Richard Hannon, who won the 2022 renewal for the same owners, sends out another attractive proposition in the shape of NORMAN'S CAY, who is a half-brother to a winning miler in Germany and boasts several high-profile entries for later in the season. This could be the ideal starting point and the son of Sioux Nation is a must for consideration. Kamakameleon boasts a similar set of entries and needs to be taken seriously. Sucking Diesel and Kanishka are other notable contenders.

The obvious starting point is NORMAN'S CAY, who represents the same owner/trainer as 2022 winner Persian Force. That smart juvenile obliged as a short-priced favourite and this son of Sioux Nation would likely be hard to beat if the betting vibes are similarly strong. Sucking Diesel, Kamakameleon and The Boreham Bullet are others who make paper appeal before any betting clues are known.

Norman's Cay and Kamakameleon command respect, while KANISHKA and Mighty Vega are interesting alternatives.

Adrian Murray has a couple in this and jockey bookings would suggest that MIAMI DESTINATION is the pick. The Ten Sovereigns filly cost 30,000 pounds as a yearling and is out of a half-sister to Group 2 winner Captain Marvelous. Oh Cecelia was a 48,000-euro purchase and her dam was a two-year-old winner at this venue. She is another to note. Gavin Cromwell has done well with his two-year-olds in recent years and Joyful Tidings also commands respect.

STONEZILIAN is bred to be useful and gets the tentative vote before market clues. Miami Destination and Joyful Tidings are two other likely types on paper.

It looks like a match between Stonezilian and MIAMI DESTINATION, with the latter fancied to come out on top
Class & Speed Card

MYAL appeals because of his progressive profile. Unraced as a juvenile, he has won four of his eight starts and could round out a five-timer with the step up to a mile likely to suit. Look Back Smiling won this off 1lb higher 12 months ago and is respected with Brandon Wilkie claiming 5lb in the saddle. Thunder Roar (second) and Arthur's Realm (third) helped fill the places last year and can also figure. However, the less-exposed Surrey Shadow may be a bigger danger following his novice stakes win at Southwell.

The pick of several appealing candidates is PRESSURE'S ON, who ended last season on the up and looks set for a productive campaign ahead judged on his strong-finishing reappearance second at Wolverhampton. Stepping back up to a mile in what will be a strongly-run race could equate to an ideal scenario for this 4-y-o. The progressive Naepoint is feared most ahead of Ocean of Dreams, an unexposed recruit from the Aidan O'Brien yard, while Our Havana and Promethean are other key players.

The list is headed by progressive contenders NAEPOINT and Myal who have a combined record of 7-9 since handicappping.
Class & Speed Card

KIENTZHEIM raced too keenly to do herself justice in a race she was strongly fancied to win at Newbury. However, Nicky Henderson's French import is better than that and can atone if she bounces back to the sort of form that saw her make an impressive debut for the yard at Kempton's Christmas fixture. Adonis runner-up St Pancras is a live danger, despite the four-year-old carrying a penalty for winning the Scottish Triumph Hurdle at Musselburgh. Dambuster is a notable recruit from the Flat to keep an eye on.

ST PANCRAS sets a high standard for a race of this nature and can make the most of the drop in grade. Kientzheim remains with potential, particularly now faced with a sharp 2m, with Dambuster an interesting hurdling newcomer.

Barring incident this should be a straight shootout between the standout form contenders ST PANCRAS and Kientzheim.
Class & Speed Card

KAMBOO disappointed on his final two starts on turf last year, but is now only 4lb higher than when scoring at Newcastle in August. Gelding and wind operations over the winter may bring about further improvement from Richard Hughes' inmate and the booking of William Buick suggest connections mean business. Who's Glen is another with valid form claims, although he does have some ground to find with the selection based on that Newcastle meeting. Others to note are Cool Party and Tritonic.

KAMBOO has proved himself most effective on the AW and is very interesting tackling 2m for the first. He can bounce back from a couple of disappointing efforts on the turf to take this on reappearance following wind surgery. Cool Party is feasibly treated and merits plenty of respect having shaped with promise last time, while recent hat-trick scorer Alrazeen may well bounce back to form. The long absent Golden Rules is an intriguing contender and one to note in the betting.

Kamboo is a dark horse to note but stamina is going to be a strength for WHO'S GLEN (nap) who gets the vote.
Class & Speed Card

REMARKABLE FLIGHT hit the woodwork on her handicap bow but made no mistake at Fakenham next time, where she won in comfortable fashion. A 5lb rise could underestimate Jennie Candlish's unexposed hurdler and she's taken to follow up at the main expense of Ruler Legend, who could progress in first-time cheekpieces. Crystal Glance is two from three on good ground, so it would come as no surprise were she to show more today.

