TORTURED SOUL continued his improvement on the all-weather with his best performance to date when scoring at Kempton last Wednesday. Tony Carroll's gelding arrives here 1lb well-in under a 5lb penalty and it would be no surprise to see him take another step forward. At Liberty won with some authority at Wolverhampton on Saturday and commands the utmost respect, while others to note include Restorer and Asense.

TORTURED SOUL is thriving and had plenty in hand at Kempton 8 days ago, so he gets the nod ahead of At Liberty, a similarly impressive winner last time. Awtaad Prince is another one to consider.

Last-time-out winners At Liberty and TORTURED SOUL are the most likely pair to fight it out and the latter gets the vote.
Class & Speed Card

This looks a straightforward opportunity for LARGY POET to complete a double over hurdles. Paul Nicholls' charge ran out a ready winner when making all at Exeter in January and a 7lb penalty is unlikely to burden him in this weaker affair. Kingoftheswingerz should appreciate a return to this C&D and looks best equipped to take the runner-up berth, with Simple Getaway having something to prove after a lacklustre Rules/hurdles debut at Aintree in October.

LARGY POET appeals as a useful prospect and sets a clear standard in this 3-runner event. Kingoftheswingerz will be of more interest when qualified for handicaps after this outing, whilst it's hard to know what to expect from Irish point winner Simple Getaway, who has switched yards since his underwhelming Rules debut.

This ought to be straightforward for LARGY POET, who sets a fairly useful form standard after his Exeter win and still has potential.
Class & Speed Card

YEALAND found only a rejuvenated rival too strong when thwarted in his bid to land a double at Newcastle. A 3lb rise for that performance looks more than workable and the five-year-old is fancied to regain the winning thread. Even though Seasett has yet to cut much ice in his hurdling career so far, Shark Hanlon's raider was a useful performer on the Flat and any market support for him would be interesting. Enemy At The Gate also makes some appeal now dropped in distance.

YEALAND is progressing and can get back to winning ways. St John's Road can improve herself now handicapping and looks a big player. Enemy At The Gate is another to be interested in for an in-form stable.

Jennie Candlish's improving Shirocco gelding YEALAND is taken to quickly resume winning ways after an excellent Newcastle 2nd last time
Class & Speed Card

Havana Force stepped forward from her debut third at Chelmsford when filling the runner-up spot at Newcastle and the extra furlong on this occasion is likely to aid her cause. The vote, though, goes to ROGER HENRY, who shaped encouragingly when second on his first start at Southwell and is expected to benefit from that experience. Pentacle (second) and Princess In Rome (fourth) are closely matched on their recent meeting at Southwell and the pair are entitled to be in the mix.

PRINCESS IN ROME travelled well for a long way back from 9 months off when fourth at Southwell and her pedigree points to ongoing improvement, so she's preferred to Pentacle and Havana Force, who also upped their form last time.

Sorontar can take a big step forward with his debut behind him but PENTACLE ran well at Southwell last time and can go one better.
Class & Speed Card

WINDANCE seemed set to complete a hat-trick on his return, only to unseat his rider at the last at Plumpton. The nine-year-old is effectively 5lb well-in and compensation could await if proving none the worse on this quick turnaround. Regal Blue found the drop back to 2m4f at Haydock to his liking when opening his account over the larger obstacles. He has yet to convince with his stamina beyond three miles, though, so a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of recent C&D scorer No Hubs No Hoobs.

A late mishap prevented WINDANCE making a successful return at Plumpton last month but he is able to race off the same mark and can get back on the scoreboard in the race he won last year. Gingerbred and No Hubs No Hoobs are feared most in what looks a competitive affair.

Last year's winner WINDANCE was unlucky at Plumpton last week and is 5lb well in as he bids for quick compensation.
Class & Speed Card

ROCHEVAL confirmed his promise in bumpers when running out a ready winner on his hurdling debut at Ayr in December. Lucinda Russell's gelding looks capable of defying a 7lb penalty and he can keep his unbeaten record intact. Hill Spirit may serve the most resistance to the selection if judged on his penultimate outing when scoring at Ludlow in early January. Kabuki will need to build on his fifth-placed timber bow at Newbury, but he could well do so.

