14:20 Catterick Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (15/2 -50%) Could Be Trouble	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(1) Could Be Trouble 15/2, Hurdles/chase winner who was placed on first 3 starts of this season, including when second in a 7-runner 25.3f handicap hurdle here in November. Below par last time but can be excused that (race may have come too soon) and she's a live each-way candidate. Not the force of old but was second off 3lb higher here in November; can't rule out.
2	7 2nd (7) (28/1 +44%) Bridgetjoans	28 28/1(+44%)	(7) Bridgetjoans 28/1, Showed a bit in 3 qualifying runs before Christmas but she's hard to warm to based on her handicap debut display at Newcastle. Visor applied. Soundly beaten (albeit on heavy ground) when 66-1 for handicap debut; visor now added.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 -50%) Zwicky	6 6/1(-50%)	(3) Zwicky 6/1, Perfect start to this season, bagging back-to-back handicaps at Sedgefield and Carlisle before finishing a solid third of 15 off this mark at Doncaster. Ran no sort of a race tried over 3m last time but likely to be in the thick of things if on-song back down in trip here. Ran as though something was amiss last time but can resume earlier progress if all is well.
4	10 4th (10) (14/1 -40%) Misty Mani	14 14/1(-40%)	(10) Misty Mani 14/1, Won 3 on the bounce in 2022 and returned to form following a string of underwhelming efforts when going close at Market Rasen in September then finishing third over this C&D. Lesser effort last time, though, and should could do with the ground drying out. Placed over C&D in December; a possible if the ground dries out.
5th	13 5th (13) (12/1 +14%) Feach Amach	12 12/1(+14%)	(13) Feach Amach 12/1, Fair maiden on the Flat for Jim Bolger and improved plenty on opening hurdles exploits when landing a Sedgefield juvenile in November. Hasn't built on that in 2 subsequent starts, though, and others make more appeal. Just a respectable third in Sedgefield handicap last month and effectively 1lb higher here.
6th	8 6th (8) (15/2 +25%) Lifetime Legend	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(8) Lifetime Legend 15/2, Below par since winning this race 12 months ago but he's been given a real chance by the handicapper (11 lb lower in the weights this time round) and perhaps the return to this venue will do the trick. Needs considering. Won this race off 1lb higher a year ago but not firing on all cylinders this season.
7th	9 7th (9) (15/2 -25%) Belle Na Bann	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(9) Belle Na Bann 15/2, Dual winner for Neil Mulholland in summer 2022 and back on track for Micky Hammond when scoring at Newcastle in December and over 15.7f here on New Year's Day. Below par last time but she's on a similar mark to that off which she was runner-up in this race last year, so there's cause for optimism. Dual winner this winter; not at best last time, though, and probably needs a career best.
8th	5 8th (5) (2/1 +47%) Out Of Focus	2 2/1(+47%)	(5) Out Of Focus 2/1, Bumper winner who has finished in the money on each of is 3 starts since switched to handicaps, most recently finishing third at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) where he weakened in the closing stages after holding every chance 2 out. This sharper track may well aid his cause. Made the frame in first three handicaps and is a likely contender again.
9th	4 9th (4) (13/2 +59%) Gustoso	6.5 13/2(+59%)	(4) Gustoso 13/2, Well beaten sole outing in bumpers but did offer promise on second of 3 starts in maiden/novice company when fourth at Wetherby in November. However, latest effort at Ludlow was uninspiring and sizeable step forward needed now pitched into a handicap. Pulled up last time but his first two hurdle runs were encouraging; handicap debut today.
10th	6 10th (6) (22/1 -57%) The Vollan	22 22/1(-57%)	(6) The Vollan 22/1, Veteran who was safely held on his first run over hurdles for the best part of 2 years at Newcastle in January. Regressive 10yo; didn't run badly over hurdles two starts ago but others appeal more.
11th	11 11th (11) (50/1 -213%) Rouse	50 50/1(-213%)	(11) Rouse 50/1, Only poor form in bumpers and has made little impact both completed starts over hurdles so far. Needs to raise his game considerably now venturing into handicap company. Showed no significant promise in his qualifying races but may fare better in handicaps.

Belle Na Bann and Zwicky are both on recovery missions after running below-par on their latest outings, but either would prove dangerous is bouncing back to form. Out Of Focus also enters calculations having posted several creditable efforts in defeat and the six-year-old should be in the mix once more. Nevertheless, Henry Daly has his string in fine fettle and there is a sneaking suspicion that handicap debutant GUSTOSO could be ahead of his mark.

It could be worth chancing LIFETIME LEGEND, who hasn't been firing on all cylinders of late but he's now 11 lb below the mark off which he beat Belle Na Bann in convincing fashion in this race last season. Zwicky needs to bounce back following a shocker at Southwell but he was in good order prior to that and is second choice ahead of Out of Focus and Misty Mani. If Molto Bene were to line up she would warrant serious consideration but she is due to run at Plumpton on Monday.

