Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (4/5 -30%) Brother Boris	0.8 4/5(-30%)	(1) Brother Boris 4/5, Improved up in trip under aggressive ride, race fell apart behind landing a handicap by 26l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; may have bit more to offer now he's had his head in front. Saw out the longer trip well to get off the mark here (3m5f, soft) four weeks ago..
3	3 (3) (11/8 +27%) Yorgunnabeplucky	1.375 11/8(+27%)	(3) Yorgunnabeplucky 11/8, Unsuited by way race developed, poorly placed at sharp track when fourth beaten 13l in a handicap chase at Warwick latest; effective 2m-3m, acts on good to soft, good; can go well again. Won on his chasing debut at Ffos Las last June and has been consistent in four runs since..
2	2 (2) (9/2 +59%) Uncle Al	4.5 9/2(+59%)	(2) Uncle Al 9/2, Up in trip, didn't stay in strongly run race comfortably held in a handicap chase at Sedgefield last time; best around 2m4f, acts on soft, good; inconsistent. Won at Sedgefield in December but has been disappointing in both runs since..

It was far from a deep contest in which BROTHER BORIS bolted up in here last month but, as both of his rivals on this occasion have something to prove, this is another excellent opportunity for Lucy Wadham's seven-year-old. Yorgunnabeplucky was on target at Ffos Las back in June but hasn't been able to kick on. Even so, he looks a bigger threat than Uncle Al.

The in-form BROTHER BORIS should have no issues with dropping back to 3m and should be good enough. Yorgunnabeplucky is the danger.

1	1 (1) (8/11 +13%) Annie Hathaway	0.727273 8/11(+13%)	(1) Annie Hathaway 8/11, Improved massively on poor hurdles debut dropped in trip when 3l third in a novice hurdle at Huntingdon most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good to soft; more to come and this is a weak race. Easily best effort when third in Huntingdon novice in December; she holds leading claims.
2	2 (2) (10/11 +24%) I C U In My Dreams	0.909091 10/11(+24%)	(2) I C U In My Dreams 10/11, Ran to form, maybe improved a little when fourth beaten 5l in a maiden bumper at Newcastle latest; effective 2m, acts on good to soft and AW; more to come now hurdling. Irish point winner; in the frame in pair of bumpers; not without interest going hurdling.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +33%) Prettylady	12 12/1(+33%)	(6) Prettylady 12/1, Another poor effort tried in tongue-tie when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Hereford latest; showed promise on Flat in France, all to prove for now. Well held in two juvenile hurdles for current yard; needs wind surgery to spark progress.
4	4 (4) (14/1 +30%) Rose Light	14 14/1(+30%)	(4) Rose Light 14/1, Below form back up in trip well beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; effective 10-12f on Flat; others stronger on hurdles debut. Modest 1m3f Flat winner; goes hurdling for in-form Jennie Candlish yard; not ruled out.
3	3 (3) (50/1 +0%) Nicely Curved	50 50/1(+0%)	(3) Nicely Curved 50/1, Below form, poor effort well beaten in a classified race at Lingfield latest; stamina to prove and all to do on hurdles debut. Poor form on Flat recently so lots more needed on hurdling debut.
5	5 (5) (250/1 -25%) Melosa	250 250/1(-25%)	(5) Melosa 250/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Catterick latest; usually held up; effective 7-10f on the Flat; stamina to prove hurdling. No show in a trio of runs in this sphere; it's very easy to look elsewhere here.

ANNIE HATHAWAY showed much more when third at 150/1 at Huntingdon on her most recent start shortly before Christmas and Alan King's mare is arguably the one to beat based on that evidence. I C U In My Dreams has ability judged on her bumper efforts and she should not be discounted. The rest all have questions to answer, but Rose Light is the pick of them.

This looks a good opportunity for ANNIE HATHAWAY to get off the mark. I C U In My Dreams is second choice.

