7	7 (7) (8/1 -33%) Mystical Power		8 8/1(-33%)																															(7) Mystical Power 8/1, Galileo gelding out of this yard's illustrious mare Annie Power. Successful only start in bumpers in the spring and created a much more striking impression as he maintained unbeaten record on hurdles bow at Galway (16.6f) in July. Up to making his mark at this level. Superb pedigree, has won a bumper and a novice hurdle while still betraying inexperience.
3	3 (3) (9/1 -64%) Croke Park		9 9/1(-64%)																															(3) Croke Park 9/1, Runner-up only start in bumpers and he arrives here having made it 2-2 over hurdles when landing 6-runner Grade 3 Monksfield Novices' Hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 4/6) 49 days ago by 3¼ lengths from Mel Monroe. Jumped soundly then and possibilities upped further in class. Was suited by the step up to 2m4f when landing Grade 3 Navan event, Firefox appeals more.
4	4 (4) (9/4 -29%) Firefox		2.25 9/4(-29%)																															(4) Firefox 9/4, Useful, 3-time winner in bumpers who impressed on all fronts when making a successful switch to hurdling at Fairyhouse (2m) last month, jumping/travelling well and always having matters in hand. Well worth his place at this higher level and worth considering. Three-time bumper winner including defeat of Ile Atlantique, impressed on hurdling debut.
1	1 (1) (9/1 -13%) An Tobar		9 9/1(-13%)																															(1) An Tobar 9/1, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. 5/2, 2¾ lengths third of 8 to Farren Glory in Royal Bond Novices' Hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 35 days ago. Up in trip. Should progress. Failed to quicken when third in the Royal Bond, form is solid, extra half-mile should suit.
5	5 (5) (9/4 +0%) Ile Atlantique		2.25 9/4(+0%)																															(5) Ile Atlantique 9/4, Promising type. Career best when winning 15-runner novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 4/9) on hurdles bow 57 days ago, soon clear. Up in trip and worth considering with good deal more expected. Second to Firefox in a bumper, looked a top prospect on hurdling debut, stable selected.
2	2 (2) (12/1 -118%) Chapeau De Soleil		12 12/1(-118%)																															(2) Chapeau De Soleil 12/1, Promise in 2 starts in bumpers and had little fuss landing 17-runner novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy, 4/6) on hurdles bow 31 days ago, cruising clear. Open to significant progress. Made all under today's rider to beat modest opposition readily at Clonmel, unexposed.
6	6 (6) (22/1 -120%) Lecky Watson		22 22/1(-120%)																															(6) Lecky Watson 22/1, Useful bumper performer who tasted success on hurdles bow at Thurles (23f) in November and built considerably on that when second in Navan Grade 2 (20f, heavy) 4 weeks ago, keeping on despite taking a strong hold. Type to do better, particularly when faced with big-field handicap scenario. Jumping was untidy when second to a stablemate of An Tobar in 2m4f Grade 2 event at Navan.
8	8 (8) (25/1 -56%) Readin Tommy Wrong		25 25/1(-56%)																															(8) Readin Tommy Wrong 25/1, Authorized gelding who was 2-2 in bumpers and though made to work harder, maintained his 100% record when successful in a Cork maiden on hurdles debut in November. Step up to 2½m ought to suit on pedigree and very good prospect for all this rates a whole lot tougher. Winner of two bumpers and a maiden hurdle but stable appears to have stronger candidates.

LTO Selection:

FIREFOX was impressive when taking his maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last month and that form has received a nice boost since. He quickened away in some style to beat Ballyburn then and that rival was a very easy winner at Leopardstown over Christmas. Going two-and-a-half miles now should be no worry for Firefix, who was a big eye-catcher on his debut run over this trip at Navan in November 2022. The selection faces a fascinating rematch with Ile Atlantique, who he beat in a Fairyhouse bumper last April. Willie Mullins' charge travelled best early in the straight then before being worn down by his rival in the closing stages. The Coastal Path gelding had also done the same thing in his previous bumper and it will be interesting to see what he finds for pressure now in better company over hurdles. Mullins saddles five of the eight runners. Mystical Power, the regally-bred son of Galileo and Annie Power, faces an acid test having won twice last summer and it will be interesting to see how he measures up.

A Grade 1 novice unsurprisingly packed full of potential. FIREFOX, a useful 3-time winner in bumpers, marked himself down as one more than capable of making his mark at this level when successful on hurdles bow at Fairyhouse 5 weeks ago and shades the vote. The regally bred Mystical Power was a taking winner at Galway last summer and promises to do even better, with his stablemate Ile Atlantique another worth considering in a race very much to note.

Gordon Ellott's FIREFOX can take this for by upholding bumper form with Ile Atlantique, best of the Willie Mullins-trained squad

7	7 (7) (2/1 +58%) Ramo		2 2/1(+58%)																															(7) Ramo 2/1, Progressive since upped to staying trips and having resumed winning ways on return at Ludlow in November, he quickly dispelled a lesser effort when runner-up at Carlisle (25f) 3 weeks ago. Remains of interest from this sort of mark. Three wins in 2023 (one over C&D); not yet fully exposed but needs a career best.
3	3 (3) (7/2 -40%) Eldorado Allen		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(3) Eldorado Allen 7/2, Very smart chaser who arrives having run a cracker when fourth in last month's Coral Gold Cup at Newbury, staying on gradually from 4 out. Much lower hurdles mark to explore here and his rider takes off a handy 5 lb. Well worth a second look. Placed in two hot handicap chases this season; back hurdling off lower mark; interesting.
5	5 (5) (7/2 +22%) Hititi		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(5) Hititi 7/2, Ended last season on a high, completing a hat-trick at up to 3m and better for reappearance effort when edged out late on at Sandown (23.5f) 4 weeks ago (On The Blind Side placed third). That may not prove his limit at staying trips and he's respected. Progressive 7yo; comes here after running very well in defeat at Sandown last month.
8	8 (8) (9/2 -13%) Transmission		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(8) Transmission 9/2, Low-mileage 7-y-o who cemented positive start for new stable when good third on handicap debut at Ascot (23.5f) 2 weeks ago, coming from much further back than pair that beat him. That rates strong form for the grade and he's worth a look at the foot of the weights. Placed on both starts for current stable; might fare better now back on soft ground.
4	4 (4) (14/1 -75%) On The Blind Side		14 14/1(-75%)																															(4) On The Blind Side 14/1, One-time smart hurdler who cashed in from a career-low mark at Newbury (3m) in March. Ended his campaign with a poor run at Cheltenham in April but showed he retains plenty of ability when third in 8-runner handicap at Sandown 4 weeks ago. Ran well on last month's seasonal debut but younger rivals appeal more all the same.
1	1 (1) (16/1 -100%) Call Me Lord		16 16/1(-100%)																															(1) Call Me Lord 16/1, Made a winning return last term and repeated the feat this time around, albeit looking flattered as the pace collapsed when beating 4-rivals at Hereford (19.7f) 3 weeks ago, leading after the last and driven out. Rider takes off handy 5 lb but this likely to prove tougher. Kept on stoutly from unpromising position to win over 2m3f last time; back up in trip here.
2	2 (2) (20/1 -122%) Annual Invictus		20 20/1(-122%)																															(2) Annual Invictus 20/1, Course winner who tasted success twice over hurdles last season, latterly at Newbury (24.2f) in February, taking full advantage of an easy time on the front end. Finished midfield in competitive handicap chase contests after and record fresh a plus ahead of this return to timber. Not seen since respectable sixth in major handicap chase last April; on fairly tough mark.
6	6 (6) (28/1 -27%) Mario De Pail		28 28/1(-27%)																															(6) Mario De Pail 28/1, Fairly useful but error-prone maiden handicap chaser who was weak in the betting and ran poorly when pulled up back over hurdles at Chepstow (23.6f) over Christmas. Tongue tie added to cheekpieces now. Ran okay in two autumn chases but pulled up over hurdles 11 days ago; others look safer.

LTO Selection:

---

In what is likely to be a thorough test of stamina, HITITI is preferred following a strong runner-up effort on heavy ground at Sandown last month. A progressive handicapper last season, Mark Walford's charge can bounce back to winning ways at the main expense of recent Hereford winner Call Me Lord and Eldorado Allen, who has been running with credit over fences of late and is attractively-handicapped over the smaller obstacles. On The Blind Side and Ramo cannot be ruled out either.

Established as a smart chaser, ELDORADO ALLEN ran another sound race when fourth in last month's Coral Gold Cup and, operating from his much lower mark in this sphere, with his rider taking off a handy 5 lb, he could be worth siding with to get back on the winning trail. Transmission and Ramo are a pair of low-mileage stayers going the right way and are feared, as is Hititi, who is another well in the mix.

This can go to improving 7yo HITITI (nap), who was nicely clear of On The Blind Side when second to a progressive rival last month.

