Velvet Skies comes here in winning form from Dundalk but may not want the ground to soften too much. With that in mind, WHITE CLOVER gets the nod. She won a maiden to end her last campaign and doesn't look harshly treated off 72, despite carrying top-weight. Others for the shortlist include Noble Nation, Step Back In Time and Escape Act.

NOBLE NATION showed improved form when getting off the mark in comprehensive fashion at Sligo last summer and, with more still to offer as a sprinter, he is taken to follow up on his return. Catherine Chroi stepped up on her reapppearance when making the frame at the Curragh last week and could be the main danger, with Rathbranchurch completing the shortlist.

This looks very open and it could pay to forgive RATHBRANCHURCH his failure to justify favouritism at the Curragh last Sunday.
Class & Speed Card

MONGIBELLO has 14lb to find with Jalila Moriviere on ratings but can be depended upon to run to a useful level. Listed-placed in a bumper in November 2023, her hurdles form hasn't been as strong but nonetheless ran two solid races at Fairyhouse in January, with the latter race being at Grade 3-level. Jalila Moriviere disappointed on her Irish debut here last Christmas but returns following a break. She could leave that form well behind, but didn't feature at Cheltenham last week and now wears a first-time tongue-tie. Lep Around is out of form.

If JALILA MORIVIERE can recapture anything like the pick of her French form at the second time of asking for Willie Mullins she'll likely prove a bit too strong for Mongibello.

Jalila Moriviere is rated a stone superior to MONGIBELLO on official ratings but the selection has posted the superior RPRs.
Class & Speed Card

A tricky looking contest and UNIQUE JOURNEY may be able to strike on his return. The Danny Murphy-trained gelding ran a big race in testing conditions when last seen at Galway in October, having been a touch unlucky on his previous outing at Navan. He had finished third to one of today's rivals, Gazelle D'or, on his handicap debut and is weighted to turn the tables now. Island Girl had some nice maiden form last season and is one to note for a yard that generally makes a good start to the season.

UNIQUE JOURNEY rates the pick of these weights so is fancied to build on his excellent Galway second and get off the mark on his seasonal return. Gazelle d'Or heads the list of dangers on the back of her breakthrough Navan success with Eric Lock and Island Girl appealing as the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours.

A chance is taken on DANCE FOR CHESTER. He hasn't shown much so far on good ground but he could improve plenty for these conditions
Class & Speed Card

Having found only a subsequent Grade 2 winner too strong at Ayr in January, ADMIRAL STEWART is unlikely to bump into anything of that class here. Jamie Snowden's gelding is likely to take all of the beating if handling the undulations of this track and he's preferred to recent C&D winner Bel Amigo. The son of Jeu St Eloi boasts plenty of experience and another bold bid is forecast. Supreme George is the pick of the remainder.

ADMIRAL STEWART boasts the best form on show here and hails from a yard in fine form. He can return to winning ways. Bel Amigo and Supreme George look the obvious dangers.

Having bumped into a subsequent Grade 2 winner when second at Ayr in January, ADMIRAL STEWART can regain the winning thread today.
Class & Speed Card

ELLAAT won a recent claimer and should again compete in this winnable handicap. An eight-time winner with an ability to handle all terrains, the selection benefited from January's course reappearance run when scoring subsequently at Clonmel and a reproduction, for a new team, would give him every chance. Falcon Park also debuts for new connections and ran well on Thyestes day in January. He races from a career-high rating but softening ground will suit. The Nagger Reidy weakened late-on at Fairyhouse last month but can compete on best form.

THE NAGGER REIDY looked to be progressing in this sphere following a likeable victory and runner-up effort, and he's worth another chance having disappointed last time. ELLAAT was nursed back to form to win on final start for previous connections and he should go well for his new yard, while Drop The Anchor is feasibly treated if coping with this drop back in trip.

The 9yo FALCON PARK has been thriving back over hurdles this season and he ran a cracker in defeat in his hat-trick bid latest
Class & Speed Card

A highly promising third behind none other than The New Lion at Chepstow in October, KAYF DANCER has had a break since and that form sets the standard on his return to action. Doctor Kildare arrives with similar claims after a respectable second at Doncaster earlier in the month, but will need to improve his jumping if he is to trouble the selection. Thankyouandplease may pick up the pieces if the aforementioned pair falter.

