Class & Speed Card

Meadram occupied the runner-up berth at Chelmsford on his latest outing and should remain competitive off only a 2lb higher rating. However, the vote goes to ROLYPOLYMOLY, who took the silver medal home over C&D on his penultimate start and is now 2lb lower. A repeat of that effort might be good enough, while Ellexis is another to note after her second at Wolverhampton.

MEADRAM has been in fine form at a lower level in recent months, reeled in late on over this trip at Chelmsford 6 weeks ago. He can prove his revised mark is a workable one, with Con Te Partiro and Obsidian Knight a couple of likely threats. Annexation, on debut for Tony Carroll, and Foreseen are a couple of others to monitor.

Con Te Partiro is feared despite a wide stall but OBSIDIAN KNIGHT can enhance his Lingfield record back down in class.
Class & Speed Card

Naughty Eyes failed to justify favouritism when finishing third over 5f at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day, but this step up in trip could unlock improvement. However, ENCHANTED WAY gets the nod. Archie Watson's three-year-old improved on her debut fourth to fill the runner-up spot at Epsom in July and, provided she is ready to go on her return, she may prove hard to beat. Mister Mcgregor is another to consider.

Having overcome greenness to make a winning debut at Wolverhampton in November, NAUGHTY EYES was never in the same rhythm down at the minimum trip when third back at that venue 4 weeks ago. She's worth another chance now her stamina is tested further. Enchanted Way and Mister Mcgregor are others fancied to feature.

She's been absent since July but this looks a good opportunity for ENCHANTED WAY to confirm the promise of her Epsom second.
Class & Speed Card

A 6lb rise in the ratings for SKYHILL's 14-length romp at Kelso 24 days ago looks on the lenient side and this is a suitable opportunity for him to complete a brace. Champagnesuperover arrives on the back of a fair third over an inadequate 2m4f at Leicester and this trip should see the C&D winner in a better light. Olly Murphy's gelding is feared most, ahead of Siberian Star.

C&D winner CHAMPAGNESUPEROVER didn't shape at all badly with a view to stepping back up to this trip when third at Leicester, and Olly Murphy's 10-y-o is selected to strike having fallen to a career-low mark. Skyhill benefited from positive tactics when winning on return at Kelso and he's feared, as is Siberian Star back over larger obstacles.

His longer-term record may not be that great but SKYHILL was clearly on very good terms with himself at Kelso 24 days ago.
Class & Speed Card

MERRIMACK was just touched off by a neck into second in this grade at Chelmsford six days ago and goes off an unchanged mark. Stuart Williams' four-year-old might only need to reproduce that level of form in order to go one better. Harry Brown performed well in a stronger contest over track and trip on Saturday and sports a first-time tongue-tie, which could eke out more. The Defiant completes the shortlist.

ROSENPUR got off the mark in straightforward fashion in a small-field novice at Wolverhampton 9 days ago and, unexposed as a sprinter, he's a definite player again under a penalty returned to handicap company. Merrimack rates the lead threat in a refitted visor. Thismydream and Harry Brown also make each-way appeal.

There were green shoots of recovery from HARRY BROWN here on Saturday and he can exploit his lowly mark now he's tried in a tongue-tie.
Class & Speed Card

Having justified cramped odds on his hurdles bow at Thurles in November, JARRIVE DE MEE makes plenty of appeal on his follow-up bid. Willie Mullins' gelding had previously scored over 3m between the flags, so this distance is unlikely to prevent another bold display. The progressive Gentleman Bill had little difficulty when scoring on his handicap debut at Doncaster last month and the seven-year-old isn't taken lightly, despite having to concede 5lb to the selection. The Clonmel Kid may fare best of the remainder.

Willie Mullins' JARRIVE DE MEE created an excellent impression when making a winning hurdles debut at Thurles and is impossible to side against with considerably more to come in all likelihood. Gentleman Bill also has better days ahead of him and appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of C&D third Tyson Magoo and newcomer The Clonmel Kid.

Willie Mullins sends his first runner to Catterick and JARRIVE DE MEE earns the vote, having impressed at Thurles in November.
Class & Speed Card

FREAK ENCOUNTER was said to have benefitted from the application of first-time blinkers (retained) when on target over C&D earlier this month and, should they have a similar effect in this race, a 6lb penalty may not inconvenience him. Rumseg was supported ahead of his handicap debut last time out but he failed to deliver. Eased 2lb and with blinkers applied for the first time, it could be a different story, while Majestic Heights is another to consider.