13	13 (13) (4/11 +28%) Tullyhill		0.363636 4/11(+28%)																															(13) Tullyhill 4/11, Highly promising sort. Smart winner at 18f in bumpers. 1/8, second of 5 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (22f, soft) on hurdles bow 42 days ago. Open to significant improvement and should make amends. One of last season's top bumper horses, fancied to make amends for Punchestown lapse.
14	14 (14) (7/2 +13%) Undeniable Alibi		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(14) Undeniable Alibi 7/2, Easy winner of only start in points. Only fifth of 10 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, evens) on NH debut 35 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Worthy of interest. Point winner, not sen to best effect in a Fairyhouse bumper, remains a bright prospect.
22	22 (22) (14/1 -87%) Stoneyford Lady		14 14/1(-87%)																															(22) Stoneyford Lady 14/1, Valirann mare. Half-sister to useful hurdler/top-class chaser Captain Guinness and useful hurdler Brookie. Very much one to note on paper. Of automatic interest as a half-sister to the trainer's talented chaser Captain Guinness.
15	15 (15) (14/1 -56%) Union Station		14 14/1(-56%)																															(15) Union Station 14/1, Leading Light gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart hurdler/chaser Ok Corral and untrustworthy but fairly useful hurdler/chaser Breaking Waves. One to note on pedigree. Half-brother to winners including the very useful OK Corral, dam is a sister to Tidal Bay.
4	4 (4) (16/1 -14%) Howdoyalikeherhome		16 16/1(-14%)																															(4) Howdoyalikeherhome 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 80/1, second of 10 in novice hurdle at this course (19f, soft) 24 days ago. Showed massive improvement when second at Naas last month but this is a stronger race.
9	9 (9) (16/1 +20%) Master Otis		16 16/1(+20%)																															(9) Master Otis 16/1, Fair hurdler. Tenth of 28 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 66/1) on hurdles bow 12 days ago. Became disappointing in bumpers, should improve from his recent hurdling debut.
8	8 (8) (16/1 +36%) Lightkeeper		16 16/1(+36%)																															(8) Lightkeeper 16/1, €68,000 3-y-o, £25,000 5-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam (c133/h120), 17f-2½m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 4m), closely related to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Victoria Bay. Runner-up on last of 3 starts in points (Apr 21). Demoted after a minor point win, second-string for trainer of Undeniable Alibi.
12	12 (12) (50/1 +24%) The Striker Dylan		50 50/1(+24%)																															(12) The Striker Dylan 50/1, €85,000 3-y-o, Affinisea gelding. Brother to bumper winner Just For Love. Dam unraced sister to ungenuine but very smart hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Outlander. Brother to Just For Love a debut bumper winner for Willie Mullins, excellent pedigree.
10	10 (10) (66/1 -65%) Spellacy's Cross		66 66/1(-65%)																															(10) Spellacy's Cross 66/1, €75,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Brother to useful multiple bumper winner Rapid Escape, and closely related to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Nicolas Chauvin. Last of 5 finishers completed start in points (Apr 2023). Brother to smart three-time bumper winner Rapid Escape, two ordinary runs in points.
21	21 (21) (66/1 -65%) Stagecoach Mary		66 66/1(-65%)																															(21) Stagecoach Mary 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Ian Patrick Donoghue when fifth of 16 in bumper at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft, 9/1) 21 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Second on the first of three bumper runs, has ability but this is a tough introduction.
19	19 (19) (66/1 -32%) Mythical Vision		66 66/1(-32%)																															(19) Mythical Vision 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 25 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) on NH debut 29 days ago. Yard having good spell. Open to improvement. Remote eighth in a 25-runner Navan maiden won by the smart Caldwell Potter, can improve.
17	17 (17) (100/1 +0%) Eire Comes Tribsy		100 100/1(+0%)																															(17) Eire Comes Tribsy 100/1, Promising individual. Tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good, 10/3) on NH debut. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Mrs Lorna Fowler. Open to progress. Ran poorly at Tipperary last May when well fancied on only start for his previous trainer.
5	5 (5) (200/1 -33%) Irish Impulse		200 200/1(-33%)																															(5) Irish Impulse 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, ninth of 24 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.8f, heavy) 28 days ago. Not disgraced in ninth in a 24-runner maiden at Cork last month, will need more experience.
7	7 (7) (250/1 -25%) Lake Manzaleh		250 250/1(-25%)																															(7) Lake Manzaleh 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Sixth of 9 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Tramore (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 87 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Joseph Hanlon. Poor form in bumpers and a maiden hurdle for Shark Hanlon, tongue-tie now on stable debut.
11	11 (11) (250/1 -25%) Tell Us This		250 250/1(-25%)																															(11) Tell Us This 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 26 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 200/1) 29 days ago. Room for improvement in his jumping, will be of more interest in handicaps in due course.
1	1 (1) (250/1 -25%) Boston Bongo		250 250/1(-25%)																															(1) Boston Bongo 250/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.1f, heavy, 28/1). Modest form in four outings on the Flat, has a good German Flat pedigree, best watched.
2	2 (2) (250/1 -25%) Ebony Jade		250 250/1(-25%)																															(2) Ebony Jade 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Twenty second of 25 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Fourth in a six-runner bumper, tailed off in two maiden hurdle outings, safe to rule out.
3	3 (3) (250/1 -25%) Fernhill Fling		250 250/1(-25%)																															(3) Fernhill Fling 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Twelfth of 18 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 12 days ago. Mid-division in a Thurles bumper, no threat in two maiden hurdle outings, will need a mark.
6	6 (6) (250/1 -25%) John The Diva		250 250/1(-25%)																															(6) John The Diva 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, twelfth of 15 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) on NH debut 10 days ago. Placed in a point in 2021, tailed off on hurdling debut at Limerick ten days ago.

20	20 (20) (250/1 -25%) Realtin Lonrach		250 250/1(-25%)																															(20) Realtin Lonrach 250/1, Ocovango mare. Half-sister to modest hurdler Occidental Lady. Dam, lightly raced over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Gortinard. Half-sister to a 2m hurdle winner, dam well beaten in maiden hurdles, small Wexford yard.
23	23 (23) (250/1 -25%) You Make Me Smile		250 250/1(-25%)																															(23) You Make Me Smile 250/1, Tenth of 14 in novice hurdle (300/1) at Tramore (16.8f, heavy) 6 days ago. Limited on the Flat and in bumpers, has struggled in two outings over hurdles.

Fourteenth of 23 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Unlikely to be good enough judged on outings at Cork and Leopardstown in recent months.

LTO Selection:

TULLYHILL can atone for his short price defeat on his hurdling debut. The Martaline gelding was runner-up to A Dream To Share in the Grade 1 bumper at Punchestown and went to post a 1/8 shot on his first outing over timber at Punchestown in late November. He weakened tamely before the last then when beaten a long way by Shannon Royale. A lot of the yard's runner were improving for an outing at that time and he should leave the run behind. Point-to-point winner Undeniable Alibi was turned over at a short price in a Fairyhouse bumper last month. He may improve for going hurdling now and could get closer. Stoneyford Lady, a half-sister to Captain Guinness, is an interesting newcomer for Henry de Bromhead and market support would be significant.

TULLYHILL was turned over at prohibitive odds first time over hurdles but he was classy in bumpers and is fully expected to go one better here. Stoneyford makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and Undeniable Alibi, although underwhelming on Rules debut, is one to be interested in based on point form.

A talented bumper horse last season, TULLYHILL can atone for his unexpected defeat on hurdling debut at Punchestown.

5	5 (5) (5/1 +17%) Foxboro		5 5/1(+17%)																															(5) Foxboro 5/1, Bagged handicap chases at Fontwell and Newbury last season and back to form with a bang when producing a career-best win at Exeter (30.7f, heavy) last month, suited by the step up to a marathon trip. 5 lb rise seems fair and shortlist material. Hosed up by 20l over Exeter's 3m6f last month and a 5lb rise could have been worse.
3	3 (3) (6/1 +8%) Rose Of Arcadia		6 6/1(+8%)																															(3) Rose Of Arcadia 6/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who can boast a good strike rate and wasn't beaten far in a listed chase at Newbury last time. Not discounted. Ran surprisingly well in a Listed event last time; slog in the mud here won't faze her.
6	6 (6) (7/2 +36%) Sporting Ace		3.5 7/2(+36%)																															(6) Sporting Ace 7/2, Held form well over hurdles despite proving expensive to follow during a busy 2022/23 schedule. Left chase debut form behind as he proved himself better in this sphere than over hurdles when winning 7-runner handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy, 6/1) 29 days ago and promises to stay this far. Jumped well and came clear over Chepstow's extended 2m7f last month; not dismissed.
7	7 (7) (9/2 -13%) Dom Of Mary		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(7) Dom Of Mary 9/2, Got off the mark over fences at Stratford in April and caught the eye after 6 months off when a running-on fourth at Plumpton (25.7f, good to soft). Decent sixth in much better race at Cheltenham soon after and player back down in class with cheekpieces back on. Ran well for a long way over Cheltenham's extended 3m3f latest; this is a lower grade.
11	11 (11) (11/1 -10%) Special Acceptance		11 11/1(-10%)																															(11) Special Acceptance 11/1, Course winner who's been runner-up on his last 3 starts but looks vulnerable back up in class. Runner-up in this three years ago and returns in solid form for another crack at it.
9	9 (9) (11/2 +15%) Gold Clermont		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(9) Gold Clermont 11/2, Landed back-to-back handicaps here (25.7f) in March and all the better for reappearance run over hurdles when resuming winning ways at Fakenham (29.1f, heavy) 19 days ago by 14 lengths from Eceparti, avoiding the churned-up ground by steering a very wide course. More needed up 6 lb in better race. Improving mare who goes well here and romped home 19 days ago at Fakenham.
1	1 (1) (12/1 -60%) Tommie Beau		12 12/1(-60%)																															(1) Tommie Beau 12/1, Dual chase winner in the summer and better than ever when enhancing his good strike rate at Sedgefield (Durham National) and Fontwell (Southern National) last 2 starts. Smashing stayer but 5 lb rise for latest win looks on the harsh side. On another career-high mark but he's already bagged three regional Nationals.
10	10 (10) (14/1 -87%) Eceparti		14 14/1(-87%)																															(10) Eceparti 14/1, Took advantage of a career-low mark in emphatic style when making a winning return at Chepstow (26.3f) in October. Followed up under a penalty at the same course (23.6f, heavy) 8 days later but a further 8 lb rise prevented the hat-trick at Fakenham. Will do well to reverse recent Fakenham placings with easy winner Gold Clermont.
8	8 (8) (18/1 -100%) Blame The Game		18 18/1(-100%)																															(8) Blame The Game 18/1, Three-time chase winner last season who built on return when mid-field in Cheltenham handicap. Can build on that again but heavy ground would be a concern. Just missed out in this last year off 3lb lower; didn't run badly last time at Cheltenham.
4	4 (4) (20/1 +0%) Iceo Madrik		20 20/1(+0%)																															(4) Iceo Madrik 20/1, Useful chaser in France for David Cottin but he has offered little so far for this yard, including back hurdling on Newbury reappearance 37 days ago. Plenty to prove. A foggy case can be made on some of his French form, but poor so far for this yard.
2	2 (2) (50/1 -52%) Sidi Ismael		50 50/1(-52%)																															(2) Sidi Ismael 50/1, Hurdles/chase winner who ended last season with a brace of placed efforts in long distance chases at Taunton/Ffos Las. Underwhelming reappearance at Haydock and failed to complete both starts since. Others preferred. Needs a revival but his assured stamina will come in handy if he's on a going day.

