14:00 Wetherby Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	12 1st (12) (12/1 +25%) Sir Galahad	12 12/1(+25%)	(12) Sir Galahad 12/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1½m), running respectably while showing an awkward side when fifth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) back in June. Sold from James Ferguson 25,000 gns the following month and has joined a top jumps yard. Yard also saddles All Well And Good. Fair maiden on the Flat; has joined a good yard for hurdle career (one of two for stable).
2	8 2nd (8) (5/1 +0%) Sleeping Late	5 5/1(+0%)	(8) Sleeping Late 5/1, Shaped with encouragement when fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Doncaster on debut and ran to a similar level despite jumping better when third at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) earlier this month. Appeals as the type to do better once tackling handicaps over further. Has made the frame on both starts and has the best hurdle form in the line-up; respected.
3	9 3rd (9) (12/1 +0%) Solent Gateway	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Solent Gateway 12/1, Fairly useful stayer on the Flat for Hugo Palmer (sold 9,000 gns). Had usual headgear/tongue strap retained for hurdling debut and looked badly in need of the experience but knew more when third at Catterick (15.7f, good to soft) last month. Probably needs more time (has had a wind op). Yet to transfer his Flat ability to hurdles but wind op could help; possible player.
4	10 4th (10) (66/1 -32%) Brindley	66 66/1(-32%)	(10) Brindley 66/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1m), well below form in handicaps final 2 starts in 2024. Sold from Jack Channon for only 1,000 gns in September and made very little impact sent hurdling after 6 months off at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) recently. Failed to settle and tailed off at 50-1 on recent hurdle and stable debut at Huntingdon.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 -9%) Katana	12 12/1(-9%)	(3) Katana 12/1, €45,000 half-brother to French hurdler/chaser Gangster de Coddes who showed ability amidst greenness when fifth of 8 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, good) in October. Needed the experience sent hurdling at Taunton a couple of months later but looks a stable lesser light even so. Yet to threaten but could take a sizeable step forward at some stage for leading trainer.
6th	11 6th (11) (50/1 -25%) Cap Ricochet	50 50/1(-25%)	(11) Cap Ricochet 50/1, Hadn't looked much in bumpers and yet to achieve a great deal over hurdles, already looking a bit of a handful when disgracing himself at the second at Sedgefield last week (attempted to run out and unseated rider). Easy to look elsewhere. Has shown some ability but improvement is needed; wayward when unseating early last time.
7th	6 7th (6) (400/1 -60%) Mythical	400 400/1(-60%)	(6) Mythical 400/1, Modest Flat winner who has shown nothing in 3 starts over hurdles. Tailed off/pulled up at triple-figure odds this winter on his first three hurdle starts.
8th	7 8th (7) (66/1 -164%) Regal Cavalier	66 66/1(-164%)	(7) Regal Cavalier 66/1, Modest on Flat, comfortable winner of 15.5f minor event at Corlay last June. Sold from Ludovic Gadbin €21,000 the following month and interesting to see how he fares in the market on yard/hurdling debut. Won on the Flat in France last June by 5l; interesting contender on hurdle/stable debut.
9th	5 9th (5) (250/1 -150%) Kit The Christian	250 250/1(-150%)	(5) Kit The Christian 250/1, Brother to bumper winner Getagin and closely related to useful hurdler Crooks Peak (winner around 2m). Bred to have a future but looked badly in need of the experience on debut in novice hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good) just over 5 weeks ago. There's potential in his pedigree but he was tailed off at 100-1 on last month's debut.
4	4 \|U\| (4) (25/1 +11%) Kids Say Lastgojoe	25 25/1(+11%)	(4) Kids Say Lastgojoe 25/1, Balko gelding who showed benefit of his debut and settled better ridden from the front when winning 5-runner bumper at Catterick in November. Looked badly in need of the experience sent hurdling at Newcastle in January so he'll need to leave that well behind (has had a wind op). Bumper winner; well beaten on hurdle debut but wind op since and not written off.
10th	1 10th (1) (6/5 +13%) All Well And Good	1.2 6/5(+13%)	(1) All Well And Good 6/5, From a very good Flat family and, having made a promising start when second at Worcester (2m) last June, went one place better when landing 12-runner bumper back at that venue a month later. Good second at Stratford when last seen in September and rates as a likely sort now hurdling. Bumper winner who makes hurdle debut in a race lacking depth; firmly in calculations.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (3/1 +25%) Jasmin Bellevue	3 3/1(+25%)	(2) Jasmin Bellevue 3/1, £110,000 purchase after finishing runner-up completed start in Irish points but has proven too headstrong on both starts under Rules, including when unseating his rider at the sixth in a first-time hood at Hereford on latest. Yet to shine under rules but this point runner-up is in top hands and capable of better.

Having offered plenty of encouragement on his three bumper appearances last year, hurdles debutant All Well And Good is likely to prove popular on his return to action. Olly Murphy's charge is expected to be in the thick of the action, but it could be worth siding for SLEEPING LATE. The seven-year-old has displayed promise on both outings over timber to date and that experience may prove crucial. Jasmin Bellevue and Dilly's Gunner are also worth closer inspection.

Plenty of dead wood in this opener but there are some top yards represented and ALL WELL AND GOOD gets the nod to make a winning return/hurdling debut for Olly Murphy having reached a fairly useful level in bumpers last year. Heading up the opposition is Jasmin Bellevue, who has looked a handful on both outings so far but has stable jockey Nico de Boinville taking over in the plate. Sleeping Late and Dilly's Gunner can fight out third.

This could go to bumper winner ALL WELL AND GOOD on his hurdle debut. Stablemate Sir Galahad may pose the main threat.

14:00 Wetherby Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:10 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (5/1 +9%) Summer In Milan	5 5/1(+9%)	(5) Summer In Milan 5/1, Yet to trouble the judge but it's still early days for this 6-y-o and he performed with credit when 10½ lengths third to Shuil Ceoil over C&D on penultimate start (now meets that rival on 8 lb better terms). Needs to pull out a bit more but that's entirely possible. Visor applied. Respectable chase debut; back hurdling with overall improvement needed in first headgear.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 -10%) Shuil Ceoil	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(3) Shuil Ceoil 11/4, Didn't take to fences but strong in the market and took advantage of reduced mark back hurdling over C&D (soft) last month. 6 lb rise fair enough and he has to enter calculations. Reverted to hurdles from fences with a C&D win (soft) in January; also effective on good.
3	4 3rd (4) (13/2 +35%) Bobalot	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(4) Bobalot 13/2, Good second at Chepstow on his yard debut last month before unseating rider early on over this C&D 14 days later. Got round when third at Hereford (25.5f, good) subsequently and he needs considering off this 1 lb lower mark. Placed at Chepstow (extended 2m3f) and Hereford (3m2f, good) either side of an unseat here.
4	6 4th (6) (16/1 +20%) Pearl's Pirate	16 16/1(+20%)	(6) Pearl's Pirate 16/1, Showed a bit sole bumper outing last March but his efforts over hurdles to date leave much to be desired. Cheekpieces enlisted. 15l eighth of 13 on handicap debut at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft; 7-1); cheekpieces now.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/3 +17%) Ghasham	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(2) Ghasham 10/3, Opened hurdles account at Market Rasen in March 2023 and, though winless since, he has got back on track in recent months with a series of solid placed efforts, including last month at Warwick (19f, heavy). Leading claims off the same mark here. Placed last three; bit further to go (unsure to stay) and best efforts on softer than good.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 -113%) Bank On Frank	4 4/1(-113%)	(1) Bank On Frank 4/1, Runner-up sole start in points and there were clear signs that he's getting the hang of things in this sphere when fourth of 10 in a maiden here (17.7f, good to soft) last time. Improvement likely now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Major improvement is needed on this handicap debut; marked step up in trip in weak race.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Returning to the smaller obstacles worked the oracle for Shuil Ceoil, who recorded a narrow success over C&D when last seen in January. A 6lb rise looks a little harsh, though, and a chance is taken on BANK ON FRANK. Ben Pauling has his string in fine form and the seven-year-old could enhance that record pitched into handicaps for the first time off a workable mark. Ghasham is another to consider.

With improvement anticipated now upped in trip for this handicap debut, BANK ON FRANK could be the answer to this rather trappy-looking contest. Ghasham has been threatening to come good of late and he looks sure to be in the mix once again, while Summer In Milan has a good chance of reversing January C&D placings with Shuil Ceoil on these revised terms. Bobalot is also considered.

As it's a weak race, SHUIL CEOIL may well be able to follow up his January C&D win.

