1	4 1st (4) (10/3 +17%) Hara Kiri		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(4) Hara Kiri 10/3, Placed all 3 starts in bumpers (first 2 when in the care of Willie Mullins) and signs of promise in this sphere for Alex Hales during 2021/22 campaign. Promising handicap/stable debut third of 12 at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) when returning from a lengthy absence and he's a live contender. Promising third at Leicester on handicap debut when back from absence; could build on it.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/8 -15%) Good Lord		1.375 11/8(-15%)																															(5) Good Lord 11/8, Winner on the Flat in Germany and, following a wind op and with a first-time togue strap enlisted, he duly left his qualifying runs in this sphere well behind when dotting up on handicap debut at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) last week. Obvious claims under a penalty. Easy win on recent handicap debut at Plumpton and could be tough to beat under a penalty.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/1 +60%) Birdhouse		10 10/1(+60%)																															(8) Birdhouse 10/1, Made second bumper start a winning one at Fakenham last February but lacks the physique and pedigree for jumping and has shown little in this sphere to date. Now tried in cheekpieces. Has struggled on her four hurdle runs but perhaps cheekpieces will help this bumper winner.
4	6 4th (6) (22/1 -120%) Hugueneau		22 22/1(-120%)																															(6) Hugueneau 22/1, Point winner who has yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but hasn't been with present yard long and latest effort when sporting first-time cheekpieces (retained here) at Doncaster can be overlooked (saddle slipped in early stages). Still, improvement is required. Fair fourth on his handicap and stable debut over C&D and has had excuses the next twice.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/2 +45%) Greatness Awaits		5.5 11/2(+45%)																															(1) Greatness Awaits 11/2, Fair on Flat at up to 1½m and ran right up to best in this sphere when second over this C&D last summer. However, he wasn't in the same back from a 5-month break at Southwell and while he's entitled to come on for that, others may be better treated. Cheekpieces refitted. Good second here last August and could build on last month's return to action at Southwell.
6th	7 6th (7) (8/1 +11%) Ez Tiger		8 8/1(+11%)																															(7) Ez Tiger 8/1, Benefited from chasing a strong pace when opening hurdles account at Southwel (15.8f, good to soft) last summer. Ground would've been plenty soft enough for him back from a break over the same C&D last month and not without each-way hope off 1 lb lower here. Running consistently well in first half of season and may be able to build on latest run.
7th	10 7th (10) (100/1 -203%) Parish Star		100 100/1(-203%)																															(10) Parish Star 100/1, Modest form on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger and has made little impact in her 3 completed starts over hurdles. 9 lb 'wrong' at the weights for this handicap debut. Trainer does well with 4yos in handicaps but this filly has shown little over hurdles.
8th	3 8th (3) (10/1 +17%) Chicago Gal		10 10/1(+17%)																															(3) Chicago Gal 10/1, Fair on the Flat and showed an aptitude for hurdling on 2 of her 3 starts in juvenile events last winter. Shaped pretty well on return/handicap debut at Musselburgh in December but failed to build on that next time and, overall, her record stands at 0-16. Hasn't run badly in first two handicap hurdles but needs something extra to win today.
9th	11 9th (11) (100/1 +0%) Fast Deal		100 100/1(+0%)																															(11) Fast Deal 100/1, Poor maiden who looks set for another struggle. Longstanding maiden who is 10lb out of the handicap; hard to fancy.
10th	9 10th (9) (25/1 -25%) Northern Rose		25 25/1(-25%)																															(9) Northern Rose 25/1, Has merely hinted at ability in various company so far and sizeable step forward needed now that he's pitched into a handicap. 4yo who makes her handicap hurdle debut but improvement is required.

A wind operation and the step into handicap company proved the making of GOOD LORD at Plumpton last week, with the German import sauntering to success. Billy Aprahamian is wise to get him out before the assessor can take revenge and he can go in again. Hara Kiri made a really pleasing return from the sidelines when third on his own handicap bow at Leicester and looks a lively threat. Not much separated Ez Tiger and Greatness Awaits when fourth and fifth at Southwell, in a race where Jumping Jupiter didn't show his true colours.

It's hard to escape the claims of GOOD LORD, who looked a different proposition following a break/wind op when bolting up on his handicap bow at Plumpton and he is a step ahead of the assessor under a penalty here. He won't have things all his own way, though, if Hara Kiri is able to build on his encouraging comeback run at Leicester. Ez Tiger and Jumping Jupiter are viable each-way options.

This revolves around the penalised GOOD LORD (nap), who was an easy winner on last week's handicap debut at Plumpton.

1	1 1st (1) (13/2 -95%) Rewired		6.5 13/2(-95%)																															(1) Rewired 13/2, Landed a pair of 2m handicaps at Huntingdon last season and raised his game when notching a fourth hurdles success at Doncaster on return in December. 5 lb rise asks a question but he's a likeable type and another bold show is anticipated. Did well last term and resumed winning ways at Doncaster (2m) in late December on return.
2	2 2nd (2) (13/8 +64%) Bold Reaction		1.625 13/8(+64%)																															(2) Bold Reaction 13/8, Fairly useful bumper winner who has finished second on 2 of his 3 starts since undergoing a wind op. Chased home Wholeofthemoon in a 19.4f Doncaster handicap last time and merits respect here on the back of that effort, albeit he has a bit to find with Rewired on a line through Wholeofthemoon. 2nd at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in just his second handicap, despite racing freely.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/1 +31%) Winterwatch		11 11/1(+31%)																															(7) Winterwatch 11/1, Three-time winner on the Flat but below par back on the level last year and similar story returned to hurdles the last twice. Others preferred. Fairly useful Flat winner but not so good as a seven-race maiden (three 2nds) over hurdles.
4	5 4th (5) (9/2 +25%) Inoui Machin		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(5) Inoui Machin 9/2, Winner of 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers and has finished in the money in a trio of maiden/novice hurdles at up to 19.4f at Doncaster. Beaten by a potentially pretty useful one last time and could be a factor now pitched into a handicap in first-time cheekpieces. Placed at Doncaster all three hurdle starts; blinkered last two and now tries cheekpieces.
5th	9 5th (9) (125/1 -525%) Greystoke		125 125/1(-525%)																															(9) Greystoke 125/1, Opened hurdles account at Newton Abbot in May 2022 and hit the target on the Flat last spring. However, well held latest start on the level during the summer and opposable back from a break for new connections. 1-6 hurdling (last hurdle race July 2022); well beaten last two Flat runs; left Alan King.
6th	3 6th (3) (6/1 -20%) Beny Nahar Road		6 6/1(-20%)																															(3) Beny Nahar Road 6/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat for Richard Hughes and runner-up on first 2 starts over hurdles. Too free when fifth in a 14-runner novice here (good to soft) last time but will be a serious player if settling better on this handicap bow with headgear added. Could do with settling a lot better (underperformed over C&D latest) and aids are enlisted.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -285%) Three Cliffs Bay		25 25/1(-285%)																															(4) Three Cliffs Bay 25/1, Left hurdles debut behind when winning a 2m Ffos Las novice (heavy) in November. Performed to a similar level when third to a useful type in The Jukebox Man upped to 2½m at the same course since, and he's open to improvement now switched to handicap company. 25-1 win at Ffos Las (2m) and creditable third in another heavy-ground novice there (2m4f).
8th	6 8th (6) (14/1 +0%) Chandlers Bay		14 14/1(+0%)																															(6) Chandlers Bay 14/1, Placed in 2m events at Ffos Las and Plumpton on first 2 completed starts over hurdles last winter. Struggled on return/handicap bow at Lingfield in December and while he should be sharper now, improvement is certainly needed. Shaped well early last year; weak 11-1, soundly beaten on handicap debut in December.
8	8 |PU| (8) (7/1 -75%) Gifted Angel		7 7/1(-75%)																															(8) Gifted Angel 7/1, Unable to win on the Flat but been a different story over hurdles, scoring for third time in this sphere at Kempton (2m, good) in October. By no means disgraced in a heavy-ground Cheltenham Grade 2 last time and, armed with his healthy 4-y-o allowance, he's a big player back in handicap company. Successful juvenile; return to a sharper test today should suit and he needs a second look.