SPECIFIED didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eighth at Chelmsford last time out and can capitalise on a lenient mark now to get off the mark. Majestic Heights is feared most on the back of a good third in the same race, with C&D winner Freak Encounter, Made The Cut and Rumseg also in the mix.

A fiendish puzzle. MADE THE CUT stayed on from a poor position at Chelmsford and can reverse those placings with Majestic Heights.
Class & Speed Card

Batman For Ever was a respectable third at Uttoxeter in June and a similar performance on his reappearance should see him in the thick of the action. However, HOBB'S DELIGHT is a more solid proposition after last month's fourth at Wincanton and a 2lb drop in the ratings may prove fruitful for Neil Mulholland's inmate. Fellow in-form rival Super Citizen should also make his presence felt.

HOBB'S DELIGHT showed he's got a race of this nature within reach when just touched off at Plumpton 3 starts ago and, arriving having performed creditably when fourth at Wincanton 5 weeks ago, he rates one of the likelier types with cheekpieces fitted for the first time. Tedwin Hills if bouncing back and Super Citizen are others to consider, with Aazza another to note on her second stint chasing.

The top two options in what looks a weak race are probably SUPER CITIZEN and Hobb's Delight.
Class & Speed Card

Charlatan cruised to the front at Southwell on Friday but found little off the bridle, ultimately finishing second when attempting to follow up on his recent success at the same venue. The gelding was said to have ran flat having raced three days prior so it must be of some concern that he turns out quickly once more, and it is KONDRATIEV WAVE that gets the nod. Tony Carroll's eight-year-old kept on for second over 7f last time but with a return to the mile likely to suit, he can go one place better. Overnight Oats is another to consider.

CHARLATAN rates the pick of the weights under a 5 lb penalty for his cosy Southwell victory so looks the way to go at the chief expense of in-form duo Overnight Oats and Kondratiev Wave, who can chase home David Simcock's 5-y-o in that order.

There are several possibles but DELTA LEGEND may benefit from the return to a mile and he gets the tentative vote.
Class & Speed Card

Achnamara scored readily over a similar trip at Sedgefield on Boxing Day but a 13lb higher mark looks harsh on the face value of what he actually achieved. With that in mind, fellow last-time-out winner KOMEDY KICKS shades the vote after winning a deeper race at Kelso most recently. A 5lb higher mark looks manageable for the Dan Skelton-trained mare, who may find further improvement over this longer trip. Diamond Koda and My Friend Yeats are other solid each-way contenders.

KOMEDY KICKS confirmed the promise of her stable debut with a last-to-first success at Kelso just over 3 weeks ago and a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up with further progress in the offing. Diamond Koda is proving consistent and should give another good account off top weight back in a handicap, with Kazontherazz and Final Edgar others to note.

There are possibilities almost throughout this line-up but KOMEDY KICKS may well have had more in the tank when she won last time.
Class & Speed Card

LEQUINTO found himself too far back at Wolverhampton before being denied a clear run recently, but his case is as strong as any here. Drawn low and with Jack Doughty taking off a handy 3lb once again, he can make amends. Master Dandy didn't see out 7f at Chelmsford when last seen in September but a drop in trip will suit, and Hierarchy is another that could go well.

LEQUINTO signalled he is ready to regain the winning thread when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time so gets the vote ahead of three-time C&D scorer Tyger Bay. In-form pair Whenthedealinsdone and Hierarchy both need factoring in too.

With no obvious pace on show, this looks a race to treat with a degree of caution. TYGER BAY is tentatively preferred to Lequinto.
Class & Speed Card

GOODTIMES BADTIMES returned from a break with a game second-placed finish at Sedgefield in October and can go one better. Running off 1lb below his last winning mark (over hurdles), the enthusiastic 10-year-old has a live chance of coping with top-weight in this modest event. I'm Too Tired also has a proven liking for Sedgefield and is feared most nudged up 3lb after winning over the extended 2m there on Boxing Day. Just Gino and Mr Mahler complete the shortlist.

MR MAHLER made a promising start over fences when a staying-on fourth here last time out and can build on it to gain a breakthrough victory now his stamina is unlocked more. I'm Too Tired is feared most on the back of his Sedgefield success ahead of in-form pair Get A Superstar and Just Gino.

