SPEED DAVIS finished full of running when he landed a bumper at Sedgefield last month and ought to have plenty more to offer now there are obstacles to negotiate. A half-brother to a handful of winner over jumps, the six-year-old was successful in a point-to-point before joining Donald McCain's yard and he is the logical choice here. Pickanumber sets the standard based on his form in Ireland and is respected on debut for new connections. Mr Le Philosophe completes the shortlist.

Well bred and a winning pointer, SPEED DAVIS was much improved from his Rules debut when scoring easily in a bumper at Sedgefield a month ago, so he looks one to note as he goes over hurdles. He can get the better of Pickanumber, who isn't taken lightly on his first start for Olly Murphy, with Mr Le Philosophe completing the shortlist.

Having shown plenty of promise on his hurdles debut here MR LE PHILOSOPHE is taken to get off the mark by beating Speed Davis.
Class & Speed Card

HARPER VALLEY has scope for a good deal of improvement and, from a competitive mark, rates a solid option on these terms, with trip and ground conditions looking ideal. Hajey, who went agonisingly close to completing a C&D double, is respected but faces a stiff test in conceding so much weight to the selection, therefore Inferno Sacree might pose more of a threat running off just 2lb above his last winning figure.

SINGAPORE TRIP has got better with every start for Micky Hammond and looks ready to resume winning ways after his smooth-travelling Wetherby third last time out. Hajey has gone from strength to strength this term and rates a big threat with Inferno Sacree, Harper Valley and Rocky Man all in the mix too.

It may be worth taking a chance on GOLFE CLAIR, who is coming along steadily after an absence and could now strike from a handy mark.
Class & Speed Card

HILL OF TARA can do little wrong at present and a 15lb rise for wins at Haydock and Hereford may not be enough to prevent him completing the hat-trick. The seven-year-old seems to relish the mud and he should have too much for Hasty Parisian, who has become well handicapped but shown only mild promise for new connections. Similar comments apply to San Pedro, who would probably prefer faster ground.

HILL OF TARA remains on a workable mark despite taking a 15 lb hit for his easy Hereford success and can bag a fifth victory of the term. Three-time C&D winner Good News appeals as the one to chase home Venetia Williams' improver ahead of San Pedro.

Although 15lb higher than for his most recent win HILL OF TARA still looks the one to beat under conditions that suit.
Class & Speed Card

It's early days for all of these and the likes of Le Jeune Bresil, Had To Be Hugo and Court Case are surely better than they mustered most recently, so warrant betting checks at the very least. However, TAP N GO LEO appears to have a bright future and having mainly jumped well when third on his hurdles debut over 2m3f at Warwick last month, the Jonjo O'Neill-trained five-year-old could be a different proposition with this longer trip a likely prompt for improvement.

Bumper winner TAP N GO LEO has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and produced an encouraging effort on hurdles bow at Warwick last month, so he makes plenty of appeal on his second start in this sphere. Le Jeune Bresil created a good impression on his only completed start so far, and having returned amiss last time, could be worth another chance, so he's put forward as the danger.

As Tap N Go Leo, a good third in a decent maiden on his debut, is not a certain stayer up in trip, preference is for MICRO MILLIONS.
Class & Speed Card

Things may not have gone to plan for AVILES when pulled up as a short-priced favourite over further at Fontwell, but he had been ultra consistent prior to that and is better judged on a narrow defeat at the same track in November. Gary Moore's charge has undergone wind surgery since his latest run and that may be enough to see off the likes of three-time course winner Alto Alto and Prince Quali, who seems to be improving since arriving on these shores from France.

ALTO ALTO responded well to headgear/a tongue strap when scoring over hurdles here 5 weeks ago and can follow up back in this sphere. Prince Quali was all the better for his yard debut/belated return when runner-up at Wincanton and is next best.

Alto Alto returned to form over hurdles last time but PRINCE QUALI (nap) went close in his first British chase and can do better yet
Class & Speed Card

VAL DANCER is on a hat-trick after backing up a wide-margin Leicester triumph when again justifying favouritism at Wetherby. Mel Rowley's gelding has a 7lb higher rating to contend with, but makes only his fourth chase start and could still be improving. Conquredalofeurope accounted for Ideal Du Tabert over C&D and he has to be considered off a 3lb higher figure, while Tom Cody was some way adrift of the selection last time but was flying prior to that.

The hat-trick beckons for VAL DANCER, who was value for extra than the 2-length winning margin at Wetherby (hands-and-heels riding) and with that form proving strong, he can get the better of Tom Cody, who was a few places behind the selection last time but shaped as if still in good form.