LTO Selection:

---

An eye-catcher when staying on late in a Listed chase at Newbury last time, ROSE OF ARCADIA should be well suited by going up to this marathon trip. The relatively unexposed nine-year-old is narrowly preferred to easy Exeter scorer Foxboro and Tommie Beau, who has won Nationals on his last two starts and comes here off a career-high mark. A taking winner on just his second start in this sphere, Sporting Ace is another key player, along with Gold Clermont.

FOXBORO proved better than ever when winning at Exeter last month, the step up to a marathon trip the making of him, and he can defy a 5 lb rise with more to come over long distances. Dom of Mary and Rose of Arcadia both look on fair marks back down in class so head the dangers.

David Bridgwater's DOM OF MARY is tempting after running so well in what was a quality staying handicap chase at Cheltenham.

4	4 (4) (9/2 +25%) American Money		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(4) American Money 9/2, Creditable fifth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.2f, heavy, 11/2) 26 days ago. Can make presence felt. Could be better going right-handed but in decent form and should not be far away.
9	9 (9) (9/1 -50%) Butty O Brien		9 9/1(-50%)																															(9) Butty O Brien 9/1, 14/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 21 days ago, rallying. Up 4 lb but needs considering. Gamely landed a handicap hurdle at Navan last month; up just 4lb for that; claims.
11	11 (11) (9/1 -29%) Crafty Gael		9 9/1(-29%)																															(11) Crafty Gael 9/1, Creditable third of 13 in handicap hurdle (85/40) at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) 147 days ago. Merits consideration. Not really proven over the trip and probably best watched on his first outing since August.
5	5 (5) (11/2 +31%) Pride Of Place		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(5) Pride Of Place 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Encouraging eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Cork (16.8f, heavy) 28 days ago. Open to progress, especially now stepped up in trip. No impression on his handicap debut at Cork last month but could well be capable of better.
6	6 (6) (12/1 -20%) Politicise		12 12/1(-20%)																															(6) Politicise 12/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. 66/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, good third of 21 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) 10 days ago. One for the shortlist. Fine third in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Leopardstown; will go close with a reproduction.
18	18 (18) (12/1 -20%) Junot		12 12/1(-20%)																															(18) Junot 12/1, Creditable third of 15 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at this course (16f, soft) 24 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Two good runs; good chance of getting into the frame here if suited by the step up in trip.
19	19 (19) (12/1 -20%) Pana To Milan		12 12/1(-20%)																															(19) Pana To Milan 12/1, Creditable fifth of 16 in handicap chase (11/1) at this course (16f, soft) 24 days ago. Switches to hurdles and she enters calculations. Two good chase runs; same hurdles mark; could go well with trip and ground in her favour.
2	2 (2) (12/1 +64%) Ballycallan King		12 12/1(+64%)																															(2) Ballycallan King 12/1, Below form thirteenth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 28/1) 12 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Never got involved in a novice handicap hurdle at Leopardstown; capable of better.
10	10 (10) (14/1 +13%) Circus Act		14 14/1(+13%)																															(10) Circus Act 14/1, 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good second of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (16f) 39 days ago. Switches to hurdles with blinkers on for 1st time. Player. Back to form when runner-up in a Dundalk handicap in November; worth a look in blinkers.
8	8 (8) (16/1 -14%) Blenheim Belle		16 16/1(-14%)																															(8) Blenheim Belle 16/1, Winner in hurdle at Cork in August. 22/1, creditable third of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.8f, soft) 52 days ago. Can give a good account. Consistent efforts in defeat since winning at Cork in August; each-way claims at her best.
3	3 (3) (16/1 +20%) Elusive Guy		16 16/1(+20%)																															(3) Elusive Guy 16/1, Respectable eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 16/1) 50 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Couple of runs on Flat before mid-division in a Navan handicap hurdle; others preferred.
15	15 (15) (16/1 +36%) Joeswayornoway		16 16/1(+36%)																															(15) Joeswayornoway 16/1, 33/1, respectable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, heavy) 31 days ago. Unreliable sort, however. Tailed off on return at Gowran; some return to form when fifth at Clonmel last month.
21	21 (21) (18/1 -29%) Papa Barns		18 18/1(-29%)																															(21) Papa Barns 18/1, Unreliable type. 10/3, tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (23.5f, heavy) 44 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Poor run last time; not the most fluent of jumpers at times but respected on his best form.
1	1 (1) (33/1 +0%) I Don't Get It		33 33/1(+0%)																															(1) I Don't Get It 33/1, Seventh of 13 in handicap chase (7/1) at Down Royal (20f, soft) 12 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers back on with more needed. Out of form since coming back in November, including over fences at Down Royal last time.
7	7 (7) (40/1 -233%) Yabo		40 40/1(-233%)																															(7) Yabo 40/1, Latest win in chase at Gowran in November 2022. 11/2, still in front when fell 3 out in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (21f, good to soft). Off 11 months with her fitness to prove now switched to hurdles. Has won fresh before but possibly best watched reverting to hurdles after such an absence.
20	20 (20) (50/1 -150%) Silent Flight		50 50/1(-150%)																															(20) Silent Flight 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Thurles (15.8f, good to soft). Off 14 months. Up in trip. Market can guide. Fourth in a 2m contest at Thurles 14 months ago; not seen since and probably best watched.
16	16 (16) (66/1 -164%) Road To The Weir		66 66/1(-164%)																															(16) Road To The Weir 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.6f, soft) 118 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Others look better treated at these weights. Not a bad run at Galway last time; probably best watched but worth a market check.
13	13 (13) (100/1 +0%) Sundrenched		100 100/1(+0%)																															(13) Sundrenched 100/1, 125/1, tailed-off fifteenth of 16 to Butty O Brien in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 21 days ago. Ran terribly in two handicap hurdles last month and makes no appeal.
14	14 (14) (100/1 +0%) Tony's Pet		100 100/1(+0%)																															(14) Tony's Pet 100/1, First run since leaving Barry Connell when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (23.5f, heavy, 40/1) 44 days ago, tailing off soon after 4 out. New headgear tried today but very hard to fancy on what he has shown so far.
17	17 (17) (100/1 -100%) Zanjabeel		100 100/1(-100%)																															(17) Zanjabeel 100/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2018. Tenth of 17 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Down Royal (24f, good to soft) 128 days ago. Down in trip. One time Grade 1 winning hurdler in America but poor form in Ireland and makes no appeal.

LTO Selection:

---

BLENHEIM BELLE ran well in a competitive event at Punchestown last time and looks capable of winning again off her current mark. The Churchill mare stayed on into third behind the in-form Hunting Brook then and off just a couple of pounds higher she should be capable of another big show. Butty O Brien was a game winner at Navan three weeks ago and could be a danger off just a 4lb higher mark. Crafty Gael was knocking on the door during the summer but this testing ground would be a slight concern.

Lots with chances. CIRCUS ACT comes here on the back of a very good Dundalk second on the Flat so is taken to capitalise on a lenient mark now back in this sphere. American Money is also weighted to have a say and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can be made for the likes of Butty O Brien, Junot, Pride of Place and Blenheim Belle who all need factoring into this highly competitive handicap.