Another chance is given to ZWICKY, has now been a beaten favourite three consecutive times but may still resume his earlier progress.

1	2 1st (2) (10/11 +60%) Wewillgowithplanb	0.909091 10/11(+60%)	(2) Wewillgowithplanb 10/11, Ex-Irish hurdle winner who did the job well on his fencing debut at Fontwell (17.8f) last March. Back to that sort of form when third of 8 in handicap chase at Hereford (16f, good to soft) latest and can race off same mark here. Promising chaser who has won on soft and lost little in defeat when 3rd at Hereford.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/10 -38%) Hatos	1.1 11/10(-38%)	(3) Hatos 11/10, Off the mark in this sphere at Ffos Las (16f) earlier this month and improved on that when following up in 4-runner handicap chase at Wincanton (15.7f, heavy) 10 days ago. Looks the one to beat. All 3 wins on heavy, the latest two readily over fences; good chance of hat-trick.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -243%) Nambiti	12 12/1(-243%)	(1) Nambiti 12/1, Fairly useful over hurdles/fences in France but came down 3 out on Hereford debut for Venetia Williams back in November 2022 and was pulled up at Sandown the following month. Switches to chasing on first start since and yard is more than capable of getting one ready after a layoff. Won 2 of last 5 chases in France, latest in 2021; non-completer in 2 hurdle runs for yard.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

HATOS followed up his Ffos Las triumph with another cosy success at Wincanton 10 days ago and, despite a further 6lb hike in the ratings, Anthony Honeyball's charge looks well placed to complete the hat-trick. Wewillgowithplanb ought to give another good account of himself, while Nambiti hasn't been seen since being pulled up in a Pertemps Qualifier at Sandown in December 2022 but he is worth a market check on his return.

HATOS is going the right way over fences and can complete the hat-trick. Wewillgowithplanb looks the safest option for the forecast.

The proven ability of HATOS on heavy ground swings things in his favour but Wewillgowithplanb is unlikely to be a pushover.

1	1 1st (1) (6/5 +47%) Prairie Wolf	1.2 6/5(+47%)	(1) Prairie Wolf 6/5, Largely progressive over hurdles and improved for switch to chasing, off the mark at second attempt at Doncaster (20.5f) in December. Solid fourth at Cheltenham subsequently (strong form) and very much of interest from same mark back down in grade. Eased-down winner at Doncaster in December and ran well in hot Cheltenham race last month.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 -78%) Carrigeen Castle	4 4/1(-78%)	(4) Carrigeen Castle 4/1, Maiden over hurdles but, having won an Irish point before joining Micky Hammond, showed much-improved form to land back-to-back handicap chase contests at around this trip in recent months. Hit with 10 lb rise for latest success but unlikely he's reached his limit just yet. Hiked up in grade after two Class 5 wins but still respected in current mood.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/3 +0%) Cerendipity	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(3) Cerendipity 10/3, Fairly useful winner over hurdles and built on an encouraging start in this sphere when getting off the mark at Wetherby in November. Backed it up with a solid third at Doncaster thereafter but found his jumping holding him back subsequently. Has point to prove after two non-completions but is on a good mark and can't be ignored.
4	5 4th (5) (16/1 -45%) American Gerry	16 16/1(-45%)	(5) American Gerry 16/1, Successful twice over hurdles in 2021/22 but hasn't managed to find any progress since and offered little on chase debut last time. Has had wind op. Pulled up on chasing debut but has become dangerously well handicapped on hurdling form.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (15/2 -88%) Blue Fin	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(2) Blue Fin 15/2, Hurdles winner who shaped promisingly when runner-up on return/chase debut at Carlisle (20f) in November. Disappointed back at that venue the following month but no surprise to see a better showing back from 72 days off. Flopped last time but was second to a smart rival on seasonal/chase debut in November.

Carrigeen Castle has really hit his stride since being campaigned over fences, as evidenced when completing a double at Wetherby earlier this month. However, a 10lb rise for that latest victory does demand more and it could be worth taking a punt on the downgraded PRAIRIE WOLF. Sue Smith's gelding was far from disgraced when fourth in class 2 company at Cheltenham and he has enjoyed success on the hurdles course at this venue. Blue Fin should appreciate this stiffer test and is also noted.

Having won impressively on his penultimate start at Doncaster, PRAIRIE WOLF acquitted himself with plenty of credit when fourth in the Timeform Novices' Handicap Chase at Cheltenham 31 days ago, tiring late on having pressed an upwardly-mobile sort from the off. He's well worth another chance given the strength of that race. Carrigeen Castle is progressing at a rate of knots himself and is feared in his hat-trick bid. Blue Fin completes the shortlist.

The pick is PRAIRIE WOLF, who followed his comfortable Doncaster win with a creditable fourth in a hot Cheltenham handicap last month.

