5	5 (5) (9/4 +36%) Innisfree Lass		2.25 9/4(+36%)																															(5) Innisfree Lass 9/4, Improved upped in trip/with cheekpieces fitted when running out a wide-margin winner of 2 handicap hurdles at Southwell during second half of last term. Hasn't kicked on switched to fences this season, but did return to form when runner-up at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) last month. In the mix. Clear of Itsnoteasy when chasing home a well-treated winner at Chepstow.
1	1 (1) (3/1 +65%) Itsnoteasy		3 3/1(+65%)																															(1) Itsnoteasy 3/1, £100,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field who got off the mark over hurdles in maiden at Uttoxeter in December 2023. Failed to kick on after, however, and hasn't exactly set the world alight on both starts over the larger obstacles in recent months. First-time headgear applied. Has 13l to find with Innisfree Lass on latest running; cheekpieces may help.
4	4 (4) (4/1 -60%) Fortunefavorsdbold		4 4/1(-60%)																															(4) Fortunefavorsdbold 4/1, Has displayed more positive signs from her reduced mark of late, finding just one too good on her last couple of starts at Lingfield, albeit flattered by her proximity to eased-down winner back in cheekpieces on latest. Every chance she can go one better. Well handicapped and well backed the last twice, only to find one too good.
6	6 (6) (9/2 +10%) Dunworley		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(6) Dunworley 9/2, Remains winless but showed he's still in fair heart with cheekpieces/tongue strap applied when runner-up at Uttoxeter (24f, heavy) just under 4 weeks ago, doing his best work at the finish. Nudged up 2 lb for that effort but he's knocking on the door. Runner-up off reduced mark at Uttoxeter and clearly capable of winning a race like this.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +36%) Spotty Dog		9 9/1(+36%)																															(7) Spotty Dog 9/1, Took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 14 at Taunton (23f, good to soft) in January but let down by his jumping (which is increasingly becoming an issue) when well beaten at Fakenham (29.1f, good) subsequently. That tempers enthusiasm somewhat. Regressive 10yo but has shaped better in cheekpieces the last twice; 3m5f too far latest.
3	3 (3) (14/1 -100%) Haut Folin		14 14/1(-100%)																															(3) Haut Folin 14/1, Runner-up on first 2 starts this season but needs to bounce back from a couple of shockers. First-time blinkers could well be the catalyst. Has a lot in his favour should the blinkers trigger a revival.

Not much in the way of recent winning form to go on, but ISLE OF GOLD made a decent start to his career over fences when runner-up on his handicap bow at Warwick and has the most scope for improvement. Fortunefavorsdbold has been paying his way in minor money, although his rating is high enough. Innisfree Lass had Itsnoteasy a good way behind when they made the frame at Chepstow, while Dunworley had a subsequent winner hot on his heels when second at Uttoxeter.

FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD found just one too strong for a second successive start at Lingfield recently and this looks a good opportunity for Christian Williams' mare to open her account for the season. The main danger may emerge from Innisfree Lass, who returned to form at Chepstow last month and the handicapper relinquishes his grip further. Dunworley, who is still looking for a first win but is firmly knocking at the door, rounds off the shortlist.

Although flattered to finish so close to an easy winner last time at Lingfield, FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD's turn looks near.

9	9 (9) (1/6 +25%) My Kiwi Girl		0.166667 1/6(+25%)																															(9) My Kiwi Girl 1/6, Irish point winner who has shown fair form over hurdles, third of 5 in listed event at Haydock on her second start and has found just one too good over this C&D and at Newcastle since. Now tried in a tongue strap and she's clearly the one to beat. Irish point winner; in the frame on all four starts over hurdles and looks the one to beat.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +17%) Moon Phases		5 5/1(+17%)																															(5) Moon Phases 5/1, Finished fourth sole start between the flags but failed to meet expectation (sent off at 9/2) for Rules debut in a Perth bumper 10 months ago. Presumably thought capable of a good deal better and it'll be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting now switched to hurdles. Irish point fourth; well beaten in a bumper last April (hung left); much better expected.
2	2 (2) (7/1 -17%) Count Adhemar		7 7/1(-17%)																															(2) Count Adhemar 7/1, Westerner gelding who showed something to work on when sixth of 12 in bumper here (2m, soft) on debut in January. Each-way chance granted a clean round of jumping now switched to hurdles. In midfield in a C&D bumper on debut; should fare better now going jumping.
8	8 (8) (33/1 +50%) Kanitamay		33 33/1(+50%)																															(8) Kanitamay 33/1, Out with the washing starting out in a bumper here in January and got no further than the first flight back at this course for his recent hurdles debut. Moon Phase appears to be the stable first-string. Tailed off in a bumper; unseated rider at first on hurdles debut; plenty to prove.
3	3 (3) (50/1 +0%) Freedom Day		50 50/1(+0%)																															(3) Freedom Day 50/1, Fair Flat winner but he has made an inauspicious start in this sphere and for present connections, unseating at the first on debut in this sphere at Musselburgh before trailing in last of 10 in a Newcastle. Sports a hood for the first time over hurdles here (0-3 in this headgear on the Flat). Fair Flat handicapper; hasn't shown much over hurdles; hood back on; best watched.
6	6 (6) (50/1 0%) Woody's Boy		50 50/1(0%)																															(6) Woody's Boy 50/1, Closely related to fair hurdler/chaser Manofthemoment and fair hurdler A Different World. Debut in a Newcastle maiden 13 days ago was very low-key and he's readily passed over. Had a wind op before he ran; well beaten in a maiden on hurdles debut; should improve.
10	10 (10) (50/1 0%) Tommy's Promise		50 50/1(0%)																															(10) Tommy's Promise 50/1, Half-brother to fair hurdler Ravens Hill and hopes are very much pinned on this one proving to be a different proposition over hurdles, having finished stone last on each of his 3 starts on the Flat at 2 yrs. Well beaten at long odds in three novice events on the Flat (7f/1m) in 2023; jumps debut.
7	7 (7) (125/1 +17%) Cloudsareclearing		125 125/1(+17%)																															(7) Cloudsareclearing 125/1, Tailed off only start in bumpers and has fared little better in a couple of runs over hurdles so far. Modest efforts in a bumper and two maiden hurdles; needs to do better.
4	4 (4) (150/1 +0%) King Gold Boy		150 150/1(+0%)																															(4) King Gold Boy 150/1, Failed to beat a rival home both starts in bumpers during the winter and again showed next to nothing on hurdles bow at Musselburgh, finishing a well-beaten last of the 7 who completed. Well beaten in two bumpers and a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh; others stronger.

MY KIWI GIRL was a good second to That'll Do Moss (declared to run in the 2.30) over C&D on her penultimate start before filling the same position behind a Willie Mullins-trained improver at Newcastle last month. Those efforts set a decent standard and the daughter of Walk In The Park has a golden opportunity. Count Adhemar showed ability in a course bumper in January and may improve with obstacles now part of the equation. Similar comments apply to the returning Moon Phases, who rates the pick of Lucinda Russell's pair.

This should be easy pickings for MY KIWI GIRL, who has shown plenty in four starts in this sphere subsequent to winning a maiden point by a wide-margin last spring. It's hard to find one likely to mount a serious challenge but Count Adhemar did at least show signs of ability in a bumper and better was clearly expected of Moon Phase ahead of her low-key Rules debut.

A chance is taken on the former Irish pointer MOON PHASES proving a great deal better than he showed in a Perth bumper last April.

7	7 (7) (9/5 -31%) King Of The Lake		1.8 9/5(-31%)																															(7) King Of The Lake 9/5, On a hat-trick after easy wins in conditional jockeys' handicaps at Wincanton (21f) and Newbury (20.5f) under Chad Bament in recent weeks. Escapes a penalty and will be hard to beat if as effective back over shorter. Transformed by a wind op this year; 11lb ahead of the handicapper on this hat-trick bid.
5	5 (5) (3/1 +33%) Imaginarium		3 3/1(+33%)																															(5) Imaginarium 3/1, This useful Irish Flat performer made it 2-4 over hurdles when seeing off 7 rivals in 2m Huntingdon novice handicap 4 weeks ago. Respected up 6 lb. 2-4 over hurdles and, in view of his Flat ability, could still be well handicapped.
6	6 (6) (9/2 +50%) Thistle Be The One		4.5 9/2(+50%)																															(6) Thistle Be The One 9/2, Useful bumper winner and runner-up in a pair of Taunton novices (2m/19f) since switching to hurdles. Moves into handicap company for the first time now. Second to useful rivals in two Taunton novice races this winter; handicap debut today.
10	10 (10) (7/1 +56%) Valadon		7 7/1(+56%)																															(10) Valadon 7/1, Dual winner in juvenile hurdles last winter. Didn't take to chasing on reappearance but fared better back hurdling when third of 6 in 19f Taunton handicap in January. Just a respectable third at Taunton last time; others here have more pressing claims.
2	2 (2) (10/1 +38%) Manuelito		10 10/1(+38%)																															(2) Manuelito 10/1, A fairly useful 2m winner over hurdles for David Pipe. Shaped as if better for the run after 7 months off when seventh of 14 in 2m Taunton handicap for new yard 31 days ago. Made just a satisfactory stable debut last month; needs to have come on for the run.
3	3 (3) (22/1 -100%) Cornish Storm		22 22/1(-100%)																															(3) Cornish Storm 22/1, Fair Flat winner who, fit from a placed effort on AW in January, made it fourth time luck over hurdles in 2m Taunton maiden 17 days ago. Should be competitive from this opening mark. Won run-of-the-mill Taunton maiden last month but has more on his plate here.
8	8 (8) (22/1 +12%) Mostly Sunny		22 22/1(+12%)																															(8) Mostly Sunny 22/1, A 3-time winner on the Flat who struck twice over hurdles for Dan Skelton at the start of the season. Didn't offer much obvious promise in 2 soft-ground handicaps back from a break last month but the return to a sounder surface may help him. On a good mark now but did not get competitive on either outing last month.
9	9 (9) (22/1 +73%) Teorie		22 22/1(+73%)																															(9) Teorie 22/1, Fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner but folded tamely and pulled up in Huntingdon handicap back from wind surgery in January (final start for Alan King). New stable quick to add a tongue tie to his regular cheekpieces. Took well to hurdling last season but has some questions to answer on this stable debut.

KING OF THE LAKE has been in the form of his life since undergoing wind surgery and an 11lb rise for his most recent success at Newbury looks manageable. Dropping back in trip should not inconvenience either and he gets the vote ahead of Imaginarium, who bounced back to form with a taking success at Huntingdon last time out. Cornish Storm and Thistle Be The One are likely to be thereabouts as well.

If KING OF THE LAKE can cope with the drop back in trip he should prove hard to beat off the same mark as when scoring by 10 lengths at Newbury last Friday. Imaginarium made a successful start to his handicap hurdle career at Huntingdon last month and is second choice ahead of Paso Doble.

Unpenalised for his eased-down win at Newbury a week ago, KING OF THE LAKE can complete a hat-trick.

2	2 (2) (9/4 +36%) Plaisir Des Flos		2.25 9/4(+36%)																															(2) Plaisir Des Flos 9/4, Went from strength-to-strength in handicap hurdles last year, bringing up the 5-timer at Carlisle (20f) in October. Ran well when placed on his last 2 starts, third at Bangor (23.2f, heavy) in December, and he's an interesting contender on chase debut. Progressive hurdler in the last 12 months; there are winning chasers in the family.
3	3 (3) (9/4 +0%) Immortal Fame		2.25 9/4(+0%)																															(3) Immortal Fame 9/4, Multiple winner over hurdles for Tom Lacey and has been thriving given another try over fences for current yard, completing the hat-trick with a comfortable success at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 18 days ago. Leading contender. Seeking a four-timer and only appears to do enough in his races; player.
6	6 (6) (5/2 -33%) King Arise		2.5 5/2(-33%)																															(6) King Arise 5/2, Fair maiden hurdler who has improved sent chasing this season, scoring in good style at Wincanton in December. Runner-up both starts since, beaten ½ length by Immortal Fame at Uttoxeter (20f, soft) in January, and he can be thereabouts once more. Won well at Wincanton in December and a close second in his other three chases.
4	4 (4) (11/1 +31%) Abbeydale		11 11/1(+31%)																															(4) Abbeydale 11/1, Winning hurdler for Gordon Elliott but yet to convince over fences for current yard, falling on chase debut before no match for winner when second of 3 in novice at this course (20.1f) in December. Well held at Warwick last time and others more persuasive. Kept fair company in his four runs for current yard but hasn't got going.
5	5 (5) (14/1 -17%) Major Fortune		14 14/1(-17%)																															(5) Major Fortune 14/1, Big improver stepped up to 2½m+ last season, winning 5 on the spin and adding to his tally at Newton Abbot (16.8f) in October. However, form has gone the wrong way since, including when fourth of 8 in handicap at Warwick (20f, soft) on chasing debut 2 weeks ago. Remote 4th on chase debut but effectively back on his last winning hurdle mark.
1	1 (1) (16/1 -60%) Mahons Glory		16 16/1(-60%)																															(1) Mahons Glory 16/1, Runner-up in handicap at Southwell (20.4f) on chasing debut in June but went backwards from that effort at Perth next 2 starts. After 4 months off, well held over hurdles at Kempton on Boxing Day, so needs to get back on track having left Patrick Neville. Has the form to feature but left his previous yard under a cloud.

