1	1 1st (1) (Evens +60%) Flamborough		0 Evens(+60%)																															(1) Flamborough Evens, C&D maiden winner in November. Fourteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, 8/1) since. Down the field in a big handicap since C&D maiden win, basically reliable, good chance.
2	5 2nd (5) (17/2 -42%) Morning Soldier		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(5) Morning Soldier 17/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 16/1) 8 days ago, not knocked about. Claims if back to his best. Out of the money in handicaps on his last two starts leaving him with plenty to prove.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 +17%) Striking		5 5/1(+17%)																															(2) Striking 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Below form fifteenth of 23 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 11 days ago. This less competitive and has Jack Kennedy doing the steering. Down the field in a competitive handicap at Leopardstown, clear chance on overall form.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 -100%) El Champo		6 6/1(-100%)																															(3) El Champo 6/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 3 wins from 9 runs this season. 6/1, fourth of 6 in novice chase at Limerick (17.7f, heavy) on debut over fences 11 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Player for last season's winning yard. Progressive in handicaps between last August and October, yard continuing in good form.
5th	6 5th (6) (6/1 -100%) Starman		6 6/1(-100%)																															(6) Starman 6/1, 14/1, career best when winning 6-runner novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 8 days ago. Can give a good account. Found his form again when landing a Limerick contest eight days ago, suited by 2m on heavy.
6th	7 6th (7) (28/1 -100%) The Shantou King		28 28/1(-100%)																															(7) The Shantou King 28/1, Fair hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Listowel in September. 25/1, 15¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Starman in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 8 days ago. Hood back on. Has a bit to find on these terms. Dropped away from two out in the race won by Starman at Limerick, up against it now.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 +36%) Doctor Brown Bear		16 16/1(+36%)																															(4) Doctor Brown Bear 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler. First run since leaving Martin Brassil when last of 12 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Punchestown (24.4f, soft) 41 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Found 3m beyond him on stable debut, this should suit him better but others are preferred.

LTO Selection:

FLAMBOROUGH was arguably too keen for his own good when failing to land a telling blow in a Listed handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse but, back in these calmer waters, he sets a reasonable standard. A winner over C&D on his penultimate start, this represents a significant drop in class for the five-year-old, who is taken to make it two from two at this venue. Starman is an obvious threat on the back his Limerick success just eight days ago, while El Champo is also dangerous to underestimate.

A tight affair. EL CHAMPO shaped as if still in good form when fourth on his Limerick chase debut over Christmas and might be able to provide Philip Rothwell with a second successive win in this contest. Striking didn't figure at Leopardstown over Christmas but had run well at Punchestown prior to that and is respected with Jack Kennedy stepping in for the ride. Last week's Limerick scorer Starman is another who should have a say.

Not much between these on paper, but FLAMBOROUGH makes plenty of appeal as a C&D winner who was generally reliable during 2023

7	7 (7) (9/1 +55%) Sammy's Guarantee		9 9/1(+55%)																															(7) Sammy's Guarantee 9/1, Runner-up sole outing in point bumpers and has shown signs of ability in a trio of starts over hurdles, finishing with some running left at Exeter on her latest outing. Remains capable of better having had a wind op. Tailed off in her three hurdles; has had wind operation since the latest.
1	6 1st (6) (9/4 +63%) Mairis Icon		2.25 9/4(+63%)																															(6) Mairis Icon 9/4, Having been brought along steadily over hurdles, produced her best effort yet when fourth of 11 at this course (19.8f) on handicap debut 18 days ago. Can give her running again back down in distance. Came up short (beaten about 5l) in a Class 5 handicap here last month.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/4 +7%) Majestic Jameela		1.75 7/4(+7%)																															(8) Majestic Jameela 7/4, Modest form on Flat and off the mark at the fifth attempt over hurdles when landing the odds at Leicester in November. Not discredited when fourth in listed juvenile event at Newbury last time and she could be thereabouts once more. Ran well on the figures at Newbury latest; brings strong claims back at this level.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/1 -33%) Bethpage		10 10/1(-33%)																															(1) Bethpage 10/1, Some encouragement when mid-field in a pair of bumpers and, after 7 months off, shaped as if likely to come on for the run when sixth of 10 in mares novice at Huntingdon on hurdles debut in November. Open to improvement. No better than sixth in all her races and twice withdrawn on account of soft ground.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 +65%) Friars Island Lady		7 7/1(+65%)																															(4) Friars Island Lady 7/1, Successful at the eighth time of asking in Irish points. However, with a tongue strap applied she was pulled up at Ludlow (21.2f) on her hurdling debut in October. Needs to leave her latest effort behind dropped in trip (has had a wind op). Took eight goes to win a point; quiet on rules debut and since had a wind op.
3	3 |R| (3) (4/1 -220%) Fresh Kiss		4 4/1(-220%)																															(3) Fresh Kiss 4/1, Fairly useful performer on Flat in France (stays 12.5f) for Christopher Head, winning 4 times. Off 6 months but she's one to note as she makes her stable/hurdling debut. 11 Flat starts in France, winning four from 1m2f to 1m4f (with give underfoot).
5	5 |PU| (5) (50/1 -52%) Jamaicaine		50 50/1(-52%)																															(5) Jamaicaine 50/1, Runner-up only start in French bumpers and offered something to work on when third in mares novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.9f) in February last year. Never on terms making her return from 10 months off at Taunton in December, though. Beaten a long way in two hurdles for this yard; one for handicaps.

LTO Selection:

---

MAJESTIC JAMEELA didn't disgrace herself in Listed company at Newbury and this represents a significant drop in grade, so she may be able to return to the form that saw her win easily at Leicester on her penultimate outing. Fresh Kiss is one to note for market support ahead of her UK/jumping debut, while it is also worth keeping an eye on Mairis Icon.

A four-time winner from 11 starts on the Flat, FRESH KISS is an interesting recruit from France and she could be up to making a winning hurdles debut for Jamie Snowden. Majestic Jameela can give another good account.

Majestic Jameela sets the standard but a chance is taken on four-time French Flat winner FRESH KISS.

1	3 1st (3) (7/2 +75%) Curley Finger		3.5 7/2(+75%)																															(3) Curley Finger 7/2, Dual winner last season who was ridden too aggressively when ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 59 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly with the prospect of an easy lead. Soundly beaten back over hurdles at Musselburgh last time and has to get back on track.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 -13%) Teescomponentstrig		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(4) Teescomponentstrig 9/2, C&D winner who proved he retains all his ability when neck second of 6 to Juge Et Parti in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) 24 days ago. 1 lb better off with that rival here. C&D winner; close second over 2m4f last month and can build on that now back up in trip.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/2 -5%) Artic Mann		3.5 7/2(-5%)																															(7) Artic Mann 7/2, Returned from a long absence with a creditable second at Kelso (20.9f) in October and backed that up when third at same course (25.8f, soft, 9/2) the following month, despite being left poorly placed. Expected to go well again. Two promising runs following long layoff; could have more to offer over staying trips.
4	2 4th (2) (13/2 +24%) Guernesey		6.5 13/2(+24%)																															(2) Guernesey 13/2, Showed he retains plenty of ability on his first outing for this yard after 7 months off when second at Kelso (25.8f) in November. Unsuited by drop in trip at Ayr (20.4f) subsequently, so worth another chance. Second over 3m2f on stable debut, then 5th over 2m4f; step back up in trip could be ideal.
5th	6 5th (6) (16/1 -45%) The Vollan		16 16/1(-45%)																															(6) The Vollan 16/1, Veteran who has run creditably on 3 of his last 4 starts over fences but others still appeal more for win purposes now back over hurdles. Some fair chase form in the autumn; might not be far away now back over hurdles.
6th	5 6th (5) (7/1 -75%) Juge Et Parti		7 7/1(-75%)																															(5) Juge Et Parti 7/1, Took advantage of his much-reduced mark when landing 6-runner handicap hurdle (4/1) at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) 24 days ago, by neck from Teescomponentstrig, driven out. Back up in trip. Narrow win over 2m4f at Hexham last time; should be fine now back up in trip; respected.
7th	1 7th (1) (3/1 +25%) Space Voyage		3 3/1(+25%)																															(1) Space Voyage 3/1, Took very well to hurdling last term, winning 3 small-field novice events. Failed to take to chasing on reappearance but quickly back on track when third in Wincanton handicap hurdle (had breathing op prior) next time. Outclassed in listed event at Kempton since but this is less demanding. Better could have been expected at 3m latest but she could still go well now back in h'cap.

LTO Selection:

---

Juge Et Parti (first) and Teescomponentstrig (second) are closely matched based on their meeting at Hexham last month and both merit plenty of respect as a result. That said, marginal preference is for GUERNESEY, who may have found an extended 2m4f too sharp last time and is better judged on his narrow second over 3m2f at Kelso the time before.

ARTIC MANN has returned from a long absence just about as good as ever and can be afforded a bit extra credit on her most recent outing having fared best of those held up, so she's the percentage call in a tightly-knit handicap. Curley Finger could get an easy time of things out in front and is second choice, ahead of Teescomponentstrig.

The step back up in trip should be ideal for GUERNESEY (nap), who stayed on well for fifth over 2m4f at Ayr last time.

1	7 1st (7) (1/2 +32%) Largy Hill		0.5 1/2(+32%)																															(7) Largy Hill 1/2, Fairly useful bumper winner who shaped with promise sent hurdling when second of 16 in maiden at Navan (20f, heavy, 10/1) 49 days ago. Stable having good spell and likely to improve over this longer trip. Bumper winner; runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Navan last time and form is working out.
2	9 2nd (9) (25/1 -56%) Oscars Brother		25 25/1(-56%)																															(9) Oscars Brother 25/1, €8,000 3-y-o, Malinas gelding. Dam (b81), little show in bumpers/sole start over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/fair chase winner (stayed 19f) Pepporoni Pete. Runner-up all 3 starts in points (latest Nov 5). 2nd in 3 points and form of a couple of those races working out but plenty on plate here.
3	6 3rd (6) (15/2 +0%) Kinturk Kalanisi		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(6) Kinturk Kalanisi 15/2, Runner-up sole outing in points and shaped with promise when fourth of 9 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (19.2f, heavy) on Rules debut 25 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Should have more to offer. Runner-up in point on debut and stayed on well for 4th on rules debut; improver up in trip.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 -33%) Glen Kiln		8 8/1(-33%)																															(3) Glen Kiln 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 20/1, creditable sixth of 16 in maiden hurdle at Naas (19f, soft) 23 days ago. Up in trip. Poor form in bumpers but has improved over hurdles this winter and new trip may suit.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -60%) Jasmin De Cotte		16 16/1(-60%)																															(4) Jasmin De Cotte 16/1, Runner-up sole start in points and offered something to work on when sixth of 18 in maiden hurdle (7/1) at this course (16f, soft) on Rules debut 62 days ago. Significantly up in trip and entitled to improve. 2nd in a point; tried to make all when 6th on hurdle bow; likely improver up in trip.
6th	10 6th (10) (16/5 +4%) Zaidi		3.2 16/5(+4%)																															(10) Zaidi 16/5, Fairly useful maiden hurdler who returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when fourth in 8-runner maiden at Fairyhouse (23.2f, heavy) 21 days ago. Yard in good form. Another bold show likely. Point and bumper winner; has gone close over 2m4f; didn't seem to appreciate 2m7f latest.
7th	8 7th (8) (50/1 -100%) Metalor		50 50/1(-100%)																															(8) Metalor 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. 8/1, sixth of 10 in maiden hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy) 8 days ago, finishing tired. Back up in trip. Distant 2nd 2 starts ago but tailed off on very testing ground last week; best watched.
8th	11 8th (11) (200/1 -100%) Imperial Fox		200 200/1(-100%)																															(11) Imperial Fox 200/1, Well held in bumpers/maiden hurdles. Up in trip. Dual point winner but tailed off in all four starts under rules.
9th	1 9th (1) (250/1 -25%) Asksarcaras		250 250/1(-25%)																															(1) Asksarcaras 250/1, Went with no promise when tailed off in maiden hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy) on NH debut 9 days ago. Tailed off when 200-1 at Limerick last week; hard to recommend on that evidence.
5	5 |PU| (5) (200/1 +0%) Just Jack		200 200/1(+0%)																															(5) Just Jack 200/1, 150/1, pulled up in maiden hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) on NH debut 76 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Pulled up in a point on debut and beaten a long way out when pulled up on rules debut.

LTO Selection:

---

LARGY HILL made a jumping debut full of promise when second behind a hot favourite and subsequent Grade 2 runner-up over 2m4f at Navan and he should come on plenty for that experience, so he is likely to prove very hard to beat. Zaidi has shown enough ability in his five hurdling starts to suggest he should be very competitive in a maiden of this nature and he might prove the main threat. Of the remainder, Jasmin De Cotte makes the most appeal after his sixth at Cork in November.