1	3 1st (3) (7/4 +0%) Martalmix'jac	1.75 7/4(+0%)	(3) Martalmix'jac 7/4, Scored at Stratford (19.5f) in October and arrives on the back of an excellent second to Natty Night in handicap chase here (20f, heavy) 5 weeks ago. Player off an unchanged mark. Closely matched with Natty Night on 2m4f form here; well worth another go at 2m6f.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 +44%) Wide To West	5 5/1(+44%)	(5) Wide To West 5/1, Little form under Rules so easy to look elsewhere. Not beaten far on chase debut over 2m7f but pulled up on next 2 starts; best watched.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/3 +63%) Jack Doyen	3.333333 10/3(+63%)	(4) Jack Doyen 10/3, Scored over fences at Warwick last spring but hasn't been in the same form since, tried in this headgear when well held at Southwell latest. Won 2m4f chase last March; nothing doing of late, including with headgear switch latest.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (9/4 -13%) Natty Night	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(1) Natty Night 9/4, Ran well when runner-up at Hereford and went one place better to open his account over fences here (20f) last month, asserting final 100 yds. Easy to excuse latest run so considered. Lesser run over 3m1f latest but good 2m4f win here previously; this trip should be fine.

Although NATTY NIGHT struggled at Hereford last time, he was comfortably clear of Martalmix'jac (second) when the pair met over 2m4f here last month, and a 3lb swing might not be enough to see the latter reverse that form. Jack Doyen is now 9lb lower than when winning at Warwick in March last year and he should not be underestimated.

FLEMEN'S TIPPLE (declared 15.55 Plumpton Monday) made a positive start over hurdles when fourth at Market Rasen and shades the vote over Natty Night, who didn't have things go right for him from an early stage at Hereford 2 weeks ago. Martalmix'jac was a good second to Natty Night over C&D 5 weeks ago and is another to consider.

Little between NATTY NIGHT and Martalmix'jac on their 2m4f form here in January but the former was the one who found the most.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5/2 +38%) Chase A Fortune	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(2) Chase A Fortune 5/2, Made the most of a good opportunity in maiden hurdle here 12 months ago and best effort since when third in handicap here on New Year's Day. Has since had a breathing op. Makes chase debut (has the size to make a chaser). Took step back in right direction when placed over hurdles here last month; chase debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 +0%) Treaty Boy	2 2/1(+0%)	(3) Treaty Boy 2/1, Placed both starts between the flags and left novice hurdle form behind when making a winning handicap/chase debut over C&D last month. Has since left Rebecca Menzies. Open to improvement over fences (far less exposed than these rivals). Comfortable C&D winner on this month's chase/handicap debut; now with new stable.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 +33%) Beat The Edge	4 4/1(+33%)	(6) Beat The Edge 4/1, Should have won at Sedgefield on Boxing Day, turning it in once hitting the front, and found run of good form coming to an abrupt halt at Newcastle 4 weeks ago. Risky. Below form last month but placed three times (once over C&D) at end of 2023.
4	1 4th (1) (28/1 +15%) Kalkas	28 28/1(+15%)	(1) Kalkas 28/1, Fairly useful chaser at best for Henry de Bromhead but showed very little both starts for new yard after 20 months off. Headgear on. Well beaten on both starts for new stable; current ability very hard to gauge.
5th	8 5th (8) (10/1 -82%) Go Fox	10 10/1(-82%)	(8) Go Fox 10/1, Won at Fakenham and Stratford last summer. Not quite at that level since but more of an impact off reduced mark when runner-up last 2 starts. Inconsistent nowadays but ran big race from the front when second at Fakenham recently.
6th	4 6th (4) (13/2 -63%) Upagainstit	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(4) Upagainstit 13/2, Runner-up sole start in Irish points and improved on his hurdles form when making a winning start in this sphere at Warwick (16.2f) last spring. However, fell at the last at Haydock on final start last season and below par both starts this term. Has dipped below winning mark. Yet to build upon last season's winning chase debut; safely held when third last time.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 -213%) Getaway Jewel	25 25/1(-213%)	(5) Getaway Jewel 25/1, Southwell winner (15.8f) in June but mixed record since, possibly amiss when last seen in October. Type to bounce back. Won last summer but not seen since a poor run in October; not one to rely upon.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (66/1 -200%) Treshnish	66 66/1(-200%)	(7) Treshnish 66/1, Showed possible signs of a revival for new connections after 9 months off (formerly with Sue Smith) when fourth of 6 in handicap chase (11/1) at Hexham (15.6f, heavy) but ran poorly at Sedgefield next time. Didn't run badly on seasonal/stable debut but tailed off since; others preferred.

TREATY BOY proved a different proposition when scoring with ease on his chase bow over C&D earlier this month. The seven-year-old is now under the tutelage of Stuart Coltherd and a 7lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent him from following up. A subsequent wind operation following Chase A Fortune's third over hurdles here in January makes him of some interest on his first foray over fences. The Cannock Chase gelding is feared most ahead of Upagainstit.

TREATY BOY proved a different model fitted with a tongue strap and sent chasing on handicap debut when value double the winning margin over C&D last month and can defy a 7 lb rise starting out for a new yard. Chase A Fortune took a step back in the right direction over hurdles here last time and has the size to make a chaser, so is next best ahead of the returning Getaway Jewel.