14:10 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 22f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:22 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 12f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (9/5 +46%) Dubai Harbour	1.8 9/5(+46%)	(6) Dubai Harbour 9/5, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (10/3) at this course (10f, AW) 40 days ago, just holding on. 2 lb nudge fair enough and, with the booking of Simon Walker a plus, he has to be taken very seriously. Two wins here during the winter and he looks worth a try at this new trip; key player.
5	5 (5) (10/3 +56%) Fravanco	3.333333 10/3(+56%)	(5) Fravanco 10/3, Course winner. Sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft, 80/1) on hurdles bow 22 days ago. Now just 1 lb above last winning mark and will be a danger to all if on-song. Won at Kempton in September but he's struggled on the Flat and over hurdles last twice.
4	4 (4) (6/1 -33%) Royal Observatory	6 6/1(-33%)	(4) Royal Observatory 6/1, Winner at Chelmsford in December. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 4/1) 55 days ago. This 5-y-o is proving to be a reliable proposition and should give another good account back up in trip here. His form dropped off at Newcastle last time and still has stamina to prove at this trip.
8	8 (8) (10/1 -67%) National Health	10 10/1(-67%)	(8) National Health 10/1, 12/1, creditable third of 12 in minor event at this C&D (AW) 4 days ago, running on. Will surely shed his maiden tag soon enough and likely to give another good account of himself. 0-15 but he's been placed in five of his last six runs including over C&D on Monday.
7	7 (7) (10/1 -25%) Bloodhound	10 10/1(-25%)	(7) Bloodhound 10/1, 4/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 25 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time for this debut on polytrack and will need to put that run behind him if he's to come out on top. 0-14 but was runner-up at Wolverhampton in January and has possibilities on that form.
3	3 (3) (11/1 -10%) Sea Of Charm	11 11/1(-10%)	(3) Sea Of Charm 11/1, Course winner. Latest success at Wolverhampton in September. Fourth of 7 in handicap (10/3) back there (12.2f) when last seen in October, left poorly placed. Needs to find improvement from somewhere. Ordinary strike-rate of 3-47 but she's generally reliable and is not ruled out on return.
1	1 (1) (11/1 -214%) French Martini	11 11/1(-214%)	(1) French Martini 11/1, Won 11-runner handicap (13/2) at Bath (17.1f, heavy) on first run following a wind op 158 days ago. Back down in trip and has a bit to prove returned to this surface (well held both starts on polytrack last spring). Came good with 4l win at Bath (2m) in October; respected back in trip on her return.
2	2 (2) (12/1 +52%) Throne Hall	12 12/1(+52%)	(2) Throne Hall 12/1, 66/1, last of 8 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was poor, too, and he is readily passed over, for all that he has slipped to a potentially very handy mark. Has lost her way under both codes and needs a major revival back on the Flat.
10	10 (10) (66/1 -136%) Global Style	66 66/1(-136%)	(10) Global Style 66/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving Tony Carroll when tenth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 80/1) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip and sports a first-time visor. Missed last year and was out the back at Southwell on recent comeback; others preferred.
9	9 (9) (80/1 -100%) Mapogo	80 80/1(-100%)	(9) Mapogo 80/1, 40/1, last of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 29 days ago and it's hard to envisage him playing a leading role here on the back of that performance. Regressive 17-race maiden who has been out of form since last spring; can only be watched.

Having displayed a willing attitude to score by the smallest of margins over 1m2f here last month, Dubai Harbour warrants respect in his follow-up bid. However, the son of Invincible Spirit is far from certain to stay today's extra two furlongs and NATIONAL HEALTH looks a more solid proposition. Olly Murphy's gelding posted a solid third over C&D in classified company four days ago and this switch to a handicap could prove fruitful. Royal Observatory is the pick of the remainder.

It can pay to keep the faith with FRAVANCO, who was in good form prior to finishing down the field on his latest start in this sphere at Kempton in January. He is just 1 lb higher in the weights compared to when landing a Kempton handicap in September. Royal Observatory has been holding his form well and he is next on the list ahead of Dubai Harbour and National Health.

The vote goes to DUBAI HONOUR, who was a brave winner here last time and has shaped as though new trip should be within range.

14:22 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:30 Wetherby Selling Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (10/11 -36%) Tamar Bridge	0.909091 10/11(-36%)	(4) Tamar Bridge 10/11, Off almost 2 years before posting a very good second at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in October but she beat only one in 2m4f Lingfield handicap 2 months later. This C&D winner still holds major form claims dropped into selling grade. Very useful at best; ran well back from absence; not so good since; big chance at weights.
1	1 (1) (9/4 +10%) Honneur D'ajonc	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(1) Honneur D'ajonc 9/4, Arrives in good nick for his current yard, visored for the first time when second of 7 in claiming hurdle (11/4) at Catterick (15.7f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Not discounted. Useful hurdler and smart chaser but unpredictable now; back to form latest; form chance.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +38%) Wolfspear	4 4/1(+38%)	(2) Wolfspear 4/1, Got back on track when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) 18 days ago. More is required at these weights however. Three wins from 8 handicap completions at 2m4f and 2m2f; back to form latest; a contender.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

Although TAMAR BRIDGE was never travelling when finishing a well-beaten fifth at Lingfield 100 days ago, he makes grand appeal on his entry into selling company. The veteran is clear on the ratings and a fifth career victory could be on the horizon. The selection's stablemate Wolfspear arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Stratford and a similar performance should see him in the mix, although a bigger threat may emerge from recent Catterick runner-up Honneur D'Ajonc.

TAMAR BRIDGE wasn't at his best when fifth at Lingfield before Christmas but is still very hard to oppose dropped in grade for an in-form yard. Honneur d'Ajonc looks the one to give Olly Murphy's veteran most to do ahead of Wolfspear.

Honneur d'Ajonc and TAMAR BRIDGE have queries about them now but the latter gets the vote on the strength of his reappearance run.

14:40 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 22f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (7/2 -5%) Sir Rock	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(3) Sir Rock 7/2, Winner of first 2 starts over fences last season, the second of which was registered over this C&D. Failed to fire first 4 runs of present campaign but back on track when a clear second at Huntingdon (23.6f, good to soft) and he's a big player returned to this venue off the same mark. C&D winner; surged back to form with second at Huntingdon (3m) last time.
6	6 (6) (4/1 -14%) Wellwillya	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Wellwillya 4/1, Took form up a notch when opening chase account at Exeter in October and arguably produced an even better effort with a tidy success over this C&D last month. However, those victories bookmark a string of below-par displays and he's not one to bank on by any means. Won first and latest of five chases; considered despite poor earlier record on good ground.
9	9 (9) (9/2 +63%) No Drama	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(9) No Drama 9/2, No impact in 4 starts switched to fences for new yard this season, latterly finishing almost 20 lengths adrift of the re-opposing winner Wellwillya over C&D last month. Others preferred. His four runs since huge absence don't suggest he's come far enough down the weights.
5	5 (5) (6/1 +0%) The Cox Express	6 6/1(+0%)	(5) The Cox Express 6/1, Bumper winner who is 0-11 over hurdles and while he made an encouraging start over fences when runner-up in an Exeter handicap (19.2f, soft) in December, his subsequent efforts at Taunton and Lingfield have left much to be desired. Now tried in blinkers. Chasing last three starts, easily best effort on first; cheekpieces give way to blinkers.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +19%) Sangiovese	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(2) Sangiovese 13/2, Won a novice handicap hurdle at Southwell last January and runner-up next 2 starts, albeit not looking the most enthusiastic. Lack of enthusiasm has proved to be an issue both runs this time round, too, latterly returned to Southwell for his chase debut, and he's one to treat with caution. Only fifth of six on chase debut latest but this step back up in trip will presumably help.
4	4 (4) (10/1 -100%) Fine Investment	10 10/1(-100%)	(4) Fine Investment 10/1, Point winner who, having rejoined his former yard, performed above market expectations (sent off at 16/1) when beaten just over 2 lengths into third in a 5-runner Leicester handicap (2½m, heavy) back from 10 months off. One to consider off an unchanged mark. 1-7 in points and 0-10 under rules; does not look the percentage call.
7	7 (7) (11/1 -38%) King Of The Story	11 11/1(-38%)	(7) King Of The Story 11/1, Got off the mark on second start for this yard in a 6-runner handicap chase over this C&D in August 2023. Absent since finishing a creditable fourth of 12 at Hereford in November of that year, though, and his record when fresh suggests that this is probably not the day to lend him support. Best 2023 efforts (including C&D win on good) give him a shot but he's been off 493 days.
1	1 (1) (12/1 +14%) Calvic	12 12/1(+14%)	(1) Calvic 12/1, Proved better than ever when gaining second chase success for current yard at Worcester (2½m, good) last summer. Followed that with a couple of decent efforts but form has dipped badly the last twice and he needs to bounce back following a 176-day absence. Absent 176 days and needs respect judged on his two wins in 2024.
8	8 (8) (40/1 -60%) Tommy Dillion	40 40/1(-60%)	(8) Tommy Dillion 40/1, Winning hurdler but has clearly been difficult to train and was pulled up first 2 starts since returning from a lengthy absence in January. Managed to get round at Leicester last time but he was well beaten and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Switched to chasing for last four starts and they don't offer encouragement.
10	10 (10) (100/1 -52%) Design Flaw	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Design Flaw 100/1, Looks of little account and up against it here from 8 lb out of the handicap. Modest at best in Ireland; no worthwhile form in four races in Britain since; blinkers now.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Wellwillya is 2lb well-in having recorded a commanding C&D success last month and although respected, ground conditions are going to be much different and it might pay to side with SANGIOVESE. Gary and Josh Moore's charge wasn't disgraced on his chasing debut earlier this month and the step up in trip is potentially in his favour. Sir Rock can chase the pair home.

Having returned to form when finding just one too good at Huntingdon last time, SIR ROCK looks the way to go. He is 4 lb lower than when scoring over C&D last January and gets the nod ahead of Fine Investment, who didn't shape at all badly on his belated seasonal reappearance at Leicester. Wellwillya did the job well here last time but whether or not he will be in the same form is anybody's guess.

Following his return to form last time, SIR ROCK may now be able to go one better, from Calvic, Wellwillya and Sangiovese.