19	19 (19) (10/3 +26%) Selma De Vary	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(19) Selma De Vary 10/3, Yard won this last three runnings of race; too much to do having conceded first run to stablemate in Grade 1 at Leopardstown last time; that amongst the best form on offer; effective 2m, acts with cut; showed high class form in France, has joined top connections with excellent record with similar types, should come on for latest, competitive at top level and gets weight from main rivals. French winner who shaped very nicely when second in Leopardstown Grade 1 on Mullins debut.
15	15 (15) (9/2 -35%) Proactif	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(15) Proactif 9/2, Yard won this last three runnings of race; quickened clear easily, improved on stable debut when winning a 4yo hurdle at Fairyhouse by 3l last time; that form strong; effective 2m, acts on yielding; looks classy French recruit, worth a go at top level already. Asserted from Macho Man at Fairyhouse; brings an unblemished record but not the best form.
11	11 (11) (5/1 +29%) Minella Study	5 5/1(+29%)	(11) Minella Study 5/1, Keen, quickened clear cosily, improved down in class when winning a juvenile hurdle here by 6 1/2l last time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; progressive in both codes, form franked but may be vulnerable to classier Irish raiders. 3-3 hurdling; latest (C&D) made him the highest-rated runner in this from a British stable.
17	17 (17) (7/1 +56%) Highland Crystal	7 7/1(+56%)	(17) Highland Crystal 7/1, Showed a willing attitude to defy big weight down in class when winning a 4yo hurdle at Naas by 3/4l last time; that form franked in Fred Winter; effective 2m, acts on heavy; could be useful hurdles recruit, likely to get bit further, needs some rain here. 3-3 and she's one of the top two on form; should have a big say if the ground is suitable.
9	9 (9) (7/1 +0%) Maestro Conti	7 7/1(+0%)	(9) Maestro Conti 7/1, Keen, did it readily, improved again when winning Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2) here by 2l last time; that form boosted in Adonis; effective 2m1f, acts on heavy; French winner progressing for top yard, worth a go at the top level. 3-3, latest run at this track; more to do but it's hard to say just how good he might be.
10	10 (10) (11/1 +56%) Minella Academy	11 11/1(+56%)	(10) Minella Academy 11/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; did it cosily but helped by late faller, promising debut 8l winner in a juvenile hurdle at Cork on debut; returning from a break; effective 2m, acts on yielding; debut form had knocks, plenty more needed. Sold for £370,000 six days after winning a weak Cork race (4-5) in November; major promise.
8	8 (8) (11/1 -57%) Macho Man	11 11/1(-57%)	(8) Macho Man 11/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; promising effort behind classy stablemate, needed run when second beaten 3l in a 4yo hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on yielding; winner in France, could be very useful but work to do to reverse form with Proactif. Showed his inexperience when 2nd to Proactif and could be more polished following that run.
12	12 (12) (20/1 -25%) Mon Creuset	20 20/1(-25%)	(12) Mon Creuset 20/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; would've gone close but for late error and eased when fourth beaten 9l in a maiden hurdle at Naas latest; effective 12-16f, acts with cut; well fancied for debut where unlucky behind Kai Lung, likely capable of much better for top connections but could do with some rain. 4th to Kai Lung at Naas (heavy) but was evens and travelling strongly before blunder 2 out.
6	6 (6) (25/1 +24%) Kai Lung	25 25/1(+24%)	(6) Kai Lung 25/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; very promising debut when winning a maiden hurdle at Naas by 2l last time aided by slick jumping; effective 2m, acts on heavy and soft; useful French form, debut win franked in Fred Winter, more to come over hurdles for top yard if settling; interesting at a price. French Flat win; won hurdle debut at Naas (heavy) when front-running didn't seem the plan.
13	13 (13) (25/1 +38%) North Shore	25 25/1(+38%)	(13) North Shore 25/1, Improved ridden to pick up the pieces when fourth beaten 12l in Gannon's City Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 1) at Leopardstown latest; effective 2m; very useful on flat in France, highly tried since, more to come over hurdles for top yard and should be winning soon. Beaten about 11l at Leopardstown (yielding/heavy) in Gr 2 and Gr 1 won by Narciso Has.
5	5 (5) (33/1 +67%) Indian River	33 33/1(+67%)	(5) Indian River 33/1, Improved again overcoming errors when winning a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield by 2l last time; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; made a good start over hurdles, form has been boosted, more to come when brushing up on jumping. 3-3 over hurdles in the north but this race is a vastly harder task.
7	7 (7) (33/1 +50%) Lord Byron	33 33/1(+50%)	(7) Lord Byron 33/1, Ran to form, not knocked about once chance was gone when fourth beaten 18l in Premier Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Kelso latest; effective 2m1f on heavy and soft; more to come when ridden bit more positively possibly in handicaps, looks strong stayer and this may be inadequate test. 17l defeat at Kelso Grade 2 (2m2f, good to soft) 13 days ago does not augur well.
3	3 (3) (33/1 +59%) Fantasy World	33 33/1(+59%)	(3) Fantasy World 33/1, 15l third in Adonis Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2) at Kempton most recent run; effective up to 14f on the Flat, yet to prove stamina for 2m over hurdles; progressive Listed winner on Flat, clearly well regarded over hurdles, should be winning soon but unlikely to be here. 1m6f Listed winner on Flat; he hasn't made a serious impact in either of his hurdle races.
14	14 (14) (40/1 +39%) One Horse Town	40 40/1(+39%)	(14) One Horse Town 40/1, Ran to form when second beaten 13l in Adonis Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2) at Kempton latest; effective 2m on good; useful summer recruit over hurdles, form of Graded win modest and may struggle here. Useful but limitations likely to be evident, as they were against Maestro Conti over C&D.
18	18 (18) (50/1 +0%) Noemie De La Vis	50 50/1(+0%)	(18) Noemie De La Vis 50/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; too free and caught late when second beaten 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; off a short-break; effective at 2m on very soft; joined top yard from France, should be winning soon but stable holds much stronger claioms here. Strongly run race at this trip may prove a better fit, but lots to find on the figures.
20	20 (20) (66/1 +0%) Tenter Le Tout	66 66/1(+0%)	(20) Tenter Le Tout 66/1, Ran to form but well held under penalty comfortably held in Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2) here last time; in good form prior; effective 2m1f, acts on good to soft; form of Grade 2 win may not be the strongest. Two smooth wins but put firmly in her place behind Maestro Conti over C&D last time.
2	2 (2) (100/1 +60%) Berto Ramirez	100 100/1(+60%)	(2) Berto Ramirez 100/1, Improved ridden to pick up the pieces when fourth beaten 16l in Listed Juvenile Hurdle at Naas latest; effective at 2m on soft; likely one for handicaps over hurdles and looks out of depth here. 15l fourth of five in Naas Listed race does not suggest any threat to today's principals.
16	16 (16) (125/1 -25%) Wolf Rayet	125 125/1(-25%)	(16) Wolf Rayet 125/1, Ran to form 3l third in a 4yo hurdle at Ludlow most recent run; stays 2m over hurdles, acts on heavy, good; progressing and should find a race soon down in class but miles out of depth here. Best saw him beaten 11l by Minella Study here (good to soft) in December; up against it.