Having run out an impressive winner on bumper debut, ROCHEVAL maintained his 100% record with an authoritative hurdles debut victory at Ayr in December, and with further progress expected he can make it 3-3. Hill Spirit may emerge as the chief threat if dispelling his Chepstow run.

Lucinda Russell's unbeaten Kapgarde gelding ROCHEVAL has created a favourable impression and gets a confident vote as he bids to go 3-3
Class & Speed Card

BEAUZON appreciated the return to 6f when just held at Kempton on Saturday and the five-year-old, who has already won on four occasions at Wolverhampton this year, could yet have more to offer. Muscika has been knocking on the door recently, recording runner-up efforts both over C&D and at Wolverhampton, and he is likely to be in the mix once again. The Thames Boatman, Tyger Bay and Masterclass appeal most of the remainder.

BEAUZON has already had a very productive 2024 and almost added to his tally at Kempton last week. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking contest. Muscika and The Thames Boatman head the list of dangers.

This should be run at a proper gallop and Masterclass and TYGER BAY are likely to be arriving on the scene late.
Class & Speed Card

Point-to-point winner Emily's Choice made the perfect start to her Rules career when leading all the way at Newcastle and she likely has more to offer. She does have a 7lb penalty to shoulder, which may leave her vulnerable to TWYFORD'S DIAMOND. Representing the red-hot Ben Pauling yard, the five-year-old was far from disgraced when finding two higher-rated rivals too strong at Market Rasen and a similar performance may suffice. Mavis Pike completes the shortlist.

TWYFORD'S DIAMOND is steadily getting better over hurdles and a repeat of the form she showed when third at Market Rasen 16 days ago could be enough to see her open her account at the likely expense of Emily's Choice, who is penalised for her Newcastle win three weeks ago. Mavis Pike is another one to consider.

Preference is for TWYFORD'S DIAMOND, who was a very respectable third in a much stronger race than this at Market Rasen last month.
Class & Speed Card

WILLIAM OF YORK proved a revelation in first-time cheekpieces when jumping with aplomb to open his account over fences at Doncaster. The handicapper has reacted by hiking him 10lb in the ratings, but there could be more to come from Rebecca Menzies' eight-year-old. Teescomponentsyess ran out a ready scorer at Gowran and he warrants respect in his current mood, as does dual course winner Hello Judge.

TEESCOMPONENTSYESS has been hit with an 11 lb rise for his chase victory at Gowran 3 weeks ago, yet he got the job done pretty comfortably and, with conditions in his favour, Shark Hanlon's charge looks a live player once more. Ex-French recruit Jacks Parrot is interesting on debut for a yard boasting an excellent strike rate in this sphere and along with Doncaster scorer William of York, heads up the dangers.

The vote goes to JACKS PARROT who has some fairly useful chasing form in France and can make a winning start for his excellent new yard
Class & Speed Card

Orne very much sets the standard in this contest, rated 100 after filling the runner-up berth in a Group 2 event at Doha last month, and he warrants huge respect. However, QUEEN OF ZAFEEN is taken to improve past him as even though she is rated 7lb inferior, she comes into this unbeaten after two starts. Richard Hughes' filly carried a penalty to victory in impressive fashion over C&D last time and she could take this step up in class in her stride. Habrdi readily won two handicaps last year and he has to be considered.

QUEEN OF ZAFEEN looked a useful filly in the making when scoring here last month and can extend her unbeaten run. Orne and Ahlain rate the principal dangers.

Orne has the best form but trying to concede 10lb to the promising QUEEN OF ZAFEEN may prove beyond him.
Class & Speed Card

Despite looking outpaced over 2m5f at Kempton last month, MADAKET kept on well into second. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time now and with the step back up to 3m likely to aid his chance, he gets the nod. Sporty Jim split a pair of in-form rivals at Market Rasen so he ought to hold every chance from just 2lb higher, while Burrows Park appeals most of the remainder.