Rewired gets on well with Luke Scott and made a triumphant return to the fray under the claimer at Doncaster. He has a 5lb higher figure to contend with and crosses swords with an unexposed opponent in the shape of INOUI MACHIN, who bumped into a smart novice, also at Doncaster, last time and now goes handicapping off an interesting mark. Fellow handicap newcomer Beny Nahar Road could also be well treated, while the horse who beat Bold Reaction on his reappearance was then put in his place by Rewired.

This looks competitive for the grade and BENY NAHAR ROAD tops a shortlist comprising six of the nine due to go to post. He hasn't helped himself by pulling hard on each of his three starts over hurdles but the increased tempo he'll experience now handicapping, together with the addition of a hood/tongue strap, could make all the difference. Gifted Angel is an obvious threat given his 4-y-o allowance, while Inoui Machin and Three Cliffs Bay are, like the selection, interesting handicap debutants.

Rewired looks reliable and can put up another bold show but slight preference is for BOLD REACTION who latest form reads well.

1	4 1st (4) (11/5 +45%) Hashtag Boum		2.2 11/5(+45%)																															(4) Hashtag Boum 11/5, Irish point winner who opened her Rules account at Kelso last April. Comes here on the back of a good second in 22f handicap there 39 days ago so he's very much one to consider eased 1 lb. In good form the last twice and today's extra yardage could suit this lightly raced mare.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 -50%) Sporty Jim		12 12/1(-50%)																															(3) Sporty Jim 12/1, Scored at Perth in April, 2022. Only twice raced since and pulled up in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, heavy) 38 days ago. Others appeal more. Below best since returning from a long absence but return to better ground could be a plus.
3	7 3rd (7) (15/8 +6%) Top Cloud		1.875 15/8(+6%)																															(7) Top Cloud 15/8, Much improved for new yard after wind surgery, making it 4 wins in 5 starts at Ascot (3m) last month. Raised another 6 lb but form been franked so there could easily be more to come. Player. Four wins from five starts for this yard, the wins coming on good or good to firm.
4	6 4th (6) (25/1 -79%) Breaking Waves		25 25/1(-79%)																															(6) Breaking Waves 25/1, Untrustworthy individual for Harry Whittington and hasn't made any sort of impact in a pair of starts since joining current yard. First-time visor replaces blinkers. Well handicapped on late-2022 form but has struggled on both outings this season.
5th	1 5th (1) (17/2 -31%) Royal Pretender		8.5 17/2(-31%)																															(1) Royal Pretender 17/2, Relatively unexposed over staying trips and returned with good second at Exeter only to be pulled up at Wincanton last time. Needs to get back on track. Uncharacteristic flop at Wincanton in December but good 2nd previously; could bounce back.
5	5 |PU| (5) (9/1 +25%) South Terrace		9 9/1(+25%)																															(5) South Terrace 9/1, Landed a 23.3f Uttoxeter handicap hurdle in July 2021 but lightly raced since, remote second of five at Warwick on his chasing bow in November. Needs to back it up returned to this sphere. Below best in autumn 2022 and off since; however, well treated on old form; check betting.
2	2 |PU| (2) (11/2 -83%) Blue Bikini		5.5 11/2(-83%)																															(2) Blue Bikini 11/2, 6/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap hurdle at Catterick (25.3f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Up 4 lb but this course winner had something to spare there so can go well again. In-and-out profile but four wins from last six starts and has to be respected.

BLUE BIKINI got back on track with an emphatic victory at Catterick in December, taking her record over hurdles to five wins from 10. A subsequent 4lb rise does not look beyond Fergal O'Brien's mare and she gets the nod. Top Cloud goes in search of his hat-trick following wins at Taunton and Ascot. He merits the utmost respect, as does Hashtag Boum, who should not be far away having occupied the runner-up spot on her last two starts.

TOP CLOUD has thrived under the tutelage of Robbie Llewellyn so is fancied to bag a fifth success of the season with the form of his recent Ascot victory having been franked. Hashtag Boum is weighted to have a say and next on the list- with course scorer Blue Bikini also in the picture.

Preference is for HASHTAG BOUM, who is compiling a solid record in handicaps and could be suited by today's extra yardage.