14:52 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (3/1 +14%) Francis Drake	3 3/1(+14%)	(2) Francis Drake 3/1, Belardo gelding who matched previous best 9modest form) when fourth of 8 in maiden at this course (8f, AW, 5/1) 23 days ago, having run of race. In good hands so feasible to think he can do better now handicapping. One to monitor in the betting for clues. Unexposed handicap newcomer and he looks interesting on this drop in trip.
6	6 (6) (7/2 +13%) Private Island	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(6) Private Island 7/2, Twilight Son filly who has finished midfield at best in 3 maiden/novice events at up to 7f spread over 5 months. However, pedigree/connections offer definite optimism for better now handicapping and she's one to note. Well-bred filly and she looks a possible improver on handicap debut; needs a close look.
7	7 (7) (4/1 -14%) Hidden Verse	4 4/1(-14%)	(7) Hidden Verse 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in novice at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy, 20/1) in August. Off 7 months/equipped with cheekpieces ahead of this switch to handicaps and booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye. Now gelded and goes handicapping but he needs a transformation after 217 days off.
10	10 (10) (5/1 +17%) Ceira G	5 5/1(+17%)	(10) Ceira G 5/1, Confirmed promise of stable debut effort when opening her account at Chelmsford (7f) in February. Similar form when runner-up in 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 17 days ago and fancied to be thereabouts again. Won at Chelmsford and looked unlucky in her follow-up bid at Wolverhampton; big player.
1	1 (1) (15/2 +46%) Piranha Rama	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(1) Piranha Rama 15/2, Three wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 50/1) 23 days ago, caught wide and weakening over 1f out. Could bounce back from a handy draw back up in trip. On last winning mark but she's lost her way recently and needs a major revival.
8	8 (8) (8/1 -45%) Risk	8 8/1(-45%)	(8) Risk 8/1, Maiden who has stepped up a little on the back of a short break, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 41 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Visor on 1st time and considered back at 7f. Reached the frame in last three runs but is now 0-8 and needs to find more in new headgear.
4	4 (4) (18/1 +10%) Belabambina	18 18/1(+10%)	(4) Belabambina 18/1, Coulsty filly who left pair of exploits as a 2-y-o behind after 6 months off when close-up sixth of 11 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 150/1) 25 days ago, running on. That may not be the most robust piece of form but switch to handicaps definitely in her favour now. Showed promise at Wolverhampton last time and she's in the mix on handicap debut.
3	3 (3) (28/1 +0%) Summer Of Light	28 28/1(+0%)	(3) Summer Of Light 28/1, Fair maiden at best but ended time with Michael Wigham well below form, weakening over 1f out when tenth of 12 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f, 25/1) in November. Hood reached for now starting out for new yard and others more persuasive. Seven-race maiden and has something to prove on return for new yard; hood added.
5	5 (5) (33/1 -136%) Spoilt	33 33/1(-136%)	(5) Spoilt 33/1, Down the field first 2 starts and much better on qualifying run when staying on second of 8 in a C&D maiden 7 weeks ago. Opening mark demands further progress now handicapping. 125-1 second in C&D maiden latest; dangerous if she can build on that on handicap debut.

CEIRA G lost momentum at a pivotal point in the closing stages when finishing second at Wolverhampton earlier this month. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings for Michael Keady's filly looks workable and a second career victory could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from handicap debutant Spoilt, who arrives on the back of a solid second over C&D. Risk is also worth a look sporting a first-time visor.

RISK confirmed the improvement he showed when third on his penultimate start when fourth in a Southwell handicap 6 weeks ago and he could be the answer with a first-time visor now enlisted. Ceira G ran another solid race when runner-up at Wolverhampton recently and she's entitled to be in the mix again. Private Island and Francis Drake are handicap newcomers to note for good yards.

Preference is for CEIRA G (nap), who won a Chelmsford handicap last month and looked unlucky in her follow-up bid at Wolverhampton.

Another bold showing is on the cards under a 7 lb penalty. Made it 2-2 for yard with something to spare at Southwell; 7lb penalty may not stop him.

HAREL DU MARAIS has been revitalised since racing under the tutelage of Charles & Adam Pogson earlier this month, with two cosy victories at Southwell. A 7lb penalty doesn't look the limit of the eight-year-old's ability and a hat-trick is a distinct possibility. Hold Onto The Line relished a drop back in distance when scoring at Newcastle 13 days ago and he's feared most, marginally ahead of Special Dragon, who is open to improvement in this sphere.

HAREL DU MARAIS hasn't looked back since joining Charles and Adam Pogson and is weighted to go 3-3 under a 7 lb penalty here. Special Dragon remains with potential in this sphere though and could also have a say, with Newcastle scorer Hold Onto The Line and fencing debutant Baseline worthy of respect too.

Preference is for HOLD ONTO THE LINE, who has been in good form the last twice and is taken to add to his recent win at Newcastle.

Should be competitive again. British form is moving back in right direction; 2nd at Southwell (2m; evens) latest outing.
4	4 (4) (3/1 -20%) Kalif D'airy	3 3/1(-20%)	(4) Kalif D'airy 3/1, Turned in another solid display when second in 8-runner handicap at Sandown (19.8f) in February. Disappointed tackling extended 21f trip here next time but pick of his form gives him sound claims returned to maiden company. Player. 0-9 overall but second in three consecutive starts this winter; flop in cheekpieces latest.
2	2 (2) (4/1 -14%) Boston Boy	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Boston Boy 4/1, Has shown plenty of temperament (running out twice this season) but took step in right direction when third in a novice at Doncaster (16.6f) in January. Raced freely and never figured on handicap bow at Ascot (23.5f) 6 weeks ago but not discounted back down in trip.

Headgear discarded with a tongue strap now fitted and bounce back called for. Below best last three starts and latest (visored) was a shocker; now has his tongue tied.

Not in same form when sixth upped to 19.5f back at that track latest but he remains the type to do better, particularly in handicaps. Hurdle debut was satisfactory; disappointed next time; none of his form looks good enough.
7	7 (7) (18/1 -80%) Surrey Lord	18 18/1(-80%)	(7) Surrey Lord 18/1, Fair form all 3 outings in bumpers so disappointing he ran a long way below that level when third of 9 in a Southwell maiden hurdle (15.8f) 25 days ago. This should reveal more. Significant ability in bumpers but a mile behind first two on hurdle debut at Southwell.
6	6 (6) (22/1 -120%) Spectre One	22 22/1(-120%)	(6) Spectre One 22/1, Offered much more than he had on only start in bumpers when fourth in a Southwell maiden hurdle (15.8f) in February. Couldn't replicate that when well held ninth of 12 in Ludlow novice (15.7f) later that month but in good hands and he'll be of interest in handicaps after this. 25-1 fourth on hurdle debut at Southwell (2m) was miles better than starts either side.
5	5 (5) (25/1 +50%) Sgian Dubh	25 25/1(+50%)	(5) Sgian Dubh 25/1, Fair maiden at best on the Flat who surpassed previous hurdles form equipped with first-time blinkers when fifth in 14-runner Kempton maiden (2m) 7 weeks ago. However, he again looked less than straightforward and needs treating with a degree of caution. Had wind surgery. Better on latest start but subsequent wind surgery still needs to make a big difference.

WHATSYOURPROBLEM went close when filling the runner-up spot at Southwell and any further progress might be enough for Fergal O'Brien's gelding to break his maiden. Boston Boy wouldn't be one to rely on heavily but he is more than capable and ought to go close, while others to note include Kalif D'airy and French Symphony, who could improve for the application of a first-time tongue-tie.

KALIF D'AIRY needs to shrug off a lesser effort over further here 33 days ago, but he was compiling a pretty solid record in handicaps previously so, with the drop back in trip unlikely to pose any fears, he gets the nod to bounce back returned to maiden company. Recent Southwell second Whatsyourproblem is an obvious danger, whilst Boston Boy is more than capable of playing a part if putting his best foot forward.

Boston Boy and Kalif d'Airy also have plenty of ability but WHATSYOURPROBLEM may at last have found the right opportunity.

Virtue Patience faced some tall assignments on his two novice/maiden appearances as a juvenile and he should prove more competitive in these calmer waters. Regardless, it could be worth taking a punt on one of the newcomers, with KEY WITNESS topping the bill. The son of Acclamation is a half-brother to Irish Listed winner Panama Red, and Archie Watson's inmate could prove tough to beat if possessing the same ability. The market should prove informative, with fellow newcomer Saguaro Blossom also of interest.

Not a strong maiden by any means so it could be worth siding with a debutant. KEY WITNESS appeals as a likely type for a yard no stranger to success with their newcomers and earns the vote before market clues. Dianarina showed promise on her only start in France last year and is respected despite a less-than-ideal draw. Virtue Patience and another newcomer, Saguaro Blossom are others worth a look.

Virtue Patience is the pick of those to have run but KEY WITNESS looks a likely type on paper and can make a winning debut.

JACOVEC CAVERN was six lengths clear and in command when coming to grief at the final flight at Cork recently and despite having a 6lb higher UK mark to contend with, Paul Hennessy's charge can execute a successful raid, should he be none the worse for that tumble. Crazierthandaisy landed a novice at Warwick in December and she could put up the most resistance now pitched into handicaps from a seemingly workable opening mark. Blue Hop drops in class and must be respected, while Kap Vert is also noted.

This is wide open but Irish challenger JACOVEC CAVERN looked to have the race in safe keeping until coming down at the final flight at Cork last week and is fancied to gain compensation off a still handy mark. Nicky Henderson's handicap debutant Crazierthandaisy appeals as a likely improver and could emerge as the main danger, although Book of Tales, Blue Hop and Magic Wave all need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

Irish challenger JACOVEC CAVERN was 6l ahead when falling at the final flight at Cork last week and can make amends.