The way MADAKET finished over 21f at Kempton last month strongly suggests this step back up in trip is well worth exploring and he gets the vote in a competitive handicap now tried in cheekpieces. Sporty Jim could be the danger.

If judged on the form of his heavy-ground third at Aintree two starts ago, MOONLIGHT ARTIST has strong claims here.
Class & Speed Card

As the only previous hurdles winner in the race, Maggie O is high on the shortlist from just 3lb higher than when she took a handicap at Doncaster back in November. River Robe also appeals on the pick of her Irish form and and is one to note in the betting on debut for the Max Young yard. However, BLAME ROSE showed improvement in both starts since having a wind operation and looks worth chancing given she is in receipt of plenty of weight from her main rivals.

YOU SOME GIRL has gone backwards following a promising start in handicaps, but this former fair bumper winner is worth one more chance now fitted with a first-time tongue strap. Asa and handicap-debutante Princess of Mercia are feared most in that order.

It could pay to side with Lucinda Russell's PRINCESS OF MERCIA who has shown some promise and could take a step forward now h'capping
Class & Speed Card

RABINAL beat So Chic (third) by over a length when they competed over track and trip last month and it would be a shock if that form was reversed, even with a 4lb pull for John Long's filly. The son of New Approach was well on top at the line that day and he can complete the double. As for the latter, she is likely to prove the main threat again, while last-time-out winner My Mate Mike is another to watch out for.

Plenty with claims here including MY MATE MIKE, who is low mileage for his age and got off the mark over C&D last month. Rabinal and Mount Mogan are feared most.

A competitive handicap but MY MATE MIKE (nap) has run well in both Lingfield starts and can defy his small rise in the weights.
Class & Speed Card

ORANGE DIAMOND has failed to complete on each of his five starts over the larger obstacles but the six-year-old, a dual hurdles winner on testing ground when trained in France, could be revitalised by the switch to timber. Robber's Bridge continues to knock on the door and he is unlikely to be far away, while Mr Zee is worth a second look ahead of this handicap bow.

ROBBER'S BRIDGE found some improvement when runner-up at Leicester on his latest outing, form which has worked out well, and he can build on that effort to go one better. Orange Diamond was in the process of running well over fences when departing last time, so he could be the main danger reverted to hurdling, ahead of C&D winner Daany.

The strongest candidate on recent form is the maiden ROBBER'S BRIDGE. He is a tad vulnerable but deserves to pick up a race like this.
Class & Speed Card

HIGHLANDS LEGACY appears to be progressing nicely and having finished a commendable second despite being hampered two out at Wincanton on his hurdles debut last month, the Jonjo O'Neill-trained gelding is presented with a good chance of going one place better. One More Stroke is shortlisted under a penalty for his game defeat of one of the selection's stablemates at Catterick, while Doncaster winner Mister Moodles is another to have on side.

HIGHLANDS LEGACY made an encouraging start over timber last month and looks sure to appreciate this stiffer test of stamina. He can open his account. One More Stroke and Mister Moodles are also open to improvement and rate the principal dangers.

Jonjo O'Neill's son of Kayf Tara HIGHLANDS LEGACY made a promising hurdling debut second at Wincanton and looks very much the way to go
Class & Speed Card

Moorgate finished a creditable fourth in a similar contest over C&D last month and it would be no surprise to see him hit the frame, but if adopting his usual waiting tactics, he may prove something of a prisoner to fortune. Preference is for HANNAH'S RETURN, who made all over 6f at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start, prior to a subdued effort over 7f recently. However, with Rossa Ryan doing the steering back down in trip, she can make every yard a winning one. The hardy Red Walls also warrants respect at the scene of his latest victory.

HANNAH'S RETURN wasn't at her best at Kempton last time but can get back to winning ways if returning to the sort of form she was showing at Wolverhampton prior to that. Moorgate and Red Walls head the dangers.