Having seen out his race well back over 2m last time, RULER LEGEND makes appeal in first-time cheekpieces with the stable's promising conditional jockey taking off a valuable 8 lb riding against fellow conditionals. Remarkable Flight arrives on the back of a victory and there could well be further improvement to come, while the lightly-raced Fat Harry is respected having shown his best form to date over a longer trip earlier this month.

Preference is for the 4yo REMARKABLE FLIGHT, who added to her two Flat wins when justifying favouritism at Fakenham two weeks ago.
Class & Speed Card

A very competitive contest and TWO STARS gets the vote. Fozzy Stack generally has his horses well forward at the start of the year and this Starspangledbanner gelding may be able to pick up from where he left off last season. He won over course and distance in November before getting pipped late on at Doncaster just six days later. Keke was a big improver last term, winning four handicaps, and is another who could progress again this season. Real Force won over C&D on his seasonal debut last year and is another to consider.

KEKE ended last season on a steep upward curve, posting a decidedly useful effort when signing off with success over C&D in September. He looks one to keep on side this campaign on that evidence and shades the vote over Two Stars, who looks the type to do better again himself as a 5-y-o. Real Force and Stag Night complete the shortlist.

Some of these are closely matched over C&D but STAG NIGHT can gain revenge for his runner-up finish in this contest last year
Class & Speed Card

James's Delight (eighth) is a sprinter who could have a big impact this season and he boasts a solid chance, assuming the ground holds enough juice for him. However, SPYCATCHER (sixth) fended off Clive Cox's gelding when they clashed in a Group 3 at Deauville last summer and cemented his authority by finishing a couple of places ahead of him in the Champions Sprint at Ascot in October. Marshman runs for the same yard and is another must for consideration, while Al Shabab Storm boasts each-way appeal.

JAMES'S DELIGHT enjoyed an excellent 2024, winning 4 times prior to shaping better than the bare result in Group 1 company on Champions' Day at Ascot on his final outing in October. He appeals as the type to rate higher still as a 4-y-o and narrowly shades the vote ahead of last year's runner-up Marshman, who has resumed in rude health on all-weather in recent months. Spycatcher, stablemate of the latter, is another capable of playing a lead role on return.

Last year's runner-up Marshman makes plenty of appeal but IBERIAN was a classy 2yo who may yet make his mark as a sprinter.
Class & Speed Card

LAWMANS BLIS is just about the only one who comes into this with little to prove and has a decent chance of following up last week's 13-length victory at Sedgefield. A mark off 99 for his handicap bow in this sphere looks fair and the Jennie Candlish-trained gelding is hard to oppose with improvement likely. Mambo Beat showed more sparkle with cheekpieces added at Hereford and can figure if the headgear draws further progression. Present De Vango and For You Buzz are unexposed and appeal as solid each-way options.

Olly Murphy has struck with 3 of his last 7 handicap hurdle debutants (also had 2 runners-up) and he may be able to enhance that fine record with PRESENT DE VANGO. The lightly-raced 7-y-o appears to have been brought along with handicaps in mind and makes appeal in a weak race, particularly if the market noises are positive following a 17-month absence. Fillyfudge will be suited by this sharp test and should be spot on after a recent spin on the Flat, with Mambo Beat not ruled out.

Present De Vango (second choice) is the dark horse but MAMBO BEAT will go well if backing up his improved effort at Hereford.
Class & Speed Card

MOUNT ATLAS progressed very well last year and was last seen finishing second in the valuable Old Rowley Cup at Newmarket in October. The four-year-old has been gelded subsequently and that may help him to defy a 4lb rise on his return to action. Killybegs Warrior was second in this contest last year off an 11lb higher mark and he arrives here on the back of some encouraging efforts in Bahrain. Balmacara edges out Paradias and Mr Alan to be best of the rest.

MOUNT ATLAS went the right way last year, winning twice before finishing clear of the rest when runner-up at Newmarket in October, and he can pick up where he left off to land this valuable prize. Heading the list of dangers is Calumet, who also enjoyed a progressive campaign in 2024, while Teumessias Fox is another to consider back on all-weather.

Andrew Balding appears to have a particularly strong hand and his TEUMESSIAS FOX and Mount Atlas top the list.
Class & Speed Card

DOCTOR KILDARE was no match for a progressive rival at Doncaster recently, but there doesn't appear to be anything of a similar ilk here and he looks set to take all the beating, with a step up in trip seemingly in his favour too. Stone's Throw is only 3lb inferior to the selection on official ratings and is entitled to go close, but he's disappointed in his last two starts and has something to prove. La Higuera is another to consider.