The Fairyhouse form in January could be the key to this year's renewal of the Triumph and PROACTIF (winner) can confirm his superiority over stable companion Macho Man (second). Willie Mullins' French recruit stayed on stylishly for success that day and the third performed well for fifth in the Fred Winter on Tuesday. Selma De Vary finished second to the absent Narciso Has at the Dublin Racing Festival on her Irish debut, but she was fairly keen on that occasion and may well be more suited to a speed test. The UK-based runners are strong contenders too, with Maestro Conti boasting an unbeaten record for Dan Skelton and a C&D success to boot. Minella Study is another to consider closely having beat Tuesday's Fred Winter runner-up Winston Junior easily here before Christmas.

Selma De Vary may prove the best of the Mullins contingent but HIGHLAND CRYSTAL also has good form and she'll stay on strongly.

Has shaped with promise on his three hurdle starts..
5	5 (5) (13/8 -18%) Zarakerjack	1.625 13/8(-18%)	(5) Zarakerjack 13/8, Green, mistakes, rallied, improved 16l third in a juvenile hurdle at Kempton most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; yard does well with similar types, can do better over hurdles when brushing up on jumping. Placed in both starts over hurdles, albeit tending to jump out to the left..

Tailed off on rules debut at Southwell last month; needs to show more..
4	4 (4) (150/1 -50%) Callmesusie	150 150/1(-50%)	(4) Callmesusie 150/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon latest; yet to beat a rival home, hard to make a case for. Has shown no form over hurdles..

Zarakerjack arrives following two creditable Kempton efforts and must be respected given that he's favoured on these terms, but MISTER URSUS gets the nod. Olly Murphy's charge went close at Chepstow last month and any further progress may well be enough. Hans Lippershey has taken a few backwards steps of late, but a return to maiden company ought to aid his chance.

This looks to be an ideal opportunity for MISTER URSUS to get off the mark. He has most to fear from Zarakerjack.

1	1 (1) ( ) Count Of Vendome	(1) Count Of Vendome , Ran to form, got racing early and set it up for closer when second beaten 3 1/4l in a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee latest; effective around 2m, acts on soft and good; progressing and strong chance here. Scored over C&D before very good second at Bangor (2m) 16 days ago; he holds major claims.
2	2 (2) ( ) Lewisham Grove	(2) Lewisham Grove , Too keen, made mistakes, below form up in trip when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Musselburgh last time; in good form prior; cheekpieces first time; effective up to 2m4f, acts on good to soft; steadily progressive and looks the danger to the top one. Won at Newcastle; not disgraced at Musselburgh since so must enter calculations.
4	4 (4) ( ) Corsican Caper	(4) Corsican Caper , Never in it after a slow start when fourth beaten 10l in a handicap at Chelmsford latest; effective 14f on Flat, best with cut; in poor form under both codes and hard to fancy. Tailed off on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter and below par on Flat since; others preferred.
5	5 (5) ( ) It's Party Time	(5) It's Party Time , Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Southwell latest; effective at 3m in points; do better once handicapping. In the frame in Irish point but pulled up in novice hurdles here and at Southwell.

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

COUNT OF VENDOME bumped into a useful rival when finishing second at Bangor a couple of weeks ago and that followed an impressive success over C&D the time before. A reproduction of either of those efforts would give the six-year-old a big chance here. Lewisham Grove failed to fire last time but is a player based on his previous form. It is hard to recommend any of the remainder, but Corsican Caper at least has some hurdling experience.

Donald McCain's improving COUNT OF VENDOME is a confident tip to resume winning ways on the back of a very good Bangor second here

Won big handicap last year; better than result latest; could go well with headgear fitted.

Very competitive in top handicaps last season; decent reappearance in Grade 2 last month.

Has joined Dan Skelton since last seen in the autumn; no surprise to see him go well.
8	8 (8) (9/1 -50%) Murcia	9 9/1(-50%)	(8) Murcia 9/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; forced wide on ground more testing than ideal when fourth beaten 12l in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown latest; effective 2m, acts on soft, good to soft; failed to get up the hill here last term in Fred Winter; won at top level as juvenile in weak contest, running into form this term. Raced wide when fourth at Dublin Racing Festival and could be primed for bold bid.

