Clear promise in two runs this winter and he's a big player on this step up to 1m4f.

RPRs in the 50s in two runs here late last year; needs a transformation after a break.
4	3 4th (3) (3/1 +40%) John Galt	3 3/1(+40%)	(3) John Galt 3/1, Improved from debut but looked in need of stiffer test when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in a novice here latest; effective 11-12f, acts on AW; promise both starts so far, step back up in trip a plus and sets the standard Promising fourth here (1m3f) in January and he's open to more progress back up in trip.
5th	9 5th (9) (250/1 -100%) Glamerous	250 250/1(-100%)	(9) Glamerous 250/1, Outclassed when fourth beaten 42l in a novice at Southwell latest; bred to stay; small, bit to prove after beaten out of sight second start. Struggled at big prices in two runs (1m3f) this year and he can only be watched.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 +29%) Havana's Tune	20 20/1(+29%)	(7) Havana's Tune 20/1, Outpaced on debut well beaten in a novice at Southwell only start; tongue-tie first time; bred for a mile; open to improvement. Always in rear and was long way behind Charles Darnay on Southwell debut (1m) last month.

Although unable to justify favouritism when finishing third over 1m at Southwell, CHARLES DARNAY still makes plenty of appeal upped further in distance. The son of Planteur boasts plenty of stamina in his pedigree and this extra half-mile may prove fruitful. John Galt has come home in fourth on both outings to date and might serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Cranachan.

This can go to CHARLES DARNAY who has the best form and is open to progress on this step up to 1m4f. John Galt is the main danger.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/9 +28%) Sea Thrift	0.444444 4/9(+28%)	(2) Sea Thrift 4/9, Outpaced but ran to form tried in tongue-tie when second at Sedgefield latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on any; still on good mark, big chance. In-form contender who may still have further progress in her at an ordinary level.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 -23%) Flash In The Park	2 2/1(-23%)	(1) Flash In The Park 2/1, Yard won this last year; never in it from off the pace when fourth beaten 34l in a handicap chase here latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; likes it here but needs more than last time. Lacks consistency but scored over C&D in December and has possibilities on that form.
3	3 3rd (3) (18/1 -50%) Model Approach	18 18/1(-50%)	(3) Model Approach 18/1, No-show from off the pace on chase debut comfortably held in a handicap chase at Ludlow last time; effective around 2m, wants a sound surface; hard to make a case for. Record for current yard leaves a lot to be desired; second attempt over fences.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

Flash In The Park tends to perform quite well at Southwell and is now just 2lb higher than when successful over C&D in December. His subsequent couple of efforts haven't been great, though, whereas SEA THRIFT arrives at the top of her game after finding only one too strong when attempting to supplement a Plumpton triumph at Sedgefield. In fact, Daisy Hitchins' mare has been a model of consistency and progressive throughout the campaign and has struck up a good partnership with Robbie David. Hitchins' former inmate Model Approach has shown next to nothing since joining Evan Williams.

The highest points are awarded to SEA THRIFT, an in-form mare who should have her own way up front.

14:25 Leopardstown 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (9/4 -13%) Vitorio Piel	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(4) Vitorio Piel 9/4, Ran to form when 3 1/4l third in a maiden hurdle at Thurles most recent run; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on heavy to soft and good to yielding; can go well again dropped in trip. 2m5f form of late solid; better suited at the weights here an drops in trip.
2	5 2nd (5) (8/11 +55%) Grey Jude	0.727273 8/11(+55%)	(5) Grey Jude 8/11, Improved again albeit just outstayed late when second beaten 2l in an auction hurdle at Naas latest; effective over 2m-2m3f, acts on soft to heavy and good to yielding; progressing and has a chance here back at 2m. Just outstayed late on over 2m3f at Naas on similar ground; back in trip and big player.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/1 -50%) Chichester Park	6 6/1(-50%)	(1) Chichester Park 6/1, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Thurles last time; tongue-tie first time; effective at 2m, acts on yielding to soft and good; may do better over further. Maiden win ordinary enough form; tongue-tie now fitted and needs to improve.
4	7 4th (7) (40/1 -60%) Somersby Roost	40 40/1(-60%)	(7) Somersby Roost 40/1, Didn't quite see it out well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; effective 2m-2m4f with cut; drop in trip might help. Three maiden runs ordinary and seems a more likely one for handicaps in due course.
5th	6 5th (6) (300/1 -200%) Mister Persistence	300 300/1(-200%)	(6) Mister Persistence 300/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; regressive sort who is hard to fancy. Exposed maiden with little evident chance; cheekpieces added.
6th	2 6th (2) (13/2 -8%) Ryan's Son	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(2) Ryan's Son 13/2, Improved to get off the mark on hurdles debut when winning a maiden event at Roscommon by 3l last time; effective at 2m on good; more to come. Roscommon maiden win came on good; back from 8 months off; contrasting ground conditions.