Immortal Fame has been revitalised by the switch to Deborah Cole's yard and completed a hat-trick at Southwell. The second of those victories came at Uttoxeter at the chief expense of KING ARISE, who is 6lb better off in his bid to overturn just a half-length deficit. The eight-year-old has done precious little wrong since going over fences and can continue on his upward curve. Plaisir Des Flos, most progressive over hurdles, tries the bigger obstacles for the first time and is bred to excel over them.

IMMORTAL FAME continued his excellent start for his current yard when scoring with something in hand at Southwell on his latest outing, so he is taken to continue his progress and land the 4-timer. He can confirm the placings with King Arise from when the pair met at Uttoxeter in January, with Plaisir des Flos one to note on chase debut.

With a 6lb pull KING ARISE may be capable of gaining his revenge on Immortal Fame. Plaisir Des Flos is respected.

2	2 (2) (3/1 +14%) Ballyfort		3 3/1(+14%)																															(2) Ballyfort 3/1, Showed more of what he's about back over hurdles when second in 7-runner handicap here (2m) in January. Stamina seemed stretched up to 2½m last time and worth treating as still in good form. Had breathing op. Still a maiden but arrives in good nick; since had wind op; ought to be in the shake-up.
1	1 (1) (7/2 -27%) Royal Rhythm		3.5 7/2(-27%)																															(1) Royal Rhythm 7/2, Well backed and turned in his best effort of the season from a reduced mark when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, heavy) 23 days ago. Should remain competitive if turning up in similar form. Back to best when runner-up at Wetherby 23 days ago; must enter calculations up just 1lb.
9	9 (9) (4/1 -14%) Mix De Gris		4 4/1(-14%)																															(9) Mix De Gris 4/1, Is no easy ride (races freely) but got back on track when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 22 days ago, left with lot to do. Has the ability to defy this sort of mark. Good fourth at Newcastle 22 days ago given he was set plenty to do; not ruled out.
3	3 (3) (11/2 -38%) Vampire Slayer		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(3) Vampire Slayer 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden who produced his best effort to date switched to handicap company when fifth of 13 at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 22 days ago, tying up late as exuberance told. Likely to progress further. Promising fifth at Newcastle latest; can do better still so he's a player.
4	4 (4) (8/1 +76%) I Have A Voice		8 8/1(+76%)																															(4) I Have A Voice 8/1, Won twice in juvenile hurdles in 2022/23 season but has cut little ice in handicaps since. First run for yard after leaving Nigel Hawke. Offered little for Nigel Hawke in two handicaps in December; needs yard move to spark more.
6	6 (6) (16/1 0%) O'faolains Glory		16 16/1(0%)																															(6) O'faolains Glory 16/1, Twice a winner for Ian Patrick Donoghue but went off the boil in final two starts of last year. Wasn't disgraced returned to hurdling for new yard at Carlisle (17f) in February but failed to beat a rival. Last on yard debut in 2m1f Carlisle handicap hurdle 18 days ago; has a bit to prove.
5	5 (5) (25/1 0%) It's Dan		25 25/1(0%)																															(5) It's Dan 25/1, Showed promise kept to a novice returning from 20 months off at Kelso in December but well held in handicaps at Ayr both outings since. Subsequent breathing operation needs to have the desired effect. Only eighth of 12 in 2m5f handicap here 46 days ago; since undergone breathing surgery.
11	11 (11) (33/1 +0%) Gine Sacre		33 33/1(+0%)																															(11) Gine Sacre 33/1, Still a maiden and fared little better on first run for new yard at Sedgefield last month. Races from 2 lb out of handicap and is difficult to recommend. Yet to win; pulled up on stable debut at Sedgefield 30 days ago; hard to make a case for.
8	8 (8) (40/1 -21%) Carnet De Stage		40 40/1(-21%)																															(8) Carnet De Stage 40/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden hurdler/chaser who ran no sort of race on first outing for this yard here last month. Others preferred. Pulled up on yard debut in 2m4f handicap hurdle here 24 days ago; others appeal more.
10	10 (10) (80/1 -186%) Bray Dale		80 80/1(-186%)																															(10) Bray Dale 80/1, Failed to meet expectations in bumpers for Nicky Richards and little promise in five starts for current yard. Opposable on this switch to handicap company. Remote fifth at Kelso latest; needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement.

Nick Alexander enjoyed a hat-trick of winners at the corresponding fixture last year and, with that in mind, BALLYFORT could be worth chancing on his first start since undergoing wind surgery. Potentially well placed to exploit a lenient rating, it would come as no surprise to see the son of Fame And Glory go one better than the second-placed finish he registered over C&D on his penultimate start. Royal Rhythm is feared most after his runner-up effort at Wetherby, while Vampire Slayer and Mix De Gris are other strong contenders.

VAMPIRE SLAYER shaped well in a race that's likely to prove strong form on his handicap debut at Newcastle, so he's an appealing candidate with further improvement on the cards. Ballyfort will benefit from a return to 2m and should go well, with Mix de Gris completing the shortlist.

Darragh Bourke's VAMPIRE SLAYER (nap) is taken to build on a promising handicap-debut fifth at Newcastle and get off the mark

4	4 (4) (3/1 -9%) Joe Cotton		3 3/1(-9%)																															(4) Joe Cotton 3/1, Has proved unreliable but this C&D winner came in a good second of 11 in handicap chase at Lingfield (20f, soft) 35 days ago. Not the heartiest in a finish but he needs considering. Went down fighting at Lingfield last month, his fourth consecutive second; major player.
3	3 (3) (7/2 +53%) Haas Boy		3.5 7/2(+53%)																															(3) Haas Boy 7/2, It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2022 but he posted his best effort over fences when third of 9 in handicap chase over C&D 26 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Possibilities. Not very consistent but was placed over C&D last month and is 2lb lower now.
1	1 (1) (5/1 -82%) Largy Force		5 5/1(-82%)																															(1) Largy Force 5/1, Yet to score but she arrives in good nick, second of 4 in handicap chase at Leicester (20.1f, heavy) 22 days ago. Weighted to go well off an unchanged mark. Has made solid start to chasing career and was probably unlucky not to win last month.
2	2 (2) (5/1 +44%) Captain Boudet		5 5/1(+44%)																															(2) Captain Boudet 5/1, Got off the mark over fences at Hereford in January but pulled up in handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f, heavy) 36 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now. Won on chasing debut in January; heavy ground blamed for subsequent flop; respected.
5	5 (5) (6/1 +0%) Hatos		6 6/1(+0%)																															(5) Hatos 6/1, Again reached the frame for his current yard when a respectable third of 6 in handicap chase at Wincanton (15.7f, soft) 20 days ago. Back up in trip with blinkers refitted and well in the mix. Not at best for new yard this season but has still made the frame on all four appearances.
7	7 (7) (8/1 +68%) Rangatira Jack		8 8/1(+68%)																															(7) Rangatira Jack 8/1, Maiden hurdler/chaser who recorded his best effort in this sphere when fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) in January. Needs to build on it. Not disgraced over C&D on last two outings but needs to find something extra.
6	6 (6) (18/1 +10%) Odin's Quest		18 18/1(+10%)																															(6) Odin's Quest 18/1, Fair bumper/hurdles winner but well beaten in 15f Wincanton handicap hurdle on his return in January. Needs to take a big step forward now going chasing. Makes chasing debut from a good mark but others look much less risky.
8	8 (8) (22/1 +33%) I Love You Sivola		22 22/1(+33%)																															(8) I Love You Sivola 22/1, It's now 20 runs since his last win in 2022 and he was pulled up in handicap chase at Exeter (17.5f, heavy) 53 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Yet to add to his France chasing success in 2022 and 3lb out of the weights today.

Having filled the runner-up spot on his last four outings, Joe Cotton cannot be faulted for his consistency. However, a further 3lb rise in the ratings will only make life tougher for the seven-year-old and he may have to play second fiddle once more, with LARGY FORCE getting the vote. Warren Greatrex's mare arrives on the back of a solid second at Leicester and she makes most appeal racing off an unchanged mark. Haas Boy is also noted.

Recent Leicester runner-up LARGY FORCE rates the pick of these weights so is fancied to gain a deserved breakthrough victory at the chief expense of the consistent Hatos. Joe Cotton and Haas Boy both need factoring into this open handicap too.

A cosy winner on his chasing debut in January, CAPTAIN BOUDET is excused a subsequent defeat on heavy ground and gets the vote.

2	2 (2) (2/1 -45%) Mighty Moth		2 2/1(-45%)																															(2) Mighty Moth 2/1, Fair winning hurdler and good effort when runner-up at Wincanton on second start over fences on Boxing Day.

Only narrowly denied at Fakenham 3 weeks later, but knocked back by a mistake when pulled up last time. Could fare better on less testing ground. Poor latest effort but every chance off this mark if putting her best foot forward.
1	1 (1) (7/2 +13%) Party Vibes		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(1) Party Vibes 7/2, Dual winner over hurdles who confirmed promise of chasing debut when winning 4-runner novice at Exeter (17.5f) in December. Shaped as if amiss next time, but soon back on track when third of 5 in handicap at this course (15.9f, heavy) 22 days ago. Respected. Bar one blip, she's been running well over fences; in the mix; should stay okay.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +29%) Shakeyatailfeather		5 5/1(+29%)																															(5) Shakeyatailfeather 5/1, Off the mark over hurdles at Newton Abbot in September and encouraging start over fences when fourth at Doncaster (19.1f) in November. Lesser effort 2 weeks later, but back to form when fourth at Taunton (23f) last time. Could be in the mix. Has made a pleasing start over fences and she's back against her own sex.
6	6 (6) (11/1 -10%) Pitwood Road		11 11/1(-10%)																															(6) Pitwood Road 11/1, Bumper/hurdles winner and best effort yet in this sphere when fourth of 14 in a Thurles handicap (25.1f) in December. Backed up that run when second at Southwell (20.4f, soft) last month, but more needed on first start since leaving Terence O'Brien. No closer than 12l in four runs over fences and was a remote second in the latest.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -60%) Easy To Follow		16 16/1(-60%)																															(3) Easy To Follow 16/1, Won first 2 starts over hurdles and resumed with good second in handicap at Bangor in October. However, has disappointed both outings since, labouring long way out when last of 4 at Lingfield (20f, soft) on chase debut 15 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for. Now goes in cheekpieces after a laboured chase debut behind Mighty Moth.

The application of first-time cheekpieces worked just a treat for MIGHTY MOTH when opening her account over fences at Lingfield 15 days ago. Although an 8lb higher mark demands more of Noel Williams' mare, she scored with enough in hand to suggest that a brace could be on the horizon. The biggest threat may emerge form Party Vibes, who looks ready for a step up in trip after her staying-on third over 2m here last month. Kosasiempre may fare best of the rest.

In first-time cheekpieces, MIGHTY MOTH took a step forward when winning easily at Lingfield 15 days ago and she can score again now that she's up and running in this sphere. Party Vibes wasted no time getting back to form when third against the males at this course last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Shakeyatailfeather.

It was all so very easy for MIGHTY MOTH (nap) in the new cheekpieces at Lingfield and she's taken to defy the 8lb rise.