KAYF DANCER has been shaping up well in his 3 starts so far, keeping on for third behind subsequent dual Grade 1 winner The New Lion at Chepstow last time, so he is taken to get off the mark with this longer trip promising to suit. He can see off the challenge of Doctor Kildare, who is also open to further improvement.

This looks a match between KAYF DANCER and Doctor Kildare, with not much between them on ratings. The trip should be fine for both.
Class & Speed Card

ROWDY YEATS may be able to make a winning return here. The Make Believe colt made a promising start last season when chasing home the classy Arizona Blaze at the Curragh on the first day but didn't see the track again until September, when again second to Cercene. The handicapper has given him a lofty enough mark of 91 and that sets a good standard. Iron Fist is rated 87 after three runs last year, the best of those when second to Cap Saint Martin at the Curragh. He looks like an obvious danger. Ballydoyle colt Mississippi River was placed on all three starts last season and is another one for the shortlist.

Lots with chances but the vote goes to MISSISSIPPI RIVER who progressed with each of his three runs as a juvenile and can make a winning return here. Noel Meade's Rowdy Yeats also has better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers with Storm Piece, Iron Fist, Dun An Oir and Diego El Queso also in the picture.

This could go to IRON FIST who showed ability in 1m maidens at the Curragh and may prove at least as effective over this trip
Class & Speed Card

Captain Ivan relished a step up in distance when scoring over 2m3f at Market Rasen last month and he's dangerous to discount in his current form. However, a 5lb higher mark and drop in trip may scupper the veteran's chances and preference is for RAFFLES WONDER. Rebecca Menzies' inmate has undergone a wind operation since his 10-length romp at Sedgefield in late January and he could make light work of a 6lb rise. Five Dollar Fine also warrants respect.

TOMMY COMBATS couldn't live with a very progressive sort at Ayr last time but it was another solid effort from Martin Todhunter's 6-y-o and he can come good tackling largely much more exposed opponents this time. One who is relatively lightly raced, at least over fences, is Raffles Wonder and he's second choice ahead of recent Sedgefield scorer Fearless Action.

The drop back in trip and return to Carlisle could both be positives for FIVE DOLLAR FINE, who goes well fresh, and he gets the nod.
Class & Speed Card

GOOD N' KIND hasn't run for 379 days but had plenty ability in 2023/24 and should be ready for today's reappearance. An impressive point-to-point winner, he subsequently ran well in a heavy-ground Gowran bumper when finishing well clear of the other beaten horses. The winner of that race Port Joulain has recently scored over hurdles when, in turn, defeated today's runner Champagne Kid by 31 lengths in January. Admittedly Champagne Kid is better judged on more recent efforts but is nonetheless vulnerable to smart types. Dr Eggman holds Champagne Kid by a half-length on February form although he too is vulnerable to a promising prospect.

DR EGGMAN has let favourite backers down on a few occasions but is given one more chance on the back of a good reappearance second at Punchestown. Henry de Bromhead's Good N' Kind has been absent since finishing second in a bumper a year ago but might still be the one to give the selection most to do ahead of Champagne Kid.

Dr Eggman and Champagne Kid are closely matched but it may be worth chancing point winner CABARET PRINCE stepping up in trip
Class & Speed Card

SPECIAL JOHN was a major improver for going up in trip when runner-up at Southwell last time out, and with further progress likely, Chris Down's charge can go one better on his fourth start in this sphere. A determined winner over further at Huntingdon on his first start for new connections, Wearapinkribbon is likely to have a say off 4lb higher, while the consistent Coconut Twist is another to note, having scored here in January.

SPECIAL JOHN was well supported when a good second at Southwell last week and remains low mileage. He makes plenty of appeal. Coconut Twist and Lightonthewing are feared most.

Coconut Twist should go well again but WEARAPINKRIBBON (nap) won at the first attempt for his new yard and may build on that.
Class & Speed Card

LOVE BILLY BOY just got going a touch too late at the Curragh last Sunday when finishing second to Laugh A Minute and may be able to go one better now. The Invincible Army gelding was well supported on his first start for Ger O'Leary and looks capable of striking now, stepping up a furlong. Money Dancer had a couple of good placed efforts over jumps, over the winter, and looks capable of being competitive off this mark back on the level. Dual course and distance winner Facethepuckout is on a competitive mark and could be each-way material.