GREY JUDE is consistent, has kept useful company so far, and ran well when conceding 2lb to Raise You Up at Naas last month. He likes this distance and has form on testing ground. Vitorio Piel was a debut Punchestown Festival bumper winner last May and while it is disappointing that he hasn't won over hurdles since, he had a veterinary excuse after his hurdling debut. He might ideally prefer further, but should get involved. Chichester Park was well held in a Thurles handicap, but has solid place claims on previous form.

No great strength in depth here and likely an opportunity for GREY JUDE (nap) to record a second hurdles win now dropped back in trip

14:25 Leopardstown 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:37 Kempton (Class 6) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (9/2 +55%) Houdini Miss	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(3) Houdini Miss 9/2, Made too much use of chasing high-class winner comfortably held in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on AW; in and out of performer of late. Sole attempt at Kempton resulted in her only success (off 3lb lower); could go well.
2	5 2nd (5) (2/1 +50%) Faithful Dream	2 2/1(+50%)	(5) Faithful Dream 2/1, Brief threat but didn't quite get home on stiff track though third run after wind op when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Newcastle latest; effective 6f, acts on AW; return to a sharper track may help. Penultimate effort puts him in the picture; latest race didn't pan out favourably.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/1 -20%) Real Gold	9 9/1(-20%)	(8) Real Gold 9/1, Made a lot of use of from poor draw and good effort beaten 1/2l off this mark at Lingfield last time; effective at 6f, acts on AW; consistent. Maiden who is proving consistent, close third at Lingfield most recently.
4	4 4th (4) (7/2 -100%) Life After Love	3.5 7/2(-100%)	(4) Life After Love 7/2, Scored by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell penultimate start; bit too much to do, arguably should have won second beaten a neck off 58 last time, same mark here; suited by 5f, acts on AW; could make amends for latest. Ran well at Lingfield last week when bidding for a double; open to further progress.
5th	2 5th (2) (20/1 -150%) Hurricane Ann	20 20/1(-150%)	(2) Hurricane Ann 20/1, Game and back to better form beaten 5l in a novice here last time; effective 7f, acts on AW; may have reached level but opening mark looks fair. Ran with some promise at Kempton last time; open to improvement on handicap debut.
6th	1 6th (1) (33/1 -106%) Euphonia	33 33/1(-106%)	(1) Euphonia 33/1, Poor effort for no obvious reason comfortably held in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective at 6f, may not stay further, acts on AW; erratic. Needs improvement to defy top weight and may be more interesting when back on turf.
7th	9 7th (9) (9/1 -38%) Magnificent Mel	9 9/1(-38%)	(9) Magnificent Mel 9/1, Back to form down in trip but conceded first run beaten a neck off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; wide draw; effective 6f, acts on AW; still a maiden but fair mark if building on latest. Went down by only a neck at Wolverhampton on Friday; inconsistent otherwise.
8th	7 8th (7) (13/2 +28%) Saeculamation	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(7) Saeculamation 13/2, Scored by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Chelmsford penultimate start; didn't quite see it out made plenty of use of fifth beaten 4l off 54 last time, same mark here; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; seems to have found level. Last two attempts on Polytrack represent his best handicap form.
9th	6 9th (6) (40/1 +0%) Amakhala	40 40/1(+0%)	(6) Amakhala 40/1, Made too much use of up in trip off a long break well beaten in a handicap here latest; yet to show any really measurable form. Far from convincing on form.