1	1 (1) (5/2 -11%) Lord Of All Saints		2.5 5/2(-11%)																															(1) Lord Of All Saints 5/2, Very much on the up since sent handicapping, completing a hat-trick in good style at Sandown (19.8f) 6 weeks ago. Open to further improvement. Has won his last 3, latest a Sandown novice handicap; up 30lb (9lb for last win); chance.
3	3 (3) (3/1 +54%) Both Barrels		3 3/1(+54%)																															(3) Both Barrels 3/1, Made steady improvement over hurdles last season, landing a Kelso handicap on his final run of the campaign. April. Stepped up on his reappearance when sixth of 12 back at aforementioned track 3 weeks ago and still relatively unexposed. Off the mark last April; below best so far this term; conditions suit; has a chance.
5	5 (5) (8/1 -23%) Koukeo		8 8/1(-23%)																															(5) Koukeo 8/1, Runner-up to 2 next-time-out winners on his qualifying runs and ran to a similar level when sixth of 15 on handicap debut at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Likely to make presence felt if seeing out the longer trip. Second in maiden/novice hurdles; below-par on h'cap debut; better expected at 2m4f.
9	9 (9) (8/1 +43%) Follow Charlie		8 8/1(+43%)																															(9) Follow Charlie 8/1, C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 24 days ago. Edged back down to last winning mark and can't be ruled out. Two wins here last year, the second off this mark over C&D at this meeting; a possible.
2	2 (2) (17/2 -89%) King Roly		8.5 17/2(-89%)																															(2) King Roly 17/2, Improved with each run in bumpers and made a successful hurdling debut at Worcester in September. Showed better form in defeat under a penalty at Carlisle the following month and should go well on this switch to handicaps if picking up where he left off. Bumper/maiden hurdle winner who was fair 4th in a novice last time; chance on h'cap debut.
7	7 (7) (11/1 +0%) Half Track		11 11/1(+0%)																															(7) Half Track 11/1, Well handicapped on best form and took a firm step back in the right direction when second at Carlisle (19f) in December. Respectable fourth in a 0-130 at Haydock (3m) next time but proved a disappointment back down in grade here on most recent outing. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Only win was here in 2021; second over 2m3f in December; not so good since; headgear tried.
10	10 (10) (11/1 +0%) Maillot Blanc		11 11/1(+0%)																															(10) Maillot Blanc 11/1, Seems to be in a lull at present, finishing fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.4f, soft) on most recent outing. Needs to revive in first-time cheekpieces (also had breathing operation). Ex-Sophie Leech; mixed form for this yard; first run since wind op with headgear now tried.
8	8 (8) (14/1 -75%) Reforme		14 14/1(-75%)																															(8) Reforme 14/1, Easily best run since joining Tom Gretton when second of 9 over 19f at Catterick (good to soft) 35 days ago. Claims if he can back that up. 0-6 over hurdles; good second to a subsequent winner last time and could go well again.
6	6 (6) (16/1 +52%) Buy Some Time		16 16/1(+52%)																															(6) Buy Some Time 16/1, Won his first 2 handicap hurdles at Perth (both 3m) in July. However, below that level last 2 starts following 6 months off. Winning UK pointer; won twice over 3m last summer (good); interesting if going dries out.
4	4 (4) (100/1 -203%) El Jefe		100 100/1(-203%)																															(4) El Jefe 100/1, Enjoyed a fine 2023/24, gaining a fifth victory at Aintree in April. Well below form this season, though, beating only one home in 11-runner handicap at Bangor on most recent outing. Five wins at up to 2m3f last term, final one at Aintree; yet to hit top form this season.

LORD OF ALL SAINTS justified a 13lb rise when completing a hat-trick of victories at Sandown in January and the manner of that performance suggested that the five-year-old may have no concerns with a further 9lb hike to contend with. King Roly is open to improvement on his handicap bow on his first appearance since October, while a step up in trip may unlock some improvement from Koukeo.

LORD OF ALL SAINTS is a rapidly improving young hurdler and the 4-timer surely beckons having scored in a manner that suggests he's still not close to reaching his limit at Sandown last time. Both Barrels went the right way from his reappearance and remains relatively unexposed, with handicap-debutant King Roly also likely to go well if picking up where he left off in the autumn.

This can go to BOTH BARRELS, who has yet to hit top form this term but has conditions to suit. Follow Charlie is next best.

2	2 (2) (15/8 +63%) Bampton Star		1.875 15/8(+63%)																															(2) Bampton Star 15/8, Took this event 12 months ago but he came in only sixth of 9 in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) 38 days ago. Enters calculations if shrugging off latest effort. Dual C&D winner; below form at Chepstow last month but still strongly considered.
5	5 (5) (11/4 +21%) Another Lord		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(5) Another Lord 11/4, A fair 2m4f hurdles scorer. Made mistakes when a never-dangerous second of 5 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (16f, heavy) on his debut over fences 27 days ago. Needs to build on it back up in trip. Lacked fluency and probably found 2m a bit sharp when second on recent chase debut.
1	1 (1) (9/2 +25%) Shot Boii		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(1) Shot Boii 9/2, On a losing run but he posted a good fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) 38 days ago. A likely player from a slipping mark. Not one to rely upon heavily but on a good mark now; major player if in right mood.
9	9 (9) (15/2 +0%) Dysania		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(9) Dysania 15/2, Unreliable individual who came in a below-form fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, soft) 15 days ago. Others appeal more. Good second three starts ago but often looks unenthusiastic; others preferred.
8	8 (8) (10/1 +60%) William Philo		10 10/1(+60%)																															(8) William Philo 10/1, Resumed with a good second at Exeter in January but tailed-off ninth of 12 to Lightonthewing in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f) 26 days ago. Has work to do back in this sphere. Placed at big odds over hurdles on seasonal debut but two disappointing runs followed.
4	4 (4) (12/1 +25%) Bobmahley		12 12/1(+25%)																															(4) Bobmahley 12/1, A fair 3m winner in 2022/23. Lightly raced since and only ninth in 3m Ffos Las handicap chase last month. More is required. Yet to strike form since returning from a long absence this season.
6	6 (6) (20/1 +20%) To Be Sure		20 20/1(+20%)																															(6) To Be Sure 20/1, Landed 3m Ffos Las handicap chase in April 2023. Lightly raced and little to shout about since so others are preferred. Back from one-year absence with three very underwhelming hurdle runs this season.
3	3 (3) (33/1 +34%) Imperial Storm		33 33/1(+34%)																															(3) Imperial Storm 33/1, Bumper/hurdles winner for Fergal O'Brien but has struggled since returning from an absence for his new yard. Unseated his rider early on his chasing debut at Ffos Las last month. Badly out of form over hurdles this season; unseated rider on recent chase debut.

Another Lord returned to form with a respectable second at Uttoxeter last month and is respected. Regardless, SHOT BOII finished fourth in a stronger class 4 event at Chepstow last time out and David Pipe's inmate is a shade more compelling. Bampton Star finished behind the selection in sixth that day, but the eight-year-old isn't taken lightly reunited with Chad Bament.

A few of these arrive with question marks against them so this looks a good opportunity for SHOT BOII to capitalise on a lenient mark and resume winning ways. Chepstow scorer Lightonthewing appeals as the chief threat back chasing ahead of last year's victor Bampton Star.

Low-mileage 8yo BAMPTON STAR (nap) is sure to be very well suited by today's return to Exeter and can record a third C&D win.

3	3 (3) (6/5 +52%) Smart Casual		1.2 6/5(+52%)																															(3) Smart Casual 6/5, Remains a maiden but made a promising start over fences when placed on his first 2 outings of the campaign. Lesser effort when third of 6 in handicap at Plumpton (17f, soft) in January, though he could bounce back with cheekpieces on first time. Maiden; handicapper is offering little help but the new headgear might.
2	2 (2) (3/1 -173%) You Say Nothing		3 3/1(-173%)																															(2) You Say Nothing 3/1, Largely struggled since last summer but refitted with a hood, justified good support to make all in 6-runner handicap chase at Lingfield (2m, soft) 15 days ago. Nicely on top at the line on that occasion, so foolish to rule out another bold bid up 5 lb. Hood left off. Had been struggling but bounced back for a fourth chase success at Lingfield two weeks ago.
1	1 (1) (10/3 -21%) Bobbi's Beauty		3.333333 10/3(-21%)																															(1) Bobbi's Beauty 10/3, Course winner who was much improved dropped back to 2m when doubling chase tally at Lingfield in December. Went off too hard back at 2½m at that venue 5 weeks ago but better showing anticipated returned to this shorter distance. 2-5 as a chaser; handicapped to go well with Daire McConville taking off 7lb.
5	5 (5) (8/1 +68%) Master Mikey Dee		8 8/1(+68%)																															(5) Master Mikey Dee 8/1, Generally struggled since making a winning chase bow 3 years ago and he failed to build on minor promise showed at Fontwell in January, when a well-beaten ninth in 10 runner handicap chase back at that venue 12 days ago. Visor replaces cheekpieces. His form claims are far from compelling; visor replaces cheekpieces.
4	4 (4) (22/1 +45%) Tommy Dillion		22 22/1(+45%)																															(4) Tommy Dillion 22/1, Winning hurdler but has clearly been difficult to train and continued his theme of non-completions in this sphere when pulled up at Fontwell (21.6f) 12 days ago, weakening 3 out. Plenty to prove at present. Has suffered three pull-ups over fences and can only be watched for now.

The combination of a 51-day break and reapplied hood played a large part in last month's Lingfield scorer YOU SAY NOTHING capitalising on a career-low mark. Christian Williams' veteran scored with enough in hand to suggest that he holds every chance of overcoming a 5lb higher mark. Bobbi's Beauty hasn't proved the most consistent in her 11 outings under Rules, but she's capable if on a going day and an improved bid is expected reverting to 2m. Master Mikey Dee may chase the aforementioned duo home.

YOU SAY NOTHING belatedly capitalised on a tumbling mark and justified good support in the process when making all at Lingfield (2m) 2 weeks ago. He remains with plenty of handicapping scope on the pick of his form over fences and earns the vote ahead of Bobbi's Beauty, who is expected to appreciate the return to this sort of trip. Smart Casual would also be a threat if lining up here.

The 10yo YOU SAY NOTHING returned to form from nowhere at Lingfield but he was strong in the market. He can follow up.

5	5 (5) (10/3 0%) Travail D'orfevre		3.333333 10/3(0%)																															(5) Travail D'orfevre 10/3, Deservedly regained the winning thread in a 4-runner handicap on his first attempt at 3m here in January. Wasn't in the same form at Carlisle next time but this 9-y-o is largely consistent and, with this drop back in trip unlikely to pose a problem, he could easily bounce back with a bold show. Rare below-par Carlisle eighth latest; sort to bounce back for last year's winning yard.
8	8 (8) (4/1 +43%) Nights In Venice		4 4/1(+43%)																															(8) Nights In Venice 4/1, Proved ¾-length too strong for the re-opposing Travail d'Orfevre when opening chase account over this C&D last February. Placed on his last 2 starts at Carlisle and now 2 lb lower than for his aforementioned success here but he nevertheless looks vulnerable for win purposes. Comes here in decent nick, third at Carlisle 18 days ago; this C&D winner is considered.
7	7 (7) (9/2 -13%) Grand Voyage		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(7) Grand Voyage 9/2, Long time without success and his record in this sphere stands at 1-19. On the upside, he has performed with credit on his last 2 starts, latterly finishing third of 7 over this C&D, and it would be no surprise to see him involved in the finish. Arrives in good form, a C&D third 24 days ago; can make his presence felt once more.
2	2 (2) (5/1 -67%) Step Above		5 5/1(-67%)																															(2) Step Above 5/1, Respectable fourth in 6-runner C&D handicap on penultimate start but has failed to complete either side of that, and he shapes as though a step back up in trip wouldn't go amiss. Fell heavily over C&D latest; ought to be thereabouts in bid for a first chase win.
9	9 (9) (13/2 +74%) Tenbobeachway		6.5 13/2(+74%)																															(9) Tenbobeachway 13/2, Didn't show much sent chasing following almost 2 years of at Wetherby last month and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Beat only one on his chasing debut at Wetherby last month; significantly more is required.
1	1 (1) (7/1 -56%) Fete Champetre		7 7/1(-56%)																															(1) Fete Champetre 7/1, Hasn't stood much racing in recent seasons but wasn't beaten far starting out for this yard back from 10 months off at Sedgefield (19.3f, good to soft) on Boxing Day. Jumping wasn't foot-perfect that day but he's on a workable mark and could be a factor if getting into a good rhythm here. Encouraging start for new yard when fourth at Sedgefield on Boxing Day; likely player.
4	4 (4) (14/1 +13%) Leading Force		14 14/1(+13%)																															(4) Leading Force 14/1, Seemingly needed the run after a break/wind-op at Musselburgh in December but has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, beaten a long way back hurdling last time. Recent form is not so encouraging, tenth at Musselburgh last month; others appeal more.
3	3 (3) (16/1 +0%) Overcourt		16 16/1(+0%)																															(3) Overcourt 16/1, Dual hurdles winner for Sandy Thomson who made the frame on his first 5 starts over fences. However, he has failed to complete on 3 of his last 4 appearances and while he managed to get around over C&D last time, there was little in that effort to suggest that his turn is near. Not disgraced when a C&D fourth 24 days ago; possibilities off a 3lb lower mark.
10	10 (10) (40/1 +20%) Ardera Cross		40 40/1(+20%)																															(10) Ardera Cross 40/1, Veteran who has 9 chase wins at this course to his name but hasn't looked as though he'll be adding to that tally anytime soon judged on his efforts so far this season. Multiple course scorer but this veteran chaser has been pulled up on his last three runs.

Although NIGHTS IN VENICE finished 22 lengths behind the winner when third at Carlisle 18 days ago, he makes plenty of appeal returning to the scene of his last triumph. Donald Whillans' charge is now 2lb below his last winning mark and should go well. Travail D'Orfevre scored on his penultimate outing at this venue in January and the nine-year-old is expected to be competitive. Fete Champetre is also worth a second look.

