaten 26l, in a handicap chase at Navan last time; effective over 2 1/2-3m and acts on any ground; very well treated on old form but inconsistent of late. Dual winning hurdler made no impression in two recent chase starts; likes better ground.
1	1 (1) (14/1 +44%) Jerk		14 14/1(+44%)																															(1) Jerk 14/1, Never travelled and possibly did not handle the track and ground, which may have been on the quick side, when down the field in a beginners chase at Down Royal last time; effective up to 3m, acts well with cut and was in fair form prior to that. Conditions will be ideal judged on hurdle form and opening mark looks lenient. Heavy ground h'cap hurdle winner in 2024; makes h'cap chase bow now and ground suits.
10	10 (10) (14/1 -180%) Decimation		14 14/1(-180%)																															(10) Decimation 14/1, Ran to his best when tried in blinkers, beaten 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Limerick last time; returns from a short break; effective from 2m4f-3m and best with cut; inconsistent but has a chance if building on that effort; strike rate is a concern. Knocking on door in h'cap chases; mark is low compared to what it used to be over hurdles.
7	7 (7) (14/1 -75%) One Horse Army		14 14/1(-75%)																															(7) One Horse Army 14/1, Had every chance but was below form when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time; wants 3m+ and acts on soft; a staying chaser who has been struggling over hurdles of late. 2-7 over fences inc' here in Jan' last year; reverts to chasing after no success hurdling.
5	5 (5) (25/1 -178%) Mighty Oak Lad		25 25/1(-178%)																															(5) Mighty Oak Lad 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Navan last time; effective over 2 1/2-3m and suited by cut in the ground; should come on for that latest run. Good runs in defeat over fences last season; poor return from a year off last time when PU.
11	11 (11) (28/1 -180%) Lovely Reaction		28 28/1(-180%)																															(11) Lovely Reaction 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Punchestown last time; effective over 2 1/2m and acts on any ground; inconsistent since a lay-off and her jumping has been an issue. Dual winning hurdler has been poor since return from long absence; best watched for now.
4	4 (4) (28/1 -12%) Clonmeen		28 28/1(-12%)																															(4) Clonmeen 28/1, Ran to his current level when down the field in a handicap chase at Limerick last time; returns from a short break; effective up to 3m and acts on heavy ground; now down in the weights but his form has been in and out of late. Point and chase winner; nice seasonal return in Oct' but way below that in 4 runs since.
9	9 (9) (33/1 -65%) Shantou Show		33 33/1(-65%)																															(9) Shantou Show 33/1, Well held by less exposed rivals when comfortably beaten in a handicap chase at Down Royal last time; effective around 2m6f and acts on good ground; probably flattered by his hunter form. No success since two hunter chase wins in 2023; tailed off last time.
3	3 (3) (66/1 -100%) Justabitofyours		66 66/1(-100%)																															(3) Justabitofyours 66/1, Put up a modest effort when beaten 6l in the Challenge Race at Punchestown last time; effective around 2m4f but others look better equipped for this test. M'den was well beaten in last three starts over summer; best watched.

A low weight will be an advantage in the conditions for NOTIMELIKEDPRESENT, who shaped with some promise in his first handicap chase at Tramore. He kept on without landing a blow on that occasion and this extra two furlongs, along with the addition of a tongue-tie, might produce an improved performance. Duce Bigalow was clear of the remainder when runner-up over 3m at Navan and has a top conditional on board. Aines Lad has improved over timber lately and runs off his revised hurdles rating on this chase debut. One Horse Army won over a longer trip here last year and showed a bit of spark over hurdles two starts back.

Upped to 3m for the first time at Navan, DUCE BIGALOW gave a nice performance when runner-up and well clear of third. He's a big player