Life After Love supplemented a breakthrough victory at Southwell with a close-up second at Lingfield and another bold bid looks likely. However, it could be worth taking a chance on MAGNIFICENT MEL, who caught the eye with her finishing effort when going down by a neck at Wolverhampton and she may be ready to open her account. Faithful Dream is the pick of the remainder.

Another chance is given to FAITHFUL DREAM. Second pick is Life After Love.

14:45 Southwell (Class 4) 24f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (15/8 -15%) Smurfette	1.875 15/8(-15%)	(6) Smurfette 15/8, May have found ground too soft when 14l third in a handicap chase at Market Rasen most recent run; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on any but ideally suited by decent ground; mark fair and can go well. Proving consistent and she is 1-1 at Southwell (scored comfortably); respected.
2	2 2nd (2) (14/1 -65%) Storminhome	14 14/1(-65%)	(2) Storminhome 14/1, Mistakes, outpaced, below form down the field in a handicap chase at Windsor most recent; blinkers first time; effective 2m3f-3m, acts on soft and good; inconsistent over fences. Fitting of blinkers may prompt a resurgence; well treated on best chase efforts.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 +43%) Solar System	2 2/1(+43%)	(1) Solar System 2/1, Unsuited by way race developed and never threatened when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ascot most recent; usually held up; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; brings some promise to fences. Record of 51211 in Class 4 handicap hurdles; interesting back at this level on chase debut.
4	3 4th (3) (11/2 +27%) Lilting Verse	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(3) Lilting Verse 11/2, Never threatened when well beaten in a handicap chase at Chepstow latest; usually held up; effective 3m, acts on soft and good to soft; bounce back needed. Solid record off current mark includes a second-place finish in this race last year.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/2 -38%) Kayce Dutton	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(4) Kayce Dutton 11/2, Found nil, disappointing off revised mark when pulled up in a handicap chase latest; effective over 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; inconsistent. Disappointing when bidding to take his Market Rasen record to 3-3; 0-6 at Southwell.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 -38%) Jasmin De Cotte	11 11/1(-38%)	(5) Jasmin De Cotte 11/1, Unsuited by soft ground when down the field in a handicap chase at Chepstow most recent; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; inconsistent but unexposed for new yard. Has possibilities off current mark provided he revives; third start for new yard.

SMURFETTE went really close when returning from a lengthy spell on the sidelines at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve, but couldn't build on that at Market Rasen. She was possibly feeling the effects of her comeback so is worth sticking with after another month to recover. Kayce Dutton was most disappointing when attempting to complete a Market Rasen double, but can't be written off just yet. Better is possible from Solar System now he tackles the larger obstacles for the first time.

Interesting chase debutant SOLAR SYSTEM (nap) has a strong record in this grade and gets the vote ahead of Lilting Verse.