It's not hard to forgive TRAVAIL D'ORFEVRE for a rare below-par effort last time given his general consistency and, just 1 lb higher than for his 3m win here in January, he is taken to get his head back in front. Grand Voyage has shown enough the last twice to suggest that he will be competitive once more, while Fete Champetre will also be a threat granted an assured round of jumping.

Paul Robson's new recruit FETE CHAMPETRE shaped well after an absence when fourth at Sedgefield last time and can resume winning ways.

9	9 (9) (13/8 +82%) Elusiveness		1.625 13/8(+82%)																															(9) Elusiveness 13/8, Runner-up on her handicap debut at this track on final start of last season. Has matched that form this season with creditable fifth of 10 at Ffos Las (21.9f) in November but slightly below-form when finishing midfield at Taunton the following month. Mark is falling but may still have a bit to find. C&D second on handicap debut last April but not quite in same form this season.
1	1 (1) (3/1 +25%) Sweet Caryline		3 3/1(+25%)																															(1) Sweet Caryline 3/1, Made a winning handicap debut at Fontwell (19f, good) in November but hasn't bettered that effort in two subsequent runs, chasing home a well-treated horse on her first run after wind surgery at Kempton (2m) last time. Still lightly-raced and further improvement not ruled out now back up in trip. Twice in the frame since her winning handicap debut; has another big role to play here.
12	12 (12) (6/1 +63%) My Granny Lily		6 6/1(+63%)																															(12) My Granny Lily 6/1, Got off the mark in 2m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in February and ended the season in good form. Hasn't been anywhere near that level this season, pulling up on her last two starts, latest when returned to hurdles in January. Connections try blinkers, which need to spark a revival. Out of form this season; needs headgear switch to give her major boost.
8	8 (8) (8/1 -482%) Jacksbar		8 8/1(-482%)																															(8) Jacksbar 8/1, Much improved as she got off the mark at sixth time of asking (despite being easy to back), travelling smoothly in first-time hood when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft, 20/1) 87 days ago. Leading claims if in the same kind of form following a short break. Improved form when clearcut winner at Uttoxeter in December; further progress is possible.
10	10 (10) (12/1 +25%) Nobody's Perfect		12 12/1(+25%)																															(10) Nobody's Perfect 12/1, Showed most promise on final qualifying run when fourth of 6 at Huntingdon (15.8f) having been considerately handled once her chance had gone but failed to build on that when disappointing on handicap debut in January. Chance if she can bounce back. Still unexposed over hurdles but struggled on handicap debut in January.
4	4 (4) (16/1 +0%) Northern Symphonie		16 16/1(+0%)																															(4) Northern Symphonie 16/1, Disappointed following an encouraging debut in bumpers and has shown only minor promise in her qualifying runs. Step up in trip and switch to handicap company could bring about improvement. Safely held in three novice hurdles this winter but open to improvement in handicaps.
2	2 (2) (20/1 -25%) Reel Orange		20 20/1(-25%)																															(2) Reel Orange 20/1, Placed twice in bumpers (for Sam Curling in Ireland first occasion) and took a step forward when third of 14 in 2m novice hurdle at this venue in January. Out of her depth in a better race over C&D last month and this looks a more realistic assignment. Well beaten in C&D novice last month but earlier 2m third here was promising.
11	11 (11) (25/1 -56%) Prairie Queen		25 25/1(-56%)																															(11) Prairie Queen 25/1, Poor form at best in bumpers and over hurdles, looking a hard ride (hung badly right) when fifth of 10 in 19.5f Bangor handicap 28 days ago. A return to a right-handed track may help but it's still hard to be overly positive about her chances. Second handicap run was much better than her first; needs another step forward here.
3	3 (3) (50/1 -488%) English Willow		50 50/1(-488%)																															(3) English Willow 50/1, Yard knows this family well and she offered some promise when third in mares' novice at Uttoxeter (22.2f, heavy) in December. Misfired at Wincanton next time but it's still early days and she could be seen in a better light now pitched into a handicap wearing first-time tongue tie. Struggled on heavy ground last time but was placed in a novice in December; handicap debut.
7	7 (7) (50/1 -100%) Lady Showtime		50 50/1(-100%)																															(7) Lady Showtime 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't discredited when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) July and likely needed the run (after 7-months off) when seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, soft, 18/1) 17 days ago. May yet be capable of better. Well beaten on handicap debut but that came after a layoff; remains unexposed.

JACKSBAR produced a 20/1 surprise when scoring comfortably in this grade at Uttoxeter in December and she has been given a 9lb rise. Considering the manner of the victory that day, she looks the one to beat. Sweet Caryline finished a well-held second in a stronger event at Kempton last month and is respected off a 1lb lower rating. Prairie Queen showed more when fifth at Bangor latest and is another to note.

Having showed much improved form when getting off the mark at the sixth time of asking, JACKSBAR may be able to follow up that victory if in the same sort of form 3 months on. The biggest threat may come from Sweet Caryline who is also lightly-raced and has proved she can mix it at this level. Nobody's Perfect showed some promise on her final qualifying run and despite not running up to form last time, she has a chance if she can bounce back.

Jacksbar is respected but preference is for class-dropper SWEET CARYLINE, who kept on for a clear second at Kempton last month.

6	6 (6) (13/8 +19%) Captain Ciano		1.625 13/8(+19%)																															(6) Captain Ciano 13/8, Fair maiden. 50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good seventh of 14 in maiden at this course (8f) 7 days ago. Holds leading form claims. More promising efforts here recently over 1m; not sure drop in trip here in his favour.
5	5 (5) (2/1 +27%) Merchants Arch		2 2/1(+27%)																															(5) Merchants Arch 2/1, Fair gelding. Good third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (5/4) 23 days ago, meeing some trouble. Visor on 1st time and well in the mix. Proven recent C&D handicap form could count for a lot here despite ratings differential.
1	1 (1) (7/2 +22%) Shamanka		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(1) Shamanka 7/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Not disgraced when a fading sixth of 14 in maiden (10/3) at this course (8f) 35 days ago. Needs considering reverted in trip. Return to 7f to suit but no easy task at the weights.
2	2 (2) (9/1 -29%) Timandi		9 9/1(-29%)																															(2) Timandi 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in maiden at this C&D (6/1) 23 days ago. Booking of Burns a plus so possibilities. Likely has a bit to find but rider's claim could bring her into the mix.
7	7 (7) (16/1 -100%) Elegante Lady		16 16/1(-100%)																															(7) Elegante Lady 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, last of 12 in maiden at this course (6f), missing break. Off 98 days. Official mark of 70 gives her claims but not sure if she warrants that.
4	4 (4) (28/1 -75%) Letters Of Love		28 28/1(-75%)																															(4) Letters Of Love 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in maiden at this course (8f, 40/1) 21 days ago. Two runs here over the winter leave her with plenty to find.
3	3 (3) (33/1 -32%) Far Above Dream		33 33/1(-32%)																															(3) Far Above Dream 33/1, 5,000 gns foal, €7,000 yearling, Far Above gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 6f winner Copleys Walk and 7f winner Opening Verse. Market best guide on debut but likely all the better for the experience.
8	8 (8) (40/1 -100%) Weegeebear		40 40/1(-100%)																															(8) Weegeebear 40/1, Modest gelding. 22/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago. More is needed. Regressive for current yard; plenty to find with Merchants Arch on latest C&D handicap run.

CAPTAIN CIANO and Shamanka were only separated by a nose in a mile maiden earlier this year and the Jack Davison-trained gelding now reopposes on significantly better terms. The selection probably ran to a similar level last Friday, while Shamanka and Timandi are very closely matched on their run over C&D in December. Elegante Lady is on an attractive weight judged on the pick of her form and it's probably best to put a line through her latest effort after clipping heels early on.

CAPTAIN CIANO possesses the best form on show so is taken to open his account at the chief expense of Merchants Arch who didn't enjoy the clearest of runs when a good C&D sixth last time out. Shamanka can also have a say reverted to her optimum distance.

Merchants Arch brings a solid level of dependable handicap form but may nopt be able to concede weight to Captain Ciano

1	1 (1) (8/11 +64%) Joker De Mai		0.727273 8/11(+64%)																															(1) Joker De Mai 8/11, Useful chaser in France and also landed 2m3f handicap hurdle at Lingfield for his new yard last winter. Has held form since and travelled well for a long way when third on hunter chase debut at Taunton (21.7f) in January and feasible to think he could step up on that. Solid third in a Taunton hunter chase and has less to prove than a few of these.
3	3 (3) (7/2 -75%) Yccs Portocervo		3.5 7/2(-75%)																															(3) Yccs Portocervo 7/2, Useful chaser who landed pair of hunters before completing hat-trick at Market Rasen last summer. Off since coming in fourteenth in Summer Plate at Market Rasen 7 months ago but has won off a break and he's a player returned to this company. Still smart last summer; can go well fresh and should be a major player at this level.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +36%) A Jet Of Our Own		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(4) A Jet Of Our Own 9/2, Prolific winner in points who started Rules career in same vein when winning hunter at Cheltenham (16.3f) last May. However, well held between the Flags in recent months and he was in trouble some way out when pulled up at Taunton on latest outing 58 days ago. Bounce back required. Pulled up at Taunton in January and Joker De Mai was third that day.
6	6 (6) (11/1 -120%) Fan De Blues		11 11/1(-120%)																															(6) Fan De Blues 11/1, Smart handicap chaser who has been absent since finishing sixth in the Topham over the National fences at Aintree on final start for Willie Mullins in April 2023. Things clearly haven't been plain sailing since so the betting can likely prove an informative guide on hunter debut. Formerly smart but absent for nearly two years; likely best watched.
2	2 (2) (16/1 -113%) One True King		16 16/1(-113%)																															(2) One True King 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser for Nigel Twiston-Davies. Arrives fit from the pointing field, albeit beaten a long way when fifth on latest outing in February. Useful handicapper last year but has struggled in this winter's points.
5	5 (5) (150/1 -275%) Cooldine Bog		150 150/1(-275%)																															(5) Cooldine Bog 150/1, Largely struggled to make an impact in hunters around this time last year. Lines up here having won a small-field contest between the Flags last month but this a much taller ask returned to this company. It was effectively a match when winning his recent point; up against it.

YCCS PORTOCERVO shouldn't be judged too harshly on his Summer Plate effort at Market Rasen in July with the step up in grade a probable excuse for underperforming. Previous to that blip, the veteran had racked up a hat-trick and he makes grand appeal reverting to a hunter chase. Stable debutant Fan De Blues boasted some smart form when under the tutelage of Willie Mullins and market support on his return from a 693-day absence would be interesting. Joker De Mai is also noted.

YCCS PORTOCERVO has an absence to overcome but his record fresh is a positive one, so he's fancied to hit the ground running back from 9 months off and take his record in hunters to 3 wins from 4 starts. Joker de Mai shaped as if he'd come on for his reappearance third at Taunton in January and he rates the chief danger.

He's still only a 6yo and JOKER DE MAI ran perfectly well on his return from a break on his hunter chase debut at Taunton.

2	2 (2) (9/4 -38%) Le Grand Vert		2.25 9/4(-38%)																															(2) Le Grand Vert 9/4, Winner of Roscommon handicap chase on debut for Philip Dempsey last summer and has made a positive start for this yard, too, finishing third at Down Royal in January and filled the same spot over this C&D the following month. This Irish raider has to enter calculations. Irish raider; two sound runs for this yard (3rd over C&D last time); should go well again.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +43%) Hold The Note		4 4/1(+43%)																															(6) Hold The Note 4/1, Step back in the right direction when third of 11 in a Carlisle handicap chase last spring but it's been downhill since and others make more appeal. Stable in form; last win was nearly two years ago and plenty to find with Le Grand Vert.
7	7 (7) (4/1 +43%) Euchan Falls		4 4/1(+43%)																															(7) Euchan Falls 4/1, Several good efforts in defeat last term but yet to fire this season and losing run stretches back to March 2023. Won 2m4f hurdle at this meeting in 2023; not at his best over fences last five starts.
5	5 (5) (17/2 +15%) Leitrim Chief		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(5) Leitrim Chief 17/2, howed ability over hurdles and stepped up on his chase debut when third of 12 in a Hexham handicap (15.6f, heavy) last spring. Hasn't come close to matching that form in 3 starts this time round, though, and hopes now pinned on the first-time blinkers sparking a revival. 0-10; fair third over 1m7f in April; not run as well since; up in trip with blinkers tried.
9	9 (9) (10/1 +64%) Great Raffles		10 10/1(+64%)																															(9) Great Raffles 10/1, Won twice over hurdles earlier in his career but no real impact following 6 attempts in this sphere. Dual hurdle winner in 2022; not as good over fences so far and is 4lb out of the handicap.
8	8 (8) (11/1 +21%) Bowler Jack		11 11/1(+21%)																															(8) Bowler Jack 11/1, Little worthwhile form in bumpers/over hurdles and failed to complete on chase debut over C&D last month. Modest hurdler who fell on his chase debut over C&D last time; plenty to prove.
4	4 (4) (11/1 -529%) Gipsy Lee Rose		11 11/1(-529%)																															(4) Gipsy Lee Rose 11/1, Hit the target twice last season and has already matched that tally this time round, winning 2 of her last 3 starts at Carlisle. Up 4 lb for latest success in a 21f soft-ground handicap and moving back up in trip will be no bad thing but this is more demanding. Has won 2 of her last 3 races, both at Carlisle; contender but seems best on stiff tracks.
1	1 (1) (14/1 +72%) Global Assembly		14 14/1(+72%)																															(1) Global Assembly 14/1, Dual winning pointer who showed fair form in hunters for David Christie but he hasn't fired back under Rules the last twice. Best to look elsewhere. Ex-Irish pointer/hunter chaser; two good runs hunter chasing last March; not so good since.