2	2 (2) (5/2 +29%) Antiquity		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(2) Antiquity 5/2, Best work late up slightly in trip beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective around 8f, acts on G and AW; can again go well after small rise. C&D winner; comes here on the back of two good second-place finishes; contender.
7	7 (7) (11/4 +21%) Ardaddy		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(7) Ardaddy 11/4, Did his best work late when beaten a length off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Significant jockey booking and has a wide draw. Effective at 6/7f and is running back into form. Placed on last three starts (including stable debut on Monday); stamina for 1m not assured.
10	10 (10) (4/1 +50%) Sold Out		4 4/1(+50%)																															(10) Sold Out 4/1, Improved down in grade and scored with a bit in hand when winning a classified race at Newcastle by 2 1/4l last time. Effective around 8f and can again go well now back in handicap company. Good front-running effort at Newcastle on Sunday (1m); respected back in handicap.
4	4 (4) (5/1 +17%) Poke The Bear		5 5/1(+17%)																															(4) Poke The Bear 5/1, Never in it after a slow start seventh beaten 6 1/4l off 60 last time, 2lb higher here; usually held up; wide draw; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; excuses latest but now 2lb higher. Three course wins this winter; not at best last time but return to this track can help.
8	8 (8) (9/1 -20%) Danehill Star		9 9/1(-20%)																															(8) Danehill Star 9/1, Bit wide but showed a good attitude and was back to his best when landing a handicap by a length off a 2lb lower mark here last time. Drop in trip looks fine and yard has a strong record at the course. Well placed in tactical 1m2f event here a fortnight ago; up 2lb and others look stronger.
6	6 (6) (18/1 -157%) Phyllis Burton		18 18/1(-157%)																															(6) Phyllis Burton 18/1, Made too much use of and probably did not stay when comfortably held in a maiden at Chelmsford last time. Top course jockey booked and effective at 8f on this surface, but has gone the wrong way since her debut. Promise over C&D on debut; well beaten over 1m2f twice after; interesting h'cap debutante.
5	5 (5) (22/1 -57%) Dodging The Bullet		22 22/1(-57%)																															(5) Dodging The Bullet 22/1, Way too keen and found little when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 8f on this surface, is dropping in the weights but needs more to be competitive. No better than midfield in 2 course handicaps last month; down 7lb but needs to raise game.
3	3 (3) (40/1 +0%) Kev		40 40/1(+0%)																															(3) Kev 40/1, Another poor run when finishing down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recently. Effective at 7f but has plenty to prove on current form. Dropping down the weights but two handicap runs this winter have yielded heavy defeats.
9	9 (9) (66/1 -136%) Hopjes		66 66/1(-136%)																															(9) Hopjes 66/1, Again ran to a pretty moderate level when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Blinkers are applied for the first time and he stays 10f, but has enough to prove at present. Minor form in two handicap runs last month; new blinkers not enough to tempt.

ANTIQUITY was only beaten a neck into second over an extended mile at Wolverhampton, which followed another runner-up effort over C&D. The four-year-old is clearly well enough handicapped to win a race of this nature and he edges out Ardaddy to be the pick. The latter has also been running well in defeat of late, while recent classified stakes winner Sold Out completes the shortlist.

Sold Out comes into the reckoning but preference is for ANTIQUITY, who has been knocking at the door.

5	5 (5) (2/5 +73%) Sattam		0.4 2/5(+73%)																															(5) Sattam 2/5, Went clear with ease and improved when landing a handicap by 15l off a 7lb lower mark at Musselburgh last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m. In form and appears well treated under a penalty. Tough to beat. Convincing winner at Musselburgh on Sunday and looks well in under a penalty.
2	2 (2) (6/1 -71%) Justlikefire		6 6/1(-71%)																															(2) Justlikefire 6/1, Improved when beaten 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time. Off a short break and effective at 2m, acting on soft and good. Inconsistent and needs to build on that latest effort. Lightly raced for his age; good second at Uttoxeter in November; stronger claims than most.
4	4 (4) (13/2 -86%) She's Notjoeking		6.5 13/2(-86%)																															(4) She's Notjoeking 13/2, Had every chance but was below form when fourth beaten 15l in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time. Off a short break and effective from 2m to 2m4f, acting on heavy and good to soft. Found form again. Just 1-12 over hurdles and lost two places late on when fourth at Kelso; more required.
1	1 (1) (12/1 -71%) Supreme Shot		12 12/1(-71%)																															(1) Supreme Shot 12/1, Not given a hard time on his final qualifying run when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Catterick last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft. Improvement is needed and he may get a bit further in time. Yet to make the frame in five starts but has shown signs of ability; handicap debut.
7	7 (7) (14/1 0%) Kellie's Dream		14 14/1(0%)																															(7) Kellie's Dream 14/1, Did not find much having raced freely and jumped poorly when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time. Off a short break and effective around 2m, acting on soft and good to soft. Out of form since her move from Ireland. Last win came off 10lb higher but she seems to have been going through the motions of late.
3	3 (3) (33/1 -175%) My My My Delilah		33 33/1(-175%)																															(3) My My My Delilah 33/1, Green and made mistakes when below form on her handicap debut, finishing fourth beaten 42l in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good but has yet to match her bumper form and needs more in handicaps. Beaten long way on handicap debut at Sedgefield and has something to prove.
6	6 (6) (33/1 -136%) Elusive Warrior		33 33/1(-136%)																															(6) Elusive Warrior 33/1, Improved but just flattened out late when third beaten 27l in a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh on his most recent run. Trainer in form and off a short break. Effective at 2 1/2m and needs to build on that now handicapping. Beaten at least 27l all starts; needs recent wind op to have had a transformative effect.