An excellent opportunity for DOCTOR KILDARE, who's progressed with each run over hurdles and promises to be suited by the step up in trip. La Higuera is preferred to Stone's Throw for forecast purposes.

This should not take much winning and DOCTOR KILDARE has more going for him than the others.
Class & Speed Card

SMILING has the potential to improve again this season. The No Nay Never filly stepped forward nicely from her first run when finishing second at Dundalk in November. Stepping back up to six furlongs now looks like it should suit her. Vanderbilt House contested some strong maidens last term and has the highest mark of those with an official rating. She is fitted with cheekpieces on her return and is a big player. Kilmood Susan, rated 78, also boasts some nice juvenile form.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and SMILING looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to build on earlier promise and get off the mark. Pickersgill also has the form to play a part and is next on the list ahead of Kimood Susan and Vanderbilt House.

Runner-up over 5f at Dundalk on her second start, SMILING may have improved sufficiently to reverse Naas form with Pickersgill.
Class & Speed Card

DANCING GEMINI may be winless since a Listed success here in September 2023, but he kept top company last season, including runs in both the Derby and Eclipse. Proven when fresh, having finished runner-up in the French 2000 Guineas last May, Roger Teal's charge is narrowly preferred to Botanical, who scored first time out last season at York and went on to place in a strong renewal of the John Smith's Cup. A taking winner of the Cambridgeshire on his penultimate start, Liberty Lane should also go well.

A strong-looking renewal of this listed contest. LIBERTY LANE produced one of the handicap performances of 2024 when landing the Cambridgeshire in good style on his penultimate start and has to be considered the one to beat on his return to action. Point Lynas could be dangerous, especially if allowed an easy time of things on the front end, with low-mileage 5-y-o Botanical another who seems likely to be making his mark in pattern company before long.

Botanical appeals as one who will do well for George Boughey in 2025 but narrow preference is for the same owner's LIBERTY LANE.
Class & Speed Card

THE WOLF banished the memory of a modest run at Carlisle with a game second to a well-fancied rival at Kempton a fortnight ago. Competing off the same rating, Olly Murphy's still-enthusiastic veteran could be hard to beat. Pedley Wood patently failed to deliver when bidding to complete a Wincanton hat-trick, but he could bounce back on better ground. Leicester winner Mahons Glory is preferred to Sine Nomine as third choice.

It's fair to say things haven't gone to plan for SINE NOMINE this season, but she was one of the best hunters around last year so can get her career back on track partnered by a fully-fledged professional rider for the first time. The Wolf wasted no time getting back to form when finishing runner-up at Kempton a fortnight ago, so he can edge out last-time-out winner Mahons Glory for the forecast spot.

The 11yo THE WOLF has enjoyed a good season and is taken to go one better than when runner-up at Kempton a fortnight ago.
Class & Speed Card

SOPRANO twice made the frame at the highest level towards the end of last season and her final defeat at the Breeders' Cup in November can easily be forgiven. George Boughey's filly is clearly the one to beat on that evidence. Shuwari brings a similar level of form to the table, but the fact that she missed all of last year means that she has a few more questions to answer compared to the selection. If seeing out this big step up in trip, Crimson Advocate could go well.

Having placed twice in Group 1 company last year, SOPRANO looks to hold leading claims as she drops back down in grade and trip for her reappearance. The biggest threat to George Boughey's filly could come from Shuwari, who was runner-up at the highest level when last seen 17 months ago, with Rose Prick completing the shortlist.

The unexposed Rubies From Burma is an interesting candidate but the best form belongs to SOPRANO who gets the vote.
Class & Speed Card

Presenting Doy gave favourite backers a scare when narrowly prevailing at Lingfield last month but she remains of interest now sent handicapping, although preference is for BLUE LAS. Having bolted up at Ffos Las in December, she didn't look out of her depth in the Jane Seymour at Sandown next time and an opening mark of 120 does not look beyond her. Sweet Magic plugged on for second at Warwick recently and is likely to be on the premises once again.

An interesting mares' handicap with the narrow vote in favour of PRESENTING DOY. She made heavy weather of landing cramped odds in a mares' maiden at Lingfield 46 days ago, yet she undoubtedly remains with potential, and is of interest now handicapping for her in-form yard. Don't Tell Rosie, Blue Las and Sweet Magic head up the dangers.