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (7/4 +7%) Playtime	1.75 7/4(+7%)	(10) Playtime 7/4, Improved when 17l third in a maiden hurdle at Thurles most recent run; effective 2m, acts on soft and yielding; can go well again. Flat winner was an eye-catching third in third m'den run last time; firmly in the mix.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +23%) Ehteyat	5 5/1(+23%)	(4) Ehteyat 5/1, Ran to form back on the Flat when beaten 4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective at 2m on heavy; more to come over hurdles although may do better when handicapping. Three-time Flat winner was an eye-catching third on second hurdle start; big player.
3	8 3rd (8) (5/6 -4%) Petit Secret	0.833333 5/6(-4%)	(8) Petit Secret 5/6, Promising debut under rules when winning a 4yo bumper at Fairyhouse by a head last time; effective at 2m on soft; looks a nice recruit to hurdles for top yard but has a huge absence to overcome. Unseen since rules' debut bumper win in 2023; huge player if retaining ability.
4	6 4th (6) (16/1 0%) Leni's Law	16 16/1(0%)	(6) Leni's Law 16/1, Bit below debut level when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time; effective 2m4f, acts on soft and yielding; could progress a little yet and is dropping in trip. Fourth on debut despite 100-1 odds; faded into sixth at Thurles last time; place chance.
5th	5 5th (5) (40/1 -150%) Keep Em Quite	40 40/1(-150%)	(5) Keep Em Quite 40/1, Ran to form when 15l third in a maiden point at Turtulla most recent run; effective at 3m in points; brings potential to rules. A close third in Nov' was best of four point outings; will need to up game to feature here.
6th	14 6th (14) (200/1 -100%) Two Can Plan	200 200/1(-100%)	(14) Two Can Plan 200/1, Found little, again ran to a moderate level dropped in trip down the field in a maiden hurdle at Thurles most recent; tongue-tie first time; up against it once more. Pulled up on debut at Tramore and last of 18 at Thurles last time; ruled out.
7th	2 7th (2) (11/1 +45%) Cock And Bull	11 11/1(+45%)	(2) Cock And Bull 11/1, Improved on initial hurdles effort albeit comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Navan last time; trainer in form; effective at 2m with cut; more to come although may do better when handicapping. Four-time British Flat winner; well beaten in both hurdle starts; may prefer better ground.
8th	7 8th (7) (80/1 -142%) Lord De Choisel	80 80/1(-142%)	(7) Lord De Choisel 80/1, 26,000 euros Great Pretender gelding; brother to Gipsy De Choisel, smart at 16f; could have a say in a weak enough race on debut. Great Pretender gelding fetched 26,000euros as a 3yo; others look more likely.
9th	16 9th (16) (80/1 +20%) Mayor Of Maghera	80 80/1(+20%)	(16) Mayor Of Maghera 80/1, Never competitive on first run over hurdles well beaten in a maiden event at Fairyhouse latest; effective at 8f on the Flat; improvement needed. Limited enough on Flat, winning once; 150-1 and tailed off for hurdle/stable debut.

10th	1 10th (1) (250/1 -279%) Calm Flight Ahead	250 250/1(-279%)	(1) Calm Flight Ahead 250/1, No worthwhile form in points, pulling up again last time, and he has all to prove on rules debut. Failed to complete three points; hard to see him making an impact on that basis.
11th	9 11th (9) (125/1 -56%) Playing The Field	125 125/1(-56%)	(9) Playing The Field 125/1, Poor debut over hurdles down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recent; off a short-break; plenty to prove for now. Moderate point form and never involved on rules' debut; likely to need more time.
12th	15 12th (15) (300/1 -100%) Urbs Intacta Manet	300 300/1(-100%)	(15) Urbs Intacta Manet 300/1, Again ran to a poor level when pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest; all to prove for now and low-grade handicap will be more suitable. Unsighted in opening maidens and pulled up last time; hard to recommend.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (150/1 -275%) Toms One Of Many	150 150/1(-275%)	(13) Toms One Of Many 150/1, Vadamos gelding; dam placed in 2m hurdles; makes no appeal on pedigree and others look much stronger. Third foal; dam placed in 2m hurdles; unlikely to make immediate impact.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (300/1 -275%) Cornelious Ab	300 300/1(-275%)	(3) Cornelious Ab 300/1, Again ran to a poor level when pulled up in a maiden point at Cragmore latest; all to prove on debut under rules. Tailed off in only point-to-point start of seven in which he completed; very unlikely.

PETIT SECRET has a big layoff to overcome, but was smart in 2023 and contests an ordinary maiden on his reappearance. A well-bred half-brother to four black-type performers, he showed promise before falling at the second-last in a point-to-point and, at Fairyhouse in December 2023, beat subsequent Grade 1 runner-up Bleu De Vassy and high-class stayer Ma Shantou in a bumper. Ex-Flat performer Playtime has reasonable recent form but is vulnerable to a smart type, while Ehteyat's Thurles placing in January reads very well.