A confident vote goes to SATTAM, who came clear to record an impressive victory at Musselburgh last weekend. A 7lb penalty shouldn't be enough to stop Dianne Sayer's lightly-raced hurdler, especially because a few of these have something to prove. Justlikefire clearly benefited from a drop in trip at Uttoxeter and is probably the biggest threat, although Supreme Shot needs to be monitored in the betting ahead of his handicap bow.

A convincing winner at Musselburgh last weekend, SATTAM looks well in under a penalty and may well follow up.

Beat 11 opponents handsomely at Aintree in November, quickening; may well follow up.

Cosy winner at Hereford in December, pulling clear with runner-up; one more to consider.

Shaped nicely when third at Huntingdon last February; that form has worked out quite well.
5	5 (5) (10/1 +64%) Jambon		10 10/1(+64%)																															(5) Jambon 10/1, Every chance when fell last in a maiden at Turtulla latest; off a short-break; effective at 3m in points; brings plenty of potential to rules racing.

MERLIN ALLEN produced a sparkling performance on his introduction at Aintree, winning as he liked, and the runner-up has since acquitted himself well in Listed company to give the form some gravitas. Jane Williams has a smart prospect on her hands but there are bright prospects in opposition, not least Le Roi Remi, who laughed at his Sandown rivals. Smile John Boy beat Ma Wang Des Bois at Hereford before disappointing at Warwick, while Rattlin Home struck between the flags in Ireland and now represents the Skeltons.

Point winner Rattlin Home is respected but the vote goes to MERLIN ALLEN, a smooth debut winner at Aintree in a fast time.

Clear second to a next-time-out winner on handicap debut; commands respect.

8	8 (8) (7/1 +42%) Somethingtosomeone		7 7/1(+42%)																															(8) Somethingtosomeone 7/1, Poor on her last two starts over fences, having been in good form over hurdles beforehand. Visor is fitted for the first time, suited by 2m to 2 1/2m and probably acts on soft and good, a threat if returning to form over smaller obstacles. Chasing has not gone to plan but she reverts to hurdling on a good mark; interesting.
3	3 (3) (15/2 +17%) Feet On The Ground		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(3) Feet On The Ground 15/2, Made her move too soon in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time, with a similar scenario the start before when a good second. Tongue-tie is applied for the first time and she is effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on soft and good. Runner-up twice in late 2025 but ran poorly last time and is now 0-9 over hurdles.
9	9 (9) (8/1 +20%) Rest Is The Best		8 8/1(+20%)																															(9) Rest Is The Best 8/1, Improved for the step up in trip but had too much to do after a series of errors when beaten 2l off this mark here last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time, effective at 2 1/2m with all runs on soft. Kept on well for close fourth over C&D on handicap debut; cheekpieces added today.
2	2 (2) (9/1 +0%) Golden Millie		9 9/1(+0%)																															(2) Golden Millie 9/1, Ran about to her usual form in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton when last seen in April 2024 and has since had a wind operation. All runs have been at 2m, acts on heavy and good to soft, and showed promise before a long absence. Absent since two low-key maiden runs in spring 2024; with new trainer for handicap debut.
11	11 (11) (14/1 +30%) Nobody Told Me		14 14/1(+30%)																															(11) Nobody Told Me 14/1, Probably ran to form when stepped up in trip in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time. Visor is applied for the first time but he has yet to show any reliable form over hurdles. 0-9 over hurdles and needs to be perked up by today's change of headgear.
4	4 (4) (18/1 -100%) Getaway With You		18 18/1(-100%)																															(4) Getaway With You 18/1, Scored by 7 1/2l off a 9lb lower mark at Lingfield in December; raced solo on worst ground last time; 1lb lower here; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on heavy and good to soft; steadily progressive until latest. Won three in a row in November/December but handicapper looks in charge now.
12	12 (12) (28/1 +15%) Half Pint Daisy		28 28/1(+15%)																															(12) Half Pint Daisy 28/1, Never jumped or travelled and did not handle the track when beaten in a handicap hurdle at Warwick last time. Has looked a tricky ride. Struggled to get competitive when 50-1 for last month's handicap debut at Warwick.
7	7 (7) (40/1 -344%) Edna E Mode		40 40/1(-344%)																															(7) Edna E Mode 40/1, Ran to form but flattened out late at a stiff track when fourth, beaten 9l, in a handicap hurdle at Worcester in May 2025. Effective around 2 1/2m on good to soft and good, trainer in form but returning from a long layoff. In good form when last seen last spring but probably wants better ground than this.
10	10 (10) (80/1 -100%) El Arco		80 80/1(-100%)																															(10) El Arco 80/1, Keen and green, made mistakes and produced a poor effort when stepped up in trip on handicap debut. Tongue-tie is fitted for the first time and he is impossible to fancy. Well beaten 80-1 shot when upped to 2m4f for handicap debut in December.
5	5 (5) (100/1 -733%) Kings Order		100 100/1(-733%)																															(5) Kings Order 100/1, His only half-decent effort came in a 3m point on good ground. Has everything to prove now switched to racing under rules. Yet to show anything more than minor promise over hurdles; makes handicap debut today.