Gipsy Lee Rose bids for a third win from her last four starts and she warrants respect in her current form, while Le Grand Vert finished third over C&D last month. However, HOLD THE NOTE finished behind the latter in sixth on that occasion and, having shaped better than the beaten distance suggests, Ewan Whillans' gelding could be worth chancing off a 4lb lower mark.

It's hard to escape the claims of FAIRLAWN FLYER, who dodges a penalty for Tuesday's decisive success under Shane Fenelon in a conditional jockeys' handicap at Market Rasen. A reproduction of that performance would be more than sufficient. Le Grand Vert is the most appealing for forecast purposes, with the in-form Gipsy Lee Rose looking vulnerable following a 4 lb rise for her latest Carlisle success.

This can go to LE GRAN VERT who was a good third over C&D last time. Gipsy Lee Rose looks his main threat.

2	2 (2) (5/4 +29%) Alex The Great		1.25 5/4(+29%)																															(2) Alex The Great 5/4, Latest win at Kempton in January. Respectable third of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Kempton (16f) 9 days ago, needing stiffer test. Has to be taken seriously. Two wins this winter; latest third came in a deeper race; big player back down in class.
8	8 (8) (7/2 +68%) Typewritten		3.5 7/2(+68%)																															(8) Typewritten 7/2, Unreliable sort. Twenty-two runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 9 in handicap (14/1) at this course (12.4f) 35 days ago, slowly away. Significantly back up in trip and she again looks vulnerable. Just missed out over C&D in January; none too consistent but capable on a good day.
4	4 (4) (13/2 +19%) Man Of Action		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(4) Man Of Action 13/2, First run since leaving Andrew Kinirons when seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D (10/3) 20 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces sparking a return to form. Failed to reward market support on stable debut here last month; now tried in cheekpieces.
5	5 (5) (17/2 +29%) Quercus Robur		8.5 17/2(+29%)																															(5) Quercus Robur 17/2, C&D winner. 22/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. Conditions to suit but he has yet to find his feet this winter after a lengthy absence.
9	9 (9) (12/1 -9%) Star Of Markinch		12 12/1(-9%)																															(9) Star Of Markinch 12/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (12.4f, 16/1) 35 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and will need to find improvement from somewhere if she's to finally open her account but certainly not without each-way hope. Exposed maiden but twice placed over C&D this winter; others stronger for the win.
1	1 (1) (14/1 -75%) Man Of Riddles		14 14/1(-75%)																															(1) Man Of Riddles 14/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 8 days ago and this 7-y-o is likely to find a few too good once more. On a fair mark and he should be at concert pitch after two runs back from an absence.
7	7 (7) (16/1 -129%) Unification		16 16/1(-129%)																															(7) Unification 16/1, Creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 22/1) 8 days ago. Up in trip and sports a first time tongue strap and visor here. Place possibilities. Looks limited but not beaten far last week and now accessories are reached for.
3	3 (3) (25/1 -56%) Grand Scheme		25 25/1(-56%)																															(3) Grand Scheme 25/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap (18/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 17 days ago. Opposable. Struggled on the Flat for this yard but he's tumbled down the weights; check the betting.
10	10 (10) (40/1 -21%) Freewheelin		40 40/1(-21%)																															(10) Freewheelin 40/1, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 48 days ago. Others more persuasive. Conditions fine but he's yet to shine for this yard; others have less to prove.
6	6 (6) (50/1 -150%) Opera King		50 50/1(-150%)																															(6) Opera King 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. 150/1, fifth of 6 in novice at Southwell (12.1f) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip for this handicap debut and big step forward needed. Step up in trip/switch to handicaps offer hope of better but he's not a convincing option.

ALEX THE GREAT boasts the most compelling recent form and should have no issues reverting to Tapeta after a win and a third-placed finish on Polytrack at Kempton. Allied to that, the talented Jack Doughty retains the ride and his 3lb claim is a prized asset. Star Of Markinch, who was a respectable third over C&D on her penultimate start, is feared most back over this trip. Man Of Riddles also rates a player.

Given the dearth of in-form candidates on show, ALEX THE GREAT looks the safest option. He scored in good style at Kempton on his penultimate start and lost little caste in defeat when third in a higher-grade handicap at the same course next time, leaving the impression that this stiffer track would be right up his street. Unification and Star of Markinch can fill the places.

With solid options few and far between this looks best left to the in-form ALEX THE GREAT (nap) now he returns to Class 6 company.

8	8 (8) (7/2 +50%) Coconut Twist		3.5 7/2(+50%)																															(8) Coconut Twist 7/2, Landed a gamble back hurdling in 15-runner handicap at this track (21.6f, heavy) in January and built on that effort with an encouraging third of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 26 days ago. Seems ground versatile and should run his race again with blinkers refitted. Exploited lower hurdle mark with 2m5f win here in January; close up since; contender.
10	10 (10) (9/2 +55%) Scorsese		4.5 9/2(+55%)																															(10) Scorsese 9/2, Showed fair form in maiden hurdles in Ireland but has been soundly beaten for current yard, although showed more promise in first-time cheekpieces when sixth of 8 at Southwell in November. Blinkers fitted instead and one to note in the market over a longer trip with a positive jockey booking. Irish point winner; finding it a grind in handicaps and now up in trip; different headgear.
7	7 (7) (9/2 -157%) River Voyage		4.5 9/2(-157%)																															(7) River Voyage 9/2, Revitalised on testing ground in February, second of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (23.6f) after 3 months off before winning a 6-runner handicap easily at Ffos Las (23f, heavy) later that month. Faces different conditions but is in excellent heart and has to be respected under a 7 lb penalty. In good shape back from break; 4lb well in under penalty for wide-margin 3m win last week.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +44%) Native Moon		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(4) Native Moon 9/2, A trio of creditable efforts since joining this yard but has been making hard work of things in his races, finishing a well-held fourth of 14 at this venue (heavy, 21.6f) 2 weeks ago. While he may be better suited by the step up in trip/first-time blinkers, others are preferred on recent evidence. Two fair runs at Taunton (3m); further adrift here since; blinkers replace cheekpieces.
5	5 (5) (8/1 +20%) Ri Na Cuirte		8 8/1(+20%)																															(5) Ri Na Cuirte 8/1, Well-backed and much improved after 6 months off when narrowly landing a 3¼m Fontwell handicap hurdle in November. Matched that form with third in stronger race at Ascot (first 2 winners next time) a fortnight on and having flopped on chase debut 67 days ago, could well bounce back over hurdles. Modest chase debut latest; in good form in staying handicap hurdles earlier; in contention.
11	11 (11) (17/2 +15%) Chauffeur Driven		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(11) Chauffeur Driven 17/2, Still a maiden but a change of headgear (visor which is retained) made the difference when bouncing back to form finishing second at this venue (21.6f heavy) 2 weeks ago. Has a chance if in the visor has similarly positive effect now stepping up in trip back on a sounder surface. Back near best here (2m5f) last time but has unexposed rivals against him now.
9	9 (9) (14/1 +44%) Daring Plan		14 14/1(+44%)																															(9) Daring Plan 14/1, Placed in a maiden/handicap at this course last season but hasn't been able to replicate that form over fences this season. Returns to smaller obstacles but others make more appeal on recent form. Dropped right down weights now back hurdling but needs to prove he stays this far.
2	2 (2) (14/1 -75%) All Inn Hand		14 14/1(-75%)																															(2) All Inn Hand 14/1, Left bumper efforts behind when third in a maiden at Stratford (22f) on hurdles bow in October and caught the eye when bouncing back to form over an inadequate trip/under an inexperienced rider when rallying to finish fourth at Warwick (19f). Interesting back up in trip with Sean Bowen taking over. Looked a stayer in the making over 2m6f in October; part to play now switched to handicap.
3	3 (3) (25/1 -79%) Rock On Cowboy		25 25/1(-79%)																															(3) Rock On Cowboy 25/1, Showed promise in novice hurdles for Ben Pauling but regressed towards end of 2023 season. Took a step towards rediscovering his best form when third on stable debut (after 22-months off) at the start of February. That was encouraging but needs to prove he can back up that effort. Kept good company for B Pauling; looked to retain ability back from absence for new yard.
6	6 (6) (33/1 0%) Can't Say		33 33/1(0%)																															(6) Can't Say 33/1, Suited by the longer trip when showing much improved form to win 3m Ffos Las handicap in May. Well-held fifth on his reappearance at this venue in January (may have needed the run) but disappointed when jumping poorly at Wincanton last month, pulling up. Cheekpieces on and has a bit to prove now. Lightly raced; won his second handicap, over 3m on good to soft last May; minor form since.
1	1 (1) (40/1 -233%) Just A Memory		40 40/1(-233%)																															(1) Just A Memory 40/1, Failed to build on earlier promise when fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (23f, soft) at the end of January. More needed now going into handicaps. Improved for step up to 3m in January; tailed off since; this is more her level.
12	12 (12) (66/1 +34%) Alderley Charlie		66 66/1(+34%)																															(12) Alderley Charlie 66/1, No promise in his 3 qualifying runs and has fared little better in handicaps. Now upped in trip but has plenty to find from 4 lb out of the handicap. Minor form so far, including in two handicaps; down the list from out of the weights.

RIVER VOYAGE justified favouritism in no uncertain terms when bolting up at Ffos Las on his latest outing and he has a 7lb penalty to carry for that success. If the seven-year-old remains in similar form, he will prove very hard to beat. Coconut Twist made the frame in this grade over an extended 2m3f at Chepstow last time and should go well, while Rock On Cowboy is another to watch out for.

ALL INN HAND shaped encouragingly when staying on over an inadequate trip last time and now facing a greater test of stamina, he makes plenty of each-way appeal with Sean Bowen taking over in the saddle. River Voyage will be facing quicker ground conditions but warrants plenty of respect on the back of his facile Ffos Las success, while the versatile Coconut Twist merits consideration following another creditable effort at Chepstow last month.

This isn't necessarily a shoo-in for RIVER VOYAGE but he was an untroubled winner at Ffos Las last week and is well in under a penalty.

First run for yard after leaving Patrick Martin. Hood on 1st time. Enters calculations with Colin Keane doing the steering. Placed twice here for Pat Martin, interesting with Colin Keane aboard and a hood fitted..

6	6 (6) (17/2 -42%) Notforalongtime		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(6) Notforalongtime 17/2, 3-time C&D winner. 11/1 and blinkered for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Should remain competitive up 6 lb. Reduced mark and first-time blinkers did the trick when he won here three week ago, up 6lb.
11	11 (11) (10/1 +50%) Roderick		10 10/1(+50%)																															(11) Roderick 10/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 52 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. 4-23 on turf, 0-16 on AW, second over 1m on penultimate start, others preferred.
1	1 (1) (11/1 -83%) Finsceal Annie		11 11/1(-83%)																															(1) Finsceal Annie 11/1, Career best when winning 14-runner C&D handicap in November by head from Nikki Swango, always holding on. Off 107 days. Can give a good account is resuming in similar form. Has gone to a career-high mark as a result of good form here in November.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -71%) Circles		12 12/1(-71%)																															(7) Circles 12/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Respectable 4¾ lengths seventh of 14 to Notforalongtime in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 21 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark. Twice a winner over C&D two years ago, close third over C&D in December, mid-field latest.
12	12 (12) (14/1 -17%) Jackandthefox		14 14/1(-17%)																															(12) Jackandthefox 14/1, 40/1, good 2½ lengths fourth of 14 to Notforalongtime in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Made the frame for the first time when fourth behind Notforalongtime recently, more needed.
13	13 (13) (20/1 -25%) Knockmore Prince		20 20/1(-25%)																															(13) Knockmore Prince 20/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 14/1, respectable 3¾ lengths fifth of 14 to Notforalongtime in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, never nearer. 22-race maiden, best form has been at this venue, placed five times from 14 visits.
3	3 (3) (22/1 -10%) Superior Force		22 22/1(-10%)																															(3) Superior Force 22/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 11 in claimer at this C&D (40/1) 35 days ago. Fair course form for Adrian Murray early last year, below best in three runs for this yard.
14	14 (14) (28/1 -100%) Royal Tribute		28 28/1(-100%)																															(14) Royal Tribute 28/1, C&D winner. Two wins from 46 Flat runs. Ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 12/1) 28 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Needs a couple of these to falter. 1-29 AW record is a major concern though placed eight times at this venue.
5	5 (5) (33/1 -106%) Nikki Swango		33 33/1(-106%)																															(5) Nikki Swango 33/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 50/1, seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (8f) 39 days ago. Third in a C&D claimer in December, unplaced in four appearances for this stable.
10	10 (10) (33/1 -65%) Suityourselfboss		33 33/1(-65%)																															(10) Suityourselfboss 33/1, Course winner. Ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, 18/1) 84 days ago. Has work to do. Win here last April came over 1m, subsequent form leaves her with plenty to find..
9	9 (9) (50/1 -100%) Bucky Larson		50 50/1(-100%)																															(9) Bucky Larson 50/1, Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, 8 lengths twelfth of 14 to Amemri in handicap at this C&D 37 days ago. Three-time course winner, last success was in a claimer in 2022, long losing sequence.