Making his return from an 820-day absence, PETIT SECRET was a debut bumper winner in 2023 and is a huge player if retaining his ability

Triple 7f winner but he has an uninspiring record over sprint trips; mixed messages.
8th	5 8th (5) (16/1 -45%) Bang On The Bell	16 16/1(-45%)	(5) Bang On The Bell 16/1, Never threatened having missed the break beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; suited by 5f, acts on AW; lost form of late, bounce back needed.

A return to this venue proved just the tonic for BIG BARD when holding on to score towards the end of January. A 2lb nudge up the ratings looks workable for the veteran and a 10th career victory may beckon. Stable debutant Sub Thirteen arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Southwell and a change of scenery could bring about some improvement. He is feared most, ahead of Twilight Madness.

The vote goes to eight-time AW winner TWILIGHT MADNESS, who is on a workable mark and was a good third at Wolverhampton last Monday.

JEFFERY'S CROSS had the misfortune to bump into a potential star of this division when left trailing in Barton Snow's wake at Ludlow. There was a worrying moment immediately after that race but, as long as he's fully recovered, Dan Skelton's 10-year-old can be rewarded for a string of fine efforts in defeat. Java Point made a successful beginning to his hunter chase career, also at Ludlow, and is officially rated 2lb superior to the selection so has to be feared. Camino Rocio is the pick of the other two.

On these terms JEFFERY'S CROSS has a good chance of doubling his tally in the hunter chase sphere. Java Point is the biggest threat.

EL FABIOLO was top-class in his day and although he was well held in the Irish Champion Hurdle, he drops in grade and should take all the beating. Conqueror of Jonbon in the 2023 Arkle at Cheltenham, poor jumping proved costly in his later chasing career but he returned in December to score at Punchestown. Eight-time winner Maxxum retains plenty of ability, but would prefer a stiffer test of stamina. Soir De Garde has nice ability, but hasn't raced since scoring on his jumping debut at Tramore last April and faces a tough task on his reappearance.

This is all about EL FABIOLO who was a smooth winner reverted to hurdles at Punchestown and is well treated by race conditions

It was only a matter of time before LADY DORA MAE broke through judged on her improved Lingfield display second time up, and she did the business at Southwell quite readily. Going handicapping now off what looks a workable mark, she can continue on an upward curve for a top trainer/jockey combination. Stay Salty won't go down without a fight and looked a nice prospect himself when winning at Chelmsford, while Dance Fantasy is steadily improving and also commands attention.

A tricky race involving three handicap newcomers but recent Southwell winner LADY DORA MAE gets the vote ahead of Stay Salty.

A drop in distance didn't see Edith Pelham in her best light when finishing a well-beaten sixth at Market Rasen and the return to further should result in an improved display. She must enter calculations, but AFANCY GETAWAY rates as the most solid proposition. Ben Pauling's mare arrives on the back of a good second at Ludlow and a similar performance may prove sufficient. Amelia's Star and Shotgun Shirley are others of interest.

The vote goes to SHOTGUN SHIRLEY who, on breeding, appears likely to do better still. Afancy Getaway is second choice.

KRABAT is an 11-year-old who has yet to win over timber, but is ideally suited by testing ground and has been running well recently. Although he has been beaten in 23 previous hurdle attempts, he has been placed in 10 of those and scored over fences at Limerick in December. He is rated 7lb lower in this sphere and ran well at Gowran last month. Chiefs Kingdom is a 16-race maiden and while he ran well at Leopardstown over Christmas, he would prefer better ground. Harpy Eagle is another maiden and his best placings have also come on a sound surface, but he wasn't beaten too far at Punchestown last month.

Very tricky and market signals crucial. At this stage, the 11yo KRABAT appeals most following his runner-up finish last time

Course scorer Bold Suitor is very much a player on the pick of last year's form, but a 151-day absence is a slight concern and preference is for ICONIC TIMES. Also a previous Kempton winner, the four-year-old posted an improved effort at Lingfield recently and is well worth another chance over this trip. Keep an eye on Mission Command too.