Won mares' Grade 2 latest; third in Scottish Champion off same mark last spring.

Smart effort when second on 2m3f Ascot handicap debut and this sort of test could suit.
7	7 (7) (33/1 +34%) Pinot Gris	33 33/1(+34%)	(7) Pinot Gris 33/1, Needed run when down the field in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown most recent; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; unexposed for this yard but more needed to defy stiff mark. Behind some of these at Dublin Racing Festival and refitted blinkers need to spark revival.

Back from a break to win on AW Flat last month but well beaten in Morebattle since.

Creditable efforts behind Bowensonfire in big-field handicaps but others better treated.
15	15 (15) (66/1 +0%) Cracking Rhapsody	66 66/1(+0%)	(15) Cracking Rhapsody 66/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time; effective 2m, acts on good to soft; back down below last winning mark but Scottish form leaves him vulnerable here. No stranger to big handicap success but operating below his best this season.

Having dominated this contest with nine victories in the past 10 seasons between them, this could be fought out between Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton once more. Sinnatra has proved consistent in five outings over hurdles and an official rating of 133 on his handicap debut looks workable. However, the six-year-old does lack the experience of a big field at this higher level and preference is for Grade 1 winner MURCIA. The Wille Mullins-trained mare arrives on the back of a solid fourth at Leopardstown and she appears to be the most solid proposition. Stablemate Karbau was far from disgraced on his reappearance when second in a Grade 3 at Naas 47 days ago and is a feasible alternative, while the progressive Bowensonfire is at top of his game and merits respect in his hat-trick bid.

Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton have dominated this in recent years and may do so again, with KARBAU preferred to Sinnatra.

JAMAICAINE completed a hat-trick over hurdles at Doncaster in January and is sent chasing for the first time in only a moderate event. The progressive mare should be suited by the switch to the larger obstacles and is expected to continue her improvement, but the recent Plumpton second Where's Cato won't go down without a fight. Belle Montrose appeals most of the remainder.

Preference is for course specialist BELLE MONTROSE to win her third race around here. She has most to fear from Jamaicaine.

All of these have claims, but marginal preference is for CUBAN COURT. Neil King's gelding won by 13 lengths over C&D two weeks ago and even an 8lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up. Two To Tango has been knocking on the door and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Whatyouwaitingfor edges out Lightning Flash to be next best.

Neil King's progressive 8yo CUBAN COURT is taken to make light of an 8lb hike and gain a third Doncaster victory of the season

Narrowly beaten in this contest in 2024, DINOBLUE produced a dominant display to land this prize last year. Tough and consistent, Willie Mullins' talented nine-year-old will take all the beating once again, having warmed up nicely for this with a Listed success at Naas last month. She's preferred to stable companion Spindleberry, who faced a tough assignment in the Irish Gold Cup last time, having shown excellent progress over fences in 2025. Panic Attack is on the upgrade and could give selection plenty to think about. Dan Skelton's charge landed the Paddy Power here prior to winning the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury, while the dual Listed winner Diva Luna also arrives in fine form, although she faces a much tougher assignment on this occasion.

Last year's winner DINOBLUE sets a very strong standard and earns the vote ahead of Diva Luna and Spindleberry.

Stuart Edmunds won this last year and he runs Blue Marvel this season, with the five-year-old making her handicap debut after a maiden third at Huntingdon. A mark of 103 seems fair enough and she could prove the biggest danger to SECRET VINO, who won despite a troubled passage at Catterick and was value for more than the official one-length margin. Raby Mere has scored over C&D and is another to consider.

Up a fair 5lb and with last time's Catterick win already boosted, SECRET VINO (nap) can follow up at the expense of Blue Marvel.

The Irish have dominated this event over the last decade, winning seven times, and are likely to improve on that record based on the ante-post market. The leading English hope would have to be Kripticjim, who just prevailed in Grade 2 company at this course in January and this longer trip could bring out improvement. Out of the four Willie Mullins sends to post, Doctor Steinberg is the clear choice after beating Thedeviluno at Navan prior to bolting up at the top level at Leopardstown last month. The six-year-old should mount a bold bid in protecting his unbeaten record over timber, but the value may lie with SPINNINGAYARN. Gordon Elliott's gelding has shaped as if crying out for this step up in distance when winning comfortably at Fairyhouse and Punchestown the last twice, so with the potential for bundles of improvement, he looks the one to side with.

With feasible excuses last time, KING'S BUCKS is interesting on the strength of his third in a Grade 2 here in November.

HELLO SWEETY is clearly a character but she won easily last time over C&D, coming home 19 lengths clear despite a mistake two out. The handicapper did take notice and put her up 10lb, but this small field may well see her dominate once more. Abbey Law won her maiden over C&D last April and may be worth another chance despite pulling up on her return, leaving Ghost Dancing as next best.

Should Hello Sweety get drawn into any pace battle, this may yet fall into the lap of handicap debutante GHOST DANCING.

JAMESIECONN turns out quickly following his recent Newcastle success under a 7lb penalty. However, this doesn't look a particularly strong contest on paper and Nicky Richards' gelding may prove capable of backing that performance up. Amazing Cleni left behind his disappointing chase debut effort when getting off the mark at Leicester and he should be competitive. I See The Sea appeals more than Jongleur D'etoiles of the remainder.

