5/2(-43%) | (3) Crimson Rose 5/2, Improved on solid debut run to win readily when winning a maiden at Newmarket (July) by 4l last time; effective at 6f on good to firm and AW; absence to overcome but looks promising.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/4 +31%)Nevasca Cinza |
11/4(+31%) | (5) Nevasca Cinza 11/4, Built slightly on debut effort, can win next time when second beaten a head in a maiden at Hamilton latest; trainer in form; effective at 6f, acts on soft and good; should improve a bit further yet. Placed both starts; left the Russell/Scudamore stable for 100,000gns in October; player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (66/1 0%)Percy's Star |
66/1(0%) | (6) Percy's Star 66/1, Territories gelding; brother to With Love, smart at 8f as a 2yo; dam fair at 8f; hard to fancy on debut. By Territories; brother to 7f/1m winner With Love (including 2yo/US turf; RPR 87). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (125/1 -25%)Sun Of Dolly |
125/1(-25%) | (10) Sun Of Dolly 125/1, Bit better than debut run when beaten 7l in a maiden at Doncaster last time; bred to sprint; looks one for low-grade handicaps in time. Better on second start in the mud last autumn but still needs huge improvement. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (100/1 -203%)Dreamadera |
100/1(-203%) | (12) Dreamadera 100/1, Dream Ahead filly; sister to Antonella, smart at 5f; dam useful at 6f; likely up against it on debut. From a useful family; market can guide on debut but she's probably one for later on. |

8th (11) (100/1 -150%)Wild Act |
100/1(-150%) | (11) Wild Act 100/1, Pulled too hard, didn't get home 4l third in a novice at Lingfield most recent run; returning from a break; effective 6f on AW; big, leggy type, plenty to come if settling better. 14,000gns buy in February after two AW runs for C Appleby; others have much better form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (100/1 0%)Romeo's Guardian |
100/1(0%) | (8) Romeo's Guardian 100/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a maiden at Wolverhampton latest; bred for 6f/7f; type to do better once handicapping. Slowly away when towards rear in two 6f maidens on AW last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (125/1 -89%)Blazing Sam |
125/1(-89%) | (4) Blazing Sam 125/1, Al Kazeem gelding; half-brother to Haughmond, useful at 5f as a 2yo; might need this debut experience. Al Kazeem half-brother to two winners; on debut, probably up against it. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (11/4 +54%)Aigeas |
11/4(+54%) | (1) Aigeas 11/4, Below debut level upped in grade on more testing ground when well beaten in Prix Herod (Listed) at Saint-Cloud latest; top course jockey; effective 7f on AW; more to come this season. Won at Deauville (6.5f, AW) but put firmly in his place in French Listed race soon after. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (100/1 +33%)Moonlight Angel |
100/1(+33%) | (13) Moonlight Angel 100/1, Reported to have finished lame when well beaten in a maiden at Ayr only start; returning from long layoff; all to do for now. 28-1, reportedly finished lame when last at Ayr (6f, good) last June; has left M Appleby. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (150/1 -127%)Squashy Berry |
150/1(-127%) | (9) Squashy Berry 150/1, Territories gelding; dam useful at 7f; makes limited appeal on pedigree and is hard to make a case for on debut. By Territories; 1st foal; dam 7f winner (RPR 79), half-sister to two fairly useful winners. |

CRIMSON ROSE scored readily on the second of her two previous starts and the daughter of Lope De Vega appeals the most. That Newmarket maiden produced a couple of subsequent winners and has a stronger appearance than the class 4 novice event Westport landed on his belated debut last month. Aigeas, who won a maiden at Deauville before being pitched into a Listed event at Saint-Cloud, is the pick of the rest.

Penalties for Westport, Crimson Rose and Aigeas heightens interest in NEVASCA CINZA and Railwayman.

1st (4) (11/10 +20%)Red Oak |
11/10(+20%) | (4) Red Oak 11/10, Back to form down in grade when fourth beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Newbury latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on good to soft and good; may have reached level but chance in this. His handicap debut fourth at Newbury last month reads very well in today's context. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/2 +40%)Imperfectlyperfect |
9/2(+40%) | (2) Imperfectlyperfect 9/2, Didn't stay, again below hurdles debut level when fourth beaten 32l in a novice hurdle at Kelso latest; returning from a break; effective 2m, acts on good to soft and good; drop in trip and return to this course a plus. C&D winner who could be suited by the drop back in trip but needs some improvement. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (10/1 -33%)Hurlyburly |
10/1(-33%) | (9) Hurlyburly 10/1, Ran to form when second beaten 7l in an Amateurs' bumper at Haydock latest; effective 2m, acts on soft and good to soft; could improve now hurdling. Runner-up in third and final bumper and he's an each-way contender on hurdle debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/8 +0%)Blues Singer |
11/8(+0%) | (1) Blues Singer 11/8, Back to best to get off the mark when winning a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon by 5l last time; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on decent ground; penalty asks more but should go well. Won big-field maiden at Huntingdon last month and holds leading claims under a 7lb penalty. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (80/1 +47%)Betteryouthanme |
80/1(+47%) | (5) Betteryouthanme 80/1, Similar level to debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Wetherby latest; effective at 3m in points; type to do better when handicapping. 0-7 in points and beaten 27l at big odds last month on his first two starts over hurdles. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (300/1 -200%)Mademewhatiam |
300/1(-200%) | (10) Mademewhatiam 300/1, Let down by jumping when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Musselburgh last time; off a short-break; effective around 2m4f, acts on soft and good; back hurdling now with a bit to prove. 7yo who is a longstanding maiden and would be a shock winner today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (22/1 -159%)Pimmsoclock |
22/1(-159%) | (3) Pimmsoclock 22/1, Promising debut 3/4l winner in a 4yo hurdle at Fontainebleau on debut; effective 2m2f with cut; promising recruit and of interest here. Won his sole start in France and looks a bright prospect; not ruled out on British debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (125/1 -56%)Caspada |
125/1(-56%) | (7) Caspada 125/1, Green, mistakes, modest debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Carlisle last time; plenty to prove for now. Bumper debut wasn't devoid of promise but down the field on both starts since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (40/1 0%)C'mon So |
40/1(0%) | (6) C'mon So 40/1, Didn't stay on hurdles debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle here last time; effective at 2m in bumpers; drop in trip a plus but lots to find. Hasn't shown enough across his three rules starts to suggest he'll be threatening today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (150/1 -50%)Prince Phil |
150/1(-50%) | (11) Prince Phil 150/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Wetherby latest; should improve but needs to. Displayed ability on bumper debut at Kelso but pulled up at 150-1 on sole hurdle start. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (300/1 -100%)Countryman Joe |
300/1(-100%) | (8) Countryman Joe 300/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle here latest; tongue-tie first time; hard to make a case for. Tailed off at big odds in both bumpers & pulled up when 300-1 on recent hurdle debut here. |

RED OAK's fourth at Newbury last time reads particularly well as the winner of that contest landed a Grade 1 at Aintree on Friday and the return to novice company can see him back to winning ways. Blues Singer looks the strongest threat based on his Huntingdon victory last month but his jumping can be a bit haphazard at times. Imperfectlyperfect heads the remainder.

This looks likely to be between southern challengers BLUES SINGER and Red Oak, with the Huntingdon maiden winner getting the nod.

6/4(+20%) | (9) King's Cavalry 6/4, Shaped with promise after a slow start beaten 5 1/4l in a novice at Newmarket on debut; effective at 7f on good; more to come this term. Lots to like on pedigree; promising from off the pace at Newmarket (7f, good) in October. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (8/1 +60%)Erudition |
8/1(+60%) | (6) Erudition 8/1, 26,000gns Mehmas gelding; half-brother to Straight Answer, smart at 6f as a 2yo; dam very smart at 7f as a 2yo; top course trainer and worth a market check on debut. By Mehmas; sold by Juddmonte for 26,000gns this February. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/2 -22%)Beagle Bay |
11/2(-22%) | (1) Beagle Bay 11/2, Still green in front off a break but proved retains ability when winning a novice at Chelmsford by 2 1/2l last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good and AW; attractive gelding, more to come. Stacks of promise last April; went one better when 1-2 at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (7/2 +50%)Dumuji |
7/2(+50%) | (3) Dumuji 7/2, Professional debut, strong at finish when 1/2l winner in a novice at Kempton on debut; effective at 7f on AW; looks a promising sort. 16-1 at Kempton (7f, AW) in November but always prominent for a half-length win. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

40/1(-43%) | (7) Flor De Guerra 40/1, 55,000 euros Mehmas gelding; bred for 7/8f; runners from the yard often need their debut experience. 55,000euros yearling by Mehmas; stable has had few runners this year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (250/1 -67%)Society Charm |
250/1(-67%) | (12) Society Charm 250/1, Similar level to debut when well beaten in a maiden at Kempton latest; speedily-bred; should improve once handicapping. 33-1 and 125-1 when slowly away and beaten about 11l in two 7f events on AW recently. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (16/1 -129%)Court Alert |
16/1(-129%) | (5) Court Alert 16/1, Tailed off when well beaten in the end in an auction race at Newmarket most recent; in good form prior; effective at 6f on a sound surface; has a race such as this in him. 2nd in 6f Newmarket sales race last August is the best form in this, easily his best too. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (40/1 -100%)Mertoun |
40/1(-100%) | (11) Mertoun 40/1, Well beaten again in a maiden at Newbury latest; top course jockey; bred to be suited by around 7f; type to do better once handicapping. Low-level form both starts in October but there was plenty of market interest; gelded. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (80/1 -264%)Landslide |
80/1(-264%) | (10) Landslide 80/1, Territories colt; half-brother to Voltaic, useful at 7f; tough enough task on debut although is from a good stable. By Territories; makes his debut and others look more likely on paper. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (300/1 -355%)Clough |
300/1(-355%) | (2) Clough 300/1, Poor debut well beaten in a maiden at Pontefract only start; bred for 10f+, already had a wind op; type to do better once handicapping. 33-1, no show when last of eight at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) last Tuesday. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (200/1 -150%)Golden Harvest |
200/1(-150%) | (8) Golden Harvest 200/1, 13,000gns Washington Dc colt; half-brother to Rocket Money, very useful at 5f as a 2yo; dam useful at 7f as a 2yo; might need this. 13,000gns yearling by Washington DC; probably one for later. |

The previous winners are the ones to focus on. Beagle Bay, a respectable second in a maiden at Newbury on debut, overcame greenness to win in similar company at Chelmsford. The son of New Bay reverts to turf with bags of scope and looks a key player. As does Dumuji, whose Kempton debut win was an encouraging performance. However, I'LL BE BACK hardly came out of first gear when he landed a Doncaster maiden in November and he gets the vote.