1	5 1st (5) (13/8 +46%) Merry Monty		1.625 13/8(+46%)																															(5) Merry Monty 13/8, Series of respectable efforts in handicap hurdles was followed by a solid chase debut second to Bolsover Bill (winner again since) at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) on New Year's Day. 3 lb rise for that effort fair enough and he's open to improvement in this sphere. Finished well for second on chasing debut but today's much faster ground may not be ideal.
2	11 2nd (11) (33/1 +34%) Sevenofus		33 33/1(+34%)																															(11) Sevenofus 33/1, Point winner who was placed in a series of handicap hurdles at around 2½m in 2022. However, she was never in the hunt following 15 months off here in January and looks set for another struggle now switched to fences. Soundly beaten over hurdles on stable debut; has quite a bit to prove on chasing debut.
3	9 3rd (9) (25/1 -150%) Tonto Foley		25 25/1(-150%)																															(9) Tonto Foley 25/1, Equipped with a first-time tongue strap when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good) last June. However, he was pulled up at Uttoxeter the following month and opposable on this return/chase debut. Hurdle winner last June; open to more improvement over fences but has fitness to prove.
4	8 4th (8) (9/1 +36%) Poet's Reflection		9 9/1(+36%)																															(8) Poet's Reflection 9/1, Sole success from 22 starts overall came in a handicap hurdle here back in March 2021. However, she was placed twice off higher marks than this over fences last spring and is entitled to come on for her reappearance spin at Wincanton in December. Safely held over hurdles, after a break, but made good start to chase career last spring.
5th	7 5th (7) (20/1 -25%) Blue Ribbon		20 20/1(-25%)																															(7) Blue Ribbon 20/1, Fair 2m hurdles winner for Dr Richard Newland in 2021 but largely struggled in half-a-dozen appearances over fences for present connections. Pulled up last month, after a break, but today's faster ground ought to be more suitable.
6th	10 6th (10) (150/1 -127%) Invincible Wish		150 150/1(-127%)																															(10) Invincible Wish 150/1, Veteran who was tailed off when returning from an 18-month absence at Leicester. Readily passed over. Tailed off over hurdles last month, after a long absence; current ability hard to gauge.
7th	13 7th (13) (12/1 +64%) Noah's Light		12 12/1(+64%)																															(13) Noah's Light 12/1, Hasn't shown much in 7 runs in this sphere and best watched from 5 lb out of the handicap. Hurdle winner in Ireland in November 2021 but very disappointing for this stable since.
8th	4 8th (4) (13/2 -63%) Herecomeshogan		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(4) Herecomeshogan 13/2, Dual hurdles winner who, equipped with a first-time visor, stepped up on previous efforts in this sphere when finding just one too good in a 13-runner Hereford handicap (2m, good to soft). Definite chance off the same mark here, provided he's able to back that up. Arrested decline with good run in defeat at Hereford last month; one to consider.
9th	12 9th (12) (80/1 -21%) Broadoak		80 80/1(-21%)																															(12) Broadoak 80/1, Pulled up on each of his last 4 outings and can only be watched at present. Pulled up in four consecutive handicap chases since last spring and now 0-12 overall.
2	2 |F| (2) (5/1 -82%) Our Nel		5 5/1(-82%)																															(2) Our Nel 5/1, Made the frame all 3 starts over hurdles and positive start in this sphere when third in a 7-runner Fakenham handicap (21.2f, heavy) in December. 1 lb lower now and, moreover, she will benefit from this drop back in trip. One to consider. Low-mileage mare; third behind two next-time-out winners on chasing debut; good chance.
10th	6 10th (6) (17/2 -42%) Howyouplaythegame		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(6) Howyouplaythegame 17/2, Looked limited over hurdles but has fared better since switched to the larger obstacles, posting his best effort yet when a close third at Doncaster on penultimate start. Not in the same form at Leicester since but each-way claims in a first-time tongue strap here. Good third on seasonal debut and subsequent lesser effort on heavy ground is forgivable.
14	14 |PU| (14) (8/1 +60%) Etincelle Artiste		8 8/1(+60%)																															(14) Etincelle Artiste 8/1, Runner-up sole start in points but just poor form under Rules and work to do from out of the handicap. 0-8 under rules but has each-way claims if judged on last May's Worcester third.
3	3 |PU| (3) (50/1 +0%) No Mean Feat		50 50/1(+0%)																															(3) No Mean Feat 50/1, Pulled up sole start in points and just poor form to over hurdles. Big step forward needed now switched to fences. A well-beaten outsider in all three handicap hurdles; makes chasing debut today.

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

Preference is for MERRY MONTY, who shaped with significant promise on last month's fencing bow. That form has since been franked, with the winner going on to record a comfortable success next time out, so Chris Down's charge looks to hold every chance of going one better. Our Nel appeals as a likely candidate having finished a creditable third at Fakenham in December. Howyouplaythegame has shown signs of ability over the larger obstacles and the application of a first-time tongue-tie could spark some improvement.

MERRY MONTY pulled clear of the rest when runner-up on his debut over fences at Exeter and, with the winner going in again since, that form looks decent. Chris Down's charge may well go one better here if, as expected, he is able to build on that. Herecomeshogan is by no means certain to reproduce the form of his latest Hereford effort but he'll certainly be a threat if able to do so, while Our Nel is third choice ahead of Howyouplaythegame and Trapista.

The pick is lightly raced mare OUR NEL, who drops back in trip after finishing third behind two subsequent winners on her chase debut.

1	8 1st (8) (9/2 +0%) Concetto		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(8) Concetto 9/2, Proved a totally different proposition sent chasing last season, scoring on handicap debut at Huntingdon before following up at Musselburgh. Form has dipped since, however, tried in headgear/tongue strap this term. Fair sixth in Lincolnshire National here last time and that form is working out well.
2	10 2nd (10) (7/2 +36%) Mixedwave		3.5 7/2(+36%)																															(10) Mixedwave 7/2, Scored at Market Rasen (disqualified for rider's overuse of whip) before posting a good second of 5 in handicap chase there (23.9f, heavy) next time. Proved he's still getting better when resuming winning ways at Huntingdon last month and must enter calculations. Won at Huntingdon last month and this progressive 7yo also likes this C&D; key player.
3	6 3rd (6) (16/5 +51%) Inflexible		3.2 16/5(+51%)																															(6) Inflexible 16/5, Jumped much better than previously over fences and duly showed much-improved form in this sphere when runner-up at Hereford last month. Could have more to come still so looks a big player. Runner-up at Hereford last month on third chase start and open to further improvement.
4	7 4th (7) (14/1 -27%) Jar Du Desert		14 14/1(-27%)																															(7) Jar Du Desert 14/1, Showed fairly useful form over hurdles for Tom George prior to making a successful chasing debut in a 4-y-o event at Auteuil for N. George & A. Zetterholm in May. However, has failed to see his race out in couple of starts over hurdles/fences for present yard. Good bit to prove at present. Won in good style on chase debut in France last May, but below that level in Britain since.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/1 -83%) Geryville		11 11/1(-83%)																															(3) Geryville 11/1, Winless last season but he kept his form well and resumed with a solid fourth in handicap chase at Sedgefield (29f) in October. Poor effort here on Boxing Day, however, and needs to bounce back. Pulled up here last time but second in this last year and he's a contender if back on song.
6th	5 6th (5) (4/1 +27%) Scene One		4 4/1(+27%)																															(5) Scene One 4/1, Hurdles winner last term and, following a 7-month break, he made a successful start over fences at Fakenham (21.2f, soft) in November. Quickly resumed winning ways fitted with this headgear here 4 weeks ago and player if seeing out this longer trip. Two wins from his three chase starts; progressive and every chance he'll stay this far.
7th	4 7th (4) (14/1 -155%) Easy Bucks		14 14/1(-155%)																															(4) Easy Bucks 14/1, Better than ever returning from 15 months off when making a winning debut for John Joseph Hanlon at Punchestown 23 days ago, forging clear. Player if this doesn't come too soon back with former yard. Won last month on sole outing for Shark Hanlon; respected back with Peter Bowen.
2	2 |PU| (2) (18/1 -64%) Jimmy The Digger		18 18/1(-64%)																															(2) Jimmy The Digger 18/1, Pulled up on his final outing last season (bled). Shaping well before an unfortunate unseat on return at Aintree but not in same form next 2 starts. Still, he can't be dismissed from easing mark down in class. Has dropped down the weights but merely fifth the last twice and needs something more.
9	9 |PU| (9) (25/1 +62%) Song Of Earth		25 25/1(+62%)																															(9) Song Of Earth 25/1, A three-time winner for Margaret Mullins in Ireland but he's yet to offer much in 4 runs for his current yard. Three wins in Ireland but he's struggled to get competitive in Britain on last four starts.