A sporting selection goes the way of CIRCUS ACT, who returned to form in a Flat handicap at Dundalk in November and is tried in blinkers

3	3 (3) (4/1 -14%) Morfee		4 4/1(-14%)																															(3) Morfee 4/1, Built on earlier promise to gan a first success over fences in 9-runner handicap chase at Taunton (23f, good to soft) 24 days ago, idling and just holding on. Needs considering despite taking a 5 lb rise. Idling winner at Taunton; today's softer surface is a greater concern than the 5lb rise.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +75%) Godot		5 5/1(+75%)																															(5) Godot 5/1, A dual hurdles winner in the spring but not so good since returning from 6 months off, tried over fences (cheekpieces on) when beating only one in C&D handicap last time. Has something to prove. Possibilities on hurdling best; lacked fluency on his recent chase debut here (sixth).
7	7 (7) (9/2 +0%) Flagrant Delitiep		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(7) Flagrant Delitiep 9/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022 but he was running with credit when unseated rider 4 out in handicap chase at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 29 days ago. Enters calculations off a falling mark. Essentially regressive but hasn't been running badly and is not without place claims.
10	10 (10) (12/1 -20%) Shaw's Cross		12 12/1(-20%)																															(10) Shaw's Cross 12/1, Veteran gained his first success over fences here last term for Paul Henderson and in good form for his new yard, runner-up over C&D 20 days ago. Can go well again despite being 3 lb out of the handicap. Near miss here last time; 3lb out of the weights and Philip Armson's claim is welcomed.
4	4 (4) (12/1 -50%) Baddesley		12 12/1(-50%)																															(4) Baddesley 12/1, Temperamental sort but he arrives in excellent nick over hurdles, scoring here before third of 5 at Kempton (24.5f, soft) 41 days ago. Not discounted now switched to chasing. Ran well in his previous chase; recent hurdle efforts bode well; would like drier going.
9	9 (9) (13/2 +19%) Brown Bullet		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(9) Brown Bullet 13/2, A fair 2m2f hurdles winner who wasn't discredited on her first run over fences since 2021 when a C&D third 20 days ago. Can give another good account off an unchanged mark. Rated lower over fences and latest attempt over C&D was a lot more like it.
8	8 (8) (14/1 -17%) Grizzly James		14 14/1(-17%)																															(8) Grizzly James 14/1, Fairly useful ex-French hurdles winner who scored over fences at Hereford and looked set to follow up when falling 2 out at Chepstow later last spring. Off 8 months before pulled up on his recent return at Fontwell but shouldn't be written off for his good yard. Quiet on return but definite claims on last season's improvement; fine on soft.
1	1 (1) (14/1 +44%) Kap Auteuil		14 14/1(+44%)																															(1) Kap Auteuil 14/1, Useful chaser at best but he arrives well out of sorts, tried in cheekpieces on his last two runs at Fontwell and Doncaster. Hard to make a case for. Disappointing and no obvious signs that he's about to exploit his much reduced mark.
2	2 (2) (15/2 -36%) Icaque De L'Isle		7.5 15/2(-36%)																															(2) Icaque De L'Isle 15/2, A fairly useful chase winner in France and has run to a similar level for his current yard, good runner-up on his return in 2m5f handicap at Fakenham. One to consider. Encouraging return at Fakenham and softer conditions here should benefit him.
6	6 (6) (17/2 -143%) Flamelco		8.5 17/2(-143%)																															(6) Flamelco 17/2, A fairly useful winning hurdler in France who posted much his best effort for his current yard when third of 13 in 2m handicap chase at Lingfield 38 days ago, despite looking unsuited by drop in trip. Big shout off a 2 lb lower mark with his stamina now drawn out more. Made mistakes when third at Lingfield and needs to find greater fluency.

LTO Selection:

---

They was plenty of encouragement to be taken from FLAMELCO's first completed start over fences when a staying-on third over 2m at Lingfield in late-November. This stiffer test of stamina should see him in a better light and Gary Moore's inmate edges the vote over Baddesley. The nine-year-old's stamina looked stretched by the extended 3m distance when third over hurdles at Kempton last time and he isn't taken likely on this switch to fences. Morfee and Icaque De L'isle cannot be dismissed either.

FLAMELCO took a big step back in the right direction for Gary Moore when third at Lingfield last time out and with this return to further looking a big plus too he can capitalise on an attractive mark. Icaque de L'Isle is feared most on the back of his good Fakenham second, although it would come as no surprise if Grizzly James bounced back to form and played a part too. Shaw's Cross completes the shortlist.

An open handicap may go to ICAQUE DE L'ISLE who made a positive return at Fakenham on ground which was quicker than ideal for him.

9	9 (9) (4/1 -33%) Kelley Kapowski		4 4/1(-33%)																															(9) Kelley Kapowski 4/1, Elusive Pimpernel filly. Closely related to 2 winners on Flat, including useful 6f-1m winner Elusive Time and half-sister to a winner. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 6f). Worth a chance to make a winning start. Newcomer by Elusive Pimpernel much respected from these quarters;likely to head the market.
4	4 (4) (8/1 -33%) Kaikoura		8 8/1(-33%)																															(4) Kaikoura 8/1, €80,000 3-y-o, Beaumec De Houelle gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful 17f hurdle winner Invictus Machin. Not dismissed. French-bred newcomer and bred to do well over further; attrective rider booking.
5	5 (5) (9/4 +10%) Shuttle Diplomacy		2.25 9/4(+10%)																															(5) Shuttle Diplomacy 9/4, Dschingis Secret gelding. Dam, lightly raced on Flat in France, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 25f) De Boitron. Jockey booking catches the eye. Stable has done well with its bumper runners with the champion amateur booked.
2	2 (2) (10/1 +29%) Call Back Tuesday		10 10/1(+29%)																															(2) Call Back Tuesday 10/1, Fast Company gelding. Half-brother to useful 5f-6f winner Aleef. Dam ran once on Flat. Stamina could be an issue. Flat-bred newcomer by Fast Company and probably best watched on debut.
1	1 (1) (11/1 +8%) Balovale		11 11/1(+8%)																															(1) Balovale 11/1, Zambezi Sun gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Commandant and fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Harvey's Quay. Wears hood. One to note. Home-bred son of Zambezi Sun and related to plenty of stable winners; hooded for his debut.
3	3 (3) (11/2 +8%) Frogman		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(3) Frogman 11/2, €17,000 3-y-o, Ol' Man River gelding. Dam maiden on Flat. Worth a market check. Nice mixture of speed and stamina in his pedigree; stable won this two years ago.
10	10 (10) (14/1 +30%) Paudie's Wings		14 14/1(+30%)																															(10) Paudie's Wings 14/1, Wings of Eagles filly. Dam (c117), 2½m/21f hurdle/chase winner (stayed 25f), half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stays 23f) Ajp Kingdom. Daughter of Wings Of Eagles from a stable that won this race twice in the last ten years.
8	8 (8) (20/1 -67%) I'm Flattered		20 20/1(-67%)																															(8) I'm Flattered 20/1, Churchill filly. Dam fairly useful 1¼m winner on Flat. Likely to be suited by this sort of test. Quite a speedily-bred newcomer by Churchill; best watched unless the market says otherwise.
7	7 (7) (22/1 -10%) Zazir		22 22/1(-10%)																															(7) Zazir 22/1, €2,500 3-y-o, Kingman gelding. Half-brother to 1½m/13f winner in France Zaniyka. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner. Worth monitoring in the betting. From a typical middle-distance Aga Khan family and the rider booking is an attractive one.
6	6 (6) (50/1 -52%) Squire Darlin		50 50/1(-52%)																															(6) Squire Darlin 50/1, Workforce gelding. Dam (h93) ran twice over hurdles. Doesn't make much appeal on paper. Home-bred newcomer and likely to be suited by the ground; best watched on debut though.

LTO Selection:

---

Patrick Mullins rode a winner for Tom Cooper in these colours last year when D Art D Art won a four-year-old bumper at Gowran Park and he is an eye-catching booking for SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY. The French-bred gelding is a son of German Group 1 winner Dschingis Secret and his dam is a half-sister to French Group 1 winner Tac De Boistron. Gordon Elliott saddles Kelley Kapowski, a daughter of Elusive Pimpernel, and she commands respect. She is a half-sister to Swedish Listed winner Elusive Time. Richard O'Brien does well with his bumper horses and won this a couple of years ago with Impulsive Dancer. Money for Frogman, an Ol' Man River gelding, would be noteworthy.

KELLEY KAPOWSKI is related to a few Flat winners and represents a top stable, so she's the one to side with without the benefit of market clues. Shuttle Diplomacy is one to note with Patrick Mullins on board and Balovale is of interest on pedigree.