LOVE BILLY BOY looked an unlucky loser starting out for present connections when just touched off at the Curragh last week and, with the step back up in trip in his favour, he can confirm the promise of that run and come out on top. Facethepuckout goes particularly well here and he's a threat with Chicago Fireball another to note. Fast Tara also commands a second look starting out for a new yard.

Ger O'Learys's recruit LOVE BILLY BOY looked unlucky in a 6f Curragh handicap last Sunday and is tipped to make amends.
Class & Speed Card

EMOTIONAL ROLLER lost little in defeat when bumping into a subsequent winner at Wetherby 25 days ago. The introduction of first-time cheekpieces could prove just the trick for the seven-year-old and a second career victory could be imminent. The biggest threat is the hat-trick seeking Red Happy, who boasts a recent C&D triumph, while Busty Boy and One More Stroke are other in-form chasers to consider.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and this could go the way of hat-trick seeking RED HAPPY who showed a really good attitude when scoring over C&D a fortnight ago. Busty Boy is feared most on the back of a resurgent Ayr second, although Emotional Roller, Catch Catchfire and One More Stroke also need factoring in.

The first-time cheekpieces are a possible plus for EMOTIONAL ROLLER (nap) and last month's second at Wetherby has been boosted.
Class & Speed Card

DON'T TALK will appreciate the softening ground and can complete a hat-trick of recent chase wins. His form can be in-and-out but in January ran two consistently good races to win at Down Royal and Fairyhouse. Although he has been raised a career-high rating of 110, he has been placed over hurdles when rated just 2lb lower and he looks to be a better chaser. Springt De La Mare should also appreciate conditions but has a huge weight, while Soloman Lane has been running well recently but climbs 3lb in the handicap.

SPRINGT DE LA MARE is going the right way over fences and looks fairly treated on his handicap bow. He can extend his winning run. Don't Talk and Soloman Lane can also make their presence felt.

Gavin Cromwell's team are flying and SPRINGT DE LA MARE looks capable of defying top weight on handicap bow stepping up in trip
Class & Speed Card

Runner-up on her last two starts, BLACKSAMSSENORITA deserves a change in luck and she can get that on this occasion, with the slight rise in distance expected to suit. Good ground should not inconvenience either, so the six-year-old gets the vote ahead of Youhadmeathello, who was a highly promising second on debut at Hereford last month. Kissininthebackrow is one that reverts from the level and may have a say in proceedings.

A winner on her second start in points, YOUHADMEATHELLO produced a promising first effort under Rules when second in a mares' maiden hurdle at Hereford 4 weeks ago. A well-related mare, she looks sure to improve for that initial experience and can make it second time lucky. That said, Blacksamssenorita is compiling a solid record herself over hurdles and shouldn't be dismissed lightly.

Irish point winner YOUHADMEATHELLO made a promising start to her rules career last month and gets the vote.
Class & Speed Card

Aidan O'Brien has won this race with some smart sorts in the past, most notably with Paddington two years ago, and SERENGETI could be another potential Group horse in a handicap. The son of Wootton Bassett improved with racing last year and was still a touch green when scoring at Dundalk in late October. There could be plenty of improvement to come from him this year. Tangapour, another son of Wootton Bassett, finished last year with a good win in testing conditions at Killarney and is another likely to progress. Temperance ran well on her return in a Dundalk maiden and is another to consider.

This looks a really interesting early season 3-y-o handicap with the narrow vote in favour of MANHATTAN CHUTE. He had a few of these behind when a very good third in a competitive nursery over 6f here on his final outing in October and could well provide a spot of value for a yard amongst the winners. Ballydoyle representative Serengeti boasts a progressive profile and needs considering on handicap bow, as does Kodilicious. Gloriously Glam and Wizard of Odds also make each-way appeal.

Kate McGivern gave TEMPERANCE a recent run at Dundalk, a factor that may enable her to reverse nursery form with two of these rivals
Class & Speed Card

YEALAND, who was the beneficiary of a walkover at Haydock on Wednesday, has a good chance of completing a hat-trick if he posts a similar display to the one that saw him justify favouritism off 3lb lower at Newcastle last month. Ganapathi and Half Shot have reasonable claims based on their peak form. However, a bigger danger might be the versatile Sean Og, who had plenty in hand when winning over 3m1f at Catterick latest.

Not the strongest of class 2s and improving novice YEALAND looks the way to go. High Moon remains of interest off his current mark so is next best ahead of the veteran Half Shot, who shaped much better than the bare result at Musselburgh on New Year's Day.