Scene One was said to have been unsuited by heavy ground when pulled up at Fakenham in December, but Lucy Wadham's charge put that blip behind him when winning over 2m3f here last month. A 5lb rise could underestimate the gelding, but EASY BUCKS bolted up at Punchestown on his latest outing and he might be hard to beat with any further progress. Others to note include Geryville and Huntingdon scorer Mixedwave.

INFLEXIBLE is getting the hang of things over fences now and his much-improved second at Hereford last month appeals as solid form, so he's taken to go one place better. Mixedwave and Scene One are both going the right way and are feared.

Bottomweight MIXEDWAVE continues to improve and, having shown that he's suited by C&D, can follow up last month's win at Huntingdon.

1	2 1st (2) (1/2 +45%) Golden Ace		0.5 1/2(+45%)																															(2) Golden Ace 1/2, Fairly useful in bumpers (runner-up in Grade 2 on final outing) and, on the back of a breathing operation, created a favourable impression in seeing off a couple of above-average winners on her hurdling debut here (19f) 29 days ago. Looks sure to progress and the one to beat under a penalty. 2nd in Grade 2 Aintree bumper; won hurdling debut here (2m3f, soft) after wind surgery.
2	8 2nd (8) (16/1 -100%) Linda Moon		16 16/1(-100%)																															(8) Linda Moon 16/1, Bumper winner who did better with her hurdling debut under her belt when third of 14 in a novice at Doncaster (16.6f, soft) 27 days ago, headed run-in having looked in control 2 out. More needed for win purposes. Significant ability in bumpers and over hurdles; a bit more would give major place claims.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 -35%) Manimole		4.5 9/2(-35%)																															(1) Manimole 9/2, Stood up well to a pretty busy 2023, proving better than ever when landing a substandard listed event at Newbury in December. Found good run of form coming to a halt at Lingfield 16 days ago, though. Often front-runs; kept busy, consistent and progressive for most of last year; good shout.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -85%) Brendas Asking		12 12/1(-85%)																															(3) Brendas Asking 12/1, Showed ability in points/bumpers and built on hurdling promise when fourth of 10 in a novice at Kempton (16f, good to soft) 24 days ago. May do better still. Has raised her game switched to hurdling but needs another marked step forward to win this.
5th	6 5th (6) (28/1 -100%) Imperious Star		28 28/1(-100%)																															(6) Imperious Star 28/1, €36,000 3-y-o, Flemensfirth mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Mega Yeats. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Sam Adams and half-sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 3¼m) Snoopy Loopy. Interesting newcomer. 36,000euros 3yo buy; pretty useful pedigree; on debut for powerful yard, market can guide.
6th	10 6th (10) (6/1 +50%) Politacus		6 6/1(+50%)																															(10) Politacus 6/1, Bumper winner at the third attempt before finishing fourth in 20-runner Grade 2 at Aintree. Below that level both starts over hurdles, however, looking short of pace when 23 lengths fourth of 11 to Manimole at Newbury on most recent outing. Improvement needed. Just over 3l behind Golden Ace in Grade 2 bumper; well below that form both hurdle starts.
7th	7 7th (7) (80/1 -142%) Lady Caro		80 80/1(-142%)																															(7) Lady Caro 80/1, Fair form in bumpers and has shown some promise both starts over hurdles but looks more one for handicaps after this. Has shown some ability but needs a lot more to trouble the best of these.
8th	5 8th (5) (100/1 -400%) Granny Hawkins		100 100/1(-400%)																															(5) Granny Hawkins 100/1, Went backwards from a promising debut when well held in a bumper at Warwick (16f, heavy) 90 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and needs to get back on track. No match for the winner last June in her first bumper and tailed off on soft in November.
9th	9 9th (9) (80/1 -220%) Madame Pompadour		80 80/1(-220%)																															(9) Madame Pompadour 80/1, Shaped with little promise on first run since leaving Polly Gundry when eighth of 12 in a maiden hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, soft, 8/1) 33 days ago. Back down in trip. Well bred but has not achieved much; hurdle/stable last time was over 2m5f at Hereford.
12	12 |PU| (12) (200/1 -100%) Prairie Queen		200 200/1(-100%)																															(12) Prairie Queen 200/1, Down the field in a pair of bumpers. Low-level form in soft-ground bumpers at Stratford and Newbury.
11	11 |PU| (11) (250/1 -150%) Rays Rabble		250 250/1(-150%)																															(11) Rays Rabble 250/1, Pulled up all 3 starts over hurdles so easily passed over. Pulled up over hurdles all three starts, off 707 days before latest.

Second, albeit well held behind Dysart Enos in the Grade 2 mares' bumper at Aintree last season, GOLDEN ACE was able to make an immediate impact when sent over hurdles here last month. Jeremy Scott's charge must shoulder a penalty, but that might not be enough to stop her with improvement on the cards. Four-time hurdles winner Manimole might not have the same potential that some of these do, but she merits respect at this level, while Linda Moon is the most appealing of the remainder.

GOLDEN ACE saw off a pair of above-average winners in ready fashion on her hurdling debut here last month and is selected to defy a penalty with improvement on the cards. Brendas Asking built on her first effort in this sphere when fourth at Kempton recently and may do better still, with Imperious Star a respected newcomer.

