Class & Speed Card

LEADER IN THE PARK failed to fire on his most recent outing at Ascot, but the six-year-old can be given another chance based on his debut effort under Rules when second at the same venue in November. Grand Albert was not disgraced on his first start over hurdles at Market Rasen last month and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Gentleman's Relish and Jukebox Fury.

There should be more to come from ENTITY OF SUBSTANZ, particularly now granted a stiffer test of stamina, and he gets the nod in the opener. Gentleman's Relish and Leader In The Park are feared most.

Leader In The Park brings clearly the best form but was below form last time. Watch out also for ENTITY OF SUBSTANZ.
Class & Speed Card

LIGHTKEEPER was beaten out of sight into second by Mercurey, who looks a very promising type, and, prior to that, he was denied by seven lengths by Tullyhill, who went on to record a Listed success here on Sunday. Gordon Elliott's gelding doesn't come up against anything like that opposition in this contest and can go one better. Milo Lises' run at Limerick was too bad to be true last time and he could easily bounce back to get involved, while Red Glory may have come forward for his Fairyhouse reappearance.

FAULTY hasn't been seen since slipping up in a similar event here 12 months ago and this represents a good opportunity if retaining his ability. Lightkeeper is next best ahead of Military Alliance.

Dual maiden hurdle runner-up LIGHTKEEPER has a lot less to beat today that Tullyhill or Mercurey and he can take advantage
Class & Speed Card

LINDY REILLY outran big odds to make the frame on her debut over C&D in December and she would have learned a lot. Dan Skelton's mare is less exposed than most of her rivals and can get off the mark. The main danger might be Golden Maverick, who was a fair performer on the Flat before switching to the Jamie Snowden yard, and his second at Catterick earlier in the month gives him a strong chance. Of the remainder, Ffos Las runner-up Zoeman appeals most on his return from the sidelines.

GOLDEN MAVERICK was a big improver on the Flat for Ian Williams in 2023 (5-time handicap winner) and while he was unable to land the odds when finishing runner-up on his hurdling debut at Catterick recently, this looks a good opportunity to go a place better. Lindy Reilly finished with running left on her hurdling bow here 9 weeks ago, so she's put forward as the main threat, with Gentleman Jacques and Zoeman also considered.

Catterick runner-up GOLDEN MAVERICK may well go one better and add to his Flat wins. Lindy Reilly is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

SNOWY EVENING has won two of his last three starts and a 6lb rise for the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop him here. That said, Fete Champetre also won on his most recent outing and could give the selection plenty to think about. Others who make the shortlist are Maninsane, Rath Gaul Hill and William Of York.

SNOWY EVENING is on the upgrade over fences now and can make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts in this sphere. Fete Champetre had a bit more in hand than the bare margin suggests at Musselburgh so is next best ahead of chase debut winner Jazz King, who remains with potential starting out for a new yard after 11 months off.

Topweight SNOWY EVENING (nap) is 2-2 at Doncaster and taken to maintain his unbeaten record at this venue.
Class & Speed Card

Any market support for point-to-point winner Majestic Force should be noted on her Rules debut, after she changed hands for 120,000 pounds at the Cheltenham sales in December. However, preference is for DR EGGMAN, who has plenty of experience on his side and he produced another solid display to hit the crossbar when stepping up to this trip at Navan. The son of Saint Des Saints looks well placed to get off the mark over timber. Notkeepinyagoing has shown some ability and can fight it out for the minor honours.

A useful sort in bumpers, DR EGGMAN took a step forward from his hurdles debut effort when runner-up over this trip at Navan 32 days ago and with further progress likely, he can make it third time lucky in this sphere. Majestic Force, a winner of her only start in points is worth a look on her respective Rules debut. Big Stage and Practice Run complete the shortlist.

it may pay to side with the de Bromhead track newcomer MAJESTIC FORCE, impressive in his sole point for Robert Tector
Class & Speed Card

Malaita failed to justify favouritism when beaten 10 lengths into second over track and trip, and she takes a step up in grade but could still get involved. However, the vote goes to top-weight PLENTY OF TIME, who showed a liking for first-time cheekpieces when bolting up at Wincanton on Boxing Day. The eight-year-old now has a 4lb higher rating to contend with, but may have been let off lightly by the handicapper and can record a double. Ottoline completes the shortlist.