The most obvious answer is lightly raced 7yo TREATY BOY, who won in pretty good style over C&D on his recent chase/handicap debut.

1	5 1st (5) (5/6 +72%) Bobbi's Beauty	0.833333 5/6(+72%)	(5) Bobbi's Beauty 5/6, Successful in an Irish point and comes here having showed more than previously over hurdles when runner-up on handicap debut at Ffos Las (15.8f) 26 days ago. Feasible to think the switch to chasing could see her in a better light now. Irish point winner; modest hurdle form but switch to fences may see her in a better light.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/4 +10%) Desert Fortune	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(4) Desert Fortune 9/4, Runner-up only start in bumpers but never pulled up any trees over hurdles, pulled up at Huntingdon (25f) when last seen 11 months ago. Still, she is a former winner in points so worth noting if the market speaks in her favour now tackling larger obstacles. Irish point winner in 2022; modest hurdle form in Britain; chase debut for new yard.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 +0%) Penny Mallow	8 8/1(+0%)	(2) Penny Mallow 8/1, Bumper/hurdles winner but well below that level in 6 starts over fences so far. Making early mistakes prior to taking a heavy fall at Ffos Las (19.4f) 26 days ago. Assessor continues to relinquish his grip but percentage call to look elsewhere. Dual winning hurdler early in career; lots to prove on chase form since back from absence.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 +63%) My Girl Lollipop	6 6/1(+63%)	(3) My Girl Lollipop 6/1, Maiden who ended time with Stuart Edmunds in good form, again making the frame when third in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f) in May. However, easy to back and offered little making yard/chase debut when pulled up at Catterick (25.2f) 47 days ago. This ought to reveal more. Placed in 5 hurdles at up to 3m2f but pulled up on chase debut for new yard.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (125/1 -25%) Autumn Blaze	125 125/1(-25%)	(6) Autumn Blaze 125/1, Offered little in bumpers/over hurdles and similar story in 2 tries over fences in recent weeks. Hard to fancy from out of the weights. Yet to show much, well held in two handicap hurdles and pulled up in both chase starts.

While a few of these arrive with something to prove, it is hard to oppose LINCOLN LYN. A 5lb rise for her recent Wetherby triumph looks more than fair and she is taken to repeat the dose. Point winner Bobbi's Beauty hit the woodwork over hurdles last time and she must be of interest now sent chasing, while Penny Mallow heads the remainder.

Having finished runner-up to a subsequent winner on her penultimate start, LINCOLN LYN ran out an authoritative winner at Wetherby 33 days ago and a 5 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold showing. Chase-debutantes Desert Fortune and Bobbi's Beauty may emerge as the chief threats.

Lincoln Lyn is in good heart but winning Irish pointer DESERT FORTUNE goes chasing at a modest level for her new yard.

1	8 1st (8) (5/1 -100%) Wolfburg	5 5/1(-100%)	(8) Wolfburg 5/1, Much better effort in bumpers on the back of a breathing op when third of 12 at Carlisle in November and showed an aptitude for hurdling when fourth at Kelso (16.2f, heavy) 60 days ago. Entitled to improve. Upside Isholo Du Vivien on his switch to hurdles at Kelso (heavy) despite racing keenly.
2	7 2nd (7) (15/8 -7%) Stay If U Want To	1.875 15/8(-7%)	(7) Stay If U Want To 15/8, Showed much improved form in a first-time hood to get off the mark in bumpers at the third attempt in 10-runner event at Market Rasen (16.6f, soft) 96 days ago, leading again close home. Has leading claims on hurdle debut. Form of bumper win nothing special at all but should progress over jumps.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -67%) Isholo Du Vivien	5 5/1(-67%)	(4) Isholo Du Vivien 5/1, Point winner who bettered his rather disappointing Rules debut display in a bumper when finishing third of 11 starting out over hurdles at Kelso (16.2f, heavy) during the Christmas period. Ran to a similar level when filling same spot at Hereford subsequently. Irish point winner; beaten 11l and 7l in his two hurdles, on heavy and good to soft.
4	6 4th (6) (22/1 -10%) Rehill Relic	22 22/1(-10%)	(6) Rehill Relic 22/1, Comfortable winner of sole outing in points but was readily put in his place by the winner when second of 4 in a Haydock bumper on Rules debut and was far too keen at Carlisle last time. Makes hurdle bow. Won an ordinary British point; modest efforts in bumpers but can make a hurdler.
5th	9 5th (9) (2/1 +67%) Zero Tolerance	2 2/1(+67%)	(9) Zero Tolerance 2/1, Placed in an Irish bumper for Charles O'Brien and made the frame in 2 maiden hurdles last season. Well held on handicap debut at Ffos Las when last seen in a year ago but still needs considering in an ordinary maiden. Best form brings him into it and market should guide after a 12-month absence.
6th	2 6th (2) (33/1 +18%) Foster's Fortune	33 33/1(+18%)	(2) Foster's Fortune 33/1, Showed modest form first 2 starts in bumpers but was well held over C&D last month. Makes hurdle debut. Ability in bumpers but others have more pressing claims on this switch to hurdles.
7th	11 7th (11) (100/1 -100%) Rhiannon Ring	100 100/1(-100%)	(11) Rhiannon Ring 100/1, From a good jumping family and finished runner-up sole start in Irish points but has shown nothing in a bumper/maiden hurdle under Rules. Showed ability in a point but heavy defeats have followed under rules.
8th	1 8th (1) (12/1 -20%) Bunker Bay	12 12/1(-20%)	(1) Bunker Bay 12/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 2m), won once in 2023. Sold from William Knight's yard for 13,000 gns in October. Could have a say if taking to this discipline. 1m3f winner (Class 5) on good to soft ground last summer; should make a hurdler.
9th	12 9th (12) (100/1 -100%) National Question	100 100/1(-100%)	(12) National Question 100/1, Brother to a useful hurdler but has shown just modest form at best on the Flat, offering little at Newcastle 17 days ago. Limited Flat maiden from 5f to 1m2f (just six runs); would be a surprise winner.
10th	3 10th (3) (33/1 -32%) Gold Ring	33 33/1(-32%)	(3) Gold Ring 33/1, Modest winner at 2m on the Flat last year but has shown little in a maiden/novice hurdle. Second run over hurdles was better than the first but still has a good bit to find.
11th	5 11th (5) (100/1 -150%) Not Now Tayto	100 100/1(-150%)	(5) Not Now Tayto 100/1, Made frame both starts in Irish points but was well held on recent hurdling debut at Sedgefield. Went off at 33-1 for hurdling debut at Sedgefield and was always behind.