Having finished a good second behind a subsequent winner on his handicap bow at Uttoxeter, it's difficult to look beyond THORGATH. A 4lb higher mark may prove to be on the lenient side for Tom Lacey's charge and compensation could be imminent. Although Somethingtosomeone hasn't cut much ice since being switched to chasing, better is expected reverting to this discipline. She may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Don't Tell Rosie.

There is probably still more to come from THORGATH, who bumped into a fellow improver when clear second on last month's handicap debut.

3	3 (3) (4/9 +33%) Look Me		0.444444 4/9(+33%)																															(3) Look Me 4/9, The yard won this race last year. A very promising debut runner-up, beaten 1/2l in a bumper here on his only start; returning from a long layoff, effective over 2m and acts on soft, with that form since franked in a Grade 3 over hurdles, and a player if fit. Off since fine C&D second last April, very much respected on first run for Willie Mullins.
2	2 (2) (9/4 -29%) Detroit Maverick		2.25 9/4(-29%)																															(2) Detroit Maverick 9/4, The yard has won 4 of the last 10 runnings of this race. Very promising on debut when second, beaten 3/4l in a bumper here, just out-battled late by a more experienced rival; effective over 2m, acts on yielding and is a point winner with more to come under rules. Point winner, fine second over C&D last month, could go one place better here.
1	1 (1) (25/1 -56%) Bois D'angos		25 25/1(-56%)																															(1) Bois D'angos 25/1, Fell in a maiden point before race developed at Farmaclaffley latest and now returns from a long layoff. The yard can get bumper winners and the market can guide. Under pressure and 10l behind when falling in sole point, may need this run, watch.
4	4 (4) (50/1 -150%) Thenavvybank		50 50/1(-150%)																															(4) Thenavvybank 50/1, Mildly promising on debut when well beaten in a bumper at Navan on his only start. Effective over 2m and acts on soft; that debut form looks strong and he could progress a little. 18.5l fifth of 8 on debut in a Navan bumper last month, much more needed here.

A 45,000-euro purchase at three, LOOK ME handled testing conditions well when narrowly beaten in a valuable sales bumper here last April. The form of that race has taken a few knocks in the interim but the five-year-old, by the same sire as Kargese, is still taken to make a winning start for Willie Mullins having been in the care of Stuart Crawford last term. Point-to-point winner Detroit Maverick was second to a Mullins inmate on Rules debut here last month and is the obvious danger, but the champion trainer will have had a guide as to what is required to defeat that rival. A fair fifth at Navan, Thenavvybank may prove best of the rest.

This looks a match between Look Me (off since April) and DETROIT MAVERICK and the latter can make his fitness edge count

5	5 (5) (6/5 +82%) Madman		1.2 6/5(+82%)																															(5) Madman 6/5, A fraction below form up in trip when fifth beaten 2l off 61 last time, same mark here; suited by 6f; return to 6f will be beneficial. Kempton win last month franked; perhaps stretched by 7f latest; each-way shout.
7	7 (7) (4/1 +78%) Mister Moet		4 4/1(+78%)																															(7) Mister Moet 4/1, Probably did a fraction too much in front when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; suited by 6f; not the most convincing in a finish but form is fairly consistent. Down in the weights but likely to remain vulnerable to less-exposed rivals.
8	8 (8) (5/1 +44%) Rosieisme Darling		5 5/1(+44%)																															(8) Rosieisme Darling 5/1, Ran to form when second beaten 4 1/4l off 56 last time, same mark here; probably best at 5f, stays 6f, acts on AW; in good form, chance once again. In good order since handicapping this winter but she will need a career best to take this.
6	6 (6) (11/2 +69%) Laser Luck		5.5 11/2(+69%)																															(6) Laser Luck 11/2, Didn't stay up in trip when down the field in a novice at Kempton on her most recent start; returning from a break; effective at 6/7f. Makes handicap/stable debut after four months off; not bred to sprint but best run over 6f.
4	4 (4) (11/1 +56%) Runamara		11 11/1(+56%)																															(4) Runamara 11/1, Probably just needed the run off a break when beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 6f; lost form of late. Bath maiden win for former yard but little impact in handicaps since; enough to prove.
9	9 (9) (16/1 +36%) Real Gold		16 16/1(+36%)																															(9) Real Gold 16/1, Had every chance and appeared to run to form when beaten 6l into third in a handicap here on her most recent run; effective at 6f, acts on AW; mark may be a little stiff. 0-8; dropping down the weights but others appeal more for win purposes.
3	3 (3) (40/1 0%) Denby's Dream		40 40/1(0%)																															(3) Denby's Dream 40/1, Off a break and didn't stay when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; hood first time; effective at 6f; drop in trip a plus. Hood could help her settle but recent stable/handicap debut needs bettering.