Having finished a good second on return at Ffos Las, GAZETTE BOURGEOISE shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests at Newbury subsequently (bad mistake 4 out) and she could be the way to go with cheekpieces refitted. Malaita and Plenty of Time head the dangers, with Terresita another not out of things.

Back against her own sex, solid contender MALAITA (nap) could well open her chase account. Terresita is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

MOKA DE VASSY struggled in a valuable race at Lingfield last time but the six-year-old is only 1lb higher than when winning at Taunton prior to that. With that in mind, Jane Williams' gelding can be given another chance in this company. Johnson's Blue did not take to fences on his most recent outing and a better effort can be expected back over hurdles, while Blue Ridge Hill remains unexposed and is another to consider.

ROMEO BROWN has slipped to a handy mark on the pick of last season's form and could the answer back up in trip. The dangers are headed by Johnson's Blue, a progressive and most genuine hurdler, and Come on Teddy, who has a handy 7-lb conditional on board for the first time.

The front-runner JOHNSON'S BLUE returns from a break with trainer Mark Walford among the winners and he can enhance his strike-rate.
Class & Speed Card

This could prove to be a straightforward task for multiple Grade 1 winner GALA MARCEAU, who sets a lofty standard in this contest with a rating of 141. Willie Mullins' mare returned from a 251-day break to be beaten by stablemate Ashroe Diamond at Doncaster and even a repeat of that effort could be good enough to take this. The main threat is stable companion Saylavee, who finished a place in front of Hispanic Moon in a Grade 3 event at Leopardstown in December. Annalecka will need to find significant improvement.

A good opportunity for the smart GALA MARCEAU to resume winning ways despite her free-going style remaining a slight concern. Her stablemate Saylavee is feared most.

Despite giving away upwards of 9lb, it looks safest to side with double Grade 1 winner GALA MARCEAU to bounce back from Doncaster
Class & Speed Card

Little Pi produced a poor display when seeking the hat-trick at Doncaster but if he can put that effort behind him, he could get into contention off a 1lb lower mark. However, he is passed over in favour of GOWER PRINCE, who has faded out of contention in three starts for the Nigel Twiston-Davies stable but ran to market expectations on each occasion and better is expected now he enters the handicap ranks. Royal Deeside also makes his handicap bow and needs to be monitored in the market.

Juveniles ROYAL DEESIDE and Latin Verse get a chunk of weight for age and might be able to dominate this handicap, with preference for the former, who looks potentially thrown in on Flat form. Despereaux is the pick of the more exposed types.

Alan King's ROYAL DEESIDE is not the only unexposed handicap debutant but he's been running in races won by good horses.
Class & Speed Card

It's difficult to ignore EVENT OF SIVOLA, who has won two of his last three starts and can expand on the sequence with the trip and ground both ideal. Furthermore, the selection is proven at this sort of level and remains competitively weighted despite going up 7lb for his latest success. Big Blue Moon jumped big and bold when winning over hurdles on his penultimate start and is a noteworthy contender now stepped up in trip on his chasing debut. Horacio Apple's is the pick of the rest.

BETTERFOREVERYONE matched his best hurdling form when second to a subsequent winner here 6 weeks ago and can go one better off the same mark. The in-form Event of Sivola is a potential threat along with the returning Big Blue Moon, who is an interesting runner upped markedly in trip for chasing debut.

This may rest between two different types in seasonal/chase debutant BIG BLUE MOON and the experienced, in-form Event Of Sivola.
Class & Speed Card

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from TAREZE's Rules debut when splitting two promising sorts here last month. Henry de Bromhead's mare sets a strong standard on that runner-up effort and this looks a suitable opportunity for her to go one place better. Atlanticexpress, a half-sister to Lock's Corner, is a potential fly in the ointment on her racecourse bow. Any market support for the five-year-old would be interesting, while decent bumper performer Cuta Des As also warrants respect now tackling hurdles for the first time.

This will likely develop into a match between ex-pointers TAREZE and Cuta Des As, with the first-named taking preference after pulling clear of the remainder when second at this course on hurdling debut. Atlanticexpress is a notable debutant but lack of experience might hold her back.

This has the look of a match and TAREZE, with a recent second under her belt, may exploit the 8lb concession from Cuta Des As
Class & Speed Card

The form of POST CHAISE's last-time-out third over hurdles at Catterick is working out well and, the winner of a chase at Market Rasen the time before, albeit via the stewards' room, he looks to have a big chance in this contest. Didero Vallis lines up off the same mark as when runner-up at Catterick and he is likely to give another good account, while the dropped-in-class Dalamoi also holds claims.