Penalised winners Beagle Bay, I'll Be Back and Dumuji may well prove vulnerable faced with KING'S CAVALRY.

1st (11) (20/1 -100%)Kicksaftersix |
20/1(-100%) | (11) Kicksaftersix 20/1, Lacked pace back hurdling when comfortably held in a handicap at Carlisle last time; effective at 3m on sound surface; return to fences a plus but 2m on sharp side. Hat-trick of wins over 3m here last spring and he may well find today's trip inadequate. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (7/1 +42%)Flash Du Pistolet |
7/1(+42%) | (6) Flash Du Pistolet 7/1, Made too much use of up in class when well beaten in a handicap chase at Carlisle latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; back in form until latest. Mixed form this season but on a handy mark and can go well if back on song. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (10/3 +44%)Royal Deeside |
10/3(+44%) | (10) Royal Deeside 10/3, Bit free in front, made too much use of on quick return and set it up for closers 8l third in a handicap chase at Haydock most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by sound surface; in good form over fences. 2-time course winner who has been shaping as though this drop back in trip could be a plus. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (12/1 -33%)Rock On Jet |
12/1(-33%) | (5) Rock On Jet 12/1, Ran to form when 9l third in a handicap chase at Ayr most recent run; returning from a break; effective 2m, acts on soft and good to soft; mark demands more. Not at top of his game on his two runs this season but on a reduced mark; not written off. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (80/1 -21%)Nonbinding |
80/1(-21%) | (12) Nonbinding 80/1, Made too much use of, needed run when fourth beaten 29l in a handicap chase at Sedgefield latest; effective 2m; formerly useful hurdler, out of form, needs to prove ability remains. Two novice hurdle wins in autumn 2022 but hard to fancy on subsequent evidence. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|B| (9) (5/1 +9%)Powerofjet |
5/1(+9%) | (9) Powerofjet 5/1, Ran to form up in class, conceded first run beaten 12l third in a handicap chase at Carlisle most recent run; effective at 2m, acts on good to soft, good; in form and can go well again. 3rd in series final at Carlisle last month and this is less competitive; high on the list. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (1) (3/1 +14%)Young Getaway |
3/1(+14%) | (1) Young Getaway 3/1, Not clear run, better than bare form when second beaten 3/4l in a novice hurdle here latest; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; effective 2m-2m4f on soft and good; open to improvement now chasing. Makes chase/handicap debut following a year off but with trainer in phenomenal form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (7/1 +42%)That One |
7/1(+42%) | (2) That One 7/1, Outclassed up in grade down the field in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle most recent; off a short-break; effective around 2m, acts on soft and good; consistent until latest and may do better now chasing. Needs to better February hurdle form but this course winner isn't ruled out on chase debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (13) (25/1 -25%)Elusive Warrior |
25/1(-25%) | (13) Elusive Warrior 25/1, Never competitive after series of errors, looked in need of stiffer test when 10l third in a handicap chase at Sedgefield most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; should improve on debut effort. Some promise in his chase debut and he's open to improvement if finding greater fluency. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (4) (10/1 +60%)Choose A Copper |
10/1(+60%) | (4) Choose A Copper 10/1, Not find much, made plenty of use of well beaten in a handicap chase at Haydock latest; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-2,7f, acts with cut; form has tailed off. Plenty to prove but if he is to stage a revival, this is the likeliest venue. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (7) (11/1 +8%)Too Cool Forshrule |
11/1(+8%) | (7) Too Cool Forshrule 11/1, Never jumped or travelled, unsuited by drop in trip when pulled up at Carlisle latest; effective 2m4f-2m7f, suited by decent ground but acts on soft; in good form until latest, may want returning to further. Pulled up three weeks ago but two wins this season and in the mix if bouncing back. |

It seems significant that Nicky Richards sends YOUNG GETAWAY over fences this late in the season as the seven-year-old's last appearance came at this meeting 12 months ago. He was a consistent type over hurdles and gave the impression that going chasing would bring out the best in him. The drop back in trip appears to be the right move for Heads Or Harps, while Royal Deeside completes the shortlist.

The drop back in trip is well worth a go with ROYAL DEESIDE, whose two wins have come here, and he's the pick ahead of Young Getaway

1st (5) (2/1 +40%)Rialannah |
2/1(+40%) | (5) Rialannah 2/1, Needed run, did plenty early but ran well for a long way beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, wants decent ground; inconsistent, should come on for latest and yard does well here. Ran big race when fifth on recent stable debut and this longer trip will suit; shortlisted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (9/4 +32%)Ilitch |
9/4(+32%) | (1) Ilitch 9/4, Yard won this last year; did plenty early and set it up for closer well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Warwick latest; in good form prior; effective 2-3m, acts on good to soft, good; consistent until latest and yard does well here. Flopped badly last time (bled); contender if judged on previous Doncaster second. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/2 +44%)Breezethroughlife |
9/2(+44%) | (2) Breezethroughlife 9/2, Outclassed comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time; had wind op; effective 2-3m, acts on good; inconsistent. Second on handicap debut; struggled on next two outings; had wind op last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (8/1 -78%)Raby Mere |
8/1(-78%) | (7) Raby Mere 8/1, Improved up in trip landing a handicap by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, wants decent ground; inconsistent, unexposed as a stayer but this demands more. Back in prime form at Southwell last week and also has a course win on his CV; respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (20/1 -25%)The Wise Traveller |
20/1(-25%) | (8) The Wise Traveller 20/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton latest having been pestered up front by unexposed rival; enjoys making it; suited by 3m on good; needs to dominate. Generally disappointing since Plumpton win in September; pulled up there last week. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (18/1 -300%)Tropical Speed |
18/1(-300%) | (3) Tropical Speed 18/1, Quickly returned to form landing a handicap by 6l off a 6lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; returning from a break; effective 2 1/2-3m, best on sound surface; generally consistent. Off since making all at Lingfield in November but this faster ground may suit even better. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (40/1 -150%)Mahon Falls |
40/1(-150%) | (4) Mahon Falls 40/1, 32l third in a maiden hurdle at Ascot most recent run; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on soft, good; Irish form franked at Graded level, more to come now handicapping over longer trips, going left handed may help. Didn't achieve much when remote third of four on recent stable debut; handicap debut today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (8/1 +27%)Alan Bresil |
8/1(+27%) | (6) Alan Bresil 8/1, Never threatened ridden to see out the trip comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ascot last time; effective around 2m5f, acts on good; needs more in handicaps. 0-6 over hurdles but not beaten that far at Ascot recently and this race looks easier. |

RABY MERE makes a lot of sense in the opener because previous course-winning form is key at this venue and he's in good nick following a last-start success at Southwell. Tropical Speed won't go down without a fight and was quite taking at Lingfield in November when scoring by six lengths. He's noted along with Ilitch and track scorer Breezethroughlife.

Having weakened out of contention only in the closing stages of her recent seasonal/stable debut, RIALANNAH might be the answer.

1st (1) (11/4 +0%)Expressionless |
11/4(+0%) | (1) Expressionless 11/4, Plenty went wrong but still improved on return when beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Doncaster last time; effective 10-14f, acts on any, possibly now better on sound surface; fair chance off same mark as latest. This step back up in trip should suit (1m6f winner last October); strong candidate. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (11/4 +68%)Hibernate |
11/4(+68%) | (7) Hibernate 11/4, Ran to form back up in trip beaten 5l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; top course jockey; suited by 10f, seemed stretched by 12f, acts on soft and good to firm; chance if building on latest. Solid sequence last summer/autumn; recent reappearance was respectable. |

3rd (4) (18/5 +80%)Alta Rica |
18/5(+80%) | (4) Alta Rica 18/5, Best work late tried in visor beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; off a short-break; effective 10/11f, acts on good to soft and AW; needs more but mark easing. Eight-race maiden; well treated on best efforts but others inspire a bit more confidence. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4/1 +20%)Serviceman |
4/1(+20%) | (2) Serviceman 4/1, Needed run back from big absence when well beaten in a novice at Kempton latest; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 8-10f on sound surface; should have come on for return and can do better now handicapping. Absent 489 days before recent return; better chance going handicapping; first headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (5/1 -11%)Seraphic |
5/1(-11%) | (5) Seraphic 5/1, Ran to best landing a handicap by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Kempton last time; effective 10-12f, acts on good to firm and AW; tricky hold-up ride but in form and remains on workable mark. Won on turf on almost this day last year and has scored twice (1m2f/1m3f) on AW in 2026. |

EXPRESSIONLESS looked worth following when he finished a respectable third over an inadequate 1m2f at Doncaster on the first day of the new Flat season. Back up in trip and off the same mark, there is plenty to like now he has proven his well-being. Sea Of Charm is versatile regarding ground and is another ideally suited by this sort of test, while Johnny Boom and Seraphic are capable of being on the premises at this level.

This looks competitive but EXPRESSIONLESS may be the one to latch on to after his big run at Doncaster.