LARGY HILL shaped well when runner-up to a useful prospect on his hurdling debut at Navan in November and, with the step up in trip expected to suit judged on his pedigree, he's the obvious choice to go one better. Zaidi and Kinturk Kalanisi are considered the main threats.

The standard is set by Zaidi but preference is for LARGY HILL whose form is working out and he should improve stepping up in trip

1	3 1st (3) (10/3 +5%) Fast Buck		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(3) Fast Buck 10/3, Just the one win from 14 starts over fences and has failed to fire last 4 outings. Others preferred. From a yard having winners and he's well treated on peak form from last winter.
2	4 2nd (4) (15/8 +77%) Prince Quali		1.875 15/8(+77%)																															(4) Prince Quali 15/8, Fair chaser in France, winning amateur riders minor event at Auteuil in 2021/22. Missed last season and left David Cottin for €10,000 in February. Almost certainly needed the run on first outing for 20 months in handicap hurdle here 25 days ago. This should reveal more. Hurdle/chase winner in France; quiet British debut over hurdles when easy to back.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/2 +62%) Fakir		2.5 5/2(+62%)																															(6) Fakir 5/2, Won a 3-runner handicap chase at Fontwell early last season. Mixed bag since, failing to build on reappearance second at Sedgefield (21f, soft) when remote fifth at Bangor 22 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Returned to modest mode at Bangor and risky here with cheekpieces turned to.
4	2 4th (2) (7/2 +46%) Mr Grey Sky		3.5 7/2(+46%)																															(2) Mr Grey Sky 7/2, Won on second attempt over fences at Huntingdon on return and followed up at 19 days later at Chepstow (16f, soft), though perhaps rather fortunate given the favourite's fall. However, ran an alarming race in his hat-trick bid at Newbury 17 days ago and headgear now applied. Poor at Newbury 17 days ago but had won his previous two; will like the ground.

LTO Selection:

---

Fast Buck continues to creep down the ratings and is certainly capable of being competitive, as is Magic Saint, who has a 206-day absence to overcome but boasts a record of two wins from three starts at this venue. Prince Quali and Fakir are by no means out of it either, but a chance is taken on MR GREY SKY. Although disappointing at Newbury last time, he won his two previous races at Huntingdon and Chepstow and forecast heavy ground will be right up his street. The 10-year-old may also improve for the application of first-time cheekpieces.

MAGIC SAINT had been running well in hunters before seeming amiss back in a handicap at Newton Abbot in June and is worth another chance back from a break off what remains a tempting mark. Mr Grey Sky is feared most.

Trappy. FAST BUCK lurks on a dangerous mark and could be worth chancing with the stable having two winners with its last three runners.

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Evander. Dam unraced. Placed once from 3 starts in Irish points, last of 7 finishers last time (May 14). Fair third in middle of his three Irish maiden point starts but may be best watched.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/5 -9%) Two Auld Pals		1.2 6/5(-9%)																															(7) Two Auld Pals 6/5, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Jim Goldie (stays 2¼m), won 3 times in 2023. Showed an aptitude for hurdling when second at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) and can be expected to improve. Three-time Flat winner who was second on hurdle debut at Bangor and holds leading claims.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -60%) Forged Well		4 4/1(-60%)																															(1) Forged Well 4/1, Jet Away gelding who was third on his completed start in Irish points and went 2 places better on last month's Carlisle hurdle debut (19.3f), doing it readily under hands-and-heels ride. Entitled to progress. Won on hurdle debut at Carlisle; carries penalty over shorter today, but likeable prospect.
4	6 4th (6) (125/1 -525%) Poetry Man		125 125/1(-525%)																															(6) Poetry Man 125/1, Runner-up completed start in Irish points but has made little impact in a brace of maiden hurdles 5 months apart. Runner-up in a point but well beaten on both hurdle starts; lots of improvement is needed.
5th	4 5th (4) (33/1 +34%) Lord Denning		33 33/1(+34%)																															(4) Lord Denning 33/1, Boasts a decent jumps pedigree but has only hinted at ability in novice hurdles at Carlisle and Ayr. Soundly beaten at Ayr but that race is working out very well; each-way possible.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 +28%) We Got Your Back		18 18/1(+28%)																															(8) We Got Your Back 18/1, Didn't achieve much when a well-held fourth in a Perth bumper in August and finished down the field on October's hurdle debut for new trainer Laura Morgan. His subsequent breathing operation needs to have made a big difference. Tailed off on hurdle debut but wind op since and showed promise in bumper; watch betting.

8th	15 8th (15) (20/1 +20%) Cantalupo Bella		20 20/1(+20%)																															(15) Cantalupo Bella 20/1, Modest maiden on the Flat who came in a remote third of 8 in a Sedgefield juvenile hurdle (16.8f, heavy) on NH debut 51 days ago. Plenty more is required. Flat maiden who was well-beaten third on hurdle debut at Sedgefield and others appeal more.

Not seen since. Promise in summer 2022; absent since but not discounted on comeback.

11th	12 11th (12) (80/1 -142%) Princess Of Mercia		80 80/1(-142%)																															(12) Princess Of Mercia 80/1, Hinted at ability fitted with a tongue strap when a well-held third of 5 in a novice hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) on debut 24 days ago. Well beaten on last month's debut at Hexham; bred to come into her own over further.
12th	10 12th (10) (10/1 +29%) Anamanda		10 10/1(+29%)																															(10) Anamanda 10/1, Fairly useful 3-time winner on the Flat in France for Nicolas Clement but was let down by her jumping when pulled up on Kelso hurdle debut in late November. Pulled up on hurdle debut at Kelso but useful on the Flat in France and not written off.
13th	13 13th (13) (40/1 +39%) Vive De Charnie		40 40/1(+39%)																															(13) Vive De Charnie 40/1, Ran to a fair level in a brace of bumpers for Jamie Snowden but well held both starts over hurdles (hooded latest). Displayed ability in bumpers but struggled in late 2023 on first two hurdle starts.
14	14 |PU| (14) (50/1 -213%) Mad Mode		50 50/1(-213%)																															(14) Mad Mode 50/1, 5/1, last of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Catterick (15.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 43 days ago. Sent off at just 5-1 on debut at Catterick but finished tailed off.

LTO Selection:

---

FORGED WELL was hampered by the errant jumping of one of his rivals three times during his hurdles debut at Carlisle last month and having shown professionalism to emerge as a comfortable winner, he is a likely type to cope with a penalty. Two Auld Pals made an encouraging first start in this discipline at Bangor and rates the biggest threat, ahead of the returning Konfusion.

TWO AULD PALS hit the target 3 times on the Flat in 2023 and found only a previous winner too strong on his recent Bangor hurdle debut, so he's taken to make the most of the 7 lb he receives from the penalised Forged Well, who won readily at Carlisle despite jumping markedly right. Konfusion could be the one to fill the places.

Three-time Flat winner TWO AULD PALS made an encouraging start to his hurdling career when second at Bangor and can go one better.

1	1 1st (1) (9/2 +36%) Da Capo Glory		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(1) Da Capo Glory 9/2, 1 win from 3 runs this season. 18/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, good to soft) in August, behind when pulled up before 2 out. Likely type to bounce back returning from a break. Absent since pulled up in the Galway Hurdle, ought to be competitive in this grade.
2	7 2nd (7) (28/1 +30%) Rebel Early		28 28/1(+30%)																															(7) Rebel Early 28/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (66/1) at this C&D (heavy) 41 days ago, always behind. Others much more persuasive. Won this race two years ago, out of form at the moment, hard to have much confidence.
3	5 3rd (5) (13/2 -136%) Cato's Revenge		6.5 13/2(-136%)																															(5) Cato's Revenge 13/2, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (20f, heavy, 10/1) 10 days ago, quickneing to lead before 2 out and driven out. Of interest again with prospect of more to come in handicaps. Won a 2m4f lady riders contest at Limerick ten days ago; strong chance despite 12lb rise.
4	8 4th (8) (7/1 +30%) Missiee		7 7/1(+30%)																															(8) Missiee 7/1, 9/2, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (20f, heavy) 11 days ago, rallying briefly 4 out and beaten soon after next. Needs to bounce back. Best 2023 run when fourth behind the progressive Buddy One over 2m6f at Galway in October.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/4 -22%) Extrapolation		2.75 11/4(-22%)																															(2) Extrapolation 11/4, 3 wins from 8 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Listowel in September. 5/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, heavy) 6 days ago. Has good chance on form. Listowel winner last autumn, fair third behind an easy winner at Punchestown on Sunday.
6th	3 6th (3) (10/3 +0%) Abbeydale		3.333333 10/3(+0%)																															(3) Abbeydale 10/3, Good fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft, 14/1) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Yard having good spell. Solid claims. Pleasing seasonal/handicap debut when a staying-on fourth over 2m at Thurles, good chance.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 +64%) Ballywilliam Boy		9 9/1(+64%)																															(4) Ballywilliam Boy 9/1, Tenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft, 40/1) 35 days ago, left behind from 2 out. Useful form two seasons ago, Fairyhouse run last month was a step in the right direction.
8th	6 8th (6) (7/1 +0%) Evesham Road		7 7/1(+0%)																															(6) Evesham Road 7/1, Showed promise only start in bumpers and landed a gamble to open hurdles account at first attempt in a Clonmel maiden (19f) in May. Arrives here having unseated in novice hurdle at Thurles (23f) in December and worth noting if market speaks in his favour returned to handicaps. Two inconclusive performances since return from a break, unwise to discount his chance.

LTO Selection:

CATO'S REVENGE went clear to score by four and a half lengths in heavy conditions on his handicap debut at Limerick over Christmas. The seven-year-old now has a 12lb higher rating to contend with, but he should have more to offer and looks the one to beat. Abbeydale returned from a 262-day break to acquit himself well in fourth over 2m at Thurles and could relish this extra distance. Extrapolation is another to consider after his third at Punchestown on New Year's Eve.

EXTRAPOLATION was largely progressive as he scored 3 times last year and, following a solid third at Punchestown (on back of 3 months off) 6 days ago, it would come as no surprise to see him go well again back up in trip. Limerick-scorer Cato's Revenge is a big threat, with Abbeydale another to consider with the step back up in trip expected to suit.

Gordon Elliott's runner ABBEYDALE probably has more potential for improvement than any of the others and should be suited by the trip

1	10 1st (10) (8/1 -7%) Daany		8 8/1(-7%)																															(10) Daany 8/1, Dual winner on the Flat and posted his best effort yet in this sphere when runner-up in a soft-ground C&D handicap in November. Wasn't disgraced at Exeter next time but he again didn't look entirely straightforward and may again find one or two too good. Modest last time but his previous second here brings him into the equation.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 +9%) Fourofakind		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(2) Fourofakind 5/2, Fairly useful form on the Flat in Ireland and made it third time lucky in this sphere at Haydock last spring. However, he hasn't covered himself in glory in handicap company since and now finds himself with a fair bit to prove. Modest for a while but in good hands and the handicapper is giving him a chance.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/2 +46%) One Last Glance		3.5 7/2(+46%)																															(7) One Last Glance 7/2, Fair maiden hurdler who proved he retains all his ability on the back of a 20-month absence when hitting the cossbar in handicap at Lingfield (2m, good to soft). Likely to be in the mix, provided he is able to at least match that level of form here. Returning from 612 days away when very nearly making most of the running at Lingfield.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 +18%) Mini Yeats		7 7/1(+18%)																															(3) Mini Yeats 7/1, Has made the frame on several occasions in maiden, novice and handicap company, and didn't shape badly when fifth in a big-field C&D contest (heavy) back from a 13-month absence. Still, improvement will be needed if he's to open his account at the eighth attempt. 15l behind an impressive winner in a C&D maiden last month on his return from a year out.
5th	8 5th (8) (40/1 -43%) Maroochi		40 40/1(-43%)																															(8) Maroochi 40/1, Deservedly shed maiden tag when dead heating at Newton Abbot (21.5f, good to soft) in September 2022. Placed on a couple of occasions since, including when third off 4 lb higher at Plumpton on penultimate start, but she needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Exeter recently. Inconsistent and even if on a good day, this trip is short of her best.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/1 -6%) Angel's Dream		9 9/1(-6%)																															(4) Angel's Dream 9/1, Much-improved on third hurdles start when landing a 2m Plumpton maiden (good to firm) last May. Safely held next 2 starts but back on track when fourth of 10 in a handicap back at the aforementioned track 19 days ago and should go well if coping with conditions here (soft-ground winner on the Flat). Beaten 7l at Plumpton latest and will need more here off just 2lb lower.
7th	5 7th (5) (33/1 -200%) Clinton Lane		33 33/1(-200%)																															(5) Clinton Lane 33/1, Appeared to take a sizeable step forward when third in an 8-runner C&D maiden in October but his handicap debut display at Lingfield last time wasn't overly inspiring. His improved third at Wincanton in October is beginning to look dodgy form.
9	9 |PU| (9) (4/1 +11%) Feach Amach		4 4/1(+11%)																															(9) Feach Amach 4/1, Fair maiden on the Flat for Jim Bolger and improved plenty on opening hurdles exploits when landing 8-runner Sedgefield juvenile (16.8f, heavy) in November. 4-y-o allowance will be an asset now pitched into a handicap and she's a key player. Brings momentum into handicap debut and unexposed under these conditions.
6	6 |PU| (6) (14/1 +22%) Starevitch		14 14/1(+22%)																															(6) Starevitch 14/1, Irish point winner who shaped with some promise on first 2 starts in novice hurdles after a long absence. Well held on firm ground at Newbury next time prior to a low-key chase debut at Ludlow but 5 lb lower reverting to hurdles here and he's not discounted. Returns to hurdles with low mileage for an 8yo but others have more compelling credentials.