MARRA DONNA has been beaten by less than a length on both of his third-placed efforts this month and Ollie Sangster's unexposed gelding has been found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. Corniche Girl has also been running well in defeat of late and could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Rosieisme Darling and Real Gold.

With the form of his win at Kempton last month having worked out well, MADMAN earns the vote now back down to 6f.

2	2 (2) (8/13 +59%) Bande Organisee		0.615385 8/13(+59%)																															(2) Bande Organisee 8/13, Promising bumper debut when a length third here in November.

Hooj looked set to go close but for falling at the second-last obstacle in his sole point-to-point run in December and market confidence on his Rules bow would be interesting. Regardless, BANDE ORGANISEE boasts a solid third over C&D 92 days ago and that experience could prove decisive. Venetia Williams' fortunes have changed of late, so Boum Town Rosy is also worth a second look in the betting on her racecourse debut.

Third in what has turned out to be a good course bumper in November, BANDE ORGANISEE is probably the one to beat.

Effective over 10-12f; in fine form and may complete a hat-trick. Improver who completed a double over C&D 13 days ago; big player again off only 2lb higher.
6	6 (6) (13/2 +41%) Arth's Gold		6.5 13/2(+41%)																															(6) Arth's Gold 13/2, Did not last home despite a drop in trip when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time.

5	5 (5) (15/2 -67%) Alazwar		7.5 15/2(-67%)																															(5) Alazwar 15/2, Best work late up in trip, ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; enjoys making it; returning from a break; effective 7-10f, acts on any; chance if building on recent revival. Runner-up at Wolverhampton in October and has claims if he can pick up where he left off.
4	4 (4) (17/2 +23%) Annexation		8.5 17/2(+23%)																															(4) Annexation 17/2, Again bit below best beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; effective around 10f, acts on GS, GF and AW; handicapper relenting but needs more.

Went close at Lingfield (1m) last Saturday but he still has stamina to prove at this trip.

There are none in better form than HARLINGTON, who supplemented last month's Lingfield triumph with a cosy C&D win. A further 2lb rise may well underestimate Charlie Clover's five-year-old and he is expected to complete the hat-trick. Gennadius was reeled in late on at Lingfield last Saturday but he won't go down without a fight, especially because first-time cheekpieces could elicit some improvement. Alazwar returns from 138 days on the sidelines and is far from out of it.

This can go to the progressive HARLINGTON who made it 2-3 for his current yard when scoring over C&D 13 days ago.

Has won three of his last four starts including at Southwell ten days ago; key player.
7	7 (7) (3/1 +75%) Spendmore Lane		3 3/1(+75%)																															(7) Spendmore Lane 3/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time.

Best at 5f and effective at 6f on all-weather; a bounce back is required. On dangerous mark but he's been well held in last three runs and needs to raise his game.

Papa Don't Preach finished third to SHALAA ASKER (winner) at Southwell recently and is now 7lb better off. Despite that and the fact he did not get the best of runs, more will be needed if he's to exact his revenge. Charlie Wallis has his eight-year-old in fine fettle and whilst kept to this level he is hard to oppose. Dark Side Prince was last seen beating the selection over C&D in October and is not out of it on his return.

Top of the list is SHALAA ASKER who has won three of his last four starts, including a comfortable success at Southwell ten days ago.

Enjoys making it and is suited by 5/6f; this new mark asks more of him but he arrives in fine form. Good course record and won well at Newcastle last time; up in class but not ruled out.
4	4 (4) (4/1 +27%) Michaela's Boy		4 4/1(+27%)																															(4) Michaela's Boy 4/1, Ran to form second beaten a neck off 85 last time, 1lb higher here; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; can be competitive again over C&D he likes.