With the form of her handicap debut second at Taunton having been nicely franked, DON'T TELL ROSIE is taken to get off the mark.
Class & Speed Card

MATHAN got going a bit too late when second on his return here 13 days ago and can go one better now. The Joseph O'Brien-trained colt was finishing off strongly to get within a neck of Glen To Glen over six furlongs and it looks like a good move to step up to seven. Ryan Moore takes the mount on Ballydoyle newcomer Monkstown and the market may prove the best guide to his chances. 2023 Champion Bumper winner A Dream To Share kept on nicely when fourth over a mile here recently but the drop to 7f doesn't look ideal.

MATHAN has achieved enough to think he can win a race like this, although a strong market move for Aidan O'Brien newcomer Monkstown would make him a possible big threat. A Dream To Share isn't sure to benefit from this slightly shorter trip but could still hit the frame again.

With the advantage of three previous runs MATHAN gets the vote over the Aidan O'Brien-trained newcomer Monskstown
Class & Speed Card

William Haggas has won this prestigious contest twice and he looks to have an ideal type this time around in GODWINSON, who may not be the most consistent but is very capable on his day. Runner-up in the Spring Cup at Newbury to begin last season before scoring at Goodwood in August, he remains unexposed for a five-year-old and is taken to go very close. A taking winner of a valuable handicap at York on his penultimate start, Thunder Run has the potential to win a race like this, while the same may be said of the well-bred Midnight Gun, who is the choice of James Doyle. Recent Irish Lincoln winner Orandi is expected to be thereabouts, along with last year's runner-up Lattam.

The Karl Burke stable plundered wins in the Ayr Gold Cup and Cambridgeshire last autumn and this increasingly powerful yard has a good chance of more big handicap success courtesy of THUNDER RUN and Native Warrior. The former travelled like one still on a good mark when faring best of those ridden close up in the Balmoral at Ascot and is preferred. Midnight Gun, an ownermate of Native Warrior, Whip Cracker and Toimy Son, whose yard won this in 2023, complete the shortlist.

Having been the only runner to threaten a Godolphin hotpot in a big-field handicap at Meydan last month, SEAN (nap) earns the vote.
Class & Speed Card

MATCHLESS was disappointing at Catterick on his latest start, but this appears to be a solid opportunity for him to make amends. The seven-year-old steps back up in trip, which is expected to see him in a different light. Greatness Awaits is the likely pace angle and a threat to all if able to dominate proceedings, while others to note include Black Tonic and It's A Good Name.

HONNEUR D'AJONC didn't do a lot wrong at Catterick on penultimate start and looks the safest option if turned ou again after Wetherby on Friday in a contest where few appeal. Matchless and Greatness Awaits may give him most to think bout.

Matchless and Honneur d'Ajonc are dangerous but GREATNESS AWAITS is perhaps the one most likely to give his running.
Class & Speed Card

Ellaria Sand was kept busy last season, which ended with Ollie Sangster's filly picking up black type with a Listed victory at Newbury. That said, she may prove vulnerable to some less-exposed individuals and GLITTERING SURF might be the answer. The daughter of Oasis Dream made a bright start over C&D in December, with a performance suggesting she is more than worth her place at this level. The unbeaten American Gal and Bermuda Longtail are others capable of being in the mix.

This could go the way of ELLARIA SAND, who sets the standard having been successful in a listed race at Newbury on her final start last year and holds an entry in the 1000 Guineas. She is taken to get the better of several potential improvers in the line-up, with course-winner Bermuda Longtail feared most, ahead of Glittering Surf.

It's a hard choice but preference is for GLITTERING SURF over fellow Kempton winners Bermuda Longtail and American Gal.
Class & Speed Card

All of these have claims, but none more so than RANGE, who put in a promising display on his return to chasing at Exeter earlier in the month. He may have been last of three on that occasion, but the eight-year-old wasn't beaten far and should be competitive off 1lb lower here. King Arise failed to fire last time but is a player based on his previous efforts, while Georgi Girl is next best.

RANGE hasn't built on his decisive all-the-way Chepstow success in three subsequent starts in this sphere, largely owing to some sketchy jumping, but he has been keeping good company and this represents a golden opportunity for the 8-y-o to get back on track. The clear main danger is King Arise, who hasn't done a great deal wrong since switched to fences, whereas Georgi Girl hasn't looked a natural over the larger obstacles so far and Coqolino is 0-17 in this sphere.