Manimole should fare a lot better than on her latest start but gives 4lb to GOLDEN ACE who is readily preferred.

1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +47%) Diva Luna		4 4/1(+47%)																															(3) Diva Luna 4/1, €50,000 3-y-o, Diamond Boy mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Della Casa Lunga. Runner-up sole start in Irish points and newcomers from yard often fancied, but she's pitched in pretty deep here. Runner-up in a point on sole start; tough task on rules debut but she brings potential.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 +0%) Listentoyourheart		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(4) Listentoyourheart 11/2, Out of a dual bumper winner and got on top close home when making a winning start at Sedgefield. No backward step when 3¾ lengths second to Avakate in listed bumper at Doncaster since and, now 7 lb better off with that rival, she has to enter calculations. No match for Avakate when second at Doncaster but can give another good account.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 -25%) Sunset Marquesa		10 10/1(-25%)																															(7) Sunset Marquesa 10/1, Related to winners and made a successful start herself at Aintree in October. Shaped like a stayer when fourth to Baby Kate in this grade at Cheltenham the following month. Good Listed fourth at Cheltenham in November but others possess stronger form.
4	8 4th (8) (15/8 -7%) Park Princess		1.875 15/8(-7%)																															(8) Park Princess 15/8, Half-sister to 4 winners and more than lived up to market expectations (sent off 2/1 favourite) when landing a big-field Newbury bumper (16.3f, heavy) in good style in December. Potentially very useful and she's probably the one to beat. Well backed and impressive on last month's debut at Newbury; could play a leading role.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/3 +26%) Avakate		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(1) Avakate 10/3, Off the mark at the second attempt in Irish bumpers for Andy Slattery and improved again when seeing off Listentoyourheart and 11 others in a listed contest on debut for new connections at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft). Penalty to carry but she's clearly useful. Ready Listed win at Doncaster last month; 7lb penalty but strong claims.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 -87%) Audacious Annie		14 14/1(-87%)																															(2) Audacious Annie 14/1, Half-sister to numerous winners and justified strong market support when making a successful debut in a Wetherby bumper (2m, heavy) at the end of November. Easy to pick holes in that form, though, and she's probably biting off more than she can chew up in grade here. Won on debut at Wetherby; half-sister to yard's star mare You Wear It Well; good prospect.
7th	9 7th (9) (66/1 -100%) Simply Belle		66 66/1(-100%)																															(9) Simply Belle 66/1, Has made the frame on each of her 3 starts in bumpers to date, doing more than enough to suggest that she'll be winning one before long. However, she's likely to find this company much too hot. Has shown ability but not enough to suggest she'll make a serious impact today.

PARK PRINCESS created a big impression when winning by 10 lengths on her racecourse debut at Newbury in December and the daughter of Walk In The Park is hard to oppose as a result. Avakate got the better of Listentoyourheart (second) in a similar event at Doncaster last time and another good run can be expected from Alan King's mare. Others to note are Northern Air and Diva Luna.

It was hard not to be impressed by the way PARK PRINCESS quickened away from her rivals at Newbury and, with the promise of better to come, she can take this step up in class in her stride. Avakate did the job well when seeing off Listentoyourheart at Doncaster and there shouldn't be much between them on these terms. Northern Air, an easy winner of her sole start between the flags, is an intriguing candidate for last year's winning yard, too.

Having travelled supremely well when winning a Listed mares' bumper at Doncaster in December, AVAKATE is taken to defy a penalty.

1	3 1st (3) (16/5 -7%) Sure Touch		3.2 16/5(-7%)																															(3) Sure Touch 16/5, Had a productive 2022 over hurdles, winning 4 times, and better form when off the mark at the third attempt over fences at Uttoxeter before Christmas. Back up in trip now but stayed this far over hurdles. Has to be taken seriously up only 2 lb. Has taken well to fences this season and was nudged up only 2lb for his win in December.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 -100%) Magic Saint		9 9/1(-100%)																															(2) Magic Saint 9/1, Off the mark in hunters at Wincanton (20.2f) in March before finding his stamina stretched at Aintree (21.1f). Seemed amiss back in open company at Newton Abbot when last seen in June but not taken lightly off a tempting mark. Not seen since a poor run last June but has slipped to a very dangerous mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/4 +21%) Stormy Flight		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(4) Stormy Flight 11/4, Has gradually worked his way back to form this season and took advantage of a drop in the weights in 4-runner event at Exeter 8 weeks ago. Won a similar event over this C&D a year ago so must be respected. Back in good form with Exeter win in December; also well suited by this C&D; respected.
4	7 4th (7) (7/1 +0%) Love Actually		7 7/1(+0%)																															(7) Love Actually 7/1, Hurdles/chase winner around here who added to her tally at Kempton (3m) 12 months ago. Lightly raced since and she failed to build on her reappearance run when pulled up at Wincanton (25f) over Christmas. Return to this venue may help. Pulled up last time but back on a good mark now and return to this track is a big plus.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 +42%) Neon Moon		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(1) Neon Moon 7/2, Strong traveller who returned better than ever to open his account over fences in handicap at Ludlow (23.8f) in October. Tame finishes since, however, markedly so at Newbury latest. Disappointed last time but has conditions to suit and is on a good mark; can't rule out.
5	5 |PU| (5) (7/1 +0%) Quoi De Neuf		7 7/1(+0%)																															(5) Quoi De Neuf 7/1, Returned to winning ways in 4-runner handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f) in June and dispelled pair of lesser efforts when second at Catterick (19.2f) in November. Added to patchy record when well held at Ludlow since. Ran well two starts and and is suited by this track but has become unreliable.
6	6 |PU| (6) (18/1 -157%) Bridge North		18 18/1(-157%)																															(6) Bridge North 18/1, Fairly useful hurdler who made a winning start over fences in 3-runner handicap chase at Newbury (23.4f, soft) in March. Disappointing since, however. Won on chasing debut last March but yet to get going this season.

SURE TOUCH was a narrow winner over 2m4f at Uttoxeter shortly before Christmas and the step back up in trip could help him to defy a 2lb rise in the ratings here. Stormy Flight also won on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Quoi De Neuf and Neon Moon.

SURE TOUCH was prolific over hurdles last season and is already better over fences this term, scoring with a bit more in hand than the bare margin suggests at Uttoxeter last time. He's taken to defy a 2 lb rise at the main expense of the back-to-form Stormy Flight and the returning Magic Saint.

There is more to come from SURE TOUCH (nap), who was nudged up only 2lb for winning a tactical race at Uttoxeter in December.