No more than a sporting selection goes to PAUDIE'S WINGS from a stable that usually lines one up for this race with some success

8	8 (8) (3/1 +10%) Bucephalus		3 3/1(+10%)																															(8) Bucephalus 3/1, Fairly useful 1m Flat winner for Chris Wall and made an encouraging start over hurdles when in the frame three times for Laura Young. Creditable third at Kempton on return and enters calculations. Twice ran well on Flat last year; pleasing third back hurdling and can improve on that.
4	4 (4) (7/1 -250%) Colours On Canvas		7 7/1(-250%)																															(4) Colours On Canvas 7/1, Shaped well when fourth on debut in a big-field Naas maiden hurdle (16.3f, soft) during the spring and overcame a troubled passage to make a winning start for this yard in novice at Lingfield. Handicapper hasn't been lenient but there's scope for more. Did it nicely at Lingfield and dangerously unexposed now sent into handicaps.
7	7 (7) (7/4 +65%) Saligo Bay		1.75 7/4(+65%)																															(7) Saligo Bay 7/4, Reliable hurdler who didn't need to up his game to land a C&D seller readily 48 days ago. On a fair mark and looks worthy of respect. Strolled home in a seller here last time and can hold his own in handicap company.
10	10 (10) (8/1 +11%) Birdman Bob		8 8/1(+11%)																															(10) Birdman Bob 8/1, Found some improvement when opening his account on return in a C&D handicap last month but struggled to make an impact upped in grade at Lingfield next time. Stumbled and unseated here on latest outing. C&D winner on return; weakened tamely next time and then slipped up here mid-race.
5	5 (5) (9/1 +44%) Sun Joy		9 9/1(+44%)																															(5) Sun Joy 9/1, French Flat winner who has shown better form as a hurdler but has disappointed on both starts for current yard. Respectable French form; 2nd in a UK maiden before struggling on heavy at Sandown.
1	1 (1) (11/1 +21%) Zacony Rebel		11 11/1(+21%)																															(1) Zacony Rebel 11/1, Dual winner in this sphere as a novice and made a winning chase debut at Fontwell last October. Disappointing since, though, and cheekpieces didn't have much effect at Lingfield last time. Has lost his way and never threatened on his return to hurdles when tried in cheekpieces.
2	2 (2) (14/1 +0%) Inferno Sacree		14 14/1(+0%)																															(2) Inferno Sacree 14/1, Resumed with success in 2m2f handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot but has been a bit underwhelming on his last two starts. Below par the last twice but this front-runner could be dangerous around here.
12	12 (12) (18/1 -29%) Clongowes		18 18/1(-29%)																															(12) Clongowes 18/1, lat winner who remains a maiden in this sphere but showed some promise starting out for new yard when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (2m) last month. Eased further 4 lb ahead of this. Strike-rate of 2-40 and he could have run better on his recent return from an absence.
6	6 (6) (28/1 -12%) Alto Alto		28 28/1(-12%)																															(6) Alto Alto 28/1, Left previous chasing efforts behind when winning 17f handicap at Plumpton in April. Hasn't fired since and returns to hurdling now. Off colour of late over fences but could revive back over hurdles with new headgear tried.
9	9 (9) (100/1 -203%) Stopherandgo		100 100/1(-203%)																															(9) Stopherandgo 100/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. First run since leaving Claire Harris when 28/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, soft) 42 days ago, well beaten after 4 out. Others more persuasive. Novice winner last season but has been uncompetitive in her two handicaps.

LTO Selection:

---

BUCEPHALUS posted a respectable third on his return to hurdling at Kempton in November and a similar effort may suffice in this open affair. Colours On Canvas landed a novice hurdle at Lingfield last time with something in hand and an opening mark of 114 looks workable. The five-year-old may emerge as the chief threat to the selection, ahead of Sun Joy, who wasn't disgraced in a deeper event at Sandown last month.

SALIGO BAY had plenty in hand when landing a seller over C&D last time and he's fairly treated back in handicap company, so he's preferred to One Last Glance who made a positive return from a long absence at Lingfield recently. Bucephalus is also considered.

Handicap debutant COLOURS ON CANVAS is by far and away the least exposed of these and could be too well treated for the rest.

10	10 (10) (3/1 +63%) Charlie's Choice		3 3/1(+63%)																															(10) Charlie's Choice 3/1, After 12 weeks off, still green when fourth of 11 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 11 days ago, left poorly placed. Could still have more to offer. 0-6; finished closer on last two outings, latterly when a never-nearer fourth over C&D.
9	9 (9) (9/1 +25%) Further Measure		9 9/1(+25%)																															(9) Further Measure 9/1, Course winner. Fared no better than on stable debut when ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 18/1) 33 days ago. Return to this longer trip should suit, but others still more persuasive at present. Never figured for new yard over 1m last two runs; usually seen over further than this too.
3	3 (3) (9/1 -157%) Russian Virtue		9 9/1(-157%)																															(3) Russian Virtue 9/1, Successful at Newcastle on last Flat run in March 2023. Has been in good form over hurdles, making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts when beating sole rival in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17f, heavy, 2/5) 35 days ago. Major player. Did well last January-March when last seen on Flat; in cracking form over hurdles since.
1	1 (1) (11/4 -10%) Shaheen Saqaar		2.75 11/4(-10%)																															(1) Shaheen Saqaar 11/4, Showed improved form when getting off the mark in 10-runner handicap at this C&D (5/2) 8 days ago, scoring in good style. May do better still so he's not taken lightly. Major player despite 6lb rise after his clearcut, breakthrough win over C&D eight days ago.
6	6 (6) (12/1 -20%) Prince Ali		12 12/1(-20%)																															(6) Prince Ali 12/1, Course winner. Drawn widest when sixth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at this course (8.6f) 28 days ago. Had been in good heart previously, so no surprise to see him bounce back. Highly competitive in most of his appearances at Wolverhampton (8.6f/9.4f) last year.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +13%) Masqool		6.5 13/2(+13%)																															(2) Masqool 13/2, Course winner. Not seen to best effect when seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 6/1) 16 days ago, keeping on when short of room final 1f. Capable of getting involved as he drops back down in grade. Has shown enough off reduced marks to suggest he should not be far away.
8	8 (8) (13/2 +19%) Verona Star		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(8) Verona Star 13/2, Did well under the circumstances when second of 8 in handicap (13/2) at this course (8.6f) 8 days ago, coming from further back than ideal. Remains early days with current yard, so he merits consideration back up in trip. Running-on second of eight here (8.6f) eight days ago on second start for new stable.
5	5 (5) (14/1 -56%) Rise Hall		14 14/1(-56%)																															(5) Rise Hall 14/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. Run best excused when tenth of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Newcastle (8f) 54 days ago, no room around 2f out and shuffled back. Lurks on a dangerous mark with visor reapplied. Closer on penultimate start and didn't get the best of runs when joint-favourite on latest.
12	12 (12) (25/1 +0%) Hotspur Harry		25 25/1(+0%)																															(12) Hotspur Harry 25/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Again below form when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 22/1) 87 days ago, very slowly away. Back from three months off and his peak mark last year was 11lb higher.
7	7 (7) (50/1 -213%) Franco Grasso		50 50/1(-213%)																															(7) Franco Grasso 50/1, Stepped up on recent outing when fifth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 17 days ago. Needs to build on his latest run with cheekpieces back on. Has never raced over a trip this short and his AW record is not compelling.
11	11 (11) (100/1 -203%) Still Standing		100 100/1(-203%)																															(11) Still Standing 100/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. After a couple of below-par efforts over hurdles, ran poorly back on the Flat when ninth of 11 in handicap (125/1) at this C&D 11 days ago. Best watched. Recent runs, including two here, do not suggest he's about to break his losing sequence.

SHAHEEN SAQAAR was an impressive C&D winner eight days ago and Ed Dunlop's gelding commands plenty of respect on the back of that performance, despite a 6lb rise in the ratings. Russian Virtue merits consideration on his return to the Flat after scoring over hurdles last month, while Tio Mio and Verona Star are others to consider in a wide-open event.

RUSSIAN VIRTUE has proved better than ever over hurdles of late, battling well when making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Carlisle in December, and he can score again from a workable mark back on the level. The main danger could be Shaheen Saqaar, who opened his account in good style at this C&D last time, with Verona Star another to note.

Plenty have each-way interest but SHAHEEN SAQAAR appeals most, with scope for further improvement following his recent breakthrough win.