The looks best left to the unexposed and improving VAL DANCER (nap), who has plenty in his favour.
Class & Speed Card

Runner-up in a valuable handicap at Royal Ascot last June and last seen running in the Ebor, HMS PRESIDENT looks a shrewd recruit to this sphere. Trainer Alan King has done well with these types in the past and the seven-year-old may be able to take this en route to bigger targets, with recent Warwick third Koenigsstern looking best placed to chase him home. The booking of Harry Cobden aboard Lario catches the eye and he could also land a blow.

KOENIGSSTERN has started off well over hurdles and this dual points scorer is fancied to build on his excellent Warwick third and get off the mark in this sphere. Alan King's hurdling newcomer HMS President brings plenty of potential judged on his useful-winning Flat form and rates a big danger though. Military Tycoon appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

This race is all about smart Flat handicapper HMS PRESIDENT who ought to be a laydown now he goes hurdling.
Class & Speed Card

For Pleasure is likely to have his supporters as he bids for three in a row after victories at Fakenham and Fontwell. However, preference is for HOLLY, who burst back into life in fine style at Market Rasen. She has been hit with a 9lb rise, but that might not be enough to prevent her from going in again. Last-time-out Sedgefield winner Moonlight Glory takes a step up in grade and is another to note.

A good contest that can go to FOR PLEASURE. Still well-handicapped on his 2020 Grade 2-winning form, he's 2-2 for Olly Murphy and has been given a break since his Fontwell victory on Boxing Day. Holly and Moonlight Glory were also both successful last time and are feared.

This can go to EL JEFE, who has already won three this season and ran as though needing the race when fourth at Carlisle last week.
Class & Speed Card

Three of the four contenders in this contest are last-time-out winners and the one preferred most is KOTMASK. Gary Moore's gelding cleared away by eight lengths in this grade at Sandown last time and he now takes a step back up in distance, which he should have no issues with. Chanceux secured a double when going in by a neck over an extended 2m at Doncaster in December and he isn't out of it off a 4lb higher rating. Of the remainder, Ballybeen makes more appeal than Scarface after two consecutive seconds recently.

The progressive KOTMASK posted a good timefigure when scoring at Sandown last time and he can strike again. Scarface jumped better fitted in this headgear when winning over C&D 5 weeks ago is next best.

All four runners have something going for them but KOTMASK shouldn't have a problem with the return to further after a clear 1m7f win.
Class & Speed Card

Minella Trump has been lowered 10lb in the space of two runs and he is also taking a drop in grade, but he isn't proven in conditions potentially this testing. With that in mind, BUSHYPARK looks the way to go. Phil Kirby's 10-year-old struck over hurdles at Haydock on his penultimate start and if he can reproduce that level of form after subsequently managing only fifth in the defence of his North Yorkshire Grand National title, he could be the one to beat. Floueur should be fitter on his second start after a long absence and holds stronger claims than Omar Maretti.

All 4 have something to prove but OMAR MARETTI hinted at a revival at Haydock last time so gets the vote having won this race 2 years ago. Bushypark is next best.

In a tricky four-runner event the vote goes to BUSHYPARK despite a below-par run here last time. Omar Maretti is next best.
Class & Speed Card

BIRDMAN BOB has filled the runner-up berth the last twice, including over track and trip on his latest outing, and he wouldn't need to improve much to go one better on this occasion. Homme D'Un Soir was beaten eight lengths into second in this grade at Market Rasen last month and he has to be considered off a 1lb lower rating, while Kaleb could show more in first-time blinkers.

RED WINDSOR reverts to hurdling off a tempting mark and could be worth chancing. Homme d'Un Soir is feared most ahead of Birdman Bob.

Slight preference is for BIRDMAN BOB who has a solid record in handicaps here and ran well over C&D last time out.
Class & Speed Card

This is a tricky puzzle to solve and only a tentative vote goes to LADY BERLAIS, who struck by eight lengths two starts ago at Fakenham. Dan Skelton's mare disappointed at Sedgefield next time but she could easily bounce back to form and make it two from her last three. Top-weight Bombay Sapphire goes in first-time cheekpieces and takes a drop in trip, so she rates an interesting contender, while Majestic Jameela will find this easier than the Listed contest she was well held in at Doncaster and completes the shortlist.

MAJESTIC JAMEELA has her sights lowered for her handicap debut and the 4-y-o could be the way to go. Gearing's Point and returning 2022-winner Eventful are a couple of the other likely players.

If coping with her first run on soft ground, GEARING'S POINT should be a major player on her handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card

A recent switch in stables could be just the tonic to revive JUMEIRA VISION and, given he is a previous course winner off this mark, dropping back in trip is an enticing incentive to support the son of Iffraaj on debut for the Katie Scott yard. Local Music is feared most after a close second over C&D latest, while Fieldsman has been in flying form over 7f lately and can again go well if coping with this extra yardage. Island Native also enters calculations.