1	1 1st (1) (9/1 -29%) Breakdance Kid		9 9/1(-29%)																															(1) Breakdance Kid 9/1, Unpromising in points but showed ability over hurdles and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when fourth on chasing debut at Musselburgh (20.3f, soft). 3 lb lower here and improvement should be forthcoming. Improvement needed now up in trip but this lightly raced 6yo could have more to offer.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/4 +32%) Monaghan Boy		2.25 9/4(+32%)																															(7) Monaghan Boy 9/4, Remains a maiden following 14 starts overall but has finished second twice from 3 runs in this sphere, including last time at Catterick (25.2f, soft) where he had Benny Baloo behind. 1 lb nudge fair enough and reproduction of that effort would give him every chance. 0-14 but runner-up the last twice and a first win could be imminent.
3	5 3rd (5) (3/1 -9%) Benny Baloo		3 3/1(-9%)																															(5) Benny Baloo 3/1, Just poor form over hurdles but much better since sent chasing, off the mark in comfortable fashion over C&D on Boxing Day. Came up short at Catterick since but that wasn't a bad effort and he'll be a player granted a good round of jumping. Impressed over C&D in December; only fifth at Catterick but may yet be capable of better.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 +23%) Flemen's Tipple		5 5/1(+23%)																															(2) Flemen's Tipple 5/1, Runner-up 3 times from 5 starts in handicap hurdles, including at Plumpton (25f, soft) recently. Needs to pull out a little more now switched to fences but that's not impossible and he's one to consider. Chase debut; good second over hurdles last time and his dam was best known as a chaser.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/3 +17%) Elleon		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(4) Elleon 10/3, Yet to win over jumps but is as consistent as they come and has returned to action this season with another couple of solid efforts in defeat. Has undergone a wind op since his latest start and likely to be on the premises once again. Hard to win with but admirably consistent and good chance he'll be thereabouts.
6	6 |PU| (6) (16/1 -14%) Chic Avenue		16 16/1(-14%)																															(6) Chic Avenue 16/1, Modest at best in bumpers/over hurdles and well beaten on chase debut when last seen in November. Things may click at some point but she was tailed off on her chase debut in November.

FLEMEN'S TIPPLE bounced back to form when second over 3m1f at Plumpton last time and he could go one better on his chase debut off 2lb higher. Elleon is a consistent performer who has to be of interest following a wind operation since his latest second at Catterick in December. Monaghan Boy edges out Furkash to be best of the rest.

BENNY BALOO was behind Monaghan Boy at Catterick but he is of strong interest returned to the scene of his stylish breakthrough success during the Christmas period, which was his sole previous appearance on a right-hand track under Rules. Monaghan Boy has improved with each of his three runs over fences and is likely to be involved in the finish, along with the consistent Elleon. Chase-debutant Flemen's Tipple is also considered in a race iwhere pretty much all seven have a chance.

Today could be the day for ELLEON. He has been frustrating to follow but his form reads very well in today's context.

1	10 1st (10) (12/1 +0%) Mammies Boy		12 12/1(+0%)																															(10) Mammies Boy 12/1, Promise in maiden/novice hurdles to start 2023 but disappointing start to his career his handicaps, weakening quickly when backed at Hereford in November. Placed twice last January but struggled badly this term in his three handicaps (2m/2m3f).
2	2 2nd (2) (13/2 -63%) Stanley Pincombe		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(2) Stanley Pincombe 13/2, Consistent sort who resumed winning ways in 9-runner handicap hurdle over 20.5f at Plumpton in November. Off since and raised 5 lb in the interim but he's in excellent hands. Won over C&D last March and at Plumpton (2m4f) in November latest; has never been better.
3	14 3rd (14) (40/1 +20%) Battle March		40 40/1(+20%)																															(14) Battle March 40/1, Small-field novice winner at Exeter in October 2021 bit lightly raced since and doesn't appear to retain that much ability. Accomplished little in his three handicaps, on softer than good and with two long absences.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 +50%) Lelant		7 7/1(+50%)																															(4) Lelant 7/1, Some promise in maiden/novice hurdles and improved at the second time of asking in handicaps when going down only narrowly over C&D in November. Shaped as though still in good form when fifth at Hereford since. Beaten a head over C&D (good) in November; ran creditably latest but needs to find extra.
5th	9 5th (9) (16/1 -129%) Just Go For It		16 16/1(-129%)																															(9) Just Go For It 16/1, Dual winner over 21f at Wincanton last March, Heavy defeat at Warwick in May and off 9 months after but she gave it a really good go when third at Hereford. Veteran needs to back that run up. 11yo; won twice at Wincanton last March and back-to-form third at Hereford on latest start.
6th	16 6th (16) (28/1 +15%) Whynotnowroy		28 28/1(+15%)																															(16) Whynotnowroy 28/1, Third in a bumper at Wincanton but yet to make a significant impact over hurdles. Opposable from out of the weights. Hasn't got near debut form, including in two handicaps; now hooded; 9lb out of handicap.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/5 +4%) Gyllen		3.2 16/5(+4%)																															(3) Gyllen 16/5, Smart on the Flat at one time and revived for Kayley Woollacott, winning twice at this venue before completing the hat-trick at Sandown 11 days ago. Was perhaps a shade fortunate last time but he remains of firm interest up 5 lb. On four-timer; raised another 5lb but this resurgent 9yo must be in serious calculations.
8th	7 8th (7) (12/1 -33%) Always Busy		12 12/1(-33%)																															(7) Always Busy 12/1, Caused a 66/1 surprise when making his second hurdles start a winning one at Warwick (2m) last November. Hasn't been able to repeat that effort since but his mark has come down a long way as a result. Prominent in betting last twice; 15lb lower than handicap debut but needs to up his game.
9th	8 9th (8) (16/1 -129%) Gieves		16 16/1(-129%)																															(8) Gieves 16/1, Hooded for first time and career best when winning 2m novice hurdle at Worcester in September. Held back by jumping back in a handicap at that venue a month later and given a break since. Hooded last two runs, coming from rear to win a 2m maiden and fair 4th in a 2m4f handicap.
10th	1 10th (1) (12/1 +14%) Halligator		12 12/1(+14%)																															(1) Halligator 12/1, Made a winning start over hurdles in a Uttoxeter maiden in June 2022 and runner-up next 2 starts. Lightly raced subsequently and raced too freely following 5 months off/wind op at Warwick (21f, heavy) in November. Absent since. 2nd last April; yet to match that display; particularly disappointing in November latest.
11th	13 11th (13) (66/1 -164%) Hour Star		66 66/1(-164%)																															(13) Hour Star 66/1, Runner-up on the first of 2 starts in bumpers last season. Has looked a very hard ride in his qualifying runs so comes with clear risks attached now handicapping. Hooded. Has not achieved a great deal; handicap debut, over a longer trip and hooded first time.
12th	6 12th (6) (6/1 -33%) Commanding View		6 6/1(-33%)																															(6) Commanding View 6/1, Some promise in 2 bumper outings and progressed with each start over hurdles, making a successful switch to handicaps at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in December, battling well to shade a tight finish. 5 lb higher in a better race but could have more to offer over this trip. Up 5lb after Plumpton 2m win on handicap debut; also up in trip, which may well suit.
13th	5 13th (5) (15/2 +63%) Sea Village		7.5 15/2(+63%)																															(5) Sea Village 15/2, Fair form shown last term but off 8 months and pulled up both starts back to end 2023. Since had wind surgery. Progressive last season but pulled up this term in his two handicaps; wind surgery since.
14th	15 14th (15) (10/1 +50%) Prince Rhinegold		10 10/1(+50%)																															(15) Prince Rhinegold 10/1, Stepped up on reappearance effort when creditable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D in November, finishing with running left. 2 lb lower now and is not out of things. Back to form over C&D latest but that was good enough for only fifth of ten; work to do.
11	11 |PU| (11) (125/1 -279%) Chadlington Lad		125 125/1(-279%)																															(11) Chadlington Lad 125/1, Modest maiden hurdler who ended last term with a good second at Huntingdon (2m) in March for Ben Pauling. Had a wind op and finished well held starting out for new yard in December. 0-11 (four seconds) over hurdles for Ben Pauling and soundly beaten on debut for new yard.
12	12 |PU| (12) (125/1 -89%) Meranti		125 125/1(-89%)																															(12) Meranti 125/1, Mid-field both starts over hurdles in Ireland and signed off time for Stuart Crawford with fourth-place finish in a bumper in May. Little to shout about in 4 appearances for new yard, though and hopes rest on application of headgear. His form looks none too solid; now has tongue-tie and cheekpieces, both for the first time.