LTO Selection:

---

ONE LAST GLANCE made a pleasing return from a lengthy absence when runner-up at Lingfield in November and the seven-year-old appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to get off the mark. Feach Amach was a surprise winner at Sedgefield when last seen and has to enter calculations on her handicap bow. Angel's Dream and Daany are both capable of being in the mix as well.

FEACH AMACH was arguably a shade fortunate when opening her account at Sedgefield but that still represented a significant step forward and she is taken to follow up on this handicap debut. She may have most to fear from Starevitch, who needs to get back on track now reverting to hurdles but it's entirely possible that he will do just that off this reduced mark. Angel's Dream and One Last Glance are others to consider.

An open race but Sedgefield winner FEACH AMACH is just the type that Nigel Hawke excels with and she can maintain her progress.

1	1 1st (1) (2/7 +19%) Handstands		0.285714 2/7(+19%)																															(1) Handstands 2/7, Won sole start in Irish points and made an impressive hurdling debut when landing a novice at Hereford 3 weeks ago. Should follow up. Point and novice hurdle winner; carries penalty but has by far the best form.
2	10 2nd (10) (8/1 +43%) Taras Halls		8 8/1(+43%)																															(10) Taras Halls 8/1, Bumper winner for Lucy Wadham who was backed as though expected to go close when falling third in a novice at Wetherby on hurdling debut. Poor effort at Market Rasen since, though. Bumper winner but first two hurdle starts have yielded an early fall then a heavy defeat.
3	7 3rd (7) (20/1 +39%) Mayheblucky		20 20/1(+39%)																															(7) Mayheblucky 20/1, Made the frame on all 3 starts in Irish points but the latest of them was in December 2021 so he's presumably had a few issues. Betting the best guide to expectations now hurdling. Made the frame in 3 Irish maiden points in 2021; each-way player if retaining that ability.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 +21%) Boolamore Classic		11 11/1(+21%)																															(2) Boolamore Classic 11/1, Half-brother to useful staying hurdle winner Big Shark,. Runner-up on completed start in Irish points (Oct 1). Respected on Rules debut. Point runner-up; makes rules debut in a race lacking depth and he's an each-way contender.
5th	6 5th (6) (100/1 -52%) Kinder Kid		100 100/1(-52%)																															(6) Kinder Kid 100/1, Third in a point but didn't offer much in a novice hurdle at this course on Rules debut. Hard to make a case for. Well beaten here on rules debut but was third in a point and he's an each-way possible.
6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 -150%) Rock Steady Eddie		25 25/1(-150%)																															(9) Rock Steady Eddie 25/1, Placed in a couple of points and third in a bumper at Hexham 84 days ago. Longer trip should suit, so he's not completely dismissed. Placed in points and on bumper debut; an each-way case can be made on first hurdle start.
7th	3 7th (3) (80/1 +0%) Bowler Jack		80 80/1(+0%)																															(3) Bowler Jack 80/1, Yet to offer any encouragement and looks set for another struggle. Pedigree suggests this step up in trip will suit but dramatic improvement is required.
8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 -200%) Hubbel Bubbel		33 33/1(-200%)																															(5) Hubbel Bubbel 33/1, Showed a bit on first of 2 starts in bumpers but shaped with a little more encouragement both hurdling outings. This demands a chunk of improvement, though. No threat on his four runs but has shown some ability and he's a contender for the places.
9th	4 9th (4) (200/1 -150%) Great Warford		200 200/1(-150%)																															(4) Great Warford 200/1, Little show both runs over hurdles, pulled up in novice at Southwell (15.8f, soft) 20 days ago. Others appeal more. Hasn't shown enough across his three starts to suggest he'll be making an impact today.
10th	8 10th (8) (16/1 -14%) Raffles Wonder		16 16/1(-14%)																															(8) Raffles Wonder 16/1, Bumper winner who has been well held both starts over hurdles and looks more of a handicap type. Well beaten on both hurdle starts but won a bumper; could nab a place if settling better.

LTO Selection:

---

HANDSTANDS, who breezed through his only start in a point-to-point, showed stacks of promise to win by six and a half lengths on his hurdles debut at Hereford three weeks ago and is hard to oppose. The selection obviously shoulders a 7lb penalty, which creates hope for the likes of Hubbel Bubbel and Rock Steady Eddie, who can at least make a race of it.

HANDSTANDS is unbeaten in a point and a novice hurdle at Hereford and he should be capable of defying a penalty. Boolamore Classic and Mayheblucky have both shown ability between the flags, so they're the most feasible dangers.

This is an excellent opportunity for HANDSTANDS to maintain his unbeaten record. Maybe Boolamore Classic will be best of the rest.

4	4 (4) (80/1 -21%) Joe's Turn		80 80/1(-21%)																															(4) Joe's Turn 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Last of 13 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good, 66/1). Off 7 months. Makes chase debut. Point winner; ran okay in bumper on rules debut but poor form since; questions to answer.
1	3 1st (3) (10/3 +49%) Jet Setting Johnny		3.333333 10/3(+49%)																															(3) Jet Setting Johnny 10/3, Fair chaser. 33/1, excellent third of 8 in novice chase at Clonmel (16.8f, heavy) 30 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Looks competitive on form. Credit in two chase starts so far and form of latest 3rd is working out; can go well.
2	8 2nd (8) (33/1 +0%) Thedancingfarrier		33 33/1(+0%)																															(8) Thedancingfarrier 33/1, 33/1, ninth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) 23 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Veteran; has looked regressive over the last 18 months and would need a career best.
3	6 3rd (6) (2/1 +33%) Noble Blue		2 2/1(+33%)																															(6) Noble Blue 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Bit below form fourth of 15 in novice chase (6/4) at Tramore (21.4f, soft) 39 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Promising chase debut, 2nd at Gowran; didn't build on that latest but can resume progress.
4	5 4th (5) (9/4 +55%) Nephin Beg		2.25 9/4(+55%)																															(5) Nephin Beg 9/4, Fair hurdler. Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. 4/1, fell in handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.3f, soft) 8 days ago. Good 3rd in beginners' and still involved when coming down latest but this is tougher.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/1 -170%) Iron Allen		9 9/1(-170%)																															(2) Iron Allen 9/1, Fair hurdler. 9/1, career best when winning 10-runner novice hurdle at Naas (19f, soft) 23 days ago, keeping on well. Switches from hurdles to chase. Likely to improve. Point winner; off the mark under rules over timber latest; bit to find on form though.
6th	10 6th (10) (16/1 +0%) Kellie's Dream		16 16/1(+0%)																															(10) Kellie's Dream 16/1, Fair hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Kilbeggan in July. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 5/1) 105 days ago. Makes chase debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time. 2-13 over hurdles; would need to take her form to a new level on chase debut; tongue-tie.
7th	7 7th (7) (66/1 +0%) Rising Dust		66 66/1(+0%)																															(7) Rising Dust 66/1, Poor hurdler. Tenth of 15 in novice chase at Tramore (21.4f, soft, 80/1) on debut over fences 39 days ago. Minor promise over timber but tailed off in beginners' at Tramore in November.
8th	12 8th (12) (28/1 -75%) Well Polly		28 28/1(-75%)																															(12) Well Polly 28/1, Poor hurdler. 13/2, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24.4f, heavy) 46 days ago. Makes chase debut. Dual hurdle winner; struggling for form of late; hard to recommend on chase debut.
9th	9 9th (9) (17/2 -209%) Aghmorough Bridge		8.5 17/2(-209%)																															(9) Aghmorough Bridge 17/2, 50/1, career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy) 8 days ago, kept up to work. Plenty more needed back over fences. 3 point wins; defied odds of 50-1 when bolting up last week; needs more back over fences.
10th	1 10th (1) (80/1 -220%) Downtheoldbogroad		80 80/1(-220%)																															(1) Downtheoldbogroad 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, heavy, 16/1) 30 days ago. Makes chase debut. Up in trip. Promising debut in March 2022 but has struggled since and he's best watched on chase debut.

LTO Selection:

---

NOBLE BLUE may have disappointed when a well-fancied favourite at Tramore in November, but he is better judged on his previous second at Gowran Park behind a subsequent Grade 2 winner. That form looks the strongest on offer and he can get off the mark at the main expense of recent surprise Limerick hurdles scorer Aghmorough Bridge and Nephin Beg, whose only career triumph came over timber here in December 2022. Iron Allen and Knocknagappagh are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

NOBLE BLUE disappointed at Tramore last time bearing in mind his chase debut promise but it possibly came too soon just 17 days on and is worth another chance in what looks a winnable maiden. Jet Setting Johnny showed improved form on his second go chasing when third at Clonmel and is next best ahead of recent maiden hurdle winner Iron Allen.

JET SETTING JOHNNY has made a promising start to life over fences and the form of his 3rd at Clonmel last month is working out

1	4 1st (4) (11/2 +45%) Dibble Decker		5.5 11/2(+45%)																															(4) Dibble Decker 11/2, Back-to-back winner of handicap chases at Huntingdon last season but he was put in his place when down the field in the C&D race won by Huelgoat in November. Tongue strap applied. Looked rusty when well behind Huelgoat on his return and he was easy to back.
2	6 2nd (6) (17/2 -31%) Iconic Muddle		8.5 17/2(-31%)																															(6) Iconic Muddle 17/2, Relatively low-mileage 11-y-o who was a good second at Kempton back from 14 months off last February. Signed that campaign off with a below-par effort at the same course but now 1 lb below last winning mark and he's dangerous to discount. Veteran who is on a good mark and can go well when fresh; stable also in form.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +11%) Georges Saint		2 2/1(+11%)																															(3) Georges Saint 2/1, Drew a blank over hurdles for current connections but was a winning chaser in France and made it 2-3 over fences on these shores when scoring in good style at Fakenham (21.2f, heavy) recently. 7 lb rise tolerable and will be the one to beat. On a hat-trick; 7lb rise for Fakenham probably asks quite a question of him but respected.
4	7 4th (7) (10/3 +39%) Jacamar		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(7) Jacamar 10/3, Capitalised on drop in grade when landing 9-runner handicap chase at Leicester last February. Largely below par since but latest C&D second represented a step back in the right direction and he's a key player off the same mark with cheekpieces refitted. It was in a lower grade when second here on Boxing Day but should be thereabouts.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 -100%) Go Steady		11 11/1(-100%)																															(5) Go Steady 11/1, Dual winner in handicap chases last season and arrives here having been far from discredited when fourth in veterans' company at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft). Now 3 lb lower but this 12-y-o looks vulnerable for a win purposes in any case. Respectable fourth at Cheltenham and looks a major player now down a grade.
6th	1 6th (1) (6/1 -80%) Huelgoat		6 6/1(-80%)																															(1) Huelgoat 6/1, Four-time winner over fences during first half of last season and impressed with his strength at the finish in a well-run race to go in again over this C&D in November. Demanding 3m probably not his bag at Sandown last time and better showing anticipated. C&D winner on good to soft; flopped at Sandown and conditions are again a worry.
7th	2 7th (2) (14/1 +13%) Honneur D'ajonc		14 14/1(+13%)																															(2) Honneur D'ajonc 14/1, Won 4 times over hurdles in 2021/22 and came good at the fifth time of asking over fences in handicap at Hereford last January. However, has failed to complete on 3 of his 4 subsequent starts and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Won a year ago but a rocky road since and cheekpieces did nothing last time.

LTO Selection:

---

GEORGES SAINT has stepped forward since his first crack at British fences with a pair of victories at Ffos Las and Fakenham. Venetia Williams' grey went up 7lb for the most recent success and further progression appears likely with conditions in his favour. Jacamar is well handicapped on his novice form and remains on the same mark as when runner-up here on Boxing Day. Iconic Muddle ran well when returning from a break at Kempton last season and is noted on this latest comeback off a 5lb lower mark.