Cosy win at Lingfield three weeks ago; 2lb rise not beyond him; leading contender.
1	1 (1) (13/2 -30%) Albasheer		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(1) Albasheer 13/2, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off a 4lb higher mark at Newcastle last time and returns from a long absence. Effective over 5/6f and given a chance by the handicapper back from that lengthy break. High-class sprint handicapper on his day; good mark if ready to roll after 416-day absence.
2	2 (2) (9/1 -38%) Accrual		9 9/1(-38%)																															(2) Accrual 9/1, Below form and did not get home when comfortably held in the Listed Kachy Stakes last time after stepping back up in trip and grade. Enjoys making it, is effective over 5/6f and acts on AW; respected back in a handicap. Tough task last time and improving rapidly beforehand; should be in the thick of it.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +0%) The Thames Boatman		9 9/1(+0%)																															(7) The Thames Boatman 9/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 2l off 83 last time and competes off the same mark here. Effective over 5/6f, acts on any surface and remains fairly handicapped, so can go well. Goes well over C&D but finished behind two of today's rivals at Lingfield last month.
9	9 (9) (20/1 -100%) Moulin Booj		20 20/1(-100%)																															(9) Moulin Booj 20/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Yarmouth last time. Suited by 5f and acts on any surface; has a chance if ready to roll after a break. Conditions no problem but this is a stronger race than he usually contests.
5	5 (5) (28/1 -12%) Mr Lightside		28 28/1(-12%)																															(5) Mr Lightside 28/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recently. Wears a visor for the first time, has a wide draw and is effective over 5/6f; on a reduced mark but has been nearer last than first of late. Should be well treated but made a low-key return and gelded one day later; now visored.

Albasheer has won similar races previously, but he hasn't been seen in over a year and with the burden of top-weight, he might have to settle for a place. Mr Lightside sports a first-time visor having been gelded recently and is handicapped to go well providing that combination has a positive effect, but FIDELIUS gets the nod. He made all to win at Lingfield last time out and although in deeper now, Jack Callan's 5lb claim could be crucial.

Twilight Fun is up in class but won well at Newcastle last time. ATOMIC FORCE (nap) also won last time and is preferred.

Effective over 6/7f; bounce back needed and the drop to 6f may suit. Went off the boil in three runs for Gemma Tutty and makes stable debut for sixth trainer..
1	1 (1) (10/3 +39%) Twirler		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(1) Twirler 10/3, Lot to do and ran to form up in trip landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Kempton last time; trainer in form; suited by 6/7f, acts on any except soft; in good form and can go well again. Recorded her third AW win at Kempton (7f) ten days ago, coming from last to first..
2	2 (2) (10/3 -67%) King David		3.333333 10/3(-67%)																															(2) King David 10/3, Ran to form beaten a neck off this mark here last time; effective over 7/8f on AW; on a losing run but this first try at sprinting is an interesting move. 1-19, but only beaten a neck here over 7f 13 days ago; drops back in trip..
5	5 (5) (11/2 +0%) Invincible Melody		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(5) Invincible Melody 11/2, Ran to form up in trip when beaten a short-head off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Top course trainer; back in form of late and holds a chance in this. 0-19 but finished runner-up for the seventh time at Wolverhampton (7f) 12 days ago..
3	3 (3) (17/2 -55%) Insuspense		8.5 17/2(-55%)																															(3) Insuspense 17/2, Ran to form when beaten 1/2l off this mark at Southwell last time; wide draw.

Effective over 5-7f and could bounce back. Free-running exuberant sort who landed his second AW success at Southwell in October..
8	8 (8) (14/1 -17%) Man On A Mission		14 14/1(-17%)																															(8) Man On A Mission 14/1, Ran to form and did his best work late when beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; wide draw. Effective at 5/6f on AW and has a chance if building on that recent revival. Ran his best race for a while when runner-up over C&D 13 days ago..
6	6 (6) (14/1 -115%) Sir Rodneyredblood		14 14/1(-115%)																															(6) Sir Rodneyredblood 14/1, Didn't get home back up in trip off a new mark when fifth, beaten 4 1/2l off 59 last time, and is 2lb lower here. Effective over 5/6f; inconsistent but capable. Prolific winner who recorded his ninth course success (6f) last month off 4lb lower..
9	9 (9) (40/1 -150%) Conquest Of Power		40 40/1(-150%)																															(9) Conquest Of Power 40/1, No-show from off the pace when beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Kempton last time. Effective over 6-8f; plenty to prove. Has shown little since winning at Newcastle around this time last year off 7lb higher..