Handicapper applies further pressure now but definite claims in hat-trick bid. Bidding for 3-3 in cheekpieces; the move away from soft/heavy may be the chief question.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +0%) Diplomatic Ash	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(4) Diplomatic Ash 9/2, Temperamental sort but put his best foot forward when opening his account in a C&D handicap at the start of the month and defied a 3 lb rise with cheekpieces applied back here over 17.7f 11 days ago. This tougher but respected nevertheless under a penalty in hat-trick bid. His career seems to be taking off again (two wins here this month) and he's respected.
3	3 (3) (13/2 +7%) Royal Mer	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(3) Royal Mer 13/2, Notched 5 wins over fences in 2023/24. Yet to score this term but confirmed his return to form from an easing mark when ½-length second of 6 to Diplomatic Ash in handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft) 22 days ago.

10	10 (10) (7/1 +50%) Doc Mccoy	7 7/1(+50%)	(10) Doc Mccoy 7/1, Impressive winner on sole start in points and successful start to hurdle career at Huntingdon on return last season. Struggled under a penalty next 2 starts, however, and has offered little switched to fences this term. Blinkers replace cheekpieces. This season's four runs over fences were not inspiring; cheekpieces latest, now blinkers.
9	9 (9) (15/2 -7%) Joe Cotton	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(9) Joe Cotton 15/2, Made a winning debut over fences at Exeter (19.2f) this time last year and proving consistent this season despite typically not having much to offer at the business end when third back at Exeter (19.2f) 21 days ago. Application of the blinkers look well worth a try. It's easy to see him on the premises if first-time blinkers don't have an adverse effect.
11	11 (11) (11/1 +8%) Hatos	11 11/1(+8%)	(11) Hatos 11/1, Back-to-back winner of 2m handicaps for Anthony Honeyball last season. Best effort for new yard when third at Wincanton (15.7f) in November but hasn't looked at the top of his game since, no sharper for refitting of blinkers when fourth at Exeter (19.2f) 3 weeks ago. Made the frame on all five starts this season but soundly beaten last two; tongue-tie off.
2	2 (2) (11/1 -38%) Next Left	11 11/1(-38%)	(2) Next Left 11/1, Took well to fences in the first half of this season, winning (over 20f) at Warwick and Worcester. Operating below best in 2 starts following a winter break but return to a sounder surface is a likely plus with cheekpieces on 1st time. Better showing anticipated. Did well last spring/autumn; beaten 20l on his last two starts; wears headgear first time.

Not discredited in finishing midfield in pair of handicaps since but this no easy assignment again operating from out of the weights. Form is up and down; one win (here last February) in last 20 starts; 4lb out of handicap.
5	5 (5) (14/1 -133%) Zestful Hope	14 14/1(-133%)	(5) Zestful Hope 14/1, Fair handicap hurdler/chaser who recorded a first success in this sphere in 6-runner handicap at Hereford (19f) 33 days ago, keeping on gamely having never been too far away from a strong gallop. Possibilities again with a repeat from 5 lb higher mark. No win away from Hereford but the 5lb rise since winning last time does not rule him out.
7	7 (7) (16/1 -14%) Fame And Fun	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Fame And Fun 16/1, Revived by a return to positive tactics/refitting of cheekpieces when running out a wide-margin winner here (21.6f, heavy) in January. Jumping let him down over hurdles next time but back on track when third over fences at Ffos Las (19.4f) 4 weeks ago. This a deeper affair, though. Won easily here (2m6f, heavy) in January and he did win on good ground one year ago.
8	8 (8) (20/1 -43%) Call Off The Dogs	20 20/1(-43%)	(8) Call Off The Dogs 20/1, Regular here who added another C&D success to his tally (third course victory) in September. Found run of good form coming to a halt next 2 starts, a mixed round of jumping not helping his cause at Wincanton (15.7f) in November. Absent since. Good record here; off since November but he's still one to note with ground to suit.
6	6 (6) (28/1 -133%) Koenigsstern	28 28/1(-133%)	(6) Koenigsstern 28/1, Dual winning pointer who opened his chase account at the third attempt here (17.7f) on Boxing Day. However, not got close to replicating that performance in 2 subsequent runs. 2m2f win here in December; not so good next time and tailed off in cheekpieces latest.

Turned out again relatively quickly after a taking success over shorter here recently, DIPLOMATIC ASH is likely to relish going back up in trip and can land the hat-trick under a 7lb penalty. That may be at the main expense of Good Friday Fairy, who has been raised 6lb for his most recent success at Taunton. Hereford winner Zestful Hope is another to consider, along with the consistent Joe Cotton.

GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY has been resurgent since the cheekpieces went on, supplementing his easy Wincanton victory with another emphatic success at Taunton 4 weeks ago. He gets the narrow vote to bring up the hat-trick in this sort of form. Royal Mer and Diplomatic Ash are others to consider, whilst Next Left isn't one to write off from an easing mark.

Hat-trick seekers Diplomatic Ash and Good Friday Fairy have to be shortlisted but slight preference is for CALL OFF THE DOGS.

1	1 (1) (7/4 +42%) Midnightattheoasis	1.75 7/4(+42%)	(1) Midnightattheoasis 7/4, Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f, 16/5) 3 days ago by neck from Pop Dancer. Good chance under penalty in hat-trick bid. Chasing a quick hat-trick and this could be run to suit him; leading claims.
3	3 (3) (7/2 -17%) Pop Dancer	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(3) Pop Dancer 7/2, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 9/2, good neck second of 11 to Midnightattheoasis in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 3 days ago. Good shout. Dangerous mark and ran well at Newcastle on Tuesday; other pace to deal with this time.
4	4 (4) (11/2 +50%) Forest Gunner	5.5 11/2(+50%)	(4) Forest Gunner 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 29 days ago. Others more persuasive. No real impact in either handicap start; down in weights but others look safer.
5	5 (5) (7/1 -40%) Rebel Star	7 7/1(-40%)	(5) Rebel Star 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2 and visored for 1st time, second of 4 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago, caught 3-wide around the turn despite there only being 4 runners and then still looking rough around the edges once hitting the front. Sure to be winning races soon. Good 2nd on recent handicap debut; still low mileage but perhaps not straightforward.
6	6 (6) (7/1 +13%) Lion Ring	7 7/1(+13%)	(6) Lion Ring 7/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 19 runs last year. 17/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 20 days ago. Four wins last autumn, including C&D; solid run latest but other pace to deal with today.
7	7 (7) (14/1 -17%) Unavailable	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Unavailable 14/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win here in December. 12/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 23 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. 6f win here in December; struggled in Class 5 here latest; new accessories today.
2	2 (2) (14/1 +22%) Dream By Day	14 14/1(+22%)	(2) Dream By Day 14/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 14/1) 29 days ago. Regressive this winter but this might be run to suit and he's dropped down the weights.
8	8 (8) (22/1 -144%) Suanni	22 22/1(-144%)	(8) Suanni 22/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Good third of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 12/1) 11 days ago. Two good runs at Wolverhampton the last twice; another big run expected from a handy draw.
9	9 (9) (25/1 -39%) Battle Point	25 25/1(-39%)	(9) Battle Point 25/1, One win (over C&D) from 33 Flat runs. 15/2, bit below form sixth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 31 days ago, left poorly placed. Poor strike-rate and held in classified events so far this year; others appeal more.

MIDNIGHTATTHEOASIS has benefited from a drop to 5f on his last couple of starts including at Newcastle on Tuesday when just getting the better of Pop Dancer. Despite a 5lb swing with Tony Carroll's gelding due to a penalty, the five-year-old should still be a tough nut to crack. Rebel Star finished runner-up on her handicap bow at Wolverhampton and commands the utmost respect.

REBEL STAR was perhaps unlucky not to win at Wolverhampton last week and is fancied to see off Tuesday's Newcastle 1-2 Midnightattheoasis and Pop Dancer and open her account.

Low-grade fare but some fast horses on show and this could be set up perfectly for the hat-trick seeking MIDNIGHTATHEOASIS.

7	7 (7) (15/8 +17%) Heroique De Maulde	1.875 15/8(+17%)	(7) Heroique De Maulde 15/8, Won twice over fences in France and off the mark on this side of the Channel for James Ewart at Doncaster in February 2023. No show first 3 starts of this season following a lengthy absence but firmly back on track when finding just one too good at Newcastle (23.4f, good) and he's a key player. Back to form with close second at Newcastle (middle leg of a hat-trick for the winner).
1	1 (1) (5/2 +55%) Realisation	2.5 5/2(+55%)	(1) Realisation 5/2, Winning hurdler who made a promising start over fences when placed at Warwick and Lingfield earlier this term. However, she has failed to build on those efforts the last twice (sketchy round of jumping being a key contributor to her downfall last time) but this step up in trip could be a good move. Below par the last twice but a case can be made on her promising form last autumn.
6	6 (6) (5/1 +33%) Giovanni Change	5 5/1(+33%)	(6) Giovanni Change 5/1, Four-time hurdles winner who has twice finished in the money in 27.6f handicap chases at Market Rasen. However, those creditable placings were both preceded by lesser efforts, commensurate with his hit-and-miss profile. Others make more appeal on balance. Some fair form at Market Rasen among recent starts but this 10yo is on a long losing run.
8	8 (8) (5/1 +44%) Mixedwave	5 5/1(+44%)	(8) Mixedwave 5/1, Bagged a couple of handicap chases at Huntingdon last term but, save for a respectable effort at Doncaster in January, it's been a struggle so far this season. Needs to bounce back. He's below his last winning mark but current campaign has been somewhat underwhelming.
4	4 (4) (15/2 +63%) Court At Slip	7.5 15/2(+63%)	(4) Court At Slip 15/2, Likeable sort who scored 3 times in 2022/23, including over this C&D, and added to his tally on the second of his 3 appearances last season. Pulled up on return at Carlisle but he was returning from a 14-month absence that day and better can be expected here. Runs off last winning mark but pulled up at Carlisle recently when back from long absence.
9	9 (9) (28/1 +58%) Mister Bells	28 28/1(+58%)	(9) Mister Bells 28/1, Now 8 lb lower than for his latest win in a 25f veterans' handicap chase at Catterick last January but he has shown precious little in 4 starts during the present campaign. Now 8lb lower than when winning last January but this 11yo has struggled this season.