POST CHAISE improved to score over fences at Market Rasen in November (awarded the race) and shaped well from his lower hurdles mark since, so he's the solid choice ahead of Didero Vallis, who underlined that he retains plenty of ability at Catterick. Tide Times goes well at this track and shouldn't be dismissed despite a disappointment last time.

The booking of Gina Andrews sways the vote in favour of novice chaser ROCKINASTORM. Second choice is One True King.
Class & Speed Card

Williethebuilder sets the standard based on his fourth-placed finish in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last October but he hasn't progressed much since and may be worth taking on, despite this representing another drop down in class. With that in mind, MISTER MOODLES could provide a bit of value in his bid to supplement his last-time-out C&D success. The form of that race was boosted by the runner-up winning his next start, while Lingfield winner Paradias is another to consider.

PARADIAS can go on improving as a hurdler based on his Flat form and this looks a good opportunity for him to defy a penalty. Williethebuilder is sure to pose a big threat if bouncing back from a poor run at Musselburgh, while useful bumper winner Support Act seems sure to do better on this second try over hurdles following a break.

The Dan Skelton-trained WILLIETHEBUILDER has shown some strong form and earns the vote ahead of Lingfield winner Paradias.
Class & Speed Card

An 8lb rise for Aodhan May's Navan victory earlier in the month looks more than fair and Charles Byrnes' mare warrants respect in her follow-up bid. However, DUFFYS GETAWAY looked set to regain the winning thread at Fairyhouse last month but for idling towards the finish and coming home in second. There still appears to be more races in the seven-year-old and he edges the vote. Fellow in-form rivals Cher Why Not and Kiln Time should give another good account of themselves.

Plenty in with chances but preference is for veteran CHER WHY NOT, who is holding his form really well this season and was unlucky to bump into a big improver at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. He can get the better of Aodhan May, who belied market weakness to register a first success over hurdles at Navan 10 days ago and could kick on now up and running. Native Gold and Cosmo Renfro can fight out third.

Seemingly not much fancied when winning at Navan two weeks ago, AODHAN MAY has realistic prospects of going in again off 8lb higher
Class & Speed Card

MONKS MEADOW has posted a number of solid efforts in defeat, earning him an official rating of 116, and he is fancied to open his account. Annie Express pulled well clear of the remainder when chasing home a useful-looking sort from the Paul Nicholls stable at Exeter in December and she looks an obvious threat, while Fortified Fortune adds further spice to the race. The 115,000-pound purchase was touched off by a subsequent bumper winner on his sole outing between the flags 11 months ago.

ANNIE EXPRESS should be suited by the step up in trip and is preferred to Monks Meadow, who sets a fair standard. Touchwoodexpress was a promising third in a bumper at Worcester in September so also needs considering on hurdles bow.

In terms of hurdles form, consistent MONKS MEADOW is the pick. Interesting rules debutant Fortified Fortune is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

USHUAIA DANCER was only headed after the last flight of hurdles when runner-up over 2m6f at Newcastle most recently and, despite a 2lb rise in the ratings, he looks to have a big chance cutting back in distance. Harrys Hope is steadily improving and warrants respect on her debut in handicap company, while Pilgrims King and Libor Lad are others to keep an eye on.

Having dropped in the weights, PILGRIMS KING showed that he retains his ability when third at Sedgefield 2 weeks ago and he can build on that effort to return to winning ways. Heading the list of dangers is Ushuaia Dancer, who remains capable of better making only his second start in a handicap, while Pollyonesock is one to note on her stable/handicap debut.

This looks a tough puzzle but Justin Landy's 6yo USHUAIA DANCER gets the vote on his drop back in trip.
Class & Speed Card

Getaway Master picked up plenty of minor money at Galway during the autumn but he lacks the recent run of SILENT FLIGHT, who showed his appreciation for the step up from 2m when getting off the mark over C&D and is open to plenty more improvement. Shana Cloon is the one who rises in distance now and has been threatening to win a race. Balum wasn't that far behind the selection last time and might close the gap a little.

SILENT FLIGHT took a marked step forward to justify support here last time and, with further progress on the cards, he's a solid candidate to go in again. Getaway Master and Shana Cloon, both runner-up last time, are two of several others who merit respect.