Seven-time AW winner BOLD SUITOR was in good form in the autumn and is a big player if he can pick up where he left off.

TREAD CAREFULLY took a step forward when second over C&D and this looks a golden opportunity for him to open his account. An official rating of 116 suggests the five-year-old should take plenty of beating at this level, with the main danger forecast to come from Nice One Eric. Ben Pauling's inmate should find this easier than his two previous outings over timber and is open to improvement. Collanisi may fare best of the remainder.

Triple silver medallist TREAD CAREFULLY has his best chance of picking up a gold. Nice One Eric is second pick.

Killarney winner last summer but opposable on more recent efforts.

THE WALLPARK showed much more over fences last time and may be up to landing this competitive handicap. The eight-year-old was a high-class hurdler, finishing third in last year's Stayers' Hurdle, but his form over fences wasn't great until he chased home Oscars Brother in Grade 2 company at Navan. He looks attractive here off a mark of 142. Gorgeous Tom has run well in a couple of outings this season and is an obvious danger. His fourth in the Coral Gold Cup was solid and he races off 2lb lower now. Fishery Lane was no match for stablemate Salvator Mundi at Thurles, but could play a bigger role now in handicap company.

Preference is for GORGEOUS TOM on the back of a fine Newbury effort and who handles the conditions

It's hard to ignore the claims of SPANISH VOICE, who hasn't looked back since his third on debut at Kempton in December 2024, winning two on the bounce. The son of Lope De Vega takes a step up in trip on his handicap bow and he will prove a tough nut to crack. Dramatic Star only found one too good in a warmer contest at Southwell in November and has to be respected, despite being 2lb higher. Whitcombe Rockstar is another to note.

Top of the list is DRAMATIC STAR (nap), who had a near-miss at Southwell last time and is only 2lb higher on this drop back in grade.

CLASSICAL STING's jumping has proved costly on his last two chase outings and a switch to timber looks a shrewd move. The six-year-old has a 4lb lower mark in this discipline, with the introduction of cheekpieces taken to sharpen him up. Lone Soldier is also reverting to the smaller obstacles and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Steel Soldier, who arrives on the back of a decent third at Huntingdon.

The Skelton-trained BEORMA appears likely to improve and will be particularly interesting if the market speaks favourably.

BELLE OF KT leaps off the page following a pair of placed efforts at this track last month. Her latest performance, when upped to 1m6f, was encouraging and there could be even more improvement to come now the lightly-raced five-year-old tackles the extended 2m. There are a few C&D winners in here to consider, most notably Billy Bathgate and Queensland Boy.

Stan Moore's BELLE OF KT has been shaping as though her turn is near and is given the vote in the hope this new trip suits.

ONETHREEFIVENOTOUT may be worth a shot after a little break. The Milan gelding had his jumping issues late last year, but looks on a competitive mark if he can overcome that. He was a staying-on second on his first outing for Gordon Elliott at Down Royal in November and was a well-backed favourite when last seen at Navan in mid-December. Promontory was no match for Rokathir at Navan last month but it was a nice run in second and, off only 1lb higher, he could play a big role. So They Tell Me and Gringo D'aubrelle, who were third and fourth at Navan, are others who have to be considered.

PROMONTORY gets the vote after keeping on well for second upped to 3m on handicap chase debut last time, with a couple of these behind

The one who appeals most is EULALIA, who made the frame over 7f at this venue in October and now makes her first appearance for the Jack Morland yard. The daughter of Expert Eye sports a first-time tongue-tie, which might eke out the improvement required for her to get off the mark. Pride Eye is a player based on her shock Southwell victory two starts ago, while Moyowasi is another to keep an eye on.

The unexposed EULALIA was a close third over 7f here in October and could be a major force upped in trip on her stable debut.

PEROLA looks the one to be on. He is less exposed than Newcastle second Pints In Peace and performed well for the silver medal here a fortnight ago. His best two efforts have come on the all-weather and stretching out to 7f might be just what he needs. Cuban Flame and Leonie represent top stables on debut and the market should tell us more about what is expected.