It remains to be seen as to whether this is HEROIQUE DE MAULDE's optimum trip, but he struck the woodwork over an extended 2m7f at Newcastle earlier this month, and that form has worked out well. He's officially 2lb well in today and, if finding any further improvement, might be tough to beat. Fete Champetre was in front when falling two from home at Ayr three weeks ago and must enter calculations raised 2lb in the handicap, while Roger Rarebit should not be overlooked.

HEROIQUE DE MAULDE was heavily backed and duly returned to form when runner-up at Newcastle earlier this month, form which was given a boost when the winner went on to complete the hat-trick at Sedgefield last week. The 8-y-o remains on a good mark and will likely prove a tough nut to crack here. It's not hard to envisage Court At Slip showing himself in a far better light than at Carlisle where he was returning from a lengthy absence and he is second choice ahead of Realisation.

The 10yo FETE CHAMPETRE was in front when falling two out at Ayr three weeks ago and is the selection ahead of Roger Rarebit.

2	2 (2) (6/4 +25%) Tommy The Tank	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(2) Tommy The Tank 6/4, Point winner who didn't need to improve to get off the mark over hurdles in 7-runner maiden (25.5f) at Hereford 6 weeks ago, making all. Should be competitive under a penalty. Easy odds-on winner last time (3m2f); perhaps more a staying prospect but he's promising.
3	3 (3) (6/4 +14%) Authentic Legacy	1.5 6/4(+14%)	(3) Authentic Legacy 6/4, Confirmed previous promise when off the mark in 6-runner handicap at Newbury (16.3f, soft) 27 days ago, travelling strongly. Bred to be suited by the step up in trip and looks difficult to oppose. Off the mark in 2m handicap at Newbury latest; penultimate start makes this trip a worry.
1	1 (1) (3/1 -20%) Elysian Knight	3 3/1(-20%)	(1) Elysian Knight 3/1, Left hurdle debut behind when springing a 40/1 surprise in a Ffos Las maiden in January. Shaped well in a race which tested speed more than stamina at Fakenham next time prior to finding the EBF Final too competitive. This is more suitable and no surprise were he to bounce back. Pulled up when 14-1 in the EBF Final at Sandown three weeks ago but could bounce back.
4	4 (4) (25/1 -178%) Doctor Midas	25 25/1(-178%)	(4) Doctor Midas 25/1, Below expectations on sole outing in bumpers but improved on hurdling debut form when second in 7-runner maiden at Ludlow (23.8f, good to soft) last month, staying on having been hampered 3 out. This demands another step forward for new yard. Three starts for Nicky Henderson, second to an impressive winner in a 3m maiden at Ludlow.
5	5 (5) (200/1 -33%) Fox Cottage	200 200/1(-33%)	(5) Fox Cottage 200/1, Hinted at ability on sole outing in bumpers but went with no promise on Plumpton hurdle debut. Upped markedly in trip. Beaten about 40l on soft in a bumper here (8-1) and 2m maiden hurdle at Plumpton (150-1).

TOMMY THE TANK could not have done it any easier when scoring over further at Hereford last month, and the fact he was second here last October is another plus. Authentic Legacy got off the mark with a taking performance at Newbury earlier in the month and stepping back up in trip may not inconvenience the son of Authorized. A winner at Ffos Las in January, Elysian Knight cannot be ruled out either.

AUTHENTIC LEGACY is bred to be suited by the step up in trip, so is taken to follow up his decisive win at Newbury at the beginning of the month. Elysian Knight is expected to bounce back from a poor showing in the EBF Final and rates the main threat ahead of Tommy The Tank.

The shorter trip for TOMMY THE TANK is a worry but he probably has sufficient potential to take care of this field nevertheless.

Not seen to very best effect more recently, wider than ideal when tenth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 18/1) 23 days ago. Not discounted. 6f win here in December was followed by two solid efforts; progress halted the last twice.
4	4 (4) (3/1 +40%) Bow Street	3 3/1(+40%)	(4) Bow Street 3/1, Winner at Newcastle in November. 16/1, may have needed the run after 12 weeks off when fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 41 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes polytrack debut. 6f win in November; satisfactory return at Southwell last month; needs more back at 5f.
1	1 (1) (9/2 +25%) Solar Edge	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(1) Solar Edge 9/2, Much improved after 12 weeks off/gelded when doubling career tally in 10-runner C&D handicap in December. Easy to back and well below that level when ninth of 12 in nursery at Southwell (5f) later that month but bounce back not ruled out returning from 105 days off. Two 5f nursery wins last year, including here; could yet rate higher as a 3yo.
9	9 (9) (13/2 +35%) Toolatetonegotiate	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(9) Toolatetonegotiate 13/2, Havana Grey filly who remains a maiden following 9 starts but gave her running once more when 1¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Commendation in handicap at this C&D (AW, 6/1) 40 days ago. Definite claims of being involved again. Running creditably in minor AW handicaps this winter; minor money perhaps her best hope.
3	3 (3) (7/1 -8%) Commendation	7 7/1(-8%)	(3) Commendation 7/1, C&D winner. Winner here in February. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (22/1) at this course (6f, AW) 4 days ago, never nearer. Will need things to drop just right given her run style but she's still lightly-raced at the minimum trip. Made a winning stable debut over C&D last month; no progress in two runs since.
7	7 (7) (8/1 -23%) Natsumi	8 8/1(-23%)	(7) Natsumi 8/1, Improver switched to handicaps/equipped with a tongue strap, off the mark at Chelmsford (5f) in November before a good second behind Solar Edge over C&D a month later. Not at best at Southwell later that month but given a break and bounce back anticipated. 5f win at Chelmsford in November before a C&D second to Solar Edge; below par last time.
5	5 (5) (16/1 +20%) Over Spiced	16 16/1(+20%)	(5) Over Spiced 16/1, Fair filly who landed a Leicester maiden (5f) for Tom Clover last spring. No significant impact on AW for present yard but mark is easing and not seen to best effect when fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 20 days ago, caught wider than ideal. Does need to settle better, however. Bright start for this yard but her form has cooled more recently; others are stronger.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -12%) Kodibeat	28 28/1(-12%)	(8) Kodibeat 28/1, Debut winner at Kempton (5f) last spring for Paul & Oliver Cole but failed to progress thereafter, including in trio of handicaps for Lawrence Mullaney. Visor fitted starting out for new yard back from 5 months off. Poor form for L Mullaney last autumn but tumbled down weights; new yard try a visor.

BOW STREET appeared to need his return to action when fifth at Southwell last month and the drop back a furlong is unlikely to inconvenience him in a bid for a second career victory. Toolatetonegotiate is expected to be in the mix after a string of consistent efforts during the winter months, while others to note include Early Release and Natsumi.

A competitive 3-y-o handicap with a chance taken on HORUS. A winner over 6f here in December, he hasn't been seen to very best effect in recent starts and, re-united with Sean Levey, he could represent a spot of value from a handy draw. His stablemate and C&D winner Commendation needs things to fall right but commands a second look. Early Release and Natsumi are others in with a shout, too.

Top-weight SOLAR EDGE looked good over C&D in December and he can uphold the placings with Natsumi.

NELSON GAY has been such a grand servant over the years and proved he retains plenty of enthusiasm for the game by registering two wins in 2025 already. Both have come over C&D and a 3lb rise for the most recent shouldn't inconvenience him too much. Popular Dream was just over a length behind him in third when meeting trouble and is 3lb better off after occupying the same position here subsequently. Blue Force was a model of consistency on the all-weather in the second half of last season and has to be feared on his return.

Having finished third in a better race a week ago, POPULAR DREAM makes plenty of appeal back down in grade. Last-time out winner Nelson Gay should give another good account from a 2 lb higher mark. while Blue Force would be feared if ready to roll after an absence.

The verdict comprises NELSON GAY (narrowly preferred) and Havechatma who have a combined record of 7-10 at this venue.

HENRYSBROTHERJACK got back on track with a decisive success at Bangor last time out and a subsequent 6lb rise might not be enough to stop the low-mileage six-year-old from going in again. Glory Hights went down narrowly at Ayr recently and is unlikely to be far away once again along with Aazza, who also struck the woodwork on her latest outing, which came over this C&D.

A 2 lb rise may not be enough to stop the consistent GLORY HIGHTS who can make amends for a narrow defeat at Ayr earlier this month. Aazza was runner-up at this venue 10 days ago and can go well again racing off the same mark, while last-time out winner Henrysbrotherjack is relatively unexposed and may still be improving.

The mare MYFAVOURITESISTER is a close relation to star stablemate The Real Whacker and could relish the step up in trip on h'cap debut.