3	3 (3) (6/4 -36%) Dream Of Hope		1.5 6/4(-36%)																															(3) Dream Of Hope 6/4, Promising type. Much better effort when third of 12 in novice event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 72 days ago. Open to improvement. Sets the standard and today's extra yardage seems sure to bring her on some more.
7	7 (7) (9/4 +59%) Ville Natale		2.25 9/4(+59%)																															(7) Ville Natale 9/4, Nathaniel filly. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 1¼m-1½m winner Zambezi Sun. 7/1 and hooded, third of 7 in novice at Chelmsford City (8f) on debut 24 days ago, needing stiffer test. Should progress. Held up off a steady pace at Chelmsford (1m) and yet came home nicely for third.
4	4 (4) (12/1 +25%) Fairy Glen		12 12/1(+25%)																															(4) Fairy Glen 12/1, Farhh filly. Dam 1¼m-16.2f winner. Eighth of 13 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 16/1) on debut 18 days ago. Has shown the least of those with form after finishing down the field at Kempton.
6	6 (6) (13/2 +13%) La Fleur Petrus		6.5 13/2(+13%)																															(6) La Fleur Petrus 13/2, Street Boss filly. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner), half-sister to useful 10.5f winner Hug And A Kiss. 20/1, fourth of 11 in novice at this course (8.6f) on debut 22 days ago, not ideally placed. Likely to improve. From off the pace she couldn't land a serious blow at Wolverhampton but ran well.
5	5 (5) (16/1 -129%) Hail The Flag		16 16/1(-129%)																															(5) Hail The Flag 16/1, Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to useful French 2-y-o 9f winner Parade Music and French/US winner up to 9.5f Parauari. Dam, French 1½m winner, half-sister to 11f-15f winner Pretty Tough and winner up to 10.5f Pirate Bay (both useful). Lacks experience but she's interesting on paper; dam is from the family of Stradivarius.
9	9 (9) (17/2 -55%) Windcrack		8.5 17/2(-55%)																															(9) Windcrack 17/2, Cracksman filly. Dam, 1½m winner, closely related to smart winner up to 14.4f Duretto out of useful 9f-1½m winner Landinium. Third of 8 in novice (22/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 32 days ago, very slowly away. Should improve. Has a stout pedigree so her keeping-on third at Lingfield was encouraging.
2	2 (2) (22/1 -340%) College Choir		22 22/1(-340%)																															(2) College Choir 22/1, Nathaniel filly. Sister to useful winner up to 1½m Sound of Cannons and closely related to 1½m-2m winner Ghadbbaan and 16.6f winner Breccia. Dam, 9f-1¼m winner, sister to very smart 1m-1¼m winner Chorist. One to note. From a fine family and market confidence would heighten interest.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -100%) Warbler		28 28/1(-100%)																															(8) Warbler 28/1, Bated Breath filly. Dam, 12.3f winner, closely related to multiple Group 1 winner up to 2½m Fame And Glory. 18/1, fourth of 10 in novice at Lingfield (8f, AW) 32 days ago. Beaten in the region of 9l in 1m novices at Kempton and Lingfield; others have shown more.
1	1 (1) (150/1 -50%) Ashkhabad		150 150/1(-50%)																															(1) Ashkhabad 150/1, Unplaced in pair of bumpers. Off 12 months. Good Flat pedigree but now a 6yo and has finished down the field in two bumpers.

LTO Selection:

DREAM OF HOPE took a big step forward from her debut when a close third at Lingfield last time and she could be hard to beat if finding further progression. Windcrack displayed plenty of promise when making the frame on her racecourse bow last month and the daughter of Cracksman is an obvious threat to the selection. College Choir is a noteworthy newcomer along with Hail The Flag.

DREAM OF HOPE was very green on her debut at Newmarket in September and duly left that well behind when third at Lingfield the following month. She remains with potential and should be well up to winning an ordinary novice such as this. Windcrack did well to make a place after a very slow start at Lingfield and is next best ahead of Ville Natale, who shaped as if this stiffer test will suit at Chelmsford.

After hitting a flat spot, DREAM OF HOPE was a strong finisher at Lingfield and can improve for this flatter track and longer trip.

12	12 (12) (3/1 +40%) Artisan Dancer		3 3/1(+40%)																															(12) Artisan Dancer 3/1, Three wins from 15 runs last year. 9/4, creditable second of 12 in handicap at this course (14f) 11 days ago. Should give another good account. Keeps running well but it's been in defeat when favourite on last seven starts.
7	7 (7) (7/2 +46%) Thirtyfourstitches		3.5 7/2(+46%)																															(7) Thirtyfourstitches 7/2, Useful jumps winner. Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Significantly up in trip. Shaped encouragingly at Wolverhampton last time and should do better now handicapping. Still a fairly useful hurdler, which makes this opening Flat mark look attractive.
6	6 (6) (7/4 +13%) Savvy Brilliance		1.75 7/4(+13%)																															(6) Savvy Brilliance 7/4, Scored here in November before producing a career best when following up in 12-runner handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 26 days ago, easily. Looks the one to beat from 9 lb higher mark. Made the running to justify favouritism here (1m4f) and at Southwell (1m6f); on the up.
1	1 (1) (9/1 +0%) Award Dancer		9 9/1(+0%)																															(1) Award Dancer 9/1, Latest win at Redcar in October. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 50/1) 16 days ago, faring best of those held up. Not taken lightly. Wind surgery before close fourth over 2m at Southwell 16 days ago, finishing strongly.
5	5 (5) (11/1 -100%) Caldwell		11 11/1(-100%)																															(5) Caldwell 11/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 17 days ago. Remains well treated on best form and should be in the mix again. 2-6 on AW; won well on Southwell Tapeta (2m) under Elle-May Croot on second run for yard.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +0%) Simiyann		14 14/1(+0%)																															(8) Simiyann 14/1, Offered something to work on having first run since leaving Francis-Henri Graffard when fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f) on UK debut 19 days ago. Will need to go forward now stepping up in trip. 80-1 in an amateurs' race when promising fifth of 11 here (9.4f) on British/handicap debut.
2	2 (2) (14/1 -100%) C'mon Kenny		14 14/1(-100%)																															(2) C'mon Kenny 14/1, Latest win at Kempton in October. Ninth of 14 in handicap (6/1) at Kempton (16f) 48 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Better than he was able to show there and isn't dismissed. Won at Kempton (2m) in October and not disgraced over that C&D on his only start since.
11	11 (11) (33/1 -106%) First Charge		33 33/1(-106%)																															(11) First Charge 33/1, C&D winner. 10/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (14f) 11 days ago, very slowly away. Dropped to a handy mark but concerns about regular slow breaks mean he's hard to have confidence in. Habitual slow-starter and fluffed the stalls completely on last two outings; risky.
3	3 (3) (40/1 -100%) Alpine Stroll		40 40/1(-100%)																															(3) Alpine Stroll 40/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, first run since leaving Ed De Giles when fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 18 days ago. Others preferred. 2-34; recent debut for new yard at Lingfield was satisfactory; might not be far away.
9	9 (9) (40/1 -100%) Ragosina		40 40/1(-100%)																															(9) Ragosina 40/1, Won at Newmarket in June for James Ferguson. Went backwards from hurdling debut when 16/1, 28¾ lengths seventh of 9 to Wodhooh in juvenile hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Others make greater appeal. Competitive on 1m2f/1m4f form on turf last year for James Ferguson; two hurdle races since.
10	10 (10) (40/1 -60%) Smart Champion		40 40/1(-60%)																															(10) Smart Champion 40/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Southwell (16.5f) 16 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has slipped down the weights but little encouragement from recent starts. 9yo who was 0-11 last year despite coming steadily down the weights; new headgear.
4	4 (4) (100/1 -614%) Golden Keeper		100 100/1(-614%)																															(4) Golden Keeper 100/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 3/1). Off 94 days. First run for yard after leaving S. P. C. Woods. Cheekpieces back on. Others make greater appeal. Stays 1m6f and one of his two attempts at this trip was also creditable; left Sean Woods.

LTO Selection:

ARTISAN DANCER has been running consistently well in defeat of late and the step back up to 2m could see him return to winning ways. That said, Savvy Brilliance arrives here seeking a hat-trick and he merits the utmost respect as a result, while the recent Southwell winner Caldwell edges out C'mon Kenny and Award Dancer to be best of the rest.

A good contest for the grade, with the rapidly-improving SAVVY BRILLIANCE fancied to complete the hat-trick having bolted up at Southwell last month. Caldwell resumed winning ways last month and is still well treated on his best form, so also ranks high on the shortlist, with Award Dancer and Artisan Dancer others to consider.

Most could be in with a decent shout. SAVVY BRILLIANCE is selected to complete the hat-trick now that he is upped in trip again.

10	10 (10) (4/1 +56%) Summa Peto		4 4/1(+56%)																															(10) Summa Peto 4/1, C&D winner. Off 7 months and shaped encouragingly on his first run since leaving Keith Dalgleish when fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 51 days ago. Can build on it. 14lb below peak mark; new yard (second run for them) may well have something to work with.
9	9 (9) (5/1 +23%) True Statesman		5 5/1(+23%)																															(9) True Statesman 5/1, Creditable ½-length third of 8 to Ernie's Valentine in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 8 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and can go well again. Wandered once hitting the front when close C&D third latest; now has headgear first time.
8	8 (8) (5/1 +44%) Borgi		5 5/1(+44%)																															(8) Borgi 5/1, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 31 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. C&D winner; mixed messages, having sparked only once from four starts last season.
7	7 (7) (7/1 -8%) Ernie's Valentine		7 7/1(-8%)																															(7) Ernie's Valentine 7/1, Improved on recent efforts for his new yard to win 8-runner handicap at this C&D 8 days ago by ½ length from Bass Player. Up 2 lb but he did well to come off a modest pace there so another bold showing is on the cards. Won from Bass Player and True Statesman over C&D eight days ago on second run for new yard.
4	4 (4) (10/1 +0%) Chantico		10 10/1(+0%)																															(4) Chantico 10/1, First run since leaving Roger Varian when eighth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 15/2) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly at these weights if back on song. Ex-Roger Varian; prominent long way at Kempton 18 days ago on yard debut; cheekpieces now.
12	12 (12) (12/1 -33%) Cosmos Raj		12 12/1(-33%)																															(12) Cosmos Raj 12/1, Gained first AW win in 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f, 11/4) 10 days ago. Visor replaces cheekpieces and in the mix once more. Should have a say if first-time visor (replacing usual cheekpieces) has no adverse effect.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +13%) Bass Player		6.5 13/2(+13%)																															(2) Bass Player 13/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 4/1, good ½-length second of 8 to Ernie's Valentine in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago. Unreliable sort, though. No win since debut but split two of these rivals with close call over C&D eight days ago.
1	1 (1) (17/2 +6%) Titan Rock		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(1) Titan Rock 17/2, Course winner. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at this course (7.2f) 29 days ago. Up in trip. Merits consideration. Looks in good enough form to be thereabouts if he sees it out on first run beyond 1m.
6	6 (6) (18/1 -29%) Hartswood		18 18/1(-29%)																															(6) Hartswood 18/1, Latest win at Ayr in October. 12/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 43 days ago so needs to bounce back. Lesser efforts last three outings, latest here six weeks ago on just his fifth AW start.
11	11 (11) (25/1 -79%) Law Supreme		25 25/1(-79%)																															(11) Law Supreme 25/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 40/1) 12 days ago, needing stronger gallop. No forlorn hope. 100-1 and 40-1 when never threatening for new stable; could be on his way back.
5	5 (5) (33/1 -175%) Maysong		33 33/1(-175%)																															(5) Maysong 33/1, 12/1, respectable eighth of 16 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good), not clear run. Off 92 days but can't be discounted. Sole AW win (25 races) was in 2019; he does not look the best handicapped in this sphere.