Moorgate looks sure to go well under these conditions but HANNAH'S RETURN is marginally preferred.
Class & Speed Card

The vote goes to WILLIAM EWART, who was on target in a similar event at Southwell last month and a subsequent 4lb rise might underestimate Christian Williams' seven-year-old. His former stable companion Camulus posted a decent second at Lingfield on his first appearance for the Venetia Williams team and he features prominently in calculations, along with West Orchard, who is just 1lb higher than when winning at Plumpton in November.

CAMULUS made a positive start for this yard after a year off when runner-up at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark. William Ewart justified support at Southwell last time and is the obvious threat.

Southwell winner WILLIAM EWART (nap) is taken to follow up here, with the extra furlong looking positive.
Class & Speed Card

Concetto is 3-9 over fences and his reliability is persuasive in his bid to follow up last month's success at Market Rasen off just 5lb higher. However, O'CONNELL is a shade more intriguing. The Sue Smith-trained eight-year-old is suited by a right-handed circuit and, with underfoot conditions also ideal, he edges the vote, given this also represents a drop back down in class. Shot Boii and Five Dollar Fine complete the shortlist.

O'CONNELL might not be the heartiest of battlers but he's worth another chance to resume winning ways back down in class. Concetto bounced back with a solid win at Market Rasen so rates the main threat ahead of Uptown Harry, who's lurking on a dangerous mark.

David Pipe's likeable SHOT BOII (nap) is taken to get back on the up having been derailed by a bad error when third at Kempton last time
Class & Speed Card

RUN JOY RUN was last seen finishing a staying-on third over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last month, only finding an in-form rival and a subsequent winner too good. Stepping up to 1m2f for the first time off an unchanged mark, Adam West's charge may take some stopping. Something To Do warrants respect sporting a first-time visor for a stable that have been amongst the winners of late, while better can be expected from Harlington, who wears first-time cheekpieces on his handicap debut.

ECCENTRIC isn't one for maximum faith given his occasional slow starts, but he ran about as well as could be expected behind a pair of lightly-raced improvers at this venue on his most recent outing and could be the answer if seeing out the longer trip. Mamalouka is better judged on her previous form having made her effort earlier than ideal at Newcastle last month, with handicap-debutant Harlington another to consider.

Cheekpieces have prompted improvement from RUN JOY RUN and she can take another step forward over this new trip.
Class & Speed Card

A chance can be taken on BRISTOL HILL, who isn't quite in the same form as when landing the corresponding event off 1lb lower 12 months ago, but with Jack Mitchell back onboard, it would be no surprise were he to bounce back. Lawmans Blis defeated an in-form rival at Wolverhampton last time out so a subsequent 4lb rise looks more than fair, while Desert Quest, who hit the woodwork over track and trip 19 days ago, is also noted.

Making just his second start for this yard, LAWMANS BLIS did well to reel in one that was on a roll at Wolverhampton just under 2 weeks ago and remaining with some handicapping scope he can make light of a 4 lb rise and follow up. Easter Island got back on track in first-time cheekpieces here last month, so he may emerge as the main threat, with the selection's stablemate Lednikov and last year's winner Bristol Hill another couple to consider.

It may be worth chancing last year's winner BRISTOL HILL who disappointed last time, but the market suggested much better was expected.
Class & Speed Card

Kalpana won despite showing clear signs of immaturity on her debut and she must be respected under a penalty, especially with the prospect of more to come. However, the vote goes to Dubawi colt FIRST ALLIANCE, who was an unfortunate second (dead-heat) at Southwell in December. Karl Burke's charge was caught on heels that day, which meant Danny Tudhope was unable to ride out his mount given a clear run, and with the step up in trip likely to suit, he can make amends. Both Rogue Encore and Inisherin should not be underestimated either.

INISHERIN pulled clear of the rest when runner-up in what is traditionally a strong Newmarket maiden in September and looks the one to beat. Rogue Encore and First Alliance both showed plenty to work on when second at Kempton and Southwell respectively so are feared in what looks a decent novice.