6/1(+57%) | (8) Snapaudaciaheros 6/1, Didn't find much when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle last time; cheekpieces first time; effective around 2m4f on a sound surface; not fully exposed but others preferred. Unplaced all eight hurdle runs; back in trip with cheekpieces added today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/2 +10%)She's Notjoeking |
9/2(+10%) | (4) She's Notjoeking 9/2, Ran to form when third beaten 6l off 100 last time, same mark here; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on heavy and good to soft; found form again of late and should go well here. Won from the front two starts ago and was third under much more patient ride last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (5/1 -82%)Out On Her Own |
5/1(-82%) | (7) Out On Her Own 5/1, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; effective 2m-2m4f on soft and good; running well and chance once again. 0-7 over hurdles but runner-up twice at Carlisle since returning from a break last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (12/1 +25%)My My My Delilah |
12/1(+25%) | (6) My My My Delilah 12/1, Found nil despite new tongue-tie when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield most recent; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft, good; yet to match bumper form, needs more in handicaps. 0-6 over hurdles, having struggled in all three handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (50/1 -525%)Theirshegoes |
50/1(-525%) | (5) Theirshegoes 50/1, Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces, just flattening out up the hill when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Kelso latest; effective 2m4f, acts on good to soft and good; not one to rely on building on latest. Seemingly back in good form this month, after a break; drops back in trip today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (9/2 -13%)Rose's Dart |
9/2(-13%) | (3) Rose's Dart 9/2, Improved down in trip back on better ground in first-time tongue-tie when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Market Rasen last time; effective 2m2f-2m4f; may have bit more to offer now she's had her head in front. Came good when back on better ground and when tongue tied last month; still lightly raced. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (17/2 -6%)Dee's Getaway |
17/2(-6%) | (1) Dee's Getaway 17/2, Returned to form off reduced mark jumping much better landing a handicap by a neck off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft, good; inconsistent but capable after latest. Shock C&D winner last month and now 3-13 over hurdles; contender if in right mood again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (10/3 +17%)Gintime |
10/3(+17%) | (2) Gintime 10/3, Ran to form, just flattening out after an error when beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on soft and good to soft; needs more to defy this mark. Creditable fifth in valuable series final at Kelso last month; commands respect here. |

Gintime ran with plenty of credit in a series final at Kelso last time and is expected to be in the mix, despite there being a concern about her finishing effort, while Rose's Dart has to be considered after scoring at Market Rasen. That said, OUT ON HER OWN may have her day in the sun after a string of runner-up efforts at Carlisle.

The vote goes to GINTIME, who drops in grade after holding her own in a competitive series final and remains lightly raced.

7/4(+0%) | (3) Fortunefavorsdbold 7/4, Ran to form when second beaten 10l in a handicap chase at Exeter latest; effective up to 3m2f, heavy, good; back in form over fences of late, mark fair. Placed on four of her five outings this season and features prominently in calculations. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/2 -11%)Annie Nail |
5/2(-11%) | (4) Annie Nail 5/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by 3l off this mark here last time; effective 2m4f-2m6f, acts on good to soft, good; back on workable mark, unexposed as a stayer and well treated off unchanged mark back over fences. Not very consistent but won over hurdles off today's mark a week ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (8/1 +0%)Ballygelly |
8/1(+0%) | (5) Ballygelly 8/1, Won this last year; outpaced, needed run comfortably held in a handicap chase at Plumpton last time; best at 3m on a sound surface; inconsistent, should come on for latest. Well beaten last month, after a break, but ran well over C&D twice last year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (6/1 +33%)Gilbertina |
6/1(+33%) | (2) Gilbertina 6/1, Jumped abysmally, poor run up in class when fourth beaten 22l in a handicap chase at Southwell latest; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by decent ground; yet to match hurdle form, goes best at Market Rasen. Below par this month but was close third over 2m4f two runs ago; tries a new trip here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (4/1 +11%)Moviddy |
4/1(+11%) | (1) Moviddy 4/1, Made too much use of when second beaten 23l in a handicap chase at Wincanton latest; blinkers first time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good; down in weights but unreliable. Regressive and inconsistent now but ran well in valuable series final here in January. |

ANNIE NAIL won quite comfortably in the end here last week over timber and the decision to turn her out quickly suggests she's come out of that race in good nick. Another bold showing looks assured under a light weight, with Fortunefavorsdbold possibly booked for second again following solid efforts at Leicester and Exeter. Moviddy is another to bear in mind.

Tentative preference in this tricky race is for MOVIDDY, who is now 4lb lower than when placed in a valuable race here in January.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (13/2 -30%)Spring Bloom |
13/2(-30%) | (7) Spring Bloom 13/2, Below form dropped in trip beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; trainer in form; returning from a break; effective at 5/6f, acts on any; respected off this mark. Winless since 2024 but ran well in defeat last year; well treated for in-form new yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/2 -64%)Al Barez |
9/2(-64%) | (2) Al Barez 9/2, Back to form beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; top course jockey; effective 6f on sound surface; eased again in weights and can go well. Latest turf win in 2022; fair AW run latest and now 11lb lower than latest run on grass. |

7/1(+30%) | (9) Liosa 7/1, Never dangerous beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; in good form prior; effective 6f, acts on a sound surface, suited by AW; in form but mark is stiff enough. Goes well fresh and won on comeback (AW) in 2025; 0-9 on turf and now with new trainer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/1 +0%)Thunderous Love |
9/1(+0%) | (5) Thunderous Love 9/1, Ran as though something amiss when down the field in a handicap at Goodwood most recent; suited by 6f, acts on any; bounce back needed on return. Five 6f wins in 2025, going right up weights; needs to be on her game to win today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (12/1 -20%)Bay Breeze |
12/1(-20%) | (8) Bay Breeze 12/1, Never dangerous down the field in a handicap at Nottingham most recent; suited by 6f, acts on any, but likes give; bounce back needed. Rain welcomed and has a weights chance but he tends to need the run these days. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (40/1 -21%)Savannah Smiles |
40/1(-21%) | (10) Savannah Smiles 40/1, Never dangerous, no real excuses when well beaten in a handicap at Bath latest; suited by 5f, acts on any; only just above last win mark now. Had a good season in 2025 but quiet end to the year and hood refitted on comeback. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (15/2 +25%)Lodge |
15/2(+25%) | (6) Lodge 15/2, Too keen, again well below form when down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on soft and good; going wrong way but drop in trip a plus. Won 6f maiden on debut; stays 7f but tame effort over that trip latest; now back at 6f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (25/1 -178%)Just Queen High |
25/1(-178%) | (4) Just Queen High 25/1, Didn't stay up in trip on return when down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; effective 6/7f, acts on heavy, good and AW; more to come returned to sprinting. Two wins from last three 6f starts, latest on heavy; better for recent return over 7f. |

WRECK IT RYLEY won over C&D in October and warmed up for a return to this track when not beaten far at Newcastle last month. The six-year-old doesn't face a particularly strong field here and is expected to get his head back in front. Just Queen High is another expected to step forward from her first run of the year at Doncaster, while Thunderous Love has every chance with conditions to suit.

Spring Bloom is much respected on his debut for an in-form yard but WRECK IT RYLEY is taken to add to his C&D win in October.

7/4(+7%) | (1) Jamesieconn 7/4, Good attitude in landing hat-trick in a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; trainer in form; enjoys making it; effective 3m-3m2f, acts on soft and good; new mark asks more but in fine form. Front-runner who has won his last three starts and could be tough to beat. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +0%)Streamsforth Lad |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Streamsforth Lad 4/1, Ran to form up in trip beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; more to come over fences if jumping improves. Runner-up to well-backed winner at Bangor two weeks ago; major player granted clear round. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (15/2 -25%)Redeeming Love |
15/2(-25%) | (4) Redeeming Love 15/2, Ran to form, appreciating step up in trip tried in a tongue-tie on handicap debut 5l third in a handicap hurdle at Southwell most recent run; effective 3m; more to come over staying trips in handicaps. Third on handicap hurdle debut and she could have more to offer now switched to fences. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (11/1 +50%)Rightbackatyou |
11/1(+50%) | (9) Rightbackatyou 11/1, Merely picked up the pieces, improved from debut when second beaten 31l in a handicap chase here latest; effective 3m; plenty more needed. Runner-up over C&D last month but beaten 31l and only two completed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (16/1 -14%)I See The Sea |
16/1(-14%) | (2) I See The Sea 16/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of, unable to dominate when well beaten in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee latest; effective around 3m on sound surface; form in and out but mark workable. Inconsistent and well beaten a fortnight ago but on last winning mark and not written off. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (12/1 -20%)Dr Shirocco |
12/1(-20%) | (7) Dr Shirocco 12/1, Travelled, flattened out late having looked big threat when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh latest; effective 2m4f-3m on soft and good; capable off this mark. Ran pretty well off lower hurdle mark last month; all four wins have come over fences. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (28/1 +30%)Gibberwell |
28/1(+30%) | (8) Gibberwell 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here latest; effective around 3m, acts on soft and good; inconsistent veteran and hard to fancy. Last two wins have come here but this 10yo has been pulled up on his last three starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (28/1 -40%)Jet Light |
28/1(-40%) | (6) Jet Light 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Perth latest; cheekpieces first time; returning from long layoff; needs more now chasing but could improve as had point experience. Achieved little over hurdles; point runner-up; one to watch in the betting on chase debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (33/1 +0%)Reliance Kid |
33/1(+0%) | (12) Reliance Kid 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here latest after a wind op; hasn't shown much to date and all to prove at present. He's struggled under rules and was well beaten at 28-1 on his recent chase debut over C&D. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (13) (14/1 -17%)Blue Indigo |
14/1(-17%) | (13) Blue Indigo 14/1, Fell late when going well in a handicap chase here latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 3m, acts with cut; more to come over fences judged on point efforts. In second when falling four out over C&D on chase debut; cheekpieces could help jumping. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (9/1 +44%)Joie More |
9/1(+44%) | (11) Joie More 9/1, Below form up in grade when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Newcastle last time; effective 2m4f-3m; in moderate form. Maiden who was well beaten at Newcastle last time; wind op needs to have made a difference. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (11/1 +31%)King Of Cong |
11/1(+31%) | (5) King Of Cong 11/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on heavy and good to soft; unreliable. He's struggled on his last 2 runs but perhaps the change of headgear will give him a boost. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (16) (40/1 -21%)Euchan Falls |
40/1(-21%) | (16) Euchan Falls 40/1, Unsuited by drop in trip when well beaten in a handicap chase at Newcastle latest; effective 2m4f-3m with cut; regressive and others preferred here. 0-18 over fences and down the field in this sphere on his last two runs; 10lb wrong today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (15) (100/1 +0%)Muroor |
100/1(+0%) | (15) Muroor 100/1, Didn't handle the testing ground when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Ayr last time; off a short-break; effective 3m, needs decent ground; wants positive handling, out of form. Beaten just a neck over C&D last May but hasn't threatened in his four subsequent starts. |

JAMESIECONN is currently in the form of his life and the seven-year-old may prove a tough nut to crack in his attempt to make it four wins on the bounce. Streamsforth Lad comes with risks attached but got round when runner-up at Bangor at the end of last month and would be a threat if his jumping stands up. Others to note are Dr Shirocco and Redeeming Love.