Last week's Newcastle winner JAMESIECONN looks the safest option and is taken to beat Leicester winner Amazing Cleni

FILLY EILISH might have been sent off at odds of 100-1 on her debut, but that didn't stop the filly from running a race full of promise. Third, she gave best to only a couple of decent rivals and with that experience under her belt, she can take the necessary step forward. Golden Muse made a pleasing start at Chelmsford and evidently has the ability to make an impact, while market support for 50,000-euro purchase Battle Hymn would be noteworthy.

This looks between the two fillies who finished third on their debuts, with preference for GOLDEN MUSE over Filly Eilish.

Native River's 2018 triumph has been an anomaly for the home side in the face of Irish dominance over the last 10 years, but JANGO BAIE could set the record straight this time around. Fourth in the King George, behind The Jukebox Man (winner) and Gaelic Warrior (third), in a pulsating finish on Boxing Day. However, Nicky Henderson's charge was probably found wanting for a bit of tactical speed that day, but he looks tailor-made for this sort of trip and while last year's Arkle triumph still lives fresh in the memory, he can make his bid for glory where others may falter. The aforementioned pair are unlikely to go down without a fight and last year's winner Inothewayurthinkin shouldn't be underestimated despite a few below-par efforts this term. Haiti Couleurs continues to go from strength to strength. He would be an extremely popular winner but so would any of the home contingent and spare a thought for Spillane's Tower, who showed he was up for a scrap when defeating L'Homme Presse in the Costwold Chase in January.

Today's test looks ideal for HAITI COULEURS (nap) who is the pick ahead of Jango Baie and last year's winner Inothewayurthinkin.

Bluegrass failed to build on his promising third at Taunton when producing an underwhelming display at Doncaster next time, but first-time blinkers might help him to bounce back. Even so, TAPLEY looks the way to go. Suzy Smith's nine-year-old was just touched off in this class over fences at Kempton on Boxing Day and is a C&D winner. Off a workable mark, he looks the one to beat. Nap Hand is another to keep an eye on.

3-3 over C&D and with previous where winning in new headgear is concerned, BLUEGRASS can deny fellow previous race winner Tapley.

Bitsnbuckles enjoyed dropping back in distance when landing the spoils over an extended 2m4f at Southwell last month. The eight-year-old scored with something in hand and must enter calculations off 7lb higher, but SARACEN BEAU is slightly more compelling. Nicky Richards' charge arrives on the back of a decent third at Newcastle and that form looks a touch stronger. Meatloaf is a feasible alternative.

In what looks a tricky race MEATLOAF, who shaped well when third at Wincanton last time, is taken to beat Saracen Beau.

Sheradann was a bit too keen when third at Lingfield but the application of a first-time hood could remedy that issue. Ian Williams' gelding had BRASIL POWER behind in fourth that day, but the latter might not be as far back in what is likely to be a tactical affair and that might allow the son of Dark Angel to turn the tables. Charging Thunder is also noted.

None of these can be discounted but SHERADANN is in good order at present. He has most to fear from Brasil Power.

SKIP TO VICTORY took a big step forward when runner-up over C&D last time. Denied by only a head, the winner is now rated 81, and that looks strong form in this context. Von Trotter is also going the right way based on his good effort here in December. He can make his presence felt and is preferred to Wolverhampton third La Belle Forest and the more exposed Whiskey Kisses.

This can go to SKIP TO VICTORY who improved plenty from her debut when beaten a head over C&D 17 days ago.

Wonderwall is likely to be popular after winning this last year, and it does look as if this has been his target since, with one winning run in a Dromahane point-to-point in November the only time he has been seen since. The 10-year-old will arrive here fresher than most and has to be noted, along with Its On The Line, who was second for Emmet Mullins. Both can go well, but Paul Nicholls has won this twice with Pacha Du Polder in the last 10 years and has a lively contender here with GOLDEN SON. A winner at Warwick and Taunton this year from two starts, he could find further improvement at the age of eight.

Last year's first three home have clear claims and making a case for them brings the lightly raced CON'S ROC firmly into the equation.

Last year's winner JANIKA looks the one to be on. Runner-up on his latest point-to-point outing, the 13-year-old has lots in his favour to strike. Bowtogreatness possesses the highest rating in the field and if on a going day, he ought go close. Go On Chez was competing in the Hunters' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival this time last year and can beat Coolagh Park home for third.

Shorn of the hood, the once fairly useful BOWTOGREATNESS can regain the winning thread ahead of last year's race winner Janika.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from Noble Way's debut third over C&D and the way he travelled suggests that quicker ground conditions should see him in a better light. However, there are some intriguing newcomers on show, with JETZET topping the bill. The four-year-old fetched 115,000 euros and boasts enough speed in his pedigree to think he'll make a mark at this level. Fellow debutant Savon also requires a market check.

John Dawson has done really well in bumpers so it could be worth siding with his newcomer DON'T TELL DOUGIE.