AMEMRI has gained all bar one of her six career wins over this trip and is taken to complete a C&D hat-trick following wins in December and January. She will need a career best to score here but the form of her latest win has been well advertised since. Notforalongtime was behind the selection last time and he had Pink Oxalis just over a length away in third when successful here last month. Still She Blooms and Knockmore Prince are others to consider.

PINK OXALIS has knocked on the door here this winter and is taken to get off the mark. Colin Keane takes over the reins on Still She Blooms who can turn around recent C&D placings with the hat-trick seeking Amemri and provide the main threat. Last month's C&D scorer Notforalongtime completes the shortlist.

Colin Keane may be able to guide STILL SHE BLOOMS to success on her first start for Chris Timmins who fits her with a hood

4	4 (4) (15/8 +38%) Darlo Pride		1.875 15/8(+38%)																															(4) Darlo Pride 15/8, C&D winner. Three wins from 17 runs last year, latest at Wolverhampton in December. 9/4, again ran creditably when fourth of 8 in handicap at same course (5.1f) 25 days ago. Proving largely consistent so should go well again. Two wins in December, including C&D; held his form since; should be in the thick of it.
5	5 (5) (9/4 +32%) Ganesha		2.25 9/4(+32%)																															(5) Ganesha 9/4, C&D winner. 15/2, offered something to work on returning from 10 weeks off (had breathing operation in the interim) when third of 10 in handicap at this C&D 3 weeks ago. Player if building on that from his much-reduced mark. Ran well after a wind op when third over C&D three weeks ago; dangerous with a repeat.
6	6 (6) (5/1 -11%) Gustav Graves		5 5/1(-11%)																															(6) Gustav Graves 5/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year. Found run of good form coming to a halt when ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 17/2) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Bounce back required. Not at best last time but he'd been in fine form beforehand; contender for a minor place.
3	3 (3) (11/2 +27%) Princess Karine		5.5 11/2(+27%)																															(3) Princess Karine 11/2, Shaped as if needing the run after 4 months off when last of 10 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) just under 6 weeks ago. This should reveal more. She's tumbled down the weights but January's return didn't suggest she was ready to strike.
2	2 (2) (12/1 -118%) Frank The Spark		12 12/1(-118%)																															(2) Frank The Spark 12/1, Three wins from 8 runs last year. Latest win at Beverley in August. Respectable third of 9 in handicap (9/4) at Ayr (5f, good to firm) when last seen in September, staying on final 1f. May need this outing on reappearance (did last season). Progressive sprinter last season; should have more to come; 169-day break the query.
7	7 (7) (14/1 -17%) No Speed Limit		14 14/1(-17%)																															(7) No Speed Limit 14/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 66/1, below form sixth of 11 in claimer at Dundalk (6f) 7 days ago, doing too much too soon. Not easy to make a case for. Engaged 7.30 here Thursday. Veteran Irish raider who is 5lb out of the weights; runs 7.30 Newcastle Thursday.
1	1 (1) (22/1 -175%) Keldeo		22 22/1(-175%)																															(1) Keldeo 22/1, Latest win at Catterick in September. Not in same form when last of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good, 7/1) just less than a fortnight later. Wasn't beaten far despite finishing last here on her only previous all-weather start and is respected provided she's ready to roll. Three 5f wins on turf; back from a break perhaps not the time to catch her.

It has been a busy all-weather campaign for Darlo Pride since he joined his current yard but he continues to run enthusiastically and, as a previous C&D winner, another bold showing is likely. However, GANESHA wasn't beaten far on his return from wind surgery in a similar event last month and could be tough to beat if building on that. The in-form Frank The Spark and Gustav Graves are other viable options.

A trappy sprint in which the suggestion is DARLO PRIDE, who has been largely consistent since landing a double in December and Michael Dods' 5-y-o can add career victory number 7 to his tally at the expense of Ganesha, who offered something to work on returning from 10 weeks off from a much-reduced mark when third over C&D recently. The returning Keldeo looks best of the rest.

Ganesha can go well but the reliable DARLO PRIDE should give his running and that may be enough in today's field.

3	3 (3) (7/2 0%) I'm Spartacus		3.5 7/2(0%)																															(3) I'm Spartacus 7/2, 10/3, career best when winning 13-runner C&D handicap 23 days ago. A 4 lb rise looks fair. One to consider for McGuinness. Gained his second C&D win here last month, four 6f AW wins in all, strong chance again.
8	8 (8) (4/1 +43%) Winemaker		4 4/1(+43%)																															(8) Winemaker 4/1, Course winner. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at this course (7f, 5/1) 14 days ago. Four wins including two at this venue; falling in the ratings after several unplaced runs.
6	6 (6) (9/2 +55%) Velvet Skies		4.5 9/2(+55%)																															(6) Velvet Skies 9/2, One win from 27 Flat runs. Twenty one runs since last win in 2023. 5/1, respectable 2¼ lengths sixth of 14 to Hasiyna over C&D 37 days ago, left poorly placed. Interesting with Billy Lee taking over from an apprentice. Poor strike rate, good second here on penultimate start, not far off I'm Spartacus latest.
5	5 (5) (11/2 +8%) Devil's Angel		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(5) Devil's Angel 11/2, Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fourth of 11 in claimer at this C&D (11/1) 7 days ago. Has Colin Keane up. Eight-time winner, on a long losing sequence but has been consistent since last autumn.
1	1 (1) (7/1 +50%) James Henry		7 7/1(+50%)																															(1) James Henry 7/1, C&D winner. Ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 22/1) 77 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Leanne Breen. Needs a couple of these to falter. Consistent performer at this venue at one stage, well below best last two starts, new yard.
13	13 (13) (17/2 +23%) Rattletheonionbag		8.5 17/2(+23%)																															(13) Rattletheonionbag 17/2, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 11/1, good ¾-length third of 13 to I'm Spartacus in C&D handicap 23 days ago, nearest finish. 17-race maiden but worth considering on the strength of his third behind I'm Spartacus.
7	7 (7) (10/1 -43%) Macadam's Rock		10 10/1(-43%)																															(7) Macadam's Rock 10/1, Course winner. 25/1, below form eighth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to firm), merely passing beaten rivals. Off 7 months. All three wins have been over 7f at this venue, may find this a bit sharp after a break.
2	2 (2) (11/1 -120%) Dream Today		11 11/1(-120%)																															(2) Dream Today 11/1, 4-time C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. 11/2, fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (5f) 21 days ago, inadequate test. Trainer going well. Has good chance on pick of form. Four-time C&D winner, has struggled to find his best form since second here in November.
9	9 (9) (14/1 +0%) Happy For Evva		14 14/1(+0%)																															(9) Happy For Evva 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 14 in maiden (6/1) at this C&D 77 days ago. Unexposed handicap newcomer. Went close over C&D on her final start last year, may find a few older rivals too strong.
11	11 (11) (22/1 -175%) Hasiyna		22 22/1(-175%)																															(11) Hasiyna 22/1, C&D winner in January. 14/1, good 1¼ lengths fourth of 13 to I'm Spartacus back here 23 days ago. Two C&D wins since December, fourth behind I'm Spartacus last time, 10lb claimer.
4	4 (4) (40/1 -100%) Hero Of The Hour		40 40/1(-100%)																															(4) Hero Of The Hour 40/1, Three wins from 15 runs last year. Seventh of 11 in C&D handicap (22/1) 84 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. His six wins include four at this track, below his best in his final four starts in 2024.
10	10 (10) (40/1 -100%) Moonhall Lass		40 40/1(-100%)																															(10) Moonhall Lass 40/1, Last of 5 in minor event at this C&D (12/1) 21 days ago. Twice second over 5f here at two, trainer may have a better chance with Happy For Evva.
12	12 (12) (66/1 -32%) Gimmieminnie		66 66/1(-32%)																															(12) Gimmieminnie 66/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap (100/1) at this course (7f) 37 days ago, reportedly bled. Big prices when down the field in three handicap attempts at this venue, makes no appeal.

HAPPY FOR EVVA has been placed twice in four maiden starts, both over this C&D, and may have more scope for improvement than her rivals as she steps into handicap company for the first time. She showed plenty of pace when second last time and gets the vote over I'm Spartacus, who had Rattletheonionbag and Hasiyna behind when recording a fourth career win over this trip last month. Velvet Skies merits respect, while Devil's Angel is another to note with Colin Keane taking the ride.

VELVET SKIES had an excuse last time and is given another chance to confirm the promise of her penultimate C&D second with Billy Lee taking the ride this time. Dream Today is at the veteran stage but is still a potential class act at this level and is feared most ahead of last-time-out C&D scorer I'm Spartacus.

A reproduction of his good run behind the in-form Fly To Glory here in January might be enough to see VELVET SKIES home in front

2	2 (2) (5/2 +9%) Kats Bob		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(2) Kats Bob 5/2, First run since leaving Iain Jardine when won 8-runner C&D handicap 15 days ago. A 2 lb nudge may not prevent him following up. Winning stable debut over C&D two weeks ago; 2lb rise not beyond him; contender.
6	6 (6) (10/3 +49%) Wild Mountain		3.333333 10/3(+49%)																															(6) Wild Mountain 10/3, One win from 26 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 9/2) 52 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Engaged 8.30 here Thursday. Poor strike-rate; near miss at Dundalk in December; due to run in the 8.30 on Thursday.
7	7 (7) (13/2 -86%) Tantomile		6.5 13/2(-86%)																															(7) Tantomile 13/2, 10/3 and hooded first time, career best when winning 9-runner apprentice handicap at Southwell (6f) under Ethan Tindall last Saturday. Escapes a penalty so should make another bold bid. Comfortable winner at Southwell last week (6f); no penalty; unexposed in the hood.
5	5 (5) (15/2 +46%) Asadjumeirah		7.5 15/2(+46%)																															(5) Asadjumeirah 15/2, Two C&D wins this year and latest fifth of 11 here was also creditable. Two C&D wins this year; solid effort from stall 1 last week; shouldn't be far away.
4	4 (4) (18/1 -13%) Prince Of Bel Lir		18 18/1(-13%)																															(4) Prince Of Bel Lir 18/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Creditable third at Kempton next time but hasn't beaten a rival in 2 runs since. Needs a change of headgear (first-time blinkers for cheekpieces) to help spark a revival. 6f Tapeta win in January; caught wide when well beaten latest; new headgear; not solid.

TANTOMILE picked up nicely to win an apprentice handicap at Southwell on Saturday and, given she escapes a penalty, she has a good chance of following up if the retained headgear has the same impact. Fellow last-time-out winner Kats Bob is an obvious danger off just 2lb higher, while Asadjumeirah is hard to get right but cannot be ruled out given he is still attractively weighted.

It's possibly best to focus on last-time-out winners KATS BOB and Tantomile, with the former taken to make it 2-2 since joining Ruth Carr.

Former stablemates Kats Bob and SIBYL CHARM appeal most. The selection shaped as though a win was imminent here last month.

10	10 (10) (7/2 +71%) Beauforts Storm		3.5 7/2(+71%)																															(10) Beauforts Storm 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Makes polytrack debut. Fair on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Place possibilities. Has shown a good standard of form over hurdles since her last Flat run, strong chance.
4	4 (4) (5/1 +0%) Aird		5 5/1(+0%)																															(4) Aird 5/1, Didn't need to be at best when winning 9-runner maiden (11/5) at this course (12f) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Arguably lucky to avoid a rise in the ratings for a 1m4f maiden win last month, respected.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +35%) Palamon		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(2) Palamon 13/2, Twentieth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (24.1f, good to soft, 80/1) 34 days ago. Significantly back up in trip for this polytrack debut and blinkers for the first time on the Flat. Enters calculations. Ran well over this trip at the Curragh last summer, fit from hurdling, useful 7lb claimed.
8	8 (8) (15/2 +0%) Inchiquin Maid		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(8) Inchiquin Maid 15/2, C&D winner. 6/4, good ½-length second of 7 to Scott Lang in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago, clear of rest. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. C&D winner in December, coped well with 10lb rise when second to Scott Lang last month.
11	11 (11) (15/2 +0%) Nusra		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(11) Nusra 15/2, C&D winner. Creditable second of 13 in handicap (11/2) at this course (12f) 7 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and she's in with an each-way shout. C&D winner last March, solid chance having made the frame on last four starts at the venue.