Having regained the winning thread over 7f at Kempton recently, Twirler must enter calculations in her current vein of form. However, a return to 6f coupled with a 2lb rise could leave the five-year-old vulnerable, and INSUSPENSE is taken to capitalise. Oliver Cole's filly found only a subsequent winner too strong at Southwell last time out and she makes plenty of appeal from an unchanged mark. King David is a feasible alternative.

An open contest and it could pay to give INVINCIBLE MELODY another chance to break his duck. He has most to fear from Insuspense.

5	5 (5) (8/13 +75%) Denver Doll		0.615385 8/13(+75%)																															(5) Denver Doll 8/13, Had too much to do but finished very well when a promising third, beaten 3 1/2l, in a novice at Wolverhampton on debut; has a wide draw; effective over 7f and acts on AW; a nice type who should rate a good bit higher. Caught the eye when running on well for third on debut at Wolverhampton (7f) last month..
2	2 (2) (3/1 -20%) Welljudged		3 3/1(-20%)																															(2) Welljudged 3/1, Bit keen again and below form when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; had been in good form prior and trainer is in form; effective over 7-9f and acts on AW; better than shown and now down in trip back in a maiden. A beaten favourite for the third time on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month..
1	1 (1) (9/2 -13%) Bee My Honey		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(1) Bee My Honey 9/2, Bit below form on handicap debut when fourth, beaten 5 1/4l, in a handicap at Kempton last time and may have needed the run; effective over 6/7f and acts on AW; small but should come on for that latest run back in a maiden. She should be sharper following her fourth on her handicap debut at Kempton last month..
9	9 (9) (18/1 -157%) Zoulette		18 18/1(-157%)																															(9) Zoulette 18/1, Zoustar filly; half-sister to modest maiden Ventura Empress; dam was a maiden who finished runner-up over 6f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Stable amongst the winners recently and a market watch is advised on racecourse debut..
4	4 (4) (33/1 -175%) Catwalk Chat		33 33/1(-175%)																															(4) Catwalk Chat 33/1, Green and showed little on debut when well beaten in a maiden here on her only start; cheekpieces are applied for the first time; returning from a long layoff and has a wide draw, so she is difficult to fancy. Showed little when last of 12 in maiden over C&D (14-1) last June..
7	7 (7) (40/1 -371%) Love Love Love		40 40/1(-371%)																															(7) Love Love Love 40/1, Bit below expectations off a long break when comfortably held in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; entitled to come on for that return run but it may be handicaps that see her at her best. Has pulled too hard on both starts, latest when fifth at Wolverhampton eight days ago..
8	8 (8) (50/1 -213%) Made In Normandie		50 50/1(-213%)																															(8) Made In Normandie 50/1, Fair debut, albeit well beaten, in a novice at Newmarket (July) on her only start; bred for at least 7f and is surely capable of better this season. Beat only one home on debut when sixth at Newmarket in June..
3	3 (3) (80/1 -21%) Where's The Picnic		80 80/1(-21%)																															(3) Where's The Picnic 80/1, Forced wide from a poor draw and ran green when well beaten in a maiden at Kempton on her only start; absent for a very lengthy period since and has plenty to do. Absent since soundly beaten in 7f maiden at Kempton in August 2024..
6	6 (6) (150/1 -200%) Lady Of Clover		150 150/1(-200%)																															(6) Lady Of Clover 150/1, Never showed much off a break when well beaten in a novice here last time; has yet to show much overall and looks more of a handicap type. Has shown little in two starts and needs to show improvement..

This may be dominated by two of the four-year-old's in Bee My Honey and WELLJUDGED, with marginal preference for the latter. Roger Varian's filly was a touch too keen when finishing fifth on her handicap bow over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last month, so reverting to 7f may prove beneficial. The aforementioned Bee My Honey is entitled to come on for her reappearance at Kempton and isn't taken lightly. Denver Doll may fare best of the three-year-old contingent.

This can go to DENVER DOLL who caught the eye when third on her debut at Wolverhampton last month. Welljudged is second choice.

Won on just his second attempt at this trip at Southwell ten days ago with hood back on..
2	2 (2) (5/2 +17%) Sanditon		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(2) Sanditon 5/2, Had to wait for a run but picked up well and was good value for a breakthrough win, landing a handicap by a neck off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective at 7f; good chance after a minimal rise. Got off the mark at the 15th attempt over C&D 13 days ago after a string of good efforts..