7	7 (7) (28/1 -40%) Soigneux Bell	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) Soigneux Bell 28/1, Flat winner in France who readily landed juvenile hurdle over C&D in December 2023. However, has gone backwards in 3 subsequent outings and hopes pinned on first-time blinkers sparking a rival. Went down by more than 40l in his two handicaps this season; headgear change today.
1	1 (1) (40/1 -100%) Lord Maher	40 40/1(-100%)	(1) Lord Maher 40/1, Made a winning hurdling debut at Roscommon in June but below that level both outings for present yard and has been handed a stiff-looking mark. Won Irish maiden on rules debut last June; soundly beaten both British starts; h'cap debut.
10	10 (10) (40/1 -100%) I Love You Sivola	40 40/1(-100%)	(10) I Love You Sivola 40/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2022 and was pulled up in handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f, good to soft) on most recent outing. Lots to prove back over hurdles in a first-time visor. First hurdle race since 2023; visor is a new form of headgear; 6lb out of the handicap.

A major improver on his handicap debut after wind surgery when second at Warwick earlier in the month, ILITCH has the potential to progress further. Going up in trip looks like a good move and the seven-year-old is preferred to Copper Cove, who bounced back to form with a promising placed effort over 2m3f here latest. Roi De Baviere and Ugo Bingo are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

The vote goes to COPPER COVE, who is down to a good mark and confirmed himself back in better form when third at this venue earlier in the month. Ilitch and Ugo Bingo head up the opposition in a race that's likely to prove solid form for the grade.

Joe Tizzard has inherited an improving sort in UGO BINGO (nap) and the 6yo can now make it three wins from his last five starts.

1	1 (1) (11/10 +60%) Combustion	1.1 11/10(+60%)	(1) Combustion 11/10, Offered little in novice/maidens but progressive in classified contests since the turn of the year, best effort yet when bringing up the hat-trick at Chelmsford (6f) 5 weeks ago, by 1¾ lengths from Agent Mayfair. No surprise to see him highly competitive again on handicap debut. 3-3 since dropped to 6f; this demands further progress but it could be forthcoming.
3	3 (3) (4/1 +33%) Piperstown	4 4/1(+33%)	(3) Piperstown 4/1, Brought up a quick-fire hat-trick at Wolverhampton in February and not far off his best when respectable fifth of 9 in handicap back at that venue (6.1f) 16 days ago. Not out of things re-united with Rossa Ryan. Four wins since December, including both times he's been ridden by Rossa Ryan; contender.
5	5 (5) (15/2 -25%) Agent Mayfair	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(5) Agent Mayfair 15/2, Winner at Southwell in February. Good 1¾ lengths second of 11 to Combustion in minor event (15/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 34 days ago, headed final 1f and no extra. Can make his presence felt again from a handy draw. Comes here in good form but not sure to reverse latest placings with Combustion.
2	2 (2) (17/2 -6%) Silky Robin	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(2) Silky Robin 17/2, Found only one too good in 6f handicaps at Chelmsford/Wolverhampton earlier this year before a poor effort when ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 20 days ago. Drawn wider than ideal on this occasion. 15-race maiden but he'd been threatening prior to a poor run latest; drawn widest.
9	9 (9) (11/1 +21%) Lilkian	11 11/1(+21%)	(9) Lilkian 11/1, 4-time C&D winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 11 in minor event (11/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 13 days ago, merely plugging on. Not taken lightly. Near miss over C&D in January but he hasn't kicked on since.
8	8 (8) (16/1 -129%) Miss Moonshine	16 16/1(-129%)	(8) Miss Moonshine 16/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 12/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago, keeping on. Cheekpieces on 1st time and possibilities again under Hollie Doyle. Conditions to suit & placed all 4 times Hollie Doyle has ridden her; now gets cheekpieces.
7	7 (7) (25/1 -79%) Lynwood Lad	25 25/1(-79%)	(7) Lynwood Lad 25/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Sixth of 9 in minor event back at that venue (7.2f, 5/2) 17 days ago, racing freely and weakening final 100 yds. Not discounted returned to handicaps. Latest 7f run excusable; earlier Wolverhampton win brings him into the reckoning.
4	4 (4) (25/1 -56%) Mehmo	25 25/1(-56%)	(4) Mehmo 25/1, Stepped up a little with each start for present stable, good fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago, keeping on when short of room final 100 yds and unlucky not to finish closer. Each-way claims again kept to this trip. Solid efforts the last twice but he needs more to overcome a wide draw.
10	10 (10) (28/1 -40%) Don't Fight It	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) Don't Fight It 28/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022 but did show benefit of a recent run when creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Kempton (6f) 37 days ago, no extra final 1f. Each-way claims. Conditions no problem and she holds each-way claims if taking her chance.
6	6 (6) (33/1 -136%) Colorada Dancer	33 33/1(-136%)	(6) Colorada Dancer 33/1, Returned to form under a change of tactics when third at Kempton (7f) in February but faced competition upfront and ran poorly when last of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 18/1) 20 days ago. Reverts to sprinting now. Placed over 7f last month but well held either side of it; new trip today.
11	11 (11) (40/1 -21%) Barnsnape Boy	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Barnsnape Boy 40/1, Maiden who fared better than previously this year from a less-than-ideal track position when fourth of 9 in minor event (16/1) at this course (7f, AW) 63 days ago. However, more needed if he's to feature back in handicap company. 0-11 and although he has hinted at ability, others look safer for win purposes.

Combustion has to be of interest following a hat-trick in recent months but the switch to handicap company demands more from him. As a result, preference is for DON'T FIGHT IT, who was only beaten a length when fourth off this mark at Kempton last time. Miss Moonshine edges out Lynwood Lad and Agent Mayfair to be best of the rest.

COMBUSTION has been in fine form at a lower level, posting his best effort yet when bringing up the hat-trick over this trip at Chelmsford 5 weeks ago. He rates a big player from this sort of mark on handicap debut and can get the 4-timer up. Miss Moonshine, Agent Mayfair and Piperstown are others fancied to be thereabouts.

Progressive sorts are thin on the ground but COMBUSTION and Piperstown are notable exceptions.

2	2 (2) (13/8 +73%) Charging Thunder	1.625 13/8(+73%)	(2) Charging Thunder 13/8, Shaped well from what had appeared to be a fairly stiff opening mark when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft, 9/1) back in December. Fairly useful in this sphere, won on yard debut at Yarmouth in September. Considered back from a break. Won at Yarmouth on debut for new yard and is 2-3 over hurdles since; one to consider.
6	6 (6) (7/2 -75%) Wonder	3.5 7/2(-75%)	(6) Wonder 7/2, 11/10, didn't need to match the form he'd shown on recent starts when winning 3-runner handicap over C&D 24 days ago. Has to be taken seriously from an unchanged mark. C&D success two weeks ago took his AW record to 14231; respected off unaltered mark.
8	8 (8) (9/2 -29%) Further Measure	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(8) Further Measure 9/2, 2/1, made it 5 wins from his last 6 starts in 10-runner handicap at this course (14.1f) 17 days ago, nudged out and always holding on. Remains of plenty of interest despite a further 4 lb rise. Record of 5-6 this year includes three wins at Southwell; 3-3 under Sean Dylan Bowen.

Not out of things back at this distance. Hindered by steady pace last time; solid record otherwise on AW; place possibilities.
5	5 (5) (11/1 -29%) Pergamon	11 11/1(-29%)	(5) Pergamon 11/1, Built on previous promise when winning maiden at Dieppe (by neck from Manigod) on last of 3 starts in 2024, then left A. Fabre 22,000 gns. Has been gelded/had a breathing operation now returning from 8 months off and the market should be a good indicator on handicap debut. Produced form figures of 321 in France; still unexposed; interesting on British debut.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -50%) The Craftymaster	12 12/1(-50%)	(7) The Craftymaster 12/1, C&D winner. Six wins from 11 runs last year. Quickly back to form when second of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 11/1) 16 days ago, clear of rest. Cheekpieces back on. Prolific around this time last year so warrants considerable respect. 0-10 since his productive spell but went close at Newcastle last time; in the mix.
1	1 (1) (20/1 -82%) Maghlaak	20 20/1(-82%)	(1) Maghlaak 20/1, Dual winner over hurdles since last seen on the Flat, finding his run of good form coming to a halt when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Kelso (16.2f, soft) 6 weeks ago. Makes tapeta debut and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this sphere. Returns to Flat from hurdles; something to prove in first 2m attempt under this code.
4	4 (4) (28/1 -12%) Legendary Day	28 28/1(-12%)	(4) Legendary Day 28/1, Caused a 66/1 shock at Lingfield in February. 16/1, not in same form when well-beaten seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D just under 5 weeks ago. Percentage call is to look elsewhere. Well held here last month, failing to back up the form of his 66-1 win at Lingfield.

Jennie Candlish may have got a bargain in the ex-Juddmonte Frankel gelding Pergamon, who showed plenty of ability when with Andre Fabre. He is a fascinating contender but it is hard not to stick with FURTHER MEASURE, who has won five of his six races in 2025 and looks ready for the rise in class. Wonder probably didn't have much to beat over C&D, but he got the job done and has more to offer now his stamina is proven. Charging Thunder is worth a look on his return to the level.

Cases can be made for several, but the suggestion is WONDER, who didn't need to match the form he'd shown on recent starts to double his career tally over C&D earlier this month. From an unchanged mark, he can get the better of The Craftymaster, who was prolific around this time last year and signalled his turn is near last time. Further Measure, who has won 5 of his last 6 starts, completes the shortlist.

Impressive stats earn FURTHER MEASURE the vote ahead of fellow last-time course winner Wonder.