This is tougher up 3 lb. Beat Inchiquin Maid here last month, has become reliable here and should not be far away.
1	1 (1) (12/1 -118%) Jerandme		12 12/1(-118%)																															(1) Jerandme 12/1, C&D winner. 16/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Something to find on form. Veteran who has been a versatile type, retains the ability to be competitive at this track.
13	13 (13) (12/1 +14%) Wrecking Ball Paul		12 12/1(+14%)																															(13) Wrecking Ball Paul 12/1, C&D winner. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Navan (21.8f, heavy, 22/1) 26 days ago, weakening quickly. Significantly up in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time. Little sign of his best form since winning this event last season, hard to be confident.
15	15 (15) (14/1 +0%) Indulging		14 14/1(+0%)																															(15) Indulging 14/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 8/1, respectable eighth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16.2f, good to soft) 81 days ago. Modest on the Flat, bit below form on last Flat outing. Difficult ask. RESERVE. First reserve, best run last year was over 7f at Laytown, 9lb out of the handicap.
12	12 (12) (16/1 +0%) Warrior Lion		16 16/1(+0%)																															(12) Warrior Lion 16/1, Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (12f, 12/1) 23 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and cheekpieces back on. Chance if rediscovering old form. Fair fifth over C&D on penultimate start, not as good over 1m4f last time.
9	9 (9) (18/1 +28%) The Truant		18 18/1(+28%)																															(9) The Truant 18/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.7f, good to soft, 28/1) 27 days ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Others more persuasive. Worth considering on last season's useful Flat form, should be fit after a hurdles outing.
6	6 (6) (20/1 -25%) Grappa Nonino		20 20/1(-25%)																															(6) Grappa Nonino 20/1, 50/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, twenty first of 23 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (19.8f, good) 69 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Fair staying handicapper on turf, no AW experience, weak form over hurdles this season.

Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Opposable. Useful handicap hurdler at her best, no fitness doubts but has been struggling lately.

AIRD proved a frustrating sort to follow before decisively opening her account over 1m4f here last month. The daughter of Teofilo finished strongly to suggest she can stay this extra half mile and remains on a reasonable mark. Pralognan has been placed twice here this winter, including when second over 1m4f, and is another that could find more progress. Scott Lang beat Inchiquin Maid by half a length over C&D last month and there shouldn't be much to choose between the pair again, while Nusra is another holding her form well at this venue.

PRALOGNAN could be the answer to this open-looking handicap with Derek O'Connor doing the steering. He failed to get competitive over hurdles at Down Royal last time but made the frame in 3 runs on the bounce here prior to that and stepping up to this trip looks a good move. Aird opened her account in a maiden here three weeks ago and is feared most ahead of Beauforts Storm and Nusra.

Rated 125 over hurdles after getting into the money in good company over hurdles, BEAUFORTS STORM gets the vote to exploit her 65 mark

8	8 (8) (40/1 +60%) Trojan Soldier		40 40/1(+60%)																															(8) Trojan Soldier 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, thirteenth of 16 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, soft), merely closing up late. Off 133 days. Three quick runs last October offered promise; likely improver when allocated a mark.
5	5 (5) (200/1 -100%) One True Thing		200 200/1(-100%)																															(5) One True Thing 200/1, 66/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Catterick (7f, good to firm) on debut. Off 7 months. Never in the hunt when 66-1 for his Catterick debut (7f) last July; best watched..

Nordic Norm made a pleasing introduction when victorious by a head over track and trip and with the likelihood of more to come, he has to be considered. However, the vote goes to ADVANCING, who beat a well-fancied favourite by over a length on his debut at Kempton last month. James Ferguson's three-year-old might have the edge on that form. Any market confidence behind the 125,000-euro purchase Topteam would be interesting.

Lots of potential on show and the vote goes to Hugo Palmer's son of Ghaiyyath MY KINDA GHAIY who shaped well on his debut when fourth at Southwell and can take a sizeable step forward now. Roger Varian's Frankel newcomer Rahiebb could emerge as the main danger ahead of recent debut scorers Advancing and Nordic Norm.

Advancing won well at Kempton on debut but NORDIC NORM could have his measure this time.

1	1 (1) (1/1 +47%) Dromore Glory		1 1/1(+47%)																															(1) Dromore Glory 1/1, C&D winner in January and good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (2/1) 23 days ago. Booking of Burns a plus. Should go well again. Excellent form over C&D since the starts of the year, rider's 7lb claim a major asset.
5	5 (5) (5/1 -11%) Gardone		5 5/1(-11%)																															(5) Gardone 5/1, Course winner. 5/1, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago. One for the shortlist. Needs to reverse the form of last month's clash with Dromore Glory and Slowdownbarney.
6	6 (6) (6/1 +0%) Slowdownbarney		6 6/1(+0%)																															(6) Slowdownbarney 6/1, Creditable third of 14 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 23 days ago, faring best of those held up. Considered. Closely matched with Gallo Dell Cielo and Dromore Glory based on two C&D third places.
10	10 (10) (9/1 -157%) Rock Basher		9 9/1(-157%)																															(10) Rock Basher 9/1, 11/2, first run since leaving Luke Comer when eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Missed the break when quite well fancied here on recent stable debut, can do better.
4	4 (4) (10/1 +29%) Burvea		10 10/1(+29%)																															(4) Burvea 10/1, 9/2, fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (18.2f, soft). Off 6 months. Modest on the Flat, so needs to hit the ground running. Winning hurdler, modest Flat maiden, unplaced in nine starts including two at this venue.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +57%) Highland King		12 12/1(+57%)																															(3) Highland King 12/1, Course winner. 22/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 14 days ago, taking time to get going. Not taken lightly stepping up in trip. Course winner, possible he could find his best form again after two outings last month.
12	12 (12) (20/1 +29%) Tastyee		20 20/1(+29%)																															(12) Tastyee 20/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 28/1) 52 days ago. Merits consideration. Winner on turf over 1m4f but yet to show the same level of ability on this surface.
8	8 (8) (33/1 +18%) Randall Poets Lass		33 33/1(+18%)																															(8) Randall Poets Lass 33/1, 250/1 and hooded for 1st time, behind when fell last in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 97 days ago. Off 97 days. Makes polytrack debut with more required. No real sign of winning potential since placed in two maidens in 2023, much reduced mark.
11	11 (11) (33/1 +18%) Noble Expression		33 33/1(+18%)																															(11) Noble Expression 33/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2019. 33/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (16f) 77 days ago, very slowly away. Down in trip. Visor back on. Must improve. Good effort over 2m at this venue on stable debut, failed to reproduce that form on latest.
7	7 (7) (66/1 -65%) T Or Coffey		66 66/1(-65%)																															(7) T Or Coffey 66/1, Twelfth of 16 in juvenile hurdle (125/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 20 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Modest on the Flat, so not easy to make a case for. Modest turf form on Flat, has failed to build on a satisfactory first run over hurdles.

DROMORE GLORY won over C&D in January and has filled the runner-up spot on both outings since. The Paul Flynn-trained gelding was just denied last time, with Slowdownbarney a length and a half back in third. The booking of talented 7lb claimer Nicola Burns could prove significant, while Gallo Dell Cielo is another with an ultra-consistent profile. He won at Gowran last autumn and following three placed efforts on the Polytrack, successfully stepped up to 1m4f just before Christmas with Slowdownbarney in third. Highland King and Noble Expression may prove best of the remainder.

A few with chances but the vote goes to C&D scorer DROMORE GLORY who arrives in top form and now has the services of talented 7 lb claimer Nicola Burns. Highland King is feared most stepping back up in trip with Slowdownbarney and Gallo Dell Cielo also in the picture.

The joint top weights can benefit from the 7lb allowance claimed with slight preference for DROMORE GLORY over Gallo Dell Cielo

4	4 (4) (5/4 +33%) Margot Robbie		1.25 5/4(+33%)																															(4) Margot Robbie 5/4, Very lightly raced for her age and much improved after 13 months off/with cheekpieces fitted when second of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 21 days ago, edged out post. Capable of winning a race of this nature on that evidence and shortlisted here. Close second at Southwell when upped to 7f last month; that form taken some knocks since.
2	2 (2) (7/2 +13%) Laura's Breeze		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(2) Laura's Breeze 7/2, Modest mare. Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. 9/2, creditable second of 9 in minor event at this course (6f) 8 days ago, no match for winner. Enters calculations. Second in this grade over 6f here last week; both wins at 7f; high on the list.
1	1 (1) (7/1 -8%) Bernie The Bear		7 7/1(-8%)																															(1) Bernie The Bear 7/1, Course winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in minor event at this course (6f) 8 days ago, outpaced 2f out but plugging on. Return to 7f will hold no fears but others appeal more for win purposes. 0-23 for this yard, proving expensive to follow; e-w shout with Paul Mulrennan booked.
8	8 (8) (15/2 +38%) Yaahobby		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(8) Yaahobby 15/2, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 6/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at this course (6f) 8 days ago, not clear run. Possibilities on pick of form. Two C&D wins last autumn; not at best last week but the return to 7f can help; big player.
3	3 (3) (8/1 +50%) Marcello Si		8 8/1(+50%)																															(3) Marcello Si 8/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 10 runs last year. Fifth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 31 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but others arrive with more pressing claims. Out of sorts since returning to action in November; cheekpieces back on today.
6	6 (6) (14/1 -133%) Wedgewood Sapphire		14 14/1(-133%)																															(6) Wedgewood Sapphire 14/1, Modest filly who has stepped up with each start since returning from an absence, second of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago. Can get involved again with a repeat. 2nd in this grade at Wolverhampton latest; claims if in the same form at a stiffer track.
5	5 (5) (33/1 +18%) Secret Daay		33 33/1(+18%)																															(5) Secret Daay 33/1, Poor gelding. Remains a maiden after 31 Flat runs. Eighth of 10 in minor event (40/1) at this course (6f) 8 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Exposed 31-race maiden; easy enough to swerve for win purposes.

WEDGEWOOD SAPPHIRE showed a big chunk of improvement when hitting the crossbar at Wolverhampton on her most recent start and the booking of Luke Morris catches the eye. The four-year-old looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to get her head back in front. Laura's Breeze took the silver medal home over 6f here last time and will have no issues with this step back up in trip. Of the remainder, Bernie The Bear makes the most appeal.

MARGOT ROBBIE showed improved form on the back of a lengthy absence when just touched off at Southwell 21 days ago and, easily one of the least exposed, she's selected to come out on top. Laura's Breeze following her recent second over 6f here and Wedgewood Sapphire can emerge as the chief threats.

Laura's Breeze is high on the list but YAAHOBBY can bounce back from last week's low-key 6f run.

5	5 (5) (8/11 +79%) Valiant Force		0.727273 8/11(+79%)																															(5) Valiant Force 8/11, Useful colt. Latest win here (6f) in February. 4/1, creditable 2 lengths third of 11 to Clarendon House in listed race at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago, plugging on final 1f. Unexposed at this sort of trip and his record here is 2 wins from 3 starts. Considered. Smart sprinter at best, recent AW form gives him major claims if staying 1m.
1	1 (1) (5/2 +29%) Apache Outlaw		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(1) Apache Outlaw 5/2, Useful gelding. Four wins from 16 runs last year. 13/8, proved better than ever when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (7f) in December, leading final 1f and kept up to work. Respected for all this rates a tougher ask. Hat-trick seeker having first ever run over 1m; possibly vulnerable.
2	2 (2) (11/2 -144%) Big Gossey		5.5 11/2(-144%)																															(2) Big Gossey 11/2, Smart gelding. Latest win at the Curragh 97f) in November. 10/1, showed benefit of a recent run when finishing head second in 8-runner handicap here (5f) 2 weeks ago, just failing. Versatile sort who ought to be in the thick of things again. Hasn't won beyond 7f but in good heart; respected on first AW attempt at 1m.
4	4 (4) (17/2 -55%) San Andreas		8.5 17/2(-55%)																															(4) San Andreas 17/2, Useful veteran who added 2 more course wins in December. Latest second in 10.7f minor event 7 days ago was a solid effort but he'd previously appeared to find the test inadequate when fifth in a C&D contest in January. Dual winner of this race but best recent form over further.

There are stamina concerns about a number of this quintet, and it may prove best to side with SAN ANDREAS. The selection has gained all bar one of his ten career wins at this venue, with three of those coming over a mile, and scored twice here over longer trips in December when ridden by Shay Wallace. Apache Outlaw steps up to a mile for the first time but is on a hat-trick following two handicaps wins, while Big Gossey has proved a tremendous servant to connections but is best suited by shorter trips. Riding arrangements suggest Valiant Force is preferred of the two Adrian Murray runners.