A few in with a squeak but the vote goes to LOCAL MUSIC, who has hit the crossbar on both recent visits over C&D and Matt Crawley's filly can deservedly go a place better and open her account. Island Native arrives in fine form, so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, while veteran Fieldsman and King of Speed can fight out third spot.

The suggestion here is ISLAND NATIVE, who put a below par effort behind him last time and should appreciate the return to further.
Class & Speed Card

Experimenting with headgear worked the oracle for WAKE UP HARRY at Kempton on his penultimate start and, having posted a near miss over this C&D latest, the son of Le Havre looks worth another chance with cheekpieces now swapped for blinkers. The consistent Mumayaz, who has finished second in five of his last six starts, is feared most, while Big Narstie is likely to be competitive, despite this being much tougher than some of his more recent assignments.

Mick Appleby's BIG NARSTIE arrives in great nick so is fancied to resume winning ways reverted to handicap company off a handy-looking mark. Plumette wasn't seen to best effect when fourth here last time and is feared most, although Dion Baker and Swiss Rowe also need considering.

Preference is just for WAKE UP HARRY, who was a little too free here last time but can benefit from the fitting of blinkers.
Class & Speed Card

A wealth of precocious talent has emerged from the Karl Burke yard over the last 12 months and it's very likely we can add ANCIENT MYTH to the list of horses to follow with the new turf season looming. This son of Camelot cost 425,000gns as a yearling and, with a stellar pedigree leaning towards effectiveness over middle distances, he is too hard to ignore here. Cupid's Dream is the pick of the Godolphin-owned pair, although Endless Victory could be anything, so a betting check is advised.

CUPID'S DREAM looked a useful prospect when a close third at Kempton on debut and sets a high standard. His stablemate Endless Victory is a brother to the very smart Cross Counter so may emerge as the biggest threat in what is potentially a good novice.

Form pick CUPID'S DREAM is first choice. Bursinel is still respected with further progress a strong possibility.
Class & Speed Card

A comfortable winner over C&D on his penultimate start, MAREFUORI still looks off a workable mark on his return and he should be capable of going in again. Runner-up on his last two starts, including here last time out, Brodie's Boy may have improvement to come over further, while Livinthelife has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate success over C&D last month.

None of these can be ruled out but Marco Botti's MAREFUORI returns from a break on a lenient mark so is taken to bag a second C&D success. In-form duo Give It Up and Livinthelife can both have a say too and chase home the selection in that order.

As regards the two handicap debutants, BRODIE'S BOY looks better treated and more solid than Etretat on bare form.
Class & Speed Card

Now that the penny has finally dropped for TRIBAL WISDOM after a taking success at Lingfield, there should be much more to come from the Ian Williams' charge and he can follow up off a 7lb higher mark. That may be at the main expense of Romilda, who has been in consistent form lately without getting her head in front, and Great Blasket.

TRIBAL WISDOM ran out a ready winner at Lingfield 4 weeks ago and could well be the type to run up a sequence now he's refound his form. Romilda was only just denied at Lingfield last week and is an obvious threat off the same mark, while Great Blasket should be in the mix again.

In-form maiden ROMILDA (nap) appears to be ahead of the assessor and is taken to open her account. Tribal Wisdom is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

The key piece of form to focus on in this contest is BELLA BLUESKY beating Miss Sligo (second) by a length at Southwell last week and the former is 4lb worse off this time around. That said, the daughter of Dylan Thomas is unexposed over this trip and could take a step forward to go in again. As for the latter, she looks like the main threat once again. Of the remainder, Fandabidozi appeals most after his fourth over C&D last time.

MISS SLIGO finished a length behind Bella Bluesky when first and second in a similar event at Southwell last week but she can reverse the placings on 4 lb better terms. Rebecca West is best of the rest.

The rematch between Miss Sligo and Bella Bluesky could go either way. DELVEY is preferred, ahead of Jenny Ren.
Class & Speed Card

Starsong benefitted from positive tactics to produce a shock to score by over a length here last week and it would be no surprise to see her go close, despite having a 5lb penalty to carry. However, the vote goes to DARLO PRIDE, who just failed by a neck into second in this grade at Lingfield on his latest outing and he is only 1lb higher for that effort. The four-year-old very rarely runs a bad race and looks like a solid choice. The Tron completes the shortlist.

DARLO PRIDE pushed the winner all the way at Lingfield 10 days ago and looks ready to resume winning ways. Luke Morris got a good tune out of Starsong when scoring here last week and is next best under a penalty, with The Tron another to consider.

Off a workable mark, MUNIFICENT could well record a second success in this contest. Wedgewood is second choice.