After a good handicap run last month, PINTS IN PEACE might have been found a good opportunity to make a winning stable debut.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

Patrick Mullins has a good strike-rate when teaming up with trainer Tom Cooper and he is an eyecatching booking for newcomer MENTO. This Karaktar gelding is a half-brother to a couple of winners in France and is out of a half-sister to Italian Grade 1-winning chaser Present Bleu. Gordon Elliott saddles Fascinating Rock filly Cinating. She is a half-sister to several winners, including Group 3 runner-up Jaega. Another interesting newcomer is the Poet's Word gelding Way With Words. Philip Dempsey's charge is out of six-time Dundalk winner Sheisdiesel.

Virtually no form to go on. The Tom Cooper/Patrick Mullins combination took this last year and could so so again with MENTO

ROSEMARY'S ROSE failed to supplement her Lingfield success when third in this class at Newcastle, but that was still a fair effort. Off an unchanged rating, she remains the one to beat. The Spotlight Kid is a two-time course winner who lurks on an appealing mark and needs considering along with Celtic John, who will appreciate this drop back in trip.

Top of the lis is ROSEMARY'S ROSE, who won at Lingfield on her penultimate run and was a good third at Newcastle last time.

Likeable grey FRANCESI gained the success his previous form deserved at Newcastle when he ended Aisling Oscar's remarkable winning streak. That form reads well in the context of this race and he's performed well at the Midlands venue before, so another bold showing likely beckons. Criminal Shore has performed with credit in a couple of starts at Newcastle and cannot be overlooked, while Serious Look also has a squeak.

Preference is for CRIMINAL SHORE, who ran well in a tactical race last time and is well handicapped on some of last year's form.

Optimistic produced a career-best effort when third in a first-time visor at this level at Southwell last time and commands respect, but the vote goes to SISTERS IN THE SKY. The seven-year-old hit the woodwork off a mark of 48 in a handicap over track and trip last month and could take advantage of this drop in grade. Fircombe Hall is another to watch out for.

Grace Harris's SISTERS IN THE SKY has been in good form in C&D handicaps lately and has very solid claims.

Two-time Wolverhampton winner CLASSY CLARETS bounced back to form when filling the runner-up spot over C&D and if in similar form, he will prove hard to beat. Port Hedland finished last of seven in a handicap at Chelmsford in January, but may prove a different proposition now down to this level for the first time. Of the remainder, She Went Whoosh makes the most appeal.

On these terms CLASSY CLARETS looks capable of recording a third course success. East Tyrone is second choice.

INSUSPENSE took second in the final stride at Chelmsford on her latest outing and is just 1lb higher. This looks a good opportunity for the daughter of Bated Breath and she can take full advantage. Bint Havana Gold caused a bit of a surprise when successful over C&D last week and is out to prove that was no fluke, while So Sassy can't be ruled out either.

This looks good for BINT HAVANA GOLD, who returned to form with a C&D win under Donagh Murphy last week and avoids a penalty.

A return to 5f proved just the trick for Chelmsford winner Spendmore Lane and she's not easily dismissed. However, a 5lb higher mark could leave the four-year-old vulnerable and preference is for PAPA DON'T PREACH. Kevin Frost's charge arrives on the back of a fair third at Southwell and he makes plenty of appeal returning to the C&D of his last victory. Woolridge may fare best of the remainder.

The pick is SONIC SI, who has not been with Tony Carroll long and drops back in trip after a good effort over 6f here last month.

Having finished his 2025 campaign with a close-up third at Catterick, Twoforthegutter merits consideration on his return to action. With that being said, the son of Expert Eye has yet to score on the all-weather in six attempts and THREE ON THURSDAY rates as the most solid proposition. The four-year-old posted a good second over 1m1f here last time out and the return to 1m4f shouldn't pose any issues. Desiderata is also worth a second look.

The most obvious answer to this finale is THREE ON THURSDAY (nap), who has held her form well since her breakthrough win in December.

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.