GEORGES SAINT is weighted to go well again and looks the one to beat. Having found 3m too much of a test at Sandown last month, Huelgoat is of strong interest back at the scene of his latest success in November. Jacamar and Iconic Muddle are not discounted.

Life is about to get tougher for Georges Saint and preference is for GO STEADY who ran well in a higher grade at Cheltenham.

1	3 1st (3) (7/2 +75%) Carrigeen Castle		3.5 7/2(+75%)																															(3) Carrigeen Castle 7/2, Just poor form over hurdles in Ireland and hasn't fired yet for new yard, acknowledging he showed some aptitude when third in a handicap at Hexham 24 days ago. Ran better than bare result suggests on chase debut at Hexham; no surprise to see good run.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +47%) En Meme Temps		4 4/1(+47%)																															(2) En Meme Temps 4/1, Belatedly hit the target over fences when landing a heavy-ground 2½m Hexham handicap in March. Reappearance second over the same C&D was a solid effort and not disgraced here last time. Stretched by the extended 2m7f here last time; could have a big say now back down in trip.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/1 +29%) Torosay		10 10/1(+29%)																															(4) Torosay 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden who progressed with each start over hurdles last term but hasn't taken to chasing as yet. Pulled up on last month's chase debut at Hexham but still early days and not written off.
4	8 4th (8) (3/1 +33%) Goodoldbill		3 3/1(+33%)																															(8) Goodoldbill 3/1, Sprang a surprise, on second start over fences, when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (good to soft) 44 days ago by neck from Imperial Alex, always holding on. Just 3 lb higher now and must enter calculations. 33-1 win here in November and major player if backing up that performance.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/2 +50%) Great Raffles		5.5 11/2(+50%)																															(7) Great Raffles 11/2, Dual winner over hurdles who acquitted himself well in defeat in all 4 starts last term. Lacklustre start to chasing at this course last time but might benefit from the experience. Tailed off here on chase debut but may have needed the run; on a fair mark on hurdle form.
1	1 |PU| (1) (4/1 +47%) Attention All		4 4/1(+47%)																															(1) Attention All 4/1, Debut hurdles winner at this course but has failed to reproduce it. Quiet start to life over fences at Carlisle 20 days ago but might do better upped in trip. Has failed to progress but going left-handed may be a help on this second chase start.
9	9 |PU| (9) (50/1 -25%) Glenavaddra		50 50/1(-25%)																															(9) Glenavaddra 50/1, Point winner but has shown nothing so far under Rules, including on chasing debut at Hexham 24 days ago. His handicap/chase debut wasn't devoid of promise but others are more compelling.

This can go the way of GOODOLDBILL, who was a determined winner over further here in November and should not be inconvenienced by the drop in distance on this occasion. A 3lb rise looks manageable and he can see off the likes of En Meme Temps and Empty Nest, who improved from first to second start over fences to finish a close-up third at Catterick last month.

EMPTY NEST made the odd mistake before rattling home in eye-catching fashion at Catterick last time, so he's worth a chance to put it all together now. Coolkill and Goodoldbill look the main threats.

Having not looked short of pace when winning over 2m7f here in November, the unexposed 8yo GOODOLDBILL is taken to follow up.

1	4 1st (4) (13/2 -160%) R'evelyn Pleasure		6.5 13/2(-160%)																															(4) R'evelyn Pleasure 13/2, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Didn't need to improve to win 5-runner veterans' handicap chase (5/4) at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) 8 days ago, bit in hand. Easy winner of a veterans' chase at Limerick last week, this looks more competitive.
2	5 2nd (5) (2/1 +40%) Baldur's Gate		2 2/1(+40%)																															(5) Baldur's Gate 2/1, Off the mark in handicap chase at Punchestown in November. Creditable third of 11 in handicap chase (5/1) at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) 8 days ago, travelling best. Shortlist material. Won over an extended 3m at Punchestown; fair third off his revised mark at Limerick.
3	1 3rd (1) (13/2 -117%) Street Value		6.5 13/2(-117%)																															(1) Street Value 13/2, C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this season. 22/1, career best when winning 18-runner handicap chase at Fairyhouse (29.6f, soft) 34 days ago. Return to a significantly shorter trip a bit of a worry. Won 3m5f Porterstown Chase at Fairyhouse, won this race off 115 in 2022, now 17lb higher.
4	2 4th (2) (11/2 +0%) Time To Rocco		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(2) Time To Rocco 11/2, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap chase (6/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 34 days ago. Has done most of her racing in conditions races, fourth in a mares' handicap on latest.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/2 +25%) Old Soul		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(3) Old Soul 9/2, Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (24.3f, heavy, 16/1) 21 days ago. Runner-up at Galway in October, failed to build on that at Fairyhouse three weeks ago.
6th	6 6th (6) (4/1 +56%) Weihnachts		4 4/1(+56%)																															(6) Weihnachts 4/1, Won this from a similar mark last season. Much more miss than hit since but he might have been targeted at this race again. All the more interesting if backed. Has dropped in the ratings since winning this race last year, 3lb out of the handicap.

LTO Selection:

---

STREET VALUE was an impressive winner of the Porterstown over 3m5f at Fairyhouse a month ago and merits plenty of respect once again, despite the drop in trip and a 7lb rise in the ratings. R'evelyn Pleasure also won well last time - at Limerick over Christmas - and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Baldur's Gate and Old Soul are others who could make the frame.

BALDUR'S GATE impressed with the way he travelled for a long way when third at Limerick last week, suggesting he could still be on the up. Last year's winner Weihnachts might have been aimed for this race again and is feared most, particularly if the market speaks in his favour.

Despite being 3lb out of the handicap WEIHNACHTS may be able to repeat last year's victory in this race for his in-form trainer

1	7 1st (7) (15/2 +25%) Rare Clouds		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(7) Rare Clouds 15/2, Sole win came at Southwell in May 2022 and has made the frame on each completed outing since, excellent third of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) last time. Not without hope. Placed on all three starts this season but may find at least a couple better handicapped.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/4 +55%) Astronomic View		2.25 9/4(+55%)																															(3) Astronomic View 9/4, Exeter bumper winner who has shown fair form in a light hurdle career, hitting the crossbar switched to handicaps back at Exeter (18.5f) and Bangor (23f) the last twice. Has to enter calculations. Runner-up in first two handicaps and could still have a bigger run in him.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 +0%) Don't Rightly Know		5 5/1(+0%)																															(2) Don't Rightly Know 5/1, Defied a long absence when readily gettting off the mark in an Exeter novice in November. Backed that up when collared close home over this C&D next time and she's not without hope now handicapping, for all that this assignment demands improvement. Won Exeter novice in November and ran big race in defeat over C&D last month; major player.
4	4 4th (4) (5/2 -81%) Individualiste		2.5 5/2(-81%)																															(4) Individualiste 5/2, Fair on the Flat in France and appeared to improve for the fitting of cheekpieces when bolting up at Taunton (19f, good to soft) last weekend. Several of his main rivals seemingly underperformed on that occasion but he's still lightly-raced and is effectively just 4 lb higher here. Won easily in first-time cheekpieces a week ago and is now 2-6 over hurdles.
5th	1 5th (1) (12/1 +14%) Bumpy Johnson		12 12/1(+14%)																															(1) Bumpy Johnson 12/1, Won pair of 2½m Ffos Las handicap hurdles in a productive 2022/3 campaign. Very much one to consider back in this sphere following a couple of inauspicious displays over fences. Chasing has not gone to plan this season but he reverts to hurdling on last winning mark.
6th	5 6th (5) (15/2 -67%) Intimate		7.5 15/2(-67%)																															(5) Intimate 15/2, Placed in a bumper in France and has left his low-key hurdles debut behind since undergoing a wind op, finishing a close third upped to 2½m at Uttoxeter (heavy) recently. Mark for this handicap debut looks fair and bold show likely. Close third in Uttoxeter maiden last month and open to further improvement in handicaps.
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 +0%) Hasty Parisian		16 16/1(+0%)																															(6) Hasty Parisian 16/1, Consistent sort who was in the process of running his usual creditable race back from 4 months off when departing 2 out at Newton Abbot (21.6f, heavy) in October. However, his subsequent Exeter display was not so good. Consistent in first half of last year and didn't run badly last month, after a break.

LTO Selection:

---

INDIVIDUALISTE bolted up over 2m3f at Taunton last week and he was only put up 4lb for that victory, which could prove to be very lenient, and he might be hard to beat again. Astronomic View has hit the crossbar the last twice and is likely to be on the premises off a 3lb higher mark than his latest effort at Bangor. Intimate could also have a say on his handicap bow after his close-up third at Uttoxeter.

Cases can be made for the majority of these with INTIMATE shading preference ahead of facile Taunton winner Individualiste. The selection appears to be going the right way judged on his close third at Uttoxeter and there could be better to come now that he ventures down the handicap route. Bumpy Johnson is on a winning mark back in this sphere and is best of the rest.

Low-mileage mare DON'T RIGHTLY KNOW (nap) was impressive when winning at Exeter in November and nearly followed up over C&D last month.

1	4 1st (4) (15/8 +6%) Yealand		1.875 15/8(+6%)																															(4) Yealand 15/8, Has been brought along steadily, fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) 22 days ago. Back up in trip for his handicap debut and expected to be bang there off an attractive opening mark. Displayed promise in all three qualifying runs; can improve in handicaps.
2	10 2nd (10) (13/2 +35%) Glory Hights		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(10) Glory Hights 13/2, Little impact in a bumper/trio of novice hurdles. Goes into handicaps with lots more required. Tailed off at triple-digit odds in three novice hurdles last year; handicap debut today.
3	5 3rd (5) (22/1 -83%) Scalloway Bay		22 22/1(-83%)																															(5) Scalloway Bay 22/1, Well held in bumper/completed start over hurdles. Needs to step forward in first-time tongue tie now handicapping. Showed no promise in novice/maiden hurdles; improvement possible in handicaps.
4	2 4th (2) (33/1 -83%) Not Staying Long		33 33/1(-83%)																															(2) Not Staying Long 33/1, Won 3-runner novice hurdle at Catterick (25.3f) in February on final run for Patrick Neville. Off 10 months before pulled up in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Doncaster (24.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Something to prove for new yard. Won three-runner novice last season but struggled on stable/handicap debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 +13%) Tommy Johnson		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(1) Tommy Johnson 7/2, Bred to stay well and has shown some promise in this sphere, fifth of 12 in novice hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Can do better now handicapping. In the mix. Runner-up on debut; two lesser efforts have followed but he remains open to improvement.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 +45%) Donso Star		11 11/1(+45%)																															(6) Donso Star 11/1, Maiden hurdler who came in ninth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft) 19 days ago. Significantly up in trip with work to do. Safely held in first two handicaps; upped in trip today; improvement required.
7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 +14%) Wild Polly		12 12/1(+14%)																															(3) Wild Polly 12/1, Well held when brought down 4 out in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f) 8 months ago. Returns over hurdles with others preferred. Given a chance by the handicapper but not an easy mare to weigh up at present.
8th	8 8th (8) (4/1 +0%) Robert D'Ores		4 4/1(+0%)																															(8) Robert D'Ores 4/1, Offered little in a handful of runs over hurdles but made much more of an impact in two runs over fences, clear when unseated rider 2 out in 3m Hexham handicap chase in May. Should have more to offer back in this sphere if fully tuned up for his return. Made promising start to chasing career last May; back hurdling after a break.
9th	9 9th (9) (25/1 -14%) Mister Smarty		25 25/1(-14%)																															(9) Mister Smarty 25/1, Poor form shown in 2 bumpers and a trio of novice hurdles. Needs to take a big step forward now going into handicaps. Showed promise in one qualifying run but makes only limited appeal in first handicap.

LTO Selection:

---

ROBERT D'ORES looked to hold every chance of breaking the maiden when unseating his rider two out over fences at Hexham last May, and he may be able to gain compensation on his return/switch to hurdles. The unexposed seven-year-old should have too much for handicap debutant Yealand, as well as Tommy Johnson, who is a player if bouncing back to the form of his debut second at Carlisle.

YEALAND looks to have got in lightly for his handicap bow so Jennie Candlish's lightly-raced 5-y-o gets the vote in a handicap where plenty arrive with a question mark against them. Tommy Johnson also goes into handicaps with more to offer so rates the main threat, while Robert d'Ores can't be discounted if on song for his seasonal return.

The most appealing option is YEALAND, who looked quite promising in his qualifying races. Tommy Johnson is second choice.