BUDDY BATT has been running well over today's course-and-distance in recent months and has every chance of getting back to winning ways. Rated 80 at his peak in 2023, the selection's form dipped prior to scoring last November and while he has now climbed back to 77, is race-fit and has a good all-weather record. Previous course-and-distance winner Red Evolution is a capable type and can enter calculations on his reappearance. Cuban Grey has been running well and is a six-time winner at this distance.

It could be worth taking a chance on ALFRED TENNYSON, who looks as if he has the pace to cope with this trip.

BEAUZON made all to record an excellent six-timer over C&D earlier this month and, whilst drawn to attack again, the in-form seven-year-old is fancied to defy a 4lb penalty en route to further success. Insuspense continues to knock at the door and is an obvious threat in the hands of Tom Marquand, while Cabeza De Llave could also go well following an encouraging return to action.

Just Jump shouldn't be long in winning races for Tony Carroll but the flourishing BEAUZON (nap) may well have his measure today.

Not at top of his game on his last 2 starts but this 5-time course winner isn't discounted.

Seven Fires made all to land a maiden race over 6f here last month, while Early Release also made every yard when successful at Kempton recently. It's plausible that pair could take each other on for the lead and that could play into the hands of the in-form SHALAA ASKER. The latter landed a brace on the Tapeta at the start of the year and can race off the same mark as when narrowly beaten over C&D on Tuesday.

Three-time course winner SHALAA ASKER was beaten just a head over C&D on Tuesday and is taken to go one better.

Deemed good enough for the Grade 1 Turners Novices' Hurdle here last year, KEL HISTOIRE could have enough in hand off 137 to win this on his handicap debut. Runner-up in the Moscow Flyer last season, a race in which Willie Mullins has historically run his better novice hurdlers, the six-year-old is of real interest and this has probably been the plan all season. Another unexposed hurdler from the same yard is Roc Dino and he's a handicap debutant to note having finished behind Mighty Park at Fairyhouse and El Cairos at Thurles, both of whom ran in the Supreme on Tuesday. Of the others, keep a close eye on Air Of Entitlement, Jump Allen and East India Express.

Particularly interesting is WENDROCK who brings significant potential returned to 2m4f. Andashan is second pick.

Veteran TYSON FURY would prefer a longer trip but is a capable performer on his day and now contests an ordinary claimer. The selection ended a long winless spell to score in February 2024 and while unsuccessful since then, has run well in some useful races and wasn't beaten far behind the placed-horses over course-and-distance last month. Persian Bliss is rated 90 but finished a long way behind the selection in that February race, where he was slowly away and showed very little. Benavente might prove second-best, as he has fair recent form and is suited by this distance.

Using official ratings and RPR figures as a guide, the vote is for TYSON FURY to beat stablemate Persian Bliss

Although unable to justify favouritism on his stable bow at Lingfield last month, WISETANCK lost little in defeat when second to a progressive rival. A 1lb ease in the ratings may prove to be lenient for Richard Hughes' colt and compensation could be imminent. Whizzy Dizzy was beaten just under a length over C&D last time and she rates the biggest threat, ahead of Liverpool Star.

A few possibles but WISETANCK shaped well on his stable debut at Lingfield and he can go one better now tried in headgear.

Legal Reform won a division of this last year and looks likely to have a say in proceedings once again. However, his recent third here suggests he's high enough in the weights now and it could pay to stick with DOWN TO THE KID. The latter has won three of his last four starts over C&D and a 2lb rise for his latest success may not be enough to anchor him. Eminency is preferred to Diamondonthehill of the rest.

It's still early days in Class 3 for multiple C&D scorer DOWN TO THE KID, who can account for the back down in grade Eminency.

AINGEAL DORCHA was a late-comer to all-weather racing last November but has shown nice course ability in recent times. A dual winner in 2022, the eight-year-old ended a long losing spell here last month and while he is now 6lb higher, can confirm placing with five of today's same rivals. Eighty Eight and Storm Eric finished third and fourth respectively in that February race and can get involved, while consistent Without Love is now tried in first-time blinkers.

In an open race, STORM ERIC, who met some trouble in running last time, may turn the tables on Aingeal Dorchap and \bEighty Eight.

Having regained the winning thread at Lingfield on his latest outing, Borgi is likely to prove popular in his follow-up bid. A 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold showing from the seven-year-old, but it could be worth taking a punt on the lightly-raced STAR STUDIED. James Tate's inmate is unbeaten in two outings on the all-weather and a switch to this surface could see him bouncing back to his best. Hitched is the pick of the remainder.

A chance is taken that SIR PAUL RAMSEY will prove himself just as effective on AW as turf. He's on a dangerous mark on his return.

FILLY ONE looks a strong contender in here and won't have to improve much on her latest second, when beaten a mere head, in order to strike. Her all-weather form is solid and she gets a confident vote ahead of Brazilian Rose, who has held her form well all year. Pixie Diva has an absence to overcome but is also of interest.

The choice is FILLY ONE (nap) who is proven over C&D and may still have more to offer in her bid to enhance her good AW record (4-8).