STAY IF U WANT TO displayed a tough attitude when taking a Market Rasen bumper in November on his third career start. The experience gained from his first couple of outings likely aided his cause and he could take advantage of what appears to be a winnable opportunity on his hurdling debut. Wolfburg is entitled to step forward from his Kelso fourth in December, while Isholo Du Vivien appeals most of the remainder.

STAY IF YOU WANT TO showed fairly useful form when making it third time lucky in bumpers at Market Rasen in November and, it's fair to assume, he'll prove hard to beat if running to a similar level on this switch to hurdling. Wolfburg and Isholo du Vivien are feared most in that order.

Jonjo O'Neill's STAY IF YOU WANT TO won a modest bumper at Market Rasen but he showed plenty of spirit to prevail.

4	4 (4) (7/1 -110%) Everything'sontick	7 7/1(-110%)	(4) Everything'sontick 7/1, Ended last term under a cloud over hurdles but made a winning start over fences at Leicester in November and backed it up with a good third of 6 in handicap at Cheltenham (25.2f, good to soft) next time. However, not so good in headgear over C&D 5 weeks ago. Engaged 3.20 Plumpton Monday. Solid C&D win on chase debut; ran poorly here last month; lucky win at Plumpton yesterday.
1	3 1st (3) (6/4 +73%) Hauraki Gulf	1.5 6/4(+73%)	(3) Hauraki Gulf 6/4, Bumper debut winner who showed fair form without getting his head in front over hurdles. However, he improved when making a winning chase debut at Sedgefield (21f) and backed that up when third in better race at Exeter. Player back down in class. Has taken well to fences, winning over 2m5f and losing little in defeat (3m) since.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 +29%) Lord Of Kerak	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(2) Lord Of Kerak 5/2, Fairly useful hurdles winner who has reached a similar level without tasting success over fences, back to best when second in 5-runner event here (20f) in December. Possibly not over those exertions at Wetherby since. Change of headgear. Career littered with breaks; no problem with the trip/ground but lifeless last time.
3	5 3rd (5) (13/8 +51%) No Tackle	1.625 13/8(+51%)	(5) No Tackle 13/8, Only second run for his current yard when getting off the mark over fences in 10-runner handicap chase over C&D (heavy) 5 weeks ago. Up 6 lb and needs considering. Likeable display when C&D winner latest on first completion for new yard; can progress.

A step up in trip over fences brought out a much-improved performance from Uttoxeter scorer HERE COMES MCCOY last month. An 8lb rise appears to be workable for the nine-year-old and he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to follow up. Hauraki Gulf could only muster a third-placed finish at Exeter on his latest outing, but a return to this level should see him prove more competitive, with last-time-out winner No Tackle completing the shortlist.

HERE COMES MCCOY was a most decisive winner on his second start over fences at Uttoxeter last month so is taken to defy an 8 lb rise. Hauraki Gulf rates the biggest threat back down in class ahead of No Tackle, who scored over C&D 5 weeks ago.

No Tackle is a promising chaser but he may have to give best to HERE COMES McCOY (nap) who won in good style at Uttoxeter.