1	3 1st (3) (13/8 +73%) Familiar Dreams		1.625 13/8(+73%)																															(3) Familiar Dreams 13/8, Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, below form fifth of 12 in bumper at Tipperary (16.2f, soft) 97 days ago. Best form gives her a solid chance and could bounce back after a break. Unlucky not to have won a bumper yet and placed in a mares' Listed bumper last term.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/3 +26%) Knockarina		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(5) Knockarina 10/3, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 9 in bumper (80/1) at Fairyhouse (16.1f, heavy) 21 days ago. Shouldn't be ruled out. Low-key debut but better when staying on for third at Fairyhouse latest; may build on that.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 -139%) Cathedral Rocks		4.5 9/2(-139%)																															(2) Cathedral Rocks 9/2, Fastnet Rock mare. Dam unraced. Not much to go on pedigree wise but represents a powerful yard and could be worth chancing if the market speaks in her favour. Fastnet Rock mare; dam unraced sister to Irish Derby winner; yard get bumper winners.
4	8 4th (8) (4/1 -14%) Shannon Bank		4 4/1(-14%)																															(8) Shannon Bank 4/1, Twice-raced maiden. 11/2, sixth of 14 in bumper at Galway (16.6f, soft) 117 days ago. Debut was encouraging and she's not one to write off yet. 2 good runs in Galway bumpers; pedigree suggests she may need further but can have a say.
5th	6 5th (6) (16/1 -129%) Madge A Chroi		16 16/1(-129%)																															(6) Madge A Chroi 16/1, Shantou mare. Dam unraced out of fair hurdler/smart chaser (winner up to 3m) Cailin Alainn. Worth a market check. Shantou mare; dam unraced sister to 2m4f/3m hurdle winner Mister Butler; may need further.
6th	1 6th (1) (125/1 -279%) Ballymores Dream		125 125/1(-279%)																															(1) Ballymores Dream 125/1, Getaway mare. Dam modest 2¾m hurdle winner. Getaway mare; dam 2m6f hurdle winner; stoutly bred and likely best watched on debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (12/1 +64%) Heidi's Frontiere		12 12/1(+64%)																															(4) Heidi's Frontiere 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, eighth of 16 in bumper at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Up against it. Refused in a point and shown little in two runs under rules since.
8th	9 8th (9) (22/1 -57%) Venturi Effect		22 22/1(-57%)																															(9) Venturi Effect 22/1, Vita Venturi mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler No Fussing, stays 23f. Doesn't make much appeal on paper. Vita Venturi mare; half-sister to 2m5f hurdle winner No Fussing; dam Flat maiden.

LTO Selection:

---

KNOCKARINA defied 80/1 odds when improving from her Galway debut to finish third at Fairyhouse last month and the daughter of Champs Elysees, who has proven herself on testing ground, is taken to get off the mark on this occasion. Familiar Dreams boasts plenty of experience and enters calculations, although she may prove vulnerable for win purposes. Cathedral Rocks is an interesting newcomer, with her dam an unraced full-sister to Irish Derby winner Trading Leather, and completes the shortlist.

CATHEDRAL ROCKS represents a shrewd yard so, while her pedigree doesn't provide any clues, she might be the way to go in a thin race. Familiar Dreams has the best form on show, so she's a player if able to bounce back, and Made A Chroi is another interesting debutant.

This isn't a deep race and it could be a good opportunity for FAMILIAR DREAMS who was knocking on the door all last season

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 -14%) Haston Clermont		4 4/1(-14%)																															(2) Haston Clermont 4/1, Failed to match bumper promise in 3 novice hurdles last season but left chase/handicap bow well behind when winning at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft) on second start back 26 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Should have more to offer in this sphere. Ground it out over 2m7f at Lingfield and can improve again for going further here.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/1 +13%) Seymour Promise		7 7/1(+13%)																															(6) Seymour Promise 7/1, Long-standing maiden who was again prominent in the betting at Exeter last time but seems to have completely lost his form. Remains a maiden (0-18) and he had a bit of a shocker behind Percy Veering last month.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 +75%) Hilltown		3.5 7/2(+75%)																															(5) Hilltown 7/2, Most fortunate when getting off the mark hurdles at Plumpton (25f, soft) in April but held his form reasonably well subsequently in that sphere. Hasn't posed much of a threat over fences in 3 starts to date, however, let down by jumping at Lingfield latest. Won off a much higher mark over hurdles but very opposable on his chasing exploits.
4	3 4th (3) (5/2 +0%) Caeruleum		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(3) Caeruleum 5/2, Well held in novice hurdles but showed some improvement on handicap bow when sixth here on belated return and even better switched to fences for the first time when 4¼ lengths second to Percy Veering at Exeter last month, clear of rest. 5 lb better off with winner here. Tongue strap on. Big shout. Kept Percy Veering busy at Exeter and has a 5lb pull this afternoon.
1	1 |F| (1) (4/1 -100%) Percy Veering		4 4/1(-100%)																															(1) Percy Veering 4/1, Much improved this season after a breathing operation, winning all 3 starts in handicap chases, including at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) 24 days ago by 4¼ lengths from Caeruleum. 5 lb worse off with runner-up here but solid claims nonetheless. A further 6lb rise equates to a 19lb hike in all for his hat-trick but he's likeable.
4	4 |PU| (4) (18/1 -200%) Galway Mahler		18 18/1(-200%)																															(4) Galway Mahler 18/1, Returned to form from out of the blue fitted with this headgear when 1½ lengths third of 12 to Haston Clermont in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft) 26 days ago but remains to be seen if able to back that up (pulled up 5 of 6 previous starts). Latest improved third may be a tad dubious but it was his first run in cheekpieces.

LTO Selection:

---

PERCY VEERING is unbeaten in three starts since undergoing a second wind operation and his latest success at Exeter suggested his winning streak isn't likely to come to an end just yet. He is now rated 19lb higher than at the beginning of his sequence, but could continue his rapid improvement. Haston Clermont struck at Lingfield last month and can prove the main threat off a 5lb higher rating, while Caeruleum may show more in a first-time tongue-tie.

CAERULEUM found Percy Veering too strong when first and second at Exeter last month but Caeruleum was making his chase debut that day so may be able to reverse the placings with a 5 lb swing in the weights. Haston Clermont was suited by the stamina test when off the mark at Lingfield and is best of the others.

He's shooting up the weights but PERCY VEERING is a likeable handicapper who keeps things simple and he might well win again.

Dam, useful Italian 1m winner (including at 2 yrs) who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to useful 8.5f-11f (minor US stakes) winner Picou. Yard's newcomers always command respect.

In good hands and he's the type to do better. Improved when fourth at Wolverhampton; type to keep getting better as he gains experience.

That experience won't have been wasted on her and better to come. Promising third at 66-1 on debut; should be more clued up today.

Brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Nevereversaynever and 6f winner Never Cry Never. Dam 6f /7f winner (including at 2 yrs). Makes plenty of appeal on paper for yard amongst the winners. Considered. 90,000euros yearling; by No Nay Never; another interesting newcomer on paper.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/1 +73%) Hardman		9 9/1(+73%)																															(3) Hardman 9/1, Once-raced maiden. 14/1, ninth of 13 in minor event at Redcar (5f, good) on debut in September, racing off the pace and never involved. Gelded subsequently and this ought to reveal more. Well-held ninth at Redcar (5f; 14-1) on debut; gelded since; needs significant improvement.
7th	9 7th (9) (200/1 -100%) Queen For Adaay		200 200/1(-100%)																															(9) Queen For Adaay 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 250/1) 15 days ago. Hard to fancy. Has shown little in two runs to date and may be more of a long-term prospect.
8th	5 8th (5) (66/1 -100%) Power Shot		66 66/1(-100%)																															(5) Power Shot 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/2) 28 days ago, very slowly away and always behind. Handicaps entitled to be more his bag. Bit to prove after beating only one home at Wolverhampton last time.

LTO Selection:

---

Musical Touch just about sets the standard from those with previous experience but the form is modest and this might go the way of one of the newcomers. Cuban Tiger looks the part on paper and enter calculations starting out for a highly respected yard. However, WINTER WAR has synthetics winners in his pedigree and he shades the vote, with his stable having already enjoyed a profitable start to the new year.

An interesting novice for the time of the year with several interesting newcomers in opposition, including WINTER WAR. He makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard amongst the winners and could be the way to go without the benefit of market clues. Cuban Tiger is interestin, too. Chelmsford eye-catcher Alfa Kelllenic completes the shortlist.

Preference is for MUSICAL TOUCH who looks the type to get better with racing and shaped nicely at Wolverhampton last time.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Secret Angel and winner up to 1m Queensbrydge. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner). This newcomer would very much enter the reckoning if the betting speaks for him. 110,000gns yearling; likely type on pedigree and the market should be revealing.
4	6 4th (6) (14/1 -100%) Rob's Umberella		14 14/1(-100%)																															(6) Rob's Umberella 14/1, 40,000 gns Showcasing half-brother to winner abroad by New Approach. Dam, 1¼m winner, closely related to very smart 1m winner Mustashry. Debutant from a respected stable. Needs a market check. 40,000gns yearling; nice pedigree but early signs are that he will need further than 6f.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 -100%) Noble Consort		50 50/1(-100%)																															(4) Noble Consort 50/1, Modest form in 2 outings on AW in recent months. Probably more one for handicaps. Well held first 2 starts, over 6f and 7f; open to improvement, possibly in handicaps.
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 -50%) Eastern Dream		12 12/1(-50%)																															(3) Eastern Dream 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. Stepped up on debut when fifth of 10 in novice at this course (7f, 15/2) 25 days ago, no extra final 1f. Drops in trip now. Both runs over 7f but looks quite speedy and well worth a go over 6f.
7th	8 7th (8) (150/1 -50%) Kohana Girl		150 150/1(-50%)																															(8) Kohana Girl 150/1, Well held in 2 outings on turf in September. Triple-figure prices and no serious form claims on her 6f and 5f turf runs in September.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 +0%) Diligent Henry		33 33/1(+0%)																															(2) Diligent Henry 33/1, £14,000 Due Diligence gelding. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 9.2f Just Little. The betting is the best guide to expectations with this newcomer. £14,000 yearling; pedigree suggests longer trips will be in order later.

Artistic Mission was a respectable second to a bright prospect over 7f here last month and is noteworthy with a visor now tried as he drops in trip. Novarro, who cost 110,000gns as a yearling, boasts a solid pedigree and is another to note in the betting. However, ROMAN EMPEROR, a half-brother to a winner over this distance, ran a blinder when second on his all-weather debut last month and could be hard to beat with another step forward here.

ROMAN EMPEROR gets the nod to build on his recent Chelmsford second and make it third time lucky, although a strong market move for newcomer Novarro would put a slightly different slant on things. The other Sheikh Mohammed Obaid runner Artistic Mission should also be thereabouts.

This can go to ROMAN EMPEROR who looks the one to beat on his Newbury debut form and an encouraging return from a break at Chelmsford.

1	1 1st (1) (5/1 +0%) Landlordtothestars		5 5/1(+0%)																															(1) Landlordtothestars 5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Good third of 12 in handicap over this C&D 15 days ago. Respected. Acts well on this surface; needs extra following close C&D 3rd but J Leavy's claim a help.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/5 +64%) Cephalus		0.8 4/5(+64%)																															(5) Cephalus 4/5, Left his previous efforts for this yard well behind when landing a gamble at Lingfield (1m) just before Christmas. Raised 4 lb but continues to look well treated on old form. C&D winner; back to form latest after very quiet spell; 12lb below highest winning mark.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 -50%) Island Native		9 9/1(-50%)																															(6) Island Native 9/1, Maiden. 11/8, first run since leaving Heather Main when bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 49 days ago. Early days for shrewd new connections. Some good efforts in AW handicaps but couldn't sustain effort for new yard latest.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 -17%) Top Button		7 7/1(-17%)																															(2) Top Button 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f, 7/2) 26 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Hollie Doyle up for a trainer making a name for himself. Needs considering. Has improved since handicapping and the extra furlong should suit on pedigree.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 -150%) Concert Boy		20 20/1(-150%)																															(3) Concert Boy 20/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 4/1 and visored first time, respectable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 48 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Has won on Tapeta elsewhere; hampered 3rd over 1m at Newcastle latest; on a handy mark.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 -17%) Odd Socks Havana		14 14/1(-17%)																															(7) Odd Socks Havana 14/1, Won twice at Newcastle last winter. 6/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) on Thursday. Likely to be thereabouts if coping with the quick turnaround. Four AW wins on Tapeta elsewhere but rarely runs here and not for two years.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 +10%) Island Of Skye		9 9/1(+10%)																															(4) Island Of Skye 9/1, Latest win at Kempton in November. Caught too far back when seventh of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) since. Both wins at 1m on Kempton Polytrack but acts on Tapeta elsewhere; place chance.
8th	8 8th (8) (200/1 -100%) Fast Deal		200 200/1(-100%)																															(8) Fast Deal 200/1, Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle (150/1) at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Down in trip. Poor on last Flat outing. Maiden; had a stab at many different scenarios without finding his niche.