Gyllen has to be of interest having racked up a hat-trick in recent months, but marginal preference is for STANLEY PINCOMBE. Chris Gordon's gelding beat a decent field at Plumpton when last seen in November and a 5lb rise for that success appears to be fair. Commanding View is another last-time-out winner to consider, while Just Go For It also makes the shortlist.

Quite a few to consider but the revival of one-time smart Flat performer GYLLEN shows no sign of abating so he's selected to overcome his latest rise in the weights and complete the 4-timer. Commanding View and Stanley Pincombe also won last time and head the opposition, with Lelant one to consider at longer odds.

The last-time-out winners look the ones to focus on, with unexposed COMMANDING VIEW preferred to Gyllen and Stanley Pincombe.

Ran one of his lesser races when eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 22/1) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly off easing mark. Fared okay when staying on fifth at Lingfield (penultimate); modest at Southwell since..
7th	3 7th (3) (80/1 -186%) Rendition		80 80/1(-186%)																															(3) Rendition 80/1, Course winner. One win from 3 runs last year. 80/1 and hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Stuart Edmunds when last of 8 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 17 days ago. Struggled when an unconsidered outsider here on recent stable debut (1m4f); needs more..
8th	6 8th (6) (40/1 -100%) Duke Of Vienna		40 40/1(-100%)																															(6) Duke Of Vienna 40/1, 100/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good to firm). Off 155 days. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Plenty to find on form. Seven-race maiden with plenty to prove; newly gelded & sliding down the weights; stamina?.

CRYSTAL GUARD had been in decent form prior to a below-par showing at Newcastle but, should he bounce back, Iain Jardine's charge might be worth chancing. Send In The Clouds is unproven at this trip but there have been signs that it could suit the son of Delegator. With that in mind, he must enter the reckoning along with Easter Icon, who was perhaps unsuited by heavy ground at Bath in October and has switched stables since.

EAGLE'S REALM (declared 19.30 Southwell Monday) was too free when unable to complete the 4-timer at Newcastle 2 weeks ago but the drop back in trip will suit and he remains of plenty of interest. Easter Icon did well last season and is starting out for an in-form yard, so rates the main threat ahead of the veteran Grandee, who's dropping in class.

The form pick in a weak race is EAGLE'S REALM, who was due to run yesterday. On Cloud is second choice.

1	6 1st (6) (3/1 -140%) Jungle Dance		3 3/1(-140%)																															(6) Jungle Dance 3/1, Blinkered for 1st time, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 6/1) 15 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Big shout in a thin race. 13-race maiden; continues to knock at the door (second over C&D two runs back); contender.

Step forward when placed in first-time cheekpieces over C&D last time; handicap debut..

Makes tapeta/yard debut and while she now has a bit to prove, this reduced mark is a source of hope. Ability for J. Butler (notably at Thirsk); low-key for G. Kelleway; first run for P. Makin.
6th	7 6th (7) (4/1 +33%) Clionia		4 4/1(+33%)																															(7) Clionia 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in nursery at Newcastle (6f, 33/1). Off 109 days ahead of this debut for new yard and she's worth a peek in the betting. Poor form in four starts for G. Tutty; basement mark on first run for M. Appleby..

Not a particularly strong contest, in which a chance can be taken on DARK ENIGMA. A creditable third in a C&D maiden in December, she could progress now sent handicapping and an opening mark of 56 would appear to be fair. Smooth Silesie can give another good account of herself eased 2lb in the ratings, having finished third at Southwell on her first appearance for the Lisa Williamson stable. Jungle Dance can chase the pair home.

JUNGLE DANCE continues in form and might be able to open his account now. Dark Enigma shouldn't be far away if able to build on her latest improved effort and Toosha would also be in with a shout if able to get back on track for her new yard.

This weak race may be the right opportunity for JUNGLE DANCE to break his duck. Toosha and Clionia need a market check.

Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 66/1) 29 days ago. That was a bit more like it and he's well handicapped these days. C&D winner in 2021; below form both starts last year and also on reappearance last month.
7th	5 7th (5) (12/1 -200%) Locked N' Loaded		12 12/1(-200%)																															(5) Locked N' Loaded 12/1, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 9/4, eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 12 days ago. Back up in trip and needs everything to fall right. Ex-French; has run a couple of decent races at Southwell for this yard; others appeal more.
8th	10 8th (10) (22/1 -120%) Dreamcasing		22 22/1(-120%)																															(10) Dreamcasing 22/1, Course winner. Winner here in January. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (14/1) at this course (7.2f) 8 days ago. Looks worth a shot at this trip. Won 7f handicap here last month; fair efforts since; quite interesting back up in trip..