The 5yo I'M TOO TIRED (nap) won at Sedgefield last month on his second chase start and is open to further improvement in this sphere.
Class & Speed Card

Royal Observatory could have a big say but he is far from bombproof and another slow start could be costly on this notoriously fast track. With that in mind, three-time C&D winner SUNSET IN PARIS looks worth chancing now tried in a first-time tongue-tie. Danehill Star is another must for consideration, having had Royal Observatory back in third when scoring over track and trip off 2lb lower 13 days ago.

A few with chances but ROYAL OBSERVATORY is knocking on the door and weighted to resume winning ways on the back of his recent C&D third when not seen to ideal effect. Recent Kempton scorer Villalobos rates a big threat though, with C&D victor Danehill Star also well in the mix.

Neither Laurentia nor MR TRICK are wholly reliable but a well-run race could see them leave their recent efforts behind them.
Class & Speed Card

BATHGATE was denied by four lengths into second in a stronger event at Doncaster last month and is only 2lb higher. Philip Kirby's five-year-old will appreciate this drop in grade and it would be no surprise to see him make it two wins from his last three starts. Sea Legend produced a better effort to finish second at Musselburgh in November and could get involved. Of the remainder, Far Away West makes the most appeal.

FAR AWAY WEST produced 2 of her better efforts when making the frame in handicaps in September/October, so she looks an interesting contender on her first outing since joining Dan Skelton. She can leave behind her latest run as she starts off for her leading yard, with the in-form Bathgate next on the list, ahead of Sea Legend.

The in-form BATHGATE is taken to add to his win at Sedgefield in November. Far Away West is feared most on her debut for Dan Skelton
Class & Speed Card

DUBAI HARBOUR returned from a 50-day break to score in game manner over C&D last month and, although defeated off this revised mark twice in the intervening period, the five-year-old can be given another chance. With many of the rest struggling for form, the lightly-weighted Rivas Rob Roy and course winner We'renotreallyhere could pose the biggest threats to the selection.

A few with chances but C&D scorer DUBAI HARBOUR comes here at the top of his game so is fancied to resume winning ways. Foinix didn't enjoy the rub of the green when seventh at Chelmsford last time so this course scorer rates the chief threat ahead of handily-weighted We'renotreallyhere and Sir Laurence Graff.

Sir Laurence Graff can go well but DUBAI HARBOUR (nap) is on the up this winter and he looks the safest proposition.
Class & Speed Card

TILEHURST made a strong impression when bolting up on his debut at Market Rasen in October and has since switched to the Neil Mulholland yard. With any amount of improvement to come, he can defy his 7lb penalty. Dilly's Gunner shaped with lots of promise when finishing second on her debut at Wetherby last month and should go well, while any market confidence behind newcomer Connect The Dots would be interesting.

DILLY'S GUNNER hails from a yard whose newcomers normally come on plenty for their initial experience so, having shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up at Wetherby on debut, she gets the vote to go one better at the expense of Merely A Detail, who caused a shock when scoring on debut but found listed company all too much at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. Stable-switcher Tilehurst and Regal River can both get involved, too.

Wetherby second DILLY'S GUNNER might upstage the penalised winners but there is also a batch of interesting newcomers to take heed of.
Class & Speed Card

SOUND JANET kept on well over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton on her racecourse bow last month, and the daughter of Nathaniel is expected to score now upped in trip. The hood is a slight concern, though, and Tribal Act might be the one to exploit any chinks in her armour. Fifth having been slowly away over C&D on his debut, the gelded son of Sea The Stars should be more streetwise. Market support for newcomer Staffordshire should be noted.

SOUND JANET made a good start behind a promising winner at Wolverhampton last month and could be the way to go with improvement on the way. Tribal Act likewise shaped really well first time up here 5 weeks ago and will progress. Newcomer Staffordshire is interesting.

The main form contenders are SOUND JANET and Tribal Act, while newcomer Staffordshire is interesting.
Class & Speed Card

The money has been down for KAARANAH on his last two starts and, although the seven-year-old has yet to reward his supporters, this might be the time to catch him. John Butler's gelding has been weak in the finish over 1m2f and the previous C&D winner looks set to relish a drop to the mile. Beauty Generation, who was narrowly denied over track and trip a fortnight ago, is perhaps the main threat, ahead of Fihrayn and Chourmo.