Refreshed by a break after being treated for stomach ulcers, CEPHALUS returned to form with a vengeance over this trip at Lingfield just before Christmas and is presented with a good chance of following up from just 4lb higher. Landlordtothestars is still unexposed at this distance and is suggested as the biggest threat to the selection off 3lb higher than last month's win over the extended mile at Wolverhampton, while Concert Boy is also considered from a handy mark.

CEPHALUS won off marks in the 70s during his time with Charlie Hills so a 4 lb rise for Lingfield doesn't look enough to stop him now he's back in form. Hollie Doyle takes over the reins on lightly-raced 6-y-o Top Button who is second choice ahead of Landlordtothestars.

This is surely all about CEPHALUS who burst out of the wilderness at Lingfield and has a lot going for him at the weights.

1	1 1st (1) (9/4 -105%) Ultramarine		2.25 9/4(-105%)																															(1) Ultramarine 9/4, Put it all together in recent months and made it 2 wins from last 3 starts when landing 9-runner Wolverhampton handicap (7f) 18 days ago, always travelling well and just holding on. Big shout once more. Won on AW in two of his last three runs, including at Wolverhampton last time; key player.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/4 +50%) Bowood		1.25 5/4(+50%)																															(2) Bowood 5/4, 11/4, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 15 days ago, headway inside final 1f and running on. Definite possibilities with blinkers now the headgear of choice. Placed in 7f AW handicaps in last three starts and should go well again; new headgear.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/2 +29%) Conquest Of Power		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(4) Conquest Of Power 5/2, 5f winner as a juvenile who got back on track in refitted cheekpieces during second half of last year, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 15 days ago, challenging over 1f out and keeping on. In good form since returned to AW and he's respected on this step up to 7f.
4	3 4th (3) (20/1 +20%) Renesmee		20 20/1(+20%)																															(3) Renesmee 20/1, Successful at odds of 40/1 on yard debut in August but not scaled same heights since, eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, 80/1) 31 days ago. Has fallen back down to last winning mark but not easy to warm to at present. Won at Yarmouth in August but has struggled in three runs for this yard since.
5th	5 5th (5) (40/1 -100%) Lady Manyara		40 40/1(-100%)																															(5) Lady Manyara 40/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 66/1) 21 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and first-time visor needs to have positive effect now. Has struggled in all three handicaps and has a lot to prove; visor added.

It might have taken ULTRAMARINE 21 attempts to open his account, but the son of Zoffany soon doubled that tally. David Evans' charge remains competitively treated judged on past exploits, so a 3lb rise for last month's Wolverhampton victory should not prevent him from mounting another stern challenge. First-time blinkers could elicit some improvement from Bowood, who continues to run well in defeat. Conquest Of Power tackles 7f for the first time and that looks a positive move.

A tricky opener with the narrow vote in favour of BOWOOD. He's run well all 3 starts since the cheekpieces were applied and, now equipped with blinkers, he could be worth chancing to finally shed the maiden tag. Ultramarine arrives having landed 2 of his last 3 starts and is feared most, ahead of Conquest of Power.

The vote goes to ULTRAMARINE who has won on AW in two of his last three runs. Bowood is feared most, ahead of Conquest Of Power

1	1 1st (1) (5/6 +53%) Billy Webster		0.833333 5/6(+53%)																															(1) Billy Webster 5/6, Showed much improved form fitted with first-time cheekpieces when resuming winning ways in 11-runner nursery (11/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 42 days ago, by length from Cotai Vision, readily. Hit with 9 lb rise but looks sure to go well again. Impressed at Wolverhampton on nursery debut; up 9lb but there's more to come.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 -10%) Cotai Vision		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(4) Cotai Vision 11/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in September and again ran well when second to a much-improved one over C&D 22 days ago, clear of rest. Likely to go well again. Good runs in defeat over 5f the last twice; should give her running again.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 -157%) Out Of The Stars		9 9/1(-157%)																															(3) Out Of The Stars 9/1, Found things easier back down in grade when winning 9-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 21 days ago. Into handicaps now but her opening mark demands more. Only defeat in three 2yo runs came at Royal Ascot; can progress further now handicapping.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 -38%) Call Glory		9 9/1(-38%)																															(2) Call Glory 9/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in September and again ran respectably when fourth of 8 in nursery at this course (6.1f, 13/2) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Running creditably for this yard but more exposed than most; headgear needs to help.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/2 +22%) Mart		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(5) Mart 7/2, Resumed progress when winning 10-runner nursery at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 5/2) 11 days ago. Nudged up 4 lb but can give another good account. Ended 2023 on a sharp upward curve; pitched into a stronger race today.

LTO Selection:

A small but competitive handicap, in which only a tentative vote can go to COTAI VISION. David Loughnane's charge was defeated by Billy Webster at Wolverhampton in November, but she is 6lb better off with that rival today, which could see her reverse the form. Out Of The Stars has been successful on two of her three career starts and looks an exciting prospect now pitched into handicaps, while neither Mart or Call Glory are able to be ruled out either.

BILLY WEBSTER made a winning handicap debut in ready fashion at Wolverhampton 6 weeks ago and, with that form proving strong, a 9 lb rise looks manageable. Cotai Vision and Mart both warrant respect.

The form of BILLY WEBSTER (nap)'s Wolverhampton success has received several boosts and he can defy the handicapper's advances.

3	3 (3) (250/1 -150%) West Coast Boy		250 250/1(-150%)																															(3) West Coast Boy 250/1, Once-raced gelding. 66/1, last of 12 in maiden at Southwell (5f) on debut 22 days ago. Up in trip. 66-1 and tailed off on debut at Southwell (5f) three weeks ago.
1	4 1st (4) (11/8 -25%) Fire Demon		1.375 11/8(-25%)																															(4) Fire Demon 11/8, Dark Angel colt who was unable to justify cramped odds but again ran well when third of 14 in a 7f novice here in September. Sound claims back from 4 months off despite a wide draw to contend with. Bred to be useful; twice placed over 7f as a 2yo; drop back to 6f seems a sensible move.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/2 +42%) Nemov		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(6) Nemov 7/2, Blue Point colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m Zonderland and useful 1¼m winner Whitlock. Plenty to like on paper and Rossa Ryan is an interesting jockey booking. Well worth a look. Useful pedigree; originally due to make debut at Ascot last September; watch the market.
3	7 3rd (7) (150/1 -50%) Spirited Lad		150 150/1(-50%)																															(7) Spirited Lad 150/1, Once-raced colt. 250/1, hinted at ability when seventh of 12 in minor event at this C&D on debut 52 days ago. Probably one for further down the line/when tackling longer trips. 250-1 and just minor promise on November's C&D debut; others appeal more.
4	9 4th (9) (11/4 +39%) Tourist		2.75 11/4(+39%)																															(9) Tourist 11/4, Lightly-raced gelding. First run since leaving G. M. Lyons when bit below form third of 9 in minor event (6/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 28 days ago, not ideally placed. Two seconds and two thirds from his five runs; solid credentials.
5th	8 5th (8) (15/2 -67%) Thunder Flow		7.5 15/2(-67%)																															(8) Thunder Flow 15/2, Once-raced colt. 13/2, never better than midfield when eighth of 15 in minor event at York (6f, heavy) on debut 85 days ago. Leading yard now reach for a first-time tongue tie and much better can be expected. No threat after slow start when eighth at York; improvement needed but possible.
6th	10 6th (10) (12/1 -20%) Runaround Sioux		12 12/1(-20%)																															(10) Runaround Sioux 12/1, Once-raced filly. 18/1, shaped as if needing experience when fifth of 10 in maiden at Newbury (6.5f, firm) on debut in June, finding the penny dropping late on. Should do better back from 7 months off. Clear signs of ability when fifth on only outing last summer; should improve.
7th	5 7th (5) (250/1 -400%) Floating Voter		250 250/1(-400%)																															(5) Floating Voter 250/1, Twice-raced gelding. 25/1, eighth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days ago, outpaced home turn and soon beaten. Can only be watched at present. Didn't show much in two races as a 2yo seven months apart; needs significant improvement.
8th	1 8th (1) (25/1 -213%) Mapogo		25 25/1(-213%)																															(1) Mapogo 25/1, Down the field both starts in bumpers. More encouragement switched to Flat, again running to a fair level when fourth of 10 in novice company at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 7 days ago. However, handicaps/over further may be more his bag. Third quick run; can't be ruled out but may be of more interest when handicapping.
9th	2 9th (2) (150/1 -355%) Tonal		150 150/1(-355%)																															(2) Tonal 150/1, Fair form when 8½ lengths seventh of 9 to Swing Vote in newcomers race at Chantilly in March but well held in maiden at Saint-Cloud 3 months later. Sold from C. Laffon-Parias €24,000 (also gelded) and he could well be another more for handicaps moving forward. Down the field twice in France; probably best watched unless strong in the market.

Having bumped into the classy Dancing Gemini at Newbury in August, it was perhaps a little disappointing that FIRE DEMON was unable to score over 7f here a few weeks later. However, given that Andrew Balding's colt hasn't been able to see out the longer trip, the drop to 6f might be ideal. Tourist is closely matched with the selection on official ratings so he is expected to be the main danger. Thunder Flow is also noted.

FIRE DEMON ran with credit without being able to justify cramped odds here in September, yet Andrew Balding's charge had previously shaped most promisingly when chasing home a subsequent listed winner at Newbury in the summer and he's well worth another chance now dropping back to 6f. Tourist looks a threat on the back of his good Wolverhampton run ahead of Thunder Flow. Newcomer Nemov needs monitoring in the betting for clues.

Those with form are headed by FIRE DEMON and Tourist, with slight preference for Andrew Balding's son of Dark Angel.

1	3 1st (3) (28/1 -100%) Autumn Angel		28 28/1(-100%)																															(3) Autumn Angel 28/1, Course winner who found her good run coming to a halt at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 5/2) 10 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Two good 6f runs last month before a lesser run ten days ago; needs to settle better at 7f.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 +29%) Turbo Command		5 5/1(+29%)																															(2) Turbo Command 5/1, Turned in his best effort off the season to record a third C&D win 22 days ago, by 1½ lengths from Intoxicata, despite being slowly away. Can go well again. Three C&D wins last year; 4lb rise for latest success fair; one to consider.

Must enter calculations. Good 2nd at Kempton when last seen; still relatively low mileage; shortlisted.

Possibilities if building on that. Encouraging stable debut when keeping on for 5th at Wolverhampton 18 days ago; interesting.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/2 +44%) Al Suil Eile		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(8) Al Suil Eile 9/2, Stepped up on reappearance run to resume winning ways in 12-runner handicap at this course (8.1f) 8 days ago, leading close home. Respected up 2 lb. Conditions to suit and he dug deep to score over 1m here last week; contender up 2lb.
6th	9 6th (9) (15/2 -25%) Intoxicata		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(9) Intoxicata 15/2, Three wins from 16 runs last year, latest at Lingfield (7f) in November. Has been placed all 5 starts since and seems sure to be on the premises once more. String of good runs since the visor went on, including C&D; in the mix once more.
7th	1 7th (1) (11/2 +54%) Kath's Toyboy		5.5 11/2(+54%)																															(1) Kath's Toyboy 11/2, C&D winner who ran respectably after 5 months off when third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 30 days ago, running on. Merits consideration. C&D winner in April; dangerous mark still and should be sharper for recent return.
8th	7 8th (7) (6/1 +63%) Dr Rio		6 6/1(+63%)																															(7) Dr Rio 6/1, Returned to form back down in trip when second of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 64 days ago, running on. First run for yard after leaving Paul Midgley. Beverley win last summer and an unlucky loser on AW when last seen in Nov; stable debut.
9th	11 9th (11) (50/1 -100%) Atlantic Heart		50 50/1(-100%)																															(11) Atlantic Heart 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022 but shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when fifth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (8f) on final outing in September, unable to sustain effort. Could see her race out better on the back of a breathing operation/break. Down in the weights and a wind op since her latest run could help; worth market check.
10th	10 10th (10) (14/1 +13%) Violeta		14 14/1(+13%)																															(10) Violeta 14/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs but wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 8/1) 53 days ago, finishing with running left after hampered on rail over 1f out. Eased 1 lb. Exposed maiden but she's run creditably in two starts in today's headgear; others stronger.
11th	4 11th (4) (4/1 -78%) Tipperary Moon		4 4/1(-78%)																															(4) Tipperary Moon 4/1, 33/1, last of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm). Off 6 months. Rejoined yard after leaving Denis Quinn. Cheekpieces back on. Back with original yard and well treated now; absence to defy; check the betting.

TOP OF THE CLASS bumped into an improver when narrowly denied at Kempton in November, but the daughter of Zoustar could go one better from just 1lb higher. That said, she's sure to face strong opposition from recent course winner Al Suil Eile and Turbo Command, who must compete from 4lb higher having been on target over track and trip last month. Others to note include Kath's Toyboy and Dr Rio.