Has longer trip to overcome but makes plenty of appeal from the same mark. Easy win at Ffos Las last week; tackles new trip today but escapes a penalty for last time.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +60%) Vengaboy	4 4/1(+60%)	(2) Vengaboy 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was let down by jumping when seventh of 14 on handicap debut (28/1) at Fairyhouse in November 2023. Well-held in two starts for this yard, never threatened in first-time cheekpieces at Hexham (23.3f) earlier this month. Needs more. Lightly raced but down the field on both runs this year after missing all of 2024.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +29%) Hawkseye View	5 5/1(+29%)	(5) Hawkseye View 5/1, Point winner has yet to get mark under Rules but has gone close over fences despite proving a less than fluent jumper, again in evidence last time when third of 6 in handicap chase at Newcastle (23.4f). May be suited by a return to smaller obstacles and looks interesting off a falling handicap mark. 0-14 but in fair form in chases despite jumping lacking fluency; could be firmly involved.
4	4 (4) (7/1 +30%) Upfordebate	7 7/1(+30%)	(4) Upfordebate 7/1, Off the mark, in first-time tongue strap, when landing 8-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, soft) last month before finding trip and track too sharp at Catterick (19.3f) 31 days ago. Each-way chance with the return to a longer trip likely to prove suitable. Won at Ayr last month; only sixth since but retains potential, especially now up in trip.
6	6 (6) (7/1 +0%) Rumble B	7 7/1(+0%)	(6) Rumble B 7/1, Veteran is proving consistent and ran his best race so far this season when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (25.3f, good to soft), seeing out his race well under this conditional jockey. Should give his running again. Back to form when second at Catterick last month and could again be thereabouts.
3	3 (3) (14/1 -65%) Lathan	14 14/1(-65%)	(3) Lathan 14/1, Won a modest Newcastle maiden in November and would have bettered that form (looked set for 2nd) but for falling 2 out at this course just 24 hours later. Pulled up since but back on song after 11 weeks off when fifth at Newcastle (20f) 25 days ago. Place claims up in trip with cheekpieces fitted. Fair fifth at Newcastle this month and open to improvement now up in trip; possible player.
9	9 (9) (16/1 -33%) Prince Nino	16 16/1(-33%)	(9) Prince Nino 16/1, Losing run extends back to September 2023 but has posted a couple of creditable runners-up efforts this season. Bounced back from a disappointing effort when fifth of 8 at Newcastle 13 days ago, travelling more kindly and shaping as though worth another go at this trip. Each-way possibilities. Went close in January but unproven at this longer trip and below par the last twice.
1	1 (1) (50/1 -52%) Chatshow Host	50 50/1(-52%)	(1) Chatshow Host 50/1, Dual Irish point winner was inconsistent over hurdles last season and has made a discouraging start over fences in a couple of starts this season. Now reverts to hurdling following wind surgery and has a bit to prove. Has been out of form but perhaps a wind op will prompt a revival now she's back hurdling.

The Fergal O'Brien stable can do little wrong at present, and now that the penny has dropped for QUEEN OF STEEL after a taking success in a conditional handicap over shorter at Ffos Las last week, she looks well capable of following up. Placed on each of his previous two outings over further, Rumble B can follow her home, along with Hawkseye View, who could be interesting on his return to the smaller obstacles.

QUEEN OF STEEL looks to have been found a good opportunity to follow up last week's win and, still able to race off the same mark (due to go up 7 lb in future), she is worth a go at this longer trip on drying ground. Of the rest, Hawkseye View is feasibly handicapped if getting his jumping together back over smaller obstacles while consistent-veteran Rumble B can hit the frame again.

The mare QUEEN OF STEEL (nap) powered clear for a breakthrough win at Ffos Las last Friday and goes unpenalised today.

SKONTONOVSKI has plenty going for him on his first start for Ger O'Leary in this optional claimer. A rating of 70 entitles him to plenty of respect and Darragh O'Sullivan claims a handy 7lb off his back. He was last seen finishing a decent second in a C&D claimer in December. This is a drop in trip for Signor Ferrari, but he has winning form over it. Considering he has won two handicaps over further at Dundalk this year, his chance has to be taken seriously. Laura Hourigan has conjured five Dundalk victories from Notforalongtime, who is capable of going well.

Though SIGNOR FERRARI was put in his place both starts over this trip in December, he won well over 7f at Cork last spring and, having weakened out of contention late on in 10.7f contests the last twice, dropping back to this trip may well work in his favour. Little Keilee will be a threat if on-song, while Skontonovski is also shortlisted.

A chance is taken on NEZEEH from the bottom of the weights. He was below form over 6f last time but showed more on his penultimate run

Cheekpieces go back on in place of blinkers and he's steadily easing in the weights. Four AW wins over 7f and he could be dangerous dropped back in trip and grade.

In an open event marginal preference is for INTERVENTION, who caught the eye on his return to 7f at Wolverhampton last time. A former C&D winner, Mick Appleby's gelding could take plenty of stopping off a decent mark. Rey De La Batalla scored over this track and trip two starts ago and was only narrowly denied over a mile here last time. With that in mind, he could prove to be the main threat ahead of Diamondonthehill and Tadreeb.

INTERVENTION lines up having turned in his best effort for a while when third at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and Mick Appleby's 7-y-o is selected to build on that given he's lurking on a very handy mark judged on all-weather exploits last winter. Rey de La Batalla and Tadreeb are others to consider in a competitive contest.

A competitive race in which the progressive 4yo REY DE LA BATALLA gets the vote ahead of Tadreeb and Brasil Power.

Only One Blue has been costly to follow so far but, as a daughter of Galway Hurdle winner/Ascot Gold Cup runner-up Missunited, she should relish the rise from a mile. Even so, it is difficult to oppose LADY VIVIAN because she beat all bar a 92-rated Godolphin hotpot over 1m3f here and meets nothing of that calibre now. Kintbury has shown enough to warrant an interest, as has Regal River, who was a couple of places in front of La Trinite when third at Kempton.

Ralph Beckett's Camelot filly holds the clear edge on form and with more progress on the cards she earns a confident vote to get off the mark. Only One Blue rates the chief threat if, as expected, building on her Kempton fourth over this longer distance. Kintbury and Regal River appeal as the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours.

Only One Blue remains of interest but preference is for LADY VIVIAN who still had some learning to do when runner-up here recently.

WANDERING EGO improved from first to second start when only beaten a neck at Huntingdon last month and, with further progress expected, he can go one better for his in-form connections. A promising second on heavy ground at Sandown first time out last month, Mondoui'boy looks to be the main danger, along with well-bred debutant Girlfromtheglen, who should be monitored for market support.

WANDERING EGO took a step forward and wasn't beaten far behind a good prospect at Huntingdon 7 weeks ago so gets the vote over Mondoui'boy and Ned Hill. Starmount and Girlfromtheglen are appealing newcomers.

The ground will be quicker than MONDOUI'BOY has faced but, all things being equal, he does look the one to beat.

The draw hasn't been kind to CAMACHERO, but Colin Keane is a notable booking for this Camacho gelding. He showed good improvement to finish a running-on third over 1m at this track in January which brings him into contention. Havana Notion was just pipped by a neck and a short head in third in a sprint handicap last week, so has to enter calculations. Manhattan Dandy is well drawn in stall one and acquitted himself well when trying to make all before finishing second over a longer trip in November. If he is ready to go off the break, he ought to get in the mix.

An open-looking contest with the vote going to HAVANA NOTION, who stopped the slide from a tumbling mark when third here last week and he remains well treated on old form if able to back that up. Heading up the dangers is Harriet Eagle, who won first time up last season and fresh may be the best time to catch her. Manhattan Dandy and Camachero are another couple fancied to go well.

This could go the way of the top weight MACADAM'S ROCK who is a 3-time C&D winner who shaped well over 6f on return

FOSROC confirmed the promise he displayed on debut when second over 7f at Kempton in October and any further improvement could see the Charlie Hills-trained colt get off the mark. Superposition has the ability to go well, although the lengthy break is a slight concern. Killenaule caught the eye on his racecourse bow at Lingfield in November and is another to consider on his first appearance for the Harry Eustace team.

Harry Eustace's new recruit KILLENAULE made a promising start when third at Lingfield for Ollie Sangster and can get off to the perfect start here at the chief expense of Charlie Hills's fair maiden Fosroc. Superposition could also have a say on the back of breathing surgery, with Kingmaker and An Bradan Feasa others to consider.

The most solid option is FOSROC, whose 2yo form has substance. Killenaule is second choice.

SLOWDOWNBARNEY has been shaping like a step up in trip would suit. John McConnell's charge has been placed in his last three handicaps over 1m4f at this venue and wasn't stopping in the closing stages. Duke Otto has to rate a danger on the back of landing a handicap hurdle at Wexford on St Patrick's Day. On his penultimate outing, he was only beaten two lengths into fifth over C&D. Billie Frechette is a consistent sort who tries a new trip for Noel Meade, while first-time cheekpieces saw Is She Now keep on nicely for fourth place in February. Makaiah has been hurdling, but isn't without a chance back on the level.

This trip represents unchartered waters for OMAKASE but she has improved for the step up to 1½m the last twice and there's a good chance that this stiffer test will be right up her street. Metamorpheus was below par on his all-weather/yard debut here a fortnight ago but he's capable of much better and is lurking on a dangerous mark, while Billie Frechette and Duke Otto, both of whom arrive here on the back of good efforts over hurdles, are also feared.