LTO Selection:

BASS PLAYER (second) was defeated by Ernie's Valentine when the pair met over C&D last month, but the former, who has been operating from a reduced mark in recent starts, can reverse that form on today's revised terms. Cosmos Raj struck at Newcastle 10 days ago and must be respected from just 3lb higher, while others to note include Summa Peto and True Statesman.

Plenty with chances but ERNIE'S VALENTINE has made a really positive start to life with David Loughnane and is fancied to make light of a 2 lb rise for his recent C&D success having overcome a pace bias there. Summa Peto also started out well for a new yard when a C&D fifth last time and is feared most with improvement anticipated ahead of Titan Rock, who could benefit from this step up in trip.

This looks tight. Plenty bring recent recommendations but SUMMA PETO features off a tempting mark on his second run for Mick Appleby.

10	10 (10) (9/1 +55%) Shoot To Kill		9 9/1(+55%)																															(10) Shoot To Kill 9/1, Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in September. Eighth of 9 in handicap (13/2) back at that venue (10f, AW) 43 days ago. Bounce back anticipated returned to this trip. Course winner who was in good form prior to being stretched by 1m2f last time.
1	1 (1) (11/10 +63%) Smoky Mountain		1.1 11/10(+63%)																															(1) Smoky Mountain 11/10, Lightly-raced C&D winner. 3/1, very good second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago, headway when not clear run from early in straight and running on. Appeals as being on a handy mark and very much one for the shortlist. Went very close over C&D on handicap debut and he should have more to offer; strong claims.
6	6 (6) (12/1 -140%) Rock Opera		12 12/1(-140%)																															(6) Rock Opera 12/1, Bounced back to best to win 12-runner handicap (12/1) at this course (6.1f) 45 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. 3 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent him going well again but will need things to pan out perfectly from widest draw. Got up late over 6f here last time & this first crack at 7f could prompt further progress.
5	5 (5) (13/2 +35%) Rogue Thunder		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(5) Rogue Thunder 13/2, Off the mark in maiden company (following wind op) at Chelmsford (7f) in November. Poorly drawn and failed to settle having raced wide when twelfth of 13 in handicap back there (7f) 31 days ago but he's certainly not one to give up on. Well beaten on h'cap debut but didn't settle out wide; inside draw here; retains potential.
12	12 (12) (15/2 +32%) Alethiometer		7.5 15/2(+32%)																															(12) Alethiometer 15/2, First run since leaving Michael Dods when good nose second of 12 to Jahidin in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 25/1) 30 days ago, edged out post but nicely clear of remainder. Essentially went the right way last year and she's respected. Looked as good as ever when going very close at Newcastle on AW/stable debut; respected.
2	2 (2) (16/1 -60%) Al Marmar		16 16/1(-60%)																															(2) Al Marmar 16/1, Ended time with Andrew Balding badly out of sorts but eased plenty in weights and big step back in right direction on second start for new yard when fifth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 31 days ago. One to keep an eye on. Eyecatching fifth at Chelmsford on second start for this yard, when denied a clear run.
11	11 (11) (17/2 +39%) Dutch Kingdom		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(11) Dutch Kingdom 17/2, Landed back-to-back handicaps here/Lingfield late last year and again ran well despite proving keen early when fifth in a C&D handicap 16 days ago, headed last ½f. Fancied to remain competitive. Only fifth over C&D in hat-trick bid but wasn't beaten far and has a better draw today.
3	3 (3) (18/1 -100%) Society Lion		18 18/1(-100%)																															(3) Society Lion 18/1, Course winner. Latest win at Windsor in July. 10/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 7 days ago, ridden 2f out and one paced. Draw could have been kinder. Good 4th off this mark at Lingfield on New Year's Eve but over 6f which seems to suit best.
4	4 (4) (20/1 -150%) Jahidin		20 20/1(-150%)																															(4) Jahidin 20/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in December. 4/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 10 days ago, weakening final 1f. Application of first-time cheekpieces may well have positive effect here. Won at Newcastle last month; below par there since but not written off now in cheekpieces.
8	8 (8) (25/1 -79%) Kalganov		25 25/1(-79%)																															(8) Kalganov 25/1, Three wins from 15 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in December. 13/2, tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 22 days ago, slowly away. Won in first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle last month but disappointing there 8 days later.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -313%) Beltane		33 33/1(-313%)																															(7) Beltane 33/1, 18/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 31 days ago, keeping on to be nearest at the finish. Eased 1 lb subsequently and entitled to be sharper with that under his belt. Returned from break with fair seventh at Chelmsford and could build on that effort.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -100%) Poetic Force		50 50/1(-100%)																															(9) Poetic Force 50/1, 5-time course winner. Latest win at Brighton (7f) in August. Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Brighton (8f, heavy, 14/1) 80 days ago, headed 1f out, no extra last ½f. May find a few too good back from a break. Some good runs at Brighton when last seen and has an excellent record here; 80-day break.

SMOKY MOUNTAIN met trouble at various points on last month's handicap debut, so it was to his credit that the son of Frankel only went down by a neck. The unexposed four-year-old was only raised 1lb for that effort and this looks a decent opportunity for him to go one better. Rock Opera struck over 6f here in November and must be respected upped in trip, while Society Lion appeals most of the remainder.

SMOKY MOUNTAIN arrives easily one of the least exposed and marked himself down as one to be interested in from this sort of mark when runner-up on his handicap debut over C&D 16 days ago, headway when not clear run entering straight and running on. He gets the vote to confirm the promise of that run, with Jahidin, equipped with first-time cheekpieces and Alethiometer heading the dangers. Al Marmar is another to keep an eye on.

The unexposed 4yo SMOKY MOUNTAIN (nap) went very close over C&D on his handicap debut and there can be optimism he's capable of better.

Much respected on his yard/handicap debut. C&D novice winner for Sir Mark Prescott; could be on a good mark for new, in-form trainer.
9	9 (9) (7/1 +22%) Night On Earth		7 7/1(+22%)																															(9) Night On Earth 7/1, C&D winner. 9/2, ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 16 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Back down in trip now with cheekpieces refitted and not dismissed. Not the force of old but on a dangerous mark and could make bold bid back down in trip.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +25%) Strong Johnson		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(4) Strong Johnson 9/2, Three wins from 19 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in November. 11/1, fair second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 9 days ago. Weighted to go well eased 1 lb. Won at Newcastle in November & some good runs since (including C&D); could be thereabouts.
7	7 (7) (10/1 -18%) Conquistador		10 10/1(-18%)																															(7) Conquistador 10/1, C&D winner. 8/1, respectable sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 8 days ago. One for the shortlist off a 3 lb lower mark. C&D winner whose mark continues to fall but others arrive with more compelling claims.
1	1 (1) (10/3 +5%) Zarzyni		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(1) Zarzyni 10/3, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022 but he got back on track when fourth of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 120 days ago. One to consider. Form went wrong way last season but he's dropped down the weights and is effective here.
6	6 (6) (16/1 -60%) Pockley		16 16/1(-60%)																															(6) Pockley 16/1, Unreliable individual. Latest win at Newcastle in November. 4/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago, running on under a patient ride. Not ruled out if on a going day. Can lose his race at the start but he could be a contender if things pan out favourably.
5	5 (5) (16/5 +9%) Diomed Spirit		3.2 16/5(+9%)																															(5) Diomed Spirit 16/5, C&D winner who completed a hat-trick in 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 31 days ago. Progressing well recently so he merits serious consideration despite taking a 4 lb rise. Has won his last three; did it cosily last time; clearly progressive and has strong claims.
2	2 (2) (25/1 -317%) Lihou		25 25/1(-317%)																															(2) Lihou 25/1, C&D winner. Five wins from 15 runs last year. Latest win at Goodwood in August. Last of 8 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, heavy, 18/1). Off 99 days but the sort to bounce back. Five 5f handicap wins last year, including here; not ruled out back from a break.
3	3 (3) (33/1 -136%) Streamline		33 33/1(-136%)																															(3) Streamline 33/1, Course winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 10/1). Off 17 months with his fitness to prove and the market can guide. Handicapper has given him a chance & trainer among winners, but has hefty absence to defy.
11	11 (11) (100/1 -150%) Kimifive		100 100/1(-150%)																															(11) Kimifive 100/1, Latest win at Epsom in August. Last of 6 in handicap (22/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 58 days ago, very slowly away. Significantly down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Ian Williams with work to do. Won off this mark last August but struggled since; may be best watched on stable debut.