Topweight JAMESIECONN (nap) is a 7yo on the up and he can complete a four-timer. Streamsforth Lad is feared most.

1st (2) (11/10 +45%)Dartmouth Rose |
11/10(+45%) | (2) Dartmouth Rose 11/10, Improved back down in trip in first time cheekpieces landing a handicap by 4l off a 7lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good to soft, good; consistent and likes the track. Career-best form when scoring in new cheekpieces last month; this C&D also suits. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (6/1 -50%)Silver Gale |
6/1(-50%) | (4) Silver Gale 6/1, Outpaced, improved up in trip 5l third in a handicap hurdle at Warwick most recent run; effective 3 1/4m, acts on good; may have bit more to offer in handicaps. Improved form when upped to 3m2f for recent handicap debut, finishing third. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/1 +8%)Honey I'm Good |
11/1(+8%) | (3) Honey I'm Good 11/1, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time; off a short-break; effective 3m+, suited by sound surface; better over fences but fair mark. Well handicapped on old form and shaped quite well in February, after a long layoff. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (6/4 -36%)Natus Vincere |
6/4(-36%) | (1) Natus Vincere 6/4, Yard won this last year; scored by 2l off a 9lb lower mark at Huntingdon penultimate start; effective over 2 1/2m, acts on heavy and good to soft; bit more to come over staying trips. Off the mark over 2m3f in February; up in trip today; probably still has potential. |

Dartmouth Rose won well at Southwell latest and brings winning course form to the table. There is a lot to like about her profile, but the gut feeling is that NATUS VINCERE will have her measure following win and placed efforts at Huntingdon and Market Rasen. She's clearly on good terms with herself and another bold showing looks likely. Silver Gale is next best.

It might be worth chancing HONEY I'M GOOD, who is well handicapped on old form and ran well to a point on her reappearance outing.

1st (2) (7/2 +0%)Tenbob Tommy |
7/2(+0%) | (2) Tenbob Tommy 7/2, Suited by drop in trip and probably best effort when winning a novice at Lingfield by a neck last time; off a short-break; suited by 6f, effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; consistent and respected back in a handicap. Stiffer 6f should suit but he's back to handicap company on a career-high mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (14/1 -87%)Rogue Allegiance |
14/1(-87%) | (6) Rogue Allegiance 14/1, Again well below 2025 best beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective at 6f, acts on good to firm and AW; yet to show form in handicaps. Promising 2yo debut (6f, AW) but struggled last year; hood given second try; stable debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3/1 +33%)Em Four |
3/1(+33%) | (1) Em Four 3/1, Ran to form off new mark fourth beaten 4l off 75 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 6f on sound surface; needs more back on turf. Helped set the race up for the closers last time and that can be upgraded a touch; player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/1 -100%)Invincible Speed |
11/1(-100%) | (5) Invincible Speed 11/1, Back to form when fourth beaten 2l off 73 last time, 1lb lower here; effective at 6f, acts with cut but all wins on AW; still on a competitive mark. Wins have come on the AW and he boasts a patchy record on turf (0-6); needs more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (9/1 -100%)Al Hofzan |
9/1(-100%) | (9) Al Hofzan 9/1, Ran to best beaten 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7-9f, acts on AW; can go well again if as effective down in trip back on turf. Cheekpieces have helped; first crack at sprinting on his turf debut and is one to consider. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (11/2 +27%)Shazani |
11/2(+27%) | (4) Shazani 11/2, Needed run on return when down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; blinkers first time; effective 6-8f, acts on any, likes Doncaster; chance if on a going day but unreliable. Doncaster flop; softer ground would have been ideal back to sprinting; bit to prove. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (17/2 +47%)Beyond Borders |
17/2(+47%) | (3) Beyond Borders 17/2, Below form, too slow away when beaten 6l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; effective 6f, acts on any; in poor form. Four wins for Karl Burke as a 2yo but wildly inconsistent since; ordinary record fresh. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (7/1 +50%)The Coffee Pod |
7/1(+50%) | (7) The Coffee Pod 7/1, Too slow away and well beaten in a handicap at Goodwood latest; hood first time; suited by 5f, acts on any; form very up and down. Maybe fresh is the time to catch him (has bled), in a hood, but the stiff 6f is a concern. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (12/1 +25%)Magic Music |
12/1(+25%) | (8) Magic Music 12/1, Too slow away when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time; probably effective 7f, but bred to want 8-10f, acts on fast ground; thick-set filly, needs more. Only run over 7f to date and needs to have improved during her seven months off. |

AL HOFZAN has been running consistently well on the all-weather in recent months and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if the switch to turf brought out further improvement. Invincible Speed backed up a Lingfield success in January with a couple of solid runs in defeat at Kempton and the five-year-old is respected along with Tenbob Tommy, who got off the mark at Lingfield when last seen.

Plenty with something to prove and this can go to the consistent EM FOUR, a Chepstow and Epsom winner last summer.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/3 -33%)Rock Dj |
10/3(-33%) | (1) Rock Dj 10/3, Below form on quicker ground when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time; effective 2m4f, acts on soft; capable of a good run. He's run pretty well in his first two handicaps and drops back down in grade today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (50/1 +0%)Woodview Lad |
50/1(+0%) | (6) Woodview Lad 50/1, May not have stayed when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; plenty to prove. Very lightly raced but tailed off at big odds last month in his first two handicaps. |

4th (2) (10/1 +9%)Balking |
10/1(+9%) | (2) Balking 10/1, Needed run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ayr latest; effective 2m-2m4f on soft and good to soft; should come on for latest. 25-1 runner-up on h'cap debut last January; may have needed this season's sole run since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (7/2 +22%)Divilabother |
7/2(+22%) | (3) Divilabother 7/2, Best work late when fourth beaten 14l in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle latest; returning from a break; best at 2m4f, acts on good to soft and good; may have more to offer. C&D winner on stable debut last August; could be a contender after a break. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (4/1 +11%)Party In The Park |
4/1(+11%) | (5) Party In The Park 4/1, Poorly placed off steady pace, not given a hard time when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle latest; off a short-break; effective around 2m1f on a sound surface; type to do better with further experience. Pedigree hints that this step up in trip will be a plus on his second handicap start. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (17/2 +53%)Do Ye Wanna |
17/2(+53%) | (10) Do Ye Wanna 17/2, Tired up the hill, below form well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2m4f, acts on soft and good; inconsistent. Third on handicap debut in February; underwhelming since but not written off. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (18/1 -300%)Asa |
18/1(-300%) | (4) Asa 18/1, Outpaced, flew home up the hill, ran to form when third beaten 5l off 102 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 3m, acts on soft and good; back in form and can go well on return to hurdles. Has been in good heart over hurdles and fences this year and she's a possible player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (9/1 -13%)Getaway Master |
9/1(-13%) | (7) Getaway Master 9/1, Travelled but didn't find as much as looked likely, ran to form beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by plenty of cut; generally in good form for new yard. Step back in right direction when sixth of 14 over C&D; capable of building on that effort. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (12/1 +45%)Eire Street |
12/1(+45%) | (9) Eire Street 12/1, Made too much use of, didn't stay when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby latest; visor first time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on heavy and good to soft; dropping back to workable mark but unreliable of late. Very well treated on old form but pulled up/tailed off on his last three starts. |

DIVILABOTHER is a model of consistency and gets the nod on that basis. A smooth C&D winner last summer, the eight-year-old has held his form well since and comes in here fresh. Asa has race-fitness on her side and is interesting reverting to timber for this assignment, while it would be no surprise if Party In The Park went well.

The step up in trip could unlock some improvement from the unexposed 5yo PARTY IN THE PARK. He earns the vote ahead of Rock Dj.

1st (2) (5/4 +38%)Esperti |
5/4(+38%) | (2) Esperti 5/4, Returned to form just beaten by unexposed rival beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; effective 3m-3m2f, acts on any; in form, remains on workable mark. Back in good nick when keeping-on second at Chepstow (3m6f) last month; respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/2 -27%)Prince Cleni |
7/2(-27%) | (3) Prince Cleni 7/2, Unseated in a handicap chase at Hereford latest when booked for runner up spot; effective 2m6f-3m2 on soft and good to firm; on workable mark if building on latest. Set to finish second before last-fence mishap at Hereford last month; considered. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/2 -43%)Slaney Opera |
5/2(-43%) | (1) Slaney Opera 5/2, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Sedgefield three starts back; returned to form back on better ground second beaten 3l off 100 last time, 1lb higher here; effective at 3m-3m3f on sound surface; on fair mark based on hunter chase form. Won at Sedgefield in January and ran well in defeat last month; now with new stable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (4) (5/1 +23%)Blackacre |
5/1(+23%) | (4) Blackacre 5/1, Continues to run ok whilst going up in the weights when second beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap chase at Plumpton latest; suited by 3m+, acts on decent ground; freshened up after autumn campaign; interesting. Dual winner last summer; absent since the autumn but resumes on a workable mark. |

Slaney Opera, who tries first-time cheekpieces on his debut run for Nick Scholfield, sets the standard despite being unexposed under Rules. However, he gives a fair bit of weight away on his first try over a marathon trip and may be vulnerable on these terms. In receipt of 12lb, ESPERTI is a more proven stayer and may be able to go one better after a good second over an extended 3m6f at Chepstow. Prince Cleni is next best.

Still unexposed under rules, SLANEY OPERA (nap) ran well in defeat for Ruth Jefferson last month and can make a winning stable debut.