4yo filly BILLIE FRECHETTE (nap) shaped like 2m may suit when last seen at this venue and she's run well over timber since

6	6 (6) (20/1 +0%) Makalu	20 20/1(+0%)	(6) Makalu 20/1, C&D winner. 20/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 162 days ago so needs to get back on track after a break. Failed to transfer his turf form back to AW when last seen.

KING OF YORK won twice over 7f here before finishing a neck second over C&D a week ago and he merits the utmost respect off a 2lb lower mark. Thats My Boy Luke bounced back to form when a close third at Newcastle at the beginning of the month and he has to be of interest. Others to consider are Waleyfa and Masham Moor.

A case can be made for a few of these but it's hard to ignore the claims of multiple course scorer KING OF YORK who can race off a 2 lb lower mark than when beaten a neck over C&D a week ago. C&D winner Masham Moor and in-form maiden Thats My Boy Luke are also in the picture.

In-form KING OF YORK (nap) holds particularly good claims and is first choice ahead of That's For Sure.

Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Appealing newcomer for top yard that usually has plenty of classy juveniles. Fetched 185,000GBP as a yearling; major respect from top yard.

8	8 (8) (9/1 -260%) Army Leave	9 9/1(-260%)	(8) Army Leave 9/1, Invincible Army filly who cost just €1,000 but attracted support and showed clear signs of ability in the first 2-y-o maiden at the Curragh (5f, soft) 12 days ago, a low draw no help to her. Open to improvement and obvious claims. Curragh debut third augurs well; should play a role.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

LADY IMAN made a six-figure price at Goffs and is a half-sister to a Group 2 winner. She is in good hands with Ger Lyons and makes plenty of appeal on paper. Army Leave was a market springer in the first juvenile maiden of the season at the Curragh and performed creditably in third. The winner looked very smart while there was also good word about the runner-up. Dundalk has been a happy hunting ground for Stephen Thorne at the start of his training career and he takes the wraps off Innumerable, who is related to a host of multiple winners. Stop The Nation is another newcomer to note in a race where the market will be informative.

Experience will probably count for plenty in this early 2-y-o maiden and ARMY LEAVE makes lots of appeal after a promising showing in the first race of the season at the Curragh a fortnight ago. Lady Iman and Stop The Nation are a couple of the more interesting newcomers and the betting should be revealing as ever.

Army Leave and Leblon Beach have valuable experience but are opposed by the newcomer LADY IMAN

TIMETOBENICE's sliding mark allows him to sneak in off top-weight and, following a more encouraging effort in a better contest at Chelmsford 15 days ago, Marco Botti's gelding could be worth siding with now eased in class. Down To The Kid has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to be in the mix once again. Vixey is another with valid form claims.

TIMETOBENICE has edged down to an attractive mark and, granted a bit of luck, he could be the answer. Down To The Kid and Jez Bomb are others who could have a part to play.

In-form mare VIXEY gets the verdict ahead of Down To The Kid, whose turn may be near.

First run for yard after leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam (sold 68,000 gns). Big run could be forthcoming (ran well on return over this trip last year). Solid enough maiden handicapper in Britain last year; new headgear combination tried.
4	4 (4) (11/2 +15%) Colugo	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(4) Colugo 11/2, 9/2, respectable second of 13 in maiden at this course (7f) on return 35 days ago, worn down only late on. Probably has a race in her on that showing. Recent comeback second augurs well but more likely needed to go one better.

The 85-rated ELANA OSARIO has the form to take this maiden. Last season, she came home third in a fillies' maiden at Clonmel and was runner-up in a pair of fillies' maidens at Killarney and the Curragh. She drops back to 1m and this race looks a good opportunity for her. Mallavelly could be a useful recruit for Ger Lyons. She was placed a couple of times in her three-year-old campaign in Britain for Jane Chapple-Hyam. She also wasn't far out of the places in a couple of valuable races at Newmarket and Goodwood. Colugo is race fit from a runner-up spot over 7f at this track in February, while there could be more to come from Shaool and Winsome.

ELANA OSARIO took another step forward when second in a Curragh maiden when last seen in October and can get off the mark dropped in trip on her return. Mallavelly is feared most starting out for Ger Lyons, Colugo has races in her judged on her second here 5 weeks ago.

Connections will be keen to get the winning bracket for ELANA OSARIO on seasonal return and she holds the best form claims

Placed on each of his last five outings, including over C&D at the beginning of the month, MATCH ANTHEM deserves a change in luck and he can be rewarded for his consistency on this occasion. Fifty Sent has also been paying his way and holds strong claims if coping with the drop from a mile, whereas Asadjumeirah has the potential to improve for going up in trip. Others to note include Mr Slicker and Thanks Dad.

MATCH ANTHEM has been holding his form abmirably well in recent months and everything appears to be in place for another bold show from the 4-y-o. He shades preference ahead of Lumenbourg, who wasn't at his best at Newcastle but scored over this C&D on penultimate start and should again be on the premises. Fifty Sent and Mr Slicker are others to consider.

Rock-solid MATCH ANTHEM looks particularly persuasive and is first choice ahead of Fifty Sent.

PROPOSE is likely to reap the benefit of an outing in an end-of-season maiden at the Curragh. This Frankel colt came home seventh in a massive field on yielding ground and is up in trip on Polytrack debut. He is Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore's sole representative on the card. O'Brien has landed the last three renewals of this race. What's Your Game caught a tartar when beaten into second over C&D at the end of February, but that should have him primed for this. Woodshaw Whisper was nearest at the finish in third at Leopardstown in October and has switched to Ger Lyons, while Truth Be Told handled this surface when third in a maiden in November and has to be respected.

PROPOSE made a promising start when seventh in a big-field Curragh maiden and can build on it on his return to get off the mark. Woodshaw Whisper also has better days ahead of him and could emerge as the main threat to Aidan O'Brien's Frankel colt ahead of Truth Be Told and What's Your Game.

Truth Be Told edges it on juvenile form but there may be greater improvement to come from WOODSHAW WHISPER

More on his plate from 4 lb higher but arrives in great heart in bid for the hat-trick. 2-2 for Ruth Carr, both wins coming over 6f at Newcastle; respected in hat-trick bid.
5	5 (5) (11/2 +31%) Cliffcake	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(5) Cliffcake 11/2, Capitalised on his reduced mark to win 9-runner handicap at this course (6.1f) but underlined his inconsistency when fifth of 7 in handicap (7/2) at this course (7.1f) 28 days ago. May find a couple too good in here. C&D win last month was emphatic but less good over 7f latest; easy lead unlikely.
8	8 (8) (13/2 +41%) One More Dream	6.5 13/2(+41%)	(8) One More Dream 13/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 19 runs last year. Creditable fourth of 9 in a decent handicap for the grade at this C&D 13 days ago. Not ruled out with blinkers on for the first time. On a dangerous mark if the addition of blinkers has a galvanising effect.
6	6 (6) (13/2 +13%) Hierarchy	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(6) Hierarchy 13/2, Twenty-one runs since last win in 2023 but is well-treated as a result. Unsuited by modest pace when 9/2, respectable third of 7 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago. Chance if this is to run to suit. Consistent sprinter but finds winning difficult; others appeal more.
1	1 (1) (50/1 -213%) Hover On The Wind	50 50/1(-213%)	(1) Hover On The Wind 50/1, Not seen since September when 6/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, firm). First run for yard after leaving Chris Dwyer and market may guide expectations on reappearance. Two Yarmouth wins last summer (6f); sold for 18,000gns last October; has gone well fresh.

It is difficult to look past the completely unexposed TWILIGHT DIAMOND, who was denied a double when only beaten a neck at Kempton. A mark of 75 on his handicap debut could prove lenient and David O'Meara's charge may have too much for Kats Bob, who is unbeaten since joining Ruth Carr but has a 4lb rise to overcome for his most recent success at Newcastle. Returning off 12lb lower than last year's victory in a division of this contest (Cliffcake won the other), One More Dream is noted, as is Commander Of Life on the drop in distance.

The unexposed TWILIGHT DIAMOND can make a successful handicap debut on the back of a couple of fairly useful efforts in novice events. Commander of Life could be interesting back sprinting having raced too keenly over a mile last time, while One More Dream is respected in his current form, with first-time blinkers to boot.

Dark Side Thunder can go well but the addition of blinkers could spark extra from the well-treated ONE MORE DREAM.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 13 in handicap (12/1) at this course (16f) 21 days ago, downed tools. Significantly back down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sole run for John McConnell when tenth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at this course (8f) 49 days ago. Needs to bounce back. 3 wins at 1m inc' 2 here; only seen once since 2023; changed yards after low-key return.
5	5 (5) (50/1 -150%) Gatsby Cap	50 50/1(-150%)	(5) Gatsby Cap 50/1, 4-time course winner. 20/1, below form fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f). Off 11 months. Significantly up in trip.

CHOPSTICKS could get his head in front for the first time. His last two runs saw him finish third over C&D and fourth over further, and a reproduction of either of those efforts would have him heavily involved. Dynamite Defense won on his penultimate start over 1m at this racecourse in September. He hasn't had many runs over this sort of trip, but does look one of the more likely contenders. Wonder Spirit has been out of form, but competes off a very low mark.

Lots with chances but CHOPSTICKS rates just the pick of these weights so edges the vote in his bid for a breakthrough victory. Randall Poets Lass heads the list of dangers, although the likes of Flier, Dynamite Defense and Wrecking Ball Paul all need factoring in too.

A chance taken on VILLEMACHO who's on a workable mark and may appreciate more of a stamina test this time

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