Last of 8 in handicap (50/1) at this course (9.5f) 11 days ago. Hard to weight up at present. Ex-Irish; fair third in a C&D maiden on stable debut but well beaten on handicap debut.
10th	8 10th (8) (6/1 -20%) Kingwell		6 6/1(-20%)																															(8) Kingwell 6/1, C&D winner. One win from 21 Flat runs. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 7/2) 19 days ago. Visor back on and he's likely to give it another good go. 1-21; two good runs this year, finishing fourth over C&D on first occasion; a possible.

TONAL caught the eye when staying on into third from off the pace at Chelmsford last month, and the unexposed son of Siyouni could step forward from an unchanged mark. A slow start didn't help Panama City's chances at Newcastle, but he struck over C&D prior to that and it would come as no surprise were he to bounce back. Harbour Vision, who hit the woodwork over an extended 1m1f here recently, is also noted.

LOCAL MUSIC took her form to a new level when second over C&D in December and this lightly-raced 4-y-o has plenty to recommend her. Panama City gave a good account of himself from the front at Newcastle last time and that puts him right in the mix, with course regular Harbour Vision another of interest.

The unexposed TONAL was a good third on handicap debut at Chelmsford and, with improvement to come, is taken to beat Local Music.

Dam once-raced half-sister to useful US 5.5f-1m winner One More Round, runner-up in US Grade 3 8.5f event. Not ruled out. First foal of a lightly raced mare who is related to dirt winners; worth a market check.

Half-sister to four winners; wears a tongue tie on debut; worth a market check..
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 -87%) Pilgrim Of Culture		14 14/1(-87%)																															(9) Pilgrim Of Culture 14/1, Twice-raced filly, better effort when third of 9 in maiden at Newcastle (8f, 33/1) 18 days ago.

CRIMSON CORONET built on her debut fifth at Kempton when beating all bar a well-bred, well-supported newcomer at Newcastle. Connections will hope that she meets nothing of that calibre here, and her experience can help her to make it third-time lucky. Pilgrim Of Culture was back in third in that Kempton contest, and her trainer Karl Burke also saddles Alpine Oasis. The daughter of Oasis Dream is joined by another interesting first-timer in the James Fanshawe-trained Moonlight Express, who made 85,000gns as a yearling.

Charlie Fellowes' Zoustar filly CRIMSON CORONET possesses much the best form on offer so is taken to get off the mark at the third attempt. Newcomers Alpine Oasis and Night of Desire both offer potential and need considering, especially if the market vibes are positive, along with Roger Varian's once-raced Orchard Keeper.

In a tricky contest the choice is CRIMSON CORONET who ran well enough at Newcastle last time to suggest she can with a race like this.

BEAUZON bursting into life has coincided with Charlie Bishop taking over the reins and the pair have teamed up to strike three times here since the turn of the year, with David Probert also tasting success on the Ian Williams-trained five-year-old. It is very difficult to oppose him while in such good form and the five-timer is on. Gustav Graves is holding his form well and should be in the thick of the action once more. Maharajas Express and New Hope Bullet aren't out of it either.

GLORY FIGHTER wasn't seen to best effect at Newcastle last time so is worth another chance to build on his promise there from the time before having eased another 3 lb. Maharajas Express shaped as if still in form when missing the break at Lingfield last time and remains unexposed as a sprinter, so rates a big threat along with the thriving Beauzon, who's bidding for a 5-timer here.

With the penalised Beauzon possibly vulnerable at this shorter trip the vote goes to C&D winner MAHARAJAS EXPRESS.

Berkshire Phantom has to be respected following his win over C&D on Saturday, but a 5lb penalty is a concern. With that in mind, marginal preference is for PESSOA, who won twice over this track and trip before filling second place here last time. A reproduction of any of those efforts would give him a big chance in this company, while Dynamic Talent and Candy Warhol are also noted.

BERKSHIRE PHANTOM confirmed himself back on song when winning in good style here on Saturday and should take plenty of stopping under a penalty. Pessoa was unlucky to bump into one when bidding for the hat-trick over C&D 3 weeks ago but it may be the same story again. Dynamic Talent is best of the others.

Striking while the iron's hot, BERKSHIRE PHANTOM (nap) could well complete a quickfire C&D double. Pessoa is second choice.

That was more like it and he's below last winning mark. Has regressed and was only fifth at Newcastle last time in a race he won two years earlier.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 +40%) El Hombre		12 12/1(+40%)																															(6) El Hombre 12/1, Three-time C&D winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 28 days ago. Needs to cast that run aside. Second to a well-backed winner at Lingfield in November but less convincing twice since.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 +0%) Warminster		4 4/1(+0%)																															(4) Warminster 4/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Good neck second of 11 to Alafdhal in handicap at this C&D (7/2) 11 days ago. Another bold bid looks firmly on the cards. Running well and had his pocket picked by Alafdhal over C&D 11 days ago (1lb lower).
5th	3 5th (3) (9/4 +32%) El Hibri		2.25 9/4(+32%)																															(3) El Hibri 9/4, Won 5-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 10/11) 7 days ago, having run of race. Carries penalty and things unlikely to pan out as well this time but he's still dangerous. Southwell winner last week; bit to find with two of these on his previous visit here.
6th	9 6th (9) (15/2 -15%) All In The Hips		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(9) All In The Hips 15/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 18 runs last year. 13/2, won 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 19 days ago. Enters calculations. Came home well at Chelmsford (6f) to earn a fifth career success; up 3lb.
7th	8 7th (8) (7/2 +0%) Dazy Mazy		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(8) Dazy Mazy 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 25 days ago. Hasn't stood much racing but claims if backing that effort up. One to be interested in after a closing fourth here recently following an absence.
8th	1 8th (1) (12/1 +14%) Hour By Hour		12 12/1(+14%)																															(1) Hour By Hour 12/1, Denied a clear run when sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 12 days ago. Eased 2 lb and dropped in class, too. Racing keenly continues to hold him back and best efforts have been on turf.

ALL IN THE HIPS has only been raised 3lb for her win over this distance at Chelmsford last month and it would be no surprise to see the four-year-old go in again as a result. Alafdhal (first) and Warminster (second) are closely matched based on their meeting over C&D recently and they are likely to go well once again, while El Hibri is next best.

Stall 11 doesn't make things easy for ALAFDHAL but a very experienced jockey is on and a 2 lb rise for his C&D win 11 days ago is very fair. Warminster was runner-up in that race and may give the selection most to think about again, with All In The Hips another in-form runner to consider.

The key race could be the recent C&D handicap in which ALAFDHAL got up late in the day to deny Warminster and El Hibri.

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.