9/2(+18%) | (5) This Farh 9/2, Below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective over 7f on sound surface; mark keeps easing but more needed back on turf. Hampered start when sixth at Lingfield 24 days ago; can bounce back from slipping mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (5/2 +82%)Albeseeingyer |
5/2(+82%) | (7) Albeseeingyer 5/2, Again below form, needed run beaten 9l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; suited by 7f, acts on any; down again in weights and should come on for return. C&D scorer; tenth of 15 on her return at Doncaster 15 days ago; can take step forward. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/4 +8%)Mission Command |
11/4(+8%) | (3) Mission Command 11/4, Best work late from off pace beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Pontefract last time; effective 5-8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; mark is easing but not sure drop in trip a help. In excellent nick; ended up with lot to do when Pontefract third six days ago; big player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (15/2 -25%)Tactical Plan |
15/2(-25%) | (2) Tactical Plan 15/2, Below form, needed run when down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; in good form prior; top course jockey; effective at 7f, acts on any but both wins on testing ground; competitive mark if bouncing back. On a losing sequence and came in last on his return at Doncaster (7f) 15 days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (9/1 -64%)Forever My Prince |
9/1(-64%) | (6) Forever My Prince 9/1, Needed run on return beaten 6l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 6/7f, acts on any; considered off this mark and should come on for return. Solid fifth for new yard in 7f Doncaster h'cap latest; C&D winner needs considering. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (7/1 -133%)Red Mirage |
7/1(-133%) | (4) Red Mirage 7/1, Ran to form on return beaten 2l off this mark at Doncaster last time; suited by 7f, acts on soft and good, AW; in form and can go well again. Good 3rd in 7f Doncaster handicap 2 weeks ago after 4-month break; must enter calculations. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (16/1 -191%)Brunel Nation |
16/1(-191%) | (1) Brunel Nation 16/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 8l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 7f, acts on sound surface; bounce back needed. Winless since 2024 and beat only two at Lingfield 17 days ago; cheekpieces reached for now. |

RED MIRAGE returned in fine fettle when third at Doncaster and the eight-year-old, who races off the same mark, has every chance of getting his head back in front. Mission Command ran well at Pontefract on Tuesday and the drop back to 7f doesn't appear likely to be an issue. Tactical Plan looked in need of his Doncaster outing and better is expected here.

Preference is for MISSION COMMAND (nap) who signalled he was ready to end a losing sequence when a good third at Pontefract last week.

1st (3) (9/2 -13%)Gardener |
9/2(-13%) | (3) Gardener 9/2, Ran to form under aggressive ride, benefitting from drop in class when landing a handicap by a neck off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; remains on fair mark. Three 3rds before a tenacious C&D win (soft) in 14-runner race last time; back up 4lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (22/1 -10%)My Boy Christy |
22/1(-10%) | (9) My Boy Christy 22/1, Yard won this last year; outpaced, below form back down in trip well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield latest; effective 2m, acts on yielding; yet to match Irish form. Big overall improvement is required but return of cheekpieces offers a little hope. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4/1 +50%)Highbury Hill |
4/1(+50%) | (4) Highbury Hill 4/1, Never travelled, below form up in trip when fifth beaten 87l off 100 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; inconsistent of late. Off the mark at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in January; inconsistent, tailed off on latest start. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (7/2 +42%)Our Laura B |
7/2(+42%) | (6) Our Laura B 7/2, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective 2m4f, acts on any; down in weights but inconsistent of late. No win since May 2023 but, following a wind op, not far away in two of last three starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (4/1 +43%)Kool Raoul |
4/1(+43%) | (2) Kool Raoul 4/1, Made too much use of when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m2m4f, acts on soft and good; bounce back needed. No impact in his three handicaps; now 4lb lower than his opening mark; headgear enlisted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (40/1 -82%)Blended Stealth |
40/1(-82%) | (10) Blended Stealth 40/1, Didn't travel but stuck at it when fourth beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle latest; effective 2m-3m on good to soft and good; temperament concerns and others better. 1-39 over hurdles and today's position from 7lb out of the handicap makes things tough. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (8/1 -100%)Tantivy Vavoom |
8/1(-100%) | (5) Tantivy Vavoom 8/1, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test when fourth beaten 21l in a novice hurdle at Newcastle latest; 3m point winner could do better now. Needs big improvement but handicap debut means she requires a second look. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (11/1 -57%)Eric Carmen |
11/1(-57%) | (8) Eric Carmen 11/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of when sixth beaten 25l off 89 last time, same mark here; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on any; bounce back needed. In cracking form until 25l defeat on latest start; maybe good ground was not soft enough. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (17/2 +23%)Wise Move |
17/2(+23%) | (7) Wise Move 17/2, Below form when pulled up in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft; capable but bounce back needed. Second on Boxing Day (2m4f, soft); not so good on next two outings and ran poorly latest. |

GARDENER looks the obvious place to start in division two of this handicap hurdle as he probably won more cosily over C&D last month than the winning distance suggests. This slightly sounder surface shouldn't be a problem for him and the veteran gets the nod ahead of Kool Raoul and Our Laura B, who is expected to get a bit closer to the selection this time.

The two most likely candidates on recent evidence appear to be GARDENER (a C&D winner last time out) and Eric Carmen.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (15/8 +0%)Sense Of Reason |
15/8(+0%) | (2) Sense Of Reason 15/8, Green, jumped abysmally well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow latest; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 10-16f, acts on soft, AW; can do better over hurdles with experience. Safely held on handicap debut but first two hurdles runs were encouraging. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (15/2 -50%)Crackalackin |
15/2(-50%) | (4) Crackalackin 15/2, Did too much too soon in first time blinkers comfortably held in a handicap at Southwell last time; trainer in form; 12f Flat winner could have a future over hurdles. Fair Flat racer who has possibilities at this level if he takes to hurdling. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (66/1 +18%)Somkiyr |
66/1(+18%) | (3) Somkiyr 66/1, Disappointing handicap debut comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton last time; showed promise on Flat in France; lot to prove in this discipline. Won on the Flat in France but has shown very little over hurdles in Britain. |

JAMADA readily has the most convincing form profile and looks the logical choice with Sean Bowen sure to give him every assistance in the saddle. Sense Of Reason has hinted at ability since switching codes but needs another step forward. Therefore, Crackalackin, who was higher rated on the Flat, could be a bigger danger if he takes to hurdles at the first time of asking.

There wasn't much between JAMADA and Sense Of Reason at Lingfield in January but the former looked more threatening.

13/8(+41%) | (2) Gaelic Approach 13/8, Suited by the step up in trip on handicap debut beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 12f, acts on heavy and AW; probably more to come for good yard now back on turf. Advanced his form when runner-up at Wolverhampton latest; up 2lb but well in the mix. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (1/1 +20%)Engross |
1/1(+20%) | (1) Engross 1/1, Improved to get off the mark on handicap debut by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time; effective 8-10f, may get further, acts on AW; progressive sort with more to come now on turf and upped in trip. Big step forward when scoring at Chelmsford; more to offer upped in trip; leading claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/1 -11%)Emma's Letter |
5/1(-11%) | (3) Emma's Letter 5/1, Ran about to form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; top course jockey; returning from a break; stays at least 9f, acts on good to soft and AW; suspicion stamina to prove. In good form, not beaten far when last of four at Southwell latest; tries much longer trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (18/1 +0%)Hengist Pod |
18/1(+0%) | (5) Hengist Pod 18/1, May not have stayed beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 9f on AW; stamina to prove. Only sixth of seven at Wolverhampton last month; needs to step forward on his turf debut. |

ENGROSS got off the mark on his handicap debut at Chelmsford and strikes as the type who could have a lot more to come as a three-year-old this year. Stretching out further in trip can ensure he remains a step ahead of the assessor and he gets the nod ahead of Gaelic Approach, who posted an improved display on his reappearance at Wolverhampton. Emma's Letter is next best.

James Fanshawe's ENGROSS got off to a winning start in handicaps at Chelmsford and this progressive type can make light of a 4lb rise.

1st (5) (9/4 +25%)Nassalam |
9/4(+25%) | (5) Nassalam 9/4, Pulled up after a wind op in a handicap chase at Sandown latest; off a short-break; suited by marathon trips with plenty of give; not the force of old but makes hunter chase debut for new yard. 2023 Welsh National winner; he's very much struggled since but this is vastly easier. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/1 -273%)Whatdeawant |
7/1(-273%) | (7) Whatdeawant 7/1, Didn't have to be at best when winning a point at Friars Haugh by a length last time; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-3m; good chance here returning to rules. Plenty of back-class; good strike-rate in points more recently; one to be interested in. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (6/1 +50%)Settle Down Jill |
6/1(+50%) | (8) Settle Down Jill 6/1, Better effort down in trip when second beaten 5 1/2l in a hunter chase at Carlisle latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on sound surface; good chance if building on latest. Kept on for second in 2m5f hunter chase at Carlisle and she could be involved. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (6) (11/2 +54%)Potters Party |
11/2(+54%) | (6) Potters Party 11/2, Ran to form when 5 1/4l third in a point at Dingley most recent run; visor first time; effective at 2m4f-3m; capable of a good run back under rules. Fairly useful in winter 2024-25; could be involved returning to rules action. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (4) (15/2 +63%)Lunar Contact |
15/2(+63%) | (4) Lunar Contact 15/2, Mistakes, ran to form when second beaten 15l in a hunter chase at Catterick latest; effective 3m, acts on good; could come on for latest. 9l second in this last year; work to do with Brandy McQueen on their clash last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (3/1 -60%)Brandy Mcqueen |
3/1(-60%) | (1) Brandy Mcqueen 3/1, Suited by the good ground, ran to form back over fences when winning a hunter chase at Catterick by 15l last time; effective 3m, acts on good; may have more to offer in hunter chases. Easily won a hunter chase at Catterick last month and holds strong claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (20/1 +29%)Dressedtoimpress |
20/1(+29%) | (2) Dressedtoimpress 20/1, Promising rules debut in a tongue-tie when winning a hunter chase here by 2 1/4l last time; effective at 3m on sound surface; massive absence to overcome. Won maiden hunter chase over C&D in May 2024 but this is his first outing since. |

WHATDEAWANT has been performing well in the point-to-point sphere and makes plenty of appeal back under Rules for this assignment in hunter chase company. He represents a top yard and is taken to very close. Nassalam won the Welsh Grand National in 2023 and has to be taken seriously, while Potters Party and Brandy Mcqueen also need considering for this.