LTO Selection:

There has been no stopping DIOMED SPIRIT, who arrives having completed his hat-trick at Chelmsford last month. A further 4lb rise might not be enough to stop Stuart Williams' in-form gelding, although Strong Johnson should give him plenty to think about. Moon Flight bolted up in a C&D novice event in November and he might have more to offer now switched to handicaps.

Stuart Williams looks to hold a strong hand here and his thriving 4-y-o DIOMED SPIRIT is taken to edge out handily-weighted stablemate Conquistador and complete a fine four-timer. Strong Johnson is another weighted to have a say, while Zarzyni and in-form Moon Flight need factoring in too.

The thriving 4yo DIOMED SPIRIT had more in hand than the neck winning margin suggests at Chelmsford and he can land the four-timer.

6	6 (6) (8/1 -33%) Voltaic		8 8/1(-33%)																															(6) Voltaic 8/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (7f, 11/4) 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Can be competitive off this mark but does need things to fall right. Below best here on Boxing Day; in good heart previously & each-way player if bouncing back.
4	4 (4) (8/1 -33%) My Boy Jack		8 8/1(-33%)																															(4) My Boy Jack 8/1, C&D winner in October. Respectable sixth of 11 in C&D handicap 19 days ago. Visor back on. Two C&D wins last year; below best last time but the headgear change could be a positive.
1	1 (1) (9/2 -80%) Miss Moonshine		4.5 9/2(-80%)																															(1) Miss Moonshine 9/2, Third win of 2023 when seeing off 9 rivals at Lingfield (6f) on New Year's Eve. A penalty is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing from a filly who hails from a yard in form. Won at Lingfield on New Year's Eve and has strong claims under 5lb penalty.
8	8 (8) (9/4 +36%) Doves Of Peace		2.25 9/4(+36%)																															(8) Doves Of Peace 9/4, Cheekpieces on first time, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, 10/3) 63 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Showed pace in cheekpieces over 7f last time; the drop back to 6f is well worth exploring.
5	5 (5) (10/1 +0%) He's An Angel		10 10/1(+0%)																															(5) He's An Angel 10/1, 5/1, first run since leaving Tim Easterby when tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (5f) 28 days ago, badly hampered final 1f. Has gone close off this mark before. 0-11 but badly hampered over C&D on last month's stable debut; could be in the mix.
9	9 (9) (10/1 +29%) Indie Skies		10 10/1(+29%)																															(9) Indie Skies 10/1, Below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7f) 16 days ago but had finished runner-up at Kempton prior to that. Runner-up at Kempton last month but disappointing sixth at Southwell subsequently.
2	2 (2) (10/1 -25%) Therehegoes		10 10/1(-25%)																															(2) Therehegoes 10/1, Course winner in March who added to tally at Windsor in June. Mostly good efforts later in the summer and had an excuse (second run in 3 days) when below par last time. Should be competitive if ready to roll after 163 days off. Returns from a break on a competitive mark but he's done his winning at 5f.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -45%) Mrs Trump		16 16/1(-45%)																															(3) Mrs Trump 16/1, Runner-up twice on turf over the summer but not at his best when last seen in September. This is only his second outing on AW. On a handy mark on last summer's turf form but below par in the autumn and now 0-13.
10	10 (10) (18/1 -80%) Jumira Bridge		18 18/1(-80%)																															(10) Jumira Bridge 18/1, Three wins from 18 runs last year, including C&D. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 27 days ago, nearest finish. Can make presence felt. 10yo who can be inconsistent but some good runs towards end of 2023; could be in shake-up.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +0%) My Turn Now		25 25/1(+0%)																															(7) My Turn Now 25/1, 22/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Visor on first time. Has tumbled down the weights but the first-time visor needs to prompt a revival.
12	12 (12) (28/1 -100%) Savannah Smiles		28 28/1(-100%)																															(12) Savannah Smiles 28/1, Won at Lingfield (AW) in June. Off 3 months, creditable third of 11 in classified event at Lingfield (6f) 3 days ago, nearest finish. Third in Lingfield classified on Thursday; might not be far away now back in a handicap.
11	11 (11) (33/1 +0%) Ok Pal		33 33/1(+0%)																															(11) Ok Pal 33/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) 63 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Tony Carroll. Watching brief is advised unless the betting suggests otherwise. Kempton winner but well beaten on last two starts and something to prove on stable debut.

LTO Selection:

---

The Rod Millman stable can do little wrong at present and this looks like an ideal opportunity for MISS MOONSHINE to follow up after a taking success at Lingfield recently. A 5lb penalty will make life tougher, but she should have too much for Voltaic and My Boy Jack, who was runner-up over C&D on his penultimate outing. He's An Angel and Therehegoes are capable of being in the shake-up too.

MISS MOONSHINE might be up to defying a penalty for in-form Rod Millman. Jumira Bridge has been better than the result on both outings since his Chelmsford win in October and heads the dangers along with Doves of Peace and the returning Therehegoes.

Rod Millman's stable is in tremendous form and MISS MOONSHINE can defy a 5lb penalty for her win at Lingfield on New Year's Eve.

11	11 (11) (4/1 +0%) White Mist		4 4/1(+0%)																															(11) White Mist 4/1, Visored for 1st time, career best when winning 11-runner handicap (12/1) at this C&D 19 days ago by ½ length from Sisters In The Sky. Has to be taken seriously. Off mark on 16th run, over C&D in 1st-time visor; strong claims if visor maintains effect.
5	5 (5) (5/1 -25%) Sisters In The Sky		5 5/1(-25%)																															(5) Sisters In The Sky 5/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Below form sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 4/1) 12 days ago, going off too hard. Latest effort best excused and had been in good order previously. Went close over C&D two starts ago and could be a contender now back down in trip.
2	2 (2) (7/2 +13%) Della Mare		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(2) Della Mare 7/2, 12/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Not seen to best effect last time and she's down in grade, so worthy of interest. Running well in defeat last spring and she may have needed last month's return to action.
9	9 (9) (7/1 -17%) Miss Calculation		7 7/1(-17%)																															(9) Miss Calculation 7/1, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 19 days ago. Can't be discounted. Encouraging fourth off this reduced mark over C&D three weeks ago; could be involved.
8	8 (8) (9/2 +25%) Higher Law		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(8) Higher Law 9/2, Eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (2/1) 19 days ago. Reportedly struck into last time and blinkers applied now, so not taken lightly. Went close at Southwell two starts ago and had an excuse when midfield here last time.
1	1 (1) (10/1 -11%) Beauzon		10 10/1(-11%)																															(1) Beauzon 10/1, C&D winner. 25/1, 5 lengths ninth of 11 to White Mist in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Has a bit to prove. C&D winner who has tumbled down the weights, but for good reason.
12	12 (12) (11/1 +21%) Tommytwohoots		11 11/1(+21%)																															(12) Tommytwohoots 11/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 25/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 23 days ago. Visor back on. Needs to bounce back. Won over C&D in November but beaten about 5l the next twice.
6	6 (6) (20/1 -300%) May Remain		20 20/1(-300%)																															(6) May Remain 20/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 17/2) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Should strip fitter for latest effort, so every chance he'll be back on his game. Won two in a row here last spring and could improve for last month's comeback run.
7	7 (7) (28/1 -12%) Stryder		28 28/1(-12%)																															(7) Stryder 28/1, Last of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 16/1) 18 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Finished last at Kempton last month after a wind op and others are preferred.
10	10 (10) (33/1 -136%) Alainn Tu		33 33/1(-136%)																															(10) Alainn Tu 33/1, C&D winner. Last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 28/1) 31 days ago. Others make more appeal. Inconsistent filly with modest strike-rate, but sole win came over C&D off 1lb lower.
4	4 (4) (40/1 -60%) Queens Award		40 40/1(-60%)																															(4) Queens Award 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, first run since leaving Ed Walker when seventh of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Something to find on form. Lightly raced 4yo; soundly beaten on stable debut and others are more compelling.
3	3 (3) (100/1 -300%) Onthebunny		100 100/1(-300%)																															(3) Onthebunny 100/1, 80/1, first run since leaving Mick Channon when last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 22 days ago, going off too hard. Up in trip. Tailed off at Newcastle last month when back from long absence and probably best watched.

LTO Selection:

DELLA MARE didn't get the clearest of runs on her return from a 199-day break over C&D last month, and she is better judged on the form of her penultimate second here last May. The booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye and she is narrowly preferred to White Mist (first) and Sisters In The Sky (second), who were separated by just half a length over C&D recently.

WHITE MIST clicked in a first-time visor over C&D last time, beating Sisters In The Sky (who has run since), and that pair make most appeal here. Della Mare is another one to consider dropping in grade.

Hollie Doyle's mount DELLA MARE is handicapped to have a big say on last spring's form and she can improve for last month's comeback.

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.