A tentative vote goes to KATH'S TOYBOY, who ran well after a break behind an impressive winner over C&D last month. Turbo Command, Intoxicata and Top of The Class are a trio of others with solid-looking claims.

With his reappearance effort behind him KATH'S TOYBOY is taken to concede the weight all round. Turbo Command is feared most.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Alwasmiya and 1m winner Willyorwon't He. Wears tongue strap. One to monitor closely in the betting. Half-brother to three winners; tongue-tied on debut; check the betting.

Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in maiden at this C&D (50/1) 47 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Unlikely to come into his own until handicapping judged on his two starts in the autumn.
6th	3 6th (3) (80/1 -220%) Electric Avenue		80 80/1(-220%)																															(3) Electric Avenue 80/1, Once-raced maiden. 9/1, fourth of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 42 days ago, very slowly away. Open to improvement. Well-held fourth of six on her 1m Lingfield debut; a lot of improvement is needed.
7th	11 7th (11) (18/1 +45%) Ring That Bell		18 18/1(+45%)																															(11) Ring That Bell 18/1, Once-raced maiden. 150/1, tenth of 13 in minor event at this course (8f) on debut 24 days ago. Probably more one for the longer-term. 150-1 and never involved on last month's 1m debut here; needs to have come on a lot.
8th	1 8th (1) (50/1 -400%) Lewis Barnes		50 50/1(-400%)																															(1) Lewis Barnes 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 11 in maiden (66/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 33 days ago, having run of race. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Left debut behind when 4l second over 7f at Wolverhampton; may do better again.
9th	9 9th (9) (80/1 -142%) Onelastcall		80 80/1(-142%)																															(9) Onelastcall 80/1, Mayson filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1¼m), sister to smart winner up to 1½m Kidmenever. Entitled to come on for the run. Betting probably the best guide to expectations with this Mayson filly on debut.
10th	12 10th (12) (250/1 -150%) Dizziwizzbang		250 250/1(-150%)																															(12) Dizziwizzbang 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 13 in maiden at this course (8f) 24 days ago. Hard to warm to. Failed to beat a rival in two starts here last month.
11th	2 11th (2) (250/1 -400%) Eadha		250 250/1(-400%)																															(2) Eadha 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, last of 3 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 16 days ago. Big step forward needed. Didn't achieve much when well-held last of three latest; others are preferred.

LTO Selection:

A C&D winner on his debut, Lessay is expected to prove popular under the penalty, but a chance can be taken on ROGUE RAIDER. Tom Clover has a solid record with three-year-olds on the all-weather in recent times and his newcomer, a well-related son of More Than Ready, might not have to be anything too far out of the ordinary. Persian Bliss will need monitoring in the betting ahead of his first start, and Lewis Barnes should not be underestimated either.

LESSAY got on top close home when making a winning debut over C&D last month and, with improvement on the cards, he looks the way to go. Newcomers Rogue Raider and Persian Bliss are both appealing on paper, while Newsreader showed promise on debut and is also worth considering.

There was plenty to like about the way LESSAY went about things when scoring on his C&D debut last month and he's taken to follow up.

1	3 1st (3) (8/1 +50%) Dynamic Talent		8 8/1(+50%)																															(3) Dynamic Talent 8/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 32 days ago, very slowly away. Tumbling down the weights but keeps getting it wrong at the start; remains too risky.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 -29%) Once Adaay		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(4) Once Adaay 9/2, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (11/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 30 days ago. Not taken lightly despite a 3 lb rise. Cosy win at Chelmsford last time but more will be needed up 3lb; return to Tapeta fine.
3	5 3rd (5) (17/2 +29%) Berkshire Phantom		8.5 17/2(+29%)																															(5) Berkshire Phantom 17/2, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 12/1) 28 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Handicap mark in freefall but hard to gauge how much of his ability remains; new headgear.
4	1 4th (1) (6/1 +40%) Reputation		6 6/1(+40%)																															(1) Reputation 6/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in December. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Needs considering. Didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap two weeks ago; considered back down in class.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/1 -38%) Diamondsinthesand		9 9/1(-38%)																															(8) Diamondsinthesand 9/1, Readily got off the mark at Wolverhampton in November but not seen to best effect since, bumped start next time then saddle slipped when ninth of 10 in handicap back at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago. Well worth another chance off a lenient-looking mark. Not seen to best effect in either start since a Wolverhampton win in November; e-w claims.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/4 +63%) Kitaab		2.25 9/4(+63%)																															(2) Kitaab 9/4, Eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) 44 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Ten-race maiden but there have been flickers of promise and the return to 7f may help.
7th	9 7th (9) (12/1 -33%) Absolute Dream		12 12/1(-33%)																															(9) Absolute Dream 12/1, Latest win at Hamilton in September. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 22 days ago. Can give a good account. Challenged away from the main action when 4th over C&D latest; in the mix with a repeat.
8th	6 8th (6) (10/1 -82%) Angel Amadea		10 10/1(-82%)																															(6) Angel Amadea 10/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap (9/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 33 days ago, going clear. Ought to be in the shake-up. Powerful finish to win easily at Wolverhampton last month; not dismissed up 7lb.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 -32%) Floral Splendour		33 33/1(-32%)																															(7) Floral Splendour 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 25/1) 48 days ago. On losing run and hasn't looked in the form required to capitalise on her reduced mark.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 -25%) Star Of St James		50 50/1(-25%)																															(10) Star Of St James 50/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 22 days ago, finding little. Hood on 1st time. Yet to shine in two runs for new yard; hood added today but others appeal more.

LTO Selection:

---

ANGEL AMADEA was able to exploit a drop in the handicap when recording a comfortable success at Wolverhampton last month, and a subsequent 7lb rise might not be enough to prevent her from repeating the dose. Once Adaay looks an obvious danger having been on target at Chelmsford last time, while Absolute Dream is another that must enter the reckoning.

DIAMONDSINTHESAND hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since getting off the mark at Wolverhampton and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now. Recent-scorers Angel Amadea and Once Adaay rate the obvious threats, with Absolute Dream another to consider in an open handicap.

Diamondsinthesand can fare better today but KITAAB is low-mileage for his age and could yet rate higher.

1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +11%) Talis Evolvere		4 4/1(+11%)																															(4) Talis Evolvere 4/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 15/8, creditable 2¼ lengths second of 11 to Top Secret in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago. Merits consideration. Progressive; won at Wolverhampton before 2nd to Top Secret over C&D; should go well again.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 +38%) Aratus		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(1) Aratus 5/2, Course winner. Last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 6/4) 31 days ago, slowly away. Good effort on penultimate outing and might get back on track. Settled better than is sometimes the case when second here (7f) in November but held since.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/1 -29%) United Front		9 9/1(-29%)																															(8) United Front 9/1, 7/2, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago, not much room. Slipping to a handy mark and was much better than the result last time. Considered. On a dangerous mark but he's not obviously shaping as if likely to take advantage.
4	7 4th (7) (22/1 -57%) Plantadream		22 22/1(-57%)																															(7) Plantadream 22/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving John Best when 4 lengths sixth of 11 to Top Secret in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 17 days ago, nearest finish. Not discounted. Shaped as retaining ability on recent return from a very long absence; not ruled out.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 -11%) Court Of Session		5 5/1(-11%)																															(3) Court Of Session 5/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (2/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 26 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Reacted well to cheekpieces lately, second at Southwell before winning at Chelmsford (1m).
6th	6 6th (6) (125/1 -400%) Good Too		125 125/1(-400%)																															(6) Good Too 125/1, First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when 6¼ lengths last of 11 to Top Secret in handicap (50/1) at this C&D 17 days ago. Last of 11 to Top Secret over C&D on recent stable debut; can only be watched.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/4 +0%) Top Secret		2.25 9/4(+0%)																															(2) Top Secret 9/4, 9/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 17 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Talis Evolvere. Worth a chance to follow up. Enhanced good AW record when seeing off Talis Evolvere over C&D last month; big player.
8th	5 8th (5) (25/1 -178%) Crystal Casque		25 25/1(-178%)																															(5) Crystal Casque 25/1, 3-time C&D winner. Five wins from 13 runs last year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 25/1) 14 days ago. Not dismissed. Recent Lingfield win came in weaker race but she's only 1lb higher and goes well here.

LTO Selection:

---

TOP SECRET ran out a comfortable winner on his latest C&D outing just before Christmas and the seven-year-old, who remains lightly raced on the all-weather, could have more to offer, despite a 6lb rise. Talis Evolvere chased home the selection on that occasion and the consistent performer is likely to be in the mix once again. Court Of Session and Aratus are others to consider.

TOP SECRET was well on toip when beating Talis Evolvere over C&D last time and is worth a chance to follow up at the possible expense of the same rival, who is respected. United Front has become well treated and is worthy of consideration after having no luck last time.

It was quite impressive the way TOP SECRET quickened up over C&D last month and he can extend his winning course sequence to four.

Ought to be in the shake-up despite taking a 5 lb rise. On a hat-trick after wins at Wolverhampton and Lingfield last month; should go well again.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 +35%) Just Janet		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(1) Just Janet 13/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Hindered cause with slow start when seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 14/1) 15 days ago. Not written off by any means. C&D win last month but 6lb rise found her out next time; might be vulnerable again.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 -14%) Abbey's Dream		4 4/1(-14%)																															(3) Abbey's Dream 4/1, Three wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. 5/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 6 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Enters calculations. Remained in form since 7f Wolverhampton win but mark looks about right; blinkers added.
4	4 4th (4) (28/1 -75%) Liberty Mountain		28 28/1(-75%)																															(4) Liberty Mountain 28/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. 40/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 24 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won at Wolverhampton (7f) in October but two lesser runs since need forgiving.
5th	8 5th (8) (6/1 -80%) Sixties Chic		6 6/1(-80%)																															(8) Sixties Chic 6/1, Latest win at Lingfield in December. Not seen to best effect since, racing wide when third of 7 to Storymaker in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 14 days ago. Weighted to go close eased 1 lb. Two 6f AW wins this winter; fair third to reopposing Storymaker over 7f latest; player.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 +43%) Finery		4 4/1(+43%)																															(2) Finery 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in August. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 5 days ago so needs to bounce back. Third over 1m here last month but below par twice since; others are more obvious.
7th	6 7th (6) (9/2 -13%) Platinum Jubilee		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(6) Platinum Jubilee 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, excellent second of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 31 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Up 2 lb but she can go well again with very few miles on the clock. Promising second on 1m Kempton handicap debut; tongue-tie added; unexposed from good yard.
8th	7 8th (7) (10/1 +17%) Smiling Sunflower		10 10/1(+17%)																															(7) Smiling Sunflower 10/1, 16/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f). Off 95 days. Now below last winning mark so no forlorn hope. Won after a break last January and back on a good mark; worth noting in the betting.

LTO Selection:

---

PLATINUM JUBILEE put in a career best when a close second on her handicap debut over a mile at Kempton last month. The drop in trip and application of a first-time tongue-tie could help the daughter of Oasis Dream to get off the mark here. That said, the hat-trick seeking Storymaker is an obvious threat and Sixties Chic also merits consideration.

A case can be made for most of these but SIXTIES CHIC has slipped to an attractive mark and can bounce back to winning ways having not enjoyed the best of runs when third to Storymaker at Lingfield last time out. George Boughey's hat-trick seeker rates the main threat, although the less exposed Platinum Jubilee and C&D scorer Just Janet can also have a say in a competitive handicap.

Although SIXTIES CHIC was just over 2l behind Storymaker at Lingfield recently, she was caught wide and can turn the tables.

Conditions fine and back to his last winning mark; needs to step up on recent stable debut.
6th	9 6th (9) (12/1 -71%) Masterclass		12 12/1(-71%)																															(9) Masterclass 12/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 11/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Can get involved if the race is run to suit. 5f too sharp last time but he still ran well enough; each-way claims back at this trip.
7th	7 7th (7) (13/2 -30%) Tyger Bay		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(7) Tyger Bay 13/2, 4-time C&D winner. 4/1, won 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 33 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Heading back in the right direction recently. Came from off a strong pace to win cosily at Wolverhampton last month; still on fair mark.

LTO Selection:

---

BRAZEN IDOL has run with credit in a couple of recent efforts at Wolverhampton and the return to this venue, where he scored on his only prior visit in September 2022, may help him back to winning ways. Tyger Bay went up 4lb for his latest success at Wolverhampton, with the selection perhaps needing the run when fading into fourth, and has to enter calculations. Bosh, Aljari and Expert Agent complete the shortlist.

TYGER BAY confirmed previous promise when arriving late to score at Wolverhampton 33 days ago and he has an excellent record at this track, so he gets the nod over Bosh and Masterclass, who both arrive on the back of solid efforts.

Several are possibles but BRAZEN IDOL still looks on a handy mark and he's preferred to Rocking Ends and Masterclass.