The five-year-old SHANA CLOON is more likely to be capable of improvement than many of these and may be suited by this rise in trip
Class & Speed Card

GUILLAUME won with plenty in hand to justify favouritism at Catterick last time and a 5lb rise for that nine-length success may not be enough to stop him here. That said, Famoso has proven to be a consistent performer in recent months and he should not be underestimated. Gorcombe Moonshine edges out Icarat to be best of the rest.

FAMOSO has a solid, upwardly-mobile profile over fences and would likely have gone close but for a late error here last time, so he takes marginal preference over Guillaume, who arrives on the back of a comfortable success at Catterick. Gorcombe Moonshine is also considered.

Having clocked up a good sequence in recent starts, including over C&D, FAMOSO gets the vote ahead of Gorcombe Moonshine.
Class & Speed Card

Tom Doniphon and Off To Alabama are already winners in this sphere and warrant respect, although conceding weight to some useful-looking rivals will be tough. The New Lion is certainly bred for the job, being a full-brother to smart bumper winner Kateira, and he must enter calculations on his debut, but I PLAY COUNTY gets the nod. This point-to-point scorer made a pleasing Rules bow when fourth behind subsequent Listed winner Royal Infantry over C&D last month and any improvement will see him go very close.

MONTY BODKIN disappointed on heavy ground at Aintree last time but is given another chance to build on a most promising debut at Ascot the previous month for the in-form Ben Pauling yard. Tom Doniphon and Off To Alabama are most respected after successful debuts, with I Play County and well-connected newcomer The New Lion others to consider in a strong-looking heat.

It may prove tough for the winners to concede 7lb to I PLAY COUNTY, judged on the selection's fourth in a large field over C&D.
Class & Speed Card

Harry's Dream and Real Empire made the podium behind a smart prospect of Robcour's on Thyestes day at Gowran but they bump into another interesting type in the same ownership in the shape of SERMANDZARAK, who cost 80,000 euros. The Gordon Elliott-trained four-year-old has a useful Flat pedigree, as does Godolphin cast-off Delta Force, while Colcannon offered plenty of encouragement when third at Naas and has to be feared.

SERMANDZARAK has the speed in his pedigree to be capable in this sphere and he's in top hands, so he may be up to making a successful debut at the possible expense of Colcannon, who makes most appeal of those with experience.

A good standard is set by close Naas third COLCANNON and he can go a couple of places better here
Class & Speed Card

Representing the Gary Brown yard, HANNAH'S RETURN justified strong support in the betting market when making virtually all in a similar event over 6f at Wolverhampton last month. A return to 7f should prove no issue for this dual distance winner and a double could be on the horizon. Maurices Men has been performing with credit in defeat in handicap company of late and he is feared most, ahead of fellow in-form rival Admirable Lad.

REPARTEE bounced back to form when second in a similar event at Lingfield and tops the shortlist ahead of Maurices Men and Hannah's Return.

Hannah's Return (second choice) and Maurices Men have plenty to recommend them but the formerly useful REPARTEE is preferred.
Class & Speed Card

HERAKLES WESTWOOD arrives here having racked up a hat-trick in recent months and the seven-year-old is clearly the one to beat again, despite a further 6lb rise for his most recent success. Canty Bay made the frame at Lingfield's Winter Million fixture and he could pick up more prize money, while Black Kalanisi and Le Grand Lion are others to note.

LE GRAND LION has a lengthy absence to overcome yet he returns to action from a potentially lenient mark for a yard going great guns and in a first-time tongue tie he could just be worth chancing with Harry Cobden an eye-catching booking. Herakles Westwood has developed into a most likeable sort and he's highly respected in his bid to land the 4-timer. Canty Bay is another to note with his stamina now tested further.

Herakles Westwood is firmly in the winning groove but he's taken on with CANTY BAY.
Class & Speed Card

Monterosa arguably sets the standard on her runner-up effort in a competitive handicap at Newmarket in October and the Lope De Vega filly is sure to be involved if resuming at the same level. However, there was plenty of encouragement to be taken from LOS TOLDOS' staying-on second on his debut at Wolverhampton earlier this month and he edges the vote with improvement likely. Penalised winner Encomiare may fare best of the remainder.

LOS TOLDOS shaped well on debut when runner-up to a useful prospect at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, finishing with running left, and he can build on that effort to open his account. He is taken to get the better of Monterosa, who sets the standard based on her second in a Newmarket nursery when last seen, with Encomiare completing the shortlist.