Preference is for BRANDY MCQUEEN who impressed in a hunter chase at Catterick last month. Settle Down Jill may be next best.

7/4(-17%) | (3) On Lovers Walk 7/4, Back to form down in trip when winning a Restricted Point at Paxford by 6l last time; cheekpieces first time; effective at around 2 1/2m; recent point winner, go close if stamina holds up. Fair under rules in Ireland; comfortably won a point on stable debut a week ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (8/13 +51%)Mister Splash |
8/13(+51%) | (2) Mister Splash 8/13, Yard won this last year; ran to form when winning a Conditions Point at Higham by 1 1/2l last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 3m, acts on sound surface; player on rules chase debut. 4-14 in points, including course win last month; likely contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (8/1 -100%)Royal Cave |
8/1(-100%) | (4) Royal Cave 8/1, Below form when fourth beaten 23l in the Open Point at Tranwell latest; effective 3m; point winner but poor in both codes under rules. Surprise winner of a point last month but safely held since; chase debut today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (50/1 -25%)Chapelier |
50/1(-25%) | (1) Chapelier 50/1, 50l third in a novice point at Higham most recent run; poor in that discipline recently and longstanding maiden under rules; hard to recommend. Teenager who has very uninspiring record in points in recent years. |

The winner of three of his last four point-to-points, MISTER SPLASH has been in fine form between the flags and is presented with a good opportunity to extend his winning run. On Lovers Walk got back to winning ways in a restricted point over 2m4f at Paxford last week and has to be of interest, while Royal Cave has stood more racing than Chapelier of late and is the preferred option for third place.

A fair performer under rules in Ireland, ON LOVERS WALK made a pleasing start for his new connections in a recent Paxford point.

2nd (8) (14/1 -75%)Maximum Velocity |
14/1(-75%) | (8) Maximum Velocity 14/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 7f, acts on AW; more needed back on turf. Shaped well when third at Newcastle but ninth at Southwell since; worth another chance. |

11/1(+21%) | (2) Fullstop 11/1, Bit keen, below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Kempton last time; hood first time; effective 6f on good to soft; big, attractive colt, can do better when relaxing. Too free when ninth of ten on handicap debut at Kempton (6f) 12 days ago; hood goes on now. |

Good runner-up over C&D but failed to fire in two subsequent AW runs; needs to bounce back. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (28/1 -27%)Creciente |
28/1(-27%) | (1) Creciente 28/1, Never dangerous down the field in a nursery at Bath most recent; probably suited by 7f and a sound surface; mark is stiff. Ended 2025 with a pair of poor efforts in nurseries at Newbury and Bath in the autumn. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (20/1 +0%)Give Me Sun |
20/1(+0%) | (7) Give Me Sun 20/1, Struggled again beaten 10l in a maiden at Yarmouth last time; bred for middle-distances; should do better but all to prove for now. Cut little ice in a trio of 7f maidens at 2yrs; more required on first go in h'cap company. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (14/1 -65%)Starakova |
14/1(-65%) | (12) Starakova 14/1, Fair run off a break beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Chelmsford last time; stays 7f, acts on AW; entitled to come on from reappearance run. Back on track when fifth at Chelmsford last month; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (33/1 -83%)Shimmering Spirit |
33/1(-83%) | (5) Shimmering Spirit 33/1, Again ran to moderate level beaten 8l in a maiden at Newcastle last time; might do better now handicapping. Modest form in three Newcastle novices; needs switch to h'caps on turf to spark progress. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (9/1 +36%)Hurricane Ann |
9/1(+36%) | (9) Hurricane Ann 9/1, Found little, below form beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; mark easing but needs more. Good fifth at Kempton but raced wide when seventh at Chelmsford since; not written off. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (17) (25/1 0%)Nando's Pride |
25/1(0%) | (17) Nando's Pride 25/1, Probably best effort to date beaten 5l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; cheekpieces first time; stays 9f, probably acts on AW; has looked pretty limited so far. Little promise shown in a handful of AW runs; tried in different headgear for turf debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (15) (25/1 -14%)Petes Diamond |
25/1(-14%) | (15) Petes Diamond 25/1, Ran to current poor level when well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest; trainer in form; off a short-break; small and in poor form. Yet to make the frame in six AW runs; plenty more is required on her turf debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (3) (4/1 +33%)Castlekeely |
4/1(+33%) | (3) Castlekeely 4/1, Struggled again when comfortably held in a novice at Goodwood last time; speed in pedigree; tall colt and may do better now handicapping. Modest for former yard; no surprise to see him now go forward now handicapping for J Owen. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (14) (7/2 -5%)Monk's Hill |
7/2(-5%) | (14) Monk's Hill 7/2, Ran to form when second beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle latest; effective 7f, probably stays 1m, acts on AW; in solid form. Good second at Newcastle 25 days ago; yard going well so she's a player off the same mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (16) (80/1 -186%)Calabrian Soldato |
80/1(-186%) | (16) Calabrian Soldato 80/1, Looked unenthusiastic when beaten 10l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; off a short-break; suited by 5f, acts on AW; irresolute. Ended 2025 with good Chelmsford second but he's failed to fire in three runs this year. |

A trappy handicap finale for punters to solve and just a tentative vote is for MONK'S HILL, who is lightly weighted and comes in here on the back of a career-best effort when second at Newcastle. Space Moon performed a lot better than her latest form figure suggests and is one for the shortlist, while Tickettothestars is another to note.

The vote goes to CASTLEKEELY who showed promise as a 2yo and can get off the mark on his handicap and stable debut.

1st (1) (11/8 +31%)Pantile's Gift |
11/8(+31%) | (1) Pantile's Gift 11/8, Run of race, small step back in right direction beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Chelmsford last time; trainer in form; effective 7-10f, acts on good to soft and AW; needs more and stamina still not fully proven. Could step forward from his reappearance fourth; leading contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (11/1 +21%)Project Kinsman |
11/1(+21%) | (6) Project Kinsman 11/1, Never showed off a break well beaten in a maiden here latest; bred for around 7/8f; plenty to prove. Poor form in three course runs at up to 7f; not a solid option now handicapping. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/2 -100%)Sovereign Bright |
11/2(-100%) | (2) Sovereign Bright 11/2, Ran to form when 8l third in a maiden at Lingfield most recent run; effective 7/8f, acts on good to firm and AW; worth trying over this longer trip. Not progressing but this new, longer trip should suit on paper. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (13/2 +46%)Raven's View |
13/2(+46%) | (4) Raven's View 13/2, Below form back up in trip beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap here last time; only decent run at 6f, bred to get further, acts on AW; big step up in trip an interesting move. Modest form in four course runs but this trip should be much more to his liking. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (11/4 +61%)Meritocratic |
11/4(+61%) | (3) Meritocratic 11/4, Disappointing for no obvious reason beaten 9l in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; returning from a break; effective at 7f, acts on AW; possibly flattered second start. Up in trip for his handicap debut so could well improve; he needs to off this mark though. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (12/1 +14%)Fuzeyya |
12/1(+14%) | (5) Fuzeyya 12/1, Always struggling on handicap debut beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; usually held up; effective 1m on good to soft; needs more upped in trip. Last of five on her seasonal/handicap but should do better today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (33/1 -725%)Due To Shine |
33/1(-725%) | (7) Due To Shine 33/1, Ran to form when 6 1/4l third in a nursery here most recent run; effective 7/8f, further probably suit; needs to improve. In the frame in two nurseries but beaten over 6l on each occasion; improvement necessary. |

PANTILE'S GIFT showed a bit more when fourth at Chelmsford last time and it will be interesting to see if the winner offers that form a timely boost at Leicester. He's worth another go over this trip and makes slightly more appeal than Sovereign Bright, who is back in a handicap following her latest third in a Lingfield maiden. Due To Shine is also noted.

Pantile's Gift should go well but the step up in trip could see RAVEN'S VIEW improve markedly on earlier efforts.

7/2(+46%) | (5) Blue Skies Ahead 7/2, Best work late, confirmed point bumper level after a wind op in a Mares' bumper at Uttoxeter last time; effective at 2m; can again go well. Won a point bumper in 2025; may low-key rules debut last month but the ground was soft. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (10/1 0%)Dan's Allstar |
10/1(0%) | (4) Dan's Allstar 10/1, Improved on debut effort when 8 1/2l third in a maiden point at Cragmore most recent run; off a short-break; effective at 3m in points; can go well on bumper debut. Bought for £20,000 after Irish point third in January; stable quiet in bumpers. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (11/2 +39%)Moorhead |
11/2(+39%) | (8) Moorhead 11/2, Promising debut runner-up beaten 4l in a point bumper at Larkhill only start; effective at 2m on good; brings some promise to rules. Well clear of the third when second of seven in good-ground point bumper six weeks ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (11/8 +54%)Gaelic Heather |
11/8(+54%) | (6) Gaelic Heather 11/8, Some promise on debut runner-up beaten 4 1/2l in a maiden point at Monksgrange only start; returning from long layoff; effective at 3m in points; brings potential to rules. Bought for £50,000 after promising Irish point debut just over a year ago; rules debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (11/2 +39%)Captain Barbossa |
11/2(+39%) | (2) Captain Barbossa 11/2, Born To Sea gelding; half-brother to Cut The Rope, useful at 22f; dam useful at 6f as a 2yo; tough enough task on debut. Half-brother to a bumper winner; stable has bumper winners; market helpful. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (22/1 -83%)Western Games |
22/1(-83%) | (7) Western Games 22/1, 8,000 euros Westerner mare; dam a runner-up over 3m over hurdles; tough enough task on debut and best watched unless market says otherwise. Out of close relative of useful bumper and jumps winner The Cockney Mackem; market helpful. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (11/1 +45%)Cricket Hill Denis |
11/1(+45%) | (3) Cricket Hill Denis 11/1, Improved on debut effort when fourth beaten 8l in a bumper at Wetherby latest; effective at 2m; more needed. Probably flattered by proximity when fourth of five in slowly run race last month. |

Point-to-point second AR AIS ARIS fetched 60,000 pounds at the sales in November and appears to have all the credentials required to make a winning Rules bow. Gaelic Heather also arrives having filled the runner-up spot between the flags when last seen and must be respected, along with Blue Skies Ahead, who could step forward from a satisfactory Uttoxeter effort.