Back to a potentially lenient mark. Promising stable debut ten days ago; good mark but best at Wolverhampton.

LTO Selection:

---

COME ON GIRL bounced back to form when a head second over 6f at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago and she could be hard to beat if reproducing that level of form here. Urban Dandy made the frame in a similar event to this at Newcastle last time and should not be underestimated, while Ustath and El Hibri complete the shortlist.

THE NAIL GUNNER offered something to work with on his first outing since leaving Denis Quinn after 6 months off when seventh at Wolverhampton 10 days ago so could be the answer with a potentially lenient mark to work with. Ustath should come on for his recent run and has dipped below his last winning mark, so is next best ahead of Come On Girl, who was only just edged out at Lingfield 2 weeks ago.

Not a lot went right for the veteran ASTROPHYSICS at Wolverhampton last time and he's given another chance to exploit a handy mark.

1	8 1st (8) (9/1 -50%) Red Flyer		9 9/1(-50%)																															(8) Red Flyer 9/1, Course winner. Again ran well when second of 12 in handicap (6/1) at this course (12f) when last seen in October, clear of rest. Enters calculations as he goes back up in distance. Enhanced fine Kempton record when second over 1m4f in October; stays 2m; shortlisted.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/1 -47%) Citizen General		11 11/1(-47%)																															(1) Citizen General 11/1, Five wins from 19 Flat runs, latest success at Pontefract in August. With headgear reapplied, back to form when fourth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 31 days ago. Could still have more to offer at this trip. Back to form when fourth of 14 over C&D last month; unlikely to be far away.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 +14%) The Thunderer		12 12/1(+14%)																															(6) The Thunderer 12/1, Course winner. After 12 weeks off, fifth of 7 in steadily-run handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 28 days ago. Needs to find more upped to 2m for the first time. Unplaced all four starts since joining Stuart Williams and unproven beyond 1m4f.
4	2 4th (2) (2/1 +73%) Bascule		2 2/1(+73%)																															(2) Bascule 2/1, After 7 months off, needer stiffer test when fourth of 7 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 28 days ago. Could take a step forward from his recent run returned to this longer trip. Major player back down in grade. Shaped well after break with Wolverhampton fourth over inadequate 1m4f; high on the list.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/2 +30%) Sarsons Risk		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(5) Sarsons Risk 7/2, Improved from his recent outing when winning 9-runner handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 9/1) 22 days ago, well on top finish. Not taken lightly now that he's back up and running. Won at Southwell three weeks ago; 4lb rise does not look insurmountable.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 -200%) True Courage		33 33/1(-200%)																															(7) True Courage 33/1, Course winner. Got his head back in front again at Chelmsford City (13.3f) in November, but failed to repeat that effort when last of 8 in handicap (15/2) at the same course (14f) 23 days ago. Bounce back called for. Followed Chelmsford win in November with poor run on same course; stamina to prove over 2m.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/1 -33%) First Emperor		16 16/1(-33%)																															(3) First Emperor 16/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 16 runs in 2023 but ended the season below form, eighth of 14 in handicap at York (16.2f, good to firm, 40/1) when last seen in August. Has had a wind op ahead of his return. Ended 2023 out of form; now returns after gelding/breathing ops; others have less to prove.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/1 -80%) Moliwood		9 9/1(-80%)																															(4) Moliwood 9/1, C&D winner. After 13 months off, proved he retains his ability when 1¾ lengths second of 8 to True Courage in handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 58 days ago. One to consider with return to this longer trip to suit. Pleasing return from over a year off when second at Chelmsford; commands major respect.
9th	12 9th (12) (6/1 +14%) Planet Legend		6 6/1(+14%)																															(12) Planet Legend 6/1, Dual winner over hurdles since last seen on the Flat back in October 2022. Failed to come on for recent outing when seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good, 16/1) 42 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. First Flat run since October 2022; below par over hurdles lately but can't be ruled out.
10th	11 10th (11) (150/1 -971%) Indigo Times		150 150/1(-971%)																															(11) Indigo Times 150/1, C&D winner. Seven wins from 23 Flat runs. Had only the 3 starts back in 2022, returning to form when second of 4 in handicap at Newmarket (14f, good to firm. 9/1) in July that year. However, he's been off for 17 months since. Current mark is 2lb below last winning one but he has a 539-day absence to overcome.
11th	9 11th (9) (50/1 -257%) Blow Your Horn		50 50/1(-257%)																															(9) Blow Your Horn 50/1, Completed a hat-trick over staying trips last summer but found things tougher on his next 3 starts. Little impact tried over hurdles to end 2023, seventh of 13 at Southwell (15.8f, soft, 25/1) 20 days ago. Completed hat-trick last June but wellbeing in doubt after two poor runs over hurdles.
12th	10 12th (10) (16/1 -100%) Glenister		16 16/1(-100%)																															(10) Glenister 16/1, First run since leaving Sir Mark Prescott Bt when creditable third of 13 in handicap at this course (12f, 22/1) 17 days ago. Can give his running again having his first try at this distance. Not far off best when third over 1m4f here on stable debut; shapes as if he'll stay 2m.

LTO Selection:

---

RED FLYER was just under four lengths clear of the third when runner-up over 1m4f here in October and has been put up 3lb for that effort. The son of Free Eagle shouldn't have any issues with the return to this sort of trip and could go one better. The main danger might be Citizen General, who wasn't beaten far into fourth over C&D last month and should go well off the same mark. Southwell winner Sarsons Risk is another to keep an eye on.

After 7 months off, BASCULE needed the emphasis more on stamina when fourth at Wolverhampton in December, so he could be ready to return to winning ways with this step back up in trip to suit. Heading the list of dangers is Sarsons Risk, who stepped up on his recent form when scoring at Southwell last time, with Red Flyer completing the shortlist.

An encouraging first run back after an absence makes the claims of MOLIWOOD (nap) persuasive, with Bascule a strong second choice.

1	11 1st (11) (12/1 +25%) Corsican Caper		12 12/1(+25%)																															(11) Corsican Caper 12/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 14/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 27 days ago, not much room. Ran well in quite valuable series final in September but form has slumped since.
2	9 2nd (9) (16/5 +20%) Uther Pendragon		3.2 16/5(+20%)																															(9) Uther Pendragon 16/5, Modest gelding. Course winner. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 13/2) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. Back up in trip. Looks competitive on form. Went close in 1m3f handicap here last month and features prominently in calculations.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/4 +67%) Ney		1.5 6/4(+67%)																															(4) Ney 6/4, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 18/1, below form fifth of 9 in minor event hurdle at Naas (16.3f, soft). First run for yard after leaving Mrs Prunella Dobbs and worth monitoring in the market in this grade given pick of his hurdling form. Makes stable debut after layoff but has won over hurdles and is unexposed on the Flat.
4	8 4th (8) (7/1 -56%) Silver Bubble		7 7/1(-56%)																															(8) Silver Bubble 7/1, Modest mare. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 7/1) 51 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Has to be taken seriously. Ended last year with two good runs in 1m2f Chelmsford handicaps; 1m4f also suits; player.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/2 +10%) Reset Button		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(7) Reset Button 9/2, Modest gelding. Respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 12/1). Off 7 months. Back down in trip. May be better suited by 1m6f/2m now and was out of form when last seen last spring.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 -214%) Hot Team		22 22/1(-214%)																															(2) Hot Team 22/1, Modest gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Good seventh of 12 in handicap (80/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Ended last year with string of underwhelming runs and this trip may stretch him.
7th	10 7th (10) (18/1 -29%) Cape Point		18 18/1(-29%)																															(10) Cape Point 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at this course (14.1f) 30 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Enters calculations on best form. Ran okay over 1m6f here on handicap debut but well beaten over that trip since.
8th	5 8th (5) (100/1 -52%) Princess Nieve		100 100/1(-52%)																															(5) Princess Nieve 100/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 200/1) 19 days ago. Has struggled to get competitive since joining current stable last spring.
9th	6 9th (6) (100/1 -52%) Real Quiz		100 100/1(-52%)																															(6) Real Quiz 100/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 50/1) 19 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Well down the field off basement mark on both starts for stable; back up in trip today.
10th	1 10th (1) (22/1 -175%) Craic At Dawn		22 22/1(-175%)																															(1) Craic At Dawn 22/1, Modest gelding. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 19 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Returned from one-year absence with two down-the-field runs last month; now 0-12.

LTO Selection:

---

In a moderate event the vote goes to UTHER PENDRAGON, whose last couple of efforts in handicap company suggest that the veteran could go very well at this level. Similar comments apply to Silver Bubble and the six-year-old may prove to be the main threat to the selection. The rest all have plenty to prove right now but Foinix is the pick of them.

Stable-switcher NEY could be worth chancing in this grade given the pick of his hurdling form. Silver Bubble and Uther Pendragon are feared most.

Stan Moore's veteran UTHER PENDRAGON, a close second in a 1m3f handicap here two starts ago, has good claims at this level.

1	1 1st (1) (17/2 +15%) The Bay Warrior		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(1) The Bay Warrior 17/2, With headgear reapplied, returned to form when fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 8/1) 16 days ago. Capable of getting involved having dropped to a handy mark. Ran well for long way at Chelmsford (1m6f) last time and he looks interesting back in trip.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/4 +36%) Trusty Scout		2.25 9/4(+36%)																															(8) Trusty Scout 9/4, Successful here in November and backed up that effort when third of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 32 days ago, short of room final 1f. Can resume winning ways in his current mood. Win and good third over 1m4f in last two runs and he should go well again.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 -29%) Stintino Sunset		9 9/1(-29%)																															(6) Stintino Sunset 9/1, Doubled her tally when successful at Chelmsford City in November. Not seen to best effect when fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 5/1) 24 days ago, left poorly placed. Needs everything to drop right. Two 1m2f wins; had excuse at 1m4f latest and this trip should be within range; dangerous.
4	11 4th (11) (17/2 -42%) Optik		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(11) Optik 17/2, After 5 months off, had hopeless task from position when sixth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 10 days ago. More needed back up in trip as he looks to gain a first victory. Has claims on his best form last year and he looks interesting back up in trip.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/2 -22%) Distinction		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(7) Distinction 11/2, Ended long losing run when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December. Ran creditably under a penalty when fourth of 10 in handicap at the same C&D (18/5) 11 days ago, so he can give another good account on his polytrack debut. In good form on Tapeta last month and he looks worth a try at this new trip; in the mix.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/3 +33%) Fiddlers Green		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(5) Fiddlers Green 10/3, Shaped quite well under circumstances when fourth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 56 days ago, racing freely in steadily-run race. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he could yet do better upped further in trip. Promising fourth at Chelmsford (1m2f) latest and he could get involved at this new trip.
7th	10 7th (10) (12/1 -71%) Qeyaady		12 12/1(-71%)																															(10) Qeyaady 12/1, Seventeen runs since his sole success in 2021. However, back on track when third of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 2 weeks ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort. Placed at Lingfield last time but sole win was in 2021 and others are more convincing.
8th	3 8th (3) (18/1 -200%) Latest Edition		18 18/1(-200%)																															(3) Latest Edition 18/1, Having been eased further in the weights, ran up to her best when fourth of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 16 days ago. Makes polytrack debut with cheekpieces on 1st time. Can make her presence felt. 0-7 but fair fourth at Southwell (1m3f) latest and has claims if she can build on that.
9th	2 9th (2) (100/1 -300%) Fantizzy		100 100/1(-300%)																															(2) Fantizzy 100/1, Making all-weather debut on her first run since leaving Steph Hollinshead, fared no better when twelfth of 14 in handicap (80/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for. Ten-race maiden who has struggled in last four runs and has a lot to prove; headgear on.
10th	4 10th (4) (25/1 -25%) Lemon Ice		25 25/1(-25%)																															(4) Lemon Ice 25/1, Fair maiden in Ireland when last seen on the Flat in 2022. After 10 months off and in first-time blinkers, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, heavy, 11/1) 25 days ago. Others preferred on her polytrack debut. Has struggled over hurdles for current yard and comes with risks attached back on the Flat.

LTO Selection:

---

LATEST EDITION took a fierce hold but still managed to finish fourth over this trip at Southwell, and she has been left on the same mark. The daughter of Ribchester goes in first-time cheekpieces, which could spark the improvement needed for her to break through. Trusty Scout didn't get the best of luck when third at Wolverhampton and could get closer with a clearer passage off the same rating. Distinction is another to note.

TRUSTY SCOUT has left behind a poor effort over hurdles returned to the Flat on his last 2 starts, winning at this course in November before meeting trouble when third at Wolverhampton last time. He can continue his good run of form to score again, with Latest Edition feared most having dropped to a workable mark. Fiddlers Green is also considered.

An open race in which the vote goes to OPTIK, who looks interesting back up in trip on his second run after an absence.

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.