Having taken his course record to 2 wins from 3 starts in February, VALIANT FORCE again ran well in listed company at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago. Adrian Murray's 4-y-o arrives unexposed at this trip and could be the way to go. Likeable 8-y-o Big Gossey and Apache Outlaw head up the dangers.

An interesting renewal with question marks in trip surrounding all five runners. VALIANT FORCE may come out on top on 1m debut

5	5 (5) (5/2 +44%) Pop Favorite		2.5 5/2(+44%)																															(5) Pop Favorite 5/2, Six-time C&D winner. Confirmed return to form when length second of 8 to Martin's Brig in handicap (9/1) at this C&D 6 days ago, having to wait for gap 2f out. Could be ready to take advantage of this drop back in grade. Unable to reel in the front-running Martin's Brig here last time but ran very well.
3	3 (3) (11/4 +21%) Fifty Sent		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(3) Fifty Sent 11/4, Sole success came at this course (10.2f) in 2023 when trained by Michael Dods. However, only narrowly denied when second of 12 in minor event (7/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 3 days ago. Can make his presence felt. Only 1-30 but nearly doubled tally at Southwell three days ago, also in a 1m classified.
1	1 (1) (4/1 -14%) Martin's Brig		4 4/1(-14%)																															(1) Martin's Brig 4/1, With Rhys Elliott on board, opened his account for the year when making all in 8-runner handicap (11/1) at this C&D 6 days ago by length from Pop Favorite. Can make another bold bid returned to this grade. Closely matched with Pop Favourite whom he beat in a handicap here last week.
7	7 (7) (7/1 +30%) Top Gun Tina		7 7/1(+30%)																															(7) Top Gun Tina 7/1, Remains a maiden but ran one of better races when 2¾ lengths third of 8 to Martin's Brig in handicap (25/1) at this C&D 6 days ago, despite needing stronger gallop. Task is now to build on latest effort. Placed behind Martin's Brig and Pop Favorite here last week despite an awkward start.
2	2 (2) (15/2 +6%) Danehill Star		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(2) Danehill Star 15/2, Off the mark at Lingfield in January. However, well below form when seventh of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (10f) 19 days ago. Bounce back called for as he returns to this shorter distance. Lingfield winner in January but hasn't built on that and others look that bit safer.
8	8 (8) (8/1 -60%) Urban Dandy		8 8/1(-60%)																															(8) Urban Dandy 8/1, Course winner but 27 runs since last success in 2023. Lesser effort when seventh of 11 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D 15 days ago, though went close here on penultimate start so he could fare better back down in grade. Strike-rate of 2-35; he's capable on his day but is hard to predict.
6	6 (6) (33/1 -32%) Retirement Beckons		33 33/1(-32%)																															(6) Retirement Beckons 33/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2024, which came at this C&D. Failed to come on for recent run when last of 10 in minor event (50/1) here 3 weeks ago, though had hopeless task from position. Others still preferred. Ran the odd fair race last year but trailed home last here three weeks ago.
4	4 (4) (40/1 -21%) Morning Suit		40 40/1(-21%)																															(4) Morning Suit 40/1, Twelve runs since his only victory in 2023 and has been struggling for form, ninth of 11 in minor event (20/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 25 days ago. Looks to be up against it. Ran a bit better last time but was still only ninth of 11 and looks vulnerable once more.

URBAN DANDY's best recent performance came at this level when denied by a head over C&D two starts ago, before finding handicap company too much last time. The five-year-old may not find a better opportunity to get his head back in front. Pop Favorite has been knocking on the door recently and enters calculations along with Fifty Sent, who was runner-up at Southwell earlier in the week.

POP FAVORITE has returned to form with runner-up efforts at this C&D on his last 2 starts, meeting trouble in running on his latest outing, so he is taken to go one better as he drops back into a classified event. Fifty Sent was beaten by only a nose at Southwell 3 days ago and could be thereabouts once more, with Martin's Brig also considered.

Martin's Brig did have the run of the race here last week and POP FAVORITE must have a chance of gaining his revenge.

1	1 (1) (1/4 -13%) Mount Kilimanjaro		0.25 1/4(-13%)																															(1) Mount Kilimanjaro 1/4, Siyouni colt who went from strength-to-strength at 2yrs, off the mark at this attempt at Longchamp in October prior to an excellent second in Saint-Cloud Group 1 later that month. This looks a good opening on return with big targets on his agenda in due course. French autumn form makes him a clear pick providing he handles the surface.

Closely related to very smart 1m-9f winner My Oberon and half-brother to high-class 1m-1¼m winner My Prospero and smart 1m-1¼m winner My Astra. Loads to like on paper and interesting connections pitch him in here on debut. Night Of Thunder colt cost 220,000gns as a yearling; yard's selected on jockey bookings.
5	5 (5) (12/1 -20%) Spicy Margarita		12 12/1(-20%)																															(5) Spicy Margarita 12/1, Twice-raced winner. Won 13-runner maiden (7/2) at this course (7f) 23 days ago, well on top finish. Return to 1m won't be an issue and she remains open to improvement but this demands a whole lot more if she's to come out on top. Recent maiden winner faces much stiffer task but could go well.
4	4 (4) (25/1 -178%) Powerful Lady		25 25/1(-178%)																															(4) Powerful Lady 25/1, Hello Youmzain filly who confirmed promise of previous run when opening her account in a C&D maiden in January. However, this demands further progress and handicaps entitled to prove more suitable. Recent C&D maiden winner faces an altogether different calibre of rival here.
2	2 (2) (125/1 -89%) Glinka		125 125/1(-89%)																															(2) Glinka 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 33/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in maiden at this course (10.7f) 37 days ago. Back down in trip. Hard to fancy. Two runs here over the winter don't suggest he'll feature.

MOUNT KILIMANJARO is Aidan O'Brien's first domestic runner of the year, and this looks a good opportunity to make a successful reappearance. The son of Siyouni won a valuable Longchamp event last October and later that month was second to stablemate Twain in the Group 1 Criterium International over a mile at Saint-Cloud. Powerful Lady and Spicy Margarita have both won maidens in good style here this year, while it will be interesting to see how strong the latter's stablemate Titanium Emperor is in the market. The Night Of Thunder colt is out of a Sea The Stars mare that has already produced two Group 2 winners.

MOUNT KILIMANJARO progressed with each outing as a 2-y-o, signing off with an excellent second in a French Group 1 in the autumn, and he's tough to oppose on this return to action with further progress distinctly possible. Titanium Emperor makes plenty of appeal on paper, and along with stablemate Spicy Margarita, can do battle for minor honours.

This looks a good opportunity for MOUNT KILIMANJARO on seasonal return, even though he'll probably want further in time

1	1 (1) (4/1 0%) King's School		4 4/1(0%)																															(1) King's School 4/1, Two-time C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Shaped as if in back in form when unsuited by the way the race developed, finishing fifth of 6 in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago. Remains of interest racing off his last winning mark. Two C&D wins in December; mixed record since but the return to Class 5 company will help.
3	3 (3) (4/1 +0%) Tasever		4 4/1(+0%)																															(3) Tasever 4/1, 4-time course winner. Latest win here in January.

Four wins here and numerous solid efforts since joining Patrick Morris; e-w shout again.

Difficult to fancy on most recent evidence. Low-key stable debut (wide draw) at Kempton in January; others look safer.
4	4 (4) (6/1 -118%) Streak Lightning		6 6/1(-118%)																															(4) Streak Lightning 6/1, 4-time C&D winner. Fairly consistent sort got his head back in front over C&D (13/2) 15 days ago, coming with a well-timed run to lead close home. Up 3 lb and merits consideration. Had three of today's rivals in arrears when winning over C&D 2 weeks ago; solid contender.
6	6 (6) (8/1 -23%) Rebecca's Girl		8 8/1(-23%)																															(6) Rebecca's Girl 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in February. Far from disgraced when seeking hat-trick at this course (6f) 15 days ago, finishing third of 7 in handicap. Arrives in great heart. Three course wins this winter; up in the weights but could enjoy a tactical advantage.
8	8 (8) (11/1 -175%) Bobby Joe Leg		11 11/1(-175%)																															(8) Bobby Joe Leg 11/1, Veteran is an 8-time C&D winner including when landing a 0-65 handicap (6/1) at this C&D 6 days ago, capitalising on his falling handicap mark. Carries a 4lb penalty and steps back up in grade. 15th win of his career when easily beating six rivals over C&D last week; up in class now.
5	5 (5) (25/1 +24%) Power Of Zeus		25 25/1(+24%)																															(5) Power Of Zeus 25/1, Offered little on first run since leaving Brian Ellison when last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 80/1) 13 days ago, having been slowly away. Others preferred. 80-1 and well held on last month's reappearance/stable debut; enough to prove for now.

TASEVER remains in fine fettle having performed well on all three appearances in February over C&D, and it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him gain a third victory of the year. Rebecca's Girl has to enter calculations despite not landing the hat-trick here over a furlong shorter last time. Streak Lightning and Bobby Joe Leg head the remainder.

Providing this isn't run at a crawl, a couple of hold up performers may come to the fore, with KING'S SCHOOL, who is back on his latest winning mark, taken to get the better of last-time out winner Streak Lightning. The consistent Tasever looks best of the rest.

She is up in the weights but REBECCA'S GIRL could enjoy a tactical advantage and is taken to record her fourth course win this winter.

1	1 (1) (5/2 +29%) Volatile Analyst		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(1) Volatile Analyst 5/2, Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap (11/4) at this course (7f) 7 days ago, kept up to work. However, he looks vulnerable under top-weight. Resurgent of late off reduced mark; needs to step up again off highest mark in 18 months.
9	9 (9) (10/3 +44%) Little Empire		3.333333 10/3(+44%)																															(9) Little Empire 10/3, Good second of 13 in handicap (9/2) at this course (7f) 14 days ago, flattered by proximity. Place possibilities. Recent comeback third over 7f; barely gets 1m but could go well here if pace not too hot.
10	10 (10) (4/1 +11%) Comfort Line		4 4/1(+11%)																															(10) Comfort Line 4/1, Four-time C&D winner. Three wins from 24 runs last year. Latest win here in December. Creditable second of 13 in claimer (6/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Can make presence felt. Exposed but recent claiming second a strong run; definite claims.
2	2 (2) (13/2 -44%) Mythical Rock		6.5 13/2(-44%)																															(2) Mythical Rock 13/2, First run since leaving James M. Barrett when bit below form third of 8 in maiden (8/11) at this C&D 23 days ago. Couldn't rule out. Beaten odds-on favourite in recent C&D maiden; may not much scope off this mark.
4	4 (4) (15/2 +38%) Enough Already		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(4) Enough Already 15/2, Course winner. Latest win here in November. Creditable third of 9 in minor event at this C&D (15/2) 77 days ago. One to consider. Stays much further but recent C&D effort augurs well.
5	5 (5) (10/1 -150%) Morning Approach		10 10/1(-150%)																															(5) Morning Approach 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in December. 14/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago, not ideally placed. Has good chance on form. Ran well from a bad draw latest; should be thereabouts.
6	6 (6) (16/1 -45%) Tribal Moon		16 16/1(-45%)																															(6) Tribal Moon 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Ninth of 13 in claimer at this C&D (18/1) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Blinkers back on. Dual C&D winner over the winter but recent form leaves questions to answer.
3	3 (3) (20/1 -264%) Albion Power		20 20/1(-264%)																															(3) Albion Power 20/1, Career best when winning 13-runner maiden (16/1) at this course (7f) 14 days ago. More on his plate this time. Recent maiden winner for whom 11lb rise for that makes this tough on handicap return.
7	7 (7) (28/1 -40%) Church Mountain		28 28/1(-40%)																															(7) Church Mountain 28/1, Course winner. Latest win here in October. 14/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. Dual 1m2f winner in October but held since; drops in trip now.
8	8 (8) (80/1 -100%) El Bello		80 80/1(-100%)																															(8) El Bello 80/1, Unreliable individual. First run since leaving Leanne Breen when 11 lengths eighth of 9 to Volatile Analyst in handicap (66/1) at this course (7f) 7 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Best form at 7f; recent comeback run leaves him with plenty to find.

COMFORT LINE has gained half of his eight career wins over this C&D and is still on a competitive mark judged on his latest second. Volatile Analyst held a career-high rating of 105 and has been revitalised by Stephen Thorne to score twice this year, although those victories have resulted in a combined hike of 21lb. Little Empire won over this trip at Ayr last year and now steps back up to a mile following a number of promising efforts at this venue.

MORNING APPROACH has been in good heart during the winter and, judged on her latest fourth of 14 over C&D last time, she looks capable of winning off this mark. She may have most to fera from Comfort Line, who found just one too good here last time. Mythical Rock deserves to get his head in front and he should be on the premises once again. Little Empire also enters calculations.

By some way the most heavily-raced of the ten runners, nonetheless COMFORT LINE (nap) may be able to record a ninth career win

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.