This can go to AR AIS ARIS who finished ahead of Saturday's Aintree bumper fourth Merry Away when second on his Irish point debut.

33/1(-32%) | (13) Pivotal Terms 33/1, Bit keen and lacked pace when comfortably held in a handicap here last time; effective 7f, acts on good and AW; mark may be a bit stiff. Yet to shine for current stable; would want to see market support before getting involved. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (3/1 +81%)Cosmic Clarets |
3/1(+81%) | (4) Cosmic Clarets 3/1, No impact tried in cheekpieces in a nursery at Redcar most recent; top course trainer; suited by 6f and a sound surface; needs bit more in handicaps. Promising start to 2yo season but form dropped off; gelded; down in class for reappearance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (4/1 +20%)Taaklam |
4/1(+20%) | (5) Taaklam 4/1, Ran to current form beaten 3/4l off this mark here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good; capable of better in handicaps. Third over C&D on final run for Ed Walker in October; sold 22,000gns since; interesting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (14/1 +22%)Full Gas |
14/1(+22%) | (9) Full Gas 14/1, Never in it after early interference down the field in a handicap at Pontefract most recent; looks to want 7f, acts on AW; this stiffer 6f should suit. Well beaten in two handicap attempts; best run came here (7f) but others look safer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (11/1 +50%)Carnation Queen |
11/1(+50%) | (8) Carnation Queen 11/1, Below form beaten 6l in a seller at Redcar last time; effective 5/6f, may not get further, acts on good to firm; needs more back in a handicap. Chance if reproducing form of last summer's York win but that was a standout performance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (16/1 +0%)Fille Unique |
16/1(+0%) | (1) Fille Unique 16/1, Below par up in trip off a break beaten 9l in a handicap here last time; top course jockey; effective 5f, suited by sound surface; entitled to come on from return run, 5f may suit better. Drops in class with her reappearance behind her; not fully exposed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (16/1 -14%)Forever Twenty |
16/1(-14%) | (12) Forever Twenty 16/1, Probably outclassed when down the field in a novice at Southwell most recent; usually held up; might do better now handicapping. Improvement essential now handicapping but it's not out of the question; yard in form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (18/1 -157%)Anorah Unleashed |
18/1(-157%) | (11) Anorah Unleashed 18/1, Back to form down in trip beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; trainer in form; effective 6/7f on soft, good and AW; chance if building on latest. Fair 3rd at Kempton 12 days ago; this stiffer test at the trip should suit; not dismissed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (12/1 -33%)Mademoiselle Belle |
12/1(-33%) | (10) Mademoiselle Belle 12/1, Not best of runs late, should have been closer fifth beaten 3l off 59 last time, same mark here; suited by stiff 5/6f, acts on good, soft and AW; needs stiff test/strong pace at sprint trips. 5f win here in February; solid efforts in defeat since; each-way claims again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (7/2 +53%)Northern Tempest |
7/2(+53%) | (3) Northern Tempest 7/2, Lacked pace down in trip when fourth beaten 2l in a novice here latest; returning from a break; effective 6f; can do better now handicapping. Best 2yo run came here (5f) when last seen in November; may do better now handicapping. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (12/1 +0%)Stromness |
12/1(+0%) | (7) Stromness 12/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; seemed to run to form back down in trip beaten 6l in a maiden here last time; off a short-break; effective 6f, may not stay 7f, acts on AW; capable of better now handicapping. More realistic chance now handicapping but this looks a competitive race. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (40/1 -122%)Brain Freeze |
40/1(-122%) | (14) Brain Freeze 40/1, Well beaten and did not really break on terms when fourth beaten 13l in a nursery at Catterick latest; effective 6f, bred to be a miler, acts on fast ground; bit to prove. No improvement for handicapping last autumn; vulnerable on seasonal/AW debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (14/1 +0%)Thornaby Annie |
14/1(+0%) | (2) Thornaby Annie 14/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark here last time; effective 6f, acts on soft and AW; in form, mark fair. Two solid runs in C&D nurseries last October; needs more to take this after six months off. |

MARRA DONNA will be winning a race of this nature sooner rather than later. He was well fancied to strike on his handicap bow at Wolverhampton when seemingly unlucky, and has performed well in defeat in three subsequent starts. With a bit more luck in running he can strike at the expense of Northern Tempest, Taaklam and course winner Mademoiselle Belle.

Taaklam and MARRA DONNA appeal most. This could be the day things finally fall into place for the selection.

2/5(+10%) | (2) Noelan Star 2/5, Quickened clear very takingly when 8 1/2l winner in a novice here on debut; returning from a break; effective 1m on AW; looked quite smart on debut and may defy penalty. Came home 8.5l in front of a next-time-out winner on debut here (1m); leading claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (12/1 +14%)Whernside |
12/1(+14%) | (5) Whernside 12/1, Never in it after a slow start beaten 9 1/4l in a novice here on debut; returning from a break; difficult to fancy. Didn't live up to market billing over 1m here in November; stable also runs Noelean Star. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (10/3 +56%)Horu Kanu |
10/3(+56%) | (6) Horu Kanu 10/3, Did not build on two previous runs beaten 5 1/4l in a novice here last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; returning from long layoff; effective at 7f on good; bit to find. Pick of his three 2yo runs came over this trip; gelded since last seen; each-way shout. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (12/1 -20%)Record Day |
12/1(-20%) | (7) Record Day 12/1, Not without promise on debut beaten 6 1/4l in a novice at Doncaster on debut; effective at 7f on good to soft; should improve. Finished 1l and one place behind Viper on debut; may struggle to reverse placings. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (66/1 -32%)Eagle Thunder |
66/1(-32%) | (4) Eagle Thunder 66/1, Bit wide and found little well beaten in a maiden at Kempton only start; type to do better when handicapping. Tailed off in a 1m maiden at Kempton last month; should do much better at some point. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (40/1 +60%)Balmoral Boy |
40/1(+60%) | (3) Balmoral Boy 40/1, Some promise on debut albeit beaten 23l in a novice; effective at 8f on AW; improvement needed but possible. Beaten 23l into third on debut last month (1m); a big step forward is required. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (33/1 -83%)Leelawadee |
33/1(-83%) | (10) Leelawadee 33/1, Lope Y Fernandez filly; half-sister to Ozymandis, very useful at 8f; dam very useful at 5f; could have a say on debut. Half-sister to three winners out of a winning sprinter; perhaps a longer-term prospect. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (150/1 -50%)Wee Dresser |
150/1(-50%) | (11) Wee Dresser 150/1, Never figured on debut well beaten in a maiden here; bred to want 1m; should improve from experience of first run. 150-1 and ran to just a modest level in a C&D maiden 32 days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (22/1 +45%)Tzarmaggedon |
22/1(+45%) | (8) Tzarmaggedon 22/1, Sergei Prokofiev gelding; half-brother to Chief Mankato, very useful at 6f; dam very useful at 6f as a 2yo; market should guide on debut. Closely related to 6f winner Chief Mankato (RPR 92); bred to have a future; check betting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (80/1 -142%)Billyjoegold |
80/1(-142%) | (1) Billyjoegold 80/1, Best work late, some promise on debut when third beaten 12l in a novice here; effective at 7f on AW; improvement needed. Ran okay on last month's C&D debut but others look more likely candidates today. |

Look no further than NOELAN STAR. He went into plenty of notebooks when making a striking debut here in December and, on the evidence of that impressive display, the three-year-old should be able to cope with a penalty in this novice heat. The others are probably playing for second and Horu Kanu and Viper look to be the pick of them.

Viper rates a likely improver but NOELAN STAR looked good here on debut and he can make light of his penalty.

6/4(+75%) | (6) Evening Saigon 6/4, Well beaten in the end when down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; in good form prior; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good and AW; more to come back on a sounder surface. Unexposed; good win a Chelmsford in October; ground excuse latest; leading contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/1 -20%)Albasheer |
9/1(-20%) | (2) Albasheer 9/1, Best work late stepping back up in trip when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here latest; effective 5/6f, acts on any but best on sound surface; chance if building on latest down slightly in weights. On a dangerous mark; second run back from a long absence was encouraging; not ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (11/2 +27%)Strike Red |
11/2(+27%) | (7) Strike Red 11/2, Ran to current level when beaten 9l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; top course trainer; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; might need this. On a dangerous mark but his record fresh doesn't suggest this will be his day. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (40/1 -60%)Cajetan |
40/1(-60%) | (10) Cajetan 40/1, Never in it from off the pace when down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; blinkers first time; effective at 6f on good and AW; hard to fancy on recent evidence. Inconsistent but on a dangerous mark and he is now tried in new headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (11/1 -38%)Toyotomi |
11/1(-38%) | (1) Toyotomi 11/1, Never involved when beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Goodwood last time; effective 5/6f, seems to need cut; struggling since move from France. Strong French form; promising Goodwood run when last seen; gelded since; interesting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (14/1 -211%)Wicket Keeper |
14/1(-211%) | (4) Wicket Keeper 14/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark here last time; effective 6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; needs more off this mark for the win. Good fourth (best of far-side group) on stable debut 17 days ago; solid claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (6/1 0%)Paddy's Day |
6/1(0%) | (5) Paddy's Day 6/1, Didn't get home upped in trip beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; tongue-tie first time; suited by 5f, acts on AW; might need holding on to for longer over this trip. Six 5f wins here in 2025; rarely seen at 6f nowadays; tongue tie now reached for. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (13/2 -86%)Grant Wood |
13/2(-86%) | (8) Grant Wood 13/2, Best work late, ran to form off new mark fourth beaten 3l off 80 last time, 4lb higher here; effective 6f, acts on a sound surface; new mark asks more again. Two C&D wins this year; fourth at Wolverhampton latest (strong form); solid contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (66/1 -164%)William Dewhirst |
66/1(-164%) | (9) William Dewhirst 66/1, Too keen and well below form on return well beaten in a handicap here latest; in good form prior; effective 6/7f on AW; should come on for latest. Fine form in the 2024/25 AW season; well beaten after an absence last month; vulnerable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (10/1 +17%)The Caltonian |
10/1(+17%) | (3) The Caltonian 10/1, Never in it from off the pace when 13th beaten 9 1/2l off 93 last time, same mark here; off a short-break; effective 5-7f, all wins on AW; bounce back needed. C&D win in January brings him right into it; subsequent 5f run was a shocker. |

GRANT WOOD has won two of his last three starts and might be worth sticking with for now while he's clearly on good terms with himself. Both wins came at this venue so the return to this track following his latest Wolverhampton fourth should suit. There are other interesting contenders in here, including Wicket Keeper, Paddy's Day and Evening Saigon.