Having enjoyed a good season prior to a bit of a blip at Leicester three weeks ago, KING ARISE is taken to bounce back with a win.
Class & Speed Card

CAMILLE PISSARRO was a smart juvenile last year and handled soft ground very well when landing the Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere over this trip at Longchamp. Poet Master has gained all five career wins over 7f and was particularly impressive when easily beating Lord Massusus in the Minstrel Stakes over C&D last summer. Power Under Me relishes a soft surface and has been a great servant to connections over many years. He had Fleur De Chine and Mexicali Rose behind in second and third when successful at Tipperary last October.

CAMILLE PISSARRO made it 2-2 on going softer than good when shading a tight finish in a French Group 1 last autumn and is taken to defy a penalty on his return against older and more exposed opposition aside from his maiden-winning stablemate. Big Gossey added to his many good efforts at this venue when third in a handicap off 105 a couple of weekends ago and is second choice ahead of Karl Burke raider Poet Master, who landed the Group 2 Minstrel here last season.

This is not an easy first assignment for the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere winner CAMILLE PISSARRO but he has plenty in his favour
Class & Speed Card

Denied by the narrowest of margins on debut at Kempton in November, BEDOUIN PRINCE is likely to improve for going up in trip and can strike for the powerful Charlie Appleby stable. Another open to progress on the back of a promising third at Southwell earlier in the month, Bouquet De Paris must enter calculations for a yard which has hit form of late. A well-bred colt by Zarak and owned by Amo Racing, Square Necker looks the pick of the newcomers.

A host in with chances but the verdict goes to BEDOUIN PRINCE, who all but justified his considerable strength in the betting first time out at Kempton back in November and Charlie Appleby's colt is open to improvement immediately stepped up in trip. Debutant Square Necker ticks plenty of boxes on paper, so he heads up the dangers representing powerful connections, with Andrew Balding's pair Bouquet de Paris and The Cursor both fancied to improve on their initial efforts, too.

Godolphin's BEDOUIN PRINCE only narrowly failed to justify market confidence at Kempton and he's bred for this longer distance.
Class & Speed Card

SIAM PARK has already made up into a better chaser by getting off the mark at Taunton earlier in the month. A 5lb rise is unlikely to stop Joe Tizzard's charge from progressing again, with a rise in trip potentially helping him take another step in the right direction. Inspiratrice is fairly handicapped on her best form and has to enter calculations along with Kayce Dutton, who finished second at Huntingdon last time.

SIAM PARK confirmed the promise of his chase debut effort when opening his account over shorter at Taunton (2m) 19 days ago and, appealing as the type to do better still, he looks to hold sound claims again returned to this longer trip. Veteran Mortens Leam and Tactical Affair are others to consider, with Kayce Dutton another contender if proving as effective away from Huntingdon.

There's more to come from Intrepide Sud now the ground is drying out but SIAM PARK (nap) can cope with a 5lb rise for Taunton.
Class & Speed Card

CAVALLO BAY spent the latter part of 2024 in the US producing a string of consistent displays and the son of Pinatubo may prove a tough nut to crack if replicating any of those Graded performances. Soft ground probably didn't help Hawksbill in the Royal Lodge and Hugo Palmer's colt could easily get back on track on his all-weather debut. Glittering Legend showed a good attitude to score at Doncaster in October and is open to taking another step forward.

In a race of promising types, CAVALLO BAY may just have the class edge having been far from disgraced when hitting the frame in 3 valuable races in the States at the back end of last season. He can make a winning return following a gelding operation, ahead of Glittering Legend who improved throughout his 2-y-o season and may resume that progress, while Hawksbill is respected dropping back down in grade.

Several bring potential but CAVALLO BAY has the best form and looks the one to beat.
Class & Speed Card

In an open event marginal preference is for BROUGHSHANE, who showed promise when third on his chasing debut at Fontwell a few weeks ago. This step up in trip should suit the son of Mahler and he remains on a workable mark. Almazhar Garde disappointed on soft ground last time but could bounce back with conditions likely to be more suitable here, while Konfusion and Militaire complete the shortlist.

BROUGHSHANE shaped well on his debut in this sphere when third at Fontwell and with progress very much on the cards he looks the way to go. Konfusion is weighted to have a big say and rates the chief danger, while in-form duo Militaire and Nine Nine Nine need factoring in too.

The step up in trip looks the right move for the unexposed 7yo KONFUSION (nap) and he can add to last month's win at Wetherby.
Class & Speed Card

J M'S JOY was placed a number of times including on soft ground for Pat Martin last year and should be suited by this extra 2f after staying on into second behind Athlumney Warrior over a mile at Dundalk last month. Red Scarlet also showed promise as a juvenile including when unlucky in running on her final start in a valuable event at Naas, while Dawn Spirit should step forward from her debut at Leopardstown last autumn. Restful and Adrienne boast placed form in maidens and both are now blinkered for the first time, while Mother Mara and Response Finale are others to consider in an open-looking maiden.