DAONETHATGOTAWAY hasn't raced many times over similar distances but scored on his first attempt at this trip last month and might now defy a 5lb rise. A useful five-time winner, he stepped up in trip when finishing second here in mid-February and subsequently scored over today's distance. He is thoroughly dependable and again ridden by regular 7lb apprentice Reese Holohan. Voice Of Reason finished second over C&D last month and while he has top weight, today's rider now claims 5lb. Beauparc has been running well and is tried in a first-time tongue-tie.

Having run well over 1m2f and 2m the last twice, BEAUPARC is best suited by this intermediate trip and can score.

A step up in trip and aggressive tactics proved the perfect combination when BERGAMO GOLD made all at Lingfield recently. The daughter of Ten Sovereigns scored with something in hand and she's fancied to make light work of a 6lb penalty. Risk Averse Rebel didn't enjoy the best of luck here four days ago when his rider briefly lost an iron deep into the contest and he's entitled to build on that third-placed effort. Family Values looks best of the rest.

Charlie Johnston's improving filly BERGAMO GOLD is taken to make light of a 6lb penalty for her comfortable all-the-way Lingfield win.

Plenty of improving three-year-olds go to post for this competitive sprint and just a tentative vote is for GHOST MODE, who won a Chester maiden and was extremely unlucky when headed on the post at York last time. He should have a lot more to offer this year, likewise Jungle Ruler, who performed better than his finishing position suggests at Lingfield and is a C&D winner. Saffron Dandy and Grey Horizon are noted too.

The vote goes to JUNGLE RULER who has winning form over C&D and lost little in defeat under a double-penalty in a Lingfield novice.

GAIETY GIRL has run well twice to date and might score on handicap debut. Out of a Group 3 winner and a 24,000gns purchase as a Godolphin castoff last July, the selection was placed in both maidens and is thus eligible for today's handicap mark. The form of her debut reads well, with the fourth and fifth-placed horses scoring subsequently, and having again run well last month, can win from her 63 rating. Summer Island scored on yard debut last month (beating Beat The Devil) and while slow-starting and a keen-goer, should again compete. Darkdeserthighway has recent form, while Jasmine Affanalis is best watched on reappearance from a wide draw.

The twice-raced GAIETY GIRL (nap) is put forward as a solid proposition against more exposed performers.

Bomb Squad hasn't finished outside of the top two in each of his last three outings and should remain competitive. Similar comments apply to the in-form Ramon Di Loria, but it might be worth taking a chance on SANDITON. The four-year-old was never dangerous when sixth over track and trip recently, but the booking of Billy Loughnane is noteworthy and he remains on a workable mark.

Bomb Squad looks solid to go well again but DAYMAN is threatening to end his losing run and this could be the day.

MARRY THE NIGHT might take a bit of beating in his present mood. He seems to have improved again this year judged on wins at this track and a 5lb penalty for the latter of those triumphs nine days ago might not be enough to halt his progress. Asian Journey was beaten just a head into second latest and is expected to go well, while Relevant Range completes the shortlist.

Had he broken better, RELEVANT RANGE may have finished ahead of Asian Journey here nine days ago and is given another chance.

SAGASTI debuts in handicaps and should compete from her 72 rating. Out of a winning mare whose half-brother won a Group 2, the selection showed big improvement to finish a staying-on third in December. She should appreciate a mile and is open to more progression. The progressive Kc Bear is also from a useful family and while he has good course form, has yet to race at a mile. Colin Keane keeps the ride, though, and he is also just 5lb higher than when scoring previously. Tempted Angel is worth a second look in the betting on her handicap bow.

Top weight SAGASTI is interesting on account of having shown improved form on AW debut here in December

South Kensington was victorious at Brighton when last seen in the Autumn and has a previous all-weather victory to her name, so she is respected on her first start for Adam Kirby. However, PESSOA struck over an extended mile here prior to finishing a good second over the same C&D next time. Quickly bounced out off the same mark, he could be the one to beat. Cooramook is another to keep a close eye on.

South Kensington is respected on her stable debut but PESSOA loves it around here and arrives in fine form.

Fornido is the only course winner in this field after scoring over this trip in October last year, but that remains his sole victory from 11 starts and might have to settle for a place. Therefore, the vote goes to FORGLEN, who finished fast and late to score by a head at Wolverhampton last month. Only upped 3lb for that effort, he may be able to follow up. Marine completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to SULLIVAN BAY who should appreciate the drop in grade and comes into this race fresher than most.

Second in a classified event at Kempton last week; change of headgear today.
4	4 (4) (20/1 +0%) Fulford Cross	20 20/1(+0%)	(4) Fulford Cross 20/1, Again below form when seventh beaten 9 1/4l off 57 last time, 1lb lower here; off a short-break; effective at 7f, acts on AW; mark still fair but must bounce back. His Lingfield win in December has been followed by two lesser efforts.

Fistral Beach returned to winning ways over track and trip on her most recent start and should mount a bold bid to follow up, but the vote goes to PUNCHBOWL FLYER. John O'Shea's nine-year-old outran his odds of 50/1 when filling the runner-up spot over 6f here recently and can cope with this extra furlong to score. Ardaddy completes the shortlist.