Won handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield in December; should be in the shake-up..
9	9 (9) (13/2 +54%) Vitalline		6.5 13/2(+54%)																															(9) Vitalline 13/2, Not the best of runs and below form when beaten in a classified race last time; trainer in form; usually held up; effective at 6/7f; suited by AW; bit to prove at present. Beat Hint Of The Jungle at Kempton (6f) in December and has run respectably since..
6	6 (6) (12/1 -243%) Drafted		12 12/1(-243%)																															(6) Drafted 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off this mark at Dundalk last time; off a short break; consistent at 7-8f on AW; in fine form and now with another new yard.

Beaten a short head at Lingfield (7f) last month but last of ten over C&D last time..
4	4 (4) (25/1 -14%) Adelaide Bay		25 25/1(-14%)																															(4) Adelaide Bay 25/1, No-show from off the pace, finishing down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recently; effective at 7f; slipped below last winning mark but form has been poor of late. Went off the boil in five runs for Thomas Faulkner and makes stable debut..
3	3 (3) (28/1 -75%) Prefer The Sister		28 28/1(-75%)																															(3) Prefer The Sister 28/1, Too keen and found little when beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton last time; tongue-tie worn for the first time; effective at 7/8f; below last winning mark and the tongue-tie now tried.

All five wins have been on AW at Newcastle; has been below his best of late..

HINT OF THE JUNGLE returned to winning ways over 7f at Southwell earlier in the month and a 3lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up here. That said, Sanditon scored over course and distance a couple of weeks ago and is an obvious threat to the selection. Homme De Fer edges out Vitalline to be the pick of the remainder.

Still unexposed over 7f, HINT OF THE JUNGLE won at Southwell ten days ago and he can score again. Homme De Fer is second choice.

3	3 (3) (9/4 +0%) Volendam		2.25 9/4(+0%)																															(3) Volendam 9/4, Ran to form when beaten a length off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Still a maiden but in decent form and can go well again. 0-14 but she's finished runner-up in last two starts and should go well again; shortlisted.
1	1 (1) (5/2 +9%) Charlatan		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(1) Charlatan 5/2, Ran to best when dropped in trip, finishing second beaten 3/4l off 53 last time and is 2lb higher here. Trainer in form; effective at 7-10f and nudged up the weights but can go well again. Five-time AW winner who went close over 7f here last time; respected back up in trip.
4	4 (4) (11/2 +61%) Mr Fustic		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(4) Mr Fustic 11/2, Did his best work late but was never a serious threat after a slow start when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Visor first time and off a short break; effective at 8f and acts on AW; below form of late but down to a fair mark. His last win was 12 months ago and he needs to raise his game after a break; visor added.
5	5 (5) (6/1 +45%) Semser		6 6/1(+45%)																															(5) Semser 6/1, Never in it after a slow start when dropped in trip, beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Effective at 7-10f, suited by AW; on a fair mark but proving inconsistent of late. Five AW wins and he caught the eye of the stewards at Lingfield (7f) latest; dangerous.
6	6 (6) (10/1 -67%) Kessaar Power		10 10/1(-67%)																															(6) Kessaar Power 10/1, Again below form when dropped in trip, beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. Remains above his last winning mark. Triple course winner but he's been disappointing since his C&D win in October.
2	2 (2) (11/1 +56%) Fast Bullet		11 11/1(+56%)																															(2) Fast Bullet 11/1, Again below a winning level when beaten 8l in a handicap at Southwell last time. No sign of cashing in on a falling mark. 11-race maiden and she's not finished closer than fifth in handicaps; others preferred.
7	7 (7) (14/1 -133%) Shades Of May		14 14/1(-133%)																															(7) Shades Of May 14/1, Best form in 12 months, good attitude landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 6-8f, acts on AW; maybe more to come after breakthrough success. Set strong pace when making all for a breakthrough win over C&D latest; respected up 2lb.
8	8 (8) (22/1 -193%) Wrist Art		22 22/1(-193%)																															(8) Wrist Art 22/1, Never in it after a slow start when tried in cheekpieces, beaten 7l in a classified race at Lingfield last time. Suited by 8f and stays 10f; enough to prove back in a handicap. Both wins were in 2023 and he's flopped in his last two runs; risks attached.

The recent C&D winner Shades Of May merits plenty of respect once again, while Volendam has been knocking hard on the door of late and has to be noted. However, the vote goes to CHARLATAN, who was an eye-catching second over 7f at this venue last month. The six-year-old should relish this return to further, having won over an extended mile at Wolverhampton in December, and he should not be underestimated.

Preference is for CHARLATAN who did well to go close from a wide draw here last time and could be a big factor back up in trip.

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.