One of the newcomers wouldn't need to be out of the ordinary to take this and SOUND OF LIGHTNING is the most likely candidate. She is from a good family and the hint should be taken if there is confidence behind her in the betting. Restful showed promise in a couple of 1m maidens during the autumn and she looks the pick of those with experience, while J M's Joy is best of the rest.

With the standard set by fillies with official ratings in the mid-70s, it could be worth taking a chance with SOUND OF LIGHTNING
Class & Speed Card

FREDDY ROBINSON was a consistent performer on the level during 2024 and arrives here with fitness guaranteed after a spell over hurdles. His rider's 7lb allowance will certainly help in what appears to be a competitive event for the grade. Bashful's recent hurdles form gives him strong credentials, while others for the shortlist include Muhib, Rock Armour and Life On The Rocks.

Lots with chances but the vote goes to MARIOENTO who took his form up a notch when getting off the mark at Wolverhampton last month and looks open to further progress now he steps up further in trip. Life On The Rocks is weighted to go well and could emerge as the chief threat to George Boughey's lightly-raced son of Farhh, with Waistcoat, Bulldog Spirit, Aim For The Moon and Bashful all in the picture too in this very open handicap.

The AW doesn't work for LIFE ON THE ROCKS but his turf mark has fallen in tandem with his AW one and he's interesting back on grass.
Class & Speed Card

MAGGIES BOY produced his best effort to date when runner-up on his handicap debut at Sedgefield and the application of first-time cheekpieces is likely to help sharpen him up in his bid to go one better. Nowyouvebinandunit went close over C&D earlier in the month and a repeat of that display is likely to see her get competitive again, despite a 3lb higher mark. Others for the shortlist include My Louise and Arctic Saint.

MAGGIES BOY has been going the right way over hurdles, showing much improved form when second on handicap debut at Sedgefield last time, and with this longer trip promising to suit he is taken to go one better with cheekpieces added. Nowyouvebinandunit took a step forward when runner-up here 19 days ago and is feared most, ahead of Arctic Saint.

Maggies Boy is feared but if TROPICAL SPEED is to win a race it will be at this lowly level under these conditions.
Class & Speed Card

An open event in which many will fancy their chances, and only a tentative vote can go to ROHAAN. It's been a while since his last success but that came off 15lb higher on the grass and, if backing up his latest effort when second at Southwell, he ought to go very close. Harry Did was a game winner from the front at Newcastle and there could be more to come from the low-mileage four-year-old. Others to note include Amazonian Dream and Monsieur Beaulieu.

Preference is for HARRY DID, who got back on the scoreboard at Newcastle last month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. Rohaan and Monsieur Beaulieu can also make their presence felt.

Aramram is a key player on his reappearance but HABOOBA had excuses on her return and can resume her progress from a handy draw.
Class & Speed Card

DOUBLE CLICK may need to prove himself on good ground, but he has been in excellent form of late with a win and a second at Ffos Las. Stepping up in trip may bring out further improvement and he gets the vote ahead of Clondaw Royale, who has performed with credit since scoring at Haydock in December. Copshill Lad and Paddy O'Mahler are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Cases can be made for several, but the suggestion is DOUBLE CLICK, who arrives on the back of a career-best effort after pulling clear with an unexposed winner at Ffos Las just over 7 weeks ago. He can regain the winning thread at the expense of Clondaw Royale, who has remained in from since his Haydock success back in December. Party Business, Risk d'Argent and Paddy O'Mahler are just a handful of others to consider, too.

Ian Williams' PARTY BUSINESS can build on an encouraging run over an inadequate trip last time.
Class & Speed Card

There is little to choose between Akecheta and INDIGO FIVE on running behind Rhythm King over C&D last backend with Titanium, No More Porter and Casanova all further adrift. The Johnny Feane-trained mare may now hold a slight fitness edge having made a pleasing reappearance when fourth to Oranadi here in the Lincoln with Fort Vega just a length behind in sixth. The application of a tongue tie proved key as Goldrush Kid opened his account over C&D on the opening day of the season and he is again on the shortlist, despite a 6lb rise in the ratings.