Ardaddy can go well back at 7f but this is an ease in grade for PEARLY SQUIRREL and she can take advantage.

Record this year reads 3161515; would be a major player if bouncing back to his best.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +50%) Zooks	5 5/1(+50%)	(5) Zooks 5/1, Below form dropped in trip when comfortably held in a handicap here last time; trainer in form; effective up to 14-16f, acts on good and AW; bounce back needed. Back off the same mark as when successful at Ffos Las last July; worth a second look.

Fourth in both starts this year; frame material again based on those efforts.

6	6 (6) (15/2 +0%) Abu Royal	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(6) Abu Royal 15/2, Best work late, ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 10-12f with cut and on AW; chance if building on latest. Not beaten far in both starts here since returning in January but needs to find a bit more.

Lednikov is a standing dish here with five victories from 16 starts, but they have been over shorter and he could prove vulnerable as a result. Hickton steps up in trip after a win over 1m4f here when last seen in October and is likely to go close, but a chance is taken on ITSGOTTOBEFUN. Third at Wolverhampton on his only try at this distance last month, he races off the same mark and could surprise them all.

It may be worth taking a chance with ZOOKS who has dropped back to the same mark as when successful at Ffos Las last summer.

Has won twice over C&D, enhanced his record with 7f win here last time, 6lb higher now.
5	5 (5) (7/2 +13%) Sovereign Banter	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) Sovereign Banter 7/2, Made too much use of beaten 9l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; in form and can bounce back ridden more conservatively. Won over C&D last October, held his form well until a below-par display a month ago.
10	10 (10) (4/1 +60%) Rattletheonionbag	4 4/1(+60%)	(10) Rattletheonionbag 4/1, Back to form 5l third in a handicap here most recent run; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; good effort latest but not the most reliable. 28-race maiden, placed in six of her 16 races at this track, fair third over C&D on latest.
2	2 (2) (4/1 -45%) Jazzit	4 4/1(-45%)	(2) Jazzit 4/1, Easily best effort dropped in trip when second beaten 3/4l in a maiden here latest; trainer in form; wide draw; suited by 6f, all runs on AW; latest run probably reflects ability and mark looks generous. Ran well at Southwell on final British start, made a promising Irish debut in a C&D maiden.
4	4 (4) (6/1 -71%) Hero Of The Hour	6 6/1(-71%)	(4) Hero Of The Hour 6/1, Too much to do but ran to form 2l third in a claimer here most recent run; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; consistent. Four-time course winner, including three at this trip, good chance after third last time.
9	9 (9) (13/2 -8%) Queen Leila	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(9) Queen Leila 13/2, Too much to do switched to hold-up tactics beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; suited by 7f, acts on AW, possibly better racing prominently; mark stiff enough. Has been running over longer distances, second over 7f on penultimate outing, place chance.
11	11 (11) (14/1 +58%) Keskon	14 14/1(+58%)	(11) Keskon 14/1, Never threatened having missed break down the field in a nursery here most recent; returning from a break; stamina in pedigree; sort to do better in these low-grade handicaps but drop in trip may not be ideal. Weak maiden form, had only two behind him in a 1m course nursery, not a likely contender.
1	1 (1) (16/1 +36%) Heart Of Eternity	16 16/1(+36%)	(1) Heart Of Eternity 16/1, Never travelled down the field in a handicap here most recent; wide draw; effective 7/8f, acts on good and good to firm; form going the wrong way. Ex-Godolphin, has plunged in the ratings since joining this stable, premature to write off.
6	6 (6) (20/1 +39%) Skillman Ave	20 20/1(+39%)	(6) Skillman Ave 20/1, Outpaced and never threatened down the field in a handicap here most recent; returning from a break; wide draw; effective 5-6f, doesn't appear to stay further, acts on AW; out of form. Won over 5f for Gavin Cromwell last July, yet to shine in six races for this stable.
12	12 (12) (20/1 +39%) Lady Landhort	20 20/1(+39%)	(12) Lady Landhort 20/1, Cheekpieces tried to no effect but was off a break beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap here last time; should come on for that but looks very limited. Finished with only one behind her on handicap debut over 5f at this venue, hard to fancy.
13	13 (13) (28/1 +15%) Double Clutching	28 28/1(+15%)	(13) Double Clutching 28/1, Didn't settle beaten 8l in a maiden here last time; wide draw; speedily-bred; acts on AW but yet to show much ability. Very slight improvement on the most recent of three maiden starts; a lot more required.

8	8 (8) (50/1 +0%) Hi George	50 50/1(+0%)	(8) Hi George 50/1, Never competitive having missed break down the field in a handicap here most recent; hood first time; off a long absence; acts on AW; yet to show anything. No sign of winning potential in five runs before a lengthy break, may need the outing.

JAZZIT was neatly purchased for 1,000gns last December and ran well on his yard debut last month. The selection showed bits of form in the UK but seemed to show a little more on that day and he cannot be discounted. Jazzy Dancer could prove to be the main threat, while another veteran Hero Of The Hour is next best.

The form of the maiden in which JAZZIT finished third is persuasive enough to suggest that he can go one better.

About U.K Horse Racing

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

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

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

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

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

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