Knocking on the door this season, though found run of good form coming to a halt last month. Type to bounce back. Below par last time but in a strong race and he had been knocking on the door.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/4 +50%) Dr Kananga	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(2) Dr Kananga 9/4, Lightly raced 10-y-o who took a big step back in the right direction off reduced mark in first-time headgear (cheekpieces) when second at Fontwell 2 weeks ago and could be ready to strike with blinkers now tried. Something of a revival last time and likely contender if taking to the new blinkers.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/2 -100%) Mister Bells	5.5 11/2(-100%)	(6) Mister Bells 11/2, Took advantage of a much-reduced mark having his first start in veterans company when scoring over C&D 5 weeks ago. Suited by the run of the race that day but was value for double the winning margin, so player up 7 lb. Back to form with a bang when winning a veterans' chase by an eased-down 12l over C&D.

Undone by mistakes in a better race at Newcastle next time but this is more realistic and a tongue tie is now on. Ayr winner but Newcastle was disappointing and yet to prove himself on ground this soft.

Turned it in big time at Haydock since and got no further than the fifth tried in this headgear at Carlisle last week. Capable chaser but jumping can be an issue as he reminded us last week.

TWOSHOTSOFTEQUILA was fancied to give a decent account in the Great Yorkshire at Doncaster but never landed a blow on that occasion when finishing down the field. The seven-year-old had been running well in defeat prior to that effort and the drop in class gives him solid claims. Dr Kananga took a step back in the right direction when runner-up at Fontwell and a change of headgear to blinkers may yield some improvement. Others to consider are East Street and Mister Bells.

DR KANANGA took a big step back in the right direction from a tumbling mark when second in first-time headgear at Fontwell 2 weeks ago and shades the vote over Mister Bells, who was value for double the winning margin in a veterans event over C&D 5 weeks ago. Everyday Champagne is another to consider back down in class.

Despite his big weight TWOSHOTSOFTEQUILA (nap) has leading claims. His penultimate piece of form was franked at the weekend.

Improving filly who is 3-4 in handicaps; return to 1m looks ideal; respected.

DAVID'S DIVA rounded off her hat-trick with a narrow Wolverhampton success 10 days ago. Rod Millman's filly is just 2lb higher and, with a return to further likely to suit, she can continue the winning trend. Plumette has dropped to an appealing mark and she might offer some value to those looking to take on the selection, while Intoxicata, who hit the frame at Lingfield four days ago, is respected too.

DAVID'S DIVA did well to overcome the widest stall at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and, on that evidence, a 2 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the 4-timer. Plumette is interesting from her current mark and has been shaping up well of late, with Aim For The Moon another not to take lightly.

Back up to 1m DAVID'S DIVA could well continue her progress and complete a four-timer. Aim For The Moon is second choice.

Pulled up in handicap chases on first 2 starts of this season but placed back in hunter company the last twice and he merits respect. Second in Foxhunters' at Aintree last April but not in the same form this winter.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/1 -175%) Hardline	11 11/1(-175%)	(6) Hardline 11/1, Winless under Rules since landing a Grade 1 novice chase at Limerick back in 2018 but has scored 3 times between the flags since, the latest in December. Positives to glean from his effort in a hunter at Thurles (24.6f, heavy) last month and this Irish raider is not discounted. Last three wins in points; tough task at Thurles latest but well adrift.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/3 -33%) Cat Tiger	3.333333 10/3(-33%)	(2) Cat Tiger 10/3, Useful chaser at his best for Paul Nicholls, winner of this in 2021 and found just one too good in the 2022 Aintree Foxhunters'. Limited to just 5 starts since and blotted his copybook when running out on debut for this yard at Hereford last month following a short stint in France. Won this in 2021; in good form in France but ducked out latest; good claims.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 -80%) Espoir De Teillee	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(3) Espoir De Teillee 9/2, Smart handicap chaser on his day and bolted up when making all in this last year. Also successful at Kempton last season and, having showcased his wellbeing with a point win earlier this month, he has to be taken seriously. Won this last year (good); mixed form on soft these days and unraced on heavy.
5th	7 5th (7) (33/1 -106%) Shang Tang	33 33/1(-106%)	(7) Shang Tang 33/1, Fairly useful chaser who produced his best effort since joining this yard when second in a 5-runner affair at Ludlow (23.8f, soft). That was just his second start in a hunter and will probably pick up a race soon but others make more appeal here. Second at Ludlow (3m, soft) recently but that was ordinary form; up against it.

Didn't fully see things out under an aggressive ride upped to 29.2f at Warwick (soft) and he's of strong interest back down in trip on this hunter debut. Many excellent efforts since he win in 2022, over regulation and the big Aintree fences.

Formerly useful but 1-11 over fences; well-held last of 4 in a point for new connections.

Although CAT TIGER comes with risks attached having ran out at the eighth fence at Hereford last month, the veteran has some smart form in the book. The Diamond Boy gelding will prove tough to beat if running to his best and he edges the verdict over Percussion. Representing the Laura Morgan yard, the nine-year-old posted a respectable fifth in the Classic Chase at Warwick in January. Espoir De Teillee makes most appeal of the remainder.