The vote goes to FORT VEGA, who was limited to just one appearance in 2024 but he shaped well on return in the Irish Lincoln recently and is entitled to come on for that run. The lightly-raced 5-y-o appears to be on a good mark and the booking of Colin Keane adds to his appeal. No More Porter failed to fire in the Irish Lincoln but he will be a threat if on-song this time, while Apercu, a narrow winner here when last seen in October, and recent C&D scorer Goldrush Kid are others to consider.

Preference is for EVENING BLOSSOM, who ran well on soft early in her career and the mile is her optimum trip
Class & Speed Card

RUN OF LUCK stepped forward on his three appearances in handicap company last season, which included a victory at Bath in September, and the four-year-old has the potential for further improvement on just his seventh career outing. Letmeseethecolts is a key player dropping back in trip along with the consistent Rainwater, who may have more to offer returning to turf.

Preference is for RAINWATER, who has aquitted himself well on both starts this year and has the assistance of promising claimer Warren Fentiman. Letmeseethecolts and Miners Gamble head the list of dangers in an open-looking finale.

The most solid option is RAINWATER, who arrives on the back of a series of solid AW efforts.
Class & Speed Card

The Jim Goldie stable can do little wrong at present, and MIDNIGHT LION looks the one to beat on the back of a comfortable success over C&D last week. A 3lb rise may prove lenient and the five-year-old is preferred to old rival Federated, who improved to score easily over further here following a narrow defeat to the selection over this track and trip in December. Not outside the first three in any of his last seven starts, Urban Road cannot be ruled out either.

FEDERATED has been notably progressive since ridden more prominently and an 8 lb rise for his latest success may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Mr Mistoffelees and Midnight Lion head the opposition.

Being open to further improvement over middle distances, FEDERATED (nap) could well win again. Midnight Lion is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

JAVA RAJA (third) finished just under three lengths behind Sugar Road (second) in a novice event at Southwell but, pitched into a handicap for the first time and with blinkers applied, he could reverse the form on 5lb better terms en route to victory. Aiming High merits respect up in class, having landed a comfortable success at Wolverhampton last Saturday. Top-weight Arqoob, who was narrowly denied over C&D last time out, should not be overlooked either.

Last week's Wolverhampton winner AIMING HIGH still looks on a workable mark and may be able to follow up in the finale. Arqoob and Java Raja rate the principal dangers.

The more exposed types are in the mix but handicap newcomers SUGAR ROAD and Java Raja (tricky last time) have to catch the eye.

A well-backed favourite on debut at Hereford last month, EMERALD WARRIOR shaped with plenty of promise in second and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to go one better. Over five lengths behind him on that occasion when rallying late in the piece for third, Donttellyamumjack may get closer on this occasion, while Double Measure looks the pick of the newcomers for the Skelton team. Dropping in class having contested a Listed race at Cheltenham on debut in January, Walk In The West must also enter calculations.

This has the look of a warm bumper. The Dan Skelton stable has mopped up in similar races this season so his debutant DOUBLE MEASURE is the suggestion before any betting clues are known. Last month's Hereford 2-3 Emerald Warrior and Donttellyamumjack should figure, while the fact that Walk In The West went off at 4/1 for a 16-runner listed race on debut suggests he's thought to be a lot better than he showed on that occasion. There are also other interesting newcomers to monitor in the betting.

Hereford second and third Emerald Warrior and Donttellyamumjack are respected but the vote goes to newcomer DOUBLE MEASURE.

PARTY DRESS won a 1m1f Tipperary maiden on soft ground last year and also scored over hurdles when last seen at Thurles in November. The selection appears fairly handicapped judged on her last Flat outing when finishing well into third behind Nans View (now 20lb worse off) here over 1m2f. Duke Of Leggagh reverts to the level having won twice over hurdles at Naas this year, while Whimsy is also well suited by a soft surface and ended a frustrating sequence of places over hurdles in decisive fashion at Gowran earlier this month. Bear Profit, Solar Breeze and Calzaghi are others to consider.

Joseph O'Brien's lightly-raced 4-y-o LEINSTER shaped well in a truncated campaign in 2024 and is taken to return in style here with this step up in trip a likely big plus. Calzaghi is another with better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers with Party Dress, Saffronandblue and Solar Breeze all in the mix too.

The vote goes to DUKE OF LEGGAGH, who won back-to-back handicap hurdles at Naas in February and looks well handicapped back on the Flat

BAYENAH ended her two-year-old campaign with an encouraging third over 1m at Doncaster and, with the prospect of improvement to come over further on breeding, she can get off the mark for leading connections. Arkinthestars was thought of highly enough to contest a valuable auction race at the Curragh on debut last September, and she should come on for recent return at Southwell. The Michael Bell stable is in top form at present and his Cecilia Star looks like a newcomer to note with Daniel Tudhope booked in the saddle.