The choice is INISHERIN who defied his 50-1 odds when just beaten in a big field on his Newmarket debut last September.
Class & Speed Card

Not the strongest of contests in which Billy McGarry, who defeated Brother Dave (second) over C&D last month, is likely to have his supporters. BROXI drops to this level for the first time, though, and with an excellent chance on these terms, he might be worth taking a chance on. Tathmeen has been running well in defeat of late and he is entitled to place claims once again.

BROTHER DAVE is on the up and shaped best when runner-up at Southwell last time, so he's worth a chance to open his account now. Last-time-out winner Billy McGarry is an obvious danger and Tathmeen is worthy of a mention back at a track where he's had the bulk of his success.

This can go to BILLY MCGARRY who was successful in a handicap over C&D 16 days ago with three of these behind.
Class & Speed Card

Likeashadow has proven to be a really consistent performer and has gone well off this mark on each of his last three outings, finishing third in all of them. However, the vote goes to SUNBLOCK, who was victorious on handicap bow at Wolverhampton last week and she now has a 6lb penalty to carry. George Boughey's filly is likely to have plenty more to offer and she could be the one to beat. Ocean Bliss can fight it out for the minor honours in a first-time visor, with Luke Morris booked.

SUNBLOCK justified market support to make a winning handicap bow in good style at Wolverhampton on debut for this yard on Saturday, showing much-improved form in the process, and should prove hard to beat under a penalty. Redondo only just failed to make it 2 from 2 in handicaps here last month and is an obvious threat, with Noble Consort another to consider having shaped very well third on his handicap debut over this C&D 6 weeks ago.

The vote goes to SUNBLOCK (nap) who did it well when making a successful stable/handicap debut at Wolverhampton on Saturday.
Class & Speed Card

MORNING SUIT finished a close-up third at Lingfield in January and his mark has been left unchanged for that effort. Archie Watson's colt sports first-time cheekpieces which could eke out the improvement needed. Blue Virtue has to be considered on her handicap bow having shown promise on all three outings so far. Of the remainder, Daring Legend makes the most appeal on his return to the handicap ranks.

DARING LEGEND (due to be 2 lb higher in future) ran well on his first start for 6 months/debut for the Mick Appleby yard when a close-up third at Kempton on Saturday and, with the drop back to 6f expected to suit, he looks to hold solid claims with the possibility of more to come. Blue Virtue is high on the shortlist on handicap debut/returned to sprinting, with Influence another respected eased in class.

The selection is MORNING SUIT who ran well over 7f last time while shaping as if this return to 6f will be in his favour.
Class & Speed Card

BLUE COLLAR LAD stole the race from the front at Wolverhampton on Saturday and Alice Haynes' gelding must hold every chance of following up, given he is 2lb well-in under a penalty. The well-handicapped Atlantic Heart is a big player from a draw on the nearside rail, while Bernie The Bear and Fantasy Navigator are others capable of a decent showing.

BLUE COLLAR LAD cemented the positive start made for his new yard when running out a convincing winner at Wolverhampton 5 days ago and turned out under a penalty, he looks to hold sound claims in his follow-up bid. Captain Wentworth only narrowly failed to justify strong support at Chelmsford himself recently and he's of firm interest dropping back to 6f. Bernie The Bear and Dream Together are another couple to note.

It may be worth siding with BERNIE THE BEAR whose record over C&D reads 123 and who is back off his last winning mark.
Class & Speed Card

Retirement Beckons had four of these behind when he struck at odds of 50/1 in a similar race here last Friday and is obviously dangerous to underestimate now he has broken his duck on the all-weather. Ana Emaraaty was just a length-and-a-quarter second in that race, so enters calculations based on a literal reading of the form. However, EVA ROSIE has shown improvement since being tried in classified stakes and, with first-time blinkers added, this could be a good time to catch the lightly-raced filly.

COPPER MOUNTAIN has had excuses since winning a similar event at Southwell, including when fourth behind Retirement Beckons and Ana Emaraaty over this C&D on Friday, so is worth another chance. With Retirement Beckons penalised this time, Ana Emaraaty may emerge as the main threat.

Jim Goldie's 4yo ANA EMARAATY enjoys a 4lb pull in the weights with Retirement Beckons and can gain a deserved breakthrough victory