PERCUSSION is of strong interest on his first start in a hunter and he is marginally preferred to last year's winner of this race, Espoir de Teillee, who should be spot-on for a repeat bid on the back of his success between the flags. Bennys King should also have a part to play, but while Cat Tiger would be a big threat if at his best, he arrives here with a bit to prove.

Percussion looks sure to go well but the 2021 winner CAT TIGER is preferred, despite having ducked out at Hereford recently.

SHANTOU MOON was just denied when attempting for back-to-back C&D victories at the start of the month having potentially hit the front sooner than ideal. If able to be produced later, a 4lb rise for that neck defeat is unlikely to make too much of a difference. Burrows Hall brings a consistent level of form to the table and may benefit from stepping up in trip, while Lincoln Burrows and Accidental Legend can fight it out for the minor honours.

SHANTOU MOON has upped his game here in recent starts and gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Lincoln Burrows and Burrows Hall rate the principal dangers.

A few with chances. ACCIDENTAL LEGEND is Fergal O'Brien's only runner on the card and looks ready for today's stiffer test of stamina.

This looks to be a golden opportunity for INGLEBY ARCHIE, who produced a consistent level of form on the turf last year. He has a 148-day absence to overcome but, with the opposition requiring improvement, that is unlikely to stop the son of James Garfield. Bingley Crocker, who drops in class, is the main danger, for all that he must concede weight all round. Big Blue Boy appeals most of the remainder.

It's pretty much impossible to oppose INGLEBY ARCHIE on these terms. He made the frame all five starts in maiden/novice company as a juvenile and while he is unproven on the all-weather, the fact that his dam was successful on synthetics augurs well. Bingley Crocker gets the nod ahead of Please Please Me for forecast purposes.

This looks a good opportunity for the consistent INGLEBY ARCHIE to get off the mark. Big Blue Boy is second choice.

A reproduction of ISKANDAR PECOS' recent second at Haydock is likely to see the six-year-old gaining a breakthrough victory in this sphere. The gelded son of Jeu St Eloi boasts some smart point-to-point form and is hard to oppose. Stablemate The Creadan Rogue has been in fair form between the flags of late and he may fare best of the remaining rivals, ahead of Fine Investment.

It's hard to get away from ISKANDAR PECOS, who ran a cracker on his Rules debut in a stronger contest at Haydock recently. Fine Investment and Ultra Viers may be the ones to chase him home.

10th	1 10th (1) (25/1 -79%) Ali Jewels	25 25/1(-79%)	(1) Ali Jewels 25/1, Winner at Yarmouth in September. 100/1, first run since leaving William Jarvis when last of 11 in handicap at this C&D 33 days ago. Finished last over C&D on debut for new yard; still has something to prove on AW.
11th	6 11th (6) (9/1 -80%) Mutabaahy	9 9/1(-80%)	(6) Mutabaahy 9/1, Modest gelding. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (5f, 15/2) 7 days ago. Can make presence felt. Good second at Newcastle last week; has a modest record at Southwell.

A chance can be taken on MUTABAAHY, who hit the woodwork in a similar contest at Newcastle a week ago. He would not need to find much more to go one better, though stablemate Another Angel, who also occupied the runner-up spot at Gosforth Park last Tuesday, should throw down a stern challenge. Street Life defeated the aforementioned pair under Jack Enright earlier this month and must be taken seriously too.

SIR BENEDICT is in better heart than his recent form figures suggest and could be worth chancing to end his losing run. Veteran stablemates Mutabaahy and Another Angel head the dangers.

The percentage call goes to STREET LIFE, who has a good strike-rate at Southwell. Trulie Good is second choice.

1	2 1st (2) (7/2 +22%) Dunstan	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(2) Dunstan 7/2, Course winner. 10/11, career best when winning 3-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 10 days ago by length from Bradman. Mark unchanged and has to be respected in his hat-trick bid. Quirky but he's 2-2 since wearing a visor and AW record now reads 5222211; solid claims.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/11 -10%) Majed	0.909091 10/11(-10%)	(1) Majed 10/11, Promising sort. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, won 11-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 3/1), keeping on well. Off 94 days and up in trip for this handicap debut. Likely to improve. Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton three months ago; form has substance.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 -33%) Flickering Halo	10 10/1(-33%)	(3) Flickering Halo 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 7 in minor event at this C&D (33/1) 49 days ago. Type to do better now handicapping but he's likely to find one or two of these too good. Close third over C&D last time; possibilities kept to same scenario on handicap debut.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -100%) Bradman	12 12/1(-100%)	(5) Bradman 12/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 13/8, length second of 3 to Dunstan in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 10 days ago. Should make his presence felt once again. Latest effort (behind Dunstan) took his record in cheekpieces to 41122; solid chance.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 +11%) Torrent	4 4/1(+11%)	(4) Torrent 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 7 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 3/1) 17 days ago. In good hands and goes handicapping off a realistic mark but improvement is certainly needed. Has shown consistent promise at maiden/novice level; open to improvement in handicaps.