Having come clear with a fellow improver when winning at Newcastle last month, YEALAND still looks well treated now 3lb higher.
Class & Speed Card

Softening ground is a concern for in-form MONBEG PARK but he might still win. Placed in the Leopardstown Chase in February before landing a Listed chase at that course earlier this month, the selection's best form is on a sound surface but did manage a bumper success on soft to heavy. He has done most of his racing over middle-distances but was Graded-placed over hurdles at this trip. Fun Fun Fun is suited by soft and she won nicely on her chase debut, before being well held at Exeter. Shannon Royale is noted too.

HARRY DES ONGRAIS confirmed chase debut promise when scoring at Gowran last month and this unexposed sort can find the required improvement to beat Monbeg Park, who looked better than ever when winning a handicap at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago.

This trip could be the making of Fun Fun Fun but the same is true for HARRY DES ONGRAIS (nap) who looks a natural over fences.
Class & Speed Card

ART DECCO relished a greater emphasis on stamina when digging deep to land the spoils over C&D last month. A 2lb nudge up in the ratings looks more than fair and another bold bid looks assured. The biggest threat may emerge from Musical Slave, who bounced back to form when scoring at Taunton 13 days ago. Neo King and Yes Day are others to consider in their current fettle.

This looks competitive but YES DAY won in the style of an improving novice at Hereford 2 weeks ago so gets the nod. Art Decco and Neo King are closely matched having finished 1-2 over C&D last month and they head the dangers.

With much less to prove than some if it's good ground, CONCETTO and Musical Slave top the list.
Class & Speed Card

DALLAS STAR has the benefit of a run under his belt and this looks like a nice early season target for him. The Cloth Of Stars colt appears to be versatile ground-wise having won the Ballysax Stakes in testing conditions last term and scoring at Dundalk recently. He is still unexposed having previously been out of action since finishing down the field in last year's Derby. Sunchart won this last year and it's no surprise to see connections target the race again. Trustyourinstinct had a good Flat campaign last year, including a Group 3 win at Leopardstown, and looks like a leading contender. He was in action in Saudi Arabia last month so also comes here fit.

SUNCHART has won off a break and didn't enjoy the rub of the green when seventh at Leopardstown last time out so is taken to return in style in this open listed contest. Uncanny has winning form at the track and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Bravais who has the form to play a big part if fully tuned up for his new yard after a long absence. Trustyourinstinct completes the shortlist.

Adrian Murray's horses are in good form and DALLAS STAR, a shock winner of the Ballysax on heavy last season, could be the one to be on
Class & Speed Card

DUBAI DAYS represents last year's winning yard and boasts the most convincing recent form with two wins from his last three starts. He could take full advantage of receiving weight all round, though this does represent a step up in class and it would be dangerous to underestimate Credo, who is a previous winner at this level. Does He Know and Cloudy Glen need to find more.

Having ended last season in fine fettle, DUBAI DAYS picked up where he left off and showed a willing attitude in the process when making a winning return to action at Haydock 5 weeks ago. He looks a sound player again for the stable that took this 12 months ago, despite some reservations about the trip. Credo and Does He Know rate next best.

Topweight DOES HE KNOW was uncharacteristically disappointing last time but holds strong claims on his form in late 2024.
Class & Speed Card

SAINTE DONA's form is in-and-out but returned to her best recently. Her two career wins were gained by 25 and 26 lengths respectively and a reproduction of that latest Punchestown effort would give her every chance, with softening ground very much in her favour. The handicapper has given Fairyhill Run a sporting chance by dropping her 5lb since her last run 10 days ago, when she appeared to tire late on. Rated 138 at her peak, she should improve from that recent effort and stays well, but would prefer better ground. Banprionsa's Clonmel form was boosted by the runner-up subsequently finishing second in the Dublin National.

SAINTE DONA was an excellent second under this rider at Punchestown last month and can go one better off the same mark back down in class. Emily In Paris and Made In The Woods both shaped as if their turn isn't far away last time so are feared most.

With most of these exposed the eyes are drawn towards BANPRIONSA who tackles her first handicap chase over a trip that should suit.
Class & Speed Card

Having finished third on her last two outings over hurdles, chase debutant MINNIEMUM may prove tough to beat if taking to this discipline. The daughter of Telescope looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to get back on the scoresheet and she's preferred to Fortunefavorsdbold. Christian Williams' mare boasts plenty of experience in this sphere and she could prove dangerous if allowed an easy lead. Micronormous may chase the aforementioned pair home.

FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD is worth forgiving his latest below-form third at Leicester when possibly finding the run coming too quickly and can gain a deserved first success of the season. Chasing--debutante Minniemum arrives in good nick over the smaller obstacles and could emerge as the chief threat to Christian Williams' mare ahead of Micronormous.

River Tyne is preferred among the three who have run over fences but the chase debutante MINNIEMUM needs a very close look.
Class & Speed Card

BAY COLONY had a couple of nice runs in stakes company last season and if running up to her mark of 89, she's the one to beat. The New Bay filly ran a solid race when fifth to Dreamy in a Group 3 at the Curragh on her final start last season. This softer ground is an unknown, though. Wannabe Royal has a recent run under belt at Dundalk when second to Spicy Margarita. She has a bit to find on ratings but fitness is a big plus at this time of year. The Ballydoyle filly Guarded was mid-division on her sole start last season and is the potential improver in the field.

BAY COLONY acquitted herself well in graded company last term and gets the nod in what should prove an informative maiden. Guarded and Wannabe Royal head the list of dangers.

The top rated BAY COLONY could improve plenty for testing conditions and she gets the nod.
Class & Speed Card

Follow Charlie is back on a winning mark and is noted given the drop in trip a possible source for improvement. Balranald is another to seriously consider, but it could be worth chancing that TRAFALGAR SQUARE can build on a handful of solid efforts since he switched codes and the four-year-old's younger/fresher legs could be a big advantage against these generally more exposed opponents.

Having been well backed when finishing a close third behind two class-droppers last time, SIMPLY RED can gain her first win for Brian Ellison in an ordinary looking 0-100 handicap. If ready to roll after a 4-month absence, Trafalgar Square has shown enough to suggest he's capable of winning a race of this nature, while Follow Charlie is respected following a creditable third over a longer trip earlier this month.

The tentative selection in this rather weak finale is POWEROFJET, who is of interest if judged on his penultimate run.
Class & Speed Card

THISCOULDBETHEONE makes plenty of appeal with Derek O'Connor being a notable booking in a hot Listed bumper. Six of the selection's siblings were winners including brother City Island, who landed the 2019 Ballymore Hurdle at Cheltenham for these connections. Form horses Oneinthewell and Eternal Echo are closely matched on recent Leopardstown form, while Light Up The Dark readily beat Scarriff Bridge into second to win at Naas. Carrigmoorna Beech won by 12 lengths at Gowran and is also respected.

Possibly best to narrow this down this listed bumper down to once-raced winners LIGHT UP THE DARK, Carrigmoorna Beech and Oneinthewell. J P McManus has purchased the first-named since her Naas defeat of the reopposing Scarriff Bridge and she can make it 2-2.

Joseph O'Brien has a cracking strike-rate in bumpers and his dominant Naas scorer, LIGHT UP THE DARK, looks worth chancing
Class & Speed Card

Having made it fourth time lucky between the flags at Kingston Blount last month, Couer D'alene must enter calculations. However, fellow Rules debutant AMATCHMADEINHEAVEN was quite taking when scoring over 2m at Larkhill earlier this month and the son of Schiaparelli may have too much speed for these rivals. Badbury Rings winner Lady Kloppenheim is heading in the right direction and it will be interesting to see how she compares to her rivals in the market.

A race in which the betting will likely be informative. COUER D'ALENE was the comfortable winner of a Kingston Blount maiden point last month and gets the vote before market clues are known.

Preference is for AMATCHMADEINHEAVEN, who dominated a recent Larkhill point bumper from the front.
Class & Speed Card

The regally-bred TRINITY COLLEGE should be able to make a winning return here. The son of Dubawi and dual Guineas winner Hermosa was runner-up in Group 3 company at Leopardstown when last seen in October and could be a classic contender if coming through this. The main danger is probably his stablemate Acapulco Bay. He's another Dubawi colt and was impressive when winning a Curragh maiden on his second outing in late August. Like the selection he holds several classic entries. One Smack Mac disappointed on his final start of last season but had shown a nice level of ability previously and may be capable of better.

TRINITY COLLEGE sets the standard on his juvenile form and can make a winning reappearance in the finale. One Smack Mac and Acapulco Bay may provide the chief threat.

Aidan O'Brien holds a strong hand here with TRINITY COLLEGE and Acapulco Bay with ready preference for the former.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