BEAUTY GENERATION confirmed he's down to a good mark when going down narrowly in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. He's fancied to make the breakthrough in handicaps, possibly at the chief expense of Classic Speed and Enpassant. Kaaranah is another to note, particularly if strong in the betting.

Off a workable mark in the retained cheekpieces, BEAUTY GENERATION can build on his latest effort. Classic Speed is second pick.
Class & Speed Card

Chemical sets the standard with an official rating of 78, but he's had chances and hopes appear to be pinned on the first-time visor having a positive effect. Night Of Thunder colt Zeus Olympios makes obvious appeal in a race of this nature, but fellow newcomer ANCIENT POWER gets the nod. The 28,000gns purchase looks set to relish this initial test of stamina and it would come as no surprise were he up to the task.

This could go to a newcomer, with ZEUS OLYMPIOS preferred to Ancient Power before market clues. Excuses were hard to come by for Chemical's short-priced defeat at Wolverhampton but he did run well twice in strong C&D events last summer and might not be far away back here.

The form choice is CHEMICAL, while Zeus Olympios looks the pick of the newcomers. Check the betting for further guidance.
Class & Speed Card

NEXT TRICK is competitively weighted in comparison to what she achieved during her time in Ireland and, having posted an encouraging effort on her debut run for Archie Watson when third over 1m here last week, the daughter of Bated Breath makes considerable appeal dropping back a furlong with new headgear tried. Mammy, a winner over 7f off 2lb lower at Chelmsford 13 days ago, and Capuchinero rate the pick of the remainder.

MAMMY made a winning return to action after 4 months off at Chelmsford just under a fortnight ago and, nudged up just 2 lb, Michael Bell's filly is fancied to follow up at the expense of Next Trick, who made a satisfactory start for this yard when third over 1m here last week and has first-time cheekpieces applied. Forever Proud has had a hectic 5 weeks, but she can edge out Midsummer Music for minor honours.

Back down in distance with cheekpieces fitted, NEXT TRICK could well build on her reappearance effort and get off the mark.
Class & Speed Card

MISTY SKY has been running consistently well of late and tops the shortlist in an open event following her success over 7f at Southwell earlier in the month. That said, Art Market was second that day and could get closer now that first-time cheekpieces are added. All of the remainder have claims, but the unexposed Kiniro is the pick of them.

KINIRO showed much improved form to edge out the heavy favourite a touch cosily at Lingfield recently and is taken to follow up on handicap debut with further progress on the cards. Master Technician is a likeable and consistent sort who can give him most to think about.

Handicap debutant KINIRO is taken to show further progress and follow up his Lingfield win. Master Technician is second pick.
Class & Speed Card

Having proved a decisive winner at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day, PARADIAS could be set to follow up. A 4lb higher rating for Alan King's inmate doesn't look insurmountable and he's fancied to repel the hat-trick seeking The Glen Rovers. The latter justified favouritism on his last two appearances at this venue but, while he isn't taken lightly, being 2lb out of the handicap could prove costly. Andaleep and Artistic Star are worth a second look as well.

THE GLEN ROVERS went the right way switched to all-weather last year, gaining a third course victory with a comfortable success in December, and he can continue his progression to add to his tally. Paradias also ended 2024 in good form and is respected with more still to offer on artificial surfaces, while Andaleep is another who enters calculations.

Being 2lb out of the weights isn't ideal but THE GLEN ROVERS is a very persuasive contender in all other respects.
Class & Speed Card

COMTE DE LOIR offered plenty of encouragement when a close-up second on his handicap bow at Southwell eight days ago. The four-year-old ticks plenty of the right boxes on this quick turnaround and, off an unchanged mark, compensation could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Doublethetrouble, who arrives on the back of a fair fourth on his reappearance at Lingfield, while dual C&D winner Zivaniya warrants respect returning to this venue.

COMTE DE LOIR shaped well amidst inexperience when finishing an excellent second from an unpromising position on handicap debut at Southwell last week and, with further progress anticipated, he's very much the one to beat here. Doublethetrouble, Zivaniya and Percy Jones can do battle for minor honours in the finale.

Unexposed COMTE DE LOIR (nap) is taken to build on his Southwell effort and go one better. Doublethetrouble is second choice.

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.