MAJED benefited from first-time cheekpieces when getting off the mark at Wolverhampton in November and the step up in trip on handicap debut promises to unlock further improvement, especially based on the dam's side of his pedigree. Dunstan (first) got the better of Bradman (second) at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and they are expected to be in the mix once again.

The one with the most striking potential is MAJED, who beat next-time-out winner Bold Style in decisive fashion at Wolverhampton when last seen in November and he should have plenty more to offer now faced with a stiffer test on this handicap debut. Hat-trick seeker Dunstan got the better of Bradman in a three-runner affair recently and is taken to master that rival once again, and emerge as the main danger to Majed.

This race comprises three interesting handicap debutants and two solid performers. First choice is MAJED, ahead of Torrent.

Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Losing run goes back to debut win in 2020; not the percentage call.

Back from 4-month absence when creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at same course (7.1f) 19 days ago. Entitled to build on that.

Interesting back down in distance with Newcastle reappearance under his belt.
8th	5 8th (5) (22/1 -57%) Buraback	22 22/1(-57%)	(5) Buraback 22/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago, met some trouble. Others preferred. Below best in two runs for new stable but has become attractively treated.

TEES GEORGE may have just needed his return from a break when fourth at Newcastle earlier this month and the four-year-old, who had scored at the same venue the time before, could have more to offer. Captain Cooper has to be respected dropping back a furlong after being well supported when fourth on his first start for new connections recently. Others for the shortlist include My Boy Jack and Midnightattheoasis.

TEES GEORGE is still relatively low mileage and made a pleasing return from a break at Newcastle earlier this month. He is taken to score. Captain Cooper and Midnightattheoasis should also go well.

Kept to 7f TEES GEORGE has particularly solid claims and he remains unexposed at this distance. Captain Cooper is second choice.

DAAFY has returned to form at this track recently as a win here in January was followed by a runner-up effort last time. With most of his rivals seemingly out of sorts at present, this appears to be a good opportunity for the seven-year-old to continue in a rich vein of form. Fortuitous Star ran well fresh last year and is capable of a decent showing, while Connected is likely to bounce back from his latest run when a beaten favourite at Lingfield.

BROTHER DAVE posted his best effort yet when putting in good late work to finish second at Newcastle last week and he is taken to get the job done this time. Daafy goes well here and looks set for another prominent role, while Kodebreaker has edged down to a workable mark and is third choice ahead of Spartan Fighter.

Being a course specialist whose 2024 form has substance, DAAFY (nap) holds very strong claims. Kodebreaker is second choice.

A breakthrough victory in a classified stakes event should have done VELVET VULCAN's confidence the world of good. A 5lb penalty on this switch to handicap company appears workable given the manner of that triumph and a quick-fire double could be on the cards. Trusty Scout has posted several creditable efforts in defeat at this level of late and Derek Shaw's gelding is feared most, although an improved effort from the distance-dropping Destinado wouldn't be a surprise either.

Preference is for VELVET VULCAN, who won in decisive fashion at Lingfield last week and still looks feasibly treated, despite a 5 lb penalty. Trusty Scout and Destinado head the list of dangers.

In-form VELVET VULCAN is taken to build on his Lingfield success and defy a 5lb penalty. Defence Treaty is second choice.

Although stable debutant Mintnthat warrants respect in his hat-trick bid, the five-year-old must prove his stamina now upped in distance. With that in mind, it may pay to take chance on BRISTOL HILL. The six-year-old returned to form with a solid third at Newcastle recently and he is sure to be doing his best work at the finish over this shorter trip. The reappearing Tigerten and Prince Hector also warrant a second look.

BRISTOL HILL isn't the easiest of conveyances, but he comes here lurking on a handy mark and with Oisin Murphy an eye-catching booking, he could be ready to strike. Sky Dancer is less exposed than most and rates a threat along with the hat-trick seeking Mintnthat. Bond Spirit is another not out of things.

Bond Spirit has another good run in him on this track but BRISTOL HILL gets the vote with Oisin Murphy up for the first time.

Jumira Bridge justified strong support in the market when landing an 11th career victory at Wolverhampton earlier this month. However, a 5lb rise in the handicap may leave the veteran vulnerable and recent C&D scorer MAY REMAIN makes more appeal. The gelded son of Mayson is only 3lb higher than for that victory 12 days ago, which might not be enough to prevent him from following up. Sassy Redhead was behind the selection in second that day and she's likely to be in the mix as well.

IGNAC LAMAR hasn't been the most consistent in recent months but he lines up here having ran well when third from a tumbling mark at Wolverhampton 32 days ago and he could be worth chancing back at the scene of his last success. Toptime, who ran out a good winner over 5f here last time is feared, with Sassy Redhead and May Remain others to consider in what rates a competitive affair.

Ignac Lamar is respected but SPRING ROMANCE retains ability since his absence and the likely strong pace will suit now back at 6f.