Frankel colt LOS TOLDOS finished best of the rest behind a very impressive winner on debut at Wolverhampton 11 days ago.
Class & Speed Card

SMILING SUNFLOWER did well to overcome a slow start when getting up to lead in the dying strides over C&D last week. Although Mick Appleby's mare will need to break better in this event, she looks to have more races in her, particularly on this drop in class. Uzincso posted a solid effort in defeat over track and trip in January and the eight-year-old should give another good account of himself racing off 1lb lower. Dynamic Talent is likely to be in the mix, too.

DYNAMIC TALENT went close to quickly resuming winning ways at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago despite a slow start and remains of interest. Penalised-winner Smiling Sunflower and the veteran Uzincso are others to consider.

Having pounced very late in a C&D 0-85 last week, SMILING SUNFLOWER looks the one to be on.
Class & Speed Card

Delta Legend got off the mark at Lingfield but although there was a subsequent winner back in fifth, the form may not amount to a great deal. Even so, he warrants consideration, but CEPHALUS will be hard to beat because he has just been touched off here and at Southwell since a Lingfield triumph and is clearly at the top of his game. Sea Of Charm will find this trip short enough but should be putting in her best work at the finish.

CEPHALUS tanked through the race when runner-up over C&D last time and he looks ready to strike, so he's marginally preferred to recent Lingfield scorer Delta Legend, with Sea of Charm also making the shortlist.

Gary Moore's CEPHALUS pulled nicely clear of the third when runner-up the last twice having landed a monster gamble the time before.
Class & Speed Card

Cuban Tiger was made to work hard to land the odds on his Southwell debut, but the form has been given a few boosts and the 200,000-euro colt commands attention. NOTABLE SPEECH also struck at the first time of asking but there might be a bit more merit to his C&D victory, and his stable's record in this race also helps sway the vote in his favour. Plenty more can be expected from last-start scorers Solomon and Arctic Thunder, while the more experienced Blown Away actually sets the standard with an official mark of 90.

This can go to NOTABLE SPEECH, who should have learnt plenty from his comfortable debut victory over C&D last month. Blown Away and Solomon look the likeliest dangers.

Charlie Appleby could make it three winners from three runners in this race courtesy of exciting prospect NOTABLE SPEECH.
Class & Speed Card

LOVEALOT BEAR went some way to proving her 150/1 shock here was no fluke when making the frame at Wolverhampton and given she began her career in bumpers, the rise in trip for her handicap debut should be right up her street. Avon Light made a bang in-form filly pull out all the stops at Wolverhampton, while Eleanor Cross went down by the narrowest of margins at Lingfield but was well beaten in the Winter Oaks there on her only previous start in handicap company. Fleur De Mer and Throubi are a couple more to consider.

FLEUR DE MER has done little wrong since switched to handicap company and remains on a workable mark. She gets the nod in a tricky-looking contest. Throubi and Avon Light head the list of dangers.

James Fanshawe and Daniel Muscutt bagged this with an unexposed 4yo last year and THROUBI (nap) looks a likely improver.
Class & Speed Card

The hat-trick seeking Largo Bay must be considered from just 2lb higher than his latest win. However, NAADYAA finished just a length behind the Michael Madgwick-trained top-weight when the pair clashed over this trip at Lingfield at the end of January and can turn the form around with a 4lb pull. Kingston Joy and Sao Timothy are others to consider based on improved recent form.

Having fallen plenty in the weights, LARGO BAY arrives on a hat-trick and, remaining with handicapping scope on old form, all looks set fair for another bold showing. Sao Timothy ran well at Wolverhampton last week and he's feared, with Elterwater and Fiddlers Green another pair to consider.

Elterwater still has time on her side and she's greatly respected but LARGO BAY is thriving and he can complete a quick hat-trick.
Class & Speed Card

As a 21-raced maiden DE VEGA'S WARRIOR obviously carries risk for win only purposes. However, to counter that, the five-year-old's recent form has been highly encouraging and he looks capable of giving weight and a beating to these rivals. Man Of Riddles, a surprise winner at Chelmsford on his penultimate start, can go close if adapting to the surroundings on his first run at this venue, while Natacata was second in that Chelmsford race and also enters calculations.

NATACATA probably made her effort sooner than ideal but still shaped like the best horse at the weights when reeled in late by re-opposing Man of Riddles at Chelmsford 39 days ago and she's worth a chance to confirm her present mark a good one. Legacy Power and Two Past Eight are also considered.

Legacy Power drops in class and retains potential but preference is for MAN OF RIDDLES who wasn't seen to best effect last time.

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.