BAYENAH holds the edge on form and, with better to come now she steps up in distance, the Gosdens' daughter of Dubawi looks the way to go. Ghaiyya has some fair form to her name and could prove the main threat ahead of newcomer Cecilia Star.

There isn't much between the main players on ratings. The narrow vote goes to BAYENAH ahead of Ghaiyya then Arkinthestars.

Placed on each of his last two starts over shorter here, BANTZ looks worth another go at 1m and gets that opportunity in a winnable contest. A mark of 60 still looks manageable and the son of Kodiac may have too much for Kilteel, who bounced back to form with a promising third over 6f here when last seen in October. A stablemate of the selection, Rose Of New Jersey may be winless in eight starts but is another who could relish the step up to a mile.

BANTZ signalled he is ready to strike again when a clear second here last time out and can bag a second course success off just a 1 lb higher mark here. Kilteel will benefit from stepping up in distance and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Hashtagnotions and Rose of New Jersey.

Gemma Tutty has two interesting contenders in Bantz and ROSE OF JERSEY and it might be worth siding with the latter.

Callianassa brings solid form to the table but could be vulnerable in this company. As a result, preference is for LA BOTTE, who displayed plenty of promise when third on his debut at Kempton in October and the son of Too Darn Hot is entitled to improve for that experience. Frankini is another with valid form claims, while any market support for College Fund on debut would have to be noted.

FRANKINI ran well in a couple of useful maidens on turf last autumn and gets the vote for in-form Andrew Balding. La Botte and Callianassa are the chief form threats, while Obito is a newcomer who would need considering if the betting speaks in his favour.

Preference is for LA BOTTE, who showed plenty of promise with his debut third behind a useful rival at Kempton in October.

SORBUS took a big step forwards when third on her handicap debut over an extended mile at Wolverhampton recently and George Scott's unexposed filly has to be of interest off a 1lb lower mark. The hat-trick seeking Tuco Salamanca is an obvious threat to the selection but needs to find more progression to defy a 3lb rise for his latest success. Others to consider are Saxonia and Hot To Dot.

TUCO SALAMANCA underwent wind surgery following three quiet runs at 2 yrs and has improved markedly since returning to action last month, landing a 7f Kempton maiden in good style prior to following up on handicap debut over 8.6f at Wolverhampton. A 3 lb rise for that probably underestimates him and dropping back in trip shouldn't inconvenience this strong-travelling type. Hot To Dot also remains with potential and she is second choice ahead of Sorbus and Saxonia.

Tuco Salamanca is greatly respected but WAR HOWL is of some interest judged on his Newmarket third last summer.

A few of these have enjoyed fantastic starts to 2025, not least POCKLEY, who has won three times since the beginning of February and should have made it four when meeting trouble over 5f here. He so nearly overcame it and compensation awaits. Oriental Prince has also been flying and struck for the first time away from this venue when successful at Southwell. Sir Maxi justified favouritism at Chelmsford and the drop back from 7f isn't an issue. Just Ten High won't be far away either.

ORIENTAL PRINCE's form figures since the hood went on read 112181 and it's unlikely that a 4 lb rise for his Southwell success a fortnight ago will be enough to stop him. Next on the list is fellow last-time-out scorer Sir Maxi, who has also benefited from new headgear of late, going close over 7f here prior to winning well at Chelmsford with blinkers enlisted the last twice. He is feared most ahead of Just Ten High and Pockley.

In the hope that a wind operation has had a positive effect it may be worth chancing top-weight TWELFTH KNIGHT off a much reduced mark.

TOMORROW DAY runs here instead of in the previous race and 7f does seem his optimum trip nowadays. He chased home a subsequent winner over C&D last time and is weighted to reverse last month's 6f form with Rebecca's Girl, who nevertheless has held her form really well and remains a danger. Cusack and Wyvern make swift turnarounds after a track-and-trip triumph and 1m second respectively, while Roaring Ralph has been performing well over an inadequate 6f.

STARLINER confirmed his return to form and shaped better than the bare result in the process when finishing midfield in a C&D handicap 16 days ago, just unable to sustain his eye-catching move having been caught wide from his low draw. He shades the vote to confirm the promise of that run, with the ultra-consistent Rebecca's Girl and Roaring Ralph others to consider. Tomorrow Day, who has been kept very busy in recent months, isn't out of things, either.

Rebecca's Girl can go well once again but the return to 7f could see ROARING RALPH resume winning ways.

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.

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.