A good race in which the unexposed EVENING SAIGON (nap) can resume his progress at the main expense of Grant Wood and Toyotomi.

11/10(-38%) | (2) Eddaari 11/10, Ran to form when second beaten a neck in a novice here latest; returning from a break; effective at 8f on a sound surface; strong chance in this. Three encouraging 2yo runs, including C&D; sets the standard and should make a bold bid. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/8 +41%)Far Far Out |
13/8(+41%) | (3) Far Far Out 13/8, Kingman colt; dam smart at 12f, being Listed placed in France; trainer in form and this one is afforded maximum respect on debut. Dam a well-related 1m4f winner in France (RPR 99); looks the part on paper; check betting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 +60%)Master Of Entropy |
8/1(+60%) | (5) Master Of Entropy 8/1, Disappointing debut well beaten in a novice at Haydock only start; this is his second run after a wind op; hard to recommend. Didn't live up to market billing on 2yo debut; wind op since; better may be forthcoming. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 -20%)Sovereign Bay |
9/1(-20%) | (7) Sovereign Bay 9/1, Looked green but ran to form when 5l third in a novice at Lingfield most recent run; hood first time; effective 8f, acts on AW; tall gelding, more to come as matures mentally. 2nd over C&D on debut; no progress on second start; now tried in a hood; still early days. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 -100%)Showcasing Star |
14/1(-100%) | (6) Showcasing Star 14/1, Bit below debut level but again showed ability when second beaten 14l in a novice here latest; stays 9f, acts on AW; should improve when upped in trip and needs more to win this. Runner-up in two runs last month but neither piece of form is especially compelling. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 -52%)Too Darn Spicy |
50/1(-52%) | (8) Too Darn Spicy 50/1, Touch disappointing when comfortably held in a maiden here last time; top course trainer; probably wants 8-10f; open to improvement but perhaps do better once handicapping. Some promise in two course runs last month but she needs a good step forward to take this. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (100/1 -203%)Alembic |
100/1(-203%) | (1) Alembic 100/1, Improved on modest debut albeit comfortably held in a novice at Kempton last time; bred for a least 8f; looks one for handicaps over further, so might still struggle here. Down the field in two 1m runs this spring; middle-distance handicaps beckon. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (300/1 -355%)Heathers Feather |
300/1(-355%) | (4) Heathers Feather 300/1, 1,000gns Space Blues gelding; half-brother to Courageous Knight, smart at 7f as a 2yo; dam smart at 9f; could do better but up against it here. 1,000gns 3yo; useful pedigree but yard not renowned for winning newcomers. |

EDDAARI should take some stopping on the pick of his form, which includes a neck second here on his all-weather bow in November. Entitled to have improved from two to three years, a big performance looks assured. Far Far Out is an interesting newcomer for a top yard, though, and the market may tell us more. Keep an eye on Showcasing Star too.

Eddaari sets the standard and has C&D form but FAR FAR OUT is a well-connected newcomer who can make a winning debut.

11/4(+31%) | (2) Barleybrown 11/4, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark here last time; suited by 1m on AW; consistent at lower level than formerly, can go well again. Minor honours over C&D in his latest three outings; probably a leading player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (3/1 +75%)The Cookstown Cafu |
3/1(+75%) | (1) The Cookstown Cafu 3/1, Didn't get home beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time; returning from a break; effective 7/8f, acts on any; mark easing but needs more. Hasn't won since October 2024 (C&D) and had a quiet end to last season. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

4/1(+67%) | (4) Mercurius Power 4/1, Below form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective 8f, acts on a sound surface, all recent form on AW; poor strike-rate but fairly treated if bouncing back. Regular 1m placings here and at Southwell since September; form dipped on latest outing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 -11%)Book Of Life |
5/1(-11%) | (5) Book Of Life 5/1, Best work late up in trip when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; usually held up; effective 7-10f, acts on AW; can go well again. Rare winner (2-37) but runner-up three times in 2026, including over C&D. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 +50%)Berkshire Phantom |
6/1(+50%) | (6) Berkshire Phantom 6/1, Didn't get home back up in trip beaten 7l in a handicap at Southwell last time; returning from a break; effective 8-12f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; competitive mark still and drop in trip might suit. Won last July (turf) and is often thereabouts; off 106 days but not totally ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (6/1 -20%)Teggy Lasso |
6/1(-20%) | (7) Teggy Lasso 6/1, Ran to form tried in cheekpieces when 5 1/4l third in a handicap at Southwell most recent run; tongue-tie first time; effective at 8-10f on AW; can go well again. Now tongue tied; lightly raced and competitively handicapped on his best form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 -88%)Trais Fluors |
16/1(-88%) | (8) Trais Fluors 16/1, Bit keen but couldn't get going in time when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap here latest; effective 7/8f, prefers a sound surface; bounce back needed but on competitive mark. 12yo; C&D win in January; 1lb lower today but operating at a lower level in recent starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (18/1 -350%)Lady Delila |
18/1(-350%) | (10) Lady Delila 18/1, Not best of runs but hit the line well upped in trip when second beaten a neck in a classified race at Wolverhampton latest; visor first time; effective 8-10f, acts on soft, good and AW; can again go well. 0-17 overall but competitive in classifieds on last three outings; new headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (28/1 -75%)Falaise Blanc |
28/1(-75%) | (11) Falaise Blanc 28/1, Found little, below form dropped in trip down the field in a classified race here most recent; effective 10-14f, acts on soft, good and AW; drop in trip an interesting move. 1m2f win here (made all) last year; needs to leave reappearance effort way behind him. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (33/1 -175%)Sassy Glory |
33/1(-175%) | (9) Sassy Glory 33/1, Below form upped in the trip, may have needed run when down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; effective 8-12f on a sound surface; drop in trip a plus. Breakthrough win over C&D in September was her 23rd career start; not so hot since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (33/1 -50%)Rocket Rod |
33/1(-50%) | (3) Rocket Rod 33/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap here most recent; effective 7/8f on AW; bounce back needed. Absent for almost two years before his last of ten here (50-1) in February. |

Lady Delila is one to note sporting a first-time visor and similar sentiments apply to Teggy Lasso, who is tried in a first-time tongue-tie. BARLEYBROWN could be the one to beat, though, as he brings winning C&D form to the table and was back to something like his best here last time when finishing a close-up third. This might be the time to catch him.

17-race maiden Lady Delila makes the shortlist but BARLEYBROWN showed up well in a Class 5 handicap over C&D last time.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 -14%)Darlo Pride |
4/1(-14%) | (4) Darlo Pride 4/1, Best work late, ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective at 5f, acts on AW; below last winning mark and can go well again. Back to form with a close 3rd at Southwell last month; C&D winner; one to take seriously. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +31%)Herakles |
9/2(+31%) | (5) Herakles 9/2, Best work late beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; suited by 5f, acts on soft and AW; in form, can again go well. Three of his four wins have come over C&D; arrives in good form; leading contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 -22%)Blue Force |
11/2(-22%) | (3) Blue Force 11/2, Best work late beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5/6f, almost all form on AW; can again go well off a competitive mark. Finished race off well for 3rd at Wolverhampton nine days ago; 1lb lower today; considered. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (13/2 +70%)Rock Of England |
13/2(+70%) | (6) Rock Of England 13/2, Bit keen, didn't get home back up in trip down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; suited by 5f and a sound surface; consistent in the main and drop to this trip a plus. Should come on for last month's reappearance; return to 5f a plus too; stable run three. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 +36%)Ganesha |
9/1(+36%) | (7) Ganesha 9/1, Below form when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; wide draw; off a short-break; suited by 5f, acts on any; not at best of late. Runner-up twice over C&D in December; fair mark but not at best in last three starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/1 +36%)Bonito Cavalo |
9/1(+36%) | (10) Bonito Cavalo 9/1, Below form back up trip when beaten 9l in a handicap here last time; effective 5-7f, best on AW; out of form since returning from layoff. Penultimate run was more promising but backward step latest; others look safer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 +44%)Brian The Snail |
10/1(+44%) | (8) Brian The Snail 10/1, Too keen, never in it from off the pace beaten 8l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; in good form prior; usually held up; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; tricky customer who does his own thing, dangerous on a going day. Veteran who never featured at Wolverhampton nine days ago; opposable back at 5f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (25/1 +0%)Zuffolo |
25/1(+0%) | (9) Zuffolo 25/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap here most recent; returning from a break; suited by 5f, acts on any except soft; not at best of late. C&D win off 1lb lower last September; ended 2025 quietly; opposable back from a break. |

There are plenty of C&D winners going to post for this sprint finale and what can only be described as a tentative vote is for HOVER ON THE WIND, who showed a bit more when third at Southwell latest and won't mind switching to this track. Dc Cogent and Darlo Pride also performed well on their latest outings at Southwell and command respect.

Hover On The Wind and Herakles are high on the list but DARLO PRIDE is taken to build on his promising Southwell run.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
